As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar!

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu thought that Shen Yichen would not dare to speak, and also thought that he would support the words of Ma Ang, the servant of the Criminal Department, or Zhang Rui, the waiter of the Household Department, but he never thought that he would be so "cowardly"!

You must know that Shen Yichen is at this age, and he is just in the stage of being young and frivolous. In particular, he also set a record for the three yuan, the first and sixth yuan, and he should be arrogant and not take the Tartars in his eyes.

As a result, Shen Yichen was like a great enemy, and let the emperor guard against the tile spur first!

What are you kidding, now the Ming country is rich and strong, and the soldiers are strong. Even if you have the heart of disobedience first, when the time comes, the soldiers will be defeated like a chicken, so why be afraid?

Hearing that Shen Yichen finally expressed his opinion, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, shook his head secretly.

It wasn't that he thought like other officials that the Mongol Watts were vulnerable.

After all, in the ninth year of orthodoxy, Zhu Yong went out of the north to conquer the three guards of Wuliangha, and the Mongolian iron cavalry is an old opponent, and he knows what his strength is.

Zhu Yong just understands that even if many things are told the truth, you can't say them openly in the court.

Especially with Shen Yichen's seniority, it can't be said!

After all, he is still young and not forbearant enough, and the way of being an official needs to be slowly honed in the future.

"Shen Yichen grew up in Yingtianfu, have you seen what a Tartar looks like in this life?"

"Huangkou Xiaoer, he dares to make a big statement above the court, he really doesn't know how thick the sky is."

"Grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, when did we literati become so cowardly?"

"Sure enough, it's a member of the eunuch party, but there are no eggs!"

Shen Yichen's words, among the high-ranking officials in the palace, in addition to the disdain in their hearts, still maintained a calm appearance.

But in the group of Hanlin and the Six Departments and Thirteen Dao Officials outside the hall, they are completely unbearable, and the sarcasm continues.

What they all have in common are low-level and low-level civil officials, and the more the Ming Dynasty is a group of civil officials at the bottom, the more they follow the so-called scholars and doctors, and they cannot tolerate the slightest "pollution" from the outside world.

You say that they are attacking dissidents in this way, and it is the selfishness of the civilian clique, but in fact it is not accurate.

Many people really stick to the beliefs in their hearts, believing that what they are doing is a righteous act, for the country and the people, and they have never thought of seeking personal gain.

Take the court staff as an example, many later generations said that the civil officials deliberately deceived the emperor to fight, and there was a suspicion of selling fame and reputation.

There were indeed such people after the late Ming Dynasty, but there were not many in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

In fact, since the beginning of the Ming Zhengde period, the eunuch Liu Jin was in power, and in order to take revenge on those civil officials who disobeyed him, he had beaten and killed 23 people with a cane outside the noon gate.

In the fourteenth year of Zhengde, in order to oppose the southern tour of Ming Wuzong, 146 ministers were brutally beaten by the court staff, and eleven ministers died under the rod.

Not to mention the Jiajing Dynasty's "Great Rites Discussion" incident, 134 people were killed on the spot.

The mortality rate of the court staff is not low, and this is only killed on the spot, and generally if you are not killed, you have to be imprisoned, and you will die after being tortured.

To cheat the court staff about this mortality rate, probably because he thinks he has a long life.

Even so, in the face of what they think is right, there are still countless low-level civil officials who are not afraid of death, and they are fighting for imperial power one after another.

even wrote the song "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", and left a famous sentence.

"The country has been raising soldiers for 150 years, and the righteousness of the war is today!"

The literati value integrity and ignore life and death, and many people have done it by practicing their words.

It's just that what they don't know is that their sacrifice has always been under the control of the high-level, and in essence has become the product of the struggle for power.

In the later period, it was even more pure, and the group of speech and officials completely fell, and they did not even have the original intention of upholding justice, and completely devoted themselves to the party struggle.

The party is the same and the same is different, and the friends are treacherous!

The true spirit of the scholar was trampled underfoot, and "clear stream" became synonymous with refined self-interest. The high-level civil officials and eunuchs pointed out where to hit the bones, and disregarded the political bottom line and the overall situation of the country for the sake of factional selfishness.

In the end, with the decay of the Ming Dynasty, it disappeared in the long river of history.

Listening to the ridicule of the ministers outside the hall, Shen Yichen just smiled self-deprecatingly, without much emotional fluctuations.

When you choose to stand up and speak, you will inevitably face the consequences of your words, and Shen Yichen is mentally prepared.

At the same time, his words of support for Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji also surprised Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.

Shen Yichen is only eighteen years old, and it has only been more than a year since he came to Beijing from Yingtianfu, and he has never been in contact with the frontier government. How do you know that the Tile Spur Department also has a heart of disobedience first, and it is clear that it is necessary to take precautions in advance?

"Why did the Shen Qing family say this?"

Zhu Qizhen couldn't figure it out, so he asked.

And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also looked at Shen Yichen, wanting to hear what kind of "high opinion" he could say.

Without the panic and panic as he imagined, Shen Yichen said with a self-assured expression: "Back to Your Majesty, as early as the Hongxi period, the father of the ancestors, Tuhuan, was ambitious, and wantonly annexed the Oirat tribes and unified the Mongolian Tile Division. ”

"In the third year of orthodoxy, Tuhuan defeated the Tatar tribe of Adai Khan and Duoer Zhibo, and has actually unified Mobei Mongolia."

"Now he has inherited his father's business, and while attacking the small countries in the Western Regions to the west to obtain their wealth and population. On the one hand, he sent troops to the east, preparing to attack the three guards of Wuliangha, and even coerced our Ming vassal to pay tribute to Korea. ”

"Once the plan is successful, he will become the de facto Khan of all Mongolia. Just like what Uncle Jing Yuan said, it is no less powerful than the original Northern Yuan, how can it not be a threat to my Ming Dynasty? ”

Shen Yichen talked eloquently and described in detail the development process of the Mongolian Waspur tribe. Even the pace and ambition of reunification in the future have been speculated and speculated.

This level of understanding is no less than that of the military generals who have been stationed on the Nine Sides all the year round, so that the expressions on the faces of the civil and military officials who despised and ridiculed him before can be described as very exciting!

This kid is young, how can he be so precious to the Tartars thousands of miles away?

The attainments in the Four Books and the Five Classics have reached the level of the head of the Six Yuan, and there is still time to read miscellaneous books and pay attention to the situation in northern Xinjiang?

The ability of this son is as terrifying as a demon!

After thinking about it, the only reasonable explanation that can be found is that these remarks were taught by Cheng Guogong.

Only when Zhu Yong went out to conquer Mongolia all the year round would he know so much about the Watt Thorn tribe, which gave Shen Yichen a chance to speak wildly.

But the problem is that what Xu Xi, the secretary of the military department, played, was not in the established eight pieces, but the urgent report of the general army of Yansui Town last night. How did Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, know that Shen Yichen could prepare in advance.

It doesn't seem to make sense logically!

"What the champion said is very true, he is worthy of being the prince of the country, and he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs!"

When Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji heard Shen Yichen's words, he was extremely excited. He never thought that there would be a young junior in the court who knew the situation of the Mongolian tribes so well, and even saw through Yexian's ambitions.

Shen Yichen is the third yuan and the first, and his literary achievements have reached the peak. Now it seems that he is also talented in martial arts, and it will be easy for him to enter the prime minister in the future!

Wang Ji's praise is equivalent to acquiescing that what Shen Yichen said is accurate and not made up randomly.

The Kedao officials outside the palace were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to say anything if they wanted to refute, after all, they really didn't know what was going on in the Mongolian tribes, and they were pure mouth players......

But Zhu Qizhen listened to Shen Yichen's narration, and his mood was not very beautiful.

Because the tile spur department has grown step by step, in a sense, it was caused by Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong.

In that year, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, destroyed the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the last emperor, Emperor Yuan Shun, retreated to Mobei, forming a nomadic regime that coexisted with the Ming Dynasty, known as the Northern Yuan Dynasty in history.

In the face of this remnant Yuan Dynasty force, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty after the founding of the country adhered to the strategy of taking the initiative to attack. In particular, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's five Northern Expeditions simply broke through the Northern Yuan Dynasty and split it into three major forces, namely the Tile Division, the Tatar Department and the Uliangha.

Among them, the Tatar department is the orthodox Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the bloodline of Genghis Khan's golden family. The Waspur Department was equivalent to the princes and kings, and they fought against each other to compete for the position of the Great Khan of the Mongols. The last Uliangha Department was basically attached to the Ming Dynasty, and also set up a guard command envoy, also known as the Wuliangha Sanwei.

This split of the Northern Yuan Dynasty can be said to be the established national policy of the Ming Dynasty. Adopting the policy of "using razing to defeat razing" and "suppressing and appeasing at the same time" can minimize one's own consumption and plunge the enemy into civil strife.

In fact, this method was not only used by the Ming Dynasty, but also by the great unified dynasties of the Central Plains in the face of the northern nomads.

For example, the Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty were divided into two factions, the north and the south, and the Han united with the southern Xiongnu to carry out conquest wars, and finally the Xiongnu perished.

The same was true of the Turkic forces of the Sui and Tang dynasties, which were divided into eastern and western factions. The Sui and Tang dynasties continued to divide and attack, and in the Tang Gaozong period, the Eastern and Western Turks were wiped out, and the Wu Zetian period was destroyed again after a short period of recovery.

Since then, the word Turkic has also become history in the grasslands of northern China.

The most basic operation of "using razing to control razing" is to suppress the strong and help the weak, and unite with the weak forces to constantly attack the strong forces.

Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is worthy of being an unprecedented "military genius", he just did the opposite!

In the third year of orthodoxy, his father also attacked the Tatar tribe first, and the emperor of the Central Plains would normally choose to rush to the aid of the Tatars to suppress the powerful Tile Thorn tribe.

As a result, Zhu Qizhen sent troops to attack Adai Khan and Duoer Zhibo of the Tatar Department, helping Tuhuan and his father and son in disguise to remove the biggest obstacle to the unification of Mongolia.

In the ninth year of orthodoxy, Zhu Yong, the prince of Chengguo, went out to attack the Wuliangha Sanwei, and crippled the last divided Mongol tribe. For Ye Xian, it is simply a good thing that the sky has dropped pie, and this is not orthodox for ten years, so he is eyeing Wuliangha and is ready to come over to pick up the leak.

No wonder Zhu Qizhen can call himself a brother after the "Northern Hunt", your series of operations are like a ghost, don't you thank yourself for being worthy of your conscience?

Of course, the current Zhu Qizhen will never think that this is a blind operation.

On the contrary, after he succeeded to the throne, he made three northern expeditions to Mongolia and achieved great military achievements. Two of the three major Mongol forces were abolished by themselves, and as long as they set out on another expedition in the future, they would be able to destroy the Tile Thorn Division first.

At that time, the exploits of the four saints of the ancestors will not be as good as destroying the great trouble in the north by themselves!

Therefore, Shen Yichen's words were also strengthened, and to a certain extent, he denied Zhu Qizhen's Northern Expedition exploits, which made him not want to talk about it anymore.

"Shen Qing's family is worried about the country and the people, and I am very relieved. But to say that the Tile Spur Department is as strong as the Northern Yuan is a bit alarmist. ”

"This matter has come to an end for the time being, and I have issued an edict to order the Tile Spur Departments to repair it."

Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen always believed that the current actions of the tile spur against the Hami Kingdom were just a small fight.

As long as you give an edict yourself, let this group of people stop for a while.

Hearing that the emperor has already set the tone, what else do the ministers have to say?

What's more, for small border tribes, the courtiers who have nothing to do with themselves and have a high mentality are the mainstream people of the Ming Dynasty. Even Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, who advocated the use of force, did not regard him as an opponent on a par with the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

So the courtiers were left to shout: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

After the recital was read, Zhu Qizhen retreated to the imperial palace, and the ministers should have dispersed and returned to their respective homes. It's just that many officials snorted coldly to express their dissatisfaction when they passed by Shen Yichen's side.

Shen Yichen is the champion of the civil minister, but he does not stand on the side of the civil official group, but likes martial arts, and is suspected of being reckless.

And this kid relies on the emperor's favor, too flamboyant and likes to be in the limelight. Above the court meeting, you can watch the government, it is already considered unworthy, and you dare to talk nonsense about the government?

Regarding the actions of these civil and military officials, Shen Yichen just smiled and didn't care, and soon Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, also retreated and came to his side.

"On the way to the court, I warned you to be cautious in your words and deeds, why don't you listen?"

Zhu Yong's tone contained a wave of anger, which was not easy for his violent temper, and he had already been reprimanded before.

"It is easy to protect one's self, stand up and make it difficult, and someone must stand up for major events of the family and country."

"Do you think you can dominate the affairs of your family and state?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Yichen smiled and said: "The husband is ambitious, the village husband is filial piety, I am a literati, and I should be arrogant." ”

"You ......"

Seeing that Shen Yichen began to be stubborn again, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, wanted to reprimand, but he didn't know how to say it.

Because in his heart, he understood that Shen Yichen was not wrong, how could he blame him?

"Alas, offending the ministers is a small matter, but losing the grace of the saint is a big thing. The Tile Thorn Department also came first, and we will talk about it later! ”

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, can be said to have watched Zhu Qizhen grow up, and he also has an understanding of the emperor's character. Obviously, the court meeting just now came to an end, and Shen Yichen's words were not very satisfied.

Enrong doesn't have enough background to come and go quickly. Especially for Zhu Qizhen's age, this is in the rebellious stage, and it is easy to change his views and even disgust.

You can do anything when you are an official in the court, but you can't offend the emperor!

"Grandpa, I understand."

Shen Yichen was very obedient, he actually felt the change in Zhu Qizhen's mentality, and he was unwilling to admit that he had made a mistake in strategy.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and before he loses his power, there is no mistake, and it is not the turn of the courtiers to foreshadow!

At this moment, Wang Zhen came to his side at some point and said, "Champion Yuangong, Your Majesty has gone to the Huagai Palace, don't be late." ”

Before Shen Yichen could speak, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, took the lead and said: "The dog is young and doesn't understand the rules, and I hope that the prince will take care of it more." ”

During this period of time, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, has always been the majestic Duke of the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of Shen Yichen. Now he bent down and asked Wang Zhen to take care of him.

This situation made Shen Yichen have mixed feelings, and he didn't know how to describe it for a while.

"Chengguo Gong is polite, and our family is also very optimistic, and we will take good care of it."

"Then thank you to the princess."

"Xiaguan thanked the internal minister!"

The term "internal minister" began in the Tang Dynasty and was first used by Hanlin officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, the authority of the eunuchs in charge of the seal expanded rapidly, and they controlled the "red" power of the chapter, and competed with the "vote" power controlled by the cabinet.

Even eunuchs such as Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, etc., can also suppress the head of the cabinet, and they are known as "the power over the Yuanfu", so the name of the internal minister is used on them.

It's just that Wang Zhen counted the beginning of the eunuch dictatorship in the Ming Dynasty, and the term internal minister has not been widely spread, and there are even fewer people like Shen Yichen who are openly called above the court.

In particular, Shen Yichen is also the leader of the three yuan and the first, and the leader of the six yuan, which is the most famous among the literati. He called Wang Zhen the inner minister like this, which made the other party feel more face-saving, and it was almost in his heart.

"Okay, okay, come with our family."

Wang Zhen smiled on his face, he still positioned himself as a literati in his bones, what is the name of the "prime minister" who can be higher than the peak of the literati?

Not to mention Wang Zhen, even Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was standing in place with a surprised face at the moment. Just now, Shen Yichen swore that literati should be arrogant, but now he is so flattering to eunuchs, and arrogance can come and go?

If Zhu Yong is also from later generations, he will probably have heard a famous saying.

To evaluate a person, we should not look at what he says, but by what he has done.

Before Wang Zhen fell, Shen Yichen knew very well in his heart that the other party wanted to rely on public opinion to forcibly kidnap him in a boat, and he had no way to break free.

Instead of offending Wang Zhen with a straight face and looking for death, it is better to open a little and accept it calmly for the time being and reach a good relationship with the other party.

Although the style of the literati is important, it is also necessary to learn to judge the situation, otherwise the grave grass is estimated to grow vigorously.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong's actions can be regarded as a reminder to Shen Yichen that even the dignified top prince of the Ming Dynasty can bend over and bend his knees, which onion is he currently considered a green onion?

If you can't learn the most basic officialdom, it can only mean that you are not suitable for the path of official career.

Wang Zhen led Shen Yichen all the way to the Huagai Palace, probably because he was very satisfied with the internal picture just now, and he specially instructed two sentences on the way.

"Champion Gong, Your Majesty is in the stage of forging ahead, and the people of the Tile Spur Department should not be afraid at first, so don't mention it later."

"Late Xie Nei Minister admonished."

"The champion is polite, our family treats you as their own."

Wang Zhen looked at Shen Yichen very good, and continued to throw out the intention of solicitation.

"Xie Neixiang is very loving, the champion doesn't dare to be the princess, just call the late student to the north."

"Okay, the word of the imperial gift, then our family will call the champion to the north."

The two walked all the way to talk happily, and the inner eunuchs and palace guards on the road all showed extremely surprised expressions when they saw this scene.

Since Wang Zhen took power alone in the seventh year of orthodoxy, it has rarely been seen that he is so polite and satisfied. Even if he meets the ministers, he won't greet him with such a smile, what is the origin of this young man, who is worthy of such a courtesy from Grandpa Wang?

In the Huagai Palace, Zhu Qizhen was flipping through the thanksgiving table sent by the deacon, but with Shen Yichen's "touching" article in front of him, how do these new science and technology scholars look at the table, how do they feel a little exaggerated, and they have nothing to show for it!

"The talent of the three yuan and the first is really beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Zhu Qizhen sighed, and happened to see Wang Zhen leading Shen Yichen to come to visit, and a smile subconsciously appeared on his face.

"Minister Shen Yichen, knock to see Your Majesty!"

Just when Shen Yichen was about to salute, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Under the court, Aiqing doesn't need to be polite." ”

Beep Pavilion

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Since the emperor said so, Shen Yichen didn't have a hobby of kneeling, so he immediately hit the snake and the stick.

"At today's court meeting, Aiqing has a very good understanding of the situation in northern Xinjiang, and it can be seen that he is well-read."

"It's just rhetoric."

With the reminders of Cheng Guogong and Wang Zhen, coupled with Zhu Qizhen's emotional performance, Shen Yichen understands that many things are indeed not something that he can change at this stage.

Zhu Qizhen made the mistake of being in a hurry, and finally caused the change of Tumubao, and he had to understand that it was too much.

"Does Cheng Guogong also attach great importance to the Tile Spur Department first?"

Zhu Qizhen's second sentence made Shen Yichen feel his sense of smell as an emperor, and directly asked Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, what he thought.

Obviously, in addition to thinking that Shen Yichen is well-read, Zhu Qizhen also thinks that he knows so much about the situation in northern Xinjiang, and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, is behind it.

There are talented people in the world, but there are few people who are self-taught.

How to answer?

Shen Yichen was in a dilemma for a while.

To tell the truth, if you put aside the relationship with Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, then your previous words in the court will be completely ignored by Zhu Qizhen, which is too weightless.

But what kind of consequences will be caused by rashly pulling Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, in, Shen Yichen has no way to predict and control, and the risk is too great.

After hesitating again and again, Shen Yichen still replied safely: "The grandfather has not told the ministers about the northern frontier, and what the court said today is the humble opinion of the ministers." ”

"I see."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and continued: "Shen Yichen, you have never experienced the matter of marching, and you don't know that my Ming soldiers are invincible. ”

"The tile thorn is not the first to jump the beam, and when I am strong in the future, I will destroy it!"

When Zhu Qizhen said this, he burst out with an imperial aura that belonged to the Ninety-Five Supreme.

At the beginning of the palace test, Zhu Qizhen's ambition had already been demonstrated, and he took the previous emperors as an example, and was bound to calm the troubles in northern Xinjiang.

What the dragon flag refers to, all nations surrender!

"The minister must assist His Majesty to achieve the great cause and make the four seas peaceful!"

Under this situation, Shen Yichen had no choice but to obey Zhu Qizhen's words and slowly figure it out in the future.

"Good!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction.

To be honest, at the previous court meeting, he was a little disappointed when he listened to Shen Yichen's words.

After the original palace examination, the only dissatisfaction he was with Shen Yichen's article was that the description was slightly conservative and did not perfectly show his ambition.

Now it seems too cautious, and a tile spur is like a great enemy first, how can he follow his own personal conquest and exterminate in the future?

But now it seems that Shen Yichen is just biased towards the old Cheng's style of seeking the country, and it is not a shortcoming. After entering the office, I understood the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and I would no longer put the Tartars in my eyes.

So then Zhu Qizhen gave a few more words of encouragement, and then he was satisfied and let Shen Yichen leave.

For his efforts to turn into futility, Shen Yichen was not much disappointed. If you say a few words in the court for the first time, you can change Zhu Qizhen's will and thoughts, then there is really a ghost.

Everything I do is nothing more than a man-made mentality.

Leaving the Forbidden City, Shen Yichen did not return home, but went to the Hanlin Academy outside the left gate of Chang'an to report.

Because it was an unfamiliar face, the military service on duty in front of the door also verified Shen Yichen's tooth card official and confirmed that it was correct before letting him enter.

Standing in front of the threshold of the Hanlin Academy, Shen Yichen was a little excited in his heart. The prodigy poem once wrote "Chao is Tian Shelang, and Twilight is in Tianzi Hall", as long as he crosses this threshold, it indicates that he has officially stepped into the ranks of officials, and he is no longer a pure literati in the past.

With this mood, Shen Yichen entered the Hanlin Academy, and at this time, the duty hall was crowded, and there were more than a dozen Hanlin officials on duty.

It's just that when Shen Yichen walked in, these people glanced at him, and they still took care of themselves, not to mention welcoming new colleagues, and they didn't even say hello.

What's the situation?

After all, Shen Yichen is also the first time to enter the Hanlin Academy, and the official training of Honglu Temple will not be detailed enough to tell you how to join.

So he is a little unclear So, could it be that the officials of Hanlin are relatively high and cold, and the atmosphere is like this?

"I've seen all the seniors, and the younger generation Shen Yichen has just arrived, and I hope to have a lot of Haihan."

Shen Yichen's style has always been that there is no shortage of etiquette, and the rules of the Hanlin Academy are that they do not look at the level of official positions in daily life, and those who enter the museum first are called seniors, and those who enter the cabinet are called Zhongtang.

After the service, there was still no response.

Even if Shen Yichen didn't know about the Hanlin Academy so much, he realized that this situation was not normal.

Damn, isn't this the way you are, are you going to give me a newcomer to stand up?
