Chapter 145 - Look at the people and see the mainstream
When Hongyi and his entourage arrived at the Weiyu Palace, only he and Tuhai were left. Zhang Suihan stayed outside the noon gate, because the grade was too low; Ji Kaisheng stayed outside the Qianqing Gate, and his level was not enough, so he had to stand by.
At this moment, Fulin is not idle, and is studying in detail the "emperor's" strategy of using troops in the north together with the military department Manshangshu Kadahun and the outgoing "general of the expedition to the north" Ming An Dali.
"Xuan Ye, is the affairs of the Alba people going well?" Fu Lin was in a good mood, and asked his youngest son with a smile to get up from the ground.
"If you go back to Huang Ama, the king of Anjun is ordered to run errands, and the people who dispatched the imperial servants are all capable cadres, and now they are in full swing, and the sons must not dishonor the emperor's orders!" Hongyi is not in a hurry, and asks and answers.
"Well, that's good! Remember that no matter how many errands you hade, you can't do it on your own. Yue Le has done a good job in this matter, Xuan Ye, you have to appreciate it well. Fu Lin praised his current humerus minister, Yue Le, and hoped that Xuan Ye would spare no effort to help him like his cousin in the future.
"Son, remember!"
"Okay, looks like you two have already taken that Sterie ...... Stepanov's charges straightened out? "Fu Lin, this is naturally asking Tuhai.
"Your Majesty! The leader of the bandits, Stepanov, committed a heinous crime, and according to the law, he could be beheaded in prison. Tu Hai had Xiao Xuanye's reminder along the way, and also cooperated to create an atmosphere that he would use later.
"Okay, let's do it. When the northern land is leveled, it will be time for him and his first-class principality lord to come. Fu Lin was very satisfied, and Kadahun and Ming Andali on the side also nodded their heads. It seems that the emperor's definition of the gentile rank has done a good job.
"Erchen congratulates me on the golden ou of the Qing Dynasty, and wishes me the soldiers of the Eight Banners to calm the bandits!" Although what Hongyi said was auspicious, it still made the blood of the three monarchs and ministers boil.
Fu Lin was very satisfied, and said with a smile:
"Good! Golden Ou is flawless, open up the territory! I am determined to want the foundation of the vast number of Taizu and Taizong, and you must not slack off! ”
"Obey the holy decree!"
"All right, let's all get up and talk. It just so happens that you are all here, and our monarchs and ministers will decide on this method of going north to pacify the remnants of the Rakshasas. ”
"Huh! Huang Amma, but the retainer and Tuhai also have a matter to ask the Holy Judge, that is, the Korean merchants and smugglers of horses. "Xuan Ye should not give in, and he will play back first.
"Oh? That's what you said that day? Got an eyebrow? This horse is indeed the foundation of my Qing Dynasty cavalry shooting. It also has a lot to do with the Northern Expedition. Come and hear it! "Fulin immediately became interested.
So, with Xuan Ye's mouth hanging like a river, and Tuhai's finishing touch, Ji Kaisheng and Zhang Suihan were also fortunate to be successively announced into the Weiyu Palace. Several people explained the ins and outs of the whole thing with ups and downs, and voices were full of emotion. It's not just Fulin. is that Kadahun and Ming Andali on the side are both surprised and resentful for a while following the plot.
When he heard that Xuan Ye arranged for Zhang Suihan to successfully "break into the enemy's interior", but was trapped in the Yuhe Pavilion, Fu Lin smiled. Inserted a sentence:
"Did Tuhai be dragged into the water by you?"
"Erchen ......" Xuan Ye was a little embarrassed.
"The minion was stupid, and he really didn't think of it at that time. However, if it weren't for the resourcefulness of the second elder brother, the minion would have really missed the opportunity to serve the king like this! The Emperor Shengming! Tu Hai also smiled cheerfully, and the strength and angle were so appropriate that he slapped Fu Lin's ass, which can be regarded as giving Xuan Ye a step.
"Xuan Ye is out of shape, he really should have told Lord Tuhai earlier." Hongyi is very grateful for Tuhai's help, so it can be said that it is Daoqian.
"Haha, Xuan Ye doesn't have to be polite here, you did the right thing. For confidential matters, there must be confidential methods. Tuhai, am I right? Fu Lin praised his son's methods and results of easily "teasing" his minister.
"The Emperor Shengming!" Tu Hai said sincerely.
Subsequently, the protagonist of the storytelling naturally changed to the Shangshu Tuhai of the Criminal Department, and interpreted the temporary transformation of the Yuhe Pavilion into the lobby of the Criminal Department. At this time, Ji Kaisheng and Zhang Suihan had already said goodbye one after another, and without the presence of low-level bureaucrats, Fulin, who had endured for a long time, finally became a little annoyed, and used his good memory to express great dissatisfaction with the behavior of the vassal North Korea!
"North Korea is really annoying! Since entering the customs, whether it is the winter solstice envoy, or the thanksgiving line, the advisory line, or even the small 'eagle envoy' who has entered Haidongqing, which time has come, has I not always set up a banquet and hospitality as usual to show intimacy? But how many times did they not take my reward with them after they had eaten and drunk enough, and they were not satisfied with my reward, and they took them with them? I think of the small country of Yuer and admire the Celestial Empire, which can be regarded as getting by. But this time it's too much, even my royal horse has to be wrapped in forty horses? It must be severely punished! Fu Lin said Zuihou and slapped the table with a bang.
"The emperor is angry! The dragon body matters! A group of people hurriedly knelt down in relief.
"The slave has already detained all twenty-three people in the Yuhe Pavilion this time, just waiting for the emperor's decree, and the slave will handle it immediately!" Tuhai started in time. Persuasion is persuasion, and if you don't deal with North Korea strictly, that's against the dragon scales.
"Good! That's a good job! Erbu immediately took out a charter to see who to send to apply for that Li Hao[1]. What about this Northern Expedition...... "Fu Lin finished playing his prestige, and seemed to be ready to turn to the main topic, and continue to study the Northern Expedition with Xuan Ye and the others. After all, in his eyes, reprimanding a little king of a subject country is far less important than expanding his territory and spreading his prestige.
"Huang Ama, this northern expedition now seems to have something to do with North Korea!" Hongyi hurriedly set things right. Master, I've been busy for a long time, although it's good for you to send someone to the little emperor, but it's over in a few words, that's not good!
"Well, Xuan Ye, you go on." Fu Lin frowned slightly, and asked patiently. Xuan Ye's analysis, the current Fulin can no longer ignore it.
"Huh! The sons and daughters have three discussions, and ask the emperor to judge the holy judgment. First, North Korean merchants smuggled horses and destroyed the foundation of China's Qing Dynasty's 'riding and shooting the world', just like termites bursting embankments, and they must not be slackened. Hongyi glanced at Ming Andali, who was a general, and got a look of approval.
"Second. Since horses are smugglers, they are also smugglers of forbidden items such as nitrate, sulfur, horns, copper, iron, and other forbidden items in the military. I will disappear and grow, and over time, I am afraid that raising tigers will be troubled. When the military secretary on the side heard this, he quickly nodded and agreed.
"Third, they dare to sell soldiers and horses privately, so our Qing Dynasty has repeatedly stated to the whole of Korea that prohibited goods that cannot be traded privately, such as historical books, passionflower satin, shipbuilding wooden nails, iron, oil, corn, rice, and grain. Wait a minute. I'm afraid that they have already been secretly discarded, and there is no need to wait for the king of Joseon to ask for trade and 'Hou Teen comply'! In the long run, China's national economy and people's livelihood will be damaged, not to mention where is the authority of the emperor of the Celestial Empire? Where does the law of the Qing Dynasty exist? Hongyi finished. The criminal department Shangshu Tuhai behind him couldn't bear it for a long time. A vigorous nod of yes. I was also very excited to nod to each other with Kadahun and Ming Andali to show encouragement!
"What a daring! As early as the first year of Shunzhi, I issued an edict to all countries in the world. All foreign trade is not allowed to buy history books, black, yellow, purple soap, large flowers passionflower satin, and prohibited weapons, flame salt, horn and other things. It is also determined that when foreign envoys return to China, the accompanying personnel are not allowed to trade the prohibited goods privately. When the merchants returned to China, they were not allowed to carry the population of the mainland and to carry large wooden nails, iron, oil, rice, and grain for shipbuilding, and they were not allowed to smuggle silk to go abroad or buy satin brocade silk privately, and the offender was punished [2]. Tu Hai, this time you give me a glare at me, don't be derelict in your duties! I want to see who dares to disobey the heavens! "Fu Lin's blood is surging, and there is a great momentum of thunder.
"Slaves obey!" Tuhai finally got his wish and replied loudly to receive his order.
"Xuan Ye's three discussions, every sentence is reasonable, and everything is important. All of you should be careful and come up with a detailed charter for me as soon as possible! Fu Lin calmed down, and the wise decision was to let the ministers start work first, and make their own decisions.
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the case behind the ban on North Korean traders is bound to be serious, and the slave's criminal department is responsible for it, so he doesn't dare to slack off. But the matters involved are extremely broad, and all of them are important, is it not a few meetings, so as to seek comprehensiveness to ensure longevity? Tu Hai took a step forward and said for Xiao Xuanye that he had planned a long time ago.
"Hmmm! Tuhai is far-sighted, and I am very relieved! In this case, I will quickly convene the five Manchu and Han Shangshu of households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and gather in the Yugong Palace, and I will discuss this matter with you. Ming Andali, a former member of the Ministry of War, also attended the meeting. "Fu Lin waved his hand, very jiashi.
In fact, five of the six ministries have been announced, but the officials have not been summoned. It's not negligence, it's deliberate. On the surface, the Ministry of Officials has the least to do with the prohibited things of Korean smugglers, but in fact, Fulin's consideration is: once the six ministries are gathered, it will be the pattern of convening a meeting of the king, Baylor, and ministers, and it is necessary to find more than a dozen princes, county kings, and Baylor lords among those clansmen.
Fulin's calculations in this, Hongyi has not fully understood it, but he sighed in his heart: This is the effect of his cronies and close ministers - the words of Tuhai were immediately affirmed and implemented by Shangfeng. This is not something that ordinary ministers can do. It's really smart to create opportunities to get to know Tuhai by yourself!
"Your Ministers obey!" Kadahun, Tuhai and Ming Anda salute bow down to receive the decree.
"Huang Ama, do you want to let the last two envoys to Korea be held together, the Shaobao and the crown prince Taibao Bahana, the Minister of the Interior Wu Bai, the left attendant of the military department, Jueluo Korkun, and the scholar Zhekuna? John Tang is proficient in weapons, knows the power of forbidden things, and can also plan one or two from the side. Hongyi was not sure whether he was within the scope of the meeting, so he first threw bricks and stones, suggesting that the number of participants could be expanded.
"Well, that's right. Wu Liangfu, according to what Xuan Ye said, quickly summoned! Fulin accepted it all.
"Minion Command." Wu Liangfu hurriedly walked outside the hall, and he didn't have time to deal with a few ministers, but when he passed by Xuan Ye's side, he didn't forget to pause, and made a simplified bow to Little Belle Ye.
Hongyi was a little puzzled, what happened to this old eunuch slave today? Weishenme is so arrogant, leading the emperor's order to slap himself? was thinking about it, but heard Fu Lin open his mouth:
"The second elder brother also stays and participates in the meeting. But you can't be the Minister of Parliament yet, you know? ”
Hongyi suddenly realized! It turned out that Wu Liangfu reminded the emperor with his own actions: Don't fall behind this young master.
When Fu Lin saw Wu Liangfu's actions above, he naturally understood it, but he also had to say the ugly words in front - a two-year-old prince, no matter how capable you are, you are still underage. The sky is auspicious, and it is okay to make suggestions, and it is not yet time to discuss state affairs!
"Erchen thank the Emperor Ama!" Hongyi hurriedly received the order, and when he raised his head, he was actually a little moved by the old eunuch who was far away behind him! It seems that every character in history who has left pen and ink will not be vividly displayed with just a few numbers. Even though he is the villain who was characterized as a "heinous villain" by later generations, he is still first and foremost a person, a man of flesh and blood.
Since he is a human being, he will have his own thoughts and trade-offs, and any action will at least have a so-called value judgment standard in his heart. In fact, only history itself can give an accurate evaluation of everything he did. In addition, every "commentator", in the end, will not completely restore the real history. Looking at people and looking at the mainstream, maybe that's the truth......
It's a pity that Wu Liangfu's "mainstream" is still a traitor! Or perhaps, it remains to be seen?
