Ming Dynasty: 100-year-old Heavenly Master, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Imperial Palace, Wenhua Hall.

Emperor Zhu Biao convened the cabinet and ministers of various ministries for a small court meeting

“Dear friends, I have come to you today to discuss the implementation of the new law.”Zhu Biao said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned and looked strange.

It is usually a routine for a new king to implement new laws when he ascends the throne, but this is different for you. Your father is still alive. Besides, you have only been on the throne for a few days. , just the new law, won’t it save face for you, me?

“At present, the imperial court has four major problems: harsh punishments and harsh laws, excessive taxes and levies by the sect, too many common officials, and too harsh administration by officials. Zhu Biao said in a deep voice,”I am determined to change these four major problems. Dear friends, please speak freely.””

All the ministers raised their heads with the same expression: Your Majesty, are you serious?

Zhu Biao glanced over, knowing the worries in their hearts, and smiled:”If you don’t speak, I will say it myself first. Many clauses in the”Da Ming Code” are to be abolished. Yes, it is too strict, and the harsh laws will only make the ministers and people frightened, and they do not really abide by the rules.”

The ministers still had the same expression, thinking that those cruel laws were set by your father. They are nothing like peeling last trees.

When Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, saw that Zhu Biao was coming, he said:”Your Majesty, what you said is all important. , however, I think that compared with these, there is one more thing that must be done, and that is to abolish the Jinyiwei”

“well said! Zhu

Biao praised, with a firm look on his face,”Use extraordinary methods in extraordinary times. The emperor had to use imperial guards, but I don’t need imperial guards. It is Wu Zetian’s job to use inspectors to monitor hundreds of officials.””

All the ministers are sweating. Is your emperor still here? Are you going to compare him to Wu Zetian? Are you going to heaven?

“Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need to lay off the Jin Yiwei.”Yang Shiqi, a young scholar, said,”Now that the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, foreign vassals must be monitored. The Jin Yiwei can be used to target foreign vassals.”

“Aiqing said yes. Zhu Biao’s eyes lit up,”It is said that the Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang. You see, doesn’t this mean they can come up with a good idea through consultation?” Today, we will discuss these four major issues and come up with a decisive solution.”

The ministers all now understood that the emperor was serious, so they began to speak freely.

710…

In fact, before this, Zhu Biao had discussed it with the Supreme Emperor.

When Zhu Biao was practicing in Tianji Pavilion, he I discussed these issues with Zhu Shizhen on and off.

Zhu Shizhen made some suggestions based on the experience of later generations. Zhu Biao was extremely shocked.

“Don’t be anxious to ensure people’s livelihood when you are sending them justice; the key to ensuring people’s peace is to regulate the administration of officials.”Zhu Biao said,”Discipline is not strictly enforced, laws are not upheld, subordinates are tolerated, and everything is subject to favoritism. Ambiguity is called mediation, and humiliation is called good deeds. Although my father has strict laws, he only uses the word”punishment” and does not resolve the actual issues.”

“Punish and reward, and uphold justice.”Xia Yuanji said

“The people in the Nine Encirclement are diligent in compiling their will; the officials who are careless and arrogant are serious in observing the law. Zhu Biao spread his hands and said,”In this way, officials will be able to do things more efficiently.””

The ministers listened carefully and admired secretly in their hearts. The prince has been in charge of the country for many years and is very clear about the shortcomings of officialdom.

Zhu Biao slowly drank tea, his eyes were clear and he had an imperial demeanor. He continued:

“Appraisal of officials is very important. The Supreme Emperor gave me an idea, called the Examination Method”

“Set the time limit, set up a record book, and cancel it at the end of the month. Those who are late in approving and inspecting will be promoted by the Ministry Yuan; those who are concealed and deceived by the Ministry Yuan will be promoted by the Six Branches; if the Six Branches are not aware of it, they will be promoted by the cabinet ministers. There are exams every month, and there are milestones every year”

“The law must be practiced and words must be effective”

“Thousands of miles away, follow it day and night, like thunder and wind, invincible.”

The ministers finally understood that the new emperor had a big chess game in mind.

So everyone stopped hiding it, otherwise, the new emperor would think they were incompetent and started to make suggestions one after another.

Everyone went through it one by one, and Zhu Biao also Notice that these ministers actually knew the problem, but they didn’t dare to mention it before.

“The rich people have land but no food, and the poor people share the disease. Zhu Biao’s eyes were sharp,”The land tax, corvee and other miscellaneous levies from various states and counties are all combined into one, and the silver tael is collected together, and the payment is converted into per mu. This is called a whip method.””

……

Purple Mountain.

The mountain peaks tower into the clouds, and clouds and mist linger among them, adding a sense of mystery.

Deep in the forest, the trees are towering, with lush branches and leaves, and the sun shines through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadow.

(bThe vigorous leopards are flying across the treetops, the wild boars are foraging in the grass, and the black bears are drinking by the streams.

These beasts seem to feel the nourishment of spiritual energy, and their eyes reveal a kind of wildness and vitality.

“Ouch!”A long roar came.

The beasts deep in the forest began to run wildly, because they knew that the damn human was coming again.

Zhu Gaochi landed in the forest like a cannonball, chasing one of the wild leopards and shouting:”Catch him this time. I’m chasing you, don’t run! Serve as a mount for me.”

It was a Jaguar, covered in golden hair. On top of this golden color, black circles were irregularly distributed, like bright stars in the night sky, and like mysterious runes.

It was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning. Breaking through the sky. When it runs, you can only see a golden shadow traveling through the forest so fast that people can’t catch its traces.

Zhu Gaochi has been watching it for several days, and today he finally got the chance.!

Zhu Gaochi flew in front of the Jaguar.

Roar!

The Jaguar roared

, as if every inch of its skin contained infinite power. A kind of majesty and arrogance of a king

“You are so brave, I will defeat you today.”Zhu Gaochi showed no fear.

He was the first to practice”Ming Wang Jue”, and his physical body was extremely strong. He rushed directly.

One man and one leopard were fighting, but Zhu Gaochi did not use any magic.

Soon, the leopard was stepped on by Zhu Gaochi. :”Just asking you, are you convinced?”

Jaguar can’t howl unwillingly.”

“Still not convinced? Then continue.”Zhu Gaochi let go of his foot.

After a while, Jaguar was stepped on by him again, and there were several bloody marks on his body from the Jaguar’s claws.

“Are you convinced?”Zhu Gaochi’s eyes were even wilder than Jaguar’s.

Jaguar lay on the ground and whined, as if he was convinced again.

Zhu Gaochi laughed wildly, jumped on Jaguar, and shouted:”Let’s go!”

……

There is a circle of houses on the top of Zijin Mountain. This is where the Zhu family lives and practices, but they are all thatched houses.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting cross-legged on the thatched roof practicing

“Ouch!” Zhu Gaochi rode the Jaguar and landed on the top of the mountain in the blink of an eye, shouting to Zhu Yuanzhang,”Grandpa Huang, look, this is my mount.”

Zhu Yuanzhang opened half of his eyes, with a clear flash of surprise:”Jaguar? Yes, this guy is probably faster than Hu Kui. Zhu

Gaochi looked proud:”I don’t know what kind of mount they will find. It will definitely not be as good as mine.””

It turns out that the number of spiritual beasts in the Purple Mountain is increasing, and the Zhu family all want to have their own mounts, so they all went to catch the mounts today.

There are only two Hu Kui, one belongs to Zhu Jiaran, and one belongs to Zhu Yuanzhang. None of them Dare to grab it.

However, Zhu Gaochi was still very satisfied with his Jaguar.

Suddenly, a gust of wind seemed to blow quickly from below, blowing the surrounding trees around and making a rustling sound.

Then, a huge giant python popped up. , its body exudes a suffocating pressure like a winding mountain.

Its body is at least tens of meters long, and its thick body is several times thicker than an adult’s waist. Ink-colored, the scales are closely connected like armor, reflecting the cold light. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“hiss!”

When the Babel Python opened its bloody mouth, its sharp fangs shone with a cold light in the sun, and its huge head seemed to be able to cover the sky.

But Zhu Xiongying stood on top of the Babel Python, with a proud look on his face:”How’s it going? This is my mount.”

Zhu Yuanzhang:”？？？”

Zhu Gaochi:”！！！”[]

What, using the Babel Python as a mount?

“Hahaha, it’s fast, and in a fight, it’s comparable to a golden elixir. Zhu Gaochi laughed,”It is the king of the Purple Mountain Forest.””

Zhu Gaochi looked at the Jaguar he was riding and felt that his Jaguar was not enough for the Babel Python.

“Strong, strong, strong, but stay away. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands speechlessly,”It is poisonous. If it sprays on your brothers and sisters, they will be poisoned.””

“Yes, you can go practice on your own in the future.”Zhu Gaochi waved

“Don’t worry, it is very obedient and will not attack you.”Zhu Gaochi patted the Babel Python on the head.

Zhu Gaochi was puzzled, how did this guy subdue the Babel Python?

It is not difficult to kill the opponent, but subduing it is the most difficult.

……

Uh-huh!

Empress Ma hovered over the hut with her sword and glanced over it:”Hey, everyone, you haven’t been back for more than a month, right?

They are all like savages.” She was right. Zhu Yuanzhang and the others in front of her, Just savages.

Zhu Yuanzhang had messy hair and beard, and was dressed in tattered clothes, but his eyes were shining brightly.

“Mother-in-law, have you brought us food? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,”We are tired of eating game after a month.””

“Just know how to eat! Queen Ma glared,”I’m here to tell you that in two days, the second, third, twelfth, seventeenth and others will be back.””

“It’s just a good time to come back and they all come to Purple Mountain to practice.”Zhu Yuanzhang waved

“They are returning to court victoriously, why don’t you go and see?”Queen Ma glared

“What are you looking at? We are not the emperor now. If you have anything to do, go to the emperor and don’t bother us.”Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand

“The emperor has decreed that you should go back.”Queen Ma said

“I resist the decree, what can he do? Send me back to Fengyang to herd cattle?”Zhu Yuanzhang stared

“Biao’er is undergoing reforms. Don’t you want to know what has been changed? There is a surprise.”Queen Ma blinked

“Change it.”Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and didn’t care at all.

Seeing that he just didn’t want to go back, Empress Ma rolled her eyes, threw the package she was carrying to him, and said,”These are clothes. Can you take them to bathe and change clothes frequently? It all stinks”

“It’s time to take a shower, I feel uncomfortable all over.”Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled.

Just as he was about to say a few more words, Queen Ma left with her sword. Just as Queen Ma left, Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun came. She flew directly here, like a fairy descending to earth.

“Mother concubine.”The three brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui ran over.

Xu Miaoyun frowned when he saw the three savage children:”I really don’t want to recognize you as my sons.”

She also came to deliver clothes and some cakes.

“Where is the father? I haven’t come to practice recently.”Zhu Gaochi asked

“Your father has gone to Mobei.”Xu Miaoyun said

“What? The fourth child went to Mobei? What to do?”Zhu Yuanzhang asked

“Return to my father.”Xu Miaoyun leaned towards Zhu Yuanzhang,”It is said that the Mobei Wara tribe is going to rebel, and your highness is going to put down the rebellion.”

“Even the little Wala dares to make trouble.”Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

He was not worried at all. With Ming’s current strength, he could destroy whoever he wanted.

……

Tianji Tower.

Zhu Biao came to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor

“Grandpa, I have implemented all the suggestions you gave me before.” Zhu Biao said

“Well, it’s time for a new policy. Zhu Shizhen smiled and said,”I believe you will do better than your father in this regard.””

“I am a man of integrity, as long as I don’t make mistakes.”Zhu Biao is very humble.

“Actually, there is something that needs to be changed the most.”Zhu Shizhen spread his hands and said,”That’s the”Huang Ming Ancestors”. Zhu Chongba is so stupid that he wants to rely on this ancestral instruction to determine the person after death? Are you still going to do this to him hundreds of years later? Definitely not. Everything is advancing with the times.”

“ah? Abolish the”Ancestor Instructions of the Emperor Ming Dynasty”? Isn’t this bad?”Zhu Biao blinked.

“What’s wrong? If you are not abolished, the kings who follow you will not change. Zhu Shizhen said,”If you think about it with your toes, there will be things that need to be changed by the time you get there, let alone a hundred thousand years later?” Is his set still suitable? Definitely inappropriate, it will only bring harm”

“This is also true.”Zhu Biao nodded.

“Let me give you an example. Your father asked the clan not to do anything but to eat and drink. Zhu Shizhen was not angry,”In a few hundred years, how many people will there be in the Ming Dynasty clan?” Hundreds of thousands? Or even more, does the imperial court need to bear such huge expenses?”

“is inappropriate.”Zhu Biao’s mind instantly opened up.

He took a sip of tea and decided to abolish the”Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions”》

……

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang finally returned to Qianqing Palace, because his two sons would return to Beijing tomorrow.

After he returned to the palace, the first news he heard was that the emperor had abolished the”Huangming Ancestors”》

“What? What a traitor!”

“I have to beat him to death,”Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions” is my hard work”
