Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty: Reward
The confession was placed before everyone's eyes, and the matter was no longer refuted. Those who had experienced the mutation now understood why Hu Guang ended up in this way.
Xie Jin took a deep breath. After seeing these confessions, he realized that he was convinced.
Judging from so many memorials, it is at least proved that Hao Fenglou is extremely delicate. He is afraid that he has planned a retreat since the day he killed Chen Tianping, and even made careful arrangements before killing Chen Tianping. Otherwise, how could so many unrequited loves be sent to Nanjing in just two months?
On the other hand, it can also be seen that Hao Fenglou's method killed the king of Annan, but in turn he was supported by the gentry and famous scholars of the country. This is rare and valuable. Even some honest and honest officials in Annan may not be able to gain so much "people's hearts" after serving as an official in Annan.
Hu Guang lost without being wronged, nor did he die without being wronged!
Such a strange thought came to Xie Jin's mind. He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei, which was why he ended up today.
Others such as Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and others also took a deep breath. At this time, they couldn't help but secretly glance at Hao Fenglou. These people finally discovered that the martial artist in front of them had far exceeded their expectations.
In the future, I'm afraid I'll have to be careful.
But... everyone still had doubts. Why did the gentry and nobles in Annan wear a pair of pants with Hao Fenglou? This is really incredible.
Everyone went to see Zhu Di. In fact, the emperor was the most uneasy when he was neither happy nor angry, so he had to put away his curiosity and listen obediently to the emperor's words.
Zhu Di had almost finished his work, and then said, "Today I was summoning you to see Chen Qing. Chen Qing was already very clear, and I was unwilling to say more. Hao Fenglou was also a disaster in Annan, and even Annan was all grateful. He praised the Ming Dynasty for being anxious about Annan and thought about what Annan thought. I deserved to be ashamed of such a reputation. This time I suppressed Annan and appeased Annan. All the first contributions were Hao Fenglou. It was a pity that although he was a great contribution to the court, he was criticized and hated, and suffered a lot. He was a young man, and it was nothing to suffer. Although it was not taken for granted, in my opinion, suffering is also a hard work, and young people should do this..."
He spoke easily, but the listeners were not.
Zhu Di continued: "But then again, he was slandered by great achievements in the court. If these things were spread, wouldn't it mean that I was mean and ruthless? This is inappropriate, but... Fortunately, he is my adopted son. Although he has no affection, he still has a relationship. Hao Fenglou, don't you blame me, right?"
Hao Fenglou quickly said modestly: "How dare I? If my father had not been so kind to me, how could I be ashamed of my son today? My father's words made me ashamed."
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Look, you are talking about a function word. You said you didn't dare, but you were definitely dissatisfied. But it doesn't matter, I will never let you suffer a loss. You have made great contributions this time. You should give me rewards, come and listen to the will."
The eunuch recording next to him, holding a bamboo slip and a small pen, listening intently.
Zhu Di said slowly: "Former Right Minister of War, the Minister of the Central People's Court, Hao Fu, Duke of Wencheng, made great contributions to Jingnan. Now his descendants have tried their best to posthumously named him the crown prince and the Grand Tutor. His son Hao Zheng was granted the title of Luzhou and became a marquis, and he also made many contributions to the court. I am very pleased with the tiger father and the tiger son. He gave him 100 pieces of silk and 50 kilograms of gold and ordered him to follow the Mu family rules in Yunnan, to control the political affairs of Annan; his grandson Hao Fenglou..."
Zhu Di paused and stroked his beard and said, "I only govern the world with literature and suppress the rebellion with martial arts. The army commanders and generals are the pillars of the court and the country's Gancheng. Only when they can achieve both civil and military affairs, they can work hard to eliminate their achievements without commending them with favor. Hao Fenglou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, has both civil and military affairs, and has pacified Annan to show his achievements. This is the mainstay and a single building. Hao Fenglou is appointed as the Marquis of the Sea and imposes 300 miles of land to commend him."
Haifanghou...
One family and two marquises are not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty. For example, the Mu family in Yunnan, some aristocratic families, and even the parents of Empress Xu, were one family and two monarchs, which was very impressive.
But the problem is that, as the Hao family rushed up like the Hao family, there were not many sons catching up with me. Not to mention, the word "fining land" was specially mentioned here. This coastal defense is a big city on the coast of Annan, bordering the fief of the Hou of Luzhou. The fief is clearly intended to strengthen the entire Hao family's power in Annan.
The Hao family had the right to inquire about Annan's military and political affairs, and nearly half of Annan's land was used as a fief. The fief of Luzhou Hou was large and rich in resources, but the population was sparse. Although the Haifang Hou was not large, it was better because it had a large registered population and was close to the coast. This Haifang Hou was still the Maritime Bureau of Annan.
It must be understood that there is almost no difference between the policies implemented by Annan and the Ming Dynasty. After Emperor Taizu, the Ming Dynasty forbidden seas and Annan actually began to follow suit. However, they soon found something wrong. The Ming Dynasty is vast and has a wealth of resources and is self-sufficient. There is naturally no problem with banning the seas. However, Annan is a small country, and places with a larger palm always need to trade with people. So, after several years of struggle, Annan decided to set up a Maritime Warfare Department in coastal defense. On the one hand, it was a Maritime Warfare Department, but on the other hand, it retained a channel to go out to sea. All trade transactions require the approval of Annan Maritime Warfare Department. This not only prevents the people from entering the sea and plaguing Annan, but also ensures Annan's external needs.
It was precisely because of the help of this Maritime Warehouse Department that its rapid rise and soon became the third largest city in Annan, besides Shenglong and Qinghua, with a population of more than 150,000, with several ports and a hundred ships entering and leaving a day.
Such a city actually promised to Hao Fenglou easily. This... actually means to give Buddha through flowers. Now it seems that the Hao family has a high reputation in Annan. If the court wants to rule Annan, it must be fully supported by the Hao family. The harder the people of the Hao family work, the more stable Annan is. Moreover, Zhu Di's attitude towards Annan has always been a pity to abandon it. After all, this place is not as strategic as Liaodong, and it has the strategic significance of squeezing the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The local area is not rich, and the people are unruly. If you are today, you may rebel tomorrow. Since this is the case, just be a favorable favor. The court cannot control it, so let the Hao family come.
After a few words, Hao Fenglou understood in his heart that the moment when the Hao family truly entered the real wealthy family has finally arrived. Although the Hao family is far inferior to the Mu family in terms of titles and connections, the Hao family has finally entered the ranks of nobles on the front line. Since then, the Hao family can completely occupy a place in the core power circle with their strength in Annan and favors in the palace.
He didn't say anything or pretend to refuse, and quickly stood up and thanked him: "Even if my son is tragic, he will never be able to repay His Majesty's grace if he dies."
Zhu Dixu raised his hand, smiled, and said, "Don't say these scenes. This is what your Hao family deserves. Of course, I have my own reason for doing this. At present, you are afraid that you will stay in the capital, but your father is still in Annan. Let him continue to be responsible for the affairs of Annan. What I want to talk about today is Annan. Now that Annan has no master, I might as well make the decision in the Ming Dynasty. Since this is the meaning of Annan's subjects, the court should also refuse it."
"To publicize Annan, on the one hand, the Hao family has to pay more attention. I know that you are very famous in Annan. This is great. With you here, Annan is half stable. But on the other hand, it still depends on the court. I know that Annan had rebelled a hundred years ago because of the rebels. The Annan court enfeoffed many princes to suppress the rebels. These princes each occupied one side, just like the governor of the Tang Dynasty. Not only did they own a large amount of land, but they also raised a lot of warriors. So the situation in Annan is very complicated. If you are not careful, it may be another turmoil. Therefore, I want to hear the opinions of you, and you think how the court should govern it?"
At this time, everyone cheered up. They realized that Annan had been officially incorporated into the Ming Dynasty today. Then another question arose, how to arrange Annan's future?
As a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin had to speak at this time. He abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart, thought calmly, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are many princes in Annan, which is the cause of repeated rebellion. Therefore, if the court wants to maintain long-term stability in Annan, it must abolish the former fiefdom..."
When talking about the fiefdom, Xie Jin glanced at Hao Fenglou deeply.
Obviously, the largest fiefdom in Annan has a lot to do with the Hao family, and it is unknown whether there is any meaning to criticize the mulberry trees or not.
However, Hao Fenglou ignored him at all and ignored his words.
Xie Jin also said: "Therefore, we should implement the provincial system in Annan, dispatch officials, and allow local parents to take over all money, grain, military and armor, farming, transportation, military and national affairs. In this way, only in time can Annan be in a long-term stability..."
The so-called provincial system is nothing more than dividing Annan into several provinces, and then setting up the three departments of the Chengxuan Government Office, the Criminal Censorate, and the Supervising and Commanding Office. At the same time, the provinces are transformed into several prefectures, Tuzhou, Tuxian, etc., and dispatching officials such as prefectures, prefectures, prefectures, and county magistrates. On the basis of these important three departments, they are affiliated with the government, transferring and other yamen, and finally forming a solid foundation of rule.
