"The Royal Minister's House?"

After listening to Li Yuntian's idea, Zhang's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of surprise, it was the first time she heard the yamen named "Royal", and then nodded thoughtfully, and said in her mouth, "Okay, this name is both atmospheric and appropriate, and it is really the best choice." ”

The reason why Zhang is full of praise for the "Royal Academy" is precisely because of the word "royal", and the thing she is most worried about is that Li Yuntian is secretly expanding his strength in the name of the new-style school, and the word "royal" has made it clear that Li Yuntian has no intention of taking charge of the new-style school, and handed it over to the orthodox emperor for disposal, which undoubtedly dispelled her concerns.

Not only that, but when the industries related to the new school are established in the future, they will be placed under the name of the orthodox emperor, which will strengthen the imperial power, which is exactly what the Zhang family wants.

Jin Ying's face showed an excited look when he heard this, the royal property has always been under the jurisdiction of the inner court, and the strength of the inner court will be strengthened for this.

But soon Jin Ying's expression became stern, because he felt that Li Yuntian did not want to hand over those properties to the inner court, otherwise it would not be so troublesome to establish a new yamen.

"Empress Dowager, as far as the minister knows, the population of the imperial family in various places has doubled since the Yongle Dynasty, and the imperial court spends a lot of money for this every year, and the population will double in time, and the imperial court will pay a huge amount of expenses for this, which is not good for my Ming Dynasty in the long run."

Seeing that the Zhang family was very satisfied with the name he had given to the new yamen, Li Yuntian pondered for a while and said, "Although Emperor Taizu cherishes the children of the imperial family and allows them to enjoy the support of the imperial court and have no worries about food and clothing, the ministers think that the children of the imperial family are nobles and nobles, and they should take the lead in sharing the worries of the emperor, and in the long run, they should let the children of the imperial family participate in military and political affairs to serve the Ming Dynasty." ”

"In addition, the minister feels that the imperial court should have a limit on the support of the royal families in various places, as far as the minister knows, some princes have more than 100 heirs, and dozens of heirs abound, and the number of descendants alone has exceeded the emperor."

As he spoke, a look of worry appeared on Li Yuntian's face, "The minister doesn't want to criticize the affairs of the imperial family, but the minister, as the right deputy capital imperial history, has something to say, the children of the royal family in various places live comfortably because of the imperial court, not only can they not contribute when the Ming Dynasty is in danger, but they also have a lot of nuisance to the local area." ”

Zhang's brows frowned slightly, she was not dissatisfied with Li Yuntian's advice, but knew that what Li Yuntian said had saved enough face for the local royal family, and it was more appropriate to describe the royal family in various places with drunken gold fans and trouble, and the children of the royal family lived a drunken and dreamy life in a comfortable and comfortable living environment, and their lives could be described as rotten.

In fact, the imperial court has already felt the pressure brought about by the rapid growth of the population of the children of the royal families in various places, and those royal families have nothing to do all day long, except to eat, drink and have fun, so there are groups of wives and concubines, and their ability to reproduce is amazing.

Because Ming Taizu forbade the children of the royal family to engage in politics, the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the children of the royal family were provided by the imperial court, which made the royal families around the country have no worries, and naturally multiply in full swing.

The imperial court is also very embarrassed by this, and it can't prohibit those royal children from giving birth, so they can only give those royal descendants a lot according to the court's customization.

Speaking of which, because some of the descendants of the royal family have too many descendants, their sons do not know each other, which can be regarded as a strange anecdote.

"The Empress Dowager, Emperor Taizu set the national policy of 'the center of the domain' at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the ministers thought that this was the foresight of Taizu, and only the children of the royal family were the most loyal when the Ming Dynasty was in danger."

Seeing that the Zhang clan fell into silence, Li Yuntian knew that she agreed with what she said, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued quietly, "However, in Yichen's opinion, the 'Fan Ping Center' is not to reuse the vassal king, but to cultivate the elite of the royal family's children, so that they can participate in the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The Empress Dowager, as far as the ministers know, the royal family of Xiyi usually has only a few heirs in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, although the number is small but the ability is excellent, usually in important positions in the court, and the nobles and ministers in the court are in charge of court affairs, making the imperial power extremely solid."

Subsequently, Li Yuntian explained to the Zhang family with the imperial family of the Xiyi countries as an example, "Although the children of the Xiyi royal family have a noble status, they do not have many privileges in their official careers, and they have been educated with the children of the nobility since childhood, and they can only obtain official positions in the court after passing the guò assessment. ”

"Oh?" The Zhang family looked at Li Yuntian with some surprise, in her opinion, those royal children are nobles, and it is a matter of course for the imperial court to give them a fortune, after all, it is also very important to spread out branches and leaves for the royal family, like the Xiyi royal family only has a few heirs and its heirs do not have a court heir, which is simply unimaginable.

"The Empress Dowager, according to the minister's opinion, since the imperial court has divided the vassal kings and given corresponding rewards, then the heirs of the feudal princes are naturally supported by themselves, how can the imperial court bear them, and then the local royal family has many heirs, the good and the bad are uneven, and there are all kinds of harm to the Ming Dynasty."

Li Yuntian bowed to the Zhang family and said solemnly, "The Empress Dowager, the art of war is cloudy, the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, the children of the local royal family in the Ming Dynasty have reached thousands in recent years, if it is at this rate, it will soon exceed 10,000 people, if the imperial court gives it all the money, it will not be able to afford such a huge amount of money, I am afraid it will also go against the original intention of Emperor Taizu." “

"Therefore, the minister believes that the children of the royal family should be allowed to enter politics and enter the royal secretary to run the royal industry."

Under Zhang's gaze, Li Yuntian bowed down and said to Zhang, "In the eyes of the ministers, although the children of the imperial family are nobles of Tianhuang, they are also the people of the Son of Heaven, so they should serve the imperial court. In addition, the ministers had the courage to reduce the local privileges of the children of the royal family, and reduced the rank of the lord, so that they could be prepared for danger in times of peace and effectively achieve the 'central part of the domain'.

"This matter involves a wide range of things, and it is too heavy, and the mourning family can't customize it for a while." Hearing this, the Zhang family bowed slightly, and after a deep groan, he said to Li Yuntian, looking a little hesitant, after all, this will involve the interests of the royal families from all over the Ming Dynasty.

"The Empress Dowager, there is a good saying, if something is not broken, it will not be established, and it seems that the ministers can leave it to the auxiliary ministers to discuss the matter of the local vassal kings supporting their children and heirs, and then the emperor can issue a decree to allow him to enter politics and enter the royal court."

Li Yuntian knew that this matter was not easy to do, but some things had to be changed, otherwise it would cause great trouble to Daming in the long run, and it was time for those arrogant and arrogant royal children to be trained, so he solemnly looked at the Zhang family and said, "The Empress Dowager, the emperor needs the children of the royal family who can share his worries, and the children of the royal family who do not need to indulge in pleasures, I hope the Empress Dowager will think twice." ”

"King Zhongwu, how do you think this should be carried out?" Zhang nodded again, I have to say that Li Yuntian's explanation of the "central part of the domain" is indeed very reasonable, it is an effective measure to consolidate the imperial power, and it can make those lazy and lascivious children of the royal family cheer up and serve the country.

What is particularly important is that Li Yuntian not only consolidated the imperial power, but also weakened the threat of the local imperial family to the imperial power by reducing the rank of the lord and reducing the privileges, making the local imperial family more dependent on the emperor, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, Li Yuntian asked the auxiliary ministers to come forward to take back the imperial court's favor to the local royal families, and the orthodox emperor gave a favor to those local imperial families, so that even if those local imperial families hated, they hated the auxiliary ministers, and they could only be grateful to the orthodox emperor.

This matter is very simple to say, but it is not easy to really implement it, it involves various factors, and the Empress Dowager naturally wants to ask Li Yuntian how to act.

"The Empress Dowager, the minister recently saw a number of local officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate reporting violations of law and discipline by the children of the royal family, and I think that I can let the inspector go to the imperial history to investigate, and then hand it over to the auxiliary ministers for discussion after having real evidence." Since Li Yuntian proposed a plan for the imperial family, he naturally had a solution, and replied to the Zhang family in an orderly manner.

"King Zhongwu, this matter will be handed over to you, if it can be done smoothly, it will benefit the Daming Jiangshan Sheji." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang's mouth when she heard this, she now deeply felt why Li Yuntian was deeply trusted by Emperor Xuande, compared to other courtiers who would only ask questions for Emperor Xuande to solve, Li Yuntian had already found a safe solution when he raised questions.

"The minister will obey the decree and will do his best." Hearing this, Li Yuntian hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhang.

"King Zhongwu, please stay." After leaving Cining Palace, when Li Yuntian lowered his head and was thinking about how to arrange and deal with the children of the local royal family, a somewhat shrill voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Kim." Li Yuntian knew who it was after hearing the voice, and after stopping, he turned around with a smile and said to Jin Ying, who was hurrying over.

"Lord, thank you for your help in today's matter, the miscellaneous family has kept it in mind, and if it is useful to the miscellaneous family in the future, the prince will do his best to speak." Jin Ying came to Li Yuntian's side and bowed, and thanked him in a low voice, Li Yuntian had previously supported the retention of the town guard lieutenant and town guard eunuchs in front of the Empress Dowager in front of the Empress Dowager, and this favor Jin Ying would definitely have to return it in the future.

"Mr. Jin is serious, everyone is working for the emperor, so why worry about it." Li Yuntian smiled disapprerovingly when he heard this, and he didn't mean to take credit at all, which made Jin Ying can't help but have a good impression of him, the so-called adversity sees the truth, and now the situation in the inner court is in a difficult situation, and Li Yuntian's assistance in this matter is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

"There will be a date later." Jin Ying didn't talk much to Li Yuntian, and then bowed his hand to Li Yuntian, and led the attendants behind him to leave in a hurry, so as not to invite criticism after too much contact with Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian naturally knew the truth, and walked quickly towards the palace gate quietly, because he was close to the south to pacify the Japanese Kou, so now he had a lot of things to do, and he was very busy. R1148
