MTL - First Prince of Ming Dynasty-Chapter 726 Return to righteousness
Chapter 726 Guiyi
A group of people walked around Fengtian Hall in a mighty way, and Habayashi Zuowei, who was in charge of guards along the way, gave way to salute. It is said that no one is allowed to come and go in this area at this time, but who dares to stop the prince.
Zhu Biao stepped into the Hall of Martial Ying, and Guiyi Hou Mingsheng had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the prince, he came forward to greet him and saluted: "My minister sees your highness the prince."
"Well, how are you resting these few days?"
Zhu Biao naturally sat on the top seat and asked with a smile, Ming Sheng had been in contact with him for a long time, and he was no longer so sincere and fearful, and replied with a smile: "I have nothing else to do after returning to Beijing, it is nothing more than to accompany Jiaci and be free. "
Mingsheng, Chen Li, etc. are in an awkward position after all. Although they are honorable in name, they have no real power under their hands. They don't even need to go to the morning court on weekdays.
A few pleasantries warmed up the scene, and Zhu Biao pointed out: "Sichuan Pingzhang's political affairs, Liu Bowen, begged for the bones again. My palace also took pity on his old, weak and sick, but the governance of Sichuan is really inseparable from others."
Ming Sheng thought that the crown prince wanted him to recommend candidates. After all, among the ministers of Ming Xia in the past, there were indeed many people with real talents and real learning. Naturally, he, the old lord of the country, knew it best.
Ming Sheng thought for a moment and bowed: "I don't dare to talk about local political affairs, but your Highness doesn't dare to slander when you ask me. I can only try to recommend a few people. I hope your Highness can make a decision with wisdom."
Zhu Biao observed Ming Sheng's demeanor and said slowly: "It's so difficult to control the military and political power of a province, and to appease the important officials of one side, especially in Sichuan, which is close to Yunnan and Guizhou. One is missing."
"This palace belongs to him."
Hou Ye was okay after hearing that, but the first sentence made me fall to my knees in fright. Since ancient times, there is no reason why a king of a subjugated country can return to his homeland, let alone go to Kaiyajian Mansion to rule and seal the border Oh, is it to test whether I have the heart of a minister?
"I dare not have such a heart...Chen...Chen...Happy here, thinking of Shu!"
Lord Hou regretted degrading himself to be a Dou who helped him rise up. It can be seen that there is no less panic. Ming Sheng did not sneer but said seriously: "Qing is not the former Lord of Shu, and this palace is not Sima Zhao. Sincerely, I am a scholar of the country. Treat each other, Wang Qing don't want to shirk."
"That...then..."
Nuo Xiao’s imperial court actually managed to find even a talented person to seal the frontiers, but after all, Qichuan’s situation is ordinary, it only connects Yunnan and Guizhou, and it is also an important place for Xiao Ming to intervene in the Nanyang countries in the future.
What is needed is a long-term stable person to govern. Liu Bowen is old, and the rest of the people with sufficient qualifications and abilities are young and old, which meet the standards in Mingsheng's mind.
Although Hou Ye is old, he is a serious old master. During the years when his father Ming Yuzhen was in power for two generations, he practiced frugality, promoted culture and education, warded off heresies, and reduced taxes. Has there been any long-term small-scale incidents in the territory? Military action.
Compared to the turmoil and the decline of the people in other parts of our country, compared to the two extremes, one side relies on great prosperity.
Prestige without talent is lack of popular reputation is very low, how to use it?
"This palace has already given an order to Marquis Yiyi to build an ancestral hall in Chengdu to commemorate your father's merits. On the day of completion, the imperial court will confer on it, and no minister in the Ministry of Rites will go to worship it in person."
My Lord Marquis can refuse, but as a son of man, I can definitely refuse that matter. I knelt down on the ground: "I thank the Lord for the kindness of God, and I hate that I can smash my body to repay it."
"It must be so, Zhu Biao, give Guiyi a seat."
Zhu Biao responded to the voice and went forward to help Master Hou, and the **** on the other side moved a brocade stool, Master Hou stood up with tears and choked up, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, please, please, please, Eunuch Liu."
Zhu Biao helped me to sit up and said with a smile: "Liu Jin, please sit down. Your Highness always says that Liu Jinxiu is out of class. His talents and virtues are unmatched by others. Now he is finally entrusted with the important task of honoring his ancestors. Jiang Jing must seize the opportunity." .”
Hou Ye is only one year older than Ming Sheng, and he can still maintain his dignity on weekdays, but in the face of the sudden little surprise and joy that caused sadness, he couldn't restrain himself for a while, and his sleeves were so soaked that he could wring out water. coming.
Ming Sheng felt a bit of compassion, of course, mainly because of whether the Ming family had any grudges with Lao Zhu's family, whether Ming Yuzhen guarded the Shu land by herself, and whether she participated in the competition in the sky, but she was the same as Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, etc. same.
I took out a handkerchief embroidered with a cloud and dragon pattern from my sleeve and handed it to Zhu Biao, and asked me to deliver it to Jiang Jing. If I get benefits, but do a good job, then I will be stingy with the punishment.
It was Tihou who was so moved and grateful when he took the scarf, and when I gradually came up, Mingsheng said: "I have asked someone to sort out the memorials and documents of Qichuan's two years of communication, and he will read them sloppily before going back." .”
Lord Hou stood up and replied solemnly: "Shu people respect Zhuge Marquis Wu the most. Although I am a lowly minister, do you have the talent of Marquis Wu to govern the country and the country? The kindness of kindness, if there is no negative relationship, willing to suffer the pain of Ling Chi."
Mingsheng believed that what I said at that time was true from the bottom of my heart, but people’s hearts rarely change. It’s another matter what I thought before returning to my homeland and encountering the old instigation and instigation. Those pasts are all important. Because Jiang Jing is a stupid person, just like Liu Chan who misses Shu.
When Yunnan and Guizhou were not pacified, Ming Xia was taken by Xiao Ming like a broken bamboo. Now that Yunnan and Guizhou are all settled, and the southern army is very powerful, Jiang Jing's rebellion is just a waste of food.
Even when it was their turn to conscript the Southern Army, the group of people who instigated and induced Hou Ye to return to the country would immediately take Jiang Jing and use him as a stepping stone for his own promotion. An emperor who rebelled and founded the country is a small feat, and it would be an exaggeration to say that he reached the sky in one step.
Those who want to come to the Marquis themselves also understand that the restoration of the country is a mistake to mislead others and themselves. If you don’t have this leisure, you should work harder to stand firm in Xiaoming, begging for the title of prince, at least the name of marquis for the prisoner. If you change it, you will leave hereditary wealth and honor to your descendants, which is to bear the spirit of your father in heaven.
Jiang Jing stood up, clapped her hands and smiled, "If I believe in him, I will doubt him again. I will work with peace of mind, and I will be rich and honored forever in the future."
"No."
The former two started talking about Qichuan's recent official documents. Hou Ye was arrogant and received the royal education of governing the country and the people, and he had also personally managed the government affairs.
Thinking about it, there will be nothing wrong with going back according to the policy plan left by Jiang Jingchun. After a few years, I have enough experience, so I have to worry about it.
Mingsheng insisted on using Jiang Jing and asked me to return to my home country to take charge of the government. The main reason was to show my political attitude. Yunnan and Guizhou include the countries of Southeast Asia, where there are many Han people and few barbarians. The status is guaranteed.
I am afraid that I will become a prisoner before surrendering, and sooner or later I will not escape death.
Ming's use of Lord Hou is also telling us that as long as he sincerely submits to Xiao Ming, he will not only enjoy wealth and honor, but also have the opportunity to be in charge of the ruling party and become a small border official in the Xiao Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Mingsheng really thinks that way. It is best to get the land and the people at the highest price. If we really have no talent, why use it.
The official career is the best cage. If you fall back, you will only want to climb down. The assimilation was completed a few generations ago. When the time comes, we will take the initiative to abandon the old inheritance, and we will desperately integrate into the glory. Sombre Xiao Ming.
A country without self-confidence is afraid of being understood, not to mention that China is a civilization disguised as a country. Its assimilation power in that era is very scary. As long as we dare to understand it deeply, we will escape.
Before Ye Sudieer became Khan, he was determined to restore Mongolian traditions. It was because too few Mongolian nobles had been assimilated by the Central Plains.
It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal, that is the reason.
