The methods revealed by Zhu Di in the removal of the 14th guard were clearly seen by everyone, and since then, there have been no large-scale protests.

Because, everyone is afraid of death.

And this new emperor is really capable of killing, even if your ancestors have made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, they will be killed.

Without Wenchen doing things openly and covertly, after eliminating the last part of the opposition, the action of dismantling the Fourteenth Guard would have gone much more smoothly.

When the soldiers heard that the court allowed the subordinate, they quickly put down their swords and guns and began to cheer.

For them, it doesn't matter what kind of bereavement they have, as long as they can take off the skin of this military family for generations, they are happier than anything else.

Those who are willing to fish can go to the coastal areas of Fujian to become fishermen and be registered as fishermen.

Those who are interested in drying salt goods in Shandong can also tell the imperial court that the imperial court will send official documents to the salt farms and salt fields in Lianghuai in Shandong, giving them the status of salt households.

The main thing about being a citizen is that they can do whatever they want, even if their children and grandchildren no longer want to fish and dry salt in the future, they can change it at any time.

This is freedom, freedom from generation to generation, and this is what a pension cannot achieve.

The reason why there was anger not long ago was mainly because the children of the powerful who did not want to lose the hereditary military households blinded the military households.

When these powerful children shut up, things went much smoother.

The next step is to recruit a new batch of pro-army guards and supplement the remaining 12 guards.

But the question comes again, the lower fourteen guards have been abolished, is it still necessary to keep the hereditary identity of the children of the hereditary magnates and military households of the upper twelve guards?

You must know that not only are there many people like Yu Quan in the lower fourteen guards, but there are even more in the upper twelve guards.

The reason why the upper twelve guards are the upper twelve guards is because they were all set up in the first batch, and they were set up by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and there were more powerful families involved than the lower fourteen guards.

Zhu Di has clearly understood the fundamental reason for the weakening of the combat effectiveness of the pro-military guards.

It's not just the early generation of officers who died in the Tumubao Change, but the main reason is that it is similar to that in the guards, and it is the hereditary system of the children of the powerful.

Many of these people have nothing outstanding at all, and only by virtue of their parents' official status and the hereditary system of the imperial court, they have a place in the pro-military guard.

Their identity makes them at a height that is difficult for many children of military families to work hard for in their last life.

Zhu Di suddenly remembered a joke that Tang He, the king of Dongou had mentioned to himself when he was drunk, when Tang He said in a drunken joking tone:

"Your father made all the descendants of the Zhu family king, and the children and grandchildren of the descendants will also be crowned kings, and now it's okay, but what about ten generations and a hundred years later?"

"There are so many kings, and they haven't broken the Ming Dynasty?"

When he heard these words in his last life, Zhu Di was still very young, and his first thought was just to be afraid, afraid that after Zhu Yuanzhang heard these words, he would settle accounts with Tang and the Autumn Queen.

You know, his dad never rubs any sand in his eyes.

Zhu Di didn't think about it, so he covered Tang He's mouth for the first time, watched him fall asleep, and didn't mention this matter to the second person.

But after a lifetime, and now reborn in the Ming Dynasty thirty years later, Zhu Di's perspective is completely different from that time, and his thinking has fundamentally changed.

Tang He's words are really scary to think about.

This statement is not only limited to the descendants and grandchildren of the Zhu family, but also the descendants and grandchildren of these founding heroes.

Yes, this proportion is not very much now, because after all, it is only two or three generations, but what if it is another thirty years, another sixty years!

After ten generations, can these powerful children who can conquer their ancestors still have the ability of their ancestors to do one-twelve?

As soon as Zhu Di thought about this situation, he felt that time was running out.

Sooner or later this is a big problem.

Once in the future, let the sons of powerful people like Quan occupy the main military position of the Ming Dynasty's Tianxia Guard, then the Ming Dynasty will not be far from decline.

The generals don't dare to fight to the death, and the civil servants only know about internal fighting, how can such a country last long?

"Your Majesty, the official is still asking to see you." Wang Zhi came to him and said carefully.

Zhu Di's thoughts were interrupted, and he muttered: "He Wenyuan? What did he come, let him in. ”

Not long after, Shangshu He Wenyuan came to Zhu Di with a stack of notebooks.

When Zhu Di saw it, his heart became gloomy, looking at his posture, there must be nothing good.

He Wenyuan, the secretary of the ministry, is the successor recommended by Wang Zhi.

At the beginning, the former cabinet chief assistant Wang Zhizhishi, this was also Zhu Di's grace to him, because Wang Zhi knew that the emperor had the ability to keep him, or let him lose his old age.

But Zhu Di didn't do this, although he had the shrewd and capable mentality of Wang Zhi in his previous life, the most important thing is that he was still unwilling to let this old minister who had worked hard for Daming all his life chill.

The cabinet under Wang Zhi's leadership, although it has made no achievements in many things, has suppressed the arrogance of the Wenchen group after Tumubao for Zhu Di, who has just been reborn and re-succeeded to the throne.

Don't look at Wang Zhi didn't do anything in the two years when he was the first assistant in Jingtai's early years, but in fact, he did no less than Yu Qian.

It's just that what Yu Qian does is a big thing, and Wang Zhi is a small thing.

As a well-deserved leader of the civil official group, Wang Zhi neither wantonly suppressed the Wuxun forces after Tumubao, nor did he argue with the new emperor on major court and political affairs.

What he did the most was to turn a blind eye to the requests of the ministers, and privately reprimand the excessive behavior of the ministers.

It is precisely because of Wang Zhi's inconspicuous cleverness that Zhu Di gave him this last grace, allowing him to end his career with the majesty of the first assistant of the cabinet.

And this He Wenyuan, whom Wang Zhi recommended, also had deep considerations, and he definitely didn't just take one out and let Zhu Di use it.

Wang Zhi has been recuperating for a long time, and there is no need to deliberately trick Zhu Di and recommend a subordinate who likes to work against him to come up and make himself unhappy.

This He Wenyuan is also like this, and he has always been cultivated by Wang Zhi as a successor in the ministry.

Since he took office as the secretary of the ministry, the ministry has basically not sung any contradiction with Zhu Di in major affairs of the court, but everything is not completely towards the emperor.

I'm afraid this is what Wang Zhi taught in private, this is the first time He Wenyuan has returned to the Qianqing Palace since he became the head of the government ministry.

Zhu Di knew that there must be something big.

However, Zhu Di also held a hole card against him, that is, He Wenyuan did not enter the cabinet.

He Wenyuan definitely wants to enter the cabinet and have a place in Hanlin, which is also what the ministers want.

As soon as he entered the door, he handed the notebook to the little eunuch on the side, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have checked the mistakes of Beijing in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, and the civil and military ministers of the yamen of the various ministries and institutes in Beijing in the first year of Jingtai, and listed the list of ninety-two people who have been dismissed. ”

"Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
