Jinyi Night Walk

The era of Jianwen, like fireworks, ended in just four years.

The new dynasty, the era of Yongle has come.Although its enthronement ceremony was crude because of the haste, and because of the haste, there were no congratulations from the barbarians and no kings came to court, but it was a new beginning after all.

In Fengtian Hall, Yan Wang Zhu Di was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, sitting majestically on the throne. The princes, princes, fathers and military officials gathered together. When those old officials saw Zhu Di sitting at the head, they had an illusion in a trance. It seems... 30 years ago, Emperor Hongwu, who had just expelled the Tartars and rebuilt China, came back again.

At that time, Emperor Hongwu was also of the same age, appearance, self-confidence, and vigor. Although there was a short-lived dynasty in the middle, it seemed that Emperor Yongle was the one who took the survivors of Hongwu and ushered in a new era. the Son of Heaven.

Mu En, who had already been promoted to a senior eunuch, held the seal with both hands and raised it high above his head. All the officials knelt down and shouted long live.

After accepting the congratulations from all the officials, Zhu Di opened his arms and said majesticly: "Everyone is flat!"

All the officials knelt three times and kowtowed nine times. After performing the salute, they got up from the ground one after another and stood in silence in the class.

Zhu Di stood up slowly, his eyes swept over the faces of his father, military officials, honored officials and ministers, and he said loudly: "I have no morals, and it is embarrassing to be responsible, but my father, military officials tried my best to persuade me to protect the ancestral temple and the country." , I have no choice but to follow the wishes of the people and become the great treasure of the foundation."

The officials bowed again: "Long live!"

However, Zhu Di and Zhu Yunqi are obviously two ways of playing. His enthronement ceremony didn't have many formalities and etiquette that made people dizzy. As soon as he was enthroned, Zhu Di began to govern vigorously and vigorously.

"Since I am the emperor today, I should seek the government of the emperor. Princes and ministers, civil and military officials, should work together to assist me! If there are criminals who commit crimes, and those who cannot serve the king or comfort the people, follow In the Legal Affairs Department, or anyone who has a different opinion, no matter what position they occupy, I will punish them severely and never forgive them!"

The old officials of Beiping, who were used to Zhu Di's words, were standing there. The officials in Beijing almost fainted after hearing Zhu Di's tone: "We have become emperors, why are we still talking about each other, you have to!"

However, Zhu Di, the emperor, is obviously not the same as Zhu Yunqi, and there is no Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru who teach him what it is to say that Di dislikes his father's lies.

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he waved his hand to another senior eunuch, the eunuch dog in Yanwang's mansion who followed him through life and death, and the dog stood still under the imperial steps, and slowly unfolded Zhu Di's imperial edict.

This imperial edict was written by the great talent Xie Jin. The content is more than a beautiful one. More importantly, he used the most concise and powerful language to describe how Emperor Jianwen was instigated by treacherous officials to change the legacy of his ancestors. How to be forced to raise troops to calm down, today we must restore the principle of the ancestral system.These words must be said, because the implication of these words is that Emperor Yongle inherited the mantle of Emperor Taizu Hongwu, and he did not recognize the legitimacy of Zhu Yunqi's actions in the past four years.

This decree, from the very beginning, declares that this year will be the 35th year of Hongwu, and the following year will be the first year of Yongle, that is to say, the four-year rule of Jianwen will not be recognized.Immediately afterwards, it was announced that all the laws and systems of Hongwu, the founding emperor and Taizu, would be restored, and all things that were merged with the government and counties and changed official names in accordance with the Zhou rituals would all be changed back to the old system of Hongwu.

This punch made everyone dizzy, the imperial edict was announced, and the officials just let go.I was so angry that I thought that today's grand ceremony would be followed by an announcement to the ancestors, a whole set of red tape, and I didn't want the dog to hand over the edict to Mu En, followed by another imperial edict.

This imperial decree is about the arrangement of personnel, and it is obviously the content that everyone is most concerned about. The father, military and military officials immediately cheered up and listened attentively.

First of all, the funeral arrangements for Emperor Jianwen, the empress and the crown prince. The funeral was held according to the etiquette system of the emperor and prince. Give Emperor Jianwen a posthumous title.

Immediately afterwards, it was an arrangement for the kings who had been cracked down by Emperor Jianwen for four years.

The posthumous title given to this uncle by Zhu Bo, the King of Hunan, and Zhu Yunwen was changed from Di to "Liu" to be the King of Xiangxian.The tomb of King Xiang was burnt to death by a family of young and old, and many palace servants and servants died with them. Originally, they were simply buried together and a large tomb was built. Zhu Di also announced that the bones were picked up again. He was buried solemnly, and because the lineage of the king of Xiang had died, a temple official was specially appointed to guard the temple.

Some of Jianwen's old ministers originally wanted to beg Zhu Di to give Emperor Jianwen a posthumous title, otherwise, after all, he was a generation of emperors without a posthumous title, which would be too shabby. According to Zhu Bo's arrangement, he immediately shut up and stopped talking.Compared to Zhu Yunxuan's unkindness to the deceased, it seems easy to accept not granting a posthumous title. If he wanted to grant a posthumous title, Baobuqi Emperor Yongle would give him some ugly posthumous title.

Afterwards, the king of Zhou returned to the feudal kingdom of Kaifeng and returned to Kaifeng. King Qi and King Dai were also released from prison respectively. Nanchang, Nanchang is much more prosperous than the bitter cold place outside the Great Wall, and being a vassal king there is obviously much more comfortable than being outside the Great Wall.

But one thing is, King Ning is outside the Great Wall, because he is close to Mongolia, and for the need of guarding the frontier, he can control [-] fine pangs, but in Nanchang, except for the three guards pang horses, it is impossible to have such a large military power.

Before everyone tasted it, the main event came. The rewards and arrangements for the officials below the kings began.First of all, it is naturally the hero of the Beiping family who has the merits of the dragon. No. 1 is the general Zhang Yu who thought that Zhu Di was trapped in a heavy siege in the first battle of Dongchang, and fought bravely, so that he was trapped in the enemy camp. A meritorious official, posthumously presented to the Duke of England, posthumously named Zhongxian, and granted the title of King Zhongwu of Hejian.

The second one is Master Daoyan, who first advocated Jingnan and assisted his son in guarding Beiping for four years. Master Daoyan's secular name was Yao Guangxiao, and he was officially appointed as the Prince's Shaoshi, and he was granted the title of Duke Rong; the third was Xu Zengshou, who was granted the title of Duke Ding; The first is Qiu Fu, named Duke of Qi; the fifth is Zhu Neng, named Duke of the State; the sixth is Yang Xu, named Duke of Fu.The above six princes are all Fengtian Jingnan Pushing Sincerity Xuanli Wuchen Special Jin Ronglu Doctor, Youzhu Kingdom, Shilu [-] Shilu, hereditary descendants.

No one knows the first five, but many people don't know who this Yang Xu is. He was granted the title of hereditary Duke. Standing there, but someone made a slight movement, and felt a commotion.However, the officials of the Peking Department, especially the senior officials of the Peking Department, looked calm and calm.

What credit does Yang Xu have?The imperial court secretly ordered the arrest of the King of Yan, and the commander of Peiping sent Zhang Xin to report a letter to the King of Yan. The letter was from Duke Xun. , Rescue King Yan once more, and then save the son of King Yan and the two princes. In the first battle of Baigouhe, he planned a strategy and wisely broke Li Jinglong's commander-in-chief, so that the southern army was defeated. Saved the life of King Yan, sneaked into Nanjing City to grasp the confidential information, made King Yan burn ten thousand boats of food and grass gathered in Pei County, and persuaded Chen Hun to surrender, so that the Northern Army had countless warships to cross the river calmly, and the world would be determined in one battle. Isn't his credit enough to qualify as a duke?

The people who can stand on this golden palace are all good people. Seeing that the high-ranking officials of the Peking Department all took it for granted, although the others didn't know the details, they stopped complaining and just listened patiently. Unexpectedly, they finished listening. When the rewards from the officials of the Beiping Department were granted to the old ministers of Jianwen, the first one was Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, and the officials could not help but be in an uproar.

To be honest, this Li Jinglong's reputation is really not very good. Of course, most of the former officials of Jianwen looked down on him, and the civil servants and military generals of the Beiping department also looked down on him. Qianshi is hereditary, is there any reason for this?Just because he opened the city gate once?

This time the commotion was even bigger than hearing Yang Xufeng's commotion, because this time it was mainly the heroes of the Beiping faction who expressed their dissatisfaction. Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, smiled slightly, and didn't care.

Next, Ru Chang, who first advocated persuasion, also received a great reward. Ru Chang was named Feng Tianyi Yunshou Zhengfu, Special Jin Rong Lu Doctor, Zhu Guo, Prince Shao Bao, Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhong Zhong Bo, Shi Lu A thousand stones.

Zhu Di gave them big rewards, of course he has his reasons, except that these people have always been the leaders of the peace talks in the Jianwen Dynasty, and later burned the food and grass in Pei County, opened the Jinchuan Gate, and entered Jinling City with minimal casualties. Credit, and more importantly, these two people are representatives of Jianwen's old ministers and courtiers.

Zhu Di didn't want to go to war, he hoped that people's hearts could be stabilized as soon as possible, and the court could be stabilized as soon as possible.To govern such a big world, it is impossible to rely solely on the generals he brought from Beiping. The scene outside the Chaoyang Gate deeply touched him, whether it was the surrender or the old ministers of Jianwen who went with the flow to welcome the new lord , he hoped to give them a clear signal: As long as you support me, I will let the past go, treat everyone equally, and will never treat anyone badly.

Therefore, Zhu Di sat at the head of the many heroes and veterans who followed him to look aggrieved, so he had no choice but to pretend that he had never seen it.

This edict was eloquent, and it took the longest time to read it. When the edict was announced, no matter what thoughts the officials had, they all relaxed.Qi, because the ceremony of welcoming the new monarch in the Golden Palace is finally over.Unexpectedly, Zhu Di, like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, is also a workaholic. The civil and military officials stared wide-eyed, watching Zhongguan Gouer pick up the third edict: "..., Su Song Sifu, Fu Hongwu tax. Where there are floods and droughts in the four directions, the tax is exempted, and there is no disaster in a good year, and those who have poor land should also be exempted from tax. In the case of famine, all the people are exempted from the two taxes, and the local government must first open warehouses to relieve the people, and then report to the court The Metropolitan Procuratorate sent inspectors to inspect the localities. Those who concealed disasters and did not report them, and those who did not provide relief, were arrested and dealt with. At the beginning of the new dynasty, local governments should especially appease the soldiers and civilians. Those who commit adultery and corruption should be arrested and punished for serious crimes! Beijing officials Above seven ranks, foreign officials and county magistrates and above, each will nominate one person, and they will be promoted according to their ability, and if there is corruption, they will even sit down!"

Unexpectedly, on the day Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, he promulgated a government edict. The focus of this edict was on the administration of officials and anti-corruption.

Yongle Yuji issued three major imperial edicts. The first one was to completely overturn the old policies of Jianwen, which was courageous; It has a bit of the taste of iron and blood when Taizu was alive.Following Jianwen's "four years of lenient government and severe frost", officials with unclean hands and feet seem to feel the rustling autumn again...,! ~!
