In the early dynasty, the cloud card was loud and loud, the emperor ascended the throne and sat in the palace, facing the south and back to the north, his arms and shoulders were hanging down, his eyes were like torches, his demeanor was majestic, his Royal Highness and his ministers were in the east and west, one by one the court clothes and crowns, the clothes and armor were bright, holding the wat board, the eyes did not squint, the eunuch elongated the voice and shouted, the hundred officials and civil and military officers saluted together, three bows and nine buckles, three shouts long live, after the ceremony, they got up and stood again, held their breath and condensed, waiting for the emperor's instructions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Emperor Xuande glanced at His Royal Highness's ministers, and then gently raised his hand, the eunuch comprehended, took half a step forward, waved the dust in his hand, and preached loudly, "The emperor has a decree, the ministers have something to do early, and there is nothing to retreat from the court!" ”

This is the practice of the court meeting -- the Great Zhou Yuan is vast, the population is large, and all kinds of things happen every day in all parts of the country, these things are big and small, some are urgent and some are slow, some are light and some are serious, some things can be handled by local officials, some things must be decided by high-ranking officials in the court, and some things must be approved by the Holy Emperor's Imperial Review, and most of them are sent to the various ministries in the capital in the form of a recital, and the various ministries will handle them according to their authority after examination, and those who have no authority to deal with them will be handed over to the emperor, and then issued to the local authorities for implementation after the emperor's instructions. Of course, the state affairs are busy, there are many affairs, these pieces can not be handled first-come, first-served, last-to-deal way, important, urgent, and influential will be ranked first, not so important, urgent, not so big impact will be ranked behind, and because the emperor's energy is limited, there are a number of pieces that can be reviewed every day, plus the emperor himself is diligent or not, so some pieces may be handed over to get instructions quickly, and some can not be processed for a few days, ten days, or even months. At the same time, there are some emergencies due to the suddenness of the incident, it is too late to write a chapter and wait for the emperor's instructions, and they must be dealt with as soon as possible at the first time and get the emperor's instructions, so as long as the courtiers feel that it is necessary, they can report to the emperor in person at this time, and the emperor can immediately give instructions, or assign the corresponding officials to be responsible, or hand them over to the courtiers for discussion and study. Is there a chance to make the sound go straight to the sky? Of course, having this opportunity power does not mean that this opportunity power can be used casually, you must know that the emperor's time is very precious, and most of the major matters related to the security and development of the country are to be dealt with, if it is just to brush up on the sense of existence to find some insignificant little things to make the emperor bother, I am afraid that without waiting for the emperor to be angry, the other officials in the same hall have already resigned, and they are fighting in unison, and they are accused of disturbing the government, and ask the emperor to demote the officials and drive them out of the court, so if there is no thing that really has to be dealt with in a hurry, Few people stood up and spoke indiscriminately, so as not to waste the time of the emperor and his colleagues and bring disaster upon themselves.

"Qi Qi Sheng, Henan has recently rained heavily, the Yellow River has flooded, the flood has affected hundreds of miles, more than 1,000 people have died, after the disaster, the fertile fields have been flooded, the houses have collapsed, and the carcasses of livestock and animals can be seen everywhere, there will be a major epidemic after the disaster, and it may be difficult to deal with it with the strength of the Henan government. The secretary of the ministry came out of the class to report, holding high the chapter written last night.

Emperor Xuande bowed slightly, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward, took the chapter and returned to the dragon book case, raised his hands above the top, and sent the chapter to Emperor Xuande.

Emperor Xuande took the chapter and opened it to read, and after reading it, he took the Zhu pen and gave instructions, and at the same time said, "Yuan Zhenye, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, went to Henan for disaster relief, and the household department allocated 50,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of grain. ”

"Subordinate Decree"

The emperor is a golden mouth, words follow the law, every word said above the court is a holy decree, the named officials and department heads hurriedly go out to receive the decree, as for the official documents, after the early dynasty, there will be a special person responsible for the handover.

"Qi Qi Shengshang, the Northwest Huns frequently invade the border, plunder my border people, seize my property, if not punished as soon as possible, I am afraid that its arrogance will become more and more prosperous, and it will eventually become a big disaster, please Shengshang strengthen the defense of the Northwest, increase the strength and military resources, and send out to attack and destroy several Xiongnu tribes near the border, so as to prevent trouble before it burns."

There was also a letter from the Ministry of War to ask for instructions, but this time Emperor Xuande did not give instructions immediately after reading the fold as before, but first asked His Royal Highness the opinions of his ministers.

Ten years ago, the Huns suffered heavy casualties, the young and middle-aged people were seven out of ten, and the rest were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, ten years, and it was not enough to recover their vitality, and the frequent offenses were nothing more than the occasional things of small tribes, the scale was not large, and it was not enough to cause trouble in a short period of five or six years, with the strength of the northwest region, as long as they stuck to a few passes, it was enough to control the overall situation and prevent the Xiongnu from going south on a large scale. As for taking the initiative to attack the Huns, the minister thought it was inappropriate, one of my Great Zhou troops was mainly infantry, good at defending but not good at attacking, and the Huns were more cavalry, day by day, walking like the wind, good at attacking but not good at defending, plus the department was mostly on the edge of the desert, once the war was unfavorable you could immediately flee into the depths of the desert, and it was often difficult for our army to defeat the enemy chieftain, but once the war was unfavorable, it was difficult for our army to retreat quickly to ask the enemy to pursue, so once the battle was lost, it would often be annihilated by the whole army, so it was unfamiliar with the terrain, Taking the initiative in a skirmish in which the troops move slowly is likely to be more likely than worth the loss, killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 yourself. ”

The emperor's initiative to inquire was an opportunity for the ministers to show their talents, and even if there were some inappropriate ones, the emperor would not be held accountable, so the officials spoke very enthusiastically.

"The huge people are not right, it is precisely because the Huns are weak at this time, and there has not yet been the kind of heroic generation of heroes who respond to all calls and command the tribes of Mobei, so our army should go out to attack, and suppress the belligerence of the Huns in time, so that they dare not start wars again, and if they blindly stick to it and let the Xiongnu tribes develop freely, then with the warlike nature of the Huns, within a few years, there will definitely be a king who has the ability to end up in the tribes of the desert north, and the spark will become a prairie fire, and then stop it, even if it can achieve the final victory, It is also necessary to pay several times or even more than ten times more than to attack earlier! ”

Since it is a discussion, there will naturally be different voices, the military master war, the civil master peace, this is the most common situation since ancient times, and even within the army, the civilian official group has its own factional interests, and at the moment it is fighting on its own grounds, and the quarrel is in full swing.
