Zhu Xu returned to the long-lost Qianqing Palace, and also felt the usual stuffiness and discomfort in the Qianqing Palace.
Sitting in the small study of the East Warm Pavilion, Zhu Xu looked at a piece of paper in his hand, with two big characters on it: ,.
These two words are for his eldest son and second princess. , It means blazing, bright, and bright, and to give such a name to the eldest son, the Hanlin Academy obviously took a lot of thought, representing a certain expectation of the imperial court.
Zhu Xu looked at the name and said to Song Yingxing opposite: "Zhu Ci, this name is good, so it's decided." ” Song Yingxing hung Hanlin editing in the Hanlin Academy, and this time he was sent to give Zhu Xu his name.
Song Yingxing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Xu's approval, if Zhu Xu fought back again, the whole Hanlin Academy would lose face.
Song Yingxing looked at Zhu Xu, bowed down and said, "Yes."
Your Majesty, in three months, you can go to the sect. ” Zhu Xu nodded, put the paper in the drawer, and said, "Is there anything else?"
” Song Yingxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this year's autumn season is about to start again." ” The autumn examination, that is, the imperial examination, now also known as the Royal Political Yuan Examination, is a joint examination of various provinces and provincial courts, and is the most important checkpoint to enter the official career.
Zhu Xu knocked on the table with the index finger of his right hand, and said: "Well, this matter is examined by the Political Yuan, supervised by the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials, and we must ensure fairness and justice, and we must not allow the phenomenon of fraud and selling official positions!"
” "Yes!"
Song Yingxing said.
He came this time mainly to fight for this right to take the examiner, and with this power, the royal court will rise to the top.
"Your Majesty, Elder Bige, Elder Sun Pavilion is here."
Cao Huachun came in and said.
Zhu Xu looked at Song Yingxing and said: "The matter of the imperial examination, you must not be careless, I will let the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials squeeze out some silver for you, this matter must be proper, it is related to education, and you must not be careless!"
” "Obey."
Song Yingxing raised his hand and said, looking excited.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and looked at Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting, who had already come in.
Zhu Xu stood up and said to Cao Huachun: "Move chairs for the two adults and serve tea." ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun ordered the internal supervisor to move the chair.
Bi Ziyan, Sun Chuanting thanked him, and sat down lightly on the chair opposite Zhu Xu's imperial table.
Zhu Xu looked for books from the bookshelf, and said without looking back: "Say yours." ” Bi Ziyan leaned over and said: "Back to the emperor, the case in Yangzhou has been concluded, and the grievances of the people in all aspects are still trying their best to appease, although there will be some sequelae, they are still within the controllable range......"
Zhu Xu said 'um' and motioned for him to continue.
Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is a little different from what the cabinet and others thought. ” "Oh, what's the difference?"
Zhu Xu took out a book, came to the chair and sat down, and said with a slight curiosity.
Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu, paused, and said, "In this matter, of course, those who are at the forefront are those officials and gentry in Yangzhou Mansion, but more people resist measuring land, and they are ordinary people, and they are not instigated or coerced and tempted, right......
From the bottom of my heart. ” Zhu Xu was stunned, the hand that opened the book stopped, looked up at Bi Ziyan, his eyes were slightly condensed, and said, "Go on." ” Bi Ziyan didn't say anything about Jinyiwei, and said on the matter: "For example, the minister gave an example, 80 acres of 100 acres of land in Yangzhou Mansion were originally owned by the people, but my court's meritorious celebrities do not need to pay grain, and 60 acres of these 80 acres have been hung under these meritorious celebrities one after another, as long as they pay a little to these meritorious celebrities, they don't have to pay taxes, of course, the taxes they give to meritorious celebrities are far lower than the taxes of the imperial court, and now the imperial court wants to collect taxes, they are naturally unwilling......"
Zhu Xu naturally knew about this, but when something happened, he was still a little surprised.
Zhu Xu did these things, which were originally considered to benefit the country and the people, but now they have been resisted by the people at the bottom, and they have a strange feeling, like a fish in their throats, not vomiting or unhappy, but they can't say anything.
Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu's expression, seemed to understand, and continued silently for a moment: "Your Majesty, if you count the acres of land of the previous clan, honorable nobles, etc., more than eighty percent of the acres of land in my Ming Dynasty do not need to pay taxes, even now, it is as high as more than thirty percent, the reason why it is thirty percent, is to count Liaodong and Annan, if these two places are removed, it is still as high as more than fifty percent, and the reform of acres of land is already urgent, and the ministers and other plans take this opportunity to forcibly promote it in Nanzhili, if Nanzhili can be completed, other places will not be worried......
The money and grain of Nanzhili accounted for more than half of the tax burden of the Ming court, and one Suzhou Prefecture exceeded the entire Jiangxi Province, which shows its influence.
Zhu Xu took the teacup beside him and said quietly, "We are fighting against the people of the world, aren't you afraid, aren't you worried?"
” Bi Ziyan's face was resolute, his eyes were blazing, and he said in a deep voice: "The livelihood of all people is in fire and water, the country and the dynasty are in danger, and the duties of the ministers and other ministers are not hesitant to live or die!"
” Sun Chuanting answered in a timely manner and said: "Your Majesty, after more than 200 years of ups and downs in our country, the old troubles have entered the bone marrow.
Even if we go to the soup and fire, we must get rid of the serious illness of the country, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the society, and for the sake of hundreds of millions of Li people!
” Zhu Xu looked at the two of them and said with relief: "You have such a determination, I am very happy."
However, it is not yet time for us to go to the soup and fire, and we will not hesitate to live or die.
The reform of one prefecture or one county is too weak, and it is necessary to concentrate forces, first rush and then slow, first heavy and then light, and we cannot continue to spread the net to ......."
Bi Ziyan said: "This is also what the ministers mean, Fu Ge Lao plans to go to Nanzhili in person next month to supervise and ensure that the whole family is united, and this problem should be solved within two or three years." ” Zhu Xu said: "Okay, just do it, just gnaw hard bones first!"
” Bi Ziyan saw that Zhu Xu agreed, so he said the general plan again, Zhu Xu did not refute or say more, and nodded from time to time.
The cabinet has a detailed plan, and Zhu Xu is still quite satisfied, and he is not confused to take one step at a time.
After saying this, Bi Ziyan said: "Your Majesty, this is about the parliamentary script, and the minister recommended Sun Chuanting to be the speaker of the parliament." ” Zhu Xu took it over, looked seriously at the cabinet and a series of measures on the formation, performance of duties, and supervision of the parliament, and shook his head secretly, Bi Ziyan and the others still did not understand the real power of this institution, nor did they understand how it should operate.
These things are in a hurry, Zhu Xu gently patted the table, and said, "Well, if I think about it again, what else is there?"
” Bi Ziyan groaned, and Sun Chuanting spoke: "Your Majesty, the parliamentarians want to question Bi Ge Lao, what should be the specific process?"
These parliamentarians are now angry, if they ask something that should not be asked, not only Bi Ge Lao, but also the imperial court will lose face......

Zhu Xu understood, there are too many things that can only be understood and cannot be said publicly, paused, and said: "In this way, let the parliament list an outline of the problem and hand it to Bi Gelao, when the time comes, the question can only be on the outline, no exception, which can be asked, what can not be asked, but also communicate clearly with the parliamentarians in private, in front of everyone, it is true that the system ......of the country and the dynasty cannot be lost."
Sun Chuanting's eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, the minister understands, and the minister plans to follow the example of the Shenlong Mansion and elect some people among the councilors to be stewards and manage the specific affairs of the council......" 1
