Chapter 623: Heavy Reward
readx;
For the people of later generations, this thing is not only a night pot, but also a sword hanging over the head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the golden rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang, after Zhu Yuanzhang set the world, he almost created a system that he thought was the most perfect, which almost blocked all the drawbacks of the previous dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang was even proud of this at that time, thinking that as long as the descendants of later generations follow his system, then the Ming Dynasty is enough to pass on to the eternal age.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang personally issued an edict that future generations must not change their ways, and must not change the system he carefully created.
It's just that...... The descendants seem to have a lot of respect for this Emperor Taizu, whether it is Emperor Wen or the emperors of later generations, almost all of them keep supporting the ancestral system and want to implement the ancestral system to the end. Of course, this is just a slogan, just like Emperor Nawen, what he said in his mouth was high-sounding, under the banner of restoring the ancestral system, but secretly the so-called ancestral system was changed beyond recognition, Zhu Yuanzhang said that the sea should be banned, and the board should not go to sea, Zhu Di organized the largest fleet in history. Zhu Yuanzhang said that eunuchs were not allowed to participate in government affairs, but the eunuchs appeared one after another, and even for a considerable period of time, the status of the celebrant was enough to compete with the cabinet. What Zhu Yuanzhang says, his children and grandchildren will support him, but this is just support, what do you want to do, how can you do it?
In later generations, there is a saying called the red flag against the red flag, in fact, the Ming Dynasty is roughly the same, everyone is under the banner of Taizu, but it is the original intention of Taizu.
Therefore...... From this point of view, Emperor Taizu's so-called ancestral law is actually a fart.
But then again, the ancestral system is a signboard, the emperors ascended the throne, if they dare to break the ancestral law of Emperor Taizu in the official face, then it is equivalent to losing the legal surname of the regime, therefore, another problem arises, Taizu said, the piece is not allowed to go to the sea, so Emperor Wen issued an edict over and over again, saying that it was to implement a sea ban, although his fleet has repeatedly gone to the Western Ocean. Taizu said that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and the emperors also repeat this line one by one, although the status of the eunuchs is even far beyond that of the previous dynasty.
In other words, although Zufa is a fart, this gold-lettered signboard has to be hung high, and it must not be denied in the official face.
Zufa, in a sense, is a national policy.
And what Li Dongyang wants to say is the national policy, the national policy of valuing agriculture and lowly businessmen, so he has to be cautious.
"Your Majesty, the reason why once something happens to Liu Chengfeng, the market will fluctuate, and once Liu Chengfeng is safe and sound, the market will recover strongly, this is not actually the reason for Liu Chengfeng. It is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty. The businessmen can have what they are today, all thanks to Liu Chengfeng's vigorous efforts, and in the imperial court, Liu Chengfeng is the biggest force to support them. And once Liu Chengfeng had an accident, the businessmen were afraid that the court would change course, so the people were panicked, so the market was depressed, which caused such a crisis. Lao Chen thought that if he wanted to completely solve this problem, the only way was for the imperial court to set up this national policy in the official face and tell the people of the world that the Ming Dynasty was equal to farmers and workers, and the Ming Dynasty relied on both farmers and industry and commerce. In this way, the doubts of the merchants will be gone......"
Li Dongyang's words made Zhu Youzhu frown again and again, even if the imperial court wants to pursue this national policy, but if it is set in the official face, he does not dare to promise it easily, after all, issuing this will is equivalent to completely overthrowing the ancestral system, this is not a joke.
Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said, "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and it should not be tried." ”
Before Li Dongyang discussed it deeply, the emperor did not hesitate to veto, in fact, when he said it, Li Dongyang knew that the ending was destined to be like this, so he also expected it, so he said: "It's just that it's not appropriate to go on like this, and it's not a way to spend it like this." ”
Zhu Youzhu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I also know the difficulties here, but the court is also difficult, Shinong Industry and Commerce, this is the rule set by the ancestors, how can it be broken in my hands, and it can only be like this now, isn't the market now restored?" I heard that overnight, the homeless people in this capital were swept away, and everyone had a job, a salary, a meal, and a family to support, and this can only be the case for the time being, and then the court will find another way. ”
Zhu Youzhu obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he immediately changed the topic: "I heard that Liu Chengfeng's wife is happy, hey, it's not easy for him, this is a good thing, let the East Palace go to congratulate me, even if it is to express my meaning on behalf of me." ”
Zhu Youzhu looked relieved, and then said: "This time, Liu Chengfeng sent a tile spur and made a great contribution, and his envoy not only made this tile thorn temporarily no longer a threat to my Ming Dynasty, but also completely weakened their strength. In addition, he took the new army and killed 3,000 avant-garde people in the tile spur tent, which is also a brilliant feat, it can be regarded as a raised eyebrows for my Ming Dynasty, this matter should be well publicized and promoted, I have rarely had such a big victory in the Ming Dynasty, and the propaganda can boost the morale of the army and the people, the last time Pingyuan Fort was attacked by the tile thorns, so that my Ming billion soldiers and civilians are full of righteous indignation, this great victory, but also let everyone know that the court is not weak and can be bullied, the tile spur people dare to kill my border army and people, the court will retaliate and seek justice. ”
"Of course, the most important thing is Liu Chengfeng's reward, in the past, Liu Chengfeng's reward was my idea, but now, I have to ask everyone to ask, after all, Liu Chengfeng is different now."
The three cabinet scholars present did not understand what Zhu Youzhang meant, the so-called difference is that if Liu Chengfeng goes further, his status will already become a bigwig. This matter must be discussed with everyone, after all, the promotion of the captain to a hundred households may not be a big deal for the imperial court, and the promotion of a hundred households to a thousand households is not a big deal. But it's a different story when you go any further.
Liu Chengfeng's merits can be seen by everyone. In addition, the emperor also said that this great victory should be a good momentum, since it wants to build momentum, it will attract the attention of people all over the world, and everyone in the world knows that Liu Chengfeng has made great contributions, so he will definitely want to know what rewards Liu Chengfeng has received for these achievements. If the court can't say something, who will dare to do their best in the future? Therefore, to build momentum for this so-called victory, we must also build momentum in terms of the court's rewards, so that everyone in the world knows that the court has clear rewards and punishments.
Since Zhu Youzhu has made a decision, the next thing to discuss is not the question of whether to reward Liu Chengfeng or not, but how to reward it, not only to reward, but also to reward the famous hall, so that the people of the world can take a good look at it and set Liu Chengfeng as an example.
Li Dongyang was silent at this time, whether he was promoted or rich, or entered the knighthood, in fact, it was no longer a matter for him to make up his mind, now he is not only a Jinyi guard, but also a national prince, if he enters the knighthood, he will be the king of the county, this is ...... How could he dare to speak lightly, a cabinet scholar, to put it bluntly, his surname is the king of the county, which in itself is a violation of the ancestral law.
At the same time, if it is promoted, then there is the same knowledge in this matter, but the promotion of the same knowledge, in fact, the status has not changed much, but the official has been promoted by one level, and it is not a heavy reward. Then go one step further, it is the commander, the commander of the Jinyi Guard is definitely a figure that cannot be ignored in the imperial court, after all, this is the first spy agency of the foreign court, with many personnel, and the authority is not small, and it can even swing and influence the decisions of the imperial court, which should not be underestimated. Therefore, the candidate for the commander of the Jinyi Guard is not something that the cabinet minister can say, and the people who can generally hold this position are only responsible to the emperor, and they must be the most trusted and relied on in the palace.
Zhu Youzhu saw that everyone was silent, but his eyes unconsciously looked at Liu Ji, Zhu Youzhu said very meaningfully: "What I mean, is that the commander Wantong is already old, and he has written many times to claim that he is old, and I remember that he is old, hey...... I plan to approve his old recital tomorrow. The position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard is also vacant, I think about it, and I haven't found a suitable candidate for the time being, but this Liu Chengfeng can barely hold it, I can rest assured of him, Liu Aiqing, what should you do? ”
Liu Ji didn't speak for a while, but now Zhu Youzhu meant something and asked himself. Where could he not understand that His Majesty asked him, not to respect his opinion, but to make him express an attitude. Liu Ji said almost without thinking: "Your Majesty, Liu Chengfeng has made outstanding achievements, and now he is the commander of the envoy, since there is a vacancy in this commander, it is not necessary for him to replace him." Liu Chengfeng is a little confused, but then again, at the moment he is indeed the most complete candidate, and Weichen has no opinion. ”
At this juncture, Liu Ji could only falsely follow Zhu Youjiao's intentions, even if he felt disgusting, but under the roof, he had to bow his head.
When Zhu Youzhu heard Liu Ji say this, he immediately laughed and said, "If even Liu Aiqing thinks so, then presumably there should be nothing wrong with my appointment and dismissal." Li Aiqing, Xie Aiqing, what do you think? ”
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian naturally guessed what the emperor meant, to be honest, Liu Chengfeng's contribution this time is really not small, the court must take some rewards that can be handled, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the people of the world, since this is the case, they naturally have no need to make trouble, the two of them said together: "Weichen has no objection." ”
Zhu Youzhu slapped his thigh, and then clapped his hand and said, "Just do it." ”
