After a morning meeting, Zhu Di was very happy. He had a group of assistants who were willing to do things. There were many government affairs that he wanted to push but couldn't push. Finally, someone was willing to charge into the battle. There is nothing happier than this.
Jian Yi, the Tianguan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was physically and mentally exhausted. Although he didn't say a few words, the pressure on his shoulders was heavy and he could hardly breathe.
These old ministers of Jianwen were in a life-threatening manner when they first came up. None of them were easy to deal with. They all had red eyes. If such a group of evil wolves were allowed to come in, there would definitely be trouble in the court.
As a heavenly official, my days are really like years.
When he was thinking about how to deal with it, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Xie Jin, the general affairs envoy, came to visit.
To be honest, Jian Yi was slightly startled by Jie Jin's sudden arrival...but he soon felt relieved.
If you really think of Xie Jin as Xu Jingchang's best friend, who only obeys orders and has no brains to support anything he does, then you are confused. What determines people's hearts is their position.
Once you sit in that position, you will inevitably have ideas that are in your own interests.
Huang Guan resurrected and suddenly took away the power of interpreting Jin's interpretation of scriptures. The old ministers resurrected one after another and gathered in Pingzhangyuan, and they seemed to be evacuating the general administration department.
"Will you delay your departure from Beijing?"
It was so outrageous that my mother opened the door for me, and I came home.
Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly flipped through the pages, browsing slowly, and then said: "He said that there are only 700 people left in the entire Chizhou Guard, but is it true?"
Huang Guan paused and suddenly said: "Jian Shangshu, Xia Shangshu... they may know that you had suggested abolishing some guard posts and replacing them with recruiting soldiers. As a result..."
"Seventh brother!"
"Brother, you really think that he is still alive, but he is still alive and promoted... He is really protected by his ancestors!"
Xie Jin raised his head and smiled, "This is because of Duke Dingguo's support. You should remember his small kindness and virtue."
The two middle-aged women hugged each other, tears stopped flowing upwards, and they sobbed loudly.
The family reunion was naturally a happy event. With tears in his eyes, Weng prepared a table of bad food. Xia Yuanji was also very generous and asked two jars of bad wine to be brought from outside his home.
"That's a bit of evidence you found, but you know it's useless..."
Xie Jin sighed: "Your Majesty is so narrow and ambitious, but it is a shame that Duke Dingguo helped me so much."
At this moment, Xie Jin will probably move closer to the courtiers.
"You secretly jotted it down while working in the quarry for a year and a half. Shizhi asked all of them, so they must be correct."
And that is not considered a betrayal. Xia Yuanji and I have long said that the two of us are in a cooperative relationship, not subordinate. Did Xia Yuanji ask Huang Guan to obey orders?
Huang Guan's voice was high and he said: "Now that all the old officials of Jianwen have returned, we are sure to have a firm foothold in the court, and Xu Jingchang will be left alone."
Huang Guan smiled bitterly and said: "Jian Tianguan, that is an obvious thing. We are talking about these commanders and governors. Take Qianhu, for example. A thousand households may not have a son! The one who will inherit my position will
If there is only one, what should we do with the rest? Do we have to sit idle and eat nothing? For those thousands of households, our power is much smaller than that of the magistrates in the mainland. If we want to find a way to annex the land of military households, or to
The reason why military households became tenant households was for our own families to survive, reproduce, and live a bad life. As for these military households who suffered the consequences, they would flee. That's why there was no problem of Wei Wei being known to the world. If Zhou Xiuyong is brave, he will be brave. If I were
If you really dare to touch that hornet's nest, you are afraid that I will die or live, after all, the army is the same as Shandong!"
As soon as he said that, the tears that Huang Gou had just controlled started to flow again.
But Jian Yi is not worried, he has his own way to deal with it.
Xie Jin walked back slowly, and Qu Shiming followed him. When he reached the door of the living room, Qu Shi suddenly stopped.
"It's a Qianhu from Chizhou Guard. I got interested and took him away. You were convinced and wanted to rescue him. Young Fang inquired about it and only heard when he came here that you would rather die than surrender and be tortured alive."
Even if he was beaten to death, the whereabouts of the body will be known... Little brother, you are right for him!"
"Bro!"
Jian Yi smiled again, "Is that so?" I turned my gaze to Huang Guan and said with a smile, "What does he think of Jie Tongzheng?"
After arriving at the wine table, Huang Gou sighed and sighed as he recounted his past experiences.
Huang Shangshu waved his hand, "You are right, you are right to think so... Since we are old ministers of Jianwen, with thousands of eyes staring at us, we dare to blatantly form cliques for personal gain. We should do less things, just like Zhou Shixiu, who dared to touch
If you run into the border military guard station, it will really be fatal."
Let the yellow goose catch the wind and wash away the dust.
Qu Shiming reached out and took it, wondering: "What is that?"
Xie Jin's mind was still speculating. If he were alive, he might have left the capital... "You are in trouble. Where are you buried? You plan to take the time to visit and pay homage behind the grave. You are from the Huang family."
Little hero."
Xia Yuanji smiled and said, "That's a happy event. Huang Bashou has no successor, and his children must be smart. When you don't have time, you can introduce them to my great-grandson and be my companion to cultivate feelings for a while.
Soon the young phoenix will be as clear as the old phoenix!"
While we were talking, we retreated from the mansion.
Someone outside also ran out.
Things like rectifying the military system were difficult for Xia Yuanji to do, so Huang Guan was naturally willing to do it for him.
Huang Guandao: "Jian Tianguan, you have done some work on this matter. Apart from the hard work in the border areas when military households fled, these hereditary generals also occupied the fields and turned military households into tenant farmers. Recruiting soldiers only requires money from the court.
But to rectify the military household is to go against all the nobles, so I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."
I didn't say it, but everyone knew it, and it almost ruined my career.
Jie Jin looked at his brother, grabbed my wrist, and spread his hands under the table. He saw that his hands were very rough, and a section of his thumb was missing. It was hit by a stone, so it had to be amputated.
"Don't be afraid, let dad take a look."
On Xia Yuanji's side, there were quite a few people fussing over their marriage, but I still stopped by the Huang Mansion and didn't go back to my own home.
Xia Yuanji was shocked, "Seriously?"
At that time, Xia Yuanji suddenly said: "Xu Jingchang must be sad...Jinyiwei will sit back and watch this kind of case. You should arrange people to go there immediately to find out whether it is unclear or not."
Jie Jin frowned. Although he had no idea, he was still sad and angry. Was it the imperial court or the bandits?
But now that the rectification of the health center was mentioned again... Qu Shi felt that the opportunity had come again.
Jian Yi took a deep breath and looked at Huang Shangshu again.
Qu Shi was also angry and said with a smile: "It's true that after Your Majesty retreated to Yingtian, the only concubine you had left became pregnant. Your brother Huang Gou took you away quietly and went to Jiangxi.
Home, you got the news later that I gave birth to a son, and the child is not yet two years old. Your brother should be able to leave Beijing soon, which will prevent the father and son from being reunited."
Qu Shiming smiled and said: "Huang Bashou, is he really planning that? You see, he is quite old. He only has two male friends outside the family, so he wants to work harder? To spread the branches and leaves of the Huang family?"
We were already familiar with each other, so Xia Yuanji became so unscrupulous that he asked questions about everything.
Jian Yi frowned slightly, "Can Xie Tongzheng Qin explain it in more detail?"
Xie Jin smiled and said: "You too, now that all the old friends are back together, what are you worried about? Going forward, instead of studying and repairing books, being a happy man is enough."
Xie Jin nodded sadly, Huang Gou thought for a long time, then reached into his arms, took out a large book, and placed it under the table.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Xie Jin faked his surrender and came here to find out more about it.
"Jian Tianguan thought that Duke Ding would be able to settle down after he got married and established a career. Why would he want to find a wife for these old officials of Jianwen?" Xia Yuanji complained.
Two years is a long time, but life and death are special. We have to go through forty-four and forty-one hardships before we can be reunited!
"I have been busy for such a long time, and I really don't think about Madam's craftsmanship at all."
He robs women and dominates men, and beats them to death. It's really cute!
Xie Jin invited Xia Yuanji over to introduce him to his brothers, and then the little ones retreated into the living room together. Xie Jin's eldest son was holding a two-year-old baby. The big guy saw a familiar person and was not a little scared, but I
With delicate features and a slight resemblance to Xie Jin, I couldn't help but reach out and hold the child in my arms.
Huang Shangshu was stunned, "So, I'm looking at Xie Jin's girl? That's right! With Xie Jin's background, I am destined to be a lonely minister. If I look for my man, I'm afraid I will only help Duke Ding."
It will also become a burden.”
In fact, even 700 people showed up!
"Really, after all, there are not even 100 people in that thousand households, and there are less than 80 servants among them."
Even if calculated at 80%, there are not 8,000 people, and if you discount it, there are not even 1,000 less people.
"Little brother, I'm sorry for him. You have to protect the mother of the child."
What's surprising is that someone actually came out to greet me. As soon as I walked outside, I heard the sound of talking and laughing, but it was silent!
It's just that before you can mobilize the forces in the army, you must first get the support of the courtiers. That's why Huang Guan came here.
There are usually not seven thousand-household units in one guard. If it were fully staffed, it would be 7,800 people. Of course, Xia Yuanji's Jinyi Guards were ordinary and could be calculated based on common sense.
"Snatched it? Who did it?" Jie Jin asked in shock.
Jian Yi snorted, "You asked, Duke Dingguo was in Xu Jingchang's mansion those days, and Xu Jingchang didn't have two girls who were as beautiful as flowers. Does he know?"
When Xia Yuanji saw that, he clenched his fists and said solemnly: "If that's true, to defeat the military system, a thousand cuts would be enough!"
The eight important ministers all fell silent.
"Seventh brother, he has suffered!" Qu Shi could not help but lament.
…
"Brother, you know where the body is... you were snatched away."
Jian Yi frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "You see, Your Majesty's intention is to empty the guard base and replenish the military household, and he has no intention of recruiting troops."
"That's the stone farm run by this beast... I turned the imperial military households into my own craftsmen. I mined the mountains to extract stones and sold them in small shops. It is said that many stones were sold to Yingtian."
Xia Yuanji said: "Is it said that distant relatives are like close neighbors?"
Huang Shangshu also frowned, "The truth is that, but abolishing military households and using recruitment instead can stop the salary, and the national treasury can still bear it."
