Episode 236

The queen ’s decree to punish the two princesses had just spread through the harem. The princesses, concubines, eunuchs, and court ladies looked at the dim lights of the Yongfu and Yongchun princess palaces. Some shook their heads and sighed. The purpose of this came, the princess palace regained its brilliance, the cost of the cut, and the servants who had been taken away were all returned. Luo Xiang, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was taken away by the emperor Yang Ling who led the army, and he was detained for investigation.

No one can think of what Yang Ling did, the counterattack was so fast. But even the harem knew that the two princesses and the mighty princes of the outer court were very close, and the mighty princes were the first celebrities following the emperor. In this battle, the queen lost.

After Zhengde immediately went to the palace to preach, he still felt angrily and said angrily: “For **** things, my yumei wants to use a few candles to break the finger, and tens of thousands of silver he says he is greedy. , Because I always regarded him as a good person. “

Yang Ling persuaded: “Emperor, you don’t have to be too angry. The two princesses are trapped in the palace all the year round. The empressed empress is the clearest. The emperor’s compassion for the princess brought them out to relax. Pay attention to the red tape festival, which violates the rules of the palace … “.

Zhengde relented and waved his hand: “It’s none of your business. This is how the queen gave me a face, or not! Otherwise, I can’t see Luo Xiang’s wolf ambition!”

Yang Ling took the opportunity to say: “Emperor, the empress empress has just been refuted, so she was dismissed back, and her face must not look good. The empress mother is the master of the Sixth House, and she cannot embarrass the empress empress. When she was a princess, she was worried about the emperor waiting for a long time. There were so many women in front of the palace gate.

In addition, there have been many impeachment impeachments in these few days. Two adults, Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng, went to work. There must be many people who are dissatisfied among the ministers. In this way, the face of the mother-in-law is completely covered, and the anger of the group can be calmed down a little in the second, and three … “.

Zhengde rose up proudly and raised his eyebrows, saying: “I don’t think it’s the case. I want the girl to travel, she embarrassed me. I have to be careful. What should I do? I just don’t do it. I want to see it. Look, who dares to move you! “

Yang Ling busy said: “Emperor. You forgot to wait for the army commanders of the four towns to lead the army into Beijing, and the ministers will accompany the emperor to perform martial arts training. The emperor trusts the micro ministers and delivers many ministers to the ministers. Wrong, did not disappoint the emperor’s trust, let others see the joke? The minister means … hand over the tax supervisor. The household department and the ceremonial supervisor jointly control, this third … The minister can accompany the emperor’s training, Assisting the Emperor to achieve hegemony. “

When he said this, Zhengde turned angry, saying: “What I said is that I forgot, Yang Qing was worried about everything, but he didn’t have time to train with me. However … At that time, Wang Yue ’s old man cheated and concealed, but I was relieved to hand it over to you. Why is it necessary for the household department to intervene now? Does Liu Jin also believe it? Ai Qing does not know that I and Han Wen want money, and he and I cry poor. , I really do n’t want to take care of him. “

This is not the time to bring down Liu Jin. It can be seen from his treatment of Gu Dayong. Gu Dayong caused a land disaster that was ten times larger than Luo Xiang. Didn’t the little emperor want to protect him? This emperor is more important than reason. Unless he hurts his beloved and beloved, and betrays his trust, he will also carry it for you because of his sinful nature.

Yang Ling knew this well, so Zheng Zheng said: “Chen dare not dare to guarantee the future, but now Gong Gong Liu must be loyal to the emperor to deal with the emperor. What can the minister believe? This is a check and balance between the ministers.

The foundation of governing the country lies in using the law of the public, the strictness of the system, the clarity of the policies, and the balance of checks and balances. It’s a waste thing, and I’m not afraid that someone will blind the emperor and someone like Luo Xiang will appear again. “

Yang Ling smiled and said in a grinning way: “As far as Nathan is concerned, the emperor eats meat, and the minister also wants to get some soup to drink. When the minister assists the emperor, until his white hair walks, he has a son and a grandson, saying There may be greed, maybe it will knock on the bamboo sticks of the emperor, and wipe oil from the emperor, but if there is another gang of people staring at the minister, he is always ready to make a small report to the emperor. Dare? “

Zhengde was amused by him and said: “Don’t pretend to be poor with yours. But your son is my son, and he will still be wronged. Hmm … But it makes sense for you to say that. Supervise each other, and the world ’s taxes will not be caught in personal pockets. This will make it not afraid that someone will benefit from it when it is handed over to others, and this country is handed over to my children and grandchildren. Just do it. Discuss, how to divide this authority, just … “

Zhengde glanced at Yang Ling apologetically and patted him on the shoulder and said, “It’s just that Ai Qing has suffered for me, alas! It’s really wronging you.”

Yang Ling and Jiao Fang drove to Wumen in the same car.

The sky is unclear, the spring is cold and Liao Qiao. The car is very well maintained. The axle just squeaked slightly, walking on the wide and flat Jingshi Avenue without any bumps.

Jiao Fang, wearing a scarlet mantle and sitting on a cushion with a slightly twisted beard, said: “Master, under the door yesterday, I didn’t sleep well overnight. Although many things are still in the planning stage, there are too many things to do. Exchange business and raise horses with Duoyan Sanwei City, receive candidates for Dongying State Envoys and Negotiating Envoys, candidates for the establishment of mariners, city shipping companies, customs, regulations, setting of government offices, setting of shipyards … Something went wrong. It’s a little sloppy. “

Yang Ling has seen him look tired, and his eyes are still covered with bloodshot eyes, and he persuaded: “The old man should know how to grasp the big and let the small, take the weight and give up the light, and everything must be a virtuous minister, but it is not a noble minister, our policy To carry it out, don’t be sung by local officials as a singular scripture. You must rely on a group of credible officials. “

Yang Ling glanced at Jiao Fang slightly and said with a chuckle: “Yan Song’s outstanding achievements should have been promoted. This time he wrote a letter and made great contributions, but the old man still refused to reuse it, hehe … because he is Jiangxi People? “

Jiao Fang’s hand stagnate, his old face blushing, and squeaked: “Adult. Under the door …”.

Yang Ling patted his hand with relief, Wen Wen said: “The old man’s career is ups and downs, and he has been depressed for many years. This officer has also heard of it, and there are many talents in the south. Jealous, jealous, and willing to use native ministers in the same country, it is no wonder that Pao Lao is angry. But Gao Lao has suffered so much, why is it that he is in a high position today and is like a person who hated the disdain in his past? “

Yang Ling smiled and said: “The court was always the prime minister of the dynasty, and he should have the mind of the prime minister. Now it is time to use the land, let alone Yan Song is our people, even if he is not, as long as he is loyal to the state, he is dedicated to the people. Our plan can be Implement it earnestly, and Pao Lao should reuse him. “

He pondered for a while and said: “I mean, shipyards and naval construction can be boldly handed over to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Nanzhen Fusi, as long as a trusted local is used as the Ministry of War, as for the specific location and employment. 1. Set up a bureaucratic office and formulate regulations to lay down all these things, and let ’s grasp the overall situation, otherwise you can vomit blood from your own tiredness. Even if a careful plan is really drawn out, it will be difficult to achieve its goals without the implementation of capable officials. “

Yang Ling is confident and confident: “Songhuajiang Shipyard is close to the virgin forest. Jinling Shipyard has planted thousands of acres of trees for more than 100 years, all of which can be obtained locally. Quanzhou Shipyard’s large ground keel and other objects may need to be transported from the north. Go to the Ministry of Industry and do n’t worry about the old man. “

Yang Ling was so confident because he had seen Zheng He’s charts that Liu Dabang mallet searched from the arsenal of the military department.

In his original impression, he thought that Zheng He’s charts were just a few pieces of paper that recorded the maritime route through the Western Ocean. Unexpectedly, Liu Dabangmao retrieved the chart data retrieved from the Department of the Army, which actually had nine big mouth boxes. After reading the information in these boxes, Yang Ling realized that Liu Dagang gave him a golden mountain and returned.

He had originally thought about sailor construction too simple, and it was a **** nonsense. If he did not see these materials, he did not see the introduction of various functional ships and the cooperation of the team, he can foresee his so-called sailor Once formed, how many times will the blood price be paid or even the danger of annihilation by the whole army, it is possible to grow and mature.

Among the nine large mouth boxes, in addition to the precious information such as the sea route map, the local customs and customs of the countries along the way, politics, and regions, there are treasure ships, flagships, horse ships, grain ships, warships, security ships, and order ships. The entire huge fleet Detailed drawings of warship manufacturing, water warfare, and marine weaponry in all aspects of command, combat, supply, and transportation, as well as the composition of various combat forces and seven communication methods for day and night water operations.

Daming now not only does not have all-round talents capable of manufacturing various functional ships of the entire fleet, but also a qualified sailor will not think of the types of ships and land required by the entire fleet to go to sea. Through the drawings and configuration of the entire fleet, an experienced commander can easily speculate their role, and can quickly grasp the rich experience of ocean-going combat products. If all this is done from scratch and learned from scratch, how much blood will it cost to accumulate these experiences and knowledge?

Yang Ling was overjoyed. There are too many technologies that can be used with a little change in these materials. He originally underestimated the complexity of the construction of the sailor. After reading these detailed materials, he knew that if there were no such charts, he would create a new one. It is necessary to support the naval fighters who go out to sea, train the corresponding personnel, and achieve scientific equipment in nautical technology, communications command, and fleet tactical formations. It must be at least ten years to complete.

What he did not know is that these technologies have been ahead of the world for seven or eight decades a hundred years ago, that is, they are now being used intact. They dare not say that they are more advanced, but they are never behind. These charts have lost and lost. , Save at least tens of millions of silver for Daming. Yang Ling is now concentrating on the Ministry of Industry and the Military Weapon Bureau and asking some personnel from the factory to participate in the sorting. Register by category and re-transcribe.

Because of these detailed information, Yang Ling Jiaofang spoke so confidently.

He thought for a while, and said: “Guo Lao must remember that you only need to grasp three things, and you must not let go: First, the personnel of the mariner, the shipping department, the tax supervisor, the customs, and the mutual government office must There must be stable people who we can trust, use, and stand!

The second is the tax supervisor. The responsibility for formulating tax laws, tax laws, tax types, and tax supervision must be handed over to the household ministry, tax collection, and tax payment to the court chief. Cross-city litigation, maritime litigation, and tax litigation are handed over to the Criminal Department, and the three check and balance each other;

Thirdly, the transaction tax can be divided into a part according to the transaction amount, transaction volume, unique products of various regions, and products related to national economy and people’s livelihood, and be directly received by the local government. Secondly, local officials can support this strategy and spare no effort to implement it, so as not to be hindered by the local government’s yangfengyin violation; thirdly, to levy and divide different commodities through taxation. Guiding the local government to develop corresponding products and goods, and then, it will have an impact on the local governance strategy, which is called a point to bring face.

If these three points are achieved, the overall situation will be grasped. Hold the rudder, hold the rudder, and let him wind and waves, this direction will not be biased. “

Jiao Fang heard a great spirit. It’s a big surprise in my heart, this adult Yang is sometimes naive on the officialdom. As long as the pros and cons can be seen after a few years in the sea of ​​eunuchs, even the obvious trap, this adult is naive, if not the emperor Fascination is undiminished, and the whole catastrophe that has been stumbling over is long gone. But sometimes the political opinions and plans he casually spoke of were forward-looking, sharp-eyed, and took into account many aspects. The thoughtful needle wo n’t fit in, the water wo n’t pour in, even an veteran like him will sigh himself,

Jiao Fang nodded repeatedly, saying that from time to time he drove to Yudao, Yang Ling got out of the sedan, changed his own horse, and arrived in front of Wumen together. Before Wumen, many officials waiting for the DPRK had gathered, and they gathered together in twos and threes to talk about the world.

Bo Xichuming. I don’t know who is in the know. I’ve heard that the queen’s lady in the palace knocked on the mountain and shocked the tiger yesterday, instructing Luo Xiang, one of the eight tigers, to sanction the two princesses. Yang Ling counterattacked and stripped Luo Xiang of his post, but he could not resist the simultaneous accusations of the inner and outer courts, and had to surrender the matter of controlling the world’s tax power.

The news spread quickly among many officials. Yang Ling and the Eight Tigers coaxed in and caused both defeats and injuries. They were forced to surrender their wealth and power, so that those who were dismissed because of the two Shang Shu, and the national policy of Xiehai’s commercial land can also be implemented. The battered officials who were beaten with no energy were rejuvenated, and they were very happy.

But even the four dynasty veterans such as Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng were dismissed from office. They had some fears. Seeing Yang Ling landed in Malay, Jiao Gelao also came out of the sedan. Lighter.

Yang Ling came here today to accompany the courtesy of Shangshu Wanghua to meet King Dongying’s envoys, so he came very early. Yang Ling found that the officials of the Ming Dynasty scholars had a very strange mentality. On the one hand, they regarded themselves as the kingdom of the heavens, and Siyimandi were the people of the borderlands. They were small and humble in front of the heavens, and they seemed not worth paying attention to at all. But for the state of the messenger, they are extremely ceremonial. No matter where they live, eat, or give gifts, they are dozens of times more than the messenger, to show the greatness of the kingdom of prosperity, grace, and etiquette.

They are willing to knelt on their legs or kneel on their knees to be blushing, never giving in, but they are ashamed to be careful about their rewards for the repeated bargaining.

When Yang Ling looked at the Ministry of Justice and Annan, Ryukyu, Korea and other countries to make exchanges an example, such a “pragmatic” diplomatic attitude towards Daming really broke his head and could not think of how they considered it. The people have been allowed to trade freely, stating that most of the missions they will visit in the future must be for commercial purposes. For example, the period of the tribute and the number of tributes provided by the tribute shall not be received by the courtesy.

Wang Hua was not stupid. He also knew that Yang Ling’s suggestion must be accepted by the emperor, so he readily agreed, but in order to have evidence, he made a compromise to the emperor in the name of the court.

Yang Ling walked to the palace gate and saw that Wang Hua was standing at a corner chatting with several ministers. He just wanted to walk over and suddenly noticed that the situation was different. The officials scattered all around felt the sudden calm atmosphere and looked in the same direction. go with.

Yang Ling looked closely and saw an old man with white hair and a tough body. Proudly approached the Meridian Gate.

Someone among the officials who whispered privately whispered: “It is Master Liu from the Ministry of Military Affairs”.

“He hasn’t left Beijing yet? Isn’t it heard that the emperor’s imperial decree was very fast, and the gift department drafted the gift. Was it sent back to his hometown with the post office yesterday?”

“Yeah! I knew you didn’t send it to you. That’s Ma. Ma is 80 years old. His body is not good. He has become depressed and sick these days. I heard that he didn’t get off at Changting. He only made friends with a few friends After chatting a few words across the curtain, he went away. Alas, the first book of the first six books, babble. “

“Yes, my rank is not an official of the Ma People. What am I going to do? I wo n’t answer me when I go, hey! So you went?”

“I …, hush, Master Liu is coming, don’t quarrel. If there is a good show, maybe the boss will have to deal with Master Yang … hum …”.

There was a lot of discussion among the ministers, and Yang Ling looked at Liu Daxia, the old man in common clothes. A pair of thousand-layered round-toed shoes underneath the feet must be shiny like silver. Although many colleagues and friends nodded and greeted each other warmly, they did not squint or say anything.

He strode to the palace gate, squinted his eyes and looked up, the palace was towering. The palace walls are lined with scales, and a ray of Chenxi has broken through the clouds, shot at the red palace wall and palace door eaves in front, and the yellow glazed tiles, 罘 罳, and copper horse beast heads are reflected in the rising sun. , Jin Cancan brightly dazzled.

Liu Daxia turned over and knelt down, looking down and bowing, his head slowly tapping into the dust …

After three kneels and nine knocks, Liu Daxia burst into tears. Weeping can’t be heard: “Xian Huang …”.

Prostrate sobbed for a long time. Liu Daxiacai said loudly: “The first emperor’s favor is very good. The old minister has done his life and it is difficult to repay the case. But the heaven does not do what people want, the first emperor …”.

He wiped his tears and stood up, holding his fist and said: “Dear colleagues, the old man steals the loyal loyalty, the common knowledge between man and nature, but now there is no way to serve the country. The old man is now a commoner, but a commoner can also be able to say something, do something, Unchanging poverty, honor and shame. Your colleagues are so pleased, the old man is gone! “

Liu Daxia’s group twitched and looked at Yang Ling. He twitched his eyebrows and said suddenly: “Worry the country and the people, the world is not tolerant, good and evil are reported, and cause and effect cycle. The old man will widen his eyes and see how the sky will take you!”

Yang Ling heard a wry smile. The old man ’s actions, thoughts, and thoughts were really laughable, but his humanity and character, but also very respectable, his good intentions, he can understand What?

It may take many years for him to be unanimously recognized by the common people in Daming since he has been invincible in his eyes. Perhaps, in the end of Liu Daxia’s life, in the eyes of an old man whose character deserves his own sincere respect but has to helplessly expel him from the court to stop his stupid behavior, he is all a traitor.

The sun shone on Yang Ling. His face was calm, but his heart was a bit lonely. His eyes were drooping, and he did not look directly at the old man. He just replied gently: “All living beings are exhausted. I swear not to be a Buddha. Heaven, do n’t go. Lord Liu, the good intentions of the officer, it is really difficult to confess in front of the adults … Alas, adults take care all the way. “

Yang Ling slowly slapped and bowed down deeply. After a long while, he straightened his waist and saw that there was nothing in front of him. There were still a hundred officials in silence. Liu Daxia passed through the market and went away.

The breeze was sent by Xu, and the bells of Jingyang came along …

Yang Ling and Wang Hua were sitting in the waiting pavilion waiting for the arrival of the Special Envoy. Although the reception specification was higher, but since the embassy represented the king of the other country, the tribute was very significant and it has been a long time since Zhengde succeeded him. The tributary of the unreliable country recognises the sovereign status of the heavenly dynasty. This is a major achievement of the Zhengde Emperor. It is no wonder that he is extremely happy and valued.

The horse mission returned, and the mission had arrived twenty miles away. Yang Ling waved his hand and retreated. He smiled at Wang Hua: “Master Shang Shu. Special envoy of Dong Yingguo is coming. This time, we have to lift the ban and support him from Shang Shu. Yang, thank you very much. “

Wang Hua said with a smile: “Master Yang doesn’t have to be polite. The old man’s family is in Jiangnan. He knows that although the imperial court has banned the sea for a hundred years, the Zhejiang and Fujian surnames have a long-term business relationship with Dongying. Since the official survey and cooperation trade was interrupted, private smuggling trade has become more Rampantly, the sea ban has long become a dead letter, but it has left a large amount of royal taxes in the hands of the gentry. “

Wang Hua sighed: “It’s just … Wang knows that he can’t help but go back to heaven. He just hopes that the general trend will one day. The court can respond to public opinion and lift the sea ban. I don’t think that adults have such courage. I naturally fully support.”

Yang Ling knew that although this scholar Wang was versatile, his temperament was indifferent, and some were at ease, but he said that the ground is also true. If not, he used many means. Let such a modest gentleman advocate the opening of the sea to lift the ban. If you fail to achieve results, you will have to be abandoned by the current ruling class like Dihuang Qiyin.

Wang Hua said with a smile: “Most of the goods needed by Dongying State are produced in the country. For example, the magnets of Raozhou, the silk wool of Huzhou, the silk hats of Zhangzhou, the cotton cloth of Songjiang, as well as books, copper coins, calligraphy and painting, etc. It is several times higher than the deal with Luzon, and it is really a good thing with the country and the people. “

In order to plan to open the sea, Yang Ling did not know how much he had prepared for the investigation. He knew very well about these things, and said with a smile: “Exactly. Dongying has only a few kinds of goods such as swords, swords, sulfur, and fans that can get land in Daming. , The rest can only be paid with silver. I have a shortage of silver. The gold and silver produced by Dongying can therefore flow into our country in large quantities to ease the people ’s need for silver. And real gold and silver have their own value and can be used in the world. I have a lot of benefits in saving national power. “

The two talked about speculation. After another two pillars of Xiangdi time. I saw that there was a team of horses coming from far away, Yang Ling frowned, “My messenger didn’t tell them that the Lishang Shangshu and the official were here to meet? Why is it so negligent?”

Wang Hua glanced at the team of more than 60 people. He smiled and said: “Japanese people have always been arrogant and self-respected, and they are so ancient. At the same time, they are extremely greedy and cunning.

When the Japanese were entrusted to the public, they deliberately walked slowly, and Yang Ling and Wang Hua did not get up to arrange the ceremonies. They were ready to meet, and they still sat and talked and laughed. Wang Hua glanced contemptuously at the horse team and said, “I think I was lacking in naval forces, and the Japanese pirates were utterly helpless in the sea. Only then did the Japanese like this despise them.

In the past, when the Japanese sent the Sui envoy to submit the national document, they claimed to be the “Sunrise at the Emperor’s Son” and called the Sui Emperor “Sunless at the Emperor’s Son”. But next time he came back, he called himself “Emperor of the East” and called Emperor Sui the “Emperor of the West”. Ha ha, one emperor and one emperor, only changed one word, and put themselves on the head of Sui Emperor.

Later, the Tang Dynasty supported Silla, and the Wa Kingdom supported Baekje. They fought each other in a big battle. The U.S. warships were large and small, but they were defeated by the 170 Tang warships. Self-proclaimed, given his country name “Dong Ying”, also readily accepted, showing that the people of other countries are bullying and afraid of being strong. “

Yang Ling’s uneasy smile, it turned out that each other’s tempers had a long history, but not in modern times.

At this time, the horse team was approaching, and there were several carriages carrying gifts. Yang Ling knew that Cheng Qiyun was looking in the team, and saw that there were two officials sent by the bureau before the first few horses, and the figure next to him wearing a white robe was very familiar, and there was a burst of joy in his heart. .

The envoys were dismounted with two ceremonial officials, and there were more than ten feet away. Yang Ling and Wang Hua also got up from the pavilion and greeted them with a smile.

Yang Ling didn’t look to the oncoming envoy of Dongying. His gaze involuntarily flashed to the white-robed scholar behind him. Although he was a men’s wear, the veins of his eyes were so familiar.

Suddenly Yang Ling noticed that her eyes were filled with two bright points. Was the sunlight reflected in her eyes?

Yang Ling was waiting to take a closer look. Cheng Qiyun suddenly lowered her head, her slender and smooth jade fingers flicked past her cheeks with white sleeves, and naturally stopped on her lips. Yang Ling couldn’t see her lips, but she could clearly feel her delicate lips lightly touched by the curve of her face. She was smiling to him, and a shock that touched her heart was like a stone thrown into the lake. Ripple ripples.
