Chapter 563: On an auspicious day, a hundred boats are coming
The disturbances in the court did not have much impact on the common people.
The power struggle of the officials and lords did not dare to be angry with the people, after all, Lord Yushi has not been in a good temper recently, and he is staring around with wide eyes, just waiting for which unlucky guy to come forward.
Old Master Lin worships Taifu, and he is only one step away from ascending to the top of the hundred officials, and Old Man Zhou is only left to raise him, which causes the carriage blocked outside the Lin Mansion to line up directly to the gate of Huanghuafang.
Lin Ruhai, who had been cautious for half his life, didn't even bother to go home, and quietly lived in the Lixiang Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, where the princess Luan, who sat with his daughter, every day, and avoided a lot of trouble.
A series of measures to strengthen the center and divide local power first hit the political envoys and the capital protectorate, and in less than a month, they flocked to the capital from all directions.
The emperor is rotten, which makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince miserable.
Liu Hong hasn't had a good rest for a few days, not to mention that there is a table of recitals on the table, and there are several piles in front of the case.
As soon as Mrs. Lin entered the hall, he couldn't help but shake his head, the courtiers were doing this, shouldn't they make the prince tired.
"Your Highness should go and have a good rest, and give this fold to the minister...... Just leave it to the Cabinet. ”
The cabinet has six scholars, each of whom is divided into a part, and it will probably be able to deal with it in a few days. This pile of piles, one person really can't bear it.
Liu Hong lifted his brain melon seeds from the case, and his bloodshot eyes startled Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai's eyes instantly sharpened, and he looked coldly at the waiter who was waiting on the side: "What are you doing to eat?" If Your Highness's body makes the slightest mistake, this pavilion will definitely take off your head! ”
But don't think that Lin Ruhai is angry with the inner servant, the prince is the foundation of the country, Daxia finally has a wise prince, and the cabinet has always used this prince as a treasure, for fear that he will bump into it, and he is even more concerned than the emperor.
Lin Ruhai couldn't reprimand the prince directly, so he could only use Shen Yu's inner servant to remind Liu Hong.
Fortunately, Liu Hong will also wake up from his groggy state, knowing that he has made the same mistake as his Lao Tzu, and laughed for a while.
"Master Lin doesn't want to blame them, he is alone. These excerpts are all about the same meaning, and they should be understood......"
To put it bluntly, this pile of recitals has the same meaning from beginning to end, to seize power with the center and the king.
What is the value of such a recital?
Lin Ruhai waved his hand at the waiter and said, "Go and ask the imperial dining room to cook a bowl of soup and rice for His Royal Highness, and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and His Royal Highness will go back to rest after eating." ”
As a prince, he has the responsibility of teaching the prince.
Lin Ruhai directly took over the command of the main hall of the East Palace, and unceremoniously instructed the chamberlain to arrange meals, which determined the prince's itinerary today.
"Although the government is busy, it is not so busy that His Highness does not sleep. A few small things can be dealt with by the ministers and a few elders in the cabinet. Your Highness can't follow His Majesty's example, and must sleep for four hours a day......"
According to his son-in-law, if a person does not sleep enough for four hours a day, it consumes his life.
Finally, there is a virtuous prince, and if you don't cherish it as a courtier, it is a great sin.
Lin Ruhai himself had overdrawn his life and fought with the gang of people in Jiangnan, but he knew too well the danger here.
Liu Hong saw that Taifu was really angry, and his words were full of concern for himself, and he couldn't help feeling guilty and grateful, and said with a smile: "It's not right, Gu will sleep for four hours in the future, and our monarchs and ministers have to win this tough battle." ”
The conversation between the two eased the atmosphere in the hall, and when Liu Hong was drinking porridge and eating, Lin Ruhai had already reviewed several pieces of music sent from the place.
Five of them were against the reform of local official positions in the country, three were complaining about the new policies of the imperial court, and one directly said that there were traitors in the center to bewitch the king, so they almost shouted to the side of the king.
Lin Ruhai unceremoniously criticized a sentence on the piece that was about to shout Qingjun's side: Who is a traitor? You don't have to hide it. If the edict of the Son of Heaven has the intention of disobeying, he can hang the seal and leave. The people of the people are fat and the people are anointed, and they do not raise people who are greedy for power and position!
"Send the capital procuratorate, let them check this Chengdu prefect."
Lin Ruhai didn't say how to investigate specifically, the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate would be aware of their intentions.
In a holy decree issued by the emperor this time, the power of the Imperial Court was directly strengthened to the extreme. Moreover, the grade of the imperial history has been raised by four levels, from the original seventh rank to the fifth grade.
This Chengdu prefect actually wants the imperial court to restore the old system, isn't that smashing the rice bowl of the imperial master?
Bounce him! Gotta play him!
Another letter said that the emperor gave the cabinet so much power, and the power was too heavy, if there were powerful ministers and traitors, the monarch would be in danger, and the society was in danger of overturning, and the emperor should be wary of the followers of Iho......
"If this pavilion is Iho, with today's words, he can die!"
On this sentence, Lin Ruhai also attached his name at the end and stamped his own private seal.
Then he handed it to the scribe and said: "This doesn't need to be sent to the cabinet, just send it to Hejian Mansion and see what else this Governor Zhu of Hejian Mansion has to say." ”
Liu Hong, who was holding a bowl of porridge and spoonful by spoonful to his mouth, came over curiously and took a look, almost laughing.
However, he still solemnly reminded him: "Is this sentence that Master Lin replied a little too much?" In case someone takes advantage of this to impeach Master Lin for abusing his power and threatening the officials of the imperial court, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. ”
Lin Ruhai shook his head: "If it were someone else, the minister would not approve it like this." However, this Zhu Binchen still knows very well, he and the minister are the same science and scholars, not to mention pedantic, it is best to sell straight and seek fame. If it is a righteous official, it is fine, but this person has been an official for 20 years, and every term has been holding the sage book and singing high-pitched, and he has no political achievements at all. Now that the dynasty is in the critical period of the New Deal, what is needed is people who can do things and carry things. Those who are in the position of corpse meal should be discarded. ”
Lin Ruhai is more similar to the current emperor, those officials who can only sing high-pitched and shout slogans are really unbearable to be pro-people officials.
Zhu Bin is the same age as him, and he is also a fellow scholar.
He has been a center, a local, a royal history, and a pro-people official in the state government, and has at least made great achievements.
Not to mention that every term can enable the local people to live and work in peace and contentment, at least the persuasion of agriculture, water conservancy, and education of the localities are all from above.
Now he is an official to the first grade, and in the same year, he is still a five-grade prefect......
According to the rules of the imperial court, every three years, as long as the middle and middle schools are evaluated, not to mention the promotion of the official, then there can also be a half-level promotion opportunity.
It took this man twenty years to achieve the fifth grade...... Vulgar too!
Lin Ruhai didn't think that this kind of person could bring any benefits to the people, let alone the imperial court to make drastic reforms.
"If Zhu Bin dares to impeach the minister again, the minister can still look down on him and transfer him to the capital to be an imperial historian. If he dies at this point...... Your Highness, the imperial court really doesn't need to spend national money to support such an official. ”
Liu Hong understood what Lin Ruhai meant, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and bowed down: "Thank you Master Lin for teaching, I will be taught!" ”
"I don't deserve such a big gift from His Royal Highness......"
Lin Ruhai stepped aside, helped Liu Hong up, and said with relief: "In fact, the minister also learned it from His Majesty, and His Majesty was in charge of the household department when he was still the prince. The minister remembers very well that His Majesty has written to the saints many times, wanting to abolish redundant officials, saying that there are too many people in the court who eat idle meals, too many people who eat corpse meals, and too many people who talk about it...... The minister still scoffed at it before, and it wasn't until he went to Jiangnan for more than ten years that he really understood His Majesty's foresight. ”
Compared with the old sage, the current emperor is not wronged at all when he is labeled as mean and unkind by the official eunuch.
Who called this lord or a prince from time to time with a knife handle and dangled on the official's head?
However, Lin Ruhai is now really admiring his five-body body, this stubborn emperor is really a daring king, and he is even worried about how it will be recorded in the history books.
"Your Majesty once said that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are hateful, and those who eat corpses are even more hateful. The minister thinks so, Your Highness may wish to ask Your Majesty for advice, what is an official? Why Official? What is the official? ”
……
Although Old Man Zhou Jiong has not officially given his official position, the power of the cabinet has basically been transferred to Lin Ruhai's hands.
There are more and more concerts flocking to the center at the local level, and there are excerpts to impeach Lin Ruhai and other cabinet ministers every day.
However, they were all directly intercepted by the cabinet, and Lin Ruhai and others were even more unceremoniously, either staying in the middle or directly returning to the center.
Anyway, the current cabinet has the power to appoint and dismiss officials below the fifth grade, which annoys the cabinet bosses, and directly asks the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Dragon Guards to investigate him.
How many of these officials have clean butts?
Liu Hong was limited by several masters in the cabinet, for fear that this young master would be tired and sick.
It was the emperor himself who asked people to say that children should be diligent and learn more from the masters of the cabinet, but they were beaten back by the six cabinet ministers.
His Majesty said that the prince is still a child, and the child must be well cared for, and how to teach the apprentice is a matter for us masters. Besides, if our cabinet can handle these trivial matters, Your Majesty should not be involved.
The civil servants of Great Xia are much more difficult to deal with than the generals, and when the will of the cabinet is unified, the emperor has to stand aside.
In this way, Liu Hong's daily work is to sleep, eat, and ...... Learn from the master of the minister, it is not a major military matter, and those trivial matters basically do not need him to care.
At the beginning of April, the crown princess Zhang Liu's girl was diagnosed by the imperial doctor with a happy pulse.
This time, the masters of the cabinet are more motivated......
When Jia Cong, who was far away on Wajima, received the news, Wang Shi had completely surrounded the Tamba Domain, where Kyoto was located.
On the day of the Shangshi Festival on March 3, the army of the Celestial Empire attacked from all sides, and the two armies of the north and south began to march eastward, all the way like a bamboo, which not only eliminated a large number of the living forces of the Wa State, but also disturbed the spring planting of the Wa State.
The delay of spring planting for a season of spring planting, which was already short of food, was a devastating disaster for hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people near Kyoto.
Entering the scorching summer, the Tamba Domain, Yamato Domain, and Ise Domain have already had a tragic situation of changing children and eating them.
Wang Ziteng has long been out of temper by Liu Yi and Jia Cong, not to mention taking his life to change the future of the Wang family, he just wants to die, it is all a luxury.
"Lord Wang, look at it, if you are gone, just like Wang Ren's bastard, how many days do you think the Wang family can last?"
The letter sent by Jingli gave Wang Ziteng a headache.
Although he discussed it with the Jia family, Wang Ren should be a rich "stallion" and give birth to children for the Wang family.
I don't want him to leave the capital, and this guy will return to his lawless bastard appearance.
During his wife's pregnancy, she actually wanted to take the Qinglou woman home.
If the palace hadn't invited his nephew Queen Xifeng back to her parents' house, the old Wang's face would have been lost to Wang Ren.
Wang Xifeng stopped his brother's ridiculous behavior, and guess what? Wang Ren was ashamed to say that he was the young master of the Wang family, and the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion would be his.
The angry Wang Xifeng sacrificed the ultimate move of the Jia family, invited the lord to take action in person, and hung Wang Ren on the gate of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion for three days.
Just this one thing also made Wang Ziteng understand that he was thinking too simply.
The Jia family can make a move once or twice, but Wang Ren is the only male heir of the Wang family after all, and the righteousness will force the Jia family to keep shooting.
After learning that his nephew and daughter-in-law gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Wang family, the eyes of the eldest marquis finally had a glimmer of life.
He is a hard hold, and he will have to hold on for a few more years.
It's best to take Wang Ren, the bastard, down before he dies!
Li Shiqian once again diagnosed the pulse of the prince and raised it for more than half a year, and the effect cannot be said to be much, but it can be regarded as temporarily saving this guy's life.
"Marquis Ning Yuan, the old man's words may be ugly, but I still have to say it again, the consumption of essence and blood is not something that a few ginseng shou wu can make up. Although you don't have to worry about your life now, the previous wear and tear has cost you your life. In the future, if you have a calm mind and recuperate, you will be able to last for at least seven or eight years. ”
When Wang Ziteng heard that the divine doctor had died, not only was he not disappointed, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seven or eight years, enough!
He got up and bowed down to Li Shiqian, and said solemnly: "Thank you Elder Li for saving your life, these seven or eight years are enough for me to settle everything." ”
Jia Cong obviously felt the change in Wang Ziteng's mentality, the most ruthless general in the army, which would give him a sense of kindness.
It's really outrageous!
Liu Yi squeezed his eyes at him, and whispered: "Cong boy, how does this king feel that this guy seems to have changed as if he has changed a person, could it be that a lonely ghost has fallen on his body?" ”
"King Jing, I can hear you!"
Wang Ziteng glanced at Liu Yi speechlessly, and after sending Li Shiqian away, he turned to Liu Yi and said, "If the only heir of your family is like my nephew, you will also become like me." ”
"That's goodbye, this king still wants to live a few more years."
Good guy, just like Wang Ren, whoever puts up this kind of heir will be crazy.
Liu Yi thanked Bumin, quickly changed the topic, invited the two to the map, pointed to one of them and said: "This is the port where the warships of the Japanese and Xiyi are located, and this king plans to knock out their ships first, and the only way for them to escape." Marquis Wang, Brother Cong, what do you think? ”
Now the Japanese are only left in the land of the three feudatories, and all the escape routes on land have been cut off by the royal division, leaving only the port of the Ise domain by the sea as the only way to escape.
They colluded with Xiyi, united the only remaining 30 large ships and dozens of small boats of the Japanese people with more than 10 sea ships of Xiyi, and laid down a coastal defense line in Anotsu of the Ise Domain, hoping to take advantage of the terrain and block the attack of the Celestial Empire's sailors, which could be regarded as leaving a way for those princes and nobles to survive.
Liu Yi's idea, Jia Cong agreed.
However, for example, the main forces of several major naval divisions of the DPRK today cannot go north for the time being, and they have to guard against Xiyi reinforcements coming from afar.
There were only 20 warships of the Dengzhou Naval Division near Wajima, and it was difficult to break through the defense line of the Wa people.
"The strength of our sailors is not enough, if we attack, we may not be able to gnaw down this hard bone."
Jia Cong rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, he didn't want to lose too many warriors of the Celestial Empire in this war.
Fighting with this group of dwarfs, he didn't think it was worth sacrificing one.
I didn't want to smile at this time, and smiled at Jia Cong: "Who said that our troops are insufficient? It's time for the Xue family's brand to be used......"
……
June 16 of the 12th year of Daxia Yuanyou, Shangji.
Jia Cong stood on the largest port of the Awa Domain, and next to him was the Xue family's chief steward on Wajima, Xue Xun.
The young chief steward hurried here from the Satsuma Domain with only a warrant from Jia Cong.
"Master Hou, in accordance with your instructions, the villain has joined forces with the Song, Wang, Chen, and Yue families to gather one hundred and twenty-seven large and small ships, all of which are armed merchant ships that can be charged with cannons. Although it is not as good as the warships of the imperial navy, it is enough to fight the broken sampans of the Japanese country. ”
This group of maritime merchants in Great Xia has no good stubble.
On weekdays, he looks like a gentleman, and he looks like he is kind and wealthy, but when he is ruthless, the sharks in the sea have to hide.
Obviously, it was a commercial trip, but the ship was equipped with a gun, and the bow of the ship was specially equipped with ramming angles.
The imperial court even opened an exclusive port for these people, as long as they did not harm the people of the Celestial Empire, it was to destroy the overseas country, and the imperial court would not ask a word.
Of course, when destroying the human kingdom and slaughtering the human race, they are not allowed to hang the dragon flag of Great Xia, and they are not allowed to say that they are from the Celestial Empire.
Jia Cong will not care about the life and death of overseas aliens, only about when these ships will arrive.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, a series of skyrocketing masts appeared at sea level.
When the sea ships gradually approached, Jia Cong had a clearer understanding of the group of wealthy businessmen who went to sea for the first time in the Celestial Empire.
This group of people is okay alone, his mother formed a coalition army, how many of those small countries in Xiyi can withstand the disaster?
"Xue Xun, you tell Ben Hou to be honest, do you often join forces to destroy the country and slaughter the clan and rob money on weekdays?"
Xue Xun was honest, and after laughing, he whispered back: "Master Hou, you are your own person, and the villain will say it directly." Compared to what Xiyi did at sea, it was much more ruthless than ours. When a few of us go to sea, as long as the other party is willing to do business with us honestly, the villain will not really lose the Tianliang Tu clan and destroy the country......"
Hiss!
The meaning of this guy's words is that the other party doesn't want to do business, so he talks with a cannon.
Xue Xun finally added: "Actually, before the Hou Ye passed the order, the villain just received the news that our fleets met Xiyi's ships at sea, and they fought with them a few times, or they won or lost, but it can be regarded as stopping these people in the sea off Wa Island, and they didn't let them spoil the affairs of the imperial court." ”
Fighting warships with merchant ships simply stopped Xiyi's fleet in the open sea.
These people are really fucking ruthless!
However, Jia Cong felt very happy in his heart, and couldn't help but praise: "Good job, after this battle, Benhou will give you credit." What do you want, you tell Ben Hou, as long as Ben Hou can do it, I will do it for you! ”
This is not a joke, just because this group of people dared to scare the Xiyi warship and stop the Xiyi reinforcements, they should be rewarded.
But seeing Xue Xun overjoyed, he bowed and said: "That villain has the courage to beg the Hou Ye, please play the Hou Ye to the imperial court, I am willing to drive the imperial court, go to the Western Ocean, and ask the imperial court to give me an overseas enclave, build a harbor, and repair the dock fort......"
