Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 305
Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "Xiangxiang, you work under Grandpa, you must be young talents who lead soldiers. In three to five years, I will let your grandfather find a handsome young talent with strong martial arts for you." Jun, be your husband."

Xiangxiang clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay! Then Xiangxiang's lifelong affairs, please leave it to my grandmother!"

All the female family members laughed again.

Bai Xiaoyan scratched Xiangxiang's nose: "You girl, you are only 11 years old, and you can't wait to get married? No shame!"

The laughter on the women's table reached King Yu's ears.King Yu said: "This group of women are happier than us! By the way, sixth son, how is Hai Rui in jail?"

He Liu nodded: "It's alright, I can eat and sleep. I've gained three or four catties!"

King Yu was surprised and said: "I heard for the first time that you can gain weight even in prison!"

He Liu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I'm going to tell you a story! When Hai Rui was the county magistrate of Chun'an, he was a clean official and indifferent to himself. He only ate the vegetables he grew every day, and every now and then he sent his wife Buy catties of tofu on the street. One day, the governor of Zhejiang Province was discussing a matter. The discussion was over, and Hu Zongxian said to everyone mysteriously: "Recently, a big event happened in Chun'an County!" Prince, guess what Hu Zongxian said is What's the big deal?"

King Yu said: "At the time Hu Zongxian was in charge of the military and government of Zhezhi, and he was in charge of the overall situation in the southeast. The big event he mentioned must be related to the anti-Japanese war, right?"

He Liu shook his head: "Wrong! Hu Butang said to the vassals, regulars, magistrates, and leading generals: "Chun'an County Magistrate Hai Rui bought meat! He bought a full two catties!" Surprised! They all said, "The sun is coming out from the west! Hai Bijia actually bought meat!" Hu Zongxian told them that Hai Rui bought meat because Haimu celebrated her [-]th birthday."

King Yu sighed and said: "I understand. Before Hai Rui entered the imperial prison, he ate green vegetables every day, so naturally he couldn't gain weight. After entering the imperial prison, you, the Beizhen envoy, took care of him and provided him with wine and meat every now and then, so he became fat. Oh, my mother celebrated her birthday, and Hai Rui only bought two catties of meat. If all the officials in my Ming Dynasty were like Hai Rui, why would the government not be clear, and the world could not be governed? If this king ascends the throne, he will definitely Reuse Hai Rui!"

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your views are different from yours. I think that a person like Hai Rui should be molded into a Buddha and enshrined in the temple, and become a moral model for our Ming officials. But you must never give him real power."

King Yu was surprised and said, "Why did Zhang Taiyue say that?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "I heard that Hai Rui decides cases in Chun'an County. He doesn't ask who is right or wrong, but only asks whether he has money or not. Rich people will definitely lose to those who have no money. In Hai Rui's eyes, the rich Born to be guilty! If my Ming Dynasty wants to prosper, I must develop commerce. The court's method of treating rich merchants as piggy banks is no longer feasible!"

Gao Gong refuted Zhang Juzheng: "I don't agree with Taiyue's words! From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, which dynasty didn't emphasize agriculture and suppress business? Could it be that the ancestors were all wrong? Merchants value profits, and if profits are heavy, it is inevitable that people will be harmed. The court's profit-seeking business..."

He Liu watched coldly, and he found that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's political views were completely different.He Liuxin thought: That is to say, King Yu has not ascended the throne, and the two of them are standing by King Yu's side for the time being.If King Yu succeeds to the throne, these two people will definitely part ways and become political enemies!

Seeing that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were facing each other, Xu Jie quickly smoothed things over and changed the subject: "By the way, this time the emperor has given Qi Jiguang the command of the three towns of Ji, Liao, and Xuan. Zhang Taiyue, you, Minister of the Ministry of War, can breathe a sigh of relief. Already!"

Zhang Juzheng nodded: "Yes, the country has good generals, and the border fortress is peaceful. This is the most obvious truth. Two years ago, Lu Fang and Chen Hong took control of the Rites and trapped Qi Jiguang in the capital! It is really unreasonable. Say a thousand words Ten thousand, I still have to thank Lao Liu. This time he overthrew the eunuchs, so that Qi Jiguang's military talent can be displayed! Come, I will offer Qi Jiguang a cup for Lao Liu."

King Yu's Mansion is throwing a big banquet.In Yongshou Palace, Emperor Jiajing summoned Lu Fang alone.

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "Oh, Lu Fang, how many years have you been with me?"

Lu Fang cupped his hands and said, "This servant has served the emperor for 47 years."

Emperor Jiajing said: "Forty-seven years, it's almost a year old! You say that you have been fascinated by power until you are old! This is good, I can't keep you anymore!"

Lu Fang kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the slaves are confused. But looking at the annals of history, how many people can maintain reason before power?"

Emperor Jiajing walked up to Lu Fang and said, "Lu Fang, you are going to Wannian auspicious land soon. Chen Hong will also be killed. Now Dongchang is managed by Huang Jin. Do you think Huang Jin manages Dongchang well? "

Lu Fang shook her head: "Your Majesty, Huang Jin can't manage Dongchang well. He is too kind-hearted, and his hands are not black. He is not the material to be the governor of Dongchang."

Emperor Jiajing nodded: "Then tell me, who can sit in the seat of the Duke of Dongchang?"

Lu Fang stared at Emperor Jiajing's dragon feet, and said a name: "Liu Da."

Emperor Jiajing smiled slightly: "Liu Da is ruthless. In order to forcefully marry the daughter of Li Chunfang's family, he did not hesitate to frame Fu Hanling. Thanks to him framing Fu Hanling, the capital lost an idle son, and the Ming border fortress had more people who can recruit." A warrior who is good at fighting. However, Liu Da has always been a military commander, not a eunuch. Letting him serve as the governor of the East Factory violates the rules set by Grandfather Cheng."

Lu Fang raised her head and looked boldly at Emperor Jiajing's face: "My lord, this servant will die forever. There is something that this servant has kept from you for too long! Then Liu Da is actually a fake military officer, a real eunuch!"

Emperor Jiajing was shocked: "What? Liu Da is a eunuch?"

Lu Fang nodded: "Your Majesty, you still remember that more than ten years ago, you gave your servant a secret decree 'Keep close to Lu Bing and Jinyiwei'. The servant thought, the best way to keep a close eye on Lu Bing and Jinyiwei is to Put a nail beside Lu Bing..."

Lu Fang told Emperor Jiajing all about how Liu Da had cut her own baby as a gift to him.

Emperor Jiajing was horrified: "It is said that Chen Hong is ruthless. Chen Hong is ruthless to others. This Liu Da is not only ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself!"

Lu Fang nodded: "Your Majesty's enlightenment! The factory and the guard should have kept each other in check. With mutual restraint, the two can only obey the emperor's order. Zhengde caused chaos in the court of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, and the factory and the guard joined together. What happened to the Ming Dynasty? The Qin people had no time to mourn themselves, and later generations mourned; what later generations mourned without learning from it, also made future generations mourn for future generations! There is a lesson from the past when the Zhengde Dynasty and the guards merged, Your Majesty Don't let the factory guards live in harmony."
