In September of the sixth year of Yongle, Shuowang looked at the court, and the Ministry of Rites went to the north to patrol the Son of Heaven.

"The husband patrols the fortunate ones, the emperor's major affairs, people from all over the world come to see him. In this regard, the officers and soldiers must not be careless. In addition to Rong Yiwei, Sheng Jingwei, Bannerman Guard, and Jinyi Guard, it is more appropriate to pre-select strong and powerful people in each guard, and increase the number of followers, so as to be prepared. ”

"The holy drive passed, and the prince left the city to greet him. The king of the county, the general of the town, the general of the auxiliary state, the general of the Fengguo, the lieutenant of the town, the lieutenant of the auxiliary state, the lieutenant of the Fengguo, the county lord, the county monarch, and the guest of honor all follow this example. ”

"The town guards, the three divisions, the officials, the military and the people meet in the territory, and they are not allowed to leave the country unless they are summoned."

"The supply of the road is frugal, so as not to disturb the people's contributions."

"Traveling through the provincial capital, state and county, where there are important things and four Yi to enter the table, all speed up to the royal driving line. The trivial things were sent to Wenyuan Pavilion, and then sent to the imperial front. ”

Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, held the wat board in his hand, methodically, and played the relevant articles one by one.

Emperor Yongle sometimes bowed his head, sometimes frowned, but never interrupted Zheng Ci.

"Your Majesty is fortunate to be a major event of the country, and all the things are established, and they should be announced to the world."

The words fell, and Zheng Shangshu bowed down.

Emperor Yongle did not raise any objections, and immediately issued an order to order the officials of the entourage to follow the regulations of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Majesty."

Zheng Shangshu got up and retreated to the left shift. When he stood still, his face was slightly pale, he covered it with wide sleeves, swallowed a few times, and finally did not cough in the temple.

Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood on the left side of Zheng Ci, and when he saw this, he asked in a low voice, "Is Zheng Zongbo unwell?" ”

"No problem." Zheng Ci shook his head, his voice hoarse, "It's just an old disease." ”

Xia Yuanji didn't ask again, the place and time were not suitable.

Jianyi, the secretary of the ministry, and Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department, exchanged a look, and their faces were clear.

Since the middle of the year, Zheng Ci has taken leave many times. A few months ago, Zheng Fu invited a doctor to go to the hospital, and Liu Yuanju personally went to diagnose and treat him. After several months of recuperation, the condition did not improve, but became more and more serious. I can't say it, when the Son of Heaven returns from his northern tour, the Ministry of Rites will be replaced.

The left waiter of the Ministry of Rites is upright and talented, but he is rarely flexible. The right waiter is good at drilling camps, and his character is flawed, which is disliked by the superiors. In the early years, he was the head of the Criminal Department of the Guozi Supervision and Birth Bureau, and the deputy envoy of the Inspectorate Department of Beiping was relocated to Beiping. If he hadn't been involved in the Qingzhou case in Shandong and had been sentenced to death in prison, he would have recommended Zheng Ci.

No matter how helpless you are, people are already dead.

It is rumored that evidence of a private-alliance king has been found from Xu Shilang's house, and he will no longer have anything to do with him if he kills Zheng Ci. On weekdays, old friends, classmates and colleagues also run as far as they can, and I hate to cut off the relationship when he is alive.

Why is Xie Jin belittled again and again? One of the reasons is that he got too close to King Ping.

Courtiers-private-knot-vassal kings, to put it more seriously, are guilty of complicity in rebellion. Even if it is the emperor's own son, the evidence is conclusive, and the punishment is still severe.

Xu Shilang is looking for death by himself, no wonder others.

Similarly, King Ping, who was far away in Guizhou, also made Emperor Yongle even more displeased.

After the early dynasty, the palace sent an envoy from the Tai Hospital Zhao Yuan to the palace to diagnose Zheng Shangshu's pulse.

The results of the diagnosis of the Zhao Yuan were the same as those of the Liu Yuan, the old disease, the old age, the resignation and recuperation or the number of years of life, and the continuation of the court, I am afraid that there will not be many springs and autumns.

After listening to the report, Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and ordered to open the inner warehouse, take high-grade medicinal materials and treasure 500 ingots and send them to the Zheng Mansion.

"Give this kind person, be kind and straightforward, and be a great talent for the country." Emperor Yongle lifted the pen, spun it down and put it down, only to ask Bai Yan to send back the message, "Spread my words and tell him to live and recuperate." ”

"The slave obeys."

Exiting the Warm Pavilion, Bai Yan sent people back to inform the celebrant and the inner official supervisor that the inner treasury of the Son of Heaven would be opened, even if there was a holy will, the two eunuchs must be called.

After Gonggong Bai left, the Jinyi guard commanded Yang Duo to ask him to meet.

"Xuan."

Emperor Yongle casually flipped through a note, looked at it twice, and then threw it aside.

Jinyiwei reported that the Susong counties were flooded, but there was a division but they didn't hear it. handed over the recital, but what did the juniper flower say, I don't know what to do! Compared with the Qingzhou-Corruption-Mo case, the two governments and three divisions must be held accountable!

"Your Majesty!" Yang Duo knelt down and saluted.

"Up." Zhu Di asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Guizhou returned, King Ping set up Confucianism privately in Pu'an Prefecture, and several great Confucians rushed to the city."

Zhu Di raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like electricity.

"Is there any evidence?"

Yang Duo took out the prepared slip and presented it to the imperial case.

In less than 100 words, it lists in detail the various courses taught by the Confucianism Institute. and the name and surname of the Confucian teacher, whether he has been requisitioned by the imperial court and is an official in the court.

Pinching the strip, Zhu Di's eyes were red with anger, and he laughed angrily.

On this piece of paper, at least three people have been requisitioned by the imperial court, but they hold the shelf and refuse to give him face. Now he takes the initiative to throw himself into King Ping and teach in Confucianism? In the eyes of these scholars, he is not as good as his son?!

Well, that's good!

Zhu Di was furious, like a tiger trying to choose someone to eat.

Yang Duo stood silent, neither happy nor angry.

"Yang Duo."

"The minister is here."

"Send someone to Pu'an Prefecture again." Clenching the thin rice paper little by little and holding it in the palm of his hand, Zhu Di said word by word, "The people above have all 'invited' me to come to the capital." ”

"Obey."

Yang Duo took the order and withdrew from the warm pavilion.

The sun is still dazzling.

Yang Duo narrowed his eyes slightly, and the tails of his narrow eyes seemed to be sharp. The eunuch standing by the door couldn't help but take a step back and shuddered. This Yang commander is becoming more and more unpopular.

Returning to Fusi in Weibei Town, Jinyi, Yang Duo immediately sent Tongzhi Jigang to rush to Guizhou with more than a dozen school captains.

"When you return, the Son of Heaven will not be in the capital. People are put in the edict first, and there is no need to be punished, and they will wait for the Son of Heaven to return from his northern tour. ”

"Yes!"

Ji Gang took the order, walked out of the front hall of the Zhenfu Division, personally ordered people, prepared horses and road guides, and galloped out before the city gate was closed.

Impeachment of Jin Yiwei?

Want to use Jinyiwei as a stepping stone?

Ji Gang sneered, what about the prince, and what about the support of the scholars? A blunt knife can cut meat hundreds of times more painful than a knife.

For Yang Duo, Ji Gang admired, but more fear.

The news reported by the spies is not a big deal when viewed separately. In normal times, Confucianism was established, and King Ping might still be rewarded. But just in time for Xu Sien's incident, the Son of Heaven was not in a good mood, and he was reported by the command, which immediately attracted the wrath of thunder.

If there was still a trace of dissatisfaction with Yang Duo before, since then, Ji Gang will not be able to regain the slightest desire to win.

offended Jinyiwei, there is still a 1 in 10,000 chance of survival. Facing off with Commander Yang, he really sharpened his head and looked for death.

Impeachment of Commander Yang?

Who came up with the idea?

Soon after Ji Gang's departure, Emperor Yongle issued two decrees, reprimanding King Ping for "not observing right and wrong, from the words of villains, not following the etiquette law, and violating the precepts of Emperor Gao", and gave King Ping a book to introspect himself.

"Erju in the deep palace, the way of Confucianism, do not listen to foreign affairs, and the villains on the left and right are all blessed. is even more with the traitorous generation, who does not notice right and wrong, and lets them do what they do, and discredits the military and the people. Today, the book is given to order Er to introspect, go to slanderers, and those who are guilty will be sent to the capital with weapons. Don't listen to the villain, it's not too late to repent. ”

Zhu Di's tone was not harsh, and the Pingwang Mansion - Secret - Knot - Courtiers, Pingwang - Private - Set - Confucianism were not mentioned. But such a "kind" tone made Zhu Gao cold to the bone.

Subsequently, Zhu Di issued another order to cut down King Ping's Lumi. It was reduced from 8,000 stone to 6,000 stone, a difference of 4,000 stone from King Han and King Zhao.

The decree was issued, and the courtiers who supported King Ping were secretly not good.

On the surface, the Son of Heaven did not lower the title of king, but in fact, he had already lost two younger brothers.

After being reprimanded, Zhu Gaochi immediately went to the table to show himself, saying that he was deceived by others and committed a wrong thing, which made his father angry. However, there is the virtue of benevolence, people are not evil, and there are officials and subordinates who make mistakes, please detain the palace and practice probation and teaching.

Empress Xu did not intercede for her eldest son, but only said not to involve her eldest grandson.

Emperor Yongle pressed the table of King Ping and ordered to reduce King Lumi again.

The son has the virtue of benevolence, but Lao Tzu is fierce-evil-cruel-tyrannical? The means he used were all leftovers from his play, and he was really unrepentant!

The eldest son of the emperor, the prince of the palace, Lu Mi is only 4,500 stones, which is less than the prince of the county.

Zhu Gaochi failed to jump out of the Six Realms after all, seeing that his father was ruthless, he didn't dare to play any tricks, and he no longer listened to the advice of the official staff and Princess Heping, and went to the table again, confessing his mistakes, and vowing to change his past. I just hope that my father can give some time and send the guilty person to Beijing.

Some courtiers wanted to speak for King Ping, but there was nowhere to start.

The Son of Heaven disposed of King Ping for a legitimate reason. Family affection and righteousness all stand still.

According to the law of the clan, King Ping did not demote the lord, but only reduced the rice, which was already a light punishment. I don't see other feudal kings who made mistakes, either imprisoned the Zongren Mansion, or demoted to a commoner, and sent to the border for labor reform. The lightest punishment also lost his title, so he could only be a rich man honestly.

Crying out for King Ping? Not feasible. In case of self-defeating, no one can be held responsible.

Knowing his father's current situation, Zhu Zhanji pleaded several times in front of Zhu Di, but Zhu Di could not be relieved.

Zhu Di was not annoyed, and only said to Dao Yan: "My eldest grandson is far a hundred times smarter than his father Wang, but it's a pity." ”

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Dao Yan recited the Buddha's name and did not answer.

Even if there is regret, the mind has been determined, and it will not change.

"Today, Xingningbo entered the palace to teach." Zhu Di's words changed, "Your master and apprentice haven't seen each other for a few days, but you want to go to Wenhua Hall with me?" ”

"Your Majesty has an order, and you dare not obey." Dao Yan stood up, although his eyebrows were white and he looked older, he didn't need anyone's support, and he walked very steadily.

In the Wenhua Palace, Meng lit the hanging "world map", foaming at the mouth.

The two princes and the two princes listened with fascination, and their eyes lit up.

The eunuch who only suffered from the picture, his arm was sore, and he had to wait until his shift to rest.

When Zhu Di and Dao Yan came, Meng Zheng talked about the bright prospects of opening up new routes, and listed the benefits that the fleet's voyage could bring back to the Ming Dynasty. The theme idea can be boiled down to one sentence, overseas is vast, there is gold everywhere, don't dig white, don't dig it!

After talking about overseas places, the topic turned to nearby Japan and the Ryukyus.

"The Japanese invaded our coast, and the officers and soldiers of the guard post could not be exterminated after repeated attacks, and it will become a big disaster in the long run."

Meng is not alarmist. Historically, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were indeed a cancer entrenched in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. In the later period, the fake Japanese were several times larger than the real ones, and in addition to the merchants and pirates, there were even officials who colluded with them, which was even more difficult to exterminate.

"The Japanese are not suffering from ringworm scabies, my mighty army of the Ming Dynasty, I can't exterminate such murderers, how can I appease the people?"

Don't overdo it.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui both fell into deep thought, Zhu Zhanji did not speak, and Zhu Zhanji was a little ignorant.

Outside the warm pavilion, Zhu Di raised his hand, did not let the eunuch report, and Daoyan stopped for a moment, but did not enter the warm pavilion, but turned to leave.

Beiyu, Nanwa, Liaodong Jurchen, Southwest Fanbang.

Thinking of the note handed by Jinyiwei, and comparing the content of Meng's teaching, Zhu Di stopped, looked at Dao Yan, and said with emotion: "The young master has accepted a good apprentice." ”

Dao Yan was modest and said with a smile: "Your Majesty also has a good courtier. ”

Zhu Di smiled, why envy the great monk, his own family, it is good to have ability.

Since you are talented, you should be rewarded.

After the class of the day, Meng was about to leave the palace, but Bai Yanhui was waiting outside the Wenhua Palace, saw Meng, smiled and saluted, and said, "Congratulations, uncle." ”

Meng paused for a moment, "What does Grandpa Bai mean?" ”

"Your Majesty has a decree to reward Xing Ningbo with one hundred taels of silver and five hundred ingots of treasure money."

Meng's eyes are round, for no reason, how can he reward money?

Bai Yanhui didn't say why, only smiled and pointed to the box in front of him, "The box has some weight, our family sent someone to the palace gate." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Bai."

Meng thanked him, but he still didn't understand where the reward came from.

However, it is always good for the Son of Heaven to give money. At most, he was squeezed by the old Zhu family a few more times. Anyway, I've long been used to being squeezed, and it's okay to come a few more times.

It's really not possible, so I'm looking for Grandpa Guo to get an idea. With the politics, governance, smell, and sense of the grandfather, whether the money should be taken or not, the answer can be given in the first time.

Bai Yanhui instructed the four eunuchs to send Meng to Fengtianmen, and he hurried back to Xinuan Pavilion to serve.

Carrying the box, all the way to the palace gate, the four eunuchs were sweating on their heads.

"Good work."

Uncle Meng has always been generous, and once he moved the box, the four eunuchs were all in the account. Xie Meng, explained to the brocade guard on duty in front of the door, and turned around and left a little reluctantly.

"Labor and send people to inform the official and personal guards."

When Meng entered the palace, the guards had to wait outside the palace, and if they wanted to find someone, they had to ask the Jinyi guard to run errands.

"Uncle, wait a minute."

The Jinyi Wei Baihu on duty was a fresh face, but he also knew that Xingningbo was "his own person", so he immediately called a small flag and gave a few orders, and the small flag promised and took the order.

After a while, the guards didn't wait, but they saw Yang Duo in a big red brocade dress walking towards him.

As evening approached, the temperature did not drop much. Standing in front of the palace gate, Meng had a thin layer of sweat, but Yang Duo was refreshed, and there was not a drop of sweat.

Uncle Meng admitted that he was envious and jealous.

It's all military attachés, why is it so bad?

"Yang is in command."

Yang Duo bowed his head, "Xingningbo is going out of the palace?" ”

"Exactly." Seeing that Yang Duo's gaze fell on the box at his feet, Meng explained, "Reward from the Son of Heaven." ”

"Congratulations, uncle."

"Don't dare."

Meng smiled, not knowing what to continue to say, and was cold for a while.

Suddenly, Yang Duo took half a step forward, leaned over, and a velvety voice slipped past Meng's ear, "The matter of the southwest is over, Uncle can be relieved." ”

After being stunned for a moment, Meng realized that the distance between the two seemed to be a little too close. Raising his head, Yang Duo had already retreated, Gao Fu and the others had already walked quickly, and after saluting, they lifted the box.

Taking the reins from the hands of the guards, Meng turned around, and Yang Duo was no longer in place. Thinking of what he just said, my heart moved.

Southwest?

Back at the Guogong Mansion, Meng Xun went to the middle hall and informed Shen Xuan of the reward of the Son of Heaven and Yang Duo's words in the original form

Putting down the half-seen military register, Shen Xuan slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes flowing, breathtaking, "Come here." ”

Meng was puzzled, but he passed honestly.

At that moment, Grandpa Guo clasped the back of Uncle Meng's neck, and his breath brushed his cheek, "Twelve Lang thinks, what does Commander Yang mean?" ”

"Southwest...... Is it Pu'an? ”

When it came to the answer, Meng was still a little hesitant.

Shen Xuan nodded and pinched Meng's earlobe, "This matter is over for the time being, Twelve Lang doesn't have to worry too much." ”

"......"

"If there is anything else, just leave it to Xuan."

Meng blinked, blinked again, Grandpa Guo's tone seemed to be a little ...... Dissatisfied?

Before he could fully understand, his lip had been bitten.

Facts have proved that trying to fully understand the mind of the second generation of Hou is still a difficult task for Uncle Meng.

In September of the sixth year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle went out of Nanjing and toured the northern Xinjiang.

Six Shangshu, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is seriously ill, the remaining five Shangshu, four people stay in Beijing, only the household Shangshu Xia Yuanji Suihu.

King Zhao of Han rode a horse, and Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhan Yan rode in a car. Meng was fortunate to be invited to the car, called a lecture, and actually had the duties of a "nanny".

A little boy, a three-headed body, from leaving Nanjing, all the way to why. EXCEPT FOR UNCLE MENG, EVEN THE THREE-HEADED FATHER CAN'T HOLD IT.

The royal driver was stationed in Shandong, and there were fast horses coming from the north to report, and the leader of Warat, Mahamu, gathered four troops, gathered-knot-4,000 cavalry, and defeated the Tatars again in the Aruhun River.

"It is reported that the remnants of the Tatars have fled to the Yuqu River with the intention of invading the guards of the Uliangha."

After the thousand households who reported the news finished speaking, from Emperor Yongle onwards, the civil and military officials who accompanied him were incredible. was defeated by Warat, couldn't escape for his life, and planned to attack Uliangha, invading-harassing-Ming border?

Emperor Yongle was puzzled, and he was as confused as Hu Wenwu.

As long as you have a normal mind, you will not make such a decision. Excluding Benjamin, this person is quite reasonable to speculate, is Arutai, who is known for his cunning, also crazy?

This posture is to think that the speed of Da Ming's troops is not fast enough?
