Chapter 199: Mao Ji is promoted

This is a map of the conquest of related martial arts. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info On the screen, a young general is prancing on his horse and spearing, pointing his sword to the north.

The military general looked like he was only in his weak crown, but he was full of spirit. Riding on a horse, the sword in his hand was raised like a pine, pointing far to the north, but his head was turned to the rear, as if he was shouting something, and as if he was giving a military order loudly.

The young general's face was full of heroism, with a bit of perseverance, a bit of murder, and a little naughty.

Like the previous picture of the scholar, on this picture, the entire middle is occupied by this young general. The only difference is that the map of the scholar is full of clouds and nothing else, while on this map, the young general's war horse under the crotch is standing on a map.

The map seems to be a map involving the entire Ming Dynasty and its surroundings, and the direction of the young general's sword is Mongolia in the north.

When everyone first looked at this picture, they only thought it was a fragment of the attack on Mongolia in the past. After all, the Ming Dynasty never broke the war with the northern grasslands, so he didn't care too much.

At this moment, Du Fu was shocked and pointed to this picture.

"What's wrong?" Hongji frowned slightly, looked at Du Fu and asked.

Du Fu stared at the picture with his eyes, and he even neglected the usual etiquette. Hearing Hongji ask, he pointed to the map and said, "This map, this map is wrong." When ....... when did Mongolia become completely unified? How could it include the entire northwest? How could this be? ”

Hongzhi and Mao Ji were both shocked, staring at them anxiously, and they couldn't help but gasp.

To say that today's Mongolia has been fighting for many days, and it is far from being completely unified. Although the little prince Dayan Khan's family is dominant, occupying most of the grassland, there is still a natural opponent in the northwest, that is, the original national teacher Yisima is entrenched by a force.

Just as some time ago, the two sides have been in a state of stalemate in mutual conquest, so that the stabbing department suddenly fell to Yismayin, so that Dayan Khan did not dare to look westward with all his might, so he could only turn back first to deal with the hidden danger in the waist ribs, and even did not hesitate to negotiate with the Ming court.

This state is actually a situation that the Ming Dynasty is willing to see. As long as Mongolia continues to be in such chaos, how can there be time to invade the borders of the Ming Dynasty? The Ming Dynasty just took the opportunity to recuperate. In this way, when they lose both dogs and dogs, maybe Da Ming will be able to take the profits of the fisherman.

But judging from the map in front of me, the entire northern grassland is all one banner, and now there is no trace of the Yismayin forces in the northwest?

Without Ismain, without the stab, wouldn't it mean that Mongolia was completely unified? At least there would be no large opposition forces. How can this not make Du Fu frightened? At this moment, after Hongzhi and Mao Ji saw it, their hearts suddenly became heavy.

This kind of thing is worrying just thinking about it.

In the cabinet, the three monarchs and ministers were silent for a while. Half-loud, Mao Ji swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said reluctantly: "This ...... Could this be a painting, well, the scene after Taizu first settled in the Central Plains?"

Hongji frowned, didn't speak, just looked at the picture fixedly and didn't move. Mao Ji was ashamed to accept the words, and he himself felt that this reason was really a little unreliable.

Let's just say that the expression of the young general in the picture, among the famous generals at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of such a look. Heroic, resolute, and ...... Naughty...... ,This,It's really weird.,The whole contradiction is combined.。

How wise Taizu and Chengzu were back then, how could such a military event be entrusted to such a young general?

Besides, when the Mongols were defeated and retreated to the northern steppe, it was when their power was the weakest, and all the tribes were all harboring ghosts, and even the situation created by Dayan Khan was not as good as the situation created by Dayan Khan now, where can it be called all unified?

From these two points, it is obvious that this picture is by no means what he described as the scene of the original Central Plains.

But if it weren't for the scene when the Central Plains was first settled, there would have been no such picture since then. After counting the generations of emperors after the martyrdom of Chengzu, it seems that the only one who took the initiative to attack the grassland was His Majesty Yingzong.

The change of Tumubao has always been the eternal pain of the Ming monarchs. However, although Yingzong favored the eunuch Wang Zhen, he was by no means a frivolous person, and he was definitely not the same thing as the person in the painting.

It's neither, unless it's ......

Mao Ji lowered his head and thought hard, and suddenly a thought came to his mind, and he couldn't help but suddenly raise his head as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and his face was shocked.

Coincidentally, Emperor Hongzhi also turned his head to look at him at the same time, his face was slightly pale, and the surprise and shock in his eyes were obvious.

"This ...... This is not ....... this is ......." Mao Ji trembled, blurting out the words incomprehensibly. But when the voice came out, he himself was startled. The voice was dull and dry, and it was not human-like at all.

"Silence!" Hongzhi suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Mao Ji trembled, his face was full of ashes in an instant, and a burst of sweat poured out from his body.

The two of them thought of a possibility at the same time, that is, this painting is not the past at all, but the future!

Prophecy, this is a prophecy!

Whether this prophecy is accurate or not, it is absolutely top secret, and it is definitely not something that Mao Ji, a mere attendant, should know and participate in.

Then, at this moment, he fell into it involuntarily, and it is hard to say whether the Son of Heaven will kill him for the sake of secrecy. Hanlin acolytes may be very large and have a lot of status outside. But in the DPRK, it's not even a fart. The death of a Mao Ji can ensure that this kind of unstable news that does not know whether it is accurate or not is not difficult for the Son of Heaven to decide.

It is precisely because of these thoughts that Mao Ji is so desperate and desperate.

Hongji finished drinking him, and paced back and forth in the pavilion with his head down. The whole pavilion was quiet, and the soft sound of the dragon boots falling to the ground under Hongji's feet stopped in Mao Ji's ears like a soul-chasing drum, and his tremors softened, and he was almost paralyzed on the ground.

After a long while, Hongzhi suddenly stood up and said lightly: "Mao Qing, your time in the Hanlin Academy is not short." ”

Mao Ji trembled, barely cheered up, and said in a trembling voice: "Back to Your Majesty, minister...... With the grace of the emperor, he has been studying for a bachelor's degree for more than three years. ”

"Hmm. Hongzhi replied noncommittally, paused, and said indifferently: "It's also a bit of seniority." In this way, let's enter the East Pavilion tomorrow, assist Li Qing's family, learn from him well, don't disappoint me. ”

Mao Ji was stunned for a moment, and then there was a bang in his head, only to feel that his heart was floating and floating, and he didn't know that it was in the clouds.

The cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that the top leader of the cabinet was called the "first assistant", and the second cabinet was composed of three to four people, who jointly governed political affairs with the first assistant, and was called the "second assistant". The first assistant and the second assistant are collectively called into the cabinet, which is the reason for the title of the cabinet elder.

And further down, there are four or five people who serve several pavilion elders, and these people are not counted as entering the cabinet, but they are also called auxiliary, called group auxiliary, and they all work in Wenyuan Pavilion.

And all these people who work in Wenyuan Pavilion, first of all, must have the status of university scholars. The identities of scholars in the Ming Dynasty from high to low are: Huagai Hall (later changed to the Middle Pole Palace) University Scholar (first auxiliary), Jinshen Hall (later rebuilt Pole Palace) University Scholar (second auxiliary), Wenhuadian University Scholar (Qun Auxiliary), Wu Yingdian University Scholar (Qun Auxiliary), Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar (Qun Auxiliary), East Pavilion University Scholar (Qun Auxiliary).

Mao Ji was originally a bachelor of Hanlin attendant, and if he went up, he had to go through the two levels of Hanlin attendant and Hanlin bachelor. After that, it is possible to be promoted to a bachelor's degree. But it is only possible, and more choices are to join six ministries and six departments, or serve in three departments and two courts, and a small number of people may be released to govern one place. After that, it is possible to enter the cabinet.

The literati of the Ming Dynasty, entering the cabinet, is the pinnacle of their careers.

Now, I thought that I would die, but suddenly the peak turned around, and I was directly awarded the title of Dongge University Scholar, and I could enter Wenyuan Pavilion to follow Li Dongyang's governance. So big that Mao Ji was completely stunned.

"Master Mao, Master Mao!" someone was calling in his ears, and it seemed that someone was pulling his sleeve.

Mao Ji suddenly woke up, turned his head in confusion, and saw that it was the eunuch Du Fu looking at him with a smile on his face. Seeing him look over, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to the scholar, congratulations to the scholar." Why don't you hurry up and thank you?" he said, secretly wincing.

Mao Ji suddenly saved, his face was excited and flustered, he turned over and bowed down, and choked up: "Your Majesty, your ...... The minister ......" His heart was agitated, and he was speechless for a while.

Hongzhi was not surprised, and waved his hand lightly: "That's it, just do a good job." Hugh has failed my expectations, do you understand?"

Mao Ji listened to this faint command, and suddenly felt a cold water coming down, and he woke up in an instant.

The emperor said twice that he had not disappointed his expectations, and specially said that he would let himself learn from Li Dongyang...... Mao Ji thought of the key point and suddenly came to his senses. took a deep breath, and then bowed firmly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, minister, you will live up to your expectations!"

Hongji smiled on his face, nodded, personally stepped forward to help him up, and said a few words of encouragement before waving his hand to let him step back. From beginning to end, there was no mention of any drawings or paintings.

Mao Ji naturally understood, his eyes were not aim, and after respectfully saluting, he turned around.

After Mao Ji left, Hongzhi lowered his face again. In front of the factory guards, or in front of Du Fu, he can be angry and arbitrary, because these people are all royal slaves. But not in the presence of his ministers, he must be careful in his words and deeds, and strive to be a wise ruler who is lenient and benevolent. This is the emperor's norm.

"Take these away and hand them over to the mother to collect them personally, and don't leak a word. Violators, punished!"

Du Fu's heart sank, and he hurriedly bowed down, quickly put away the pictures with his hands and feet, and personally sent them to Queen Zhang Niangniang.

Hongji stood alone in the pavilion, Huo pushed open the window, and suddenly a fresh breeze blew in his face, blowing his clothes fluttering and his sideburns dancing.

"Sumo Sumo ......." he muttered in a low voice, confusion flashing in his eyes, and sometimes crossing the cold. After such a change, it finally turned into a wordless sigh.

Looking at the distant sky, the sharpness in his eyes was no longer there, but there was a little more helplessness and powerlessness. The wind was blowing, blowing the streamers of his sideburns, and a few strands of white hair could be faintly seen.

This generation of emperors, the helmsman of the Ming Dynasty, is rich and authoritative, but who knows his hardships and dedication?

Perhaps, she is the only one. The woman who has always been dependent on herself and never abandoned. Whether he is a prince who may die at any time, or an emperor who is high above.

As he thought about it, his face gradually softened, full of reminiscence.
