At the twenty-first hour of the first lunar month, there were few people walking around the Yongsu Palace, and there was silence everywhere.

Standing at the main entrance of Yongsu Palace, Zhu Qiming was worried in his heart. Although he was fully prepared and full of information when he left the Qingyuan Palace, he still felt nervous when he really wanted to officially appear.

More than ten days ago, he staged a good show in Fengtian Palace, compared with that scene, today's court discussion is very different, if you want to stir up the temple in Yongsu Palace, you must come up with real materials, and you can no longer rely on unexpected speculation.

Wang Zhen greeted him, his complicated eyes were elusive, "Your Highness, the topic of today's court discussion is the recruitment of the people, because the ten-day vacation has not yet ended, so only the cabinet officials have been summoned, the princes, marquis, and horses in Beijing, and the governor of the five armies, Zuo Dudu. ”

Zhu Qiming's heart moved. In such a court discussion, the balance of power is in favor of the emperor, and the emperor must have calculated it carefully. But now that the civil officials are in charge, the relatives and the governors have long lost the right to decide on military affairs, and can only act as seconders. After calculation, the only people who speak with weight are cabinet ministers, so I am afraid that the emperor's good intentions will not be able to achieve his wish.

Chong Wang shook his head, he straightened the prince's crown robe, walked into the palace quickly, and went straight to the throne to salute, "Qi Ming, the king of Chenyue, greets Your Majesty." ”

"Flat."

Zhu Qiming took a few steps back, turned around and walked towards the crowd, and saw that nearly twenty civil and military officials raised their eyes and stared straight at him, all of them with a look of surprise.

The emperor glanced at everyone, and his expression was calm. "King Yue fought with Tartar thieves in the north, and he knows a little about the Tartar thieves."

This explanation is obviously not convincing, Yang Pu hurriedly went out of class to look at the crowd: "Lao Yu once talked to King Yue about military affairs, and deeply felt that King Yue was extraordinary, King Yue was young, what he said, it was not a pre-government, let's listen to it." ”

If you say that if you don't count the pre-government, you won't be able to do it! The doubts of the people are difficult to dispel, but it is also inconvenient to care. Flipping through the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", there is no prohibition on the prince's pre-government, which completely isolates the prince from the government, but it is just a secret rule that can only be done since Yongle and cannot be said.

Zhu Qiming raised his eyes to look at everyone, and saw that Yang Shiqi was not sick, standing there with his eyes half-closed, looking in a trance, and it seemed that his heart was half dead. Yang Rong on the side glanced at Zhu Qiming, and his gaze was a little unkind.

For some reason, Zhu Qiming's heart was pounding, and his nervousness suddenly intensified. The first time I discussed politics, it was difficult to be calm, so I could only secretly warn myself that I must not be stage frightened when the time comes.

The emperor obviously wanted to turn the page on the prince's pre-government, so he opened his mouth early: "At the end of last year, I discussed with several nobles and governors and recruited the people, and the auxiliary minister said that this matter must be discussed by the court. ”

Listening to the emperor's words, Zhu Qiming felt a little aggrieved for the Son of Heaven. Like Taizu and Taizong, there will be no more powerful emperors who have been through a hundred battles and come over nine deaths, since Renxuan, the Son of Heaven must be promoted by the court of important ministers, and major matters must be decided by the court, so that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to be dictatorial, how easy it is to say!

If the Son of Heaven is very assertive, it will be difficult to do, I am afraid that he will lose patience with the situation of being controlled by people everywhere, otherwise, how could the Wanli Emperor in later generations "strike" for a long time?

The records in the history books are often suspicious. Later generations can not use the standards of modern people to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the monarchy, however, you might as well look at the problem from another angle, the Ming Dynasty has a name and a surname, in modern language, that is, the property rights are very clear, as long as it is not too bastard, the Ming Emperor who does not want the Zhu family to be eternal? And the hundred officials seem to be only similar to the employees of the owner, to say that the employees of a company have a stronger sense of responsibility for the company than the shareholders, it is strange to think about it!

No further ado. It is said that after everyone listened to the emperor's opening remarks, they could not speak rashly, but talked about the order of speeches! Jiuqing has a complete future, so Yang Rong has to speak first, anyway, Yang Pu is focusing on coordination, and Yang Shiqi is just that, I can't count on it.

The others seemed to be faintly aware of something, clearly waiting for Yang Rong to speak, they just had to open their eyes wide and straighten their ears to be an audience.

"Your Majesty, the minister has discussed this matter before. Warat's food, clothing, utensils are all dependent on the Ming Dynasty, Warat has benefited a lot from the mutual market, so the heart of reconciliation with the Ming Dynasty is very earnest, as long as the Ming Dynasty is careful to deal with it, it is not difficult for the two sides to get along in harmony. It is indeed intolerable that the number of envoys is overdue, and there are unknown Tartar thieves who often enter the prison, but to put it simply, these are small sections, and it is tantamount to working the people and losing money because of the small sections. The soldiers are murderous, and the smoke is together, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable. ”

"Warat is still powerless to penetrate my Ming Dynasty, and Sheji can be safe. Even if Warat rashly invades the capital in the future, as long as he clears the wilderness and sticks to the capital, the Warat people will definitely return in vain. ”

It's a solid wall again! Yang Rong's stubbornness is surprising. Not to mention that Yang Rong's prediction of the future situation is full of nerdy fantasies, just saying that his disregard for the border people in and out of his words is very different from the benevolent proposition that he often talks about.

This is very reminiscent of Yan Song, another historical celebrity in the Jiajing period more than 80 years later. When Yan Song faced the Tartar thieves entering the Koukou, he said a famous sentence that is often ignored intentionally or unintentionally-

"Go to your heart"!

What do you mean? Just ignore the Tartars, let them, have plundered enough, and the Tartars will leave!

To what extent Yan Song's strategy reflects the overall mentality of the scholars, it is difficult for future generations to make a conclusion, but one thing is certain, in Yan Song's eyes, the countless Li people in the north of the capital are a sacrifice that can make the Tartars retreat!

Sorrowful!

Turning over the history of the orthodox dynasty, it is not difficult to find that the most benevolent to the people are not those important ministers who have read the books of the sages, but the orthodox emperor who sits on the throne at the moment and does not read much. The orthodox emperor did not do much in his life, and he also favored traitors and killed heroes, which was criticized by later generations, but in the matter of treating the people of Dawn, he really had a benevolent heart!

"It is a fallacy that the Tatar thief enters the Koujing Division, and he can retreat from the enemy by relying on the strong wall and clearing the wilderness!" Zhu Qiming came out of class angrily, he seemed to be completely angered by the coldness of some people, and he no longer had half a sense of nervousness, he was determined to smash the clichés above the temple! "Your Majesty, those who hold this fallacy can be punished!"

Hey!

Hearing the familiar sound of surprise ringing in his ears again, Zhu Qiming realized that the wind and clouds above the temple were already quietly rolling. The surprised expressions of everyone before just revealed their true mentality, and at this moment, all of them were solemn, which was an illusion. Everyone must be secretly waiting for the show to happen.

Even Yang Shiqi suddenly woke up and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Zhu Qiming did not live up to everyone's expectations, his expression was calm, his eyes were slowly circulating, like a national soldier who had suddenly arrived, how could he still have half of a child's immature state!

"The Ming Dynasty is in the capital and the walls are clear, what damage does this do to Wara? Attacking the city is the next policy, Warat does not have to attack the city, they can plunder in the north, not only without damage, but also with a full load, such a good thing, how can it be missed! The Tartar thieves must go and come back, choose the opportunity to enter the Koujing division again, and then make a false shot, plunder a lot of money, and lead the troops to retreat. In this way, over and over again, in less than three years, will there still be people in the north of my Ming Dynasty? The vast north has become a no-man's land, and the capital has become a border city. At that time, I am afraid that I will learn from the southern crossing of the Song Dynasty and rule the river! ”

With a "hum", the Yongsu Hall suddenly exploded, and after a while, I saw that the concubines Jingyuan and Shi Jing took the lead in standing up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that King Yue's words are very reasonable."

Then the governors went out of their shifts, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others seconded the proposal." ”​

The reason why the former Jianbi Qingye theory became the recognized truth of the Manchu Dynasty was because he did not meet a wise man with more deep thinking, and when a new wise man appeared, the original so-called consensus immediately returned to zero, and the truth instantly became a fallacy.

Yang Rong was very conceited, but he suddenly found that compared with Zhu Qiming's knowledge, his ideas seemed shallow! The taste of shame was very uncomfortable, and Yang Rong could not expect his cabinet officials to provide him with fire support, because it would be unwise to dwell on this fact that the strong wall Qingye had been completely shattered, so he quickly switched the topic to a more critical issue.

"King Yue, this is sensational! How did the king of Yue conclude that Wara would definitely invade the Ming Dynasty? How can it be concluded that there will be a battle between Daming and Warat? ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhu Qiming, even the Son of Heaven on the throne.

The opportunity for the crucial thunder blow came quietly, Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, and when he said it, it was already light and light.

"Warat is already attacking the Ming Dynasty, but Yang Ge Lao is turning a blind eye! The Seven Guards of Kansai were originally the fetters of my Ming Dynasty, but now they have been infiltrated by Wara; In the east, the Wuliang Ha Sanwei between Miyun and Liaodong is also the domain of my Ming Dynasty, and now it is coerced by Wara, and my Ming Dynasty's domain screen is being eaten by Wara step by step, but the princes of Gon just turn a blind eye! Warat also invaded Yili and Samarkand to the west, which were all friends of the Ming Dynasty; Invade the Jurchen tribes to the east, which is the vassal state of my Ming Dynasty. According to this momentum, if left unchecked, it will not be long before the Warat people will drink the Yalu River and watch North Korea. ”

"After the feudal screens are lifted one by one, Warat will definitely look south, and the soldiers will be directed at the Ming Dynasty!"

With a "hum", the Yongsu Hall exploded again.

People always like to believe in what they want to believe, and Zhu Qiming's remarks are tantamount to enlightenment, shattering dreams, as if reminding everyone: abandon illusions and face reality!
