Troubled Times Survival Raiders

On September 27th, after [-] days of being suspended, Emperor Jianning's coffin was finally buried in the imperial mausoleum he ordered to build, and Wu Junyi personally named the imperial mausoleum Qianling.

The past has been decided, and Qin Tianjian quickly chose the auspicious day of September 22.Wu Junyi formally ascended the throne as the prince and changed Yuan Mingxuan.The following year was the first year of Ming Xuan.

The succession of the new king is a new look.

Generally speaking, when it is still under the title of the first emperor, theoretically, when he is still the first emperor, the new emperor will restrain his hands and restrain himself, at least wait until the new year, when his wings are full, before he will start to show his hands and feet.

But their Ming Xuan Emperor was obviously different from ordinary people.After the new succession, there are three fires, one of which is more prosperous than the other.

With the matter of choosing a posthumous name first, when the official of ceremonies drafted the year name, he specially asked the servant to pass on a sentence, if His Majesty is not satisfied, he can draw it himself.Sure enough, Wu Junyi swiped his pen and wrote the word Mingxuan.

No one dared to object.Year titles and posthumous titles are not the same, they are both auspicious characters anyway, His Majesty can choose whichever one he likes, and taboos are not so strict.

Immediately afterwards, in the name of keeping filial piety for the late emperor and prohibiting entertainment, this man disbanded the academy and drove away dozens of servants.

To be honest, most of the courtiers were very pleased with this incident, after all, they were also dissatisfied that these people had occupied the Hall of Martial Arts for a long time.But what happened next left most people with lingering fears:

With the force of thunder, Wu Junyi dismissed several old and useless ministers in succession, and each of them had impeachment memorials as evidence, bribery, corruption, and neglect of human lives.

The courtiers wrote a letter to speak for them, but they didn't dare to excuse them. They could only follow the opportunity of the new king's enthronement and ask for forgiveness.

Wu Junyi didn't do anything wrong.He did exonerate these people as commoners, but that was all.Those who committed the most heinous crimes were handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for disposal, and most of the rest were not pursued, and the original treatment of becoming an official was retained.

These people were frightened by his front hand, and they were very grateful to hear that they could still save the evening festival.Some of them had a handle and hadn't been named and dealt with, and they also petitioned to be appointed. For a while, the number of veteran officials was greatly reduced.

Among these people, there are many under Jia Shengde.

Jia Shengde was naturally dissatisfied, but it was a pity that the new emperor could not be manipulated at first glance, and his subordinates had indeed committed crimes, so it seemed that he was ignorant when he asked the emperor.

Jia Shengde could only put on a gloomy face, and said: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and a young man is still ignorant, so why bother? Let's see, next year will be ten years since the signing of the treaty, and Nanliang and Daiguo will send people here , let me see how he will handle the army!"

Wu Junyi didn't know what Jia Shengde said about him behind his back, so he could make a guess.But he didn't have time to talk to him at all, he still had a lot to do.

During the Jianning period, because the emperor was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, he did not care about the government, and the courtiers rarely saw the emperor.

Wu Junyi is still young and powerful, and he doesn't intend to pretend to be someone else.He ordered to encourage officials to impeach, and ordered the censor to supervise the words and deeds of all officials. If there is any discrepancy, they can directly report to the next level.

Of course, there must be evidence.

Since he succeeded to the throne and moved to the Qianqing Palace, all memorials were corrected in the Wenhua Palace or brought back to the Qianqing Palace, but they were not allowed to go out of the palace.The servant was also warned by him, not daring to peek into government affairs.

The official cannot be convicted for his words, and the memorial is sent directly to the emperor, which is simply a huge temptation!Think about it, the impeachment failed, and no one knew that there was no way to retaliate, but if it succeeded, it would be a great event that will be remembered in history!

All of a sudden, impeachment papers came up one after another, saying everything, and targeting high-ranking officials.

But beyond Wu Junyi's expectation, the impeachment of Jia Shengde is not too many.

But he was relieved quickly.Jia Shengde has controlled the government for many years, and the tree has deep roots. It is still difficult for him to convince those disgruntled officials for a while.What's more, after many purges, the main fighters who can still stay in the court are naturally deep in the city and will not act rashly.

It's a pity that Jia Shengde's remaining prestige is still there, and it may be difficult to recall those officials who were expelled before.

But that's okay.To eradicate this big tree, he needs enough patience.

When Wu Junyi was in charge of the country earlier, he ordered Song Cangshan to supervise the forging of farm tools.Now there is another good seed planted in Huangzhuang a year ago, and the harvest is very good. Wu Junyi is overjoyed and ordered people to spread the good seed and improved farm tools to the people.

He sent inspection censors to explain the usage to state and county chief officials.The most important thing in the assessment of these foreign officials every year is the food production and taxation.So they didn't dare to take it lightly, and found a well-known local blacksmith to make farm tools.Personally take people to publicity, and supervise farmers to replace seeds and farm tools.Some governments even paid for it out of their own pockets.

On the other hand, Wu Junyi strictly kept his promise to keep his filial piety for three years.After he lived in the Qianqing Palace, he transferred most of the maids to other palaces, leaving only a few to arrange his clothes and attend to flowers and plants.

In addition, all his dragon robes are specially made, only the dragon pattern is secretly embroidered on the black robe, and the rest of the accessories are made of white jade or silver.The three meals are reduced, and only vegetarian food is used.Not long after this went on, Wu Junyi lost weight.

But he insisted on not drinking meat or drinking, which greatly disappointed the officials who were eager to try to impeach him.

The courtiers all knew that this master was different from the former emperor, and he could not be easily dealt with. As officials, they should change their code of conduct.

However, the tough Wu Junyi also had a lot of troubles.

Officials were dismissed one after another, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials couldn't sit still.The low-level vacancies can be filled by newly selected Jinshi, but many of the vacant official positions are important positions, and these must be seen by the emperor, and they have no control over the officials.

Wu Junyi slowly ordered: "Let the courtiers recommend first, and then bring the list for me to choose."

After going back and forth, the Ministry of Officials tried to speed up as much as possible, and resubmitted the list after two days.

In the Ministry of Rites, Guo Xu replaced the old man as Shangshu.

This is nothing, basically everyone's unanimous opinion.Wu Junyi was still thinking about Deng Xian staying at his house that day, and after asking a few words about this person's life, he happily approved it.

Those who can make Deng Xian work with him are at least not some corrupt officials.

The Ministry of Officials is more complicated, because it is the main battlefield of impeachment, and one of the two Langs fell.Yan Xiangxi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, is Jia Shengde's in-laws, both of them are veteran ministers standing tall, holding the Ministry of Officials in the palm of their hands, they cannot easily push people in.

Wu Junyi looked at the selected person first, but was very dissatisfied: this person was not from the Yan family, but Wu Junyi wrote down the relationship between the court and China, and at a glance, he knew that this person was the protégé of Jia Shengde's nephew, and he was marked with the Yan family's logo.

Among the substitutes, there were a few names that Wu Junyi had an impression of, and they all passed by.

Finally, Wu Junyi's eyes fell on a name: Zhang Min, the chief examiner of the Beijing City and Countryside Examination last year.Wu Junyi had the impression that the examiners for the provincial and township examinations were appointed by the emperor himself. Last year, Emperor Jianning fell ill, so the prince who supervised the country was in charge.

Zhang Min can be regarded as a centrist. His tutors and house tutors include people from the prime minister and Zhou Kuang, and they have outstanding talents and learning. He is a candidate who can block the mouths of the two factions.

It's a pity that he was outstanding in poetry and prose, and because of this, he was promoted, which caused controversy between the court and China.If it wasn't for his fame, he would have been directly welcomed to the Hall of Martial Arts by Emperor Jianning.

Balancing the two, Wu Junyi pointed at him, "Master of the Ministry of Officials, let him be."

Li Qi kowtowed, "Cha."

"How is Feng Yuandao, the former governor of Xiangzhou?"

Wu Junyi suddenly thought of a useful person.In Xiangzhou that day, he saw Feng Yuandao's methods with his own eyes, and he had a good impression of this lord.

Li Qi thought for a while, then recalled: "Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Feng was demoted to Sichuan four years ago because of his misbehavior."

Hearing the word "misbehaving", Wu Junyi clicked his tongue lightly. "Next year, he will be transferred to Beijing to go to the Ministry of War." Wu Junyi knew that Deng Xian alone was not enough.Feng Yuandao has ideas and means, and he has experienced in the local area, so he is suitable to be Deng Xian's deputy.

Li Qi asked again: "What about the servant of the official department?"

waiter...

"Mr. Zhou please come."

Zhou Kuang has been in charge of the affairs of the East Palace since his recovery, and has no real power except for the title of Prince and Grand Master.This is also related to the situation between North Korea and China, and the lack of high enough vacancies.

When Wu Junyi succeeded to the throne, he promoted Jia Shengde to Taifu and Zhou Kuang to Taishi.Now, he felt that it was time to invite his teacher out of the mountain.

Once Jia Shengde falls, he needs someone to replace him.

"What?" Li Qi was taken aback, and immediately kowtowed, "Yes, the servant lost his composure just now."

Wu Junyi didn't speak, but looked at him meaningfully for a while. "Let's get here first today."

As for the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry, there weren't too many people staring at them, and the chief officer didn't find a big mistake, and there were no vacancies.Wu Junyi ordered to read the laws and regulations, and Wang Jingxiu, who had been the magistrate for several years, went to the Ministry of Punishment, and the rest were appointed according to the list of nominations.

Wu Junyi raised his right hand and rubbed his index finger and thumb together.

Still waiting for the examination next year, he thought, he would personally select a group of people for his use.He believed that Shen Yu would not disappoint him.

Under such circumstances, the arrival of the first year of Ming Xuan is of great significance to many people.

Shen Yu was not affected by the situation between North Korea and China, but concentrated on studying hard and preparing for the exam.

Ordinarily, the times were in his favour: his teacher Zhou Kuang was the new emperor's teacher, with a high position and authority, and he was also the examiner of the new subject examination; the room teacher who won him, Mr. Zhang, got a new job as a doctor in the official department. When the spring breeze is in full swing, promoting a student is naturally a matter of course.

But Shen Yu didn't think about it.

He knows the promotion of fine seeds, and the joy in his heart is far greater than others.In addition, there is also a passion: one day, can he, like a teacher, change this country?

He knew that Xinjun had a good reputation among the people, and his reputation had surpassed that of his father in a few months.Although Zhou Kuang is strict, he occasionally appreciates it.There is also an impulse in Shen Yu's heart: he has long wanted to do something for those suffering people and struggling farmers.

And the premise of these is that he can pass the Jinshi examination, and the higher the ranking, the better.Only in this way can he put aside those remarks about relationships and let the teacher read his articles openly.

On February [-], the moment to decide his fate arrived.
