"My lords want nothing more than rights, one right, one benefit."

Zhu Gaoxuan said calmly, "Using power for personal gain and profit for power, you come and go, officials and officials protect each other, and finally dump all the money from the treasury and the people into your pockets, am I right?"

"The imperial court distributes tens of thousands of taels of silver to each adult every year to support honesty and integrity, and finally raises a group of moths who only eat and don't do anything. Am I right?"

"On the surface, I have read the books of sages and sages, and it seems to be high-sounding, but in fact it is greedy. Am I right?"

The officials present were blushing when he asked.

Who dares to say that he is really innocent?
If you don't take it, if I don't take it, the people above won't be able to take it, and if the people above don't take it, how can we make progress?

Someone couldn't help standing up and asking, "Your Highness, don't you hurt us a bit too much by saying that?"

Zhu Gaoxuan glanced at him, Jiangxi chief envoy Si Zuo participated in politics Wang Ling, who turned out to be a doctor in the Ministry of War and had just been promoted this year.

He lowered his head and glanced at the list: Jiangxi chief envoy, Wang Ling, had participated in the case of Gao Zheng reselling illegal salt...

If you see this, you don't need to read it, it's another prison guard.

He looked at Wang Ling who was speaking, and pondered: "Hurt your mother's head?"

The money was taken, the official was promoted, now I tell you the truth, do you think what I said is too hurtful?

How about some face?
Wang Ling was at a loss for words for a while, and sat slumped on the chair, muttering: "It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman..."

……

Zhu Gaoxuan looked at the crowd and said: "Whether you are greedy or not is the business of Jin Yiwei. As long as you are not afraid of losing your head, you can be greedy as you like."

"Whether you are greedy for money or love for power, I only have one request for you, and that is that you have to do things for me during your tenure."

"If the errand is done well, everyone is happy. If the errand is not done well, and you are greedy for money, I can tell you clearly that this kind of person is the key focus of Jin Yiwei."

"Who am I, who is Lu Chaoyang, who is Shen Qingyu, and who is Zhang Muzhi? You all know very well that once you become the focus of Jin Yiwei, you can just make a good coffin and lie in it with peace of mind. .”

The Jinyiwei under the control of the Eastern Palace is no less deterrent to civil servants than the Jinyiwei in the Hongwu Dynasty.

Jin Yiwei, Tax Supervisory Court, these two names have become the shadow of all officials.

The former wants your life, and the latter wants your money. To be targeted by them is really Shaking his head.

Jin Yiwei's work is for you to find out if you peeked at the widow next door taking a bath when you were a child, but once you enter the gate of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, the possibility of walking out from it is very small.

And the Tax Supervisory Court, after being targeted by him, you don't have to resist, think carefully about how much money you have been greedy, and then list out a tax bill with black tax and white tax.Do everything possible to pay the taxes owed to the country. If you pay the taxes, you will be bankrupt and avoid disasters.If you can’t hand it in, the tax supervisory court will first confiscate your home, and then transfer it to Jinyiwei, a private seat in Fusi, Beizhen.

"I know that you may not agree with what I said, but you can listen patiently."

Zhu Gaoxuan continued, "From now on, the Ming Dynasty will implement the [-]th-class merit system, and the promotion and promotion of official positions will be determined according to political performance. If the political performance is outstanding, it will be promoted, and the court will issue additional money to support honesty according to the political performance. If the political performance is not qualified, then He will be demoted, and a certain amount of share will be deducted from the Lianyang Bank."

"Eighteen-class merit system, when promoted to No.16, Earl of Wen. When promoted to No.17, Marquis of Wen. When promoted to No.19, Duke of Wen. Although this title is not irreplaceable, but It is hereditary."

Someone couldn't help standing up excitedly and asking: "Is what the prince said really true?"

Zhu Gaoxuan replied: "There is absolutely no falsehood."

The [-]th-class merit system is modeled on the [-]th-class military merit system of the Qin Dynasty.

After Shang Yang's reform, it was stipulated that as long as the soldiers of Qin State captured the head of an enemy soldier, they could get the first-level title, one hectare of land, one house, and one servant.

The more heads you get, the higher the title you get. After the battle, the enemy's head is cut off and brought back to the barracks as evidence.

If an ordinary soldier captures the heads of two enemy soldiers on the battlefield, his prisoner's parents can be released immediately.If his wife is a slave, he can also become a commoner.

When you win a battle, you will be promoted to one level for small officials, and three levels for high officials.

Inspired by the [-]th-class military merit system, the soldiers of Daqin screamed excitedly. When they saw the enemy soldiers on the battlefield, it was like seeing their own father. Cut it off and take it back to the barracks.

It's just that in the Han Dynasty, the [-]th-class military merit system no longer lived up to its name.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Jue was added.In the early days, the kings and nobles had meritorious officials who won them, but they were all punished in the time of Gaozu.

If Daqin wants to confer title on you, he is really giving it; if a big man wants to confer title on you, he is really killing you.

So after the Han Dynasty, there was a saying: Don't compare yourself too much, if you compare, I will kill you.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di lightly closed his eyes: "Smelt [Zhu Youxiao]."

[Are you sure to smelt "Zhu Youxiao", after smelting, you can no longer simulate "Zhu Youxiao's life". 】

"confirm."

[The smelting is over, and the random identity simulation fragment of "Zhu Qiqin" has been smelted*1. 】

Zhu Di touched his head, a little uncertain.

Who is Zhu Zhanqin?
In terms of seniority, he should be his great-grandson.

Could it be... King Qi's grandson?

[Choose the simulation, Zhu Qiqin's random identity...]

【The selection is complete. 】

[Simulated object: Zhu Qiqin. 】

[Identity: Liao King and General Tiance. 】

[Time period: Taichang 25 years, June. 】

Zhu Di wanted to take a sip of tea, but couldn't help but spit it out.

God, Admiral Tiance?

Really bro?
General Tiance is above the three lords, second only to the first three divisions of civil officials in name; the Tiance Mansion under the command of General Tiance is the head of military officials and above the Fourteen Guards Mansion.

Admiral Tiance can recruit talents by himself to serve as officials in Tiance's mansion, that is, the so-called Xu Zizhi's subordinates.

Compared with the three masters who are just false titles, General Tiance has real power.

The one who made General Tiance out of the circle was undoubtedly Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

The position of Admiral Tiance is an important bargaining chip for Li Shimin, who is still the king of Qin, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng, especially the power to recruit officials has given him the right to recruit talents.At Fang Xuanling's suggestion, he once recruited Du Yan to Tiance Mansion to prevent him from joining the Prince's camp.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin became the crown prince. At this time, he was no different from the emperor, and he no longer needed the position of a courtier. In the same year, he abolished the Tiance Mansion that helped him win great power.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was the only general in Tiance.Only six people from the Song Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period received this honor in later generations.

Among Zhu Di's children and grandchildren, how could there be... Admiral Tiance?
[Taichang 25th year, June. 】

[You are in the city of Liaoyang in Liaodong, sitting north and looking south, there are hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers under the city, the soldiers are strong and horses, equipped with the most elite weapons, you can be called the tiger and wolf division, you are the commander of Liaodong after the eldest princess . 】

【You are the fourth son of Zhu Zhanyi, the current emperor of Taichang, and the grandson of Zhu Gaoxuan, the ancestor of the former emperor Wu. 】

[Because the eldest princess never married, you were adopted under the eldest princess's family and became the eldest princess' son. 】

【Eldest princess Zhu Yingjing, the eldest daughter of Emperor Shizu Wu, the elder sister of your father, also your aunt.Different from ordinary women, the eldest princess inherited the martial arts of her ancestors. She has a gentle and sweet appearance, but she is naturally warlike and good at using horses. She has asked her ancestors many times to lead the army. The ancestors who love the girl have no choice but to agree. 】

[Facts have proved that the eldest princess is a fierce general no less than General Chang Yuchun. She once led troops to the east and won many battles. She stationed troops in Duogandu Division and Usi Zangdu Division to suppress local forces.Later, he was placed in Liaodong by Shizu, commanded the old army, built ports and Liaodong shipyards, and inherited the fleet left by Zheng He. 】

[It can be said that in the hands of the eldest princess, not only there are more than [-] elite troops, but also the most powerful Liaodong Navy in Ming Dynasty. 】

Zhu Di couldn't hold back this time, and sprayed the tea on the ground.

The eldest princess Zhu Yingjing?

The eldest girl from the fourth family?
He recalled the little girl who liked to roll on the lawn when he went to the East Palace.It's just that at that time, he focused all his attention on Zhu Gaoyi's eldest son, Zhu Zhanyi, and didn't pay much attention to the girl.

But it's the girl he didn't pay attention to who will become a powerful general no less than General Chang Yuchun in the future, commanding an army of more than [-]?

This unscientific!

[Emperor Shizu Wu was still alive, he adopted you to the eldest princess. 】

[This action is naturally meaningful. Although your father was the prince at the time, he also commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and made great military exploits for the establishment of Hengjing Shengshi.But the more than [-] elites in the hands of the eldest princess are not under the control of the prince after all, not to mention that in addition to the Liaodong army, the eldest princess also holds the Liaodong navy. 】

[Eldest Princess never married, which ensures that the Liaodong Army and Liaodong Navy will not be passed on to her son after her death.But this left a hidden danger, that is, after the death of the eldest princess, how to take over her army? 】

【During the Eastern Expedition, the Eldest Princess once carried a banner with one arm. Such a ferocious act is hard to associate with her beautiful face.But this also shows that the eldest princess is in good health. 】

[When Shizu was alive, if the eldest princess died, she could still be included in her old department.But if the ancestor died and the eldest princess was still alive, who should take over her old department? 】

【That's why Shizu adopted you to the eldest princess's family and used you to inherit the eldest princess's military power. 】

【When you were young, you were adopted under the eldest princess's family. Looking at the heroic general in armor, you blushed and shouted: "Mother."】

【The eldest princess is very kind to you. With her intelligence, she can naturally figure out that when Shizu sent you here, he wanted to divide the power from her.But she didn't have a grudge because of this. Instead, she calmly led you to take over power in the army, and entrusted the important tasks of Liaodong to your hands bit by bit. 】

【She regards you as her own son, even though she knows that your purpose of approaching her is not pure. 】

【Time flies, you have spent year after year in Liaodong. From the shy boy at the beginning, with her company, you have grown into a calm Liaodong general. All the soldiers in Liaodong are convinced by you. 】

[The eldest princess looks fierce, but you understand that she is a very simple and gentle girl.When she was in the army, she was the female marshal who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops.In front of Shizu, she is a naughty and lovely daughter.In front of your father, she is a trustworthy big sister. 】

[When she is in front of you, she is a gentle stepmother. 】

[In the 40th year of Hengjing, your grandfather Zhu Gaoxuan passed away.Your father succeeded as Emperor Taichang, and in the same year, you were granted the title of King of Liao. 】

[The eldest princess was deeply saddened by the departure of her ancestor, and died of illness in Liaoyang City in Liaodong the next year. 】

[After the death of the eldest princess, she was given the posthumous posthumous title of "Ning", deserved to enjoy the Taimiao, and was buried with military ceremonies.In the front and rear, there are 40 people from Yu Baodao, Da Ren, Hui Zhuang, Ban Jian, and Tiger Benjia soldiers. 】

[Except for Princess Pingyang Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, she is the only woman whose funeral was held by the army. 】

[Based on the combat achievements made by the eldest princess during her lifetime, this is not too much, and no one raised any objections. 】

【Father gave you the power to record how the princess was recorded in the annals of history. You were silent for a moment, and only wrote a sentence on the paper:】

【"The eldest princess has been in Liao for more than [-] years. She is loyal and loyal, and she swears to the people. She is fierce in front of the battle, conquering the east and fighting hundreds of battles. With more than [-] troops, she is powerful in Liaodong."】

【The eldest princess said to you before she died: "After your mother dies, bury your mother next to the tomb of the late emperor. In this way, after your death, your mother can also fight with the late emperor in Jiuyou."】

[After she died, you begged your father to bury the eldest princess around the ancestor's tomb, and your father agreed. 】

【You personally led [-] Liaodong soldiers to escort the coffin of the eldest princess to Beijing, where she was buried beside the Xianling Mausoleum, fulfilling her last wish. 】

Zhu Di sighed: "The fourth child gave birth to a good girl."

Such a female general is really a hero among women, commanding thousands of troops, opening up territories for her father and brother, making great achievements, and after death, she will also fight for her father under the Nine Netherworld.

If Zhu Di had such a daughter, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep.

It will be recorded in the history books: In the 15th year of Yongle, the emperor died in the Qianqing Palace, and the cause of death was happy death.

[At the beginning of Emperor Taichang's succession, the world was peaceful. During his reign, he was wise and decisive, and made great efforts to govern, sweeping away the hidden dangers left by being too strong after the prosperity of Hengjing. 】

[Following the prosperity of Hengjing, the rule of Taichang will start. 】

[However, in the later years of Emperor Taichang, he did not establish a crown prince for a long time. Even if all the ministers came forward, he did not choose which prince to be the crown prince. 】

【Emperor Taichang had six sons and three daughters. The second son, King Heng, was a great talent. Although the eldest son, King Yu, was not as versatile as his second son in both civil and military affairs, he was not considered a mediocre master either.No matter which one can inherit the great cause, Emperor Taichang seems to be dissatisfied. 】

【Emperor Taichang is now in his last years, but the country has no heir, so there is turmoil. 】

【You don't understand what the emperor father meant by this move. 】

【You know that your father is not a stupid person, there is no reason to do such absurd behavior, could it be that he is really a fool? 】

[And you only want to protect the Liaodong left by the eldest princess, you don't care about the rest, and you ignore the turbulent situation in the world. 】

[Just when you thought that the matter of establishing a reserve had nothing to do with you, Emperor Taichang suddenly made an unexpected move——]

[I make you Tiance Admiral! 】
