My Daming New Empire

If Zhu Zhanji now promotes equality for everyone and equality between men and women, it is not helping them, but harming them.

The most dangerous people who have lost their faith and lost their careful behavior under the rules and restrictions.

Because of ignorance, they have no scruples and cause more damage.

So he can only take advantage of Daming's current affiliation with Nanyang countries to transport grain from Nanyang, and then use these grains to subsidize the people affected by the disaster so that they can survive well.

Only by surviving can there be hope.

But now, someone actually did something to these grains, which he absolutely could not tolerate.

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhanji's face for a while, as if to confirm the authenticity of the news, but he soon woke up and knew that Zhu Zhanji would never talk nonsense about this matter.

He will immediately issue an order to summon all officials to discuss countermeasures.

However, Zhu Zhanji stopped him and advised: "Grandfather, the imperial court has just implemented a new deliberative system, and the military and civil affairs are separated. Now this matter involves the internal prison and the navy. It should be handled directly by the royal family. When it comes to Shandong civil affairs officials, hundreds of officials are allowed to join in."

Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I think it's inappropriate. Because it's the corruption of the internal prison and the army, it should be reviewed by civil officials."

Zhu Zhanji retorted: "How can you ensure that civil officials will not use this to weaken the power of the internal prison and the navy? The separation of civil affairs, military affairs and government affairs is a century-old plan for the long-term stability of my Ming Dynasty. It has only started now. How can it be because of this case? , and back to the original point?"

Zhao Yan asked: "Why does Your Highness take such strict precautions against civil servants? I think that most civil servants can uphold justice."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhao Yan's serious face, but couldn't help laughing, and sighed: "It's not that I don't believe in the justice of civil servants, but I don't believe in human nature.

A newborn child just waits for food. When they are sensible, they will have self-awareness, learn to protect food, and learn to make food by themselves.When they grow up and can eat enough, they will want to have clothes to wear, and when they have clothes, they will think about riding a horse, living in a big house, and marrying a good wife and beautiful concubine.

This stems from everyone's inner dissatisfaction and has nothing to do with right or wrong or justice. Can Mr. Zhao agree with me? "

Zhao Yan nodded and said: "The minister agrees. But because of this, we need to learn the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and restrain ourselves with propriety, integrity, shame, benevolence and morality."

Most of the civil servants in the early Ming Dynasty actually had strong moral sentiments, which was very different from that in the late Ming Dynasty.Because of this, Zhu Zhanji is not afraid that there are no civil servants available, nor is he afraid that civil servants are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the last sentence is too cold.

If it is really the kind of shameless civil servants, Zhu Zhanji has a lot of means to deal with them, but in the face of people like Zhao Yan and Yang Rong, he must first affirm their thoughts and morals, so as to convince them.

He smiled and said: "Let's put aside benevolence, righteousness and morality for now, and only talk about human nature. Human nature is never satisfied, so it needs restraint. This kind of restraint not only requires you to learn the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period to restrain yourself, but also requires the court to establish a strict system to restrain , so that there are various laws.

Confucianism and Legalism, these are the two most respected schools in the history of our civilization for thousands of years, and they are closely related. No one can deny their complementary relationship. "

Yang Rong and Zhao Yan also nodded, approving Zhu Zhanji's words.

Zhu Zhanji also said: "The implementation of the rules of procedure is a limit to the chaotic quarrels of the current court, and it also briefly delineates the responsibilities that the court ministries should bear. The reason why civil servants are not allowed to join is not just because they don't trust civil servants." Rather, it is to establish a clearer system of power and responsibility for the imperial court.

The importance of this point far exceeds the importance of this case.Because this case is only temporary, and it can cure the disease, but a fair system will affect the next few hundred years. "

Only then did Zhao Rong bow and salute, "Your Highness is wise."

Even though he said this, his expression was inevitably a little depressed. Zhu Zhanji's precautions made him clearly feel his distrust of civil servants.

Zhu Zhanji added: "Of course, with the gradual improvement of the system, there will be a special agency to supervise the court affairs in an all-round way in the future, but it must not be the ministers of the current court."

Only then did Zhao Rong understand, and asked, "Your Highness, will the ministries have greater autonomy in the future? And the role of the council will become greater and greater?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled, but did not answer, but said: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future!"

Zhao Yan looked at Zhu Zhanji's still young face, and there was a huge wave in his heart.Who the hell said that His Highness is ignorant!

With such a broad mind and broad vision, even an old official like himself would not dare to be careless in dealing with it.

However, the prince who was promoted to the sky by a group of civil servants was just a Jinshi talent, not much different from ordinary Guozijian scholars.

Can he compare with this old grandson who doesn't look like a young man at all?cannot!

It's no wonder that His Majesty has a lot of trust in this great-grandson, allowing him to do whatever he wants, this is the real Mingjun of the generation!

Although Zhu Zhanji didn't answer him directly, he had already drawn up a general framework for the future in his mind, letting him know what direction the future should develop in.

At this time, he bowed sincerely and said: "I have been taught!"

However, Yang Rong was not surprised at all. In the two years he had been called the grandson, he had already seen the firm character and endless views of the grandson.

Although many of his opinions are crooked, it cannot be denied that although these opinions deviate from the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, they cannot be said to be wrong.

If it weren't for the fact that the grandson's theoretical knowledge is still a little weak, he has no doubt that he can create a new discipline.

For this reason, he resigned automatically after only two years as an instructor.

Because there is no way to teach each other.

Another reason is that he can't win in this competition, Xie Jin, who has taught his grandson since he was a child, and is more famous and knowledgeable than him.

Although there can be many emperor teachers, only one is the recognized emperor teacher.

Xie Jin has already occupied this position, so he can only take the next best thing and develop well in the cabinet.

Zhu Di laughed at this time and said: "Zhao Aiqing doesn't need to support him. This kid is lawless. In the future, he will need ministers like you and Yang Aiqing to assist him attentively. Come to the table!"

Zhu Di was concerned just now, but when he saw that Zhu Zhanji was still thinking about arguing with Zhao Yan, he understood that Zhu Zhanji must have made arrangements, so he was not in a hurry at this time.

After everyone was seated, the waiters quickly brought out all kinds of delicacies, nine dishes and one soup were placed in front of everyone.

When the monarch and his ministers get along, they pay attention to eating without talking. They finished eating quickly and rinsed their mouths. Then Zhu Di asked Zhu Zhanji's countermeasures again.

Zhu Zhanji had asked the Lijian to detain Ma Qi, asked the Navy to escort Jin Yiwei and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to investigate the case, and was about to investigate the Navy, which made Zhu Di nodded.

The only thing he added was to convey the order to the internal supervisors and supervisors at all levels in Shandong, so that the supervisors at all levels can control the army well, so that if some generals are involved in this case, they will jump over the wall in a hurry and die together.

And through him to issue an order to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it also made it more natural for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to send people.

After handling all these matters, Zhu Zhanji and Zhao Yan deepened their understanding through discussions on various links.

This is also the purpose of Zhu Di calling Zhu Zhanji today. He wants to stay and supervise the country. People in the position of Yin Tianfu must establish sufficient understanding and contact with Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji can think of this, of course Zhu Di can't think of it.

Only Zhao Yan was a little surprised, and some didn't understand why Zhu Di let himself get close to Zhu Zhanji without any hesitation.

As a close minister, Yang Rong had already guessed Zhu Di's plan.

Conquering the Timur Kingdom in the west is no better than conquering Mengyuan in the north, and conquering Mengyuan in the north. Except for things, the army can return to the country in at most two or three months.

This trip lasted for a few years, so Zhu Di was absolutely worried about Zhu Gaochi's supervision of the country, and insisted on waiting for the grandson to return to the country before going to the west.

Otherwise, when the grandson is in the Western Regions, the emperor will let the prince supervise the country, and he will lead the army to join the grandson. Wouldn't it be more powerful!

However, even if he guessed that Zhu Di would do this, Yang Rong would never say anything.

He was destined to go west with Zhu Di, and no matter who supervised the country, it would have no effect on him.
