Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh defeat

Blood blew, no one was inhabited by thousands of miles. The land was expanded for thousands of miles, and three counties were established.

In the early morning of August 11, eight hundred miles of quick successors were sent back to the capital from the south. Military and national affairs were reported to the emperor without any delay.

In the early morning of the Ming Palace, Emperor Yongzhi, who was staying at He Guiren's house at night, stood up, rushed to the study behind Qinzheng Hall, and took the good news presented by the eunuch Xu Yan, and looked carefully again and again.

Under the bright palace lanterns, Emperor Yongzhi, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, looked a little unwaking. Then, the fat and white emperor laughed to the sky, "Haha, Qi Chi is really a famous minister of this dynasty. This good news came!"

August 12th is very sunny. Emperor Yongzhi went back to make up for a rehabilitation and summoned all the ministers in the Qinzheng Hall of the Daming Palace in the morning. At this time, the good news from Yunnan had already spread to the entire court.

Whether it is an official who is resting at home, an official who is in the Six Ministry or the Three Laws, an official who is in the city and outside the city, or an official who is accompanying the Daming Palace, all of them have received news. The southwest victory is great and the land is expanded for thousands of miles. You can offer prisoners in front of the Meridian Gate.

In the Qinzheng Hall, all the officials of the fifth rank and above gathered here. The Hanlin and the Kedao square formation also gathered here.

Shan - Zhao Junbo, the censor of the West Road, serves as the censor of the censor, and is picking up the etiquette in the hall. Those who dare to make noise and be rude will definitely be corrected and impeached by him.

Jia Huan, who had already left off and returned to "work", was also standing in front of the Hanlin square formation in his blue official robe. Han Lin was nominally a minister, and the square formation was relatively high. In fact, this is also a reflection of the Hanlin status as a noble person.

However, compared to the excitement in the hall, the atmosphere in the Hanlin phalanx was slightly depressed.

The Hanlin Academy was all civil servants who came from the imperial examinations, and they were all elites among civil servants. During this period of August, when they were in a stalemate with the emperor, everyone in the Hanlin Academy gave memorials. Of course, except Jia Huan.

Filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. If he does not submit a memorial, no one will blame him in person. Of course, there are a few words behind his back.

At this time, the storm eye of the Hanlin square was standing on Weng Zongdao not far from Jia Huan. He was very outstanding these days, like a leader of public opinion. However, the elites of the civil service group who were in a stalemate with the emperor had already anticipated their failure.

The achievements of the emperor, civil and military power. Civil and civil governance have always been difficult to evaluate. However, martial arts are very easy to determine. The victory in the southwest, the expansion of the territory of thousands of miles, and the land of the three counties was won. This was the great victory of the state in the past twenty years. It greatly increased the prestige and morale of the state.

Now, if the public opinion scolds Emperor Yongzhi again, it will be difficult to form a joint force. Don’t you see that before the Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu killed the literati ministers and went to court, they had to say goodbye to their family members, but they did not damage the wisdom of the two emperors at all.

Weng Zongdao's expression was serious.

Jia Huan's expression was calm, making people unable to see that he was in a mood and was thinking about what he was thinking.

But Zhou Shenxing, who is also a newcomer to the Hanlin Academy and the second place in the first class, smiled. His plan succeeded. Now, the top scholar Weng Zongdao is in trouble, and Tanhua Jia Huan's reputation has plummeted. Then, he is the leader of the Jinshi in the current class. Haha!





Below the emperor's throne, four prime ministers were led by the great ministers. To sum up are the important civil and military officials. Prince Shun, King Wu, King Beijing, Duke Chengguo, Wei Qihou and other princes were all in the Wu ministers' sequence. The civil and ministers were all in the bridal robe, and the six tribes and nine ministers gathered together.

King Beijing looked at the civil officials opposite him, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. The four kings and eight dukes and other old martial heroes did not speak out when one of their core figures Jia Zheng was impeached. At this time, there is no need to say anything.

When the emperor's prestige is soaring, what should we do?

Other military generals should laugh more unrestrainedly. Wei Qihou, who had scolded Mr. He in person, looked smiling and swept around the sixth radius of the Censorate and the six departments. This will be the worst-hit area!

In the square formation of Tongzhengsi, Jia Zheng tried hard to suppress his joy. On the way to Daming Palace today, his concubine's son had already analyzed to him: the civil servant group was defeated by this good news from the southwest. It was really a disaster. And when he went to Fujian to serve as a scholar, he would definitely pass.

After the whip sounded, Grand Secretary Xie Xuan came out and said, "The Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, the Right Censor, Qi Chi, won a great victory in the southwest, and expanded his territory. I would like to congratulate you." Xie Xuan was the head of the military minister, and the official good news was now in his hands.

Grand Secretary Xie spoke up and flattered Emperor Yongzhi. In the current public opinion atmosphere, no one in the court came out to scold him. The contribution of expanding territory was too great.

Emperor Yongzhi, who was on the imperial throne, spoke in a very good mood: "It is not my only one who can do it. The Military Affairs Office plans, the Ministry of War supplies, and the command of the soldiers in front of them. Only then did they win a great victory."

Wei Qihou, the right governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, came out and reported: "The Holy Emperor will have such a great victory when he is in the court. God bless my emperor Zhou. I request Your Majesty to reward Qi Chi and the soldiers in front."

As mentioned earlier, the Ministry of War was just a logistics agency at this time. He was in charge of the promotion of military officers and appointed the Governor's Office of the Five Army. The left governor Niu Jizong had already led the army to fight against the Western Regions. Now the head of the Governor's Office of the Five Army is Wei Qihou.

Even if Qi Chi was a civil servant who commanded the army and made such great contributions, Wei Qihou would still ask for credit for the soldiers. Furthermore, civil servants and nobles cannot be exchanged!

Emperor Yongzhi laughed and said, "How can I be rewarded by Qi Qing to make such a great contribution? I have appointed Qi Chi as the Annan Bo and ordered him to destroy the Piao Kingdom at his discretion. A small country! The rewards of the remaining soldiers will be drafted and implemented by the Governor's Office of the Five Army."

The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Qi Chi made such a great contribution, and the emperor was granted a marquis, and no one in the court had any objections. This is the right thing to do. As the saying goes: Why not bring Wu Gou and collect dozens of states in the southwest? Please go to Lingyan Pavilion and be a scholar and marquis!

Immediately, Grand Secretary Xie took the lead, and all the civil and military officials bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Yongzhi laughed a few times very happily. He was so frustrated with the civil servants that he had been competing with for more than ten days.

At this time, Yuan Hao, the young minister of Guanglu Temple, who is known for his ability to guess the will of the emperor, came out and said loudly: "I heard that the world is peaceful, and the holy lord must be the country. When the enemy chief is beheaded, there must be famous ministers. Governor of Qi, famous ministers of the country. It is recognized by the world. If Your Majesty is the holy lord, how dare I doubt it again?"

This is completely a complete word of flattery for the emperor. Before the gentlemen in the court could persuade him, three court officials snatched out of the train and praised the emperor. They were on the same line as Yuan Hao. In the imperial court, they belonged to the Heroes faction in front of the emperor.

Emperor Yongzhi smiled and said, "You are exaggerating and you should be fined three months."

Wei Hong, the Minister of Revenue, came out and said: "I obey the order."

Yuan Hao and others smiled and didn't care. Many people called these guys shameless and shameless.

Emperor Yongzhi restrained his smile and said loudly: "Where is Jia Zheng?"

Jia Zheng, who is located in the Tongzhengsi phalanx at the end of the Qinzheng Hall, was out of the list, "I am here."

Emperor Yongzhi said: "Jia Qing is a straightforward and upright person, humble and kind, with a kind character, and a clean and honest reputation. He respects the wise and inferior, helps the weak and helps the dangers, and has a great style of ancestors. I know well that I have been promoted to the deputy envoy of the Fujian Censorate and Admiral to study Taoism."

Before, the emperor specially simplified his father's position as a fifth-rank official, and was the assistant minister of the rank of the Tao. Now he was promoted to two levels and jumped to the fourth-rank deputy envoy of the criminal prosecutor. This was an obvious act of revenge.

After Emperor Yongzhi finished speaking, he looked around the ministers, "Do you have any objections?" His eyes fell on Grand Secretary He, the leader of the civil service group.

Xie, the head of the court, was not from the imperial examination. He was a miscellaneous official and was from Zhuoliu. He was promoted to his current position because he was deeply trusted by Dangjinzi.

Grand Secretary He sighed in his heart and said, "I have no objection."

Under such circumstances, the civil servant group has already lost. If you fight against the emperor, it will only be ugly. As a civil servant, it is a long-term struggle and compromise process. If you don’t lose one, you will be finished.

Mr. He said that there was no objection, and the civil officials naturally had no objection. The appointment was approved.

Emperor Yongzhi smiled arrogantly and asked the eunuch general manager Xu Yan to read out his latest decree, demoting Weng Zongdao, the top scholar in Yimao, to the prefect of Luoping Prefecture, Yunnan, and demoting four Shujishi. Then demoting twelve censors of Kedao. All of them were civil officials who had recently become more powerful.

The commander of the Jinyiwei commander Mao Kun raised his lips. Of course, he collected the list and presented it to the emperor.

Grand Secretary He's face became very ugly. The entire civil servant group suffered heavy blows. These people are the essence of the civil servant group. Officials who are not from the imperial examination dare to fight for their lives with the will of the emperor!

He underestimated the emperor's nature. When he admitted defeat, the emperor killed himself, pursued him relentlessly, and demoted all the backbone of the civil servant group. Alas... At this moment, Grand Secretary He's heart was filled with bitterness.

The demoted officials came out one after another and bowed and left the Qinzheng Hall. The atmosphere was miserable. No one could hide, and the censor stared at him. Weng Zongdao walked out of the Hanlin formation with expressionless expression, bowed to the emperor, and then withdrew.

Grand Secretary Liu looked at his favorite disciple and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Seeking benevolence! Finally, the emperor cherishes his feathers and does not kill civil officials.

Then, the emperor announced a series of personnel changes, supplementing the new Censor and the Six Censors' Censorship. The candidate was provided by Mr. Xie.





At the end of the court meeting, Emperor Yongzhi's series of techniques surprised the court officials. There is no doubt that before, the slightly declining Grand Secretary Xie once again restored his position as the foreman of the Military and Air Minister, while Grand Secretary He suffered a heavy blow.

Jia Zheng happily spoke to King Beijing and others. Jia Huan followed his colleagues from the Hanlin Academy to walk out of the Qinzheng Hall in silence. In the afternoon autumn, he looked back at the hall where ministers were walking out of the endless stream of ministers.

My heart is full of depression!

That's right, he actually gained a lot in this wave of government storm. His elder sister Jia Yuanchun successfully won the favor of the emperor. His father, Zhengguan Jia, was promoted to two levels and served as the Grand Master of the School of Education in Fujian, a powerful imperial examination province. His uncle Wang Ziteng belonged to the Grand Secretary Xie and his power grew.

However, Jia Huan was not happy. Instead, he felt very depressed.

The bones of the Qing Dynasty killed the civil officials were soft, and they didn't dare to speak. Then what? Jiuzhou was angry and relied on the wind and thunder, and thousands of horses were silenced! The Holy Lord was not blown out in flattery. For example, my Kang Mazi from the Qing Dynasty was extremely shameless.

A wise lord should do it, act, and criticize it. Who can do it without mistakes if a person is not a sage?

In the deepest part of his heart, Jia Huan regarded himself as a civil servant.
