At the end of the first day of the first lunar month, Zhu Zhanji met with the Kong family and his party.

Because of the compilation of "The State and the Nation", Zhu Zhanji was much kinder to the people of the Kong family this time, not only met them in a friendly voice, but also restored Kong Yanjin to the title of Yansheng Gong.

According to Zhu Zhanji's meaning, the main reason why the Confucian family was able to derive the theory of the state and the nation from the Confucian classics and Zhou Yi with ancient texts was to restore the title.

Zhu Zhanji still uses the Shangkong family, so he naturally doesn't mind giving them a little sweetness.

After all, they are saints, and the words that come out of their mouths are authoritative. This point is not comparable to Xie Jin, the first genius of the Ming Dynasty.

The book "The State and the Nation" compiled by them, once it is published this time, will become the theoretical and ideological guidance of the entire Ming Dynasty, and this merit is greater than fighting a great victory and conquering a country.

In the future, no matter who it is, if it is a dispute within the nation, it will be forgotten, and if there is another foreign invasion, I am afraid that no one will dare to take refuge in the enemy.

The people of this era are more pure than the later generations, and they are also more pure than the later generations.

When there is no national righteousness, anyone may seek refuge in a foreign race for the sake of the family, but with the guidance of theoretical thinking, people will be restricted by this kind of moral etiquette.

As long as there are no traitors, the Chinese nation will never be conquered by a foreign race.

And treating the Kong family well this time also made Zhu Zhanji's reputation in Shilin much better.

In May this year, Zhu Zhanji directly dismantled the Kong family, although there was no backlash, but it did not have a good impact on his reputation.

Confucius's prestige in this era was much higher than that of later generations, and almost all scholars considered themselves to be disciples of Confucius.

Although Confucius is Confucius and the Confucian family is the Confucian family, in the eyes of many people, treating the Confucian family well means respecting the scholars.

The end of the first day of the new year, which represents the beginning of the new year of the year, whether it is high-ranking officials and nobles, or ordinary people, have entered the procedure of visiting relatives and friends.

The palace has also opened its curfew this year, not only Zhu Zhanji's concubines, but even Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi's concubines have also received notices earlier that they can meet their relatives between the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

This incident had little impact on Zhu Zhanji, because his concubines were all young. If you have a child, you are worried about the child, and if you don't have a child, you are thinking about gaining a firm foothold.

And those concubines like Zhu Di, many of them have been in the palace for 20 years, and they are rarely allowed to meet their relatives, and now they are all grateful to Zhu Zhanji.

The great pilgrimage meeting on the sixth day of the first lunar month represents the beginning of the year.

On this day, Zhu Zhanji promulgated two decrees to formally enact. It was announced that the Ming Dynasty would abolish foot binding from now on, and it would be illegal to bind feet in any form.

The second decree abolished the funeral system. In the future, whether it is the royal family, civil and military officials, or ordinary people, they will not be allowed to be forced to be martyred in the future.

Because Zhu Zhanji had proposed the first decree at the opening ceremony of the Keju Contest before, most of the people were already mentally prepared.

But the second decree Zhu Zhanji has never been announced before, and as soon as this decree came out, the concubines in the palace had a better impression of Zhu Zhanji.

Most of these concubines in the palace have nothing to offer. They can't be favored by Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, and they don't have much affection for them.

Even so, if Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi die, they will also be buried.

No one doesn't want to live, most women don't want to be buried, and now that Zhu Zhanji has abolished the funeral system, how can they not be grateful to Dade!

Zhu Zhanji has been busy meeting the concubine's relatives in addition to the necessary entertainment these days.

His son-in-law is very relaxed, these mothers-in-law, the old father-in-law does not have the publicity of later generations, but instead married his daughter to Zhu Zhanji, and bowed to Zhu Zhanji.

Even so, they still consider it a great honor.

Zhu Zhanji took a little time to meet them, which was not a difficult thing for him, but they were extremely moved.

They also did their best to send heavy gifts to their daughters, but Zhu Zhanji ordered them to go down, and most of the gifts were returned except for the necessary gifts.

Not only that, each concubine was treated equally, and the internal supervisor came forward, and all of them prepared a return gift for them to return with a full load.

The abolition of the funeral made the atmosphere in the entire palace much better, and Zhu Gaochi's concubines were also relieved.

Zhu Di's health is fine, but Zhu Gaochi has been critically ill several times, and his concubines are all worried, for fear that as soon as Zhu Gaochi goes, they will be buried together.

Now, they don't have to worry.

This decree made Zhu Gaochi a little displeased, and on the night of the sixth day of the first lunar month, He Chun specially asked Zhu Zhanji to speak in Wenhua Palace.

As soon as they met, he asked: "Such a big matter, if you don't discuss it with your imperial ancestor, and you don't tell me, you will directly issue an order!" ”

Although he was called Renzong in later generations, Zhu Gaochi still has the typical thoughts of people of this era.

Zhu Zhanji just replied: "Who is not raised by his father and mother, how can he be willing to be forced to be martyred because of the death of his husband?" What's more, the child is just not allowed to be forced to be buried, and if a female relative is willing to be buried, the child does not care. ”

In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, the people were rarely martyred. Even in order to increase the population, the woman was only thirty years old, and the court had to arrange for him to marry.

In this era, it is not popular to have any chastity archway, and it will not be popular until the late Ming Dynasty, when the population enters the explosive stage, and there are more people and fewer places.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's answer, Zhu Gaochi sighed. He knew very well that his son had grown up, even better than he had done on his own.

Except for being a father, he has no advantage in front of this son. But his father's shelf can't be put on it often, after all, Zhu Zhanji is the grandson of the prison country, under one person, above ten thousand.

If it hurts this son's face, no one knows what he will do.

He can already feel the entire internal prison, Jingwei's house arrest of him, although this is arranged by Zhu Di, but without Zhu Zhanji's permission, he will not always be so strictly supervised.

Yang Pu was released from the prison, but he has not been able to enter the palace so far. You don't have to think about it to know whose handiwork it is.

Zhu Gaochi was also heartbroken, this is his own son, but for the sake of power, he also denied it.

He knows very well that in the face of power, the relationship between father and son must be in the back row, but what happened to him still makes him sad.

"Yang Pu sent me a letter a few years ago, he has followed his father for more than ten years, and I want to meet him."

Of course, Zhu Zhanji knew about this, and he knew exactly what was written in the letter.

Yang Pu is talented and eloquent, but that's all. Zhu Zhanji didn't let him enter the palace, not because he was afraid that something would happen to him, but just to not give Zhu Gaochi hope.

So he replied, "The boy already knows about it, and after the fifteenth year, his father will go to the other house to recuperate, and he will surely let him go with him." ”

Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Zhanji's eyes and asked, "Can't you see you now?" I am your father! ”

Zhu Zhanji sighed, looked at Zhu Gaochi calmly and said, "Father, the problem is not whether you see him or not, but the meaning behind this matter. The child never meant to put his father under house arrest, but he just didn't want his father to make some right and wrong and let others separate our father-son relationship. ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly, turned around and slept on the inside of the bed. "Go ahead, why is it so......"

"Father is resting well, tomorrow the child will let Yang Pu enter the palace."

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's footsteps leaving, Zhu Gaochi turned his body and lay on the couch, looking at the roof in a daze.

Although it seems that he has won, since Zhu Zhanji has already spoken, he will definitely not dare to make any moves.

Because he didn't dare to do anything to himself, but he could release Yang Pu today, and he could put him in again tomorrow.

He Chun looked at Zhu Gaochi lying on the bed, and didn't dare to make a sound. However, Zhu Gaochi did not forget him, and said: "Let Concubine Shu and Concubine Li press Lonely, I have slept for a long time, and my body is very tired." ”

He Chun responded lightly and quietly walked out of the house. He knew that Zhu Gaochi was unhappy, and he wanted to find some sense of existence in women.

But he also didn't want to think, could his body stand it?

When Zhu Zhanji left the side hall, Zhang asked the eunuch Ambassador Guo beside him to stop him. Following Ambassador Guo to the apse, Zhang also met with many ladies and daughters today, and asked people to help her press her body at this time.

Zhu Zhanji came in to say hello, and she sent the others away, sat up, and let Zhu Zhanji sit on the edge of the bed. "What did your father tell you to do again?"

"Maybe because the child abolished the funeral, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and said a few words to the child."

The Zhang family had no worries about the funeral, as the future queen mother, the women of the harem were dead, and it was not her turn to be martyred.

After listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, she looked at Zhu Zhanji's face again before saying, "Your father is not happy, but you don't want to be wronged." Since ancient times, for thousands of years, there has been no burial system, and Junji you abolished it, which is a good thing. ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "The child didn't think so far, but he didn't want the female relatives in the palace to be panicked. They don't have to worry, there will be a lot more laughter in this palace. ”

Zhang nodded, and said: "I met Duchess Xia Guo today, she is old now, and her life is not going well. ”

Zhu Zhanji frowned and asked, "The child hasn't heard of any disharmony, what's going on?" ”

Duchess Xia is the old wife of Gu Cheng, the deceased Duke of Xia, who was hereditary Marquis of Zhenyuan because of his merits, and was posthumously crowned Duke Xia.

Their family is also full of loyalty, a family of eight sons, four were killed by Emperor Jianwen, and one was killed on the battlefield.

Now there are three sons alive, but the successor to the family lord is the eldest grandson Gu Xingzu, who is now also the commander of the Fourth Fleet.

Zhang said: "Gu Xingzu is not in the capital, and the older the three sons are, the more worry-free they are, and they have a lot of thoughts. Although Duchess Xia Guo did not say it explicitly, she could also see that she was unhappy and wanted to go to Guangzhou Bay to seek refuge with her eldest grandson despite her old age. ”

"Gu Xingzu is now in the West, and he is not in Guangzhou Bay, not to mention how can he let an octogenarian woman go far away at this time. The kids will pay attention to it......"

Zhang nodded and said: "When you Uncle Yun Wei killed her four sons at once, I met her with your grandmother at that time, and she didn't shed a single tear, but today she is full of tears." It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, so don't make a big fuss, see what happened, and help the old lady solve her worries. ”

Zhu Zhan basically had the intention to rectify the nobles in the capital, and he kept Zheng Neng in Beijing just to let him help him deal with this matter.

Now that the officials are clear and clear, the rewards are sufficient, and most of the military generals and noble families do not have the bad habit of eating empty salaries.

But most of the nobles in the capital have passed three generations, and the flashy life of three generations has raised a lot of gentlemen.

These people dare not make big mistakes, but they keep making small mistakes.

It turned out that Gu Zuo was in charge of Ying Tianfu Yin, and he enforced the law impartially and punished many noble children.

Now that Zhao Shan has taken over his position, Zhao Shan is okay to lead the army to fight, and this public security management is not his forte.

Although Zhu Zhanji did not pay special attention, there are many intelligence sources, and it is very clear that the atmosphere in the capital is not as good as before.

Among them, these noble children are the main reason.

Zhu Zhanji wanted to take the opportunity to punish him, and then he was sent to the army for training. When Zhu Di returned and the great migration began, he sent them all overseas.

This expedition overseas is a beauty difference for young people with ideals, but it is fatal for these gentlemen.

It is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to dismantle his own platform when he is still in his fledgling, after all, the stability of the army is the most important thing, and he cannot offend the noble class all at once.

This thing is to be done, and it is also necessary to pay attention to strategy and step by step.

After returning to Xingqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji asked Sun Lin to arrange for someone to find out what happened in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

In this matter, the intelligence network of the Advisory Intelligence Department is not as good as Jinyiwei. All the provinces in the capital have the dark line of Jinyiwei.

The next day, Yang Zhangde sent the information to Zhu Zhanji's desk.

At the beginning, Gu Tong, the son of the Gu family, became the commander of Pudingwei, but because Gu Cheng defected to Zhu Di, they were killed by Zhu Yunwen.

The three remaining sons are the youngest sons.

Over the years, they have also been blinded by their fathers, and they are all named in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and receive a share of money and food.

Compared with the five elder brothers who died above, they are typical gentlemen, especially after Gu Cheng died, they all got married, lived separately, and had a small calculation.

They don't have any great evil, the key is that they take a fancy to the family property left by the Gu family. Gu Xingzu is not in the capital, they can't count on this title, and they can't count on it, and they can say it if they want some silver.

But for the sake of silver, the three brothers made a lot of trouble, and the troublesome old mother went to the palace to complain, which is beyond words.

"Your Highness, this Gu family's seventh elder has hung an empty title in my Jinyi Guard, and if you want to deal with them, it's just a matter of one sentence."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "This is not a matter of punishing them, but to use them to use this matter to rectify those rice worms among the nobles in the capital." Daming can't support idlers, nor can he let them lie on the merits of their ancestors and do nothing. ”

"Then ......" Yang Zhangde is not a general, and he can't give a better opinion.

Zhu Zhanji said to Jin Kuo: "In the past two days, you go to Niushou Mountain and ask Zhu Yong to arrange a camp, which is a little bigger." Now this noble family in the capital, all those who do not have a proper position, are ready to throw all of them there. ”
