Chapter 930: The Mamluk of the Great Ming
Tang Yi's shogunate has been operating efficiently, and the three strategists, along with countless people with lofty ideals, are like parts, pushing the machine to run quickly and smoothly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In a few months, the stall left by Xu Jie has been completely cleaned up.
After Zhang Juzheng took over the responsibility of fiscal reform, the situation of the cabinet was completely laid. Among the eight elders, Li Chunfang is nominally in charge of the overall situation, and Tang Yi assists him, but in fact, Tang Yi has the final say, and he determines the direction of the cabinet, while the other six elders are in different positions.
Gao Gong's general personnel, selection, official promotion evaluation, imperial examination school, etc., he is responsible for this piece completely from Yang Bo's hands, snatching meat from the tiger's mouth, the difficulty is absolutely beyond imagination.
Therefore, Tang Yi assigned Chen Yiqin to Gao Gong, these two have a deep friendship, Chen Yiqin is relatively stable, and the two cabinet elders are supported by the cabinet, which is enough to suppress Yang Bo.
Tang Ruji was in charge of the military, the military department, the nine sides, the naval division, etc., all in his hands, responsible for the reform of the military system, the use of foreign troops and so on.
Zhang Juzheng is in charge of the household department, financial reform, this part is the most cumbersome, but also the most difficult. Qingzhang acres of land, merge and levy silver, and even collect all the financial power to the household department, which is to cut meat from others, in the face of strong opposition, it is quite difficult to promote, even if there is a test method, but also to wear armor, personally go into battle to fight, you have to come to a seven in and seven out, blood flow into a river.
Tang Yi asked himself, he was the most reluctant to touch the finances, but he couldn't help it, but ordinary people couldn't do it.
This is why Tang Yi repeatedly tolerated Zhang Juzheng's provocations, he secretly moved his hands and feet, contacted the eunuchs in the palace, and went to find Li Chunfang, Tang Yi saw it in his eyes, and he didn't make a move, just to throw out the hard bones.
Zhang Juzheng is a person with power and strategy, great ambition, and deep calculation, which is far more difficult to deal with than Gao Gong, if he is not given power, Zhang Juzheng must jump up and down, and make small moves constantly, adding chaos to Tang Yi's personnel layout.
From the heart, the Ming Dynasty faced a series of problems, Tang Yi calculated, he was extremely poor all his life, and he could not solve them, and even the old problems were not solved, and new problems emerged.
The idea of directly creating a peaceful and prosperous world once and for all is simply unrealistic and impossible to do.
Throughout all empires, even when they are in full swing, they are all full of faults.
What Tang Yi really wants to do is to regulate the bureaucratic system, strengthen the cabinet, strengthen the civil service system, and put an end to the vicious struggle between the monarchy and the prime minister.
The civil officials have completely become the masters of the country, the so-called king and scholars rule the world together, to put it bluntly, there are more dragons than water, the emperor wants to enjoy, he wants to make a little more, and the eunuchs and royal relatives around him want to grab resources. The scholars and doctors saw that the emperor was fishing for a lot, anyway, the country belongs to the emperor, why don't we live a comfortable life.
As a result, the emperor and the scholar pounced together when they encountered the benefits, and kicked each other with the responsibility.
If these two contradictions are resolved, the scholars will truly establish a sense of responsibility for the rise and fall of the world, no longer shirk responsibility, do not evade problems, do not be timid, do not steal safety, and do not hold on to defects......
With a relatively healthy bureaucracy, even in the face of serious problems, more talented people will emerge to correct the direction of the empire with courage and wisdom.
Tang Yi has full confidence in this, after all, since the Age of Discovery, many Western countries have done it and maintained prosperity for hundreds of years, and there is no reason why the Ming Dynasty is not as good as a group of Yidi.
If the bureaucracy is to be truly strong, the eight words given to him by Mao Kun and Wang Yin are very important.
Inclusive, inclusive.
Even if he knew that Zhang Juzheng had made those small moves, he couldn't just kill a pavilion elder because of his likes and dislikes, wouldn't that be another step on the old path of Xu Jie.
Tang Yi has a better way, a more upright strategy, Zhang Juzheng has a strong heart of "meritorious", he wants to do things, he wants to make meritorious contributions, and leave a name in history.
Don't you want to do it?
I will set up a good stage for you, give you absolute support, and make you happy.
Tang Yi has calculated, Zhang Juzheng will definitely do it, financial reform is the most offending people, but when he does things well, people are also offended, and Tang Yi will protect him at that time, let him go home safely and decently.
I don't believe that you Zhang Ju is a saint, presiding over heavy financial reforms, and still has the energy to cause trouble for me.
Settle the most dangerous guy in the cabinet, leaving one Zhang Siwei, he has shallow qualifications, and he is not an emperor, he is just in charge of the daily work of the cabinet, to put it bluntly, he is everyone's big secretary, after the division of labor is clear, a relatively reasonable cabinet prototype quickly becomes a reality.
Tang Yi is in a very good mood, he got rid of the complicated chores, and he can go home early every day to enjoy the joy of family surrounded by his wife and children.
Ping An is eight or nine years old, the older the little guy gets, the more he looks like Tang Yi, he is very handsome, he has already entered school, except for being naughty, there is almost nothing wrong.
Pingfan is four or five years old, very quiet, about the same as his mother, but he has an idea in his heart, his little eyes are black and bright, and his intelligence is no worse than his brother's.
As for the daughter that Liuying added to him, it is the family's eyeballs, a live baby, a pink little face, with baby fat, which makes people can't help but grab a handful when they see it, it's like a porcelain doll.
Life is so beautiful, it would be better if there was no Jingying trouble!
This day is an ordinary birthday, Tang Yi took a half-day off and went home to see his son.
Before he got home, Feng Bao hurried over.
"Hey, Old Tang Ge, the emperor is in a hurry, you can follow the slave into the palace."
Tang Yi shook his head helplessly, so he had to follow Feng Bao into the palace.
The car was familiar with the road, and when he arrived at the Winter Warm Pavilion, Long Qing was here, pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands constantly, and when he saw Tang Yi coming in, he hurriedly said, "Master Tang, you can be regarded as here." ”
After the monarch and the minister sat down, Long Qing said impatiently: "Master Tang, at the moment, the Beijing camp is making trouble, and the capital is full of chaos, and I am very anxious, so I invite the master to come over and discuss it." ”
Tang Yi observed his words and found that the corners of Long Qing's eyes were drooping, and he kept looking at the ground.
When he was in Yuwang's palace, when he didn't do his homework, it was this expression, but now that he is the emperor, his habits have not changed, obviously Long Qingyan is insincere.
"Your Majesty, it's true that there is some chaos, but it has been dealt with by Gao Ge Lao and Zhang Ge Lao, I believe they can come up with a suitable plan, after all, Jingying has accumulated many shortcomings over the years, and it must be reformed."
Long Qing nodded, "Of course Master Gao and Master Zhang can be trusted, but the capital is in chaos, Master Tang, can you see if the Beijing camp can ......?"
Long Qing's face was red, and he couldn't speak.
"Hehe, Your Majesty is trying to mean it, and then the thunder and rain are small, and it's over, right?"
Long Qing didn't dare to look at Tang Yi, obviously having this in mind.
Tang Yi shook his head secretly, Long Qing is indeed soft-eared, a few days ago he swore that he would investigate to the end and deal with it strictly, he changed his mind so quickly, and eighty percent of them were slanderers!
"Your Majesty, it is your will to rectify the Beijing camp, and it is probably inappropriate to change the order at night. Why did you change your mind? Tang Yi smiled, "Of course, if it is inconvenient for His Majesty to say, the minister will not ask." ”
There is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, of course Longqing trusts his master, he thought for a while, and secretly said sorry to the old man in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Wu Qing came just now." ”
Wu Qingbo?
Concubine Li's father, that mason!
Tang Yi's head turned several times quickly, and he dared to say that Wu Qingbo definitely didn't know anything about Jingying, and eighty percent of them were going to follow the path of Li Guifei to influence Longqing.
It seems that the group of people behind Jingying is indeed not simple, and they have even come up with such a trick.
"Master Tang, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and both Master Gao and Master Zhang suggested that the Beijing camp be abolished, but without the Beijing camp, who will be responsible for the safety of the capital? If you send troops from outside, it will not only cost a lot of money, but also, I, I am worried that it will be inconvenient......"
Tang Yi has a delicate heart, where he can't understand, it's not inconvenient, but unsafe!
Now both the soldiers on the nine sides and the soldiers in the southeast are all controlled by civilian officials, and if tens of thousands of people are transferred into Beijing, it is equivalent to putting a knife on the emperor's neck.
No matter how bad Jingying is, no matter how bad it is, it is also loyal to the emperor and is his own person. Obviously, the people who instigated Wu Qingbo behind him found out the key and wanted to use Longqing's mind to protect his shortcomings and protect the Beijing camp.
Wonderful, wonderful!
After Tang Yi figured it out, he smiled slightly, looked left and right, Longqing understood, and hurriedly asked them to withdraw.
"Your Majesty, there are some things that should not be said by the minister, but I can't help but say it, and the minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty to atone for his sins."
Long Qing hurriedly said: "Master Lao Cheng seeks the country, all for the sake of my country, what is there to say." ”
"Alas, Your Majesty, Grandpa Cheng was able to hit Jinling in four years, changing the heavens and the earth, although Grandpa Cheng's martial arts and martial arts are unparalleled in the world, but Duoyan Sanwei also made great efforts. At that time, Grandpa Cheng borrowed 3,000 elite cavalry from Duoyan Sanwei and became the vanguard of the army, looking at it all the way, and these 3,000 cavalry were the predecessors of the three major battalions. ”
The history of the ancestors, Longqing is very clear, borrowing troops from the Mongols, it is not very glorious, and in the later history books, this point is constantly diluted, including the 3,000 battalions have been renamed the Shenshu battalion.
"Master Tang, what do you mean by mentioning this paragraph?"
"Your Majesty, the people of the Beijing camp guarding the Beijing division must be elite and strong, and they must be absolutely loyal to Your Majesty alone. Since the Tumubao Change, the elite of the Beijing camp was lost, and later Yu Shaobao mobilized the elite from all over the country and reorganized the ten regiments and battalions. Since then, there have been no outsiders in the Beijing camp, and after more than 100 years of living and multiplying, they have become the land-sitting households in the capital. ”
Tang Yi's words changed, "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to suggest, it is better to restore the old system of becoming a grandfather, recruit young people from foreign clans, train them in the ability to fight from an early age, and instill in them that they are only loyal to Your Majesty." They have no relatives and no reason, and when they reach the age of retirement, they can settle down in other places, they can go to the Beijing camp, and they can get a loyal and brave fighting force.
