Chapter 180: Thou Hero Shall Die Well (I)
Zhang Youzhi is a staff officer with the army, and the matter of drafting the decree is a very simple thing for him, Wang Hongyi ordered it, he laid the paper on the side, lifted the pen, brushed and brushed, almost in one go, a decree has been written, let Wang Hongyi read it.
"Yes, let's use the seal!"
The big seal with the words "Treasure of Shu Kingdom" is pressed on it.
Who to send to announce the decree is a question, and at this time, when the preparations for the royal ceremony are busy, the people of the Secret Literature Pavilion are unable to move.
Wang Hongyi thought for a moment and thought of a candidate, this person had just been mentioned by Zhang Yuzhi at the morning meeting, and was about to be transferred to Xishu to be the county order.
Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi said: "Let Liu Changqing, the eighth-grade scribe of the Secret Pavilion, meet you." ”
Zhang Youzhi stepped back and went to the arranged place to rest.
Besides, Liu Changqing is a scribe in Shudi, who has studied martial arts since he was a child and read military books, so he can be regarded as a type of both civil and military.
It was originally unwilling, but after Wang Hongyi became a trend, he was promoted in the talent recommendation, Wang Hongyi was regarded as having the grace of knowing and promoting, and he was also diligent and hardworking after entering the Secret Pavilion.
This time, he was recommended by Zhang Youzhi to serve as a foreign county commander, Wang Hongyi felt that there were some things now that were suitable for honing this person, and if he honed it properly, he might be able to become a capable minister in the future.
When Wang Hongyi sent someone to find him, Liu Changqing was handing over at the temporary office of the Secret Literature Pavilion.
At this time, it was close to noon, in fact, there were only five rooms in the Secret Pavilion, located on the west side of the main hall, and I saw that inside, there were large cabinets inlaid with copper leaves everywhere, and the documents stored in them were documents.
The middle is densely packed, all are tables, the tables are different according to different grades, there are different sizes and specifications, they are full of folds and scrolls, and the house is full of scrolls and ink, except that, there is no luxury at all, only the self-striking bell imported from Xiqin is precious.
Unlike a simple office place, from here to the outer city, through five gates, three roads, along the way are guards, standing like nails.
According to the rules, you can only enter if you have a silver medal with you, of course, you can't just have a silver medal.
"This is the prime minister's place!" Liu Changqing was sorting out his documents, reluctant to give up, and several colleagues understood his mood very well and did not urge.
According to the rules, Liu Changqing can stay for a long time, eat together at noon, and have to leave in the afternoon.
As Liu Changqing, he couldn't attend the morning meeting, but he had already heard about Zhang Youzhi's recommendation of him.
How many young people who have ambitions don't want to make a contribution? How many don't want to do something to add glory to their ancestors and glorify future generations?
Liu Changqing was very grateful to Zhang Youzhi, but leaving the Secret Literature Pavilion still made him feel emotional!
With the passage of time, the secret pavilion gradually formed a rule, and the person who entered was the ninth grade, and when he arrived inside, he learned the military aircraft, and generally released it when he reached the eighth grade.
And this opportunity is also rare, in the future, the Hanlin Academy will be opened, and the average newcomer can only study and exercise in it.
After the Hanlin Temple, there are Zhaowen Palace, Chongzheng Palace, and Information Administration Palace.
Chongzheng Hall is a banquet official who specializes in reading scriptures to the emperor.
Zhaowen Hall is the place where the history of the country is supervised.
The Senior Administration Hall is actually the candidate of the Secret Literature Pavilion now, and it will be difficult for ordinary people to enter the center in the future, which is also the principle of prevention and rules.
In fact, Wang Hongyi remembered someone's chamber.
The chamber is the same as the current Secret Chamber, a place for cultivating cronies and the core of the ruling body.
However, this kind of cultivation method often allows people to bypass the system and go straight to the core as long as they seize the opportunity, and the damage caused is needless to say.
Therefore, it is still useful to cultivate the "lineage" in the early days, but now that the official system has been strict, the value is not great, and the rule that newcomers can directly enter the Secret Pavilion can be canceled.
This basically cuts off the troubles.
Liu Changqing understands this, and knows that it will be difficult for newcomers to enter here in the future, even if it is himself, if he wants to enter again, he must accumulate officials for more than ten years.
At that moment, an attendant entered the door and shouted, "Liu Changqing, Lord Liu, can you be here?"
Everyone else looked up, stunned.
Liu Changqing hurriedly put the paperwork aside, stood up, and bowed his hand to the visitor: "The next official is Liu Changqing." ”
"Lord Liu, the prince of the country announced that you are going to meet you, so you can go with the slave maid!"
Hearing that it was the lord's announcement, Liu Changqing didn't dare to slack off, explained a few words to his colleagues, followed behind the chamberlain, and hurriedly walked to the back.
Wang Hongyi's study was not far from here, and at this time, there was almost no one in front of the empty corridor.
The dense raindrops fell, and the lake not far away was densely packed, and there were obviously more guards along the way, standing upright one by one, Liu Changqing, who was a little nervous, had a faint sweat on his forehead.
"This is it, please wait here for a while, and the slave will go in and return to the prince. The eunuch said sharply.
"Lord Qiqi, Lord Liu has been brought over by the slave maid. ”
"Let him in. Wang Hongyi reviewed the music and didn't even raise his head.
"Yes, Lord. After receiving Wang Hongyi's order, the chamberlain turned around and invited Liu Changqing in.
Liu Changqing took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, entered the study, and the waiter closed the door from the outside and retreated ten meters away.
The study is elegantly furnished, with little furniture, just a bookcase, a chair, a bookshelf, and a burner and a basin of ice in the distance.
Although it was hot outside, when I entered the study, I only felt that the cool breeze was blowing in my face, which was very refreshing.
"Minister Liu Changqing, I have seen the lord. He didn't dare to look directly at the person sitting behind the bookcase, and when Liu Changqing saw it, he knelt down respectfully and saluted.
"Get up!" Wang Hongyi took out another copy and said without paying much attention to it.
"Thank you, Lord. After Liu Changqing got up, he stood with his head down, glanced at Wang Hongyi, who was reading the letter, and didn't dare to look more, waiting quietly.
After a while, after processing a copy, Wang Hongyi looked at this person.
This is a young man under the age of thirty, with a square face and thin eyebrows, a mustache and beard, standing firmly in an eight-grade official robe, with white luck on the top and red natal qi.
Looking at this person, Wang Hongyi smiled and said, "Have you heard what Zhang Qing said in the hall?"
"Lord Qi, the minister has heard about it. ”
"You have been in the Secret Literature Pavilion for a year and a half, and I have some impressions of you Lonely, knowing that you are a diligent and hard-working person, and such a person is exactly what Lone needs. Wang Hongyi said calmly.
Hearing the lord say this, Liu Changqing leaned down and said: "The lord is simply promoted to the minister, and the minister just does his duty, and he doesn't dare to be praised by the lord." ”
Without paying much attention to this, Wang Hongyi stared at him and continued: "Lonely people go to the land of Xishu to be a county commander, are you willing?"
"I want to. Liu Changqing replied seriously.
"Aren't you afraid that the people there are strong?"
"The minister is not afraid. ”
"Okay!" Wang Hongyi nodded with satisfaction and handed him a Yu order: "Before you go to Xishu to serve as a county order, Gu Xian will send you a task to deliver this Yu order to Ding Huchen, the general of the Ping Barbarians, and go to him to announce the Yu order, are you willing?"
"The minister will never give up. Liu Changqing said.
"Don't die, Xiyi Prefecture has cleaned up most of it, and it is already peaceful, but restoring people's livelihood and rebuilding counties and counties is naturally very heavy, you go there to observe the people's feelings, hone your experience, and it will be of some use to you in the future." ”
"In addition to Yu Ling, there is also a secret letter, you must travel day and night, and sleeping in the open is a must, but before you take office, Gu has prepared a vehicle, an attendant, and a deputy envoy for you, and you will set off in a while!"
This secret letter was handed over to Ding Huchen, Wang Hongyi believes that officials can be vague to show mystery, but the way of the king is to have Tianxian in his mouth, and every word is the law.
Showing the law by force is the king, so the laws and orders he issued are simple and clear, and it is not easy to say a word, of course, he does not hesitate to deal with violators.
The content of the secret letter is very simple, that is, it directly tells Ding Huchen: "The teacher can be lost, it will not be lost, the heroes of the Eight Banners will die well!"
It means that the people on the three banners are consumed, this is the policy, but the middle and upper classes, especially the upper class, must not be lost, these "heroes" must basically go back safely, Wang Hongyi added officials and promotions to these people.
In fact, it is ten of the consumption, and then the recall of the additional officials is it, compared with the history, the previous is exactly the same, but the result is different.
In politics and history, once the military power of such people is consumed, they are often put to prison and executed, which in Wang Hongyi's view is typical short-sightedness.
The country is still stingy with this little Juetian?
With lessons from the past, who is not afraid?
The reason is the same, if you do it like this, even if you have to take refuge and cooperate, as soon as you have the opportunity, you are raising thieves and self-respect, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which pass will not be like this, and the Manchurians will be raised.
The core of this Eight Banners system, in fact, has two cores, the first is to fight a civil war with razing and destroying the enemy, and if one dies, there will be one less, even if the Eight Banners win, only half or even one-third of their clan will remain, and there will be no chance to turn the sky upside down.
The second is a good death.
How much land is there in the country, just a name, a little land, and a few new counties can be rewarded to the whole country, so why make everyone endanger.
The Eight Banners are gone, in fact, there is no threat to the country, then all high-ranking officials are generous, and their children and grandchildren can multiply, so that future foreign heroes can see it and do things for the court, not afraid of no good results, so that they can have no worries.
It's ridiculous to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
"Obey. Liu Changqing thanked him and stepped aside.
Half a day later, a carriage, under the protection of all the attendants, left Xiangyang City, first took the waterway, passed through Dongshu, and rushed to the land of Xishu.
Hurry up, twenty days later, arrived at the Pingban general's office, Ding Huchen was ordered to accept the order, read the secret letter again, and understood the meaning of the lord.
The will has been read, and Ding Huchen also understands what the lord means.
After Liu Changqing read it, he was no longer an envoy, but became a county order, and Ding Huchen said to the hundreds of households accompanying the army: "Please return to the lord, the lord's meaning, the minister has understood." ”
In the same month, Ding Huchen summoned three banners and made the whole clan send troops, leading 12,000 troops, !~!
