Seeing that all the scholars present were a little confused, Zeng Cheng smiled and said: "Because our emperor doesn't like to be flattered, you write a thousand and ten thousand articles to praise your majesty and Daming." The article is far less appreciated by His Majesty than doing a practical thing for the common people; because our Emperor is too strict in dealing with corruption, and will peel off criminals and corrupt officials at every turn; because we His Majesty the emperor valued most of the common people but was strict with the merchants. He replaced the taxes of ordinary people with commercial taxes, and at the same time did not allow the officials and their families to do business. Offended these officials and gentlemen."

"So, whether it's those rich merchants or officials, they all hope to see you making a fuss, and they all want to use your momentum to force His Majesty the Emperor to change course, so that Daming will return to farming as the mainstay and ordinary people's taxation as the main task. The main idea is to take the old road of ignoring business taxes, so that the officials and gentlemen can get more privileges again."

"For those wealthy businessmen and officials, it's the best if they succeed, and it doesn't matter if they fail. Anyway, they have enough background and confidence, but you are just tools used by them."

"So, they support you to make a fuss because they want to benefit, and you really make a fuss because you are stupid!"

Because you are stupid... because you are stupid... This sentence is like a loud slap in the face, directly slapped on the faces of a group of scholars. Even though Zizi was furious, he couldn't find a word to refute Zeng Cheng, so he could only let his face be slapped like a monkey's ass.

After a while, the leading scholar couldn't help but let out a long sigh, bowed to Emperor Zhu, and said: "Your Majesty, the students are too stupid. If it weren't for Your Majesty and Mr. Zeng Ge, I am afraid that the students will be killed." I hope His Majesty will severely punish you for causing a catastrophic disaster!"

Emperor Zhu sneered and did not speak, but one of the scholars also bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the students have realized their mistakes, and I hope that your Majesty will be magnanimous and forgive the students this time. It will be useful to keep the students I will serve Daming in the future."

Hearing a student openly begging for mercy, Zeng Cheng wished he could rush to the crowd of scholars and beat the idiot who begged for mercy to death—thousands of students were mobilized to gather around the Forbidden City and cry at the palace. This horse riding is a typical example. Forcing the palace is considered a crime of disrespect in any dynasty, and it can even be counted as treason if it is cruel. At this time, beg for mercy?
Grace comes from above, you bastard!
Since His Majesty, the old man, chose to come out to meet you students, it means that His Majesty, the old man, didn't really intend to kill, at least he didn't think about killing thousands of you students, but you begged for mercy , the nature of this matter has once again turned into leading the crowd to force the emperor to grant an amnesty, this motherfucker is lighting a lantern in the toilet, looking for shit!

But before Zeng Cheng could figure out how to intercede for these students, Emperor Zhu let out a chuckle, walked up to the head of the scholar, looked him up and down, and said, "I remember you, You are a student who was admitted to Zhili University from Liaodong Chief Envoy. Your parents are farming for a living. You have been able to study until now. Firstly, it depends on your parents to provide for you. Second, relying on your own grades, not only After getting the nanshan silver, I was able to be sent to the Imperial College to study."

The scholar who was a scholar was slightly taken aback, then bowed slightly, and said: "Students are panicked."

Emperor Zhu said: "Why are you afraid? Although I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am also the registered head of the Imperial College. I always know a little about students who perform better."

That has to be known. It has little to do with the importance of talents, but has a lot to do with Jin Yiwei's information-for these students who took the lead in crying, Ke Zhiming sent all their relevant information to the palace. It's strange that Emperor Zhu didn't know.

Smiling slightly, Emperor Zhu cast his eyes on the scholar who begged for mercy: "I also know you, although your family is not a wealthy family, but among all the living beings, your family conditions are considered to be rich. excellent."

The scholar who begged for mercy also bowed and said: "The students are panicked."

However, Emperor Zhu was not as easy to talk as before this time. Instead, he sneered and asked: "What do you think of me treating you and other students? Can I feel sorry for you? Therefore, Song Wenzheng once said: A family cry Why cry all the way! What do you think of how I treat the gentry and merchants in the world, but can I feel sorry for them? Can I make them cry every family?"

A series of questions directly confused the begging scholar.

It is actually quite easy to understand what a family is crying, crying all the way, etc. After all, they are all students who have been admitted to the university or even the Imperial College, and some historical allusions are still known.

During the Song Dynasty, the area was divided into certain roads, such as Jingxi Road, Jingdong Road, Hebei Road, and Hedong Road. In the Ming Dynasty, it was a certain chief minister, which is not the same as Haitang Road and Jianshe Road. one thing.

Therefore, the "crying of the family" mentioned by Fu Bi refers to the family members of the dismissed officials who will cry because they are dismissed from office. Therefore, when some incompetent officials cry, it does not mean that the people on the road cry.

But it is useless to know this historical allusion, because what Emperor Zhu asked was whether he had made all the sages and gentry of the country cry.

For a while, Zeng Cheng didn't even know whether it was his old eyesight that made a mistake, or whether Liu Huaiwen and Liu Shangshu were driven crazy by the news that the two would cost a lot of money!

After confirming again and again that there was nothing wrong with his eyes, Zeng Cheng couldn't help comforting Liu Huaiwen: "Liu Butang, even if you spend money this time, it shouldn't be too much. This treasury..."

Liu Heming also said in a low voice: "Actually... In fact, it really doesn't cost a lot of money to fight the Japanese country, Liu Butang, you..."

This time it was Liu Huaiwen's turn to be dumbfounded.

Hearing the figure roughly calculated by Liu Huaiwen, Liu Heming's voice suddenly became three points lower: "Actually... it's not impossible to save."

Actually neither.

Mr. Liu has been thinking about the Iwami Silver Mine and Lingkari Gold Mine in the Wa Kingdom from the beginning to the end!

He is his mother!

Now those good people and untouchables of the Wa country are hiding around the Ming merchants, what can the shogunate do?
In case those Ming businessmen are angered, and those Ming businessmen are provoked to fight against the shogunate, the shogunate will be the one who will be unlucky in the end!
The more he thought about it, the more entangled he became, Tokugawa Ieqi simply frowned and asked, "Have you negotiated with those merchants from the Ming Dynasty? Are they not afraid of being infected with leprosy?"

In the era when the squeamish patients were rampant in the later generations, the dogs raised by the silly thieves always used "what's the matter with this country, ask the body" as an example.

What kind of path should Daming take?

Change to Europa's so-called separation of powers?
In fact, this kind of thinking can only be thought about. If this game is really put in the entrance of the Central Plains, it will be a big death.

It is too complicated to analyze the specific reasons in depth, but in the final analysis, it is the word of interest after all.

You chose it.

In fact, this is also the reason why the savages like Europa and Silly Eagle are generally big-hearted.

Because there has never been a truly unified dynasty in Europe, the barbarians are also accustomed to the mentality of a small country with few people, and they are also accustomed to the small court system.

So is the bear—how about the Bolsheviks?it is good!The key is that human beings have desires!
Of course, this kind of gameplay is not a problem in normal times. After all, even the people in the halls of the Central Plains seem to be the same, and they don't look different.

However, once disasters like Little Ice River occur frequently, or when the people really can't survive, the difference between the big and small courts will appear.

Of course, Silly Eagle is not much better than Europa, otherwise, Bai Zhenhua would not be on the throne, let alone the big joke that Silly Eagle's internal opening film started with Ermao.

However, the Bolsheviks, who are also under the great court system, may not be able to use it directly.

There is a huge hidden danger in directly copying the Bolshevik theory, that is, Ming Dynasty does not have the living environment for that theory.

Of course, it cannot be said that this theory is wrong, because all countries in the world preach it in this way.

Wouldn't it be better to fight for the dragon and destroy the thief than to serve those mud legs wholeheartedly as servants?
At that time, the Tangkou of the Central Plains had not yet experienced the pain of complete national annihilation.

Especially when the emperor is slowly delegating power, the cabinet can even directly replace the role of the emperor.

Because Emperor Zhu directly clarified the status of the cabinet in the world.

But the power belongs to the power, and the cabinet elders who can actually lead the six ministries are not of high rank.

There is nothing to say about Yushitai, their main duty is to spray people, and the emperor, civil and military officials are all the targets they want to keep an eye on.

However, the final interpretation power of Daming Law lies with the Ministry of Punishment.

In short, there are all kinds of messy departments, and the responsibilities of each other are also very clear. They should not only support each other, but also restrict each other.

Want to regain your rights by changing phases?
First of all, Jin Yiwei has to find the criminal evidence of the chief minister, and then Yushitai has to initiate impeachment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will convict him. Only after going through this process can he change his appearance. If there is a process that cannot be completed, the chief minister will Can't change it.

And the term of office of the chief ministers and cabinet elders is fixed, starting from the date of joining the cabinet, five years as one term, and a maximum of two terms. This is the iron law that Emperor Zhu directly decided to die. Changes are not allowed.

In addition, the Daming law emphasizes that there is no prohibition in the law, and by the way, it has formulated a lot of suppression policies against clans and wealthy businessmen. In addition to the protection of ordinary people, it is also reflected in the law. Farmers' associations have also taken on part of the responsibilities.

This put the state system of Daming in a very delicate state: it looks very beautiful, and it can almost be regarded as a model of Xu Jun. Except for an emperor, the rest can be regarded as pure cooking oil. It can even be said that it is running in an almost perfect posture.

However, Emperor Zhu knew very well in his heart that this kind of perfection was basically bullshit.

Even the rabbit set is not perfect!
Whether it was the beheading of the two horses with tears at the beginning, or the fact that the rich first did not want to drive the rich later and even wanted to reach out to the court, these things all exist objectively!

This is also the reason why Emperor Zhu has been delegating power to the court but has never relaxed Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Yushi Yumen - the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not so enlightened!Relax a little bit, and they'll poke big holes!

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhu couldn't help laughing at himself.

No matter how I am, I am not a god. How can I solve those long-standing things?
After laughing at himself, Emperor Zhu simply said: "What I want to say today is very simple, one is to destroy all those green skins who have settled down, and since none of them are willing to live a good life, then throw them on the construction site After a few days of hard life, especially those bastards who run amok in the countryside and even have illegal activities, they are directly dragged to the target."

"The second thing is that those workshop owners who don't want to make good money but want to oppress the people, those who deserve to be killed, those who deserve to be killed, let them have a day of fun, and I don't know how many people will be bullied by them Scourge."

Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs who were present at the scene knew very well that when Emperor Zhu used the word "we" to refer to himself, there was usually no big problem. "This word, it probably means killing intent.

After Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs all bowed down, Emperor Zhu turned his attention to Zeng Cheng: "Zeng Qing has been the prime minister for almost 30 years, right?"

This former magistrate of the Qing Dynasty who took the initiative to go to the emperor Zhu when he was in Menglianggu, because of his own ability, ability to understand the instructions of Emperor Zhu, and the speed of handling them, had already become the first emperor in the year when Emperor Zhu became emperor. The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty has been serving for 26 years. The reason for this situation is not that Zeng Cheng refused to resign, nor that Emperor Zhu insisted on keeping Zeng Cheng to break the rules he set. But Emperor Zhu had already been the Holy Emperor for 20 years when he formulated this regulation.

In other words, Zeng Cheng, the chief minister, can continue to work for another four years, and then he has to get out of the position of chief minister honestly, and then he can no longer hold other positions with real power, so he can only be honest. Really stay in the capital or go back to your hometown to support the elderly.

Of course, Daming's treatment of meritorious officials has always been good. Although they are no longer the first and assistant ministers, Yi Ying is still treated as the first and assistant ministers, and even has a title of title.
