Among these 25 people, except Tu Youyou, Xu Qiong, Bai Ang and Guan Xu, the remaining 21 people were reported in Shi Ming. Among them, Zhou Hongyi is the worst. Zhou was the history of rites left by Xianzong, and retired in October of the first year of Hongzhi.
The greatest achievements are Wang Shu, Liu Daxia, He, Jia Jun and Zeng Jian.
Wang Shu, a native of Sanyuan, Shaanxi Province, was an orthodox scholar for thirteen years. He has served as the left judge of Dali Temple, the deputy envoy of the left temple, the magistrate of Yangzhou, the right political envoy of Jiangxi, and the left political envoy of Henan, with Nanyang Jingxiang as the right deputy governor and Henan as the left deputy governor. He was transferred to right assistant minister of punishments, left assistant minister of Nanjing and right assistant minister of Yunnan. The following month, the crown prince was promoted and his insurance was reduced.
When he was the governor of Nanyang Jingxiang, he helped Bai Gui draw "Thief Liu Tong"; The Governor dredged gaoyou lake and Shaobo Lake, and built Leigongtang, Chengongtang and Gouchengtang sluices. When the governor was in Yunnan, he was not at all polite to the money of the guards. Participate in money energy for many times in a row and "directly touch the world"; When the governor of Nanji (South Zhili, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces), 60,000 stones of salty rice (surplus tax grain) in Changzhou were used to make up for the shortage of local people to pay summer tax, and the rest of salt banknotes in other governments were used to "make up" 6 million (? )。 At this time, there were floods in some areas of Nanji, so Xian Zong was played to save six hundred thousand stones from autumn grain. Eunuch Wang Jing took the demon Wang Chen to Nanji to buy "medicine antiques", and told Suzhou scholars to copy demon books (alchemy and so on), falsely accused Changzhou magistrate Sun Ren and put Sun Ren in prison. Wang Shu spared Sun Ren and told Wang Jing and Chen Wang. As a result, Jing Wong went to prison, Chen Wang was beheaded and Sun Ren was released.
After returning to Nanjing Ministry of War, he went to help Lin Jun again. Lin Jun, the minister of punishments, was jailed for opposing the demon monk Ji Xiao. In his spare time, Wang Shu said to relatives in Xi 'an: "Heaven and earth stop at an altar, and ancestors stop at a temple, while there are more than a thousand Buddhist temples, and hundreds of people live in one temple, which costs hundreds of thousands." This is also a fact. It's inappropriate when you say it. "As a result, Lin Jun was beaten with a few sticks, which is generous. People all over the country are very happy, and there is a popular saying: "There is only one uncle Wang in two departments in Beijing. "
Wang Shu served as an official in Xiaozong Dynasty, from December of the 23rd year of Chenghua to May of the 6th year of Hongzhi. He devoted himself to rectifying the bureaucracy, and in the six years of Hongzhi, he deposed about 2000 bureaucrats, large and small, all over the country. Qiu Jun, one of his college classmates at that time, was quite disapproving. He chose 90 and let Xiaozong keep them. The reason is that these 90 people are "neither greedy nor violent". Xiaozong recognized Qiu Jun's performance. Wang Shu resigned repeatedly for this reason, and Xiaozong allowed him to abdicate. Successive GengYu, Tu Youyou and Ma Wensheng can abide by the rules.
CoCo Lee, Minister of Finance, is from Xiangcheng, Henan Province. He was born a scholar and worked as an official, governor and governor of grain transportation. During his tenure in the Ministry of Finance from the 23rd year of Chenghua to the 4th year of Hongzhi, he also did many things. One of the most important ones is to convert the summer and autumn taxes in the northern Hebei (Hebei), Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces into silver, which is calculated by killing two stones. In Shandong and Henan provinces, when he was governor of Datong, he also implemented this method of exchanging grain for silver, which saved the government's flowing expenses and the labor of transporting pawns. In addition, he also invited Xiaozong to rent the farmland confiscated by sinners to ordinary people at a rent of three points per mu. He wanted to get rid of all the titles of Huang Zhuang at that time, including 12,000 hectares of Huang Zhuang (royal manor) in Beiji, and 33,100 hectares of official manor with honours and eunuchs. He changed the title of Huang Zhuang from "the head of the manor" to "the official manor", gave it to fish farmers, and hired people to rent it for three cents per mu; Guanzhuang is rented by the government and handed over to the landlord. Xiaozong refused to accept this proposal because of lack of courage.
Ye Qi, the successor of Shangshu, a native of Yang Shan (Huai 'an), changed the method of "salt merchants opening the middle school" in Hongzhi for nine years, allowing salt merchants to hand over silver instead of rice to the warehouse in Beijing. This matter has complicated interests. The so-called "salt courses" have increased, but the food needed by the border guards has been affected. It turned out that the border guards had so-called "barracks" to supply food in the early Ming Dynasty, and the barracks were corrupt at this time. Ye Qi's later ministers, Zhou Jing, Lu Zhong and Qin Bi, all wanted to make a difference, but unfortunately, they could not crack down on the evil forces of consorts and eunuchs and rectify the finances of the Ming Dynasty. The consorts are Xiao Zong's two younger brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling; Among eunuchs, Li Guang is the worst. Filial piety to queen Zhang, common tolerance crane age, age extension. They were allowed to invite "official land" and private land for farmland, and they were allowed to invite as many as170,000 salt guides (salt transport licenses) from Changluchang at a price of only 50 cents per guide, so that later "profiteers" helped each other and invited as many as1600,000 so-called "old guides" from Huaibei to Huaibei. This is the most regrettable fly in the ointment of Xiaozong's life. Salt from Zhejiang and Xiaozong also asked the eunuch in charge of weaving to allocate 5 thousand yuan every year. Li Guang's salt income is said to be more than 12,000 yuan. He often ordered the publication of "preaching for the official" and accepted gifts from civil and military officials, which made the filial piety government almost repeat the mistakes of Xianzong. Xiaozong thought he was proficient in chanting spells and geomantic omen. He listened to his words and built Yu Xiuting in Tingsui Mountain in Miyagi, but the youngest princess died. Soon, the Qingning Palace where Empress Zhou lived caught fire again. The queen mother was furious and said, "Li Guang today and Li Guang tomorrow, something really happened!" Li Guang committed suicide for fear of sin, but Xiaozong wanted to build an ancestral temple for him and give him a plaque. Liu Jian, a college student, objected strongly and stopped talking. However, filial piety is still a grand sacrifice for Li Guang.
From October of the first year of Hongzhi to the first month of the second year, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites were Geng Xu, Ni Yue, Xu Qiong, Bo Han and Zhang Sheng. Geng Xu was upright and advised Xiao Zong to expel the monks. Although Xiaozong failed to fully accept his proposal, he only allowed 182 people to stay and drove away thousands of monks. Ni Yue worked as a right assistant minister and a left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites for several years before succeeding the Minister of Rites, and was very familiar with the system and laws of the Ming Dynasty. When he became a minister, he became a quasi-filial piety, and stipulated the format of Wang Fu Building, which was not allowed to be crossed, which slightly corrected the extravagance of the ruling and opposition parties at that time. It has always been an annual routine for the Ministry of Rites to play Chen's Disaster. Ni Yue sorted out these disasters on a monthly and daily basis, and introduced the history to let Xiaozong know his vigilance. Xu Qiong, an indecent person, got the position of Shangshu by virtue of her relationship with Queen Zhang. Fu Han was excellent, but he was in office for less than two years and Yu Hongzhi died in office for fifteen years. Zhang Sheng is the number one scholar in Chenghua for five years. His humble position is very small. When he was only the illegitimate child of Zhan government, he dared to point out the adultery of Liu Ji, a university student. When he became a minister of rites, his courage did not diminish. Finally, after the death of Xiaozong, he beat Liu Jin and lived in seclusion in Zhengde for two years.
One of the most striking is the Ministry of War Shangshu and Liu Fu. About Ma Yu, the author has written a special section to introduce them. He died in February of Hongzhi's second year, spent 12 years and 8 months in the Ministry of War, and was transferred to the official department in October of Hongzhi's fourth year. In May of Zheng Deyuan, Liu Daxia retired.
Ma Wensheng is a man with both civil and military skills, who once served the government. He knew the crux of military policy at that time, and he wanted to make great achievements. Although he couldn't do everything according to his own ideals because of the deep accumulation of evils in the Ming Dynasty, he also saved the border and saved the reorganized army. Dayan Khan was helpless to him. Turpan invaded Hami, and he sent Xu Jin, Peng Qing and others to denounce and punish him. He was very concerned about cultivating the people's strength and advised Xiaozong to save taxes.
Liu Daxia is also a scholar. He is a junior official of the Ministry of War. He is a doctor (the clerk in charge of maps and other work) and Yu Zijun's right-hand man. Later, in a rage, he beat the eunuch A Jiu and was imprisoned by Xianzong, dying. He was saved by another (good) eunuch, Dai Huai 'en, and was fined 20 sticks. Later, Fujian officially participated in politics, and Guangdong envoys took office. In the sixth year of Hongzhi, he went to Henan to govern the river with the official position of deputy capital suggestion. At that time, the Yellow River burst in Zhangqiu Town. He first dredged the upper reaches of Jia Luhe, Sunjiadu and Sifuying, separated the water potential, and then built a 360-mile-long riverbank between Qiancheng and Xuzhou. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, he was the most successful man in river management. Filial piety promoted him to the position of the left deputy capital, transferred to the left assistant minister of the Ministry, and also served as the left deputy capital, and went to Fu Xuan to sort out the soldier's pay. Finally, before being promoted to the Ministry of War, he was appointed as "the right capital of the empire, in charge of the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi."
During his tenure as Minister of War, Liu Daxia wanted to carry out some painful reforms. He told Xiaozong frankly that there was no money in the world. Xiaozong was greatly surprised and asked him, "It is common for our ancestors to collect taxes. Why are we here today? " He replied, "You can't always hear it. For example, in Guangxi, it takes tens of thousands of dollars to get wood and incense medicine from Guangdong. He knows this. " Xiao Wen asked about his soldiers. He said, "Poverty means peace for the people." Xiao Zong said, "Why are you poor when you have an eclipse of the moon and a food trip?" He replied, "He is handsome enough to invade most countries."
Therefore, Xiao Zong decreed that military commanders were forbidden to invade.
In the past, the Imperial Horse Officer relied on him to support Wei's four "warriors". These four guards have the most "imaginary forehead", so Liu Daxia started with these four guards and asked Xiaozong to stop a lot of "weaving" and "fasting". He complained to Xiaozong about the "ten evils of military and political affairs" and reported the accumulated disadvantages of Cao army, Fan Shang (a soldier who took turns to enter Beijing as a guard) and border guards. Xiaozong accepted many of his suggestions. And those who involve the powerful and the near-happiness are mostly "left behind" (put in the palace without instructions).
He advocated that all the "guarding middle officials" distributed in various places should be withdrawn and recalled to Beijing. Filial piety refused. Since Wu Zong acceded to the throne, he has joined several of the most greedy guards (Dong Rang of Jiangxi, Liu Lang of Suzhou, Liu Yun of Shaanxi, Zhu Jun of Shandong), met with a big nail from Wu Zong and resigned.
He, Bai Ang and Min Jue, ministers of punishments. He Bridgette is an honest man. He was falsely accused of taking bribes by Zou Lu, a confidant of Liu Ji, and Xiao Zong allowed him to resign. This is the confusion of filial piety. Shao Peng is also a decent man, and he is also excluded by Liu Ji. Bai ang has no biography in Ming history. Min Jue dared to criticize Xiao Zong, and the law enforcement was not strict, but he always got the honor of Xiao Zong. It was not until the second year of Wu Zongzheng De that he became an official.
Jia Jun, Liu Zhang, Guan Xu and Zeng Jian are ministers of industry. Jia Jun knows how to save money. He dares to oppose the poor example of asking the Beijing Army to work at that time. He believes that the government's major projects should be limited to building warehouses and cities. The king's house and grave should bear half of his income. It used to be borne by the government. Liu Zhang succeeded, and Jia Jun was able to follow suit. There is no biography of Xu in Ming History. Zeng Jian's style is similar to that of Jia Jun and Liu Zhang, and he is also a person who saves money for the country. The needle and thread bureau in the palace wants to recruit 1000 "young craftsmen", and he strongly opposes it. He said to Xiaozong: "Shangyi Prison, Quartermaster Bureau and Superintendent all collected 1,000 craftsmen, and the war situation also collected 2,000. Now the needle and thread bureau has come to help with the case. Continue like this, "there is no such thing! "So, filial piety only allows the Needle Industry Bureau to recruit 500 students. (Actually, 500 is still too much. In the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, Xiaozong recalled all the "weaving officials", but he soon listened to Deng Rong and resumed the weaving mission of these officials. Zeng Jian desperately opposed it, and Xiaozong reluctantly reduced the number of weaving places by one third.
