Three hundred and ninetieth eight chapters eager to see Mingdu
"Don't stick to the popular customs, don't stick to the left and right; be far-sighted and independent." [Shuoyuan·Jundao]
Yi Chuan, Jiang Zuo, Du Shui, and Zhi Lu were all institutions that the emperor followed the Ministry of Punishment's example and obeyed the unified coordination arrangements of the Ministry of Works. As for determining the true affiliation, we had to wait for a new round of restructuring in the future. In the emperor's opinion
, the Shangshutai will gradually break away from the nature of a decision-making agency and transform into an administrative agency in another sense.
When governing the people in the outer dynasty, the ministers are in charge of specific and professional government affairs. For example, the chief minister is in charge of finance and agriculture, and the young minister is in charge of mountains and rivers, industry and commerce. In the governance of the inner dynasty, the ministers are responsible for managing and supervising the officials of the outer dynasty.
, such as the Ministry of Personnel’s assessment of all officials, and the Ministry of Punishment’s supervision of judicial officials from foreign countries.
This is similar to the relationship between the official government departments and the appointed departments in later generations. In the future, the Shangshutai will ensure the supervision of the emperor's governance consciousness and the implementation of major policies in all aspects and departments. As for the original decision-making power and secretarial responsibilities of the Shangshutai
, the emperor had begun to transfer it to the Chengming Hall and the Secretariat. Without decision-making power, although the Shangshutai still dominated the inner dynasty over the outer dynasty, it had gradually deviated from its central position in the imperial court.
"The affairs of the Ministry of Rites are not urgent. At present, I only let Yang Gong, Huan Gong and Cai Gong write the book first and compile the outline of the few volumes I have designated. It will not be too late to clarify the rights and responsibilities at that time." The emperor gave Xun You a meal.
As a reassurance, he said with a clear attitude: "As for the Ministry of War, I have already made a decision in my mind. It will be settled in these days and cannot be postponed to next year."
Xun You nodded lightly, and when he heard about the destination of today's incognito trip, his heart suddenly became clear, but there was no change in his expression. He said calmly: "Your Majesty has been thinking deeply, and I am anxious."
The emperor waved his hands indifferently and said magnanimously: "You are worried about the king, so it would be wrong to be too impatient. No one is perfect. If I really didn't think about the pass here, and you are afraid to say anything, the government affairs
Isn’t it idle?”
Xun You only said so.
The emperor and others rode on horseback on the river embankment. His horse was galloping, followed closely by, in addition to Xun You, Lai Min and other courtiers, there were more than a hundred servants. The servants had all passed through thousands of times.
Choose from thousands of people, the Yulin in front of the palace, the most elite figures among the tigers and soldiers. Under their light clothes are full of weapons supported by strong bodies. They have strong armor and sharp soldiers, with bows and bags full. They are strong and vigorous on horseback, casually
One of them can serve independently in the army.
Such a small but extremely elite group of cavalry surrounded the emperor, half for fun and half for driving, and the team meandered southward.
The emperor stopped and walked, and after seeing enough of the willows, he dismounted and asked the old farmers in the fields. He learned about the harvest situation this year, the distribution and use of new farm tools, and whether the edict to supervise and encourage farmers to grow mulberry trees was implemented. He asked random questions one after another.
After interviewing several farmers working in the fields and receiving a satisfactory answer, the emperor got back on his horse and said to Xun You and others: "If the supervisors in various places can persuade farmers and mulberry trees to be as effective as the Beijing omen, all the warehouses in the world will be like this."
It’s time to be rich.”
Although Jingzhao Yin Hu Miao's character was not praised by the scholars and he was closely attached to Dong Cheng, his ability to govern the people was extraordinary. So Lai Min pursed his lips tightly and refused to accept the emperor's words no matter what, so he persuaded Jingzhao
By praising farmers for their political achievements, isn’t this just helping Dong Cheng’s face?
Lai Min and others did not want to say anything, but they had to have someone answer the question. Xun You lowered his eyes and thought, and said lightly: "It is the duty of the county governor to govern the herdsmen. If you do a good job, not only with merit, but also with merit."
Those who do not do well will be punished. Your Majesty has eliminated officials and paid attention to farming and mulberry farming in recent years, which has been quite effective. How can any local or county today not serve diligently?"
"That's the truth." Seeing that Xun You put the credit on his own head and dismissed Hu Miao's achievements lightly, the emperor didn't think it was strange and nodded.
He called Zhou Yu, the consort who was accompanying him, and asked, "How long does it take to get to Mingduyuan?"
Mingduyuan is located on the south side of Balingyuan. The slope is gentle and open. The Chan River flowing slowly through this place is clear and shallow. There are tributary ponds such as Changshui and Xuanqu in its upper reaches. This place was the Changshui school hundreds of years ago.
After several changes, the emperor moved the Changshui camp back to the place where troops were stationed.
It was near late autumn, and the Sixth Army of the Northern Army was conducting a small-scale military exercise under the command of Lieutenant Gao Shun. This military exercise was also called "Autumn Exercise" by the emperor. It was conducted every year by the Northern and Southern Army.
The drill was limited to the Northern Army. Apart from sending a group of people to visit and supervise, the emperor did not personally visit. However, for such a big matter, how could the emperor not personally visit?
"Mingduyuan?" Zhou Yu was not from Guanzhong. He had only been in the imperial court for a short time and was not familiar with the geography of Guanzhong. What's more, the place the emperor mentioned was not originally called this name. This place was originally desolate and uninhabited.
Changshuiying settled again and gradually regained its popularity. Later, it was said that a team of scouts went out for inspection and discovered a spring. When the spring erupted, it was like a calf bleating, which was a miracle, so it was changed to Mingduyuan.
This new place name may not even be familiar to people living in the local area, let alone Zhou Yu. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "Going south from here, you can get there in less than two minutes."
After that, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, wearing a white dragon fish costume, is not appropriate to visit the military camp and other dangerous places. Why not wait for the arrival of the emperor in Chang'an City, and then come in the emperor's attire? If you want to visit the north
How the army conducts drills in private, whether the soldiers are equipped to deal with it, and what kind of work it is. I am here personally, and I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
In fact, Zhou Yu did not need to remind him that the emperor was always concerned about his safety when traveling, but he believed in the character of Gao Shun, Pang De and others. After all, these were the backbones of the army he single-handedly promoted, and they had been tested by history.
A loyal minister and good general. This time he said he was risking an unexpected incident and visited the military camp incognito. In fact, there was not much risk for the emperor. It was just that everything had to be prepared for "just in case". The emperor also knew this very well.
, he had already asked the emperor's guard of honor to follow him out of the city, pretending to go to Shanglin Garden, but in fact he turned around after leaving the south gate, heading towards the same destination as the emperor.
"Calculating the distance, how long does it take for Lu Bu to reach Mingduyuan?" the emperor asked.
Xun You mentally calculated Lu Bu's speed and replied aloud: "If there is no accident on the road, there will still be more than half an hour."
"When you set out on a journey, you always like to do whatever you can to give and travel for a long time! It was the same last time in Hedong. The anxious war had to be postponed until the end, and an army had to be sent to quell the rebellion. This way the opportunity was not wasted! If you want to leave Kanto in the future,
Wearing this guard of honor, are we going to do the same thing again? What does this sound like? Did Emperor Shizu ever put on these postures when he conquered the world?" The emperor suddenly lost his good temper and said dissatisfied: "Let someone ride on a fast horse.
Look, he must arrive within half an hour, otherwise he will have to walk back to Chang'an!"
Xun You calmly agreed, knowing that the emperor was deliberately making use of the topic, so he didn't say much, and was preparing to arrange for people to rush there. Guanqiu Xing, the assistant minister of Huangmen, knew that this was an opportunity to show off, so he immediately offered himself up. The emperor looked at him, and then looked at him, and he was still sick.
Xianyan's Fa Zheng waved his hand in approval.
"Let's go to Mingduyuan and see what Gao Shun and the others are practicing." When the emperor saw Guanqiu excitedly riding away, he looked around and saw that these carefully selected palaces were either named in history books or were in the unknown palace.
In the former Yulin, the tiger warriors slowly warned: "If you practice well, you have to learn from it; if you practice poorly, you also have to reflect on yourself!"
