For several days in a row, the political arena of Beijing was busy, and all kinds of officials have been talking about the Hannaji incident. There are those who are in favor of taking in, there are also those who are against taking in, and even more so, they even suggest that Hannaji be killed directly and sacrificed to the flag.

However, for three days, the emperor did not issue an edict or reply, and the cabinet did not inform the six ministries and the yamen of the final decision on this issue, giving people the impression that neither the emperor nor the cabinet had made up their minds.

The ones who really went up one after another, insisting on taking in Han Naji, were Wang Chonggu, Fang Fengshi and Wu Dui.

Of these three, Wang Chonggu was the governor of Xuanda, Fang Fengshi was the governor of Datong, and Wu Dui, a high-arched protégé, was the newly appointed governor of Xuanfu.

That is to say, the three main border ministers in charge of the second town of Xuanda have fully accepted the surrender of Hannaji, and the "main battle faction" forces in Beijing are therefore distressed, but due to the particularity of the border ministers, it is generally not easy to be impeached, so everyone has to go up one after another, asking the emperor to quickly make up his mind and issue an edict to calm the people's hearts.

On the fourth day, the emperor chose to follow the edict and formally issued an edict through the cabinet: accept the surrender of Hannaji.

However, the cabinet gave a certain explanation for this seemingly overly simple edict, saying through various channels: accepting Hannaji's surrender does not mean that the imperial court is afraid of Alta, on the contrary, it is a sign of fearlessness towards Alta - after all, accepting Hannaji's surrender is likely to directly provoke Alta, and now Alta's army has not only returned to Toyosu River, but also issued a Great Khan Golden Order from the Toyoshu River Khan's Court, and is further gathering troops, and it seems that it is about to fight a big fight. In this case, I still insist on accepting Hannaji to vote, this is not fearless and what is it?

This statement can barely be recognized by the main battle faction, but at the same time, they have gone up one after another, saying that they should order the local border ministers to reorganize their armaments, strictly guard against death, and give me a little color to see.

Normally, the emperor's response to this kind of sparseness would usually be only three words: Got it.

But this time was different, the emperor solemnly told the ministers through Zhu Pi, the celebrant supervisor: He had asked the border troops in various places to strengthen their defenses, and at the same time, he was also discussing with the cabinet to send people to inspect the second town of Xuanda in person.

When the officials of the Beijing Division heard this, they all celebrated with their crowns, looking at their eyebrows and puffing up, as if they had won a big victory and captured me to sacrifice the Taimiao.

However, in the early morning of the fifth day, this celebratory atmosphere suddenly turned into a collective stunned.

Because on this day, the emperor issued another decree: the engineering department will be given to the middle of the matter, Wen Daitian will inspect Xuanda and other defense and armament matters; The prince accompanied Gao Shipra to observe the political and military affairs on behalf of the prince.

Engineering is given to the middle of the matter Cheng Wen is Gao Gong's protégé, and Gao Gong is to support the acceptance of Han Naji, by him on behalf of the day to inspect Xuanda, the hundred officials are still understandable, after all, the people themselves are the officials of the Dao, although generally speaking, the inspection of the place should be done by the Thirteen Dao Supervision Imperial History, but the section chief is not impossible, after all, the Kedao family.

It's just that this matter of inspecting defense should not be handed over to the military department? How do you send out all the engineering departments to the middle of the matter? Is it enough to just inspect the fortifications and fortresses in various places?

Doubts are doubts, but this problem is not too big, and everyone hesitates for a while and admits it.

What I really don't understand is the second article: the prince accompanies Gao Pragmatic to observe the political and military affairs on behalf of the prince.

The prince accompanied the prince to read the government on behalf of the prince, and there was no problem with the first half of the sentence, but ...... Let him go to watch the political propaganda of defense and armaments?

Your Majesty, you're not kidding, are you? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only a few years old, so it is necessary to observe the political declaration of defense and armaments? How old is he Gao Shipra, and he has the ability to watch politics on behalf of the prince? Don't just arrived at Xuanda, I answered the army and scared the little "bachelor" who watched politics on behalf of the prince into peeing his pants, right? Although everyone didn't take his "fake bachelor" seriously, no matter what, it was also a special order of the "bachelor" master, if he was scared to pee by the northern captives, the officials in the world would be disgraced!

But fortunately, this holy decree has the following: the prince must only watch and not speak, only listen and not speak, and only investigate and not investigate.

Seeing this supplementary explanation, the big guy is finally not as "uneasy" as he was just now, and he estimated in his heart that this was probably another temporary decision made by His Majesty the Emperor on a whim and whim, and it was Cheng Wen's responsibility to really inspect the heavens. This pragmatic "little pavilion elder" is actually just going to travel at public expense, and when he comes back, he will hand over a travelogue to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Come on, anyway, our emperors of the Ming Dynasty have all kinds of wonders, especially in the last few generations of emperors, some like to be generals, some like to be Taoist priests, and it's not bad to be such a favorite madman today - after all, it's difficult for today's son, everyone bear with it, and it's okay to be considerate and considerate, no matter what, this master is always better than the first two in front of him, isn't it?

In this way, another prince's decree, which was obscured by the holy decree, was basically ignored by everyone.

Of course, as we all know, the relationship between the crown prince and the emperor is very delicate, as the crown prince, generally will not issue another fatwa on the matter that the emperor has already issued an edict or edict, so as to avoid misunderstandings between the monarch and the minister, father and son, plus now the prince is not even an adult, and the prince is not in the special premise of "supervising the country by order", generally speaking, the orders he issued are not even called fatwas.

But this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really issued a fatwa, and even directly attached to the emperor's edict, which is very interesting, but this fatwa was only noticed by a very small number of officials who really had high political acumen, such as Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and others.

The language of this prince's decree is straightforward - this is not surprising, the Ming Dynasty emperors have always been very straightforward when they gave orders, such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, who issued countless holy decrees in the vernacular, but later due to the special people who drafted the decree on behalf of the emperor, this situation gradually disappeared.

However, although the subordinate officials of the East Palace are now constant, they are not really responsible for the affairs of the East Palace, so there is no one to help write this decree of His Royal Highness the Prince, it is estimated that it is the original words of the prince, and the celebrant just copied it:

"Ordered Gao Shiyu to carefully investigate the defense and armament affairs of Xuanda Erzhen in detail, and to go to all kinds of places, no one can stop it, and no one is allowed to prevaricate on the questions raised by Gao Shiyu. After returning to Beijing after reading and observing the government, no one else is allowed to inquire about the affairs of the government, and he must immediately come to report on his work. ”
