Brocade legend

Chapter 94
After Chengzu Yongle moved the capital to Beijing, water transportation was very important. All states and counties along the Caohe River had a general judge, and each county had a county magistrate who was in charge of Caohe affairs and was under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.

However, during the Hongzhi period, most of these full-time officials were entrusted with part-time miscellaneous tasks by government officials in various provinces, and because the task of managing rivers was difficult and difficult to promote, most of them did not perform their duties.The entire water affairs are becoming more and more slack, and no one even cares about them.

Mr. Wang asked the imperial court to take the measures of "verifying the staffing, abolishing the so-called part-time job in the local area, and ordering him to be in charge of the river channel".After the purge, a new situation appeared in the water affairs.

The second is to establish laws and regulations on "auditing assets and preventing corruption".It turns out that Caohe collects a huge amount of weeds from the people every year, and the county officials embezzle a lot of money through the collection. However, the weeds collected every year are stagnant and rotten, and the burden on the people is increasing year by year.Mr. Wang personally organized the inspection and verification, and first counted and verified the amount of weeding accumulated in each state and county.After calculation, it was found that it was enough for several years.Then measure the number of taxes, so that the grass does not accumulate rot, and the people are not trapped.

A year later, a new method of three-tenths of the annual levy was adopted, which was converted into silver reserve officials.Two years later, 3 taels of surplus silver was returned.

In addition, at that time, many prefectures and counties casually used river defense timber for other purposes, and embezzled from it. Lord Wang asked the emperor to issue an order: "States and counties along the Cao River shall not use river defense timber, and those who violate it will be severely punished."This not only preserves the exclusive use of river defense resources, but also stops the unhealthy trend of corruption and waste.

For this reason, Mr. Wang Qiong was praised for "being fair and conscientious, determined and determined, and doing what he says." ?
Mr. Wang had already noticed what Chen Hao was doing, so he specially promoted Wang Shouren as the governor of southern Jiangxi in the 11th year of Zhengde.Wang Shouren and Wang Yangming, known as the god of war and sage, put down the Chenhao rebellion. Master Wang Qiong contributed a lot, and he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the second year.

Later, Lord Wang came to the northwest, and first lifted the ban on the Western Region pass that had been closed for many years, and Turpan was not allowed to pay tribute, and resumed normal exchanges and commercial trade among ethnic groups in the border areas.

He firmly opposes the policy of closed doors and closed doors.He said in the memorial: "It is absolutely inappropriate to pay tribute, and it is inappropriate to go to harmony."He also advocated that "if you obey, caress, don't caress too much, to accept insults; if you go against, reject, don't reject deeply, to poor soldiers".

However, he insisted on cracking down on looting for no reason. For example, he adopted a combination of suppression and appeasement to solve the bandits who invaded Ningxia and looted Lintao.

Wang Qiong ruled the three sides for several years, assisted Hami, protected the north, and gathered troops to fight against Ruolong and Baner. beneficial.

At the same time, he summarized the gains and losses of Ningbian in the past dynasties, and collected all regulations and memorials.Tu Yu edited one volume each of "Deeds of Xifan" and "Stories of North Side", which were circulated in Beijiubian.

Mr. Wang has outstanding military exploits and excellent literary talents. In the seventh year of Jiajing, Mr. Wang was 70 years old. He passed by Jincheng on the way to the west, and once visited Wanghe Tower in Lanzhou with Peng Ze.Make seven laws:

As soon as he went up to the tall building, he was excited to fly, but Gaolan's situation was rare.

Since the past, Hehuang has been able to pass through the water, and the Qiang captives have no right and wrong from now on.

Thousands of winds and clouds are in the air, and the autumn air is somber, and the sound of rain is falling behind the flags of the Sichuan people.

It is my Confucian business to dismantle the old ones, and to settle down and return home.”

The unrestrained and resolute momentum of the poems and prose, and the unshirkable spirit of being responsible for the country's borders, are vivid on the paper.

When Lu Bing heard Huang Duxian say that Master Wang Qiong was critically ill, he felt sorry for it, and at the same time he understood why the little prince played so many tricks, ran twice around the border of the Ming Dynasty, and finally wanted to fight Yulin.

When Lord Wang Qiong was around, the little prince was not sure that he could win over Lord Wang's prestige and methods.Now I must have got the news, it is expected that Mr. Wang Qiong is no longer able to control the overall situation, so he dares to come here to be presumptuous.

Last year, Mr. Wang was unwell. The emperor was considerate of Mr. Wang's age, so he transferred Mr. Wang back to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

But the boss is concerned about the north, so he must make proper arrangements and hand over to the new head before he is willing to go back.

As a result, Shaanxi was hit by disasters one after another, and the people were in poverty. The imperial court sent Tang Long, and Mr. Wang couldn't bear to leave.

Later, the little prince harassed the side again, forcing him to open the tribute market. Mr. Wang hated this kind of behavior the most, so of course he was determined not to allow it.

The little prince saw that he was not doing well in Shaanxi, and because of the underground horse market, he had no choice but to go to Xuanfu.

And Master Tang Long Tang, as the head of the trilateral system, had no choice but to put down the stall in Shaanxi first, and asked Mr. Wang to do it for him, while he also went to Xuanfu to defend against the enemy.

As for Mr. Wang, he has been in the Northland for several months since he arrived here, and his condition is getting worse.

His family persuaded him to leave, but he never agreed.

Finally, with the help of Lu Bing, Tang Long settled the affairs of the Xuanfu and returned to Shaanxi.

And Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore, and fell seriously ill.

When Lu Bing and others received the news, they rushed to Yulin immediately.

When Lu Bing and others rushed to Yulin, Tang Long was already waiting at the city gate.

Lu Bing jumped down, Tang Long stepped forward, before he had time to exchange greetings, he said, "Master Wang is seriously ill, sometimes he is in a coma, and rarely wakes up, but when he heard that you are coming, Master Wang said that he must see you."

Lu Bing hurriedly said: "It's not too late, let's go there right away!"

Tang Long brought Lu Bing to Mr. Wang Qiong's mansion, Mr. Wang's eldest son Wang Chao stood at the door to welcome him, and led Lu Bing to the backyard.

At this moment, Mr. Wang was in a coma. Lu Bing didn't dare to disturb him. He stood in the courtyard and chatted with Tang Long.

Lu Bing told Tang Long what happened on the way to Yulin.

Hearing the tragic situation in the village, Tang Long sighed, and said: "No wonder the little prince has not been found before. After receiving the news from Mr. Lu, he immediately sent someone to check, but he never got accurate information. According to the news, the banner of the little prince was not discovered until not long ago."

Lu Bing asked: "Does Master Wang have any arrangements now?"

Tang Long nodded and said: "Yulin Town has been strictly guarded, and our spies have also found the trace of the little prince. I'm afraid it's not far from Yulin at this time. I'm just waiting for the arrival of Master Lu. I have to go to the outside of Yulin to set up defenses." .”

Lu Bing thought for a while, and said: "After seeing the boss, the next official will go with the boss?"

Tang Long nodded in agreement.

At this time, Wang Chaoli, the eldest son of the Wang family, came out, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Lu, father is awake, I heard that your lord is coming, and you are in a hurry to see him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bing flicked his coat and hat respectfully, and then followed Wang Chaoli into the back room. Before Tang Long was summoned, he waited for Lu Bing in the courtyard.

When Lu Bing entered the room, he saw a mahogany bed with gauze curtains hanging on it. An old man with white beard was lying halfway against the maid. Seeing Lu Bing coming in, a gleam of light flashed in his drowsy eyes.

That old man was Mrs. Wang Qi. When Wang Qiong saw Lu Bing coming in, he waved his hand to let the maid and everyone in the room back out.
