Wang Yuan went up to the city tower and immediately saw Zhu Houzhao, and also saw Li Ying beside Zhu Houzhao.

Li Sanlang is not only by the emperor's side, but also belongs to the first person who is close to him, which shows how smooth this guy is!

Of course, it was not the emperor's favor to Li Ying that had surpassed Qian Ning and Zhang Yong. Qian Ning is taking the brocade guards at the moment to personally inspect all parts of the imperial city to prevent people watching the lanterns from entering the forbidden place. Zhang Yong was doing other business, and as the master of ceremonies, he rarely served the emperor anymore.

"Who's that girl?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Li Ying replied: "That's Song Xuanwei's daughter in Guizhou, Song Ling'er, a classmate of the minister and Wang Erlang. She followed her mentor Wang Gong, learned the art of war and strategy, and was also in the capital at this time. ”

Zhu Houzhao asked with interest: "A woman also learns the art of war and strategy?" ”

Li Ying explained: "In the land of Yungui, there are often women who act as Tusi, and Song Ling'er is determined to be a female general. ”

Zhu Houzhao liked this kind of thing that exceeded etiquette, and immediately praised: "A woman, with this ambition, women don't let their eyebrows go!" ”

Wang Yuan had already walked over with Song Ling'er, hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please have an injury on your body, and you can't pay a full salute." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Song Ling'er thought about it, and it was rare to follow the resignation, knelt down and bowed and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty a long life!" ”

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and said, "Get up and speak." ”

After Song Ling'er got up, she stood next to Wang Yuan honestly, but her eyes were very unruly, and she looked at the emperor carefully without any scruples.

Zhu Houzhao said to Wang Yuan: "I have ordered someone to rebuild the house in the west of the city, and the construction will start after the Lantern Festival." ”

Wang Yuan said: "There are too many violations of the mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rebuild, Your Majesty should not build a large number of buildings." ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't care and said: "It's not so troublesome, dismantle His Majesty, change the decoration of carving dragons and phoenixes and painting pythons, and don't worry about the rest." What about the layout of the imitation Forbidden City? I said yes, yes. Don't shirk again, or I'm going to get angry! ”

"So, thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Yuan accepted it.

He still has the fiery heart of an engineering dog, and in the future, he must conduct experiments when making things, and it is more convenient to have a big house to do things.

Zhu Houzhao patted Wang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "If it weren't for Erlang leading the troops to quell the thieves, if Qi Yanming really killed him under the Jingshi City during the New Year, I and the court would have lost their faces!" The contribution you have made this time is not comparable to ordinary peace, and it is not an exaggeration to promote the official to the third level. But you are in the Hanlin Academy, and you can't be promoted at will, and you have been very wronged, what is the point of giving a house and land? ”

When Wang Yuan heard this, he immediately beat the snake and put it on the stick: "In this case, the minister wants to ask for a reward." ”

"You say." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Wang Yuan turned his head to look at Song Ling'er, then turned back to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Song Ling'er, the daughter of Song Xuan's consolation envoy in Guizhou, has been a childhood sweetheart since childhood, and asks Your Majesty to give her a marriage!" ”

Song Ling'er was ecstatic in her heart, and stood on the spot with a smirk on her face.

Li Ying shook his head secretly, admiring Wang Yuan's love and righteousness, but also regretting Wang Yuan's self-destruction of his future.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think much about it and said, "What kind of reward is this?" I'll ...... you."

"Wait a minute!"

Song Ling'er suddenly regained her senses, came out of joy, and interrupted the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you marry the daughter of Tusi, can you still be the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Well," Zhu Houzhao thought carefully, "It's not explicitly stipulated, but it definitely has an impact, and I can't say it clearly for a while." ”

Song Ling'er said: "Then I won't marry!" ”

Wang Yuan scolded: "When a man speaks, don't talk too much!" ”

"You want to marry me, why can't I talk more? I'm not happy to marry you! Song Ling'er did not show weakness.

Wang Yuan said: "I have my own ideas, you can rest assured." ”

Song Ling'er said: "I'm not at ease! ”

The two of them were actually in front of the emperor, and you and I were talking about each other, and Zhu Houzhao was very happy and very interesting.

Other courtiers and Han women, how could they discuss marriage like this, and it was only so direct in the border areas. Zhu Houzhao felt that the people of Guizhou were outstanding and wanted to go and see it in person another day, anyway, it was more in line with his appetite than the capital.

Suddenly, Song Ling'er knelt on the ground and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you for something." ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Let's talk about it." ”

Song Ling'er said: "My father lost the city and lost the land, and he should be beheaded for his crime, please spare his life." ”

Wang Yuan also stopped worrying about the marriage matter, and added: "Your Majesty, you can take the opportunity to change the land under the jurisdiction of the Song family, so that more land in Guizhou will be directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court." ”

Zhu Houzhao was very annoyed to deal with this kind of thing, and said perfunctorily: "You can write a piece of music and hand it over to the cabinet to deal with." ”

Wang Yuan asked: "Your Majesty wants to open up the territory of the Ming Dynasty and become a generation of saints like Emperor Qin and Han Wu?" ”

"This is my life's ambition!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Wang Yuan continued: "The land of Yungui is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. However, Tusi holds military and political power, and the people under his jurisdiction only know that there is Tusi, but they do not know that there is a court. Not only did Tusi not pay taxes to the imperial court, but also reached out to the imperial court every year to ask for money, and those who were hungry for profit even launched a rebellion. For the imperial court, the existence of Tusi, that is, there is no face, and there is no lining, how is this different from Fanbang? The two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong are trying their best to weaken the Tusi and have been implementing the reform of the land and returning to the stream. If His Majesty can do it, his merits will catch up with Taizu Taizong! ”

"That's right," Zhu Houzhao was moved, "you can elaborate." ”

Wang Yuan said: "This civil unrest in Guizhou is a consolation that made An Guirong secretly provoke funding, and his crime should also be beheaded. You can weaken the An family and the Song family at the same time, but you can't force it too much. The minister's suggestion was to take the land of the second chief lawsuit of the Song family and the third chief lawsuit of the An family, and put it under the direct management of Cheng Fanfu. Among them, in the north of Guizhou, a new county can be set up. In these places where the land has been changed and returned to the stream, the chief official is appointed by the imperial court, and the adjutant can be the Tusi as the same knowledge. ”

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled: "Why do you want to know the same land?" ”

Wang Yuan explained: "There are too few Han people, too many local people, and the degree of education is not enough. If the local officials are not allowed to serve as the same knowledge, it will be difficult for the rogue officials to govern, and I am afraid that they will not even be able to collect taxes. In a few decades, when the education is effective, the soil can be abandoned. ”

Zhu Houzhao was not very satisfied: "It's too troublesome, and it will take decades to slowly educate." ”

Wang Yuan advised: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, don't be impatient. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Then do what you want." ”

Wang Yuan also said: "The rebellion in Guizhou originated from the An family. An's has 48 people, with 480,000 armor, even if he takes the opportunity to take the third, he is still the dominant family in Guizhou. And the Song family has suffered heavy losses this time, and it is difficult to balance the An family, so it is necessary to formulate a strategy to deal with it! ”

"You finish it all at once." Zhu Houzhao was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.

Wang Yuan said: "An Guirong is old and seriously ill, and the three sons are not in harmony. The imperial court could take the opportunity to push the favor and divide the territory of the An clan into three and hand it over to his three sons to take care of. ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Write out all your strategies, and I will let the cabinet implement them according to the rules." ”

The plan succeeded, Wang Yuan smiled and said no more.

This is a poisonous plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and the Sizhou Tian clan, which controlled half of Guizhou back then, was completely abolished by Zhu Di in this way.

And it belongs to Yangmou, An Guirong can't resist. First, he deserves to be punished for his crimes, and he has no qualifications to speak; Second, he couldn't suppress his son, in addition to the eldest son's displeasure, the second son and the third son must be happy. If An Guirong openly objected, it is estimated that his second and third sons would kill him without the imperial court's action.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the bright lights outside the Forbidden City, and the officials and people rubbed shoulders with each other, which was a prosperous scene. He was in a better mood and said to Wang Yuan: "I have also read Wang Erlang's poems. Let's make a Lantern Festival poem. ”

Wang Yuan thought to himself: If Lao Tzu traveled back to the Northern Song Dynasty, he would definitely copy "Qingyu Case: Yuan Xi", but how can you let me copy it in the Ming Dynasty?

Still the same old saying, Wang Yuan excused himself and said: "Your Majesty, the people are in turmoil, the treasury is empty, and the system is rotten. I beg your pardon for not being able to compose poetry. ”

This reason is so legitimate, Zhu Houzhao can't blame it, and he is even a little moved.

In addition, Wang Yuan and Song Linger were before, one destroyed his future for the sake of his childhood sweetheart, and the other did not accept the marriage for the sake of his lover's life and death. They are all the most affectionate and sexual people!

Zhu Houzhao hates hypocrisy, he likes affection and sex, and feels more and more that Wang Yuan is a real gentleman worthy of trust.

Li Ying was afraid that the emperor would be dissatisfied with Wang Yuan, so he said: "Your Majesty is amazingly talented, why don't you write a royal poem with the theme of Lantern Festival?" ”

Zhu Houzhao really thought about it carefully, and then recited: "The fire tree and silver flowers are all over the imperial capital, and the incense car and jade cover the stars." Zhengde has made a difference, and next year will be called a prosperous age. How is the poem written? ”

Wang Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "With poetry and ambition, His Majesty is ambitious." ”

Li Ying patted his ass and said: "Good poetry! ”

Zhu Houzhao's poems are indescribable, the quality is uneven, and the level fluctuates greatly. Some of them belong to limericks, and some of them seem to look like them, which is quite flavorful to read, and perfectly shows his uninhibited character.

Historically, this guy drove a personal expedition, came to Yang Yiqing's hometown halfway, and wrote several poems in one go. One of them reads: "The name of Zhengde has spread, and the south and the north dare to take the lead." His life is mighty and peaceful in the world, and the town of Yongzhen has been in the country for thousands of years. ”

If "Zhengde" is replaced with "Qianlong", there is no sense of disobedience when it reads, and it is estimated that some people really think that Qianlong wrote it.

But also in Yang Yiqing's hometown, another poem written by Zhu Houzhao is quite high-level: "Shenwu Weinanfu, dragon boat driving giant waves." The soldiers are slightly far away, and the chaos is high. The sun is floating yellow, and the clouds are moving ochre robes. The old minister is the head of the three officials, and he is afraid of the saint's hard work...... "This is still an ancient style poem, with a total of more than 200 words, and the level, battle, and dictionaries are very exquisite.

Just like Zhu Houzhao is a man and does things, he writes poems entirely by heart, which is very serious and absurd.

After reading the lantern and making the poem, Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood and said to Song Ling'er: "Do you want to be a female general?" ”

"Well, I think!" Song Ling'er nodded again and again.

Zhu Houzhao was full of bad taste, how to disobey him, and suddenly smiled: "I don't want to meddle indiscriminately over there in the military department, but Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and I can call the shots casually." I named you a thousand households in Jinyi, you go back to Guizhou to find the eunuch who guards the town, and ask him to give you a troop to fight! ”

Song Ling'er was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed, it was so interesting, there was actually a female general under him. Immediately, he said, "If you make great contributions, I will make you a deputy ambassador...... Well, you may not believe this, you should comfort your fellow knowledge. Da Ming didn't comfort Tongzhi, I made one myself, anyway, it's not a legitimate official position. ”

Wang Yuan was completely speechless, and didn't know how to get his marriage done.
