Chapter 425: The Turning Point of the Ming Dynasty
Time goes back half an hour ago.
On the Dazhong Bridge next to the Dongshuiguan Wharf, suddenly there were several officials wearing court clothes, wearing Liang Guan, and wearing ribbons, holding wat boards and concertos, and under the attention of the people of those good deeds, they calmly walked from the direction of Zhongcheng to the Dazhong Bridge, and went to the yamen of various departments and departments in Dongcheng.
The court clothes and crowns worn by officials today are only used during national ceremonies, celebrations, New Year's Day, winter solstice, holy festivals, edicts, readings, tables, and transmissions.
And as the first batch of officials crossed the Dazhong Bridge and headed towards the east city, more and more officials with different colors and accessories gathered at the bridgehead from all over the city and followed the people in front of them across the Dazhong Bridge.
Then, these officials did not take West Chang'an Avenue into the imperial city, but followed Chongli Street all the way to Zhengyangmen.
In addition to the Imperial Palace, Yingtian City is full of people.
The people who had good deeds came to the end of the year and arrived near the Zhengyang Gate of Chongli Street.
In the end, it was finally discovered that those solemnly dressed court officials were kneeling in front of the Hongwu Gate with wat boards in their hands and concertos.
Another time to kneel in the palace?
The onlookers whispered, but the people looked at the officials holding the medallion and thought that perhaps the officials had come to Hongwu Gate to present the recital to His Majesty the Emperor.
A person wearing a five-beam crown, a gold belt around the waist and wearing jade, yellow, green, red, purple woven into a cloud crane flower brocade ribbon, a green wire mesh under the knot, accompanied by a pair of gold ribbon rings, is a three-grade Beijing official, holding a wat board and kneeling at the front of Hongwu Gate.
"The minister has received the grace of His Majesty, served as an official for more than ten years, and has been honored and raised. However, the ministers are dull and incompetent, the doves occupy the magpie's nest, and they have done nothing for more than ten years, they have done nothing in the country, they have nothing to appease the people in the world, and they have not reported on the grace of His Majesty. The minister has the courage to play today, begging for bones, please ask Your Majesty for permission. ”
The Jingguan of Zhengsanpin shouted the remarks of begging bones in front of the Hongwu Gate. In an instant, the people watching on the entire Chongli Street were in an uproar.
Looking at the whole world, the officials who can go all the way to the third-grade position can be regarded as the best among people. If you go further, it is naturally a few ministry members, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you will enter the phase.
But today, such a big man said that he wanted to beg for bones in such a breezy manner.
On Chongli Street, the people were hotly discussed.
"The Liang crown that the man is wearing is five beams? This is something that can only be used by the three masters! ”
"Sanpin, if Your Majesty can reward me with a petty official from the ninth grade, I think it's the ancestral tomb that is smoking."
"You say, are these people also here to beg for bones?"
"Not really......"
"Why not? I think it's definitely all of them. ”
There was an exclamation from the crowd.
There are even good deeds, and they have begun to nod their heads, and how many officials in front of Hongwu Gate are wearing court clothes and Liang Guan coming today.
"If this is true, we will be in the Heavenly City for a long time, and I am afraid that we will not be able to see a few officials."
"Look, isn't that the prefect of Ying Tianfu?"
"And there are those over there, aren't those two the magistrates of Shangyuan County and Jiangning County."
"What is going on here, so many people don't want to be officials?"
"Even if they do something wrong, I'm afraid these people don't want to lose their hats. Could it be ......?"
"You'd better not be embarrassed."
"But if it weren't for His Majesty's persecution, what else could you say about this meeting?"
“……”
After experiencing the initial shock and surprise, the people watching on Chongli Street have already thought of countless possibilities.
And because the hundred officials once again made a fuss about the matter before kneeling at the palace gate, the officers and soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division, who had been asking late, finally surrounded the front of the Hongwu Gate under a reprimand.
In front of Hongwu Gate.
With the first man opening his mouth begging for bones.
It's like a spark, setting everyone on fire.
"Your Majesty, beggar bones, please ask Your Majesty for permission."
The officials shouted in unison three times as if they had rehearsed beforehand.
It was the towering Hongwu Gate Tower, the first gate of the Imperial City, as if it was trembling in the sound of hundreds of officials.
In the thousand-step corridor behind the Hongwu Gate, a dense footstep drove the ironclad array, and countless imperial city forbidden troops poured out from the city gates on both sides under the leadership of the small flag officials, chief flag officials, and hundred household officials, and were listed under the Hongwu Gate.
When the time came here, the officials who were still on errands in the six departments and the five armies on the east and west sides of Hongwu Gate and the yamen of various ministries and departments had already gotten the news and walked out of the yamen one after another, and came to Hongwu Gate to watch this good show of beggar bones.
It is located on the east side of Hongwu Gate, in the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials next to the northernmost Zongren Mansion.
The little official rushed in from outside the yamen in a panic and went all the way to the Shangshu Court.
Since fainting in front of the noon gate once, Zhai Shan, a young official who can be called a young official among the official group, has a very bad face recently, looking sick, and giving people the appearance that he may fall down at any time.
At this time, Zhai Shan was looking through the list of Guanzheng Jinshi in the court, as well as the list of officials who had not participated in the matter of kneeling in the palace at the noon gate.
The imperial court can't really be stopped, thousands of things will happen every day in the fourteen realms of the world, and all things will be gathered together, and they will finally be sent to Yingtian City.
Officials can recall, but the people of the world still have to have a livelihood.
Since the former Tang Dynasty established the system of three provinces and six ministries, the Ministry of Officials is the largest yamen in the world. The big yamen, the greater the responsibility.
Officials govern the world, and the officials govern the officials of the world.
The imperial court has been in short supply for many years, and recently there was such a thing in front of the noon gate, and Zhai Shan knew that many of them were probably already on His Majesty's list.
For the Son of Heaven to govern the world's hundred officials, everything needs to be thought about in advance.
Zhai Shan, who had fallen in front of the noon gate, has become more and more old and haggard in the past few days because of these things.
The little official walked all the way into the public hall and arrived in front of Zhai Shan.
Before Zhai Shan raised his head, the little official was already swallowing his saliva and said urgently: "Ministry...... Ministries, those officials...... Officials, they knelt quietly in front of the Hongwu Gate again. ”
Zhai Shan, who was picking up the pen and sorting out the list of officials, couldn't help shaking his palm after hearing the words, and the belly of the pen pressed against the paper, fainting a large black ink stain.
"What are they going to do!"
Zhai Shan's voice was hoarse and low, and his eyes were full of anger in just a moment.
The little official shrank his head, bowed his head and said, "They...... Ministry ......"
Peng!
Zhai Shan's palm slapped heavily on the table, and he said angrily: "Fragmented, make your words clear!" ”
The little official trembled, shook his hands and robes heavily, knelt on the ground, and said in horror: "Ministry, they are begging for bones!" Hundreds of officials wore court clothes and crowns, held wat boards and chapters, and knelt in front of the Hongwu Gate to beg for bones from His Majesty! ”
After finishing speaking, the little official buried his head deeply, and his body hidden under his robe trembled slightly.
In the public court, there was silence.
Several scribes sitting in the corner had already put down the ink pens in their hands, held their hands, and sat in the corner silently with their heads bowed.
On the official stage, Zhai Shan let out a few heavy gasps, and the angry atmosphere filled the entire public hall.
However, the people in the court did not wait for the anger and roar of the elder.
Under a heavy clang, Zhai Shan, who was sitting upright in the chair, opened his arms and rolled his eyes with his mouth open. The chair seemed to have broken a leg, and the whole chair fell to the ground with Zhai Shanren.
"Ministry!"
A scribe stood up and exclaimed.
Suddenly, everyone stepped forward one after another.
However, Zhai Shan just closed his eyes tightly, fell to the ground without a trace of blood on his face, and fainted again.
"Quick! I went to the Tai Hospital and invited the water hospital to come over! ”
The scribe roared, and the little official who came to the court to report trembled, got up from the ground in a panic, and rushed out of the court.
The Imperial Ministry of Officials fainted for the second time in just a few days, and the only remaining officials in the entire Ministry of Officials and Yamen were completely panicked.
And in the yamen of the household department separated by a wall, Yu Xinzheng, the secretary of the household department, and Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, sat opposite each other, and there was no one around, only a pot of tea in the middle.
"They began to kneel quietly outside the Hongwu Gate and beg for bones."
It was Wang Jun of the Ministry of Industry who spoke.
Wang Jun came to the household department from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry happened to be east of Hongwumen.
Yu Xin picked up the teapot, added a cup of tea for Wang Jun, and said: "Zhai Shan is probably going to be angry again, and his mouth is full of bubbles." ”
Wang Jun drank the tea and chuckled: "The one from the Ministry of Rites, I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything this time." ”
Yu Xin echoed and smiled, lowered his head and shook it, blowing the tea cup in his hand, but he didn't drink it, but said emptyly: "Your Majesty is watching the direction of the wind, the prince is sitting firmly in the East Palace, where is the grandson today?" ”
"Watch the rugby game over there in the lecture hall."
"Oh? Which two teams are playing today? Yu Xin's face couldn't help but show curiosity, and he seemed to be very interested in today's game.
Wang Jun snorted and said: "The people of the Shangzhi pro-military guard and the rear army are fighting the governor's mansion. ”
At this moment, a household official also came outside the house with footsteps and knocked on the door frame.
When Yu Xin gave his word, the little official entered.
"Ministry, today the Wutang Martial Arts Guard, the Houjun Governor's Mansion Wusheng Rugby Match has come out."
Yu Xin finally brought the tea cup in his hand to his mouth.
Wang Jun was suspicious, looked at Yu Xin with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at the little official again, and said, "What is the result?" ”
The little official bowed his head and said: "Back to the Wangbu Hall, today it is the military guard of Shangzhi who won." ”
Yu Xin, who was still drinking tea with a smile on his face, suddenly closed the smile on his face.
Wang Jun was also stunned for a moment: "If I remember correctly, the military guard of Shangzhi has fought against the Houjun Governor's Mansion in the past two years, and he has never won a victory." ”
Yu Xin stopped for a while before he nodded.
Then he got up, and he looked at Wang Jun with a puzzled face: "Go to Hongwumen to have a look." ”
Yu Xin had already gotten up at this time and walked outside.
It's just that there is a burst of chanting on his lips: "How can it be that the Shangzhi pro-military guard won?" How did you win? ”
……
"How did you win?"
Outside the lecture hall, on the rugby field, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, who won the battle, chattered again and again.
On the side, Hui Xian Bo Sangjing, who pressed the victory of the direct pro-army Weisheng, was full of smiles.
And he, as the person who single-handedly created today's gamble, has been targeted by the meritorious generals who suppressed the military capital governor's mansion at this moment.
Zhu Shou was numb at this time, and he stayed in the martial arts hall for three months to give lectures to the martial artists, which was his life.
"Have you eaten anything recently, and you can win the Houjun Governor's Mansion."
At this time, Zhu Shou had already premonition of the next three months of crazy time, and his mouth was chattering.
Chang Sen coughed lightly and looked back at Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi chuckled and said: "Lone Ke told you that this rugby game was organized by Lone Single-handedly. ”
As he said this, Zhu Yunxi turned his head faintly and glanced at Wang Xinling, the governor of the Tongzheng Envoy Division, who was still waiting for him to speak to the beggar bones of the hundred officials who were kneeling in the Hongwu Gate.
Wang Xinling was really anxious at this time.
On the Hongwu Gate side, it can be said that the bones of the Manchu civil officials are begging, and this imperial grandson is still talking about the ball game with the meritorious generals.
And when Zhu Yunxi mentioned this sentence again, the people present, whether it was the military capital of the Houhou Governor's Mansion or the military guards who were directly pro-military guards, all moved their eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi who was standing on a high place with hesitation, and a trace of hindsight flashed in everyone's hearts.
No, today's ball is the result set by the emperor's grandson.
Zhu Shou coughed lightly.
Zhu Yunxi waved his robe, his face was solemn in an instant, and his eyes were deep: "You are all lonely uncles, and they are meritorious deeds for the Ming Dynasty." Since your uncles have also said today that they will live up to my family, then Gu will speak freely. ”
All the points were concentrated until the last moment.
If everyone can't react at this time, they don't deserve to stand here.
Led by Chang Sen, everyone clasped their fists and landed on one knee.
"Wait for the order."
Zhu Yunxi's breathing couldn't help but get worse.
He knew very well that when he said the next words and listened to the meritorious generals of the Ming Dynasty, it also showed that the Ming Dynasty had finally reached a real turning point under his own promotion.
History was truly changed by him.
The young governor wants to escape from here, as Bai Yuxiu's successor, walking in the yamen of the general political envoy, Wang Xinling is also outstanding among the entire Xinshu students today.
The crown prince has to make a decision on the policy of the whole country.
Wang Xinling was afraid that he, as the first civil official of the Manchu Dynasty to hear the news, would be frightened by the words that had not yet been spoken.
However, the young governor had no chance of escaping.
Zhu Yunxi also said in a deep voice: "In the twenty-eight years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, three years later, the country has newly conquered and opened up two places, and the army of Zhenwei has imported millions of residences every year.
The founding generals of the People's Republic of China fought abroad, and the soldiers of the nine sides marched north to plough the court, and the country became stronger and stronger, all of which were stronger than the outside, rich and internal. This merit was created by the meritorious people of the country.
The Ming Dynasty will have 10,000 years, it will have a foundation for 10,000 years, and it will still be the most powerful country in the world after 10,000 years. Thinking about it alone, it is inseparable from your uncles and my descendants who are fighting for the country and fighting bloody battles with the enemy. ”
Zhu Yunxi said very movingly.
It is also the first time to publicly affirm the merits of the meritorious generals of the Ming Dynasty.
"It is a blessing for a minister to be able to serve the country."
Zhu Yunxi raised his voice and said, "I want to return to the former Qin Army's meritorious law." ”
