As soon as Zhou Zheng spoke, he moved quickly.
Making an decree, especially a middle decree, is not a simple matter. Yao Tongshun shuttles back and forth in the cabinet compound and the palace, and can't hide it from everyone.
Before Yao Tongshun finished running, Zhou Yanru knew about it.
Fan Wenjing stood in front of Zhou Yanru's desk and said, "My lord, I have to say that the trick of levying Xibo is really clever. It is easier to use the emperor's decree than anyone to come forward."
The emperor made an order to reprimand the hundred officials, what else could the hundred officials say? If you really want to slander, it is no ruler and no father! Now that the rituals are strict and fault-finding, that's death!
Zhou Yanru said with a calm face, "The first way is to deal with the rebels as soon as possible. This opening of the gate, I don't know how many people will die and how many people will be affected. The second way is to rectify the name of the law. In the future, there will be no more people. Obviously opposed it."
Fan Wenjing seemed to have not reacted to it, and said, "Zheng Xibo's trick is really clever. With two sacred decree, the whole world will be blocked. Tomorrow will be a good start."
Zhou Yanru glanced at him and said, "Next year, what shall we do?"
Fan Wenjing was startled, just about to open his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Yes, this reform and reform was proposed by Zhou Zheng's first line, and it was all led by Zhou Zheng's first line. Then, as the first auxiliary line, what should they do
Participate in reform and reform together, of course not. But if they don't participate, they will always have to do more to avoid being marginalized by Zhou Zheng's line.
Fan Wenjing pondered over and over again, and said, "My lord, what do you think?"
Zhou Yanru's eyes flickered and said, "Look first."
Fan Wenjing looked at Zhou Yanru's expression, his heart moved slightly, and he sighed secretly.
He probably understands that Zhou Yanru wants to sit and watch the changes. If the reform is successful, he is the first assistant and can naturally pick peaches easily. If the reform is unsuccessful, he can also bring great momentum in the name of the first assistant. Ask Zhou Zheng!
Li Banghua, Yang Sichang and others were also in the cabinet and soon learned the news, but they all pretended not to know.
Soon, the first decree was awarded to the Sansi, who first denounced the rebels, and then ordered the Sansi to conclude the adversary case before changing the yuan next year.
The heads of the three divisions, Zhang Sizhi, the official book of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Ma Shiying, the Yushi of the Imperial Court, and Kou Huaiyi, the prince of the Dali Temple.
This matter seems to be upright and righteous, but the rebellion in this matter is that most of the people are scholar-officials, and they are highly powerful and are inextricably linked to too many people. How can it be so easy
The second way is to reprimand those who prevent the reform. The imperial decree will explicitly or implicitly implicate him with the adversary, ordering Sansi, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei to investigate and deal with it, and would rather kill the mistake than let it go.
As soon as these two decrees came out, the uproar in the capital, like a ball vented, slowly stopped.
Inside the criminal ministry, Liu Zongzhou, who was being held in custody, looked like crying and laughing when he heard the two decree.
With this will, what else can he say? What can I do
The same is true for "Er Zhang" and Fushe, full of anger, but helpless for a while.
The imperial decree can't be just off, and they collectively oppose it. What's the result? Who is the criminal? Didn’t you rush to give someone a handle
Ever since, there was a brief calm in the capital.
The people of Zhou Zheng took this opportunity to continuously exert their efforts, throwing out the things they had prepared one by one.
The first one is that the three divisions tried the'Fangwang Adverse Case', convicted sixteen princes, three were capital offenses, and the rest were imprisoned.
Then, the imperial decree was issued, the membership of these sixteen clan families was removed, and the palace and all assets were confiscated.
At the same time, he also praised Tang Wang and others for their'general knowledge', accepted their donations, and arranged good land and beautiful houses for them in Beijing.
Therefore, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, on the sixth day of December, the world clan returned to the capital and was supported by the clan mansion, and there was no vassal land.
Gao Hongtu's household department was very busy, even if he had already prepared the manpower and started doing it long ago, he was still in a hurry for a while.
The family clan under the Heaven occupies two or three tenths of the Ming Dynasty's fertile fields, millions of hectares, belonging to all parts of the country, where it is so easy to clean up, and the statistics are completed.
Gao Hongtu set up the "Dutian Division" under the Ministry of Households to manage these confiscated and originally owned official fields.
After that, the three divisions tried the case of the princes Xungui. These princes were involved in more cases, and the number of stone hammers was countless, so the penalty was clearer.
Some of these noble priests had the same life span as the Ming Dynasty clan, with countless family possessions, a few were killed, and many were exiled.
As a result, the cabinet issued an edict to restrain the noble ministers, abolished the'hereditary displacement', and changed it to the'three generations to end'.
In mid-December, Sansi concentrated on trying those rebellious officials. This is the most common. Speculation is what the scholar-officials do best. There are countless inside and outside Beijing who surrendered Li Zicheng.
Among them, 97 were sentenced to death and ransacked their homes, 262 were deported, 543 were redeemed for the people, and there were more than 1,200 others, large and small.
The next day, the palace made an order to severely reprimand the rebellion and ask the scholars of the world show to be a warning. At the same time, the cabinet was ordered to conduct serious introspection and sum up lessons to prevent such things from happening again.
The cabinet immediately issued a government decree, which will carefully review the system and make adjustments according to the current conditions to eliminate bad governance and benefit the people.
Every day after that, the six departments continued to issue diaries, vowing to honor the holy mandate, work hard to reform, and resolve the ill-adjusted government.
The official department stated that it would sort out the system, strengthen the assessment and dispatch of officials, and strictly control the officials of the world, and there will never be any small opportunities.
The Ministry of Households admitted that they had made some mistakes in the past and corrected their powers, especially the out-of-control in the localities, introspected them comprehensively, and will surely make a profound review.
The Ministry of War, on the other hand, believed that the Northwestern Rebellion was due to the lack of a military system, which caused the officers and soldiers to respond poorly.
The Ministry of Rites said that rebellion is a problem with the ritual law, and it is necessary to revise the ritual law. Virtue is in the heart, and cultivation is in the ritual.
The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Penalty also have their own opinions, as if they recognize their mistakes and are about to make drastic reforms.
These diaries were sent to all parts of the country, and Daming people could read them.
Most of the people who didn't know first looked at each other and then were ecstatic. After so many years, has the court finally made a real change
Those who know the inside story are worried and trance full of eyes.
They all know Zhou Zheng's series of preparations for reforms, and they also know some content. Those are all related to the ancestral system and the country. If they are not careful, they will cause catastrophe!
Up to now, the'reform' is the general trend, and then the obstacles are the man's arm as a car, and most people have chosen to be silent. (End of this chapter)
