After Mu Tianbo returned to the Qianguo Mansion last time, he had renovated the Qianguo Mansion, but Nong Yingzu didn't have the heart to look at this at all, and took out his voucher to register and came to the Chengtian Palace.

Although the Mu family is not a prince, but because of the town guarding the border, its residence is often the same as the prince, this Chengtian Hall is very large, enough to accommodate more than 200 people to discuss here, so it can be seen that the prosperity of the Mu Wangfu in the past.

To Nong Yingzu's surprise, there were already more than 40 people in the Chengtian Palace, and everyone did not gather together to chat as usual, but sat next to two columns of 4 desks.

This master led Nong Yingzu to the fourth place on the right and sat down, which made Nong Yingzu quite annoyed, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, my Guangnan Mansion Nong's family is one of the three major toasts in the south (sir, why do you let me sit down in the fourth place on the right?"

The master pointed to the sign on the table and said, "Nong Tuguan, look at it, there is a sign on it, where is that one sitting." ”

Nong Yingzu looked at it fixedly, and it said Nong Yingzu, the local official of Guangnan Prefecture, although the seat was lower than in the past, and he had no choice but to bend over and sit over.

Sitting next to the desk, I looked at the two Yi toasts on the left and right, who were just relatively unfamiliar, and they were about a person apart, so they couldn't talk loudly from ear to ear.

Seeing this, Nong Yingzu's heart went up and down, and then looked at a few toasts next to him As time went by, watching other toasts continue to come, Nong Yingzu's heart was up and down, and he couldn't agree with it.

At noon, the porter shouted, "Penghou is here, everyone kneels to greet him." ”

Hearing this, everyone knelt down one after another, and Yang Xuan took Yin Chengqi, Zhan Tianyan, Qian Bangqi, Lei Yuelong, Wu Zhaoyuan, Fan Wenguang and a cadre of staff to the top of the main hall and said, "Everyone sit, everyone sit, let everyone wait for a long time." ”

After everyone sat down, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Everyone, Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou rebelled one after another, and the Liukou soldiers entered Central Yunnan, and my Ming army invaded Central Yunnan, and Li Gande, Yuan Tao, and Wu Dading assassinated Yang Zhan's general soldiers.

In desperation, our volunteers had to kill thousands of miles to Yunnan after the defeat of the Tartars in Hanzhong to quell the rebellion in central Yunnan.

Now Sun Kewang is expected to flee with the Duke of Yunnan, Li Gande, Yuan Tao and others fled to Mengzi to join Sha Dingzhou and others.

Ladies and gentlemen, the speaker is not guilty, and you can say whatever you want. ”

Nong Yingzu got up from his seat and said, "Master Hou, the little Guangnan prefect Nong Yingzu has seen Grandpa Guo.

When I heard that Grandpa Guo came to Yunnan, I was not very afraid, and I specially put this ancestral Buddha bead in Grandpa Guo, and I hope that Grandpa Guo will smile. ”

Yang Xuan smiled, waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite to Nong Toast, Nong Toast, as soon as you came up, you gave such a precious thing to Lone, do you think that Lone loves to play with beads, or did you do something wrong, and you came to ask for sin?" ”

Wu Zhaoyuan next to him said with a smile: "Everyone, our Hou Ye is from a noble background, and he is a guest of honor in the Shu Palace, so of course he is fair and strict in handling things." ”

Nong Yingzu knelt in the hall: "Master Hou, the little one is guilty, when the volunteers crusaded against the Tusi of the day, we mistakenly thought that it was the Liukou who came here, and once led the troops to help, and later heard that it was the volunteers who led the troops to retreat." ”

Wang Xiang angrily reprimanded: "Nong Yingzu, you are really quibbling, you believe that you have 3,000 local soldiers, and when my volunteers actually attacked the pinching toast after the killing, they actually sent troops to fight against the army, and saw that my volunteers did not retreat after breaking through the pinching toast for two days, Nong Yingzu, you, tell me about this?" ”

Nong Yingzu wiped away the beads of sweat on his face and said: "Master Hou, it's a small unintentional mistake, no matter what, I want Grandpa Guo to forgive."

Wu Zhaoyuan next to him came out and said: "Master Hou, this Guangnan prefect Nong Yingzu harbors evil intentions, which is really hateful, and we suggest that he be demoted to Anningzhou Tongzhi."

Nong Yingzu was shocked: "Master Hou, this, this punishment is too heavy." On that day, my ancestors rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, but it was reduced to a general judgment, and this decline was known to Anning Zhou, which was too heavy. ”

Yang Xuan stood up and said with a smile: "Nong Tusi, you said in the public court that your ancestors rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, do you think that today I have internal and external troubles in the Ming Dynasty, and you also want to learn from your ancestors to rebel against the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Nong Yingzu wiped the beads of sweat off his face again and again and said: "Master Hou, the little one doesn't choose what to say, and I still look at Lord Hou Haihan, Master Hou, this punishment is too heavy."

Yang Xuan shook his head and said: "Whether the punishment is heavy or not, it's not that you said the count, but that you said the count."

Ladies and gentlemen, the establishment of the Tusi system by the imperial court is to hope that you will become a barrier for the imperial court, appease the people internally, and defend against external enemies externally.

Look at your Nong Yingzu, when Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou rebelled, you were not like Lu Yongming Lu Tusi for the court and shared the worries of the grandfather of the Dian Kingdom, and since Sun Kewang entered Yunnan, you have not been able to resist.

This time it's good, Lone led a large army into Yunnan, and after you actually led a conspiracy to attack our army, tell me, how is this different from rebellion? ”

Hearing Yang Xuan's loud reprimand, Nong Yingzu was so shocked that he wiped the beads of sweat from his face again and again, and kowtowed again and again in fright: "Master Hou, the little one is guilty."

Yang Xuan sat down, pondered, and said: "Everyone, since the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family of the Qianguo Gong Mu family has governed Yun (Nan for more than 270 years), and they have always been generous to everyone, and to a certain extent, generosity is to treat everyone Tusi completely by personal likes and dislikes, which is a very bad situation."

The main purpose of this "Tusi Law" was to reward those who were loyal to the court and diligent in the king's affairs, and to punish those who committed adultery and conspired to rebel.

Everyone has seen this Tusi law, Lu Yongming was able to be loyal to the imperial court when Wu Bikui and Shadingzhou rebelled, and now he is specially granted the position of Zhizhou.

This Nong Yingzu harbored evil intentions, and openly mentioned that his ancestors rebelled against the imperial court in the lobby, and he was specially sentenced to Anningzhou.

Everyone, are you not satisfied with this treatment? ”

Everyone was frightened, and they couldn't imagine that the cloud of Xu Xuan Kung Fu (Guangnan Nong, one of the three major toasts in the south, was demoted from the prefect to the general judgment of Anningzhou, which can be said to have even been downgraded by several levels, so shocked that everyone did not dare to come out.

On the other hand, Lu Yongming was still promoted to the governor of Ningzhou after all, and it seems that the land change and return that everyone is most worried about will not happen.

After seeing Nong Yingzu stumble back to his seat, Yang Xuan continued: "Everyone, the Mu clan governs Yun (south, there is no order, and the private favor is in Yunnan, but there is no reward for those who have merit, and there is no punishment for those who have transgressed, and it has only been a long time before it has caused the rebellion of Wu Bikui and Shadingzhou.

Lone entered Yunnan this time, and specially formulated the "Tusi Law", and now we are asking for everyone's opinions, and everyone will see if there is anything wrong."

Lu Yongming, who had just been promoted to Zhizhou, of course supported it unreservedly, and Mu Yi, one of the three major toasts in the south, got up and said: "Master Hou, this is a good deed, after having this "Tusi Law", we can also know how to restrain our behavior, so as not to cause trouble."

When Yang Xuan heard this, he laughed, and immediately ordered a feast to be placed, and after eating, let everyone bathe and change clothes and fast for seven days, and then swore an oath with everyone on Jiuhua Mountain.

After watching the toasts leave, Wu Zhaoyuan looked quite puzzled and said: "My lord, do you want to rely on this "Tusi Law" to restrain these toasts and achieve the effect of changing the land and returning to the stream?" ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and said to the officials next to him: "Everyone, many people may think that this "Tusi Law" is not a big deal, but if it is really implemented, there will be many problems.

Iron striking also has its own waist hard, the kind of person who says that half of the Analects can govern the world is simply an ignorant and fearless.

We are now going to develop our forces in central Yunnan, and all the more than 20,000 captives we have laid off and merged will be scattered to various important places for cultivation, so as to increase the strength of our Han people.

Yun (South is not a large amount of silver, you can encourage everyone to mine, the mined silver according to the seven taxes and one levy, the income over the standard of fifteen taxes and one income.

Ladies and gentlemen, the army entered Yunnan this time, and this cloud (the south is not full of miasma, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the four seasons are like spring. ”

Yang Youren, the prefect of Wumeng, arched his hand to everyone and said: "Everyone, the Hou Ye has made great contributions, and the imperial court should be the real Hou Ye, we ask the court to be the real Hou Ye, what do you say?" ”

When Yang Xuan heard this, he said again and again that he should not harm himself.

Yin Chengqi, the commander of the envoy, shook his head and said, "Master Hou, don't shirk." This cloud (the south is a barbarian land, the people's hearts are not attached, in the past, the Duke of Qianguo relied on the momentum of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the different Tusi, and civil rebellions occurred from time to time.

Now Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou have launched rebellions one after another, and Sun Kewang has also led the army into central Yunnan, and the decline of the Ming Dynasty has long been known.

Now the Volunteer Army garrison Yun (South, can also stabilize the situation, if the Volunteer Army leaves, this Yunnan is afraid of falling into civil strife again.

When those toasts see that there is no owner in Yunnan, they will inevitably regenerate branches, which is not good.

Hou Ye is Penghou, and now Hou Ye should open a mansion to govern affairs."

Yang Xuan was forced to be helpless, so he only looked at Qian Bangxin, the commander of the Volunteer Army, Wu Yanghu, Wang Xiang, senior senators, Zhan Tianyan, the political envoy of Yunnan, Lei Yuelong, the former governor of Yun (Southern Governor Wu Zhaoyuan and others, thinking that these people were Ming officials, just listen to their opinions.

Qian Bangqi sighed and said: "Lord Hou, since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, except for the open mansion of the Guizhou Kingdom, most of the princes of other countries have honorary titles in name only?"

Hou Ye, if today's ten Tartars account for eight points, and in this central Yunnan Qianguo Gong was captured by Sun Kewang life and death is uncertain, Hou Ye opened the mansion at this time to rule the world, for fear of provoking others. ”

Yang Xuan was furious in his heart, but he didn't want to show it in particular, just two haha, on the grounds that the volunteers entered Yunnan to pacify the rebellion in Dingding and Shadingzhou, he played to the imperial court:

Yuanmou Tusi Wu Bikui and Mengzi Tusi Shadingzhou rebelled one after another, and implored the imperial court to depose their hereditary Tusi positions and change their titles

Yin Chengqi hereditary Yuanmou County magistrate.

Yang Jingxin hereditary Mengzi County magistrate.

It is also in line with the righteousness of everyone to think about it, and there is nothing to oppose?

These Tusi ancestors were either local Tusi leaders, or Han generals who had made meritorious contributions.

In addition, the level of cultural knowledge in ethnic minority areas is backward, and many Tusi have appointed Han people as Busu to take care of various affairs.

Rebel? The system of guards has already been established in various places, and there are a large number of Han military households living in it, and when the time comes, 500 old and weak people can be drawn from the battalion, and confidant generals can be appointed to stay behind, and if the natives launch a rebellion, they can be suppressed nearby.

Now in the name of Yang Jingxin and Counselor Yin Chengqi's meritorious appointment, this is also in line with common sense, and there is no reason for everyone to oppose it.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that it was wonderful, and some lamented that their heads had not turned.

In particular, Qian Bangqian insisted that Yang Xuan also become a Han Si, and specifically told two allusions for this purpose, one is that Wang Jian attacked the state of Chu, and in order to appease the heart of the king of Qin, he sent people to all the fields every day.

In order to appease Liu Bang's heart, Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty did not hesitate to discredit himself and accept bribes.

Now that the fight against the barbarian Qing has entered a critical moment, Yang Xuan must think about his future generations no matter what, so that the court can rest assured, and the officials under the account can rest assured.

Especially many toasts are even more so, some people have been humiliated by Han officials, if the governor who has been in power also becomes the leader of the toast, he also feels honored.

Everyone knelt down and pleaded, and there was a posture of not giving up until the goal was reached.

Yang Xuan didn't think so, but since everyone said so, it was not easy to excuse himself.

Looking at the map for a long time, Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll also make a toast."

Isn't there a lake in southern Sichuan? I asked the imperial court for the hereditary prefect of Mahu, so it would always be okay.

However, although I asked for this land from the imperial court, I will leave 3% of the annual tax or something, and 7% will be used for local construction, and 7% for the compensation of the volunteer soldiers. ”

Hearing Yang Xuan say this, everyone was quite reluctant, Wu Zhaoyuan said: "Penghou, although there are four divisions in this Mahu Mansion (in Yibin today, including Pingshan County, Nixi Chief's Lawsuit, Pingyi Chief's Lawsuit, Barbarian Chief's Lawsuit, and Muchuan's Chief's Lawsuit), the harvest is limited, you still have to take out such a property to compensate the soldiers, so what do the soldiers think?" ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone, since I have discredited myself, don't say anything more." You want me to discredit myself now, and I will want you to discredit myself in the future. ”

When they heard this, they burst into laughter.

If in the past, everyone may still have resisted the reputation of toast, but now they see that toast is like a soil emperor, and many people are quite jealous.
