Chapter 272: The Great Court Meeting
After Li Biao and Wang Yongji decided, the Jinyiwei and the Tax Department of the entire capital moved and rushed to the gardens and temples in the western suburbs, and sealed the first batch of twenty gardens and temples.
The crackdown in the western suburbs has officially begun, but not many people are paying attention to it.
The things that could have caused a sensation were not caused at this time, which was also quite magical. However, now everyone's eyes are all on the upcoming dynasty meeting of the court, so it is understandable.
Since Zhu Yijun announced the event of the Grand Court, the court's eyes have been focused on this matter.
As Xu De returned to the palace, Qi Jiguang returned to the capital, and Zhang Weixian returned to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, everyone felt the solemn atmosphere. Although there was no martial law in the capital, people from all the yamen on the street felt like they were waiting for the battle.
The spies from the East Factory swayed on the street from time to time. Although they did nothing, they were scary enough.
The people in Shuntian Mansion also looked ready for the battle, which made the atmosphere in the capital tense.
Finally, the day of the dynasty meeting was held, and all the civil and military officials who were qualified to meet were dressed neatly and prepared to go to court. On the side of the nobles, even the British Duke who had not shown up for a long time had been dressed neatly and went to court.
As a decisive master of the nobles, British Duke Zhang Rong has basically stopped participating in political affairs since Zhang Weixian was valued by the emperor and rarely appeared, but this time he also appeared.
Although this old Duke is quite old, he is still quite strong.
Originally, everyone thought that the British Duke's Mansion would decline since Zhang Rong. After all, Zhang Rong's eldest son was weak and had no children to this day. The second son was also an incompetent person. No one expected that his son was not good, but his grandson was deeply favored by the emperor.
The civil servants were naturally led by four Grand Secretarys, and Shen Shixing walked in front in a red python robe.
The civil and military ministers were divided into two sides, and Zhang Jing was the first to walk up the imperial stairs. The floating dust in his hand gently shook it. Zhang Jing shouted loudly: "The emperor is here!"
With this shout, Zhu Yijun walked up from behind.
Today, Zhu Yijun did not wear a regular suit, but deliberately wore a crown suit, with the Emperor's Sword pressing on his waist. His eyes swept across the kneeling minister, and Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon throne with a expressionless face.
"Long live my emperor!"
After the ministers bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, Zhu Yijun said loudly, "All the ministers are exempted from courtesy!" After all the civil servants stood up, Zhu Yijun continued to speak, "I am holding a grand court meeting today, and I believe my dear friends know what to do."
"Public opinion is boiling today, and the discussions on the doctrines in the court are extremely fierce."
"I am summoning my beloved ministers to come today and prepare to set a century-old national policy for the Ming Dynasty. Should I continue to act according to previous ideas, or should I praise the ancient theory of the great ministers of the cabinet, abolish the Confucians of Song and learn from the Confucians of Han."
"Or it is also to praise New Confucianism, please discuss it with all your dear friends."
As soon as Zhu Yijun finished speaking, someone stood up below, and it was Chen Gang, the imperial envoy. Since the Censorate established the Law and Discipline Department and the Corruption Department, the status of other imperial envoys in the Censorate has been in jeopardy.
Everyone can see clearly that the emperor needs important legal and legal departments and corruption departments this time, while other imperial envoys are basically idle and scattered.
Once the emperor issued an imperial edict to abolish the news and reports, the outcome of his people would be destined. Originally, the imperial envoy and the various subjects were basically desperate, but who would have thought that a dispute over thought broke out at this time?
After this incident broke out, these censors found their direction at once.
They knew this was their last chance. If they could give up a sense of presence in this incident, they might be reused by the emperor and their success will be just around the corner.
So during this ideological dispute, the people who danced the most were these censors.
After Chen Gang stood up, he said loudly: "I think the dispute over thoughts is a struggle for the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, so I must be cautious. Looking at the past and present, can there be any ideological changes?"
"Of course, the Han Dynasty emphasized Confucianism, so it became stronger than the Han Dynasty."
When Zhu Yijun heard Chen Gang's words, he felt relieved and thought, obviously this was a supporter of the Shen Shixing Chonggu School. This made Zhu Yijun feel much more relieved. If the opposition shot the first shot, it would be difficult to deal with later.
After looking at the cabinet grandsons standing in front, Zhu Yijun smiled self-deprecatingly.
I am really concerned, but I am not alone now. The four of them put forward the idea of the ancient school and the Han Confucianism. Now they are the ones who are most anxious.
Once the matter is passed, their benefits will naturally be self-evident, and it is absolutely no exaggeration to keep the name in history.
If things fail, these four people will probably be beaten home directly, which is something they cannot accept. Then at this time, the four of them who want to pass the matter the most are naturally the four of them.
Then it is natural that they cannot not make arrangements, and with their own arrangements, there is no big problem.
After Chen Gang stood up and expressed his excitement, several people stood up one after another, basically the same as Chen Gang, all supporting the reform and advocating the ancient school.
As time goes by, more and more people stand up and the level is getting higher and higher.
Although there are occasional noises, they are basically submerged in the wave of approval.
"I think that if we should stop and suffer from chaos, the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it is necessary to change." Shen Li, the Minister of Personnel, stood in the hall and said loudly.
Today, the Ministry of Personnel has not submitted a letter, and Shen Li has temporarily taken over it. He urgently needs credit for consolidating his position. Even if he cannot be promoted to the Ministry of Personnel, it would be good to be transferred to other departments of the six ministries to be promoted to the Secretariat.
At this time, Shen Li naturally would not go against Zhu Yijun.
"Abolishing the Confucian Confucians of Song and learning the Confucians of Han is the beginning of the prosperous Ming Dynasty. I ask Your Majesty to abolish the Confucians of Song and learning the Confucians of Han!" As he said that, Shen Li knelt directly on the ground and pestled with his head.
With Shen Li's guidance, all the other officials in the hall reacted.
A large area of kneeling down was so dark that they all started shouting loudly, and the momentum was shocking.
Zhu Yijun still didn't say anything, but turned to look at the nobles and several cabinet ministers who were still standing, and asked slowly: "Who else do you want to talk about?"
"The old minister has something to say!" At this time, British Duke Zhang Rong stood up.
He lifted up his clothes and knelt down like a golden mountain and a jade pillar. Zhang Rong said loudly: "The prosperous age is coming and there is hope for revival. This is the contribution of the diligent work of the late emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the contribution of the loyal ministers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty."
"This is the contribution of Your Majesty's wise and wise saints."
Everyone looked at the British Duke Zhang Rong for some unknown reason, and looked at the British Duke for some unknown reason. This was because the Duchy Lord had not come out for a long time. Is it just to flatter the emperor?
British Duke Zhang Rong ignored everyone and continued to say loudly: "Today, Your Majesty's ambition is hidden in his chest and abdomen. He should have a prosperous dynasty far beyond the ambitions of the Han and Tang Dynasties and have never been established yet."
"The thoughts of the Ming Dynasty today and the system of the Ming Dynasty today are no longer enough to be the tail of Your Majesty."
"I ask Your Majesty to change the course, correct the origin, open a new chapter forever, and create a powerful dynasty that has never been seen in the ages." Speaking of this, the British Duke Zhang Rong said loudly with his head on the ground: "For this, I am willing to be crushed to pieces and be your majesty's rank."
As the British Duke said this, more than a dozen nobles stood up and all knelt down.
"I am willing to be a staircase for your Majesty."
The Ming Dynasty nobles have not spoken for a long time, and this time they stand up, their momentum is really earth-shaking. In fact, although these nobles in the Ming Dynasty are weak, their power has changed with the rise of the military.
Before the shock of the nobles could pass, Qi Jiguang also stood up there.
Behind Qi Jiguang are generals of the Beijing camp and the imperial guards. If the nobles represent traditional military forces, then these people represent the real power faction of the current military.
These people hold military power and hold important positions, and are absolutely powerful in the military.
In addition to being a real power faction, they are also a hawk in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, they can see the benefits of reform. Unlocking the shackles on soldiers with one move is an opportunity to sweep away the haze.
When they worshipped ancient times and learned Han Confucianism, they did not think of Dong Zhongshu, but famous generals of the Han Dynasty.
General Wei Qing, champion Hou Huo Qubing, famous general Li Guang, none of them are famous figures. Once they admire the Han Confucian scholars, would they also have the opportunity to become famous generals like the Han Dynasty?
This is what these generals of the military want. Nowadays, no one can tell!
"I would like to be crushed to pieces and be your majesty's rank!"
As Qi Jiguang slowly knelt down, the person standing behind Qi Jiguang also knelt down, and the entire hall became quiet. The military made such a clear statement that the situation changed suddenly.
Obviously, the opposition knew that the situation was hopeless and the opposition was ineffective.
Shen Shixing and several other cabinet ministers saw this scene and sighed helplessly. Although they helped the emperor, they also knew that from this day on, the Ming Dynasty would enter a new era.
This new era may not be what they are willing to see, and the imperial power will once again reach its peak.
They also knew that this was irreversible. Isn’t the current emperor working hard to govern the country for this day? This is an irreversible trend. He mastered the Jinyiwei in the East Factory, held the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and also had strong support from the military and nobles.
Coupled with the reputation of the people and the hard-core supporters among the officials, the emperor has actually mastered the power of the court.
From then on, the emperor will completely grasp the power of the Ming Dynasty, and at least the center of the court has been held in the emperor's hands. From now on, the question of the Ming Dynasty is how to implement the emperor's will to the local area.
"Okay, since that's the case, I announce that from today on the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will change its course."
Zhu Yijun suddenly stood up and said loudly, and followed by the sound of long live like a tsunami below. From this moment on, Zhu Yijun finally became the real emperor of this country.
After the news of the dynasty meeting spread, the outside world was in a panic.
Although many people thought that this might be the case, at this time, they were at a loss. They said they were changing their course, but this happened too suddenly.
Zhu Yijun also knew that doing this was too sudden, but there was no way, and Zhu Yijun felt that time was tight.
After announcing the change of course, Zhu Yijun issued the first imperial edict to revise the Ming Dynasty Law. Leading by the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Zeng Shengwu, six ministries and the Dali Temple of the Censorate, were dispatched to formally revise the Ming Dynasty Law.
Apart from this imperial edict, Zhu Yijun did not issue any other imperial edict, and it seemed that things had just passed.
But everyone knows that this is just the first step, and the real policy is in the Ming Law. Once the Ming Law is revised, the new policy will be implemented through the Ming Law.
Things were settled, and the Ming Dynasty completely opened the fast lane of reform.
Taxation Division.
Wang Yongji looked at the documents in front of him and said with a dark face: "These people really don't want toast and eat the punishment."
After Wuqing Bo Mansion paid the land payment and a three-fold fine, the people who built gardens in the western suburbs also began to pay the money and fines one after another, and no one dared to postpone it.
Compared to these nobles, the temples pay the most happily.
July soon entered, and the heat of summer came completely. Although the door and windows in Zhu Yijun's hall were open, it still felt extremely stuffy.
In front of Zhu Yijun, there was a row of ministers standing. This was a small meeting.
On the left is headed by Zhang Guoyan, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, and Hai Rui, the censor of the Five City Capital, is also here, behind Hai Rui is Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang. On the other side, Lu Shenxing, the principal of the Civil Service School.
Behind Lu Shenxing, there is another person, Liao Bin, the director of Shuntian Prefecture, the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Liao Bin is a man in his thirties, with a thin figure and a mustache. Unlike many people from the Interior Affairs Office, he was not from the Interior Factory, but from the accountant of the Wuqing Bo Mansion.
Being able to be in charge of Shuntian Prefecture, the ability to be a steward of the Shuntian Prefecture of the Internal Affairs Office, shows his ability.
"I'm looking for you to come today. I have something to discuss with you." Zhu Yijun glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I have prepared a new plan, so you can listen."
Everyone's expressions became serious, only Hai Rui seemed a little excited.
Zhu Yijun didn't know whether it was the people from his medical school who had good medical skills or whether his current work made Hai Rui motivated. Hai Rui, who should have died in history, has become more and more energetic in the past two years.
The old man's energetic appearance made Zhu Yijun feel a little ashamed.
It may also be related to Hai Rui in the capital. You should know that Hai Rui's diet and health are responsible for their specialized people. Zhu Yijun has already given the gift to the private doctor as a special welfare to the minister.
Of course, you must be a great minister. You think anyone can enjoy the treatment of a private doctor in the Imperial Hospital.
Seeing that everyone looked at him, Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "My plan is to create a new Shuntian. I want to build Shuntian Mansion into a model for the entire Ming Dynasty."
