284 The Temptation of Companionship

Whether it is to verify the preferential exemption limit of the official gentry, or to call for arrears, or to let the princes, including the prince, have to learn the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and "Heavenly Creation", these are all attributed to the craftsman, what is the emperor going to do?

These things are very topical, and the restaurant teahouse, after tea and dinner, has become the topic of most interest to the people of Beijing.

While they were talking, suddenly another decree from the emperor came down.

"Have you heard? The emperor has decreed that those civil and military generals who have made great contributions this year, as long as their children are of the right age, they can choose for themselves, whether to accompany the prince to study! ”

"What, and this? If you can accompany the prince to study, wouldn't you be unwanted, and you can choose by yourself, you will definitely go! ”

"I heard that I accompanied the prince to read "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and "Heavenly Creations", and ah, I heard that there is still some kind of experiment to be carried out, just according to what is written in the book, let them actually do it again."

"Ah, really? It's hard to imagine! After the prince and those heroes, they did carpenter work together? Do the blacksmith's thing? This...... Isn't that wrong? ”

"That's why I said that I can choose whether to go crazy with the prince or not!"

"This ...... I must go, accompany the prince, and the prince is crazy, even if it is up the knife mountain and the sea of fire, I will still go! ”

“……”

Obviously, the appeal of the royal family is still incomparable. Even if they do some jobs that seem to be lowly to scholars, they are also very envious.

"The three governors are the emperor's most trusted, and when the Jianlu is raging, they also contribute a lot, they have no problem. The commanders of the three battalions also have this qualification. However, I heard that even Lord Chen, the governor of the five provinces, and Lord Zheng, the governor of the three sides, can also send their own sons, which is a bit of luck! ”

"But no, whoever has that credit in their position, after all, it's the credit of the emperor's personal command, isn't it?"

"Actually, forget about their governors, do you know no, the son of a southern barbarian in Fujian is also appointed by the emperor to accompany the prince to study, this is really shit luck!"

"I've also heard about this, it is said that the princes in the court, some people have opinions, and they have already played it to say that it is unfair, saying that their children are absolutely suitable to accompany the prince to study, and even the sons of those general soldiers are qualified, so their sons also want to accompany them!"

"Is there such a thing? But it's no wonder, after all, the prince is also there, and he is studying with the prince, and it is all the prince's team! For the sake of your children's future, it seems understandable to be shameless! ”

“……”

Indeed, as rumored in the market, the six ministries and nine secretaries in the court, the cabinet and the palace nobles, I heard that the emperor recruited a large number of children of civil ministers and military generals to accompany the prince, or in their eyes, it can be simply said that they accompany the prince to study, they are all red-eyed, no matter what you teach, as long as you can accompany the prince to study together, they all go to the emperor to intercede for their children.

For this situation, Emperor Chongzhen is actually happy to see it. He just wants to use this reason to accompany the prince to study, so that the next generation of the official family will consciously come to accept the edification of science and technology. In this way, there should be no less resistance than forcing everyone to learn scientific and technological knowledge. No, I'm begging to come and learn.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was very happy in his heart, he still took care of it. In the end, it seemed that he couldn't stand the noise of those courtiers, so he finally agreed.

Good guy, after the final count, there were 200 people to accompany the prince to study!

This result made all the people who knew the land, including inside and outside the palace, civil officials and military generals, all stunned.

With so many people accompanying the prince to study, how much weight is there?

Either way, there's always a chance, isn't it?

Therefore, each family taught their children that he must behave well in it, strive to stand out, and have a good relationship with the prince. Only in this way will the crown prince ascend the throne as emperor in the future, and he will benefit a lot.

However, what they didn't expect was that Emperor Chongzhen organized these two hundred people into ten classes, with more than twenty people in each class, although they were also taught by Zhang Zilong and Song Yingxing, but they were not in the same class as the prince. It's just that when there is a practical class, it is possible to be together.

In this way, everyone wants to attract the attention of the prince, and they all rush to answer Zhang Zilong and Song Yingxing's questions, just to attract the prince's attention by performing well in the rare time when he is in class with the prince.

Emperor Chongzhen secretly observed for a few days and found that the effect of this kind of learning was very good, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied.

However, there was one situation that was a bit unexpected to him. That is Zhang Zilong and Song Yingxing, the senior civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there are children studying with the prince, they all find opportunities to enter the door of their two families.

It is not too much to describe it as a city, it is much more lively than the entrance of the cabinet or the six books.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Wang Chengen's advice, couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and asked, "What do they usually do when they come to the door?" ”

"The slave and maid sent their subordinates to understand that some of them teach their children at home on weekdays, and when they encounter problems, they have to come to the door to ask for advice, and then go back to teach their own children, so that their children can learn very easily when the two adults teach!"

Wang Chengen had a smile on his face, and when he said this, he found that the emperor showed a happy smile, so he had some confidence in his heart, so he continued: "There are also people who come to the door to secretly praise their children for being smart, and signal the two adults to ask them more questions, test their children more, and promise not to disappoint the two adults!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile again, this enthusiasm for learning is a bit catching up with future generations. The quality of a child's performance in school is directly proportional to the hard work of parents. It is precisely because it is difficult for these civil and military generals to worry about this matter after they disperse. I guess if it had been before, there would have been few such things!

Accompanying the prince to study is a good bait!

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Wang Chengen's advice while smiling from time to time, he was very happy to see these phenomena.

At this time, the good news of Shanhaiguan arrived.

Although there was a great victory in the Battle of Tianjin, at this time, the great victory against Liaodong was still too few, so it was still somewhat rare. This good news soon spread in Jingshi, and it immediately attracted discussions.

"Have you heard of it, even the head of Baturu in Jianyu, there are more than two hundred, and the Guan Ning army has even begun to win the battle!"

"It's not easy! In the past, how difficult it was to have a head, it was always said that Jianyu would desperately snatch the corpse, so there was no head. This time, there are more than 200 heads, which is amazing! ”

"Actually, have you found that since the emperor dreamed of Taizu, everything has changed. In the past, it was rare to win a battle, but now, even the Guan Ning army has beheaded more than two hundred heads. ”

"That's right, Guan Ningjun's side, isn't it that the emperor has sealed Governor Sun in the past, how long has it been, isn't it just a victory!"

"In this way, is it possible that in our lifetime, we can really see the end of Liaodong Jianyu?"

"That's for sure, don't look at the emperor is still young! If it goes on like this, sooner or later, Daming will definitely return to Liaodong! ”

“……”

The people of Jingshi, while they were optimistic, sincerely admired their emperor. Because they felt the changes brought to them by the emperor's wisdom, the hope brought to them, and the pride brought to them.

In this way, on the Jingshi side, some people used to drink too much and scold the emperor for being incompetent, and the people were not happy. It may even attract the support of others, because many people empathize with the collapse of current events.

Since the end of last year, it was rumored that since Taizu fell into a dream, everything has slowly changed. The emperor is becoming more and more wise, and the good news is one after another, as a result, many people in restaurants, teahouses, streets and alleys have changed their concepts, not only fewer people scold the emperor, but even more and more people are defending the emperor.

The emperor's policy could not benefit everyone after all. It's far from it, let's just say that recently, the emperor sent people to check the preferential and exemption limits of officials and collect arrears, this matter, there must be many people's interests damaged, will they not complain? Absolutely!

However, at this time, if anyone dares to complain publicly, the officials dare to publicly say that the preferential and exempt limits are few, and they mainly focus on collecting arrears. Some people say that there is someone in a certain place who is really poor and can't pay the taxes so he owes taxes, but the emperor sends people to collect the arrears, which is forcing people to death, which hurts the heavens and the peace, and God is watching!

For this kind of similar statement, it is not necessary to do it with plainclothes factory guards, and some people spontaneously began to refute it. And if it is in public, it often attracts condemnation from a group of people, from various angles, such as how poor is it and what kind of poverty it has become? Some people say that the emperor sent people to collect the arrears, and they all had more than 100 acres of land.

Under the turbulence of the crowd, even if these complaining people are really reasonable, they are often sprayed by passers-by!

There's no way, there are few people who have the ability of Zhuge Liang's tongue to fight the Confucianism, a lot of saliva sprayed over, mixed with a loud voice, and the boss's fist, no one can really withstand it.

Time is in the blink of an eye, December, there are not many days, and the twelve years of Chongzhen are about to pass. When the people of Beijing thought that the year had passed like this, Emperor Chongzhen began to make trouble again.

A holy decree was issued to the world, which was related to the reform of the clan system.

From the generation of Emperor Chongzhen, the title of imperial prince is no longer hereditary, but inherited by means of demotion from generation to generation. This means that in addition to the crown prince, the other princes, Emperor Chongzhen, will be crowned as the vassal king, but the grandson of Emperor Chongzhen, even if he is the prince, that is, the eldest son, can only be the king of the county.

The emperor is like this to his sons, so there is no reason for other vassal kings to continue to inherit, and they must follow the new system.

Of course, there are good things in the reform of the new suzerainty system. For example, starting from the lieutenant, that is, the three levels of lieutenant of Zhenguo, lieutenant of auxiliary state, and lieutenant of Fengguo, in addition to having a fortune to receive, enjoy the same rights as civil nationality: you can do business, you can also conduct scientific research, and there will be no restrictions.

As for the royal princes of the feudal ranks, the princes of the county, the generals of the Zhenguo, the auxiliary generals, and the generals of the Fengguo, they are still forbidden to engage in business and imperial examinations, but they can engage in other aspects of academic research, such as the first generation of Zhou Wang, who once organized the compilation of medical books such as "Saving the Famine Materia Medica", "Baosheng Yulu", "Pocket Formula" and "Puji Fang". Things like this are encouraged by the imperial court. If you want to travel for this purpose, the magistrate must not be embarrassed.

In this way, these royal princes will no longer have to be locked up in fiefdoms and eat and wait for death as before. As long as they want to go out and have a look, they must at least choose a direction to do their studies.

The greatest resistance to the reform of this suzerainty system actually came from the emperor himself, who held the most power. In any case, if his son wants to do the same, it will be emotionally problematic. Even many emperors feel that this world is the world of their own family, and their sons can't enjoy this world, so this world is still not their own world?

Therefore, this suzerain-vassal system, if any dynasty or emperor dares to bring it up, it will definitely not end well.

However, the current Emperor Chongzhen is from later generations, and his thoughts are not comparable to all the emperors of hundreds of years ago. His consciousness is obviously much higher. In addition, these princes and princesses today seem to be separated from him by a layer, and for him, there is still a layer of affection that is missing to the bones, so this clan system was conceived by the emperor himself.

The reason for him to warn the harem is also very sufficient, the current situation of the clan, you can know how grim the situation is by directly smashing it with a stack of chapters, and then the righteousness is awe-inspiring, for the sake of the society of the Ming Dynasty, he has to destroy his relatives with righteousness, of course, this is not a righteous annihilation, so he must make such a change.

Emperor Chongzhen's authority, after this year, is already very high. And his princes are still very young, even the crown prince is only ten years old, and he has no thoughts of his own at all, so basically his decision, not many people in the harem dare to oppose it. Empress Zhou, who was the final in weight, because she had a son who was the crown prince, did not object.

As soon as this will came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the world.

Of course, after all, this matter is only related to the royal family, most people have the mentality of eating melon seeds and watching dramas, and their evaluation is based on their own buttocks, which is absolutely supported.

However, there are also some people who are not royal and are more worried, or those hereditary nobles. They thought, even the emperor's son has been canceled hereditary, so what about their hereditary title? Will the emperor one day abolish their hereditary lineage as well?

Therefore, they expected that the vassal kings would oppose it, and as long as the vassal kings were in front, then they would be safe.
