Chapter 37
After Zhu Houzhao reissed Qi Lumi to the officers and soldiers of the regiment battalion and the imperial soldiers, not only Guo Rong's family received the favor, but also tens of thousands of middle and lower-level officers and soldiers.
Liang Ze, the subordinate of Guo Rong, also had money to ask his wife to deliver her daughter-in-law. After a few days, his wife gave birth to a fat boy for him.
For the soldiers of the Imperial Army, although Zhu Houzhao only paid a salary ranging from 100 to 500 taels to each person, these soldiers really remembered Zhu Houzhao and were determined to be loyal to Zhu Houzhao.
Emperor Zhu Houzhao not only gave them the guarantee of their lives, but also gave them the desire to change their lives through verbal motivation and commitment.
at the same time.
Zhu Houzhao not only conquered the morale of the regiment battalion and the imperial guards, but also influenced Wang Yangming, who was the head of the Ministry of War at that time.
Wang Yangming was very inspired by Zhu Houzhao, so when he returned to his home, he got into his study and started writing quickly, and he didn't even bother to eat.
Recently, as the end of the year is approaching, and the rituals of the emperor's burial ceremony are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Hua, who was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, was not busy with government affairs. He was a little afraid of the cold and went home early. When he saw his son Wang Yangming writing something in the study, he couldn't help but smile. He thought that his rebellious son was not in the bamboo forest or in the trees, and he knew how to read and write.
Wang Hua changed into a regular household clothes and walked to his son. Seeing that his son was writing a memorial, he felt even more satisfied: "Now you are a court official, and you are very good at practicing government affairs. Your duty as an official is also beneficial to the people. What are you writing?"
"Ten Thousand Words of the Book!"
Wang Yangming replied, and then continued to dip ink and write.
Wang Hua was very shocked. He had not seen an official who wanted to write a ten thousand words for so many years, so he couldn't help but read it.
But when Wang Hua saw that the words on it were all "restoring military preparations", "recruiting elite soldiers", "opening seas and commerce", he couldn't help but get furious and grabbed Wang Yangming's unfinished memorial and started to tear it up:
"Bastard! You are so crazy! Who asked you to write these! Do you think I didn't live long enough? I think my Wang family is too stable and sound! I think the court is too peaceful! Why do I have such a son who seeks fame?"
"Master, this is not seeking fame, but considering the country of the Ming Dynasty, or to be precise, considering the country of the Han Dynasty. Today, Your Majesty was right when inspecting the camp, and I cannot repeat the path of the Song Dynasty! Although the change of dynasties is a common thing in history books, it is nothing to do with the rise and fall of a family, and it has no effect on us and other families. But if the alien race destroys my country, it will not destroy the family, but destroy my China!
The Ming Dynasty can perish, but the Ming Dynasty cannot perish in the hands of foreign races. Children are both ministers of the Ming Dynasty and people of China. We should advise the emperor to revitalize the military power while our Ming Dynasty is still in power and clear out the Tartars outside the border to avoid the invasion of the Chinese nation by foreign races a hundred years later. There are also the Western countries coming from the east of the Japanese, all of whom have the ambition to regard our Chinese as a fertile ambition!"
When Wang Yangming said that, Wang Hua was already trembling with anger: "You are talking nonsense. You are trying to make Your Majesty fight to the military. How can you have nothing to do with the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty? Now I can see that you are not only a rebellious son, you are also a rebellious minister! If I don't beat you to death today, you will eventually kill the throne!"
"Enough! Your Majesty is right. This is our era. Master, you are old and don't understand our ideas very well. The child can understand it. But can you just sit back and watch the Tartars plunder my border town and kill my border people? You are also the Minister of Revenue, the Six Ministry of Revenue, and the Nine Ministers. You can't even think of a way to pay the money for the rice. You only know how much rice you can eat. You are not a rioter and you are a mediocre minister!"
Wang Yangming seemed to be stimulated by his father Wang Hua's actions, so he became rebellious and directly mocked his father.
Wang Hua, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, blushed with anger. He couldn't help but slap him directly, but in the end he couldn't do anything. He just sat down helplessly, lowered his hands and said, "I'm against it, I'm against it!"
Seeing that his father did not say anything else, Wang Yangming stood by silently, his mouth was raised very high, and he felt a little distressed when he looked at the Wanyan Book that he had not finished writing on the ground: "The child has decided not to be a saint or a good minister. A saint cannot get rid of human evil, but a good minister can help the king to eliminate hidden dangers in the world!"
Wang Hua didn't expect that his son Wang Yangming was so rebellious. He stomped his feet in anger and shouted suddenly: "Come on! Push Wang Yun into the woodshed!"
As he said that, Wang Hua turned around and said coldly to Wang Yangming: "I will write you a resignation memorial tonight. You will go back to your hometown to study! I will sooner or later cause a huge disaster for my Wang family! I am still in my thirties, so why are I still so ignorant of the world!"
At this time, two Wang family soldiers had already walked in: "Master, do you really want to lock up the uncle?"
"Closed! Without my instructions, you are not allowed to let him out! This son will become a shame to my Wang family!"
In a rage, Wang Hua no longer had the gentleness of the past, and his eyes were even more breathless when he looked at Wang Yangming.
Wang Yangming talked about his nails calmly, as if his anger towards his father was commonplace, and he seemed to believe that his father would not do anything to him. He waved his sleeves and followed the servant to the woodshed: "Sooner or later, the Wang family is proud of me!"
It is now the tenth day of October.
The Ministry of Rites had previously agreed that Emperor Daxing was posthumously named Jiantianming Dacheng, Zhongzheng, Saint, Shenwu, and Emperor Benevolent, Dadejing, and the temple name was Xiaozong.
Now it is when Emperor Xiaozong's coffin was buried in the tomb. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Rites, starting from October 16, Emperor Xiaozong's coffin will be opened to the imperial tomb.
Starting from the tenth day of the October 10th, Taichang Temple submitted a memorial to demand that the fasting begin. Then Zhu Houzhao issued an order to order the ministers to start fasting, and stay in the yamen, and slaughter and music were banned until the day when the coffin was buried in the mausoleum.
Zhu Houzhao also had to start fasting from this day, and because he wanted to complete the burial ceremony of Emperor Xiaozong, he had to return to the Forbidden City.
Because the Qianqing Palace was being repaired by the Ministry of Works, Zhu Houzhao temporarily lived in Cining Palace west of the Qianqing Palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhang also temporarily lived here. The mother and son lived in the same palace at the same time.
Although Zhu Houzhao is now a time traveler, he now possesses the bodies of Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang's sons, so he should naturally fulfill his obligation to be a son of man.
However, Zhu Houzhao actually didn't understand why all officials were in a hurry to repair the Qianqing Palace for him. Hongzhi had not repaired it for 18 years, but he had to wait until Emperor Xiaozong was buried. It seemed very urgent. After the Ministry of Works submitted the report, the cabinet voted to allow it on the same day.
But after thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao could almost understand the thoughts of these civil servants, just to keep himself in the Forbidden City.
