"Presumably the old man is also here for this Yuyao xiaolongbao, right?"

After Ma Shangshu sat down, Xie Shen asked lightly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Recently, the old man has been worried about the court, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner. I heard that a new restaurant had opened next to the country's prison, so I wanted to try it. ”

Ma Wensheng stroked his beard and said with a faint smile.

"Why is the boss worried?"

Xie Shen asked naturally.

Ma Wensheng is definitely the number one among the courtiers of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and what can make him worry must be extremely tricky.

Ma Shangshu saw that the private room was full of court officials, and he did not shy away from saying: "The Beijing army is tired, the armament is lax, and the generals are scarce, so it would be good if it was Chengping." Once the war starts, the old man is worried that there will be a big mess. ”

Xie Shen's heart sank, this Ma Wensheng really dared to say anything!

You must know that during the Hongzhi period, the four seas were peaceful, and it was a rare prosperous era.

Even the Tatars, the old enemies of the Ming Dynasty, could only show their teeth and claws, and posed no threat to the imperial court.

Of course, standing at the height of history, Xie is very able to point out many problems in Beijing. But solving these problems will not happen overnight.

Xie Shen comforted: "The boss doesn't have to worry, as long as the boss writes a letter to explain the benefits and disadvantages, with His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, he will definitely order the military department to rectify the Beijing camp." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, a bright light flashed in Ma Wensheng's eyes.

In fact, Ma Shangshu had already written a note, but he had been hesitating to submit it to the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, Xie Shen's words undoubtedly made Ma Wensheng firm in his determination.

Although this note may offend a large number of people, reform always has to be sacrificed, and if it can be effective, it will be worth it.

If he doesn't speak out because he is soft-hearted, he will let the already rotten Jingying continue to rot.

And if you take the next drastic medicine, maybe there is still the possibility of resurrection.

Thinking of this, Ma Wensheng took a deep breath and said, "The old man has lived to this age, so naturally there is nothing to be afraid of. Early tomorrow morning, the old man will write to the Son of Heaven and ask for the Beijing camp to be rectified! ”

Xie Shen was overjoyed when he heard this, the reason why Ma Wensheng was famous in the Hongzhi Dynasty was because he dared to speak out, in other words, this big man's ability to write music was first-class, and he would never use euphemism if he could use sharp words.

Xie Shen was also a professional in his previous life, and he had some research on all kinds of songs.

Now that Ma Wensheng is by his side, if he doesn't ask for advice, I'm really sorry to cross over.

Moreover, Xie Shen is now an official now, and it is inevitable that he will have to write all kinds of notes in the future. It's great to be able to ask someone who knows how to do it at this time.

"The boss is noble, and the lower officials admire it."

Xie Shen sang a fat promise to Ma Wensheng and said: "If the boss is blunt, the lower officials will definitely accompany him." ”

Ma Shangshu nodded with satisfaction and said, "There are not many aspiring young people like Xie Xiuzuo. ”

Xie Shen also understood that he and Ma Wensheng were not familiar with each other, and it was impossible for Master Ma to show him directly. That's why he said the accompaniment.

Ma Wensheng patted Xie Shen's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "If you have free time in the future, the old man wants to play a few games with Xie Xiuzhuo." ”

In a cheerful atmosphere, Ma Shangshu waved his sleeves and strode out of the restaurant.

......

......

Early the next morning, Xie Shen got up early as usual, changed into an official robe under the service of the scholar Chen Hu'er, and went to the Hanlin Academy in a soft sedan chair to sit on duty.

There was nothing important in the Hanlin Academy, and Xie Shen was supervising the servants and doctors of the Five Classics to copy the classics all morning.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon. After a light meal that was not delicious, Xie Shen squinted.

He slept for about half an hour, and when he woke up, he washed his face with clean water and sat down again in front of the desk.

Compared with weekdays, Xie Shen has one more thing on his mind today, that is, to pay attention to Ma Wensheng and Ma Shangshu's movements.

Master Ma made it clear that he would ask the Son of Heaven to rectify the Beijing camp, and Xie Shen also patted his chest and promised to repeat the meeting. It would be too embarrassing if Master Ma's recital was delivered, but Xie Shen couldn't keep up.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were inscriptions and recitals.

In short, the inscription is a note presented in the name of each yamen. These notes will be sent to the General Political Envoy Department, which will then be centrally classified by the General Political Envoy and presented to the Son of Heaven. As for the sonata, as the name suggests, it is a song presented by the courtiers to the Son of Heaven in his personal name.

These concerts were sent by the courtiers to the gate of the Huiji, and then presented to the Son of Heaven by the eunuchs.

Whether it is a transcript or an inscription, after reading it, the Son of Heaven will send it to the six subjects and transcribe a copy.

The contents of these copies have been processed before they can be copied and distributed.

Most of the contents of the Di newspaper are the emperor's edicts and courtiers' discussions, which are very political, but they are actually the favorite of good young people who love the struggle of officialdom.

Of course, Xie Shen is such a good young man, so he has developed the habit of reading the newspaper since he entered the Hanlin Academy as a writer. No matter how busy you are at work every day, you always have to find some time to read the newspaper.

Today, Cui Zhilu, a doctor of the Five Classics, sent the six departments to the office office as usual before revising Lord Xie's official case, and Xie Shen nodded his head slightly as a thank you.

Reading the Di Bao can cultivate political literacy, and you can also learn about the major events inside and outside the court at the first time.

Although some things may be whitewashed, the main body will not move much.

After a few glances, there was really nothing to be said in today's Di Bao, and Xie Shen was a little disappointed.

was about to put the newspaper aside and start drinking tea, but he inadvertently swept the words Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department.

Xie Shen's heart sank, and he sat up straight.

Of course, he knew that Ma Wensheng would write to Emperor Hongzhi, but he never expected that the Son of Heaven would approve it so quickly. He originally wanted to use his personal relationship to inquire about Ma Shangshu's recital, but he never thought that even the Di Bao had been copied.

That is to say, Ma Shangshu's recital had to be sent to the Son of Heaven early in the morning, and the Son of Heaven had to review it without hesitation, and then send the copy to the six departments to the Central Office. The clerk in charge of transcribing had to extract the parts that could be publicized from the copies without stopping, and then transcribed them to the newspaper.

There can be no delay in the whole process, and only in this way can we ensure that the newspaper will be distributed to the yamen in the afternoon.

Of course, the location of the Hanlin Courtyard is relatively positive, and it can be regarded as the first month near the water.

Xie Shen took a deep breath and studied it word by word.

"The safety of the world depends on the cultivation of armaments. Since Xuande, the armament has gradually galloped, and there has been a civil defeat between orthodoxy. Recently, there has been nothing in the world, the Beijing army is tired, the war horses are consumed, the weapons are not refined, and the drill is impossible. Although the Tatar tribes paid tribute as usual, they knew that they had no plans to invade the invaders on a large scale? Beggar to be strict in preparing for the unexpected. In the future, the construction departments shall not allocate regimental battalions and troops, and those who work in the three major battalions should complete the work as soon as possible, and they are not allowed to postpone private service. It is forbidden to encroach on the pastures and horse foddery of the officers and soldiers. Inventory of the inventory of weapons, the insufficient weapons are made into styles, so that the divisions can be made in the same way. Bow horses or outstanding geniuses can be generals, not divided into soldiers or people in the grass and wilderness. In this way, the soldiers will be brave and good, and the armament will be cultivated, although there is a foreign insult, there is no need to worry. ”
