This is the Qianqing Palace of the Ming Dynasty! We are the Ming Dynasty! What are you talking about? What are you talking about?
All monks under the age of 40 return to secular life and work in the fields!
All nuns under the age of 40 return to secular life and become wives!
You haven't returned to secular life yet! You guys have even found your husband-in-law for others? And you still say you don't want to choose?
This Ming Dynasty was full of dynasties...
Zhu Gaochi glanced around, especially the civil servants.
Usually these people consider themselves to be gentlemen, but now, look at their faces...
They really want to blow up all the temples in the world!
At this time, Zhu Gaochi's mind reappeared in Fang Xiaoru's words, "There are no good people in the Ming Dynasty!"
~
"Well, your beloved friends' words are very much in my heart!"
Zhu Yunxi said, "Xie Aiqing!"
Xie Jin came out and said, "I'm here!"
"It is proposed that all the monks and nuns under the age of forty-five in all provinces of the Ming Dynasty will return to secular life and become common people!" He said with a cold snort, "When the people are in dire straits and the world is in chaos, it is a last resort for the people to devote themselves to temples for food and clothing. However, it is a last resort. Now the world is peaceful and the world is bustling...can't they be tolerated?"
"I obey the decree!"
"You are so cruel!" Zhu Gaochi said in his heart, "The civil servants told you that they were under forty years old, but you just said under forty-five years old! You are so cruel!"
"For those who have returned to secular life, local governments must report their names to the Ministry of Household Affairs and then place them properly!" Zhu Yunxi added, "In addition, what Cao Guogong said just now is also very reasonable!"
Then he looked at the ministers and said, "There are still more temples! Without so many temples, there wouldn't be so many young and middle-aged monks!"
"What the emperor said is absolutely true!" Ren Hengtai, the Minister of Rites, laughed again, "There are still too many temples in the world! Famous ancient temples are naturally good, but those wild temples must be strictly rectified!"
"Well, the Ministry of Rites will handle it as appropriate!" Zhu Yunxi nodded.
"This guy is not a good person either!"
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Ren Hengtai. In the past, he had always thought that the Minister of Rites was a bit ordinary, not very talkative or expressing his opinions.
Now it seems that it's not that he doesn't like to express opinions, it's that he won't speak until it's time for him to speak.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi scratched his head slightly again.
"Actually, the Lingyin Temple case could have been prevented earlier!" Zhu Yunxi added, "Let's just talk about the capital. There are not just one or two cases of missing children, but most of them have disappeared!"
Then he sneered, "An old man selling candy on the street can tell who is a trafficker and stop him. Yingtian Mansion has so many servants, but I have never heard of them catching a trafficker!"
The hustle and bustle in the Palace of Qianqing suddenly fell into silence.
But everyone knows that Yingtian Mansion is going to be in trouble again!
This position is not easy to sit in. Even Iron Head only temporarily took over and then immediately left the dangerous position.
The officials under the emperor's nose are like punching bags, and their lives are in danger at any time!
Cao Guogong Li Jinglong came out again, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm helping Ying Tianfu to say good things, but there is a hidden secret in this matter!"
"Come and listen!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"Last year's census showed that there were 220,000 households in the capital! A family of five would be over one million!"
Li Jinglong opened his mouth and said, "These are just civilian households, not counting the family members of the garrison, as well as the number of officials and their family members in the court!"
"It doesn't include the students and businessmen who live in the capital temporarily. It doesn't even count the generation of people in Nancheng who make a living by working!"
"There are also various craftsmen, slaves without household registration...and people outside the city walls. If we include them all, I'm afraid this number will increase several times!"
"With more people, there are more things to do!" Li Jinglong continued, "Yingtian Mansion manages millions of soldiers and civilians, and there will always be some things that it cannot take care of! Especially when it comes to public security!"
"The inner city is full of dignitaries, so it's natural to have everything perfect! The outer city, as well as the land that combines urban and rural areas, will inevitably be short of manpower!"
"Of course this is just one of them. The most important thing is that the capital has too many people. In terms of public security, you have to ask your superiors for instructions on everything."
"This makes the procedures cumbersome and bloated. By the time the superior officer replies, the culprits who may have been arrested will have been arrested long ago, and the case to be investigated will be cold!"
"Besides, I don't mean it to be nice! In the capital, everyone hopes to live in peace and harmony! If some trivial matters lead to a big fight, it might affect an official's career!"
"So it is better for everyone to do less than to do more! As long as we maintain the superficial stability, it is a great achievement!"
Although Li Jinglong's words were quite reserved, who among the ministers in the palace was not a human being?
The main security force in Yingtian Mansion is the Military and Horse Division, which listens to the adults in Yingtian Mansion.
What the adults want is stability... The Bingma Division cannot cause trouble every now and then!
Whenever something goes wrong under the Emperor’s feet, it’s because these officials are incompetent! When there are too many things happening under the Emperor’s feet, it’s because these officials are incompetent!
There can be nothing but nothing at the feet of the world!
If you have nothing to do, you may not be promoted; if you have something to do, you will definitely be unlucky!
Everyone, just stay safe and enjoy your term!
"I understand what you mean!" Zhu Yunxi pondered, "You are saying that Yingtian Mansion is overstaffed and the upper and lower structures are too bloated, especially in matters of public security! The Military and Horse Division only has the power to govern the people, but it has not bypassed those superiors.
, the power to trace and arrest people and even review and investigate cases?”
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled, "It's not that there's nothing, but it's that how they act depends on Ying Tianfu's eyes, for fear of causing trouble to the adults? So...it's not that they can't be caught, but that they are passive and sabotage.
.....?"
"Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong shouted immediately.
~~
"Why!"
Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart, "Who dares to step forward if you are passive and sabotage? How many officials have been killed in Yingtian Mansion from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to now? Just when you were assassinated a few days ago, everyone died..."
"Now that I am an official in Yingtian Mansion, I do not seek merit but seek no faults...those officials pray to God and Buddha every day to pray for peace!"
Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, pondered for a moment, then looked at the third row of civil servants, "Ministry of Punishment!"
"I'm here!"
Hou Tai, the Minister of Punishment, bowed his head and came out.
Seeing this person, Zhu Gaochi's eyes narrowed secretly.
Like the ministers in Nanshufang, this old man must have a low reputation. Although he holds the position of Minister, he has always been somewhat silent and has no sense of presence in the court.
But Zhu Gaochi knew that this was the Iron Tou among the Iron Tou, the Super Iron Tou.
Hou Tai, a native of Shunde, is upright and hates evil as much as he hates it.
The reason why he has no sense of presence in the DPRK is because he hardly expresses his opinions in public.
Why not express your opinion?
Because when he opens his mouth, he speaks Cantonese!
"From now on, the Military and Horse Department and Inspection Department of the capital will be separated from Yingtian Mansion and directly under the management of the Ministry of Justice!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"Your Majesty..." Hou Tai said.
"It is their duty to arrest bandits and solve cases. The imperial court does not raise them just to parade in the streets!" Zhu Yunxi added, "As for how to directly control them, I will tell you in detail after the dynasty is over!"
"I...are a perfect chicken!"
"But having said that, the position of Yingtian Mansion still needs someone who is responsible for it!" Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment, "Do you have any good candidates?"
The ministers in the palace were silent. If it was their enemy, they would not mind letting their enemy become the governor of Yingtian Mansion.
But asking them to recommend it? Forget it!
"I have two choices!"
Everyone looked up in surprise. The person speaking was the great scholar Xie Jin.
