Wanli Youming

Chapter 101
Yin Zhengmao hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I should obey the king's order!"

Then, Yin Zhengmao said: "It's just that changing the land and returning it to the people is not the result of one dynasty, so I ask your majesty's quasi-minister to go to the southwest in the name of the governor's military affairs and appease and investigate the conflicts between Han and Yi, and then look for opportunities to take advantage of the conflicts between the chieftains. And use the contradiction between the cooked and the raw to determine the strategy of envy, as for the need for soldiers and horses, it should be determined after the ministers determine where to garrison and set up a stronghold."

Zhu Yijun knew that Yin Zhengmao was asking him for power, and he was also thinking about his future.

Yin Zhengmao hoped that the emperor would give him the power to govern the military affairs of the five provinces, and at the same time, on the grounds that reforming the land and returning it to the country was not an achievement of one dynasty, he wanted the emperor to know that if he was hindered by officials and censors, he would be impeached for corruption, perverting the law, and causing delays. Military planes, chaos in the Southwest, etc. I hope that the emperor can trust him, and he should also know that reforming the land and returning to the country will not be able to see the actual results as soon as the officials demanded, instead of rushing for quick results. After being impeached, the Yanguan condemned him.

And Zhu Yijun didn't give Yin Zhengmao a reassurance because of this, so he nodded and said: "I will send an order to the cabinet, ordering you to be the minister of the Ministry of War and the censor of the right capital, and the prime minister of the five provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Huguang. , also in charge of food, roads, civil affairs, salt administration, and recruiting matters. However, Ling Qing (Ling Yunyi) is now in charge of military affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi. "

As he said that, Zhu Yijun looked at Yin Zhengmao: "I will give you a silver seal of 'Emperor Ben Zhongliang', which will be used as a special performance for me in secret. You can directly use this silver seal for the situation of reforming the land and returning it to the exile." Play it exclusively for me, and don't worry about not being able to make me fully aware of Qing's difficulties in the place."

"This silver seal was originally only given to the husband who returned to his hometown. Now that I give it to you, it should also show that I attach great importance to reforming the land and returning to the people. Therefore, you don't have to worry about your great achievements being obliterated in the future."

After Zhu Yijun said that, he ordered Zhang Jing to remember to send the silver seal to Yin Zhengmao afterwards.

The so-called silver seal is actually equivalent to using a silver seal to seal the seal when the cover of the memorial is sealed, so that people can know whether the memorial has been opened or not.

When Yin Zhengmao saw that Zhu Yijun had given him the right to perform in secret, he immediately beamed with joy, and all the worries in his heart were swept away, leaving only the expectation that he would not be obliterated and be rewarded by the emperor for his great achievements in the future, so he immediately bowed his hands and said:
"The minister decided not to disgrace the entrustment of the holy will, but to make the southwest land reform a success!"

Zhu Yijun just nodded and smiled.

When Gao Gong saw that Yin Zhengmao got the right to play a secret concert, he was so elated, he just laughed, as if he looked down on Yin Zhengmao's promise, and said at this moment:

"Your Majesty, since you want to grant the right to the secret memorial, you can't just grant him Duke Yin. This duke is greedy for meritorious service, so be careful of his exaggeration in the secret memorial, and let Ling, Wu and other princes check and balance it."

Yin Zhengmao glanced at Gao Gong, and was about to reassure Zhu Yijun.

But Zhu Yijun had already nodded at this time, and said to Gao Gong: "I know, let's come here today."

After speaking, Zhu Yijun left the council.

Immediately after Zhu Yijun left, Yin Zhengmao prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed to the Prime Minister to see him off, then got up and glanced at Gao Gong, after thinking about it, he gave Gao Gong a bow, and then left without looking back.

Seeing that there was no one around him, Gao Gong waved his hand and wanted to call Yin Zhengmao to come back and talk about reforming the native land, but seeing that Yin Zhengmao had already left, he had no choice but to sit back and muttered:

"Even if Zhang Ju is in the cabinet, it's inconvenient for me to go to the cabinet; but why, Your Majesty doesn't know how to add more veterans to the cabinet!"

Here, Yin Zhengmao came directly to the Ministry of War after receiving the imperial decree to appoint him as the Prime Minister of the military affairs of the five provinces, and said with a sullen face, "Where is the minister of the Wuxuan Division? Come and see the hall immediately!"

As Yin Zhengmao said, he sat down behind the main hall outside the Yamen of the Ministry of War. As a senior official with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, he can naturally intervene directly in the affairs of the Ministry, so he can only sit directly in the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War sat down.

Not long after, Li Cai, the doctor of the Wuxuan Division, came over: "What orders does Yin Shaobao have?"

Yin Zhengmao revealed the imperial decree to the doctor, and said: "Give me the list of military officials with more than [-] households in the five provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Huguang before sunset today! The number of troops in the local guards will also be reported to me before sunset. !"

Li Cai, the doctor of Wuxuan Division, replied: "Reporting to Shaobao, this is really impossible."

Yin Zhengmao glanced at Li Cai after hearing this: "Is it impossible or do you want to delay for a while?"

Yin Zhengmao asked again: "Then I want to quickly see, which honest officials in the old department of the hall will be dismissed because they did not send you money? If there are really some old officials in the hall who were dismissed because they did not send money, you have to ask someone to tell them Affection?"

Then, Yin Zhengmao asked Li Cai again: "When Mr. Tan was here, you also said that it could not be done in one day, or that Yuanfu's test method was useless, and you yourself don't know who are the thousands of households in various places? "

After Li Cai was dismantled by Yin Zhengmao, he had no choice but to say: "Please be more accommodating!"

"How can you make Ben Shaobao accommodating!"

Sudden.

Yin Zhengmao slapped the desk hard, shouted at Li Cai, then waved his sleeves and said:

"This matter is not negotiable! The Ministry of War is different from other ministries. It is related to military affairs and must be ordered and prohibited. If you give it before sunset today, you must give it before sunset today! If you can't give it, you hang up your crown and leave. I don't want to miss it." Be the person in the military selection department!"

"In my opinion, it's because you have such a good temper these days, that you have the idea that Ben Shaobao will accommodate you."

Yin Zhengmao left here holding his belt while speaking.

Li Cai looked at Yin Zhengmao's leaving back, stood there without moving, and after a while, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

Yin Zhengmao smiled coldly, and then left the Ministry of War with a serious face.

As a member above the department hall level, in front of the emperor Zhu Yijun, he was reluctant and did not dare to show any hesitation, and in front of a first-rank official like Gao Gong, he could only act like an angry little daughter-in-law He didn't dare to express his grievances, but in front of the officials below, he would naturally put on airs and lose his temper.

Li Cai was the same, he didn't dare to say much in front of Yin Zhengmao, but as soon as he returned to the Wuxuan Division, he began to shout with a cold face: "Everyone stop what you are doing!"

The officials of the Wuxuan Division all shuddered.

When Zhang Juzheng left Beijing to meet the officials along the way, he would naturally appear aloof and make people feel afraid to get close, so as to let the officials know the new policy he promoted, which cannot be questioned.

When giving lectures in front of Huguang local officials such as Chen Rui, the governor of Huguang, Xu Xuemo, the censor of Fuzhi Yunxiang, and other Huguang local officials, Zhang Juzheng was even more different from explaining carefully in front of the emperor, but only said:

"I don't want to hear the reason, and I don't want to hear what difficulties you have. As long as Huguang Qingzhang is more thorough and faster than other places!"

"There are so many clans in Huguang, so it's not easy to be clear. Is this a problem? Can there be as many clans in Huguang as there are clans in Henan? So these are not reasons!"

Chen Rui, Xu Xuemo and others were all silent and didn't say much.

And Zhang Juzheng was very satisfied when he saw that none of the officials from Huguang, such as Chen Rui, dared to say anything, but he only showed a disturbed expression on the boat back to Jiangling, and asked Zhang Jingxiu: "Is there any news from the capital that your Majesty has done recently?" what?"

"Back to father, according to the official commentary on daily life, His Majesty met with Taifu Gao, and after meeting with Taifu Gao, he asked Prime Minister Yin Shaobao to take care of the military affairs of the five provinces."

Zhang Jingxiu replied.

Zhang Juzheng trembled slightly after hearing this, and thought: "Are you going to forget me so soon?"
