I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 127 I’m scared, the shadow of a snake!Eight hundred miles urgent!
Isn't this used to restrict generals and prevent them from rebelling by clenching military power?

Why should we use it on our civil servants?
"His Royal Highness, is this inappropriate?"

Huang Zicheng quickly stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yunzhen asked with a smile.

Huang Zicheng cupped his hands, opened his mouth, and suddenly swallowed back the words he was about to say.

If it is said that the dictatorship exercises power and deceives the superior and the subordinate, the military general can do it, and the civil servant can do more.

Isn’t Hu Weiyong a civil servant?

Isn't Li Shanchang a civil servant?

They were all executed for treason.

That being the case, why can't the measures used to restrain and guard against generals not be applied to civilian officials?
He was stunned there, unable to think of a reason to refute for a long time.

If these measures were discussed from the beginning, Huang Zicheng could make up 1 excuses to object.

For example, the secret performance system affects the trust of the monarch and his subjects and destroys the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

The imperial court should employ people without suspicion, and suspects should not be used.

The emperor is wise, and his courtiers are naturally virtuous.

If the system of secret performances is used, the ministers will be suspicious of each other, the villains will sue insidiously, and the general atmosphere of the world will be broken.

Another example is that the imperial court should give preferential treatment to the counselors and give them all kinds of high treatment, so as to reflect the benevolence of the emperor...

Another example is that political affairs should be handed over to the counselors as much as possible, and the emperor will be governed by the emperor. You don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to worry about it.

And so on, all kinds of do's and don'ts.

Huang Zicheng already had a perfect plan in his mind, and he also thought about it and said it almost seamlessly.

These days, I have already reached an agreement with my colleagues.

It only needs to be proposed and approved in the court today.

If His Majesty or His Highness Taisun asked, they would have something to answer.

When everyone works together, great things can be accomplished.

Unexpectedly, the method has not been proposed yet.

First, he was generalized to death by Zhu Yunxi's army.

According to the method of the Military Affairs Department?

This……

Will civil servants still have power in the future?

The secret recording system, the secrecy system... and countless "shackles" imposed on him.

Instead of any expansion, the power of civil servants has been greatly reduced.

Even the crucial right to public opinion will no longer exist under the strict secrecy system.

But the method used to deal with generals just now was thought up by himself. Now that it is used in the Advisory Office, what reason is there to oppose it?

If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have racked my brains just now to come up with ideas to limit the power of generals.

Unexpectedly, His Highness Taisun actually had such an idea and asked them to make their own cages to lock themselves in.

But after thinking about it again, if there is an opportunity to limit the power of the general Xungui, he will not miss it anyway, and he should not miss it.

Therefore, when he just thought of a way, even if the idea of ​​whether this method would be used to deal with himself flashed through his mind, he was quickly driven away.

"His Highness Taisun's move is very clever!" Lan Yu spoke first.

The generals immediately responded.

"It is completely feasible to integrate civil and military forces and use the same method."

"In this way, the old incident between Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang will never happen again."

"Consulting the government instead of governing is the way of a courtier. The son of heaven guards the world on behalf of Tianmu. The important affairs of the court should be decided by the son of heaven. Employing people to listen to the words, the power cannot be ignored."

"In this way, there is no need to worry about treacherous villains fooling the court. Your lords are all gentlemen and will definitely agree with this method."

The military generals are not fools, and they also understand that the civil servants were tricked by His Royal Highness.

He designed a whole set of shackles to restrain generals, but he ended up wearing them on himself.

His Royal Highness, it is wonderful!

At this time, it is necessary to add insult to injury.

"Hahaha, our generals all think this method is good. I think all civil servants are well-read in the books of sages, know etiquette and reason, and are aboveboard. How can we disagree?"

"I can't think of any reason to disagree as a courtier, except for a treacherous villain who wants to seize power and seize power?"

"Yes, if anyone objects, I think they have something in mind."

"Whoever opposes it is a villain with unexpected intentions and should be beheaded immediately to show the public."

……

The more the military generals talked, the more excited they became, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became.

The civil servants stood there blankly one by one, in a dilemma.

Especially Huang Zicheng, who was the first to stand up and object, but he couldn't give a reason for his objection.

Now that the general is making a fuss, he will be even more embarrassed.

Zhu Yunzhen nodded slightly in approval to the generals.

These people really cooperate.

Immediately, his eyes shifted to Huang Zicheng, and he asked again: "Why didn't Master Huang say anything? What's wrong?"

"This... this..." Huang Zicheng squeaked, "I'm...I'm...official, I've thought about it carefully, and there's nothing wrong with it."

He almost exhausted all his strength to say this.

After finishing speaking, I only felt the blood qi surge up, and the whole person seemed to have collapsed.

Seeing this, Qi Tai at the side quickly reached out to support him.

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Master Huang thinks there is nothing wrong with it, what about the others?"

He looked at the civil servants.

At this time, the civil servants all had mixed feelings in their hearts.

These days, I have thought a lot about it, planning for the establishment of the Advisory Office.

Thought it was a great time to take power.

Unexpectedly, in the end, not only did everything come to nothing, I achieved nothing, but I also put "shackles" on myself.

If we had known this earlier, when His Highness Taisun proposed to set up a counseling office, he should have tried his best to oppose it.

But it's too late to say anything.

The situation is better than people.

Oppose?

Who dares to object?

Especially the military generals next to you are watching?
To oppose you is to have ulterior motives, to seize power, and to rebel.

Otherwise, why do we, the noble military generals, not be greedy for power or love power, but you people who have read the books of sages and sages only want to fight for power?

The civil servants had no choice but to come out and express their views.

"Your Majesty thinks it's okay."

"Military and government affairs are different, but the principles are the same. Your Highness, this is a good approach."

"The lower officials agree!"

"The lower officials also agree!"

……

Even though the civil servants were 1 unhappy, they could only speak in agreement at this time.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection, then it's settled like this."

Zhu Yunxuan was in a good mood.

"There is one more thing I want to discuss with you adults."

"Because of the Japanese pirates' rebellion, this dynasty has banned people along the coast from going to sea privately since the third year of Hongwu. Later, it reiterated the policy of banning the sea many times, and it became tighter and tighter."

"Nowadays, repeated businessmen entering the country are also prohibited."

"However, private smuggling has been repeatedly prohibited."

"Not to mention the coastal areas, even the docks of Jinling City have many foreign merchants."

"The government can't ban it, the laws are almost empty words, and the Japanese pirates' rebellion has not decreased."

"Gu decided to open the sea ban and set up a city shipping department to manage it. The people will go to sea again, travel overseas, and exchange what they need. They only need to declare and pay taxes to the imperial court."

"As for the Japanese pirates causing trouble, Guzi will send troops to put it down."

"What do you adults think?"

He had already told Lao Zhu about the opening of the sea ban.

Lao Zhu didn't comment at that time, so the matter was shelved.

But since Lao Zhu handed over the government to him now, he just wanted to test him and see how he would handle it.

Being afraid of hands and feet and being cautious in everything will disappoint Lao Zhu.

It's better to just let go of your hands and feet, work hard, make achievements, and make Lao Zhu look up to you.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the resistance to the lifting of the sea ban was not small.

The main reason is that the smuggling trade between the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and overseas has never really been interrupted during the ban on the sea.

After the ban on the sea, only the powerful and powerful families can do overseas business.

Ordinary people and businessmen simply don't have such ability, which means they have formed a de facto monopoly, and they don't have to pay taxes to the court.

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River who were in power in the imperial court all benefited from it, so they were unwilling to let go of the sea ban.

But it is still the early Ming Dynasty, and the smuggling interest class has not yet formed, so the resistance will not be that great.

It's not that Zhu Yunxu didn't consider it, he simply didn't rush to open up and let the Ming Dynasty handle overseas trade.

In order to prevent the opening of the sea ban, the bulk of the gentry class took it away.

But soon, he vetoed the idea.

If you want to push Ming Dynasty into a new era quickly, you must form enough interest groups and gain their support.

If it is unprofitable and all classes oppose it, then even if he is the emperor, the reform cannot be carried out.

In the later generations of society, in the eyes of most people, capitalism is opposed, and capitalists are regarded as exploiters and vampires.

However, in today's era, capital represents advancement and the direction of development.

On the contrary, Zhu Yunzhen deliberately cultivated him.

How about letting the gentry benefit a bit by opening the sea ban?
Anyway, the imperial court still has ways to deal with them through tax adjustments and policy control in the future.

Overseas trade, and even overseas colonization, is the fastest way to cultivate the capitalist class.

Otherwise, all reforms will be impossible to carry out due to the lack of the necessary economic foundation and supporting classes.

Productivity and production relations must be compatible.

This is an important step that Ming Dynasty must take towards a new era.

Only in this way can we lead the world in the future drastic changes in the world.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Qi Tai almost subconsciously objected.

After the sea ban is lifted, can the Japanese pirates be calmed down?

Will it get worse?

The Ming Dynasty is a vast land with rich products and everything is in short supply. Is it necessary to do business with the Fan people?
The ban on the sea is good, why should it be released for no reason?

For such an important matter, why not discuss it with the courtiers before making a decision?
He thought to himself, took a step forward, and was about to speak, when he saw Huang Zicheng next to him, who had just suffered a huge blow and was still weak at the moment, gently shook his head at him.

Qi Tai was shocked.

The opening of the sea ban was not another pit dug by His Royal Highness, right?

Just wait for him to jump in?

His Royal Highness Taisun's actions are unfathomable, and today's confrontation in the court hall has fully demonstrated.

If so, then...

Thoughts raced through Qi Tai's mind, and he retreated quietly.

Not only him, but other officials also had the same thoughts.

He wanted to stop it, but he was afraid that it was a trap designed by His Royal Highness.

If you fall into it again, it will be too humiliating!

After being tricked several times in a row, they were really scared.

Every one of them looked like a frightened bird.

All of them are shadows of cups, bows and snakes.

Zhu Yunxi was also stunned.

No one objected to the opening of the sea ban?
This was really beyond his expectation.

He had long been prepared that these officials would object.

Unexpectedly, there was not.

"Since there is no objection, then the yamen will immediately formulate relevant management regulations, select capable officials, and arrange the opening of the sea ban."

"It will be officially opened on the first day of next year."

Since none of them objected, Zhu Yunxi was happy to save a lot of effort.

Opening the sea ban is not a trivial matter and requires a series of preparations.

After opening up, strict management is also required.

These all take time.

In addition, there is one more important point.

To open the sea ban, the Japanese pirates must be wiped out.

Stay a few months for that.

"Okay, if you adults have nothing to do, then today's court meeting will end here."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, the eunuch shouted "retreat", and all the officials bowed and withdrew one by one.

at this time.

A hasty and tense voice came from far and near.

"Eight hundred miles urgently!"

"Eight hundred miles urgently!"

Shouting continued, all the way straight into the palace gate.

All the officials were furious.

The [-]-mile express will not be activated casually.

Generally, if there is no major incident, even if there is an emergency military situation, at most six hundred miles will be dispatched to expedite it.

If you really need to spend [-] miles to rush, then something big will definitely happen.

Jiang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei who was guarding outside the hall, went up to meet him, and the general reported that he had received it.

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly.

It is now the 25th year of Hongwu, and he vaguely remembers that in history, apart from Zhu Biao's death, there was no particularly important military event in this year.

There was no large-scale foreign invasion, or rebellion.

Why are there eight hundred miles rushed to the palace?
He thought secretly in his heart, opened it and looked, and his expression changed drastically.
