There are two capitals and thirteen provinces. North Zhili is under the eye of the central court, and South Zhili has a garrison and another set of court teams.
In other places, there are not governors everywhere. Judging from the emperor's current intentions, will there be a permanent governor-general in the future?
Everyone thought about what Guangdong was doing now, and then fell into deep thought.
After Zhu Houcong asked "Who wants to go," no one spoke to him, and he didn't take it seriously.
Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian had asked the governor to go to Nanzhili. In the past three years, they had also asked for advice and orders to go to the local government for major events in the past three years.
But this time it meant something different.
This was a sweep before the new law was implemented throughout the Ming Dynasty. There were going to be a lot of killings here, so it was the governor.
The governor has a role model, and the governor controls the general military officer.
Who wants to go there and kill people with their own hands?
The subsequent impact is not just that, there are also several people who participated in the strategy leaving, and then there will be new changes in the center of the court.
After a while, Jiang Mian stood up and saluted: "I would like to go to South Zhili."
Cui Yuan looked at the emperor with hesitation.
This is no joke. The reason why the governor is not permanent is because the governor has too much power. Judging from the history books, although it is not as good as the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty, what the Ming Dynasty has to face now is the unwillingness of countless military officials, officials and gentry who are ready to take action.
With the prestige of participating in the strategy now, when you go to a place, you can conquer one party when you advance, and you can also separate one party when you retreat...
Just like Sichuan, isn't Gao Kewei's plan to put Fei Hong and Xue Lun at the head of the civil and military forces, intending to support the King of Shu and separatist rule first, causing chaos in the world?
Although your Majesty said that there would be no chaos, the new law was so different from the previous one that all the counselors were trembling with fear.
People's hearts will change, and if the direction of the wind changes, there is no guarantee that anyone will remain the same.
However, Zhu Houcong just nodded: "With the new governor of Southern Zhili, the Nanjing garrison and the six ministries must have something to say. Therefore, the governor of Southern Zhili is only temporary and will be in charge of water transportation, salt law, and water conservancy. In terms of military affairs, Wu Dinghou will listen to me. Will."
"I accept the decree."
Jiang Mian sat down.
He would not dare to be a down-to-earth governor like other provinces. How important is Southern Zhili? There is a whole set of left-behind yamen in Nanjing. There can only be an emperor at the top, how can there be a governor?
Now Yang Tinghe is the leader of the New Law Party and is irreplaceable. As long as there is no problem with his health, the first assistant will be stable.
The second assistant, Jiang Mian, led the reorganization of the Beijing camp and organized a change in the five military camps. Although the emperor deliberately tested some of his relatives, Jiang Mian still needed to do something to make the emperor recognize his importance.
After all, he had just turned sixty and his health was still good.
After Jiang Mian spoke, Mao Ji also stood up and asked for orders to go to Jiangxi. He is from Shandong, and the governor of Shandong is not suitable.
Zhu Houcong shook his head: "Mao Qing can go to Fujian."
One person's name came to everyone's mind: Wang Shouren.
In Jiangxi, I'm afraid I have to wait for Wang Shouren and Ding You to finish: anyway, it's only been two months, and it was very fast for him to go from Zhejiang to Jiangxi to take up his post.
Two people from the original "Yang Party" asked for help. Wu Tingju, who had been involved in the Guangdong case before, also stood up: "I would like to go to Shandong."
Zhu Houcong shook his head again: "No, you go to Guangdong."
Everyone was stunned, only to hear Zhu Houcong continue to say: "Guangdong has already established a good foundation. Zhang Fujing has been away from Beijing for nearly three years, and it's time to come back to meet the emperor. When he comes back, he will be rewarded based on his merits, and then he will declare to the world that I Determined to reform the opportunity. Shandong, let Zhang Fujing go."
Without him, there is only Duke Yan in Shandong.
Zhu Houcong remembered Zhang Fujing's feat of daring to attack the Kong family.
The restructuring of the Shipping Department in Guangdong was first initiated by Wu Tingju. Now that he has gone back and is very familiar with Guangdong, it will not be difficult to finish what Zhang Fujing has not finished.
Yang Tinghe could not imagine what kind of reaction Zhang Fujing would have when he arrived in Shandong.
However, the emperor personally giving an exceptional reward to Zhang Fuking, a pioneer of the reform and one of the emperor's first disciples, was indeed the best expression of the emperor's determination to the world at the level of the new law.
Because even if the old system of grain, tax, and corvee was not used last year, Guangdong's annual revenue still handed in a good answer, and the emperor could indeed express his satisfaction.
Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong cannot go down, and Cui Yuan is a relative and cannot be appointed governor.
Then Li Chongsi and others also came forward to ask for help, because everyone understood the emperor's intention of proposing this idea.
When the new law is implemented nationwide, the six old systems in Beijing cannot still exist as Yang Tinghe said before that there must be two sets of government agencies to connect with local governments, right?
Now that several advisers have left Beijing to guard one side, the first thing is that a large number of high-ranking official positions have been vacant. The opportunities here include being promoted to cabinet ministers and serving as nine ministers. Then there was a chain reaction, and there were many second-, third- and fourth-grade goods.
Taking part in the strategy and leaving the capital to guard the city was originally a decisive battle between the old and new laws in the stance stage. The position is to stand in line, and only by standing in line can you have a chance to climb up. This is also the inducement of high-ranking officials offered by the emperor.
Although they were away from the center of the court, in the emperor's vision for the future center of the court, the national policy meeting must be the beginning. When they successfully return to Beijing or become successful officials, they will be examples that the emperor must use to reward and inspire future generations. There will be no shortage of favors and honors.
As for separatist rule as Cui Yuan feared? Just kidding, they have already seen the emperor's fishing methods, and they are willing to become big fish themselves after following the emperor's swing?
When Zhang Fujing went to Shandong, it must have been the most intense moment of conflict between old and new culture. At that time, the emperor's own academic attainments will surely be revealed, and the emperor's great righteousness of paying attention to the people will only make the support for the imperial power more stable.
Without the support of the people, how could any gentry or military general succeed in rebellion?
Isn't water conservancy work just for the benefit of the people? Guangdong will reform the corvee this year, and the burden on the people will be greatly reduced. The people of Guangdong will only become the envy of people in other provinces.
Zhu Houcong finally nodded: "I am very pleased that you and others are loyal to the country. Just like the old practice, after you and others leave the capital, each of you can hold a secret box and report it directly to me before the emperor's case. The emperor and his ministers can speak freely. The essence and practical learning of the new law The essence of dialectics can be preached in local places. Always remember that you are helping me implement the new law for the sake of the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty. You are fully aware of my broad mind. To be loyal to the emperor, to be a blessing to your descendants, and to leave a good name in the history of history is the right thing to do and the inevitable result."
Another assurance, everyone expressed their kindness and expressed their determination generously.
Then, the next batch of candidates were discussed, and each was recommending candidates based on other officials' performance and talents regarding the new law during this period.
There is no shortage of smart people with foresight, and there is also no shortage of hedging bets.
Zhu Houcong didn't care. He would make more assessments based on the records of the internal files department and then look at his performance.
And just after they discussed for a while, Sichuan's second round of reports arrived at the Forbidden Palace.
Zhu Houcong looked at it and showed a pity expression to Yang Tinghe: "Two people in the Yang family were killed and one was seriously injured."
Yang Tinghe's expression froze, and he was about to ask with a sad look on his face. Zhu Houcong said: "They are all domestic servants. Let's go to Yang Ge and receive preferential treatment. Gao Kewei is indeed a golden cicada who has escaped from his shell. Those who went to the Yang family are actually the remnants of Guangdong, and everyone is a dead soldier." Fortunately, Chen Yin was brave and killed all the twenty-four thieves. The Yang family was safe, and so were the younger brothers, relatives, and the ancestral graves in the family temple."
So Yang Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the emperor was teasing him on purpose.
It was only after I remembered what I knew about the emperor that I said seriously: "I will send a message to my brother to give him a generous pension. I would like to express my gratitude to His Majesty for sending Chen Baihu to guard the town."
It seems that although Xue Lun responded in time, Xindu is too close to Chengdu.
During this time gap, twenty-four dead soldiers rushed directly to the Yang family. It is really scary to think about it.
Zhu Houcong said solemnly: "Gao Kewei was so audacious that he actually used the imperial edict of Zhengde to convey the holy will, and even forged the pass token and the official documents signed by Fei Hong and the three departments of Sichuan. The other five confidants sent by Gao Kewei as reported by Marquis Yangwu, I'm afraid it's the same all the time. If there are stupid people in Sichuan or people who take advantage of the situation, I'm afraid there will be small troubles."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Xian: "Fei Hong and Marquis Yangwu of the Ministry of War should give him the advantage. Let Zhang Bi, the envoy of Zuo Bu of Sichuan, do it. According to the envoy, let Gui E of Guangdong go. The rest of the candidates, The Ministry of Officials can start the selection process."
From the original lecturer to the imperial study room, he took over Yan Song's position and became the chief participant in the national policy meeting. Now Zhang Bi is only serving as the second-rank Zuobu envoy, unlike Yan Song who is directly the governor and returns immediately. Will become governor.
However, for Zhang Bi, this is also a necessary step to accumulate local practical experience.
The imperial study room is indeed the place where promotion is the fastest, and the speed of promotion makes other people jealous.
Now there is another vacancy in the Imperial Study Room.
Gu Dingchen was shocked: Can he take over as chief and participate in national policy meetings?
"Your Majesty, there is another secret report. Can Fei Dutai be trusted?" Cui Yuan fulfilled his duty and asked one more question.
Before, Yang Tinghe asked Xue Lun if he could be trusted, and now Cui Yuan asked Fei Hong if he could be trusted. After all, he wanted Fei Hong to have the advantage. The so-called advantageous power of the Ministry of War is to mobilize the army to quell the chaos.
Zhu Houcong said calmly: "Don't be suspicious of people, don't be suspicious of people when you employ them. Don't worry too much about Jingshan Hou. If I have many suspicions, how can the monarch and his ministers be of one mind?"
He acted very boldly, but did not say whether there was a secret report.
They are all old foxes, and everyone knows it. But this can be said to the advisers who are about to leave Beijing.
"Your Majesty, Gui E has been appointed as the chief envoy to Guangdong and is in charge of the Sihu Office. Guangdong has heavy tax and military affairs this year. If he goes to Sichuan and Zhang Fujing goes to Shandong, I am afraid that the person who takes over from Guangdong will be ineffective and the effectiveness of the new law will be misunderstood." Yang Tinghe said. Talk about doubts.
Whether the new law in Guangdong can be passed or not is related to the decision of the Jiajing Five Years. Although everyone now knows that it will be implemented nationwide by then, the more beautiful the report card is, the better.
Zhu Houcong said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as Wu Qing is here, nothing will go wrong. The land has been cleared, the rules and regulations have been edited, and the rest is just execution. If there is any disobedience in Guangdong, there will be little trouble caused by Chief Ma and General Chiang. The great chaos is caused by the Marquis of Funing. In the selection of many official positions this time, priority can be given to those who have made meritorious service in Guangdong in the past two years."
The situation is like this. If you comply with the new law, your promotion will be quick and guaranteed. If you are still waiting to see what luck you have or even oppose it, you will be cut off.
It has been brewing for three years. The Beijing Camp was first established and has gone through this chaotic rectification and payment. Now it is the time to look forward to making achievements.
Jiang Mian felt the storm after many advisers left the capital, and added: "The restoration of the five families of Liu, Li, Tang, Deng, and Chang and the reward for the generals who have made contributions in the rebellion of the five military camps still need to be completed in the future." It’s best to complete this before leaving Beijing.”
Zhang Zilin, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Xian, the Minister of War, both nodded: "This is very true."
The reason why this matter was relatively slow was that it took Xu Guangzuo a month to reorganize and conduct inventory at the Fifth Army Camp. In addition, Zhu Houcong also hoped to take this opportunity to give more hope to the non-honored generals in the Beijing camp.
And with just a little credit for quelling the chaos in the Fifth Army Camp, it would be no problem for Chief Qian Lei Quanyi to be promoted to General.
But selfishly, Zhu Houcong hoped to give him the opportunity to become a camp officer in the first army, breaking the precedent that only high-ranking officials could hold such high positions in the capital camp.
From this position, Lei Quanyi's contribution is a little smaller.
Zhu Houcong thought for a while and said: "If you can send three thousand soldiers from the Shenji Battalion to Huguang, you can also send three thousand soldiers from the Fifth Military Battalion to Sichuan, under the control of Marquis Yangwu. Let Lei Quanyi go to choose the captain!"
Give him another chance to make meritorious service. If he can make meritorious service in Sichuan, he will become a battalion officer in the First Battalion of the Beijing Camp after he returns.
Strong generals must be recruited from the army, and important ministers must be sent to prefectures and counties. This will be the inevitable situation in the Jiajing Dynasty in the future.
In addition, the reinstatement of the five old noble families also started with the earl. Now it is just a matter of organizing the ceremony and summoning the people to the capital.
Again and again, it takes time.
Discussions continued in the Imperial Study Room of Yangxin Hall. After a while, Huang Jin came in after asking for instructions from outside the door, knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, Duke Zhou Xizheng has gone to the west of Hexi!"
While everyone was silent, Zhu Houcong let out a long sigh: "I will give the prince a young master, a gift to the Minister of Rites, and make his eldest son Qi the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple."
Zhou Zhao did not survive this test after all, and died on the eve of the decisive battle in the new French team stage.
He was too old. After entering the capital, he only had the false title of Minister of Rites in the Ministry of Rites, and his two sons, who had not yet been educated, were not given any official positions.
Now, the Cheng of Guanglu Temple, who is in the sixth rank, can only be said to have given his son an official position and is in charge of the purchasing and cooking of Guanglu Temple, which is a marginal position.
There is no way, we can only see whether Zhou Zhao's grandson can make achievements in the imperial examination.
Another true imperial master has passed away, and now the only important minister in Qiandi is Xie Changjie.
The rest of the military officers were all promising, but the competition faced by the original civil servants of the palace was too strong, and Xie Changjie had his ups and downs.
Zhu Houcong arranged Zhou Zhao's funeral, and then ended today's national policy meeting.
That was the person who had always advised him not to rush, but Zhou Zhao couldn't understand where Zhu Houcong wanted to take the Ming Dynasty.
Now, as an engine of the giant Ming Dynasty, this new law will finally begin to roar in the two capitals and thirteen provinces.
Zhu Houcong came to Kunning Palace to see his baby Zhu Zi who was not long after he was full moon.
It was only later that Sun Ming realized the homophony of the name. He was very confused at first, but then his doubts were dispelled by Zhu Houcong's words, "It's easy to raise."
"I asked your father to stay in Huguang first." Zhu Houcong gently picked up his sleeping son and said smoothly.
Sun Ming just bit her lip lightly.
She doesn't discuss important matters in the court, but she knows about them.
Walking to Zhu Houcong, she looked at her husband and asked softly: "Will it go well?"
Zhu Houcong shook his arms slightly: "Whether it goes well or not is the difference between speed and slowness. Under my determination, anyone in the world who dares to disobey can give it a try!"
Now, the news that the emperor has a legitimate son should have spread to every province in the Ming Dynasty, right?
Although the troops in the Beijing camp are marching slowly, if there is a battle, they will surely arrive according to the order!
When the order was conveyed to the Fifth Army Camp, the former soldier Lei Quanyi's eyes shone, he knelt on one knee in front of Xu Guangzuo and said loudly: "The last general will definitely live up to his command!"
I wanted to update again today, but I am busy with official duties. Your Majesty, please forgive me.
