Chapter 36, Military Power!

On Yuan Zonggao's side, there were also many people who visited.

The identities of these people are much different, they are all Wenchen, Gongsheng, and Juzi.

Don't look at Yuan Zonggao is only a third-class Tongjinshi, but now he has another identity: the emperor.

In this capacity, when the emperor rests in the palace for a few days and begins to look at the court, his first resignation should come down.

is already a positive third product, and this time it must only need to go through a springboard for court officials, and then Tern will be promoted to the cabinet.

No one can stop this, not even Yang Tinghe.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor may not immediately abandon the old ministers, but he will definitely use some of his own people. They can have no other merit and political achievements, only one thing: the merit of the dragon.

The officials of the six departments who were sad for Yuan Zonggao when he served as the Jiangxi envoy, worked together in Jiangxi and were transferred to the same colleagues of the Beijing officials, the same department of the same department, and the same townsman in his hometown......

Even with the palace examination that will be held soon, as well as next year's township examination and the next year's general examination, young gongsheng or juzi also hope to submit their poetry articles to Yuan Zonggao.

Even if Yuan Zonggao, who is sixty-eight years old, doesn't know how long he can last in the court, who knows if he has the task of recommending talents to the emperor?

As long as the name sounds heavenly, it's a new starting point.

This is a person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven.

Now that Zhu Houxi has officially ascended the throne, these subordinate officials of the royal palace who have never been looked at by many people in the past are all in the market.

Even Xie Changjie is no exception.

But like Lu Bing, he didn't dare to accept a person's gift, and behaved extremely squarely and temperamentally.

He didn't dare!

He didn't know what the Son of Heaven's attitude was towards him now!

In the Liang Mansion, Liang Chu was meeting Huang Zuo.

Liang Chu admires this talented little fellow villager very much.

"With your talent, you have been preparing in the capital for more than a year, so you don't have to worry about the palace exam." Liang Chu knew his intention, "Our new majesty can't say exactly how the palace test will be arranged now." What topics to come up with and who to appoint as the examiners are all trivial matters nowadays. Today's edict on the throne has also reached the ears of you tributes, right? ”

Huang Zuo nodded respectfully and solemnly: "The students have a lot of discussions, and they all say that Your Majesty and the pavilion elders are really going to make drastic moves. The number of decrees and the clarity of the purpose of the new dynasty are unprecedented, and they are not as clear as the enthronement edicts of previous dynasties, which are really intriguing. ”

Prince Liang sighed, recalling the previous extraordinary cabinet meeting on the enthronement edict.

The strength of the new monarch is completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Liang Chu didn't know what Yang Ting and their mood was now, but Liang Chu was both headache and relieved.

The headache is that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to authority, and the relief is that the Son of Heaven seems to be really wise.

They just said that there were a lot of maladministrations in the Zhengde Dynasty and a lot of national strength declined, but the emperor's words seemed to say that the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties had almost cut off the roots of the Ming Dynasty?

Those who did not explain how to do several directions, such as official governance, economy, criminal law, etc., were later replaced by ministers who were afraid that the Son of Heaven would be too drastic.

Otherwise, where would they have made concessions so easily?

How do you look at it, it looks like His Majesty's routine of making them regress, and using the words of clearing the land to clear the land completely scared several ministers not to take over.

If it is written, isn't it up to the ministers to do it?

That is going to offend too many people, and it is really affecting the whole body.

Fortunately, after His Majesty smiled meaningfully, he stopped insisting. Many of the new policies that Yang Ting and they drafted at the beginning have not been deleted.

"Pavilion Elder?" Huang Zuo saw that Liang Chu was deep in thought, and reminded him in a low voice.

Liang Chu came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Uncle Cai, you just remember a little. His Majesty has great ambitions, a resolute temperament, and a man of great practicality. In the eyes of Your Majesty, I am truly at the point of survival. ”

Huang Zuo knew that he was reminding himself of the possible direction of the palace test, as well as the tendency that the emperor might have when ordering Yijia.

But Huang Zuo could only look at Liang Chu in horror at this time: "Why is this so? ”

Liang Chu sighed faintly: "Yes, why is this so? ”

Liang Chu couldn't figure it out, was the situation so bad?

This sentence is now being heard by Yang Tinghe.

In the Yang Mansion, Yang Tinghe just wants to sleep now.

From last night to this moment, he was really tired.

I thought that I could catch up on the sleep after the enthronement ceremony, so he didn't see any outsiders after returning home.

But because of the enthronement edict, he was pestered by his son.

It's just that in the face of his son's worried inquiry, he still said today's experience, and also said the sentence "Beginning and dying at this moment".

Yang Shen replied angrily: "Why is this so? Now that the virtuous ministers are in the court, as long as they eliminate traitors and reform all the maladministration, it will be a Zhongxing situation again! Why is Your Majesty alarmist? ”

"ZTE?" Yang Tinghe said softly and haggardly, "The treasury is empty, the border defense is lax, the number of displaced people is increasing, and the people are poor and rich. This is His Majesty's opinion of Hongji Zhongxing. ”

"If the court is not harmonious, how can the world be governed? How did the people become rich? Yang Shen was inexplicably sad and indignant, "Now there are so many eunuchs who cheat on the government, but Your Majesty is so vague about many new policies, does Your Majesty want to be another righteous virtue?" ”

"Zhengde?" Yang Tinghe was in a trance for a while.

No, he's not Zhengde.

Yang Tinghe thought back to the first time he dealt with the Son of Heaven today, and he was always worried that he would suddenly become Taizu and Taizong, and he would kill the ministers with the sword of the Son of Heaven.

Listen to his kindness and power to the vassal king, and see the eyes of a few ministers when he talks about completely clearing the land, and the patience when he laughs at it in his heart......

Who taught him these things?

……

In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houxi, who came back here, was waiting for Wei Bin and them.

Early in the morning, people are still in Liangxiang, and in the morning they quarrel and persuade in the palace outside the city, and then enter the city and palace, hold meetings, quarrel, ascend the throne, and deal with Empress Dowager Zhang for the first time...... The day seems so long.

As a result, it was only six o'clock in the evening, that is, about half past eight in the evening, and it was still early to go to bed.

Zhu Houxi also has urgent matters to deal with.

"Your Majesty, let Zhu Shanggong prepare some snacks for Your Majesty?"

Zhu Houxi thought that he hadn't eaten well at Empress Dowager Zhang's place just now, so he nodded and continued to look at the original version of the enthronement edict in his hand.

It's still an old habit to record and analyze in your own way.

Now that he has ascended the throne, Zhu Houxi's old method will continue to be used.

Many things in the enthronement edict will have to be further quarreled in the future.

The rule of officials is not only about fighting corruption and advocating clean government, but also about how to discover talents, appoint people, supervise, and evaluate...... This is equivalent to the management of the entire official class, and it is not just Yang Ting and a few empty regulations that can be renewed.

The economy is a major systemic problem, with the system of taxation and forced labor, the land system, the annexation of powerful people including the royal family, and the transportation of salt and horses......

The criminal law is also complicated, at least the relationship between the forces of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division and Dongchang and the three legal divisions of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple is a major focus.

And the other one is what Zhu Houxi sneered at Yang Tinghe in his heart: he should stand up again.

On the issue of heirs, they kept saying that they would obey the ancestral teachings, but the "Punishment Regulations" promulgated in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi was the actual manifestation of their disobedience to the ancestral teachings: they abolished the death penalty for embezzlement set by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the maximum punishment for corruption became the military of the nearby guard station.

Why did the new regulations on the punishment added after 13 years of Hongzhi in the original enthronement edict have to be abolished? That, of course, is because it's not good for the ministers.

There are so many problems, Zhu Houxi can't figure it out for a while.

But he knew that he needed to be stronger before he could do these fundamental problems.

Until Wei Bin and the other three knelt down after entering the door: "The slave knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Houxi looked at them, and then looked at Zhang Yong: "Gu Dayong wanted to meet me in private before An Lu, and I summoned him after I was edicted, and he mentioned military power. Zhang Yong, did Gu Dayong tell you what I think of this matter? ”
