Chapter 643: A Son of Heaven and a Courtier

After the edict on the throne has been read, the ministers in the Fengtian Palace are all a little puzzled, usually the new emperor will give amnesty to the world, but I don't seem to have heard this content just now.

Sure enough, Pang Tianshou changed another holy decree and continued to read: "The edict said." When I first came to the throne, the whole world celebrated ......"

The courtiers just thought that they were going to be amnesty, but Pang Gonggong said: "Give grace to the people, and exempt all household taxes of less than five cents of silver for two months." And, since I am in the future, the court and the central government should pay tribute and celebrate, and they must not pardon the world without permission, and this edict should be used as an example. Chin this. ”

The courtiers were busy and bowed down, "The emperor is wise!" "If you don't forgive the world, you can't avoid the taxes of the small people and what do you have to do with these big people, as long as you are happy, everyone will be happy.

Zhu Linmiao took the opportunity of the enthronement ceremony to quietly erase the ancient bad habit of "amnesty to the world".

Ancient emperors ascended the throne, mourned, changed the year name, and even gave birth to a prince, set up a queen, and had a birthday. In fact, they do this just to ask for good luck, to show that they are benevolent, and to win people's hearts.

However, as a result, a large number of criminals escaped punishment and returned to the people to do evil. The gainers of crime are at large, the sufferers are unjust, and the last victims are ordinary people.

Zhu Linmi's targeted reduction and exemption of the land tax for small households this time has a effect of winning the hearts of the people thousands of times stronger than the amnesty, but it will not cause harm to society.

In addition, he left a hand in his edict. Famine and natural disasters were not included in his prohibition of amnesty. This also leaves room for future administration, otherwise there will be a catastrophe, and hundreds of thousands of people who steal grain will be arrested, and amnesty will still be required in such a situation.

Immediately Pang Tianshou retreated, Yang Tinglin stepped out of class, stood in the middle of the main hall, respectfully received a holy decree from the eunuch on the side, turned around and recited loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says."

"Zhu Jizuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, does not slack off in his duties, is honest and honest, and confers a doctor's honor from the first product."

When the ministers heard this, they all immediately cheered up - this is the main thing!

You must know that once the son of heaven and a courtier, now that the Han Xing Dynasty has changed, who is beautiful and who is gloomy depends on how it is arranged in this holy decree. Just like this Zhu Jizuo just now, it seems that he has been promoted to Doctor Ronglu, but in fact it is an idle position, and it is not the same as the previous Ministry of Rites Shangshu, which held real power, which means that there is no place for him in the new dynasty.

Look at the person who read the will, it is the Yang Gebu who first advocated the succession of the auxiliary king. He can be promoted and demoted in public in the Fengtian Palace, how majestic he is! It can be seen that it will inevitably be in a high position in the future.

In the subsequent decree, 11 people who had jumped up and down in the recent "land reform" and the robbery of the Son of Heaven were "promoted" to idle posts. As for Huang Jingfang and others, who were caught with tangible evidence, they have been imprisoned by the Criminal Department, but they are not among them.

After reading the officials to be "dealt with", Yang Tinglin continued: "Song Yingxing, the former waiter of the Ministry of Industry, performed his duties conscientiously and made many meritorious deeds, so he was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"The original Ministry of Labor Lang is wise and diligent...... Promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Engineering.

"Xu Erlu, the right attendant of the original Ministry of Rites...... Promoted to the Ministry of Rites.

"Former Xuanbu Langzhong Hongsi...... Promoted to the left waiter of the Propaganda Department.

Tian Zhuangfei, the former director of the Propaganda Department...... Promoted to Propaganda Department Langzhong.

"The former official Langzhong Zeng Jian...... Promoted to the right attendant of the Criminal Department.

Zhang Canghai, a former member of the household department...... Promoted to the right squire of the household department.

"Yao Qisheng, the former director of the Ministry of Engineering......"

As Yang Tinglin finished reading the word "Qin this", the court team in the early Han Dynasty was basically settled. Of course, in order to maintain the stability of the court situation, Zhu Linwei only moved more than 30 people, and a larger personnel adjustment had to be done slowly.

However, this time, he put almost all of the core positions in the DPRK and China on the people he used to rest assured, and in addition, he also appointed a large number of talents who were qualified to learn. Especially in the Ministry of Industry, there is no official who does not know how to learn above the sixth grade.

In addition to the courtiers of the outer court, Zhu Linmiao also made great adjustments to the inner court, such as the palm seal eunuch and the Bingbi eunuch were replaced by Ma Wensheng and Feng Kang. However, the inner court is basically a private matter of the Son of Heaven, and there is no need to declare the decree in the Fengtian Temple.

After the personnel work was arranged, Zhu Linmiao personally got up and said loudly: "Zeng Jian, the newly promoted squire of the Criminal Department, listens to the order. ”

Zeng Jian hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister is here." ”

"Presided over by you, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Officials, and the Seven Departments will co-organize to thoroughly investigate the major case of Emperor Taizheng being looted! This is a crime of rebellion, and no one should be allowed to slip through the net! ”

Zeng Jian and the officials in charge of several departments who were mentioned immediately bowed down together and responded: "Minister, obey the order!" ”

Strictly punishing the officials involved in the kidnapping of Zhu Linyuan is an inevitable move to do justice and justice, even if no one can say half a word, on the contrary, all the courtiers have to do their best to "assist in the investigation". And Zhu Linmi's thorough investigation of this matter with such fanfare also has his own plan - this is a serious case of rebellion, and the whole country is shaken, and everyone involved in the case must be decided. In this way, when the investigation of the case is completed, the DPRK and China will inevitably empty a large number of real vacancies.

So he specially let his descendant Zeng Jian handle the case, which was the "big stick" he raised high to the courtiers. And the vacant position of the officials involved in the case is his "carrot". Under the combined effect of carrots and sticks, the resistance he encountered in rectifying the rule of officials, implementing Gezhixue, and even reforming the tax system will be greatly reduced, and the long-planned "Daming Development Outline" will also begin to enter the fast lane.

After the enthronement ceremony, the courtiers gathered around the newly promoted core ministers and went out of the noon gate, and the words of congratulations and praise were endless.

Zhu Linmiao also habitually walked in the direction of the palace gate, and Ma Wensheng hurriedly chased after him, and carefully reminded: "Emperor, are you going out of the palace?" ”

Zhu Linmiao was stunned for a moment, then patted his forehead, and said with a smile in his heart, but he really forgot that from today on, this Forbidden City is his home.

Due to the previous order to save repair silver, the Qianqing Palace has not been repaired until now, and only the Yangxin Palace on the south side of the West Sixth Palace can be inhabited.

When Zhu Linmiao walked into the Yuehua Gate surrounded by palace people and guards, and looked up at the magnificent and majestic palace of the Heart Nourishing Palace, the excitement brought by the arrival of the throne couldn't help but fade away, but it was replaced by a weight of 10,000 catties in his heart - that was the weight of the entire Daming Dynasty!

It has been a year and a half since he came to this world, during which time he relied on advanced weapons and tactics to recapture half of the Ming Dynasty south of the Yangtze River from Jianyu, but he knows very well that the current Ming Dynasty has actually been in trouble for a long time and has accumulated a lot of disadvantages.

From the erodent rule of officials to the absurd tax system, from the grossly unbalanced distribution of arable land to the near-withering industry and commerce, and the loss of confidence of the common people in the imperial court, the shrinking of the hundreds of years of shipping, etc., these problems have always eroded the body of the Ming Dynasty. Even in terms of official governance, taxation, etc., even Jianyu has done better than the current Ming Dynasty!
