What Ye Xun didn't expect was that Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan were all against the reward, and their attitudes were very resolute, and the reasons for their opposition were also very strange.

Hearing this reason, Ye Xun was angry, he led his subordinates to level the Jurchens, set Mongolia, and town Qinghai-Tibet, which is not considered to expand the territory?

Let's talk about the two in front of you! Although they did not follow the charge, but the same contribution is indispensable, it is because of their silent efforts that Ye Xun can fight in front without distraction, and the Ming Dynasty has today's stability and prosperity, isn't this worth a reward?

Seeing that Ye Xun's face was not good-looking, Yuan Yingtai smiled bitterly: "Father-in-law! I know that you are a good heart, the reward order is good, but the father-in-law or the queen mother, will also become the target of the public, count carefully, since Yongle, there are few knights in the dynasty, unless it is Ye Gonggong, even if you add the title of the prince, no one will say anything, others, forget it! ”

Zhang Quan echoed on the side: "Yes, father-in-law, father-in-law's mind, I will wait for my heart, and add more money to those soldiers at the border, as for the knighthood, forget it!" ”

What Ye Xun decided would not change easily, let alone what had already been said.

Originally, I thought that I was going to go out, and I told them about the affairs of the court again, but now that I was interrupted by this matter, I almost forgot what I wanted to say before.

took a deep breath and said: "The two of you also came all the way from Liaodong with me, and the hardships are difficult, even if I don't say it, others don't know, the two of you should know it!" Shouldn't the soldiers throw their heads and spill their blood and receive some rewards? ”

"The two of you should know that Ye is a person, even if he is pointed out by thousands of people, as long as it is beneficial to the people and the country, I will not hesitate to do it"

As Ye Xun said, these two people are well aware of Ye Xun's personality, and the reason why they advised Ye Xun is completely out of a heart of love for Ye Xun.

But at this moment, Ye Xun's attitude also deeply shocked them, including them, among those high-ranking officials, who really took the soldiers in front seriously? Not to mention the small people who are in the people.

After a moment of silence, the two bowed down together and bowed to Ye Xun deeply, and said, "I am willing to obey my father-in-law's orders, and I will swear to follow my father-in-law to the death."

The topic was a little heavy, Ye Xun hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "It's far away, go back and count the meritorious soldiers, you still have to handle the specific things, my attitude is that you must be rewarded, okay, let's talk about the next thing"

"I also have to go to Jiangnan, the cabinet is released in advance, according to my private understanding, Chen Shancai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Wenguang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, these two people have good official reputations on weekdays, and the affairs of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites will be handled by them for the time being, and major matters will be decided by you and Lord Fang."

It wasn't until today that Ye Xun took a stance on this matter, strictly speaking, Ye Xun's decision, whether it was for the two of them or Fang Zhenru, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, after all, no one wants to share power with others.

After the two nodded in agreement, they listened to Ye Xun continue: "The construction of the Jiangnan Arsenal and the Chengdu Arsenal must be stepped up, and the investment in the Qinghai-Tibet region must be increased."

Since Ye Xun left the Tibetan area a few years ago, troops and officials have begun to be stationed one after another, but the conditions in the Tibetan area are too difficult, and it is impossible to change it at once, so we can only increase the intensity of investment little by little.

In addition, Tibetan areas are not only in and out of the country, Tibetan furs, medicinal herbs, horses and other materials are also very popular in the Central Plains, this complementary economy, undoubtedly also greatly reduced the burden of the imperial court.

In addition, after the lifting of the sea ban, the income of the imperial court has increased exponentially, so no matter what you do, you are very confident.

Write down Ye Xun's instructions one by one, and then the two of them said goodbye and left.

As if it had been calculated, as soon as the two left, Fang Zhenru asked to see him.

What the old party is doing, you don't need to ask, you know, it's okay, you don't have to tell yourself one by one.

Let Fang Zhenru in, please sit down for tea, and before Ye Xun could ask, Lao Fang took the initiative to explain his intentions.

"Father-in-law, this spring's big exam is coming, recruiting talents for the country, I don't know what my father-in-law has to explain?"

Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, why did he still find me for this?

According to the practice of previous years, the entrance examination was generally jointly organized by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Guozijian, the Hanlin Academy and other departments.

As soon as I thought about it, I understood that the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, the officials of the two ministries took the initiative to resign, and the old party wanted to test his attitude through this matter!

Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan have not met Fang Zhenru yet, so Lao Fang will ask this question, and it is estimated that there are many people who come to him during this time.

However, this incident also reminded Ye Xun, is it time to hold a martial arts exam?

After mentioning the two candidates who just said to Yuan Yingtai and them, he said: "Speaking of views, this prince hopes to select more loyal and upright people from this big examination, enrich them into the inspectorate, and then personally supervise by Lord Fang, so that these new imperial histories can go to various places to experience, and make detailed records of the customs and customs of my Ming Dynasty in the experience, find problems from them, and propose solutions to solve them, and then report to the imperial court, and the promotion of officials in the future will also be used as an important reference. Does Master Fang think this is feasible? ”

Ye Xun said this, of course, not because there was a problem with the Inspectorate, on the contrary, Fang Zhenru was upright and had strict requirements for his subordinates.

Ye Xun came from later generations and knew the importance of discipline inspection and supervision, although it was impossible to be completely transparent in this era, but it would definitely be beneficial to the clarity of the officials to send some years of vigorous and energetic imperial history inspectors.

Seeing that Ye Xun attached so much importance to the Inspectorate, Fang Zhenru couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and gave Ye Xun a deep salute, saying: "My father-in-law has a heart, and the old man will definitely live up to his expectations."

"Your Majesty is young, the Queen Mother is not very old, and she needs more support from an old minister like you, my father believes that Lord Fang is not the kind of person who forms a party for personal gain, so he will say these words to the old man, my lord, please!"

Saying that, Ye Xun actually bowed down and gave Fang Zhenru a salute.

People are respected, and the old party really doesn't have so much selfishness, and being able to be respected like the first person in the dynasty suddenly made the old party also have the idea of dying as a confidant.

After giving Ye Xun a deep salute again, he turned around and left, but this time he didn't say a word.

Looking at Fang Zhenru's back, Ye Xun couldn't help but smile with relief, with these three carriages in the imperial court, he could finally travel with peace of mind.

After arranging the affairs of the court, Ye Xun ordered someone to find Watanabe, Tokugawa Hidetada's envoy.

This guy is greedy for the prosperity of the Central Plains, and he has not returned to Japan under the pretext of facilitating contact with Ye Xun.

This time, Ye Xun went to Jiangnan not only to deal with Ono entrenched in the Ryukyus, but now there is another Xingming Chamber of Commerce.

Now that you've decided to travel, it's time for Watanabe to say hello to Tokugawa Hidetada in advance...
