While everyone present looked at Yu Qian, Yu Qian was also looking around at everyone.
With just one glance, Yu Qian recognized the reality: everyone else had abandoned Sanyang.
According to the original unwritten rules, it should be between officials and officials.
Especially among civil servants, it is normal for them to push each other.
But it is obvious that Sanyang has caused public outrage.
Not only did the emperor mention Sanyang, he could not hide his inner contempt and contempt. Even the other ministers were filled with resentment.
Today, less than a hundred years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ming Dynasty's national power is still strong. The ministers could have followed the emperor to enjoy peace and live comfortably.
As a result, Xuanzong and Sanyang didn't feel bad about being their masters, and they dug big holes one after another. Veteran officials like Chen Xun and He Wenyuan would never see the day when the holes were filled until they died.
We have studied hard for twenty or thirty years, fought our way out of thousands of troops, and finally won Jinshi and entered the temple, not just to wipe people's butts for the rest of our lives.
No one dared to openly take action against Xuanzong, so Sanyang could only shoulder all the responsibilities.
Therefore, the emperor directly used the conclusion that "Three Yangs are in chaos", but the ministers were indifferent, and no one refuted it.
The situation has developed like this, and Yu Qian no longer dares to speak for Sanyang. Just look at the things Sanyang did, and if you insist that they are loyal ministers and good ministers, it is not just nonsense, it is simply calling a deer a horse.
The Emperor Jingtai in front of him was a very prestigious adult emperor.
If anyone dared to "call a deer a horse", the emperor would dare to respond on the spot by "throwing a cup as a sign."
Yu Qian pondered for a while and asked the emperor: "May I ask Your Majesty, should we focus on suppressing the Miao people, or should we focus on appeasement?
If troops are sent to suppress the army, who should be the commander-in-chief? "
Seeing that no one was bothering about Sanyang's issue anymore, and no one objected to changing Cheng Jing to the position of doctor in the Ministry of War, Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction, and then replied:
"The Miao people are also the people of the Ming Dynasty. It's best to take care of them first. It's best if they can be comforted. If it really doesn't work anymore, then send troops to suppress them. I will arrange some helpers for you.
Han Yong, the former censor of Youqiandu and governor of Sichuan, continued to serve; Bai Gui was promoted to censor of Youqiandu and patrolled Huguang; Xiang Zhong was promoted to censor of Youqiandu and patrolled Henan.
Zhu Yi, Duke of Chengguo, was appointed as the general military officer of the Miao Dynasty and was in charge of the military forces of Huguang, Henan and Sichuan provinces. "
Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi was Hu Xi's son-in-law. At this time, Zhu Qiyu chose to transfer Zhu Yi out of Nanjing to deal with the Miao people with Yu Qian.
This is not because Zhu Qiyu has much ill will toward Zhu Yi. Putting down the Miao chaos is both a test and an opportunity. Let's observe it for a few years and see.
The lineup of civil servants assigned to Yu Qian by Zhu Qiyu was quite strong. Han Yong, Bai Gui, and Xiang Zhong were all future ministers of the Ministry of War.
This is not over yet, Zhu Qiyu then added: "Originally, the imperial court wanted to exempt Huguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong, and Guangxi from tax corvee for the entire year.
These six provinces have suffered from wars and disasters in recent years. I have made the decision to exempt all taxes and corvees in these six provinces next year.
I have gritted my teeth, tightened my belt, and given maximum preferential treatment. I hope you three governors will not disappoint me. "
Wang Ji and Yu Qian quickly knelt down and thanked the people of the six provinces. Zhu Qiyu was absolutely telling the truth. Giving the six provinces an extra year of tax exemption and corvee service indeed put tremendous pressure on the court.
In order to let the people recuperate, the emperor also worked hard.
The main reason why Zhu Qiyu dared to be so generous was because Yue Zheng had plundered a huge amount of wealth from Wala and now had it shipped back to the capital.
With this large amount of input to subsidize the Ministry of Household Affairs, we can get through this year again.
Let’s talk about next year’s matters.
Now the southern provinces have clearly distributed:
Wang Ji was the governor-general of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Jiaozhi.
Yu Qian was the governor of Huguang, Sichuan and Henan.
Wang Ao was the governor-general of Guangxi and Guangdong.
The civil servants have given it to you, and the generals have given it to you. Tax exemption is given to you, and freedom from corvee is also given to you.
The promise of promotion to a higher position was also fulfilled.
If the South cannot be pacified, then I will have to hold them accountable.
Zhu Qiyu looked at everyone and was about to get up and go home.
At this point, Zhu Qiyu was temporarily reconciled with the important officials of the Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties. Except for the dead Sanyang who will take the blame, the other important ministers have all been given what they should give. At least the superficial dignity can be maintained.
He just pitied his good brother Zhu Qizhen. With Hu Hui's death, there was no longer an important minister on his side.
Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was about to run away, Wang Wen and Yu Shiyue quickly persuaded him to stop.
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What else do you two dear ladies want?"
Wang Wen replied with an innocent face: "Your Majesty, the matters over at Wala have not been settled yet. Boyan Timur is still being held in the Ministry of Punishments. Your Majesty must give you accurate instructions on how to deal with it.
First of all, he confessed to the smuggling between Wala, Sanyang and Wang Zhen. How to deal with it still requires instructions from the Holy Father. "
Zhu Qiyu sighed and had no choice but to reply: "What do you, the Three Law Divisions, think, and how should you deal with Boyan Timur?"
Wang Wen replied: "Killing to pay for life, I think Boyan Timur should be sentenced to death."
Zhu Qiyu immediately waved his hand: "That won't work. After all, Boyan Timur neither gave the order nor directly participated in the uprising of the Wala Mission.
The incident happened in a hurry and the causes were complicated, causing the situation to get out of control in an instant. Boyan Timur cannot be entirely blamed for this.
Besides, I asked him to lead the delegation to Beijing, and he came because they trusted me. As a result, I killed him within a few days?
In the eyes of outsiders, wouldn't it be that I set up a trap and deliberately tricked people into coming to the capital to kill them?
The capital is the best place in the world and the safest place in the world.
We want others to yearn for the capital when they think of it, instead of worrying all day about whether they will never return. "
Wang Wen nodded and respectfully replied: "I bow to the Holy Judge."
Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and then replied: "I reprimanded Boyan Timur and demoted him to the county king. At the same time, he made Yexian's eldest son Huo'er Huda and his third son Amasangchi the county kings.
The original tribes were also jointly managed by the three new princes.
As for Ye Xian, it will be handed over to the three judicial departments for trial. Conclusive evidence must be obtained before Sanyang and Wang Zhen can be convicted of smuggling, and good people must not be wronged. "
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu persisted and added: "When he was promoted, he became the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, governor of the military affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and was responsible for the establishment of the Fujian Navy."
Nian Fu is now the political envoy to Zuobu, Henan Province. Zhu Qiyu had previously ordered Nian Fu to go to Beijing. But now that the emperor and his ministers have not met face-to-face, Zhu Qiyu hastily announced the appointment.
Because Nianfu was highly recommended by Yang Pu back then, Zhu Qiyu's move was intended to convey a signal to the government and the public that he was only targeting San Yang himself. Those who have been recommended by Sanyang, but have real talents and practical knowledge, and have been serving the court loyally, do not need to worry about being affected at all.
The ministers were also very satisfied with the emperor's handling method, and through the trial, Wang Zhen's remaining party could be purged again, so that Wang Zhen's remaining power could be completely dissipated.
