eldest son of Ming dynasty

There is a Daming Lake in Jinan, which is the Daming Lake on the shore of Daming Lake.

The lake is full of trees, which are full of green in spring. The blue waves are like a Tianchi hidden here, and the two complement each other like a heavenly realm.

There is a peninsula in the lake extending inward, and the promenade is also built into it.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to wait here for Jin Gui and Gu Renyi, who were going to search for information for him, so he stopped in Jinan.

It was raining that day. The emperor sat on the tower in the middle of the lake and looked at the willows Yiyi. The spring rain was like oil, which gave him a vague feeling of Jiangnan.

The wooden door was opened, and the rain outside was beating on the lake. The slightly rising water vapor made the lake foggy. Occasionally, a bird flew by. This was a beautiful scene in the world.

On the tower, there is Jinan's best luther player playing ancient music, and the lingering sound is lingering.

Times like this were one of the purposes of his southern tour. How could he be trapped in the city for the rest of his life after traveling through time?

Liu Jian was still waiting as he had been the past few days. He asked Gu Zuo beside him, "... I wonder what your majesty thinks about what Guan Yanqing discussed a few days ago?"

"Mr. Xixian doesn't know. His Majesty has already given instructions to the cabinet. However, it will take more than a day for such things to be effective, so there is no need to worry, Gong Xixian. It's just that Guan Yanqing... Gong Xixian may have to bear the pain and give up."

Liu Jian was slightly shocked, "Guan Yanqing has been an official for less than three years and has been appointed magistrate for less than two years. Although it is said that once he is favored, he will rise to the top, but..."

Gu Zuo knew that Liu Xixian had a reputation for being on the bench.

After retiring from the cabinet, he still worked diligently in Shandong for ten years. This is part of his character.

"There are indeed many learned people in the court who are quite proficient in the word "ritual". But this credit belongs to Guan Yanqing, and the rewards and punishments must not be unknown. As for qualifications...does Mr. Xixian know Lu En?"

Lu En was suddenly promoted and reused by the emperor in the fifth year of Zhengde. During the second stage of cleaning up the military camps, this person seemed to appear out of nowhere in the eyes of others.

To say that he has a shallow foundation, yes, yes, he does not have many friends of his own, but behind him is the emperor. Is this still called shallow?

In the past few years, Lu En has even surpassed his Gu Zuo in the limelight. He is very popular in front of the emperor because he can do things well.

It was hard for Liu Jian to say anything. He had an upright character, but he was not someone who wanted to go against the emperor at all times. Guan Yanqing was just a minor figure. If someone explained it to him, it would be fine. However, the emperor had been listening to the piano for a long time. What he wanted to say The last two sentences.

Waiting left and right, he was really impatient.

As a result, he was blocked by Gu Zuo, "Mr. Xixian, your Majesty has not summoned you. What are you going to do?"

Liu Jian said: "How can your majesty, the next generation of sage kings, waste your time in the obscurity of the music? I am going to give you advice."

Gu Zuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not that this junior is too talkative. What does Duke Xixian have to worry about? You shouldn't worry about His Majesty's ambitions. If you really can't wait, you can go back to the Yamen to handle the affairs. Why bother Your Majesty?"

"The Emperor is here, where can I go?"

"Oh. Please understand your Majesty. In the past ten years, Your Majesty has not worked hard for a day. Now that I have the opportunity to go south, I will always have some leisure time. As for playing with things and losing one's ambition, that is absolutely not the case. The imperial edict has been issued, and next year the court will For the northern expedition into the desert, all preparations for military supplies of grain, grass, and horses have begun.”

While they were arguing, Zhu Houzhao suddenly walked down from above, holding his hands on his chest and walking very steadily.

"Your Majesty."

"Ah, I'm here." Gu Zuo immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Go and send the violinist up there and reward him with some money."

"Yes."

After the emperor explained the matter, he approached Liu Jian again. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I have sent a decree before, strictly ordering all officials in various prefectures, prefectures, and counties not to stop people from blocking sedan chairs without permission. This decree was accepted by the Shandong Governor's Yamen Are you here?"

"I received your reply to His Majesty." "Have you conveyed it to the next one?"

"Conveyed."

"Okay." The emperor's expression was not very good, "Then you send someone to ask what's going on with the bandits from Xujiazhai in Dongping County, Yanzhou Prefecture?"

Liu Jian's face changed slightly, and he knelt down tremblingly, "I wonder if what your majesty said is because of bandits endangering the people?"

"Exactly."

Bandits and bandits are common problems.

Moreover, it is a problem of all dynasties, and it will also happen in the prosperous times, because some are the kind of desperadoes who are trying to escape the pursuit of the government. Either they don't have enough to eat, or they have committed crimes, so they have no way to survive except to fall into the trap of being a bandit.

Because it is a common problem, Zhu Houzhao does not intend to pursue Liu Jian, but this matter must be resolved, "The emperor is here, and the people in Shandong know it. I can't just eat and drink here. This is not what I want." I've been saying that I'm being harsh to you, Shandong Dazhi, and the Luwu Bandits for several years. I can't just pay lip service to it, right?

I already know about this. This group of thieves also robbed people on the Liangjing Straight Road, and the local people suffered greatly. When they heard that the emperor was coming, some villagers united to stop the sedan chair, but the local magistrate blocked it back. .Do you know about this? "

"Your Majesty, I know about Xujiazhai in Dongping County, but I really don't know about Dongping County Magistrate's efforts to dissuade the people."

"Okay. Why didn't you destroy Xujiazhai after knowing it?"

Liu Jian said: "I am aware of the crime. Your Majesty does not know something. Since last year, I have begun to suppress this group of bandits. However, there are also experts among them. The officers and soldiers do not have the elites of the Beijing camp and the border army. Every time they go out, there are wars." It is unfavorable, so it has been postponed to this day. Furthermore, I think that a gentleman is benevolent. I heard that many gangsters were deceived into going up the mountain without their original intention. It is unnecessary to increase the killings. Therefore, we have been discussing recently. If we can recruit them, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? "

That is to say, when we were in the process of solving the problem, we encountered the emperor.

But the specific extent of the solution is unknown.

Liu Jian's two answers made Zhu Houzhao a little doubtful of his level, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't eliminate it, he could only appease him.

Over the years, he would not laugh at the ancients easily. Those seemingly unwise decisions may be the final helpless choices.

But there is one thing he is lucky about - this kind of pedantic person is lucky to be kicked out of the cabinet, otherwise he would have to be anxious when facing him every day.

Zhu Houzhao looked slightly dissatisfied. He stretched out his index finger and said quickly and politely: "I don't know who the magistrate of Dongping County is. You go and arrest this person. After he is arrested, he will be charged with resisting the decree. This is the previous imperial decree." As mentioned in the book. How can it be changed once the Emperor's Chrysostom is opened? Secondly, the prosperous times are not immune to banditry. This does not deny your achievements in Shandong, so I will not expand this case indefinitely. As for this banditry, I will let the Shenwu Guards Go and suppress him. That’s it, you go and arrest the person now, interrogate him clearly, and see if I have wrongly accused him.”

"The old minister obeys the order."

Zhu Houzhao looked at his back and sighed.Sometimes, the feudal bureaucracy still has some kind of dysfunction.

"You address."

"The servant is here."

"Jin Gui and Gu Renyi told me immediately after arriving in Jining that they would set off for Huai'an as soon as they arrived!"

"Yes." You Zhi's voice lowered a little, "Then let the Shenwu Guards suppress the bandits..."

"I've already used artillery to blow up fleas. Do I have to wait for him for another month?"

Behind You Zhi, Gu Zuo also brought out the violinist. She was a woman. She refused to leave after she came down. She insisted on kneeling in front of Zhu Houzhao and said, "The emperor is unparalleled in benevolence and virtue. The daughter of the people represents the people of the county to thank you." Thank you, God, for your grace!"

Hearing her words, Zhu Houzhao felt a little comforted and introspective, "Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil because they are small. For me, a group of bandits is really nothing to worry about, but for you, He said, this is a matter of life and death. Since I am the emperor and the king and father of the people of the world, how can I regard the lives of my people as a trivial matter? You Zhi, after Xu Guan, the commander of the Shenwu Guard, arrives, don’t talk to him. He said that I was too anxious and asked him to suppress the bandits steadily and thoroughly, lest the wildfires would not burn out and the spring breeze would blow up again."

Gu Zuo was greatly moved after hearing this. He really didn't know what kind of nice words to say about Emperor Zhengde.
