Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 467 Abolition of the Sacrifice System

After the ceremony, the busiest thing is the Ministry of Rites. They have to prepare for Wang Guangyang's granddaughter.

In the Qianqing Palace, Wang Hanyan was sitting beside the emperor, her face was reddish. After entering the palace, she was the emperor's woman.

She waited quietly, and her grandfather told her that with the emperor's heart, the Wang family could flourish.

Zhu Biao glanced at her, then lowered his head and prepared to abolish the regulations on the sacrificial burial system. By the way, he considered the strategy of abolishing the prime minister system, and also named a few heroes for his new dynasty.

At one o'clock, Zhu Biao was busy revising the memorial. This year, Yangzhou wanted [-] catties of chili seeds, [-] catties of corn kernels, and [-] catties of sweet potatoes.

The north also needs it, especially potatoes.Zhu Biao added a sentence to the memorandum to the northern prefectures, and the potato cubes can be properly dipped in some plant ash.

At the second watch, Zhu Biao was playing with his sand table there.

At the third watch, take a bath until the fourth watch.

When it was about to go to the morning court, Zhu Biao ordered the maids to wait for the dressing.

Wang Hanyan just sat in the Qianqing Palace all night, and fell asleep in the Qianqing Palace at dawn.

The Fengtian gate was opened, and all the officials entered the main hall one by one, divided into two rows.

Zhu Biao looked over the imperial steps and said with a smile: "Wang Xiang, you have a good granddaughter."

All the officials looked at Wang Guangyang one after another, and heard that his granddaughter had been made a noble concubine.

Because of Zhu Biao's words about being a good granddaughter, Wang Guangyang thought a lot about it, but he just thought that his granddaughter served the emperor very well.

"Cheng Gang."

"The minister is here." The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Cheng Gang, came out.

"I will give you a thousand taels of silver and a hundred bolts of brocade."

Everyone knows that this is the daughter of the Cheng family and the Wang family who was selected and received a reward.

Seeing the whispers among the ministers, Zhu Biao signaled Yuan Bao to proclaim the decree: "Following the heavens to carry the emperor, the imperial edict said: Although burial is an ancestor's ritual law, but God has the virtue of good life, I should obey the will of heaven, keep the hearts of the people, and abolish burial. In April of the first year of Tianyan."

Without waiting for everyone's objection, Zhu Biao ordered someone to bring Qian Boran, who participated in the political affairs of Zhongshu Province, to the hall.

"Qian Boran spread rumors and made troubles, slandered me as a usurper, made filthy words, Zhongshu saved such a scum, it is the disaster of Ming Dynasty. What do you think should be done?"

Prince Taishi Du Dongting said: "Your Majesty, I believe that such unscrupulous people spread rumors with ulterior motives and go to jail, and we will never tolerate them."

"My minister agrees."

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it."

Qian Boran was dragged down disheveled, and those who wanted to say abolish the sacrificial burial system did not dare to say anything.

Zhu Biao said: "Wang Guangyang, what should we do with Qian Boran? What do you think of the abolition of the sacrificial burial system?"

"This minister thinks that Qian Boran disturbs the hearts of the people, has ulterior motives, and slanders His Majesty, which is an unforgivable crime."

Regarding the sacrificial burial system, Wang Guangyang can't say much for a while. If he opposes the abolition of the sacrificial burial system, if the new emperor dies and his granddaughter has no heirs, wouldn't it be inevitable that he would have to be buried.

He can't ruin the Wang family's chance of prosperity.

"It is His Majesty's kindness to abolish the burial."

Cheng Gang also said: "I also think it should be abolished."

Wang Guangyang is the prime minister, and he belongs to the big brother among the civil servants. He doesn't object.

"In this case, I will listen to you."

Zhu Biao ordered Zhang Jia, Shufang and others who spread the rumors to be investigated and prosecuted.

Order Gao Qi and the others to quickly write the biographies of military generals.

Write Lao Zhu first, both the emperor and the first general, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Tang He, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, Fu Youde, Geng Bingwen, Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng.
Because in July and August of the first year of Tianyan, there will be a second voyage, and with the experience of the first time, it will be much better to go to sea.

Some officials also proposed to celebrate the new dynasty and amnesty the world.

"Your Majesty ascended the throne, canonized the crown prince and empress, yesterday was another happy event, and the world can be pardoned."

But Zhu Biao was unwilling. In the past few years, all the corrupt officials and murderers were arrested. It would be bad if they were released. They could not be amnesty at will, but could use other methods.

After the court, Zhu Biao was still thinking about it.

As soon as they arrived at Qianqing Palace, they saw Xia Yuanji and Zhu Yunchi walking towards the East Palace together.

"Yuanji."

"Your Majesty." Xia Yuanji stepped forward.

"Royal Father." Zhu Yunchi said.

"Yuanji, I'm in charge of the meal today, you go with me." After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he took Xia Yuanji away.

Zhu Yunchi was in a hurry: "Father, what should I do with my son?"

"Of course I go back to your East Palace to eat." Zhu Biao said.

Back at Qianqing Palace, Xia Yuanji saw a woman a few years older than him, sitting there respectfully.

"Xia Yuanji has met Empress Defei."

Wang Hanyan was a little afraid of Zhu Biao, so he just nodded to Xia Yuanji.

"I asked the queen to arrange a bedroom for you." Zhu Biao muttered to Yuan Bao and asked him to leave with Wang Hanyan.

"Your Majesty, where should we go for dinner?" Xia Yuanji said with a smile.

Zhu Biao's face was full of black lines: "Yuanji, I think you are too picky."

Xia Yuanji took the account book and went to the Ming Commerce Bureau to work.

Although Xia Yuanji was young, he was taught by Zhu Biao to be better than Mr. Accountant.

"Do you know, where is your palm print?" Zhu Biao asked while eating.

"The cabinet next to the bronze mirror, you know the mechanism."

The palm print is her certificate of managing those shops, Zhu Biao integrated all the resources of the shops under her name, and became the royal shop of Daming.

"Let those shopkeepers hold discounts in rice stores, grain stores, wine shops, cloth yards, weaving bureaus, catering, etc., to celebrate the new dynasty. I will let Zhou Baoge speed up the printing of coupons and distribute them to civil and military officials and ordinary people."

"Is there a discount on hot and sour noodles?" she asked.

Zhu Biao nodded, who said that there is only one way to celebrate the world, and you can still buy, buy, buy.

Stimulate consumption and earn a wave of money from hundreds of officials.

However, in order to avoid disturbing the Daming market, Zhu Biao only allowed the event to be held for three days, with discounts on drinks and rice noodles, but the purchase was limited per person.

Zhu Biao took her palm print and left.

After leaving the Jingming Palace, Zhu Biao said: "Tang Xian, gather the maids and servants in the palace to make coupons for the royal shops and stamp them with their palms."

"Yes. Your Majesty." Tang Xian said with doubts in the second half of the sentence: "Every time Your Majesty comes to Jingming Palace, he is very casual."

"When people are tired, there is only home to relax. For Zhen, Jingming Palace is that. After leaving here, Zhen is the emperor who works for the world."

Tang Xian nodded.

Two days later, the city of Nanjing was very lively.

Stores under the Royal Family have been offering discounts these days, and rice noodle candies are very popular among the common people.

In the hot and sour noodle shop, coarse noodles made of sweet potatoes have been served.

The Supreme Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Bowen, eat, we have coupons."

Empress Ma said: "Heavy eight, it's too spicy. Eat less."

Zhu Yuanzhang sucked, without any appearance of being too emperor. Many people knew Zhu Yuanzhang, and they came to salute the old Zhu.

Mao Xiang and Yu Yi tried to stop him, but Lao Zhu shook his head and answered a few words with a smile.

Lao Zhu is a little bit arbitrary now, this is his son and daughter-in-law's restaurant, and he can eat as much as he wants.

Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang took the silver and wanted to pay, but Shen Qiancheng smiled and said that he didn't need to pay.

Old Zhu said: "You want to play with our Yun Ye again, don't think we don't know."

"How dare I, the last time I saw Ye'er in the palace, he was smarter than before."

In the past few years, Zhu Biao has reorganized the combination of shops that the Shen family gave to Shen Zhifu, and it has become a part of Daming Royal Commerce.

It may also be because Zhu Yunye often stays at Shen's house, he likes doing business very much.Zhu Biao had asked him to follow Xia Yuanji very early on, starting from a baby.

At the end of the night when the promotion ended, the Bureau of Ming and Commerce went to the palace to report that the net profit reached more than 200 million.

Not counting tea, cloth, salt, etc.

Zhu Biao happily gave himself half a day off.

Tang Xian looked at Zhu Biao's painting and asked, "Your Majesty, is this a monkey painting? It's for the third prince."

"Tang Xian, look at how I draw."

Zhu Biao smiled, Wu Chengen didn't know where he was at the moment, he just used it to coax his son.

Tang Xiandao: "Your Majesty, this is only Huaguo Mountain, the story behind it"

The story Zhu Biao told Zhu Yunyang aroused the curiosity of the servants in Qianqing Palace.

It's a pity they dare not ask His Majesty.

At this moment, Gong Zhengsi's female officer came in.

"His Majesty."

Zhu Biao said: "Why, the empress does not allow my reform of the harem?"
