Chapter 133: Capture the Earl of Huichang

Zhu Qizhen sent Hui Changbo.

A man sits under the window, with his arms crossed, his chin in his hands, above which there is only a shallow pile of hair, which has not yet hardened.

Silently thought.

When he thought about it carefully, what Hui Changbo said may be extreme, but it is not unreasonable.

Hui Changbo is no longer a relative, he is also his uncle. In ancient times, this relationship was cut constantly. And Zhu Qizhen also understood that this time, Liu Qiu swept and smashed I don't know how many bottles and cans. It has affected the interests of many people.

These people vented their grievances on Hui Changbo, and perhaps there were.

However, even if Zhu Qizhen figured it out, he would not shelter Changbo.

The reason is very simple, compared with his own reputation, the life and death of the Huichangbo family are insignificant in Zhu Qizhen's heart. Even the reason why Zhu Qizhen kept Huichangbo was not because of how much he felt about Huichangbo, but in the ancient sense of morality, many people agreed with each other.

Zhu Qizhen really sentenced Chang Bo to Ming Zheng, not to mention the troubles in the harem, but this did not conform to Confucian morality, and even seemed more ruthless.

Renjun, Renjun.

Killed his grandfather, can he be called Renjun?

Therefore, this is naturally raised high, after some singing and playing, and then leaving Changbo alive. Then Hui Changbo repented and repented from then on, which is in line with the core values.

How to deal with Hui Changbo, this is just one of the big cases that needs to be dealt with, and there are too many places that need to be dealt with.

For example, the Nanjing problem, such as the issue of giving, all need to be dealt with in general.

In the north in May, winter wheat began to be harvested one after another, and although there was no high yield in Hebei, it barely managed to maintain food rations.

A large number of elite soldiers were sent to various places to suppress the locust plague, and it cannot be said that there was no locust plague in various places, but it did not expand.

And Liu Qiu also did not show any of the top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou, and arrested all of them, and sent them to Jingshi together with Shi Li's family, but they have not yet arrived.

But by and large, the dust has settled.

As a result, Zhu Qizhen was happy and worried.

First of all, there are too many people implicated, at least more than 100 officials, one of the two Huai salt farms is counted as one, and none of them are fish that have slipped through the net.

But none of the officials of the salt administration are clean.

Secondly, it is a rich result.

Not to mention, those fields and houses that are not easy to sell are left to the Yangzhou prefect for disposal, making the Yangzhou prefect the richest mansion all of a sudden.

Speaking of cash alone, there are more than 12 million taels.

This large sum of money is still in Yangzhou, and it is estimated that it will be escorted to Beijing in the second half of the year.

Although he has not yet seen the cash, Zhu Qizhen has already breathed a sigh of relief, with this more than 10 million taels of silver, the funds for water control in the second half of this year and even the first half of next year will be settled.

But a large number of problems have also come out.

At least the salt administration system of the Ming Dynasty almost completely collapsed. It is urgent to re-establish the salt administration system.

After all, salt is a necessity for people's lives, and it is inseparable. Although because of the transportation problems of this era, there will be a certain amount of salt in various places.

For a while, there is no problem.

But after a long time, it is difficult to say.

Zhu Qizhen summoned Yang Pu first.

If there is anyone who is the most tired during this period of time, it must be Yang Pu.

The two things of Hebei water control and the Lianghuai salt case occupied almost all of Yang Pu's time.

In fact, Hebei has certain rules for water control, and Yang Pu doesn't have to worry about it.

It's just because the government seems to be stable, but in fact, Yang Shiqi's influence will not be so easy to disperse, and Hebei is presided over by Yu Qian.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yu Qian is a banner of Yang Shiqi's faction.

Yang Pu promised in front of Zhu Qizhen that he would give his full support to Yu Qian's water control. Therefore, he had to think the worst, and he had to look at everything about Hebei's water control.

He wasn't worried about what Yu Qian would do. Instead, he was worried that someone would do something between him and Yu Qian?

Yang Pu didn't have the heart to fight with Yu Qian at the moment, so he was naturally extremely cautious, and it was best not to do anything. As for the two Huai salt policies, Yang Pu followed up step by step.

While vigorously supporting Liu Qiu, he also secretly made adjustments in the court, and most of the officials who were deeply involved in the salt merchants were transferred to idle posts.

Not to mention, in addition, all aspects of Daming's affairs are pressed on Yang Pu. Regarding major matters in all directions of the imperial court, they must be discussed with Yang Pu.

For example, Zhu Qizhen has just discussed one thing with Yang Pu, that is, the printing of more than 6,000 volumes of the Tripitaka. It's all paid for by the inner court.

Zhu Qizhen felt that the finances were in some difficulties and wanted to cut this matter down. After all, Zhu Qizhen does not believe in Buddhism.

So after Yang Pu found out, he immediately came to persuade him.

What he is talking about is nothing else, it is the Ming Dynasty's governance of Tibet. The Ming Dynasty's governance of remote places, generally speaking, is governed by customs.

Tibetan Buddhism in the Yuan Dynasty dominated Tibet. The Ming Dynasty continued to recognize this situation, and sealed Tibetan local officials and monks, and they ruled Tibet.

Therefore, the compilation of the "Tripitaka Sutra" is of course due to the Empress Dowager's belief in Buddhism, but in fact, there are many political reasons, such as the fact that many of the "Tripitaka Sutras" are to be given to Tibet.

Even the imperial court built temples on the outskirts of Beijing to worship La

Hm. That's why. Even in the Battle of Songpan, there were monks who came and went between Songpan Tusi and the imperial court, which could be regarded as a relaxation of the local relations between the two sides.

Therefore, it is also necessary to spend a certain amount of money on political forces.

Only then did Zhu Qizhen dispel the idea of reducing the funding of the Tripitaka.

As Zhu Qizhen became more and more confident and had a deeper control over the court officials than before, Zhu Qizhen took more time out of his routine affairs and spent more time thinking about problems. As for the rest of the recitals, the cabinet drafted them on his behalf, and he read an abridgement every day. Let the court affairs not go out of line, out of their own control, it's okay.

In this way, Zhu Qizhen is a lot easier, but there are more things in the cabinet.

It's just that under such heavy government torture, Yang Pu did not slack off at all, and even Zhu Qizhen felt that Yang Pu's spirit was getting better and better.

When he walked, he walked like a fly, as if he was more than ten years younger all of a sudden.

Sure enough, for some people, power is the best aphrodisiac.

The first thing Zhu Qizhen asked when he summoned Yang Pu was not the Lianghuai salt case, but the military affairs in Guangxi, and said: "Isn't there any news from Liu Pu?" What do Guangxi officials say? ”

Now the Ming Dynasty is generally relatively peaceful, King Xiang and the ** Tusi have large and small frictions, Wang Ji in Yunnan to recuperate, has been cautiously to the ** test, ready to attack Mengyang. But after all, there has not been a fight yet.

In addition to Yunnan, there is also the war in Guangxi, which has not ended.

Although it was confined to a few hills, the officers and soldiers still did not plow the court and sweep away the chaos in the mountains.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen knew that the imperial court had to bear a little responsibility for this matter, because Li Shimian had almost drained the grain of Liangguang. It directly led to the cancellation of the military operation in Guangxi.

Let these people recuperate in the mountains for a year and become active.

But Zhu Qizhen was still dissatisfied with Liu Pu.

In any case, although these bandits are in the mountains, the entire range of activities is not large, and the contrast between friend and foe is obvious. But Liu Pu always couldn't figure it out.

It's a disease of scabies, but they can't continue to make trouble.

At that time, when Shanyun was guarding Guangxi, there was no such.

Yang Pu said: "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to slow down and not urgent, Wang Ao has already reported, the discipline in General Liu's army is not good, if Your Majesty urges it urgently, I am afraid it will have the opposite effect." Haste makes waste. ”

In general, the military discipline of the Ming army was very average.

At the time of the founding of the country, it can also be called the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, compared with other righteous armies, the overall description of the army is relatively good, Emperor Taizu summed up the experience of taking the world, that is, to take the world without killing people.

But when Taizong was in trouble, the northern army was short of military supplies, and Emperor Taizong had to turn a blind eye to some things.
