Chapter 157: Asia's No. 1 Uranium Mine!
As Liao Yong was escorted to the execution ground and beheaded, a large number of people crowded outside the Qingtian Division were all excited, shouting long live while following to the entrance of the vegetable market.
Yang Rong, as the supervisor of this execution, naturally wanted to go with him.
At this time, in this court, there are only two people, Zhu Xiongying and Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi, who was standing, was very nervous.
He could have a hunch that His Majesty the Emperor had something to say, and His Majesty the Emperor at this moment, because of Liao Yong's matter, was obviously not in a very good mood.
"Yang Shiqi, I have a question for you."
Zhu Xiongying looked at Yang Shiqi indifferently, this aura of not being angry and arrogant made Yang Shiqi dare not relax in his heart.
"Minister, know everything."
Yang Shiqi hurriedly bowed.
"If I order to withdraw all the gold medals for avoiding death, what changes will it stir up in the court."
Even a powerful emperor like Zhu Xiongying also considered this matter.
Even Lao Zhu in the original history took advantage of Lan Yueu to take back all the gold medals for avoiding death, and this process of recovering the gold medals was still carried out in batches.
In order to get rid of these death-free gold medals, Zhu Xiongying can't be asked to launch a big eucalyptus.
The innocent implicated and killed was not done by Zhu Xiongying.
To do this, you have to figure out why.
When Yang Shiqi heard this, he was immediately silent.
This is not a trivial matter, and it concerns the interests of the founding heroes, and any radical will cause a chain reaction between the DPRK and China.
Zhu Xiongying was not in a hurry, just looked at him calmly.
After a while, Yang Shiqi finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, I think."
"The gold medal is the supreme emperor's reward for the founding heroes, highlighting the meritorious service to the country, if His Majesty takes it back for no reason, it will chill the hearts of these heroes, the second is to damage the prestige of the supreme emperor, and the third will also damage the credibility of the imperial court."
The three points mentioned by Yang Shiqi are very reasonable.
After all, if the gold medal issued for avoiding death is withdrawn without giving any reason, these founding heroes will inevitably breed resentment in their hearts, which is not conducive to the stability of the DPRK situation.
At the same time, Lao Zhu is still alive now, and he will definitely not be able to hang up his face, after all, he personally sent it back then.
As for the credibility of the imperial court, it will also be seriously damaged because of this matter, and if it is said to be withdrawn, it will be withdrawn, and who will be convinced in the future, Jun Wu's joke will naturally become an empty sentence that no one believes.
Zhu Xiongying didn't speak, but continued to look at Yang Shiqi, he knew that Yang Shiqi's words hadn't spoken yet.
As a courtier, since the problem has been raised, it is natural to put forward the solution together, otherwise go and drink the wind as soon as possible.
"Therefore, the minister dared to propose that His Majesty could issue a decree in the name of the cabinet, and the meritorious heroes could exchange the gold medal for their descendants for the title, and at the same time take the Marquis of Deqing as a model to announce to the world, warn the powerful, and make them obey the law."
The short words suddenly made Zhu Xiongying's eyes light up.
Good idea.
This husky, sure enough, has a few brushes.
is worthy of being the head of the three Yangs, and the brain melon seeds do turn fast.
Exchanging a gold medal for a knighthood will work.
What these powerful people care about most is often not their own wealth, but their future generations.
According to the law of the lord, their title can only be passed to the eldest son, and the other sons cannot have the title, which is extremely uncomfortable for some powerful people who have many sons, especially those who do not like the eldest son.
At this time, if you can exchange the death-free gold medal for a knighthood, many people should be tempted.
In addition, once the matter of Liao Yong, Marquis of Deqing, spreads, these powerful people will understand that the death-free gold medal cannot condone their misdeeds, and the death-free gold medal in their hands may not be able to avoid death.
In this case, it is better to exchange it for a knighthood.
In this way, it will not damage the prestige of the imperial court on the bright side, and it can perfectly take back this batch of death-free gold medals.
…………………
At noon, Fengtian Temple.
His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Xiongying sat on the dragon chair, his eyes swept over the ministers in the palace.
No more than the anxiety of the early dynasty, the group of courtiers who had eaten lunch were all in good spirits.
Long live the mountain, after the visit, the ministers are all standing honestly, waiting for the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor, after all, His Majesty the Emperor generally does not hold a court meeting, and the meeting is naturally something.
"At today's meeting, I have a few things to announce."
Zhu Xiongying's voice echoed in the hall, and the ministers all pricked up their ears to listen, and no one dared to look up at Shengwei, and they all listened respectfully.
The courtiers of the current Thai Emperor are very clear in their hearts that His Majesty the Holy and Wise Emperor does not need your advice, and the last court is to obey orders.
"First, from today onwards, the death-free gold medal will be abolished, and those who have the death-free gold medal can exchange their children for the title of earl."
As soon as the words came out, many heroes in the hall changed their faces.
You must know that many of the founding heroes of the country are offered at home like treasures, and some people even set up incense altars for the death-free gold medal and worship day and night.
But no one dared to squeak, the news that Liao Yong, the Marquis of Deqing, was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, has spread all over Yingtianfu, this is Tang He's foreign minister's grandson, even this kind of person can be beheaded, they are a ball.
In addition to being stunned, they are all in danger.
"Elder Liu Ge, you can handle this matter."
Zhu Xiongying looked at Liu Bowen in front of the ministers.
The cabinet has been set up, Liu Bowen is the head of the cabinet, and Zhu Xiongying calls him an old cabinet, which is to give face to Lao Liu.
"Yes."
Liu Ji bowed.
"Second, from now on, Tiangong Jian will no longer be subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet."
The Cabinet, which is directly accountable to the Emperor.
Having the cabinet in charge is equivalent to reporting directly to the emperor.
Yan Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, opened his mouth straight, but he didn't speak after all.
In fact, for him, this is also a good thing, otherwise the structure of Tiangong Supervision is under the Ministry of Industry, and he, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, cannot supervise Tiangong, which is really awkward.
It's not that he doesn't have the right to manage it, but he doesn't dare to manage it.
Who doesn't know that the powerful lady of the Heavenly Gongjian is the favorite concubine of His Majesty the Emperor.
In all dynasties, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but His Majesty the Emperor allowed his favorite concubine to control the Tiangong Prison, Yan Zhenzhi wanted to write several times, and finally thought about it or forget it.
"Third, the scientific examination system has been restructured, and since the first time, the examination has been changed from once every three years to once a year."
Zhu Xiongying has actually thought about this for a long time.
As the territory of the Ming Dynasty became wider and wider, the Ryukyu Political Envoy Division, the Mobei Political Envoy Division, and the Annan Political Envoy Division, all of which needed a large number of officials, and the original three-year round imperial examination system was simply not enough.
Moreover, with the continuous expansion of the territory and territory, it is estimated that one test a year will not be enough in the future, and the test will be added or shortened.
"Fourth ......"
"Fifth ......"
All the ministers in the palace were shocked and sighed, and every edict of His Majesty the Emperor was something they did not expect.
“…………”
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers all retreated, but only Liu Bowen remained.
"Old man Liu, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time, and I want to ask your opinion."
Zhu Xiongying glanced at Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen smiled.
"Your Majesty's divine martial arts, Your Majesty's decision must be wise!"
"Shut your mouth."
Zhu Xiongying scolded with a smile, and then continued.
"I want to strengthen the basic livelihood of the people, you start immediately, and set up a system of officials that can be implemented at the grassroots level."
In the current Ming Dynasty, the management at the grassroots level is still the same as in the past, which can easily cause chaos, especially if the people have something to do, and there is no guarantee of human rights.
Zhu Xiongying wants to change the status quo of 'the lives of the people at the bottom are like mustard'.
"The old minister obeys."
Liu Bowen paused and hurriedly received the order.
……………………
Half an hour later.
Xuantian Prison.
At this time, a large number of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry were repairing all parts of the Xuantian Prison, after all, the Xuantian Prison built by Zhu Xiongying with 'Senluo Wanxiang' was just a rough shell, and as a yamen for cultivating monks, it was natural that it could not be so rough all the time, otherwise it would not be able to pass on this face.
At present, there are a total of 3,523 prisoners in Xuantian Prison, all of whom have gone through Fang Xiaoru's patriotic education, and at this time, they are all enthusiastically practicing the Mixed Yuan Jue.
"Your Majesty, this is the spiritual root information of all prisoners."
The black-clothed monk Dao Yan followed Zhu Xiongying's side, and the attendant next to him held a thick stack of materials in his hand, which contained the spiritual root records of the three thousand five hundred and twenty-three prisoners.
Zhu Xiongying glanced at it slightly, there were very few first-grade spirit roots, less than twenty.
Most of them are around the age of ten.
It seems that as Zhu Xiongying's previous speculation, the quality of the spiritual root born at this age is the best.
"What I give you must be distributed according to the qualifications of the prisoners."
Dao Yan nodded.
"Yes."
Zhu Xiongying came to Xuantian Prison this time to place some of the pills he had accumulated over the years, as well as many cultivation exercises and magic weapons and other things drawn from the system.
Set up 'Tibetan Scripture Pavilion', 'Xuandan Pavilion', and 'Bingwu Pavilion' respectively, corresponding to exercises, pills, and magic weapons.
"You have to step up your cultivation yourself."
Zhu Xiongying glanced at Monk Daoyan, and had to say that this old man's talent was extremely good, and at this age, he could even give birth to a second-grade spiritual root.
If the spiritual root was born twenty or thirty years earlier, maybe it would be possible to get a first-grade spiritual root.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely cultivate day and night. Don't dare to slack off. ”
Dao Yan nodded seriously.
He is the Xuantian Priest Wine, responsible for teaching many prisoners, and of course he has to lead by example.
……………………
Another quarter of an hour later.
Starting point orphanage, inner hall.
Yao Lao and Xiao San, the two of them stood respectfully on one side, and a detailed map of the whole territory of the Ming Dynasty was placed on the table.
"Your Majesty, this mineral deposit was discovered three days ago, and it is also the one that has been discovered so far, and it is the largest mineral deposit in terms of scale and area."
"Its area is ten times the size of the one Tang Yi lost before."
Xiao San specially formed a team to walk the various realms of the Ming Dynasty, just to find out every mineral deposit that could be used for cultivation
Xiao San pointed to the map, and Zhu Xiongying glanced at it, this mine is in Jiangxi.
"Jiangxi."
"Could it be... 721? ”
Zhu Xiongying was slightly impressed.
Asia's largest uranium mine, 721 mine, this mine is located in Jiangxi.
It is precisely because this mine is the first in Asia that Zhu Xiongying will have a memory.
If it is really this mine, then Zhu Xiongying is absolutely confident that he can use this mine to raise his current realm to the Qi Tian realm.
After deciding on the location of the upcoming retreat.
Zhu Xiongying looked at the medicine elder beside him and thought of the big snake that he brought back from the Wa Kingdom.
"Yao Lao, do you want to continue your research on the Great Snake of the Japanese Kingdom?"
Previously, the old man forcibly used the serum of the Yaqi Snake to mutate other spirit beasts.
"It will take a while to return to Your Majesty."
As soon as the Yaqi Great Snake was mentioned, the old man of this medicine looked excited, obviously there was something new in the recent research.
"Hmm."
Zhu Xiongying paused for a moment.
"There's one thing I need to warn you about."
"No matter how much you research, you must not experiment with people."
Zhu Xiongying didn't want to see a person with eight heads appear in front of him one day, it was no longer a question of horror or not, but it was enough to make people's scalp tingle.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will never do such a catastrophe."
Yao Lao paused, and then hurriedly assured, secretly smacking his tongue in his heart.
He had really planned before, and when his skills were more mature, he would go to the Heavenly Prison to get a few death row prisoners to try.
"Hmm."
Zhu Xiongying bowed slightly, then turned around and stepped out, his figure dissipated in place like light smoke.
Tonight, it's a royal family feast.
Zhu Xiongying wants to prepare a little.
……………………
Meanwhile.
In the north, outside the land of Qingdi, in the Great Tent of Mongolia.
"Hai Guogong, I'm tired."
Lan Yu raised her glass and toasted Wang Baobao as a token of gratitude.
The Northern Yuan army descended to more than 200,000, these are all new forces, in terms of combat power, the cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty can be called the first-class cavalry in the world.
Without Wang Baobao's strong support, even with Lan Yu's current prestige, it would be difficult to make these fierce soldiers surrender to him in a short period of time.
In fact, from the bottom of her heart, Lan Yu is still very unhappy now.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Zhu sent troops to attack the Northern Yuan several times, hoping to wipe out the Northern Yuan in one fell swoop.
Wang Baobao was also one of the generals, but he suffered a big defeat at the hands of Wang Baobao, so Lan Yu has always remembered in his heart, dreaming of one day being able to defeat Wang Baobao on the battlefield with his own hands.
It's a pity that with Wang Baobao leading the Northern Yuan to surrender, there is no chance at all now.
"It's all the emperor's order."
Wang Baobao's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't raise his interest to deal with Lan Yu at all.
For Wang Baobao, he is the sinner who personally ended the Northern Yuan Dynasty, no matter what the reason, it is difficult to cross this hurdle in his heart.
'Timur, dead lame! ’
The reason why Wang Baobao spent a lot of effort to cooperate with Lan Yu to organize the army, and integrate the more than 200,000 iron horses he had on hand for Lan Yu without reservation, so that they could completely obey Lan Yu's command.
It is because of Wang Baobao's hatred for the Timurid Empire in his heart.
In Wang Baobao's opinion, if it weren't for this Timur, a dead lame, even if he was not the opponent of the Ming Court, it would be a big deal to escape with his gang of people, and he would no longer set foot in the Ming Realm half a step in this life.
Everything, it's Timur, it's all the ghost of that dead lame man.
Therefore, Wang Baobao was willing to integrate his subordinates and let them follow Lan Yu to attack Timur's lame.
"Hai Guogong, Your Majesty trusts you and will hand over Mobei to you, I hope Hai Guogong will not fail the emperor's grace."
Lan Yu smiled slightly and drank the wine in the cup.
Then, he got up and left the tent directly, the army had been integrated, according to the plan, he would lead the more than 300,000 iron cavalry around the Timurid vanguard army, and form a flank attack with the Sudi and Qingdi armies.
And what Lan Yu said was a reminder to Wang Baobao and a warning.
Wang Baobao looked at Lan Yu's departing back and was silent.
"The Great Prime Minister."
By Wang Baobao's side, Li Qiufu spoke up.
The words just came out.
Wang Baobao's eyes fell on Li Qiufu's body.
