Looking at the Yongding Gate in front of him, Wu Zongrui suddenly felt heroic in his heart.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Wu Zongrui, who came to Beijing to take the exam, entered the capital from Yongding Gate and took part in the general examination and the palace examination. That time he succeeded, passed the palace examination, and became a second-ranked Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty. This time he entered the capital, and he also rushed to take the exam.

But the question is how to govern and stabilize the world, and how to make the new dynasty that is about to be established stand proudly on top of the world.

Wu Zongrui has no retreat. As a time traveler, he must succeed. He will never let that dark moment appear hundreds of years later. The torrent of history is so vast that it is his that allows the Chinese nation to stand at the forefront of the torrent of history.

responsibility.

No one is perfect. Wu Zongrui knows that although he is a person who has traveled through time, he is not a god. He also hopes to have fun, and there is also inertia in his bones. Maybe when he came to the throne, he worked conscientiously for the people of the world and was strict with himself, but time

As he grows up and achieves certain results, some bad emotions will definitely appear. If there are no system constraints and no reminders from others, those bad things in his bones will be exposed and manifested.

This is human nature and cannot completely control itself.

For ordinary people, these problems would not be a big deal, but for Wu Zongrui, who controls the world, if such problems occur, the impact will be huge and the consequences are unpredictable.

Therefore, in Wu Zongrui's view, establishing rules and systems is the first thing to do. These rules and systems not only restrain the officials in the court and the people of the world, but also restrain the emperor and the royal family.

As for institutional innovation, Wu Zongrui will pay special attention to it. It is indispensable to keep pace with the times, and it is definitely not advisable to stick to dogma.

It was almost the time of application. Zeng Yongzhong, Liao Wenru, Liu Ning and others who were standing in front knew Wu Zongrui's temper. They did not greet Wu Zongrui on a large scale outside the city, but were on tight alert.

It was quite quiet outside Yongding Gate. Most of the officials and people in the capital, which had experienced great changes in succession, were very cautious and did not dare to make any mistakes. Although there was a force in the capital that hoped to restore the Ming Dynasty, Liao Wenru and Liu Ning

Some ruthless measures were taken to suppress the main ones, and the rest naturally became much more honest.

"Sir, Wenru, Liu Ning, I have to work hard for you these days. When we enter the capital later, I have something to entrust you with."

When Wu Zongrui entered Yongding Gate, he stopped in the corridor and touched the walls on both sides of the corridor with his hands.

Entering the city, there were crowds of people in twos and threes. Their bodies were tense, their expressions were solemn, and they kept looking around.

Wu Zongrui smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Wenru, Liu Ning, the people in charge of security are too nervous. Outsiders can tell at a glance that you put too much pressure on them. We don't have to do this in the future. We are new here and are not particularly familiar with many situations in the capital. We are afraid.

It's good that you are fully prepared for any unexpected situation, but you must remember one thing: never disturb the people, not only now, but also in the future. I don't think the situation where officials go out and sound gongs to clear the way will continue.

"

Liao Wenru and Liu Ning nodded repeatedly and replied that they understood.

Wu Zongrui sighed inwardly. He knew very well that after he ascended the throne of the emperor, many situations would change. People such as Zeng Yongzhong, Liao Wenru and Liu Ning would not be as casual as before and would pay special attention to what they said and done, including Lu Faxuan and

Shi Kefa and others will also behave respectfully. This is a situation that cannot be changed and is something Wu Zongrui must accept.

It was cold at high places. After becoming emperor, Wu Zongrui was destined to endure the greatest loneliness.

China has been ruled by Confucianism for more than a thousand years. Many opinions and concepts cannot be changed immediately, such as the superiority and inferiority of superiors and inferiors, and the disparity in status. Wu Zongrui can be polite and virtuous, but he cannot say that everyone is equal. In fact,

In this world, it is impossible for everyone to be equal.

What Wu Zongrui can do is to treat everyone with a normal heart and continue to trust everyone who should be trusted.

A large number of Dashun Army sergeants were once stationed at the Taisui Temple and the Temple of Heaven, and Li Zicheng's temporary camp was also arranged at the Taisui Temple. After dismounting, Wu Zongrui looked outside the Taisui Temple and the Temple of Heaven, frowned and spoke.

"Sir, Wen Ru, Liu Ning, Li Zicheng and the Dashun Army can ignore the Tai Sui Temple and the Temple of Heaven. They think that after overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, everything will be new, so they leave this place in a mess and there is no need to clean it up, but we can't

, send sergeants immediately to clean this place and protect it..."

This time it was Zeng Yongzhong who agreed.

There was a glimmer of light in Zeng Yongzhong's eyes.

Wu Zongrui walked up to Zeng Yongzhong.

"Sir, respect for the previous emperor is also respect for ourselves. We must take practical actions in this regard. Sir, there is one more thing to worry about. As far as I know, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian was hastily buried by Li Zicheng.

Being able to enter the Royal Cemetery, please go and find out about it. Emperor Chongzhen must be buried in the Royal Cemetery. Queen Zhou, Queen Yi'an, Crown Prince Zhu Ci and others must all be buried well. This matter is of concern to me.

There are quite a few people..."

Zeng Yongzhong nodded vigorously and looked at Wu Zongrui.

"I have remembered your Lord's instructions and will implement them immediately."

Wu Zongrui smiled.

"Sir, don't be too anxious. Wen Ru and Liu Ning happen to be here. I'll say something here."

The soldiers immediately started vigilance around the Taisui Temple.

Zeng Yongzhong, Liao Wenru and Liu Ning stood in front of Wu Zongrui, respectfully.

"Sir, Wenru, Liu Ning, I have thought of two most important things, and we must not delay them."

"The first thing is to establish the rules. The rules I am talking about are rules that everyone in the world must abide by. There are restrictions on the emperor, restrictions on officials, and restrictions on the people. The kind that only allows state officials to

The situation of setting fires and not allowing people to light their lamps must not spread anywhere."

"I say this, maybe you don't understand very well, isn't there the Ming Dynasty Law, isn't there the system that has been established by the past dynasties? We can take the essence and remove the dross and just borrow it."

"Perhaps this is the actual situation. There are many systems and rules set by the past dynasties, and they are very insightful. However, the degree of implementation of these systems and rules is different for different people. For example, beating others at will, including robbery

Daughter of the people, if ordinary people do this, they will be severely punished by the government, but if officials and gentry do this, there may not be any problems."

"A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by anthills. You are the people I trust the most. I hope you will never have any thoughts of privilege, don't act aloof, don't always look down on all living beings, and often lower your body and be among the common people.

Go, you must truly become the parents and officials trusted by the people."

"The system I am talking about is a system in this area, or a system that requires strict implementation. In the face of the iron system, no one can violate it. Even you, if you violate the system, you will suffer.

to punishment."

Zeng Yongzhong, Liao Wenru and Liu Ning all looked serious. Of course they understood what Wu Zongrui meant.

"Sir, Wen Ru, Liu Ning, the world is not peaceful yet, and the people are not stable either. We need to make too much effort, so our system must be strictly implemented. As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If we always rely on

To conquer the world with swords, spears and firearms in hand is not stable."

"You can conquer the world on horseback, but you cannot rule it on horseback."

Having said this, Wu Zongrui let out a long sigh.

"The next matter of employment is that I have not had many civilian officials around me for a long time. I have transferred some soldiers from the Denglai New Army to serve as local officials, but I still feel that there are not enough people. Mr. Hong Chengchou said this matter yesterday.

Your Excellency also talked about this matter, and his advice to me was to treat the many officials of the Ming Dynasty kindly and use them as much as possible..."

Seeing Zeng Yongzhong and others nodding, Wu Zongrui shook his head slightly.

"Sir, there is no need to nod in a hurry. I just said the importance of the system. However, no matter how good the system is, if no one implements it well, it will be all empty talk. In the end, we will not be able to do anything well. So, we want to

To make the people peaceful and the world stable, we need to appoint officials who really do things, and we need to appoint officials who are dedicated to the people. If the officials we appoint still use the same methods as before to do things, or even directly exploit the people, you

Do you think the world can be peaceful?"

"Whether it was Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, including the leaders of the rebels who were wiped out, they were able to respond to a hundred responses and mobilize such a large team because the people were completely disappointed with the government."

"If the officials we appoint do not care about the life and death of the people and only think about their own interests, then Zhang Zicheng, Ma Zicheng, etc. will appear next, and one after another rebel teams will appear."

"Sir, Wenru, Liu Ning, that's all I want to say. I hope you can think carefully about how we should do things next. We won the world, not for enjoyment, but for

Be prepared to endure hardship..."

After Wu Zongrui finished speaking, Zeng Yongzhong clasped his fists and spoke.

"My subordinates have remembered your teachings, and they will definitely do things according to your requirements..."

Wu Zongrui waved his hand.

"From now on, you have to take action. Many rules and regulations, as well as the main officials in various places, have to start thinking and selecting, especially the governors, prefects and county magistrates in various places. They are the local chief officials. They
