Chapter 182: The old man divides up the family

Zhu Gaochi sat behind the desk, still thinking carefully about Su Guan's words just now.

Sooner or later, a new political envoy will take office.

This is the power of the courtiers, they decide who to choose the political envoy, or recommend it to Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Di can't interfere with this personnel power.

In the next few years, Zhu Gaochi did not know what the relationship between the political envoys of Beiping and the Yanwangfu would be.

But there is a record in the impression that is worth analyzing.

After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the political envoy of Beiping was replaced, so can it be considered that the original political envoy did not have Zhu Yunwen's trust.

To be precise, it is the decision of the Auxiliary Minister.

Yan Dut, the political envoy of Beiping, is either not a core member of the prince's line, or his performance in Beiping is not trusted by the prince's family.

Whether it is the former or the latter, it shows that this person has the value of wooing.

"Based on my understanding of Zheng Yanshi, his personality should be reluctant to meet with the palace, maybe the palace's recent actions have been a bit big, which has attracted the attention of Ying Tianfu, and I suspect that someone is staring at him." Su Guan analyzed on the side.

The order to dismiss the iron has already been issued, and the ambassador of the Iron Smelting Institute, from an official of the eighth grade, has become a miscellaneous official who does not enter the stream, which shocked him into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he left early, otherwise his lifelong future would have been ruined in the iron smelting plant.

Before and after the dismissal of the iron order, the situation is completely different, the former may be able to be promoted if the operation is good, and the latter may not be able to jump out of the quagmire, even if he is lucky to jump out, it is already the upper limit to be able to level the adjustment.

Just like the Changshi Mansion, from the left phase of the second product to the left long history of the fifth product, how many aspiring people have been pitted.

At that time, the rank of the vassal could be adjusted on a par with the official of the imperial court, and he also had a seat in the court.

And the political envoy of the governor of a province is also a second-class person.

Zhu Gaochi listened to Su Guan's analysis, and what he was thinking about was speculation about the psychological activities of these middle- and lower-level officials.

The reason why the palace was able to win over many middle and lower-level officials in Beiping was because of the inertia left over from history.

The abolition of the left prime minister indicates that the imperial court separated the administrative power of the vassal king in the domain.

But power does not die all at once, there will be an inertia.

So when Zhu Di rebelled, many middle- and lower-level officials in Beiping secretly stood in line, and even some officials took the initiative to tell Zhu Di the news of the imperial court, which gave him a lot of opportunities.

This kind of political situation was unimaginable for officials in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it was even more fantastical in the late Ming Dynasty.

The right is from the top down, and it is inseparable from the support of the below, and the top and bottom need each other, and the current political situation is operable.

Zhu Di has advanced and retreated to a certain extent over the years, and has maintained considerable prestige among the middle and lower-level officials in Beiping, which is the basis for him to display his political skills in Beiping Province.

However, the standard line of tacit understanding reached between him and the government is too low in Zhu Gaochi's opinion, and he needs the palace to have greater rights.

That is, to fight, but also to compromise.

How to fight against the new political envoys, compromise with them, and maintain a new tacit understanding, Zhu Gaochi is not sure.

But according to the analysis of history, he has some confidence.

If Zhu Yunwen did not change this person to deal with the palace after he ascended the throne, it would mean that he had no chance.

"Can Zheng Yishi be co-opted?" Zhu Gaochi asked tentatively.

Su Guan shook his head, his attitude was very positive, and he didn't give people any illusions, "Zheng Yanshi's ancestral home is Yingtianfu, and the relationship between the teachers and the department is on the side of the court, so it is impossible to change his position." ”

The roots are red, Zhu Gaochi immediately gave up.

"So he's going to deal with the palace?"

"No, it won't." Su Guan smiled, although the little prince is wise, after all, he has not experienced officialdom and does not understand the thoughts of officials.

"He mainly wants to protect himself, he doesn't want to really tear his face with the palace, and he also wants to protect the reputation of Yingtianfu."

"Although it seems that he is dissatisfied with the palace, he actually does things in a measured manner." Su Guan explained, and said solemnly: "But you can't underestimate him, he won over middle and lower-level officials, although his wrist was not fierce, but it could be said that he hit seven inches of the palace." ”

The reason why the royal government can retain administrative power is precisely because there are a group of middle- and lower-level officials below who are willing to obey the king's orders.

In the past six months, if middle- and lower-level officials are unwilling to listen to the king's orders from the palace, the palace will not be able to do anything with just one procrastination.

After all, the name of the palace is not right, and it is no longer the era of the left minister.

Zhu Gaochi frowned, although he saw the problem, he really couldn't help Zheng Yuncheng for a while, and the other party acted according to the rules.

There is also a way to flip the table.

The King of Qin in Shaanxi adopted this method, beating and scolding disobedient officials and forcing them to obey his royal orders.

His ending has proven that this method is a failure.

"Wait." Su Guan proposed.

Zhu Gaochi showed doubts.

"After all, he is just a five-grade servant, and in the end, it depends on the new political envoy, so no matter how powerful his skills are, he is not rightly named."

"The imperial court didn't say that he would be in charge of the political secretary, but it was just because he was currently the highest grade."

"The energy of the royal palace does not need to be put on him, so as to avoid radicalizing him, and it can go all out to deal with the new political envoy."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, took Su Guan's suggestion, and said, "When the new political envoy takes office, let's give him a big gift." ”

"Money is easy to cause dissatisfaction." Su Guan said worriedly.

The head of a province with two products, if the little prince gives a precious gift, the other party may not accept it, but it will be unbeautiful.

"You can't take anything that is yellow or white." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

His big gift is naturally related to interests, but it is not so straightforward, as long as the new political envoy does not hate the palace, he will not refuse, and he can also try out the position of the new political envoy.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhu Gaochi got busy and implemented the previous guards.

Those who are 35 years old and have been in the army for more than five years can apply for discharge, but they need to make up for it from the family.

After Zhengding was discharged from the army, the palace was responsible for distributing the work.

Shi Jinzhong, the right chief of the Changshi Mansion, is responsible for this matter, preparing for the military affairs department, and is dedicated to this matter, connecting with each guard at the top and China Heavy Industry at the bottom.

Yanshan Sanwei was the first to be implemented, and then Tongzhou Wei.

Zhu Gaochi made a special trip to Tongzhou Wei and met with the commander of Tongzhou Wei, and the two talked happily.

Tongzhou Wei is in the east of Beiping Mansion, geographically closest to the palace of the guard, when Zhu Di rebelled, it was the first initiative to belong to the guard.

"Shibo's support, the palace will not forget." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

The commander of Yanshan Sanwei, Zhu Gaochi changed his position from Shibo, not because he was attracted and abandoned, but because he became closer.

And although Tongzhou Wei is interested in the palace, it is Zhu Di's prestige, and it has nothing to do with him Zhu Gaochi, and he must be polite when dealing with him at the beginning.

The commander of Tongzhou Wei was very polite, and he did not hold his own identity because Zhu Gaochi was not the prince, and the impression of both parties was good.

Yanshan Sanwei has already provided a large number of laborers, and they also have to serve in the palace, so under this new decree, there has not been much change.

Tongzhou Wei also provided some labor to China Heavy Industries, but when this decree was announced in Tongzhou Wei, many applications for discharge from the army were still received in a short period of time.

on country roads.

A man returned to the guardhouse, empty-handed, and the family had lunch, living in an earthen embryo house, and built three houses.

The old couple live in the main house, the eldest daughter has been married for many years, and they are also military households in the health center.

In the evening, the summer heat made people unbearable, the family took a cool break at the gate of the courtyard, and the three children of the two families ran to play with children elsewhere.

"The second child, you will retire from the army and become Yu Ding, and the third child will become a soldier." The old man spoke.

The second child has no opinion, the palace assigns work, some say twelve taels of silver a year, and some say eighteen taels of silver a year.

Even if he can have ten taels of silver a year, the man is satisfied.

There are a lot of acres of land at home, but there are many people, and I can't see a few taels of silver all year round, and I can't save it.

The third child has no opinion.

When Yu Ding also has to serve, but unlike Zhengding who wants to fight, he is definitely unwilling to change with his second brother in the past.

But he inquired, after retiring, he can enter China Heavy Industry, and he only needs to serve in the military for five years, which is a good deal.

"As long as the fourth brother agrees, he will replace me in the camp in five years." The third child brought it up in public.

A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with his head bowed and not speaking.

There are requirements for decommissioning.

Yu Ding and Zheng Ding are indispensable, and Yu Ding's service can be reduced, and the service can be replaced by training in the factory.

However, Zhengding retired and must be replaced by Yu Ding.

The second brother is replaced by the third brother, and the third brother is free to take over, so who will take over? A few of my nephews are still young.

The atmosphere cooled down.

The second and third children are embarrassed to speak, but if the fourth child does not let go, this thing will not be done. The daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law inside the courtyard gate pricked up their ears and listened.

"Fourth, your second brother and third brother have nothing to say to you since you were a child." The second daughter-in-law couldn't help but say outside.

"Shut up." The second one yelled.

"What's the roar?" The old man scolded, and the second child hurriedly didn't dare to speak again.

There are both bad and good things about Confucianism.

When people can eat enough, a certain amount of social justice is maintained.

This level of social justice is not enough to look at in later generations, but in today's era, looking at the whole world is the ideal country.

The old man is old, and his physical strength is not as good as that of his sons, but he can be in charge.

For example, in the Russian childhood trilogy, several sons fought for the family property, until they used weapons, ignoring the old man in the family, and after fighting for the family property, they threw away the old man and let him eat chaff and drink thin chaff, and let himself destroy himself, which did not work in ancient China.

"I agree." Although the fourth child felt that he was unfair, for the sake of brotherhood, he still relented and agreed.

The atmosphere immediately improved.

The concubines in the courtyard also smiled, thinking that the little uncle was still sensible.

The second brother moved his mouth and held back, although he felt that it was not good for the fourth brother, he was not willing to give up the opportunity to enter the factory.

Now the factory is difficult to enter, and ordinary people can't get in.
