Chapter 185: Break My Humerus

The capital of Liufu.

It's white at the moment.

There are a large number of brocade guards to maintain order, and all the ministers in the court come to worship.

Because the emperor is coming.

But when they heard the emperor arrive, everyone fell to their knees on the ground.

Surrounded by everyone, Zhu Qizhen slowly came to the top of the mourning hall, stretched out his hand and twisted incense and inserted it into Liu Dingzhi's aura. Taking a deep breath, he seemed to suck in the heart of not knowing how many things, sighed, and said to Liu Dingzhi's family: "Liu Qing and I, although we are monarchs and ministers, we really have the good of a family, Mrs. Sister-in-law don't worry, just take care of this big family, if there is anything, just let people come to the palace to say something." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Dingzhi's widow bowed down and said, just a sentence, without finishing it, and in her tone, there was a cry.

Zhu Qizhen also knew that it was not suitable for him to stay on this occasion for long.

Worshipping the minister with the king is inconsistent with etiquette. Zhu Qizhen just came to pay tribute, and he only put on incense, not even bowed, not that Zhu Qizhen didn't know how to pay tribute, but that he couldn't do it.

After Zhu Qizhen left Liu's Mansion, he only felt that there was a loud cry behind him, and this voice directly entered Zhu Qizhen's heart.

Although Shi Heng died suddenly, Zhu Qizhen had thought about this in his heart, but Liu Dingzhi's death was something that Zhu Qizhen had never thought about.

This champion of the first year of orthodoxy is the first team cultivated by Zhu Qizhen, although the political ideas of the two sides may not all coincide. But Liu Dingzhi understands Zhu Qizhen's political ideas in many things.

And Liu Dingzhi can stand on his feet, whether in the literary world or in the officialdom. And has the ability to control the entire Ming Dynasty.

Such a talent may not be called unparalleled in the country, but it is also irreplaceable.

Liu Dingzhi's death disrupted all of Zhu Qizhen's plans at once.

He originally wanted to get along with Liu Dingzhi's monarchs and ministers and support each other for at least ten years.

Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes.

Liu Dingzhi went all at once. Leaving Zhu Qizhen with only deep pain.

is not only the relationship with Liu Dingzhi, but also the loss of Liu Dingzhi, a humerus minister, the change of the court is out of control. There is also some self-blame.

In fact, most of Liu Dingzhi was exhausted.

The work of the first assistant to the cabinet is already very busy. Coupled with the recent things, piled up, it's just too busy.

Jingcha, disaster relief, the battle of the Western Regions, the three major events, and countless small things, all advanced steadily, and there was Liu Dingzhi's hard work behind it.

But Liu Dingzhi is already sixty years old.

It is the only sixty-year-old person who can take on too heavy a workload. Not to mention this era.

Zhu Qizhen was even more sad when he thought about it at this moment.

Zhu Qizhen to the side

Huai En said: "Tell me to go down, let Liu Dingzhi be buried on the side of Maoling, and let the Ministry of Rites give a good advice." ”

Buried on the side of the emperor's mausoleum is the highest praise for the courtiers.

Such treatment is not too much for each generation of ministers.

In fact, Zhu Qizhen wanted to give this treatment to Yu Qian, but Yu Qian died in Jiangnan, and it was too torturous to come from Jiangnan. Also with this treatment is Yang Hong, who has just passed away.

Zhu Qizhen no matter how sad and regretful he is.

At this moment, he has to think about what happened after Liu Dingzhi's death.

Although it is said that the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the cabinet chief assistant who truly assists the world is not lacking for a day.

And Zhu Qizhen can't be at the moment, or there is no other candidate.

Only Han Yong.

In the cabinet, only Han Yong can take over this position smoothly.

Just after a Beijing inspection, I don't know how many officials in Beijing are shocked. I can't stand another toss. And any fluctuation in the cabinet will be transmitted to the entire officialdom.

At this moment, in the officialdom, it is better to be quiet than to move.

The best way for Zhu Qizhen is to elect Han Yong as the first assistant of the cabinet.

Han Yong's ability, Zhu Qizhen never doubted.

It can be said that it can be civil and martial, disaster relief, and chaos suppression. It's just that Zhu Qizhen is worried about Han Yong's attitude towards his new policy.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't care much about it before.

Because Han Yong is in the cabinet after all, he is assisting Liu Dingzhi in doing things, and with Liu Dingzhi here, Zhu Qizhen doesn't have to worry too much. But that's no longer the case.

After he became the chief assistant of the cabinet, his thoughts and ideological tendencies would greatly affect this Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen can't ignore it.

Zhu Qizhen took one last look, a white Liu Mansion, put down the sedan curtain, and said, "After I go back, let Han Yong come to see me." ”

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Han Yong's summons to Zhu Qizhen was not too surprised. He had expected it in his heart.

After all, Liu Dingzhi was suddenly like this, and the person who really took over the cabinet was Han Yong.

During this period of time for Liu Dingzhi's funeral.

Han Yong is already the de facto first assistant.

And this time it will be decided whether he can sit in this position for a long time.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qizhen asked Han Yong as usual: "What is the situation in the Western Regions now?" ”

Han Yong said: "Now the detailed battle report of the Western Regions has come, and there are no 1,530 people in the imperial court, and 506 people are missing. Among them, there are three people from a thousand households. Seventeen people in one hundred households. Beheaded 239,600 levels, mainly by Bai Gui. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Bai Gui is really hot. In this way, the Western Regions is a blank land? ”

Zhu Qizhen can see from this data that this time the enemy army

It was a brittle defeat, and this roundabout march from the desert also brought a great burden to Daming, and these more than 500 missing people are estimated to have become dried corpses in the desert.

It's just that he never thought that Bai Gui would really dare to do it?

More than 239,000 levels, this number, he actually dared to report it?

You must know that the beheadings in the Battle of Lang Son were only 300,000 people, and many of them were killed. The area of southern Xinjiang may be much larger than that of Annam, but the population is far from comparable.

The army of the Fire Destroyer may not be as much as 230,000.

Bai Gui actually dared to report it, so many beheadings, this is no longer as simple as killing prisoners. Rather, it was a massacre. Massacre.

It is estimated that this is the number of all the middle-aged males in the southern Xinjiang departments.

Zhu Qizhen was intentional and indulged Bai Gui to take revenge, but he didn't expect Bai Gui to be so ruthless.

Han Yong said: "The ministers still don't know this, but almost all the officials have already written to impeach Bai Gui for the crime of indiscriminate killing. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let him go back to Beijing to listen to the ginseng." ”

Although what Bai Gui did was somewhat unexpected by Zhu Qizhen, he did not get out of Zhu Qizhen's control, barbarians, afraid of power but not virtuous, if you want them to be obedient, you have to beat the killing stick first, but this time the killing stick is a little too heavy.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Send another person to the Western Regions." He is the governor of the Western Regions and the deputy of the general of the Western Expedition. ”

Han Yong said: "The minister understands that the minister proposed Xiang Zhong, the governor of Shaanxi, who is familiar with the affairs of the Western Regions, and has quite a lot of military achievements when he pacified the Manjun Rebellion. ”

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Han Yong and said, "Okay." ”

Zhu Qizhen naturally knew that when Han Yong was in the south, he had dealt with Xiang Zhong, and he was not necessarily a party, but he was also an acquaintance.

This is also the difference between Han Yong and Liu Dingzhi.

Liu Dingzhi's basic plate is in the household department, he is very familiar with the affairs of the household department, and many of the accounts reported by the people below, Liu Dingzhi only needs a glance to see whether there is any greasy.

But Han Yong is different.

He ascended from the land.

His basic base is in the locality, whether it is Jiangxi, Liangguang, Jiaozhi and other places, there are his old departments, and his advantage lies in his familiarity with local affairs.

Han Yong can tell at a glance what has been reported in many places, whether it is nonsense or not.

There is also a lot of local officials, more familiar. These connections are his basic plate.

Since Zhu Qizhen intends to let Han Yong be the first assistant, he will naturally give Han Yong power space, as long as the candidates are not too outrageous, Zhu Qizhen will not refute it, not to mention that Xiang Zhong has also experienced military affairs, and his skills are strong, and he can also control the field in these places in the Western Regions. It's also appropriate.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "How is Yili?" Any news? ”

Han Yong said: "Jinyiwei just got the news that Yili is still in the hands of Wang Shi. ”
