Chapter 272: The Great Imperial Meeting
After Li Biao and Wang Yongji decided, the Jinyi Wei and the Taxation Department of the entire capital moved, and they all rushed to the gardens and temples in the western suburbs, and sealed the first batch of 21 homes and temples.
The crackdown in the western suburbs has officially begun, but not many people have paid attention to it.
Things that could have caused an uproar, at this time, did not cause the slightest wave, which is also quite a miraculous thing. But now everyone's eyes are on the upcoming court meeting held by the imperial court, which can be understood.
Since Zhu Yijun announced the matter of the court meeting, the eyes of the court have all been focused on this matter.
With Xu De returning to the palace, Qi Jiguang returning to Beijing, and Zhang Weixian returning to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, everyone felt the solemnity of the atmosphere. Although there is no martial law in the capital, the people of the various yamen on the street have a feeling of being ready for battle.
From time to time, the spies of the East Factory wander the streets, and although they don't do anything, they are scary enough.
The people of Shuntianfu also looked like they were waiting for battle, which made the atmosphere in the capital tense.
Finally, on the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, all the civil and military officials who were eligible to see it were all dressed neatly and ready to go to court. On the honorable side, even the British duke, who had not shown up for a long time, was dressed neatly and went to court.
As the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of the noble family, the British Gong Zhang Rong has basically not participated in political affairs since Zhang Weixian was reused by the emperor, and rarely shows up, but this time he also appeared.
Although this old man is not young, his body is still quite tough.
Originally, everyone thought that the British government was going to decline after Zhang Rong's death, after all, Zhang Rong's eldest son was weak and had no children. The second son is also an unsuccessful person, no one expected that other people's sons would not be angry, but the grandson was deeply favored by the emperor.
On the civil official's side, it is naturally led by four university scholars, and Shen Shixing walked in the front in a red python robe.
The ministers of civil and military affairs were divided into two compartments, and Zhang Whale was the first to walk on the imperial steps, and the floating dust in his hand was gently shaken, and Zhang Whale shouted loudly: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
With this shout, Zhu Yijun walked up from behind.
Today's Zhu Yijun did not wear regular clothes, but deliberately wore a crown robe, with the Son of Heaven Sword pressed on his waist. His eyes swept over the kneeling minister, and Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair with an expressionless face.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
After the ministers bowed three times and bowed nine times, Zhu Yijun said loudly: "All the ministers are exempt!" After all the civil officials stood up, Zhu Yijun continued to speak: "Today, I held a court meeting, and I think you Aiqing also know what to do. ”
"Today's public opinion is boiling, and the discussion of doctrines in the court is extremely intense."
"I summoned the Aiqing to come today to prepare to set a century-old national policy for the Ming Dynasty. Whether to continue to act according to the previous ideas, or to promote the ancient doctrine of the cabinet scholars, abolish Song Confucianism, and learn from Han Confucianism. ”
"Or if you advocate Neo-Confucianism, please discuss it."
As soon as Zhu Yijun's words fell, someone stood up below, it was the imperial envoy Chen Gang. Since the establishment of the Department of Law and Discipline and the Department of Corruption, the position of the other envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been in jeopardy.
Everyone can see clearly that the emperor is an important law and discipline department and a corruption department this time, and the other imperial envoys are basically scattered.
Once the emperor made a decree to abolish the rumors, then the end of his own people was doomed. Originally, the imperial envoy and the various departments were basically desperate, but who would have thought that a battle of ideas broke out at this time.
After this incident broke out, these science and technology officials suddenly found their direction.
They know that this is their last chance, and if they can make a sense of existence in this incident, then maybe they will be reused by the emperor, and they will be able to soar just around the corner.
So in this ideological battle, the happiest dancers are these science and Taoist officials.
After Chen Gang stood up, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the ideological dispute is the dispute between the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, and he must be cautious. Throughout the ages, can there be ideological changes? ”
"Of course there is, the Han Dynasty emphasizes Confucianism, so it has the strength of the Han family."
Hearing Chen Gang's words, Zhu Yijun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thought, obviously this is to support Shen Shixing's Chonggu School. This reassured Zhu Yijun a lot, if the opposition fired the first shot, it would be difficult to do it later.
Glancing at the several cabinet scholars standing in front, Zhu Yijun smiled self-deprecatingly.
I really care about it, and now I'm not alone, this idea of the ancient school and the Han Confucianism was put forward by the four of them, and now they should be the most anxious.
Once the matter is passed, their benefits are naturally self-evident, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to leave their names in history.
If things fail, these four people will probably be sent home directly, which is unacceptable to them. So at this time, the people who want things to pass the most are naturally the four of them.
Then it is naturally impossible for them not to make arrangements, and with their own arrangements, it is not a big problem.
After Chen Gang stood up and bitterly expressed his feelings, several more people stood up one after another, basically with Chen Gang, all of whom supported the restructuring and supported the promotion of the ancient school.
As time goes on, more and more people come forward and the ranks are getting higher.
Although there was occasional noise, it was basically drowned in the wave of approval.
"The minister thinks that when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic, and the Ming Dynasty has reached the time when it must be changed." Shen Li, the servant of the ministry, stood on top of the hall and said loudly.
Today, the Ministry of Officials has not been written, Shen Li is temporary, he urgently needs credit to stabilize his position, even if he can't be corrected in the Ministry of Officials, it is good to be transferred to other departments of the Sixth Department to be promoted to Shangshu.
At this time, Shen Li naturally would not go against Zhu Yijun.
"Abolish Song Confucianism, learn Han Confucianism, this is the beginning of my Ming Dynasty's prosperity, please Your Majesty abolish Song Confucianism and learn Han Confucianism!" Saying that, Shen Li knelt directly on the ground and pestle the ground with his head.
With Shen Li's drive, the other officials in the hall also reacted.
The black pressure knelt down in a large area, and all of them shouted loudly, and the momentum shook the sky for a while.
Zhu Yijun still didn't speak, but turned his head to look at the honorable and several cabinet scholars who were still standing, and slowly asked, "Which other Aiqing wants to talk about?" ”
"The old minister has something to say!" At this time, the British public Zhang Rong stood up.
Lifting up his robe, kneeling down like a jade pillar on the gold mountain, Zhang Rong said loudly: "The prosperous era is coming, Zhongxing is hopeful, this is the credit of the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty for their conscientious work, and this is the credit of the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"This is the credit of Your Majesty's Wise Divine Martial Saint Candle."
Everyone looked at the British Duke Zhang Rong with some confusion, and looked at Zhang Rong with some unknown reasons, this is because the Duchy has not come out for a long time, is this coming out just to pat the emperor's ass?
The British Gong Zhang Rong ignored the crowd and continued to say loudly: "Today, Your Majesty's ambition is hidden in the chest and abdomen, and there should be ambitions far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties to create a prosperous dynasty that has never been seen so far. ”
"Today's thoughts of the Ming Dynasty and the system of the Ming Dynasty today are no longer enough for Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please change your course, clean up the roots, open a new chapter in the ages, and create a powerful dynasty that has never been seen in the ages." Speaking of this, the British public dissolved his head and said loudly: "For this reason, the minister is willing to break his bones for His Majesty's rank." ”
With the words of the British public, more than a dozen of Xungui's side suddenly stood up, and all of them knelt down in an uproar.
"The ministers are willing to break their bones to pieces, for the rank of His Majesty."
Da Ming Xungui has been silent for a long time, and this time he stood up, and the momentum was really earth-shattering. In fact, although these nobles of the Ming Dynasty are weak, with the rise of the military, their prestige has changed.
The shock on Xungui's side has not passed, and Qi Jiguang over there has also stood up.
Behind Qi Jiguang are the generals of the Beijing camp and the forbidden army, if Xungui represents the traditional military forces, then these people represent the current military power.
These people hold military power, hold important positions, and are absolutely powerful in the military.
In addition to being powerful people, these people are also hawks in the Ming Dynasty, of course, they can see the benefits of the reform, and the shackles on the generals are lifted with one move, which is really an opportunity to sweep away the haze.
Chonggu, learning from Han Confucianism, what they think of is not Dong Zhongshu, but the famous generals of the Han Dynasty.
The general Wei Qing, the champion Hou Huo is sick, and the famous general Li Guang, which one is not a famous figure. Once they worship Han Confucianism, then do they also have the opportunity to become famous generals like the Han Dynasty.
This is what these generals in the military want, and no one can see the heart of today's martial arts!
"The ministers are willing to break their bones to pieces, for the rank of His Majesty!"
As Qi Jiguang slowly knelt down, the people standing behind Qi Jiguang also knelt down, and the entire hall was quiet. Such a clear statement by the military changed the situation at once.
Obviously, the opposition knows that the tide is turning, and the opposition is ineffective.
Shen Shixing and several other cabinet scholars saw this scene and sighed helplessly, although they helped the emperor, but they also knew that from this day on, the Ming Dynasty would enter a new era.
This new era may not be what they want to see, and the imperial power will once again reach its peak.
They also know that this is irreversible, and the Holy One is working hard today, isn't it just for this day? This is an irreversible trend. It holds the Jinyi Guard of the East Factory and the Internal Affairs Office, and has the strong support of the military and nobles.
Coupled with the prestige of the people and the hardcore supporters among the officials, the emperor has de facto grasped the power of the imperial court.
Since then, the emperor will completely grasp the power of the Ming Dynasty, at least the center of the court has been held in the hands of the emperor. From now on, the problem of the Ming Dynasty is how to carry out the will of the emperor to the localities.
"Okay, in that case, I announce that from today onwards, Da Ming will change his course."
Zhu Yijun stood up abruptly and said loudly, followed by the tsunami-like sound of the mountains below. From this moment on, Zhu Yijun finally became the real emperor of the country.
After the news of the court meeting spread, the outside world was in an uproar.
Although many people thought that it might be like this, but at this time, more people were at a loss. said it was a change of course, but it also came too suddenly.
Zhu Yijun also knew that this was too sudden, but there was no way, Zhu Yijun felt that time was urgent.
After announcing the change of course, Zhu Yijun issued the first holy decree to rebuild the Daming Law. Led by the cabinet scholar Zeng Xingwu, the six ministries and the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, began to formally revise the Daming Law.
Except for this holy decree, Zhu Yijun did not make any other holy decree, and it seems that the matter has passed like this.
But everyone knows that this is only the first step, and the real policy is on the Da Ming Law. Once the revision of the Da Ming Law is completed, then the new policy will be implemented through the Da Ming Law.
The dust settled, and the Ming Dynasty completely opened the fast lane of reform.
Department of Taxation.
Wang Yongji looked at the documents in front of him, and said with a dark face: "These people are really toasting and not eating and drinking. ”
After Wuqing Bofu paid the land payment and three times the fine, the people who built gardens in the entire western suburbs also began to pay the money and fines one after another, and no one dared to delay.
Compared with these nobles, it is the most painful for those temples to pay money.
The time soon entered July, and the summer heat was completely coming, although the doors of Zhu Yijun's hall were open and the windows were open, it still felt unusually stuffy.
In front of Zhu Yijun, there was a row of courtiers, and this was a small meeting.
On the left side, Yin Zhang Guoyan of Shuntian Mansion is the leader, the capital of the five cities, Shi Hai Rui is also here, and behind Hai Rui is Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang. On the other side, Lu Shenxing, the principal of the Civil Service School.
Behind Lu Shenxing, there is another person, Liao Bin, the steward of the Shuntian Mansion of the Internal Affairs Office.
Liao Bin is a man in his thirties, with a thin figure and a mustache. Unlike many people in the Internal Affairs Mansion, he was not born in the inner factory, but in the account office of the Wuqing Bofu.
Being able to be born as an account clerk and be the manager of the Shuntian Mansion of the Internal Affairs Office shows his ability.
"I came to you Aiqing today, and I have something to discuss with Aiqing." Zhu Yijun's gaze swept over everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I have prepared a new plan, you Aiqing can listen to it." ”
Everyone's expressions became serious, only Hai Rui seemed a little excited.
Zhu Yijun didn't know if it was because the people in his medical school had good medical skills, or if his current work made Hai Rui motivated. Hai Rui, who should have died in history, has become more and more energetic in the past two years.
The little old man's energetic appearance made Zhu Yijun a little ashamed.
It may also have something to do with Hai Rui in the capital, you must know that Hai Rui's diet and health are all in charge of special people. Zhu Yijun has already given it to his private doctor as a special benefit to the minister.
Of course, there must be a great meritorious, and you think that anyone can enjoy the treatment of a private doctor in Tai Hospital.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "My plan is to build a new Shuntian, and I want to make the Shuntian Mansion a model for the entire Ming Dynasty." ”
To put it bluntly, it is a reason to concentrate the resources of the whole country to build Shuntianfu, and then radiate outward, and establish four municipalities directly under the central government in later generations.
