Chapter 186: Fork Out
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
On this day, Zhu Di came to Nanyuan, looked at Nanyuan after the renovation was completed, and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Engineering has done a good job this time, the merits of the merits of the merits, and the promotions of the merits!"
Jiang Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, wiped his sweat, after so long, he could be regarded as hearing a good word from the emperor's mouth, and said in a loud voice:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, this Nanyuan used to be the place where Emperor Taizongwen ordered the soldiers, and at the behest of His Majesty, he transformed it into a martial arts arena in the capital, which can be regarded as inheriting the old system and carrying forward martial arts."
"Do you know why Emperor Taizong set up the place to read the soldiers in Nanyuan before the Northern Expedition?" Zhu Di came to the grand martial arts arena and asked sideways.
Jiang Yuan said with a smile: "There is a record of this matter that Emperor Taizong did not like extravagance, and said that there were too many palaces in the imperial city, so he set up Nanyuan as a reading place to motivate the soldiers."
"Wrong." Zhu Di laughed and said, "I can tell you what Emperor Taizong thought at that time, but what he thought at that time was not so noble."
"At that time, Emperor Taizong thought that maybe it was just that Nanyuan was close to the Qianqing Palace, and he liked to ride a horse and shoot hunting, so he walked out of the Qianqing Palace and soon arrived here."
"Uh... Your Majesty's thoughts are a little peculiar..."Jiang Yuan didn't believe it at all, the wise and martial Emperor Taizongwen just thought so, but he didn't refute it, just laughed.
What do you do to refute the emperor, and what can you do if the refutation is successful?
The emperor is right, this is the truth!
After learning that Shi Pu, the previous secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was arrested and liquidated even after returning home, Jiang Yuan has now become very honest and down-to-earth.
No way, forced, he still wants to live two more years.
Peculiar?
Zhu Di laughed, and naturally understood in his heart that this kid didn't believe it at all.
After all, the emperor, no matter what his motives are, he must be lofty, and in the previous life, he also valued these false names the most.
After all, rebelling against the upper position is not a succession, but now, Zhu Di is not very interested in these false names.
Turning his head to look at the audience, thousands of forbidden soldiers and soldiers were standing neatly in the arena, flags fluttering around the martial arts arena, and the sound of joy was thunderous, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"How's Warat, is there a crime?"
Cao Jixiang, the supervisor on the side, said: "Back to Your Majesty, the border has been peaceful recently, Warat has made peace with Tatar, and the two cities in the east and west have also been opened to mutual markets......
Hearing this, Zhu Di said with pity: "Why didn't they call, I want to go to the north to try it again!"
As he spoke, he swept the sword in his hand that he hadn't drawn for a long time.
Who would have thought that when the surrounding ministers heard this, they were all taken aback and hurriedly dissuaded.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable!"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what the King of Yi personally conquered the Civil Fort, and brought to my Ming Dynasty!"
Even Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, since the use of troops for many years, although the frontier is peaceful, the southwest Tusi is still ready to move, and now we should stop the army and rest and recuperate."
"If you are reckless, sooner or later you will have to embark on the road of destroying the country!"
Yu Qian still speaks well, and his mouth is like scolding.
Zhu Di didn't mean to be angry, because he also knew that now was not the time for the Northern Expedition, but he must fight the Northern Expedition.
In this life, we must completely wipe out the Wara, so that the entire Mongolia will be subjugated to the feet of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no more such a thing as a civil fort after my death!
If you can't hit five times, then hit six times, hit ten times!
No matter how many times he fights, Zhu Di must destroy Mongolia!
Thinking of this, Zhu Di smiled slightly: "Don't worry about Yu Aiqing, I just sighed, I don't mean to be in person, all Aiqing can rest assured."
Hearing this, the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.
It was less than a year after the end of the battle of Tumubao, and the southwest used troops year after year, which was a bottomless pit of military spending.
At this time, if you fight a pro-campaign, Da Ming will really be over.
Zhu Di's attitude towards building the Nanyuan martial arts arena is also obvious, that is, heavy armament, after the civil fort, the civil and official forces have developed too quickly and need to be suppressed.
A large-scale martial arts arena was built in the imperial city, in order to tell the world that the current emperor values the swords and guns in his hand.
Everyone was inspecting, but it was the little eunuch Wang who ran straight and got permission to say:
"Your Majesty, news has come back from Henan, the six kings of Henan, the commander-in-chief of the Zhao Wangfu, support the implementation of the mu folding method, and have handed over all the land books of Wang Zhuang to the Zongren Mansion."
"Hmph, count him as acquaintances." Zhu Di was very satisfied with the approach of his grandson, King Zhao, and said, "Tian Shu will let the Zongren Mansion go to the same investigation, starting with the Wangzhuang of the Six Kings of Henan."
"After Wang Zhuang folds, I will fold the mu from the county kings and the general mansions of the towns and kingdoms under the palaces, and I don't care about the excess parts first, just fold the mu!"
Wang Zhi immediately heard it, the emperor's grandfather is a white wolf with empty gloves!
The clan's Wang Zhuang is not levied, the clansmen fold the mu first, and the landlords in those places have no backers, and it will be their turn to take the next step.
The landlord's acres of land do not have the duty-free preferential treatment of Wangzhuang, and how many acres of land there are will be more land taxes!
As soon as the words fell, an official said, "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Shang and accepted a bribe of 8,000 taels from Zhangde Luo! Please suspend the method of folding acres of acres!"
Zhu Di glanced at the civil official and said with a smile: "I already knew about this matter, the Beizhen Fusi reported to Beijing yesterday, and the merchant did not take bribes, and the eight thousand taels of silver were used for water control fortifications."
"In this matter, there is also the confirmation of Xu Youzhen, the imperial historian who went to Henan to control the water, and Lu Zhong, the Qianhu of the Fusi of Beizhen, don't make any more troubles for no reason."
The official was stunned for a moment, and said unrelentingly: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, that Xu Youzhen is an immoral person who once proposed to move south, can you believe his words?"
"Lu Zhong, it's just a brocade cloth and a thousand households, such a big thing, even if you don't know whether it's true or not, you should stop folding the mu and continue to act after it is investigated!"
As the words landed, Zhu Di's eyes gradually squinted, and he said coldly: "You mean, I can't listen to the minister's recital, but I want to be here because of your words?"
"Even if the matter is true, if you want to investigate, you should first check what Zhangde Luo clan is, to see if the bribery is real, the dignified cabinet auxiliary minister, do you say that if you catch it, you can catch it back?"
"That's how you talk to me as an official of the Imperial Court?"
The official hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The minister doesn't dare!"
Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "Don't you dare..."
"You always do things like this, wantonly slandering the ministers of the court, and if you don't dare to say a word afterwards, is it the past, is there such a simple thing in the world?"
"Someone!"
"Give this person to me under the martial arts arena, and in front of many soldiers, he will be punished with thirty boards, expelled from the six science corridors, and will never be hired!"
The emperor was so arbitrary, and everyone didn't know what to say.
Yu Qian opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak, because he felt that there was nothing wrong with His Majesty's words, and he really couldn't slander the ministers of the court so wantonly.
He still knows how to behave, it is impossible to take bribes, there must be hidden secrets.
