Chapter 579: The Way of Checks and Balances
Wang Zhi entered the palace, and the eldest son of Chengguo asked Wei Ningbo to recommend to the emperor, which still has to be said.
Originally, it was not easy to talk about it directly, because Cheng Guogong now has a faint tendency to be the head of the British ministers, and it is always not good to offend directly.
However, Wang Zhi is still smart, she borrowed Zhu Lin's testimony and said: "Now most of the ministers have not returned to the legacy of their ancestors, and Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and they can always see accurately." However, the children of the family are one with the royal family, and they still have the heart to be loyal to the emperor. The eldest son of the Chengguo Mansion, didn't he make a contribution? ”
Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and asked with some doubts: "What does Zhi'er want to say?" ”
The girl also said bluntly, "Please forgive your majesty." There are some things that are difficult to talk about in Wellingborough. It is...... Zhu Shizi also went to the house, brought a few friends, and had a good conversation with the second brother. ”
"Oh. That's it. Zhu Houzhao smiled, basically understanding what was going on.
"In this matter, Wei Ningbo Mansion has shown cowardice and selfishness, please punish Your Majesty."
There is nothing to be angry about this kind of thing, the courtiers are difficult to do, and it is normal to explain the difficulties to the emperor, and don't let people talk about it, will the courtiers do it blindly in the future?
Zhu Houzhao dragged a long voice, showing a little tired in front of Wang Zhi, "It's okay...... Get up. ”
The girl must have bathed before entering the palace, and her thick hair was washed soft and shiny, and a few strands of hair fell on her cheeks and swayed back and forth with her movements, showing the delicacy of her skin.
"Your Majesty, but do you have something on your mind?"
"Nothing." The emperor waved his hand, "I just think that I have to appoint a few people, but the human heart is so complicated." Why do you think I want to ask Werningberg to recommend talents at this time? ”
"Your Majesty treats Wei Ningbo Mansion with kindness, this is the blessing of my second brother and the Wang family, as for why...... I don't know what Your Majesty means. ”
Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and smiled, "I once heard a discussion of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. It is said that the Yellow River must be treated when it is flooded, and the Yangtze River must be treated when it is flooded. ”
The girl still didn't understand.
"Clean up the military camp and dispose of the clan...... This is not something that can be solved by a few holy decrees, and I, the emperor, are actually sitting above the civil and military officials, and I have to rely on them, but I can't allow them to stand alone. ”
Wang Zhi's eyes changed slightly, so it was.
It is said that Emperor Zhengde will not do things at will, and it is true.
The emperor's meaning is very clear, the disposal of the clan requires the strength of civil officials, because they have the 'truth' in their hands, and the biggest obstacle and consequence of the affairs of the clan is etiquette.
Now that Li Mengyang has made a generous statement, Qingliu has the upper hand in the court, and Li Mengyang is followed by thousands of scholars.
But the power of the civil servants must also be suppressed.
That's why the lords are needed.
Chengguo Gong and Wei Ningbo are not enough, and Pinghai Bo and Jingyubo are newly sealed and have no background.
In the final analysis, this is the check and balance of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, although my second brother is loyal and honest, he is loyal, even if he lacks ability, he can always rub a little bit of grandpa's thin noodles, but Your Majesty is in need, and the whole Weiningbo Mansion will definitely help Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, "The intention is good, you brothers and sisters trust me." But if you don't like to hear it, whether it's the Beijing camp or the border army, if I wait for the second brother to play a key role, then ......"
Then this emperor doesn't have to do it.
But he didn't say the last half of the sentence, just gave a special look.
Wang Zhi could also see that she wanted to laugh and was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty Mingjian." ”
In fact, the emperor has already arranged it, and now that Wenchen and Xunchen are on the rise at the same time, everything is still under control.
Zhu Houzhao patted his thigh, "Don't talk about these boring things, it's rare for you to enter the palace and play chess with me, right?" As for the matter of Cheng Guogong, you let Wang Xuan recommend it as usual, whether you appoint it or not, that's my business, it's okay, right? ”
"Do the Holy Commandment!"
The mind is gone, and this sentence is much happier to say.
The emperor also instructed You Di on the side, "Go and bring a copy of the "Records of Filial Piety." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I remember that in the fifth year of Hongzhi, the filial piety temple edict said: Taimiao deserves to enjoy all meritorious heroes, and its gifters are all the emperor's ancestors to calm the world and have great merit. And the children and grandchildren may not touch an inch, and they will be reduced to gangsters. I can't bear it, so I can ask for his heirs, give an official, and worship the ancestors. When the recommendation comes, I can imitate the edict of the first emperor, so that the name is justified, and this matter can be done. ”
"Your Majesty's mind is unparalleled, and Zhi'er sincerely obeys."
Zhu Houzhao was a little complacent, as if he had formed a sense of accomplishment, and he was also happy in his heart.
Between the square chessboards, the two pinched black and white and played against each other.
……
……
December is the season of ice and snow, and the further north you go, the colder it gets. This kind of season should have been a good time for the festival, and the lieutenant generals and colonels who had a good life were all drinking two or two wines, cutting a few catties of fat meat, avoiding the howling wind and snow, and trying not to even go out.
Not this year, though.
The imperial court came to the holy decree, to settle the general account, the army in the past to occupy the field must be reported quickly, after the report is completed, it is handed over.
This is no small matter.
From the commander and the thousands of households, to the general banner of hundreds of households, none of the people up and down are living on such a small military salary, and now the imperial court wants to attack this piece, how can this be done?
Jizhou Town is the east gate of the Beijing Division, after Jizhou is the north of the North China Plain, if Jizhou is broken, then the east of the Beijing Division is no danger to defend. Therefore, during the Hongwu period, this area was very valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, but it was the Daning Capital Division that was set up at that time.
The scale of soldiers and horses in Jizhou Town is also relatively large among the nine sides, and only Datong and Xuanfu can be compared with it. The more famous Jizhou general soldier in history is the later national hero Qi Jiguang.
Different from the first seven guards in Ningxia, Jizhou Town has more than 20 large and small guards, more than 200 various defense castles, and the scale of soldiers has reached more than 80,000 people.
Later generations have examined a certain period, the number of soldiers is about 50,000, in modern terms, this important military town, the full strength rate of the army is less than 70%, which is still a bird war.
However, the generals here don't think so, after all, after accumulating some wealth, there are still people under their hands.
“…… A few days ago, several commanders took turns to find General Yang, the court can clear the tun, but it can't be clear, the brothers braved the wind and snow to guard the Tartars here, and the last eldest son can't get it, the truth is not like this. But it didn't work. Yang Zongbing followed when His Majesty was still the prince, and in the second year of Zhengde, the army said that His Majesty wanted to knight Yang Zongbing if he thought of a way, and in the end he was stunned that the credit was not enough. ”
"I really don't know which dog officer came up with a bad idea. Help the emperor reach out to the border town to make money, just watch, something must happen. ”
Speaking of accidents, the big man asked the chief to kick him.
"If you want to say this, don't say it in our Zuotun guards, go and say it elsewhere!"
Dahan was aggrieved, "I didn't say it first. ”
The person on the other side of him said, "Zhao Qianhu, there is indeed this saying outside, and now the General Military Mansion has sent more people to measure it all over the country, and when it reaches someone's land, no one will say anything and take it away, and if someone speaks, they will ask if they want to pay it, this kind of practice is very resentful!" ”
"What can you do if you are angry?!"
Although Yang Shangyi is not a god general of Qi Jiguang's level, he is not a pustule, he has already started training soldiers after he arrived in Jizhou, he is a popular man in front of the emperor, there is no harm in following him, and there is also a group of people around him to guard, these troops that can be called 'descendants' are obviously a lot more serious these days.
"With Ningxia in front of you, do you think the above are all fools? All eyes wide open, this time to be strong? Don't die fast enough?! ”
The wind and snow are very strong,
Yang Shangyi's mind is also very heavy.
The number of people coming and going in the General Military Office has not been reduced by the wind and snow.
The people below are right, it is not them who are most nervous during this time, but the General Military Mansion, the holy decree cannot be disobeyed, but bad things cannot come out, it is not easy.
How can Yang Shangyi, as the chief soldier, relax?
"How? Is there anyone who obstructs measuring? ”
Behind him, there was a warrior kneeling on one knee, "...... Yes. ”
