Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 557 Departure and Entrustment
What Ye Xun didn't expect was that Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan were both opposed to the reward, and their attitudes were very firm. The reasons for their opposition were also very strange. The ancestors have laws, and they cannot be conferred without the merits of expanding the territory.

Hearing this reason, Ye Xun was amused. He led his men to conquer Jurchen, Mongolia, and Qinghai-Tibet. Does that count as expanding the territory?
Just talk about the two in front of you!Although he didn't follow the charge, but the same contribution is indispensable. It is because of their silent dedication that Ye Xun can fight in the front without distraction, and the Ming Dynasty has the stability and prosperity it is today. Isn't this worth rewarding?

Seeing that Ye Xun's face was not good-looking, Yuan Yingtai smiled wryly and said: "Eunuch! We will know that you are kind, and the reward order will be given, but the eunuch or the queen mother will also become the target of public criticism. Let's count it carefully. Since Yongle Afterwards, there are very few knights in the country, unless it is you, Eunuch Ye, even if you are given the title of prince, no one will say anything, others, just forget it!"

Zhang Quan echoed at the side: "Yes, father-in-law, I will take care of my father-in-law's wishes. For the soldiers at the border, just add more salaries. As for the title, let's forget it!"

What Ye Xun decides will not be changed easily, let alone what has been said.

Originally thought about going out, and told them about the court affairs, but now they were interrupted by this incident, they almost forgot what they wanted to say before.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "The two of you also walked all the way from Liaodong with me. Even if I don't tell you about the hardships, you should know it well! Shouldn't some rewards be given?"

"You two should know that Ye is a human being. Even if he is accused by thousands of people, as long as it is beneficial to the people and the country, I will not hesitate."

As Ye Xun said, these two people knew Ye Xun well, and the reason why they advised Ye Xun was entirely out of love for Ye Xun.

But Ye Xun's attitude at this moment also shocked them deeply. Including them, among those high-ranking officials, who really takes the soldiers in front seriously?Not to mention the ordinary people who are rising and fighting.

After a moment of silence, the two bowed to Ye Xun and gave a deep salute, saying: "I am willing to obey the father-in-law's order, and I will follow the father-in-law to the death."

The topic is a bit heavy, Ye Xun quickly waved his hands, and said: "It's far away, you will count the meritorious officers and soldiers later, and you have to deal with the specific matters. My attitude is that rewards must be awarded. Alright, let's talk about the next thing."

"I still have to go to Jiangnan. The cabinet will release it in advance. According to my private knowledge, Chen Shancai, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Wenguang, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, these two are usually good officials. The affairs of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites will be left to them for the time being." Acting, major matters will be decided by you and Mr. Fang together."

It was not until today that Ye Xun expressed his stance on this matter. Strictly speaking, Ye Xun's decision, whether for the two of them or Fang Zhenru, has more advantages than disadvantages. After all, power is something that no one wants to share with others.

After the two nodded in agreement, they heard Ye Xun continue: "The construction of the Jiangnan Arsenal and the Chengdu Arsenal must be stepped up, and investment in the Qinghai-Tibet region must also be increased."

Since Ye Xun left the snow area a few years ago, the military and officials have been stationed there one after another. However, the conditions in the snow area are too difficult, and it is impossible to change it all at once. We can only increase investment little by little.

In addition, the snow area is not limited to entry and exit. Materials such as furs, medicinal materials, and horses in the snow area are also very popular in the Central Plains. This complementary economy will undoubtedly greatly reduce the burden on the imperial court.

In addition, after the lifting of the sea ban, the revenue of the court has increased exponentially, so no matter what you do, you are very confident.

After writing down Ye Xun's instructions one by one, the two left.

As if they had made up their minds, Fang Zhenru begged to see him as soon as the two left.

You don't need to ask what Lao Fang is doing here, so you don't have to ask him one by one.

Let Fang Zhenru in, please sit down for tea, before Ye Xun asked, Lao Fang took the initiative to explain the purpose of his visit.

"Father-in-law, the big exams are coming this spring, and we are recruiting talents for the country. I don't know if you have anything to say to your father-in-law?"

Ye Xun was taken aback for a moment, thinking to himself why did this matter come to me?
According to the practice of previous years, the examinations are generally jointly organized by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Imperial College, and the Imperial Academy.

After thinking about it, Wei Wei understood that both the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites resigned voluntarily. Lao Fang is trying to test his attitude through this matter!
Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan haven't met Fang Zhenru yet, so Fang Zhenru asked this question. It is estimated that many people have come to him during this period of time.

But this incident also reminded Ye Xun, shouldn't it be time to hold a martial arts exam?

After mentioning the two candidates mentioned to Yuan Yingtai and the others just now, he said: "Speaking of opinions, I hope to select more loyal and upright people from this big exam to enrich them in the Inspectorate, and then Mr. Fang will personally Supervise, let these newly promoted censors go to various places to practice, and make detailed records of the local customs and customs of my Ming Dynasty during the practice, find problems from them, and propose solutions to the problems, and then report to the court, and the promotion of officials in the future will also be Taking this record as an important reference, does Master Fang think this matter is feasible?"

Ye Xun said this, of course, not because there is a problem with the Procuratorate, on the contrary, Fang Zhenru is an upright person, and the requirements for his subordinates are relatively strict. the censor.

Ye Xun came from a later generation, and knew the importance of discipline inspection and supervision. Although it is impossible to be completely transparent in this era, sending some young, energetic and motivated censors to inspect it will definitely be beneficial to the cleanliness of official governance.

Seeing that Ye Xun attached so much importance to the Procuratorate, Fang Zhenru couldn't help being overjoyed, and bowed deeply to Ye Xun, saying: "My father-in-law has a heart, I will definitely live up to my expectations."

"Your Majesty is young, and the Empress Dowager is not very old. I just need more support from an old official like you. I believe that Mr. Fang is not the kind of person who forms a party for personal gain, so I will say these things to Mr. Boss. Mr. Fang, please. !"

As he said that, Ye Xun actually bowed and saluted Fang Zhenru.

People are born with respect, and Lao Fang really doesn't have that much selfishness. To be respected so much by the No. 1 in the court immediately made Lao Fang think of dying for his confidant.

After bowing deeply to Ye Xun again, he turned around and left, but this time he didn't say a word.

Looking at Fang Zhenru's back, Ye Xun couldn't help but smile in relief. With these three carriages in the court, he can finally travel with peace of mind.

After arranging the affairs of the court, Ye Xun ordered someone to find Tokugawa Hidetada's special envoy Watanabe.

This guy was greedy for the prosperity of the Central Plains, and never returned to Japan under the pretext of being convenient to contact Ye Xun.

This time Ye Xun went to Jiangnan not only to deal with Ono who is entrenched in Ryukyu, but now there is a Xingming Chamber of Commerce.

Now that you have decided to travel, it's time for Watanabe to say hello to Tokugawa Hidetada in advance
