The auction inside the Yangzhou Interior Office was in full swing, and the execution ground outside Yangzhou City was filled with people, wailing on one side and excited shouting. From this moment on, Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty began to become different.

Capital City, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun pushed the memorial in front of him aside in annoyance, and a look of sorrow appeared on his face.

The matter of opening the ban in the past few days has caused a lot of controversy, and all the memorials from the court have been handed in. Some agree, while others disagree, and they are quarreling. Whenever such a thing happens, the ministers will be excited.

But Zhu Yijun was not concerned about this, he was concerned about the Northwest.

If Qi Jiguang can win, he will dominate the world. If Qi Jiguang cannot win, he will be over. If he wins, he can open the ban. Then he is a wise emperor and a wise monarch. If he can't win, he can't open the ban.

The Ming Dynasty's strict defense against the vassal kings was actually because the Ming Dynasty's vassal kings had precedents of rebellion.

In addition to the successful rebellion of Chengzu Zhu Di, Zhu Gaosui's rebellion later also followed by the rebellion of King Ning and the restoration of Emperor Yingzong. In addition, there were countless rebellions of vassal kings in all dynasties, which was also a worrying thing.

"Go and call Wang Xijue to me!"

I really couldn't bear to see the memorial, so Zhu Yijun was going to talk to Wang Xijue.

Not to mention the matter of opening the vassal ban, Wang Xijue is still interesting. He dared to ask this question and also made detailed information. This is a person who works, and Zhu Yijun likes such a person.

Wang Xijue has been in the sight of a storm these days, and he has raised the matter of opening the ban.

After being summoned by the emperor, Wang Xijue did not dare to delay and soon arrived at Wenhua Palace.

"My minister, Wang Xijue, please see Your Majesty!" Wang Xijue respectfully saluted Zhu Yijun.

He waved his hand and signaled Wang Xijue to exempt him from the gift. Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "I came to my dear today, mainly to talk to you about the vassal ban. It is definitely not possible to open the vassal ban, but if you don't open the vassal ban, the occupation of land and the lumi are indeed the same."

"My dear intention is to directly release the ban on the vassal state, but I want to ask, if the vassal state is rashly opened, will there be other problems?"

"Although the problems of the vassal kings and royal families are very serious now, they are generally stable. Apart from the consumption of more rice every year, there is nothing else." Zhu Yijun said here, saying a little hesitantly: "If the vassal ban is really opened, will there be other problems?"

Wang Xijue was not too surprised after hearing Zhu Yijun's words, and this was already within his expectations.

It is normal for the emperor to have concerns about opening the ban on the vassal state. As long as the emperor does not refuse it sincerely, this is good. Wang Xijue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there may be problems with opening the vassal state, but if it is not opened, the court's finances may not be able to support it."

"How should the beloved minister open up? How should the royal family be placed? Should he still be left in the fiefdom? Can he be allowed to hold an official position in the fiefdom?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Xijue and said lightly, in fact, the ban must be opened, but there is a special point in how to open it and who will open it. Now Zhu Yijun is planning to turn his meaning into Wang Xijue's meaning.

After hearing Zhu Yijun's questions, Wang Xijue's expression became serious.

These problems are really a waste of life. If the vassal kings are really allowed to take up their fiefdoms and allow them to become officials or generals, it will be easy to make the vassal kings bigger in the local area, which will be more than worth the loss.

Once the vassal kings become bigger in the local area, then they know what will happen.

"Your Majesty, I think that the land occupied by the princes should be moved to the capital, and all the land occupied by the prince's mansion will be taken back by the court." Wang Xijue said without thinking, and he also knew that this was the answer the emperor wanted and what the emperor wanted him to say.

"The royal family can reduce the titles of the titles for five generations, and after the Five Generations, they will be eliminated."

There is such a thing among the people. The grace is only for the Five Dynasties. The meaning is very simple. The kindness of ancestors is enough to pass on the Five Dynasties, and there is no more.

"The title is only passed on to the legitimate son, and the rest of the royal family are not awarded the title."

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Xijue with a very light expression on his face, but he felt that Wang Xijue was a good person. This is what he wanted to say, but he also knew that he could not say this. Seeing that Wang Xijue said it without hesitation, Zhu Yijun nodded with a smile.

"What I said makes sense!" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Xijue and nodded with a smile.

Both the monarch and minister knew what was going on, but the two had a tacit understanding.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yijun said, "I am planning to build a royal school in the capital. The royal children can enter school for free to study and practice martial arts, so as not to waste their studies. As for what you said, I think you should take voluntarily first!"

"All royal families can voluntarily invite them back to the capital, and the royal palace will be taken back by the court. As for the land, please give some compensation!"

Zhu Yijun thought for a while and sighed: "Give the money at half of the land market price. This money will be paid by my inner treasury!"

Although Zhu Yijun's money is very tight, it still has to be spent. Besides, the land is paid for at half the price. No matter how you look at it, it is a good deal. Losing some money in exchange for freedom, Zhu Yijun feels that even if you adopt the principle of voluntary, someone should be willing.

Don’t mention the matter of the Five Dynasties’ rescinding the title for the time being, but you can let the wind go.

Use the Five Dynasties to scare them and make them willing to enter Beijing.

"I'll leave this to you!" After a look at Wang Xijue, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Do it well, don't let me down."

Wang Xijue quickly knelt down and said, "I will accept the order, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

The system of elimination must be implemented, but now is not the time. You have to eat one bite at a time and take the road step by step. It is unrealistic and impossible to do it. If you really do that, there will be chaos.

Speaking of eliminating titles, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of the title system of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty only had three titles: Duke, Hou, Bo, and Zhu Yijun's opinion was not possible. This would cause a gap in the titles of the Ming Dynasty. There would be no titles at the bottom. What should you do if the officers at the bottom? You need a title at the bottom!

The current system of the Ming Dynasty is to give hereditary official positions, such as hereditary commander, hereditary thousand households, etc.

In Zhu Yijun's opinion, it is better to give these hereditary short titles than to give these hereditary official positions.

Hereditary official positions have real power, and the rapid deterioration of the ward system is definitely closely related to this system. In addition, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty did not grant titles, which led to many civil servants becoming gentry from all over the country.

Not only did it cause a separation between civil servants and nobles, but many civil servants also lacked their pursuit. Anyway, I have done it all in my life.

If there are civil servants who have been awarded titles, they will think about earning a title for their descendants. Without civil servants, they will also think about earning a family business for their descendants, but the family business will be concentrated on land and money.

"It is urgent to restore the title system!" Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of the Northwest again.

If the Northwest wins this time, I can choose to give some titles and adopt the method of giving up from generation to generation. I can do it if I have the power and grace. If the Northwest wins, I still don’t know how many hereditary official positions I will give.

When Zhu Yijun came to his senses, he found that Wang Xijue was still here. He was about to wave his hand to let him retreat when a noisy sound suddenly came from outside.

Zhu Yijun frowned. This is the Forbidden City, but the Wenhua Palace. Who dares to make a noise here?

Before Zhu Yijun asked, Zhang He ran in from outside: "Emperor, several cabinet ministers are looking for a meeting!"

Several cabinet ministers asked for a visit? Not one of them said so? Is there something big happening? Zhu Yijun said without thinking, and said directly: "Summon!"

It didn't take long, and under the leadership of Shen Shixing, the four of them walked in from outside together.

After entering the hall, under the leadership of Shen Shixing, the four people respectfully knelt on the ground. Shen Shixing raised a memorial over his head with both hands: "Your Majesty, a great victory in the northwest, Qi Shaobao fought against Huang Taiji, and killed 100,000 in formation!"

"Huang Taiji is only free, and the Ming Dynasty has occupied Guihua City."

"I am here to congratulate Your Majesty. My Ming Dynasty won, Your Majesty, I won, Long live my Emperor!"

Win?

Zhu Yijun was ecstatic and walked directly to Shen Shixing to pick up the memorial, laughing and said, "I won the Ming Dynasty!"

Following Zhu Yijun's words, all the fake palace maids in the hall knelt down and said loudly: "Long live my emperor!"

The shouting was quickly heard, and a louder shouting sounded outside, and the sound of long live echoed throughout the Forbidden City.

News of the Ming Dynasty winning in the northwest spread throughout Beijing like a whirlwind. Qi Shaobao killed 100,000 yuan, and the Ming Dynasty occupied Guihua City. For a moment, firecrackers sounded everywhere in the capital, and the entire capital was in celebration.

Scholars even ran around and told each other that the major restaurants and brothels in the capital were also full.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were deeply ashamed of the Tumu Fort Incident. In addition, they were beaten to the capital during the commendation period. The Ming Dynasty suffered from border troubles for many years. This time, they won, and killed 100,000 in battle, occupying the Guihua City of Oirat.

How can we not be happy and how can we not be celebrating? For a moment, the entire capital was in a celebratory atmosphere.

Three days after the emperor ordered the capital to exempt the curfew from the curfew, this festive atmosphere was completely pushed to a climax, and the entire capital completely turned into a city that never sleeps. The celebration of the whole night began, and Zhu Yijun's prestige rose unprecedentedly.

In the palace, the joyful atmosphere was even more intense. Zhu Yijun had to laugh so hard that he couldn't close his mouth these days.
