Chapter Ninety-Eight: Jiajing's Efforts, Cultural Prosperity

"Let's go back...... This is His Majesty's decision, not something I can change, but it is already His Majesty's magnanimity to be demoted to the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard without completely exempting him from the attack. ”

Facing Qian Weiyuan, who handed over a large stack of land deeds with a flattering smile in front of him, and there were various antique treasures next to him, Yan Yuanmo chose to refuse without hesitation.

"Do you know why Zhang Heling was imprisoned by His Majesty? for he has usurped the land, and has done evil. ”

"As far as I know, since the knighthood, your family has not done such a thing, right?"

For these relatives of the corpse vegetarian meal, Yan Yuanmo did not have the slightest good face.

There is no need, An Changbo was given the title of Empress Qian because of Yingzong Xiaozhuang Rui, but Empress Qian had already died in the year of Chenghua, and you must know that all the sources of wealth and wealth of the relatives are their family members as relatives of the emperor.

In the case that Queen Qian has passed away, no one still recognizes him, and Yan Yuanmo doesn't need to have anything to worry about.

Qian Weiyuan cried with a sad face, seeing Xiao Guogong's serious and indifferent expression, he knew that his title that had been passed down since the year of Chenghua was completely gone this time.

But in fact, compared to the other relatives, they are already lucky.

An Changbo's family, because it has declined, so the evil or something is much worse than the Zhang brothers, so it will be opened to the net.

Compared with other relatives such as Chang Ningbo, who once fought with Zhang Heling on the street, was removed from the jail and sent to prison, and Qingyun Hou embezzled a large number of people's land and property, and was also robbed of his house and imprisoned, they are already much better, at least the Jinyi Wei commander handed down from his ancestors is still there.

And Zhu Houxi looked at the reports in his hand, but he was furious.

This bullying is all his people, and the encroachment is his Zhu Houxi's land! Those lands were supposed to be taxed! No wonder Daming has been getting less and less over the years, and he still wonders what's going on, the roots are here.

It turns out that so many have been embezzled by these nobles!

So he logically came to the conclusion:

The nobles who have relatives on the throne are all rice buckets, which is harmful to the Ming Dynasty.

He immediately decreed:

Since the beginning of Jiajing, relatives can not be knighted, nor can they beg for rewards, before there are knights, handed over to the division to investigate, there are lawbreakers, except for the knight!

The reason why I have to survey it again is because there are still a small number of relatives who have meritorious deeds, but they are not enough to be knighted, and later because their daughter/sister entered the palace, they were knighted, such as the family of Empress Renzong Zhang, who has some ability, and Emperor Jiajing is also open to this kind of people.

But these are a minority after all, and most of them are people who are good for nothing but collecting wealth, except for their benefit to the Ming Dynasty and no harm.

With the unfolding of the civil and military investigations, more than 100 courtiers were dismissed, and many relatives were removed from prison and imprisoned.

And those fields that were swept out were arranged to the displaced people, alleviating part of the land annexation, as for the money, it was naturally accepted by Emperor Jiajing's internal money, and he also had his own selfish intentions at this point.

For Jiajing, rectifying the court is only the first step of his new policy.

After that, he did many things.

However, these have a high repetition rate with the previous emperors, such as tax reduction, rectification of the army, encouragement of agriculture, etc., governing the world is the same.

But the simple action has a miraculous effect, under his action, the Ming Dynasty is rejuvenated, the court situation that has been somewhat erosive because of the continuous struggle, and the people who are suffering under natural and man-made disasters finally have a chance to live, not to say rich, at least there is a bite to eat.

That's enough.

Between the government and the opposition, there are already rumors that this is "Jiajing Zhongxing", which is of course an affirmation of Emperor Jiajing's efforts.

But Zhu Houxi felt that it was not enough.

To create a prosperous era that can be praised by future generations, it is also necessary to achieve something culturally.

For example, Zhu Dixiu's "Yongle Canon" laid the last cornerstone of the prosperous era.

He wants to create a cultural prosperity!

To this end, Emperor Jiajing specially allocated funds to build academies and academies in various places, and also ordered the re-recording of the "Yongle Canon".

He also attached great importance to literature and art, and while strengthening his education, he ordered that he should select the best of all the collections in the world, and personally polish and publish them.

After hearing this news, families from all over the world were very excited, after all, they have always belonged to a group of people who are not treated well by orthodox literati, and now if they can be chosen, it will be the emperor who endorses them, and this status has been greatly improved!

After all, the Ming Dynasty was dominated by the history of Chinese culture, and there were actually many of them circulating in the market at that time.

But Jiajing is not easy to fool.

Although he did not mince words about the civil officials in the court, it is undeniable that Emperor Jiajing grew up in the literati after all, and he has a high attainment in literature and art.

A lot, he just glanced at it and threw it away.

"What the hell, what an old plot? The story of a talented and beautiful woman is rotten written! And this logic is not right, all day long is elopement, the sour literati are all blind to think, where to put the words of the matchmaker of their parents. ”

"This can't work, the writing lacks some ......"

Emperor Jiajing frowned, flipping through one local one after another, while constantly appreciating.

However, most of the content is not satisfactory to him, after all, many of them are written by folk down-and-out shows, and they will definitely not be able to enter the eyes of everyone like Jiajing.

There are a few more books, and Jiajing's face turned red when he saw it, and he scolded:

"Out of place, out of place! How can you send these up? ”

After scolding, I didn't forget to quietly tuck those books into my sleeve......

But it must not be used for publication and distribution.

There is a copy of "Loyal Water Margin", and he nodded secretly.

Especially the plot of the heroes returning to the court in the back, which made him feel uneasy. At this time, there were still some bandits in the Ming Dynasty entrenched in the mountains and forests, how similar is this situation?

Especially now that listening to the storytelling has become a kind of entertainment for the whole people in the Ming Dynasty, the bandits are also not exempt from vulgarity, many bandits will secretly go down the mountain to listen, and some people tie the storyteller up the mountain and make him say a paragraph.

Among them, there were even some people who compared themselves to the Three Kingdoms Zhou Cang and the like, and when they met a passing general, they wanted to serve him, but they didn't appreciate it, and directly cut off their heads to invite merit, these things were cited as jokes by the palace people, and Emperor Jiajing also heard about it.

Zhu Houxi immediately thought keenly that he could use this "Loyal Water Margin" to recruit these thieves.

However, the ending of the book made the emperor frown.

Although it is said that anti-corruption officials are not anti-emperor, but can so many corrupt officials be appointed, what kind of good emperor can this be? What's more, now this book is to convey information and shape thoughts, you convey that the emperor is mediocre and surrendered to the victim, what is this?

Change change, change, change!

So Emperor Jiajing personally wrote and changed the second half of the paragraph, and the final ending became that Song Jiang and the loyal ministers of the court joined forces to fight against the traitorous ministers, and the emperor also realized the evil deeds of Cai Jing and others, and destroyed them, and Song Jiang and others all had a glorious life.

Perfect! Although it lacks literary and readability, it can better play its political role.

After writing, Zhu Houxi looked at the author's name with interest, after all, there are not many such good writing.

Written by Shi Nai'an, Yongfu Xiaoxiao Shengxiu, Changle Bookstore Print.

Looking at this payment, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I remember that Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, just heard people talk about the Three Kingdoms, and then others praised him Zhuge , but he didn't dare to be it, so he took Jiang Wei as his goal and wanted to restore the Central Plains and return to the old capital, so he would fight for the Ming Dynasty until the last moment......

After the most pitiful day and twilight are poor, there is only one way to fight King Li Jin!
