Mingzhi belongs to two women first, which may be a bit strange and ironic. In fact, if you look deeper, you can understand that Mrs. Ma does not want to get into trouble, she is more concerned about the safety of her son; as for Queen Wang, she lost her son.

This has already made her a little discouraged, and she also takes power lightly. On the other hand, women are still timid and not too ambitious.

And these two women knew Yongli well, and although they were unwilling to do so, his character would hardly resist the authority of the new emperor. Then, the source of the trouble may lie with these ministers, or with his attitude towards the new emperor.

They are dissatisfied with the settlement, or they want to restore their former power, or they want to regain their support, or they are really loyal. In short, the thoughts and actions of outsiders are most likely to implicate Yongli and cause disaster.

In feudal society, when imperial power was involved, it was not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other, let alone relatives, fathers and sons. Therefore, after learning the news, Mrs. Ma solemnly declared not to use Yongli as a sign anymore and not to cause trouble for the royal family.

Yingzong's experience and the frightening days of imprisonment left a lingering fear in the hearts of Concubine Ma and Empress Wang.

Under Concubine Ma's stern words, none of the ministers openly objected. With so many people present, whoever dared to reveal their dissatisfaction with the new emperor would probably be tipped off by someone who wanted to change the court, so what was he thinking? He couldn't show it now anyway. What's more,

, the domestic situation is not clear, who dares to act rashly?

Yongli sighed, but he was not a fool. The deal was done, and at least it seemed that it could not be changed now. Then he could only admit the reality, be patient and keep a low profile. As for the future - if everyone supported him, he could just let nature take its course.

The Burmese envoy walked in from outside the cabin. He glanced around, pursed his lips slightly, showing a trace of disdain, and said: "We are about to dock. Don't forget our country's care over the past few years. Today we are sending you a gift."

When you all return home, your army will also retreat as agreed, so the Supreme Emperor must remember to issue another edict!"

Yongli was a little angry. But there were Burmese sailors and Burmese soldiers outside the boat. Without the protection of the Ming army, he could only endure it.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly, the sound of cannons rumbled, making people's ears buzz and their faces turned pale.

The Burmese envoy was shocked, thinking that the Ming army was trying to kill people and silence them, and then frame them up, so they hurried out of the cabin to take a look. All the Ming ministers didn't know the reason, so they went out to see what happened.

There was only the sound of cannons. There were no cannonballs flying. The Ming troops on the river bank were in good order, shouting in unison: "Welcome to the emperor, the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress is kind..."

The messenger was horrified, but with a look of resentment on his face, he snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.

"Your Majesty, you should go out to comfort the soldiers." Concubine Ma heard clearly in the cabin and turned to Yongli and said: "You have traveled to a foreign country and succeeded in taking over, how can you further chill the hearts of loyal and brave men?"

Again? Yongli was stunned for a moment, and then understood. This was the first time he abandoned his country and entered Burma; this was the second time when the Ming army came to greet them, but issued an edict to withdraw their troops. Well, it happened again and again.

Three!

……………

"I wish your Holiness long life, long live, long live, long live!"

Zhu Yongxing smiled happily amidst the roar of congratulations, nodded repeatedly, and started this special court meeting.

In the Jiangnan area during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was already popular for people to have a big meal on their birthday. The common people celebrated their birthdays, and so did the emperors. The birthdays of ancient Chinese emperors were different in each dynasty, but the etiquette was the same as in ancient times.

Common to all dynasties and generations.

The birthdays of ancient emperors were regarded as festivals. The rule of treating the emperor's birthday as a birthday and having a celebration ceremony in the ceremony began in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the emperor had to entertain hundreds of officials on his birthday. The officials needed to drink longevity wine.

Present a gold mirror ribbon and a dew bag made of silk. As a day of national celebration, there is also a three-day holiday to celebrate. In the Song Dynasty, all officials had to go to the palace to celebrate the birthday of the emperor, and held a feast to celebrate together.

Long blessing, Your Majesty.

The sixth day of October was Zhu Yongxing's birthday. As soon as he ascended the throne, officials from the Ministry of Rites respectfully requested Zhu Yongxing to set this day as a holiday. They also gave names such as "Qianqiu", "Shouning", "Chengtian" and "Wanshou" to Zhu Yongxing.

Choice. With different identities, the whole country must celebrate even a birthday. Zhu Yongxing thought that it would be a good thing to have a holiday and celebrate, so he penned it and designated it as the "Qianqiu" festival.

It was just that the Northern Expedition suddenly started in advance, so Zhu Yongxing did not want to celebrate in a grand manner at this time, so he ordered to keep things simple this year, no banquets, no birthday gifts, and only a theatrical troupe to perform in front of the palace gate, as an official for the people.

Have fun together.

Although it was simpler, the congratulations from the officials were still unavoidable. There was no need to eat and drink extravagantly. Zhu Yongxing also prepared some small items to reward the officials who wished him a happy birthday.

It is said to be a grand court meeting, but in fact it is a birthday party. The chief officials of each department deliberately postponed some less urgent matters for one day, so that the emperor could celebrate his birthday happily and relaxedly, and the other low-ranking officials had the opportunity to see the emperor.

Moreover, although Zhu Yongxing explained that he would not accept birthday gifts, the officials were not empty-handed. They also had a more or less understanding of the new emperor's temperament and knew that the emperor did not like luxury and only looked at his heart. So he wrote poems and paintings.

Calligraphy and painting, or presenting some small gadgets with meanings, as long as they are not too expensive, Zhu Yongxing smiled and accepted the wishes of the ministers.

Such exchanges, chatting and laughing also increased the closeness between the monarch and his ministers, and brought the relationship closer. Zhu Yongxing was relatively easy-going and did not choose people based on their official rank, which made many low-level officials feel like a spring breeze.

"Brother Huang is not in good health, why do you have to work so hard?" Zhu Yongxing was quite surprised by the arrival of King Zhu Yihai of Lu, but looking at his face, he didn't look like he was seriously ill.

"Long live my thoughts. I hereby wish your Majesty long life and good health." Lu Wang Zhu Yihai's asthma has indeed improved, but he still has other purposes for paying his birthday this time. The main purpose is to ask Zhu Yongxing for information.

The news of Myanmar returning Yongli's monarchs and ministers has been sent to them as fast as possible. Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu who was in charge of the clan mansion, knew that some clans were going to be under his management, especially Yongli. He didn't know what Zhu Yongxing meant, so he came to test it.

Zhu Yongxing almost guessed the purpose of Lu King Zhu Yihai's visit. There were so many people present. He couldn't say much, so he expressed a few words of condolences and offered him a seat.

Judging from the current situation, the Ming army is victorious and firmly grasps the strategic initiative. Although it is somewhat tight in terms of supplies, it has passed the most difficult period. After the autumn harvest in the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with the Mekong, He

As for the last season of food in Xian, Hainan and other places, relief can be expected optimistically.

Taking Yongli back from Myanmar can be regarded as solving a problem. Almost no one thinks that the cowardly Yongli will challenge Zhu Yongxing, and they do not regard it as a factor that undermines stability. In other words, Yongli will fight with Zhu Yongxing.

Like Yingzong, whether he should be imprisoned or imprisoned was only a matter of Zhu Yongxing's thoughts, and he did not have to worry about causing civil strife among his old ministers.

This is often the case in the feudal king-minister policy. When Zhu Yongxing ascends to the throne, he can cover up all the unfavorable conditions such as blood relationship and closeness. The ministers will be loyal to the emperor on the dragon throne. As for the common people, it is more practical. Who will give it to him?

They live a stable life, and whoever relaxes taxes and corvees will be a good emperor.

Judging from all aspects, Zhu Yongxing is not worried about Yongli, but is worried about the so-called "loyal ministers". For example, Mu Guogong, whose loyalty to Yongli is impeccable, is the "loyal minister" who is most likely to get things wrong. Yongli himself is

No one will have the desire to compete for position unless someone pushes him or forces him. Mu Tianbo may be one of them.

Therefore, Zhu Yongxing wanted to separate Yongli from those old ministers. He could treat Yongli loosely, but he had to strictly monitor and control certain "loyal ministers".

But Lu Wang Zhu Yihai and others did not know that according to tradition, even if there seemed to be no threat, as long as there was a slight possibility of it, for example, Emperor Yingzong and Emperor Jingtai were on guard and did not relax their vigilance at all. It could even be called harsh abuse. Therefore,

On the issue of Yongli's resettlement, no one dared to be expert and waited for Zhu Yongxing to set the rules.

In fact, when he sent Zheng Zhaoren to the Yunnan-Burma Ming Army, Zhu Yongxing had already made arrangements, but he had not yet taken Yongli back at that time, and it was just a matter of plan.

"Well, your name is Hu Yuan, and you are from the Ministry of Punishment. I have met you once. The lawsuit in Hangzhou was well settled and legal." Zhu Yongxing has a very good memory. He can also call this a junior official who is a member of the Ministry of Punishment.

come out.

This official named Hu Yuan was flattered to see that the emperor actually recognized him. He quickly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the humble minister is Hu Yuan. He has been praised by the emperor, and the humble minister is frightened."

"Don't be afraid." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand and said: "The conclusion of this case has set a standard, which will be of great benefit in the future. Hehe, he is also well-read in poetry and books, and he is well versed in righteousness. First, he forced a yellow-flowered girl to pass the door.

I'm glad that my son is dead and he still wants to marry a ghost. It's nonsense and unscrupulous. I have removed the Liu family as a member of the Jin gentry to serve as a warning to others."

"Long live the wise man." Hu Yuan quickly complimented: "The Liu family bullies others with their power and must be severely punished. Moreover, what they say and do is not in line with the words of a saint and the way of mercy and forgiveness."

"Well, the dispute over clan rights and legal rights cannot be resolved in a short time. The Ministry of Punishment has a heavy responsibility. If you are willing to do it, I am optimistic about you." Zhu Yongxing smiled and nodded, and motioned to the female officer next to him to award the reward to him.

Hu Yuan.

In feudal society, although the hierarchical system and the Shiqing system were replaced by the bureaucracy and the county system, so that the patriarchal system was no longer directly expressed as the country's political system, its basic spirit and principles were inherited and widely used.

Develop in depth.

From their long-term rule experience, the feudal rulers realized the special role of patriarchy and clan power in maintaining rule, and tried to implement the task of consolidating the feudal country into the family, through thousands of families and clan organizations. To restrain and control the working people. Therefore, parents and patriarchs are usually legally given various privileges to rule family members.

But Zhu Yongxing does not agree with this, because his long-term goal is to make China move from a feudal society to a capitalist society. This is the law of historical development, not some fantastic idea of ​​his. Therefore, patriarchy and clan power are It has become an obstacle to his establishment of a legal society and must be weakened and eliminated.

In the marriage-related case that Hu Yuan tried, there were not only clan rights, but also patriarchal rights, and women’s rights, which were intertwined. Zhu Yongxing was able to withstand the pressure of traditional secularity and use values ​​consistent with Zhu Yongxing to resolve the case. It’s no surprise that it’s appreciated.
