Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three It's Time to Promote the Great Ming Wu Virtue
Next, Shi Fenglai was beheaded and then peeled into the capital.
The civil servants all sighed for a moment, sighing that after the royal family stayed in Beijing and stayed at the feet of the emperor, they did feel a lot of pressure.
Although they are still civil officials in charge of the government affairs, and the royal family still has no right to inquire about the government affairs, these royal families now have the opportunity to listen to the heavens, which means that they have a more supervision.
Even Fang Congzhe said to the important officials of the Nine Ministers: "Everyone should be more law-abiding in the future. Now he is staring at us more, do things honestly and be honest!"
"I understand! What we did after the party ruled by civil servants was indeed too much [1]. Now, there are royal families, factories, civil servants, and military generals. It is good to check and balance each other, which is good for the country and the country."
Even Liu Zongzhou, who was recently promoted to the bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy and the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, replied.
The other ministers nodded as well.
Although civil officials, even the officials, nobles and military generals all knew that the capital had another force in the future because of their vassals, they had to be more cautious than before;
But for the vassals, no matter what, the corrupt official Shi Laifeng was executed because of the aggrieved vassals. This made them feel relieved and closer to Emperor Zhu Youxiao. He was willing to act as the emperor's eyes to monitor the big and small things in the capital for the emperor, especially some things that the East Factory could not see or that the East Factory could not see on purpose.
However, for Zhu Youjian, his voluntary exposure of civil servants' evil deeds was naturally considered to have offended the civil servant group.
But now he was not uneasy. After learning that Shi Laifeng was executed, he only bowed to Nanyang and said, "Sister, the corrupt official who caused you to be wronged has been executed by the emperor!"
The princess of the Changzhou Palace, who had already entered Beijing with other royal families of the Zhou Palace, also cried because of Zhu Youxiao's case to uphold justice for the royal family. He personally wrote a memorial, preparing to submit it to the imperial court, and asked the emperor to allow her to divorce Yibin Kanggui, because her Yibin was really misbehaving and was addicted to alcohol, and more importantly, she was still a castrator.
"Your Highness Princess! You can't just want me like this! I admit that I am actually a eunuch, but I spent money! You can't just drive me away! You don't give face to the court, I will go to the Ministry of Rites to sue you!"
However, Yibin Kanggui was therefore reluctant to give up when the princess of Changzhou asked him to leave the Zhou palace.
"Get out! It is the emperor's order to grant our royal family and those who are unworthy of marriage! Just go and sue."
The eldest son of the Changzhou princess, King Ruyang, came and drove Kang Gui away, which forced Kang Gui to leave in disappointment.
In short, although this reform of the vassal family caused great losses to the most powerful princes and princes in the vassal family, the princes and princes who were at the top, but for ordinary children of the royal family, they were indeed greatly relieved.
Next, Zhu Youxiao also took exams on the vassals, and selected a group of vassals who had studied in the vassal areas and were quite talented and wise to serve as official positions in the vassal family offices, and to manage the affairs of the royal family for the court.
Among them, although Zhu Youjian was still young, he was raised by the emperor himself and had the closest relationship with the emperor in the vassal state, so he served as the clan order.
Because of his good performance, Zhu Youjian became Zuo Zongzheng and assisted Zhu Youxiao in managing the affairs of the vassal state.
The right sect is Zhu Yousong.
Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Yousong had been in contact with each other for a while, and it was also obvious that Emperor Hongguang in history was a very sleek and insightful person, so he was appointed as the You Zongzheng, which happened to complement Zhu Youjian, who was still inexperienced in the world and Zhu Youjian, who offended the civil servants as soon as he entered Beijing.
...
"This is the latest report. The tyrant reformed the vassal system! All the vassal kings stayed in Beijing, and the royal family could engage in the four people's business. All the vassal lands were for the people. I knew he would do this, so I gave up the idea of supporting the vassal kings and raising an army!"
October of the fifth year of the Apocalypse.
Kugashima.
Yang Sichang handed a copy of the mansion report to Hong Chengchou.
This kind of official Ming newspaper is the only way they can understand the internal situation of the imperial court now.
After taking it, Hong Chengchou took it and looked carefully, he sighed first, and then said, "What a king of Zhongxing who is determined to reform! Ordinary kings really can't do this. If they don't centralize power in advance, hold military and financial power in their hands, and make the court officials become obedient family members first. Just by doing this, they can't mention the matter of changing the ancestral system, let alone changing it! As long as they have this intention, they will have to be replaced! But he did it!"
"Yes! You are right. Zhu Youxiao is actually the king of Zhongxing. He is tough and decisive, and does not lose his means. Therefore, he solved the problem of vassals that had dragged the court's wealth for hundreds of years in one fell swoop. But the price is that we gentry were forced overseas, otherwise we would have to accept the fate of being slaughtered by him at will. Who would be willing to do so?"
As Yang Sichang said, he threw a stone into the sea with great effort, and then said, "The operation is about to begin. Tomorrow begins, all Ming merchant ships coming to Nagasaki, regardless of official positions, will go and return, and everyone on the ship will be slaughtered!"
...
"Is the news true?"
In Damingyuan, Qinzheng Hall, Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian with a serious expression.
Wei Zhongxian nodded: "Return to the emperor! It's true! It was the news that Ye Chuchun, my Dongchang eyeliner, asked someone to bring back. After using the imperial cryptographic method used by the Dongchang, the content was indeed that the Ming people in Nagasaki, Japan would be in trouble."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but remember the Spanish slaughter of China in the Manila region during the Wanli period.
"The people who went to Nagasaki were just ordinary Ming merchants. Didn't they want to plunder the mainland? Why do they bully merchants in Nagasaki?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.
"As far as I know, it is to boycott our cotton cloth. Our cotton cloth is too good and too cheap, so the local daimyo cannot be sold. Then, the gentry who fled to Japan testified that our Ming people used cloth made by slaves, so the cloth was cheap, and the slaves caught were all Japanese. Therefore, these Japanese daimyos asked the shogunate to drive away our Ming merchants, and even asked the shogunate to retaliate against us. However, due to inconvenient contact with the news of the Japanese, Dongchang was not very clear whether it was because the Japanese shogunate believed the words of those daimyo and the gentry who fled to Japan, so they had to deal with our merchants."
Wei Zhongxian replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered: "Tell the Privy Council about this matter! Then his ministry immediately discussed the matter and came up with a plan to send troops as soon as possible. The Ming Dynasty's navy training has been resting for so long, so it is time to go out to promote martial ethics!"
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth and said, "If his shogunate dares to kill my people, I will slaughter him Nagasaki!"
