Chapter 29: Treat it like a wart, An Cong has to spread it
Empress Dowager Li finished her meal slowly, and then explained the story clearly.
Xu Zhenming, a bachelor of agriculture, is an unlucky guy. He offended people when he reclaimed wasteland in Zhejiang. He reclaimed wasteland to recruit refugees, so who would still be a tenant? Who will plow the fields for the good people? There is no one to plow the fields, so why don’t we let the good people plow the fields themselves?
The good people gathered together and found Fan Yingqi, the editor of Hanlin Academy.
Fan Yingqi is from Zhejiang. He paid a lot of school selection fees in the 31st year of Jiajing and donated food to the Imperial College. Finally, in the 44th year of Jiajing, he came out on top and won the first prize.
Xu Zhenming went to Shanyin, Zhejiang to reclaim wasteland. The luxury households found Fan Yingqi and asked Fan Yingqi to think of a solution. Fan Yingqi was originally a powerful man in Zhejiang, and his family had fertile land in half the county. When they heard that Xu Zhenming was actually like this The Yuroujin gentry asked the official to impeach Xu Zhenming.
The charge of impeaching Hai Rui to his official position was also that of a corrupt Jin gentry. The Jin gentry were wealthy and luxurious households who enjoyed judicial and tax privileges. This crime of being a corrupt Jin gentry brought down Hai Rui. Naturally, it would also bring down Xu Zhenming. .
Xu Zhenming just returned to Beijing from Zhejiang, trying to find someone to join and seek revenge.
When Fan Yingqi impeached Xu Zhenming, the two parties in the court, Gao Gong, Chen Hong, Zhang Juzheng, and Feng Bao, were fighting in full swing. A decisive battle was going on, and the battle was back and forth. This memorial has been approved according to the established process.
It was only after Zhang Juzheng came to power and took charge of the cabinet that it became clear what Xu Zhenming had done.
The little emperor wanted to hoe the earth. Zhang Juzheng immediately thought of this person and recommended him.
Empress Dowager Li paused for a moment, considered for a while before speaking: "The number one scholar, Fan Yingqi, is a member of the Jin Party. Yuan Fu promoted Xu Zhenming with the intention of suppressing the Jin Party."
< br>Empress Dowager Li didn't want to say more about these embarrassing things, but the little emperor wanted to take charge of the government and face these ups and downs head-on.
"Is Fan Yingqi from the Jin Party?" Zhu Yijun felt a little strange. Isn't Fan Yingqi from Zhejiang? How did he become a member of the Jin Party?
Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "Fan Yingqi was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing reign. The chief examiner of the joint examination that year was Gao Gong, and Zhang Siwei was the same examiner."
Search.
Zhang Siwei, Wang Chonggu’s nephew, will soon take office as the leader of the Jin Party after Yang Bo becomes an official. As one of the leaders of the Jiajing 44th General Examination, Fan Yingqi, the number one scholar, will naturally join him. Under the name of Zhang Siwei.
Zhang Juzheng recommended Xu Zhenming, naturally because Xu Zhenming was good at cultivating fields and water conservancy. How many people in the Ming Dynasty really studied agriculture? Zhang Juzheng searched for a long time and finally found such a person, who casually suppressed the morale of the Jin Party.
"These ministers in the court, no matter who they worship as their leader, are all fighting among themselves. The emperor sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and watches them fight to the death. When the fight comes to a result, he will issue a seal. That’s it.” Queen Mother Li spoke from her own experience.
This is another way to live, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight without fighting.
Sit on a mountain and watch a tiger fight?
Zhu Yijun knew clearly that doing so would only allow the Ming Dynasty system to run smoothly, but it would be absolutely impossible to revive it.
The disposal methods since Jiajing and Longqing are not easy to use, but they can definitely be used.
Zhu Yijun seemed to nod with approval and said: "I know, I'll sort out my experience in farming today, especially Xu Xueshi sent me a lot of annotated agricultural books, let's go and read them. "
"Go to bed early. It's hard work to prepare a banquet, practice martial arts, and even more hard work farming." Empress Dowager Li still felt sorry for the child. The child in front of her was the Ming Emperor, but he was only ten years old.
Zhu Yijun returned to the inner hall of his palace, sat down on the long desk, and began to read "Ma Yilong Nong Shuo". It was a short 6,000 words, and Xu Zhenming annotated more than 20,000 words, everything was detailed. This brought great convenience to Zhu Yijun in reading this book.
And he singled out the topics about plowing and Tibetan seeds, and translated them into the vernacular with a pencil. This busy work lasted until the Queen Mother sent a maid to urge her to take a rest. Zhu Yijun turned off the light and lay on the bed. I thought about what I had done today several times and made sure I didn't miss anything before I fell asleep with satisfaction.
The morning sun sheds golden light on the palace, and a fulfilling day began again.
This time, regarding the matter of Qi Jiguang's coming to Beijing to receive the reward, the court discussion was full of gunpowder. The two sides were going back and forth, arguing, and it was very lively, but it was not the same as Zhu Yijun who was studying seriously on the platform. No matter how big the relationship is, he is studying seriously.
After listening to a few sentences occasionally, I realized why Qi Jiguang could not be knighted, and it was so difficult to even go to Beijing to receive a reward.
The imperial court regarded Qi Jiguang as Zhuiyu, which means excrescence, that is, superfluous and useless things.
And this is not the view of one person in the family, it is even the view of the majority of people in the court, and this view is not only held by civil servants, but also by military officials.
Even the Yiwu soldiers under Qi Jiguang thought so.
Since the Longqing Peace Conference and the tribute payment by I, the northern captives no longer go south. Even if there are small groups of rogues, they can be sent away with some money. And what is the use of Qi Jiguang who is training troops?
Qi Jiguang was transferred to Ji Liao as the chief military officer, and the three towns before and after him were under his control. He had more than 100,000 people under his command. He spent a lot of money, but the result was no big achievements and constant small achievements. If this happened every time If they are all generously rewarded, won't the other generals feel resentful?
Revise the text to be gentle to people far away, and then it will become the Nine Classics of the World.
Xiuwen Yirouyuanren has just achieved great success, and my answer to the tribute is the ironclad proof!
Cultivating literature and treating distant people can save the court expenses; secondly, there will be no brave warriors to cause rebellion; thirdly, it can cultivate literature and martial arts and cultivate benevolence; fourthly, it can make accounts by building city walls to ward off enemies.
From the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing to the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty and Ada Khan fought for more than ten years, and more than ten general officers were killed. Even though they spent millions of silver every year, they still could not win. , this is a shame. However, by revising the text to soften people far away, the stability of the border was achieved.
The Ming Dynasty and the Tatar Anda Khan have settled their differences and have reconciled. Does that mean that military training is useless?
The generals, generals, commanders, and sergeants under Qi Jiguang were also extremely dissatisfied with Qi Jiguang. The peace had lasted for a long time, and the last war was seven years ago. Such strict training , Such a strict military law, stepping on a piece of rice will cost your life, so harsh punishment, how disrespectful to the sergeant?
Everyone inside and outside the court, as well as in the army, felt that Qi Jiguang's military training and resistance to enemies were just flaws. How could Qi Jiguang's ambitions be carried out? How are his military talents and talents reflected?
Regard it as a wart, how can you calmly spread it?
Qi Jiguang was regarded as superfluous and useless, both inside and outside the court, from top to bottom, officials, and soldiers. So how could his ambition be carried out?
As the most ranked military strategist in the history of the Central Plains Dynasty, Qi Jiguang was in an extremely difficult situation.
Of the twenty-seven court officials in the court meeting, only Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng did not think that Qi Jiguang was superfluous and useless.
"This matter is settled. I have informed your majesty that I will open the Emperor's Palace and reward him for his merits." Zhang Juzheng finally became impatient and chose to go his own way, which was even a bit stubborn. .
During the previous feast, the emperor had agreed to open the Emperor’s Palace to reward Qi Jiguang.
Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, whom he promoted, was the main force opposed to Qi Jiguang's entry into Beijing this time.
Jizhou is only a hundred miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and is considered a capital city. However, in terms of organization, the Jizhou town army is still the frontier army of the nine towns. It is not in line with etiquette for the frontier generals to enter the capital to open the Emperor's Palace to reward them. Zhang Juzheng's behavior, It seems that he is stepping on everyone and establishing his authority.
"I knew it, just arrogate the artifact! Wait until His Majesty takes charge, let's see what you do!" Ge Shouli was furious and looked at Zhang Juzheng. There will definitely be no good end to such manipulation of power.
How come the court meeting and the court meeting have become your sole commentator, Zhang Juzheng? !
Zhang Juzheng looked at Ge Shouli and suddenly said: "General Ge is dissatisfied with me monopolizing the banquet. How about General Ge coming to host the banquet?"
"Huh?" Ge Shouli looked at it dumbfounded. Zhang Juzheng started the inquiry from the perspective of potatoes and sweet potatoes, which yielded thousands of gold per acre. All arguments revolved around Zhang Juzheng's monopoly on giving feasts.
In Ge Shouli’s view, this is the confidence and support for Zhang Juzheng to dominate!
The little emperor was so confused and confused that Zhang Juzheng was allowed to usurp the artifact?
Now, Zhang Juzheng has actually given up such core interests!
In order to give Qi Jiguang the imperial palace reward, Zhang Juzheng was really willing to spend a lot of money!
Zhang Juzheng still maintained his elegant and easy-going smile. The little emperor's questions were too tricky, to the point that he didn't know how to answer them. Since Ge Shouli or the Jin Party wanted to take them away, then Just give it to them.
Yang Bo, who had been closing his eyes to rest and not participating in the debate, immediately opened his eyes and said: "General Ge is in charge of the constitution, patrols prefectures and counties, specializes in the inspection and impeachment of officials, and has a lot of official duties. Wanxu, it’s extremely complicated, so let’s let Bachelor Wang Xilie, Bachelor Wang Jiaping, and Fan Yingqi Hanlin preside over it.”
Ge Shouli was a little confused. He originally wanted to agree to it. Although the Imperial Court was very busy, there was only one hour every day. There is still time to teach a ten-year-old to read.
But Yang Bo seemed not to leave such an important matter to Ge Shouli.
Yang Bo believed that Ge Shouli was too straightforward and did not know how to adapt, and was not as good as Wang Jiaping.
Ge Shouli was a little disappointed. He was from Shandong, not Shanxi. Although he was a die-hard member of the Jin Party, even the core, the major events and benefits were still taken by Shanxi people.
Wang Jiaping is a native of Shanxi and a true member of the Jin Party. Wang Jiaping is also a bachelor of banquets. He has always been calm and determined not to cause trouble. At present, the core task of the Jin Party is to consolidate its position in the government and prestige.
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "It's okay."
Zhu Yijun smiled and continued writing at his desk. Zhang Juzheng sold himself to the Jin Party easily!
When Chen Shigong's three-grade one-shot gun is used to treat hemorrhoids, Zhang Juzheng will not be given fennel powder to anesthetize him for labor pains!
It’s such a happy decision!
Zhang Juzheng shuddered and felt a chill on his back. A chill shot up from his tailbone to the sky. He looked around and saw that the Ming Emperor was still studying seriously.
After the court meeting, Zhang Juzheng and the courtiers retreated in unison, and the banquet masters began to enter the palace to give a banquet.
Wang Jiaping is full of confidence. As the second-ranked Jinshi in the second year of Longqing, he boasts that he is no worse than Zhang Juzheng in terms of knowledge. Moreover, Fan Yingqi, the number one scholar in Jiajing forty-four years, is also there. Regardless of No matter what, this errand cannot be failed.
Just teach a ten-year-old little emperor to read!
"I will help your majesty clear up your doubts." Wang Jiaping greeted him very respectfully and began to talk about the feast.
“Confucius said: To govern with virtue is like Beichen, who lives in his place and all the stars share it.” Wang Jiaping took out the first sentence of The Analects of Confucius to explain. Zhu Yijun sat upright and looked at it without squinting. Looking at Wang Jiaping, waiting for his explanation.
"Explanation: The most important thing in governing a country is virtue. If your Majesty cultivates virtue, you will be like the North Star, where you can live peacefully and be surrounded by other stars."
Zhu Yijun blinked and looked at Wang Jiaping. Wang Jiaping looked at His Majesty, big eyes facing small eyes, and the atmosphere became a little solid for a moment.
"No more?" Zhu Yijun asked, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi looked at each other, and the bachelor said bravely: "Your Majesty, are you confused?"
"What is politics?" Zhu Yijun had no choice but to ask.
Read more! Read more! Read more! Pursuing reading is really important! Say important things three times! ! ! I, Xiang, who Lin and my sister-in-law, are talking about it solemnly again. Asking for all support, ah ah oh, ow~~ow! ! ! (づ￣3￣)づ
