How big is the amount.But no matter how much money you have, you have to spend your life. No matter how big the court movement is, as long as there are pirates, and no ships go to sea, the sea tax is useless.
The 17th century was the era of maritime hegemony. Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and later the United States established their superior power in the world in this era, and the basis of their capital accumulation was sea power.China's backwardness is to give up the ocean.
"Are we ready for a naval battle?"
The voice came in abruptly, without beginning or end.
This young man has broad shoulders and is taller than Zhu Yijun and Hua Yulou. His strong figure is the skeleton of martial arts practice all the year round. He has a handsome face, thin lips and bright eyes. He is a young and handsome warrior.
If you see Hua Yulou and still take a few unscrupulous glances, this young man, some weird people, may see something.
He is the grandson of Yang Taishi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War at that time, and Yang Tingbao, a newly promoted martial artist.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Yang Tingbao in surprise, obviously he didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.
"I guessed wildly. Just two days ago, I saw Grandpa looking at the map catalog of Haijiubian."
Yang Bo is studying coastal defense?
When Zhu Yijun heard this, there was a smile in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "Can you get on the boat now?"
Yang Tingbao's face turned blue, thinking that he would vomit to death as soon as he boarded the boat, he gritted his teeth and said, "It can be done."
"It's up to your grandfather to decide whether it will succeed or not. I can't watch you die."
Yang Tingbao is a real landlubber, he can't get on a boat, and every time he talks about going to sea, he feels sorry for him. Yang Bo once had him tied up on the boat for a day, and he fainted and vomited for a day before he could recover.
While talking, Hua Yulou, who was concentrating on reading the newspaper, uttered a sound.
"Master Pan is really powerful. It's only been a long time since I went here, and the Yellow River has been healed within a month."
Zhu Yijun remembered this, took the newspaper, smiled, and said: "He has been to the Yellow River several times before and after, and this time the situation is not serious, and the flooding of the embankment is not so serious."
"If you rely on Li Daneng's idiot, Ning Ling will be gone, and it will not be better."
Speaking of Li Daneng, this person is also an official of the Ministry of Industry, and he was the first to go there this time when the Yellow River broke its embankment.
The big companion is greedy for money, and I don't know how much benefit he has received from Li Daneng, so he recommends him as the governor of Hedao.
Li Daneng was talented and talented, but the Yellow River didn't improve for a few months. Instead, the imperial court reached out and allocated money several times.
Zhu Yijun's expression remained unchanged, obviously thinking of something bad, he always thought of his family, his country, and the world, acted justly, and fulfilled his duties. Zhang Juzheng allowed Feng Bao to act recklessly without stopping him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
As soon as these words came out, Hua Yulou squinted his eyes, didn't answer, and smiled instead: "Don't say anything else. Master Lu took the front page again, really sharp, you like it, and a role model for my generation."
Lu Ze is radical and upright, just like his teacher Gao Gong, he has a violent temper and is extremely ruthless, even though death is meaningless.
The few people who impressed Zhu Yijun the most in Huijimen back then, Lu Ze, were given to Shizhong by the Ministry of Officials.Among them, the most bloody one was carried out of the Meridian Gate.
Zhu Yijun ignored him, took a sip of tea leisurely, glanced at him, and said, "Tingbao, you have reported it."
Yang Tingbao didn't understand the situation, took a look, said 'oh', and stopped talking.
The corner of Zhu Yijun's eyes twitched, and he glanced at it with hatred, why didn't he have the consciousness to become the focus person at all.
Hua Yulou saw a person and said, "Liu Dadao? I seem to have seen him at the school last time. Do you have any impression?"
The list of recent martial arts examinations was printed on the thin paper, Yang Tingbao Fangfang was on the list, and Liu Dadao was below.
Zhu Yijun's eyes fluttered, he obviously still remembered, and said: "He is the son of General Liu Xian."
Hua Yulou praised: "I heard that the big sword in his hand is heavier than Guan Gong's, and the rotation is like flying, and his martial arts skills are terrifying."
Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, he turned his head, and said with a smile, "You have met your opponent this time."
Yang Tingbao pumped his fists. Obviously, he had heard of Liu Dadao's name. The two were the same age, and since they were both famous, they inevitably developed a competitive heart. What's more, there was Zhu Yijun here who wanted to provoke each other and fan the flames.
Yang Bo came to the Minister of the Ministry of War and fought back against Mongolia many times. After the famous general Yang Tingbao, he practiced martial arts when he was young, playing with guns and sticks, and marching in formation.In four years of Wanli, over sixteen years old, he won the first prize in the martial arts examination. In the coming year, he will be the champion in the Jinluan Palace Examination?
In the second year of Wanli, the imperial court published the Daming Daily.24 supervisors were set up in the inner court, and the bureau of newspapers and newspapers was controlled by Liang Yong, the young supervisor of the supervisor of ceremonies. All literati and court ministers could deliver articles.
People don't talk about official affairs.Literary inquisition was a nightmare for the people of the Ming Dynasty.This was especially the case during the Hongwu period. The small ones ransacked the family, and the big ones exterminated the clan. Basically, they were all exterminated.
Zhu Yijun publicized state affairs. In the past, apart from the Guozijian, the great Confucianists have found another outlet, submitting manuscripts every day. Not only can they become famous but also make money, why don't they write.
Suppression of public opinion is better than control.
After a while, several people respectfully invited them out of the Zuixian Tower at the store, and Zhu Yijun was about to return to the palace.
Yang Tingbao turned off to go to the martial arts training ground. If the imperial examination progress hadn't accompanied Zhu Yijun, he would probably have stayed in the martial arts training ground all day.Hua Yulou followed Zhu Yijun step by step, one step behind in a very regular manner.He didn't know how long he walked behind Zhu Yijun like this, perhaps even the emperor was used to this rhythm.
Speaking of Huayulou, in the second year of Wanli's reign, Tanhualang was hand-picked by the imperial court, with novel articles, slanted swords, and extraordinary courage.
Hua Yulou has a pretty face, often speaks frivolously, and has a frivolous and unruly disposition, which makes people feel careless. Those old and heavy people in the court don't like it.The more Zhu Yijun gets in touch with him, the more he realizes that this person is a person who does not reveal anything, and has excellent abilities and wrists.Now it can almost be called Zhu Yijun's arm.In recent years, Zhu Yijun's behavior has become more and more comprehensive and steady, which has a large part of his credit.
He is a very likable person, until Zhu Yijun asked Jin Yiwei to check him, it was a bolt from the blue.
Huajia, the richest man in Jiangnan.The five sons of the Hua family, Huayulou, and the seven children of the Hua family, Huamanlou.
When Zhu Yijun heard the news a few years ago, he was bitter and entangled in every possible way, one hundred thousand volts.
It turned out to be Lu Xiaofeng!
*
An acre of official land with seven dou harvested, six dou will be sent to Huangzhou first, and only one dou will be kept to finish the marriage.
In the winter of that year, after passing the legal examination, Zhang Juzheng merged land tax, corvee, and various miscellaneous taxes, comprehensively reformed the national taxation, reversed the financial crisis, and finally eased the treasury for many years.There was a considerable number of bureaucrats, gentry, and conservatives who strongly opposed the rectification of taxes and servitude.
"Where are you from?"
Zhu Yijun's face froze when he stepped into Qianqing Palace, Zhang Juzheng stood in the palace in a red official robe, his eyes were clear, his brows were slightly frowned, and his deep black eyes looked at the emperor in blue shirt.
"Going out of the palace again?" Zhang Juzheng said slowly, his voice was full of dissatisfaction, Bailongyufu was the most taboo.
The two stood for a while, Zhu Yijun thought about it, and then smiled back: "Yes, I will accompany the grand master to read the map catalog of Haijiu Bian, sir, have you read it?"
Zhu Yijun and Yang Bo got along very closely, and they often went out of the palace to socialize. Zhang Juzheng had a great impression of Yang Bo, so he didn't doubt it.
Haiphong.
Zhang Juzheng was questioned. Zhu Yijun had repeatedly proposed to build a navy. Although he did not agree, he avoided it.
Zhang Juzheng frowned even tighter, and his temples had more gray hair than five years ago.
He was regent with one hand and taught the emperor with the other. Naturally, he knew that there had been constant friction in recent years, but he could suppress Zhu Yijun everywhere with his unreasonable opinions. Jianshuishi?Daming doesn't need to fight pirates yet.
After a while, he asked back: "Not yet. Has the emperor read today's memorial?"
Zhu Yijun was a little embarrassed when he saw that he had made a bright move and then changed the topic.Nowadays, the government relies more on Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng is not omnipotent because he is good at running the army and improving politics. He also has things to avoid and places he can't touch.
For example, the cabinet, navy, vassals, dignitaries.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Juzheng knew that he probably didn't know. He said seriously: "This morning, the governor of Guangdong came to report that the bandits robbed the warehouses of the Guangdong government. Dangerous strongholds, thieves gather."
Daming has been peaceful for a long time, or it has been whitewashed for a long time.Local officials, who accept bribes and do not report them, have allowed many people to go outside the law.
Sure enough, Zhu Yijun's face changed when he heard the words, and he didn't care about those things anymore. What is more important than having experience in politics rather than behavior? To cover up the truth, all the good officials will be dismissed, even the governor. Who is going to put down the rebellion this time?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "Admiral of Guangdong and Guangxi military affairs, Yin Zhengmao."
Zhu Yijun nodded, agreeing.
The two sat on the embroidered chair in Qianqing Palace and talked for a while, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After a while, Zhu Yijun thought of something, then smiled and said, "Sir, you can think of who will take up the vacant position in the cabinet."
Zhang Juzheng nodded, he was also about to talk to Zhu Yijun about it.
Ma Ziqiang, Shen Shihang.They are all Hanlin officials again.
Zhu Yijun didn't think about it as soon as he heard it, his eyes turned around, and he mocked: "Yuan Fu is reforming everywhere, but he forgot that the cabinet is lagging behind. The members of the cabinet don't have to be Hanlin."
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Zhu Yijun, and said earnestly: "The position of the cabinet minister is dedicated to endorsement, so the official said that he knows how to make orders. Does the emperor intend to rectify the cabinet?"
Zhu Yijun thought about the meaning of these words, and thought that Zhang Juzheng would not let go so easily.
"I am interested. The head of the Ministry of Punishment went to the shuffle the day before yesterday. There are two members of the cabinet, one in the Hanlin and one in the other yamen. They are highly respected and talented. Hanlin, what do you think sir?"
Zhang Juzheng was not afraid of Zhu Yijun's discoloration at all, and calmly replied: "Because of the ancestral system, all cabinet scholars come from the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy scholars are selected through the imperial examination. They are talented people in the world. The cabinet position is important, the political affairs are fundamental, and the poems are all well-proportioned." , Do not insult Wang Yan, only the Hanlin is competent." The implication is that all the cabinet ministers have always come from the Hanlin, and even he himself is from the Hanlin Academy.
Speaking of this, the fool also knew that Zhang Juzheng didn't want the emperor to intervene in the cabinet.
The cabinet members are Lu Tiaoyang who "dare not to be similar or different", or Zhang Siwei who "if Xun Xun is an official, he dare not treat himself as a colleague".
The corners of Zhu Yijun's mouth curled up, and he insisted with a sneer: "Member of the cabinet, if you explain the principles and understand the political affairs, you are all worthy of the person. If you choose to stay, you can choose and teach poetry, and the administrative incompetence can also punish the country. For big things, sir, don’t you do it yourself?”
His words are hidden here, but he also talked about the abnormal performance of the cabinet.He has been dissatisfied with the cabinet for a long time, and he was forced to do nothing. He wanted to see Zhang Juzheng's attitude today.
He is not a phase, but his power expands infinitely.
The cabinet is full of people who "in case of major issues, don't make decisions exclusively, and let Mr. Zhang punish them".
Zhang Juzheng was a little surprised. The little emperor, who was easy to dismiss on weekdays, was so resolute today. There were problems with the cabinet since the Jiajing Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng made great efforts to reform.
For a long while, Zhang Juzheng stared at Zhu Yijun, with a solemn face as before, with a confused expression, and said slowly: "Who does the emperor prefer?"
Zhu Yijun calmed down, met Zhang Juzheng's gaze, and said with a light smile: "Teacher, how about Lu Ze?"
Zhang Juzheng's deep black eyes sank, his brows frowned slightly, as if he had heard something unusual.
Palace Nine
The winter wind blows, the branches and leaves sway, helpless and helpless.In the imperial garden, all the flowers are exhausted, only the hardy bamboo cedar and silver fir are still lush, adding some greenery to the barren garden.
Liang Yong's face was pale, and he followed Zhu Yijun with his head shrugged. He didn't want to be seen by Zhang Shoufu now. If it wasn't for the emperor's protection, Zhang Juzheng would have pulled him out and chopped him up. He was afraid that he would be scolded if there was no one in the palace just now. Fascinated, bloody head.
The so-called bureau of newspapers and newspapers, if there is no oil and water, they have to give money, not to mention, and the chief assistant doesn't like it, it's really thankless work.
When Zhu Yijun first brought up the Times, Zhang Juzheng objected. What he disliked the most was public opinion and official affairs, and great Confucian scholars went to the academy to discuss politics.Most of the responses from the courtiers lifted Zhu Yijun's spirits. The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were already low. Zhang Juzheng caught corruption and reduced his salary.
The Cisheng Empress Dowager lives in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. Although there is only a word difference, there is still a long way to go. Unless necessary, he seldom rides on a dragon chariot. Looking at the majesty, he is actually very bumpy.
"Royal Brother"
The snow marks on the ground have long since been swept away. Behind him, the young man in brocade clothes and fine clothes on the rock patch road, his handsome facial features are slightly childish, the sun is shining brightly, and his outline looks a lot like Emperor Mu Zong.
With a series of hurried footsteps, he ran to Zhu Yijun's side.
"Brother Huang, why didn't you stop and wait for me, I called you several times." The young man treated Zhu Yijun very affectionately, and complained angrily while holding hands.
Zhu Yijun's eyes rolled around, as bright as stars in the morning, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and a fiery red fur fur with lapel was wrapped around his body.
The sunlight fell on the eyebrows and eyes, and it was amazing for a moment. Zhu Yimiao was stunned for a moment and forgot to answer.
Zhu Yijun took him by the hand and walked towards the Empress Dowager Cisheng's bedroom, and said with a playful smile, "The soul is back, the soul is back, the soul is back."
Although Zhu Yimiao is small, his face is slightly similar, and he is equally handsome and timeless. At a glance, he can tell that he is a brother by blood.
"Brother Huang is so beautiful, the best I have ever seen"
"Little one, you've only met a few people before you know what looks good."
"Brother Huang, don't underestimate people. I will stay aside when the Queen Mother meets those wives and ladies. The Queen Mother boasts that she is not as beautiful as Brother Huang."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yijun raised his hand to pat his head, rubbed it, and said angrily, "I didn't expect him to be a little pervert. It's so daring to secretly compare Brother Huang with women."
Zhu Yimiao was dizzy from being rubbed, and begged for mercy for a while, but Zhu Yijun still didn't let go.
A servant came up ahead and saluted from afar, and stood aside respectfully, waiting for the emperor to leave first.
The eunuch who delivered the decree next to the Empress Dowager Cisheng.
Zhu Yijun frowned, and couldn't help but let go of his hand, Zhu Yimiao took the opportunity to push his hand away and hide to the side.
"What is the emperor thinking?" Before Zhu Yijun could speak, he continued: "The next time the emperor wants to go out of the palace, bring me with him, and I will tell you where Qiu Deyong is going."
Qiu Deyong was the eunuch just now.
Zhu Yijun gave him a sideways look, which was quite funny, this kid has become more and more clumsy recently.He grabbed him with his hand and continued to walk forward without answering.
"He's going to Mr. Zhang's house."
After Zhu Yimiao finished speaking nonchalantly, she moved her face closer and carefully studied his expression.The corners of Zhu Yijun's eyes twitched, and he stretched out his hand to push his head away, raising his eyebrows.
"Is the emperor unhappy?"
Lu Wang was young, his intelligence and wisdom were beginning to emerge, his heart was as delicate as silk, and there was a faint smile in Zhu Yijun's eyes.
"you think too much."
"Didn't the emperor tell the queen not to reward the queen last time?"
"Who said that, you dare to eavesdrop, this is a secret, I will punish you severely."
"Ah, it hurts! Brother Huang, please be gentle. The queen mother was so angry that day. I didn't dare to go in outside the door. I accidentally heard it."
"Brother Huang, don't worry, my younger brother has let you know, the queen mother must have calmed down."
"Why are you getting more and more verbose?"
"..."
In the side hall, the Empress Dowager Cisheng was sitting on the couch with a Bodhidharma rosary emitting faint blue light in her hands. The two brothers saluted. His body is the least exposed to cold wind.
Zhu Yijun sat aside with a calm expression.On the one hand, the mother is kind and the son is filial, and on the other hand, she concentrates on studying the blue and white bowl with chrysanthemum pattern on the table.
As if he was angry, the Empress Dowager Cisheng ignored people, and he didn't want to make fun of himself.
Just as King Lu said, since that quarrel, he and the Empress Dowager Cisheng have had a grudge, and the intimacy between him and the past has become more and more lost.
When Fuer turns 30, we will discuss it at that time!
This is what the Empress Dowager Cisheng said!
Politicians raise sheep, businessmen raise pigs.Those who raise sheep, when the wool grows long, they just cut it and continue to raise it, and they will never kill the fish and break the net.But businessmen only want to raise fat pigs, and they will cut them off during the Chinese New Year, and have no plans to do long-term business.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng has always been a businessman, she has no idea of letting Zhu Yijun be in charge, maybe she will not have it before Zhang Juzheng's death.
In politics, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao often suppressed him. Zhu Yijun believed that the Empress Dowager Cisheng had ghosts in her heart, and relying on Zhang Juzheng made him do the same. 30 years, how many 30 years are there in a person's life.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng believed that Zhang Juzheng was a great talent, devoted himself to loyalty, and did not monopolize the power for his own use, and emptied the emperor.He has done a good job in the past, and in the future he will assist the government, and report to Zhu Yijun on major matters, while Zhang Juzheng handles minor matters arbitrarily. She takes on the sacred responsibility. son.
There was a rift between the two of them, and they wanted to repair it, but they drifted away.
But after a while, the three of them finished their meal with different thoughts, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng sent King Lu away, leaving Zhu Yijun to talk.
Lu Wang wanted to stay and be Zhu Yijun's regulator, but unfortunately he couldn't hold back and had to withdraw in embarrassment.
Zhu Yijun sat on the side of the soft couch, and poured a cup of Pu'er tea gracefully. His demeanor was cool and elegant, like rosemary in the dark night.The Empress Dowager Cisheng is a beautiful, dignified and beautiful woman, looking at Zhu Yijun with fascination, her eyes are full of complexities and then she is drawn away.
"Why didn't the mother go to the East Pavilion this morning?"
Zhu Yijun would read the memorials sent by the Secretary of the General Administration every morning in the East Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng would go there to sit for a while every day. Zhu Yijun sneaked out of the palace and the Empress Dowager Cisheng didn't even know it. No wonder he was surprised.
When the Empress Dowager Cisheng heard the words, she felt helpless, and said: "Early this morning, Uncle Wu Qing went to the palace to ask for an audience. I don't think I will spend the whole morning."
When Zhu Yijun heard Uncle Wu Qing, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was deeply impressed by the old patriarch Wu Qing who always called him "grandson, grandson" with an inflated sense of superiority.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng also felt uncomfortable, she was scared by Uncle Wu Qing, so she agreed to meet him and led him to the West Pavilion.She didn't want Zhu Yijun to be entangled by Wu Qingbo, who was so out of tune.
"What is Wu Qingbo doing here?"
The Empress Dowager Cisheng paused, and said lightly: "Don't worry, it's nothing, just talk to the Empress Dowager."
Zhu Yijun saw that she didn't want to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions. The Empress Dowager Cisheng never mentioned Uncle Wu Qing in front of him. Although he met at court meetings, he kept coming to Zhu Yijun to get close.
Uncle Wu Qing hurriedly came to find the Empress Dowager Cisheng, just thinking that when Zhu Yijun was the crown prince, he was Uncle Wu Qing. Now that Zhu Yijun is the emperor, should he be promoted.What he couldn't get used to even more was that he was the emperor's grandfather, but he stood behind Cheng Guogong in the court, and his son Li Gao was still the subordinate of Cheng Guogong's younger brother Zhu Xixiao. It really didn't matter, it was just an imbalance.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng took a sip of Pu'er tea, temporarily put down her father who was being plotted against, and asked, "What books did you read today?"
Zhu Yijun replied: "A copy of the impeachment of Yang Zhengmao by the prefect of Qingyuan Prefecture for corruption and Chen Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rituals, was submitted. The North Korean special envoy came to Beijing to pay tribute. The Ministry of Hospitality refused to pay. It violated the etiquette law. Please be responsible department."
After Zhu Yijun finished speaking in one breath, the Empress Dowager Cisheng asked, "What does the emperor think?"
"After issuing all draft bills to the cabinet, we will make a decision." Zhu Yijun lowered his eyes and said calmly.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang has thousands of mountains and rivers hidden in your chest, so you should listen to him." After the Empress Dowager Cisheng sighed, she said to Zhu Yijun in a gentle voice: "You should listen to Mr. Zhang carefully and learn from him. Always making troubles to make trouble for Mr. Zhang's administration."
The implication is that she will talk about the Department of the Bureau and Gaobeard's party.
Zhu Yijun listened quietly and did not speak.
After a while, he opened his mouth again.
"There is a shortage of people in the cabinet, what does the queen mother think of Wang Xilie?"
Zhu Yijun lowered his hands, and stared at the Empress Dowager Cisheng with a pair of peach-blossom affectionate eyes. She was startled, because she felt that Zhu Yijun's eyes seemed to hide emotions that she had never discovered before.
However, those eyes looked so much like Emperor Mu Zong's, which made her dazzled.
After a while, the Empress Dowager Cisheng remembered who Wang Xilie was and frowned.She doesn't like Gao Gong and regards him as a serious threat to her confidant, but Zhu Yijun let Gao Gong's followers use him.
Aren't Lu Ze and Wang Xilie the two high-ranking Hen Ha generals?
The Empress Dowager Cisheng was not happy, and just about to speak, she thought of Uncle Wu Qing's words, "Where there is a milk, there is a mother, Wang Xilie is Gao Gong's person, and now that Gao Gong has left, he has switched to someone else, this kind of person is even more useless.
*
Prince Yi's son went to Beijing.The younger brother of the vassal prince had no purpose and was not allowed to leave the fief, let alone come to the capital.
Knowing that it was Lu Xiaofeng's era, it was not difficult to guess that the powerful Tang Shu Yi Wang was the so-called Taiping King, and Zhu Yijiao, who played with him for a few years when he was young, would be Gong Jiu.
As soon as this idea was established, Zhu Yijun was instantly shocked, so that every time Yi Wang's son had an audience, Zhu Yijun would move forward, looking left and right, he was a first-class beautiful boy, a decent child, why did he become crooked in the future?
Gong Jiu is dressed in plain white clothes, with a handsome and timeless face, chic and casual.The thin lips were lightly pursed and smiling, exuding a dignified and extraordinary aura, he was indeed a handsome young man with an intimidating demeanor.
"It's not easy to see you once. I heard that the little prince is going to sea again? It seems that the harvest is not small."
Gong Jiu smiled and squinted her eyes, gentle and elegant, making people feel like a spring breeze, she moved slightly closer, and her movements were elegant and chic.Zhu Yijun held him comfortably and walked towards Qianqing Palace.
Speaking of Gong Jiu, it was really a mother who died at the age of three. It is a long story, Gong Jiu is still Gong Jiu, but the son of Prince Yi is not the son of Prince Taiping, his father is still that father, and his mother is still his own mother. It hasn't changed, but it has changed.
This is the world Gong Jiu sees after closing his eyes and then opening them again.
Gong Jiu died, at the hands of Lu Xiaofeng, but he was alive again.
Rebirth!Without the ecstasy and bewilderment of ordinary people, he accepted the fact of returning to the past in a short while, and accepted everything calmly.
King Yi has been fighting outside all year round, but there is no doubt that he loves Gong Jiu. Gong Jiu knows his ending is hit hard because the hatred for his father for more than 20 years is actually meaningless.
Gong Jiu is a genius with outstanding aptitude. He can learn all kinds of martial arts at once.However, he lived separately from King Taiping for many years, and got along with King Yi when he was a child, which made him a little uncomfortable.
And the imperial decree to let him go to Beijing to accompany the little prince still made Gong Jiu feel strange, if I remember correctly, it had never happened before.
The closer you get to the capital, the more you can feel the difference. The rivers and lakes are still the same rivers and lakes, but the court is not the same dynasty.Gong Jiu's temperament changed drastically when he was young. Since then, he was decisive, wise, gentle and unrestrained, but he takes pleasure in being abused and uses physical pain to satisfy his twisted heart. The death of his mother is a knot in his heart that he can't solve. , From then on, he hated his biological father.
He spent more than ten years building a huge network of influence, and just for revenge, he climbed to the nine poles, stepped on all living beings, and beat King Taiping severely into the mud.
For the imperial court, how could Zeng Xiao be unfamiliar with Gong Jiu, who had thought about the splendid world with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?
The joy of life is not in exploring the unknown, Gong Jiu will never be bored, because he believes that this brand new world will bring him brand new fun.This dynasty was very chaotic, both economically, militaryly and politically, but Confucianism was highly accomplished and the sense of imperial power was extremely strong.The emperor is mediocre, and he has many capable ministers under him, but he only focuses on military and border defense. The economic development has little effect, and the treasury is even more difficult to make ends meet.This country is too contradictory, this world is too powerful, in a chaotic world, I don't know where to go.
The little prince has formed his own personality at a young age, and has his own way of doing everything.Although his thoughts and behavior are a little immature, he has a lot of ideas.Gong Jiu didn't know that the biggest variable here was Zhu Yijun.
If Zhu Yijun regards Hua Yulou as his right and left hand, Jin Yiwei Zhu Xixiao is a loyal subordinate, and Yang Tinghe is a partner who grew up together, then Fa Xiaogong Jiu is an ordinary friend.
No matter how you look at it, this younger brother doesn't look like he has a mental illness, even if he hides it too deeply.As a good older brother, it is very necessary for him to correct his younger brother in time when he is crooked.
After a while, Gong Jiu smiled softly and said: "That's right, I robbed two British ships along the way and got some things, the emperor is interested to see?"
Gong Jiu pointed to the brocade box held by the waiter at the side, Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes, and joked casually: "Don't try to bribe me, if the Secretary of General Administration hadn't reported it, I still don't know that you left Taiping Mansion."
"It's not easy for Uncle Huang, so don't keep torturing him."
The country is in turmoil, and no matter how strong an individual's force is, it cannot compare with the strength of one party.If it is said that Gong Jiu could build such a huge power network in more than ten years, it would be impossible without the support of Wuming Island in the South China Sea. Shenzhou's delusion is a difficult hidden danger, and in the end he failed to kill Wu Ming. I don't know how Lu Xiaofeng will deal with him.
Gong Jiu listened quietly without answering questions.
"You are so eager to find me, it doesn't seem like you want to reminisce about the past, I have heard a little about the pepper sumac." Gong Jiu said teasingly with a rippling smile and squinted eyes.
When Zhu Yijun heard it, he gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "You are well informed. Pepper and sumac are all unreasonable things. There is a lot of trouble in Shanxi, and Yuanfu has no time now. How can he care about other things?" of."
The topic is related to pepper sumac, so I have to mention it.
Under the name of the household department, there are more than 20 warehouses in the capital, except for the banknote warehouse, the others are full.In the past few years, when the treasury was in short supply, Zhang Juzheng changed his tax collection policy and could only pay taxes in silver.In the past, tax collection throughout the country could be replaced by real goods.
Accumulated over the years, there are more than 700 types in the warehouse, ranging from pens, inks, papers, inkstones, gongs, drums, bells and tripods, to charcoal, rice, oil, salt, bamboo, wood and rattan lacquers, and most of them are items that are prone to mildew and deterioration.The pepper sumac alone has saved 10,000+ catties. There are too many sundries in the storage warehouse. Zhu Yijun always wants to raise the salary of the courtiers.
Zhu Yijun couldn't do anything to the Beijing officials with little salary, so he turned his mind on the princes, marquis, and relatives.
The two had different ideas, and it was hard to make a decision at the moment, so the matter was shelved.
Gong Jiu approached slightly, with a sense of seduction: "The emperor is so trusting, how can I not know about the matter of exchanging salary in kind, and how the emperor wants me to block those princes and grandchildren."
He said it casually, relaxed and at ease, as if those powerful and wealthy princes were just some humble soldiers.
Zhu Yijun looked strange, and said calmly: "The emperor's uncle has high authority and far-reaching prestige. I need to trouble the emperor for this matter. Minorities in the south rise up every day to make trouble. The emperor is old, and I really don't want to trouble the emperor." Said After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Gong Jiu with expectation in his eyes, pretending to sigh, "I'm still waiting for you to grow up and help me guard the south."
Gong Jiu's eyes twitched at Zhu Yijun's eyes full of pride and anticipation.His heart moved slightly, his expression proud.
Casually teasing, nodding his head and saying: "It's just a land of southern barbarians, the emperor may be overqualified."
Zhu Yijun laughed loudly and said, "Great talent? You have to use it before you know." After speaking, he winked his eyes, feeling a little bit thief.
Gong Jiu has no friends, but he is never lonely, because he can always find something more interesting to make himself happy. The first thing an ordinary person thinks of when reborn is to kill the person who ended his life, but Gong Jiu is not an ordinary person. He admires Lu Xiaofeng, Because of his character, his courage, and even more his wit, so instead of killing Lu Xiaofeng, he wanted to be friends with him.
He is extremely confident and extremely humble.Gong Jiu's behavior seems to be smooth but sharp.He can be hypocritical, but can also be as cold as ice, Gong Jiu is extremely arrogant.
student against teacher
The color is red all over, the texture is clearly visible, the overall oily luster, the texture is warm and thick, fresh and lovely, and the design is even more ingenious and exquisitely carved. There is a small round hole in the middle of the left and right sides of the jade crown. In order to insert the hosta and hold the jade crown.The hairpin is made of jasper, shaped like a cone, with a slightly curved end, and decorated with a mushroom-shaped round cap, which makes the shape of the device full of variety despite its small size, which can be described as ingenious.
This is not a bunch of crowns.
Zhu Yijun prefers accessories, and has put a lot of effort into clothing, such as hair crowns, jade pendants, and bead chains. There are various types and ingenuity.
Zhu Yijun took out the hair crown from the brocade box in Liang Yong's hand, gestured to his hands, and said with a smile: "He said he didn't want to bribe me, the red jade purple gold crown, the carving is fine, and it's something on a sea ship? Could it be that someone's grave was dug up?" !"
Gong Jiu said casually: "Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed planed."
"The mausoleum of Xi'an, belonging to the first emperor, is the emperor interested?"
"I found out that you have a huge advantage, you can die if you don't brag."
When they were talking, Zhu Yijun stroked the huge ruby lightly with his finger, his peach blossom eyes sparkled, he raised his hand and accepted it with a smile.
"The feudal prince's mansion really has some background, so I don't worry. I will add a few more tributes in the coming year, and I can't lower this level."
He made puns and smiled cunningly, very much like Yang Bo.
Hearing the words, Gong Jiu squinted her eyes, shrugged her shoulders, and sighed in a very chic way: "No more, this is the only one, and this is not an example."
"Come on, you're being stingy, aren't you? I've heard from Zhu Xixiao that the Ninth Young Master is as rich as an enemy."
He said it seriously, and even pressed Gong Jiu's shoulder to show that his words were true.
After a while, there was a lot of laughter, Gong Jiu was about to go to see the queen mother, but he didn't want to meet Hua Yulou who came to serve the book in the afternoon when he walked to the door.
Although Zhang Juzheng couldn't take care of Zhu Yijun, Feng Baoke had plenty of time to watch over him every day, and his schoolwork never stopped.
Gong Jiu had never heard of Huayulou before. The most famous flower family in the south of the Yangtze River is probably Huamanlou. He likes Huamanlou, and Huayulou is even harder to deal with.
Gong Jiu is very proud, with the pride in her bones and the dignity in her heart, she cannot tolerate any slights.Huayulou is also proud enough, people with high IQ are somewhat pretentious, and it is inevitable that they will be proud of their talents.
This is a bastard's look at peanuts, which doesn't quite match his eyes.
Sure enough, just three lines of "flower boy's shoes" and he was full of firepower, sarcasm and sarcasm, but Gong Jiu smiled like a spring breeze, a modest gentleman, but in fact he hid a knife in his smile, and a sweet sword in his mouth.
In the end, Zhu Yijun couldn't bear to see it any longer, and finally stopped, and Gong Jiu went to Ciqing Palace.
Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry to go to the study when he welcomed people in. He rolled his eyes and smiled lightly, "I didn't expect that Hua Shishu is not only a literary talent, but also a brilliant eloquent talent. Today is really an eye-opener."
Hua Yulou didn't like Gong Jiu, and she never concealed it, and Zhu Yijun was very helpless about it.
"Even if you are talented, you can't compare with His Royal Highness." Hua Yu sneered back.
It is not groundless that Huayulou doesn't like Yi Wang's son. When we first met, Gong Jiu was a gentleman, gentle and elegant, sophistry, and like a poisonous snake.Confucius and Mencius of the Ming Dynasty were deeply introspective, and Confucianism was profound, and they knew that the doubter should not be used, and the employer should not be suspicious.
In Huayulou's heart, Prince Yi's son is afraid that this is the suspect.
Spring begins to wave in the pond,
The fire is hot in early spring.
After a long time, Zhu Yijun said, "What do Hua Shishu think of Zhu Xixiao?"
Hua Yulou smiled lightly and replied: "Both civil and military, strict and upright, hard-hearted, he is a rare talent."
"If it wasn't recommended by the ninth younger brother, I still don't know that Cheng Guogong's younger brother is a general with extraordinary courage, loyalty and courage."
Hua Yulou didn't answer, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he didn't speak anymore.
Gong Jiu was away all year round, and Cheng Guoan lived in the capital, so how could he have the time to recommend someone to the emperor, Zhu Yijun closed his eyes and said nonsense.Every vassal's fief is monitored by Jin Yiwei, Gong Jiu goes out frequently, and reports in a sealed envelope, how could he not know Zhu Xixiao.
Zhu Yijun was a little distracted at this moment, and didn't expect to read any books.
After sitting down, he took Huayulou to the Royal Garden to relax.
Hua Yulou was by his side, and after walking away for a while, he began to speak meanly, his phoenix eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he said with a smile, "Your Majesty, foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the inner palace without permission, you can't break the rules for your sake."
When Zhu Yijun heard it, he was happy.He replied: "For you? It's still a little low level, you are romantic, dare to molest the harem in front of me, take care of your skin... haha."
Hua Yulou didn't care about it either, with twitchy eyes, he said, "Disaster in the harem? That's a big crime against the nine clans."
The 17th century was the era of maritime hegemony. Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and later the United States established their superior power in the world in this era, and the basis of their capital accumulation was sea power.China's backwardness is to give up the ocean.
"Are we ready for a naval battle?"
The voice came in abruptly, without beginning or end.
This young man has broad shoulders and is taller than Zhu Yijun and Hua Yulou. His strong figure is the skeleton of martial arts practice all the year round. He has a handsome face, thin lips and bright eyes. He is a young and handsome warrior.
If you see Hua Yulou and still take a few unscrupulous glances, this young man, some weird people, may see something.
He is the grandson of Yang Taishi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War at that time, and Yang Tingbao, a newly promoted martial artist.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Yang Tingbao in surprise, obviously he didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.
"I guessed wildly. Just two days ago, I saw Grandpa looking at the map catalog of Haijiubian."
Yang Bo is studying coastal defense?
When Zhu Yijun heard this, there was a smile in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "Can you get on the boat now?"
Yang Tingbao's face turned blue, thinking that he would vomit to death as soon as he boarded the boat, he gritted his teeth and said, "It can be done."
"It's up to your grandfather to decide whether it will succeed or not. I can't watch you die."
Yang Tingbao is a real landlubber, he can't get on a boat, and every time he talks about going to sea, he feels sorry for him. Yang Bo once had him tied up on the boat for a day, and he fainted and vomited for a day before he could recover.
While talking, Hua Yulou, who was concentrating on reading the newspaper, uttered a sound.
"Master Pan is really powerful. It's only been a long time since I went here, and the Yellow River has been healed within a month."
Zhu Yijun remembered this, took the newspaper, smiled, and said: "He has been to the Yellow River several times before and after, and this time the situation is not serious, and the flooding of the embankment is not so serious."
"If you rely on Li Daneng's idiot, Ning Ling will be gone, and it will not be better."
Speaking of Li Daneng, this person is also an official of the Ministry of Industry, and he was the first to go there this time when the Yellow River broke its embankment.
The big companion is greedy for money, and I don't know how much benefit he has received from Li Daneng, so he recommends him as the governor of Hedao.
Li Daneng was talented and talented, but the Yellow River didn't improve for a few months. Instead, the imperial court reached out and allocated money several times.
Zhu Yijun's expression remained unchanged, obviously thinking of something bad, he always thought of his family, his country, and the world, acted justly, and fulfilled his duties. Zhang Juzheng allowed Feng Bao to act recklessly without stopping him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
As soon as these words came out, Hua Yulou squinted his eyes, didn't answer, and smiled instead: "Don't say anything else. Master Lu took the front page again, really sharp, you like it, and a role model for my generation."
Lu Ze is radical and upright, just like his teacher Gao Gong, he has a violent temper and is extremely ruthless, even though death is meaningless.
The few people who impressed Zhu Yijun the most in Huijimen back then, Lu Ze, were given to Shizhong by the Ministry of Officials.Among them, the most bloody one was carried out of the Meridian Gate.
Zhu Yijun ignored him, took a sip of tea leisurely, glanced at him, and said, "Tingbao, you have reported it."
Yang Tingbao didn't understand the situation, took a look, said 'oh', and stopped talking.
The corner of Zhu Yijun's eyes twitched, and he glanced at it with hatred, why didn't he have the consciousness to become the focus person at all.
Hua Yulou saw a person and said, "Liu Dadao? I seem to have seen him at the school last time. Do you have any impression?"
The list of recent martial arts examinations was printed on the thin paper, Yang Tingbao Fangfang was on the list, and Liu Dadao was below.
Zhu Yijun's eyes fluttered, he obviously still remembered, and said: "He is the son of General Liu Xian."
Hua Yulou praised: "I heard that the big sword in his hand is heavier than Guan Gong's, and the rotation is like flying, and his martial arts skills are terrifying."
Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, he turned his head, and said with a smile, "You have met your opponent this time."
Yang Tingbao pumped his fists. Obviously, he had heard of Liu Dadao's name. The two were the same age, and since they were both famous, they inevitably developed a competitive heart. What's more, there was Zhu Yijun here who wanted to provoke each other and fan the flames.
Yang Bo came to the Minister of the Ministry of War and fought back against Mongolia many times. After the famous general Yang Tingbao, he practiced martial arts when he was young, playing with guns and sticks, and marching in formation.In four years of Wanli, over sixteen years old, he won the first prize in the martial arts examination. In the coming year, he will be the champion in the Jinluan Palace Examination?
In the second year of Wanli, the imperial court published the Daming Daily.24 supervisors were set up in the inner court, and the bureau of newspapers and newspapers was controlled by Liang Yong, the young supervisor of the supervisor of ceremonies. All literati and court ministers could deliver articles.
People don't talk about official affairs.Literary inquisition was a nightmare for the people of the Ming Dynasty.This was especially the case during the Hongwu period. The small ones ransacked the family, and the big ones exterminated the clan. Basically, they were all exterminated.
Zhu Yijun publicized state affairs. In the past, apart from the Guozijian, the great Confucianists have found another outlet, submitting manuscripts every day. Not only can they become famous but also make money, why don't they write.
Suppression of public opinion is better than control.
After a while, several people respectfully invited them out of the Zuixian Tower at the store, and Zhu Yijun was about to return to the palace.
Yang Tingbao turned off to go to the martial arts training ground. If the imperial examination progress hadn't accompanied Zhu Yijun, he would probably have stayed in the martial arts training ground all day.Hua Yulou followed Zhu Yijun step by step, one step behind in a very regular manner.He didn't know how long he walked behind Zhu Yijun like this, perhaps even the emperor was used to this rhythm.
Speaking of Huayulou, in the second year of Wanli's reign, Tanhualang was hand-picked by the imperial court, with novel articles, slanted swords, and extraordinary courage.
Hua Yulou has a pretty face, often speaks frivolously, and has a frivolous and unruly disposition, which makes people feel careless. Those old and heavy people in the court don't like it.The more Zhu Yijun gets in touch with him, the more he realizes that this person is a person who does not reveal anything, and has excellent abilities and wrists.Now it can almost be called Zhu Yijun's arm.In recent years, Zhu Yijun's behavior has become more and more comprehensive and steady, which has a large part of his credit.
He is a very likable person, until Zhu Yijun asked Jin Yiwei to check him, it was a bolt from the blue.
Huajia, the richest man in Jiangnan.The five sons of the Hua family, Huayulou, and the seven children of the Hua family, Huamanlou.
When Zhu Yijun heard the news a few years ago, he was bitter and entangled in every possible way, one hundred thousand volts.
It turned out to be Lu Xiaofeng!
*
An acre of official land with seven dou harvested, six dou will be sent to Huangzhou first, and only one dou will be kept to finish the marriage.
In the winter of that year, after passing the legal examination, Zhang Juzheng merged land tax, corvee, and various miscellaneous taxes, comprehensively reformed the national taxation, reversed the financial crisis, and finally eased the treasury for many years.There was a considerable number of bureaucrats, gentry, and conservatives who strongly opposed the rectification of taxes and servitude.
"Where are you from?"
Zhu Yijun's face froze when he stepped into Qianqing Palace, Zhang Juzheng stood in the palace in a red official robe, his eyes were clear, his brows were slightly frowned, and his deep black eyes looked at the emperor in blue shirt.
"Going out of the palace again?" Zhang Juzheng said slowly, his voice was full of dissatisfaction, Bailongyufu was the most taboo.
The two stood for a while, Zhu Yijun thought about it, and then smiled back: "Yes, I will accompany the grand master to read the map catalog of Haijiu Bian, sir, have you read it?"
Zhu Yijun and Yang Bo got along very closely, and they often went out of the palace to socialize. Zhang Juzheng had a great impression of Yang Bo, so he didn't doubt it.
Haiphong.
Zhang Juzheng was questioned. Zhu Yijun had repeatedly proposed to build a navy. Although he did not agree, he avoided it.
Zhang Juzheng frowned even tighter, and his temples had more gray hair than five years ago.
He was regent with one hand and taught the emperor with the other. Naturally, he knew that there had been constant friction in recent years, but he could suppress Zhu Yijun everywhere with his unreasonable opinions. Jianshuishi?Daming doesn't need to fight pirates yet.
After a while, he asked back: "Not yet. Has the emperor read today's memorial?"
Zhu Yijun was a little embarrassed when he saw that he had made a bright move and then changed the topic.Nowadays, the government relies more on Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng is not omnipotent because he is good at running the army and improving politics. He also has things to avoid and places he can't touch.
For example, the cabinet, navy, vassals, dignitaries.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Juzheng knew that he probably didn't know. He said seriously: "This morning, the governor of Guangdong came to report that the bandits robbed the warehouses of the Guangdong government. Dangerous strongholds, thieves gather."
Daming has been peaceful for a long time, or it has been whitewashed for a long time.Local officials, who accept bribes and do not report them, have allowed many people to go outside the law.
Sure enough, Zhu Yijun's face changed when he heard the words, and he didn't care about those things anymore. What is more important than having experience in politics rather than behavior? To cover up the truth, all the good officials will be dismissed, even the governor. Who is going to put down the rebellion this time?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "Admiral of Guangdong and Guangxi military affairs, Yin Zhengmao."
Zhu Yijun nodded, agreeing.
The two sat on the embroidered chair in Qianqing Palace and talked for a while, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After a while, Zhu Yijun thought of something, then smiled and said, "Sir, you can think of who will take up the vacant position in the cabinet."
Zhang Juzheng nodded, he was also about to talk to Zhu Yijun about it.
Ma Ziqiang, Shen Shihang.They are all Hanlin officials again.
Zhu Yijun didn't think about it as soon as he heard it, his eyes turned around, and he mocked: "Yuan Fu is reforming everywhere, but he forgot that the cabinet is lagging behind. The members of the cabinet don't have to be Hanlin."
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Zhu Yijun, and said earnestly: "The position of the cabinet minister is dedicated to endorsement, so the official said that he knows how to make orders. Does the emperor intend to rectify the cabinet?"
Zhu Yijun thought about the meaning of these words, and thought that Zhang Juzheng would not let go so easily.
"I am interested. The head of the Ministry of Punishment went to the shuffle the day before yesterday. There are two members of the cabinet, one in the Hanlin and one in the other yamen. They are highly respected and talented. Hanlin, what do you think sir?"
Zhang Juzheng was not afraid of Zhu Yijun's discoloration at all, and calmly replied: "Because of the ancestral system, all cabinet scholars come from the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy scholars are selected through the imperial examination. They are talented people in the world. The cabinet position is important, the political affairs are fundamental, and the poems are all well-proportioned." , Do not insult Wang Yan, only the Hanlin is competent." The implication is that all the cabinet ministers have always come from the Hanlin, and even he himself is from the Hanlin Academy.
Speaking of this, the fool also knew that Zhang Juzheng didn't want the emperor to intervene in the cabinet.
The cabinet members are Lu Tiaoyang who "dare not to be similar or different", or Zhang Siwei who "if Xun Xun is an official, he dare not treat himself as a colleague".
The corners of Zhu Yijun's mouth curled up, and he insisted with a sneer: "Member of the cabinet, if you explain the principles and understand the political affairs, you are all worthy of the person. If you choose to stay, you can choose and teach poetry, and the administrative incompetence can also punish the country. For big things, sir, don’t you do it yourself?”
His words are hidden here, but he also talked about the abnormal performance of the cabinet.He has been dissatisfied with the cabinet for a long time, and he was forced to do nothing. He wanted to see Zhang Juzheng's attitude today.
He is not a phase, but his power expands infinitely.
The cabinet is full of people who "in case of major issues, don't make decisions exclusively, and let Mr. Zhang punish them".
Zhang Juzheng was a little surprised. The little emperor, who was easy to dismiss on weekdays, was so resolute today. There were problems with the cabinet since the Jiajing Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng made great efforts to reform.
For a long while, Zhang Juzheng stared at Zhu Yijun, with a solemn face as before, with a confused expression, and said slowly: "Who does the emperor prefer?"
Zhu Yijun calmed down, met Zhang Juzheng's gaze, and said with a light smile: "Teacher, how about Lu Ze?"
Zhang Juzheng's deep black eyes sank, his brows frowned slightly, as if he had heard something unusual.
Palace Nine
The winter wind blows, the branches and leaves sway, helpless and helpless.In the imperial garden, all the flowers are exhausted, only the hardy bamboo cedar and silver fir are still lush, adding some greenery to the barren garden.
Liang Yong's face was pale, and he followed Zhu Yijun with his head shrugged. He didn't want to be seen by Zhang Shoufu now. If it wasn't for the emperor's protection, Zhang Juzheng would have pulled him out and chopped him up. He was afraid that he would be scolded if there was no one in the palace just now. Fascinated, bloody head.
The so-called bureau of newspapers and newspapers, if there is no oil and water, they have to give money, not to mention, and the chief assistant doesn't like it, it's really thankless work.
When Zhu Yijun first brought up the Times, Zhang Juzheng objected. What he disliked the most was public opinion and official affairs, and great Confucian scholars went to the academy to discuss politics.Most of the responses from the courtiers lifted Zhu Yijun's spirits. The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were already low. Zhang Juzheng caught corruption and reduced his salary.
The Cisheng Empress Dowager lives in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. Although there is only a word difference, there is still a long way to go. Unless necessary, he seldom rides on a dragon chariot. Looking at the majesty, he is actually very bumpy.
"Royal Brother"
The snow marks on the ground have long since been swept away. Behind him, the young man in brocade clothes and fine clothes on the rock patch road, his handsome facial features are slightly childish, the sun is shining brightly, and his outline looks a lot like Emperor Mu Zong.
With a series of hurried footsteps, he ran to Zhu Yijun's side.
"Brother Huang, why didn't you stop and wait for me, I called you several times." The young man treated Zhu Yijun very affectionately, and complained angrily while holding hands.
Zhu Yijun's eyes rolled around, as bright as stars in the morning, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and a fiery red fur fur with lapel was wrapped around his body.
The sunlight fell on the eyebrows and eyes, and it was amazing for a moment. Zhu Yimiao was stunned for a moment and forgot to answer.
Zhu Yijun took him by the hand and walked towards the Empress Dowager Cisheng's bedroom, and said with a playful smile, "The soul is back, the soul is back, the soul is back."
Although Zhu Yimiao is small, his face is slightly similar, and he is equally handsome and timeless. At a glance, he can tell that he is a brother by blood.
"Brother Huang is so beautiful, the best I have ever seen"
"Little one, you've only met a few people before you know what looks good."
"Brother Huang, don't underestimate people. I will stay aside when the Queen Mother meets those wives and ladies. The Queen Mother boasts that she is not as beautiful as Brother Huang."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yijun raised his hand to pat his head, rubbed it, and said angrily, "I didn't expect him to be a little pervert. It's so daring to secretly compare Brother Huang with women."
Zhu Yimiao was dizzy from being rubbed, and begged for mercy for a while, but Zhu Yijun still didn't let go.
A servant came up ahead and saluted from afar, and stood aside respectfully, waiting for the emperor to leave first.
The eunuch who delivered the decree next to the Empress Dowager Cisheng.
Zhu Yijun frowned, and couldn't help but let go of his hand, Zhu Yimiao took the opportunity to push his hand away and hide to the side.
"What is the emperor thinking?" Before Zhu Yijun could speak, he continued: "The next time the emperor wants to go out of the palace, bring me with him, and I will tell you where Qiu Deyong is going."
Qiu Deyong was the eunuch just now.
Zhu Yijun gave him a sideways look, which was quite funny, this kid has become more and more clumsy recently.He grabbed him with his hand and continued to walk forward without answering.
"He's going to Mr. Zhang's house."
After Zhu Yimiao finished speaking nonchalantly, she moved her face closer and carefully studied his expression.The corners of Zhu Yijun's eyes twitched, and he stretched out his hand to push his head away, raising his eyebrows.
"Is the emperor unhappy?"
Lu Wang was young, his intelligence and wisdom were beginning to emerge, his heart was as delicate as silk, and there was a faint smile in Zhu Yijun's eyes.
"you think too much."
"Didn't the emperor tell the queen not to reward the queen last time?"
"Who said that, you dare to eavesdrop, this is a secret, I will punish you severely."
"Ah, it hurts! Brother Huang, please be gentle. The queen mother was so angry that day. I didn't dare to go in outside the door. I accidentally heard it."
"Brother Huang, don't worry, my younger brother has let you know, the queen mother must have calmed down."
"Why are you getting more and more verbose?"
"..."
In the side hall, the Empress Dowager Cisheng was sitting on the couch with a Bodhidharma rosary emitting faint blue light in her hands. The two brothers saluted. His body is the least exposed to cold wind.
Zhu Yijun sat aside with a calm expression.On the one hand, the mother is kind and the son is filial, and on the other hand, she concentrates on studying the blue and white bowl with chrysanthemum pattern on the table.
As if he was angry, the Empress Dowager Cisheng ignored people, and he didn't want to make fun of himself.
Just as King Lu said, since that quarrel, he and the Empress Dowager Cisheng have had a grudge, and the intimacy between him and the past has become more and more lost.
When Fuer turns 30, we will discuss it at that time!
This is what the Empress Dowager Cisheng said!
Politicians raise sheep, businessmen raise pigs.Those who raise sheep, when the wool grows long, they just cut it and continue to raise it, and they will never kill the fish and break the net.But businessmen only want to raise fat pigs, and they will cut them off during the Chinese New Year, and have no plans to do long-term business.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng has always been a businessman, she has no idea of letting Zhu Yijun be in charge, maybe she will not have it before Zhang Juzheng's death.
In politics, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao often suppressed him. Zhu Yijun believed that the Empress Dowager Cisheng had ghosts in her heart, and relying on Zhang Juzheng made him do the same. 30 years, how many 30 years are there in a person's life.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng believed that Zhang Juzheng was a great talent, devoted himself to loyalty, and did not monopolize the power for his own use, and emptied the emperor.He has done a good job in the past, and in the future he will assist the government, and report to Zhu Yijun on major matters, while Zhang Juzheng handles minor matters arbitrarily. She takes on the sacred responsibility. son.
There was a rift between the two of them, and they wanted to repair it, but they drifted away.
But after a while, the three of them finished their meal with different thoughts, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng sent King Lu away, leaving Zhu Yijun to talk.
Lu Wang wanted to stay and be Zhu Yijun's regulator, but unfortunately he couldn't hold back and had to withdraw in embarrassment.
Zhu Yijun sat on the side of the soft couch, and poured a cup of Pu'er tea gracefully. His demeanor was cool and elegant, like rosemary in the dark night.The Empress Dowager Cisheng is a beautiful, dignified and beautiful woman, looking at Zhu Yijun with fascination, her eyes are full of complexities and then she is drawn away.
"Why didn't the mother go to the East Pavilion this morning?"
Zhu Yijun would read the memorials sent by the Secretary of the General Administration every morning in the East Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng would go there to sit for a while every day. Zhu Yijun sneaked out of the palace and the Empress Dowager Cisheng didn't even know it. No wonder he was surprised.
When the Empress Dowager Cisheng heard the words, she felt helpless, and said: "Early this morning, Uncle Wu Qing went to the palace to ask for an audience. I don't think I will spend the whole morning."
When Zhu Yijun heard Uncle Wu Qing, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was deeply impressed by the old patriarch Wu Qing who always called him "grandson, grandson" with an inflated sense of superiority.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng also felt uncomfortable, she was scared by Uncle Wu Qing, so she agreed to meet him and led him to the West Pavilion.She didn't want Zhu Yijun to be entangled by Wu Qingbo, who was so out of tune.
"What is Wu Qingbo doing here?"
The Empress Dowager Cisheng paused, and said lightly: "Don't worry, it's nothing, just talk to the Empress Dowager."
Zhu Yijun saw that she didn't want to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions. The Empress Dowager Cisheng never mentioned Uncle Wu Qing in front of him. Although he met at court meetings, he kept coming to Zhu Yijun to get close.
Uncle Wu Qing hurriedly came to find the Empress Dowager Cisheng, just thinking that when Zhu Yijun was the crown prince, he was Uncle Wu Qing. Now that Zhu Yijun is the emperor, should he be promoted.What he couldn't get used to even more was that he was the emperor's grandfather, but he stood behind Cheng Guogong in the court, and his son Li Gao was still the subordinate of Cheng Guogong's younger brother Zhu Xixiao. It really didn't matter, it was just an imbalance.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng took a sip of Pu'er tea, temporarily put down her father who was being plotted against, and asked, "What books did you read today?"
Zhu Yijun replied: "A copy of the impeachment of Yang Zhengmao by the prefect of Qingyuan Prefecture for corruption and Chen Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rituals, was submitted. The North Korean special envoy came to Beijing to pay tribute. The Ministry of Hospitality refused to pay. It violated the etiquette law. Please be responsible department."
After Zhu Yijun finished speaking in one breath, the Empress Dowager Cisheng asked, "What does the emperor think?"
"After issuing all draft bills to the cabinet, we will make a decision." Zhu Yijun lowered his eyes and said calmly.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang has thousands of mountains and rivers hidden in your chest, so you should listen to him." After the Empress Dowager Cisheng sighed, she said to Zhu Yijun in a gentle voice: "You should listen to Mr. Zhang carefully and learn from him. Always making troubles to make trouble for Mr. Zhang's administration."
The implication is that she will talk about the Department of the Bureau and Gaobeard's party.
Zhu Yijun listened quietly and did not speak.
After a while, he opened his mouth again.
"There is a shortage of people in the cabinet, what does the queen mother think of Wang Xilie?"
Zhu Yijun lowered his hands, and stared at the Empress Dowager Cisheng with a pair of peach-blossom affectionate eyes. She was startled, because she felt that Zhu Yijun's eyes seemed to hide emotions that she had never discovered before.
However, those eyes looked so much like Emperor Mu Zong's, which made her dazzled.
After a while, the Empress Dowager Cisheng remembered who Wang Xilie was and frowned.She doesn't like Gao Gong and regards him as a serious threat to her confidant, but Zhu Yijun let Gao Gong's followers use him.
Aren't Lu Ze and Wang Xilie the two high-ranking Hen Ha generals?
The Empress Dowager Cisheng was not happy, and just about to speak, she thought of Uncle Wu Qing's words, "Where there is a milk, there is a mother, Wang Xilie is Gao Gong's person, and now that Gao Gong has left, he has switched to someone else, this kind of person is even more useless.
*
Prince Yi's son went to Beijing.The younger brother of the vassal prince had no purpose and was not allowed to leave the fief, let alone come to the capital.
Knowing that it was Lu Xiaofeng's era, it was not difficult to guess that the powerful Tang Shu Yi Wang was the so-called Taiping King, and Zhu Yijiao, who played with him for a few years when he was young, would be Gong Jiu.
As soon as this idea was established, Zhu Yijun was instantly shocked, so that every time Yi Wang's son had an audience, Zhu Yijun would move forward, looking left and right, he was a first-class beautiful boy, a decent child, why did he become crooked in the future?
Gong Jiu is dressed in plain white clothes, with a handsome and timeless face, chic and casual.The thin lips were lightly pursed and smiling, exuding a dignified and extraordinary aura, he was indeed a handsome young man with an intimidating demeanor.
"It's not easy to see you once. I heard that the little prince is going to sea again? It seems that the harvest is not small."
Gong Jiu smiled and squinted her eyes, gentle and elegant, making people feel like a spring breeze, she moved slightly closer, and her movements were elegant and chic.Zhu Yijun held him comfortably and walked towards Qianqing Palace.
Speaking of Gong Jiu, it was really a mother who died at the age of three. It is a long story, Gong Jiu is still Gong Jiu, but the son of Prince Yi is not the son of Prince Taiping, his father is still that father, and his mother is still his own mother. It hasn't changed, but it has changed.
This is the world Gong Jiu sees after closing his eyes and then opening them again.
Gong Jiu died, at the hands of Lu Xiaofeng, but he was alive again.
Rebirth!Without the ecstasy and bewilderment of ordinary people, he accepted the fact of returning to the past in a short while, and accepted everything calmly.
King Yi has been fighting outside all year round, but there is no doubt that he loves Gong Jiu. Gong Jiu knows his ending is hit hard because the hatred for his father for more than 20 years is actually meaningless.
Gong Jiu is a genius with outstanding aptitude. He can learn all kinds of martial arts at once.However, he lived separately from King Taiping for many years, and got along with King Yi when he was a child, which made him a little uncomfortable.
And the imperial decree to let him go to Beijing to accompany the little prince still made Gong Jiu feel strange, if I remember correctly, it had never happened before.
The closer you get to the capital, the more you can feel the difference. The rivers and lakes are still the same rivers and lakes, but the court is not the same dynasty.Gong Jiu's temperament changed drastically when he was young. Since then, he was decisive, wise, gentle and unrestrained, but he takes pleasure in being abused and uses physical pain to satisfy his twisted heart. The death of his mother is a knot in his heart that he can't solve. , From then on, he hated his biological father.
He spent more than ten years building a huge network of influence, and just for revenge, he climbed to the nine poles, stepped on all living beings, and beat King Taiping severely into the mud.
For the imperial court, how could Zeng Xiao be unfamiliar with Gong Jiu, who had thought about the splendid world with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?
The joy of life is not in exploring the unknown, Gong Jiu will never be bored, because he believes that this brand new world will bring him brand new fun.This dynasty was very chaotic, both economically, militaryly and politically, but Confucianism was highly accomplished and the sense of imperial power was extremely strong.The emperor is mediocre, and he has many capable ministers under him, but he only focuses on military and border defense. The economic development has little effect, and the treasury is even more difficult to make ends meet.This country is too contradictory, this world is too powerful, in a chaotic world, I don't know where to go.
The little prince has formed his own personality at a young age, and has his own way of doing everything.Although his thoughts and behavior are a little immature, he has a lot of ideas.Gong Jiu didn't know that the biggest variable here was Zhu Yijun.
If Zhu Yijun regards Hua Yulou as his right and left hand, Jin Yiwei Zhu Xixiao is a loyal subordinate, and Yang Tinghe is a partner who grew up together, then Fa Xiaogong Jiu is an ordinary friend.
No matter how you look at it, this younger brother doesn't look like he has a mental illness, even if he hides it too deeply.As a good older brother, it is very necessary for him to correct his younger brother in time when he is crooked.
After a while, Gong Jiu smiled softly and said: "That's right, I robbed two British ships along the way and got some things, the emperor is interested to see?"
Gong Jiu pointed to the brocade box held by the waiter at the side, Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes, and joked casually: "Don't try to bribe me, if the Secretary of General Administration hadn't reported it, I still don't know that you left Taiping Mansion."
"It's not easy for Uncle Huang, so don't keep torturing him."
The country is in turmoil, and no matter how strong an individual's force is, it cannot compare with the strength of one party.If it is said that Gong Jiu could build such a huge power network in more than ten years, it would be impossible without the support of Wuming Island in the South China Sea. Shenzhou's delusion is a difficult hidden danger, and in the end he failed to kill Wu Ming. I don't know how Lu Xiaofeng will deal with him.
Gong Jiu listened quietly without answering questions.
"You are so eager to find me, it doesn't seem like you want to reminisce about the past, I have heard a little about the pepper sumac." Gong Jiu said teasingly with a rippling smile and squinted eyes.
When Zhu Yijun heard it, he gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "You are well informed. Pepper and sumac are all unreasonable things. There is a lot of trouble in Shanxi, and Yuanfu has no time now. How can he care about other things?" of."
The topic is related to pepper sumac, so I have to mention it.
Under the name of the household department, there are more than 20 warehouses in the capital, except for the banknote warehouse, the others are full.In the past few years, when the treasury was in short supply, Zhang Juzheng changed his tax collection policy and could only pay taxes in silver.In the past, tax collection throughout the country could be replaced by real goods.
Accumulated over the years, there are more than 700 types in the warehouse, ranging from pens, inks, papers, inkstones, gongs, drums, bells and tripods, to charcoal, rice, oil, salt, bamboo, wood and rattan lacquers, and most of them are items that are prone to mildew and deterioration.The pepper sumac alone has saved 10,000+ catties. There are too many sundries in the storage warehouse. Zhu Yijun always wants to raise the salary of the courtiers.
Zhu Yijun couldn't do anything to the Beijing officials with little salary, so he turned his mind on the princes, marquis, and relatives.
The two had different ideas, and it was hard to make a decision at the moment, so the matter was shelved.
Gong Jiu approached slightly, with a sense of seduction: "The emperor is so trusting, how can I not know about the matter of exchanging salary in kind, and how the emperor wants me to block those princes and grandchildren."
He said it casually, relaxed and at ease, as if those powerful and wealthy princes were just some humble soldiers.
Zhu Yijun looked strange, and said calmly: "The emperor's uncle has high authority and far-reaching prestige. I need to trouble the emperor for this matter. Minorities in the south rise up every day to make trouble. The emperor is old, and I really don't want to trouble the emperor." Said After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Gong Jiu with expectation in his eyes, pretending to sigh, "I'm still waiting for you to grow up and help me guard the south."
Gong Jiu's eyes twitched at Zhu Yijun's eyes full of pride and anticipation.His heart moved slightly, his expression proud.
Casually teasing, nodding his head and saying: "It's just a land of southern barbarians, the emperor may be overqualified."
Zhu Yijun laughed loudly and said, "Great talent? You have to use it before you know." After speaking, he winked his eyes, feeling a little bit thief.
Gong Jiu has no friends, but he is never lonely, because he can always find something more interesting to make himself happy. The first thing an ordinary person thinks of when reborn is to kill the person who ended his life, but Gong Jiu is not an ordinary person. He admires Lu Xiaofeng, Because of his character, his courage, and even more his wit, so instead of killing Lu Xiaofeng, he wanted to be friends with him.
He is extremely confident and extremely humble.Gong Jiu's behavior seems to be smooth but sharp.He can be hypocritical, but can also be as cold as ice, Gong Jiu is extremely arrogant.
student against teacher
The color is red all over, the texture is clearly visible, the overall oily luster, the texture is warm and thick, fresh and lovely, and the design is even more ingenious and exquisitely carved. There is a small round hole in the middle of the left and right sides of the jade crown. In order to insert the hosta and hold the jade crown.The hairpin is made of jasper, shaped like a cone, with a slightly curved end, and decorated with a mushroom-shaped round cap, which makes the shape of the device full of variety despite its small size, which can be described as ingenious.
This is not a bunch of crowns.
Zhu Yijun prefers accessories, and has put a lot of effort into clothing, such as hair crowns, jade pendants, and bead chains. There are various types and ingenuity.
Zhu Yijun took out the hair crown from the brocade box in Liang Yong's hand, gestured to his hands, and said with a smile: "He said he didn't want to bribe me, the red jade purple gold crown, the carving is fine, and it's something on a sea ship? Could it be that someone's grave was dug up?" !"
Gong Jiu said casually: "Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed planed."
"The mausoleum of Xi'an, belonging to the first emperor, is the emperor interested?"
"I found out that you have a huge advantage, you can die if you don't brag."
When they were talking, Zhu Yijun stroked the huge ruby lightly with his finger, his peach blossom eyes sparkled, he raised his hand and accepted it with a smile.
"The feudal prince's mansion really has some background, so I don't worry. I will add a few more tributes in the coming year, and I can't lower this level."
He made puns and smiled cunningly, very much like Yang Bo.
Hearing the words, Gong Jiu squinted her eyes, shrugged her shoulders, and sighed in a very chic way: "No more, this is the only one, and this is not an example."
"Come on, you're being stingy, aren't you? I've heard from Zhu Xixiao that the Ninth Young Master is as rich as an enemy."
He said it seriously, and even pressed Gong Jiu's shoulder to show that his words were true.
After a while, there was a lot of laughter, Gong Jiu was about to go to see the queen mother, but he didn't want to meet Hua Yulou who came to serve the book in the afternoon when he walked to the door.
Although Zhang Juzheng couldn't take care of Zhu Yijun, Feng Baoke had plenty of time to watch over him every day, and his schoolwork never stopped.
Gong Jiu had never heard of Huayulou before. The most famous flower family in the south of the Yangtze River is probably Huamanlou. He likes Huamanlou, and Huayulou is even harder to deal with.
Gong Jiu is very proud, with the pride in her bones and the dignity in her heart, she cannot tolerate any slights.Huayulou is also proud enough, people with high IQ are somewhat pretentious, and it is inevitable that they will be proud of their talents.
This is a bastard's look at peanuts, which doesn't quite match his eyes.
Sure enough, just three lines of "flower boy's shoes" and he was full of firepower, sarcasm and sarcasm, but Gong Jiu smiled like a spring breeze, a modest gentleman, but in fact he hid a knife in his smile, and a sweet sword in his mouth.
In the end, Zhu Yijun couldn't bear to see it any longer, and finally stopped, and Gong Jiu went to Ciqing Palace.
Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry to go to the study when he welcomed people in. He rolled his eyes and smiled lightly, "I didn't expect that Hua Shishu is not only a literary talent, but also a brilliant eloquent talent. Today is really an eye-opener."
Hua Yulou didn't like Gong Jiu, and she never concealed it, and Zhu Yijun was very helpless about it.
"Even if you are talented, you can't compare with His Royal Highness." Hua Yu sneered back.
It is not groundless that Huayulou doesn't like Yi Wang's son. When we first met, Gong Jiu was a gentleman, gentle and elegant, sophistry, and like a poisonous snake.Confucius and Mencius of the Ming Dynasty were deeply introspective, and Confucianism was profound, and they knew that the doubter should not be used, and the employer should not be suspicious.
In Huayulou's heart, Prince Yi's son is afraid that this is the suspect.
Spring begins to wave in the pond,
The fire is hot in early spring.
After a long time, Zhu Yijun said, "What do Hua Shishu think of Zhu Xixiao?"
Hua Yulou smiled lightly and replied: "Both civil and military, strict and upright, hard-hearted, he is a rare talent."
"If it wasn't recommended by the ninth younger brother, I still don't know that Cheng Guogong's younger brother is a general with extraordinary courage, loyalty and courage."
Hua Yulou didn't answer, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he didn't speak anymore.
Gong Jiu was away all year round, and Cheng Guoan lived in the capital, so how could he have the time to recommend someone to the emperor, Zhu Yijun closed his eyes and said nonsense.Every vassal's fief is monitored by Jin Yiwei, Gong Jiu goes out frequently, and reports in a sealed envelope, how could he not know Zhu Xixiao.
Zhu Yijun was a little distracted at this moment, and didn't expect to read any books.
After sitting down, he took Huayulou to the Royal Garden to relax.
Hua Yulou was by his side, and after walking away for a while, he began to speak meanly, his phoenix eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he said with a smile, "Your Majesty, foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the inner palace without permission, you can't break the rules for your sake."
When Zhu Yijun heard it, he was happy.He replied: "For you? It's still a little low level, you are romantic, dare to molest the harem in front of me, take care of your skin... haha."
Hua Yulou didn't care about it either, with twitchy eyes, he said, "Disaster in the harem? That's a big crime against the nine clans."
