Chapter 428: Yongle Rings the Bell

On weekdays, Xia Xun does not need to go to the court, but on the fifth day, he has to serve in the court during the big court. The next day was the Great Dynasty Meeting, Xia Xun and Ming'er had decided to ask the emperor for leave tomorrow and leave the capital to go to Shuangyu Island.

The next morning, Xia Xun also got up early in the morning and rushed to the palace. In the early dynasty today, Emperor Yongle ordered several major events, one is to rebuild the "Taizu Record", the "Taizu Record" was repaired once by Dong Lun and others in the first year of Jianwen, but Zhu Di did not recognize everything in the Jianwen Dynasty, and out of political needs, he needed to rebuild a "Taizu Record".

Zhu Di announced that Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and Ru Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were the principal and deputy supervisors, and the attendant explained Jin as the president, and Wang Jing, a scholar of Hanlin, Li Zhigang, Huang Huai, and Li Guan, who were the compilers, and rebuilt the "Taizu Record", he did not recognize the four-year reign of Jianwen, but the deeds of these four years could not be erased out of thin air, since the four years of Emperor Jianwen became the thirty-second to thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, so some ministers suggested that the deeds of the Jianwen Dynasty should be appended to the back of the "Taizu Record", Zhu Di thought about it for a while, And I agreed.

Subsequently, Zhu Di announced the reopening of the Huayi Palace, Wuying Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Dongge University Scholars at the time of Taizu, in order to prepare consultants, and ordered the servants to read Xie Jin and revise Yang Rong into the cabinet.

Several ministers who edited the "Taizu Record", without exception, are all old ministers of Jianwen, and these two ministers who entered the cabinet are all old ministers of Jianwen without exception, these people are trusted and reused, and they have given a shot of strength to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty who are panicked all day long.

And Zhu Di's political signal obviously means that the purge is about to end, and all officials are secretly relieved. The two ministers who joined the cabinet were both young and junior officials with real talents and learning, and such meritocracy also made many officials who believed in their talents and learned from them have a fervent hope and secretly tried to win their hands to join the cabinet.

Zhu Di is obviously not only good at fighting, but also a political master who knows how to move a thousand pounds, through these two things, he not only easily influenced the next move of the imperial court, diverted the public's attention, but also easily mobilized people's hearts. This is the superior means of governing a large country and cooking small fresh.

Subsequently, Zhu Di ordered the household department to verify the number of households without land in Shanxi, and moved to Beiping in batches. The population of Beiping Mansion has decreased sharply because of the four years of war, and Zhu Di brought his army to the south after entering Jinling, and the labor force in Beiping has been reduced.

Zhu Di issued an edict that the landless peasant households in Shanxi should be given money according to their households to buy cattle, grain seeds, and farm tools, and that the relocated people should be tax-free for the first five years, and taxes would begin to be levied after five years, and at the same time, a number of wealthy households should be selected from ten counties such as Nanzhili and Suzhou, and nine provinces, including Zhejiang, to be sent to Beijing City.

Supervising the resettlement of local officials and the distribution of resettlement fees, supervising the selection of wealthy households by provincial officials to move to Beijing, and the prisoners of exile to Beijing to open up wasteland, this is naturally the responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As for Ji Gang, he is not worried, through the purge, he has initially established his authority for himself, and the next step should be the consolidation stage. Besides, because of Jingqing's assassination, although the emperor vigorously promoted Jianwen's old ministers and used them to win people's hearts for his own use, he also had great doubts about their loyalty, and had already instructed him to strengthen the supervision of hundreds of officials.

With just this order, he has become a knife hanging over the heads of hundreds of officials, who dares to ignore his Ji Gang like the Luo Ke enemy of the Jianwen Dynasty?

Tracing back to the source, the most grateful to Jingqing is probably Chen Ying and Ji Gang.

Only these three major events were promulgated and discussed, and the time of the early dynasty was almost over, and when it was close to noon, when he was about to retreat from the dynasty, Zhu Di smiled and said suddenly: "Today, I have a few words to say to the ministers!" ”

When the palace was quiet, the civil and military officials all pricked up their ears, especially the ministers of the Beiping department, they have always been more casual than the old ministers of Jianwen in the court, and at this time, they were stunned, and they slowly became serious, and the palace was silent for a while.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "In the past, the monarch who created the world with force must rely on the assistance of his generals. However, it is often difficult to protect the generals later, why? It is often said that this is the emperor's cunning rabbit death, lackeys cooking, slaughtering powerful ministers, and securing the clan. Is that really the case? There are so many people who support the emperor and weaken his authority, do they have to use killing to keep a reputation for thousands of years? ”

Zhu Di's gaze slowly swept over the ministers, and the officials of the Beiping Department were a little apprehensive.

Zhu Di said: "Has anyone ever checked, are those generals who are difficult to preserve, arrogant, pampered and arrogant?" The monarch responds to heaven and things, once he sits in the country, he is not only the monarch of the ministers, he is the monarch of the whole world, and the whole world is the monarch's people, and he cannot be biased.

Therefore, the offenders must also be severely punished. I, Emperor Hongwugao, established the constitution in order to make future generations abide by it. If you violate the constitution and punish those who do not understand the precepts, you will naturally be punished according to the law. Even if you are close to the old, you must not be forgiven!

I have heard a lot of news in the past few days, and some of my ministers are arrogant and insulting the old ministers of the DPRK and China; suddenly ascended to a high position, greed breeded, and the mansion built by me was too small, and there were those who encroached on the illegal expansion of the dwelling; There are those who accept bribes from deposed criminals, work up and down for them, and steal machines to drill camps; There are those who form parties for personal gain and entrap courtiers......"

Zhu Di's words, every sentence has a meaning, and he pointed out that the officials of the Beiping Department who have similar behaviors all feel awe-inspiring in their hearts, the most unscrupulous these days are them, they are self-assured, and they regard the old ministers of Jianwen as a head shorter than them, and they are arrogant and arrogant, so that it is still light, and there are many people who extort benefits.

As for all kinds of inaction, there are indeed all kinds of inactions, some are light and some are heavy, some are big and some are small, and there are very few officials who are clean and self-conscious, and do not get any undeserved benefits, probably only Xia Xun feels worthy of his heart, but after listening to Zhu Di's words, and thinking about it carefully, is he really worthy of his heart?

Wang Yuma's house is said to be borrowed, but what will others think? Would you believe that he borrowed a house from the king or accepted a gift? Xia Xun suddenly realized that since Zhu Di sat in the country, although he was constantly alerting himself, he was actually a little flustered, if he changed the situation, would he accept Wang Yuma's kindness so rashly?

Especially forming a party for personal gain and entrapping courtiers, this crime can be said to be the heaviest, will the emperor be talking about me? Yesterday I advised the emperor to stop purging, and on the same day, someone knelt down in front of my house and asked for help, if someone told the emperor about this matter, there was a slight implication between the words, and deliberately did not mention the time order, what would the emperor think in his heart?

Not only can't you disobey it, even if you are upright, you have to be skilled in doing things in the officialdom. Because others can't see your heart, they see your deeds!

Zhu Di's alarm bell rings in everyone's heart with a different understanding, but as soon as he ascended to the world, he promptly issued this edict to the ministers, which undoubtedly played a very important role.

Zhu Di's voice echoed loudly in the Golden Palace: "Today's words are just knocking and knocking, and everything that happened before can be regarded as if I didn't say it." You support me, accompany me from birth to death, and I sincerely hope that all of you can live a long life and be rich and prosperous, and rest with the country. But if someone is evil and does evil, then don't blame me for being widowed and young! ”

Dispersed the dynasty, the civil and military officials have their own hearts, have dispersed, there are those who entered the cabinet, received the important envoy such as the repair of the "Taizu Record" and raised their eyebrows, especially Xie Jin, two major events have his participation, it can be seen that the weight received, as soon as he came out of the Golden Palace, he was surrounded by his colleagues to congratulate, look at his eyebrows flying and dancing, but he is also radiant.

There are ministers who have done something wrong recently, and they are thinking about how to remedy and make up for their mistakes. Xia Xun deliberately slowed down his pace and walked at the end, thinking about it, he still had to go to the emperor.

"To Shuangyu?"

"Yes, when the minister rescued the prince and the two princes from Jinling, he was helped by the Shuangyu bandits, and the minister promised them on behalf of the emperor that he would never forget their labor. The minister heard that the emperor was very unhappy with the Japanese invaders, and he wanted to teach them a lesson, these pirates are not only good at sea warfare, especially frequent voyages, and they are familiar with the sea, a hundred times better than our sailors, if they can recruit these pirates and rectify them a little, it will be a naval army in the hands of the emperor who can fight well. ”

"Hmm......"

Zhu Di stroked his beard and pondered, Xia Xun said again: "When the ministers fled with the county lord, it happened that General Yi Shaozong, a thousand households in Xiangshan, fought the beach with the Japanese invaders, and General Yi also said before his death that it was because of the Shuangyu pirates' containment of the Japanese pirates that the coastal people were not harmed more. ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded and glanced at him: "Your family members are also on the island now, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Xia Xun smiled, and to this shrewd boss, instead of hiding it, it was better to tell the truth: "The minister is respected by the emperor, he is the prince of the country, and he is a very good minister, and he is a very good minister, and he is ...... in his heart Very proud. Both parents died, and fell out with the clan, only two good wives do not leave, always accompanied by the left, the ancients said: rich and noble do not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes night walk, the minister now wants to ...... Pick up the two ladies in a beautiful manner, and share the emperor's grace. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "I'm afraid, this is your biggest purpose, right?" ”

Xia Xun said abruptly: "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Hehe, this is also human nature, okay, you go, ask Chen Huo to allocate a few warships from the sailor to you, since you want to go, you will be beautiful, don't weaken the prestige of my court and break the face of your auxiliary prince." ”
