Holy ruling?

How to judge?

Emperor Wanli felt a sense of disgust and powerlessness when he looked at these ministers who were turning the blame at critical moments.

"How can I judge?"

Emperor Wanli suppressed his anger and asked.

Shen Shixing and others lowered their heads and looked at each other, and then the second auxiliary Wang Xijue buried his head on the ground and said, "Back to the emperor, the matters of the royal family are related to the emperor's family affairs, and they are also involved in the vassal states. As foreign ministers, it is not appropriate to comment on the emperor's family affairs."

Emperor Wanli snorted: "The emperor has no selfish affairs. My family affairs are also state affairs. Tell me, how should I deal with this matter?"

Hearing Emperor Wanli's tough request for the cabinet ministers and the Ministry of Rites to express their views, the cabinet ministers and the Minister of Rites also secretly complained.

In fact, since Emperor Wanli’s remarks, he has also revised the "Regional Regulations" twice. These two revisions have actually taken great steps. For example, in the 18th year of Wanli, the children of the royal family who had no titles were allowed to make a living by themselves.

However, it was because of the amendment of the regulations that the vassal kings in various places were dissatisfied. They even submitted a memorial to Emperor Wanli, who impeached the ministers who participated in the amendment of the "Regional Regulations" at that time, although it was finally left alone.

But this does not mean that the vassal kings will give up. They will collectively come out to disgust people by relying on their hereditary iron rice bowl and the "Instructions for the Emperor Ming Zu" promulgated by Emperor Taizu. Anyone who encounters such a bad thing will not feel at ease. If the bold vassal king is encouraged by the ambitious people and makes the old affairs of the Ningfan of Nanchang, this is not a joke.

Therefore, the Cabinet and the Ministry of Rites are now just to just live a while, and there is no way to talk about it.

However, after reading Zhong Huamin's memorial and seeing the current attitude of Emperor Wanli, it seems that there is no way to hide from this matter.

Finally, Shen Shixing could only grit his teeth and said, "The emperor still needs to make a long-term plan for this matter. The ancestor system was established during the reign of Emperor Taizu, and the children of the royal family were not allowed to be officials. In the 18th year of Wanli, I had already revised the "Regulations on the Religious Fate". At that time, the emperor's imperial approval was issued, and the children of the royal family could seek their own jobs. Now, it's only five years later, isn't it a bit too fast?"

Emperor Wanli said: "How fast? The clans of the clan are all my brothers and sisters. In Henan, the clans were seriously affected. As the emperor, I am the emperor, but according to the rules of the folk clans, I am also the clan leader of the clan. I cannot ignore the affairs of the clans."

After hearing Emperor Wanli's words, Shen Shixing and others replied one after another: "The emperor is wise."

Emperor Wanli waved his hand and said, "Tell me the specific method."

Shen Shixing and other ministers looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, you just proposed to let the children of the royal family participate in the imperial examination. I think this is not bad either. But it cannot be done overnight. I am foolish. If the children of the royal family participate in the imperial examination, they can be ordered to give up their clan status, otherwise they will not be able to become officials."

After hearing Shen Shixing's words, Emperor Wanli nodded, thinking that what Shen Shixing and the others said made some sense. When Emperor Taizu formulated the regulations on the management of the royal family, he particularly emphasized the issue of the children of the royal family as officials.

If so, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, you must give up your status as a royal family, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with.

Emperor Wanli pondered for a while and said, "I think this one is OK. What about the others?"

Shen Shixing and other ministers looked at each other again, and then said, "I am stupid and have no other suggestions for the time being."

Emperor Wanli said, "Okay, okay, you go back first and write a memorandum of the one I mentioned today. I will criticize it after reading it."

Shen Shixing finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Emperor Wanli say this.

Shen Shixing and others saluted to Emperor Wanli and said, "I will leave."

Emperor Wanli saw that they were not talking, and waved his hands in depression, and then took another sip of the Godly Happy Water.

"It's really troublesome to do things in the royal family."

In fact, Emperor Wanli didn't want to pay attention to these royal families. If it weren't for the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu, Emperor Wanli would never have given them a tael of silver.

These far-away royal families have been separated by more than ten generations. According to the folk rule of "the beauty of a gentleman, he will be killed for five generations", these people are no longer relatives, and at most they are ordinary people of the same clan and surname.

However, Emperor Taizu, who had suffered and suffered, was so kind to his descendants.

Except for the lineage of Prince Zhu Biao, the remaining twenty sons were all hereditary princes. Although several of these twenty princes were later killed by Emperor Taizu's good grandson, this good grandson who was brave enough to reduce the vassal state was really too bad. In fact, his good uncle was only in Peking and one vassal state, and he disappeared in a warm flame.

Therefore, since Emperor Chengzu took the throne under the banner of Jingnan, all the princes who were demoted were restored to their position as prince. Although the slim Emperor Chengzu also restricted most of the prince's power, the Chengzu emperor did not dare to move in the inheritance of this inheritance. He had to be appointed as prince according to the ancestral system. He also had to be appointed as prince as prince, otherwise he would feel that he was at a disadvantage, right?

Therefore, this made it difficult for later monarchs to do things. Faced with more and more princes and princes to raise and their own sons to enfeoff, the financial pressure is now extraordinary.

Moreover, they have not been able to cut off their title, so they can only continue to let their descendants inherit their descendants according to the rules of their ancestors. How can this not be overwhelming?

To date, after rough calculations, there are about fifty princes in the Ming Dynasty. These fifty princes have worked hard to give birth to more than a thousand princes and several generals of the State, generals of the State of the State, generals of the State of the State, generals of the State of the State, lieutenant of the State of the State, lieutenant of the State of the State, lieutenant of the State of the State, lieutenant of the State of the State, etc., countless relatives.

Thinking of these "shouted" princes and princes, Emperor Wanli was so angry that he couldn't help but just want to take another sip of the Godly Happy Water.

Looking at the troubled Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo sighed in his heart. This matter was indeed a dead end. Apart from the talented and stubborn Emperor Taizu and the reckless Emperor Jianwen, no one dared to cut off the vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

Because once the vassal is re-established, the throne of Emperor Chengzu's branch could not be explained. Who made Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo's ancestors start their business under the banner of Jingnan? If, now learning to build cultural relics and reduce vassals, isn't this slapping the ancestors in the face again?

If you don't do it well, the throne will not be stable.

So, this matter is so melancholy!

Zhu Changluo bowed to Emperor Wanli and said, "Father, my son has a small suggestion."

Emperor Wanli looked at Zhu Changluo and said, "Come and listen."

Zhu Changluo looked at Emperor Wanli, and he took a deep breath and said, "My son is willing to take the post of the clan and help his father manage the clan's family."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's words, Emperor Wanli was still drinking the Gods Happy Water, but he was choked all of a sudden.

This scared Zhu Changluo and Chen Ju, and quickly went over to hold the other and pat the back of Emperor Wanli, "Don't it matter if your father (the emperor)?"

Emperor Wanli finally recovered. He looked at Zhu Changluo and said, "How can this be done? How can the clan rule be the case that the crown prince is in charge?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, the matter is due to people. There are now 157,000 clan members. If the Ministry of Rites has been led by him, the ministers will not feel that this is appropriate. First of all, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are ministers, and the Zongfan is the father's uncle, uncle, nephew, and grandson, and are also considered royal relatives. Other ministers in charge of royal relatives will always make them afraid. If the ministers are clans ordered and the father wants to directly manage the affairs of the clan, they can directly cross the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites and manage them according to their own will. This can greatly increase the distance between the father and the clan. This is not contrary to the original intention of Emperor Taizu."

Emperor Wanli habitually took a sip of the Godly Happy Water again and found that the bottle was empty. He threw the bottle down and said, "It seems that this is the reason. But, isn't this the case before?"

Emperor Wanli still didn't dare to take this step. It was already that Emperor Wanli's education since childhood was that the rules were greater than everything, and the ancestral system was superior to everything. Although he had done a lot of things that violated the ancestral system, the ancestral system he violated was done by all the previous emperors, so he was relieved. However, the previous emperors said that the matter was not done by the previous emperors, which made Emperor Wanli hesitate a little.

Zhu Changluo looked at Emperor Wanli and seemed to be looser. Zhu Changluo continued to strike while the iron was hot and said: "Father, it is a good thing to have a successful case. However, without a successful case, it does not mean that the status quo cannot be changed. At that time, Emperor Taizu also set the rules for the burial of concubines in the harem to be buried with all the concubines, but it was not abolished when Emperor Yingzong was here. Moreover, the subjects in the world praised Emperor Yingzong's benevolence because of this. Now the children of the royal family in the Zhiyuan lineage have become a problem. If we do not consider their livelihood, Emperor Taizu will not turn a blind eye to the sky. Therefore, the father should break it, and giving those ordinary royal families a way to make a living is also normal."

Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "It makes sense."

At this time, Chen Ju opened another bottle of Godly Happy Water and handed it to Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli took a sip and thought about Zhu Changluo's words again.

Emperor Wanli said, "I have to think about this matter carefully."

When Zhu Changluo saw that the temperature was almost the same. Zhu Changluo said, "Father, if you should break it, you will break it."

Emperor Wanli looked at the sincere gaze in Zhu Changluo's eyes. He was moved by Zhu Changluo's determination. This matter was not a good job. If you handed this matter over the prince, it might harm the prince. Therefore, Emperor Wanli was confused.

Zhu Changluo looked at the entangled Emperor Wanli, and gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, "My son is willing to share the worries of his father. Please ask the son son to ask for what he wants."

After Emperor Wanli took a sip of the Godly Happy Water, he looked at Zhu Changluo's gaze and made up his mind with difficulty.

Emperor Wanli said to Zhu Changluo: "Okay, I promise you. After you receive the ceremony, I will let you take the post of a clan order."

Zhu Changluo bowed deeply to Emperor Wanli and said, "Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Changluo was moved when he heard that Emperor Wanli wanted to hand over the position of the clan order to him after he was crowned. Because once the crown prince performed the crown order, his status would be as stable as Mount Tai and no one could shake it. At this time, no one dared to say half of the wrong ones with his clan order.

Zhu Changluo's ceremony was decided at the beginning of the year.

The planned time is the auspicious day of the Double Ninth Festival in the 22nd year of Wanli, and there is still more than a month left.

Speaking of the ceremony of the crowning ceremony, in fact, the ancient men's crowning ceremony was a very important ceremony for adulthood. A man was crowned at twenty years old, and a woman was in the fifteenth day of the head.

Saying the crown ceremony means that a man can become an adult, marry and bear the responsibilities of the clan and family, and he can no longer be seen with the eyes of a child.

The crown prince has different identities and civilians, and the responsibilities they bear are even more serious. In order to allow them to participate in national affairs earlier, the crown princes in the Ming Dynasty generally had to perform the crown ritual at the age of twelve or fifteen.

This rule is taken from the story of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou in the Book of Rites.

King Wen is crowned with twelve times, and King Wu is crowned with twelve times.

Since Zhu Changluo became the crown prince in the 21st year of Wanli, some ministers have been asking Emperor Wanli to perform the crown ceremony for Zhu Changluo. At that time, Zhu Changluo did not want to show too much, so he resigned the crown ceremony on the grounds that Emperor Wanli was inconvenient and was in the prime of Spring and Autumn Period.

However, this matter was still undesirable, so at the beginning of the year, after Zhu Changluo worshipped Emperor Wanli for the Heavenly Suburbs, the ministers once again submitted a memorial to the crown prince's ceremony. Therefore, this matter was decided to celebrate the crown prince's ceremony on the auspicious day of this year.

It seemed that there was almost a month left, so Zhu Changluo was not in a hurry to be the seat of this sect.

The reason why Zhu Changluo wants this position now is that he wants to interfere with the management of the royal family in a legitimate way.

When the Ming Dynasty had to spend nearly half or even half of the taxes a year to support these royal families, Zhu Changluo was anxious.

The pot is too big. I don’t want to think of a way to throw it out sooner or later. If the year is better now, maybe Zhu Changluo will delay it again and again. But the power of the Little Ice Age has begun to be very powerful. In winter, it is not only long but also cold. In summer, it is either a drought or a flood, and natural disasters are constantly coming. Who can bear it?

Moreover, except for the wealthy provinces in the south that can collect some taxes, the northern provinces are no longer able to make ends meet. Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue in the north and south is also managed separately, and the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing cannot receive taxes from southern provinces at all. You can imagine how difficult this day is.

So, taking this opportunity, Zhu Changluo wanted to take the power to manage the royal family in his hands.

At that time, Zhu Changluo can use his power to openly carry out the power of the royal family reform. Although he still cannot reduce the vassal states, it is better to use other means to restrict them. At least they cannot continue to occupy land and exploit relatives of the remote clan.
