Chapter 8 Daning
After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Zhongshu Province, the power was divided into six departments, and the head of the six departments, the Tianguan of the Ministry of Officials, was the head of the official officials.When arranging shifts at the court in the morning, Jian Yi was the first civil servant.

As for the cabinet ministers, not to mention that it has not yet been established, even if it is established, the cabinet bachelor is only a mere fifth-rank, let alone compared with Jian Yi, even compared with the Tongzheng envoy, they are far behind.

The so-called Sanyang Fuzheng was actually boasted after the power of the cabinet became bigger and bigger. In the Yongle Dynasty, the well-deserved bosses were Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji. One of them was in charge of personnel and the other was in charge of finance. Not falling down is definitely the pillar of Zhu Di's subordinates.

However, these two came from Xu Zengshou's sect, or Xu Zengshou recommended it to Zhu Di.The contacts left by my father are really terrifying.

Xu Jingchang also finally understood why Yao Guangxiao was so confident in letting himself be the envoy.He must have known about the correspondence between Xu Zengshou and Zhu Di.

If Xu Jingchang is just a noble son, that's all.Once he was found to be talented and knowledgeable, how could the old monk let him go!
And this also explains why the Xu family can have one family and two masters. In addition to the relationship with Zhu Di, the approval of the courtiers is also indispensable.

All in all, Xu Jingchang felt that his status seemed to be a little higher at this time.

If I had known that there was still such a relationship, I shouldn't have agreed to the old monk so easily, and asked for a few more conditions... Xu Jingchang secretly complained to himself, but it was too late to regret.

How about visiting the thatched cottage again?
"Heavenly officials, it is also the duty of a minister to select talents and talents. My father can recommend you, he must have a policy to stabilize the country. I am also young, and being the general manager is purely to drive ducks to the shelves, and it is difficult for others. I thought about it , you are in charge of the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials, find an opportunity, give me a low evaluation, and just dismiss me and go back to the government." Xu Jingchang suggested.

When Jian Yi heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Others always begged him to give good reviews, but this was the first time I saw him actively asking for bad reviews in order to get promoted.The young master in front of him is really different.

"Young Marquis, the Tongzheng Envoy is one of the Great Nine Ministers. He is proficient in government affairs, connects internal and external affairs, and regulates the government affairs. He has a lot of power and can manage a lot of things. And you are the queen's nephew, connected with His Majesty. Relatives, no one is more suitable for this position than you. I was still worried, but I didn't expect to have such a suitable candidate as you, what luck."

Xu Jingchang remained vigilant, not only towards Yao Guangxiao, but also the kind uncle Jian Yi in front of him.

The Ministry of Officials is a place to play tricks on people, if you believe his words easily, you don't know how to die.

The more he said that the Tongzhengshi was important, the more cautious he had to be.

"It's clear how capable I am. I don't want to be in court, I just want to pursue the vast starry sky and explore the mysteries of the universe... By the way, Jian Tianguan, let me see if there is something that offends others. If you're not too big or too small, you can be dismissed from office smoothly, just tell me."

Jian Yi really couldn't laugh or cry, he really didn't expect that this son of Marquis Wuyang is really a wonderful person.

"If you want to talk about offending people, I have one thing here. Others may not be able to do it. It is King Ning Zhu Quan who wants to ask for a fief."

Xu Jingchang was stunned, "Isn't his fief in Daning? What kind of fief do you want?"

Jian Yi said: "It's like this. His Majesty intends to remove the Daning Capital Division and move it to Baoding. There is also the matter of Duoyan Sanwei. His Majesty intends to appease him, so removing the Daning Capital Division is also a gesture of good will."

Xu Jingchang gradually understood that this was because the buttocks left by the Jingnan War were not wiped clean... At the beginning, Zhu Di was short of soldiers and horses, but Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who was in Daning on the frontier, had [-] armors and [-] leather chariots. The strength is very strong.

Zhu Di hijacked Ning Wang Zhu Quan, rebelled with him, and even promised to divide the world equally after the event was completed.

Now that Zhu Di is sitting on the dragon chair, there is no doubt that it is impossible to reward Zhu Quan with half of the country, and he does not even want him to return to Daning.
As for the matter of Duoyan Sanwei, it was also the result of Zhu Di's promises all over the world.There are many Mongolian cavalrymen under his command, and Jing is difficult to succeed, and he will be rewarded for his merit.

Not to mention anything else, revoke the Daning capital and set aside this spacious pasture to show peace and friendship.

In other words, you, Zhu Dijing, are unlikely to succeed, and it's time to fulfill your promise.

Jian Yi leaned forward and said, "Xu Tongzheng, other things are easy to talk about, and I can handle it, but it involves King Ning, and I can't talk about it as a subject. Besides, the matter of Duoyan Sanwei is also not easy to handle. See if you can think about it." Think of ways to?"

Xu Jingchang thought about it seriously, and then said: "If I deal with this matter, can I find two censors to impeach me so that I can be dismissed and go home?"

Jian Yi rolled his eyelids and said sullenly, "I will do my best."

Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not difficult, as long as Daning is given to King Ning in name, and actually handed over to Duoyan Sanwei."

Jian Yi didn't understand for a while, "Xu Tongzheng, what do you mean? Are you really going to hand over the territory of Ming Dynasty to the Mongols?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "No, why would I do this kind of thing? I mean we built the Daning Capital, so we must manage it properly! Now that we are adding Enduoyan Sanwei, they may not be able to manage it, so we still have to keep it. A set of officials. When the right time comes, Daning will be handed over to them. Of course, it’s up to the court when the time is right.”

"In this way, Da Ning is still in his hands, and King Ning can't just change the fiefdom casually, so let him stay in the capital, pay the feudal king's salary every year, and just support him." Xu Jingchang said calmly.

Jian Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he was dumbfounded. This idea is really good!
King Ning must be dissatisfied because he did not get what he wanted because he participated in Jing Nan.

Zhu Di is not kind, but as the emperor, he can't pamper Zhu Quan. Anyway, he is sorry, so it is better to go to the bottom.

As for the matter of Duoyan Sanwei, give them in name, but not in reality, just delay it, preferably for 100 years.

"Xu Tongzheng, who did you learn this from, how can you be so perfect?"

Xu Jingchang smiled without saying a word, keeping a deep look.

Jian Yi didn't want to ask too many questions, so he got up quickly, dragged Xu Jingchang, and went to see Zhu Di.

It was a coincidence that they came, King Ning Zhu Quan really came to look for Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to have extravagant hopes. If I can't return to the capital of Daning, I'd rather be a vassal in the interior."

Zhu Di looked at this brother, and said in a deep voice, "Where did you fall in love with?"

"Suzhou!"

Zhu Quan said very simply: "I have no other intentions, I just want to find a prosperous and wealthy place, a gentle and kind town, where I can enjoy the wealth and glory, and I hope Your Majesty will grant you."

Zhu Di took a deep breath, he really wanted to raise Zhu Quan, but Suzhou really couldn't do it.

"It's like this. When the father killed Zhang Shicheng, the taxes in Suzhou were higher than those in other places, and Nanzhili is just under the capital. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to become a vassal."

Zhu Quan also guessed the result, but he didn't panic, but said: "Since Suzhou is not good, let's go to Qiantang, that's not bad!"

Naturally, there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, if not Suzhou, it is Hangzhou!

Zhu Di was full of anger and had no place to vent it. After all, governing the country is not just a family affair. It is normal for brothers to divide the family and property.But to distribute the most fertile land in the world to the vassals and weaken the financial resources of the court, Zhu Di can't do it no matter what.

I would rather be scolded as ungrateful, and my words don't count, Zhu Di also admitted it.

But how to say this is very difficult.

He obviously told Jian Yi to come over and help him speak, why did this guy come so slowly?
When Zhu Di was worried, Zheng He came to report, saying that it was Jian Yi and Xu Jingchang who asked to see him.

Zhu Di was overjoyed and quickly let them in.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Seventeenth brother, have you seen this young man? He is the son of Marquis Wuyang, the queen's nephew, young and smart, and can read a lot. Minister, I will not be stingy. Brother Seventeen, don't worry, but there are a lot of things going on right now, can you take it easy?"

Zhu Di said so, what else can Zhu Quan say, he can only agree.

But Jian Yi and Xu Jingchang have already discussed it, how could they miss the opportunity.

"Your Majesty, I have the courage to advise you that you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds and punished for your faults. King Ning has indeed made great contributions to His Majesty, and His Majesty cannot bear His Highness Ning's being left outside. Brothers cannot see each other day and night. How about this? If you stay in the capital, Your Majesty can give you a house for King Ning to live in." Jian Yi said loudly.

Zhu Quan was dumbfounded, who wants to stay in the capital?
At this time Xu Jingchang also smiled, "Your Majesty, King Ning's fief and salary are still retained, but he is allowed to live in the capital. After all, King Ning is different from other vassal kings, and it is reasonable for His Majesty to give him special favor."

Zhu Quan is almost scolding his mother, what kind of favor is this, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open, I don't agree!
