Chapter 592: The Legendary Road
Chapter 592 The Legendary Road
In the Imperial College, although Yang Jing directly spoke to the Kong family, he never received any promises from the Kong family. They were all nonsense and had no substance.
Yang Jing was very depressed, but it was not entirely because he had not gained anything. At least he knew that the Kong family really cared about this new interpretation of the word Confucian word, but he was still pretending and still grasping it.
After leaving the Imperial College, although there are still mountains on both sides of the streets, Yang Jing still can't take away the depression in his heart. Do you take the Kong family too seriously? Do you believe that these corrupt ruling classes have the determination to improve themselves? Should you sweep them into the garbage dump? Instead of treating them as guests?
After returning to the Ganqing Palace, Yang Jie sat in the core of the world and gradually sent away his depression. Judging from today's situation, he could not pin his hopes on the Kong family, nor could he expect Confucianism to improve himself. What should he do, and what should he do. As for the affairs of the Kong family, it can only come to an end for the time being, but he cannot block the way of cooperating with the Kong family.
Yang Jingwei made up his scheming and began to think about his original path.
The army is about to be in full swing, and the prisoners are about to be offered. For him, this great victory is a good opportunity that he has never had before. It can help him do a lot of things. The best thing is retirement and transfer. Although Yang Jing has always wanted to arrange the retirement and transfer of officers and soldiers, to be honest, there has never been a chance. This is difficult. In the case of the dominant family of Confucian civil officials, it is undoubtedly difficult to take out a piece of meat from the mouth of the Confucian civil officials for the general. Yang Jing has been preparing to tell this matter several times, but he always felt that he had no chance of winning and just dragged it on.
Originally, Yang Jing wanted to do this last year. At that time, there was also a great victory for Zhenjiangbao that Mao Wenlong fought. But Yang Jing always felt that the level of this victory was a little lower. It was a bit far-fetched to use the Zhenjiangbao victory to promote retirement and professionalism. Besides, Mao Wenlong and the civil officials were really not in the way. It was even more difficult to use the Zhenjiangbao victory to promote retirement and professionalism. Yang Jing could only wait for the opportunity.
When he arrived at Yuan Chonghuan's Songshan Fort victory, Yang Jie felt that the opportunity had come. Yuan Chonghuan was a Jinshi and a civil servant. He had achieved such a great victory and killed 8,000 in a battle. It was a very amazing victory. Using him as a target and using his own statement to promote retirement and transfer, the chance of success was quite great. At that time, Yang Jie was preparing for this matter.
Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong gave himself a bigger Sanchahe victory, defeating the Tartar camp at an extremely low cost, killing 20,000 yuan. Yang Jing felt that using this victory to promote the professionalism and retirement of the officers and soldiers was perfect. In such a great victory, when offering prisoners and rewards, he arranged for a person to cry for the soldiers who died, cry for comrades, cry for veterans, make a fuss, and force the civil servants to express his opinion. Even if this matter is done, Yang Jing believed that in that scene, even if someone wanted to object, he would curse in his heart, he would not dare to say something ignorant directly. If the opposition was too loud and someone was procrastinating, he would arrange for people to sing some sad military songs and perform some fierce war dramas. The dig newspaper interviewed some injured soldiers' miserable life after retirement. I believe that under such strong public opinion pressure, this matter would definitely be done for him.
Once this matter is done, Yang Jing believes that his prestige in the army will reach an unparalleled height. It is not empty talk for the soldiers of the world to return. Even if the literary aspect is not good and there are mistakes, the gun will be guaranteed. The result of the reform may not be so perfect, but it can also ensure that the Ming Dynasty will leave as he wants.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing's enthusiasm rose again, and the Kong family was very depressed, which was restored.
After flipping through the memorial, Yang Jie frowned again.
"This Liu Yanyuan!" Yang Jing sighed. Yang Jing has been dealing with his ideas these days. There will definitely be a lot of things happening in the past few days. These things can be said to directly change a lot of things. Yang Jing was extra careful. He calculated and arranged, and hoped that there would be no problems. However, his opponent was not idle and was asking for trouble for himself. Judging from the memorials submitted, Liu Yanyuan, the Minister of War, was their goal this time.
Originally, Yang Jing had already heard of Liu Yanyuan's unclean things, but this guy had long been relying on him. At that time, he needed someone to help him. Although his hands were not very clean, he could barely accept it. It also implied that this guy had restrained himself a few times and his methods of making money had also changed. However, the things he did could not be wiped clean in just one year. Some things had been done, and there would always be traces.
In his team, he was listed as a target. Yang Jing did not find it strange. He had suppressed some impeachment memorials before. However, this time, Yang Jing felt that the problem might be a bit big. Han Du also mentioned this guy in the memorial. Yang Jing vaguely knew that this time it was probably not so easy to pass. In the past, he relied on decentralization to ease the conflict with the civil servants. They also left some face and did not break up. However, this time it was obviously different. There was a big decisive battle, and this guy might be difficult to cross the river.
Yang Jing was not afraid that Liu Yanyuan would be dealt with, but that he was afraid that he would ruin his own affairs at this critical moment and promote retirement and professionalism. It was undoubtedly very important for him. Ten Liu Yanyuans were not as good as this. Yang Jing had to face this matter carefully. There was no one in the capital, so Yang Jing could only sigh.
"Great companion, go and summon Liu Yanyuan, the Minister of War." Yang Jie thought about it and said.
"I obey the order." Wang Chengen agreed and went out to pass the order.
Yang Jing sat there thinking, and he had to communicate with Liu Yanyuan about this matter so that he could be prepared, and he could not impeach him too badly. Otherwise, not only would he be seriously injured, but it would also be a big blow to his prestige, and it would also affect the transfer and retirement of business. This is really a big problem. Yang Jing did not want to waste such a great opportunity.
Liu Yanyuan has lived a very happy life recently. Recently, the Ming Dynasty has been winning battles, one by one, one is bigger than the other. As the Minister of War, he naturally has to benefit from it. He is bound to make a point of credit. If he adds the money he earns with the emperor, it will be even more enjoyable. He entered the Qianqing Palace happily.
Warmhouse.
"I bow to your Majesty!" Liu Yanyuan kowtowed respectfully.
"Get up!" Yang Jie said, a little boring.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yanyuan quickly got up. Seeing that the emperor's face was not very good, his expression that had been so happy that he had disappeared, turning into a frown.
"How are you prepared for the fifth day of the lunar month?" Yang Jie asked. This matter refers to the issue of offering prisoners and also about retirement. Yang Jie talked about retirement early in the morning, which is not a secret.
"Go back to Your Majesty, everything is ready." Liu Yanyuan, Minister of War, thought for a while and said.
"There won't be a problem, right?" Yang Jing asked again, feeling unhappy.
"When you go back to Your Majesty, you must have no problem. If you want to exchange all your contributions for the official army in such a great victory, and the soldiers will retire. If Your Majesty thinks there is a problem, you can give some injured and disabled official army a try first. I don't think anyone will make things difficult for these heroes of the Ming Dynasty." Liu Yanyuan, Secretary of the Ministry of War, said.
"It's better to have no problem!" Yang Jing said depressedly. At this critical moment, the opposition was considered to be in a powerful position. The retirement matter was related to the Ministry of War. The Minister of War was his own person, but this guy was not good at it. Now he was chosen as a target by the opposition. It doesn't matter if he hit him, but he would ruin his own affairs.
"Your Majesty, from now on, your majesty's reputation will be unparalleled. The soldiers will be grateful for your majesty's kindness, the morale and military strength will surely increase. Our Ming Dynasty will be about to wipe out the Eastern Captains." Liu Yanyuan saw that the emperor was depressed and unhappy, and his face was not good, so he said something flattering.
"..." Yang Jingwei didn't know what to say. In this matter of retirement, Yang Jingwei hoped to use this to open a gap and create a precedent, or to convert this credit into a system. If you miss this opportunity, it would be difficult to do this again, but just like, Yang Jingwei sighed in his heart.
"Liu Qing family, I have heard a lot of news recently. Someone wants to impeach you." Yang Jing thought for a long time, but said that it was Yang Jing's style. This time, Yang Jing did not want to be an exception and did not want to keep Liu Yanyuan in the dark.
"Your Majesty, this..." Liu Yanyuan didn't know what to say. Someone impeached him. He also knew that the emperor had warned him several times and had helped him block it several times. Could it be that the emperor warned him again?
"This time, it's probably different from the past." Yang Jie sighed. It was a big trouble when this happened at the critical moment.
"Your Majesty, this is all about someone framing me. I am wronged! Your Majesty, Your Majesty must be the master of me!" Liu Yanyuan immediately shouted for justice.
Yang Jingwei was very upset when he saw Liu Yanyuan crying for injustice. This guy surrendered to him when he was weak at that time, and there was no choice. If he didn't protect him today, it would be a big blow to his reputation and reputation. After this guy surrendered to him, he was still very attentive to become the Imperial Party and helped him do a lot of things. Unexpectedly, there was still a problem. At this critical moment, Yang Jingwei regretted it. He shouldn't have easily allowed him to join the Imperial Party, but now he regrets it.
"Your Majesty, I am really wronged. Since I followed Your Majesty, I have never done anything before. I know that your Majesty can't rub the sand in his eyes. I have changed it. Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Liu Yanyuan looked at the emperor's bad face. He probably had a big deal this time. He asked for help loudly. He was a Minister of War, and his credit was automatically obtained and the money was automatically obtained. Life was so good. Unfortunately, he wanted to live a long life and someone wanted to mess with him. Liu Yanyuan regretted it. If he had met the emperor, he would not have done those dirty things. Now, it has become a stain that can never be washed away. He was used to attack him. He could only beg for mercy and said bluntly that he had never done bad things after becoming the imperial party. He hoped that the emperor would save him.
"Huh... I know what the Qing family said, I will try my best to protect you. However, the situation this time will probably be different from the past. It is not as simple as just a few impeachment memorials. There may be more means to use it. I believe that the Qing family will be innocent after becoming the imperial party, but what happened before, alas..." Yang Jingwei said.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Yanyuan became frustrated. Some people just couldn't believe that they were living a good life. They handed them a knife in just a few days. Now it's over. His good life is over. He still wants to follow the emperor to make a name for himself. Now it seems that he has blown up, those who deserve to be cut into pieces.
"...This time, I will try my best to protect you, but if those people come up with solid evidence, I can't say that I can protect you. The Qing family must be mentally prepared..." Yang Jinge said. Looking at Liu Yanyuan with a frustrated look, Yang Jinge was also a little depressed. He underestimated those people. This move can be regarded as a force for him.
"I understand, thank Your Majesty for your kindness..." Seeing the emperor's face a little depressed, Liu Yanyuan's face turned into bitter melon. After hearing the emperor's words, he might not be able to keep it. He became completely depressed. It seems that he is really finished this time.
Yang Jing quickly thought of a solution. This matter was probably inevitable. So, he had to consider his consequences. Liu Yanyuan's Minister of War could not be done, so who would do it? He still had to find someone who was familiar with him and listened to him. But this person should not be too incompetent, at least he had to have a certain reputation in history...
It suits your own taste, and it must suit the taste of those opposition parties..., trouble, trouble!
After a while, Yang Jie woke up from his thoughts. Seeing Liu Yanyuan standing aside in frustration, he had to consider this guy again. His hands and feet were indeed not clean and he had done a lot of bad things outside. However, as one of the first imperial party to join him, he could not "cover" him, at least not make him too ugly.
"Liu Qing family!" Yang Jingai is no longer a novice. After thinking for a while, he had an idea and asked Liu Yanyuan.
"Go back to Your Majesty, I am here." Liu Yanyuan replied depressedly with his back.
"This time, you may not be able to save you..." Yang Jie said.
Liu Yanyuan was very depressed.
"...You may have to be prepared to step down." Yang Jingwei continued.
Liu Yanyuan was even more depressed. The emperor asked him to step down. What else could he do?
"...But I have also planned a few paths for you, and you can think about it yourself..." Yang Jingwei said.
"Dare you ask your Majesty, who are those?" Liu Yanyuan then became energetic and asked quickly. The emperor had many ideas and might be able to escape this disaster.
"I will give you a promise first. I can protect your stocks and property, and people don't have to be imprisoned..." Yang Jingai said directly.
"...I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Liu Yanyuan said, feeling a little bit better in his frustration, but the result was not very ideal, and it can only be considered as a guaranteed guarantee.
"If you only want to be a rich man in the future and don't want to go back to the court, in addition to what you said above, I can also protect your family from one or two descendants. In this way, although it cannot be compared with the Minister of War, you can also ensure that your family will still be prosperous. After you go back, you can teach your son well. It is not difficult to have me take care of you in the future!" Yang Jing continued.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." At this point, Liu Yanyuan's tears came down. Although the emperor said that he could not save him, the emperor still valued feelings and favors. When impeaching him, he knew his own affairs. Since the emperor said so, he also knew that the things he did were probably taken by someone, and it was probably unrelated.
"If the Qing family still wants to make a difference in this political arena and continue to be an official, I can't help you, but..." Yang Jing said again. Yang Jing also saw that this guy was unwilling to accept it. Now he is the Minister of War and has won consecutive victories in the Ming Dynasty. How could he be willing to leave the position of Minister of War? Not to mention the name in history, at least he is a Minister of War who has made a difference. This official is very enthusiastic and addicted, and he will not easily say that he doesn't want to be an official. Yang Jing also had a scheming. Since this guy can't stay in the capital, it's better to let him go outside and stay blankly, but he doesn't know whether he has the courage or not.
"Ah! Your Majesty, this...! I don't know your Majesty..." After hearing what the emperor said, Liu Yanyuan felt so depressed that he had a little hope again. It turns out that the emperor had a way!
"Although the Kan Qing family may not be able to get through, the Qing family is not without contribution. Now the Sanchahe victory is a rare victory. No matter what those people say, it will not be possible to erase the contribution you have, right?" Yang Jingwei said.
"Reply to Your Majesty, yes, yes, I have to rely on Your Majesty's blessing to make me a little bit of merit." Speaking of his contribution, Liu Yanyuan had some hope, yes! Although his butt was not clean, the contribution of the Sanchahe victory could not be erased no matter what. Liu Yanyuan's hope was back.
"I will give you a trick, provided that you can endure hardships and not be afraid of death. If you feel that you can't stand it, you can't go and still be a rich man at home. If you spend more energy on your son, you will let your son shine in the future..." Yang Jiewei said.
"Please give me advice, Your Majesty." Liu Yanyuan said with great ease.
"Now the Qing family is an official in the capital, I am afraid that it will not be able to continue to be an official. However, if the Qing family still wants to be an official, it might as well try overseas. Although there are stains on the Qing family, if you are an official overseas, it means derogatory. Even if there are some stains, it will not prevent the Qing family from becoming an official. Moreover, the Qing family still has the credit of Sanchahe. As long as I deal with it, the Qing family still has hope of becoming an official. Now the Daliuqiu is developing very quickly and can develop quickly.
In a few years, the county can become a prefecture, the prefecture can become a prefecture, and in the near future, it can become a province. After a few years of hard life, I am trying to find a way to transfer the Qing family back. In this way, the Qing family can always be an official, which is a bit hard..." Yang Jing came up with an idea. This is not a good idea, almost a bad idea, but if Liu Yanyuan wants to be an official, there is almost this way to go. Demote, this word is not a good word, with a bad meaning in it, but Yang Jing wants to say that this is actually a good word.
Yang Jing admired the political atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, which was demoted from the central government to the local government, and the court struggle had a certain bottom line. This was much better than the party struggles that were alive and dead. Many great people in the Song Dynasty were superiors and subordinates, and had ups and downs, leaving behind many stories praised by future generations. The party struggles today seem less intense, but they were intentionally differentiated; intentionally diverted their attention; intentionally suppressed, and they still had such an effect. In fact, they still exist. Yang Jing wanted to learn from the Song Dynasty, leaving a backdoor for the party struggles in the Ming Dynasty, or setting a precedent. If someone wants to follow this path in the future, there will be a precedent to follow.
However, Yang Jing also knew that this was not necessarily a good way to learn from. His own ideas might not be able to be implemented. Yang Jing's meaning was actually to lay a solid foundation for colonial expansion and to rectify the reputation of the colonies. If he was demoted, he went to a place outside the country and then rose again in a few years. I am afraid everyone would ask, why should he get up? Then, it is obvious that you should care about the colonies, which are very helpful for developing colonies and rectifying the reputation of the colonies. In a few years, some well-developed colonies should be treated with the mainland. No one will regard those places as enclaves or barren lands. From then on, these places will become an indivisible territory that China has been indivisible since ancient times.
"Great Ryukyu?" This is not the first time Liu Yanyuan has heard of this name. He is quite familiar with this name. The pirate Zheng Zhilong and the immigration matter are all related to this.
"Yes, it's Da Ryukyu. Now Master Xu is immigrating there, and it has achieved some results. It has been well developed. It can be transported to the mainland in two years. In less than two years, the county with better development will become a prefecture. If the Qing family is unwilling to leave the officialdom, I can help and send the Qing family over. The Qing family stays there for a few years, earn some achievements, and return to the court with its achievements. This is not a waste of the way. The Qing family can also use this to wash away the stains on their bodies and be a clean and innocent person... What does the Qing family mean?" Yang Jingwei said.
Liu Yanyuan hesitated, and what the emperor said was quite attractive. As a member of the imperial party, he knew how much effort the emperor had put into Daliuqiu. The emperor did not lie to him. It was absolutely possible to let him return to the court after a few years based on his merits. However, obviously, Liu Yanyuan's hesitation was quite large. The view that has been formed has told him that it is a place where the world is outside, a place where the people there drink blood and eat meat, and he is likely to die there.
"Dare you ask your Majesty..., can you take any position in the past?" Liu Yanyuan, who was hesitant, asked about his treatment. He didn't want to go or not, but he still had to ask about the treatment.
"Haha, have the Qing family forgotten about retirement?" Yang Jingai said with a smile.
After the emperor said this, Liu Yanyuan immediately knew what the emperor was saying. Now the immigration officials there have been many times reported to the court, saying that the natives there often went down the mountain to attack immigrants, begging the court to send official troops to suppress them, and to stay here forever, in case such a thing happens again. Now that retirement is a matter of retirement, they also intend to take advantage of this east wind. Since there is a request there, the court naturally must not ignore it. After all, it is related to large immigrants, so it is necessary to send troops. However, obviously, the cost of sending troops is too high, and even if the troops are sent, it is impossible to stay permanently. Therefore, there is room for operation here. A part-time constable, part-time army, and part-time militia are the target of retired and resignation this time, and are used to resettle the emperor with those retired soldiers. In this way, they can have a long-term job, not starve to death, and even have an official position. The social status is not too bad, and it is not comparable to ordinary yamen runners.
This is also the bottom line of Yang's reform and reform of military affairs. Not to mention retirement and transfer in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, at least they had to do so in the colonies and then slowly introduce them to the mainland.
"Your Majesty is talking about inspectors?" Liu Yanyuan asked softly. This matter was one of the secrets of the emperor who was involved in the imperial party. When he saw the emperor talking about this, he immediately became serious.
"Yes, the Qing family is demoted, and it is not easy to be a full-time official. However, this inspection is pretty good. The Qing family has been the Minister of War and is not afraid that the retired officials and soldiers will not be convinced. It is not difficult to achieve results. It is just right to do the inspection. Now, as long as you stay for one year, the county there can be turned into a prefecture, and the Qing family can naturally be promoted to the prefecture inspection. If you stay for another two years, the Qing family will naturally become a prefecture inspection. In a few years, the Qing family can be a patrol inspector. At that time, that place will become a good place for everyone to be promoted and become a hot commodity. Even if the Qing family wants to stay there, they are afraid that they will not be able to keep it. They can easily jump back. How about it?" Yang Jing said.
"This..." Liu Yanyuan was really moved, but the gap from a minister of War to a ninth-rank inspector can only be described as falling to the ground. He may not have played like this in the entire Ming Dynasty. He either resigned and resumed in a few years, but the way the emperor pointed him to start from a ninth-rank official was to start again. This was a heartbeat!
"How is the Qing family thinking?" Yang Jingang asked.
"This... Your Majesty, I'm brave enough to retire if I call it an illness?" Liu Yanyuan felt that although the emperor's words were reasonable and attractive, he still couldn't make up that determination, felt that it was enough, or that he couldn't endure the hardship.
"Haha, it's not that I'm talking about you, Liu Qing's family, that none of the things under your hands is clean. Even if you are sick, the stain cannot be removed. With this stain, how can you come back? This is not a political dispute? If it's just a political dispute, it's easy to deal with, and I won't spend so much effort to help you. If you want to clean up your affairs, you can only admit it openly, accept the punishment, and then start from the lowest level of officialdom openly.
When you return to the court, only in this way can others have nothing to say. When you return to the court, others will only give you a thumbs up and admire you... Qing family, if you can do this, it will be a legend. In the history books of the Ming Dynasty, you Liu Yanyuan will inevitably be... Haha..." Yang Jing became happier and happier when he thought about it. He joked with Liu Yanyuan, and had planned a messy "I will come back" path for Liu Yanyuan.
Chapter completed!
