Chapter 369: Before the Storm (Ask for Collection~)
Jingyang Palace, partial room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse and looked at the two ministers in front of him.
One is Bi Ziyan and the other is Li Banghua.
Bi Ziyan was the first governor of Tian/Jinwei, the former head of the household department, who was framed by Wei Zhongxian and forced to resign and return to his hometown. Li Banghua is the current governor of Tian/Jinwei, and he is a neutral Donglin Party member like Yuan Keli.
Zhu Xu looked at the two of them, very satisfied, and said with a smile, "Move a stool for the two adults." ā
Li Banghua saw Zhu Xu for the second time, Bi Ziyan was the first time, the two were old colleagues, they looked at each other, and they both raised their hands and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ā
Cao Huachun moved a stool and placed it behind the two of them, and neither of them really sat down.
Zhu Xu didn't care, and said with a smile: "I summoned the two adults here today, first, I want to ask about the situation of Tian/Jinwei, and second, I want to hear Lord Bi's thoughts on the household department and taxes." ā
Li Bangyan pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the strategy of 'tripartite arrangement' has gradually shown results, and the mountain/sea/pass, heaven/Jinwei, and Deng/state sailors have formed horns with each other. The minister has reclaimed nearly 50,000 hectares of wasteland, and it is still being cultivated, and it will not take long to support the grain and salary of Liaodong. The minister was also ordered to investigate the occupation of the army, false impostority and other matters, which was quite effective. ā
Zhu Xu nodded from time to time when he listened, but sighed secretly in his heart, this emperor didn't believe him very much, and what he said was very general and didn't involve specific things. Fortunately, he also knew about it through various channels, and after listening to it, he said with a smile: "Well, Tian/Jinwei is the most important rear in Liaodong, and I can rest assured that I will hand it over to you." Any other suggestions? ā
Li Banghua looked up at Zhu Xu, bowed slightly and said: "The minister asks the emperor to guard against the chaos of the people and arrest the spies. ā
Zhu Xu was quite happy in the front, but it was not a taste in the back, I am afraid that most of the rumors in the capital came from him, the emperor who 'raised troops and disordered the government', no wonder they were all very restrained.
This Li Banghua is also the pillar of Qingliu, in the forty-first year of Wanli, Emperor Shenzong did not want to let King Fu become a vassal, and he shirked many times, and the ministers did not dare to say much, Li Banghua took the lead, and only then led a cadre of ministers to force Emperor Shenzong to let King Fu become a vassal on time. At the same time, he also wrote several times, talking about Emperor Shenzong's hobby of 'greed for money', even if he was impeached and demoted, he did not change the preface, saying that 'I would rather endure boring questions and ask questions than be a repeated villain'.
However, Li Banghua is right in saying that association is a very important issue.
Zhu Xu thought for a while, raised his head and said to Cao Huachun who was not far away: "The will of the proposed Dao is to show me, to the effect that the Shuntian Mansion will strictly control the stability of the Jingshi, and then order the Wenzhao Pavilion to discuss matters such as civil associations, and resume the performance as soon as possible." ā
"Yes." Cao Huachun replied without moving.
Zhu Xu saw that Li Banghua stopped talking, and turned his eyes to Bi Ziyan, this is the protagonist he wants to see today.
Bi Ziyan has been idle for two years, and he has a deep understanding of the situation in all aspects of the court, raised his hand to look at Zhu Xu and said: "The minister has twelve strategies, please listen to the emperor." ā
Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, and he gestured to a small eunuch not far away.
The little eunuch hurriedly took a pen and made a careful note.
Bi Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The first policy, the minister asks to move the salt tax to make up for the emptiness of the household department." Second, merchants were ordered to send rice and grain to enrich the border towns. Third, it is necessary to eliminate redundant troops and redundant military service. Fourth, check the inflated salaries of the military. Fourth. Reclamation of Jingdong paddy fields. Fifth, the establishment of military cantonments. Sixth, it is necessary to strictly control the embezzlement of taxes and silver by the localities, and start by acre...... Twelfth, check the hidden fields of the world. ā
The more Zhu Xu smiled, he said, "What Bi Qing said is deeply in line with my intentions. To tell you the truth, it is not a day that I want to clear the acres of land in the world, but it is just a cluster of obstacles, and it is difficult to decide, and you came at the right time. ā
Bi Ziyan has been looking at Zhu Xu, listening to his words, and secretly said in his heart, "Sure enough, in recent years, the world has changed one after another, and I am afraid that the emperor is behind it." ā
He stood there and didn't speak, he was summoned to Beijing by Wen Zhaoge, and now that he thinks about it, it should be the emperor who thinks of him.
Zhu Xu pressed his right hand on the desk at hand, patted it, and said, "Master Bi, have you heard about Nan Zhili?" ā
Bi Ziyan turned his thoughts in his heart, his eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand and said: "The minister has heard that the minister thinks that the emperor is too anxious, and this matter has not been discussed by the court, which has caused criticism in the world. ā
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, this Bi Ziyan is really outspoken.
His expression remained unchanged, he got down from the soft collapse, stood in front of the two of them with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm eager, it's not that I can't control the court discussion, but Nan Zhili, we must make a quick decision, once it is delayed, it will be really difficult." ā
Li Banghua's face moved, and he had to agree with Zhu Xu's words.
Since the death of Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty, most of them have been conservative, and whoever changes in vain will be attacked by the masses, and there are countless tragedies in front, even if it is the emperor, he can't do what he wants.
Bi Ziyan confirmed the guess in his heart, so he secretly relaxed in his heart, thought about it, and said: "What the emperor said is very true, but Nan Zhili, no, Jiang/Su, even if King Jing is here, many things may not be straightened out, and it still needs to be visited by people with high moral standing in the court to appease people's hearts." ā
Zhu Xu didn't know, but Zhao Nanxing quit because of the resurgence of the eunuch party. In addition, he also heard the flavor of 'Mao Sui self-recommendation' from Bi Ziyan's words.
He smiled secretly, this Bi Ziyan, he liked it.
Zhu Xu bowed his head, put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth a few steps, and said: "I plan to let you go to Jiang/Su, hang the deputy Zuodu Imperial History, and preside over Qingzhang Jiang/Sutianmu." ā
Bi Ziyan is very capable, a person with a strong spirit of hard work, especially good at financial management, he is well aware of a series of shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, and also has the determination to reform, and raised his hand when he heard the words: "The minister's decree." ā
Zhu Xu looked at him and was stunned, he seemed to have said the word 'intend' just now, right?
However, he liked it more and more.
"Good!"
Zhu Xu laughed loudly: "I will give an order to King Jing, let him cooperate with you, be sure to do it well, Jiang/Su is a mirror, you have to show me clearly!" ā
Mirror?
Bi Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the emperor was going to practice in Jiang/Su first, and then promote it to the entire Ming Dynasty!
"Yes!"
Bi Ziyan's words had a little more flavor of the military order.
This can be regarded as a very happy conversation between the monarch and the minister, right?
Zhu Xu is very happy, and the two of them, or Li Banghua, are basically accompanying guests, and Zhu Xu and Bi Ziyan have always been talking.
Bi Ziyan gave a detailed explanation of his twelve strategies, many of which Zhu Xu had reformed, and many of them had never been involved, which really benefited Zhu Xu a lot.
Zhu Xu's understanding of the current situation of the Ming Dynasty may be deeper than them in many places, but more importantly, Bi Ziyan's understanding of these people is more comprehensive, subtle, and to the point than Zhu Xu.
After talking for more than an hour, Zhu Xu reluctantly sent Bi Ziyan and the others away.
Standing under the eaves, Zhu Xu sighed with emotion: "I am still full of talents. ā
Cao Huachun stood behind him and did not speak.
After a long while, Zhu Xu came back to his senses and said, "By the way, you said earlier that Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses crossed the Daling River?" ā
Cao Huachun bowed slightly, and said solemnly, "Yes, but Jiannu did not approach Yi/Zhou, Guang/Ning thirty miles, and also repaired the book to Mao Wenlong, asking him to 'help' Shen/Yang." ā
The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed and he sneered.
This is afraid that Mao Wenlong, who is close at hand, will break into the empty door, right?
Huang Taiji has suffered a loss, and since he still dares to crusade against Lin Dan Khan with great fanfare, he should also have a backhand.
Now the 'peace' situation with Houjin cannot be broken, Liaodong and Dongjiang are rapidly casting cities and recuperating, and his energy is also being continuously promoted by reforms, especially Jiang/Su dragging, Liaodong can no longer have accidents.
But Huang Taiji openly 'resisted the decree', and if he didn't teach him a lesson, he was too weak, which made Huang Taiji think that he shouldn't have for no reason.
After pondering for a while, Zhu Xu said: "Spread the edict to the Meng/Gu tribes, cooperate with Lin Dan Khan to defend, and then order the ancestor to live and build a city on the other side of the Da/Ling/River, and at the same time check all the contacts related to Jiannu, and cut them off." Order Mao Wenlong again to conduct a military exercise, the scale should be large, but don't really go to Shen/Yang, where should it be a trap. ā
"Yes." Cao Huachun said.
Ying Tianfu, the governor of the yamen.
There have been a few people who have fainted, all of them are members of the third rank or above, and they were once old ministers of the Wanli Dynasty.
As a result, the crowd became more and more surging, and the entire governor's yamen was surrounded.
"Huang Liji came out and gave us an explanation!"
"Acting for the tiger, disrupting the government and harming the people!"
"Restore the old system and return peace to the people!"
In the compound, Huang Liji's mustache was about to be scratched, and he listened to the sound outside with a gloomy face.
Li Kuilong hurriedly walked out of it and said, "My lord, I received news that a group of people went to Xiaoling!" ā
Huang Liji's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Stop them quickly, no matter what method you use, you must stop them!" ā
Xiaoling is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, if there are three long and two short, no one can protect him!
Li Kuilong said with a calm face: "Xia Guan has already sent a message to Dongchang, but there is no way to go on like this!" ā
Huang Liji's expression changed, after all, he didn't have such courage, and hesitated: "Go, go to see King Jing." ā
King Jing is now in Yingtianfu, a few people discussed, then broke out, came to Yingtianfu, as a result, Yingtianfu was also surrounded by a solid knot, or the government soldiers rushed in.
Huang Liji looked sad and helpless, and said to King Jing: "Lord, if you go on like this, you have to find a way." ā
King Jing was leisurely, drinking tea, looking at Huang Liji, Li Kuilong and others, and said with a smile: "Do you know how this king and the emperor played before coming?" ā
Everyone didn't speak, and looked at King Jing seriously. They didn't expect King Jing to do anything, they just wanted him to carry this black cauldron on his back.
"Calming and soothing!"
King Jing stood up and looked outside, but he couldn't see anyone, but the fiery sun told him that Manying Tianfu and Manjiang/Su were all people.
It's all people who need to be suppressed!
Huang Liji, Li Kuilong and others were shocked, the previous promotions, co-optation, and rewards were all appeasement, but now, are they going to use ruthless measures?
Not long after, Dongchang Tiqi, who was just staring at the merchants, suddenly rushed open the door of one official after another, and there was a team of people and horses, stopping in front of the Baoguo Mansion!
Xu Wenjue, the Duke of Wei, came out of the sedan chair and looked up at the tall and majestic, rather 'old' Baoguo Mansion, and was very emotional.
This Baoguo Mansion is not much worse than his Wei State Mansion, it has been passed down for more than ten generations, and today, is it going to end?
Tian Ergeng was dressed in a fish and dragon suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, the scar on his face trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of bloodthirsty staring at the three words 'Baoguo Gong'.
