Chapter 17 Foresight

Strictly speaking, the two ministers would not be so nervous if they died, but these two ministers were a little different. The two shone brightly in this battle to defend the capital, and the final battle completely defeated Jiannu, forcing Jiannu to withdraw from the pass. It is not an exaggeration to describe the achievements of these two people with great force.

One of these two people is regarded as a benchmark for martial arts by everyone, and the other is the future star of the eunuch world. The sudden death of the two will certainly cause a huge response. First, the military generals and ministers, several military generals who are close to Zhou Shixiong, had their first reaction after hearing the news. The civil ministers group wanted to hold several large banquets to celebrate the good news immediately, and some even shouted the slogan of the heavenly being the heavenly being summoned. [..com]

One day later, Emperor Chongzhen woke up and found that the court had a civil and military confrontation due to the news of Zhou Shixiong's death. A group of new nobles led by Man Gui submitted memorials to the court, either resigning or begging for bones. It was obvious that this method was used to force the court to explain whether Zhou Shixiong's death was a natural disaster or **!

If it was a normal day, even if Man Gui, Hei Yunlong and others had a high merit, it would be useless. Their memorials would not even be sent to the emperor's desk, and the cabinet would be approved by the department for investigation. Now thousands of Mongolian cavalry are still looting everywhere in Beizhili. If they really offended these Qiuba, they would dare to give up. At that time, no one would curb the Mongolian cavalry's burning, killing, looting, and the chaos in Beizhili could not end. These Wenqu stars would have no good results.

When Sun Chengzong heard the news of Zhou Shixiong's death, he stayed in the door and never saw anyone. His attitude made the military ministers and nobles even more courageous. Wu Weiying and Xue Bao led the servants to block Zhou Yanru's house and asked him to explain why Zhou Shixiong was against the will of heaven. The old saying goes, it is hard to explain the reason for a scholar to meet a soldier, but this time he lost it. It is not the scholar but the soldier who is responsible.

Wu Xun's openly challenged the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, which further aroused the anger of the civil servants. They must not allow the military to look up, as this would destroy the beautiful world where the scholars and officials and the kings jointly rule the world. Didn't Wu Xun use resignation to force the court, and the civil servants also resigned. The chief minister Li Biao took the lead in writing a resignation letter to Emperor Chongzhen to show their position.

"It's all correct." Emperor Chongzhen found out that the stack of memorials in front of him were all resigned, and said very simply. Wang Chengen was shocked again, "Long live, is he not waking up or is he dreaming?"

"Long live, the resignation of the Chief Auxiliary Lord Li is here." Wang Chengen tried his best to remind him, hoping that Emperor Chongzhen would understand that he was firing the Prime Minister.

"I know, it's all right. I ordered Zongdao to take charge of the cabinet temporarily. Mangui, Heiyunlong and other military generals followed Sun Chengzong to eliminate Jiannu from the capital." Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and wrote an edict, "I ordered Sun Chengzong to serve as the young master and the crown prince's grand tutor, the Minister of Personnel, and the Grand Secretary of Zhongji Palace and the Minister of War to be the Minister of War. "

Originally, Sun Chengzong was already a minister of the Ministry of War, and Emperor Chongzhen added the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The main purpose was to allow Sun Chengzong to have the power of personnel below the fourth rank. As long as the officials he liked could be promoted by himself and reported to the court afterwards. This power was so great that it was a bit scary, which was equivalent to taking away all the powers of appointment and removal from officials outside the pass. It was not an exaggeration to say that Sun Chengzong was the King of Liaodong.

The grant of this privilege is first, and the appeasement of Sun Chengzong is second. Now the only military-level civil servant in the court can take action is Sun Chengzong. If Sun Chengzong gave up the challenge due to Zhou Shixiong, Emperor Chongzhen could only go to the ancestral temple to kneel down.

He temporarily suppressed the conflicts between civil and military officials by hitting 50 boards. Emperor Chongzhen still had a headache about how to face his wife. Du Xun, the general manager of Kunning Palace, sent a message early. Empress Zhou learned that his righteous brother was in misfortune and had already gone to Xianruoguan to perform rituals for his righteous brother, begging the Three Qing Daozu to bless his righteous brother in the next life to be prosperous and perfect.

This is even more deadly than a slap in the face. Emperor Chongzhen's wife prayed for wealth and honor to her righteous brother. Isn't this saying that as the king of a country, Emperor Chongzhen could not even give Zhou Shixiong a lifetime of wealth? It can be seen how angry the tolerant and virtuous Queen Zhou was. Emperor Chongzhen could not explain yet. Could it be that he wanted to tell Queen Zhou that he forced Zhou Shixiong back to find a good doctor for himself?

No matter how chaotic it was, Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent Qin envoys to Guangxi to inspect the bodies of Zhou Shixiong, Fang Zhenghua and others, confirm the cause of their deaths, and then went to Pingxiangzhou to report the deaths. That's right, no one dared to report the deaths in Pingxiangzhou, so the Hou Mansion and Pingxiangzhou officials at all levels were doing their own things safely. Zhou Shixiong, with Ji Hongchang's name, rented a small yard in Longtan Village outside Xuanhua City, Nanning Prefecture, bought a few cattle and sheep to start his livestock tame life.

Longtan Village is named after the Longtan next to the village. There are many legends about this pond. The most popular one is that there are sea eyes under the water to directly lead to the Dragon Palace in the West Sea. Zhou Shixiong really hopes to see what a dragon looks like to see if he can tame one. Occupational disease.

"Brother Hongchang, how long does it take to buy these cows to sell?" The owner of the yard was named Lei. It is said to be a branch of the Lei family in Hengzhou. He came to Nanning Prefecture more than a hundred years ago to have branches and leaves. It has been said that he is now the largest clan of Longtan Village. Lei Chen, the youngest son of the village chief, is 18 years old this year, and he is divided according to the rules of the Lei family. He is only divided into this small courtyard and a few acres of paddy fields, and it is quite easy to support himself.

"That depends on what you buy cattle. If you do labor, you have to raise it for a year. If you use it to have a good time, it is the time to train the little buffalo for a few days. Instead, it is more difficult to domesticate a few goats. Zhou Shixiong wants to domesticate goats into a new breed that does not eat grass roots, and there are many ways to do it. The captive goats will definitely not eat grass roots because there are no grass roots, but captive goats require a large enough field for goats to move, otherwise it will cause a variety of diseases.

Treating diseases is a pediatric department for Zhou Shixiong, but he hopes to cultivate a new breed of goats. This goat can be raised like a pig, omnivorous, disease-resistant, and short maturity period are the main goals. In fact, this has completely separated from the category of animal trainers, but having medical nanorobots makes Zhou Shixiong unable to help but want to be a crazy biochemical expert.

"Eat cows? Are you not afraid of being the government? "The Lei family's tutor is very good. Although the Lei family is the largest clan in Longtan Village, the Lei family's children do not have the arrogance of the landlords like ordinary landlords, and are still full of awe for the Ming Dynasty.

"Of course the people dare not eat it. The people in the government bought it and took it to eat it. Could it be that I am not profitable?" Zhou Shixiong did not say how dark the society was, but just responded casually. After leaving the village, Lei Chen wanted to do things on his field. Zhou Shixiong drove a few cows and sheep to the small mountain bag west of Longtan. At noon, a young man in two shirts came to the mountain bag. Seeing Zhou Shixiong laughing, "Brother Hongchang is so leisurely, and he is not afraid that your treasures will be lost."

"Xiao Wan is here. You run to me twice a day, and you are not afraid of others talking about you." Wan Qi'an lifted his shirt and sat next to Zhou Shixiong, pulled a piece of grass and held it in his mouth, "Brother Hongchang, isn't this a problem? Don't always think that I came here for you and the sheep."

"What's wrong?" The news that Fang Zhenghua had to go there certainly attracted Zhou Shixiong's attention.

"The old guy Wang Zunde really has some solutions. He has not reported the funeral to Pingxiangzhou until now. The two corpses were frozen. It seems that they have to wait for the court to send people to deal with it." Zhou Shixiong thought about it and understood why Wang Zunde did this. This Governor Wang was afraid of taking responsibility. If he reported the funeral to Pingxiangzhou Zhennanhou Mansion, if the court had other intentions, he would not be able to change it. Governor Wang pushed all the responsibilities to the court, but the court wanted to take his favor, and it was indeed an old fox.

"I don't know what the imperial court said. If Cheng Peng was not promoted to the prefect of Ping Xiangzhou, but sent someone to take over Ping Xiangzhou, it would be a lot of trouble." Zhou Shixiong was a little regretful now. He only thought about not being able to go to Beijing, but ignored many problems. For example, will Ping Xiangzhou be taken over, and will the three thousand households lose control.

"No matter how much Xiangzhou changes, as long as Zhennan Hou Mansion is in Pingxiangzhou for one day, those people will not be able to make any changes." Wan Qi'an comforted Zhou Shixiong with a smile. He knew much more about the affairs in the officialdom than Zhou Shixiong. For example, Zhennan Hou Mansion with a real power, such as Zhennan Hou Mansion, which has a local fief, let alone Xiangzhou changed to a magistrate, even the Nanning Hou Mansion would not dare to offend such nobles easily. No matter whether Zhennan Hou Mansion was an emerging noble or not, they would not dare to.

"The Zhennan Hou Mansion is amazing and can be passed down for three generations, but the influence of Xiangzhou's trade routes is getting bigger and bigger. It is hard to guarantee that some people who are tempted of money will do irrational things." Zhou Shixiong's words are very reasonable. No one has paid attention to Pingxiangzhou before. That is because Xiangzhou is poor. Although it has the convenience of foreign trade, the high mountains and far roads have already left most people without motivation. In addition, the war between the Northern Vietnam and the Li Dynasty has continued, and not many people have the ability to ensure that their caravans can complete the journey safely.

Now the Pingxiang Elephant Team of Xiangzhou has emerged, and 20% of the goods in Nanning Prefecture are transferred to Pingxiangzhou, and then a large number of overseas and Jiaozhi specialties are transported back from Shenglong Prefecture, making Nanning Prefecture's commercial affairs more active and prosperous. If it weren't for the appearance of Zhennanhou, the Nanning Prefecture Salt and Iron Supervision would have sent people to Pingxiangzhou and get a share of the business path.

"Brother Hongchang, you have a problem with your algorithm. The first-class marquis has been reduced to third-class marquis, and the first-class marquis have been reduced to third-class marquis, and the first-class marquis have been given two more generations. The first-class marquis and second-class marquis have been unable to completely control one force. It is better not to have such descendants." According to the Ming Dynasty's title system, the titles were passed down from generation to generation until they were given a title. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Xu Da, Zhang Yong and other founding princes, whose titles were hereditary, and they were still first-class dukes no matter how many generations they had.

If Zhou Shixiong did not play fake death and continued to make trouble in the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible to be a king, but it would be almost certain to become a duke. Unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen only wanted to find a family doctor, and Zhou Shixiong did not want to go to the capital to accompany Emperor Chongzhen to die. The two of them had their own ideas, but they could only part ways.

ps: I asked for support. I haven't asked for it for many days, and I said it a little shyly.
