After finishing writing the six edicts, Yunxi asked the eunuch to stamp them and then sent someone to the General Affairs Department for distribution.
Today's six decrees all provide benefits to officials. Although some decrees have nothing to do with most officials in Beijing, they will not object.
Yunxi was not shy about giving some money to officials or saying nice things. Anyway, the current annual tax is more than ten times the officials' salary, so it doesn't matter if they pay more.
The reason why Yunxi issued these six edicts was not because of his harsh treatment of Liu Chuan, but because Yunxi had actually thought about reforming the official system for a long time and issued these edicts, but after dealing with Liu Chuan
I felt that I needed some comfort, so I issued them all recently. Otherwise, how could one Liu Chuan compare to so many edicts?
These six decrees were quickly known to all civil servants. Those who were still complaining about Yunxi's treatment of Liu Chuan were too harsh, but in the blink of an eye so many benefits were handed out, and everyone no longer cared about Liu Chuan's outcome.
.
Although several imperial censors were still punished because of the relationship between things and their kind, but it was nothing more than a painless one, and no one repeatedly remonstrated after being detained. Of course, this was not only because of Yunxi's benefits.
The reason is also because this was not something they could decide or change in the Hongwu Dynasty.
At noon that day, Pan Ren, a doctor in the examination department of the Ministry of Personnel, received the six decrees issued by Yun He, and said to Lian Zining, the minister who was having a meal: "Lian Shangshu, how could your majesty suddenly treat officials so favorably? Is it because of his treatment of Liu?"
Yushi Sichuan's treatment was too harsh, so... is it because of...?"
Lian Zining said: "How could this be so? The appointment and dismissal of Kedao officials, magistrates, six ministers, ministers and other officials are all decided by your Majesty. Although we are officials of the Ministry of Personnel, we have no right to change them."
Others also said: "Yes, how could His Majesty be like this because of that incident? This shows that His Majesty still attaches great importance to us officials."
Another person said: "Speaking of which, compared with the Song Dynasty, the late emperor did not pay much attention to the schools of various prefectures, prefectures, and counties. The teachings in these schools were all those who entered the official ranks in the Song Dynasty..."
Seeing that the topic was getting further and further away from what he expected, Pan Ren hurriedly came back to Lian Zining and asked: "But no matter what, the punishment for Liu Yushi is too severe. I don't know why His Majesty would punish him like this."
Does Mr. Zhong? Lian know?"
Lian Zining said: "I was not present at the time, and I don't know the specific situation. But later I heard Zhuo Jing say that His Majesty probably said that this person was guilty of deceiving the emperor, so he was dealt with more harshly."
Song Hui, a doctor in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, opened his eyes wide and said: "What Liu Yushi said is indeed untrue, but it is too much to be considered as deceiving the emperor."
Lian Zining glanced at the officials present and said: "Is this punishment severe? This person's statement was untrue and he obviously intended to deceive Your Majesty. Fortunately, Your Majesty was aware of the situation and was not deceived. When the late emperor was there, similar things were not known to be exiled.
How many people are being treated by His Majesty just following the example of the late Emperor, and you are saying that they are too harsh? What are your intentions?"
What's the purpose? It's not because Zhu Yuanzhang died, the new emperor was still young, and he gave them a good look, so he treated them with relative contempt! Now that Lian Zining exposed his thoughts, everyone felt embarrassed.
After having a casual meal, we went to the public house. Pan Ren also followed the crowd and went back.
But when working in the afternoon, Pan Ren would talk about this matter with others from time to time, and would always lead others to think about the disadvantages of Yunxi without being noticed. However, Yunxi had just finished paying out the benefits today, and the effect was not very good, but
Pan Ren is not discouraged, after all, the days are long.
In the afternoon, all six ministers came to see Yunxi. The matter of sealing was finished in a big way, but there were many details. There were also other matters.
For example, Yan Zhenzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Your Majesty, did they build the palaces of these three feudal monarchs themselves, or did the court build them for them?"
Yunxi replied: "Since it is a feudal state, it is up to them to decide how to build the palace, where to build it, and when to build it, and the court has nothing to do with it."
Chen Di, the Minister of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu has been buried for a long time, and the matter of enfeoffing the country has been arranged. When will you invite your highnesses who are not enfeoffed kings to return to the fiefdom?"
In fact, Yunxi didn't want most of these vassal kings to return to their fiefdoms. But this was the ancestral system left by Zhu Yuanzhang. In history, even those who wanted to withdraw from the vassal when Yunxi became emperor did not dare to immediately violate the ancestral system.
, but eliminated them one by one, so Yunxi didn't dare.
So Yunxi said: "In a few days, please choose an auspicious day to send all the vassal kings back to their fiefdoms. When the Ministry of Rites decides on the date, let me know." Then Yunxi remembered something again and said: "Let the prince of Zhou stay here.
Beijing."
Then Yunxi remembered something again and said: "All the sons of the vassal kings who are seven years old or above will be taught uniformly in the capital just like when Emperor Taizu was alive."
Because there is currently no one to serve as Minister of War, and Chen Xingshan, who is also serving as the Left Minister, has no skills, so Jingqing, the Right Minister, is the chief officer of the Ministry of War. Jingqing said: "Your Majesty, in the future, the salaries and provisions of the guards assigned to several feudal monarchs will still be the same.
Will the court provide it?"
Yunxi thought for a while and said: "Let the guards of King Ying and King Min be responsible for them until everything is ready; let them take charge of the Shazhou guards of King Qin in the northwest for now, and wait until I tell you to stop."
." Yunxi planned to stop providing supplies after Shang Bing took control of Hami.
Then Lian Zining, the Minister of Personnel, Ru Yu, the Minister of Punishment, and Qitai, the Minister of Hubu, also came to Yunxi for other matters, and Yunxi answered them one by one. Then when they all left, Yunxi approved the zhezi. When all the zhezi were approved,
It was over and it was getting dark. Yunxi left several officials to have dinner and returned to the harem.
Tonight we were in the palace holding Qin according to the rules. Of course, Baoqin in Chengqian's palace had already made preparations. As soon as Yunxi came in, he took Zhu Wenyao and saluted Yunxi.
Yunxi also stretched out his hand to help her up and said, "I have told her several times that there is no need to give a big salute."
However, although Yunxi said this, he did not dare to learn from Xiyao in Baoqin. Xiyao was the wife and had a son; she was just another concubine.
Yunxi probably understood, so he just went ahead and entered the palace with Baoqin and Wenyao.
Yunxi first asked Baoqin: "How is your hand? Is it better?"
Baoqin said: "It's just a small opening. It's not worthy of your Majesty's daily inquiry. It will probably be done the day after tomorrow."
Yunxi said: "Don't be too quick, it's better to keep it for a few more days."
Baoqin asked the maid to bring some snacks to Yunxi, and then said: "Some new maids came to the palace a few days ago. I happened to find that one of the maids played the zither very well, so I asked her to come."
Then she turned to a pretty palace maid who was about fourteen or fifteen years old and said: "Zi Yan, come and play a soothing song for Your Majesty."
The palace maid replied: "Yes, empress." Then she put the zither on a special table and started playing.
Yunxi has been fond of music since his previous life. Although he sings out of tune, it does not prevent him from listening to classical music. Especially Chinese classical music, some sounds can completely relax people, especially suitable for those who are nervous.
Listen to it during your work breaks.
When the music started playing, Yunxi squinted his eyes and ate the peeled melon seeds while listening.
After a long while, Yunxi said to Baoqin: "This guy plays the zither very well, almost as well as you can play the piano." Since Baoqin is named "Baoqin", he has been practicing the piano since he was a child.
Baoqin had studied Yunxi's habits thoroughly and knew that he liked this kind of music. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Ziyan's zither can be played better than my concubine's. When your majesty comes again tomorrow, I will ask her to play the zither."
Your Majesty plays."
Yunxi said: "It's a pity that your hand is injured, otherwise it would be very good if you played a song with her."
Bao Qin said: "In a few days, my concubine's hand will heal, and I will play for His Majesty with Zi Yan."
After a while, Zi Yan's zheng song ended and another one was played. Seeing that Yun Xi was in a good mood, Bao Qin said: "Your Majesty, Wen Yao is three years old this year. Find a gentleman to enlighten him."
Let's wait until the "Thousand-Character Classic" is older. At least "The Three-Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames" should be memorized."
Then Baoqin immediately added: "We also need to start learning martial arts." She herself didn't think that the prince wanted to learn martial arts, but Yunxi practiced martial arts himself, so she said so.
Yunxi rubbed his eyes. Why are the parents of this era more cruel than the parents of later generations? A few days ago, Xiyao also told Baoqing, Miner, and Siqi to ask their husband to enlighten them and not let them play like this all the time.
.The oldest of these children is only three years old!
Yunxi had his own ideas about educating children. He was opposed to memorizing these things from an early age. The Three Character Classic was just fine. The Hundred Family Surnames had no rules. Although it also had rhyme, it was not a complete story.
Very headache.
Yunxi felt that it was okay for children at this time to study, but they could not memorize by rote. Of course, if their family were ordinary people and wanted their smart children to pass the imperial examination to change their destiny, then they could only memorize by rote.
, but their family doesn’t have to do this now.
Yunxi believes that you should find the person who is the most patient and the best storyteller. He can tell the meaning of each sentence of the "Three Character Classic" word for word, and speak it vividly so that the children will like to listen. In the end, the children will fall in love with learning.
Instead of studying for the praise of my father.
So Yunxi said: "We have to start laying the foundation for martial arts. Tomorrow I will find a few guards, who don't have to be very good at martial arts, to teach Wen Yao how to practice. In the future, Wen Yao will be a feudal country, so he must not be in poor health."
After a pause, Yunxi continued: "As for the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames" and so on, why do we need to memorize them? Our family is not going to take the imperial examination, so why do we memorize this?"
"I have my own ideas about children's education. From tomorrow, I will ask Wenyao to go to Qianqing Palace. I will educate him together with Baoqing, Miner, Siqi and the others."
Baoqin said in surprise: "Your Majesty personally enlightened me?" Can Yunxi teach him well?
Yunxi said: "I will initiate enlightenment in person first. I have special requirements for the gentleman who can enlighten my child, and I may not be able to find him for a while, so I will initiate enlightenment first. When a gentleman who meets my requirements is found, I will then allow him to be enlightened."
Teach, sir.”
Although Baoqin is still very doubtful about Yunxi's teaching and thinks that he may not be able to teach children well. But by letting Yunxi teach, Wenyao can see Yunxi every day, which is very beneficial to Wenyao, so
Baoqin hurriedly agreed.
Bao Qin served Yun Xi at night. Among the concubines, Bao Qin was the one who liked Yun Xi the most in bed. Sometimes Yun Xi thought: "What if the advantages of Xiyao and Bao Qin were combined into one?"
In the evening, it was the same courtyard that Liu Chuan visited yesterday, and the two people who discussed it later yesterday got together again.
The person who came in later yesterday said: "Today I heard from Lian Zining the reason why His Majesty severely dealt with Liu Chuan."
Another person said in a deep voice: "Oh, what's the reason?"
The person who spoke first said: "His Majesty believed that what Liu Chuan said was untrue and suspected of deceiving the emperor, so he dealt with him severely."
Looking through the dim moonlight, he could see that this person was Pan Ren, a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Examination Department.
The man with a deep voice said: "I see. Your Majesty is really heart-breaking."
Pan Ren said bitterly: "Since ancient times, even the saints have said, 'No matter what the deeds are, one does not care about one's heart.' What your majesty did is not the work of a saint. You are really a villain."
The man with a deep voice said: "Didn't we already know that His Majesty is such a person?"
Pan Ren said: "Then what should we do now?"
The man with a deep voice said: "It's strange to say that His Majesty is not very outstanding in what he does, but he can always find a solution. Although he may not be able to solve the problem according to the method he finds, his method is always feasible.
."
"It's as if Your Majesty has seen similar things before. Perhaps when Your Majesty was the grandson of the Emperor, he often went to the private sector and noticed many things."
"So when we do things, we look for things that His Majesty must have never seen before."
"As for other things, let's figure them out slowly."
In Haiyan County, Ningbo Prefecture, Caojiang Province, in a small village near the seaside outside the city, several sturdy middle-aged people gathered together to talk.
One of them said: "Lu Laoer, is your news accurate? Is Shanghu County really going to open sea?"
The man known as Lu Laoer said: "Why is it not accurate? Didn't you hear what others said? If it wasn't to open the sea, why did you fight against pirates in the past few months? There haven't been too many Japanese pirates in the past two years.
'Harassing the people on the beach."
Another person said: "Duan Laosan, the news is accurate, and after the pirates have cleared a batch, they will really start sailing soon. It is said that the magistrate of Shanghu County gave the emperor a discount."
Duan Laosan said: "Since Boss Xiao has said so, I believe it. Tomorrow, I will go to Shanghu County with you to explore the situation."
