I am the king of the dead

Page 369

Zhu Qiyu said with a sneer: "They all say you are a Gu lady."

Ran Siniang just laughed softly and said nothing more.

There are always some people who are barking and barking, and they don't know what they are barking. They don't dare to resist His Majesty, and they always find some easy to bully people to talk about.

For example, Ran Siniang is easy to bully.

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes, this is the imperial study room and the office, and looking at the mountains and mountains gathered together, there might be an accident.

He whispered: "The brave are angry and draw their blades towards the stronger ones, and the cowardly are angry, but draw their blades towards the weaker ones."

Ran Siniang secretly remembered this sentence, and said with emotion: "Those people are nothing more than relying on the noble and bullying the humble, bullying the weak, bullying the weak and fearing the hard."

"Why don't they dare to say His Majesty?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a muffled laugh: "Why don't you dare, they scold me every day for the king of subjugation."

"Then His Majesty is always right." Ran Siniang squeezed Zhu Qiyu's shoulder hard, and said with a smile on her face.

It's a pity that the veil hides this smile.

"Aren't you willing to take off your hat?" Zhu Qiyu asked with his eyes closed.

Ran Siniang said helplessly: "The concubine still has something to do."

"What if you can't finish it all your life?" Zhu Qiyu asked back.

Ran Siniang paused her hands, and said softly: "This is also very good, no one dares to marry a concubine after meeting a domineering majesty, and you don't have to think so much about the concubine, anyway, one day it will be your majesty's. "

Zhu Qiyu grabbed Ran Siniang's hand and motioned her to stop. He sat up straight and said, "Okay, I've had enough rest. From now on, I can only see you at noon."

Ran Siniang wanted to pull back her hand, but under shame and anger, she didn't have much strength, so she whispered, "Why?"

Zhu Qiyu sat in front of the case, picked up a few memorials, and explained: "Because something will happen sooner or later."

Ran Siniang thought for a while, understood His Majesty's meaning, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "I study ink for Your Majesty."

Her voice was very low, and she said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "I will belong to His Majesty sooner or later."

"What did you say?" Zhu Qiyu picked up a memorial from Hainan, and it was the memorial of Governor Dong Xing.

Dong Xing followed Ningyang Hou Chen Mao to Fujian to suppress the rebellion in the 13th year of Zhengtong, and then went south to Guangzhou to suppress the rebellion in Jingtai for three years, stayed in Guangzhou to wipe out the remnants, and acted as the commander-in-chief to guard the border.

Huang Xiaoyang, who was entrenched in Qiongzhou, surrendered.

What's more outrageous is that Huang Xiaoyang and his group of rebels didn't know that Daming had changed emperors until Ningyang Hou Chen Mao led his army to quell Liu Pu and Guangxi's rebellion...

It was Wang Ao who was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He remembered the group of rebels entrenched in the Qiongzhou government. After repeated communication, Huang Xiaoyang finally decided to surrender to Daming.

If it weren't for the sudden death of Yang Xinmin, the governor of Guangzhou, the censor of Youqian capital, Huang Xiaoyang would have surrendered in the 14th year of Zhengtong.

Yang Xinmin's death was very strange, but it took Jingtai four years to quell the Nanya Rebellion, so there was no way to investigate this case.

Hainan Island, called Qiongzhou Mansion in Ming Dynasty, is across the sea from Leizhou Mansion.

The situation in Qiongzhou is complicated. Before the Yuan Dynasty, it had always been a place of exile. For example, Su Shi was once exiled in Qiongzhou, and his life was difficult.

After Hongwu promulgated the "Lao Hainan Guard Command Edict" in the early years, Qiongzhou Prefecture appeared on the stage of history for the first time. The management of Hainan by Daming was extremely loose.

Especially after losing the navy, Hainan almost became a place of exile again.

From the first year of Hongwu to the fourth year of Jingtai in Qiongzhou Prefecture, only one student named Qiu Jun became a Jinshi, and now he follows Chen Xunxiu's "Huanyu Tongzhi".

With no one in the court, Qiongzhou Prefecture is naturally in a state of loose management.

The prefect of Qiongzhou is also called the prefect of Fuli, because Qiongzhou prefectures are all Li people, which is very similar to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou.

From Liu Ming, the magistrate of Fuli during the Yongle period, to the 11th year of Yongle, more than 40 hereditary native officials in Qiongzhou Prefecture were appointed as Fuli officials, and Lijia and Dutu blossomed everywhere among the people.

In the 12 years of Yongle's Qingtian Liding, Qiongzhou Prefecture had a total of 25 households, with a total of more than 15 people, and Lijia and Dutu managed more than [-] households, with a total of [-] people.

The native officials started their first rebellion during the Xuande period, but they were quickly suppressed by Emperor Xuande, and a large number of hereditary native officials were removed, all of whom were Fuli native officials.

From the fourth year of Xuande, roads were opened, prefectures and counties were established, immigrants were cultivated, and schools and education were established. Until the fifth year of Zhengtong, this kind of land reform in Hainan came to an abrupt end.

The Li District began to expand continuously, and Huang Xiaoyang was hiding in the Li District, so they didn't know that the Ming Dynasty changed emperor...

Until the two major armies put down the rebellion, the rebels in Li District of Hainan thought that such a big movement was coming to beat them up.

In the end, after a long time of commotion, it was not. Only then did I know that the world had changed. Under the persuasion of the governor Dong Xing, Huang Xiaoyang voted.

Zhu Qiyu paid more attention to the Ming Dynasty's policy of reforming the land and returning it to the local people. A good policy suddenly failed to be implemented.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is four words, Xingwen and Wu.

The reform of the land and return to the exile requires military force to guarantee it, because there will be various chieftain leaders who refuse to accept the reform and return to the exile, coercing the Li people and the Miao people to rebel and make trouble.

The general trend of prospering Wen and Wu was under the general trend, and the consistent reform from the Yongle period to the Xuande period came to an abrupt end.

Zhu Qiyu put down Dong Xing's memorabilia, then looked at Ran Siniang who was wearing red sleeves and asked, "What did you just say?"

"It's nothing." After finishing the research, Ran Siniang said with a smile, "I will resign as a concubine."

Your Majesty handles state affairs, and the six relatives don't recognize her, so it's better for her not to cause trouble for His Majesty.

When Zhu Qiyu was dealing with state affairs, Wang Zhi found Hu Wei.

Hu Wei's affairs in the Ministry of Rites are almost handed over to Wu Ning and Liu Ji, the left servants of the Ministry of Rites. Apart from teaching in Tai'an Palace, he is rarely responsible for the specific affairs of the Ministry.

Therefore, it was at Hu's mansion that Wang Zhi went to find Hu, and Hu made a pot of good tea.

"When was the last time we sat together drinking tea?" Hu Wei poured Wang Zhi a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

Wang Zhi thought for a while and said, "Last time."

Wang Zhi was in the Ministry of Rites when he became an official from the Imperial Academy. At that time, Hu Wei was already a minister of the Ministry of Rites. It was the orthodox three years.

The last time I drank tea was ten years ago. At that time, the two were still superiors and subordinates, and now they went to Tai'an Palace to teach the emperor's heir together.

"Hu Shangshu is really an evergreen tree." Wang Zhi said with emotion.

Hu Yan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that I, Hu, is good at self-protection. In fact, how is Hu Mou good at self-protection? Your Majesty can still use my old body, just listen to it in front of the emperor."

"The self-protection method of the six ministers is different from that of the ministers and workers. As long as your majesty does not drive you away, you can stay in this position of the second rank, and no one can drive you away."

"Stay till death."

Wang Zhi said dully, "Isn't this a rascal?"

Hu Yan said with a muffled smile, "Aren't I just a rascal? Isn't it all these years?"

……

The reformation of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Hainan was a consistent policy during the Yongle period. Unfortunately, in the fifth year of Zhengtong, with the promotion of Wen and Wu, there was no force to support it. The Miao Li rebellion on the ground became an incurable wound on Daming's body.

Chapter 423 Admonishing the Ruler of the Country

Hu Wei still wanted to explain to Wang Zhi how the courtiers survived.

Wang Zhi was just a day-to-day person before, and he will face ups and downs in the future. Obviously, Hu Min told him to be shameless, and he didn't know how to be shameless.

Hu Wei thought for a while and planned to come up with his own shameless cheats and tell Wang Zhi exactly how to shamelessly hang out in court.

He said with a smile: "Serving your majesty, you should use sincerity, not lies. If you treat each other with sincerity, there will be no gap. Even if you are disobedient, don't deceive your majesty."

"Even if there is a small fault, but you can't make a mistake that damages the integrity. This is loyalty and wisdom."

Wang Zhi frowned and asked, "Can you be disobedient? Can you make mistakes?"

Hu Wei nodded and said: "At the Salt and Iron Conference before, I said a lot that the laws of the ancestors should not be violated. This is disobedience. I also accepted bribes from Japanese silver before. This is a mistake."

"But His Majesty has forgiven."

When His Majesty investigated the Confucian government's Japanese silver case, Hu Wei was the only person in the dynasty who accepted bribes from Japanese silver, but the incident was not deep, and the stolen money was paid in time, so he was not held accountable.

The reason why Hu Wei was pardoned was simple. He received the money during the orthodox years.

Hu Wei summed it up and said: "This is the so-called: it is advisable to be honest in everything, since there is no gap in sincerity, so it is better to be disobedient than to deceive. Don't compromise your integrity with small mistakes. Loyalty is wisdom. How can arrogance last long? "

"Therefore, I ask the monarchs and ministers to secure their positions, and keep their positions. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and stop near the abyss. Therefore, Yi said that the Qianlong should not be used, but the Kanglong has regrets."

Hu Yi translated what he said, that is how to be a minister and why you should do it.

Wang Zhi savored it carefully and said, "I would like to be taught."

"Your Majesty, if there is a gap, make it clear, so that he can't get in." Hu Wei said with a lot of emotion: "The way of Yu Xia seems to be cumbersome, but in the final analysis, isn't it just a gap?"

"If there is a rift between each other, we should make it clear and slander cannot enter, then there is no chance to take advantage of it."

"Your Majesty is always like this. A few days ago, Your Majesty asked Yu Shaobao what he was doing. Neither Xing'an nor I knew, so His Majesty asked Yu Shaobao directly."

"Your Majesty has always been like this, open and aboveboard."

After summing up Hu's way of being an imperial servant for a long time, he finally understood the truth. The upright way is the right way, and the sacred heart is difficult. Guessing and guessing will consume each other's trust in vain. scene.

"Rewards don't worry about injustice, and punishment doesn't worry about injustice. Rewards promote virtue, punishments prohibit adultery, and distinguish good from evil. Rewards and punishments are two things." Hu Wei continued.

Wang Zhi frowned and said, "Is there reward and punishment for distinguishing between good and evil?"

Hu Wei thought for a while, took out a sandalwood box from the deepest part of the drawer, gently opened it, and said with a smile: "Look, the Qigong card!"

The glittering golden Qigong card is placed inside, and there is also a jade tablet with words engraved on it, which reads: In the second year of Jingtai, "Simple Prescriptions for Hygiene and Prevention" was presented, the merits were in Daming, and the Qigong card was specially rewarded.

Hu Yan carefully picked up the Qigong card, with an unstoppable smile on his face, he said proudly: "How many people have the Qigong card in the world? I, Hu, have one."

Of course Hu Wei is proud, this is not what he got in exchange for His Majesty, it is the normal work of the Ministry of Rites, this is the wonderful book he has written for so many years of studying medicine.

Moreover, the Tai Hospital is still checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. Hu Yi goes back to the Tai Hospital every day for a stroll, preparing to supplement this book.

"This is the reward and punishment!" Hu Wei pointed to the Qigong card, closed the sandalwood box, and put it in the drawer, smiling.

Wang Zhi nodded and said: "This is a reward and punishment. If I get a top merit card, I will be overjoyed. How dare I ask for extraordinary achievements?"

Hu Wei refilled a cup of tea for Wang Zhi and said, "Do you know what I hate the most? I hate those Taoist scholars the most. What kind of morality do they hold all day long? Who doesn't have any selfish desires?"

"Severing selfish desires is to turn Confucianism into Confucianism. It is impossible. Who doesn't want the miracle card?"

"Don't break the big integrity, don't abandon the small benefits. Advance and retreat with evidence, follow the natural law and preserve human nature, so it is the whole body technique."

"Not abandoning Xiaohui, of course, does not mean that Wang Shangshu will take the initiative to be greedy for ink, but to pursue merit and reward. Fame and fortune are all what people want."

Wang Zhi understood that he really wanted a reward card. At his age, he didn't have much pursuit of material desires, but this reward card was one of the few things he coveted.

That is His Majesty's approval, and it is also Daming's approval, each piece represents the affirmation of a lifetime.

Hu Wei went on to say: "People love me, and I love others! Use the way of others, and give back to others! Resist the enemy first, and attack others later. The Master said: Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightness, and reward virtue with virtue."

Hu Wei is not a scholar of Taoism, nor is he a scholar of heart, he is just the Minister of Rites of Daming, he has been an official for forty years, and he is an evergreen tree of Daming.

He summed up his experience in dog fighting for so many years. If he is framed by others, if he has to endure it, he will be considered easy to bully, and others will further frame him.

Fight back immediately, loudly and powerfully!

This is his way of protecting himself, isn't it just to get into the turtle shell and let others criticize him, isn't it just a quarrel?Who is afraid of whom?

At worst, there will be a fight in Fengtian Palace, and His Majesty will behead both of them and die together.

Hu Yi opened another drawer, rummaged through it for a long time and said, "Wait for me."

Hu Wei went to his small attic, dug out a set of books from inside, walked down again, returned to his living room, and said with a smile, "Thirteen Volumes of Power and Conspiracy."

"Where did it come from?" Wang Zhi was very surprised. Although Hu Wei said a few words, he still felt that there was no rules.

Reading, this thing he is good at!

"I wrote it myself when I have nothing to do." The old god Hu Wei was there, and said triumphantly: "If it wasn't for this book not being published in the elegant hall, I would definitely give it to Your Majesty for a miracle card."

This book, in the final analysis, is similar to the words of Wu Shitong in "The Legend of Gu Liang".Determine the respective duties of the monarch and his subjects, and their respective codes of conduct.

Wang Zhi flipped it a little, and said with his eyelids twitching, "After Wang has commented, I will return the book."

There are obviously not many books in the world that Wang Zhi bothered to annotate, but Hu Wei was Wang Zhi's immediate boss back then, and Hu Wei was already a very respectable official.

But the sophistication of human feelings is not comparable to Wang Zhi.

Hu Yan looked at the book and said regretfully, "It's just a pity that you can't exchange for the miracle card."

Wang Zhi asked suspiciously, "Why can't I change it?"

Hu Yan said with flickering eyes: "My book contains great treason and injustice.

The way of the monarch and the righteousness of the ministers are to stipulate the behavior and powers of the monarch.

To put it bluntly, it is to restrain the behavior of the monarch.

"Just now you said that it is better to be disobedient than to deceive, so you are afraid?" Wang Zhi didn't turn to the so-called chapter on the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, which shows that Hu Wei didn't give him all.
