Chapter 300: The Situation in the Western Regions (Part 1)
The speed at which anything spreads in Kyoshi is astonishing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Soon, from the Gonggong princes to the people of Limin, they all knew the news that Hanlin Xiu Xie Shen was "kidnapped" by Dongchang.
For a while, the crowd was excited, and the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate wrote to impeach Dongchang, and even Xiao Jing was sprayed with foaming stars on his face.
The Son of Heaven is helpless, he just changed the commander of the East Factory, and he can't continue to change people, right?
Besides, although Xie Shen was found in the East Factory, it cannot be proved that Xiao Jing instructed him to kidnap him.
In addition, Xiao Jing rushed to the Son of Heaven to cry that someone had harmed him, and the Son of Heaven was moved by compassion.
People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless.
The Son of Heaven is also a human being, so he is naturally affected by emotions.
In addition to the late eunuch Huai'en, Xiao Jing is the most trusted eunuch around the Son of Heaven.
In the absence of absolute evidence, the Son of Heaven does not want to cut off his arm.
Therefore, the final result was that Eunuch Xiao introduced a few Dongchang fans as scapegoats, and he invited a guilty of negligence.
This kind of evasion of the important and trivial, and the move of leading the water to the east was naturally resisted by the officials.
They have written to ask the Son of Heaven to order the three divisions to try the case, and thank you for repairing a justice.
The Son of Heaven was as big as a fight for a while.
Since he succeeded to the throne, he has always demanded himself from the standards of Gu Mingjun, and the evaluation he has received is not bad.
Why are these officials still dissatisfied, and they can't even let him keep a body by his side.
The Son of Heaven finally understood that the speech officials or civil officials were not targeting Yang Peng and Xiao Jing personally, but the entire group of eunuchs.
As long as it is a eunuch in the palace, in the eyes of civil officials, it is an alien who exudes a foul smell.
After they defeated the herald, they set the target as eunuchs, as if they were the only ones who were the most innocent out of the mud and unstained.
This made the Son of Heaven very annoyed, and he suppressed the matter.
However, the officials did not seem to have any intention of dying, and the music still flew like snowflakes. What made the Son of Heaven even more annoyed was that some ministers and even ministers also wrote to cheer for the officials.
In the end, the Son of Heaven had no choice but to declare that Xie Shen, the bitter master of this case, entered the palace to face the saint.
No one knew what happened in the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace that day. However, after Xie Xiu wrote out of the palace, he took the initiative to write a book, and thanked Tianzi for disposing of the grace of Dongchang Fanzi.
This is equivalent to approving the previous Son of Heaven's disposition.
For a while, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were dumbfounded, knowing that it was useless to continue to mess around, so they stopped reading books.
However, this is still an unsolved case in the eyes of the courtiers, but because of the tough attitude of the Son of Heaven, Xie Xiu compromised.
didn't mention it, but said that on this day, Xie Shen made an appointment with Wang Shouwen, Xie Pi, and Jia Yong to have wine in the mansion. The reason why I don't go to the restaurant anymore is really palpitating.
Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope.
Although it is not so exaggerated, for a period of time, if there are not enough guards to protect him, Xie Shen will not dare to go to the restaurant to show off again.
Wang Shouwen took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Shenxian, you handled it well this time. The murder of those Metropolitan Inspectorates wants you to jump out and use them as gunmen, and you can't go against their will. ”
Xie Pi frowned and said, "But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the people introduced by Eunuch Xiao are scapegoats, and Brother Shen has suffered a loss." ”
Wang Shouwen shook his head and said: "It seems to be a loss, but in fact, it is a big profit." Don't forget that Brother Shen Xian was edicted into the palace by His Majesty. It must have been His Majesty's attitude that Brother Shen Xian wrote to speak. Eating a small loss in exchange for Jane in the emperor's heart is definitely earning. ”
Seeing that the two of them were fighting with red faces, Xie Shen only felt funny.
"Isn't it, Brother Shenxian, you should say something."
"Say what? You two don't have to think about it. ”
Xie Shenzhi was very helpless, and glanced at Jia Yong beside him, as if asking for help.
Jia Yong immediately understood, and said with a smile: "This Shaoxing rice wine is really very different from the taste of our northerners, I don't know how many treasures Xie Xiushu still has, can you even out one or two jars to let Jia relieve his hunger." ”
Xie Shen said: "This is the treasure in the mansion of Lord Wang, I still have ten altars here, if Brother Ming and Brother don't dislike it, you can take them all." ”
Jia Yong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can this be made, one or two altars are enough." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Wang Shouwen on the side was brought up by the two, and also said: "Brother Minghe can go and get it, it's a big deal that I will supply Brother Shenxian in full." ”
"I heard that the envoy of Turpan is going to Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven in the near future, and I don't know what strange tributes he has brought."
Xie Pi's father is a member of the cabinet, so he is naturally well-informed, Xie Shen heard the words and said, "Turpan sent an envoy to see Your Majesty?" ”
In his impression, Turpan committed Hami again in the ninth year of Hongzhi. forced Hami to ask for help from the Ming court.
The Son of Heaven ordered Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, to take charge of this matter, and Master Ma was also very angry, and drove the Turpan people out of Hami under a plot.
It's just that according to the historical process, Turpan will have to go back and forth several times, and it will not easily send envoys to pay tribute.
This made Xie Shen puzzled, could it be that the butterfly effect was becoming more and more obvious?
"What's so strange about this, didn't Brother Shen read the Di newspaper? The people of Turpan have been beaten and lost their armor, crying for their fathers and mothers. ”
Wang Shouwen looked proud, the Ming Dynasty has been relaxed since the change of Tumubao, not only is it often taken advantage of by the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but even the Hu State of the Western Regions like Turpan dares to kick his nose in the face and compare with the big brother. This is a bit unacceptable, although the Ming Dynasty is dominated by civil officials, it is not bloodless.
Especially a young man like Xie Pi, when he was strong in blood, when he saw that the imperial court had won a big victory, he naturally clenched his fists and showed off.
Xie Shen is still quite interested in the two enemies of Turpan Hami.
The Ming Dynasty's control over the Western Regions was very weak, and if Hami could be used as a springboard to control Turpan, the Western Regions Corridor, which had been difficult to open, could be classified as the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence.
Since the Tang Dynasty, except for the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, there has been a lack of control over the Western Regions.
But even Mengyuan didn't really develop the Western Regions as a core area.
Now there is an opportunity, if you can really control the Western Regions, it is indeed beneficial in the present generation.
Any traveler wants to change history, but very little can really be done. Because history has a strong ability to self-correct, even if the details change the general trend, they will not change easily.
But this thing is different.
At present, Turpan has sent envoys, which proves that the general trend of history has changed to a certain extent. In this case, as long as Xie Shen proposed the national policy of strategizing the Western Regions as a prophet, it would be easily accepted by Emperor Hongzhi.
Jingluo Western Regions is not just as simple as expanding the border and raising horses, but also can solve land contradictions through population migration, and the great dilemma that is difficult to solve in the late Ming Dynasty can even be solved in advance.
