Chapter 231: Between Grandparents and Grandchildren
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhu Yunwen and said.
"Have you had a good idea of the reforms I intend to implement?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said ashamedly.
"My grandson only knows a whip law and an integrated payment of grain for the official gentry."
Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, he had long known that it would be like this, after all, Zhu Yunwen's true attitude towards reform, Zhu Yuanzhang was not unable to see it.
Zhu Yuanzhang counted what he had done and the reform strategies he planned to do, and communicated with Zhu Yunwen.
"In addition to the two things you mentioned, I have also re-established the commercial tax, making it difficult for these merchants to make huge profits; The sea was also opened, and this is the same way, this year's three customs offices have received more than one million taels of silver; Next, I plan to reform the military system and the succession of vassal kings, so I can't wait for time! ”
When Zhu Yunwen heard what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do, he was also smacked in his heart, he had too many things to do, and if Zhu Yunwen did so many things, he felt that it would be very good if he could do one or two.
Zhu Yuanzhang hopes to be able to do it in one day, will such a big goal make Daming the second in Qin Sui?
And Zhu Yunwen was also very happy, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang also planned to reform the feudal town, which showed that he also felt that the feudal king system could not last too long.
But seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang put it at the end and said it, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care too much about this, so when Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, would the situation still be so calm? .
Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to say it directly, but said euphemistically.
"Grandfather Huang, it is naturally a good thing that you are implementing reforms now, but so many people have taken your policies to offend the world's scholars for these people, is it too cost-effective?"
"Then how do you say that the heart of the people is compared to the heart of the gentry?"
Zhu Yunwen was almost about to blurt out, this matter is easy, naturally the heart of the people is more important.
But thinking that the current land settlement matter involved his uncle, Zhu Yunwen hesitated, and things didn't seem to be so easy to choose.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yunwen's hesitation and said with a smile.
"You are not firm enough, in this world, it is naturally the heart of the people that is more important! You must know that my Ming Dynasty is not a doctor who rules the world together! ”
"It's just that most of the scholars have the right to speak, which makes you feel that the hearts of the scholars are very important, but once the people can't help it, what can these scholars do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were very heartfelt, but Zhu Yunwen finally understood what he meant, and the scholar was not to be ashamed.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and saw that he was in a good mood now, so he asked boldly.
"But why did the emperor's grandfather put the matter of reforming the vassal king last? Now that the country has not been established for a long time, these vassal kings have done so many evils.
The king of Qin encroached on the land and was greedy and excessive; The king of Jin took over the tricks and murdered his brothers, and there were all kinds of tragic things under him, all of which were done by these imperial uncles of mine, shouldn't they be put in front of them and rectified first? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen's somewhat angry face, but he saw more fear from it, this kid was afraid of his imperial uncles, and felt that they would come forward to take his position.
Zhu Yuanzhang could only say solemnly.
"Yun Wei, you don't understand, there is a reason for me to divide your uncles to guard the frontier, if my sons don't go to the border, how can I encourage the soldiers to defend the border? As for other considerations, you're still too young for the time being, and you won't understand ......."
Zhu Yunwen responded a little sheepishly.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his performance, he also sighed in his heart, and suddenly lost the mind to continue communicating with Zhu Yunwen.
waved his hand, led Zhu Yunwen back to the main hall, and let Zhu Yunwen go back to the East Palace by himself, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued to deal with political affairs.
After Zhu Yunwen walked away, Zhu Yuanzhang once again took out the fold in his hand to sue the Kong family, his eyes were full of anger, and he called an internal servant.
"Decree, please invite the head of the Kong family to come to Beijing to meet you."
Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang began to plan in his heart, how to rectify the Confucian family, he intended to move the ten philosophers of the Confucian Temple, just to suppress these civil officials and see their reactions, but he was stopped.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has decided to move the Kong family again, he wants to see if there is still a flag for the Kong family's criminals in this court!
……
The news inside the palace has always spread quickly, and the courtiers outside soon learned that the uncle of the grandson was imprisoned by His Majesty for resisting reform and other illegal things.
This is still the will of the crown princess to ask His Majesty personally, and the heart of reform is known to everyone.
This Lu Ping died in prison on the same day, and before he died, he left a letter detailing his various mistakes, such as murder, rape, usury, etc., and the end of the letter was his sincere repentance.
Then he took poison and died, it stands to reason that such a prisoner, the Criminal Department will not let him have the opportunity to commit suicide by taking poison, but Lu Ping still took poison and died.
Even Lu Ping's corpse was thrown in a mass grave outside the city, and no one collected the corpse for him, this is the uncle of the grandson!
When He Qiu knew the news, his face changed instantly, and he secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, this Lu family is ruthless enough, and it can be seen from her handling of Lu Ping's affairs that she is definitely not a good stubble.
In this way, it seems that the death of the crown prince may really have nothing to do with the crown princess Lu.
Thinking of this, He Qiu hurriedly pulled the two Zhu Gaochi brothers over, and warned them not to provoke the crown princess Lu in the future.
Zhu Gaoxu was still a little unconvinced, feeling that this would lose his manly dignity.
Zhu Gaochi quickly understood the seriousness of the matter, the Lu family could be so ruthless to his own younger brother, and his actions were clean and neat, why would he not assassinate the prince and push his son to inherit the throne?
If the prince is still alive, I am afraid that Zhu Yunxi is more favorite, after all, the relationship between Zhu Biao and Chang is too good, and with Lan Yu on his side, it is difficult to choose Zhu Yunxi.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly pulled Zhu Gaochu, signaled him to shut up, and said to He Qiu seriously.
"Brother-in-law, we understand, we will definitely not provoke her easily, as for the things you said in private, we should not have heard it, let alone say it outside."
He Qiu nodded with satisfaction, "It would be great if Gao Xu could be as sensible as you!" ”
Zhu Gaochi ignored the dissatisfaction on Zhu Gaochu's face, and just asked hesitantly.
"Brother-in-law, I'm afraid the matter really has something to do with her, are we just watching her get away with it?"
Emotionally speaking, Zhu Gaochi really can't accept this result, Zhu Biao is his uncle, and his relationship has always been very good, and he takes care of their family.
If he was allowed to look at the poisonous woman of the Lu family like this, and live like this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't bear it.
He Qiu scratched his head and said.
"The water is too deep, I really don't recommend that we get involved, at most we can beat the side drum together."
Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, and he looked at He Qiu expectantly.
He Qiu smiled mysteriously, "You should know in a few days." ”
didn't wait for a few days, the death of Lu Ping in the capital spread, and the various stories behind it were more exciting than one another, and in the end, they were touting Lu as the mother of the grandson, who understood the righteousness, and did not hesitate to sacrifice his brother for the sake of national affairs, and never dragged his grandson back, he was really a heroine among women!
Along with it, there was also a newly printed edition of "The Female Commandment", which did not add anything else, but added the matter of how the Lu family punished Lu Ping to inform the world.
Such gossip always spreads quickly, and by the time Donggong reacts, these news have already spread all over the sky.
He Qiu only knew that in the next few days, Zhu Yunwen's face was very bad, his eye sockets were all black, and he had lingering fatigue.
He Qiu understood that his strategy was still somewhat useful, and she was successfully disgusted to the Lu family, as long as she became uncalm, she would always show more horses' feet.
