The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 355 The Emperor's Edict
"You help me back to the inner hall." Seeing that it was already dark, Emperor Chengyuan rubbed his shoulders and said to the prince, "I'm afraid I'm going to be very busy today. You are a young man and don't need to sleep much, but I need to rest. You can draw up an order for me later!

Such as rewarding the six armies, appeasing the people, renovating the imperial city, escorting criminals, arranging rewards and punishments, contacting the royal relatives and nobles, etc., are all your jobs.

Remember not to be too busy, tomorrow you will go to court on my behalf. "

"Father!" Jiang Huaiqian couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this.

Although he had already participated in political affairs on behalf of Ben, it was the first time that he represented his father in court, which made him excited, but also a little at a loss as to what to do.

"That's it!" Emperor Chengyuan stood up, walked to the prince, put his arm on his hand, and motioned him to go out together, "Let's talk about Madam Ning!
Well, didn't it mean that women pay attention to three obediences and four virtues?A woman obeys her father at home, her husband when she gets married, and her son after her husband dies.

She has made mistakes, has pleaded guilty, and has obeyed the law. It is meaningless to pursue too much. After all, she is a poor person!That being the case, it is better to hold his father, brother, husband, in-laws, and son accountable. "

Hearing his father's leisurely words, the prince immediately understood his father's intentions, and said "old and cunning" in his heart, and hurriedly listened to his instructions.

"Yang Pangui is her adopted son. He is the grandson of the former Qi emperor. He should be executed publicly together with the former Qi generals. It is even more important to let his criminal deeds be reported to the world and vent his anger for the people."

"The old protector of the country, Yang Ban, is insane, and his wife, Zhuo, is merciless; he should take back the royal title and be demoted to a commoner. Thinking that his only son, Yang Yuting, was assassinated and died early, so he retains the title of Duke Cheng'en, only for this generation. Mrs. Zhuo's family has no title. Yangban is allowed to choose his own heir, and the court will not treat him favorably."

"The first protector of the country, Yang Gong, and his wife Zhai, and his only son, Cheng Engong, Yang Han, were promoted to the Taimiao and enjoyed the incense of the Great Chu."

Prince Jiang Huaiqian agreed with the first two items, but when he heard the latter, he was a little bit critical.

It's fine that Yang Gongsheng is attached to the Taimiao, but why is his wife and only son like this?Is it possible that they can enjoy such glory just because they are the mother and siblings of Empress Yuan?

"From a legal point of view, they are also your grandparents and uncles." Seeing the crown prince's hesitation, Emperor Chengyuan looked at him with displeasure. , all children of the royal family can be replaced."

Jiang Huaiqian was shocked, he understood the warning in his father's words.

For the first time, he understood why the empress mother emphasized to him again and again that "the empress of the Yuan Dynasty is your majesty's inverse".

"My son obeys the order."

"It's good if you really obey."

Emperor Chengyuan nodded lightly.

Jiang Huaiqian hurriedly said that he did not dare to duplicity.

In this way, the waves just now were overturned.

"Father is indeed a foolish emperor!" Jiang Huaiqian honestly supported Emperor Chengyuan, but he was not convinced in his heart, and quietly slandered, "I don't know if Father is still so affectionate when Empress Yuan is still here!"

Although he is stingy, he will not get angry. He can't feel disgusted with the Empress Yuan who has never met before, but he keeps muttering to his father.

The father and son came to the inner hall, and Emperor Chengyuan sat on the couch, heaved a long sigh of relief, took the teacup sent by Yang Xun, pecked it lightly, and then continued to order:
"The Ning family is not suitable for teaching daughters, and is not worthy of teaching and educating people. Ning Gong was removed from the head of the Luming Academy, and the Luming Academy was changed to a government school, and the Ministry of Rites sent people to accept the rectification.

The Ning family was involved with Yang Pangui, the grandson of the former Qi emperor, and should have been severely punished. However, considering that the Ning family was also deceived, and that the second daughter of the Ning family's eldest daughter had done a great job in protecting the city during the military chaos, only the Ning family who were officials in the court Hurry back to the family and make them rebuild their virtues.After three generations, you can become an official. "

Jiang Huaiqian asked for a pen and paper from the servant, halfway through writing, he suddenly looked up at his father.

Father has kept black accounts for the Ning family before, right?
Now it's settled together!

"The second daughter of Ning's eldest son, who has made meritorious service in protecting the city, granted her mother a third-class gentleman; allowed her three sisters to be treated as supervisors of the Imperial College, and allowed the three of them to choose their own scientific examinations or selection of female officials."

When Jiang Huaiqian heard this, all his previous depressed mood dissipated.

He also wanted to know whether the Ning clan would continue to block women's scientific examinations from now on, or would they take advantage of the three girls from Dafang to restore the family's glory.

"This is part of the edict you are going to issue today." Emperor Chengyuan said to the prince who protested after eating up a piece of snacks.

Jiang Huaiqian saw that his father ignored his food needs, and knew that his anger was still there, so he didn't dare to talk poorly, and could only listen obediently.

Seeing that he was acting well, Emperor Chengyuan signaled his servant to prepare breakfast for the prince.

"You use more porridge and side dishes, so you can work when you are full."

Jiang Huaiqian who just picked up a steamed bun: "..."

I lost my appetite a lot after hearing this!
"Father, what about the family with the thirteen surnames? Could it be the same as the Ning family, allowing them to reduce their crimes for the righteousness done by the girls in the clan?"

Jiang Huaiqian asked humbly while holding a cup of tea to warm his hands as he was full.

He has positioned himself as his father's handyman, and it is always right to ask more about the formal arrangement.

"A family with thirteen surnames?" Emperor Chengyuan shook his head, "The family has been rooted in the Great Chu for a long time, and its power is intertwined. Many party disputes followed their shadows, and many big businessmen recognized them as the masters. Only because Yan Chen Chu The three dynasties changed naturally, and there was no chance for them to intervene, otherwise, how could they stand by and watch? They were afraid that they would dream of returning to the wantonness of turning their hands into clouds and raining their hands a thousand years ago, and wanted to be able to override the imperial power. "

"Father wants to abolish their extraordinary treatment since Yan?"

"Impunity is not enough to deter the world's aristocratic families. If you ignore the girl's serious crime because of her loyalty, I fear that others will follow her example, so bet with two hands!"

"Father wants to take this opportunity to cancel the family?"

"Cancellation?" Emperor Chengyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "My son is so naive! Aristocratic family, what is an aristocratic family?

From Yan to the present, Sheng, Zheng, and An have been handed down for [-] years. Are these three families considered aristocratic families?
There are families of civil servants who have been officials for generations. Are they considered aristocratic families?The great clans in this country have occupied the same place for generations, and the court has rotated, but they have not changed. Do you think they are aristocratic families?

The title of aristocratic family can be removed from the history books, but how do you ban and eliminate such an existence and such a family?

I'm afraid that there are fame and fortune, the temptation of power and wealth, and ambitions in this world, and this family will not be able to eliminate them.Therefore, what we have to do is to limit, to limit with rules! "

Emperor Chengyuan told Prince Jiang Huaiqian that this was one of the reasons why he valued the law.

Only the law can prevent the family from doing whatever they want.

"Only by revitalizing the chess piece that has been restrained and restricted since ancient times, the girl, can it be possible to cause turmoil in the fixed family structure."

Only when the girl's interests are realized, the two existences of "people with a foreign surname" from her husband's family and "people with a foreign surname" from her mother's family will more forcefully change the situation.

"The more scheming the family, the more active such variables will be. Only when the people below check each other can the imperial power be more stable."
