On September 1st, Xianfei Province went to Wuhe County.
On September 4th, Ming Dynasty Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen and Queen Ma Enhui came to Wuhe County. This made Xian Fei's parents very excited. Wuhe officials felt even more honored and wrote an inscription to record the event.
Two days later, Zhu Yunwen took the queen and the concubine to Fengyang, the central capital, to visit the mausoleum.
When Zhu Yunwen arrived in Fengyang, the Security Bureau's investigation documents on the Qingjiang Shipyard were finally delivered. Looking at the thick stack of directories and many evidences, Zhu Yunwen was also a little sad, and summoned Jian Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Zuo Duyu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Shideyi and Xu Huizu, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army.
"Look, these are the good officials selected by the Ministry of Personnel. This is the result of the inspection by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the result of the governance of the Fifth Military Governor's Palace Guards Office!"
Zhu Yunwen threw the document out.
Jian Yi, Dai Deyi and Xu Huizu looked at these documents uneasily, especially Xu Huizu, who was even more timid.
A few days ago, Xu Huizu and Zhu Di checked Dahewei and found nothing wrong with Dahewei. As a result, Zhu Yunwen pointed at his nose and yelled at him for a quarter of an hour, so he had to wait on him.
Xu Huizu felt aggrieved. Although Dahewei wanted the ships from Qingjiang Shipyard, these ships were not left in Dahewei. How could he find out which ship in the river belonged to Dahewei...
However, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army is the superior of the Guard Office. If there is a problem with the Guard Office, it means that the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army has failed in its duties.
What made Xu Huizu even more depressed was that the Dahe Guards in Huai'an and all the guards in Fengyang were directly affiliated with the Central Army Governor's Mansion. They did not belong to the front army or the rear army.
As a matter of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, there is a problem here, and I can't shirk it even if I want to.
Poor Xu Huizu looked at this document, and his face became even more ugly. Three of the eight Fengyang guards were involved, and one was added, almost half of them. This was a direct slap in his face.
Jian Yi also felt uncomfortable. The Ministry of Personnel selected and evaluated officials. The list of officials involved in this document was rated as average or excellent by the Ministry of Personnel. Some people were even promoted by the Ministry of Personnel, but now facts have proved that the officials No, I was lonely in the official assessment.
Dai Deyi is even more miserable. He is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is responsible for problems in the Yangzhou officialdom. He is responsible for problems with the Lianghuai Salt Administration. He is also responsible for problems at the Qingjiang Shipyard...
It would be okay if they were all generals in the guards, with Xu Huizu taking the blame, but now it is an officialdom problem, a civil servant problem, and no one can be found to take the blame.
All three of them suffered a miserable life. In desperation, they could only ask for a harsher punishment. How could they deserve the grievances of being punished if they were not severely punished?
Zhu Yunwen looked at these three old fools and punished them one by one without mentioning their own responsibilities at all. You are asking for a penalty of one and a half years' salary.
Soon after, Zhu Yunwen issued a decree that all officials involved in the case would have their property confiscated and their families would be sent to Peking. All generals involved in the case would have their properties confiscated and their families would be sent to Jiaozhi.
The cold punishment frightened the accompanying officials. They just extended their hands to the Qingjiang Shipyard. They just embezzled a little and were reduced to the level of distribution. It is indeed too serious...
Zhu Yunwen didn't care about moving these people. Anyway, Peiping needed more people, and the more Han people in Jiaozhi, the better.
The Qingjiang Shipyard took back a batch of ships and began to embark on a steady road of shipbuilding. A number of officials and generals were dealt with, and no one dared to peep at the Qingjiang Shipyard. The demand for river boats among the people was increasing day by day, and businessmen were even offering high prices. Boat. Considering the operation of Qingjiang Shipyard, Sun Rui wrote a document requesting Zhu Yunwen to sell a batch of river boats. Zhu Yunwen approved Qingjiang Shipyard to sell one-third of the boats, and the rest were allocated to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household to meet the needs of the imperial court for transporting grain, The need for transportation.
Fengyang Imperial Tomb.
This is Zhu Yunwen's first visit to Fengyang Mausoleum, where Zhu Yuanzhang's parents, brother and sister-in-law are buried.
Zhu Yuanzhang had deep feelings for his parents, which can be seen from the construction of the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum.
The construction of the Xiaoling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty started in the 14th year of Hongwu, while the construction of the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum started in the 26th year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang was still the King of Wu and had not proclaimed himself emperor.
In the second year of Hongwu's reign, the central capital was built, and the tombs of the Ming emperors were repaired and strengthened. In the eighth year of Hongwu, the Central Capital was in ruins. It was a waste to leave many materials there, and it was time-consuming and laborious to move them away. With a stroke of his pen, Zhu Yuanzhang gave all the materials to his parents, and the Ming Emperor's Tomb was expanded again.
It was not until the twelfth year of Hongwu that the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum was completed.
Calculating carefully, it took thirteen spring and autumn years from the start to the completion of the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum.
The Ming Emperor's Mausoleum is located in the south and faces north and east. It is not a simple mound with above-ground buildings and an underground palace. It has one more layer of walls than the two layers of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. It has three layers of walls and an earthen city outside. It has a circumference of 2 Eighteen li, the middle is the brick city, with a circumference of six li, and the middle is the imperial city, with a circumference of 251 steps.
There are special imperial mausoleum guards guarding the place. The mission of more than 5,000 people is to help the old Zhu family look after the tomb.
Zhu Yunwen led people to enter from the main red gate of the north gate of Tucheng, pass through the Red Bridge, Lingxing Gate, Zhuancheng Minglou, Shinto, and Yuqiao, and arrive at the Golden Gate of the Imperial City. Entering the imperial city, they walked on the Shinto of the Imperial Tomb. Behind the palace is the mausoleum. In front of the mausoleum, there stands a tall imperial mausoleum stele and pairs of stone statues.
The imperial mausoleum stele consists of five parts: the stele head, the cloud plate, the stele body, the hump and the Aozu. It is two feet, two feet and six inches high. On the forehead of the stele, there are six characters "Stele of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum". These six characters were written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. write.
What concerned Zhu Yunwen most was not these six words, but the inscription.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally asked a civil servant to write the inscription, probably because he felt that he did not have much knowledge, but the inscription written by the civil servant was too gorgeous and whitewashed the reality. It seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang's parents had a bad life during his lifetime, but they were blessed and had good fortune. Great luck, I have accumulated eight lifetimes of blessings to give birth to Zhu Yuanzhang. You should also be smiling down there...
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely depressed about this kind of article. When his descendants visited the mausoleum and saw the inscription, he thought that the ancestors of the old Zhu family were all landlords and could not warn their descendants at all, so he wrote the inscription himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a man who dared to act, and he was also a man different from other emperors. After he became the emperor, he wanted to cover up and hide his previous scandals and hard work, for fear of being known by others. When he wrote an inscription, he often wrote " Whitewashing and praising merits and flattery are not true." But Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid. He directly wrote about his own background and experienced it personally. He had no way to bury his parents after they died, became a monk to survive, begged for food, joined the rebel army, crossed the river eastward, and unified the country...
For example, "After the burial, the family is in panic. Brother Zhong is young and weak, and his livelihood is not good... The people here are short of food, and grass and trees are food. I have nothing left, and I am so frightened..." Another example is "Since I was stupid, morning and evening, day after day The Japanese army marched. The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were punished, and the soldiers were in a state of disarray... Before the moon was over, they gathered in large numbers, and the red flags covered the fields and filled the hills..."
The desolate writing style and the ups and downs experienced can be said to be a true portrayal of Zhu Yuanzhang, without a single artificial word.
Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di were the protagonists of the visit to the mausoleum, and the etiquette officials had to be busy. After some etiquette, the sun was about to get off work, and the etiquette department shouted loudly: "The ceremony is over."
In the opinion of many accompanying officials, the end point of Zhu Yunwen's northern tour was Fengyang, and visiting the mausoleum was the purpose. Now that Fengyang has also seen it and the mausoleum has been visited, it is time to return to Nanjing.
But Zhu Yunwen did not intend to stop there. Facing the expectant eyes of the officials, Zhu Yunwen gave them another new direction: "The visit to the mausoleum has ended, and it stands to reason that the carriage should return to Beijing. But I am worried about the immigrant people, and I am also worried about it. Regarding the dredging of the Huitong River, since we have already arrived in Fengyang, why not take a walk north to see how the people there live."
As soon as this statement came out, there were many opponents.
Huang Guan, the Minister of Rites, was a little anxious and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the envoys of King Anke Timur of Hami have passed Kaifeng and are heading to the capital. If the Emperor goes north at this time, he will not be able to meet his envoys."
Zhu Yunwen said calmly: "Oh, they are just envoys from King Hami. Is it worth going to the capital to wait for them? Find someone to send a message and ask them to wait in Jining."
Huang Guan was speechless. They had traveled thousands of miles, and even the capital did not allow them to go there. They were directly received in other places. This was not etiquette.
Hou Tai, the Minister of Punishment, also objected to Zhu Yunqi's continued march north: "There are many affairs in the Huaihe River and the court is busy. The emperor should live in the capital, just like the North Pole does not move, and the stars guard it, so that all people can prosper."
Zhu Yunwen frowned, you are a student of criminal law, why are you developing astronomy across industries? "If I visit again, I'm afraid there are still many things hidden from me! You and Bao Zhao are in charge of the Criminal Department, and so many officials know the law and break the law, you really don't Responsibility?"
Hou Tai was stunned. He dealt with prisoners. How to prevent prisoners from committing crimes was not a matter of the Criminal Department. Why did this fire burn on him...
The censor objected: it would cost the country's children.
Zhu Yunwen: I paid for it out of my own pocket.
The censor objected again: the journey was long and unsafe.
Liu Changge: Fuck you, is safety your business?
The third censor objected: no one would approve the documents, which would delay things.
Zhu Yunwen: Work overtime at night to approve.
A bunch of reasons were refuted one by one, until all the public commentators who made a living by speaking had no reason to object.
Okay, I can’t stop it anymore, then let it go, you boss.
Zhu Yunwen finalized the direction and said: "The carriage returned to the capital from Fengyang and announced to the outside world that the northern tour was over and that I had returned to the capital. If someone leaked the news and leaked the news, haha..."
Continuing to go north without a carriage, Zhu Yunwen could not take everyone with him, so he discussed with all the officials and decided that most of the officials would return to Beijing. The other officials would be divided into four groups to inspect the local areas. On October 20, they would meet in Jining, Shandong and.
The first road: Zhu Yunwen, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and the queen, Xianfei and others.
Second route: Zhu Di, Xie Jin, officials of the Six Ministries.
The third route: Ru Yu, Xu Huizu, officials of the Sixth Ministry.
Fourth Road: Dai Deyi, Jian Yi, officials of the Six Ministries.
During this grand inspection, all officials were incognito and went deep into the local area. Their identities were not revealed unless absolutely necessary. They were all accompanied by people from the Security Bureau to be responsible for safety.
Let's just talk about Zhu Yunwen's journey. After leaving Fengyang City, Zhu Yunwen did not rush northward, but unexpectedly chose to go westward and went to Huaiyuan County.
In the first year of Jianwen, the dykes in Huaiyuan burst, and the imperial court provided work-relief services and moved many Huaiyuan people away. In order to increase the population of Huaiyuan, the imperial court resettled 800 Shanxi households here when they immigrated to Shanxi.
