Daming heir

Chapter 275 Who is the Devil
Thanh Hoa City in summer is an ocean of gold!

This is the harvest season, and the continuous rice fields outside Tsinghua City are full of rice ears that are about to mature.

In half a month, it will be harvest time.

The people who were the first to return to Qinghua City from the mountains and have been allocated land and houses through the City Lord's Mansion are carefully taking care of the last period before the crops mature.

Walk on the road full of rice fields on both sides.

Chen Qiong did not respond with joy, but instead had a serious expression, endless worries and panic.

In the fields near the road, those people who were brought back by me first, when they saw themselves, would bow their heads with countless disgust on their faces, and carefully stay away from the road.

People hate ghosts!
Sitting on the horseback, Chen Qiong not only sighed, but silently looked at the man in the Ming Jinyiwei Feiyu suit and the hundreds of Ming army officers and soldiers who followed behind him.

When I faced Qinghua City's dignitaries and gentry, as well as the common people hiding in the mountains, I basically had the power to make a decision with these people.

But once he no longer faces those people, he is just a surrender under the surveillance and control of these people.

And because I was in Tsinghua City, outside Tsinghua City, and in the mountains to the west, I couldn't get the trust of the people in Tsinghua City.

It seems that I have reached the point where both parties are not pleasing.

As a result, Chen Qiong became more and more worried.

The news of Tsinghua City did not reject him, and he also had some means to get the daily news of Tsinghua City.

Chen Qiong knew everything that the grandson of the emperor did in Tsinghua City.Chen Qiong was very clear about buying people's hearts over and over again, and instilling the concept of Da Ming Jiaozhi Dao into the minds of the people returning to the city time and time again.

Even if I don't know, and my own channels can't get news, the Jinyiwei Baihu next to me will also tell me these things in detail.

Then, every time he told himself, the Jinyiwei Baihu would calmly observe his face and reaction.

I have become an image of killing people like hemp, oppressing the people, and flattering the superior.

Cochin people are afraid of themselves.

Daming people look down on themselves.

Chen Qiong turned his head and glanced at the people who were leaving in the fields by the roadside. He clearly heard that those people had called himself a terrible devil.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

If he was a devil, then in Tsinghua City, the grandson of Emperor Ming who is now praised by everyone and called the benevolent emperor, is probably the one who can create devils.

"What is Chen Gong thinking?"

The voices of Jin Yiwei's hundreds of households reached Chen Qiong's ears.

Chen Qiong looked out at the subject, and saw that the other party showed his censoring eyes again, but this time he chuckled lightly.

Then, under the puzzled gaze of Jinyiwei Baihu, Chen Qiong asked: "I heard that Jinyiwei is divided into the North and South Township Fusi. I wonder if the hundred households are the South Town Fusi or the North Town Fusi?"

Jin Yiwei Baihu paused, and looked at Chen Qiong indifferently: "Since Mr. Chen knows about the Fusi of Nanbei Town, he should also know that the two departments have their own responsibilities."

Chen Qiong nodded and sighed: "Can I not go to Yingtian City to meet His Majesty?"

Baihu shook his head and said, "I know that everything is judged by the Holy Spirit, so forgive me for not being able to answer Mr. Chen's question."

"If I think about it, I can't go..." Chen Qiong murmured a little lonely.

Baihu feels that Chen Qiong at this time is still of great use to the grandson.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Grandson... The foundation of my great Ming society focuses on inheritance. Chen Gong has great talents, even if the official department examines his merits, he should be included in the list of capable officials. Your Highness has the ambition to change the old and reform the old, and the Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day. .I think Mr. Chen should know what he should do."

Jin Yiwei Baihu felt that he had made his words very clear.

After all, from his own point of view, he didn't feel disgusted with Chen Qiong, a member of the Chen Dynasty royal family who betrayed the former Annan, but admired him because he knew the time.

It's just that the other party is a new surrender after all, and the Central Plains has never been short of surrenders and rebellions. Therefore, the evaluation of Chen Qiong within Jin Yiwei still needs to observe his loyalty to Daming for a long time.

But under these conditions, Chen Qiong's behavior style is very popular with the guards in Tsinghua City.

The method is clean and neat, and he never hesitates to kill.

is a talent.

Chen Qiong was slightly surprised, silently glanced at Jin Yiwei Baihu, and then cupped her hands silently, expressing her gratitude.

He was looking straight ahead of the road, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"We've arrived at Qinghua City, and after I've seen His Highness, I'll invite Baihu and my brothers to have a drink in the city."

In the days when the people do not return to the city, the bathing sheds outside the city of Tsinghua will not be hot.If there are people in the city who want to wash up, they can go out of the city and burn fire and water for their own use.

On the contrary, the porridge shop in the city cooks porridge non-stop every day and distributes it to the people who have not yet been allocated land.

The hundred households of Jinyiwei looked at Qinghua City, which was deserted and deserted when they first came here, but now it is already populated. They smiled and looked at Chen Qiong: "This is also due to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen invited me. Don't dare to refuse."

Chen Qiong nodded and stopped talking. Instead, she led several of her attendants, raised their horsewhip and accelerated away from the entire team, heading back towards Qinghua City.

……

Qinghua City City Lord's Mansion.

With the return of the people, the front of the city lord's mansion has gradually accepted many suitable women to do handmaid's work such as sweeping.

The wages offered by the City Lord's Mansion are very attractive.

Two stones of rice per month is enough to make this position the goal that all women pursue.

Therefore, this regulation has become another reason and reason for the people of Jiaozhi Road to praise and be grateful to the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in the backyard, only Daming people were allowed to stay permanently, and Jin Yiwei's people still acted as servants, and they would not be paid extra for this.

At this moment, in the pavilion tea room in the back garden.

A rather burly Jinyi Wei Tiqi was delivering a tea set into the tea room.

Just when he was about to start cooking tea soup for Taisun and Yan Shizi.

Yan Shizi Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes with suspicion and waved his hands: "Thanks for your hard work, let's go down."

Tiqi was stunned for a moment, then stood up a little bit aggrieved, shrunk his hands and feet, bowed and bowed and slowly backed out.

Zhu Yunxi, who was flipping through the latest report compiled by Zhu Gaochi, the Sima of Taisun's army, about Qinghua City's reform of land return and resettlement of returned civilians, silently raised his head and glanced at Jin Yiwei who had withdrawn aggrievedly, and then looked at the Zhu Gaochi took over the tea set and started cooking by himself.

"Hypocritical."

Facing Zhu Yunxi's ridicule, Zhu Gaochi turned a deaf ear.

While he was busy with the matter at hand, he said: "Now our ministry has accepted a total of 670 households of returnees, with a combined population of 390. Each household has less than five people. According to Huacheng's calculations, more than [-]% of the returnees have already returned."

Zhu Yunxi put the report together and put it on the table, patted it and said: "The population of a city is [-] to [-]. In places like Jiaozhi Road, it can already be regarded as a big city. Your calculations are not wrong."

Zhu Gaochi tilted his head and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and continued: "Qinghua City is the experimental site for us to carry out the reform of the land and return it to the local people. The number of people who have returned now is enough for us to enter the next stage of the plan."

Zhu Yunxi hummed, and said casually: "Then let Gao Yangzhi and the others send people over. Since these Jinshi Jinshi and Guochao Juren are willing to go south with the army, naturally they can't all stay in Changhua County."

"I think so too." Zhu Gaochi agreed, and said, "But the pre-job training and assessment you mentioned last time, especially the ideological training, I think it is very important. They must be made clear that they need to be trained after coming to Jiaozhi Road. What to do, and how to do it.”

Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at Zhu Gaochi: "You are the Sima of our army, you can arrange these things."

Zhu Gaochi snorted.

Then he squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi, and said quietly: "Should I also transfer Gao Yangzhi, Tsinghua City will become Qinghua Mansion, I think you have already preferred Gao Yangzhi for the seat of Tsinghua Prefect .”

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "He is the Sanding Jia of the 25th year of Hongwu, Enke Zhuangyuanlang. If I hadn't pressed him down, he is already doing noble things in the Hanlin Academy, and he will be able to go to the court after two years Each department is a doctor.

Now in a newly conscripted place like Jiaozhi Road, to be a magistrate who is not conspicuous and not expensive, counts as wronging him. "

Zhu Gaochi curled his lips.

In the end, Zhu Yunxi didn't believe what he said at all.

He hummed again and again, with an ambiguous expression on his face.

He hummed and said: "The law of the Ming Dynasty, outside Zhili Yingtian Mansion, all the magistrates, the imperial court has a four-rank title, a Zhongxian doctor rank, and Zan Zhi Yin Xun, who controls the land of a mansion, ten thousand households, and governs land administration. Soldiers, punishments and fu are all in the hands of one person. Even Ren Hengtai, the first person in the country to own the number one scholar archway, has never had such a start. Now let Gao Yangzhi be the prefect of Tsinghua Prefecture, how can it be regarded as a grievance him?"

Zhu Yunxi propped his arms on the table, dragging his cheeks with his palms, tilting his head and staring at Zhu Gaochi with a strange expression.

Zhu Gaochi frowned, then helplessly put down his work, and raised his hands to express his surrender: "I didn't say that I have any opinions on this matter. I was just wondering if you have made up your mind, not just to do it in the intercourse Carrying out the reform of the land and returning it to the local people, and the circulation of goods. If you want to use Gao Yangzhi to pry my Daming Department’s Yamen Zhengyin as an official, do you have to have the experience of the state government?”

Zhu Yunxi showed doubts on his face: "Why do you think so?"

Zhu Gaochi stretched out his hand and lowered the flame under the kettle so that the hot water boiled slowly, and then said slowly, "Walking in the Wenhua Palace."

Zhu Yunxi frowned suddenly.

Blinking, motioned Zhu Gaochi to continue.

Zhu Gaochi sighed softly: "If... If I guessed correctly, you are preparing for the future by letting Xie Jin, Xia Yuanji, and Tie Xuan walk in the Wenhua Palace.

Since last year, you have let the three of them enter the palace to serve as the acting counselors of the government.

If my guess is correct, as long as I wait for some more thoughts, the three of them are walking in the Wenhua Palace, and I am afraid that even I will have to change my name to the last scholar. "

The term "big scholar" has existed since ancient times, but sometimes the specific words are different.

For example, Bao Zheng, a direct scholar of Longtuge in the former Song Dynasty, was called Bao Longtu.

Zhu Yunxi fell silent. He had never discussed this matter with Zhu Gaochi, because everything was a budding, and he never put it on a specific priority to advance.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Yunxi, but seeing no other reaction from him, he continued: "They have local experience, and they have the experience of counselors in the court and state affairs. I can easily imagine that you want to come from another direction. To restore the reality of the prime ministers of the former Tang and Song Dynasties.

If there is nothing wrong with all of these, Gao Yangzhi, a top scholar who was born in the heart and learning, still has the noble official title of a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and now he started in the state capital, and he will be a great scholar in your pocket in the future. "

Zhu Yunxi did not admit it, nor did he deny it.

Instead, he said, "According to your guess, what are the pros and cons of doing this?"

Zhu Gaochi finally stopped at this moment.

He felt that his guess should be correct.

"If this thing is really going to be done, there will naturally be disadvantages. Power ministers are an unavoidable problem. As long as someone is in that position, once they have selfish intentions, there will be power ministers in Ming Dynasty, or there will be turmoil in Daming. the root of."

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Where is Li Chu?"

Zhu Gaochi then replied: "It is impossible for the future generations to think that everyone will be like the emperor's grandfather. I am afraid that even your uncle and your descendants will be rare. If there are really these measures, at least it can ensure the continuation of my Ming government, and it will not be because of one person. decision-making, which caused the world to fall apart in vain."

"How to improve this move?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.

Zhu Gaochi blinked and looked at Zhu Yunxi hesitantly, and he spoke again after a long time: "Supervision, you must let them have awe in their hearts. Imperial power, the king of the Ming Dynasty has supreme power. Military power, the king must have control over the world's armored soldiers, I even think the Hall of Martial Heroes should be used. People's hearts. Recently, seeing Qinghua City's governance, people's hearts are the foundation of our long-term stability here. As long as the people's hearts remain unchanged, even if there are traitors in the court, my family can still stand tall , as stable as Mount Tai."

"It's hard."

Zhu Yunxi let out a long sigh.

Political management, from ancient times to the present, even in the future, has not had a perfect system.

Because the rule of man determines that politics is carried out by the will of man.

Humans are the most complex creatures in the world.

Zhu Gaochi sighed softly: "Since the emperor of Zhou in 800 years, there has been no emperor in the world for nearly a thousand years. After all, one generation must do the things of one generation."

Woo woo woo.

The spout of the kettle started whimpering.

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed and smiled: "The water is ready."

"Report to grandson and son, Chen Qiong is here."

……

"Your Majesty, Chen Qiong, when you recalled the people, you made a mistake in your means. I have come here to plead guilty to His Highness, and please punish my servants."

In the tea room, Chen Qiong, who had rushed all the way back to Qinghua City from the mountains, but did not take a breather for a moment, entered the city lord's mansion hurriedly, and after passing the report, entered the tea room, knelt down on the ground and pleaded guilty .

The tea soup brewed from the freshly boiled water was a bit scalding, so Zhu Yunxi drank the tea very slowly, and he just glanced at Chen Qiong indifferently.

Prince Yan and Taisun's Army Sima Zhu Gaochi on the side sat upright, holding a thick booklet in their hands, their eyelids sank slightly, and their lips moved slightly.

"A month ago, Zhu Quan, General of the Frontier Battalion of the Headquarters and King Ning of the Ming Dynasty, led three thousand troops across the river and captured Lang Son Pass. The General led the Chinese army to Lang Son Pass."

"The next day, the fire at Lang Son Pass was extinguished. The general of the Qianfeng Battalion refused to rest. He led his troops forward again and chased the enemy's deserters. In five days, he killed two thousand enemies and captured more than three thousand. outside Lang Son city."

"Three days later, the rest of the army was completed. The whole army of the general went forward, the rebellious Chen Yuandan's front army was defeated and defeated, and the city of Langshan was captured by the general. In this battle, the general's department killed half a million enemies and captured more than ten thousand prisoners. Rebelled against Chen Yuandan's troops, pushed them to Liangjiang City, and used Heze as a risk to resist the general's marching route."

Chen Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, was already dripping with sweat.

There was no need to discuss this kind of frontline military report when I just returned to the city.Then there is only one possibility, and that is to say it specifically for yourself.

In this military report, it can be said that Da Ming was descended from the heavens, and Chen Yuandan, who was an enemy of Da Ming, had already been identified as a rebel.

Chen Qiong no longer dared to think about how heartbroken and anxious Chen Yuandan, who was on the front line of Liangjiang City, was now, but he had no good way to retreat.

I'm afraid that after Chen Yuandan was lost at Lang Son Pass, he wrote to Daming that everything about Annan was done by Li Jishuo, and that he and Annan Chen Chao were loyal to Daming.

Just thinking about it, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, who was the general who conquered the south, would not listen to a word.

Daming is occupying pieces of land in Annan with an invincible attitude, turning it into the territory of Jiaozhi Dao of Daming.

This is the subtext that Chen Qiong heard from Yan Shizi's voice at this moment.

As a result, Chen Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, had her face closer to the ground, and her buttocks were raised higher and higher.

"Fifteen days ago, the general of the Qianfeng Battalion led troops to the west and occupied Taiyuan City (the former name of Taiyuan City on Jiaozhi Road was not found), and Xuanhua City on the west side surrendered without a fight. It depends on the battle. The general will attack from the front and cooperate from both sides. The rebellious Chen Yuandan lost more than half of his subordinates. He retreated to Daluo City and defended according to the river. together."

Annan is done.

It's all over.

Chen Yuandan didn't want to retreat anymore, he had no way out.

Daming has already reached outside Daluo City, the capital of Annan, where else can he let Chen Yuandan go?
Hiding westward in the deep mountains and old forests?

I heard that the Xiping Hou Muying who was originally on the Yunnan Road in Daming had already burned the territory of the Liao tribe to nothingness.

Can Chen Yuandan beat Xiping Hou Muying when he flees west?
southward?

That's even more impossible.

The [-] Ming army on the Qinghua City side was responsible for closing doors and beating dogs. The Ming army occupying Qinghua City now blocked Chen Yuandan's last way to flee southward.

"The general sent a message to Qinghua City that if any rebel army goes south, they will be killed without mercy, and Qinghua City will not let anyone go south."

Chen Qiong prostrated herself on the ground, and the sweat dripping down her face soaked the floor.

There are no vigorous battles, no epic battles.

Annan has become a stroke of ink in history, and there will only be Daming Jiaozhi Road in the future.

What about yourself?

What will happen to me, a member of the royal family of the Chen Dynasty, when Annan surrendered?

Chen Qiong raised her head with beads of sweat on her face, and saw the emperor grandson staring at her calmly.

His heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him.

"I congratulate the imperial court on the victory in the war. The rebellion in Jiaozhi Road is about to be eliminated. The country is in peace and fortune. I bow my head and willingly serve as running dogs. I only hope that the emperor and grandson will show mercy."

At this moment, Chen Qiong no longer had any restraint, and also lost all decency.
