Chapter 302: Serving the East Palace (The third update is the alliance leader vivian520 plus change)
On October 15 of the ninth year of Hongzhi, the Son of Heaven held a great court meeting in the Fengtian Temple to meet with the envoys of Turpan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Manchu officials gathered in front of the Fengtian Temple, waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven.
Unlike the first emperor Chenghua Emperor, Emperor Hongzhi was very diligent and could even be described as a workaholic.
Not only will he attend the daily routine court meetings on time, but he will also often convene his ministers to discuss military affairs.
What is even more commendable is that the notes sent to the Son of Heaven are often approved immediately, and there will never be a piling up of delays.
However, it is such a model worker emperor, and the number of times he has held a large court meeting is only a handful.
In fact, the reason is very simple, the pilgrimage meeting will only be held when something important is announced. For example, after the seal, the crown prince was established.
Then there is a great victory reward or an envoy to the court.
However, these two items were not many when Emperor Hongzhi was in power, so the emperor was both willing and powerless.
Gossip is not mentioned, but it is said that the envoys of Turpan were frightened when they saw such a formation on this day, and after offering tribute and worshipping the Son of Heaven according to the custom, it was the link of the emperor's speech.
China has had the obsession of the Celestial Empire since ancient times, and this Ming Dynasty is no exception.
The Son of Heaven instructed the envoys of Turpan, just like Lao Tzu trained his son, and there was no need for a reason at all.
What's more, Turpan, an "unfilial son", had just raised troops not long ago, and Hami wanted to pull out his teeth and rip a piece of meat off Lao Tzu's leg.
This is a remarkable thing, the Son of Heaven is the scolding of the Turpan envoy, and he can't refute it at all.
However, the great emperor is still very self-contained, and the so-called precepts are just to the point, and the Turpan envoys have long been frightened by this vast heavenly formation, and they only kowtow again and again, and they don't even dare to come out.
The scene was very harmonious, and the Son of Heaven was very satisfied.
No matter how you say it, Turpan is just a child in the eyes of the Son of Heaven. If the child makes a mistake, he can just spank him, and there is no need to beat him to death.
Since children admit their mistakes and have a good attitude, they will naturally be rewarded as elders.
The Son of Heaven immediately ordered to give 100,000 horses of Zhejiang silk to the envoys of Turpan, which means that the Son of Heaven recognized Turpan's attitude of admitting mistakes and would not raise troops to attack again.
The envoys of Turpan were grateful to the Son of Heaven for their gratitude, and all the officials shouted long live, and a great court meeting ended successfully.

......
Returning to Xie Mansion from the front of Fengtian Palace, Xie Shen stretched his waist rarely.
The light of the envoys of Toturpan, the Son of Heaven gave all the courtiers a holiday, which was a great joy for the courtiers who did not have a fixed time to rest.
Xie Shen stole half a day of leisure, so he sat on a rattan chair in his yard and hummed a tune while drinking tea.
As he expected, the process of the pilgrimage meeting was like a script, and there was nothing new at all about scene after scene.
Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to suggest to the Son of Heaven that he should go through the Western Regions, not to mention that this kind of matter is very important, even if Xie Shen mentions it, he will not get an immediate reply.
It's better to perfect the details before going to the book.
Just thinking leisurely, the butler stumbled in and gasped: "Master, the lieutenant has arrived." ”
Eunuch? The lieutenant has arrived?
Xie Shen was stunned for a moment before he understood what it meant, and hurriedly said, "Quickly invite the lieutenant in." ”
Fortunately, his clothes were still neat, so he took a deep breath and went out.
The lieutenant is still young, and he should be a little nervous when he goes out of the palace for the first time.
After seeing Xie Shen, he said, "Hanlin has written and received the order." ”
Xie Shen immediately pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar to bow down.
"Thank you carefully."
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Hanlin Xiu Xie Shen is loyal and knowledgeable, and he is awarded the right praise and good service of Zhan Shifu Right Chunfang to talk about the East Palace, Qin this."
There are not many fancy words in this decree, and it can be described as concise and to the point.
Xie Shenxin said that Emperor Hongzhi seems to be a real person, and he doesn't engage in those false things.
Xie Shen was not surprised by the decree itself.
He had already heard from Eunuch Deng about the crown prince leaving the cabinet to study in advance.
The news of the celebrant eunuch naturally can't be faked, and the little prince is almost the cabinet of Hongzhi ten years in history, so it is not unusual for this time and space to be a little advanced.
Some time ago, Xie Shen was robbed by the people of He Zhangban in Dongchang, and then those cronies of He Zhangban were shot to death, which caused a shock to the government and the opposition for a while.
Civil officials wrote one after another, asking the Son of Heaven to severely punish Xiao Jing and dismiss the East Factory.
But the Son of Heaven was raised high and put down gently, only disposing of a few scapegoats, and did not move Xiao Jing at all.
The officials were naturally dissatisfied, and they flew in front of the imperial case like snowflakes, and almost sprayed the spitting stars on the face of the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven is a thin-skinned man with no violent tendencies. Faced with such a scene, he was at a loss for a moment.
In fact, if it was replaced by Emperor Jiajing, he would definitely order someone to drag these jumping civil officials out and beat them with a court staff.
The ass blossoms, and these officials are honest.
But Emperor Hongzhi can't do it, he is an old man with a kind heart, and he is still waiting for his name in history, how can he love the emperors.
In desperation, Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to announce that Xie Shen, the bitter master of this case, entered the palace to face the saint.
Emperor Hongzhi and Xie Shen talked hard for a long time, and finally persuaded Xie Shen to take the initiative to write a letter to express his position, so as to suppress the surging offensive of hundreds of officials.
Of course, Emperor Hongzhi knew that he was at a loss, and he also gave Xie Shen compensation.
This compensation is to grant Xie Shen Zhan Shifu the right Chunfang right zanshan position.
This is what Xie Shen has always wanted, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Anyway, all the people who robbed him have been shot, and only one of them is left, and there is only one He Zhangban who can't play flowers, and there will be a chance to rectify him in the future.
There are many kinds of East Palace attendants, such as the left and right concubines, the left and right virtues, the left and right Zhongyun, and the left and right praise and goodness can all be classified as the East Palace attendants. Although Right Zanshan only has six grades, this position must be obtained.
It may still be very risky for other dynasties to tie themselves to the East Palace, but the Hongzhi Dynasty will not.
Who called the favorite wife mad demon Emperor Hongzhi only has one wife and only one heir of Xiao Zhengde.
No matter how bad the little prince is, can the Son of Heaven pass on the throne to him?
Being an official of the East Palace is like embarking on a shortcut to the south, you can avoid many detours and achieve one step to the sky.
Others may think that Emperor Hongzhi still has many years to live in the Spring and Autumn Period, but Xie Shen knows that the Yang Shou of this Son of Heaven has only ten years left at most.
At this time, go to the East Palace to cultivate a relationship with Xiao Zhengde, and when Xiao Zhengde succeeds to the throne, Xie Shen is his own person who has the skill of being a dragon, and it will be much easier to be promoted.
At that time, Xie Shen will be almost twenty-five or sixteen, and his qualifications will be enough after ten years, and it will naturally be best if he can be appointed as a six-department squire to pave the way for the future cabinet.
Outsiders think that Xie Shen suffered a lot in that matter, and that's because they don't know the inside story.
The "deal" reached between His Majesty and Xie Xiu in the palace, uh... Ahem, there is a consensus, and it can not be easily shown publicly.
Xie Shen thanked the emperor for his kindness, and after receiving the holy decree, he smiled at the lieutenant official: "The envoy has worked, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go out of the pavilion to study in the near future, but the place of study is in the East Palace?" ”
