I am the king of the dead

Chapter 648 Abandon the Western Regions, the World Will Be Uneasy

Although Luo Bingzhong wants Zhu Zhanqian's life, Luo Bingzhong is indeed the person Zhu Zhanqin trusts the most.

This is not a contradiction, it is precisely the expression of King Xiang's selflessness and lack of confusion in his heart.

To be precise, when Luo Bingzhong was still a Juren, King Xiang knew that as long as he did not commit heinous crimes, Luo Bingzhong's dagger would never stab him to death from the back.

Luo Bingzhong is loyal to Daming, loyal to His Majesty, and finally loyal to him.

Now that Luo Bingzhong has won the Jinshi, everything is different.

First of all, the upper limit. The family background of Ming Juren is not good. Even if Luo Bingzhong followed King Xiang to supervise the country, followed King Xiang to Anding in Yunnan, and went to Helin with His Royal Highness, he was still a Juren and left Xiangwang's mansion. Luo Bingzhong's upper limit is just the six ministers of Nanjing.

The powerful officials in the capital, and the leaders of the cultural affairs department in the capital, both disdain to make friends with Luo Bingzhong, because Luo Bingzhong is just a juren.

Now, Luo Bingzhong is a Jinshi. Even if he was from the same Jinshi background, there is a possibility that he will serve as a minister in six books in the future, and he will go up to nine days. Moreover, Luo Bingzhong is also the chief history of Prince Xiang's mansion, so there will be more people who deliberately make friends.

In case Luo Bingzhong and the group of Wentong Minggongs wore a pair of trousers, King Xiang's supervision of the country this time can be said to be close to death.

Obviously, Luo Bingzhong didn't even think to understand why King Xiang would say that you want to protect me, because Luo Bingzhong never thought of making friends with Wentong people, never thinking of being a clean rumor officer, and even more so. Never thought of leaving Prince Xiang's Mansion.

He and Zhu Zhanqian can only have a life-and-death agreement.

"Come, let's drink this cup together." Zhu Zhanqian looked at Luo Bingzhong and smiled bitterly. To be precise, he was a little worried that Luo Bingzhong would not be able to resist the temptation of Wen Tong.

Zhu Zhanqian really didn't want the day when he and Luo Bingzhong parted ways would really come, but there were some things that couldn't be stopped at all.

Luo Bingzhong didn't know why, so he drank it all in one gulp.

He put the chopsticks on the wine glass and stopped drinking. His eyes flashed with yearning and he said: "This time I won the list. In the evening, there will be a feast of grace and glory. There will be many Minggongs in this feast of grace and glory." go."

The Luming Banquet is a banquet that both new imperial examination candidates and Jinshi will attend. The host will set up the guest and host, Chen Zudou, the orchestra will be prepared, and the young prison will be used for livestock.

The grand banquet held by the imperial court to entertain new scholars was originally called the Qionglin Banquet, which was an advanced version of the Luming Banquet. In the Ming Dynasty, in the eighth year of Xuande, it was renamed the Enrong Banquet.

Deer is a homonym for Lu, which of course means that Xinke Jinshi is an official.

Zhu Zhanqian's eyes were a bit gloomy. The Qionglin Banquet and the Enrong Banquet are the first steps for the new scholars to step into the officialdom, and also the first step to enter the world from the ideal country where they study. first step.

These Jinshi who are full of vigor, full of righteousness, self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace will discover for the first time that the reality is so cruel.

The Enrong Banquet will be co-hosted by the chief examiner, the Zuo Dudu of Jinyiwei, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

And on this day, at the Enrong Banquet, most Jinshi will choose a mountain top.

The first is the Kodao speaker.

There are 140 censors at all levels in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are 60 people in the northern and southern yamen in the six divisions. Because Jing'an Province and Ryukyu Province were newly established, the southern yamen was divided into four, and the number of censors at all levels in the Ming Dynasty has increased by nearly The establishment of more than [-] people.

The official position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate seems to be very small. For example, the right and left censors of the Chief Constitution are no more than three grades, but they have great power. If there is no emperor behind them, no one would dare to confront the Metropolitan Procuratorate head-on.

The functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are to correct and impeach all officials (supervising and impeaching all officials), to discern injustice (one of the three judicial departments), to admiral each way (the post of governor), and to be the department of the emperor's eyes, eyes and discipline.

Due to its functions, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has a natural ability to coordinate across departments.

The three divisions of the local provinces have the Chengxuan Zhengshi Division in charge of civil affairs, the punishment and inspection department in charge of punishment and prisons, and the command and envoy division in charge of local military affairs.

On weekdays, the three local divisions live in peace and harmony, but for things such as war, salt administration, horse administration, auditing accounts, etc., which require the cooperation of the three divisions to deal with, the three divisions make equal grades, who will listen to?
Naturally, they listen to the governor, and the admirals of the provinces (provinces) themselves are the functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect and inspect the censors. Therefore, at the local level, the governor has the function of coordinating the three divisions.

Yu Qian was once impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate for one crime.

Gu Yao and others impeached Yu Qian, but Zhu Qiyu chopped off his head for the crime of bullying disrespect for ignoring his reprimand to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Expertise, Yu Qian, as Minister of the Ministry of War, commanded the six ministries and arranged the battle of the capital as a whole. That is to say, to be expert, to work across departments. The power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

There are many people, great power, long hands, and low positions. No one dares to mess with them.

Even in the face of the impeachment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, without the emperor's acquiescence and support, Hu Wei would not dare to confront the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate head-on, but with the emperor's support, Hu Wei has a completely different combat power.

From Xu Youzhen at the beginning, to He Zhang impeaching him for being unethical, to Chen Xunru, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, going to the palace, every time Hu Wei got the emperor's acquiescence, and then he slammed his nose at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was the picket of hundreds of officials, Otherwise, Hu Yan would not dare to do it.

The Qing rumor officer is Luo Bingzhong's first choice after Jinshi.

The second is to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a Hanlin, and then receive the salary of the imperial court, revise books, dream, occasionally write a memorial, criticize current politics and scold the emperor to gain a good reputation, follow the steps, and finally win a chance to enter the cabinet and enter the Ming Dynasty. center of power.

This road is the Wentong route. It goes smoothly and there is no great danger. Of course, there is no great credit, but the victory is safe.

For example, Lang Qiujun, the number one scholar in the fifth year of Jingtai, and Chen Xun, the number one scholar in the Yongle period, took this route, dreaming, outlining the Utopia, and depicting the world of Datong.

The third way is to get out of the office and finally join the Sixth Ministry. Ke Qian, who was in the second year of Jingtai, took this way. He went to the border town to catch spies.

For example, Yu Qian, who was tired and sick, and Wang Wen, Wang Ao, etc. who had been held in the local area for 25 years, were all of this kind.

A seemingly simple grace banquet, teacher appreciation banquet, is the first step in life choice.

Why did Zhu Zhanqian's eyes dim, because he saw Luo Bingzhong's eagerness to try.

After being a Jinshi, Luo Bingzhong might no longer like the pool of Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Prince Zhide seems nice to hear, but a prince who sees things is really out of place in Daming. The ax may be added at any time, and the big ship of Prince Xiang's Mansion capsizes.

It is human nature for Luo Bingzhong to plan early.

"Your Highness, some of the group of people we are staring at at the Enrong Banquet and the Nursing Home will be there. I will contact them as a new scholar. Although they are on guard, they will still be slack!" Luo Bingzhong said extremely Excitedly said: "The matter of the nursing home cannot be delayed any longer. If His Majesty makes a southern tour, it will be much more difficult for us to do it!"

The gleam in Luo Bingzhong's eyes is not the expectation of Jinshi and his career, but the expectation of making a nest and closing the net!

Zhu Zhanqian was quite surprised. He thought that Luo Bingzhong was full-fledged and ready to fly solo, but now it seems...isn't that the case?
Did Luo Bingzhong use the status of Jinshi to handle the case? !
Luo Bingzhong listed out his plan in detail, which is actually very similar to the way Li Binyan partnered with Tianzi Tiqi in Shandong to wipe out corrupt officials in a nest in Shandong.

Scene reconstruction.

The corner of Zhu Zhanqian's mouth twitched, scholars are indeed insidious and cunning!
It's just that he asked a little strangely: "Is Luo Changshi planning to go out to work in the government?"

Zhu Zhanqian chose to speak directly, which is also His Majesty's style. Some things are boring in his heart, and it becomes a gap.

The mouth under the nose is for talking, not for misunderstanding.

Luo Bingzhong shook his head and said, "Being loyal to Daming is the same wherever you are."

Of course, Luo Bingzhong thought about going out to serve in the mansion. Seeing how majestic Zhou Ying, the original chief clerk of Prince Zheng's mansion, Luo Bingzhong also thought about it, but he quickly held back.

His existence is part of the mutual trust and friendship between His Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Xiang. He can be more loyal to Daming in Prince Xiang's mansion, and he can also realize himself.

In Guizhou, in Helin, and in Daning, the credit is indeed His Highness's, but there are also his.

"So that's the case, then follow your ideas and try to solve the filth of the Nursing Home before His Majesty's southern tour." Zhu Zhanqian smiled.

Luo Bingzhong knew exactly what he wanted, and he didn't feel wronged by staying in the palace, that was enough.

Prince Xiang's Mansion has also figured out the tricks of the Nursing Home to hide the filth. Now that it's time to collect the net, Luo Bingzhong needs to confirm a few things before he can communicate with the Jinyiwei and prepare to collect the net.

The spring has passed, and the news that the Ming emperor wants to tour the south spreads all over the north and south of the river as if he has grown wings. Countless government orders have been spread from the six yamen to the localities on issues such as the accompanying officials, the list of retinues, reception along the road, and so on.

Before the southern tour, Zhu Qiyu had one more thing to do, and that was Ye Mili Huo Zhe, or Xia Zhiyi.

Yemi Li Huo Zhe brought the Turpan Khanate to defect to Daming. After repeated consideration, it was a good decision for everyone after the merger of Liucheng Kingdom, Huozhou Kingdom, and Turpan Khanate.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to meet Xia Zhiyi, and announced a series of issues such as naming, title, and appointment.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to leave a mess for King Xiang. The emperor's uncle is very capable, but after all, he lacks the throne, and he is tied up when dealing with some matters.

Xia Zhiyi attached great importance to this knighthood. To be precise, Daming's attitude towards the Western Regions was very important to Xia Zhiyi, so he traveled thousands of miles to go to Beijing in person.

Xia Zhiyi entered the Fengtian Hall with a unicorn on his right lapel, bowed three times and kowtowed five times, and shouted respectfully: "Chen Xia Zhiyi, I greet Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Bo Xia Zhiyi listens to the seal."

Big and small Yule Dusi is a place name, and it is also a test for the management of the capital in the Yule area of ​​the Western Regions after the Ming Dynasty established the Seven Guards of Kansai in the Yongle period. It is an ambition of the Ming Dynasty to reopen the Western Regions.

During the Yongle period, Zhu Di once appointed the Tongzhi of the two capitals.

But, that's all.

Ever since Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Long Yu was the guest of honor, Daming had lost his desire for the Western Regions, and this matter was left alone.

Xing'an flicked his whisk, and began to read the imperial decree in a frustrating manner. The imperial edict was very long, and Xing'an tried his best to read the words clearly.

Yemi Lihuo was given the name Xia Zhiyi, was granted the title of Yulebo, and gave the official Yule Du Si Du Commander Tongzhi. From the second rank, Xia Zhiyi's wife was named the second rank's imperial wife, and immediately took their three children to live in the house. The Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty.

His wife and children were Xia Zhiyi's hostages to the Ming court. Xia Zhiyi was very sincere in his surrender this time.

Xia Zhiyi kowtowed again and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Pingshen." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

Xia Zhiyi stood up, now he is the Earl of Daming, and no longer a barbarian from the Western Regions.

Although he has the blood of the former Yuan Gold Family, but now the Khan Tuotuobuhua of the Golden Family lives in the Jinkou Siyi Pavilion. He is an eighteen-year-old Yuan descendant, so naturally there is no need to guard the glory of the Golden Family and never let go up.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xia Zhiyi. After putting on the Hanfu, he was the same as Tuo Tuo Buhua's most promising son Tuo Gu, and he couldn't see any big difference from Daming people.

As Yu Qian said, he does have the appearance of a hero.

"Your Majesty, I have "The Book of Governing the Western Regions", please read it." Xia Zhiyi combined the actual situation of the Western Regions and wrote a memorial. To be precise, he discussed how the Ming Dynasty should reopen the Western Regions from multiple perspectives.

In terms of military affairs, he hopes that the Ming court can slow down and advance to a rapid battle.

Slow progress is to carry out long-term preparations of one to three years. While raising food, grass and armaments, train soldiers, conduct adaptive training on the mountains, rivers, hydrology and climate of the Western Regions, and conduct comprehensive intelligence penetration of the entire Western Regions. Find out the situation and make preparations;

In the urgent battle, it is to take the entire Western Region into the bag with a thunderous momentum, instead of simply Luntai City, Liucheng, Huozhou, Yule City and other places, and care about the power of one city and one place.

Economically, he hoped that the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty could comprehensively organize the Karez wells, make sufficient preparations for the future management of the people's livelihood in the Western Regions by the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time formulate corresponding plans for the settlement of the herdsmen.

Similarly, the Western Regions have a lot of mines. How to mine these mines, like Yunnan and Guizhou, is linked to the success of Daming's economy. This requires the cooperation of Great Ming, including Daming in the Western Regions.

Politically, he hoped that Ming Dynasty could realize the kingship of the Western Regions, and bring the Western Regions into the land of the four directions, not the land of Liuhe and eight barrens. It was still the chaotic Western Regions, the people were miserable, and the king's banner at the head of the city was changing.

In terms of culture, he also earnestly hoped that Ming Dynasty could spread enlightenment in the Western Regions and teach Sinology, so as to prevent Islam from eroding the entire Western Regions.

It is said: Only good bandits are distinguished, not Hu Han, which is the long-standing rule and the foundation of suppressing bandits.

In short, Xia Zhiyi hopes that the Western Regions can be merged into the Ming Dynasty, instead of simply becoming a tributary state, a vassal state, or a Jimi area, which is meaningless to the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are too bitter.

The Western Regions need Daming too much.

Xia Zhiyi's contribution was sincere and sincere.

Zhu Qiyu put away the memorial, nodded and said: "Bo Yule's thoughts and concerns are all for the people of the Western Regions, and also for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty. What he said is very good."

Reopening the Western Regions is an important national policy for Zhu Qiyu to develop land and sea simultaneously. Xia Zhiyi's memorials stand on the side of the Western Regions, and also stand on the side of Daming.

As if he was afraid that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not be interested in the Western Regions, in the memorial, Xia Zhiyi talked about the importance of the Western Regions to the Ming Dynasty at length.

It can be summed up as follows: if the Western Regions are abandoned, Hexi will not be able to survive by itself;

Xia Zhiyi was right, his point of view was consistent with that of many generals in the lecture hall on the Western Regions.

Xia Zhiyi saw that His Majesty had indeed read the memorial carefully, and that he really had plans to reopen the Western Regions, not just to make a fuss, but finally heaved a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is holy!"

"Return to class." Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, looked at the officials in Fengtian Hall and asked: "What advice do you have for reopening the Western Regions, now let's talk about it in detail, and after we make a decision, we won't talk about it."

Is anyone opposed to reopening the Western Regions?
Have.

There are many people.

The Western Regions are really too far away, especially for Daming whose capital is now Beijing.
