Chapter 609: Low-level mistakes
"Wang Shouren went to ......"
Zhu Houwei, who had not yet taken a breath when he returned to the palace, was shocked by the news brought by Zhai Luan.
On the ninth day of the first month of the sixteenth year of Jiajing, Wang Shouren died of illness in his hometown of Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang, at the age of 57......
Zhu Houwei was not surprised by Wang Shouren's death, he knew that Wang Shouren would die this year, but he didn't know if his arrival would change Wang Shouren's life, and he didn't know when he would die.
So when he suddenly heard the news of his death, Zhu Houwei still felt a little sudden.
"Have you ever agreed on a nickname?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister discussed it with several deputy speakers, and felt that it was more appropriate to give Wang Shouren 'Wencheng'......"
Wencheng ......
Civil officials are called Zheng, Cheng, Loyal, Duan, and Ding......
The fact that the DPRK gave Wang Shouren a nickname second only to Wenzheng was already the greatest affirmation of his life's achievements.
After all, Wen Zheng ...... It's too hard, it's too demanding......
Wang Shouren was a 12-year jinshi in Hongzhi and had been in politics for nearly 30 years, but his biggest flaw was that he had been a Beijing official for too short.
Hongzhi Dynasty and Zhengde Dynasty, Wang Shouren, who had been in the official career for more than ten years, was mixed into the Ministry of Meritorious Service Shilang, and it was also in the Jiajing Dynasty that Wang Shouren really rose!
However, Wang Shouren's political achievements are mainly only two major parts, one is to serve as a school tour to supervise the world's new learning, and the other is to lead troops to pacify Xinjiang!
It's all outside, and the time to return to the center and even serve as the chief minister is too short, so short that it can almost be ignored, and Wang Shouren has no political achievements during his tenure as the first minister.
If Wang Shouren can continue to be in power for ten years...... Encountering land reform...... Fortunately or unfortunately, who can say for sure?
"Posthumously present Wang Shouren as the prince and teacher, build a new marquis, worship the Confucian Temple, and worship Wenzheng!"
Zhai Luan was dumbfounded......
Wang Shouren served as the first minister, so it is nothing to posthumously present the crown prince and prince after death, and the posthumous gift of the new marquis is to affirm his military exploits in pacifying Xinjiang, which seems to be the first marquis of the Jiajing Dynasty to be awarded for his military exploits, even if it is not hereditary.
As for the Temple of Confucius......
Who can accompany the Confucian Temple!
Fusheng, Zongsheng, Shusheng, Yasheng, Zhu Sheng, and a number of sages, that is to say, they can accompany the Confucian Temple after death, that is the greatest affirmation of their life's doctrine, not a saint is also a philosopher!
Wang Shouren achieved the three immortals, and he also aspired to be holy since he was a child, but it was impossible for him to become holy when he was alive, because the only saint in the world was the emperor!
That is to say, there will be no second person in the saints of the Jiajing Dynasty except for Emperor Jiajing, even if Wang Shouren has the posture of sanctification, he can only be posthumously crowned by the emperors of later generations after the death of Emperor Jiajing!
This is etiquette!
But now it's good, Emperor Jiajing completely ignores these, this is to directly canonize Wang Shouren in the Jiajing Dynasty?
As for Wen Zheng...... There's nothing to say, in the Jiajing Dynasty, if you want to say who is the most qualified to say Wenzheng, it is estimated that there is only Wang Shouren except for Yang Yiqing, and the reason why he gave Wencheng when discussing the name is actually because he thinks that the emperor will be Wenzheng, so he simply gets closer, so as not to lose face......
Moreover, Wang Shouren is also the first official to be enshrined in the Confucian Temple since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also honest, which is really envious, jealous and hateful.
In fact, there are also a few people in Daming who accompany the Confucian Temple, but they have not yet appeared, such as Chen Xianzhang and Xue Huo both entered the Confucian Temple during the Wanli period.
Zhai Luan wanted to persuade, but he didn't want to persuade much......
After all, this is a royal grace, and even Emperor Jiajing himself doesn't care, so why should he be this wicked person......
"How's the New Land Deal going?" Zhu Houwei asked lightly, he naturally knows where the land reform is going now, but Zhai Luan is the head of the Ming Dynasty, not a puppet in the hands of the emperor, and there are some things that should be asked.
When it came to business, Zhai Luan's face suddenly became solemn and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the new land policy is being implemented, and the number of land in Beizhili, Shandong, Nanzhili, Hunan, Hubei, Shanxi and other places are all accounting and inventorying, and then registering and making a register, and before the autumn harvest, the tax will definitely be collected according to the law of the new policy......"
"No inhibitions?"
"No ......"
Zhai Luan wanted to vomit......
The emperor was embarrassed to ask this, this is shameless!
For the sake of land reform, you fight cattle across the mountains and kill the whole world, who dares to restrain it, what's the matter, I want to see if the emperor's knife will cut into my neck, or I think the emperor will not dare to kill!
The clan and the nobles were all killed by the emperor, and those who should be driven overseas were all taken away, and those who haven't left are estimated to not be able to stay for many days, and the power of the powerful can only admit to the imperial power, you let the scholars and families resist?
No one in the world is stupid!
Powerful force and a large number of new scholars are the emperor's greatest confidence, at this time, what about the resistance of the Confucian scholars, and what about all the resignations to threaten, Zhai Luan is very suspicious that the emperor is not wanted, and then there will be a reshuffle of officialdom......
"It's good that there's no constraints." Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "Zhai Aiqing is the first minister, you have the right and obligation to warn the officials in the world, don't play any tricks, the data of Jinyiwei's inventory is clear, if there is too much discrepancy after the comparison, hehe, don't blame me for killing people."
"The minister understands, the minister will definitely urge the officials to do things honestly!"
"King Ding will leave for the Americas in a few months to establish a new dynasty, and let the Ministry of Rites and Music sort out the main accompanying officials and all the chores in order, so that there must be no mistakes."
"Obey." Zhai Luan thought for a while and said, "This time the king is going to the Americas, this clan and nobles...... And the army ......"
"The clan and the nobles are all gone!" Zhu Houwei said categorically: "The Americas are vast, you can let it go, just let these Ming magnates go to open up the territory and occupy the territory, and there is no need to add to the blockage in the Ming Dynasty, as for the army, now there are 300,000 soldiers and horses in the camp on the outskirts of the city, leaving 50,000, 250,000 soldiers and horses all gone!"
Zhai Luan was shocked, Daming now does have no internal worries and no external troubles, but he can remove seventy or eighty percent of the army at one time, is it a little more, you must know that these soldiers are all trained by Daming at a huge cost.
"There are nearly 20 million people in Western Europe who have gone to the Americas, and there are also armies, how can King Ding kill these Western Europeans if he doesn't bring more men and horses, how can he be willing to go to the north if he is not afraid!" Zhu Houwei sneered: "I just want to let the Ming army eat away at the living space of Western Europeans and Native Americans little by little, and establish a country of seven or eight fathers and sons and brothers of the Ming Dynasty on the vast land of America, and as for the Beijing camp, continue to recruit 200,000 soldiers!"
"The minister obeys the order,......" Zhai Luan said again: "The minister will go back to write and let the Duke of Qianguo return to Beijing......"
Zhu Houwei was stunned......
Qianguo Gong ...... He actually forgot to give him King Mu's Mansion!
It's just a low-level mistake that can't be lower......
