Zhu Jianshen was in the Qianqing Palace and continued to read the memorial.
There were gradually fewer memorials on cabinet transfers, and the system also underwent some changes.
As soon as Yu Qian left the capital, Zhu Jianshen changed the rules for the transfer of memorials.
Memorials for officials above the fourth rank must first be sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and then transferred to the Qianqing Palace. They will first be read by the emperor, and then the eunuch will record the emperor’s opinions and instructions, and then transfer them to the cabinet. , the cabinet will continue to sort it out, and then the ceremonial supervisor will compare it. If the cabinet's opinions are different from the emperor's, the emperor will be reported to the emperor for his opinions. Finally, the emperor will give instructions on which processing method to use.
This slight change made Zhu Jianshen busy all of a sudden, and of course he further mastered the administrative power at the grassroots level.
After taking control of this grassroots administrative power, Zhu Jianshen further confirmed his point of view in less than two days.
Originally, this view had always existed, but deep down in Zhu Jianshen's heart, he just didn't want to admit it.
The bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty was extremely large, and under this huge bureaucracy, it swallowed up a large amount of social wealth belonging to ordinary people. This most fundamental factor caused the two extremes of the Ming Dynasty.
The empire was extremely wealthy, uniquely prosperous, and prospered several times. However, at the other extreme, the people were extremely poor, which was in sharp contrast to the extreme wealth of the empire.
The Ming Dynasty was originally a country in the world with the most advanced and complete systems, the richest country, fertile land, and powerful military force. However, this rich and prosperous country did not belong to ordinary people.
During the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, the poor people briefly enjoyed the dividends at the beginning of the new dynasty, but under the rule of subsequent emperors, they slowly returned to the old ways.
They can only become witnesses of the prosperity and great achievements enjoyed by the officials and the emperor's clan.
Zhu Jianshen knew that this situation happened in the huge empire he governed, and that things happened all the time that ordinary people felt powerless.
Regarding this situation, as the emperor who enjoyed the greatest benefits of this system, he dared to shoot at himself, and bravely said to those bureaucrats and clans, if you don't pay the taxes and money to the Ming Dynasty properly, I will kill you.
Desires, for dignitaries, can easily be satisfied in this land, but for ordinary people, desires are an extremely luxurious thing.
Zhu Jianshen wanted to make the clan, bureaucrats, and gentry pay taxes and taxes in one go. On the one hand, it was to allow the court to control a certain amount of wealth, to achieve external progress, and to provide some internal comfort. On the other hand, it was also to change this situation as much as possible. situation.
Clan, gentry, and bureaucrats occupy a large amount of land and wealth, but do not have to pay taxes, while ordinary people hold land and wealth, which can only satisfy food and clothing, but they have to pay grain and perform labor to support the Ming Dynasty. This in itself is It is extremely unfair. Of course, ordinary people cannot support this huge empire.
Capturing North Korea and capturing Annan were great achievements, but the greatest contribution that can really be made to this nation is this kind of slow internal change.
This was also Zhu Jianshen's biggest focus when he was training the prince in the later period.
The death of people and the end of political power are the greatest sorrow for feudal rulers, and cultivating a qualified successor to maintain the unity of officials and gentry is Zhu Jianshen's most important thing.
Now the second child is too young to understand anything. When he gets older, Zhu Jianshen will teach him personally, influence him with his words and deeds at all times, and establish for him the most basic moral character of an emperor, loving the people like a son... …
He wanted to tell the second child that when ordinary people had difficulty eating three meals a day, when clothes were not warm enough, when the cold winter came, and the thin children huddled together to keep warm, no matter how dazzling the Ming Dynasty achieved, it was just the carnival of the emperor alone. It’s just self-deception.
He will not let Confucian ideological teachings enter the world of the princes. This is not to say that Confucianism is bad, but that it is recognized by the world. One cannot become an emperor after the castrated version of Confucianism by the previous emperor. Governing thoughts.
As the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he must break away from the fixed Confucianism, have his own ideas, have the ability to judge right from wrong, and have the quality of diligence...
Even if it is difficult for the succeeding king to make progress, the most basic thing is to maintain the grassroots national policy of government and gentry receiving food from one body.
Of course, during the long training period, Zhu Jianshen will also make his own judgment.
Whether this piece can be carved, whether it can become Qi...
The family affection in the Tian family is halved…………
Some people are secretly cursing what Zhu Jianshen is doing now, while others are praising him.
When a strong wind blows down a sycamore tree, others will comment on it.
When the sycamore tree falls, the phoenix will no longer land. This is not a good thing. But when the big tree falls, the field of vision is also broadened. From this aspect, it is not a bad thing...
In the past, when Yu Qian was around, Zhu Jianshen still had time for himself, but after changing the process, Zhu Jianshen was busy every day, and even he had no time to exercise every day for several years.
But Zhu Jianshen had no regrets. While he was still young, he worked harder and gave himself a thorough understanding of this huge empire early on.
He finally understood the living conditions of his ancestor, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and could also understand why Emperor Yongle Zhu Di established a cabinet...
Zhang Bao, the chief eunuch, was holding in his hand the edict to make Chen Ying the Duke of the country, written by the second chief eunuch, Cheng En, the chief eunuch.
Of course, this is the first draft. His Majesty the Emperor's decree is to use gold threads to repair the brocade so that it can be passed down for generations.
After Zhang Bao read it, he nodded: "I will take it over and show it to Your Majesty. If possible, I will immediately ask the people from the Imperial Supervisor and the Weaving and Embroidery Bureau to finish the work."
"Yes, Eunuch Zhang." Chengen said quickly and respectfully.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Bao co-authored the imperial edict, and a young eunuch held a wooden box with a simple shape but showing royal style.
Zhang Bao held the imperial edict in both hands, put it into the wooden box, and then closed the box himself.
After doing this, Zhang Bao turned his head and looked at Chengen.
"Chengen, you have a good relationship with Shang Ming. I would like to ask if the little eunuch he brought back from Guangxi is his family."
"Eunuch Zhang, no, that little eunuch is from the Yao people, and Shang Ming is from Korea, how can he be his family member." M.biQuge.biZ
Zhang Bao nodded.
"Today, I met this little eunuch. He was sent to the side of the eldest prince. To do such a thing, you must have taken advantage of Shang Ming."
After hearing this, Chengen was startled and quickly knelt down.
"Eunuch Zhang, slave, slave, I haven't benefited at all."
"Isn't favor also good? When you see the Za family getting old, you start to do things under the eyes of the Za family." Zhang Bao's voice gradually became colder.
Zhang Bao went to see Wang Zhi specifically, and he noticed ambition and desire in the eyes of this young eunuch.
Zhang Bao suddenly thought of Wang Zhen.
The powerful eunuch who was good at bewitching the body and mind.
Zhang Baoben wanted to deal with Wang Zhi, but he was also from the bottom of society, and he really couldn't bear to kill a person who was also from the bottom with just one look and one of his feelings.
But today, Zhang Bao met Wang Zhi again beside the eldest prince, which gave Zhang Bao a strong sense of crisis.
The story seems to be happening again...
Although Zhang Bao knew that His Majesty had a legitimate son and it would be difficult for the eldest prince to inherit the throne, if there was an ambitious person making suggestions beside the eldest prince, everything would change.
"No matter what method you use, let Wang Zhi leave the eldest prince's side and let him use the front palace to do some cleaning and cleaning. If you can't do it, you don't have to stay in the ceremonial supervisor anymore."
After Cheng'en heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Eunuch Zhang, I know this. I will take care of it later."
"After it's done, give me a confirmation letter..."
"Yes, Eunuch Zhang."
