This wave of court changes ended with Zhang Zhang's entry into the cabinet.

This scholar who came out of Wenzhou Mansion in Zhejiang Province finally realized his dream.

In the tenth year of Zhengde, he was forty-one years old, younger than Yang Tinghe when he entered the cabinet, and much younger.

In order to give him a platform, Zhu Houzhao specially conducted an early pilgrimage, and all officials above the fourth rank in Beijing participated.

The emperor has just severely punished a courtier who no one can imagine, and has just driven away an old man who has disobeyed the holy will.

The Ming Emperor was dressed in a crown robe, obviously young, but his eyes were vicissitudes, obviously immature, and his wrists were full of sophistication.

The Son of Heaven sits upright, the civil and military officials are low, and the vitality of the Ming Dynasty is like the sun rising in the east.

At the beginning of the court, the necessary etiquette is to be performed.

After that, he talked about some routine court affairs, and then read out the holy decree, and named Zhang Xuan as a scholar of Dongge University, entered the cabinet, and pre-aircraft service.

Then Zhu Houzhao asked people to read out the "Qingtian Order of the World":

Those who are in the fields are the foundation of the country and the lifeblood of the people. It has been more than 100 years since Hongwu, the fish scales have changed, and the yellow books do not match, resulting in chaos in the world's taxes, and the officials do not know the households, and the people do not know the endowment. I think that this is the great plan of the country and the foundation of the people's livelihood, and we must be cautious about it in order to secure the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. Moreover, I inherit the will of my ancestors, the heavy responsibility of the world, for the people of the country and the Ming Dynasty, and want to carry out the order of the world......

This order is the first time that Zhu Houzhao has given an order to the entire world of the Ming Dynasty.

For the time being, he did not mention the removal of the gentry, but only said that the fish scale atlas that recorded the population and land was seriously inconsistent with the facts, and it was time to sort it out.

After the beginning, in the name of the holy decree, he set the four points suggested by Zhang Zhang.

This is also what Zhang Xuan tried his best to state.

Everything is useless for him to say, but to write it down, on the Holy Decree!

One after another, majestic voices passed down, through the Fengtian Temple, over the Fengtian Gate, and then through the Wumen Gate and the Duanmen...... And the hundred officials did not dare to say more and obstruct the emperor from issuing orders.

After the reading ended, Zhu Houzhao stood up, his tiger eyes scanned everyone, and said majestically: "The Qingtian Order of the World is an order issued by me to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, including the ministers in Beijing, from today onwards, no one from the Cabinet to the Six Ministries shall disobey the Yang and Yin, and secretly obstruct the Qingtian Order of the World. ”

"Wait, obey!"

The emperor's eyes signaled, and he handed over this will to Zhang Xuan's hands.

Zhang Xuan held the holy decree, and suddenly felt that the power was in his hands, he turned around and raised his head, "The holy purpose is this, I, Zhang Zhang, swear here, if I can't clear the fields of the world and live up to the grace of the Holy Emperor, I will immediately sacrifice the head of the Emperor!" ”

This scene can be regarded as the highlight of his life.

Speaking of which, although the gentry are two things, they must be done at the same time.

Because Daming has all kinds of donated land, why do you donate? It is to hang in someone else's name to avoid paying taxes. If there were no gentry to remove the merits, then it would be a joke to clear the acres of land, because that would only encourage more people to be more motivated to contribute.

Because Qingzhang Tianmu is infringing on their interests at this time, after all, the land in his name is verified by the imperial court, then he has to pay taxes.

At this time, the 'power confirmation action' carried out by the imperial court legalized the annexation of the landlords.

Because it is impossible to change the measurement clearly, it must be implemented according to this in the future, otherwise the measurement hammer will be left here.

Only when the land is cleared should the gentry be removed from the gentry, so that the 'donee' can be forced to refuse to surrender, because the more land is found, the more servitude will be given. Fu is only one aspect, it's money and food, you can't scare them, the key is to serve, who will serve?

In fact, this is also an aspect of the heavy burden on the common people under the Ming Dynasty's tax system, because large families can often collude with the government and get this service on others.

But that was when the imperial court did not pursue it, and now that it is clear piece by piece, it will be difficult to do this matter.

So there is no room for Zhu Houzhao to turn around in this matter, that is, he is determined to move forward and move everyone who is in front of him!

……

……

After the early dynasty, Zhu Houzhao left Zhang Xuan in the palace.

"The matter of recruiting personnel, you let people do it as soon as possible, now you don't have to worry about this little change in the imperial court, it is important to make things the best. You told me that you wanted people, money, and time, and I gave them all. I even packed up the uncooperative people and sent them away, so I will see the results from now on.

The Ming Dynasty is now more and more prosperous, at this time can only continue to win, once defeated, you can't do this thing or second, break this rising trend, that is a sin. It's no joke, you know? ”

Zhang Xuan knelt down, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen doesn't think about anything now, what he thinks is that even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, he will give the world's fields and acres to be clear." ”

"Well," the emperor touched his chin, stretched out his index finger, and said firmly: "If someone asks you why Qingzhang Tianmu, you will directly say that in order to collect taxes in the future, the gentry will also pay taxes. The eldest husband acts above board, don't hide in Tibet, and don't make a decent. If there is one person who opposes it, you can deal with it yourself, if there are 100 people who oppose it, you are too lazy to pay attention, let them come to me, if there are 10,000 people who oppose it, it doesn't matter, raise the banner of rebellion, raise an uprising army, drive me down from the dragon chair, and I will give him this throne! ”

Zhang Xuan also felt a little, since this incident, the emperor has become more and more domineering and unable to hide.

Normally, 'giving up the throne' is a taboo word, but he says it with great ease and without scruples.

"The minister will definitely not let this situation happen."

"Haha, it's okay. The ass decides the head, there are so many hidden fields in the world, no matter who it is, no matter how much he opposes me, as long as he sits in this position, he will be the same as me after all, otherwise he will not be a good emperor. By that time, even though I am dead, I will be able to spend more paper money in my hands underground than he does! ”

Zhu Houzhao pinched his waist and sighed: "Now is not the time of Hongwu, the land is annexed, the country is ruined, I can only do this." Oh yes, I have to give you a team of brocade guards to protect you secretly, cut off people's money, such as killing your parents, you have to be careful. ”

"The minister is not afraid, Your Majesty values kindness and righteousness, even if the minister dies, Your Majesty will also take care of the minister's children and grandchildren."

"I can't say that, I want you to live, live well. Have you ever received a special gift before? ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "Not yet." ”

"Then I give it to you."

"The minister has not yet made meritorious service, and he does not dare to be rewarded."

"It deserves it, the imperial court is fighting in the northwest, and it is also fighting in the East China Sea, relying on the silver it has saved in the past few years, but the territory has expanded, and it has to be built if it is broken, and there will be a lot of war in the future, and at that time you still have to rely on strong national strength, so you can bear it."

"Yes! Wechen thanked Your Majesty! ”

Zhang Xuan is bold and has a wild personality, so he may not dare to change others.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about these small sections in major matters, but You Ji rushed over and said something that made him change his face.

It turned out that on the way back to his hometown, Mao Ji was courteous to officials along the way, and these prefects and counties not only did not treat him as a criminal, but received him as a righteous and suffering minister.

"It is said that literati are inferior to each other, but in the matter of provoking me, they are very closely united."

You Di said tentatively: "Do you want to punish these officials?" ”

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes to look at the person next to him, "Zhang Xuan, what do you think?" ”

"The minister thinks that these officials are greedy for fame, not only do not take the behavior of Mao Ji as a tyrant, but instead climb the lintel indiscriminately for a blow of self-interest, and there is no monarch father in their hearts, and there is no bottom line in their behavior, which is even more ...... didn't put the Son of Heaven in his eyes, if he didn't punish him severely, wouldn't everyone be in the company of tyrants like Mao Ji? ”

You Di didn't object, but he said something, "But the important ministers of the DPRK also approached Mao Ji." ”

Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes, "Is there one?" How come I don't know? Why don't you tell me? ”

When You Ji heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then quickly understood.

"Yes, the slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will go and clean up these officials!"

"Wait for Mao Ji to leave before arresting people, check on them for other things, don't arrest him for this crime."

Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes imperceptibly.

This is the Emperor Zhengde in his imagination, the style of the Son of Heaven!

Why arrest people after them?

It's to tell the world that the people you Mao Ji saw are not very good, and a fucking one is accurate!

The first few days were a little sluggish, so I added a little to make up for it.
