Chapter 213: "The Rule of Renxuan" (Ask for Subscription)
Zhu Zhanji solemnly suggested to Zhu Gaochi:
"Many people who have been sentenced to death in the past may have been victims of trumped-up charges. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The Cabinet should be ordered to review the case in conjunction with judicial officials.
It's just that in some criminal cases, even the verdict of your father, you should swear to the world, even if your past conclusions are not substantiated, you should be able to ignore or overturn them. ”
"The emperor is thoughtful." Zhu Gaochi nodded with satisfaction. At this time, another minister, Xia Yuanji, suddenly got up and said:
"Your Majesty, there is one thing, the minister doesn't know whether to talk about it or not, the family members of Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and other officials were executed for being loyal to Emperor Jianwen. In my opinion, in remembrance of their loyalty, did they order that their families be exempted from slavery and that the confiscated property be returned? ”
"Quasi-play. I will soon issue a decree further admonishing the judicial authorities to prohibit the indiscriminate use of corporal punishment against prisoners and to punish them in conjunction with their relatives (except for serious crimes of treason). Because these practices seriously violate the Confucian principle of benevolence and filial piety. ”
These measures are actually Zhu Gaochi has been brewing in his heart for many years after he personally experienced the "what does it matter if you punish the ten clans" in the case of Fang Xiaoru of his father Zhu Di back then, as well as the cruel tyranny of Zhu Di's "killing 3,000 palace maids alive" in the "Yulu Rebellion".
In addition, Zhu Gaochi was also concerned about the financial difficulties of the people of Li caused by his father's huge plans.
He issued several edicts abolishing the emperor's expropriation of commodities such as timber and gold and silver, and replacing them with a system of fair purchases.
He also exempted those affected by natural disasters from their land taxes and provided them with free food and other relief items. He was particularly distressed by the frequent exodus of the people, a situation caused by the peasants' inability to pay taxes and cope with various expropriations—a serious problem in the late reign of Zhu Di.
Wandering in the late Yongle period caused the country to lose a lot of income.
Therefore, Zhu Gaochi issued a special edict to the fugitives to return to their hometowns, promising to exempt them from the taxes they owed, and to exempt them from the same taxes and labor for two years after registering in their localities.
It can be said that in terms of "Wenzhi Martial Arts", although "Martial Arts" is inferior to his father Zhu Di, but in terms of "Wenzhi", it is far better than King Han and even Yongle Emperor Zhu Di!
At this point, Zhu Gaochi did not live up to his father's choice, nor did he live up to Empress Zhang's half-life fulfillment.
In terms of government affairs, Zhu Gaochi selected virtuous ministers, cut redundant officials, and appointed Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pu (known as "Three Yangs" in history) as auxiliary ministers.
abolished the ancient palace punishment, stopped the treasure ships from going to the West, and stopped the royal procurement of jewelry;
Taking Tang Taizong as a model everywhere, cultivating the Ming Outline and discipline, and loving the people like a son, all of this enabled the people of the Hongxi Dynasty to get full recuperation and recuperate, and the productive forces to achieve unprecedented development.
The Ming Dynasty entered a period of stability and prosperity, and it was also the beginning of the "rule of Renxuan" in history.
It can be said that with the assistance of Zhu Zhanji, who was comprehensively cultivated by Zhu Di, and a group of enthusiastic ministers, Zhu Gaochi's Ming Dynasty moved forward in the direction of new prosperity.
And Zhang Cuiyun, who is accustomed to political battles and uses mental tricks, has no place to use anymore.
There is only one way for her now: to exit Zhu Gaochi's life stage forever lonely, and enter the harem to be a deep palace woman who does not ask about the world.
Of course, there are other options.
But does she dare to think about it?
However, it was not Empress Zhang who was most afraid and worried about Zhu Gaochi's "rule of benevolence".
After all these policies and measures in Beijing won the hearts of the people and spread all over the world, the Han King in Shandong was even more worried.
He used his personnel and old connections in the capital to constantly move to find out the situation, even those ministers who were very close to the king of Han at the beginning treated the king of Han very coldly.
"Lord Wang, this Zhu Gaochi is really assisted by a master, so that the world is in the heart, and the four seas are peaceful, we can't find a reason to cause trouble? Even if we don't want a reason and insist on rebelling, I'm afraid that no one will be willing to respond to us, and it will be really difficult to speak alone. ”
Prince Wenhala said worriedly.
"Don't be in a hurry. There will always be loopholes, they are in the light, we are in the dark, there is always a way to wait. ”
King Han said calmly.
At this time, Wu Wu, who was in the mansion of King Han, was anxious every day.
As for the news of Beijing, she could only tell her some privately through Zi Yan.
King Han is now on the same page with her, no longer interacting, but he doesn't make it too difficult for her, he just treats her as an air-like existence.
She never heard from the little bird again.
This is what makes Wu Wu the most anxious.
After more than half a year, Zhu Zhanji will definitely write to her.
But she did not receive the letter, which can only be said that Prince Wenhala intercepted the letter for her.
She couldn't ask Prince Wenhala for it.
What made Wu Wu even more anxious was that she had no way to pass on all this to Zhu Zhanji, telling him not to write any more letters, because every letter he wrote to her would fall into the hands of the enemy.
She was in a hurry, but she couldn't do anything.
King Han's expression was gloomy and terrifying now.
She will never see the affectionate prince who was willing to give up everything for her and give up the battle for the throne again.
The current King of Han suddenly became more ruthless and terrifying, just like he was back then, he was desperate to seize the world and let Wu Wu's man, Zhu Zhanji, bow down to her.
Sometimes, Wu Wu regretted a little, saying that the truth was cruel, and she did not hesitate to stimulate her in order to make King Han completely dead to her.
Who knew that the drug was too violent, and it actually stimulated King Han so crazy.
However, the only consolation is that although King Han and Wu Wu are incompatible, his attitude towards Zi Yan suddenly became a 180-degree turn.
Perhaps, the king of Han, who has seen through everything, is finally willing to follow Wu Wu's advice and "cherish the people in front of him"?
Recently, King Han has been running to Zi Yan's Ning Cui Xuan every day.
At this moment, spring is in full swing. The Spring Festival in Ning Cuixuan was worth a thousand gold, and King Han pressed Zi Yan under him, and kissed her cheek gently after the storm.
That was the gentleness that Zi Yan once longed for.
But now, although she can be under the body of King Han, she can enjoy the strong affection or tenderness of this domineering prince.
But for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong.
The eyes of King Han looking at her were always blurry, like a layer of mist.
King Han's heart, even if it was tightly pressed against her chest, she still couldn't feel that heart-to-heart feeling.
Intuition told Zi Yan that King Han's sudden kindness to her was purposeful.
However, Zi Yan didn't have time to think....... (To be continued.) )
