Although Zhu Yijun is not afraid of clan trouble, clan is the most basic component of feudal society, and the way the royal family handles clans will directly affect the stability of the clan-based social system. Moreover, for people who highly recognize the "friendship of relatives"
For the people of the Ming Dynasty, an emperor who treated his clan harshly could not be kind to all people in the world - this directly affected the emperor's legitimacy.
As a modern person, Zhu Yijun could not understand this at the beginning of his time travel. But in the past few years, he has seen too many and heard too many examples of people who sacrificed their lives for the rise and fall of their clan. Everything is for the survival of the culture of the clan.
Genes have been written into the blood and marrow of ancient Chinese people, which is difficult for future generations after the clan system has completely disintegrated.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun was very tolerant of the princes and princes who had come to Beijing. While taking good care of their lives and entertainment, he also took precious time to meet with the princes and vassals in succession, almost doing their ideological work one by one.
Throughout May, Zhu Yijun focused most of his energy on the vassal conference. After careful and patient preparation, the official day of the third vassal conference in early June finally arrived.
The clan members who came to Beijing all got on the newly purchased luxury carriages and headed to Nanyuan Campus, surrounded by cheers and crowds.
This sect-vassal conference was held in the newly built auditorium of Nanyuan Martial Arts. After more than two years of construction, Nanyuan Martial Arts finally took on the appearance of a later university and barracks. The soldiers in the Beijing camp also ended living in tents at the end of the summer of the fifth year of Wanli.
On that day, I moved into a brand new barracks.
According to the established regulations, the emperor will inspect the capital camp with all the royal relatives to show the world's "family friendship" and at the same time show the emperor's relatives the greatest guarantee for the eternal stability of the Zhu family.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is also an implicit warning: no matter how the court manipulates you, you'd better not have any thoughts of "Jingnan", because I can wipe you out with one hand - and there will still be some left.
.
Sure enough, after the training of new recruits and the formation of the army after the nine-sided round of battles, the Jingying camp's military majesty made everyone in the audience tremble with fear. It can even be said that the power of the new army has exceeded the limit of their imagination.
Especially after the artillery salvo blasted a section of the thirty-foot-long stone city wall into the sky at the training ground, the timid princes did not dare to raise their heads when they looked at Zhu Yijun. They could only lower their heads and roll their eyes upwards to take a peek.
Perhaps the broken leg stimulated the secretion of bone. The fifteen-year-old Zhu Yijun's head has jumped up again. He is close to five feet five inches (according to: 1.75 meters), which is seven centimeters taller than the Wanli Emperor in parallel time and space.
There are two reasons. First, Zhu Yijun has strengthened his exercise after time travel and often does exercises that help bone development; on the other hand, he also consciously supplements calcium, such as insisting on consuming milk and eating high-calcium foods.
Zhu Yijun achieved satisfactory results through long-term exercise and calcium intake, but Wang Lu couldn't. Both he and Zhu Yijun had diarrhea due to lactose intolerance, but Zhu Yijun gradually overcame it by drinking less and more frequently.
symptoms.
King Lu does not have Zhu Yijun's willpower and is a bit greedy. Now he has grown into a fat man. Although he is eleven years old, he is still chubby and cute.
As the emperor's brother, King Lu's appearance at this sect-vassal meeting is also appropriate. King Lu Zhu Yitan, who has been accompanying him for half a month, is also fat and has a lot in common with King Lu. Because of fear
He was frightened when he was watching the firearms demonstration. King Lu hugged King Lu and covered his ears.
After the military parade was over, everyone moved to the auditorium, where the princes and princes sat together in front of the large round table that had been set up according to seniority.
After the ritual music was played, Zhu Yijun, accompanied by cabinet ministers and several vassals such as King Lu, King Zhou, and King Zheng, arrived at the scene and delivered a passionate speech. The main meaning of the speech was that the clan now has more than 80,000 people, except those present here
You all barely have enough to eat, and most of the poor clans are either hungry or have become thieves who extort money and plunder. As the common leader of the clan, I, Zhu Yijun, have not done a good job!
When everyone spoke one after another, they said that this had nothing to do with the emperor. The emperor treated the clan with great grace, and no one could find fault with it. When Zhu Yijun saw that what everyone said seemed to be true, he stopped blaming himself and waved his hands to ask everyone to be quiet.
Listen to him continue his speech.
Zhu Yijun said that the imperial court owed everyone so much money that it was almost thirty million shi. Now there are many projects and the war in Burma is going on. The money is flowing like a river. It is really difficult. Not only can we not pay back the old debt, even if we no longer have it,
It's impossible not to have enough hair. As the parent of all of us, I can't let everyone go hungry.
In order to solve the problem of food for Taizu's descendants, the imperial court could only enrich the country and strengthen the army, so it began to reform. Now that the law has been reformed, we must also change the clan system. Although Taizu's design at the time was quite good, he was extremely poor.
Unexpectedly, even if the Ming Dynasty’s taxes were fully distributed, it would not be enough for everyone to chew grain.
These words are all reasonable, and the clan members present here also said that the clan system should be changed! Nowadays, the poor clans who cannot afford food go to the palaces of major princes every day to cause famine and cause trouble. They are bored to death. If the imperial court allows them to have a career, it will be considered
Infinite merit.
King Zhou waited for the emperor to finish speaking, then stood up and said: "What the emperor said makes sense. Our clan does not study, does not have a career, and only lives as rice bugs. How can we look like the descendants of Taizu? Even if the emperor doesn't say it, we are all the same."
I’m so embarrassed! I don’t dare to tell other people’s family, but our family firmly supports the emperor’s change of this system - will the descendants of Zhu Zaicheng starve to death if they don’t eat the rice from the imperial court?”
Zhu Yijun laughed loudly after hearing this, pointed at King Zhou and said: "King Zhou said it well!" Everyone listened to the emperor praising King Zhou, and all the princes who were a little ambitious about politics also stood up one after another and expressed their feelings to the emperor and King Zhou.
Same meaning.
After Zhu Yijun had finished talking to them, he ordered the food to be served and said with a smile: "Let's chat while we eat." After hearing what he said, the band started playing music again.
Amidst the solemn and elegant accompaniment, the state banquet wine and food were flown into the auditorium. Although the dining style was very high, the dishes at this banquet were not very interesting. There were fish and meat, but the color, smell and taste made it look like a roadside restaurant.
It felt like it was difficult for the imperial chefs to understand Zhu Yijun's spirit. This banquet smelled shabby from the inside out.
King Lu, who was sitting next to Zhu Yijun, had never eaten food treated like this before. He was usually used to light food, but when he suddenly encountered a dish with a strong taste, he couldn't help but move his index finger and swish his cheeks away to eat fiercely.
King Lu, who was sitting opposite the two of them, felt distressed. He took a chopstick of cherry meat and handed it to King Lu, saying, "Hey, I really didn't expect that the emperor would live like this!"
Prince Zheng chuckled secretly in his stomach, and said with a look of sympathy on his face: "It is really not easy for the emperor to be in charge of this family!"
