Chapter 20 The Truth

How important is Yu Qian?

Even ordinary people in future generations will know.

However, Zhu Qizhen has been here for a month or two, and he understands one thing. The image of many characters passed down to later generations is actually very different from his true face.

Even so, Zhu Qizhen also included Yu Qian in the list of candidates for bachelor's degree. It may be useless now. In the future, when San Yang gets old and takes over as Minister San Yang, he will be selected from this list.

Of course Li Shimian is also among them.

Yu Qian was born in the 31st year of Hongwu and was a Jinshi in the 19th year of Yongle. He is now only over 30 years old. He is in the prime of life and is already a governor of a place.

Of course, the governors of this era were originally designed, and there are still some differences from the governors of later generations.

In terms of supervision, it is more the dispatched officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate rather than local officials.

Even so, at the age of thirty-seven, he is a senior official at the provincial and ministerial level. In any case, he is still young.

Zhu Qizhen also thought about adjusting Yu Qian, but he thought about it and let it go. Sometimes it may not be a good thing to encourage others, but Sanyang is still trustworthy.

Whatever merits Yu Qian has, it is difficult to be overshadowed.

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen's current power is all under the guise of the power of the Empress Dowager.

He knows this very well.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen promoted Yu Qian without authorization, which may not be a good thing for Qian. It is not too late to wait until he takes charge.

However, even so, Zhu Qizhen was particularly concerned about Qian.

"My grandson," the Empress Dowager said, "I have a case to tell you now."

Zhu Qizhen immediately came to his senses and said, "Grandma, please tell me."

The Empress Dowager noticed that Zhu Qizhen was distracted, but did not delve deeper. In his opinion, Zhu Qizhen was a child after all, and even adults may not be able to understand many of these things.

The Queen Mother said to Wang Zhen: "Bring Lu Zheng's case file."

Wang Zhen immediately said: "Yes."

Wang Zhen came back within a short while and presented a volume of documents in his hand, which was the so-called Lu Zheng case file.

Zhu Qizhen first looked at the documents in Lu Zheng's case file, which were from the Ministry of War. Then he looked at Lu Zheng's resume and knew that he was the second generation of Jingnan heroes. Of course, his ancestors did not have any great achievements.

Looking at the following content, it is that when Lu Zheng was serving as the commander of Shanxi Province, dozens of Tatars came to surrender, and Lu Zheng wanted to kill them to repay the military merit.

When it was reviewed by the Ministry of War, it was said that he had to be executed because there was a woman among the heads.

Zhu Qizhen has read the following confession documents and descriptions of various exhibits. Among them, seven of the dozen heads reported to Lu Zheng were described in detail, pointing out from all aspects that they were women's heads.

Of course, although Zhu Qizhen couldn't understand it, it looked like solid evidence.

The Queen Mother said: "I've finished reading."

Zhu Qizhen said: "I've finished reading."

The Queen Mother said: "You can see something."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and said: "This Lu Zheng should not be unjustly accused. Even if he is not killed and surrendered, it is inevitable to falsely claim military merit."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "I just see this."

Zhu Qizhen didn't quite understand for a while.

The Empress Dowager said: "People say that the emperor manages everything every day and knows every detail, but only Emperor Taizu can manage everything every day. After Taizu, no one can do it."

"I must let my subordinates share the burden."

"The things the emperor has to deal with every day are limited. Do you think that a dozen heads have been stolen and a governor is involved? Why should I want you to see such a thing?"

"There is a natural process for such things, why should I show it to you?"

"Of course, in the future you will have to think about why the people below want to show you this?"

Zhu Qizhen thought secretly in his heart. The governor's affairs may not seem big, but they are not small either. But as the Empress Dowager said, there are Zhang Fu, San Yang, and Hu Hu in the cabinet. They are all veterans. Such a thing,

It has long been a practice.

Why should I report it in particular?

Do they have disagreements?

When Zhu Qizhen thought of this, he went through the documents again. The first thing he determined was the Ministry of War.

This case was initiated by the Ministry of War.

Speaking of soldiers and horses in various places, they are also under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Palace. Now, although the Ministry of War is getting stronger, it has been infringing on the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Palace.

Apart from anything else, this time Sanyang wanted to rectify the military forces in various places, which was led by the Ministry of War and jointly handled by the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Metropolitan Inspectorate.

Under the offensive of the Ministry of War, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion gradually transformed into a pension institution.

Could it be a conflict of authority between the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Ministry of War?

Or maybe Lu Zheng is a descendant of Jingnan, he has a backing, and his backing is probably Zhang Fu?

The Ministry of War has already arrested and imprisoned people. Zhang Fu thinks it's too serious?

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and told the Empress Dowager exactly what he thought?

The Empress Dowager did not say that she was right or wrong. Instead, she said: "So when you report this case, you need to know three truths. The first truth is the truth about this case. The second truth is why this case is happening."

If the case can be reported, the third level is the truth you want."

"You should investigate this matter yourself."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Is this how your grandson checks?"

The Empress Dowager said: "Commander Shen of the Jinyi Guards can be regarded as a hero of Jingnan, but he can't do these delicate jobs. I have transferred him to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. You can find someone to take over as Commander of the Jinyi Guards."

Zhu Qizhen said: "How about Shi Jing?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "Shi Jing is a good kid. Although there are no regulations restricting consorts in our court, this has been the practice throughout the ages. If you are willing to promote him, just allow him to lead the army in the future. Don't hand over the Jin Yiwei to him.

I'm afraid he can't fight those old foxes."

"Instead, it hurt him."

Zhu Qizhen understood that it would be okay if the Jinyiwei did not do anything. As long as he did things, the Jinyiwei commander would not end well, but what was the use of the Jinyiwei commander who did not do anything?

According to the information Zhu Qizhen found out about Shi Jing from Wang Zhen, he was a capable general. He practiced martial arts since he was a child and spent more than a dozen winters and summers without stopping. He was also proficient in writing. Although he could not be said to be both civil and military, he was capable of leading troops in battles.

Already.

It's hard to say whether he can serve as a general in the future. But as a Qianhu or a commander, it is enough.

It’s just that I’m still young and need training.

Zhu Qizhen said: "My grandson understands." Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, he asked: "Grandma, why don't you tell me about the Wazi incident?"

The Queen Mother frowned and glanced at Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen suddenly felt cold all over his body.

The Empress Dowager said: "My grandson, there are some things I shouldn't have said, but I have to warn you. Emperor Taizong made five expeditions to Mobei in order to purge Hu Chen, but what was the result?"

"The treasury of the world is empty, and the people are tired of transportation. The people of the world are already suffering enough, but they still have to raise unknown troops to seize the barren land. People die and the government disappears, and on the grassland, one is rising and the other is declining. There is nothing.

termination."

"Emperor Taizong was wise throughout his life, but this was a big mistake."

"Wang Zhen and others are often in the palace. They only see the might of the army, but not the people's wealth. Now that my father has just left, the world is full of hidden dangers. Within two months, I have adjusted the Five Army Governor's Mansion several times and rewarded three times. What is the purpose of this?

?”

"I can't control what happens in the future. But as long as I'm here, don't talk about the grassland."

Zhu Qizhen said quickly: "Grandma, please calm down. My grandson is self-aware. He will definitely not have such wild thoughts. It's just that Beilu is the enemy of our dynasty. How can our grandson turn a blind eye? We must understand clearly."

"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face softened slightly and said, "Didn't Jin Yiwei give it to you? You can go and check it yourself."

The Empress Dowager sometimes felt helpless. Her grandson seemed obedient, but he was very independent. Sometimes she didn't know which direction he could lead the Ming Dynasty.

For the emperor, not being smart is not good, but being too smart is also worrying.

Many big mistakes can only be made by smart people.

It is said that those who are wise enough to refuse advice and those who speak enough to cover up their mistakes are this kind of people.

This incident was over like this. Zhu Qizhen never mentioned the thorn incident. After having lunch in Cining Palace, he stayed in Cining Palace for another afternoon. It was almost dark before he returned to work.

In the Qing Palace.
