In Wenyuan Pavilion, from a certain period of time, two Huangmen servants were listening in the corner.
All memorials for officials below the third rank are decided by the cabinet; cabinet votes for those above the third rank are submitted to the emperor for approval.
Some changes were made in the 28th year of Hongwu's reign, which was different from the original voting system. This change also included that two Huangmen chamberlains represented the emperor and listened to all decisions in the cabinet every day.
soon.
A Huangmen chamberlain left quietly without disturbing anyone in the cabinet.
After a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was chatting with Sun Nongyi in the Qianqing Palace, already knew about the resolution reached in the cabinet today.
Zhu Yuanzhang handed the Zhu Fuling in his arms to his mother-in-law, waved his hand to indicate that Huangmen's chamberlain could return to the cabinet, and he walked slowly behind Zhu Biao.
At this time, Zhu Biao was in front of the secretariat of the side hall, reviewing the drafted memorials handed over by the cabinet, as well as the memorials sent to the capital by officials of the third rank and above.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood behind Zhu Biao with his hands behind his back and looked at a memorial that Zhu Biao was reviewing with a red pen in his hand.
It is a memorial submitted to the imperial court by the Yuezhou Prefecture of Huguang Province, and it is related to the content of the promotion of chieftain officials in western Hunan.
Half of Yuezhou Prefecture is located in the mountains of western Hunan. Going west from Shimen County, it enters the inherent boundary of western Hunan.
Compared with Guangxi Road and Yunnan Road, the implementation of the reform of Huguang Road was relatively smooth.
The memorial submitted by the Yuezhou Prefecture only proposed that the Yongding Guard stationed in Dayong County should reclaim fields in the mountains in the 29th year of Hongwu to supplement the food and grass for the more than 5,000 Yongding Guard soldiers.
Zhu Biao reviewed it carefully, pondered for a moment, and then wrote to criticize it.
When Yunyong Dingwei reclaims fields, he must be aware that he must not seize the people's fields.
Wait for Zhu Biao to finish reviewing.
Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly behind him: "The folk customs in western Hunan are fierce. I remember that the imperial court had many guards and Xuanfu departments there?"
Zhu Biao looked back and nodded: "Western Hunan, Guizhou Dusi, and the eastern part of Sichuan Road have always been governed by local chieftains because of the mountains. In order to prevent local chaos, the imperial court gradually established the Xuanfu Division and stationed the garrison at the founding of the country. .”
"Brother Xi said that we need to let people from these places come out. Only by letting them all come out can the fighting in the mountains be reduced." Zhu Yuanzhang whispered.
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "He just made an idea, but I thought that the Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to do this yet. Ask the people in the mountains to come out, what do they do? How do they support their families in Hukou? Rely on Yingtian City What are the workshops outside? I think that when Huguang Road can have workshops like those here in Yingtianfu, it will be possible to do this."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "So the New Deal cannot be stopped!"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that after spending time in the founding of the Ming Dynasty and experiencing the internal disputes in the previous years, the most right thing he did now was to let his bastard mess around under his nose.
In recent years, the population gathered in Yingtian Mansion has increased.
This situation was not caused by his decree to move local people to gather in the capital in the early days of the country, but by the local people spontaneously.
The workshops outside Yingtian City attracted people from several prefectures and counties west of Yingtian to work there.
To this day, Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers the scene he saw after opening the door of Huangzhuang.
Although he was scolded as an old gangster at the time, now when he thinks that such a scene has expanded several times or dozens of times, Zhu Yuanzhang feels happy.
As long as one more person works, an ordinary family can have an extra income.
In the past two years, he rarely visited those workshops, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was just a workshop outside the city specializing in cotton spinning, with at least a thousand female workers working.
Moreover, these workshops did not affect the spinning in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Yingtian has established a complete set of textile processes with cotton as the core. In Suzhou and Hangzhou, silk is still the main product.
The people's income increased, and
There has been no local squeeze.
This is a situation Zhu Yuanzhang likes to see.
Zhu Biao turned his eyes and whispered: "Father, are you thinking about the cabinet's decision?"
Zhu Yuanzhang clapped a memorial in his hand and handed it to Zhu Biao: "I haven't read it yet. Take a look and talk to me."
Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes slightly and took the memorial from the old man.
It was not a memorial about the Confucius family sinking into the sea to feed the fish, but a memorial sent back from Henan Road.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but see his cub's seemingly innocent face, but in fact he had a dark heart.
Knowing today that all the Kong family members are sinking into the sea to feed fish, Zhu Biaotou's first thought was that this matter was most likely done by his own children.
Only he can and dares to do such a thing.
There is no proof!
Zhu Biao even guessed that the officers and soldiers in that fleet might have gone to the southern expedition army by this time.
This is the best arrangement.
Furthermore, Zhu Biao had already thought that as long as he checked the family members of those officers and soldiers to see if they were no longer at home at this time, he would be able to know the truth about this matter.
Holding the memorial sent by his son to Zheng Tian in his hand, Zhu Biao did not rush to read it, but said: "The cabinet wants to throw out the matter of opening up the system, so that the outside world will not have much energy to focus only on the Kong family's affairs. My son thinks That's fine.
After all, to those outside, the dead Kong family had no effect. The DPRK has become increasingly strict in the past two years, and it is probably impossible for them to dare to express slander on this matter. "
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "I would like to see them express their slander."
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes silently. The old man's hands were beginning to itch.
He changed his mouth and said: "It's just a matter of opening up the Central Government, but it does not only involve Shanxi Province. Once the Central Government begins, trouble will also occur in the Lianghuai Saltworks."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Lianghuai has begun to move to Yingtian. Yesterday, people from Lianghuai went to the home of Qi Zhuo, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice."
Obviously, even though Zhu Yuanzhang kept saying that he wanted to give in, as the emperor, he still had absolute control over the Yingtian City under his feet.
If Qi Zhu were in the Qianqing Palace now, he would probably be kneeling on the ground to apologize.
Zhu Biao was used to it: "There are many capable people in the world, and as far as my family is concerned, they are inexhaustible. However, if you want to have the same mind, there are very few."
Qi Zhu is pretty good. He has held various official positions and done things decently. Since his father knew that Liang Huai was walking toward him, he must also know how Qi Zhu reacted. "
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, but a smile appeared on his face: "What kind of reaction he dared to do, he just took away the people who came to Beijing from Lianghuai River, and even sent back the things they brought."
"You still know the rules."
"If he didn't understand this rule, he would be kneeling outside the palace gate right now to apologize."
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was stern, but the smile on his face never disappeared.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang always believed that the purity of officials could be maintained under strong pressure and strict laws.
This is the majesty of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao smiled, stopped talking, and finally lowered his head and opened the memorial in his hand.
As soon as he looked at it, Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing.
"This bastard!"
His performance made Zhu Yuanzhang full of curiosity, and he immediately stretched his head and looked over.
Just after taking a look, Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed.
I saw Zhu Yunxi writing at the beginning of this memorial: My grandson asked the emperor how he had eaten recently and how well he slept.
Balabala, a lot of parents have shortcomings.
Zhu Biao glanced at him, and when he saw that bastard mentioned him, he had some inexplicable feelings in his heart, and then he completely gave up.
"How can you be a father if you don't act decent all day long?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughs
He cursed.
Zhu Biao's face suddenly paused, and his eyes darkened instantly.
"What happened on the river channel was found out. There was something wrong with the bluestone used in the river channel, and the people in the area where the bluestone was produced were tampered with."
At the end, Zhu Biao's voice became smaller and smaller.
There is no fault in the imperial government's management of the river. This is good governance from beginning to end. But even so, there are still people who will tamper with the bluestone.
What does this mean?
If it were not for the explanation behind the memorial, Zhu Biao would have thought that the good government of the imperial court to regulate the river had turned into a vicious and cruel government at the local level.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already sat down next to Zhu Biao at this time, and the two of them read the entire memorial together.
The father and son sighed softly at the same time.
Zhu Biao frowned: "I still don't have any worries when doing things. Why don't you report to the imperial court first, and then the imperial court will issue an order to kill you?"
This is talking about Zhu Yunxi taking all the people of Anle Village back to Luoyang City and executing them in public.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied: "To find stability in the chaos and shock the place. With the White Lotus Sect here, rumors started to spread after the incident in Henan Road. This guy wanted to use the heads of Anle Village to shock the place. The method was a bit sharper, but it was also like this It’s the best way at the moment.”
Zhu Biao was speechless.
He has long been numb to his old man's unreasonable intergenerational marriage.
The old man can scold his own boy, but others, including himself, are not allowed to do so.
Zhu Biao then said, "Brother Xi seems to be unwilling to wait any longer and wants to cut through the mess quickly to resolve the Shanxi Road matter."
After saying that, the prince turned to look at the old man beside him.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak at this time, and his slightly frowned brow showed that he was thinking about the problem.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth.
He did not talk about what Zhu Biao mentioned first, but said: "Brother He wants the third child to go to Datong and lead the troops with Lan Yu. But I think the third child in our family may not agree."
Zhu Biao also frowned: "The third child is a straight-tempered person. Even if he knows that something might happen on Shanxi Road, with his temperament, he is probably still thinking about killing the thief chief himself."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao gave the old man a look.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "When my son is older, my words as a father are useless. If the third child doesn't leave, then let him go."
Zhu Biao had no choice but to continue: "Shouldn't the court also be prepared?"
Zhu Yuanzhang patted his butt and stood up, with his hands on his hips: "Brother Xi wants to enter Shanxi Road, and the third brother will not leave Taiyuan City.
It seems that both of them are ready. In this case, the imperial court will issue an edict to the world to stop the open policy.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and even supports offline reading.
Take action when it's time to take action. "
Zhu Biao nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "It is not my fault to tell the world that Hongwu's new policy will never be changed. Anyone who causes chaos will be punished by the nine tribes. Don't say that you are unpredicted!"
…
Taiyuan City, Li Mansion Courtyard.
The Li Mansion Courtyard, which is as grand as the Jin Prince's Mansion, is the most crowded place in the entire Taiyuan City.
Every day, countless wealthy Jin businessmen always come to Li's house. Later, officials from Shanxi Daosan Division, Taiyuan Prefecture Magistrate's Yamen, and Yangqu County Yamen will always have to pass the government.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
On the street in front of Li Mansion, the sound of horse hooves sounded urgently.
When they arrived in front of the mansion, the man on the horse had already jumped down. The servant at the door quickly took the reins and led the horse to the tying stone aside.
The person who jumped down immediately walked into Li's house quickly.
Kick, kick, kick.
The footsteps were a little messy, and they reached the atrium of Li Mansion and turned to a secret room on the side.
Bang bang bang.
The visitor stood outside the door and knocked on the doorframe.
"Replying to the master, there is news coming from the south, concerning Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the current emperor."
In the secret room next to the atrium of the Li Mansion, Li Wenxiang, the leader of Shanxi merchants, the richest man in Taiyuan, and the head of the Li family, was drinking tea with Liu Zongsheng, accompanied by Li Benqian, and discussing the uprising on Shanxi Road.
Listening to the noise outside, Li Wenxiang's eyelids moved slightly.
"Come in."
After saying that, Li Wenxiang winked at Liu Zongsheng.
Liu Zongsheng picked up the tea cup, lowered his head, squeezed the tea lid with his hand and wiped the tea foam on the tea soup.
People outside entered the secret room.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at the people in the room.
Li Wenxiang narrowed his eyes: "What did Zhu Yunxi do?"
The visitor bowed and clasped his fists: "Sir, Zhu Yunxi has entered Zezhou with officials from the imperial court's Northern Patrol and is heading to Taiyuan Prefecture along the official road."
ever.
Liu Zongsheng, who was drinking tea, stood up immediately and looked at the visitor with wide eyes.
