However, it is certainly not too stupid to say that Na Kuluo can be sent by Mandulu Khan to act as a negotiating envoy, and it can naturally be seen that Governor Yang and Eunuch Wang have different ideas, and they also compete with each other for credit - this is a common phenomenon in the Ming system.

Therefore, Pohuro is not in a hurry, thinking about meeting the source between the two giants and waiting for the price to sell. But what he didn't expect was that a few days later, Eunuch Wang suddenly retreated for some reason, and he only faced Governor Yang.

Governor Yang was very tough, and rejected all additional demands made by Pohulo as long as Mandulu Khan accepted the canonization of the imperial court. As a reward for canonization, the imperial court will allow a border market to be opened in Yulin, of course, only the Mandu Lu Department will be allowed to participate, and the other ministries are still not allowed.

Mandu Lu's own department is weak, and Pohuluo does not have much confidence, and he can't talk about flowers, and for a time all kinds of Tartars flew back and forth in the northwest land.

In the blink of an eye, it's the winter solstice, which is one of the most important festivals of the year. In the Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City of Beijing, the annual Winter Solstice Dynasty Meeting was held.

Zhu Jianshen, the son of Chenghua, sat on the throne of the deep palace with a blank expression and nothing to do, but he still performed the duties of the emperor with a clear look, although his mind had long been unknown where he had flown to. In fact, being able to sit on the throne honestly and fill the scene is already the greatest advantage of the Chenghua Son of Heaven.

The civil and military officials of the capital arranged Chaohe in order according to the order of the Eastern and Western Martial Arts and the grades, all of them wore the crown of virtuous people on their heads, wearing official uniforms with large plackets and oblique collars, and lined up from the Fengtian Hall to the square outside the palace. Between Bixia and the ministers, as well as around the temple and the square, there are densely packed pro-army generals and colonies, holding various flags and ceremonial weapons.

Such a grand and solemn occasion. Except for the bell chime, the drum rushing, the hunting flag wind, the praise and shouting, and the dance and worship the mountain, there will generally be no other noise. At least there will be no noise that will affect the whole of the court. Once this happens, it is disrespectful.

But there was an accident in the winter solstice dynasty of the fourteenth year of Chenghua. Thousands of ministers from inside the hall to outside the hall shook their knees, and were about to bow down to bow down and prostrate, when suddenly a very discordant shout disturbed the salute officials.

A pro-military lieutenant held a document in his hand, rushed over from the west corner gate of Fengtian Gate, and rushed to Fengtian Temple along the edge of the imperial road, shouting as he ran: "Yansui Town, six hundred miles of urgent documents, one hundred thousand urgent!" ”

Hundreds of officials were shocked, and similar 100,000 fires were encountered in the past, most of which were urgent military information sent from the frontier. The second is a major disaster.

Experienced bureaucrats all thought silently, there must be another Beiyu breaking through the border wall and entering the Kou, and the big festivals will not stop!

Although he collided with the ceremony of the Great Dynasty, no one stopped him, so he let the captain go up to the palace all the way, handed over the documents to the brocade guard officer beside the Son of Heaven, and then forwarded it to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven was probably unhappy because he was in a good mood and was disturbed, so he frowned and opened it to look at it. After a moment, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. handed it to the eunuch Qin Chang beside him.

Qin Chang saw it, his face changed, and he handed it to the eunuch Huai'en, who was the master of ceremonies. After Wynne saw it, he actually couldn't laugh anymore. Then he handed it to the celebrant and commanded, "Read! ”

The salute official read it to the ministers in the palace at a glance, "The minister's right deputy capital envoy, the governor of Yansui Town and other places, and the counselor Yang Hao of military affairs have heard that there is now a northern chieftain Mandu Lu." Su Yang Bixia's Tianwei, convinced Wanghua. Recently, an envoy was sent to look at the wind and descend. May I be canonized by the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the desert"

The scholars, scholars, ministers, and ministers of science and technology standing under the throne all scolded a few words when they heard this. What kind of fame is this Governor Yang of Yansui Town! chose this festival to scare people, which really shocked everyone, and thought that the army of the northern captives had entered the army.

In fact, Governor Yang was very wronged, and he sent six hundred miles to expedite the recital, but he couldn't calculate that it happened to be delivered to the palace at the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and who could calculate this.

According to the rules, this kind of 100,000 urgent things must be seen by the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, not to mention that he is putting on a big show, even if the Son of Heaven is asleep, he must be called up to see it.

After scolding Governor Yang and thinking about the content of this recital, the ministers were a little surprised, and suddenly felt like auditory hallucinations. This is not scientific, but it really made Yansui Town do it?

The previous Yansui Town played a new side plan, from the Son of Heaven to the imperial court, just with the attitude of giving it a try. After all, there is no need for soldiers and horses, no money and food, just by selling lip service, plus a border market, even if it is not successful, there is no loss. But today, I suddenly heard that Yansui Town really did it, how could I not be surprised?

Since the tragedy of Tumubao, the whole line of Daming has changed from offensive to defensive, and most of the time it has been passive to deal with it. In such a situation, it is simply unthinkable for the northern chieftains to submit. Mandulu Khan is still the Khan of the entire desert in name, how could he surrender so easily?

At this time, most of the ministers were stunned for a few moments, but the one who reacted the fastest was Shoufu Wan'an. This 10,000 shou fu is called "long live the old man" is by no means in vain, and at the critical moment, it can be seen that his character is criticized and he can still be the first assistant steadily.

As soon as the salute official's voice fell, Wan Shoufu fell to the ground like lightning, and while everyone else was still standing, he shouted three times alone: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”

Wan Shoufu's voice was very loud, and it echoed back and forth in the main hall a few times, attracting the Chenghua Heavenly Son to take advantage of the situation.

Of course, Zhu Jianshen was very excited. Although he is an otaku who entertains himself in the deep palace, after all, he is the descendant of Emperor Wenzong immediately, the grandson of Xuanzong who participated in the Northern Expedition at a young age, the son of Yingzong who dared to drive the expedition (but it became a great tragedy), and the grandfather of Wuzong who loves martial arts.

Therefore, this Son of Heaven still has a bit of admiration for martial arts, and Wang Zhi wants to mix up the side skills to please the Son of Heaven. Although this time it was not strictly a martial art, he was still extremely excited by the surrender of the Northern Khan.

After Wan An shouted, the other ministers reacted, and bowed down and congratulated under the guidance of the salute officer, and the news spread outside the hall, and there were pieces of mountains shouting long live. A routine winter solstice court meeting really brought a jubilant atmosphere.

After the Winter Solstice Festival Dynasty meeting, the Chenghua Emperor rarely worked diligently once, and quickly instructed the cabinet to do three things, one is to draw up the title, make the golden seal, and draft the edict; the second is to choose the envoy to the Mandu Lu Department, proclaim the decree and canonize; The third is to reward Yansui Town for meritorious deeds.

When the reward was awarded, it was very easy to handle Governor Yang, directly from the right deputy capital envoy to the right capital envoy, and the governor of the third grade became the governor of the second grade, only one step away from the Shangshu or the left capital imperial history. The civil and military officials of Yansui Border Town were also wiped out, and everyone was given a first-class salary.

However, it is more difficult for the imperial court to prepare for the side strategy writer, and it is not uncommon for students to make meritorious contributions, and the reward method is generally to reward a number of silver taels, but this time it is obviously unreasonable to only reward the silver taels and send them away.

If Fang Yingwu is in the system, it is easy to say, there is a way to upgrade the grade and add to the level. But Fang Yingwu is only a talent at present, and he can't be a person, which will damage the foundation of the country.

In fact, it is a way to transfer it, and it is a way to seal the son because of merit or the father because of merit, but it is not appropriate to discuss it back and forth.

Therefore, Zuihou can only put Fang Yingwu aside for the time being, list it in the Cabinet Cabinet Merit Book, and record the merit twice for the future. If Fang Yingwu can enter the official career, the reward for this meritorious service twice can be made up, and it is generally an additional official level, and the vacancy will be filled immediately.

This treatment makes many people a little red-eyed, and there is a promotion opportunity waiting before becoming an official, which is simply unprecedented and unprecedented. I don't know what to do if this party should not go well in the imperial examination in the future, and I don't want to take the prison route and be unable to enter the official career.

The title given to Mandulu proposed by the cabinet is very uncreative is "King Shunyi", and the golden seal of the edict is being produced in an orderly manner. In fact, this kind of canonization has greater political significance than practical significance, but there is the principle of political command, political significance does not mean that it is not important, and façade work is the greatest courtesy.

The most troublesome thing is to choose the envoys. According to the rules, as long as such an errand comes back smoothly, it is a merit, and it is generally necessary to add an official. And this is a very face-saving errand, and the opportunity to canonize the northern captives is extremely rare, so naturally there are more people who want to go.

The selection of the envoys this time represents the face of the Celestial Empire, and the turbidity current is not to be considered, and can only be selected in the Hanlin, Fang Bureau, Zhongshu Department, and Ministry of Rites, in fact, under normal circumstances, these departments are responsible for this aspect of affairs.

But there are still too many candidates, and there are hundreds of people scattered and scattered, and the real one in a hundred is in the spotlight. So one pass after another appeared, and under the attention of the Manchu Dynasty, it was not even easy to use the back door of the relationship. After all, this envoy also represents the face of the Son of Heaven in a sense, and the Son of Heaven does not want to be embarrassed.

First of all, if you are too old, you will look old and twilight, and all those over fifty years old will be excluded; Those who are too young are not good, they seem too frivolous, and all those under the age of thirty are excluded.

After screening the age, it is to screen the appearance, and those with medium and below appearance are not good, and even mediocrity must be rejected. It is necessary to be dignified, handsome, and outstanding in order to represent the Ming Dynasty.

This pass was the most cruel, and immediately eliminated two-thirds of the remaining candidates, after all, the mediocre-looking majority on this shijie was the majority, and there were only a dozen candidates left at this time.

Then compare the conduct and integrity, as a person who represents the court to envoy to foreign countries, if there is no integrity, how can he deter foreign countries?

Therefore, all candidates who have been stained, and even those who are not good or bad and have no reputation, must be rejected. Many people beat their chests for this, and they usually don't brush up on their prestige, so it's useless to hold their feet temporarily.

There is also a competition for knowledge, the state of culture of the Celestial Empire, of course, those who are slightly inferior in learning cannot be envoys. But there is no first, and this is not good for a while.

Therefore, the candidates' results in the imperial examinations over the years have been turned over, and it is a complete tragedy for all those who are ranked lower. In this competition that is even more cruel than the imperial examination, those who do not enter the top ten of the second class are dangerous.

I have to say that the Ming Dynasty is full of talents. There is nothing else, there are all kinds of readers, and all kinds of books are complete. In such a harsh and even impersonal screening, there are still fish that can pass all the levels and meet all the conditions.

The appearance of this dynasty is the first, unsurpassed, the integrity of this dynasty is among the best, known as one of the five admonitions of the Hanlin Dynasty, the imperial examination Zhejiang Xie Yuan, the fourth in the second class of the palace examination, the age is not old and young, the early thirties of the Hanlin Academy Ji Shi Fang Qingzhi made a brilliant debut.
