434 [Liao Ji]
Zhang Yong really did it, and the day after Gu Dayong saw the emperor, Zhu Ying was transferred to Nanyang to supervise the sailors.
At the beginning, the emperor asked Zhang Yong to supervise the East Factory and Zhu Ying to be the eunuch in charge of the East Factory, just to achieve mutual checks and balances.
But Zhang Yong really knew the emperor too well, and he suggested like this: "Your Majesty, the Qiantang Water Division sent troops to Nanyang, and everyone has the identity of Jinyi Guard. The system was inconsistent, unreasonable, and opposed by civil and military officials. If Your Majesty wants to dominate overseas, he should immediately restructure! ”
Zhu Houzhao asked: "How to restructure?" ”
Zhang Yong stated: "Change the Qiantang water division to Jinyi Haiwei." Changed to Zhejiang's preparation of the general army full of righteousness, as the commander of the Jinyi Haiwei, in charge of the Jinyi Haiwei. Then he sent the internal officials to supervise the sailors, and his position was to take charge of the Jinyi Sea Guard. In this way, the Qiantang Water Division is the real Jinyi Guard, and he is not involved in the military department and the capital department, and His Majesty can act as he pleases. ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Wonderful! Who do you say should be sent to administer the sailors? ”
Zhang Yong didn't say it clearly, and asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty thinks who is the most proficient at war among the eunuchs?" ”
Zhu Houzhao thought carefully and said: "Zhu Ying, the manager of the East Factory, has gone on several expeditions with Erlang, and he has the essence of Erlang's use of soldiers. ”
Zhang Yong echoed: "Steward Zhu is indeed familiar with military affairs, and he is the righteous son of His Majesty, which is more convenient for His Majesty to control the sailors. ”
"That's him." Zhu Houzhao immediately made a decision.
Zhang Yong flattered: "This is Your Majesty's Three Treasures Eunuch!" ”
Zhu Houzhao laughed and was very happy to be licked.
Just like that, the emperor gave up the checks and balances. Zhang Yong successfully squeezed out Zhu Ying, and completely controlled the East Factory with great ease, and the Qiantang Naval Division also became the Ming Royal Navy in disguise.
Zhu Ying was stunned, and he had the heart to kill Zhang Yong.
Although Zhang Yong supervised the East Factory, Zhu Ying was still in charge of the specific affairs of the East Factory. He didn't need to resist Zhang Yong's order, Yang Feng and Yin could disobey, and Dongchang was actually under Zhu Ying's control.
The dignified Dongchang talker was thrown to the barbarian land like this, what is the difference between it and the distribution of the frontier?
Zhu Ying was unwilling, and quietly found Wang Yuan: "Wang Shilang, can you help say something, we really don't want to go to Nanyang." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and asked, "Do you trust me?" ”
"I believe it, and I never suffer a loss if I follow Wang Shilang." Zhu Ying patted his ass.
Wang Yuan said: "What's so good about the manager of the East Factory? There is also a Zhang Yong in charge of it, and he can't do things freely at all. Nanyang is different, thousands of miles of sea frontier, let the king gallop, is a foreign king, but also depends on your face. There are countless fertile lands overseas, all of which can be occupied as private land, and there are countless gold and silver overseas, all of which can be taken and used. ”
Zhu Ying said with a bitter face: "But after all, it is located in the land of the barbarians of Fanbang. Qiong Island is already south enough, it is used to exile prisoners, Nanyang is further south than Qiong Island, what is the difference between me and exile for thousands of miles? ”
Wang Yuan comforted: "Wealth and wilderness cannot be judged by the north and the south. the northern border, known for its bitter cold; Qiong Island in the south is famous for its wilderness. This is to regard the Ming Dynasty as the center, but Qin Tianjian has already concluded that the earth is a sphere, and China is not the center of the world. There are many places in the South Seas, but they are very rich. Further west to Tianzhu, the land there is more fertile than that of the Ming Dynasty, and grain can be harvested without intensive cultivation. ”
Elsewhere, Zhu Ying may not agree, but Tianzhu is the birthplace of Buddhism, and the Chinese still think it is quite awesome.
Wang Yuan said again: "Brother Zhu, if you go to the Admiral Jinyi Haiwei, you can earn tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, millions of gold and silver in Nanyang, and you will not be impeached by civil officials." Zhang Yong is almost seventy years old, how many years can he live? Brother Zhu is not yet 40 years old, and he is in the prime of his career. His Majesty also attaches great importance to the affairs of Nanyang, and when Brother Zhu has made great contributions overseas, he can take the opportunity to transfer back to the center. By then, Zhang Yong has already died, and Brother Zhu's silver and fertile land are also available, and he can continue to rise, why not? ”
Zhu Ying was a little moved: "There is really so much gold and silver in Nanyang? ”
"No more, no less," Wang Yuan admonished, "but there is one thing that needs to be reminded of Brother Zhu. ”
Zhu Ying arched his hand and said, "Wang Shilang, please speak." ”
Wang Yuan said: "It's okay to make money in Nanyang, but you have to use the right way and method. It is forbidden to withhold the food and salary of the water master, it is not allowed to exploit the overseas Han people, and if you ask for money and land, you can stretch out your hand to other races. Man Zheng was originally the Admiral of the Three Islands, and Brother Zhu went to Admiral the Governor, and Man Zheng was definitely unhappy. You don't want to conflict with him, cooperate well with him, and you will naturally benefit a lot. Man Zheng's deputy, Ning Botao, is my confidant and favorite general, and I will discuss with him if there is anything. ”
"I will do it." Zhu Ying really didn't dare to mess around, there was nowhere to cry out for injustice in the broken place overseas, and he was killed by someone.
Spring is starting in a blink of an eye, but the weather is still very cold, and it is actually snowing during the Lantern Festival.
Zhu Yingxin was reluctant, but with some expectations, he set off for the Nanyang Admiral Daming Royal Navy.
And the inner and outer courts are still treacherous.
First of all, Lu Wan, the official of the Ministry of Justice, not only was he imprisoned, but even his ninety old mother was arrested. There were too many officials offended by this goods, no one pleaded for him, his wife and daughter were sent to the sect department, he was exiled with his son, and all the family property was confiscated.
Because of this incident, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty learned Yang Tinghe's ruthlessness, and even took Lu Wan's ninety old mother into custody, and died of illness in prison within a few days of being imprisoned.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang enforces the law harshly, the "Da Ming Law" follows the Chinese legal tradition, that is, there are lenient provisions for the elderly, the young, and the disabled-
Those who are over 70 years old, under 15 years of age, and those who are disabled, except for heinous sins, can be redeemed (atonement with money) for those who are under the sin of exile.
Those who are over 80 years old, under 10 years old, and severely disabled are guilty of capital crimes, and they must be reported to the central government, and the emperor will decide whether to live or die. Theft or wounding can be redeemed. For the remaining minor crimes, no criminal liability will be pursued, and only civil compensation will be liable.
If you are over 90 years old or under 7 years old, you have committed a capital crime, and you can't really put them to death!
According to the relevant provisions of the "Da Ming Law", the ninety old mother in Lu Wan's family can not be arrested at all. But Yang Tinghe just let people arrest him, knowing that the other party was old, he was still arrested in prison and left to fend for himself.
This move is quite chilling, Lu Wan really deserves to die, but did you Yang Tinghe also go too far?
Liang Chu was even more frightened, he, like Lu Wan, took advantage of Yang Ting and Ding Wei to betray. The only difference is that Lu Wan betrayed his benefactor, and Liang Chu betrayed his allies, and the latter's practices were commonplace. However, Yang Tinghe will definitely take revenge, no matter who betrays him!
Seeing Lu Wan's fate, Liang Chuqiao became more determined, unwilling to continue to mess with Yang Tinghe.
Li Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was released by Jinyiwei. However, there were many pieces of impeachment against him, and Li Qi could only resign on his own initiative, but the emperor did not agree and continued to stay in charge of the Ministry of Works.
Liu Yong, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, was demoted to Baode Zhizhou. Not only was it poor, but it was also close to the border, and one day it might encounter a Mongol army.
Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was impeached every day, but was saved by the cabinet. This guy also took the initiative to resign, and was also left by the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao had to protect him to the death. But even if he is deeply valued by the emperor, he will not want to enter the cabinet in the future, and it is impossible to change the emperor, because the stain is too great.
Jin Yiwei commanded Xue Xi and Chen Shan, and because of their friendship with Jiang Bin, they were all sentenced to prison, which was Li Sanlang's action.
Xiao Jing, the young eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and Li Ying, the eunuch of the imperial eunuch, were all punished to guard the mausoleum, which was Zhang Yongzai's complete elimination of Jiang Bin's remaining party.
Ying Tianfu Yin, Guangdong Right Bu Political Envoy, Yunnan Right Bu Political Envoy, Zhejiang Right Bu Political Envoy, Shanxi Provincial Envoy, Fujian Provincial Envoy, and the Ministry of Officials Lang Zhong...... Because of the implication of Lu Wan, a lot of them were removed, and this is just a local change.
Next, the focus of the court battle is the successor of the official secretary.
And in the center of the vortex is Liao Ji, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials.
Yang Yiqing strongly promoted Liao Ji to serve as the secretary of the ministry, but Yang Tinghe said that Liao Ji was Lu Wanyu's party.
Yang Yiqing scolded his mother in his heart: "The fart Lu Wanyu party, Liao Ji is obviously Lao Tzu's person, and he finally managed to withstand Lu Wan's exclusion, and now he has to deal with the blow of you, an old thief!" ”
Yang Tinghe also had a headache, because Liao Ji was like a stone in a pit, it was simply stinky and hard.
When Lu Wan was the secretary of the ministry, he asked Liao Ji for trouble countless times, but he couldn't catch Liao Ji's handle at all. This is a real Qing official, and later generations are known as the "Three Stars of the South China Sea" along with Qiu Jun and Hai Rui, and he is a super Qing official known all over the world.
How can such a person be brought down?
Yang Tinghe wanted to take action against Liao Ji, and as soon as he instigated the official to impeach, Qingliu began to express his dissatisfaction internally, and became more and more resistant to Yang Tinghe's unscrupulous behavior.
Historically, even if Yang Tinghe overturned a large number of officials, he was helpless against Liao Ji. He could only throw Liao Ji to Nanjing, and he had to be promoted to the position of Shangshu, and he was called back by Jiajing not long after.
What's even more rare is that Liao Ji has always been right about things and not people.
Jiajing asked Liao Ji to recommend officials, and most of the candidates he recommended were talented, regardless of factional background. There are both Yang Yiqing's people, Wang Qiong's people, and even Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu's people, and they also recommended Wang Yangming's comeback, but Jiajing didn't agree.
At this moment, Liao Ji's call to take over as the secretary of the ministry is very high. And Yang Tinghe was very helpless to find that in the face of the real Qing officials, he couldn't find the weakness of the attack at all.
Liao Ji had served as a fat man before, and Yang Tinghe sent someone to go through the old accounts, but he didn't get anything, but he was even more convinced of Liao Ji's status as a clean official. This old man, in every position, has left a great name.
How can there be such an official in the world?
The more Yang Tinghe investigated, the more weak his heart became, that is, those who have selfishness in their hearts, and the natural fear of facing selfless people.
Qingguan, you really can't afford to provoke it!
