"Pass an edict, I will be absent from court for three days, and I will grant you 5,000 yuan of silver coins as a sacrifice to Duke Xingguo, and he will be crowned the new king! All the princes and ministers from the prince to the fourth rank and above are required to pay homage to him on the road!"
Although people with different surnames were not granted the title of king during their lifetime, the deceased in the Ming Dynasty could still be granted the title of king, such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, etc.
However, Zhu Youxiao seemed to intend to encourage the future chief ministers of the cabinet to dare to carry out drastic reforms like Yuan Keli, even if he was called "Yuan Butcher" or even abandoned by his own clan, and gave honors to Yuan Keli who died suddenly.
"According to the order!"
After Bi Ziyan and Liu Hongxun were stunned for a moment, they bowed their hands.
Zhu Youxiao, on the other hand, returned to the main hall alone. Looking at the empty political hall, his eyes could not help but heat up.
He knew that there would be one less familiar figure in the future.
From Fang Congzhe to Yuan Keli, I don’t know who will disappear next, or who will come in as a new member.
The Ming Dynasty's current governance model is a bit like internal discussions between the emperor and his ministers.
Unlike before, the chief minister basically only passed secret messages through eunuchs to decide world affairs with the emperor.
In today's Ming Dynasty, the king and several important ministers basically make decisions together.
Therefore, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is naturally stronger.
Zhu Youxiao also secretly made up his mind to find another place to serve as the office of the political hall in the future.
…
Next, Zhu Youxiao ordered Bi Ziyan to take over Yuan Keli's class.
Zhu Xieyuan joined the Zhengshitang.
Because the decision-making level of the Political Hall needs someone who is familiar with military affairs.
His position as privy envoy was succeeded by Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng succeeded Sun Chuanting as Minister of War.
In terms of the replacement of important ministers, the current Ming Dynasty does not have a shortage of talents.
Yuan Keli's sudden death naturally caused a lot of shock throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the courtiers still have fresh memories of Yuan Keli's past actions of brutally killing many members of the clan, nobles, civil and military officials who opposed his decrees.
Even now, every time they come to Qianbu Corridor, they will think of the scene in the past and can't help but feel scared.
Therefore, when they learned that Yuan Keli had passed away suddenly, many conservative powerful ministers who just wanted to have a peaceful life and did not like to go to war to eliminate the disadvantages of reform were very happy.
Some people who had a grudge against Yuan Keli even quietly set off firecrackers.
"Well done! He, Yuan Keli, has been so domineering and domineering for so many years relying on his holy favor. It can be said that he is ten times more powerful than Fang Congzhe! The clan's participation in politics, the military attachés in charge of civil affairs, and the civil servants conferring lordships. All these things that disrupt the government are due to his handling of the government. During this period, throughout the two-hundred-year history of the country, there has never been so many chaos in the affairs of the dynasty during the reign of the chief minister!"
Li Kangxian couldn't help but speak excitedly after hearing some sporadic firecrackers in the city.
"The Holy One asked the princes and ministers from the prince to the fourth rank and above to set up road sacrifices and pay homage to him. This shows that the Holy One favored him! And he was able to die well, which really surprised me! However, the deceased was Da, I’d better not talk about some things. When will the Ge family plan to hold a road festival?"
Li Biao asked as he spoke.
"If you don't want to join in the fun, wait until those sycophants set it up first."
Li Kang spoke first and then added: "The most disturbing thing now is that the academic department has been taken over by King Xin. King Xin represents the royal family. I'm afraid he won't be like a servant when he comes."
"Let's take it step by step. Bi Zichuan is good at Qiangu affairs. He is gentle in politics and has no prestige in the army. As the chief minister, he doesn't have to worry about excessive things like blood flowing into rivers. But now, there are a lot of people like King Xin. The royal family, as well as newly promoted nobles like Sun Chuanting, occupy important positions, I am afraid that the changes in the court will be more intense in the future."
Li Biao sighed and said.
…
"The Chief Secretary is ordered to appoint academic officials to strictly supervise the promotion of pinyin sentence reading in various social schools. If the private schools of large families are not under the control of the court, but all social schools must do this! Once any social school fails to do this, then If the academic advisor of any province fails to supervise strictly, I will report to the Holy Spirit to remove him from his post as soon as I find out!"
After Zhu Youjian paid his respects to Yuan Keli, he immediately returned to the academic office and issued a new ministry order.
Then, Zhu Youjian asked Zhu Youxiao for instructions, and in the form of a private visit incognito, he began to visit various provinces with his guards, in an effort to popularize the method of reading Pinyin sentences.
Zhu Youjian can be said to be vigorous and resolute, much more active than Li Kangxian.
When Zhu Youxiao came to power, he made an order to establish social studies throughout the country, grant official status to the managers of social studies, and link the achievements of local social studies to official examination results.
Therefore, today's Ming Dynasty is no longer a place where government-run social schools exist for the people, and private schools are everywhere. Instead, there are both official and private schools. And as the emperor invests more and more money in education, the government-run social schools play a vital role in grassroots education. The scale of schools has gradually surpassed that of private schools.
It can be said that as long as Zhu Youjian allows major social schools to start promoting Pinyin sentence reading education, the reform of Pinyin sentence reading will basically be considered a success.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian decided to personally inspect the Weifu.
At this time, social studies in Wanping County, near Guo, were still conducting education in the traditional way, and ignored the orders of the academic department.
After Zhu Youjian inspected incognito and found out, he directly impeached the Tixue official, the magistrate of Beizhili and all the Xuezheng officials in the county.
Emperor Zhu Youxiao directly approved the dismissal of all these people for dereliction of duty and exiled them to guard the border.
This immediately caused a great shock among the people.
Officials from other places did not dare to act perfunctory anymore.
"Your Majesty, on the day that King Xinbin passed away, the scholar who set off firecrackers privately was caught. His name was Zhang Biming."
At this time, Wei Zhongxian was reporting to Zhu Youxiao something that Zhu Youxiao told him to do.
Zhu Youxiao knew that there were many dignitaries and scholar-bureaucrats who opposed the current way of governing that strengthened central royal power, strictly implemented imperial guidelines and national laws, and was committed to educating civilians, opening up people's wisdom and liberating productivity.
Although these people are afraid of the imperial power and national laws and dare not openly oppose it, they often cannot hide their inner dissatisfaction and unwillingness.
And he, the emperor, the master of the empire, needs to always show his unswerving will to do so, and he also needs to express his position in a tough way, so that these dissatisfied people behind them have to give up. The empire will no longer innovate, and will gradually turn against them. The fantasy of loosening the tight grip.
Because once he, the emperor, showed the slightest wavering, these people would be as nimble as dogs and pounce on him crazily, devouring the fruits of reform and destroying the hard-fought achievements.
This has happened countless times in history.
Because the increase in entropy is irreversible.
Therefore, even if Zhu Youxiao learned that someone was setting off firecrackers to celebrate the death of Yuan Keli, the iron-blooded chief minister, he still wanted Dongchang to investigate the person behind the scenes, just to show his attitude to the succeeding ministers.
"They have ulterior motives and are disrespectful to the country's honorable ministers. They need to undergo labor reform to let them know what gratitude is!
According to the decree, Zhang Biming's reputation was revoked and he was exiled to Fushun for ten years to mine. He submitted a self-reflection letter to the court every year. If he did not reflect enough after ten years, he was exiled to a farther place and told the Three Laws Division that this was how he would be dealt with!
Using a butcher's knife will only make the indifferent and selfish people afraid, but will not let them know gratitude. Now they need to wake up through cruel social transformation! "
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao directly issued instructions for disposal.
"yes!"
Wei Zhongxian replied.
Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "How many princes and ministers have not set up road sacrifices for King Xinbin and paid their respects in person?"
"The cabinet minister Li Kangxian, the great uncle Li Biao..."
Wei Zhongxian named some people, and he knew that his emperor was going to ask this question, so he prepared in advance and asked people from Dongchang to make statistics secretly.
"Go to the political hall with my handwriting and ask them to draft an edict immediately. These ministers are disrespectful to the honorable ministers, have no friendship with colleagues, and are heartless. It can be seen that they have no loyalty to the country or the emperor. They are all dismissed from their posts and accompanied by the guards. Military Zhang Tongchang went to Vladivostok and served in the newly established Anton Chief Secretary to think about his mistakes! He also served for ten years first and paid a monthly salary to reflect on himself every year. After ten years, if the reflection is not enough, he will be directly arranged to go to Sakhalin Island! "
Zhu Youxiao therefore ordered.
Now he has begun to take advantage of the fact that Tsarist Russia has not yet advanced eastward, and there are no strong forces in the vast area east of Siberia. He has asked the Privy Council to send some troops north to build cities and forcibly assimilate the local original inhabitants. Therefore, in A new Chief Secretary was established in the area east of today's Siberia, including Sakhalin Island and all the way to the North Pole, called Chief Secretary Anton.
Now we need a group of literati to be sent into exile to educate the original inhabitants.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's current suppression of people who are dissatisfied with Yuan Keli can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
But Li Kangxian and Li Biao were important ministers after all, so Bi Ziyan still begged for them, and after asking to see Zhu Youxiao, he bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, Li Kangxian is considered an old minister after all, and has made great contributions to the country. Doesn't it appear that the court is ruthless by having him guard the border?"
"That's the only way they can go and civilize the indigenous people."
Zhu Youxiao replied.
Bi Ziyan has been with you for a long time. After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, he understood Zhu Youxiao's intention, so he didn't say more and just replied: "Yes!"
And then, these civil servants and scholars who showed insufficient respect for Yuan Keli began to be exiled.
"I won't go! I won't go! It's just a matter of depriving me of my honor, and asking me to go mining in Fushun is humiliating! Scholars cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated!"
Zhang Biming said to Yuan Shu, the general of the Guards who came to escort him.
"You now know that you are a scholar. When you humiliated King Xinbin, why didn't you know that King Xinbin was also a scholar and a scholar of our Ming Dynasty?!"
Yuan Shu, a sergeant of the Guards, asked.
Zhang Biming sneered: "He is not worthy of being a scholar, he betrayed Shilin!"
"Fuck you! What qualifications do you have to deny the identity of King Xinbin as a national scholar!"
Yuan Shu is actually the grandson of Yuan Keli, and it is precisely because of this that the superiors asked him to escort Zhang Biming away.
At this time, after Zhang Biming said this, he kicked Zhang Biming down, cursed Zhang Biming a few words, and then ordered: "Take him away! If you keep him here, the court's cultivation of him will be in vain. Go." Mining is a good way to repay the favor of the imperial court!"
"I'm not going! I'm not going!"
Zhang Biming was still struggling.
…
"What, to Vladivostok, Anton Chief Secretary? Is it farther than Chahar?"
Li Kangxian fell directly on the official hat chair, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Suddenly, Li Kangxian started crying again, and bowed to Yang Zhan, a subordinate of Zhang Tongchang who came to lead the way: "General Yang, please tell your majesty that I am not disrespecting Yuan Fu. I am planning to set up a road sacrifice." Well, it’s just that I have been ill these days and have been delayed. Woo hoo! Please don’t let me go to such a bitter and cold place!”
Li Kangxian cried more and more sadly.
As a scholar-official who was accustomed to living a luxurious life, Li Kangxian really couldn't accept going to a bitter and cold place thousands of miles away.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty now requires that except for the royal family, all masters and servants are employed.
Therefore, if Li Kang goes to Anton first, not many slaves will be willing to follow him. Then his life will naturally be far less comfortable than it is now, when he has clothes to eat and food to open.
"Holy orders cannot be violated, Mr. Li, please."
Yang Zhan personally supported Li Kangxian and dragged him out.
"No! If I don't go, I would rather die here!"
Li Kangxian was still struggling.
But there is no use struggling.
And when Li Kang was put into the prison car and pulled outside the city, he saw Li Biao and others.
Li Kangxian shouted: "Gong Jianxia! Are you going to Anton as well?"
Li Biao looked back and saw that it was Li Kangxian. He couldn't help but shouted back: "Yes!"
"That's good. You don't have to be too lonely."
Li Kangxian replied with a wry smile.
Next, Li Kang waited and was escorted northward by the Guards sent to Anton.
Along the way, Li Kangxian and others also saw the Horqin people who were building the railway.
Li Kangxian couldn't help but said: "What a sin! The imperial court built such a large project to save people's power, but actually enslaved the barbarians in this way. This will definitely be hated by the barbarians in the future, and it will not be conducive to the long-term stability of the family and the country."
"When we didn't enslave the Hulu like this, the Hulu didn't let me have peace in the Ming Dynasty. However, now that the imperial court is sending you to Anton, it is for you to educate the Huru who fled deep into the desert and make them surrender to China. If you obey the Chinese people, you won’t have to enslave them like this.”
Yang Zhan replied.
Li Kang remained silent for now.
When Li Kangxian and others passed by Chahar, Wu Weiye happened to see him.
Wu Weiye hurried over and was extremely happy: "Haha, Han people, I finally see Han people!"
But several Sauron women pulled Wu Weiye back: "Don't even think about going back. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty asked you to come here to educate us!"
Among them, a Sauron woman also said: "Besides, I am pregnant, are you willing to let the child not see his father?"
"I'm not going back, I want to ask them where they are exiled."
Since Wu Weiye was exiled outside the Great Wall, he has been targeted by the Sauron people in this area, especially women. After all, Wu Weiye is the pretty boy of this era. In addition, the imperial court now encourages these Sauron people to actively accept Han culture. , so Wu Weiye was forced to become his husband by several Sauron women.
Now, Albert Wu can’t even leave here even if he wants to.
And now because Wu Weiye said this, these Sauron women let him go.
Wu Weiye ran to Li Kangxian and other convoys, stopped them, and asked Yang Zhan: "May I ask the military master, where are they going to be exiled?"
"Anton."
Yang Zhan replied.
Wu Weiye burst out laughing after hearing this: "It's further than me! Haha! It's further than me!"
Albert Wu laughed like a madman.
Li Kangxian and others were quite depressed when they saw this.
Li Kangxian even asked: "General Yang, how far is Anton from here?"
"There's still almost half a mile left. We'll be here when we can't see anyone for hundreds of miles, wild wolves appear in groups, and big insects can be seen everywhere."
Yang Zhan replied.
Packs of wild wolves?
Are bugs everywhere?
Li Kang felt even more sad after hearing this.
