Chapter 321 What should be given to you, I will definitely give it, and what should not be given to you, you cannot rob
Chapter 321: I will definitely give you what is due to you, and you cannot take what is not due to you.
"They are not only the ministers of King Tan, but also the ministers of our Ming Dynasty. What they serve is the country of our Ming Dynasty. Since they are our ministers of the Ming Dynasty, guilty and innocent, they should be subject to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
There is a joint review by three departments. "Why do netizens in the novel "Hit Your Majesty" need to be like this? Is it possible that there is some old grudge between you and them that you want to use my hands to get rid of?" Zhu Qizhen's voice was not high, but his words
The desolate chill that came out of it penetrated directly into the hearts of everyone...
"...I was temporarily blinded by the power of my Majesty. Please forgive me." Xu Youzhen knelt down again, with a sad look on his face and a cry in his voice. Seeing Xu Youzhen like this, the civil and military ministers all apologized to Zhu Qizhen with their heads downcast.
In short, they understood that the emperor in front of them was definitely not a character who was easy to fool. While Zhang Fu bowed his head and confessed, he cast his complaining eyes on Shi Heng in front of him. If this guy hadn't talked so sweetly in front of him, he would have
The words were so fancy that as long as he and others could persuade Zhu Qizhen to kill the ministers who were favored by Zhu Qiyu, then those vacant positions would become his own.
At this moment, Shi Heng's face was ashen, and his body prostrated on the ground could not help but be a little shaky. He was really fooled by the lard. How could he believe the words of this bastard Xu Youzhen? Look at Zhu Qizhen's behavior today.
Shi Heng's attitude was depressing in his heart. He knew that the feelings he had cultivated on the grassland had been destroyed by his own hands.
Yes, he accompanied Zhu Qizhen to fight all the way down the prairie. As he made more and more achievements, his morale became higher and higher. And Zhu Qizhen's attitude towards him made Shi Heng feel that he was the only one.
He is the number one general of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest are just a bunch of soy sauce.
After accompanying Zhu Qizhen to the capital, Yang Hong's old wounds recurred. Zhu Qizhen immediately handed over the military power of the capital camp to Shi Heng. Who would have thought that Shi Heng would be temporarily in charge of the capital camp?
However, he was not satisfied with the military power of the battalion, or he felt that an old guy like Yang Hong should have entered the loess long ago.
And I, following you, Zhu Qizhen, through life and death for so long, but after arriving in the capital, I was only allowed to temporarily take over Yang Hong's position, which made Shi Heng quite dissatisfied. In the end, Xu Youzhen, who had come to seek refuge, realized what Shi Heng was thinking, and accidentally
He persuaded Shi Heng with words and words.
After that, Shi Heng wandered around again and got a group of officials who had the same idea as him to come here.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
However, Shi Heng never expected that in Zhu Qizhen's heart, or in Zhu Qizhen's view from the future, Shi Heng's character had already been known to him, and his performance today was...
I'm afraid it will be a matter of time.
And Zhu Qizhen just happened to use him and these guys to do the surgery, kill the chickens and respect the monkeys, so that all the civil and military officials in the court would think clearly and see clearly that I, Zhu Qizhen, was not one of those people who stayed in the deep palace and didn't know anything.
A puppet emperor who is only manipulated by his subordinates all day long.
In the Chongzhi Palace, the civil and military ministers are not as satisfied as when they first entered the palace. Their majestic and high-spirited postures are like a nest of quails huddled in the ice and snow.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Yuan Bin couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this situation. He didn't know why Zhu Qizhen was so angry. After all, Zhu Qizhen usually got angry and scolded people, but he had never done this before. Hurry up.
He took a few steps forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although these ministers have selfish motives, the final decision-making power is in your hands. If you don't allow it, who in the world would dare to disobey it?"
Of course, Zhu Qizhen would not explain to Yuan Bin at this time why he wanted to use the subject as an excuse. However, judging from the performance of these guys, he was almost as angry today. I believe he would leave a very deep impression on them and let them know.
They always remember what kind of emperor I am.
"You all go back to your homes and think carefully about what I said today. I hope you will remember this sentence. I will definitely give you what is due to you. You can't take what is not yours. Otherwise, don't blame me.
Just be honest." After saying these words, Zhu Qizhen strode out of Chongzhi Hall, leaving behind dozens of civil and military ministers with sweaty clothes and gray faces.
Looking at Zhu Qizhen's back, Shi Heng opened his mouth, but in the end he did not scream. Now, Shi Heng realized that his little thoughts were simply a prank that could not be staged in the eyes of the emperor.
After this experience, my career may have come to an end.
"Your Majesty, are you being too hasty by doing this? Although the capital is now under our control, the time is still short after all, and Shi Heng, Zhang Fu and others are all veteran generals in the army and are quite prestigious.
." Yuan Bin knew Zhu Qizhen, so sometimes, when he spoke, he would not appear so respectful, but he knew that Zhu Qizhen did not care too much about these, but preferred that they use a more natural way.
attitudes to communicate with each other.
"I know what you mean, but I have to do this." Zhu Qizhen walked slowly along the bank of the cold windy Zhongnanhai lake, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want another Wang Zhen to appear.
Let him stay at home, think about it, and then continue to serve the court after he has figured it out. If he can't figure it out, or he still has selfish intentions, then I will not let them stay in those key positions."
After hearing what Zhu Qizhen said, Yuan Bin couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He already understood what Zhu Qizhen said. Yes, the reason why Zhu Qizhen became a prisoner of Wasi was precisely because he trusted the eunuchs, Shi Heng and others too much.
Although he was not a middle-ranking official, he was quite prestigious in the army and had military power. In this regard, he was even an advantage that eunuchs like Wang Zhen, who were hated by foreign ministers, could not match.
Once such a person gained power without any scruples, it would definitely be a greater disaster for the Ming Dynasty than when eunuchs like Wang Zhen came to power.
"I want to build a new Ming Empire. I need to devote all my efforts. I hope that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty can also be like me and put their minds first on the country. Instead of letting them put all their thoughts on
As for internal strife, China has experienced many dynasties over thousands of years. Among them, how many dynasties were destroyed by foreign enemies due to constant internal disputes? Doesn’t Yuan Qing not know? "
Yuan Bin nodded with deep sympathy. "Your Majesty Shengming, many dynasties such as the Han, Jin, and Tang dynasties suffered a great decline in national power due to civil strife and disputes. In the end, they were taken advantage of by foreign races."
"Yes, I don't want our Ming Dynasty to repeat the mistakes of other dynasties. Then we need to change. To seek change, we need to unite our efforts and accumulate decades of achievements before we can achieve success. Unfortunately, although I
I have ambitions, but I can only see those civil and military officials who have ulterior motives and are bent on selfishness. Tell me, can I not be annoyed?"
Zhu Qizhen walked to a boulder that was halfway into the lake and took a deep breath. "Yuan Qing, you, Ha Ming, Wei Mingtong, you are not only my confidants, but also my right-hand men."
, some words can only be said to you, and only you can understand my thoughts."
"Although some ministers are on my side, and what they are doing is also the country of Ming Dynasty, some things have become rigid in their minds, or in other words, in their eyes, the ancestral method is the greatest.
Therefore, whatever I want to do will be difficult."
"Your Majesty, I know in my heart that you are here for me. Although I am not talented, I am still willing to do everything for Your Majesty." Hearing the bitterness and emotion in Zhu Qizhen's words, Yuan Bin moved towards Zhu Qi in an excited mood.
Zhen Gong speaks by words.

"Get up, Yuan Bin, I have something important for you to do." Zhu Qizhen raised his hand and patted Yuan Bin on the shoulder. "You still remember, I am in Xuanfu because I want to build a trading company.
Because the accounting office was short of manpower, a math school was specially built in the Xuan Mansion. Now it not only supplies a large number of talents to the trading companies, but there are also many businessmen outside the Xuan Mansion who are interested in sending people to study."
"Exactly, what is your Majesty's intention when he mentions this matter?" Yuan Bin couldn't help but be stunned and quickly asked.
"You have to know that Xuanfu Trading Co., Ltd. has half of my shares. Now that I have ascended the throne as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, those imperial estates will naturally belong to me. The imperial estates have a lot of land, but the income they receive is not as much as the income of ordinary people.
One and a half. This shows that the eunuchs who manage the imperial estates may have done a lot of tricks here." When Zhu Qizhen said this, he couldn't help but smile coldly.
In fact, the Imperial Manor of the Ming Dynasty was a new thing that began to appear during the reign of Emperor Yongle. It was the lands he acquired when he was King of Yan. Later, he became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. What should he do with those lands?
I don't know what kind of psychology it was out of, or maybe it was to commemorate his past. In short, Zhu Di seemed reluctant to return it directly to the country, and regarded the lands given to him by his father Zhu Yuanzhang as the emperor's private property.
, called Huangzhuang.
The distribution of Huangzhuang is mainly concentrated in Shuntian and other eight prefectures in North Zhili. Especially Shuntian, Baoding, Hejian and other prefectures are the most numerous. After reading the information, Zhu Qizhen knew the Huangzhuang under his name.
There are thirteen places in the village.
There are many sources of land in Huangzhuang. Among them, the main sources are the horse hay factory land that was originally the official land of the state, the village land that was returned to the ancestral relatives, the occupied people's land, and part of the government and people's fields donated by the "treacherous people" to the eunuchs of Guanzhuang.
The prince's palace resigned and he returned to the land to wait.
In the Gyeonggi area alone, there are four Huangzhuangs, covering an area of more than 9,800 hectares. When Zhu Qizhen first saw it, he couldn't help but secretly sneered. These areas alone, added up, are equivalent to
So the total land of one to two counties.
However, the output of these imperial estates aroused Zhu Qizhen's curiosity, that is, the average income from such a large amount of land per mu was less than half of the taxes paid by the common people per mu of land.
Zhu Qizhen simply summoned several officials and several eunuchs to ask questions. After asking, he understood what was going on.
Most of the internal management personnel of Huangzhuang were directly appointed by the palace to manage the eunuchs of Guanzhuang. There were also dozens of officials, village heads, family members, etc. The eunuchs of Guanzhuang relied on their power to brutally exploit the farmers, causing farmers to raise their voices of injustice and even attack the state.
County officials are not allowed to do it.
But those county magistrates can't control it. After all, those guys are sent by the palace. If you want to punish those people, aren't you offending the eunuch group? And some eunuchs in charge of the village even borrowed the emperor's name.
The name was used to falsely refer to people's fields and be dedicated to the imperial village. However, these fields were hidden and became the private property of the eunuchs who were in charge of the village in the future.
