A few days passed quickly, and it was already April in the blink of an eye. Because Yunxi was in a hurry, Fang Mingqian returned to Hangzhou very quickly, and quickly organized two thousand-household naval forces.
Then it came out in early April.
Of course the two selected Thousand Households were unwilling. It was not as if the two Thousand Households had no backers, so they wanted to refuse.
But Fang Mingqian was very bold this time. Without Yunxi's authorization, he spoke to two Qianhu, deputy Qianhu and other officials and said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the exploration to the north, and said that although it is not necessary
Fighting, but the severe cold in the north is more of a threat to soldiers than pirates."
"And His Majesty also told me that he will not begrudge the position of a marquis. If I can get a marquis, your future will be much smaller! Even the soldiers below will probably be greatly rewarded."
At that time, a member of the Qianhu family said, "Are you telling the truth?" He was very moved when he heard it.
After listening to his words, Fang Mingqian knew that he must have believed it, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Why is it not true? You all know how I am in normal times. And if I tell lies this time, then it is a lie.
The imperial edict is to lose your head. I have always been cautious, and you all know that. How could I take such a big risk?"
The two Qianhu and several deputy Qianhu thought about it. Fang Mingqian has always had a good reputation and no one has ever heard of him telling lies. Moreover, he has always been cautious and would not dare to speak casually.
So everyone was fooled by Fang Mingqian. Who would have thought that Fang Mingqian, who has always been cautious all his life, would be so bold this time.
Yunxi, who was in the capital, breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Fang Mingqian had led the navy out.
Later, on the second day of April, when Yunxi returned to Qianqing Palace from court, the young eunuch Huang Lu was waiting at the gate and said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, Master Qin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, is here."
After Yunxi heard this, he did not go into the place where he usually dealt with the papers, but came to the place where he usually met these cronies.
Qin Song immediately saluted Yunxi after seeing him, and his attitude was very respectful, which was somewhat different from his previous attitude.
Yunxi knew that because of the internal power corruption case, he had been a little irritable recently and had a lot of suspicions about his cronies. People who are not very sensitive may not feel it, but Qin Song, as a qualified Jinyiwei commander, can
People must be very sensitive, so they naturally feel it.
Yunxi has now basically calmed down his irritable mood due to the internal corruption case and his suspicions about his cronies. However, the gaps in the relationship caused by the suspicions are not so easy to make up. That's all for the others. Qin Song is a Jin Yiwei.
Commander, if there is a gap in the relationship, the problem will be big.
But Yunxi can only make up for it slowly now.
Yunxi helped Qin Song stand up and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite?"
Qin Song didn't insist on finishing the salute and stood up.
Yunhe exchanged a few pleasantries and asked, "What are you here to report today?"
Qin Song said: "Didn't Your Majesty ask me to investigate the situation of various government offices in the capital twenty days ago? I am here to report today."
"Oh." Yunxi reached out and took Qin Song's report and read it.
After reading the report, Yunxi came to the conclusion: At present, various yamen misinterpret Yunxi's meaning, whether they really do not understand it or deliberately misinterpret it. There are quite a few such things; however, there are very few cases of corruption.
In fact, Yunxi has no good way to deal with those who misinterpret Yunxi's meaning. If they have caused huge losses to the yamen or harmed the people, Yunxi can find out and deal with them, but if they cause things to be slightly biased or delayed It took time, but it didn't cause any damage, and there was nothing he could do.
However, what makes Yunxi more gratified is that since he succeeded to the throne and adjusted the official salary, the corruption of officials in Beijing has been reduced a lot. The previous incident of Jiangning County Magistrate was a special case, so Yunxi got the opportunity to speak to the court. .
So Yunxi said: "Qin Aiqing, please send someone to keep an eye on the Yamen in Beijing. There is no need to keep an eye on him so closely."
Qin Song said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yunxi continued: "How many of the Jinyiwei from other places can you master?"
Qin Song said without thinking: "The Jinyiwei branch offices in Zhili are already under control, as well as the provinces of Beiping, Shanse, Shandong, Henan, Huguang, Changxi, and Zhejiang."
"But the six provinces of Sanqin, Bashu, Yongjian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan are still a little behind. Although they dare not violate the orders on the surface, they don't know whether they will work hard in private. The progress is not good, please still ask Your Majesty punishes me."
Yunxi imagined the location of these six provinces in his mind, and found that they were exactly a circle and a half from northwest to southeast, and they were also the six provinces furthest from the capital.
So Yunxi said: "Is there anything I can punish you for? You are not from Jinyiwei's family, and Jinyiwei is not a newly established yamen. It is normal that you cannot fully control Jinyiwei who is far away from the capital."
After that, Yunxi gave Qin Song a few more instructions, and then said: "I have nothing to tell you anymore. You can go down."
Qin Song turned around and left.
Next, Yunxi took out the "Da Ming Hui Dian" that Zhu Yuanzhang personally drew up and revised many times.
Since Yunxi's trust in ministers was shaken to a certain extent, he has returned to what countless people called the 'system' in his previous life. Although Yunxi actually believes that any system has loopholes, a good system It can also reduce the problem of corruption and bending the law.
Yunxi had no other reference books around him, so he had to turn to the "Da Ming Huidian" to read it.
It doesn't matter at first glance. After reading it, Yunxi really realized that in fact, the system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang was almost perfect in this era. If every emperor in later generations followed Zhu Yuanzhang's method, until the population increased to Until Daming is completely overwhelmed, Daming will not be finished.
The system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang has detailed regulations on the work of officials in each position. It can be called a tutorial for fools. The checks and balances of power are also very well arranged and almost without loopholes. Zhu Yuanzhang just failed to estimate one thing, that is, the emperor himself level of diligence.
Historically, as the emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty became more and more lazy in government, especially the two emperors Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Houzhao, in the Zhu Houcong era, he still regained some of his power by relying on his own abilities, but by the Wanli period, he could no longer restore it. Already.
Although Yunxi felt that he was not smart, he wanted to make up for this only problem.
