Great Ming National Teacher

Chapter 56 The Big Pie

Huang Taiji was wounded in the second year of Chongzhen. This year Gao Yingxiang was beaten so badly that he was temporarily unable to make further trouble. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were killed because of the coup. Now it is time to carry out comprehensive reforms. In the best period, Li Yunya originally wanted to delay for a few more years. On the one hand, his own ability was insufficient, and on the other hand, his trust in Zhu Youjian's heart had not yet reached a high enough level.

In the past, he seized power from scholar-bureaucrats, but this time he seized power from Zhu Youjian. If Zhu Youjian thought that he was going to usurp the throne and the two turned against each other, something bad would happen. Li Yunya pretended to be mature in the space. Heaps of palm thunders, and several rocket vehicles and field artillery, every time he enters the palace, he is careful, once Zhu Youjian turns his face, he will take the initiative to attack, if it really comes to that point, he will never stand still!

But Zhu Youjian did not. No matter what propositions he made, Zhu Youjian accepted them all. This made Li Yunya feel a little ashamed. He told Zhu Youjian: "We want to build a solid and stable political structure. Every dynasty cannot escape the curse of 300 years of demise. It has been proved that the old way will not work. We need to create a more perfect one. Absolute learning, bring peace to all generations!"

Zhu Youjian asked: "Are all the countries on your Fengyuan star like this?"

Li Yunya replied with certainty: "Yes!"

Li Yunya's first move was the Ministry of National Defense. He divided the three war zones, and transferred Lu Xiang to Liaodong to be the commander-in-chief of the Northeast War Zone. He was in charge of all military affairs, regardless of government affairs, and had less power than the original supervisor.Sun Chuanting was transferred to Shanxi as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest War Zone, and Hong Chengchou was transferred back to be the Minister of Public Security. Sun Chuanting's ability to fight is first-rate, but he has too much involvement with the Jiangnan literary world. Although many rebellions and security issues were suppressed during the Wen Tiren coup, but The hands were not ruthless enough, so Li Yunya replaced Hong Chengchou who was even more ruthless.

Li Yunya issued a mission to all three of them, asking Sun Chuanting to train troops in Shanxi on the basis of breaking the barracks, and to train at least [-] elite soldiers within three years.He sent Tanlangqi to Lu Xiangsheng to take them to Liaodong to suppress the gang of arrogant soldiers, and asked him to dismantle and reorganize all the troops of the Liaodong Army, including the Guanning Iron Cavalry, according to the operating standards. Re-measure the land, crack down on corruption issues such as empty pay in the army, investigate one by one, no matter who it is, strictly and severely, and fight to the end!

Although the Liaodong Army is vigorous, it is inevitable that it has all kinds of bad habits of this era, and it is even more serious. Naturally, Wu Xiang, Zu Dashou and others are the best among them. In the past, I was afraid that they would rebel and surrender to the enemy, and they were expected to deal with the Manchus, so I never touched them. This time, Lu Xiangsheng has [-] elite greedy wolves riding in his hands. Even if they rebel, they will not be afraid. Within a short period of time, thousands of officers were tied up, all of them were handcuffed and put into prison cars, and taken to the capital.

Just half a day after the troop was dispatched, Zhu Youjian received an imperial decree saying that these people were guarding the country and had made meritorious service to the country, which was different from the situation in the Beijing camp at the time, so he was asked to pardon them as appropriate. They were demoted and retained, some were downgraded to one level, some were downgraded to three levels, and some were confiscated to the end, and then they wrote back to Li Yunya and handed over the papers to Zhu Youjian. Li Yunya screened them out and discussed with Zhu Youjian Then some people were transferred to the northwest to listen to Sun Chuanting, so as to completely solve the unstoppable trend of the faction of the Liaodong Army.

Sun Chengzong was recalled to the capital on the front foot, and the Liaodong Army was dismantled and reorganized on the back foot. The old man knew that the master of the state had a high wrist, and thought that the bird was dead, and he should retire and go home at his age. I didn't want Li Yunya to come to visit soon, and asked him a lot of questions about the military, and finally asked him to take over the post of Minister of Defense: "Originally, the old man is old, and he should go home to enjoy the family relationship It’s just that the country is in crisis now, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be done, so I can only be cheeky and beg the old man to fight for Ming Dynasty for a few more years, please don’t refuse!”

Sun Chengzong couldn't figure out his real intentions. Although Li Yunya was sincere and sincere, Sun Chengzong, who had been in the officialdom all his life, still didn't dare to agree casually, otherwise he might have to move his head someday: "National teacher is Heaven and man come down to earth, can make ghosts and gods pull chariots, call wind and rain, touch stones into gold, the old man is already old and dim now, every time it encounters cloudy and rainy days in the past two years, his legs are sore and unbearable. It is impossible to do one's best for the country, and I ask the national teacher not to blame..."

Li Yunya didn't move when he saw that, and turned to Zhu Youjian: "Master Sun is a national treasure, we must invite him out. With him in charge of the Ministry of Defense, we can do other things with confidence."

So the next day, the two came to look for Sun Chengzong hand in hand. As soon as he heard that the emperor was coming, Sun Chengzong hurried out to welcome the two into the house. When asked Sun Chengzong to take over as Minister of Defense, Li Yunya assisted him: "I have made an agreement with the emperor. If you still refuse this time, we will come back tomorrow. Back then, Liu Xuande asked Zhuge Liang to visit the thatched cottage. Comparable to Zhuge Liang in Shu Han, we can also look around three times and look around, and you must go out of the mountain."

Sun Chengzong was so moved that he burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Youjian: "How can this old man compare to Zhuge Kongming? Thanks to the emperor and the national teacher for not giving up, this old man is loyal to the country, dedicated himself, and dies!"

Both Zhu Youjian and Li Yunya came to help him up, and finally persuaded Sun Chengzong to agree. After returning, the two discussed, making Sun Chengzong Gaoyanghou, prince and grand master, and giving him a python robe and jade belt. Sun Chengzong is almost 70 years old. This year is already extremely old, and the Minister of National Defense should go home to retire after finishing his work. He has made enough contributions to the Ming Dynasty in his life, and it is reasonable to give such a reward. After Sun Chengzong found out, he went to the palace to thank him. The old man will come In the Chinese New Year, the eldest grandson was sent to give Li Yunya a New Year's gift.

Li Yunya knows that at this time the most taboo and suspicion, he wants to let Zhu Youjian believe him, everything he does is not selfish, it is for the good of the country, so no matter what he does, he will bring Zhu Youjian with him, and let Zhu Youjian treat him He has a sense of participation in building the country, and he also has a sense of honor when the country is well in the future.

Zhu Youjian abolished Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and asked Sun Chengzong to set up a national security bureau under the Ministry of National Defense, which was responsible for the security of the emperor and important officials. Ministers and deputy ministers of the cabinet were protected by the national security bureau when they went out.

Zhu Youjian sent people to bring in a group of masters from the Wudang School. Among them was a young man named Wang Zhengnan. Although he was young, he was quite skilled in martial arts and clever. Zhu Youjian asked him to be his personal guard.

The two worked together to design the responsibilities and rights of each department. During the process, Zhu Youjian discovered that Li Yunya knew a lot, even how much a farmer spends every year, how much grain an acre of land has, and many things made him feel It was an eye-opener. It turns out that the relationship between the government and the people is like this. How the people below evade taxes, how the Tibetans and the ordinary Taiwanese collude with each other, and how the officers draw their military pay... Originally, his eyes were darkened. The memorial, which has no clue at all, can be resolved with a few words when it comes to Li Yunya.

He began to gradually believe in Li Yunya's words: A person who grew up in a deep palace cannot govern such a huge country well. If he holds all the rights in his own hands, not only will he be tired of work, but the country will also be ruined by himself. Worse, the most prosperous dynasties in the history of the country were often dominated by names and prime ministers. When the emperor ruled, there was Shang Yang's reform far away, and Zhang Juzheng's reform recently...

In fact, what moved him the most was Li Yunya's words: "You don't want to go out with me? In the future, I will build a super ship with an iron hull, which will be many times larger than the Emperor's Palace! Go to North Korea , to Japan, to Ryukyu, to Java, to India, to Africa. To see black people, to see white people, to eat bananas, coconuts, and pineapples! Do you want to stay in the Forbidden City for the rest of your life? Not just you, but your son in the future , your grandson is either imprisoned in the Forbidden City or in a fiefdom, what is the difference between living in a prison?"

Hearing Li Yunya talk about overseas customs, Zhu Youjian was very moved: "It's just that the king of a country can't move lightly..."

Young people in their twenties, who doesn't want to go out for a walk?Back then, Emperor Zhengde couldn't stay still, and secretly ran out of the Forbidden City to fight against the Mongols outside the Great Wall. Later, King Ning's rebellion made him so happy that he insisted on his own conquest. Just halfway there, King Ning was captured by Wang Shouren , Emperor Zhengde asked Wang Shouren to release King Ning quickly, and he wanted to fight again. The courtiers criticized Zhengde for being absurd, which actually reflected the helplessness of the emperor from another aspect.

"So you have to delegate power, you can't hold on to all the power, then you will confine yourself in the Forbidden City, exhaust yourself to death, and the country will go from bad to worse, the more you let go, the more you will get. "

Zhu Youjian couldn't accept it: "Then, wouldn't it be better for me to pass on the throne to someone else?"

Li Yunya laughed: "Are you afraid that your courtiers will rebel? You have to take precautions against yourself. Isn't there Wen Tiren who will rebel against you? The more power you have, the more they will rebel against you. If you give the prime minister enough Power, they are all going to fight for the prime minister, who will risk being ransacked and exterminated to become emperor? Besides, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and the Ministry of National Defense is still in your hands, and there is also the Ministry of Supervision, which specializes in evaluating and supervising officials Yes, with these two departments in your hands, what are you afraid of?"

Zhu Youjian pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "I understand. It is written in the book that before Dong Zhongshu deposed the Confucianism of the hundred schools of thought, the Han Dynasty ruled the country according to the way of Huang Lao, and the emperor was required to rule by doing nothing. You are a Taoist. But what do you mean?"

"That's what it means!" Seeing that Zhu Youjian had found the basis for the sage classics by himself, Li Yunya was unexpectedly happy, "Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something. You listen to me. After five years, within ten years, I promise to take you with me." Go out to sea and see a ten-foot-long fish!"

"Ten feet long? But the Kun mentioned in "Zhuangzi"? Are we going to Beihai?"

"It's not just the North Sea, we can go anywhere by then! And that thing can be found in every sea area, and there are many, many interesting things, you have seen it all, and you will not waste your life, otherwise you will just stay in the Forbidden City For a lifetime, the country is still a mess, so what's the fun in that!"

When Li Yunya had nothing to do, he would tell Zhu Youjian about overseas affairs, subtly influencing him. Zhu Youjian was very fascinated by what he heard. The deer, as well as the legendary Suan Ni and the big mouse with a meat bag on its belly, the newly established department gradually took shape under the efforts of the two.
