April 15th.
Xiyuan, next to Taiye Pool.
Zhu Yijun sat on a low stool and was fishing next to Taiye Pond.
As a rare pastime nowadays, it is also a good way to regulate your mood.
Zhang Hong came to report the incident and was handed a fishing rod while standing aside.
"In addition to money, Master Xu also asked officials and guards who studied arithmetic to stay and teach for half a year so that he could start to expand his student base."
Zhu Yijun smiled happily.
Very energetic.
Just by looking at this hand, you can tell that he is really working hard to do his best.
Whether it is a school or a Yanzheng yamen, if you want to start a yamen in the era of governance, the first thing you need to do is to build a building and allocate funds, that is, you must first form tangible assets.
What follows closely is the issue of staffing.
As soon as Xu Jie entered the school, he asked for the disposal of the banknotes to the college and tried every means to fill the temporary staff. This shows that there was no fooling around.
Zhu Yijun ordered: "Just do as Master Xu said."
"However, we have to send people to review the whereabouts of the money every quarter, and at the end of the year, the Ministry of Accounts and the Department of Science and Technology are also called in for a joint review to form a customized system."
There will definitely be a lot of money spent in the future, so we can't leave too obvious loopholes in the early stages of development.
Zhang Hong accepted the order.
Zhu Yijun thought of something and asked, "Wang Shizhen hasn't entered Beijing yet?"
He issued an edict to revive it years ago, but these people were too inactive.
Zhang Hong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Wang Shizhen is observing filial piety for her mother. It only ended at the beginning of the year and she is already on her way."
Zhu Yijun suddenly realized.
Immediately, I felt helpless. The matter of keeping filial piety fell on the ministers who wanted to use it, which was really troublesome.
Unfortunately, there is no good solution.
Zhang Hong looked at the emperor who was meditating from the corner of his eye, and pulled the fishing rod without leaving any trace, driving away the fish that was about to bite the hook, so as not to fish before the emperor.
He continued to report: "Yushi Hai has approved the imperial examination, and the Ministry of Etiquette has approved it."
"However... Zhang Siwei said that the country and the dynasty have not seen any precedents, and how to implement it still needs to be considered."
This is an ambiguous attitude.
Zhu Yijun sneered.
He knew very well what was going on, and this was urging him.
Zhu Yijun said calmly: "Did Yang Bo write a memorial to become an official again?"
Zhang Hong had already prepared a draft and hurriedly responded: "The one who came up this morning has been retained according to His Majesty's instructions."
Zhu Yijun nodded: "Encourage Yang Bo for me and let him recover well. I can recommend a minister to take over the affairs of the cabinet temporarily. After he recovers, he will return to the cabinet to handle affairs."
Everyone knows who they will recommend.
Zhang Hong wrote it down.
Zhu Yijun didn't fish for a long time and felt that his position was not good, so he got up and changed positions.
He asked casually: "What is the expression of the nobles who were impeached by the court yesterday?"
Zhang Hong pulled the fishing rod and said carefully: "Hui'an Bo, Zhang Yuanshan, Cheng'an Bo, Guo Yingqian, wrote to please stay for a while. The doors are closed today to thank guests."
"Li Yingchen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, Zhao Zuzheng, the uncle of Xincheng... went to find Duke Ying, and Duke Cheng came to help him."
"The two princes ignored it and let their wives into the palace to find the two empress dowagers."
Zhu Yijun frowned, this is too stupid.
This is not only because I am stupid, but because there is no smart person in my house.
No wonder he did the stupid thing of imprisoning the policeman privately.
He said with some disgust: "Instruct Hui Anbo and Cheng Anbo to live at home."
"As for the other two idiots, all the impeachment memorials have been left intact."
In addition to protecting the situation, it also means to increase the intensity of the situation. It depends on the courtiers' own taste.
Zhang Hong wrote it down again.
Then he cautiously said: "This morning, Gu Huan, the governor of the capital camp, once again petitioned for impeachment."
"Li Cheng'en, the brave general, has not arrived at the camp today."
"The Shenji Camp guerrillas Chen Xiong and gathered a crowd to start gambling last night."
"The captain of the Shenshu camp assists in attacking the marquis's body, but he refuses to obey the rules."
"Liu Zhi, the right deputy general of the Fifth Army Camp, had a private fight."
"Central Army officer Yang Shikai led his troops to play Cuju..."
Every time Zhang Hong said something, Zhu Yijun's face turned ugly.
The latter interrupted the conversation directly: "What did the Ministry of War say?"
Zhang Hong hesitated for a moment, and then carefully replied: "The Ministry of War sent a call back, saying that this is the habit of the Beijing camp, and just let Gu Huan reprimand him."
"Governor Gu asked His Majesty privately if he could handle it through military law."
Li Chengen was the son of the eldest princess, Liu Zhi was the nephew of Uncle Chengyi, and Yang Shikai was from the residence of Uncle Zhangwu.
Li Wenquan is still his biological uncle.
All in all, these assistant generals and lieutenants are either relatives of nobles, or the Ministry of War will not let them move.
If you want to deal with it through military law, you must first ask the emperor about his political influence.
Really helpless.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Let Su Shirun, the censor of Jiangxi Province, load the bullet."
"Tell Ge Shouli and Li Zaiting again that the impeachment of these nobles by Ke Daoyanguan should be more intense. My uncle and cousin, don't be merciful and blow the wind louder first."
The imperial camp has been patrolled by Ke Dao Yan officials for many years, and now it is the imperial censor Su Shirun, who is also the person Ge Shouli can control.
There was too much noise in the military legal proceedings, and Gu Huan couldn't bear it.
It's better to use the bullets and follow the momentum of this time and deal with them together.
Those who should be fined will be fined copper, those who should be transferred will be transferred, and those who should stay idle will stay idle.
Just...you still have to go through the Ministry of War.
He turned around and asked: "Who is eyeing the position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War and Assistant Manager of the Beijing Camp now?"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is certain that Zhao Kongzhao will become an official.
Those who hope to be in this position should be ready to make a move.
Zhang Hong thought about it for a while and said with speculation: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War seems to intend to let Shi Maohua assist in the affairs of the capital."
Zhu Yijun frowned after hearing this.
Before Wang Chonggu did not enter the capital, the Ministry of War had been vacant. Shi Maohua controlled the Ministry of War and made great progress in terms of qualifications and reputation.
If he were to assist in managing the capital camp, he would probably have to enclose the territory independently, making it difficult to enter in the face of wind and rain.
Zhu Yijun asked: "Is there any more?"
Zhang Hongru counted his family treasures: "There are also Yuan Fu and Lu Ge Lao, who prefer Wang Xilie to take over this position."
"Mr. Gao Ge read the writings of Wang Daokun, the deputy minister of inspection and reading."
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he was silent.
After a while, he finally said: "Let Xu Jie and Yang Bo recommend people to come up."
Zhang Hong bowed and said yes.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak again, he wisely put down his fishing rod and turned around to do his business.
…
It rained lightly in the afternoon, and the streets in the capital were particularly refreshing and cool, with the fresh smell of earth, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
There are exceptions, however.
This building in Honglu Temple was used to receive barbarians and was ruined by barbarians who did not understand etiquette. Over the years, it did not smell very good.
If it's like this outside, it's even worse inside.
Tu Xiying, the minister of Honglu Temple, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves. The disgust in his eyes flashed away, and he looked down at the envoys of Duoyan Guard.
The eunuch Wei Chao on the side smiled and said: "Everyone, please accept the reward."
Officials from the Siyi Pavilion were at hand to translate it into Mongolian.
One of the messengers said in a low voice: "I understand, I don't need you to translate."
After saying that, he turned around and spoke Mongolian with several other envoys.
Having experienced war and peace in the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, cultural exchanges between the two sides are naturally inevitable, and there are naturally many people who are bilingual.
After some translations to confirm the truth, the leading envoy understood what the Ming Dynasty meant.
Brimbato Aoden frowned and said: "We don't want silver, we want cloth, we want grain, we want fine salt!"
"And, too little!"
This man was burly and had a barbaric air. When he opened his mouth, the eunuchs and officials in front of him couldn't help but cover their noses.
No need for a translator to translate, Tu Xiying, the minister of Honglu Temple, shook his head: "It's too troublesome to escort food and tea. It's not easy to transport."
"On the contrary, silver is convenient and can be exchanged for food, tea, anything."
He didn't even bother to mention a few things. It wasn't like he was defeated. It was a little interesting, but it was too little.
After listening to his companion's translation, Aoden said in a deep voice: "There is no place for us to buy it!"
The Ming Dynasty only established mutual trade with Anda Khan, while Tuman Khan did not receive such treatment due to years of war.
Tu Xiying, the minister of Honglu Temple, smiled: "You can go find King Shunyi later."
King Shunyi is the title of Ada Khan, and he is also the only leader of Ada Khan who has access to mutual trade.
Tu Xiying paused and said with a subtle expression: "Or, let the leader of your department, Governor Chang'ang, come forward and talk to me about mutual trade."
The voice was not loud, and everyone present could hear it.
Wang Chonggu, the Minister of War, who was listening in the cubicle, also listened.
The Mongols sent people to ask for rewards. Wang Chonggu, as the minister of the Ministry of War and a person who made suggestions, was naturally very interested in coming to listen and get a feel for the situation.
He even brought his nephew who was about to join the cabinet.
Zhang Siwei whispered from the side: "Uncle, is this really useful? Chang Ang's father died at the hands of our court. The revenge of killing his father is so deep in the sea of ​​blood..."
Wang Chonggu glared at Zhang Siwei.
Without saying a word he stood up and walked out of the room.
Seeing that his uncle stopped listening, Zhang Siwei hurriedly followed.
"Are we not going to listen?"
Wang Chonggu glanced at his nephew, who had been a little complacent recently, and said coldly: "Just obey the rules when you are asked to listen."
"There is still a discussion next door, and you speak so casually..."
"Aren't you too complacent?"
He has been in the border town these years and has not seen his nephew for many years. Unexpectedly, in front of him, he has begun to forget about it.
Zhang Siwei received the training and his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly admitted his mistake and apologized: "My uncle is right in reprimanding me. I know I was wrong."
Zhang Siwei has not forgotten what he relied on for his successful official career.
Now, even though he is about to join the cabinet, he still dare not disrespect his uncle.
Wang Chonggu snorted coldly and strode out of Honglu Temple.
Zhang Siwei was an official sitting in the yamen and was weak, so he had to jog to keep up.
"My nephew is aware of his mistake. Uncle, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to be so angry that you lose your health."
Seeing that Zhang Siwei was out of breath and his attitude was quite sincere, Wang Chonggu calmed down and slowed down.
But he still said a lesson: "Don't get carried away when you see that you are about to join the cabinet."
"The Tatar crisis is a major matter for the country and every move is related to the safety of the world. You cannot be frivolous."
"If the situation really goes bad, the emperor will be kidnapped, let alone a mere cabinet minister!"
Although Wang Chonggu was greedy for money and cliquey, his attitude towards side affairs had always been very upright.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Juzheng values ​​​​the high arch.
Zhang Siwei once again expressed his position: "My nephew has little qualifications and needs my uncle's advice. Today, my uncle will tell me and my nephew will know about it and he will definitely keep it in his heart."
Only then did Wang Chonggu let him go.
After reprimanding and admitting their mistake, the two of them walked out of Honglu Temple and got into the sedan chair.
Riding in the same sedan, Wang Chonggu began to explain Zhang Siwei's question: "Do you think the revenge of killing your father is at the front, and even if Chang'ang gains power, you will not resolve the grudges with our court?"
Zhang Siwei nodded.
Wang Chonggu shook his head helplessly: "You should pay more attention to side affairs when you have time. Even the emperor who summoned me yesterday seemed to know the Tatars better than you."
He paused and explained: "The Tatars are not like the Central Plains, and the Khans are not as obedient as the emperors of our dynasty. The leaders of each tribe are even more scattered."
"The Tatar invasion and plundering was not a dispute between the Yuan and Ming Dynasties as the Confucian scholars said, nor was it to avenge the bloody feud you mentioned."
"After all, it's for survival! For food, cloth and salt!"
"The Hulu are a nuisance to China, but they only want food and clothing. This is why our government rewards them so much."
"As long as food and clothing are the conditions, even if Chang Ang wants to continue to invade, he may not be able to control the nobles in the tribe."
Of course, it is just a little appeasement, and there is definitely no need to think about the mutual market. It is just a big cake for Chang'ang.
Zhang Siwei was thoughtful.
But he really had no interest in it and didn't bother to ask further.
The two of them turned to talking about home affairs.
From Wang Chongguyin's son who entered the Imperial Academy, to Shanxi merchants' share of this year, etc.
Not long after, the carriage swayed all the way to Yang Bo's house.
The two got off the carriage and were ushered into the mansion by the servants.
Yang Bo's mansion is naturally indescribably grand.
But at this time, many decorations and utensils were put away, as if they were ready to return home.
Yang Bo was in the courtyard, wearing coarse linen clothes and moving flower pots.
The dragon is vigorous and the tiger is fierce, and there is no sign of illness at all.
Seeing Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei walking in, Yang Bo took the towel handed by the servant and wiped his sweat while confessing: "I accidentally fell into a trance and forgot the time."
"Wait while I go change my clothes first."
Wang Chonggu returned the greeting politely and expressed his permission.
Yang Bo handed over his hand to plead guilty and returned to the inner hall.
Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei and others were led to the study.
The servants made tea and waited for a while before Yang Bo changed into regular clothes and came out.
"The mainstay of the scholar, he has been driven by all parties since he entered the capital. I haven't given him a chance to help him, so I will make do with him in my house tonight."
Xuefu is Wang Chonggu's character.
Yang and Wang were both from Puzhou, Shanxi. They were probably fellow villagers in the same county. They had reached the central position together, so there was no need to talk about their friendship.
Wang Chonggu stood up to greet him and said with a wry smile: "I haven't apologized to Mr. Yang Ge yet for the matter of the imperial decree."
The golden book of decree is an iron ticket to avoid death.
Engraved on it are the words "I still swear to you that, except for treason, if you commit any capital crime, you will be spared once in return for your honor."
This is the golden medal for avoiding death - there are two high arches.
Wang Chonggu himself had not received the gift, so there was no use holding it.
But after Yang Bo entered the cabinet, he quietly touched one and showed it to Wang Chonggu for viewing.
As a result, the Dongchuang Incident broke out in February and he was impeached by the official, causing Yang Bo a lot of trouble.
Yang Bo took this lightly. He was going to become an official anyway, so he enjoyed it by sending some favors to his fellow villagers before leaving.
He waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. When Ziwei comes to the cabinet, I can also get a golden book for me to play with."
The three of them sat down separately.
Only then did we get down to business.
Yang Bo asked with concern: "What's going on over there at Xuanda?"
Wang Chonggu's work was impeccable, and it took so long to arrange it, so there shouldn't be any mistakes, but Yang Bo felt a little uneasy if he didn't ask clearly.
The former nodded calmly and said confidently: "It shouldn't matter. Within three years, I will only recognize my people."
"If there is any problem, Sanniang will help me."
The third lady is the wife of Anda Khan. After marrying Anda Khan at the age of nine, her prestige in the tribe increased day by day because of her wisdom and bravery.
After being rewarded by the Ming Dynasty, his power was close to that of Ada Khan, and he became one of the most powerful figures in the tribe.
When I agreed to pay tribute in the first place, it was Sanniangzi and Wang Chonggu who facilitated it. They were the strongest alliance of interests.
Yang Bo was still a little worried and said hesitantly: "The emperor asked Tan Lun to go to the university to declare his university. This person is not an economical person."
Wang Chonggu thought for a while and shook his head: "The situation in Xuanda is complicated. Even if I have someone to rely on, I don't dare to make any big moves. It will be the same for everyone."
"What's more, His Majesty may not be as vicious as you guessed."
Yang Bo's expression changed: "Yesterday after the court meeting, you played alone, what did the emperor say to the scholar?"
Chapter completed!
