Chapter 543 Yongle

When Zhu Di came out of the palace, many old people in the palace shed tears. Zhu Di was nearly forty years old and majestic. It was a coincidence that he was like the Emperor Hongwu who had just ascended the throne!

The old people still remember the majestic and murderous aura of Zhu Yuanzhang when he ascended the throne... Now Zhu Di and Lao Zhu were about the same age at that time, and the civil and military officials around him were all outstanding people at the time, even better than the nobles in Huaixi back then.

In addition, Zhu Di's subordinates were also warriors who had lived for the rest of their lives.

Zhu Di is indeed like Zhu Yuanzhang's rebirth at this moment.

It is completely different from a guy like Zhu Yunwen who doesn't look like a monarch. Zhu Di's victory indicates that the Ming Dynasty will continue to forge ahead and move forward bravely.

As for the destruction of martial arts and culture that some people hope to be, it is even more distant to rule by doing nothing.

Two consecutive heroes are lucky for the Ming Dynasty.

In this turbulent era, both civil officials and military generals were full of energy. Because they all knew that it was not difficult to let go of themselves and have the support of the emperor, and keep their names in history.

They can also write their names into history like other founding officials of the courts.

"Oh, it would be great if I could be twenty years younger!" Lan Yu grabbed her slightly white beard and shook her head to sigh. Next to him, her son-in-law Liu Chun stood with a smile.

"My father-in-law, you are strong and healthy, and you are still stronger, and you are almost the same as young people!"

Lan Yu snorted, with disdain on her face, "Boy, don't give me a sacrificial soup. Speaking of which, I can't swing the saber, but I'm really old. A new generation of people should change to old people, and we old people should also be more sensible. If we block others' path, we will be ruined and will be in danger of our integrity!"

Listening to the old father-in-law's sigh, Liu Chun was also quite surprised. It turned out that Lan Yu could also judge the situation!

Liu Chun approached Lan Yu and whispered: "My father-in-law, don't give up on yourself. From my perspective, it won't take long to come out of my father-in-law."

Of course, Lan Yu knew how much Liu Chun spoke. This kid didn’t seem to be lying. Is he getting any news? Or is this kid trying to push himself out to do things?

"Liu Chun, I can remind you not to make random ideas. I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

Liu Chun chuckled, "Don't worry, father-in-law, you will definitely have the opportunity to show your skills in the future."

Lan Yu was skeptical. At this moment, Zhu Di had already left the capital surrounded by countless Jinyiwei, and first went to Xiaoling to worship, and then went to the southern suburbs to worship the world.

At this point, Zhu Di could directly read out the throne edict and announce the subsequent policy, but at this moment, Liu Chun arranged a unique link.

"Please announce the subjects of the Ministry of Political Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security and present the yellow and fish scale books!"

Accompanied by the shouts of Jian Yi, the Minister of Rites, led by Yingtian Prefecture, people from all over the world appeared again. They walked towards Zhu Di in turn with yellow books and fish scale books in their hands.

These common people have made a lot of money. The experiences they have been in the capital for several months are enough for them to say for several lifetimes.

First, they participated in the interrogation of officials of the previous dynasty, and then persuaded the new king to join the picture, and now they presented the picture album. How much reward did they win? What good things happened one after another!

This time, I completely opened my eyes and saw the big scene.

The people were still a little confused and just did things as they were told. They came to Zhu Di in turn, knelt in front of the province's picture album, placed them on the table, then stepped aside, and knelt again.

By the time the people of various provinces finished offering, a small hill had already piled up in front of Zhu Di.

Of course, these are just a sign. If all the fish scale books and yellow books are really taken, they will only be taller than Zhu Di.

When the representative of the Daning Dusi finally presented the picture album, Zhu Di stepped forward to the table and pressed one hand on the picture album!

His face turned red, and although he tried his best to control his emotions, he still couldn't hide his excitement.

This link arranged by Liu Chun really satisfied Zhu Di.

For an emperor, how power is obtained is very important.

Take Zhu Yuanzhang as an example. He conquered the country with one hand and ascended the throne and became emperor under the support of his ministers. In other words, he conquered the world.

In theory, except for the founding emperor, other emperors rely on the will to inherit the throne and inherit power from their ancestors.

For emperors of all dynasties, respecting the laws and regulations of ancestors has become inevitable. Because your power is given by your ancestors, if you do not have the merits of surpassing your ancestors, how can you change the ancestral system at will!

Unfortunately, most emperors are mediocre people, even trash, and they can only crawl at the feet of their ancestors and just live by.

Zhu Di was obviously not such a person. He was talented and stubborn. After he entered Beijing, he emphasized everywhere that his source of power was Zhu Yuanzhang, which would help liquidate Zhu Yunwen's group and show his orthodox status.

But a question that arises: how could Zhu Di break Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements, how could he surpass the old man and create his own era?

This is a difficult question that no one can answer. Even if you are as smart as Yao Guangxiao, there is no suitable answer.

Someone came up with a plan.

This person is Liu Chun!

He asked the people of various provinces to present pictures to the new king, but to some extent, he declared to the world that a considerable part of Zhu Di's power was granted by the people.

Only when the people support King Yan and support reforms can today's throne ceremony be achieved!

First sacrifice to Lao Zhu, then the people offered pictures.

The time of the time is meticulous and meticulous, and it is full of space for people to think and interpret.

But no matter what, Zhu Di was very satisfied.

"I have raised troops to calm down the crisis, and cannot bear the suffering of the people, and cannot bear the destruction of the BenQ in the hands of treacherous and treacherous. Now that I inherit the great throne, I will definitely take the people as my mind, take the heart of the people as my heart, and suffer the suffering of the people, and solve the most urgent problems of the people."

"I am here, facing the oath of heaven and earth, and must implement equal land and realize the dream of farming people having land for thousands of years. We must reform the tax system and realize tax fairness. There is no distinction between high and low among my people. I will vigorously promote education and give poor children the opportunity to change their destiny. I encourage industry and commerce, encourage the people to live a better life. I will promote all kinds of labour, support inventions and creations, and benefit the people. I will also rectify the administration of officials and strictly enforce laws and regulations... In short, subjects and people respect Zhu Di as king, and Zhu Di will shoulder the burden of the emperor, give back to the people, and let the emperor's people be forever grateful to the heavens!"

Zhu Di's words were so powerful that many old ministers from the Jianwen period were shocked when they heard them.

What a great Zhu Di!

He didn't say much, but almost every sentence did not leave the people. He made promises to ordinary self-cultivated farmers again and again... In contrast, the scholars who were once arrogant had been completely abandoned by the emperor.

As a member of the scholars, these people were filled with emotion and mixed feelings. They didn't know whether to be grateful or to lament.

Zhu Di had no intention of caring about these people. After he announced his succession, he immediately returned to the palace and issued orders continuously.

First of all, Zhu Di announced that the reign of Yongle will be changed from next year!

Secondly, Zhu Di told the world that all the rules of the Jianwen Dynasty were revisited.

Third, in terms of taxation, Shandong, Beiping and Henan were exempted from labor service for three years. Those who were not sold to Fengyang, Huai'an, Xu, Chu and Yang for one year, and all the remaining prefectures and counties in the world paid half of the land rent this year.

However, among the general reductions and exemptions, there are exceptions, that is, the four prefectures of Susongchang Town, which are all the base camps of Jiangnan literati. In Japan, Lao Zhu was jealous of their support for Zhang Shicheng, so he levied heavy taxes.

When Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, under the instigation of a group of literati, he actually reduced the taxes of the four governments.

Zhu Di understood very well that although these four governments have heavy taxes, they are commercial centers, with abundant resources and strong financial resources, and they can definitely afford it. Moreover, in the future, these four governments will also get a lot of investment in developing industry and commerce. Tax exemptions are something that is a brainless thing.

"Your Majesty, there is another thing. The Ministry of Rites asks you to issue an order to pardon the criminals, and celebrate with all the world."

When Zhu Di heard this, he widened his eyes, "What's the reason?" He glared at Jian Yi, "I ascended the throne to punish evil and promote good, and to magnify the foundation of the late emperor. If I ascended the throne and all the bad people came out of the prison, wouldn't it mean that I became an accomplice of the evil people and a party? Let the evil people have fun with me, will I be happy?"

Zhu Di shouted angrily: "Remember, from now on, don't mention such a ridiculous thing again!"

Jian Yinuo agreed, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This Emperor Yongle is really hard to serve!

Zhu Di just established his authority in a small way, and did not continue to speak. He just said to the ministers: "Tomorrow, please follow me to appreciate the style of the Ming warriors!"
