Ming politicians

When he was about to reach the Huangji Hall, Su Tiancheng felt that something was wrong, the voice coming from the front was a bit loud, and such a situation should not have happened.

When Zhu Shenxuan was about to speak, Su Tiancheng quickened his pace and walked towards Huangji Hall. Zhu Shenxuan had no choice but to trot all the way to follow behind. After being in power for a long time, Zhu Shenxuan walked in a different posture , Most of the time, I pace slowly, which is convenient for thinking and can cover up my emotions. The only exception is walking with the emperor. The emperor always walks in a hurry, and the steps are very fast, as if he is always worried about not having enough time.

Zhu Shenxuan even vaguely reminded the emperor that there is a saying among the people that if you walk like a trot, your life must be bad. Who knew that the emperor immediately refuted it, saying that this was caused by the idea of ​​the official standard, because the official steps are for the sake of showing dignity and putting on airs. It's just slow and leisurely, ordinary people walk, who bothers to walk slowly.

Before the emperor appeared in the main hall, the surroundings instantly became quiet.

Liu Tiehan, the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the General of the Forbidden Army, came to Su Tiancheng with sweat on his face.

"Your Majesty, Lord Liu brought many envoys from the Western Regions into the palace, and his subordinates stopped them, but Lord Liu said that these envoys were all here to visit the emperor. These envoys entered the palace without knowing the rules and making a lot of noise. The subordinates were teaching them a lesson just now. them."

Liu Tiehan clasped his fists in salute.

The Jin court abolished the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping a long time ago. Of course, it does not mean that there is no kneeling ceremony among the people. Under normal circumstances, there is only the etiquette of kneeling and worshiping between the elders and the younger generation. As for the court, there is no such thing. Ordinary people don't need to bow down when they see officials, it's just such etiquette.It is still being promoted slowly, mainly some elderly people have long been accustomed to bowing down, especially when they see officials, they will kneel down unconsciously, and the younger people have long followed the rules of the court .There is no such thing as kneeling when seeing an official.

Su Tiancheng looked at the square outside the main hall, there were indeed many blond people, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette were maintaining order, but when Su Tiancheng's figure appeared, these people quickly became chaotic, thinking of rushing over to worship.

Su Tiancheng was very strange, looking at Zhu Shenxuan beside him, which song is this singing, so many years have passed.Dajin's tentacles have already extended to all parts of the world. If you say that you have exploited a lot of wealth, otherwise there would not be such a huge development. Dajin's banks have opened all over the world, sucking up funds. Currency is in circulation all over the world, and people all over the world work hard.Part of the fruits of labor were contributed to the Jin Dynasty.

With these gains.Su Tiancheng didn't care at all whether countries came to visit him or not. After so many years, there were only three changes. The first was that North Korea officially became a part of the Jin Dynasty. The court established Pyongyang and Seoul in North Korea. These places young people.All of them are learning Chinese and the Four Books and Five Classics, taking the imperial examinations of the Jin court, and becoming officials in the court and various places in the Jin Dynasty. The second is Jianzhou, which was originally controlled by the Hou Jin Tartars, and slowly began to develop.A large number of Han people immigrated to these places, and many cities were built, including many ordinary people in North Korea. Privileges, the third is the changes in the grasslands. There are more cities on the grasslands. Apart from the nomads, many Han people have also moved to the grasslands. Most of them are merchants. Wherever there is money, there are merchants. The nomads in the grassland also depend on the city. They go to the city to buy their daily necessities, food, housing and transportation. The customs of life are gradually sinicized.

Many officials in the imperial court also understood this truth. The prosperity of the dynasty is not achieved by shouting or bragging about it. It needs real achievements and the real prosperity of the common people. .

The imperial court paid attention to the development of naval forces and completely controlled the shipping and shipping in the world. In the 13th year of the Great Jin Dynasty, a war broke out between Spain and Portugal in the Western Regions. It also required the embassies and naval forces stationed in the local area to dispatch a heavy blow to the naval forces on both sides, and announced a one-year economic sanction against the two countries, prohibiting their merchants from doing business with Dajin. They collapsed, and finally they sent the so-called prime minister to the capital to plead guilty and implore the court to lift the sanctions.

Of course, not to mention some of the nearby sea areas, the Jin court seems to be the chief referee, and if there is any conflict, it will directly make a judgment. If anyone dares to be unconvinced, or makes trouble in private, it will be the fate of collapse, and the common people of the country will also die. Then suffer.

The classic battle is to attack Japan.

A small number of people in Japan believe that Japan has inherited the orthodox Confucian thought since the Han and Tang Dynasties. They propose that they can become assistants to the Jin court to help manage many international affairs. Of course, no matter how arrogant these people are, they will not Dare to say that he is the boss, the strength of the Jin court is there, and Japan can't stand it if he moves his fingers.

I don’t know why, this point of view is not a big mistake, but it provoked the emperor to be furious and asked the navy stationed in Dengzhou, Songjiang and other places to dispatch. The navy is the most elite navy of the Jin Dynasty, and it is invincible. Scholars who came to the Jin Dynasty once analyzed that even if the navy from all over the world is concentrated, it is no match for the Jinshui stationed in Dengzhou and Songjiang. divisions, and this does not include naval divisions stationed around the world.

The process of the Great Jin Navy’s attack on Japan was very simple. Within half a month, it occupied almost all the land along the coast of Japan. The Japanese royal family and the shogunate could not sit still for a long time. They were all arrested and made a special plea to the Jin court.

In fact, there are also many young people in Japan studying and studying in Dajin, and even many Japanese have taken the imperial examination and entered the imperial court as officials. On the one hand, these people pleaded with the imperial court, and on the other hand, the Japanese royal family and the shogunate pleaded guilty , In the end, the Dajin Navy withdrew its troops.

Although the Great Jin Navy captured a lot of places, it will never move the people, and there will be no massacre or destruction of houses. The Japanese imperial family and the shogunate are grateful, and respectfully offered compensation, expressing their eternal gratitude. Obey the leadership of the Jin court, and never dare to have two hearts.

More than ten years have passed. Among the five prime ministers, Fan Jingwen, 72, and Yang Sichang, 71, have all retired. Hong Chengchou, 66, has become the second assistant of the cabinet. Pu became the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in charge of the supervision of officials. The 57-year-old Lu Xiangsheng became a cabinet scholar, a governor, and became one of the five prime ministers, fully controlling the army. became the prime minister.

The most unexpected thing is Wu Sangui, who became the governor and led the army to station along the coast of Fujian for a long time. You must know that with Wu Sangui's qualifications, it is impossible to become the governor.

The regulations of the Jin court are clear. The prime minister’s age limit is 70 years old. At this age, he must serve as an official. The age limit for officials above the third rank is 65 years old. Officials, the retirement age is 62 years old, and the rest are all 60 years old, and receive full salary after they become official.

There is also a time for retirement in the army. The retirement age for governors and generals above the third rank is limited to 70 years old. In special circumstances, it can be extended appropriately. After all, in the army, the prestige of generals is not ordinary. For military officers, the age limit for retirement is 65 years old, and for officers below the fifth rank, the age limit is 60 years old, unless they are promoted.

Officers and non-commissioned officers are treated very well. After retiring, the salaries received by officers are slightly less, which is similar to that of civilian officials. Regarding the issue of high salaries in the army, the court has discussed several times, but the emperor solved the problem with one word. The soldiers are used for a while, and once encountering a war, the sergeants must rush forward, and they may die, so their treatment must be higher.

Because the age of becoming an official and retiring is stipulated, officials, including military officers, are highly mobile, which can keep the court and the army sufficiently dynamic, and some newcomers will continue to enter.

Whether it is Yang Sichang and Fan Jingwen who have already retired, or the prime ministers such as Zhu Shenxuan, Hong Chengchou, Zhang Pu, Lu Xiangsheng, and Zhou Yanru, they all raised the issue of coming to the court from all nations. This is not a question of many prime ministers thinking about face. , After so many years, they have already known that face can't be eaten, but it is still useful for real benefits. The imperial court almost controls the whole world through banks and banknotes, so there is no need for them to engage in worship matters. But people always ask, ask to come to worship, and the best time is New Year's.

This time, in fact, many prime ministers discussed it. Zhu Shenxuan made the decision to agree to all countries to come to the capital to worship. They did not report this matter to the emperor. This is not a big matter related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. .

So this was the scene that Su Tiancheng saw. Envoys from hundreds of countries or castles came to the capital to pay homage, and the number of people reached more than [-].

Zhu Shenxuan beside him explained the situation in detail.

After learning about the situation, Su Tiancheng finally understood why he could hear the sound from far away. Tens of thousands of people gathered in the square in front of Huangji Hall. It was impossible to be quiet even if he thought about it. Anxious, there are too many people, he is afraid of accidents, of course he is anxious.
