After Xu Youzhen returned to Ningbo, the deadline for the official implementation of the new tax system was advanced three months, and officials at all levels began to work overtime again.
Xu Youzhen's love-stealing disappointed many people, and of course it also aroused dissatisfaction from some people.
However, the imperial court was furious because of the incident in Xiangyang, and His Majesty the Emperor showed his ruthless side in front of hundreds of officials and ministers. Now even with excuses, the memorials issued by these civil servants are as soft as grandma's house.
The memorial of dissatisfaction with Xu Youzhen's seizure of love was like making things up.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jianshen was looking at these memorials with a serious face.
"The system of rituals and music comes from the emperor. Three years of filial piety fulfills the heart of an innocent man. Your Majesty has reused the censor of Xudu for his love. I am afraid that the censor of Xudu will be dissatisfied and make mistakes in handling affairs."
"The trend of seizing love and reusing it has been eroded during the Zhengtong years. Since His Majesty came to the throne, there has never been a case of seizing the love of an official. This time it sets a precedent for the imperial censor of Xudu to steal love. I am worried that it will affect your Majesty's reputation among the people."
"Your Majesty, the imperial censor of Xudu has been re-elected because of his affection. In the future, when hundreds of officials are worried, they may also hope that he can be retained in his post because of his affection. This would be contrary to the loyalty and filial piety of the Ming Dynasty in governing the world."
Zhu Jianshen looked at these memorials without any fluctuation in his heart. It was not unfair at all to say that they bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Now there is no leader among the Qingliu in the court. At this time, the voice of the Qingliu of civil servants seems insignificant.
Zhu Jianshen ignored all these memorials and then looked at the memorials of Li Bing, governor of Shaanxi and Henan.
Although the new tax system in the Three Prefectures had some twists and turns, in the twelfth year of Chenghua, it was able to become a custom-made tax law, reducing the pressure on ordinary people.
Then Zhu Jianshen read the memorial sent by Li Xian from Huguang. Because Jinyiwei was in the process of rectification, all his news came from normal official notifications.
The problem of food and clothing for the people of Xiangyang was alleviated, and Li Xian's request was that Zhu Jianshen exempt Xiangyang from taxes for five years, so as to appease people's hearts and relieve the people's poverty.
After Zhu Jianshen read it, he directly asked Zhang Bao to write the imperial edict, which was then handed over to the cabinet Yu Qian, who sent it to Xiangyang.
Then the memorial from Zhao Fu came from North Korea. Zhao Fu had already surrendered to the Japanese pirates, but these Japanese pirates were harder to fight than the North Korean soldiers. The North Korean army led by Zhao Fu suffered hundreds of losses in their first encounter. People, but the Japanese pirates retreated to Busan and did not dare to go out. Zhao Fu used the excuse of annihilating the Japanese pirates in Busan to force the North Korean officials along the way to give food and money to the people. After arriving in Busan, they became a regular army of 20,000 and 10,000. Follow the army.
After Zhu Jianshen read Zhao Fu's memorial, he sighed. These Japs were quite capable. He immediately thought of Cao Jixiang's warships docked at Tianjin Guard. Those warships were equipped with all kinds of artillery. Although the current artillery was very powerful for the people in Busan City. It cannot have a decisive effect, but it can blockade Busan. It can not only cut off the retreat of these little devils, but also block their reinforcements. The most important thing is that it can train the navy of the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Jianshen had this idea, he summoned Chen Ying and asked his opinion in the Palace of Qianqing. It took too long to recruit generals from Fujian, so he could only select navy generals from Qingzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture in Shandong Province.
Chen Ying recommended Yang Zheng, deputy envoy of Shandong Haidao, to select generals and organize naval personnel to go to Busan.
After Zhu Jianshen adopted it, he handed the matter over to Chen Ying. Within two months, a large fleet would be formed to completely blockade Busan.
Shandong's navy has always been very strong, also because of the inland sea between Liaodong and Korea.
The North Koreans have been bragging about the Battle of Luliang for centuries, in which the Guangdong Navy and the Shandong Navy were involved, and they occupied the main positions. Otherwise, it would be no different to achieve complete victory with the help of North Korea's few small broken ships. A fool talks about his dreams.
Shandong Navy admirals Chen Lin, Deng Zilong, and Yi Sunchen were the commanders of China and North Korea, while Governor Konishi and Yoshihiro Shimazu were the commanders of the little devils.
During the naval battle, the Ming Dynasty Navy, under the command of Chen Lin, had 23,000 naval soldiers and more than 500 large and small warships, distributed at the seaports of Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang. It prevented the Japanese pirates from marching on the sea and completed the complete blockade of the south coast of North Korea.
Admiral Yi Sun-shin of the Korean Navy was shot to death before the battle was over. In the ensuing battle, the Ming army advanced by sea and defeated the Japanese pirate leader Shi Manzi and captured the Japanese commander Ping Zhengcheng alive. , Ping Zhengxiu and executed, and attacked the Sunchon Japanese pirate army with the Ming army on land, achieving a complete victory in the Noryang Sea Battle, and also helped Korea complete its restoration.
Zhu Jianshen believed in his own strength, but he would not blindly trust him. Before Chen Ying left, he asked Yang Zheng, the deputy envoy of Shandong Haidao, and the naval generals he selected to give him a separate ceremony before setting off. Memorial, tell me how to fight.
In fact, at this time, the Japanese pirates were all in small boats, and the threat to the Ming Dynasty Navy was very low. However, Zhu Jianshen asked the Shandong Navy to do these things, and the purpose of training was far greater than the strategic purpose.
After Chen Ying left, Zhu Jianshen read the memorial for a while. After reading the memorial that was transferred from the cabinet today, it was already evening.
He stood up and stretched his muscles, and then looked at his treasure shelf. The dazzling array of precious porcelain could not attract Zhu Jianshen's attention.
Of course, in Zhu Jianshen's opinion, you should do things at a certain age. When you grow up, you can no longer be like a child.
Zhu Jianshen has not touched these porcelain treasures for a year. Not only that, when Zhu Ji finished dealing with Ying Ning Tiancheng's matter, he obtained the authentic painting of the Song Dynasty emperor and presented it to Zhu Jianshen. Such treasures also appeared in Zhu Jianshen's eyes. It was insignificant, and Zhu Jianshen also felt that it was somewhat unlucky to have this brother's calligraphy and painting hanging in his palace. At that moment, he hung this painting by Song Huizong in the Nangong Palace, as a way to pay filial piety to his father in advance...
After Zhu Jianshen stretched his muscles, he took Zhang Bao to Kunning Palace, hoping to have a carrot-pulling competition with the Queen. However, after arriving at Kunning Palace, he felt that there was something wrong with Queen Zhang Yan's face.
Then after asking, Zhu Jianshen found out that half an hour ago, the imperial doctor checked the pulse and the queen was happy.
After listening, Zhu Jianshen was a little confused. Was his target shooting so accurate?
Zhang Yan is not yet seventeen years old, I am really...
Of course, Zhu Jianshen expressed his intention to know that the Queen was pregnant. After discussing with the Empress Dowager, he increased the amount of silver to the Queen from the initial four hundred taels per year to six hundred taels. Of course, he also sent someone to the Zhang family to announce the good news. And gave him a reward of three hundred taels of silver.
The fact that the queen is pregnant is indeed a good thing for the harem, because from Xuanzong to Zhengtong, the two generations of emperors in the Ming Dynasty did not have any legitimate heirs.
According to the old man in the palace, this is a good sign.
………………
Zhu Ji investigated the Jinyiwei, and the first thing he did was to demote all the ten current Jinyiwei Qianhu.
Then a long internal investigation began, which lasted for half a year. Seven officials were reinstated and three were directly thrown to Pyongyang.
The thousands of households in Jinyiwei are all talented people. These people arrest people, have good reconnaissance methods, and are very scheming. If they commit crimes, it will be difficult to catch them one by one.
Zhu Ji also used the stupidest method in his investigation, verifying each item from the inspection files handled internally.
Even if the three Jinyi Guards Qianhu who entered Pyongyang did not make any big mistakes, there were still some unclear things in the files.
Beizhen Fusi, lobby.
Zhu Ji sat at the top, and below him sat a gloomy-looking middle-aged man.
"After the meeting tomorrow, I will send your name to you. If His Majesty agrees, then you will be the commander of the Jinyi Guards."
"Thank you, Commander, for your cultivation."
"You still have merit this time, but you need to change your temper..."
"Yes, Sir Commander." The man said respectfully.
"Your Majesty said something yesterday. After Commander Liu arrives in Pyongyang, North Korea, he will perform meritorious service, form a court guard, and supervise North Korea's appointed officials. The future vassal king will still have to send some people to help."
"Master Commander, what do you mean?" the middle-aged man asked quickly.
"If you are willing to stay in North Korea for a year or two, the position of commanding officer will definitely be yours before departure. If you are unwilling to go to North Korea, the success rate of this matter is less than 50%."
