Chapter 239: A Good Official Becomes an Official
On this night, Fan Jieru, an official of the Qin Heavenly Prison, saw that the stars in the south sky were raining down, and the main killer was killed.
Hundreds of thousands of officials in the Fengtianmen government almost all saw the Phoenix meteor shower in the eleventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, everyone looked up and looked up when the heart was shocked, in the Ming Dynasty, although it is a capital crime to say that the folk private astronomical calendar is a capital crime, but even if it is not through the calendar, I have always read the "Spring and Autumn Period", this is called the moon occultation Xuanyuan, the Lord has a military affair, is it difficult, there must be a war?
The ancient early dynasty was actually very cheating, just like the poem wrote [marrying a golden beetle son-in-law for no reason, living up to the incense affair in the early dynasty], when the official had to get up in the middle of the night, the third watch queued up outside the noon gate to wait for the palace gate to open, and then the fish penetrated into the palace, no matter how old you are, whether you are sick or not, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the weather is hot and cold, you have to stand there, and you have to have the posture of an official, there are five hundred brocade guards around will walk back and forth, specifically to check, to see who coughs, spits, farts...... Once there is a behavior that does not emphasize spiritual civilization, Jinyiwei will use it to write it down, and use it as a reference when taking the test, and if it is serious, he will directly go to the court on the spot or even send him to prison.
[Yueming stands next to the Yugou Bridge, and the palace gate is not released to the court], in fact, relying on the officials who do not go to the court to grab a handful, it is impossible for Jinyiwei to really go to the official's home to drag the official out of the quilt, even if it is Zhu Yuanzhang's kind of god-killing emperor, many times he turns a blind eye, just like the famous anecdote, Dr. Qian Zai compiles a book, and the mouth occupies a must. When will you have pastoral happiness and sleep until the world is cooked], Zhu Yuanzhang learned from Jinyiwei, and said to Qian Zai the next day, I don't think so! How about changing the word worry! Qian Zai was scared half to death, and Zhu Yuanzhang could still joke with him [I let you go home to sleep today].
The early dynasty of this cheating father was obviously extremely inefficient, thousands of officials stood there for a few hours, and could only deal with five things, and officials who were not above the fourth grade could not speak, and hundreds of officials complained in private, if you have to make an analogy, the early dynasty is equivalent to the National People's Congress five hundred years later, and it is held every day.
However, Zhu Yijun in the eleventh year of Wanli has not been in power for a long time, and he is still full of enthusiasm for national affairs, and in a few years, he will understand that the daily morning dynasty is called [pit father], and the holy decree he wrote is called [piece of paper] without the seal of the cabinet, and then, the enthusiasm plummeted, and finally understood one thing, the huge empire did not turn without him as the emperor.
For today's early dynasty, Zhu Yijun is still very much looking forward to it, but the sudden Phoenix meteor shower caught the Ming court off guard, at this time the Ming Dynasty has begun to make great strides in the astronomical calendar, and it has been recorded in history that there have been several Qin Tianjian calculation of eclipse errors, so the early dynasty dealt with five things routinely, Zhu Yijun was very depressed and found that he had to give an order to blame himself, that is, because of a meteor shower, everyone thought that he Zhu Yijun had done something unseemly, and God was angry, is warning him, then, as the emperor, he has to retrieve his virtues, and tell the world, in the words of later generations, that is, no matter what is fine, write a review, to be profound, but also to be published.
Whoever encounters this will be very wronged, but as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun can only admit that he is unlucky, pinching his nose and admitting that the Phoenix meteor shower was made by him Zhu Yijun...... Zhu Yijun, who was sitting listlessly on the dragon chair, felt that what Concubine Ai said made sense at this time, compared with these old foxes in the court, he did eat less salt for decades.
However, what he didn't expect was that at this time, someone came out to say fair words, and it was Wang Xijue, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, who spoke, Wang Xijue believed that since the death of the old Myanmar Wang Mang Yinglong in the ninth year of Wanli, Myanmar was suddenly unrestrained...... Zhu Yijun, who said this to Wang Xijue, the third assistant of the cabinet, was overjoyed, and just said in his heart that there was finally a reasonable person, his buttocks were raised, and he was just about to get up to speak, Zhang Cheng coughed twice in a low voice beside him, and he suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, and immediately sat down again.
Wang Xijue made a long speech, and at the end he said that he should send honorable and capable people to make overall plans for Burma affairs, such as such a small state, it is indeed going to be beaten.
At this time, the sun has begun to climb up, there are eunuchs in the distance began to pour water on the top of the palace with a water wheel, so that the whole palace can become cool, three or four people high water wheel from the royal ditch to pump out water, and then bring it to the palace, the water flows down the ridge of the roof, falls on the water mill white jade splash foggy, as soon as the sun comes out, it will refract the rainbow bridge next to the water wheel, like a fairyland.
However, the officials had long been accustomed to it, and they didn't pay attention at all, but just stared at the university scholar Wang Xijue, and some people vaguely smelled the smell of conspiracy from it.
As expected, Wang Xijue raised one person, Zheng Guofan, the younger brother of Concubine De Niangniang, who was the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in Nanjing, and made overall plans for Burma affairs.
As soon as he said this, the princes of the court and the central government immediately understood, Wang Ge Lao was communiquing his personal vendetta, who didn't know that Uncle Zheng Guo used the Fran cannon to demolish Wang Ge's hometown, and now Wang Ge Lao played a literati trick and arched that Uncle Zheng Guo to the southern miasma. Some kind-hearted people couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in their hearts that this Wang Ge Lao is really the surname that must be reported, this is too much to say, Uncle Zheng Guo demolished your family's mansion, but it was also your family's young master who took the lead in provoking others, and now you want to kick people to Yunnan, that ghost place, is it for people? is old, playing such a skill, too inferior.
The so-called court, in fact, is the epitome of the market, the axiom always has to yield and power, even if there is a kind, afraid of Wang Xijue's power, at this time do not dare to speak, you know, at this time Zhang Siwei can no longer go to the court, Shen Shixing temporarily acting as the first assistant, then, as the third assistant Wang Xijue is actually the second assistant, for a national uncle to offend the second assistant, this matter, most Wenchen will not do.
However, there are always stunned Qing, who just impeached Zhang Siwei and the high-spirited Zuo Du Yushi Ye Mengxiong is such a character, and he immediately bombarded Wang Xijue, ridiculing him for a personal vendetta, and there is no old man's measure.
Wang Xijue was not afraid, stunned and said that he was a meritocracy, and the inspectors of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have impeachment indicators every year, if you don't impeach how many people, it will prove that you are unqualified as the imperial historian, so the imperial historians are unsparing no effort to bite people, with Ye Longtan taking the lead, hundreds of imperial historians immediately began to bombard Wang Ge Lao.
I have to say that Wang Xijue is really talented and learned, in the end, he will try the first, a person tongue battle group Confucianism, more than a hundred imperial historians were stunned and didn't move him, Ye Mengxiong's face was ugly, and he almost rolled up his sleeves and punched Wang Xijue in the face, and couldn't help but say: "A yellow-mouthed child, how to ...... for the governor"
His words have already risen to the level of a battle of will, to put it bluntly, it is your Wang Xijue who said the east, and I wanted to say the west, but as soon as the words came out, I immediately regretted it in my heart.
"Qi Nantang is sixteen years old as a commander, and he is dignified." Wang Xijue snorted coldly, took Qi Jiguang as an example, and then asked rhetorically: "Qi Nantang does the commanding work, so Zheng Fengzhang can't do the governor's affairs?" ”
As soon as he said this, Yushi was speechless, it was really because this was not easy to speak, if you want to keep talking, could it be that Uncle Zheng Guo is not as good as Qi Jiguang? Even if this is the truth, it can't be said like this, isn't it to offend the emperor and Concubine De to death, some suddenly retreated, and said that this may not be Concubine De taking the opportunity to add an official to her younger brother, why bother to come, and shrank back immediately.
And Wang Xijue was in high spirits, and said loudly: "Uncle Zheng Guo's old servant is from Qi Nantang's tent, more than ten years ago, a knife and a shot cut out of the real hundred households, known as the first in Zhejiang's swordsmanship, and later committed to the family of the national master, it can be said that Qi Nantang's art of war Uncle Zheng Guo learned a thorough, although Uncle Zheng Guo is a little younger, but the jade is not a weapon, a few more years of training, and then he will be a famous general who will not be born in the world, and when the time comes, he will be transferred to Beijing, and I can ensure that my Ming border pass is safe......"
He said something as if Zheng Guofan didn't do this thing as the governor of the city, he was sorry for the Ming Dynasty, sorry for the court, and even more sorry for the emperor, and the eyes of the hundred officials were good, and they could see the young year of Wanli above, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Wang Ge is too square, this is to offend the emperor to death!
But in fact, Zhu Yijun sat on it with a cloudy face because he never expected that a few words from Concubine Ai yesterday would have such an effect, and then introspect, he can be said to be taught by Zhang Taiyue, but his vision is not worthy of Concubine Ai, so doesn't it mean that he was fooled by these Confucian students from beginning to end?
It's no wonder that Concubine Ai likes to be sarcastic at every turn, and I am a good student taught by the scholars. Zhu Yijun sat on it, gritting his teeth in his heart, these bastards are all masters who say one thing and do another, and there is no good thing.
But his face fell in the eyes of others, it inevitably became that the emperor was unwilling to let his brother-in-law do this Lao Shizi Du Du Governor's affairs, and everyone thought that this was normal, after all, Yunnan was a land of smoke miasma at that time, and the fireworks flourished in Jiangnan, and the six Lang officials in Nanjing were all known as officials who failed in the struggle, not to mention the remote Yunnan! To be honest, there are really not many people who are willing to go there to become officials, even those who are the most greedy and good at making money, and they are not willing to go to Yunnan to be some garrison eunuchs, silver mine town guards and other positions.
As for Ye Mengxiong, he retreated, once he didn't speak, those supervising imperial historians suddenly lost motivation, and they all became lazy like dogs basking in the sun.
This governor is the official of the second grade, it is said that the good official is only fourteen years old, and as soon as he becomes an official, he is the governor of the second grade, which seems to be a bit of a child's play, but in fact, because the governor of the five armies in the middle and late Ming Dynasty only has the right to command the army, which is quite similar to the so-called commander-in-chief of the former enemy in later generations, but a title, such as Qi Jiguang hangs the title of the left governor of the five armies, and Zheng Guozhang is the same, but who is afraid of Qi Jiguang in the court, but a martial arts ear, and like the military salary and official positions are all in the hands of the military department, to put it bluntly, As long as the military department chokes the military salary, all the governors will be wiped out, and they are not farts, and a small soldier can not put the governor in his eyes.
The people in the court seem to have forgotten that Uncle Zheng Guo is the master of Fusang Yinshan, he is so rich that he is unpleasant, and the money in the military department is really not in his eyes.
However, just like when the Jurchens first started in history, no one believed that the little Jurchen would finally win the world, these people in the court either thought that Wang Ge Lao took the opportunity to take revenge on Uncle Zheng Guo, or thought that Concubine De took the opportunity to promote her younger brother, but no one believed that Uncle Zheng Guo could really do anything.
In this early dynasty, Zheng Guofan officially became the governor of the five armies of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty.
