Xu Jing now has to find a big tree to enjoy the shade.
In the past, he thought Tang Yin was a big tree, but now it seems that Tang Yin is just a springboard at best.
He wanted to stay with Zhang Zhou and work, but Zhang Zhou ignored him and didn't take his pride in his financial resources seriously. No matter how much money he had, he still couldn't compare with Zhang Zhou. .
So now he wants to use Tang Yin as a springboard to lean on the big tree of Wang Shouren first.
Governor of Datong, Uncle Xinjian
No matter how you look at it, he looks cool, and he has nothing to be embarrassed about in front of Tang Yin.
"Wang Zhongcheng is a cautious person. I have never heard that he wants to recruit guests. Besides, as a judge, why would you rely on others?" Tang Yin did not want to be the intermediary.
Xu Jing sighed, "As a civil servant, if I can continue to take part in the examination, I don't need to worry about my future. However, in this situation, unless I don't want to be an official in the future, otherwise I have no choice but to leave." Be biased and look for channels that others think are unpopular. "Bohu, you have to understand me."
Xu Jing looked eagerly at Tang Yin to be his guide.
Tang Yin picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine first. Xu Jing next to him quickly filled it up for him.
Seeing that Tang Yin was willing to drink his wine, Xu Jing felt that the matter was almost done.
"I will talk to Wang Zhongcheng. As for whether he is willing to retain you, I can't be sure."
What Tang Yin actually wants to say is that your involvement in the case is in the limelight. Character, Wang Boan is also a prominent figure now, and he wants to keep a low profile as an official. Why use you, a high-profile figure, to cause trouble for yourself?
As Zhang Zhou and Wang Shouren expected.
After Huo Si led his troops south, he immediately made another memorial, expressing his willingness to accept the Ming Dynasty's grant of title and preparing to move his troops to the Hetao land, that is, Dongtao.
He is no longer harsh on the more than 10,000 tribesmen who were captured, and even his adopted son who was captured is not taken back. He probably knows that these people are the hostages of the Ming Dynasty. Now he is very eager to survive. urgent.
That day, Tang Yin got up very late in the morning. When he went to see Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren had already sent out all the official letters sent to various places.
Wang Shouren was quite polite when he saw Tang Yin coming.
They are not from the same school, but they seem to be on the same page now in terms of doing things.
“I just learned the news that on the north coast of Weining Sea, the Yongxiebu tribe also made a surprise attack, but Huosie was prepared for it. The Yongxiebu tribe lost their troops in this battle, but there were still people from other tribes in the follow-up. Approaching the Weining Sea, even after Huo Si's victory, he still led his troops south and prepared to submit to the Ming Dynasty."
The news about Wang Shouren also made Tang Yin very emotional.
Tang Yindao "Sure enough, Zhang Zhitai was fooled."
Wang Shouren said, "The wall fell and everyone pushed it down, and the time for the Mongolian right wing to rule the roost has come. Now, The various tribes will not give him good pasture. Although the Hetao area is not operated all year round, it is at least the intersection of three rivers.Water, grass, or cultivated land all gave him room to survive. ”
“Yeah. "
Tang Yin nodded and asked urgently, "When will he enter the customs?"
"In the past few days, I have planned to let him advance to Datong Town and unload his minions. Let him bring a small number of retinues to the capital, Bohu, you have to go with him."
Wang Shouren asked.
This confused Tang Yin. Didn't he ask me to come over and greet Huo Sire? Why did Guan Guan enter the capital even if he wanted me to accompany him all the way?
Wang Shouren wondered, "Isn't this how Zhang Zhitai arranged it?"
Tang Yin sighed. "Then I'll ask him later. "
When Wang Shouren heard this, he knew that Tang Yin was very lazy, or Tang Yin felt that this job was a bit dangerous. Once Huo Si changed his mind on the way to Beijing, it was not possible to kill the Ming envoy and then escape. No.
It doesn’t seem like a good thing to accompany a former prairie god.
“Bohu, the Ming Dynasty still has to send someone, since the imperial court has not sent one to greet him. As an envoy, Zhang Zhitai specially asked you to come here, so you must accompany him. "Wang Shouren did not discuss with Tang Yin and made the decision for Tang Yin, "In addition to the entourage of the Jinyi Guards, there will also be soldiers carrying flint muskets when entering the capital. Just don't worry. "
Tang Yin sighed and said, "It seems that this is the only way. ”
Wang Shouren originally thought that Huo Si had entered the Pass to see the court, and Zhang Zhou, as the winner, would personally feel the glory.
But then Wang Shouren discovered that Zhang Zhou had no idea about Huo Si. It seems that Zhang Zhou is not interested at all.
It seems that Zhang Zhou is only interested in how to raise military supplies. Apart from sending Tang Yin over, Zhang Zhou did not even send an official letter or a personal letter to him. Any arrangements for Huoshi's tribute this time will probably be left to Wang Shouren.
Huoshi will enter the customs on June 19th.
This time. Nearly half a month has passed since the Ming Dynasty's surprise attack on Weininghai. The commander-in-chief Wang Xi led Huoshan into the pass. At the same time, he also had to coordinate the troops outside the pass.
Wang Shouren had given the order not to allow fire. The soldiers and horses of Siemenggoljin were fifty miles away from the border. At the same time, they also promised that if the grassland tribes did not approach the south of Maoerzhuang, the Ming Dynasty would send troops to coordinate. This way Huoshi could enter the border with confidence. Of course, if Mengoljin If there is any change in Jinbe's troops, the Ming Dynasty will also think that Huo Si has evil intentions.
At that time, Huo Si will become a hostage, and it will not be an exaggeration to kill him.
Huo Si arrived in Datong at noon on June 20th.
This day was the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the people in Datong Town seemed to be out to meet "little lovers", almost everyone in the city. They came out to watch the surrender of the once arrogant prairie hungry wolves.
However, Wang Shouren did not want to arouse the Mengoljin tribe's rebellion, so he specially stipulated that no one was allowed to watch on the streets where the fire screen entered the city. Can't resist the enthusiasm of the people in the city
The soldiers will goThe city head was blocked, and the people would move closer to the nearest streets. Some even left the city early and waited far outside the city.
For the people of Ming Dynasty, this day is more like a festival than a festival. The Qixi Festival is like the Lantern Festival.
The fire sieve led thirty followers and brought a hundred horses, cattle, sheep and other tributes, which looked very shabby.
There is nothing we can do about it.
Nearly all the property and population of Huoshii’s headquarters were taken away by Wang Shouren. When Wang Shouren personally appeared at the city gate with the Ming Dynasty’s cavalry to greet him, Huoshi got off his horse with a look in his eyes. With a sense of hostility.
The once heroic leader of the grassland was defeated by a little-known new scholar, but it was not a frontal battle. Of course Huo Si would feel that Wang Shouren could not win with force.
But if you take into account the results of the previous battle at Piantou Pass, Fire Sieve actually has no temper.
The power in front of him is more that he, the former eagle of the grassland, wants to maintain his last dignity.
"I am Wang Shouren, the governor of the Datong Military Affairs Department and the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, who was ordered by His Majesty the Ming Dynasty."
Wang Shouren also dismounted and stepped forward surrounded by his retinue.
Although someone had identified it in advance and confirmed that it was Huo Si, the Ming side was also afraid that Huo Si was trying to kill the enemy and use themselves as bait to assassinate the future star of the Ming military.
But Wang Shouren didn’t seem to care much about this.
Just as the interpreter was about to come forward, Huo Si raised his hand and said, "No need to say it, I understand. Aren't you already the new uncle of the Ming Dynasty?"
Mongolia The right wing mostly dealt with the Ming Dynasty, and it did not surprise Wang Shouren that tribal leaders like Huo Si were proficient in Chinese.
But in the eyes of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, people who understand the language of the Ming Dynasty should have received some etiquette education, but based on his actions before the fire sieve and his rough and arrogant appearance, it does not look like it at all. People who have been influenced by the Confucian culture of the Ming Dynasty will naturally find it a bit strange that they can listen and speak the Ming language.
"The matter of the title has not yet been finalized. Huo Si, let's enter the city."
Wang Shouren's intention was to enter the city side by side with Huo Si.
Although Wang Shouren was the governor of the Ming Dynasty, Huoshai was also a surrendered tribal leader. In order to show his kindness and power to the grassland tribes, the emperor had no intention of killing Huoshai.
At the same time, you must also show respect for the fire sieve.
Allowing Wang Shouren, who had made a surprise attack on Weininghai, to accompany Huoshai, actually had some intimidating meaning.
The fire sieve mounted the horse and entered the city with Wang Shouren.
The cheers and shouts of soldiers can be heard everywhere on the city wall, which is a kind of emotional catharsis.
The soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty are still very angry with Huo Si. After all, Huo Si has violated the border several times, killed, wounded and kidnapped people, and also robbed property at the border. Even if Huo Si now surrenders to the Ming Dynasty, the court has decided not to allow him to do so. He was held accountable, but the Ming army and people still would not forgive this hungry wolf from their hearts.
Originally the people were not allowed toThey went to the streets to watch, but because the people in the city were so excited, the soldiers also deliberately released water.
In the end, many people ran to both sides of the street.
If it weren't for Wang Shouren's presence, they would have thrown rotten vegetable leaves, dung, etc., and now they would just stand on the roadside and curse at the fire sieve.
Huo Si can understand and has no objections. He seems to know very well what his position is today, and he also understands that the people of the Ming Dynasty are unlikely to have any goodwill toward him. Anyway, your governors are all with me. Next to me, he doesn’t even have the power to kill me, what’s the use of just scolding me
Fire Sieve into Datong was just a “celebration” arranged by Wang Shouren.
It is more to show the military power of the Ming Dynasty.
This is also to test whether Huo Si is sincere and surrenders. If Huo Si has a guilty conscience, he will not dare to enter Datong City.
Then Tang Yin and his party led a team of about 500 people to accompany, or "escort" Huo Si all the way to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The news reached the capital, and the monarchs, ministers and people were all jubilant.
In the court, Zhu Youtang once again demonstrated his merits for Zhang Zhou, and in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs, he praised Zhang Zhou to the top of the world.
This made many ministers present very uncomfortable.
"After this battle, the Ming Dynasty has established a victory in the northwest, and the day when the grassland will be established can be expected." Zhu Youtang looked excited.
Wu Xun’s expression was quite good, and he was easily moved into rhythm by his words, while everyone on the Wenchen side had a “just like that” expression, even if some people I really feel that spring is coming in the border towns of the Ming Dynasty. For the sake of my own position and career prospects, I still have to keep in step with Liu Jian and others, who are the head of the traditional civil servants.
Zhu Youtang said, "I am going to appoint Bingkuan as a pillar of the country, as the crown prince and tutor, and as the minister of the Ministry of War."
"Your Majesty will grant you the post of Wenxun based on your merits and qualifications. Since he has served as Minister of the Ministry for three years, he has not yet accomplished the task of leveling the grassland, and Zhang Zhou has not made any achievements in the northwest. If he rushes to increase the reward, it will make the army slack and will not help his cause."
Liu Jian would rush out to oppose this issue.
In the Ming Dynasty, among the civil servants' honors, Zhu Guo was the lord second only to Zuo Zhu Guo and You Zhu Guo, ranking first grade.
Although Zhang Zhou is also the censor of Zuodu, he does not have any civil service positions of the first or second rank. The official positions in the general system of border towns in the Ming Dynasty are temporary. With Zhang Zhou’s current position as the temporary right minister of the Ministry of War, Even if he returns to the imperial court, he can only be promoted to the third rank at most, and he probably won't be able to be placed in the capital as a minister of the Sixth Ministry, and he may have to be sent to Nanjing.
This brings up a problem. No matter how great your contribution is, Zhang Zhou, you can only be given a military title. As for the literary honors such as Zhu Guo, you should stay aside.
At present, there are still some Ming Dynasty Zhuguo, but those who become six ministers or cabinet ministers will basically be given the literary honors of the Zhuguo after passing the examination for three years. This kind of title is more symbolic. If you don't bring it in life, you won't take it with you in death, and you won't be given coupons, so you can't pass it on.
Most of them are at home.The nephew can get a seal and study in the Imperial College.
Zhu Youtang originally thought that giving Zhang Zhou a Duke of Lai was approved by Liu Jian and others. Now it should be easy to add a Zhuguo, but he did not know that he encountered such a big backlash. .
He probably also understands that ennobling the Duke of Lai does not hurt the basic base of the civil servants, but if it is Jiazhu Kingdom, it will make the civil servants feel like a thorn in their backs.
Zhu Youtang thought to himself, I haven’t added Zhu Guo to Bing Kuan yet, but Zhu Guo, you guys are really disappointing me.
"Let's discuss this later." Zhu Youtang didn't force it. Zhu Youtang was not too eager to fight for Zhang Zhou for a symbolic literary honor. Now he was just testing it like this. Let him know the attitude of this group of people, but it made him feel very rewarded.
"As for the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, I will use it to run the army in the northwest. You nobles should have no objections."
Just when everyone thought that the emperor wanted to When the official titles given to Zhang Zhou were "discussed later," the emperor specifically singled out the position of "Minister of War" for Zhang Zhou to strive for.
This actually means reminding the civil officials present.
Since you think that he has not been the minister for three years and cannot be given the honor of Zhuguo, then I will give him a part-time job as the minister of the Ministry of War. Now that the clock starts, you should not do anything. Please give me your opinion
Liu Jian is actually very helpless.
The emperor even gave Zhang Zhou the position of censor of Zuodu. Of course, this was only a part-time job. After all, the official censor of Zuodu was Min Gui, who was in charge of the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
But the emperor insisted on letting Zhang Zhou serve as Minister of War. This was obviously to embarrass the ministers of the DPRK.
"Since there is no opinion, the matter has been settled." Zhu Youtang His attitude seemed very firm again, "But I plan to transfer Bingkuan back to Beijing before the year ends. The staff will have to consider what kind of position he will be given at that time."
Tu Jian looked at Liu Jian One glance.
I was thinking, should I consider this kind of thing?
Shouldn’t I give him the title of Duke of Laiguo?
Even if he is not the Duke of Laiguo, I want to give him a title. The six departments of Nanjing, such as ministers and ministers, are waiting for him.
Zhu Youtang suddenly said, "The Ming Dynasty Huidian is about to be written. I will use Bingkuan's merits in compiling books to promote him to be a bachelor. This has been discussed before. In the past few days, I have been The Ministry of Officials will consider the day when the imperial edict will be issued by the Hanlin Academy, and I will wait for the fire to enter the capital."
The court meeting ended.
When leaving the palace, many ministers were discussing.
Just because of the fact that Huosi entered the capital, the emperor had to give Zhang Zhou the title of Zhu Guo, Crown Prince Tutor, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Bachelor of Attendance. This does not include the right minister of the Ministry of War and the left capital who had been decided before. Both the censor and the ministers of Lai Guogong felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
What a joke
"Zhang Bingkuan's contribution is very great. He has appeared in every battle this year, but in which battle did he charge into the battle?" Yuan Shouzhi, as the general envoy , has always had the biggest opinions on Zhang Zhou.
Also possibleIt was because his official position was not as good as those of the six ministers, and he had not considered advancing to the six ministers, so he spoke uprightly.
He deliberately let his colleagues hear these words, intending to bring this kind of discussion to the upper and lower levels of the government, and even to the people.
Min Gui, the imperial censor of Zuodu, said: "Since this year, reports of successes in various towns have been reported frequently. Your Majesty has even revised the rules for military merit rewards. With the power of one person to change the northwest pattern, it cannot be said that he has done nothing. "
"You"
Yuan Shouzhi frowned and looked at Min Gui.
In the court before, Min Gui had many opinions on Zhang Zhou, and often came out to oppose the emperor's appointment of Zhang Zhou.
Now when it comes to private discussions, Min Gui seems to be showing off his contribution to Zhang Zhou, which makes Yuan Shouzhi and some people around him confused.
Xu Qiong said, "In the current situation, keeping Zhang Bingkuan in the northwest is a good thing for both the government and the public. Why bother with the unrealistic official position? I dare you to ask, if after he returns to the court, there will be so many vacancies in the court." He still said that he had the ability to take all these positions at once."
This means that a hundred false positions are not as good as one real vacancy.
Which of these, the Attendant Bachelor, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Censor of Zuodu, and the Duke of Lai, are now in short supply
Isn’t it time to choose one among them? Half of them will be fooled by him
Anyone who misbehaves with the government will be a fool. The one who will cause trouble will be the Governor's Mansion and that old guy Zhang Mao. What are we in a hurry
The ministers present seemed to feel comfortable instantly after hearing Xu Qiong's words.
Suddenly, I felt that it was wonderful to let Zhang Zhou go to the northwest to gain military honors. I was originally worried that Zhang Zhou would stay in the court, but because of his contribution to book repair, he was promoted to a bachelor's degree scholar. Soon he was He will join the cabinet, but now that he has the title of Duke of Lai, he is at most a nobleman that we looked down upon in the past.
It doesn’t matter whether he is a noble person or not, as long as he doesn’t mess around, we will do it.
Inside the Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Houzhao was preparing to go to class, and here Gu Dayong brought him a letter from Liu Jin.
"This old boy, let him follow Mr. Zhang to achieve military merit, but he went off to the side to eat and wait until he died." Zhu Houzhao was very angry at Liu Jin.
Gu Dayong wanted to say that this was something he and Liu Jin could choose
Everyone thought that there would be a war in Pianguan, but the war did not happen in Pianguan. Liu Jin wanted to get There is no chance of military success
Zhu Houzhao said, "Bring me my military map. I will study it carefully. Later, I will flatten the grassland myself. How can such unparalleled achievements be passed on to others?" Please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
