When Qiu Yue followed Ma Guojiu to Mongolia to have a relationship, his life and death friends were facing a very severe test.
He is not the ambitious and talented King of Anhua Zhu Zhixiu, because Yang Yiqing is still under the trilateral system (Note 1). As long as Yang conspired to stay with the three sides for a day, it would give Zhu Zhixiu a hundred courage to make the situation in Ningxia chaotic again. Ten times, he wouldn't dare to have any objection.
Yang Yiqing's prestige was gained through bloody battles. Yang Yiqing's heart is as deep as the ocean. Even Boss Liu dares to deal with Yang Yiqing. Who else can't deal with him?
From this point, it can be seen that King Anhua was very self-aware. In the official history, he was able to seize the opportunity when Yang Yiqing was killed by Liu Jin and take advantage of the Ningxia rebellion, which is considered a talent.
It is a pity that there were too many geniuses in the Zhengde Dynasty, and King Anhua, as a talented man, was destined to be a tragedy.
But the person who was more tragic than him was a scholar, and he was also a scholar who was admitted to the scholar's examination. It stands to reason that in the Ming Dynasty, being admitted to the scholar's examination was equivalent to the state arranging the distribution and giving a starving person who could not eat enough. An iron rice bowl. This scholar named Zhao Hao was the first to follow this path. He did his homework honestly every day, prepared for the examination, and never committed any crimes.
If there were a selection of good Ming men, he would definitely be among the top ten.
why?
It's very simple. This man is not only a scholar, but also very handsome. He married a wife who has an excellent figure, unparalleled appearance, and is the envy of others. If these are not enough to make people envious and jealous, then you might as well add Look at his figure. According to historical records, "He is so strong and strong that he can kill two thieves with his hands!"
What is the concept of being able to kill two armed thieves with bare hands? Therefore, if he has knowledge, looks, strength, and a beautiful wife, if these are not enough to be considered a good man, who else can be? ?
Scholars in the Ming Dynasty were actually students who passed the college examination and obtained admission qualifications. They were exempted from corvee service, did not kneel before the magistrate, were not allowed to be tortured at will, and were given preferential treatment such as living allowances. During the Zhengde period, there were more than 35,000 students in the country. name.
As one of these more than 30,000 senior intellectuals, Zhao Hao should have passed continuous examinations and eventually became a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and was regarded as an idol to be worshiped by later generations of scholars.
It's a pity that he can stay in history because of his promising career as "the leader of thieves", and the person who defeated him was Qiu Yue, who was currently sent by Zhu Shou to Mongolia.
However, in the history after being changed by Zhu Shou, because the brothers Liu Liu and Liu Qi had been sold by Zhang Zhong to Admiral Chen Jing and Chen, they became the scapegoats for Wang Qinian's pacification of Hejian Mansion, so they dragged the Zhao family to the sea. They became a small group of unknown Jingwei garrison troops.
As mentioned in the previous article, Beifeng Zhang dug a hole and threw the heroes of Wen'an County, such as Zhang Mao, Liu Liu, Liu Qi, Qi Yanming, Li Long, Yang Hu and others, to Wang Qinian and Han Bangqi. , so that they could use the name of killing bandits from time to time to eliminate dissidents and go to Baoding and Hejian for Zhu Shou to pacify the major forces around the two prefectures.
The otaku emperor played a very big game of chess, but he didn't play it cleverly. Without Zhang Butcher, the thieves couldn't eat the mixed pigs?
History has long told future generations that times make heroes, not heroes. The corruption of the Ming Dynasty's guard system made the Jingwei garrison a chronic disease that is difficult to cure. The slightest disturbance will immediately turn into a prairie fire!
The one who sparked this spark was none other than Boss Liu Jin.
After receiving the documents sent back by Zhu Shou from Yingzhou, Mr. Liu didn't even bother to eat dinner. He summoned countless elites under his banner overnight, and also invited Li Viper and a group of big guys to deal with this, which made Master Yang "run into the palace."
"Documents should be carefully discussed.
Ge Lao Jiao Fang first expressed his denial: "No!"
Zhang Cai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, also expressed his denial: "No!"...
Liu Ji, the Minister of Household Affairs, Shi Wenyi, the commander of Jinyiweidu, and other Liu clan leaders all said: "We must not do it!"
When Boss Liu saw that all the heroes in the tent were objecting in unison, he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
After receiving the documents, he used the free time of waiting for others to analyze all the information in his hands, and unexpectedly discovered that Juntun Juntian was actually a place where political achievements were first made!
Yes, since the founding of the Zu Dynasty, no one has ever touched it. There is such a huge contribution in it. He only needs to move his fingers a little and make a few achievements, and he can leave his name in history and be famous forever. Maybe it will be remembered in future generations.
Put him on par with the Three Treasures Eunuch and others, no, even far higher than the Three Treasures Eunuch!
He has this ability and the means!
What a eunuch, especially an old eunuch, needs most, besides money, is reputation. Reputation is pulling Mr. Liu step by step towards the abyss, because beside him sits Li Viper.
None of the big men in the Liu family dared to answer Boss Liu's question, because everyone understood that whether they were choosing to go against the general trend of the world, or choosing to go against Boss Liu, both options were dead ends!
Everyone is waiting to see who is the fellow Taoist who dies first.
Li Dongyang smiled and said: "What Eunuch Liu said is great! It will make great contributions to the world, great achievements to the country, benefit the present generation, and its achievements will last forever!"
Boss Liu was wary: "What did I say?"
Li Dongyang pointed at the document sent back by Zhu Shou and said with a smile: "Everyone says that this plan is not feasible. Isn't it what Eunuch Liu meant? I also think this plan is difficult to implement. If Eunuch Liu agrees, we can work together to return this plan.
."
Boss Liu replied in a deep voice: "This is what the Holy One said. We are just an old slave. How can we make such judgments easily?"
When Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai and others heard Boss Liu's tone softened, they couldn't help but feel anxious: Li Viper is obviously digging a hole!
Whatever Li Dongyang objects to, Boss Liu will usually support it. This is one of the common practices of the Zhengde Dynasty. Of course, if Liu Jin supports it, Li Viper will support it even more. This is also the common practice of the Zhengde Dynasty in the past year.
Li Dongyang's appeasement policy worked wonders at this time!
"Your Majesty," Jiao Gang said loudly, "this strategy is absolutely impossible, it is the way to create chaos!"
This is the first dead Taoist friend to jump out! All the Liu family leaders immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Only Jiao Fang is qualified to be the first person.
Sure enough, Boss Liu's tone was extremely unkind: "Where does the chaos come from?"
Although Jiao Fang has the courage of a gangster to fight with a kitchen knife in the court, she does not have the courage of a sage to fight with the world. If Wang Shouren were Liu Dang, he would definitely shout angrily: "How dare you dance on the edge of the fire pit of millions of military households?"
It's a pity that Jiao Fang is not Wang Shouren, and neither is Zhang Cai. Both of them are speechless, and the other Liu family bosses are even more afraid to speak out.
To understand why they dare not speak, we must understand what the military household system of the Ming Dynasty was.
Chong Bage regarded the whole of China as a large rural area and established countless rules and regulations. With his rare exuberance, he managed the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner. The military household system was one of the basic systems.
To put it simply, the military household system means that if I am a soldier, my son must also be a soldier. From generation to generation, it cannot be changed!
One advantage of being a military household is that the court gives them land and allows them to support themselves. When there is a war, they become soldiers. If there is no war to fight, they just become farmers.
In integrating troops among the people, Chong Bago is a master of calculations.
It's a pity that even if we look through the Twenty-Four Histories, we can't find many talented emperors like Chong Bage. So more than a hundred years after his death, successive emperors made these systems more and more disgraceful.
By the Zhengde Dynasty, the population of the Celestial Dynasty was increasing, but the land did not increase, but became less and less...
Those occupied by landlords, robbed by princes, and seized by high-ranking military officers. If these examples were cited, the number of words would be more than that of the Twenty-Four Histories. Every word is filled with blood and tears. Those who hear it feel sad and those who speak it shed tears.
Without the necessary land, the military household system cannot be maintained.
What should military households do if they cannot support themselves?
It's very simple. When there is a war, you are a soldier. When there is no war to fight, you can become a bandit or bandit, which is a promising career.
In the official history, the main forces of the bandits in Hebei, the military rebellion in Ningxia, and the civil rebellion in Henan were all the guardsmen who had no or little land. The soldiers used to suppress them were also guardsmen! This was a major feature of the Zhengde Dynasty.
Wonderful scene.
It is actually not difficult to solve this problem. If you have the courage to challenge the entire ruling class of the Celestial Dynasty, it can only be done with one sentence: "Behead all the people who occupy an area of more than 100 acres!"
Does anyone dare to say this?
Of course not. This huge vested interest group is a hundred times more powerful than the civil service group. Who dares to say bad things about them?
Boss Liu is not a fool. He actually does not want to touch the bottom line of this group, because he is also in this group. How can he slap himself?
Political achievements, everything is for political achievements. Boss Liu just wants to carry out a political achievement project that makes big noise but little rain. He can gain enough reputation by doing something on the sidelines, and then walk away calmly and elegantly without taking away any clouds.
As for those innocent military households, Boss Liu is too lazy to really care about them. The common people have always been used to be taken advantage of.
His thoughts are all understood by the Liu family leaders, as well as by Li Dongyang and other civil servants. Therefore, the core of the dispute between this group of people is not the implementation details, but the issue of whether or not to deal with the borderline issue.
Boss Liu was confident that he could play this side game and obtain the political achievements of the famous eunuch Sanbao. He stood at the pinnacle of power in the Ming Dynasty. The infinite scenery had confused his mind and made him completely unable to see the potential dangers.
But Li Dongyang, Jiao Fang and others understood that even if they missed the ball by the fire pit, it would still end in destruction.
Although Zhu Shou is the initiator, don't think that Zhu Shou will endorse Liu Jin when the time comes, because he is the emperor!
The one who was thrown out as a scapegoat must be Boss Liu, the emperor who was beneath one person and above ten thousand people.
The standing emperor is ultimately a ridiculous fake emperor.
When Mr. Liu saw that everyone was strongly opposed to it, he became more courageous to go his own way: Even if there are thousands of people, I will go!
Just like in official history, Liu Jin always makes the lowest fatal mistakes in the places where he should least make mistakes.
And Li Dongyang pretended to be forced to "submit" to Boss Liu's wishes again.
The next day, the decree jointly drawn up by the two people was divided into two copies, one was sent to Zhu Shou who was playing with a girl in Shanxi, and the other was sent to Hejian Mansion.
The content inside is: A trial inspection of military household land in Hejian Prefecture.
The first reaction of the prefect Wang Qinian after receiving the imperial edict was: Have all the big shots in the court collectively lost their minds?
The second reaction was: Damn it, Lao Wang’s opportunity has come again!
Note 1: At this point, I would like to say one more thing: Wiki's chronology of the Trilateral System is partly wrong. Friends who are interested can refer to the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "Manuscript of the History of the Qing Dynasty". As for Du Niang, feel free to do so.
Just poke around. Some of the historical content above are more nonsense than novels, such as Wang Qinian.
