It stands to reason that all the performances should go through the process of the political envoy - the cabinet - the celebrant - the Son of Heaven, but because the Yansui Governor Yamen is a three-sided key yamen, the concert actually skips the political envoy, the cabinet and the celebrant and directly presents the Son of Heaven.

Something big must be happening!

Xie Qian asked, "Do you know what happened yesterday?" ”

Li Dongyang shook his head slightly: "I won't know until noon." Yu Qiao, I look at the performance of your votes, all of them are reasonable, it seems that you have worked hard, I think that since yesterday, I have not rested, so I will take advantage of the noon to go back to the room to rest, and then talk about it! ”

The words were so sincere that Xie Qian was at a loss.

Xie Qian was a little undecided, I don't know if Li Dongyang was saying the opposite to sarcastically mock him? He replied: "I'm not sleepy, state affairs are tight." ”

Xie Qian thought that the day before yesterday I had just played "Stop the War", and if Bin Zhi learned today that I was looking for Shen Xi to replace the ticket, then I would really have no shame to stay in the cabinet anymore. However, whoever likes to sit in this position can sit, Wang Wei, Prince Liang, Wang Hua and others, whatever His Majesty arranges to fill it.

Xie Qian "gave up on himself", sat down after returning to his desk, picked up a notebook on the table, opened it and looked at it, and immediately startled him.

This transcript was an official document from three sides, and because the content seemed inconsequential, it was not intended to be sent to the celebrant for two days, but it was placed in the most conspicuous position by Shen Xi.

It is mentioned in the transcript that there have been frequent southward migrants in the northwest, and it is said that they are herdsmen of the northern tribes, and they are begged by the imperial court to find a way to settle them, otherwise they will be treated as northerners and taken into slavery.

Liu Daxia's comment on this was to go to the imperial court and ask the emperor to decide, because Liu Daxia wanted the emperor to absorb the Tatar herdsmen and settle them in a place to show the prestige of the great tomorrow.

Due to the small number of immigrants, it was only a policy, and not only did the envoys not pay attention to it, but even the trilateral governor Yamen himself did not regard it as an official document that should be immediately requested to receive a reply from the Son of Heaven, so he kept this manuscript in the cabinet for two days.

Originally, just looking at the content of the book, he didn't think it was like anything, but the handwriting of the proposed ticket drawn up by Shen Xi was exactly the same as Xie Qian's, which was his first surprise.

Xie Qian's first thought was: "When did Shen Xi'er learn my handwriting, and it was still so vivid?" Could it be that I wrote it myself when I was sleepy and confused, not Shen Xi's child? ”

But after the above content, Xie Qian was sure that he must not have written this kind of vote: "...... The frequent herdsmen going south are caused by the abnormal movement of soldiers and horses in the north, and the three sides should strictly prevent the invasion of the south. ”

Xie Qian pondered slightly, this vote was shocking enough, and he actually noticed that the Tatars might turn their passivity into initiative and invade the Ming frontier from the north.

Shen Xi wrote the ticket very straightforwardly, and the explanation of the matter was also very clear, so that everyone could understand it...... The content of the book itself is insignificant, but behind it is the great movements of the Tatars.

Xie Qian couldn't understand how Shen Xi judged it, let alone why Shen Xi imitated his handwriting.

Xie Qian continued to look through several transcripts, and without exception, Shen Xi imitated his handwriting and inscribed the drafts, which were detailed, and did not use the usual prevarication of some cabinet scholars to deal with the matter.

Xie Qian thought to himself: "It's really hard for this kid to not teach him some basic rules, but he did it so perfectly!" Could it be that this night, he read them one by one, and each one made a ticket draft? One night, is it enough? ”

"Yu Qiao, what are you looking at?" Li Dongyang was originally flipping through the recital that Xie Qian had drafted, and when he saw that Xie Qian's expression was a little unusual, he asked.

Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang and instinctively felt weak, but at this time he suddenly reacted: "Shen Xi'er wrote the ticket in my handwriting, Brother Bin must have been able to review all the notes when I stayed up late, where can I be so flustered?" ”

Xie Qian took a copy of the recital that Shen Xi put on the top, sent it to Li Dongyang, and said, "Brother Bin, take a look at this recital!" ”

"Transcript?" Li Dongyang frowned slightly.

In the Ming Dynasty, official questions were used for private affairs, but the so-called official questions were only not mixed with personal opinions, or there were few personal opinions about local customs, natural disasters and man-made disasters, tax expenditures, and the appointment and dismissal of officials in the government office. The private affairs transcript is the format used by most of the emperors, such as asking the emperor to deal with something, but only in the name of the individual.

Li Dongyang took the recital and saw that the content mentioned above was the issue of the resettlement of the herdsmen who had gone south by the two officials of the three governors, Yamen Zuo.

This recital was shelved as a matter of course, the emperor didn't bother to care about these when he first recovered from his serious illness, even if he did, those Beiyi herdsmen who were not even ** in the eyes of the bigwigs of the Celestial Empire, what did it matter if they lived or died?

If Liu Daxia didn't think that this was a way to subdue the hearts of the Tatars, he would never let Zuo Erguan play such a script, but would have directly decided to send these herdsmen into slavery, but it was this script, which inadvertently mentioned the movements of some nomads and the situation that the herdsmen's livestock were plundered, in Shen Xi's opinion, this was a signal that the Tatars were ready to take the initiative.

Shen Xi believes that the Tatar herdsmen were plundered by "their own people", and they were unwilling, and they didn't know what to do from above, so they directly "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" and went to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Dongyang asked: "Yu Qiao, I'm afraid that you are making a big fuss." The northwest wind is calm, our soldiers have not yet attacked, and the Tatars are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they take the initiative to meet the battle? If it is said that the Tatars fled north to plunder the people's wealth in order to prevent us from attacking our soldiers and horses, it can be explained! ”

"Could it be that hundreds of thousands of soldiers at my border, as well as countless scouts and sentinels, can't even detect the movements of the Tatars?"

Li Dongyang's words were very convincing, and if Xie Qian hadn't seen that he had written in his own handwriting to explain that this was a sign of the Tatars going south, he would probably have agreed with Li Dongyang's statement.

In order to prepare for the war, the intelligence system followed up very quickly, and sent so many scouts to the grassland to investigate, if the Tatars had any abnormal movements, it was impossible to hide from the eyes of the Ming Dynasty.

The information he had obtained before was that within 500 miles from the three sides to the north, except for a few tribes, there was no trace of the large Tatar tribes, Xie Qian's instinctive reaction when he saw this song, and he also felt that the appearance of these herdsmen was because his own tribe was going north, and they were unwilling to leave, so they defected to the Tatar and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Qian said: "Brother Bin, no matter what, it is better to play this matter to Your Majesty, if it is really Tatar to raise troops to the south, and I have no way to guard against it, wouldn't it...... Dangerous? ”

A wry smile appeared on Li Dongyang's face, Xie Qian didn't tell him the reason for writing this vote, but just asked him to face the Son of Heaven, which made him feel a little unreasonable.

However, Li Dongyang came to the cabinet early in the morning, and he had been sitting for about an hour, and his hemorrhoids had unconsciously made him uncomfortable, so he nodded and said: "I will go to the Qianqing Palace with Yu Qiao, and by the way, find out what Your Majesty has to talk about in the afternoon today!" ”

As the second assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang's political consciousness is slightly stronger than Xie Qian's, and Li Dongyang thinks that Emperor Hongzhi held the noon dynasty for no reason, and he should find an excuse to meet the emperor.

If the emperor had anything inconvenient to say in person at the noon court, such as proposals, excuses, items, etc., they would test their tone and wait until the emperor was in trouble to stand up and solve the difficulties.

As an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, you must have this kind of vision and know when you should ask the emperor for instructions and help the emperor take responsibility and share worries.

Xie Qian said that he wanted to present this recital directly to the Son of Heaven, which happened to be a reason that was not a reason, so the two hit it off and went in the direction of Qianqing Palace.

……

……

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are cabinet scholars, and they are the gentlemen of Emperor Hongzhi, and they are highly respected, and the two of them went to the Qianqing Palace in person, even if they do not comply with the rules, there will be people who will pass through.

Zhu Youzhu did not stay on his sickbed at this time, but on the chair in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, as if he was handling official business. After a period of recuperation, Emperor Hongzhi's spirit improved, but he still coughed, and when Li Dongyang and Xie Qian arrived, they heard Emperor Hongzhi's heavy wheezing sound from inside.

Xiao Jing came out and said, "Two elders, what are you ......?"

"Something, Your Majesty." Li Dongyang said.

"Hey!"

Xiao Jing was a little embarrassed, "Two pavilion elders, you have also heard, Your Majesty is in poor health, it coincides with a major event in the northwest, Your Majesty is anxious, you are in a bad state at this time, after you go in, you must appease Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty does not have to work too hard!" ”

Originally, Li Dongyang didn't take Xie Qian's recital to present the Son of Heaven seriously, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Xie Qian, and thought: "Could it be that it is a prophecy, and the Tatars are really going south?" ”

Li Dongyang really couldn't imagine that there could be any major events in the northwest that made the emperor so anxious, and when he fed back the news before, weren't they all strong and strong Ming soldiers, just waiting for the troops to be like a broken bamboo and return triumphantly?

Li Dongyang wanted to ask Xiao Jing, but Xiao Jing said a few words, and then hurriedly turned back, and Li Dongyang and Xie Qian could only follow into the main hall.

Without waiting for the two to salute, Zhu Youzhu raised his head and said, "It turned out to be two gentlemen, and today they want to be at noon...... Why did you come early? ”

Xie Qian was about to talk about his opinion, but Li Dongyang took the lead: "Your Majesty, in the recital the day before yesterday, the cabinet noticed that there was something strange in the content of the recital, I am afraid that it is a sign that the northern Kou is going south to invade the border, please take a look!" ”

Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang curiously...... Don't you disbelieve it? Why haven't I spoken yet, but you have made up your mind on this matter first?

Li Dongyang's seemingly reckless advances are actually to redeem the emperor's distrust of the cabinet, and he is now to prevent the Tatars from committing a real offense, and the cabinet was informed of the contents of the concert in advance, analyzed the problem, and did not play it in time, so the emperor's think tank was incompetent.

Now, regardless of whether or not the Tatar offense occurred, it must be played in this way, and it can be said that the cabinet had a prejudgment and was "prescient", because even if it had been discovered two days earlier, it would have been too late to convey to the three sides, and the matter would have happened anyway. If it doesn't happen, it's better to prevent it than to do it, and the cabinet is not at fault.

When Zhu Youzhu heard this, his face was grim: "Is this really the case?" And the recital, on the top and I have a look! ”

Zhu Youzhu thought that Li Dongyang would send the recital, but in the end, the recital was taken out of Xie Qian's arms. (To be continued.) )
