Chapter 739(1/2)
One month after the new emperor ascended the throne.
The year number is changed to Zhengde, and the old silver must be redeemed as Zhengde Tongbao.
The court gave the people one year to replace coins and treasure coins in various places. Baoyuan Bureau minted a new batch of banknotes and copper coins, and exchanged coins at Hongzhi Store.
The Tongzheng Department sent the decree to the fifteenth road of the two capitals.
...
Sichuan, Qingcheng Mountain.
During the day, Lan Tingrui picked up an ancient coin and a bronze sword in the mountains. When he returned to the village, he was overjoyed.
At night, he gathered strong men from all over the countryside and gathered at home.
"I came back from the capital, guess what I saw?"
The strong men blinked and looked at Lan Tingrui for no reason. The mountains were steep and could not be cultivated, and the village was remote and not in the urban area. People in the village had never seen the world.
Lan Tingrui said: "I saw that the capital city has enough food and clothing, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. They can eat pork in winter and watermelon in summer. They can have ten silver patterns in one day."
When the strong men heard the pork, their Adam's apple rolled clearly.
Hearing that he was very silly, he couldn't help but sit up and stare at Lan Tingrui.
"If we were born in the capital, we could enjoy the waiting treatment. However, the imperial court implemented the Lijia system and were only allowed to go out for business and not enter the Yellow Book.
We are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, so why are others rich but we are poor?
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is rumored that Zhu Houzhao is a stubborn person and is more foolish and cruel than the old emperor."
An old man looked at Lan Tingrui and sighed, "But what can we do?"
Lan Tingrui took out the ancient seal and the bronze sword: "Why would a king, prince, general, and minister? Zhu Chongba was born in a commoner, but he could establish the BenQ.
We can also start a business here, take advantage of the times, hold the ambition to help the world and the people, fight with swords, and follow the will of heaven!"
After saying that, he raised the copper coins and ancient swords.
The strong men were thrilled when they saw the ancient seal and the ancient sword.
If their ancestors started their business with Zhu Chongba, they would not have been so miserable today.
Now, Lan Tingrui has received the will of God, and he is the next Zhu Chongba!
"Would you rather be a king and a general? We should be a king and a prince!"
For several days, Lan Tingrui lobbied dozens of villages around him, and all of them called me to be a prince when I wanted to be a prince!
Seven days later, the rebel army occupied the Hanzhong Yamen, attracting Yan Benshu and Liao Hui to join us, and their power quickly expanded to 80,000 people.
...
Beijing,
Zhu Houzhao was lazy and neglected his duties, and always beg for the right time and went to court very quickly. The Supreme Emperor almost wanted to depose Zhu Houzhao's throne.
"I think he is doing this."
Liu Jian said bitterly: "The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty is reading the report too fast, I may have any mistakes."
"Your Majesty is prosperous in the spring and autumn, why should you live in the harem?" Jiang Mian bowed.
The masters were given a deposit one hour later than before, and they had quite complaints.
"From tomorrow, I will go to court."
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was worried that Zhu Houzhao would read the memorial like this.
Early in the morning, morning court.
The Supreme Emperor sat upright on the imperial throne, and below was Zhu Houzhao's position.
All the officials bowed slightly.
Liu Jianxian reported: "The Xuanfu reported that the military stationed and civilians were not transported, and the annual regulations were cut and reduced, and the border storage warehouse was in a hurry.
Since the Tatars returned to the Ming Dynasty, many Tatar refugees went to the border of the Ming Dynasty and asked to send relief grain and cloth."
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath.
Wang Qiong was puzzled: "There are many military farms on the border, how could it be so urgent?
I believe that the governors of this sect went north and checked military horses and warehouse goods every month to prevent the illegitimate fraud of false reporting and fraud."
The ministers looked at the Supreme Emperor one after another.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao spoke: "In the past, using Kaizhong Salt Guidance, let merchants transport grain to Jiubian, and the merchant grain plus military camps could only be enough to pay military pay.
Now that the commercial grain is gone, how can it be enough to rely on military garrisons alone?
In addition, the military salary of the soldiers was four cents higher than before, and the military salary of the nine sides was nearly twice as high.
There is no need to investigate, no one will steal the money, because Jiubian spends too much."
Supreme Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth. How could he make decisions on major affairs in the court so easily?
Jiang Mian was stunned, and the new emperor knew the cost of the nine sides.
Their faces were different.
However, they still obeyed the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi. The new emperor was a political observer and he would have been in power for several years.
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment and looked at Yan Chengjin: "The Nine Border Censor's Office will conduct a thorough investigation first. The empty border storage is true, and then send grain to the north."
"I obey the order."
Yan Chengjin thought secretly that he should open up the ranch in the north.
There are dairy cows in Liangxiang, and all the Tatars can be hired as laborers to develop animal husbandry in the north.
After the court discussion, Zhu Houzhao said to Yan Chengjin: "Father is in court, and I have changed back to my palace."
The ministers in the court did not listen to him and still regarded him as the crown prince.
"Your Majesty has nothing to do, so I will go back to the Censorate."
Yan Chengjin knew that this guy had been trying to make the Supreme Emperor depose him recently, or he could build an elephant house.
"I don't want to be the emperor. The masters don't listen to me. Lao Gao, how do you think my people who have enabled you to fight against the masters?"
Yan Chengjin quickly blocked the guy's mouth: "It's a man from the court, Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense."
"You guy, you obviously can't think so. I'm just telling it for you."
Zhu Houzhao knew that if Song Jing and Wang Shouren were important officials, no one would take care of him when he went to Liangxiang every day.
But now, he hasn't climbed the palace wall for two months.
Ministry of War.
Zhang Fuhua took off his official hat and put it aside.
Suddenly, the clerk rushed in with a rush to the sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Mr. Zhang, Sichuan Prefecture sends a reply urgently."
If today is calm, where can I go if I’m anxious?
Zhang Fuhua took a sip of tea before turning on the memorial song, almost choking him to death.
Two months after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, someone rebelled in the southwest!
He read every word carefully and looked solemn:
The rebels in the southwestern region raised their troops, Lan Tingrui was called Shun Tianwang, Yan Benshu was called the King of Scraping the Earth, Liao Hui was called the King of Scraping the Earth, and stationed more than 100,000 troops. They occupied the government and civilian fields in Hanzhong, northeastern and western Hubei...
"Did there be any memorials from the Administrative Office and the Censorate?"
"have!"
The rebel army stationed 100,000 troops, and had occupied Shu and was preparing to enter Huguang.
It is more serious than the rise of King Anhua.
"You go to the cabinet to invite the Dukes to Fengtian Palace, and I will go to meet the Supreme Emperor."
Zhang Fuhua picked up his official hat and strode towards Fengtian Palace.
Dali Temple Valuation Room.
The civil servant hurried in and said to Han Fu: "Mr. Han, the Ministry of War has just sent a memorial, and 100,000 people in Sichuan rebelled. The Supreme Emperor summoned the Nine Ministers to Fengtian Palace to discuss matters."
Han Fu lowered his eyebrows slightly and looked at Shaoqing Gu Zuo thinking: "One hundred thousand people rebelled is not a joke."
"Are the temple ministers afraid that the court will re-use Yan Kesong to go to war?"
Han Fu nodded.
Yan Kesong is the master of the new emperor, and was originally recommended by the new emperor to go to the three sides.
And he is strict and relaxed and experienced many battles, and is most suitable for going to the battle.
"I finally got rid of this person. If I let him take office again, I'm afraid the court will be in peace."
