Chapter 309

Chapter 309

"After Ida's death, the third lady should marry Huang Taiji (a Mongol), so that the heaven can be kept peaceful, and she can continue to focus on the affairs of Liaodong."

"Gain San Niangzi understands righteousness, has great talent and respects Han etiquette, and is a citizen of Bancang in ancient Fengzhou; what is Bancang, that is, the Tartars outside the customs who are farming!"

"As long as these two people get married, it will not be a problem for the dynasty to maintain peace in the border town for another 30 years. If it takes these 30 years to assimilate its tribe and make it conquer the east and west for the Ming Dynasty, it will be possible to restore the set and open up Hexi!"

In the dark and dimly lit prison.

Fang Fengshi was talking about side affairs to his inmates.

Since Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Jing to reform the imperial prison and set up a lecture place in the imperial prison, the bureaucrats who entered the imperial prison would have the opportunity to apply to the podium to talk about their knowledge and opinions to a group of political prisoners.

But Fang Fengshi is different from He Xinyin and other scholars.

When it was his turn to speak, because the great Confucian scholars and bureaucrats in the prison asked whether there would be Tartars from the three sides entering the customs and plundering again after Alta, he also talked about the issue of Western Mongolia and Gong after Alta's death. It also mentioned some ideas on how the imperial court should deal with the Western Mongolia issue.

"Why don't you talk about your problems?"

At this time.

Wang Guoguang, who was in a spacious and brighter cell with a bed, a desk, a master chair, and bedding, was tired of writing financial and economic textbooks that officials of this era could understand, so he asked aloud Fang Fengshi said a word.

"What's my problem?"

Fang Fengshi looked at Wang Guoguang and asked.

After hearing this, Wang Guoguang got up, turned his arms, and walked towards the prison door: "It seems that you are in the prison for nothing."

Fang Fengshi chuckled: "What's the point of waiting? It will help the banner schools of the Zhenfu Division and the Confucian scholars who are imprisoned to know more about the side affairs and know the details of the northern captives. Strong and peaceful, I am willing to stay here for the rest of my life, and even feel grateful for the mighty kindness of the emperor."

Wang Guoguang shook his head: "Did you pretend not to know, or are you really confused? You were imprisoned for returning the imperial decree. Have you forgotten?"

"Returning the seal is a last resort for the ruling party. It is sinful but not wrong!"

Fang Fengshi replied.

"wrong!"

"Big mistake!"

"It's innocent but wrong!"

Wang Guoguang corrected Fang Fengshi, and said:

"If the prince hadn't been sealed back at that time, and he had just watched Zhang Puzhou obey the order and kill those officials who recklessly deceived the emperor, there would not have been a series of tragedies in the future."

"Moreover, if the Duke united with the ministers who were dissatisfied with Zhang Puzhou from the beginning, pushed out Zhang Puzhou, and even competed for the position of chief assistant, and replaced the grand master, the officials would not be able to make trouble at all!"

"Don't you understand what your problem is now?!"

After Wang Guoguang said that, he asked Fang Fengshi again.

Fang Fengshi was silent.

"I would like to hear the details, and ask the prince to express it!"

At this moment, He Xinyin yelled in the opposite cell.

Tang Xianzu, who was newly imprisoned by Luo Rufang for slandering the imperial court, asked Luo Rufang to report him for slandering the imperial court, and Tang Xianzu, who had just entered the Imperial Prison, also said at this time:

"This prison is really not in vain. If you don't come here, you won't hear about the third lady, and you won't hear Wang Ge's old talk about Fang Shuxiang."

He Xinyin laughed and said to Tang Xianzu: "You young man, when you are asked to spin yarn, you will know whether this is a good place."

Tang Xianzu ignored He Xinyin, and only asked Wang Guoguang loudly: "Please tell me, Mr. Fang, what is wrong with him?"

"Of course I have the same problem as him, but my problem is not as big as his!"

"There is a purpose!"

At this time, Zhang Jing came to the imperial prison and announced Zhu Yijun's will to restore Wang Guoguang and promote him to be a Shaofu to join the Yige and the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's governing school, and to ask Fang Fengshi to write a self-examination.

After Wang Guoguang received the decree, he left the cell with the textbooks and books he wrote, and when he passed by Fang Fengshi, he still told Fang Fengshi to come:

"Hurry up and check yourself!"

"The Burmese invasion is imminent, and the war in Liaodong is about to start again. The longer you delay, the more unfavorable it will be for military affairs. After all, since Tan and Wang Ergong left, you have been in charge of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council for many years. You are the governor and general of the world, and you are the most familiar with it. It is impossible to do so at this time." Change the person in charge of the military plane, so there is no delay!"

"What's more, Wenyuan Pavilion has already hung a portrait of a famous minister, what about the Privy Council, as the first Privy Councilor, how can it not be hung?"

Fang Fengshi raised his head, glanced at Wang Guoguang, and then knelt down to accept the order.

Soon.

Zhang Jing also asked Jin Yiwei from the Zhenfu Division to send Fang Fengshi pens and ink, and also added a lamp.

Fang Fengshi, on the other hand, picked up the pen, looked at the light in the whale oil, and became depressed: "What are you reflecting on, what did I do wrong, is there still something wrong with the seal, or is there something wrong with indisputable?"

"Great Confucian scholars, as well as the captains of Jinyi, can you tell me where I went wrong?"

At this moment, Fang Fengshi asked about other people in the prison.

"If we know, then we will be able to control the world's military aircraft! It's okay for us to talk about rationality, but it's difficult to analyze what is wrong with public affairs and government!"

He Xinyin replied.

Tang Xianzu also echoed and said: "That's right, a literati like me is good at arranging some romantic affairs for the public and damaging public and private morals, but I really can't tell the mistakes of the public in governing."

Fang Fengshi shook his head and smiled wryly.

……

"How did Fang Fengshi reflect?"

Zhu Yijun woke up early the next morning, playing Baduanjin and asking Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing replied: "According to the Jin Yiwei in the imperial prison, the writing started only after three lamps were burnt, and it is estimated that the writing is almost finished now."

Zhu Yijun didn't say anything after hearing this.

After Fang Fengshi submitted the self-examination manual, Zhu Yijun looked at it, and then ordered: "Bring him to see me!"

Not long after, Fang Fengshi arrived at the Imperial Palace.

As soon as Fang Fengshi arrived at the imperial court, Zhu Yijun asked Fang Fengshi, "Do you know why I want you to investigate yourself?"

Fang Fengshi knelt on the ground and replied: "Your Majesty is a minister who can continue to serve the country, which is the embodiment of the most benevolent grace!"

"You said on it that since the grand master left, you shouldn't have the intention of shrinking back and staying safe, and disregarded the old strategy of making the king's border; so that you openly complained about Zhang Siwei hiding traitors, and secretly condoned Zhang Siwei without a country. from the bottom of my heart?"

Zhu Yijun suddenly picked up Fang Fengshi's self-examination book and asked Fang Fengshi.

Fang Fengshi bowed his head: "Return to Your Majesty, shed blood every sentence, dare not lie to the king!"

With that said, Fang Fengshi simply knelt down:

"The minister was indeed not close to the precipice before, and even dared to go against his will for the official title and return the edict, and did not dare to turn against the world's treacherous and sycophants, and hide his clumsy heart."

"I shouldn't only think about my own safety, but ignore the thoughts of the country and the community!"

"It's good if you can understand, as you are the Taibao, you should also be my humerus!"

Zhu Yijun said at this point: "Still go back to the Privy Council to lead the Privy Council. The victory in Liaodong will not be rewarded, it will be regarded as worth the merit!"

"Your Majesty is as benevolent as the sky, and my ministers will never die!"

Fang Fengshi immediately kowtowed to the ground.

"Jiliao came to report that Li Chengliang had pacified the Gule village where the slave chieftain Atai was stationed, and surrendered more than [-] barbarians; on the Burmese side, Deng Zilong and Liu Chen have led troops to the southwest to conquer; the military plan is urgent, and you should act quickly. Go back to work."

Zhu Yijun said.

Fang Fengshi bowed to accept the order and retreated.

As soon as Fang Fengshi returned to the Privy Council, Qi Jiguang and Liang Menglong, deputy envoys of the Privy Council, greeted him immediately.

"You can be counted out of prison. Things are going on in Burma right now, and I'm waiting for you to follow the emperor's decree and proclaim the country's prestige!"

Qi Jiguang first smiled at the other party and cupped his hands at the right time.

"With the Duke of Ji planning the strategy, Fang will not worry about being in prison!"

After Fang Fengshi returned with a smile, he bowed his hands to Qi Jiguang in return.

After all, Qi Jiguang is now the Duke of the state.

Liang Menglong said from the sidelines: "Now the focus is on the rampant Myanmar and Yi and the issue of whether or not to destroy their ancestral temples! It is urgent to discuss with the public."

On the second day after Zhu Yijun met Fang Fengshi, the names of Ting Tui and Hui Tui cabinet minister Jiuqing and others were also released.

Zhu Yijun chose to let Liu Yingjie and Wang Xijue join the cabinet.

Liu Yingjie was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, because according to the new regulations of the court made by Zhu Yijun, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials will be filled as a candidate for the cabinet when there is a vacancy, so as to ensure that there will be one of the vulgar officials who started from the state department to enter the cabinet.

Therefore, Liu Yingjie was eventually promoted by the court to Zhu Yijun's reserve list of several cabinet ministers.

Zhu Yijun chose Liu Yingjie because Liu Yingjie was the governor of Jiliao, and during his tenure as the governor of Jiliao, he made a lot of achievements in logistics and transportation. The method of transporting disaster relief food by rivers instead of workers, and using the transported disaster relief food instead of military rations, not only saves disaster relief but also saves a lot of transportation consumption, and consumes the remaining military rations that cannot last for a long time.

Zhu Yijun hopes that after Liu Yingjie enters the cabinet, he can continue to make up for it in terms of logistics.
