The prison of the Criminal Department.

Tie Hyun is dressed in prison clothes, shackles on his hands and feet, and sits steadily, calm and fearless.

On the other side, Li Qing's lips foamed, but Tie Xuan was still unmoved.

Li Qing was helpless, so he had to say: "You are Jianwen's courtier, but you are also an official of the Ming Dynasty, why is this so troubled?" ”

After a pause, "During the reign of Jianwen, the government was erosive, and the national strength was weakening day by day, you should know that now the emperor wants to emulate Emperor Taizu and make the Ming Dynasty prosperous......"

"Don't waste my tongue, I will never submit to a usurper." Tie Xuan said lightly, "The previous emperor's governance is indeed biased, however, as a courtier, you should advise, not like you, and sell the lord for glory." ”

"......" Li Qing smiled bitterly, "Didn't you persuade me?" It's a pity he didn't listen! ”

"It's all excuses!" Tie Xuan disdainfully, "The first emperor is the heir appointed by Emperor Taizu, and he is orthodox, and King Yan is only a vassal king, what qualifications does he have to inherit the unification?"

Even if the first emperor dies, the first emperor still has a son, and no matter how bad it is, there is still King Wu;

Father dies and son succeeds, brother dies and brother dies, no matter how much it is his turn to be King Yan! ”

Tie Xuan was upright and angry, and said loudly: "Zhu Di, how can I care if you are seeking to usurp the throne?" ”

Li Qing was really speechless, but he also spontaneously felt a sense of respect.

The literati style is nothing more than that.

Tie Xuan is different from Qi Fanghuang, although the three of them are also loyal, but their actions are for personal gain, and they are chaotic and corrupt, and they are not worthy of sympathy.

And Tie Xuan is dedicated to doing things for Daming, although the object of his allegiance is wrong, but he is not to blame, it is Zhu Yunwen who bears him.

In all fairness, Li Qing still wants to save Lao Tie, this person is indeed talented, and Daming also needs such a person.

Li Qing sighed, "Zi said: The people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light; Could it be that the people in the world and the society are not as good as a weak king? ”

Tie Hyun turned his back and was very clear.

In the face of such a person, Li Qing was helpless, sighed lightly, got up and left.

……

The other side.

After Zhu Di took control of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, he began to rectify the dynasty and reappointed and promoted a large number of young officials.

Shilang Jianyi was promoted to Shangshu, Shilang Xia Yuanji was promoted to Shangshu, Hanlin Shizhao Xie Jin was promoted to Shishu, Yang Rongwei was revised, and Jin Youzi was reviewed......

These were all officials who were not reused in the Jianwen Dynasty and were still relatively young.

After Zhu Di waved the stick, he gave the sweet dates again, and as for the officials who were replaced before, no one dared to have an opinion.

Because, the real reckoning began.

Zhu Di summoned Chen Ying, the envoy of Beiping, and promoted him to the left deputy of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and ordered him to strictly investigate Jianwen's party.

Seeing that the trouble was getting bigger and bigger, Li Qing had to persuade him: "Your Majesty, it's enough to set up one or two typical examples, and it is not appropriate to implicate too much." ”

Dao Yan also followed and persuaded: "The harder the pressure, the stronger the rebound, the world still needs to be governed, although the frontier has been calm in recent years, it does not necessarily contain any conspiracy, we are in internal friction, but they are developing!" ”

The two of them talked badly, and finally persuaded Zhu Di.

Zhu Di changed the investigation of Jianwen's party to a thorough investigation of Fang Xiaoru.

The stick was waved, the sweet dates were given, and the army mastered it, and in just one month, Zhu Di cleared all the obstacles.

It stands to reason that his throne can be said to be stable, but he still has to do a big thing.

———— deal with Jianwen's family.

The next day, noon.

Ru Yu played: "Your Majesty, the minister is unhappy if he doesn't say a word." ”

"Aiqing, please speak!"

Ru Yu said: "Emperor Taizu originally wanted to pass on the emperor's position to you, but he was overshadowed by Jianwen, and the ministers were courageous, and implored the emperor to move Jianwen out of the temple!" ”

"This ......" Zhu Di frowned slightly, wondering: "Do you have evidence?" ”

"Yes." Ru Yu immediately took out the 'evidence' and presented it with both hands.

Zhu Di looked at it in a fake way, and was furious: "Jianwen Xiaoer, you are so despicable...... Remove the Jianwenling tablet from the temple and erase it from the genealogy. ”

Zhu Yunwen also did the expulsion of the family tree, and now he has been done by Zhu Di again.

The ministers are all human spirits, and they can't understand it, so they immediately salute and echo: "The emperor is shengming!" ”

Jin Youzi drew inferences from one another: "Prince Yiwen has never ascended the throne and claimed the emperor, but he was posthumously presented with the emperor's temple number and nickname by Jianwen, which is really ......

This practice is simply a big joke in the world, and the minister implores the emperor to take back the number of Prince Yiwen Xingzong Temple, and the name of Emperor Xiaokang is changed to Prince Yiwen! ”

Before Zhu Di could speak, the ministers had already knelt on the ground, "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Zhu Di was entangled for a long time, and nodded very reluctantly in agreement.

The ministers shouted: "The emperor is sage! ”

Then, he took Zhu Yunwen's mother to talk about it, since Zhu Biao's identity as the emperor is gone, the identity of the Lu family's queen mother will naturally be withdrawn.

Zhu Di was as good as a stream, demoted the Lu family to the princess of Yiwen, and then sent her to show Zhu Biao's grave in the name of remembering her eldest brother.

At the same time, Zhu Biao's eldest daughter, Princess Jiangdu, was demoted to the lord of Jiangdu; Zhu Yunxi, the king of Wu, was changed to the king of Guangze; Zhu Yunxi was demoted from King Heng to King Huaien......

Li Qing had mixed feelings in his heart, he knew that the fourth child would probably kill these nephews in the future.

So after the dispersal of the dynasty, he took the opportunity to advise Zhu Di: "Prince Yiwen has done his best for the country, and now the emperor is on the throne, which is expected by everyone......"

Li Qing knew that Zhu Di was weak-hearted, for himself and for the sake of future generations, Zhu Di would definitely find an opportunity to kill him.

But in fact...... There is no need at all.

"Your Majesty, the people have rods and scales in their hearts, and winning the hearts of the people is the best policy."

Zhu Di was silent for a moment and nodded slightly, "Come with me." ”

……

The Qianqing Palace was being renovated, and the two came to the middle hall.

After taking his seat, Zhu Di stepped back and said, "Jianwen is not dead. ”

"Huh?" Li Qing looked surprised, and then said: "It's not important, the important thing is that the people of the world think he is dead, take a step back and say, as long as the emperor works hard, even if he is standing under Jinling City, what's the matter?" ”

Zhu Di looked at Li Qing directly, and Li Qing looked calm.

After a long time, Zhu Di looked away and said lightly: "According to investigation, there was a young man who followed a sloppy Taoist out of the city that night, I remember that your master is Zhang Sloppy, right?" ”

"It's... Does it matter? ”

Li Qing was still calm, but his heart was already a little panicked, and he said secretly: "Isn't it?" You can think of it all together, it's ...... Outrageous. ”

"I'm worried that when the time comes, it will be difficult to make a comeback, and the country will be in chaos again." Zhu Di looked uneasy and said weakly, "I can't find Jianwen for a day, and I can't sleep and eat for a day!" ”

"The emperor is in love." Li Qing comforted, "Jianwen has no team at all, and the generals don't support him, Wenchen ...... The emperor also saw it, and they would not go to Jianwen, the general trend has been decided. ”

After a pause, "Now that the situation is basically stable, governing the Ming Dynasty is the right thing." ”

Zhu Di nodded, but there was still deep uneasiness in his eyes: "I have abolished all the new policies for Jianwen under the pretext of restoring the ancestral system, so let's follow the steps this year, and the new policies will be implemented next year." ”

"By the way, do you have a good plan?"

"A little." Li Qing did not shy away from it, and immediately explained in detail the strategy of changing the household registration system.

After listening to this, Zhu Di nodded his head: "Yes, if the country wants to develop, it must let the people have a head;

However, if you want to prosper, the most important thing is to have money, Jianwen has been in power for a few years, and a lot of money has been thrown around, and what I want to do is too much money. ”

Li Qing's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, treasure money should not be printed indiscriminately, it is just a tool for trading, not a wealth ......."

"Of course I do." Zhu Di glared at him angrily, and then said, "What do you think, how about maritime merchants?" ”

"Open the sea?" Li Qing's eyes lit up, "Okay, the Song Dynasty is so rich, it depends on maritime trade, the emperor is shengming!" ”

He didn't expect that before he could say it, Zhu Di realized it first.

If you want to develop rapidly, opening the sea is definitely the best strategy, and the silk, porcelain, and tea of the Ming Dynasty are ...... As long as it goes overseas, the price can be increased at least ten times, or even dozens of times, which is simply a profit.

Li Qingxin said: "The fourth child is really extraordinary, this courage is much stronger than that of Lao Zhu." ”

It is true that there are many advantages to opening the sea, but there are also disadvantages.

First of all, it is necessary to set up a large number of sailors to open the sea, and the ships will drift across the sea, and after a long time, it is easy to form a trend of a big tail that cannot be dropped.

Moreover, the gentry and rich lords will take the opportunity to grow stronger, and may even force the imperial power.

The Song Dynasty was that the scholars were too powerful, and then they overthrew the imperial power, which eventually led to the destruction of the country.

This is also the reason why Lao Zhu forbids the sea!

Moreover, once the sea is opened, the gap between the rich and the poor will widen, and there will certainly be many rich gentry and landlords who change rice to mulberry in order to make money, which will cause the people to go hungry.

However, compared with these drawbacks, the benefits of opening the sea are more.

The opening of the sea will enable the economy to develop rapidly, broaden horizons, learn from each other's strengths, and communicate with all countries; The need for the country to remain open is too great.

"Your Majesty, if you want to open the sea for trade, you must first solve the problem of the ship." Li Qing said excitedly, "Then, find ways to restrict the rich gentry, for example: for the sake of profit, change rice to mulberry." ”

Zhu Di nodded, and shook his head again: "The treasure ship is not a problem, don't you know Chen Youliang?" ”

"Chen Youliang?" Li Qingne nodded, "I know, this... Does it have anything to do with him? ”

"Of course, when my father and him fought at Poyang Lake, if it weren't for him, who won and who lost." Zhu Di said with a smile, "That fight is not good, but he is a good shipbuilder;

He still made a great contribution to our Ming ships, and it is not a problem to cast treasure ships at all. ”

After a pause, "As for restricting the rich gentry landlords...... There is no need at all! ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "The business of opening the sea and trading is only done by the imperial court, how can I give them the opportunity to become bigger and follow in the footsteps of the Song Dynasty?" ”

His eyes burned: "What I want to do is that the wealth of the country drives the wealth of the people, not the rich gentry who drive the wealth of the people, they can't bring the wealth of the people, let alone bring it." ”
