Suning's methods were rough and swift. Because he firmly grasped the military power and righteousness of the Ming Dynasty, Suning didn't care about the resistance of the princes. In addition, Zhu Di had already pulled out all the teeth of these princes, so they
Instead, I could only obey and go to Beijing.
In fact, these kings did not want to be raised as "pigs", so when Suning allowed them to obtain fame and do business, they couldn't help but feel excited. In addition, the royal family could also enter the cabinet and participate in and decide the Ming Dynasty.
What else could they be dissatisfied with regarding the major events of the dynasty?
As for the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, they are just tools in the hands of the powerful. Zhu Yuanzhang has handed over the Ming Empire to Zhu Yunwen, but Zhu Di still used the excuse of "Jingnan" to rebel. This fully shows that the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty are only a tool in the hands of the powerful.
It will be powerful in the late Ming Dynasty, and it will still be a shackle that restrains the emperor in the late Ming Dynasty.
Sun Ruowei gave birth to a pair of twins to Suning. Emperor Zhu Gaochi was so happy that he immediately named the children Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu respectively, and then forcibly brought them to his palace to raise them, without giving Suning a chance to refuse.
"Sun Ruowei, you have become a hero of our Ming Dynasty again." Suning looked at Sun Ruowei with a smile.
"Your Majesty, how could this happen?" Sun Ruowei looked at Suning in confusion.
"Haha, maybe God also thinks that you are too partial to Zhu Qiyu, so he makes you love him from the bottom of your heart."
"Your Majesty, have I ever treated Zhu Qiyu differently?"
"Sun Ruowei, now they are all your sons, you should raise them well."
Some people were happy and some were sad. Seeing that Sun Ruowei had brought twins directly, Concubine An felt a little confused. You must know that she and Suning were together the most, and they were with Suning the earliest than Sun Ruowei. She really couldn't figure out why there had been no twins.
movement.
"Your Majesty, why is there no movement in my concubine's stomach?"
"Xijuan, could it be that you are putting too much pressure on yourself?"
"Ah? Does this also have an impact?"
"Of course it will have an impact, and doing it too frequently will also affect the chance of pregnancy."
"Ah? How could this happen?"
"Don't worry! There is nothing wrong with your body at all. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We will follow your ovulation period."
"Your Majesty, all my concubines and ministers are dependent on you."
"Hehe, of course this kind of thing depends on me."
...
Suning's control over the Ming Dynasty was no worse than that of Taizu and Taizong, so any decree would be implemented immediately. The seven-person cabinet not only regulated a lot, but also allowed them to check each other.
Realizing that the civil service community was getting stronger and stronger, Suning directly opened literacy classes in the army, searched for young talents and candidates who had failed, and then sent them all to the Ming Dynasty's army for training. Soon, the Ming Dynasty's army became more and more educated.
, of course this is a process that accumulates over time, so Suning is still very patient in implementing it.
The transformation of the army, coupled with the strict separation of military and political affairs, completely prevented the unlimited expansion of the civil service. At the same time, Suning also began a strict anti-corruption campaign. Although it did not have the skin and cramps of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, it left corrupt officials with a legacy.
Lives still made corrupt officials the treasure trove of Ming Dynasty's finances.
Suning's series of decrees were all practical and effective. Although they knew that Suning was restricting their collective civil service, Suning used an upright conspiracy, and Sanyang had no choice but to cooperate with Suning.
"Mr. Yang Ge, how are my Ming Dynasty's taxes this year?" Suning looked at Yang Shiqi in front of him with a smile.
"Back to the emperor, because Ming Dynasty has strengthened its anti-corruption campaign, this year's taxes have doubled." At this time, Yang Shiqi and the others were speechless at these corrupt officials.
"Well, corruption is like leeks. Once you cut them, there will be another one. We can only try our best to fight against corruption and promote integrity."
"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"
"Your Majesty, I heard that you intend to abolish all punishments in the world?" At this time, Yang Rong looked at Suning excitedly.
"Yes! Abolish all cruel punishments and just impose imprisonment and death sentences according to the number of years."
"Your Majesty, this is truly a sage's strategy!" Sanyang said in a flattering tone to Suning.
"Haha, imprisonment and death penalty may make them more afraid."
...
Because Zhu Di made five expeditions to Mobei, and the last time he defeated Meng Yuan's main force, completely breaking Meng Yuan's last backbone, Suning became much more relaxed when managing the grassland.
The Ming Dynasty directly stationed 100,000 field troops in the grasslands to form a real power over the tribes in the grasslands. Then they recruited troops from the tribes in the grasslands and sent troops to various parts of the Southeast Peninsula and Northeast Asia. They soon conquered the small neighboring countries of the Ming Dynasty.
"Zheng He, you must pay attention to safety during your voyage to the West this time and arrange your successor."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
"Also! I am not interested in the rare treasures of various countries. Instead, I am interested in the food and book culture of various countries."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I know how to act."
"Well, the purpose of your missions to various countries is to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty in doing business, and you don't need those vain things. You must let the maritime transport develop in a healthy way, and no longer have the gold and jade in the past."
"Eh? I understand."
"Go! I, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, will give us the Ming Dynasty to expand more living space."
"Living space?"
"My Ming Dynasty is a living organism, and it must have a living space that can satisfy its growth and development."
"Your Majesty, I must fight for the living space of our Ming Dynasty for the rest of our lives."
In order to support Zheng He and his entire maritime policy, Suning also vigorously developed sea-going ship manufacturing, supported more merchants to enter maritime trade, encouraged various places to open factories and promote the research and development of machinery, which soon led to a great explosion in Ming's industry and commerce, and also reflected
In the past, it promoted the simultaneous development of agriculture.
In the twelfth year of Xuande, Suning saw that he had broken the curse on his life, and then decreed a system of unified grain payment for officials and gentry, which immediately caused an uproar among the government and the public throughout the country, and unprecedented pressure came.
If Suning and Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi had not accumulated strength for sixteen years, they might have been directly overthrown by the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty this time. This shows how angry these powerful people of the Ming Dynasty were, but in the end they could only be obedient.
obedience.
For this system of integrated grain payment for officials and gentry, Suning prepared a lot of things, and the impact it had on the Ming Dynasty was far-reaching. It can be regarded as having the foundation for the country to last for five hundred years.
In the fifty-sixth year of Xuande, Suning, who had been the emperor in the fifty-sixth year of Ming Dynasty, passed away. At this time, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu were already fifty-six years old and had grown into suitable heirs to the empire. Then Suning
The throne was handed over to Zhu Qiyu, which was a kind of compensation for his unfair fate.
