Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Chapter 136 Opening Lingyan Pavilion!

(Here is the explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of hard sails and soft sails.)

(The advantages of Western soft sails are that they are strong in wind, can sail against the wind, are flexible, and are suitable for ocean going. The disadvantage is that they require a lot of manpower and are more complicated.)

(The advantage of the Chinese hard sail is that it is simple to operate, but it is difficult to increase the speed, and it is not flexible enough and is not suitable for the ocean. It is only suitable for near-sea cargo transportation.)

(So ​​if you want ocean-going trade, historically speaking, tall and flexible soft sails are the inevitable choice, because Chinese-style hard sails have not continued to develop and have stagnated.)

(There is also the problem of the blueprints of Zheng He’s treasure ship. It is said that Liu Daxia burned it, but in fact he probably just hid it and did not want the emperor to use it.)

(In the "History of the Ming Dynasty" written by Ming Qing, there are extremely detailed Zheng He charts and various technical information, which shows that it has not been lost.)

(The person who really caused the disappearance of charts and technology should be Qianlong, an old man of ten kinds.)

(The above content is not included in the word count of this chapter.)

Just five days later.

As the court begins to function again.

Zhu Youjian could already clearly feel that it was much easier.

But there will be a big meeting today.

Zhu Youjian sat on a chair and looked at the team with less than twenty people left below, but he couldn't help but let out a slow breath.

"It's really a big purge..."

"Forget it, let's take stock of the people we can use first."

"From today on, this court must change its circumstances!"

Although there were a lot fewer people, Zhu Youjian was at least much more pleasing to the eye.

The current chief minister of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, has completely turned to him. He regards the aristocratic family as a cesspit in the hut and dare not touch it at all.

Among the secondary assistants, Shi Fenglai was the main one. He was an eunuch before, but now Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch, treated him with great respect. Naturally, Shi Fenglai was also on his side.

As for other secondary assistants...

After Zhou Yanru was killed, he directly dismissed the remaining few people, leaving their positions free for those who would be useful in the future.

Among the six children.

Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Personnel, was an old minister who was framed by Wei Zhongxian. He reinstated this person before Taizu woke up.

According to what Taizu said, this person is available!

In history, he impeached Duke Mu Changzuo of Guizhou for occupying more than [-] hectares of civilian land.

He has always been the one who takes the lead in fighting external affairs, and he can be regarded as a rare civil servant with backbone.

This is Guo Yunhou, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Although my butt is not clean, it is at least much better than those bastards around me.

Moreover, this person is an old fox who knows the situation in the court very well.

In the past few months, the household department has been cleaned up a lot under his rectification.

Having recognized this, Zhu Youjian was not ready to touch him for the time being.

As for the other works, Huang Jin, the Minister of Rites, is by far the most bizarre among them all.

This person seems to be the kind of person Hai Rui is.

When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he was upright and never vassal.

I heard from Taizu that after this man was defeated in Kyoto, he resolutely came out to assist the monarch of Nanming again.

However, his limited abilities could not turn the tide.

But until the fall of Nanming, he never had any cooperation with the Qing court!

Considered a loyal minister.

Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War...

This person needs to be replaced.

This guy is the leader of the Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party.

If it was just like this, Zhu Youjian wouldn't bother to touch him.

After all, he is really afraid of eunuchs and so on.

But the problem is that Cui Chengxiu doesn't have much ability, and the Ministry of War is in charge of the world's troops.

How could Zhu Youjian, who had fully realized the importance of military power, allow him to continue to be in charge of this position.

Feng Ying, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, can be considered a useful person.

I heard that this person is also extremely upright. Taizu said that this guy would even dare to be tough and gentle in the future.

It can be used as an assistant to influence the cabinet.

Zhang Fengxiang, Minister of Industry, this person...

A little transparent.

Even Taizu said he didn't have much impression of him. He only remembered that he resigned and ran away in the second half of this year.

Fortunately, his position has been reserved for Xu Guangqi anyway.

In addition, Wang Chengen, the leader of the West Factory and the eunuch in charge, Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the East Factory, and Tian Ergeng, the leader of the Jinyi Guards.

Now the court has barely returned to the imperial power.

Zhu Youjian sat in a high position and remained silent.

A pair of eyes kept scanning below.

The officials below all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak easily.

After a while, Zhu Youjian's voice came from above.

"Dear dear friends, this year is the first year of Chongzhen."

"As the saying goes, a good beginning is more important than anything else."

"So I hope to kill fewer people this year."

"I am not a cruel person. As long as my dear friends can do their duty, I can give you the fame and title you want."

What Zhu Youjian said was quite careless.

He was really tired of killing.

Although after knowing his ending in history, he became much more decisive and ruthless.

But essentially, Zhu Youjian didn't like this.

Now that the court is under control, maybe we can try to put away the knife a little bit.

Otherwise, it would not be a good thing if everyone in the court is in danger.

However, although what Zhu Youjian said was good, the officials below did not have much reaction except for agreeing.

Even Wen Tiren looked like he heard something but didn't hear it at the same time.

trust you?

Maybe I will report to Zhongyi Temple tomorrow.

"Tsk...Okay, since all of you, my beloved, have nothing to say, I will say a few more words."

"Today is the first court meeting after the Chongzhen Year. I don't want to use the knife."

"So I give you a chance."

"If you feel that you are weak and cannot be used in a big way, you can always step forward and resign."

"I don't care what you have done before, let's forget about it."

"But I also want to say something ugly here. If you dare to harm the people after retiring from old age and returning to your hometown."

"I will definitely punish you for all your crimes!"

"Similarly, if you feel that you are still useful to the country and the people, then from today onwards you will work hard in your position and you will not engage in corruption or bribery again."

"I will give you the opportunity to display your ambitions and make you a role model for scholars all over the world!"

"If you do a good job, you will not only be able to join the cabinet, but you will also be granted the title of Duke and be admitted to the Loyalty Shrine!"

"I will set up a separate place in the Zhongyi Temple and make it the [Lingyan Pavilion] of my dynasty."

"Same as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there are 24 positions in total."

"All civil servants and military generals have the opportunity to join the cabinet and become famous in history!"

"You only get one chance to choose."

"My companion, light some incense!"

"You have a stick of incense to think about it."

what? !

Zhu Youjian just finished speaking!

All the officials below raised their heads in unison!

Even a thousand-year-old fox like Wen Tiren had a terrifying light in his pupils at this time!

Lingyan Pavilion?

Lingyan Pavilion!

He heard it right!

If you can enter this pavilion, you will die without regrets!

Li Chen, who was sitting on the beam of the main hall, looked at the sudden change in the atmosphere below.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

Although Confucianism has become decadent, there is one principle that has penetrated into the hearts of all scholars.

That is, Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, and was granted the title of prime minister and entered the history books.

As scholars, they know better than anyone how prestigious the 24 people in Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty are.

Who wouldn’t want such a great fame!

Li Chen grasped this point and once again asked Zhu Youjian to draw a pie for them.

A piece of cake that is enough to drive all readers crazy!
