"The appointment of the minister to the state has already offended the material discussion. Now there are ignorant people who directly reprimand their sons for having a heart of separation, and they don't know how to defend themselves in vain. I wanted to return to Beijing immediately and listen to the hadith, but the slavery was not peaceful, there were many evils, the southeast was turbulent, it was related to the country's grain and tax land, and the people were concerned, so they did not dare to abandon it. Therefore, the sons and ministers are willing to risk the criticism of the world, and also seek to clear up the situation for the Holy Son of Heaven.

"In order to avoid the suspicion of loyal ministers, Xiao Xiao jumped off the beam, and asked the Holy Son of Heaven to abolish the two-capital system, take the imperial city of Nanjing as the palace, and withdraw the Nanjing temple system; The two provinces of An (Qing) Hui (Prefecture) and Jiang (Ning) and Jiangsu (Prefecture) are directly under the jurisdiction of the south, and three departments are set up to select herdsmen and officials, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the six departments of Beijing......"

The Jiangnan officialdom earthquake caused by Jiliucang in Kunshan, whether it is the Nanjing bigwig or the Zhejiang envoy to bear the responsibility, will be unclear on the grounds of "traitorous party framing". Only when Zhu Cihong stands up can he take off the hat of "party struggle" and return to the original purpose: the government is not clear.

To take responsibility is to come up with a solution, since some people suspect that the crown prince is going to divide half of the country in Nanjing-although this logic does not stand up to scrutiny, but some people do shout out. Then the crown prince simply abolished the two-capital system, Beijing was the only political center, and the southern government was divided into two provinces, which were directly governed by Beijing.

By doing so, you can always prove your innocence, right?

……

"Indeed, this can indeed prove that the crown prince himself has no ambition to establish another court, but I am afraid that the ministers of Nanzhong will not have such a good time. I am afraid that there will be as many as 2,000 officials in the six departments of Nanjing, and the monasteries, institutes, and offices that should be dismissed. The white-bearded old man sat on the official hat chair and said slowly while peeling oranges.

Sitting at the head of the old man is Shi Kefa, who is now the superintendent of Huguang. He was transferred from the position of secretary of the Nanjing Military Department to the governor of Huguang, which was obviously a flat transfer, but in fact he was an official. After arriving in Wuchang, Shi Kefa felt more and more that government affairs were difficult. On the one hand, the stragglers in Chu Town have not been cleared, and bandits have been formed in many places to divide the county seat. On the other hand, there are more Miao Yi people in Hunan, who do not obey indoctrination, and are chaotic from time to time.

The main force of the mountain division is in the two lakes. On weekdays, he can also respect the officials of the local shepherd, but the division commander Luo Yukun is subject to the transfer of the military department, and does not pay attention to the governor's flag at all. Shi Kefa's temperament couldn't do the decision of Hong Chengchou and Yuan Chonghuan to kill the generals like chickens, so he had to slowly consume them in the spirit of peace and quietness.

Although local official affairs are not good, Shi Kefa has not forgotten Nanjing and the world's major events. His staff member's surname is Yao Mingkang, who is well-versed in ancient and modern times, as if he has Wang Zuozhicai, and he is only called "Mr. Yao". Treat him with the courtesy of the teacher, without the slightest arrogance.

Yao Kang originally wrote a book "Taibai Sword", using the rebellion of Wangchao in the Tang Dynasty to allude to the current situation, and accordingly proposed the national policy of "uniting the capture and leveling the Kou", which was recognized by Shi Kefa. The result turned out that Donglu was not Xirong in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no "Guo Ziyi" in the Ming Dynasty.

This incident made Yao Kang depressed for a long time. He became more and more cautious about the situation in the world, and did not dare to say more. However, the situation in Jiangnan is now a see-fare for him. Because Jiangnan Shilin's reaction has not changed for more than a hundred years, it is too easy to judge with just a few moves to come and go.

It's just that His Royal Highness the crown prince's reaction is often unexpected, and it is really a bit imaginative.

"If Beijing really withdraws Nanjing, won't it be a knife for the crown prince?" Shi Kefa said: "With the support of Nanjing, it is easier to control than the two provinces after all." ”

"But the old man doesn't see it that way." Yao Kang is perennial. At this moment, I clearly felt that my spirit was tense. He said carefully: "There are very few people in Nanjing who are inclined to the crown prince, but a few of them are five or six grades. If the Nanjing system is really abolished, for him, the power will become more and more centralized, and he can directly give orders to the three divisions of the two provinces in the south and the province. ”

"The general manager of the three divisions of the new province still has to report to Beijing, so it is better to directly command the south directly." Shi Kefa disagreed.

"I'm afraid that the southern Shilin underestimated the strength of this crown prince's control over the government." Yao Kang said leisurely: "In the cabinet. Li Yuzhi didn't leave for a long time, just because Wu Fu wanted the president to take the exam this year. When Wu Fu accepted this batch of protégés, it was time for Li Yuzhi to pay tribute. Jiang Dejing was ordered to govern Huang Huai, and he has always been supervising the work outside, and the two cabinet elders who really do things are the crown prince's people, why should he worry that Beijing will hinder him? ”

Shi Kefa still didn't believe it in his heart. Wu Fu and Sun Chuanting are both old and capable officials, and they will never blindly follow the will of the crown prince. The so-called companion is like a companion, how can there be no friction between an old adult like them and the radical crown prince?

Yao Kang said again: "Actually, Nanjing is too ruthless, forcing the crown prince to come up with this desperate plan. ”

Shi Kefa said: "Shilin has always been self-righteous with a sharp knife and pen. Who would have thought that newspapers, as things, could launch such a huge momentum. Speaking of which, newspapers are also a new policy implemented by the crown prince. ”

Yao Kang shook his head and said: "Verbal criticism and writing are one, and resignation and resignation are another." These two are clearly the crown prince's side to prepare for it, let everyone show the carriages and horses, show their knives and guns, and then use their strength to fight back. Ming Gong and think about it: If Jiangnan Shilin hadn't made such a big move, and had not been so united, how could it be so easy for the crown prince to abolish the two-capital system? ”

Shi Kefa thought about it along Yao Kang's train of thought, and couldn't help but sigh: "Now Jiangnan is like a special region, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven has to withdraw from Nanjing." ”

"Exactly, it's not the crown prince who is guarding, it's actually Jiangnan that is unified." Yao Kang shook his head as he spoke, and put the orange in his mouth to warm it. Oranges could not be stored for a long time, Zhang Dai's fourth uncle Zhang Yefang invented a method of preservation, that is, to use yellow sand jars to harvest them with Jincheng straw or dry pine hair. After ten days, the grass will be replaced when it is moist. In this way, it can be hidden until the end of March, and it is as crisp as a new picker.

Although it is extravagant, it is loved by the big families in Jiangnan.

Although Shi Kefa is incorruptible, he is not harsh on himself for the necessary expenses of life. What's more, Yao Kang is also fond of eating oranges, so he naturally has to ensure the supply.

"As soon as this article came out, Jiangnan didn't know how to deal with it." Shi Kefa asked.

Yao Kang said: "The old masters will say nothing more than the word 'ancestral system'. ”

Shi Kefa was silent. The ancestral system is the sharpest weapon, but it is also the weakest argument. Moreover, taking Nanjing as the ancestral system itself is also somewhat untenable, because everyone knows that Emperor Taizu Gao of the Daoist Dao is actually not satisfied with the capital of Nanjing. He once took Kaifeng as Beijing, set up Beiping Mansion, and later reverted to Kaifeng Mansion. In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, he sent the crown prince to inspect Shaanxi to inspect the relocation of the capital to Guanzhong.

During the period from Yongle to Orthodoxy, the status of Beijing and Nanjing also underwent several transitions, either with Beijing as the line or Nanjing as the line, and it was not until the sixth year of orthodoxy that the system of north and south Beijing was finally determined.

If this quarrels start again, it will be another war of words, and Nanjing will probably fall behind.

"If you talk about it, the old man almost thinks that all this was provoked by the crown prince." Yao Kang said suddenly: "If Nanzhi is divided into two provinces and belongs to the six departments, then the system of Jiangnan Shilin, which was originally based on the south and Zhejiang, will become a three-province competition. According to the two provinces of Anhui and Jiangsu, which are divided by the crown prince, the former is rich and the latter is talented. Once the two provinces are separated, and their people are divided into township parties, doesn't it give the crown prince a chance to break through? ”

Shi Kefa hesitated: "I'm afraid the crown prince is not enough to manipulate people's hearts, right?" ”

Yao Kang smiled but said nothing.

"Sir, what do you think Jiangnan should do?" Shi Kefa asked again. He knew that although he had left Jiangnan, there would definitely be people over there who would write to ask him for his opinion, so he had to lay the foundation first.

"Jiangnan is rich and known all over the world, if you are willing to give the crown prince a piece of the pie, maybe any problem will be solved." Yao Kang said with a smile.

"Profit sharing? Crown prince? The whole world is his family......"

"Does Ming Gong believe it himself?" Yao Kang waved his hand and interrupted Shi Kefa: "This world is nominally the Zhu family, but the emperor is wearing rags, and the rich family in Jiangnan even has a few replacement silk satins. If there is no national change, perhaps this situation can continue for decades. After the Jiashen Change, the crown prince has already eaten the marrow and knows the taste of the army, will he still turn a blind eye to the anointed land in the south of the Yangtze River? ”

"The crown prince's appetite is limited after all, and he must also take care of the name of his former and future lives, if the Jiangnan family can share some profits, it will be fine. If you are determined to eat alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to be good. Yao Kang sighed: "It's a pity that people die for money!" ”

Shi Kefa shook his head, he heard that the cabinet had discussed the "Tax Law" as early as eighteen years, but because of Jiang Gelao's obstruction, he could not reach a collegiate agreement. If this method can be achieved in Jiangnan first, it will undoubtedly be the crown prince's favorite thing.

Putting aside the affairs of Jiangnan for the time being, Shi Kefa said: "The affairs of my Huguang are also complicated, and this official has tried his best to implement the new policy of the East Palace, but there are many obstacles and little effect. I was thinking about going up, but I was worried that the crown prince would misunderstand that I was supporting Jiangnan and attacking the new law. Alas. ”

"It is not an exaggeration to say that Ming Gong's concerns are sincere." Yao Kang said: "Huguang's difficulty lies in the fact that there are no ruthless officials. They all want to enter the famous eunuch shrine, where are they willing to offend the place? ”

"They are not afraid that the crown prince will take them ......down," Shi Kefa sighed.

"Afraid of what? Aren't there any officials above? Yao Kang said with a smile.

"I don't want to hold them up." Shi Kefa looked disgusted, he didn't have a good impression of those mediocre people.

"It's simple," Yao Kang said, "forcing all localities to make up the regular tax, as long as they can hand over the grain, it is the greatest support for the crown prince." Ming Gong didn't expect to enter the famous eunuch temple, what did he care? ”

"This ......"

"Then collect some evidence of the abuse of the people by the lower officials, and hand it over to the crown prince."

Yao Kang said the countermeasure in a few words, ate the last few orange cloves in his hand, and clapped his hands to leave. (To be continued......)
