This case did not drag on for too long, after the Metropolitan Procuratorate heard the identity of Zhu Wenkui, the new chief bookkeeper, it quickly interrogated Zhang Dong, and the case had been decided, Zhang Dong did not have a dream of escaping death, he recognized it all, and finally with the approval of Dali Temple, he calmly walked on the court.

From a fourth-grade officer to a death row prisoner, it was only because of his son that he injured a junior.

A small case that would have only required one or several people to be imprisoned for three or five years ended up in the end, but it was two people whose heads fell to the ground, and the money-greedy litigant died of being framed.

Therefore, many times it is not terrible to make mistakes, but what I am afraid of is to make mistakes again and again, and in the end, it is a huge mistake that is difficult to make up.

This truth may be understood by the entire Zhang family now, but will the people watching the punishment feel this way, and will the magnates in the entire Nanjing City be alerted by this?

I can't talk about this kind of thing now, the only thing I know is that the security of Nanjing City has improved much in an instant.

Everyone knows that Ying Tianfu has a new master of the torture room, an iron-headed baby.

And when Zhu Wenkui was 'followed' on the way back to the palace once, his identity as the eldest prince spread out, which made everyone suddenly realize.

No wonder this new master book is not afraid of heaven and earth, and feelings are this background.

Master book, hard!

In the past, Cao Apu was appointed as the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, and the current prince was appointed as the chief bookkeeper of Nanjing.

The storyteller in Nanjing City can be regarded as having a money-making conversation, and the common people are also happy, but all the powerful and wealthy businessmen are not so easy, in addition to scolding the Zhu family father and son behind their backs for not being human, they are strict with their children, and those who commit crimes are even taken to Ying Tianfu to surrender themselves.

If you fight and hurt someone, you will be imprisoned for a few years, and you will lose money if you turn yourself in, and you will come out in a year or two.

I really waited until Ying Tianfu came to the door to get people, and I didn't know where things would develop.

Zhang Dongsheng's case is a lesson from the past.

"In the past two years, Anxin has been on an errand in Yingtianfu, and after two years, the people of all sizes are familiar with it, so I will go to Fengyang to be the prefect."

This arrangement was told to Zhu Wenkui by Zhu Yunwen in advance, which made the latter stunned.

Go to Fengyang to be the prefect?

"At that time, Taizu set the feudal system, and divided his sons into feudal ones, such as Qin, Jin, Yan, Shu, and Chu, and governed most of them as a province, and the small ones also had several prefectures, so that they could control the local military, political and even diplomatic power, and trained several sons who could be called masterpieces.

This method is very desirable, but it is inevitable to let the place sit big, threatening the centralized dominance of the central government, these vassal kings raise soldiers, set their own taxes, like a country within a country, so after I ascended the throne, it took me five or six years to cut down all these vassal kings, because I want to transform the Ming Dynasty and do not allow any noise. ”

Zhu Yunwen explained to Zhu Wenkui the reason for what he did.

"However, in the future, after I support the development of the Ming Dynasty on the road I want to see, the division is bound to be restarted, but it has been changed from internal to external, and the provincial examination and the national examination are laying the foundation for the external division.

Wenkui, you don't have many brothers, only Wenqi, Wenwei, Wendi, etc., there are only three or four, Wenwei and Wendi are too small, but the road I arranged for you is the same, now Nanjing foot training for a few years, and then go out, including when you are older, you will enter the General Staff or the Ministry of Rites and Commerce, and you will have to learn politics, military, economy, and diplomacy.

On this path, I will leave tests waiting for you, and your destiny is in your own hands, even if you can't pass it, after you learn these things, there will be a vast world left for you to break through. ”

Those who do not pass the test will be divided into feudalism, so what about those who pass the test?

Naturally, he charged at the seat in the Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yunwen is fair to every child, everyone's line is the same, unless one of them takes the initiative to say that he has no interest in the throne and doesn't want to participate in this kind of test, then he can, do whatever he wants.

If you want to be a happy prince, you don't have to think about it.

Zhu Yunwen's own son, none of them have been crowned kings so far, and those little uncles who have gradually grown up are also a prince who has not been crowned, not to mention Zhu Yunwen's younger brothers, such as Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi and others.

Where is the new king?

When the Ming Dynasty opens the external feudal system in the future, then, let alone the princes, even if these people go outside to establish themselves as emperors, they will go with them, just like the Great Mongolia-Yuan Empire system.

Many people tend to confuse the Mongol imperial system, thinking that the Yuan Dynasty represents the Mongol Empire and is the suzerainty of the four khanates, this perception is wrong, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is the co-leader of the four khanates, but it does not mean that the Yuan Dynasty is the suzerainty of the four khanates, these are two concepts.

Under the Great Mongol system created by Genghis Khan, the political status of the Yuan Dynasty and the four khanates created by Kublai Khan was equal, which were five politically independent states, and there was also a fictitious political body on these five political subjects, namely the Mongol Empire. Then these five independent states had a common leader, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, was also the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and his capital or residence in Beijing made the Yuan Dynasty have some special status.

The Yuan Dynasty was not equated with the Mongol Empire.

The bond is highly similar to that of the later Soviet Union, the continental universal empire.

Because of this political system, coupled with the unique thinking and open-mindedness of Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, the Mongol Empire became a super-powerful empire spanning the entire Eurasian continent, and several elements such as the wealth of East Asia, the invincible military force of the steppes, and the open business model of Eastern Europe and Central Asia were all blended into this Mongol Empire.

The Mongol Empire benefited from this form of government, and the rate of decline also came from it.

With the financial collapse of the East Asian Empire, the Yuan Empire, the system was declared to be over after the orthodox Mongol Great Khan lineage was driven out of the Central Plains and returned to the steppes, and the rise of the Timurid Khanate eliminated two of the four khanates, and this universal empire collapsed even faster than the later Soviet Union.

At least most of the latter's national and military strength is still inherited by the Russian Federation, and the former does not even have a successor, and directly derives and splits two extremely weak nomadic races:

Warat and Tatar.

Weak!

Compared to the general empire of the Great Mongols, the Warat and Tatars were extremely weak, and not only could they not fight the rising Timur, but they could not even conquer the wild tribes that had fled south from Tunguska.

Trapped in the cyclical historical problems of the steppe for hundreds of years, he finally became a vassal of the Jurchen tribe, that is, the Mengbaqi.

It is impossible to judge whether Genghis Khan has political vision and wisdom beyond the times, but the Great Mongolian system he created is very suitable for Zhu Yunwen's current era, or even beyond this era, in a sense, even the forerunner of the John Bull Empire system.

It pointed out a direction for the establishment of the later empire on which the sun never set, and John Bull improved and perfected it under this political thinking.

The only difference is that the Mongol system is a universal empire on a continent like the Soviet Union, while the sun never sets on a universal empire of the sea.

The continental empire is characterized by the pursuit of absolute control, while the maritime empire is characterized by what appears to be win-win cooperation, but in fact, the behavior of transferring benefits and wealth from the led region to the central local region.

This difference in thinking is directly reflected in the Beijing Agreement (Xincho Treaty) after the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing.

In the thinking mode of the continental empire, the Manchu leadership class headed by Cixi believed that after the capital was captured and part of the empire was actually ruled by the Western countries led by the Eight-Nation Alliance, it already meant the death of the country.

Directly the emperor abdicated, the Qing Dynasty fell to the country, and then let such a group of foreign devils be the masters of the land of the Central Plains, isn't it a matter of course?

Just as the Mongols entered the Central Plains in the 13th century and the Manchus entered the Central Plains in the 17th century.

However, the thinking mode of the maritime empire is not aimed at destroying the indigenous ruling system of a piece of land at all, and the use of force to destroy and completely conquer a piece of land is the most wasteful way of national power and the minimization of interests.

To this end, this group of Westerners even helped and the Manchu government on the verge of collapse to maintain its dominance in the Central Plains, including but not limited to fighting the rebels, sending advisers to help the Qing government improve the Westernization movement, strengthen the Qing government's military strength, and suppress local rebellions.

(At this point, we can refer to many of Li Hongzhang's foreign secretaries, including Britain, France, and the United States, who were all embassy staff and concurrently served as Li Hongzhang's secretary, which became the diplomatic link between the Qing government and Britain, France, and the United States at that time.) ）

The purpose of this practice is that the West wants to maximize China's wealth and interests, including a large amount of raw materials and manpower (Chinese slave transportation. ), and became a dumping ground for Western countries.

After the eighteenth century, the West no longer used silver currency for settlement, the gold standard and the Union Bank began to be established, and the surplus silver was dumped into the Qing Dynasty, which was then taken away by means of indemnity treaties, making the old China a complete 'supply machine' or a more understandable leek field.

This goods includes all the people and things in this land.

At present, Zhu Yunwen's plan for the Ming Dynasty is to establish a continental universal empire with the Ming Dynasty as the core, and at the same time, with the economy as one of the means of control, the maritime empire as the auxiliary, to establish a theoretical sense of the great imperial federal system that can last forever.

In terms of local volume, Daming far surpasses John Bull, and even in this Jianwen decade, Daming is even bigger than the whole of Europe tied together.

Whether it's wealth or population.

What is lacking in this unique basic condition is a suitable line, that is, a political system.

Put on wings, and you can fly and swallow people.

Since Hongwu's ascension to the throne in the 31st year, Zhu Yunwen began to conceive this grand blueprint for the future, which has been perfected for so many years, and his choice at every step is to prepare for the improvement of this blueprint.

The purpose of abolishing the division is that he does not want anyone to put his beak in the early stage and engage in the local and central government's yang and yin.

The purpose of criticizing Kong and infinitely deifying his imperial power is to seize all power and implement the dictatorship without limits, and the whole country from top to bottom, except for him, the emperor, everyone is just a pawn in the blueprint that is dominated and arranged.

The provincial examination system is to cultivate a large number of seeds that can be sealed in the future.

Every aristocratic element of the Ming Dynasty (that is, the mainstay who can enjoy the knowledge training of the military, politics, and business three rings, and grow in the system) is a reserve talent for the future.

This is something that ordinary people can't enjoy, their family environment can't support them to receive these education from an early age, at this point, Zhu Yunwen can't do anything, universal education is just a big wave of sand, and it can ensure that one out of a hundred bitter children can have hope.

Now, it's the turn of Zhu Wenkui, a child of his own.

One of them is to receive a new type of education from an early age, and then to get in touch with local government, and to get in touch with the fields of politics, military, diplomacy, and economics, and to acquire knowledge in these fields, you can gradually acquire the qualifications to succeed.

Take control of a gigantic empire like never before in history!

Zhu Yunwen felt that even he did not have the ability to control such a huge empire, because every time he looked at the map of Kanyu, the map of the world that Zheng He brought back and supplemented by his own memories would be shocked by the circles drawn by himself to the point that his scalp was numb.

Therefore, while Zhu Yunwen himself is making progress, he must also make great efforts to cultivate the next generation.

Any incompetent child is destined to be ruthlessly abandoned by him.

Zhu Yunwen can even accept that his children are ruthless and ruthless, but he absolutely can't accept that his children are incompetent!

As long as he can realize the ambition in his heart, he is right to start this crossing.

The child is the continuation of his life and the heir to Zhu Yunwen's ambition!

Zhu Wenkui obviously didn't realize this, he hadn't really known Zhu Yunwen since he was a child, and now that he has grown up, he doesn't dare to take the initiative to approach, although the father and son live in the Qianqing Palace together.

"I know that recently, your mother has been helping you find a daughter-in-law, don't take it seriously, don't be too desperate to think that you can't be free to make the decision, pick a daughter-in-law, and wait for two years after you go to Fengyang and come back, I let you choose yourself."

Zhu Wenkui didn't believe it in his heart, Zhu Yunwen, who has always been domineering, could delegate power in such an important matter?

The political marriage of the eldest prince is, to put it mildly, a matter of national fortune.

"Your Majesty, King Yan is here, and the military situation in the northwest is here."

At this time, a small eunuch walked in and interrupted the conversation.

"Go ahead."
