Wanli Youming

Chapter 596 The Emperor's Educational Crown Prince Confiscated His Home for 3 Silver!

Chapter 596: The prince of the Imperial Religion ransacked his house and got 3000 million taels of silver!

In the winter of the 18th year of Wanli, the East Palace.

The prince was preparing to go to Wenhua Hall for class that day, but suddenly found a book dropped on the ground in front of his bed, and it appeared brightly in front of his eyes.

The prince picked up the book out of curiosity and read aloud: "A poem about the plum blossom in the golden pedestal?"

Yang Rong, the eunuch who was in charge of accompanying the prince, also heard the prince's words outside the house. He was so frightened that he lost his true soul, and ran over quickly. He knelt down in front of the prince, stretched out his hands and laughed, and said, "My Young master, you can't read this book, so give it to your servant!"

"Why can't you see it?"

The prince asked in a hurry.

Yang Rong held it in for a long time before he finally uttered a sentence and said: "Because this book is not suitable for young masters to read now."

"What qualifications do you, a slave, have to say that I can't watch?"

the prince asked.

Yang Rong hurriedly apologized, and then said anxiously: "But young master, he is really not suitable!"

"I don't plan to watch it either."

"Because my father showed me this book, I didn't think it was good-looking."

"However, I'm just curious. Why did this book suddenly appear here? I would never steal some miscellaneous books from Father Emperor's study. Besides, this is not Father Father's book. The paper is better."

The prince spoke at this time.

Yang Rong was very embarrassed after hearing this.

He didn't expect that the emperor had already shown the book to the prince.

But then, the prince's words made him feel scared again.

"what!"

"Why is there Journey to the West?"

"No, it's not Wu Ben, it's been reformed, it didn't say that refining elixir can lead to longevity"

The prince then saw another set of books on the floor next to his bed.

"who is it?!"

Yang Rong became even more anxious at this time and shouted back in a hurry.

Immediately, Yang Rong asked again loudly: "Who put these books on the will and temperament of bad people in the market on purpose here, harming both my lord and our family?!"

At this moment, Liao Qin, the eunuch accompanying the prince, came over and said, "Eunuch calm down, this kind of matter should not be publicized, so as not to affect the young master's impression in the hearts of the courtiers, and we will not be able to bear this crime even if we die!"

After hearing this, Yang Rong nodded and said: "You are right, but the person who secretly threw this kind of book into the master's room is too despicable. He clearly wants to hurt people!"

"It's not that I want to harm anyone. After all, if the young master comes into contact with anything, we will keep an eye on it for the emperor at any time."

"In my opinion, some people think that I like the content in it, especially the "Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua". From now on, the emperor thinks that the young master is good because of these things, and since then he has disliked the young master, and has the heart to abolish the prince."

Liao Qin said.

Yang Rong glanced at Liao Qin, then nodded: "Then who would leave this thing here to frame us for nothing?"

Liao Qin said: "Who knows! We can only report it truthfully."

……

"What did you say?"

"In the prince's dormitory, "Jin Ping Mei Ci Hua" and "Journey to the West" appeared?"

After Zhu Yijun returned to Qinzheng Palace after discussing with Shen Shixing the arrangements for the prince's education, Tian Yi reported the latest incident to him.

Tian Yi hurriedly handed over the book: "Please take a look, the emperor, this is stolen goods."

Zhu Yijun took it, flipped it casually a few times, and said with a sneer, "This is to make my prince addicted to beauty or things about gods and demons, and also to make me feel suspicious of the prince."

“This kind of book, if no one guides it, it is easy to get addicted to the superficial meaning.”

Qi Jiguang said something at this time.

Shen Shixing also followed suit: "It is also easy to use to frame people." "Fortunately, I had expected it a long time ago, and I took the initiative to tell my prince these novels in advance, and also told my prince what is reflected behind the Jin Ping Mei. The sickness of society and the darkness of power implied by Journey to the West; unless my prince's qualifications are too poor, he will only think of evil in the world when he reads these two books."

Zhu Yijun started talking at this time, and then said: "But this matter needs to be investigated closely, and it is necessary to find out who is using such despicable means behind the scenes. He thought that he could not control my prince to become the king of his ideals, so I sent him to the palace. Indulging in sensuality and worshiping Buddha and worshiping immortals, alienating the royal family, is really far-reaching, and it is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao if it is not strictly investigated!"

Tian Yi bowed his hands and said yes.

Zhu Yijun then walked out of the palace, looked at the snow-capped palace walls, and began to think deeply.

He had to admit that, as Shen Shixing said, because most of the social structure of the Ming Dynasty was still composed of landlords, he did not want the emperor to use imperial power to incite most of the emerging classes to change the social structure in the name of advocating new rites. The forces of the old party still exist, and they still refuse to give up.

Therefore, some people are still thinking about influencing the future prince.

Unless one day.

In the economic society of the Ming Dynasty, landlords no longer accounted for the majority, or in other words, the landlord economy was no longer the main economy, but a commodity economy.

Only when that day comes, the old party will not have such a huge power, nor will the old party continue to appear in the Ming Dynasty because of the continuous development and growth of owner-peasants and becoming new landlords.

At that time, they will actively ask the emperor to expand.

And that day is clearly not here yet.

Therefore, there are still old party forces trying to influence the prince. If the prince cannot be made the ideal king in the hearts of the traditional old party scholar-bureaucrats, he will not hesitate to turn him into a foolish king who only knows how to indulge in wine and sex, or let the current emperor mistakenly think that the prince will become like that people.

"As the master expected, the old party has a wicked heart!"

Zhu Yijun said something at this time.

Shen Shixing and Qi Jiguang looked at each other, then raised their hands and said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty predicted it in advance, otherwise, I am afraid that the prince will really suffer a big loss."

"This is really hard to guard against. Now it seems that the only possibility is that someone from the inner court secretly placed this thing next to His Highness."

"But now it's just a few books, I really don't know what to put in the future, Your Majesty, just kill all the people around His Highness first!"

Qi Jiguang, who has always been strict in governing the army, doesn't mind solving the problem by exterminating his body, so he directly suggested that the emperor clean up the people around the prince indiscriminately.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and said: "Governing a country is different from running an army. The crimes and punishments must be equal to prevent them. If we kill them all directly, I am afraid that those who will be transferred to the prince's side will choose not to report the matter again when they find out about it again. They even deliberately hide each other to protect themselves, which is not good!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"At this time, not only can't we kill, but we have to reward those who take the initiative to expose the matter before the evidence is found."

As Shen Shixing said, he said: "Let's promote these people and dismiss them on the grounds of reward!"

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then told the eunuch Huang Xun, the supervisor of ceremonies, "Do as Master Shen said, and promote these people as soon as possible."

Zhu Yijun then looked at Tian Yi again: "At the same time, Dongchang is secretly keeping an eye on these people!"

Huang Xun and Tian Yi bowed their hands and said yes.

Zhu Yijun did not forget to remind him at this time: "You officials have done embarrassing things many times. We can't make another mistake this time, otherwise we will really have to clean toilets and serve others."

Huang Xun and Tian Yi hurriedly knelt down: "The slaves don't dare! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if this happens again, the slaves will kill you if you dare!"

"It's good to have such determination!"

After Zhu Yijun said that, he looked at Shen Shixing and said, "Chess is outside the game. On the surface, these things are just some trivial tricks against the prince, but the root cause is that the big family with a lot of fertile land in the world still misses the old ceremony. It is an era in which we can arbitrarily cut down on the small people and increase their wealth, so we must turn the development of Luzon into a new opportunity to enrich the country and strengthen the army and benefit the people as soon as possible, so that fewer and fewer people miss that era!"

Shen Shixing said: "What Your Majesty said is that the Planning and Strategy Department is already formulating relevant policies for the development of Luzon, and the Department of Branches is also beginning to allocate funds. Now we only need to wait for the emigration to open mines and even increase commercial ports after the house raid is completed."

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then asked: "How about the rich families along the coast who colluded with the Western Yi people and ransacked their homes?"

Shen Shixing replied: "A total of 300 million taels of silver have been copied, more than [-] hectares of fertile land, more than [-] shops and workshops, more than [-] dingkou of domestic slaves, and two thousand taels of other silver. There are more than ten thousand taels."

"It's really rich!"

Zhu Yijun couldn't help sighing, and then looked at Qi Jiguang: "I remember that there is not so much silver in North Korea's treasury."

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, there are quite a few rich families along the coast that are no worse than many powerful clans."

"And this is the result of continuous restructuring and restraint of tyranny since Mu Miao came to the throne. If it had not been reformed, I really don't know who would rule the world today."

Qi Jiguang said solemnly at this time.
