Xiyuan is really a good place to escape the summer, not to mention that the grass and trees are lush and clear wood to nourish the spirit, only to say that a corner of the island in the lake leads to living water, open the canal and build stones, make a small stacked spring waterfall, the breeze rolls the water vapor, the face is cool, just listen to the sound of the clear Lingling water is already refreshing.

But in the small hall of Tingquan by the water, Brother Shou's voice was full of anger, "I don't even raise peanuts, but I want to raise so many officials for them, they are bigger than me!" ”

Although Cai Zhen, the commander of the sect, and Fei Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were embarrassed, they all saluted and said to the emperor.

Cai Juma turned around and instructed the Zongren Mansion who was writing there: "In the future, except for the history of the prince's mansion and the professors of the county prince's mansion, the rest of the judges, Jishan, Fengci, Gongzheng, good doctors, Dianshan, Dianbao, Dianji, Dian, Quotation, Companion Reading, Warehouse and other officials will be set up as a regular member, and the rest will be cut ......."

That experience is like a flying pen, quickly write it down, and Cai Juma whispered to him to indicate the specific regulations such as the internal servant at the back, prohibiting the private collection of clean people, and so on.

The fan in Brother Shou's hand shook, snorted in his nose, and said: "In the future, the county king, generals, lieutenants, county lords, houses, crown clothes and grave prices will all be exempted, and it will always be a rule." ”

Fei Hong praised the saint again, and Cai Yuma's side reiterated to the experience that since Hongzhi, it is strictly forbidden to trespass the clothes of Zongyi, and the violators will be investigated and questioned.

In this morning, nearly 40 articles of suzerainty reform were listed.

Among them, there are many regulations such as the opening of the ban on feudal domains, and even the ban on entering the government, but I am afraid that once it is announced, it will cause an uproar.

Of course, this is not the final draft, and it still needs to be discussed by the cabinet, but seeing the emperor's resolute attitude and the rebellion of King Anhua, I think this regulation will not be deleted too much.

Brother Shou said everything he wanted to say, flipped through the booklet in his hand, threw it aside, and called the waiter to pass the meal, and changed his good attitude and left the two of them to eat in Xiyuan.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them too much.

In recent years, the emperor has become more and more casual, often staying for meals and even staying for important ministers, both of them are accustomed to it, but they are full of worries, no matter how beautiful this Xiyuan delicacy is, it will not be unpleasant to eat.

After the meal, Fei Hong went out of Xiyuan to return to the official office, and he had to continue to have a headache tomorrow This feudal regulation will be brought to the cabinet, if the cabinet elders are unanimously opposed, he will have to take the blame.

The matter involved the clan and was a first-class secret, and even if he was let go back, he had to keep his mouth shut, and he didn't dare to discuss it with anyone, so he had to think about it himself. It's really bitter.

And Cai Yuma, who was named by the emperor to stay and continue the discussion, was also full of bitterness.

In recent years, the clan has not been very peaceful, and Cai Juma, the sect order, is also quite tired, and his uncle King Gode and several vassal kings in Shandong have just been revealed, and the county king in the northwest has rebelled again.

When the battle was reported to Beijing, Li Dongyang immediately asked Yang Yiqing to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and Liu Jin recommended Jingyang Bo Shenying as the chief military officer.

Yang Yiqing is the military affairs of the three towns in general, and it is natural to quell the rebellion.

And that Shenying said that he was originally a border general and had been a chief military officer, but in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, he was greedy and banned border trade, and he sat back and watched Kou plunder Ulzhou and did not save him, so he was impeached by the official and went to work and lived idle.

It wasn't until Dayan Khan committed Bian Xuanfu in the early years of Zhengde that Shenying recovered, led his troops to help, and made great achievements.

Later, he made meritorious contributions to the bandits around Gyeonggi and became the governor of the right capital, so he took refuge in Liu Jin, threw down a lot of money, and was awarded the title of Jingyang Bo.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Jin launched Shenying at this time, not only to grab this military achievement, but also to plan for Yansui and Ningxia Mashi in the future.

As a result, the commander of the counterinsurgency has not yet been decided, and there are suddenly rumors in Beijing such as "King Anhua can beat the banner of the Qing monarch" and "Liu Jin's ten major crimes are listed in the text".

However, in the many war reports of the Ministry of War and the Cabinet, there is no mention of such a text.

Subsequently, six departments impeached Liu Jin in the middle of the matter, and even "guessed" that Liu Jin was suspected of hiding the text, but was directly reprimanded and framed by Liu Jin in court.

The emperor seems to be dissatisfied with this quarrel - at the moment of the rebellion, how can there be any extra time wasted on such a war of words, he quickly issued an order, Yang Yiqing is the general military affairs, Zhang Yong is the supervising army, and Shenying is the chief military officer to jointly quell the rebellion.

Such a result, I think it is necessary to give a little sweetness one by one to appease all parties.

But in reality, neither side was appeased.

Here Shenying has left the capital, and there is still a lot of noise in the court, and the document has been mentioned by more and more people, but there has never been "empirical evidence" from "official channels".

On the street, the East Factory and the West Factory and the Jinyi Guards went out one after another to arrest the people who "spread rumors and make trouble".

In the next few days, the past "violations of law and discipline" in the matter of impeaching Liu Jin were successively excavated by Jinyiwei and presented to the imperial front.

Liu Jin was arrogant, although he was not in the heavy flail, but he fined each person 100 stones, and kept saying that they would not be embarrassed to "lose the side", as long as they were sent to Henan, which had just reported the drought.

At the same time, he wrote a letter requesting that Henan's warehouses and tuntian be inventoried and cleared acres of land in preparation for disaster relief.

This time, the pot exploded again.

The former ministers Liu Jian and Jiao Fang, the current ministers Liu Yu and the Ministry of Industry Li Yi are all from Henan!

Although most of Liu Jianmen's people were swept away by Liu Jin, and Jiao Fang's resignation was greatly affected, there were still a lot of Henan officials in the court!

And these officials in the court, who doesn't have "some" hidden fields at home?

For a while, all the officials folded one after another, saying that the top priority at the moment was to quell the rebellion in the northwest, and there were rumors that the rebellion was all due to the "inventory of Tuntian", and it was better not to investigate it again at such a sensitive time.

Moreover, Henan was hit by the disaster, and the land was immediately found out and had to be cultivated in the next year, and it was impossible to feed the victims immediately. In the process of inventory, it is necessary to mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources, which will cost the people and money, but will make the disaster area even worse.

The matter of the Qing Dynasty in Henan was still in a stalemate, and the emperor secretly summoned Fei Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Cai Zhen, the commander of the sect, to discuss the reform of the clan.

Both of them have a feeling that the emperor is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Fei Hong said euphemistically, shouldn't the clan be appeased at this time?

The emperor only said that this rebellion had exposed some problems, and that he would first check and fill in the gaps and list the things that need to be changed.

As for when it will be promulgated, the emperor did not say a word.

Fei Hong's foundation in the DPRK is still shallow, and when he was just promoted to the Ministry of Rites, he encountered a fraud case in the spring of the sixth year of Zhengde, and almost lost his official hat, and then he has been cautious in his words and deeds.

Especially listening to the changes proposed by the emperor, although there are some surprises, but it is probably the reform of Zonglu, and the important ministers in the court do not know the difficulty of Zonglu's distribution, so Fei Hong's words of persuasion are swallowed.

As for Cai Yuma, their family was originally on the emperor's side, and the clan is now "full of crimes", what else can he say about this sect order.

At this time, the emperor left him alone, and Cai Yuma kept thinking about what it was for.

Brother Shou changed his cold face when he talked about the reform of the clan just now, and his smile became gentle and harmless.

"Uncle and grandfather," he greeted cordially, and said another good news, "Zhang Yong is in a hurry to report that the rebellion has been quelled, and he will escort Zhu Ningxiao (King of Anhua) back to Beijing when it is completely swept away." ”

Cai was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and congratulated the saint repeatedly.

I calculated in my heart, and I went to the road for a long time, and it took only a few days to put down the rebellion! What a miracle soldier.

Of course, the sooner the rebellion is ended, the better, and the fewer people can be affected, and the better the mess will be cleaned up!

Brother Shou also laughed heartily, but said in his mouth: "I also followed the secret report, saying that the Qing Mansion, the Jin Mansion, and the Dai Mansion all colluded with Anhua. King Qing also gave Zhu Ningyan a courtesy. ”

Cai Yuma's smile froze on his face.

King Anhua, the king of the county, was originally from a branch of King Qing's mansion, and the current King Qing is a generation shorter than King Anhua, which is indeed very similar to what King Qing can do......

He didn't know what to do for a while, he wanted to say apologies, and he couldn't talk about apologies.

This decree says that it is in charge of the clan, but in fact, it is only in charge of the subordinate family.

Because of his high seniority, he can still reprimand one or two juniors from the clan near him, who can manage the vassal kings and county kings who are far away in the sky?

Brother Shou didn't want him to do anything, so he sent two secret folds by express.

Cai Yuma took it and looked at it, his face was even worse, and the secret compromise was full of evil deeds committed by the Jin clan and the Dai clan in Shanxi.

In addition, according to the statistics of Shanxi clan Dingkou, house, Zhuangtian, incense field, etc., the greedy occupation of land and the huge amount of Zonglu almost dragged down the entire Shanxi.

Cai Yu's hands trembled a little, and he asked himself, he actually didn't know all about these clan behaviors, just look at his eldest uncle, King Gode, but in the end, he didn't expect it to come to this point.

After a while, Cai Yuma said in a low voice: "Emperor Shengming, this feudal rule, this Zonglu, can't be changed." ”

He thought that the emperor would show him this, thinking that he would be able to stand up and support the reform of the clan on behalf of the clan when the cabinet deliberates tomorrow.

"This is the secret fold of Shen Hui, who participated in Shanxi politics, he is Shen Rui's brother. After that, Shen Rui and Shen Hui jointly went to the reform of the clan and the domain. ”

Brother Shou didn't look at the stunned Cai Fuma, but looked at the stream that had fallen several times outside the Xuan window, and seemed to say to himself: "Zonglu is difficult to continue for a day or two, the treasury is empty, the court is in trouble, but the clan is still constantly folding begging fields, begging for rice, begging for salt, and begging for seals!" ”

"If I don't give it, they dare to ask the people to take it!" Brother Shou suddenly turned around and said, "This world, is it my world, or theirs?" ”

"It is said that you should be cautious and cautious in dealing with the sect and the domain, Zhu Ningyan is like this, if I am cautious, he will not rebel? The Jin clan and the Dai clan have returned to the grassland over the years, haven't they taken enough, and they don't hook up with Zhu Ningyao? ”

With a cold look in his eyes, he stared at Cai Yuma, and said almost word by word: "What other feudal mansions, one by two, are all staring at the Tai, the temple, the division, and the incense." ”

The eldest princess of Chun'an has been running for the emperor's heirs, and the thorn in the emperor's heart is clear.

He trembled and knelt down, but finally only said "Your Majesty", and the voice was extremely old.

Brother Shou raised his hand to help him, and his voice softened again, "Uncle and grandfather, I can only say these words to you and my aunt and grandmother." ”

Cai Fu was sloppy with tears in his eyes, and lowered his head and said: "It's the old minister who is incompetent......"

Brother Shou interrupted him and said, "Uncle, there are some things that I can't say, but you can say." ”

"The old minister understands, over there, there are old ministers to say." Cai Juma immediately assured that even if the elders were against it, he would do everything he could to facilitate this matter.

Zongfan is already a big problem, if this matter does not change, it will be chaotic again in another day, and he will not have the face to see the Ying Temple, the Xian Temple and the first emperor.

Brother Shou smiled and said gently: "It's a loss to have my aunt and grandmother with you." ”

As he spoke, he patted the fold again, and said, "Also, Shen Rui is such a loyal minister." At this time, he was far away in Shandong, how easy it was to protect his body, it was rare for him to be sincere, and he was considered everywhere for me, for the court, for the people, and he was not afraid of broken bones, and resolutely went to this secret fold. ”

Cai Ju Ma Yuan also had a very good impression of Shen Rui, and at this time he sighed with emotion: "Shen Rui is not only a capable official, but also a loyal minister. It is also His Majesty's wisdom like a torch, and he reuses Shen Ruifang to let it be displayed. ”

Brother Shou was obviously happy and nodded frequently.

He really didn't expect Shen Rui to give him such an excerpt.

Shen Rui has always been a person who "has a way" in his eyes, and this method is probably used in territorial governance.

He originally thought that Shen Rui's excerpt would talk about how to restore and promote Shandong's experience after the war, perhaps to open the market for trade, and he was quite looking forward to seeing how Shen Rui would restore Shanxi's prosperity.

Unexpectedly, what Shen Rui handed over would be the reform of the clan domain.

I didn't expect it to be such a detailed content, but I didn't expect it to be a visionary idea!

I never expected that at such a moment, Shen Rui would dare to stand up and talk about the problem of the sect!

It's the best time.

Shou Ge rubbed his hands, he had already seen that those vassal kings were not pleasing to the eye, but this group of people did not make big moves and did not make small movements, and the old ministers were always nagging cautious and cautious.

What about prudence, if you have an anti-heart, you must always be opposed!

First, there was the ambition of the wolf son of the Ning Domain to plunder Songjiang and Taihu Lake to raise private soldiers, and then there was the Jin Mansion, the Dai Mansion and the grassland colluded and partnered, this Anhua was directly reversed!

Don't take advantage of this time to clean them up, but wait for when!

Shen Ruiti is at the right time!

"Shen Rui has lived up to my high hopes!" Brother Shou's joy was beyond words, and he said to Cai Juma, "Shen Rui has other Chen presents......

Brother Shou was about to further talk about the layout of Shanxi in the future, when Liu Zhong shook at the door.

Brother Shou knew that something was wrong, so he nodded and let him come in and return.

Liu Zhong whispered in his ear: "Liu Jin's brother has just died. Liu Jin asked to see her outside. ”

Brother Shou rolled his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Just right, let him in." ”

*

Liu Jin has a lot of eyes and ears in the inner court, and when he entered the West Garden, he was greeted by a small chamberlain and quietly said that Emperor Bai summoned Fei Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the sect Ling Cai Yuma, because there was no one to serve in front of the emperor, but he didn't know what he said.

At noon, the emperor also gave lunch to the two adults, and Lord Fei left with it, and Cai Fuma was still in front of the palace.

In addition, Qian Ning Qian Baihu came twice and did not see the emperor.

Liu Jin listened all the way, and his mind had already turned a few times.

After waiting outside the hall for a while, he heard the summons inside, Liu Jin straightened his clothes, adjusted his expression again, his sleeves brushed the corners of his eyes, and his eyes turned red in an instant, but no tears fell, and he entered the hall with a full look of forbearance and sadness.

The little attendants on both sides looked at it with straight eyes, and thought in their hearts, what is the ancestor of Liu, who is so free, but he has to study well for three or five years......

Liu Jin didn't care that Cai Juma and Liu Zhong were present when he entered the door, he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed his head, whimpered and shouted "Long live the lord".

Brother Shou sent Liu Zhong to help Liu Jin up, and sighed: "Great companion mourning." The big friend doesn't need to worry about me, and he can go with confidence, and it is important to get things done at home first. ”

Liu Jin kowtowed again and said: "It is the sin of the slave and maid to disturb the emperor because of the slave maid's family affairs." ”

Brother Shou waved his hand and said, "Don't be sad, don't say such things again." He added, "Take care of your body and take care of your family, and I still have important things to do here." ”

Hearing this, Liu Jin hurriedly said: "How dare you delay the important matter of the Long Live Lord, and ask the Long Live Lord to make it clear, and the slave maid will do it." ”

With tears in his eyes, he said: "Don't say that the slave and maid are loyal to the lord, and the slave and maid's brother is also generally loyal to the saint, and he never dares to be vague and sloppy in his errands. ”

"The heart of the big companion knows everything, and he is really conscientious when talking about thousands of households."

Liu Jin, the elder brother, eats, drinks and has fun diligently.

However, Liu Jin's Yishou brother was very clear, and he didn't pretend to be confused, but leaned over, slowed down his voice, and said: "Big companion, I will continue to report that the Jin Domain, the Dai Domain, and the Qing Domain have taken a counterstep. ”

Liu Jin was taken aback, and subconsciously went to see Cai Yuma.

Cai Yuma sighed and nodded slowly.

Liu Jin said in his heart, no wonder His Majesty summoned the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to discuss the matter.

The righteousness in his mouth was awe-inspiring, and he said that the traitor was really hateful, and the Jin clan did not know what to do, but his heart had already turned a hundred times.

I heard the emperor's instructions: "I plan to let you secretly send Jinyi Wei and competent people from the insider factory to Shanxi to investigate this matter thoroughly, be quick, don't show the news, if there is anything wrong, the government will arrest it immediately." ”

said that it was "Arrested", then he didn't let go of any of them, Liu Jin's eyelids jumped, and he went to look at Cai Yuma again.

Cai Yuma's cheeks twitched uncontrollably, and finally he didn't say anything.

Liu Jin hesitated slightly, then kowtowed steadily, and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

He has been having a very bad time recently, and he obviously used all the factory guards to hide it well, but he was still impeached by others.

He didn't care about those jumping clowns at all, the only thing he cared about was what the emperor thought.

Although the emperor quickly agreed to Shenying leading the troops to quell the rebellion, the emperor did not mention the text to him in private, which made him feel worried.

That's why he hurriedly used the ideas of his staff to throw out Qingzhang Henan, in order to win the emperor's attention.

Henan is close, there are many fertile fields, and the effect is immediate, and Henan is the hometown of Liu Jian's old horseman, so he can take the opportunity to crush the old horseman and his disciples to death...... He had thought about all kinds of benefits, but he didn't think of the disadvantages-

Those low-level Henan officials will stare at him like a hornet, although it is small, it is poisonous! It's a horde again!

Now, the emperor is willing to give him the task, and he naturally wants to take it immediately to show his loyalty.

The vassal king is a hot potato.

It's not so much a check as a copy, he Liu Jin has been with you for so many years, and the emperor's mind is still figuring out one or two.

Liu Jin knew very well how much shock it would cause if he copied the vassal king, but as long as the emperor still trusted him and was willing to use him, what was there to fear from his authority!

What's more, these feudal kings have not given him any benefits, on the contrary, if he wants to insert a foot in the horse market in the future, these feudal kings will only be a stumbling block.

It's good to take advantage of the emperor's anger to copy it!

Liu Jin replied so quickly and so crisply, and Brother Shou also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He didn't explain further, but seemed to sigh: "The eldest companion and the brothers of the thousand households are really loyal to the country. Today, I talked about thousands of households, but the imperial court lost its talents......"

Liu Jin was overjoyed, his choice was indeed right.

He entered the palace at such a time to ask for a reward for his brother, not only for the funeral to look better, but also because there were too many people who pounced on him and bit him this time, and he wanted to use the emperor's generous gift to show that his holy family was still there and deter the group.

Hearing the emperor praise his brother, his heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster, he took the hot potato, and the emperor would not treat him badly.

Sure enough, I heard the emperor instruct Liu Zhongdao: "Spread the oracle, after talking about the grain, the military governor and the governor of the palace will know the same thing, give his wife and three generations of orders, and give sacrifices and funerals." ”

With a heart that fell to the ground steadily, Liu Jin was much more sincere, his face was full of gratitude, and he said that the emperor's grace was mighty, and the slave and maid died to repay the grace of the saint.

Brother Shou listened with a smile, encouraged him a few words and let him go.

Liu Zhong also quietly retreated, preparing the holy decree and reward.

Only Cai and horses are left in the palace.

Cai Yuma wanted to open his mouth several times, what kind of goods are the Jinyi Wei Insider Factory, send them, I can't tell what kind of scourge the vassal will become, wouldn't it have to force the vassal king to rebel!

But looking at the young emperor's face with a gentle smile, he could fully imagine how the emperor would reply lightly after he asked, that is, let Zhang Yong return to Beijing later.

There is also Shenying's army, it is impossible to get to Ningxia in this short time, but it is just right to get to Shanxi......

That's it, the Jin clan is also self-inflicted, and it can't live.

When I dared to drive the displaced people to Beijing, I had to think that sooner or later I would be replaced by liquidation.

Cai Yuma hung his head, but finally remained silent.

"Uncle and grandfather," Brother Shou didn't seem to care about Cai Yuma's emotions at all, and said with a smile, "I was interrupted by Liu Jin before I could say anything." I plan to establish martial arts in Shanxi again, and Liulang has also experienced martial arts in Jingwei in the past few years, and it just so happened that Shanxi martial arts was at the helm in the past! ”

This Liulang is talking about Cai Yuma's grandson, Cai Yu.

Cai Liang, the eldest grandson of Cai Yuma, is now in charge of the warriors of the leopard room, and he is a first-class confidant of Brother Shou, and the second grandson Cai Yu was also on duty in the leopard room before, and after Zhang Hui went to Liaodong, he was transferred to Jingwei Wuxue to give Zhou Xian a hand.

The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty was originally divided into the martial arts of the Jingwei and the martial arts established by the local guards, although Taizu did not have the intention of training senior military attachés at the beginning of its establishment, but later, it basically became a school for the children of military attachés, and it was still the kind of mess.

In the first year of Zhengde, Shou Ge made a drastic reform of Jingwei martial arts, in addition to the children of the nobles must be enrolled, Jinyiwei, Leopard House warriors, and martial arts people also need to be enrolled, and strict evaluation system, and there are various martial arts exercises, military parades, in recent years, remarkable results.

In that reform, there were also Shen Rui and Zhang Hui who supported them, and this time it was also Shen Rui who made a secret fold and suggested that Shanxi martial arts should be built again, and the martial arts of the Weisu Institute should be merged, so that the children of the border generals could study, and the middle and low-level officers would also be allowed to study.

At the same time, I also want to achieve what I couldn't achieve at the beginning, so that some of the students of Jingwei Martial Arts can come to the border to learn and practice and get in touch with the real border defense.

In this way, if there is a war on the nine sides in the future, outstanding cadets will be selected from the martial arts to be on top, so as to avoid the situation of "not adapting to the soil and water" to the greatest extent.

Therefore, at present, the chief and deputy envoys in Shanxi martial arts are equivalent to the seat teachers among civil officials.

Cai Yuma's spirit is greatly boosted, if Liulang Cai Yu can be appointed as the deputy envoy of Shanxi martial arts, his status in the border army in the future can be imagined!

As the grandson of the eldest princess, the title is no longer worth mentioning to Cai Yu, and it is also a false title to seal the hundred households in brocade clothes, and any real position needs to rely on his own efforts.

Now that the emperor has given him a great opportunity, Cai Juma is grateful.

Brother Shou smiled and helped Cai Juma up and said, "I also plan to set up a few 'research institutes' in Shanxi martial arts, and I also want my aunt and grandfather to refer to them in detail!" ”
