After the Ming mission confirmed the details of the implementation of the treaty, it hurriedly prepared to return to Beijing.

According to the agreement between the two sides, the Eastern Qin will first withdraw the Zhenjiang garrison, and after the Ming Dynasty fulfills the treaty and opens the port to trade, it will withdraw the Ningbo garrison.

After all the provisions were implemented, the Dinghai and Shuangyu garrisons were withdrawn. The two sides agreed that this process would not take more than half a year, that is to say, after half a year, Eastern Qin would withdraw all its troops.

The Ming Dynasty guaranteed to implement the terms within half a year, and some of the remaining terms, such as the mutual recognition of the rights of the clans and vassals, were personally fulfilled by the Eastern Qin.

After a simple banquet in Ningbo, the Ming delegation set off for Beijing, and Ashin specially sent them several carriages made in the Eastern Qin Dynasty as a commemoration.

When the mission returned to Hangzhou, Liu Daxia, Xie Qian, and Wang Heng couldn't bear it anymore and wept bitterly.

Emperor Hongzhi died, two months earlier than another time and space, presumably because of the fiasco in eastern Zhejiang, which made him worry too much.

But before Liu Daxia finished grieving, the Jingshi came to the decree, demanding that Liu Daxia be taken from his post, shackled into Beijing, and added three iron chains to show his sin, and his family was imprisoned.

Liu Daxia kowtowed and thanked him, and calmly accepted the shackles and the prisoner car.

Xie Qian, Wang Heng, and Ma Wensheng, who accompanied him, all had deep sympathy.

Fortunately, the newly accepted disciple Long Junren still does not give up, which makes Liu Daxia quite pleased.

When the frame reached Nanzhili, a public anger finally broke out, and people along the way smashed Liu Daxia with rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves and stones.

All the crimes of loss of power and humiliation of the country are attributed to this governor. The civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty also have this statement now, and the same is true for the folk gentry.

Especially those officials and gentry who lost their interests because of the opening of the port, they did not hate the people, but only Liu Daxia.

And the farther north you go, the more this kind of public anger will be, as if someone is inciting public opinion.

Xie Qian saw it clearly, he didn't dare to imagine that if it was really the peace treaty he signed, he was afraid that his backbone would have to be broken.

Although Liu Daxia was sad and angry, he endured silently all the way, and there were many officials accompanying him, and he did not suffer from the abuse of the servants.

It's just that the people are angry from time to time, and his heart is dripping blood, and he doesn't blame these people, but he is anxious about their ignorance.

The local gentry and the common people are all in a dream, and the further north these local gentry are, the more they don't know the power of the people, but they are here to incite the people, and they are quick for a while!

……

At the beginning of June of the fourth year of Huaxia, the Ming delegation rushed back to Beijing.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty died, all kinds of etiquette have been simplified, and he will be buried after seven days, and the heir does not have to do anything to keep filial piety for three years and not close to wine.

However, because Xie Qian, a cabinet minister, was away, the temple name and the name of Emperor Hongzhi had not yet been discussed.

In addition, a heavy treaty has not yet been decided, and after the ministers understood Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts, they also thought about ending it before the burial and leaving a clean throne for the new monarch.

Xie Qian, Wang Heng, Ma Wensheng and other officials ran to cry as soon as they entered Beijing.

Although Liu Daxia cried bitterly, he didn't have a chance to send Hongzhi another ride, and he was handed over to the edict as soon as he entered the city.

Two days later, the temple number and nickname of Emperor Hongzhi were determined, and Emperor Ming Xiaozong, Jiantian Ming Dao Chengchun Zhongzheng Shengwen Shenwu Zhiren Dade respected the emperor.

Then the emperor's edict was promulgated, and since the Han Dynasty, there have been two key edicts for the transfer of imperial power, one is the emperor's edict, and the other is the edict of the new emperor's accession.

Generally speaking, the number of words in the edict should not be small, about three or four hundred words, and the words should be concise, accurate and thoughtful. There are also fixed parts of the content: recalling political achievements, reviewing shortcomings, announcing death, identifying heirs, entrusting heirs, admonishing ministers, stipulating funerals, and pacifying places.

In the edict of Emperor Hongzhi, he sincerely admitted that his ability was lacking, and he failed to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous again and failed to make the people healthy. It is also a modest expression of merit, which depends on the hard work of all civil and military personnel. Then he decided that although he was always introspective, he still failed to spy on the loyalty and traitors in the world, and although he had measures, he did not have the courage to reform.

In the end, he identified Zhu Houzhao as the new emperor, warned the ministers to be good at life, and even warned Zhu Houzhao that the country was in difficulty, and he should work hard and not be greedy for extravagant enjoyment.

At the end of the edict, Emperor Hongzhi mentioned a sum of Eastern Qin and took the blame on himself. This sentence directly exempted Liu Daxia from heavier punishment.

It can only be said that Emperor Hongzhi is really generous to the extreme, and he is unwilling to let Liu Daxia, an old man who does practical things, be used by the new courtiers to wash away all the blame.

Although the Hongzhi Dynasty had no merits, the Hongzhi Emperor's character was valuable, and it was indeed rare in the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that the emperor is a bad person, and sometimes he doesn't do more than the emperor is a big bad person.

Two days after the edict was issued, the date of Zhu Houzhao's accession to the throne was confirmed. The Cabinet, together with the six ministries, also held a meeting of the Imperial Council.

Zhu Houzhao is still immersed in the pain of losing his father at this moment, and he is still young, so he doesn't understand this sudden change.

When Li Dongyang and other courtiers bowed to him in unison, his tears flowed out even more, and he understood that his father, who loved him the most, would never come back.

Empress Zhang hurriedly comforted Zhu Houzhao, and said some encouraging words with tears in her eyes.

In such a situation, the civil and military people present once again wet their eyes, and a benevolent and generous saint left, and they had some worries about Zhu Houzhao, the new monarch.

Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian are all Zhu Houzhao's teachers, and they all probably know that he is a jumpy character, although he is a little smart, but his intelligence is not used in business.

"That's it! The country is not solid, internal and external troubles, let's stop wiping tears! What needs to be discussed at the moment are nothing more than two major matters. Li Dongyang spoke first.

As he spoke, he took out Liu Daxia's 10,000-character words.

"This is a 10,000-word sentence written by Liu Daxia, and it is also one of the things we want to discuss, what we have to discuss first, what crime should Liu Daxia be treated!"

Xie Qian continued: "This defeat is not a crime of war!" Liu Shiyong has done his best, so he will take his post and return to his hometown! ”

"Won't it be too light?" Liu Jian frowned and said: "After all, this is a loss of power and humiliation of the country, if it is too light, will you dare to open any mouth in the future!" ”

"That doesn't make sense!" Zeng Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, retorted: "No matter who you are, I am afraid that you will inevitably sign this treaty!" As it is said in the Book of Ten Thousand Words, Eastern Qin is a strong enemy that has not been seen in my famous religion for 3,000 years! Have you ever encountered such a formidable enemy in the history books? ”

"Even if it's not a war crime, it'...... After all...... It was Liu Shiyong who started the provocation lightly! Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, answered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a word below, I don't know if I should say it?" Wang Heng, as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also participated in the meeting exceptionally, together with Ma Wensheng.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Li Dongyang looked at him.

"Today, the people are still showing off their power in Ningbo, but we are entangled in how to deal with Lord Liu, isn't it a little ridiculous?" Wang Heng spoke sarcastically.

Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, although his words were ugly, he was telling the truth.

The death of Emperor Hongzhi and the signing of this treaty, most of the responsibility lies with the Eastern Qin, and now the princes of Gon are facing the new monarch, but the discussion is to deal with an important minister of the three dynasties!

The rest of the courtiers also blushed and remained silent.

Seeing this, Empress Zhang hurriedly said: "Elder Li Ge, the first emperor and Lord Liu have always been in the wind and clouds, presumably the first emperor does not want to see this old minister, it is too miserable for the rest of his life." ”

Li Dongyang nodded: "Then take the job and send it back to your hometown!" ”

The rest of the courtiers echoed one by one, they were all civil ministers, and they could be lightly dismissed, so naturally they would not be too opposed.

"Then let's discuss the matter!" Li Dongyang began to say: "The people are just a stone's throw away, the southeast half of the Ming Dynasty, this time I suffered from the turmoil, and I was helpless against hundreds of millions of subjects, so I had to negotiate peace!" This must not happen again! At present, the black people have become the biggest scourge of my Ming Dynasty! ”

Liu Jian nodded and said: "In the Book of Ten Thousand Words, there is a sentence that I highly recognize, the Huang people are the strongest enemies of my famous religion for three thousand years!" It comes from the sea, the ship is strong and the artillery is sharp, from the point of view of the battle situation, it relies on the warships, landing and attacking at will, and can often win more with less, and conquer the city, which is far from being comparable to the northern captives! ”

Xie Qian also said: "The people are not only strong and sharp, but also demagoguery!" After conquering eastern Zhejiang, he does not love to kill, does not plunder, and every time he goes to a place, he must do small favors and small favors! Such an enemy is unheard of! ”

Li Dongyang sighed: "Now that a treaty has been signed with the Huang people, the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty has been trampled on, if we don't treat it with care, I'm afraid that today's matter will also be staged tomorrow!" ”

Wang Heng arched his hand and said: "Liu Shiyong's master's long skills to control the dragon are the way to solve this matter in my opinion!" As long as I have sharp firearms and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, I will not be afraid! ”

Jiao Fang, the head of the household department, interjected: "At present, the national treasury of silver is only more than three million taels, if you want to train a few firearms army, is this silver enough?" ”

"If it's not enough, you have to practice!" Li Dongyang has spoken, he has read the "New Law on Firearms" and even read the battle report, so he naturally knows how powerful firearms are.

"If you want to train the new army of firearms, then you need to build firearms, Liu Shiyong also said, if you want to create better firearms, you can only imitate the firearms of the people, and there is to let the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty work hard to study. The cancellation of the craftsman's membership mentioned in it, the matter ...... It's a bit tricky! Liu Jian said.

The rest of the courtiers had the same idea, and they all thought that the strategy of mastering the long skills to control the dragon was feasible.

However, it is necessary to reform the status of craftsmen, let craftsmen get rid of lowly status, exempt them from forced labor and regular service, abolish official craftsmen, and improve the treatment of craftsmen.

This matter is debatable, if the craftsman is gone, then what about the military household? What will those low-level military households think?

Besides, without the craftsman's license, what projects and equipment does the government want to build, and who should be levied to do it?

The current Ming craftsmen are almost free slaves of the government, and without this group of people, what should the local government do?

In a word, the abolition of the craftsman may have a good impact or make the situation worse.

Most of the important members of the court understood it, knew the problem, and knew the solution, but they didn't dare to change it with a knife.

After all, it was cut your own meat, not the meat of the cows and horses.
