Your Majesty, Stop Pretending, You Have Destroyed Ten Countries in Three Months After You Ascended t

But it's different now.

Today, there are two factories, Jinyiwei, East and West, and six doors next to Tianmingzi.

To put it mildly, this is called a special department, but to put it bluntly, they are the eyes and ears of the emperor placed in various places.

Especially in this place in Beijing.

Jinyiwei is basically everywhere.

Nothing big or small can hide from them.

If I received this gift today, it is estimated that it will reach the ears of the emperor Zhu Yijun within half a day.

Even the head of the cabinet.

But some things can't be done just can't be done.

History is not without the court officials who end up in different places.

And it's not a minority.

Some people are extremely high-ranking officials, and after they are in power, they feel that they are extraordinary.

He even dared not to put the Son of Heaven in his eyes.

However, Gao Gong understood that the emperor today is completely different from all the emperors. .

Chapter 49: The Dark-bellied First Assistant of Ming Dynasty!

The head office of the cabinet.

Gao Gong lamented the prosperity of the Ming Empire in recent years.

Beginning with Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty expanded its territory, and Chengzu of Ming Dynasty conquered the three plough courts in Mobei five times, and went to the south of the Yangtze River seven times.

It was also from that time that the surrounding countries became vassals of the Ming Empire.

Mainly because of fear.

These countries are afraid that Ming Chengzu will come and destroy them.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were as many as seventeen subordinate countries of the Ming Dynasty, and nearly a hundred countries that had trade with the Ming Empire...

Of course, this is mainly due to Zheng He's voyages to the West.

It's a pity that later emperors did not make good use of trade, nor did they make good use of these vassal states...

In order to show the prestige and strength of the country, they often send property to these subordinate countries...

In Zhu Yijun's view, this is the most undesirable.

When Zheng He went to the West, he should plunder wealth, not give it away.

If the affiliated countries of the Daming Empire want to be protected by Daming, they must pay protection fees!

Not to mention anything else, just being able to harvest so much, no one of the emperors before the Ming Dynasty can do it.

As for the military, the Ming Dynasty was at the peak of the world.

At least so far, no country that the Ming Empire has encountered can compete with them.

It is for these reasons that even a chief minister like Gao Gong is equally respectful and awe-inspiring to the present emperor.

So many officials are afraid to make small moves in private.

A few days ago, the emperor opened a killing ring, and the atmosphere in the court was lifted!

If you do more, you will naturally take more. If you only eat the imperial grain and do nothing, you will also be investigated by the officials.

But if it is true, it will not be tolerated.

Because of this, many officials of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to be as presumptuous as before.

As for corruption and bribery, things have also decreased a lot.

After all, in the early days of Emperor Taizu, the reason why there were three orders and five applications, and some people dared to commit crimes against the wind, was all because the personal salary was too small, and there was no way to meet the basic life of the individual.

It is for this reason that many people are forced to take the risk of corruption and bribery.

Now the world is at peace, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are treated well for the imperial court.

Many people naturally feel that there is no need to take the risk anymore.

For example, the emperor's monthly salary is [-] taels, but when others come to ask you to do things, it is also [-] taels.

For the mere [-] taels of silver, why bother with your own future?

Gao Gong is such a state of mind at the moment.

The Siamese messenger must have sent something good, but he is already a very noble official, and he can't see any treasures on weekdays.

If the first assistant does a good job and attracts the emperor's favor, he will naturally be rewarded, so why should he care about these small favors.

Of course, the main reason was the secret documents submitted by Cao Zhengchun of the East Factory to His Majesty, which clearly recorded what Gao Gong's descendants did in their hometown.

This handle was held in His Majesty's hand, and Gao Gong did not dare to be careless. Although Gao Gong had asked his son to return to his hometown to deal with these matters, Gao Gong was always worried that the people would use their own fame to use power for personal gain.

"Siamese messenger, you should take these tributes back, otherwise, neither you nor me will be able to get rid of it."

Gao Gong said meaningfully.
