Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 89: Liu Jin discussing politics
On May 18, Zhengde Emperor boarded Cheng'anmen (Tiananmen) to swear to the world, and the new emperor ascended the throne.
He put the Bingguo edict in the mouth of a golden phoenix, tied the golden phoenix with a yellow silk ribbon, and the chief **** of the **** put Jinfeng down along the battlements, and the official of the Ministry of Rites downstairs kneeled on the ground and used his hands high. The golden lacquered plate decorated with clouds received the decree, and then the flying horse sent it to the Ministry of Rites to copy and print it to the world. Zhengde officially became the emperor of Great Ming, which is the "Golden Phoenix Edict".
Then Zhengde Emperor returned to the Jinluan Hall surrounded by hundreds of officials, boarded the dragon chair, and received the greetings from the Baiguans. At this time, the vassal kings and the ambassadors and heyis of the Siyi countries were still on their way.
Zhengde was in place and immediately announced the three imperial decree of Bingguo, and the ministries and departments immediately implemented it vigorously.
The first imperial decree was the funeral commander who was thrown into jail on the first day of his post, and Wang Qiong of the Ministry of Etiquette had long drawn up, "Da Tianming Dao Chuncheng, Zhongzheng, Zhongzheng, Zhongzheng, Sage, Wen, Wu, and Dade, Emperor Xiaozong" His Majesty is on the funeral and asks the whole country for funeral.
The subjects are all filial piety, and the hats are wrapped with white cloth. After the new emperor ascended to the throne, the Beijing official still had to wear hemp and filial piety, and was not allowed to wear court boots instead of straw sandals, and took off the two wings of the veil and replaced it with two white cloths hanging down to the shoulders.
30,000 bells ringing in large and small temples, day and night. Within three days, officials from all four ranks and above went to Palace of Heavenly Purity in batches to deliver spirits, each crying 15 times, under the command of the ceremonial staff member Wailang, all the crying personnel coordinated at one time, crying when crying, and stopping at one stop , Palace of Heavenly Purity is like playing a symphony.
The second imperial decree was negotiated by Zhengde Emperor with three academicians and six Jiuqing, and finally settled with the threat of improper emperor, and ordered the Ministry of Rites Zuo Shi Lang Li Jie, Qin Tian Jian Supervisor Deputy Ni Qian, and Si Li Supervisor and **** Dai Yi, Zuo Shilang Li Duo of the Ministry of Industry, and Shenjiying Zuoshao Army Counselor Yang Ling admiral supervised and supervised the construction of the Tailing project of Hongzhi Emperor.
Although forced by the Zhengde Emperor to play rogues, the cabinet scholars had to give in and put Yang Ling among the officials responsible for supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum, but they deliberately placed him at the bottom in terms of the imperial decree, but they had no ambitions. Yang Ling can't bear the pain Zhengde Emperor has done to him, he doesn't care at all.
For others, supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum is not only a glorious thing, but also a great help for future promotion. Yang Ling is eager to give instructions. He just needs to run errands. Asking him to preside over the ceremony and run around in the cemetery every day, Mo said he doesn't have that ability, and he is not very happy in his heart.
The scholars made things difficult for him. Now Yang Ling is only in charge of commanding tens of thousands of officers and soldiers transferred from the Five Army Capital and Three Battalions to serve. Once the personnel are in place, the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Engineering, and Qintian The supervisor started gesticulating. Yang Ling almost became an idler. People didn't bother to see him. He didn't have to be there every day, but he was happy and at ease.
The third edict Zhengde Emperor raised the butcher knife, and cast all the scumbags he had suffered on the civilian officials on the hapless ghosts. Because Emperor Xiaozong bleeds suddenly after taking the medicine, Zhang Yu, the **** who served Emperor Xiaozong to take the medicine, Liu Wentai, the imperial doctor Gao Ting and the sentenced to be executed, the imperial hospital ambassador Shi Qin was dismissed, and the Taichang Temple was too young. Qing Li Zongzhou and other relevant officials were demoted and released.
It is inexplicable that more than a dozen generals waiting to participate, such as Bao Jinchen, deputy sergeant of Shenjiying, Liu Shiyong, chief of the capital, and Bao Jinzhong, procurement officer, are also dragged to Caishikou to accompany them. General Bao Shen and Liu Dusi were taken from the prison, but Bao Jinzhong came from Jin Yiwei, and it took a lot of effort for the supervisor to verify his body.
Although Qian Ning is very considerate to him, he doesn’t need to pump the intestines, exercise, hang the spine, gouge his knees, and scrub the horrible punishments, and he has been tossed in disarray. Even his cousin, Mr. Bao, does not recognize him. Come out of him.
At that time, all the criminals in the court were unremarkable, but Bao Bao was happily procured, stretched his neck eagerly and waited for the knife to win the crowd cheering for a while.
Miao Kui is secretly investigating the king of Tibet who bought the guns and ammunition under the secret order of the first emperor. This matter is of great importance. Hongzhi Emperor asked him not to even tell Zhu Houzhao before checking it out, so Zhengde didn’t know. This matter.
When Miao Kui heard about the sudden decree issued by Emperor Zhengde, he immediately rushed to the temple to shout "Knife under the knife". Unfortunately, when he got there, only the families of the deceased were carrying them. The coffin gathered the corpse and gave it to the cemetery.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the affairs of the country were heavy. The three academicians were very busy. They did not forget the colleague in the jail, but repeatedly asked Zhengde Emperor to pardon Wang Qiong for the crime of disrespect, but Zhengde did not grant it at all. Bother.
There are six Jiuqing lords who have taken care of him. Wang Laoshangshu did not suffer at all in prison, but such an old official was kept in prison for more than ten days. The courtiers inevitably talked about it. They did not dare to slander the emperor. I couldn't help but feel angry at Yang Ling. Most of these civilians saw Yang Ling pass by with a cold face, which made Yang Ling very embarrassed.
Yang Ling actually helped Wang Qiong many times to say good things, but when Zhengde remembered that the old guy was standing in front of him, he spit on his face, his arrogant appearance was extremely hateful, so I sincerely wanted to give it to him. A lesson, so even Yang Ling's plea is not allowed.
At this time, the imperial horse jailer had just been transferred back to the palace by order. Yang Ling and Miao Kui handed over the imperial ban. Since they left five hundred guards in the palace, other officers and soldiers were immediately dispatched to Tailing to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb. Everything came to a halt, Yang Ling rushed back to Palace of Heavenly Purity, and just walked to the front of the palace, two adults, Wang Ao and Yang Fang, came out of the palace with gloomy faces.
Yang Ling When I met, I stopped and bowed my hands in salute. The two met Yang Ling Ignore it, and walked away with a sneer. Yang Ling Knowing that these ministers who have opinions about themselves are all upright and loyal ministers, they have become treacherous ministers in their eyes by mistakes, and they can only say nothing, shook their heads and smiled bitterly and entered the hall.
The little emperor was mumbling memorials, and just tossing aside what I had read. Liu Jin was standing aside holding the whisk. He saw Yang Ling and couldn't help smiling, raising his hand to say hello.
These days, they have become familiar with each other. Yang Ling also knows that the little emperor is very easy-going, so he pointed to Liu Jin and made a silent gesture, and walked quietly to Zhengde.
The post approved by Zhu was hanging on the table, and Yang Ling saw a copy of it saying: "When you dial a scholar's silver, you can dial a scholar's silver. Why have you been from the three emperors and the five emperors to the present? If the inkstone is too much paper, give it to you I'm". The other one wrote: "Local officials can handle such trivial matters. If you want me to review them, what's the use?"
Yang Ling glanced at this folder, densely written in teeny lower letters, Yang Ling had known that no matter who made the folder, there are some compliments in front of it, which can almost be ignored, he hurriedly glanced down, the folder was roughly Baiyue area Some people take Annan rice and combine it with our Korean rice seed to produce a new type of rice that is drought-tolerant and insect-resistant compared with the original rice seed. The output has also increased. Please promote it by the emperor.
Yang Ling took a look at this discount, hurriedly said: "The emperor, the people rely on food as the sky. If there is new rice, the output can be increased, even if one acre increases by ten catties, the country's acres will increase by more than hundreds of millions? The emperor should not despise it."
Zhengde turned his head and saw him, he couldn’t help but said with joy: "You’re back, I'm going to be looking for you. I want to leave your Zuoshao Camp in the capital. The academicians refused. Liu Jin came up with a good idea. , Circle the seven imperial villages near the capital, and your troops will serve as my guards and be stationed in the imperial village. Hehe, now they have nothing to say."
Yang Ling can’t help but be surprised. Isn’t it even more of a target for such a coming? Circle the imperial village, the people in the imperial village pay a little more than ordinary people, and the people are miserable, and this crime is also on their own.
He gave Liu Jin an angry look. Liu Jin was standing next to Zhengde with a triumphant face. He also felt that he had done a good job for Yang Ling, and wished that Yang Ling looked at him as a mighty gratitude.
Yang Ling didn’t sigh, and left the matter aside, and first said about the memorial: "Your Majesty, this paper should be handed over to three academicians for discussion. Since this rice is resistant to insects and drought, it can increase yield. It is very beneficial to the people of Great Ming. It should be handed over for local trials. If it has a miraculous effect, it will be widely promoted. If the people benefit, who will not appreciate the emperor’s grace?"
He didn’t care about Zhengde, so he couldn’t help but think, “If this rice is really useful, then the emperor’s eyes will know the treasure. Please name it after the emperor’s reign and call it’ Zhengde meters', so through the ages, people will remember the emperor."
Saying that, the emperor Zhengde really became interested. He happily said: "Yang Qing said it is reasonable, then this is how the local bureaucracy and gentry try to plant, each family must not be less than two acres, once it is really good, he will give "Promotion", he hurriedly hurriedly pulled over the folder, wrote the reply on it, and immediately called the little **** next to the door and said, "Send it to the scholars for review."
This incident immediately triggered Yang Ling’s mind. I remember that Han Lin once took back a few sweet potatoes during Jimingyi. Northerners thought it was a rare thing. It’s already May. What is the effect of this rice? I didn't know until years.
Sweet potatoes and other things are known to be prolific. Although it is a bad thing for Liu Jin to circle the imperial village, but if I can make the emperor agree to grow it widely in the imperial village, everyone will know its benefits. The people are actively planting value. The capital is the root of the world. The people here grow this kind of food widely, and it will be spread all over the world in a few years.
Yang Ling became more excited as he thought about it. Just thinking about how to speak, Liu Jin already laughed and said: "Master Yang, your army is permanently stationed in the capital, so we can meet in front of your majesty from time to time. Haha, just Yang Fang and Wang Ao People came to see the emperor with the papers about the floods in Xinyang. He heard that the emperor wanted to encircle the imperial village and let you be stationed in the capital. He even slandered to stop it."
Yang Ling knows that this is Liu Jin showing to himself, but when I heard about the Xinyang flood, there were still people on the paper, I couldn’t help but startled. How many days have passed since the court hasn’t dealt with it, if I really starve to death People, don’t they force the people to rebel? He hurriedly asked: "Why didn't the Xinyang disaster send out food?"
Zhengde Emperor said: "The scholar Liu has ordered the allocation of money and food to help the place, but they have to make money, and they want me to save Xinyang three years of money and food. This flood is a temporary problem, and when the flood is gone, it will be all right. Why do I need to avoid three years of money? I was almost deceived by them crying and wiping away tears. Fortunately, Liu Jin reminded me that I was not fooled by them."
Yang Ling felt a little wrong, and said: "The emperor, Henan is plagued by disasters and most of the people have no surplus. This relief is only a solution to their food and clothing for a while. Moreover, there will be plague after the flood, and the people cannot afford to toss even if they have some savings. If some money and food can be reduced and exempted, so that the people have hope, recuperate and regenerate, it will be a good thing for the country and the people."
Liu Jin was a little bit stunned, and said, "Master Yang is kindhearted and pity the people, but there are many officials who harm the court and buy good places. Once this example opens, I don’t know how many officials will excuse the emperor to exempt this from the famine. Avoid that, isn't the court struggling to make ends meet?"
Zhengde nodded when he heard it: "Yes, yes, Liu Jin is reasonable. I think they are too exaggerated. Will they be mourned for a thousand miles in a flood? Can't condone them".
Liu Jin said again: "The imperial court has never set a rule for investigating local money and grain, and the investigation is not careful. Even if there is money and grain in the treasury, they often cry to the court for being poor. The emperor is young, so he can’t let his courtiers be blinded, old man. The slave suggested that the emperor set a rule to send people to inspect the local money and food income every year, so that he would not be deceived if he had his own account."
Yang Ling glanced at him in surprise. I didn’t think that Liu Jin, who was unlearned and knew only harm, would have this insight. Future generations have developed communications, sound systems, and auditing organizations every year. At this time, The Great Ming has inconvenient transportation and blocked news. If the financial management of the local area is not strengthened, it is indeed not conducive to the court.
But if this good thing is to be carried out by the eunuchs of the internal officials, I am afraid that they are still in favor of the emperor, and most of them are filled with private pockets. At that time, there were a lot of peeling and peeling, and the good things turned into bad things. Yang Ling hurriedly added: "This idea is very good. It is very good for strengthening the court's control and revenue. The emperor should set the rules of the Ministry of Household, and they will send personnel to implement it every year."
Liu Jin was approved by him, and his face was flushed immediately. He hadn't thought about what benefits he would get from it. He just wanted to show off his skills in front of the emperor. Yang Ling is the emperor's close minister, the mighty uncle, and the poetry and book comparison he has read. He who can only understand a few big characters is so many times stronger. Yang Ling can agree with him. Liu Jin suddenly realizes that it is not only good at serving people, but also a little real.
He was happy for a while, and immediately talked: "The minions thought that Yang Fang and Wang Ao did their best for Xinyang because they were officials of Xinyang nationality, so they favored the township. The officials in the DPRK and the central government still do so, but the local officials even more. To be unbearable, in order to prevent nepotism and bribery of relatives, local officials across the country should not serve in the province. For the same reason, Cao Yun Yushi cannot be held by Jiangnan people."
Yang Ling eyebrows jumped, and he said in his heart: This Liu Jin is not a good person, so he treats the gentleman's abdomen with a villain's heart, and thinks everyone else is so unbearable. Are all the officials of his day a private fraud? ? But on second thought, this method can indeed prevent selfishness to a certain extent.
Yang Ling: "Gonggong Liu said it is very reasonable, but most of the world’s talented scholars are concentrated in a few places. If the officials of the whole country are not allowed to serve in the province, then many officials will not be able to arrange it. It is better to stipulate the rich provinces. In order to avoid suspicion, the officials are not allowed to serve in the province, so there are more choices."
After Zhengde ascended the throne, I couldn’t think of any insights to publish the edict to show the new emperor’s ability. When I heard the two Yang Ling mentioned by Liu Jin, they all agreed with them and supplemented them. Suddenly, he became interested and raised the pen. Come and write it down seriously, and treat this as the first two new policies issued by the government after you have handled the country.

Zhengde was the emperor at the beginning, and I was a bit serious, but the memorials were stinky and long, and the content was really dull and tasteless. After a while, I was impatient and asked Liu Jin to accompany him to tease the little monkey. ~IndoMTL.com~Yang Ling walked out of Palace of Heavenly Purity alone, stood under the palace gate and stopped for a while. Now that the four guards of the Imperial Horse Supervisor have been transferred back to the palace, he no longer has to stay in the palace often, but the emperor has just returned to the emperor before he wants to leave, nor did he find a chance to speak.
It’s been more than a month since he led the troops into the mountains and then stationed in the palace. He and Youniang are close to each other. They are in the Beijing city, and they have not walked much, but they can’t see each other. I really miss each other. It's very.
I can’t go back today. I should be able to go back in two days. Does that little girl miss me? I don't know if she has lost weight. Yang Ling thought of the charming and cute little lady, and her body couldn't help but feel hot, and she wished to rush back immediately, holding that charming little lady in her arms and affectionately.
He looked at the ivy in the courtyard in a daze. A civil official walked into the palace and saw him standing in front of the palace gate in a daze, so he patrolled over. The man looked at him, orange The skin-like old face was filled with humble smiles, and he bowed his hands and said: "This is the mighty Lord Yang? Aha, it really is Lord Yang."
Yang Ling was stunned, and turned his head to see that he was a somewhat familiar civil servant. He was afraid that he would not be seventy years old. There was a golden pheasant embroidered on the patchwork suit. The feelings were a second-ranking member. Yang Ling was busy giving up. Said: "The official is rude, the adult is...".
The old man chuckled and said, "Old servant assistant Jiao Fang".
Yang Ling hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Master Jiao, Master Jiao, this is... Do you want to see the emperor?"
