Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it is the third year of Hongzhi. 、

In the past few years, the rectification of the border army has slowly changed under the breeze and drizzle of Ma Wensheng, although this change is not very big, but to a large extent, it has dealt a blow to the current situation of the border army and local guards eating empty salaries.

The White Lotus Sect in Datong is basically in a dormant state, Jiang Wei has developed a lot of gangs in Datong, these gangs are scattered all over the place, as long as there is wind and grass, Jinyiwei will immediately pour out.

The Jinyiwei in charge of Mu Bin is barely conscientious, and many Jinyiwei who only knew how to oppress and be good in the past have all been eliminated, and some people who relied on nepotism to enter Jinyiwei have also lost their real power.

Some people in the court said that Mu Bin wanted to cover the sky with one hand, and some people said that Mu Bin intended to rebel, but this voice disappeared under the suppression of Emperor Zhu Youzhu and a cadre of nobles led by Zhang Ru, Marquis of Dingbian.

There was a rebellion launched by the White Lotus Sect in Tianjin Port, and the sailors who were still training and the Tianjin Wei Union nippled the rebellion that had not yet really taken shape in the bud.

At Zhang Ru's suggestion, the imperial court increased its support for the private handicraft industry in Tianjin Port and the southeast coastal area, allowing small handicraftsmen to combine. With the support of the imperial court, several businesses were established.

At the same time, in these places where taxes were much lighter, the imperial court also strengthened the management of officials, and agricultural taxes decreased, while commercial taxes continued to increase.

The foreheads of several veteran cabinet officials in the DPRK and China were just right, which would not allow those businessmen to have a wealth that rivaled the country's wealth in just a few years, but also let those people taste the sweetness.

There was harmony between the DPRK and China, and at least during this time, few people stood up to attack Zhang Ru. However, there are a few young civil officials who are quite close to the Dingbian Marquis Mansion, will they help the Dingbian Marquis Mansion to say a few words in the court.

Most of these young people were imperial historians, and other civil officials were not easy to criticize them at all.

The Manchu civil and military forces were almost all waiting for the results of the maritime merchants on the Tianjin and Fuzhou sides, and as long as the results did not satisfy them, they were sure to launch an attack on Zhang Ru.

The way the DPRK and China attack is very simple, and the way of political application is also very simple. It's nothing more than letting the opponent come down and go up on his own. Many civil officials who have seen everything thoroughly even do not hesitate to tout Zhang Ru in the court, intending to kill Zhang Ru.

It's a pity that this little caution didn't make Zhu Youzhu feel good at all, and his trust in Zhang Ru is not comparable to ordinary people at all.

Of course, this is also related to Zhu Youzhang's cultivation during this time, anyway, when Zhang Ru is idle, he will enter the palace with the palace sign to chat and have fun with the emperor. If there is any good suggestion, he did not put it forward himself, but told the emperor through Wang Zhi's mouth, and then told the courtiers with the emperor's forehead.

Even Qiu Jun, a member of the Cabinet University, once said: The wisdom of our emperor is comparable to that of Tang Zong.

Of course, the good thing is that Zhu Youzhu enjoys it, and Zhang Ru naturally has to carry some black pots. For example, among the courtiers, some people said that he bewitched the emperor and abandoned the government.

Many upstart civil officials have emerged in the DPRK, the most dazzling of which is Yang Tinghe. This young man, who had been in Jinyiwei for a period of time in the Zhang Ru era, was later forcibly driven out of Jinyiwei by Zhang Ru, and then studied hard, and after being admitted to Jinshi, he entered Hanlin. Coinciding with the revision of the Records of the Emperor of the Throne, he, as a newly promoted Hanlin, was able to come into contact with Qiu Jun, an established member of the Cabinet University.

Qiu Jun, the old man, is very strange, and sometimes, even Zhang Ru, a real traverser, feels that Qiu Jun, the old man, is more like a traverser than him.

The old man is a native of Qiongzhou Mansion, Yongle 19 years of Jinshi, after the three dynasties of Chengzu, Yingzong and Xianzong, and now it is the year of Hongzhi, which can be described as the elder of the four dynasties.

But within the imperial court, the speed of his official promotion was not ordinarily slow, and it only took one or two decades for others to climb from a small Shuji scholar to the position of a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, but it took him a lifetime.

He was responsible for compiling the "Song and Yuan Dynasty Compendium" and "University Yanyi Supplement" two huge works Zhang Ru had the pleasure of reading, when he first read it, Zhang Ru almost regarded this old man as a time-traveler of the same era.

You must know that his economic ideas are very advanced, and many things are difficult for readers in this era to think of, but this old man has thought of them.

However, no one in the DPRK agreed with what he thought of, and even if he was lucky enough to have a few like-minded people discuss with him, these theories could not be put into practice after all.

It can be said that the appearance of Zhang Ru has given the old man a chance to practice some of his ideas and thoughts, for example, the mutual market legislation he advocated has allowed Zhang Ru to really implement it.

Therefore, when eight or nine out of ten of the 100 Chinese military officials criticized the sea ban, only Qiu Jun remained unmoved.

It was his dream, but it was carried out by the hand of an afterlife, and although he could not stand up to help him openly, at least he would not make a stumbling block shatter his dream.

Since Yang Tinghe entered Hanlin, he has maintained a close relationship with the Dingbian Marquis Mansion, which Qiu Jun saw in his eyes, and never mentioned it or beat it.

The old man is already seventy years old, and he doesn't care so much about many things.

However, by chance, Qiu Jun was impressed by Yang Tinghe.

Qiu Jun was responsible for the writing of Xianzong's record, and he called a few people to help, among them, there was Yang Tinghe.

Originally, Qiu Jun didn't expect Yang Tinghe and the other young people to do anything that satisfied him and let them do things, but he just wanted to train young people for the imperial court.

But three months later, when Yang Tinghe handed over the outline of Xianzong's record to Qiu Jun, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, who had reached the point of being dizzy, was completely shocked.

He held back the shock in his heart, waved his hand quietly to let Yang Tinghe leave, and read the manuscript in its entirety with the Western glasses specially offered by the maritime merchants, and was inexplicably shocked in his heart.

With such a manuscript, he couldn't find the slightest flaw.

It would not be surprising to say that such a manuscript was written by a man who had buried his head in the pile of old papers. But such a manuscript was written by a new Hanlin, and Qiu Jun couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Since that time, Qiu Jun has praised Yang Tinghe, even when chatting with several other elders, he has not hesitated to praise Yang Tinghe.

In Liu Ji's words: If it weren't for Yang Tinghe, who was much younger than Old Man Qiu's daughter, the old man might have to recruit a quick son-in-law.

These jokes naturally reached the ears of Zhang Ru and the emperor, but neither of them cared, they just took it as a joke.

Yang Tinghe's talent, Zhang Ru knows, otherwise he wouldn't have taken Yang Tinghe with him shortly after taking over Jinyiwei. Later, the reason why Yang Tinghe was kicked out of Jinyiwei was not because Yang Tinghe didn't know martial arts, nor because Yang Tinghe was not smart enough, but because the platform of Jinyiwei was too small for Yang Tinghe and people with this wealth.

In the autumn of the third year of Hongzhi, the maple leaves were red half of Nanshan, standing on the Great Wall, it looked like a blood-colored forest, and only two people stood side by side on the huge Great Wall.

One is Zhang Ru, the Marquis of Dingbian, who leans towards the government and the opposition and attacks everywhere; One is the frail and sickly Emperor Zhu Youjiao, who is committed to supporting the Ming Dynasty.

"Great rivers and mountains, it should be like this." Zhu Youzhu said with emotion.

He was dressed a little thickly, but compared to his previous weak body, his body was much better. This is also thanks to several sets of exercise methods that Zhang Ru came up with, and it is precisely because of these exercise methods that Zhu Youzhang's body is better than before.

Zhang Ru touched his chin and said: "Under this magnificent Great Wall, how many white bones are buried, and the maple leaves that are red all over Nanshan, who knows how many sons are dyed with blood." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said: "Wen Xuan, you are a stubborn general, how can you start to learn from those literati in your life." ”

Zhang Ru sighed and looked into the distance with a blurred gaze: "Youjiao, you and I brothers, what are you doing so much for?" What are you and I doing so much?

It's nothing more than the word Taiping.

You are the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is angry and ambushes millions of corpses, I am a puppet, and the puppet is angry and blood is splashed five steps. But the people of the world, how should they live?

They should live their lives as they want, and there will be no more forced prostitution, and there will be no more bullying.

Our purpose is simple, just a prosperous era.

Our purpose is also very difficult, and we need a prosperous age! ”

Zhu Youzhu said with confidence: "Wenxuan doesn't need to worry too much, as long as you and I brothers are still alive, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty will not be far away." I believe that when you and I are old, we can still come to the Great Wall and take a good look at the prosperous Ming Dynasty that no longer has blood. ”

Looking at Zhu Youzhang's young and somewhat pale face, Zhang Ru couldn't help but lose his mind.

Zhu Youzhu raised his hand and shook it in front of him several times before he came back to his senses and said, "Oh, yes, it will." ”

Others don't know the final outcome of Zhu Youjiao, he knows that the emperor founded Hongzhi Zhongxing, but he died of exhaustion before he had time to enjoy it.

He doesn't know if Zhu Youzhu in this era will be as written in the history books of his time, but judging from Zhu Youzhang's physical condition now, the final outcome will most likely be as written in the history books.

It's been three years since Hongji, and the time left for the two of them is not long.

Zhang Ru was silent for a while and changed the topic: "The Jinyi Wei secret agent has sent news that the Mongolian Tatar Ministry of the steppe will send an envoy to meet with him soon, requesting the return of the little prince of the Tatar Department, Batu Mengke. ”

Zhu Youzhu frowned slightly: "How are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

Zhang Ru smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is a big challenge, there has been no large-scale border invasion by Tatars in recent years, most of it is because of Batu Mengke of the Dingbian Marquis Mansion. To be honest, the minister really didn't want to return the people. ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "It's not good if you don't pay it back, if you don't pay it back, it's tantamount to giving them a reason to make a mistake." ”

The breeze was blowing, a little cool, and Zhu Youzhu shivered. After Zhang Ru saw it, he pulled the emperor: "Your Majesty, leave this challenge to the minister!" It's been stopped for so long, and if you don't move it again, some people in Beijing still think that the minister is dead! ”

After speaking, he pulled Zhu Youzhu and walked down.
