Emperor Chongzhen took advantage of the opportunity of the empress giving birth and the ministers to congratulate him, in the name of giving grace to the clan, let the Ministry of Rites directly send a letter to the political envoys in various places, and let the Zongren Mansion directly write to the princes of the local clans, and lifted the ban that the children of the clan were not allowed to engage in the business of the four people.

Emperor Chongzhen's approach suddenly confused many courtiers above the Jingshi court.

The Imperial History and Gossip Officials of the Imperial Procuratorate, the Hanlin Academy, the Zhan Mansion and the Six Branch Corridors seem to have finally found the place where Emperor Chongzhen made a mistake.

Many imperial historians and courtiers wrote letters to impeach Xu Guangqi, the cabinet minister and secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Zongren Decree of the Zongren Mansion, saying that they had written to the political envoys to lift the ban on the clan without the court's deliberation or even the cabinet, which was not only against the system, but also absurd.

Some of them directly wrote to the emperor, and they seemed to be both bitter and earnest, and pointed out that allowing the children of the clan to do business and operate lowly industries not only competed with the people for profits and greatly benefited the ancestral system, but also was not conducive to the eternal stability of the emperor's country and the eternal nature of the sun and the moon.

In short, in the final analysis, it is a sentence, since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has done a good job in any aspect, and he is completely a saint, but about this matter of the Grace Clan, it is indeed wrong, and I implore the emperor to take back his fate.

Regarding the letters and bullets of these courtiers, today's Chongzhen Emperor will not respond in a fuss when he encounters such a thing like the Chongzhen Emperor in the past.

Now, for such a thing, he does not respond at all.

On the one hand, whether it is to return to the cabinet and have the cabinet discuss countermeasures, or to hold a court meeting and openly discuss it at the court meeting, it is a good idea.

On the other hand, the affairs of the clan, in the final analysis, are the affairs of the royal family itself, and once they are handled by the court through the court now, then there will be endless troubles in the future.

Again, this time the emperor asked the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to send the ministry documents to various places, although there is no cabinet countersigned decree or the emperor's official edict is more authoritative and can better represent the Ming court, but this matter itself does not need the provincial political envoys to implement anything, it is just to inform.

If the Ministry of Rites or the Zongren Mansion did not even have such power under the authorization of the emperor, then what else could the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion expect to do in the future?

Especially for those courtiers and imperial historians, who wanted to remind the emperor of the things in the book, Emperor Chongzhen had already thought about it clearly.

There are Jinyiwei and Dongchang, as well as the internal affairs government whose power is rapidly expanding, and Emperor Chongzhen is still worried that the clan kings or clan children in various places can hide what kind of fame they can make?!

He wasn't worried at all.

Besides, if you want to take it, you must give it first.

Although the purpose of lifting the ban on the children of the clan from engaging in the business of the four people is to prepare for the reform of the clan lord system in the future, the practice itself is very much in line with the interests and aspirations of the children of the clan.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, commerce and trade developed rapidly in society, and doing business to get rich has long ceased to be a cheap business.

What Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, wanted to say and stopped saying but didn't say, it is exactly this.

Although the imperial court had a ban on the clans, not allowing them to do business, not allowing them to lease, and not allowing them to engage in the business of the four people, they could not control the desire of the clans in various places to pursue wealth.

In fact, this ban only controlled those obedient and honest people in the end.

At the same time, this is also a good thing for those local officials in the Ming Dynasty who have feudal kings, as well as the political envoys who have feudal fiefs in their jurisdictions.

These princes, county kings, town generals, and other idle clan children are not just parasites everywhere, but also vampires everywhere for the local governments and officials all over the world.

If these clan disciples can also support themselves, the local government can also reduce the pressure of supplying Lu rice.

Although the letters of the imperial historians from all walks of life were very lively, no one in the cabinet made a sound.

Among the cabinet ministers in Beijing today, Sun Chengzong is now focused on straightening out the heavy military affairs of the New Fifth Army Governor's Office, unless the emperor consults, as the Minister of Military Aircraft, he rarely speaks easily about government affairs.

And Xu Guangqi, another cabinet minister, is one of the parties to this matter, and there is no possibility of speaking out.

The rest is the first assistant of the cabinet, Li Guobo.

Although Li Guodi has always been impeached and attacked by some young imperial historians and officials, he has been sitting firmly in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet of the Chongzhen Dynasty for more than three years, and the reason why he can do this is because he has found his own way to settle down.

For those trivial things that have nothing to do with the overall situation, he can show that he is different from the emperor, and even dare to argue with the emperor and speak for hundreds of officials, but he must be consistent with the emperor in terms of national policies that the emperor personally proposed.

It is very good, that is, those different opinions in the court are forwarded through the cabinet as they are, so that even if you don't speak, you can let the emperor know the opposing opinions.

As for this matter about the clan, Emperor Chongzhen did not go through the cabinet to handle it, which made him a little dissatisfied.

But other than that, he knew very well that this was the first step for His Majesty the Emperor to solve the problem of the clan, and no one could stop it unless the sky fell.

Therefore, in addition to forwarding those opposing and critical opinions to Emperor Chongzhen, so that Emperor Chongzhen knew that the opinions of the court and China were not consistent, he himself was of course silent.

In this way, no one in the cabinet and the bigwigs in the DPRK and China spoke, but some imperial historians were jumping around, which naturally had no effect.

It didn't take long for Emperor Chongzhen to leave these opposing folds in the middle, and their voices of opposition were drowned out in the piles of congratulatory tables congratulating the birth of the eldest son of the royal concubine in various places outside Beijing.

The Ming Dynasty, which had been in the last days, saw that it had regained its vitality step by step, and now the queen gave birth to the eldest son for the emperor, and the government has been more stable since then, and it is on the right track.

In this world, few people do things that are charcoal in the snow.

When the Ming Dynasty saw that the building was about to collapse, the most people were the people who fell into the well.

But when the Ming Dynasty showed signs of prosperity, many people were willing to rush to do this icing on the cake.

Not only did the vassal kings, governors, and retainers from all over the country congratulate them, but even Condenius, the new head of the Jesuits in China, came out to give gifts to the newborn prince.

On the morning of the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Condenius, the missionary of the Jesuit president in China, who had disappeared from the capital of the Ming Dynasty for more than half a year, was led by Jiang Yueguang, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Court, to enter the palace for another audience.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! Condenius, a believer in God, salutes you! Hearing that your queen has given birth to an undisputed heir to your empire, on behalf of the Jesuit missionaries in the Ming Dynasty, I would like to extend my sincerest congratulations to you and your queen! ”

Since coming to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming official language of this Condinius began to advance by leaps and bounds, and when Long Huamin and others led the missionaries to the west to preach and died in Taozhou, this Condinius completely replaced the status of Long Huamin, and became the representative of the Jesuit missionaries in China.

This is not Europe, this is China.

Therefore, this time, Condinius followed Jiang Yueguang, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Court, and as soon as he entered the study of the Qianqing Palace, he saw Emperor Chongzhen sitting among the imperial attendants and military attachés waiting for him, and immediately knelt on the ground and said flattering words.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! In order to thank you for allowing the Jesuits to freely spread the Gospel of God in the land west of the Ming Dynasty, and for agreeing to the Jesuits to form a security corps to hire escorts to resist the attacks of the Muslims, and also to express our sincerest congratulations to you on having an heir, this time we bring you the most sincere gift of the Jesuits - Geeer pistool, which the Portuguese and English call Rifle gun! An East India Company musket that has just been installed! ”
