Emperor Ming's grandson

Feng Cheng is really in a bit of a hurry. His Majesty the Emperor specially arranged things for him before. In fact, Feng Cheng himself knew it well, so that he could make some contributions and become a hereditary successor in a legitimate way.

You must know that his father is Feng Guoyong, who was the general of Emperor Hongwu's early account. It was Feng Guoyong who proposed that Emperor Hongwu took Yingtian Mansion as the foundation.

In addition, his second uncle was Song Guogong Feng Sheng. If it weren't for Emperor Hongwu's deliberate suppression, Feng Sheng could have become a general not inferior to Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu and others.Feng Sheng was indeed a giant in the military of the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for Emperor Hongwu's suspicion and other reasons, Feng Sheng might have made even greater contributions.

Although his father was posthumously named the Duke of Ying, his current title of Duke of this country is a relegation, not a hereditary title.

Now the elder brother-in-law has prepared a justifiable opportunity for him to make meritorious service, and the younger brother-in-law is also very generous in giving away his immortality. If such an opportunity cannot be seized, it is really unreasonable.

The princes in the court hall were still discussing other things, which made Feng Cheng anxious.

While Feng Cheng was still in a hurry, Chang Mao, who felt sorry for his nephew and son-in-law, refused to agree, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I think you should deal with officials, Shangshu Ruyu and others. !"

Everyone knows that Chang Mao, the founder of the state, is an out-and-out hob meat. Considering this guy's special status, everyone really has nothing to do with him. On the surface, they respect him, but in private, they must say bad things about him. .

But look at what this person has done, who can bear such a big pot for being so inexplicably put on it?

Zhu Yunying also said with a straight face at this time, "Mr. Founder, please don't speak nonsense above the court!"

This civil and military official seems to have found a little bit of confidence. Although everyone knows that Chang Mao's hob meat will not be punished more severely for this incident, but even if it is only a small punishment, it can be suppressed. That guy's arrogant arrogance will prevent that guy from always talking in court.

At this time, Chang Mao said solemnly, "Returning to Your Majesty, the imperial court has a long-standing law. When the minister returns to Jingzi, he should first submit the decree. Besides, it is related to military affairs, and all other feelings and reasons should be reported first."

Zhu Yunying put on a look of sudden realization, and also said with a look of self-blame, "It's my fault."

This time, Ru Xun and the others couldn't sit still, the emperor seemed to just say something casually, and even the emperor seemed to take the responsibility on his own initiative.But if everyone carelessly thinks that it is the emperor's responsibility at this time, then they are really not enlightened, and that is the end of the official position.

This matter can naturally be the emperor's responsibility. For example, if the emperor didn't ask Feng Cheng and others first, it seems that the emperor needs to take the blame.But it's not that these civil and military officials are talking about other things in a hurry, and these people have broken the normal process of doing things.

So the emperor can memorize this pot, but don't think that this is the emperor's responsibility.Especially if the emperor took the initiative to admit his mistake, it means that the humiliating minister died.

It's a little exaggerated to say so, but the nature is such a nature.

For a while, civil and military officials in the court were pleading guilty one after another, and everyone's attitude has been changed, and this matter will naturally end.

Chang Mao is so complacent, he is a hob, and many people also think that he is the son of the tiger father and son, it can be said that he is sorry for the great reputation of Kaiping Wangchang.

But so what?He is still one of the speakers of the Wu Xun Group, and he can be regarded as having a certain right to speak above the court.

Who can underestimate him?Who dares to underestimate him?

Let's accept it when it's good, Chang Mao doesn't intend to get entangled in this matter, and Zhu Yunying doesn't feel that he wants to make a fuss about this matter, so this matter is as it is, and the business is still important.

Looking at Feng Cheng, Zhu Yunying said, "Lieutenant-in-law, do you have anything to report on this visit to the guards of the various places?"

This is clearly pretending to be confused, why the little brother-in-law went out to inspect this time, Zhu Yunying knew it well, Chang Mao and the others actually knew it too, that is, the civil and military officials in the court were kept in the dark one by one.

But these cultural relic officials didn't think there was anything wrong with Feng Cheng going out for inspections. Even if he didn't do these things, other nobles would also do them.Even if there seems to be no war in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that swords and guns can be put into storage and horses can be sent to Nanshan.

It is of course good to look like a peaceful and prosperous world, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but the necessary weapons are still necessary.

What's more, everyone is also very clear that as there is no war now, some guards will be a little relaxed, and some guards' chiefs will also have various crimes.When the civil service system is unable to participate more in the military, it is natural to count on these martial arts to be able to handle these matters well.

Whether it's their own duties, or the emperor's emphasis on balance, many people are well aware of the current civil and military situation of the Ming Dynasty.Both Wen Chen and Wu Xun wanted to overwhelm each other, and there was nothing wrong with that.

However, there should be a clearer understanding, that is, it is best not to cross the line, or the emperor will definitely not be happy.

Feng Cheng came out of duty at this time, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, Qi Zuo, this time I was ordered to inspect the guards in various places, and found a total of [-] cases of illegal activities. I have prepared a memorial for all of them. Please preview them."

Zhu Yunying's face sank like water, it was impossible for any emperor to be happy about such a thing.

What does this mean?This shows that there are indeed a lot of illegal things in the various guards. Although the military equipment of the Ming Dynasty has not shown signs of relaxation for the time being, these bad signs have already appeared.Therefore, some soldiers everywhere have corrupted the law, and the national law and military discipline obviously cannot better restrain them.

Civil servants don't care about such things, or they have long been used to such things.

Not to mention now, even when Emperor Hongwu ruled the world, he kept emphasizing military discipline and other issues.But even in that case, from time to time there will be some arrogant soldiers under his hands who don't care about law and order at all.

Especially at the beginning of the founding of the country, a large number of martial arts heroes were arrogant, extravagant, corrupt and perverted after Fenghou worshiped the general.

Now is the Taiping period, there is such a thing, and there is no need to feel that there is anything strange.

In fact, not only these generals, but also many civil servants, as long as they have power in their hands, they will want to reap greater benefits.The emperors of the Ming Dynasty never dared to slack off in matters such as rectifying the administration of officials, but even so, many people still chose to take risks.

This can probably be regarded as the death of people for money, and the death of birds for food. There is nothing strange about it.

Seeing that the emperor seemed very unhappy, everyone just thought that the emperor was unhappy because of such corruption and perverting the law.They are even used to such things. After all, a large number of officials are punished by the court every year for such things, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

It's just that what these people don't know is that the emperor's annoyance is not just that simple. Originally, Zhu Yunying was dissatisfied with the rising signs of corruption in the Ming Dynasty's officials. Bian will smuggle collectively, no wonder he can be happy!

It seems that these things need to be rectified in an all-round way. If we can't cut the mess quickly now, if we can't kill chickens and monkeys now, maybe this kind of thing will become more and more serious, and the harm it will bring will become more and more serious.

This kind of thing can't be delayed any longer. Wu Xun may need Xu Hui's group to come back to offend people, but Wen Chen can't let them be so comfortable. Zhu Yunying is not afraid of offending people, and his subordinates don't lack such offending The lonely minister of man.

It is urgent to rectify the administration of officials. Perhaps it is time to find a suitable excuse to beat some people well.

This matter must be done well, but Zhu Yunying has no intention of discussing this matter in the court for the time being, it is better to simply discuss it with some people, or it can be said to convey some intentions.

It could be seen that the emperor was unhappy, but Feng Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

This time he went out to take credit, and he had to do what the emperor told him to do well, but he also knew very well that he was the Duke of the Ming Dynasty and the captain of the consort, so naturally he had to shoulder more responsibilities.

There is no need to care about offending people or not offending others, and in his capacity, there is no need to care about such things.So what if you offend some people?It doesn't matter even if he offends some top martial artists, as long as he is loyal to the emperor, this is the position that a martial artist like him and his relatives should have.

But Feng Cheng didn't forget his most important task, so he couldn't disappoint some people's kindness.That was not only for his own consideration, but also for his own descendants, and even for the reputation of his late father.

"Qizou Your Majesty, this time I was ordered to inspect Fuguang, and accidentally discovered that vegetable oil was imported from Nanyang."

Many civil and military officials felt a little strange. In fact, they have gotten used to some things after all these years.

For example, the wild land that I always thought before actually has some good things, like Nanyang, which I usually don’t like, there are actually a lot of gems or gold, and there is a lot of food output there, so it can be done Many crops were grown three times a year, which was something that was almost unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty has been working hard to import food from some places in Nanyang. In addition to those sea ships, land routes are naturally very important.In Guangdong, Guangxi or Yunnan and Guizhou, a lot of food is also imported from Nanyang.

It's just that vegetable oil is mentioned now, which doesn't seem to be important.

For civil and military officials, they naturally do not lack cooking oil, and perhaps some officials know that many people lack cooking oil.It's just that such a matter is not worth discussing in the court. After all, these issues such as grain and oil, it seems that the court has nothing to do, unless the court asks the people to grow some rapeseed oil.

But this is not the fundamental solution. The common people still need to grow food if they have more land.

Or the people have more money in their hands, and occasionally go to get a couple of oil, which can be regarded as a little oily.

Zhu Yunying didn't find it strange at all that the officials seemed to be indifferent.Even Feng Cheng didn't think there was anything strange about it, and even he didn't seem to have much credit for this matter at first.

Isn't it just rapeseed oil? What didn't the Ming Dynasty have?
At this time, Feng Cheng continued, "Your Majesty, most people in Nanyang have the habit of eating this oil. This oil bears fruit on the tree, and I heard that the oil is also pressed through the process of pressing, so that oil can be produced. There is little difference in the seed oil."

All the officials just listened, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and there was indeed something wrong.

In everyone's impression, grain and oil are rapeseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, etc., and these are edible.There is also tung oil, but it is no problem to use it to paste paper umbrellas, and it is no problem to pour the enemy when defending the city, but it cannot be eaten!
The oily fruit that bears on the tree is actually edible?

This simply broke the cognition of many people, and there was no such thing in their impression.Even some well-educated people with great knowledge and knowledge have basically never heard of these things.

Why do we have things in Nanyang that we didn’t have in the Ming Dynasty?
Many people did look at each other in blank dismay, but Feng Cheng said, "I have brought this back to the capital and dedicated it to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunying suddenly showed a look of joy, and said happily, "Okay! If this thing can be used by our Ming Dynasty, the captain-in-law will take the lead. Quick, let me see what these oily fruits are? !"

It is indeed necessary to take a good look at it. At this time, not only Zhu Yunying is very curious about it, but the civil officials are even more curious about it. Many people are even ready to start singing praises.

Isn't this obvious?If the Ming Dynasty got a fresh crop, a crop that could satisfy the people of the Ming Dynasty, it would be auspicious, and that would be God's greatest affirmation for the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Although it may be just a kind of edible oil, it does not seem to be a new kind of grain, and there is no way to break everyone's perception of five grains.

However, many people also know that if it is a kind of edible oil worth promoting, it is indeed a very necessary thing. After all, the population of the Ming Dynasty is increasing, and the demand for food is also increasing. Naturally, it needs More fuel.

The Prince Consort may have really made a great contribution!
But still need to take a look to see if this oil can be eaten?Let's see if this kind of oily fruit can be promoted in large quantities?
If it can only be seen as something to watch or cannot be promoted, then the credit may be very small, that is, it just won the emperor's smile.
