"I am appointed as the governor of the country and have offended the object of material discussion. Now there are ignorant people who directly accuse my son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the tide.

"In order to avoid suspicion from loyal ministers, I asked the Holy Emperor to abolish the two capitals system, use Nanjing Imperial City as the palace, and withdraw the Nanjing temple system; the southern Zhi-level jurisdiction is An (Qing) Hui (zhou), Jiang (Ning) Su (zhou), and set up three departments to select herdsmen and officials, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the six Beijing ministries..."

The earthquake in the Jiangnan officialdom caused by the Jiliu Cang in Kunshan, whether it is the Nanjing boss or the Zhejiang envoy, will be unclear on the grounds of "fraudulent party frame-up". Only when Zhu Cixuan stands up can he take off the hat of "party struggle" and return to the original purpose: the government is unclear.

To take responsibility, we must propose solutions. Since some people suspect that the crown prince’s reign is to be divided into half of the country. Although this logic cannot withstand scrutiny, some people did call it out. Then the crown prince simply removed the two capital systems. Beijing was the only political center, and Nanzhili was divided into two provinces, and Beijing sent officials to directly govern.

Doing so will always prove your innocence?

...

"Indeed, doing so can prove that the crown prince himself has no ambition to establish a different court, but the ministers in the South China may not have such a good life. There are probably two thousand officials in the six ministries, temples, courtyards, and offices in Nanjing." The old man in his seventies, with a white head and white beard, sat on his official hat and chair, and said slowly while peeling oranges.

The head of the old man was Shi Kefa, who is now in charge of Huguang. He was transferred from the position of Minister of War in Nanjing to serve as governor of Huguang. He was obviously a scattered person, but in fact he was exiled. After arriving in Wuchang, Shi Kefa felt that government affairs were difficult to carry out. On the one hand, the scattered soldiers in Chu Town were unable to be eliminated, and many places had formed bandit gangs that separatist county towns. On the other hand, there were even Miao Yi tribes in Hunan who did not accept education and were in chaos at the same time. If they wanted to send troops to clear them, they would suffer from no soldiers.

The main force of the mountain division is in the two lakes, and he can respect local pastoral officials on weekdays. However, the division commander Luo Yukun is based on the Ministry of War's Wenhuan's work, and he ignores the governor's flag at all. Shi Kefa's temperament cannot do Hong Chengchou, and Yuan Chonghuan's determination to kill generals is like killing a chicken, so he has to slowly consume it with the heart of being at peace.

Although local official duties were not good, Shi Kefa did not forget the major events in Nanjing and the world. His aide was named Yao Kang, and he was well-versed in history, as if he had the talent of Wang Zuo. Therefore, he only called "Mr. Yao" and treated him with courtesy. He did not have any arrogance.

Yao Kang wrote a book called "Taibai Sword" and used the rebellion of Wang Chao in the Tang Dynasty to allude to the current situation. Based on this, it proposed the national policy of "union of the enemy and suppressing the enemy", which was recognized by Shi Kefa. The result proved that the Eastern Barbarians were not the Western Rong in the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty did not have "Guo Ziyi". If it were not for the mistakes in the decision-making of the Eastern Barbarians, half of the Jiangnan area would not be preserved.

This incident made Yao Kang depressed for a long time. He became more and more cautious about the situation in the world and did not dare to say much. However, the situation in Jiangnan is as clear as the moment of his current situation, because Jiangnan Shilin's reaction has not changed for more than a hundred years, and it is only a few moves to go, which is too easy to judge.

However, His Royal Highness's reaction is often unexpected and it is really a bit imaginative.

"If Beijing really withdraws Nanjing, wouldn't it be a sword for the crown prince to change it?" Shi Kefa said: "With Nanjing's arrogance, it is easier to control the two provinces after all."

"I don't think so." Yao Kang has been cultivating his character for many years and clearly feels his spirits tense at this moment. He said carefully: "There are very few people in Nanjing who are inclined to the crown prince, but only a few fifth and sixth ranks of the staff. If the Nanjing system is really withdrawn, the power will become more and more concentrated, and he can directly give the three departments of the two provinces of Nanzhi."

"The general manager of the third department of the new province still needs to report to Beijing, so it is better to direct Nanzhi directly." Shi Kefa disagreed.

"I'm afraid the Southern Si Lin underestimated the strong control of the Crown Prince over the government." Yao Kang said leisurely: "In the cabinet, Li Yuzhi has been slow to leave, just because Wu Yan wants the president to take this year's examination. When Wu Yan accepts this group of disciples, Li Yuzhi should retire. Jiang Dejing received the order to govern Huanghuai and has always been supervising work outside. The two cabinet masters who are actually doing business are the Crown Prince. Why should he worry that Beijing will have any constraints on him?"

Shi Kefa still felt a little unbelievable. Wu Yan and Sun Chuanting were both experienced officials and would never act blindly according to the prince's wishes. As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. How could there be no friction between an old man like them and a radical prince?

Yao Kang said again: "Actually, Nanjing is too cruel, forcing the crown prince to come up with this trick."

Shi Kefa said: "Shilin always thought he could do it with his sharp sword and pen. Who would have thought that newspapers could launch such a huge momentum? Speaking of which, newspapers are also the new policy implemented by the crown prince."

Yao Kang shook his head and said, "It is one thing to criticize the words and pens, and it is another thing to resign from the official position. These two are clearly the crown prince who is ready to wait, let everyone show their chariots and horses, show their swords and guns, and then use their strength to fight back. Ming Gong, just imagine: If the Shilin in Jiangnan did not make such a big noise and did not unite so much, the crown prince would be so easy to remove the two capital system?"

Shi Kefa followed Yao Kang's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh: "Now Jiangnan is like a special territory, I'm afraid the emperor has to withdraw from Nanjing."

"That's right, it's not the crown prince, but the south of the Yangtze River is unified." Yao Kang said, shook his head and put the oranges in his mouth to keep warm. Oranges could not last long, but Zhang Dai's fourth uncle Zhang Yefang invented a method of preserving them, which is to use a yellow sand jar to collect them with Jincheng straw or dry pine hair. Ten days later, the grass will be replaced if it has moisturized energy. In this way, it can be hidden until the end of March, and it will be sweet and crispy as if it is newly picked.

Although it is luxurious, it is popular among the powerful families in Jiangnan.

Although Shi Kefa is honest, he does not blame himself for such expenses that are necessary for life. Moreover, Yao Kang is also fond of eating oranges, so he naturally has to ensure supply.

"As soon as this article was published, Jiangnan didn't know how to deal with it." Shi Kefa asked.

Yao Kang said: "The old masters can only say the word 'ancestral system'."

Shi Kefa was silent. The ancestral system was the most sharp weapon, but it was also the most powerless refutation. Moreover, the ancestral system itself was somewhat untenable, because everyone knew that Emperor Taizu Gao was actually not satisfied with the capital of Nanjing. He once regarded Kaifeng as Beijing and established Peiping Prefecture, and later became Kaifeng Prefecture. In the 24th year of Hongwu, he sent the crown prince Biao to govern Shaanxi to investigate the transfer of the capital to Guanzhong.

From Yongle to Zhengtong, the status of Beijing and Nanjing in the capital also went through several twists, either taking Beijing as the leader or Nanjing as the leader. It was not until the sixth year of Zhengtong that the system of the two capitals was finally determined.

If this starts to be quarrel again, it will be a good fight, and Nanjing will most likely be at a disadvantage.

"If it is to be punished, I almost feel that all this was taken up by the crown prince." Yao Kang said suddenly: "If Nanzhi is divided into two provinces and belongs to the six ministries, then the system of Jiangnan Shilin originally south and Zhejiang as the pillar of the pillar will become a struggle for establishment of the three provinces. According to the two provinces designated by the crown prince, the former is rich and the latter is talented. Once the two provinces are separated, the person will discuss the township party. Wouldn't it give the crown prince the opportunity to defeat each one?"

Shi Kefa hesitated: "The crown prince is probably not enough to manipulate people's hearts, right?"

Yao Kang smiled but said nothing.

"Sir, how should Jiangnan deal with it?" Shi Kefa asked again. He knew that although he had left Jiangnan, someone would definitely write to ask him about his opinion, and he would just make a foundation first.

"The Jiangnan is prosperous and the world is well-known. If you are willing to give the crown prince a share of the pie, all problems may be solved." Yao Kang said with a smile.

"Fianrun? The crown prince? The whole world belongs to his family..."

"Don't Ming Gong believe it?" Yao Kang waved his hand and interrupted Shi Kefa: "The world is nominally belonged to the Zhu family, but the emperor was wearing torn clothes, while the wealthy family in Jiangnan even had several replacement silks and satin. If there was no national change, perhaps this situation could last for decades. After the Jiashen Incident, the crown prince had already confiscated the house and maintained his army and had already tasted the taste. Will he still ignore the rich land in Jiangnan?"

"The crown prince's appetite is limited after all, and he must also be concerned about his reputation before and after his death. If the Jiangnan Shi family can share some of the benefits, it would be fine. If he is determined to eat alone, it is unlikely to be good." Yao Kang sighed: "It's a pity that people die for money!"

Shi Kefa shook his head. He heard that the cabinet had discussed the Tax Law as early as 18 years ago, and because of the obstacles of Mr. Jiang, he could never reach a collegial agreement. If this law could be reached first in Jiangnan, it would undoubtedly be the most popular thing for the Crown Prince.

Let’s let go of Jiangnan for the time being, Shi Kefa said again: “My Huguang is also complicated. My official has made great efforts to implement the new policy of the East Palace, but it has many obstacles and has minimal results. Just when he was about to submit a memorial, he was worried that the crown prince would misunderstand that I was supporting Jiangnan and attacking the new law. Alas.”

"Ming Gong's concerns are not an exaggeration." Yao Kang said: "The difficulty in Huguang is that there are no officials who are willing to take ruthless actions. They all want to enter the famous official temple, so how can they offend the place?"

"They are not afraid that the crown prince will give them a blow..." Shi Kefa sighed.

"What are you afraid of? Are there any officials above you who are holding on?" Yao Kang said with a smile.

"But I don't want to hold on for them." Shi Kefa showed disgust. He had no good feelings for those idiots.

"This is simple," said Yao Kang, "forcing localities to fill the regular tax. As long as they can hand over the grain, it is the greatest support for the crown prince. Ming Gong did not expect to enter the famous official temple, what do you care about?"

"this……"

"Then collect some evidence of the officials harsh people and give it to the crown prince."

Yao Kang said a solution in a few words. After eating the last few orange pieces in his hand, he clapped his hands and said goodbye.
