Chapter 706 Greedy

Xu Huizu and Chang Mao were unable to get better at this time, although their status was stable. Under normal circumstances, their family must have a very prominent position.

But this definitely means that they represent Wuxun, and they are indeed closely related to many Wuxuns.

Zhu Yunyou sighed and said to Xu Huizu and Chang Mao, "The people who followed the emperor to conquer the world were mostly heroes, and many of them came from our hometown in Huaixi. These ones were all bitter mud legs. But

Every generation does things. Although the ancestors are poor, they have forgotten their origins when they come to their descendants."

Xu Huizu and Chang Mao both lowered their heads and stopped talking, and they knew a lot of things.

Everyone in the world knows that the founding king of the Ming Dynasty was a little novice monk or a little beggar, a miserable man who starved his parents and brothers and sisters-in-law to death.

The famous twenty-four generals in Huaixi basically have no major players.

Xu Da was the childhood friend of Emperor Hongwu. Even if he was born in a farmer, he would say that it was just a little better than Emperor Hongwu’s family background. At least it was not that hard, but that was all. This was the perfect mud leg.

If he had not responded to Emperor Hongwu's call at the beginning, Xu Da might have been just an old farmer in Fengyang.

Chang Yuchun was born into a poor peasant, and he was unwilling to die of old age in the fields. He also relied on his ability to become a bandit, blocking the road and robbing the house. If it weren't for thinking that such a family would be robbed, would be robbed, or would be robbed.

After a successful career, he defected to Emperor Hongwu. Maybe Chang Yuchun would have been wiped out long ago, just a bandit.

So don’t say who is more noble than who is born. At least in the Ming Dynasty, there is really nothing to mention about the origin.

The emperor's ancestors were peasants, and the leader of the martial arts honors was either peasants or bandits. There were no high-ranking families, nor any prominent family background. At most, they were successful now, so they all looked a bit arrogant.

.

The ancestors were born in a low-class family, but their descendants may not recognize those, because when they were born, they were basically rich and prominent. They have become nobles and nobles, but they are not peasant children and do not need to dig food in the field to survive.

.

When it comes to ancestors, many nobles in the Ming Dynasty seemed to be insignificant. However, among the civil officials, there were indeed many prominent families. If you want to talk about inheriting poetry and books, there must be some.

Although the power of the long-standing family power in the land of China was almost wiped out after experiencing the late Tang Dynasty, Liao, Jin, Mongolian and Yuan dynasties. However, many scholars did not look down on the royal family of the Ming Dynasty and felt that the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty were not worth it.

At a glance.

To be honest, although the ones who control cultural heritage are no longer simply a few aristocratic families.

However, we must admit that those scholars who passed down their poetry and books seem to have a little thicker background. Sometimes they can be considered as having such a proud capital. No matter who is in the throne, they have the chance to always be

The gentry has always been the backbone of the ruling class.

Zhu Yunyou looked at Xu Huizu and Chang Mao and said seriously, "There are differences between civil and military dynasties in all dynasties. Now, whether it is the nobles or civil officials of our Ming Dynasty, they are all a bit distorted. Before, Hu Ni's case was afraid that it was

Many people couldn’t take it in their hearts either.”

This is also a fact. The Hu Weiyong case was indeed a big case that was the first major case in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. But many people also think that it is not considered a confluence of civil and military affairs, but it is just Emperor Hongwu to remove it.

The Prime Minister is just to weaken the power of the military honors.

Xu Huizu and Chang Mao were a little nervous, mainly because the emperor's words were a little heavy, and they seemed to see the emperor's determination. The emperor wanted to set aside the tone now, and it was inevitable that a group of nobles and civil officials would be cleaned up.

This is obviously not a good thing. Although Xu Huizu and Chang Mao were deeply involved in the royal family, they were also the banner of Wu Xun.

Zhu Yunyou didn't care so much, because the emperor had some ideas about the emperor and the emperor had some plans and layouts.

In fact, this incident was a little bit unexpected, although he had instructed Lian Zining to do some things before. However, it was more of the Beijing Chase, and it was just the duty of the Dali Temple Minister. Lian Zining's memorial,

In fact, it was indeed unexpected.

However, the emperor also needs to take advantage of the situation, and many things may not be completely within his expectations. When something unexpected happens, the emperor must not be panicked. The emperor must make a quick decision and make some decisions.

Change.

This is what Zhu Yunying did. Although Lian Zining’s memorial surprised Zhu Yunying, he really needed to do it. Moreover, the turmoil caused by Lian Zining’s memorial was also in line with some of Zhu Yunying’s expectations and some of the national policies he formulated.

To clean up some martial arts honors was also a plan that Zhu Yunyou had before. It was originally an excuse to use Xu Huizu to use Zhang Rong's smuggling case.

But now it seems that there is no need to consider these things. He has absolutely other reasons to deal with some people. And such excuses are no longer simply to clean up some martial arts honors, but to hit some civil officials again.

For civil officials or military honors, Zhu Yunyou will not simply rely on the power of one side. Of course, the continued strength of military honors requires suppression. As for civil officials from time to time, Zhu Yunyou will naturally need to severely criticize them.

Xu Huizu and Chang Mao probably knew the emperor's attitude, and they could probably guess what might happen next. However, for them, they probably couldn't do anything at this time.

It is very important to make sure that your family does not cause any trouble at this time. Even if they are the emperor's mother tribe and the prince's mother tribe, these are indeed their glory. But all this is also at some moments.

There are more stringent requirements for them.

At this time, you don’t say it at all, and you also need to restrain some people. This is what they should do.

Zhu Yunyou was quite relieved about Chang Mao and Xu Huizu and some of their awareness. He believed that the leaders of these two great martial arts masters had self-knowledge and believed that they must know what position they should stand on.

These things don't require Zhu Yunyou to say much. He did what he should do. He was not only a noble emperor, but also an emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He also had to do some things.

After Xu Huizu and Chang Mao left, Zhu Yunyou said to Wang Chengen, "Summon the six ministers of the ministers."

Wang Chengen didn't say much. He knew that he only needed to do what His Majesty had assigned. This was his duty. He could not make decisions for the emperor, nor could he even interfere and influence the emperor's decisions.

Ru Hui, Minister of Personnel, Minister of Rites Chen Di, Minister of Justice Bao Zhao, Minister of War Tie Xuan, Minister of Revenue Wang Dun, and Huang Guan, who acts on affairs in the Ministry of Industry.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty still has a group of elite soldiers and generals. Among them, they can be regarded as relatively orthodox scholars, including southerners, northerners, and even ethnic minorities. Some are from orthodox imperial examinations, and some are not orthodox.

Being a scholar.

For example, Tie Xuan is not considered an orthodox imperial examination. He was selected by the Imperial College as a minister of the Ministry of Rites and had experience in governing the country. This person is actually a descendant of the Hui Hui people of the Yuan Dynasty.

Ru Wei and Bao Zhao also said that they were elected by the Imperial College. Wang Dun, this was the imperial examination, but he was the Jinshi in the Yuan Dynasty. Huang Guan was the orthodox imperial examination, the twenty-fourth of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Huiyuan of the year, Chen Di, the top scholar, even if he is a hero.

Zhu Yunyou seemed to have done this, and some heroes did not ask the meaning of the source. Of course, his approach must have made some scholars complain, although the six ministers of the Ming Dynasty were essentially scholars.

However, the composition of these six ministers is not a complete imperial examination, which somewhat reduces the importance of the imperial examination system.

If it was the beginning of the country, it would be fine. At that time, all kinds of grass-roots heroes were nothing. But now the Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than 30 years, and the promotion system for civil servants seems to be mature, but it has also made some people.

The wise man's concern.

The importance of the imperial examination was shaken. Even if it was a blow to many scholars, it affected their rights and status, it naturally moved their cheese. These positions should have been their basic position.

However, these people were probably a little overwhelmed. You should know that during the Yuan Dynasty, people were divided into four levels - Mongolians, Semu people, Han people, and Southern people, while the officials of the Yuan Dynasty basically came from first and second levels.

In other words, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Han and Southerners could have some chances of becoming officials, but they were just small officials.

But at that time, most scholars seemed to be very obedient and did not have too many requirements. But now, the Ming Dynasty gave them more preferential treatment, but these people still felt a little dissatisfied.

The Ming Dynasty did not treat scholars preferentially, so many scholars had complaints. Now scholars' channels for official career have also been affected. At this time, if you say no complaints, that would be a complete lie.

Don’t forget that the emperor’s suppression of scholars was not just the status of Yan Shenggong at the time, but his face was wiped out.

He is also the one who has entered the court now, as well as some craftsmen and some minor officials who were not at the time.

It is no exaggeration to say that Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingxiu really greatly affected the many privileges of scholars. However, they seemed to have no other better way, because these two emperors were really too domineering.

The six ministers were summoned together, which was naturally a great event. Thinking of the events during the morning court, it made people even more imaginative, and they all looked a little worried.

It is really necessary to have a big thing happen, and you need to be more cautious at this time. You must never have any trouble at this time.

It is true that they are the emperor's ministers, but they also represent the interests of civil servants and they also want to restrict the imperial power.

Even if you are not very effective in doing something now, you should not just become an emperor's voice. When you should have your own position, you must have a position.

Looking at the six ministers who arrived at Qiqi, Zhu Yunyou asked, "In the early years, the Supreme Emperor set rules, and scholars should go to school well, so don't discuss national affairs. How many years have you forgotten these things?"

The Six Ministers of the Ministry didn't know how to answer. These rules were indeed formulated by Emperor Hongwu. At the beginning, these policies were implemented more resolutely, and many people knew it.

However, over the years, the restrictions on this aspect have actually been constantly relaxed.

What's more, many people know what they know, and they won't talk big. But when scholars gather, they can't just be poetry, songs, or knowledge. Sometimes, scholars like to give advice when they are together.

.

As long as it is not too much, many people actually don’t care about these things, and it does not seem that there are so many taboos.

However, these things are inconsistent with the rules set by Emperor Hongwu in the early years. If the emperor really talks about this matter, many people probably can only pinch their noses and accept it.

This is definitely not true in terms of legal principles, because Emperor Hongwu formulated laws in his early years. It is hard to say in terms of reason. Emperor Yingxiu was also the grandson of Emperor Hongwu, so of course he needed to maintain the authority of Emperor Hongwu.

Looking at the six ministers who did not speak, Zhu Yunyou snorted coldly. Zhu Yunyou knew some things, but many times he was willing to pretend to be confused, and there was no need to exaggerate some things at all times.

As long as it wasn't too much, Zhu Yunyou didn't care. In fact, even Lao Zhu, who made this rule, knew a lot of things. When he was in power, he did not have too many restrictions and criticized some scholars for gatherings.

Seeing that the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice did not speak, Zhu Yunyou threw away Lian Zining's memorial, "Look, see how our scholars in the Ming Dynasty were worried about the country and the people. This is not as high as the temple, and they are afraid of each one.

They were all a little unable to hold back. When they became officials, it would be great!”

Hearing Zhu Yunyou say this, the six ministers of the six ministries also had a serious expression. The emperor had expressed his dissatisfaction without any concealment, and there was indeed some irony without any concealment.

Then we need to be more cautious. In fact, the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice also want to know why the emperor was furious in the morning court.

It seems that the puzzle will be revealed soon, but everyone may not be so relaxed at this time. Because they all know each other well. When they see some things in the memorials, they will inevitably face the storm.

It's right.

When Ru Wei saw the Imperial College priests involved in it, he knew that this matter was not good. He probably knew the reason for the emperor's anger!
