"Who wants to send an envoy to Warat?"

Emperor Jingtai stepped into the Fengtian Temple for the first time, but his mood was as calm as water. He sat upright on his throne and slowly glanced at the ministers in the hall to see how they would react.

All the lords and ministers of the temple bowed their heads in silence.

The envoy Nahachu had just entered Beijing, apparently to spy on the movements of the Ming court. The envoys of the people have come to the door, and if Da Ming does not decide on his own envoys, he will not be able to start this scene at all.

However, how dare these lords and people who are accustomed to "Zi Yue" and "Poetry Cloud" to teach the great truth dare to volunteer and suffer from unjustified disasters in the face of unforeseen circumstances?

In ancient times, Yanzi made Chu and Lin Xiangru return to Zhao, and the two did not disgrace their mission and were rumored to be a good story through the ages. However, the two kingdoms of Chu and Qin, which were sent by Yan Zi and Lin Xiangru, were the vassal states of China, and everyone pursued a homogeneous civilization, and the morality of diplomatic relations and the style of envoys were very easy to be praised by both hostile sides. How can the country of China be compared with the barbaric state of Warat?

And now that the army is newly defeated, the people in the country are panicking, and the Ming Dynasty does not have much bargaining capital with Wara, no matter who is the envoy, it is destined to be an adventurous journey!

Responding to the blackmail of Warat as in the past? No way! Even if the willingness to sell national interests in exchange for peace is tacitly approved by the monarchs and ministers of the DPRK and China, the historical responsibility after its success is unbearable, and the envoy will definitely be drowned by the spittle of the government and the opposition after returning to Beijing, and even bear the infamy of the ages, leaving a disaster for future generations!

What's even worse is that you want to learn from Yan Zi and Lin Xiangru, show off your well-educated demeanor in the court, and have a gorgeous debate with the chieftain, hehe, okay! "Click", I'm afraid that the head will fall to the ground before the words are finished!

In the final analysis, it is wishful thinking to seek peace at this time, and the Ming and Warat will eventually use strength to dialogue!

Therefore, the Lords and Harmonies, who have spoken a large basket of beautiful words, have flinched one by one when they are required to put their vision into action.

The embarrassing scene in the hall was somewhat unbearable. Emperor Jingtai waited for half an hour, and when he saw that no one asked for his life, he left his ministers and left the Fengtian Temple without saying a word.

Since no one volunteered, Emperor Jingtai could only point to the generals. He sent the Jinyi guard to command Yue Qian, and promoted Yue Qian to the commander of the capital, and rewarded twenty taels of platinum and four taels of silk.

Not to mention, there must be brave men under the heavy reward! Yue Qian rolled his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and said generously: "Weichen vows to live up to his mission!" ”

Yue Qian went to the court in order to be promoted to two levels and obtain twenty taels of platinum, but was detained by the Warat people and died soon after.

It is worth mentioning that almost at the same time, the Empress Dowager sent the right guard of Jinwu to command Ji Duo to go to the court to send mink Qiu to the emperor.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it. It is said that after Emperor Jingtai set up his envoys, he immediately passed on Naha to his majesty, and Emperor Jingtai repaired a letter to show his intention to make peace to Warat Khan.

Of course, a dead letter is not enough to show the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty, so Emperor Jingtai summoned hundreds of officials to discuss, and decided to give the property to be given to the detachment without spending and first, and the word "reward" was not mentioned in writing, but the word "special" was used instead.

“······ Special to 100 taels of gold, 200 taels of silver, 10 beads, 100 pearls, five gold nine dragon pattern silk, 10 gold python dragon silk, 5 gold flower silk, 20 plain flower silk, and pipa, zither and other things, so that the envoy received the payment, Khan Liangzhi. ”

Compared with the orthodox emperor's generosity, these bereavements are very small, but after being beaten and humiliating the country, the Ming Dynasty himself had a hard time, and he also put on a high posture to send rich wealth to the chieftain, and the sincerity is enough!

Emperor Jingtai didn't expect a positive response from the Warats at all, and as soon as he turned around, he scoffed at his own actions. After letting the Lord and the Peacemaker get his wish, he immediately returned to the Wuying Palace, saw that Zhu Qiming was still waiting there, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I wasted those belongings in vain, and I panicked in my heart!" ”

Zhu Qiming replied with a wry smile.

Jin Ying entered, "Your Majesty, the celebrant has just sorted out the inscription and recital submitted today, and found that there is a rush in it. Thirteen Imperial History, Six Sections to the matter of the impeachment of the left governor Liu Ju, the right of the imperial history Zhang Kai, the two of them to suppress the Fujian traitors, has been hiding in Jianning City, every day to drink and chant poetry for fun, extortion of the house, Wei Jinbo, heard that Deng Maoqi was sentenced, this led the troops to the battlefield. Zhang Kai also lied about the military situation, and asked his accompanying family members to take advantage of the thief's exploits. ”

Emperor Jingtai's face instantly became gloomy.

Zhang Kai is a typical well-educated person, who can live in the right and imperial history, which is not easy, but under his seemingly elegant appearance, there is an extremely cunning and greedy heart.

Emperor Jingtai realized that the Forbidden City has changed the emperor, and the bad deeds of many officials in the past will be taken advantage of the opportunity to be exposed.

said quietly: "I just issued an order to amnesty the world, let's dismiss Liu Ju and Zhang Kai." Turning his gaze at Zhu Qiming, there was a slight sense of anger in his eyes, "The head of governing the country is governing the officials, and all generations in ancient times have died in the corruption of the officials." ”

Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, if you continue to investigate, the court will be in chaos." At present, the society is in danger, and it is necessary to rectify the rule of officials, but it is not advisable to be in a hurry, and it is still necessary to give people a chance to reform themselves, and it is not too late to use heavy codes after the world is stable. ”

Emperor Jingtai nodded, rushed to the official and said loudly: "Someone, the decree!" ”

Emperor Jingtai made his second historic choice, which was to open the stubborn disease of corruption in the rule of officials. He harshly instructed hundreds of officials, denounced the chaos of officials, and said that the Ming Dynasty had fallen to this point because "Erwen and Wuqun were in a position or mediocre to keep their positions, and they were silent; or ask the public bank to relocate; or to conquer the subordinate, in order to give; or insatiable greed, with a fat fortune", saying that the above chaos is too numerous to mention.

The tone of the edict changed, leaving room for the hundred officials to "stop", "At the beginning of my current throne, I will not be investigated, salty and self-renewal."

In the end, he released heavy words and sternly warned that if "I still follow the same path, there is no fear, and my ancestors have become constitutional, and I will not lend!" ”

After listening to the edict dictated by Emperor Jingtai, Zhu Qiming had mixed feelings in his heart. If you want the Ming Dynasty to become a real kingdom where the people are rich and the country is strong, and all nations are respected, the Son of Heaven must have the courage to take responsibility and take advantage of the accumulated evils of the officials. However, in the future, once the purge of officials is started, the interests of many people will be touched, and Emperor Jingtai's efforts are destined to be ten times more difficult than fighting against the Tartars! If you don't get it right, it will really shake the mountains.

Moreover, there is also an emperor far away in the north, which adds many variables to the future direction of the court!

Zhu Qiming had a premonition that an extremely fierce battle was coming.
