Chapter 137: Ge Jingguo Passes Away

Ancestor worship for the Ming Dynasty is a little embarrassing, the ancestral tomb in the west of Hongze Lake, where Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestors, great-ancestors, grandfather's clothes and mounds are buried, but the current Beijing is too far away from the ancestral tomb, and the emperor is a great expense to go out of Beijing, so whenever the ancestors are worshipped, the emperor will order local officials to repair the ancestral tombs, and send ministers to Hongze Lake to worship ancestors, this time of course is no exception, Zhu Youjian selected Wen Tiren to go to Hongze Lake to worship the ancestors on behalf of the Son of Heaven, which is also a great grace, It can be regarded as Zhu Youzhen's return to Wen Tiren.

In the first month of the first year of Chongzhen, the capital was shrouded in cold, and the heavy snow closed the city, and in desperation, Zhu Youzhen could only issue an order to cancel the four court meetings, and Zhu Youzhen in the palace was not idle at all, and he repeatedly convened all the ministers to discuss the new policy.

The imperial court has rehabilitated Zhang Juzheng, and the implementation of the new policy has become an inevitable thing, and the ministers have long accepted this fact.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen, who was busy with the new policy, did not relax his vigilance against the situation in Liaodong, he made a will, Liaodong is related to the country, and the soldiers who defend the land and security for the country did not celebrate the New Year, but the court wanted to make up for it, and he once again squeezed the household department to take out 100,000 taels of silver, and 200,000 taels of inner treasury, which was used as a reward for the army, added new cotton clothes for the soldiers, and issued a red envelope that was not too big or small, allowing the soldiers to drink alcohol in the army for three days, of course, in order not to let Jiannu have the opportunity to take advantage of it, the order and arrangement of drinking has its own Sun Chengzong's scheduling.

On this day, Zhu Youzhen was reviewing the chapter with the concerto, and Li Guopu braved the heavy snow to come to the Heart Cultivation Hall to ask to see Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen knew that Li Guopu must have something important to report to him, so he immediately let him enter the palace.

After Li Guopu entered the main hall, Zhu Youzhen saw that there was some snow on Li Guopu's official hat, and hurriedly said: "Come and give a seat, and warm up Li Ge with a cup of hot tea." ”

After hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, his own eunuch moved a chair, and another maid went to prepare tea.

Li Guopu couldn't thank him, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, something happened in Fujian." ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart tightened, but his face did not change, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Fujian Governor Ge Jingguo died violently at home three days ago, and this Fujian's recital has entered the cabinet."

"Hey, have you found out why?"

"Governor Ge is already old and has a lot of government affairs, so he should die of illness due to hard work." Li Guopu said.

"Bury Ge Jingguo." Zhu Youzhen said with a sigh.

"Obey the order, but the emperor still has one more matter, and Weichen does not dare to hide it from the emperor." Li Guopu hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"What else?"

"After Zheng Zhilong was reorganized by the imperial court, he helped the imperial court deal with the uncivilized Haikou on the coast, the general army of Fujian, the admiral of the naval division Jia Shi purged the naval division, and the coastal bandits were beaten by the imperial naval division without the power to fight back, but the emperor, although the rebellion of the Haikou was suppressed, but the Fujian naval division has clashed with the Dutch warships more than once on the sea, almost causing a war disaster, but these things were concealed by Ge Jingguo, just because Weichen had a student who was an official in Fujian, and wrote a letter to tell Weichen about these things in Fujian."

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. It is normal for the imperial court to have some conflicts with these barbarians, and to hide it from the imperial court, Ge Jingguo did the right thing, Ge Jingguo is gone, but there are still people in Fujian who want to go next, and your cabinet plans to have a few candidates, let me see. ”

"Wechen obeys."

Although it was the New Year, Li Shuo, the governor of Shaanxi, still did not rest, because the abnormal weather caused many farmlands to be damaged, and in some places there may even be no harvest.

Of course, not only Li Shuo, but also Cao Dezhang's New Year did not have a good time, and he spent almost most of his time in the official mansion.

Li Shuo knew that because of the abnormal weather this time, there would be many uncertainties in the situation in Shaanxi this year, and he needed to be prepared.

While ordering local governments to prepare for disaster relief, he also went to the imperial court to report on the situation in Shaanxi.

This year, Shaanxi is unusually cold, Chang'an City is rarely populated, Cao Dezhang sitting in the carriage is also worried, the situation in Shaanxi has not been very good in recent years, if there is a catastrophe this year, God knows what chaos will happen.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the governor's yamen, Cao Dezhang got out of the carriage, and entered the governor's yamen, the cold wind hit his face, and he only felt pain like a whip.

After entering the lobby, Cao Dezhang saw Li Shuo writing a chapter in front of the desk.

"Lord Futai." Cao Dezhang shouted softly.

After Li Shuo raised his head and saw Cao Dezhang, he hurriedly got up and said, "Lord Cao is here, sit down." ”

Cao Dezhang was not polite to Li Shuo, sat down, and at this time, a servant brought a cup of hot tea, and Cao Dezhang, who felt quite cold, hurriedly took a sip to warm his body.

"It's strange on this day, a friend in Beijing wrote a letter to the official, saying that it has been snowing heavily for more than half a month in Beijing, but we in Shaanxi, since the beginning of winter, have not seen a drop of rain and dew, and the weather is so cold, pity the ordinary people, most of the hard work of half a year has been in vain, God does not bless Daming." Li Shuo saw Cao Dezhang and began to say some frustrating words, of course, saying these words can also show that Li Shuo and Cao Dezhang have a very good relationship, as long as people have their own weaknesses, Li Shuo has been doing everything himself since he became the governor of Shaanxi, the emperor attaches so much importance to him, and also invisibly gives Li Shuo a lot of pressure, he is afraid that he will not be able to govern Shaanxi well, let Zhu Youzhen be disappointed, the omen of the disaster is so obvious, how can there be no complaints.

"Lord Futai don't have to be too worried, before the winter, we have drilled more than 2,000 wells in the province, if it doesn't rain and snow again, we will mobilize soldiers and people to fight the disaster together, even if it is to carry water to save the crops, now what we have to do is to play the imperial court, let the imperial court also make some preparations, and ask the imperial court to allow our government to transfer the military food in the Chang'an Mansion, as long as the people have food, there will be no big trouble." Cao Dezhang was relieved for Li Shuo, of course, Cao Dezhang understood the courage and pressure on Li Shuo's shoulders now.

"Lord Cao, Shaanxi has had many civil uprisings since the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and the year has been bad, if there is another catastrophe this year, what will happen, you and I know very well, even if there is a civil uprising, and even if there is a rebellion, you and I can not retreat, it is the responsibility of you and me to defend the land and the people for the emperor, if these people become traitors, remove thieves for the emperor, you and I are duty-bound." Li Shuo said with a resolute face.

"Hey, what Lord Futai said is, but Lord Futai has ever thought that if there is a civil uprising or even a rebellion in Shaanxi, will the people in the court let you and me go? At that time, I am afraid that you and I will do my best for the country, and it will be an extravagant hope to share the worries of the emperor. Cao Dezhang sighed and said helplessly.
