Sending important ministers to guard Yunnan is actually a matter of great importance.

Since the founding of the country, the Ming Dynasty has been operating Yunnan very carefully. There is even an extremely rare town in Yunnan.

In modern times, the price paid by the Ming Dynasty for Yunnan is even more unimaginable.

Three expeditions to Luchuan, each time the troops were more than 100,000.

The last time, the largest use of troops, indirectly led to the change of Tumu Fort.

If there is no third expedition to Luchuan, Beijing Jingying will have tens of thousands of elites in hundreds of battles, so Warat may not be able to win a complete victory in Shanxi.

Even Zhu Qizhen may not be able to recruit in person, so it is enough to let Wang Ji lead the army.

In this way, the entire historical trend will be very different from the present.

The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more speechless he became, so he asked everyone: "Who do you say should guard Yunnan?" ”

The ministers had already discussed it before they came, and He Wenyuan, the secretary of the ministry, replied: "Yunnan has just passed through the rebellion of Luchuan, and the situation is unstable, so it is necessary to send important ministers to guard it.

The ministers thought that they should send two important ministers, one civil and one military, to Yunnan.

Ning Yuanbo was appointed to the ceremony, from Taizong's military difficulties, experienced in a hundred battles, proficient in military affairs, old and serious, abiding by the law, and the ministers thought that he could be appointed as the chief military officer of Yunnan. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, Ren Li is indeed a good candidate, not only has no talent and experience, but what is even more rare is that he always abides by the law, unlike other nobles who are greedy and tyrannical.

Since he wants to guard Yunnan on behalf of Mu Cong for more than ten years, he must choose a person with good conduct, and he can't leave a mess for Mu Cong.

Zhu Qiyu was more curious about which minister the ministers wanted to send to Yunnan. Anyway, Zhu Qiyu himself couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

It is no wonder that the selection of ministers by the imperial court is carried out by the court. If you really let the emperor choose at will, then the emperor himself will be very difficult.

He Wenyuan saw that the emperor had no opinion, so he continued: "The ministers think that Yu Qian, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, is the most suitable candidate for the Wenchen to guard Yunnan. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Qiyu was drinking tea, but when he suddenly heard this, he choked and coughed on the coffee table.

These ministers are too good at playing, and they can't figure it out.

Yu Qian, as the right attendant of the military department, served as the governor of Shanxi for 19 years. Now you have to let him go to Yunnan as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department. That's too bullying, isn't it?

The ministers didn't expect the emperor's reaction to be so big, He Wenyuan had to lower his eyebrows and continue to explain: "Your Majesty wants to use troops against Jiaozhi, and to attack Jiaozhi, there are two directions for sending troops.

One was from Guangxi, and the other was from Yunnan. The two-way flanking attack is a strategy that the imperial court has always adopted during the previous expedition to Jiaozhi.

Before suppressing the southeast civil uprising, the imperial court sent out the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Crime.

It is not an exaggeration to regain such a major military operation as Jiaozhi and send a Shangshu to take charge. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, this seems to make sense. To quell the southeast civil uprising, the imperial court sent Shi Pu and Jin Lian two scholars. This time to recover Jiaozhi, it is reasonable to send the military department Shangshu over first.

The most important thing is that Nanjing is indeed not suitable for placing too many cronies of the emperor, and it is time to send some to the local authorities.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu came to a conclusion: "Ning Yuanbo Renli is the chief military officer of Yunnan, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou military affairs.

Xiang Wenyao, the left attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, was the governor of Yunnan; Wu'an Hou Zhenghong, the left deputy chief soldier of Yunnan; Yangwu Hou Xue Xu, the right deputy general of Yunnan.

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yi is the chief military officer of Guangxi; Xue Huan, the commander of the horses, served as the deputy chief officer of the left in Guangxi; Taining Hou Chen Jing served as the right deputy chief military officer of Guangxi. ”

When the ministers heard this, they were equally taken aback. It turned out that the emperor was more radical than the ministers, and the nobles who had been sent to Nanjing before were transferred to Yunnan and Guangxi.

In this way, Yu Qian, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, plus Wang Ao, the secretary of Nanjing, who had already sent the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, will be responsible for the conquest of Jiaozhi in the future.

If these people can take the cochin smoothly, that's good.

If you can't take Jiaozhi and lose the battle, you will send another group of civil and military generals over.

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "Then let Xu Qi, the squire of the Nanjing Military Department, be promoted to Shangshu and be in charge of the reform of the Nanjing Beijing camp. In addition, Xu Chengzong, the Duke of Wei, garrisoned Nanjing, and held the military capital governor's mansion in his hands, what do you think of Aiqing? ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Xu Qi and Xu Chengzong belong to neutral ministers, and they have no obvious involvement with the emperor and the emperor.

Beijing has become a pot of porridge, so let Nanjing live quietly.

The matter of the south side is now over, and the next step is this meeting.

To Zhu Qiyu's surprise, this time the ministers took the initiative to save face. Everyone unanimously recommended Huang Pu and He Yi as the examiners of the Ministry of Rites.

This proposal made Zhu Qiyu lose his confidence, and asked Chen Xun weakly: "Is this really okay?" ”

Chen Xun smiled: "You can test the examiner, no problem." ”

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask Chen Xun curiously.

Chen Xun had to explain: "In the first year of orthodoxy, the examiners were Wang Zhi, a young Zhan Shi and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Chen Xun, a bachelor of the Academy.

Therefore, as long as you are a bachelor's degree, you are qualified to serve as an examiner.

Huang Pu is a scholar of Zuo Chunfang University, and He Yi is a scholar of Zuo Chunfang University, and letting the two of them serve as examiners is also to show the candidates His Majesty's determination to act meritocracy, regardless of their background, regardless of their qualifications. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded again and acquiesced.

But nothing good is in vain.

With this benefit, I will definitely have to pay something.

Politics is a constant exchange of interests.

Chen Xun and the others also felt that the emperor in front of them felt very sorry for their cronies, and once they had the opportunity, they would try their best to pave the way for their cronies.

Zhu Qiyu first won the chief examiner of the palace examination for Wang Wen, and now he has recognized the examiner for Huang Pu and He Yi.

After being mentally prepared to pay a huge price, Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Xun and waited for Chen Xun to make conditions.

Then Chen Xun didn't respond, but talked about the drive. This time, Huang Pu and He Yi presided over the examination, and Wang Wen and He Wenyuan presided over the palace examination.

And Chen Xun and Zhou Chen were responsible for going to Datong to greet the emperor, and then accompanied Zhu Qizhen into Beijing together.

The process has been largely decided, and what Zhu Qizhen has to pay is to make an edict to go to the Taishang Zun, and the rest is all preferential conditions.

Chen Xun's words were gentle, going around without a trace, Zhu Qiyu listened carefully for a long time, and when he had a headache when he heard it, he finally learned the true intention that Chen Xun wanted to express.

Zhu Qiyu finally figured out that the cabinet ministers represented by Chen Xun gave up such a big benefit, that is, they hoped that they would not attack the emperor, but should be respectful and courteous, at least on the surface, brothers, friends and brothers, humble and harmonious.

And in private, at least no personal harm can be carried out, and the Emperor Tai's family must live in peace.

To be honest, it's a bit tricky.

And the first Jingtai Dynasty meeting examination and palace examination are of great significance to Zhu Qiyu. For Huang Pu and He Yi, once they become examiners, theoretically speaking, they are also one of the teachers of all the Jinshi in this year, which is definitely a big help for their future careers.

And being an examiner is not a technical job, and it is actually okay to choose whoever is the examiner. The chief examiner of the palace examination must be a senior minister, but the examiner who will be examined, as long as it is a bachelor, can barely be justified.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Huang Pu and He Yi, and finally his heart was crossed, but he gritted his teeth and admitted it.
