I am the king of the dead

Zhu Qiyu was not surprised by Yexian's death. In fact, when the news of the turmoil in the Kang Kingdom came, Zhu Qiyu had already realized that Yexian and his bastard son were about to die, and Wang Fu would not do anything. Because Wang Fu has never been a person who is inferior to the superior, but those Wala people who can no longer be content with the status quo will kill Yexian.

The two sons of Ara Zhiyuan can't sort out the chaos in Kang, not even Wang Fu, only Daming can.

In order to prevent classes with conflicting interests from annihilating themselves and society in meaningless struggles, there needs to be a power over society, which should moderate the conflicts between classes.

Keeping conflicts within the scope of 'order', this kind of power that arises from society but is above society and is increasingly alienated from society is the state and the court.

This is the fundamental reason for the birth of the imperial court, and Wang Fu did not possess such power, nor did he have it before, Ashitaiji did not have it, and the two sons of Ara Zhiyuan did not. kind of power.

It's the power over society.

After receiving Wang Fu’s invitation to Jing’an via Gelu, the imperial court immediately began to discuss the matter of dispatching troops. In fact, this dispatch of troops was already within the scope of Ming’s court discussion, although Ye Xian’s body was already being brought back. The capital, but the instability of Kang country is unacceptable to Daming.

If Ryukyu is the sea ridge of all countries on the sea, then Kangguo and Samarkand are the crossroads on land. In any case, Ming cannot accept the severance of the Silk Road on land, which will greatly increase the number of people in the Western Regions, Gansu, Shaanxi, The cost of support in Hetao made it natural to send troops, but after sending troops to mop up, how to resettle Kang Guo has become a difficult problem.

Kang Guo is really too far away.

Especially for the Ming Dynasty, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is in the Beiya, the political center and the military center are in the Beiya, while the economic center and cultural center are in the Nanya and Songjiang Prefecture. The cost of ruling will increase exponentially with the increase of distance. Growth, which is one of the reasons why Luchuan and Wuliangha went back and forth during the orthodox years. Costs can be effectively reduced through official roads, post roads, Chi roads, pigeon roads, and needle roads.

But for Ming, ruling Samarkand is still a huge burden.

Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty sent troops to clear up the turmoil in the Kang Kingdom, it was something that the Ming Dynasty wanted to do but could not bring the Kang Kingdom into the Quartet. Just like the old Hong Kong Propaganda Department, Li Chengwu was still the overseas governor, so Kang Guo It can only be the land of heaven and earth.

Then the land of Liuhe, there is the canonization method of the land of Liuhe, the Duke of Kang, the Palace of Kang, the First Court of Consultation, and the Second Court of Consultation, but the military and diplomacy should be in charge of Daming.

But this time the troops were dispatched to Samarkand, and the journey was so far that it exceeded the limit of the Ming Dynasty’s use of force in history. It would take more than 7000 miles from the capital to Xiguan, Alashankou Town, and more than 3000 miles from Zhenxiguan to Samarkand. It's a journey of thousands of miles.

According to the standard of the Ming army traveling [-] miles a day, it would take a year to reach Samarkand.

For such a long journey and such a long conquest, it is unreasonable for Daming to send out the entire Beijing camp.

Finally, Changping Hou Yang Jun led the Siwei Regiment Battalion, Zhu Yi, Sun Boring, Liu An, Zhao Fu, Zhang Mao, etc. were the generals, and Ma Ang, the left servant of the household department, was the governor of military affairs, and the imperial censor Keqian and Zhang Peng were patrolled. , Yu Zijun and others served as counselors for military affairs, and eunuchs Lu Yong and Chen Xuan served as supervisors of the army. A total of 8 people went to Kang Guo to help Kang Guogong invite him to Jing'an.

Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved this resolution, and three months after receiving Wang Fu's memorial to ask for reinforcements, the Ming army began to set off.

At the time of the conquest, Zhu Qiyu's plan for the southern tour was interrupted again, at least until Yang Jun returned to Zhenxiguan before continuing the southern tour.

"Your Majesty, the prince is here." Xing'an reported cautiously. The prince seemed to have something to see, and Xing'an didn't dare to ask.

"Xuan."

Zhu Jiancheng did not wait outside the Juxian Pavilion like his ministers, but at the door of the imperial study. After the small yellow gate conveyed His Majesty's edict, Zhu Jiancheng walked into the imperial study. He bowed his head respectfully and said : "See father, whether father is holy or not."

"An, sit down, what's the matter?" Zhu Qiyu signaled Zhu Jiancheng to sit down and talk. This is the imperial study room, not the backyard, nor Tai'an Palace. Obviously, Zhu Jiancheng was talking to the emperor as a prince, not a son.

"My son is quite puzzled by the content taught by Wang Xueshi." Zhu Jiancheng said with a puzzled face: "Wang Xueshi talked about "Mencius·Liang Huiwang Chapter [-]"."

"King Hui of Liang asked Mencius for advice. Mencius asked: Is there any difference between using a stick or a blade to kill? King Hui of Liang replied: No. Mencius asked again: Is there any difference between using a blade or a government order to kill? King Hui of Liang answered again Said: No."

"Mencius said: There are fresh and tender meat in the kitchen, and strong horses in the stable, but the common people look hungry, and there are starving people lying on the road. Isn't this the same as King Hui of Liang leading wild beasts to eat people? ? Beasts kill each other, and people hate each other. As the emperor, as the court, as a carnivore, implementing policies, but bringing wild beasts to eat people together, how can he be worthy of being the emperor, the court, and the master of Qingtian?"

Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with Mencius persuading King Hui of Liang to benevolent and forgiving?"

Zhu Jiancheng said a little restlessly: "However, when Mr. Hu was around, he also talked about this paragraph, but he told the boy that if you want meat eaters not to eat people, as an emperor, you must become fierce. Once the meat eaters eat If you want to eat people, eat these unruly guys immediately, so that they will kill chickens and monkeys, even if they are meat eaters, they will not dare to eat them openly."

"Mr. Hu said that this is also the way of benevolence and forgiveness."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiancheng, thought carefully about these two ways of benevolence and forgiveness, and asked with a smile: "Then, as a prince, prince, and future emperor, what do you think should be done?"

Zhu Jiancheng hesitated for a long time, and then tentatively said: "I think Mencius is right. The emperor and the court can't bring meat eaters to eat people, but Mencius didn't give a way. Master Hu said the way. Wang Xueshi said that he wanted the emperor to practice virtue, and billions of trillions looked up to him and believed that he would do it."

"According to Wang Xueshi, as a son of heaven, it is enough to cultivate virtue. Everyone in the world should follow suit. The reason is very good, and the logic is very smooth, but I think it is useless..."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiancheng and continued to ask, "Why do you think it's useless?"

Zhu Jiancheng said quite seriously: "Saints like Confucius and Mencius, their virtues and their words have been passed down through the ages, but even the family of Yan Shenggong can't follow their virtues and principles. To truly touch people’s hearts, it still needs to be put into action.”

Zhu Qiyu said quite satisfied: "Cheng'er, you have already understood the four words Confucian skin and Fagu."

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help thinking of the sentence that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty said when he was educating the prince, the prince is also the one who messed up my Han family. Later, Emperor Han Yuan really missed the Han family.

Under the training of Hu Mei, Zhu Jiancheng finally understood a lot of truths in the world. Although he didn't understand at that time, he took notes carefully, and when he encountered something in the future, he would naturally understand it.

Of course, the weapons of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons, and material power can only be destroyed by material power.

"So I'm wondering whether Mr. Hu's father is right or Mr. Wang is right." Zhu Jiancheng expressed his doubts. He was a little confused when he changed teachers.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiancheng and said with certainty: "You already have the answer. You call Teacher Hu's father is teacher's father, and you call Wang Xueshi is bachelor."

The words Hu Wei said were indeed cruel enough, and they had left a deep imprint on Zhu Jiancheng's heart. These imprints had already affected Zhu Jiancheng's world outlook, values, and outlook on life.

"Thank you, father, for clarifying the confusion." Zhu Jiancheng also suddenly realized when he heard that, it turned out that he already had the answer in his heart, and he just needed his father to confirm it.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiancheng and said: "From tomorrow onwards, follow me to the Beijing camp to practice military horses. As a son of heaven, if you don't have military talent, God will not reward you, but you still have to master horseback riding and bow shooting."

"Be careful yourself. At the beginning, Li Chengqian broke his leg because of riding and shooting. Later, his personality became eccentric. Be careful that someone will attack you."

When Zhu Qiyu spoke to his son, he didn't have so many cloudy words. He was straightforward and told him that the prince is not so easy to do, especially now that Zhu Jiancheng has a younger brother, who is also the first son, the second heir of Ming Dynasty, and the old party members What kind of crazy thing will you do when you find that you can't change the deep-rooted three views of the prince?
Zhu Jiancheng stood up, looked at his father, straightened his chest and said: "When my father was here, Mr. Hu, I explained to my son why my father refused to move to live in the palace. My son will always remember my father's teaching!"

It is not easy to be a prince in the past dynasties, and protecting yourself from harm is the top priority.

Zhu Jiancheng left, Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiancheng's back and smiled, and continued to review the complicated memorials.

He was appointed as the third rank of the imperial censor of Zuodu, and the governor of Nanjing Grain Store, Xuanxuan, once again wrote a letter to beg for the bones, but Zhu Qiyu was still not allowed. Xuanxuan is an extremely clean and honest official. If it wasn't for Hai Gangfeng Hai Rui, Xuanfu would be the most honest official of the Ming Dynasty, the governor. In the 12 years of Qianliang, there has never been a single mistake.

There was a bamboo box behind Xuanxuan's salute when he took office, and he was called a layman. At that time, Zhu Qiyu thought he was putting on a show. As a result, in the past 12 years, this layman was still a layman, and he refused to be greedy for ink. The salary is indeed enough for his family.

Jiangnan money and food is the lifeblood of Daming, it is the key inspection target of Ji Sheng, and the key anti-corruption target of the Anti-Corruption Department. Wang Ao and Ji Sheng have been watching for more than ten years, but they have not found any problems.

At the same time that he was not allowed to become an official, Zhu Qiyu posthumously bestowed Xuanxuan's father, Xuangui, as a senior official, Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, his mother Liu, and stepmother Zhang as wives. Brocade, weaving auspicious cloud patterns, Jingtai Zhibao riding seams and stamping, besides the solemn imperial decree, there are also a bunch of gifts, in addition to this, there is also a first merit card, which was given to Xuanxuan.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty can take out the jacquard colorful brocade for mounting, obviously Xuanxuan has been approved by the emperor.

In this cumbersome memorial, what makes Zhu Qiyu quite dissatisfied is that someone impeached Yuan Bin. The reason for the impeachment was that Yuan Bin was unfaithful to the Japanese. In the Seto Inland Sea, China was established as the assistant, and Yuan Bin was impeached for being disloyal to His Majesty.

Knowing the Japanese is a big crime, and it really needs to be labeled, Tang Xing is the one who knows the Japanese the most.

Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an and Lu Zhong to find out what was going on, only to find out that it was Yuan Bin who blocked some people's money.

Yuan Bin’s Shanye Yuan Gongfang occupies three major silver mountains in the country of Japan. The Japanese silver is directly sent to the national and domestic funds every year, causing the Ming sea merchants to sell goods to the country of Japan. Sulfur, Japanese women, copper and other things.

"I just made a rule to exile Xiguan, a town north of the Tianshan Mountains. Look, someone bumped into me." Zhu Qiyu took the memorial and said to Xing'an: "The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Ao, is staring at him. Zuoshu, I don’t even know how I died.”

Wang Yu, You Buzheng of Guangxi, was born in Ninghai, Taizhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. His family has been a maritime merchant for generations. Wang Yu’s memorial is obviously an extension of the imperial court’s inability to “compete with the people for profit”. The Ming Dynasty is very big, and Zhu Qiyu can tolerate criticism. Voice, if it's just this melody, Zhu Qiyu wouldn't do anything to him.

The point is that this Wang Yu is a corrupt official and has already been targeted by Wang Ao.

There was a civil uprising in Guangxi that broke through the prefectures and counties, and it has been put down by the Guangxi military officer Taining Hou Chen Jing and the Guangdong military officer Ou Xin.

Ye Sheng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Wu Zhenjie, the censor of the capital of Guangxi, both passed the inspection of the anti-corruption department, but Wang Yu, the right minister, did not. Wang Yu indulged his nephew Wang Shou to guard the Guangxi government treasury. Wang Shou didn't dare to burn the warehouse with fire dragons, and extorted money in order to close the warehouse, which caused Miao people's livelihood to change.

This matter was still supervised by Xu Youzhen, the governor of the Xiupinglu Canal in Guangxi.

Wang Yu's beheading was shown to the public, and his family members, including Wang Shou, were exiled to Xiguan, which was the final result of Zhu Qiyu's handling of this civil uprising. Wang Shou and other important criminals will be executed after the court meeting is over after the investigation and supplementation is over.

It will take at least a year for this to come and go. This is a manifestation of the rigidity of the Ming system, but it can also avoid the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

According to Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the facts of the crime are clear, and all the stolen goods were obtained. Xu Youzhen found nearly 50 silver from Wang Shou's house, which was enough to hack ten times. To handle the driver's license case, Yu Shiyue had no choice but to follow the procedure and let Wang Yu live in prison for an extra year.

Yu Qian didn't know what to say about this case. The governor of Nanjing Grain Reserve Xuanxuan just showed the integrity of the literati and gave the literati a long face. Here, the right minister Wang Yu committed 50 yuan of corruption When the big case came, His Majesty relaxed a little bit from the knots of civil servants, and Wang Yu tightened up again.

Reality be damned.

Among the captives of the Miao people's rebellion, there was a list of castrated Miao people who were going to enter the palace. Zhu Qiyu originally planned to criticize Zhu directly, but suddenly saw a name, circled him alone and said: "This Wang Zhi from Dayengxia, Guiping County, Guangxi, sent to the palace. Go to King Yi's mansion and be a great companion to King Yi."

Wang Zhi, a close comrade-in-arms of Zhu Jianshen of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, a friend of Bo Wangyue of Weining, Duke of Xichang, perfected the martial arts system, presided over Chenghua Liting, and lived in Liaodong for a long time. He was one of the few eunuchs in Ming Dynasty with military talent.

Of course, the weapons of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons, and material power can only be destroyed by material power. ——Marx's "Introduction to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right", in fact, this sentence is a domestic translation, the original meaning is not so popular, and the translation standards of trustworthiness and elegance make this sentence read sonorously and powerfully.Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
