As everyone knows, the emperor of the old Zhu family was obsessed with swish from the very beginning.
When Zhu Yuanzhang set his salary, he did not consider the living conditions of officials at all. Moreover, during the Hongwu Dynasty, you could not get a little money that had nothing to do with normal income as allowed by the policy, otherwise it would be like peeling off the skin and filling it with grass.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang could not be too kind to the officials, but he looked at the common people with a high regard and paid more attention to them.
I am a commoner in Huaiyou, what more can the world do to me?
He was born in poverty and had sympathy for the working people, but he was very dissatisfied with the officials who ruined his family.
In subsequent generations, due to the unhealthy financial development of the Ming Dynasty, even if they wanted to increase the salaries of officials, they could not do it.
A reward of gold and silver was added to the process of giving banquets in the Huagai Palace, which was considered a new beginning for the officials.
And Zhu Jianshen also knew that the country was too big and there were too many officials. It was too difficult to change the entire salary package. He could only start with the rewards at the end of the year.
Zhu Jianshen didn't stay long in Huagai Hall, he left early.
After Zhu Jianshen left, the banquet reached its climax. Perhaps because of Zhu Jianshen's intention, the banquet was very sumptuous, and the wine was well prepared. His Majesty was not in the palace, so the officials could talk freely.
Han Yong sat not far from Yu Qian, Li Xian and others.
Although Zhu Jianshen had summoned Han Yong alone to inquire about the affairs of the Ministry of War, it was only a few times, and all of them were on official business. As for His Majesty's character, Han Yong could only make his own judgment based on the country's major affairs in recent years and Prince Ning's affairs. a judgment.
He is young and courageous, has no sand in his eyes, attaches great importance to military affairs, and has his own ambitions.
This is His Majesty the Emperor in Han Yong's eyes.
When he met the emperor, Han Yong could also feel that His Majesty was calm and very proud of Renxuan's rule, which made the Ming Dynasty prosperous and powerful. However, after being proud, he also had his own opinion, that is, he believed that Renxuan's rule was to shrink the border in the north and abandon the Hetao. In exchange for large tracts of land such as Annan and Liaodong.
This shocked Han Yong, and from this moment of words, he could infer that His Majesty's ambition this time was to regain the territory that Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong had been forced to lose.
Before Han Yong entered the capital, Zhu Jianshen had already worked hard on the abandoned lands again. Shi Heng and Shi Biao's uncles and nephews spent millions on money and food, and fought for several years. To a certain extent, A large area of Nurgan Dusi's territory has been restored.
And the rule implemented is no longer the indulgent management like Nurgan Dusi.
Zhu Jianshen revealed this information to Han Yong in order to make him mentally prepared and let him get into the role quickly.
"Yu Taibao, I would like to propose a toast to you." Han Yong picked up the wine glass in his hand and said to Yu Qian who was several people away.
Many people congratulated Yu Qian on the New Year, but no one actually came to Yu Qian for a drink.
There were many people who came to drink with Xu Youzhen, but Yu Qian only drank three drinks, two drinks when His Majesty was toasting, and one drink with Li Xian beside him.
Yu Qian picked up the wine glass, smiled at Han Yong, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Yu Taibao, I came to the capital and didn't understand much about the Ministry of War. Only with Yu Taibao's guidance and help can I understand it as soon as possible. I will give you another drink. Yu Taibao is free, and I will finish the drink."
After finishing speaking, Han Yong drank another glass of wine.
"Han Shangshu, slow down, this is in the palace, you can't get drunk."
"Yes, Yu Taibao, the subordinate officials are clear and know what they are doing."
Yu Qian looked at Han Yong and nodded. In fact, Yu Qian did provide a lot of help to Han Yong. When he looked at Han Yong, he seemed to see his younger self, and he really liked Han Yong. BIquGe.biz
But Han Yong is good at everything, but he is too young.
At the age of thirty-five, due to his past military achievements, King Ning was specially promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War by Zhu Jianshen. Historically, Han Yong came to Beijing two years later to assist the Ministry of War.
Why did Han Yong keep looking for Yu Qian to drink? It was because Yu Qian was Han Yong's idol. He had fought against King Ning, but Yu Taibao had argued with King Ning Quan twenty years ago. This was his predecessor. And the most important thing is that although Han Yong was also a scholar, he always followed the local army to sort out the military affairs. His position as governor of Jiangxi was earned through hard work. He was also a capable and courageous Confucian general of the Ming Dynasty.
It is the scholar who can turn the tide from falling, and hold the building up before it collapses. No, this is a dream that no man can refuse.
Since entering Beijing, this is the first time Han Yong has eaten at the same table as Yu Taibao, and he must drink a few.
Although Xu Youzhen has been talking here, his mind has not been on this. He has been waiting for some young eunuch to come over, hold his hand in his ear, and say softly: "Censor of Xudu, Your Majesty has summoned you. Go."
Moreover, Xu Youzhen had an intuition that Zhu Jianshen would definitely see him today. After some encouragement, he didn't wait long before a young eunuch came and said that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned him at Wuying Hall.
This made Xu Youzhen very excited. After showing off in front of everyone, she followed the little eunuch and left.
The officials looked at Xu Youzhen's behavior and felt close to him. The officials who accompanied Xu Youzhen in the fight couldn't help but nod in envy, while those who were beaten by Xu Youzhen or who refused to accept it all sneered, thinking that it was a villain who got his way.
And Han Yong is the latter.
Han Yong looked at Xu Youzhen's back and frowned. He whispered to Peng Shi beside him: "Peng Fuchen, although I met Xu Youzhen once in Jiangxi, I don't know much about him. He has always been so arrogant in the capital. ?"
Peng Shi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty's favor is the same for anyone. Look at the ministers in this palace, who dares to drink like Xu Youzhen? How arrogant."
"I really don't know etiquette..."
"Han Shangshu, listen to my advice and don't mess with him. This guy holds a grudge." Peng Shi said with a wry smile.
Listening to Peng Shi's words, Han Yong disagreed.
In Wuying Palace.
Zhu Jianshen held a memorial in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Not long after, Zhang Bao entered the palace from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, the censor of Xudu is here."
Zhu Jianshen put down the memorial: "Let him come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xu Youzhen entered quickly, and when she saw Zhu Jianshen, she quickly saluted and shouted long live her life.
"Ping Shen, I will give you a seat for the censor of Xudu, give me a seat."
Zhang Bao personally brought a chair to Xu Youzhen.
After Xu Youzhen said her thanks, she sat down.
"Censor of Xudu, you have worked hard this year. You really can only do the things in Yingtian Mansion. Even if Yu Taibao comes over, you may not be able to do that well."
"Your Majesty praised you. It is my duty to serve your Majesty..."
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet..." Zhu Jianshen interrupted Xu Youzhen, and then said with a serious face: "Do you know how Duke Cheng Guo died?"
Xu Youzhen frowned. How could such a good person be talking about Duke Cheng? Suddenly something moved in his mind. Could it be that Duke Cheng didn't die suddenly like the rumors in the outside world, but he broke some national law and was sentenced to death by Zhu Jianshen? …
"I said that I can't do it with Taibao. It doesn't mean that I can't implement the new tax system. It's just that I can't do it with Jin Yiwei choosing a beautiful lady."
"Xu Youzhen, Xu Youzhen, you are so playful. You let a prostitute enter the government office through the back door. Hey, how unbecoming is this? How can any ordinary person do such a thing?"
"I'm telling you, Duke Cheng Guo died because of female sex. You look at the stars every day and think that your astronomical skills are the best. You don't understand the simple and vulgar principles that water will overflow when it is full and the moon will lose when it is full."
"When the sun is at its midpoint, it is waxing; when the moon is waxing, it is eclipsing; when the sky and the earth are waxing and waning, the news comes from time to time, but what about people? You understand this, why do you still do it after you understand it?"
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen was confused.
It's shameful, it's shameful. Zhao Cong is really not a good person. She paid him hush money. After a brief moment of panic, Xu Youzhen stood up from her seat and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me."
"This is your private matter. I shouldn't interfere with it. My dear sir, you are my important minister. You should use your limited energy on the right path. This matter needs to be controlled and controlled. Duke Cheng Guo just won't listen. I advise him to play tricks with me after I have finished telling him. Now that Duke Cheng has passed away, the deceased is the most important. It is not convenient for me to talk about the details. However, Xu Aiqing, I hope you can control yourself and do the same. "
"I still need you to do many, many things. I don't want to see you lose weight day by day in two years, becoming seriously ill, unable to do anything, just waiting to die." Zhu Jianshen's voice became louder and louder.
Xu Youzhen became more and more frightened when she heard this.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I must listen to Your Majesty."
Zhu Jian sighed deeply and said slowly: "You don't know what you are doing. Think about it carefully in the future."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Get up, it's been a hard year indeed."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Youzhen stood up and sat down slowly.
Now Xu Youzhen is really ashamed. Your Majesty reminds you that if this kind of thing gets out, how will Xu Youzhen get around in the future...
For Zhu Jianshen, it was embarrassing to mention this matter, but Xu Youzhen was now one of his own, and a capable one of his own, so he really didn't want Xu Youzhen to die long ago.
It was a loss to Daming, and it was also a loss to himself.
Zhu Jianshen was also a man, so he knew that his words would have a small effect, but they would definitely have an effect. At least they would allow Xu Youzhen to maintain health in advance and pay attention to the changes in her body, which would also play a role in restraint.
After finishing the beating, Zhu Jianshen began to chat with Xu Youzhen again, spoke highly of Xu Youzhen's work this year, and then talked about next year's work arrangements.
Xu Youzhen still has to stay in Yingtian Mansion and preside over the new tax system reform in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningxia and other places.
The burden is still heavy.
However, next year Zhu Jianshen also gave Xu Youzhen greater authority, such as the right to return to Beijing three times a year.
Here, a banquet is given at the Huagai Hall of the Ming Dynasty Palace, and Seoul, which also belongs to the Chinese cultural circle, is also celebrating the New Year.
In fact, North Korea has always attached great importance to the New Year since the Sui Dynasty, and regarded the Lunar New Year as the highest festival.
In Seoul, the beautiful Jincheng Lord Li Yu, dressed in red, entered Zhao Fu's mansion amidst the sound of firecrackers...
