Jingming

Chapter 228

The [-] picks from the Shenji Battalion and the [-] picks from the Fifth Army Battalion have both decided to leave Beijing, one to Huguang and the other to Sichuan.

The size of the personnel is not very large, but this time I have the consciousness to fight when I leave Beijing.The transportation of ordnance, grain and grass, and the marching route along the way must all be prepared.

Cui Yuan focused on conveying His Majesty's will to Uncle Li Quanli of Xiangcheng and Duke Xu Guangzuo of Dingguo: Wherever the march passed, whether or not the Beijing camp would have nothing to do with the local people determined his majesty's judgment on the merits and demerits of this expedition.

The purpose of implementing the new law is to benefit the common people of Ming Dynasty. If the re-established Beijing camp has no military discipline at all even with a double salary this year, it will be of course useless.

The selection of the Beijing camp has not yet started, but the news from Sichuan keeps coming.

The leaders of Jinyiwei and Neichang in Sichuan were asking for an order. Zhu Houcong also "pleaded guilty" after reading the secret report of Jinyiwei's Sichuan travel.

Because Chen Yin clarified the situation in the secret letter to him, suggesting that he send someone to share the tracking information on Gao Kewei and others with Xue Lun.

"Although I am afraid that I will miss His Majesty's plan, I think that if Gao Kewei's leader escapes, the consequences will be unpredictable. Therefore, I have the courage to send someone to inform Cheng Anbo and other generals who are pursuing Gao Kewei's whereabouts. If it is a crime, I am willing to be punished... ..."

This secret report was handed back to Jin Yiwei first, and Luo An took it over, and it was also a request.

After reading it, Zhu Houcong asked, "Chen Yin?"

Luo An immediately replied: "The original royal family's ceremonies and guards were the sons of Chen Ting, a hundred households. After arriving in Beijing, he went to Guangdong with Wang Zuo. The year before last, His Majesty ordered a minister to send a person to the Yang family. The minister and Wang Zuo ordered him. The minister has no way to rule. Your Majesty, please come down!"

Jin Yiwei sent out various provinces to walk, and the order naturally could only go from above to below.

From the inside of Jin Yiwei, they don't know what the emperor's plans are going to be.Since the previous task was only to monitor the movements of the local officials, he should not make the decision to contact the local civil and military officials directly.

This is the same reason that Xue Lun's staff persuaded Xue Lun at the beginning.

Zhu Houcong was just curious about Chen Yin.

There were also many people in the original Xingwang Mansion, and there were more than [-] Jinyi Xiaowei who served as Yiwei. Zhu Houcong did not expect that there were some people with great potential among them.

"It's useful and scheming, so what's the crime?" Zhu Houcong also understood this key point, "It's enough to plead guilty in time if you know it."

In the future, whether there will be people in other places who are greedy for merit and arbitrarily make decisions and do bad things, it will be nothing more than punishment based on facts.The balance between being proactive and being on standby but seeking nothing wrong can only be adjusted continuously through encouragement and punishment.As for some small disturbances and changes that will occur in the process, that is the due price.

In the end, it must be those who are really smart who dare to adapt.

Luo An heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the emperor did not question the crime.

Zhu Houcong said slowly: "Apart from Zhang Jin, Huang Jin and others, you are the only one who holds the most important position. Luo An, let Wang Zuo sit in the capital, and you, Cui Yuan and Zhang Zilin preside over Master Zhou's funeral and go there." Sichuan. I will give you three months to straighten out the relationship between Wei Lin and Jin Yiwei, so that after the five military battalion picks arrive in Sichuan, Fei Hong and Xue Lun can clean up Sichuan more confidently. Then, you will go Huguang."

Luo An's heart shuddered: "I obey the order."

Perhaps it was because of the death of Zhou Zhao, so Chen Yin and Jin Yiwei walked in Sichuan without authorization and did not arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction.

In Luo An's vision, the emperor's nerves should be very tense now.Just after the change of the Fifth Army Battalion, there was another rebellion by the Sichuan Inspectorate.The momentum of the new law is huge, and many people in the world are uneasy. Among the forces that the emperor can absolutely control, Jinyiwei is a very important one.

The brocade guards in Sichuan were able to survive this catastrophe, probably because of their status as former ministers of Chen Yinqian's residence.

Only Zhu Houcong has the most comprehensive information.

The consultants have no way of knowing the intelligence of the Jinyiwei and the inner factory; the emergency reports and memorials handed over by the local civil and military system through official channels will not pass the Jinyiwei and the inner factory.

Zhu Houcong's nerves were not so tense, and he even "practiced calligraphy" as usual.

"Your Majesty, what is this word?"

In the small study in the backyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Wen Suyun helped Zhu Houcong sharpen his ink.

Now, both the empress and concubine Xian have children, and among the empress and concubine, only concubine Shu Wen Suyun has never conceived.

But Zhu Houcong was not in a hurry, nor was she in a hurry.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is next to the Changle Palace where Wen Suyun lived, and Wen Suyun grew up beside Wen Zhengming, and his knowledge, calligraphy and painting attainments are among the top in today's harem.Coupled with her lively personality, Zhu Houcong often invites her to come over to fight.

"I've been busy on this matter for several months, and you haven't seen any tricks?" Zhu Houcong didn't look up, just asked casually.

"The concubine can see it naturally." Wen Suyun pouted, and then looked at Zhu Houcong with admiration, "Your Majesty wants to imitate the Emperor Qin, and then simplify the words?"

Zhu Houcong nodded: "I have almost done it, and I will leave the next thing to you to help me."

"...Concubine?"

"It's simple, you help to make a rough outline first. Next, I will arrange for your father to complete it with the Imperial Academy."

What Zhu Houcong asked Wen Suyun to help, is to make a model of a new dictionary style for this version of simplified characters that combines radicals and the number of strokes, and copy this batch of simplified characters that have been completed.

It has been nearly 2000 years since Qin Shihuang unified and simplified the writing of various countries, and then from Xiaozhuan, Lishu to regular script, and the writing has not been simplified on a larger scale.

Easier and easier to learn characters are the basis for expanding the scale of education in the next step.

Today, paper and printing technologies have improved a lot compared to Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties.In addition to the historical reason of the bamboo slips, the vertical typesetting is the strong inertia of use.

Typesetting habits can be changed or not, but if you want to promote mathematics, you still have to try it.Without a group of people with a certain degree of mathematical literacy, there may still be an obstacle to the promotion of various technologies.

The reason why the characters must be simplified is the future Ming Dynasty's demand for the number of literate people.

In Zhu Houcong's goal, illiteracy will no longer be allowed within the entire bureaucratic system in the future, and the same is true in the army.

Because of illiteracy, scholars can interpret various edicts, regulations, and official documents, making the common people and soldiers ignorant.

Coincidentally, after the new law, the entire Ming Dynasty also had a lot of demands on the number of officials, so it was an opportune time to implement this set of new things.

Wen Suyun finished this little bit of ink, stood aside with her mouth pursed, and looked at the many sheets of paper that Zhu Houcong had already written, and then turned her head to look at the emperor who was still writing new characters smoothly and intently.

To simplify so many characters with different shapes one by one, the skills needed in this are beyond Wen Suyun's imagination.

Because there are so many words already set, each one seems so natural and reasonable.

If each character can be reduced by three to five strokes or even more, then writing will naturally be much faster and learning will be easier.

He said he had been busy for several months, as if it was difficult.But even if this kind of thing is done by a great Confucianism, it is still cautious, and it often takes an unknown number of people and years of effort.

For His Majesty, it was as simple as taking another sip of tea just now.

As usual, Zhu Houcong just made a sample. According to his feelings over the past few years, he screened out a batch of hundreds of commonly used characters, and wrote out the corresponding simplified characters in his memory.

He put down his pen and stretched his wrist: "Huang Jin, move a soft stool over here. What I wrote today are not words, but words."

"Beside the words?" Wen Suyun said suspiciously, and then said, "The concubine is sitting here."

Pointing to Zhu Houcong's leg, Zhu Houcong stared.

What kind of system?

"..." Wen Suyun just likes to act like a baby with him more and more. Besides, they have been married for more than a year. Could it be that he is not familiar yet?
Huang Jin moved the soft stool with a smile, and Zhu Houcong told her about the style of the "Da Ming Dictionary" in the plan.

Now there is no so-called pinyin, so only radicals and strokes are used to look up characters.

This set of dictionaries also has a simplified and traditional comparison.

Since we want to do this, things like punctuation marks and sentence breaks must naturally be accommodated.

Because of Zhou Zhao's death, in order to show respect, Zhu Houcong stopped the court for two days and ignored the matter, and waited for the new news from Sichuan.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Wen Suyun just received a set of systematic training on writing standards, and she had to play a role in it.

"...The concubine is afraid that I won't be able to do well." She naturally felt that a woman like her was not involved in this matter.

"I've said it all, you just help me do some time-consuming and labor-intensive things, and make a show of what I just said." Zhu Houcong said while Wen Suyun was already half leaning in his arms. It wasn’t that I had to do this part myself, so I arranged for you or Huang Jin to do it.”

Another reason is to find something for them to do, so as not to get bored in the harem and only know about jealousy.

Both Sun Ming and Lin Qingping had children with them, and Zhu Houcong, the nine concubines, arranged for each of them to learn one or two musical instruments and dances.The emperor went to "investigate" from time to time, which is also a kind of PUA.

There is quite a sense of plowing the fields according to the learning effect, and by the way, enjoy the exclusive "girl group".

But Wen Suyun's energy is too strong, Zhu Houcong decided to use something like this to kill her.

"Let Carolina and Qumei study hard too." Zhu Houcong ordered again, "After you have learned well, you will teach the people who work in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Palace of Qianqing, and the Palace of Changle, and select a few who have learned well to go to the inner palace. The library."

Huang Jin said from the side: "Your Majesty, you can just teach the slaves."

"Aren't you busy enough?" Zhu Houcong glanced at him, "Except for Wei Lin, Gu Dayong, and Mai Fu, the guards in various places, especially Nanjing, go and ask Zhang Jin and Zhang Zuoyi if they are on the list."

Corresponding to the participation of all the planners going to various places, this round of major exchanges of guarding eunuchs in various important places.

After ascending the throne, Zhu Houcong on the one hand blocked Yang Ting and their request to remove the guarding eunuchs in various places, and on the other hand, he has not yet replaced the guarding eunuchs in various places.

During this process, there was the suicide of Fu Lun, the eunuch guarding Guangdong and Guangxi, and the eunuch guarding the Ganzhou mutiny.

In the next stage, the functions of guarding eunuchs in various places will gradually change, and the most important thing will be to help the emperor serve as a communication person between the Jinyiwei, the intelligence of the inner factory system, the governors of the provinces, and the chief military officers. .

In the future, I am afraid that the rest of the work will become a "head of operations" in Huangmingji's various places.

A job like this requires not only the status of a minister, but also a certain basis of accounting law.

Huang Jin went to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and when he came back, he was very happy and brought the latest news: "Your Majesty, Cheng Amber has captured Gao Kewei!"

Zhu Houcong cheered up, and patted Wen Suyun's buttocks: "Take all these and do as I say!"

After finishing speaking, he went to the imperial study room in the front yard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "Send the counselor over here!"

……

Knowing that Gao Kewei had been captured, Yang Tinghe and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all said that His Majesty was wise, the arrangement was proper, and the employment was appropriate.

Zhu Houcong said with a smile: "As I said before, the world is not so easy to mess up. If you really want to seek rebellion, you need a lot of courage. Now, the initiative is in the court. Yang Wuhou didn't ask too many things, but after Gao Kewei was arrested, Yang Junlin was frightened and said something about the situation."

After a pause, he put away his smiling face: "The reason why the Fifth Army Battalion and the Tenth Battalion of the City Guard rebelled was because of the Qianzong, how many of them were selected by Gao Kewei and Zhang Wei. These people, Even if it is a secret arrangement of some people in the capital camp. Don't think about it, it must be deeply involved in many interests such as local land and land."

Cui Yuan immediately stated: "I must discuss with Ding Guogong and others again, and thoroughly investigate the generals in the Beijing camp."

"No need!" Zhu Houcong shook his head, "It's all just ignorance. Could it be that he really planned the rebellion long ago? It's just to see if the new party's momentum and my will are shaken. Now, the more important target is Yang Junlin. He confessed another person: Ying Tianfu Yin Mengchun."

Everyone looked awe-inspiring.

Yin Tian Fu Yin, that is in the heart of Nanzhili.

"Sichuan has changed, Gao Kewei has been captured, and the news cannot be concealed." Zhu Houcong said, "Jiang Qing, Guo Xun, and Xia Yan are all in Nanjing, so you can go directly. Now the two big treason cases of Zhang Wei and Gao Kewei have been investigated. If there is a relationship, then there is no need to keep your hands. Pass the decree to Sichuan to send Yang Junlin and Gao Kewei to Beijing, and there is no need to cover up their crimes along the way. The rebels will be arrested in an instant, and let's see how many people are still brave in the world!"

After this incident, Yang Tinghe became more courageous.

The layout of the Jinyiwei and the inner factory in the provinces will definitely make the civil and military officials feel anxious.

But for the new party at this moment, their role is also clearly revealed.

The main conflict today can only be whether the new law will be implemented. As for the matter of the imperial power's stricter monitoring of civil and military officials... let's talk about it later.

At the Fourth Heavenly Court Meeting after the death of Emperor Zhou Zhao, the counselors of the Beijing Dynasty were the first to know the shocking news.

A total of seven counselors were dispatched to various provinces to serve as governors, and the Beijing Camp will select a total of [-] personnel to go to various places.In the first batch, Jiang Mian went to Nanzhili, and the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion each selected [-] forwards to go to Huguang and Sichuan.

A series of extra high-ranking positions and the sharp edge of the new law, which has been revealed, are hitting the hearts of many people who are hesitant.

At this time in Qufu, Shandong Province, Kong Wenshao, Duke of Yansheng, had just received the decree. He didn't know that the sharp blade of the Beijing camp had been unsheathed, and he didn't know that a beheaded Zhang who liked to hold a knife was about to governor Shandong.

In the third year of Jiajing's reign, the Emperor's Longevity Festival was finally going to be a big celebration.

The emperor summoned Yan Shenggong to Beijing to congratulate him. Will he go?

Kong Wenshao asked his stepmother, now Xuancheng Bo Weichun's younger sister: "Your brother really didn't hear from you?"

　I was on a business trip yesterday. I drove more than 500 kilometers a day and traveled around three cities. I really don’t have any free time. Sorry.But there can only be one chapter today, because I have been too busy at work recently.
