I am the king of the dead

Chapter 254 Yu Qian does not bite the bait

Zhu Qiyu has a watch list, and on this list are all people carefully selected by Zhu Qiyu.

The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were always in a state of virtuous and unvirtuous. When Zhu Qiyu observed them, they would collapse into two states of virtuous or unvirtuous, which was convenient for the emperor to choose.

For example, Liu Ji, Yin Yu, and Pei Lun are all on Zhu Qiyu's watch list. In fact, this list is also updated at any time.

Sometimes, it is not up to them to decide whether the courtiers are virtuous or not.

Jiang Yuan once had a conflict with Xu Youzhen. Xu Youzhen proposed to move south, and when he went out, he met Jiang Yuan.

The two thoughtful people bumped into each other.

But at that time, Zhu called the door north hunting, whether Wala would go south, and whether the capital would be relocated, were all major matters of the court, and the two sighed for a long time.

Jiang Yuan told Xu Youzhen that the proposal to move south was not in my favor, so he joined the Baojing faction headed by Yu Qian and actively offered advice and suggestions.

And when Wala went south, Sun Tong, the military counselor, was beaten under the city wall of Xizhimen, and Jiang Yuan was almost killed by the Wala people.

Jiang Yuan was also wounded, and after two months of recuperation, he assumed the title of the right servant of the household department and inspected Zijing Pass, Daoma Pass and Baiyang Pass.

The Bauhinia Pass that was destroyed by the Oirats was under the auspices of Jiang Yuan and others, recruiting civilians, allocating food and silver, communicating with the Ministry of Industry, etc., and finally rebuilding the Bauhinia Pass.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Yuan is available." As soon as Yu Qian heard His Majesty say Jiang Yuan's name, he knew that His Majesty must have recorded many available people in his pocket book.

These are all things that take effort.

Obviously, His Majesty is already a very mature emperor.

Yu Qian said with some doubts: "Has Your Majesty decided on the subject of the test? It seems that Chunwei will be here soon."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said as it should: "It's settled, do you want Yu Shaobao to take a look?"

I will try it, it's a big deal.

Zhu Qiyu delineated the topics according to the Jindiandian Examination Jiazhujuan of the general examination for opening a subject over the years, which can be regarded as a professional practice.

The eight-legged essay of Ming Dynasty is a very interesting thing. The general examination is especially like the written examination of the national examination.

When Zhu Qiyu was not yet the great emperor, he took the national and provincial exams, and passed the civil servant exam for a period of time, but he couldn't pass the interviews and failed to go ashore, and finally passed the exam for a state-run teacher.

The process is much the same.

Moreover, the questions for this thing are completely according to the emperor's wishes, especially in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Mencius was never produced in the general examination during the Hongwu period; .

Some emperors made their own policy questions. For example, in the seventh year of Chongzhen, the 23-year-old Emperor Chongzhen came up with ten policy questions and asked policy questions all over the world.

Chongzhen’s ten questions, are they good?very good!

The seven, ten, and thirteen years of Chongzhen's palace examinations can be said to have exhausted all the questions in the late Ming Dynasty.

But it is not difficult to separate the problem from the phenomenon.

What are the reasons for these problems?And how should we solve it?

Ask a group of people who have read sage books all their lives, can the problem be solved by talking about it?
Chongzhen asked another very interesting question in the tenth year of Chongzhen: Why did Liu Yan and Li Baozhen be appointed in the Tang Dynasty, and it took less than three years to make the country rich and strong?Why can't we be in the Ming Dynasty?
In fact, the answer, Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty, had already said that Yuan Yi lost the world.

Except for the Hongwu and Yongle years, the Ming Dynasty was still too lenient towards meat eaters.

Zhu Qiyu randomly selected three sentences from the Analects, Mencius, and Book of Rites that advocate frugality and diligence, so that students can freely develop, and the policy questions are relatively simple, mainly from the three aspects of Tao, morality, and merit.

"I don't want to look at it." Yu Qian's scalp was numb, and the emperor was baiting again.

He didn't care about the imperial examination. If there was an imperial examination fraud case, he would not be implicated in vain. If he took a second look, he would be considered a loser.

Zhu Qiyu sighed, Yu Qian didn't take the bait.

Since Li Binyan left Beijing, Zhu Qiyu has fallen into a long-term state of air force again. The water monkey doesn't hang fish, and he can't catch any fish.

If Yu Qian is like Hu Wei, who can stand in the court without any hindrance, shout out loudly that the minister is sincere and immoral, and take out the posture of "Chu said: I am a barbarian" to protect himself, Zhu Qiyu will still need to pay So much energy?

Yu Qian is too gentlemanly, and it is too easy for some villains to deal with him.

Since ancient times, a gentleman is much easier to deal with than a villain.

For example, after the Battle of the Capital, so many censors impeached Yu Qian, Zhu Qiyu killed the three censors headed by Gu Yao, and released Chen Yi and He Zhang. These people actually criticized Yu Qian for being too modest.

But Yu Qian never thought of retaliating against them, let alone pleading. With a manly body that is not afraid of the shadow, he just stood in the court and became a moral benchmark.

Such a person will become the target of public criticism.

As long as the relationship between the emperor and Yu Qian can be separated, an official like Yu Qian will be easily isolated, and in the end he can only be forced to resign, or call himself ill and ignore the matter to protect himself.

But fortunately, now there is another Hu Wei in the hall who can't get in the water.

Want to fall?You have to get over this hurdle first.

To fight Hu Mei, one must accumulate at least 40 years of experience since the Jianwen Dynasty, otherwise you want to fight Hu Mei?

Daming needed an upright courtier like Yu Qian, and a flexible bureaucrat like Hu Wei.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian continued to chat about various aspects of the farm law, the most important thing was about the training of the management officials of the farm at the three levels of Jiashou, Lizheng, and Zhang Lingguan.

Things in the countryside are not at all easier than those in the court.

Yu Qian put forward his own opinions on the issue of eliminating the old and the weak and returning the old and the weak to their hometowns. For example, in order to prevent new gentry from appearing in the countryside, veterans should not be allowed to return to their hometowns.

Yu Qian believes that it is better not to return to his hometown for the old and weak in the Beijing camp, and he can take a second job in a nearby township.

The commander is in charge of the township, the head of the village is in charge of the village, and the head of the armor is in charge of eleven households.

The old and weak in the capital camp are not old and weak when they go to the countryside. The Beijing camp is strong, and when they go back to their own villages, it is inevitable that there will be soldiers relying on their kindness, gathering relatives and friends, making it difficult for Li Zheng and commanders to do it. Make it difficult for the Great Emperor.

But changing townships and no longer working in one's own township can solve this kind of problem very well.

Yu Qian hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Is Your Majesty going to sort out the household registration?"

"Your Majesty has cleared out the Beijing camp. It is the so-called flowing water that does not rot, and the household hinges that do not moth."

"But I think that this is not a good time."

Yu Qian was worried. Just like what Chen Yi said, once His Majesty's steps start to be blind and out of order, the ship of Daming may really sink.

The permanent household registration system of the Ming Dynasty does need to be changed, but that is not a matter of an imperial edict, which can solve the problem.

Even if the edict is issued, but the soil for the existence of this system is still there, it is impossible for it to be implemented.

Just like what His Majesty said, it is impossible to implement the law of zero interest, and it will cause a flood of green rice money.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "Try it for now, take it step by step, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that His Majesty's temper would turn good governance into a tyrannical one. You must know that those bureaucrats who were suppressed were waiting for the emperor to make mistakes, and then crazily counterattacked.

When will the world be guilty?When the emperor made a mistake.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian had an in-depth and full exchange of views on some improvements to the farm law. The two sides reached many broad consensuses and reserved their opinions on differences.

For example, Zhu Qiyu's opinion on "Captured bandits" is that those with blood debts should be killed directly, and those without blood debts should be sent directly to the Gulag Hotel in Daming, and thrown to the Coal Wells Division to dig coal until they die.

However, Yu Qian advocated treating these bandits differently, and focused on reforming the bandits who did not have the blood of the people on their hands.

Zhu Qiyu doesn't think that a wild animal that has eaten raw meat can return to vegetarianism.

Even if their hands have not been stained with the blood of the common people, haven't they worked for the tiger and strengthened their momentum?Haven't you shared the benefits of looting?

Even if they hadn't killed anyone, they would have had their heads covered in blood. Sending them to the Coal Wells Division was already a great gift from heaven.

In this era when the Middle Ages was only two years away, Zhu Qiyu was very lenient in not building the Auschwitz playground.

Why did Zhu Qiyu have such a big opinion on these [captured bandits]?

Aren't they forced to go up the mountain by the gentry and powerful families, and become bandits?
Zhu Qiyu made an announcement several times, asking someone to send a message to the bandits in the mountain, telling them to go down the mountain quickly, the farm law lasted for a year, and Zhu Qiyu let the Beijing camp start to suppress it.

He has given it a long time. Could it be that if you give them some more time, they will go down the mountain?
Yu Qian was in charge of persuading Renshu, so he naturally insisted that some people here could be reformed.

In fact, Yu Qian's views on civil matters have always been correct.

For example, the lazy people in the countryside, the lazy people, and the beggars in the city, these people have been reformed very well.

Yu Qian also persuaded His Majesty, he said a few reasons, such as the inconvenient transportation in the mountains, and they didn’t hear the king’s instructions; for example, they didn’t believe in the court or the government; for example, they were restricted and couldn’t leave; Wait for the reason.

Since Yu Qian said that he has a way to reform those bandits who went down the mountain, Zhu Qiyu is also happy to see the success.

Yu Qian's way of benevolence and forgiveness is only for the people, only for the country, he bowed his head and said: "These people are also the people of Ming Dynasty, and the mastermind is to force them to become bandits, Your Majesty."

"The minister asks for advice and comfort, if not effective, the minister will be punished."

Yu Qian seldom takes power from himself. The jobs he takes are all dirty and tiring. Those captured bandits are not good people, but mostly thugs.

There were even commanders who passed orders and were killed, and more than one of them. Of course, after the Beijing camp was mobilized, all the thugs who dared to kill the commander were brought to justice and sentenced to justice.

Zhu Qiyu gave them face, but they didn't want it.

If Yu Qian pleads for mercy this time and gives them face again, they still refuse to face face, Zhu Qiyu can only help them face face.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "Yu Shaobao does his best, and if it works, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't work, it's just a few more coal mines in the Xishan Coalfield."

Yu Qian took a deep breath, this time persuading Renshu will definitely succeed!

Xing'an saw that the conversation about political affairs was almost done, and said with a smile: "There is a lot of wind and rain in September, and every time thunder and clouds cluster, they suddenly strike. In thick clouds, if you see the tail falling to the ground, if you bend and stretch, it will stop the rain on one side, which is called dragon hanging."

"A dragon sucks water."

"Your Majesty wins."

Yu Qian watched the flags on his chessboard being pulled out one by one, and looked at Xing'an dully.

This is a new battlefield, I just played two or three games, and I just got familiar with the strength of the troops, so... the dragon sucked water?
Yu Qian is about to win a big victory!

As a result, a tornado swept away more than 30 of his troops. How can this be done?
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but he was even more angry!
He opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that? Didn't the heaven and earth fall into a tsunami?"

"This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster." Xing'an pulled the flag from Yu Qian's hand without changing his face, and said calmly, "Change hands."

Next time, let His Majesty make a written statement!

Zhu Qiyu coughed and said: "Xing'an, go and make a pot of good tea, Tianchi tea from Suzhou, make a pot."

"Yu Shaobao tasted it. This Tianchi tea is known as green and fragrant. It is green and fragrant when you look at it. It tastes the heart when you look at it. It smells fragrant and quenches thirst. It can be called a fairy product. You should give up three points of the tea from the mountains."

"Xing'an, make a pot."

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "I know, I'm going to soak now."

Yu Qian breathed out, the battle of Poyang Lake, the strength of the Ming army was actually weaker than that of Chen Youliang's Han army, it was indeed a beautiful thing, a gust of east wind burned Poyang Lake and broke the iron lock Hengjiang.

Xing'an got a dragon to absorb water, which is also a destiny.

Yu Qian comforted himself, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, it was too much!
After the change of hands, Zhu Qiyu, a stinky chess player, held the Han army in his hand, killing all sides and winning a game, but in the second hand, Yu Qian killed Zhu Qiyu's Han army even if he had no east wind, throwing away his helmet and armor.

Generally speaking, Zhu Qiyu, a stinky chess player with the Han army in his hand, can beat Yu Qian who holds the Ming army.

At least in the Battle of Poyang Lake, in terms of strength on paper, it was Chen Youliang who had the absolute advantage.

"Resignation." Yu Qian drank a cup of tea and pushed the chessboard with the emperor's soldiers. This time, the emperor with the Han army in his hand still won.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian's back as he left the lecture hall and asked, "Has Lu Zicai checked Yu Shaobao's pulse recently? How is his phlegm disease?"

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "I watch it once a month, and it's completely fine."

Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Qian had a heavy burden on him, the governor of the capital's military affairs, he also had to promote the farm law, and he had to play chess with the emperor and ask about politics if he had nothing to do.

But on the whole, Yu Qian's body is indeed getting stronger and stronger, and he walks vigorously.

Lu Zhong hurried in from downstairs, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Kong Yanjin was sent to the imperial hospital. I am incompetent, and nothing can be found out."

"But I found a clue."

　The night's update may be a little later, please... tickets!
