Gao Pragmatic is a servant of Rong Zheng, the emperor said that he had something important to say to him, he naturally thought that he was going to talk about the Praetorian Guard, so he nodded and said: "The minister of the Praetorian Guard has planned to go to the court to explain the relevant affairs in the near future, but since the emperor has inquired, the minister thinks it is more convenient to say in detail, I don't know if the emperor has any questions?" ”

Who knew that Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "You are responsible for the affairs of the Praetorian Guard, I am very relieved, I want to say another thing - Zong Fan Yulu." ”

Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised, and the emperor's words were also quite interesting.

He is now a Rong Zheng Shilang, and his main responsibility is to manage the affairs related to the Beijing camp, and of course occasionally manage some other affairs within the military department handed over by Liang Menglong, but in the final analysis, his duties are limited to the military department, and must have nothing to do with the affairs of the clan - unless any clan rebels.

Zhu Yijun has been in power for three years, and gradually has the demeanor of dominating the world, and Gao Pragmatic is no longer the prince's companion or watching politics, and it stands to reason that Zhu Yijun should not look for him for things that have nothing to do with his authority.

And that's just the first point of "interesting", and the second point.

The second point is that Zhu Yijun said that he was very relieved about the Praetorian Guards - rest assured that it is not strange, strange things he expressed in this sentence.

Judging from the expression of his words, the reason for his reassurance is not that the affairs of the Praetorian Guard are simple and easy to handle, but that the people who handle them. From a semantic point of view, it is basically "although the matter is big, as long as you are in charge, then it will be fine." ”

Isn't this the typical "you do it, I'm relieved"?

Gao pragmatic immediately said: "The minister is panicked. ”

Well, the kind words still have to be said.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute." Then he stood up and walked towards the Imperial Case.

Gao pragmatically said: I'm afraid that there is a document to show me, but I don't know what it is?

Zhu Yijun flipped through the imperial case, and quickly took a few books, but looking at the color and system, it should be the kind that the celebrant archived. He has always been like an emperor in front of Gao Pragmatic, so he gently threw those books on the wooden table in Gao Pragmatic's hand, and said, "Oh, you take a look first." ”

Gao pragmatically replied: "Yes." ”

I opened the book on the top and kept the file, only to see that it was written on it, "Wuxu Edict: Jingjiang King Ren Changlu is a thousand stones, and this compromise is half a branch." First of all, Wang Yizu Shouqian and Qin Jin and other mansions were sealed on the same day, and all the systems, systems, official subordinates, etiquette, annual tribute, celebration and sacrifice were compared with the prince.

He also aided the imperial book of Emperor Wen, and gave 1,000 stones of rice to the original color Lumi. The Ministry of Rites reconsidered, saying: 15 years ago of Hongzhi, just like Wang Song, next year will change the county Wang Lu to the rice banknote half of the branch, to Jiajing 44 years to change the regulations of the sect, the county Wang Lu three points of true color and seven points of the banknote, are contained in the palm of the story. However, the king was the first official seal of the country, and he owned a country alone, so there should be a different discussion, and the book should be changed to the old and new regulations. ”

Gao Shishi's heart moved, and he said secretly: I remember that this is the old past, right?

Then I looked at the archive time, and sure enough, it was the fourth year of Wanli. There is also Zhu Yijun's Zhu Pi direct record below: "King Jingjiang is a remote domain, and it is suitable to enjoy good treatment, and it is given from the sixteenth year of Hongzhi." ”

This matter is actually relatively simple, to the effect that in the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, the imperial court issued the "Zong Fan Regulations", which adjusted the proportion of the county king (note: this is a historical fact). This adjustment is compared with the fifteenth year before Hongzhi, before which the county prince Yulu was a thousand stones stipulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, but "half of the rice banknotes are also supported".

What is "rice banknote in half and half"? It means that half of it is given to rice, and half is given to treasure money.

However, there is an important point here, that is, rice is the eternal hard currency of agricultural countries, and the Ming treasure banknote is ...... It has begun to depreciate since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, and it has long been worthless by the fifteenth year of Hongzhi.

In other words, at that time, this "rice banknote was half of the money" meant that the Jingjiang King's Yulu actually only had 500 stone rice and a bunch of Daming treasure banknotes that were not much stronger than waste paper.

As a result, in the 44th year of Jiajing, the situation worsened further. Because according to the "Regulations of the Sect and Domain" introduced that year, the king of Jingjiang, as the king of the county, could only take three cents of meters, and the remaining seven cents were all Ming treasure money.

This is very cheating, not only is there a lack of 200 stone meters, but also the Daming treasure banknote in the 44th year of Jiajing is more garbage than in the 15th year of Hongzhi, and it can already be directly compared with waste paper.

So King Jingjiang was not convinced, and Shangshu asked for "change", that is, change. He is not unreasonable, because the king of Jingjiang belonged to the early state of the country, although it was at the level of the county king at that time, but there were clear regulations that his "system, system, official subordinates, etiquette, annual tribute, celebration and sacrifice, etc., all know how to compare with the prince." ”

Therefore, King Jingjiang thinks that although he is the king of the county, he should obviously be the same as the prince - I am the same as the prince except for the name, including the same grade of tribute, why is Yulu different?

This piece of music is related to the Ministry of Rites, so it was sent to the Ministry of Rites for discussion. As a result, the Ministry of Rites naturally chose and dilute the mud, and the ministry overlay the gist of "You are indeed different from the general county king, but after all, the name is still the county king, so let's compromise, the prince of your Yulu ratio will come to four or six: four decimeters, six cents banknotes." ”

However, although the Ministry of Rites and the mud, Zhu Yijun - in fact, strictly speaking, it should actually be decided by Gao Gong at that time - did not make mud. So the decree came down: according to the fifteenth and a half years of Hongzhi.

In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, that is to say, it is open in half. King Jingjiang can breathe a sigh of relief.

Gao Pragmatic only knew about this matter back then, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because at that time, it was nothing more than a trivial matter of two hundred stone meters, and this little money was hardly money in Gao Pragmatic's eyes.

However, looking back now, Gao Gong's decision at that time may have been based on two considerations: first, to help the emperor establish a benevolent image, which does not need to explain the reason;

Second, under his reforms, the income of the imperial court is increasing year by year, and he may not regard these two hundred stone meters as a big deal. What's more, according to the law of the Ministry of Rites, it is equivalent to the imperial court calculating a mere 100 stones, which is too embarrassing! You must know that the situation of King Jingjiang itself is a special case, and other clans cannot cite the example of King Jingjiang to talk about things.

However, Gao Pragmatic also knows that now that Zhu Yijun has found out such an early archive to show himself, it is obviously not to overturn the case for the 100 or 200 stones, but it should have something to do with the later recitals.

So he didn't say anything more, but continued to look through the next archive.

This archive recorded: "Like Du gave Lin Jingyang a word in the matter: The book "Sect and Domain Regulations" is set from Shizong, and the profits and losses are not without similarities and differences. There are those who have not discussed the past and the present, such as the succession of the eldest son's wife and the quasi-seal of the general's biological mother. The years of his expiration are increasing, and the number of famous grains and belts is increasing. Entering the prince's dignity as an auxiliary country, and crossing the border and parting with the prohibition of the third class, such as this, and so on. Recently, it has been reported that the indiscriminate birth is a positive report, and the top of the sect is supplemented by another life, and the unauthorized marriage is called a ceremony, the source is not clear, and the name is indiscriminate. The ministry can be re-reported. ”

Gao Shishi's heart moved, and he roughly guessed what Zhu Yijun was going to say.

The specific matters mentioned in this archive do not need to be detailed (mainly I am afraid that you will talk too much about me), but the connotation is simple: the imperial court began to notice a large increase in the population of the clan, so some people began to demand strict investigation.

What to look for? Check whether some low-level sects that should not have been canonized have been indiscriminately sealed.

What was the result of this? Yes, "the ministry can be recalled." ”

That is, the Ministry of Rites thought that it made sense, so it made sense to the emperor, and the emperor also agreed.

This means that the emperor also feels that the population of the clan is growing too fast and too fast, and it is completely wrong, and it will not work if he does not investigate.

Gao pragmatic looked at it, this song is from the fifth year of Wanli. He remained silent and continued to open the third archive.

This archive is relatively long, and it is written: "Shen Wang Tianxuan asked for the seal of his fifth son, Huokai, and he was not allowed." Still in order.

First of all, Gu Jiusi and other topics were given to the left of the Department of Rites: Ministry Discussion, Chazong Domain Regulations, if the county king enters the prince, the prince of the county is not allowed to make up the attack. In the future, the hereditary prince of the next generation, and the second concubine shall be the same as the original in each lifetime, and the successive generations shall receive the official position of this class.

In addition, the title of the Ministry of Rites in the second year of Wanli is accurate: in the future, although the regulations of the royal palaces were before, they were from the younger brother and nephew and then from the younger brother and nephew to the prince, and then the concubine except for the one who has been sealed, and the son of the king on the day of his death will be awarded this official position, and it is not allowed to rely on the precedent in vain, and the two cases are indiscriminately invited, which is very clear.

Today, Tianxuan's father, King Xian, originally took King Shen Gong's nephew King Huai and then became the heir of King Gong from his cousin, King Gong, and King Lingchuan became the prince. Huo Kai is the fifth son of Tian Xuan, and the law is that the heir of this king is not hereditary to be a county lord. Then Huokai should not be crowned the king of Shen, so the beggar was awarded the title in the Jiajing period with his younger brother Tianzhuo. Zhenkang Wang Tian got the title of King of Anqing, and his son Huo Tan got the title of King of Baoding, and Huo X (here the handwriting is difficult to read) in the sixth year of Longqing was named the King of Dehua.

I don't know that the law is based on the law, and the person who is sealed in the year of Longqing is that after the precedent, it should be reformed by impersonation, and the law is close to the law, although the person who is sealed in the year of Jiajing is in front of the example, and the person who stops the reform after his death. Then it is obvious that he will not be able to recovet the county lord.

As for the king, he claims to be a descendant of his own branch, but the so-called pro-branch person refers to his brother and nephew. If King Yu Gong is the nephew of King Xian, he will be tested by his subordinates, and his nephew will be equal to his younger brother. It can succeed the one who enters the seal, and the hereditary descendants are enough, so can you ask for more? It is advisable to ask for a statement that only if the brother and nephew enter the seal before the regulations, the children and grandchildren will be allowed to seal as usual. In this case, although those who enter the seal later are relatives and slaves, they are not allowed to be sealed. ”

The original recital of this archive was written in June of the seventh year of Wanli, and it is said that Shen Wang Tianxuan asked for the title of his fifth son, Huo Kai. And the emperor's meaning is also very clear: no. Still in order.

The following records are all explained by the Ministry of Rites on the question of "why it is not allowed", which is too complicated, and involves a large number of clans that have never heard of it at all, so there is no need to go into details.

Gao Pragmatic didn't care about which prince's son took what position, or the court rejected his request to take the title, etc.

What he cared about was the movement behind the move.

The trend is actually very simple: the imperial court is strictly reviewing the issue of raiding the seal, but the reason given is still from the "legality of the raid".

Gao Pragmatic still didn't speak, and continued to flip through the next book.

"Like Zuo gave Shi Jichen to discuss the unfinished matters of the Zong Domain: check the canon, the prince of the county and the foreign Lu are all thick, and today Huang is multiplying, Guan Zhilu rice, and floating in the two taxes. From the general of Zhenguo to the lieutenant, as usual, it decreases, and listens to its mutual covetousness, and there is nothing forbidden, then the year is reduced and the rice is given, and it is also very desirable. ”

Well, this time I started to pay close attention to the distribution of Yulu.

Gao Pragmatic didn't look closely, put it aside, and opened the next book again.

"Check the ceremony, the county lord is honored and the guest is down, and the many people are eight hundred, and the small ones are also two hundred. Lieutenant Tianhuang is still using the exemption and the amount is reduced. How can you make up a long marriage and enjoy all the benefits? In addition to the prince and the prince and the guest of honor, the county lord of honor will be reduced by half or one-third, and the master will treat the guest of honor a little and exempt him from his errand. Although he is half-serving, he will be willing.

The second check of the ceremony, the guest of honor who is guilty of the army, must wait behind the monarch, send the husband to the clan, a ban on solidification, there are still a lot of loans, now the lord and the law does not work on the guest of honor, not peaceful. In the future, if a guest of honor commits a crime, he will be punished according to the discussion and punishment of two-thirds of Lumi to redeem his body, and wait for another discussion after the sovereign's death. He will not abolish the law, nor will he lose his family. Divisions under the chapter. ”

This is even more interesting, the imperial court has begun to track down the "guest of honor", that is, the level of the horse master. In other words, except for the prince and the prince of the county, the other clans began to enter the strict supervision and review of the imperial court, and basically all began to reduce the salary, and once they made mistakes and committed crimes, they had to pursue the original distribution of the money to "atone for their sins".

Of course, after all, the guest of honor is the master of the horse, and the court still gives the princess and the county lord a face, and the horse who commits a crime will generally wait for the princess and the county lord to formally discuss the crime and punishment.

But these are all details, and for Gao Pragmatic, he has enough to know. He could already determine what Zhu Yijun was going to say to him now.

The pressure on Zong Fan Yulu is getting bigger and bigger, so that Zhu Yijun can't bear it anymore.

Even the imperial court's revenue has been increasing because of the reform of the Shixue school, but since the imperial court's plan of "Western Huaidong System" has now entered the final stage, the imperial court wants to tilt its financial resources towards armaments in order to ensure that the upcoming "Chahar War" can be won, so Zhu Yijun should now start to consider cutting this expenditure.

But after all, the clan is a clan, and they are all the bloodlines of Taizu, and the emperor is theoretically only the heir of one of them, so I am afraid that it is difficult for him to say that it will be reduced or exempted.

The relatives of the family, which is also very advocated and valued by Confucius, the emperor cannot ignore this, otherwise he will not be said to be mean and unkind when the time comes?

But the current situation in the country is like this, and it is inevitable that it will not work, so he will come to Gao Pragmatic to discuss countermeasures.

Gao Pragmatic already knew it in his heart at this moment, put down the paperwork in his hand, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, how much does the clan account for the imperial court?" ”
