Chapter 977: Congratulations
Tianqi closed his eyes and thought about it, and said: "This year's mutiny in Funing Town was because of the embezzlement of the military reserve by the warehouse official Lin Tingzhu, which led to the failure to pay salaries for several months. www.biquge.info In May, Hu Yingtai, the governor of Guangzhou, played a rebellion in Guangzhou, and beat the prefect Cheng Guangyang during the rice grabbing, which was unprecedented in this dynasty. My brother can know that together with Shaanxi, Shanxi, Xunyang and other places before, mutinies and civil uprisings have occurred many times, why is this? ”
Believe in the king's heart, it is not that the imperial brother and the imperial grandfather are neglecting government affairs, ignoring court affairs, not cultivating virtue, and even natural disasters are frequent, and the people's and army's hearts are unstable.
Seeing that the king of letters could not answer, Tianqi said in a deep voice: "The Ming Dynasty is a big country, and there are many provinces, provinces, prefectures, counties, and various military towns and guards, and there are countless of them. Do you know why? Was there no corrupt official in the previous dynasty? The state is sufficient, and the greed will not lead to mistakes, and the state is insufficient, and the greed will change. My brother remembers, the officials regard the army as slaves and beggars, and the real major affairs of the country do not fall on a few civil servants, the people in the army, the total army to the small army, is the real important person of my Ming Dynasty, the salary must be sufficient, the military law can not be abandoned, remember, remember! ”
King Xin didn't think so, but he still bowed: "What the emperor said, the courtiers will remember it in their hearts and never dare to forget it." ”
"Hmm." Tianqi showed a satisfied face, and said: "Zheng Guochang, the governor of Fujian, played and sent an army of more than 10,000 people to trap Dutch Yi and Fengwei Cabinet Island. This was a great event, and although it cost nearly 200,000 silver, it was successfully concluded. ”
King Xin also rejoiced in the color, and said: "Congratulations to the emperor's eldest brother, this is indeed a great joy, the sea border is calm, and the land of the ancestors has been restored, and it is a sincere happy event." ”
Tianqi smiled and said: "The ministers of Xinjiang and the military ministers serve their orders, so they have this victory." As for its eastern, I am still thinking about it. ”
King Xin said: "The ministers think it is appropriate to allow it, Dongfan is not my Ming land, and the land of non-ancestors is not hindered by my Ming Dynasty, as long as Zhongyi can trade with peace of mind in the future, it is not inappropriate to be bound by a deserted island." ”
Tianqi looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "If you believe in the king's words, can the factory minister remember it?" ”
Wei Zhongxian bowed down and said, "The slave and maid remember that the celebrant will approve the red according to what His Royal Highness the King said. ”
In fact, Ye Xianggao's vote is the same as King Xin's opinion, and the most happy thing about the Apocalypse is this, if King Xin's statecraft is consistent with the scheming ministers, it means that King Xin still has the talent to govern the country.
Of course, the apocalypse will only do it to this extent, after all, he is only about twenty years old, although his body is average, he may not really be able to give birth to a son, and when the reborn prince comes out, when he grows to five or six years old, the king will be able to become a vassal of the country, and the throne is still passed on to his son, even if he is as close as a brother, it is completely different from the heir.
King Xin bowed again: "This year, there is also the victory of Puding, the Ming Dynasty has completely pacified the rebellion of luxury, and it is also gratifying to congratulate, this peaceful elephant should be congratulated again for the emperor's eldest brother." ”
The great victory of Puding is indeed the greatest favorite of the four years of the Apocalypse, and the Dongyu has cast a shadow on the Taiping of the Ming Dynasty's frontier, and the great disaster in the southwest is the rebellion of luxury.
The strength of the Ming army in the south of the Ming Dynasty is too far away from the north, and the strength of the southwest Yi at that time is also unimaginable to later generations, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan and later generations of Laos, Myanmar and other places are all subordinate to the Ming Dynasty's fetters Tusi, in the name of Xuanfu Division into the Ming territory, more than half of the places in Yunnan are similar to Tusi, and later because the situation is too complicated, Hongwu years to the Qianguo Gong Muying family town Yunnan, after 200 years of efforts, most of Yunnan is pacified, Tusi power weakened a lot, Although Burma was founded, it was not subject to the king, but it was already the victory of the Ming Dynasty to eat Yunnan, and Guizhou was still in the hands of the Tusi in most of the places, and in the Wanli Apocalypse, the two largest Tusi rebelled, causing chaos in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, the Ming army mobilized nearly 200,000 people, and it took several years to finally pacify the rebellion of Lu'an in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, when Anbangyan surrounded Guizhou, set up camp for forty, stretched for twenty miles, the Ming army rushed to its camp, the Tusi soldiers were defeated, the strength was lost, and after spending millions of taels of silver, the southwest chaos was finally pacified, It is indeed one of the great events of this year, which has been celebrated a long time ago, but there is nothing wrong with congratulating it with the good news of the recovery of Penghu.
At this time, the eunuch Wang Tiqian came in and said to Tianqi: "Emperor, the report played by Jinyi Weibei came in, saying that Wang Wenyan also died of a violent illness. ”
"Oh, I see." Tianqi replied and said lightly: "The rest of the people in the North Institute don't need to report it to me." ”
Wang Tiqian understood, bowed down and said, "The slave will report to the factory minister." ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "The emperor doesn't want to worry about this matter, and the slave will take care of it." ”
Apocalypse obviously had no intention of caring about the death of Yang Lian and others, and of course he knew about it from beginning to end. He looked at the king of letters, and said to the eunuchs: "This generation is proud of his merits, I wake up again and again, I can't mistake the government because of party disputes, and impeach the factory ministers, I was shocked when I saw it at the beginning, and then I knew that it was all speculation and untruth, and then I blamed his generation, as long as he was guilty of negligence, I would not be too harsh, and his generation intensified, formed a party and attacked the group, and regarded me as a young man who could be bullied?" Bastard, damn it! ”
King Xin today only knew that the anger of the emperor's brother was so much, and many of the recent party disputes did not answer at all in the palace, and directly stayed in the middle and did not send it, which made people in the foreign dynasty guess that the emperor's intentions were wrong, thinking that the emperor might hesitate and not reach a conclusion. Wang Wenyan was originally ready to mobilize officials to knock on the palace gate to petition, but he was suddenly arrested by Jinyi Wei.
King Xin vaguely knew Donglin's intentions, and was still wondering why the imperial brother's attitude suddenly changed greatly, from an ambiguous attitude directly to supporting the eunuch party, on the first day to take Wang Wenyan, and then take Huang Zunsu, go to Donglin two think tanks, and then take Yang Lian Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin courage, and then there is a matter of Wai Ye Xiang Gao's mansion, obviously to sweep the Donglin party people out of the court, the bias is too obvious, King Xin not only feels that the imperial brother destroys the righteousness of the court, but also does not even achieve the most basic political balance, which really makes him feel incomprehensible.
Wei Zhongxian and the others hurriedly knelt down and persuaded: "The emperor is angry, these shameless people will definitely be severely punished." ”
"Mr. Ye has resigned again." Yang Lian and Wang Wenyan died in prison one after another, the Donglin Party already knew that nothing could be done, Ye Xianggao resigned because of the six sparse resigns, Tianqi still has some respect for Ye Xianggao, and immediately instructed Wei Zhongxian: "Give Mr. Ye a hundred taels of platinum, a python coat, give Taifu, give five stones per month, eight sedan chair men, and when you return to your hometown, you will be properly escorted by the government along the way, and Mr. Ye must not be wronged." ”
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he knew that the emperor had apologized to Ye Xianggao in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "The slave knows that he will never dare to let Mr. Ye suffer any more grievances." ”
"Mr. Han is the first assistant."
"Yes!"
"Yuan Keli's resignation ......" Tianqi showed hesitation, he was very satisfied with and respected Yuan Keli's performance, compared to what Mr. Sun did in western Liaoning, the situation between Denglai and Dongjiang was much more difficult, but Yuan Keli did quite well, Tianqi has been subsidizing Dongjiang with the silver of the inner court, but without Denglai's coordination and supply, Dongjiang Town will definitely not be able to support it, and it is even growing and developing to recover the lost land.
But Yuan Keli's resignation is inevitable, not only because Yuan Keli is a member of the Donglin Party, and he was attacked by a group of officials, but the important thing is that Tianqi can see that this time it is Mao Wenlong who is making trouble behind his back.
The generals are not in harmony, it is not difficult to ask, they can only choose one to exist, Mao Wenlong has the merit of recovering the land, and he is on the front line, the governor can change people, there is no way to change the commander in Dongjiang Town, in desperation, Tianqi can only agree to change Yuan Keli.
"Let Yuan Keli enter the court as the right attendant of the military department." Tianqi said helplessly: "Ling Wu Zhiwang will take office immediately, and he will encourage and supervise him in his will." ”
"Yes, the slave will do it immediately." This time it was Wang Tiqian who agreed, and he was also a celebrant eunuch, although Wei Zhongxian was the first, and he could get ideas in many government affairs, but he was going to approve the red, and these things could not be done with Wei Zhongxian's culture.
"The factory minister will use more dim sum in state affairs in the future." Apocalypse instructed: "Military affairs, it is advisable to report to me as soon as possible." ”
Wei Zhongxian said yes awe-inspiringly, seeing that the apocalypse was speechless, and today's carpentry work was over, he bowed down and quit with Wang Tiqian.
Tianqi turned his head to King Xin and said: "Wei Zhongxian is loyal to the country, diligent and reliable, the only problem of his eunuchs is greed for money, and civil officials are not only greedy for money, but also invite fame and sell straight, which is really hateful." I have been in charge of the country for several years, and what I realize in my heart is that after all, it is still easy to use as a domestic slave, and it is much easier for a domestic slave to control the foreign ministers than for me to manage it personally, as long as the other generation can really do the affairs of the court well, there is no need to distinguish between eunuchs and foreign ministers. Wei Zhongxian is powerful, my brother should keep it in mind. ”
King Xin was very disapproving, when he and Wei Zhongxian were together, he only felt that the power of this eunuch had made him deeply jealous, and even thorns in his back, King Xin believed in Donglin's rumors, thinking that Wei Zhongxian was just coaxing the imperial brother, but he didn't dare to say such a thing at this time, and he couldn't even comfort the imperial brother that he would get the prince in the future.
Seeing the submissive appearance of King Xin, Tianqi felt a sense of disappointment, and he looked at the sketch of the sailboat hanging on the wall, and his heart was refreshed for a moment.
