The sound of drum music sounded softly, and Emperor Zhaowu Zhu Yongxing walked in slowly, paused briefly at the door of the palace, glanced at the new Jinshi, then looked back at the ministers of the cabinet who were following him, smiled faintly, and went straight to the entrance of the palace.
Xumizuo.[x.c
The person in charge of the ceremony was Chen Shaoyu, the Minister of Rites. When he saw Zhu Yongxing looking at him, he hurriedly bowed and went to the throne and said loudly: "The Enke Jinshi in the first year of Zhaowu has finished singing. All the new Jinshi will kneel down to listen to the long live edict!"
"Long live!"
Zhu Yongxing cleared his throat and said calmly, "I checked your resumes last night. Of the 240 Jinshi, 107 were from humble backgrounds, and 133 were from gentry or country officials.
I think this number is very fair." After a pause, he said calmly, "The Master said, 'If you learn well, you will become an official.' You have arrived here step by step, and you have become 'excellent in learning.' This 'official'
'Whether you do it well or not, it all depends on you! Whether you are assisting me in coordinating government affairs and being a minister; whether you are helping the imperial court to regulate local affairs, managing civil affairs, regulating people's sentiments, and being a good official who loves the people like a son; or whether you are corrupt.
Despicable, and then severely punished by the law after being ruined?"
Everyone lowered their heads. It was extremely quiet in the hall, and you could even hear the tiptoeing of the guards outside the hall.
"But with a public heart, even if there are some mistakes, I can't bear to treat you harshly." Zhu Yongxing's words echoed in the hall, "The imperial examination selection is originally a grand ceremony for the court to discuss talents, but in the past, some kind of teacher-student relationship has always been fabricated.
Students think that being selected is due to the examiner's kindness. If they are selected, they only remember that I am a Jinshi in a certain subject, so-and-so is a mentor, and so-and-so is in the same year. Seeking favor from the word "private", they form cliques and show favoritism.
, do not favor the general principles, are not familiar with Dali, do not care about the king's kindness, and do all kinds of rude and illegal things. If you act as an official according to this private intention, remember, you can't escape my insights, and you can't escape the laws of the country.
!”
Several cabinet officials frowned slightly, seeing Zhu Yongxing's stern words and admonitions. The ceremony, which was originally a joyful and lively ceremony, made everyone nervous and felt that something was wrong.
"You are a good official who is fair, loyal and wise. You can get glory, wealth and honor, and you can have a wife and a wife - because the honor you deserve is given to you by God, and it benefits the country and the people.
If it is for your own benefit, I will gladly give it to you. If it is for selfish use, corruption and perversion of the law, you can be beheaded, imprisoned, have your home confiscated and exiled - it is your own fault, and I will never tolerate it!" At this point, Zhu Yongxing smiled lightly.
, and said: "Today is your happy day, don't blame me for saying these things, I am doing it for your own good. Well. That's all. I hope that you can all serve your duties with sincerity. You can be loyal to the country and leave your name in the history books.
Hereafter.”
Chen Shaoyu hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "The number one scholar leads all the Jinshi to express gratitude!"
"Your Majesty—Liu Jiying!" Liu Jiying, the number one scholar, agreed with a trembling voice. He stood up, walked three steps towards the throne, knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times as a gift. He carefully took out the note of gratitude covered by Huang Ling from his sleeve, and boldly read out: "To Jinshi and
Liu Jiying, the first minister of the first class, and others. Cheng Huang, sincerely and sincerely, bowed his head and said: With the wind and clouds clearing the seat, peace will be a time of good fortune; the sun and moon will be beautiful, and the road will be prosperous, and the alliance of many scholars will be auspicious. Shu Siliang
They gathered to see the progress of the holy rule, and paid homage to each other. They all saw the glory of civilization. The dragon chapter is flourishing, people know the glory of the ancient times, and the Yanlai is frequently awarded to the world to admire the prosperity of Youwen..."
He read aloud, becoming more and more fluent, but Zhu Yongxing had no intention of trying to figure out these extravagantly decorated No. 1 scholar articles, not to mention that it was difficult to listen to them, so he had to endure it with a smile on his face.
And Liu Jiying's tone became more and more sonorous, with a faint sound of gold and stone: "...Fu Yuan learned from Mao Jixi, Delong Guangyun. The wind is the same as the eight forms, the bead bag and the golden mirror shine together; blessings are as good as nine, and the flowers and blessings are singing together.
Call and present. The atmosphere is heavy and harmonious, and the harmony always flows. The sky is filled with flowers, and the flying phoenixes and phoenixes are dancing together to show auspiciousness. When all nations come together, Ji Yu examines the gold and mud and sings a song! The ministers look up to the sky and pay homage to the saint, and they are moved to the screen.
When the camp arrives, I would like to express my gratitude and listen to you!"
All the Jinshi were waiting for the word "Yi Wen". When Liu Jiying read it out, they all kowtowed and said, "I would like to thank God for your kindness!"
"That's all." Zhu Yongxing smiled broadly, took the form of gratitude handed over by the female officer, unfolded it pretentiously, looked at it, put it aside, stared at Liu Jiying and said: "Liu Jiying, you write quite well about current affairs policy, you are bold and in-depth.
Well, it’s worthy of the No. 1 scholar’s writing, and the article is very readable.”
"I dare not mistakenly accept the gold medal. In fact, last night I had a discussion with Chen Shao, a first-class and second-class Jinshi official, and Wang Zhengnan, a third-class Jinshi official, and finally wrote it."
Zhu Yongxing smiled and nodded, and said: "A good article is like a flower. However, this article can only prove knowledge, but it may not prove ability. After the country is reborn, everything will change. You should be humble in the Hanlin Academy.
Study and become an official as soon as possible, I am eagerly waiting for the help of talented people like you!"
"I will definitely live up to Long Live's expectations..."
Zhu Yongxing smiled and said nothing. He sat upright and leaned on the back of the chair. His expression became solemn. After a long time, he said: "Very good, let's all get out!"
"Long live!"
More than two hundred people kowtowed their heads in unison. In an instant, Danbi's great music started, Huang Zhong, Da Lu, Taicu, Jia Zhong, Gu Xi... amid all kinds of palace music, officials from the Ministry of Rites came out wearing red and flowers.
The Panlong Golden List, with golden characters on a red background - this is the official imperial list written by Zhu Yongxing himself. It was personally escorted by the Minister of Rites, and the first three followed the list closely. They opened the Meridian Gate and went out in the middle. The officials were earlier than
Colored tents were set up on the street, wine and hairpins were handed to Ding Jia - the so-called "imperial street praise of officials", and then they went to the banquet of the Ministry of Rites (Qionglin Banquet) and all the other prosperous and beautiful places. There is no need to elaborate on the stories.
"On the wedding night, when the names on the gold medal list were being inscribed, I said some unpleasant words." The Jinshis retired, Zhu Yongxing shook his head gently, and said with a wry smile to the officials: "But this administration is related to the rise and fall of the country and the people.
Well-being, but I have to say a few words."
"Long live the Holy Ming." Liu Zuochen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stepped forward and said: "No heavy hammer is needed to sound the drum. These scholars who listen to the golden words of Long Live will definitely be diligent, loyal and honest in the future."
"Are my words that effective?" Zhu Yongxing smiled, waved his hand, and sighed softly, "Intimidate them with the law and supervise them in place. To ensure that officials are clean and honest, we must always keep an eye on it! Well, that's all for this.
I will be driving soon, dear friends, let’s take care of all the important things first!”
After a moment of silence, Wu Sangui stepped forward and bowed and said: "Long live the beginning of the memorial, I have prepared my ministers. When will I go south, I will also ask for the long live edict."
Wu Sangui went south as the chief officer of the Ministry of War, taking the military plans of the General Staff Headquarters to control the two armies of Xishuo and Fashuo. He first attacked Annan and then Luzon. This seemed to be a delegation of power and trust, but in fact it was a matter of delegating power and trust.
Wu Sangui was placed in the south, far away from the Dangshuo Army in the north. Because the Xinshuo Army and the Fashuo Army were subordinates of Liu Tichun and Ma Weixing, normal orders could be carried out, but if they wanted to make any changes, they would not listen to Wu Sangui.
Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said: "Just wait a little longer! The news of my journey north will be released first, which may have a paralyzing effect on the Annan Zheng family. In addition, Taiwan Zheng Jing seems to want to give in. If you go south, it seems that
It made them too hasty."
Wu Sangui respectfully accepted the order and was about to retreat when Zhu Yongxing asked again: "Wu Aiqing, has the General Staff formulated a plan for the joint operation of the Beijing Military Region and the Northeast Military Region? Although I advocate that we attack after spring plowing, it is not
On paper, you have more experience, what’s your opinion?”
Spring attacks are for farming, and autumn attacks are for harvesting. Generally speaking, these are the two standard times for launching military operations. Regardless of real or fake attacks, the enemy must mobilize. If mobilized, there will be no time for farming or harvesting, and there may be difficulties in food and grass.
"The General Staff has not made a final decision yet." Wu Sangui thought for a while and said, "We think that what Long Live advocates is the right path and the winning path. We have a far-reaching vision and can act accordingly."
A spring attack can certainly disrupt the normal spring plowing of the Qing Dynasty, but judging from the current amount of materials hoarded, the number of troops dispatched will be limited and it will be difficult to form an overwhelming advantage. After a while, supplies and food will be abundant, and the number of troops dispatched will be limited.
If there are more, the army will have more training and strengthening time.
Zhu Yongxing's ideas and standpoints were different from others, so he chose the latter of the two. Because the nature of the attack on the Manchus changed due to the reversal of the strength of the two sides. For the Ming army
In general, destroying spring plowing and harassing and attacking were already a bit petty. Zhu Yongxing believed that the purpose of future operations against the Manchu Qing Dynasty would mainly be to regain lost territory and gradually reduce it.
In other words, you can farm. Anyway, as long as you recover this area before harvesting, you will get nothing. Starting from this year, the Ming army's attacks will be less and heavier. Once a land is captured, it will be occupied.
The remnants of the Qing Dynasty have been pressing to the north. Pushing the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the north, where the natural environment is worse, will not only consume their strength, but also expand the safety range of the capital.
In fact, no matter how we fight, the Manchus are at a disadvantage, but the focus is different, the sooner or later the concept changes, and the local and overall considerations are different.
Zhu Yongxing hoped to use heavy blows in stages, hitting the Manchu and Qing Dynasties step by step with each punch. As for the frontline generals, based on common sense, they believed that this was a good time, and even if they could not regain the lost territory, they would keep the Manchu and Qing Dynasties busy.
"Then wait a little longer." Zhu Yongxing felt that destroying the enemy's farming was a waste of time on his side. "Let the two military regions continue to focus on the military camps and don't delay the spring plowing. As for the Manchus, let them plant, we will save enough
Just have the strength and prepare to collect it."
"Long live the wise man." Wu Sangui wanted to laugh but held it back, bowed and stepped back.
"Another batch of war horses arrived from France, and Wu Aiqing went to pick two." Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and then said: "The Southern Expedition is not only to expand the territory, but also to make up for the internal problems. The relationship is not small. Wu Aiqing did it with ease.
When you return to the capital in triumph, I will give you a horse to ride in the Forbidden City. Wu Yingxiong will be promoted to the crown prince, and you can choose one of your descendants, an Enyin Gongsheng, to accompany you to study with the royal family."
"Long live!" Wu Sangui hurriedly picked up the corner of his robe and knelt down, kowtowing and said: "Long live such an honor and favor, how can I act like this-"
"That's it." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand and said with a smile: "A wise man is a wise man after his merits are equal!"
