Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty
Chapter 193
Chapter 193
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall in the Forbidden City.
Civil and military officials stood under the jade steps in two rows, and Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair with a pale face.
Among the court halls, Dali Temple Minister Liu Daxia was also among them.
After a year's absence, now that he is standing here again, he feels quite emotional in his heart.
This year, it seems to have returned to the past, but the emperor sitting in front of him has changed his appearance.
Liu Daxia supported Zhu Houzhao's reduction of the vassals, because there were too many vassals in the Ming Empire, and they were a greater threat to Daming than those aristocratic families.
The eunuch in the house came forward with strides and said to the ministers: "My lords, if you have a book, you can play it early, and if you don't have a book, you can roll back the court!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Chu, the Minister of the Household Department holding an ivory arc, walked out of the super class, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and business is booming."
"But once the sea trade was opened, fish and dragons mixed together. In order to protect the stability of Daming City, I thought that foreign merchants should be ordered to enter Daming City. If it is inconvenient, let them live in the post."
After listening, Zhu Houzhao's face was calm, as if he didn't hear Liang Chu's words.
After a long time, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Qi Jingtong, what do you think?"
Qi Jingtong, as the Admiralty of the Navy, patrols the waters of Daming, and has to go back to Beijing to report on his duties every month. Tanggukou is only more than [-] miles away from the capital, and he can arrive there in a day.
In addition to Qi Jingtong, other officials in the frontier also had fixed time to go to Beijing to report on their duties.
Before, Zhu Houzhao issued an imperial decree to Qi Jingtong to open the sea and protect the interests of those businessmen. Today he started to ask in the court again, and Qi Jingtong felt a little hesitant.
Just when he was hesitating in his heart, Zhu Houzhao continued: "Don't hesitate, Ai Qing, tell me what's on your mind."
With Zhu Houzhao's instruction, Qi Jingtong of course dared to speak.
"Returning to Your Majesty, I think that a small vassal country is not worthy of having much trade with Daming. It is good for them to come and go as they please, but Daming has its own laws, so the common people can survive forever."
"Thus, throughout the ages, only words that are indispensable in law and etiquette are also useful externally."
"Anyone who abides by the laws of my Ming Dynasty, does not provoke troubles, and does not break the law, can all be allowed to trade independently."
"In this way, chaos can be avoided, and secondly, His Majesty's reputation can be spread."
"However, for those who commit crimes and challenge the bottom line of the law, we must also not allow them to go unpunished, so that we can achieve the best of both worlds."
Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction after listening.
"Well, Liang Aiqing, is there anything you don't understand?"
Liang Chu cupped his hands and said, "Since this is the case, then I, Ming Dynasty, should still have some areas to improve the law, and we must improve it as soon as possible."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Liang Chu with satisfaction, nodded and said: "Well, I will entrust you to come up with a relevant plan for this matter, and then ask Qi Aiqing to bring it back to the port and post it in various locations."
"Anyone who violates our Daming's criminal laws will be given a higher crime, and their caravans will not be allowed to enter the territory of Daming."
"According to the order!"
Both Liang Chu and Qi Jingtong returned to the imperial court.
Zhu Hou took care of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not change their minds and dared to raise their heads. King Lu Zhu Wencheng was killed, and Qian Ning's adopted son was cut.
However, many people still think that Zhu Wencheng, king of Lu, is to blame, and he can't live a good life as a vassal king, so why did he rebel?
Is righteousness something you can challenge?
What about the Tatar soldiers?How about the Vala soldiers?How about the iron cavalry in Liaodong?Aren't they all overturned by him?
From the perspective of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Emperor Zhengde would sooner or later take action against the vassal kings in order to rule the world, but no one expected that the speed of his actions was unimaginable.
The court that had just quieted down heard someone come up to give a report.
Yang Tinghe, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out, holding an ivory arc, and reported to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, all the disciples of the Ming Dynasty have gathered in the capital. Three days later, the Tribute Academy will be held. Your Majesty is invited to go there in person."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "I already know about this matter, so you won't say anything."
Yang Tinghe retreated like a court class.
In the hall, no one is talking.
Zhu Houzhao waved his sleeves, and the eunuch who was close to him declared loudly: "Retire!"
Civil and military officials withdrew from the court one by one.
Yang Tinghe returned to the Ministry of Rites and gathered all the deputy examiners. From now until three days later, none of them can leave here, including him, Yang Tinghe, and must not have the slightest contact with the outside world.
They ate and lived together in the tribute courtyard, reviewed articles together, and supervised each other.
The imperial examination is a major event for the imperial court, if something goes wrong this time, Yang Tinghe will have to leave here.
There is still one cheating person missing in the prison.
Inside Hulong Villa.
Hou Zhu, the god of iron courage, ignored it with a blank expression.
In the entire hall, he was the only one. Looking carefully, his hands were still trembling slightly.
Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao has already started to attack the vassal kings everywhere. I don't know when it will be his turn?
Will Hulong Villa be affected?
Although he is the uncle of the current emperor, the emperor has been ruthless since ancient times.
King Nalu is Zhu Houzhao's distant cousin. Didn't the emperor also destroy them?The majesty of the Son of Heaven is really too heavy.
Even though he is brave and powerful, he is still afraid.
He was not afraid of the child Zhu Houzhao, but of the imperial power!
Such imperial power!
in Beijing.
Many candidates gathered one by one, reciting poems and making pairs.Especially in the brothels in the capital, the business is booming.
Every year during the imperial examination, not only the hotels in the capital are full of people, but even the brothels are also overcrowded.
There was a man named Tang Bohu, who was in a dissolute manner. When he entered the Gongyuan, he had a woman's handkerchief in his arms. Therefore, the examiner drove Tang Bohu out of the examination room and wrote to the emperor to ban him from the imperial examination for life.
Tang Bohu was going all out anyway, the big deal was that he would not pass the exam this year, and he would take the exam next year, but he continued to return to his residence.
Three days later, the exam begins.
This time everyone was taken aback, because His Majesty was suspicious, so he changed the previous test question, and it was still the previous test question: "Navy".
Many people were not interested in such a topic long after they heard about the imperial court leaking the question, and many people tried their best to think of other ways, but this question made everyone dumbfounded.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to select some talents through this imperial examination. At present, there are too few talents available for him in the imperial court.
However, who would have thought of this topic?
Just like the college entrance examination of later generations, the composition questions that were published last year will continue to be tested this year.
