My Daming New Empire

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhu Di also enjoyed family happiness with Zhu Gaosui's family and Zhu Zhanji.

During the dinner, Zhu Di studied Zhu Gaosui's children's knowledge, and also rewarded his concubine and children with some etiquette.

Under the white moonlight, Zhu Di's hair and beard also looked a little gray. The emperor of this generation was really old.

However, he is in good spirits, and he hopes that the medicine he contributed to him will allow him to live for a few more years.

If it can be banned, Zhu Zhanji actually has no interest in being emperor.Dealing with state affairs all day long, with almost no personal time, it is actually a hard job to be a good emperor.

However, it is very difficult for everyone to carry out their will and not be emperor.

Zhu Zhanji even wanted to hide behind Zhu Di, plan for a few more years, and lay the foundation. After he came to power, he would be able to carry out drastic reforms.

He also talked to Zhu Di about Sun Xian's arrangement. In the original history, Zhu Zhanji was also left with a disgraceful record because of the abolishment.

Now Zhu Zhanji certainly doesn't want this.

Sun Xian's records in history are not bad, and it's not bad to let her be the queen directly.As for Empress Hu, it was a bit innocent to be deposed in the original history, but if she hadn't been made a queen at the beginning, but just a noble concubine, there would be no subsequent disturbances.

As for the power of Jinyiwei, now that Jinyiwei is under the control of Zhu Zhanji, is it still necessary to strengthen the connection through a hundred households?

Of course not!

(The [-] eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were not the eunuchs in the imperial palace. In addition, the vassal palaces in various places guarded the eunuchs' mansions. The five customs offices in the Ming Dynasty were also controlled by eunuchs. , Inner weaving and dyeing, wine and vinegar noodles, and the eight bureaus of Siyuan, these are most of the employers.

There are also people who don't know how to pretend to understand and say that the palace of 100 eunuchs cannot fit, the traffic is blocked, and the average area of ​​a person is only seven square meters.Not to mention that these eunuchs are either concentrated in the imperial palace or concentrated in the imperial palace. The area of ​​the Nanjing imperial palace is 72 million square meters, and the northern imperial palace is a [-] square meter imitation, okay?What's more, the imperial palace is divided into Miyagi and Imperial City, and most of the eunuchs live in the Imperial City instead of Miyagi. )

Chapter 65 Wen Chen

On August [-]th, Zhu Di held his first grand court meeting in more than half a year at his residence in Beiping.

Due to the delay of more than half a year, although many major events were handled by Zhu Di through the express, there are still many backlogs that need to be processed.

The Great Court Meeting was held for two consecutive days, all of which were dealing with these matters.

With Zhu Di's permission, Zhu Zhanji also watched the grand court meeting, and felt more and more that being an emperor in this era is really hard work.

The typhoon in the southeast coast needed help, the women in Shanxi beat Dengwen drums to redress their grievances and wanted justice, and the second generation of dudes bullied others. Some cases that Zhu Zhanji believed should not be resolved by the emperor at all were sent to the court for various reasons. In front of Zhu Di.

The imperial court supported so many ministers, but they could not fulfill their responsibilities, perform their duties, have laws to abide by, and punish those who break the law, so many things were pushed to the emperor.

This is still routine, not once or twice.

This also means that although you are an emperor, you not only have to manage state affairs, foreign policy, and military warfare, but also worry about people's eating, drinking, sleeping, and trial and judgment.

Seeing the many broken things that were submitted, people took it for granted, and even Zhu Zhanji didn't know where to go to correct everyone's ideas.

Moreover, even if he wants to reform, the resistance he encounters will be astonishing.No matter how great his power is, he will exercise his power through the ministers of civil and military affairs. When the ministers of civil and military affairs do not realize that this is wrong, it is impossible for you to change.

Zhu Zhanji believes that if he is sitting on the throne now, if he wants to reform, he may not even get out of this hall.

On August [-], Zhu Di issued an order.Hu Guang, a scholar of Zuochunfang University, Yang Rong, a scholar of Hanlin University, and Jin Youzi wrote "Northern Expedition Records" to carry forward the great achievements of this Northern Expedition.

And the deeds of Liu Sheng, Zheng Heng, Mandu and other heroes were recorded in the book and published as a book, so as to encourage the military and meritorious heart in the army.

At the same time, it was also officially decreed to reward the world, and the military and guards who gave meritorious service received vigorous publicity and praise from the imperial court in addition to economic benefits.

Liu Sheng was originally promoted to Marquis of Anyuan, hereditary earl.Because of the first military exploits in the Northern Expedition this time, although his title was not promoted, the hereditary earl was granted the title of hereditary marquis by adding five hundred stones to Jialumi.

This reward is relatively large. Originally, if his Marquis Anyuan was passed on to his son, he would become Uncle Anyuan.But this time, the title of Marquis Anyuan will become the heirloom of the Liu family.

Changing from a lifelong Marquis to a hereditary Marquis is more important than the reward for being a duke.

Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, led the Chinese army to dispatch well, and charged to kill the enemy's first soldiers, so he got an arrow in the cheek.Thanks to his hard work and hard work, he was also granted the title of hereditary marquis.

The relatives of these two families were thus sealed off. From their elders to younger generations, they all got some rewards, without any omission.

On August [-]th, the Great Court Meeting on this day has been discussing the matter of formally awarding honors to the military guards.

Military merit is divided into two levels of meritorious service. In Zhangbei, Zhu Di's award to the three armies is only for meritorious service, but the formal award of honor has to go through the court meeting, civil servants, and the Ministry of War to be considered formal. It doesn't work for Zhu Di to speak alone.

If it was in the late Ming Dynasty, military commanders were vigorously suppressed by civil servants, even if there were rewards, they might be reduced.

But during this period, under Zhu Di's strong rule, although civil servants and military generals could not be regarded as close as a family, there were not many constraints on each other.

The Military Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War are the military commander's own camp, and an institution where civil servants control the generals. Although some small conflicts often break out between them.But everything is still within the controllable range, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Although Zhu Zhanji had a bad impression of Confucianism because of the influence of later generations, but only after experiencing it personally did he know that a feudal dynasty cannot do without the support of Confucianism, a school of thought that occupies the mainstream of society.

And the Confucianism of this era is actually not as unbearable as he imagined.Inside and outside the court today, there are a large number of Confucian civil servants with idealism and practical spirit.

Within the imperial court alone, there are a large number of civil servants that Zhu Zhanji thinks are good.

Like Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Hu Guang, Hu Yan, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu, Jian Yi, Yu Xin, Liu Guan, Zheng Ci, Song Li, Jin Chun, Xia Yuanji, Lu Zhen, Jin Zhong, etc. People are people who can leave their names in history.

Outside of the imperial court, there were quite a few literati like this in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Huang Fu, who holds the title of Shangshu and concurrently serves as the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi Cheng and the Chief Envoy of the Announcement of Jiaozhi, and the Secretary of the Inspectorate of the Prosecution, Zhu Zhanji has never heard of such a person in later generations.

But now it is discovered that Huang Fu is one of the most capable administrative officials he has found since he came to this era.

In terms of the strategy of controlling Jiaozhi, although some of the means implemented by this person are not in line with Zhu Zhanji's wishes, but just because he can make the Jiaozhi people obey him alone, people can know his ability.

Zhu Zhanji accidentally discovered this person from the memorial. After getting to know him a little bit, he felt more and more that he should not underestimate the ancients.

Because no matter what position or job this person is in, he can be impeccable.

But people like Huang Fu who like to do practical things are naturally not noble enough among civil servants, and they will not be respected by civil servants themselves, so their reputation in history is not obvious.

In the 17th year of Hongwu, Huang Fudeng became a Jinshi.After entering Taixue, he served successively as Jinwu's avant-garde experience.

He was appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang because he wrote a letter on state affairs, and promoted him to be the right servant of the Ministry of Industry.

After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he relied heavily on Huang Fu.During the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di made a list of 29 members of the treacherous party, and Huang Fu was among them.

But later, because of his outstanding talent and outstanding official position, Zhu Di refused to question him and resumed his official position.Soon, he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The ministers in Zhu Di's period were divided into several camps, including those in Zhu Yuanzhang's period, those in the Jianwen Emperor's period, and Zhu Di's own close ministers.

A minister like Huang Fu, if he behaved like the light, with his tail between his legs, might have a good result, but because he was responsible, he was framed by many opponents.

Chen Ying impeached Huang Fu for not caring about craftsmen, so he was changed to Beijing Xingbu Shangshu.The next year, he was arrested and sent to Jinyi Prison because of repeated sittings, and was later demoted to be an official.Soon, he resumed his official position, and was responsible for the governor's salary because the Ming army attacked Annan.

With Wenchen in charge of the general logistics officer of the Southern Expedition Army, Huang Fu still did a very good job.After Annan was pacified, the Ming Dynasty changed Annan to Jiaozhi.Zhu Di ordered Huang Fu to take the title of Shangshu and concurrently serve as the Chief Envoy of the Jiaozhi Cheng Xuanzheng Envoy and the Si Yancha Envoy, and became a famous frontier official in the Ming Dynasty.

Civil officials who can do things like this are what Zhu Zhanji really wants to reuse. Although he can't get in touch with the government, he has been looking for these capable officials inside and outside the court and recorded them.

As for those who only like to talk, they should stay where they are cool.
