"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"
The six ministers came out together as if they had rehearsed, and they all bowed their hands towards the emperor.
"The first thing involves the participation of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Personnel."
When Chongzhen said this, he stood up from the dragon chair and stared at the vassal kings: "Starting immediately, restore the clan mansion!"
The Clan House is in charge of the affairs of the royal family, such as the clan roster, compilation of jade certificates, inheritance order, salary levels, support and benefits, recording of the clan's crimes and faults, etc.
To put it bluntly, it is a law enforcement agency of the royal family.
"I personally serve as the clan leader!"
"The King of Fu Zhu Changxun and the King of Qin Zhu Yizhu served as the left and right clan officials, the acting king Zhu Dingwei, the prince Zhu Gongzhen (Xiao) of the Zhou Dynasty served as the left and right clan officials, and the Tang Dynasty king Zhu Yujian served as the experience department officer!"
King Fu was originally looking towards him. King Qin and King Dai had been rectified long ago, and now their thoughts are much lighter.
Zhou Wang Zhu Gongzhen only remembered that he was the only bloody vassal king in the late Ming Dynasty. When Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, he offered a reward of fifty taels of silver for each person killed by the enemy.
As a result, Li Zicheng returned without success. In the end, he could only dig the Yellow River and flood Kaifeng, drowning tens of thousands of people.
Zhu Yujian, on the other hand, was King Qinguo in the late Ming Dynasty and was the second emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He was still loyal to the emperor.
With this arrangement, the Zongren Mansion is one of their own, and they can feel more at ease.
The Zongren Mansion was established by Taizu, but when the Yongle period saw a large-scale reduction of nobility, the affairs of the Zongren Mansion were basically handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and the Zongren Mansion became a decoration.
In addition, the vassal kings were scattered all over the country. Perhaps in order to make up for the emperor's policy of cutting down the vassals, the emperors of the past dynasties turned a blind eye to what the vassal kings and clans did.
Now that the princes and princes have returned to the capital, they are under centralized supervision. The sect's mansion is like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and they will be chopped down at any time.
The princes were also a little stunned. The turn of events was really too big.
Since they entered the hall, they had been thinking about how the emperor would deal with them. Unexpectedly, it was as if the assassination last night had not happened, and the sect's mansion was reopened.
Looking at the dazed vassal king, Chongzhen said calmly: "What's the matter? Don't want to?"
"I thank you, Your Majesty, and I am willing to share your worries!"
Several people who were awakened by Chongzhen's words immediately saluted and thanked him. They really did not expect that the emperor would make such a decision.
Zongzheng and Zongren on the left and right are all Zhengyipin. Although they don't care about court affairs, Zhengerbajing Yipin has a lot of status and salary, and they can be more generous in the future.
After everyone came to their senses, Chongzhen looked at Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, and said: "Liu Aiqing, after the court meeting, your Rites will immediately hand over the affairs of the clan mansion to Prince Fu and others, hand over all the clan files, etc.
Various etiquette regulations that church members should know and understand, etc.!
In addition, we will discuss with the Imperial College the enrollment of royal children! "
"I obey the decree!"
"Qiao Aiqing, the "Da Ming Code" does not apply to the royal family, and the "Huang Ming Ancestor Training" is too broad. You and Prince Fu and others revised the "Huang Ming Ancestor Training" based on the Ming Dynasty Law.
We do not need to be as detailed as the Ming Dynasty Law, but we must at least ensure that there are laws to abide by, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated. "
"I understand!"
"Fang Aiqing, please coordinate with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Prince Fu and others to discuss and improve the various departments under the Zongren Mansion. All the manpower the Zongren Mansion lacks will be selected from the clan. Remember, conduct comes first, talent and learning come second."
"I obey the decree!"
Shangshufang, the official minister, responded immediately.
The ministers listened to the emperor's arrangement and nodded secretly.
The emperor's arrangement shows that he attaches great importance to the emperor and pays attention to etiquette, law and learning.
Being rich for more than three generations is not an inevitable phenomenon and is affected by many factors, such as family, individual, country, society, traditional concepts and so on.
But the most important thing is family tradition. Family tradition is the key and stability is the guarantee.
He does not require everyone in the clan to become outstanding talents, but he must at least abide by etiquette, understand the rules, and be a good person.
Not to mention how much you have contributed to the court, but at least don't drag it down.
If you become a commoner in the future, you will be a knowledgeable commoner. You can make a living on your own, and that is enough.
"The second thing is the issue of property seizure and verification by the clan."
"The Ministry of Husbandry took the lead, cooperating with the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment, to conduct an inventory of the properties of each prefecture, to clear out the land, and to compensate the clan members for their money and fields as required. The officials and gentry involved were also dealt with in the same way as the Prince of Qin's Mansion and the King Dai.
Bi Aiqing, how long do you need? "
Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, left the mission and thought for a moment: "Your Majesty, this matter involves a wide range and the distance is long. I am afraid that the various departments of the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to carry out the work. If it continues to be delayed, there is a risk of things happening. I need help.
We strive to complete the liquidation within three months and transport cash, antiques, calligraphy and paintings back to Beijing before the end of the year. "
Chongzhen nodded and looked at Yuan Keli: "Yuan Aiqing, the cabinet has drafted a decree for Lu Xiangsheng of Qufu to be responsible for the investigation and punishment of the vassal kings in Shandong.
Shaanxi Hong Chengchou was in charge of the vassal palace in Shaanxi, and Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the southwest, was in charge of the vassal palace in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.
The Imperial Army's Jeju Guards were transferred to Henan to take charge of the vassal palaces of the four northern prefectures in Henan. The Shaanxi Tongguan Guards were transferred to Henan to take charge of the four vassal princes' palaces in the southern part of Henan.
Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, transferred the Marine Corps into Huguang and Jiangxi and took charge of the vassal palaces within the territory.
In addition, he sent orders to the censors of various provincial highways and was responsible for the supervision of the feudal princes' palaces within their territory. "
"I obey the decree!"
After Yuan Keli responded, Chongzhen stared at the ministers: "The investigation of the feudal prince's palace is the top priority this year. Except for natural disasters and mutinies, everything must be put after this.
It is related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty for the next hundred years. If anyone is negligent, he will be dismissed from his post and exiled, or his family will be confiscated and exterminated.
After retreating from the court, the ministries and agencies coordinated their manpower, made plans, and submitted them to Dongnuan Pavilion. They must set off before the twilight hour tomorrow! "
After the ministers responded, Chongzhen continued: "Dear ladies, do you have anything else to add?"
"Your Majesty, I have a script!"
As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, Yuan Keli left the office: "Your Majesty, it is June now, which is also the busy time for wheat harvesting in Henan, Shaanxi and other places.
I believe that the top priority is to organize various regions to harvest wheat from the fields belonging to each feudal prince's palace and ensure that the grains are returned to the warehouse.
The weather in June can change at any time. If there is a delay of a few days due to inventory issues, and there happens to be a thunderstorm, those millions of stones of food will become moldy! "
Listening to Yuan Keli's addition, Chongzhen felt excited all over.
Just thinking about checking the property, I actually ignored this matter.
He did remember that in later generations thousands of acres of wheat rotted on the fields due to problems with road management, weather, scheduling, etc.
There were dryers in later generations, but there are no dryers now. If it gets caught in the heavy rain, it's really doomed.
"Han Aiqing, please go to Henan in person to take charge of the summer harvest. I allow you to mobilize the surrounding police stations. You must return all the wheat to the warehouse as quickly as possible and do a good job of keeping it!
Also notify the chief secretaries of each province and ask them to take action! "
"I accept the decree!"
Han Huang, the cabinet minister, immediately went to work to respond. He was also secretly cruel in his heart. Anyone who dared to fall off the chain would be cut down.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been vigorously hoarding grain. What can be replaced by grain will definitely cost money. If there is a problem with the summer harvest this time, not to mention the local officials, he will have to move his head.
