Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 622
The biggest shortcoming of Du Yinxi's pilgrimage is that it ignores the thoughts and dignity of the sovereign, as well as the actual situation.

They could kneel down to the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, or call themselves ministers, but as the lords of a country, it was absolutely impossible for them to leave the capital and come to Beijing to have an audience.

The centralization of these vassal states is not as powerful as imagined. Once they leave the capital, the state will instantly be turbulent.

After all, even Annan has a population of millions. It has established a small Chinese tributary system in the Indochina Peninsula.

The Japanese Tokugawa shogunate's system of visiting pilgrimage is mainly to consume the financial resources of the vassal states (thousands of samurai in each vassal state live in Edo), one year in Edo and one year at home.

In the end, the feudal lords all regarded Edo as their home and were reluctant to leave, so that the shogunate had to drive him home to control the feudal land, so as not to be taken advantage of by his subordinates.

If it is used in China, it will not adapt to the environment.

"Perhaps, this is also on purpose."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yixi smiled lightly, saying nothing.

He has seen a lot of this kind of low-ranking tricks.

No, the emperor had to summon him again.

"Everything else is fine, except that the pilgrimage is too much, and it can be changed from a vassal state to a chieftain and other restricted areas."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Du Yinxi praised it.

After discussing for half an hour, he left the palace.

Subsequently, the cabinet drafted a decree that Du Yinxi officially resigned from the post of governor of Jiangsu and served as the secretary of the Lifan Academy.

As for the candidate for the governor of Jiangsu, the emperor chose Zhu Yiquan, the chief envoy of Jiangsu, who performed mediocrely.

After all, he is also a fellow villager, or he is from the clan, so it is inevitable to take care of one or two.

At this time, the appointment and removal of Ding Kuichu, governor of Guangdong, was also brewing in the court.

After taking control of Nanjing, in order to gather strength and immediately expel Jiannu, the imperial court made a compromise, and appointed the chief envoys and governors of the southern provinces, such as Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, in their original posts.

Now that the government in Beijing is becoming more and more stable, it is time to make arrangements.

Therefore, Ding Kuichu is greedy and despicable, so let's get rid of him!
"My minister recommended Shen Youlong, the governor of Guangdong Province, as the governor. He is a native of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture (now Songjiang, Shanghai).

Yan Chongxin described Ding Kuichu's greed in detail. He smuggled goods and extorted foreign businessmen in Guangdong, making Guangdong a mess, and his family's wealth was close to one million.

Shen Youlong has great ambitions, and he wants to change his administration more easily and restore Guangdong Province to normal.

"The minister recommends Li Yongmao, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, a ten-year Jinshi in Chongzhen, and Li Yongmao of Dengzhou as the governor of Guangdong."

Zhang Shenyan was the same as before. He thought that although the Hongguang court was a bit useless, it was only the six bastards in the cabinet headed by Ma Shiying, and the others were pretty good.

It is precisely because of this that many old Hongguang officials gathered around him after he became the second assistant of the cabinet.

Zhu Yixi was well aware of this.

After he punished the capitulation faction headed by Qian Qianyi, he forgave the middle and lower officials.

Unite all forces that can be united.

"Where is the chief assistant?" The emperor looked at the silent Zhao Shu and asked.

When the cabinet was divided into powers, the personnel power of the Ministry of Officials was divided into four. Everyone in the cabinet can recommend it, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials can also do it.

It's just about Fang Bo of a province, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has no right to speak.

"I recommend He Tengjiao!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Who is He Tengjiao?
At that time, he was appointed and dismissed by Hongguang as the governor of Huguang, and stationed troops in Jiujiang. Later, he had to go to Guizhou to recover Yunnan.

The result was unsatisfactory, and he had to retreat in defeat.

When the emperor succeeded to the throne, he lived in seclusion in his hometown and did not dare to become an official. After all, he was also a person who opposed the emperor.

Hearing this, Zhu Yixi fell into deep thought.

Even though the history in his memory is somewhat vague, He Tengjiao's name is still vaguely remembered.

Its governor, Huguang, did not know how to use soldiers and did not know how to use people, which led to Huguang's corruption and eventually lost this place.

I don't know Bing, this is the first impression.

Suddenly, the atmosphere fell into silence.

"Guangdong is an important place of wealth and endowment. We must investigate it. Let Li Youlong take over!"

The emperor suddenly said: "As for He Tengjiao, let him enter the court and serve as Minister of the Imperial Palace."

"As for Li Yongmao, although he is serving as a minister, his qualifications are a bit low after all. Guizhou still lacks a governor, so let him take the position!"

The three of them did not expect that the three candidates they recommended would all be appointed.

"Since the name has been changed to Suiyuan Province, you have to get together the governor, chief envoy, and procuratorial envoy of that province."

The emperor waved his hand and made a request: "Recommend a few more people, and they must be smart and capable."

Du Yinxi naturally didn't know that his departure had caused great changes in the place and how many people had left.

After leaving the palace, he took a rest and then met with Zhu Mou, Minister of the Household Department.

"Big Situ, be polite!" Du Yinxi smiled and cupped his hands.

Hubu Shangshu is also called Situ, which is a good name for advocating ancient times.

"Mr. Du, be polite." Zhu Mou was also very modest, smiled and sat down separately.

"You are a big celebrity. You have just entered Beijing, and you have entered the palace twice. The whole city of Beijing is talking about you, your favorite!"

"How can I afford to say that I am a favorite minister?"

Du Yinxi shook his head and sighed: "It's hard, hard to be an official and finally enter the center today."

"There is nothing difficult about Li Fan Yuan."

Zhu Mou knew that there was something in his words, and said calmly: "The most important thing in the imperial court is the Chahar tribe, which is next to Xuanda, and Lin Danhan, the father of Abu Nai, is also the hero of the grassland. Pushing him away will divide the situation of building slaves in the grassland... ..."

"The second is North Korea, but now that Seoul has been recovered and North Korea is reborn, this is an opportunity for you Lifan Yuan. For those dependent countries, North Korea is a signboard, don't miss it..."

Listening to them one by one, Du Yinxi only felt that he had benefited a lot.

This is far more detailed and practical than the Three Strategies of Li Fan presented by him.

This time, it was not a loss.

After drinking and eating, the two bid farewell to each other, feeling a little bit of sympathy for a while.

But Zhu Mou understood that even though Du Yinxi came late, it was the biggest obstacle for him to enter the cabinet.

The warm wind was blowing, which made him sober up a bit: "Obstacle? Apart from him, who is not obstructing the other five people?"

"By the way, Lu Daqi's border patrol is over this time, and he is definitely joining the cabinet. The post of minister of the Ministry of War must be vacated again."

Du Yinxi was helped back to the mansion, and fell asleep soundly.

The next day, the eunuch came to the door and read out the decree.

From today onwards, he is the Shangshu of the Lifan Academy, a senior official of the second rank.

"Wang Ernong, why did you arrive so soon?"

Du Yinxi was very happy to see Wang Fuzhi visiting and congratulating him.

"How dare the students stay in Tongzhou on Dugong's big day?"

Wang Fuzhi said respectfully.

"You are from Juren."

As soon as Du Yinxi's identity changed, his thoughts also changed: "Although the Imperial College is good, it will take a few years to delay."

"If you are thoughtful, you can participate in the election of officials, and it is also feasible to recommend you as a county magistrate."

"Mr. Du's kindness, my husband's heart accepts it." Wang Fuzhi shook his head: "I still want to be named on the gold list——"
