An early dynasty down, Zhu Di Longyan Dayue, he has a group of assistants who are willing to do things, many government affairs that want to push and push, and finally someone is willing to charge, there is nothing happier than this.

The officials were physically and mentally exhausted, and although they didn't say a few words, the pressure on their shoulders was heavy, and they were almost out of breath.

These old ministers of Jianwen are in a posture of playing with their lives as soon as they come up, none of them are easy to deal with, they are all red-eyed, and if such a group of vicious wolves come in, the court will inevitably be troubled.

As a heavenly official, he really lives like a year.

Just when he was thinking about how to deal with it, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, and Xie Jin, the general political envoy, came to visit together.

To be honest, Xie Jin suddenly came, which made Jian Yi slightly stunned...... But soon he was relieved.

If you really regard Xie Jin as Xu Jingchang's sworn friend, obeying orders, and having no brains to support anything, then you are confused. It's the location that determines people's hearts.

Sitting in that position, you can't help but have thoughts that are in your own interests.

Huang Guan revolted, and suddenly took away the power to understand the interpretation of the Jin, and the old ministers rose up one after another, gathered in the Pingzhang Academy, and there was a great situation of overhead political affairs.

At this moment, Xie Jin will most likely move closer to the courtiers.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Xie Jin is a fraud, come and probe the wind.

But Jian Yi is not worried, he has his own way of coping.

"Jian Tianguan, I think that this Dingguo Gong will be able to take care of his heart when he starts a family and starts a business, he doesn't look for his daughter-in-law, what are you doing with these old Jianwen ministers?" Natsuhara grumbled.

Jian Yi snorted, "I inquired, Dingguo Gong has been in Huang Shangshu's mansion these days, Huang Shangshu has two girls like flowers and jade, don't you know?" ”

Xia Yuanji was dumbfounded, "So, he fell in love with Huang Guan's girl?" That's not right! Huang Guan was born, he was destined to be a lonely minister, looking for his daughter, I was afraid that he would not be able to help Dingguo Gong much, and he would become a burden. ”

Jian Yi chuckled, "Is that so?" He turned his gaze to Xie Jin and said with a smile: "Xie Tongzheng, what do you think?" ”

Xie Jin said in a deep voice: "This time, all the old ministers of Jianwen have come back, if they have a firm foothold in the court, Huang Shangshu will not be alone." ”

Xia Yuanji waved his hand, "No, it's still not right to think so...... Since they are Jianwen's former ministers, thousands of pairs of eyes are staring, and they dare not blatantly form a party for personal gain. They should still do more things, just like Zhou is Xiu, he dared to touch the border guard, it was really fatal. ”

Xie Jin paused, and suddenly said, "Jian Shangshu, Xia Shangshu...... As you may know, I suggested abolishing some of the guards and replacing them with recruitment, but it turned out ......"

He didn't say any more, but everyone knew that it almost ruined his career.

But now we are talking about rectifying the health center...... Xie Jin felt that the opportunity had come again.

And this is not a betrayal, he and Xu Jingchang have long said that the two are a cooperative relationship, not a subordination, and Xu Jingchang did not ask Xie Jin to obey.

Xu Jingchang is also embarrassed to do things like rectifying the military system, and Xie Jin is naturally willing to do it for him.

It's just that if you want to mobilize the forces in the army, you must first get the support of the courtiers, which is also the reason why Xie Jin came over.

Jian Yi frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I think Your Majesty's intention is to enrich the guards and replenish the military households, and there is no intention of recruiting soldiers. ”

Xie Jin said: "Jian Tianguan, I have worked this matter. In addition to the hard work of the border land, there are also those hereditary generals who encroach on the fields and turn them into tenant farmers. Recruiting soldiers is just asking the court to pay for it, but rectifying the military household is tantamount to going against all the nobles, and this matter is only more difficult. ”

Jian Yi frowned slightly, "Can you explain the details of the political affairs?" ”

Xie Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Jian Tianguan, this is not an obvious matter, let's not talk about those commanders, governors and the like, take a thousand households as an example, a thousand households may not have a son!" There is only one one who inherits his place, what about the rest? Do you watch them idle and sit idle? These thousand households, garrisons, their authority is much greater than that of the counties in the interior. They will definitely find a way to annex the land of the military households, or turn the military households into tenants, also for the sake of their own livelihood and reproduction, and live a good life. As for those military households who can't stand it, they will flee. That's why there is the problem of the emptiness of the guard. If he really dares to touch this hornet's nest, I am afraid that he will die or live, after all, the army is different from Shandong! ”

Jian Yi took a deep breath and looked at Xia Yuanji again.

Xia Yuanji also frowned, "The reason is this, but if you abolish the military household and use the recruitment of soldiers instead, you can't stop the money, and the treasury still can't bear it." ”

The three important ministers all fell silent.

……

On Xu Jingchang's side, there were fewer people tossing about marriages, but he still came to Huangfu by the way and did not return to his home.

"I've been busy for so long, and I really want to respect Madame's craft."

Huang Guan said with a smile: "Me too, now that all my old friends are getting back up, I don't have to worry about anything, in the future, I will study and repair books, and it is enough to be a happy man." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Huang Liushou, do you really plan to do so?" I don't think you're too old, and you only have two daughters at home, so you don't want to work hard? Spread the branches for the Huang family? ”

They are also familiar with each other, and Xu Jingchang is unscrupulous and asks everything.

Huang Guan was not angry, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, just before Your Majesty entered Yingtian, my only concubine was pregnant, and my younger brother Huang Ji took her away quietly and went to his hometown in Jiangxi. My younger brother should be able to enter Beijing soon, and father and son will be reunited. ”

Xu Jingchang laughed, "This is a happy event, Huang Liushou has a successor, and your children must be smart, when I have time, I will introduce it to the grandson, read him as a companion, cultivate feelings in advance, maybe the young phoenix will be clear in the old phoenix in the future!" ”

Huang Guan raised his head and laughed, "Then thank you for the support of the Duke of Dingguo, I have remembered your great kindness in my heart." ”

Xu Jingchang said: "I didn't say it, are distant relatives not as good as close neighbors!" ”

As they spoke, they entered the mansion.

What is surprising is that no one came out to greet them, and as soon as I walked inside, I heard the sound of talking and laughing, so lively!

"You won't enter Beijing early, will you?"

Huang Guan walked forward quickly, Xu Jingchang also followed, and when he arrived at the door of the living room, Huang Guan suddenly froze.

"Second brother!"

One of the people inside also ran out.

"Big brother!"

The two middle-aged men hugged each other, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and they couldn't stop crying.

Two years is not much time, but it is like life and death, and it can only be reunited after nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties!

"Big brother, I really can't imagine that you are still alive, not only alive, but also one step higher...... What a protection from our ancestors! ”

Huang Guan sighed: "It is Your Majesty's magnanimity, and it is also thanks to the great help of the Duke of Dingguo. ”

Huang Guan invited Xu Jingchang over, introduced his brother, and then the big guy entered the living room together, Huang Guan's eldest daughter was holding a two-year-old little doll, this little guy saw a stranger, and was a little scared, but he had beautiful eyebrows, and Huang Guan was quite similar, he couldn't help but reach out and hold the child in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, let Daddy take a look."

The reunion of the family is naturally a great joy, Weng's eyes were filled with tears, and he prepared a table of good dishes. Xu Jingchang was also very generous, and asked people to bring two jars of good wine from home.

Wash the dust for Huang Ji.

At the wine table, Huang Ji told about his past experience, and he also sighed.

"Big brother, little brother, I'm sorry for you, I didn't keep the child's mother."

Huang Guan already had a guess in his heart, if he was alive, it would be impossible not to enter Beijing...... "It's not easy for her, where is she buried?" I plan to take the time to take a look and worship at the grave, she is a great hero of the Huang family. ”

As soon as he said this, the tears that Huang Ji had just controlled flowed down again.

"Big brother, I don't know where the corpse is...... She was snatched away. ”

"Snatched? Who did this to you? Huang Guan asked in surprise.

"It's a thousand households in Chizhou Wei, he got up to speed and directly arrested people. I was not convinced, I wanted to save the person, and I inquired in many ways, only to hear later that she would rather die than give in, and was beaten to death, and the body did not know where to go...... Big brother, I'm sorry for you! ”

Huang Guan frowned, although he had some guesses, he was still sad and angry in his heart, is this a thousand households in the imperial court, or a bandit?

Robbing men and women, and beating people to death, is really hateful!

At this time, Xu Jingchang suddenly said: "Huang Shangshu doesn't have to be sad...... In this kind of case, Jinyiwei will not sit idly by. I immediately arranged for someone to go down and find out clearly. ”

Huang Guan nodded sadly, Huang Guan groaned a little, but he reached into his arms, took out a booklet, and put it on the table.

"This is the little evidence I found, and I don't know if it's useful or not......"

Xu Jingchang reached out and took it, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

"This is the stone field opened by the brute...... He turned the imperial court military household into his own craftsman, opened the mountain to take stones, and sold them on a large scale, and it is said that many stones were sold to Yingtian. ”

Xu Jingchang was taken aback, "Really? ”

"This is what I secretly wrote down while working in the quarry for a year and a half, and I have asked carefully about it, and there will be no mistake."

Huang looked at his brother, grabbed his wrist, and spread his hand on the table, only to see that the hands were extremely rough, and the little finger was missing, but it was smashed by a stone and had to be amputated.

"Second brother, you have suffered!" Huang Guan couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Jingchang was stunned, and hurriedly flipped through it, took a quick look, and then said: "You said that there are less than five hundred people left in the entire Chizhou Guard, but is it true?" ”

"Really, after all, there are less than a hundred people in this thousand households, and there are more than 30 of them."

There are usually 5,000 households under a guard, and if it is full, it should be 5,600 people. Of course, Xu Jingchang's brocade clothes are special and cannot be calculated according to common sense.

Even if it is calculated according to sixty percent, there are 3,000 people, and if you put it at a discount, there are more than 1,000 people.

In fact, there are not even 500 people!

It's outrageous, it's outrageous, it's outrageous.

When Xu Jingchang saw this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, it is not enough to corrupt the military system!" ”
