golden scales

Back then Chongzhen was the emperor, Zhu Cihong was the crown prince, father was superior to son, it was impossible to have such communication today.

When it comes to Zhu Cihong and Zhu Hegui, the difference in age and experience is like mountains and seas, and it is really difficult to communicate frankly.Zhu Cihong has discovered that many of Zhu Hegui's character defects are caused by his own involvement in education, so he dare not correct it easily.

Empress Duan also discovered Zhu Cihong's different attitudes towards the two sons, but she didn't believe that the emperor would abolish the prince.From her point of view, instead, she should be worried that the emperor sent the younger sons far away in order to ensure the stability of the crown prince.

"Since Emperor Qin, there really hasn't been an emperor who loves the prince as much as the emperor." Duan said to the concubines who came to see him.

Because there have been bad rumors in the capital recently, saying that the emperor is very dissatisfied with the crown prince for leaking the secrets in the palace.

It is the clear account of the royal assets.

Royal assets are not actually classified.

According to the Company Law of Ming Dynasty, companies with a turnover exceeding a certain amount must disclose their financial status to the public, just like listed companies in later generations.Although there is no stock exchange and stock market yet, traditional firms have issued commercial paper for hundreds of years. In Zhu Cihong's view, it can be regarded as the prototype of stocks. Of course, it is necessary to establish a publicity system.

What's more, this system has natural advantages in tax collection and auditing. It is not only convenient for the government to check, but also convenient for competitors to report!

When these companies announce their financial statements, the royal family is their shareholder.Of course it will also appear above.Just put in a little work.You can easily grasp the basic data of royal assets.The key is that this information was summarized in the palace, and it was summarized by Lu Suyao to the Crown Prince as a female official in the palace, not as a public document of the court summarized by Sheren Keyinjun.

Under such circumstances, the Crown Prince gave it to Huang Zongxi, and Huang Zongxi "accidentally" let his friends see it, which seemed a bit displeasing.

Especially the emperor's hard-core loyal ministers were very unhappy.

The crown prince himself had little contact with these loyal ministers.Especially Jinyiwei and Dongchang.His identity was already sensitive, and the crown prince had not yet realized the importance of intelligence agencies to power.The crown prince prefers to associate with the Hanlin who are not valued, and always feels that he can learn knowledge, taste, and life principles from them.

How can this tendency reassure those hard-core emperors who have made official careers with skills?

Could it be that after a hundred years, Daming will go back to the old road before the national change?

Not only are technocrats not happy to see it, officials with new academic background are not happy to see it, even the main political faction represented by Wu Sheng is not happy to see it.

Why?

Because the ruling faction knows very well that the current system implemented by the emperor is really convenient for them to develop their family power.

According to the difficulty of the imperial examination before the national change.If you want a Jinshi, you have to bury your ancestral grave well.But now?All he needed was for his son to be a little bit more aggressive, and after finishing the new school, there would always be a decent position waiting for him.

If the future emperor gets closer to the Hanlins and returns to the game rules of "non-Jinshi, no high-ranking official, non-Hanlin, no cabinet", who will suffer the most?Isn't it a royalist party without the protection of imperial examinations?

"The crown prince needs to learn the way of governing the country from capable ministers and officials. He should not mix with people who talk all day long."

This call even made it into the newspapers.It became a wave of criticizing the crown prince.

Society is also a part of nature, and where there is action, there will be reaction. The Hanlin around the Crown Prince are not vegetarians, so they will naturally resist.All of them are well-educated and have a natural advantage in writing, and the royalists dare not openly say that it is for their own interests.

All of a sudden, the capital became lively, and more and more people began to stand in line and join the dispute between the two factions.

If it was before the national change, there must be memorials flying all over the sky at this moment.The quarrel was so intense that the next step was to attack dissidents during the Jingchao period and exile the failed party.

Fortunately, the disputes are limited to newspapers, and the DPRK and China are more restrained.

The Hanlin Party knew very well that if they really wanted to make a scene in the court, the emperor Long Yan would be furious, and all the officials would target their clean streams, and they would have no place to stand.On the contrary, many vassal kings hope to make trouble in front of the emperor, which may be able to find a breakthrough for the increasingly tightened clan law.

"In the past, all the vassals were enfeoffed and could not move around. Now that they are in the capital, the Tian family should also move around with each other." Princess Jin, who represented a large part of the vassal kings, said: "It is the crown prince who has more contacts with his cousins. The reason why the ancestors built the fan screen."

Duan's family did not object to his son's association with the Imperial Academy.She prefers the clean stream of the Hanlin Academy, which makes people feel more comfortable than those bureaucrats who talk about profit all day long.

"The children of the various feudal clans may not be free." Duan said coldly: "By the way, all the children of your family who are supposed to serve in the military have all done it now, right?"

No matter what you say, the "Clan Law" cannot be abolished!

Duan secretly said in his heart.

The princesses fell silent immediately, laughing and preparing to retreat.

No matter how strict the "Clan Law" is, life will still be like that after all.And it's nothing more than restricting land and privileges. If you invest with Royal Baohedian, the benefits of business and industry are far greater than the benefits of land, and there is nothing wrong with it.The key is that the "Clan Law" has too high requirements on the clan's children.

If you can't study hard, you have to join the army.

Princess Jin smiled and said: "Your nephew has already returned from the military service, and he is quite strong."

Princess Jin's second son, Zhu Xinkan, finally survived five years of military service, retired as a sergeant, and returned home safely - only his left arm would ache in the rainy days, which was the root cause of his self-mutilation to avoid military service.

Knowing that this is a model for the royal family, Duan said: "It's so good, his title of county king is solid, and His Majesty will never forget that he has contributed to his family and country."

Hearing this, the princesses have already felt like a mirror in their hearts, and they will sit for a while and wait to go home.

Duan sent these relatives away, sat for a while, and suddenly asked: "What's the news from Dongchang and Jinyiwei?"

Immediately, a maid stepped forward and said, "Go back to your mother, the emperor passed Xu Dun, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Ding Ao, the eunuch of the East Factory, into the study at noon today. It took a quarter of an hour before they were released. Those two were disgraced, presumably because they were punished." rebuke."

The documents in the palace leaked out, Jinyiwei and Dongchang must be in charge.Dongchang is targeting domestic intelligence security, which is within their scope of responsibility.Jin Yiwei is directly related to the army, as long as it involves the Tian family, he has to take care of it.

Only this time they were being aggressive.

It is clearly written in the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun": Even if the crown prince really committed a crime, the Secretary cannot intervene. The emperor can only recall him and ask him personally.

This time Zhu Cihong also made it very clear that even if Yousi wanted to investigate, he should investigate Huang Zongxi and his friend, which had nothing to do with the crown prince.To put it more simply, it is not a crime to have such a piece of information, but it is a bit ulterior motives to spread it deliberately.

"How do they plan to use the crown prince? How do they use this account? Who is involved? How is it related to each other? Is there a program? These are the things you should investigate!" Zhu Cihong told Xu Dun and Ding Ao Lianzhu Asking questions like that, obviously not happy.

This time Xu Dun understood that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to want to screen out a group, and this kind of tone was obviously only used when a major party dispute was created.

"After finding out, monitor it, don't use torture, don't go too far." Zhu Cihong made a conclusion.

It is certain that these people will unite, but Zhu Cihong does not believe that the crown prince will consciously form his own team—unless he is also reincarnated.However, mastering these people has one of the biggest benefits, to promote the reform of production relations in a targeted manner, either to divide or subdue, and to avoid the waste of social resources caused by confrontation.

Perhaps this kind of thinking is too gentle, and the effect will not be immediate, but Daming is a giant ship after all, and it takes time and patience to turn it around.

The leakage of the account books is a blessing in disguise.

The biggest shock of the ten years of Longjing to the people of the capital was that the emperor's family was so rich, and Nanyang, Australia, Northeast China, Hetao, and the Americas were able to bring such huge dividends that the royal family even abandoned domestic manors and cultivated land.With the royal family taking the lead, whether they understand it or not, people still follow suit and invest their property in education, scientific research, and overseas colonies.

As for the field of mineral energy, legislation is currently being made within the court, and the general direction is nationalization. Only the royal family is eligible to buy shares, and families chartered by the royal family—such as the family of honored relatives. Even so, their shareholding ratio should not exceed 30.00% .

In October of the tenth year of Longjing, the Ministry of War received the latest notification from the Northwest.Xiao Mo has already brought more than [-] soldiers from the First Guards Army, Second Army, and Cavalry Army to the ancient city of Turkestan, effectively protecting Sengge and Turubaihu from retreating, and blocking the further eastward advance. Oros and Kazakhs.

At the same time, Xiao Mo also sent the Long Army led by Dang Shousu to the Altai region north of Luntai to ensure that the entire Tianshan chief envoy would not be invaded.According to the map appointed by the Holy Majesty, Kashgar is the western border of Tianshan Province. As long as the enemy army does not arrive in Kashgar, the Ming army will still keep the enemy out of the country.

Once something happens in Kashgar, regardless of victory or defeat, Xiao Mo will inevitably be held accountable for defending the land.

……

"The Oros people have a lot of ambitions. Judging from their momentum, they must want to invade Turkestan. The staff thinks that this place is easy to attack and difficult to defend..."

Xiao Mo listened carefully to Chief of Staff Yang Wei's report, and did not have any doubts about this young think tank.This is also his trust in His Majesty the Emperor, and he never believes that His Majesty will be mistaken.However, when he heard the words "easy to attack and difficult to defend", Xiao Mo didn't take it seriously, and felt that the chief of staff was still too immature. He only started from the military, and he didn't think about the pressure of public opinion brought about by losing Turkestan and letting the enemy troops approach the border. .

"It's a good battlefield to lure the enemy in." Yang Wei suddenly made a 180-degree turn, which surprised Xiao Mo. (to be continued~^~)
