Chapter 140: The Tile Thorn Mission

When the noise in the capital is extremely high.

In a courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, there are guards from the Beijing camp on all sides. Not even a single fly can fly. It looks like a VIP, but it's a cage.

Among them was none other than Boyan Timur.

The route chosen by Attimur was good.

When Boyan Timur arrived in the northwest, the generals at all levels did not dare to slack off, so they reported to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian naturally couldn't do the thing of blocking the news and killing the envoys.

Not to mention that Renchen does not have diplomatic powers, whether he supports or opposes peace, it is impossible for him to hide it from Beijing, and secondly, in Yu Qian's view, the war has reached this point, and it can be slowed down.

You must know that in the last years of Yongle, Emperor Taizong only wanted to use the Hanhai Sea as the boundary with Tatar at that time, but Emperor Taizong didn't know who to talk to, so he just continued to fight.

Now the imperial court has done something far beyond Emperor Taizong's expectations.

Yu Qian was noncommittal about the war and peace, but he also felt that the battle with the tile spur should be slowed down.

Those who hold the same idea have a significant number of civil servants.

And this opinion is transmitted layer by layer on Chen Xun's side.

Chen Xun, as the first assistant, naturally has two sides, facing the hundred officials below, he represents the monarchy, but in the face of the emperor, he has to represent the ministers.

Serve as a bridge of communication between the two.

Chen Xun, whether he wants it or not, must bear such a responsibility.

Therefore, Chen Xun took advantage of the matter of the envoy to see Zhu Qizhen.

In fact, the envoy has been in Beijing for a while, but the cabinet has been making repeated progress. Zhu Qizhen dragged it.

When Chen Xun asked to see him, Zhu Qizhen was teaching the prince.

The crown prince has been in charge of the country for several months, and it is more of a tablet. The big things are sent to the line, and the small things are dealt with by the cabinet, but even so, the prince came into contact with national affairs for the first time, and he also had the intention of studying hard.

There are a lot of problems that have accumulated.

At the moment, he was asking Zhu Qizhen.

The biggest problem is disaster relief.

The prince asked Zhu Qizhen and said: "The child has carefully crossed the disaster relief since this year, and the grain that has been reduced and distributed this year is about more than 1.5 million stones. And judging from the documents of previous years, it seems that there are disaster relief measures every year. Is there really no way to avoid this natural disaster? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Good question, how can there be no disadvantages in disaster relief, there are never many disadvantages in this, those who lie about the disaster, those who conceal the disaster, those who withhold the disaster food, and so on." There are all kinds of tricks. ”

When Zhu Qizhen said this, he couldn't help but show a hint of sneer.

Bureaucrats have been the same from ancient times to the present, and naturally there have been fires and suicides

Emotions happen.

Zhu Qizhen is sure that part of the relief food he sends out every year has been swallowed.

"However, the people are important, there are some things that cannot be investigated, but they must not be investigated, after every disaster relief, I will ask Dongchang Jinyi Wei to check again." Zhu Qizhen said.

The prince said: "But Dongchang Jinyiwei is reliable? ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "My son is deeply heartfelt, naturally I can't believe it all, I have to compare the documents of the three aspects, the magistrate's, the imperial history, the Dongchang, the Jinyiwei, the Quartet, the difference is too much, naturally there is a problem, so I will specially select people from the Jinyiwei to check again, if they are all the same, the problem is even greater." Select upright officials from the court, such as Geng Jiuchou, Wang Yu and others, and ask them to check again. ”

The prince was a little puzzled and asked, "The Quartet is the same, there will be a big problem?" ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't answer, and said, "This is your homework today, think about it." ”

Zhu Qizhen hadn't thought of this question before. Because of the different directions of statistical surveys, there are many errors in the decision-making of various sources.

Anyway, Zhu Qizhen hasn't seen it yet, and the things that have been investigated for several years are exactly the same.

Therefore, if everything reported is exactly the same, it can only mean that the local area has been monolithic, and even the Jinyi Guard of Dongchang has been bought by the local officials.

Therefore send important ministers. A complete purge.

Zhu Qizhen continued: "As for whether natural disasters can be avoided, I just said that man will win the day, I have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Hebei, the Three Lakes and Five Rivers Project, and now although there are frequent droughts in Hebei, Hebei is at least a peaceful year, and Hebei's wealth is already the most in the north." ”

"This is the victory of man over the sky, but all natural disasters are three points of natural disasters and seven points of man-made disasters, and this man-made disaster may not be someone who harms the people, but people do not do what they should do. As long as the water conservancy is diligent. One day, even if there is a drought and flood locust plague, for the Ming Dynasty, it is just a breeze. ”

Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of the afterlife. He suddenly had a feeling of wanting to go back, because later generations have already done this, many people face typhoons, rains and droughts, and their first reaction is to shoot Douyin, but they don't know that if they turn over hundreds of years, this heavy rain and a typhoon can determine the life and death of many people.

The crown prince couldn't help but say longingly: "Father, can you really do it?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yugong just moves mountains, what the father can't do, you do, you can't do it, your son does it, and the children and grandchildren are endless, and one day you can do it." ”

The prince said, "The child understands. ”

Fan Hong then said, "Your Majesty, Shoufu has arrived. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "He should come too." Let him in. Then he asked the prince to go to the side to listen and invited Chen Xun in.

After Chen Xun came in, he saluted Zhu Qizhen, and then again

Salute the Prince.

Most of the courtiers were happy to see the prince's participation in political affairs.

This is of course the respect of many civil officials for orthodoxy, and it is also the ancestral family law of the Ming Dynasty.

The ancestral family law of the Ming Dynasty is the most lenient to the prince, and the power of the prince's deputy monarch is confirmed at the level of the ancestral family law, and whether it is Zhu Biao who assisted Emperor Taizu in ruling the world, or Emperor Renzong when he was the prince, he was in charge of the affairs of the world.

has already explained the prominent political position of the Ming Prince.

Chen Xun first told Zhu Qizhen the news of the envoy of the tile spur and said: "The envoy of the tile spur has reached a surplus, how to deal with it, please ask Your Majesty to show me." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The two countries are fighting each other, and if they don't kill them, I can't break the rules." Let him come from whence and go. ”

Chen Xun immediately said: "Your Majesty's great victory over the tile spur is also dead, and now Mobei is owned by the imperial court, and the tile spur has fled westward, and there is no longer any threat to the imperial court." Although Your Majesty's country is large, it is dangerous to forget the war, and the warlike will die. Please also think twice, Your Majesty. ”

Chen Xun's reaction to Zhu Qizhen was actually expected.

Chen Xun has been the first assistant for several years, although many times he is just doing things according to orders. But after a long time, the emperor's thoughts and some routines are also very clear.

All the things that Zhu Qizhen dragged out and didn't do, most of them were at odds with the opinions of hundreds of officials.

In fact, Chen Xun was also willing to drag it, but now he couldn't drag it out.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. Chen, there are some things that you have forgotten, but I have not forgotten them. Immortal, I am speechless to face the ancestors and ancestors. ”

The obstacles that Zhu Qizhen deliberately set up at the beginning have been moved out at this moment.

Chen Xun was also prepared, and said: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, Ze has been surrounded by birds and beasts, not to mention the people of Li, whenever there is a natural disaster, Your Majesty will ask, can the people get food?" Then eat, ask the crops to get water, and then drink, love the people, and the ancient sages are no different. ”

"But since the 14th year of orthodoxy, the tile spurs have been soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died in battle, and the border soldiers have suffered from transshipment, and the people of Hebei have difficulty in requisitioning and distributing."

"Your Majesty loves the people of the world, why don't you think of the hearts of the people, pity the sufferings of the people, temporarily stop the military affairs, and rest with the people."

Chen Xun's sycophancy made Zhu Qizhen blush a little.

However, he also knew that what Chen Xun said may not be true.

Yes, every grain of sand of the times is an unbearable weight for a family, and a war will never leave no one dead.

Yan Ran won a great victory, and there were no less than 20,000 people killed in battle and died of injuries and diseases. Behind this are 20,000 families, and most of these 20,000 families are from the Northland.

Chen Xun said, the plan is not untrue.

Zhu Qizhen is not unaware, but bargaining is like this, even if Zhu Qizhen takes a step back, he must take a step forward as a bargaining chip.
