"What you want is nothing more than rights, a right, and a profit."

Zhu Gaoxian said calmly, "Using power for personal gain, seeking power for profit, you come and go, officials protect each other, and finally pour the silver of the treasury and the people's silver into your own pocket, am I right?"

"The imperial court gave each adult thousands of taels of silver every year, and finally raised a group of moths, only to eat but not dry, am I right?"

"On the surface, I read the books of the sages with a breeze on my sleeves, which seems to be high-sounding, but in fact I am greedy, am I right?"

The officials present were red-faced when he asked.

Who would dare to say that he is innocent if he is serious?

If you don't take it, if I don't take it, the people above can't take it, and if the people above don't take it, how can you and I improve?

Someone couldn't help but get up and ask, "Your Highness, isn't it hurting us a little too much when you say that?"

Zhu Gaoxian glanced at him, Jiangxi Political Envoy Si Zuo participated in politics Wang Ling, who turned out to be in the military department, and had just been promoted this year.

He glanced down at the list: Wang Ling, the political envoy of Jiangxi, had participated in the resale of illicit salt in the high government......

You don't need to look at it when you see this, it's another prison sentence.

He looked at Wang Ling, who was speaking, and muttered, "Hurt your mother's head?"

The money was taken, the official was promoted, and now I tell you two big truths, do you think what I said hurt too much?

Do you want to have a face?

Wang Ling was speechless for a while, slumped in his chair, and muttered: "Insult Sven, insult Sven......

……

Zhu Gaoxian looked at everyone and said, "Whether you are greedy or not, it is the business of Jinyiwei, as long as you are not afraid of losing your head, you can be greedy as you like."

"Whether you are greedy for money or love for power, I only have one request for you, that is, you have to do things for me during your tenure."

"When the errand is done, everyone is happy. If you can't do your errands well, and you're greedy for money, I can tell you very clearly that this kind of person is the focus of Jinyiwei."

"Who am I, what am Lu Chaoyang, what kind of person is Shen Qingyu, and what kind of person is Zhang Muzhi, you know very well in your hearts, once you become the focus of Jinyiwei's attention, you can just make a good coffin and lie in it with peace of mind."

The Jinyi Guards under the helm of the East Palace, for the Wenchens, were no less deterrent than the Jinyi Guards during the Hongwu Dynasty.

Jinyiwei, the Inspectorate of Taxes, these two names, have become the shadow of all officials.

The former wants your life, and the latter wants you money, and they are targeting, so it is really Lord Yama who shook his head when he saw it.

Jin Yiwei did something, that is for you when you were a child, you can find out if you peeked at the widow next door taking a bath, but once you enter the gate of the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, the possibility of coming out of it is very small.

And the Tax Supervision Yuan, after being targeted by him, you don't have to resist, think carefully about how much money you are greedy, and then list a tax bill for black and white taxes. Try your best to pay the taxes owed to the state, and if you pay them, you will be ruined and avoid disasters. If you can't pay it, the Tax Inspectorate will copy your house first, and then transfer it to Jinyiwei, a seat in Fusi Yaza in Beizhen.

"I know you may not think much of what I'm saying, but you can listen patiently."

Zhu Gaoxian continued, "From now on, the Ming Dynasty will implement the eighteenth-class merit system, and the promotion and promotion of official positions will be determined according to political performance, and if the political performance is excellent, they will be promoted, and the imperial court will issue additional pension silver according to political performance. If the performance is not up to standard, they will be demoted, and a certain amount of share will be deducted from the pension."

"The eighteenth-class meritorious knighthood system, promoted to the sixteenth rank, the Earl of Fengwen. Promoted to the seventeenth rank, Marquis of Fengwen. Promoted to the nineteenth rank, Duke Fengwen. This title is not replaceable, but it is hereditary."

Someone couldn't help but get up excitedly and asked, "What the prince said, is it true?"

Zhu Gaoxian responded: "There is no lie."

The eighteenth-class meritorious service system was established in accordance with the twenty-class military merit system of the Qin Dynasty.

After the Shang Dynasty changed the law, it was stipulated that as long as the soldiers of the Qin State captured a head of the enemy's armor, they could obtain a first-class title, a hectare of fields, a house, and a servant.

The more heads you get, the higher your knighthood is, and after the battle, you cut off the enemy's head and bring it back to the barracks as evidence.

If an ordinary soldier captures two enemy armor heads on the battlefield, his parents as prisoners can be released immediately. If his wife is a slave, he can also be converted to a commoner.

If you win a battle, the junior official will be promoted to one level, and the big official will be promoted to three levels.

Inspired by the twentieth rank military merit, the soldiers of Daqin screamed excitedly, and when they saw the enemy soldiers on the battlefield, they were like seeing their own father, and happily stepped forward to cut off the head of their "father" and bring it back to the barracks.

It's just that in the Han Dynasty, the twentieth rank military merit system no longer lives up to its name.

In the Western Han Dynasty, another prince was added. At the beginning, the prince had meritorious heroes, and the ancestors were all killed.

Daqin wants to knight you, and he really gives it; The big man wants to knight you, he is really killed.

So after the Han Dynasty, there was a saying: Don't be too comparative, I'll kill you if you compare.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di closed his eyes lightly: "Smelt [Zhu Youxiao]."

[Whether or not you confirm whether to smelt "Zhu Youxiao", after smelting, you will no longer be able to simulate "Zhu Youxiao's life".] 】

"Confirm."

[At the end of smelting, a random identity simulation fragment of "Zhu Qiqin" has been smelted*1.] 】

Zhu Di touched his head, and he was a little uncertain.

Who is Zhu Zhanqin?

In terms of seniority, it should be his great-grandson.

Could it be...... King Qi's grandson?

[Select simulation, Zhu Qiqin's random identity ......]

[Selected.] 】

[Simulated object: Zhu Qiqin.] 】

[Identity: King of Liao and General of Tiance. 】

[Time period: Taichang 25th year, June.] 】

Zhu Di wanted to take a sip of tea, but couldn't help but squirt out.

God, Admiral Tiance?

Really, bro?

Admiral Tiance, who is above the Three Dukes, second only to the nominal First Three Divisions of the Civil Officials; The Tiance Mansion under the jurisdiction of General Tiance is the head of the Military Attache Mansion, above the Fourteen Guard Mansions.

Admiral Tiance can recruit talents on his own as officials in the Tiance Mansion, that is, the so-called Xu Zizhi officials.

Compared with the three divisions who are only fictitious titles, Admiral Tiance really has real power.

The one who made Admiral Tiance fire out of the circle was undoubtedly that Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

The position of Admiral Tiance was an important bargaining chip for Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin, and Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, especially the power to purchase his own official subordinates, which gave him the authority to recruit talents. At the suggestion of Fang Xuanling, he recruited Du Yan to Tiance Mansion to prevent him from joining the prince's camp.

After the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin was the crown prince, at this time he was no different from the emperor, and he no longer needed the position of this courtier, and in the same year, he abolished the Tiance Mansion that helped him win power.

In the end of the Tang Dynasty, Admiral Tiance was only Li Shimin. In later generations, only six people from the Song Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period received this honor.

Among his children and grandchildren, how could there be a ...... Admiral Tiance?

[Taichang 25th year, June. 】

[You are in Liaoyang City in Liaodong, sitting in the north and looking south, hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers under the city, strong soldiers and horses, equipped with the most elite weapons, you can really be described as the division of tigers and wolves, you are the commander of Liaodong after the eldest princess. 】

[You are the fourth son of the current Taichang Emperor Zhu Zhanqi, and the grandson of the first emperor Shizuwu Emperor Zhu Gaoxian. 】

[Because the eldest princess has never married in her life, you were passed to the eldest princess and became an eldest prince. 】

[The eldest princess Zhu Yingjing, the eldest daughter of Emperor Shizuwu, the eldest sister of your father, that is, your aunt. Different from ordinary women, the eldest princess inherited the martial arts of the ancestors, and her appearance was gentle and sweet, but she was born warlike and was good at using the horse lance, and she had repeatedly asked the ancestor to lead the troops to the battle, and the ancestor who loved the girl had no choice but to agree. 】

[It turns out that the eldest princess is no less than a general who meets the spring general, she once led the army to the east, won many battles, and was stationed in the Duogandu Division and the Uszangdu Division

army, suppressing local forces. Later, he was placed in Liaodong by Shizu, commanded the old department, built ports and Liaodong shipyards, and inherited the fleet left by Zheng He. 】

[It can be said that in the hands of the eldest princess, there are not only more than 100,000 elite troops, but also the most powerful Liaodong naval division of the Ming Dynasty. 】

Zhu Di really couldn't hold back this time and sprayed the tea on the ground.

The eldest princess Zhu Yingjing?

The eldest girl of the fourth family?

He remembered that when he used to go to the East Palace, the little girl who liked to roll on the lawn. It's just that at that time, he focused all his attention on Zhu Gaoxian's eldest son Zhu Zhanqi, and didn't pay much attention to the girl.

But the girl he didn't pay attention to, but in the future, she became a general no less than General Chang Yuchun, commanding more than 100,000 troops?

It's not scientific!

[When Emperor Shizuwu was still alive, he passed you to the door of the eldest princess. 】

[This move is naturally meaningful, although your father was the crown prince at the time, he also commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and made great achievements for the establishment of the Hengjing prosperous era. But the more than 100,000 elites in the hands of the eldest princess are not under the control of the prince after all, not to mention that the eldest princess is not only in the Liaodong army, but also in the hands of the Liaodong Navy. 】

[The eldest princess never married in her life, which ensured that the Liaodong Army and the Liaodong Navy Division would not be passed on to her son after her death. But this leaves a hidden danger, that is, how to take over the army after the death of the eldest princess? 】

[When the eldest princess was on the Eastern Crusade, she once carried a silk with one arm, and such a fierce behavior is really difficult to associate with her beautiful face. But this also shows that the eldest princess is in good health. 】

[When the ancestor was there, if the eldest princess died, she could still summarize her old part. But if the ancestor is dead and the eldest princess is still alive, who should take over her old department? 】

[Therefore, the ancestor passed you to the eldest princess's door and used you to inherit the eldest princess's military power. 】

[When you were young, you were passed under the door of the eldest princess, looking at the female general who was dressed in armor and had a heroic posture, you shouted with a red face: "Mother." 】

[The eldest princess is very good to you, with her cleverness, she can naturally figure out that when the ancestor sends you, he will divide the power from her. But she didn't have a problem because of this, but took you to take over power in the army, and pinned the heavy responsibility of Liaodong on your hands little by little. 】

[She treats you as her own son, even though she knows that your purpose of approaching her is not pure. 】

[Time flies, you have spent year after year in Liaodong, from the boy who liked to be shy at the beginning, to the calm Liaodong general in her company, and the soldiers of all departments in Liaodong are happy and convinced of you. 】

[The eldest princess seems to be fierce, but you understand that this is a very simple and gentle girl. When she was in the army, she was a female marshal who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. In front of Sejo, she is a naughty and lovely daughter. When in front of your father, she is a trusted eldest sister. 】

[In your presence, she is a gentle stepmother.] 】

[In the forty years of Hengjing, your grandfather Zhu Gaoxian died. Your father succeeded him as Emperor Taichang, and in the same year, you were crowned King of Liao. 】

[The eldest princess was grieved by the departure of Shizu, and died of illness in Liaoyang City in Liaodong the following year. 】

[After the death of the eldest princess, she was "Ning", worthy of enjoying the temple, and was buried with military rites. The front and rear feather guards are advocating, the big chariot, the building, the squad sword forty people, and the tiger armor. 】

[Except for Princess Pingyang Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, she is the only woman who was held by the army for funeral. 】

[With the exploits of the eldest princess during her lifetime, this is not too much, and no one has raised objections. 】

[The father gave you the power to record how the eldest princess was in the annals of history, and you were silent for a moment, and only wrote one sentence on the paper:]

["The eldest princess has been in Liao for more than 20 years, loyal and flawless, sworn by the law, and her face of battle is fierce, and she has fought a hundred battles in the east. More than 100,000 soldiers are extorted, and Liaodong is threatened." 】

[The eldest princess once said to you before she died: "After the death of the mother, the mother will be buried next to the tomb of the first emperor, so that the mother can also follow the first emperor to fight in the nine shadows after death." 】

[After her death, you begged your father to bury the eldest princess around the ancestral tomb, and my father agreed. 】

[You personally led 30,000 Liaodong soldiers to escort the coffin of the eldest princess to Beijing, and buried it on the side of the mausoleum, fulfilling her last wish. 】

Zhu Di sighed: "The fourth child gave birth to a good girl."

Such a female general, she can really be described as a heroine among women, commanding thousands of troops and horses, opening up territory for her father and brother, making immortal achievements, and after her death, she will also fight for her father and emperor under the Nine Shadows.

If Zhu Di had such a daughter, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep.

It will be recorded in the history books: In the fifteenth year of Yongle, the emperor collapsed in the Qianqing Palace, and the cause of death was happy death.

[At the beginning of Emperor Taichang's succession, the world was peaceful, and during his reign, he was wise and decisive, and made great efforts to sweep away the hidden dangers left by being too strong after the prosperity of Hengjing. 】

[Following the prosperity of Hengjing, the rule of Kaitaichang. 】

[However, in the later years of Emperor Taichang, he did not establish a prince, even if the ministers played one after another, he did not choose which prince to appoint as the crown prince. 】

[Emperor Taichang had six sons and three daughters, the second son Heng Wang Dacai, and the eldest son Yu Wang was not as versatile as the second son, but he was not a mediocre master. Either one can inherit the great cause, but Emperor Taichang doesn't seem to be very satisfied. 】

[Today's Taichang Emperor is in his last years, but the country has no prince, so there is also turmoil. 】

[You don't understand what my father meant by this move. 】

[You know that your father is not a stupid person, there is no reason to do such a ridiculous act, could it be that he is really an old lake? 】

[And you just want to protect Liaodong where the eldest princess stayed, and you don't care about the rest, ignoring the turbulent situation in the world. 】

[Just when you thought that the matter of Lichu had nothing to do with you, Emperor Taichang suddenly made an unexpected move-]

[Make you the Admiral of Tiance!] 】
