In February of the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen respected Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Emperor Yiwen, as Emperor Xiaokang, and the temple name was Xingzong. Respect the crown princess Chang as the queen of filial piety, and respect the mother concubine as the queen mother.

The crown princess Ma was appointed as the queen, and the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Wenkui was the crown prince. And crowned the emperor's younger brother Zhu Yunyan as the king of Wu, Zhu Yunxi as the king of Heng, and Zhu Yunxi as the king of Xu, announcing to the world.

In February of the same year, Emperor Jianwen adopted the proposal of the scholar Fang Xiaoru, changed the official system, promoted the six Shangshu to the first grade, and set up the left and right servants, ranking above the waiters. The Imperial Court was changed to the Imperial History Office, and the Imperial Envoy was the Imperial Historian.

The 12 roads are the left and right courtyards, the left is the relics, and the right is the filling. Change the political envoy to the temple, Dali Temple to the division.

The Zhan Mansion added the Zide Academy, and the Hanlin Academy was re-established to undertake the decree for the emperor, and the bachelor's degree was changed to a doctor of literature. Set up two museums of Wenhan and literature and history, Wenhan is to read and lecture, and literature and history is to be revised, edited and reviewed.

The palace and the pavilion scholars and go to the word "big", each with a bachelor. Change the body hall to the heart hall, and add a bachelor of the heart hall. The rest of the internal and external, large and small divisions, grades and ranks, are all imitated by the "Zhou Li" system.

Fang Xiaoru, who was obsessed with retro, succeeded, and the government and the opposition all talked about it as an unurgent matter, and some people said that Fang Xiaoru misled the country.

The back garden of King Ning's mansion.

The green potted plants that fill the house and the vibrant interior dressed in winter are all cultivated by the heat provided by the hot springs, and the twelve palace people who are good at serving flowers and plants were all recommended by the king of Zhou four years ago.

Zhu Quan, who was sitting on the ground, said with a smile: "The first emperor's year name is Hongwu, and Zhu Yunwen has to be called Jianwen." There are some meanings of the five elements of restraint, and sure enough, after ascending the throne, he used a lot of weight to lift the weight of the ministers, and it was untimely to respect the ancient Zhou Li. So why do you need to cut the feudal domain? Sealing the princes to build the same surname is not exactly the policy of the Zhou Dynasty. The fourth brother is the Duke of Zhou of the Ming Dynasty, and he should go to the capital to assist him. ”

Mu Ningxue, who was familiar with history books, stared at her husband, knowing that she was about to hear novel ideas again, and couldn't help but concentrate. Zhang looked at Ning Xue and was a little distracted, and couldn't think of why she, who was famous in the capital, would fall in love with Xu Hao, who was generally literary and talented?

Xu Hao put down the teacup and said: "The greatest significance of the Zhou rite is to change the inheritance system of brother to brother since Yin Shang to the inheritance system of the eldest son, and the sub-feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty has been in turmoil for nearly a thousand years in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. How many people died during that period? This is the true intention of Fang Xiaoru, which is to remind the world's scholars through Zhou etiquette that the emperor's throne is in line with the sage's advocacy and inheritance of the way of heaven. After the division of the kings, it is likely to cause severe consequences. ”

Zhu Quan glanced at Mu Ningxue, who was smiling, frowned and said: "As you say, it seems that Fang Xiaoru is not just a sour Confucian, the sons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are contending. Bo Yazi period. It's actually fascinating to think about. ”

In this regard, Xu Hao and Zhu Quan can be called together, and neither of them is a pure Confucian protégé.

Xu Hao sighed: "Only the special period of the Warring States period can give birth to the rapid development of military politics, culture and philosophy, etc., the Han civilization is from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and since Confucianism has dominated the world, everyone knows that everything is inferior, only reading is high, and reading is not wrong, but it is not right to blindly advocate the learning of Confucius and Mencius and exclude other doctrines." As a result, after 2,000 years, only Confucianism, the core values of the Han people, has stagnated in place or even retreated. In the future, it will be the biggest obstacle to the country's development. ”

Mu Ningxue kept it in her heart word for word, lowered her head and thought deeply, Zhang felt very surprised, she had read a lot since she was a child, but she actually listened to a passage from Xu Hao, who was a suitable talent, but did not understand it.

Zhu Quante heard it speciously, and said in surprise: "Then Xiao Wang will listen to your high opinion." ”

Mu Ningxue shook her head slightly, knowing that her husband would never say what he wanted to say to others, and there were some things that he couldn't do.

Sure enough, Xu Hao shook his head and said: "I'm just complaining, I can't make any sense in this regard, but I don't think the imperial examination should only rely on the eight shares of scholars, and should recruit talents from all walks of life. ”

Zhu Quan said softly: "It makes sense, but unfortunately there is no possibility of success." The court is controlled by a group of civil servants, and if you want to lift up the toiling masses, it is tantamount to asking for your own death. ”

Xu Hao got up and said: "It doesn't matter, sooner or later, one day I can't help but read and not reflect on the past, it's just that the price is too painful, there is a saying that can only be reborn." ”

Zhu Quan frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" The king did not understand. ”

Xu Hao smiled and said unceremoniously: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which dynasty has escaped the fate of destruction?" The prince doesn't really think that my Ming will last forever, right? ”

Zhu Quan hurriedly asked: "Then according to Mr. 's policy, how should I govern the world?" ”

Mu Ningxue immediately got up and apologized to the confused Zhang. At this moment, Xu Hao said: "Don't ask me about this, in fact, you have to ask yourself, is it for the public or for the private occasion?" ”

"This king doesn't understand what you mean." Zhu Quan's face sank.

Xu Hao sneered: "Ten days ago, Yuan Meng Erlebak Khan killed Taiwei Tehaohai, and set up his son Batura as prime minister, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Oirats, Balatu and Ugel then took advantage of the dark night to kill Erlebok Khan together, a fire and fighting, the death of more than 20,000 people, Balatu and Uger led 40,000 Oirats to coerce the Yuan prince and the royal family to defect eastward, and they are about to pass near Daning, what do you think, prince?" ”

Zhu Quan said with a blank face: "It's best for these remnants of Yuanmeng to kill each other, what's the use of you telling this to this king?" Do you want me to lead my troops to rob and kill halfway? Without the military order of the imperial court, how can this king move troops without authorization. ”

Xu Hao shook his head in disappointment and said: "This is the difference between public heart and selfish heart, take care of the prince, Xu has taken his leave." ”

Seeing Xu Hao and his wife striding away, Zhu Quan said disdainfully: "Want to provoke this king? After a bloody battle, how can 40,000 Mongols be easy to provoke? Victory is also a tragic victory, defeat is a big thing, how can this king lose big because of a small loss? Let the fourth brother reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

For the first time in her life, Zhang frowned at her husband, after all, her husband was responsible for guarding the border gates, so how could he turn a blind eye to the great enemy of defense? It seems that Xu Gongzi is right, her husband's selfishness is actually greater than the public heart of the country.

In just one night, the Mongolian tribes living around Daning Mansion have lost nearly four or five thousand people, and they all go to King Qin, even if the Golden Family is imposing, they still have unparalleled noble bloodline and prestige in this Mongolian steppe.

Xu Hao was not affected by King Ning, and speculated that although Uger had a strong army, he did not dare to offend the anger of the people in the face of many tribes that came in a steady stream, and probably after a fight, he had no choice but to appoint the crown prince Timur as the new Great Khan, so as to calm the anger of the people and win a chance to breathe.

At this time, if King Ning took advantage of the chaos to raise his arms and shout, command the Han and Mongolian coalition forces to defeat the Oirath clan, and control the Golden Family in his hands, how good would it be? The people of the Mongolian steppe were panicked, and the strength and prestige of the Ming Dynasty were enough to command the pass of Duoyan Sanwei, which was probably the most successful time, and the worst was also a few major wars, weakening the living force of the Mongols.

Xu Hao can only sigh that he will not be with me anymore, King Ning wants to preserve his strength, King Yan is too busy to take care of himself, and the court whip is out of reach and has no interest in sending troops to fight.

I'm afraid that the reason why Duoyan Sanwei is willing to take refuge in Zhu Di is precisely because he is worried that the Son of Heaven will lead the troops of the princes to invade, and after the battle of Jingjing is over, Arutai can probably stand out, right? Mongolia will also be divided into three.

At this moment, Xu Hao still has a piece of information in his hand, which is from the merchants of Baihuatong Guò, last year Timur in Central Asia captured Delhi, the capital of Tianzhu State, and slaughtered 100,000 prisoners.

It is also interesting to say, Hongwu 20 years of the Ming Dynasty defeated the prestige of the Yuan and Mongolia spread throughout the Western Regions and even Central Asia, when the relatively weak Timur began to send envoys to pay tribute, after Hongwu 29 years of strength, Timur deserved to claim to be the descendant of Genghis Khan, detained the envoys of the Ming and Ottomans and the Golden Horde, including the three major powers in the world, and declared war on all the surrounding countries at the same time.

Xu Hao didn't care about the life and death of the world in Central Asia and even the Middle East, although Timur was quite terrible, the so-called ministers were actually trying to get detailed information about the Ming Dynasty through the constant tribute, and it seemed that he was preparing to mobilize 1.3 million troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty, and this guy should die of illness on the way.

Xu Hao was concerned about the Silk Road, a significant feature of Central Asian countries is that they attached importance to commerce, and the more countries Timur conquered, the more unimpeded the trade routes within his territory would be.

Due to the scarcity of supplies, the Mongols also welcomed the arrival of merchants, and now was a good time for the Mongol tribes to ostensibly submit to the Ming Dynasty, and the capital of the Timurid Khanate was Samarkand, where countless scholars and craftsmen who had been plundered were gathered.

"Yuan Shi goes back all over the world."

Xu Hao smiled, the Timurid Khanate was one of the important channels for the Ming Dynasty to obtain excellent war horses, and the pure white Dawan horse he rode when he was married came from this, and sometimes the tribute method of losing money was not useless.

Comrade Lao Zhu was still quite shrewd, and generously gifted the Hui envoy sent by Timur, and for the first time came to pay tribute to 15 horses and two camels, in exchange for a number of platinum 18 ingots of silk, and as a result, people were stupid and quick to come to the Ming signboard, attracting a large number of returning merchants, and the official record was that more than 3,000 good horses were purchased in ten years, and the private trade must be far more than that.

In addition, Central Asia is also rich in gems and beasts, gems are liked by the rich, and the beasts still have an old lion in the capital, at that time also caused the courtiers to criticize, "the hideous beast should not play with the charge", anyway, the Ming Dynasty emperors treasured lions are almost all from the tribute of the Timurid country.

In addition to war horses, gems, beasts and other goods are luxuries, dispensable for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's porcelain, silk, tea, etc., are the necessities of Central Asian countries, the Silk Road is divided into land and sea routes, whether the Ming want to or not, there are countless merchants who will follow one after another in order to make money.

In addition to the Green Sect, Xu Hao is welcoming to foreign Yiqiē. (To be continued......)
