Chapter three hundred and forty second court battle
The same is true for the leaders of other small sects. As long as they can take the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they will be awarded official positions, such as commanding Tongzhi, Qianshi, Xuan comfort envoy Tongzhi, deputy envoy, marshal, recruiting, ten thousand households, etc.
As well as titles such as national master, some even allow hereditary inheritance to their descendants. Thousands of households of officials under them can be appointed and removed by themselves, such as governor and governor.
The Ming Dynasty's requirements for them were very simple. Zhu Yuanzhang also personally issued an order and said: "Those who are now officials must abide by the laws of the court and appease the people; those who are monks must be sincere and lead the people to do good.
Let’s enjoy peace together.”
In short, it's a hello, me, and everyone's routine. The only dissatisfaction is with Pazhu's Sakyamuni Gyaltsen. The Ming Dynasty undoubtedly gave him a hard blow, causing him to lose the opportunity to fundamentally unify Wusi Zang. However,
This person's decision-making was weak and he did not dare to break up with Ming Dynasty, so he could only grit his teeth and admit it.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty was just a delaying tactic. As long as most of the political and religious leaders of Wusi Zang accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, when the country became stronger in the future, it would be natural to rectify Wusi Zang.
This is also a characteristic of China. It is very important to have a good reputation. This may be to prevent the monarch from rashly launching wars for the sake of personal disputes. After all, soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. They must be observed, let alone act recklessly.
Wusizang's affairs were not involved too much, and few officials in the DPRK paid much attention to them. For them, Wusizang was a bitter and cold place for barbarians, and the court should not waste time on them. If they had the time, they might as well take care of Shaanxi.
Drought in Gansu region.
The disaster there has become more and more serious. There has been no heavy rain for more than a hundred days. The canals are dry and cracked. Although there is still some well water, it is enough for human consumption. There is no need to think about irrigating farmland. Local officials have repeatedly petitioned the imperial court for relief.
Although the imperial court had tried its best to arrange food relief, it still felt that it was only a drop in the bucket, and the number of victims was increasing. Local officials reported that it was because some rural people saw that the imperial court had food relief, so they simply hid their own food and wore tattered clothes.
In clothes, he took the whole family to eat at the public house.
This situation is very likely. The common people are cunning in the face of natural disasters. It is always to give the family a better chance of survival. Who knows how many days this disaster relief food can be eaten. After all, don’t believe too much that the imperial court is also the ancestor of the family.
Lessons uploaded.
The imperial government's relief efforts were of little use, and food prices in the Shaanxi-Gansu region were also skyrocketing. At this time, anyone who still had some financial resources would no longer be stingy with money. Wasn't it just to have enough money to buy their lives at this time?
Zhu Biao stood on the imperial steps and listened to the reports from the officials below. He had not been absent from the morning court meetings in the past few days. The local situation was really complicated. If he did not attend the morning court meetings, there might be omissions in some memorials when reviewing them. In the end, it was still necessary to consider the actual situation.
Decisions will be made based on the situation. The central government's policies will be implemented one by one in the disaster area. Zhu Hua dare not be careless.
The superior Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the imperial case and scolded: "We don't want to hear how miserable the people are now, but we want real solutions and whether the batches of grain allocated by the imperial court have fallen into the hands of the people.
Is there any official corruption?”
The officials below lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes. The drought was not serious in the end. The court received the news two months ago. Since then, the court has been more or less arranging food. The experienced people have also
I started frugaling my food and clothing a long time ago.
In addition to the large amount of grain transported a few days ago, it stands to reason that the situation is definitely not so urgent, and has even become more serious. Everyone knows that it is strange that local officials and officials who move grain have not reached out for such a God-given opportunity. I am afraid those who are selling it at high prices A lot of the food was relief food from the imperial court.
After a while, Dai Qian, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stepped forward and said: "I have reported to the Holy Lord that the disaster is like a fire and it is possible that it will be out of control. Moreover, some of the relief grains are dispatched from the south, and a lot of people and horses will be consumed along the way. .Besides, the top priority is not to pursue these matters, but to send another batch of food as soon as possible for relief. I heard that the white lotus Maitreya and other cults are stirring up trouble there again. If it is too late, there may be a big change."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him indifferently and said: "No matter how much food is transported, it will not reach the hands of the people if the Shuoshu is not caught. Doesn't he understand this truth when he travels to places on behalf of Aiqing?"
Dai Gan, the left servant of the household department, seemed to see something in the emperor's eyes and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I am ignorant, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around noncommittally, and finally cast his gaze on Wang Guangyang, who had lost weight: "Does Wang Aiqing have anything to say as the left prime minister?"
Wang Guangyang took a step forward numbly and knelt on the ground: "I am incompetent and cannot bear the position of Prime Minister Zuo. I am unable to share your worries for you, and I am unable to appease the people's livelihood. Please punish me."
Recently, Wang Guangyang has come to realize what it means that the world and the earth are united in all times, and no hero is free. Without the blessing of the Holy One, he was unable to resist the crazy attacks of Hu Weiyong and his group. He could not advance, could not retreat, and could only survive. A target.
He seemed to suddenly realize the feeling of Yang Xian, his political enemy at the time. If the Holy One needs you, you will be in great glory. Even if the six departments of Zhongshu are supporting you, once it loses its effect on the Holy One, his government orders will not even be able to get out of his own government offices.
Hu Weiyong on the side looked calmly at the back of the kneeling figure in front of him. Yang Xian was still prosperous for a while. Even when he was in full swing, he had to retreat and compromise when necessary. But when it came to Wang Guangyang, there was no need for him to take action at all. This person is the Prime Minister of the Left and his virtue is not worthy of his position. The Holy One cannot help him even if he wants to.
As soon as Wang Guangyang said these words, Zhu Yuanzhang also closed his eyes in disappointment. It doesn't matter if the method is not ruthless or ruthless. He was specially used to suppress Hu Weiyong. He thought it would take at least two years, but he didn't expect that this man's bones were too soft.
Even if he was given the opportunity, he didn't want to take it, for fear of offending Hu Weiyong and being unable to escape responsibility in the future. However, he forgot that there was room for both you and Xini in the court. Zhu Biao also sighed in disappointment, Wang Guangyang's back was broken by Yang Xian. He was afraid and just wanted to live in peace for the rest of his life.
If you fall in the court, don't blame others for being ruthless. As Wang Guangyang bowed his head to plead guilty, officials from the Sixth Ministry and the Zhongshu Province spoke out about his impeachment. They believed that as the emperor in charge of the prime minister, he was the prime minister who assisted Wanji. , I only know how to talk and drink tea on weekdays, which is of no benefit to my country and family.
At the beginning, it was just for him personally. After seeing that the emperor did not say anything, the content of the impeachment became more and more serious. He formed cliques for personal gain, engaged in malpractice for personal gain, promoted cronies, embezzled public funds, accepted bribes in the name of appreciating calligraphy and painting, and even someone from the Qintian Prison impeached Shaanxi. The Great Drought in Gansu was caused by the left prime minister mistreating the country and the people, which caused Heaven to feel something!
