Qianqing Palace, side hall.
Wang Jing, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Qia, the minister of the Ministry of War, Song Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Xie Jin, the minister of the academy, Hu Yuancheng, the director of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, Gu Zuo, the imperial censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, the cabinet bachelors, are all here.
Except for Jian Yi, the Minister of Personnel, Jin Chun, the Minister of Punishment, and Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, all the ministers of the court are here.
The reason why Zhu Gaoxu did not invite these three people was because they were not his own people yet, and there were some things that were not convenient for them to know.
As for Wang Jing, Chen Qia, Xie Jin, Gu Zuo and others, they had a close friendship with Zhu Gaoxu when he was still the prince of Han Dynasty, so their friendship was far from comparable to that of Xia Yuanji and others.
"Everyone, sit down!"
"You all know my temper and temperament, and I don't break many rules."
"Today I summon all my dear friends to come here, firstly to reminisce about old times, and secondly for one thing."
Hearing this, all the ministers had smiles on their faces, and seemed extremely helpful.
It is certainly a good thing that His Majesty the Emperor cares about his old friendship, and they don't have to worry about being liquidated one day.
"Jie Gongbao, I heard that your old Jie family is preparing to welcome you back to the sect? Have all the elders of the sect been waiting outside your door for several days?"
Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile and mentioned an interesting thing.
When the ministers heard this, they immediately became interested and looked at Xie Jin, the Minister of Academic Affairs.
At that time, Jie Jin had a friendly relationship with the Han prince and promoted the new learning together. As a result, he was plotted by Cheng Zhu Jinshen, who forcefully forced the Jie family in Ji'an to expel Jie Jin from the family and became a lonely ghost without roots. Rootless duckweed.
This was a very severe punishment in any dynasty.
The common people pay attention to inheritance, but Jie Jin was immediately expelled from the clan, and he was not allowed to recognize his ancestors. Where could he go to continue the clan?
I didn't expect that after so many years, there has been no movement from Ji'an's Jie family. Now that the prince Zhu Gaoxu has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, they suddenly appeared, kneeling and begging to get Jie Jin back. This is not a slap in the face. ?
Or is it that Ji'an Jie's family has recognized the reality and is ready to embrace Jie Jin's thigh?
Jie Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, please stop teasing me."
"Back then, Ji'an's Jie clan, regardless of blood and family ties, forcibly expelled Wei Chen from his clan and drove him out of his family. Wei Chen made up his mind to never return to the Jie clan in his life!"
"Okay!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Gongbao is so ambitious. Your family will be designated as the Jie family in Beijing. I will have people build an ancestral hall tomorrow. Your name Jie Jin will be written on the first page of the family tree. This is the promise I made to you back then! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Xie Jin himself was in a daze, and then he hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground.
"I, Jie Jin, thank you for your kindness!"
There is no other way, the emperor's gift is too great!
Not only did he personally issue an edict to re-open the line, but he also specially built an ancestral hall. This honor alone is enough to surpass the Jie family in Ji'an!
"Okay, okay, get up!"
Zhu Gaoxu helped Xie Jin up with his own hands, and then picked up the wine glass.
"Come and drink this wine!"
Jie Jin took the wine glass and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with red eyes. In the end, he didn't say anything more, but picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Zhu Gaoxu then looked at the ministers and chuckled.
"You are all my old brothers too."
"You worked hard with me back then, and now that I am sitting on the throne, your benefits will naturally be indispensable. The promises I made back then will naturally be fulfilled one by one!"
When the officials heard this, they all looked moved.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Hu Yuancheng again, the god of Ming Dynasty firearms.
"Lao Hu, you have done well over the years."
"The Royal Manufacturing Bureau continues to develop and update armaments, and you, Hu Yuancheng, should be the first to make the contribution!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu picked up his wine glass and looked at Hu Yuancheng.
"Your Majesty, humble ministers dare not take credit. This is all the work of the master craftsmen."
Hu Yuancheng is telling the truth. Without those master craftsmen, Hu Yuancheng alone would not be able to develop new weapons.
"You, you, are just too humble!"
"I know that you have always been cautious because of your background."
"Let's do this. I will choose your son Hu Shulin as my consort and a virtuous and virtuous princess from the royal family. What do you think?"
Hu Yuancheng was originally the eldest son of Annan dignitary and Hu Jiyou, the monarch of the Hu Dynasty. He once served as Situ in the Chen Dynasty and Zuo Xiangguo in the Hu Dynasty. He was later captured by the Ming Dynasty king's division. Because he was good at weapons, he was a weapons master of the generation, so he was previously in the army. Served in the Ministry of Industry of Ming Dynasty.
However, because of his status as a surrendered minister of Annan, Hu Yuancheng was not happy in the Ministry of Industry and was often suppressed and excluded by his colleagues.
It wasn't until Hu Yuancheng met Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty, the god of Ming Dynasty firearms, that he really came into use.
First, he entered the imperial prison and compiled new textbooks with Xie Jin and others, and spent a carefree and wonderful time. Then he directly became the director of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, in charge of the Military War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau, and was responsible for the research and development of new armaments. Improved large open firearm.
If it weren't for Zhu Gaoxu, Hu Yuancheng would still be a small military official, still being suppressed and ostracized by his colleagues.
Hu Yuancheng couldn't help but blush at the thought of this.
"Your Majesty, I... you deserve it!"
Marrying into the imperial family is the dream of many courtiers!
If they can marry into the imperial family, they will definitely be His Majesty's confidants, and there will be an extra talisman. At least the prosperity and wealth of future generations can be guaranteed.
This reward given by His Majesty the Emperor is enough to make many people's eyes turn red with envy!
"Get up and talk!"
"You are my God of Firearms, so I will naturally give you preferential treatment!"
"Shulin is a good boy. If we continue to train him for a few years, he will be able to take over from you in the future!"
At the mention of his son, Hu Yuancheng smiled happily.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the ministers one by one, said some words of encouragement, and gave corresponding rewards to each of them.
Most of these rewards are mainly to solve their own difficulties, rather than gold and silver treasures, but it is such a reward, which is even more touching.
After all, the man in front of him is the Wude Emperor, the ninth-five-year-old emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Not only did he remember the friendship in the past, but he also remembered the difficult situation he and others faced, and he also remembered the personal promise he made back then, which seemed very precious.
After the chores are sorted, the next step is to get down to business.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "Many of you should have guessed it."
"I intend to implement the policy of dividing the land into acres, abolishing the privileges of the gentry and the gentry, and making everyone work as errands and pay the grain. This matter is related to the country of Ming Dynasty, so I want to ask your opinion!"
Ministers: "!!!"
Divide into acres!
Abolish the privileges of fame!
The gentry and the gentry all work as errands and pay for their food!
Damn it, you are going crazy!
Co-author: Today’s dinner party turned out to be a Hongmen Banquet?
For a moment, all the ministers' faces turned green.
If they were given another chance, maybe they wouldn't have listened to the slander of Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han!
