The next day, in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, above the Wuying Palace, it was in the early dynasty.

As in the past, the civil and military generals stood on both sides, Li Zicheng sat upright, and Xu Xiake reported the situation first.

"Emperor Qiqi, just this morning, Marshal Liu Zongmin and Marshal Gao Yigong respectively sent Zhu Changying, King of Gui, Zhu Cunji, King of Qin, Zhu Changhao, King of Rui, Zhu Yiming, King of Hui, Zhu Cijiong, King of Jing, and Zhu Zhishu, King of Shu, to Nanjing City, as well as Zhu Youying and Zhu Youlang, the two sons of Zhu Changying, King of Gui."

"Also, Your Majesty, just last night, the Great Western Dynasty collapsed overnight, Zhang Xianzhong died in the chaos, our army has controlled the entire Wuchang Mansion and the surrounding counties, and the place where Zhang Xianzhong attacked is restoring the local people's livelihood."

......

When the ministers were immersed in good news, Li Zicheng's focus was not on this, but on Zhu Youlang, the son of Zhu Changying, the king of Gui.

Li Zicheng vaguely remembered that Zhu Youlang was the last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the last emperor of the Han people, and now he was captured alive and locked in prison, which means that the demise of the Southern Ming will be faster.

Thinking a thousand times, Li Zicheng secretly exhaled a long breath, as long as Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian are resolved, and Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou are recovered, there will be no remnants of the Ming court in the south.

As soon as Xu Xiake finished speaking, Gu Junen stood up and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhu Yousong has been beheaded for two days, what should I do with these Ming court vassal kings next?" ”

I have to say that this is a very sensitive issue, everyone is very concerned, despite a lot of propaganda, everyone still wants to hear Li Zicheng's personal answer, only in this way can everyone really believe it.

For a while, as Gu Junen raised this seemingly normal question, the fact was very sharp, and all eyes were once again focused on Li Zicheng.

"What else do you say? Of course, it is to do things according to the rules, and those who are guilty and not guilty of great crimes only need to undergo a one-year labor camp and be familiar with the laws and regulations of the Great Shun Dynasty, and they will be released. As for a vassal king like King Lu Zhu Changshu who is not too much at fault, he will be released directly, if the conditions allow, he may as well arrange a suitable position for him and give full play to his expertise."

Li Zicheng said carelessly, he didn't care, and he didn't feel that there was the slightest sharpness, but the hundred officials were nervous, but they didn't expect the matter to be so simple to understand, Gu Junen even showed a deep groan, and responded: "Hmm... Your Majesty, King Lu is very good at music and is good at making violins, for example, let him serve in the Imperial Academy and teach music, which can be regarded as making the best use of his talents. ”

"Okay, then let's do it~!"

Li Zicheng agreed in one mouthful, without any hesitation, thought for a while, and said: "In this way, convey my will to Song Yingxing, let him coordinate it, and open a training class, all the royal nobles of the previous dynasty, as long as they are not sentenced to death, teach them some skills and be able to survive." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Judging from this series of words, it is not difficult to judge that Li Zicheng is definitely not just talking, he really wants to implement those policies and deal with those vassal kings and royal families.

In the past dynasties, this is definitely an unprecedented move, the royal family of the previous dynasty, for the new dynasty, women may be included in the palace, but men rarely survive, as long as they are caught, they will search for all kinds of reasons to punish crimes, and in the end they will inevitably die!

Obviously, the emperor is really ready to let those vassal kings go, otherwise, he would not have taken such trouble to arrange training classes and train those princes, so that they can support themselves.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the civil and military officials looked at Li Zicheng more and more hot, and their hearts became more and more convinced.

At this time, Li Zicheng spoke again, throwing out a shocking decision that he would never have thought of if he wanted to break his head.

"Mr. Xu, after the early dynasty, immediately draft a holy decree, those vassal kings' palaces must be preserved, and the office location of the base area will be used as the standard, slightly renovated, and in the future, it will be used as the highest institution of learning and library in each state and province, and all expenses will be allocated from the finances of the imperial court!"

"In addition, those institutions should also use the local colleges as the standard to run schools, add various disciplines, and at the same time, there are also books in the library to make their collection as rich as possible for students to read."

People who don't know the inside story, who have no more bases, will never realize what Li Zicheng's words mean?

All kinds of indications show that, at least in the area of education, the emperor completely took the teaching mode of the base area as the standard, copied it, and thus implemented it in the territory of the Dashun Dynasty, no longer like the traditional private school, just teaching Confucian culture such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, but teaching is very complicated.

It can be said that astronomy and geography, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, there is no difference between disciplines, all within the scope of teaching.

In a word, what is taught and learned is mainly pragmatic!

Moreover, the most important thing is that the college adopts mobile teaching, which completely breaks the emphasis on what protégés and so on, and lays the groundwork for the future reform of government and the selection of officials.

Compared with these people who know the inside story, other officials admire Li Zicheng, but it is because of his character, looking at the world, in addition to the palace, the palaces of those vassal kings are the most luxurious and luxurious, and they are the only choice for meritorious deeds!

After all, at the time of the founding of each dynasty, when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, those luxurious mansions will be the most rewarding for those who have great merits, and the emperor will be a kind of favor to the generals who follow him to fight the country and be born and die.

However, what about now?

The lavish feudal palaces, with the exception of a few offices that were the highest level of a province and various departments, were all converted into academies and libraries.

Of course, this does not mean that those who fight with Li Zicheng are not rewarded, and there are more luxurious mansions in Beijing, which are enough to accommodate all the meritorious officials.

What makes the officials most happy is that compared with the previous dynasty, their income has also increased several times, which is enough to support their families and live a good life.

The most important thing is that their black hats no longer depend entirely on their superiors, but in the hands of the people and colleagues they work with, and the votes of the people, superiors, and subordinates are used as quantification, so as to determine their promotion and stay.

In a word, compared with the past, as long as they are officials for one term, as long as they govern well and gain the approval of the people, they can be promoted, and they no longer have to fight their bosses.

Because, the vote in the hands of the people is enough to determine their career! On the contrary, the votes in the hands of the boss are no longer so decisive.

"Okay, let's disperse~!"
