Zhu Yuanzhang has never felt that he is so powerful. Those people who shout loudly are the source of his strength. As a hero who conquers the world, no one will despise him for having too much support. As long as he can win more people's hearts,
He is willing to do anything.
After finishing my appearance, I just knelt down.
Now the time has finally come for us to take the throne as King Wu.
Today, Zhu Yuanzhang has finally completed all preparations... In terms of military strength, he has hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers and has just occupied Hangzhou, forcing Zhang Shicheng and Yuan Ting to break.
When it comes to food, grass and money, although the consumption after a great war was astonishing, with the power of equalizing the land exploding, a steady stream of food and materials from the people poured into the Zhu Jiajun, giving him unprecedented confidence.
The most amazing thing is that Zhu Jiajun has now completed his ideological construction.
A series of propositions centered around the equalization of land were established, and the entire set of doctrines established by Confucianism in the Han Dynasty has been completely shaken.
Get rid of the old and embrace the new, and reorganize the world.
Zhu Jiajun already has the ability to attract talents from all over the world. This is not obtained by relying on high-ranking officials, rich salaries, Yan Ruyu, and golden houses, but by being attracted by his ideals and voluntarily joining him.
Let me ask all the heroes in the world, who can do this?
Is it Tian Wan who hopes to put the Yuan Dynasty on his name? Or is it Liu Futong who is thinking about how to restore the Song Dynasty? Or is it the crumbling Yuan Dynasty?
Let me ask all the heroes in the world who is their opponent!
Just come over here!
There is no force that can stop Zhu Yuanzhang from ascending to the throne.
What needs to be decided most now is the civil and military officials, who will occupy what position. It is worth mentioning that the first person to receive the award was not any minister, but Zhu Biao, who was wearing crotchless pants.
"Sister, our Biao'er will be established as the crown prince of King Wu. We will choose a teacher for him later, teach him to read and enlighten him, and learn his skills well, so that he can inherit our legacy and become a qualified king!"
Ma's brows raised slightly, and he looked at Zhu Biao, who was still confused. A relieved smile appeared on his face, and then returned to normal. After all, it was a reasonable thing, so what was there to be happy about?
"Chongba, there are some things that I, a woman, shouldn't interfere with. But you must think clearly about Mr. Zhang's matters, and you can't arrange them casually."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn and put his hands together, showing that he was very uneasy.
After a long while, Lao Zhu said: "Sister, in fact, with Mr. Zhang's ability and character, the Prime Minister should be his, and Mr. Li should be his deputy... But after such a long time, we are afraid that Mr. Li will not be happy."
, it’s really a bit difficult to handle.”
Ma smiled faintly and said, "Chongba, I'm afraid you might be confused on this matter... Mr. Zhang should not be the prime minister no matter what."
Lao Zhu hesitated again and again, and then said: "We trust you sir. In the past, he was young and had not established his prestige. Now, he has written books and established his reputation. His reputation is increasing day by day. We cannot govern the world without his assistance. Even if
There is nothing wrong with letting him lead all officials!"
"No!"
Ma looked serious and waved his hand: "Chongba, this is what I want to tell you. Mr. Zhang will help you formulate national policies, write articles, explain principles, and win the hearts of the people. To put it bluntly, Mr. Zhang is just like your
Brain, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously and said without hesitation: "Yes, it is true!"
Ma said: "Since you also know, then you shouldn't give your hands and feet to Mr. Zhang. This would be good for everyone!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, looked at Ma again, and showed a little more respect. He explained such a big matter clearly in just a few words. He was indeed his good wife.
The relationship between Ma and Zhang Ximeng is definitely not shallow, and she has no intention of alienating the emperor and his ministers...
In fact, Ma's positioning of Zhang Ximeng is very accurate. He is almost equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang's brain, responsible for providing ideas... If the execution part is also handed over to Zhang Ximeng, what else will Zhu Yuanzhang do?
Moreover, if Zhang Ximeng assumes the position of Prime Minister and is responsible for implementation work, it will inevitably affect his ideological output. Being stuck in complicated government affairs all day long will prevent him from thinking carefully about planning for the future.
So from a certain perspective, Zhang Ximeng has already reached his peak at a young age...he has no chance of getting promoted or making a fortune.
There is nothing more tragic than this in life!
It’s really a long song that deserves to be cried, and it’s time to cry bitterly!
As if he noticed Zhang Ximeng's tragedy, Ma said again: "Chongba, Mr. Zhang is still alone now. He is not too young. It is time to consider starting a family."
Lao Zhu was startled, "Is it so fast? Our Biao'er is only that big, and he is more than ten years younger than us!"
Ma couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, "You are also confused. There are many people who get married at fifteen or sixteen. Who made you poor and have to be more than twenty before you marry a wife?"
Lao Zhu smiled in amazement, "We've been waiting for a girl, haven't we? We don't like other people either!"
Ma rolled his eyes, when did this guy become so thick-skinned?
Is it possible that as a person becomes the King of Wu, his face grows day by day?
What about myself, Princess Wu?
Will he also become thick-skinned?
…
In terms of civil servants, the existing structure is still maintained. Li Shanchang leads the Sixth Department of Zhongshu and is responsible for administration. Zhang Ximeng, as the right prime minister, supervises the Hanlin Academy, Imperial College and other yamen.
Furthermore, Lao Zhu made adjustments. He singled out Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and put Zhang Ximeng in charge... This responsibility was not to let Zhang Ximeng usurp Li Shanchang's power, but to make Zhang Ximeng responsible for legislation.
Since we need to redefine the rules and rebuild the world, all propositions must be implemented in legal provisions. Past legal provisions that do not conform to this purpose must be revised, and any deficiencies must be supplemented.
Even if Zhang Ximeng doesn't take up the matter, no one else would dare to take it over. After all, Zhang Ximeng's ideas and opinions naturally belong to him.
In addition, Zhang Ximeng is also responsible for the prince's education.
In this way, Zhang Ximeng's responsibilities are very clear. He is responsible for drafting decrees, training, education, and legislation of senior officials, as well as training the prince.
In addition, there are also some counselors on military affairs, banking, commerce, and trade matters... If he was involved in everything, it would probably not be enough to give him forty-eight hours a day.
Fortunately, Zhang Ximeng also has his own team. After Liu Ji left, Song Lian took full responsibility. In addition, he has recently recruited a large number of young talents. After they can take charge of government affairs, Zhang Ximeng will be able to greatly reduce the difficulty of the work. He only needs to grasp the general idea.
If you look at it this way, Zhu Yuanzhang becoming king really had little impact on Zhang Ximeng. Apart from increasing his salary, it didn't seem to be anything special.
The sun still rises as usual, and the days go by as usual... However, for a person, the years are not so peaceful.
The only remaining one of the Four Scholars, Mr. Huang Shuhuang, suffered a terrible defeat after a debate. Zhang Ximeng was always kind and gentle throughout the debate, and did not rely on authority to bully his white body.
But the more this happens, the greater the harm it causes to him.
Huang Ming did not lie when he said that he came with the intention of dying. He really thought so.
His words were unpleasant and his advice was off-putting, which irritated Zhu Yuanzhang to the point of losing his life. He was still a figure in Shilin, and his reputation would even become more famous.
Seek benevolence and you will get benevolence, seek hammer and you will get hammer.
You can die without regrets.
However, things were completely different from what he thought. He did not say anything and even lost his face.
Do people in their seventies or eighties still have the nerve to go back?
How can we face our parents and fellow villagers?
He seemed to be thinking about it over and over again, but never came to a conclusion. The old man lay paralyzed on the hospital bed for three whole days, and almost breathed his last breath.
Fortunately, the clever methods of several miracle doctors saved the old man's life.
After five days, Huang Ming was able to walk in the fields.
But just as he was walking slowly on crutches, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers on the street outside the courtyard wall.
"Kneel down, it's really a kneeling statue!"
Huang Huang tried his best to keep his dim eyes wide open, and finally found a carriage with a kneeling statue on it...with a long futou on his head.
It's Zhao Gou!
Zhu Yuanzhang really made Song Gaozong kneel down!
In an instant, Huang Ming seemed to have been struck by nine lightning strikes, his liver and gallbladder were split apart, and his soul was gone!
He looked at it stupidly and knelt down involuntarily.
"No, you can't bully God!"
Huang Shulao burst into tears and cried bitterly. He struggled hard and wanted to do something, but after struggling, he fell to the ground, leaving only big gasps for breath and mumbling to himself.
By the time people found him, the old man was foaming at the mouth and incontinent. This man had suffered a stroke!
At this young age, I was hit hard and suffered a stroke. I am afraid I may not have a few days to live.
But why did the scholar Lin Hongru die because of Zhao Gou?
In other words, if Zhao Gou knew that there were still people dying for him so many years after his death, would he be smiling?
In fact, anyone who understands some of the key points can clearly see that as Zhao Gou knelt down, some things were changed forever.
In the past, scholars spared no effort to praise the Holy Emperor, but they also despised ordinary people. Although they shouted "long live the emperor", in fact, they were unwilling to give the emperor any authority. They just wanted to turn the emperor into a mascot and enshrine him in the shrine.
Just fine.
The reason for this is very simple. Between the emperor and the people, there is a group of scholar-bureaucrats.
The higher the emperor is praised, the deeper the common people are squeezed. The area in between is dominated by scholar-bureaucrats, a typical middleman's routine of eating both ends.
However, as the theory of the relationship between heaven and man was overturned, the emperor directly governed the country according to the people's hearts... This was equivalent to putting the scholar-officials on the fire, and they no longer had a transcendent status.
Future emperors can also communicate directly with the people, thereby reforming officials and cutting off flesh and blood from the scholar-bureaucrats.
A civilization of scholars that lasted for two thousand years came to an end!
As the most famous scholar in the scholarly world, how can he survive?
The day before Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, Huang Shu died on the hospital bed. He was in great pain and tangled, wailing indistinctly all night. In the early morning, he reluctantly took his last breath, his eyes widened, and he refused to close his eyes.
The news reached Zhang Ximeng. They were arguing together a few days ago. Although the old man called him a traitor and wanted to beat him to death, the old boy, the little boy, at such an old age, could only act like a child and act like a spoiled child. Zhu Biao peed all over you.
, can it still be the same as a child?
After all, it was a bit emotional.
It happened that at this time, a descendant of Yue Fei came and gave a bronze jue to Li Shanchang. It was said that this thing was originally made by Yue Fei's grandson Yue Ke, and it had four characters on it.
Serve the country with loyalty!
"Xiang Zhang, do you think this Bronze Lord should be placed in front of King Yue's tomb?"
Zhang Ximeng's face was a little solemn, and he served the country with loyalty, with the word "loyalty" in it. Although Zhao Gou did not deserve to be loyal, it was still somewhat inconsistent.
"Brother Li, do you think you can make Zhao Gou kneel down, but face the Central Plains?"
When Li Shanchang heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then grinned and said, "Wonderful, that's wonderful! Prime Minister Zhang is really a genius!"
