Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king
Chapter 241 Yoyo, how come these people scolding me are all acquaintances?
Chapter 241 Yoyo, how come these people scolding me are all acquaintances? (Additional update for Mid-Autumn Festival)
Because the Ming Dynasty did not engage in colonization and really loved the barbarians like their own children.
Look at the West, people made money through colonization and formed primitive accumulation, but Ming Dynasty lost everything through colonization.
"Old lady, you seem to have made a mistake."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The larger the territory we expand, the more money we should make."
"how is this possible?"
Hu Xi was anxious, and took the Yongle Dynasty's taxes as an example. It can be said that there was a huge deficit every year, and it was only in the seventh year of Zhengtong that the deficit was barely paid off.
It took a full 17 years!
During the years when Cochin was recovered, almost no taxes were levied, but as a result, Cochin could not be saved.
"Old Master, I want to ask you a question. As we expand our territory, will the number of people increase?"
The courtier nodded.
"Then the taxes collected are too much, why do we lose money?"
Zhu Qiyu's question stunned the courtiers.
Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, just like the imperial dynasty regained Mobei, occupied a land, built a city, and built roads and connected rivers, it cost a huge amount of money."
"It will take many years to slowly recover the cost."
"Even if the local people are poor, our government will provide appropriate assistance and reduce taxes."
"In order to make them love the country, a lot of taxes must be reduced or reduced."
"It's all about using the money and food from the Central Plains to support the new land."
"It takes time to gain public support and develop new lands."
"And the number of people in the Central Plains is increasing, making it difficult for the money and food in the Central Plains to support the new land, and in the end we have to give up."
Listening to what Yu Qian said, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing.
The courtier has turned a corner.
Why treat them as adults?
If we exploit them as slaves, won’t the money come?
"Your Majesty, this is against the way of a saint!" Yao Kui whispered.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly: "Yao Qing, the way of saints is to educate the people, but are they my people?"
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly.
"But, what are the people of the Ming Dynasty?" Yao Kui asked.
There has never been a clear answer to this question.
From ancient times to the present, the Chinese have never regarded the Yi people as slaves, and there has never been a clear definition of their division.
When it comes to real division, we have to wait for the West to divide it by plates, skin color, and so-called ethnic groups.
Today's Ming Dynasty is inclusive, turning Hu into Han, and does not reject anyone who comes. Those who set foot on the land of Ming Dynasty are the people of Ming Dynasty. They do not look at appearance or geographical location, but language.
If we say the same thing, we are all from the same country.
Isn't it strange?
"Those who can speak Chinese, look similar to Ming people, and have a great Ming heart are the Ming people!"
Zhu Qiyu did not raise the skin color theory.
It is too early to bring it up now and has no value.
Even Samarkand is an outcast because the Mongols rule that land.
"Since they are not citizens of the Ming Dynasty, why do I pity them?"
"The teachings of Confucius and Saints do not apply to them."
"So I say, in the past, the Ming Dynasty regarded foreigners as human beings too much!"
"If you treat them like beasts, won't you get money?"
But the courtiers could not agree with Zhu Qiyu's words.
"Your Majesty's harsh laws may end in harshness."
"The Ming Dynasty can occupy these lands for a while, but not for a lifetime!"
Yue Zheng solemnly said: "Only by doing good can the barbarians return to their hearts and completely integrate into our enlightened people. This is the way for all generations."
"Yue Qing, in your opinion, the Ming Dynasty's territory is only a few inches and it is difficult to expand."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I also want to treat its people with kindness, slowly assimilate them, and completely turn their land into a place where Ming people can move."
"But the court has no money, what can I do?"
"Besides, don't you think it's ridiculous that humans and animals have more consciences?"
The Ming Dynasty sympathized with the Jurchens, but how did the Jurchens ravage the Central Plains in the end?
The Ming Dynasty was lenient to the Annan people, but how did Jiaozhi get lost?
The Ming Dynasty was as close to the vassal states as one family. How did the Tatars abandon the Ming Dynasty after the Qing Dynasty was established?
"This……"
Yue Zheng wanted to say, then why bother biting off more than you can chew?
Occupying Mobei and regaining Jiaozhi is enough. It is already a matter of civil and martial arts and restoration of the ancestral land.
Han people like to look at history, while Westerners like to look at the future.
"That's all, this is a digression. Let's get back to the issue of official administration."
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I think that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishments are the most useless, but they are indispensable."
"Why don't we demote two departments to the rank of division chief?"
"Save resources."
Many departments overlap and have overlapping functions, resulting in a waste of resources.
"Absolutely not!"
Hu Xi was anxious: "The important affairs of the country are military affairs and sacrifices. The Ministry of Rites is to persuade the people to follow the rituals; the Ministry of Punishments is to govern the law. The law is the most important thing and cannot be surrendered!"
Bai Gui and Yu Shiyue want to cry, are we stepmothers?
"There are also Taichang Temple, Shanglin Yuanjian, and Yuanma Temple. They are all useless departments!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "I plan to eliminate them all."
"Yuanma Temple merged into Taipu Temple, and Shanglin Yuanjian was changed into a bureau, which was also merged into Taipu Temple."
"Taichang Temple merged with the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment merged with Dali Temple."
The courtiers were dumbfounded.
The emperor is not reforming the official administration. He is trampling on the ancestral system under his feet.
I don't even know how to persuade.
"Your Majesty, Yuanma Temple can be integrated into Taipu Temple, and it can be abolished. Shanglin Garden supervises the royal garden. If it is abolished, who will be in charge of the garden?"
The cabbage, coriander, etc. that the emperor eats in winter are all grown by Shanglin Yuanjian.
"It's enough to set up a bureau. Abolish everything that should be eliminated. What's the point of hunting in Shanglinyuan?"
Zhu Qiyu said: "In the future, we will build a summer resort in Chengde. I will live in Chengde and go hunting on the grassland."
"Just merge it into Taipu Temple and save yourself the trouble."
I just know you have bad intentions.
We built a summer resort in Chengde with the land of Mobei in mind.
"Your Majesty, Taichang Temple must not be merged with the Ministry of Rites." Hu Ming said.
"Then let the Ministry of Rites be merged into Taichang Temple."
Bai Gui: Am I so unimportant?
"Your Majesty, you can reform the Ministry of Rites!"
Bai Gui kowtowed: "Your Majesty has created seven new departments, which can be merged into the Ministry of Rites."
"You are greedy."
Zhu Qiyu laughed and scolded: "There is indeed a conflict between the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple. The two Qing officials departments of ritual system and temple worship were merged into Taichang Temple."
"Taichang Temple must lay off people as appropriate and streamline the administration."
"The two Qing official divisions of Host and Guest and Jingshan will be merged into Guanglu Temple. Guanglu Temple will also lay off employees as appropriate."
Bai Gui's eyes suddenly bulged, there were only four officials in the Ministry of Rites, and you dismissed them all in one go.
What is left of the Ministry of Rites?
"The Department of Commerce, Department of Agriculture, Department of Zonglu, and Department of Jiaofang will be merged into the Ministry of Rites, and then a Department of Rites will be established, for a total of five departments."
"Add the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and transfer people from the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing. It is enough to leave only an empty position in Nanjing. There is no need to keep so many people."
"Taichang Temple and Guanglu Temple will lay off people without increasing them. Each will add two Qing officials. How to divide them specifically? The cabinet department will draw up a plan and decide it as soon as possible."
"The Siyi Pavilion was moved from Taichang Temple and placed in Honglu Temple."
"Honglu Temple has a Foreign Affairs Bureau, and Tiqi is under Honglu Temple."
This is to regard Honglu Temple as a completely independent diplomatic department.
The courtiers did not understand, what is the Foreign Affairs Bureau?
Zhu Qiyu explained that the Foreign Affairs Bureau trains spies and is responsible for foreign affairs.
Honglu Temple has completely become an institution for diplomacy and foreign language translation.
"Your Majesty, the Foreign Affairs Bureau doesn't sound good."
"It's better to call it the Imperial City Division and set it up under Honglu Temple."
"When the foreign envoys heard this, they thought they were just responsible for the intelligence of the imperial city."
Wang Fu suggested.
The Imperial City Division was the secret service agency of the Song Dynasty.
"Let's call it Imperial City Division and place it under Honglu Temple."
"Honglu Temple is fully responsible for diplomacy, foreign language translation, stationing envoys, dispatching envoys for exchanges and communication, etc. The Siyi Pavilion is also located under Honglu Temple."
"In addition, they are also responsible for espionage activities. The Imperial City Division is responsible for foreign spies. When attacking other countries, Honglu Temple must cooperate."
"Under Honglu Temple, there is another Lifan Yuan, which is responsible for handling special matters such as foreign affairs, ethnicity, religion, etc."
As a result, Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple were completely divided.
Taichang Temple is in charge of sacrifices and etiquette.
The Ministry of Etiquette became the department of agriculture, business education, and etiquette administration.
Each other's powers have also been expanded.
"Yuanma Temple was merged into Taipus Temple. Taipus Temple is responsible for the country's livestock. It is not limited to raising horses. Animals, poultry, birds and other creatures are all under the control of Taipus Temple."
Zhu Qiyu also expanded the authority of Taipu Temple.
"Everything in the various ministries and temples, such as the Taichang Temple Sacrifice and the various temples in Guanglu Temple, are all merged into Taipu Temple."
"There is only one slaughterhouse in Guanglu Temple, which is responsible for slaughtering animals."
"I want to set up another vegetation bureau, which will be responsible for planting and protecting trees, planting flowers and grass, and other things related to plants. All of them will be placed in Taipu Temple."
Taipu Temple is the animal and plant management center.
"Shanglinyuan Supervisor was also merged into Taipu Temple and turned into a bureau. As soon as the official position was demoted, the personnel should be eliminated."
Zhu Qiyu was also cruel to the royal gardens.
"As for the Ministry of Justice." Zhu Qiyu wanted to abolish it.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment cannot be abolished!" Yu Shiyue cried.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "The Department of Punishment and Justice was merged into the Ministry of Punishment, and the Department of Cleaning and Officials within the Ministry of Punishment was eliminated..."
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment cannot get rid of the Qing officials!"
Hu Xi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Department of Punishment and Punishment is in charge of the world's criminal affairs, and the Punishment Department is extremely important in the center."
In fact, from the beginning when Taizu established the Ministry of Punishment, the authority of the Ministry of Punishment has been continuously reduced.
Up to now, it is unclear whether it is different from the functions of Dali Temple.
The Three Law Divisions became a place of power struggle.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu has always disliked Yu Shiyue. What is the use of such a weak minister?
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Old Master, how many cases are there in the world? It's just the Hulu case, which case has been decided clearly?"
"What did the Ministry of Punishment do? What did Dali Temple do?"
"I am dissatisfied with the Ministry of Punishment for more than a day or two."
"The Ministry of Punishment must undergo major changes!"
"If it doesn't break, it won't stand."
"The Department of Cleaning Officials and the Department of Punishment and Punishment of the Ministry of Punishment were merged, and their functions were unified."
"Set up a legislative department to be responsible for revising laws. The Ming Dynasty Law will also be revised and new regulations will be added. It will be overhauled every ten years and minor revisions every three years."
"From the law, detailed laws and regulations are divided, such as criminal law, civil law, military law, etc."
"After practicing the Ming Dynasty Law, we must act in accordance with the Ming Dynasty Law. The whole country must act in accordance with the law!"
Revising branch laws is too trendy.
Even the courtiers don’t understand.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty are already very complete, why do we need to re-legislate them?
"Select talents who are proficient in law from all over the world to serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Justice and the chief officer of the Legislative Department."
"More detailed laws will be revised based on the jurisprudence from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties."
"Rupi Dharma Bone, I want to use this Dharma Bone again."
Zhu Qiyu is looking forward to the Legislative Division.
"Lu Yu in the cabinet is a talented person, especially good at law, so he is appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, responsible for refining the law."
Zhu Qiyu has been studying with Lu Yu for a long time.
The cabinet ministers did not object because Lu Yu was indeed proficient in the law.
"Establish a criminal decision-making department, and the final judgment on murder cases in the world will be decided by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs."
"In the future, the Ministry of Punishment will have three departments, the Criminal Investigation Department, the Legislative Department, and the Criminal Decision-making Department. The third department will be headed by the right minister, and a bureau will be set up under the third department."
"Set up another grievance center and allow people to come to the Ministry of Punishment to complain."
"At the same time, the Ministry of Punishment sends people to the people every year to investigate whether there are unjust cases. If they are found, they will be investigated and corrected in a timely manner, and the officials handling the case will be punished. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who deserve to be exiled will not be tolerated!"
Zhu Qiyu used the Ministry of Punishment as the highest law.
"From now on, the Criminal Department will not be responsible for specific cases."
"Specific cases are tried by Dali Temple, but the final decision, whether guilty or not, must be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment and stamped with the final seal before it can take effect."
"Kou Shen is not in the capital, Zhang Gu and Gong Yongji are not here either. The minister of Dali Temple is vacant. Zhou Xuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is transferred to the position of minister of Dali Temple."
"Li Zan, the chief envoy of Shandong Province, was transferred to the capital to serve as Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple; Zhou Hongmo, the assistant lecturer, was appointed Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
"Tune Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zanshan Liu Jun, Zuo Chunfang Si Zhilang Li Tai, Zuo Chunfang Kiyoshiro Gaocheng, and Bao Xiang to Dali Temple to serve as You Shaoqing."
"Dali Temple will set up an additional official department, and all the officials in the world will be under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple, and will be managed by the Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
This is clear authority.
Dali Temple is responsible for hearing and judging cases, while the Ministry of Punishment makes the highest decision-making.
Dali Temple's command of the local officials is actually responsible for the police.
"The functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate remain unchanged and are responsible for supervising the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and all officials in the world."
"Together with the Supervision Department and the Military Discipline Department, it is listed as the Five Law Departments."
Hu Bi frowned: "Your Majesty, why is this Military Discipline Department established?"
"Do you have any objections to the division of the Criminal Ministry, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Supervision Department?"
“The powers and responsibilities of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department must also be separated.”
Zhu Qiyu did not answer for the time being: "Both of them have the responsibility of supervising the pickets, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of the Xantai and has greater power."
"The main task of the Supervision Department is to supervise Dali Temple. The penal power of Dali Temple must be within the scope of the supervision of the Supervision Department."
“The first is regulatory legislation and law enforcement.”
"The second is to eradicate corruption. The Supervision Department can establish a Supervision Bureau to be responsible for eradicating corruption among officials all over the world."
"After the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate discovered the situation, he submitted it to the Supervision Department, which was responsible for eradicating corruption and cleaning up the officialdom."
The Supervision Department serves as the prosecutorial department.
At the same time, it gave the Metropolitan Procuratorate another way to exercise its powers.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate must report it to the emperor, who will send the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, etc. to assist in the investigation, which requires a long process.
But the emperor chose to delegate power to the Supervision Department and let the Supervision Department come forward to directly eliminate corruption.
"Your Majesty means that the five law divisions should supervise each other, assist each other, and cooperate in handling cases?" The court official understood.
However, in the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu established the Three Law Divisions, which caused the three Law Divisions to blame each other, and for a time the Three Law Divisions collapsed.
Zhu Qiyu's establishment of the Five Laws Division is likely to cause the scene in the early Ming Dynasty.
"The responsibilities of the five law divisions are clear, and they cannot shirk each other. Those who shirk each other will be removed from office and exiled." Zhu Qiyu added.
"Then let's talk about the Military Discipline Department."
"I plan to implement a unique system in the military."
“The Military Discipline Department is responsible for enforcing military discipline, military regulations, approving merit, etc.;”
"The Military Staff Department is responsible for selecting military officials and giving military officials a path for advancement;"
"Establish an infantry department, a cavalry department, a navy department, a construction bureau, a night-time bureau, a pier and platform bureau, etc."
"The Military Discipline Department takes orders from the Military Aircraft Department and is under my direct control."
"The remaining departments will be assigned to the Ministry of War."
The emperor held military power in his hands.
"The Ministry of War is newly included in the fourth division."
The court officials understood that the Military Discipline Department was the secret service agency in the military, a knife hanging over the Ministry of War.
"Your Majesty, can the Martial Arts Hall be merged into the Ministry of War?" Sun Yuanzhen asked.
"No."
Zhu Qiyu flatly refused: "I have other arrangements, but the Ministry of War can set up a new school. I have no restrictions."
"The Pedestrian Department was abolished and changed to the Guard Department, which is responsible for the palace guards and is affiliated with the Military Aircraft Department."
"The functions of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army remain unchanged. The Commander-in-Chief will join the Military Aircraft Department and serve as the Minister of Military Aircraft."
"Water transportation is important now."
"I plan to set up a transshipment department, which will have the Water Transport Department, the Salt Transportation Department, the Salt Class Lifting Department, and the Yi Delivery Department."
The voice fell.
Wang Hong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, water transportation, salt delivery, and postal delivery are all top priorities and should not be placed under one department."
The courtiers all nodded: "Your Majesty, we should act as independent ministers and should not hold each other hostage!"
"Then set up a transshipment department, merge the salt transshipment department and the water transport department into one, and be responsible for transshipment."
"The Post Delivery Department will be set up again, parallel to the Salt Class Lifting Department."
"What do you think, gentlemen?"
The courtier nodded.
"Just abolish the palace chief Shi Si and return it to the clan's palace."
"Official positions in the General's Mansion have been abolished and there will be no official positions."
"Then there's education."
"Set up the Department of Education, the Imperial College, the Lecture Hall, and the Tianxia Society, all under the control of the Department of Education. Under the Department of Education, an economics factory can be set up to be responsible for publishing."
"The status of the Hanlin Academy remains unchanged, and a library bureau, a history compilation bureau, and a classics factory will be added to be responsible for printing."
"My lords, what do you think of this change in the central government's administration?"
The courtiers didn't have many opinions.
Just a few more departments have been added, which has increased administrative costs.
But there are many benefits.
All increased power.
"The place also needs to be changed."
Zhu Qiyu considered it carefully and said: "I set up the governor, but when the world is leveled, it will naturally be revoked and returned to the original point."
"It turns out that the three departments of local chief envoys, capital commander envoys and criminal envoys are in charge of power."
"But in reality, power rests with the governor and the guarding eunuch."
"Anyway, the Third Division has become an empty frame, so why not completely change it."
Don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty.
The governor is only a temporary appointment and has no specific official position.
The ministers were about to persuade.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "In the future, each province will have a governor to be responsible for administration and justice. The power of envoys and punishments will be vested in the governor."
"Governors are appointed by the central government, and those with both ability and political integrity should be appointed."
"Each province has a fixed governor, and when encountering special circumstances, a deputy governor can be added."
"If there is a war, the governor can grant military powers, and Jin will be the governor, which is the collective name of the governor and governor."
"The palace assigns guarding eunuchs, but the guarding eunuchs do not participate in administration or military affairs. They are only responsible for supervision and reporting to the central government. Only when they receive the imperial decree can they mobilize troops."
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department regularly dispatch envoys to patrol the country."
"The functions of the capital command department remain unchanged. The capital commanders are in charge of the military affairs in the province. When the guards and soldiers are merged into the army, the general military control system is established. The capital commanders have no authority to mobilize the troops with military numbers to prepare the Japanese army, the canal protection army and other armies. , all commanders and envoys have no right to mobilize."
The emperor was on the defensive and ordered his envoys to lead the people to rebel.
Therefore, there is no general army. During wartime, an imperial edict is issued to establish a general army. After the army is disbanded, the general army is automatically cancelled.
The guard system is still implemented.
"The Guard Command Department and Qianhu Station remain unchanged."
"The Military Discipline Department regularly dispatches military discipline envoys to inspect the guard posts and are responsible for inspecting military discipline."
It turns out that the Military Discipline Department does the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
The courtiers understood this time.
The emperor used the Department of Military Discipline to seize local military power.
"There is one more thing I want to discuss with you."
Zhu Qiyu said: "I plan to abolish the Xuanwei Department, Xuanfu Department, Appeasement Department and other official positions..."
"Your Majesty, do you want the barbarians to know the court's plans?" Hu Hu was a little speechless.
"These departments cost a lot of money and are worthless. I want to cancel them." Zhu Qiyu said weakly.
"Your Majesty, it's a waste of time. When the melons are ripe and the stems fall, it will be the time for the court to harvest the fruits. The benefits will be greater than the investment." Hu Hui said.
Zhu Qiyu felt that this nominal rule was completely meaningless.
It would be better to remove the useless ones such as the Xuanwei Department and leave the Recruitment Department.
"That's all. If you don't want to withdraw, we won't withdraw, but the funding will be halved." Zhu Qiyu did not discuss it: "The discussion on official governance ends here."
"We will draw up specific provisions for dividing the cabinet departments and then discuss them in detail."
"The big framework is set, and you decide the rest."
It is expected that the administrative reform will take half a year to complete.
Basically there are no major changes, just clear responsibilities and precise divisions.
Then some departments were added and some talents were selected to join Beijing.
Most importantly, the powers of various departments have been expanded.
So the courtiers were very satisfied.
"Your Majesty, Nanjing will also change in accordance with the direction of the central government?" Hu Hu asked.
"All ministries in Nanjing were appropriately abolished, useful departments were retained, and useless ones were merged into Northern Zhili." Zhu Qiyu was lowering the status of Southern Zhili.
Prepare for future splitting into provinces.
The long court meeting was finally over.
After the court, Zhu Qiyu drank ginseng tea first. He was really tired.
Sit on the dragon chair and rest for a while.
Take the sedan chair to Xihua Gate.
Outside Xihua Gate, there were nearly three thousand literati, some of whom were forcibly recruited by the court, and some of whom admired the collection of books in the capital and threw themselves into the trap.
Some did scold the emperor, but most of them were implicated and innocent.
Factory guards are still arresting people and sending them to Xihuamen.
Some were very innocent. They were caught while sleeping and sent outside the Xihua Gate. They were not allowed to cry out for injustice, so they were allowed to kneel quietly.
I had been kneeling all night, feeling cold and scared, and my whole body was miserable.
Those who were arrested after dawn were frightened when they saw Tang Yinji and other talented people hanging on the Meridian Gate.
creak!creak!
Xihua Gate opens.
The imperial chariot walked out of the Xihua Gate, and the horse-breeding regiments protected the imperial chariot.
Zhu Qiyu stood on the royal chariot and looked down at the scholar: "Are you just you guys? Are you scolding me outside the palace every day?"
The first sentence is a thunderous strike!
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is wronged!"
Li Jie crawled out and burst into tears: "Wei Chen is unjust. Wei Chen was brought here when he was in the guild hall!"
Zhu Qiyu frowned and said, "Li Jie?"
"I asked you why you weren't on duty, so you were kneeling here."
"How does the cold wind feel?"
Li Jie burst into tears.
Just Chen He's voice implicated him.
"Injustice!"
Many people cried out that they were wronged.
Zhu Qiyu saw that he had many acquaintances.
For example, Sun Yuanzhen's son Sun Kefa, Nian Fu's son Nian Lianzhi, and even Mao Sheng's youngest son Mao Wei and Yang Jun.
There are also promising talents in the clan, including several people named Zhu, and King Jing is among them.
"What a guy!"
Zhu Qiyu was shocked when he saw it: "King Jing, are you also scolding me behind my back?"
King Jing cried loudly: "Your Majesty, that Fan Qing looks at Wei Chen like a fly looking at a rotten egg. He insists on staring at Wei Chen! You are wronging Wei Chen!"
He describes himself as a rotten egg but also a talent.
"Wei Chen is the same, Your Majesty, please let us make the decision for Wei Chen and others!" Everyone in the clan screamed, it was really unfair.
No matter how much hatred they have in their hearts, do they dare to express it openly?
Li Jie and others cried endlessly.
Zhu Qiyu found another interesting person in the crowd: "You, don't shrink back, I saw you, Zhang Fuhua!"
Zhang Fuhua covered his face with his clothes, unable to afford to embarrass this person.
"Your Majesty, the students have been wronged!"
Zhang Fuhua cried like a fool: "Weichen is drunk, and he is here when he wakes up!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't believe his lies.
"Anyone who recognizes me, please come out and let me see you!"
Zhu Qiyu really opened his eyes. These things are one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes.
"Qian Pu, where else are you hiding?"
From a distance, Zhu Qiyu saw Qian Pu huddled in the crowd.
"His Majesty!"
Qian Pu was really unjustly accused. When he was taking a bath, he was dressed as a scholar and admired the lanterns, but he was arrested by Fan Zi.
"Climb over here. I can't see you from a distance."
Zhu Qiyu looked around: "Everyone raise their heads and let me see. You have done everything. Are you still afraid of others looking at you?"
"Everyone raise their heads, let me see what talents there are. They are people on the outside but ghosts on the outside!"
There is a eunuch in the back who is passing the message, and the people kneeling at the back can hear it.
The eunuchs also helped the emperor find it.
The literati raised their heads.
This time, I found an acquaintance again.
"Chen Fu, does your father Chen Huai know that you are scolding me behind my back?"
Chen Fu is the son of Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai.
He burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I am so unjust!"
"Zhao Ying, can your father Zhao An rest in peace in heaven?"
Zhao An was a famous general in the northwest. He died in the ninth year of Zhengtong.
Zhu Qiyu set up a martial arts lecture hall and recruited the sons of meritorious ministers into the martial arts lecture hall, hoping that the sons would inherit their father's legacy.
Zhao Ying was specially recruited.
"Yang Yan, your father Yang Ning is 94 years old, and he is still running around Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty!"
"what are you doing?"
"How old are you this year? Are you still fooling around?"
Zhu Qiyu saw an acquaintance again: "I have favored you as an official, but you don't want to make progress and associate with those who scold me. Is this how you repay me?"
Yang Yan's father, Yang Ning, is also a famous minister and general.
Because of his foot disease, he had been unable to move for a long time, but because he was familiar with Yunnan and participated in the expedition to Luchuan.
When Wang Wen goes to Yunnan, he needs someone who understands Yunnan to control the situation.
When Zhu Qiyu recruited him, without saying a word, he was carried on a stretcher and followed Wang Wen to Yunnan to cheer for Wang Wen.
As a result, his son did not want to make progress, but he mailed it in the guild hall.
A tiger father and a dog son, just right.
"Shi Yun, where are you hiding?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at him: "Your grandfather Shi Zhao was a famous general. He guarded Ningxia for 14 years and was unparalleled. Is this how you honor your ancestors?"
Shi Zhao has been guarding Liangzhou since the eighth year of Yongle.
Beginning in the eighth year of Xuande's reign, he guarded Ningxia for 14 years. He was so famous that the barbarians did not dare to compare with him, and he fell in the ninth year of Zhengtong.
Zhu Qiyu remembered his grandfather's contribution and specially ordered Shi Yun to enter the martial arts hall.
Give him a chance to get ahead.
It turned out good.
People just want to be like a puddle of mud.
"Ma Zhong, where to hide!"
"Uncle Zhaoyuan, do you associate with these people?"
"Disgrace your grandfather Ma Liang?"
"is not it!"
Zhao Ying, Chen Fu, Ma Zhong, and Shi Yun are really like each other.
"Let me take another look, which loyal minister and filial son is still here?"
Zhu Qiyu was suddenly surprised: "Ah? Isn't this Uncle An Xiang? You are a martial artist and you also participate in poetry gatherings? Do you know the calligraphy?"
Anxiang Bo Zhang Ning.
His father, Zhang An, was defeated by bandits when he was guarding Guangzhou in the 13th year of Zhengtong. Zhang An fell into the river and drowned while escaping.
Zhang Ning is not as good as his father Zhang An, he is just a piece of trash.
Two generations of waste were really rare during the Jingtai period.
The first Anxiang Bo was named Zhang Xing by Emperor Taizong. After Zhang Xing died in battle, he had no sons, and the title was inherited by his nephew Zhang Yong.
Zhang Xing and Zhang Yong are both brave generals.
Zhang Ning lowered his head and blushed.
"What an embarrassment to your grandpa and great-grandpa!"
"I don't even want to say anything about you. Two generations of your family are useless. I should take back the coupons and let you dig out the shit!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to look at him: "Hey, the person fooling around with Uncle Anxiang turns out to be Uncle Wu Jin!"
"Which kind of trash do I think he is? Can he be with these people?"
"It turns out it's you, the loser!"
"That's not surprising." Zhu Qiyu scolded them.
Wu Jin's uncle Zhu Fu, his father was Zhu Mian.
Zhu Mian was not only able to fight wars himself, but also recommended many talented people.
Zhu Fu lowered his head.
"What a hero your father Zhu Mian is? He died as a martyr in the battle of Tumubao!"
Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "Look at you again, eating and waiting to die, you are worse than a dog!"
"I see that your surname is Zhu, and you have the same surname as mine. I am ashamed of you!"
"Why don't you change your surname? Don't abuse the surname Zhu. Your father and I will be ashamed of you."
Zhu Mian's children and grandchildren were all useless.
Five sons and fifteen grandsons are all embarrassed.
"Let me see, who are fooling around with these two useless snacks? Look up!"
"Uncle Guang En? Is that you?"
Zhu Qiyu did not take it lightly: "Climb over here and let me take a look!"
Liu Kai crawled over and raised his head.
The father of Guang Enbo Liu Kai was Liu Cai. He was not a famous general, but he had good vision and invested in Emperor Taizong and was awarded a title.
"You two are so well matched. You are all useless snacks that embarrass my father and grandfather. No wonder you can chat together!"
"Did you scold me a lot behind your back?"
"Are you scolding me for not using you?"
"what?"
"I handed over the army to you. Will you lose the army? Then come back and report to me that you are lost?"
Zhu Qiyu said that he was very happy: "Who is that next to you? What kind of waste? Sign up yourself!"
"Weak minister Fu Changbo!" Fang Tongda replied.
"It turns out it's you, you loser! There's nothing wrong with that!"
"Look at you four, how well-matched you are!"
"It's a good match for the four of you Zhao Ying. The eight of you should get together every day. You are all trash. You must have a lot in common."
"My heroic son, Bear, is talking about you!"
"My father and grandfather's face has been completely shamed by you!"
"I am ashamed of you all!"
"Next time when you pay homage to your father and ancestors, take my words with you. You are not worthy of being the descendants of heroes!"
"Look at your fathers and grandfathers, how heroic they are!"
"Zhang Xing and Zhang Yong were not afraid of battle or hardship. They fought bloody and died of exhaustion!"
"Zhu Mian, what a hero! With his merits, he was promoted to the Martial Arts Council! He died in the Tumu Fort, what a heroic hero!"
"Liu Cai! He is a shameless man who doesn't commit adultery and doesn't try to destroy others! How can he be worthy of respect?"
"Fang Sheng! Conquered the south and conquered the north, and made many military exploits!"
"Look at you again, I want to beat you to death!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted sharply: "Kneel down and go aside, I will deal with you properly later!"
"Everyone, raise your heads and let me see who are the great sages of the country?"
"Why do I think you look familiar?"
"You! It's you!"
"Climb over here and let me take a look!"
The man crawled over slowly, with tears streaming down his face: "See Your Majesty."
"Hey, isn't this Xue Xuan's disciple Liu Jian?"
Zhu Qiyu had noticed him a long time ago, but he never saw him clearly: "Tsk, tsk, your master has recommended you to me several times."
"You know what?"
"You are said to have unparalleled talents and be an able minister in governing the world."
"But I didn't expect that I would see you here."
"What a capable minister. From what I see, you are really capable."
Liu Jian, a world-famous minister.
Liu Jian was Du Ruhui in the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the students have been wronged!"
Liu Jian was Xue Xuan's disciple. When Xue Xuan entered the palace, he often took Liu Jian with him, so the emperor knew him.
"The student was studying hard in the inn, and he was caught by the Jin Yiwei!"
Liu Jian burst into tears: "The students have been wronged!"
"Studying hard? The Lantern Festival is so lively, how can you endure being lonely and studying hard in an inn?" Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it.
Liu Jian likes to travel and rarely stays home all year round.
read more, walk more.
Zhu Qiyu didn't know whether he had read thousands of books. He must have traveled thousands of miles.
"The student is really studying hard! The student's senior brother can testify!"
Liu Jian sold his senior brother.
His senior brother Bai Liangsuke.
Bai Liangfu was Liu Jian's fellow villager. Bai Liangfu first became a disciple of Xue Xuan, and later recommended Liu Jian, and he was regarded as Liu Jian's guide.
"Your Majesty, the students and others are really studying hard at the inn and working hard this spring!"
I had fun with Zhu Qiyu, who would believe it?
You two are going to travel to famous mountains and rivers. I believe you are going to study hard. If you are willing to spend half of your IQ on studying, you can become a top scholar.
“I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I’m shocked when I see it!”
"Why is everyone in the world scolding me?"
"I just want to ask, why?"
"How have I ever failed the world?"
Zhu Qiyu stopped smiling: "Who can tell me? Why?"
Suddenly, furious.
The emperor didn't know anyone. Most of their connections were limited to one place, but they were not ordinary people.
Otherwise, I would not have gone to Beijing to prepare for exams or study.
Basically they all came from noble families.
"you!"
Zhu Qiyu pointed casually: "Say!"
"Your Majesty, students don't dare to slander Your Majesty, I really don't!"
Who dares to say so?
The named literati really vomited blood and was upset.
"I want to listen to the truth!"
"Even if you scold me and you have valid reasons, I will listen and I won't punish you."
"You will even be allowed to participate in next year's encore and serve as censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"I am not a cruel king, but an emperor who likes to hear the truth."
Zhu Qiyu looked around at everyone: "The person who said it first, I allow you to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the censor."
Someone was moved.
It is not a bad thing to be able to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate with this.
A scholar climbed out and kowtowed: "Students have something to say!"
"What's your name?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Student Jingtai was elected in the fourth year, Min Gui." The scholar gritted his teeth and said.
Zhu Qiyu looked at him. He was very young, estimated to be in his twenties.
Courage is not small.
How dare you take his words.
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu gave him a chance.
"Your Majesty, the scholars gathered together to slander Your Majesty. The students think that there are three reasons!"
Min Gui speaks clearly and shows no fear when speaking in public:
"First, His Majesty's rule was very vigorous. The literati were conservative and could not accept new things. They were even more worried that new things would offend their inherent interests, so the public response was huge."
"Secondly, His Majesty's rule involves the vital interests of the literati, so His Majesty is reviled."
"Thirdly, Your Majesty likes to use eagles and dogs to control the powerful, and to make people in the world to eat like dogs. This is the reason why people are excited."
"A student is just a scholar, and does not understand government affairs, but he has great ambitions in mind. Therefore, I advise your majesty to speak widely and listen to others. If you listen, you will be clear and if you believe, you will be secret. Please don't be guilty of any words."
Min Gui bowed to the ground.
Is this guy's mouth full of shit?
The literati were scolded, the emperor was scolded, and everyone in the world was scolded.
This is a geek, a crazy geek seeking death.
Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
The literati were all waiting for the emperor to be furious, waiting for the emperor to break his promise and get rich.
Min Gui almost slapped the emperor in the face and called you a fool.
"Hahaha!"
As a result, Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly: "Min Gui, I violated the interests of the literati, so the literati scolded me."
"Then have I violated your interests? Why do you want to scold me?"
Min Gui was stunned: "Students do not dare to insult His Majesty. They are just admonishing. Your Majesty, please think again."
This is a tough character.
Dance with your life on the tip of the knife.
Zhu Qiyu asked: "Tell me, what interests have I violated against the literati?"
Min Gui was happy and undaunted, and said calmly: "Your Majesty let the students, and the students said that there are three reasons for violating your Majesty's interests."
"First, by opening up the imperial examination system, some people who blocked the way to express themselves became angry and frustrated."
"Secondly, Your Majesty wants to recruit the families of hundreds of officials from all over the world to serve in the capital. People in the world study just to be officials. Who is willing to put their family members in the tiger's mouth?"
"Thirdly, His Majesty values military affairs over literature, so he is disliked by the literati."
Min Gui has such a bold mouth!
Even Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to say this.
Min Gui once promoted people, but he pointed out the ills of the times and hit the point every sentence.
The imperial examination is not something that should be taken every year.
The fewer Jinshi, the more valuable it is.
This is a well-established rule, a circle of interests that everyone is protecting.
Zhu Qiyu made great efforts to allow literati to easily ascend to the throne, but at the same time, the risks for officials also increased, and there was a sharp sword hanging over the official's head.
Because the emperor can kill people at will, and if he kills this official, a large number of officials will come to replace him, and the official becomes very dangerous.
Do you think the courtiers don’t know that the literati are scolding the emperor?
Of course I know, and I even contribute to it.
And Zhu Qiyu forcibly recruited hundreds of officials and their families to come to Beijing. This was the trigger for the outburst of criticism, but it was not the fundamental reason.
The fundamental reason is that military force is emphasized over literature.
The emperor valued generals and constantly improved their status.
The civilian officials brought by Yang Shiqi suppressed the nobles, and the situation of civilian dominance was completely ruined. Therefore, opposition from civilian officials continued one after another.
The strength of the civil service lies in the fact that it is a regiment.
The emperor poked a hole, which naturally aroused a wave of opposition.

(End of this chapter)
Because the Ming Dynasty did not engage in colonization and really loved the barbarians like their own children.
Look at the West, people made money through colonization and formed primitive accumulation, but Ming Dynasty lost everything through colonization.
"Old lady, you seem to have made a mistake."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The larger the territory we expand, the more money we should make."
"how is this possible?"
Hu Xi was anxious, and took the Yongle Dynasty's taxes as an example. It can be said that there was a huge deficit every year, and it was only in the seventh year of Zhengtong that the deficit was barely paid off.
It took a full 17 years!
During the years when Cochin was recovered, almost no taxes were levied, but as a result, Cochin could not be saved.
"Old Master, I want to ask you a question. As we expand our territory, will the number of people increase?"
The courtier nodded.
"Then the taxes collected are too much, why do we lose money?"
Zhu Qiyu's question stunned the courtiers.
Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, just like the imperial dynasty regained Mobei, occupied a land, built a city, and built roads and connected rivers, it cost a huge amount of money."
"It will take many years to slowly recover the cost."
"Even if the local people are poor, our government will provide appropriate assistance and reduce taxes."
"In order to make them love the country, a lot of taxes must be reduced or reduced."
"It's all about using the money and food from the Central Plains to support the new land."
"It takes time to gain public support and develop new lands."
"And the number of people in the Central Plains is increasing, making it difficult for the money and food in the Central Plains to support the new land, and in the end we have to give up."
Listening to what Yu Qian said, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing.
The courtier has turned a corner.
Why treat them as adults?
If we exploit them as slaves, won’t the money come?
"Your Majesty, this is against the way of a saint!" Yao Kui whispered.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly: "Yao Qing, the way of saints is to educate the people, but are they my people?"
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly.
"But, what are the people of the Ming Dynasty?" Yao Kui asked.
There has never been a clear answer to this question.
From ancient times to the present, the Chinese have never regarded the Yi people as slaves, and there has never been a clear definition of their division.
When it comes to real division, we have to wait for the West to divide it by plates, skin color, and so-called ethnic groups.
Today's Ming Dynasty is inclusive, turning Hu into Han, and does not reject anyone who comes. Those who set foot on the land of Ming Dynasty are the people of Ming Dynasty. They do not look at appearance or geographical location, but language.
If we say the same thing, we are all from the same country.
Isn't it strange?
"Those who can speak Chinese, look similar to Ming people, and have a great Ming heart are the Ming people!"
Zhu Qiyu did not raise the skin color theory.
It is too early to bring it up now and has no value.
Even Samarkand is an outcast because the Mongols rule that land.
"Since they are not citizens of the Ming Dynasty, why do I pity them?"
"The teachings of Confucius and Saints do not apply to them."
"So I say, in the past, the Ming Dynasty regarded foreigners as human beings too much!"
"If you treat them like beasts, won't you get money?"
But the courtiers could not agree with Zhu Qiyu's words.
"Your Majesty's harsh laws may end in harshness."
"The Ming Dynasty can occupy these lands for a while, but not for a lifetime!"
Yue Zheng solemnly said: "Only by doing good can the barbarians return to their hearts and completely integrate into our enlightened people. This is the way for all generations."
"Yue Qing, in your opinion, the Ming Dynasty's territory is only a few inches and it is difficult to expand."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I also want to treat its people with kindness, slowly assimilate them, and completely turn their land into a place where Ming people can move."
"But the court has no money, what can I do?"
"Besides, don't you think it's ridiculous that humans and animals have more consciences?"
The Ming Dynasty sympathized with the Jurchens, but how did the Jurchens ravage the Central Plains in the end?
The Ming Dynasty was lenient to the Annan people, but how did Jiaozhi get lost?
The Ming Dynasty was as close to the vassal states as one family. How did the Tatars abandon the Ming Dynasty after the Qing Dynasty was established?
"This……"
Yue Zheng wanted to say, then why bother biting off more than you can chew?
Occupying Mobei and regaining Jiaozhi is enough. It is already a matter of civil and martial arts and restoration of the ancestral land.
Han people like to look at history, while Westerners like to look at the future.
"That's all, this is a digression. Let's get back to the issue of official administration."
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I think that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishments are the most useless, but they are indispensable."
"Why don't we demote two departments to the rank of division chief?"
"Save resources."
Many departments overlap and have overlapping functions, resulting in a waste of resources.
"Absolutely not!"
Hu Xi was anxious: "The important affairs of the country are military affairs and sacrifices. The Ministry of Rites is to persuade the people to follow the rituals; the Ministry of Punishments is to govern the law. The law is the most important thing and cannot be surrendered!"
Bai Gui and Yu Shiyue want to cry, are we stepmothers?
"There are also Taichang Temple, Shanglin Yuanjian, and Yuanma Temple. They are all useless departments!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "I plan to eliminate them all."
"Yuanma Temple merged into Taipu Temple, and Shanglin Yuanjian was changed into a bureau, which was also merged into Taipu Temple."
"Taichang Temple merged with the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment merged with Dali Temple."
The courtiers were dumbfounded.
The emperor is not reforming the official administration. He is trampling on the ancestral system under his feet.
I don't even know how to persuade.
"Your Majesty, Yuanma Temple can be integrated into Taipu Temple, and it can be abolished. Shanglin Garden supervises the royal garden. If it is abolished, who will be in charge of the garden?"
The cabbage, coriander, etc. that the emperor eats in winter are all grown by Shanglin Yuanjian.
"It's enough to set up a bureau. Abolish everything that should be eliminated. What's the point of hunting in Shanglinyuan?"
Zhu Qiyu said: "In the future, we will build a summer resort in Chengde. I will live in Chengde and go hunting on the grassland."
"Just merge it into Taipu Temple and save yourself the trouble."
I just know you have bad intentions.
We built a summer resort in Chengde with the land of Mobei in mind.
"Your Majesty, Taichang Temple must not be merged with the Ministry of Rites." Hu Ming said.
"Then let the Ministry of Rites be merged into Taichang Temple."
Bai Gui: Am I so unimportant?
"Your Majesty, you can reform the Ministry of Rites!"
Bai Gui kowtowed: "Your Majesty has created seven new departments, which can be merged into the Ministry of Rites."
"You are greedy."
Zhu Qiyu laughed and scolded: "There is indeed a conflict between the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple. The two Qing officials departments of ritual system and temple worship were merged into Taichang Temple."
"Taichang Temple must lay off people as appropriate and streamline the administration."
"The two Qing official divisions of Host and Guest and Jingshan will be merged into Guanglu Temple. Guanglu Temple will also lay off employees as appropriate."
Bai Gui's eyes suddenly bulged, there were only four officials in the Ministry of Rites, and you dismissed them all in one go.
What is left of the Ministry of Rites?
"The Department of Commerce, Department of Agriculture, Department of Zonglu, and Department of Jiaofang will be merged into the Ministry of Rites, and then a Department of Rites will be established, for a total of five departments."
"Add the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and transfer people from the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing. It is enough to leave only an empty position in Nanjing. There is no need to keep so many people."
"Taichang Temple and Guanglu Temple will lay off people without increasing them. Each will add two Qing officials. How to divide them specifically? The cabinet department will draw up a plan and decide it as soon as possible."
"The Siyi Pavilion was moved from Taichang Temple and placed in Honglu Temple."
"Honglu Temple has a Foreign Affairs Bureau, and Tiqi is under Honglu Temple."
This is to regard Honglu Temple as a completely independent diplomatic department.
The courtiers did not understand, what is the Foreign Affairs Bureau?
Zhu Qiyu explained that the Foreign Affairs Bureau trains spies and is responsible for foreign affairs.
Honglu Temple has completely become an institution for diplomacy and foreign language translation.
"Your Majesty, the Foreign Affairs Bureau doesn't sound good."
"It's better to call it the Imperial City Division and set it up under Honglu Temple."
"When the foreign envoys heard this, they thought they were just responsible for the intelligence of the imperial city."
Wang Fu suggested.
The Imperial City Division was the secret service agency of the Song Dynasty.
"Let's call it Imperial City Division and place it under Honglu Temple."
"Honglu Temple is fully responsible for diplomacy, foreign language translation, stationing envoys, dispatching envoys for exchanges and communication, etc. The Siyi Pavilion is also located under Honglu Temple."
"In addition, they are also responsible for espionage activities. The Imperial City Division is responsible for foreign spies. When attacking other countries, Honglu Temple must cooperate."
"Under Honglu Temple, there is another Lifan Yuan, which is responsible for handling special matters such as foreign affairs, ethnicity, religion, etc."
As a result, Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple were completely divided.
Taichang Temple is in charge of sacrifices and etiquette.
The Ministry of Etiquette became the department of agriculture, business education, and etiquette administration.
Each other's powers have also been expanded.
"Yuanma Temple was merged into Taipus Temple. Taipus Temple is responsible for the country's livestock. It is not limited to raising horses. Animals, poultry, birds and other creatures are all under the control of Taipus Temple."
Zhu Qiyu also expanded the authority of Taipu Temple.
"Everything in the various ministries and temples, such as the Taichang Temple Sacrifice and the various temples in Guanglu Temple, are all merged into Taipu Temple."
"There is only one slaughterhouse in Guanglu Temple, which is responsible for slaughtering animals."
"I want to set up another vegetation bureau, which will be responsible for planting and protecting trees, planting flowers and grass, and other things related to plants. All of them will be placed in Taipu Temple."
Taipu Temple is the animal and plant management center.
"Shanglinyuan Supervisor was also merged into Taipu Temple and turned into a bureau. As soon as the official position was demoted, the personnel should be eliminated."
Zhu Qiyu was also cruel to the royal gardens.
"As for the Ministry of Justice." Zhu Qiyu wanted to abolish it.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment cannot be abolished!" Yu Shiyue cried.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "The Department of Punishment and Justice was merged into the Ministry of Punishment, and the Department of Cleaning and Officials within the Ministry of Punishment was eliminated..."
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment cannot get rid of the Qing officials!"
Hu Xi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Department of Punishment and Punishment is in charge of the world's criminal affairs, and the Punishment Department is extremely important in the center."
In fact, from the beginning when Taizu established the Ministry of Punishment, the authority of the Ministry of Punishment has been continuously reduced.
Up to now, it is unclear whether it is different from the functions of Dali Temple.
The Three Law Divisions became a place of power struggle.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu has always disliked Yu Shiyue. What is the use of such a weak minister?
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Old Master, how many cases are there in the world? It's just the Hulu case, which case has been decided clearly?"
"What did the Ministry of Punishment do? What did Dali Temple do?"
"I am dissatisfied with the Ministry of Punishment for more than a day or two."
"The Ministry of Punishment must undergo major changes!"
"If it doesn't break, it won't stand."
"The Department of Cleaning Officials and the Department of Punishment and Punishment of the Ministry of Punishment were merged, and their functions were unified."
"Set up a legislative department to be responsible for revising laws. The Ming Dynasty Law will also be revised and new regulations will be added. It will be overhauled every ten years and minor revisions every three years."
"From the law, detailed laws and regulations are divided, such as criminal law, civil law, military law, etc."
"After practicing the Ming Dynasty Law, we must act in accordance with the Ming Dynasty Law. The whole country must act in accordance with the law!"
Revising branch laws is too trendy.
Even the courtiers don’t understand.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty are already very complete, why do we need to re-legislate them?
"Select talents who are proficient in law from all over the world to serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Justice and the chief officer of the Legislative Department."
"More detailed laws will be revised based on the jurisprudence from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties."
"Rupi Dharma Bone, I want to use this Dharma Bone again."
Zhu Qiyu is looking forward to the Legislative Division.
"Lu Yu in the cabinet is a talented person, especially good at law, so he is appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, responsible for refining the law."
Zhu Qiyu has been studying with Lu Yu for a long time.
The cabinet ministers did not object because Lu Yu was indeed proficient in the law.
"Establish a criminal decision-making department, and the final judgment on murder cases in the world will be decided by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs."
"In the future, the Ministry of Punishment will have three departments, the Criminal Investigation Department, the Legislative Department, and the Criminal Decision-making Department. The third department will be headed by the right minister, and a bureau will be set up under the third department."
"Set up another grievance center and allow people to come to the Ministry of Punishment to complain."
"At the same time, the Ministry of Punishment sends people to the people every year to investigate whether there are unjust cases. If they are found, they will be investigated and corrected in a timely manner, and the officials handling the case will be punished. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who deserve to be exiled will not be tolerated!"
Zhu Qiyu used the Ministry of Punishment as the highest law.
"From now on, the Criminal Department will not be responsible for specific cases."
"Specific cases are tried by Dali Temple, but the final decision, whether guilty or not, must be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment and stamped with the final seal before it can take effect."
"Kou Shen is not in the capital, Zhang Gu and Gong Yongji are not here either. The minister of Dali Temple is vacant. Zhou Xuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is transferred to the position of minister of Dali Temple."
"Li Zan, the chief envoy of Shandong Province, was transferred to the capital to serve as Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple; Zhou Hongmo, the assistant lecturer, was appointed Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
"Tune Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zanshan Liu Jun, Zuo Chunfang Si Zhilang Li Tai, Zuo Chunfang Kiyoshiro Gaocheng, and Bao Xiang to Dali Temple to serve as You Shaoqing."
"Dali Temple will set up an additional official department, and all the officials in the world will be under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple, and will be managed by the Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
This is clear authority.
Dali Temple is responsible for hearing and judging cases, while the Ministry of Punishment makes the highest decision-making.
Dali Temple's command of the local officials is actually responsible for the police.
"The functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate remain unchanged and are responsible for supervising the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and all officials in the world."
"Together with the Supervision Department and the Military Discipline Department, it is listed as the Five Law Departments."
Hu Bi frowned: "Your Majesty, why is this Military Discipline Department established?"
"Do you have any objections to the division of the Criminal Ministry, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Supervision Department?"
“The powers and responsibilities of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department must also be separated.”
Zhu Qiyu did not answer for the time being: "Both of them have the responsibility of supervising the pickets, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of the Xantai and has greater power."
"The main task of the Supervision Department is to supervise Dali Temple. The penal power of Dali Temple must be within the scope of the supervision of the Supervision Department."
“The first is regulatory legislation and law enforcement.”
"The second is to eradicate corruption. The Supervision Department can establish a Supervision Bureau to be responsible for eradicating corruption among officials all over the world."
"After the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate discovered the situation, he submitted it to the Supervision Department, which was responsible for eradicating corruption and cleaning up the officialdom."
The Supervision Department serves as the prosecutorial department.
At the same time, it gave the Metropolitan Procuratorate another way to exercise its powers.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate must report it to the emperor, who will send the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, etc. to assist in the investigation, which requires a long process.
But the emperor chose to delegate power to the Supervision Department and let the Supervision Department come forward to directly eliminate corruption.
"Your Majesty means that the five law divisions should supervise each other, assist each other, and cooperate in handling cases?" The court official understood.
However, in the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu established the Three Law Divisions, which caused the three Law Divisions to blame each other, and for a time the Three Law Divisions collapsed.
Zhu Qiyu's establishment of the Five Laws Division is likely to cause the scene in the early Ming Dynasty.
"The responsibilities of the five law divisions are clear, and they cannot shirk each other. Those who shirk each other will be removed from office and exiled." Zhu Qiyu added.
"Then let's talk about the Military Discipline Department."
"I plan to implement a unique system in the military."
“The Military Discipline Department is responsible for enforcing military discipline, military regulations, approving merit, etc.;”
"The Military Staff Department is responsible for selecting military officials and giving military officials a path for advancement;"
"Establish an infantry department, a cavalry department, a navy department, a construction bureau, a night-time bureau, a pier and platform bureau, etc."
"The Military Discipline Department takes orders from the Military Aircraft Department and is under my direct control."
"The remaining departments will be assigned to the Ministry of War."
The emperor held military power in his hands.
"The Ministry of War is newly included in the fourth division."
The court officials understood that the Military Discipline Department was the secret service agency in the military, a knife hanging over the Ministry of War.
"Your Majesty, can the Martial Arts Hall be merged into the Ministry of War?" Sun Yuanzhen asked.
"No."
Zhu Qiyu flatly refused: "I have other arrangements, but the Ministry of War can set up a new school. I have no restrictions."
"The Pedestrian Department was abolished and changed to the Guard Department, which is responsible for the palace guards and is affiliated with the Military Aircraft Department."
"The functions of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army remain unchanged. The Commander-in-Chief will join the Military Aircraft Department and serve as the Minister of Military Aircraft."
"Water transportation is important now."
"I plan to set up a transshipment department, which will have the Water Transport Department, the Salt Transportation Department, the Salt Class Lifting Department, and the Yi Delivery Department."
The voice fell.
Wang Hong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, water transportation, salt delivery, and postal delivery are all top priorities and should not be placed under one department."
The courtiers all nodded: "Your Majesty, we should act as independent ministers and should not hold each other hostage!"
"Then set up a transshipment department, merge the salt transshipment department and the water transport department into one, and be responsible for transshipment."
"The Post Delivery Department will be set up again, parallel to the Salt Class Lifting Department."
"What do you think, gentlemen?"
The courtier nodded.
"Just abolish the palace chief Shi Si and return it to the clan's palace."
"Official positions in the General's Mansion have been abolished and there will be no official positions."
"Then there's education."
"Set up the Department of Education, the Imperial College, the Lecture Hall, and the Tianxia Society, all under the control of the Department of Education. Under the Department of Education, an economics factory can be set up to be responsible for publishing."
"The status of the Hanlin Academy remains unchanged, and a library bureau, a history compilation bureau, and a classics factory will be added to be responsible for printing."
"My lords, what do you think of this change in the central government's administration?"
The courtiers didn't have many opinions.
Just a few more departments have been added, which has increased administrative costs.
But there are many benefits.
All increased power.
"The place also needs to be changed."
Zhu Qiyu considered it carefully and said: "I set up the governor, but when the world is leveled, it will naturally be revoked and returned to the original point."
"It turns out that the three departments of local chief envoys, capital commander envoys and criminal envoys are in charge of power."
"But in reality, power rests with the governor and the guarding eunuch."
"Anyway, the Third Division has become an empty frame, so why not completely change it."
Don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty.
The governor is only a temporary appointment and has no specific official position.
The ministers were about to persuade.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "In the future, each province will have a governor to be responsible for administration and justice. The power of envoys and punishments will be vested in the governor."
"Governors are appointed by the central government, and those with both ability and political integrity should be appointed."
"Each province has a fixed governor, and when encountering special circumstances, a deputy governor can be added."
"If there is a war, the governor can grant military powers, and Jin will be the governor, which is the collective name of the governor and governor."
"The palace assigns guarding eunuchs, but the guarding eunuchs do not participate in administration or military affairs. They are only responsible for supervision and reporting to the central government. Only when they receive the imperial decree can they mobilize troops."
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department regularly dispatch envoys to patrol the country."
"The functions of the capital command department remain unchanged. The capital commanders are in charge of the military affairs in the province. When the guards and soldiers are merged into the army, the general military control system is established. The capital commanders have no authority to mobilize the troops with military numbers to prepare the Japanese army, the canal protection army and other armies. , all commanders and envoys have no right to mobilize."
The emperor was on the defensive and ordered his envoys to lead the people to rebel.
Therefore, there is no general army. During wartime, an imperial edict is issued to establish a general army. After the army is disbanded, the general army is automatically cancelled.
The guard system is still implemented.
"The Guard Command Department and Qianhu Station remain unchanged."
"The Military Discipline Department regularly dispatches military discipline envoys to inspect the guard posts and are responsible for inspecting military discipline."
It turns out that the Military Discipline Department does the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
The courtiers understood this time.
The emperor used the Department of Military Discipline to seize local military power.
"There is one more thing I want to discuss with you."
Zhu Qiyu said: "I plan to abolish the Xuanwei Department, Xuanfu Department, Appeasement Department and other official positions..."
"Your Majesty, do you want the barbarians to know the court's plans?" Hu Hu was a little speechless.
"These departments cost a lot of money and are worthless. I want to cancel them." Zhu Qiyu said weakly.
"Your Majesty, it's a waste of time. When the melons are ripe and the stems fall, it will be the time for the court to harvest the fruits. The benefits will be greater than the investment." Hu Hui said.
Zhu Qiyu felt that this nominal rule was completely meaningless.
It would be better to remove the useless ones such as the Xuanwei Department and leave the Recruitment Department.
"That's all. If you don't want to withdraw, we won't withdraw, but the funding will be halved." Zhu Qiyu did not discuss it: "The discussion on official governance ends here."
"We will draw up specific provisions for dividing the cabinet departments and then discuss them in detail."
"The big framework is set, and you decide the rest."
It is expected that the administrative reform will take half a year to complete.
Basically there are no major changes, just clear responsibilities and precise divisions.
Then some departments were added and some talents were selected to join Beijing.
Most importantly, the powers of various departments have been expanded.
So the courtiers were very satisfied.
"Your Majesty, Nanjing will also change in accordance with the direction of the central government?" Hu Hu asked.
"All ministries in Nanjing were appropriately abolished, useful departments were retained, and useless ones were merged into Northern Zhili." Zhu Qiyu was lowering the status of Southern Zhili.
Prepare for future splitting into provinces.
The long court meeting was finally over.
After the court, Zhu Qiyu drank ginseng tea first. He was really tired.
Sit on the dragon chair and rest for a while.
Take the sedan chair to Xihua Gate.
Outside Xihua Gate, there were nearly three thousand literati, some of whom were forcibly recruited by the court, and some of whom admired the collection of books in the capital and threw themselves into the trap.
Some did scold the emperor, but most of them were implicated and innocent.
Factory guards are still arresting people and sending them to Xihuamen.
Some were very innocent. They were caught while sleeping and sent outside the Xihua Gate. They were not allowed to cry out for injustice, so they were allowed to kneel quietly.
I had been kneeling all night, feeling cold and scared, and my whole body was miserable.
Those who were arrested after dawn were frightened when they saw Tang Yinji and other talented people hanging on the Meridian Gate.
creak!creak!
Xihua Gate opens.
The imperial chariot walked out of the Xihua Gate, and the horse-breeding regiments protected the imperial chariot.
Zhu Qiyu stood on the royal chariot and looked down at the scholar: "Are you just you guys? Are you scolding me outside the palace every day?"
The first sentence is a thunderous strike!
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is wronged!"
Li Jie crawled out and burst into tears: "Wei Chen is unjust. Wei Chen was brought here when he was in the guild hall!"
Zhu Qiyu frowned and said, "Li Jie?"
"I asked you why you weren't on duty, so you were kneeling here."
"How does the cold wind feel?"
Li Jie burst into tears.
Just Chen He's voice implicated him.
"Injustice!"
Many people cried out that they were wronged.
Zhu Qiyu saw that he had many acquaintances.
For example, Sun Yuanzhen's son Sun Kefa, Nian Fu's son Nian Lianzhi, and even Mao Sheng's youngest son Mao Wei and Yang Jun.
There are also promising talents in the clan, including several people named Zhu, and King Jing is among them.
"What a guy!"
Zhu Qiyu was shocked when he saw it: "King Jing, are you also scolding me behind my back?"
King Jing cried loudly: "Your Majesty, that Fan Qing looks at Wei Chen like a fly looking at a rotten egg. He insists on staring at Wei Chen! You are wronging Wei Chen!"
He describes himself as a rotten egg but also a talent.
"Wei Chen is the same, Your Majesty, please let us make the decision for Wei Chen and others!" Everyone in the clan screamed, it was really unfair.
No matter how much hatred they have in their hearts, do they dare to express it openly?
Li Jie and others cried endlessly.
Zhu Qiyu found another interesting person in the crowd: "You, don't shrink back, I saw you, Zhang Fuhua!"
Zhang Fuhua covered his face with his clothes, unable to afford to embarrass this person.
"Your Majesty, the students have been wronged!"
Zhang Fuhua cried like a fool: "Weichen is drunk, and he is here when he wakes up!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't believe his lies.
"Anyone who recognizes me, please come out and let me see you!"
Zhu Qiyu really opened his eyes. These things are one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes.
"Qian Pu, where else are you hiding?"
From a distance, Zhu Qiyu saw Qian Pu huddled in the crowd.
"His Majesty!"
Qian Pu was really unjustly accused. When he was taking a bath, he was dressed as a scholar and admired the lanterns, but he was arrested by Fan Zi.
"Climb over here. I can't see you from a distance."
Zhu Qiyu looked around: "Everyone raise their heads and let me see. You have done everything. Are you still afraid of others looking at you?"
"Everyone raise their heads, let me see what talents there are. They are people on the outside but ghosts on the outside!"
There is a eunuch in the back who is passing the message, and the people kneeling at the back can hear it.
The eunuchs also helped the emperor find it.
The literati raised their heads.
This time, I found an acquaintance again.
"Chen Fu, does your father Chen Huai know that you are scolding me behind my back?"
Chen Fu is the son of Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai.
He burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I am so unjust!"
"Zhao Ying, can your father Zhao An rest in peace in heaven?"
Zhao An was a famous general in the northwest. He died in the ninth year of Zhengtong.
Zhu Qiyu set up a martial arts lecture hall and recruited the sons of meritorious ministers into the martial arts lecture hall, hoping that the sons would inherit their father's legacy.
Zhao Ying was specially recruited.
"Yang Yan, your father Yang Ning is 94 years old, and he is still running around Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty!"
"what are you doing?"
"How old are you this year? Are you still fooling around?"
Zhu Qiyu saw an acquaintance again: "I have favored you as an official, but you don't want to make progress and associate with those who scold me. Is this how you repay me?"
Yang Yan's father, Yang Ning, is also a famous minister and general.
Because of his foot disease, he had been unable to move for a long time, but because he was familiar with Yunnan and participated in the expedition to Luchuan.
When Wang Wen goes to Yunnan, he needs someone who understands Yunnan to control the situation.
When Zhu Qiyu recruited him, without saying a word, he was carried on a stretcher and followed Wang Wen to Yunnan to cheer for Wang Wen.
As a result, his son did not want to make progress, but he mailed it in the guild hall.
A tiger father and a dog son, just right.
"Shi Yun, where are you hiding?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at him: "Your grandfather Shi Zhao was a famous general. He guarded Ningxia for 14 years and was unparalleled. Is this how you honor your ancestors?"
Shi Zhao has been guarding Liangzhou since the eighth year of Yongle.
Beginning in the eighth year of Xuande's reign, he guarded Ningxia for 14 years. He was so famous that the barbarians did not dare to compare with him, and he fell in the ninth year of Zhengtong.
Zhu Qiyu remembered his grandfather's contribution and specially ordered Shi Yun to enter the martial arts hall.
Give him a chance to get ahead.
It turned out good.
People just want to be like a puddle of mud.
"Ma Zhong, where to hide!"
"Uncle Zhaoyuan, do you associate with these people?"
"Disgrace your grandfather Ma Liang?"
"is not it!"
Zhao Ying, Chen Fu, Ma Zhong, and Shi Yun are really like each other.
"Let me take another look, which loyal minister and filial son is still here?"
Zhu Qiyu was suddenly surprised: "Ah? Isn't this Uncle An Xiang? You are a martial artist and you also participate in poetry gatherings? Do you know the calligraphy?"
Anxiang Bo Zhang Ning.
His father, Zhang An, was defeated by bandits when he was guarding Guangzhou in the 13th year of Zhengtong. Zhang An fell into the river and drowned while escaping.
Zhang Ning is not as good as his father Zhang An, he is just a piece of trash.
Two generations of waste were really rare during the Jingtai period.
The first Anxiang Bo was named Zhang Xing by Emperor Taizong. After Zhang Xing died in battle, he had no sons, and the title was inherited by his nephew Zhang Yong.
Zhang Xing and Zhang Yong are both brave generals.
Zhang Ning lowered his head and blushed.
"What an embarrassment to your grandpa and great-grandpa!"
"I don't even want to say anything about you. Two generations of your family are useless. I should take back the coupons and let you dig out the shit!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to look at him: "Hey, the person fooling around with Uncle Anxiang turns out to be Uncle Wu Jin!"
"Which kind of trash do I think he is? Can he be with these people?"
"It turns out it's you, the loser!"
"That's not surprising." Zhu Qiyu scolded them.
Wu Jin's uncle Zhu Fu, his father was Zhu Mian.
Zhu Mian was not only able to fight wars himself, but also recommended many talented people.
Zhu Fu lowered his head.
"What a hero your father Zhu Mian is? He died as a martyr in the battle of Tumubao!"
Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "Look at you again, eating and waiting to die, you are worse than a dog!"
"I see that your surname is Zhu, and you have the same surname as mine. I am ashamed of you!"
"Why don't you change your surname? Don't abuse the surname Zhu. Your father and I will be ashamed of you."
Zhu Mian's children and grandchildren were all useless.
Five sons and fifteen grandsons are all embarrassed.
"Let me see, who are fooling around with these two useless snacks? Look up!"
"Uncle Guang En? Is that you?"
Zhu Qiyu did not take it lightly: "Climb over here and let me take a look!"
Liu Kai crawled over and raised his head.
The father of Guang Enbo Liu Kai was Liu Cai. He was not a famous general, but he had good vision and invested in Emperor Taizong and was awarded a title.
"You two are so well matched. You are all useless snacks that embarrass my father and grandfather. No wonder you can chat together!"
"Did you scold me a lot behind your back?"
"Are you scolding me for not using you?"
"what?"
"I handed over the army to you. Will you lose the army? Then come back and report to me that you are lost?"
Zhu Qiyu said that he was very happy: "Who is that next to you? What kind of waste? Sign up yourself!"
"Weak minister Fu Changbo!" Fang Tongda replied.
"It turns out it's you, you loser! There's nothing wrong with that!"
"Look at you four, how well-matched you are!"
"It's a good match for the four of you Zhao Ying. The eight of you should get together every day. You are all trash. You must have a lot in common."
"My heroic son, Bear, is talking about you!"
"My father and grandfather's face has been completely shamed by you!"
"I am ashamed of you all!"
"Next time when you pay homage to your father and ancestors, take my words with you. You are not worthy of being the descendants of heroes!"
"Look at your fathers and grandfathers, how heroic they are!"
"Zhang Xing and Zhang Yong were not afraid of battle or hardship. They fought bloody and died of exhaustion!"
"Zhu Mian, what a hero! With his merits, he was promoted to the Martial Arts Council! He died in the Tumu Fort, what a heroic hero!"
"Liu Cai! He is a shameless man who doesn't commit adultery and doesn't try to destroy others! How can he be worthy of respect?"
"Fang Sheng! Conquered the south and conquered the north, and made many military exploits!"
"Look at you again, I want to beat you to death!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted sharply: "Kneel down and go aside, I will deal with you properly later!"
"Everyone, raise your heads and let me see who are the great sages of the country?"
"Why do I think you look familiar?"
"You! It's you!"
"Climb over here and let me take a look!"
The man crawled over slowly, with tears streaming down his face: "See Your Majesty."
"Hey, isn't this Xue Xuan's disciple Liu Jian?"
Zhu Qiyu had noticed him a long time ago, but he never saw him clearly: "Tsk, tsk, your master has recommended you to me several times."
"You know what?"
"You are said to have unparalleled talents and be an able minister in governing the world."
"But I didn't expect that I would see you here."
"What a capable minister. From what I see, you are really capable."
Liu Jian, a world-famous minister.
Liu Jian was Du Ruhui in the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the students have been wronged!"
Liu Jian was Xue Xuan's disciple. When Xue Xuan entered the palace, he often took Liu Jian with him, so the emperor knew him.
"The student was studying hard in the inn, and he was caught by the Jin Yiwei!"
Liu Jian burst into tears: "The students have been wronged!"
"Studying hard? The Lantern Festival is so lively, how can you endure being lonely and studying hard in an inn?" Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it.
Liu Jian likes to travel and rarely stays home all year round.
read more, walk more.
Zhu Qiyu didn't know whether he had read thousands of books. He must have traveled thousands of miles.
"The student is really studying hard! The student's senior brother can testify!"
Liu Jian sold his senior brother.
His senior brother Bai Liangsuke.
Bai Liangfu was Liu Jian's fellow villager. Bai Liangfu first became a disciple of Xue Xuan, and later recommended Liu Jian, and he was regarded as Liu Jian's guide.
"Your Majesty, the students and others are really studying hard at the inn and working hard this spring!"
I had fun with Zhu Qiyu, who would believe it?
You two are going to travel to famous mountains and rivers. I believe you are going to study hard. If you are willing to spend half of your IQ on studying, you can become a top scholar.
“I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I’m shocked when I see it!”
"Why is everyone in the world scolding me?"
"I just want to ask, why?"
"How have I ever failed the world?"
Zhu Qiyu stopped smiling: "Who can tell me? Why?"
Suddenly, furious.
The emperor didn't know anyone. Most of their connections were limited to one place, but they were not ordinary people.
Otherwise, I would not have gone to Beijing to prepare for exams or study.
Basically they all came from noble families.
"you!"
Zhu Qiyu pointed casually: "Say!"
"Your Majesty, students don't dare to slander Your Majesty, I really don't!"
Who dares to say so?
The named literati really vomited blood and was upset.
"I want to listen to the truth!"
"Even if you scold me and you have valid reasons, I will listen and I won't punish you."
"You will even be allowed to participate in next year's encore and serve as censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"I am not a cruel king, but an emperor who likes to hear the truth."
Zhu Qiyu looked around at everyone: "The person who said it first, I allow you to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the censor."
Someone was moved.
It is not a bad thing to be able to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate with this.
A scholar climbed out and kowtowed: "Students have something to say!"
"What's your name?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Student Jingtai was elected in the fourth year, Min Gui." The scholar gritted his teeth and said.
Zhu Qiyu looked at him. He was very young, estimated to be in his twenties.
Courage is not small.
How dare you take his words.
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu gave him a chance.
"Your Majesty, the scholars gathered together to slander Your Majesty. The students think that there are three reasons!"
Min Gui speaks clearly and shows no fear when speaking in public:
"First, His Majesty's rule was very vigorous. The literati were conservative and could not accept new things. They were even more worried that new things would offend their inherent interests, so the public response was huge."
"Secondly, His Majesty's rule involves the vital interests of the literati, so His Majesty is reviled."
"Thirdly, Your Majesty likes to use eagles and dogs to control the powerful, and to make people in the world to eat like dogs. This is the reason why people are excited."
"A student is just a scholar, and does not understand government affairs, but he has great ambitions in mind. Therefore, I advise your majesty to speak widely and listen to others. If you listen, you will be clear and if you believe, you will be secret. Please don't be guilty of any words."
Min Gui bowed to the ground.
Is this guy's mouth full of shit?
The literati were scolded, the emperor was scolded, and everyone in the world was scolded.
This is a geek, a crazy geek seeking death.
Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
The literati were all waiting for the emperor to be furious, waiting for the emperor to break his promise and get rich.
Min Gui almost slapped the emperor in the face and called you a fool.
"Hahaha!"
As a result, Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly: "Min Gui, I violated the interests of the literati, so the literati scolded me."
"Then have I violated your interests? Why do you want to scold me?"
Min Gui was stunned: "Students do not dare to insult His Majesty. They are just admonishing. Your Majesty, please think again."
This is a tough character.
Dance with your life on the tip of the knife.
Zhu Qiyu asked: "Tell me, what interests have I violated against the literati?"
Min Gui was happy and undaunted, and said calmly: "Your Majesty let the students, and the students said that there are three reasons for violating your Majesty's interests."
"First, by opening up the imperial examination system, some people who blocked the way to express themselves became angry and frustrated."
"Secondly, Your Majesty wants to recruit the families of hundreds of officials from all over the world to serve in the capital. People in the world study just to be officials. Who is willing to put their family members in the tiger's mouth?"
"Thirdly, His Majesty values military affairs over literature, so he is disliked by the literati."
Min Gui has such a bold mouth!
Even Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to say this.
Min Gui once promoted people, but he pointed out the ills of the times and hit the point every sentence.
The imperial examination is not something that should be taken every year.
The fewer Jinshi, the more valuable it is.
This is a well-established rule, a circle of interests that everyone is protecting.
Zhu Qiyu made great efforts to allow literati to easily ascend to the throne, but at the same time, the risks for officials also increased, and there was a sharp sword hanging over the official's head.
Because the emperor can kill people at will, and if he kills this official, a large number of officials will come to replace him, and the official becomes very dangerous.
Do you think the courtiers don’t know that the literati are scolding the emperor?
Of course I know, and I even contribute to it.
And Zhu Qiyu forcibly recruited hundreds of officials and their families to come to Beijing. This was the trigger for the outburst of criticism, but it was not the fundamental reason.
The fundamental reason is that military force is emphasized over literature.
The emperor valued generals and constantly improved their status.
The civilian officials brought by Yang Shiqi suppressed the nobles, and the situation of civilian dominance was completely ruined. Therefore, opposition from civilian officials continued one after another.
The strength of the civil service lies in the fact that it is a regiment.
The emperor poked a hole, which naturally aroused a wave of opposition.
