Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1943 The focus of the emperor's return to Japan (卌一)
Compared with Zhu Yijun, the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty who made another circle when he regained the left-wing Mongolia, he is sitting in the warm West Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, listening to the reports of the three Dongchang masters with a blank face. .

"That is to say, the folks thought that the war was over, and they were celebrating that the Ming Dynasty would once again survive and die, and that it would shake the world, while some people in the outer dynasty jumped out impatiently and hoped that Rixin would return to the dynasty immediately. Cancel the commercial tax imposed on the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Yes, my lord." The three big pengs responded at the same time.

"Is the cabinet still arguing?" The emperor casually flipped through a few memorials, seemingly not interested, then turned to Chen Ju and said, "If it's all these congratulations, then don't show them to me. If there is anything to say Judge, bring it again."

Chen Ju replied "Yes", stepped forward and swiftly put the memorial aside, but did not say a word.On the other side, an eunuch who was also wearing a python robe replied: "Go back to the emperor, the cabinet has finished arguing, it seems that the Daoists are dissatisfied with Yuanfu's last words."

This sentence aroused the emperor's interest, and he was even a little surprised. He asked, "Dissatisfied with Mr. Wang? Why?" Zhu Yijun wondered: What's wrong with Wang Jiaping?

The boa-robed eunuch replied: "It's roughly that the quarrel ended with no results, so the officials asked how the cabinet would respond. Walk away in a fit of anger, and the two sides parted unhappy."

"There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings." Zhu Yijun snorted softly, and said mockingly: "If Rixin really came back, how dare this group of people be so noisy."

After a pause, he couldn't help but sighed: "Mr. Wang's Yuanfu is probably just as tasteless. Since there are seven, no. I'm afraid Mr. will be impeached soon.

However, now is not the time for him to thank guests behind closed doors... Wang An, please arrange to let Mr. Liang Ge and Mr. Zhou Ge know my intentions. At least make sure that Mr. Wang will not be disappointed before Ri Xin returns to the court. .

Chen Ju, look for an opportunity to pay a personal visit to Mr. Wang, and say that the Chaozhan was won when he was in power. I am very satisfied with this, and I am still waiting for grace... How should you say this specifically? Figure it out. "

The two boa-robed eunuchs immediately responded respectfully.Here Chen Ju is an old acquaintance, so there is no need to introduce him, but "Wang An" wants to introduce.

After Zhang Jing's downfall that year, Zhang Cheng succeeded him as the Chief Bingbi Eunuch of the Rites Supervisor and concurrently served as the Admiral of the East Factory as usual.This Zhang Cheng actually came from the same school as Zhang Jing, and they were both godsons of the great eunuch Zhang Hong, but the relationship between Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing is not very good - after all, they are actually very introverted.

Although the relationship is not good, after Zhang Cheng came to power, he gradually turned against Gao Yushi, secretly united with Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, and encouraged the School of Mind to confront Gao Yushi.It's a pity that the Heart School didn't dare to be too blatant, and only dared to make trouble behind their backs. However, the high-level and pragmatic credits accumulated more and more, and these methods did not have any effect in the end.

If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. Although Shen Shixing has always wanted to control the intensity of the party struggle, who would have expected that the Caojun riot in the south of the Yangtze River would eventually become a big problem.As a result, the elders Shen and Wang would inevitably have to pay for the nonsense of the people below because they were not strict with their orders, so they both resigned from office.

Up to this point, Zhang Cheng hadn't been fully exposed. Gao Wushi only knew through the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he had secretly visited Shen Shixing several times.Zhang Cheng's real exposure was because he was terrified by the resignation of Shen and Wang, and went to the Wuqing Marquis Mansion in a hurry to seek a relationship with the Wuqing Marquis, and made a marriage out of it.

Although Zhang Cheng himself is an eunuch, he is not the only seedling in his family, he has brothers.In desperation, he clings to Li Chengming, son of the second generation Wuqing Marquis Li Wenquan, for his niece.Li Chengming is the eldest son of Li Wenquan. In theory, as long as he survives his father, he will be the next generation of Wu Qinghou.

Li Wei, the first Marquis of Wu Qing, was the father of Zhu Yijun's birth mother, Queen Mother Li, so Li Wenquan was the uncle of the country, and Li Chengming was correspondingly Zhu Yijun's cousin.

Now that Zhang Cheng's niece is married to the emperor's cousin, doesn't that mean that she is also a relative of the emperor?Besides, the Wuqing Marquis Mansion is not an ordinary Marquis Mansion, and its status is very unique, so Zhang Cheng thinks that he should be safe.

The Marquis of Wuqing's Mansion was indeed extraordinary. After Li Wei's death, his grandson even insisted on posthumously gifting him the Grand Tutor, the Duke of An, and Zhuang Jian—of course, this was a posthumous honor, and his son Li Wenquan still inherited Wu Qinghou.

However, inheriting Marquis Wuqing itself is still an exception, because the title of foreign relatives is different from the title of hero, it is not the title of Spy, so it is unreasonable to inherit like this.But Zhu Yijun didn't care, he wanted to show filial piety, so when he approved the objections to Shangshu, he sent them all away with "remembering the kindness of the queen mother".

This gives people an illusion that "Wu Qinghou is extremely holy", and it is also the reason why Zhang Cheng rushed to the doctor for his illness.

It's a pity that Zhang Cheng didn't understand one thing. Zhu Yijun was not so kind to the Marquis of Wuqing Mansion because of the "sacred family". He just needs some things to show filial piety as his holy son now that his martial arts are at their peak. Just embellishment.

Then something happened: the Taoist officials flocked to impeach Zhang Cheng for illegal collusion and clinging, and some even said that Zhang Cheng was the admiral of the East Factory, and he even befriended and became an in-law with him.

To be honest, Li Wenquan, Marquis of the Wu Qing Dynasty, was indeed the nominal governor of the Fifth Army, the Zuo Dudu. If one person can't be adjusted, why should the thing "conspire against the law"?
However, the facts are not important, the important thing is that the rules must not be broken, so this incident became a big deal, so big that the emperor had to severely punish Zhang Cheng to protect Li Wenquan.As a result, Li Wenquan was only fined for three months, but Zhang Cheng got the fate of "relegating him to the emperor and sending incense to the guard of Xiaoling", and he went to burn incense to Zhu Yuanzhang with his dry brother Zhang Jing.

After Zhang Cheng left, the chief eunuch Bingbi was absent, and Chen Ju, as the chief eunuch of palm printing, had the right to recommend, so he recommended Wang An.

Wang An was born in Xiong County, Baoding (now Xiong'an New District), and he was considered a heavyweight in the late Ming Dynasty in the original history.He should have been recommended by Chen Ju in the 22nd year of Wanli, and he was ordered to accompany the crown prince to study and rise to prominence.

When Concubine Zheng conspired to make her own son the crown prince, and the crown prince was in crisis, Wang An would usually protect him.So when Guangzong came to the throne, he was promoted to be the eunuch of Si Li Bingbi, and he persuaded Guangzong to reuse Yang Lian, Liu Yixiu and others.But soon Guangzong died, Xizong came to the throne, and Wang An assisted Tianqi to move Li Xuan out of Qianqing Palace and move to Xiaoluan Palace.

However, Wang An's fate was not good. After Wei Zhongxian and Hakka gained power, he was killed.Generally speaking, his position in the original history was close to the civil servants and consciously opposed the excessive interference of eunuchs in politics—even if he was an eunuch himself.

Although the civil servants he is close to are Donglin Party, Gao Yushi doesn't mind this, after all, the original history is too different from the present, and the situation and propositions of the early Donglin Party and the late Donglin Party are not the same at all. Therefore, Gao Pragmatism supported Chen Ju's recommendation, and Wang An successfully became the admiral of the East Factory.

That is to say, the current supervisor of ceremonies, from the palm print to the chief pen, can be regarded as a highly pragmatic person.

When Zhu Yijun explained these two things to Chen Ju and Wang An, the two of them could of course hear the implication: the emperor wanted to keep Wang Jiaping, and the time limit for keeping Wang Jiaping was at least before Gao Yushi returned to court.

It is obvious that the emperor has a purpose to delay such a time, what could be the purpose?It's not hard to guess, the two thought at the same time: fill in the vacancy.

The current cabinet ranks are as follows: Wang Jiaping, a scholar of Zhongji Temple, Liang Menglong, a scholar of Jianji Temple, Gao Yushi, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, Zhao Zhigao, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Shen Yiguan, a University scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Zhou Yong, a scholar of Dongge University.

Here, because of his age, Liang Menglong had already made up his mind to resign as soon as possible. If he resigned, Gao Yushi would be replaced as a Second Assistant Jianji Temple University Bachelor.

However, what if Wang Jiaping, the chief assistant, also goes away at the same time?Then the high pragmatism will definitely be directly replaced as the first assistant!

In the case of a great victory in the Korean War, it happened that both the first assistant and the second assistant were removed, so why not replace the high-pragmatic high-level assistant who has made great achievements again as the first assistant?What a coincidence, perfect reward!

To be honest, Chen Ju and Wang An breathed a sigh of relief when they thought of this.Why?Because when the imperial war reached the point where only Busan and two or three surrounding cities were left in the Japanese army, the imperial court was struggling with one thing, both internally and externally, and that was what to do with the remuneration after the triumphant return of high pragmatism.

Why do you say that?In fact, it has been said many times in the previous article. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, military merit is the most important merit, and basically non-military merit cannot be knighted.

Although Gao Yushi was a civil servant, he was also knighted as Marquis of Nanning because of his military achievements, which is very reasonable.However, since he is already the Marquis of Nanning, what if he has great military achievements?Ah, of course you can only continue to seal, but if you continue to seal, you can only seal the Duke!It's over!

Gao Yushi is only in his thirties, and this is the top letter. In the future, if the Chahar tribe who fled to the Western Regions does something else, Gao Yushi, as the number one literary commander in the world, will go to the West again... Once he triumphs again, Wouldn't it mean that there is no seal and no reward, so what should I do?

It is precisely because of this "hidden worry" that the imperial court—regardless of whether it is internal or external, everyone feels that there is one head and two big ones.It's good now, if it "happens" that Gao Yushi returns to the court, and both the first assistant and the second assistant go, then the emperor only needs to let him succeed as the first assistant and can use it as a reward, without worrying about imminently conferring a young and talented person. For the Duke of the country, everyone is happy.

After Chen Ju, Wang An and the three Da Dang left, Zhu Yijun clapped his hands again.

Liu Ping walked out from the inner room of Xinuan Pavilion with a bowed body, knelt down and said, "What is the emperor's order?"

Zhu Yijun didn't answer immediately, instead he paced around slowly twice, and then asked: "Is the report from Nanyang reliable?"

Liu Ping didn't raise his head, but his tone was very firm: "Go back to the emperor, it's reliable."

"There are so many good fields?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"Your Majesty, to be precise, it is fertile land that can be reclaimed... After all, most of it is still deserted right now." Liu Ping said cautiously.

"Well...that's pretty much the same." Zhu Yijun replied casually, then frowned and said, "Rixin has never been stingy, and I know this, but such a large number of [-] hectares is really astonishing." Do you think Rixin has other intentions in doing this?"

"My lord, with the wisdom of Mr. Gao Ge, even if he really has some intentions, I am afraid that the slaves will not be able to see it. However, from the humble opinion of the slaves, no matter whether Mr. Gao Ge has deep meaning or not, there is nothing to worry about for the emperor. .”

"Really?" Zhu Yijun frowned, thought about it seriously, and said: "But even if I want to reclaim [-] hectares of land, the manpower needed is not easy to raise. After all, these lands are used to build Huangzhuang , once some people find out, they will definitely be caught talking nonsense again. Although I can ignore them, but there are too many people like this, it will always be a bit annoying."

Liu Ping didn't quite understand the emperor's intentions in saying these words, so he didn't dare to answer casually, lest he make too many mistakes, so he said: "The emperor is holy."

"Don't be sloppy, you can't understand what I mean? I mean, although I will reclaim [-] hectares of Huangzhuang, although it is a cornucopia in the long run, but at the beginning, I have to mobilize a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and these lands are all in Nanyang. That island... that place should be said to be completely in the hands of Nissin now, huh?"

Liu Ping was a little more certain now. It seemed that His Majesty the Emperor was worried that since the place was completely in the hands of Gao Yushi, if he invested a huge amount of money to complete the reclamation, something unexpected happened later...

Liu Ping hurriedly said: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's minister. Even if the place was taken by Gao Ge's subordinates, it still needs the emperor's will to occupy it legally. Besides, Xinzheng Gao The clan is a famous Confucian sect and the family of eunuchs, how could Elder Gao Ge make fun of such a thing?"

"Then have you ever calculated how many people and how much money are needed to reclaim these [-] hectares of land? Where do the people come from, and is the money enough?"

Liu Ping replied: "My lord, human affairs are said to be difficult to handle, but they are actually easy to handle."

"Really? What should I do?" Zhu Yijun was a little curious.

"Just follow Gao Ge's method and follow the gourd to draw a ladle." Liu Ping explained: "Gao Ge has moved many people to southern Xinjiang over the years, but the court officials did not attack such a big event. Does your lord know why?"

"Tell me about it." Zhu Yijun said.

"That's because these people are... How should I put it, if Mr. Gao Ge doesn't send them to the southern border, then I'm afraid there are only two ways for them to go, one is to starve to death, and the other is... to cause disaster to the local area."

Zhu Yijun immediately understood: "Oh, the people he relocated are all disaster victims and refugees, right? Well, this is a good idea."

Zhu Yijun has been the emperor for so many years, of course he also knows that what Liu Ping said just now is actually a good way to say it, especially the "disaster for the local area"-a joke, if you really want to starve to death, as long as someone in the local area raises their arms and shouts, where can they be? It's just that it's as simple as "causing harm to the local area", and if it's not done well, it will be a riot.

Liu Pingdao: "Yes, I don't know what happened these years. All kinds of disasters have become more and more frequent. Especially in the north, it is getting colder every year. Many people in the Central Plains and Northwest have a hard time. Once a disaster occurs, the county is connected with the county and the government. There are refugees everywhere in the Lianlian Mansion. Mr. Gao Ge sent them to the southern border to reclaim wasteland, no matter what he said, he could keep them fed. It is precisely for this reason that even those officials have nothing to say."

Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Since that's the case, then my Huangzhuang can also do it, right?"
