Wang Yue and Yu Zijun looked at each other. How to quell the Miao chaos is an old problem. The first topic of the examination policy paper presented by the emperor himself was on the Miao rebellion in the southwest and the civil uprising in the southeast.
The key is that everyone answered and answered, but no one could give a solution that satisfied the emperor.
There is talk of suppression. The Miao people often burrow into the deep mountains and old forests, and then set up strongholds on the cliffs. Even if Han Xin comes, he will have to attack one village after another.
There was talk of caressing, but it was all just talk on paper. When it comes to Huguang, Guizhou, Sichuan and other provinces, no matter how well your court policies are formulated, the local officials simply cannot implement them.
Occasionally, if you encounter one or two state officials with strong abilities, the execution effect will be okay. But it is impossible for all the state officials in these provinces to be talented.
It is normal for local officials to mess around.
Moreover, most of the Han officials looked condescending and looked down on the Miao people. Let them care for you, and the effect can be imagined.
For the emperor to ask such a question was to deliberately make things difficult for others.
Yu Zijun could only bite the bullet and replied: "Wei Chen believes that the Inner Great Wall should be built to completely enclose the growing seedlings and completely isolate them from the Han people and mature seedlings.
For mature seedlings, Han and Miao mixed populations were just introduced to try to assimilate them.
The next step is to implement benevolent policies to reduce the oppression and exploitation of the Miao people.
Wei Chen dared to say something that violated a taboo. Many times, Miao people were forced into chaos.
For example, the imperial court built palaces and mausoleums, and asked Huguang, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places to cut down large trees all day long.
Those big trees were cut down and mined from the mountains, then mobilized to move them out of the mountains, and transported thousands of miles to the capital and various royal palaces. As a result, many people were killed, maimed, and displaced.
After His Majesty ascended the throne, he issued an edict to stop the harvesting of wood. Countless people in the southwest sung praises for their saintliness and expressed their gratitude to God for his kindness.
If these once-in-a-lifetime good governance can continue for decades, Wei Chen believes that the Jingtai Dynasty will not only revive the Ming Dynasty, but also achieve a prosperous age comparable to Wenjing.
At that time, the Miao area was in chaos, and if we didn't suppress it, it wouldn't matter. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction. Regardless of the effectiveness of this strategy, at least it sounded impassioned and inspiring.
Which emperor wouldn't want to emulate Wenjing's rule.
More than five hundred years later, the standards for evaluating emperors will be reversed. Martial arts will be praised more than martial arts.
Emperors like Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han became models and benchmarks.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, a wise king and a holy lord, waited and waited. People like Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty who took Emperor Wen of Han as their role model have almost completely disappeared.
But today, or looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, civil governance is still respected above martial arts.
If you grab anyone on the street and ask them if you want to be Emperor Xiaowen or Emperor Xiaowu, the answer will be self-evident.
Looking back to previous dynasties, the same is true.
Even during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there would be strange things like Cao Pi embezzling his father's title of Emperor Wen.
But then again, building the inner Great Wall to isolate the seedlings is really a solution. This plan was actually adopted in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
Following this topic, it was extended to the military and political affairs of the southeast, northwest, and northeast.
The monarch and his ministers chatted happily until noon, before Zhu Qiyu took everyone to dinner.
Between Jinghu Lake and Yuquan Mountain, there is a small lake to the north of Fengge. Zhu Qiyu built four halls on the east, west, north and south sides of the lake as a banquet place, and spent a lot of money to hire famous chefs from all over the country.
Ministers who usually handle government affairs in the government can dine here.
Today, Zhu Qiyu chose the South Hall as the banquet place.
As soon as everyone entered the south hall, they saw four stunning women standing in the hall waiting for each other.
Huang Pu and He Yi both bowed in greeting and addressed themselves as empress.
Secondly, Gao Yao reacted the fastest and knelt down to pay homage.
Lin Xiangyu quickly gave in and said humbly: "Hurry up, Mr. Tanhua. You are all the future pillars of the country. There is no need to pay such a courtesy to us concubines."
The beloved concubines were polite, but Gao Yao didn't dare to take it seriously, so he still bowed politely before getting up.
Wang Yue and Yu Zijun did not expect that imperial concubines would appear at the banquet, and they were unwilling to kowtow to these concubines.
If Gao Yao hadn't insisted on the big salute, Wang Yue and Yu Zijun had planned to follow Huang Pu and He Yi in bowing.
But after Gao Yao did this, the two of them became incompetent.
After a slight hesitation, the two reluctantly chose to kneel down.
Lin Xiangyu and others hurriedly raised their hands to support him and expressed humility.
Zhu Qiyu saw the embarrassment of the two people and spoke up: "Today is just a family banquet and has nothing to do with state affairs. Everyone should be more casual and there is no need to perform national ceremonies."
Come, come, come, sit down, sit down. "
The table is already filled with wine and food, mainly southern cuisine.
Today, except for Zhu Qiyu and Wang Yue, the rest, including the beloved concubines, are all from the south.
There was a long table, and Zhu Qiyu naturally took the main seat, and then on the left, Wang Yue, Yu Zijun, and Gao Yao took their seats in turn. On the right side, the four beloved concubines, as well as Huang Pu and He Yi, sat down respectively.
In front of Zhu Qiyu and Wang Yue, northern dishes were served; in front of the others, southern dishes were served. The concubines took these details into consideration one by one.
For Wang Yue, Yu Zijun, and Gao Yao, Zhu Qiyu's family can be regarded as extremely generous.
As for why Zhu Qiyu allowed his beloved concubine to attend, it was because he was prepared for danger in times of peace.
Although Zhu Qiyu does not advocate that the imperial concubine interferes in politics, what if one day he has a headache and is unable to handle government affairs. What should I do if I suddenly fall asleep?
Zhu Qizhen's lesson is still there: Xuanzong was already dead, but after Xuanzong died, Zhu Qizhen was young, and Sun was almost as bad as Xuanzong.
The two of them were competing against each other, and no one could support Zhu Qizhen, and no one could teach Zhu Qizhen. As a result, Zhu Qizhen's emperor's scheming was so bad that he was completely deceived by the ministers, and finally became a piece of cake.
Shanxi was in such a bad state and the health centers along the way were so bad that Zhu Qizhen didn't know anything about it. This is the most outrageous thing.
Zhu Qizhen was captured during his own expedition, and Queen Qian was completely unable to handle the matter. Let alone handle government affairs and stabilize the overall situation, she simply cried and became lame.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu's current strategy is that his beloved concubines usually do not need to be involved in politics, but once something happens to him, his beloved concubines must be able to take charge.
This sounds a bit contradictory. It is true that the horse must run and the horse must not eat grass.
The solution Zhu Qiyu gave was to let the beloved concubines have more contact with the courtiers, especially these new scholars, his disciples.
At least we have to be familiar with each other. When the critical moment comes, we will at least still have some friendship, which is better than not knowing each other at all.
This meal was enough for two hours. Qianxue and Su Xi have always been aloof and unsmiling in front of outsiders.
Lin Xiangyu, on the other hand, was good at dancing and humorous, and soon made the three Jinshis fall in love with her.
Although Ningxiang was full of smiles, gentle and kind, she didn't talk much. She was only responsible for pouring the wine. It didn't take long before she snuggled up to Zhu Qiyu and started to act coquettishly.
Wang Yue and the others soon realized that the concubines had very distinct personalities and were easy to distinguish:
The twin sisters, Concubine Yu and Concubine Xiang, looked exactly the same and acted in the same way. Wang Yue and others suspected that the emperor himself might not be able to tell the difference clearly. These two sisters can be regarded as one entity, both with cold yet strong personalities.
Princess Qi is the most beautiful, the kindest to others, and is the most popular imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine who clung to the emperor looked like a very pampered little woman who did not care about the common affairs or worry about anything idle.
What surprised Wang Yue and others was that even ordinary scholars who were not in the court knew that the emperor's concubines were bound to scheming and jealousy.
But the scene in front of them once again exceeded everyone's understanding. No matter how blind you are, you can see that these imperial concubines are as close as sisters, with no intention of competing for favor, and they don't look like they are pretending to be harmonious.
The three new scholars, the No. 1 Scholar, the No. 2 Scholar, and the Third Scholar, have already had a preliminary understanding of the Emperor: His Majesty is really unique and unique.
