Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaojiu walked together, and Zhu Gaojiu followed behind. After a while, Zhu Zhanji also came over. The black boy looked at the Zhu brothers in front of him who were holding hands and talking and laughing, with an angry expression on their little faces.
look.
"Cousin, second uncle, third uncle, I lost a lot of money today."
Xu Jingchang nodded, "It's indeed not small!"
"Grandpa Huang was defeated!"
"That's right, it was your grandpa Huang who did it."
Zhu Zhanji was so angry. He clenched his little fists and said angrily: "Prince Ning violated the national law and the Ministry of Punishment has already sentenced him. They have to pay off the debt for generations, but the emperor just said a word and he was forgiven. What is this? Playing to gain power."
?”
Xu Jingchang said: "Grandson, it seems that you cannot say that. Your Majesty did not exempt the money, but only said that it would be returned instead... In other words, the royal money will be used to replenish the treasury, and the court will not suffer any loss."
"But the royal family has suffered a loss, that is to say, I have suffered a loss." Zhu Zhanji was furious, "My father used to spend my money, but now it is Grandpa Huang. I am so pitiful. Cousin, what should I do?
?”
Xu Jingchang blinked, "It all depends on your great-grandson's ability... You need to study more and think of ways to control Grandpa Qin Huang. Don't let him wander around or see anyone."
.”
Zhu Zhanji thought about it seriously, "Then there is only one way. It is best to let him indulge in fun... There is always something suitable for Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's faces turned dark. This bastard is not a big man, but he is really cruel.
If we wait for him to ascend the throne, we will definitely not end well... We should just find an excuse to push this guy into the canal and drown...
Lao Zhu's father is kind and his son is filial, and his brothers and sisters are respectful to each other. That's really nothing to say.
A few of them were chatting in the back. Zhu Di in front had no idea that they had entered the first-floor courtyard of the Martyrs' Memorial Hall... This is the exhibition room, which mainly stores some important cultural relics...
For example, what is the one in the middle?
The kings rubbed their eyes and saw clearly that it was a rough porcelain bowl with a missing mouth.
Couldn't it be the one used in the Imperial Examination back then?
Zhu Di came over, carefully took it out, held it in his hand, and showed it in front of the brothers.
"This was invited from Fengyang not long ago." The implication is that although it may not be the one that Lao Zhu used originally, it is at least somewhat related.
"It's not easy for our Zhu family! When Huang Kao was young, there was a famine, and his family was destroyed. So many relatives were gone, and only Huang Kao was left. He went to the temple to be a novice, holding a broken bowl, and traveled all over Huaixi.
Begging for food, sleeping in the open air, weathering the wind and rain. Who would have thought at that time that such a beggar could dominate the world?"
The kings nodded one after another, and Zhu Zhu also sighed: "Yes, it was difficult for my father to start a business, and he conquered the world with common people. This has never happened before, and only one person has lived through the ages!"
Zhu Di nodded, "Fifth brother is right, so we, as sons, must cherish our father's inheritance and always work for the good of the Ming Dynasty. If this country fails in our hands, we really can't see it.
Imperial Examination."
All the kings nodded.
Zhu Di carefully put the broken bowl back and looked to both sides. There were very rich things in it... There was a large governor's seal with text next to it. This was what Zhu Wenzheng used at the time.
When mentioning Zhu Wenzheng, one has to think of the Battle of Hongdu.
That was definitely the most critical battle for the Zhu Yuanzhang Group.
Zhu Wenzheng led more than 20,000 people and defended Hongdu for more than a hundred days against dozens of times the enemy's troops. He was stunned to beat Chen Youliang until he lost his temper.
Later, Lao Zhu's main force arrived and fought decisively at Poyang Lake. This battle established the overall situation for the south and established the general trend of unification.
After this battle, hundreds of thousands of Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce generals and troops became unstoppable.
Destroy Zhang Shicheng, go north to recover the Central Plains, and attack Yanyun...
Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt excited and excited.
However, due to Zhu Wenzheng's bad end, no one dared to mention the fierce battle in Hongdu, and it was gradually forgotten.
Now in the Martyrs' Shrine, there is actually this governor's seal, which is really thoughtful.
In addition, there is a more important treasure here, that is Zhu Yuanzhang's "Edict to the Central Plains".
Drive out the Huru and restore China!
Even after hundreds of years, these eight characters are still shining and ringing!
It was even used for secondary creation.
Zhu Di leaned over and looked at Yu Zhongyuan, with a rare smile on his face.
"Look at it, that's right. Our Ming Dynasty came here to expel the barbarians and restore China. My father wrote it clearly, and he also said that prosperity brings blessings. This is nonsense!"
Zhu Chun, the king of Shu who was following him, also leaned forward to look at it, read it carefully, and then sighed: "That's right, that's right! That's it! Your Majesty, I want a copy, take it back and study it carefully."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "The emperor said at the beginning that you were a scholar from Shu, and that you are the best at reading among our brothers. I believe you can write a better article!"
Zhu Chun's face turned red and he sighed: "I was a fool in the past and didn't understand it at all. From now on, I just want to be down-to-earth and study hard, so as not to misinterpret the ancients."
Zhu Di nodded and said happily: "If you have this intention, you will definitely succeed."
Zhu Di took the big guy and looked around... I have to say that Xu Jingchang was very practical. The things collected here are not very valuable, let alone glittering treasures, but each item represents a period of glory of the Ming Dynasty.
History is a priceless treasure.
After looking around, Zhu Di looked back at several brothers.
"Tell me what you think?" Zhu Di asked around, but no one dared to talk at first.
After a long silence, King Ning Zhu Quan bravely said: "Your Majesty, I want to say a few words, but I am afraid that if I say the wrong thing, Your Majesty will be offended."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Why are you so cowardly? I didn't help you pay back the money. What has happened in the past is in the past, brothers, why should I blame you!"
After receiving encouragement, Zhu Quan finally said bravely: "To answer your Majesty's question, I have two thoughts. First, it is difficult to start a business in the imperial examination. It is not easy. Who would have thought that a monk and beggar could dominate the world?
, became the lord of China? He even expelled the Huru and took back the Han Dynasty. How difficult is it? As for the second one, I think it is our Ming Dynasty that restored the Yuan Dynasty and everything was renewed. It is different from other dynasties.
, we are reviving Taoism and rebuilding China. It is reasonable to have any unique national policies, no need to make a fuss... I wonder what you brothers think?"
Zhu Quan said this very well. The first half of the sentence was a compliment to Lao Zhu, while the second half was a subtle compliment to Zhu Di.
Everything in the Ming Dynasty has been renewed. Whatever new methods Zhu Di uses to formulate new national policies, you just listen honestly and no one is naughty, otherwise you will reap the rewards.
All the vassal kings naturally understood. Some agreed and some opposed, but no one dared to refute.
Zhu Di had already finished speaking the unpleasant words, the deal was done, and there was nothing they could do to make a comeback.
I have no choice but to agree.
"We all agree with your majesty's royal family regulations. Your majesty is far-sighted, all for the good of the Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of the emperor's foundation."
"It's not easy for Your Majesty. Fourth brother has good intentions!"
…
Facing the praise from a group of younger brothers, Zhu Di showed a happy smile.
"Okay, let's go ahead and go to the back to pay homage to King Zhongshan and all the ministers who have made great contributions."
Zhu Di was in a good mood. The clan issue that had troubled the Ming Dynasty for a long time had finally come to a conclusion. Although it was not complete, it had greatly reduced the burden on the people.
The news quickly spread to Yingtian, and in Wuying Hall, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, and other ministers were quite emotional.
"Xia Shangshu, can you estimate how much money can be saved?"
Prince Zhu Gaochi asked curiously.
Xia Yuanji smiled and said: "Your Highness, needless to say about the salary of the palace, a palace must be equipped with three guards and horses, as well as various craftsmen. To support the expenses of a palace, it is necessary to consume the wealth of the palace. I'm afraid
It's not enough. If it were the King of Sai, it would be even more. I roughly estimate that this good policy can save more than five million taels of expenses. The local people will benefit a lot."
Xia Yuanji paused and then said: "After the abolition of the palace, the local situation is now very clear. Without the palace and the farm, clearing the land can increase a lot of tax revenue. In short, this move has great benefits and benefits the country and the people.
"
Zhu Gaochi was in a good mood, "So, Duke Ding has made great achievements again?"
Xia Yuanji was startled, but even though he was unwilling to admit it, he nodded, "Dong Dingguo is indeed extraordinary. He was able to convince Your Majesty to reform the clan, which is a great contribution to the world. People everywhere will be grateful to Duke Dingguo for his kindness.
"
Zhu Gaochi nodded, "Xia Shangshu can say this, which shows that he is open-minded. I would like to thank Xia Shangshu on behalf of my cousin."
Xia Yuanji hurriedly said: "I just tell the truth and don't dare to go against my will."
Zhu Gaochi praised: "This is very rare, Xia Shangshu, this move has abolished the royal palaces in various places. I have an idea, which is to turn the royal palaces in various places into schools."
"Change the palace into a school?" Xia Yuanji became alert, "Your Highness, how do you want to change it?"
"It's very simple. It's to convert the original expenses for the palace into tuition fees, clear the palace and use it as a school. Then recruit students from all over the world to study in the school. The palace of Prince Zhu Jiafan will be a place for the world's scholars to study and support.
The vassal king's money and food were used to educate talents for the Ming Dynasty. This move can be regarded as benefiting the country and the people, right?"
Xia Yuanji's expression changed, the expression of Jian Yi next to him also changed, and the other important ministers also changed again and again.
"Your Highness, we should focus on saving people's power and let the people rest and recuperate more." Jian Yi said slowly.
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile but not a smile: "Recuperating and recuperating does not mean doing nothing. And even if the royal palace's expenses are stopped, the money may not return to the hands of the people. It is better to use it to run schools. I made some calculations. In this way, at least
Tens of thousands of students can be added.”
Xia Yuanji paused and wondered: "Your Highness, most of these royal palaces are in the north. Doing this would be inappropriate for scholars in the south."
Zhu Gaochi suddenly laughed, "Xia Shangshu, have you forgotten that the current situation is much better for scholars in the south than in the north! I am also trying to balance the north and the south!"
