Chapter 484 0479 [The eldest princess also wants to welcome the rebel army]
Zhu Dunru has been sent here for more than half a month. At first, he wanted to take off the air, but Zhu Ming didn't want to accept him at all.
Finally, Zhu Dunru couldn't bear his temper and took the initiative to ask for a meeting: "The city of Tokyo is about to be destroyed. Doesn't the Marshal not want to ask about politics?"
Ju Ming smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the Landscape Master of Qingdu, do you care about this worldly affairs?"
Qingdu is the capital palace of God.
In the poem written by Zhu Dunru, he compares himself to being a deity descending to earth. He regards glory and wealth as dirt, and is too lazy to return to heaven to become a deity. He only wants to plant plum blossoms sideways and drink drunkenly in Luoyang.
However, why would a person who is passionate about mountains and rivers study hard in the art of war and governance?
Why did a man who repeatedly rejected Song Huizong's conquests come to Tokyo with such an imperial edict immediately after the new emperor Zhao Huan ascended the throne?
It is a pity that this king traveled to the south. Although he was appreciated by Zhao Gou, he only used his status as a famous scholar to enhance the legitimacy of his claim to emperor and regarded him only as an imperial scholar.
Zhao Gou liked his paintings, but Zhu Dunru didn't want to be a jester, so he said it was Qian Duanhui's painting and that he was not good at painting.
After several years of wasted time, he finally became a local magistrate with real power, but was dismissed because of the main battle.
In his later years, he was tricked by his son and had to accept Qin Hui's recommendation, earning the reputation of being a member of Qin Hui's party.
Zhu Dunru felt that he had been misunderstood, so he explained: "When the emperor is in power, I am the Landscape Master of Qingdu. When Duke Ming is in front of him, I am a guest in the world of mortals."
Zhu Ming asked: "How can I become Duke Ming?"
Zhu Dunru said: "Han Shizhong, the marshal's subordinate, led the troops to capture Luoyang. He established a plan to pacify the people, and there was no offense in the autumn. This is a true teacher of benevolence and righteousness. If he can control the army in troubled times, the marshal naturally has great ambitions and a world. If Han Shizhong cannot restrain the soldiers in Luoyang
, I will never agree to come to see the marshal."
"Do you have a way of governing the country?" Zhu Ming asked curiously.
Zhu Dunru said: "To govern a country is nothing more than to govern the officials, the army, and the people."
"Let's talk about governing officials first. The Song Dynasty co-governed the world with scholar-bureaucrats, but it treated the scholar-bureaucrats too favorably. Enjoying the benefits without shouldering their responsibilities was the source of the corruption of official administration. The disadvantages of redundant officials increased the burden on the people. If the marshal were to
To win the world, the first priority is that civil servants cannot avoid death penalty by fines of copper..."
"Let's talk about running the army. There are many generals in Luoyang, and I have a lot of contacts with the Zhong family's children. The military people are too constrained in fighting, so they must be allowed to do things conveniently. But we must also guard against the military personnel causing chaos. The military personnel can be ordered to lead the army, and the civilian officials are not allowed to interfere at will.
At the same time, warriors are not allowed to serve as magistrates, lest they gain the right to recruit troops. If there is a war, they can choose commanders to lead the generals. If the army loses, the commanders will take the lead, and they cannot just pass it off to warriors..."
"Also talk about governing the people. The four people are scholars, farmers, industry and merchants. Nowadays, scholars are more indulged in pleasure and should cultivate their virtues. Those without virtue should not be officials. Farmers work hard and should take corvee lightly and pay less. People in industry and merchants should not be arbitrarily followed by the court.
Bad tune..."
After hearing this, Ju Ming was a little disappointed and asked: "Is that all?"
Zhu Dunru said: "If the officials, the army, and the people are all under control, we can raise the king's army and restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Youyun, the fence of the north, once recovered, can save millions of border troops. In the crusade against Xixia, we should camp step by step and build strongholds."
, immigrate to the border and educate the Tibetan people. In ten years, Xixia should be completely wiped out. After Xixia is eliminated, the Western Regions can be conquered, and the Silk Road can be opened and a huge amount of money can be obtained. Dali in the south should also capture everything. The barbarians in southern Sichuan must be recruited into the army.
Take the barbarian soldiers as the forerunner and be careful to guard against miasma. After Dali is laid down, we should move the people from Guangnan to implement it, and then choose a wise and brave general to guard it..."
Ju Ming laughed again and again when he heard this. He felt that the man in front of him was a bit like the keyboard warrior of later generations.
The Song Dynasty has not yet been destroyed, and it is already thinking about expanding its territory.
"This is for you," Ju Ming threw him a gift, "please serve as a clerk under me first. If you capture Tokyo, do you dare to become the governor of Kaifeng?"
"Why don't you dare?" Zhu Dunru was overjoyed.
It's not easy to be a governor in Kaifeng. If you are not careful, you will overturn.
For this key position, Ju Ming did not want to use old officials from the Song Dynasty, and the civil servants he brought were difficult to convince the public. It was better to get Zhu Dunru to try, which could be regarded as a test for this person.
Zhu Dunru accepted the order and resigned. When he looked at the gift from Zhu Ming, it was just a square of smoke and ink with the words "Jinping Pu Shunmei" written on it.
I was even more happy immediately. This ink was made by Pu Dashao, a famous craftsman in Langzhong. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
The status of craftsmen in the Song Dynasty among the people has rapidly improved, and they are at least more recognized than the craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty.
But he was still looked down upon by the authorities.
Take Pu Dshao as an example. Zhao Gou looked at the inscriptions on the ink and learned that it was left by a craftsman. He immediately smashed the ink on the ground and said to the eunuch: "It is a crime for a craftsman to dare to use his name in vain!"
However, Pu Dashao usually wore a Confucian shirt and could interact with countless officials and celebrities, and even became a guest of first- and second-rank officials.
There is a disconnect between traditional concepts and reality to a certain extent.
Pu Dashao offered ink to Zhu Guoxiang, and Zhu Guoxiang was willing to accept it because he wanted to improve his status as a craftsman and even let his son use the ink.
There are a large number of craftsmen in Tokyo, who are the key targets of Ju Ming's protection.
…
Due to poor arresting efforts, Li Ruoshui, who was acting as the governor of Kaifeng, was dismissed from his post and thrown back to the Ministry of Civil Affairs as a minister.
Wang Shiyong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has little work to do now and was transferred to be the prefect of Kaifeng. This old man later had a nickname, "Grandpa Jin" (i.e. the father-in-law of the Jin), and he was the most diligent in hunting down women for the Jin.
.
When Wang Shiyong left the Ministry of Industry, he recommended Yan Qi to take over his position.
This Yan Qi also left his name in history. At the beginning of Zhao Gou's journey to the south, he wrote in a letter: "The Jin people like Zhang Bangchang. Although he has become the king of the county and the third Duke, this is not enough to satisfy the Jin people. Zhang Bangchang should be made prime minister."
.Li Gang is hated by the Jin people and is not suitable for him to serve as prime minister."
The two insects were discussing secretly at the moment.
Wang Shiyong said: "There are rumors in Tokyo that Marshal Zhu attaches great importance to craftsmen and orders the rebels not to harm the craftsmen. Have you heard about it?"
"I heard something." Yan Qi nodded.
Wang Shiyong said with a smile: "Where has the most craftsmen in charge? Of course it is the Ministry of Works. Now that you have succeeded me as Minister of the Ministry of Works, you must protect the craftsmen well in order to please Marshal Zhu. When the new dynasty is established, even if you and I can't
Being a minister does not lose the position of a prefect."
Yan Qi immediately paid attention: "I will inform the subordinate officials and ask them to summon the craftsmen to discuss the matter. Once the rebels attack the city, they will gather at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and fly the banner of Marshal Zhu to avoid war."
Wang Shiyong asked: "Have you found out clearly what other preferences Marshal Zhu has?"
Yan Qi actually said: "There is a rumor, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"Speak quickly!" Wang Shiyong said eagerly.
Yan Qi chuckled in a low voice: "It is rumored that Marshal Zhu likes wives and will not ask for any unmarried emperors. So I named Cai Chi's wife, Maode Emperor, who has given birth to a child."
Wang Shiyong's heart moved. His fourth daughter-in-law was very beautiful. She just gave birth to an heir, which was completely in line with Marshal Zhu's special hobby!
After the rebels entered the city, they sent their daughter-in-law to Marshal Zhu, which was regarded as a disguised marriage to Marshal Zhu.
This matter was so contrary to human ethics that Wang Shiyong could not tell outsiders, so he kept it firmly in his heart.
This "Grandpa the Golden Man" seems to want to be the "Grandpa Marshal".
However, Yan Qi thought that Ju Ming had improved movable type printing. He had been reading "Tao Yong Ce" these days and understood that Ju Ming valued craftsmen very much.
So, this guy personally asked the famous craftsmen in Tokyo and sent his confidants to deliver food to those craftsmen.
Now all the officials in the city are preparing for the destruction of the city. It is a basic act to tie a gauze scarf on the left arm. But just to save one's life is not enough, one has to pave the way for becoming an official in the new dynasty.
Everyone who had contact with Ju Ming, including technical officers and engraving and printing craftsmen, became the targets of officials' wooing.
The threshold of Huang Guinian's house was almost broken by visitors.
He Su, Qin Hui and Zhu Ming were of the same age, and their family was also very lively.
…
Kangguo Duke's Mansion.
Qian Jingzhen's health is not very good. He has often been bedridden in the past two years and will fall ill every winter.
In the evening, after seeing off the last guest, De Diji returned to her room happily: "Fourteen people came to visit today, and they all brought food. Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment gave three measures of rice!"
Qian Jingzhen, whose time was running out, coughed and said, "As the saying goes, if you don't give up for five buckets of rice, how can three buckets of rice make you, the emperor, so happy?"
"In the past few days, the rice purchase limit has been reduced again, and no one is giving it any face. Three buckets of rice can save your life at a critical moment," Ling Dediji said. "It is better that my son has the foresight and has a close personal relationship with Marshal Zhu. Otherwise,
Where is our family’s escape route?”
Qian Jingzhen said angrily: "I planned to marry my daughter to Zhu Chenggong, but you stopped me in every possible way before I gave up."
This made De Diji regretful: "Don't say this, it makes me heartbroken. If my daughter had married at that time, she would have been Marshal Zhu's wife, and she would have to be the queen in the future. It shouldn't have been done, it shouldn't have been done, and it shouldn't have been done at that time.
Who would have thought that a scholar could gain power?"
This princess of the Song Dynasty had already determined that the Zhu family could conquer the world, and she did not have much nostalgia for her own royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties.
Because the majestic Duke and Princess are running out of food, they can only collect rice every ten days.
The brocade clothes can still be worn, and the jade food can't even be thought of.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a knock on the door.
Ling De Diji went to open the door in person, but her son Qian Chen was standing outside.
Qian Chen immediately closed the door after entering the house and whispered: "My child has contacted Li Bangyan. He is indeed Marshal Zhu's man. On the day the city is breached, our family only needs to hide in the house to ensure that there will be no worries about military disaster."
Qian Jingzhen said: "Li Bangyan is unreliable. You have an old relationship with Marshal Zhu. When the time comes, you will have to use Marshal Zhu's name."
Qian Chen said: "The officials also knew about the scarf tied on the left arm. I heard that they were furious in the palace today and ordered all the scarves from the palace people to be confiscated."
Qian Jingzhen sneered: "What's the use of collecting scarves? You can just tear the clothes and wrap them around your arms."
Ling De Diji sighed: "Hey, why don't the rebels attack the city? If we break in as soon as possible, we can have something to eat as soon as possible. I haven't eaten meat for more than a month, and my daily meals are tasteless."
"It's good if you have food to eat. How many people can't even buy brown rice." Qian Jingzhen said with a sigh.
For this princess, not eating meat for more than a month is already a very difficult life.
The emperor in the palace was feeling even more miserable at this time and was throwing things crazily to vent his anger.
