The next day, when the sky was just slightly bright, when ordinary people were still asleep, all the officials above the fifth rank in the Beijing Division had already bid farewell to the warm nest, left their wives and concubines, and braved the cold to come to the palace, ready to go to the morning court.

This court meeting is divided into a big court meeting and a small court meeting, the big court meeting was originally a three-day court, and it is also a big court meeting that will only be held every three days, and all officials above the fifth grade in Beijing must participate.

As for the small court meeting, it depends on the emperor's mood, sometimes it is opened every day, when the Haiyan River is clear, the small court meeting will be held together with the big court, and the people who participate in the small court meeting are all real court ministers, and the grade is at least three grades, and they are still the kind that holds real power, and most of them are also celebrities around the emperor.

This is the same as what everyone said in later generations, a meeting with a large number of people is not important, and there are not many people in an important meeting, in fact, it is almost the same.

Emperor Hongzhi's father, Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, is a lazy emperor, he often does not go to the big court, the small court does not open, and he is tired of being inseparable from Wan Guifei in the harem every day.

Emperor Hongzhi is just the opposite, he worked hard, very diligent in government affairs, and changed the original three-day court meeting to one day, sometimes even twice in the morning and evening.

As for the small court meetings, convening important cabinet ministers to discuss national affairs, etc., it was very frequent, and several ministers of the cabinet were almost wearing out the threshold of the palace.

It can be seen from here that Emperor Hongzhi's martial arts are not to mention, at least he is still a very diligent emperor.

The time of the early dynasty is very early, and if it is calculated as the time of the later generations, it is almost about 4 o'clock in the morning to go to the early dynasty.

At this point in time, in the summer, it is a little better, at most it is not good to sleep, at least it is not cold, but in winter, 4 o'clock in the morning is the time when the temperature is lowest.

In addition, at this time, the Xiaoice River period has come, and the winter is exceptionally cold, the north wind is howling, and the cold wind is cold, in such an environment, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty can rarely go to the early dynasty on time.

Many emperors will find reasons not to go to the early dynasty, and the Wanli Emperor has not been to the early dynasty for more than 20 years, even if Zhu Yuanzhang, who formulated this system, sometimes he really can't get up, and when he doesn't want to get up, he will find a reason not to go to the early dynasty.

To be honest, the time of this early dynasty is indeed too early, too inhumane, around 4 o'clock on the morning court, this is at least at least three o'clock to get up to prepare, such a point in time, is a person who is difficult to bear.

At this time, there is still a little time before the beginning of the early dynasty, and many ministers have come to the square outside the Taihe Gate one after another to gather, one by one stomping their feet, rubbing their hands, and gathering together in twos and threes to discuss what happened in the Moon Tower yesterday.

"You've all heard about what happened in Mochizuki Tower yesterday, right?"

"I've heard that some scholars are talking nonsense about the Golden Continent being full of gold, and there are cities built with gold."

"What's even more outrageous is that there are three high-yield crops in Golden Continent, which can yield dozens of stones per mu, which is a bit too much, who would believe it."

"Although the credibility of this Liu Jin's words is not high, his statement about the monsoon is very in line with the situation of our Ming Dynasty.

"It's just some sideways, and governing the country still depends on the loyalty and filial piety of our Holy Sect."

“……”

In the midst of everyone's discussion, the time quickly reached the time of the early dynasty, and with the door of the Taihe Gate slowly opened, many ministers who had been discussing it also stopped talking one by one, sorted out their clothes, and then divided into two columns according to their respective grades, official positions, etc., to prepare for the court.

The civil officials were headed by Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, with Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and other ordinary civil ministers, and the military generals were headed by the British Duke Zhang Mao, and with the Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Fu and other noble generals.

After a set of cumbersome ceremonies, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs entered the Taihe Palace, and without waiting too long, Emperor Hongzhi came, and after chanting long live, the court meeting was officially started.

"If there is something to do, there is no capital to retreat."

The voice of filial piety resounded in every corner of the Taihe Temple, which was a routine practice.

"The minister has his own music."

As soon as the words fell, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up.

There were a few ministers who also had a notebook, and when they saw Ma Wensheng standing up, they immediately stood back with interest.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded lightly and motioned for Ma Wensheng to continue.

"Your Majesty, the minister received an urgent report from Guizhou last night, Shuixi Tusi Andingxi recently rebelled and led troops to attack Guiyang, Guizhou, fortunately it has been defeated by the Guiyang garrison, but Guizhou has suffered heavy losses, and Huang Yunqing, the political envoy of Guizhou, asked His Majesty to send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible."

The first time was the militaristic event of the Guizhou Tusi Rebellion, and the problem of Yunnan-Guizhou Tusi has always been a big problem.

Yunnan-Guizhou region, the mountains and rivers are steep, the road is rugged, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, since ancient times, the emperor of the mountain is far away, the emperor of the soil here is the toast, these toasts have always been good when they are obedient, once there is no benefit, or feel that the benefits are not enough, immediately make a fuss.

Almost every once in a while, there will be a rebellion of the Tusi, and the light ones will soon be quelled, and when they are serious, the entire land in the Yunnan-Guizhou region will unite against the imperial court, and it may take several years to fight a dozen times.

"Immediately dispatch troops from Sichuan, Guangxi, and Hunan provinces into Guizhou, and we must quell the rebellion in Shuixi Tusi as soon as possible.

Emperor Hongzhi is also very experienced in dealing with this matter, not once or twice, there is a rebellion that naturally has to be suppressed, however, he knows that the suppression of Gui suppression, but the matter must not be expanded, the Tusi problem in the Yunnan-Guizhou region is really not something that can be solved overnight.

"Obey~"

Ma Wensheng replied respectfully, and the other ministers also nodded slightly, this way of dealing with it is the most appropriate, the court has no money, it is not appropriate to make a big move, it is naturally the best to be able to appease this rebellious Tusi, if you can't appease, you can also make preparations with both hands, and use both to suppress and appease.

"The minister has his own music."

As soon as Ma Wensheng returned to his position, Zhou Jing, the head of the household, stood up again and said: "The weather has been cold recently, the weather is cold, and the Jingshi has found hundreds of people who have frozen to death. ”

"At the same time, according to the law of previous years, once the winter is too cold, there will be changes in the northern Tatars and Warats, and I ask Your Majesty to prepare as soon as possible."
