"They are not only the subordinates of the king of Yu, but also the courtiers of my Ming Dynasty, and they serve for them, but I am the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty, since they are my courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, they are guilty and innocent, and they should have the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and they have their own three divisions to judge. Why do you need to do this? What old grudges do you have with them, and you want to get rid of them quickly with my hands? Zhu Qizhen's voice was not high, but the bleak chill in his words penetrated the bottom of everyone's hearts...... "...... The ministers are momentarily dizzy, please forgive your majesty. Xu Youzhen bowed down again, with a sad face and a crying voice, seeing that Xu Youzhen was like this, those civil and military ministers bowed their heads and pleaded to Zhu Qizhen in frustration.

In short, they understood that the son of heaven in front of them was definitely not a character who was easy to fool. That Zhang Xuan bowed his head and confessed his guilt, and on the other hand, he cast his complaining gaze on Shi Heng in front of him, if it weren't for this guy who was talking flatteringly in front of him, as if he and others could persuade Zhu Qizhen to kill those ministers who were favored by Zhu Qiyu, then those vacant positions would become their own.

And Shi Heng's face was ashen at the moment, and his body on the ground couldn't help but be a little shaky, he was really blinded by the lard, how could he believe Xu Youzhen's bastard words, looking at Zhu Qizhen's attitude today, Shi Heng's heart was cold, he knew that some of the feelings he had cultivated in the past on the grassland had been buried by his own hands.

Yes, he accompanied Zhu Qizhen to fight all the way on the prairie, and as he built more and more merits, his morale became higher and higher, and Zhu Qizhen's attitude towards himself made Shi Heng feel that he was the first general of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest were just a group of soy sauce goods.

And after accompanying Zhu Qizhen to the Beijing Division, Yang Hong's old wound relapsed, and Zhu Qizhen temporarily handed over the military power of the Beijing Division Battalion to Shi Heng at the first time.

And himself, with you Zhu Qizhen was born and died for so long, after arriving in Jingshi, he only let himself temporarily replace Yang Hong, which made Shi Heng quite dissatisfied, and in the end, after Xu Youzhen, who took refuge in him, found out Shi Heng's thoughts, he spoke cleverly and persuaded Shi Heng.

After that, Shi Heng dragged around again, got a group of officials with the same mind as him, and came here.

--------------------However, Shi Heng never thought that in Zhu Qizhen's heart, or in the eyes of Zhu Qizhen who has traveled to the present day in the future, his surname Shi Heng has long been known to him, and today's performance is afraid that it will be sooner or later.

And Zhu Qizhen also happened to take it, and these guys came to open the knife, kill chickens and respect monkeys, so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could think clearly and see clearly, Lao Tzu Zhu Qizhen was not one of those puppet emperors who stayed in the deep palace and didn't know anything, and only played by those subordinates all day long.

In the Chongzhi Palace, where is the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who is satisfied when he first enters the palace, and his posture is like a nest of quails hugging in the ice and snow.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger" Yuan Bin couldn't help but be anxious when he saw this situation, he didn't know why Zhu Qizhen was so angry, after all, Zhu Qizhen was usually angry and annoyed, and reprimanded people, and he had never done this. hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although these ministers have selfish intentions, the decision is in your hands after all, Your Majesty, if you don't allow it, who in the world dares to disobey?" ”

Of course, Zhu Qizhen will not explain to Yuan Bin at this time why he wants to use the topic to play, but looking at the performance of these guys, his fire today is almost the same, I believe that it will leave a very deep impression on them, so that they will always remember what kind of son Lao Tzu is.

"When you go home, think about what I said today, I hope you will remember a sentence, I will give it to you, I will give it, you can't rob it. Otherwise, Hugh blames me for not being emotional. Leaving this sentence aside, Zhu Qizhen strode out of the Chongzhi Palace, leaving behind more than a dozen civil and military ministers with sweaty clothes and gray faces.

Looking at Zhu Qizhen's back, Shi Heng opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't call out, and now, Shi Heng found that his careful thoughts, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, were simply a prank that could not be put on the stage. My career, after experiencing this time, I am afraid that it has come to an end.

"Your Majesty, are you too impatient to do this, although the Jingshi is now under our control, but after all, the time is still short, and Shi Heng, Zhang Xuan and others are all generals in the army, and they are quite prestigious." Yuan Bin knew Zhu Qizhen, so sometimes, when he spoke, he wouldn't be so respectful, but he knew that Zhu Qizhen didn't care too much about this, but preferred them to communicate with each other with a more natural attitude.

"I know what you mean, but I have to." Zhu Qizhen walked slowly along the shore of the cold and bleak Zhongnanhai Lake, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want another Wang Zhen to appear. Let him stay at home, think about it, think about it, and continue to serve the court, if he can't figure it out, or if he still has selfishness in his heart, then I won't let them stay in those key positions. ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Yuan Bin couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and he already understood what Zhu Qizhen said, yes, the reason why Zhu Qizhen became a prisoner of the tile spur in the first place was precisely because he favored the eunuchs too much, although Shi Heng and the others were not lieutenant officials, but they had quite prestige in the army, and they also had military power, at this point, even Wang Zhen, a eunuch who was disgusted by foreign ministers, had an advantage beyond the reach.

Such a person, once he gains power and has no scruples, for the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely a greater disaster than a eunuch like Wang Zhen in power.

"If I want to build a new Ming Empire, I need to put all my efforts into it, and I hope that the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty can also be like me and put their minds on the country. Instead of letting them put all their minds on internal fighting, how many dynasties have we experienced in China for thousands of years, and how many dynasties have been destroyed by external enemies because of endless internal strife? Isn't Yuan Qing clear? ”

Yuan Bin nodded sympathetically. "Your Majesty, the Han, Jin, Tang and many other dynasties have suffered a great decline in national strength due to civil strife and strife, and in the end, they have been taken advantage of by foreign races."

"Yes, I don't want my Ming Dynasty to repeat the mistakes of the dynasties, then I need to change, and I need to change, I need to work together, unify as one, and accumulate decades of work to succeed, but unfortunately, although I have ambitions, I can only see those who are suspicious and selfish. Tell me, can I not be annoyed? ”

Zhu Qizhen walked to a boulder that was half-leaning into the lake and took a deep breath. "Yuan Qing, you, Ha Ming, Wei Mingtong, you are not only my henchmen, but also my right-hand man, there are some things that can only be said to you, and only you can understand my thoughts."

"Some ministers, although they are on my side, what they do is also the Ming Dynasty's society, but there are some things that have ossified their brains, or in their eyes, the law of the ancestors is the greatest, so what I want to do will be very difficult."

"Your Majesty, the ministers know in their hearts that you are for me for thousands of years, although the ministers are not talented, they are also willing to smear your majesty's liver and brain." Hearing the bitterness and emotion revealed in Zhu Qizhen's words, Yuan Bin, who was in a stirred mood, said to Zhu Qizhen respectfully.

-------------------- "Get up, Yuan Bin, I have an important matter for you to do." Zhu Qizhen raised his hand and patted Yuan Bin's shoulder. Qing Ke still remembers that I was in Xuanfu, because I wanted to build a trading company, because of the shortage of manpower in the account room, so I specially built an arithmetic school in that Xuanfu, and now not only has a large number of talents for the trading company, but also many businessmen outside Xuanfu are also interested in giving people to study. ”

"Exactly, what does Your Majesty mean when you mention this?" Yuan Bin couldn't help but be stunned, and asked.

"You must know that Xuanfu Trading Company has half of my shares, and now that I have ascended the throne as the son of the Great Tomorrow, those imperial villages will naturally belong to me. Huangzhuang has a lot of land, but the income is less than half of the income of ordinary people. This shows that the eunuchs who manage those imperial villages are afraid that they have done a lot of tricks here. When Zhu Qizhen said this, he couldn't help but smile coldly.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty's Huangzhuang is a new thing that began to appear during the Yongle Emperor period, that is, when he was the king of Yan, he obtained those fields, and later, he became the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and what should I do with those fields?

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, or to commemorate his past, in short, Zhu Di seems to be reluctant to directly return to the state, and treats these properties that his father Zhu Yuanzhang gave him as the emperor's private property, called the emperor's house.

The distribution of Huangzhuang is also mainly concentrated in Shuntian and other eight prefectures in Beizhili. Especially in Shuntian, Baoding, Hejian and other prefectures are the most. After Zhu Qizhen read the information, he knew that there were thirteen imperial villages under his name.

There are many sources of land in Huangzhuang. Among them, there are mainly the land of the grazing horse and grass factory that originally belonged to the official land of the state, the farmland that was recaptured and repossessed by the relatives, the land that was encroached upon, the part of the official and civilian land donated by the "annihilation of the people" to the eunuchs in Guanzhuang, and the return of the land to the royal palace of the feudal domain.

And in the land of Gyeonggi alone, there are four Huangzhuang, covering an area of more than 9,008 hectares, which makes Zhu Qizhen secretly smack his tongue when he first sees it, these lands alone, combined, are equivalent to the sum of the land of one or two counties.

However, the output of these imperial villages made Zhu Qizhen curious, that is, with so many fields and so many fields, the average income per mu was less than half of the tax paid by the people per mu of land.

Zhu Qizhen simply recruited a few officials, and a few eunuchs came to question, this inquiry, this understanding of what is going on.

Most of the internal management personnel of the imperial village are directly appointed by the palace to manage the eunuchs, and there are dozens of officials and schools, village heads, family members, etc. The eunuchs in charge of the village relied on their power to brutally exploit the peasants, causing the peasants to shake the grievances and even beat the county officials.

And those county officials can't control it, after all, those guys are all sent by the palace, and if you want to punish those people, aren't you offending the eunuch group? And even some eunuchs in charge of Zhuang actually used the name of the Son of Heaven to vainly refer to the people's fields and make them dedicate them to the imperial village, but these fields were hidden and not reported, and became the private property of those eunuchs who were in charge of the village.
