Chapter 23 The National Meeting was convened

Dingguo will be opened in the three major halls.

Hundreds of people were bustling in the Taihe Palace, and it seemed that it was still a little crowded.

After all, these hundreds of people are all figures with heads and faces, and where his identity is placed, there are at least one or two attendants around him. There are also guards to maintain order, and service personnel.

Especially the emperor here. There are a lot of conference people around, and there are quite a lot of them.

In the entire Taihe Palace, there are nearly 1,000 people.

At this time, the talent of the King of Shu was also revealed. He Xi used the king of Shu as his deputy to organize the meeting. He Xi naturally handed over a lot of general affairs to the king of Shu. And the King of Shu naturally did these things in an orderly manner.

Don't worry about it.

And Zhu Xiongying sat on the throne and was condescending. There is an open space at the bottom of the throne, and it is a place for people to speak. It's just that He Xi feels that this furnishing is still a little uncomfortable.

Without him, the layout of these places in the Taihe Hall would have been set a long time ago. The emperor is surrounded by a dragon chair, a crane, and a royal platform.

These buildings were all formally established to establish the supremacy of imperial power. This is also the political meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial power, which is reflected in the architecture. But what He Xi wanted to establish was not such a political order.

"Nanjing is not Beijing after all." He Xi secretly felt inconvenient in his heart.

This is also He Xi's biggest feeling in Nanjing.

Nanjing's degree of industrialization is too low. It is revealed in many things. From this venue, He Xi and others have been in charge of Nanjing for several months now. The preparations for the establishment of the country were decided last year.

If it is in Beijing, it is not difficult to build a venue in a few months. But such a thing, in Nanjing, is not too easy. You must know that traditional wooden buildings, said fast, also very fast, just like building blocks. It can be built in ten days and half a month. But only if the timber is ready.

And Nanjing originally had a large amount of timber reserves. This is not Zhu Yunwen's reserve, but it is left over from the Hongwu period. Zhu Yuanzhang left a very solid foundation for the world.

But in the battle between the North and the South, it was completely depleted. Whether it is to build a ship, build a gun carriage, or even build a firearm, wood is needed.

Transportation from the north, especially from Liaodong, is not impossible. But it's too slow.

And what Nanjing lacks is not just wood. Nanjing's economy has been completely messed up by Zhu Yunwen's exhaustive fishing methods. There was confusion on all fronts.

It took a few months to get it straightened out.

It is simply impossible to support such a large construction.

In this case, it is not appropriate to build a large number of buildings.

It would be nice if it was in Beijing. He Xi remembered that Beijing had already built a venue, that is, where the treasury bond market could be used directly. It's not a makeshift construction like it is today.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit.

It's almost time to get arranged. The King of Shu came to He Xi's side and whispered, "Shoufu, the time has come."

He Xi coughed lightly and said, "Got it."

Immediately, a sound of clouds ran out, overpowering the noise in the Taihe Palace. He Xi came out of the queue and saluted Zhu Xiongying first. After receiving Zhu Xiongying's response, he got up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today I invite the pillars of the country all over the place, and the local virtuous people are here to discuss national affairs."

"Five years ago, Emperor Taizu died, the world was sad, the young people stole the world, and even the disputes between the north and the south, the soldiers and the people filled the ravines, which was unbearable.

This is the theme of the Dingguo meeting, and it is also the most important thing, to close the coffin and make a decision, mark Zhu Yunwen on the pillar of shame, and determine Zhu Xiongying's political status. Although said. It's a cutscene.

After all, the world has already been defeated. How can there be repetition. At today's meeting, no matter how many opposing views there are, it is useless, and it is a big deal to replace a group of deputies.

However, cutscenes are also important.

He Xi is just going through the motions seriously.

Everyone is also very interested in this matter.

Everyone knows that the topic cannot be said to be unimportant. Very important.

The whole process of this meeting is divided into two parts, one part is the topic proposed by the imperial court, and everyone discusses it one by one. If you interfere with someone, if you don't want to, you can oppose it, and so on.

The other part, the second half, is where they can raise their own issues. Let everyone consult, especially the imperial court. Naturally, the imperial court can also deny it. But the negative must also be spoken.

The topics raised by the imperial court are different according to their importance. Some of them can be called back. For example, some issues raised by the imperial court. It is estimated that the people who really offended him were a few Shangshu.

Without a few Shangshu unions, this issue will not be on the Dingguo is meeting.

It's just that since He Xi changed the law, the official position of Shangshu has been devalued.

In the Ming Dynasty, there are only six Shangshu, even if it was later divided into north and south, and then some Shangshu titles, there are only a dozen Shangshu at the same time, and it is impossible to have more.

It's different here in He Xi. He Xi split the six departments into more than a dozen departments. And the head of the civil service is designated as the first assistant, and the cabinet is a scholar. So Shang Shuguan waited.

If you add some pluses. Today, there are more than 20 scholars in the Ming Dynasty. There is a good chance that there will be more in the future.

At this time, Shangshu was already close to a certain minister in later generations.

However, the union of several Shangshu is also a very powerful political force, but unfortunately, the people who can attend this meeting are not ordinary people.

are all local powerful factions, after all, the original civil official system of the Ming Dynasty was first cleaned up by Ding Xian, and then cleaned up by He Xi, that is, the so-called scholar bureaucracy, and now only scholars are left. The bureaucracy is almost gone.

Within a few months, He Xi almost moved the Beijing court to Nanjing, leaving only one maintenance organization in Beijing.

Naturally, the participants in this meeting are all local powerhouses.

Many of them are like Lu Zhongheng.

During the Hongwu period, Lu Zhongheng was certainly the head snake of the South Seas, but it was impossible to completely ignore the imperial court, but after the war in the past few years, especially in the south, Zhu Yunwen almost emptied the troops in the south in order to support the war.

This has created a power vacuum in many places.

And power also hates a vacuum. Now that the imperial court has withdrawn. Naturally, there are other forces involved. So everyone here, even the most ordinary person, at least in a certain county, is quite influential. Be able to represent the thoughts of many people in a county. A few people can even influence the opinions of one or two governments.

In fact, these people are not too afraid of the so-called Shangshu.

Not to mention, there is a giant like King Yan.

But there are some issues that cannot be refuted. That is, as today, He Xi mentioned the first topic.

Soon a lot of opinions came together.

Everyone agreed. Zhu Yunwen plotted power to seize the throne, causing chaos in the world and committing a heinous crime. In addition to the clan registration, the surname Zhu was taken away, and he was ordered to be wanted, and he didn't care about life or death.

Zhu Yunwen's absconding can't be hidden.

In the end, this can only be openly acknowledged.

However, on the issue of facing Zhu Yunwen, everyone's opinions are also different.

There are many people who behave very indifferently, and these people all came to Nanjing with the imperial court. They don't have to say anything about Zhu Yunwen at all. After all, Zhu Yunwen was overthrown by them.

Even some of these people feel that today's thing is to take off their pants and fart, which is too much.

And many of them were very excited, a person who was bent on killing Zhu Yunwen because he and Zhu Yunwen didn't share the sky. It seems that he has some deep hatred with Zhu Yunwen.

But in fact, on the contrary, some of them were hurriedly surrendered after the imperial court entered Nanjing. It can be said that he is a loyal minister of Zhu Yunwen. It is precisely because of this that these people have to prove themselves hoarsely.

proved that they were just deceived by Zhu Yunwen.

They thought that they were supporting the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not them who were wrong, but Zhu Yunwen who was wrong. Therefore, Zhu Yunwen is extremely evil. Don't let it go at all.

And still others, but peaceful. There are also mixed tastes in the calm.

Daming Doctor Group is deeply rooted. Especially in the south, they have almost inherited from the Southern Song Dynasty to the present day. The local influence is also very deep.

If he hadn't seen this, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have taken the desperate plan of flipping the table.

In this war, they suffered the most losses.

They are the biggest force supporting Zhu Yunwen's ascension to the throne, but they don't want to be betrayed by Zhu Yunwen first. Killed very viciously. And He Xi's methods for them are not easy.

He Xi is ready to promote a new education system nationwide, one that is directly led by the state. This is the bill at the back.

This is not a good thing for the scholars.

There are two disadvantages: first, the family education that the scholar is most proud of is no longer useful in the new era. In terms of educational resources, their children will be on the same starting line as ordinary people.

Of course, the families of scholars and doctors may have some better learning methods and learning atmosphere, and their children can still be high-level intellectuals from generation to generation. But compared to the huge number of ordinary people, it is nothing.

The second is the emergence of Xinxue as an official form of meaning.

Let a lot of their family's accumulation go to waste, and it will be useless at all.

He Xi's methods are not as vicious as Ding Xian, but they are enough to make them feel painful. Five years is actually not a long time. Some people actually know the inside story of Zhu Yunwen's ascension to the throne.

It was Zhu Yunwen who seized the throne, in fact, it was some people led by Fang Xiaoru who were tough in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang seems to have backed down.

It's just that a few years have passed. Looking back, many people actually have a retrospective.

There was also some speculation in my mind. But he didn't dare to say it.
