Chapter 1479: The Quartet of Grace

In short, Yang Yiqing's ability to enter the cabinet can be said to be strength or luck. This civil servant who was once the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, was in charge of the three towns and made great contributions to the border towns, to some extent, all rely on Zhu Houzhao's support.

Otherwise, Liu Jin would not be able to be provoked by everyone. Isn’t it because of Zhu Houzhao’s appreciation that Yang Yiqing can protect himself under Liu Jin’s revenge?

After Li Dongyang entered the warm pavilion, he gave a tribute first. When he saw Ye Chunqiu, he was a little surprised, but his face was still full of ancient wells.

Obviously, Li Dongyang was surprised that Ye Chunqiu came back so early, but seeing him now, his mood was a little complicated.

In my heart, he did not agree with the memorials submitted by the King of Zhou yesterday.

This is not a matter of the law of the ancestors. Your royal family and the royal family themselves want to recognize their relatives. This is your business. If you recognize their relatives, you will even be granted the title of king. This is equivalent to forcing Li Dongyang into the corner. It is not right, nor is it right.

If not, this differentiation strategy will be successful.

Will Ye Chunqiu really be disconnected from himself because of the throne? This is an indefinite thing. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs. Even if Ye Chunqiu doesn't speak, it doesn't mean he will not have any resentment in his heart. But what if he supports it?

Alas, it's really a big deal.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang with a smile and said, "Summer is coming, and the weather is getting hotter. Master Li should also pay more attention to his health."

Although it was a greeting on the surface, it was actually waiting for Li Dongyang's statement.

Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty, although the people from all over the world are now able to be peaceful and peaceful, there are also people who are not covered in clothes and have no clothes or food. A few days ago, someone from Fengyang Prefecture reported that there were several farmers who starved to death. Your Majesty, Fengyang is the capital of Zhongdu, and even so, it is even more conceivable that other prefectures and counties are more prosperous. The old minister is very kind and rich, so there is no need for Your Majesty to take care of you. Your Majesty's love is enough to be appreciated."

His words were reminiscent of the water. They were both thankful and expressed their concern for the country and the people.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to laugh in her heart, pretend, pretend, hum, let's see when you pretend to be!

Then, Zhu Houzhao said deliberately: "How can I not care about the common people? Didn't I send the imperial envoy to Fengyang? If the stolen officials harm the people, they will punish the stolen officials. If the tyrants are unrighteous, they will punish the tyrants. In a few days, there will be a report."

Li Dongyang said in a head: "That's right, but Your Majesty can manage Fengyang, but what about other prefectures and counties? This is the difficulty of governing. If you want to make the sea peaceful and the rivers clear, you cannot miss the attention. It's not that the court doesn't want to calm the people, but it's just that it can't do anything in detail. So a small matter may lead to a big disaster. Isn't that the reason for this?

He also said good things, but Li Dongyang was still catching this matter, and Zhu Houzhao began to feel a little impatient.

Master Li is really gone. Why do you say so much nonsense? Isn’t you just want to mention the fact that Chunqiu is the king? Anyway, the King of Zhou and others had already submitted a memorial yesterday, and today I have summoned the King of Zhou and others. You said something. I have thought of many reasons to block your mouth, hum.

However, Zhu Houzhao is mature after all, and she is not the emperor who is unhappy and makes a look like she is whispering when she is unhappy and doesn't feel like she is whispering at all. He pondered for a moment and said, "Ha, what Master Li said makes sense. I remember it this time. I wonder if there is any news today?"

"That's right." Li Dongyang's face was calm and said slowly: "There is another thing that the old minister needs to report to Your Majesty. Recently, a monk gathered many people in the capital, saying that he was praying for His Majesty's birthday. So in the East City, he brought many good men and women to chant scriptures and pray, which was spectacular."

In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, Li Dongyang would not have known that he was waiting for him to mention the report of King Zhou and others, thinking that Li Dongyang could always say it now, but...

What is there to say about such a thing? Zhu Houzhao was anxious that this was not the case, but since Li Dongyang had already mentioned it, Zhu Houzhao had to ask, "Oh, so that's the case. If so, wouldn't it be great?"

"When you go back to Your Majesty, the problem is not here. He has this idea. This is certainly because Your Majesty is grateful to all directions and influences his subjects. But... this monk has no certificate. He claims to be a monk from Jinshan Temple in Nanzhili. However, the yellow book clearly records that he is a military householder, and he is probably pretending to be a fake, but this person quite understands some Buddhist principles..."

Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Oh, that's right. Since he understands Buddhist principles, he will do whatever he is a military household or a monk. Since he is giving me a birthday, he will ask the Honglu Temple to give him a certificate of tribute."

Ye Chunqiu stood aside and listened, wanting to laugh...

This is indeed a very small matter, but why did Mr. Li come up with it? With a person with a temperament like Li Dongyang, it is impossible for him to be troubled!

Obviously, this is a simple matter. If it can be solved so easily, why should we report to the emperor's ruling office?

Sure enough, Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "The Honglu Temple dare not issue it personally. If a fake monk gets a certificate because of this, then from now on, I am afraid that there will be countless fake monks in this world who will use this to pray for blessings in the palace."

Well……

This is not wrong. You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, military households were one of the most difficult household registrations. They were born as tenants of hereditary military officers. They were not well-fed or well-dressed. There were even many, even widows, and even widows were not willing to marry into military households. However, monks were different. Monks needed to be certified by the court and had to be considered monks. With the certificate, they could go to the temple to receive offerings. Most ordinary temples had a lot of land and hired tenants to produce food. In addition, there were also the indulgence, oil and money for believers, and even the government occasionally gave some money and grain.

It can be said that if one can be recognized by the Honglu Temple and obtained the certificate of the throne, a military household can be said to have reached the top in one step, and will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and eat and drink while lying down.

The reason why Li Dongyang did not agree with Zhu Houzhao's handling was that you could not respond to this kind of thing. Although the monk was in the name of praying for blessings in the palace, he was probably in pursuit of the certificate of decree.

If the court responds now, although the small troubles are solved now and everything is legitimate, there will be endless troubles! As you can imagine, then more down-and-out households will see hope and will follow suit. Okay, if you give this certificate, do you give it to others or not, you can't favor one or the other, right?
