Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 454 A new beginning

Whether human nature is inherently good or human nature is inherently evil, Zhu Youxiao has never struggled with this aspect. He has experienced a lot and has seen a lot. If he wants to eliminate certain bad phenomena, he can only follow the rules and systems. Get started.

Even if there are clear rules and systems that need to be implemented by people, they will inevitably be affected by human sophistication, and then there will be favoritism. But how can there be absolute fairness in this world?

When the fundamental power of rule is accepted and recognized by the general public and can ensure relative fairness on a large level, that is what the supreme ruler has to do.

Without a hierarchical ruling order, social development cannot be maintained for a long time, and wars will continue to occur.

Qianqing Palace in the middle of the night.

"The clan mansion is now going to be up and running again. Changshou, I have decided to give you some more responsibilities. From now on, you will take on the post of General Director of Zuo Division."

On the Arhat bed next to the window, Zhu Youxiao said to Zhu Yujian while eating dinner, which made Zhu Yujian look excited after hearing this.

"Is what your Majesty said true?"

Zhu Yujian couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Let me take charge of the Zuosi of the Zongren Mansion, then will I also be able to participate in the training of the Emperor Mingzong's army in the future?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled, glanced at Zhu Yujian and said: "You will be the chief minister of the Zuo Division of the clan from now on. Do you want to accept boring daily training like an ordinary clan?"

"Director Zuo is in charge of the selection, examination, military system, and training of the Emperor Ming Zong's army. You have to take care of the above-mentioned people and study in Qianqing Palace. Where do you have time to train?"

Zhu Yujian looked regretful.

"Okay, once you complete all your training in Qianqing Palace, I will arrange for you to go to the military for training."

How could Zhu Youxiao not know that Zhu Yujian liked martial arts? What's more, Zhu Yujian would move overseas in the future, so he couldn't leave behind any experience in military and political affairs.

"I accept the order and thank you!"

Zhu Yujian put down his bowls and chopsticks excitedly, hurriedly got off the Arhat bed, and bowed to Zhu Youxiaozuo.

"Don't mention the word thank you in front of me."

Zhu Youxiao put down his bowl and chopsticks, frowned and said: "I can't write two Zhus in one stroke. I will let you take any position, but the premise is that you are strong enough. This is earned by your ability. If you don't have the ability, then Even if you thank me every word, I still can’t reuse you.”

"I understand."

Zhu Yujian responded, and then under Zhu Youxiao's gaze, Sanshan scratched his head and laughed.

After the reorganization of the Zongren Mansion, Zhu Youxiao valued three major aspects, a money bag, a gun barrel, and a pen holder. As for the patriarchal etiquette system that restrained the clan clan, this was the foundation of the Zongren Mansion, and it must be based on It's strict, the rules are clear from the beginning, so there's no need to spell them out separately.

In order to ensure the effective operation of the Zongren Mansion, the above three items are the top priority. In particular, the Zongren Mansion has jurisdiction over the Emperor Ming Zong Army, which can be deployed without restrictions. There is only one Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so this part of the military power must be defined. It should be clearly divided to avoid anyone trying to take advantage of it.

Just like the daily management of the Zongren Mansion, Zongjun of different sizes will be mobilized to implement it. There is a limit to the size of the Zongjun that can be dispatched by the corresponding government office. If it exceeds this scope of authority, it must be reported step by step. Even if it is a clan order, this red line cannot be overstepped!

The responsibilities of Zuosi under the Zongren Mansion. A simple summary is to select the best among the Zongjun and eliminate those who want to fish in troubled waters. Don’t think that if you join the Emperor Ming Zongjun, everything will be easy. The elimination system for the last place, Zhu It is up to the school to implement it.

After all, the responsibilities that Emperor Ming Zongjun has to shoulder are too heavy.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao has also made clear the size of the Huang Ming Zong Army. It is currently 30,000 soldiers, and no matter how it develops in the future, it will not exceed 50,000 soldiers!

It is more than enough to manage the vassal clans in the Ming Dynasty and open up promotion channels for the lower-level clans. Any more will not be stable.

"Brother Imperial, what are you going to do?" Seeing Zhu Yujian so excited, Zhu Youjian, who was sitting next to him, looked at his imperial brother with his bowl and chopsticks in hand.

"You have errands too."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said to Zhu Youjian: "You have to wait a little longer before you can go on the errands of the Zongren Mansion. You are too young, but you have to do what I am going to say next. You will be there in a while." Some people have entered the Yangxin Palace and will come with you to Qianqing Palace for further training."

"You have to lead them to familiarize themselves with the rules of the Forbidden City. When they enter the Forbidden City, don't let me rank them based on their seniority. They have only one identity, and that is students."

"Here!"

Zhu Youjian responded immediately. Although he did not have a post in the clan mansion like Zhu Yujian, Zhu Youjian was still very happy to get a new job. At least he can help his royal brother take care of things!

"Your Majesty, who wants to live in Yangxin Palace and study in Qianqing Palace?"

Zhu Yujian said curiously.

Currently, he and Zhu Youjian were the only two people living in the Yangxin Palace. Zhu Yujian was really curious as to who would be studying in the palace with them.

The Yangxin Palace is a separate palace complex in the Forbidden City. It is next to the Qianqing Palace and separated from the harem by several palace forbidden areas. On weekdays, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian usually go to the Qianqing Palace for further study. There is so much to learn, and the rules in the palace are also the strictest.

Not to mention anything else, just what Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Emperor, did in the palace on weekdays would be recorded and kept in a book by a dedicated person.

No rules, no standards.

Zhu Youxiao selected a group of malleable talents from the vassal clan and let them live in the Forbidden City. The purpose was to make them change, not to lord it over others!

Zhu Youxiao put down his bowl and chopsticks and said: "Zhu Shihong, the king of Su, Zhu Youdong, the king of Ji, Zhu Changxi, the king of Lu, Zhu Ciyan, the eldest son of King Jing, Zhu Zhuohong, the eldest son of King Qing, Zhu Yihuang and Zhu Yipai of the lineage of King Lu, King of Liao Zhu Shugui of the same lineage, Zhu Cixuan, the concubine of King Jing, you are the first to study in Qianqing Palace, don’t be overtaken by those who come after you.”

so many people.

Zhu Yujian raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was inevitably surprised in his heart.

"The oldest of these people is over ten years old, and the youngest is five or six years old. When they reach adulthood, they will leave the Forbidden City."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "From now on, those who study in Qianqing Palace, I will not let people enter the Forbidden City easily, so you must study hard and don't let me down."

"My brother obeys the order."

"The minister obeys the order!"

According to Zhu Youxiao's vision, the group of people selected to study in the Qianqing Palace should either be pioneers in moving overseas, just like Zhu Yujian, to expand territory for the Zhu family and the Ming Dynasty, or they should stay in the mainland. As a minister of the king, like Zhu Youjian, he assists himself in governing the country.

The people of the Zhu family cannot just be used as walk-ins, outstanding leaders must shoulder corresponding responsibilities and burdens.

"Brother Emperor, are we going to study in the sect in the future? Or go to the Huangming sect army to train?"

Zhu Youjian thought for a while, looked at his royal brother and said: "Right now, a group of sect disciples have come to Beijing to report to the sect school, and there are also a group of lower-level sect disciples who have come to Beijing and been arranged to be trained in the Xishan Camp. .”

"It depends on your performance."

Zhu Youxiao said: "If you study in Qianqing Palace and do not meet my satisfaction, let alone go to Zongxue or Zongjun for training, you will have to move out of the Forbidden City. Then you can become idle people."

"Your abilities are not bad. If you are not satisfied with me, then there is only one possibility. If you are lax, and you don't even value yourself, then I can only choose to give up."

At this time, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian both felt nervous, and secretly said in their hearts that they must be more diligent in the future. It would be really embarrassing to be kicked out of the Forbidden City!

"Okay, you can have dinner, I have to deal with government affairs."

Seeing that their expressions had changed, Zhu Youxiao smiled, stood up and walked towards the imperial court, "What I just said is just to spur you on, but don't put the cart before the horse. It's time to rest, to learn, and to combine work and rest." it's the best."

"Brother Chen understands."

"I understand."

The two of them stood up and bowed.
