My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 293

Huang Guan gave Xu Jingchang a vicious look, "No nonsense!"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes, and simply stopped talking.

Huang Guan was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking about it, and suddenly slapped his hands, which made Xu Jingchang tremble with fright.Huang Guan ignored his reproachful gaze, but said to himself: "You're right, I understand, I really understand. We have such a big court, the magnificent Ming Dynasty, we need something different, elegant Something, something out of the ordinary, something that goes down in the history books, something that gets a thumbs up when you mention it."

"This thing must not be the Qinhuai River! Absolutely not!"

Huang Guan's tone became more and more serious, categorical and uncompromising.

Moreover, his eyes became brighter and his attitude was firm, as if he had made a great determination.

Xu Jingchang's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively said worriedly: "Your old man won't do anything earth-shattering, will you? Can you tell me first, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

Huang Guan looked at Xu Jingchang with a smile, "Whatever you can't bear, it's all trivial things. I just thought about it for a while, and I'll talk about it later."

After speaking, Huang Guan turned and left directly.

Seeing the old father-in-law's back, Xu Jingchang became flustered.

He felt as if something bad was going to happen.

A person like Huang Guan is already a blockbuster if he doesn't sing.

For him to say that, there must have been an extraordinary astonishing move.

If the people in the court are panicked and all the officials are furious, then things will be troublesome.

There was no other way, Xu Jingchang had no choice but to find his wife, "I really just plan to build something like a theater, where I can listen to music and watch plays. You know, I don't have much pursuit, I only have three things."

"Three? Which three?"

"First, it is fishing. Although it is not convenient for me to go outside now, it is very simple to be able to fish at home. Second, I want to listen to music. I just listen to music and nothing else. Third, I still I plan to look at the stars, have the universe in my heart, and look up at the sky. I really only have these three requirements, and nothing else."

Xu Jingchang said: "Ma'am, you'd better persuade your father-in-law not to cause trouble. The Ministry of Rites is the most peaceful of all the yamen. If the Ministry of Rites is also in chaos, it will be troublesome."

Huang Yunfang listened carefully, and then said silently: "Duke really intends to listen to the music?"

"I can swear to God."

Huang Yunfang smiled, "I believe my father just wants to listen to the music, so there is no need to worry."

In an instant, Xu Jingchang was dumbfounded, and for a long while he didn't know what to say.

Huang Yunfang ignored him and lowered her head to sew clothes.

Children grow up fast, and their clothes become smaller after a short period of time. Being a mother has to be a little harder.

"Duke, I'm just taking care of the family's affairs now, and concentrate on being your good wife."

Xu Jingchang was helpless, "Madam is virtuous, I can't ask for more."

If Huang Guan couldn't keep his mouth shut, Xu Jingchang had no choice but to accept his fate, let's see what Huang Guan said!

A few days later, Zhu Di had planned to go to the Pantheon in the capital to pay homage to the virtuous officials of the past dynasties and encourage the courtiers to be loyal to their duties.

Before Zhu Di could speak, Huang Guan stood up

"Qizou Your Majesty, after thinking about it, I have to say something, and I have to say it."

Zhu Di smiled, and from Xu Jingchang's point of view, this person is also his relative, "Huang Qing's family, just speak freely."

Huang Guandao: "Your Majesty, I have pondered over and over for several days, and want to ask the lords of the court, what exactly do I want to leave behind? What do I want people to remember?"

Zhu Di asked curiously, "What does Huang Qing's family mean?"

Huang Guandao: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, dynasties have risen and fallen alternately. There is no court for a thousand years, and the strong and powerful Tang Dynasty will inevitably disappear. But what happened to the dynasties and dynasties is written in the history books and written in people's hearts."

"For example, the strong Han conquered the Xiongnu, enshrined the wolves as their vassals, and reined in the stone Yanran. For 400 years, the world was majestic and majestic, and the name of the Han people was left behind. Another example is the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The weather of the Tang Dynasty, all nations came to the dynasty, it is the peak of China, and it is arrogant. Siyi. Besides, in the Qin Dynasty, the Great Wall was built and straight roads were built. The Sui Dynasty also had the Grand Canal. The Song Dynasty’s Beijing was full of smoke and clouds, rich and prosperous..."

Huang Guan counted down all the way, then stared at the courtiers, and sighed: "Now it's time for me to write the history of Ming Dynasty. What do we want to leave for future generations? When we mention Ming Dynasty, what kind of thoughts do people have? Prosperity, or A vast territory? I agree with all of these. But as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, I hope that Daming will be different in many ways, be able to rule the arts and martial arts, be the best in the universe, and be able to dominate the world in all aspects."

Having said this, Huang Guan bowed deeply to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I have the courage to ask you for advice. Bianjing was prosperous in the Song Dynasty, and there were many famous prostitutes, talented scholars and beautiful ladies, which have been passed down through the ages. Is this good or bad?"

Zhu Di took a deep breath and looked at the officials.

"The prosperity of the Song Dynasty is indeed recalled by many people. But the Song Dynasty was cowardly and incompetent. Facing the barbarian cavalry, they were helpless. The mountains and rivers fell, and the country changed hands. They are guilty!"

Huang Guandao: "Your Majesty's words are very true. I think that in the land of the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the first good area, there are many people who have to sell themselves to make a living to please the dignitaries. It is said to be an elegant thing, a prosperous place. But it is also cannibalism. Flesh and blood, cruel and ruthless. I would like to ask my colleagues, is this the way of benevolence and forgiveness?"

The courtiers were stunned for a while, at this time Xia Yuanji said: "Huang Shangshu, it is really not in line with the way of benevolence and forgiveness that official prostitutes started from Guan Zhong."

Huang Guandao: "Then why has it been inherited in the past dynasties and has not been removed?"

Xia Yuanji said: "This matter can't be generalized. Official prostitutes can increase their annual income, and some family members of criminal officials need to be dealt with, so they will be inherited."

Huang Guan said proudly: "Then I want to ask Xia Shangshu, you said that in the capital of Ming Dynasty, there is such a Qinhuai River, with brothels on both sides, and painted boats on the river, is it suitable or not? Not only in the capital, but also in general, In the entire Ming Dynasty, under the rule of my Holy Son of Heaven, is such a place suitable for martyrdom?"

Xia Yuanji smiled helplessly: "Of course it's inappropriate, but it's not easy to abolish it easily."

Huang Guan said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the Qinhuai River, there are still many temples in the capital... Although the previous court has rectified, many monks and nuns have been abolished, and temples are not allowed to annex the land. But temples everywhere are still full of incense, and the people There is an endless stream. Three aunts and six wives, walking among the people, exploiting usury, abducting and selling children, entrapping innocent people..."

Huang Guan talked eloquently, talking about the widespread bad habits of the people, which have lasted for thousands of years and have not changed.

Although it is a matter of habit, taking it out and placing it on the table still makes people feel hot and feel ashamed.

Zhu Di coughed lightly, "Huang Shangshu, I know what you're talking about, do you have any ideas?"

Huang Guandao: "Your Majesty, I also know that there are many things that are deeply rooted and difficult to solve overnight. But I would like to ask Your Majesty to show an attitude. Right and wrong, black and white, good and evil, this is obvious. It is not difficult to judge. The court should have a Attitude, things that should be taken care of, must be taken care of, and when it's time to take action, you must take action. At least you can't turn a blind eye to the evil things that are right under your nose!"

Zhu Di was startled. Thinking about it carefully, his face even had a fever.

"What Huang Qing's family said is very true. There are indeed some things that have been passed down for thousands of years and have not changed. We all regard it as the right thing. This is not good, this is absolutely not good!"

Zhu Di looked around at the courtiers, and said in a loud voice: "The big guy must come up with a solution. I want to give an explanation to the people of the world. I also want to give an explanation to Qianqiu Qingshi. I dare not say that the bad government will be completely eradicated, but I want future generations to mention it. It is the cleanest and most innocent court."

Zhu Di was decisive, and Xu Jingchang knew it in his ears.

He also knew what the old father-in-law was going to do.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I think what Huang Shangshu said is a major matter of enlightenment, but it is not limited to enlightenment. It is about criminal names and laws, but it also has the meaning of correcting people's hearts and strengthening righteousness. All in all, there are still many old rules and bad habits in the world. For example, forcing women into prostitution, abducting and selling people, drowning female babies, eating out their families, bullying widows, adoring Taoism and Buddha... all kinds of unbearable things are difficult to generalize."

Xu Jingchang raised his head and said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, what Huang Shangshu meant is that all these messy things will be punished, and we must deal with them one by one. We must not turn a blind eye to it, or even indulge in it, and profit from it."

"That's right, Ding Guogong spoke very well. Then do you have any suggestions?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty wants to let the minister, and the minister dares to advise that this matter cannot be handled by one ministry, nor can it be resolved with a few government orders. Your Majesty needs to show full determination."

Zhu Di thought for a while, and finally nodded, "I understand."

After the discussion was over, Zhu Di left Huang Guan, Xu Jingchang, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji behind.

"Huang Shangshu's remonstrances are deafening. As the Son of Heaven, I naturally have to uphold righteousness and work hard to rectify those ills that are out of date. I intend to hand over this matter to Huang Qing's family, but in what name should I do it?" Deal with it, do you have any ideas?"

Zhu Di set his eyes on Jian Yi, "Jian Shangshu, what position do you think can surpass Shangshu?"

This time, Jian Yi couldn't do it anymore.

"Your Majesty, if you are higher than the Shangshu, you can only be the prime minister. In the current Ming Dynasty, you are the general administrator."

Should Xu Jingchang be responsible?
"Your Majesty, I have an idea. In fact, it is not only about this matter, but also military affairs, official administration, finance and taxation, criminal names... These are all important matters of the country. It needs to involve several ministries to work together to implement it smoothly. How about this, the cabinet and the six ministries Unity. All ministers who are in charge of a major government affairs will be given the title of first grade, named as a bachelor, supervise the government affairs, and together with the general government envoy, will directly report to His Majesty."

Zhu Di thought about it for a while, and said decisively: "In this case, Huang Guan, the Minister of Rites, will be added the title of Prince and Grand Master, and will be in charge of education matters."

Huang Guan quickly saluted and thanked God.

Zhu Di then said again: "Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, added the title of Shaofu, a scholar of the Palace of Honor, the general leader of the official style of government, and the selection and supervision of officials."

Jian Yi hurriedly said: "I thank the heavens."

"Shangshu Xia Yuanji of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Jiashaobao title, Bachelor of Huagaidian University, chief financial and tax household registration, commercial trade, treasury banknotes."

Xia Yuanji was also trembling, and knelt on the ground, "My emperor's grace, I will do my best!"
