Time flies and 7 days have passed.
Ever since Zhu Dingguo took over Su Polu, he still lived a life of two o'clock and one line of work in the court and the military camp.
On this day, after going to court, Huang Jin finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked a group of ministers to stop Zhu Dingguo who was about to leave the palace.
"Sir Zhu, the imperial court is about to wipe out the slaves. I wonder how you will deal with this rebellious Su Polu?"
"Rebellion, who did you listen to? The investigation results of the imperial court are not over yet. How can you say such things about the generals of the imperial court? What are you thinking about? Could it be that you took the money to build slaves and wanted to be a grandson?"
Faced with Zhu Dingguo's rhetorical question, Huang Jin was speechless for a moment.
Who is Sun Degong? A bitch traitor. A beast who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and was finally betrayed by his own master, and ended up being cut into pieces.
Huang Jin didn't expect that he would be so insulted by Zhu Dingguo when he was clearly doing it for the Ming Dynasty.
“Do you know who is Ming’s main enemy now?
It's a Jiannu!
The slaves did all kinds of evil. The millions of Liao people who were murdered by the slaves in Liaodong and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are all looking at Your Majesty in the sky.
Not to mention that Su Polu didn't rebel, even if he rebelled, His Majesty would only appease him first, and wait until Jiannu was destroyed. "
"Do you know why the news of Su Polu proclaiming himself king spread so quickly?
It's a Jiannu! As long as you use your brain, you will know that it is a conspiracy to build slaves.
Jiannu wished that the Ming Dynasty had forced Su Polu to rebel, which made all the generals panic.
Believe it or not, today we deal with Su Polu, tomorrow we will deal with Zhang Polu and Li Polu.
And then there are the various general soldiers? It will not stop until Jiannu comes to the capital, ransacks your home, robs your female family members, and digs up your ancestral graves. "
"In this case, what do you think is the difference between you and Sun Degong and others?"
Before Huang Jin could refute, Zhu Dingguo pushed everyone away and left.
"Are we really wrong?" Looking at Zhu Dingguo walking away, Huang Jin fell into deep thought.
Everyone in the court knew that he was upright and upright.
During the Tianqi period, Wei Zhongxian was in power, and many ministers relied on the eunuchs. Huang Jin is upright and does not follow the crowd.
In the sixth year of Tianqi (1626), Wei Zhongxian wanted to build a living temple on the west side of the Guoxue Museum, and the person in charge of the Guoxue Museum planned to assign him to take charge of this task.
All the officials congratulated, but Huang Jin laughed loudly and said: "That eunuch is an eunuch, and I am a historian. I am able to predict the eunuchment with a good official and make people laugh forever!" He firmly refused and said as a sacred scholar The land will be stained from now on, which is a great shame and humiliation for intellectuals, and they are required to be transferred from the Hanlin Academy.
After His Majesty ascended the throne, he praised himself in front of all ministers for his uprightness and the style of Wei Zheng, and awarded himself the post of Minister of Rites.
Huang Jin has always followed Wei Zheng as an example. Whenever His Majesty makes a mistake, he will quietly write it down and then seek advice from His Majesty.
Regarding the Su Polu matter, although Huang Jin knew that it was not under the management of the Ministry of Rites, Huang Jin still took over the matter out of his love for the Ming Dynasty.
But what Su Polu said today made Huang Jin fall into deep self-doubt.
"Dong, dong, dong." The sound of the bell interrupted Huang Jin's thoughts.
"Not good. Could it be that something happened in Liaodong? Su Polu rebelled?" Huang Jin felt a drum in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, if there is no major event after the morning dynasty, the bell will not be rung again.
Now that the bell is ringing, something big must have happened. In Huang Jin's opinion, the only possibility is that something happened in Liaodong.
Fortunately, the morning court had just ended and the officials had not gone far yet.
"Your Majesty, what's important? Could it be that something happened in Liaodong?"
Because he had just been stunned for a while, and because Huang Jin was anxious after hearing the bell, he was the first to rush to the Jinluan Hall.
Seeing Zhu Youjian who was restless on the dragon throne, he asked hurriedly.
"By the way, why did you forget this stubborn old man?" Looking at Huang Jin who hurried over, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel happy.
In fact, Huang Jin is in his prime at this moment and is not considered old. But because he is too principled.
Ever since Zhu Youjian pretended to praise him for his Wei Zheng style, whenever he did something rude, after going to court, Huang Jin would definitely go to the imperial study to give Zhu Youjian advice.
He reminded Zhu Youjian of his fear of being dominated by his high school English teacher in his previous life.
Although Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that the other party was doing it for his own good, there was still a trace of resistance to them in his heart.
To put it bluntly, I just find them a bit annoying.
....
In fact, Zhu Youjian was well prepared for the drought in Shaanxi. Before he ascended the throne, he asked the Qiming Chamber of Commerce to stockpile a large amount of food in Xi'an, Yan'an, Hanzhong, Qingyang... and other places to deal with the drought.
After he ascended the throne, he made preparations overtly and covertly to prevent anything from happening in Shaanxi.
The Jin Yiwei and Secret Guards were closely checking the weather conditions in Shaanxi, both bright and dark.
News of the severe drought in Shaanxi had actually reached the capital long ago. After receiving the news, Zhu Youjian not only issued an order to exempt the drought-prone areas of Shaanxi from taxes, but also had people formulate a series of work-for-relief programs.
The relief-for-work program has the following advantages over ordinary disaster relief.
First, by organizing relief objects to participate in project construction, the relief objects can obtain necessary income and the most basic living security to achieve the purpose of relief.
Second, a number of public projects and infrastructure will be formed in policy implementation areas, which will play a long-term role in local economic and social development.
Third, it can alleviate the regional labor surplus problem to a certain extent and is conducive to social stability.
Fourth, a large number of labor forces from Shaanxi and other places can be transferred out, thereby reducing the pressure on the court to transport grain.
Fifth, yes...
It can be said that working-for-relief is the best way to solve the unrest in Shaanxi.
But the premise of everything is to ensure that everyone who dares to reach out will be stuck.
Otherwise, in an era of backward communication. The policies issued by the imperial court to help the victims cannot help but fail to save the people. Instead, they will become a means for those beasts to exploit the people.
Now the impact of the severe drought in Shaanxi has begun to gradually appear. According to intelligence from the secret guards, many poor people only have enough food left at home to survive for a month.
Coupled with the time spent delivering letters on the road and the time required for court officials to rush to Shaanxi, there was really not much time left for Ming Dynasty.
"Huang Aiqing, Ming Dynasty has encountered a big trouble now, and you need to go to Shaanxi. ..."
"Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust. Anyone who dares to take action against the imperial court's disaster relief funds will not be spared."
"Okay, with the words of my love for you, I feel relieved.
Things in Shaanxi are related to the future of the Ming Dynasty. I grant you a Shang Fang sword. When necessary, you can mobilize the army for disaster relief. Anyone who dares to reach out for corruption. Whether they are relatives of the emperor or country gentlemen, they can be killed first and then played. "
Shaanxi is too far from the capital. In order to ensure smooth disaster relief, Zhu Youjian could only give Huang Jin the right to act as cheaply as possible.
