Chapter 585: Prison State
These days, Zhang Anshi went to the audience very diligently.
It's quite a bit of a taste of being courteous with nothing to do.
Zhu Di has been in poor health recently, he is indeed a little old, and he even lacks some qi when he speaks.
However, people who are dying of old age always want to be accompanied by others.
Therefore, every time I see Zhang Anshilai, I can't help but be overjoyed.
It's getting cold.
The building was hot and warm like spring.
Zhu Di was only wrapped in a thin shirt and did not sit upright, but just sat on a small chair, which was covered with a tiger skin.
This skin was shot by Zhu Di himself when he was in Liaodong, it was thirty years ago, when Zhu Di was fierce and fierce, but now, he is no longer young.
Zhang Anshi sat on the brocade pier.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said slowly: "These days, my health is a little bad, but some time ago, I watched a lot of songs, and my ministers ...... Ay...... It's hard to put into words. β
Zhang Anshi said: "When the minister was drafting the ticket in the Wenyuan Pavilion, he also saw a lot of mistakes, but there was no big rebellion, why did Your Majesty sigh?" β
Zhu Di smiled and said: "I teach you to read more articles on weekdays, although I know that most of those articles are useless." But ......"
Zhu Di paused, and then said: "Teaching you to read articles is not to teach you to find any truth and solutions to problems from articles. It is to teach you how to read and understand the person who writes the article, the article is just a combination of words, but the person who writes the article, but will inadvertently hide his careful thoughts behind the article, which since ancient times, the literati is best at the Spring and Autumn Period, he is sometimes praising you, but in fact he is ridiculing you. β
Zhang Anshi's heart was shocked, and he said, "There is still such a thing? β
Zhu Di said to himself: "Hey...... Zhang Qing, over the years, I can be regarded as conscientious, for the people of the world, it is also beneficial, of course, occasionally the temper is a little bad, but it is also about the same, as long as the officials and ministers do not have bad intentions, they are always quite tolerant, compared to Emperor Taizu Gao, it is already considered to be kind. β
After a pause, Zhu Di said again: "It's just that I found that it seems that no matter what, these people have to work against me, they used to come openly, but now, they come secretly, this person's heart is really terrible." β
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di seriously, and felt more and more at this time that Zhu Di was already old, and Zhu Di's old state in the past was only in physical structure, but now, it is psychological.
Your Majesty is now more and more prone to emotion, and more and more like to chatter.
In the past, he was born and died, he was in charge of the world, he was brave and brave, and he was domineering, but now, he is not much different from the old man of ordinary people.
Zhang Anshi's heart felt a little blocked, and he couldn't help but sigh for it, and he couldn't help but sigh for the terrible passage of time.
After thinking about it, Zhang Anshi replied: "Your Majesty, the minister is a realistic person. β
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said inexplicably: "Realistic people? β
Zhang Anshi said: "Over the years, the minister has studied with His Majesty, but he has learned a truth, that is, judging things must be based on reality. β
Zhu Di opened his eyes slightly and said, "Oh? When did I have such a reason? β
Zhang Anshi smiled and continued: "The minister believes that only when the upper and lower levels benefit the same can they be united. The reason why Your Majesty is so emotional, is nothing more than a hundred officials, and Your Majesty can not share the same benefits, what Your Majesty wants is the stability of the country and the 10,000-year foundation of the Ming Dynasty. But for the hundred officials, His Majesty is no different from their ancestors serving the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, they are just receiving a salary, but they are appointed by the court to govern the people. β
"It is precisely because of such fundamental differences that it is inevitable that there will be the same things and different views between them."
Zhu Di tilted his head and thought for a while before he said, "There is some truth in this. β
Zhang Anshi continued: "In order to solve this problem, Confucianism has been vigorously promoted, in a vain attempt to use monarchs and ministers to bridge the fundamental differences between monarchs and ministers, but this seems to be inappropriate. β
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "From the end of the previous dynasties, what Zhang Qing said is not unreasonable, so the way to long-term peace and stability lies in the same desire of the monarch and the minister?" β
Zhang Anshi said: "There is a saying that a twisted melon is not sweet, why does Your Majesty continue to think about it?" In fact, there are many things that make sense in the sage of Confucius, and the stability of the country lies in whether it can make the people of the world get favors, which is the foundation of Confucianism's so-called benevolent government. β
However, today, many Confucian scholars may have some deviations from others in their understanding of the word benevolent government. In order for the imperial court to function, it is necessary to pay a large amount of taxes, and the fundamental problem is not to exempt from taxes, but to do our best to levy more taxes for those who have money and food, and to collect as little taxes as possible for those who are poor. As for the treatment of criminals, they should be severely cracked down, but they should do their best to screen whether there is a case of unjust imprisonment, instead of blindly imposing so-called leniency and amnesty at every turn. β
Zhu Di nodded and said, "Of course I know these truths. In the past 20 years, I have abandoned Confucianism, and it is here. When I was young, Emperor Taizu Gao chose a good teacher for me and taught me. But the most glorious thing about me is that I have been fighting horses for decades, and in terms of knowledge, I may be far inferior to a hundred officials. Now, the world has finally looked the same, but I am still a little uneasy. β
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di with blazing eyes and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty is uneasy?" β
Zhu Di glanced at him fixedly, and then said, "This ...... I can't say it's good. β
Zhang Anshi said: "But the minister heard that any uneasiness can be solved by relying on silver, maybe His Majesty's internal funds are still too little." β
As soon as these words came out, the originally serious monarchs and ministers played right, but they seemed to be a little crooked all of a sudden, and Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly changed from sluggishness to spirit.
Zhu Di's eyes were obviously a little brighter, and he said, "Yes, who would think that there is less silver?" With silver, the children and grandchildren of the future generations will be blessed. β
Zhang Anshi smiled, but he changed his words and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been supervising Henan and Guanzhong for a while ago, and he will return to Beijing in the next few days. β
Zhu Di said: "Over the years, he has been in Henan and Guanzhong, and the emperor and grandson are in Jiangxi, I plan to sharpen them, but now, my energy is getting worse and worse, and I really don't have the energy to solve the trivial matters in the world, so I issued an edict and ordered the prince to return to Beijing." β
The implication of these words, Zhang Anshi understood, and then, Zhu Di had obviously begun to work on the affairs of the prince's imprisonment.
Although since the seventh or eighth year of Yongle, Zhu Di has begun to try to let the crown prince Zhu Gaochi supervise the country, but in fact, Zhu Di has always grasped the power in his hands very tightly, but now, Zhu Di's age is so old, it is obvious that it is imminent for the prince to truly participate in the decision-making of major events in the world.
Zhang Anshi seemed to have woken up, but his face was as usual.
Although he knew it in his heart, he couldn't say it directly.
Zhu Di is
His brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a little worry: "Over the years, the prince has gradually learned how to govern one side, and he has his own understanding of the new policy and the real situation in the world. β
Zhang Anshi was confused for a while, so he said: "Your Majesty's so-called temperament is ......"
Zhu Di sighed and said, "Of course, the prince's temperament is too gentle, and he is still a little indecisive. The Son of Heaven who has always been holy and wise can be decisive in killing, how can those who are benevolent to women be able to punish evil and promote good, so that the world will be settled? β
Regarding Zhu Di's concern, in fact, Zhang Anshi knew that Zhu Di's heart existed a long time ago, so he said: "In this case, why don't Your Majesty wait and see what means His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will use to come back this time?" β
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, didn't say anything more, and only nodded his head.
Two days later, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi really returned to Beijing.
When he came back this time, his body was actually very good, and the whole person looked stronger and stronger, no longer as obese as before, and he seemed to be a lot more energetic.
Zhu Gaochi returned to Beijing, first entered the palace to meet Zhu Di, and then went to the harem to pay homage to his mother, until it was dark, and then returned to Zhan Shifu with a little tiredness.
Zhu Gaochi and the crown princess Zhang had a deep relationship, but after returning to Zhan Shifu, although he remembered his wife in his heart, he did not immediately enter the backyard, because he knew that Zhang Anshi must have been waiting for him in the palace of Zhan Shifu at this time.
Sure enough, as he expected, Zhang Anshi had been waiting here since noon, and at this time he was already a little tired, and when he saw Zhu Gaochi, he strengthened his spirits and said with a little smile: "Brother-in-law." β
Seeing his brother-in-law who he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhu Gaochi was also happy, bowed his head to him, his face was easy-going, and he also smiled: "I knew you would be here, come, sit down, the palace is a little hungry, teach someone to boil some porridge and drink, and you can also eat some together." β
Zhang Anshi nodded, and then said bluntly: "This time my brother-in-law enters the palace, what does Your Majesty have to say?" β
Zhu Gaochi trusted Zhang Anshi, and said directly: "My father has repeatedly said that he is old and ......."
Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "Brother-in-law...... Next, maybe my brother-in-law is really ready to govern the world. β
These words are naturally rebellious, but in front of Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Anshi has nothing to shy away from.
Zhu Gaochi nodded, and said: "Father Emperor Long's body is not safe, and he has issued an edict to order the palace to supervise the country, but this prison country, how easy is it to talk about it......"
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "What does my brother-in-law mean...... Brother-in-law doesn't have this confidence? β
Zhu Gaochi shook his head, but said: "If you do it too well, you will inevitably be suspicious, but if it is not good, you will inevitably be disappointed in the world." β
"Brother-in-law, I think otherwise, this is definitely not Your Majesty's temptation of your brother-in-law...... Zhang Anshi paused, and said: "It is more likely that Your Majesty really hopes that your brother-in-law can withstand the test this time, so that Your Majesty can be happy to have a successor in the country." β
Zhu Gaochi's heart is very complicated, it is impossible for him not to worry, his father's temperament is too changeable, he may hold your hand today, and say from the bottom of his heart that you are my son, everything I have is yours, work hard and work hard.
turned his head, but he suddenly began to suspect something, so he ordered that the courtiers of the Zhan Mansion who were close to you around you were slaughtered.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this is true for the minister, and even more so for the prince.
Zhu Gaochi sighed faintly in his heart again, and said, "So, what do you think?" β
Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "My opinions are all here. β
As he spoke, Zhang Anshi took out a charter, handed it to Zhu Gaochi, and said: "The so-called three days of Shibei, when you look at each other, next, it's time to teach Your Majesty and the people of the world to see the methods of your brother-in-law." β
Zhu Gaochi flipped through the charter casually, the candlelight of Ran Ran was shining in his eyes, he groaned, and after a long time, he said, "According to what you said." β
Zhang Anshi replied with a light smile!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The really lively thing in the capital is actually the recent move of Qixia Commercial Bank.
Suddenly, they began to build mansions in the west of the city.
This was the emperor's forest garden, but after a long time, it gradually became abandoned, and there was still a guard stationed in the past, but now, this guard has been transferred.
Today is different from the past, in the past, a large number of soldiers and horses were needed to defend the capital, therefore, the five military camps under the Governor's Office of the Five Armies set up a large number of troops near Nanjing.
According to the design of Emperor Taizu Gao, a large number of military tuns were set up near the entire capital to supply the soldiers and horses of the local garrison for cultivation, so that a large number of military horses could be used to defend the capital, and the soldiers could be saved, which can be described as a multi-task.
But now, after the emergence of the model battalion, the Ming Dynasty has begun to gradually tend to the conscription system, for the original military households, although not immediately disbanded, but also began to allow them to fend for themselves, after such an edict was issued, the rest of the world military households, but still hesitant, after all, ancestors and grandchildren have been in the army for several generations, and now suddenly to fend for themselves, it is inevitable that people are afraid.
It's just that the military households in the capital are very different, the capital was the first to open a new policy, commerce and trade are the most prosperous, whether it is a business everywhere, or countless workshops need a lot of manpower, compared to the military households who cultivate the land in the military camp and have been living in poverty, as long as they have a strength, no matter where they are, they can find a bite to eat, and life is much better than before.
Because of this, after the edict, there was no movement among the other guards in the world, but the guards in the capital were almost scattered in a hurry.
Of course, it is impossible to just let them fend for themselves, especially for military attachΓ©s, after all, they have finally made meritorious contributions and obtained a military position, or they have inherited an official position by relying on their ancestors, and ordinary military households are naturally eager to be dismissed, but for them, this is nothing less than a catastrophe.
In order to alleviate this complaint, the martial arts academy had to make some tilts to the original hereditary martial arts, for example, Zhu Di deliberately created a martial arts primary school, allowing the children of the hereditary martial arts to enter school for free of money and food since childhood, and what they learned was probably some knowledge in the martial arts academy, so that they could really be admitted to the martial arts academy to provide better conditions.
Under normal circumstances, as long as you practice and study seriously in the Wubei Primary School, there is no big problem in being admitted to the Wubei Academy, and as for those who can't support the wall in the mud, he can only blame himself.
In addition, if there were military ministers who were willing to go overseas, the imperial court still gave them their original official positions and let them serve in the palaces of various feudal princes.
Since ancient times, the so-called New Deal, in essence, is a game of pie sharing, once the original pattern is broken, it will inevitably encounter huge resistance, after all, so many gentry and military ministers, snatching people's money and property like killing their parents, the anger of the husband is only five steps of blood splashing, but it seems that once these people in power are angry, the consequences are extremely unpredictable.
In addition to the fact that Zhu Di is the son of heaven and has enough prestige, the most important reason is that with the development of overseas, the Ming Dynasty urgently needs a large number of civil and military generals, so this pie has become bigger.
So in essence, this cake, from you eat a bite and he doesn't have to eat it, but it becomes that he eats a little more and you eat a little less, although it will also breed dissatisfaction, but it will not make people turn red and turn the table.
When the military households were dismissed, a large number of military camps around Gyeonggi naturally fell back into the hands of the emperor.
Although these lands can grow crops, with the development of agriculture, the increase of grain production, and the new policy, people's need for arable land is no longer urgent, so these lands actually have little value.
Qixia Commercial Company purchased a large amount of land directly from the palace, and then began to build a mansion, but for a while, it was also lively.
At this time, in the Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang Anshi was sitting with the princes, Shi Shiran took a sip of tea, and then said seemingly casually: "The land of Yulinwei in the west of the city, Your Majesty sold it to Qixia Commercial House at a cheap price, this area of Yulinwei is not far from the palace, and the capital is only a stone's throw away......
As soon as he said this, all the scholars subconsciously pricked up their ears.
Zhang Anshi kept saying that it was a short distance away, but in fact, it was still too far away from the capital.
It's not that the distance is far in a straight line, but in the planning of Nanjing City, for the needs of defense, Yulinwei's area is far away from the city gate, so if you want to enter the city, you have to take a long detour.
Yang Rong and others also listened carefully to Zhang Anshi's words.
But at this time, a eunuch suddenly came in a hurry, and said anxiously: "Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an edict, and he ordered the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion to follow him and go to Yulinwei." β
As soon as these words came out, Yang Rong and the others looked at each other, and some even raised their eyebrows with complicated expressions.
They are apparently aware and seem to ...... Something is going to happen right now.
β¦β¦β¦
