Ye Xiang found that the body he occupied was too poor, and he had to exercise, and exercise began with improving lung capacity, so he ran two counterclockwise laps on the Forbidden City Wall early in the morning, accompanied by Wang Chengen and Wang Tiqian. Ye Xiang, who couldn't hold on to the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, had to give up the idea of continuing, and it seemed that he had to do it step by step.

When Ye Xiang returned to Donghua Gate, he happened to meet Ke Yinyue, who hurriedly entered freely. Ke Yinyue's hair was tied to the top of her head at this time, with a white filial piety bun on the outside, no powder on her face, red lips and white teeth, and she was still beautiful without jewelry. She wears a white long jacket on her upper body and a light blue printed pleated horse-faced skirt on her lower body, which is a general filial piety attire nowadays, and is mostly used for guests.

Ye Xiang looked at Ke Yinyue, who had a worried face, and asked, "Kebaba, why are you going so early?" ”

"Brother, just now Master Tu went to Dong'anmen to send someone to find me, for Wei Jinzhong's business."

Ye Xiang wiped his sweat and waited for her next.

"Brother, for the sake of Wei Jinzhong's dedication to serving Wang Cairen and not participating in the treasure theft, can you treat him lightly?" Ke Yinyue said pleadingly.

Seeing the guest Yinyue, I saw a pitiful look, Ye Xiang was a little soft-hearted, he was stupid and didn't want to do anything with Wei Jinzhong, because as far as Ye Xiang knew, Zhu Youxiao trusted Wei Jinzhong very much, otherwise he would not let an illiterate person take charge of the East Factory. This shows that Wei Jinzhong is at least loyal now, as for the expansion of power since then, he has not won the harem and is an enemy of the Donglin Party, so he should be seen separately, so he said to Wang Chengen, who followed, "You go and tell Zou Yi, don't torture to extract confessions." It can be so ......"

Then, Ye Xiang explained to Wang Chengen in detail about the fatigue interrogation method of the "shuanggui" in the party in later generations, and asked him to act according to his words. Ke Yinyue was entrusted by others, as long as Wei Jinzhong was not worried about his life, he would not ask more.

After returning to Ciqing Palace for breakfast, under the service of Ke Yinyue, Ye Xiang officially changed to 'Chopping Decline'.

In the Ming Dynasty, the filial piety clothes that the relatives of the deceased needed to wear were divided into five classes according to the relationship between relatives and relatives, namely the decay (Nian cui), Qi decay, great gong, small gong, and hemp. In later generations, the five costumes of "intermarriage is prohibited within the five suits" may refer to these five filial piety clothes.

"Decay" refers to the top worn over the chest in mourning clothes, and the lower garment is called a dress. The top and bottom of the chopping garment are made of the coarsest raw linen cloth, and the left and right sides of the garment and the bottom are seamed to expose the broken part to indicate that it is not modified, so it is called chopping.

Now, Ye Xiang's head is a beam crown made of fine linen, and its shape is three pieces of linen cloth stacked to the right, bent into an arch, and then spliced together with a circle of linen rings to form a hat. The ring head is a crown circle made of coarse hemp rope, and the hemp rope intersects at the back of the head and then wraps around the back of the ears to the lower ears and ties the knot under the chin, which is called a rope tassel.

The shirt is made of burlap, the length is over the waist, and a small linen cloth is sewn on the front left side of the chest, which is called 'decay'. The dress is a dress that covers the lower body, and does not sew the bottom edge. The belt was made of thorn and knotted at both ends, and hung down at the front and back of the waist, just above the knee; On the feet are gray bast shoes (sewn from linen) and inside are white cloth socks. There is also a waist-length bamboo cane.

After trying to walk a few steps, Ye Xiang found that there were no stumbles, and it was obvious that the clothes were cut very well.

※※※※

Wenhua Palace, Ye Xiang organized the second regular meeting of the highest decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty on time, after the second persuasion table, he first asked Wang Chengen to read out in public the letter of election to the world after he finished asking for peace in the Qianqing Palace:

"Although the Daxing Emperor ascended the throne only for a long time, the new policies such as the strike of mining taxes and the replacement of officials have been enough, and now the Zigong Palace has been placed in the Renzhi Palace. The eldest son of the emperor is the crown prince appointed by the emperor, with the care of Bailing, and the inner auxiliary loyal and old, and the outer auxiliary duke Guqing Er, not worrying about the lack of people, in order to make good governance survive and stabilize the world, it is advisable to quickly ascend to the great treasure. Qianqing Palace was originally the emperor's residence in the sky, the emperor's eldest son Spring and Autumn was sixteen years old, should keep a few feasts, perform a big gift here, so decided to retreat to Fengchen Palace, to Ming Yu abide by the mother's way, follow the will of the system, the military and the people inside and outside do not take it as a thought, hereby inform the world. ”

This should have been the result of a happy crowd, but there was a discordant voice.

Huguang Dao Yu Shi Jia Jichun did not personally experience the events of the first two days, through hearsay and comprehensive analysis, I feel that there seems to be a cat in it, after thinking about it again and again, in line with the idea of wealth and nobility in this fight, he came out to accuse the ministers, and said, "Your Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne, the first leader should not disobey the emperor, and now force the mother to expel the concubine, are you not afraid of the pain of the whole country?" Xi Xiaozong didn't ask Zhaode, the temple was superior to Concubine Zheng, why didn't the ministers supplement the law? And when the emperor of Daxing was dying, he chose to serve the ministers, and now the jade body is not cold, the concubine Mo Bao, and the courtier, what is the intention? ”

The ministers were quite ashamed of Jia Jichun's behavior of the virgin, could it be that the ministers present didn't know the severity of their lives? Is power about the benevolence of women? Jokes, in that case, it's good to quarrel with Liaozuo Jiannu, you don't need swords and crossbows to fly, corpses are everywhere, and last year, my 50,000 Ming athletes would not be buried in other places. This Qianqing Palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven and the Heavens, and it is a symbol of power, how can it be regarded as a mother by an unrelated woman.

Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, was the main force that opposed Zheng Guifei's invitation to be the queen, and now he is 75 years old, he has a goatee, his face is thin, and he wears plain clothes with the same ministers, trembling with anger, and he stepped forward and pointed to Jia Jichun's nose and said, "Mingsheng Chongling, Yuji Palace, protect Yi Zhou, the first emperor Zi Palace is in the funeral, choose to serve the Li family, and it is advisable to move to the apse." All palace funerals, as far as possible, go in order to offer a few feasts of incense, and solemnize the ceremony of the boudoir. This is understandable, what is your intention to confuse the public here? ”

Ye Xiang saw that the ministers were making accusations one after another, and there were signs of quarrel, so he hurriedly stopped it, "Your Excellency Zhou, the critical situation the day before yesterday was experienced by the ministers and the palace, and now the servants agree to temporarily retire to the Fengchen Palace, and someone jumps out and chatters, is the palace your marionette?" Where is the general of Jinyi Wei Dahan, this person talks about the palace in vain, plays with right and wrong, confuses the public, forks out the palace, and lets him think about it for a month, if he doesn't repent, let the secretary strip off his official position and never use it. ”

Who is the general of the Han Dynasty, it is the façade of the palace that is one in a hundred, all of them are strong men with a height of eight feet, and the two of them who came in grabbed one of Jia Jichun's arms and forked him out like a chicken. Everything is developing too fast, and he hasn't come yet, but he just wanted to be different and grandstanding, but he didn't want to be played by Ye Xiang.

When the hall calmed down, Ye Xiang thought that since Concubine Zheng and Xi Li had bowed their heads, it stands to reason that they should also have a corresponding posture. So, he said to the ministers, "Emperor Daxing is free to stay in the Qinggong and has not recovered, and because of the great mourning, grief and exhaustion, so that the previous illness has increased, although the medicine taken by Cui Wensheng and Li Kezhuo has not worked, it is very disrespectful, but it is also the intention of the ministers to love the king, and the division is to discuss it lightly." ”

Politics is balance, everyone also thinks deeply of what Ye Xiang said, if it spreads for a thousand years, I don't know how many people will be involved, first of all, the cabinet Fang Congzhe was the first to blame, so they all bowed down and said yes.

Zhou Jiamo had regained his composure, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I don't know if there is a reply to the excerpt of the promotion of the Xianchen by the Ministry of Officials yesterday?" Many positions in the imperial court have been vacant for a long time, and if the approval is approved, they can quickly go to the official department to fill in the can't be completed, and then go to the official department to receive the "Instructions for Appointment", and it is better to take office as soon as possible. ”

The Xianchen is the imperial history, and at the same time, the head of the cabinet is called the auxiliary minister, the rest are the cabinet ministers, the officials are the ministers, and the military department is the cardinal.

The general process of appointing and dismissing officials in the Ming Dynasty was that if there was a vacancy in the position, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War would select suitable candidates, and the general low-level positions would be submitted to the cabinet for approval, and then let the emperor know after seeing it. Although important positions, such as the three local departments, the governors who have not yet formed a permanent system, the military capital departments, and the commanders, etc., are also proposed by the two ministries, the cabinet has no decision-making power, and must be recommended by the court and approved by the emperor before the appointment and dismissal procedures can be carried out. Some people are worried that Ye Xiang will be hollowed out by the Donglin Party, which is an impossible situation according to this system.

Ye Xiang knew that although he didn't know the person who was appointed, he knew that now was not the time to appoint a private person, so he asked Wang An to approve the red, and asked, "In addition to the Ministry of Officials, is there anything else to be appointed and dismissed in the Ministry of War?" ”

Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, replied, "Yes", and handed over the fold. Ye Xiang opened it and saw that he was going to promote 7 people at once.

Ye Xiang only left one person's excerpt, and the others let Wang An approve it as usual. The person he left behind was Xu Guoquan, the first general of the martial arts, and the Ministry of War proposed to appoint him as the secretary of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division.

Jiangcai Wuju is commonly known as the "martial champion", but it did not form a routine like Jinshike in the Ming Dynasty, and it was not paid enough attention under the national policy of using literature to control martial arts. It was originally scheduled to be held in 6 years, but in the Wanli years, there were only two exams, the first was in the 32nd year of Wanli, and the first place was Zhang Shenwu; The second is this year, that is, in the 48th year of Wanli, and the first place is Xu Guoquan just mentioned.

Today's Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi, originally in Wanli a certain branch of Huguangwu Township test first, after feeling that the martial arts are not taken seriously, so he abandoned the martial arts, and in Wanli Ding You (twenty-five years, 1597) Huguang Township test first place, the following year to climb the Jinshi. So the couplet in the main hall book at home laughed at himself, saying: There are three elements in the world, and there are no two solutions in the world.

The martial arts will be lifted, divided into township tests, will be tested, and there is no palace test. There are three exams each time, and the first test of martial arts, including horse arrows, guns, knives, swords, halberds, fist fighting, stabbing and other methods; two trial camp formations, mines, gunpowder, combat vehicles, etc.; Each of the three speaks to those who are familiar with the art of war, astronomy, and geography.

For Ye Xiang, of course, he understands the importance of martial arts, which is tantamount to the selection of specialized military talents in later generations, not only to have personal martial arts, but also to have command skills, if it is implemented like Jinshike, then just like the baton of the college entrance examination in later generations, it can provide a large number of military talents for the country, and can also lay the foundation for the future military academy.

Thinking about it, Ye Xiang said to Huang Jiashan, "Xu Guoquan is the first in martial arts, this palace wants to see what he has and how he is clever, as for where to go, let's discuss it after this palace ascends to the pole." ”

Huang Jiashan saw that the big head was agreed, and this Xu Guoquan was not the point, so he no longer objected. Seeing that there was no objection, Ye Xiang concluded, "Now, the matter of selecting the servants to move the palace has been decided, and the ministers have made great contributions. The rest of the ministers and the Zhejiang Dao Imperial History Zuo Guangdou will also be rewarded by the palace later. Well, let's stop here today, this palace has to go to the Qianqing Palace to thank the servants for their deep understanding of righteousness. ”

"The minister respectfully obeys the order and sends it to His Highness."
