I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"If only I could fly."

Hearing the empress's muffled voice, Maid Ai was also a little surprised. Before she could respond, the empress went back to Kunning Palace.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yan was lying on the couch by herself, looking at the other side of the emptiness, only feeling that her chest was heavy and lonely.

She couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she called Ai Shi and asked curiously: "The emperor always says he's busy recently, what is he busy with every day?"

"A major event happened in the southwest, and the outer court became a mess. The emperor wanted to provide compensation to the chieftains in the southwest, and also dispatched troops."

Speaking of the tense atmosphere inside and outside the court recently, Ai Shi also felt very scared.

"By the way, the servant girl also heard from the fellow on duty in the Qianqing Palace that Xinuang Pavilion has added a minister of officials to discuss the situation of the Southwest War with the emperor every day. Even the military department of the outer dynasty cannot intervene."

"Ok."

Zhang Yan failed to understand what it meant for a minister to add Xinuange, she lowered her eyes, feeling a little disappointed.

But she didn't continue to be stubborn, she just asked, "What happened to Southwest?"

Ai Shi was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and still said: "There is a powerful chieftain family in the southwest rebelling!"

"The emperor dealt with it in a timely manner. He has already mobilized troops from four provinces to conquer and suppress it. This is a battle of tens of thousands of people."

"Who?"

"Yongning Xuanfu Envoy She Chongming..." As he spoke, Ai stuck out his tongue, and said again: "I don't know this person because of what I heard."

"How can it be so bad..."

"The Liao incident has not subsided yet, and yet another catastrophe has arisen in the Southwest. All civil and military officials are waiting for the emperor to make a decision, and none of them can make suggestions?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan was a little angry.

Ai Shi went out to look outside the door and found no one, so he came back and said in a low voice:

"My servant also heard that what the emperor wants to discuss tonight is the matter of the imperial conquest to pacify the southwest."

"Why do you have to conscript yourself?" Zhang Yan became even more worried.

Ai was unable to cope, and smiled flatteringly:

"Your Majesty, I'm a servant girl. The fellow on duty in Qianqing Palace is only cleaning the ashes of the Xuande Furnace. How can I know what the Emperor is thinking?"

"troubled you."

Zhang Yan is also sensible, and she doesn't look angry.

Seeing her wrinkling her eyebrows, she thought for a while, and said with emotion: "If I were a man, I would definitely carry a knife and mount a horse, go into battle to kill the enemy, and share the emperor's worries."

Hearing the queen say such words, Ai Shi accidentally laughed out loud. Although he quickly stopped it, he also got a slap in the face from Zhang Yan.

"Your Majesty, you always go with the emperor to listen to and write about Yue Fei, and your temperament has changed."

"How can you... you damn girl!"

……

Soon after, in the Xinuang Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao also smiled slightly when he heard Wang Tigan talking to him about what happened after the queen saw the fireworks.

It seems that my hands-on, mouth-to-mouth teaching has worked.

Thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao put on a serious expression again, and asked: "I said earlier that extravagance and admiration must be against the bright, do you have anything to say now?"

"Emperor Shengming."

After Wang Zaijin and Gu Bingqian finished speaking, they turned their heads to look at the Minister of Officials who was newly assigned to Xinuang Pavilion.

Speaking of which, compared with them, this person is only a small official, and he was able to enter the Xinuang Pavilion. I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings his ancestors have accumulated.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at this person, and said lightly:

"Sun Chuanting, I see that you are silent, because you have something to worry about?"

Sun Chuanting, styled Boya, nicknamed Baigu, was born in Zhenwuwei, Daizhou.

Since then, Sun Chuanting has been completely different from the history, and his legendary promotion path has never stopped.

In March of the first year of Tianqi, the scholar Wang of Dongge University served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Jin Dynasty. He recommended Sun Chuanting as a genius.

In the year of Gengshen's Jingcha, Sun Chuanting stood out and had outstanding political achievements. Wang Zaijin presided over the Jingcha, and promoted Sun Chuanting to Jixun Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials.

Early this morning, the war situation in the Southwest was introduced to the capital, and Emperor Zhu Youxiao issued an order: Tim Sun Chuanting was assigned to Xinuang Pavilion to assist in the war in the Southwest.

At first, Sun Chuanting was not promoted by Zhu Youxiao. He was found talented by Wang Zaijin, and then the cabinet decided to work in the capital.

After Sun Chuanting arrived in Beijing, he was catching up with Jingcha.

That Beijing inspection was originally used by Zhu Youxiao to enhance Wang Zaijin's prestige, so he didn't plan to deal with many people.

Under the open and unannounced visits of the factory guards, many dirty people tried their best to protect themselves. All kinds of private meetings were kings in Jin, some gave gifts, and some sold miserably.

Anyway, in the end, I didn't dare to make too much noise.

Sun Chuanting didn't have such worries at all, he went his own way and became a thriving talent, and was soon discovered by Wang Zaijin.

The factory guards naturally wanted to investigate, but Sun Chuanting had just entered Beijing, and he was more principled, so he found nothing.

Sun Chuanting suddenly appeared, and of course Zhu Youxiao used him without any hassle.

The five-star god sent him to his door, so why not use it?

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao can only say that gold can shine everywhere.

This kind of really talented person, even if he is just thrown into the vast officialdom of the capital, he can quickly jump out of the circle that does not belong to him.

The same is true for Huang Degong and others. They were thrown in the Yongwei Camp. After a few months, they quickly became Qianzong, Baizong, and firearms battalion officers by virtue of their skills.

People don't need you to push the seedlings to encourage them. In history, you have gained your own strength step by step.

Chapter 98 Agreeing to Conquer

"Since Hongwu, the chieftain system has stabilized the situation in the Southwest compared with the Jiji system, but it has not changed at all. The chieftain is often the only one that the imperial court can control."

"As for the chieftain and below, it is beyond the reach of the whip."

Sun Chuanting's upper lip touched his lower lip, his expression was calm, but all the knives he spit out were bloodless.

"In their territory, these chieftains seem to have become the emperors of the land. They are in their hands. As for the Han people who moved to the southwest, they have long been enslaved by them."

"If 200 years ago, the guards were strong and powerful, they could still protect the local Han people. But now, the guards are corrupt and the armaments are slack, and they can no longer effectively deter the chieftain."

"The local Han people can't even guarantee their lives. It's common for chieftains to ignore human lives. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away."

Sun Chuanting didn't seem to notice that the remaining two officials on duty in the Xinuang Pavilion were staring blankly, he just felt that it was really rare to have such an opportunity to relax his views.

He must express his thoughts quickly, as for how he will be dealt with later, he has not thought about it yet.

"An Bangyan served as a consolation envoy in Guizhou. He was arrogant and lawless. He often shot people as a joke when he was drunk. The people who were caught and shot by him were all local Han people!"

"enough--"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said, "I already understand what you mean, let me tell you your suggestion."

After the emperor finished speaking, Wang Zaijin and Gu Bingqian looked at each other, feeling incredible that Sun Chuanting had said so many things that should not have been said, yet he was not dealt with.

Sun Chuanting said: "I suggest that social studies should be set up in the Xuanwei Division of the southwestern provinces, and that the children of the Xuanwei envoys' clans must go to the social sciences to study and take exams."

"As for inheriting the father's position, those who have no major achievements can only be allowed to inherit the position after passing the social studies examination."

"If there is an unqualified successor, the imperial court will change it to a successor in the same year. When the chieftain is able to study in social studies and learn Chinese characters, he will be allowed to inherit."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes tightened, and he tapped the handle of the armchair with his fingers, without saying a word.

Sun Chuanting's suggestion seems a bit too strong.

You must know that from the Hongwu period to the present, the imperial court advocated sociology in the southwestern chieftains, which is the main means of promoting the education of the aborigines and the change of old customs.

But for a long time, it has always been voluntary. In a word, my court set up Sociology for convenience, to value you, and to read it or not.

Even so, some chieftains have strong resistance to this policy, and it is not uncommon to smash sociology in the southwest.

In order to avoid the expansion of the situation, the imperial court often only clicked on it.

Gu Bingqian sneered, and retorted: "If the chieftain doesn't obey, it will cause a chain reaction, confront the court, and the war will expand, so what should we do?"

There was a murderous look in Sun Chuanting's eyes, and he said lightly: "Kill!"

"If there is a chieftain who prohibits the natives of the tribe from reading and practicing calligraphy, the offender will punish the tribe, divide the soil of the chieftain, and grant the chieftain who obeys the imperial court's clear order, and it can also be set up as a guard, so that soldiers will be stationed."

"Hehe." Sun Chuanting sneered, "I expect the chieftain will not obey, so this order should be issued after the war is settled."

"After Shechongming is settled down, issue this order and kill another batch!"

"As long as the land is reformed and the natives educated, there will be no more wars in the Southwest!"

"The southwestern chieftain issue is capricious, and the army cannot be mobilized to encircle and suppress it once in three to five years."

"Only by letting them have a sense of identity with Daming, realize that they are citizens of Ming Dynasty, and know that the majesty of the court cannot be offended, can the capricious chieftain problem be truly resolved once and for all."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the Xinuang Pavilion fell into a deathly silence.

Zhu Youxiao frowned, got up and paced for a while, then turned around suddenly and said, "Okay!"

"I want to solve the Southwest issue once and for all, and the princes of the court should also do something for the court."

"Decree, the Xinke Jinshi and fellow Jinshi in March this year, who have not yet filled their official positions, will be transferred to the southwest!"

"Don't they all like to gather people to give lectures in the local area?"

"Okay, I'll give them this chance. Chaotang set up a social school in the southwest, and there is a shortage of talents. The Donglin Party members always say that they are full of blood for the country. Now is the time."

The three people in the Xinuang Pavilion almost said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Sun Chuanting thought for a while, then said again:

"The imperial court uses troops in two places, and the emperor is worried day and night. The ministers of the court use swords as pens to fight the court with their tongues. The ambition of the ministers is to fight and fight, to investigate and calm the chaos!"

"The minister is willing to abandon literature and pursue martial arts, and invites out of Beijing to recruit troops to serve the imperial court!"

"Quite." Zhu Youxiao naturally knew how powerful the Qin army that Sun Chuanting went out to form was.

He yawned and sat down at the imperial case, glanced lightly at the scene on the table, saw that the table was full of paperwork, lacked interest, picked up one at random, and asked:

"Going out to recruit troops, what's the difficulty?"

"Military salary, food salary, and military equipment!" Sun Chuanting spoke with a strict eye, which made Wang Zaijin frown.

Can this kind of straightforwardness be popular in the local area?

"I'll give you 30 yuan in internal funds to pay, buy food, and buy armaments. If it's not enough, I will mention it again." Zhu Youxiao threw away the booklet in his hand from the government office requesting the abolition of the palace's inner city, and said with a sneer:

"have a finger in the pie."

After all, I picked up another one.

Seeing this memorial, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, but he also opened his mouth and asked, "Where do you want to recruit troops?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Chuanting was a little excited, leaned over and said, "Yulin!"

After Zhu Youxiao approved Yang Sichang's memorandum saying that the famine in various prefectures in Huaibei had eased slightly, he felt relieved and raised his head:

"There are many gates over there, is there any food available?"

"The emperor's lesson! It is precisely because Yulin Town is the place where the generals' families gather, that I will go to Yulin to recruit troops!"

"I just want the world to see that there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart! The court is also the same. As long as the emperor is willing to change, the great Ming Dynasty is in sight!"

"It's up to you to choose, I only look at the result." Zhu Youxiao didn't seem to hear, then lowered his head, and said lightly:

"Heavenly, add Sun Chuanting, the left servant of the Ministry of War, and governor of Shaanxi."

"Also, call Qi Jin to see me."

Even though he had expected it before, Sun Chuanting was still very excited, he bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"You go and prepare yourself."

Not long after, Sun Chuanting left, and Qi Jin paid homage outside the Xinuang Pavilion: "My minister Qi Jin, see the emperor!"

As soon as he came in, before he could even catch his breath, he heard the emperor who was looking at the scriptures in front of him ask:

"How's the firearms training going?"

Without time to think about it, Qi Jin had no choice but to say:
