Chapter 422: Having been here is enough
Zhu Yijun was reading the Overseas Chronicles of the Inca Kingdom. He had to say that the Ming Dynasty’s intelligence collection capabilities impressed Zhu Yijun. The Inca king or the special products and population of the Viceroyalty of Peru , industries, ports and other information are all written clearly and clearly in Fan Guozhi.
The sources of the information are very extensive. After mutual confirmation, they were provided to the emperor for detailed information. I cannot say it is very comprehensive, but it is all verified information.
Conversations between Thai and Western sailors. Thai and Western sailors are all big talkers. They drink half a pound of national cellar. They really tell everything they know. True and false news are all leaked out. Every time Three to five large sailing ships arrived at the port each time, with more than a thousand sailors. Their information may be true or false, but it was enough for Daming to get a vague overview.
The sailors of the Ming Dynasty are the second source of intelligence. Every time Taixi goes to the Ming Dynasty, he must buy a varying number of five-masted ocean-going ships. These ships need sailors and need to be supplemented from the Ming Dynasty. Maritime Academy The booming development of Hekaihai and the bad status quo of mergers have resulted in the Ming Dynasty having no shortage of people who are willing to go to sea to fight. The main components of the Ming Dynasty pirates are desperadoes.
The person responsible for the intelligence work of these Ming sailors is the boat master trained by the Maritime Academy.
The Songjiang Maritime School of the Ming Dynasty is indeed a training school for navy masters. Every one of them is carefully selected. They are trained in the art of crossing the ocean, stargazing, hydrology, geology, arithmetic, foreign literature, etc., which are cultivated by the Ming Dynasty. Professional talents, to be more clear, are all created with money.
Every naval officer is also a spy. When they are guiding the European and American ships across the ocean, they will also secretly compile and summarize various intelligence provided by the sailors. Finally, this intelligence is gathered together in the Ministry of Rites , became the overseas Chinese aspiration in the hands of Zhu Yijun.
The Viceroyalty of Peru has a population of more than 10 million people. This number is very shocking. Even the Japanese country has only 9 million people, and the Annan Kingdom has only 10 million people, but Annan can It is not the Bronze Age. Annan followed the Ming Dynasty and has steadily entered the feudal era.
The Viceroyalty of Peru has such a huge population, but only bronzes can be used. Blocking the mines will block the development of civilization. This is confirmed by the practice of the Inca Kingdom.
Zhu Yijun's four-character judgment can be described as cold-blooded and ruthless to the extreme. In other words, the primary goal of Ming Dynasty's overseas development is minerals. After the minerals are isolated from the indigenous people, they will be trapped in an era forever. There is no glimmer of civilization to be seen.
Take the Japanese country as an example. Once the Ming Dynasty controls all the silver mountains in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country will completely miss the opportunity for development.
Wan Shihe, as a member of the imperial party and a wallflower, suddenly mentioned that His Majesty was too cold-blooded and ruthless before the previous meeting at the Wenhua Palace. This was what he was talking about.
But what can be done? Imperial Master Zhang Juzheng also criticized His Majesty for having a benevolent heart.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Lu is outside asking for an audience." A small yellow door hurriedly came to the imperial study room, interrupting Zhu Yijun's thoughts.
"Xuan, this guy is used to being lazy. He usually hides and hides when he can, but today it's strange. Why did he take the initiative to come to the door?" Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao with a strange look on his face and asked. : "Did something happen in Prince Lu's Mansion?"
"A beautiful woman from all over the world died by hanging herself. I have seen it, and it is true that she hanged herself." Feng Bao bowed his head and said.
Something happened in Prince Lu's Mansion. In Feng Bao's opinion, it was just a trivial matter. It is completely normal for someone to die in this palace. He either knew a secret that he shouldn't know or was involved in a dog fight. This is how Feng Bao and Zhang Hong climbed up after being completely defeated.
"My brother, I see your majesty, long live your majesty." King Zhu Yili of Lu behaved very politely.
Zhu Yijun sat up straight, straightened his collar, and said, "Prince Lu, please take a seat without any courtesy. You are not taking a bath today, so why did you come to Tonghe Palace to find me?"
This is really strange. Prince Zhu Yili of Lu was very polite and courteous. Zhu Yijun also showed off the emperor airs that he rarely showed in front of his younger brother. The smell came up after just scratching.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Yijun sat on the stool, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to give me some royal skills."
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yijun was joking. He calmed down his thoughts. Zhu Yiliu has grown up and rarely wants anything other than beauties from all over the world.
"A maidservant died in Prince Lu's Mansion, which disturbed Your Majesty. Your Majesty, it is the maidservant who died today, and my brother who dies tomorrow!" Zhu Yixi explained the purpose of his visit.
Zhu Yixun was a very smart man. Empress Dowager Li grounded him and asked him to follow the emperor to continue to govern. The Ming Dynasty was in full swing and he made a lot of profits. In the future, Zhu Yixun, the king of Lu, will probably be granted the title of king. If he goes overseas, he can't even control Prince Lu's Mansion today. In the future, when he goes overseas, he may be eaten up by his subordinates and he doesn't know how he will die.
Zhu Yili really just wanted to live and die, but the power of the Ming Dynasty required him to go overseas to establish a vassal state.
If he had a choice, Zhu Yili wanted to go to Guihua City, but he knew that he couldn't go to Beilu. If he went, His Majesty would have trouble sleeping and eating. The Ming Dynasty had already experienced a crisis. successful experience in military service.
Zhu Yijun understood what Zhu Yixi was asking for, thought for a while and said: "King Lu, I can teach you the journey of the great road."
"Don't learn, don't learn, Your Majesty, I will If you don't learn the journey of the great road, this journey of the great road will be too hard!" Zhu Yiliu's expression changed when he heard this, and he waved his hands and said, "My brother is too stupid to learn the journey of the great road."
Learn the journey of the great road. On the road to the great road, will you be a donkey in the mill like your emperor? What time has it been? Your emperor is still reviewing memorials and playing tricks with the courtiers in the study room of Tonghe Palace.
Learning this great path must be a busy life, and Zhu Yili has no idea of opening up, so why bother with others.
Sometimes, Zhu Yili was also very desperate. When he was a child, he had a little interest in the dragon chair, but faced the terrible oppression of the emperor brother and the discussion between the emperor brother and Zhang Juzheng. Zhu Yili was completely convinced by those questions. He was not the material.
The Ming Dynasty needs Zhang Juzheng, and even more needs His Majesty.
"Do you only learn the art of imperial service? I am best at the journey of the great road." Zhu Yijun did not want to give up, just like Zhu Zaiyu refused to give up training the emperor to learn music. Zhu Yijun was fond of being a teacher, so he asked Zhu Yijun for advice When he did it, he immediately made a mistake, he really wanted to teach.
Zhu Yiliu nodded hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, my brother only learns the art of imperialism!"
"Learn the art of imperialism and pretend to be like it, and then recover, so Aren't you tired from talking?" Zhu Yijun leaned back in his chair and lost all his imperial airs. Naturally, he had to take his trip to the avenue seriously.
“Brother, you don’t even know, I’m almost scared to death! That palace maid was just hanging on the beam, her tongue was sticking out, she was hanging on the beam, spinning and spinning. , I had a nightmare yesterday, it was the palace maid who was asking for her life!" Zhu Yili immediately broke through and started mourning.
Zhu Yili had never seen a dead person. He was not yet a man, nor was he married. The Queen Mother and the Emperor protected Zhu Yili very well.
Zhu Yijun is different. He is the emperor. He has to face these ups and downs since he succeeded to the throne, so he has to go to the Meridian Gate to jail and even kill people himself.
"No more. You have nothing to do. Why hang yourself?" Zhu Yijun patted the table and signaled Zhu Yili to calm down.
"Actually, there are several types of imperial skills. Let's teach you from the beginning. There is actually no difference between Prince Lu's Mansion and the Imperial Court. They are roughly divided into three factions. The first faction is the most radical in doing things, the second faction is extremely conservative in doing things, and the third faction is the most radical in doing things. The three factions remained silent. "Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Li'er, you have been following the government for so long. Can you analyze which faction the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Jin Party belong to?" br>
Zhu Yili thought for a moment and said: "The Zhejiang Party is undoubtedly a radical faction. Their memorials and opinions are always more radical than Mr. Xian's. Their attitude towards the Northern barbarians is to fight whenever possible, and towards overseas barbarians." I think so. What did Da Sima say? A dead Japanese pirate is a good Japanese pirate!” If their vested interests become larger, they will be targeted by the court, and if they become weaker, their interests will be damaged. Therefore, they act conservatively and maintain the status quo. "
"Mr. It’s a bit of both sides, both radical and conservative. In many things, it seems to be a little too careless about the bottom. But after watching it for so long, it’s all Mr. who is deciding which method is most beneficial to Ming Dynasty. As my brother said, no The perfect policy is the only one that is more appropriate at the moment."
"Sir, he seems to have a neutral style, but he is actually following the official path and does not belong to that group."< br>
“It’s those people who are silent. They neither oppose nor support a government decree. They always look ambiguous. It’s okay to do this, and it’s okay to do that. They seem to follow the crowd. Such people are like "Neutral faction."
"Well!" Zhu Yijun couldn't help but nodded. This boy is very smart, but he is just a noble person who doesn't want to work. Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "What about Wan Dazai, Wan Shihe?" Which faction do you belong to?"
Zhu Yiliu thought for a moment and said, "Wan Dazai is a conciliatory person who can speak in all aspects. He belongs to the middle class."
"Yes, kid. "Come on, learn from me about Dao Dao. If you have this talent, how about I give you an identity, go to the border army to train for a few years, and then go to the Jiangnan area where conflicts are fierce to manage a county?" Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up. The kid must be hiding his clumsiness on weekdays.
This skill of recognizing people is obviously qualified.
"Brother, do you want to listen to what you say, go to the border army to practice, and then go to the county hall to be the county magistrate?" Zhu Yiyi clenched his fists, his attitude was very determined, it sounded scary, how busy would he be? Who will favor the beauties from all over the world?
Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "That's okay. With the word "Hongyi", you can only insist on the beauties from all over the world. Can you tell me which of these three factions do you think we should beware of the most?"
"Radical faction?" Zhu Yiyi asked in a daze.
"If you don't hold the radicals in check, they can kill themselves, so why bother taking precautions?" Zhu Yijun shook his head and said.
Zhu Yixuan remembered the old incident of Tan Lun's plan to kill the third lady and provoke a war in Xuanfu. This radical group has always been radical in doing things. He can kill himself without anyone having to deal with him.
“Is that a conservative?” Zhu Yili asked again.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "What conservatives dislike most is change. They wish that the world would remain the same. If you don't want to revolutionize the old and make new changes, and just want to live and die, they are the most reliable, because they want They have status and resources, and as long as they are guaranteed not to change, they are the most stable."
"Conservatives are also the most numerous."
"They are the centrists. ?" Zhu Yili asked in surprise.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "That's the neutral faction, Li'er, are there really people in Vanity Fair who won't fight for it? Why would they want to enter the Vanity Fair if they don't fight for it? What makes them look around. Yes. Is it the mentality of being indifferent to the world? No, it is weakness, and it is weakness that makes them neutral. In Vanity Fair, there are no neutrals in this world. They are actually more dangerous than radicals, because they are more thirsty for change."
"Because only changes can provide opportunities."
"It may be difficult to understand if you say it so dryly. Let me give you an example, Xu Jie!"
Zhu Yixuan was originally Drowsily, when he heard the two words Xu Jie, he immediately understood it completely. He immediately said: "I understand! He is worthy of being an imperial brother, that's it! Yes, Xu Jie has been in power for twenty years. The country is simply abominable!”
Zhu Yili immediately understood what he should be afraid of most. There were no neutral factions. It was all because he did not have enough strength to fight and rob, so he waited for the opportunity to bite. A man's dog that doesn't bark is as dangerous as a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows.
Zhu Yijun nodded and continued: "The first skill we want to teach you is the skill of balance. If you master this skill, you can at least sit back and relax."
"The skill of balance is the most powerful. Simple, remember these words, power is given to neutrals, benefits are given to conservatives, and reputation is given to radicals. "Neutrals are neutral because they are weak. They need power the most. When they have power, they will look for others to exchange for benefits and reputation." , Slowly, the neutral people will become what they once hated the most."
"The radicals have the smallest number, and they need more support, so you put your reputation on them. Give it to them, let them gain support, and then they themselves will perish."
"Conservatives have the largest number, but they are also the cornerstone for you to wait for death. If the benefits are given to them, your status will be even stronger. "Stable."
Zhu Yixi thought for a moment and immediately shook his head and said: "No, if this continues, all the benefits will go to the conservatives. Then won't everyone become conservatives? What kind of balance is this?" ?”
Zhu Yili discovered a blind spot. Where is the balance? The conservatives themselves are strong enough, and if they are given benefits, they will only get stronger and stronger.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Hahaha, congratulations to our brother, you understand, you hate this distribution, right? It's okay if you hate it, it's not fair, but there is nothing fair in this world. , in fact, this is the fundamental reason for the annexation. Maintaining the stability of the upper-level rule is the first prerequisite for waiting for death!” , not learning the path of Taoism is a slow death process in itself, but the span of this merger is as long as two to three hundred years."
"They all chose to wait for death and take care of them after death. "The flood is overwhelming."
Zhu Yijun smiled, then stopped smiling, his face became lost, and he leaned back in the chair, his face getting more and more ugly, obviously thinking of something very unpleasant, Zhang Juzheng. He is an alien, and Zhu Yijun is also an alien. Daming's journey to the great road will inevitably come to an abrupt end after they leave.
What a discouraging reality!
All efforts will be in vain in the end, all efforts will be in vain, and then we will embark on the determined destiny.
A reform destined to fail, a futile struggle.
Zhu Yijun quickly thought of Zhang Juzheng. Perhaps Zhang Juzheng already knew his inevitable ending, but he still resolutely embarked on this path. What is Hongyi? This is Hongyi.
Zhu Yijun quickly showed a smile. He is not the kind of person who is easily depressed. So what if he is doomed to fail? Having been here is enough.
"This, this, this, is really despised behavior!" Zhu Yixuan said fiercely: "If we continue to distribute it like this, the benefits will be fixed! Stability is stable. Brother, can we balance it? The radical ones can also get some. "What about the benefits?"
"No." Zhu Yijun sat up straight and looked at Zhu Yili and said quite accurately: "If you want to wait until death, the basic base is conservative. When you give benefits to radicals, , the conservatives will kill you, twice if you fail, and ten times if you fail twice."
"This..." Zhu Yili's young mind finally started to shut down.
Zhu Yijun continued: "To reform the old and reform the old, it is not enough to give benefits to the radicals. That is a dead end. The radicals themselves will gradually perish in the radicalization. To reform the old and reform the old, we can only follow the road, and techniques cannot be achieved. The journey of the great road has clear rewards and punishments, and it is too difficult to give it to whoever deserves it."
"Okay, when it comes to specific questions, your question about Prince Lu's Mansion is very simple. Because of your preference, a certain person. These people control both the three feet within you and the three feet beyond you. All you need to do is separate the power. The confidant you rely on the most should give a lecture and give the three feet away to someone else. People."
"Life will always find its own way to survive."
"Thank you, brother! I understand! Brother Huang, please continue your work!" The problem was solved and I left with a lot of achievements.
Zhu Yirui prefers the palace maid who wakes him up. He gets up every day on the palace maid who has facial cleanser. His excessive preference leads to her excessive power. She can bully anyone, so the palace has problem.
Feng Bao was stunned on the spot. He felt inexplicably familiar. These things seemed familiar because they happened to him. At this time, Feng Daban immediately understood that His Majesty’s technique of controlling his subordinates was What you are born with is not taught by others.
"Feng Daban, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully.
"No, I just remembered my arrogance back then. Fortunately, Your Majesty felt that I was still useful. I could pretend to be powerful and bite ministers in the outer court, so I spared my life. I am still frightened." Feng Bao didn't mean to hide anything. Eight years have passed, but his memory is still fresh, and he dare not lie to His Majesty.
Your Majesty is really hard to fool.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "You just saved your own life."
When Zhang Hong led Tishuai Zhu Xixiaoti and his cavalry to clear the Qianqing Palace, Feng Bao didn't do too much. Instead of resisting, he chose to accept the result. Even if his head was covered with blood, he still regarded the emperor as the emperor. Feng Bao saved himself. If he really wanted to bite the emperor within three feet Without letting go of power, the grass on Feng Bao's grave is now three feet tall.
Zhu Yijun picked up the Overseas Chinese Chronicles in his hand and thought about the word civilization.
To destroy a civilization, start from two angles, and go hand in hand, one is the body, and the other is the spirit.
When the mines are controlled by the colonists and the indigenous civilization cannot progress and develop, the body will be gradually weakened due to expropriation, and the spirit will gradually converge with the colonists because the civilization cannot progress and develop, and eventually the civilization will die. , leaving only some relics and wreckage, telling traces of the past.
How unfortunate this is.
In October of the eighth year of Wanli, the weather in late autumn suddenly warmed up for three days, and then immediately began to cool down. Soon a heavy snowstorm spread across the northern provinces, turning the entire Ming Dynasty into a With the white snow, winter is coming as expected. A winter snow makes Qin Tianjian relieved. His Majesty does not have to beg for snow this year.
Zhu Yijun brought Mrs. Tang to the Wenhua Hall. After the emperor and his ministers saw the ceremony, they began to discuss the matter.
"I am ashamed of your majesty's call." Ma Ziqiang was about to leave. His body really couldn't bear it anymore. He was supposed to resign and leave the court seven days ago, but suddenly he was so warm and so cold that he gave birth. After an illness, it snowed heavily today. After he recovered a little, he came to say goodbye.
“When I was young, I was tired of studying, was not good at work, and was not good at morality. This bothered the eldest uncle. I tried my best to persuade him to stay. However, the eldest uncle was in poor health and had many national affairs. After the eldest uncle left the court, he must Take good care of your health, and I will send great medical officers there from time to time. "The books that Zhu Yijun studied, "The Direct Interpretation of the Four Books", "The Illustrated Commentary on the Emperor's Book", and "The General Book of the History of the Ministry of History" were all printed by Ma Ziqiang, and Ma Ziqiang was established by Zhu Yijun. The beginning of studying for the prince is to give a feast to the bachelor.
"I thank you for your kindness." Ma Ziqiang saluted again. He stood up and looked around the Wenhua Palace. He was quite reluctant to give up, but his body could no longer support him to continue to serve the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty. Totally loyal.
Ma Ziqiang dragged his exhausted body away. Zhu Yijun specially arranged a car to see him off. He parked outside the Wenhua Hall. The car was sealed with rubber strips to prevent cold wind from blowing into the car.
"Sir, I actually don't want Uncle Da Zong to leave the court. This man can only live for a while. I'm really afraid that he will lose his breath and leave." Zhu Yijun said with a solemn expression.
Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, birth, old age, illness and death are human nature."
Guo Chaobin was about to leave the court, and he would leave after Wang Daokun returned to Beijing.
"Let the court discuss." Zhu Yijun looked outside the palace. When the car drove towards the left door, he waved his hand, as if to say goodbye, and also seemed to let Zhang Juzheng preside over the court meeting.
"Today the court recommends the Minister of Rites." Zhang Juzheng sat up straight. The Minister of Rites was in charge of the imperial examination. In the early days of the country, the Ministry of Rites was the head of the six departments. It was not until the Jiajing period that the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was called the official of heaven.
"Sir, do you have a suitable candidate?" Zhu Yijun asked about Zhang Juzheng without waiting for others to speak. Ma Ziqiang was Zhang Juzheng's person. Zhu Yijun interrupted the court discussion and asked Zhang Juzheng directly about the position of the Minister of Rites. , continue to leave it to Zhang Dang. This is not a test. The test was before the court meeting. He asked it in front of everyone, which was to express his position.
They have been foxes for thousands of years, and everyone knows what the emperor means.
It is clear that no matter how outrageous the rumors are, His Majesty still regards Zhang Juzheng as a minister of humerus and as the emperor's master. His Majesty respects Zhang Juzheng's opinions on major personnel appointments.
"I have no one to recommend." Zhang Juzheng quickly bowed his head and said.
Zhang Juzheng does not intend to recommend candidates. He is now gradually handing over power and returning all the imperial power that has been overtaken. He has been doing this. He has not made preparations for the candidates for the Minister of Rites.
"Pan Sheng, the second in the 20th year of Jiajing, the editor of the Ming Dynasty Huidian, and the former Minister of Rites, and the prince Taibao entered the court as the Minister of Rites." Seeing that Zhang Juzheng refused to recommend it, Zhu Yijun directly appointed a candidate.
Pan Sheng, Zhang Juzheng's tutor, was involved in the major events of the Ming Dynasty's reform of academic affairs. Pan Sheng offered wine to the Imperial College in the 35th year of Jiajing's reign, but because he refused to write Qing Ci for the Taoist master, he returned to the official position. Township, in the fourth year of Longqing, Pan Sheng became the Minister of Rites. Later, because of his disciple Zhang Juzheng, he became the first assistant and became an official again.
Pan Sheng also has another identity: he is Feng Bao’s teacher, who was Feng Bao’s teacher when he was studying in his study.
"I recommend Yu Youding, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites." Tan Lun recommended Yu Youding, the mainstay of the Zhejiang Party, who was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing, and was considered a good candidate.
“I recommend Xu Xuemo, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.” Wang Chonggu also recommended someone. This person was a Jinshi in the 29th year of Jiajing. Although he was from Nanjing, he was a member of the Jin Party. Wang Chonggu was rejected by Datong in Xuanxuan Mansion. During the war, Xu Xuemo was in charge of the affairs of Xuanda University.
The three candidates can be said to be in constant dispute. Pan Sheng's identity is too special. He is both Zhang Juzheng's teacher and Feng Bao's teacher. This time, Zhang's party's power has expanded too much, and the Jin Party and the Zhejiang Party Everyone is opposed to this candidate. Although Yu Youding has a reputation as a virtuous person, his qualifications are still relatively young and he may not be able to convince the public.
Xu Xuemo was suitable in all aspects, but the only unsuitable thing was that he was a member of the Jin Party. Xu Xuemo really wanted to enter the Wenhua Palace. Wang Chonggu had to give up the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He didn't want to give up, so the promotion was not strong.
When you reach the position of Ming Gong, who is who is a false proposition in itself.
Letting Wang Chonggu transfer real power to the so-called "own people" would be irresponsible to the Jin Party.
"I recommend Wan Shihe." Hai Rui looked around and chose to speak. If the recommendation continued like this, it would not be a problem to make noise. Hai Rui recommended the most suitable person.
Wan Shihe works in the Ministry of Personnel and takes care of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites all day long, so it is better to let Wan Shihe take over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.
"I think it's okay." Wang Chonggu immediately expressed his position. He had no objection. Anyway, everyone opposed Xu Xuemo's entry into the court, so it was better to follow the trend. As an imperial party, Wan Shihe couldn't be more suitable. Zhang Juzheng personally appointed the official department. If you do both, there won't be any problems.
"I have no objection." Tan Lun just wanted to give it a try, but Yu Youding's qualifications were still shallow.
"What do Wan Dazai think?" Zhang Juzheng asked Wan Shihe what he thought. Everyone has his own people and plans, and it's not a big deal to quarrel.
Wan Shihe looked around and said with a smile: "Then I will do my part?"
