Zhu Yijun as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has been avoiding a situation, that is, not only fighting with the enemy, but also fighting with comrades-in-arms who were once comrades, peers and happy comrades-in-arms, Zhu Yijun is a sentimental person, he does not like his comrades-in-arms who worked closely in the past to become enemies, he has been trying his best to avoid this situation, many times Zhu Yijun is really good at talking.

On the premise of not harming the collective interests of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun can even tolerate the crime of trespassing, but when it hurts the collective interests of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun will take action.

During the period when Xu Jiugao and Liu Ji, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, left Songjiang Mansion and came to Tianjin Wei, the Jingshi was as busy as ever, and the poor coolies were waking up from the Attached Guocao City, some of them were busy in the grass market with all kinds of goods entering Beijing, and some began to enter the city as cattle and horses, and the congestion of the city gate of the Beijing Division in the morning and evening had attracted the attention of Shuntianfu, and the expansion of the city gate and the roads in the city had been put on the agenda.

The extremely radical believes that the city wall and moat are directly demolished, and the cities in the north have city walls, but the hinterland cities south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains have city walls, which are still built in the case of the southeast woke, and the existence of the city walls will affect traffic, which is inevitable.

In the end, the conservatives won, the Beijing division is the political center of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the military center, in case there is another fierce man in the north and Dongyi, the city wall is the last barrier to defend the Beijing division, even if the conservatives shout all day long that the solidity of the mountains and rivers is not in danger in Germany, but the reality is that the orthodoxy also entered the Kou in October of the 14th year of the Orthodoxy and the 29th year of Jiajing I answered into the Kou, that is, he retreated only after seeing the thick walls of the Jingshi City.

Shaanxi political envoy Wang Yu, Zuo Erguan Xue Lun, Shanxi envoy Qiao Bixing, Yangcheng Bai Shibai Zhili, and others were escorted to Beijing on 12 May. Shaanxi and Shanxi are the traditional territory of the Jin Party, and the culprits in this case are the result of Wang Chonggu's vigorous efforts to purge the party, and their intensity is unprecedented.

The problem of Wang Yu and Xue Lun is not serious, the two are mainly asking for bribes and tolerating adultery, while Qiao Bixing and Bai Zhili have extremely serious problems and are enemies.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate headed by Hai Rui led the three law divisions, the criminal department, and the Dali Temple to conduct three divisions of trials on these cases, and the results obtained were completely consistent with the conclusions of Shi Maohua, the governor of Shaanxi, and Wang Chonggu, the leader of the Jin Party, with clear facts and conclusive evidence.

This is a major earthquake in the northwest officialdom, its impact is so far-reaching, many people are running in fear, hoping to get clear news, to confirm whether they have been affected by melons, after several days of intensive investigation and supplementation, Hai Rui led the play, intending to quickly and quickly trial, to prevent further panic.

The fall of the local magistrate is easy to spread to the whole place, and the fastest trial represents less involvement, minimizes the impact, and prevents the impact from affecting the front-line war, which is a common practice in wartime, just like in the war, the 'waste' caused by the army and soldiers should not be claimed by the soldiers, and if you can't afford to fight, don't fight, and be a soldier in arrears, which is not suitable for the Ming Dynasty.

It's impossible to have no money, but not everything is business.

Zhu Yijun came to Beizhen Fusi again, it was still sunny, the windows were still bright and clean, the torture tools here had already been locked in the warehouse because of the emperor's frequent arrival, and they were rarely used again, the legendary punishment of the five poisons, Zhu Yijun had never seen it in the big man.

He can't be punished by a doctor.

There are so many cases, in fact, Zhu Yijun discovered very early on, people are weaker than imagined, sitting on the regret chair, ninety out of five people will honestly explain, but sometimes, people's will is stronger than steel, and they can still stand tall in the raging fire.

Zhu Yijun first announced that Wang Yu and Xue Lun met, these two kowtowed again and again, crying again and again, their story is not complicated, that is, greed is opened, like a falling stone rolling down from a mountain, rolling down, and even, even Wang Yu and Xue Lun themselves can't tell when they became like this, maybe it's a poetry meeting, maybe it's a wine banquet, maybe it's envy of extravagant life.

"In the end, you still live the most hated appearance when you were young." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, the two of them embezzled a total of 70,000 taels of silver, and in the end, they just went home without taking away their meritorious officials, which was the result of Zhang Juzheng's aggravated punishment.

"Farewell to Your Majesty." Wang Yu and Xue Lun breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, they became even more mixed, and after performing five bows and three kowtows, they left Beizhen Fusi, they were not sentenced to exile, nor were they sentenced, only their own denial of their past.

Zhu Yijun then announced that he met with Qiao Bixing, the envoy of Shanxi, Qiao Bixing is the descendant of the Jin Party, he is still young, and the future is bright, he only needs to wait for a vacancy, he can be promoted to political envoy, and after the three-year period, he can further enter Beijing as a waiter.

Qiao Bixing was only two steps away from Ming Gong, Wang Chonggu and Zhu Yijun both waited for a month, but they couldn't wait for Qiao Bixing to truthfully report the evidence of Bai's crime, which Qiao Bixing personally investigated.

Sometimes, no one knows what they have done, but in fact, everyone knows it.

"The guilty minister greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Qiao Bixing wore shackles and shackles and made a big salute.

"Are you guilty?" Zhu Yijun said with a serious face.

Qiao Bixing knelt on the ground, but still said with a full heart: "The criminal is guilty, but the criminal is just the chicken that Wang Cifu killed the chicken and set an example of the monkey, not the guilty minister, but also someone else, just a criminal minister." ”

You big people are pouring and playing, the gods are fighting, and the mortals are suffering.

Qiao Bixing didn't feel guilty, in front of the emperor, he also thought the same, he didn't feel that what he did was wrong, Wang Chonggu wanted to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, he just happened to bump into it.

"In the early years, Mr. told me that the bad of the Ming Dynasty is bad at appeasement of nepotism, whether to punish corruption first, or to treat appeasement first, Mr. and Gao Gong have different opinions, and today it seems that Mr. is honest and does not deceive." Zhu Yijun is very satisfied with Qiao Bixing's attitude, this is what a cheap Confucian should look like, he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong until he dies, but he is just unlucky.

Gao Gong, as the first assistant of the cabinet, made a big plan for the hundreds of officials in the world, and cooperated with Yang Bo, the secretary of the ministry, and there was no Jin person in all the deposed lists, which completely led to the expansion of the Jin party.

Qiao Bixing's Jin Party came from like this, so the Jin Party didn't feel wrong about the nepotism of tolerating and shielding.

"Your Majesty, what Yuan Fu said is reasonable, why didn't the criminal minister end up like this today because the criminal minister refused to cling to Wang Cifu and couldn't get Wang Cifu's appeasement and protection, so he fell to such a point?" Qiao Bixing looked at Wang Chonggu with some hatred, wasn't it because he was the former party leader Ge Shouli's person and didn't deal with Wang Chonggu that he was killed as an example?

"You fart!" Wang Chonggu couldn't bear it, slapped the table, and said dirty words in front of the emperor, and he was so loud.

"You are also worthy of being Ge Gong's protégé? That Wang Jiaping is now the governor of Liangguang, and Fan Yingzhi even went to Huguang to be the governor, when did I treat you badly because you are Ge Gong's protégé? I know that you have seized Baijiatong quintpet, and I have been waiting for you for a month! One month! Wang Chonggu slapped the table, during this time, he was really under pressure.

Qiao Bixing was stunned, and then said extremely fiercely: "You haven't done anything for a month, even if you send me a message!" Is that what you do? ”

Wang Chonggu looked at Qiao Bixing blankly, what should he do? Tell Qiao Bixing that His Majesty already knows, or do you bless Qiao Bixing to keep him? What can he do? This world is the great tomorrow, this Shanxi is the Shanxi of the Ming Dynasty, not the Shanxi of his king Chonggu! He can't keep Qiao Bixing, even if it's this reminder, what about next time?

Could it be that the Jin Party will come up with another Zhang Siwei, and let His Majesty completely destroy the Jin Party before stopping?

Now blame him for the inaction of the party leader, you have been bullied, he can help you find some justice, you have made a big mistake, what can he do as the party leader to help? Not to mention him, even Empress Dowager Li's father, Wu Qingbo Li Wei, had to be punished for supplying cotton clothes to the old camp.

As for those things that Qiao Bixing did, how could he Wang Chonggu protect him?

"!" Wang Chonggu shook his sleeves vigorously, looking at Qiao Bixing very helpless and depressed, he rubbed his face vigorously, this is a bit unruly, but he doesn't care about this anymore. He really couldn't take it a bit, the front-line Jin businessmen fed Qi Jiguang with knives, and the Jin party descendants in the rear dragged their feet all the time, and he, the party leader, was really tired.

I can't bring it, I can't bring it at all.

Wang Chonggu glanced at Zhang Juzheng enviously, and looked at who Zhang Juzheng was, Qi Jiguang, Liang Menglong, Yin Zhengmao, Ling Yunyi, Pan Jitao, Shen Shixing, which one is not the one who is in charge, holds great power, and does things wholeheartedly?

This is related to the difference in the selection mechanism of the two parties, the Zhang Party is the test pass, and the Jin Party is the nepotism.

Zhang Juzheng said quite calmly: "Sichuan Governor Luo Yao, corruption of 340,000 silver, Gao Qiyu's "Shun Yi Yi Yu", you Jin people are not worrying, and I am not worrying about it, it's all the same." ”

As long as it is a party, there will inevitably be this situation, Zhang Juzheng is not a god, his Zhang Party is not clean, and it also needs to be cleaned up regularly in order to maintain the health of the organization, Zhang Dang can often clean up the poison, but it is difficult for the Jin Party to do it, because the Jin Party is a clan party and a regional township party, it is a tolerating and shielding family, and it is a nepotism.

An organization that cannot metabolize itself will inevitably lead to its ultimate demise, from small families to small households, handicraft workshops, merchant gangs, and commercial houses, to large courts and dynasties.

Qiao Bixing refused to admit his guilt, he felt that he was just unlucky, although he kowtowed in front of the emperor, but he was begging for mercy for his life, not really feeling that he had done wrong.

"I have an idea."

"Since you think you're just unlucky, let's be unlucky to the end, just send Qiao Zhaocha's family members directly to Bansheng." Zhu Yijun stood up, looked at Qiao Bixing, and said calmly: "Since you don't think it's a big mistake to go through, then do what you think." ”

Silent.

In the prison of Fusi in Beizhen, the officials of the hall were directly stunned, they wanted to persuade, but they didn't know where to start, there was no problem with this logic, in Qiao Bixing's cognition, it was not a big mistake, then send Qiao Bixing's family to Bansheng and give it to Beiyu, as for their treatment, it is conceivable.

Since you feel that Tongfan is not guilty, then you will be physically guilty, this is reciprocity, and it is reverse.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister is guilty, Your Majesty, the minister deserves death, but the disaster will not hurt his family, Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of death." Qiao Bixing panicked directly, kept kowtowing, shackled and shackled, and really confessed.

"Tsk, once it comes to yourself, do you confess?" Zhu Yijun knows too well how to make a cheap Confucian like Qiao Bixing break the defense, such a selfish person, what he is most afraid of is that his own real interests will be damaged, his children will become the slaves of the Beiyu, and his wife and concubine will become the playthings of the Beiyu.

"So, you never know what you're doing wrong, your family is family, other people's families are not family, the Bai family, and you people who are all over the world, will have an impact on the war situation, the wives and children of the soldiers on the border of the Ming Dynasty may become the playthings of the Beiyu, you won't feel any guilt, but your family has become a plaything, you can't accept it." After Zhu Yijun finished saying this, he left the prison of Fusi in Beizhen.

He stood in the courtyard of Fusi in Beizhen, looking at the scorching sun, Zhang Juzheng was behind the emperor, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, this move may be inappropriate." ”

"I'm just scaring him, what's wrong with this move, it's that I can't do it at all, how do the people of the world think of me? I just said this on purpose to let him die in terror. Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui and said with a smile: "Mr. Hai will not agree." ”

"The minister is indeed against it." Hai Rui said very calmly.

Sending one's own people to the enemy to play with, this kind of behavior is only to punish the villain, and the country loses great trust, Hai Rui and other backbone ministers will definitely oppose it, this is not to say that Hai Rui is shielding cheap people like Qiao Bixing, but to maintain order.

His Majesty is the architect of the new order of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is undergoing great changes, and in the midst of the changes, the writing of the order is completed by all the people of the world.

This act was the behavior of Ming Yingzong, and after the restoration, Zhu Qizhen of Baozong killed Yu Qian, Wang Wen, and Fan Guang.

Fan Guang was the commander of Liaodong on August 15, the 14th year of orthodoxy, and was recommended by Yu Qian to enter Beijing as the deputy commander-in-chief, and was Shi Heng's second officer.

Wara also first took the student Zhu Qizhen to invade the capital, Fan Guang was outside the Desheng Gate, dismounted and fell into a battle to the death, on the battlefield, once dismounted to fight, it means that he does not plan to retreat, and wants to live and die with the front, Fan Guang won with a group of militiamen who had just been recruited, and the pursuit stopped until Bauhinia Pass.

Zhu Qizhen was restored, and on the charge of attaching the party to Yu Qian, Fan Guang was beheaded for public display, and then Fan Guang's wife and children were given to the northern captives.

Qiao Bixing's crime is naturally punished by Da Ming Law, and the conclusion of the three divisions is that on beheading, exile of family members in Luzon, this punishment is enough, Zhu Yijun's words are just to punish the heart, so that Qiao Bixing will suffer from inner torment and torture before he dies.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng led his ministers to shout that His Majesty can carry it clearly, for the sake of a Qiao Bixing, there is no need to lose his reputation.

"Your Majesty, Xu Jiugao, the special envoy to Taixi, and Liu Ji, the deputy envoy, have arrived in Tongzhou, do you arrange an audience?" Wan Shihe talked about Xu Jiugao's itinerary.

"As soon as possible." Zhu Yijun knew the cumbersome process of the Ministry of Rites, and his meaning was very clear, Xu Jiugao, Liu Ji and others should take a break, hurry up and finish the process, and after resuming their lives, they should rest for a good life.

Wan Shihe is a dedicated minister, His Majesty said as soon as possible, the next day, the Ministry of Rites will complete all the processes, this efficiency is too high, you must know that Shah Mamaiti from Jiayu Pass to the audience, the process has gone a whole year.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Yijun met the envoys Xu Jiugao and Liu Ji who had returned from afar.

The first envoys of the Ming Dynasty to Taixi were Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu, and the second was Xu Jiugao and Liu Ji, the difference is that the first time I went was to take someone else's boat, and the second time was to take my own boat.

"Ministers Xu Jiugao and Liu Ji visited Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live last March, the ministers and others were ordered by the monarch to explore Taixi, fortunately not dishonored, and today the saint returned to his life." Xu Jiugao and Liu Ji made a big ceremony.

"This time the envoy has worked hard and made great achievements, and I am quite pleased, and the two Aiqing are exempt." Zhu Yijun motioned for Xu Jiugao and the others to stand up and speak.

It is inevitable to reward meritorious deeds and increase officials to knighthood, and there are also regulations, Zheng He went to the West to have a precedent of rewarding, this is the law of the ancestors, and the lowly Confucians cannot object.

Zhu Yijun chatted with Xu Jiugao for a while, asking about the situation of the Portuguese king Antonio who he canonized.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis de Santa Cruz negotiated with His Royal Highness Antonio in Lisbon, and the negotiations were inconclusive, but Antonio nevertheless leased a port in the north to Spain at an extremely high price." Xu Jiugao talked about the final result of the negotiations between the Marquis and Antonio.

Felipe II is not a thief, and Antonio is not so easy to handle with the support of the Ming Dynasty, fighting both defeats and losing both, and no one will be convinced if he doesn't fight, but Felipe II also has important things to do, that is, the Netherlands, which resisted for more than ten years and finally became independent.

So there was a temporary peace between the two teeth, and Felipe II was leased to a Portuguese port.

"After Felipe borrowed the port of Porto, he began to transfer the Armada to the Netherlands, and sent an expeditionary force of 1,300 men to Ireland, for which the Queen was very worried, but there was no good way." Xu Jiugao told His Majesty what he had learned about Taixi.

Mainly due to the changes in the Netherlands, the Northern League and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the Netherlands officially passed the Oath Act, declaring that they officially separated from Spain and became independent states.

William, Prince of Orange, became the first consul of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, not the king but the chief consul, because the Dutch Republic is representative, that is, the parliamentarians are formed into the parliament, and the parliament has the highest decision-making power, and the chief consul is only the nominal head of state.

The members of parliament of the Republic of the Netherlands are mainly from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Northern Union.

The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, known as the Arras League (Belgium), was an alliance of nobles and churches who traveled to Spain in the first year of Wanli to pledge allegiance to Felipe II.

The Northern League, on the other hand, was the Utrecht League (Netherlands), which consisted mainly of peasants, artisans, workshop owners, the bourgeoisie and Protestants.

The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was loyal to Felipe II, but because of the cruel plundering of Spain, it finally became unbearable, and came together with the northern resistance forces to complete the merger, and jointly formulated the "Oath Act" and officially declared independence.

The inducement for the cooperation between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Northern Alliance was that the governor of the Netherlands, who was subordinate to Spain, Lexon, dug up the seawall and brutally suppressed the resistance with water instead of soldiers.

Felipe II was willing to let go of the war with Antonio because of the independence of the Netherlands, which made Felipe II unbearable, and Felipe II offered a reward of 25,000 gold coins for the head of William the Silent of Prince Orange.

At the time of Xu Jiugao's departure, there had been three large-scale assassinations, it was very simple to assassinate William, in the face of high bounties, assassins emerged in an endless stream, and William still traveled and participated in activities as usual, which gave the assassins a great opportunity to take advantage of, which was stupid, but William had to do this, if he died in the assassination, there would be a successor, and if he compromised with Felipe II, more than ten years of resistance would be meaningless.

In fact, as Xu Jiugao expected, William died at the hands of the Assassins.

Gérald, the assassin who infiltrated William's house, fired three shots at William at the staircase of William's house who had just come downstairs, one of which hit William's heart, and William fell in a pool of blood, but this assassination made the Netherlands' will to resist into a rope, and even the Yugoslav Federation composed of more conservative nobles had to resist more resolutely.

William died, but he remained alive as the father of the Netherlands.

Zhu Yijun didn't let the third lady assassinate Altan Khan for this reason, killing was simple, but wouldn't Altan Khan directly degenerate into a stubborn and stubborn totem? Everyone fought on the frontal battlefield, winning or losing, Felipe II killed William the Silent, but the Netherlands was still independent.

The Queen of England has made up her mind to cooperate with the Netherlands to jointly fight against Spain, the overlord of Tessie, out of security considerations, but also out of interest considerations.

"Representative." Zhu Yijun's hand kept knocking on the table.

There are two main types of representative systems, one is the monarchical parliamentary system, the other is the head of state parliamentary system, the difference is that one retains the king, the other does not retain the king, and the head of state is the king or chief executive officer.

This is completely different from the system of the Ming Dynasty, even if Emperor Jiajing lived in Xiyuan, Emperor Longqing was hidden, and Emperor Wanli was suspicious of Shaoguo in the first ten years, and Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Ju were dealing with state affairs, which looked a bit like a constitutional monarchy.

The monarch as the supreme leader of the dynasty is sacred and inviolable, but does not deal with state affairs, and even the Ming Dynasty's internal and national funds in the Jiajing period completely separated, clear and distinct, as long as 41 years, the Ming Emperor lived in a simple place, the Ming Dynasty seems to only know the first assistant, do not know the emperor.

But not representative, because the ultimate decision-making power never left the emperor.

The Ming Dynasty is in the era of great changes in great speculation, Zhu Yijun thought about the pros and cons of the representative system, and finally chose to shake his head, there is nothing worth learning from, because the Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions, the Ming Dynasty is too big, the population is too large, and the administrative cost of the representative system is not something that the current Ming court can afford.

"The minister has auspicious offerings." Xu Jiugao saw that His Majesty's thoughts were over, and immediately bowed his head and said.

Xu Jiugao pulled out the first piece of red silk cloth, not the oval polished twelve catties of pearls, but a box of grass, with thick stalks, lush branches and leaves, and a crunchy texture, Xu Jiugao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is the seed that the minister bought in Sun City, Mexico, called Qinglan grass." ”

"It's a good pasture."

Zhu Yijun immediately became interested, looked at the forage introduced by Xu Jiugao, and began to ask about the details of this forage, annual plants, just like leeks, can be cut 7 to 9 times a year, each mu of grassland, can produce about 20,000 catties of forage grass per year, acid and slightly salt and alkali resistance, water and fertilizer resistance, heat resistance, can be silage, can also be used as a long-term storage after drying.

"This is also a kind of pasture grass, called yellow bamboo grass, it is different from Qinglan, it is a perennial plant, each acre can be cut 10 to 20 times, the annual output exceeds 20,000 catties, an acre of land can be fed 4 cows or 20 sheep or 200 rabbits, barren, moisture-resistant, cold-resistant." Xu Jiugao introduced the second type of forage, which is more suitable for large-scale cultivation.

Qinglan is more nutritious and can even be used to raise horses, but the yield is slightly insufficient, but yellow bamboo grass does not have this shortcoming, a planting can be harvested for several years, the management is more extensive, do not need to be intensively cultivated.

Qinglan raises horses, and Huangzhu raises sheep.

"Good, good!" Zhu Yijun was quite satisfied with these two high-quality pastures, and nodded again and again and said: "Send Baoqi Division and let Xu Zhenming take care of it, this is a good thing." ”

Dozed off and sent a pillow, Daming is in Wanghua Beiyu, Wanghua needs to be operated, insufficient precipitation, coupled with the barren land, the yield of grassland land is limited, and these two kinds of forage came at the right time.

Qinglan was purchased by Xu Jiugao in Cité Soleil, Mexico, and the yellow bamboo grass was discovered by Xu Jiugao himself, and the Viceroyalty of Peru cut the grass to raise sheep, and intensively cultivated this high-level technology of farming, the herdsmen of Peru did not point it out, and the locals regarded it as a gift from God, and Xu Jiugao immediately realized its significance.

His Majesty's personal affairs of agriculture and mulberry, although the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical significance, but His Majesty is really very concerned about the matter of agriculture and mulberry, and there is something good at the top, and it will be very bad at the bottom, so Xu Jiugao has been paying attention to all kinds of crops in the places he has been going to.

Xu Jiugao found a lot, and these two kinds of forage grass are what Xu Jiugao values the most.

Obviously, patting on the back is by no means a simple matter, Xu Jiugao has read the agricultural book, which was annotated by His Majesty himself.

"The second auspicious piece of the minister is the biggest harvest of this voyage, the star map along the way, the needle map, and the navigation notes written by the minister and Deputy Envoy Liu along the way." Xu Jiugao felt that these could be called auspicious.

In the eyes of Ming readers, the most precious thing is knowledge.

Zhu Yijun also thinks so.
