If it weren't for the white thing, the beginning of the eighteenth year of Hongji should have been very busy.

Gu Zuo, as the new Shaofu Order, should immediately set off for the south, Wang Qiong should leave for Beijing before going to Zhejiang, the Ministry of War should clear up the empty salary, and the Ministry of Rites should hold the imperial examination.

There is nothing that is not a major matter of the country, and the cabinet should be busy.

But in the past few days, the Ming Empire seems to have stopped, and the chief officials of the six departments and Jiuqing are accompanying the emperor and the prince to worship the temple and the Fengxian hall, and then send the god of the Empress Dowager Zhou to the Fengci Palace, except for military affairs, everything else.

If you want to talk about impact, it must be impactful. But the biggest impact was actually the body of Emperor Hongji.

The emperor ignored the severe cold and wind and snow in winter, and insisted on going to Fengxian Hall and Taimiao in person, plus people had no appetite in grief and could not supplement any nutrients, so there was already a sign of running out of oil and drying up the lamp.

What's even more headache is that when Zhu Houzhao was discussing things with the cabinet and the six ministries and nine ministers on this day, news came that the emperor no longer drank the medicine prescribed by the doctors of the Tai Hospital.

Zhu Houzhao was helpless, and the ministers were equally worried. These people have been persuaded more or less in the past few days.

"Da Sima."

Liu Daxia was stunned, the prince rarely called him.

"The minister is here."

"You are my father's favorite minister, and my father is willing to listen to you, and this palace wants you to meet your father."

Liu Daxia naturally has the idea of repaying his kindness, not to mention anything else, he still misses Emperor Hongzhi infinitely in his heart, and at this time the prince can still make such a will, he is both surprised and moved, "The minister will never give up!"

Zhu Houzhao gestured to Liu Jin again, "You go outside the palace and invite Dr. Tan and Dr. Hu from the Medical Palace into the palace. The Medicine Father Emperor of the Tai Hospital is tired of eating, let's see if they have any solutions."

"Your Highness, no!" Liu Ge immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty's dragon body is extremely heavy, and it cannot be neglected at all, how can the doctors outside the palace diagnose and treat Your Majesty?" If there is a half-point mistake, how can we face the ancestors and the ancestors?"

Zhu Hou said in his heart that the imperial doctor in the palace is dangerous.

"Elder Liu Ge doesn't have to worry, although Dr. Tan is a woman, she is a rare famous doctor, which woman inside and outside Beijing doesn't trust her now? Even the elder Ge's own family invited her, right?"

Liu Jian still wanted to insist, "The female scrolls in the inner courtyard of the ministers are all vulgar people, where can they compare to Your Majesty's dragon body?"

"Okay, listen to me about this matter, and deal with it like this. If there is anything, this palace will take care of it."

Tan Yunxian's name is not small among the Beijing teachers now, and everyone originally thought that women practicing medicine were somewhat unscrupulous, but it was really convenient for many high-ranking officials and nobles After the female rolls, these voices were at least inaudible at the upper level.

When something like this happened to the emperor, the crown prince didn't have the heart to continue discussing, so he rubbed his head and said, "Gentlemen, let's get here first today, right?"

This is the filial piety shown by the prince, so the old men will not say anything.

It was Lin Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was so anxious that he clapped his hands after he arrived outside, and he said to Wang Wei: "The period of Enke has not been postponed, there are still so many things, Your Majesty is seriously ill, and His Highness has no intention of political affairs. Who will I decide with this matter of the Ministry of Rites?"

Wang Wei patted his arm, "Hengda, there is a saying among the people that is right, the field must be cultivated, the son must be born, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are blood relatives and father and son, and the deep relationship over the years can be seen both inside and outside, at this time, it is reported that Your Majesty is unwilling to take medicine, Your Highness is that kind of reaction, isn't it the love of the Son of Man?" You, you still want to open more." ….

"Hey." Lin Han didn't understand this, "Your Majesty's generation of benevolent monarchs doesn't want to be sick all the time before they are confused. How forbearant is God? Speaking of which, from the seventeenth year of Hongzhi to today, His Majesty has been on the sickbed for a few months, right?"

Wang Wei frowned and nodded, "It's been half a year."

It's been half a year, don't say you're a sick person. Just a young and strong guy, lying down for half a year can easily not move, you see if his body bones are not as good as before after half a year.

Lin Han glanced at the vast and magnificent Fengtian Hall that fell behind him, and some words were only in his eyes, not in words.

Because the country is in mourning, even if they don't work, they can't

When Wang Wei swayed to the door of his house, the housekeeper reported to him and said, "Master, today an official surnamed Wang came to the door to deliver the post, and the little one said that you were not there."

As he spoke, he presented the object.

Wang Wei opened it and saw that it was Wang Qiong. In the end, it was the prince's capable reputation that spread, and after the New Year, Wang Qiong didn't dare to delay too long in Henan.

It stands to reason that he is a secretary of the ministry, a prince teacher, and although a political envoy in a place like this is not a petty official, he will disappear if he is gone.

But Wang Qiong is different.

This is the official that the prince took the initiative to mention, and at that time, the Zhejiang political envoy elected who was elected by everyone did not speak, and the prince first remembered Wang Qiong. Just such a little detail shows that Wang Qiong can't be lazy.

"When did you come?" What about others?"

"After noon, the villain told him that the master had to go to the yamen during the day, and he had already invited him to come over later tomorrow."

"Yes. Okay." Wang Wei was relieved.

Wang Qiong served in Henan, and probably didn't know about the farce caused by Lu Shumao at the end of last year.

Fortunately, on the second day, Wang Qiong did not pounce on the air again, he was a person who climbed up step by step from the bottom, and he came to everything from the three religions and nine streams, and to some extent there was some path dependence, so he still carried tea at the door of Wang Wei, and I believe that many people are not to blame.

The reason why he went to Wang Wei's mansion was because although the prince mentioned Wang Qiong himself that day, he also said in passing, it was Wang Wei who had told him before, and the ministers in the court had a lot to talk about it. When it reached Wang Qiong's own ears, then he would have to repay the favor.

Moreover, with Wang Wei's current status and weight, it is enough for him to be a local official to hug his thighs.

Wang Wei didn't know Wang Qiong before, only heard that he was quite capable in governing Caohe, but when he saw him carrying a 'gift' to the door, he couldn't help but look down on one in his heart, and only tried to maintain his superficial respect.

"Dehua (Wang Qiongzi) doesn't have to be polite, let's sit down first. During the mourning period, there is no good wine or tea, and it will be served first."

Wang Qiong's posture was extremely low, and he hurriedly said, "How dare you."

Wang Wei didn't speak again, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Wang Qiong is also a person who is very good at observing words and feelings, so he took the initiative to say without reminding: "The lower official went to the mansion this time, firstly, to thank the old heavenly official in person for the recommendation of the East Palace."

As he spoke, he was about to get up again.

Wang Wei stopped, "Your Highness has tacitly decided in your heart that you go to Zhejiang. The old man didn't help much."

"Xia Guan is a low-ranking junior official, if it wasn't for the old heavenly official to mention it, how would His Highness remember the name of Xia Guan? This great grace is remembered in the hearts of the lower officials, and in the future, the heavenly officials will have some pointers, and the lower officials will do everything." ….

It's what it's like to stand in line and worship him.

Wang Weixin said that this guy really has some gangsterism, what are your people, my people, these habits are estimated to have been cultivated for many years.

With a slight sigh, he asked first, "What is the second point of your access?"

Wang Qiong was not shy, and said directly: "Second, I want to ask the old heavenly official for guidance. The matter in Zhejiang has reached such an extent, how could His Royal Highness choose a subordinate official to go to Zhejiang? In addition, His Royal Highness wants to go to the palace to play, and the officials are presumptuous and want to ask the heavenly officials to solve their doubts."

"You don't have to be nervous first, this is the habit of His Highness to appoint and dismiss local officials, and you don't go to say, mainly to listen. Your Highness's handling of affairs mainly has one joy and one dislike, grasp these two points, and you will be able to stabilize in Zhejiang."

Wang Qiong hurriedly pricked up his ears, this is the summary of Wang Wei, who has followed the prince for many years.

"This joy is the joy of a capable official. This can answer why it is you, because of your meritorious work in governing the Cao River, you have left such an impression on His Highness. As for how to explain the affairs of Zhejiang, His Royal Highness will explain to you, the old man is just a secretary of the ministry, and he will never dare to override His Highness. This evil is to be an official of the imperial court but mislead the country and the people, how to call the wrong country, how to call the wrong people, you must understand, I don't need to say more. It is enough for ordinary people to remember these two points. But you ......."

"Please speak up."

"There's nothing outspoken or unspoken. It's just that you just said something wrong. It's not that the old man has a point, you do everything

From, you should be the official of the Ming Dynasty, not the official of the old man."

Wang Qiong broke out in a cold sweat and nodded again and again, "Xia Guan knows that he is wrong."

These reminders can also be regarded as a good cause planted by Wang Wei, he feels that Wang Qiong has the opportunity to become bigger, and hopes to bear a good fruit in the future.

Wang Qiong's later official was indeed very big, many people know that Wang Shouren was promoted all the way to the office, the so-called court has someone who is good to be an official, Wang Shouren's 'courtier's person in the court, is Wang Qiong.

Wang Qiong, the elephant of King Ning's rebellion, was aware of it first, so he specially arranged Wang Shouren to go over, and trusted him very much, allowing him to act cheaply.

It's a pity that now Wang Qiong is still a 'petty official' who has to bow his head everywhere in Beijing.

……

……

In the northwest.

The news of the death of the Empress Dowager came much slower, but at the end of the month, Yang Yiqing also received the news, which made his heart gloomy.

「…… Your Majesty is filial to the Empress Dowager, and now that the Empress Dowager has passed away, Your Majesty still doesn't know what to do?" Yang Yiqing's eyes fell on the sand table placed in the middle of the hall, and he said faintly: "Xu Jin has brought the good news that His Royal Highness is going to use troops, this is a great time for the situation in the northwest, and I don't want to encounter such a reverse thing in the new year."

White things like this, back and forth, in case the emperor has something more, it will be gone in half a year. Half a year later, do you know if the prince still remembers this?

Yang Yiqing has been a subordinate for so many years, and he has to do things in one go, while the people above are concerned, he has to do it in one go, no matter what, the night is always dreamy.

His subordinate, Cao Xiong, who was the chief soldier of Ningxia, was also there, so he asked, "Ministry, then we can't get this "Fu Set Shu" yet?"

Repeating, that is, recovering the loop.

This is one thing that Yang Yiqing has been vigorously promoting since the general system of the northwest tripartite. But I didn't dare to say it upwards, and the military department didn't agree to it first. Although it is possible for the prince to agree, as an official, you can't directly oppose your boss to lick your boss's boss. ….

That is, Xu Jin came over and persuaded blindly and gave Yang Yiqing, the prince, the information that he wanted to use soldiers, and he began to have such thoughts again.

The Hetao area is the Yellow River's several, the top part of the glyph protruding, the Yellow River is harmful, only rich one, these eight words are enough to explain the abundance of aquatic plants in the Hetao area.

One of the reasons why it was difficult to stop the Tatar raiding of the border for many years was that the Mongols had the Hetao area as a nest. Yang Yiqing believed that in order to alleviate the border troubles in the northwest to a greater extent, it is necessary to take back the Hetao area.

In this way, Guanzhong and the Central Plains will no longer be threatened, the Hetao area will still be able to farm millions of acres, and the interior will no longer have to send grain from truck to cart, and more and more sophisticated war horses will be raised.

Now stationed in the Muhetao area is the Mongol Goljin tribe of Huosi, who is the son-in-law of Mandulu Khan, of course, now that Mandulu Khan is dead, it is his son Dayan Khan who is in power, and the relationship between the two is also very close. The fire sieve also played a decisive role in Dayan Khan's great cause of unifying southern Mongolia.

Like in the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, the two tribes will also act together.

According to Yang Yiqing's estimate, if he wants to set foot in the Hetao area and fight a battle with the Fire Sieve Department, he must at least give him an elite cavalry like Yang Shangyi and train another 100,000 soldiers, so that it is possible to go out together.

This price is very high, so Yang Yiqing also began to hesitate, at this time, the suitability of "Fu Su" is not suitable.

The wrinkles on his face are very deep, and there is some intermittent white on his head, "The old man is not afraid of being reprimanded by the prince, and he is not afraid of the pen that rolls in the court, the old man is worried that once he makes a fuss for someone who cares, saying that we are doing this between the great mournings, and finally His Royal Highness can't agree to the "Fu Shu Shu" in the face of righteousness, this is the loss of the Ming Dynasty."

When Qi Chengsui heard this, he said softly: "Then just wait a little longer, and don't be in a hurry for these few months."

"I can only wait a little longer......" Yang Yiqing threw the pen away, very reluctantly.

The chief soldier Cao Xiong snorted even more annoyed, very unhappy in his heart, there was no way, he encountered a special time.

But before they could disperse, a soldier came in and said:

There is a brocade guard in the capital.

Yang Yiqing and Qi Chengsui glanced at each other, "Jinyiwei must be here for the sake of the best. See!"

The person who came was Mao Yuyu, and the prince ordered him to go to Guyuan and Datong that day, but he only said to go, and did not say which one would go first, it was up to him. In fact, it is also simple, Guyuan is the governor of the three sides, and Datong is nothing more than a Datong commander-in-chief, of course, Guyuan, so he rushed all the way to Guyuan.

The politeness and false courtesy of both sides, needless to mention, no one will be short.

Mao's language culture is not high, and he can't drag the text, so he directly said the meaning, in fact, it also made Yang, Qi, and Cao confirm Xu Jin's words before, so he was encouraged after listening to it.

"In this way, we can't stop this complex discussion." Qi Chengsui said with a smile.

"Your Highness is really a lord for a while!"

Yang Yiqing was indescribably moody, much more determined, and arched his hand to Chong Mao: "If there is a bad day, we who guard the border will have more confidence in our hearts, and please also ask the upper messenger to reply on behalf of Yang, as long as Yang is in the northwest, he Tatars will not be able to enter!"

"Your Highness...... Not really." Mao Wenwen was not afraid of hurting his face, "His Royal Highness said that Yang Butang should be extremely careful, because Yang Butang has just taken office, he is not familiar with Yang Butang, and the Tatars are the character of not shedding tears when they don't see the coffin, His Highness thinks that the Tatars are very likely to pick you, the new official, to try the depth."

This is already obvious, the crown prince is now here, and he is worried about him, the governor of the three northwestern sides, and the credit is magnified if he wins, and the sin is magnified if he loses.

Yang Yiqing raised his eyebrows, not afraid of this pressure at all, "Yang has been an official for so many years, but he has never been an official at this breakthrough, so it's better to call them."
