Chen He was just about to speak.

Lu Qian slapped him in the face with a backhand: "Did you let you speak?" Take! ”

Li Jue could see that Jinyiwei was coming at him!

"Your Majesty, our guards are resting, that's why we came to the hall for leisure."

Li Jue is calm and unhurried, quite a scholar, after all, he is a person who was personally trained by the emperor.

Lu Qian pouted and laughed, walked to the door of the elegant room opposite, and gently pushed the door open.

"Deputy Commander Lu!" Li Jue was anxious and walked over to block Lu Qian.

"Tut-tut!"

Lu Qian saw that the Oiran was wiping his ass.

The little secret was discovered, Li Jue made a big red face and quickly closed the door.

"If Guard Li likes it, please ask for a favor and accept it."

"According to your status, Your Majesty will definitely not refuse."

Lu Qian smiled: "It's not a matter to be sneaky like this, if it spreads, it won't be good for your reputation." ”

"The affairs of this official, don't worry about Deputy Commander Lu." Li Jue turned his head away.

"It is rumored that Zhang Zhuang is the son of the criminal minister Zhang Lun, but is there such a thing?" Lu Qian asked suddenly.

Li Jue was taken aback: "The official doesn't know. ”

Zhang Zhuang is Zhang Lun's illegitimate son, and Li Xian is for the sake of his old friends and helps one or two, so he saved Zhang Zhuang's life.

But this Zhangzhuang is too high-profile, and he stayed in Yueqing, Wenzhou.

When he heard that there was an open collection of books in Beijing, he went to Beijing to collect books.

Zhang Lun likes to collect books, and Zhang Zhuang inherits his lineage and also likes to collect.

When he came to Beijing, he was very high-profile, mingling with Li Jue, Chen He and others, and preaching Li Jue's close relationship with him everywhere.

Only then was the secret dug up by someone with a heart.

Li Jie was secretly annoyed by his father, why did he save him, Zhang Lun was punished by His Majesty for the Nine Clans, so he shouldn't go against His Majesty.

"Guard Li is not afraid, it's just a small talk."

"You still have to go to the front of the palace to serve, and the official won't bother."

Lu Qian shook a shot modestly, and as soon as he went downstairs, he turned his head and came up: "By the way, Zhang Zhuang scolded Your Majesty, does Guard Li know?" ”

"Huh?" Li Jue's mind hasn't turned around yet?

"Yes? Just know? Take! Lu Qian directly bit Li Xian.

Li Jue shouted that he was wronged.

But Lu Qian covered his mouth, asked people to tie him up, and carried him out directly.

Zhang Shihua, who was sitting on the first floor drinking, naturally knew Li Jue, Chen He and Zhang Zhuang, and when he found that these three people were arrested, his eyes flashed with worry.

Jin Yiwei procrastinates.

Guan Yao arrested his rich son Nian Lianzhi and Wang Hong's son Wang Di, and scared himself enough.

The East Factory is different.

Fan Qing entered the hall of the East Factory and closed it directly.

All the literati, all arrested!

Q: Why?

Gave you face?

Dongchang can arrest whoever he wants!

"My lord, you are not in accordance with the rules by doing this, right?" Zhang Laier was dressed in palace clothes and came with all the money.

Her identity as a spy in the West Factory was completely exposed.

Instead of being condemned, he was promoted to be the master.

The layout of the three guild halls in Gyeongshi is similar, and they all started these six-story buildings this year and have become landmark buildings in Gyeonggi.

Each layer is similar, and the gameplay is similar.

Fan Qing glanced at her: "You are the woman who set up a trap for Gong Hui?" ”

"What? Adults want to avenge Gong Hui? ”

Zhang Laier sneered, there was a showdown, my sister is from Xichang! The little flag that the emperor sealed!

It's about the same, my sister is the emperor's person!

Fan Qing shook his head: "Gong Hui's matter, I am to blame, but this is His Majesty's holy decree, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

Zhang Lai'er immediately knelt down in front of the Forbidden City: "Weichen Zhang Lai'er obeys the order!" ”

Fan Qing laughed, do you have such a lot of scenes?

What does Your Majesty's decree have to do with you?

You still call yourself Wechen?

Nerves are not normal.

Fan Qing didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Zhang Laier has become a bright card in the West Factory, but it is useless, it is better to raise it in the East Factory and catch the spies of the West Factory through her.

"What kind of person has such a big breath?"

On the third floor, a drunken man poked his head out.

King Jing!

Why is he here?

Fan Qing saluted: "See His Royal Highness King Jing!" ”

"It turned out to be Commander Fan?"

King Jing was drunk and confused, and stretched out his hand: "Come on, come on, arrest this king too, this king has also sinned!" ”

He is worried that he can't be demoted to the king of the county, so he won't have a chance to send it to the door?

Fan Qing smiled bitterly, recently the palace has been a demon, making trouble in various parts of the capital, it seems that he is begging the emperor to be demoted to the king of the county.

At the beginning, the factory guard grabbed the prince and reported to the palace.

As a result, the palace let the factory guards release people, and basically did not care much about the affairs of the palaces, which led to the vassal kings raising their heads in Beijing, and they were rampant everywhere.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, this matter still needs to be investigated......"

"Investigate the fart, this king has broken the law! Hurry up and catch this king! ”

Don't look at King Jing as a pitiful worm in front of the emperor, when he leaves the palace, Hu Hu has to give him three points of thin noodles.

The Prince of Daming has a lot of cards.

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Jing, what crime has you committed?" Fan Qing was depressed.

King Jing pointed to the literati who had been taken away: "This king has committed the same crime as them!" ”

"Slander your majesty?" Fan Qing's brows furrowed.

"What?"

King Jing woke up when he was drunk, and said in a sharp voice: "Slandering the king? ”

"Who?"

"Who dares to slander the king?"

"Your Majesty is so merciful and loves the world, what white-eyed wolf dares to slander your majesty?"

"Are they still human?"

King Jing was scared, you Fan Qing didn't play cards according to the routine.

Fan Qing knew that King Jing wouldn't dare.

King Jing rushed down from the third floor and kicked at several literati: "Are you slandering the king?" ”

"Damn, are you still human?"

"Your Majesty is so merciful, do you still scold him, do you still have a little conscience?"

Kicking while scolding.

"Wronged!" The literati who were kicked were also unlucky, so they held a poetry meeting, but they were taken away by Dongchang.

"Who slandered the king?"

King Jing stood on the steps, and he was a man who couldn't open it: "Your Majesty has all the people in mind, you white-eyed wolves dare to insult Your Majesty?" Conscience is eaten by dogs? ”

"Come on, come on, stand up, this king and you guys are fighting!"

Fan Qing also went upstairs and stopped King Jing who was pretending to be stupid: "His Royal Highness King Jing, let's go with this official." ”

"What does it have to do with this king?"

King Jing retreated in horror: "By the way, this king still has something to do, so I won't disturb you in performing official duties, see you later." ”

Fan Qing smiled: "His Royal Highness King Jing, what you said in person is the same crime as these people. ”

"If Dongchang hears about it and doesn't care about it, it is also a felony for lowly duty."

"Don't be embarrassed by the inferior people, go to the East Factory and explain the matter."

"It won't take you too long."

The clan has done a lot of bad things in Beijing.

But the emperor did not punish him.

As a result, the factory guards did not have a problem, and they watched Jingshi being made into a miasma, and they had to endure it.

"Wronged!" King Jing didn't dare to joke about such a thing!

The emperor was not satisfied with the vassal king, but it was not a day or two.

Since Emperor Taizong, I have seen that the vassal king is not pleasing to the eye, and this has been four generations!

Do you really think that the emperor cares about family affection and refuses to condemn the crime?

That's the clan just testing back and forth on the emperor's bottom line!

I didn't give the emperor enough excuses!

As long as the emperor is given enough excuses, you see what the emperor will do?

Demotion is all merciful.

"Take it away!"

Fan Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense.

"My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to do business if it's like this."

Li Sanniang, who was in charge of the Dongchang Hall, walked up to Fan Qing and saluted: "If there is such a trouble, I am afraid that the business in the next few days will also be affected." ”

"It's okay, it's okay to be arrested and imprisoned, and after the review, those who are not at fault will be released."

Fan Qing is not interested in this kind of work that is not technically difficult.

Li Sanniang whispered and glanced at Zhang Lai'er: "Still keep her?" ”

"Keep it and see what tricks the West Factory can play."

Shu Liang is not in Beijing, and Fan Qing is basically presiding over the East Factory.

At this time, a eunuch drove a horse to pass a decree, and the holy decree wrote: All the literati will be escorted to Xihuamen, and Your Majesty will see them in person.

Fan Qing was taken aback, it seemed that the palace was extremely angry.

He didn't dare to slack off, and escorted everyone to Xihuamen.

Dongchang was short of manpower, so he temporarily recruited Xiu Mu's fanzi to go to Xihuamen to maintain order.

Lu Qian also didn't expect that His Majesty would meet these criminals in person.

He can arrest characters like Li Jue and Chen He.

As everyone knows, Guan Yao is even more ruthless, he arrested Wang Hong's son Wang Di, Sun Yuanzhen's son Sun Kefa, and the rich son Nian Lianzhi and so on.

Today, the martial arts hall and the national eunuch are all suspended, and the court gives rewards, and the sons of these important ministers all come to the hall to be chic, and I don't know if they really slandered the king or were implicated.

On the lively night of the Lantern Festival, I saw the factory guards escorting a large number of people and walking in the direction of the Forbidden City.

Kyoshi shook.

Hu Yifan is also admiring the lanterns.

When he heard the news, he immediately went home and reported it to his grandfather.

When Hu Hu heard this, he first made sure that any of the children in the clan had been arrested?

"It's not good, Your Majesty wants to take the opportunity to recruit the families of hundreds of officials in the world to Beijing!"

Hu Hui's face changed slightly: "Quick, go and ask Xing Guogong to come over...... Come back, go and invite Wang Hong, Wang Fu and Sun Yuanzhen to come! ”

"Grandfather, I heard that the son of Wang Ge Lao and Sun Shangshu was also involved."

Hu Hu gasped: "It's broken!" Change the old man's clothes, and the old man will enter the palace! ”

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Hu Yifan hurriedly took the court clothes from the old servant and waited for his grandfather to change into the court clothes.

Meditate on every major event.

Taking advantage of the effort of dressing, Hu Hu calmed down: "The son of an important minister in the court, the older one works as a guard in the palace, and the younger one studies in the Guozijian and the martial arts hall, which is the grace of His Majesty." ”

"Tonight's Lantern Festival, Your Majesty is gracious, gives the guards, prisoners, and cousins a holiday, and gives a reward."

"Your Majesty is particularly kind to these people, all because their fathers and ancestors served in the court."

"Your Majesty has always believed that if your father and ancestor are loyal and reliable, your son can be trained as a loyal minister, so as to be especially generous to the guards, prisoners, and cousins."

"As soon as it was learned, the son of an important minister, the palace guard, also participated in slandering the king."

"Your Majesty will be furious, under the thunder, I don't know how many people will be involved!"

Hu Hu smiled bitterly: "When the old man enters the palace, he can still resist one or two for them, so as not to implicate his father and ancestors." ”

"Grandfather, why do such a thankless task?"

Hu Yifan didn't understand.

Since you are serving Your Majesty, why do you have to work against Your Majesty?

Hu Hui glanced at him: "Da is to help the world, and you can't be alone." ”

"Grandson, you have to understand that if the courtiers don't report to the group for warmth, over time, they will lose their power."

"The old man saved the people of the world today, just like Hu Guang recommended the old man that day."

"Hu Guang doesn't want to reciprocate, but recommends talents for the country."

"The old man has never repaid Hu Guang, and even if his descendants were killed for their crimes, the old man never blessed him and did not say a word."

"Just as the old man saves people today and doesn't want to reciprocate, these people will not repay the old man in the future."

"But the old man has to do it."

"The person sitting in this seat, the thing that must be done."

Hu Hu's clothes were dressed, and the official sedan chair outside the door was also ready.

Hu Yifan seemed to understand: "Grandfather, what you are talking about is inheritance, right?" ”

"Clever!"

Hu Hu approvingly: "This is the inheritance, standing in the position of the old man, you must protect the people of the world, not for anything else, from generation to generation, only then can you have the prosperity of civil officials." ”

To put it bluntly, the roots of the literati cannot be broken.

You can beat, scold, or belittle, but you can't kill, you can't use it.

This is the power of civil servants.

Like Hu Hu, Sun Yuanzhen, Geng Jiuchou, Bai Gui, Yu Shiyue, Ma Ang, Wang Hong, Wang Fu, Yue Zheng and others all entered the palace.

Only Yu Qian did not come.

Obviously, he has accepted the status of a nobleman, and he does not dare to mix with the affairs of civil officials.

A martial artist who is a very popular minister, but he still wants to win the heart of a civil official, is he going to be Sima Yi?

Yu Qian has changed!

From a selfless saint to a snob who cares.

Yue Fei has no need, but Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi enjoy wealth and nobility.

And in the palace.

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and meditated, Shu Liang went to the secret music, he had secretly trained 3,000 people in Shanxi, all of whom were strong elite soldiers.

Once there is a change in the Beijing division, he can quickly enter Beijing through the Bauhinia Pass.

"Emperor, the factory guards have escorted the sinners to the Xihua Gate one after another." Feng Xiao brought in a bowl of ginseng soup.

"Let them kneel, sober and sober, and tomorrow the morning comes, and I will see them again."

Zhu Qiyu took it and took a sip.

Tastes good.

"The emperor, the factory guard has a secret report, and the Taifu and other important ministers are on their way to the palace." Feng Xiao handed over the silk handkerchief.

Zhu Qiyu wiped his mouth: "What are they going to do?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm interceding for the literati."

"Nope!"

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Tell them that the palace gate has fallen into the key, and they can't open the door without special circumstances." ”

It's really spoiled for them.

In the middle of the night, I also want to enter the palace to express my feelings.

"Slave obeys!"

Feng Xiao sent someone to deliver the message.

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and leaned on the cushion: "Feng Xiao, you say, how far can I go?" ”

Feng Xiao was taken aback: "Emperor, if you kill people, I'm afraid that the literati will be broken, and if you want to Huairou the people outside the world, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a few years." ”

"You see it that way, too?" Zhu Qiyu was also hesitating about this matter.

If it weren't for the sake of a quick Huairou plugged out.

He directly ordered them to be cut down.

Daming is the most lacking in people.

But there is a lack of literati.

"Emperor, the slave doesn't dare to say it!"

Feng Xiao knelt on the ground.

"I will tell you." Zhu Qiyu slowly opened his eyes, sat up straight, picked up the ginseng soup, and took a few sips.

"Emperor, you are too eager to do things." Feng Xiaodao.

"Eager? I've endured it for so long, and I've jumped out of it too, and I'm still in a hurry? Zhu Qiyu felt that Feng Xiao was a bit ridiculous.

"Your Majesty."

Feng Xiao took the ginseng soup and whispered: "The best way to deal with literati is to boil frogs in warm water and let them drill into the trap by themselves, instead of catching them casually like this." ”

"Hmph, you're a cunning man."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I don't need to be so troublesome, I can dispose of whoever I want, the imperial power is in hand, and I am not afraid of others." ”

Feng Xiao showed a worried look: "Emperor, what if someone catches your weakness and uses you to kill people?" ”

Zhu Qiyu's eyes narrowed: "What news did you receive?" ”

"That's not true, but the emperor, you have to guard against it." Feng Xiao was worried.

With the emperor's character of killing all sides.

Sooner or later, it will be used as a knife.

In the end, it will be spurned by history and nailed to the pillar of historical shame.

The literati's stomachs are full of bad water.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly smiled: "You, turn around and persuade me not to kill, right?" ”

"Emperor, if a rebel uses you to eradicate dissidents, it is the most terrifying." Feng Xiaozheng said.

"Let the factory guard collect more information." Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes.

Feng Xiao's face was full of worry.

It is impossible to collect intelligence, and it is impossible to collect information from all over the world, and it is impossible to stare at everyone.

If you don't change your character, you will suffer sooner or later.

Outside the noon gate.

Hu Hu looked at Tang Yinyun and the others who were hanging, and only then did he realize the emperor's thunderous anger.

There were eunuchs in the palace who told them that the emperor was asleep and did not open the palace door.

"Old lady, what should I do!"

Wang Hong really wanted to pinch the unfilial son to death.

Wouldn't it be good for you to take a day off and study at home, you have to go to the guild hall to send it, and in the end you got into trouble.

My Wang Hong I cleared his name and was ruined by an unfilial son!

"Elder Wang Ge, are you saving your son, or do you want to clear your name?" Hu Hu asked.

"Of course it's going to be cleared!"

Wang Hong did not hesitate: "What is the use of keeping such unfilial sons?" ”

"Then kneel at the gate of the palace, please Your Majesty kill Wang Di!"

Wang Hong's face changed: "Didn't that force Your Majesty to release people?" ”

Hu Hu smiled bitterly: "Things have developed to this point, you can't kill yourself." ”

"This bastard is in a dilemma! It's really unfilial! ”

Wang Hong gritted his teeth: "Serving in the palace, I don't understand what I want to serve, insulting my father, is his head missing a string?" ”

"Elder Wang Ge, don't be so angry first, there may be a misunderstanding."

Wang Fu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he was strict and ordered his son to study at home, otherwise he would also cause trouble, fortunately.

"This official has cleared his name and ruined his hands!" Wang Hong's tears flowed out.

"Elder Wang Ge, you're better."

Sun Yuanzhen cried: "The son of the old man's family, he is over forty years old, and he has not achieved anything, and the old man has no hope, but he has caused trouble for the old man." ”

Many officials wept, and their sons went in.

Wang Hong glanced at him, it was your son who brought my son badly!

"Old lady, what should I do?" Sun Yuanzhen didn't want to bow to Hu Hu.

He is the secretary of the military department, and Hu Hu is the secretary of the ministry.

He once wanted to compete for the title of the first book of the six books.

As a result, it was ruined on the unfilial son.

His son can't hold it himself, and the emperor can't hold it.

Several times made the emperor so angry that he jumped to his feet and asked Sun Yuanzhen to strangle his son to death.

Such a strange thing, Sun Yuanzhen wanted to cry.

"Wait for tomorrow morning, and ask Your Majesty for guilt." Hu Hu didn't have a good way, and the emperor didn't see them at all.

A good Lantern Festival, a day of family reunion.

But thousands of literati knelt in front of Xihuamen.

And the factory guards are still arresting people.

Some literati who were not in the hall were arrested in the inn where they lived, and escorted them to Xihuamen one after another.

had a good Lantern Festival night, and it was made a lot of noise.

These people will kneel at the Xihua Gate all night.

In the palace, after Zhu Qiyu's palaces gave a banquet, he went to bed early.

Early the next morning.

Zhu Qiyu was full of energy and exercised, and rode the royal chariot to the early court.

Many officials came early this morning.

"Zhuqing came early enough."

Zhu Qiyu chuckled and swept past the kneeling officials, walked up to His Majesty, and sat on the dragon chair: "Flatten." ”

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The courtier kowtowed, and then slowly stood up.

Sun Yuanzhen knelt on the ground: "The old minister pleaded guilty, the old minister's child is unfilial, slandered the king, he should be punished!" ”

Zhu Qiyu also heard in the morning that Sun Yuanzhen's stupid son was also kneeling in front of Xihua Gate.

Many guards in the palace are kneeling in front of the Xihua Gate.

"Sun Qing, it's not your fault that you are not filial to be born, it's his nature."

Zhu Qiyu pursed his lips and was happy: "I can't help it, or you go back and strangle it, it won't give you a headache." ”

The courtiers understood.

Princess Gu'an is not filial.

The emperor made all the officials in the world, and even the sons of the gentry in the world unfilial.

Sun Yuanzhen really wanted to agree.

"Sun Qing, I'm kidding."

"My son is not filial, so he can't really strangle him, right?"

"Don't take it to heart."

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "It's like my Gu'an, how disobedient? ”

"I'm a father, don't I have nothing to do with her?"

"No, I'm going to wash clothes at the Raccoon Bureau."

"Yesterday during the Lantern Festival, I sent someone to take a look, her hands were full of blisters, she was thin, and she was well-behaved."

"This kid is most afraid of getting used to it, and being used to it is like killing a child."

Zhu Qiyu can't lose face by himself, since he is embarrassed, let the world lose face together.

It's not that my daughter is not filial.

It's a problem of the times, and all children are not filial.

Sun Yuanzhen cried: "The old minister also knows that there is a filial son under the stick, but the women in the family are used to holding it, and the old minister is not at home every day, how to control it?" ”

"It's all the same sickness."

Zhu Qiyu was in a very good mood.

Let me show you my jokes.

This time, I will punish your sons, everyone has unfilial children, and it will be evened.

"If you don't cut jade, you can't make a weapon."

"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles."

"When the factory guards finish the review, let them go to the construction site to experience."

"It just so happens that the Baiwang Mansion will continue to be built, and the new city outside the city will also be built, so let them go as laborers and work for a year or two, and they will be honest."

Zhu Qiyu said lightly.

The courtiers suddenly felt ridiculous, their children and grandchildren grew up with golden keys, but they had to go to the construction site to work as coolies, is this education? Is this punishment?

"Your Majesty's care for the officials and their families is a blessing to the world!"

Hu Hu immediately said: "The old minister heard that the eternal godson over there, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the punishment is not to give priority to corporal punishment, but to force the heirs to be diligent. ”

"A gentleman is diligent in small things, and he can do it."

"It is to teach children by labor, and it is not the same."

"It's just Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if there is a punishment, there will be a reward, and those who work well can be allowed to return to the country to study in the prison and lecture in the martial arts hall for a day."

Zhu Qiyu bowed: "The old lady has the essence of education, otherwise how could she teach two excellent sons!" ”

Why doesn't it sound like a good word?

"Bring it on!"

Two eunuchs came in with two trays.

Then it was unfolded by two eunuchs.

It is two down jackets.

The outer lining is a red python suit, with a layer of down lining inside.

"This is a new style of clothing developed by the Royal Merchant House, and I have given it the name of the down jacket."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "This is made of goose down, and it won't feel cold when you wear it on a cold day, it's very warm." ”

The courtiers looked greedy.

However, python clothing can only be worn by emperors and kings.

Courtiers are not allowed to wear python suits, even at the court meeting, they are not allowed to wear python suits! (Civil officials wear pythons to obey Hongji 16 years ago)

"Since ancient times, no one has worn python clothes!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up: "But I want to change it, those who have made great contributions to the country can be given python clothes!" You can wear a python costume to go to court! This is a gift! ”

Wow!

The courtiers were in an uproar, and the emperor wanted to improve the status of the courtiers.

It is also declining in the status of kings.

Taizu built feudal domains in various places and gave the vassal king great power.

Starting from Emperor Taizong, successive emperors were obsessed with cutting the domain, and finally in the hands of Emperor Jingtai, the situation of the external seal of the vassal king was ended.

But!

Even in the capital, the status of the vassal king is extremely high.

was a worm in front of the emperor, and when he went out, even Yu Qian and Hu Hu had to retreat.

Gain could tell from his clothes who was the king and who was the minister.

The emperor used his vassal power to mix the royal power, reducing the royal power while increasing the vassal power.

"Your Majesty, give the courtiers python clothes, I'm afraid it's unreasonable!" Wang Hong objected, and he couldn't get it anyway.

According to the emperor's standards, I am afraid that only Yu Qian can get one.

"The ancestral system didn't say that it is not allowed to give hundreds of officials python clothes?"

"It's a gift!"

"Those who wear python clothes without edict will punish the nine clans!"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The dragon robe I wear is respected by the nine dragons and five claws, and the prince is four claws, which is an ancient system. ”

"From now on, the prince will be changed to eight dragons and four claws."

"The king of the county has been changed to seven dragons and four claws."

"Generals and below are not allowed to wear python robes!"

"And the courtiers, the royal python costume is six dragons and four claws, and the county king costume can wear the seven dragons and four claws suit!"

The emperor further weakened the royal power and limited the power of his subjects.

In the past, the prince could wear the four claws of the Nine Dragons, and the four-clawed dragon was called a python, so it was called a python suit.

After the reform, only the emperor could wear the clothes of the nine dragons.

and strengthened the imperial power.

When the courtiers took a look, they found that there were indeed only six dragons in this python suit.

"Those who have made great contributions to the country should be given python clothes!"

Zhu Qiyu was serious: "This first python suit in the Ming Dynasty should be given to the person who has the greatest respect for the Daming Dynasty!" ”

"Yu Qian!"

It's not a good taste to be a bird.

Yu Qian knelt on the ground, wanting to be low-key, but his strength did not allow me to be low-key.

"Bestow!"

Zhu Qiyu bypassed the dragon case and stood on top of His Majesty Dan: "The first courtier of the Ming Dynasty to wear a python costume should be you Yu Qian!" ”

"When the history books are brilliant, they will be praised by future generations!"

"Grace to the apse to change clothes!"

Wear it, huh?

Yu Qian hurriedly kowtowed: "Weichen thank Your Majesty for your grace, Weichen will do his best for Daming and die." ”

Two python suits, one for Yu Qian.

The other one should be given to Hu Hui, right?

Hu Hui also wants to wear a python suit and enjoy it.

But after waiting for a long time, the emperor had nothing to say.

I can't help but feel disappointed.

"This second python suit!"

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a long time before he spoke.

Let you Hu Hu dare to disturb me last night?

Want to make a career for the literati?

You're my dog, shouldn't you help someone bite me?

"The grace of the old lady's support, the ability to stabilize the court situation, and sleep for the government and government, without trying to reciprocate, such as Zhuge Wuhou is alive."

Zhu Qiyu said: "This second python suit will be given to Hu Hu!" ”

Hu Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

Kowtow thanksgiving.

"In the future, those who have made great contributions to the country, those who have opened up the territory for the country, those who have done their best for the government, and those who have made outstanding contributions to the situation of the court!"

"You can rely on merit to give python clothes!"

"You can wear a python costume to go to court!"

When the decree is handed down, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the world.

Python suit, no matter what, is also to enhance the power of the subject.

Yu Qian changed into a python suit and came in, dressed in red, the golden dragon floated on the clothes, kowtowed again and bowed to thanks: "Your Majesty, this python suit is very warm, what kind of material is it made of?" ”

"Goose down."

Zhu Qiyu is quite satisfied with Qian, and he didn't get involved with the civil officials last night, which shows that he regards himself as a noble.

Therefore, today I specially gave the first python costume worn by the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Qian sniffed: "Weichen didn't smell the smell of white goose feathers?" ”

"This is the method developed by the Royal Comptoir."

"I thought about it for a long time, and I thought of wearing a down jacket to protect against the cold weather of the desert arctic."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Xing Guogong, you tell Zhu Qing, wearing this down jacket, can you go to Saibei to survive?" ”

Yu Qian understood, and the emperor used this down jacket to solve the problem of dressing.

"Wechen just wore it for a while, and he felt warm all over, like a baking stove." Yu Qian felt warm.

Hu Hu changed into a python suit and came out, and he also felt extremely stuffy.

But more than that, glory!

He went through five dynasties, and when he was old, he became a secretary of the ministry and a heavenly official.

was given a python suit again, and this life is worth it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that by promoting this thing, I will be able to rule Mobei!" Hu Hui understood the emperor's thoughts.

Use python suits to promote down jackets.

Inflate the value of down jackets.

Let the businessmen do the down jacket business, first, to increase the breeding of ducks and white geese, and provide meat;

Second, it can reduce the cost of down jackets and accelerate the promotion of down jackets in the private sector.

"The Ming Dynasty ruled Mobei, and there were three problems."

"First, the grain problem will be solved with the three treasures of corn in hand."

"Second, heating, now with coal, the heating problem should not be a big problem."

"The third is to dress and keep warm, in the past, cotton was needed, and the price of cotton was high, and ordinary people could not afford it."

"Especially farther north, padded jackets can't better protect against the cold, but this down jacket can."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I have asked the royal firm to make more than a dozen down jackets and give them to Li Xian, Shang Lu, Yuan Jie, Kou Shen, Yu Shan, Liu Guangheng, as well as Shenying, Fang Neng, Fan Sheng, Fan Jiong, Tao Jin, Gu Rong, Niu Zhen and other famous ministers and generals who guard the border generals. ”

"They are guarding the frontier, and it is very hard, and this year is definitely not good."

"My reward is lighter than a feather, but heavier than Mount Tai."

Zhu Qiyu can really boast.

Look at the courtier's eyes.

"You also have it, Jingshi doesn't need too thick down jackets, the royal merchant has prepared one for the important ministers, and I will give it later."

The emperor used a down jacket and gagged everyone.

Beware of hundreds of officials helping the literati to intercede.

When Hu Hu came to his mouth, he could only swallow it back.

"Zhuqing, let's talk about the problem of governance."

Back to business, Zhu Qiyu muttered: "Last year, I added a lot of new departments and placed them under various ministries, but some of them were contrary to the functional departments of various ministries. ”

"I see, the merger that should be merged and the streamlining of the administration of officials is the right thing."

This matter has been discussed for a long time.

The emperor wanted to add one, but the courtiers thought that it would cause bloated functions and would not be beneficial to the rule of officials, and imitated the redundant officials of the Song Dynasty.

"Six ministries, I want to act as a ministry-department-bureau-section."

"The Department of Officials proposed separately to set up a Division, instead of setting up a Division of Officials under all six departments."

"The functions of the six ministries are completely clearly demarcated, and they cooperate and contain each other."

"What do you think?"

Zhu Qiyu's voice fell.

was opposed by the ministers: "Your Majesty, although the six departments of the Qing Officials Division, although they are the same name, their functions are completely different, and they are proposed separately, how to establish a new department?" ”

"Let's talk about the Ministry of Officials, the four divisions of the Officials, the Anthology, the Examination of Merit, the Inspection of the Seal, and the Honor."

"The Cleaner Division is just a suffix."

The emperor wanted to weaken the power of the six ministries and take power from the cabinet and the military aircraft.

Increase imperial power in disguise.

"There's no need for a name fight."

Zhu Qiyu said: "What I mean is to streamline the organization and improve administrative efficiency. ”

The courtiers chewed, and reforming the rule of officials was related to the interests of all parties.

It's easy to set up, but it's hard to dismantle.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is more reasonable to set up a department-department-bureau-section."

Hu Hui pondered: "Because each ministry has a department department, and each section is located under the department, so the old minister thinks that the department should be higher than the bureau. ”

Ministries, departments, departments, bureaus, and sections, five levels of administration, and one more level of personnel.

Administrative costs have increased.

"The division and bureau are enough, why add an extra hall?"

Wang Fu believed: "The hall can be independent of the outside, in the loose rule of the dynasty, set up a hall, directly managed by the center. ”

This is the use of the hall, replacing the command division.

There are many difficulties in reforming the rule of officials.

"I also believe that setting up more departments will create a situation of redundant officials."

Zhu Qiyu pondered: "The secretary office is in charge of the paperwork, and it is only nine products, and it is completely unnecessary to mention the bureau." ”

"In this way, let's set up a department-department-bureau-section first, and set up the hall in the locality."

"The chief officer of each division is concurrently served by the right attendant, and it is still the third grade."

"There is a bureau under the division, and the head of the bureau is Langzhong, who is still the fifth product."

"There is a section under the bureau, and the chief officer of the section is a foreigner, and he is still from the fifth grade."

Change the soup without changing the medicine.

Hu Hui objected: "Your Majesty, the right attendant is concurrently the chief officer of the department, which is too extravagant, and the chief officer of the Qing Officials Department of each ministry is just Langzhong. ”

"The original department remains unchanged, and the newly established division is concurrently served by the right attendant."

"Appropriate mergers, dissipations."

Zhu Qiyu is also thoughtful.

"Your Majesty is very worried, but the number of right attendants will increase by a lot, and the administrative expenses will increase again." Wang Fu proposed.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you select more capable officials."

Zhu Qiyu continued:

"I think that the warehouse of the household department is at the bureau level, and there is a storage bureau that governs all warehouses."

"And the original lifting division, banknote bureau, and banknote printing bureau are actually useless, so they should be simply dismissed."

The treasure money can no longer be issued.

It's useless to stay.

Geng Jiuchou's face turned bitter, this is the power of the Ministry of Household Cutting.

"Your Majesty, warehousing is extremely important, and it is difficult to set up a bureau to get through all the warehousing, so simply set up a warehousing department and all the warehousing in the household department." Wang Fu proposed.

Zhu Qiyu bowed: "There is a warehousing department, and the right waiter is also the chief officer of the warehousing department." ”

The courtiers had no objection to this.

"Your Majesty, what should I do with the silver money?" Geng Jiuchou said.

"There are separate silver and money promotion divisions, commercial promotion divisions, agricultural promotion divisions, water control promotion divisions, medical promotion divisions, education promotion divisions, and zonglu divisions."

In one breath, there are seven lifting divisions alone.

"Your Majesty, how many more officials will this have?"

Hu Hui was the first to object: "The original medical bureau is sufficient, and the silver, commerce, and agriculture can be entered into the department, and there is no need to set up a separate department." ”

"The Department of Water Control, the Department of Education, and the Department of Zonglu are needed, but the official position of the chief official cannot be too high, and the court cannot support the expenses."

"Just try to keep the organization as simple as possible and improve efficiency."

The courtiers also thought so.

The emperor was too ruthless, and set up seven divisions in one go.

How many divisions are there in total?

"You can't enter the house."

"I plan to change silver ingots to silver coins, and the silver coin lifting department will have a separate division."

"The Department of Commerce must be set up, one is to manage businessmen, and the other is to collect taxes, and the money in the palace will also belong to the Department of Commerce."

"The Department of Agriculture is the foundation of the country, the Agricultural Bureau is not enough, and the Department of Agriculture is needed to promote the three treasures of corn in the future."

"According to what I mean, the Department of Medicine will first set up an empty shelf, or the configuration of the original bureau, just called the department, and the official position should remain the same, but the hospital is located under the Department of Medicine."

"Put Huimin Pharmacy separately."

"If you set up another medical hall, you can put forward the study hall inside Yuantai Hospital."

"The Department of Medicine can also set up a bookstore to organize, compile and promote medical books."

Zhu Qiyu thinks it is necessary.

The distribution bureau is still located under the Ministry of Officials.

Seven separate divisions have to be divided in detail.

"Your Majesty, how many more officials will this have?"

Yao Kui smiled bitterly: "The center is set up, but is the place set up?" ”

"Localities set up as appropriate, such as the Water Control Department, where water control is needed, set up a water control department, and after water control, it will be downgraded to a water control bureau to maintain the waterway."

I am afraid that more officials will be recruited when I hear this.

Moreover, these officials cannot be abolished.

"Your Majesty will never do it!"

Hu Hu knelt on the ground: "According to your calculations, the number of officials in the DPRK and China will be doubled!" How's that going to work? ”

"First, the government of the country cannot afford the expenses of so many people."

"The second is that the civil officials, named officials, are actually local tyrants, and Your Majesty has more officials, just a few more tigers to bite the people!"

"Officials should be streamlined, not more!"

"Da Ming has many all-rounders, one division is multi-purpose, and it is right."

The courtiers all agreed with Hu Hui's words.

"Officials are like sitting on a coward, and I know it."

Zhu Qiyu pondered: "In the future, I plan not to set up officials. ”

"The officials are also paid by the court, and the officials also enter the assessment and can be promoted."

"We must not let the officials grow big in the localities."

As soon as these words came out, the courtier smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, where does the money come from?" Where did he come from? ”

The emperor is in charge of killing or burying.

"It's all an afterthought, which step to see in the future."

If you want to be rich, you have to open the sea.

The main source of the Yongle Dynasty's military spending was money from the sea.

The maritime merchants were all so rich that they killed them all, and the money came.

"Your Majesty expands the territory and wants to build more provinces, which already requires a large number of officials, and if the restrictions on officials are also relaxed, the center is afraid that it will not be able to support it."

Hu Hui's words resonated.

Although the emperor robbed a lot of money, the money was really unspent, and it was estimated that it would soon bottom out.

There is a plus today! It's even more important when it's done!
