Chapter 206 Invite the hearts of the people, cultivate your reputation, and usurp the throne!
Li Xiang's body was impeached in exchange for Yang Ting and Ji Taibao, who were given the privilege of being a public servant in the palace.
The new arrangement subsequently decided at the national policy meeting was: Wu Dinghou Guo Xun guarded Nanjing, and "handed over" the Shenji Battalion, which had been trained the longest among the three major battalions after the reset, and replaced it with just a man who had assisted Zhang Zilin in suppressing bandits on the Yangtze River.
Li Quanli, the Bo of Xiangcheng, and Qiu Luan, the Marquis of Xianning, were inferior to him.
The most important thing is that Zhang Yong started to supervise the three major battalions again!
The earl is in charge of the Shenji Camp, the marquis is in charge of Nanjing, and the Royal Horse Supervisor is in charge of the front office again.
Guo Xun's speech even just went through the court process like ordinary officials entering and leaving Beijing, and the emperor didn't say anything else.
Guo Xun left Beijing with a few servants in the first month. Later, Guo Xun, who was recommended by Guo Xun as a camp officer in the Shenji Camp, dispersed all five generals and sent them to Huguang, Jiangxi, and Nanzhi.
Li, the Dusi system in Zhejiang and other places.
The military power near the capital began to be attacked. Although everything came from the emperor's orders, the officials in the capital were even more afraid of Yang Tinghe.
The impeachment of Li Xiang instead became a case, and Wang Qiong began to investigate.
But he was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he was only supervising the investigation. The person who really investigated the case was Li Chongsi, the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, who was recommended by the New Party cadre Zhang Zilin.
There is also a very sensitive point. Fei Hong's nephew Fei Maoxian had been promoted by the emperor to be a bachelor's student in the Imperial Study Room. But as soon as this matter came out, he was sent to any prefecture in the new law base camp in Guangdong to be informed.
The power of the first living Three Dukes of the Ming Dynasty was already overwhelming.
He is not a lucky minister, but a leader of civil servants who has stood in the court for many years. Now with the new knowledge and the banner of new laws, not only the counselors, but also the emperor must be "cautious in words and deeds." All officials in the world must be selected, appointed and deposed.
His face showed that now, he had also colluded with Zhang Yong, the eunuch who was in charge of military power and palace access control.
The huge wave that Li Xiang was supposed to set off was easily suppressed.
[...I was born in the countryside of Anlu and am well aware of the sufferings of the people. Since the change of Yuan Dynasty, at the request of Yang Taibao, I ordered the Ministry of Industry to investigate the world's floods and water conservancy. Now, at the request of Yang Taibao, I will restore water conservancy and benefit the world.
Ten Thousand People.]
[All the people in the world are my subjects. How can I bear to have my subjects worry about floods and droughts? I specially paid two million taels of silver to the internal transportation treasury and ordered the National Policy Council to select fourteen members of the Supervisory Censor Fan who will inspect water conservancy.
They were sent to other provinces outside Guangdong and to North Zhili and South Zhili to inspect and reorganize water conservancy matters.]
[This is good government and national policy that benefits the people and the country! Clan relatives, distinguished relatives, officials and gentry, and the people of the world must observe the system and abide by it, and do not obstruct it due to selfish interests! It may take five or ten years to rebuild water conservancy throughout the world.
But initial results have been achieved, but the work is in the present, and the benefits will be in the future! All the fertile land in the world will be facilitated by water conservancy, then the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. I can comfort the ancestors of the Taiming Dynasty!]
【Appreciate this!】
An imperial edict was then issued, and fourteen water patrol censors rushed to various places except Guangdong.
Is it necessary to overhaul water conservancy? That is of course good governance and it should be done.
But what the imperial edict is talking about is clearly not those large-scale water conservancy projects, but just some repairs to the small irrigation rivers and ditches scattered all over the place.
To put it more clearly, the water channels that were changed by feudal princes, officials, and dignitaries in the past in order to better irrigate their fertile fields should be changed into a way that is beneficial to the people.
It was still money taken out of the emperor’s inner treasury!
"Meet Yang Ting and Tu Qiong!"
In the palace of the King of Chu in Wuchang Prefecture, Huguang, General Zhu Rongchan, the younger brother of the sixth Chu King Zhu Rong, said angrily: "When the late emperor passed away, your majesty ordered all the vassals in the world to stay in the palace and mourn for the late emperor for twenty-seven months. It seems that now it is not the case."
That’s Yang Tinghe’s intention! Brother Wang, there are frequent floods in Huguang, and the fields granted to us by the Chu vassal have failed to harvest year after year! The salary has been in arrears for a long time, and now it is difficult to even get together for weddings and funerals.”
"Please submit an advance payment of 17,000 taels of silver from the Treasurer of the Government of Huguang, and then use the salary of the vassal government to offset it. The court will not allow it. Brother Wang is also required to reprimand all the clan members of the Chu vassal. Is this really your Majesty's intention?" Zhu Rongchan
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, "If Your Majesty is so wary of the vassals, how could you adopt your young son to the late emperor and establish a vassal state in Jiangxi? Yang Ting and the old thief are now using the name of world water conservancy to harm the clan's interests to win over the people. What's next?
To usurp a high position just because of your prestige is an act of disobedience!"
Zhu Rong's 19-year-old son Zhu Xianrong also said: "Father, because of mourning, my son's wedding has been delayed! I finally managed the wedding without losing the dignity of the palace. Then next year, if Yang Tinghe becomes famous according to the new law in Guangdong,
Do we have to implement the provinces? According to the ancestral system, I, the Chu vassal, are in charge of the tax department! But in recent years, has the tax department ever handed over the income to the palace again? Father, I really can't be so weak and be bullied by him.
!”
When the first Chu king established Wuchang, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the Wuchang Prefecture Tax Department to Chu King Zhu Zhen to take charge.
Wuchang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and the tax department collects a lot of money every year from merchants, massacres, market taxes, and the purchase and sale of land and houses.
Zhu Rong has a soft personality, and now he only has a sad look on his face.
Because of the son's wedding, the Prince of Chu's Mansion boldly tried to ask for the seventeen thousand taels.
"My ancestor, King Zhao, was originally given the title of Tax Department of Wuchang Prefecture. Today, for the fifth time, I was invaded by Yousi. I begged to give him a seal and assigned him to my government as my business."
Zhang Zilin, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, naturally sternly rejected it.
Zhu Rongchan continued: "Guangdong has a special tax department, which stands side by side with the vassal department, the capital department, the punishment department, the public security department, and the capital inspection department! If the new law is implemented in Huguang, can the ancestral business of the tax department return to the palace? Brother Wang,
This Taizu has given special favor to the Chu vassal! Yang Ting and the national thieves have hijacked His Majesty first and invited the people of the world to follow. The intention of usurping the throne is obvious! Brother Wang, what should you do!"
"Father, did you forget to obey the Pan Dynasty? Before you slandered your father and kept the system, you went out of the palace and asked you to oust the Chu vassal? Fortunately, your majesty, Ming Dynasty has done something about it! This Pan Dynasty is a person sent by the Ministry of Rites!"
Zhu Xianrong was as anxious as Zhu Rongchan. He was the eldest son of the King of Chu. Zhu Rong had no legitimate son. Zhu Xianrong was now the person closest to the position of the King of Chu.
If Chu Fan is deposed, what else will he have?
After several generations, the Chu vassal has become a behemoth. There are many county kings, generals of the country, generals of the country, generals of the country, lieutenants of the country, lieutenants of the country, and lieutenants of Fengguo. There are also so many princesses and county owners.
The Lord, the Countryside Lord... If anything happens to the many clan members of the Chu clan, let the King of Chu, the clan leader of the Chu clan, come forward.
But Zhu Rong could only say: "This matter is serious, please allow me to think about it again..."
Zhu Xianrong and his uncle looked at each other with different thoughts.
On the way out of Zhu Rong's palace, Zhu Xianrong just said gloomily: "Fourth uncle, now that the late emperor's mourning period has passed, it is inconvenient for me to stay out. You can think of something to do while guarding the palace officials."
"Know!"
Zhu Rongchan didn't have any extra thoughts. It's just that now that the emperor is under control, the only people he can rely on are his relatives and clan.
There is also the old party.
If he makes a great contribution, he will at least be able to secure the outstanding salary of the Chu vassal and the Wuchang Prefecture Tax Department!
These are only the vassal kings granted during the Taizu period, and they are far away from the throne. What are Zhu Jianshen's descendants thinking at this moment?
After the news reached Chengdu Mansion, Fei Hong invited several people to his house, but he also retreated.
Then he lowered his face and said, "Did any of you have a wrong idea? What kind of stupid idea did you think of!"
"Fei Gong, how can we be moved by our thoughts? I can only say that there are many brave people in the world!"
"Impossible! All it takes is a few bullets to gradually build up momentum. Being so violent will only do bad things!" Fei Hong said with a face full of hatred, "I visited the New Party more beforehand. Such pretentiousness would only give the New Party an excuse! It's better now, through the reorganization
In the world of water conservancy, the new party will definitely find a group of people to take action!"
"This is really strange. Mr. Fei, why don't you think it was the New Party that did it?" Someone said, "Even Zhang Yong is colluding with Yang Ting and Hang. With Zhang Yong taking care of them, they can really get rid of Li Xiang, the fake
Impeached as a corpse."
"Handwriting, hour!" Fei Hong glanced at him, "Dengwen Drum is outside the palace wall, next to the Five Mansion! In front of the meeting of the Japanese and Imperial Guards, under the eyes of the imperial guards, Yang Tingheruo is so domineering, what else do he need to worry about?
"
"People's hearts! Prestige!" the man said flatly, "and it's also a test! Test His Majesty's will, test the world's reaction! Mr. Fei, this is a country that is in danger of falling. If we really let the new party use water conservancy all over the world to get things done,
, praised by all the people in the world, Yang Tinghe will be successful!"
"No matter what, we respect the teachings of the sages. Morally speaking, this is good governance! How to stop it?" Fei Hong gritted his teeth and said, "What a conspiracy! If we say that the teachings of the sages cannot be forgotten, but act without caring about the people, then what's the point?
How to refute that Praxis is a heretical theory?"
"But if the Yang Tinghe is successful, your majesty will be in danger! Fei Gong, your majesty has great hopes in ordering you to be the governor of Sichuan!" The man choked up as he spoke, "I can't bear to think of how frightened your majesty is now! King Anhua, Ning
The king's rebellion is ahead, and now everyone in the clan is in danger. Mr. Fei, the only one your Majesty can entrust to you is me, who can act as an intermediary to help support the orthodoxy!"
"...This is a serious matter." Fei Hong was silent for a while before staring at them, "In any case, if what happened to Li Xiang is really your fault, then you might as well think about how to deal with the pursuit of the Three Law Divisions first! Don't underestimate Yang Tinghe! Other matters,
Let me think about it carefully!"
After talking for a while and sending them away, Fei Hong waited quietly in the study.
After a while, the housekeeper came over and Fei Hong asked, "Has the person who entered Huangba been here?"
The housekeeper was a little surprised: "Master, do you want to eat today?"
"I'm upset and want to eat something sweet to make things better." Fei Hong nodded.
Different from later generations, Sichuan cuisine at this time and before was mainly sweet. "Sichuan Guangji" said that Shu people like to cook honey to enhance the taste. After Fei Hong came to Sichuan, he fell in love with it.
Huangba was popular in central Sichuan at this time.
Although there are many shops making rice cakes, there is one small shop that Fei Hong loves the most.
Of course, Fei Hong has been in Sichuan for more than a year, and the store is showing signs of development.
After the housekeeper went and came back, he finally brought another food box.
He placed one of the plates of yellow rice cakes sprinkled with icing sugar on the table in Fei Hong's study, made another cup of tea, and then the housekeeper left and closed the door.
Fei Hong then picked up the chopsticks with a solemn expression and opened the rice cakes one by one until he finally found a small bamboo tube inside one of them, and then found three more.
He breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this drastic change had not really affected him yet.
The person who runs that small shop is definitely not the leader of the inner factory in Sichuan, or the unknown Jin Yiwei walking in Sichuan.
Fei Hong is the leader of the old party. In this scene, apart from the secret box in the past, the only connection between him and the center of the court is this line.
But the situation must have changed now, and Fei Hong had not yet had time to go through the secret box and submit it to the emperor to ask questions. If he persists next time, maybe Yang Tinghe will be able to do the trick and there will be no return.
After the critical impeachment and the addition of Taibao, Fei Hong can hardly imagine what the situation is like now.
Fortunately, the news has come.
After blowing on the bamboo tube to cool it, he carefully opened it and took out a piece of paper filled with small words.
Every piece of paper like this is waiting for the yellow rice cake to be steamed, and then put back in again by skillful hands to restore it to its original appearance.
The methods used by the internal factory are also a bit unimaginable.
Initially, I used this method to convey some special news to Fei Hong, and I'm afraid it also meant to beat Fei Hong.
For small shops or other existences like this, what kind of network has Ming Dynasty spread out?
Fei Hong concentrated his attention and carefully recognized the small handwriting on it.
