Tongtong also knew that this was unreliable! With such a disparity in strength, no clever method could achieve the desired effect.
You have to calm down!
But being calm doesn't mean doing nothing. Supervisor Tian kept coming in and out from the back door every now and then, and Lin Yutong received more and more information on gifts. She listed the files in categories, "Don't worry, I'll have to settle accounts with you."
The Jinyi Guards have guards stationed in the mansion, and Liu Qiao must come to report every day. The Fourth Master asks Liu Qiao to pick people, and they must be close friends. These people are ordered to do only one thing, and that is to go to various places to collect more detailed information about the vassal.
Wang's information. Only those who know themselves and their enemies are active. Don't be afraid of details, but be afraid of not being detailed.
We are even more generous with money. As long as it is really needed, we can’t give anything else now, but money is indispensable.
In the eyes of outsiders, the fourth master is just observing filial piety. The adults in charge have nothing to do with the matter of Jinyiwei, and it is none of their business how they supervise him. In fact, they are too busy to care about this person at all.
Liaodong suffered such a huge defeat, it can be said that it is facing unprecedented pressure. Who is not worried?
The more you suffer defeats, the more you need money. If the soldiers and generals are not appeased, the hearts of the people will be scattered.
First, 360,000 taels of tax money were urgently allocated. This amount was really too small. What should we do? The emperor said that all the expenses of the palace should be added to it, and he would see if he could raise more money and send it to Liaodong together.
.
Where can this 'where's money' be? What the emperor means is, look, I have taken the palace's daily expenses, so you can take out the small treasury of each yamen and make up for it first.
!
But I don’t know if this meant that the clever adults didn’t hear it or didn’t understand it. Anyway, in the end, the 360,000 yuan and the palace expenses were sent to Liaodong for payment.
The Fourth Master was in the study, and Wang Cheng sorted out the news from the court and sent it in, "The situation in Liaodong and other places is indeed not optimistic. Of course, the most important thing is funding, which is not a small amount! Replenishing troops and horses is important, and armaments and armaments are important.
However, I feel that the compensation for the fallen soldiers is the top priority. Your Majesty, this is the document that Huang Jiashan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, just handed over to your Majesty today..."
Fourth Master reached out and took it, looked at it, and then added Huang Jiashan's name on a booklet.
Lin Yutong glanced over and saw that this brochure was about Liao's salary. What Wang Cheng said before was described in more detail in his brochure, and he gave a solution to Liao's salary. She detailed it again
After reading it again, "This is a mature and prudent statement!"
You have good eyesight! But you don’t remember Navy Commander Huang Jiashan, right? This man is also a famous minister! The old man must be seventy this year. He recruited this man back to serve as Minister of War for the war in Liaodong.
This man's talent is truly remarkable!
"This is to mobilize all the money that can be used up and down!" Lin Yutong was worried, "Can it really be mobilized?"
Well, it depends on who is in charge: this Huang Shangshu is very good at being in charge.
Tongtong always read history books thoroughly. So he explained: "This old Mr. Huang is amazing. He was born as a Jinshi. He became an official at the time of Zhang Juzheng's reforms. He supported Zhang Juzheng's reforms very much.
The execution was also very thorough. After that, he abandoned his civil service and joined the army, and was ordered to face the crisis. He stationed at the border for 20 years and shocked Ningxia. The border was stable for 20 years. Not only did he make achievements in the war, but the key was that he was extremely skilled in border affairs. He protected the people and the border.
Open border trade to prevent conflicts, and let the people rest and recuperate. Now the first-level minister has added the title of crown prince and Taibao."
The Ming Dynasty would have been doomed long ago if it hadn't been for the endless emergence of such officials. Look, at the critical moment, such ministers can still be relied upon.
It's a pity that the old man is old, and I don't know how many years he can last. But this person in charge of the Ministry of War is like a needle that stabilizes the sea, stabilizing the situation again.
Wang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little sad on his face. He calmed down and said: "By the way, today there is a military member named Wang Yuanya who handed over a post. I didn't pay attention to it before.
When I was sorting it out just now, I found a statement included in his post..." He took it out of his sleeve and handed it over.
The fourth master took it in his hand and glanced at it, then he understood, "I will send him a message tomorrow and tell him what he means. I know what he means. I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow and I will ask him. If I have an answer, I will
Tell him." After that, he warned again: "Be polite when you meet others, and don't be arrogant."
yes!
The Fourth Master took the note and read it again and again, and then finally put it aside, "This person has given advice and suggestions to the palace before, but the palace has never responded. Some of his ideas are fine, but this is
People don't know how to be an official, and they don't know how to choose the right time. Among his six policies, the first one is to strictly punish him. It happened that when the whole court was talking about trying to plead guilty to Yang Hao, he was caught in the middle of it and offered advice.
Therefore, his book could be approved, but it could not be approved at that time."
Lin Yutong took the note and read it, "The provisions and nuclear tanks he mentioned are actually quite feasible."
Well! The fourth master wrote this person's name in a small book again, but it also had symbols. It showed that this person could not be an official, but he could do things. As long as he did things, it really didn't matter whether he could be an official or not.
But you really need to pay attention to this person, otherwise he may die in a certain position without being able to get ahead. If the superiors don't mention it, the people above him will forget about this person, but he will be buried.
Since he agreed, the fourth master had to go to the palace to ask.
As a result, Emperor Wanli pointed to the east and said, "Did you see that? The books... left on that bookshelf are all for your father. He will have to deal with them in the future..."
So, aside from the things that the prince will have to do as soon as he ascends the throne, there are also people who can help him as soon as he helps him.
The fourth master looked at Emperor Wanli in front of him. He was much thinner than last year. His hair was gray, and his skin was sagging and sagging, making him look more and more old. He was a dying old man at this time, and he was always there.
Waiting for death to come.
At this time, what should Fourth Master say? What else can be said?
He left the palace without further mention. Emperor Wanli's days were indeed numbered.
Chen Ju knew this best. The emperor's appetite was almost gone. He drank several bowls of medicine a day, but he couldn't let anyone know about it. Last year, he could still confuse things by summoning his concubines. Now, he is afraid that people will talk too much and leak the news.
You can only call Concubine Zheng 'sleeper' to fool the ministers outside.
At this time, he cannot let anyone know that he is not in good health.
Chen Ju helped the emperor sit up, and then said: "You have to hold on! King Jian encountered the death of his mother, and this delay...I am afraid it will delay a lot of things."
Emperor Wanli pointed to the highest grid and said, "Go get the box."
yes!
Chen Ju took it and handed it over. Emperor Wanli waved his hand, "Give it to King Jian... Give it to King Jian..."
Okay! I will send it to you when you get back.
Emperor Wanli's eyes were cloudy, "...is it that the Ming Dynasty is almost over?"
No! Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty will last forever.
Emperor Wanli was speechless. After a while, he asked again, "How is the Queen...?"
"It's not good! The queen doesn't say anything either."
Yes! I can’t speak.
Chen Ji whispered, "Concubine Zheng has inquired many times and said that if the queen is in poor health, she would like to invite Prince Fu to return to the capital. She must show her filial piety no matter what." This is the idea of deposing the prince so as to establish Prince Fu.
! Emperor Wanli coughed one after another, "Honestly, how is Prince Fu doing in his fief?"
"Luoyang is a treasure land."
Yes! It is a treasure land there. Then King Fu will have no shortage of money, food and soldiers!
Chen Ji lowered his head and said "yes".
"Then tell me, why doesn't he move? What is he afraid of?"
Chen Ju didn't dare to speak and just stood on the side.
Emperor Wanli sighed, "I have to find a way to get him to move... If it works, it will work, but if it doesn't work... King Jian will make up for it..."
Chen Ji felt that the emperor might be a little confused sometimes. He did not dare to listen any more, so he had to take the box and said, "Send it to Prince Jian, my servant."
Uh-huh! Send it to me! Emperor Wanli waved his hand.
What was given?
Fourth Master gave the box to Tongtong, and Tongtong took out something and looked at it. It was a jade sign that said, "I am here in person." This thing is a bit old!
"This was passed down from the founding of the country." The fourth master didn't take it too seriously, "Keep it, you may not be able to use it." Emperor Wanli was afraid that he would suddenly disappear, and his wings were not yet strong. As soon as the prince came to power,
Just take the power from yourself. If this is the case, then he is the king and the father, who can suppress him? This thing is meant to save lives in critical moments.
But can Fourth Master get into that role?
Tongtong accepted it casually and asked about the news from the palace, "It seems the situation is not good?"
Hmm! If you continue to live like this, you will definitely not live a long life.
There were no major disasters on this day this year, but there were no natural disasters, but man-made disasters came again.
First, in Liaodong, Yang Hao was suppressed and not punished, but Xiong Tingbi was appointed as the censor to comfort Liaodong. Then when troops were sent to reinforce Liaodong, the reinforcements from all walks of life did not reach the place, and the reinforcements began to flee, and those who escaped accounted for about half of the reinforcements.
There are also generals who fled with their soldiers.
The news had just reached the capital, but bad news came again. A man named Li Xin came out of Fujian. This man colluded with the pirates and led a team of more than a thousand people to rebel! Even the year name was decided.
'Hongwu'. I used the reign name that Zhu Yuanzhang had used for thirty-one years as the reign name. Isn't this ironic?
It is said that the news came that Emperor Wanli coughed up blood.
Although this group of people did not succeed and were exterminated within two months, this means that after Liaodong became unstable, the people began to make trouble and the coastal defense became unstable! They even colluded with pirates.
As soon as this incident came out, it became more and more important that matters in Liaodong became more important. What the DPRK meant was that Xiong Tingbi was a talented person, so he should be allowed to manage Liaodong. Unfortunately, this person had not yet taken office, and was still on his way to Liaodong.
In that month, Liaodong lost Tieling again.
Fortunately, Xiong Tingbi rushed over and stabilized the situation. Otherwise, there would be countless people who just abandoned the city and fled.
Once the situation is stabilized, what needs to be done is to raise funds. We need to prepare for war! This cannot be achieved by empty words.
Where is the money? There are so many rich people in the world. Most of those standing in the court are fat and dripping with fat. But who is going to take it out?
This started the next round of increasing land tax and increasing wages. If this increase continued, it would be difficult for the people to collect the income for the whole year, and they would be finished again.
Tongtong pushed the collected information to Fourth Master: "Are you able to move?"
Fourth Master pressed the information into his hands, "If we really want to do it, we can do it with or without these things. But why not do it?" He shook his head, "Emperor Wanli's health is really bad, he added taxes,
It is to enable the prince to be kind to the people and reduce the burden in the future..." So, don't bother. That is a man who is about to die, and he can't listen to anything he says now.
Tongtong searched in his mind, which year did the Wanli Emperor disappear? The forty-eighth year of Wanli?
In other words, "Half a year left?"
Yes! In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli passed away!
It was also this year that Fourth Master and Tongtong officially entered the stage of history...
