At the same time, at this moment, in the corner outside the palace, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi hid in the corner, looking at the scene in front of them, and all the ordinary officials present were surprised by Zhu Zhanji's words.

"This kid is so courageous."

This time, the old man Zhu Di really didn't want to compliment.

It's a heartfelt sigh.

As an emperor, this kid can say such things in front of everyone, and even mention the future fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Obviously, from the bottom of that kid's heart, he never thought that the Ming Dynasty would be immortal for tens of millions of years.

In this case, this kid still hasn't extinguished the fire in his heart.

You can see its spirit.

Whether it is Han or not, and whether it is the past or the future.

All for the sake of China

With these words alone, this kid's vision is not limited to a dynasty with one family and one surname.

Instead, he set his sights on the whole of China.

Although Zhu Di, who used to be the emperor, wanted to teach his eldest grandson and tell him how cruel the reality was.

Think about it, how could this kid not know all this, so he made a big fuss.

This open-mindedness and courage alone are not comparable to him Zhu Di.

After that, Zhu Zhanji completed the worship procedure according to the pre-prepared process.

He began to reward the officials present.

The first to be rewarded are those generals who have participated in the Battle of Mobei and have made special contributions.

In addition, there are ministers who have achieved success in the war against foreign countries.

For example, Yang Shiqi, who went to the southeast coast to fight against the Japanese invaders.

However, because many of them are already in high official positions, if they continue to receive rewards, there will be no rewards.

In addition, Zhu Zhanji also did not want to see a situation where an official had too much power, which was not conducive to the rule of the dynasty.

Therefore, the purpose of building this monument this time, in addition to replacing the gift of worshipping the heavens, is to create a reward for himself.

Now this giant monument is like a martial temple in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that the martial temple was canceled by his Taizu.

Now that such a situation has been created again, and in terms of specifications, it is based on the premise of contributing to Huaxia, which is much better than a simple martial temple.

It's a timeless thing.

For those courtiers who no longer valued much gold, silver and jewelry, this reward was sometimes more precious than the others.

is like Yu Qian, who is now arranged by Zhu Zhanji in the north of the desert.

In his previous life, he understood Qian's figure, and a name that was left on a huge monument and contributed to China was much more precious than any official position awarded to him.

After Zhao Quan, the eunuch beside Zhu Zhanji, read out the list prepared in advance, the faces of the officials who were mentioned were full of red light.

Joke.

As a courtier, in addition to rebellion, isn't what he wants in this life to be a hundred generations?

According to the tone set by Zhu Zhanji on this monument today, it will be passed down from generation to generation, and any dynasty will pass it on.

Those who can climb this monument will definitely be an example for future generations to learn from.

Although once the Ming Dynasty fell, later generations may not necessarily recognize the things of the previous dynasty.

But according to what Zhu Zhanji said today, as long as the king of the future generations is not a person with a small belly and chicken intestines, he will never deny it.

The most important thing is that Zhu Zhanji said that this is not a record of the heroes who contributed to the Ming Dynasty, but the people who contributed to China.

If the king of the later dynasty really dares to destroy this monument, it is an enemy of the world and the whole of China.

For example, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors who are written at the forefront.

Which Chinese emperor dared to deny these few.

Destroying their monuments is tantamount to destroying the entire Chinese civilization.

Therefore, the courtiers who know the weight of this monument in the future, how can they not be excited and happy in their hearts.

And with all this happening, Zhu Di, who saw all this in the corner, couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps, this is the tacit understanding between the emperor and the emperor.

With just one glance, Zhu Di pondered Zhu Zhanji's careful thinking thoroughly.

According to his scruples, Zhu Zhanji, this kid, definitely hasn't thought about what kind of situation he wants to show in the court in the future.

and let which side sit big and which side confronts each other.

So this time, through such a way, the mouths of those people were gagged.

In this way, this kid no longer has to worry about rewarding meritorious ministers after ascending the throne.

He can also ponder the situation in the court.

After all, what kind of situation this court presents directly affects the entire world.

A minister who can stand above the court must have a force behind it.

In other words, what kind of situation is presented in the court, what kind of situation will be presented in the entire Ming world.

This is also the reason why Zhu Zhanji did not dare to make such an easy decision.

And on the other side.

After the end of the ceremony of worshipping the heavens, including the reward of the hundred officials.

Zhu Zhanji did not indirectly prevaricate the reward by sacrificing to the heavens as the old man Zhu Di thought.

Opposite.

Zhu Zhanji not only did not do this, but after everyone came to the Fengtian Palace, he began to reward the officials of the court again.

However, this time the reward was not awarded to those officials at the level of the six Shangshu of the imperial court.

Instead, the officials under it were rewarded on a large scale.

But this time the reward is different from the previous dynasties and previous dynasties, this time, Zhu Zhanji is unprecedented in putting the reward and punishment together.

How many people Zhu Zhanji rewarded, then how many people he punished.

Zhu Zhanji's move surprised countless people.

It also made countless people not expect.

And this is exactly the result that Zhu Zhanji wants.

As an emperor, if any of his actions are guessed by those courtiers, then it is really a pity that this emperor should be.

But what I have to say is that this time Zhu Zhanji's maverick act of sacrificing to heaven can be regarded as a historical precedent.

At the same time, this act of worshipping the heavens has also won the praise of countless people.

At this point, Zhu Zhanji's throne can be regarded as sitting firmly.

The entire court, including all the etiquette in the palace, can be regarded as reasonable.

It's just that this time the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, compared with the previous dynasties, although there are many more tricks, the whole process is much simpler.

There are no more things to entertain officials.

After the due process of worshipping the heavens was over, the entire imperial court seemed to return to its previous state in an instant.

There is not the slightest difference.

The officials returned to their respective yamen on errands, and the eunuchs and palace maids were also waiting for the dispatch at their respective posts.

It seems that there is no difference from the usual.
