My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 304 Pies will really fall from the sky

   Zhu Di must discuss with Yao Guangxiao whenever there is an important matter.

   And Jin Zhong is a gift, probably, Master Yao is here, so Jin Qing's family should come too.

   Of course, this is not that Jin Zhong is unimportant.

   It is Jin Zhong who is not good at putting forward constructive opinions. Compared with Yao Guangxiao, he is more honest.

  Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong came to see Zhu Di, first they saluted.

  Zhu Di looked at the two of them, smiled and said, "Master Yao already knows about the hunt, right?"

  Yao Guangxiao said: "It's amazing."

  Zhu Di saw that Yao Guangxiao didn't look surprised at all, so he couldn't help but said, "Master Yao isn't surprised?"

   "Since this kid can burn relics, I won't be surprised by what he does." Yao Guangxiao was very calm.

  For a monk, even the Buddha can be deceived, what else can't be done?

  Zhu Di nodded to him, and then expressed his thoughts.

  Yao Guangxiao pondered: "What your majesty is worried about is that, to be honest, even the poor monk did not expect such a thing to be produced in the world. The poor monk was in Beiping with his majesty, and he was deeply impressed by this."

   "Go ahead." Zhu Di sat down and took a sip of tea.

So Yao Guangxiao said: "In the beginning, during the Han Dynasty, military horses began to be equipped with stirrups. Within a hundred years, iron cavalry of all ethnic groups in the desert had stirrups. After that, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Ming Dynasty began to have firearms and catapults. The desert Among them, the Khitan, Jurchen, and Tatars also began to use firearms one after another. When the Tatars were at their strongest, they integrated behind them, recruited a large number of craftsmen, made large-scale firearms and return cannons, and used them to attack cities. Kill all directions. In the eyes of the Central Plains, the Tatars may be just barbarians, but even the barbarians are like this, the world is so big, it will not be surprising if sharper firearms appear in the future."

After a pause, Yao Guangxiao went on to say: "Your Majesty is the hero, that's why you have this worry! But what about your Majesty's future? If in the future, most of His Majesty's descendants are successful rulers who don't want to make progress, then Daming may be in great danger situation."

  Zhu Di nodded again and again, this is what Zhu Di has always been worried about.

Yao Guangxiao continued: "Emperor Taizu Gao formulated many ancestral laws, and most of these established laws are still in use today. Some ancestral laws are very useful, but some... It's not that I am talking about Taizu Gao. Right or wrong, some established methods may be different now. If this is the case, then it is time to change the course."

   "Change the course?" Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and nodded subconsciously.

   "What the Qing family said makes sense..." Zhu Di took a deep breath.

   "But your majesty can't change the course." Yao Guangxiao said: "Changing the course is turning your back on your ancestors. If so, your majesty will lose his righteousness."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the one who can control the world despite difficulties."

  As soon as these words came out, the flesh on Zhu Di's face trembled.

   Yes, others can change course, but he cannot.

At the beginning, that kid Zhu Yunqi changed his course and directly withdrew the vassal, overthrowing many of the national policies of Emperor Taizu Gao. Zhu Di was driven to a desperate situation and raised troops to calm down. Abandoned Emperor Taizu Gao.

  It is always impossible now, he used this reason to become the emperor, and imitated Zhu Yunqi with great fanfare.

   Not to mention embarrassing face, this is tantamount to completely stripping oneself of the righteousness of the world.

  The greatest legitimacy of Zhu Di's abnormal succession is that he regards himself as the continuation of Emperor Taizu Gao, and he is the incarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao.

  Zhu Di thoughtfully said: "Then what should I do?"

  Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "As long as Wei Guogong does it, it will not be regarded as abandoning the ancestral system."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Yao Guangxiao said: "Since the Taiping Mansion is a capital, His Majesty should give young people some authority and let him implement his own ideas in Taiping Mansion. If it is done well, His Majesty should encourage it. If it is not done well..."

  Zhu Di interjected: "I will punish him?"

"You can't be punished." Yao Guangxiao said: "If you are punished because you did something wrong, then you will not dare to do things with all your heart. Doing such things that go against the wishes of scholars all over the world is already full of pressure. Not good, Your Majesty can pretend that there is no such person in this world, and there is no Taiping Mansion..."

  Zhu Di took a breath, good guy.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Everything does not need to be reported by Duke Wei. He can decide it himself and implement it. Taiping Mansion can set up official positions of seven ranks and below, and the imperial court does not ask. Above seven ranks to five ranks, they need to be reported to the East Palace. If it is above the fifth rank, it will be reported to His Majesty. In addition, among the military officials, if there are hundreds of hereditary families, the Taiping Mansion can make a decision on its own, and if it is more than a hundred hereditary families, that is, if it is a hereditary thousand families, then it needs to be reported to the East Palace."

Yao Guangxiao thought for a while, then continued to murmur: "The Yin Ya of the Taiping Mansion can make another law code, and this method is feasible in the Taiping Mansion. The six ministries and the officials are not allowed to intervene. The money and food of the Taiping Mansion... except 50% is handed over to the Ministry of Households. The rest of the money and food, The Fu Yin Ya can handle it on its own."

"Your Majesty, in this way, there will be personnel merit tests, money and food, and laws and regulations. With these, Zhang Anshi can do everything by himself. If it is done well, His Majesty can follow the good example and promote it in the future. If it is not done well , Big deal, let Duke Wei go back and obediently continue to take charge of his Nanzhen Fusi."

  Zhu Di stood up and began to pace, frowning slightly, lost in thought.

  At the beginning, Zhang Anshi was allowed to toss around in Taiping Mansion, and he had a lot of connivance, but now the decentralization of power is tantamount to setting up a country within a country.

  He mused, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

   After a while, he raised his head and said with a bit of concern: "I'm afraid that my will will cause an uproar in the world."

  Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "If that's the case, of course the world will be in an uproar. But what if... a bowl of water is flat?"

  Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "I found out that there was a censor who secretly paid ten thousand taels of silver for sesame oil to Qixia Temple. I also found out that this person's family was not rich. Where did the money come from? This censor... There must be something unspeakable."

  Zhu Di: "..."

   "As long as His Majesty grants permission, I will send someone to find this censor, threaten him, and teach him a memorial."

  Zhu Di said: "What memorial is on?"

  Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "Of course it's for the Ningguo Mansion."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Zhu Di couldn't understand, how could this have something to do with the Ningguo Mansion again?

Seeing Zhu Di's suspicion, Yao Guangxiao said, "If you fight for the Taiping Mansion, there will be an uproar, but if there is a censor who speaks for the Ningguo Mansion, he will say that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Jian Yi, has come to the Ningguo Mansion with his hands tied. The countermeasures, however, cannot be implemented because of the court's law, but the prestige of the Taiping Mansion, the Duke of Guo, has acted illegally, so the Taiping Mansion can take drastic measures, which is really unfair to Jian Gong."

  Zhu Di: "..."

Yao Guangxiao continued: "In this way, all the people in the world will definitely think that this censor must have been ordered by Duke Jian. Duke Jian is quite popular in the court, and he is also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He respects and fears him. What's more, all the scholars in the world hope that Mr. Jian can far surpass Taiping Mansion in Ningguo Mansion, so that people can know that this book of sages is not read for nothing."

Yao Guangxiao paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "Then this censor's memorial will definitely get the support of many ministers. Then...under the pressure of all the ministers, His Majesty had to consider, and finally, made a ruling to order the Ningguo Mansion , Taiping Mansion, can do things cheaply, and the ministries and officials are not allowed to intervene. All laws and regulations, personnel merit tests, money and food can be made to be decided by them. I am afraid that if His Majesty's decree comes out, not only will there be no uproar in the court, but the court and the public, Everyone applauds."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Yao Guangxiao said: "In this way, it does not make His Majesty abandon his ancestors to become a law, but also can test the effectiveness, and also has the support of the government and the public. This is killing three birds with one stone. It will benefit both the court and Your Majesty."

  Zhu Di glared at Yao Guangxiao: "Did you think about it a long time ago, or did you come up with it on the spur of the moment?"

Yao Guangxiao said very calmly: "People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries. In fact, these days, I have been thinking about how to solve these problems. Some things have long been clues, such as Zhang Anshi's workshops. Bigger and bigger, since ancient times, I have never heard of people who have made such contributions to the court, and they are still regarded as craftsmen, and they are ignored. Such things, once time passes, will inevitably cause accidents."

   Zhu Di thought of something, so he said: "So you have already found this censor?"

  Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, this is a chance meeting, a good fate. The so-called cause, there will be this fruit..."

  Zhu Di said: "How famous is this censor?"

   "Reputable and popular."

  Zhu Di nodded: "Can you threaten him?"

  Yao Guangxiao said: "If a minister goes out on a horse, moves it with emotion, and understands it with reason, he will play happily."

  Zhu Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned to look at Jin Zhong: "Why does Jin Qing keep silent?"

  Jin Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know much about fate."

   This is very interesting!

  Zhu Di: "..."

  He didn't know what to say for a while!

  Jin Zhong thought for a while and said, "I think... you can give it a try."

  Zhu Di nodded and said: "Master Yao will arrange this matter. Remember, it must be done cleanly."

  Yao Guangxiao said: "Yes."

   After talking about the business, the monarch and his subjects were in no mood to chat, so Yao Guangxiao and Yao Guangxiao left.

  Jin Zhong walked slowly, looking sullen.

  Yao Guangxiao said: "Benefactor Jin, what's wrong with you?"

  Jin Zhong smiled wryly and said, "I was wondering when did the censor offend you."

  Yao Guangxiao stared, resentful and said: "He would rather go to Qixia Temple to give alms than come to Jiming Temple."

  Jin Zhongdao: "Does Monk Yao think it is really necessary?"

   "These censors are trying to gain fame..."

   "No." Jin Zhong shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this, but... in the capital of my Ming Dynasty, set up two countries within a country..."

Yao Guangxiao suppressed the anger on his face, sighed and said: "In all dynasties and dynasties, if you don't change the past, you will suffer from it. During the process of Jingnan, if your majesty didn't know how to change things, how could you get here today? What the poor monk admires most about your majesty is The reason is that although his temper is stubborn and aggressive, once he finds something that is useful, he will definitely follow the trend and will never be imprisoned by the so-called etiquette."

"Only such a person can achieve great achievements. The situation today is the same. As long as the goal can be achieved, then any means can be used, as long as it does not harm the sky. Even if it is proved wrong one day, with His Majesty's ability , You can also backhand to bring things back to the original track."

  Jin Zhong took a serious look at Yao Guangxiao and said, "I understand."

  The two walked outside the palace gate and bid farewell to each other.

  Yao Guangxiao's work efficiency is very high.

  The next day, there was Chen Kun, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who played for Ning Guofu.

  As soon as this performance came out, it immediately aroused the vigilance of Manchao.

   Well done, this memorial is obviously not groundless, it must be that Duke Jian encountered some embarrassing things in the Taiping Mansion, but there are some things that Duke Jian is inconvenient to say, so it is natural to imply a certain censor's memorial.

  The movement of Ningguo Mansion has always affected people's hearts, mainly because what Zhang Anshi did in Taiping Mansion was too outrageous.

   Now it is the same enemy, and nine out of ten ministers in the court all support Mr. Jian, hoping to use Mr. Jian's hand to completely puncture the so-called 'myth' of the Taiping Mansion.

  After this memorial was delivered, Wenyuan Pavilion was not easy to deal with, and when drafting the bill, it was just asking His Majesty to make a decision.

   Zhu Di got this memorial, but he didn't like it, so he stayed in the middle school directly.

  Liuzhong means that I don't want to care about it, and I don't want to care about it, it's none of my business, it's none of your business.

   But it’s fine if you don’t stay in the middle school. Once you stay in the middle school, it will only increase the anxiety of the officials.

   It is obvious that Mr. Jian has encountered some difficulties in governance and needs to be untied by the court. What Mr. Jian wants to do must be benevolent government. If this benevolent government cannot be implemented, how can he suppress the Taiping government?

  So, someone was in a hurry.

  The next day, dozens of memorials floated into Wenyuan Pavilion like snowflakes.

  Then, the emperor ordered the court to discuss it.

  The result of the discussion was very smooth.

  Everyone knows that Zhang Anshi doesn’t follow the rules. He doesn’t follow the rules, but Mr. Jian is a gentleman.

   To solve it, you must let the gentleman be able to do things, and dare to do things.

  Under this one-sided attitude.

  In the end, a decree beyond the expectations of the ministers who wanted to bargain with everyone was finally released.

  As soon as this decree came out, it almost seemed that the imperial court wanted to set up two vassal states in Nanzhili.

   No, to a certain extent, the vassal state still needs to act according to the laws and regulations of the imperial court, but the Ningguo Mansion and the Taiping Mansion obviously can act on their own at the level of laws and regulations.

   This is actually the result of the one-sided support of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

   Zhu Di is obviously more like a character coerced by the ministers. He first stayed in the middle school, then had to negotiate with the court, and finally chose to compromise.

   All of a sudden, not to mention that Hu Guang couldn't understand it, even Yang Rong couldn't understand it either.

  Hu Guang was very excited, and said to Yang Rong: "Mr. Yang, I think...Mr. Jian is going to make a big move and make a big difference."

  Yang Rong: "..."

  Seeing Yang Rong pursed his lips and remained silent, Hu Guang asked strangely, "Why didn't Mr. Yang speak?"

  Yang Rongdao: "Jian Gong has always believed that the ancestors can make the law, as long as it is implemented properly, why did this action suddenly? This time, the old man can't understand."

Hu Guang looked very happy, stroked his beard and said: "A gentleman must first have a reputation for righteousness. If the name is not right, the words will not go well, and the words will not go well, and things will fail. Prosperity means that the punishment will not hit."

  Yang Rong: "..."

  ...

   Ningguo government office.

  Jian Yi has been here for several months.

  In the past few months, he has been very concerned about the situation of Ningguo Mansion, and began to clear up the local lawsuits. He cleared almost all of the hundreds of backlogged cases here in just one month.

   All of a sudden, everyone called Jian Yi Qingtian, and the scholars and common people were deeply encouraged.

  Many gentry offered advice and suggestions one after another, and were willing to donate generously, willing to subsidize the government to repair the school buildings.

   I have to say that Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, still has a lot of face.

   It is said that many scholars flocked to come, and there are many Juren, hoping to become Jian Yi's guest of honor.

  The entire Ningguo Mansion, although it is a mere mansion, can be said to be a gathering of heroes at this time. Compared with the layout of the court officials, it may not be as good, but looking at the world, this place is almost full of talents.

  Jian Yi acts in a disciplined manner, and refuses to slack off from morning to night every day.

  But at this moment, someone came excitedly and said with joy: "En House, En House... Great joy, great joy..."

  The person who came here was a close friend of Jian Yi's. In fact, to be honest, this person was regarded as one of Jian Yi's disciples, and his name was Wu Huan.

It stands to reason that juren can become an official. As long as you are willing, you can go to the Ministry of officials to select officials. In the early Ming Dynasty, there were not many Jinshi. As in the case of dogs.

  But many candidates are unwilling to choose officials, but hope to wait until the next imperial examination to continue to take the Jinshi examination.

  In their view, electing people to be officials is already a low-level, and it is a road of last resort.

  This Wu Huan learned that his master was in Ningguo Mansion, and immediately came here with a group of scholars excitedly, and immediately became Jian Yi's guest of honor.

  Jian Yi was drinking tea at this time, when he heard Wu Huan's voice, his eyes were gentle, and he said with a smile on his face, "Why, why are you so Meng Lang today?"

  Wu Huanxi smiled and said: "Enfu first read the mansion newspaper."

   As he spoke, he reported the residence.

  Jian Yi was taken aback when he saw it, and couldn't help saying in amazement: "Ah, the imperial court...why..."

  Wu Huan took a meaningful look at Jian Yi. The En House really acted carefully. On the one hand, he asked the imperial censor to play and asked His Majesty to grant full authority, but the result here still seemed to have nothing to do with this matter.

   This point, he really has to learn it hard, and it will be useful when he becomes an official in the future.

  So Wu joyfully said: "En Mansion, it's all right now, En Mansion can just use its fists in Ningguo Mansion."

  Jian Yi frowned, he was indeed a little confused, but after careful consideration, it seemed that things were not bad.

He murmured: "The matter has come to this point, and I have no choice but to accept His Majesty's will. To use my fists... um... to promote good and benevolent governance is the top priority. The old man has almost figured out the situation of Ningguo Mansion, but how to implement benevolent government, but still It needs to be considered."

  Wu Huan said confidently: "I think En Mansion must have a plan in mind."

  Looking at Wu Huan looking at himself with admiration.

  Jian Yi pondered for a while, and then said: "You should invite the gentry and elders of the Ningguo Mansion to discuss together."

Wu Huan's eyes lit up, and then he said excitedly: "It's wonderful, it's indescribable, Enfu's move is really brilliant, it's called spreading the word, so there's no reason why this Ningguo Mansion is not happy. The students will invite everyone Village sages and elders."

  Jian Yi smiled and nodded.

  ...

  As for Qixia at the other end, Zhang Anshi's reaction seems to be a little different from the others.

  He read the imperial decree several times in a row, but still felt a little uneasy.

  Then specially invited Gao Xiang to come over, let him read it once, then frowned and said: "Is this the literal meaning?"

  Gao Xiang thought for a while, then said: "The imperial decree is very clear, it means literally."

  Zhang Anshi scratched his head: "Damn it, how could there be pie in the sky? I didn't do anything, and His Majesty sent us pillows for Sleepy in Taiping Mansion. Could it be that Your Majesty is a roundworm in my belly!"

  Gao Xiang hurriedly said: "My lord, be careful with your words."

  Zhang Anshi suddenly became alarmed, and immediately said: "Oh, oh, I was wrong, hey... I am outspoken."

  Gao Xiang likes this feeling, Zhang Anshi dares to talk nonsense in front of him.

what is this? This is trust!

  Although Zhang Anshi had to seriously correct Zhang Anshi when he was talking nonsense, but he still felt at ease in his heart.

  At this time, Zhang Anshi looked uncertain and said: "Is there a trap here?"

  Gao Xiang said seriously: "Probably not, I have read it twice, that's what I mean."

  Zhang Anshi said: "But I heard that this is the result of the ministers' court discussion. It's not that I have any opinions on the officials, but that they have always hated me. How could they... treat me so well?"

   There are reasons for his concerns, and it is not a bad thing to be more vigilant.

  Gao Xiang thought for a while and said, "I heard the rumors outside, it seems that this has something to do with Mr. Jian."

   "Jian Yi?" Zhang Anshi said thoughtfully: "This may make sense. Why, he is in Ningguo Mansion, is he going to do something earth-shattering?"

   "This... I don't know." Gao Xiang said: "If you want to know, you can ask the Fusi of Nanbei Town to find out."

  Zhang Anshi snorted coldly and said: "I don't care about inquiring about him, and...Jinyiwei has rules, try not to inquire about the movements of the court, external...only external."

  Zhang Anshi said with a smile, and then cheered up: "But anyway, with this will, I have the advantage, and we can finally do more things."

After a pause, he said cheerfully: "I said earlier, Your Majesty is wise. You see, this will is a clear proof. Now that I am waiting for the emperor's favor, I have to be so trustworthy. What else can I say? Break your body to pieces, do your best to serve! What are you still doing in a daze, don’t delay, quickly gather people and get ready to do something!”

  Gao Xiang also cheered up, and hurriedly said: "Yes."

  ………

   Please ask for a monthly pass, woo woo woo, code words are not easy, and I have recently suffered from rheumatism, and my hands and neck hurt.
