Opportunity!

Sometimes, people don't know what kind of opportunities they will face, for Ye Shizhi and Li Zhiye, they are just students who were admitted to Daliang Academy two years ago, and their life path should have been to graduate from the academy and then try their best to pass the civil service examination.

Although the Ming Dynasty has abolished the imperial examination, everyone knows that graduating from the academy is equivalent to becoming a "lifter", that is, having the qualifications to be an official. Graduates can pass the civil service examination and enter the officialdom. Except that there is no title such as champion and leader, and you can't boast about the horse parade street, there is no difference from the results of the scientific examination.

Pass the exam and enter officialdom. This has always been the case.

This is the original intention of Ye Shizhi and Li Zhiye and their classmates in Xingduo to be admitted to the academy for the first time, of course, many of them will indulge in practical learning after entering the academy, and then change their original intentions. However, whether it is Ye Shizhi or Li Zhiye, both of them have not changed their original intentions and are concentrating on their careers.

It's just that they don't know that now, the moment they entered the Mountain Chief's office, their fate had changed. When they entered the office, they saw Governor Lu Futai, and next to Lu Futai stood a young man a few years older than them.

He is...... The guy you saw last night? Who is he?

Despite their curiosity, they still spoke first.

"The students have seen Futai."

"No courtesy."

At the time of the ceremony, Lu Liuliang still glanced at His Majesty, although His Majesty was wearing civilian clothes, but he was a minister after all. But His Majesty had already given him advice before, and he really benefited a lot from the night conversation with His Majesty yesterday, so when His Majesty said that he wanted to meet these two students, he naturally would not refuse.

"This is a guest from Beijing, and today the official invited the two of you to come over, and it was at the invitation of this prince that I wanted to talk to the two of you."

Invited by Childe?

Ye Shizhi and Li Zhiye both looked at the boy curiously, and they were even more curious about his identity. Just when the two of them were curious, they only went to Lu Liuliang and asked.

"I heard that yesterday the two of you both had a high argument, saying that it is not appropriate to implement the state and county system in the new lands such as Ping'an and Zhancheng, but is this so?"

Futai's rhetorical question made Ye Shizhi and Li Zhiye both nervous and discussed the government and politics indiscriminately...... Well, it seems that no one in the Ming Dynasty has been punished for discussing the government, and it is legal that the law does not prohibit it.

"This, the student ......"

After hesitating, facing the gaze cast by the governor, Yu Guang looked at the young man who was smiling and silent, and Ye Shizhi, who knew that he could no longer hide, said.

"That's exactly what the students say."

"Oh?"

Raising his eyebrows, he glanced at Ye Shizhi, who was wearing a Confucian robe, and Lu Liuliang said.

"Then tell me why I want to hear from the official?"

"Back to Futai, the students thought that the new places such as Pingnan and Zhancheng and the county system of Xingzhou would not only backfire and not make them belong to the prefectures and counties of my Ming Dynasty, but even ruined my painstaking management."

Lu Liuliang didn't interrupt him, but motioned for him to continue, at least Zhu Mingzhong just sat there with a teacup, looking at the two young people.

Sometimes, young people's conversations always broaden people's horizons.

"Yongle five years, Annan Li usurped power, Chengzu is to raise troops to the south to conquer, to eliminate it, the court begged the descendants of the Chen family, want to establish as the king, Annan officials said that has been Hu Jichen "wiped out, there is no inheritance of Chen Hou", and to the Ming court proposed "Annan country is Jiaozhou, willing to retro counties, and the people are renewed", Yongle six years, Chengzu issued the "Ping'an Southern Edict", at the request of the Annan officials and elders, the local name was changed to "Jiaozhi", direct rule, the establishment of the Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division, all command the envoy department, the punishment according to the probation of the "three divisions", The establishment of prefectures, prefectures, and counties is no different from that of inland provinces. It can be said that my Ming Dynasty received Annan, which can be said to be in line with the will of the people, and it stands to reason that since the people's hearts are in me, the address should always belong to my Ming Dynasty. But why did it return in vain after 20 years, and in the face of the resistance of the Jiaozhi army and civilians, the imperial court had to evacuate Annam? ”

"The loss of Jiaozhi has long been decided, Yan Congjian talked about the loss of Annan once said, I Ming lost Annan, the first is not to let Zhang Fu in Annan guard, when Chengzu took Zhang Fu as the commander, he has four times to quell the rebellion, and build a county. Therefore, the Jiaolu people are most afraid of Zhang Fu. Therefore, later Zhang Fu was transferred back to the center, and Li Li rebelled again. During the Xuande period, Liu Sheng was defeated again, and Xuanzong convened the minister's court to discuss it, intending to give up Jiaolu, and Zhang Fu could not change it. The second is the greed of the officials stationed in Annam, which caused turmoil in Annam; The third is that Shi Chen will only calculate small households, and will not see the long-term benefits of Annan. Of course, Xuanzong was deeply taught by science in Germany since childhood, keeping in mind Emperor Gao's ancestral teachings of the country of non-conquest, and has always had the intention of giving up Jiaozhi, just when the Ming army had just been defeated, it was natural to push the boat down the river. ”

Lu Liuliang replied without hesitation, after talking with His Majesty yesterday, he wanted to go to the library to look through the history books to find information about Annan, but because it was late, he didn't want to disturb, and now he just replied with some memories from when he read books before.

"What Futai said is very true, but, from the point of view of the students, the first and the third are just reluctant, and it is true that the people of Annan are afraid of Zhang Fu, but must the imperial court use Zhang Fuyong to suppress Annan? The so-called Zhang Lili is just a fake word, even when Zhang Fu was in Jiaozhi, there were occasional local officials. As for the third, even if Xuanzong remembered Emperor Gao's ancestral teachings of not conscripting the country, if there were no official troops in Jiaozhi and repeated defeats, how could the imperial court push the boat down the river? ”

Seeing that Ye Shizhi unceremoniously tore up the two fig leafs that Da Ming had evacuated from Jiaozhi, Zhu Mingzhong nodded and praised.

"Indeed it is! It is impossible for Zhang Fu to permanently control Annan, and if there are no repeated defeats, even if Xuanzong intends to withdraw his troops, he will not dare to abandon the new land of his ancestors. ”

"What Gongzi said is very true, although Jiaozhi is a foreign country, but it is also a new territory opened up by the ancestors, who dares to give up easily? If that's the case, that's really unfilial......"

Before Ye Shizhi finished speaking, Lu Liuliang reprimanded sharply.

"Bold! Who is you, who dares to say the following ......"

"Lu Futai's words are serious, in the present and in the past, in the following words, it is just words and things, not words, it is okay."

Zhu Mingzhong smiled and motioned for Ye Shizhi to continue, but was reprimanded by Lu Liuliang like this, and seeing that this prince was an understatement, he asked the governor to stop talking, and he was undoubtedly more curious about his identity. And Li Zhiye, who had been standing aside, noticed the governor's respect, and then contacted the age of this "son", his heart suddenly tightened, could it be...... It's the one.

However, Ye Shizhi didn't notice these details, and was reprimanded by the governor, and when he realized that he had lost his words, he hurriedly returned to the topic.

"When Chengzu first set up Jiaozhi, Huang Fu was the political envoy of Jiaozhi, and he once played the imperial court "'Jiaozhi taxes are heavy, please decide, and be light and provincial'......", so that the people were lenient to have the stability at the beginning of Jiaozhi's annexation. In the ninth year of Yongle, Jiaozhi left to participate in politics Liu Ben, to the imperial court to play the day: "Jiaozhi lives in the corner of the sea, its people are attached at the beginning, do not know the court etiquette, hope to be lenient to soothe it, if suddenly detained, the law will be complicated, there is no radical change." …… If all the things that are not urgent are stopped, they will still give a decree to appease the hearts of the people, and the barbarians will not be thieves. These words are tantamount to saying that our Ming officials are suddenly detaining sinners in Jiaozhi, and they are constantly engaged in labor, eager for quick success, and exploiting the people, which is the fundamental reason for the rebellion of the people in Jiaozhi. Especially after Huang Fu returned to the north, the Jiaozhi people who had been exploited had nowhere to appeal, and the situation of the official forcing the people to rebel was completed, so the rebellion broke out one after another, and the flames were everywhere. ”

"Why is it that the officials in the mainland dare not do this?"

Nodding thoughtfully, Lu Liuhao asked curiously.

"Futai, and Annam, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, were all Chinese territory. Chengzu reverted to Jiaozhi Province and returned his hometown to China. However, because of the remoteness of Jiaozhi Province, the officials in the interior regard Cochin as fearful, and most of its local officials come from the neighboring provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong, and Yunnan, and they are only slightly literate. If there are reckless people who incite them, it will naturally be a rebellion. ”

"According to you, it's all the evil officials who have done me bad? If we blindly treat the people with leniency, how can we make the people of the country fear the law? Let him be willing to obey the people and be educated by China. ”

Lu Liuliang sneered.

"Therefore, it is necessary to give both grace and power, those who obey are educated by our China, and those who are against it are killed, but if the officials force the people to rebel, it will naturally be operated for twenty years, and it will be in vain."

"So, according to what you say, the implementation of prefectures and counties in Zhancheng and Pingnan is just a policy, and there is no reason to implement it?"

When asking this question, Lu Liuliang deliberately glanced at His Majesty, these two places are the territory that His Majesty has laid for the Ming Dynasty.

"It's not nothing, it's inappropriate!"

Ye Shizhi replied directly.

"In those days, officials regarded Jiaozhi as a fearful path, and today's students have heard that officials in the DPRK and China regard Zhancheng and Pingnan as a fearful path, and regard them as taking office in two places, which is no different from exile. When the officials chose people, they often punished incompetent officials in the two places, so that in the long past, when the two places were all bad officials, it was the day when the two places were in rebellion. ”

"So ......"

Lu Liuliang looked at Ye Shizhi, and then said in a deep voice.

"You're the only one who uses partitioning as a solution?"

When mentioning the separation, Lu Liuliang's heart still moved suddenly, after all, he is a supporter of the division, and he is a supporter of the division of the clan to lead the army, on this point, many officials in the DPRK and China have the same position as him, after all, the lesson of the Qing captives and the Kou has made them have to take caution.

It's just that they haven't been able to convince His Majesty all along, but now, Your Majesty, it seems that something has moved.

"Feudal Southwest, why not?"

Meeting Lu Liuliang's gaze, Ye Shizhi replied.

"Instead of letting the imperial court's decades of work be ruined in the hands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is better to tear the soil clan for the princes and let them expand the land and guard the border for the Ming Dynasty!"
