The emperor's words determined that dozens of people involved in this incident, as well as no less than ten thousand people implicated, would disappear from the vast history of the Central Plains.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Gao Yangzhi appreciatively: "I'll leave this matter to you and keep an eye on it personally."
Gao Yangzhi nodded silently and took the order.
The court's punishments and severe punishments were always intended to frighten Xiao Xiao.
And what he proposed today, to expel **, ** and other people from their six ethnic groups, was not to set an example for future generations, so that future generations could remember this matter and not dare to do so.
Perverting the law.
There will naturally be events in future generations that can shock future generations.
What he has to do is to completely shock the people at the moment.
After Gao Yangzhi accepted the order, he slowly retreated to the team belonging to the cabinet ministers, and his eyes swept over the surrounding civil and military ministers.
I am afraid that no one here would like to be like ** and ** and become an existence abandoned by history and words.
No one wants to be like this.
Even a person like Cao Mengde would only shout: I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me.
But if you tell this thief Cao, from now on, no one will know his name, existence, or deeds in his life.
I'm afraid he would never dare to say something like "I would rather teach the world not to recognize me."
All fights are nothing more than fame and wealth.
The reputation is gone, so there’s nothing left to argue about.
In the eyes of future generations, it may be a small punishment, but to these people now, it is far more terrifying than beheading, confiscating the family, and annihilating the entire clan.
After Gao Yangzhi returned to the group of cabinet ministers, he heard the gentleman beside him, Xie Jin, speak in a low voice.
"You also want to imitate Tie Xuan and renounce yourself in the court?"
Gao Yangzhi glanced at the civil and military officials present again.
At this moment, no one dared to look directly at him, not even secretly looking at him.
Gao Yangzhi chuckled in a low voice.
"Students are in the cabinet and are in charge of the three law departments. Why do they need to be liked? If one day...then these people will naturally come to visit you with smiles on their faces."
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment.
I have to nod my head in agreement with this student's point of view.
But he shook his head again: "You are becoming more and more knowledgeable about being an official."
Gao Yangzhi clasped his hands together and chuckled.
When Xie Jin saw this, he said no more.
Even though they are their own students, students have grown up now and have their own opinions on things.
As long as it doesn't develop in a bad direction, Xie Jin has always advocated that his students can develop in a variety of ways.
This end.
With the traitors such as the ** and the ** being dealt with, the abdication ceremony has also entered the process again.
First of all, it was naturally Sun Gouer who read the abdication edict of Emperor Hongwu in public.
This abdication edict is naturally different from the original historical edict.
They generally affirmed the political measures of the Hongwu Dynasty and then praised the prince's outstanding abilities.
Finally, he placed high hopes on the prince who was about to become the new emperor. He hoped that the new emperor could continue to implement the policies of the Hongwu Dynasty, not shy away from the so-called ancestral laws, and adapt to the changing policies of the times.
The core point of the entire abdication edict is actually about the determination and changes of the ancestral laws that have been spoken by countless civil and military ministers since ancient times.
With the issuance of Zhu Yuanzhang's abdication edict.
Later emperors of the Ming Dynasty no longer had to worry about the so-called ancestral laws.
Once the Ming Dynasty needs to update its national policy, it can correct it according to the national conditions at that time without having to worry about the obstruction of the civil and military officials above the court.
Anyone who blocks it is really fighting against the ancestral method.
Then, it was the same old routine of three invitations and three resignations.
The princes and ministers in the court invited the prince three times to ascend the throne. Zhu Biao resigned from the throne three times, and only nodded in agreement at the last time.
Even if it is abdication, the rules that kings should abide by still need to be implemented and observed.
How could the position of emperor be given up just by saying so?
Even if it’s a scene-based process, it must be done.
It doesn't matter who they are, they all have the surname Sima.
Not every dynasty is as capable of treachery as the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family, and killed the emperor in the street. Afterwards, he even wanted to silence the minister, but he didn't want the minister to strip naked and climb to the roof in front of the entire city.
Exposed the dirty things that Sima's family did.
Since then, no matter whether the Sima family has done well or badly, it can be regarded as a solid achievement that will leave its name in history.
Moreover, the Sima family did not do very well either.
In the end, it also resulted in the death of the entire clan, but it was a beginning and an end, and the retribution was unpleasant.
After three invitations and three resignations.
Zhu Biao finally accepted the position of the new king of the Ming Dynasty with the support of the civil and military officials. Under the service of the etiquette officials and the eunuchs of the inner court, he put on the last dragon dress sewn by Empress Ma herself fifteen years ago in Hongwu.
robe.
now.
All attention.
Zhu Biao held his wide sleeves in one hand and held them horizontally in front of him. With the other hand, he held the sleeves and held them behind his back. His eyes were brightly red.
"Xuan."
"All officials kowtow."
Sun Gou'er also had tears in his eyes, but he was filled with endless joy.
He had served the Tian family for many years and knew very well how much the Queen loved and cared for these children.
If the queen is still here...
Sun Gou'er couldn't help but turn around and look at Zhongshan to the north of the Temple of Heaven.
As for the clan's meritorious deeds, the princes and ministers came forward one after another, waved their robes, and knelt on the ground.
Sun Gouer held back his surging emotions and tears and shouted again: "Xing."
All the officials stood up.
"kneel."
Hundreds of officials kowtowed.
"prosper."
The officials stood up again.
Sun Gouer finally shouted: "Kneel down again."
All the officials knelt down and waited for the last word "Xing" from Sun Gou'er's mouth.
Inside and outside the Temple of Heaven, the merits of the princes, civil and military ministers, officers and soldiers, and the common people all started to shout loudly.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
So far.
At this abdication ceremony, Zhu Biao accepted the abdication and all the procedures for becoming the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty were completed.
From this moment on, Zhu Biao was the supreme power of the Ming Empire.
Zhu Biao looked at the civil and military officials and thousands of people in front of him, slowly turned around, and bowed respectfully to the old man sitting on the throne on the left.
Then he gently picked up his steps and sat on the throne on the right.
He waved his sleeves.
Sun Gou'er immediately took out a prepared decree from the side and sent it to Ren Hengtai's hands.
Ren Hengtai took over the imperial edict.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, he stood in front of the throne, faced everyone, and began to read out the first imperial edict of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty after he ascended the throne.
"... All Hongwu national policies should be followed at present, and all departments will continue to work as usual."
The emperor's first decree was also full of formulas and rules.
First of all, it is natural to acknowledge all the political strategies of the Hongwu Dynasty, then there are words of self-effacement, and finally there is the outlook for the new dynasty, confirming that next year it will be the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous.
Other than that, there is no particularly eye-catching content presented in this will.
As for the changes in court officials that may result from the new emperor and new dynasty, they actually have no significance for Zhu Biao's Yongsheng Dynasty.
After all, the entire Hongwu Dynasty was supervised by the prince Zhu Biao, and most of the officials in the court were appointed and dismissed by Zhu Biao.
As said before.
This abdication ceremony was just a process that allowed Zhu Biao to have the legitimate title of emperor.
As for the power of the emperor?
Don't you know that during the Hongwu Dynasty, everyone in the dynasty was a princeling?
The leader of the party, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, is the same!
Even into the afternoon.
The abdication ceremony has just ended at the Temple of Heaven.
The old emperor and the new emperor rode together in a royal chariot, and under the heavy guard of the imperial army, they returned to the inner city and entered the palace.
There will be no court meeting in the palace today.
But in the Wenhua Hall, there were high-level meetings between the new emperor and the cabinet, as well as ministers from the Jiuqing and Five Temples.
The meeting will naturally discuss the handover of state power and the implementation of national policies.
These are actually insignificant matters to Zhu Biao, the Yongsheng Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, it's just the same person using a different seal.
Zhu Yunxi naturally had no intention of participating in this.
After sending the old man and his father to the Meridian Gate, they took Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing out of the palace.
"Is this the end of the matter?"
The three brothers walked out of the right gate of Chang'an and walked on West Chang'an Street. Zhu Shangbing asked curiously.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi looked back at Zhu Shangbing with strange eyes, but neither of them spoke.
Zhu Shangbing felt a little scared when he saw these two people. He hesitated and said: "What...what's wrong? I mean...the matter of the emperor's grandson, Brother Hei...could it be settled like this?"
Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes, looking at Xiaohan's stable performance as always. God knows what he was expecting just now.
Could it be that I could still expect Xiaohan to say something refreshing?
Really confused.
The corners of Zhu Gaochi's eyes twitched, and he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhu Shangbing on the back of the head.
"What are you doing!"
Zhu Shangbing shrank his head and covered the back of his head with his hands, his face full of anger.
Zhu Gaochi hated the fact that iron was not made of steel and roared: "Does the Ming Dynasty still need the emperor's grandson now? You idiot!"
Zhu Shangbing was probably knocked unconscious by the slap and was still confused: "Don't you need it?"
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Shangbing who continued to act foolishly: "Your uncle, the prince, is now the Yongsheng Emperor of our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Shangbing tilted his head and curled his lips: "What's wrong? Isn't your eldest son the eldest grandson of your uncle?"
quack……
On West Chang'an Street, a row of crows flew past.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
They originally thought Zhu Shangbing was on the first floor.
But the reality is.
They are clearly on the fifth floor!
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi nodded immediately.
"you are right!"
"correct!"
"Fair!"
Zhu Shangbing frowned and looked at the two of them: "Is there a problem?"
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi shook their heads repeatedly: "No problem!"
"Then where are we going now? To the Xicheng project?"
Zhu Shangbing asked curiously.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Shangbing frowned and pointed to the northwest with his arm: "Is that the Jiaofang Secretary over there?"
Zhu Yunxi heard the sound and looked over.
On the northwest side of the intersection of West Chang'an Street and Datong Street is the location of Wumanyi and Jiaofangsi.
Snapped!
Zhu Gaochi slapped Zhu Shangbing on the back of the head again.
Zhu Shangbing once again covered the back of his head with both hands.
At this moment, his face was filled with anger and his eyes were red.
"Zhu Gaochi! What on earth are you going to do!"
Zhu Gaochi hummed and said: "On the first day that uncle ascends the throne, you are going to visit Jiaofangsi? Do you think your butt has become stronger recently?"
After that, he and Zhu Yunxi continued walking towards the west city.
Zhu Shangbing's face was full of resentment and he stamped his feet unwillingly, but he could only follow behind the two of them.
The three brothers walked like this, crossing Zhongcheng Street and entering the Xicheng project site.
Because the imperial court held a renunciation ceremony today, the Xicheng construction site was suspended for a rare day.
The workers who did not have time to rush to the outer city to watch the ceremony gathered together to lazily bask in the sun.
When he saw Zhu Yunxi and others coming over, he didn't say anything, he just cupped his fists and bowed from a distance, then continued chatting in the sun.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the buildings in the Xicheng project that were constructed according to the plan, and said with great interest: "According to the construction period, can it be opened to the public in June or July?"
"The commercial district will probably be completed by June or July. Since investment has already begun, it will probably be open to the public at that time."
Zhu Yunxi answered softly.
Zhu Gaochi looked into the distance. In a garden landscape open space in the middle of a group of buildings, Song Liuhong, a female official dressed as before, was leading people to landscape the open space, plant trees, flowers, and arrange stones.
Zhu Gaochi chuckled and said: "Although it has only been a few days, the city now has a very high opinion of these three unprecedented female officials. They all say that women are like men. They are indeed not idle vassals."
Zhu Yunxi just smiled: "It will be spring plowing soon, and the men must put in a lot of effort in the fields. But there can't be fewer people in the factories. We still have to see how the recruitment of female workers in various factories starts this spring.
judge."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head, adhering to the principle of not interrupting when it was not his errand, and then said: "I also heard that the food city here has finished recruiting investment? Many people outside the city have started to open their doors in Yingtian Mansion.
With the promotion, we can purchase poultry breeding from Shanglinyuan Supervisory Loan, but don’t let this matter fail and let the people bear the loan in vain.”
Zhu Yunxi wants to build a food city and a commercial entity. To boost Yingtiancheng’s commercial tax, he must have a stable supply of raw materials.
Food is the most important part of it.
The so-called basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.
Here, only food costs money every day.
The house you live in may only be bought once in a lifetime. You may only travel once a season. You may only buy one set of clothes every six months when the season changes. Even most ordinary people buy one set every year.
There is only food. Although it doesn’t cost much each time, it can’t support everyone’s daily needs.
It is precisely because, since the Xicheng project was launched years ago, Yingtian City has begun to encourage people around Yingtian City to buy poultry babies from Shanglinyuan Supervision and take loans to take home and raise them, and then provide them to the food city in the Xicheng project.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and replied: "This matter was guaranteed by Yingtian City for the people and the Shanglinyuan Supervisor. Even if something goes wrong in the end, Yingtian Mansion will bear the responsibility and it has nothing to do with the people."
Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and stopped asking about the Xicheng project.
He turned around and looked at Zhu Yunxi curiously for a while.
Then a smile appeared on his face.
"By the way, my uncle has ascended the throne. When will you, the former great-grandson, become the crown prince?"
