Daming heir

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the world are divided according to their household registration.

It is also decided that, when taking the imperial examination, the scholars and above will receive preferential treatment, exempt from miscellaneous labor, taxes, available slaves, and decent officials, etc., which are beyond the privileges of Li Shu.

In the situation where there is a radish and a pit above the court, most of the scholars who participate in the imperial examination are not for the so-called family, country and world affairs, but just to obtain these well-known or unspoken items. privilege.

With the help of these preferential treatments and privileges, these people can accumulate primitive capital more easily than ordinary people, and then form a snowball-like situation.

Occupying fields, oppressing self-cultivating farmers to become tenants, collecting donations, and avoiding taxes.

After several generations of management, several families have married for generations, and the local area has become the world of these families.

All kinds of preferential treatment for those with fame and fame under the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty were cancelled.

This is undoubtedly a change in the policy of the whole country, and its impact is far greater than that of convicting the Kong family.

There are 10 people involved, and these 10 people are the real participants in the distribution of interests in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi's expression changed rapidly from surprise at the beginning to worry later.

This is undoubtedly adding fire to Yingtian City, which is already on fire at this moment.

"The world's scholars will be shaken and furious."

Zhu Gaochi gasped in amazement, his eyes flickering constantly: "The Kong family is just a memorial archway, and it doesn't matter if it collapses. The preferential treatment of the gentry's fame is what they really care about."

"Do you know why the former Song Dynasty innovated repeatedly and failed repeatedly?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Ying Tiancheng whose outline became more and more obvious in his sight, and spoke softly.

The lights all over the city illuminate the stone city under Zhongshan Mountain, and the shimmering light is sprinkled on the river with the moonlight, like a dream and an illusion.

Even if you are far away on the river, you seem to be able to hear and see the singing and dancing of the Qinhuai River ten miles away.

It seems to have the sound of bells ringing in the old Song Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi was about to speak, but he was silent when he opened his mouth. He blinked, looked at Zhu Yunxi, and said, "Why do you fail so often?"

Zhu Yunxi turned around and looked at Xiaopang: "Utopian national policy reform."

"fantasy?"

Zhu Gaochi muttered in a low voice.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "The king thinks that he can win the court by relying on his own will, but he doesn't know that they also need a solid foundation."

"Reformists?" Zhu Gaochi asked tentatively.

"That's true." Zhu Yunxi responded, and continued: "There are billions of people in the world, all of them come and go. The Ming Dynasty is not the former Song Dynasty. The founding of the Ming Dynasty is only 28 years old. This is the right time."

Zhu Gaochi's thinking began to diverge, covering what happened in recent years.

He tentatively said: "My founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, those martial arts students who have gone out of the martial arts hall?"

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face.

He patted Xiaopang on the shoulder: "Since ancient times, innovation has never been accomplished. My Ming Dynasty is different because we have staunch supporters.

So what if the Kong family is destroyed?So what if the preferential treatment of those who are famous in the world is cut off?
Did my family rely on them to win the world?If you didn't rely on it yesterday, you can abandon it today.

The civil officials thought that if the world left them, the world would be in chaos and the people would be in dire straits.During this trip to Henan Road, I also had doubts and hesitation, lest the officials would not live well, and the people would not be at peace.

However, the result was very good. The departments of Henan Province were greatly changed, and within a month or so, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, returning to the old days. "

Zhu Gaochi's eyes became brighter and brighter, but in this dark night, they were extremely clear.

He can see and hear exactly where Ying Tiancheng will go from here.

If you win civil servants and fame, you will be treated preferentially, and you will be suppressed by meritorious generals. With a sword in hand, the world will be peaceful.

However, Zhu Gaochi still asked the last question: "Giving one more favor than another, and one weakening the other, I am afraid that there will be a risk of imbalance. Civil officials involve military generals, and military generals balance civil officials, so that the old things of the former Song Dynasty can be restored. If civil officials are suppressed, there may be the former Tang dynasty. But if there is no great profit, the meritorious military generals will not do their best, and they will even collude with civil officials in private."

"Former Qin, former Han, former Tang, former Song." Zhu Yunxi said about the dynasties that have left rich records in the annals of history: "There are countless established laws for today's people to choose from."

The established methods implemented by countless dynasties and dynasties are sliding in Zhu Gaochi's mind like a slide.

This is one of the many benefits of reading more books.

After some thorough thinking, Zhu Gaochi was a little uncertain, and asked in a low voice, "Qin Fa?"

After several dynasties, the only possibility that Zhu Gaochi can determine is Qin Fa.

And right now.

Outside the merchant ship, there was a sound of water.

Beside the ship's side were a few people under Tian Mai's men, looking at the fast boat calling from the dark night, when the fast boat leaned against the hull of the merchant ship, accompanied by the muffled sound of the boat and the waves, those people were Putting his hands on the side of the boat, he turned over and jumped off.

It didn't take long to see that the fast boat carrying people had moved away from the merchant ship and was heading towards Yingtian City on the south bank.

……

In Yingtian City, the music of the Qinhuai River never stops throughout the night.

The east city is quiet, the west city is barren, the south city is full of common people, and the middle city is full of powerful people.

Around the county government office in Shangyuan County, half of the powerful officials above the court gathered, and the houses were seated with high gates.

A few dark shadows, under the invisible Qinhuai River, passed through the bright places of the streets and hidden in the alleys, startled a few civet cats screaming.

Infrequently, there was the sound of porcelain falling to the ground in a courtyard.

For a moment, it seemed that there was a tacit agreement, and people's quarrels came from the mansions and courtyards.

It's just that the noise quickly subsided.

But under the darkness of night, more people had trouble falling asleep.

……

hum!
It was dark the next day.

The long morning bell echoed up and down Zhongshan, inside and outside Yingtian City.

When the morning bell rang, Ying Tiancheng woke up from the night.

There is no rain in the south of the Yangtze River today. As the sky is slightly cooler, the morning light shines on the ground, illuminating the cloudless sky, which seems to indicate that today will probably be a sunny day.

The common people get up early and start to be busy with the complicated affairs of the day.

Yexiang's car rushed out of the city with a full load before the crowds came in and out.

There is also mountain spring water outside the city, which is pulled by a water cart and enters the city from a different gate from the Yexiang chariot.

On West Chang'an Avenue, the officials who had been forced to ask for sick leave yesterday, and who were self-confessed and confined at home, put on a full set of court uniforms early on, gathered here from all over the city, and lined up to the right gate of Chang'an in silence. and go.

The Imperial Army guarding under the right gate of Chang'an suddenly felt bad.

Someone stepped forward to stop the leading official.

"Everyone, there is no court meeting today, the crown prince summoned the courtiers in the East Palace, where are you going?"

This question is a bit much.

Once you enter the West Chang'an Gate, you are going to the palace.

However, the imperial guards looked at the officials in court uniform all over the West Chang'an Avenue, but they didn't dare to ask them what they wanted to do.

"The law of the Ming Dynasty, all officials can enter the imperial city, please face the saint."

The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army who stepped forward to stop the inquiry turned to look at the chief banner officer under the city gate.

The Chief Banner Officer was a little uncertain, nodded, explained a few words to his subordinates, and then turned around and entered the right gate of Chang'an first.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers stopped blocking them, the officials didn't say much, they just walked into the city gate silently.

After passing the right gate of Chang'an, go straight to Chengtian Gate and walk to the Meridian Gate behind Duanmen.

When the officials arrived in front of the Meridian Gate, they saw that a group of imperial city guards had formed five human walls and blocked the Meridian Gate.

"The forbidden area of ​​the palace, you are not allowed to enter unless you are called."

A general in armor stepped forward, looked coldly at the officials rushing towards him in a crowd, and yelled loudly.

Behind the human wall, more Jinyiwei officers and soldiers filed out from both sides, along the entire corridor of the imperial city, from under the Meridian Gate to behind the Duanmen.

"Da Ming Law, officials of this dynasty, all can play to invite face saints."

"Chen, please play today, Miansheng!"

A green-robed Beijing official stepped out from the crowd, looked at the generals of the forbidden army who were blocking the Meridian Gate, and shouted.

"Your Majesty has no call today, everyone please go back."

Seeing that officials in big red robes had already appeared in front of the Meridian Gate, the officers and soldiers of the imperial army who were ordered to stop them swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied in a restrained tone.

Just looking forward, is a tremor.

I'm afraid that half of the court officials have already arrived, and there are more officials coming to the Meridian Gate.

The general shouted, but no one answered.

Before the officials and the imperial guards, there was a lot of vacancy. The officials present were divided according to their grades, and silently knelt on the ground.

At this time, it is completely different from the time when the court was in the past, and the reminders from the supervisory censors are still needed. Everyone knows where they should be.

"What should I do? I'm afraid these people won't leave?"

The general of the Imperial Army looked at Jin Yiwei Qianhu who was walking over, and asked in a low voice.

The Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi Qianhu official who was present looked gloomy at the officials kneeling in front of the Meridian Gate, and snorted coldly in a low voice: "They are persecuting Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, Qianhu Guan took a meaningful look at the general of the Forbidden Army.

The general of the imperial army immediately changed his mouth and said: "I am ordered by the commander to be on duty at the Meridian Gate, and all matters in the court are ordered by the saint."

Jin Yiwei wanted to take people directly, but the imperial army was unwilling to cooperate.

The Qianhu officer could only hum a few times, then turned his head to look at more and more Dahongpao in front of him.

"The important place in the imperial city, if you dare to obstruct and disturb the holy majesty, you will be dealt with according to the law of the Ming Dynasty. I advise you to disperse as soon as possible."

In the front row was a relatively young Dahongpao, who raised his head and glanced contemptuously at Qianhu Guan.

There were no words.

However, everything goes without saying.

Qian Huguan's expression darkened in an instant, and he pressed the palm of his left hand on the handle of the Xiuchun knife, turning it silently.

He was about to step forward when his right arm was pulled.

When the Qianhu officer turned his head, he saw the general of the forbidden army shaking his head calmly: "Arresting them now will only help them to gain fame, and even fell into their trick."

After finishing speaking, the general of the Forbidden Army let go of the Jinyiwei Qianhu Officer, turned around and walked in front of the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army under his command.

"Keep your heads up and chest out!"

"This is the Meridian Gate, the most important place in the imperial city, don't let your Majesty's majesty fall!"

The officers and soldiers who formed the human wall immediately held their heads high.

"Da Ming is mighty!"

The orderly voice of the army echoed in the corridors of the imperial city, and went straight to the sky.

……

The fact that the officials gathered at the Meridian Gate and knelt quietly spread throughout the entire Yingtian City in an instant, reaching the ears of those who should know.

The six parts are messed up.

The five temples are in chaos.

The three jurisprudence is in chaos.

The entire Yingtian City was in chaos.

Those ministers who were not present were all panicked.

In just half a day's work, there are countless yamen. The desks and cases in the main hall are in a mess, and the tables, chairs and benches were kicked over by angry officials.

Then, these people were extremely helpless, put on official hats and uniforms, and led the people to the Meridian Gate.

"They are forcing the palace by kneeling quietly."

In the east corner of the gate tower of the Meridian Gate, where you can't see it from a lower place, Zhu Yu, dressed in the prince's uniform, puts his hands in his sleeves, and with a bit of ridicule on his face, he stretches his head to look at the man kneeling quietly under the palace wall. officers.

Afterwards, he looked sideways, and surrounded by a group of guards in brocade clothes and dark guards, wearing a dewy Zhu Yunxi, he let out a light sigh: "You didn't tell anyone when you returned to Beijing, you just came back so quietly. "

After finishing speaking, Zhu Xi turned his head again and looked at Xie Jin who rushed over from Wenyuan Pavilion.

He turned his eyes and hummed twice.

Zhu Shangbing, who entered the city with Zhu Yunxi early in the morning among the common people, muttered to the side: "There is a saying in the art of war, and there are deceitful ways. The only thing you need is a surprise."

Snapped.

Zhu Shangbing, who had just finished mumbling, was already grinning and baring his teeth, holding his head tightly with his hands, shrinking his neck, and looked at his father unconvinced.

Looking at the sunlight shining down from Zhongshan Mountain, Zhu Yunxi dragged his shadow on the city wall for a long time, and said softly: "It's still early, this is just the beginning."

Zhu Xing said coldly: "They deliberately added eye drops to the old man. I think they just don't want the Kong family to be convicted."

Zhu Yunxi turned his head and glanced at the second uncle.

"Second uncle, do you think so?"

Zhu Xi's pupils shrank, and he turned to look at the Duanmen on the south side of the Meridian Gate: "Look, all these people are here."

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Yingtian City is huge, and our family is not stingy. Since they want to kneel, let them kneel here."

After speaking, Zhu Yunxi stepped forward two steps to the city wall, pressed his hands on the bricks of the city wall, and looked down at the Meridian Gate.

This is just a silent kneeling of all officials.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, it may be rare, but in the future it will only be a rare and common thing.

No matter what the reason is, officials can come here to kneel quietly and silently protest against the emperor who they think has done wrong.

If he could get a royal scepter and survive, he would immediately become famous and become famous in the official circles and scholars.

It doesn't matter if you don't resist, the descendants of the family can also get a rich legacy.

Naturally, Zhu Xi didn't care how long these officials would kneel here.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi's mood was not bad, he stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Since we're all back, shouldn't we go to the old man to say hello, and then go back to the East Palace?"

Zhu Yunxie turned around, facing the second uncle with a bright smile on his face: "Second Uncle, I heard that Grandpa has placed Jingcha's errand on your shoulders, you have to hurry up, isn't this evidence today, turn around and you One by one according to the list of accountability."

Zhu Xi couldn't help but blushed a little, seeing that her thoughts had been broken, she didn't care about that, and said, "Then are you going to pay your respects or not?"

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi was already walking down the city wall.

Hearing this, he raised his arm with his back to Zhu Xi and waved it.

Zhu Xi stared dumbfounded at Zhu Yunxi who had disappeared from the city wall, and turned to look at his silly son beside him.

"Brother Xi, are you going or not?"

Zhu Shangbing held his mouth and hummed twice: "I'm dizzy..."

After finishing speaking, he ignored his own father, shook his head, put on a dizzy look, and babbled and left under the city wall.
