Chapter 531: Does Ming Dynasty really exist?
Zhu Yijun was a little surprised, surprised by Ming's ability to accept new things.
Roaring steam engines are not regarded as monsters emitting black smoke, water and fertilizer are not regarded as strange powers and chaotic gods, large-scale mining is not regarded as destroying dragon veins, and steam engines roar from near the imperial tomb. However, it did not disturb the ancestors. The fast sailing ship was not regarded as the centrifugal force of the great unification but was regarded as a weapon for maritime trade. The captive livestock was not regarded as rebelling against Tiangang. It was quickly accepted by the border people. Planting grass instead of food in the ground was a very strange production, but it was quickly accepted by people.
It’s funny to say that the way the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty determined that water fertilizer is fertilizer is because it smells as bad as compost. To be precise, it smells worse than compost. Therefore, the fact that water fertilizer is fertilizer does not matter. It did not arouse doubts among the scholar-bureaucrats.
When Zhu Yijun came to the Ming Dynasty, he was given a wake-up call by Wang Dalong to assassinate the king. Soon, because he did not satisfy the interests of the Jin Party, Zhang Siwei burned down the palace. He Yijun was so bold that Zhu Yijun personally led the assassination of the Yicheng Prefecture in Xishan. The soldiers rushed to kill each other, which made Zhu Yijun develop the habit of showing leniency to the enemy. As these new things continued to appear, Zhu Yijun was always vigilant.
But Ming Dynasty accepted new things very quickly. Even the humble Confucians did not shout about dragon veins, monsters, or disturbing the imperial tombs, but about soot.
The soot problem is not a rhetoric made up by cheap Confucians. Talking about this issue is also based on practical experience. After all, the soot produced by Xishan coal washing, coking and steelmaking is real, making the Ming Dynasty's haze disaster a reality. Normally, every autumn and winter season, every household must close its doors and windows, otherwise it will be a layer of black dust, and you must wear a mask when going out.
Zhu Yijun attributed this to the simple pragmatism prevalent in the Ming Dynasty. Li Chengliang's bombardment of the Dragon King Temple is a reflection of this pragmatism.
The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty also showed this kind of pragmatism. Zhu Yijun wrote to the princes of the Ming Dynasty to ask for their opinions on the relocation order. The vassal kings were enthusiastic, and while supporting the decision, they paid the most attention to The only question is when can I move to Beijing.
Zhu Yijun was very frank and told many palaces that moving the vassal state would mean destroying the vassal state. In the future, he would no longer seal the vassal state in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. After coming to the capital, he still had to abide by the vassal ban and could no longer condone and shelter the cunning and cunning people. They can no longer secretly send their farmland to the royal family. They will also impose strict restrictions on the clan. In the future, they will further carry out raids to control the number of sects and vassals.
The system of descending raids means that, except for the princes, successive generations of descendants will descend. After the fifth generation, they will no longer record clan ultimatums and no longer enjoy clan privileges. Although the court did not explicitly stipulate this, it has been implemented for a long time. It has received 21,796 vassals and registered clan clans. There were 62,732 people in the vassal, and there were more than 100,000 registered vassals during the Longqing period.
But Zhu Yijun also promised that overseas vassals would be implemented. The newly opened overseas colonies of the Ming Dynasty would be vassalized after they were safe and stable; the emperor would give a sufficient salary, and King Zheng's annual salary was four hundred shi. , the princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty, taking Prince Zheng's Mansion as an example, paid a full salary, and the salary was determined once a year; the ten princes' mansions had schools, and they could make a living on their own if they were successful in their studies without being registered in the clan, and they could gain fame through the imperial examination;
There are restrictions but there are also benefits. Zhu Yijun explained the reason for doing this very frankly.
Zhu Yijun frankly told the princes from all over the place, and the princes from all over the place responded with letters expressing their support. They wanted to quickly build the ten kings' cities and palaces. They didn't want to stay there for a day. Zhang Juzheng's examination method was not carried out on the payment of stipends. After passing the exam, many princely palaces are no longer able to maintain it.
Everything sounds nice and he supports the emperor's decision, but Zhu Yijun is still a little worried. Even though countless people have told Zhu Yijun that the vassal vassal does not have the ability to rebel now, but when King Yan rebelled, he did not have the ability to rebel. He had the ability to rebel, and he had eight hundred soldiers in his hands, so he rebelled, and finally won, and became the emperor in Beijing.
"I hope, I hope the clan can make the right choice." Zhu Yijun said with emotion.
Zhang Juzheng said with great confidence: "Prince Zheng's Mansion moved from Prince De's Mansion to Ten Kings City before the Chinese New Year. The whole family of Prince Zheng's Mansion is extremely satisfied with Ten Kings City. Once the news comes out, the vassal kings everywhere will make the right choice. , It’s not harsh, but honorable.”
“Does your Majesty have a copy of “Imperial Records” in your palace?”
Zhang Juzheng asked about an old book. The book is a collection of criticism written by Zhu Yuanzhang in the 20th year of Hongwu. The content of the criticism is that Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, angrily criticized the vassal king for being lawless.
It is all about the beastly behavior of the Ming Dynasty vassal kings outside, and family scandals should not be made public. However, this "Yu Zhi Fei Lu" was widely circulated, and there was a copy in the Yongle period.
"Yu Zhi Ji Fei Lu" records the viciousness of the major vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty and their murderous behavior. For example, King Zhu Bo of Qi killed 482 of his commanding Qianhu captains and their family members for no reason, and Zhu Zi, the old king of Batan, forced his sergeants to kill tigers, etc. Wild beasts, fighting beasts without weapons. Later, Tan King Zhu Zi was summoned to the capital by Zhu Yuanzhang because he was too ridiculous and implicated in the Hu Weiyong case. Tan King Zhu Zi was so frightened that he burned the palace to the ground and burned himself to death in the palace. .
Most of the evil deeds of the vassal kings recorded in "Yu Zhi Ji Fei Lu" are consistent with other historical materials such as Ming Shi Lu, and it is basically believed that they were written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
The vassal ban began to be implemented during the Yongle period, which was also related to the excessive misbehavior of the vassal kings during the Hongwu period.
"Indeed, I have seen it." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Even Emperor Cheng Zuwen and Prince Ning are among them."
In the non-records of the popular version, it is There is no black material about King Yan and King Weining of Daning, because it was deleted during the Yongle period. Zhu Di was the emperor, and King Ning had the merit of serving the dragon. Naturally, he had to maintain one or two and deleted them together. However, the stories in the palace Originally, but the record was very clear, the biggest scandal about King Yan and King Ning was that they were recruiting troops.
King Ning recruited troops to appease the Hu people outside the Great Wall, and appointed Hu officials to form cavalry.
Zhu Di asked North Korea for horses, but was reported by the North Korean envoy. When Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he was extremely angry and asked Yanzhen that 170,000 horses were not enough for you. You also asked North Korea for horses. What do you want?
"If the Prince's Mansion had followed the Ji Fei Lu when it cut down the feudal vassals, there wouldn't have been so many troubles. It would be unwise to criticize the King of Hunan for no reason." Zhang Juzheng reminded His Majesty, It was unreasonable for Lord Jianwen to cut down the vassal clan in the first place.
Zhang Juzheng's words are already very polite. It is polite to say that Jianwenjun has no political wisdom. In fact, what Zhang Juzheng wants to say is that Jianwenjun is really stupid and bad.
During the Jianwen period, the vassal king who died was Zhu Bai, King of Hunan.
Zhu Bai did not do evil, and the greatest joy in his life was cultivating Taoism. In the 21st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Bai to the capital and gave him a good scolding because Zhu Bai practiced Taoism and could not have children.
Zhu Bai's second favorite hobby is to suppress bandits. He and the King of Chu plowed the banditry in Huguang. These are his two major hobbies.
Zhu Bai had no descendants. According to the inheritance law of the Ming Dynasty, the country would be eliminated after Zhu Bai had no children. Therefore, Zhu Bai was the most harmless in the wave of vassal reduction during the Jianwen period, because once he died, Hunan The palace was naturally destroyed, so why did it need to be cut?
But in the first year of Jianwen, Jianwen Lord Zhu Yunwen still sent troops to Jingzhou, and even disguised themselves as a timber caravan and unexpectedly surrounded the Prince of Xiang's Mansion.
Zhu Bai angrily set the palace on fire, rode a white horse and jumped into the fire. Everyone in the palace followed, and no one survived.
Zhu Yunwen's announcement that King Xiang was rebellious is equivalent to Yan Song and Xu Jie's announcement: The most corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty is Hai Rui!
As long as the King of Xiang did many evil things, the person who died was really an uncle who did many evil things. However, Zhu Yunwen named them one by one according to the "Imperial Records", which was to reduce the harm caused by the feudal king to the local area. There won't be so many things.
Zhu Yunwen refused to deal with so many beasts and insisted on forcing a harmless King Xiang to death. After King Xiang committed suicide, all the princes immediately understood that Lord Jianwen was planning to kill all his uncles indiscriminately. .
Zhu Zaiyu, the eldest son of Prince Zheng, is also the emperor's uncle. Although he is not a relative and even played in the fifth server, how is the emperor's uncle Zhu Zaiyu treated? The dean of the Royal Academy of Art and Science can get gold coins from the stingy emperor indiscriminately for various specious reasons. Who in the Ming Dynasty can take money from the emperor indiscriminately, and easily start with a million taels!
Zhu Zaiyu was granted the title of Prince and lived in the Forbidden Garden. His Majesty was only two steps away.
Every time His Majesty has any major events, he will bring his uncle Zhu Zaiyu to attend, to show his close friendship, and he will always reward him during the holidays.
Zhu Yijun has no choice when facing the current Zhu Zaiyu. Every time Zhu Yijun can only say: Uncle Emperor, look at the money that is so vain.
The Prince of Yan rebelled because Lord Jianwen made it clear that he would kill all his uncles without distinction, even if you have no children; the King of Han rebelled because of Zhu Di’s original promise; the King of Ning rebelled because Emperor Wuzong had no back.
The Ming Dynasty did have a stage for the feudal kings to rebel, but it was not without any preconditions. It was for no reason. Zhu Zaiyu’s treatment was a banner for the emperor to express his friendship, which was very important for the stability of various places. The uneasy heart of the feudal king had a very powerful effect.
King Zheng has entered Beijing and moved into the Ten Kings City. He is very satisfied with the many facilities in the Ten Kings City.
The case of King Yan is a living example. When others accuse you of rebelling, you'd better be really rebelling and have the strength to rebel.
The humble Confucians of the Ming Dynasty dared to scold the emperor with their noses and faces. What else could they not dare to do? The cheap Confucians of the Ming Dynasty never criticized Qi Jiguang. Even when Qi Jiguang was on an expedition, the Confucian scholars were so angry that they did not dare to name or mention him.
Because Feng Guo Gong Qi Jiguang really had the strength to rebel, the cheap Confucians always praised Qi Jiguang for his unspeakable loyalty.
Zhu Yijun issued an edict to move Henan to vassal status. This edict arrived in Henan on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Ling Yunyi, the governor of Shandong and Henan, received the edict. The eunuch who came to Henan this time was Li Yougong. The third person in the army, this move to the feudal vassal is of great importance and cannot be missed.
"Prince Zheng's Mansion has long been empty. Zhou, Tang, Yi and Zhao have the largest number of people among the four princes' palaces, including Kaifeng. Prince Zhou's Mansion has 5,235 people. If you want to move, start with the most difficult one." Ling Yunyi's eyes showed a fierce light, he What this person likes most is chewing hard bones, but chewing soft bones is boring!
Ling Yunyi only has 1,500 guest soldiers. The number of registered members of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty is more than that of Ling Yunyi's guest soldiers. Moreover, the matter involves the clan, so it is very troublesome to deal with it. If you are not careful, it will be a big problem. This is a royal family, and it will cause trouble. What's not good is that the nine tribes will be punished for their grave crime.
"We will use force if we can this time." Li Yougong said: "After arriving at the palace, our family will go in first to declare the decree. If our family dies, it will not be too late to take action."
Li Yougong's identity was the emperor's messenger and an angel. If he died in the palace of the King of Zhou, it would mean that the King of Zhou actually rebelled, so it would be appropriate and reasonable to suppress the rebellion.
The emperor gave Li Yougong a warning, telling him not to irritate the princes in Henan, but to understand them with emotion and reason, to explain clearly the interests involved, to explain the treatment clearly, and to have a deep understanding of the various vassals. The thoughts and demands of the kings. If they are really unwilling to move to the vassal, they must understand the reasons for their resistance.
Zhu Yijun showed great patience in the order to move the vassal. Starting from Zhu Zaiyu's move to Beijing, and then to Prince Zheng's Mansion, with little effort, he not only had the intention of moving the vassal to eliminate the vassal, but also did not I want too much to cause trouble for the feudal lord to rebel. This is a typical case of wanting and wanting at the same time.
Of course, if you really refuse to move the vassal, you can discuss it many times. If you rebel in order to resist the emperor's order, then Zhu Yijun will not take it lightly.
When we talk, we should talk carefully. If we really want to fight, Zhu Yijun can only play the card of sharp soldiers from the Beijing camp, and the imperial court also has a little force.
Ling Yunyi swaggered through the city with 1,500 guest soldiers, heading towards Prince Zhou's Mansion. Prince Zhou's Mansion was much richer than Prince Zheng's Mansion, but it was also limited. The water in the moat was smelly and no one took care of it. The soldiers quickly surrounded the palace. After Li Yougong showed the letter, the Tielin army opened the city gate.
“What’s going on with this door?” Li Yougong looked at the door in front of him blankly.
Tie Linjun, who was guarding the palace, sighed and said: "It broke down during the Hongzhi period. I asked for money to repair it, but the court didn't give it. It has been delayed until now."
Half of the gate of Prince Zhou's Mansion can be opened and closed normally, while the other half is supported by a wooden frame behind it. It is obviously broken, but it has not been repaired, so it can only be supported like this.
Nine out of ten rooms in Prince Zheng's Mansion have collapsed. Prince Zhou's Mansion is better. Although it is not dilapidated and deserted, you can still see that it is overgrown with weeds and lacks repairs. "The last repairs were made by the Yellow River flood in the seventh year of Tianshun. The Prince of Zhou's Mansion was flooded. After that repair, it was never repaired again." Tielin Jun let Angel enter the city gate.
Li Yougong had just walked past Xiao Qiang, which is the Meridian Gate of the outer city wall. When he reached the Long Pavilion, he heard a shout: "Is it an angel? The angel has finally arrived. !”
Li Yougong looked up and saw a figure on the Wufeng Tower at the top of the inner city wall.
The King of Zhou, who was wearing a military uniform, waved his hand, then ran down the Wufeng Tower and disappeared on the city wall.
The Ming Dynasty's vassal ban was not to ban the outer city, but the inner city. In other words, the vassal king was the vassal queen, and he could not enter the inner city gate without an edict. The real gate cannot go out without taking two steps. If he goes too far, he will be punished and often imprisoned by Fengyang's high walls. Zhu Zaiyu's father, Prince Zheng Zhu Hounan, reported to the Taoist Master Xuanxiu and was thrown into the high walls for fifteen years.
The inner city gate slowly opened, and Li Yougong walked in.
After the already old Zhou Wang Zhu Zaicheng waited for Li Yougong to step into the Duanli Gate, he grabbed Li Yougong and asked eagerly: "Your Majesty finally remembered that our vassal king is here? What about the old boy Zheng Wang?" Because I have a good son, I can escape from confinement earlier than us old bones! When should we set off? "
Walking the dog, playing with birds, fighting with crickets, and playing tricks! Such good days are coming soon!
Zhu Zaicheng, the old man, took the prince of Zhou with him. He was really full of expectations. This sincerity did not seem to be hypocritical.
"Let's set off today, don't waste a moment, hurry up, hurry up." Zhou Wang Zhu Zaicheng was still urging.
Li Yougong was also a little confused by this enthusiasm. Governor Ling Yunyi was besieging the city outside, but in the palace, he was so eager to move the vassal state to the capital. Who was advocating moving the vassal state to Beijing?
Li Yougong had no choice but to say to Zhu Zaicheng: "The King of Zhou accepts the decree."
Zhu Zaicheng then slapped his forehead and said: "Ah, forget this, accept the decree and accept the decree."
The edict is very long. Zhu Yijun made it very clear why he wanted to move the vassal state. The main reason was the conflict between people and land. If the vassal state was not moved, the local gentry and gentry would send them to the palace. The Ming Dynasty would have perished in the long run, and everyone would suffer losses. Damage, if the Ming Dynasty died, the sects and vassals would not end well. The imperial edict talked about contradictions, but King Zhou didn't care about these at all. He only cared about when to move.
When he heard that it would take three days to prepare, King Zhou was obviously a little disappointed.
"It's okay, it's okay. After waiting for so many years, it's not impossible to wait for three more days. You can wait." Zhu Zai grabbed his son Zhu Suqin from behind and said, "Son, wait for three more days and we will go out. "
"Dad, are there really many, many people and cars outside?" Twenty-year-old Zhu Suqin said in confusion.
Zhu Zaicheng said a little confused: "I don't know either."
"I'm just like you. I've been living in the palace since I was a child. It's just a small place and I've never been out. The same is true for your grandfather, and the same is true for your grandfather's grandfather. We've been staying in this palace for generations. What's going on outside? , Grandpa You didn’t tell me either.”
Li Yougong’s eyelids jumped when he heard it!
He finally knew why King Zhou was so eager!
I was born here in this life, and I will only walk out of this Duanlimen on the day of death. This is the case in every life. This is not a royal palace, it is clearly a prison. The place where they live in all their lives is just Within these four gates.
People are the sum total of social relations, but the social relations of Zhu Zaicheng and Zhu Suqin are only limited to this Sifang City. The social relations are not simple, but isolated from the world. Tenants and slaves have been there all their lives. Servants, and these princely palaces have been isolated from the outside world for generations.
Zhu Suqin said very confidently: "I think so, I heard the maids who entered the palace said that there are really many people and cars outside."
The emperor was worried about the vassal king. During the rebellion, the vassal king was worried that the emperor would renege on his word and promised to move the vassal to the capital, but suddenly stopped moving. After waiting and waiting, he finally received His Majesty's mercy after the new year.
The old boy, King Zheng, scolded Taoist Master Xuanxiu and was imprisoned within a high wall. At least he managed to travel far away, to Fengyang, but since the Zhou Palace was established again in the Yongle period, , I will never go out again for the rest of my life. Is there any difference between being locked up behind a high wall and being locked up in a palace? It doesn't seem to make any difference.
Li Yougong left the palace and explained the situation to Ling Yunyi, who also looked confused.
Putting yourself in someone else's shoes is actually very difficult to do. The emperor, Zhang Juzheng, Ling Yunyi, Li Yougong, and other officials in the court were all worried that the palace would not return to Beijing. However, they did not know that the Ming dynasty prohibited people from leaving the country. The gates are terrible.
Even though the future of entering the capital is uncertain and we don’t know what the emperor will do, it is still not a pity if he is willing to go out and at least see the outside world. For Zhu Zaicheng and Zhu Suqin, they must first determine one thing. That is whether Ming Dynasty really exists.
They stayed in the palace from birth to death. Throughout their lives, for them, the existence of the Ming Dynasty was just hearsay. They had never seen mountains or rivers. Everything in the book For Zhu Zaichenghou and Zhu Suqin, everything is just the words in the book and other people's words.
The white-haired King of Zhou, the Ming Dynasty I have seen in my life, Zhu Changzhi, who is not yet two years old, has seen a lot. Zhu Changzhi often leans on the driver's window to ask questions, and follows a hundred thousand people. Why is the same.
Does Ming Dynasty really exist?
When the car drove slowly out of the Zhou Palace, this question finally had a definite answer. It existed. When the car drove through the streets of Kaifeng Mansion, the streets were full of people. The Ming Dynasty existed. ; When passing the Yellow River, they saw the Yellow River still frozen in early spring, the Ming Dynasty existed; when they saw the Taihang Mountains in the distance, they saw the mountains for the first time, the Ming Dynasty existed.
The Ming Dynasty is real, the emperor is real, everything is real.
The chariots of the vassal kings of Henan Province entering the capital entered the capital on the 27th of the first lunar month and went directly to the Ten Kings City.
There are still feudal bans in the Ten Kings Castle, but they are feudal bans in the Ten Kings Castle. There are no bans in the royal castle, and if you have reasonable reasons, you can also apply to go to places outside the royal castle.
"So, for the Ming Dynasty clan, the relocation order also abolished the slave status? Is this the freedom of the clan?" Zhu Yijun was a little confused when he watched the long car drive into the Ten Kings City. asked blankly.
Ten Kings City and Beidaying are close to each other. Zhu Yijun stood in Beidaying and watched the vassal kings enter the capital. Before, the vassal princes repeatedly expressed their support for the imperial decree, but Zhu Yijun didn't really believe it. Until now, Zhu Yijun finally believed it. .
Although they lost their fiefdoms, they gained freedom. This price was acceptable to all the feudal kings, because before that, for all the feudal kings, their fiefdoms were also illusory. They exchanged things that did not exist for a certain degree of freedom.
Even though this freedom has many restrictions, it is still freedom.
“At the beginning, Hou Yu Zhao had a memorial, saying that the county king and below were allowed to make a living on their own. In today’s situation, and then think about the method proposed by Hou Yu Zhao, it turns out that there is a reason why the decree can be carried out. Yes, Hou Yu Zhao still has something." Zhu Yijun remembered the story of Hou Yu Zhao and others going against the trend in the first year of Wanli.
Feng Bao shook his head and said: "At that time, Hou Yuzhao was just trying to make a wise move out of a hurry. He just hit the right spot. At that time, he had no practical experience, and he only came up with wonderful pens by accident."
Be able to say When civil servants spoke ill of him, Feng Bao would never say good things. He could actually say that Hou Yuzhao was extremely talented and had a sincere heart, so he had fantastic ideas. But he did not. Based on reality, he said that Hou Yuzhao had Without practical experience, a blind cat meets a dead mouse.
Now Hou Yuzhao is the governor of Liaodong. The promotion of Liaodong Dusi to the Chief Secretary of the first-level administrative region is in progress in an orderly manner. Li Chengliang has maintained a high degree of cooperation throughout the process. Li Chengliang thinks that he will work until death, and his son Li Rusong led the Beijing camp and tried to create a duke for the old Li family.
This was the way the British Duke followed. Zhang Fu's father died in the Jing Dynasty, and Zhang Fu was granted the title of Marquis. Then Zhang Fu made numerous meritorious deeds and became the British Duke, with a bright future ahead of him. Li Chengliang is not yet clear about the ambition of being a feudal prince, regardless of hereditary succession, and insisting on becoming the king of barbarians.
“Let’s go to the Ten Kings City.” Zhu Yijun thought about it and planned to go to the Ten Kings City.
The layout of the Ten Kings City is different from that of Beitucheng. The Ten Kings City is an irregular bastion. The moat only has ditches and no water. The people stationed in the Ten Kings City are sharp soldiers from the Beijing camp. Bagua is the pattern, with the outer Bagua and the inner Liangyi. The prince and below live in the outer Bagua, while the prince lives within the inner Liangyi.
The arrival of Zhu Yijun was actually a bit sudden and caused some trouble. The five kings of Henan Province gathered in the Ten Kings City. It was time to clean up. When Zhu Yijun arrived, everyone had to put down what they were doing and come to His Majesty. Come and see me.
"I pay homage to your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty." The five princes brought many princes to the ceremony.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "No courtesy, no courtesy, King Zhou, are you satisfied with the Ten Kings City?"
"Satisfied, satisfied." Zhu Zaicheng nodded repeatedly Said: "The pillars in that room are harder than stones. The chief minister told me that this thing will not collapse, it will not collapse, and the windows are bright and clean, with glass on the windows, very good, very good."
Several lords stated the reasons for their satisfaction, each with their own satisfaction, some were satisfied with the living environment, some were satisfied with the school, some were satisfied that people became respectful, and some were satisfied that they no longer had to pay for food, rice, oil and salt. Headache.
The servants became respectful, which everyone agreed with, because before they entered the capital, the servants were very bold, and the vassal kings could not do anything to them anyway, but now that they have arrived in the capital, it is different.
Zhu Yijun asked the feudal lords to go down and do their own things. He walked around the Ten Kings City. I have to say that the Dingjian construction project supervised by Wang Chonggu was really great. The entire Ten Kings City was magnificent. It's grand, even a bit more grand than Zhu Yijun's Tonghe Palace.
Outside the Ten Kings City is the Royal Institute of Technology of the Ming Dynasty. Tomorrow is the official opening day of the Institute of Technology.
Compared with the smooth implementation of the feudal transfer order, the enrollment of the Royal Institute of Technology was not so smooth. The school was originally scheduled to start on the 16th, but it was postponed to the 24th.
The main issue is the affiliation issue. The Imperial Institute of Technology hopes to bring the Royal Institute of Technology under the supervision of the Ministry of Rites, that is, the Royal Institute of Technology and the Imperial Institute of Technology will be established simultaneously, or to be more clear, the Royal Institute of Technology will be renamed Daming Institute of Technology. .
The Imperial Academy is a research institute and the emperor's personal weapon, while the Polytechnic Institute is a school and a public tool.
This caused some controversy, but Zhu Yijun was very tough in the end and did not place it under the Ministry of Rites alongside the Imperial College, but under the Internal Affairs Bureau.
