Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Wenfang: "Why don't you avoid all the avoidances in our vein?" ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded without thinking: "It's okay, it's still the most important thing to establish the great cause of the empire on which the sun never sets, don't fix these vain heads every day." ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Why is Japan called Japan, it is recorded in the "Old Tang Book: The Biography of Dongyi": It is named after Japan because its country is on the Japanese side.

It is also recorded in the Book of Sui: The Biography of the Wa Kingdom that Japan sent envoys to the Great Sui, and there was a saying in the national letter that "the Son of Heaven at sunrise sent a letter to the Son of Heaven on the day of the book".

Let's consider Japan as the place of the sunrise for the time being.

Now the place of sunrise has been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But the Ming Dynasty is not the place where the sun sets, and to the west there are the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the Golden Horde, the Timurid Empire, the Black Sheep Dynasty, the Aries Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire, the Crimean Khanate, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

We must at least fight to Egypt like the Mongol expedition to the west, so that we can barely call it an empire on which the sun never sets.

To achieve this goal, we will expand our territory to the west for another 10,000 miles. ”

Zhu Wenfang asked: "If our ancestors and grandchildren have three generations of Ming Jun, can we realize this wish?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it can work." Three generations of Genghis Khan's ancestors and grandchildren have beaten it, why can't we fight it, where are we worse than them, not to mention that there are powerful sailors in the Ming Dynasty.

With the help of the sailors, we will send troops and grain and grass baggage, which is much less than the Mongols attacking only by land, and the supply pressure is much smaller.

The Great Army attacked the Aries dynasty directly from the sea, and then faced the Ottoman Empire to the west and the Timurid Empire to the east.

But I mean, I won't be able to fight this battle during my reign. It's easy to say, but only by preparing for decades in advance, a little bit of cannibalization, a little bit of layout, can finally be accumulated.

Today, the Ottoman Empire and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, like us, are also in a stage of rapid expansion, and it will take decades to expand.

Let me prophesy to you, in another 50 years, the pattern of the world will change greatly. ”

Zhu Wenfang asked again: "Then are we going to destroy the Ottoman Empire and the Grand Duchy of Moscow?" ”

"There is no need to compete with the Ottoman Empire, it is enough to destroy the Mongol khanates.

It's useless to tell you too far now, and if you want to be completely ruled by the imperial court, you really can't do it if it's too far away.

What I mean is to divide the princes of our lineage and let them run their own business. ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded and said no more.

Zhu Qiyu asked He Yi again: "Xingyi, let's deal with the recent report." ”

He Yi replied: "Jiang Lin, the governor of Guizhou, the left deputy capital, reported that Guizhou commanded Zhao Xin to kill dozens of Miao Yi, forcibly seize his wives and concubines, and extort tyranny without calculation, and provoke the Yi people to rebel.

and sent his military wives to command Li Jian.

Now that Zhao Xin is dead, Jiang Lin requested that Zhao Xin be beheaded, the whole family was exiled, and Li Jian was detained and punished. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly at Zhu Wenfang and said: "See, why do the people of Yunnan and Guizhou always rebel, and those who give the wives of their subordinates to their colleagues, who are these people." ”

He Yi added: "Holy Lord, it's not over yet. Previously, Jiang Lin had reported to the Guizhou Political Envoy that Senator Chen Shu and Secretary Li Shuyi accepted bribes to exonerate people from death, and the imperial court ordered the patrol to govern them according to the imperial history.

Now, Li Shuyi has countersued Jiang Lin, claiming that he commanded Zhao Xin in his unauthorized arrest, and Zhao Xin died violently in prison. Jiang Lin did not have his family property, and killed dozens of commanders, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and soldiers.

In addition, Jiang Lin was bribed by commander Wu Sheng and others to recommend him. He also occupies the young daughters of his subordinates, and his greed and cruelty are incalculable. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Wenfang, father and son, covered their heads in sync.

This is also too a headache, the old problem of local officialdom in Daming, there are often embarrassing scenes where you sue me, and I will sue you in turn.

Whether it's true or false, it's a false accusation, anyway, let's sue first. See who is loud enough to win attention and sympathy.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly woke up, isn't this the Ming version of a small composition.

In the face of small essays, first, you can't blindly stand in line, and you must be skeptical of both parties involved.

Second, look at the evidence cited by both sides.

Third, logical reasoning, initiating brainstorming.

Fourth, look at the official announcement.

Specific to the matter in front of him, Zhu Qiyu reasoned a little. First of all, Zhao Xin is dead, no doubt.

As for whether he was arrested by Jiang Lin without authorization and died in prison, it remains to be verified. But Zhu Qiyu is inclined to believe that this is also true.

It is also possible that Jiang Linzhu killed dozens of Zhao Xin's thousands of households, hundreds of households, and soldiers.

The current governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is rich in his life, and when he was an official in Shanxi, he did this kind of thing because he was too upright and could not see corruption and bend the law.

As for Jiang Lin accepting bribes and bullying young girls, there is no way to reason about this.

He Yi asked, "Holy Lord, how should we deal with this matter?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied: "According to the reform measures agreed before, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will send three supervisors to supervise the imperial history, and the Ministry of Officials will send three directors to Guizhou.

Let them work with the governor of Guizhou, a total of seven people, to conduct a thorough investigation of the case. ”

The first shot of the reform of government officials can be regarded as a fire in Guizhou.

Zhu Qiyu added: "I personally inquired into this case and gave a sample to the officials of various provinces. Later, each province was supervised by a governor of the imperial history, three superintendents of the imperial history, and three directors of the Ministry of Officials jointly supervised the civil and military officials, forming a formal system.

There was another lawsuit involving civil and military officials, which was preliminarily examined by these seven people, collected evidence, and reported to the Beijing Division. ”

To a certain extent, this can check and balance the law enforcement power of the governor and governor.

It has also made it more difficult for local officials to commit adultery and deceive their superiors and subordinates. If you want to buy all these seven imperial historians and principals, the difficulty is not as great as the average two.

A few people talked a lot more, and then they dispersed.

Zhu Qiyu returned home, soaked in the hot springs, changed into civilian clothes, and then half-lay down on the couch and enjoyed a quiet time.

This heart, I can't finish it no matter how I it, Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, there are two heavy snowfalls in winter, and this year Zhili should be smooth."

How is the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor doing? I gave them so much land, is it enough now? ”

Qianxue said with a smile: "It's very good to be in charge of Shanglin Yuan, since it was transferred to Jing Zhaoyin and the left, right, front and rear offices of the wardens have been added, the ration supply has been strictly supervised, and the waste of Guanglu Temple and Shangshan Supervisor has been greatly reduced."

That's it, those female officials and eunuchs in the inner court are not very happy. They couldn't get any more oil and water from the supply of Shanglin Yuanjian, so they set their eyes on Si Yuanjian again, thinking about getting involved. ”

"Who is so bold that even the Si Yuan Supervisor dares to get involved and send them on the road?"

Qianxue said with a smile: "Li Shangshi and Wang Sishan of the Shangshi Bureau are the most jumping. But after all, they are just talking, and there are no actual actions, and we can't kill them directly, which will make Chaoyun and Duyu two sisters unbearable. ”
