Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 136 Kong has a tumor, the bell rings at night

In terms of the local military system, out of stability considerations, he does not intend to change the mode of controlling military forces with words.It's just that he is not superstitious about Liu Daxia and his like in the selection and appointment of military talents.

In fact, many so-called good ministers and famous ministers just gained their status and reputation by virtue of their seniority, but when looking at their achievements, there is often nothing.

Although these people have been written about by the civil service group, the most praised political achievements are usually: maintaining stability and rectifying military discipline.

It's just that he obviously has the strength to invade, if he can't even make a turtle with a shrunken head, then he can kill it with a piece of tofu.As for the rectification of military discipline, one can imagine the moisture of this kind of political achievement.

Although Wang Hua has not shown military talent so far, how can a person who can win the first prize be a mediocre person, as long as he really wants to do something, he can still be qualified for the post of governor of Southern Jiangxi.

Before Wang Shouren became the governor of Southern Jiangxi, he actually did not show strong military talent.In the end, in the face of King Ning's rebellion, he easily wiped out this rebellious force and became a rare handsome talent among civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, he was not looking for a general who would personally lead the troops to fight the enemy. With Wang Hua's knowledge, vision and wisdom, he might not be inferior to Liu Daxia and his ilk.

In particular, the governor of Southern Jiangxi was initially established after all, and the area under his jurisdiction is a remote place. Now that the imperial court sends a number one scholar to go down, it will attract the attention of people all over the world.

Once the imperial court has expressed its determination, relying on the manpower and material resources possessed by the Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult for the junction of the four provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, and Jiangxi to become a big climate.

Governing the country should not only focus on the present, but should be based on the long-term.Now that the governor of Southern Jiangxi is established, even if the rogues there cannot be killed, it is necessary to prevent them from growing bigger and prevent the appearance of big rebels like Feilong Kingdom in the future.

Zhu Youtang specially summoned the father of the sage today, one is to inspect Wang Hua's military talent, and the other is to ask Wang Hua's personal wishes.

After some exchanges, I realized that the champion who can educate saints is indeed not an ordinary person.

In fact, Huaxia has never been short of management talents. If he is the chief assistant, he may not be worse than Wan'an, and since he can't become Zhang Juzheng, he will be one of the three Yangs if he hands over the real power.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhu Youtang to cede power. After the meeting, he firmly believed that Hanlin Xiuzhuan Wang Huawai would be the governor of Southern Jiangxi, and he would have full power to deal with the Jiangxi rebellion.

Not only that, Tang Bao's network will also build a direct transmission route to Ganzhou Prefecture, so that the emperor can get military information more quickly, so as to cooperate with Wang Hua to dispatch troops more efficiently.

Only when the locality is truly peaceful, no matter what industry is the focus of support in the future, everyone will work together to seek development, so that it will be easier to develop the economy.

After sorting out these things, Zhu Youtang issued instructions on the Jiangxi rebellion: "The governor of Nangan Tingshao was added to the post of local admiral military affairs, stationed in Ganzhou Prefecture, to arrest robbers and thieves, to appease refugees, and to maintain local law and order! Hanlin Xiuzhuan Wang Huahua, the censor of Youqin Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, will serve as the governor of Southern Jiangxi, and he will leave immediately without delay!"

Since there is no Wang Yue in his prime, he has the right to take a gamble.Now try it with Wang Hua, the father of the saint, and you won't make any big mistakes, maybe you can really get a famous general.

As for the appointment of a Hanlin official as a local real position, it would break the conventional promotion path of Ci ministers. As long as Wang Hua did not resist, then naturally there would be no resistance.

As soon as his own Hall of Mental Cultivation is completed, the inheritance among poets and ministers is destined to be broken. In the future, if you really want to get status, you can no longer talk about seniority, but show real ability and political achievements.

For example, Wang Hua's appointment as the governor of Southern Jiangxi this time will naturally be abandoned if the situation in Ganzhou Prefecture and other jurisdictions deteriorates.

The crescent moon outside appears and disappears, while the candles in Dongnuange are crackling and burning, and the copywriting here is as bright as day.

Zhu Youtang is a diligent king. Although his beard has not grown yet, his eyes are firm and full of wisdom, and he is transforming into a qualified emperor.

The memorials on the case were categorized by the clerk, involving all aspects of the government affairs of the empire, including some important ceremonial arrangements in addition to the military.

In this state of etiquette, not to mention important celebrations, since it is the birthday and death day of the emperors and empresses of all dynasties, people are arranged to worship.

Zhu Youtang saw the note on Xingengyu Tianyi submitted by the Ministry of Rites, and saw that a lot of procedures had been cut down on it, and the time was chosen on February [-]th, so he agreed to the request of the Ministry of Rites.

After all, it is a farming country, and the plowing ceremony still needs to be held every year to get the support of the people.

I just frowned slightly when I saw that the Ministry of Rites invited Liu Ji, the young Fu and Prince Taishi Libu Shangshu Jinshen Palace Taishi, to go to Shandong to lay the ancestor Confucius.

Facing the steadfast Kong family, it is impossible to accept it.

Since the second year of Zhihe in the Song Dynasty, the eldest grandson of Confucius has been conferred the title of Wei Shenggong by successive dynasties. Now Kong Hongtai, the 60th grandson of Confucius, has inherited the title. It is now the No. [-] generation.

Originally, this position could not fall on Kong Hongtai's head, but his elder brother Kong Hongxu exposed the ugliness of human nature, even the descendants of Kong Shengren are no exception.

Kong Hongxu believed that Wei Shenggong had a noble status, and his father-in-law was Li Xian, the chief assistant of the dynasty, so he behaved perversely and killed innocent people indiscriminately.Later, he was exposed because of the overreach of the palace, so he was seized and deposed as a commoner, and was replaced by his younger brother Kong Hongtai.

It's just that the Kong family can become the only family that has crossed the long river of history. Naturally, it is impossible to destroy it because of the appearance of Kong Hongxu. In fact, it has not been shaken in the slightest. This has something to do with their aloof status.

Not to mention the courteous treatment of the Kong family in the previous dynasty, even in this dynasty, they are also full of favors.

During the period of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that [-] hectares of land would be given to sacrifice, and the rent would be collected every year for the sacrifice of mu.

In addition, the emperors of the past dynasties often bestowed generous gifts on Yan Shenggong in order to win a good name.

Ordinarily, Yan Shenggong was favored and rewarded by the imperial court, and should promote education to give back to the society, but after all, he is a bunch of greedy mortals.

As their wealth accumulated more and more, Yan Shenggong, like the officials and gentry in the world, tried to find ways to buy land everywhere, so that more unemployed people could become their tenants.

In the fourth year of orthodoxy, Duke Yansheng asked the Ministry of Households to keep [-] tenant households and gather [-] people for the purpose of collecting food and offering sacrifices.

The Kong family not only transformed into a super landlord who enslaved the people, but also consumed a lot of manpower, sacrifices and property under the banner of various sacrifices.

In Qufu, there are 24 or [-] sacrifices to Confucius every year. In spring, summer, autumn, winter, Si Shang Ding, Si Cu Ding, Ba Xiao Ji, as well as sacrifices to the sun, new moon, Wangri, and even the [-] solar terms, etc. The sacrifices cannot replace each other.

The Ming court not only did not interfere, but would send cabinet ministers or ministers of rites to go there every year on the anniversary of death (February [-]th), but this kind of treatment really contributed to Wei Shenggong's status and arrogance.

Zhu Youtang didn't like the hard-working Kong family, and he knew that the cancer would eventually be removed.

Not to mention the ugliness of owning millions of acres of fertile land, but now owning land without paying taxes to the court, frequently sacrificing Confucius and wasting sacrifices, and losing his virtue while occupying a position, these will eventually be overthrown.

It's just that the status of a saint is too high, and Yan Shenggong is revered by scholars all over the world. However, the courtesy of the past dynasties has long been a practice, and it is impossible to get rid of it overnight.

Zhu Youtang knew that he still had at least 17 years left in power, so he replied in the invitation from the Ministry of Rites: "Xie Qian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, will go there, and it is not appropriate to be extravagant and wasteful!"

Although he knew that sending Xie Qian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, would cause trouble, but he was the monarch of this dynasty after all, and he held the Thirteenth Battalion in his hand, so there was no need to be overly timid.

After dealing with the memorials related to etiquette, he started to focus on the military field that he valued most.

The crux of the Twelve Battalion’s quarrels is actually the Ten Martials Headed by Duke Cheng, but after the assassination incident, although these ten Martials did not admit that they were instigating the battalion’s quarrel, they did not dare to add fuel to the flames anymore. .

In fact, it was no wonder that even Qing Yunhou would be killed as soon as he said it, so they would naturally feel scared.Once they have something to fall into their hands, this knife will definitely be swung down, and even destroy them all.

Judging from the reaction of the Ten Marquises, it is unlikely that the assassination incident was a conspiracy by the Ten Marquises, at most one or two Marquises secretly conspired.

Although the turmoil of the pay has calmed down, the pay of the soldiers of the [-]th Battalion is indeed too low.In order to prevent a real brain drain, although it cannot be on par with the Aegis battalion, it is necessary to appropriately improve the treatment of battalion soldiers.

Zhu Youtang made changes to the soldiers' pay of the [-]th Battalion, and gave the Ministry of War instructions: "The [-]th Battalion has [-] grades of pay, and the rankings are held in horseback riding and archery competitions. The winner will fight again in the Aegis Battalion. half pay!"

Since it is necessary to strengthen the army, it is necessary to speak with strength.Not to mention that the Twelfth Battalion didn't have any credits at all, and now they want to get a high salary if they want to lie down, of course they have no way.

After all, things cannot go well. Although Lin Guodong was caught and tortured by Dongchang, the reply from Dongchang was that Lin Guodong did not confess the mastermind behind the scenes.

From this confusing assassination incident, he found that even though he is the emperor aloft, it is very difficult to see the true colors of all his courtiers.

Perhaps for this reason, he doesn't think anyone can be absolutely loyal, and he doesn't superstitiously believe in so-called loyal ministers.Now he tries his best to put people who can do things in the right positions, and everything is evaluated based on political performance, so as to be an emperor with clear rewards and punishments.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest!" Liu Jin walked over lightly and nodded with concern.

Zhu Youtang has gradually gotten used to this kind of life. Since there are dozens of people serving him, he doesn't feel too sleepy, and he is even quite energetic now.

What should be done has been done, and there are other arrangements for tomorrow, so I decided to go back and rest.

Since the temperature in Zhengchun has warmed up, he no longer lives in that narrow and relatively closed room, but is arranged to live on the left side of the first floor.

When Zhu Youtang returned to the inner room, he only needed to stretch out his hand, and several court ladies came forward to change his clothes.

Because he has the habit of washing his face and sleeping, when he sits on the edge of the bed, someone will come forward to clean his face.

The fragrant girl Fan Jinling came to the bed, her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness.When cleaning Zhu Youtang's face, he was more careful than his own face, wiping his brows seriously and carefully.

Zhu Youtang's eyebrows are thicker, and his skin is as snowy as his age. Fan Jinling can't help feeling that Zhu Youtang's skin is really good.

It's just that when Fan Jinling was about to help clean the other eyebrow, a powerful heart suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, causing Fan Jinling's pretty face to panic instantly, not knowing where she had made a mistake.

Zhu Youtang saw Fan Jinling's panicked reaction, and realized that this girl who always liked to unbutton a button in front of her was still a paper tiger after all.

It's just the performance in the competition last time. Although I can't be 100% sure that this girl has no selfish intentions, she threw herself on herself at that critical moment, at least proving her courage and stand.

What's more, this girl's body is really soft and fragrant.

Zhu Youtang didn't wait for Fan Jinling to react, he hugged her small waist, and then carried the fragrant girl onto his dragon bed.

At such a young age, there is no need to be overly restrained, and now men are even more scarce in the palace. For this girl who is interested in and loyal to her, she really needs to be pampered.

Seeing this, Liu Jin hurriedly waved away all the eunuchs and maids around her, but she knew that this one might become one of her new mistresses.

Fan Jinling was flustered at the beginning, not knowing what was wrong with her at all, until she saw Zhu Youtang's eyes full of desire, then she bit her lower lip happily.

Her teasing finally had an echo.

It was not easy to come to Qianqing Palace in the midst of so many court ladies' competition, but now being able to lie on this dragon bed is a blessing of three lives, not to mention that she has already given her heart to the most powerful man in the world.

"Aren't you afraid?" Zhu Youtang asked with a smile when he saw the girl biting her lower lip.

Fan Jinling seemed to be afraid that she might not be able to express herself clearly when speaking too slowly, so she hurriedly shook her head vigorously.

"Don't move!" Zhu Youtang saw the girl's first button unbuttoned almost every day, as if she wanted to explore the secrets inside.

Pingping curled up for more than fifteen years, cardamom tipped at the beginning of February.

Ten miles in the spring breeze on Yangzhou Road, it's not as good as a bead curtain.

……

Zhu Youtang looked at the works of art presented in front of him, as if he was having a long dream, and would take the initiative to flatter even the most beautiful people in the world in front of him.

When encountering photos and cheating netizens, they must finish with tears in their eyes. At this moment, Zhu Youtang is releasing his nature here, and Fan Jinling has changed from unfamiliarity to familiarity, and even showed a strong talent.

Meow!
A little tabby cat escaped from that cage again, only to find something strange happened in the Qianqing Palace tonight, and there were bells ringing intermittently.

It's just that its focus is not on the sound of the bell, but it is chasing after a little mouse, and tonight's Qianqing Palace is a cat chasing a mouse and running, and the bell is composing the... movement of the night.
