"Do you know what I like about you?"

Zhu Yijun suddenly asked with a smile.

Li Rusong replied: "I don't know. ”

"Just dare to tell the truth!"

"In terms of strategy, you are not as good as Chen Lan; In terms of coordination, you are not as expensive as hemp; But only sincerity is far better than these two! Fortunately, it is more accessible than Liu Ling. ”

Zhu Yijun said, "Tell me, why do you say that about your father?" ”

Li Rusong replied: "Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult since ancient times, not to mention that if the minister does not expose it, waiting for others to expose it, it will only trap the father in a more dangerous situation, and the minister takes the initiative to expose it before he makes a big mistake, which is to do his best to protect the name of the father, and the minister is not a foolish and filial piety!" ”

Therefore, instead of hiding the sins of his father, it is better to make his father's mistakes and protect his name! Furthermore, the minister believes that His Majesty is the prince of the Holy Wisdom, just as His Majesty believes in the minister, and he will not believe in the minister because of the fault of his father. ”

Zhu Yijun nodded with a fixed expression: "I see that you are not only sincere, but also turned over and fought, Xu Wei really has some ability." ”

Zhu Yijun said: "Passing on the decree, Xu Wei is allowed to enter the Jinyi Guard, with his former anti-Japanese and Xingming Academy's efforts to raise the orphans of loyal martyrs, give Jinyiwei the command of the envoy, and set up a lecture department in Jinyiwei, which is headed by Xu Wei, to teach the Jinyiwei official school to clarify what is the orthodox concept of governing the country, and to learn the new rites!" ”

Li Rusong hurriedly crawled on the ground: "Thank Your Majesty for Enfu!" ”

"Get up."

Zhu Yijun said a word, and said: "Jinyiwei should also strengthen education, and also need to be aware of the concept of governance, it is not enough to talk about loyalty!" ”

"After all, people have opinions, and if they don't let Jinyiwei have a clear understanding of the new ceremony, they really think that the construction of the new ceremony is just a matter for civil officials, is it that civil officials are Han people, so they should know the national righteousness?"

Zhu Yijun is talking about Cheng Ying, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei who was arrested and brought to Beijing.

Because after Cheng Ying was interrogated, she also took the initiative to confess why she didn't pay attention to the investigation of the implementation of the new ceremony.

According to Cheng Ying, he was mainly because of his lack of understanding of the importance of the new rites, so he was fooled by Wu Shanyan and other Confucian scholars into thinking that the implementation of the new rites was really Shen Shixing and other rulers, and he took advantage of the emperor's characteristics of great joy and great achievements to make money, and even admired Wu Shanyan's set of science that preserves heavenly principles, destroys human desires, and emphasizes morality, and even worships Wu Shanyan as a teacher.

This made Zhu Yijun more aware of the importance of the ideological field.

Therefore, he had to strengthen the ideological education of Jinyiwei, and let Jinyiwei officials also receive ideological training just like setting up a ruling school.

Not long after, Wu Shanyan and Li Zongcai were sentenced for forming a party to seek profit for profiteers and not effectively implementing the new policy, and for serving in the battalion and destroying the country's armament.

Wu Shanyan took the initiative to confess, so he kept the whole body and was sentenced to be hanged.

Li Zongcai was sentenced to be beheaded because he still left his post without permission, and when he was an official, he went to Jiangnan to meet the gentry privately without asking for instructions, and he did not report it.

"Execution!"

A few days later, the two were ordered to be executed at the West Market Archway.

When Wu Shanyan was put on a rope and began to be hanged, he only cried and shouted to the officials and gentry who were watching the execution: "How can the princes tolerate the fact that the military ministers have the right to tell the truth?!" ”

As soon as Wu Shanyan finished speaking, his throat was tightened, and he couldn't speak anymore.

At the same time, Li Zongcai was also separated by a knife, and the blood flowed on the spot.

"That's what he said?"

And Wu Shanyan's words soon reached Zhu Yijun's ears through Zhang Whale's mouth.

Zhang Whale arched his hand and replied, "Yes." ”

"This old guy still has a lot of complaints about Li Rusong!"

"Well, pass on my will, and let the Imperial Secretary draft a decree to local civil officials and clans, relatives, and famous eunuchs to also issue secret performance rights, so that there will be more people they need to endure, at least not only Li Rusong!"

Zhu Yijun said at this time.

"Yes!"

And after Li Rusong met Qi Jiguang in Beijing next, he went north to the border town.

At this time, the nine sides are already treacherous.

Stir-fried flowers and rabbits and other captives are ready to invade the border, and only wait for the crisp autumn season to come.

Although the Xiaoice climate phenomenon began to appear, it was not so obvious in the early Wanli period, so the summer was still a little hot, especially when it was necessary to move, and summer was still not suitable for conquest for people and horses in the grassland.

Therefore, the fried flowers and the rabbit did not directly choose Koubian after going back, and launched a provocation against the Ming Dynasty who began to respect the Han and degrade it.

Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Jiliao, and Zheng Luo, the governor of Xuanda, also took advantage of this summer to deal with the border problems that may arise after the construction of Xinli.

First of all, in terms of the preparation and training of border people, the governors of border towns and the general garrison did not dare to slack off, and the imperial court had already allocated a large amount of materials, money and food to the border fortress.

Dongsheng Zuowei, Liujiakou.

Han Yingchen, the brother of Han Yinggeng, the elder brother of Yushi Han Yinggeng, who had just been asked by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to replace Li Zongcai to patrol Shandong, took 300 border soldiers and more than a dozen mule carts on this day to stop more than a dozen military households who were crossing the Qinglong River.

Han Yingchen asked these military households: "Where are you from, where are you going?" ”

At this time, a young and strong military household named Liu Di replied first: "Back to the official, we are going to Kaiping to recruit to build Guantai, I have a cousin there, I heard him say that there is work there and you can earn a lot of money." ”

"Damn, you're all gone, so what are we battalion guards only guarding your land?!"

Han Yingchen walked over scoldingly.

Liu Di said with a bitter face: "This land is getting more and more difficult to plant year by year, the frost period is getting longer and longer, what do you want everyone to do, we haven't been selected as battalion soldiers, we can't be hungry all the time, besides, isn't the imperial court now abolishing the road guide, and everyone is allowed to go to various places to work and contribute to the country, we stay here, it will only drag you down, and you won't need to consume your military food in the disaster year?" ”

Because of the climate, the output of many land in the border towns is indeed declining sharply, so the main income of many officers is no longer the income of the annexed border fields, but the income from empty salaries.

After all, Biantian's income is so small, even if the imperial court is clear, it has to be tax-free.

And Han Yingchen didn't blame Liu Di for these people, but said:

"Don't go, don't you just want to earn more income during the slack time, now the imperial court wants to expand the training of border guards, as an early warning and defense, all recruits will be given one or two silver dollars during the training period, plus three cotton cloths!"

Han Yingchen pointed to the cotton clothes on the car as he spoke: "You sign up now, and you can immediately take three cotton cloths back from each person!" ”

Liu Di hurriedly asked happily: "Really? ”

Han Yingchen nodded and said: "In addition, in the future, the border towns will also build roads, you don't have to go outside to find work, staying here is better than anything else, not to mention that the imperial court is now more and more concerned about you!" ”

Liu Di said with a smile: "What the official said is that if it weren't for the sake of supporting his family, who would want to leave his hometown?" However, how is it that the imperial court is getting richer and richer now, and is willing to give us so many subsidies, especially this cotton cloth, as if it is worthless? ”

"Because of the New Deal! Because there is a good emperor! ”

Han Yingchen replied.

Liu Di, a military household covered in patches, looked at these new and good cotton cloths and muttered: "Because of the new deal, because there is a good emperor?" ”
