Chapter 258: Pay and return, court meeting
There has always been only those who please the emperor, but no one dares to bargain with the emperor. Your contribution is great and your contribution depends entirely on the emperor's wishes.
The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all kindness, which is the privilege given to the emperor by feudal society. There are also clear rewards and punishments, and no one dares to blame those who are ruthless and merciless.
However, during the Apocalypse period, the emperor's actions cannot be said to be grateful, but the efforts and rewards can be balanced as much as possible.
To let the horse run, you have to feed the horse grass. This is a very simple truth, although many emperors regard the efforts of their ministers and their people as natural.
It was precisely because of this concept that the emperor devoted himself to Liaodong without hesitation and improved the treatment of soldiers who fought on the battlefield and defended their country.
Sufficient food and salary are the guarantee of victory. Since we want to pacify Liao and destroy slaves, don’t let the soldiers bleed and cry. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. What a simple truth.
The emperor treats ministers and even merchants the same way. Others should be willing to contribute, and others should be motivated to form a virtuous cycle.
It is not Zhu Youxiao's style to just seek but not reward. Moreover, it will gradually cause devotees to lose their enthusiasm and exhaust their wealth.
The model of win-win cooperation is gradually being established, which is also an important step for Zhu Youxiao to get rid of land taxes by the court.
Of course, few people know the emperor's layout and understand the emperor's long-term plan.
But this is not important. At most, the emperor is a little lonely and sighs, "Everyone is drunk, but I am awake alone."
Scanning the ministers who were bowing to His Highness, the emperor's expression was solemn, showing a majesty that could not be offended. He gently raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "All the Lords are calm."
"Long live, long live, long live!"
Hearing the sound of the mountain crying for a long time, the emperor pursed his lips slightly, and his smile flashed.
The officials of the Honglu Temple left the shift first and reported to the emperor that they had entered Beijing and resigned. These people were reported to the Honglu Temple the day before. The emperor had already said that he would summon him, so he would go to the palace to meet him first.
After several discussions, the northern governor who came to Beijing to report his work finally formulated a disaster relief plan that would make the emperor satisfied.
Today I will leave Beijing? According to their level, it is quite normal for the emperor to summon him.
Although he was dissatisfied with Yang Lian, but over the past few days, he and other governors discussed the plan seriously, and the emperor did not replace him.
Anyway, it can be replaced at any time? Don’t rush. Yang Lian is familiar with the place and can do his job well? Take care of his own mouth? The emperor can also endure it.
"All the ministers are all officials with great responsibilities on their shoulders. If the local government is safe, the court will be safe. Especially after the disaster comes, the local government will be stable and the people will be safe? It is even more my expectation."
The emperor calmed his voice down? But his expression was very solemn and his voice was very low. "In all dynasties, great catastrophes almost all mean great turmoil. The reason is only two words "hunger". It has risen due to famine. It is not uncommon for chaos in the world, and it is not uncommon to change dynasties."
The governors bowed and stood solemnly? I knew that the emperor attached great importance to the arrival of a major disaster, but when it came to "changing dynasties"? It was still rare.
What is more serious than this? I'm afraid it's in the eyes of the emperor? It's gone.
"Before all the officials? I will give you four words? That is 'people-oriented'." The emperor's voice was still echoing in the hall, "If the people are safe, the country will be safe; if the people are in chaos, the country will be in chaos. Remember it carefully."
The emperor stopped and waved to the eunuch. The palace servants walked forward with a tray. This was the emperor's reward, and every governor had it, and it was the same.
"I thank you for your kindness, remember the Hadith." The governors knelt down to thank you.
Yang Lian opened her lips, as if she had something to say, but someone pulled her sleeves apart, so she had to shut her mouth helplessly.
"Since it is beneficial to the country and the people, why should Brother Yang be obsessed with the details?"
"Does Brother Yang admit that he is the Donglin Party? Long live to make progress and eliminate party disputes. Brother Yang wants to argue with the Donglin Party?"
"When you are planning your own affairs, Lord Yang is no longer a censor, and it is no big deal to live long. Why do you take it as your responsibility to make suggestions and find some indefinite names and anger?"
"Stand up to the world and help the people, Lord Yang also held such an ideal when he was studying? Since he was in office, he could show his ambitions. If he was angry and dismissed, what would be beneficial to Brother Yang besides gaining the reputation of loyalty and integrity?"
Yang Lian thought of the persuasion of Fang Zhenru and others, and also thought of what Wansui said about "selling directly to buy fame", and finally suppressed his dissatisfaction.
When the emperor saw Yang Lian being honest, he felt relieved. It was not that you were required to be a local official, but that he would also give you a chance. Don’t be ungrateful.
I have eliminated party struggles, but I am only talented and have never been inclined to any faction. Over the past few years, officials should have known my original intention. Is it just you, Yang Dahong, who is not able to understand?
The governors and governors bid farewell to the Hall of Farewell, and the court will follow the normal procedures to report the border.
According to the rules, if there is a border report, "the big ones reveal the public, and the small ones carry the memorial book, and the early court announced it before the news, so it is the power of the country and the martial arts are revealed."
Minister of War Sun Chengzong came out to report two things, one in Liaodong and the other in the southwest.
Regarding Liaodong, the main thing is to mobilize troops into Liaoning and transport food, grass and materials.
The southwest won a small victory again. Youtuo could not withstand the blockade and siege. He believed that the Anshe rebels had no chance of turning the tables and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, he already knew all these through secret reports to the emperor. Therefore, after a brief question and a few words, the Ministry of War decided according to its authority.
Compared with Jiannu in Liaodong, the combat effectiveness of the She'an rebels was more than one level worse. Their long-term suppression was mainly due to the complex terrain of the steep mountains and ravines in the water.
Therefore, although the She'an rebels were in great momentum at the beginning, they attacked Chongqing and Guizhou, local chieftains were indispensable to changing their responsibilities and expanding the momentum of the She'an rebels.
As long as the Ming army stabilized its position and did not underestimate the enemy's risk of taking the loss of complex terrain, the She'an rebels would fight less and weaker the more they fought, and they would not have the energy to jump around.
The emperor was also cruel to completely eliminate the rebels in Shuixi and completely incorporate Shuixi into the administrative management of the Ming Dynasty, so that the She'an family would become history.
"I obey the order." Sun Chengzong hesitated for a moment when he heard the emperor's explanation, and bowed and retreated.
He didn't expect that Long Live had a decision. Even the Tumen who surrendered and surrendered would not continue to retain it, but moved to Mekong Province.
How can the local snake fight with a strong dragon after leaving the ground?
Of course, Sun Chengzong knew that the emperor wanted to solve the Shuxi issue once and for all, but such a disposal would be detrimental to the division and disintegration of the She'an rebels.
After the court is over, it is more appropriate to propose to the emperor, make some changes or slow down.
Sun Chengzong gave the emperor face, but he didn't know that the emperor had made up his mind.
The cost is a bit high, but it is temporary, and in front of you. In the long run, it not only eliminates future hidden dangers, but also provides manpower for the development of Mekong Province.
