Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu deeply.

He was once again shocked by this traitor's ability to make plans and then act!

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu was supervising the affairs of the country and established the academic department and appointed Xie Jin as the academic minister. This attracted Yang Rong, Hu Yan and other Jin gentry courtiers to resist desperately, and even tried to bring down the academic department by using the imperial examination fraud.

The final result was that Hu Yan, Yang Rong and others failed to steal the chicken, but were caught by the prison prince of the Han Dynasty. He purged the entire court in one fell swoop, and even exiled all the Hanlin Academy members and dismissed them for three years. A major imperial examination!

Until now, the imperial court has not resumed the imperial examination.

Zhu Di also approached Zhu Gaoxu because he could no longer withstand the pressure from the gentry and wanted to resume the imperial examination.

But the villain firmly opposed it and refused to let go.

Originally, Zhu Di thought that Zhu Gaoxu was buying time for the promotion of new learning.

After all, the foundation of the new school was too weak. Even though the school under the leadership of Xie Jin had traveled all over the country to promote the imperial examination, after all, Cheng and Zhu had been popular for a hundred years. It was not a good idea to replace it in a short time. An easy thing!

If a major imperial examination is held and new content is mixed in, those candidates and students will most likely not get any good results in the exam.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to simply abolish the imperial examination and give the new students some more time.

Zhu Di had no choice but to respect Zhu Gaoxu's opinion.

Only now did Zhu Di suddenly realize that the traitor's dismissal from the imperial examination had a deeper meaning!

Dad, the imperial examination will be resumed sooner or later, but not now.

The foundation of Xinxue is weak. It will not be easy to replace Cheng and Zhu.

Zhu Di nodded, but also offered his opinion.

Jian Yi has approached me many times. The court lacks talents.

You bastard, you have exiled and dismissed so many officials. If you don't hold the imperial examination, where do you want Jian Yi to find people to fill the vacant official positions?

Relying on the two sources of informants and the Imperial College is far from enough. If we don't hold the imperial examination, the imperial court will probably have a talent gap.

Zhu Gaoxu also understood this, and since the words came to this, he could only relent.

After all, six or seven years have passed since the advent of the new school. Those students of the new school must have become somewhat successful, right?

Then take the exam. After the imperial court moves its capital to Beijing, the imperial examination can be resumed.

However, the content of the scientific examination must be changed. It must focus on new learning. Only in this way will students all over the world understand the profound meaning of the imperial court, and it can also help promote the new learning.

Zhu Di did not refuse this. He was also unhappy with the Cheng and Zhu Jin gentry. What's more, now that he knew that the biggest enemy of the royal family was actually the gentry class, he would naturally suppress them even more.

From Cheng Zhu to Xin Xue, although it was just a change of soup but not medicine, sooner or later these new Xue Xue gentry would also embark on the old path of annexing fields.

However, this process of reform and innovation was enough to seriously weaken the vitality of the gentry class. The court could also take the opportunity to implement a whipping method to recapture the fields that had been annexed by the gentry!

The imperial examination was held every three years, and the court actually only suspended it for two rounds.

However, these six or seven years are very precious, not only for the new students, but also for the military attaches and honorable ministers!

Zhu Di also understands now that if he wants to keep the imperial power intact, and if he wants to have civil and military checks and balances, it is imperative to support the noble military ministers!

All meritorious generals will grow old and die sooner or later, and the probability of being a general's dog is much greater than that of a general's tiger.

Famous generals are all killed on the battlefield, not coddled and raised in the prince's house.

For example, if you expect dandies like Zhu Yong and Xu Qin to fight against the civil servants and gentry in the future, you might as well count on yourself.

On the other hand, the gentry and civil servants control knowledge and occupy fields, and collude with each other to form academic factions. They are destined to pass on knowledge from generation to generation, and their heritage is getting thicker and thicker!

In addition, the imperial examination system continuously provides fresh blood for the civil servants and gentry to enter the court, which fundamentally guarantees that the civil servants and gentry will never decline!

From now on, whether it is the founding nobles or the peaceful nobles, they will eventually gradually decay and decline, and the voice of the court will fall into the hands of civil servants and gentry, resulting in an imbalance between civil and military affairs and the fall of imperial power!

And once the right to speak in the court falls into the hands of civil servants and gentry, who can their descendants rely on to check and balance these scholar-bureaucrats?

Xun Gui has become a waste waiting to die!

All the clan and vassal kings were sent out to guard one side!

Is it possible that the Ming Emperor will follow Liu Han's path and rely on his relatives and eunuchs to check and balance the court?

But Liu Han's lesson is right in front of him: his relatives and eunuchs are a sure way to die!

In the final analysis, the only people who can truly check and balance the civil servants and gentry are the noble military ministers!

What are you going to do?

I can't figure out the connection between Liaodong and Xungui!

This traitor obviously asked Xungui to focus on Liaodong, but Zhu Di couldn't figure out what was noteworthy about Liaodong?

Although the imperial court called on the people to move there to open up wasteland, and even noble sons and daughters went to run it, but after so many years, the effect was not very good.

The reason is that Liaodong is a bitterly cold land, and the harsh climate is not suitable for ordinary people to farm.

If this problem cannot be solved, no matter how much manpower and material resources the court invests in it, it will be in vain!

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and asked Zhu Di a question.

The huge profits at sea affect people's hearts. Dad should know that, right?

Zhu Di's face changed slightly and he nodded subconsciously.

You must know that during Zheng He's several voyages to the West, all the huge profits he brought back went into his pocket.

How could Zhu Di not know the huge profits of maritime trade!

If dad is willing to share part of the profits, bring the military officers and nobles together to make a fortune, and tie them to the imperial family forever, then the noble military officials will never decline!

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di changed his expression and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with squinted eyes.

Use ocean trade to tie the noble military ministers to the imperial family to support the noble military ministers!

This strategy cannot be said to be impossible, but after all, it has certain risks!

What if those noble military ministers have thoughts that they shouldn't have?

This is what Zhu Di is most afraid of.

It will take ten years for scholars to rebel!

But the noble military ministers are different. They were born as generals themselves and control the military power.

If we give them enough wealth, UU read www.uukanshu. net No one can guarantee whether these warriors Qiu Ba will have thoughts they shouldn't have!

Dad, you are worrying too much!

When it comes to loyalty, military officers and nobles are more trustworthy than civil servants and gentry!

After all, they are all people who followed my old Zhu family to conquer the world and sold their lives for my old Zhu family. This Ming Dynasty is not only my old Zhu family's Ming Dynasty, but also their Ming Dynasty. The imperial family and the nobles are one and the same!

As long as we give them enough profits, the noble military ministers will just live with the country and not have any thoughts of rebellion!

Besides, not just any cat or dog can get on this big ship. The Duke of Cheng's Palace, the Duke of Wei's Palace, the Duke of England's Palace, the Duke of Guizhou's Palace... all the top-notch Dukes can't get it!

The imperial court can also impose restrictions on them. The Duke of the country must leave the town, and the children will remain in the capital as hostages. Outstanding children will be put into the navy for training, and they will make contributions to the Ming Dynasty on the road to becoming a maritime power!

The more Zhu Di listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more moved he became.

This traitor has really planned everything!

Then Liaodong...

Liaodong has not been developed, and there are many towering ancient trees. It can be used as a base for nobles to build their own shipyards and ships, and then they can go out to sea with the navy to do business and trade!

As for the profit sharing, just control it within a certain range. If it's too much, it will make them have thoughts they shouldn't have. If it's too little, it will make them feel resentful. Dad, you can handle it yourself!

You kid... Zhu Di sighed and finally nodded.

Because this was a plan for the country, it would only benefit the Ming Dynasty and the court, and Zhu Di had no reason to refuse.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu didn't tell Zhu Di a thing, or there was no need to tell him.

Taking Liaodong as the base for those noble generals, if barbarians like the Jurchens want to rise, just dream!
