After Yunnan is recovered, the second generation of Ming Dynasty nobles will also officially begin to take power and lead an army outside. What they have to do is not only guard and fight against rebellion, but also cooperate with the officials sent by the court to establish a new order.
For example, it is necessary to connect the jurisdictions of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan and Guangxi provinces, integrate the post roads within the country into the national post road network, connect the four provinces around Guizhou, and open up the main transportation artery.
Recruit Han Confucian scholars from all over the world, accept literati from many sources, establish the Xuanwei School to train children of all ethnic groups, recruit skilled craftsmen, teach advanced farming and weaving techniques, open farmland, develop production, and advocate the integration of Yi and Han...
This sounds simple to say, but it will not be easy when it is actually implemented in the future. Fortunately, Liu Bowen started preparing early, and with the support of Sichuan, the situation will not be too bad.
Speaking of which, when Yunnan is recovered, Liu Bowen will have to come back with Tang He. This old man is also over sixty years old, and his health and bones are still not good. He has been oppressed by the old Zhu family for so many years, so he must be given a few years to return to his hometown to recuperate.
Then I don't know who to entrust with the government affairs of Sichuan. It is not easy to find frontier officials who can bear the heavy responsibility of a province. Zhang Fan, Li Jin, Guo Chong and others under Zhu Biao are not good enough.
Of course, there is no shortage of candidates for the central court, but they are all carrots and pitfalls. Using them to fill Liu Bowen's vacancy is not like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, which is not appropriate.
In fact, Zhu Biao had a plan in mind, but it may be a bit surprising. Not only the ministers in the court, but even Lao Zhu would not support it, which was to let Ming Sheng return to Sichuan.
Since ancient times, there has been no talk of letting the lord of the subjugated country return to his homeland, but Zhu Biao thinks this is an excellent way. Sichuan actually developed well in the hands of the Ming family.
According to the memorial sent from Sichuan after Liu Bowen took office, although Ming Yuzhen, the First Lord of Xia, had no far-sighted strategy, he was frugal and studious. It was also the order of partial peace, the promotion of culture and education, the prevention of heresies, and the reduction of taxes. One party relied on the well-off society. Although it has not lasted forever, the people still lament that they cannot express their virtuous words in words.
Ming Xia perished due to the general trend of the world, rather than cruelty and decay. The people of Sichuan and Shu are still very grateful to the Ming family for preserving peace in Shu in troubled times.
What Sichuan and Shu need is stability, not only stability but also assistance in stabilizing Yunnan and Guizhou. The Ming family is very famous among the various ethnic groups in Yunnan. After all, if it were not for Duan Gong back then, it is estimated that Ming Xia would have annexed Yunnan and encroached on Guizhou.
If Ming Yuzhen had become successful, the situation would have been very different. Unfortunately, both his ambition and luck were inferior. This is fatal to a person who wants to achieve great things, so his Ming Xia The second generation died.
However, it is said that good fortune lies in the presence of misfortune, and misfortune lies in the blessing of good fortune. If it were not for this, his son Ming Sheng would not be able to save his life, and he would even have the hope to make achievements and truly establish a family foundation for the Ming family.
……………
After the morning court, Zhu Biao walked directly towards the East Palace. Chang Yuchun returned to the capital half a month ago. Although Zhu Biao did not go out of the city to greet him in person, he did not have to have Hu Weiyong lead the civil and military officials to greet the King of Kaiping at the city gate in the morning court. Return to court with full honor.
After all, he was a real son-in-law, and Zhu Biao didn't want to let the Chang family go too far. Chang Yuchun made a special detour on his way back from Northern Xinjiang to visit Lao Zhu and Queen Ma, where the ceremony was also held. pass.
Chang Yuchun, the King of Kaiping, has reached the point where he has no title. This time, he was only given the title of Crown Prince and Taibao. The right governor of the Dudu Palace specially visited Dr. Guanglu, and opened the palace with three ministers, and was specially rewarded to enter the court. Do not seek to praise or worship the glory that is not known.
The so-called opening ceremony of Tongsansi means establishing an office in a designated place, promoting the shogunate and staff, what level the government should be opened to, and what level of ceremonial guards should be used. It is clear that Tongsansi and Sansi are Sanggongsanshi. .
In fact, it was a high-level official position in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the highest official rank among casual officials from the Sui, Tang and Yuan Dynasties. However, Chang Yuchun himself was a third division official. This was obviously just to increase his honor.
The same is true for the following "Not trending when entering the court, praising and worshiping without fame". When courtiers have an audience with the emperor, they cannot stride forward. After having the treatment of "not trending when entering the court", they no longer need to take small steps and can move forward at a normal speed.
Normally when meeting the emperor, the ministers would wait outside the palace gate first, and wait for the ceremonial officer to inform the emperor of the minister's official position and name. After receiving the treatment of "praise and worship without name", the celebratory officer would not call him by his name, but only address him by official title.
As for the last two pieces of the four-piece set for powerful ministers, Swords and Shoes Going to the Palace and Jiuxi are missing. After all, Lao Zhu obviously has no intention of killing his own relatives. Otherwise, if he gave it to him at once, Chang Yuchun would have no choice but to kill himself immediately. .
Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Zhao, Huan Xuan, Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan, Chen Baxian, Li Yuan, etc. all accepted Jiuxi...
At this point, Chang Yuchun has no room for further titles in his life except for adding another one after his death. This is a very dangerous situation for the ministers.
It also means that Chang Yuchun will never have the chance to leave the capital again in his life. Even when Lao Zhu feels that his health is going to fail, he will definitely let him take the first step in advance. This is the price of power and honor.
Lao Zhu would never allow his relatives to interfere in politics and shake up the power of his children and grandchildren. Chang Yuchun himself knew this very well, but how could his son and husband refuse the honor of being a top official and leaving his name in history?
It's nothing more than being buried with the emperor, and I don't know how long it will be. It's a trivial matter!
Zhu Biao leads directly from the middle left gate to the Spring Harmony Palace. The originally orderly women and eunuchs in the East Palace were a little anxious today. They came and went without knowing what they were busy with, and they looked very lively.
"Slave, wait and see..."
Zhu Biao ignored the greetings and walked directly into the hall to take over his two sons from the nanny who was holding the child. The two of them seemed to be watching the excitement. They looked around and kicked their legs hard, which was really the strength of feeding.
"Can you two walk? The little guy who can only crawl, be careful of being stepped on."
The two children naturally did not understand their biological father's question, but the slaves in the palace hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I'm waiting for you to die!"
"Do your thing."
"promise."
Now everyone was walking lightly, and Zhu Biao felt comfortable. He carried his son and walked towards the inner bedroom. Liu Jin, who was behind him, followed in a small step and said hurriedly: "Master, please help me hug him..."
Zhu Biao looked at his rosy-faced and excellent-looking wife who was giving instructions and couldn't help but joked: "I'm just going back to my parents' home. Do I want to take the entire East Palace back with me?"
Chang Luohua raised his eyebrows and smiled sweetly: "I will leave the house to you, and we, the three of us, will use the rest. Why are you willing to let us suffer?"
"If returning to Changfu is considered a hardship, then where else in the world can we support you three?"
Chang Yuchun has been back to Beijing for half a month, but he has been exposed to the wind and cold while traveling all the way. After attending the morning court for two days, he has been recuperating in the mansion, so he has never seen his daughter and grandson.
A few days ago, the imperial doctor had diagnosed her and everything was fine, so Zhu Biao was ready to send his wife and children to the Chang Mansion to stay for a while, as a reward for his hard work.
Chang Luohua came over and took his youngest son and kissed his tender face: "I can only support him."
Even though Chang Luohua has never breastfed the child himself, and does not spend as much time with the nanny as he does on weekdays, mother and child are connected, and these two children are special mothers. When Yang'er saw that she had not been kissed, Yang'er's big eyes filled with grievances. Instantly filled with tears.
Chang Luohua had no choice but to bring her face closer to kiss her eldest son. The nanny who was following him looked happy. The biggest taboo for a nanny is to keep the child from being close to her mother.
There will be no good consequences for anyone who dares to do this. A slave is a slave. If you ruin the relationship between mother and son, how can the master keep you? Let alone in this heavenly home, it is not surprising that you lose your life.
These nannies are the ones who really look forward to the harmony and beauty of this family, and the rest of them don't dare to ask for it.
