Wang Shouren didn't understand what he was doing wrong with his shortcomings. He even wondered if this will was issued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But no matter what, the holy decree that used the seal was not fake, and he had no other choice but to pack up and go to Guizhou.

At this time, go to Wang Wei again?

He felt a little uncomfortable, so he decided to make a detour to Shandong first to visit his father Wang Hua, who was still the political envoy of Shandong.

Family is the last haven. Such simple words are never false. When a man is full of passion, he suddenly suffers such cold reception and frustration, where else does he want to go except at home?

In August, when the heat in Beijing was unbearable, Wang Shouren decided to take a boat to Tongzhou first, and on this boat, he met a person, a Yiwei Kejinshi like him.

Because it was hot outside, no one liked to stay on the deck, so in the canopy, this person sat down in front of Wang Shouren, like a self-acquaintance, raised his hand and said: "Presumably, this is Wang Bo'an, the brother who asked for the investigation of Juntun." ”

Wang Shouren looked at it, and some felt very weird, because this guy had big shoulders and a round waist, and his outstretched fingers were much thicker than ordinary people. Looks like a martial artist.

But he is a literati serving, and his actions and words are all the style of scholars.

And since he said the four words please check Juntun, he must also be an official in Beijing.

“…… It's down, I don't know, which colleague is it? ”

"In Xia Wu Wending, like Brother Wang, he is a Jinshi of Yiwei Enke."

When Wang Shouren heard this, he took it seriously in his heart, although he couldn't afford to be mentally motivated because of what happened to him, but when he met a jinshi, the respect he should give should still be given.

So he raised his hand, "It turned out to be the same department, please forgive Brother Wu." By the way, Brother Wu, ...... this? ”

"Oh." Wu Wending continued to raise his sturdy arms, "I was appointed to the post of Changzhou magistrate, and I was supposed to go to the post in April, but at that time, I unfortunately fell ill and was delayed for a while. ”

Wang Shouren looked at his strong and mighty appearance, and his spirit was sufficient, and he muttered in his heart: Are you still not healed?

But this doubt was obviously greater than the disappointment that slowly rose in his heart,

Enke was later awarded the Changzhou Tuiguan (Tuiguan: set up at the prefectural level, Zhengqipin, equivalent to the president of the court), which shows that Wu Wending ranked after himself in the imperial examination.

After all, it is not the same to serve in the Sixth Department and to go to Changzhou to be a pusher.

However, when it was ironic, it was only three months for the two of them to go out of Beijing together, and the situation changed dramatically.

"Brother Bo'an's "Please Check the Army Tunshu", Wu also read it. Brother Bo'an sacrificed his life to take righteousness and offer advice to the country, and asked him to receive a certain gift. "Wu Wending looks like a 'rough man', but he is really a 'literati'.

According to the official position, the family is now big.

So Wang Shouren didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare." However, Wang did not invite Wang Bo'an of Zha Juntun, but Wang Bo'an, the Longchang Yicheng. ”

There was a bit of self-deprecation in that.

"Why should Brother Wang be arrogant?" Wu Wending encouraged: "Today's prince is the atmosphere of a holy monarch, and I think that soon after I come, His Royal Highness will think of this "Please Check the Army". ”

These are comforting words, people say it casually, and they listen to it casually.

"I borrowed Brother Wu's auspicious words."

This time Wang and Wu met without any waves, but the two also knew each other.

After Wang Shouren arrived in Shandong, he thought that his father should always comfort him.

After all, a new Jinshi was hired to be a post man, and he was still the first one in the entire Ming Dynasty.

But he didn't expect that he couldn't enter the gate of the political envoy's yamen!

When the scorching sun was in the sky, Wang Shouren stood outside the door and was completely lost.

And why?

Grievances, really unspeakable grievances.

At His Royal Highness and Wang Wei, if he has grievances, he can only endure them by himself. But when it came to his father, he couldn't help it.

Wang Hua didn't see him, so he stood outside the door.

The guards who watched the gate in the sun hid in the shade under the eaves, and even the dogs in the street knew how to hide under the trees and stick out their tongues over and over again.

In the open space in front of the yamen of the political envoy, a young man stood and did not move.

Although there are few people on the street, as time goes by, people come and go and see more, so there will naturally be criticism.

The guard who was still watching the door knew that this was the son of the political envoy, and he didn't dare to slack off in his words, and would invite him to wait in the shade with him, but Wang Shouren had a donkey temper and just didn't move.

Later, there was no way, so Wang Hua asked the people in the yamen to come out and bring him a word,

is an old man wearing an official uniform, and now as long as he wears an official uniform, he is older than him Wang Shouren.

The old man asked, "Is Childe white?" ”

"Xiaguan, Ren Guizhou Longchang Yicheng."

"Then why don't you go to Guizhou to take office and come to Shandong to make a political envoy to Yamen?"

This question is asked, and everyone who watches the gate knows that I am Wang Hua's son!

Wang Shouren endured it again, "Xiaguan is looking for his father." ”

The old man shook his head, "The son was deposed and came to Guizhou, and he should have taken office, why did he come to Shandong?" What are you doing in Guizhou, the monarch's father has an explanation, and Ling Zun doesn't know about Guizhou. If it is because of the grievances in the heart, then it is even more necessary, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace. If you don't go to Shangren and deliberately detour to Shandong, is it ...... Are you here to complain? ”

Wang Shouren was shocked when he heard this.

It's bad, if you catch someone with a heart, you can refer to a book, saying that he is dissatisfied with his father, and if he doesn't do it, he will affect his father.

"Xiaguan Lake Tu! That's it! After walking half a step, he turned back again, "Please pass on a word to the next official, and say that the child knows that he is wrong, and he will go to Guizhou to take office." ”

"Well, the children can be taught." The old man nodded and stroked his beard.

After turning around, he entered the gate, and bumped into the political envoy who was already eavesdropping here, Wang Hua.

Why doesn't Wang Hua want to see his son?

Father and son are separated, and he can't feel the pain of separation.

Because of the scorching heat, there were few pedestrians on the road, and only Wang Shouren was alone with his bags on his back, and from time to time he had to raise his arm to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and his back was somewhat lonely.

As a father, Wang Hua also had a sour feeling in his heart, "My son, take care." ”

"There is no need to be sad. The son of Bo'an is sparse for the country, bluntly speaks about the shortcomings of the border army, and has the demeanor of a courtier, and in time, he will be the pillar of the country. ”

It was probably at this moment that Wang Hua would miss a little nostalgic for the time when his son was at home and talked to him and made him angry, and at that time he was looking forward to his success in the imperial examination and the glory of the lintel.

Now Jinshi is in the middle school, but he has to go to a place like Guizhou.

"Hey."

……

……

And in the East Palace.

Zhu Houzhao's mind was attracted by a letter of recital.

In fact, after the crown prince was in charge of the country, the enterprising spirit he showed injected a shot of strength into this drowsy Ming officialdom.

Officials everywhere want to send their opinions on a certain national policy to the crown prince, so Wang Shouren is not the only one.

But things have to be prioritized, with his current ability and the limitations of this era, it is impossible for him to do everything perfectly.

Many of the previous measures were basically symptomatic, such as King Yong and King Qi, who played begging for acres of land and were not allowed. In essence, it only stopped this maladministration, but what had been occupied before, what was the original and what it is still what it is.

There is no way, many things cannot be done now.

After all, it is because of the recent results of the reorganization of the army that he has gained more confidence.

But today's letter is different from others, Zhu Houzhao wants to find a courtier to discuss,

The person in Shangshu is called Yang Yiqing, originally he was transferred from Nanjing Taichang Siqing to the governor of Shaanxi in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, and supervised the Ma Zheng of Shaanxi.

Now that Zhu Houzhao is here, how could he throw people like Yang Yiqing to Nanjing to waste a few years? He is not Wang Shouren, he is already forty-five years old, and Yang Yiqing is already a mature Yang Yiqing.

In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, before and after the change of Zuo Shunmen, the emperor and the crown prince were transferred to officials in a large area, and at that time Zhu Houzhao had already given Yang Yiqing a while and was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi and the governor of Shaanxi Ma Zheng.

After more than a year, there was finally this letter "Please Remove the Disadvantages of Ma Zheng".

After the cabinet and the six books came, Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jin to read the letter to the ministers in turn, and he waited patiently.

In the feudal dynasty, Ma Zheng was a key national policy that could never be bypassed. There is no greater state affairs than Rong, and the military and government should not be in a hurry with horses, this is the truth.

Because war horses are too important in the era of cold weapons.

To expect 100,000 or 200,000 infantry to be invincible in front of the nomads is historical nihilism. Because people don't fight with you, they just fight and run, so they are very passive for the side being beaten.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi also sent Ma Wensheng to rectify the border army, and Emperor Zhengde was known as Emperor Wu, who also rectified the Beijing camp, and there were also famous generals like Wang Yue in generals, as well as Qin Hong, who took over as the chief official of Wang Yue's trilateral system, which were all very capable ministers.

Historical records record that after Qin Hong was in charge of the military affairs in the northwest, he selected strong men, set up Tuntian, reaffirmed the order, and greatly boosted the military prestige.

However, the Tatars had a large-scale Koubian in the thirteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth years of Hongzhi, and they always came to grab and leave, while the Ming Dynasty always adopted a defensive position that could not be retracted.

Sometimes it's really not that 'the national army doesn't work hard,' it's really that the war horses are not as good as others, the cavalry is not as good as others, and they can't catch up, so how can they fight.

Therefore, promising monarchs in previous dynasties, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji, all attached great importance to Ma Zheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: Since ancient times, there have been countries in the world, and they have always given priority to horse politics, so if you ask the rich of the monarch, you must count the horses.

That is to say, in ancient times, when the country was rich or not, it was not about money and grain, but about how many horses there were!

Zhu Zhanji also warned the ministers, telling them to pay attention to Ma Zheng, saying: The military use, the horse is the most. The militaristic politics are also great.

According to the general routine, like all other systems, the horse administration of the Ming Dynasty was relatively good at the beginning of the founding of the country, and when Yongle died, he could raise 1.5 million war horses. But by the twelfth year of Koji...... I'm afraid I don't even have half of that number.

This is also the background of the 'lack of horses in Datong' encountered by Mao Wen when he investigated smuggling merchants in Datong before.

Yang Yiqing's recital made it clear that the horse breeding institutions in Shaanxi only kept more than 2,000 war horses, and many of them were old, weak, and critically ill......

Li Dongyang was thinking when he was watching the song: Yang Yiqing is also a smart person, looking at the situation in Beijing and what the prince has done, he should have expected that the imperial court will use troops against Tatars in the future, since he uses troops, how can he ignore Ma Zheng?

And he's in charge of Ma Zheng, which is not good,

If that day really comes, the court wants to use horses, but he, the person in charge, can't get enough war horses, isn't it all on his head?

After all, Ma Zheng's slack is not his Yang Yiqing's sin, so why should he bear this thunder.

Therefore, it is better to report the situation as early as possible, not only for the country and the people, but also to remove hidden dangers. And the more serious it is, the better, anyway, don't come to me if something goes wrong.

And once the imperial court attaches importance to this matter and does it, won't the officials who supervise Ma Zheng have remarkable political achievements? He, Yang Yiqing, can also have a 'youth version of Jane in the emperor's heart' on the prince's side.

This is the difference between an experienced and a newborn calf.

Look at Wang Shouren's sparse letter, it is very energetic, but it makes everyone panic. Look at Yang Yiqing's sparse envelope, scratching the itch of His Highness.

Li Dongyang nodded quietly, now it's up to His Highness to deal with it.

"Why don't you speak?"

It may be that Yang Yiqing's performance is too profound, which makes everyone a little 'afraid of difficulties'.

But Zhu Houzhao is not that kind of character, of course it was difficult in the feudal era, and it is not easy to stimulate some vitality under this system, but you can't just admit it.

"This palace has said since the beginning of the prison that any matter must first figure out what the situation is and where the problem is, and if there is a problem, you are not afraid, and you must always find a way to solve it together. Or they should express their opinions and talk about Ma Zheng...... But there is still room for improvement. ”

Ma Zheng in the Ming Dynasty was really difficult.

"Your Highness, will you talk about it first?" Liu Jian is the head of the cabinet, everyone can hide at this time, but he can't hide.
