Chapter 417: Great Seal Hero

Because Zhu Gaoxu made two changes.

The concubine system of the Ming Dynasty was fixed by the previous emperors, usually learned from the previous generations.

Fortunately, this meeting is still the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Gaoxu seized the world by force, it is naturally easier for him to change the system, and the ministers do not dare to make irresponsible remarks.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the queen, there is also one imperial concubine and two concubines.

Zhu Gaoxu also included Xu Miaojin in the imperial concubine, and added a concubine, which can be regarded as the first step in the unprecedented restructuring.

Naturally, the ministers pretended to be deaf and dumb, and no one objected, so it passed smoothly.

Then Zhu Gaoxu announced an important reform, after the emperor's funeral, the concubine will not accompany the funeral, and those who have reached the age of 60 can choose to go out of the palace and return to their parents' home.

This doesn't need to be accompanied by a funeral, after all, there were also Ming Dynasty emperors who canceled it later, but those who have reached the age of sixty can leave the palace, which is really shocking.

Xie Jin, who had just been released from prison, had not yet confirmed his new official position, and this guy made a lot of nonsense at home, and then said that he was insulting to the royal family.

Many officials are also ready to move and want to follow the performance to dissuade them.

As a result, Zhu Gaoxu saw Xie Jin's excerpt, and was furious, bang, and learned Zhu Di to slap the table directly in Wuying Palace.

"What qualifications does Xie Jin have to play now? None of them were officially appointed court officials? Zhu Gaoxu asked the eunuch again, does Xie Jin have a daughter? Immediately summoned into the palace, sealed the concubine, and locked up in the harem in the future, and was not allowed to leave the palace for the rest of his life.

As a result, Xie Jin did not have a daughter, and Zhu Gaoxu did not embarrass Xie Jin anymore, but just said that this person has no family affection, reads sage books in vain, and will never be hired.

The other officials trembled, and no one dared to hand it over anymore.

Within a few days, Du Yushi Wu Zhong and Meng Shan impeached Xie Jin one after another.

This is the routine of the Ming Dynasty in the past, the emperor did not like someone, first expressed his dissatisfaction with him, and in a few days, the imperial history would be impeached, and then he would be imprisoned.

But Zhu Gaoxu said directly in front of hundreds of officials, Xie Jin is very talented, and his conduct is not bad, but this mouth is not cleaned up, this kind of person can ignore him, there is no need to arrest him and put him to death, you will be an official in the future, you must learn to be tolerant.

After listening to it, the officials felt that the emperor was good, with the demeanor of the former prince Zhu Biao and Emperor Jianwen, and it was really a bloodline family, unlike the traitor King Zhu Di.

When Zhu Di became the emperor, everyone was scared, and everyone was afraid when they saw him.

From last year's entry into Beijing to the present, it has been almost half a year, Zhu Gaoxu has been preparing to destroy the rebels some time ago, and now he will return to Beijing in February, and he will still stay in the Wuying Palace, and only after his family enters Beijing, and the concubine is confirmed and canonized, he will move into the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, he had three sons, namely Sun Ruonan's Zhu Zhanqi, Wei Moer's Zhu Zhanqi, Jingshu's Zhu Zhancheng, and Wei Moer's daughter Zhu Min'er.

Zhu Gaoxu did not appoint a prince, and the ministers did not dare to mention it for the time being.

The new emperor has just entered the palace, and everyone has to get acquainted with his temperament.

I didn't kill anyone in front, it seems to be more benevolent, but it is said that the emperor sent tens of thousands of people to the sea, and I don't know if he will be killed quietly at sea, plus Xie Jin was scolded bitterly, so the officials are now watching the wind.

After the establishment of the harem, Zhu Gaoxu first reformed the people and things of the harem.

When Jianwen, he didn't like eunuchs and brocade guards, so there were fewer eunuchs in the palace, and Zhu Di preferred to reuse eunuchs during Yongle, and there were more eunuchs in the palace.

When Zhu Di finally left, all palace maids and eunuchs who had been in the palace for more than two years were either sent overseas or sent home.

In the end, there were more than 200 palace maids and more than 300 eunuchs who remained in the imperial city.

It is said that at the peak of the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of palace maids and eunuchs, so the number of people in this meeting was quite small.

But there are a lot of yamen in the Ming court, there are a total of 24 yamen, which are divided into 12 eunuchs (eunuch yamen), 4 divisions, and 8 bureaus, collectively known as the 24 yamen of the inner palace, and the palace ladies are also divided into six bureaus, each of which has four divisions.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw so many institutions for the first time, he was also dizzy, no wonder the harem used so many people.

At this time, the harem plus the palace maids and eunuchs he brought back from Yunnan were less than a thousand, and Zhu Gaoxu ordered to make up enough for a thousand, thinking that it was an integer, and in the future, in the imperial city, for every one person missing, one person would be made up, and the future generations of emperors should not be added.

Of course, he said it here, whether future generations can abide by it or not, that's another matter, anyway, he's trying his best to get started.

Then he merged the twelve eunuchs, and merged the celebrant with the five eunuchs of the imperial office, the internal official, the secretary of the department, and the capital governor into the imperial eunuch, and abolished the original task of the celebrant to record the pre-imperial script.

This is also a very important step for Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the celebrant this head, and when Xuanzong began to have the authority to approve red.

The emperor who wanted to be lazy in later generations slowly put the power to the celebrant supervisor.

Merge the three eunuchs of the Imperial Horse, the Shrine, and the Naoden into the Shrine Supervisor.

The four eunuchs of Shangshan, Shangbao, Yinshou and Shangyi were combined into Shangbao.

The other four divisions and eight bureaus were all split into these three prisons.

The six bureaus of the palace maids were also split into these three prisons.

At this time, he only had a total of seven concubines, and he used thousands of servants to serve the marquis, which already felt very luxurious, so he streamlined his army, and the entire palace was divided into three prisons.

Then the royal eunuch was Zhong Xian.

The eunuchs of the shrine are also lost.

Shang Bao's eunuch was Zhao Zhong.

Zhu Gaoxu only knew at this time that the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty was an official name, and there were young eunuchs below, and all eunuchs in later generations were used to being called eunuchs.

On the sixth day of the second lunar month, Zhu Gaoxu issued an order to summon all the vassal kings from other places to Beijing.

On the tenth day of the first month of February, Zhu Gaoxu summoned meritorious heroes in the Fengtian Temple to discuss meritorious deeds, because the farthest Li Bin and Chen Xu also returned.

Zhu Di's seizure of the throne and Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's founding of the country have not been crowned kings, and Zhu Gaoxu sealed two in one go.

Feng Musheng is the king of Xiping, Yongzhen Yunnan, Feng Sishi is the king of Luchuan, Yongzhen Luchuan.

Thirteen Guogongs: Qu Neng, Duke of Shu, Sheng Yong, Duke Ping'an, Duke Wei Da, Duke Wu Chenwen, Duke Wang Bin of Qi, Duke Zhou Hu, Duke Song Meng of Korea, Sheng Jian of Zheng Guogong, Li Yuan of Song Guogong, Xu An of Liang Guogong, Li Bin, Duke of Yunguo Chen Xu (and Xu Zengshou's son Xu Jingchang attacked Xu Da Wei Duke and cancelled the title of Duke of Wei of Xu Huizu)

There are more than 20 marquises, Sun Yan, Na Rong, Xu Zhong, Wang Zhong, Yang Yun, Zhao Gui, Zhao Qing, Sun Lin, Wang You, Fang Yanping, He Ruhu, Mao Xiong, Mao Xin, Yang Lishan, He Erniu, Zheng Zheng, Gu Xingguo, Cao Long, Qu Tao, Mu Pingshan, Jin Rong, Dian Sheng, etc.

There are more earls, there are more than 40 people, including several Tusi, and most of the civil officials of the original Han Dynasty are earls and marquises.

Civil officials were knighted, and many fathers and sons were knighted together, which was never done during the Jingjing.

Then Zhu Gaoxu held a banquet to invite the heroes, and some of his confidants and civil officials also arrived at the scene.

In the singing and dancing of the Teaching Workshop Division, Zhu Gaoxu and the Wenwu pushed the cup to change the lamp, and they were not happy.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Gaoxu slowly got up with a wine glass.

The generals immediately got up one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu's face became serious and looked into the distance: "Now I want to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the counter-war with you. ”

"We can sit here today because the soldiers exchanged their blood and lives."

Zhu Wenwu's face also became serious.

"Although we have won the war with war, we must keep in mind that good war will perish, peace is a blessing, and I hope that there will never be another civil war in the Ming Dynasty."

The audience raised a glass with Zhu Gaoxu, and then gently sprinkled it on the ground.

"This glass of wine, I respect the brothers, whether I am the king of Gaoyang County, the king of Han, or the emperor, no matter how my identity changes, I hope to be brothers with you forever, may our friendship last forever and share the glory."

Everyone was moved, and many people shouted, willing to die for His Majesty.

"Today's big day, not about life and death, only about wealth." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and smiled, and drank it all.

Everyone laughed and had a drink together.

Then Zhu Gaoxu said, and the imperial court will then discuss the physical rewards of the generals.

The preliminary plan was that the prince and uncle were 5,000 mu, 4,000 mu, and 3,000 mu of hereditary fertile land, and 100,000, 80,000, and 60,000 taels of silver respectively.

Zhu Wenwu's face was ecstatic, Your Majesty is much more generous than Zhu Di.

In addition, according to the Ming Dynasty, the Guogong is 2,000 to 5,000 stones, the Hou is 1,000 to 1,005 stones, and the Bo is 500 to 1,000 stones.

Many princes have other positions, and they will also take money from other positions.

Zhu Gaoxu was unified as a national prince with 5,000 stones, Hou with 3,500 stones, and Bo with 2,500 stones.

For example, Qu Tao is the commander of Sichuan, according to Zhu Gaoxu's current double salary standard, the annual salary is about 1,500 stones, and Sir Jiahou has 5,000 stones out of 3,500 stones, which is quite rich.

Everyone listened with a smile, Your Majesty is generous.

Zhu Gaoxu said at this time: "There is no tax on the meritorious grain fields of the heroes who rebelled, if you buy land after you have money, you must pay taxes according to the new tax law next year. ”

Zhong Wenwu thought thoughtfully about the emperor's words, and many people were thinking about the emperor's meaning.

Obviously, the emperor didn't want them to hoard too much grain.

Everyone has heard of the new tax law, and more than 1,000 mu will have to pay 30% tax, but of course they don't want to build so many fields.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my family's land is enough, and I still feel that there are too many kinds of it." Ping An suddenly screamed.

Of course he was joking, but there was laughter all around him, and he was shouting too much.

At this time, Zhu Gaochu became serious again: "The new dynasty has just been established, you must remember not to rely on meritorious deeds, no one in your eyes, you should be low-key and modest, treat colleagues as friends, and be stationed on one side in the future, let alone oppress the people and be traitorsβ€”β€”"

Everyone's faces suddenly became nervous.

Zhu Gaoxu's voice is also getting louder and louder: "I have words first, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty, the prince will break the law and share the crime with the people, I hope that all Aiqing will remember and encourage each other." ”

All the civil and military officers knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Obey Your Majesty's will, Your Majesty is wise, long live, long live, long live." ”

After the reward, some of the generals left Beijing soon, all of which were more important places, such as Cochin and Champong, the Angkor Dynasty, etc., and some of the generals temporarily stayed in Beijing, and the emperor still had important responsibilities.

After the ministers dispersed, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Qianqing Palace, he drank a lot of wine today, and his walk was a little shaky, but his mind was still very sober.

I don't know why, after getting drunk, my heart is a little nervous, and now I see any little lady who will feel that she is a big beauty.

Zhong Xian cautiously followed him, and there were several palace maids on the left and right.

Most of these palace maids are the former palace maids of the Han Palace, and the maids and Nuo'er who used to help take care of Zhu Gaoxu's daily life are there.

Yaya and Nuo'er are both seventeen or eighteen years old, and in the past few years, they have followed King Han to have no shortage of nutrition, and they have not been married in the past two years.

Zhong Xian noticed Zhu Gaoxu's strange appearance, and when Zhu Gaochu returned to the Qianqing Palace, he immediately instructed the palace maid to prepare a bath for the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu likes to take a bath before going to bed, Zhong Xian is clear, sometimes when he fights outside, he has to find a chance to take a bath to sleep soundly.

The young emperor only has three sons, and his family has just entered Beijing, and when there was no family member some time ago, the emperor never asked someone to accompany him, which was obviously not suitable for the huge Ming Empire.

But the emperor was very self-disciplined, whether it was in the Gaoyang County King or the Han Palace, the emperor often lived in the military camp, and every time he let his wife and concubine accompany him, he would inevitably rest for a few days.

"Zhong Xian." Just as Zhong Xian was thinking about these things, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly called him.

"Your Majesty, the slave is here." Zhong Xian hurriedly said.

"How old am I?" Zhu Gaoxu asked strangely.

β€œγ€‚β€ Zhong Xian was stunned for a few breaths.

Then he immediately said: "Your Majesty was born in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, and he should be twenty-eight years old this year. ”

"I remember that Zhong Xian is one year younger than me, and you are twenty-seven years old."

"The slave is willing to follow His Majesty for the rest of her life."

"Time flies." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but think back to the time when he had just crossed over, and it had been almost ten years in a flash.

He is only twenty-eight years old, but he doesn't know if he has enough time to bring Daming to the road of strength and civilization.

We must be self-disciplined and not die young.

The color is a knife that scrapes the bones, Zhu Gaoxu, although he has won the world, but he can't wave, he reminds himself all the time.

Now he controls the life, death and wealth of the billions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and he can attract countless beauties with his hand, and it is easy for people to lose themselves in such a powerful power.

"Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty has a good saying: it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhong Xian: "You have followed me since you were a child, and I have also made you a close friend, and the ministers will not talk to me, so in the future, only you must remind me from time to time, self-discipline and self-reflection, and be a wise gentleman." ”

Zhong Xian's expression was moved: "Your Majesty must be a Ming monarch, this is the blessing of all the people." ”

"Ming Mingjun, the future generations will have their own conclusions about the coffin, and what we say doesn't count."

In the end, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said: "Summoning Concubine Miao to sleep." ”

"Your Majesty."
