Chapter 211: Xu Hao's sense of existence
Since Xu Hao became the head of Jinyiwei, it has only been a few months on the surface, but in fact, he is still in full control to this day. It's just that because the Jinyi Guards have no leader, Zhu Yuanzhang needs someone to bring him information from all sides, and Xu Hao, an outsider who is not an outsider, is very suitable for the time being.
Therefore, even though Xu Hao has not made any moves, his personal tendency has gradually implanted Jinyiwei, bringing some distinct imprints, making the supervision direction of the entire Jinyiwei change from the internal focus of the capital on civil and military officials to the attention to collecting intelligence from all parties in the world, especially for the movements of the surrounding small countries and the Hu people in the north and the people in various places.
In short, everything is done to ensure the peace of the country. For the Jinyi Guards who serve in the locality, they will be doubled, and the captains who can get valuable information will be rewarded once they are verified.
Of course, Xu Hao did not formulate a perfect reward and punishment system, did not let the Jinyi guards who dared to work hard to penetrate into the enemy's territory not have to worry about the future, did not concentrate on training the secret spies selected from various places, and did not teach those various agent methods that may be very unrealistic from film and television dramas.
Even so, Xu Hao still injected a breath of fresh air into the brocade guard, especially in the local area. The attention from Xu Hao made the local health offices rejoice, and swept away the depression of not being taken seriously for a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated Xu Hao's actions very much, and now that all the internal troubles in the DPRK and China have been removed, the remaining Xu Da and others are no longer worried. Xu Hao's external thinking is also Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, in order to ensure that the foundation of the Zhu family is solid, it is necessary to strengthen the border guard as soon as possible and eradicate hidden dangers in various places.
In the imperial court, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there was not much fear of Yangshou, and he was discussing national policies with his ministers day and night, and the first major event was to improve and revise the Daming Law formulated by Li Shanchang in the sixth year of Hongwu.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that it was out of expediency at that time, the country had just recovered stability from the war, and it was necessary to govern the world with severe punishments. For this reason, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, told the emperor's grandson several times, "I rule the troubled times, and the punishment has to be severe; You rule the world. The so-called 'punishment is light in the world', and this is the reason. ”
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice: "I summoned you here for a suggestion from Xu Hao before leaving Beijing, and you, as the chief official of Xingtaifu Temple, also listen to your thoughts." ”
Zhu Yunwen, who was on the side of the escort, and Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, glanced at each other, and they both showed a sense of surprise, and they didn't know about it.
Master Ma said respectfully: "Yes." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "Originally, I didn't go to my heart, but Xu Hao brought me a surprise. Therefore, I cannot fail to pay attention to his advice. ”
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but say, "What surprise? You tell the children about it, and it makes the two adults happy. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said hesitantly: "A surprise is a surprise, but it doesn't make me happy." Xu Hao is currently passing through Hubei, and received an urgent report from the local Jinyi Guard, the thief Tian Wucheng of Guangji County, Qizhou, gathered 200 men and women to establish the White Lotus Sect, intending to rebel, and was brought by Xu Hao overnight to give a nest of people, and tortured to extract a confession to recruit his brother Tian Jiucheng and the monk Li Puzhi. Gao Fuxing, a magistrate of Chuyang County, Hanzhong Prefecture, and others, in the past few years, have bewitched thousands of people to secretly build weapons, and even the emperor's name has been played. ”
As soon as this statement came out. Zhu Yunwen and Qi Tai were all shocked, and Qi Tai hurriedly said, "There is such a thing? Could it be that Xu Hao deliberately exaggerated, intending to invite merit and reward? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Ask for merit and reward? Have you forgotten that in the sixth year of Hongwu, it was the big case of Wang Yuer in Qizhou, Hubei Province, who gathered people to burn incense and rebel? At that time, more than 100 people were coerced into tens of thousands of people to occupy the county seat in a short period of time. killed more than 20 officials; Have you forgotten that in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the mountain people of Guangxi claimed to be the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha and gathered the crowd to rebel? Have you forgotten the Maitreya uprisings in Yichun, Pingxiang, Fenyi, Ningdu and other places a few years ago? At that time, Wang Yuanbao of Sichuan, Peng Pugui of Meixian County waved the banner of the White Lotus Sect. Have you forgotten the past of the capture of the fourteen state capitals and counties? ”
Qi Tai suddenly sweated, knelt down on his knees and said, "It's the minister's negligence, please Bixia to surrender." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand unhappily and said: "Get up, I want to remind you that this world is not stable, and some people who spread rumors and confuse the public are intent on rebellion. This time, Xu Hao was able to prevent trouble before it happened, and I appreciated it very much, so I simply ordered him to sit in command and arrest the White Lotus Sect, give him a chance to be rewarded for meritorious service, and give him a knighthood after the event. ”
Zhu Yunwen's expression became unnatural, Xu Hao and Yan Wangfu were too close, and they had to be guarded against. And looking at the meaning of the emperor's grandfather, he deliberately gave him merit so that he could regain control of the brocade guard, so how could it? In the future, I won't have to sleep well because of this?
Qi Taiyi said righteously: "Bixia, Xu Hao can take the initiative to share the worries of the imperial court, and he should be rewarded." However, the minister believed that he should not be ordered to lead the troops, because his qualifications were still young and his age was not enough to serve the people, and the suppression of the rebellion was of great importance, so he should have ordered the Hunan Wangfu and the Shu Wangfu to sit in the town and supervise, and coordinate the local officials and troops to surround and annihilate them in multiple ways, which was a safe policy. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't insist, in fact, he didn't like Xu Hao's ability to command the army, and he knew that the kid was most afraid of death, so he immediately smiled and said: "According to Aiqing's words, it will be played." The conversation changed and said to Master Ma: "Regarding Xu Hao's suggestion, he proposed that the Taifu Temple should cancel the civil official position and appoint the military attache of Zhishi to raise horses instead, what do you think?" ”
Master Ma was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Xu Hao to solve the shortcomings of Taifu Temple for many years without making a sound, thinking that he had written to the Ministry of War several times for this when he was young, but he was suppressed by the Ministry of War, and he didn't need to ask to know that it was the old men of the Ministry of War who didn't want to be divided by the military ministers, so he simply kept silent.
Sure enough, the Son of Heaven and the ministers were able to go directly to the heavens, Lord Ma was generous, thinking that he had been a Shaoqing for four years, this was the first time he had entered the Qianqing Palace, and at this moment, he didn't care about the eyes of Qi Tai flying beside him, and nodded and said: "The military attache has dealt with the war horse all his life, and he is more experienced than the literati. ”
Qi Tai suddenly felt that something was wrong, and echoed: "The minister also agrees." ”
"Hmm!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, in fact, as soon as Xu Hao said it, he knew the correctness of this suggestion, it is natural for military attaches to raise horses, and civil officials feel awkward no matter how they look at horses, not to mention the pros and cons, it is simply playing the piano to a cow.
Xingtaifu Temple was established in Hongwu 18 years, originally the Taifu Temple was in charge of the group of herdsmen responsible for raising horses, the importance of war horses is self-evident, so it was specially set up to manage the Taifu Temple. Subordinate to the Ministry of War, who knew that it was gradually controlled by civilian officials, but it was unexpected.
Zhu Yuanzhang specially called Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, and Master Ma of Shaoqing over today, just to see their reactions, if the two of them spoke out against it, then the end would be embarrassing.
Master Ma didn't understand what was going on, and he discussed the horse raising scriptures with the emperor with a calm expression, and Qi Tai was frightened into a cold sweat again, and secretly said that this time he almost angered Bixia twice in succession, but fortunately he reacted quickly. Otherwise, it's troublesome.
Qi Tai was furious in his heart, and secretly scolded you Xu Hao, who dared to face Bixia directly without going through the Ministry of War, obviously he didn't take the Ministry of War and the official in his eyes, and he was really a villain who only knew how to invite the emperor.
Zhu Yunwen kept muttering in his heart, what did Xu Hao do when he went to Hubei? I'll send someone to check it out when I get out in a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang talked with Master Ma for a long time, and found that Master Ma did have rich experience in raising horses, and said with feeling: "What Xu Hao said is true, Aiqing is also proficient in raising horses." In the future, the Taifu Temple will have to pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, and choose the best regardless of identity. In fact, it is not only you who go to the Taifu Temple, but also other yamen in recent years, there are many unsatisfactory points, and they should be corrected one by one. Well. Wait for tomorrow's court meeting to discuss with the ministers. ”
Master Ma was convinced, and couldn't help but say: "Bixia is worried about state affairs, and the minister hopes that Bixia pays attention to the dragon body." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "I don't want to rest, I'm afraid that time won't wait for me." What I have to do must be done. Yun Wei has his own state affairs to worry about in the future, and I can't leave him a mess. ”
Qi Tai hurriedly said loudly: "What worries Bixia? The minister should share the worries for Bixia. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "Xu Hao captured the White Lotus Sect in time this time and cracked a big case along the vine, I am very pleased. Your military department should also pay close attention to such cases of rebellion in various places. Don't wait for something to happen before sending troops to encircle and suppress it, it's too late. In addition, I am most concerned about the border guards, Aiqing, you should work with the officials of the Ministry of War to formulate a national policy, and after I review it, I will send it to the palaces, especially the King of Jin and King Yan. ”
"Yes." Qi Tai said solemnly.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and smiled at his grandson who was eager to try: "I know that you want to share your worries for me, so you will take the lead in leading the household department to organize hundreds of households into a mile, educate the people to protect each other, respect the mellow customs of ancient times, and when the spring ploughing and autumn harvest are powerless, a hundred families will replace them. This recital is from Sui Ji, the warden of Shangyuan County, Yingtianfu, hello, look at the recital written by others, and handle this matter well. ”
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy today, and said: "You proposed to ban the punishment of castration that day, and Xu Hao was also very much in favor of this. I think that I have been in the army for more than 40 years, personally managing the affairs of the world, the truth and falsehood of good and evil, all involved in experience, and not severely punished, how can I be afraid of such treacherous and deceitful people? Xu Hao is right, in the end, you are the king of Shoucheng, you grew up in the deep palace, and you can't know the good and evil of people, so you can't help it for a while, and you accidentally hurt the good. In the future, if the subordinates dare to use this punishment, the civil and military ministers should be impeached in time and punished with a heavy punishment. ”
Originally, Zhu Yunwen was quite happy to hear it, this suggestion was insisted on by his father Zhu Biao when he was alive, he inherited his father's mantle, of course, he had to preach benevolence, righteousness and morality, the persistence of the father and son for more than 20 years finally came to fruition, but I didn't expect a Xu Hao to pop up, it was really disgusting like a bedbug eating a meal.
Zhu Yunwen secretly said that there is Xu Hao in everything? Grandfather Huang, you value him so much, these national policies are all told to him, listen to his advice, and simply appoint him as prime minister? At the same time, he was secretly frightened, it seems that Xu Hao has become an indispensable existence for the emperor's grandfather? This person must not be left unguarded.
Zhu Yunwen didn't regard Xu Hao as a traitor, nor did he regard him as a henchman in the future, on the contrary, he appreciated it very much. Probably because of the rejection of his peers, he couldn't see that Xu Hao was better than himself.
Zhu Yunwen, who wants to be arrogant, boasts of being talented and erudite, and has always respected the older and learned Confucians, such as Qitai Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru who is far away in the Shu Wangfu in Sichuan and a few others.
Zhu Yunwen was very unhappy, and secretly said What kind of thing is Xu Hao? is just a child, in case he is also appointed by the emperor's grandfather as the future trustee of the orphan, I still have to listen to him? It's embarrassing!
