Chapter 118: Where did the calamity begin? (Additional update 22 for Mystia, leader of the alliance)
Enough arguing?
Every word is being speculated by everyone.
They didn't know under what circumstances or in what tone these words were spoken. The only thing that was certain was that His Majesty felt that this debate should be stopped.
So the debate ended, and the ministers who participated in the national policy meeting were going to the Zhongyuan Hall to tell the emperor who they thought were the best candidates for the chief academician of the imperial study who was knowledgeable and intelligent.
There are six cabinet ministers, and Sun Jiao has not arrived yet.
Jiu Qing and Guo Xun are both here, and Yang Yiqing has already left for his post.
Yan Song could not sit down in those empty seats today, so he and Liu Long stood at one side.
Zhu Houcong has calmed down. After all, he doesn't know whether the war has started or what the situation will be.
He just saw through it a little more.
Wang Shouren, who was not able to become the chief of the imperial study but did enter here, turned his head and looked over.
Yan Song stood calmly, and it was unclear whether he cared.
As for the honorable ministers and generals who were rewarded for following Zhu Houzhao southward, they will all get their rewards back.
"The man-eating red-haired ghost!"
Fifteen pieces of paper were collected, and Huang Jin quickly finished counting them and handed them to Zhu Houcong.
It turns out that what he left for Wang Shouren was not the chief's chair in the royal study, but half of Yang Yiqing's chair?
Because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to the rank of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War. Although he did not go to the Ministry of War to perform his duties, he was only half a step away from the rank of Jiuqing.
Eunuchs assigned to local areas are generally divided into four categories.
Yan Song's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, but Yang Tinghe couldn't help but change his expression.
"The distinction between Jing and Wei is clear." Zhu Houcong put the paper on the imperial case, "Except for Yan Song and Yang Shen, no one has been recommended by more than seven people."
When these words came out, Zhang Nian, Wang Ziyan, and Guangdong Zuo Buzheng Tang Muyan all fell silent.
After all kinds of calculations, how can one fully know where the calamity started?
Gravels, rotten vegetable leaves flew everywhere for a while, and Pillai looked at the Eastern barbarians who were also gnashing their teeth and throwing debris at them in confusion and anger.
Before they arrived, a ship slowly arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River, which appeared to be normal.
…
Tang Muyan nodded solemnly: "That's how it should be."
The emperor's ears and eyes are all within his reach.
The fourth category is to supervise production in some mines, shipyards, military factories, manufacturing bureaus and other places.
Cui Yuan reminded him that he was feeling more and more deeply now. The emperor was only suitable for people with skill and ambition.
Lingqu, which connects the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, is an important thoroughfare for transportation between the north and the south.
"Don't be tired of traveling and traveling, so walk slowly." Liang Chu remembered the leisure badge he had obtained again, and said slowly, "There is no need to be in a hurry, and there is no need to be in a hurry."
The second category is the eunuchs who are dispatched to the army to supervise the army. They are usually dispatched by the Royal Horse Supervisor.
In the end what happened?
Soon he had no time to think about this anymore, because the gravel was lethal.
"Liu Long moved to the Hanlin Academy to accept the decree, Yang Shen and Wang Shouren were appointed as accompanying readers in the imperial study, Yan Song was the chief, and the rest were assigned to the imperial study to wait for orders."
He failed to become the chief of the imperial study, but after all he entered the imperial study and stayed with the emperor at all times.
The whistle stick majestically hit the shoulders and arms of the people in front of them, and then they proudly went to inspect the Yamen with their great achievements.
But Zhu Houcong said: "When Yang Yiqing participates in the national policy meeting, he has to take charge of the three parties. He also needs a knowledgeable military and civil servant who can often participate in military and state affairs. Wang Shouren holds the title of left minister of the Ministry of War, and uses the imperial study room to accompany him to read the national policy meeting and participate in the national policy meeting.
When the important ministers of the border town are unable to attend, they will take the responsibility for the time being."
Not being dismissed from office upon impeachment, and not being held accountable without evidence, is just one more privilege than ordinary courtiers, and it does not mean that one can sit back and relax.
"Your Majesty the Governor, Your Majesty Zhetai, the lower officials are going to be unable to restrain themselves!" Xiong Fang, an inspector from the Inspection Department of the Guangzhou Prefecture, looked anxious. "Dongguan County has a strong influence on the people, so we can't arrest them all and put them in jail, right? Once they are provoked,
Civil uprising, what will happen?"
"Don't lose it! Damn it!" the officer from the Inspection Department shouted angrily, protecting his head and face, "This is an imperial prisoner! How can he be escorted to Beijing if he's beaten to death? Get out of the way, I've beaten him!"
"The ministers are ministers who participate in national policy. There is no need to overgeneralize, nor can they destroy without establishing." Zhu Houcong calmly grasped the rhythm, "Many ministers from various places have been impeached, as have local officials and governors.
Quite a few. The direction of discussion among the ministers should be how to strengthen local supervision without overly restricting the talents of key officials on both military and political lines."
"After that Ambassador Franji left Nanjing, he didn't know whether he would go by land or water. I have to remind you again at each pass! We also need to send more manpower to patrol the Haiphong Road." Now it was the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Zhen, who scolded Wang Ziyan,
"There are not enough sentry ships, so I will transfer them. Wang Hong's subordinates, you must suppress them!"
"The fleet is small and Wang Hong's crime of underestimating the enemy is unforgivable." The prince said coldly, "I will reorganize the officers and soldiers myself and lead the expedition myself. However, the warships were damaged a lot, and Guangxi's troops could not be adjusted quickly.
Build warships, send out a large army, establish a vassal state, and prepare food and wages. This is your Majesty’s first decree directly sent to Guangdong and Guangdong. Wang Hung harms the country, and we must not cause you any more worries!"
After asking, he went to the governor's Yamen.
"The next topic is the imperial brother's mausoleum and the rituals for the ceremony, and the rituals for the posthumous title of Lord Zhongwu."
Yang Tinghe and others were stunned.
"Come here! Come here! We've found an intruder! Go and report it to the inspector and Mr. Taitai. Brothers, this is a great achievement. Hurry and surround us!"
Yang Tinghe immediately said: "I am ashamed to be listed in the Taige Pavilion. Quanzi can no longer hold the important position in the imperial study. I ask your Majesty to choose another worthy person."
After Xiong Fang was driven away, the remaining big guys continued to discuss things with great concern.
Everyone has a pen and paper in front of them. Just write down the three bachelors who study in the Royal Study Room in your heart.
There is no room for further discussion here.
The civil servants would be willing to send him a count to serve as a distinguished minister and military general; how could he get a chair in the national policy meeting by only describing his merits in the civil service hierarchy?
But now it's happened.
The emperor had no intention of valuing him because of his knowledge.
It's not the end. Everyone knows that the people on these eighteen chairs are just the beginning.
Therefore, the important ministers obviously felt that the emperor's eyes were more indifferent.
If you think about it carefully, from the handling after the Sutra banquet to the suspension of today's sutra debate, and listening to the sages' teachings just now, the selection system does not necessarily have the effect of selecting officials with both ability and political integrity. The emperor really does not value the so-called knowledge.
.
Zhang Boring, the stone treasure changed color slightly.
Genuine fourth product, two.
"Marquis Funing." His translator sighed, "But noble Baron, if you want to continue to find someone in Guangzhou that your Majesty and the court trust, then there is the General Town of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangdong, the Governor of Guangdong, and
The chief envoy has sent..."
Pillaizi didn't realize at first that it was directed at them, and he couldn't quite understand the rapid shouting with an accent.
Liang Chu's ship has already entered the Xiangjiang River and will reach Lingnan after passing through Lingqu.
"...Your Excellency, Your Excellency Baron, is not qualified for trading, but qualified for paying tribute. Also, you can no longer call me Lord Jiang. He has been executed for his crimes..."
Because those who advocate the removal of foreign ministers want to leave more space for civil servants. Who wants to have more supervisory systems?
It’s not easy to blatantly say that this is done to suppress the imperial power.
No one in the capital knew about the naval battle at the mouth of the Pearl River. Xinxue finally entered the palace and came to the emperor's side. The descendants of the Yu family were arriving in Beijing to attend Yu Qian's posthumous ceremony. The last cabinet minister, Sun Jiaozheng, was coming to Beijing with the emperor's mother and sisters.
.
"So, we must follow the complicated etiquette you mentioned in order to get the emperor's approval through this department called the Ministry of Etiquette and obtain the qualifications for the transaction?" Pillaizi frowned, "There is no one like Mr. Jiang around the new emperor.
Can your nobles make this matter faster? I am His Majesty’s special envoy!”
Only then did he realize that in the past, he could often see foreigners at the docks of Guangzhou City, but now he could not see any of his own people, not even the barbarians from the Spice Islands.
"Does the imperial court have its own authority to deal with Wang Hong? The defeat of Tuen Mun is a fact. The imperial court will provide compensation for the fallen soldiers. How do you do it? Can't you explain it clearly to those unruly people?" Wang Ziyan, the inspector general of Guangdong, said with a serious face, "
Don’t report this little thing, just handle it yourself!”
Like Luo An and Lu Song, today's Zhang Bor and Shi Bao, who followed Zhu Houcong from Prince Xing's Mansion, were originally deputy guards of the Prince's Mansion, but now they have the official position of Jin Yiwei commanding the general affairs due to their merits in Conglong.
Half a day later, the Guangzhou Prefecture's Prosecution and Prosecution Department had another urgent report and rushed north. At the same time, a large group of people headed straight to Dongguan Haiphong Road with murderous intent, and another fast horse headed straight to Wuzhou.
The first category is the garrison eunuchs at least at the provincial level, usually dispatched by the Secretary of Ceremonies.
Wang Shouren sat between Guo Xun and Yan Song. Yang Shen, the only remaining companion in the imperial study, was dumbfounded.
"I remember you said that after we left Guangzhou, a new noble came here. What is his name?"
But then, rockets and sentinel boats surrounded their "envoy" civilian ship, and patrol officers holding various crude and cold weapons crowded over in fear and excitement.
Mao Ji spoke eloquently and believed that meritorious deeds should be ennobled. He planned to ennoble him as Xinjian Bo, Shi Yun, Fei Hong, Zhang Zilin, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the General Secretary all thought so, but Wang Qiong and others were silent.
Coupled with his status as the imperial study companion, Wang Shouren... has this qualification.
First, the army that went south for personal expedition worked hard but without success, and was only given a small amount of reward money. Under the background of the current situation of arbitrary abolition and the re-establishment of three major battalions through recruitment, both Jiang Mian and Wang Xian believed that they could suppress the situation.
"Who is so bold?" Shi Bao couldn't help but ask.
This is not a dispute between psychology and Neo-Confucianism. Do we want to deny the efficacy of Confucianism?
"I am the special envoy of the great King Manuel I of Portugal. What are you rude barbarians doing? I want to see your diplomats!"
"Are you comfortable sitting on this chair in the imperial study?" Zhu Houcong looked at them, "Is it because Xinxue has completely failed, and those who want to recommend Wang Shouren will not write his name? Or is Wang Shouren winning, facing the crowd of passionate warriors?
I won’t use him when others are talking about him, so you expect him to retreat when faced with difficulties?”
Guo Xun cannot speak for these people. Recently, he is still pursuing the group of people who killed good people and took credit for the Tang Majiu Rebellion.
"Lord Nedai, Lord Nedai!"
Finally, it is the real meritorious officials led by Wang Shouren, the credit of the generals. The rewards for the soldiers have actually been discussed for a long time, mainly about how the local civil and military officials or Wang Shouren should be rewarded for their contributions.
But Liang Chu could only be the riddler first: "Water bandits and mountain bandits will naturally become bolder. But don't worry, commanders, I have been delaying in the capital for so long. The healthy servants at home should have crossed the Ling Canal to join us."
Today he entered the imperial study room. One of his colleagues was Yang Tinghe's student and the other was his son. The role of this target was not over yet.
Pillaizi listened to this information attentively, and then said: "After docking, you first go to Tuen Mun Island and tell General Andrade that I have returned."
Yang Tinghe suddenly focused his eyes and looked at the emperor worriedly.
There was no special expression on the emperor's face.
At this moment, Liang Chu was sitting in the cabin and smiled at Zhang Bor and Shi Bao and said: "In the past, when I was in the dormitory, I didn't have the opportunity to see this Dongting scenery, right?"
After saying that, he bowed to the two of them and said, "Although your appearance is well known in the capital and there are not many people in official positions, people who are interested will definitely notice it. This journey cannot be said to be peaceful. My safety is not a big concern, your majesty is worried about it."
Seriously, I have to ask you two to be more vigilant."
Fu Lun, the eunuch of Guangdong and Guangxi in the main town, suddenly said: "A few days ago, under the command of the supervisory army that supervises Tengxia's troublemaking in Guangxi, two hundred households and four Jinyiwei banner schools went to Guangdong on official business."
To send a high-ranking minister back to his hometown, is it necessary to have two such high-quality imperial guards?
Zhang Bor asked respectfully: "Mr. Liang, why can't you tell me about the mission of Mr. and Shi Bao when we get here?"
"From the Song Dynasty to today, we have debated for hundreds of years, and our inner learning has not died." Zhu Houcong did not look at anyone, but just said, "Don't get the purpose wrong. Write three names for each person, Huang Jin, collect them.
statistics."
As soon as their ship docked at the dock, when they saw Pillaizi and others appearing on the deck, a gong whistle sounded.
After hearing the news, the eunuchs of Guangdong and Guangxi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the general military officer in the main town of Wuzhou also rushed to the capital in a panic. At the same time, the three giants of Guangdong and Guangxi all rushed to Guangzhou.
The temporary center of the court was decided on this.
The people sitting here are all smart people, so Zhu Houcong looked coldly at many people and criticized the internal ministers who were sent abroad for not following the laws of the country and being incompetent but ruining state affairs by gesticulating. He asked directly: "The main purpose of sending internal ministers abroad is
, is to set up another supervisor in addition to the governors and censors in various places. The governors and governors dispatched by the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all Jinshi. If they do not abide by the national laws and live up to my expectations, will they only be punished for their crimes, or will they be regarded as sages?
Teaching and selection of officials cannot achieve the goal of having both ability and political integrity?"
He entered the capital with the success of quelling the rebellion. At this moment, does any other civil servant in the court dare to stand up and say that he knows more about military affairs than Wang Shouren?
…
Zhang Boring Shibao was thoughtful, and then asked: "Don't you need to rush on your way?"
First he went to the Sutra Banquet and was awarded the Bachelor of Lectureship, and then he debated scriptures in the name of selecting the imperial study companion to read. Now he only has the false title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, and sitting in this chair is just because of the imperial study companion.
As Yang Yiqing, I temporarily took the seat.
Liu Long breathed a sigh of relief: Maybe he can get away, but he should go to study history and feel comfortable.
So the discussion could not continue.
The issue of ministers was mentioned in the imperial edict, and now Zhu Houcong took it out for them to discuss.
Yan Song felt a shiver in his heart. He knelt down to thank him and then took his seat as the chief of the royal study room.
For the first time, Zhang Bor Shibao truly recognized this loser who became an official in the court struggle.
How can anyone achieve the position of a minister?
At this moment, the urgent military intelligence report from Dongguan County has been relayed quickly.
Liang Chu let out a long sigh and looked at the two old ministers who wanted to make meritorious deeds. His eyes moved to the Dongting waves: "Your Majesty has a lot of things in his mind. If you ask me, I don't know. I'm afraid that when you get to Guangzhou, there will be imperial envoys to dispatch you.
."
"Then the old rules are that we will think about it carefully after we go back, and we will discuss it after we come up with a strategy within a month." Zhu Houcong raised the issue first and then continued, "Now that Wang Shouren has arrived in Beijing, the chaos in Chenhao will be discussed.
Gong, let’s discuss the results today.”
A whistle stick hit him hard in the stomach, and Pilaizi almost vomited.
Just listen to the first sentence of that sentence. Your Majesty asked them if they feel comfortable sitting in the chair, so they can't sit down first.
"Folks, we have captured a few red-haired ghosts. This is the leader of the red-haired ghosts, the criminal whom His Majesty decreed to arrest. Give way... Hey! What bastard did you throw at me?"
The strange thing is that the inspector was not sitting in the hall.
Liu Long thanked him and left feeling relieved: after staying with the emperor for two months, he was directly promoted to the third rank of the Hanlin Academy, and he was only one step away from becoming the head of the academy.
"We don't avoid relatives when promoting talents, and we are not the chief. What are we worried about?" Zhu Houcong said this without any fluctuations in his tone. "Yan Song, take a seat. Today we will discuss the matter of sending ministers to foreign countries, including eunuchs from various places and admirals from various government offices.
and overseeing the troops in each camp."
"...I am ashamed to have such faith in Your Majesty."
So he knelt down in a circle in the Central Round Hall.
Soon after, the two newly-appointed imperial study companions and daily commentators entered the Zhongyuan Hall.
Liang Chu looked to the north: "I'm afraid that the chief of the imperial study has been decided, and my old friends will eventually realize that this matter is unusual. The second half of this journey will not be easy."
The third category is those related to taxation and banking, such as the Municipal Shipping Department and the Salt Division. This category is called the tax supervisor.
Of course, it was of great significance to the emperor. Therefore, even though many civil servants in the past dynasties denounced the harm caused by sending eunuchs abroad, the emperor rarely abandoned this method.
But now he still has to talk about his merits, how does Your Majesty want to manipulate him?
With Wang Xian as the main speaker, the plan for Xu Gong in the Chenhao Rebellion began to be presented.
Now, should he be invited out to take up a different position? Can he appear at this national policy meeting?
They suddenly discovered that the emperor might not really be prepared to reuse him, but just kept him in the capital and used him at any time to tease the important officials of Neo-Confucianism?
Xiong Fang, who had just been driven away, came in again. Wang Ziyan was about to get angry when he saw him saying with joy: "The leader of the bandit Franji, the ambassador has caught him!"
Everyone in the room looked happy: "Where is it?"
Although the war was lost, at least it was not without merit.
"Immediately go to the police and tell them that they found it by searching the city! They were tortured and forced to question the status of the camp on Tuen Mun Island!"
The memorial for the defeat in Tuen Mun has been published. Besides, it cannot be said that they were captured in battle. Isn't that Wang Hong's contribution?
The next battle will be a complete victory!
