Chapter 180: Let your hero die well (Part 1)
Zhang Youzhi was a military adviser and drafting an order, which was a very simple thing for him. Wang Hongyi ordered him to lay out the paper, lift the pen, and brush it, almost in one go. A decree was written and let Wang Hongyi read it.
"Not bad, use printing!"
A large seal with the words "Shu Gongbao" was pressed on it.
It is a question of who to send to promulgate the imperial edict. At this time, when the preparations for the King's Divine Palace were busy, the people in the Secret Palace were naturally very active.
Wang Hongyi thought for a moment and thought of a candidate. This person had just been mentioned by Zhang Youzhi at the morning meeting and was about to be transferred to Xishu to be the county magistrate. This time he was sent to Xishu to pass the imperial edict, which was considered as an inquiry in advance.
Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi said: "Let Liu Changqing, the eighth-rank official of the Secret Wen Pavilion, meet with him."
Zhang Youzhi retreated and went to the arranged place to rest.
Besides, Liu Changqing was a scholar from Shu. He had learned martial arts since childhood and read military books. He could be considered as both civil and military.
It was originally unsuccessful, but after Wang Hongyi became a powerful force, he was promoted from the talent recommendations. Wang Hongyi was regarded as a kind of kindness to promote him. After entering the Secret Palace, he also worked diligently.
This time he was recommended by Zhang Youzhi as the county magistrate. Wang Hongyi felt that there are some things that are suitable for training this person now. If he trains properly, he may become a capable minister in the future.
When Wang Hongyi sent someone to find him, Liu Changqing was handing over the temporary office of the Secret Palace.
At this time, it was almost noon. In fact, there were only five rooms in the Secret Palace, located on the west side of the hall. There were large cabinets inlaid with copper leaves everywhere, and documents were stored inside.
The middle is densely packed with tables and tables. The tables are of different sizes and specifications according to the grades, and are filled with folds and papers. The room is filled with ink fragrance. Except, there is no luxury at all. Only the self-ringing bell imported from the Western Qin Dynasty is considered valuable.
Unlike a simple office space, from here to the outer city, passing by five gates and three roads, there are guards along the way, standing like nails.
According to the rules, only by carrying silver medals with you can enter. Of course, only silver medals cannot be used.
"This is the place of prime minister!" Liu Changqing was sorting out his documents, reluctant to leave. Several colleagues understood his feelings very much and did not urge him.
According to the rules, Liu Changqing can stay for noon and have dinner together at noon, and must leave in the afternoon.
As Liu Changqing's identity, he could not attend the morning meeting, but he had heard of Zhang Youzhi's recommendation.
How many people who are young and have ambitions don’t want to make achievements? How many people don’t want to do something to add color to their ancestors and make future generations glorious?
Liu Changqing was naturally very grateful to Zhang Youzhi, but leaving the Sewen Pavilion still made him feel moved!
As time goes by, the Secret Palace gradually formed rules, and the people who entered the ninth grade were learning military aircraft, and they usually released them when they reached the eighth grade.
And this opportunity is also rare. In the future, Hanlin Academy will be opened, and ordinary newcomers can only study and exercise in it.
Behind the Hanlin Courtyard, Zhaowen Hall, Chongzheng Hall and Zizheng Hall were also set up.
Chongzheng Hall is a Scripture-school official who specializes in reading scriptures to the emperor.
Zhaowen Palace is the place where the national history is supervised.
Zizheng Hall is actually the candidate for the Secret Palace now, and it will be difficult for ordinary people to enter the center in the future. This is also the principle of prevention and rules.
In fact, Wang Hongyi remembered someone's servant room.
The attendant room is the same as the current Secret House, and is the core of the ruling institution for cultivating credentials.
However, this cultivation method often allows people to bypass the numerous systems and reach the core as long as they seize the opportunity. Needless to say, the damage caused is caused.
Therefore, it was useful to cultivate the "direct line" in the early days. Now the official system is strict and its value is not high. The rule of newcomers entering the Sewen Pavilion can be abolished. In the future, this place will not be allowed to be accumulated for decades of official positions and inspections.
This basically cuts off future troubles.
Liu Changqing naturally understood this point and knew that it would be difficult for newcomers to enter here in the future. Even if he wanted to enter again, he would have to accumulate officials for more than ten years.
While sorting out documents, an eunuch came in and shouted, "Can Mr. Liu be here?"
Everyone else looked up and looked in shock.
Liu Changqing quickly put the documents aside, stood up, and bowed to the people: "The official is Liu Changqing."
"Mr. Liu, Duke of the State announced that you will go to see you, so you can go with me!"
When he heard that it was the lord Xuan who saw it, Liu Changqing did not dare to neglect it. He explained a few words to his colleagues, followed the eunuch and hurriedly walked backwards.
Wang Hongyi's study was not far from here. At this time, there was almost no one in front of the empty corridor.
The thick raindrops fell, and the lake was densely filled with water. There were obviously more guards along the way, standing upright. Liu Changqing, who was a little nervous, saw sweat faintly on his forehead.
"It's this place. Please wait here for a while. I will go in and report to the Duke." The inner servant said sharply.
"Report to the Lord, Lord Liu has been brought here by his servant."
"Let him come in." Wang Hongyi reviewed the memorial without even raising his head.
"Yes, Lord." After receiving Wang Hongyi's order, the eunuch turned around and asked Liu Changqing to come in.
Liu Changqing took a deep breath, tidied up his clothes, entered the study room, and the eunuch closed the door from outside and retreated ten meters away.
The study room is elegantly decorated with not much furniture, only a desk, a seat, a bookshelves, and an incense burner and a basin of ice cubes that are lit in the distance.
Although it was hot outside, when I entered the study, I felt the cool breeze coming, which was very refreshing.
"My minister Liu Changqing, I have seen his lord." He didn't dare to look directly at the person sitting behind the desk. When Liu Changqing saw him, he knelt down respectfully and saluted.
"Get up!" Wang Hongyi took out another one and said something, but ignored it.
"Thank you, lord." Liu Changqing stood up, stood with his head down, glanced at Wang Hongyi who was reading the letter at his desk, and did not dare to read it anymore, and waited quietly.
After a while, after finishing a copy, Wang Hongyi looked at the man.
This is a young man under thirty years old, with square face and thin eyebrows, with horoscopes and beards, standing steadily in an eighth-rank official robe, with white luck and red destiny on his top.
Looking at the man, Wang Hongyi smiled and said, "Have you heard what Zhang Qing said in the hall?"
"You have heard of the lord."
"You have been in the Miwen Pavilion for a year and a half. You have some impression of you. You know that you are a diligent person. Such a person is exactly what the orphan needs." Wang Hongyi said calmly.
Hearing the lord say this, Liu Changqing leaned down and said, "Lord is a lord who is just doing his duty and dare not be praised by the lord."
Without paying much attention to this, Wang Hongyi stared at him and continued, "Is it okay to be a county magistrate in Western Shu?"
"I am willing." Liu Changqing replied seriously.
"Aren't you afraid of the tough people there?"
"I don't think I'm afraid."
"Okay!" Wang Hongyi nodded with satisfaction and handed him a Yu Ling: "Before you go to Western Shu to serve as the county magistrate, I will send you a task first and submit this Yu Ling to the Pingman General Ding Huchen. Go to his place to pronounce Yu Ling, are you willing?"
"I will never refuse to die." Liu Changqing said.
"No need to die. Xiyizhou has been cleaned up most of the time and it is already peaceful. However, it is naturally very heavy to restore people's livelihood and rebuild counties. You can go there to understand the people's conditions and hone your experience, which will be of some use to you in the future."
"In addition to Yu Ling, there is also a secret letter. You must rush to travel day and night, and sleep in the open air. However, before you take office, I have prepared a vehicle, attendant, and deputy envoy for you. You will set off later!"
This secret letter was handed over to Ding Huchen. Wang Hongyi believed that officials could be vague to show mystery, but the way of the king was to keep the heavenly constitution in his mouth, and every word was a law.
The way of showing the law with force is the king, so the laws he issued are simple and clear, and it is not easy to say a word. Of course, he does not hesitate to deal with violators.
The content of the secret letter is very simple, which is a direct metaphor for Ding Huchen: "The teacher can lose it, but the general cannot lose it. The heroes of the Eight Banners will have a good end!"
It means that people from the upper three flags consumed it. This is a policy, but the middle and upper classes, especially the upper classes, must not lose money. These "heroes" must basically go back safely, and Wang Hongyi will be promoted to these people.
In fact, it is just a tenth consumed. Just recall the additional officers. Compared with history, the previous one is exactly the same, but the result is different.
In general, politics and history, once the military power of such people is eliminated, they are often imprisoned and executed. In Wang Hongyi's view, this is a typical short-sightedness.
Is the country still stingy with this little bit of pride?
With the lessons learned from the past, who is not afraid?
The truth is the same. If you have to rely on and cooperate, you will be self-respecting whenever you have the opportunity. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, no barrier will be like this, and the people will be raised.
The core of this Eight Banner system actually has two cores. The first is to use barbarians to destroy barbarians to fight a civil war. One person will die, and one less. Even if the Eight Banners win, only half or even one-third of their clans will be left, and there will be no chance of turning the world. Using minorities to drive this method can still win the world. If a large ethnic group drives minorities, there will be no future troubles.
The second is a good ending.
There are only one name for the country, and a few new counties can be rewarded with the whole country. Why bother with everyone?
If the Eight Banners are all eliminated, in fact, there will be no threat to the country. Then all high-ranking officials will be generous and their descendants will reproduce. Only when future foreign heroes can they see that they will serve the court without fear of no good results, and they will have no worries.
It is ridiculous to burn bridges across the river.
"I obey the order." Liu Changqing thanked him and stepped down.
Half a day later, a carriage, under the protection of all the attendants, left Xiangyang City, first took the water route, passed through East Shu, and rushed to the West Shu.
He quickly rushed and arrived at the capital of General Pingman twenty days later. Ding Huchen was ordered to receive the order, read the secret letter and understood the lord's meaning.
The decree has been read out, and Ding Huchen also understood the lord's meaning.
After Liu Changqing read it, he was no longer an envoy and became a county magistrate. Ding Huchen said to the hundreds of households in the army: "Please report back to the lord, I understand the lord's meaning."
