Chapter 378: A Blockbuster Heavenly Official
After a period of recovery, Zhu Yuanzhang has recovered a lot, and Zhu Di doesn't have to guard it all the time, but he has to go to the palace every day to say hello.
This is not Zhu Di's unique treatment, the grandson Zhu Yunwen also enters the palace every day, it seems that the two of them are neck and neck, no matter how good they are, but people with a discerning eye have noticed that Zhu Di's time in the palace is obviously longer than Zhu Yunwen.
Lao Zhu deliberately clicked to let Zhu Di quickly adapt to the change of identity and learn to look at the problem from the overall situation.
In the past, Zhu Di's martial arts and martial arts were all right, at least the people's livelihood in Beiping made the fastest progress, and the financial contribution was obvious to all, and he also played very well on several expeditions outside the Saiwai.
But after all, Zhu Di's vision is limited to Beiping, and he cares about Daning and Liaodong at most.
Even the north didn't take care of it, let alone the entire Ming Dynasty.
In this land that stretches thousands of miles, the biggest problem is complexity!
Taking the most basic land as an example, Beiping, especially Daning, is dominated by veteran-led military tuns and merchant-led merchants.
When it comes to the Yellow River Valley, it is dominated by small farmers, even if there are tenants, but the land rent is relatively small, generally around 30%, of course, the production of these places is also small, coupled with the continuous floods and droughts, the life of the common people is not easy.
Continuing to the south, you will clearly feel that the land rent is constantly increasing, and when it comes to Suzhou and other places with the most dense population, the land rent is actually more than 50%, and some have reached an appalling 70%!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to maintain the basic market of Juntian, in the past 30 years, the drawbacks of land annexation have been fully exposed.
No big empire will collapse suddenly, too many fatal problems are the result of a long period of accumulation, ten years, twenty years...... One hundred years!
Interestingly, once everyone realizes and knows that they have to change, it is often too late, and it is difficult to return, and the changes of the past generations have rarely succeeded...... So like Uncle Chuan, he keeps going crazy every day, scolding this and that, without stopping at all, it should be that the empire has entered menopause, and in a few days, it will completely enter the old age, and the days will be weak, and there will be no way back...... At that time, maybe he stopped, of course, provided that Uncle Chuan could keep doing it......
In addition to caring about his father's body these days, Zhu Di is constantly checking all kinds of information, from the household department, the military department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of officials.
Obviously, it is imperative to change the law!
The sooner you do it, the less resistance there will be and the better the results!
If it drags on, for another one or two decades, the government and the opposition will become more and more intertwined, and I am afraid that they will not even have the courage to change the law.
Zhu Di's self-confidence is increasing day by day, and it is obvious that he has awakened the instinct of the emperor.
In any case, it is up to me to decide! No matter how much it costs, I will not hesitate to do it!
At this juncture, Ru Yu entered Beijing, and Zhu Di finally had a helper and could let go of it.
And Zhu Yuanzhang has also recovered a lot and can listen to politics in the court.
Zhu Di was arranged in the west, with honors and nobles behind him, Zhu Yunwen stood in the east, and next to him was the new official Shangshu Ruyu!
"Your Majesty! The minister heard that a divine beast was sent from Yunnan, saying that it was a unicorn descending into the world, and the minister implored His Majesty to send a minister to verify the authenticity, and then announced it to the world to reassure people's hearts! ”
It was Ren Hengtai who spoke as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the birth of the unicorn was the business of the Ministry of Rites, not long ago, there was a joke, and now it is coming again. Obviously, Ren Hengtai doesn't think it's a Kirin.
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed his face and looked at the ministers on both sides, and then he set his eyes on Ru Yu.
"Officials! How do you think this matter should be handled? Is this unicorn real or fake? ”
Ru Yu is not very old, a white-faced scholar, with a thin body, a black beard, and looks plain, but this person is destined to be a blockbuster today!
He lowered his head and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter whether the Qilin is true or not, the imperial court should not care about this!" ”
This is interesting enough, it is equivalent to saying that the big guy is not doing his job!
"Ru Shangshu!" Ren Hengtai said: "The unicorn benevolent beast does not appear in a prosperous world!" The unicorn was born with the saint, I am the son of tomorrow, for 30 years, I have worked hard, eaten and clothed, for the sake of the world, and now the unicorn has come to the world, and it is also the induction of God. It's just that you can't confirm the authenticity, how can you say you shouldn't care? ”
Ru Yu chuckled, "Ren Shangshu, your argument really makes me not know how to answer, should you think about it, what do you want to say!" ”
A dignified etiquette department is still a scholar, and you still have to organize language, you are too much of a bully!
Ren Hengtai's eyes widened angrily, and he was about to refute it. At this time, Zhu Di suddenly spoke, "Ru Shangshu, if you have something to say, just say it, why bother to start and close!" ”
Ru Yu smiled and nodded, "His Royal Highness King Yan, I just can't figure it out." How did this prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty come about, just now Ren Shangshu said, it is His Majesty's clothes and food, and he has made great efforts in exchange, the people live and work in peace, and the country and the people are safe. If this is true, then it is naturally a peaceful and prosperous world, what do you want the unicorn to do? ”
Ru Yu paused again, and then bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, Rong Chen said something excessive, the previous dynasty was cruel and unkind, the people were displaced, and the people's grievances were boiling. ”
"Ru Yu!"
Chen Di, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly stood up and scolded angrily: "What you say is simply rebellious!" The unicorn beast, the previous dynasty was brutal, and the heavens hated it, how could it descend a divine beast? ”
Chen Di thought that he was concentrating, but how did he know that Ru Yu was smiling even happier.
"According to Lord Chen's meaning, is it a prosperous age, just see if the unicorn appears or not?" Ru Yu said: "Although I don't read much, I also know that whether it is the rule of Wenjing or the rule of Zhenguan, there is no prosperous era that relies on the unicorn to prove!" On the contrary, there are many dumb kings, relying on divine objects descended from the sky, auspicious and prosperous, boasting, such as Song Zhenzong and the like, they will only laugh and be generous! ”
"Although the theory of the unicorn has existed in ancient times, the master also said that respect ghosts and gods and stay away. Above the court, all eyes are on it, how important! My generation of ministers does not think about relieving the worries of the monarch and benefiting the people. But talking about unicorns here, isn't this not asking the common people to ask ghosts and gods? If you eat Junlu, you should know what to do and what not to do! ”
"Your Majesty! Since the ministers have taken over the ministry, they must refresh the rule of officials, strictly restrain the officials, and all those who rely on auspiciousness to please the monarch's father will be severely punished and will not be loaned, so as to set an example! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, listening to Ru Yu talking eloquently, smiling slightly, worthy of being the fourth person, this temper is really similar!
It's just that most of the unicorns in Yunnan were made by Liu Chun, you Ru Yu are murderous, do you want to do something to that kid? Lao Zhu really cares about Liu Chun, he even wants to see Liu Chun angry and corrupt.
"Ru Yu, what you said is true, and I think it makes sense. Could it be that I have worked hard for decades, and in the end, I am not as good as the beast that suddenly appeared, which is really ridiculous and generous! ”
Old Zhu paused, "You say, what should I do?" ”
"Your Majesty, Shao Bao Zhao Mian, a member of the first grade, sacrifice monsters, hope to be lucky, deserve to be demoted to three levels and retained, and fined for one year, ordered to reflect. Zhao Mian and below, officials in Yunnan will be fined for three years for everything that implicates Qilin. ”
Ru Yu paused, and then said: "There is a wrong, and there is a debtor." The minister heard that not long ago, there was a right capital imperial history Lian Zining, into the unicorn map, talking about the birth of the unicorn. It just so happened that this unicorn was hunted by King Yan again, and the unicorn diagram is very different from the real monster, which is the crime of bullying the king! ”
"Also, it is precisely because of Lian Zining in front that the officials in Yunnan will follow suit, and if the culprit is not punished, countless people will rush to follow suit. When the time comes, all kinds of strange things will be sent to the capital, which will cost the people and money, and will inevitably arouse public resentment. The minister implored that Lian Zining be arrested and taken to prison immediately and tortured about the case! ”
Having said that, Ru Yu finally showed a killing move.
Qilin to Qilin, of course, is a good move, but Ru Yu has another opinion, as a minister, he should preside over the right path, he is the person promoted by Zhu Di, but he is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, even if he wants to assist King Yan, he must take the right path.
Of course, there is a price to be paid for doing the right thing...... The price is that poor Liu Chun lost his money for three years, and Yicheng didn't have much money, and he was deducted, didn't he let him drink the northwest wind?
However, if it was compared to Lian Zining, Liu Chun would be much luckier, and the Jinyi Wei Ti rode out to find out Lian Zining, who was hiding at home to recuperate, and sent him directly to the Imperial Prison.
Tang Yun has been waiting for a long time!
"Hahaha, Master Lian, let the subordinate greet you well!" Tang Yun almost laughed out loud, when he was the imperial historian in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, Lian Zining was his top boss, and now his boss has become a prisoner, this brocade guard deserves it, just one word: value!
