The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Soon, Yan Chengjin came to the hall quickly and stood beside Li Dongyang.

The cabinet ministers and the six ministers looked at him slightly.

Yan Chengjin knew that there was no need to say more. His Majesty already knew the situation in Wenhua Hall. It seemed that it was time to tell his own plan.

Emperor Hongzhi could conclude: "If this continues, I am afraid that the princes will return empty-handed. Human nature is already hardened. It is so difficult to make them abandon evil and become good."

Liu Jian nodded slightly. The saint said that human nature is good at the beginning.

But the princes' nature is already hardened. Talking to them about the Great Ming Law and the Imperial Ming Ancestor's Instructions is like talking to a chicken with a duck.

For a while, Li Dongyang and others bowed their heads and thought hard.

"Your Majesty, I do have a plan, but I wonder..."

Emperor Hongzhi interrupted Yan Chengjin before he finished: "Speak! Stop being so euphemistic."

Yan Chengjin said: "To ensure that the princes learn something, the plan must not be leaked.

Before speaking, please sign a confidentiality document. The cabinet will not need it."

In the court, there were only the cabinet and the six ministries.

Ma Wensheng felt offended: "Yan Chengjin! It's fine if you don't say it, but you also want me to sign a document?!"

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. After a while, the six ministries signed the document obediently.

Then, it was handed to Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Majesty, why don't you demote the nine princes to refugees and exile them to good places? Only those who pass the assessment can return to their fiefdoms."

"This, turning the princes into refugees, you can think of it. Refugees are so vulgar that if they are beaten to death..." Liu Jian knew that he had said too much, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Beat him to death...

"I don't think it's possible. This move is totally unsystematic!" Xie Qian said.

Fortunately, everyone signed a confidentiality agreement.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Dongyang said, "I think it's feasible."

"Mr. Li?"

"Binzhi, you can't be partial to this boy just because he is your student!"

Liu Jian and others exclaimed, unexpectedly Li Dongyang turned against him.

Yan Chengjin was also a little surprised, but Li Dongyang was definitely not because of him.

Facing the doubts of the officials, Li Dongyang was not in a hurry: "In the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Gao repeatedly ordered the princes to be frugal, but Zhou Wang Zhu Su didn't think so.

It wasn't until Zhou Wang saw the people looking for grass roots and suffering everywhere that he realized the suffering of the people, so he changed his mind, tasted all kinds of herbs, and wrote "Pocket Prescriptions".

Your Majesty, if you are not a citizen, you don't know the suffering of the people!"

Zhu Su is Zhu Di's younger brother, born of the same mother.

The medical skills he wrote have made great contributions to later generations and can be called the Shennong of the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is impossible for everyone to become Zhu Su, it is true that these princes do not know the sufferings of refugees.

Yan Chengjin looked at Emperor Hongzhi. With Li Dongyang's support, it depends on how your majesty decides.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes became firm and said, "I have been thinking about why I am so far away from the princes of the same lineage. After listening to Master Li's words, I finally know. Let's pass the order!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Rong is a playboy by nature. He beats people when he is not happy. What if he doesn't go?"

"Do you still need me to teach you!"

Xiao Jing hurried to do it and went to the Tenth Prince's Mansion to announce the order in person.

The Ninth Prince heard the order and was demoted to a refugee? There is a huge difference between commoners and refugees. Commoners still have household registration, while refugees don't even have household registration.

Your Majesty is crazy!

The princes clamored to see the emperor to see which dog official's advice was!

"Eunuch Xiao, you dare to pass on the imperial edict, this imperial edict must be fake, I won't go!"

"I want to go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager!"

"Bring the knife! I will kill you, you dog eunuch!" Rong Wang Zhu Youshu drew his knife and dared to stab Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing was quick-witted and dodged, and quickly snatched Zhu Youshu's knife.

Zhu Chenhao was calm: "May I ask Eunuch Xiao, how is the great plan of the vassal king evaluated?"

"Maybe it is reading the Ming law, maybe it is sympathizing with the people, maybe it is knowledgeable about the past and the present, I don't know.

However, Yan... The court only set up one top-level quota, which can be rewarded by His Majesty. It depends on the vassal kings who can get it."

This was formulated by Yan Chengjin, and Xiao Jing didn't dare to say it.

He looked at Zhu Youlu again: "Xing Wang, His Majesty said that if you are rated first, you will be allowed to change your fiefdom to Jiangnan."

Zhu Youlu's heart moved slightly.

Nine carriages appeared in front of the prince's mansion.

The next morning, nine princes of the Ten Princes' Palace disappeared out of thin air. The officials were quite surprised to see that the princes did not enter the palace to listen to the lectures.

Wu Kuan looked at Yan Chengjin: "Where are the nine princes? Where did they go?"

"I don't know."

Yan Chengjin secretly admired the speed of the Jinyiwei. It depends on whether King Ning can hold back.

If he can't help colluding with the ministers in the court, it will be just right for the Duke of Ying to send troops south.

At this time, Liangxiang.

Zhu Chenhao was wearing tattered clothes.

Even if he was prepared, he saw that the dilapidated house was full of dust and mud.

There was a tattered piece of clothing hanging on the wall, and there was not even a straw mat, let alone pots and pans.

There was a hole in the thatch on the roof, and a ray of sunlight shone in from the hole.

"Zhu Youtang! You actually let me sleep in such a place. When I become the emperor, then..." Zhu Chenhao cursed in his heart.

He had to be patient, and if he got the first-class evaluation, he could ask His Majesty for military power on the grounds of fighting against Japanese pirates.

But among all the princes, Prince Xing and Prince Yi were most likely to win the first class.

He walked to the firewood pile outside the house, picked up a bunch of straw, turned back to the house and spread it out.

"Are you a newly moved refugee?"

Zhu Chenhao turned around and saw an old man with a red face and kind eyes staring at him.

"This king... I will be fleeing from the south of the Yangtze River in the next season. Will my fellow villagers have food to eat at home?"

There were no pots and pans in the house, let alone rice. When he reached Liangxiang, he was already so hungry that his eyes were dizzy.

Old Man Cao nodded repeatedly and smiled: "Yes, I will get it for you."

Not long after, he brought Zhu Chenhao a piece of corn, which he had just cooked in the morning and kept for lunch.

Zhu Chenhao couldn't help showing a look of disgust and had no appetite at all.

When he lived in Jiangnan, he had to eat thirty dishes in one meal and only taste one bite of each dish.

I saw that the corn was old and dirty.

Old man Cao's name is Cao Qi. He is one of the first refugees to move to Liangxiang. He has a son and a daughter, and the son is married.

Recently he wanted to marry his daughter, but he had gone to elementary school when he was young and had certain requirements for his son-in-law, which he generally looked down upon.

From then on he grew up to be a scholar, like a knowledgeable scholar.

Although he was dressed in rags, he fell in love with her immediately.

"You don't want to eat? It's almost winter, the weather is cold, there's nothing in your stomach, and your body can't bear the torment. Take it quickly, I won't take your money."

Old Cao stuffed it into Zhu Chenhao's chest.

"..." Zhu Chenhao was angry.

He wanted to order someone to beat the old man thirty times, to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and to sleep on a silk and jade couch.

But he could only endure it, someone must be spying on me secretly.

Zhu Chenhao walked into the house, closed the door, and wanted to be alone.

But it's useless, the door is like a grille, you can see in when you stand at the door.

Zhu Youqi was dumbfounded and looked at the dilapidated thatched house with wonderment.

There is a dark door panel under the window, and there is nothing else. Is this a place where people can live?

No matter what the big plans are!

If the king of this fiefdom is not replaced, does your majesty dare to kill me?

He took a deep breath and thought to himself: "I'm afraid no one can endure it better than me!"

Thinking of this, he walked in.
