The day after the palace banquet, the decree of the prince of Xingningbo was officially issued.

The main gate of Xingningbo Mansion was wide open, and Meng was dressed in a red unicorn costume and knelt in the mansion to receive the holy decree.

It is still Zhongguan Hou Xian who delivers the decree.

During Zheng He's voyage to the West, Hou Xian not only became the first available lieutenant official around Zhu Di, but his "friendship" with Meng also rose sharply.

But all the orders given to Xingningbo Mansion were basically Hou Xian's appearance. Others want to rob it, and they all kick it away.

"I'm tired of Father-in-law."

Holding the holy decree, Meng smiled and handed over the red envelope. Hou Xian took it, didn't look at it, and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"I don't dare to say that I am tired, I am sorry for my uncle, and our family can get a little joy every time."

The words are very standard.

The tone is sincere, and the attitude is more sincere, as if every word comes from the heart. If Meng didn't believe it, he would have failed Hou's father-in-law's intentions.

grinning, Uncle Meng found that compared with Hou Xian, his acting skills and line skills still need to be greatly improved.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are fierce, and the eunuchs of the Yongle Dynasty are definitely the fierce of the fierce, whether it is horizontal or vertical comparison, those who can be left and right can basically be counted with a slap.

Liang Qichao praised, and there was no Zheng He after Zheng He.

Meng believes that this sentence can further expand the scope and completely include Hou Xian, Wang Jinghong and others.

You can cut people on the horse, you can spy on the horse, you can sail away on board, you can sail away on board, you are more grandfathers than you, such a eunuch collective, except for the Yongle Dynasty, is basically no ancient, and there is no one after you.

Because of Zheng He Hou Xian, he was stamped as a "friend of the eunuch", and Meng recognized it!

With the arrival of Hou Xian, there was jubilation in Xingningbo's mansion. The captain of the guard was all beaming with joy on his face.

Uncle is an official again, a good thing!

The prince and young master, teaching the prince of Han to read is a great thing!

After sending Hou Xian away, Uncle Meng waved his hand, "Send money, three meals and vegetables!" ”

"Uncle Xie!"

Uncle Meng is not short of money, and said that if he wants to send money, he will never use treasure money to make up the number. Gold and silver can't be issued casually, and copper coins and cloth are no problem. No matter how bad it was, the pepper and spices were piled up in the yard, and one person carried a bag home.

Since the southwest and overseas states came to pay tribute, the spice market of the Ming Dynasty has become extremely rich, and the market price has also fallen in stages. Otherwise, the imperial dining room would not add pepper to the dish as if it were not for money.

A dish can eat more than a dozen peppers.

When I think about it, my tongue is still tingling.

The Xingningbo Mansion was decorated with lights, immersed in a sea of joy, while the other court officials who received the holy decree were covered with dark clouds and their faces were pale.

The eunuchs who announced the decree also elongated their faces, and a trace of a smile was missing. The brocade guards who were walking with the eunuchs were smiling, falling in the eyes of others, no matter how they looked at it, they all had a little hideous meaning.

At the palace banquet, Wang Zhizhi, who argued with reason, had already been sent to Jinyi Prison, and was fortunate to omit this step.

Feng Gui, who dared to pour dirty water on the prince of Ping, was "promoted" to the right senator of the political envoy of Jiaozhi, and set off to take office on the same day.

Cochin is Annan.

After Liu Sheng's representatives conscripted the Annan army to sacrifice prisoners, more than 100 elderly soldiers and civilians in Annan once again pleaded their feelings, hoping to be included in the Ming Dynasty and restore their Chinese clothes.

Emperor Yongle conformed to the will of the people, changed Annan to Jiaozhi, and included it in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It has successively set up the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, the Inspectorate Department and the Metropolitan Command Envoy Division. Shen Xuan and Zhang Fu and other temporarily established Xingdu commanded the envoy to be dismissed immediately.

After the establishment of the three divisions of Jiaozhi, they immediately re-surveyed and planned the land of Annam, set up various yamen, military and civilian guard stations and guarded thousands of households in Fuzhou and county, drew a map of Jiaozhi, and submitted it to Nanjing. During the Kanyu period, some historical issues were resolved by the way, such as the homestead dispute between Annam and Champong, the border division between Annam and Laos and other countries, and the ownership of indigenous tribes.

The final survey of the solid soil of Jiaozhi is 1,760 miles away from east to west, and 2,800 miles from north to south. The borders with Champa and Laos were redivided, and most of the indigenous tribes that were originally separated from the border were incorporated into the territory of Jiaozhi.

Cochin is developing land on a large scale, logging, cultivating fields, and building roads, all of which require a large number of manpower.

The imperial court took over the salt wells of Jiaozhi, set up the Jiaozhi Salt Division, and ordered Lang Huang Tongli and others to supervise the gates. With the resumption of large-scale trade in well salt with Laos and other countries, more and more labor is needed.

In the Central Plains, the trade of official salt was mostly carried out in copper coins, cloth and silver.

In the southwest, Laos and other countries must use gold if they want to buy salt!

This is not a difficult neighbor in the Jiaozhi salt class, it is actually a rule of the Chen dynasty.

"Tea, salt, spices. Salt is the most important. ”

Huang Chengcheng's gold nuggets were piled up in front of him, and because he offended Shangguan, Huang Tongli, who was equivalent to exile Jiaozhi, almost couldn't believe his eyes.

People say that Xingningbo is the god of wealth, and it is said that he came up with the idea of taking down all the salt wells in Jiaozhi.

The resumption of transactions with the surrounding states was also proposed by Xingningbo before returning to Beijing, and was finally reported to the imperial court after the agreement of Shen Xuan, the chief military officer of the Annan army, and Zhang Fu, the deputy general.

Before coming to Jiaozhi, Huang Yuanwailang thought that his future was bleak.

didn't think about it, but sat on the golden mountain.

So much gold, dizzy!

Li Senjun, who had stayed in Annan for more than a year, came over and kindly patted Huang Tongli on the shoulder, "Calm down, just get used to it." Suddenly, he lowered his voice again, "Just look at it, don't move your mind, there are Jinyi guards in the yamen of the salt class." ”

Translated, no matter how good the gold is, no matter how big the temptation is, don't stretch out your hand. Dare to ignore the slightest bit, and life will become very unpleasant.

Not convinced?

Li Senjun motioned to Huang Yuanwailang to look into the courtyard, his predecessor was fruited by Jinyiwei under that tree.

"When people die, their homes are raided."

Jin Yiwei doesn't care whether the gold and silver copied out are embezzled back from Jiaozhi, in short, it is not the same as the salary, it is a proper "huge-amount-wealth-property-come-source-not-Ming-sin", it is not too late for him to die, and his family is also jointly and severally responsible.

The money was confiscated, the whole family was exiled to the army, and the border farming!

"What to do, you have to know what to do."

Can't resist the temptation-temptation, reach out to the emperor's money bag and treasury, don't cut off your hands, cut off your head directly!

Huang Tongli couldn't help but shudder.

After a while, looking at the mountains of gold, it was as if I was looking at a group of flood beasts.

knew that today, he would not offend his boss by killing him. Coming to this place, one is not careful, it is really fatal!

Compared with Huang Tongli, Feng Zhizhi was transferred to the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Department, but it had nothing to do with gold and silver. However, in view of the reasons for the transfer of work, the political envoy below and above the left senator will definitely not give him a good face.

There are many miasma in Jiaozhi, and I can't say for sure, one day Feng will be reported as a "sick death". If you don't get sick and die, you will be in danger of dying if you have a dispute with the local natives. As for whether it is a real native or a fake native person, whether the murderer can be caught or not, it is just a matter of one sentence from the three divisions of Jiaozhi.

In contrast, it is better to send it to the northern border of Xinjiang to have a better chance of survival.

After receiving the order, Feng Zhizhi's face turned pale, countless thoughts turned in his mind, and regret and fear all came to his heart, but he had to suppress them all and thank the Holy Grace.

Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en.

Dare to express dissatisfaction, you don't have to go to Jiaozhi, and go directly to the edict to spend the rest of your life.

"Thank you, the Son of Heaven."

The eunuch who pronounced the decree did not ask for a red seal, completed the task, turned around and left. Leaving Jin Yiwei and Feng to discuss when to go on the road. Leave early and leave late, and it's good to leave early.

After Feng gave advice, Xie Jin also received the holy decree.

In the past, Emperor Yongle was no longer dissatisfied with Xie Jin, and he didn't want to drive him out of the capital.

The "Yongle Canon" is still being revised, and as the editor-in-chief, Xie Jin's work is very important. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the book revision work, Zhu Di also sent rewards and condolences every three or five days.

But this time, Xie Jin stepped on Zhu Di's bottom line and touched his reverse scales.

After Yang Duo recorded some of Bachelor's behaviors on the note and sent them to the palace, Zhu Di did not intend to appease him anymore, and directly issued an order to drive Xie Jin out of the capital.

"Xie Jin, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, is the right senator of the Guangxi Political Envoy."

Like Feng's advice, when the imperial decree was issued, Xie Jin had to pack his luggage immediately and prepare to set off.

Looking at the holy decree in his hand, Xie Jin's expression seemed to freeze.

From a bachelor of Hanlin to the right senator of the Guangxi political envoy, from a close minister of the Son of Heaven who entered the Wenyuan Pavilion to a local official in the southwest border, his rank has been promoted, but his status has plummeted.

"How is it possible, how is this possible......"

Having experienced the ups and downs of the Hongwu Dynasty, the turmoil of the Jianwen Dynasty, and the glory of the Yongle Dynasty, Xie Jintai understood what this edict represented.

He was horrified to find that his private actions could not be concealed from the Son of Heaven after all, and the Son of Heaven would not tolerate him anymore.

From the three years of Yongle to the present, the work of repairing the book has come to an end, the big problem has basically been solved, and the work of Xie Jin is no longer so important.

After confirming with Yao Guangxiao, Emperor Yongle waved his pen, and Xie Jin suddenly became yesterday's yellow flower.

Playing with me, thinking I don't know?

A few times of forgiveness does not mean that you will endure it again and again.

Zhu Di was furious, and Xie Dacai was directly transferred from the capital to Guangxi to contribute to the local political, political, and cultural and educational undertakings.

Xie Jin should be glad that Zhu Di didn't want his life. Otherwise, his work unit would not be Guangxi, but he became a colleague with Feng Zhiji, took root and worked hard.

After Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Hu Guang and other Hanlin attendants also ushered in angels. It's just that the angels don't bring orders, but rewards from the Son of Heaven.

Two pieces of silk, five spindles of treasure money.

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor."

While thanking him, Huang Huai and the others felt bitter in their hearts.

From today on, even if they draw a clear line with Xie Jin, whether they are forced or active, if they want to continue to stay in the capital, serve in the Hanlin Academy, enter the Wenyuan Pavilion, or even go further, they must do so.

There is giving and giving, and only when you give up can you get.

Yang Shiqi is low-key, and Jinyiwei has never been able to find evidence on him, so he has no share in the transfer and reward.

Yang Rong and Xie Jin had contact in private, and Jin Yiwei took the evidence, but in the end, he was a smart person, and he took the first step to play the song, saying that his father was seriously ill and asked to return to his hometown to serve the sick.

"Your Majesty begs for permission."

Yang Rong's sealing was very timely, and a little later, he had a chance of more than seventy percent that he would reconcile with the scholars and go south together.

Emperor Yongle approved Yang Rong's return to his hometown, considering his contribution to the Jingjing, he did not take off his black yarn, but he could no longer receive it, which was regarded as the Ming Dynasty's version of "suspension of pay and retention".

The emperor's series of actions were so fast that people were caught off guard.

Most of the courtiers were thinking hard about the appointment of Meng Shaobao and the future positioning of the prince of Han, and Xie Jin and others, who had been transferred to work, had already packed their packages and left the capital under the escort of Jinyiwei.

Feng Gui walked very fast, Xie Jin was faster than him, and Yang Rong was especially fast and accelerated, as if there was a tiger chasing after him.

When the news came out, the ministers were all stunned.

Above the early dynasty, there was an eerie silence.

The ministers were all worried, especially the Wenchens who supported King Ping, and they didn't dare to make a loud breath.

Jin Shang didn't cut off a few heads like Emperor Gao. But there is no sign at all, and exile is not much better than losing your head.

Promotion? This can only deceive fools.

Guangxi, Jiaozhi, is a real wild place.

Even if there are three divisions, military and civilian health centers, and a way to make a fortune, what if there is a way to make a fortune?

After studying hard for more than ten years, once enrolled, ranked in the court, and ruled the world, it is the highest and most desirable of scholars and doctors.

Go to the place to be a rich man? It's better to hit the wall with your head.

Even if he is willing to be a rich man, in the territory of Jiaozhi, Guangxi, it is obvious that the military attache has more right to speak, and the relationship between Xie Jin and Feng Gui and the military generals is quite slim in terms of politics, politics, future and economic money.

Compared with the civil officials, the generals who supported the Han and Zhao kings were much more relaxed, led by the Duke of Chengguo, including the Duke of Dingguo. Regardless of the others, there is a Xingningbo who has been awarded the crown prince's young insurance, and everyone has a light on their faces.

was set as a benchmark and pushed to the cusp, and Meng was also a little helpless.

He boldly glanced at His Majesty Dan, and immediately lowered his head. Since everyone didn't speak, it was better for him to remain silent.

Thus, the court meeting began in silence and ended in silence. In addition to Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, there are natural disasters in prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the Eighteen Prefectures of Yingtian, and tax reductions and exemptions are needed, and no second person came out to speak.

Outside the hall, the Han general and the Jinyi guard looked at each other and felt strange.

What's going on today? Not to mention the six departments, the six departments are so quiet, it's too unreasonable!

The ministers didn't speak, and Emperor Yongle was impatient to continue to waste time, and flicked his sleeves, "Nothing to retreat." ”

Four words, like heaven.

The court official, who was still languishing just now, immediately withdrew from the Fengtian Temple at a speed like a race walk.

Meng stayed.

According to the emperor's order, today is the first day of his lecture for the prince of Han. Where is the specific teaching location, how long the class time is, and whether the courses taught need to be reviewed or not, they must be reported to Emperor Yongle before the final decision can be made.

Being praised by the emperor for being talented and fluttering, forgetting what his surname is, is definitely the rhythm of losing his head.

"Xingningbo came with me."

Zhu Di was also very simple, wearing a leather suit, and took Meng directly to the Wenhua Palace.

The Wenhua Hall was once the residence of King Ping, who was located in the southwest of the domain and was converted into a place for the emperor's grandson to study.

O Wenhua Palace......

Silently following behind Zhu Di, thinking about the symbolism of the Wenhua Palace, the corners of Meng's mouth curved and quickly disappeared.

There is only one student, and the main hall is too empty, so naturally it is impossible to set up a table here, and it is not in line with the rules.

The warm pavilion next to the main hall is naturally utilized.

The door of the warm pavilion was open, Zhu Di walked to the door, and the people in the warm pavilion immediately got up.

"I've seen my father!"

"Grandson to meet the emperor's grandfather!"

Three voices sounded one after another, Meng followed the voice and looked over, and his teeth were suddenly sore.

There are three mahogany tables in the warm pavilion, two large and one small.

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table are complete, and there are two princes sitting behind the table, a prince and a prince, all of whom are in red clothes, and the gold-inlaid heads, standing up with a brush, even if it is the three-headed body of the last seat, it is also a high-headed chest, quite imposing.

Zhu Di exempted his son and grandson from the ceremony, Meng stepped forward and saluted: "The minister has seen the two highnesses and the prince of the king." ”

"Please take care of it."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were both unusually polite, so polite that Meng was a little unaccustomed to it.

Blink, what's going on today?

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui said that they didn't want to do this either, but their father spoke, and during their stay in Nanjing, the brothers had to accompany Zhu Zhanyu. Not from? Whip waiting!

"Your Majesty, what are the two Highnesses?"

Meng could vaguely guess what was going on, but the procedure that should be taken still could not be omitted.

"Er's erudite and talented, Gao Xu and Gao Sui have nothing to do in Beijing. The Han Wangfu and the Zhao Wangfu, Professor Ji Shan's Shangshu are all on my desk. You just teach, I just sit here, dare not be honest, I just move my muscles and bones. ”

Meng: "......" Tiger Dad, Absolute Tiger Dad!

Zhu Gaoxu & Zhu Gaosui: "......" father?!

Zhu Zhanyan opened his eyes wide, as if he understood or not, so he just sat upright, anyway, just listen to the words of the emperor's grandfather!

Calm down, Meng also knew that the things decided by Emperor Yongle would not change easily, and after thinking about it for two seconds, he spoke: "The ministers will obey Your Majesty's will." ”

One is also teaching, and the third is also rushing...... Since it is the order of Emperor Yongle, just do it!

However, with Emperor Yongle by his side, it was really stressful.

With two more "students", the scheduled course will definitely change.

After thinking for a while, let the eunuch who was waiting for the pen and ink in the warm pavilion take a piece of rice paper, spread it on the table, pick up the pen, dip it in ink, and fall on the paper, as if he was not very satisfied, take another one, put the pen down again, and then nodded.

Meng didn't speak, only poured ink with his pen, the three "students" all sat honestly, Zhu Di got up and walked to the table, and when he saw the outline gradually forming on the paper, his expression immediately changed.

"Hou Xian."

"The slave is here."

"Let everyone stand down."

"Yes."

Zhu Di's performance made Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's hearts itch, the brothers glanced at each other, and finally risked being whipped by their father and came over.

Seeing what was on the paper, the brothers' eyes instantly straightened.

As Meng started to put pen to paper, the eyes of the father and son became more and more hot, and it was no exaggeration to describe that the three pairs of eyes were almost burning six holes in the paper.

When the last stroke fell, Meng raised his head and was suddenly taken aback.

At the same time, after several twists and turns, the fleet led by Zheng He finally returned safely and arrived at the Fujian seaport.
