Yang Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Weichen can't think of this answer, only His Majesty can answer it?"

Zhu Zhanji said "oh" and said, "Yang Aiqing won't let me talk about it?"

Yang Zheng hummed and said: "Weichen is thinking that Chang Xiangrui is an auspicious omen in the world, so it is considered by Confucianism to be a natural phenomenon that expresses the will of heaven and is beneficial to people. If there are colorful clouds, the wind and rain are smooth, the grass is born with double spikes, the earth is sweet springs, and strange birds and beasts appear, so only the balance of prosperity will appear auspicious?"

Zhu Zhanji hummed and said: "That's true, Confucianism believes that the appearance of these phenomena is the approval or commendation of the emperor's behavior and the policies issued, so all extraordinary people in the prosperous era will have auspicious appearances, so when King Wu of Zhou attacked the Shang Dynasty, a white fish jumped into the boat, and a flame descended to the roof of King Wu, and then turned into a bird. These auspicious rays are considered to be a symbol of God's appointment of King Wu as the Son of Heaven. Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, is said to have appeared in the sky in a line when he was emperor, and many other auspicious planets. Since then, almost every emperor has ascended the throne, and some auspicious rui has appeared?"

Yang Zheng sighed, and pretended to ask in a deep voice: "Weichen is ignorant, and I still don't understand, what is the prosperous era and what is the standard of the prosperous world?"

Zhu Zhanji was also good-tempered, and he did not look half annoyed, and continued: "The so-called prosperous era is a period when the country moves from chaos to great rule and maintains prosperity for a long time!"

Yang Zheng nodded and said, "Weichen doesn't read much, can the emperor explain it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone pinched a cold sweat for him, Yang Shiqi shook his head and said: "This little brother Yang really doesn't know the height of the sky, how can any courtier torture the emperor like this, isn't this disrespectful?"

Jian Yi couldn't stand it, and was about to scold, but when he saw Zhu Zhanji shaking his head and signaling that it was okay for him, he smiled and continued: "Okay, I'll be a teacher for you today?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty?" Yang Zheng said respectfully.

Zhu Zhanji snorted and said, "Listen well, I will take the Eastern Han Dynasty as an example and the Tang Dynasty as an example." Let's talk about the Eastern Han Dynasty first, after Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was rejuvenated, he ruled the world with "judo", and adopted a series of measures to restore and develop social production, and alleviate the social crisis since the end of the Western Han Dynasty. From the second to the fourteenth year of Jianwu, six edicts were issued to release slaves and maids. In the 11th year of the founding of the armed forces, three edicts were issued, stipulating that those who kill slaves and maids shall not be commuted; those who burn slaves and maidservants shall be punished according to law; slaves and maids shall be exempted from being regarded as concubines; and the law of capital punishment shall be abolished for those who shoot and injure others. The lighter land tax system of the Western Han Dynasty was restored, and thirty taxes were implemented. The local army was dismissed, the system of changing service was abolished, and the army was organized to reclaim. Streamlining administration and reducing officials, cutting and merging more than 400 counties. The exempted prisoners were released as commoners and used in the border counties. In the fifteenth year of the founding of the military, he ordered the cultivation of fields, the inspection of household registration, and the strengthening of the feudal state's control over land and labor. Strengthen the centralization of power, give generous titles to meritorious heroes, but prohibit them from interfering in politics; exclude the three dukes, increase the power of Shangshu, who was in charge of documents under the emperor's left and right, and the national government affairs are controlled by the emperor, and the local commanders who control the army are abolished. All kinds of measures, so that the country in just ten years beyond the Western Han Dynasty III governance of Cheng dù, the world is rare stability, even the northern people did not dare to invade the south (the original Han Wu Emperor period was just two crusades, the Xiongnu suffered a large loss, others still invaded the south), at the end of the Guangwu era, the government's savings and even some ropes have rotted, known as the Guangwu prosperous era, and then the Tang Dynasty, during the Kaiyuan period, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, took a series of positive political and economic measures, coupled with the hard work of the people, the Tang Dynasty has reached a very high level in all aspects, and the national strength is unprecedentedly strong。 Social prosperity promoted a substantial increase in population, and during the "Kaiyuan Dynasty", the population of the Tang Dynasty grew to more than 52.9 million. The commerce of the Tang Dynasty was also very developed, the domestic traffic extended in all directions, the city was more prosperous, the foreign trade continued to grow, the Persian and big food merchants came one after another, Chang'an, Luoyang, Guangzhou and other metropolises merchants gathered, merchants of various colors and different languages wore different clothes to come and go, it was very lively, and the history was called the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty!

Yang Zheng said "oh", with a look of sudden realization, Jian Yi saw his expression in his eyes, shook his head and muttered: "This guy doesn't know if he really doesn't know, or pretends not to know, which makes people so angry and annoyed!"

Yang Shiqi shook his head and smiled bitterly, this little brother Yang is really eccentric, and he doesn't know what the hell he is doing.

With Yang Zheng's sigh in the imperial study, he regained his calm, Yang Zheng looked at the two crystal clear white turtles, and suddenly said: "Dare to ask the emperor, do you think my Ming Dynasty is now prosperous?"

Jian Yi couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Lord Yang, are you finished, your majesty asked you to come today to discuss military affairs, but not to ask you questions?"

Yang Zheng said with an innocent face: "Don't hide it, the lower officials are discussing military affairs?"

Jian Yi said angrily: "Although the old man is old, he has not yet reached the point of being dizzy and deaf and hunchbacked, where are you discussing military affairs? Obviously asking questions to the emperor?"

Yang Zheng looked at Jian Yi's angry appearance, which was really cute, but he was not annoyed, and continued to say in an innocent tone: "These questions about the lower officials are part of the major military affairs, you also know, the lower officials are dull, don't ask clearly, how to discuss the major affairs of the military state, the old man Confucius also said that he is not ashamed to ask?"

Playing lipsticks, although Jian Yi is an old bureaucrat, but there is his opponent, after a few words, he rolled his eyes angrily, and he couldn't refute it, so he said angrily: "Okay, you said it was a major military matter, you should talk about it, what do you think?"

"Isn't this discussing with the emperor, Lord Jian, it's not your ears, it's just that your eyes don't see clearly?" Yang Zheng said with a smile.

Zhu Zhanji and the others couldn't hold back any longer and laughed.

Jian Yi's old face turned red and wanted to have a seizure, but after looking at Zhu Zhanji, he gave up, snorted and stopped talking.

Yang Shiqi was afraid that the relationship between the two would be too stiff and not look good in the future, so he took out the unique majesty of a scholar with a straight face, and shouted: "Lord Yang, what do you want to say, just say it quickly, don't go around in circles!"

Yang Zheng shook his head and sighed: "Lord Ge, it's not that the lower official is deliberately going around in circles, it's really that the lower official is curious, just a few more words!"

Yang Shiqi was a little speechless, and snorted: "Okay, you can say it quickly!"

Zhu Zhanji said curiously: "I don't know what Lord Yang is curious about?"

Yang Zheng made a series and said, "Weichen is curious, what is the standard of the prosperous world?"

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said: "Since ancient times, historians have a public opinion that those who can be called prosperous must meet six points, one is Guotai, the second is Min'an, the third is Guofu, the fourth is Minzu, the fifth is Guoqiang, and the sixth is Wenchang, and these six are the criteria for judging whether the prosperous era is or not!"

"I see!" Yang Zheng nodded, and said: "Then Weichen dares to ask, I am a prosperous world now?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand the meaning of Yang Zheng's words, but Yang Shiqi reacted quickly, and said loudly: "If a prosperous era has not gone through the hard work of several generations of kings, it will not appear lightly? The Tang Dynasty entered its heyday, and it was precisely because of the unity of the monarch and the ministers in the early Kaiyuan Dynasty that the national economy prospered rapidly, ushering in the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. The rice is fat and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are abundant". Although I have the great power of the Ming Dynasty, and the glory of the Yongle prosperous era, it is said that there should be a prosperous era, but it is difficult to Jing for four years, six times to the West, five times to Mongolia, move the capital to Beijing, edit the "Yongle Canon", dredge the Grand Canal, this one after another big strokes, greatly consumed the national strength of my Ming Dynasty, not as good as the Kaiyuan Dynasty?"

Yang Shiqi said it implicitly, in fact, since the late Yongle period, with Zhu Di's southern expedition to the north. In order to support the officials and the army of the Beijing Division, they also organized the transfer of grain from the south to the north, repaired the canal, dug the Huitong River, and requisitioned a large number of people, and the peasants were burdened with forced labor. In addition to floods and droughts, plague epidemics, the masses are living in great difficulty. The masses in Shandong, Henan and other places have reached the point of eating tree bark and grass roots to support their lives. "People eat grass for food. "In the seventeenth year of Yongle," Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi were still in a state of famine and drought, until they stripped the bark of trees and dug up grass roots...... The old and the young moved, bumped the road, sold their wives and beards, in order to survive, Shandong broke out Tang Sai'er White Lotus uprising, it can be said that this series of large-scale strokes, so that the Ming national strength was greatly injured, far from the prosperous era.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yang Zheng said unrelentingly: "What Brother Yang said is not as good as the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, is it understandable that my Daming is not a prosperous era now?"

Yang Shiqi looked embarrassed, and it was a little difficult to say.

But I heard Zhu Zhanji say: "The current Ming Dynasty does not meet the standards of the prosperous world, but I believe that sooner or later there will be this day?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Yang Zheng also nodded: "It is worthy of being a hero, this is the atmosphere."

"It's not a prosperous age, so the King of Han paid tribute to Xiangrui privately, what does this mean?" Yang Zheng lightly threw out this sentence.

Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, Zhu Zhanji also looked pale, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and others each glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "Yes, it's not a prosperous age, the King of Han went to pay tribute to Xiangrui, this is the crime of bullying the king?"
