Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Regarding the local military system, for the sake of stability, he did not intend to change the model of using civil society to control military force. However, he was not superstitious about Liu Daxia and his like when it came to the selection of military talents.

In fact, many so-called good ministers and famous governors only gained status and reputation based on their qualifications, but when looking at their achievements, they often come up blank.

Although these people have been praised by the civil servants, their most praised political achievements are usually: ensuring stability and improving military discipline.

It's just that he obviously has the strength to invade. If he can't even do it like a turtle, then he can just kill him with a piece of tofu. As for rectifying military discipline, one can imagine the merit of such achievements.

Although Wang Hua has not shown any military talent so far, how can a person who can get the first prize be mediocre? As long as he really wants to do things, he can still be qualified for the post of governor of Southern Jiangxi.

Before Wang Shouren became governor of Southern Jiangxi, he actually did not show excellent military talents. As a result, when faced with King Ning's rebellion, he easily wiped out the rebel force and became one of the few talented civil servants in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, we are not looking for a general who personally leads the troops into battle to kill the enemy. With Wang Hua's knowledge, vision and wisdom, he may not really be worse than Liu Daxia and his like.

In particular, the governor of Southern Jiangxi was established for the first time, and the area under his jurisdiction was a remote place. Now that the imperial court sends a champion to go there, it will attract the attention of the people of the world.

Once the imperial court expressed its determination, with the manpower and material resources possessed by the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult for the junction of the four provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi to become a big deal.

Governing the country cannot only focus on the present, but must be based on the long term. Now that we have established the governor of Southern Jiangxi, even if we cannot kill the bandits there, we still need to prevent them from getting bigger and prevent the emergence of big rebels like the Feilong Kingdom in the future.

Zhu Youtang specially summoned the father of the saint today, firstly to examine Wang Hua's military talents, and secondly to inquire about Wang Hua's personal wishes.

After some exchanges, I realized that the scholar who could educate a saint was indeed not an ordinary person.

In fact, China has never lacked management talents. If he is allowed to be the first assistant, he may not be worse than Wan An, and since he cannot transfer the real power to Zhang Juzheng, he will also be one of the three Yang.

It was naturally impossible for Zhu Youtang to give up his power. After the meeting, he firmly decided that Hanlin Xiuzhuo Wang Huawai would be appointed governor of Southern Jiangxi, and he would have full authority to handle the Jiangxi rebellion.

Not only that, Tangbao's network will also build a direct transmission route to Ganzhou Prefecture, so that he, the emperor, can receive military information more quickly and coordinate with Wang Hua in dispatching troops more efficiently.

Only when the local area is truly peaceful, no matter what industry is supported, everyone will work together to seek development. Only in this way will it be easier to develop the economy.

After sorting out these things, Zhu Youtang gave instructions on the rebellion in Jiangxi: "Add the post of governor of the southern Gansu Tingshao Division to oversee military affairs. He will be stationed in Ganzhou Prefecture to hunt down thieves, appease the refugees, and maintain local security! Promote Wang Huahua, compiled by Hanlin, is appointed as the governor of Southern Jiangxi and will set off today without any delay!"

Since there is no Wang Yue in his prime in this dynasty, he has the right to take a gamble. Now give it a try with Wang Hua, the father of the saint. You won't make any big mistakes, and you might be able to get a famous general.

As for the appointment of Hanlin officials as local actual officials, which would break the routine promotion process of Ci ministers, as long as Wang Hua does not resist, there will naturally be no resistance.

As long as his own Palace of Cultivation of the Heart is completed, the inheritance among the ministers is destined to be broken. From now on, if you really want to get a status, you should no longer talk about your qualifications, but you must show your real ability and political achievements.

For example, Wang Hua's appointment as governor of Southern Gansu this time will naturally be abandoned if the situation in Ganzhou Prefecture and other jurisdictions deteriorates. However, if he achieves outstanding political performance, he will have the opportunity to join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future.

The crescent moon outside appears and disappears, while the candles in Dongnuan Pavilion are burning brightly, and the writing here is as bright as day.

The eighteen-year-old Zhu Youtang is a diligent king. Although his beard has not yet grown, his eyes are firm and full of wisdom, and he is transforming into a qualified emperor.

The memorials on the case were divided into categories through the clerk's room, covering all aspects of the empire's government affairs. In addition to military affairs, there were also some important ritual arrangements.

In this country of etiquette, not to mention important celebrations, since it is the birthday and death anniversary of emperors and queens of all dynasties, people are arranged to pay homage.

Zhu Youtang saw the new farming etiquette submitted by the Ministry of Rites, and saw that many processes had been cut out, and the date was chosen on February 13th, so he agreed to the request of the Ministry of Rites.

After all, it is a farming country, and the plowing ceremony still requires the emperor to personally plow the land every year in order to gain the support of the people.

I couldn't help but frown slightly when I saw that the Ministry of Rites had invited Liu Ji, the young master and the crown prince's imperial scholar, the imperial scholar of Jinshen Palace, to go to Shandong to pay homage to his ancestor Confucius.

Facing the unyielding Kong family, I really can't help but refuse to accept it.

Since the second year of Zhihe in the Song Dynasty, the eldest grandson of Confucius has been granted the title of Duke Shenggong by successive dynasties. Now, the 60th grandson of Confucius, Kong Hongtai, has succeeded to the title, and he is now the 61st generation.

Originally, this position did not fall on Kong Hongtai's head, but his elder brother Kong Hongxu exposed the ugliness of human nature, and even the descendants of Saint Kong are no exception.

Kong Hongxu maintained his noble status as the Holy Duke, and his father-in-law was Li Xian, the chief minister of the dynasty. He acted erratically and killed innocent people indiscriminately. Later, because he was exposed for exceeding the palace regulations, he was deprived of his title and deposed as a commoner, and was replaced by his younger brother Kong Hongtai.

It's just that the Kong family can become the only aristocratic family that has spanned the long river of history. Naturally, it cannot be destroyed just because of the appearance of Kong Hongxu. In fact, it has not been shaken at all. This is related to the transcendence of their status.

Not to mention the courtesy received by the Kong family in the previous dynasty, even in this dynasty, they are also constantly favored.

During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that 2,000 hectares of land should be given to the sacrificial land, and the rent should be collected every year to support the mother's sacrifice.

In addition, in order to gain a reputation as a virtuous person, emperors of previous dynasties often gave generous gifts to Duke Yan.

Ordinarily, Duke Yan was favored and generously rewarded by the court and should promote education and give back to society, but in the end he was a bunch of greedy mortals.

As the wealth in their hands increased, Duke Yan Sheng, like the officials and gentry in the world, tried to find ways to buy land everywhere to make more unemployed people their tenants.

In the fourth year of Zhengtong, the then Duke Yansheng petitioned the Ministry of Household Affairs to request 500 tenant households and 2,000 people to collect grain for sacrifices.

The Kong family not only transformed into super landowners who enslaved the people, but also spent a lot of manpower, sacrifices and property under the banner of various sacrifices.

In Qufu, sacrifices are made to Confucius fifty or sixty times a year, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, four Shangding, Four Cuoding, eight small sacrifices, as well as sacrifices to the sun, new moon, Wangri, and even the twenty-four solar terms. And different sacrifices cannot replace each other.

Not only did the Ming Dynasty not interfere, but it would send cabinet ministers or ministers of the Ministry of Rites to attend the death anniversary ceremony every year (February 18th). However, this kind of treatment really contributed to the status and arrogance of Duke Sheng.

Zhu Youtang did not have a good impression of the iron-clad Kong family, and knew that the cancer would eventually be removed.

Not to mention the ugly state of sitting on millions of acres of fertile land later, now he owns the land without paying taxes to the court, frequently sacrifices to Confucius and wastes the sacrifices, and maintains a position but loses his virtue. These will eventually be overthrown.

It's just that the status of a saint is too high, and Yanshenggong is revered by scholars all over the world. However, courtesy in the past dynasties has long been the norm, and it is impossible to eradicate him overnight.

Zhu Youtang knew that he would still be in power for at least seventeen years, so he replied to the memorial from the Ministry of Rites: "Xie Qian, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, should not be excessively extravagant and wasteful!"

Although he knew that sending Xie Qian, a Hanlin scholar, would cause trouble, he was the monarch of this dynasty after all, and he was in charge of the Thirteenth Battalion, so he did not need to be overly timid.

After dealing with the memorials related to etiquette, he started to work on the military field that he valued most.

The crux of the 12th Battalion's dispute over pay was actually the Ten Wushuns headed by Chengguo Gongfu. However, after the assassination incident, although these ten Wushun did not admit that they were the ones who instigated the soldiers to start a dispute over pay, they did not dare to add fuel to the flames. .

In fact, it's no wonder that even Marquis Qingyun was beheaded at his command, so they would naturally feel scared. Once they have something in their hands, this knife will definitely be swung down, and even their whole family will be wiped out.

Judging from the reactions of the Ten Wuhous, it is unlikely that the assassination incident was caused by the conspiracy of the Ten Wuhous. At most, it was a secret conspiracy by one or two Wuhous.

Although the controversy over pay has calmed down, the pay for soldiers in the 12th Battalion is indeed too low. In order to prevent a real brain drain, although it cannot be on par with the SHIELD battalion, it is necessary to appropriately improve the treatment of the battalion soldiers.

Zhu Youtang made changes to the military pay of the 12th Battalion. The instructions given to the Ministry of War were: "The 12th Battalion has 12 levels of pay. Horse walking and riding shooting competitions will be held for rankings. The winner will fight against the Aegis Battalion. If he wins again, he will win the Aegis." Camp and half pay!”

Since we want to strengthen our army, we must let our strength speak for itself. Not to mention that the Twelfth Battalion has no merit record at all. Now if you want to just sit back and get a high salary, naturally there is no way.

After all, things can never go as planned. Although Lin Guodong was caught and tortured by Dongchang, the reply given by Dongchang was that Lin Guodong did not reveal the mastermind behind the scenes.

From this complicated and confusing assassination incident, he found that even though he was the emperor, it was very difficult to see the true face of all his ministers.

Perhaps for this reason, he does not believe that anyone can be absolutely loyal, nor is he superstitious about so-called loyal ministers. Now he is trying his best to put people who can do things in suitable positions, using political performance as the assessment criterion, and becoming an emperor with clear rewards and punishments.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest!" Liu Jin walked over lightly and announced with concern.

Zhu Youtang has gradually become accustomed to this kind of life. Since there are dozens of people serving him, he does not feel too sleepy, and he is even quite energetic now.

What needs to be done has been done, and there are other arrangements for tomorrow, so I decided to go back and rest.

Since the temperature has warmed up in spring, we no longer live in the narrow and relatively closed room, but are arranged to live on the left side of the first floor.

When Zhu Youtang returned to the inner room, he only had to stretch out his hand, and several palace maids came forward to change his clothes.

Since he had the habit of washing his face before sleeping, as soon as he sat on the edge of the bed, someone would come forward to clean his face.

Fan Jinling, a girl full of body fragrance, came to the bed, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness. When cleaning Zhu Youtang's face, he was even more careful than he was with his own face, wiping even his brows carefully and carefully.

Zhu Youtang's eyebrows are thicker, and his skin is like snow at the age of eighteen. Fan Jinling couldn't help but sigh that Zhu Youtang's skin is really good.

Just when Fan Jinling was about to help clean the other eyebrow, a strong heart suddenly stretched out and grabbed her wrist, causing Fan Jinling's pretty face to panic instantly, wondering where she had gone wrong.

Zhu Youtang saw Fan Jinling's panic reaction in his eyes and realized that this girl who always liked to unbutton a button in front of him was still a paper tiger after all.

Just because of her performance in the competition last time, although I can't be 100% sure that this girl has no selfish motives, the fact that she jumped on her at that critical moment at least proved her courage and stance.

What's more, this girl's body is really soft and fragrant.

Zhu Youtang didn't wait for Fan Jinling to react, then hugged her small waist to his body, and then carried this fragrant girl to his dragon bed.

At the age of eighteen, there is no need to be overly restrained, and now men are even more scarce in the palace. You really need to be very kind to this girl who is interested and loyal to you.

When Liu Jin saw this, he immediately shooed away all the eunuchs and maids around him, but he knew that this one might become one of his new mistresses.

Fan Jinling was panicked at first and had no idea where he went wrong. It wasn't until he saw Zhu Youtang's lustful eyes that he bit his lower lip with joy.

Her teasing finally echoed.

It was not easy to come to Qianqing Palace among so many palace maids competing for her. Being able to lie on this dragon bed now was even more of a blessing that she had cultivated for three lifetimes, not to mention that she had already given her heart to the most powerful man in the world.

"Aren't you afraid?" Zhu Youtang asked with a smile when he saw the girl biting her lower lip.

Fan Jinling seemed to be afraid that he would not be able to express his feelings clearly if he spoke too slowly, so he shook his head vigorously.

"Don't move!" Zhu Youtang saw the girl's first button unbuttoned almost every day, as if she wanted to explore the secret inside.

Pingping is more than fifteen years old, and the cardamom leaves are in early February.

The spring breeze is ten miles away on Yangzhou Road, and it is not as good as rolling up the bead curtain.

…

Zhu Youtang looked at the artwork presented in front of him, as if he was having a long sweet dream, even if the most beautiful person in the world was in front of him, he would take the initiative to flatter him.

When encountering photo scams, netizens have to make sure to finish with tears. At this moment, Zhu Youtang is unleashing his nature here, while Fan Jinling has become familiar from being unfamiliar, and even shows a strong talent.

Meow!

A little tabby cat escaped from the cage again, but found that something strange happened in Qianqing Palace tonight, and the sound of bells could be heard intermittently.

But its focus was not on the sound of the bells, but on chasing a little mouse. Tonight in the Qianqing Palace, the cat was chasing the mouse, and the bells were composing the... music of the night.
