The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 786: Prince's Gift

Yan Changwu's appointment as king is definitely a big deal!

According to the Ming system, people whose surnames are not Zhu cannot be named kings. If they are named kings with different surnames, they are all barbarians on the border, and those who are not of our race. For example, Mongolia’s Ada Khan was named the king of Shunyi by the imperial court.

Yan Changwu belonged to the Han and was proclaimed king. His territory was too big to be decent. He acquired Fujian Province, and the whole province became his "Tang Muyi", that is, the fief.

Not only is it big, the key is that he has the right to govern the personnel, finance, military, judicial, and foreign affairs of the province. The court does not care about him at all!

Even if the princes of the Ming Dynasty were surnamed Zhu, their fiefdoms were often small, at most one city, and they could only collect taxes, but could not manage civil affairs and military affairs. The early princes could still manage them, but after Zhu Lao Si Zhu Di came to power He gradually took back all the military power of the vassal princes. Without the permission of the emperor, the vassal princes could not leave the city.

Therefore, the prince Yan Changwu is no small thing!

He took the order and changed into the prince's attire. His regular clothes were: a black silk-winged crown, a red four-group dragon round neck, a jade belt, and soap leather boots.

The emperor's attire is a black silk-winged good crown, four-group dragon round neck (both shoulders plus sun and moon double chapters, other colors except yellow can be used, of course, red is not used), jade belt, soap leather boots.

"Lord, it looks really majestic!" Ma Shiying smiled flatly.

"Hey, the military uniform is still majestic. I don't like these attire. It makes me feel like wearing a costume!" Yan Changwu said bluntly.

"Ah, a lot of people want to wear this costume!" Yao Minggong smiled bitterly, and yelled anxiously: "Ah, prince, don't take off this costume, at least let everyone celebrate. ."

Yan Changwu felt uncomfortable and wanted to get rid of this "costume"!

Yao Minggong is right. Since receiving the decree, officials have come in clusters to congratulate Yan Changwu for being king.

The line following the officials and carrying gifts blocked the front of the National Palace.

The servants of Ying Tianfu were busy directing traffic with sweat and begging grandpa to tell grandma. The officials who came were all officials of the third grade of Huanghuang, so how could they be offended!

In addition to civil servants and military positions, there are also various vassal kings and nobles. They no longer despise Yan Changwu, but they dare not lower the etiquette.

It was Zhang Shouyun, the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, who arrived and saw that the government was blocked by the government, and immediately transferred the gendarmerie up. The military was not afraid of offending people and moved aside without persuasion. This cleared the traffic.

The plaque on the gate of the Guogong’s Mansion has been removed, waiting for the plaque to be replaced by the Prince’s Mansion. The qualified officials will be accompanied by Yan Changwu to speak in the Shangfang, while the officials who fail to meet the qualifications will be received by the Wangfu Changshi.

Yan Changwu announced that all the gifts he sent would be "Thanks", that is, they would not accept them, only the name stickers would be left.

You must know how important it is for him to become a prince. No one dares to sloppy gifts. The gifts they send are all first-class gifts, but he didn't take the opportunity to make money.

Naturally, he got the reputation of all officials.

After more than three days, everyone would rather him accept the gift, and everyone who cried and cried wanted to ask him to accept it.

Nguyen Ge, the new cabinet minister, announced that anyone who receives more than ten taels of silver in a year will be punished as a crime of bribery!

With a slap in the face, the imperial court announced that the salaries of officials had doubled on average, especially for officials, with the highest increase of 125%.

Look, Zhu Chongba of the former Ming Dynasty treats employees very harshly. The county magistrate’s salary is 45 taels of silver per year, while the grooms have 40 taels and the oil hawkers have 20 taels of silver per year.

As soon as Zhu Youchan of the Yongming Dynasty came to power, he added 10% of the income to the officials and was known as the emperor of 10%.

Young Master Yan is even more powerful, adding a large sum of silver to the officials, and the annual income reaches hundreds of thousands, and the officials are naturally happy.

But Yang Lian Yin is for officials, not officials!

Yan Changwu is the throne. The first time he gave the king's order, he doubled his salary (not to raise honesty and silver). The lower the salary of the previous staff, the higher the salary!

People commented: "The King of Southeast Asia has the true character of King Jing!"

Wang Jinggong is Wang Anshi. He made reforms and the first one was to raise wages to officials, so they were very supportive of them.

Even after he stepped down, the officials who supported him continued to fight against the officials who opposed him. For example, Cai Jing, a famous traitor in the Northern Song Dynasty, was a disciple of Wang Anshi. He even succeeded in putting those who opposed the new law into a separate list. It is the famous "Yuanyou Party Member Monument".

In contrast, Zhang Juzheng also learned to reform, because he did not dare to touch the family law of his ancestors and did not raise wages to the officials. On the fourth day after he stepped down, he was completely overthrown by the Donglin Party to overthrow his policy and was honored in his lifetime. Stripping the pigs, the children and grandchildren died of starvation, and there was no way to fight back.

Although Yan Dashao gave everyone this and other request, everyone likes the good-for-profit boy. It is rumored that he is the reincarnation of the golden boy under the seat of Mazu's mother. The Southeast Mansion called him the "golden bronze boy". Confused, now I understand it!

Officials think about it, it's better to be such a prince!

There must be voices of disobedience. For example, the prince Shao Shi Fang, every year, wrote straightforward advice, pointing out that Yan Changwu’s appointment of the king was not in accordance with the system: the appointment of the king by different surnames, the real seal, and the excessively large fief.

"...This is a country within a country. If things go on like this, the people of Fujian only know that the southeast king does not know the court, and the country will not be a country!" Fang Fengnian said.

He believed that it was incompatible with the system. The kings of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to interfere in local political and military affairs, and were not allowed to leave the fief without authorization and make friends with local officials. "In the current situation, the Southeast King has completely overthrown the previous system.

Fang Fengnian, a native of Sui'an, Zhejiang in the late Ming Dynasty, called Shutian and called Shiluan. In the second year of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty (1622), in the Jinshi examination held by the imperial court, he got the fourth place in the Jinshi examination, and was immediately selected as the official position of Shujishi.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), when he presided over the local township test in the Huguang area to ask candidates about current affairs, he issued the phrase "giant beetle" to offend Wei Zhongxian's minions in the court, so he was framed and returned home.

During the Chongzhen reign, after the traitor party was removed, Fang Fengnian was re-employed again, serving as a Japanese lecturer in the DPRK, and later promoted to the Imperial College Jijiu (official name), the official book of the Ministry of Rites, and a scholar of Dongge University. Into the cabinet. Return later.

Nan Mingli, Fang Fengnian was already very old, and he was appointed as the teacher of the prince, plus the title of the prince's junior teacher.

He was the Donglin Party. When Yan Changwu defeated the Donglin Party, because of his old age and not being in power for a long time, he gave the royal family a face and did not dismiss him (actually, Yan Dashao put him next to the prince, which is quite bad idea) , Now he can't help but ~lightnovelpub.net~ will jump out.

His memorial passed through the cabinet and the southeast palace, all strangely without any comments, and went straight to the palace.

Emperor Zhu Youchan kept his memorial alive.

Then Fang continued to die every year, and then presented a memorial, saying that Young Master Yan gave everyone money, which was contrary to Taizu's intention and violated the ancestor's family law!

The cabinet and the Southeast Palace did not give any comments, and the memorials went straight to the palace.

In desperation, Zhu Youchan invited Fang Fengnian to go to the palace and said to him: "A dignified prince, young teacher, unexpectedly does not understand my intentions and does not understand the truth. How to do the prince teacher, I am disappointed!"

These words were very serious, Fang flushed red every year!

"Beijing falls into the hands of the Qing people. If it is swept by the Qing people, the south of the Yangtze River will not be guaranteed. We will have no place to live! The southeast king can regain Beijing and let the Han family survive and survive. The merits of the king are not enough to reward him!" Zhu Youchan shook his head and said, "Although the province of Fujian has been sealed off, do you ever know that the king of Southeastern Fujian is a native of Southern Fujian, how did the people of Southern Fujian manage the family?"

Suddenly Fang was stunned every year, and Zhu Youchan said lightly: "When he is away, the Zhu family is still in charge of Fujian Province, who dares to move Fujian Province!"

The customs of southern Fujian, men go to sea to work hard, daughter-in-law is the housekeeper, and Yan Changwu is in the main house of the mainland, and it is the princess Zhu Zhenzhen of Daming!

Zhu Youchan said tiredly: "You tell your old man and go back to your hometown, and you will be harmed by the princes if you put you by their side!"

Zhu Youchan knew clearly about Yan Changwu's bad ideas, so Fang returned every year.

He was established by Yan Changwu, and everyone called him faint and incompetent, but in fact, Zhu Yousan kept Mingzhe and preserved the Ming Dynasty within his power. In his lifetime, Yan Changwu respected him and did not dare to neglect.
