In the fifth year of Zhengde, the emperor transferred Fei Hong to the governor of Fengyang, but there was no special place, and three years later he entered Beijing and became a servant of the ministry.

Originally, Han Wen Zhishi, Fei Hong was born as a champion after all, plus two governors, so he should be able to take the position of the head of the household, and he entered the cabinet at this time in history.

However, the emperor did not have a 'love' for him.

Fei Hong is good at everything, excellent in learning and doing, talented and vigorous, dedicated to the country, and a major minister, he is also an old minister and an important minister, and he has followed the emperor for many years, when Zhu Houzhao was still in the prince's mansion, he knew Fei Hong.

But he occasionally makes Zhu Houzhao feel that he is more than serious, but not enough.

It's a bit like Cao Shen behind Xiao He, and Shen Shixing behind Zhang Juzheng, but Zhu Houzhao is Xiao who wants Xiao Gui Cao to follow, not Xiao Gui Cao Cao.

There is also a difference between the current year of Zhengde and history,

In history, because of Wuzong's absurdity, many ministers have stayed away from the court, and in the tenth year of Zhengde, Yang Tinghe has been the first assistant of the cabinet.

But now it's different, Yang Yiqing is still there, and even Liu Jian is still active, after them, Wang Shouren, Wang Qiong, Wang Tingxiang, Wang Wei, Zhang Cong, Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Peng Ze, Mao Ji...... It's all there.

Zhu Houzhao himself also cultivated and promoted some ministers.

With so many capable ministers living together, it is already very difficult for Fei Hong to enter the cabinet again.

Therefore, he has been a waiter in the Ministry of Officials for two years, and this year he has been transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and in addition, the academy and the Guozijian also called him concurrently in charge, which is still important, but it is easy to replace a role.

However, Fei Hong himself did not have major flaws, so Zhu Houzhao never thought of replacing him.

It's good for him to go to the Ministry of Rites, when he was in the Zhan Mansion, his boss was Wang Hua, and now nearly twenty years have passed, and the two have reunited.

And back to the governor of Fengyang.

Eight years after Zhengde, the Son of Heaven transferred another person, that is, Song Heng, who was originally a political envoy in Zhejiang, to patrol Fengyang.

Ten years after his accession to the throne, it is inevitable and desirable that a new generation of ministers with more open minds and more active ideas will gradually move to major positions.

At the beginning, Zhu Hou ordered Wang Wei to spread the doctrine that has been applied to the world in the academy and improve the literary style and official atmosphere, and among the officials who came out, Song Heng was the representative.

In addition, there are Zhang Li, Chen Ji, Zhang Chi, etc.

The Fengyang Governor Yamen is in Huai'an.

On this day, Yang Shen, the attendant in the chamber, came to visit, and he took out a note from his cuff, "Song Zhongcheng, the imperial driver has set off from Jinan." At the time of departure, His Majesty strictly ordered all prefectures, prefectures, and counties on the road not to obstruct the people from stopping the sedan chair to complain, and for this reason, His Majesty has already arrested one person in Jinan. I made a special visit today to inform me about this. I also hope that Song Zhongcheng will control his subordinates well, so as not to anger the saint and bring disaster to himself. ”

"Your Majesty's holy decree, how dare you disobey it?" Song Heng didn't dare to be sloppy after hearing this, "This official will convey it." Attendant Yang, in addition to these, does Your Majesty have any other orders? ”

"The matter of the palace, there are salt merchants who have strongly requested it, and His Majesty has already agreed, so Song Zhongcheng doesn't have to worry too much. Huai'an is the junction of the Huai River, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and the Yellow River, and His Majesty has made it clear that he will inspect river affairs. I know what Song Zhongcheng wants to ask, but His Majesty's will can be influenced by who is the courtier, so it is possible to see any section of the river embankment at that time. ”

The governor of Fengyang is also the governor of the river.

He couldn't escape any of this.

Song Heng thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had never joked about such a major matter as the river embankment, so now he could be at peace in his heart, "Thank you Attendant Yang for reminding him." ”

After Yang Shen left, Song Heng immediately ordered his troops to set off.

Before the emperor wanted to see the embankment, he had to look at it again.

There is a bottom, but you can't lie down in the yamen and sleep, otherwise the attitude is wrong.

Unless you are absolutely sure, no matter where the emperor looks, that's fine. To be honest, any normal person will choose to be conservative and go see for himself first.

In ancient times, ministers always had to do everything possible to prevent the emperor from leaving the palace.

One of the reasons is that as it is now, once the emperor goes out, most of the officials everywhere have to jump for a while.

Since Song Heng, the governor of the river, officials from all over the country have asked him to mobilize. Because I don't know which section of the embankment the emperor will look at that time, I can only check them one by one.

That's where leadership inspections come in.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to go all the way to catch people along the way, so he clearly told these people that he was going to inspect the river embankment. In fact, it is necessary for them to check and fill in the gaps and do their work well as soon as possible.

As an emperor, the ultimate goal is to do things well, not to catch a few corrupt officials to vent his emotions, he watched it for ten years in his previous life, and he has been an emperor for ten years in this life, and he has long understood that the corrupt officials in the world are inexhaustible, if you are confined to this every day, then who will do it in the end?

Therefore, the ancient sages also said that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples.

The emperor was basically half-lying in his wide carriage, and the body shook slightly, but he had slowly gotten used to the feeling of not being shocked.

When resting on the side of the road.

Jin Gui and Gu Zuo, who rushed back, reported what they saw to the emperor.

The situation in Shandong is indeed much better, after having sweet potatoes, most of the people can still eat enough, which is a good side.

On the bad side, the squires in various places who are in trouble have not decreased because of the prosperous times, so they can also hear some specific cases where so-and-so's foreign family has a very bad reputation.

Zhu Houzhao stretched his waist and said, "When you weren't there, I also heard that there were bandits in Shandong. In my opinion, this kind of bullying should be eliminated, and I am afraid it will be very difficult. ”

Even in the era in which he lived, these were unavoidable.

"That's why Your Majesty watched the ceremony with the local officials?"

"Not really." Zhu Houzhao's gaze fell on Yang Tinghe on the side, "This matter, you can discuss it with Jiefu when you have time." Oh, by the way, that Guan Yanqing ......"

Wang Bing stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, this Guan Yanqing has carefully understood it, and the minister said that it is not too much to give him the name of a bold maniac." ”

"It's not the one who dares to accuse me, and it's not a cowardly person." Zhu Houzhao chuckled, "Tell me, why is he bold?" ”

"Yes." Wang Bingyi narrowed his eyes, "After this person was an official eunuch, his father went to Henan to study, so he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he always has amazing opinions." Later, he went to the military department to observe politics for one year, and served as Linqu Zhixian for two years, and it has only been a three-year career in the sea so far. He said that the imperial court emphasized material and light etiquette, not to mention the first time, the first day to say, this passage actually has two other sentences, the first is that the literati emphasize Confucius and Mencius and light the miraculous skills, and the second is that the martial arts emphasize the northwest and light the southeast. In other words, the imperial court, civil and military forces have asked him to comment, is this considered bold? ”

"Haha." In the face of this kind of 'great rebellion', the emperor laughed.

It has changed the reality of the Ming Dynasty, and this reality will come back and affect people's minds again. This is the 'material determines spiritualism' in materialist philosophy.

The world is always connected, and the matter that does exist will act on the human spirit.

It can be said that the literati emphasized Confucius and Mencius and neglected strange skills, probably because he saw the development of the real world, such as cross-sea trade, which did require shipbuilding, navigation and even gunpowder.

As long as he is really knowledgeable and dares to think, he will naturally feel that well, it is not enough to rely on Confucius and Mencius. Confucius and Mencius also did not have any theories that could guide future generations on how to develop navigation.

It's bold, it's quite bold when there are no changes in reality, but when matter exists, there will be one or two wonders among the millions of people.

So this Guan Yanqing seems to be accidental, but it is actually inevitable.

It's just that Yang Ting and these old traditions are 'scared' when they hear it, and the emperor asked him to be in charge of this matter, but don't bring him someone like Guan Yanqing, so he said: "Your Majesty, this person's words are shocking, and the minister thinks that he wants to use it, and he must use it carefully." ”

"Ah...... It's a bit of a dilemma. Zhu Houzhao pretended to have a headache, he thought about it carefully, "Although he is indeed a little deviant, but I praised him when I was in Jinan the day before yesterday, and Liu Xixian also said that he can still be an official." So the sudden change at this time always seems to be a reversal, and the people have also lost a good parent, I can't bear it. I don't have to worry too much, he is only a few products, and he can't set off any waves. In this way, how about promoting him to the prefect of Hangzhou? Ah, that's all. ”

The emperor has made up his mind, then there is nothing more to say.

And when Zhu Houzhao turned around to get into the carriage, his face became serious again, and he whispered very seriously to You Ji who bowed his head in front of the carriage: "You write down this person for me, and after a year, see how his prefect behaves, and then send someone to tell me." ”

"Yes."
