"There is no problem with lowering the rank. What if they don't want to and start making trouble?"
"It's okay. If I tell you to wait, I'll just wait. Just wait."
Um~
As expected, it was just a matter of waiting. Not long after, Tieniu came with a group of sturdy men.
Wang Peng suddenly understood what Zheng Xiong meant.
It is logical that there is suppression by this group of people.
No matter how unwilling you are, you can only leave.
There's no way, I can't beat him!
At least Zheng Xiong didn't do anything wrong, so the severance pay was a bit of comfort.
With this money, I should have no worries for the rest of the month, but I will have to look for a job without my iron rice bowl.
After the others left, Zheng Xiong gathered these people together and prepared to lecture them.
"You are from No. 1 Construction and have no experience. Logically speaking, you should not be transferred here."
"But since you are here, you must have your strengths."
"Ability is not important here. You can learn it slowly the day after tomorrow. The only requirement is loyalty. You must be loyal to the government office and follow the government office's orders."
“Don’t be like our predecessors who couldn’t distinguish priorities.”
"So they left and you came."
"I hope you will remember the mistakes of your predecessors and wake up to yourselves."
"We will bear in mind the teachings of the Marquis."
The echo rang in my ears.
Full of energy.
"Okay, your words are enough."
"I am not a stingy person either."
"No matter how much wages you get in the first construction, it remains the same here."
"And every time you complete something assigned by the government, you can get additional rewards."
"The following is all information, I will change it later"
In the sixth year of Hongwu (1373), Li Wenzhong led his army to the border of Beiping and Shanxi and defeated the enemy in Triangle Village. In 1374 (the seventh year of Hongwu's reign), the dispatch department was sent out of the country by separate routes. Arriving at Sanbulachuan, he captured Pingzhang Chen Anli. Arriving at Shunning and Yangmen, he beheaded the pearl donkey. Arrive at Baideng and capture Taiwei Buhua. In the autumn of this year, Li Wenzhong led his army to attack Daning and Gaozhou, conquering the two places, beheading the clan king Duoduo Shili, and capturing hundreds of slaves who had obeyed the decree. He chased to Zhanmao Mountain, killed King Lu, and captured his concubine, Situ Dahai and others. Then he marched to Fengzhou and captured twelve old officials of the Yuan Dynasty. There were many horses, camels, cattle and sheep, and they pursued him for hundreds of years before returning. Since then, Li Wenzhong led his troops to guard the border many times.
In the tenth year of Hongwu (1377), Li Wenzhong was ordered to discuss military and state affairs with South Korean Gong Li Shanchang. In 1379 (the twelfth year of Hongwu), the Eighteenth Band of Taozhou rebelled. Li Wenzhong and Xiping Hou Muying joined forces to pacify them, and built a city in Nanchuan, Donglong Mountain, and set up Taozhou Guards. After returning to court, Li Wenzhong reported that the water in Xi'an contained salty brine and was not drinkable. He requested that ground be dug to divert water from the Longshou Canal into the city to facilitate water collection. Zhu Yuanzhang adopted his suggestion. Li Wenzhong was in charge of the Governor's Office and also served as the Imperial Supervisor.
He died of illness
In the winter of the 16th year of Hongwu (1383), Li Wenzhong fell ill. Taizu came to visit him in person and ordered Huai'an Hou Huazhong to be responsible for the treatment. In the third month of the lunar calendar in 1384 (the seventeenth year of Hongwu), Li Wenzhong died at the age of forty-six. Taizu suspected that Hua Zhong was poisoned, so he lowered Hua Zhong's title and expelled his family members to Jianchangwei. Other doctors, wives and children were beheaded. Taizu personally wrote a memorial ceremony and named Li Wenzhong King of Qiyang, with the posthumous title of Wu Jing. He is worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and his portrait is hung in the Temple of Meritorious Officials, ranking third.
Character evaluation
Zhang Tingyu: Wen Zhong's equipment is very powerful, but it is unpredictable. When facing battle, he is vigorous and fierce, and becomes stronger when encountering a powerful enemy. He was quite knowledgeable and often studied under Fan Zuqian and Hu Han in Jinhua. He was familiar with the classics and his poems were impressive.
Gu Yingtai: It’s as if Xu Zhongshan’s loyalty is flawless, Li Qiyang’s eagerness to learn and follow orders, Tang Xingong’s obedience and prudent attitude, and Mu Xiping’s high status but not arrogance. Woohoo! We are competing fiercely with Bi and San's disciples.
"Cambridge History of the Ming Dynasty in China": Li Wenzhong, the nephew of Emperor Hongwu, was the only knowledgeable person among the emperor's relatives, but from a very early age, he was somewhat uncertain about his loyalty to his uncle. However, the emperor still placed him in a very important position. He was an extremely talented administrator. According to historical records, he was good at handling money, food and criminal matters, and was also good at large-scale public projects. After the Ming Dynasty's regime was initially stabilized, in the second year (1380) when Li Wenzhong took charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Zhu Yuanzhang was charged with abuse of power, perversion of the law, and conspiracy. , executed Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, and deliberately expanded the case to implicate as many as 10,000 people. At this time, everyone inside and outside the court was in danger, and everything was precarious.
Li Wenzhong was deeply disturbed by these practices of Ming Taizu. He himself had given two memorials, one to advise Ming Taizu not to send troops to conquer Japan; the other to advise Ming Taizu not to rely too much on eunuchs when dealing with important political affairs, and for criticizing Ming Taizu in executing officials and handling other matters. Ancestor.
Both memorials were shelved and ignored, but they did not offend Zhu Yuanzhang. Li Wenzhong saw Zhu Yuanzhang massacre the heroes, and was worried that he would lose the support of the people, lose the country's vitality, and endanger the regime. He was determined to risk his life for the third time to remonstrate.
That night, Li Wenzhong couldn't sleep well. He wrote the memorial and waited to go to court. Before leaving, he asked his wife to teach his children well so that they could contribute to the country when they grow up, and then he said goodbye to his wife. Li Wenzhong went to court and handed over the memorial. Taizu of the Ming Dynasty opened the memorial. When he read: "Rebellious ministers and traitors will be punished without mercy, but they will practice false accusations, kill innocent people indiscriminately, make people uneasy, and damage the vitality of the country." Before he finished reading, his expression changed early. He suddenly left his seat, pointing at Wen Zhong and angrily scolding him: "You are so bold and talking nonsense. I have cut off all rebellion, what does it have to do with you?" He threw down the memorial. Wenzhong showed no fear and replied loudly: "Your Majesty has killed all the heroes and generals. Once there is police on the border or there is a rebellion in the country, who will serve the country on the battlefield? I hope your Majesty will think twice." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Li Wenzhong, Aren't you afraid of death? I will help you and kill you together to see who dares to come again." Wen Zhong protested: "Wen Zhong's death is not a pity. I hope your Majesty will think more about the country and the people." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the warrior generals Wen Zhong was taken to prison and awaited.
The fact that Li Wenzhong's admonishment was condemned soon spread to the palace. Queen Ma was shocked when she heard this. When Taizu returned to the palace, he saw Queen Ma sitting sullenly with two lines of tears on her face. He was very surprised when he saw it and asked hurriedly: "Why is the Queen unhappy?" The Queen replied: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to kill Wenzhong, and I feel sorry for him. Dozens of His Majesty's family members have all died long ago, leaving only Wen Zhong. I heard that Your Majesty wants to kill Wen Zhong, and I feel sad for him! Wen Zhong is the founding minister of the country and your nephew. Can't you spare his life? "One sentence made it clear that Ming Taizu was moved by compassion. Unconsciously burst into tears. He pardoned Wen Zhong's death penalty, but removed his official position and lived in seclusion at home. He said that Your Majesty wants to kill Wenzhong, and I feel sad for him! Wenzhong is the founding minister of the country, and he is your nephew. Can't you spare his life? "With these words, Ming Taizu was moved by compassion and couldn't help crying. Next.
