Chapter 413: A new official takes office
The gurgling water was poured into the leak along a small hole without delay, and the leaky arrow moved little by little at a speed that was difficult to see in the flesh's eye, and every time it moved eight scales, that is, half an hour, the eunuch who was on duty in the room would notify the eunuch of the straight hall, and the eunuch of the straight hall immediately held high a sign indicating the new time and rushed to the emperor's dormitory to report to the eunuch of the straight class.
There was silence in the palace, except for the brocade guards who were on duty in the outer hall at night, and the lights that moved from time to time to these eunuchs who stayed on duty all night, it was silent and dark for the entire palace complex.
On the fourth watch, the "hour card" of the green land gold characters was sent to the emperor's bedroom on time, the eunuch sang, and the Yongle Emperor quickly got up, began to bathe and change clothes, comb his hair and beard, and then have breakfast, drink tea, and then serve the imperial eunuch began to wait for wearing.
At the same time, the leaky room was still working, seeing that the hour had come, they immediately rushed to the noon gate at a trot to notice, the bell and drum division rang the bell, the noon door was wide open, and the military generals of Wenchen entered one left and one right. In the harem, the palm print eunuch and the Bingbi eunuch followed the Yongle Emperor, who was sitting on the sedan chair and was in high spirits, towards the Fengtian Palace.
Twelve strong and healthy eunuchs led the way, accompanied by brocade guards, and at this time, in front of the Fengtian Palace, the eunuchs began to "whip". Imperial guards, palace maids, eunuchs, and civil and military ministers shuttled like looms, bringing life to this gorgeous palace.
This is like the extremely sophisticated time machine in the leaky room, every link is operating meticulously, this is the heart of the entire empire, and the result of its operation will directly affect the fate of the entire Ming Empire and thousands of Li people.
The first day of the court was fresh and unfamiliar to Zhu Di, but he quickly adapted to such a rhythm of life.
The new emperor and the new policy, there are too many things to deal with, not to mention that although he ascended the throne, many places have not yet been submitted, military, political, economic, and all aspects, there are many things that need to be made by him, the emperor, Zhu Di listened carefully to the courtiers to report all kinds of news to him, and made instructions at any time.
Because there are too many things to deal with, today's early dynasty seems to be passing very quickly, and many ministers have not had time to say what they want to ask for, and the early dynasty has reached the time.
Today is cloudy, it seems to be raining, Zhu Di has been busy until noon, and then went to the side hall for lunch. In the eyes of the eunuchs, this new emperor was very majestic and capable. But Zhu Di is actually very uncomfortable now.
He has been in the north for many years, likes to eat pasta, is in the prime of life, and the amount of food is also large, but this meal, he only ate a steamed bun, a piece of cooked delicious mutton, and a little tofu, so he ordered to withdraw the banquet and go to the Zhengxin Hall to rest.
As he drank his afternoon tea, he summoned the imperial physician to the imperial physician, and at the same time recalled the various questions he had heard about the empire in the morning, and pondered whether there was anything wrong with the handling of it, and from what angles he intended to inject new things into the empire. At the same time, he was gently beating his legs, which were aching excruciatingly.
He has rheumatism, which is his early years of conquest of Mobei Yuan's legacy, and the soldiers crawled together, climbed the ice and fell in the snow, because today is cloudy, so the bones are sore and painful, but he can not show a little impatience and pain in the court, every courtier reported to him, he had to make a gesture of listening carefully, and he was indeed listening carefully.

Although he is confident that he is more capable than that stupid nephew, and he will govern the world, whether it is for the country or the people, he will govern better than Zhu Yunwen, but he is congenitally insufficient, he has a Dao system, but this Dao system is what scholars care about the most, and it is above the interests of the country and the people of Wan Ganli, for the sake of the Dao system, they can sacrifice all this, including their own lives, outside the Chao Yang Gate, someone has proved this.
Therefore, he has to work hard, not only to work hard, but also to work a hundred times harder than Zhu Yunwen, but also to create brilliant achievements. Didn't Li Shi Shimin's people do that? He hopes to use the merits he has created to gain the support of the world's scholars, and to govern the world, he must rely on them after all.
He hopes that through his own efforts, future generations will recognize him as a competent emperor, he is now ranked in the ninety-five, the supreme in the world, except for the name behind him, there is nothing he wants to pursue but can't get, he has to work hard for this.
After taking the medicine sent by the imperial doctor and taking a short lunch break, the pain on his body eased slightly, Zhu Di cheered up and summoned the officials of the six ministries to continue the discussion.
First of all, the officials of the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Literature and Selection, and the Department of Honors and Honors provided him with a long list, and at yesterday's enthronement ceremony, he appointed and rewarded the highest-ranking officials, and there were many more appointments and dismissals waiting for him to decide, and after some serious inquiries, he finalized them one by one, and finally he determined the list of promotions and rewards.
Subsequently, the household department reported to him the country's population, the number of acres of land, the harvest of previous years, and the drought and flood disasters that had not yet been dealt with because of the military disaster this year, Zhu Di listened attentively and ordered that Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Gansu and other places affected by the war and drought and flood disasters be exempted from taxes for half a year.
Then the Ministry of Rites reported to him the detailed arrangements for the burial rites of Emperor Jianwen and the crown prince, and urged the emperor to take Princess Yan and the prince from Beiping as soon as possible, and crown the queen and crown prince as soon as possible.
Then the military department reported on the movements of the garrisons in various places, including the remnants of Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan in Shandong, the garrison in Fengyang Zhongdu, and the situation of Mei Yinmei's horses, who supported the 400,000 garrison of Huai'an, and still "knew nothing" about Zhu Di's army to attack Nanjing.
"Japan!"
Zhu Di sneered, he still didn't care about those Dongying dwarves who were ridiculed by his father as "watching the sky and sitting on the well, and the monarch and the minister talk frogs", he thought for a while and said: "Order the coastal officers and soldiers to strengthen the defense, and don't let the Japanese invade my subjects again." He ordered Chen Xuan to lead the naval division to the east and strengthen the coastal defenses. Yi Shaozong sacrificed his life for the country, was loyal and courageous, issued an order, chased up to the next level, gave the burial of Xiangshan Yuquan Mountain, gave him a monument for commendation, gave his family money and food, and his son succeeded his father and served in the army. ”
"Zunxi!"
Ru Chang agreed, and said: "Huai'an Meiyin, 400,000 soldiers and horses ......." ”
Zhu Di sneered again, he had already understood Mei Yin's thoughts.
He led an army of 150,000 to the south, and even the city of Nanjing was occupied, this Mei Horse who was ordered by Emperor Jianwen to go north to Huai'an, just to prevent him from going south, actually knew nothing about his movements, and knew nothing about the situation in Nanjing, is there such a self-deceptive joke in the world?
This plum horse obviously cherishes feathers, and he doesn't dare to fight with him, and because he is a trusted minister in front of the imperial examination before he dies, it is not good to betray Jianwen directly, so he pretends to be deaf and dumb and does not move, which makes Zhu Di very disdainful.
If Mei Yin can lead the troops to fight with him, or if he sees that the general trend has gone, he simply surrenders generously, but he will not be a bright and upright man, but now he acts like this, Zhu Di looks down on him from the bottom of his heart. He thought for a moment and called, "Muen! ”
"The slave is here!"
Mu En hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit, Mu En is not a small imperial servant now, after Zhu Di entered the palace, he has been promoted to the chief eunuch in charge of the direct palace, and he is also a high-ranking figure in the palace.
Zhu Di said lightly: "Edict Princess Ningguo, write a letter to the family, and ask her concubine to come back!" ”
※※※More※New※Most※Fast※When※Yet※Yes※Hundred※Degree※Nishiki※Cloth※Night※Walk※Bar※
Mu En hurriedly said: "Yes! ”
Zhu Di's personality is very similar to his old eagle, Zhu Yuanzhang is such a character: "Wring it out!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said that there was a lake in that place that was not suitable for building a palace, so he filled in the lake, and he didn't move the place anyway; If you embezzle military rations, he will crush you to death with thousands of stone of grain; You are corrupt as a student
With the money you need to build the schoolhouse, he will cut off your head and bury it on the road in front of the schoolhouse for the students to trample on every day... Didn't Mei Yin just want him to write an edict and then get off the donkey down the slope, King Ning had also played this kind of being a and standing upright
Zhu Di couldn't refuse to cooperate with the matter of the archway at that time, but now that the initiative is in his hands, he naturally doesn't have to compromise. Zhu Di didn't give that edict, you want to go downhill and ask your wife to give you a letter from home, you can't love it! while
At the beginning of the Northern Army, when Huai'an, you didn't dare to send troops to fight, do you dare to rebel now?
Mu En hurried to the "Ten Kings' Mansion." Conveying the emperor's message to Princess Ningguo, Zhu Di asked Ji Chang again
The situation of the Horse Husbandry Division, the Driver Division and the Arsenal Division, said: "I have ordered the firearms craftsmen and workshops of the Ordnance Bureau to be handed over to the Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Division for supervision, and you can arrange the handover as soon as possible." In addition to the 3,000 battalions and the five army battalions, I will be formed separately
In this regard, the 'Shenji Battalion,' a Beijing battalion unit that mainly relies on firearms, you must work with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, Jinyi Weinan Town, and the Ministry of Industry to do a good job. ”
Ru Chang hurriedly bowed down and said yes.
Zhu Di looked at Chen Qi, the new imperial envoy of the capital, and ordered: "After I ascended the throne and became emperor, there was no amnesty for the world!" As the saying goes, if a person gains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, but if I become the emperor, the crimes of murder, adultery, and greed for ink are great
Isn't it unreasonable that all the prisoners of the extreme will be stained with light? However, your imperial embassy should conscientiously sort out the cases that have already been convicted by the Criminal Department and the cases that are still pending
In order to correct, if the corruption and bribery are given a light sentence or not a sentence because of the status of a scholar, the trial will be retried and the punishment will be severe! ”
Chen Xu hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order, and the minister has two more things to report to Your Majesty." ”
"You say."
Chen continued: "Jianjiu old ministers, there have been many people who have been ordered to go to various places to recruit troops and prepare to defend the Beijing Division. Among them, Huang Guan has raised more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, rushed to Jinling by military boat, and the ship went to Anqing Rakshasa Rock, heard that Emperor Jianwen burned himself, His Majesty had broken Jinling City, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and the soldiers and horses he recruited also dispersed. ”
Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened: "Another one, another one, I refuse to admit my remorse when I die..."
Chen Qi looked at his face and said: "Wang Shuying returned from recruiting troops, and on the way, I heard that His Majesty had succeeded to the throne and had committed suicide. ”
Zhu Di clenched his fists suddenly, and he suddenly felt that his sore knees were even more uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he just wanted to lie down.
Chen Qi said: "There is also Tang Zong, Chang Zong pretended to be a common man and wanted to escape from the capital, but he was already caught. His Majesty obeyed the orders of the heavens, inherited the unification, and became the lord of the world, but these people who served the death of Jianwen did not eat the ancients, and were the enemies of His Majesty. ”
This Tang Zong was instructed by Emperor Jianwen to take the lead in "deniging" the original Beiping officials of King Yan's rebellion to the imperial court, Chen Qi was also an official in Beiping at that time, it was because he was denounced by Tang Zong, saying that he was close to Yan Wangfu, so he was demoted to Guangxi, Chen Qi will be repaid, and now since Tang Zong has been arrested, how can he let it go.
Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and said: "At the beginning of my righteousness, I just wanted to punish the traitors Fang, Huang, and Qi Tai, and the rest of them have the intention of returning to obedience, and they can all be used overnight." ”
"Your Majesty"
Zhu Di waved his hand: "They are all loyal to the imperial examination, so they are loyal to Jianwen, I don't hate them for being loyal to Jianwen, I only hate the traitor who has a sinister heart, lures Jianwen, and changes the law of the ancestor of the Clan!" ”
Chen Xu has just taken the position of the imperial envoy of the capital, and he has a bit of a taste of the fire of the new official taking office, and what is the Metropolitan Procuratorate for? is to picket hundreds of officials, if he can do a few more big things, his status in the court, in the emperor's heart
Naturally, the bit is extraordinary. However, the previous time he was outside the Chaohuyang Gate, and this time in the Zhengxin Palace, he made two suggestions to Zhu Di in a row, wanting to make Zhu Zhuluan bigger, but Zhu Di refused, and Chen Qi felt a little frustrated.
Chen Qi only said twice, and did not retreat, Zhu Di asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Chen Qi swallowed. Spit and said: "There is also ......, the prefect of Ningbo, Wang Ban, rushed to build a warship, and wanted to enter the king of Qin, and when he heard that His Majesty had ascended to the great treasure, his subordinates broke up on their own, and a sergeant tied him up and entered the capital to offer to His Majesty I don't know about this person... What should I do? ”
Zhu Di's enthusiasm since he got up in the morning was poured cold by these ladles of cold water, he waved his hand gloomily, and ordered: "Remove his official and send him back to his hometown!" ”
Chen Xu was stunned and never expected Zhu Di's punishment to be so light, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned, he only agreed twice and was just about to step aside, Zhu Di suddenly said: "By the way, there are a few twists and turns here!" ”
Zhu Di took out a few copies of the fold from the case, and handed it to Chen Ying's originally dignified face and finally had a smile: "This is the plea handed over by Jing Qing, Feng Wanshun, Shi Yunchang, Xu An, Zhao Qing, and Zhou Xu, except for the three evil ones."
If you are willing to admit your guilt, I will send it leniently, you can discuss it with the Criminal Department, and recently hand them over a release and let them be released from prison. Especially Jingqing, when I was in Beiping, he was my senator, and this person was honest and honest
Be capable, let him reinstate his official and enter the court to do things. ”
※※※More※New※Most※Fast※When※Yet※Yes※Hundred※Degree※Nishiki※Cloth※Night※Walk※Bar※
"And...,..."
Although he was hit by the affairs of Huang Guan, Wang Shuying and Wang Shan, the prefect of Ningbo, Zhu Di's mood improved again when he thought of these ministers who were on the 'traitor list' but were willing to bow down to him and confess their guilt: "Detainees
Zhong, Zhuo Jing, Lian Zining, this is also a very rare wise man and capable minister, you all don't blindly arrest people, go to the prison to persuade them, if you can convince them to use them, it will be your great achievement. ”
Chen Qi was even more unhappy, so he had to agree and retreat to the side.
At this time, the waiter of the Criminal Department, who had just arrived because of something, hurriedly walked in and saluted the emperor, because the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was also a member of the traitorous list, and he had already been sent to the prison, and the waiter of the Criminal Department was temporarily in charge of affairs.
Zhu Di saw that he was sweating profusely, as if he had run into the palace, so he said, "What's the matter?" ”
Liao En, the waiter of the Criminal Department, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Sheng Yong will lead his remnants to surrender!" ”
"Sheng Yong?"
His Royal Highness's ministers were all shocked, this is the third rebellious general, Zhu Di has only suffered a big loss under two people since he started the army, one is peace, the other is Sheng Yong, peace has fallen, and now Beiping is in office, but at that time Zhu Di had not won the world, this Sheng Yong saw that the general trend had gone, so he led the crowd to surrender, how would the emperor deal with him?
Zhu Di's face, which had just had a little smile, was already cloudy, and his eyes were faintly filled with murderous aura: "Sheng Yong? Bring him to me! ”
The side immediately went out to pass the decree, and after a while, the palace guards escorted Sheng Yong, who was tied up with five flowers, to the Zhengxin Palace, and when he saw Zhu Di, Sheng Yong knelt down and kowtowed! "Sinner Sheng Yong, I've seen Your Majesty!
After a long time, without hearing a word, Sheng Yong's face gradually turned white, and after a long time, he heard Zhu Di snort coldly, Sheng Yong's body trembled, and he heard Zhu Di ask: "I came to ask you, whose idea was it to surrender under the city of Jinan and take my life with a dry Jin gate?" ”
Sheng Yong didn't dare to raise his head, and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the plan to deceive and surrender"..., it was the idea of Tie Xuan of Shandong Buzheng! ”
"Okay, that's it, the soldiers don't get tired of cheating, and I don't see responsibility."
"Smack!"
The dragon book case slapped suddenly, and the civil and military forces in the hall trembled together, bowed down together, and listened to Zhu Di Senran ask: "So, at the head of Jinan City, which one is the one who erects the Taizu spirit seat and uses it as a shield, humiliates the monarch with the body of a courtier, and regards the emperor's spirit in the sky as a puppet show?" ”
This sentence was murderous, and Sheng Yong didn't dare to breathe, but said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this... It's also the idea of Tiebu Zheng! ”
"Is that true?"
"Since the criminal minister has come to surrender, how can he deceive Your Majesty, this matter, when the court was first played, the criminal minister did not dare to take the merit of others, and it was also written clearly, and the lords in the court should know."
Zhu Di glanced coldly at the ministers in the palace, and several officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, where the ministers and other functions are, I have seen the meritorious service that day, and these two things are indeed done by Tie Xuan." ”
Zhu Di listened to the color a little dark, raised his hand and said: "Since this is the case, you get up and loosen your ties with him!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Sheng Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the left and right brocade guards let go of their hands, let him stand up, and untied the rope for him.
Zhu Di said: "The two armies fight, each shows its skills, wins or loses, I don't blame you." But I am the son of the emperor, you are the minister of the first emperor, on the battlefield, insulting the spiritual position of the monarch's father, treating it as a puppet play, whether it is for the son or the minister, so disrespectful, never forgivable! ”
Sheng Yong said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes!" ”
Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "You don't have to panic, this matter is not your opinion, and you have already come to surrender, the previous crimes will be written off, and the official will be reinstated."
Soon, Mei Yin will come back from Huai'an, now Shandong is undecided, Huai'an must be guarded by the general, when you and Anping Hou Li Yuan, go to Huai'an to guard, Huai'an has been trapped in the place of military revolution for a long time, Qing Yi set up soldiers to raise the people, in order to praise me. ”
Sheng Yong was overjoyed, and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed down and said, "Minister, leader, thank you!" ”
Zhu Di looked up at the sky, and seeing that it was almost dusk, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm tired, you all go down!" ”
The ministers hurriedly bowed and retreated, and when they all went out, Zhu Di was silent for a moment, and said to Mu En, who had just returned from the message: "Chuan Xie Jin, Hu Jing, Li Guan, and Wu Pu come to see me!" ”
"Slave Command!"
Mu En turned around and was just about to leave, but Zhu Di called him again: "Slow, where is Yang Xu, why didn't I see him after the early dynasty." ”
Mu En also showed a smile on his face: "Back to the emperor, when the slave maid just went to the Ten Princes' Mansion to deliver the decree, I heard Princess Huaiqing say that Yang Xu, the Duke of Fuguo, went to the Wangfu Horse Mansion to eat and drink. ”
Zhu Di scolded with a smile: "The old eagle has been tired and tired all day, he is at ease, and after being crowned the prince of the country, he just wants to enjoy the blessings?" No, go and call him! ”
Mu En smiled and saluted, and was just about to turn around and leave, when Zhu Di said again: "There are also Jinyi Wei Nanbei Zhenfu Jigang and Liu Yujue, ask them to come together!" ”
Liu Yujue is forming his team in the long-abandoned Nanzhen Fusi. His people. After Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, the palace guards changed many Yanshanwei people, and the replaced Tianwei generals had nowhere to go, so they were asked by Liu Yujue to come over. In addition, it was some people that Xia Xun allocated to him from the Flying Dragon secret spy.
Liu Yujue's face is as handsome as a virgin, and he is not very majestic when he looks at it, and he used to be a little follower in front of Luo Yanshi, so the old people in brocade didn't take him very seriously. Jinyi Nanya has been closed for a long time, and there is dust and garbage everywhere.
Liu Yujue's people and horses were all ready-made, and the people were complete, so he ordered everyone to clean the office first in the morning. Unexpectedly, the old people in brocade, especially the two guard commanders who had just been replaced from the palace, had always been comfortable
The position he came to was above Liu Yujue, so he didn't think about his orders at all.
Liu Yujue was busy going to the Jinyi Wei Yamen to hand over the affairs to his old friend and boss Ji Gang, and when he returned to Nanzhen in the evening, he saw that the two Wei commanders were in charge of the land without moving. The two great eagles hid under the tree and took advantage of the shade, chatting, and their group of people were also talking, sitting lazily and lazily.
Liu Yujue didn't say a word, and immediately instructed the two guard commanders: "From Ming'er, you two don't need it, Nanzhen Fu can't afford to use a big eagle like you." ”
The two Wei commanders were stunned, they also expected that Liu Yujue would be reprimanded, but Liu Yujue was young and underqualified, and the best way to establish authority was to reprimand them openly, and secretly woo them, and allow them to be heavy
asked for some positions to consolidate himself, but he didn't expect Liu Yujue to make such an arrangement in public, the two of them were furious, jumped up and said sharply: "The surname Liu, what do you say?" The old eagle has worked hard in Jinyiwei for half his life, you say no
You don't need to use it, where do you want the old eagle to go? ”
Liu Yujue smiled faintly, put his hands behind his back, and raised his handsome face slightly: "If you don't have a position, you will naturally be a casual job, wait at home, where there is a shortage, maybe someone will use you." If you want to ask this town for help, I can help you with activities and arrange a place for you in Xiaolingwei! ”
The commander of the guard, who was nearly forty years old, was furious, and grabbed Liu Yujue with his chest: "You little rabbit cub"
A sneer tuded at the corner of Liu Yujue's mouth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
For Luo Yanshi, he is dependent and obedient, to Xia Xun, he is trust and close, his weakness is only in front of Luo Kedi and Xia Xun, if others also think that he is easy to bully, it is wrong, very wrong!
"There's a good show!"
The brocade guards hula-la-la-la-hula...'The above quoted Zhu Di's treatment of Jianwen's former ministers are all historical facts, characters, deeds, not fabricated by myself, interested friends, you can go to the public version to see the relevant information, there is not much detail in the text.
