Chapter 2361 The most correct way to open

The rising sun has already jumped high, and the entire Forbidden City is showered in the brilliant sunshine.

Etiquette has long penetrated into all aspects of this dynasty.

On this special day today, the Jinyiwei set up a cloud cover plate on the east side of the Huangji Hall, officials of the Ministry of Rites set up a float outside the Meridian Gate, and officials of the Honglu Temple set up a reading case on the Chengtian Gate...

When the imperial edict was sent to Chengtian Gate, the officials of the Honglu Temple, Jinyiwei and the lieutenant passed the message through the flag, and the lieutenant reported the ritual to the new emperor in the Huangji Hall.

At this point, the new emperor Baili completed all the procedures for ascending the throne, and the 14th emperor of the Ming Dynasty was officially launched. From next year, the Ming Dynasty entered the first year of Baili.

It is worth mentioning that Baili is the national name chosen by Empress Dowager Chen, which means longevity.

Although Longqing, who was thirty-five, was already considered a middle-aged man among all emperors, he was really far from Jiajing who was 60 years old, and was even farther from eunuchs who were 80 or 90 years old. Therefore, Empress Dowager Chen also longed for her son to live longer.

Although she adheres to the principle of obeying the cabinet, she has made an idea in this matter, which is probably maternal love.

Queen Mother Chen finally felt completely relieved and told her son seriously: "Yinger, you are the emperor now. Whoever wants to harm you in the future, just shout for help!"

Zhu Yili looked up at his serious mother and nodded in a vague way.

Chen Hong and Feng Bao secretly exchanged glances. This seemed to be what the emperor said, but in fact it was to warn everyone present.

After all, if something happens to the emperor, those who stay by the emperor will be questioned or even implicated. This is not only a harsh warning to them, but also a means to keep guard against Concubine Li.

It’s no wonder that the Queen Mother is so vigilant now. After all, the emperor’s clothes were lit by the falling candles a few days ago. Who knows whether this is a coincidence or intentional one?

Empress Chen knew that her son's safety had more than a few more guarantees, so she reached out to hold Zhu Yili and said gently: "Yuaner, let's go back to play with your sister!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yifeng's eyes lit up suddenly, but he nodded heavily and responded.

When Feng Bao saw that the Empress Dowager was going to take the Emperor away, he immediately shouted to the eunuch who was waiting outside: "Emperor, the Empress Dowager will return to Kunning Palace!"

The words were divided into two parts, and the edict of the ascension of the throne was still being read in front of Fengtian Gate.

The civil and military officials kneeling in the square in front of Fengtian Gate have slowly come back to their senses. When they heard the words "reform the old and the new" appear in the ascension edict, they vaguely guessed that this ascension edict was most likely written by Lin Qinran.

Lin Weiranda has been giving people the image of a reformist vanguard since entering the officialdom. With his achievements in opening the sea in Guangdong, he became a supernova in the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Although Lin Qingran was appointed as the prefect of Leizhou and the prefect of Guangzhou, and the prefect of Shuntian, his achievements in local governance during his tenure as the prefect of Guangzhou, the achievements of Lin Qingran's opening of the sea in Guangdong and rectifying the salt administration were always talked about.

The position of the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites was a little calmer, but as the Minister of Revenue, he used various innovative means to increase the financial income of the Ming Dynasty. The representative of this was the silk trade between the Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau and the Folang Jiren.

After Lin Junran took power, he even started to work on the biggest disease of the dynasty's fiscal revenue - tax evasion. The unruly book thrown out was a shocking moment.

The Ming Dynasty did not lack the case of becoming the second auxiliary of the dynasty from a trivial official, but there was no exception who could change the appearance of the dynasty like Lin Weiran.

It was this second assistant who was the second assistant of the dynasty who continuously improved the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty and reshaped this dynasty with many malpractices.

Now that the ascension edict has put forward the "reform of the old and the new", Lin Junran is undoubtedly advocating his political philosophy, but he wants to continue to implement reform measures in the new dynasty.

"We can finally cut the sect's vassal rice!"

Officials such as Liu Pushan were enterprising reformists, but they knew that the ills of the vassals that they had been thinking about were likely to be solved, and their eyes burst out with light and said inwardly.

In the late period of the Longqing Dynasty, the biggest contradiction between everyone and Longqing was the difference between "establishing a crown prince", but the contradiction that followed was that all officials had to start solving the problem of sucking the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty.

Since this ascension edict was made by Lin Qinran, Lin Qinran would not disappoint them, and would definitely take the opportunity to propose to solve the matter of the vassal state.

Zhu Heng, the Minister of Personnel, who was holding the enthronement edict, faced the kneeling civil and military officials, as if he heard the demands of these people, but there was a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth, and continued to read aloud in an extremely calm tone.

1. Before November of the fifth year of Longqing, the Salt Transport Department, the Salt Transport Department, and the Salt Transport Department, had been under the owed and the wind and rain had been eliminated, and the salt and grain were broken, and the colored salt and grain were broken, and the imperial edict was issued on the day. The Fengxian Officer checked the situation and all the people were eliminated. The poor and poor were not pursued.

1. The sages have a good reputation, but there is no difference in teaching. Today, private schools are gradually growing, and those founders of private schools can report to local governments. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics disciplines, arithmetic, medicine and agriculture can be widely used.

1. People in the South China, East China Sea and the West do not know how to weave, do not know how to cure gold, and do not know how to use skillful craftsmanship. Today, the Ming Dynasty should give me kindness. Local governments can promote the rise of workshops and use the Maritime Bureau to trade in these three places.

1. Today, the number of followers of Shang is growing day by day, and the number of followers of the workers is growing day by day. However, the bad character is not correct, and the disaster is the place. The newborn is added to the child’s life. The worker is calculating the literacy and numbers, and the Shang is calculating the Analects of Confucius.

1. The garrisons in all parts of the world are abandoned, and one in ten personnel is not present. However, the generals are prevalent in luxury. Now the Ministry of War implements a nucleus for more than 100 households in the garrison. Those who have no virtue, those who have no talent, and those who have no courage will be reincarnated. Military households are no longer limited to hereditary, and can recruit strong men from the local area to fill them.

First, the people must not be without food, but the country must not be without wealth. Shizong emphasized agricultural taxes and the people were sick. The market tax solved the financial difficulties of Muzong. Therefore, in the following three years, the agricultural tax accounted for sixty-five years, and in the past five years, the agricultural tax accounted for only half of the fiscal revenue.

...

ah?

Wang Bai and other officials listened to this rare long assassination edict. Although they still did not hear the requirements to solve the ills of the vassal state, they had already deeply felt Lin Yanran's ambition and the determination to create a prosperous era.

Although many scholars and sages have been clamoring to create a prosperous era since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, these superiors are either greedy and abused people like Yan Song, or hypocrites like Xu Jie who seek fame and profit, or powerless chief assistant like Li Chunfang.

However, unlike Lin Weiran's unity of knowledge and action, he not only sets a lofty goal, but also puts forward various feasible measures.

These measures involve all aspects such as economy, culture and military, especially reducing agricultural taxes and increasing commercial taxes, which clearly means solving the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty in the most beneficial way.

It is completely conceivable that if the Ming Dynasty court worked together in this direction, the Ming Dynasty would be not far from its prosperous era and would even stand at an unprecedented height.

"This edict of ascension is too ignited. I feel my blood is bleak now!" Yang Futian said excitedly as he heard these measures one by one, he got goose bumps all over his body.

Ning Jiang, who was kneeling behind, was silent for a moment, and rarely agreed with Yang Futian and said: "Yes, my qi and blood are also pouring out. This should be the best edict in the history of the Ming Dynasty!"

"No, this is no longer the edict of the ascension of the throne. This is the direction we will strive for in the next five years. It is the compass for the Ming Dynasty to create a prosperous era!" Wang Bai, who was kneeling in front, changed his past silence, but corrected the truth.

When the officials around him heard Wang Bai’s summary, they nodded in approval.

However, unlike many emperors who ascended the throne in history, who only shouted slogans or talked about it in vain, this ascendant edict has both measures and specific goals. It seems that this is the most correct way to open the ascendant edict.

Perhaps it is said that the previous edicts of the throne were waste paper, and this edict of the throne was the real edict of the throne.

"With Master Lin, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous!"

"How could the Ming Dynasty not prosper like this?"

"God blesses China, this is a talented person who meets once in a thousand years!"

...

When the Minister of Works Xia Shunshui and other civil servants of Dingguo and other military honors heard this edict of ascension with every word, they couldn't help but feel secretly moved.

Everyone has always known that Lin Weiran was born with a six-yuan winning streak. He is indeed worthy of the name of "Wen Kui", and is even more rare good minister of governing the country.

Especially in the years he was in power, Lin Weiran managed the entire dynasty in an orderly manner and was able to handle all the difficult government affairs with ease for Longqing.

It was just that Lin Xuran was a national prime minister who was never born. Everyone still felt that Lin Xuran still lacked some trouble. At least the matter of Zong Qi Lu Mi has been unresolved.

Now there are 28,924 princes and generals, with more than 8.7 million stones of annual salary and grain. Among them, the county lord and rituals are not included, but it is like a mountain pressing against the Ming Dynasty.

But today, they suddenly realized that Lin Xuran had already walked far ahead of them. Lin Xuran had already thought of the problem they had thought of, and Lin Xuran had also thought of the problem they had not thought of.

The rising sun was approaching noon and everyone was here, but everyone found that the python robe on the man in front was so dazzling and his back was so unattainable.

"Teacher, you are really wrong. I am far away... not as good as him!"

Although Zhang Juzheng had read the specific content of this ascension edict, he could not hide the passion in his heart when he listened to it again, but he muttered to himself.

Although he has his own ruling philosophy and is even named the number one in the world by his teacher. However, compared with the person next to him, he knew that he was too far behind, and even felt that it was a serious sin to fight with this person.

"Yu Bi, you really have a good teacher!"

When Chen Yiqin heard the specific content of this ascension edict again, he murmured to himself.

However, he was very calm, but he knew that Lin Weiran would face great pressure when he threw out this ascension edict, and he also planned to do his best to assist Lin Weiran like Guo Pu.

Unlike many ambitious officials, he knew that his qualifications were mediocre. If he had not been fortunate to become Longqing's imperial tutor, he would not have been able to join the cabinet and become the minister.

Although he did not have the ability to lead this dynasty to glory, he had his own judgment and knew who was the most suitable leader in the Ming Dynasty nowadays.

Zhu Heng looked at Lin Qingran deeply and recited the last paragraph with the most excited mood: "Yu Xi! Emperor Wen entered the Han Dynasty and respected the style of respect and frugality; King Wu Shaozhou, wishing to transform the country with great benevolence. I am willing to celebrate the prosperous era with all my ministers. Now I will announce it to the world, and I will be in my heart."

"I am willing to follow the emperor to have a prosperous era. Long live my emperor!" Guo Pu and other officials felt that they were already heart-to-heart, and immediately worshiped loudly.

This worship was not to worship the emperor, but to worship their leader Lin Qingran, and to worship the upcoming prosperous era.

If at any time in the past, they would have doubts about the so-called prosperous times, but now they have a kind of confusion.

Since Lin Junran's rise, this dynasty has changed too much. Not to mention the distant past, they have successfully resolved foreign enemies just by fighting against Mongolia and the southwest. Now the Ming Dynasty has the strength to protect itself and even fight against foreign countries.

That's right, they knew that as long as they followed Lin Weiran's footsteps, the prosperous times were not far from them.

After the ascension edict was read out, all civil and military officials dispersed one after another, but they knew that the Ming Dynasty would usher in a new era.

On that day, the Ministry of Rites was divided into copies of the ascension edict. After the Tongzheng Department, the provincial governments, prefectures and counties of the thirteen provinces will be posted, which will convey to the world the determination and measures of the court to create a prosperous era.

Shortly after Baili ascended the throne, Longqing also chose an auspicious day to be buried in Zhaoling on the eastern foot of Dayu Mountain. Then the capital ushered in the first snow in winter.

The black roof of Wenyuan Pavilion is covered with white snow, and it has become the real center of power in the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Weiran, wearing a python robe, was sitting upright in the warm room, seemingly handling the affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces in an orderly manner.

Although the cabinet tickets from the Longqing period were intended to be sent to the Silijian Liwen Library, the eunuchs of the Silijian also copied and approved the rewards, and all matters were carried out according to the will of the Cabinet.

But now he no longer has to worry about the Silijian being interfered with, but the cabinet directly criticized the emperor and then sent it to Queen Mother Chen for the imperial examination. The Queen Mother only had the power to return the memorial.

Queen Mother Chen was born in an ordinary family of books. It would be fine if she asked her to recite the "Women's Commandments". If she was the one who participated in the government affairs, her ability was worse than that of Long Qing.

Of course, although Empress Dowager Chen has the right power to rule the government, Empress Dowager Zhang has already made a statement in front, and it is difficult for Empress Dowager Chen to interfere too much in government affairs now.

Although Lin Qingran was not overly addicted to power, he also knew that to implement the concept of "The Edict of the Ascension", he needed to have corresponding power.

However, no matter whether the officials below criticized him for imitating the "only prime minister" Yan Song, or accused him of not serving as the Minister of War, he turned a deaf ear to these voices, but focused on doing his own things.

Lin Junran knew very well that power is the foundation of reform. This reform has touched many people's cakes, so it is even more necessary to hold power and military power firmly in his hands.

Now, it depends on who jumped out first and became the chicken that killed the chicken to warn the monkey.
