Chapter 20: The Truth

How important Yu Qian is.

In the Hereafter, even ordinary people will know it.

However, Zhu Qizhen has been here for a month or two, and he also understands one thing. Many people's image of posterity is actually very different from his original appearance.

Even so, Zhu Qizhen will also be included in the list of alternate scholars, but now it may be useless, in the future, when Sanyang is old, he will replace Sanyang's minister, and he will be out of this list.

Of course, Li Shimian is also among them.

Yu Qian was born in the 31st year of Hongwu and the 19th year of Yongle as a jinshi, and now he is only in his thirties. It is the prime of life. It's already a governor.

Of course, the governors of this era were originally established, and there are still some differences from the governors of later generations.

In terms of supervision, it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate that sends officials to expatriate rather than local officials.

Even so. At the age of thirty-seven, he is a high-ranking official at the provincial and ministerial level. Anyway, it's young.

Zhu Qizhen also thought about adjusting Yu Qian, when he thought about it, he should forget it. Sometimes pulling out seedlings to help them grow is not necessarily a good thing, and Sanyang is still trustworthy.

What credit Yu Qian has, it is difficult to be overwhelmed.

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen's current power is all under the pretense of the power of the Empress Dowager.

He was well aware of that.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen's unauthorized promotion of Yu Qian may not be a good thing for Qian. It's not too late to talk about it when it's time to be pro-government.

However, even so, Zhu Qizhen is also very concerned about Qian.

"Grandson." The Empress Dowager said: "I will tell you a case today." ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately came back to his senses and said, "Grandma, tell me." ”

The Empress Dowager saw that Zhu Qizhen was distracted, but she didn't dig deeper, in his opinion, Zhu Qizhen was a child after all, and there were many things that even adults might not be able to understand.

The Empress Dowager said to Wang Zhen: "Bring Lu Quan's case file." ”

Wang Zhen immediately said: "Yes." ”

Wang Zhen came back in a short time, and presented a volume of documents in his hand, which was the so-called Lu Quan's case file.

Zhu Qizhen first looked at the documents of Lu Cheng's case file, which belonged to the Ministry of War, and then looked at Lu Quan's resume, and knew that he was the second generation of Jingnan heroes, of course, his ancestors did not have any great achievements.

Looking at the following content, it is that when Lu Cheng was serving as the commander of Shanxi, there were more than a dozen Tartars to come and surrender, and Lu Quan's intention to kill was to report his military merits.

When it was reviewed by the Ministry of War, it was said that it was a killing. for there were women among the heads.

Zhu Qizhen has read the following confession documents, as well as various descriptions of evidence, including a detailed description of seven of the dozen heads reported by Lu Quan, pointing out that this is a woman's head from all aspects.

Of course, although Zhu Qizhen can't understand it, it seems that the evidence is ironclad.

The Empress Dowager said, "I've finished reading." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I've finished reading." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "You can see something. ”

Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and said: "This Lu Cheng should not be wronged, even if it is not a killing, but it is inevitable to falsely report military merits." ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "Just see this. ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't understand for a while.

The Empress Dowager said: "People say that the emperor has every opportunity and sees everything, but only Emperor Taizu can do everything every day, and no one can do it after Taizu." ”

"It must be shared by the subordinates."

"There are only a few things that the emperor has to deal with every day, do you think that risking more than a dozen heads and involving a governor is involved, such a thing, why do I want you to see it?"

"There is naturally a process for such a thing, why do I want to show it to you?"

"Of course, in the future, you have to think, why do the people below want to show you this?"

Zhu Qizhen thought secretly in his heart. The matter of the governor seems to be small, but it is not small. But as the Empress Dowager said, there are Zhang Fu, Sanyang, and Hu Hu in the cabinet, and they are all old ministers, and such things have long been routine.

Why do you want to report it in a special way.

Do they disagree?

As soon as Zhu Qizhen thought of this, he went through the documents again, and the first thing he determined was that the military department.

This case was initiated by the Ministry of War.

Speaking of soldiers and horses in various places, they are also under the jurisdiction of the governors of the five armies. Now, although the military department is getting stronger, it has been encroaching on the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

Not to mention anything else, this time Sanyang wants to rectify the soldiers and horses in various places, which is led by the Ministry of War and jointly handled by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Under the offensive of the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies gradually transformed into a pension institution.

Could it be that there is a conflict between the powers of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War?

Or is Lu Quannai a descendant of Jingnan, he has a backstage, and he wants to come to his backstage is Zhang Fu?

The Ministry of War has already arrested people and sent them to prison, Zhang Fu thinks it is too heavy?

Zhu Qizhen thought about it and told the Empress Dowager what he thought?

The Empress Dowager did not say that she was right, nor did she say that she was wrong. Instead, he said: "So to report to your case, you have to know the triple truth, the first truth is the truth of the case, the second is why the case can be reported, and the third is the truth you want." ”

"You can find out for yourself this matter."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Grandson is so checked? ”

The Empress Dowager said: "The commander of the Jinyi Guard Shen can also be regarded as a meritorious hero, but he can't do these delicate work, I have already transferred him to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and you can find someone to serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "How is Shi Jing? ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "Shi Jing, this kid, is good. Although there are no regulations restricting the use of horses in our dynasty, it has been the practice of the past dynasties. If you are willing to promote him, just allow him to lead troops in the future, and don't hand over the Jinyi Guard to him, I'm afraid he won't be able to fight those old foxes. ”

"It hurt him."

Zhu Qizhen knew in his heart that it would be fine if Jin Yiwei didn't do anything. As long as he does things, there is no good end for this Jinyi Guard Commander, but what is the use of the Jinyi Guard Commander who doesn't do things?

Shi Jing, judging from the information found by Wang Zhenzhen, is a powerful general, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and has been in more than a dozen cold and summer, and he is also proficient in literature and ink, although he cannot be said to be both civil and military, but it is enough to lead troops to fight.

It's hard to say whether he will be able to serve as a general in the future. But as a thousand households, or commanders, it is enough.

It's just that he is still young and needs to be sharpened.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sun Er understands. Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not speak, he asked, "Grandma, don't you want to talk about the thorns?" ”

The Empress Dowager frowned and glanced at Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen suddenly felt cold all over his body.

The Empress Dowager said: "Grandson, there are some things that I shouldn't have said, but I want to warn you that Emperor Taizong has made five expeditions to Mobei, and he wants to clean up the dust, but what is the result?" ”

"The treasury of the world is empty, and the people are tired of transporting. The people of the world are already bitter enough, and they still have to raise unknown teachers and seize barren land. People die and politics disappear, and on the grassland, there is still one rise and one decline. There is no termination. ”

"Emperor Taizong I was wise, but this is a big mistake."

"Wang Zhen and others are often in the court, only seeing the mighty soldiers, where to see the people's fat and people's ointment. Now that my father has just gone, the world is full of hidden dangers, and within two months, I have adjusted the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies several times and rewarded me with three, for what? ”

"I can't control what happens in the future. But with me one day, don't talk about the prairie for a day. ”

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "Grandma is angry, and grandchildren are self-aware." There will never be such delusional thoughts, but the northern captives are my enemies, how can my grandson turn a blind eye? You have to figure it out. ”

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face softened slightly, and she said, "Didn't Jinyiwei give it to you?" Check it out for yourself. ”

The Empress Dowager has time and a kind of helplessness, his grandson seems to be obedient, but the mainland is very assertive, and sometimes she doesn't know what direction he can take Daming.

For the emperor, it is not good to be not smart, but it is also worrying to be too smart.

A lot of big mistakes can only be made by smart people.

The so-called, wisdom is enough to refuse admonition, words are enough to disguise wrong, this is the kind of person who said.

This one thing passed like this. Zhu Qizhen never mentioned the matter of the thorn. After having lunch in Cining Palace, I stayed in Cining Palace for another afternoon, and it was almost dark before returning to Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qizhen lay alone in the brocade quilt and fell into deep thought.
