Seiwa

Snapped!

A volume of manuscripts was slammed onto the ground, and the eunuchs and palace officials in the Nuan Pavilion fell silent.

Bai Yanhui boldly raised his head to take a look, then bowed his head, his forehead was sweating.

The emperor was very angry. Whoever dared to take the lead at this time would definitely seek death.

"Shuru, how dare you bully me like this!"

Emperor Yong Le sat behind the court case, his teeth were grinding and his anger level kept rising, approaching to explode.He can tolerate some of Xie Jin's speculative behavior, but he can't tolerate him not doing things seriously, not working hard!

What he ordered was to compile a classic that could be preserved for future generations, but what did the Hanlin Academy present?

When he is illiterate?How dare you fool him like this? !

Do you think the things on your neck are too heavy and you want to move them?

"Bai Yan comes back."

The emperor called for people to stop pretending to be the background, so Bai Yanhui immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your maidservant is here."

"Call me Xie Jin! Immediately!"

"Yes!"

Bai Yanhui exited the Nuan Pavilion, called two young eunuchs, asked Qing Xie Jin and Huang Huai to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion today, nodded, and immediately led people there.

In the duty room, Xie Dashi and Huang Bianxiu were frowning at the order to be sent to Daning.

Among the seven people in Wenyuan Pavilion, Huang Huai was in charge of the edict, and knew very well the emperor's kindness to Xingning Bo and Ding Guogong.The rewards continued, and a few words of praise were issued every now and then.During this period of time, the turmoil caused by the capital of Daning between the DPRK and China has not subsided, but the amount of money and cloth sent to Daning and Beijing has not decreased, and even has a tendency to increase.

Putting down his pen and looking at the newly drafted edict, Huang Huai and Xie Jin met each other and sighed.

Rewarding Uncle Xingning and Duke Dingguo is not the emperor expressing his attitude to show that he values ​​Hanwang and Zhaowang.

The emperor intended to set up guards for the King of Han and King Zhao, both numbering [-], but King Ping still stayed in the capital and did not allow him to become a vassal.

On the surface, this is the emperor's special treatment of the eldest son, which is a favor.

Anyone with a discerning eye is very clear about the reality.

No vassals, no guards, no fiefs, although they can listen to the government, they have no right to make decisions.

It would be good if King Ping was crowned crown prince, but according to the current intention of the emperor, the day of canonization is far away.Even Xie Jin and others who supported Zhu Gaochi were discouraged by the emperor's repeated reprimands, let alone the wavering officials in the court?

When he was studying at the Imperial Academy, Xie Jin had a long conversation with Huang Huai and others, and the conclusion he reached was not optimistic.However, due to the emperor's order, he could not go out of the Hanlin Academy, so there was no good way after all.

Now that the book has been completed, everyone has returned to the court, trying to find a way to bring the king back to power, which has become the most urgent thing right now.

The king of Han and the king of Han conquered the frontiers of the northern border, and they made great achievements and their reputation grew day by day.The establishment of guards, and the support of generals, have gradually grown in wings. If things go on like this, it will be very detrimental to General Ping.

But past experience made Xie Jin and Huang Huai dare not act rashly.

One mistake, King Ping will completely lose his Sacred Heart.

It is good that King Han and King Zhao are concubines, but the three sons of the Son of Heaven are all descended from Empress Xu. The status of the same concubine symbolizes a lot of competitiveness.There is also the emperor's preference, and the situation is very unfavorable to King Ping.

"Brother Zong Yu, in your opinion, the Son of Heaven..."

In the duty room, Xie Jin and Huang Huai were discussing the content of the edict in low voices, in order to guess the meaning of the emperor.

Outside the room door, Bai Yanhui had already arrived in a hurry, the clerk delivering the meals did not know Bai Yanhui, seeing him wearing a shirt with a collar and narrow sleeves, and a hat with black gauze and golden curved feet, he knew that he was a high-grade servant , at least a young prisoner, salute immediately.

The two little eunuchs who followed Bai Yan turned back did not make a sound, the rules in the palace, the chief eunuch and high-ranking servants were in front, so they had no part to speak.Want to show off?If you can't get the benefits, you will definitely have to add the board.

"Our family was ordered to find Bachelor Xie."

Bai Yanhui was a eunuch who served others, but he also followed Emperor Yongle on the battlefield through life and death.

In front of the emperor, he didn't dare to speak loudly. In the eyes of these low-level civil servants, he was definitely a mountain that could not be climbed.

Emperor Yongle reused eunuchs because of their loyalty and talents, and it had nothing to do with suppressing courtiers.For example, Zheng He, Wang Jinghong, Hou Xian, Bai Yanhui, etc., if they were not limited by their own conditions, if they entered the court as officials with different identities, they might not be so bad.

On this point, the eunuchs after the Yongle Dynasty, except for a few, could not keep up with flattery.

Seeing Bai Yan's face turned cold, saying that he wanted to find Xie Jin, the civil official was shocked, not daring to delay, and immediately led Bai Yan back to the valet.

Xie Jin and Huang Huai were taken aback when they heard that the emperor had summoned them.

Could it be that there is something important to order?

"Our family is only summoned by order, and we don't know about the rest." Bai Yan folded his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty summoned Bachelor Xie, please come with our family."

These words are more than rude, they are not much different from Jin Yiwei.

Literati have always looked down on generals, let alone eunuchs.If Huang Huai hadn't held him back, Xie Jin would have lost his temper on the spot.

Bai Yan squinted his eyes, feeling disdainful in his heart.

Our family can see our thoughts clearly at a glance, wouldn't the emperor know?

That's it, still thinking about the power of the dragon?

dreaming.

It was already dark, and a fireman led the way with a lantern. Bai Yanhui didn't bother to talk to Jin, he was going to see Lord Yan sooner or later, so why bother talking to him?

After all, Xie Jin was not a fool. Looking at Bai Yanhui who was walking in a hurry, he felt uneasy.

When they arrived at the West Nuan Pavilion of the Chengyun Hall, the palace lanterns illuminated the faces of the servants in front of the door, and they felt even more uneasy.

Bai Yan glanced back at him, and stepped inside first.

Soon, the emperor's voice came from inside the warm pavilion, "Bachelor Xie please come in."

The cold tone made Xie Jin shiver, and he couldn't help but think of the time when Emperor Taizu Gao was dismissed from office and sent back.

Xie Jin bit the bullet and walked into the Nuan Pavilion, bowed down and bowed, "I see Your Majesty." As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind rang in his ears.

Xie Jin subconsciously hid for a moment, and looked intently. Two books were spread out on the stone bricks.

"His Majesty?"

"Xie Jin, I ask you, is my order worth mentioning in your eyes?"

Xie Jin's face turned pale immediately, "Why did Your Majesty say that? I dare not!"

"You still ask me?!"

Zhu Di was furious. He walked up to Xie Jin in a few strides, threw another book on the ground, and said sharply: "What did I say when I ordered you to repair the book?! How did you agree, and how did you do it? I ordered you to study a book that includes the knowledge of the world, and this is how you deal with me? Ah?!"

Xie Jin was sweating profusely, "I dare not, I..."

"You don't dare? I think you are very brave!" Emperor Yong Le laughed back in anger, "I'm good at martial arts, but I'm not an illiterate reckless man! How dare you fool me and make me a joke among the people in the world! Be bold!"

Xie Jin didn't dare to continue arguing, so he fell on the ground and kept pleading guilty.

In fact, he was speechless.

He knows better than anyone else how the book is being repaired.

I thought that the revision of the book was just a whim of the emperor, and it was for the world to read, so I wouldn't ask too much.He didn't take Dao Yan's reminder to heart either.The Son of Heaven manages a lot of things every day, just read the general outline of the catalog, how can he read it carefully?

For Xie Jin, completing the task early and re-participating in the government is the most important thing at present.

No, he completely misguessed the emperor's mind and provoked the wrath of Thunder.

At this moment, everything from Conglong's merits, which turned the court upside down, was thrown out of the sky.He wasn't even sure if he could get out of Xinuange alive.

Xie Jin fell on the ground, pleading guilty all the time.

Emperor Yong Le picked up another book from the imperial case, with both hands he pulled it in half.

Broken papers fell from the top of the head, accompanied by the emperor's cold voice, "Xie Jin, I will give you one more chance, the last time!"

The subtext is, if you dare to use such an attitude to fool things this time, you can decide for yourself what the consequences will be!

Xie Jin walked out of Xinuang Pavilion in sweat, and when he stepped out the door, he seemed to have escaped from the sky.

Even though he was wearing a cotton robe, his back was already wet with sweat.

Emperor Yong Le stood in the Nuan Pavilion with a gloomy expression and cold eyes. Those who were familiar with him knew that this was a sign that he was going to kill someone.

Bai Yanhui didn't let the little eunuch follow him, he bent down to pick up the paper that Zhu Di had torn up, waited until the hall was cleaned up, and waited carefully for Zhu Di to speak.

"Bring these as well." Zhu Di pointed to the remaining few books on the imperial case, "Send them back to the Imperial Academy together, and pass on my oral order. The imperial court supports them and asks them to do things. If they are not up to the task, I will allow them to serve! "

"The slaves obey."

Bai Yan picked up the scroll and left the Nuan Pavilion.

The next day, Emperor Yong Le summoned Dao Yan, and the monarch and his ministers discussed it for half an hour. Afterwards, the palace issued a decree, reprimanding the Hanlin for the unprepared books and re-editing.

And formally ordered Yao Guangxiao, the young teacher of the crown prince, Liu Jichi, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, and Xie Jin, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, to be the president and take charge of the revision of the book.

Monk Daoyan couldn't suppress this group of Hanlin alone, so Zhu Di simply transferred the Minister of Punishment to suppress the formation.Dare to take Dao Yan's words seriously, and go directly to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

He also ordered Wang Jing, a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, Wang Da, a scholar in attendance, Hu Yan, the son of the state, to sacrifice wine, Yang Pu, the Secretary of Economics and Economics, and Chen Ji, a Confucian scholar, as the president.Zou Ji, an attendant of the Imperial Academy, edited Wang Bao, Liang Qian, Wu Pu, Li Guan, Yang Jian, Cao Qi, edited Zhu Hong, reviewed Wang Hong, Jiang Ji, Pan Ji, Wang Yu, Su Bohou, Zhang Boying, classics Liang Yongxing, Shu Jishi Yang Xiang, Yin Changlong, Gao Deyang, the experience of the clan mansion, Ye Di, the official doctor, and Yan Bi, the deputy chief inspector of Shandong Province, are the vice presidents.

At the same time, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to select the officials in the court, and to search for old Confucian scholars who lived in the folk for compilation.

In addition, all the provinces were ordered to be in charge of the government, and the frontier guards were guarded. They recommended prefectures, counties, and rural good scholars to come to Beijing to fill in the writing.

All the staff were called together to open a library in Wenyuan Pavilion to repair books.

Book repairers and others are given salaries by court officials, rice by students, and treasures and cloth for those who have no meritorious reputation.

Emperor Yongle also decreed that all food and lodging will be provided by the imperial court during the revision period.

Renting a house is subsidized, and there are working meals for meals.Two meals a day, not enough to eat, not eating well, directly ask sin Guanglu Temple.

After the order was issued, Xie Jin and others did not dare to raise any objections.Didn't you see that the servants of the Ministry of punishment have been sent here?If you want to go home safely for the New Year, you have to follow the emperor's wishes and fix this book without any mistakes.

Someone in the court said that this action was a waste of money and money, please think twice.Kuang Hanlin Academy has already entered the "Document Dacheng" before, what else is the emperor dissatisfied with?It is not a good thing to be overjoyed, and it is fundamental to govern the country with diligence and thrift.

It's okay not to mention "The Great Completion of Documents", but when it comes to "The Great Completion of Documents", Zhu Di is so angry that he looks at some people in the court class with very unkind eyes.

Perhaps he sensed that his life was in danger, and before Emperor Yongle could speak, Xie Jin jumped out first, fired at the courtiers in Shangshu, quoted the words of the sages, listed a number of Ming emperors according to the stories of the sages, and even compared the revision of the book with the rule of Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang. Hook up directly.

With the foam flying from the mouth, the officials were dumbfounded and speechless.

It can be seen from the fierce firepower of Xie Dacai.

Emperor Yong Le nodded, it was still useful to keep Xie Jin.

Commander Yang Duo, who was ordered to stare at Xie Jin and the others, raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He was dressed in a red brocade robe, with sculpted eyebrows and thin lips. Even when he was smiling, he still felt an indescribable coldness.

Xie Jin's firepower was fierce, and he performed super-level. Huang Huai and Li Guan were on the sidelines to assist, Hanlin collectively went crazy, and Yu Shi had to stand aside in the matter.

The revision of books by the Son of Heaven is beneficial to the people, it will benefit the future generations, and it can also solve the temporary employment problem of many people. Whoever dares to continue to oppose it will be against the entire Imperial Academy!

As soon as this remark came out, the revision of the book was approved in the hall.

The courtiers all knew that the group of speech officials was not easy to provoke, and if they did, they would be covered in mud if they didn't fall into the water.Of course, fierce people like Uncle Xingning are excluded.

Compared with speech officials, the Hanlin Academy is even more difficult to mess with.After all, Yan Guan is just a fighter in the court, and he can survive to the end of the fifth and sixth ranks. The Imperial Academy is the cradle for training the leaders of various ministries.

If you offend the speaker, at most you will be scolded with facial nerve disorder.If you offend Hanlin, you have to be careful.It's fine if the other party is out of power, but once he gains power, he will accidentally be promoted to a cabinet bachelor, don't think too much about it, just pack up your bags and become an official.

There is no need for the Grand Scholar to do it, there are a lot of people below who are gearing up, hoping to get the appreciation of the boss by cleaning up someone.

Impeachment, suppression, all kinds of officialdom bullying, in short, bullying is not discussed.It's okay to meet a strong emperor, but if you change to someone who doesn't care much, the consequences can be imagined.

The debate in the court temporarily subsided, and the edict to summon talented people was quickly issued to all parts of the country.

Daning is located in northern Xinjiang, and received the edict later than other provinces.

After the edict arrived, Meng Qinghe invited the teachings and teachings of Confucianism and Wei Xue to explain the matter.

"Everyone should be selected in school and send the list to the Metropolitan Office. Those who meet the requirements of the imperial edict will be recommended by the official."

The instructions and instructions went away, and soon, the statistical list was sent to Meng Qinghe by Dushi.

On a thin piece of paper, there are so many names on the paper that you can count them with two palms, and half of them are Confucian teachers.

Meng Qinghe looked at Du Shi, and asked doubtfully: "There are only six people? But the others didn't meet the conditions, so they returned?"

Du Shi shook his head and said: "Go back to the guard, the list in the middle school newspaper is all here, and no one has been crossed out from the lowly position." Scratching his chin, a row of question marks appeared on Meng Qinghe's head.

It shouldn't be. Based on the statistics of the number of Confucianists and Guardians in Daning, the ratio is completely wrong.Excluding the Tatars and Jurchens, and then removing those preparing for the imperial and military examinations, and at the same time reducing those who are not qualified for the imperial examinations, there should not be only such a few people.

Those criminal officials sent from the capital to support education, and the half-abducted Confucian teachers, don't they want to take the opportunity to return to Beijing?

Or is it that everyone has collectively raised their ideological awareness and determined to take root in the frontiers and serve the country?

All things said, this subordinate official is not clear.However, after the list was delivered, two people approached him, wanting to move around and cross their names off the list.The reason is simple, poor handwriting.

"really?"

Du Shi nodded, "Sure enough."

"How to prove it?"

Du Shi's expression was subtle, "These two said that their right hand was accidentally injured by a brick, and they will write with their left hand within three months. I have seen it from the humble staff, and it is indeed injured."

Meng Qinghe: "..."

The edict of the imperial court is about writing books, not hard labor, so is it necessary to self-mutilate?

Looking at everything, and then looking at the names on the paper, Meng Qinghe shook his head, finally picked up a pen, and crossed out their names.

Things have come to this, people don't want to, so they can't be kidnapped to Nanjing, right?

After verifying the conditions of the remaining four people, there were only two talented people recommended by Daning, and the list was sent to Beijing, Shen Xuan remained silent.

Looking at the list recommended by King Han and King Zhao, he was even more speechless.

The Eight Mansions of Shuntian, the Guards of Daning, the land of Xuan Mansion, Kaiyuan of Guangning, just recommend ten talents?

Squeezing his forehead, Duke Dingguo was heartbroken, ten out of ten, report the truth!

In the frontier fortress, the folk customs are tough and still need to be educated, the emperor should be able to understand.

In December of the second year of Yongle, Wuyin, the lists of talents recommended by various prefectures and counties were delivered to the capital one after another.

After the second round of selection by the imperial court, the selected Confucian scholars will leave for Beijing after the year to participate in book revision.Most of them don't know what kind of grand event they will participate in.The purpose of many people coming to Beijing is to pave the way for future imperial examinations and officialdom.

In the same month, the Japanese tribute division landed in Ningbo, and under the "escort" of the Daming Guards, they headed for Nanjing.

Zheng He's fleet has set sail from Japan and continues southward, heading for Annan under the emperor's order.

The silk, porcelain and tea carried by the fleet were exchanged for a lot of gold and silver in Japan and the Ryukyu Islands.

The people sent by Xingningbo were a little bit unique, in addition to gold and silver, they also "changed" five or six craftsmen, all of whom were good at making Japanese knives.After boarding the boat, these Japanese people were put under centralized supervision.Zheng He knew about it, so he specially sent someone to inquire. Ding Qianhu, who was on board the ship, personally visited Zheng He and took out Meng Qinghe's personal letter.

After reading the letter, Eunuch Zheng joined the ranks of substitutions without saying a word.

not change?

If you don't change, you have to change!Those who resist must be Japanese pirates, arrest them all!

Zheng He's substitution was strongly supported by Wang Jinghong.

Soon, the people sent by King Han and King Zhao noticed the clue and wanted to follow suit, but it was too late.Fortunately, Ding Qianhu informed that Uncle Xingning had something to say, that the artisans exchanged this time will be presented to the two Highnesses for free.Of course, the big head is still dedicated to the emperor.

After a few words, everyone was smiling and happy.

It can be seen from this that the former arsenal secretary doctor, although he has been away from the civil service for a long time, has not lost his ability.

Ding Qianhu knows how to behave and do business, and more importantly, he doesn't get seasick!

When Ding Qianhu was selected to go to the East with Zheng He, Meng Qinghe couldn't help but admire his ability to know people, and he really had a unique vision.

Ever since, in Zheng He's fleet, there was an extra Ding Qianhu who was deeply passed down by Xing Ningbo, and the history of his voyages to the West would also be different because of this.
