"So, if the emperor obeys the etiquette system, and the etiquette system can be explained by everyone in the world, this situation will occur. In the whole Ming Dynasty, everyone will be a scholar, everyone will speak out and think, and everyone has a sense of responsibility to the country and the country. This will take a long time, but it will take many years. Maybe our generation will not be able to see it. Chen Zilong, tell them, if anyone wants to use etiquette to limit the power of the monarch, then let everyone in the world have the awareness of the master of the country!"

Zhu Youxiao continued to say to Chen Zilong.

After hearing this, Chen Zilong laughed and replied: "The well-educated people in the world may not be willing to do this. After all, the scholars and officials will become unhappy!"

Zhu Youxiao replied: "What can you do? They are unwilling to give up their dignity first. How can they ask the emperor to give up their dignity!"

Zhu Youxiao said, then looked at Yuan Keli and said, "Hmph! It's true that hypocritical! They don't want to do it, so the people of our Xingming Society have to do this. After all, I am not really a single husband, nor do I really want to be the slave owner of all of you. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty has to take me as the leader, carry out party and government, concentrate power, and accelerate the opening of people's wisdom to make China more civilized!"

"This talks about the problem that the people are not smart enough now. No one of the rebel workers in the Tongzhou Rebellion thought that they would use the method in the "Great Edict" to directly use the corrupt official Gao Hongzong to complain to me, but instead use violations such as strike or even riots to resist. This shows that we have not popularized the education of the imperial throne and national laws well. The people have not used reasonable means to uphold justice for themselves!"

Zhu Youxiao continued.

"This, the content of the Great Edict is mostly to establish laws and severely punish local tyrants. Since its birth, although Taizu strictly ordered all households to collect a Great Edict, and even those who commit crimes can reduce their crimes if they have the Great Edict at home. Common people can go to the capital to file a complaint without using a road guide. No one along the way can stop them. Those who block them will kill the whole family! However, officials are not willing to popularize them, and do not mention this book and the things stipulated in this book. Many people do not read it, so after more than two hundred years, no one knows this."

Wei Zhongxian, who had never spoken much, suddenly replied that he was good at guessing Zhu Youxiao's intentions and had long understood everything about the "Great Edict" in the early Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "The less you are willing to be praised by those who are profit-willed, we must praise and popularize them! The court must think of various ways to popularize these for the people. In addition, we must be careful of some local tyrants who say they are the people and have injustice. Therefore, using the "Great Edict" to falsely accuse officials, we must also formulate a more reasonable trial process based on the "Great Edict", and discuss the matter with the "Great Edict".

Next.

According to Zhu Youxiao's will, Yuan Keli announced the emperor's decree on the court discussion that still debated the reward for destroying the Eastern Barbarians and whether to continue to launch a war against the Tatars in the future.

Although the dove ministers were unwilling to see this decision, they did not dare to disobey.

Grand Secretary Li Guopu believes that this may be related to the hawkish minister Yuan Keli, who is the chief minister of the cabinet and is even favored by His Majesty the Emperor.

But no matter what, although the emperor Zhu Youxiao made the final decision and chose to support the view of hawkish ministers.

But the fierce court struggle this time also shows that the power to oppose the empire's expansion to the outside world is not small, and there are even some shrewd, capable ministers with good character.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: During the reign of the former Privy Councilor Xiong Tingbi, he was a meritorious in defending Liaodong during his tenure as the Liaodong ruler, and he defeated the Eastern Barbarians several times. Later, he led a large army to eliminate the Eastern Barbarians and made great contributions, so he was promoted to the Duke of Yiguo!"

"The Emperor Chengyun of the Heavenly Emperor, and the imperial edict said: During the period when the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace, Yuan Keli, was appointed as the Southwest General, served as the Southwest General, and made great contributions to pacifying the southwest barbarians. Later, during the Liaodong General, he took the initiative to suppress the Eastern Barbarians, and made outstanding achievements. Later, he coordinated the maintenance work and worked hard and made great contributions. Therefore, he was promoted to the Duke of Xingguo!"

"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said: During the reign of the Minister of War and Deputy Privy Councilor Sun Chuanting, he annihilated a large-scale Eastern Captains several times. Later, he led a large army to eliminate the Eastern Captains and pacified the Jianzhou Guard. During the war in Liaodong, he had the highest military achievements, so he was promoted to the Duke of Qin! He was appointed as the Liaodong official to set up a bronze statue in Hetuara to record it!"

"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said: Qin Liangyu, the left governor and deputy envoy of the Privy Council, made great contributions to the training of generals in the martial arts hall. Later, he made great contributions in the pacification of the barbarians in the southwest. He defeated the Eastern Barbarians several times in Liaodong, and made outstanding achievements, so he was appointed as the Duke of Chengguo!"

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: Lu Xiangsheng, the left governor of the Guards and deputy envoy of the Privy Council, made great contributions to the suppression of the Eastern Captains in Liaodong, and later quelled the rebellion in Tongzhou, so he was promoted to Duke Anguo!"

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: Zhou Yuji, the right governor of the Guards and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, made great contributions to the suppression of the Eastern Captains in Liaodong, and made great contributions to the suppression of rebellion in Jiangnan, so he was promoted to Duke Heguo!"

...

Wei Zhongxian's throat was almost dumb, because there were too many meritorious officials awarded by His Majesty the Emperor this time.

In order to promote this martial arts, Zhu Youxiao directly appointed six dukes in one go, not to mention the marquis and the earl. Even Wang Zaijin, who did not support the continued war, was named earl because of his contribution to dispatching food and grass and his contribution to repel the Tatars that invaded the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also awarded the title of minister who achieved achievements in science and technology for the first time.

Zhu Youxiao's reason was that these technological achievements made the Ming Dynasty very successful in military affairs, and also made great contributions to saving thousands of common people in the livelihood. It is naturally worthy of praise to inspire technological reformers in the world.

Xu Guangqi was named Earl because of this.

It is worth mentioning.

In the past, in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the founding of the country and the Jingnan Dynasty, the highest title of ministers who had military merits was only a marquis.

Not to mention civil servants, at most, they will be counts.

But this time, Zhu Youxiao really enthroned Duke. Moreover, because the phenomenon of literati leading troops after Tumu Fort became more and more serious, the military commander was still civil servants. Even though Zhu Youxiao had already separated military affairs and internal affairs, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Keli, and Sun Chuanting, who were named Duke, inevitably had the background of civil servants.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao believed that if he did this, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Keli, and Sun Chuanting would still be accepted by the civil service group, it was a problem.

Moreover, among these newly promoted nobles, except for Xiong Tingbi and Xu Guangqi, some of whom have retired, most of them also hold important positions in the court.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did this undoubtedly supported a group of new noble groups with powerful power in the court.

"Since these ministers have been awarded titles, they cannot stand in the court anymore. They should voluntarily resign from the positions of the Political Affairs Hall, the Cabinet, and the Privy Council! Otherwise, they will be incompatible with the etiquette, and even if the civil and military are inseparable, they will be indifferent to the left and right."

After the court was pushed, Li Biao, the Minister of Rites, who was not promoted, came to the book to discuss the matter because he did not give the emperor's attention when he was in the imperial court.
