First Prince of Ming Dynasty

There are many sects of Tibetan Buddhism. In addition to the Padrup Kagyu Sect, which controls the local government in Wusi Tibet, there are also the Karma Kagyu Sect, which has influence throughout Sichuan, Kham, and U-Tsang, as well as the Sakya Sect and the Sakya Sect that have not yet risen. The Gelug sect, etc., all have a wide range of believers and strength.

To be honest, Zhu Biao is not too clear about the relationship between them and the contradictions between their teachings, but it doesn't matter, lamas are still human beings, they are not Buddhas, so they have all the weaknesses of human nature, and that's enough.

In the end, Nangaba Zangbu also asked to meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty once. Zhu Biao just said that he would pass it on. As for whether Lao Zhu will meet him or not, it is not certain. After all, his father did not have a good sense of religion, so I don’t know if it is. Because I didn't live well in Huangjue Temple back then.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites will be responsible for the rest of the matter, and Zhu Biao personally interviewed him to show his attitude. Most of the forces between Daming and Wu Sizang did not have any conflicts.

After Zhu Biao had finished meeting the old lama, the morning court was down, and all the officials, civil and military, were coming out of Fengtian Hall, their footsteps were a little hurried, and it was interesting to watch their expressions. Some people were happy while others were worried. So many of the six books were taken down. People, naturally there are a lot of vacancies, and they are all fat.

Zhu Biao walked straight towards the Jinshen Hall, and after the announcement, he went in to meet his father. Old Zhu was so busy that he didn't have time to raise his eyes. The more officials he killed, the more government affairs he left behind. Don't worry about the newly appointed officials, so many government affairs can only be handled by themselves.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao naturally stepped forward to pick up a stack of memorials, and sat on the table and chairs on the other side. The eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly prepared his pen and ink. Zhu Biao breathed out and began to review. It is about the operation of state affairs, but it is not difficult to say, after all, it is really boring to do it every day.

Centralization of power has reached this point, for example, officials have to ask for instructions if there is any disturbance, and they will never dare to make decisions without authorization. Even if the situation is urgent and they have to deal with it independently, they will report it in detail afterwards. In fact, most of the memorials are like this. .

Time passed little by little, and there was only the rustling of paper flipping and ink scratching in Jinshen Hall, and the servants serving in the hall seemed like a pillar, standing silently aside except for pouring tea for ice cream.

After more than an hour, Zhu Biao put the pen on the inkstone and rubbed his sore wrist: "Father, Nangaba Zangbu wants to see you."

Lao Zhu also put down his pen and rested on his chair and said casually: "I see, we don't have that much free time, no matter if we are monks, lamas or Taoists, they are all the same kind of stuff, most of them are dedicated to themselves, and they only want to become Buddhas and Taoists. It is of no benefit to the country or the family, if you want to waste money with them, it is better to kill a few more corrupt officials."

Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously, and then asked about the situation of the imperial envoys who went on inspections. Although it was only a short time ago, they should have gone through several counties and counties. I don't know how effective they are.

Naturally, this kind of news about imperial envoys will not pass through the Zhongshu Province. In the past, it was delivered by the pro-military Duwei's Mansion, but now it is the special responsibility of the Tongzheng Envoy, and it is directly delivered to the imperial court. Although the Tongzheng Envoy Chen Youzong is Zhu Biao's person, But he would never inquire about such things without authorization.

Lao Zhu turned cold when he talked about this matter: "It's very bad. They have found many problems around the capital. Corruption, bribery and misappropriation of public funds are common trivial matters. Conniving slaves to cover up evil people and oppress good people Buying, selling, and even trafficking in people, under our noses, let alone other places where the sky is high and the emperor is far away."

Zhu Biao was not surprised when he heard the words. This was all expected. If it were not the case, how could Zhu Yuanzhang launch a wave of cleaning up officials in this not-so-good time period? The situation of corruption is intensifying.

It has been four years since the founding of the country, and the uprisings of the people in remote places are still in an endless stream. Although they are just minor disturbances, a single spark can start a prairie fire. If this situation is not contained, once a large-scale natural disaster occurs, the people will have nowhere to go If life and grievances are added, it is not impossible for dragons and snakes to turn upside down. The size of the people of Ming Dynasty is not comparable to that of Goryeo.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "This year's various scientific examinations will be advanced, and the court will be supplemented by recruiting more talents. The old guy Song Lian has run away. You can choose who to be the chief examiner, or you can come."

Zhu Biao hastily shook his head and refused, the purge of officials has already begun, and these dogs must be added to the local government after passing the exam. They are not young, and the atmosphere they have accepted since childhood is the same old style, even if Zhu Biao begged them not to be greedy. Useful, nature is hard to change, according to his prediction, the promotion of Jinshi in the past few years will not have a very good development.

It is estimated that one of a hundred people can live to two years later. It is not only their personal problem, but also the general environment. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is not trying to punish corrupt officials, but to change the atmosphere. If his anti-corruption is simple It would be wrong for Cheng to retaliate wantonly because of his bad childhood.

Who doesn't know the truth that if the water is clear, there will be no fishmen, and when the people are observing, there will be no disciples. Lao Zhu's background is low, but after years of study, his cultural level is not low. He can go from begging on alms bowl to sitting on the world. Understand?

As early as the second year of Hongwu's edict, it was very clear that if the evils of corruption are not reformed, good governance will never be achieved. It's not that they don't want to simmer slowly, it's that the atmosphere left by the Yuan Dynasty is too bad. Although they have been beaten back to the grassland, the poison of corruption is still spreading.

The corrupt grassroots officials of the Yuan Dynasty have now transformed into grassroots officials of the Ming Dynasty. They still take advantage of all kinds of loopholes to make money. Even the magistrates sent by Zhu Yuanzhang have been tied up and beaten by local officials.

From the first year of Wu to the present, more than 40,000 military households have fled from all over the country, and peasants, large and small, have rioted more than 300 times. Ignore it, and the end of the peasant regime's short life and collapse will not be far away.

The land of China, which was finally unified by the whole world, is very likely to fall into a new round of scrambling for the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang has predicted it, so he will take the ruthless hand, and he will not hesitate to eradicate this poison.

Before the founding of the country, Zhu Biao didn't think about persuading his father more in the future, thinking that he would do less slaughter, so as to save him a reputation of being cruel and harsh in history, but faced with various problems after the founding of the country, he I also understand that if the leaky officialdom atmosphere of the Yuan Dynasty is not eliminated, Da Ming will not be able to talk about the national fortune of more than two hundred years.
