Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 259 Cao Yi was moved

Wang Zhi was sitting in Lin Cunde's study, with his eyes closed tightly and tears coming out. Lin Cunde also sighed when he saw it.

But all this is because Wang Zhi is a good old man!

Wang Zhi is an honest official. He knows this, and he does things fairly. However, it is difficult for Wang Zhi to refuse those requests.

There were nearly 30,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty. It was impossible for Wang Zhi to investigate everything clearly. He could only make a determination based on the investigation data of the Ministry of Personnel. But now, the Beijing inspection and the big plan have not been implemented for a long time!

In addition, those officials whom the minister came to entrust were all upright officials on the surface. Wang Zhi did not have that much energy to investigate, so he could only believe those who came to entrust him. As a result, he was deceived by those entrusted people!

The Ministry of Personnel is busy with affairs, and Wang Zhi does not care about the selection of junior officials below. It is left to the two ministers and the chief officials below. However, the chief officials below are also entrusted by other officials. It can be seen that the Ministry of Personnel is now It’s also full of loopholes!

Wang Zhi didn't know it yet, but he still wanted to become an official!

Now it is not as simple as Wang Zhi becoming an official, it is going to cost him his life!

Moreover, Wang Zhi had always supported the establishment of the prince as emperor and let Zhu Qiyu supervise the country! In the first half of the year, Zhu Qiyu also strongly supported welcoming Zhu Qizhen back. How could Zhu Qiyu not keep this in mind!

With so much resentment accumulated, if Wang Zhi doesn't make changes, does he want to become an official? Still want to live?

Lin Cunde didn't even dare to say that he could make money from his family!

Who dares to fish for it?

Unless the Queen Mother is invited, the Queen Mother keeps chanting sutras and doesn't care about external matters!

Please ask the queen, it’s impossible, the queen doesn’t dare!

Please ask other nobles, which nobleman is so stupid?

"Hey, okay, let me show you a clear path. I don't know if it will work or not!" Seeing him like this, Lin Cunde couldn't help but want to give him a hand. After all, Wang Zhi wrote a letter to himself. Although there is no such letter, it doesn't matter, but I owe this favor!

When Wang Zhi heard Lin Cunde pointing out a clear path, he couldn't help but open his eyes, which were a little bright.

"Want to hear the details!" Wang Zhi said with his hands raised to Lin Cunde.

"Jingcha and the big plan!" Lin Cunde said five words.

Wang Zhi was shocked after hearing this!

Beijing inspection and planning have been suspended for almost ten years. Beijing inspection and planning are very time-consuming and require local officials to come to the capital. Many officials took advantage of Zhu Qizhen's youth, and San Yang also had the same attitude at that time. Therefore, Beijing The investigation and plan were cancelled!

The Jingchao and the Grand Plan are for inspecting officials. The Jingcha is to evaluate officials in the capital every six years, while the Grand Plan is to evaluate officials who are posted abroad, and most of them are to be inspected every three years! Assess officials sent abroad from eight aspects to determine their strengths and weaknesses!

"If these two items are not implemented, the officials of the Ming Dynasty will not be honest. Of course, there are many other things. I also know that the officials of the Ming Dynasty have low salaries, but the local officials are so ugly now!" Lin Cunde saw Wang Zhi so shocked, and Said to Wang Zhi.

"Yes, we need to start the capital inspection and the big plan. Otherwise, I will have no way to solve the problem of official integrity and ability inspection!" Wang Zhi's eyes started to brighten at this moment, and he was a little excited.

Seeing that he had come to his senses, Lin Cunde smiled and said: "It's best if the Minister of Civil Affairs proposes this opinion! However, this memorial is also sent together with your apology memorial and the memorial to recommend officials. In addition, before writing the apology memorial, , you have to think about it, if you want His Majesty to keep you, you need to show your sincerity and make His Majesty think that you are still useful, otherwise, there is nothing I can do!"

"Yes, I have to think about it, I have to think about it!" Wang Zhi nodded quickly and believed Lin Cunde's words.

"Okay, you don't have to be so careful. I know you are an upright official, but sometimes upright officials will do bad things. You have done a big bad thing now. I hope you can make up for it. Otherwise, I There is no other way!" Lin Cunde looked at Wang Zhi and said helplessly.

"Thank you Cunde!" Wang Zhi stood up and raised his hands to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde waved his hand.

Soon, Wang Zhi left, and Lin Cunde also sighed, it's not easy to be a good person!

Lin Cunde said that and lay down on the recliner in the study, wanting to take a nap!

When I woke up, it was already afternoon.

There are people at the gate of the mansion from time to time, and there are many scholars from Jiangxi Province, especially those from Ji'an Prefecture. They really want to send invitations, and some people who are waiting for candidates or candidates want to find a way to Lin Cunde!

Wang Chenghai refused to accept any of these invitations. He also knew that Lin Cunde had no time to deal with these people now!

However, Wang Chenghai sometimes thought that if he passed the Jinshi or Juren examination, he would be like them and would he need to wait for a job? With Lin Cunde here, there is no need to wait for a vacancy at all, and today, Wang Zhidu, the Minister of Personnel, came to visit his cousin!

The next day was the imperial court, and Lin Cunde got up early and took Lin Cunli to the palace.

Because the reward has not yet come, Lin Cunli can only continue to be Lin Cunde's personal soldier Baihu!

When Lin Cunde arrived at the Zuoye Gate of the palace, the ministers all handed over their hands when they saw Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde responded with a smile, and soon saw Wang Ying. Lin Cunde walked with Wang Ying, and Shi Heng and others also arrived. Today they guessed that they were going to ennoble Lin Cunde and others, so , many ministers came here to watch.

After arriving at Fengtian Hall, Lin Cunde and the others waited for a while. The eunuch inside opened the door, and Lin Cunde and the others entered one after another. Lin Cunde was a military commander, so naturally he was with the military commander. Just as he stood up, Zhu Qiyu came. After a set of etiquette, he began to formally go to court!

Lin Cunde also stood there and listened. After all, he also needed to know how those civil servants handled government affairs and what opinions they would put forward on some issues!

It took about half an hour to deal with daily affairs.

After finishing the daily affairs, Zhu Qiyu said: "The great victory at Shanhaiguan and the great victory at Liaodong Town. These two great victories have laid the foundation for our Ming Dynasty to have no borders for twenty years in the north, and also trained a large number of soldiers for our Ming Dynasty. This battle is of great significance. The Ministry of Rites With the Ministry of War, have the rewards for the soldiers below been drawn up?"

"Your Majesty, part of it has been drawn up!" Hu Hui, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said with his hands raised to Zhu Qiyu.

After Yu Qian saw Hu Hui finished speaking, he also stood up and said: "Return to your majesty, the general flag, try a hundred households. The hundred households have already begun to mobilize. The deputy 1,000 households and above have not moved yet. There is no time. This battle requires a large number of officers." For promotion, I need to mobilize meritorious soldiers from the border army, and let the soldiers who have made meritorious service this time go to the border pass. They can only be transferred back after three years!"

"Well, that's good!" Zhu Qiyu stood up from the dragon chair, got down from it with his hands behind his back, and said at the same time: "My dear friends, you have also read the merit memorial of the Ministry of War. How should you reward the general? Let’s discuss it too! In addition, I want to focus on Cao Yi, will Cao Yi come?”

"I'm here!" Cao Yi heard Zhu Qiyu calling him and stood up immediately!

He had been on tenterhooks these past few days and couldn't sleep well. Although Lin Cunde told him that nothing would happen if he came to the capital, he was still worried!

He was a general promoted by the Supreme Emperor, and Jiang Chenlong of Liaodong Town had surrendered. Who knew how His Majesty would punish him.

"General Cao, I am here to formally thank you!" Zhu Qiyu said, bowing to Cao Yi.

Cao Yi immediately knelt down, cried, kowtowed to Zhu Qiyu and said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to accept it, I just did my duty as a minister!"

"Well, get up!" Zhu Qiyu went over, helped Cao Yi up, and then held Cao Yi's hand and said: "I am grateful to you because you did not let our Ming Dynasty Liaodong Town fall into war. You understand the righteousness, and as my Ming Dynasty's leader Military generals, all generals also need to learn from you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Yi was still in tears, because there were a large number of generals behind him. If he was punished, then all the generals below would be punished!

"Well, when I learned that you did not surrender, I sighed in my heart. Our Ming Dynasty still has sensible generals!" Zhu Qiyu continued to comfort Cao Yi and said.

Cao Yi nodded there.

"The Ministry of Rites also wants to reward General Cao Yi. My proposal is to reward him as an earl!" Zhu Qiyu said to Hu Hui.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yi knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not accept this. I am guilty. I failed to control my subordinates well. Please punish me!"

Zhu Qiyu helped Cao Yi up again and said: "It is normal for one or two treacherous people among the 150,000 soldiers. Is there no treacherous person in my court? Should I punish myself?"

"Your Majesty!" Cao Yi cried and shouted!

Zhu Qiyu clapped Cao Yi's hand again and said: "General Cao, you have made great contributions to guarding Liaodong Town for more than ten years. Your contribution to preventing war in Liaodong Town is even greater. I, not only use military merit as the criterion for rewards, but also for Reward for avoiding war!"

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he looked at the civil servants and continued: "The Ministry of Rites, prepare to reward Earl Cao Yi!"

"Yes!" Hu Xi immediately said with his hands in hand!

And those civil servants also know the deep meaning of Zhu Qiyu, and those who are willing to take refuge in Zhu Qiyu will not be grudged by being promoted to an official position. Zhu Qiyu's doing so can divide those civil servants!

Moreover, Cao Yi is indeed worthy of being awarded the title of earl. If he takes refuge in Zhu Qizhen, it will be very detrimental to Zhu Qiyu.

"Well! The Ministry of Rites also needs to prepare the rewards for Lin Cunde, Xiang Qing, Yang Xiangzheng, and Xu Xianyong. In addition, the rewards for Shi Heng also need to be prepared!" Zhu Qiyu said to the Ministry of Rites.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is ready to reward Luling Bo as Luling Marquis, Xiang Qing as Jincheng Bo, Yang Xiangzheng as Yongzhou Bo, and Xu Xianyong as Shunde Bo! For Wu Qinghou, he will be granted the title of Prince Taibao! For Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, he will be granted the title of Prince Taibao. The Crown Prince and Tutor." Hu Hui stood up and said to Zhu Qiyu with his hands raised.

"Well, then let's discuss it!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and said!

Chen Xun stood up at this moment, raised his hands to Zhu Qiyu and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet has already voted on the reward! The cabinet agrees!"
