Chapter 592: The Path of Legends
Chapter 592: The Path of Legends
In Guozijian, although Yang Reform spoke directly to the Confucian family, he never got any commitment from the Confucian family, all of which were nonsense, without a word of substance.
Yang Reform is very depressed, but it is not all without gain, at least I know that the Confucian family does care about this new interpretation of Confucianism, but now they are still pretending and still holding it off.
Coming out of Guozijian, although there are still mountains on both sides of the street, it still can't shake the depression in Yang Reform's heart. Do you take the Kong family too seriously? Do you believe too much in the determination of these rotten ruling classes to reform themselves? Should I sweep them into the garbage? Instead of treating them as guests?
After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Yang Gai sat in the core of the world, and gradually beat the depression away in his heart. What should I do, I still have to do what I have to do. As for the affairs of the Kong family, it can only come to an end for the time being, but the way to cooperate with the Kong family cannot be blocked.
Yang made up his mind and began to ponder his original path.
The class teacher is imminent, the prisoner is also imminent, this great victory, for himself, but it is a good opportunity to never be, but can help himself to do a lot of things, the best thing, is nothing more than retirement and transfer, although Yang Reform has always wanted to arrange the retirement and transfer of officers and non-commissioned officers, but to be honest, there has been no chance, this matter is more difficult, in the case of the dominance of the Confucian Wenchen, to take out a piece of ròu from the mouth of the Confucian Wenchen to the general, this is undoubtedly difficult, Yang Gengai was ready to tell this several times, but he always felt that he had no chance of winning, so he kept dragging it out.
Originally, Yang Reform wanted to do this last year, and at that time there was also a victory in Zhenjiang Fort played by Máo Wenlong, but this big victory, Yang Reform always felt that the grade was a little lower, and he used this Zhenjiang Fort victory to promote retirement and professionalism, in general, it was a bit far-fetched, and Máo Wenlong and Wenchen really didn't deal with each other, and it was more difficult to use Zhenjiang Fort to promote retirement and professionalism, and Yang Reform could only wait for the opportunity.
When it came to Yuan Chonghuan's victory in Songshan Fort, Yang Reform felt that the opportunity had come, this Yuan Chonghuan himself was born as a Jinshi, a civil official, and achieved such a great victory, slashing 8,000 in battle, which was quite a great victory.
Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong directly gave himself a greater victory in the Sancha River, breaking through the Tartar camp at a very low price, and killing 20,000, Yang Reform felt that this victory to promote the professionalism and retirement of officers and non-commissioned officers was perfect, under such a great victory, at the time of offering prisoners and rewards, arrange a person to cry for death, cry comrades, cry veterans, make a fuss about the atmosphere, and then bī a bī civil official statement, this matter is done, Yang Reform believes that in that scene, even if someone wants to object, scolded my mother in my heart, and I didn't dare to say a word directly if I was afraid. If the opposition is too loud and someone has the idea of delaying, then he is arranging for people to sing some sad military songs, perform some war dramas, and interview some wounded soldiers in the newspaper about their miserable lives after retiring, I believe that under such strong pressure of public opinion, this matter will definitely be done for him.
Once this thing is done, Yang Reform believes that his prestige in the army will reach an unparalleled height, and the world's soldiers will return to their hearts, it is not an empty word, even if the text is not good, there is a mistake, there is also this gun to guarantee the bottom, the result of the reform may not be so perfect, but it can also ensure that the Ming Dynasty will go according to its own ideas.
Thinking of this, Yang Reform's mood came up again, and the depressed mood of being made by the Kong family can be regarded as recovering.
Flipping through the notebook, Yang Gengai frowned again.
"This Liu Yanyuan! ......," Yang sighed. Yang has been thinking about the past few days. In the past few days, there will be quite a lot of things, these things, it can be said, will directly change a lot of things, Yang Reform is extra careful, calculated and calculated, arranged and arranged, I hope there will be no problems. However, their opponents are not idle, they are looking for their own trouble, judging by the twists and turns presented, Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the military department, is their target this time.
Originally, Liu Yanyuan's unclean things under his hands, Yang Reform had already heard of it, but this guy took refuge in his own early, and at that time he needed someone to help him, although he said that his hands were not very clean, but he could be regarded as reluctantly accepting, and he also hinted at this guy a few times, this guy has also reined in, and the means of making money have also changed, however, it is impossible to wipe all the things that are done in just one year, and some things have been done, and there will always be traces. ,
In his own team, he was listed as a target, Yang Reform didn't think it was unusual, he had suppressed some of the impeachment scripts before, but this time, Yang Reform felt that the problem might be a bit big, Han Yi This guy also mentioned this guy in the transcript, Yang Reform vaguely knew that this time I was afraid that it would not be so easy to pass, and the contradictions with the civil officials had eased by relying on decentralization before, and they also left some face and did not tear their faces, but this time it is obviously different, there is a big battle, this guy is afraid it will be difficult to cross the river.
Yang Reform is not afraid that Liu Yanyuan will be brought down, but he is afraid that he will spoil his own affairs at this critical juncture, and promote retirement and professionalism, which is undoubtedly quite important to himself, and ten Liu Yanyuan can't withstand this, Yang Reform has to face this matter carefully. There was no one to discuss in the capital, so Yang Reform could only sigh.
"Big companion, go and summon Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War." Yang Gai thought about it, but still said.
"The slave obeys." Wang Chengen agreed and went out to deliver the message.
Yang Gengai sat there thinking about it, he still had to communicate this matter with Liu Yanyuan, so that he could be prepared, and he could not be impeached too badly, otherwise, not to mention his face, it would be a big blow to his prestige, and it would affect the matter of changing jobs and retiring, which was really a big problem. Such a great opportunity, Yang Reform didn't want to waste it in vain.
Liu Yanyuan's recent days have been quite refreshing, the Ming Dynasty has been winning battles recently, one is bigger than the other, he is the secretary of the military department, he naturally has to be polished, and the credit is indispensable to him, if you add the silver earned by the emperor, it will be even more refreshing. happily entered the Qianqing Palace.
Warm Pavilion.
"Bow to your majesty!" Liu Yanyuan kowtowed respectfully.
"Get up!" Yang Reform said, a little dull.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yanyuan hurriedly got up, and saw that the emperor's face was not very good, and his expression, which had always been beautiful, was gone, and his brows were tightly locked.
"How are you preparing for the fifth day of junior high school?" Yang Reform asked, this matter refers to the matter of sacrificing prisoners, and it also refers to the matter of retirement, Yang Reform has been talking about retirement for a long time, which is not a secret.
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready." Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the military department, thought about it and said.
"It can't be a problem, right?" Yang Gengai asked again, in an unhappy mood.
"Go back to Your Majesty, I guarantee that there is no problem, I want to exchange all the merits for the officers and soldiers and the soldiers to retire under such a great victory, it should be no problem, if Your Majesty thinks there is a problem, you can let some injured and disabled officers and soldiers try it first, and no one will embarrass these heroes of my Ming Dynasty." Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the military department, said.
"No problem is the best! ......" Yang Gai said depressedly, at this juncture, those opposition are considered to be in a powerful place, and the matter of retirement is related to the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War is his own person, but this guy is not angry, and now he is selected by the opposition as a target to fight, it doesn't matter if he hits, but it will ruin his own business.
"Your Majesty, I think that from now on, Your Majesty's prestige will be incomparable, and the soldiers will all feel Your Majesty's kindness, and the morale and strength of the army will surely rise greatly, and I will exterminate the Eastern Prisoners in the Ming Dynasty, and it is just around the corner." Liu Yanyuan saw that the emperor was sullen and unhappy, and his face was not good, so he said something sycophant.
"......" Yang Reform doesn't know what to say, this retirement, Yang Reform hopes to open a gap, create a precedent, or rather, transform this credit into a system, miss this opportunity, and then do this, but it will be difficult, but, alas, Yang Reform sighed in his heart Unlucky.
"Liu Qingjia, I have heard a lot of rumors recently, and someone wants to impeach you." Yang Reform thought about it for a long time, but still said that it has always been Yang Reform's style to spread things out, and this time, Yang Reform didn't want to be an exception, and he didn't want to beat Liu Yanyuan in the drum.
"Your Majesty, this ......" Liu Yanyuan didn't know what to say, someone impeached him, and he also knew that the emperor had already warned him a few times, and he had already helped him block it a few times, could it be that the emperor had warned himself again?
"This time, the estimate is different from the past." Yang Gai sighed and said, this is a big trouble at this juncture.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is all someone framed and framed the minister, and the minister is wronged! Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the master of the ministers! Liu Yanyuan shouted injustice immediately.
Yang Gengai looked at Liu Yanyuan shouting grievances, and felt very unhappy, this guy took refuge when his power was relatively weak at that time, and there was not much room for choice, if he didn't protect him today, it would be a big blow to his prestige and reputation. After this guy took refuge in the party, he was still very attentive when he was in the imperial party, and he helped him do a lot of things, but he didn't expect that there was still a problem, or at this juncture, Yang Reform regretted a little, he shouldn't have let him enter the imperial party easily, and now he regrets it. ,
"Your Majesty, the minister is really wronged, since following Your Majesty, the minister has never done those things before, the minister knows that His Majesty does not have sand in his eyes, the minister has changed, Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" Liu Yanyuan looked at the emperor's face sè is not good, it is estimated that this time the matter is relatively big, it is estimated that there is a problem, and he will cry for help loudly at the moment, he is a good soldier in the army, the credit will automatically be in hand, the silver will also be automatically in hand, the life is very cool, but unfortunately, the preference for life is not long-term, someone wants to engage him, Liu Yanyuan regretted it, if he had met the emperor earlier, he would not have done those dirty things, but now, it has become a stain that can never be washed away, and he can only beg for mercy by others, bluntly saying that he has never done anything bad since he became the emperor's party, and hopes that the emperor will save him.
"......Huh, what the Qing family said, I know it, I will try my best to protect you, but this time the situation will probably be different from the past, not just a few impeachment scripts, there may be more means to use it, I believe that the Qing family is innocent after becoming the imperial party, but before this, alas, ......" Yang Reform said.
"Your Majesty......" Liu Yanyuan became depressed, some people just can't see that they are living well, this good life is only a few days away, so they handed a knife to themselves, this is over, his good days are over, he still wants to follow the emperor hún to leave a name in history, now it seems that it is blown, those damn it, a thousand knives.
“…… This time, I will try my best to protect you, but if those people come up with solid evidence, it is difficult for me to say that I will be able to keep it, and the Qing family must be mentally prepared......" Yang Reform said, looking at Liu Yanyuan with a depressed face, Yang Reform was also a little depressed, he underestimated those people, and this hand can be regarded as his own army.
"The minister understands, Your Majesty Xie Longen ......" Seeing the emperor's face, Liu Yanyuan's face directly became bitter, and then he heard the emperor say that he might not be able to keep it, and his mood became completely depressed, it seems that he is really finished this time.
Yang Reform was anxious to think of a way, this matter was probably inevitable, so he had to consider the consequences, Liu Yanyuan's military department book can't be done, so who will do it? You still have to find someone you are familiar with and listen to your own words, but this person must not be too incompetent, at least he must have a certain reputation in history......
To your own taste, you have to meet the taste of those sub-oppositionists...... trouble, trouble, trouble!
After half a ring, Yang Gai woke up from his thoughts, and saw Liu Yanyuan standing on the side in frustration, and had to think about this guy, this guy's hands and feet are indeed not clean, and he has done a lot of bad things outside, but as one of the first emperors to take refuge in him, he can't help but "cover" him, at least not make him too ugly.
"Liu Qing's family!" Yang Reform is no longer a novice, after thinking for a while, he already has an idea, and asked Liu Yanyuan.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is here." Liu Yanyuan hunched his back and replied in frustration.
"This time, I may not be able to keep you......" Yang said.
Liu Yanyuan was very frustrated.
“…… You may want to be prepared to step down. Yang continued.
Liu Yanyuan was even more depressed, the emperor had asked him to step down, what else could he do?
“…… However, I have also mapped out a few paths for you, so you can think about it yourself......" Yang said.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many are they?" Liu Yanyuan came to the god at this time, and hurriedly asked, the emperor's main intention is too much, maybe he can avoid this catastrophe.
"I will give you a promise first, which of your stocks and family property, I can protect you, and people don't have to go to prison......" Yang Gai said directly.
“…… Thank you, Your Majesty, Long. Liu Yanyuan said, in frustration, there is a little bit of good-looking, but this result is not very ideal, it can only be regarded as a guarantee.
"If you just want to be a rich man in the future and don't want to go back to the court, in addition to what I said above, I can also shelter one or two descendants of your family, so that although it can't be compared with the military department, it can also ensure that your family is still prosperous, after you go back, you can teach your son well, and it will not be difficult for me to take care of you in the future!" Yang continued.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Speaking of this, Liu Yanyuan's tears fell, although the emperor said that he couldn't keep him, but the emperor still attaches great importance to feelings, attaches great importance to human feelings, and impeached him, he knows his own affairs, since the emperor said so, he also knows that the things he did by himself are estimated to have been taken by someone, and it is estimated that they cannot be involved. ,
"If the Qing family still wants to make a difference in this political arena and continue to want to be an official, I can't help you, but ......," Yang said again. Yang Reform also saw that this guy was unwilling, and now that he is the secretary of the military department, the Ming Dynasty has won battles again and again, how can he be willing to leave the position of the secretary of the military department? Not to mention leaving a name in history, at least it can be regarded as a military secretary who has made a difference, this official is right, he is addicted, and he will not easily say that he doesn't want to be an official. Yang Reform also came to the scheming, since this guy can't stay in the capital, it is better to let him stay outside, I just don't know if he has the courage.
"Ahh Your Majesty, this is ......! I don't know ...... Your Majesty" Liu Yanyuan listened to the emperor's words, and his heart was so depressed that he couldn't do it, and there was a little bit of hope, and sure enough, the emperor still has a way!
"Although this Kanqing family may not be able to get by, however, the Qing family is not without merit, and now the Sancha River is a big victory, but it is a real rare victory, no matter what those people say, it is impossible to erase this credit from you, isn't it?" Yang Gai said.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, yes, the ministers are all thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, so that they can have a little effort." Speaking of his own merits, Liu Yanyuan has some hope again, yes! Although he is not clean under his buttocks, but now the credit of this Sancha River victory, it is impossible to erase him no matter what, and Liu Yanyuan's hope is back.
"I have a trick for you, the premise is that you can endure hardships and not be afraid of death, if you feel that you can't stand it, you can not go, you can still be a rich man at home, and it is not impossible to put more effort on your son, and let your son shine in the future ...... court," Yang Gai said.
"Your Majesty, please." Liu Yanyuan said hopefully.
"Now the Qing family is an official in Beijing, I'm afraid I can't do it anymore, but if the Qing family still wants to be an official, I might as well go overseas to try it, although the Qing family has a stain, but if it is to go overseas to be an official, then there is a derogatory meaning in it, even if there are some stains, it does not prevent the Qing family from being an official, not to mention that the Qing family still has the credit of the Sancha River, as long as I go around it, the Qing family still has the hope of being an official, and now the Great Ryukyu side is opening very fast, and it will soon be able to unfold, or in a few years, the county can become a state, The state can become a government, and it can become a province in the near future, and the Qing family has lived a hard life for a few years, and I am looking for a way to transfer the Qing family back, so that the Qing family can always be an official, but it is a little bitter......," Yang reformed and said. This is not a good idea, it is almost a bad idea, but if Liu Yanyuan wants to be an official, there is almost only one way to go. Depreciation, this word is not a good word, with a bad meaning in it, but Yang Reform wants to say that this is actually a good word.
Yang Reform quite appreciates the political atmosphere of the Song Dynasty that is relegated from the central government to the locality, and the court struggle has a certain bottom line, which is much better than the life-and-death party struggle. Today's party struggle seems to be less intense, and it is because of its own intentional division; deliberately diverting attention; Intentional suppression has such an effect, and the reality itself still exists. Yang Gengai wanted to learn from the Song Dynasty and leave a post-mén for the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty, or set a precedent. In the future, if some people want to take this path, there will be a precedent to follow.
However, Yang Reform also knows that this is not necessarily a good way to learn from, and his own ideas may not be able to be implemented, Yang Reform's meaning is actually to lay a good foundation for colonial expansion in advance, to correct the name of the colony, and to degrade officials to go to other places, and rise up again in a few years, then I'm afraid everyone will ask, why get up? Then, obviously, it is necessary to care about the colonies, and it is very helpful to open the colonies and correct the names of the colonies, and in a few years, some colonies that have opened well should be treated with the mainland, and no one will regard those places as enclaves, as unmáo miasma, and from now on, these places will become China's inalienable territory since ancient times.
"Great Ryukyus?" It's not the first time Liu Yanyuan has heard this name, and he is quite familiar with this name. The pirate Zheng Zhilong, the matter of immigration, is all related to this.
"Yes, it's Da Liuqiu, now Master Xu is immigrating over there, it has already achieved some results, it's a good job, or two years, you can transport grain to the mainland, or two years, the county that has opened better should become a state, if the Qing family is unwilling to leave the officialdom, I can help, send the Qing family over, the Qing family will stay there for a few years, earn some merits, and return to the dynasty with merit, so, it's not in vain, the Qing family can also use this to wash off the stains on the body, be an innocent person...... what does the Qing family mean?" Yang Gai said. ,
Liu Yanyuan hesitated, what the emperor said was quite attractive, as a member of the imperial party, he knew how much effort the emperor had put into the Great Ryukyu, and the emperor was not lying to him, he said that it was absolutely possible to let him return to the dynasty with merit in a few years. However, it is obvious that Liu Yanyuan's hesitation is also quite large, and the opinion that has been formed tells him that it is a place of transformation and miasma, and that people there drink blood and are likely to die there.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty...... what position can the minister hold in the past?" Liu Yanyuan, who was hesitant, still asked about his treatment, he didn't want to go or not, but he still had to ask about the treatment.
"Hehe, have the Qing family forgotten about this retirement?" Yang Gengai said with a smile.
As soon as the emperor said this, Liu Yanyuan immediately knew what the emperor was talking about, and now the immigration officer over there has played to the court many times, saying that the natives there often go down the mountain to attack the immigrants, and beg the court to send officials and soldiers to suppress it, and stay here to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, and now that he is retiring, he also intends to take advantage of this east wind, since there is a request over there, the court naturally has to ask, after all, it is related to the big immigration, so it is necessary to send troops, but obviously, the cost of sending troops is too high, even if the troops are sent, it is impossible to be permanent, so, There is room for this, a kind of part-time arrest, part-time army, part-time militia is the goal of this retirement and transfer, used to place those retired soldiers for the emperor, so that they can have a long-term job, and they will not starve to death, and they can even be an official, and their social status is not too bad, which is not comparable to that of ordinary government officials.
This is also the bottom line of Yang's reform and reform of the military, not to mention the demobilization and transfer of jobs in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, at least in the colonies, and then slowly introduced to the interior.
"Your Majesty is talking about inspection?" Liu Yanyuan asked softly, this matter can be regarded as one of the secrets of the emperor he participated in as the emperor's party, and when he saw the emperor talking about this, he immediately became serious.
"Yes, the Qing family is demoted, and it is not easy to go where to be a regular official, but this inspection is not bad, the Qing family has also done the military department, and I am not afraid that those retired officers and soldiers will not be satisfied, it is not difficult to make achievements, and it is just right to get started with the inspection. Now in the past, as long as you stay for a year, and the county there can become a state, the Qing family can naturally be promoted to the state inspection, and stay for another two years, and when it becomes a government, the Qing family will naturally become a government inspection, and in a few years, the Qing family can be a patrol envoy, and at that time, that place will become a good place for everyone to be promoted, and it will become a fragrant dumpling, even if the Qing family wants to stay there, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep it, and they can easily jump back, how? Yang Gai said.
"This ......" Liu Yanyuan told the truth, he was tempted, but from a military department to a nine-grade inspection, this gap can only be described as falling to the ground, maybe the entire Ming Dynasty is poor, he doesn't play like this, people either resign and recover in a few years, but the emperor pointed him the way, but it started from the nine-grade official again, this is playing with a heartbeat!
"How, how did the Qing family think about it?" Yang asked Gengai.
"This ...... Your Majesty, this, the minister is brave, can the minister call himself sick and retire? Liu Yanyuan felt that although the emperor's words were reasonable and attractive, he still couldn't make up his mind, he felt that it was enough to hang, or in other words, he couldn't endure the hardship.
"Hehe, it's not that I said you, Liu Qing's family, none of the things under your hands are clean, even if you are sick, this stain can't be removed, with this stain, how can you come back? Isn't this a political debate? If it's just a political dispute, then it's easy to do, and I won't bother to help you with so much effort. If you want to wash your affairs cleanly, you can only admit it openly, then accept the punishment, and then start from the lowest official in an open and honest manner, and return to the court, only in this way will others have nothing to say, and when you return to the court, others will only give you a thumbs up and say admiration,...... Qing family, if you can do this, this can be regarded as a legend, in the history books of our Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that you Liu Yanyuan will be indispensable...... Hehe...... "The more Yang Reform thought about it, the happier he became, and he joked with Liu Yanyuan, and had already planned a messy "I will come back" road for Liu Yanyuan.
“…… This ...... "Listening to the emperor's tricks for himself like a story, Liu Yanyuan sweated wildly, is this okay?" If it weren't for his own knowledge of the Great Ryukyu side, and even his involvement in the emperor's secrets, he would definitely think that the emperor was crazy, the emperor entertained him, and the emperor was kicking him far away...... Roa。
