Chapter 6: East-West-to-East-Two

Huang Zunsu is also a minister of the cabinet. Yanhong's method was too shocked. Even if he was determined, he did not have the courage to take charge. The powerful relationship still needs to be carefully considered. He is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat. He is not the kind of stubborn donkey temper. Seeing that the emperor must not be able to see him now, he hurriedly retreated with red eyes. He had to discuss this with several other cabinet ministers and unify his opinions. In the end, he still had to get the emperor's approval. One is the first and two big ones. Emperor, is it because you are young or are you impulsive?

Huang Zunsu still couldn't think of one reason after thinking about it. He thought in his heart, don't guess the saint's intentions in vain. The emperor always acted wildly and could not control his pulse at all. Only when things were done could he understand what was going on. It was like regaining Jinzhou silently and forcing Huang Taiji to sign a peace agreement. It was planned by the emperor secretly. The six ministries and the cabinet had no prior information, and it was entirely handled by the Military Machine Pavilion. No wonder, who knew whether the court had spies bought by the Later Jin Dynasty. If the plan was leaked, it would not be a complete victory, but annihilated by the entire army. Huang Zunsu hurried to Wenyuan Pavilion, and the cabinet ministers were ministers of various ministries.

Every day, I have to go to the cabinet for a short meeting, and then I am willing to go to the offices of each department and return to the offices of each department. If I don’t go back to the offices of each department, Wenyuan Pavilion has set up a single office room for each department, without disturbing each other. It is considered the center of power of the empire. The corresponding one is Wuying Pavilion, which is much quieter than here. However, the reorganization, training, new military uniforms, and weapons of the new army are not light, so most of them go to work on site. The original Zhongshu Department and the current secretariat were set up in the Wuying Pavilion by Zhu Yinglong. The original Zhongshu Tan and the six department officials have basically become the secretary of the ministers of the cabinet and the Military Machinery Pavilion.

"Master Huang, Master Huang, I have found you!" Huang Zunsugang was halfway through the way and met Yang He, the Minister of Justice who was waving to him.

Huang Zunsu could only put down his thoughts and walked forward quickly, clasped his fists and said, "So it's Lord Yang, why do you call Huang so anxiously?"

Yang He smiled bitterly and took out a few memorials and stuffed them into Huang Zunsu's hand. Huang Zunsu was puzzled and asked with confusion: "Sir Yang, why are you?"

"Mr. Huang, look at it. They are all memorials for officials. They are all coming to my Ministry of Justice!" Yang He said helplessly.

Huang Zunsu didn't have the intention to read these memorials. He put it away casually and said, "The emperor is determined to rectify the officialdom this time. You and I, as ministers, should think of ways to overcome the difficulties."

"Master Huang, Yang said something very disrespectful. If the emperor continues to do this, sooner or later he will be angry and resentful. A county and a governmental master actually deprived him of the power to investigate and judge cases. For thousands of years, the emperor of that dynasty has done such a ridiculous thing?" Yang He said with some resentment.

Huang Zunsu suddenly felt nervous. What did he mean by saying this? He carefully considered it: "Mr. Yang, as the Minister of Justice, if you are asked to collect taxes, what do you think you can do?"

"Master Huang, what do you mean?" Yang He knew that Huang Zunsu was the emperor's direct old man, so he came to explore the slightest.

"The order of a county is to govern the pastoral and guard the people. Promote water conservancy and trade merchants. There are so many things that need to be done by him. If you try a case and make a case, you only need to do specialized personnel in the criminal law." Huang Zunsu explained.

"Since ancient times, trial, investigation, case investigation, case clearance, and banning violence have been what parents should do. This is the ancestral law for thousands of years. Doesn't the emperor know?" Yang He said dissatisfied.

"Absurd. Who said the emperor didn't know that it was natural that the parents should do the land of one party's parents. The emperor did not issue an order to prevent them from doing it. Lord Yang didn't understand the profound meaning of the emperor at all, so he just guessed randomly here!" The conversation between the two happened to be heard by the Minister of Revenue Sun Shenxing, who came from behind, and couldn't help but scold him.

"Then what are your opinions, Lord Sun?" Yang He and Sun Shenxing were a little disagreeable. When they heard him calling him "absurd" he suddenly felt angry. But they forced themselves to hold it back and asked coldly.

"The emperor's intention is not to make these county magistrates know how to investigate, examine and judge cases. What they need is that they try their best to make the local people prosperous and prosperous. This is the real reason why the emperor delegates their power to investigate, examine and judge cases to special officials below. The quality of a county magistrate's political achievements is no longer simply to see whether he is honest or can protect the people, and whether he collects the land tax in full, and also to see whether he can revitalize the local economy, know people and make good use of it, so that the people can live and work in peace, live a prosperous life, and have money.

, the court will have money, and when the court is rich, the country will be strong!" Sun Shenxing said, "If a county magistrate has been in office for three years, there is no mistake in investigating cases, probing cases, and probing cases, but this county has not changed at all for three years, and the people are still so poor. No matter how good a county magistrate does, what is the significance of the court giving him the power to investigate cases, probing cases and probing cases? Compared with the important task of educating the people of the court for the imperial court, which is more important, Lord Yang, can't you even weigh this?"

"Revitalize the local economy?" Yang He was stunned. He had never heard of it before. "Mr. Sun, what does it mean to revitalize the local economy?"

"Mr. Yang, if you have time, go to the Imperial Academy to see it. The emperor has already issued an order to let all the officials of the six ministries go to the teaching site, but you, the Minister of Justice, have never been there. Maybe you will find the answer you want." Huang Zunsu patted Yang He on the shoulder and said, "He is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and is also an old man in the secret residence. Naturally, he knew these new terms, otherwise he would have opposed the emperor's reforms and would have been ventilated long ago.

Yang He was immediately frightened by this. Why did he forget this? This is disrespectful to the imperial edict. If the censors find out, they will be very troublesome if they are asked to study his book and take the opportunity to attack him. They will have to be fined one month's salary.

He quickly followed along and said a few words of thanks to Huang Zunsu Kejiner.

Zhu Yinglong didn't know that the Taixue has become a big fuss. The faction that adheres to Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism and the faction that opposed Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism had a big fight. The faction that opposed Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism ripped Zhu Xi's background, called him a hypocritical hypocrite and destroyed human nature. He angrily denounced "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires" as a fallacy theory. Even Confucius and Master said that "food and sex are nature." Why should Zhu Xi destroy human desires? Those who adhere to Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism scolded those who opposed Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism forgot their ancestors. The two sides were in a quarrel, criticizing and spitting. If it weren't for the weak scholars who had no power to tie a chicken, the two factions would really fight, and the initiator of this melee was Huang Zongxi, Wei Xuelian and others. In fact, they did this under the instruction of the emperor. A new term

, New ideas continue to emerge. For hundreds of years, the country has not been so lively in academics. How could they know that it would be so big? It spread from Imperial College to Beijing, Tsinghua University, where there are many people and powerful forces, and it has become the main battlefield. Zhu Yinglong made a fool of himself. But it was also considered a trick, that is, the two universities who went to the two universities in the court each had 20 places to directly tribute each time. This is a waste of time. The students were still waiting and watching to flock to the crowd. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All the teachers were state cadres, and then the career of the officials was not smooth. In less than three days, the two universities successfully completed the enrollment tasks. Those who did not pass the exam or left early were simply beating their chests and stamping their feet, because as long as they entered, there was hope!

But when you go in, you know what's going on. Those twenty quotas are not so easy to get. Once you go in, you must finish four years. If you pass the Jinshi exam in three years, you can graduate early, but if you don't get a bake, hehe. If you can't get a university diploma, hehe, you won't be able to pass the imperial examination in the future. This is a hidden rule!

This storm soon affected the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom, and a comprehensive attack on Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism was launched. Huang Zongxi and others were later honored as outstanding representatives of the imperial ideological enlightenment movement, and the title of thinker could no longer be eliminated.

At this time, Zhu Yinglong, the mastermind behind the emperor, had to help Huang Zongxi and others at a disadvantage. After all, if advanced and true ideas are to develop and grow, they will inevitably be destroyed by the eyes of old ideas. If there is no powerful force behind the ground, I am afraid that Zhu Yinglong's ideological improvement movement will be still in the womb. Therefore, he kept all the memorials for chastity awards reported by the Ministry of Revenue and said that officials were sent to verify and the court would be sentenced to the verification.

Naturally, it will be awarded to the chastity archway, and at the same time, the widow who lost her husband wants to remarry himself, and no one has the right to stop him. However, remarrying cannot take away the children born in the original husband's family, and the support fee must be paid monthly until adults. If the husband's family allows it or there is no family member, then the children can be taken away. At the same time, if the husband's family only has parents-in-law left, the remarried daughter-in-law must be raised and sent to the end, and the children born are treated equally, otherwise the court will severely punish them!

This decree caused an uproar in the world. This imperial decree, which seemed to be meaningless, also safeguarded the interests of the original husband's family everywhere. In fact, it encouraged the widow to remarry, and pointed the core idea of ​​Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, "Starting to death is small, and losing integrity is big!"

Zhu Yinglong knew that although he issued this imperial edict, the apprentices of Zhu Zi could not do anything to him. Anyway, there is no one in the Ming Dynasty that widows cannot remarry, but they just say that adultery is guilty, and they do not say that widows are guilty of remarrying. Besides, which of my imperial edict is not written according to filial piety? I can also say that this is to ask widows to think carefully when remarrying, because after remarrying, her burden is even greater. It can be said that remarrying is a disaster for widows. Qingliu is not fools. Naturally, it can be seen that the intention of this imperial edict is, and of course it will cause trouble. But even though he knows the true intention of the emperor's imperial edict, there is no way. Fortunately, Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism did not reach the peak of the Ming Dynasty, and there were many progressive thinkers and Confucian scholars who helped shake the flag and shout, which made the flag of Huang Zongxi and others stand up.
