The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson
Chapter 315: Catch the ducks and put them on the shelves
Chapter 315: Catch the ducks and put them on the shelves
Empress Ma settled the people and told the servants to keep an eye on them before coming out of the side hall.
When he arrived at the door, he said to Zhu Xiongying and Chen Jingke who were waiting outside:
"Let's go and sit over there."
The three of them came to the side hall where Zhu Xiongying lived before.
Now he often lives here, and Chen Jingke will stay here occasionally when he is not home.
After asking the waiters to leave, Empress Ma said with emotion:
"Your Majesty's last concern has finally been settled."
Although Zhu Xiongying had accepted this matter, he still had many puzzlements and immediately asked:
"Grandpa Huang hates betrayal the most. Why did he suddenly forgive Mr. Han?"
Queen Ma said: "People's hearts are made of flesh. We have joined hands from humble beginnings to today. How can we forget the feelings so easily?"
"Besides, your imperial grandfather is about to abdicate, and he also wants to achieve perfection for himself."
"Li Baishi is very stingy, has a good reputation, and always pretends to be generous, causing a lot of jokes..."
Therefore, there is a widely recognized theory of past lives.
"Cough..." Zhu Xiongying coughed dryly, as if he had something to say.
In his previous life, he also had people he disliked, and sometimes he wished the other person would die.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting on the front line, Queen Ma and Li Shanchang worked together to manage the rear.
“Sometimes when you forgive others, you are also at peace with yourself.”
In fact, the existence of Queen Ma was the biggest factor in the reconciliation between the king and his ministers.
But as time passed, he became increasingly proud of Ming Dynasty, and his hatred gradually disappeared.
That's the military, and this is a taboo thing.
Chen Jingke is a time traveler. He is not young in his two lifetimes combined, so his feelings are relatively deep.
The two also share a deep comradeship.
Instead, resolve it privately and let him exit the situation with dignity.
Chen Jingke and Zhu Xiongying became the best listeners.
With her and without her, Zhu Yuanzhang is two different people.
The three of them talked about it until the second watch, and then Queen Ma went to rest.
He couldn't help but compare it to Chen Jingke.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang and others waded through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood together, so one can imagine how deep their feelings were.
It would not be surprising if both sides work together to achieve reconciliation.
Queen Ma was also very happy and kept talking about the past and a lot of little secrets that no one knew.
After Li Shanchang was imprisoned, she often visited him.
With her coordinating it, Li Shanchang should be able to realize his mistakes no matter how selfish he is.
In this life, because of Empress Ma's persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang did not directly punish Li Shanchang after discovering his betrayal.
After all, Zhu Xiongying is young and it is difficult to understand the emotions involved.
The key point is that he still puts his resentment on his face, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he is angry in his heart.
And now the reconciliation between the monarch and his ministers is the best proof.
Chen Jingke yawned and said, "Go to sleep, there will be a lot of things to do tomorrow."
Of course, if one party never repented, that would be a different matter.
Queen Ma is Zhu Yuanzhang's scabbard and the lubricant between him and his ministers.
"If there is a step down, reconciliation will not be a strange thing."
After returning to his hometown, he still pretended to be the number one hero, and even dared to privately mobilize the army to build his own house.
Li Shanchang has no room to complain. He has been quite honest in recent years.
When you encounter betrayal, you will hate it even more.
"I did hate her at first, but once I calm down my old feelings will gradually take over."
Just like Li Shanchang in his previous life, he betrayed himself first, but Zhu Yuanzhang tolerated him again and again, but he still didn't know how to repent.
Having just traveled through time, I was also gnashing my teeth as I recalled all the events in my previous life.
In the end, all the ministers collectively remonstrated, and even Zhu Biao couldn't bear it anymore, so he killed him.
Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't want to kill him.
Although I don't miss their kindness, I am no longer angry.
But after calming down, I still feel more sadness in my heart.
If Chen Jingke betrayed him... he couldn't think about it, his blood pressure had already started to rise.
But he hesitated for a while and did not say anything, and finally said angrily:
"Go to sleep."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Chen Jingke has a black line on his forehead, is he crazy?
What he didn't know was that Zhu Xiongying found Xu Miaojin the next day and talked about the reconciliation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang.
And he was full of emotions. If Grandpa Huang impulsively chopped people off back then, he would definitely regret it now.
Thanks to the imperial grandmother's advice that day, and the reconciliation between the two parties over the years, today's reconciliation was achieved.
Then he pretended to be casual and said: "If I am impulsive and want to kill an important minister in the future, you should persuade me just like the emperor's grandmother advised the emperor's grandfather."
Xu Miaojin naturally understood what he meant. She rolled her eyes and pretended to be confused:
"Okay, I will definitely advise you."
"But it depends on who he is. If Chen Jingke dares to betray you, then he will be cut into pieces."
"Ah?" Zhu Xiongying was confused and asked quickly: "No... why?"
Xu Miaojin said seriously: "You trust him so much, and yet he betrays you. What will such an ungrateful person do if he doesn't kill him?"
"Ah, this, this, this..." Zhu Xiongying was about to faint, that's not what I meant.
Why are you more indignant than me? Who of us should persuade whom?
Just when he was thinking about how to explain, Xu Miaojin couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Xiongying didn't know that he was being tricked, and said with all his teeth and claws:
"Okay, how dare you lie to me, let's see how I deal with you."
Xu Miaojin pretended to be scared and hid.
Queen Ma watched them playing in the distance with a kind smile.

Li Shanchang did not go directly to take office, but made great arrangements and invited all seventh-rank and above officials in Beijing to celebrate his comeback.
A flowing banquet was set up for three days to entertain all the people.
It's like he's afraid that others won't know.
Such a high-profile act was really beyond everyone's expectations.
Many people are talking about it, and it is difficult to get carried away for a long time.
Some people also wonder, Li Shanchang should not be such a stupid person, how could he make such a mistake?
Some people have already understood that he did it deliberately for the world to see.
The more high-profile he is, the bigger the noise about his comeback will be, and the more people will know about it.
Everyone's evaluation of the emperor will be higher.
And after all, he had been retired for too long, and the court had changed people several times.
As the saying goes, it's hard to say how many people are willing to listen to him.
He was so high-profile and told the world.
Li Shanchang is still the same Li Shanchang, stop making small calculations in front of me.
The effect of this is indeed obvious. No matter what everyone thinks, they have to brace themselves to face the first hero of the founding of the country.
Three days later he officially took office.
The first thing he did when he took office was to fill the vacancies in the staff department with his cronies.
He was the designer of the administrative system of the early Ming Dynasty. Although he had retired for several years, he still had many close associates.
Come back at this time, there is no need to worry about having no manpower available.
This also means that the civil service group has lost control of the bureaucracy.
Faced with this situation, the civil service group collectively lost its voice.
I wanted to resist, but found that there was no way.
Because Li Shanchang never represents himself, the person standing behind him is the Xungui Group.
After Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately divided the civil and military affairs.
The Xungui Group gradually withdrew from the administrative system, retaining only control of the military.
The civil service group took a step forward and took over the administrative system.
Now that Li Shanchang is in charge of the civil service, the power of nobles and nobles has once again intervened in the administrative system.
Faced with this situation, the civil service group finally realized that they were so weak.
In the past, they could still say that the emperor relied on us to govern the world.
But now, it's different. It was indeed different. Li Shanchang didn't pay attention to the ideas of the civil service group at all.
After taking control of the personnel department, he promoted the officials on the list provided by Qiu Guangan one by one.
The planners officially took control of the household department, and the originally loose group of planners officially transformed into a group.
The scope of influence includes but is not limited to financial institutions, warehousing and other institutions.
Although its strength is far inferior to the civil servant group, it is even less powerful than the power represented by Li Shanchang.
But I am also capable enough to stand firm and make my own voice.
After all, they hold the country's purse strings, and everyone except the officials will look at their faces.
The civil servant group remained silent again. With Li Shanchang suppressing them, they did not dare to blatantly attack the group of planners.
As for using small means in private...
Small tricks can only disgust people and cannot change the overall situation.
After Qiu Guang'an got what he wanted, he immediately led a group of enthusiastic planners to start formulating a complete ladder tax collection plan.
It only took four days for the plan to be finalized.
After Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed it, he issued it for nationwide implementation.
"The new policy was circulated throughout the country within one month, and was officially implemented two months later."
"Those who push the envelope and obstruct others, and those who violate the rules will be severely punished."
This time, no one objected, at least there was no objection in the court.
It remains to be seen whether there will be local resistance.
Just when the civil servant group thought that the court's attention had shifted to the stepped tax collection and there would be no more trouble.
Li Shanchang took action again to impeach Dali Temple officials for their negligence.
The evidence is the massive backlog of cases.
There is a backlog of these cases, some of which are indeed suspicious, and some of which are intentional.
After the independence of the judiciary, one needs to pass the Criminal Examination to serve as a judicial officer.
Therefore, the new judges are basically people who are proficient in the law.
When they hear cases, they tend to favor 'enforcing the law in accordance with the law'.
But as we all know, there was no modern spirit of rule of law in ancient times, and rule by man was the most common.
The basis of 'rule by man' is Confucian ethics.
Then the question arises, what should we do if the results of judicial decisions according to law often conflict with Confucian ethics?
With the crude laws of ancient times, it is absolutely normal for this situation to occur.
In the past, when this happened, Dali Temple would send the case back and re-sentence it.
Even if the two parties have different opinions, it is an internal conflict and they can just be discussed.
But now that the judiciary is independent, there are always a few stupid people.
Even if I want to sentence you according to the law, I won’t change it even if you call me back.
Things just froze.
What Dali Temple is thinking here is that if your arms can't twist your thighs, and you don't listen to me, I'll find an opportunity to change you.
Things will be solved naturally.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and Li Shanchang came back.
These deliberately backlogged cases have become evidence of their lazy administration.
Zhu Yuanzhang directly gave the result: Since you want to be lazy, then just stop being an official and go home and rest however you like.
But before dismissing him, let Jin Yiwei investigate first.
Only those with clean foundations are eligible to retire, while those with unclean foundations should go to jail.
So Dali Temple was also empty.
Li Shanchang immediately selected some people from the judicial system to enter Dali Temple to fill the vacancies.
Unlike the group of accounting officers who actively pursue control of the household department, the group of judicial officers actually have no intention of going out independently.
They don't want this hot potato, at least most people don't want it.
But the situation is not up to anyone, and the imperial court is forcing them to become independent. It is impossible not to accept this hot potato.
But these alone are still not enough to make the judiciary truly independent.
Although the court has been calling for judicial independence and freedom from external interference.
"However, as His Majesty said, Confucianism has controlled these yamen for too long."
"It cannot be solved by the court shouting a few words or appointing a few officials."
"It requires an independent thought to support it in order to be able to do it."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked confused, what the hell? What more thoughts are needed?
Zhu Biao said thoughtfully: "Is that why you wanted to use the judicial system to revive Legalism?"
This was the first time Li Shanchang heard about this matter. In the past, he would have directly attacked it.
Do you know what Legalism is?
Although Legalism also has the word "法", it is completely different from justice.
But after experiencing so much, he also learned to control his temper.
So he reminded me in a slightly gentle tone: "Legalism is a very grand idea, not weaker than Confucianism."
"It is difficult to revive Legalism by relying on judicial officers."
Chen Jingke naturally understood this truth and said: "What the Korean Government said is true. It is almost impossible to revive Legalism by relying on judicial officers."
Zhu Biao became even more confused and said, "Then why did you..."
Chen Jingke explained: "There was no other way at that time..."
At that time, he was just an ordinary time traveler and had little experience in running a country.
There is no systematic plan for reform, we can only think of one thing and do the same thing.
Looking back now, many of my ideas were naive.
The independence of the judicial system is one of them.
Without independent ideological support, the theoretical basis used by the judiciary is still Confucian, and independence is impossible.
Now, it's time to improve this shortcoming.
"Although Legalism is different from justice, it pays more attention to rules than other schools of thought."
"This kind of thinking can actually be applied to the judicial system."
As a successor of Legalism, Li Shanchang immediately became interested and asked, "I wonder what Chen Bandu has to say?"
Chen Jingke said: "I don't dare to take my views seriously, they are just some scattered ideas that are useless."
"Legalism emphasizes that 'rewards must be punished, supplemented by rituals'. I think this article can be the foundation of justice."
Li Shanchang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but said: "Okay, okay, trustworthy, rewards must be punished to win the trust of others."
"Only by strictly abiding by the law in the judiciary can the majesty of the law be enhanced and the people be frightened... Chen Ban read his opinion."
Chen Jingke couldn't help but admire him. Li Shanchang was indeed the master of Legalism in this era.
Just a simple reminder can remind you of so much.
But limited by the times, he still couldn't break away from the stereotypes of his predecessors.
Chen Jingke followed his words and continued: "I expanded these eight words to a new idea, rule of law."
Li Shanchang asked: "Rule of law?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Xiongying also looked puzzled. What do you mean?
Chen Jingke explained: “There are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated.”
Zhu Yuanzhang and the other three were still confused, what the hell?
However, Li Shanchang was shocked and lost the ability to speak.
-
Just when the civil service group thought that the emperor's attack was over, Jiang Yu came up with a thick stack of confessions.
They were all recruited by officials who were sent to prison.
Again, few officials can withstand investigation.
The difference is how greedy you are and whether your superiors want to hold you accountable.
Now that he is in prison, these evidences will come out at the first trial.
And those people also bitten out more officials.
There are some from the central government and some from local officials.
After getting the confession, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped acting.
Dozens of people with relatively serious crimes were directly sent to prison, while the rest were treated differently.
I will give you an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, work hard to implement the New Deal, and let bygones be bygones.
Otherwise, all of them will be sent to prison.
