Chapter 303: Strong Righteousness
The sprinkling of books of 10,000 words is by no means common in these years. After all, whether it is the cabinet, the celebrant or the supreme son of heaven, no one has the surname to watch a courtier idle on his own in the song. The time of the Son of Heaven and the bigwigs is limited, so to make a long story short and short to say it even shorter, conciseness has become a compulsory course for every official. However, this law is obviously not suitable for Zhu Houzhao. At this time, it was time to hold the lamp, he was crooked on the couch and a palace maid was there to fan him, and he couldn't take his eyes off the thick fold in his hand like a book, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he looked at it.
"I knew that he was used to setting traps, and now he actually put Zhu Hui, the prince of the country, into it!"
Liu Jin on the side had already seen these things first. For Xu Xun and Zhang Yong to send him the fold, he was a twelve-point ironing in his heart, after all, this means that the two of them agree that he is now the status of the first person in essence around Zhu Houzhao. So, hearing Zhu Houzhao muttering like this, he said jokingly: "Isn't it? If you want to say that Duke Baoguo and Duke Miao are too cautious, it is no wonder that the bosses in the court are urging the troops one by one. ”
"They know how to urge...... If it was so easy to fight on the front line, how could Li Jin, the governor who read poetry and books, suffer such a big defeat? Without further ado, I said that I couldn't go to the West Corner Gate early in the morning, and called the three old gentlemen in the cabinet and the people from the Six Metropolitan Inspectorates, and the Wenhua Palace was on the agenda. I said that I would support Xu Xun, and this time I can't let them fight alone! ”
The next morning is June 15, that is, the hope of the Great Dynasty. Nowadays, because of the funeral of Emperor Hongzhi, the Great Dynasty is still held at the West Corner Gate. When the hundred officials arranged their shifts outside the noon gate early in the morning, and entered in order and stood in front of the West Corner Gate under the guidance of the officials of the Honglu Temple, the sun had risen early in the summer. Although there is not much heat, it is still uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun on the top of people's heads, and after a while, some old ministers have already seen fine beads of sweat on their heads. However, everyone thought that the Son of Heaven Luan would come over in a short time, but after a quarter of an hour, it was a eunuch who was waiting.
"The emperor has decreed that the five things played by the court and the central government have all been presented last night, and they will all be played. Although it is now autumn, the weather is still very hot, and the emperor sympathizes with the hard work of the ministers, and now he is exempted from the court. The Xuanfu Wanquan military situation was urgent, and the three gentlemen of the cabinet and the scholars and servants of the six ministries of the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately went to the Wenhua Hall to discuss matters, and the rest of the officials went back to the government to take care of affairs. ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Jin saw that the officials below him were in an uproar, and immediately scolded him for not being interested, and then coughed lightly and raised his voice and said: "The emperor is waiting for you to work hard, give a watermelon to each of the five grades and above, and a cup of ice drink below the fifth grade to dispel the heat, and turn around to have the spirit to take care of all parties." ”
With a slight wave of his hand, more than a dozen small firefighters immediately carried up a basket of watermelons, followed by several large tea barrels. In the face of this sudden exemption from the dynasty and the same sudden reward, a group of officials immediately discussed a lot, but these astronomical palace deliberations Zhu Houzhao, a young emperor, attended on time every time, and they couldn't find too many words to blame, although some people were indignant and walked away, but more people still received rewards according to their official positions before leaving, and Liu Jian and others naturally would not be rare, looking at many low-grade officials who rushed to get ice water to relieve the heat, some people couldn't help but sigh.
"This is the first day ...... the court"
"Thousands of people went to the court, the farthest one couldn't even see the face of the sky clearly, and every time I went to the court in the past, I didn't know how many people couldn't escape, among them, there were nobles like Shouning Hou Jianchang Hou, who was exempted from the court, what kind of woman's state!" Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, interrupted the squire's emotion angrily, and then looked around at everyone and said, "If you have time to think about this, you might as well think about what you should have taken the turn of the Ministry of Rites today, but suddenly summoned all of us again, what does the emperor want to do!" ”
yes, what does the emperor want to do?
Whether it is Ma Wensheng, the patriarch of the Five Dynasties, or the bosses of the other three dynasties and four dynasties, they are all entangled for a while. In these days' deliberations, Zhu Houzhao is a new trick every day, not to mention their hard work. And those little things are just that, today I have already said that the military situation of the Yixuan Mansion is perfect, and it will inevitably involve military affairs at the front, I just hope that the little emperor will not come out with a moth.
However, for fear of what would come from something, everyone rushed into the Wenhua Hall to stand, and Zhu Houzhao entered the hall in a hurry. He sat down on the throne in the center, and after everyone kowtowed and got up, he said bluntly: "I have summoned Zhuqing here today to discuss the military affairs of the Xuanfu. Before Zhang Jun, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, they fought such a big defeat, and there has always been a dispute between the DPRK and China about whether to lose the plane or die. ”
"Back to the emperor, this matter has been agreed by the ministers, and the governor will go to the Xuanfu to investigate the chief soldier Zhang Jun and the eunuch Liu Qing and others in person according to the Zhili Imperial Shi Xiashi......"
Before Liu Jian finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand impatiently and said, "Investigation is investigation, but what should be done has to be done first." Before Baoguo Gong, he wrote to the left staff general Shenying Li Jun and others with few soldiers, and I decided to send another 6,000 troops to reinforce, and then select another 20,000 people in the 12th regiment camp to prepare, so that Xing'anbo and them can be trained well, and if the war changes, they can be sent to Xuanfu at any time. And ......"
This incident has made the faces of the ministers ugly, and Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to their expressions at all, paused and said to himself: "After all, Zhang Jun and Liu Qing have been in Xuanfu for many years, and now they have lost the battle and put it on hold, which is also a waste of people." The Tartars had once overwhelmed the Acropolis with heavy troops, and although they had now withdrawn, their whereabouts were a mystery after all. Xu Xun has already written to ask you to go to the Acropolis of Wanquan. He originally asked me to be transferred by Baoguo Gong, and there was no detective intelligence but he was still in Xuanfu, so I planned to allow him, and let Zhang Jun and Liu Qing accompany him, even if they were guilty of meritorious service. ”
Xie Qian defended almost without thinking: "Your Majesty, the world is shaking in this defeat, even if you don't offend Zhang Jun and others, they should be arrested and questioned in Beijing, or held accountable or ignored, there must be a detailed investigation process." Moreover, now that Baoguo Gong is the chief military officer, Xu Xun crossed him to play, which is not exempt from the disagreement of military law, and Wanquan Right Guard is the northernmost acropolis of the entire Xuanfu, and there may be captives at any time, Xu Xun has never been in the battle array, in case of danger, it is tantamount to sending it to the door, and I implore the emperor to think twice. ”
"By the time the details are clear, the Tartars have already run away! After all, Zhang Jun has been in contact with the captives, and Liu Qing has also been in the Xuanfu for many years, so that they are guilty and meritorious, which is to affirm that I am not employing people because of victory or defeat, and it is also to see if they can show a way after defeat! As for Xu Xun passing the Baoguo Gong to play, I Yuan gave him the right to play directly, and he played the Baoguo Gong, but the Baoguo Gong was not allowed, is he really doing nothing in the Xuan Mansion? Then what is the use of recommending him to Xuanfu one by one at that time! ”
The more Zhu Houzhao spoke, the louder he became, and finally stood up: "It was you who started to urge the troops, and you were the ones who sent people to Xuanfu, and it was you who said that he couldn't go without a battle formation!" He just knew that he was young and inexperienced, so he asked Zhang Jun and others to accompany him. I know that you want to say that the generals of the defeated army are unspeakably brave, but how many famous generals have conquered the world from ancient times to the present without tasting a single defeat? Is it true that if you lose the war, you have no human rights? ”
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao completely forgot that he had scolded Zhang Jun and others in front of Xu Xun before, and he even forgot that Xu Xun directly quoted the original words on the fold. Seeing that the ministers were choked by him and could barely speak, he said angrily: "This matter has been decided, this is an order, not a discussion with you." Of course, if you don't obey the edict, I will go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Science Corridor to let the officials defend themselves first! ”
Since the little emperor ascended the throne, all the bigwigs feel that the officials who are often used in the past are now gradually not so handy. There were a few people waving their flags around each of the emperor's decrees, and although they were only a small handful, it was foreseeable that they would become a large crowd at any time and place. What's more, Xu Xun's behavior is not in accordance with the rules, but it is obvious that he has made countless people feel uneasy in the capital, and he has no intention of mixing credit in Xuanfu.
So, after making eye contact and even whispering to each other, Liu Jian, as the head of the cabinet and the head of the hundred officials, finally bowed down deeply: "The minister's order." ”
Zhu Houzhao is so strong today, just to pass this matter, and when the goal is achieved, he finally sat down with a long sigh of relief, but said in his mouth: "That's it, hard work and national affairs should be praised." Since Zhang Jun and Liu Qing went to the Wanquan Right Acropolis together, then Governor Li Jin also asked him to come out and do things. At first glance, there were many soldiers and horses stationed in the left and near, and there was little to disturb the people, and it was just right for him, the governor, to come out to calm the people. Also, Wang Shouren is still helping to supervise the transportation of grain and grass? He's a head of the military department, and he's doing these things too much and too much, let him go to Juyongguan! Didn't you say before that the captives were rampant, please increase troops at Juyong Pass and Baiyangkou, yes, each Beijing battalion sent 1,000 infantry to assist in the past, as for Bauhinia Pass, 1,000 people were transferred to the vicinity regardless of where. ”
Speaking of this, he didn't seem to have any objections when he looked down, so he stood up again, and had the heart to stretch his waist to relieve the fatigue of pondering today's rhetoric all night last night, but he finally held back, and only said with his hands behind his back: "I said such a thing, and then you are all so busy, let's disperse...... I am impartial, I hated Zhang Jun's teeth before, and now I don't speak for him, the general of the defeated army? Li Jin, a jinshi, had a fellow villager in the same year, but Zhang Jun did not, so he had to give people justice for his guilt and meritorious service. That's it, I'll go back first! ”
Seeing that the little emperor turned his back and walked away in such a dashing manner, Liu Jian and the others who stayed in place even forgot to salute. It wasn't until Zhu Houzhao and those attendants and so on disappeared cleanly that Liu Jian said with a cold face: "Old man, no matter which of you are in the same year as Li Jin, the state has national laws, and whatever crime he finds out next, it will be what crime!" ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and then slowed down and said: "This time the reinforcements are all military generals, but there are still people below who recommend the establishment of the Xuanda general system, although it is not allowed, but among the civil officials, they should also pick whether there is a military strategy, and a group of people are ready at any time, so as not to have no one in the emperor's edict to ask for military strategy." You must know that if Li Jinruo is requisitioned back to Beijing this time, the governor of Xuanfu can't be left without people! ”
