The tables and tables in the West Flower Hall were removed and turned into a banquet venue.
This time, He Yi, Yue Zheng and other Zhongshushe people were also taken away and followed the emperor to the Xinqi Palace in Yuquan Mountain to handle government affairs.
Zhu Qiyu has no plans to come back at all. Instead, he will follow Tao Yuanming's example, return to his garden and live in the fields, and become a hermit.
Indulging in the mountains and rivers and cultivating the countryside can, on the one hand, cultivate your sentiments and make you happy, and on the other hand, you can also challenge Jiajing and Wanli.
As an emperor, Zhu Qiyu was definitely quiet enough, indifferent and frugal in his life. Even the cook for this banquet was borrowed from the Wuding Hou Mansion.
Fortunately, Wudinghou Mansion has been prosperous for decades and has a profound heritage. Everyone who attended the banquet was full of praise for the dishes.
Zhu Qiyu looked around and found that his ruling team was basically all here today: among the civil servants, cabinet ministers and ministers, there were Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Zhou Chen, Luo Tong, Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan, and Yu Shiyue. Among the middle-aged people are Xu Youzhen and Chen Jian.
Among the young people, there are He Yi, Huang Pu, Lian Gang, Xu Zheng, Huang Jian and Yue Zheng.
More than a dozen people from three generations, old, middle and young, were the emperor's civil servants.
Zhu Qiyu felt that these civil servants were enough, and he would have to wait for next year's imperial examination to recruit more people. The first batch of Jinshi in the Jingtai Dynasty were truly Zhu Qiyu's disciples of the Emperor.
Looking at the relatives, there are Wuding Marquis Guo Chang, Wenxin Marquis Guo Cong, and five uncles: Huan, Hu Xuan, Wuzhong, Wu An, and Wu Cheng.
Among the military commanders and nobles, there were Xu Heng, Duke of An, Li Xuan, Duke of Cao, Wang Tong, Marquis of Chengshan, Zhao Xuan, Liu Chang and others.
Zhu Qiyu inspected each one one by one and nodded with satisfaction: This is a start-up team of about thirty people, and it is also the core team of his own company.
What we have to do in recent years is to maintain these people well and then let them work well for us.
While everyone was eating, they were chatting, and while chatting, they talked about the Miao chaos in the south.
Zhu Qiyu asked everyone: "You all tell me how this Miao chaos should be quelled. Now there will be no new wars in the north for the time being.
But in the south, there was Miao rebellion and civil unrest again. Since the Battle of Luchuan, the South has been in chaos for more than ten years. When will this end?
There are two options now. One is to spend a year to suppress the rebellion in front of you and then end the war. The whole country is in a state of recuperation.
The other is to bite the bullet and persist for a few more years to eradicate the hidden danger of Miao rebellion once and for all.
Today everyone can speak freely and share their thoughts. "
After hearing the emperor raise this issue, everyone present felt relieved.
This involves the question of whether the Jingtai government should put the army first and the people first, or the people first and the army.
The civil servants present must have been afraid that the emperor would engage in Songun politics again.
In the Zhengtong Dynasty, when Zhu Qizhen first took office, there was this debate in the court.
In the end, Zhu Qizhen chose the military-first politics, relying on his hard-core confidant Wang Zhen internally, and Wang Ji, a hard-line main battler externally, for ten consecutive years of conquest, and then the situation in the Ming Dynasty became what it is now.
Therefore, the dissatisfaction of the civil and military officials with Wang Zhen came more from his tough main battle, which damaged the country's strength. There is actually not much element of real personal grudges.
Chen Xun, Wang Wen and other cabinet ministers exchanged a few words with each other, and then Chen Xun gave a clear attitude on behalf of the important ministers: "Your Majesty, the reason why the south is in such chaos is because when the Supreme Emperor was in power, he insisted on thorough To wipe out Luchuan, the main army was dispatched three times in a row. In the past ten years, the southern provinces were constantly recruited and apportioned, which wasted people and money.
The people really couldn't bear it, so they rose up to resist.
If His Majesty continues to use troops year after year, the people will still rise up to resist, and there is no telling when peace will be completely restored in the south.
Therefore, Yichen and others believe that the war should end this year and allow the army to return to the court. "
Zhu Qiyu looked at the other civil servants again, thinking that there would be no different voices among the civil servants, but Xu Youzhen stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with Mr. Chen Ge's idea.
The conflict between the Miao people and the imperial court has been around for a long time. This Miao rebellion has gathered more than 200,000 rebels, and it will be difficult to completely quell it within a year.
Even if Uncle Jing Yuan can lead the army to suppress them this time, once the army leaves later, the Miao people will definitely rebel again.
If we don't try to eradicate it completely, Miao chaos will definitely recur in the next few decades, and the troubled court will not be able to live in peace.
Therefore, I suggest that after suppressing this wave of rebellion, a hundred thousand troops should be left behind to continue the purge.
Moreover, we need to increase the intensity of recruitment, focusing on suppression and recruiting and surrendering as a supplement. The Great Wall was built to completely separate the young seedlings from the mature seedlings and the Han people. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded and looked at the nobles again. The attitudes of the nobles were also inconsistent. Xu Heng and Fan Guang advocated suspending the troops and focusing on building the northern Great Wall defense line. Wang Tong hoped to continue to use troops in the south and immediately arrange to recover Jiaozhi after completely eradicating the hidden dangers of Miao chaos.
The generals of Yingzhou Guard are incompetent and very Buddhist.
Everyone was arguing extremely fiercely.
Zhu Qiyu was greatly relieved when he saw this scene. This is a rare dispute of pure political opinions in recent times. In the past, the emperor's faction and the emperor's faction had always fought back and forth, which was quite boring.
After half an hour of arguing, the West Flower Hall finally became quiet. Since no one can convince anyone, the only option is to respectfully ask the Holy Judge.
Zhu Qiyu smiled helplessly at the crowd and said: "When this rebellion is suppressed, let Uncle Jingyuan and Marquis Ningyang take charge temporarily.
However, the main force of the Ming army does not need to return to Beijing. It is better to rest and recuperate in Nanjing.
Then Jing Yuanbo, the Minister of War, and Yu Qian, the Minister of War in Nanjing, jointly reorganized the Nanjing camp.
In the first three years of the Jingtai Dynasty, each province had to take turns to pay taxes, taxes, and corvee. If the main force of the Ming army were allowed to continue fighting during this period, the court would really be unable to bear it.
Therefore, the strategy I have formulated is that in the first three years of the Jingtai Dynasty, we will mobilize a large army in the south to cut off the chaos quickly and end the war as soon as possible; we will build a Great Wall defense line in the north to intercept the Mongolian tribes and welcome back the Emperor as soon as possible.
Three years later, an army of 100,000 troops was sent to suppress and appease the Miao people, completely eradicating the Miao rebellion. In the fifth year of Jingtai's reign, another 150,000 troops were sent south to recover Jiaozhi. "
After hearing this, all the civil servants began to look at each other. The emperor's strategy was acceptable to others, but was it a bit hasty to send an army of 150,000 soldiers south to recover Jiaozhi? You must know that when Xuanzong was in power, the Ming army was beaten to pieces in Jiaozhi.
So Chen Xun stood up and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, should we take a longer look at the matter of recovering Jiaozhi?"
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he replied angrily: "It's really pointless to talk about this topic all the time. Let me emphasize it again: Taizu established the Ming Dynasty because he was ordered by heaven to drive out the Tartars, restore Chinese clothes and clothes, and reshape the Han Dynasty.
What our Ming Dynasty inherited was Han Zuo, Han Zuo, Han Zuo.
What does those nonsense Yuan and Song Dynasties have to do with our Ming Dynasty? Do we inherit them? Is it a shame?
Restoring the Han Dynasty is the source of legitimacy for our Ming Dynasty.
If I cannot regain the Han territory in the province of Cochin, I will be a coward, and you will all be traitors. "
Regarding the emperor's words, no one dared to say anything more. All the ministers present understood the meaning of these words. The emperor criticized Sang and Huai, so he simply said that Xuanzong was a coward and Sanyang was a traitor.
After Hu Hui, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qian were gone, no ministers wanted to refute the emperor. Everyone present had already been fed up with the mess left by Xuanzong and Sanyang.
Zhu Qiyu, on the other hand, continued to discuss which pot was left untouched: "Which beloved is willing to reset the Dongsheng Guard and the Kaiping Guard for me? Who will rebuild the Daning Capital for me and recruit the Duoyan Three Guards? Who will revive the slaves for me? Ergan Dusi?"
These are three big messes left by Emperor Taizong's good saint grandson, and Jingtai Jun and his ministers still have to wipe his ass.
As soon as Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Xu Ying was the first to stand up and reply: "Your Majesty, please go to Daning to capture the three Duoyan guards for Your Majesty."
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
Fan Guang also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go and revive Nuergandusi for your Majesty."
Zhu Qiyu was even more satisfied after hearing this.
Xu Heng stood up and asked to rebuild Dongsheng and Kaiping.
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Gong Anguo has to sit in the capital for me and cannot go to the border. I haven't decided who of these two guards will go. I'll talk about it later."
