King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

An adult nearby said, "What happened? Mr. Song, you are a high-tech person, why are you interested in this kind of thing?"

Zhu Youjian once said, don't be superstitious.

Zhu Youjian often told Wang Chengen that he was a superstitious person and needed to change his old-fashioned ideas.

Wang Chengen asked Zhu Youjian again: "Your Majesty, what is this superstition all about?"

Wang Chengen knew that what Zhu Youjian said about superstition was bad, but if he didn't point it out, Wang Chengen would not have thought that it was superstition.

He can't figure it out!
Zhu Youjian was stunned. Of course he couldn't tell Wang Chengen that the emperor was superstitious, nor could he regard the Ming Dynasty as a real dynasty.

How could anyone in this world betray me? It's simply a joke.

Zhu Youjian thought for a long time before he came up with the superstition of that era.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youjian sorted out his thoughts and answered briefly:
"In fact, superstition is not that complicated. It is just a negative statement that represents our superstition about tradition!"

He sounded like he understood what he said, but he also didn't understand it. Anyway, Wang Chengen only remembered half of it and told the matter to others.

Song Yingxing stared at the man in front of him, and the two of them stared at each other.

Song Yingxing just mentioned it casually, but Huo Shaoheng took advantage of it and regarded it as his life-saving straw.

How boring!

This sentence touched Lord Song's heart. His meaning was very clear, he was just mocking him!
Song Yingxing replied: "Sir, I am not superstitious. Although it is what our ancestors said, it does make some sense."

"This heavy snow indicates a good harvest, because in winter, the thicker the snow, the more likely it is that the insects in the soil will be killed, so that next year's crops will not be affected by pests and the harvest will be smoother. "The people all have sweet food, and food is the first necessity of the people. Isn't this a blessing for our Ming Dynasty?"

When the adults heard this, they were heartbroken.

Song Yingxing just smiled and waited outside the door with a serious look. Everyone knelt at the door.

……

Three quarters of an hour later, there was a sound of metal clashing, and Zhu Youjian walked out of the room.

Uh……

When they saw the emperor, everyone bowed.

"Welcome the Emperor!"

The ministers looked at Zhu Youjian, all of them were somewhat puzzled.

He was in a very complicated mood because he found that the emperor looked really different now.

Dressed in white, spotless. She was very beautiful, with sword-like eyebrows and eyes like paintings. Compared with Zhu Youjian, who was unkempt and unkempt, such clothes were already very good.

All in all, his lips are rosy and healthy! A sparkling soul

Just when everyone thought that Zhu Youjian was going to wear that simple clothes, Queen Zhou draped a golden robe on Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian did not seem to be disgusted or reject it, he just put on the imperial robe.

After saying that, he took a piece of jade stone carved with dragon patterns from the table beside him and put it on his head.

Fu Zheng's eyes were full of heroic spirit.

When everyone saw this scene, they were all surprised. The gap was really too big.

Zhu Youjian's sudden change made everyone stunned, and then they were stunned and bowed again.

"Long live your majesty!"

The voice echoed in the Forbidden City. You Yun walked in from the back door and looked at Zhu Youjian, who was wearing the imperial robe, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Zhu Tan really has the aura of a king. The aura he exudes is like that of a real dragon!"

You Yun whispered that he was also planning for his future, and so was Zhu Youjian!

Fangyan looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the Forbidden City was covered with a thick layer of snow. Looking around, there was white snow everywhere.

It was as if the entire Forbidden City had turned into a world of ice and snow. It was an interesting feeling.

In the eyes of many people, the snow in the Forbidden City is definitely not ordinary snow, but real top-level heavy snow.

Most people have never seen it with their own eyes, let alone know that there is an emperor living in the Forbidden City.

How many people in this world can see the snowflakes in the Forbidden City?

Zhu Tan was just an ordinary person in that era, even worse than an ordinary person. Because of his status, he had never been to Beijing.

Finally, at the age of seventeen, I was admitted to a university in Beijing, but I was unable to get in because of the lack of ticket purchase.

Now that he has come to the Forbidden City, Zhu Tan finds that the snow is just like the snow in ordinary people's homes.

But, but

Ming Dynasty
The heavy snow in the Forbidden City shouldn't be enough to freeze a member of the royal family to death, right?
Even the bones on the roadside would be frozen to death by this heavy snow.

In the Forbidden City, Zhu Youjian looked up and saw pitch darkness.

In a blink of an eye, almost a year has passed.

Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Further ahead, civil and military officials were all in tattered clothes, kneeling on the ground, and the snow had piled up in layer upon layer.

Zhu Youjian sighed and thought this was really a big trouble.

"My dear ministers, my dear ministers, we are all officials of the Ming Dynasty. We have been here for a day and I am sure you are a little hungry!"

Zhu Youjian glanced at Wang Chengen and got Wang Chengen's guarantee.

After this period of contact, Wang Chengen had a better understanding of Zhu Youjian's thoughts.

Not only Wang Chengen, but even the ministers who had followed Zhu Youjian for many years guessed what Zhu Youjian wanted to do.

It is of course a happy event!
Zhu Youjian asked Wang Chengen to do one thing, which was to bring the previously prepared grill and grill, as well as the boiling hot pot.

"Your Majesty, there is not much meat left in the palace!"

Wang Chengen cursed in a low voice, full of contempt for Zhu Youjian!
Zhu Youjian smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness.

"If you can't eat meat during a barbecue, then grill vegetables and potatoes! There's no meat in the hot pot, but you can put oil in it! Add cabbage and vermicelli. I still remember one time when I was starving, I ate something delicious, which was vegetables and pork!"

Hungry? Zhu Youjian had never eaten.

Wang Chengen was somewhat puzzled, thinking that Emperor Zhu Youjian must be crazy to be so absurd. The civil and military officials did not care, they had been here for so long, and Queen Zhou would bring a bowl of ginger tea, a bowl of hot porridge, and a bowl of egg drop porridge every day, but after so many days, they really couldn't hold on any longer.

No matter what, being able to eat a hot meal is a kind of happiness.

The maids and eunuchs in the kitchen began to get busy, and the ministers also came forward to help. They left a space for them and began to carefully place the plates and shelves.

"Forgive me, ministers! The situation at court is difficult right now, so everyone should be diligent and frugal! Today, I am grateful for your loyalty to me, and I want to drink and eat with you all!"

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, everyone knelt down.

Zhu Youjian's interest was aroused, and he suddenly felt like writing poetry.

The road ahead is as hard as iron, victory after victory! The mountains are vast and the sunset is like blood.

As Zhu Youjian spoke, he sketched out a poem by a great man in his mind.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone in the audience became hot, marveling at the boldness of this poem!

What a heroic spirit!
"Your Majesty's poem is truly one with the heaven and earth. It is beyond words!"

The person who praised Zhu Youjian was Professor Guo, who had always had a bad relationship with Zhu Youjian.

Seeing the passion and sincerity in Guo Mingxiang’s eyes, he really fell in love with this poem!
There is no doubt about this! Don't you even look at who wrote this poem?

"This is not my fault, Master. I am ashamed. These are words spoken by a great man who has never been seen before. I admire him so much and take him as my role model. But after thinking about it for a long time, I find that I will never reach his level!"

This is a kind of grandeur, a vast and boundless spirit. Such spirit, such spirit, can move people and make them tremble.

Everyone took their seats, and soon everyone was seated according to their seats.

Chen Zhibao said to Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, most of the rebellion has been driven away, but those rebels have not been completely eliminated. They are still a huge threat to us!"

Zhu Youjian glanced around. The Minister of Justice, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Agriculture were all looking at him with curiosity, as if they had a lot of things to deal with.

It’s a headache just to think about it. When you wake up, you will encounter such a problem.

"I understand! I am rectifying the court! Since ancient times, kings have ruled the country with benevolence, and the country has prospered. If the country can be governed according to the law, it can save the current disaster, but it will also accelerate its demise!"

Zhu Youjian continued, saying that the first part of the sentence was said by himself, while the latter part was written down by Xiao Wu using Zhu Youjian's other half of AI.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

"In the past, I was devoted to spiritual practice and avoided government affairs. Today, I will no longer avoid it. Instead, I will discuss state affairs with all the ministers!"

Zhu Youjian picked up the wine glass and drank it all in front of his ministers.

"Everyone, we finally have a chance to meet today, why don't we discuss our Ming Dynasty."

The boiling soup covered the faces of the civil and military officials, and only their facial expressions could be seen.

Everyone raised their glasses.

Zhou Yanru had guessed Zhu Youjian's intentions through his actions, and gradually realized that Zhu Youjian was 1000% serious.

He will definitely do something big, something big, something big.

A court meeting began. The foundation is unstable, the foundation is unstable.

Everything is happening slowly.

The court officials had a great time chatting with Zhu Youjian and eating and drinking together.

Queen Zhou was drinking with the emperor, and she was talking about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty with her red lips slightly opened.

The more we talked, the deeper it got.

Zhu Youjian asked Wang Chengen to bring him a pen, and then he picked up the pen and recorded a series of reform matters.

First, in terms of concepts, we need to slowly break the old concepts. First, we should advocate gender equality, world peace, entrepreneurship, scientific research, and open-mindedness!
Second, in terms of specific policies and measures, we must continue to improve and implement the cabinet system. The selection of cabinet ministers is no longer decided by the emperor alone, but can be selected through the recommendation and voting of ministers. The highest head of the cabinet is recommended by civil and military officials. In this regard, Zhu Youjian made reference to the previous monarchy. It is necessary to restrain the emperor and safeguard its own interests, and not let the government become more chaotic.

The third point is that in terms of policy, the central government will maintain its power, but the evaluation of officials will be stricter. If a civil servant fails to pass the examination within the prescribed time, he will be fired.

The fourth is about the reform of land tax. Zhu Youjian and Zhu Tan knew very well that the reform of the land system would hurt many people and be a threat, and it would probably cause dissatisfaction among the great lords. Therefore, from the Song Dynasty to Fan Zhongyan, to Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty, and to many reformers later, whether it was Wang Anshi or other reformers, they would be involved in this.

It is the center of all changes, and often also its failure point and key point.

Zhu Tan was ruthless and took all the land back to the state, making them part of the country and gradually regaining control of the land. He adopted a gradual recovery method, that is, within five years, everyone had to return the ownership of the land to the government, and then redistribute it again!
In addition, he has also prepared more measures to promote his education. This is no joke. Zhu Tan grew up in such an environment, so he is very clear about his educational philosophy.

……

In the following days, Zhu Youjian and his ministers held countless meetings in the Forbidden City and outside the Altar.

Zhu Youjian and others did not rest and continued the meeting. As soon as Zhu Youjian came back, he changed the name of the Chaohui Council to a meeting.

Meeting!
After some time, the ministers realized how hardworking Zhu Youjian was.

On the first day, everyone drank and ate and talked until late at night, and Zhu Youjian finally let them go home. Zhu Youjian also specially asked someone to accompany them to ensure their safety.

Early the next morning, everyone was urgently awakened, and when daybreak came, everyone gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

On the second day, in the court, Zhu Youjian began to ask them in detail about their work and their various affairs in the court.

The ministers were unable to answer Zhu Youjian's questions one by one. Occasionally, Zhu Youjian's face changed, and then he asked again, but still no one could give an answer. So Zhu Youjian dismissed them all and created a term called suspension of examination.

Although everything that happened in the meeting hall made everyone terrified, as experienced officials, most of them had been in politics for more than ten years. Of course, they also knew that this was not a big problem.

Zhu Youjian asked a few more questions and said, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

If the emperor insisted on asking, he would just laugh it off.

If they were discussing matters, these old men could still use their eloquence to negotiate, but Zhu Youjian would ask the Jinyiwei to investigate after discussing matters. This time, the research made them feel deeply terrified.

Zhu Youjian's eyes fell on Zhu Youjian because his eyes were fixed on them.

This is really terrible!

Halfway through the meeting, the smile on Zhu Youjian's face disappeared, and at this moment, the guards suddenly appeared and arrested them all.

Zhu Youjian stood there with a smile on his face.

Zhou Yanru praised Zhu Youjian highly and found him very interesting.

In short, after this incident, no one thought Zhu Youjian was lazy anymore. Instead, he became a frighteningly diligent emperor. (End of this chapter)
