During the small court meeting in front of the emperor, facing the ministers Zhu Yunxi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, full of banter.
"Don't they regard these students who don't go along with them and come to the capital to take the exam as enemies and bandits?"
"Aren't they slandering me and the imperial court?"
“Aren’t they resisting the New Deal?”
"Then I will let these successful candidates go to be officials in the place where the exams are the most violent! Let these new scholars who are hostile to them but follow the imperial court wholeheartedly, settle old scores and new grudges with them!
"
The reason why he dared to do this was because he had the confidence.
Nearly all the students on the list who were selected as scholars mentioned in the new policy discussion that the officials and gentry were a hidden danger to the country. Land annexation led to population loss and reduced tax revenue.
Everyone has seen that the New Deal can extend the life of the Ming Dynasty!
Everyone can see that the New Deal is a good thing for the country and the people!
It is an outright conspiracy between the imperial court and the officials and gentry to compete for local say!
This is what Zhu Yunxi wants. If the old class is not broken, there will never be a new class.
There will never be anything new, this empire just keeps changing the soup without changing the medicine!
Technology can develop slowly, and concepts can slowly change...
Everything can be done slowly, but these cancers must be removed early... and never cause future troubles!
Hearing the emperor's words, the ministers felt like they were in a mirror.
The emperor has always seemed to be indifferent to Jiangnan's affairs, but in fact the emperor is angry in his heart!
To allow the Jinshi scholars of Jinke to serve as officials in the four provinces of Jiangnan is a disgusting person who is changing the law.
Just imagine, these new scholars who were scolded by the gentry who dismissed their examinations in Jiangnan will definitely retaliate in the same way after arriving in Jiangnan!
"You must be so fucking bad!"
Zhu Gaochi sat opposite Zhu Yunxi and thought to himself, "Are you letting them go to the four provinces of Jiangnan to serve as officials? Are you trying to do something stupid there? By then, there will be countless Li Zhigang in the four provinces of Jiangnan. Even if the officials and gentry of Jiangnan don't allow these
He died suddenly and was half paralyzed..."
Suddenly, just as he was thinking about it, he felt a chill on his forehead.
Looking up, the emperor was looking at him askance, "What are you thinking about?"
"I...haven't you thought about anything?" Zhu Gaochi said innocently, blinking his clear little eyes.
"Don't skip the meeting!" Zhu Yunxi scolded, "How come you haven't changed your problem after so many years? When you were studying in the palace, you were always distracted! You didn't ask questions about what the bachelor taught you, and even if you answered the question, you didn't know the answer.
Now that you are in a high position, you can't change your problem of slipping in, right?"
"Which of us is the one who doesn't study well all day long when he's studying and wanders around in the world, then isn't that you?"
Zhu Gaochi cursed loudly in his heart, but he still said with fear on his face, "The emperor has taught you a lesson!"
Zhu Yunxi felt even more comfortable after saying a few words to the fat man.
You damn fat man, what are you doing with Qi Zhu?
Your father's military training is your father's business. Your father's business is handled by me, the emperor, from behind. Why do you want to go forward?
If you keep quarreling, if you keep looking for Qi, believe it or not, I will send you to the Annan front line as cannon fodder?
I said to knock down Annan and use it as the inheritance place of your father's lineage, so that you can enjoy the happiness for thousands of years. Did I fucking say that to you? I will keep you under my nose for the rest of your life, and I will yell at you every day!

"Report to the Emperor!"
Seeing that the emperor had complained enough and used the king's minister Zhu Gaochi as a punching bag, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu spoke.
"The Goryeo slave army you ordered to be recruited is in full strength, and training is being stepped up in Goryeo. Wu Lun, the chief military officer of the Burmese camp, has prepared 20,000 Burmese servants, and he is also willing to pioneer for the country..."
When it was time to talk about business, Zhu Yunxi's face became serious.
"The soldiers are practicing on the spot!" Zhu Yunxi said, "It's too much to send so many people to Guangdong and Guangxi. We can wait until the envoys who deliver the order come back from Annan before making plans!"
"Yes!" Xu Huizu paused and whispered, "These servant armies are temporarily training in place, but... even though the servant army can be paid, we still have to..."
His words were unclear, but his meaning was expressed clearly.
I am a cannon fodder, do I have to give him some sweetness first?
"Well, the War Department of the Governor's Mansion will discuss it with the Household Department later!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Although they are servants of the army, they are all innocent sons of the Ming Dynasty, and I must treat them equally!"
"The Ministry of Revenue has no money!" Zhang Yan said immediately, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that military expenditures should not be funded by the Ministry of Revenue?"
"You put it on first!" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "Put it on... When Suzhou's military expenses are deported to Beijing, I will give you as much as your Ministry of Household Affairs spent!"
Zhang Yan's eyebrows trembled and he thought for a while, "Your Majesty, when it comes to attacking Annan, Guangdong and Guangxi already have 60,000 troops, so why more are needed! Korea and Burma are all barbarians, capricious people, so we can't use them!"
No matter how much money I have, I am still afraid of running away during the war and wasting the opportunity to fight..."
"I think there are few people here!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Annan is not as easy to fight as the people from your hometown!" He counted, looked at the ministers, and said, "The Jin Yiwei is here to play, and Annan Li Ji Ya can be used.
There are seven million people..."
He said with a sneer, "If I follow my original intention, I should send out 200,000 troops from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Fujian, Shandong and other places, and gather another 100,000 servants to crush them all!"
"Hiss..." Zhang Yan took a breath of air and thought to himself, "How much will this cost?"
"You civil servants don't understand the matter of war!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "You must have enough capable soldiers, the more the better. In the past, when Qin attacked Chu, Wang Jian thought it would take 600,000 people. But Li Xin said 200,000 would be enough, and the result was a huge defeat.
Losing a teacher is humiliating the country!"
"Later, with Wang Jian as commander, he had to recruit 600,000 men to destroy Chu! Annan was a small country and did not dare to compete with Chu. But after all, our army was on an expedition with many troops, and we should be more careful than others!"
"And once the Li thieves are captured and the world of Annan is cleared, prefectures and counties will inevitably be established...Although Annan's etiquette and law are inherited from the Chinese, if there are no soldiers in the country, how can we know whether they will have the intention to rebel again?"
Regarding the use of troops against Annan, the monarch and his ministers had already reached an agreement.
Needless to say, the military men and women also had another reason why the civil servants agreed and even raised their hands in approval.
That is, according to the latest news, the puppet king of Annan, Li Ji Mao, has actually begun to belittle Confucianism and pursue Taoism in Annan!
Isn’t this fucking against you?
Moreover, the Lijimao man has publicly stated several times that Annan is a remnant of the Chinese and has been enslaved by the Chinese for thousands of years... To create Annan script in Annan and replace Chinese characters, it means to sinicize!
In the eyes of civil servants, this is a crime that would be cut to pieces with a thousand cuts!
If we stop speaking Chinese and start advocating Annan’s own national uniqueness, wouldn’t that mean rejecting the tribute system of Great China?
Who gave you the courage?
Dare you not write Chinese characters?
Grandma!
"Your Majesty!" Cao Guogong Li Jinglong said with a smile, "Annanli is a thief and a clown, and he will be captured as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive!" After saying that, he stood up and saluted, "I congratulate your Majesty!"
"How happy are you?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.
"It's still dark this morning, so the officials who were envoys to Champa sent people to reply quickly!" Li Jinglong took out a memorial from his sleeve, "The credential of the King of Champa!!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled, "What did you write?"
Li Jinglong held the certificate of credence in both hands and said with a smile, "The angel came to Champa. The king was overjoyed and grateful... Since the 27th year of Hongwu, Annan has repeatedly invaded the border with troops and plundered the land and population of Champa..."
"Hearing that our emperor has the intention to control Annan, the king of Champa burst into tears and said that my emperor's kindness and kindness can allow even small border countries to bathe in the emperor's favor!"
"The king of Champa wrote in his ceremonial certificate that he would like to beg for the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and ask my emperor to send officials to rule!"
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed, "The King of Champa is willing to take all the soldiers and civilians of Champa, the three prefectures and the seventy-two counties to be our servants of the Ming Dynasty forever!"
