Chapter 295 Make good use of the opportunity to report directly to the boss (Part 1)
The emperor's treatment of Ma Xianglin was "better" than what Zheng Haizhu prayed for.
Because, even if most of Ma Xianglin's troops were reduced, and even if he was only allowed to take a few servants and become a small garrison for a military fort, he was actually placed in a more important place.
Obviously, Qin Liangyu's achievements in countering rebellions for the empire many times, as well as Ma Xianglin's own tough battle against Huang Taiji, made the core power levels of the empire, from the emperor to his ministers, still retain their trust and reliance on the people of Shilichuan.
The "Northern Barbarians" in Zhu Changluo's mouth refer generally to the various Mongolian tribes.
There is a saying in later generations that makes people's ears prick their ears. It says that the Ming Dynasty was the most upright dynasty in China. It did not cede land or make marriages. The emperor guarded the country and the king died in the country.
However, no matter how strong the integrity is, it cannot disguise the real battle situation.
After the Tumubao Incident, although Yu Qianyu Shaobao saved the empire with a battle to defend the capital, the Ming Dynasty was defeated by Emperor Yingzong, who acted like a club manager and played football, and lost all the most capable military elites.
.
The so-called "guarding" of the emperor's defense of the country, to be more precise, means half a century of majesty and two hundred years of cowardice.
Just take the Gengxu Incident during the Jiajing period as an example. Yan Song said, "The defeat at the border can be concealed, but the defeat at the capital can't be concealed." The Ming army fought behind closed doors and watched Anda Khan burn, kill, loot and return to the capital.
The Northern captives abused the Ming Dynasty, and they never failed to show up. Finally, during the Longqing period, the grandson of Anda Khan, because his grandfather had robbed his woman, led his people to the Ming Dynasty to seek submission, and the court took this opportunity.
Taking this opportunity, they negotiated peace with Anda Khan and opened many border ports for mutual trade.
After that, the imperial court regularly paid "reward fees" to the Northern captives, similar to the "year coins" given to the Liao or Xixia in the Northern Song Dynasty.
At the forefront of the Northern Territory, at the Xuanda front line, Xuande Town only lasted one year during the Wanli period, and the rewards were two to three hundred thousand taels of silver.
At this moment, in the West Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zheng Haizhu stared at the Rui Tan, which had no smoke but was highly efficient in heat dissipation, and praised without hesitation: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise. You asked General Ma to go to the border. It not only shows your magnanimity, but also shows your magnanimity.
It is also an act of knowing how to make good use of soldiers."
Zhu Changluo felt a little complicated when he heard that her reaction to Beilu was to directly mention the word "Xuan Da".
A woman, just because she runs around the docks and gets along well with the military generals, she really knows a lot. What are the border towns in the north and the east? Who should I guard against? I, the prince of the deep palace, also know a lot.
It was only after I sat on the throne that I began to understand.
Zhu Changluo's eyes fell on the map of the nine-sided city that he and Ye Xianggaoyi had just looked at.
Soon, he said in a warm tone: "Master Zheng, don't put such high hat on me. I have only been on the throne for a few days? I already know how to fight. It's just Master Ye, Master Sun, and Master Dong who taught me well in the past. Let me
I understand the principle of following what is good. After I came to the throne, the memorials that discussed the border affairs in Liaodong were met with a soft reception, but they were mostly superficial. Only an unemployed official named Xiong Tingbi connected Jiannu and Beibei, and urged the court to do so.
Jing Lue Xuan Da Xian. Hmm? Master Zheng also knows this person?"
As Zhu Changluo was talking, he saw that when Zheng Haizhu heard "Xiong Tingbi", his face was obviously eager to speak, so he naturally asked.
Zheng Haizhu thought to himself, if you don't mention Xiong Tingbi's name as emperor today, I will too.
She then started to talk in a lively manner: "Back to Your Majesty, I was in Liaodong a few years ago, and I often heard people talking about Mr. Xiong. It turns out that Mr. Xiong was on patrol more than ten years ago and passed through Liaodong.
He was highly praised by the late emperor for his work in farming and building forts. I was curious as to how such a minister of the country could have returned to his hometown without having time until he met Ding You. Your Majesty mentioned it today, that would be great. Mr. Xiong can manage Liaodong, and you know
The Beibei incident should also be able to be summarized and announced. Furthermore, this time the Jin Yiwei caught a spy in the Shanxi merchants, which made me have to think deeply. I thought about the old things all night long, and my mind was filled with Beibei.
The importance of Jiannu and Zhangjiakou to declare the Great Border is no less important than that of Liaozuo."
When Zheng Haizhu said the last few sentences, the energy of his eloquent conversation suddenly dropped a little, and he showed a sense of hesitation and stopped speaking.
Zhu Changluo said solemnly: "What is this old thing? Why is it important? But it doesn't matter. I am alone in ordering you to come to Xinan Pavilion because I know how you, a woman, can enter the court and discuss matters in the cabinet? But I want to hear what you said.
.”
Zheng Haizhu hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Your Majesty, the so-called old thing is that after the death of the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant Zhang Siwei encouraged the Shanxi imperial officials to impeach Feng Bao until Zhang Juzheng was liquidated. After that, the Jin Dynasty
Whether in the officialdom of the court or in the eight-way trade route with Zhangjiakou as the center, the momentum is getting stronger and stronger. Your Majesty, I dare to say that if Xuanda is an important town with Mongolia in the north and Liao Dynasty in the east, the rich people in this town will
With their children serving as officials in the court, and the servants they support having fighting prowess comparable to that of the border troops, does Your Majesty think you can still control them? Those Shanxi salt merchants, silk merchants, tea merchants, mule and horse merchants, and even women traders who are entrenched in Zhangjiakou
These young and hard-working tooth merchants, Your Majesty thinks, are they usually closer to the Northern captives and Jiannu, or to the common people of the capital?"
There was a soft "clang" sound, and the blue and white porcelain tea lid that Zhu Changluo was playing with fell to the desk.
Wang An, who was standing behind him, quickly took out the silk towel he brought with him and stepped forward to wipe away the water marks.
Zhu Changluo lowered his eyes and looked at Wang An's movements, and said with a faint sneer: "It is much more difficult to wipe the place that is beyond the reach of the whip. Wang Banban, isn't it?"
Wang An said in a harmonious voice: "Long live the Lord, if we see the dirty place, we can clean it up bit by bit. It won't be that difficult."
Zhu Changluo pursed his lips slightly and nodded: "I just like the style of you and Master Zheng, and Ye Xianggao, they are all people who dare to help me make decisions. I understand, Xiong Tingbi, Ma Xianglin and others are Wang Ban
With this silk scarf in your hand."
Wang An leaned forward, and his old voice trembled just right: "How virtuous and capable are slaves? To protect the country for Long Live Lord, we have to rely on the virtuous ministers and generals outside the palace."
Zhu Changluo leaned back on the dragon chair, closed his eyes to rest for a moment, suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes again, turned his head and said to Wang An: "When you talk about big things, you forget about small things. Return the handkerchief to Master Zheng."
"
Wang An responded with a sigh, turned around and took out something from the cabinet drawer, and his eyes met with Cao Huachun who was standing at the bottom. Cao Huachun hurriedly came up to take it and handed it to Zheng Haizhu.
The blend of indigo Songjiang cloth and carmine red velvet is exactly the handkerchief that disappeared in the dressing room of Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Changluo did not beat around the bush, and said helplessly to Zheng Haizhu: "You dropped this veil in the palace, and someone picked it up without knowing the importance, and put it in my Qianqing Palace, which made Empress Li angry. Fortunately, the servants said it and She knows that Empress Dongli and Princess Ningde both have them."
Cao Huachun discussed this matter with Zheng Haizhu when he was leading the way today. He praised Zheng Haizhu for his good remedial ideas after being alert that day. Finally, he also emphasized that Long live the Lord has no intention of tracing who put the veil.
After listening to the emperor's words now, Zheng Haizhu would not be stupid enough to add another handful of firewood to the stove where the flames were extinguished.
The emperor has enough troubles every day, so why would he want to be jealous of a woman in the palace and spend more time on it? As long as the woman doesn't make trouble.
Zheng Haizhu hurriedly took the veil, blamed himself for not paying attention, and continued to seize the time to make the most of this opportunity to have a direct meeting with the emperor.
After giving Shanxi merchants a needle, another thing must not be left behind.
