Qiming 1158

Chapter 781 Are there still few people who offend this group of rotten Confucians in the court?

Yelu Yuanyi said this, Yelu Chenghui suddenly thought of Yelu Jin, who was not tall and thin but was appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

He didn't come to the meeting today because he was out on business.

But it sounds like Yelujin has been secretly collecting evidence to prepare to blast the Ministry of Rites?
The Ministry of Rites can be called the base camp of Shandong-style civil servants. A large number of Shandong-style civil servants serve in the Ministry of Rites. Yelujin, as an absolute minority, has been in the Ministry of Rites since he served as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. News that Yelujin was suppressed and isolated.

It is said that he was very miserable in the Ministry of Rites, his father did not love his mother, and even the street mouse lived warmer than him.

However, he did not have any objections, nor did he propose to change jobs or anything. He still served as the right servant in the Ministry of Rites. Later, in the dispute over the imperial examination, Su Yonglin took advantage of the situation to suppress the civil servants of the Shandong department and handed over all the preparations for the imperial examination to Yelujin. , he led the establishment of the Examination Division, which fully arranged the first imperial examinations.

very successful.

Therefore, Yelujin is now in power in the Ministry of Rites, and his examination department is responsible for all the work related to the imperial examinations, including the establishment and maintenance of the central and local examination venues.

When the second imperial examination begins in the future, he will also take the lead in organizing professionals to write questions for the imperial examination, so he has gathered a group of non-Shandong civil servants to help him.

But despite this, these people are still in the minority in the entire Ministry of Rites, and they are not enough to help Yelujin reverse the disadvantage and win the initiative in the Ministry of Rites. The Minister of Rites and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites are still from Shandong.

From this point of view, it is no easy task to fight a bloody path under the siege. Unless Yelujin is sure, he will never act rashly.

"Does Yelujin have their handle?"

"He didn't say it clearly, maybe it's not hard evidence, but I think it's not far off. Yelujin wants to collect more evidence so that they can be killed in one breath."

Yelu Yuanyi put away his smile and put on a solemn face: "I'm interested in the Yellow River project, don't say that Yelujin and I want them to die, if this is stabbed out, if it doesn't roll around, our emperor will still be the emperor. Your Majesty?"

Yelu Chenghui immediately felt that the problem was very serious, and this matter might be very deep.

"You can be careful, the target of the Yellow River project is too big, and it will really involve a big deal. This matter is definitely not something we can handle alone."

"Don't worry, Zuo Cheng, aren't there still a few people who offend this group of Confucians in the court?"

Yelu Yuanyi cast his eyes into the distance: "Apart from us, the Yanyun people also don't deal with them. They are so arrogant and arrogant, it's definitely not just us who want them to die within the court."

Yelu Chenghui took a deep breath and felt that during the time when he was at the Shangshutai and seriously handling the heavy government affairs, the Ming court seemed to have undergone a lot of changes.

Perhaps he is too focused on government affairs and has no time to pay attention to changes in this area.

But it is precisely because there are so many government affairs in the DPRK and China that they are so busy, how can these people still have the time to engage in political struggles?
Or is it that my understanding is wrong, no matter how busy the court is, there will definitely be political struggles?

Yelu Chenghui suddenly felt that he still lacked the experience of being a senior official in the central government.

I have been going back and forth in the first half of my life, I have never served as a high-ranking official in the central government, and I don't know how the high-ranking central officials play the power game.

He suddenly entered the central government as a high-ranking official, and the disadvantages of inexperience are all at a glance. He didn't realize the turbulent situation in time, let alone how Yelujin acted, and how Yelu Yuanyi knew about it.

It seems that we still need to study more in this regard, or one day someone will plot against it and we won't know who did it.

But then again, Shandong has made too many enemies in the DPRK.

Apart from the Yuan Cong clan who followed Su Yonglin to conquer the world, the foreign clan clan and Yanyun clan were both dissatisfied with them, and had great differences and entanglement of interests, longing for their total destruction.

This time, if they really start with the Yellow River project, they will really be asking for a dead end.

Once the Yellow River Project is successful, it will be a credit for catching up with Dayu. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the Ming Kingdom to be benevolent to the people of the world, and it is not impossible to directly condense the national character to the peak.

If something goes wrong with the Yellow River Project, Su Yonglin will definitely kill someone.

What can't these guys do, why are they targeting the Yellow River Project?

Yelu Chenghui was puzzled.

Su Yonglin didn't know that his courtiers were secretly fighting, and they were preparing to set off one political storm after another, but even if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised.

To expect this group of old bureaucrats and old scholars to do things honestly and not to compete for power and interests, that is not even a thought.

He is very willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to his work without caring about how much he gains, but he cannot selfishly think that everyone is selfless.

These people will inevitably struggle for their own ideals and interests, or struggle.

Su Yonglin can accept it, but he cannot accept that this kind of struggle is based on harming national interests.

If this is the case, both sides will eat his iron fist.

Fighting, yes, but it can't harm national interests. If it harms national interests, don't blame him for turning his face and ignoring people.

Fortunately, Su Yonglin felt that his deterrence was enough.

Just like this meeting, although the gains were limited, it also determined the short-term and long-term strategies for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the grassland problem.

The short-term strategy is to hoe the strong and help the weak, and do a good job of this grassland stirrer, so that the grassland cannot live in peace.

The long-term strategy is to develop science and technology, and promote industrial upgrading through the advancement of science and technology, so as to incorporate the grasslands into the economic system of the Central Plains and become an inseparable part, earning real benefits rather than simply investing, and avoiding the death of people.

This is a practical and effective course of action.

In mid-November, all the Northern Expedition troops returned, and Han Jinggui and others also returned to the Central Capital with a large number of prisoners to accept Su Yonglin's review and rewards, and perform a prisoner dedication ceremony.

Su Yonglin presided over the ceremony of offering prisoners with Kong Zheng, Minister of Rites, and then announced that Tuoli, the leader of Kelie's tribe, and the leaders of Qiyan's tribe should also be beheaded.

They will be beheaded in public, along with all the dignitaries of their tribe, and not a single one will be left.

The Ming Dynasty was never lenient towards enemies and those who dared to provoke them, and would definitely kill them all.

As a result, they were pushed outside the main gate to the north of the Central Capital, and were collectively beheaded under Su Yonglin's gaze.

A total of 370 six people were beheaded, and their identities were all dignitaries of Klein and the Qiyan Department.

After these people were all beheaded, the rest of the ordinary subordinates had no leader, no organization, and no threat. Su Yonglin dispersed them and sent them to work as coolies on various construction sites of the Yellow River Project. All of them will go to the Yellow River construction site. Do the work and assist in the renovation of the Yellow River.

At the same time, Su Yonglin promised them that the day when the Yellow River project was completed would be the time when they regained their freedom.

At that time, the Daming Emperor will forgive their past sins, release them, and give them freedom.

So all the ministers praised Su Yonglin's benevolence.

Is this Rende?
Of course Rende.

As captives, it is the greatest benevolence for the victors not to kill them, so what else do they want?

The grassland war came to an end, and the Ming Empire successfully eliminated the Kelie and Qiyan tribes who provoked them through this rapid attack. These two tribes no longer had the possibility to dominate the grasslands.

This battle successfully established Daming's prestige and status on the grasslands. At least until the Yellow River project was successfully completed, no one on the grasslands would dare to go south to invade Daming.

This is the so-called punching, lest a hundred punches come, from the perspective of national interests, it has obtained hidden benefits far exceeding war expenditures.

Of course, the immediate benefits are also huge.

Not to mention war horses and cattle and sheep, there are too many things to see at a glance, and it feels like the whole grassland can be eaten up. There are also many other bone products and leather products that can be sold at a good price in the market.

Of course, there are also a large amount of gold, silver and other jewelry, which enriched the Daming treasury and injected new vitality into the empty Daming treasury after the renovation of the Yellow River. Lin Jingchun smiled as he watched the wealth transported into the treasury. Can't open.
