Chapter 320: Patrol
In essence, Zhu Houzhao is not a person who is willing to start a war, and if he can use the policy of Huairou to achieve great national reconciliation, then he is willing.
But since the Tumubao, although the Ming Dynasty also had a small victory over the Tatars, it was still generally defeated and won less, and the border areas continued to shrink, and the Chenghua period could still control the Hetao and Liaodong, and then quickly retreated.
There is a common sense in military and political theory that the weak are not qualified to stand for peace.
Only by reminding the Tatars of the military might of the Ming Dynasty a hundred years ago, when they said such things as peace on the border, others could take it seriously.
And the little Tatar prince is not a mediocre lord, he is trying his best to unify Mongolia, even if he comes to sue for peace at this time, but the wolf's ambition must be to gain strength first, and he even wants to enter the Central Plains when he has the opportunity.
So he didn't have a choice, and Emperor Zhengde also won a battle in history, otherwise the situation at the border would be even more severe.
Let him come now, and he will do it more thoroughly, either make peace or kill them. You can't spend money on small amounts, things can't be done well, and money is wasted.
So this million should be given up.
As soon as the emperor's words came out, the cabinet, the military aircraft department, and the six ministries and nine secretaries were quite calm, if a smart person knew that this had already been decided.
There was silence in the Fengtian Temple,
Zhu Houzhao continued: "Although one million taels seems to be a lot, this year Ningxia Town will buy an additional 20,000 war horses, each horse will cost 200,000 taels of silver, and this alone will cost 400,000 silver!" What's more, I heard that after a few hands of the silver going out of me, it would be good to have half of the money that was actually used for the set. ”
This was said softly, but in fact, there was a hidden murderous motive, and all the ministers from top to bottom knelt down.
"I, am you wrong?"
The emperor's inquiry actually represents a kind of affirmation.
In fact, the so-called administrative costs usually include these, looking at the country's money, but in fact, it is exploited layer by layer, and in the end, the key point is far from that number.
Yang Yiqing spoke up, "The so-called porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and it is difficult to think about the material resources of half a thread and half a thread. The taxes of the imperial court are all the people's fat and the people's ointment, Your Majesty, the three sides of the northwest are from the ministers, if there is greed for ink and silver, but it is found that no matter whether they are close or near, the ministers will not be spared! ”
Zhu Houzhao has a kind of anger and helplessness about the corruption of officials. But that doesn't mean he'll admit it. Because the more you recognize, the more serious it becomes.
"Cabinet, after the Great Dynasty meeting, the officials of the world. In this court meeting, the court discussed major matters related to the country and the people, and the silver taels allocated were also related to whether the national policy of the court could be implemented smoothly. No matter how corrupt officials and officials in various places are on weekdays, those who dare to touch the silver of the imperial court will not be spared! ”
"I also know that when so much silver comes out, everyone is hot, and even the nobles have to keep an eye on this silver. Today, our monarchs and ministers will make it clear here, no matter who it is! You are not allowed to stretch out your hand to satisfy your greed for this money in private. The celebrant is the same, Liu Jin, you have to take care of your own people! ”
The emperor spoke very harshly.
Liu Jin's heart trembled, knelt down and said, "The slave maid obeys His Majesty's will." The people in the palace are not so bold. ”
"But they are greedy!" Zhu Houzhao showed no mercy, "This matter does not matter whether it is a minister or a foreign minister, I will treat everyone equally." Yang Aiqing, "
"The minister is here!"
"In the northwest, I give money and horses to people, and the burden of recovering is also on your shoulders. This million taels of silver will be handed directly into your hands, and you must watch it. If the matter fails, and you tell me that the silver has been misappropriated, I will not admit this truth. Do you understand? ”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister understands the severity. Come to think of it, the Ming Dynasty, from the imperial family to the noble stomach and down to the common people, can know His Majesty's ambition to prosper the world, and there will never be an unfilial person who will come here to open his mouth. ”
Zhu Houzhao does not believe in such mere lip service.
"Where is the Imperial History of the Left Vice-Capital?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister is here!"
This is an old minister who is as hard as a stone, and there are many people in this world who sell his reputation and reputation, but Zhang Maozhi's incorruptibility is still true.
Zhu Houzhao is sometimes curious, and will find a few brocade guards and tell them to see what kind of life the old man is doing.
As a result, this person was indeed a clean official, after all, there were rumors of entertaining guests with tribute before this promotion. For such a person, Zhu Houzhao sometimes has a headache, killing, reluctant, no, it's annoying to kill.
For example, when he chases after the birth of the prince, he has to play even if he dies.
But sometimes it can be useful.
"In the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, I ordered the establishment of Shaofu, and you went to Zhejiang with the household department to supervise, and the results were very good. I want to appoint you again this time to supervise whether the whereabouts of this million silver taels are legal, do you dare to accept it? ”
Wow.
The old man Zhang Mao teased his official robe, like a spiritual climax, "The minister reads the book of the sages, and those who do it will be the Ming Dynasty!" Your Majesty is entrusted with a heavy task, and the minister is only dead! ”
In fact, Zhang Mao is particularly energetic in doing this, firstly, it is in line with his values, and secondly, it is actually an honor.
Everyone will order something, he doesn't want wealth, he doesn't want power, all he cares about is his name.
The emperor is Mingjun, and Mingjun uses him to prevent his hands from going up and down, how will the history books record him?
So Zhang Mao doesn't care how the people of the world slander, he is fighting for the name of the world!
"That being the case, I intend to transfer personnel from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jinyi Wei to temporarily partner and implement the inspection system. Leave the rest alone for the time being, it's the silver two that is related to the national policy, I just want to see if anyone has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to reach out here! ”
This is Emperor Zhengde.
The Fengtian Hall is full of old people who have experienced the Hongzhi Dynasty.
Everyone knows what the character of Emperor Hongji is. Now, times have changed.
With such a tone, such a tone, and even a little wayward temper, he made a temporary new arrangement...... In fact, it is somewhat immature.
But they were also people who knew the emperor.
When was the emperor immature to do things?
Fear is only afraid, emotions are also part of the wrist, that is, to show everyone that a rational emperor has shown a lot of irrationality in this matter.
in other words
Really cut off the head,
And don't blame me when you cut off your head,
Because I have already told you that labor and management are losing their temper.
Jinyi Wei Mu Bin, Mao Wenwen, and Han Ziren also came.
At this time, Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also said, "Your Majesty, since we are partners, do we need the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to act together?" ”
"Not necessarily." Zhu Houzhao didn't seem to think about it and refused, "I have sentenced the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, if someone stretches out this hand, it will be a capital crime." In short, the words have been made clear and clear, if anyone does not give me face, when the plea is not allowed, do not say that I will not give you face. ”
At the end of the issue, I didn't expect such a thing to be discussed, and many people didn't expect it.
So much so that the matter of how to implement the military cantonment in the Hetao area after the re-establishment has been ignored to a certain extent, after all, it is one million taels, and according to the usual practice, you can take a little ......
Regardless of the outcome, the court announced that the first day of the court meeting was very smooth and successful, the ministers expressed their opinions, and the emperor listened patiently and chose the best, and everything was peaceful.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the officials of the various ministries did not want to go home, but gathered together again.
Not to mention others, even Yang Shangyi, Zhou Shangwen and others related to the complex set will gather in the Yang Mansion, and the emperor allocated silver and silver, but did not say how to use and distribute the silver taels. Therefore, the specific implementation is actually in the hands of Yang Yiqing.
This is the emperor's habit always, setting the direction and putting it into practice, as long as you get it and don't make a big mess, you can receive rewards in the Qianqing Palace. In fact, this placed very high demands on officials who directly obeyed the emperor's orders.
Just like Wang Wei who went to Fujian, Yang Yiqing also has a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Therefore, at night, the Yang Mansion was full of people and the lights were bright, and no official related to the complex set could go to the hook column early to listen to the music, and no one could go home and sleep peacefully.
Only Zhang Mao was invited by Yang Yiqing, and the others came to the door by themselves.
“…… At the moment, there are two things that the old man feels must be done first. One is to suppress the set, the imperial court has established a policy of suppressing the set in the spring, so I will actively organize the army after I return to the northwest, Yang and Zhou are both generals of a hundred battles, and this matter is not a problem. But when the army is pulled, it needs military pay and dry food. ”
Yang Yiqing leaned towards Zhang Mao, who was sitting on his left.
The old man's expression was stiff, and he stroked his beard and said, "Old Yang Ge has the heavy responsibility of resuming the set, and the silver is a flower." The old man only needs to see the accounts. ”
"Good."
"What about the two generals?"
Yang Shangyi and Zhou Shangwen both replied: "It is incumbent. ”
Of course, although Yang Shangyi is the general soldier of Ningxia, he does not have the strong army in Zhou Shangwen's hands. It's just that how to march is a matter of specific strategy, and we can talk about it in the barracks.
"The second thing is the war horse." Yang Yiqing faced the prince of Taifu Temple again, "In the first year of Zhengde, the imperial court will expand the cavalry by 10,000, and the number of officials and pastors is limited, the old man knows, but even if it is good to exchange tea for horses, he also asks Taifu Temple to send the war horse to Ningxia as soon as possible, and the silver taels required are also spent from the appropriation of the imperial court." ”
Without horses, everything is on paper. Anyway, he has money now, so he is not afraid.
"Please rest assured, most of the Hui'an Garden can be restored this year, plus Anding Garden, the war horses raised in the two upper gardens are all in the northwest first."
"Thank you."
Although Yang Yiqing was under a lot of pressure, he actually felt refreshed, because at least there were not so many strange people and things in the court.
In this situation, even if someone has any selfish intentions, he will definitely not dare to stumble on him, and the emperor supports him, which is the biggest help. As for the person who secretly released cold arrows, he Yang Yiqing has been in the officialdom for 30 years, is there still less encounter?
When it comes to specific implementation, the details can be talked about at a macro level. But no matter how much it is, Zhu Houzhao's task as emperor has been completed.
At this time, he had already appeared in the Yongshou Palace, and after tasting the taste that day, it was always unforgettable for a while, especially at night, when it was easy to flash the picture in his mind.
It's really fun because of this, and it's the first subject of unique romance - if you really have a harem, you still feel different.
The main thing is that he has always had a knot in his heart,
So I plan to look for an opportunity to fight again after the state is adjusted today.
After getting rid of the first shock, his performance is much better today, otherwise he would have to call the imperial doctor.
The Mei sisters didn't understand the psychology of the men in it, and they felt that the emperor was slowly liking them, so they were more willing to spend more time, only blaming them for being weak and weak.
】
Zhu Houzhao listened to the sound of gasping, and his heart was happy.
Because his physical strength is good, after all, he often exercises, so after passing the novice level, his ability still can't be hidden, but the two girls are raised in the deep boudoir, and they never get started with rough and heavy work, so they naturally can't stand it.
Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at it, and saw that on Huaiyan's white forehead, sweat was dripping, and the black silk hair was also close to the skin because of the water, her lips were slightly open, and she kept panting roughly, and there were beautiful lines between the bumps of the futon.
"Huaiyan, you have to go and wash."
The little girl was also obedient, and when she heard this, she was about to get up before she could rest, but fortunately, the emperor pulled her, "Let's rest first." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty has mercy."
Huaixiao also hid in the crook of her arm, she looked at her sister's expression and had a slight superfluous thought, and after two times, she felt that the emperor might like her sister more.
Huaiyan is soft and glutinous, and she listens to whatever she says, probably not like her.
But after thinking about it, Huaiyan listened to the emperor's words and listened to her, and the two were sisters, one was prosperous and the other was lost, but it was nothing.
In fact, she guessed correctly, but when she first came into contact, for Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, they were quite obedient, as for the character, the time was still short, and she couldn't see it, the main reason was actually that her sister had longer legs.
On the second day,
Zhu Houzhao, who untied the knot in his heart and showed his majestic style, was in good spirits.
According to the topic set earlier, today we want to talk about river engineering, that is, the construction of water conservancy.
For him, he is not professional at all in building water conservancy, the only thing he needs to decide is how much silver taels he is ready to allot, and in addition, the money of the household department must only be enough for one place to repair the river, so he also needs to choose where to choose.
Such a pattern is indeed not difficult for the emperor, but in private, the governors of various places are fighting hard, after all, the complex has nothing to do with many people, and the river workers are different.
Zhejiang Wang Wei wants it, he is the emperor, but when it comes to silver, others will not just give up.
And Shandong Liu Jian is not lagging behind, the emperor is still promoting him,
In addition, Sichuan Fei Hongqing is famous, and he is always Jane's minister in the emperor's heart, and the reputation of the country of abundance can also make the imperial court's money worthwhile. The rest such as Ying Tianfu He Jian is the accompanying capital, and the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is still there; Ni Yuanqi, the governor of Henan, felt that the trouble of the Yellow River was of great importance, and the imperial court discussed the river construction but did not repair the Yellow River, which has not been the case since ancient times.
But the river work is always like that, and this is a matter of contention.
