The beginning of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi was undoubtedly thrilling. The death of a benevolent monarch who had been in power for eighteen years and the enthronement of the most special prince since the founding of the Ming Dynasty were two major events that made the court unable to calm down.
And for each specific person, his or her own destiny seems to have entered a period of turmoil.
"Records of Xiaozong" needs someone to revise it, who will do it?
Officials are also entering a period of replacement between the old and the new.
Especially some positions that are particularly important to the emperor, such as the commander of the Imperial Guard.
The special nature of Jinyiwei is self-evident. Mou Bin matched the temper of Emperor Hongzhi, brought some righteousness to his dealings, and maintained a good relationship with the civil servants.
But how to put it...
Does the commander of the Jinyiwei need to have such a good relationship with the civilian officials?
At the same time, Mao Yuwen followed Liu Jin's path. Since entering Zhu Houzhao's sight, he has made great contributions one after another. He has been promoted from an ordinary prison chief in the Ministry of Punishment to the commander of the Jinyi Guards today.
Others only knew that the prince trained him, but they didn't know that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to leave such a person for his son back then.
In the current Jinyiwei, the relationship between these two people is also very subtle.
Mou Bin was an important minister of the previous generation, and Mao Yuwen was the new favorite minister. Some things seemed to happen and should happen.
Don't tell others, Mao Yuwen himself has been unable to contain himself for the past few months.
As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao would naturally not ignore Jinyiwei. This famous secret service agency made a real difference if it was used well. However, the changes in the personnel of Jinyiwei are not as drastic as those of the Supervisor of Ceremonies or the Ministry of War. So far, the pattern of Mou and Mao has not changed.
Mao Yuwen actually thought about the reason himself.
Winter is gradually gone, spring has begun to bloom, and Mao Yuwen, a bachelor at that time, has married a wife and has children. Sometimes he teases his children, pointing to the stars in the sky and telling stories. When the children fall asleep, he will still look up at the stars and meditate to himself.
After the late emperor's funeral, he became more thoughtful every day.
The current emperor is an extraordinary talent, and has overseen the country for many years. There was not even an adjustment period after he ascended the throne, and the government quickly got back on track. But it seems that Jin Yiwei has been forgotten.
"Sir, it's late at night."
The female Juan in the mansion brought him a thick coat, which he brought back from Jiangnan. He was also someone fished out of the dead, named Xu Xueyun. The girl was a daughter of a wealthy family. Due to the disaster at home, she had particularly delicate eyebrows, which attracted Mao Yuwen, so he took her back to the capital.
In the girl's mind, Mao Yuwen was already a man of great ability. With his ability, he was appreciated by the emperor and could even be regarded as a figure. But there are still times when people with great ability are insignificant and powerless in the capital, just like now.
"...Xueyun, do you think I haven't done enough, sir?"
It has been more than ten days, and Xu Xueyun also knows why he is worried, "The affairs of the imperial court are important matters for men. I, a woman, can't understand and can't talk about it. But I also had a time when my father passed away. If others come to ask at this time, No matter how I divide my family property, I will feel that he is a bad person who only cares about money."
Mao Yuwen was a little surprised. Xu Xueyun, a girl, held her hands in her hands and stood quietly like this. She was pretty at most seven points. She looked like an ordinary girl, but what he said was completely beyond his expectation. ….
"I know how to reply."
…
…
"Welcome to your majesty, my humble minister Mao! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"Get back on your feet." The emperor walked down the steps and stretched out his hand to help him up. "The situation in the court has been a bit chaotic recently, and some things have not been arranged in time. Don't have any thoughts in your mind."
Mao Yuwen did not dare to let the emperor help him, so he bent down and took a step back, and replied: "I have not had a father since I was a child, but I also know the pain of my mother's death. Your Majesty... still wants to protect the dragon body. At this time, how can I Do you have any ideas? If you do, it’s just to help His Majesty solve your problems.”
Liu Jin's expression changed on the side. People outside only knew that Mao Yuwen was ruthless in his work. On weekdays,
He was even a little arrogant in his actions, but in fact, this person had a completely different behavior in front of the emperor. No one had ever said such flattery before.
Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth slightly, and he thought of a sentence, it is true that for every man who slaughters dogs for justice, he will be a scholar for the sake of betrayal. This prison chief from the Criminal Department, who was originally the lowest, spoke heart-warming words that he had never heard before.
So his expression was a little moved, but he didn't want to show it at this time, so he walked behind Mao Yuwen and turned his back to him, "...it's not a big deal to announce your arrival this time. Ding Zuping, the governor of Yingtian, has been dismissed by me. Go check on this person."
The emperor must hold grudges sometimes and cannot blindly pretend to be a good person.
He scolded Zhang Fuhua in front of the ministers, saying that he was of no great use and could not even borrow food. But that was in front of others. As an emperor, it is natural to reprimand those who do not do things well.
But looking back, we have to wonder why Zhang Fuhua didn't get things done. This was also the reason why he asked Jin Yiwei to investigate Ding Zuping.
As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on its master. Although Zhang Fuhua was not the emperor's favorite, he was the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate after all. Such an important minister was still sent by the emperor. As a result, Governor Yingtian did not give him any face. What's the meaning?
Doesn’t it mean that he doesn’t give the emperor face?
In politics, the emperor had to consider how effective Yingtian's official edict was.
So this is not a trivial matter that can be ignored. If there are too many such things, doesn't it mean that the emperor's will will not be effective everywhere?
"Wei Chen understands."
"By the way, I want to know if there is any surplus food in Nanzhili that I can borrow. If there is, then regardless of whether you find any evidence of Ding Zuping's crime, send someone to arrest him immediately. If not, just follow the rules."
This is the case in Southern Zhili, and I don’t know how many governors in other places are also like this. It is still necessary to attack the mountains and shake the tigers.
"Your Majesty, do you want to touch the entire Yingtian Mansion from top to bottom?"
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and asked, "Can you do it?"
"Please give it a try."
"You have learned to be cunning." The emperor pointed at him and laughed and scolded: "Who did you learn the art of speaking from? If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. I won't blame you. What does it mean to try, this Is it possible to do it or not?"
Mao Yuwen's eyes were slender, and his smile was like a slit. "No matter how lazy I am, I can't escape His Majesty's eyes. Today, I would like to say something in front of His Majesty that I can't sleep with. I will do it." get!"….
"Don't be unable to sleep. There are some ministers in the court who are overt and covert, but I still have a lot of my own people. As long as you can relieve me of some worries, you will not hold back. Okay, I will treat this promise as if you didn't do it. , go about your business with peace of mind."
"Yes, I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
"But you don't have to go personally to Jiangnan, just send someone. Mao Yuwen's famous name will scare people to death there. Now the top priority of the court is Ningxia. The Ming Dynasty is currently at war. Today morning, Someone named Jiang Yi mentioned in the incident that the price of rice in Beijing has increased. Jin Yiwei has to take care of this matter."
"Your Majesty means..."
"Some businessmen took the opportunity to raise prices when the imperial court was using troops. Although this is a business opportunity, I will not allow it if the country's wealth is in dire straits."
Mao Yuwen cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's last four words are enough!"
"Post notices first, then catch those who know the law and break the law!"
"Yes. Then I will retire."
"Wait a minute." The emperor thought of what he said when he first arrived, "I didn't forget you because of my grief. There were other reasons. You will know in the future."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, I dare not." Mao Yuwen immediately knelt down.
"Go down and do things with your heart."
If it's superfluous, it wouldn't be right as an emperor to say it. Just make it what you mean.
After Mao Yuwen returned home, he summoned Xu Xueyun to express his appreciation for her reminder that day.
Xu Xueyun blinked, but he didn't take too much credit, "I can only understand it from the emotional perspective of ordinary people. Looking at me, today's Holy Emperor is actually
He is a person of temperament. If others have true feelings, the Holy Spirit will be able to feel it. "
Mao Yuwen nodded, "That makes sense!"
Unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything to help with the matter in the northwest.
In this situation, not only Yang Yiqing, but also the emperor was waiting for Yang Shangyi to arrive in Ningxia.
Yang Shangyi set out from Datong, first to Taiyuan and then to Yulin. When he arrived in Yulin, he was already the place where Yang Yiqing controlled himself. Yang Shangyi also received Yang Yiqing's first letter here.
As soon as the letter arrived, Yang Shangyi immediately urged the troops to move forward.
His army has an imperial edict and can be replenished along the way. The money and food consumed in each town will be replenished by the court, which is the fastest.
According to Yang Yiqing's plan, he wanted to boldly show weakness, and then lure Huo Si to attack. This was a very risky move. It could be said that he was desperate, but the desperate purpose was to find a fighting opportunity for Yang Shangyi.
Yang Yiqing said in the letter that only Yang Shangyi and his army could defeat the Tatars, provided that he could arrive in time. Once it is achieved, even if it is just a small victory, Yang Shangyi will have a shocking achievement!
In this case, how could he not be anxious?
This is also the style of doing things for an old official like Yang Yiqing. How does he have any friendship with Yang Shangyi? We are all border generals and have such a good relationship with each other. What do you want to do?
But Yang Yiqing has a way to touch Yang Shangyi's itchy spot and ask him to do his best.
In the army, Ma Yihuai and other generals were very strange.
Yang Shangyi did not say anything else, and only said to the four generals in front of him: "You are all from the military academy. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. I don't need to say how important this victory is to Your Majesty. This is one. In addition, Yang Department Tang has made up his mind to lure Huo Si with all his might. The two guards from Lingzhou City have already lost a battle, in order to disarm Huo Si and make him believe that Yang Butang is a foolish person. At this time It’s up to us to make the final decision.”….
Everyone was very excited when they heard it.
This is a great achievement! Others are working hard to win for them.
"But no matter what, a tired army cannot fight." Ma Yihuai raised his concerns.
Yang Shangyi waved his hand, "I have my own opinion. It's not too late to rest until we get close to Ningxia. In addition, I ordered Peng Huiyong, who stayed in Datong, to lead his troops out of the city for inspection. Didn't this guy always say that there is no war? I agreed and let him Bring your two thousand men to fight against the Tatars, giving the illusion that we are still in Datong."
Yang Shangyi was originally from the battlefield. He could feel the pulse of the troops and knew their situation. No matter how hard the journey is, can it be as hard as climbing on ice and lying in the snow, hacking each other with Tatars? I'm not afraid of blood, but I'm afraid of these.
So he held on to the saddle and got on the horse. "Back then, Wang Xiangmin Gong (Wang Yue) said that the Tatars always ran away when they came. Unless they find their lair, our army will not be able to win a big victory. Now the Tatar fire sieve The army is just outside Lingzhou City, and Yang Budang used his own life to lure him. This is the only chance for the Ming Dynasty, and it is also our only chance. If we lose it, we will have to go to the vast desert to find them. But you also know, The Ming Dynasty has not conquered the desert for many years. So if we cannot catch Huo Si this time, we may never have the chance to catch him again in this life!"
"We are the elite, but no war has ever proven that we are the elite!"
Yang Shangyi's words were passed on to the ears of the cavalry all over the mountains and plains. They received the most adequate pay, used the best equipment, and rode the best horses. Their pride also required victory.
"Set off!"
"Set off!"
…
The roar resounded throughout the valley, and the sound of horse hooves drowned out everything.
Such a scene made Yang Shangyi's blood boil. He thought silently in his heart: I must let people know that after Duke Wang Xiangmin, the Ming Dynasty also had generals!
He has seen with his own eyes the demeanor of a famous general like Wang Yue, who is majestic and famous in history. If a man can do that, his life will not be in vain!
