Moreover, after writing the memo, the next morning it was rushed to the Governor's Mansion of Datong City by the Salt Gang Channel, and Wang Chonggu did not dare to slack off at all after receiving it, and immediately sent someone to send it to the capital with a letter of 100,000 urgent soldiers, and it was sent to the Forbidden City that night.

More than a dozen recitals and more than a dozen letters were sent to the recipients, and the first to receive the recitals was, of course, the emperor.

These twists and turns did not go through the political secretary, but were passed directly to the palace gate, and then directly to the hands of the celebrant eunuch.

After a hurried glance, the eunuch immediately invited the eunuch Bingbi to meet the emperor and presented more than a dozen letters to the emperor.

The usual procedure is like this, the memorabilia is first reviewed by the eunuch and the eunuch Bingbi, and the main points are written out, which is called abridgement, and it is this kind of abridgement that is shown to the emperor, and only the most important recital will be shown to the emperor in the original text.

Every day, the emperor's desk is like a hill, these officials are full of popularity, and they like to write thousands of words when they have nothing to do, if it is not handled by the eunuchs, the emperor will do everything else, and he has to look down on the folds alone.

The Ming Dynasty was not like the Qing Dynasty. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty personally read all the folds, and made instructions in his own hand, never pretending to others. The rule of the Ming Dynasty was that these things were handled by the celebrant supervisor, and only particularly important matters would trouble the emperor and his old man.

It is difficult to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems, which must show that the emperor of the dynasty is more lazy than the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

There is another reason why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not personally read the minister's recital, that is, the spirit of ownership of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty was too strong, and almost half of the recital was to criticize or accuse the emperor, especially during the Wanli period of Mingshenzong, those ministers scolded the emperor and simply scolded the new height of mankind. It was enough for the ministers of the imperial court to say a few unpleasant words, and even the governors of other provinces also joined in the fun, and seized the opportunity to fight with the emperor. People who don't know the truth of history may doubt whether the Ming Dynasty has the supremacy of imperial power.

During the Jiajing period, criticism of the emperor's recitals came and went, and it began after Emperor Jiajing entered Beijing and ascended the throne. First of all, the civil official group represented by Yang Tinghe took the lead in coaxing, and these ministers were blasted out of the court one after another, but the reappointed ministers still continued to find fault with the emperor, and it seemed that it became the normal work of the ministers to oppose the emperor. According to popular sayings, Emperor Jiajing died of illness, and half of them were angry with Hai Rui.

If the chaos in the court of the Ming Dynasty was placed in the Qing Dynasty, even the most holy Emperor Kangxi would not be able to stand it, let alone Yongzheng Qianlong, those ministers who were disrespectful to the emperor were directly dragged to the vegetable market to behead and exiled to Heilongjiang as a slave of the armored warrior Eight Banners, which was considered a merciful act.

The armor is the authentic Manchu warriors left in the three eastern provinces of the Qing Dynasty to guard the ancestral land.

In later generations, there were always people who attacked the Ming Dynasty's political program as inferior to the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, they only saw some appearances, not the essence at all. The Ming Dynasty created the most advanced civil service system in the world at that time, and it is not much worse than the capitalist political system now. From an academic point of view, the emergence of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty was not only a large-scale economic development, but also an important part of the advanced political system.

Maybe someone raised the bar, how could such an advanced political system die so quickly? The Qing Dynasty was not as good as the Ming Dynasty, how could it have lasted for nearly four hundred years.

This is really a big problem, and no one has been able to explain it clearly, what is the truth about the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and a hundred historians have at least ten different theories, and no one can convince anyone. But that's off topic.

Moreover, after the envoy, Emperor Longqing explained that no matter when the diplomatic mission arrived, it must be handed over to him immediately, and it was not an abridgement, it must be the original text.

Emperor Longqing was talking to a favorite concubine in the palace, and when he heard the eunuch coming to report, the two big eunuchs of the celebrant came to know what was going on, and hurriedly came to the imperial study to sit down.

"Long live Lord, this is a great joy, besides, this little guy is really good, he has made a great contribution just after he got out of the customs." The eunuch smiled after kowtowing to the emperor.

"Well, what credit did he make? It can't be, didn't he just walk out of the gate? "Emperor Longqing still doesn't believe it.

"He has already gone far away, and he has also taken action to abolish the two Tatar generals, and captured more than 2,000 rogues outside the fortress, saying that he is preparing to auction them at a high price." The eunuch couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile.

The two of them were very excited by what they were doing, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so, which showed the power of my great Ming.

"Just went and caught more than 2,000 rogues? How is it possible, doesn't he only have 10,000 people on his hands? Emperor Longqing was also stunned, and he also thought that the Ming army could only take advantage of the battle with the soldiers outside the Saiwai Army, at least three to one, or even five to one. This is not arrogant, but the experience gained from previous wars, the last battle outside the capital, the Ming army occupied a ten-to-one advantage, but the Tatar cavalry is still showing off their might outside the city, which is almost a national shame.

Emperor Longqing thinks that with the men and horses he brought, it would be good to have a tie with the two thousand outrunners, although the Liukou is not as good as the main force of the Tatars, but besides, the sixth guard of Jinyi is all novices, and they can overcome obstacles when they first enter the battlefield?

"Long live the lord, please look at this description, we have an absolute advantage, long live the silver is not in vain, all of it has been implemented."

Emperor Longqing read the description of the battle in the memorabilia, and shouted: "Happy, happy, the battle has to be fought like this, but this little guy still disobeyed my order and smuggled the bird gun outside the fortress, and it won't be taken away by the Tatars to copy it, right?" ”

"This shouldn't be, the slave asked the people from the Ministry of Industry, and they said that with the little iron they can buy every year in Tatar, it is not enough to make bird guns in large quantities, not to mention the reserves of * and lead pellets, which cannot be made without a large number of mature craftsmen, and we banned the sale of firearms outside the customs in the era of Xuanzong." The celebrant eunuch laughed.

The eunuch Bingbi also said: "Besides, it is also a last resort, without so many birds, he will not be able to gain a foothold outside the fortress at all, and the Tatar cavalry sent by the king of Alta to protect them actually collude with the rogues and want to rob them, which is really shameless." ”

"Well, it's shameless and indecent. Write to the king of Alta and tell him that if this happens again, we will withdraw from the diplomatic corps and stop talking to him. Emperor Longqing just finished reading the narrative, and he was also angry.

Contrary to the treatment he received, the little prince took Hannaji under the protection of Qi Jiguang, browsing the mountains and rivers along the way, and the government took out the best things to entertain everywhere he went, and the people were also very enthusiastic about the little prince and his party, after all, the people hoped for peace, but feared that the war would break up again, and they had to flee their homes, their wives were separated, and their families were ruined.

Of course, this does not show that there is any servility in the court, this is just the hospitality custom of the Han people, as long as it is a guest, it is always warmly entertained, and usually the good things that they are reluctant to eat and drink will also be taken out for the guests to enjoy.

The herdsmen outside the Saiwai are actually more hospitable, and if the Han Chinese go to the Saiwai alone, they will never be abused, unless he is suspected of being a spy, the herdsmen will be more hospitable than the people in the interior. Moreover, the unjust treatment he received was not the intention of the king of Alda, but the work of the two men of Jehan and Mono.

The eunuch bowed down to receive the order, and then began to type a draft in his stomach, preparing to draft a protest letter to the king of Altan overnight, and also to write the emperor's will, if the king of Altan could not effectively protect the diplomatic mission, the court would withdraw the diplomatic mission and stop playing with you.

"You say that it is indeed a great achievement to bring down the two Tatar generals, but how did he do it, with a silver ticket? It's strange, how can a silver ticket be so powerful? After reading a few letters, Emperor Longqing was very puzzled.

"This, besides, it just said that the two barbarian generals were too shallow-eyed, and they were so frightened that they had a stroke when they saw the amount on his silver ticket." The celebrant said vaguely.

Besides, he didn't say that he took out a silver ticket of one million taels in the recital, no one would have thought that he was really so rich, and other officials also mentioned this matter in the recital to the emperor, but no one described it clearly, because they didn't see it with their own eyes, they just heard about it.

"How much can I stimulate the stroke of two generals?" Emperor Longqing was still confused, he felt that no matter how large the amount was, he couldn't make a person be stimulated like that.

Of course, he thinks so, for a prince who was born in an imperial family since he was a child, how big a number is a number. He is now worried about the shortage of silver every day, and he is worried about millions of taels, not tens of thousands of taels or hundreds of thousands of taels.

The eunuch Si Li and the eunuch Bingbi also couldn't understand that although they didn't have a million taels of silver in hand, they had seen more large amounts of silver tickets, and they would never be frightened by a string of numbers in their eyes.

"Forget it, there may be another reason for this matter, and there should be masters around you, and it is estimated that those masters have secretly done something. That's fine, as long as the other party doesn't get caught, it is naturally the best thing to be able to secretly get rid of the two generals of the Tatars. "Emperor Longqing said.

When the emperor said this, the two great eunuchs immediately agreed, and they also thought that it might be a small trick.

Besides, it has long been no secret that there are masters around to protect him, and there are not a few court officials who know about it, and of course the emperor also knows it. As for some people attacking him in the middle of the compromise, saying that he was the leader of the Qinwang faction related to Emperor Jianwen, the emperor just sneered, never expressed his position, and ignored it.

The imperial court does not admit the existence of the Qinwang faction at all, not to mention that the leaders of the so-called Qinwang faction, such as the head of the Heavenly Master Sect and the leader of the Wudang Sect, are all guests of the emperor, not to mention that they are also on call when they meet every day, and the emperor's daily dealings with them are even more than the number of times with Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.

"Give a decree to the Ministry of Industry, let them send more * lead pellets and arrows for strong crossbows to Datong City, in case of necessity and needs, and then give Wang Chonggu a decree, let him really inquire about the situation outside the Saiwai, and report it in time." Emperor Longqing Road.
