You can call us directly!

Hu Hui, Yao Kui and others hung their heads and were silent.

"Zhuqing, Chen Tai offers a treasure, and I give it the name cement, which can be used to fill the joints of the wall tiles, which is stronger than the soil; It can also be used to strengthen exterior walls, for city defense, and for building houses. ”

"I've already asked people to build a wall, so you can go and see it when you leave the palace."

"Chen Tai has a talent for architecture, and I want to promote him to the Ministry of Engineering as a right waiter."

The courtiers were interested in this cement.

Last time, Chen Tai also offered a new type of cement, but the emperor thought that it was not strong enough and the cost was too high, so he continued to study it.

It's only been more than half a year, and the new cement is offered.

Listening to the emperor's meaning, I was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, Chen Tai has merit, but the matter of promotion cannot be promoted because of merit."

Hu Hui said seriously: "It is undeniable that some officials have the ability to create in a flash of inspiration, but the essence of officials is to be diligent, seek benefits for the country, and do their own work conscientiously. ”

"If you blindly pursue strange and skillful skills, who will want to do things in a down-to-earth manner in the future?"

Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Old lady, that Chen Tai's merit should be promoted." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Hu Hu got up and knelt on the ground: "Since the establishment of the dynasty, there has been a system. The promotion and demotion of talents are all operated by the system itself, so the country is stable and stable, and all kinds of talents emerge in an endless stream, and the country and the dynasty are inexhaustible. ”

"If Your Majesty makes an exception to promote the talents of strange and obscene skills, the officials of the world will swarm to study the strange and skillful skills like flies chasing stinky flies."

"So where does the talent for statecraft come from? What about the talent in command? What about the talents of supervising grain, water control, agriculture, and planning? ”

"These talents, because of His Majesty's preference, will gradually decline, and eventually all disappear, all of them have become talents of strange and skillful skills, how will Your Majesty use them at that time?"

"Your Majesty!"

"The old minister is not against His Majesty's pursuit of strange and skillful skills, but he can't abandon his roots and chase the end, but he must stop in moderation."

"No matter how good Chen Taiqi's obscene skills are, he can't escape the essence of the court, officials are promoted and degraded, and they have their own system, which cannot be destroyed!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Hu Hu kowtowed.

What he meant was that the emperor could not promote courtiers at will.

Thinking deeper, this is the process of putting the emperor in a cage.

Imperial power lies in the fact that the emperor does what he wants, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

But it is not the power of the ministers who restricts the imperial power, let alone the general public!

It's the system! It's the ancestral system! It's a rule!

In the past, the emperor broke the shackles and used the imperial power to do whatever he wanted.

But as Zhu Qiyu became sensible, he was gradually bound by the rules.

After all, Zhu Qiyu needs hundreds of officials in the world to govern the country for him, so he can't do everything by himself, right?

At this time, the courtiers will use the ancestral system, the system, and the rules to restrict the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu let it go and voluntarily gave up the arbitrariness of imperial power, which was deliberately restrained, so he got along well with the courtiers and worked together to govern the Ming Dynasty.

However.

Courtiers have to make inches.

Hu Hu was putting Zhu Qiyu in the cage.

Don't look at Zhu Qiyu's teeth and claws, but if he really collides with Hu Hu, he may not be able to win all.

It is indeed possible to win.

But he can't win all, Hu Hu's health is not good, and if he dies, his plan to clean up Nanzhili will be difficult to carry out.

He needs Hu Hui to help him stabilize the court, but Hu Hu doesn't need him Zhu Qiyu.

Hu Hui's political demands are not eternal, but doing what Sanyang has done, or in other words, every important minister standing in the court is doing the same thing as Sanyang.

Do your best to put the emperor in a cage.

Zhu Qiyu sometimes wonders, is it different if you change the courtiers?

However, can he make the courtiers not kneel when they see the king?

Will he be able to hand over the imperial power?

Can he let Wenchen control the world and let the generals bow to Wenchen?

No!

He will not allow it, and he will not allow it.

Then, whoever is the first assistant and who is the important minister of the cabinet will not have the same heart as the emperor.

Unless he reuses traitorous ministers, those who are incapable, but must be dependent on the imperial power to be in high positions, these people will be willing to be the emperor's lackeys.

The problem is that he hopes that the Ming Dynasty will become better, that the people will live a prosperous life sooner, and that the Ming Dynasty will continue to be prosperous.

With mediocre ministers and traitorous ministers, the good situation collapsed in an instant.

Da Ming will immediately return to the track of history.

The courtiers are incapable, what's the use of the emperor tearing his heart?

All the rule of Zhongxing is the emperor's virtuous name, the courtiers are superb, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, so as to form the prosperous era of governance.

Zhu Qiyu must use capable ministers and virtuous ministers.

And if you want to use capable ministers and virtuous ministers, you have to endure their political demands, and you have to fight with them.

"The old lady said this very much, I listened to it."

Zhu Qiyu chose to back down.

Perhaps, when he is old and faint, he will use traitors to stabilize the court.

After all, chatting with Xianchen, he is very uncomfortable, if he is not rational, he will simply kill everything, Daming will return to the original track, and it will be good for him to be a faint king.

Hu Hu said: "Your Majesty is like a stream, like Tang Taizong is alive." ”

"The old minister still has a few clichés, please let the old minister finish speaking."

Zhu Qiyu asked him to speak.

"Your Majesty thinks that the ancestral system is rotten, and it is not to follow the ancestral system."

"But Your Majesty knows that the Ming Dynasty can survive a hundred years smoothly, relying on the ancestral system."

"Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has had many twists and turns, but the throne has been successfully inherited, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the country has been extended."

Hu Hu is talking about Emperor Jianwen's reduction of the domain, Taizong's martyrdom, the defeat of Tumubao, the change of seizing the gate and other coups.

"Lao Chen doesn't dare to say that the ancestral system is right."

"But Your Majesty controls the world, relying on the ancestral system!"

The ancestral system is the ideology, social outlook, outlook on life, values, world outlook, and cultural outlook.

The emperor enjoyed the dividends of the ancestral system.

But kicking the ancestral system away, this is immoral.

"With His Majesty's ability, the ancestral system can be filled and the ancestral system can be amended, but the ancestral system must not be abandoned!"

"Without the ancestral system, how can the subjects of the world follow the rules?"

"Without rules, the country will not be a country!"

Hu Hu said seriously.

is the current governing system, which is the same as the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty used Confucianism and Emperor Taizu's outlook on life to construct the ancestral worldview.

In the era of the Ming Dynasty, it is the most advanced and effective way to manage the world.

In other words, people have limitations, and no theoretical system is advanced and correct, and in the final analysis, it depends on how to use it.

But think on a deeper level.

Hu Hu wanted the emperor to make his own rules and regulations, and then put himself into them.

This is Hu Hui's brilliance.

The emperor knew that it was a pit, but he didn't know how to get through.

"There are no rules."

"Your Majesty destroys the ancestral system, if there is no new ancestral system formed, how can the kings of later generations and the ministers of the world find a theoretical basis?"

"And the people of the world, what do they rely on? How do officials govern the country? ”

Hu Hu has to inch in.

Blatantly restricting the emperor with rules.

Zhu Qiyu can be the maker of rules, but he must also be restricted by rules.

As long as the emperor does things, sooner or later he will be restricted.

This is the genius of civil servants.

Civil officials are more patient than emperors, and when a civil official falls, thousands of civil officials will stand up.

If you change to a dumb king, you can not listen.

However, Zhu Qiyu can't take governing the country as a child's play.

There are two paths in front of Zhu Qiyu, pinch your nose and recognize it, or continue to do your own thing.

But the problem of the latter will make the courtiers deviate from morality, and there will be problems with the centripetal force, which will affect the whole body, and problems will occur all over the country.

Before, Zhu Qiyu was fierce to kill this and that?

In the blink of an eye, the civil official taught him a lesson, gave him a resounding slap in the face, and told you: Emperor, you can't go on like this willfulness anymore!

"Old lady."

"The ancestral system is indeed very important, and the Ming Dynasty has today, all of which are the work of the ancestral system."

"I can inherit the throne and inherit the unification, and it also depends on the ancestral system."

Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "However, the ancestral system also needs to adapt to the times, I can fill the ancestral system, take the essence and remove the bad, and then improve the ancestral system." ”

Hu Hui's face changed slightly.

The reason why civil officials can control the discourse of the ancestral system is because the emperor who formulated the ancestral system died, and most of the kings of later generations were unwilling to study.

And a large number of civil officials studied the ancestral system every day, read the ancestral system thoroughly, found loopholes in the ancestral system, set up a trap for the emperor, took the emperor into the ditch, and finally used the ancestral system to trap the emperor to death.

But what did Zhu Qiyu say?

He wants to give the king of future generations the right to change and control the ancestral system.

In this way, the arms of civil officials were cut off by Zhu Qiyu.

It became a fantasy for civil officials to use the ancestral system to control the emperor.

"Your Majesty, if the ancestral system changes frequently, how can it still be called the ancestral system?" Hu Hui will never allow it, and the right to interpret and change the ancestral system is in the hands of the emperor.

The courtiers who were originally pretending to be dead are all against it at the moment.

This is the power of the civil officials.

Civil officials relied on the study of the ancestral system to limit the imperial power.

The emperor controlled the imperial power by breaking through the ancestral system.

Hold each other hostage.

"It can't be changed frequently, but some ancestral systems, such as the ancestral system in the Hongwu period, are difficult to maintain in the Yongle Dynasty."

"Let's just say that this opening of the Chinese law has taken more than 100 years to survive, and it is completely declining."

"If it continues to be used, it will be a move that harms the country and the people."

Zhu Qiyu is secretly changing concepts.

The ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty must be wrong?

In fact, the principles in the world are all the same, it is nothing more than a change of words, the essence is the same, to maintain the rule!

Different times have different new ideas, and in the final analysis, they are all about maintaining the rule.

In fact, modern people, like the ancients, are studying the ancestral system.

Don't wait for Hu Hu to object.

Zhu Qiyu said: "What I mean is that since I started, each emperor can fill, enrich, and change the ancestral system as appropriate on the basis of the previous emperor. ”

"The monarch of later generations can delete and modify it as appropriate, and add the governing theory of the times."

"It's better to set up a bureau and hang it in the twelve prisons."

Isn't this the theory of a certain new era?

The more you talk about it, the more unpleasant it becomes!

This is using eunuchs to steal the power of civil officials!

You put the Ancestral Theory Bureau in the inner prison, the eunuchs write it casually, and the emperor does it, so what about the civil officials? To be a dog for a eunuch?

"Your Majesty, how do eunuchs know how to govern the country?" Yao Kui exclaimed.

"I didn't say let the eunuchs rule the country? It is just that if a department is set up, it is natural to recruit learned people from all over the world to discuss the theory of governing the country. ”

Zhu Qiyu did it on purpose.

He is diverting his attention, using the contradiction between civil officials and eunuchs to divert the essential issue.

"Your Majesty, the old minister still thinks that the ancestral system cannot be changed!" Hu Hu is not easy to fool.

Zhu Qiyu snorted.

The right to interpret the ancestral system must be in the hands of the emperor.

This is the foundation of imperial power!

If civil officials can steal the imperial power, they have the right to interpret the ancestral system.

It is equivalent to saying that Emperor Taizu formulated the constitution, but the right to interpret the constitution is in the hands of civil officials, and civil officials are the best at playing word games, explaining and explaining, and the emperor is interpreted as a pig.

The emperor, who was really disobedient, was dissolved in water.

The problem is that after the death of the emperor, no one has done justice for the emperor, because the emperor himself is unjust and deserves to die, anyway, there are many pigs, and there is nothing wrong with changing a pig to be the emperor.

And Zhu Qiyu just wants to take back the right to interpret the ancestral system.

As long as the monarch of later generations does not appear as a young emperor, the imperial power will not decline too much.

"I won't talk about it today."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The old lady said that Chen Tai couldn't be promoted, so I listened to it, but Chen Tai wants to be transferred to the Ministry of Industry, so let's adjust it, and I will give him a bronze talisman." ”

He is throwing bricks and leading the way today, and if he wants to completely get the right to interpret the ancestral system, it will take a long time to play.

Anyway, this is to pave the way for his son, and he is not in a hurry now, and he will slowly seize power.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Hu Hui's mouth was bitter.

He was a little anxious, because of his health, he was worried that the civil servants would not see the future.

So urgently to claim power from the emperor.

If the emperor goes mad and kills him, he will be happy.

Because that kind of emperor didn't grow up.

Still a child.

When Li Xian ascends to the throne, he can still curb the imperial power.

After Zhu Qiyu's death, the imperial power still fell apart, and the civil officials still took power.

The problem is that the emperor has matured and knows how to fight back against his courtiers within the framework and solve problems by political means.

This frightened Hu Hui.

An emperor who can play politics and hold imperial power in his hands, if he does not die young, his courtiers will be tamed into dogs sooner or later.

But today's emperor insists on exercising, quitting drinking, although he pounces on the government, but he is far less diligent than Emperor Taizu, he pays attention to diet and rest, and often asks the imperial doctor to consult, and the small supplements are continuous.

Such an emperor shows the sign of longevity!

Why did you die young?

Could it only be that he could dissolve in water?

Hu Hui's eyes were full of helplessness.

"Zhuqing, cement is a strategic material, and the city wall rammed with cement can more effectively resist arrows and firearms."

"At the same time, it is also suitable for building houses and repairing roads."

"I want to order Chen Tai to make cement on a large scale, build a castle outside the fortress, and guard the border for the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu was still immersed in the joy of getting cement.

Chen Tai's improved cement is not modern cement, but an evolved version of earth cement, which cannot be used to build buildings.

Improvements are needed, and he is looking forward to seeing the day when concrete appears.

"Your Majesty's heart is for the blessing of all people." The courtiers bowed.

"A few days ago, Xue Xuan wrote that the trees in Guangxi are about to be cut down, and by the end of this year, there will be no large-scale primeval forests in Guangxi."

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing: "This is a good thing, it means that Guangxi is one step closer to becoming a Han land." ”

"Just move hundreds of thousands of Han people over."

"In a few years, Guangxi will be completely Han land."

"At the same time, it also shows that the prosperity of the civil timber trade, countless trees in Guangxi, transported to the north, and the north to build cities and houses, there is no shortage of materials."

"I have issued an order to Xue Yuan to cut down all the trees in Guangdong."

"Yunnan and Guizhou should also be cut down."

Cutting down trees also requires repairing roads and transporting trees out, as well as repairing rivers and transporting trees north.

As long as the road is open and the trees are gone, what will those toasts do to resist the Great Tomorrow soldiers?

It's still toast that cuts down trees.

Driven by interests, Yungui Tusi took the initiative to cut down trees, and competed with Guangxi merchants to do business, and transported Yungui's trees to the north.

In a few years, when the trees in Yunnan and Guizhou are cut down, the moat will become a thoroughfare.

When the time comes, the heavenly soldiers will kill a group of natives, move a group out, and then move in a large number of Han people, and it will become a Han land.

"Your Majesty!"

Sun Yuanzhen said: "Rehe, Ningxia and other places are temporarily unable to grow grain. ”

"Corn sambo can't be popularized either."

"And groups of criminals have already lived in Rehe, do they need to transfer grain from all over the world all the time?"

"Caoyun is under a lot of pressure, Your Majesty."

This is a big problem.

Zhu Qiyu groaned: "Xue Qing, what do you think? ”

He looked at Xue Xilian.

Xue Xilian served as the first director of the Department of Agriculture, and he was still the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and he served as the chief official of the Agricultural Department with the respect of Zuo Shilang, which proved that the court attached great importance to the Agricultural Department.

He is engaged in the cultivation of potatoes and cross-breeding with rice seeds.

Hybrid rice, in fact, has been made since ancient times.

Last month, Wang Yue sent a batch of rice seeds from North Korea for hybridization.

If you want to grow grain in Mobei, rice and wheat seeds need to be drought tolerant.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Department of Agriculture has just been formed, and Wechen will form an Agricultural Research Institute according to what you said, and Wechen will serve as the first sacrificial wine."

"We also recruited a group of agricultural talents from the private sector to join the Department of Agriculture."

"We also recruit a group of children who are willing to work as farmers from the private sector to study in the college."

"The problem is that the formation time is still short, and I ask Your Majesty to give Weichen a little time."

Xue Xilian said: "Now Rehe is still under construction, and there is no need for a large amount of grain to eat. ”

"At the beginning of this year, generals such as Li Bing, Li Jin, and Mao Sheng attacked various departments in Mobei and captured a lot."

"For the time being, we can use grazing and seizures to meet the needs of the people."

"And Li Bing and Wang Shu both have the qualifications of famous ministers, and they have gone deep into the local area to select land suitable for planting."

"Weichen thought that in three to five years, Rehe would be able to plant the first batch of rice seeds."

"In 10 years, you will be able to reap the benefits."

"In twenty to thirty years, you will be self-sufficient."

Xue Xilian said that the time is still short.

It takes a lot of time to really grow a piece of land.

Therefore, all dynasties and dynasties are reluctant to engage in governance, especially the frontiers, because no matter how good the governance is, it cannot withstand a war.

The governance of the frontier was accompanied by large-scale wars and the migration of the Han people to the frontier, and the frontier was built.

"Your Majesty, what Xue Shilang said is very true."

"If you want to make Rehe self-sufficient, it will take at least 30 years."

Geng Jiuchou said: "Weichen thinks that we should dredge the river first, continue to extend the flow of the Cao Canal, and rely on the rice in the south to temporarily feed the Rehe. ”

"And Rehe is rich in cattle and sheep, and beef and mutton can be sold to the south."

"Each other complements each other."

Excluding transportation costs, feeding costs, death factors, etc., it is a complete loss of money for the north sheep to sell in the south.

"Dredging the river is also convenient for transporting materials, and the old minister thinks it can." Yao Kui supports.

Ma Ang said: "The center of gravity of the Ministry of Industry is on the construction of the city and the Yellow River, and there is a lack of manpower and material resources, even if you want to dredge it, you are powerless." ”

He muttered to himself, "If only there were enough slaves." ”

"Maang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yao Kui stopped him.

Slaves are easy to use, the problem is that these slaves are going to eat, where did Daming get so much food for them to eat?

Didn't you see that the emperor was worried because of the exiles?

More than 10 million displaced people, filling their stomachs is a big problem, and I hope that Daming will attract people?

Ma Ang saluted: "Yao Ge Lao, this construction worker, six copper coins for five days in Rehe, has to provide enough food." ”

"This grain is all transferred from Beijing, and the price of a pound of rice is about 10 copper plates."

One pound of rice in Jingshi is seven copper plates.

"Do the math of this account, how much money does the court have, enough to spend like this?" Maang is really worried about money.

"It is taken from the people, used for the people, and the people work to make money, as it should be."

Yao Kui said: "Don't slaves eat?" Isn't it ten copper plates and a pound of grain? What a waste to give them food! ”

"The people of the Ming Dynasty are still not full, why don't they give their own people enough to eat first?"

This is also true.

The problem is that if you really use slaves to build a city, it is not at this speed, that is, it will be used to death, and it will not provide enough food.

Slaves are certainly cheap.

But isn't infrastructure building relieving the pressure on the people? Find something to do for the people, let the people make some money, and when life is good, they will not rebel.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "What the two Qing families said is right, don't argue." ”

"The slave thing should also come little by little."

"It is my responsibility to feed the people, and I don't feel sorry for how much money I spend."

"Geng Qing is right, communicating with the Jingshi to go to the rivers of Rehe, Shanxi, and Ningxia is a serious matter, which is convenient for transportation and can also save costs."

"The Ministry of Works will build it at its discretion."

Ma Ang's face was bitter, and he knelt down and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

"When it comes to money, we have to talk about silver coins."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Xing Guogong is right, this silver coin was sold out when it was put on the market. ”

"Fortunately, the exchange ratio has been adjusted high enough, otherwise the reform of this silver coin will end without a problem."

"Jiangxi and Nanzhili have shipped a large amount of silver."

"The silver is being crushed day by day, and it can already be exchanged for Gyeonggi. I want to exchange in Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi provinces. ”

"When the next batch of silver arrives in Nanzhili, it will be exchanged in Nanzhili."

In Zhu Qiyu's hands, there are about 300 million taels of silver.

He is estimated to be the richest of the emperors.

But half of the silver has not yet arrived in Beijing.

According to the exchange rate, he would have 900 million taels of silver in his hand.

Zhu Qiyu's imperial power is stable, which has a lot to do with this money.

Moreover, this is not counting, the silver cleaned up in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces is also regarded as the assets of the court.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu's capital for the transformation of silver coins is based on strong capital.

He's really rich now.

"I expect that in the eleventh year of Jingtai, the whole country will completely use silver coins, and the monetary status of silver and copper coins will be abolished."

Gold has never been legal tender in Daming.

Hu Hu was suddenly tired, will the emperor with so much money dissolve in water?

The emperor's substitution of silver coins for silver ingots is also equivalent to grasping the world's money bags.

As long as the exchange is completed, the emperor will issue a holy decree to cancel the silver ingots as legal currency, so that the coinage power is in the hands of the emperor.

Governing the country is an economic account.

If the emperor has money in his hands, the throne will be particularly secure.

With the development of non-governmental commerce and trade, the people's lives will naturally be rich.

From top to bottom, it's a big cycle.

When the people live well, they will naturally not rebel, which is about the same as supporting the emperor.

The emperor will be able to do whatever he wants.

Emperor Taizu, why did he dare to kill the collapse of the court, but the Ming Dynasty did not move at all, there is a reason, that is, the emperor has the right to make money.

Treasure money, support the rule of Hongwu.

Maritime trade, support the rule of Yongle.

And with the abandonment of treasure money, the interruption of maritime trade, starting from Emperor Xuanzong, the imperial power began to shrink, to the orthodox emperor, the Ming family was gone, the emperor was so poor that his pocket was cleaner than his face, who would support the emperor?

Zhu Qiyu's reform of silver coins is to put the coinage power back in the hands of the emperor.

The abolition of the Treasure Banknote Division, the merger of the Silver Bureau, and the change to the Silver Supervision Bureau, improved the status of the coinage power, and also showed that the imperial power was unlimited.

Yu Qianke really helped the emperor a lot.

Adjust the exchange ratio to make the emperor earn a lot of money.

As long as the exchange ratio remains unchanged, the emperor can use a small amount of capital to leverage the national capital and take all the silver money in the country into his own hands.

In the future, whether it is silver coming in from overseas or silver mines obtained from plundering, it will be collected in the center and will become the emperor's money.

The emperor's money will never be spent.

Hu Hu found that silently, the emperor had become a behemoth.

It takes several generations of efforts to melt this behemoth, just like the collapse of the imperial power of the Yongle Dynasty, and also passed through the Hongxi Dynasty and the Xuande Dynasty, until the turning point of Tumubao, the imperial power completely collapsed.

But what made him happy was that the ancient dynasty of the Ming Dynasty was revived.

Take a look at the exchange speed of silver coins.

It shows the affluence of the people, and after the exchange, the wealth is accumulating in the center.

The emperor used this money to build Mobei, recover Jiaozhi, expand the territory, level the land, raise the land and support the people, and the Ming Dynasty prospered and became great again.

"Your Majesty, for the time being, it will be the first day of the first month of the twelfth year of Jingtai."

Yao Kui said: "The promulgation and issuance of the slave release order together can be regarded as double happiness." ”

Da Ming is about to rot wood, and he is very slow to do anything.

It is also necessary to give the landlord and the old money a time to adapt.

Zhu Qiyu did not object: "It's set in the twelfth year of Jingtai." ”

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu pondered and said: "Zhuqing, when it comes to the issue of returning homeless people, I plan to subsidize a sum of money to the homeless, what do you think?" ”

He was afraid of the rebellion of the displaced people.

Yao Kui's face changed: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!" ”

"The world does not suffer from few, but from inequality."

"Your Majesty subsidized the homeless, how can the people who survive in the world deal with themselves? Do you think that the treatment of the displaced people is better than that of yourself, and they also go to be a displaced person? ”

"Your Majesty's love for the people is good, but don't underestimate the evil of human nature!"

This elicited the consent of the courtiers.

Human nature is evil, and people's hearts are profitable.

If being a homeless person can make money, all the people in the world will abandon the famine.

Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, you have given tax exemption to the northern provinces, and given them money to buy coal. ”

"But what will the people of the South think?"

"Since the Hongwu Dynasty, it has been bridging the division between the north and the south, so that the north and the south have become a family in the Central Plains."

"And Your Majesty's move is dividing the north and the south."

This is no joke.

Since the Southern Song Dynasty, the north and the south have been completely divided and ruled incompatible.

The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty also gave the northerners a vicious title, called "Reformers", which completely divided the Central People. Chinese. People. Tribe.

After experiencing the rule of the Meng Yuan, people were divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the north and the south were no longer one.

Until Emperor Taizu recreated China and established the Ming Dynasty, the north and south were unified.

Especially the sixteen states of Yanyun have been separated from the embrace of the motherland for hundreds of years!

Between each other, even the vernacular pronunciation is different, and even the text has deviated, and there is a serious sense of disagreement with history.

Therefore, since the beginning of the Hongwu Dynasty, Emperor Taizu has been constantly bridging the harm of the division between the north and the south, and has repeatedly told the people of the world that the north and the south are one family, and they are all Chinese.

Mentioning this, Yu Zijun knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, what Ma Siqing said is very true, the division between the north and the south will do great harm to our Huaxia, and the people must not be able to have a sense of separation between the south and the north." ”

"Ma Qing is right, I owe it to consideration."

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to the north, so that the north was stabilized and did not split again.

"The center also gives the southern provinces, and the people are exempted from corresponding taxes, called coal compensation, and the people of the world have it, regardless of the north and the south."

With a wave of Zhu Qiyu's hand, he will spend a huge amount of silver.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhu Qiyu asked them to get up: "The division of the north and the south is the pot of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Yellow River is also the pot of the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

"But I want to take it as the right one!"

"I look at Liaojin, which one is not better than the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"Then the Khitan and Jurchen, aren't they also sinicized into Han people? Who can tell the difference these days? ”

"At the same time, the Chinese people, why do they regard the Southern Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo?"

The issue of Zhengshuo is too sensitive.

The emperor complained a few words, and no one else dared to say anything.

When Kublai Khan built the Great Yuan, he regarded the Southern Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo, and the Ming Chengyuan system naturally had to serve the Southern Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo.

Besides, although Liaojin is seriously sinicized, it is still a foreign race after all.

No matter how bad the Southern Song Dynasty is, it is also my own clan.

"Hmph, the sins created by the Southern Song Dynasty are so unfair that I can pay them back!"

Zhu Qiyu was a little angry: "Zhuqing, I want to build a temple for the emperors of all dynasties, and then build a temple of literature and a temple of martial arts. ”

"The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, I don't put any of them in it, and the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, except for Zhao Kuangyin, I don't want to put any of them."

When the courtiers heard this, the emperor was capricious again.

But.

Rebuilding the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts is a good opportunity.

Emperor Taizu abolished the Wu Temple and dedicated the Temple of Literature to the Taimiao.

This is the ultimate reduction of the power of the ministers, so that the glorious civil and military generals in history have become the emperor's vassals and the emperor's lackeys.

At the same time, Emperor Taizu was doing his best to limit the power of the army, reduce the status of the generals to the extreme, and make the generals become the emperor's eagle claws.

Nearly a hundred years later.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to rebuild the Temple of Literature, the Temple of Wu, and build a new temple of the emperor.

That's a good thing.

"I thought that you would say, this is against the ancestral system?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

The courtier's face changed, and he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, when will the ministers advise Your Majesty with the ancestral system?" ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed.

Emperor Taizu's meaning was very clear, to suppress the power of his subjects to the extreme.

Zhu Qiyu also understands, but if he wants to take back the right to interpret the ancestral system, he has to give benefits to the civil officials first.

When the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts are built, he has the right to move whoever comes in and who he moves out.

In this way, the courtiers have the power to interpret the emperor's ancestral system, and the emperor has the power of the courtiers to enter the temple.

"Your Majesty, do you want to inherit the Yuan system, or re-approve the civil and military candidates?"

Hu asked the key question.

If the emperor chooses the candidate of history, then the power of the subjects is controlled by the emperor.

In the future, whoever wants to enter the Temple of Literature and Wumiao must obtain the emperor's consent.

"Naturally, it will be re-approved, and some people are not worthy of entering the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts." Zhu Qiyu didn't target anyone, it was the Southern Song Dynasty.

Hu Hu's face froze.

Sure enough, everything the emperor did had deep meaning.

"I don't plan to follow the rules and directly hire the list of the previous dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu pondered: "I want to use a new list, and I don't need the rules of ten philosophers and seventy-two generals, as long as I set a standard, and all the civil and military generals who meet the standards are worthy of sacrifice." ”

In the history of China, there are too many famous generals.

There are not only seventy-two generals, but there are too many prominent figures in all dynasties and generations.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to include all these people.

When Hu Hui heard it, if he followed the standard, he Hu Hu would also have a chance to enter.

So how many of the courtiers standing in the Heart Cultivation Hall are qualified to enter?

The emperor's move completely mobilized the enthusiasm of the courtiers.

"Your Majesty, can't you sacrifice too many people?"

Although Yao Kui also wanted to enter the Temple of Literature, he knew that he was not capable enough and his political achievements were insufficient.

Entering the Temple of Literature has lowered the level of the Temple of Literature.

He is self-aware.

"That's natural."

"Not just any famous general and minister can enter the temple."

Zhu Qiyu said: "So we have to formulate a standard." ”

Bai Gui smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, according to Han Xin's standards, how many people can enter the Martial Temple?" ”

"That's the matter of waiting, re-approving the merits of the list of dynasties and dynasties, and picking out a standard according to the merits."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Seventy-two places are too few. ”

"In this way, I plan to build four halls, one hall will put thirty-six people, and four halls will be one hundred and forty-four people."

"The Wenwu Temple is put together, a total of eight halls are built, and another hall is built in the middle, which is a temple and is dedicated to Confucian saints and other saints."

"But there are still empty seats, I hope that there will be a few people in this dynasty!"

This is Zhu Qiyu's hook.

A hook to make courtiers obedient.

It is equivalent to saying that a part of these 144 places must be set aside for future generations, and they cannot be filled casually, and the merit must be high enough.

But it can't be too high, all use Han Xin as the standard, how many can get in?

There are a total of nine halls, one hall of saints, four halls of the Temple of Literature, and four halls of the Wu Temple.

"The Temple of Literature also has 144 places."

Zhu Qiyu separated the civil and military forces, and the Confucian Temple also enjoyed sacrifices alone.

In this way, a person like Zhuge Liang is considered a martial artist?

"Your Majesty, a famous general of the Yuan Dynasty, is it counted?" Baekyu asked a very stupid question.

"Ming Chengyuan system, and the Mongolian people are also of Chinese Miao descent, how can they not be counted as my Chinese people?"

Hu Hu said seriously: "Not only to count, but also to spread to the Mongolian people that Genghis Khan is my Chinese!" ”

Although the Mongols killed a lot of Han people.

But I have to admit that Genghis Khan was a Chinese.

The war between Han and Mongolia belonged to the civil war, and it was a war of living space.

Since Emperor Taizu pinched his nose and recognized the Yuan Dynasty as the previous dynasty, future generations have to admit that Genghis Khan is a Chinese, regardless of whether they are separated from each other in their hearts or not.

It doesn't matter whether Genghis Khan admits it or not, anyway, we admit it.

"The old lady is right, the famous general of the Yuan Dynasty is also a famous general in China, and he wants to enter the Wenwu Temple."

Zhu Qiyu said: "In the imperial temple, I also want to include Genghis Khan." ”

In this way, the selection is interesting.

For example, there will inevitably be Hulegu in the martial temple, and Hulegu is the Oriental who has the greatest influence in Europe, and this bull man will also be included in the martial temple.

Among the famous generals Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Guan Yu, Zhou Yu, Li Jing, and Xu Da, a name of Hülegü suddenly appeared.

There will also be names such as Kublai Lai, Zhele, Borshu, Subutai and so on.

Do you feel like it's messing in?

Dayuan has entered, do Liaojin famous generals also have to enter?

The name is interesting.

"Your Majesty, do you want to change these names?" Yu Zijun had a whim.

"How?" Zhu Qiyu looked awkward, but he had to admit it.

"Changed to a Chinese name, a translated Chinese name."

Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes: "Does that guy still know this person?" Why don't you add it? If you don't change it, it's just included! ”

"Your Majesty, famous generals in ancient dynasties such as Dali and Tubo, will you join them?" Ma Wensheng asked a very pointed question.

Does the Ming Dynasty recognize the existence of these dynasties?

Now Dali and Tubo are all under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, such as Songtsan Gampo, can they enter the imperial temple?

If other emperors didn't have this problem, they would definitely not join.

Zhu Qiyu is different, he wants to expand his territory, he wants to be a figure like Genghis Khan, Genghis Khan is inclusive, as long as it is useful to him, he will use it.

So what about whether he adds these people or not?

"Ma Qing, do you think it will be added?" Zhu Qiyu was also hesitating.

If these joined, and when they were expanded to Annam and Korea, would they also be among the famous generals in their history?

Will this be the bane of division?

Ma Wensheng smiled bitterly: "Weichen thinks that there are benefits to adding, and there are benefits to not adding more." ”

"If you add it, you can make Uss return to his heart;"

"If you don't add it, you can ensure the long-term peace and stability of Hermes-Epitek."

He specifically said Hermes-Epitek.

The emperor wanted to eliminate the existence of all ethnic groups, all of them became Han Chinese, and there were no other ethnic groups, and the Ming Dynasty became a single ethnic country.

In addition, it can quickly rule Usz.

Zhu Qiyu was very entangled and looked at Hu Hu and Yao Kui.

Hu Hu is still thinking.

Yao Kui said slowly: "The old minister thought that he would not add it. ”

"If you add them, will it give birth to Wu Sizhen with the heart to recover Tibet?"

"After we include Annan and North Korea, since we have a lesson from the past, do we also want to join their famous generals?"

"It's okay to be like Annam and North Korea, after all, their countries have been bathed in Han civilization for thousands of years."

"And what about the Far West? The khanates established by the Mongols have different names, habits, and even appearances from ours. ”

"Joining them is like joining the Great Yuanjun, it seems nondescript."

Yao Kui's words also make sense.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Hu.

Hu Hu exhaled a breath of turbidity: "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be considered, and the old minister can't make up his mind, both have advantages, and similarly, the disadvantages are great." ”

"Dali is just a small country, and it has long since died of the country, so it's nothing."

"But Wu Sizhen is different, if Your Majesty wants to use Lamaism, you must beware of the resurrection of Tibet."

Although Hu Hu did not say it explicitly, he was opposed to joining these.

In fact, the formation of the Tubo Dynasty has an absolute relationship with the climate, when global warming led to the blooming of spring flowers on the plateau, so that Tubo had the capital to dominate.

With the current rhythm of global cooling, it is difficult for Wu Sizhen to protect himself, what kind of glory will he regain from Tibet?

The problem is that Hu Hu doesn't know this.

He was wary of the lamas who were preaching, who he considered too dangerous and the bane of division.
