"I've heard that you have done something to suppress bandits at sea, and the results are not great, but after all, there is no big loss. It sounds like there is nothing to say about the political achievements that have not been there, but Daming has not been a sailor for many years, from scratch, no loss is a credit. Wang Bo'an, what reward do you want? ”

Wang Shouren was quite flattered.

"Your Majesty, how dare you be rewarded if you have no merit?"

"It's better to reward a little, this year the court has a lot of silver, and you will be rewarded with two thousand silver, not much, and you don't have to refuse strictly. The sea is rough and rough, and it is always dangerous. You were born and died for the court, how can I turn a blind eye? ”

Wang Wei sat on the side, and he could feel the emperor's appreciation for Wang Shouren.

If you really want to talk about it, Zhu Houzhao in the previous life also came into contact with some psychology, and he still sincerely admires Wang Yangming. In this life, he was dissatisfied with Wang Shouren,

Person......

The lifespan is not long.

He was fifty-seven years old.

In the second year of Zhengde, he was already thirty-six years old.

Counting the poor health before his death, it will take a few years to raise him, and Wang Shouren can serve the Ming Dynasty for less than 20 years.

But twenty years later, he, the emperor, was only in his thirties, and he was still in the prime of life, but at that time, there was no Wang Yangming second.

In comparison, many cabinet elders and important ministers in the court are in their sixties and seventies, and they can speak well, so they don't delay things at all.

is even more powerful, like Liu Jian, who lived to be ninety-four years old, and now he is only seventy-five. Zhu Houzhao is ready to put this person in Shandong all the time, Liu Jian is a famous virtuous minister after all, let him govern the people of a place wholeheartedly, and in a few years, Shandong will definitely be rich for a while.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Shouren was dressed in a blue robe, he was on the thin side, and he was on the side of the emperor and Wang Wei at this time.

"Get up, get up." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, "Bo'an, your position in Fujian is about the end of it." Do you have the right person in mind to recommend you? ”

In fact, Zhu Houzhao first thought of letting Wang Shouren train a Ming sailor at sea, and it is not bad to raise the country's prestige in the southeast sea.

But the center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty is still in the north, and the main achievements of the feudal dynasty are on land.

It is really useless to let the dignified Wang Yang catch the thief there tomorrow.

Wang Shouren pondered carefully and said: "Naval affairs are unpredictable, and there must be a shrewd and resolute person with tough means. Your Majesty asked, and Weichen also happened to know one, although this person is a civil official, but he is indeed a strong official! ”

Zhu Houzhao was interested, "Oh? can be called your strong official, I don't think it's in vain. Say it. ”

"Yes. The person recommended by the minister, surnamed Wu Wending, Hongzhi 12 years of Jinshi, awarded Changzhou magistrate, and now serves as a general judge in Changzhou. This man has the strength of his arms, so he bows his horse, talks about generosity, and is a strong man among the ministers. ”

Listening to Wang Shouren's evaluation, Zhu Houzhao had a good impression of this person. But Changzhou was sentenced...... This should be an official position of the sixth grade, which is a little small.

Of course, the duties of the general judge are not easy, and such a six-rank official position needs to deal with litigation cases, tax collection, and maintenance of social order, and in case of war, it also has to undertake the work of conscription.

Think about it again, where do the six products in the Beijing officials have so many heavy responsibilities.

That's why there are new science and technology scholars, and they try their best to avoid the matter of conferring officials.

…… It's okay, Zhu Houzhao thinks it can be regarded as continuing to tilt towards the magistrate. The ability that these people have cultivated is definitely much stronger than that of being in charge of the Sixth Department for a few years, but this kind of official lacks the opportunity to show his head.

Think about the twelfth year of Hongji again.

It turned out that he and Wang Shouren were fellow scholars. Otherwise, there is not even this chance. In fact, now in the Ming Dynasty, there must be many such people.

But there is no way, as an emperor, he really can't remember the names of prefects all over the country, let alone the same knowledge, general judgment and promotion officials in the prefect's yamen.

The official is the seventh grade, and the general judgment is the sixth grade. This Wu Wending has been promoted for so many years.

"Since you recommended it, how can I not believe it? Then I will issue an order to transfer him to the post, as for you, don't leave the capital after the court, I have another appointment. ”

"Wechen obeys!"

At this age, Wang Shouren has grown a beard and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but the skin on his face is not like those old ministers who are drooping down, and there is still the flexibility of young people in his actions.

In his thirties, he had ups and downs before, learned for a few years, and also worked as an official for a few years.

It's about time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao's mind left the chessboard.

"Governor Shuntian, Governor Baoding, or go to Elder Yang Ge to patrol the side, where are you going?"

Yang Yiqing was still in the trilateral general system, controlling the governor of Yansui, the governor of Shaanxi, and the nine general armies of Gan, Liang, Ningxia, Xing'an, and Guyuan.

At the beginning, Yang Yiqing was promoted from the governor of Shaanxi to such a high position as the trilateral general system.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao believes that with this person's ability, even if he was asked to be the governor of Shaanxi a few years ago, it would be fine, and even if he fought with the Tatars, it would not be a losing game.

But at that time, Wang Shouren's official experience was still insufficient, and he basically stayed in Guizhou for a few years. Such a large-span promotion is not good for him himself.

So Zhu Houzhao is forbearance.

Until today, if you endure it any longer, everyone will be forty.

However, what Wang Wei and Wang Shouren didn't expect was that the emperor threw out several options and asked him to choose one of them at will.

This is the true grace. After all, there are people in these positions, which means that the emperor is ready to let several people make way for him.

Wang Shouren knelt down with his official robe, "Your Majesty, the talent of the minister's rotten wood has been so favored by Your Majesty, and I am terrified." And the official position of the court is the public instrument of the country, and the ministers dare not choose arbitrarily. However, with His Majesty's holy will, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, the minister has no regrets. ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little speechless, your name is the talent of the rotten wood?

"I don't want you to go up to the Sword Mountain, and I don't want you to go down to the sea of fire. I want you to choose one of these places. ”

Wang Wei opened his mouth, "Even if Your Majesty wishes, those who are ministers must not obey it." ”

Wang Shouren mustered up some courage, "...... The minister intended to be the governor of Shaanxi. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "You really are still a little interested in military affairs." ”

In the northwest, the Yuan and Qing dynasties separated Shaanxi and Gansu. However, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang merged Shaanxi and Gansu into one province in the second year of Hongwu, and even included parts of Ningxia.

Therefore, the jurisdiction of the governor of Shaanxi is very huge, in fact, it is also because it is too big, and the governors of some border areas far away in Xi'an are too far away at all, and it is difficult to respond in time, so during the Tianshun period, the imperial court set up the governor of Yansui.

In fact, the administrative divisions of the northern Ming Dynasty changed very frequently, because the actual military threat forced the imperial court to constantly adjust, and the nine-sided important towns that were widely spread later also gradually evolved in order to cope with the complex military situation.

Like the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, Zhu Yuanzhang set up and withdrew, withdrew and set up. The governor of Shaanxi is the same, several generations of emperors have kept setting up and then stopping. However, this kind of change has left room for Zhu Houzhao to operate, anyway, the ancestors have been stirring, so he can also change according to the actual situation.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, the northwest at this time was actually still a military frontier, and the imminence of war made it necessary to have high military efficiency.

In the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi was a place with Tatar to the north, Hami to the west, and Duogandusi to the southwest.

Don't mention it first, Hami is about west of Jiayuguan in the Hexi Corridor, where the Ming Dynasty has a military organization, which is the so-called Guanxi Seven Guards. But Hami kept repeating himself, not knowing how many times he had won or lost. The other Kansai Liuwei is no longer as brave as it used to be, and basically has no combat effectiveness.

To put it simply, there is still a need for Central Plains education and appreciation of Central Plains culture.

As for the military and political setup here, he still tends to combine more than divide, and send capable ministers to stabilize the overall situation here.

This kind of military frontier has more collisions with foreign races, and for Zhu Houzhao, he can also relax the reins a little and choose to bear the low-intensity conflict of the border army making its own decisions.

But to achieve this goal, this kind of place needs to put a fierce man.

As a traverser, the greatest joy is here. He may not be able to realize the pleasure of killing the enemy on his own horse, but he can put some fierce men in the place where the changes are the most and the confrontation is the most fierce.

It's best to put one in a strategic area, and you have to knock the Quartet all over the place!

Of course, the governor of Shaanxi does not need to be very brave at this juncture, because he is controlled by Yang Yiqing, the general system of the trilateral, and has a set of national policies in front, and does not independently deal with the pressure of the complex border situation, and when he needs to deal with it independently, he will probably gradually grow up under the leadership of Yang Yiqing.

At this point, Zhu Houzhao can't do more. In the early stage, he was looking for Wang Yue to take him, in the middle of the period, he was looking for Wang Wei to take him, and now he was looking for Yang Yiqing to take him.

In two or three years at most, Zhu Houzhao will push him to the front desk, and he will see whether it is time to torture the enemy or torture him, the emperor.

"I remember that when you were not a jinshi, you ran out of the fortress on your own. Now, I'll hand over the northwest side to you, and you can play as you please. However, the official decree will wait until after the Great Pilgrimage. When the time comes, it will be adjusted with the public. ”

"Yes, Weichen takes the order."

Wang Shouren's appointment was very fast. Because the governor is already an important member of the party. But fortunately, this guy was famous for suppressing bandits in Fujian, and he was already shocked at that time, and he did not have a fixed position in the Fujian Governor's Office, in fact, he belonged to the role of 'assistant to the governor', although the grade was not high, but the power was very great, and he could be seen in many things.

Wang Wei is also the emperor, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and he has transcendent power in the court, and he is such a powerful person around him, in fact, many big people know it.

He didn't mention this, his old father Wang Hua was also very popular in the court, and the main officials would not chase him too much.

On the way out of the palace, Wang Shouren himself was a little confused.

He used to be an official in the governor's office, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to take charge of a yamen himself.

Red walls on both sides, a straight road. Middle-aged people and middle-aged people walked side by side,

“…… Why is it so silent? Do you feel like you have too much weight on your shoulders? ”

Wang Shouren couldn't deny it, "My subordinates are indeed a little afraid of disappointing His Majesty's great kindness. When the ministry first ascended to the high position, did you feel like this? ”

"Yes, yes."

"That'...... How did the ministry get over this hurdle? ”

"You might as well do the things of this world. No matter how big the matter is, no matter how difficult it is, it can't beat the four words of openness. Wang Wei stretched out his hand and gestured, "You think, as long as you are open-minded, it is nothing more than death." If you are not afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of? ”

Wang Shouren asked himself, what is his heart open?

When he thought about it, it was just eight words: do your best, and then die.
