Imperial.

Zhu Yijun walked on a green path, and the sunlight could not penetrate the branches and leaves, making his surroundings look a little gloomy.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Zhenji and others had already left, and Zhang Whale was the only one by his side, with low eyebrows and obedient eyes, humbly and respectfully following behind.

It's very quiet.

Such an environment allows Zhu Yijun to calm down and ponder carefully.

"Now that Qingzhang Tianmu has achieved results, as long as it can continue, the Ming Dynasty will eventually become stronger, and there will definitely be no such thing as Shenzhou Lu Shen and Hu Fishy Theft of the Central Plains in the future. But the princes of the Ming Dynasty may not care about these, and some people are more concerned about their own gains and losses. ”

Zhu Yijun said secretly in his heart.

He can clearly remember how some scholars and bureaucrats knelt down to greet them after the death of the Ming Dynasty, and how the Southern Ming Dynasty died and had to fight among themselves.

After all, in the cognition of these people, scholars have always shared the world with the emperor. Even if the dynasty is changed, it is just that the emperor changes his surname, and they change one person to continue to share the world, which is not a big deal.

"Qingzhang's reform touches the interests of this part of the people, fortunately, there is a gentleman in the front, clearing many obstacles, and bearing all the pressure, otherwise it is impossible to reform just by me, a young man. However, these people should not be pushed too hard. What I want to do now is to show grace to the officials, so that they will have hope and not be hysterical. ”

Zhu Yijun thought in his heart, while he had already walked out of this green path, the sun shone on his body again, and the warmth suddenly swept away the original shade.

He looked up at the sun in the sky, bright and warm.

In this autumn, when it is starting to get colder, the sun is always warm, especially when you have just stepped out of the cold paths.

Presumably, some people also think that the current Qingzhang reform is just a short shady path, and sooner or later they will go out to get rid of the current shade and usher in the warm sunshine. In their view, all they had to do was wait, for the Son of Heaven's sun to shine 'cool', and then everything would be back to its original state. ”

Zhu Yijun said secretly in his heart, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.

Just let them wait!

Wait for the Son of Heaven to grow up, and wait for the Son of Heaven to recruit himself.

Wait for the sun to hang high!

……

Hai Jui's home.

In a simple courtyard, an old woman is sewing clothes.

In her old age, she could no longer see clearly, and her eyes were dizzy, but she still seriously sewed and mended her son's clothes with stitches and threads.

His son has always been famous for his uprightness, and he has never been in the same league as corrupt officials, so his family is naturally poorer.

Even if he is now restored by the emperor's grace, he is still the same as before, the same uprightness, the same poverty, and he doesn't even have a few clothes all year round.

As a mother, she always wants her son to dress decently.

But she's happy too.

As long as the son can realize the revenge in his heart, can uphold his consistent belief, and live as Hai Gangfeng, it is enough.

What's the point of being poorer?

At this time, the gate of the courtyard opened, and Hai Rui walked in from the outside, holding a wooden box in his hand, which seemed to be quite valuable.

Hai Rui's mother was overjoyed when she saw her son coming back, but when she saw the wooden box in his hand and the red silk faintly peeking out of it, she immediately made the old man's heart chuckle.

She was in a hurry, so she immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand for a while, and wanted to get up directly.

But her old body has not been so strenuous for a long time, and her long-term poverty life has also made her body a little weak, and she will fall to the ground if she does not stand firmly.

"Mother!" Seeing this, Hai Rui exclaimed, he didn't even care about the wooden box in his hand, he left it on the ground, rushed over directly to support the old man, and said eagerly, "Mother, what are you doing?" ”

"Alas!" The old man leaned on his son and sighed, although she did not fall, her body was trembling, her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but finally she only closed her eyes, pointed to the wooden box that was thrown on the ground just now, and said sadly, "Son, where did you get these things?" ”

By this time, the wooden box had been broken apart, and the red silk inside was spread on the ground, and inside it was a whole five sticks of fine ginseng.

Hai Rui was worried about his mother, so he didn't think too much about it, and said truthfully: "This is bought to honor you." ”

"Buy?" The old man was even more sad when he heard this, took a deep breath, grabbed his son's arm, and sighed, "Son, send it back, my mother doesn't need this, don't make mistakes for my mother!" ”

She knows that ginseng has always been precious, and good quality will be sold for a sky-high price.

As well as his own son's little money, it is impossible to afford so many good ginseng.

But now I really bought it.

Then there is only one explanation......

"Mother, you misunderstood." Hai Rui also understood at this time, and hurriedly began to explain.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked back by the old man, "Send it back, my mother doesn't listen to your excuses, such a thing must not start!" ”

"Mother, this is a gift from the Son of Heaven, do you want me to send it back?" Hai Rui couldn't laugh or cry.

"Heaven, the gift of the Son of Heaven?" The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at the ginseng on the ground, and then at his son, and said in surprise, "Heavenly Son Longen, why are there so many rewards?" ”

"And that's only part of the story." Hai Rui helped his mother to sit down on the side, and explained with a smile, "The Son of Heaven is benevolent, and he is grateful that the reform of Qingzhang is not easy, so he wants to reward us and other reformist officials, and reward the officials who carry out the work with the first level of dispersion, and give double taels below the prefecture and county, three taels above the Taoist platform, 10,000 taels of silver for the governor and the chief soldier, and 20,000 taels of silver for the governor and above." The governor of the southeast of the child can also get 20,000 taels of silver, and the saint does not allow the child to refuse, saying that only if the child receives it, others dare to receive the reward. ”

"The Son of Heaven is kind." The old man couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, his hanging heart finally let go, and told Hai Rui, "Son, since you have received the grace of the Son of Heaven, you must continue to be loyal to your duties in the future and share your worries for the Son of Heaven." You have no father since you were a child, you are like a father, you are your father, this is what I said to you, you can't forget it. ”

"I didn't dare to forget." Hai Rui smiled, looked in the direction of the Forbidden City, and knelt down.

Then, Hai Rui came to the kitchen and patted his wife on the shoulder with his hand, who was burning the fire in the kitchen.

The sea wife looked up: "What's the matter?" ”

"For you!"

Hai Rui took out a pair of jade bracelets from his sleeve, "I don't know what you like, I just bought this for you." ”

The sea wife couldn't hide her joy: "For me?" ”

Hai Rui smiled and nodded.

Umizuma: "Get out, the kitchen is not your place." ”

……

During the Wanli period, the post station system of the Ming Dynasty had not yet been abandoned, so the edict of the reward reform officials was quickly issued.

Such a large-scale reward is simply unprecedented.

In the face of real rewards, even the officials who had complained about the reform of Qingzhang in the past, but were reluctant to obey the orders of the superiors, were full of joy, and even began to think about how to reform Qingzhang better in the future, thinking that they would seek more benefits.

For those officials who are upright and honest, and who implement the reform policy of the Qing Dynasty to the letter, such a generous reward has solved their urgent needs, and many of the difficulties that were usually difficult to solve are now solved, and even their daily life can be a little more decent.

Of course, what is more important is that they saw the attitude of the Son of Heaven, the hope of the future of the country, and the era when they could do their best and die!

At this time, Wang Yongji, who was patrolling Baoding, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart after getting the news, and came directly to the house of Governor Yan Qing.

When Yan Qing saw Wang Yongji, he smiled and said, "Why is Brother Wang's face full of joy?" ”

"Needless to say?" Wang Yongjihaha laughed and said, "The reign of the Holy Son of Heaven is a sign of prosperity, how can you be dissatisfied and rejoice?" ”
