Chapter 462: The First Divine Decree! Radically reform!
Although Yang Rong is an out-and-out scholar, he is also Zhu Gaoxian's most loyal cabinet chief, so after only a little hesitation, he did not hesitate to stand on Zhu Gaoxian's side.
"Your Majesty, if you really want to deal with the Kong family, you can't act rashly, you still need to make proper arrangements."
"Otherwise, with the current status and prestige of the Kong family, doing it at will will most likely cause the world to be shaken and uneasy, and there will be a lot of doubts and objections among the scholars, which will be very unfavorable to Your Majesty......."
Yang Rong considered from the aspect of stabilizing the overall situation, and believed that this was not the right time to deal with the Kong family.
After all, the Confucian family, a living signboard of the descendants of the saints, has been put in an extremely lofty position by thousands of dynasties and dynasties, to put it mildly, no matter which emperor changes the dynasty, he has not shown ill will to the Confucian family, but is busy rewarding the Confucian family, in this way to win over the hearts of the people and stabilize the situation between the government and the opposition.
Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne now, and it is a time when people's hearts are unstable, and then you have caught up with the previous assassination incident, all kinds of rumors and gossip of the Jingshi, and the driving force behind these great families in the Northland, the situation is chaotic and in urgent need of stability, and a big move will cause greater turmoil and twists and turns.
It is with such thoughts that Yang Rong will bitterly persuade Zhu Gaoxian:
"Your Majesty, your Taotao military strategy has long been known to the world, the Ming army, but also the shock of the sea, suppressing the eight directions, now is the time to open the rule of culture, take care of civil affairs, when you can slowly plan, calm down, not in a hurry......"
Hearing Yang Rong say this, Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Is this about to change from the mode of war in which the world is fought immediately to the mode of internal affairs in which farming and governing the country are suddenly changed?
He's really not used to it......
However, he thought about it for a while, now that Liaodong had been decided, the Japanese State had been subdued, and Mobei had just been swept away by himself, except for the northwest and south, there was nothing to be vigilant and fight for the time being.
In addition, the expedition to Mobei did deplete the financial savings of the household department, and Xia Yuanji and the others really gritted their teeth to squeeze out the money, food, and materials, and they really couldn't withstand the next large-scale war.
More than 30 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the time is not long, after experiencing the wanton abuse and killing of the former dynasty Mengyuan, the people have long been miserable, and the public is looking forward to a good rest.
After the toss of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, it can't be said that it has no effect, but it is far from making the people of the Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, and it is still far from this level......
At this time, it is indeed time to change the way of thinking about governance.
Zhu Gaoxian thought thoughtfully, during the Hongwu period, although Lao Zhu said that he loved the people, but his grandfather really had no ability to govern the world, in addition to being tired to half death, he kept tossing the officials, and the economy was very poor.
And when Lao Zhu died, Jianwen, a bad bastard, came to power, and he believed the words of those literati and stupidly did something to cut the domain, but he was seized by his own old man and turned against him.
Although he has paid great attention to the livelihood of the people under him since he was the king of Qi, he first conquered Liaodong and then pacified the Wa Kingdom, suppressed domestic rebellions, and then ran east and west to solve various contradictions and problems with the family, and not long ago he went on an expedition to Mobei......
In the past 30 years, the people of Daming have actually not had a few days of peace.
The people's hearts are at peace......
"You don't have a point."
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxian nodded, and said with appreciation:
"Over the years, I have been fighting back and forth, either killing this or fighting that, and the treasury has been tossed and turned, and there is almost no family fund."
"Although the imperial court has gained prestige, it is also a little unstable."
"In some places, most of the big families in some places are also extremely dissatisfied when they look at the appearance of the imperial court."
"Otherwise, why did I make such a big disturbance when I ascended the throne this time?"
"The prince of the country plotted to kill the emperor and the minister to assassinate the prince, it is almost a joke!"
"During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the feudal generals were unruly and unruly, and that's just it!"
Hearing Zhu Gaoxian's words, Yang Rong was suddenly shocked, and his face also showed surprise.
"Your Majesty, you must not compare it like this."
"The Ming Dynasty has won the righteousness of the country, no one can compare, Your Majesty, your sincere heart, is the blessing of thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Those rebels and thieves who dare to murder you are the real joke! I don't know the times, but I am a real mantis arm when the car is a generation! ”
Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, he didn't care about self-deprecation, so he just smiled and said to Yang Rong:
"So, Yang Qing, you and I still need to work together."
"This Daming has such a good start, but it can't be missed in my hands."
"Scholars all over the world say that I am an arbitrary martial artist, who does not understand literature and ink, and is engaged in nonsense, which is why there is such a big opposition."
"However, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and all I have done before is just to prepare all the ingredients and utensils."
"Next, it's time to start simmering and cooking slowly!"
He sat back down, thought about it, and said directly:
"I dictated, Yang Qing, you will draw up the purpose."
Yang Rong was excited at this time, and immediately took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the side, and tried to calm down before looking at Zhu Gaoxian.
"I have just succeeded to the throne, and many things are like a thousand things, and it is difficult to distinguish between them in a hurry, so we must open up our voices and take more talents, regardless of their background and status, and only look at their talents and abilities, so that they can serve the court."
"And many people who are struggling in the camp can no longer stay in the imperial court, and waste the country's financial resources and manpower in vain, and must be strictly investigated, and all those who are not capable enough, handle things unfairly, bend the law for bribes, and eat in the dead place will be deposed and punished!"
"Many officials have been involved in the assassination case before, not because I am strict and ruthless, but because these thieves are mad!"
"Therefore, it is specially decreed, one is to seek talents, and the other is to severely punish!"
When Zhu Gaoxian said this, he paused, looked up and thought for a while before he continued:
"The Academy of Liberal Arts will once again expand the scope of enrollment and admission, and those who enter the Academy of Liberal Arts are all protégés of the Son of Heaven and can enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment, but they must abandon what they have learned before and transfer to the courses taught by the Academy of Literature!"
"Although Wang Zhi is dead, but the culprit is still at large, I have made up my mind, and I ask the major families in the north to take the lead immediately, don't make mistakes!" (End of chapter)
