Chapter 939: The Emperor also went down
Yang Zheng also accepted it all the way, but he did not snub Wang Zhen, so Wang Zhen felt that this Lord Yang was a little different from other adults, and he was an official worthy of contact, and Yang Zheng felt that Wang Zhen was a good eunuch at this time.
The two talked and laughed out of the palace, Yang Zheng did not go to the Hanlin Academy, but went home directly, he is now wearing two positions, and the emperor has already said in the heart hall, let him first put the Shenji battalion in order, these sons of pride of heaven, since the Yongle years followed the Yongle Emperor and achieved a series of military exploits, these days of pride are quite a bit of no one's meaning, these years have not been less nonsense, this is okay, there is very little practice on weekdays, it is no longer the heroism of the year, Zhu Zhanji had to let Yang Zheng rectify well, For the generals and literati, Yang Zheng is willing to be with the generals, at least the generals don't have as many fancy intestines as the literati, so he agreed, and under the guise of rectification, he transferred Zhang Yi, Jin Yixiao, and Xu Feng from Hangzhou, just like the ancient city of Hangzhou, Jin Yixiao is responsible for the formation, Zhang Yi is responsible for training the soldiers, these two are experienced veterans, and the training is also easy, but most of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are ruffians in the capital, and they still encountered a lot of difficulties in training, and they complained a lot, Yang Zheng had to try to appease as much as possible, In the end, Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the previous life, wrote two important military books, namely "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training". These two books are a summary of his experience in training troops to fight, and they are also his textbooks for training the army, and they have a high status in military science, and they are included in the "Siku Quanshu", accounting for one-tenth of military works. Since he recited two excellent eight-strand texts on the Jinluan Palace, his reputation has spread in the huge capital, and even some storytellers of good deeds simply saw his deeds in the Jinluan Palace compiled into a story to say, that kind of thing that is chiseled and attached to the meeting does not know where to come from so much, what to frustrate Lord Liu, what hero saves the beauty, and finally what beauty trilemma came out, Yang Zheng just laughed at first, who knew that in the end, it became more and more intense, and what three smiles and mercy were compiled out, making him cry and laugh, and it was difficult to pay attention to it, took Shen Yanqiu to the Great Wall in Badaling, played for a few days, and then returned to his house.
Of course, in addition to him becoming famous, his friend the current emperor is also very famous, the thing is this, Zhu Di has been taken by Zhu Di since he was by his side, Zhu Di in order to let him know how to lead troops to fight, exercise his courage, every time he returns from an expedition and passes through the farmer's house, Zhu Di has to take Zhu Zhanji to the farmer's house to see, so that the emperor's grandson can understand the hardships of the farmer's family, so that he can be a good emperor who loves the people in the future, over time, Zhu Zhanji has developed the habit of caring about the people's suffering, ascended the throne for more than two months, and often goes to the people for private visits, of course, This is by no means the way that Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he visited the country in micro-service, did not talk about pomp, did not apportionment to the locality, did not increase the burden on the locality, and only took the guards to travel every time.
On this day, he went to curb the tomb, and when he came back, he passed by Changping (now Changping District, Beijing), and saw that there were several old farmers working very hard in the farmland, and saw that the old farmer was covered in sweat, and he couldn't bear it, so he called a farmer to come over and ask why they were so diligent in farming, and it was estimated that the farmer did not know his identity, so he had no scruples about speaking, and the old farmer wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said: "We cultivate in the spring, plow in the summer, and harvest rice in the autumn, if you are lazy at any time, This year's life is not settled. I can't even pay the rent, so I have to support my wife and children, so I can only work non-stop every day. ”
Zhu Zhanji sighed, he realized that these people were working so hard not for the sake of his country at all, but just to survive.
Zhu Zhanji looked at the waist of the peasants in the field who could not always straighten up, and felt a lot. When he returned to the palace, Zhu Zhanji wrote an article overnight, describing his experience and sending it to the ministers, and he said emotionally: "The people work so hard to make a living, how can we not cherish the people's strength." ”
However, Zhu Zhanji's article did not play a big role, and the good times did not last long. According to the results of Zhu Zhanji's secret investigation, most of the ministers had more than 10 dishes at each meal, but they could not finish them, and the waste was staggering. So Zhu Zhanji and Minister Yu Qian conspired together to come up with a theme practice activity of "going to the field and cultivating the land".
As soon as he went to the court the next day, Zhu Zhanji led hundreds of civil and military officials of the imperial court to the farmland on the outskirts of Beijing in accordance with the determined route.
When he arrived at the ridge, Zhu Zhanji didn't speak, took off his dragon robe, rolled up his sleeves, picked up a sickle that had been stacked in the ridge in advance, walked into the field, bent down, and harvested rice. When the ministers saw it, they all picked up their sickles and followed the emperor to do farm work. The ministers began to think that the emperor just meant to do farm work, but they didn't expect Zhu Zhanji to work for more than four hours, and the ministers were all tired and sweaty. Some ministers didn't have time to take off their official robes, but they couldn't get up, so they had to eat coptis dumbly, and they couldn't say anything about their suffering.
The next day, Zhu Zhanji sent an edict to invite hundreds of officials. This banquet is very special, each person put ten dishes in front of them, and a bowl of rice, these ten dishes are very valuable, including bird's nest, white fungus, venison, goose meat, etc.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, you look at me, I look at you, no one moves the vegetables, Zhu Zhanji takes the lead in eating the vegetables, and the civil and military officials think, since the emperor has an order, then eat it, so they start to eat.
After eating for more than an hour, the ministers really couldn't eat anymore, and when Zhu Zhanji saw that the ministers were still swallowing with bitter faces, he said: "Since you can't eat it, don't eat it anymore." As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers put down their chopsticks, and Zhu Zhanji said: "Let's take a look, how many dishes do you have left, the amount of rice is large, two plates are enough, and the rest is wasted, I heard that there are no less than ten dishes at each meal here, and there is waste at every meal, we are so extravagant and wasteful, are we worthy of the people who work hard every day but can't eat enough?" I ordered, from now on, the minister three meals a day, according to the rules of the ancestors, four dishes and one soup, no more than five dishes, five dishes per meal you can freely deploy, the minister finally understood the emperor's painstaking efforts, to be diligent and thrifty, understand the hard work of the people, this matter has somehow been spread, for a while in the capital spread in the uproar, all say that there is a legacy of Emperor Wen of Han in the saint today.
At that time, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty personally led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to the countryside to help the peasants do farm work and "busy double robbery" during the spring ploughing season every year.
Some ministers were worried: "There is no one in the DPRK, and if someone takes the opportunity to rebel, what will we do?" Emperor Wen said: "If what the court does is deeply popular, no one will rebel." Even if someone rebels, they will eventually fail because they are unpopular, so don't worry. ”
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty not only personally went to the fields to cultivate, but also asked the queen and the imperial concubine to plant mulberry and silkworms in the garden of the palace.
Emperor Wen led his ministers to work in the fields, and every year, what is the reason? Originally, when Emperor Wen ascended the throne, agriculture was harsh and taxed, and there was no enthusiasm for production, and as a result, the government could not even collect taxes. The second is to take the lead and make an example.
The emperor personally went to the field to cultivate, in the eyes of the common people at that time, it was Pangu who opened the world, so this news quickly spread throughout the country, and some people said: "The emperor has planted the land, what are we still doing in a daze, hurry up and go to the ground!" "The enthusiasm of farmers has increased unprecedentedly. And Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty is also known as Mingjun in the world, in this way, Zhu Zhanji's reputation quickly spread in the capital, Yang Zheng heard about it from Shen Yanqiu's mouth, and did not feel half strange, because Zhu Zhan is basically a Mingjun through the ages, and Mingjun has his own Mingjun style. This is something that others can't envy.
The sunshine in August is not so vicious, early in the morning, Yang Zheng personally moved the bamboo couch and sat under a big jujube tree in the courtyard to read a book, he still read the "Tao Te Ching", Shen Yanqiu is pinching chaos, to say that although the "Tao Te Ching" is only 5,000 words, but the sentence structure is neat, roughly rhymed, for the poetry of the scriptures. It's catchy to read, easy to recite and easy to remember. It embodies the beauty of the phonology of Chinese characters. For example, "there is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are compatible, long and short are dwarfed, and the high and low are inclined to each other" (chapter 2), "the heart is empty, the belly is solid, the ambition is weak, and the bones are strong" (chapter 3), "the frustration is sharp, the conflict is resolved, and its light is the same as its dust" (chapter 4), and "its government is dull, and its people are pure" (chapter 58). These words and phrases not only rhyme, but also interlock, have both rhyme and melodic beauty. Reciting scriptures is a kind of beautiful enjoyment, in the beauty of the rhyme to appreciate the profound philosophy, people unconsciously calm the heart, as soon as the heart calms down, most of them have tiredness, especially in the tail of the scorching heat in August, a jujube tree, a bamboo couch, a pot of tea, an ancient book, there is such a pretty beauty standing next to him, no tiredness is strange.
whispered a few times, the increasingly heavy eyelids finally couldn't help but close, and the scroll in her hand also slipped down from her fingertips, Shen Yanqiu put down the work in her hand, glanced at him, her face was filled with a kind of satisfaction that a family woman should have, she walked over gently, put away the scroll, and then turned around and entered the house, with an extra brocade quilt in her hand, gently put it on Yang Zheng's waist, and then left like a wind.
