Chapter 221 A Fair Lady, A Gentleman Is Good

At the beginning of November, Zhu Youning's army finally returned to Bianzhou.

As soon as he arrived in Bianzhou, Zhu Youning ordered a celebration banquet to be held.

Not only to celebrate the victory of the Northern Expedition to the Jin State, but also to celebrate the surrender of Qin Guogong Li Maozhen.

At the celebration banquet, the sound of the flute was melodious, the sound of the strings was rapid, and the clothes fluttered.

Many dancers in red dresses are graceful and graceful in the hall with festive smiles on their faces.

But at this time the emperor Zhu Youning, who was watching the singing and dancing in the upper position, didn't care about it.

The empress who was sitting not far below was also lacking in interest.

This is of course normal.

In the eyes of outsiders, the empress is Li Maozhen, a hero of the world.

But in fact, she is a woman.

Unless there is a problem with her gender orientation, she must not be interested in these dancers.

"Qin Guogong is benevolent, wise and righteous, but he has saved a lot of effort for the court!"

Hearing Zhu Youning's words, the Empress immediately clasped her fists together: "I am ashamed and dare not take it upon myself."

Zhu Youning just started talking, and only now did he reveal his real purpose.

"Qin Guogong is familiar with the government affairs of Fengxiang and other places, so he should report the population and household registration to the court in another day."

The empress immediately clasped her fists and said, "It's a matter of my duty."

Zhu Youning paused, and then said: "Does Duke Qin have the ambition to become an official in the court?"

"Your Majesty has an order, dare not obey it, it's just..."

The empress paused for a while before she said: "It's just that if I become an official in the court, I'm afraid my sister will not be able to enter the palace. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so you must know a lot."

The Empress is not stupid.

She actually underestimated Zhu Youning before.

But after discovering that Zhu Youning had the strength to defeat Yuan Tiangang, the Empress realized how terrible Zhu Youning was.

Such a terrifying person, it is logically impossible not to know the fact that the empress is the king of Qi, and the king of Qi is the empress.

Even the empress had an idea.

That was when in Qingzhou, Zhu Youning deliberately proposed to exchange potatoes with a marriage contract.

Seeing how the empress was thinking, Zhu Youning said: "Your sister's matter is not urgent, you can put it on hold for now, or let Xue'er enter the palace in the name of King Qi's sister-in-law. After all, the implementation of government affairs in the Fengxiang states may require the support of Qin Guogong." .”

When the Empress heard this, she couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Did Your Majesty already know the identity of the minister?"

Zhu Youning smiled slightly and said, "What do you think?"

Looking at Zhu Youning's smile, the Empress suddenly felt that she had been cheated.

Zhu Youning looked at the empress's expression, paused, and said, "My fair lady, gentlemen are good-natured, it's human nature."

"Then why is Your Majesty willing to shelve that matter now?"

"In the end, it's the state that matters."

Two days later, the empress finally listed the population and household registration of the in-service officials in the counties and counties of the original Qi State into a book and handed it over to the court.

With these things in place, reform can begin.

Zhu Youning discussed with Han Yanhui, Jing Xiang, Yu Jing and other ministers again and again, and finally agreed on some strategies.

For example, reforming the imperial examination system, reforming the military ban system, building a newspaper office, rectifying the Taixue Tai Hospital, promulgating the Military Weapons Supervision Law, developing farmland and water conservancy construction, advocating the eradication of Buddha, recasting new coins, and so on.

Of course, one of the most shocking strategies is Yu Jing's campaign to eradicate Buddhism.

When Yu Jing made this suggestion, Zhu Youning was shocked at first.

But after listening to Yu Jing's detailed talk, he felt that it was very necessary to exterminate the Buddha.

Since the end of Tang Dynasty, wars have occurred frequently and people have been displaced, but there are more and more Buddhist temples.

Most of the common people pin their stability on the Buddha, Bodhisattva and other gods, and they destroy copper coins privately to make Buddha statues.

This leads to the stagnation of the economy.

In addition, there are a lot of monasteries in the world today, and there are also a lot of people who enter the monasteries to become monks.

And with so many monks, these temples can really afford to support them.

Because there are many local tyrants, in order to protect the peace of mind, they donate the goods they usually get to monks and nuns.

Even Liang Guo's officials have something to do with Buddha.

For example, the Zhaoyi Chen family of Zhu Wen, after losing his luster and being neglected, decided to become a nun and live in a Buddhist temple in Songzhou.

The Chen family is Zhaoyi, a Zhaoyi wants to become a nun, and the Buddhist temple that accepts her cannot possibly be shabby.

Even if you are shabby, you can spend money to make you luxurious
In short, there are more and more people in the temple now.

This, in part, has led to a decline in the workforce.

After hearing Yu Jing's words, Zhu Youning immediately felt very reasonable.

It is very necessary to liberate the redundant labor force from the monastery.

The most intuitive role is to promote agricultural production and increase food production.

Moreover, the imperial court was newly established, and now it is the end of the year, and it is time to change the year name in the second year.

Of course, while changing the year number, new coins need to be recast.

So where do the raw materials for recasting new coins come from?

Of course it is from the Buddha statue!

Therefore, Zhu Youning agreed to Yu Jing's suggestion.

It's just that "destroying Buddha" is too much, Zhu Youning only intends to "suppress Buddha".

To put it simply, it is enough to liberate the redundant labor in the temple.

In addition, in addition to suppressing the Buddha, Zhu Youning also wanted to help the Tao.

The Taoist Heavenly Master's Mansion is very famous in the south. Supporting Taoism is conducive to stabilizing the south, and can even help when the imperial court captures the land of Wu and Chu.

After wishing to suppress the Buddha and help the Tao, Zhu Youning immediately summoned his adopted son Zhang Zifan in the palace.

Not long ago, Zhang Zifan made great achievements in resisting Zhu Youqian's army, and has now been promoted to the post of commander of the Feihuo Army.

The so-called Flying Fire Army is a new artillery unit specially built by Zhu Youning.

After Zhang Zifan entered the hall, he knelt down and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

"No gift."

Zhu Youning responded softly, and quickly said again: "Fan'er, I want to focus on supporting the Tianshi Mansion. You write a letter back to Xuanwu Mountain, and let Xu Zhenren come to Bianzhou to accept the canonization on behalf of the Tianshi Mansion."

Of course Zhang Zifan was very happy when he heard this.

He said excitedly: "I will write a letter and send it back to Xuanwu Mountain."

"Yes." Zhu Youning nodded slightly, and said: "Of course I will send an envoy to formally issue the order, but I am afraid that the Heavenly Master's Mansion is indifferent to fame and fortune. If you have your letter, Master Xu will obey."

mid-November.

At the court meeting, Zhu Youning announced the reforms to be made to the courtiers, and encouraged them to work hard for Daliang's future.

Just at this time, the messenger conveyed the news from the south to Bianzhou.

Niu Zhiye, the Jiedu envoy of the Taining Army, with the help of Yang Yan and Yang Miao, the judge of water and fire, successfully broke through Jiangdu with [-] elite soldiers and wiped out the rebellious Xu Zhixun.

But it is a pity that Xu Zhixun seemed to go crazy before he died, and even set fire to the palace in Jiangdu.Wu Wang Yang Pu failed to escape the flames and died unfortunately.

For this news, Liang Guojun and his ministers were very happy.

A tacit idea suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

Jing Xiang dared to be the first to express this idea first.

"Your Majesty, since the old land of Wu State has been conquered, there is no reason to return it to Wu State. It should be included in our Daliang territory."

Zhu Youning naturally thought so too, but there was one person who had to be ignored.

"What about Prince Wu's son, Yang Lian?"

Jingxiang said: "You can make him the Duke of the state, and he will not be replaced by hereditary, so as to show the kindness of the great Liang."

"can."
