This is what the "Regulations on Penalty Questioning" stipulates.
"All the soldiers and civilians are in service.
??????????????????? Those who are able to review and review the affairs of the family, together with civil and military officials, supervisors of students, crown officials, Zhiyin, Chengchai, yin and yang students, doctors, elderly people, and family members.
??????????????????????????????????????????¡
They all ordered to transport charcoal bricks, collect rice and other items to atone for their sins. "
What does that mean?
No matter who you are, except for a few serious crimes such as treason and treason, which must be executed, all other crimes, regardless of whipping, rod, disciple, exile, or death, can be atoneable by paying a prescribed amount of charcoal, bricks, rice and other property. freed.
This regulation is a complete subversion of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and it also means that the Ming Dynasty will become a paradise for the powerful and wealthy. As long as they do not rebel, do not kill their fathers and mothers, they can spend money to atone for whatever they want, including corruption. Anything like that is fine.
¡°Anyway, the money from corruption is definitely enough to atone for one¡¯s sins.
The rest can be used by yourself.
What a bargain.
Such a good emperor is not respected.
Who do you admire?
Do you admire Emperor Hongwu who peeled off the skin and made grass?
These ministers are not stupid.
No matter how much those ministers and literati praised Emperor Hongzhi for his good deeds, the wise emperor of the ages, and the saint who appeared every five hundred years, as long as he was familiar with history.
They can all understand clearly.
The Ming Dynasty died due to lack of financial resources.
The key reason and turning point for the lack of financial funds lies in the Hongzhi Dynasty. Under the wise leadership of Emperor Hongzhi, Ye Qi, the Minister of Household Affairs, reformed the Sino-French law and transferred the benefits of the salt monopoly to Huizhou business interest groups, which led to serious problems. Border defense is ineffective. Civil servants kept asking the emperor to reduce or reduce the amount of money and food in the Jiangnan area to expand the people's strength. Zhu Youtang always approved it again and again, but in fact, who didn't know that the Jiangnan area was the richest and richest.
On the one hand, the salt tax is damaged, and on the other hand, all aspects of tax revenue in the richest places in the country are damaged.
No matter how frugal Emperor Hongzhi is, it¡¯s useless.
It's a pity that this guy is an emperor who is good at women's hands. He is fooled by the civil servants outside and the eunuchs inside. He basically has no opinions of his own. Later, he also wondered why he was so frugal and did what he did. After doing so many things that benefit the people of the world, why is the Ming Dynasty's treasury still so empty?
Then the minister told him that the eunuch was corrupt.
¡°Haha, it¡¯s the eunuch who is embezzling.
How many corrupt eunuchs can there be?
The big head is no longer with the officials and gentry.
"It's a pity that Emperor Hongzhi is stupid.
He really took action against the eunuchs around him and the eunuchs guarding him across the country.
"In the final analysis, eunuchs are just hawks and dogs raised by the royal family. They can be killed if they want. There is no difference between killing them when they are fattened or when they are thin. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot escape the palm of the emperor's hand.
Their existence is more of a check and balance.
And help the emperor collect information.
"Lest the emperor, who can only live in the palace in the capital, become blind, he can only know what the ministers tell him.
Although not all of these eunuchs may be loyal, obedient, and tell the truth, at least some of them tell the truth, which at least allows the emperor to receive some information that is not handed over by officials and know the real situation among the people.
"Now that the guarding eunuchs have been dismissed by Emperor Hongzhi, and the East Factory, West Factory and Jinyiwei are suppressed by civil servants, how much more can he, the emperor, know about the real situation among the people outside?
It¡¯s not what the minister said.
He can only know something.
These stupid behaviors of Emperor Hongzhi.
It directly led to the further decline of imperial power.
The power of civil servants has further increased.
It would be fine if most of these civil servants were good people, and they could be similar to the cabinet system, constitutional monarchy, etc., and transition in a better direction. Unfortunately, most of these civil servants are greedy and treat the country like a large company. Something to poach and make money.
??The right without too many constraints is a tiger.
This is the case with these civil servants.
They will remove the most terrifying knife hanging over their heads, which is the Ming Law.
It's like a wild horse running wild.
Completely lost control.
It can be said that Emperor Hongzhi exchanged the praise of the civil servant group for him at the expense of the future national destiny of the entire Ming Dynasty, and changed the future of the Ming Dynasty through the ages.?'s praise.
But he didn¡¯t understand this until his death.
I really think I am so wise and virtuous.
Qiao Mu originally planned to wait until Emperor Hongzhi died and Emperor Zhengde came to the throne before returning to the palace to implement his plan, but now it seems that some things must be done in advance, and some preparations that have been made must be planned in advance. .
The most important point is to get in touch with Zhu Houzhao and cultivate him with the emperor's mind.
To this end, Qiao Mu specially brought a bionic robot back, disguised the robot as a peerless master, secretly manifested himself in front of Zhu Houzhao at night, accepted him as a disciple, and taught him in accordance with his aptitude, starting from the areas he was interested in.
Train him in the direction he wants.
Of course, this is only part of it.
In addition, Qiao Mu also specially mobilized many insect robots to protect Zhu Houzhao's biological mother, the palace maid Zheng Jinlian who had been hidden in her palace by the Queen Mother Zhou.
Prevent Zheng Jinlian from being killed.
This is also the preparation that Qiao Mu made specifically to return to the palace after the death of Emperor Hongzhi, take control of the palace, and hand over Zhu Houzhao. She saved Zhu Houzhao's biological mother, so Xiao Zhu must give her some face.
As for why it is said that Zheng Jinlian is Zhu Houzhao's biological mother, not the apparent Queen Zhang.
Of course there is a reason for the trees.
The palace is always under her surveillance.
Something dirty happened inside.
How could she not know.
Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang had been married for three years, but they still had no children. The ministers in the court wrote to him to open up harems and have children. However, Emperor Hongzhi did not obey. Instead, he and Empress Zhang began to pray to gods and Buddhas, light incense and pray, and Successfully gave birth to a healthy prince in the fourth year of Hongzhi.
Of course, this is an external statement.
The real situation is that Empress Dowager Zhou forced Emperor Hongzhi to visit the maids in her palace, and successfully got a maid named Zheng Jinlian pregnant. However, at this time, because she did not know whether the child she gave birth to was a boy. Secondly, Empress Zhang was not willing to treat the child of this palace girl as her biological son.
However, as the fourth year of Hongzhi entered, the ministers asked the emperor to draft a draft to enrich the harem, and the memorials for heirs became more and more urgent. Empress Dowager Zhou also said that if she was no longer willing, she must draft a draft to enrich the harem. .
After weighing the two sides, Empress Zhang had no choice but to agree to record the child Zheng Jinlian gave birth to in her name and act as the emperor's legitimate son.
And this child is Zhu Houzhao.
This is also the main reason why Empress Zhang clearly didn¡¯t have any news of her pregnancy in the third year of Hongzhi, and then suddenly announced that she had given birth to a son in the fourth year of Hongzhi, because they hadn¡¯t reached an agreement before, and they didn¡¯t know who the child was. The son is a daughter, so no news has been spread.
If it is true that Queen Zhang is pregnant.
¡°I¡¯m afraid that on the day the pregnancy was confirmed, Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang hurriedly notified the ministers to prevent them from continuing to file memorials to enrich the harem.
How can it be delayed until the child is born?
The news was announced to the public. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
