Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 260 Am I A Kneeling Beggar?

Yongle 15 years, the end of March.

Water mist enveloped the sky over Jinling City, and during the month when swallows flew north, King Qi was also discussing with his ministers in the Wenhua Hall to move the capital to the north.

The person who presided over the meeting was the crown prince, and the participants included cabinet bachelors, officials of the Sixth Metropolitan Procuratorate, commanders of the Five Armies, commanders of Jinyiwei, commanders of Nanzhili guards, Geshizhong, Zhongshusheren, and Shisan Dao The Censor of the Palm Seal, the Secretary of General Administration, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Taipu Temple, Yingtianfu, Hanlin Academy, Chunfang, Guanglu Temple, Qintianjian, Shangbaosi, the Five Armies Judges, and the county magistrate of Jing.

There seems to be something wrong with this list...

By the way, since the 13th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, there has been no prince.

The original prince was abolished as the king of Gan and replaced by King Qi to oversee the country.

To be more precise, since February 15, [-]th year of Yongle, there has been no King Qi, and now he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

The following is the imperial edict read by Mr. Tang at the court meeting on February [-]:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

The national reserve cannot be built for a long time, the foundation of the world lies in it.In the past, I was able to overcome disasters and create great unification, thanks to the difficult times. Now the foundation has been established, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and I appointed Erzhu Gaoxuan as the crown prince.Zier is in the East Palace, he respects the sky but is cautious, and he is responsible for the army and the country. The sixth division Zhaomin should subdue his heart with benevolence, trust, kindness and power, and use it forever in the state, so he should be cautious. "

Since more than a month ago, His Majesty the Emperor began to ignore state affairs and became the shopkeeper after he became the crown prince.

Although the ministers were shocked, they also felt that it was reasonable. They had expected this incident a long time ago.

It is not a matter of a day or two for Master Yongle to be the shopkeeper. Since two years ago, Master Yongle has begun to delegate power to King Qi. None of them showed up.

If it were Zhu Di who had just ascended the throne, he would have led the army to kill him as soon as he heard that there was a rebellion.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor was more or less in charge of things two years ago, but now he has completely ignored it. The officials also realized that this old man who is nearly [-] years old is really determined to treat Zhu Gaoxuan as the heir apparent this time, and has not changed it again. Prince Chu meant it.

……

In the meeting of the Wenhua Palace, in addition to the addition of a prince, there was also a loss of the most active person in the matter of moving the capital.

——Zhu Di.

Because since the time when he became the crown prince, this Yongle Lord had already gone to Shuntian Mansion to retire, and the affairs in Jinling City were fully entrusted to Prince Zhu Gaoxuan and Young Master Yao Guangxiao. They waited for the capital to be moved to Shuntian Mansion.

What this master dumped was really clean enough, he ran to Shuntian Mansion to relax, and didn't care about anything else.

……

"The Shuntian Imperial Palace has been repaired to this day, and the general project has been completed. The architecture and policies are perfect, and the only thing that is missing is the name of the official announcement by the court."

Zhu Gaoyi took a sip of tea and said, "All of you here are important ministers of the state, please tell me when this day should be set."

Qin Tianjian stood up and bowed to him and said, "My minister, Qizuo, watched the sky last night and calculated the fortune. It is determined that April [-]rd is an auspicious day for the zodiac. There is no taboo."

Zhu Gaoyi frowned slightly: "I don't think April [-]rd should be considered an auspicious day."

Qin Tianjian was asking tentatively: "May I ask His Royal Highness, when is the auspicious day?"

Zhu Gaoxuan said lightly: "The ninth day of April is a good day."

Qin Tianjian said solemnly: "Your Highness is wise, I just want to say that the ninth day of April will return to the throne, and the world will be auspicious. It is the best time to move the capital."

Zhu Gaoxuan gave a thumbs up: This Qin Tianjian's supervisor is good and sensible.

How can there be any good days and auspicious days? The so-called good days and auspicious days are just the conclusions reached after exploring the thoughts of the superiors in the name of Qin Tianjian.

There is a great sage, Marquis Kongming, who is good at the times in ancient and modern times. Did he ever count on the heavy rain that wiped out the luck of the Han Dynasty?There is Liu Ji, a great scholar in Qingtian, did he ever think that he was hidden by all the birds?

Those who are good at observing words and colors, and who are sympathetic to superiors are the most adept at the right time in the world.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites got up and asked: "Since the establishment of the reserve, His Highness has only announced to the people, and has not yet offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple. The Ministry of Rites has also been dragging this matter down. I wonder when His Highness wants to perform the grand ceremony?"

Zhu Gaoxuan waved his hand and said: "This matter is not in a hurry. My personal matters are not as important as the national affairs. The state affairs in the first half of this year are busy, and the suzerain and vassal affairs have not yet come to an end. I have to settle the matter of moving the capital first. I'll talk about my own business after I'm done with this."

The Minister of Rites just wanted to say that it is not a trivial matter for the prince to offer sacrifices. If you become a prince, you must tell your ancestors in the mausoleum.

But when the words came to his lips, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites swallowed them back, and said instead: "Your Highness is dedicated to serving the public and disregarding his own life. It is really fair and righteous."

The previous Minister of Rites, Lu Zhen, was not a great talent, but he didn't make any big mistakes during his tenure, so he resigned from his old age and returned to his hometown inexplicably.

One emperor and one courtier, although the emperor has not been changed yet, it is just easy to store, but it is enough to change the court.The last prince, Zhu Gaochi, was cold, and so were the courtiers who followed him, even the officials of the Six Ministries.

So, it is very important to stand in a good team.

Sensible, more important.

In front of a wise and authoritarian person like Chu Jun, the people below will do what he says, and there is no mistake.

Zhu Gaoxuan said: "By the way, I said earlier that Su Wu, the chief envoy of Koryo Province, has made great achievements during his tenure. Now that the government affairs of Koryo Province are flourishing, Su Wugong is indispensable. How do you feel about transferring him back to the capital?"

In the past year in Koryo Province, Su Wu has built the system of Koryo Province into an impregnable wall, and he has done an outstanding job both economically and politically.

In the past, Zhu Gaoxuan had Su Wu as his secretary by his side, and he felt light in doing everything. Now that the Korea Provincial Affairs Office is doing well, he thought about calling Su Wu back.

Although Su Wu did a good job in other provinces, he was not as capable as he was in Beijing, and Zhu Gaoxuan also needed the assistance of such an all-around player.

Yang Rong asked, "The post of Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been vacant for a long time. With Su Wu's talent, he is completely qualified for this position. If he stays in Koryo Province to serve as the chief envoy, it will be a bit overkill... ...Well, these are all one-sided words of the minister, not serious, not serious."

Mr. Yang has been in charge of the cabinet for these years, and he has become more active and transparent.

In King Qi, um, working under His Royal Highness, Yang Rong can analyze what can and cannot be done, what should be done and how to do it, and he can do it in the most appropriate way.

Zhu Gaoxuan just said a word, and Yang Rong could guess what the superior wanted to express, and cleverly ticked off the chatterbox.

"As it should be."

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded slightly, and said, "Then let the cabinet draw up a draft first, and plan to transfer Su Wu back first. After all, it is the transfer of high-ranking officials from a province. Who should fill the vacant position later? The cabinet and the six ministries The officials of the government have a good discussion, so I won't ask too much, you will report it after you complete the charter, you type the report, and I will approve the note."

"promise."

……

After discussing various state affairs, Zhu Gaoyi breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his waist after all the officials in the Wenhua Palace had dispersed, "This day, the sum of the papers in the Wenhua Palace can run around Jinling City." After two laps, the old man exhausted me to death."

Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black, said with a smile on the side: "Doesn't this mean that His Majesty values ​​you highly? In the past, when King Gan supervised the country, His Majesty never delegated power like this."

"The old man went to Shuntian Mansion to enjoy Qingfu by himself, and left me here alone." Zhu Gaoyi sighed.

Fortunately, the old man still has a bit of conscience, so he left Yao Guangxiao to assist him, otherwise Zhu Gaoxuan was allowed to handle the state affairs alone, even if he was split in half, he would not be able to handle it.

In the huge Ming Empire, from the six ministries and the nine ministers, down to the prefectural and county yamen, all matters big and small were reported to the imperial court for handling, and even hard-nosed people couldn't bear it.

This also made Zhu Gaoxuan determined to reform the administration of officials. If the Ming system did not change, even if he raised the empire to the top of the mountain, within 30 years, the foundation underneath would be corrupted.

"The salt merchants in Lianghuai, the landlords in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the foreign merchants in Fujian, the customs in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the private mines in Yunnan, all of them are extremely rich, and all of them are dancing on the tip of their knives."

Zhu Gaoxuan sighed, "It's clearly exploiting the loopholes in the imperial government's policies, but he can fatten up his belly. Where did this fat come from? It's nothing more than stealing money from the people and the country. Now the capital of the country is in Jinling City. If the country moves its capital to the north, it will be even more dissolute if we can live with these young people."

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "This has been the truth since ancient times. The imperial court governs the imperial court, and the local government governs the local areas. In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty intended to get his hands on the local areas. In the end, the local governments smashed the bones, squeezed the marrow, and even peeled off the skin."

Zhu Gaoxuan asked: "It seems that the young master is quite experienced, can you explain the truth to me?"

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "Since ancient times, if you want to manage the local decentralization policy and collect taxes, the gentry must first pay the money. After the gentry pays the money, the people will follow suit. After the matter is completed, the money of the gentry will be returned in full. , [-] points."

Zhu Gaoxuan frowned slightly: "Why is it only [-]%?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "Seventy percent belongs to others, and thirty percent depends on his face."

"Look at whose face."

Yao Guangxiao pointed to the ground: "He."

The noble gentry are under pressure, and the court will not be able to collect taxes for 1 years.

Zhu Gaoyi smiled: "I became the supervisor, I became the prince, and I have not lost a single battle in the north and south. I have defeated all my opponents. It depends on his face? Am I not a beggar on my knees!"

Yao Guangxiao's eyes were sharp: "If you want to raise taxes, you can only do this. Just like this, how many people still can't collect taxes while kneeling."

"I have bad legs and feet, I can't kneel down!"

Zhu Gaoxuan patted it on the desk, "Isn't he just a little gentry, let him be dealt with!"

"I have to collect this tax!"
