Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 755 Yuan Shou’s Records are published all over the world and the Yongle Ceremony is made public

If you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, you have to keep fighting.

If you want to maintain the authority and intimidation of the emperor, you must always win the battle.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty celebrated the New Year, and the government returned to normal.

Since the capture of RB, the ministers have become more respectful, while the emperor has become more arrogant.

Ordinary civil servants were in their respective yamen handling the backlog of government affairs in the past half month, while important ministers came to Ganquan Palace to attend court meetings.

Without waiting for anyone to do anything, Zhu Qiyu took the lead in attacking: "Since I came to the throne, Yunnan and Guizhou have been exempted from taxes and corvee.

I also relocated most of the Miao people and stopped copper mining in Yunnan.

Why are they still causing trouble? What have local officials done recently? "

Luo Tong replied: "Those toast trees in the southwest have deep roots and are intertwined, and they have been serving the imperial court. In recent years, Yunnan has not been guarded by the Duke of Guizhou, and the main army of the imperial court has been concentrated in other directions.

Therefore, it is normal for those chieftains to expand their power and have evil intentions. "

Zhu Qiyu didn't agree with Luo Tong's understatement, but he didn't say much: "Then send a large army to conquer."

"May I ask, Your Majesty, who should be the commander-in-chief? Which troops should be deployed to conquer?"

"With Yunnan Chief Military Officer Mu Lin as the commander-in-chief, in addition to the troops from Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces, they will also be recruited from Nanjing Jingying."

There is a word game here. Nanjing Jingying is still empty now. Wang Ji has retired and Cao Guogong was ordered to succeed Wang Ji.

At least two years have passed since the Nanjing camp was initially established and then transferred to Yunnan and Guizhou. Recruitment had already been completed by then.

As for the Mu family in Yunnan, Mu Lin, who is currently in charge of the Duke of Guizhou's mansion, has a good relationship with the local chieftains and will not really fight for life or death.

It will take another six or seven years until Mu Cong, the Duke of Guizhou, returns to Yunnan.

It is not easy for Mu Cong to take over the Duke of Guizhou Mansion.

In more than ten years, people's hearts will change. By the time Mu Cong returned to the Duke's Mansion of Guizhou, things had already changed.

Fortunately, I have Zhu Qiyu as my elder brother, so I have to make good arrangements for this little brother.

The key step is to let Mu Lin achieve more military exploits, and then give him a title and let him guard some state capitals in Myanmar.

Things would be much easier if Mu Lin was separated from the Duke of Guizhou's mansion in a dignified manner.

When Burma was captured, Mu Lin led his army to make great achievements in a sneak attack. Let Mu Lin and the Burmese gang fall in love and kill each other in the future, and by the way, it would be able to check and balance Ning Guogong Chen Mao, who was also sealed in Burma.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu asked again: "All silver mines in Zhejiang and Fujian have stopped. Are the local miners no longer causing trouble?"

If Zhu Qizhen hadn't opened silver mines in Zhejiang and Fujian, there would have been no miners causing trouble. Without this trigger, there would have been no civil uprising in the Southeast.

Without the Southeast Civil Rebellion, Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang at that time, would not have led the elite troops of the Beijing camp to quell the rebellion.

If Chen Mao and the tens of thousands of elites had been in Beijing, the tragedy in Tumubao would probably not have happened.

At that time, those who had the ability to command an army of 100,000, Dingxi Marquis Jiang Gui happened to have died at the beginning of the year, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji was in the southwest, and Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao was in the southeast.

Only the British prince Zhang Fu was in the capital, but his relationship with Zhu Qizhen was extremely poor.

If Chen Mao was in the capital, Zhu Qizhen would not need to personally conquer.

Zhu Qiyu secretly sighed. He had won over Xu Heng, the Marquis of Xing'an, who had the ability to command an army of 100,000. Now it was time to develop Wang Yue's potential.

The Jingtai Dynasty must have its own famous officials and generals. A true disciple of the Emperor like Wang Yue couldn't be more suitable.

Seeing that his father was distracted, Zhu Wenfang secretly tugged at the corner of Zhu Qiyu's clothes.

Zhu Qiyu came back to his senses and continued: "The "Yuan Shou Shi Lu" has been repaired, let it be published all over the world. First of all, "Yuan Shou Shi Lu" should be put on the bookshelves in the schools and libraries of the capital.

History books are meant to be read by the people of the world, not hidden away.

In addition, the actual records of the Hongxi and Xuande dynasties have also been revised and published together. "

When everyone heard this, they all started talking quietly. The Hong Xi Dynasty was too short and there is not much to say. However, in the actual records of the Xuande Dynasty, the emperor added a lot of content, and the government and the public have long heard of this.

In particular, it enriches Sanyang's various deeds and makes a fair evaluation of them.

Like Sanyang, who regarded giving up Annan as a virtue and took the initiative to donate the state capitals of Guangxi and Yunnan to Li Li, the leader of Annan, and was not ashamed but proud of it. "Records" gave straightforward criticisms.

The judgments were all written and signed by Zhu Qiyu himself.

I will express my views directly and let future generations comment.

Zhu Qiyu added: "I want to set up a new organization to take charge of the printing, preservation and dissemination of books.

The first step is to copy at least ten copies of "Yongle Dadian", two copies are stored in Beijing, and the rest are stored in North Korea, RB, Annan and other places.

The second step is to select the classic books in the "Yongle Dadian" and publish them for people all over the world to consult.

There is only one of them now, and one day "Yongle Dadian" may be destroyed by war, and it will all be gone. "

This was for the sake of future generations. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the "Yongle Dadian" that was finally completed also died.

Poor descendants no longer know what is written in "Yongle Dadian" and can only read "Sikuquanshu".

Zhu Qiyu's behavior is somewhat incompatible with the world. Whether it is history books or classics such as "Yongle Dadian", they have always been carefully collected. Not to mention that ordinary people cannot see them, even officials cannot be consulted by just anyone.

After the emperor finished speaking, it was time for the ministers to proceed.

Li Zan, the newly appointed official, took the lead in the matter and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, governors, guards and other officials in various places, as well as the chief officials of the Dusi, Chief Envoy, and Inspectorate departments, according to their responsibilities, often act recklessly. Act recklessly.

Every time you go in or out, you must be escorted by officials for thirty to fifty miles, or as far as a hundred miles.

Whenever there is a request for advice, everyone should kneel down. If someone is slightly upright, he will cause trouble and insult him.

Taking exam candidates as a conscientious person, and writing poems as a talented person, the soldiers and civilians were not even asked about their ailments.

Begging to apply for the laws and constitution of the Ming Dynasty is strictly prohibited. "

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he was very curious: "Real or false, this is a bit too much.

As an emperor, I don’t have officials to greet me when I go out for thirty or fifty miles. How can those governors and the chief officials of the third department make such a fuss? He is actually more majestic than me.

As for the subordinates who have to kneel down to pay respects, that is even more exaggerated.

When I usually summon ministers, they are not allowed to kneel down.

What kind of trend is this? "

Li Zan replied: "I don't dare to deceive the emperor. The above are all facts. A little investigation can confirm it."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head, didn't many people boast that the Ming Dynasty didn't have to kneel down at all times? It can be seen that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. At the local level, those officials who have feudal borders often show off.
