Chapter 145
Syllable!
A manuscript was slammed to the ground, and the eunuchs and palace people in the warm pavilion were suddenly silent.
Bai Yan dared to take a look, then bowed down and bowed his head, sweating on his forehead.
The emperor was very angry, who dared to come forward at this time, absolutely and looking for death.
"Zhuru, dare to deceive me like this!"
Emperor Yongle sat behind the imperial case, his teeth creaking, and his anger value continued to rise, and he was about to explode. He can tolerate some of Xie Jin's speculative behaviors, but he can't tolerate him not doing things seriously and not working hard!
What he ordered was a book that would be enough to survive for future generations, but what did the Hanlin Academy offer?
When he is illiterate? How dare you fool him like this?!
Think the things you are carrying around your neck are too heavy and want to move the place?
"Bai Yan returned."
The emperor called people, and he couldn't pretend to be the background anymore, Bai Yanhui immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "The slave is here." β
"Call me Xie Jin! Immediately! β
"Yes!"
Bai Yanhui exited the Warm Pavilion, called two little eunuchs, asked Qing Xie Jin and Huang Huai to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion today, nodded, and immediately led people there.
In the duty room, Scholar Xie and Huang Bianxiu were frowning at the edict that was about to be sent to Daning.
Among the seven people in Wenyuan Pavilion, Huang Huai was in charge of the edict and knew the Son of Heaven's favor to Xingning Bo and Dingguo Gong. The rewards are continuous, and every three or five times there is an edict to praise a few words. During this period, the turmoil set off by the Daning Metropolitan Division of the DPRK and China has not subsided, but the amount of money, money and cloth sent to Daning and Beijing has not decreased, and has even tended to increase.
Putting down the pen and looking at the newly drafted edict, Huang Huai and Xie Jin couldn't help but sigh when they met each other.
Rewarding Xing Ningbo and Dingguo Gong, isn't it the Son of Heaven showing his attitude to show his respect for the King of Han and the King of Zhao.
The Son of Heaven intended to set up the guards of the King of Han and the King of Zhao, both of which were 57,000, but the King of Ping remained in the capital and did not let him become a vassal.
On the surface, this is the Son of Heaven's treatment of the eldest son, which is a favor.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows very well.
If you don't have a domain, you don't have a guard, you don't hold a fiefdom, and although you can listen to the government, you don't have the right to make decisions.
If King Ping is crowned crown prince, according to the current meaning of the Son of Heaven, the date of canonization is far away. Even Xie Jin and others, who strongly supported Zhu Gaochi, were depressed by the Son of Heaven's reprimands several times, not to mention the wavering ministers in the court?
When he was repairing books in the Hanlin Academy, Xie Jin had a long talk with Huang Huai and others, and the conclusions he came to were not optimistic. But due to the emperor's order, he was not allowed to go out of the Hanlin Academy, and there was no good way to do it after all.
Now that the book has been completed, everyone has returned to the court and found a way to level the king's throne, which has become the most urgent thing at the moment.
The king of Han and the king of Han turned over the border fortress of the northern frontier, and they made great achievements and became more and more famous. The guards were set up, and there was the support of military generals, and the wings were gradually growing, and in the long run, it was very unfavorable to King Ping.
But the past experience made Xie Jin and Huang Huai dare not act rashly.
If you are not careful, King Ping will completely lose the Sacred Heart.
King Han and King Zhao are concubines, but the three sons of the Son of Heaven are all from Queen Xu, and the identity of the same son-in-law symbolizes a lot of competitiveness. There is also the preference of the Son of Heaven, and the situation is very unfavorable to King Ping.
"Brother Zongyu, in your opinion, the Son of Heaven ......"
In the duty room, Xie Jin and Huang Huai were discussing the content of the edict in a low voice, so as to speculate on the meaning of the Son of Heaven.
Outside the door, Bai Yanhui had arrived in a hurry, and the scribe who delivered the curtain meal did not know Bai Yanhui, and saw that he was wearing a narrow-sleeved shirt with a plate collar and a hat with black gauze and gold curled feet, and he also knew that he was a high-grade servant, at least a young eunuch, and immediately saluted.
The two little eunuchs who followed Bai Yanhui did not say anything, the rules in the palace, the chief eunuch and the high-grade chamberlain were in front, and they did not have the right to speak. Want to show it? The benefits are not obtained, and the board is certain.
"Our family was ordered to find the Bachelor."
Bai Yanhui was a eunuch who served people, but he also followed Emperor Yongle to be born and die on the battlefield.
In front of the Son of Heaven, he didn't dare to speak loudly, in the eyes of these unpopular scholars, it was definitely a mountain that could not be climbed.
Emperor Yongle reused eunuchs because of his loyalty and talent, and it had little to do with suppressing the courtiers. For example, Zheng He, Wang Jinghong, Hou Xian, Bai Yanhui, etc., if it were not limited by their own conditions, if they changed their identities to become officials, they might not be far behind.
At this point, the eunuchs after the Yongle Dynasty, except for a few, could not catch up with the horses at all.
Seeing Bai Yanhui's cold face and saying that he wanted to find Xie Jin, the clerk had a sudden break in his heart, and he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately led Bai Yanhui to the duty room.
Xie Jin and Huang Huai were stunned when they heard that the emperor had summoned them.
Could it be that there is something important to order?
"Our family is only ordered to summon, and the rest, our family is not clear." Bai Yan put his hands back on his sleeves, "Your Majesty summons Bachelor Xie, please come with our family." β
This is not just polite, it is not much different from Jinyi Wei's people.
The literati have always looked down on military generals, let alone eunuchs. If he hadn't been pulled by Huang Huai, Xie Jin would have been angry on the spot.
Bai Yan squinted his eyes back, disdainful in his heart.
Our family can see the mind clearly at a glance, will the Son of Heaven not know the way?
That's it, still thinking about the work of the dragon?
Dreaming.
The sky was dark, a fireman was leading the way with a lantern, Bai Yanhui didn't have the heart to talk to Jiejin, sooner or later he had to go to see the people of the Yama-Wang-Ye, why bother to deal with him?
Xie Jin is not a stupid person after all, looking at Bai Yanhui who was in a hurry, a wave of uneasiness swelled in his heart.
When I arrived at the West Warm Pavilion of the Carrier Palace, the palace lights reflected the faces of the attendants in front of the door, and the feeling of unease was even worse.
Bai Yan glanced back at him and stepped inside first.
Soon, the voice of the Son of Heaven came from the warm pavilion, "Please come in." β
The cold tone made Xie Jinsheng shudder, and he couldn't help but think of the time when he was dismissed and sent back by Emperor Tai-Zu-Gao.
Xie Jin walked into the warm pavilion with a hard head, bowed down and bowed, "The minister will see Your Majesty." β
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind sounded in my ears.
Xie Jin subconsciously dodged for a while, and looked fixedly, the two books were spread out on the stone bricks, which were the "Literature Dacheng" that he was responsible for editing, and his heart trembled.
"Your Majesty?"
"Xie Jin, I ask you, is my order not worth mentioning in your eyes?"
Xie Jin's face immediately turned white, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" Don't dare! β
"You still ask me?!"
Zhu Di was furious, walked up to Xie Jin in a few big steps, threw another book to the ground, and said sharply: "What did you say when you were repairing the book?!" How did you say yes and how? I ordered you to build a book that encompasses the world's learning, and this is how you deal with me? Yes?! β
Xie Jin suddenly sweated like rain, "The minister doesn't dare, the minister ......"
"Don't you dare? I see how dare you! Emperor Yongle laughed angrily, "I am good at martial arts, but I am not a reckless man who can't read big characters!" Dare to fool me, let me become a joke in the mouth of the world, so bold! β
Xie Jin didn't dare to continue arguing, so he fell to the ground and kept pleading.
In fact, he was speechless either.
He knew better than anyone else how well the book was being repaired.
I thought that the revision of the book was just a whim of the emperor for the world to see, and he would not ask too much. Dao Yan's reminder, he didn't pay attention to it. The Son of Heaven has all kinds of opportunities, just read the general outline of the catalog, how can you read it carefully?
For Xie Jin, completing the task as soon as possible and re-participating in the government is the most important thing at present.
No, he completely guessed the emperor's mind and provoked the wrath of the thunder.
At this moment, everything from the dragon's work, the court-turning-cloud-covering-rain, were all thrown out of the clouds. He wasn't even sure if he would be able to get out of Xinuan Pavilion alive.
Xie Jin fell to the ground and kept pleading guilty.
Emperor Yongle picked up a book from the imperial case again, and pulled it in half with both hands.
Broken paper fell from the top of his head, accompanied by the emperor's cold voice, "Xie Jin, I will give you another chance, the last one!" β
The subtext is that if you dare to fool things with such an attitude this time, what the consequences will be, weigh it yourself!
Xie Jin walked out of Xinuan Pavilion sweating profusely, and when he stepped out of the door, it was as if he had escaped.
Rao is wearing a cotton robe, and his back is also wet with sweat.
Emperor Yongle stood in the warm pavilion, his expression was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and those who were familiar with him knew that this was a sign that he was going to kill.
Bai Yanhui didn't let the little eunuch follow, he bent down to pick up the paper that was torn by Zhu Di, waited until the hall was cleaned up, and waited carefully for Zhu Di to speak.
"Bring these with you, too." Zhu Di pointed to the few remaining books on the imperial case, "Send them back to the Hanlin Academy together, pass on the oracle, the court raises them, and let them do things." If you can't do it, I'll let them do it! β
"The slave obeys."
Bai Yanhui picked up the scroll and exited the warm pavilion.
The next day, Emperor Yongle summoned Daoyan, and the monarch and ministers discussed for half an hour, and then, the palace issued an order to reprimand the book that Hanlin had entered was not prepared and rebuilt.
and officially ordered that Yao Guangxiao, the young master of the crown prince, Liu Jizhen, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and Xie Jin, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, were the presidents and were in charge of the revision of books.
Monk Daoyan couldn't suppress this group of Hanlin alone, so Zhu Di simply transferred the squire of the Criminal Department to suppress the formation. If you dare to take Dao Yan's words seriously, you will go directly to the prison of the Criminal Department for Chinese New Year's Eve.
He also ordered Wang Jing, a bachelor of Hanlin, Wang Da, a bachelor of waiting, Hu Yan, a wine priest of the country, Yang Pu of the Department of Economic Affairs, and Chen Ji, a Confucian scholar, as the chief judge. The attendants of the Hanlin Academy talked about Zou Ji, edited Wang Bao, Liang Qian, Wu Pu, Li Guan, Yang Jian, Cao Di, edited Zhu Hong, reviewed Wang Hong, Jiang Ji, Pan Ji, Wang Li, Su Bohou, Zhang Boying, Liang Yongxing, Shu Jishi Yang Xiang, Yin Changlong, Zongrenfu experienced Gao Deyang, the official Lang Zhong Ye Li, and Shandong according to the judge Yan Bi as the deputy - general - referee.
At the same time, the Ministry of Rites selected - selected - officials in the DPRK and China, and visited the old Confucian of the folk dormitory to compile it.
In addition, the provinces were ordered to set up the government, the border guards were guarded, and the prefecture and county schools and rural scholars were recommended to enter Beijing and be filled with writing.
The staff was summoned and the library was opened in Wenyuan Pavilion to repair books.
Book repairers, etc., court officials give money, students give rice, and those who have no merit give treasure money and cloth.
Emperor Yongle also decreed that during the revision of the book, all food and lodging would be provided by the imperial court.
Rent is subsidized, and there are working meals for meals. Two meals a day, not full, not good to eat, directly ask the sin Guanglu Temple.
After the order was issued, Xie Jin and the others did not dare to raise any objections. Didn't you see that the servants of the criminal department were all sent? If you want Ansheng to go home for the New Year, you have to follow the will of the Son of Heaven and repair this book, and there can be no mistakes.
Someone in the court was sparse, saying that this move would cost the people and money, and asked the Son of Heaven to think twice. Besides, the Hanlin Academy has entered the "Literature Dacheng" before, what is the Son of Heaven not satisfied with? It is not a good thing to be happy with great achievements, and it is fundamental to govern the country through diligence and thrift.
It's okay not to mention "The Great Completion of Literature", but when it comes to "The Great Completion of Literature", Zhu Di is angry, looking at some people in the court, his eyes are very unkind.
Perhaps sensing the danger to his life, without waiting for Emperor Yongle to speak, Xie Jin jumped out first, opened fire on the courtiers of Shangshu, and quoted the words of the saints, according to the things of the sages, listed a number of Ming Jun, and even directly linked the cultivation of books to the rule of Yao Shunyu Tang.
Under the foam, the ministers were dumbfounded and speechless.
The fierceness of the firepower of the great talent can be seen.
Emperor Yongle bowed his head and kept it to relieve him, which is still somewhat useful.
Yang Duo, the commander of the brocade guards who was ordered to stare at Xie Jin and the others, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, wearing a big red brocade robe, trimming his eyebrows and thin lips, even if he was smiling, it still made people feel an indescribable coldness.
Xie Jin's firepower-madness-fierceness, super-level play, Huang Huai, Li Guan and others assisted on the side, Hanlin was collectively furious, and Yushi had to stand aside in the matter.
The Son of Heaven ordered the revision of the book, which is a good thing for the benefit of all the people and the future generations, and it can also solve the problem of temporary employment for many people.
As soon as these words came out, the matter of repairing the book should be approved by the palace.
The courtiers all knew that the official group was not easy to mess with, and if they got into trouble, they would be covered in mud if they didn't fall into the water. Except, of course, for such fierce men as Xingningbo.
Compared with the Yanguan, the Hanlin Academy is even more difficult to mess with. After all, Yanguan is just a fighter in the court, and he will die five or six grades to the end, and the Hanlin Academy is the cradle of cultivating bigwigs from all departments.
offended the official, at most he was scolded for facial nerve disorders. If you offend Hanlin, you have to be careful. Once the other party is in power, and accidentally promoted to a cabinet scholar, don't think about it, hurry up and pack up your package.
You don't need a scholar to do it, and there are people below who are gearing up, hoping to get the appreciation of the big guy by cleaning up someone.
Impeachment, suppression, all kinds of - official-field - bullying - bullyingββ, in short, bullying people is not negotiable. It's okay to meet a strong emperor, but if you change to a less manageable one, the consequences can be imagined.
The controversy in the court subsided for the time being, and the edict to summon the virtuous people was soon issued to various places.
Daning is located in the northern part of Xinjiang, and received the edict later than other provinces.
After the edict arrived, Meng invited the teachings of Confucianism and Weixue to explain the matter.
"You should be selected in the school and send the list to the metropolitan office, and those who meet the conditions of the edict will be recommended by this official."
The teachings and disciplines led the way, and soon the list of statistics was sent to Meng by the capital.
A thin piece of paper, the names on the paper, full of counts, can be counted by two slaps, and half of them are Confucian masters.
Meng looked at the capital and asked suspiciously, "There are only six people?" But the conditions of others do not match, and they retreat? β
Du Shi shook his head and said: "Go back to the town guard, the list on the school report is all here, and no one has been crossed out of the lowly position." β
Scratching his chin, a row of question marks appeared on Meng's head.
No, according to the statistics of the number of Confucianism and Weixue in Daning, the ratio is completely wrong. Eliminate the Tatars and Jurchens, and then remove those who prepare for the imperial examination and martial arts, and at the same time reduce the Tai Pavilion body that is not up to the mark, there should not be only such a few people.
Those convicts sent from the capital to support teaching, half-tied Confucian teachers, don't they want to take the opportunity to return to Beijing?
Or is it that everyone has collectively raised their ideological consciousness and is determined to take root in the frontier and serve the country?
The capital said that this subordinate did not know. However, after the list was sent, two people approached him and wanted to do something to cross their names off the list submitted. The reason is simple, the handwriting is not good.
"Really?"
Du Shi nodded, "Really." β
"How?"
Du Shi's expression was subtle, "These two people said, their right hand was accidentally smashed by a brick, and they will write with their left hand in three months." I have seen it in my humble position, and it is indeed injured. β
Meng: "......"
The edict of the imperial court is written to repair the book, not to serve hard labor, can it be used to the point of self-mutilation?
Looking at everything, and then looking at the names on the paper, Meng shook his head, picked up the pen, and crossed out the names of the two.
The matter has come to this point, people are unwilling, so they can't be tied up to Nanjing, right?
After verifying the conditions of the remaining four people, only two talents recommended by Daning remained.
The list was sent to Beijing, and Shen Xuan was silent.
Looking at the list recommended by King Han and King Zhao, he was even more speechless.
Shuntian Eight Mansions, Daning Zhuwei, the land of Xuanfu, Guangning Kaiyuan, recommended ten talents?
pinched his forehead, and set the country's public heart horizontally, ten will be ten, and report it truthfully!
In the land of the border fortress, the people are fierce, and they still need the work of education, and the Son of Heaven should be able to understand.
In December of the second year of Yongle, the list of talents recommended by various prefectures and counties was successively sent to Beijing.
After the second round of selection by the imperial court, the selected Confucian students will leave for Beijing after the year to participate in the revision of books. The vast majority of them have no idea what kind of event they are going to be involved in. The purpose of many people entering Beijing is nothing more than to pave the way for future imperial examinations and officialdom.
In the same month, the Japanese tributary division landed in Ningbo and, under the "escort" of the Ming Guards, went to Nanjing.
Zheng He's fleet had set sail from Japan and continued southward to Annam on the orders of the emperor.
The silk, porcelain, and tea carried by the fleet were exchanged for a lot of gold and silver in Japan and the Ryukyu Islands.
The people sent by Xingningbo were a bit maverick, and in addition to gold and silver, they also "changed" five or six craftsmen, all of whom were good at making Japanese knives. On board, these widows were kept under centralized supervision. Zheng He knew about it, so he specially sent someone to inquire, and Ding Qianhu, who was with the ship, personally visited Zheng He and took out Meng's handwritten letter.
After reading the letter, Gonggong Zheng didn't say a word, and also joined the ranks of substitutions.
Don't change?
If you don't change it, you have to change it! Those who resist must be the Japanese robbers, and they will all be arrested!
Zheng He's substitution was strongly supported by Wang Jinghong.
Soon, the people sent by King Han and King Zhao noticed the clues and wanted to follow, but unfortunately it was too late. Fortunately, Ding Qianhu informed that Xingning Bo said that the craftsmen in exchange for this time would give a batch to the two highnesses free of charge. Of course, the big head still has to be dedicated to the Son of Heaven.
After a few words, everyone smiled and laughed.
It can be seen that although the former Mukushiro has been away from the civilian army for a long time, his ability has not been left behind.
Ding Qianhu can be a man, can do business, and more importantly, he is not seasick!
Choosing Ding Qianhu to go to the East with Zheng He, Meng Du had to praise his ability to know people, and he really had a unique vision.
As a result, in Zheng He's fleet, there was an additional Ding Qianhu who had won the true legend of Xingningbo, and the history of going to the West would also be different because of this.
