"Let go of Lao Tzu! Do you know who Lao Tzu is?! Who gave you the power to arrest Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu is a disciple of the Guogong Mansion who did not have five suits in the Chengguo Mansion! ”

"Be honest! Lao Tzu or the Son of Heaven chooses the front! ”

On the sixth day of the second month of the first year of the Apocalypse, Zunhua Wei ......

In the insult of a military attache of the guard with a fat brain, Zunhua Wei ...... No! It should be said that in the entire Shuntian Mansion and Yongping Mansion, there were scenes of officers at all levels of the guard being escorted out of their bedrooms, and commanding the embassy and the thousand and hundred households to be rummaged through the yellow books and fish scale atlases.

Zhu Youzhen still overestimated the guards in these two places, they were almost defenseless, and they were broken into the guards and the city by the men and horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Holding high the Holy Decree, the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Soldiers and Horses, barely encountered any situation that could stop them, and easily obtained the Yellow Book and Fish Scale Atlas of the Command Offices at all levels and the Thousand Households and Hundred Households.

Standing in the courtyard of the Zunhuawei Commanding Envoy's Mansion, Man Gui carried his hands behind his back, listening to the crying and scolding in his ears, and he was not nervous at all.

Once upon a time, he was just a garrison of Loess Ridge that was squeezed out by the Liao soldiers.

But in just half a year, he has now become a general, and has the power to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

All these things are given by Him, and what He is to do is to repay His kindness......

"General, I've found it!"

At this time, a thousand households walked into the courtyard from the study with a thick dozen books.

The two soldiers brought chairs and tables, and Chiho placed the book on the table, and then a Confucian scholar in regular clothes sat down at the table and began to flip through the book.

Not only him, but also several scribes in the army also sat down and began to read it.

They kept track of the data they were looking through, and that was a long time.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour...... It was a full hour before they were done.

Confucius stood up and said to Man Gui:

"General, according to the records in the Yellow Book, Zunhua Wei Yongle has a total of 280,000 mu of military tuntian in three years, and 326,400 mu of military tuntian in the twelfth year of Wanli."

"In the third year of Yongle, there were 5,600 military households, 740 civilian households, and 31,700 mouths."

"In the twelfth year of Wanli, there were 5,600 military households, 4,632 civilian households, and 51,160 mouths."

"At present, there are 7,400 stone of Juntun seed grain in the granary, and 1,323,26 yuan and 3 cents in the silver warehouse."

After the Confucian scholar finished reporting, but suddenly someone shouted:

"That's not the granary and the silver storehouse, that's Lao Tzu's private money!"

Man Gui looked sideways, it turned out to be tied up, claiming to be the commander of the Zunhua Guard who had not come out of the Chengguo Mansion.

"Private money? As soon as you command the envoy, put the private money in the treasury of the Wei Commander's Embassy? This is obviously Zunhuawei's money and food, what does it have to do with you? ”

After that, Man Gui said to the soldiers:

"Take him down, send his family to the capital, and hand it over to the Chengguo Mansion."

"Yes!" After the two soldiers received the order, they immediately blocked this person's mouth, and then walked out of the Wei Commander's Mansion with his family.

As for Man Gui, he said to Qianhu:

"This has been the twelfth year of copying the old Wanli, and it is estimated that they themselves don't know how many troops Zunhuawei has at the moment."

"Let's get ready to measure the acres, we only have one month."

"Mark and command!" Thousands of households made a move, and then walked out of the command embassy with the teachings.

Such scenes continued to occur in Suncheon and Yongpyeong, and at the same time, the ministers in the center of power in the Ming Dynasty also learned what happened in Shuncheon and Yongpyeong a few days later.

However, for Wenchen, Juntuntian is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, that is, the matter of honors, what does it have to do with them?

On the contrary, with the abolition of the military tuntian, the household department was not only able to receive taxes from the imperial horse supervisor, but also to fill the treasury.

Once this treasury is full, then there is a reason and a condition to propose to the emperor to reduce the land tax and exempt the Liao salary.

There is no better news for them.

However, they are not without worries, just like right now, the only thing they are worried about is the replacement of Thistle Town.

But soon, this matter was attracted by Zhu Youxiao with another means.

"Long live, Sun Ruyou, a scholar of Chendong Pavilion University, resigns!"

On the ninth day of the second lunar month, above the Wenhua Palace, accompanied by Sun Ruyou's resignation, everyone was in a mood of sneer.

Sun Ruyou has resigned thirteen times in a row, and none of them have been agreed.

Everyone thought that maybe this time would be the same as the previous times.

However, Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair this time, spoke:

"I have already approved the resignations of Fang Gechen and Sun Gechen, and I have also approved Fang Gechen's performance of Young Master Ye."

"Liu Gechen ......"

Zhu Youxiao's words came out, and everyone was stunned for a moment, including Liu Yixiao, who was shouted by him, was also stunned for a moment, and then stood up and said:

"The Ministers Are in ......"

"Crowned the cabinet minister as the prince and the young master of the prince, and gave another hundred taels of platinum, four pieces of colored silk, and a big red python on the surface, and sent pedestrians to escort the two back to their hometowns."

Without a trace of discussion, Zhu Youxiao approved the resignations of Fang Congzhe and Sun Ruyou, and even sealed and rewarded them.

The last time he was treated like this was Ye Xianggao, who is now living at home.

However, Ye Xianggao's good days are gone, and Zhu Youxiao continued:

"Resurrect Ye Xianggao as a scholar of the Middle Pole Palace, lead the head of the cabinet, and order him to return to Beijing on the same day!"

"Minister, thank you......" Sun Ruyou didn't want his return to his hometown to be interrupted, so he hurriedly set an example to thank him.

After he thanked him, Zhejiang, Xuankun, Qichu and other officials of the five parties sang long live, it seems that Zhu Youxiao has made such an amazing decision.

At this time, Liu Yixiao and the others also felt that things didn't seem so bad to let Ye Xianggao enter the cabinet.

Liu Yixian and others claim to be the Qing school, and they still want the Ming Dynasty to go to the good side, so they are not discouraged by not being able to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, but are happy.

However, Gao Panlong and others were uncomfortable, and this year's Jingcha was in charge of Donglin, but they didn't want Zhu Youxiao to announce that Jingcha would be postponed to June after returning from visiting the Yanshan camp.

At present, from Zhao Ye to Gao into the cabinet, it is obvious that he wants to be with the mud.

Gao Panlong and others were eager to kill the five parties of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xuankun, and Kun, so when everyone was singing, Gao Panlong stood up and said:

"Long live, right now is the key to Jingcha, how can you dismiss the cabinet ministers at will?"

"Besides, Jingcha is already customized, why did it change? The order changes every day, how can the hundred officials deal with themselves? ”

Gao Panlong asked three questions in a row, which immediately made everyone frown.

Liu Yixiao and the others frowned because they felt that Gao Panlong should not be so aggressive, even if they waited for the court meeting to ask Zhu Youxiao later, it would be better than this.

He was so aggressive, didn't he just smoke the steps that Zhu Youxiao went down the stairs?

As for Sun Ruyou and the others, they were angry in their hearts, thinking that Gao Panlong, an old horseman, was going to leave when everyone was leaving, and they didn't let people go well, so they had to kill all the people.

There was no way, Sun Ruyou and the others looked at Zhu Youxiao......

"Let's go ...... the dynasty"

I didn't think about it, Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to answer Gao Panlong's question at all, and directly left a sentence of dispersion, and then got up to walk out of the Wenhua Palace.

However, Gao Panlong still shouted from his position:

"Long live, the order is changing, this is indulging the ministers! This is the way to get rid of evil! Long live think twice! ”

"Long live the second thought—"

Gao Panlong was not the only one who had a cannon, and for a while, more than a dozen imperial historians within the Donglin Party spoke one after another, and even talked about Zhu Youzhen:

"Hooray! The Fifth Highness led the decree to transfer troops in Shuntian Mansion and Yongping Mansion, abolished the guards, embezzled acres of fields, and included a large number of acres of fields in the Imperial Horse Prison. ”

"This is not the way to take chaos, but the way to destroy the country!"

"Hooray! His Royal Highness also cut out the soldiers and horses of Jizhen, if the north invades the south now, then it will repeat the mistakes of the Jiajing period! ”

"Please make an order to take back the military power of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and marry a wife and crown the king for His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness!"

"The prince leads the troops, this is the elephant of a chaotic country!"

"Hooray! There is a suspicion of exploiting the people in the south field of the Imperial Horse Prison, please long live ......"

"Enough!

！ Zhu Youxiao, who was surrounded, roared angrily, which instantly made everyone's hearts tremble.

Liu Yixiao, Yang Lian, Sun Ruyou and other officials knelt down one after another, and Zhu Youxiao waved his hands and sleeves, and reprimanded angrily:

"Is there a rebel army in the South? Or has the northern captives already hit the capital? Or did Jianyu capture Liaodong? Warat invaded the northwest? ”

"The Ming Dynasty is in the mouth of you, like a chaotic world!"

"The military tun of the guard is under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, what does it have to do with you?"

"When Huaibei was hungry, why didn't he have the same insight into everything as he does now? Besides, when did I say that the prince was not allowed to lead troops?! ”

"Ancestral system, ancestral system! Opening and closing your mouth all day long is the ancestral system, so the ancestral system says that the peeling and filling of grass should also be reused? ! ”

"Ministers and other capital crimes......" Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Sun Ruyou hurriedly opened his mouth to apologize, and the other five party ministers, as well as Liu Yixiao and others, also opened their mouths to apologize.

Only Gao Panlong and a group of Donglin party people with cannons still said stubbornly:

"The ministers are for the Ming Dynasty! It's for long live! Long live Mingjian......"

Looking at their appearance, Zhu Youxiao was furious and directly scolded:

"Since you want the fifth brother of the emperor to become a vassal, then canonize the fifth brother of the emperor as the king of Wu!"

"Hooray! No! Sun Ruyou didn't expect to hear his head when he listened to the play, so he hurriedly made a voice to dissuade him.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to cut off Han Lin'er's dragon and phoenix regime politically and eliminate the notoriety of "killing the king", there was no restriction on the canonization of King Wu.

Not only that, he himself took the lead in canonizing his fifth son Zhu Hu as the king of Wu, and then thought that it was easy to threaten Nanjing, so he changed the title to the king of Zhou.

But this did not break the king of Wu, and in the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen named Zhu Yunxi as the king of Wu.

Therefore, in the entire Ming Dynasty, the title of King Wu could be sealed, but the reason why the later emperors did not seal it was because of King Wu's domain.

Hangzhou ......

This big nest of the Zhejiang Party, even in the early Ming Dynasty, when the pan-Jiangnan civil and official forces were rampant, and Huaixi was domineering, Liu Bowen could be led here and pull out a political force in eastern Zhejiang.

As an important place for taxation, the lack of a king here also had the consideration of successive emperors.

But right now, Zhu Youxiao actually said in anger that he wanted to crown Zhu Youzhen as the king of Wu, which is a bit of a beating.

Is Zhu Youxiao really angry? Not really......

If you are angry, then you should be canonized as the king of Chang, and you should be in Changzhou, that is, Gao Panlong's hometown.

But now it is in Hangzhou, so this is beating Sun Ruyou and others.

The meaning is obvious, Zhu Youxiao helped to deal with the affairs of Jingcha, but now Gao Panlong is using this as an excuse to annoy him, and a group of Zhejiang parties are indifferent.

What is it? Could it be that the emperor wants to help them carry the black cauldron?

Thinking of this, Fang Congzhe comprehended more than Sun Ruyou, and directly dredged up:

"Long live, Gao Panlong's words are nonsense."

"The military households under the Imperial Horse Supervisor live a rich and orderly life, and the five highnesses know the soldiers, and this time the Shuntianfu and Yongping Mansion guards have been abolished, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has agreed, which naturally makes sense."

"In addition, the soldiers and horses of Jizhen have come to the aid of Liao many times, and several battalions are tired and empty, and now they are cutting and replacing troops, just to ensure the safety of Zhili, how can it be said that it is a cholera world?"

"Let's talk about the king, the five highnesses know the soldiers, and the king of my dynasty is generally early, so it is better to change the title to the king of Han, or the king of Song and the king of Qi."

"You can follow the allusions of Emperor Xuanzongzhang and King Xiangxian back then, let the five highnesses temporarily serve in Beijing as a vassal, and after the marriage of the long live and the establishment of the crown prince, then order the five highnesses to choose a concubine to marry a wife, and the king will be crowned a vassal."

Old fox!

Fang Congzhe's words suddenly made some Qi party officials uncomfortable.

The three kings he proposed, in addition to the King of Han, the King of Song and the King of Qi are all related to Shandong, which is a disguised push of Zhu Youzhen to their Shandong.

The Qi Party officials felt uncomfortable, but they were also embarrassed to speak, after all, Zhu Youxiao's meaning, they also reacted in hindsight.

Feng Wang is just an excuse, to put it bluntly, he just wants to see the officials of the five parties support him.

Therefore, Qi Shijiao, the leader of the Qi Party, said:

"Long live, what the cabinet minister said, the matter of the Fifth Highness being crowned king can be postponed, and there is no need to be so eager."

"The ministers seconded the motion—"

Qi Chu, Zhejiang, Xuankun and other officials of the five parties spoke one after another, as if at this moment, Zhu Youzhen, whom they had always disliked, had become some great sage.

This scene was seen by Gao Panlong, and he said eagerly in his eyes:

"The five highnesses know the soldiers, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under them, long live the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and the ...... of Liu Song?"

"Enough!" Zhu Youxiao was so annoyed that he said directly to Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry:

"Since Gao You's deputy capital Yushi likes to quote scriptures so much, let's go with the British Duke and others to compile the "Actual Record" of the emperor's grandfather and the emperor!"

"As for the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, I will choose someone else to serve as the second deputy of the Imperial Palace, please go to the Hanlin Academy to transcribe it!"

After that, Zhu Youxiao directly turned around the ministers and walked out of the gate of the Wenhua Palace, leaving only Gao Panlong, whose beard trembled with anger, kneeling in place......

After the ministers reacted, Zhu Youxiao had already walked out of the Wenhua Palace, got on the chariot with the support of Wei Zhongxian, and rushed back to the Heart Cultivation Hall of the Qianqing Palace.

It's just that after returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, as soon as Zhu Youxiao sat down, Wang An sent a thick stack of notes, and he was upset when he saw it.

When Wang An saw Zhu Youxiao's appearance, he replied:

"Hooray, most of the notes here have already been dealt with, and you only need to review them ......"

"Hmm......" Hearing that he only needed to take a look, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction, while Wei Zhongxian glanced at Wang An, with a smile on his face.

"By the way, is Lu Wenzhao back?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered Lu Wenzhao, who was escorting more than 8 million taels of silver and tens of millions of stone grains.

Regarding Zhu Youxiao's inquiry, Wei Zhongxian replied very eagerly:

"Long live Hui, Lu Tongzhi has returned, and among the eight million six hundred and forty-four thousand six hundred taels of silver, a total of two million and two million taels of additional Liao salaries from Nanzhili and Zhejiang and other places have been put into the treasury of the household department and the military department."

"The 224,000 taels converted from the field endowment and miscellaneous items have also been put into Taicang of the Ministry of Households, and the silver of the Banjiang of the Ministry of Industry has also been put into storage."

"After each of the six parts is put into storage, the remaining 3,921,300 taels have been put into the treasury."

"As for the actual harvested grain, it is 1,093,706 stones, and it has also entered the second warehouse of Jingtong."

"At present, the internal treasury plus the income of the north has a total of more than 4,926,900 taels, and counting the balance of last year, a total of 5,899,200 taels."

Wei Zhongxian's report was like a meritorious report, but Zhu Youxiao was a little dissatisfied:

"Last year, I put in more than 6.4 million yuan of silver, and this year it is only 4.92 million?"

"Uh...... This ......" Wei Zhongxian couldn't answer for a while, but Wang An said calmly:

"Long live, this is because of the abolition of the mining tax and the great famine in Huaibei, which led to the failure of Huai'an and Xuzhou to pay honeysuckle and other silver."

"However, at present, the Fifth Highness has checked Shuntian and Yongping Juntuntian, plus the southern field of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, I want to reach an annual income of two or three million taels in the Imperial Horse Supervisor this year."

Wang An talked about the part of the internal money that was added because of Zhu Youzhen, but Zhu Youxiao frowned and said:

"It's not easy for my younger brother to raise an army, how can I think about getting money from the Imperial Horse Supervisor anymore?"

"Don't mention this matter again, and send Lu Wenzhao another way, and ask him to come to me with the news of Beizhili."

"Slave and maid receive the order...... Wang An returned the salute, and then retreated.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything else, but flipped through the notes that had just been put on the eucalyptus one by one, and then wrote some suggestions.

Half an hour later, the sound of footsteps sounded in the Qianqing Palace, and Wang An's voice also came out: "Long live, the commander of the Nanzhen Fusi is the same knowledge, and Lu Wenzhao should come at the command." ”

"Well......" Zhu Youxiao heard the voice, so he put down the music in his hand, and Lu Wenzhao, who was in the dust, also saw Zhu Youxiao, who had not been seen for nearly four months.

"Minister Lu Wenzhao, long live you, long live the holy bow ......"

"Ann, get up!" Zhu Youxiao said as he motioned for Wei Zhongxian to take a seat.

Wei Zhongxian ordered the two eunuchs to bring up their chairs, while Lu Wenzhao also sat down after making a gesture and waited for the emperor's inquiry.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said:

"You've worked hard during this time, pack up and wait until tomorrow to go to Beizhen Fusi to serve as a commander......"

"Minister......" Lu Wenzhao was about to kneel down and thank you, but Zhu Youxiao frowned and said:

"Don't thank you, sit down honestly and listen to me finish speaking."

"Yes!" Hearing this, Lu Wenzhao sat back in his seat, and Zhu Youxiao also continued:

"There are some things that should be said or have to be said."

"This time, Nanzhili is involved in the nobles of Huaibei hunger, who is ......?"

Zhu Youxiao asked the question he was concerned about, and after Lu Wenzhao heard this, he took out a letter written early from his cuff without thinking, and then handed it out.

Wang An helped take it and handed it to Zhu Youxiao, and after Zhu Youxiao opened the letter, his brows immediately tightened, but he quickly relaxed.

After a while, he spoke: "I don't need to tell my brother about this matter, just stop it." ”

If the younger brother asked, he would reply, "Long live no." ”

"Minister...... Command. Lu Wenzhao felt that it was difficult, and he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while, but he still agreed first.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao continued: "Luo Sigong has stepped down at the beginning of the month, you don't need to have too much burden, you can take office tomorrow, as for whether Jinyiwei needs to be restructured and innovated, you can ask my brother's opinion." ”

"Yes......" Lu Wenzhao could only nod in response.

"Stand down." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and Lu Wenzhao also got up, and then withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

It's just that after he withdrew, Zhu Youxiao didn't continue to deal with the song, but asked Wei Zhongxian:

"What happened to the 26th Wei of Shangzhi and the abolition of health centers in Tongzhou, Tianjin and other places?"

"Long live it...... Wei Zhongxian smiled and explained with a smile:

"That Sun Yingyuan is worthy of being a person cultivated by His Royal Highness, and the guards who were dismissed in the twenty-six guards of Shangzhi have not yet reacted, so they have been taken over the barracks."

"After that, he selected nearly 28,000 of the eighteen guards, and trained 16,800 people into the three guards of the imperial city, such as Flying Bear, Dragon Tiger, and Yiluan."

"He left Yulin avant-garde training, and then set up two battalions of soldiers and horses outside the capital, Daxing and Wanping, to garrison the outer city of the capital."

"After it was established, he went to Tongzhou with the extra nine thousand new pawns and Yulin's left and right guards."

"He stationed troops in Tongzhou, and dismissed Tongzhou, as well as Shenwu, Daxing, Jeju, Jiyang and other guards, leaving Yulin Zuowei and 3,000 new soldiers."

"Three thousand new pawns were organized into the Tongzhou battalion by him, and then he took the remaining six thousand two hundred new pawns, as well as Yulin's right guard, to Tianjin Wei."

"When he arrived in Tianjinwei, he dismissed the three guards in Tianjin, recruited 2,800 new soldiers from them, and formed 9,000 new soldiers."

"And after that?" Zhu Youxiao's brows stretched slightly, he didn't expect that the dismantling of the guards in the two prefectures would be so smooth.

As for Wei Zhongxian, he also knew that Zhu Youxiao liked to hear this kind of thing the most, so he said it very carefully, and then explained:

"The nine thousand new soldiers were trained by Sun Yingyuan in three battalions, one of which was stationed at Dagukou in Tianjin Wei."

"The remaining two battalions are the Bazhou Battalion and the Zhuozhou Battalion, adding up to a total of six battalions......"

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he then looked at Zhu Youxiao's expression.

I have to say that Wei Zhongxian's ability to tell stories is good, and he clearly explained what Sun Yingyuan did.

After listening, Zhu Youxiao also nodded and said:

"So, there are two battalions and three guards in the capital at the moment?"

"Long live Hui, there are two battalions and three guards, a total of 22,800 people." Wei Zhongxian didn't forget to pat Zhu Youzhen's ass:

"More than 20,000 people are all taught by the Yulin avant-garde, although it has only been a few days since the performance, but there is already a trace of the Yulin avant-garde style."

"Hmm......" Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then asked:

"Didn't the dismissed guards make trouble?"

"Uh...... This ......" Wei Zhongxian hesitated for two seconds, and then saw Zhu Youxiao frowning, before he hurriedly said:

"Long live, in fact, there is not much to remove, because most of the eighteen guards in Shangzhi are empty, and the remaining half are the children of Xungui and Jingguan, and they don't want to be called, so they left early."

"In addition, according to the words of His Royal Highness Five, Sun Yingyuan guaranteed that after a month of military tuntian measurement, all the original military households would be canceled from military registration and acres of land would be issued, so no one made trouble......

As soon as Wei Zhongxian's words were finished, Zhu Youxiao was completely relieved.

As for the matter of eating empty salaries, he didn't pursue it, and if he really investigated it, Xungui had to be killed more than half, and he didn't have the strength right now......

Compared with these, Zhu Youxiao is most concerned about why these military households are so peaceful and no one makes trouble.

Perhaps as the Son of Heaven, he didn't care about everything about the military household, and he didn't know that the current military household was called a soldier for an officer, but he was actually a slave.

Not only was their own military cantonment land seized, but they also needed to become tenants of officers and cultivate for them.

In this way, they can only get 30% of the grain in their fields in a year.

Perhaps no matter how bad it is for them, it can't be worse than it is now.

In addition, Zhu Youzhen directly asked people to take grain from the treasury of various health centers and gave it to all military households, and each person received one pound of rice according to the head registration.

As for what they need to do, all they need to do is to honestly plant their current fields, and then divide the land, and it is likely that they will divide the fields they cultivate themselves.

Zhu Youzhen's promise to them was to count the heads within a month and start dividing the fields a month later.

Dividing the land according to the head is a temptation that no bottom can refuse in the past 5,000 years in China, which is equivalent to dividing the house according to the head in later generations.

One pound of rice per person, regardless of the system of men and women, coupled with the words of the soldiers of the Seven Guards and One Battalion who continue to publicize the division of land, everyone is waiting, waiting for the division of the field in a month, including Zhu Youzhen himself......
