The date of the early dynasty was set for September 14, which was only the day of the official confrontation between the monarch and the minister, but the warm-up work between the two sides had already quietly begun.

The first to make a move was the civilian clique, and after the first assistant Wan An and the second assistant Liu Ji of the cabinet handed in their resignations, important officials such as the six ministries immediately followed suit.

Naturally, this move is not really a collective resignation, they have studied hard for ten years and worked hard for many years to get their current high position, how can they give up easily?

The great thing about the civilian clique is that they are united enough, and they are obviously a group of people who are greedy for power, but they are always able to put on a high posture for the country and the people.

According to the custom, whenever the new emperor ascended the throne, the important ministers of the court and the local governors would find excuses such as their own lack of ability to submit their resignations, showing the world that they were not greedy and powerful, and that the decision to stay or leave them to His Majesty.

Of course, this is actually a game directed and acted by the civilian clique.

Not to mention that the emperor who had just succeeded to the throne could not accept the resignation of all officials, and that would make the imperial court unable to function, and it would damage the interests of his own dynasty.

If Xinjun agrees to the resignation of a certain leader of the civil official group, then the countless younger brothers of this leader will be crazy to keep him, and even directly spray Xinjun.

It is precisely like this, although the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all negligent in their resignation due to their own lack of ability and other reasons, but you can really take them for life and death, then you will really lose.

Zhu Youzhu saw Li Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Li Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Zhou Hongmo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yu Zijun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Liu Fu, the right capital of the Imperial Palace.

It's just that I clearly know the virtues of these officials, and I can actually take the opportunity to take down a few officials, but there is no point in doing so.

Zhu Youzhu did not have a specific implementation plan for purging the officials of the six ministries, let alone a suitable replacement, so he replied: "I am the first heir, and I will use people to take care of general affairs, and I will not be allowed to resign."

I thought that this would be completed, but Li Min, the secretary of the household department, Zhou Hongmo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yu Zijun, the secretary of the military department, and Liu Fu, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, actually carried out the second round of resignation, as if they really expected that the emperor would not dare to agree.

Zhu Youzhi also chose to tolerate several important ministers who resigned for the second time, and even if he retained him again, he said: "Er is the pillar of the country, so please don't allow it."

If the third round is dismissed, then it proves that this official has a strong intention to go, and at this time he can be allowed to ask, and other officials are not easy to retain.

It's just that these court officials are all old fritters, so naturally it is impossible to go to the third course.

Zhu Youzhu actually hoped that there would be three rounds of resignation and "death" for court officials, but by the third round, they all turned into shrunken turtles, and they couldn't help but curse: "A bunch of hypocrites!" ”

In the blink of an eye, it has reached the thirteenth, and tomorrow will be the first morning pilgrimage.

"Your Majesty, this is the recital of the deliberations of the various yamen tomorrow morning, please take a look!" The celebrant Huai'en personally sent the song over, looking respectful and authentic.

The early dynasty of the Ming Dynasty was not like the TV series, an official in the Jinluan Hall suddenly came out to throw out an issue, and then all the officials in the palace expressed their opinions one after another, and finally reached a conclusion.

The real early dynasty is far more "boring" than everyone thinks, since the eight-year-old Yingzong ascended the throne, the early Ming Dynasty has turned into "case doctrine".

At that time, the cabinet minister Yang Rong and others "considered the Holy Communion to be tired", simplified the procedures of the early dynasty, and stipulated that "every morning court, eight words and things are allowed, and the day before is the first to be enshrined by the deputy to Your Excellency, and Yu is punished with various things."

The officials of each yamen sent a copy of the recital to be discussed tomorrow to the cabinet one day in advance, and the cabinet drafted the vote, and then His Majesty ordered the celebrant to approve the red, and the morning court could "answer".

It is precisely because of this that the early dynasty has actually lost the significance of handling political affairs, and it is just that the matter has been dealt with the day before, and then it is read out in the early dynasty.

"Let's put it aside!" Zhu Youzhi was out of sight and out of sight of Huai'en, who served as the master of ceremonies, but he commanded without raising his head.

Wynn saw that Zhu Youzhu was drawing strange paintings such as Ida on paper, and was about to step forward to see what was going on, but a young eunuch stood in front of him.

"Father-in-law Huai, let the master put it aside, and you can just give it to me!" Liu Jin knew that Huai En was the eunuch in the palace, but he still stood firmly on Zhu Youji's side.

Huai En was very displeased with this little eunuch who came out of nowhere, but he coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to practice Danqing Immaculate Imperial View at the moment, how about having the celebrant approve the red before sending it over?" ”

Zhu Youji's face changed suddenly, but he never thought that this dead eunuch would dare to make such a mistake, is this to be a puppet emperor himself?

Huai En has his own set of rhetoric, and seems to think about Zhu Youji: "Your Majesty, all the loyal ministers in this dynasty are loyal and upright ministers, and the slaves and maids are also checking for you, so there will definitely be no mistakes!" At the beginning of this year, it is not advisable to make a statement too early, so as not to be corrected by the science and road to cause trouble, it is not beautiful! ”

Liu Jin's brows furrowed slightly, although he did seem to be thinking about His Majesty when he heard these words, but he actually wanted His Majesty to take care of things, this old eunuch was really not a good person.

"I know what to do, you just do your job, put the song aside, and go down!" Zhu Youzhu is not good to forcibly dismiss Huai En from office now, so he forcibly held back the anger in his heart.

Huai En looked at Zhu Youji, who still didn't look at him, and faintly felt that this prince who had grown up had indeed become a little different, so he bowed his hand slightly and said, "Obey!" ”

Liu Jin took the song from Huai'en's hand, and when he saw Huai'en leaving, he couldn't help but vomit: "Master, this old eunuch obviously has a sharp-mouthed monkey's cheeky face, but he knows everything all day long, he is simply a complete hypocrite, and he has lost the face of our eunuchs!" ”

Zhu Youzhu found that Huai'en, who was held up to the sky by the civil official group, did have sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, but he did not answer, and was looking at the planning of the salt law he had just completed with satisfaction.

If you want to govern the country well, you must first build a healthy financial system, so that you can have enough money to solve the problems that the dynasty encounters.

It is not realistic to want to get more grain taxes from the gentry for a while, and the consequence of this is likely to be a fire in the Qianqing Palace or falling into the water, so solving the salt problem is the best policy.

Some people have speculated that the highest salt production in the Qing Dynasty reached 2 billion kilograms, while the output in the last years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty was 300 million kilograms, so there is a lot of room for production to be excavated.

In the course of these days, he had gradually perfected his plan to rectify the political salt. Even if the salt tax revenue cannot reach the 49 million taels in the three years of Xuantong, it cannot be like staying at the scale of 1 million taels, and the salt tax revenue will become an important part of building the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.

"Master, please read it!" When Zhu Youzhu glanced over here, Liu Jin immediately sent the song to Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu saw that there were only more than ten copies of the notes, and the first one to open was the one sent by the Ministry of Rites, but when he saw that he was going to award rewards to the civil and military ministers and the military and civilians, he couldn't help laughing.

"Princes, waiters, horses, and uncles, they give twenty taels of silver; civil officials first and second grades, fifteen taels of silver; three pins, ten taels of silver; Four products, eight taels of silver...... Officers of the first and second grades, six taels of silver; three pins, four taels of silver; four pins, five pins, three taels of silver; Six to nine grades, two taels of silver; Miscellaneous duties, record young soldiers, silver one or two...... Those who have not inherited the descendants of the deceased marquis and uncles, and those who have no descendants to inherit but have a mother or wife, each has five taels of good food. clerks, supervisors, astronomical students, music and dance students, doctors, and Shuntianfu students, each with a silk horse; In the Beijing officials, Zhiyin, Chengcha, the old and folk craftsmen, cooks, and musicians in the workshop, each cloth a horse. This said: Enthronement, then for the eternal system! ”

Zhu Youzhu saw that these civil officials were really wishful thinking, not to mention that there was a big gap between the rewards of civil officials and military officials, and now he was not satisfied with paying money from himself, and he even wanted to "make it a permanent system", and asked his children and grandchildren to send them money to succeed to the throne.

"Master, Zhang Shuzi has arrived!" Liang Fang walked over and respectfully said to Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu gently put down the recital of the Ministry of Rites, but asked curiously: "Liang Fang, when my father ascended the throne, did he have the gift of silver?" ”

"The slave maid remembers that the first emperor succeeded to the throne and did not have the grace of enthronement, and the Ming Dynasty only gave the enthronement grace to the army and the people when Taizong ascended the throne, but at that time the reward was treasure money!" Liang Fang thought about it, and replied seriously.

Zhu Youzhu asked Liu Jin to bring Zhang Sheng in, but he found that this group of civilian-bureaucratic groups really thought that they were easy to bully, not only to loot money from themselves, but also to formulate an "ancestral system" that was beneficial to the civilian-official clique.

I have to say that there may be various reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, but the biggest drawback is that this growing civilian-official group has absorbed the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Sheng came in from outside, and after learning what happened, he said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the matter of enthronement has spread!" If Your Majesty does not agree to the invitation of the Ministry of Rites now, many low-level officials are afraid of resentment, and this move is afraid that it will be detrimental to Your Majesty's reputation! ”

"Huh...... The Ministry of Rites is going to force me to reward! Zhu Youzhi learned that the matter had spread in the capital, and he couldn't help but laugh angrily.
