Chapter 2414: The Hermit Crabs

"The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty for everyone, but it is not the Ming Dynasty."

"If the emperor is gone, there will still be a crown prince, but if the Ming Dynasty is gone, what else will there be?"

Fang Xing was telling Tudou some simple national thoughts. He didn't want his son to have the same moral character as most of his relatives in the future, so he might as well run away as a family. Otherwise, if there is a ghost in the future and he sees his descendants being slaughtered on the grave, he will really become a demon.

"Your Majesty is right. The emperors and officials are farmers who cultivate the land, and the people are the land. If the land is not cultivated, the vegetation will still be lush, but the farmers will starve to death without the land. Do you understand?"

This is to treat the king and his ministers as thieves.

The books written by Fang Xing avoid anyone but his own children, so Tudou has been able to read many books that will cause a stir in the outside world, and his views are probably different from those of ordinary people today.

So he gets it.

But understanding is one thing, understanding and supporting it is another.

Fang Xing saw that he was ignorant and thought that the child was still young, so he said, "Go ahead and play whatever you want during the Chinese New Year."

Tudou resigned, and then Xin Laoqi and Huang Zhong came in.

Huang Zhong has gained some weight and his face is still shiny.

After sitting down, Fang Xing said: "Your Majesty probably wants to bring out the confidence of your relatives, and let them see clearly their own background, whether they are fat-headed or aggressive, and don't forget to be prepared. During this review, the servants may be It’s a tool being used, Lao Qi.”

Xin Laoqi stood up and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely be able to protect our family's prestige."

Fang Xing nodded: "We have many enemies outside, so be careful not to be attacked or tricked."

Xin Laoqi nodded in agreement, and Huang Zhong said: "Uncle, you have just won the privileges of the gentry, and your majesty is going to attack your relatives. Isn't this a little impatient?"

is not that right!

Most people outside felt that the emperor acted as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him, as if he would fall into a bottomless abyss if he was slow.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's start first. At least we can let our relatives know that standing in the right position doesn't mean you can stop shitting."

Standing in line is a science. If you stand in the right place, a pig can become a god.

But if you stand in the wrong place, for example, you used to often run against Zhu Gaochi with others, you will slowly become unlucky after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne.

Most of the relatives have gradually become arrogant and licentious, and they have no ability, but they still want to get ahead, which is stupid.

Except for a few useful military honors, most of them were regarded by the emperor as helpers in quarrels.

Quarrels are also divided into different levels. Of course, most of the scolding in the street is just about trivial matters, while the quarrels between the DPRK and China involve the fate of the country.

Therefore, these quarrel masters naturally feel that they are the best, and secretly connect each other through marriage and other means to form a spider web. Whoever dares to provoke will be webbed over, and then slowly sucked dry.

After the New Year, Fang Xing took Tudou and waited outside the city for Zhang Fu and his party.

"Brother, take care!"

Fang Xing knew that Zhang Fu was also tasked with blocking the pursuers during his trip.

Blackthorn's men went to rescue the captives. If they succeeded, the Halet men would definitely pursue them in shame and anger, and the side walls might even shake.

Therefore, reviewing the troops at the border wall is only a task, and the more important task is to be prepared for the situation.

Zhang Fu said: "The road over there is too far. Unless they want to decide the outcome in a battle, the Harel people will not dare to attack long distances, so they are just prepared."

Now that he was awake, Fang Xing felt relieved.

The cavalry moved away, throwing up some dust.

Fang Xing turned around and saw several young men in brocade robes riding out of the city, but they were wearing thin clothes.

Those few people's faces turned blue due to the cold, but they did not forget to act like celebrities, and then rode away all the way, their backs trembling in the wind.

The breath of spring came so silently.

A year's plan starts with spring, and so does a huge empire.

The first thing he did at the beginning of the dynasty was that the emperor ordered the local officials to keep their eyes on the ground and make preparations for spring plowing, instead of just being a hands-off shopkeeper.

"...If there is a case where people are busy farming and still want to go out for an outing,

Officials who took the opportunity to drink and have fun were exempted on the spot! "

At the first court meeting after the new year, the emperor seemed to have continued the same style as last year and had no intention of saving face for the officials.

"Studying is your duty, but if you become an official, you have to take care of things. If you don't know anything or understand anything, then what do I want you to do? The people have worked hard to pay taxes, so what are you doing to support you? It's not as good as that If you have a dog, you can at least look after your home!”

The emperor is getting more and more mean!

However, Yang Rong believed it deeply and went out to say: "Your Majesty, during spring plowing in previous years, some officials did not distinguish between grains and grains, so they went out to have fun in the name of encouraging plowing. The common people laughed at them behind their backs and made up a lot of stories. , It’s really disrespectful.”

Zhu Zhanji held back his more harsh words and said: "If you don't understand, you should learn. Go to the fields and learn from the old farmers. Don't be afraid of dirtying your clothes and your jade toes."

Ahem!

Yang Shiqi coughed twice, feeling that the emperor had too many opinions on today's officials, which was not a good thing after all.

Fang Xing was also there. He left his duties and said: "Your Majesty, both the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dongchang Jinyiwei can go to make secret visits. There is also another one, the inspector should have this function. But in recent years, the Ming Dynasty's inspector seems to have become It’s useless as a decoration.”

The prosecutor's office is roughly equivalent to the public prosecutor's office in a locality. However, in recent years, the prosecutor's office in various places has fallen behind and has become somewhat of a subordinate to the chief minister.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said in deep agreement: "I will issue an edict to warn the local censors to be indifferent to the emperor. I hate them very much."

The emperor did not even start, nor did he say anything encouraging. He actually used the word "deeply hate" directly, which shows that he really hates those censors who are indifferent to the emperor.

Yang Rong smiled bitterly and drafted the edict. No one in the court objected, so it was considered a success. He waited for the court to be dismissed and issued according to the procedure.

Zhu Zhanji turned his eyes and said: "The Westerners were beaten back, and the Ha Lie people and the meat lovers joined forces to protect themselves. The Ming Dynasty is prosperous today, and the military men have made great contributions!"

In the first court meeting after the New Year, the emperor actually scolded the civil officials and praised the military men.

This is rare!

The military heroes were proud of it. Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Except for the sea, the Ming Dynasty has not fought for a long time. Can you still eat?"

This question was asked to the military heroes.

The crowd was immediately excited.

No, it was excited.

Xu Jingchang was the first to stand up. I don't know if he had a tacit understanding with the emperor, but he was so excited that he almost cried.

"Your Majesty, I have not won several battles. I have been training at home every day, but I have no chance to serve my country!"

Then the military heroes began to come out and express their opinions. Looking at their looks, they clearly hated the sky and the earth for not giving them a chance. They just said that the emperor did not give them a chance, otherwise they would have been able to show their power in foreign lands.

Zhu Zhanji nodded frequently after hearing this, and he seemed very pleased.

After the military heroes calmed down, Zhu Zhanji said: "After a rest during the New Year, you will not be lazy, right?"

After another round of self-praise, Zhu Zhanji said approvingly: "You are really a pillar of the country."

This made people blush, but Fang Xing took a look and saw that even Xu Jingchang stood calmly, as if he was really a pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji said: "It has been a long time since I have fought a war. I want to see if your sons have surpassed their masters. Let's go the day after tomorrow. The sons of each family will gather at the martial arts school. I will also go to see them. As for people... the sons of generals above the fourth rank will go, and relatives will also go. At least let me see their quality and make good use of them."

The excitement retreated like a tide, and the court was like a beach after the tide receded. A group of hermit crabs stretched out their claws from the shells they were living in, trying to find a place to get in.
