The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 136 The Dahuo's Contemporary Three-foot Sword Will Raise Hundreds of Thousands of People in the World ([-]-character Chapter)
Half an hour later, the servants of the Imperial Academy brought Wang Shouren to Chang Feng.

Wang Shouren saw Chang Feng with familiarity, but for a while he couldn't remember where he saw him.

Chang Feng smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't come here without any problems."

Wang Shouren asked: "Your Excellency?"

Chang Feng said: "Did you forget? On the ground in Tai'an, you ate six of my pot helmets. Good guy, I've never seen someone who can eat like you."

Wang Shouren slapped his head: "Ah! I remembered, you are the one who gave me a meal."

Wang Hua reprimanded him: "Don't be rude. Now you should be called 'Chang Qianhu'. Quickly kneel down and salute, confess your guilt."

Chang Feng said: "There is no need to be polite, please sit down."

Chang Feng understood Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts.Emperor Hongzhi asked him to check the person who wrote the anonymous letter because he was afraid that the person who wrote the letter was a pedantic official.Emperor Hongzhi had to find him and abandon him.

Now it is found out that the person who wrote the letter was a young man with no official title or fame.With Emperor Hongzhi's benevolent character, he would never be punished.

Wang Shouren didn't dare to sit down, and asked directly: "Why did Chang Qianhu come to me? Do you want me to return the pot helmet? I don't have a pot helmet at home, so I didn't bring it."

"How about I pay you back six qian? You can buy sixty pot helmets!"

Wang Hua became impatient, and teased Tiqi, the emperor's favorite, "Turtle son, are you going to kill yourself?"
Wang Hua kicked him directly: "Kneel down!"

Wang Shouren knelt down.

Chang Feng quickly helped him up with both hands: "You don't need to kneel, Bachelor Wang, don't scare Young Master Ling."

After Wang Shouren got up, Chang Feng handed him the anonymous letter: "You wrote this?"

Wang Shouren nodded.

Chang Feng asked again: "It was you who stole your father's official robe last night and wore it to the east middle gate of the imperial city?"

Wang Shouren replied truthfully: "Yes."

Chang Feng asked: "Why did you write such a letter to the emperor?"

Wang Shouren replied: "Scholars should establish their hearts for the world, establish their lives for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations."

"It's a pity that I don't have fame and official position for the time being. I can't report to the emperor the way I have thought up to bring peace to the world."

"I have no choice but to write anonymously. I hope the emperor will give you good advice."

The truth about the anonymous letter came to light.It's just a nerd who wants to express his unrealistic ideas to Emperor Hongzhi.

Chang Feng comforted Wang Hua: "Scholar Wang, this is not a big deal. The emperor should not pursue it. You and Young Master Ling don't need to be afraid."

Turning his head, Chang Feng said to Wang Shouren again: "Little brother, if you want to serve the emperor, you'd better follow the five-ranked ten-year hospital examination, township examination, general examination, and palace examination all the way up to obtain an official position."

"At that time, you will be able to submit the memorial in a fair manner."

Wang Hua felt relieved after hearing this: "Thank you Chang Qianhu for your kind hand."

After speaking, Wang Hua made a gesture to kneel down and salute Chang Feng.

Chang Feng said: "Scholar Wang doesn't have to be like this. Although I am a Tiqi, I am also a scholar. You are a senior Xuelin and a champion. I should respect you!"

Chang Feng entered the palace, came to Qianqing Palace before lunch, and reported to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Young man, it's not surprising to have such childish remarks. I won't pursue this matter."

"But having said that, although his thinking is childish, his writing is remarkable and his handwriting is also very good. If he can be trained, he will surely achieve great things in the future."

Chang Feng quickly patted Emperor Hongzhi's dragon fart: "The emperor is merciful, and it is really a blessing for all people in the world."

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "That's right. You said that this person is the son of Wang Hua, a scholar-in-waiting? Coincidentally, I'm going to have a big sutra banquet at noon tomorrow. Wang Hua has to come as a lecturer-in-waiting."

"You let him bring his son along. Oh, you come too, and listen to Jing Yan's knowledge."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Thank you, Majesty Long En."

In the evening, Chang Feng went home on a business trip.

Ninth Madam graciously changed Chang Feng's flying fish suit.

Chang Feng told her: "Prepare me a set of collared shirt and square scarf. I will wear it tomorrow."

Liu Xiaoyan, who was hugging a strong man, was a little strange: "This is the dress of a Confucian scholar. What are you wearing it for?"

Chang Feng explained: "Tomorrow, I'm going to the palace to participate in the Sutra feast. Officials participating in the Sutra feast will not wear official uniforms, but Confucian uniforms."

Mrs. Nine doesn't understand what is Jingyan.She asked: "What kind of banquet? You have to change clothes after drinking? You Han people have many rules."

Liu Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Sister, it's not a banquet. It's a sutra banquet. It's just a group of scholars gathered around the emperor to give lectures and discuss knowledge with the emperor."

Ninth Madam nodded slightly: "My sister is still very knowledgeable."

Tangtang interjected: "Brother is a butcher holding scriptures and pretending to be a scholar!"

Liu Xiaoyan reprimanded her: "Tangtang, don't talk nonsense. Your brother is an official of the court, not a butcher."

But Tangtang said: "Pingping told me. She said that she heard her father tell a uncle that my brother is a butcher."

Chang Feng asked, "Who is Pingping?"

Liu Xiaoyan said: "The little girl of Gao Shilang's family in the Ministry of Rites."

Chang Feng was stunned.Even if I study every night to make progress.Officials in the court still regard him, the emperor's celebrity in Jinyiwei, as a butcher.

Stereotypes cannot be changed.

At noon the next day, there was a feast.

Chang Feng came to the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.He is very strange.According to the rules, all those who participated in the sutra banquet should be Hanlin officials.

However, the people who participated in the Jingyan today included the elders of the three cabinets, the ministers of the six ministers, and the officials of the Imperial Academy.

How could Chang Feng think that Emperor Hongzhi reopened the big and small sutra banquets not to listen to the clamor of old scholars.

He wanted to express to his courtiers his philosophy of governing the country and his major political strategies in specific affairs through the feast.

Wang Hua, a Bachelor of Attendant, and his son Wang Shouren were also standing in the Xinuang Pavilion.

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Who is Wang Shouren?"

Wang Shouren knelt down: "Wang Shouren, a grassroots man, long live my emperor."

Emperor Hongzhi looked Wang Shouren up and down: "I see that you have a pretty face."

All the courtiers were puzzled, why did the emperor let a grassroots attend the sutra feast?Could it be that this young man is a young talent with great talent and learning?
Emperor Hongzhi saw the doubts of his courtiers.He explained: "This Mr. Wang Xiao is the son of Wang Hua, a lecturer. The night before yesterday, he handed me an unsigned memorial. He wants to teach me a lesson."

Wang Hua knelt down in a "thud": "The dog is arrogant, it is because I have not taught properly, and I am guilty. Please punish the emperor."

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "Young people have their own madness. They despise Kunlun and laugh at Luliang. After several years of sharpening their swords, they will show their sharpness someday."

"Wang Qing is innocent, why should I punish him?"

Emperor Hongzhi changed the subject: "I see, today we will start the feast with the memorial given to me by Wang Shouren."

"Wang Shouren, read your memorial to all the ministers."

Wang Shouren took the order, took the anonymous letter from Xiao Jing, and read it aloud.

Had it not been for the presence of Emperor Hongzhi, all the courtiers would have laughed so hard.

Can the poor people avoid rebellion by teaching self-denial and ritual?Heh, who do poor people know Confucius?In their eyes, Confucius is probably not as real as a small piece of wheat cake.

To teach benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith to the northern captives?Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately?Why not teach the evil wolf to eat fast and recite the Buddha's name, so as to cultivate his mind?

Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng spent most of their lives fighting the rebellion, defending the northern captives, and plowing the Jurchens, fighting with real swords and guns all the way.

The two old men finally couldn't help laughing.After a while, they knew they had lost their composure, and quickly restrained their smiles.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "What do you think of Wang Shouren's majestic essay?"

Wang Shudao: "Report to the emperor, the literary talent is brilliant, a piece of waste paper."

Ma Wensheng echoed: "Wang Butang's evaluation can be described as very reasonable."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Only Wang Shouren and Chang Feng are the only ones who are about my age in Jingyan today."

"Chang Feng, tell me."

Chang Feng knew that the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor had come again.

He cupped his hands and said: "I also think Wang Shouren's remarks are very naive." After saying this, he suddenly found out that the emperor called Wang Shouren to the Jingyan today as a target.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Tell me carefully, where is the childishness?"

Chang Feng said: "The people of the Han family are probably the most docile people in the universe. As long as they have a bite to eat, they will never rebel."

"Just now Wang Shouren mentioned the two largest rebellions in the Chenghua Dynasty - the Guangxi rebellion in the first year of Chenghua, and the Jingxiang refugee rebellion in the third year of Chenghua."

"The reason for the rebellion is definitely not what he said that the people did not restrain their selfish desires, and their hearts were blinded by profit."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Tell me, what are the reasons for these two rebellions?"

Chang Feng talked eloquently: "Let's talk about the Guangxi rebellion first. In the final analysis, the government squeezed the local chieftains in Guangxi, and the chieftains can only turn around and squeeze the Yao people."

"The people of the Yao people were forced to die. Can they not rebel?"

Chang Feng's words sounded like he was absolving the rebels from their crimes, which was a big treason.

But no one will refute him.Because Emperor Hongzhi's grandfather was a member of the Guangxi rebels!
If the Ming army hadn't won the victory at Duantengya, how could Empress Dowager Ji have been captured and sent to the palace?It's hard to say who is sitting on the dragon chair today.

Hongzhi Emperor Longyan Dayue: "Well said! Continue!"

Chang Feng said again: "As for the rebellion of Jingxiang refugees. It is because there are too many gentry and powerful gentry in Jingxiang area, and the land annexation is serious. The common people lost their land, so they can only be refugees."

"But what about the local government? They restrict the migration of refugees. To restrict migration, they have to provide food so that the refugees can live on their stomachs first."

"I have checked the archives of Jinyiwei. At that time, the prefects of Jingzhou and Xiangyang did not take out food, but steel knives!"

"The government will kill anyone who migrates. The common people have nothing to eat and cannot survive. The government does not allow them to leave their hometowns to seek a way of life. It is strange that there is no rebellion!"

Emperor Hongzhi took a look at the dragon case: "Well said! Everyone. In my opinion, the eleven rebellions, large and small, in various places in the Chenghua Dynasty, in the final analysis, are nothing more than four words 'officials force the people to rebel'!"

"Just now Chang Feng explained the real reason for the Jingxiang refugee rebellion - land annexation."

"I know that many of you here are big landlords. I tell you, I will not take away the land that is already in your hands."

"But if any of you dare to continue annexing common people's land, I will punish you severely!"

"You need to know that if you lose land, you will lose your people, and if you lose your people, you will lose your country!"

"The powerful gentry annexing the common people's land is tantamount to undermining the Ming Dynasty!"

"In the second year after I changed my reign, one of the biggest errands for the imperial court was to suppress land annexation!"

Chang Feng suddenly understood the reason why Emperor Hongzhi reopened the sutra banquet.

It turned out that it was to convey the great politics of governing the country through the feast!

Li Min, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out of the class: "Report to the emperor. It is the duty of the Ministry of Household Affairs to suppress land annexation. The minister must handle this matter well."

The emperor had the heart to restrain land annexation, and his courtiers also expressed their support.But it wasn't so easy to do.

The land annexation will really come to an end, and it will wait until 460 years later, when the five stars will come out of the East and benefit China.

What Emperor Hongzhi could do was to suppress it as much as possible.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Wang Shouren's second suggestion is to send Confucian scholars to the northern captives to teach them benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Chang Feng, what do you think?"

Chang Feng said: "Go back to the emperor. The puppet Yuan Dynasty stole the country for 98 years. They also respected Confucius and Mencius, respected Confucianism, and held imperial examinations. Their emperors and important officials also read the Four Books and Five Classics."

"However, in 98, have they reformed? No! They still treat the people of the Han family as talking animals and two-legged sheep!"

"Fortunately, Taizu raised the banner of rebellion, expelled the northern captives, and restored our Han family."

"It goes back 500 years. My Han family in the Central Plains has always treated foreigners with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust."

"For example, if they don't have clothes, we teach them how to make clothes; if they don't have salt tea, we give them salt tea."

"But what do they use to treat the Han family in the Central Plains? It's not benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust, but sabers, bows and arrows!"

"To treat the northern captives, the studies of Confucius, Mencius and Cheng Zhu are useless. There is only one word"

Ma Wensheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, interjected: "I know what word you said—strike!"

What Chang Feng said just now made Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng hear the news.

Chang Feng said: "Ma Butang has a good opinion, it is the word 'beat'!"

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Changqing said it well! The northern captives were brave and good at fighting, and they repeatedly fell into the bandits. If we learn from the Great Song Dynasty and just give in, then we will be greeted by the shame of Jingkang! It will be the cliff mountain thrown into the sea!"

"I admire Taizu, Taizong and Xianzong. Taizu made thirteen northern expeditions, and Taizong made five expeditions himself. The northern captives did not dare to invade the south."

"During the time of Xianzong, the national power was not as good as that of Taizu and Taizong. However, they still dispatched surprise soldiers several times to go deep into the hinterland of the grassland to surprise the northern captives. They won a short period of peace for the Nine Frontiers."

Ma Wensheng burst into tears, and shouted: "The emperor is wise!"

Ma Wensheng was one of the two commanders of several grassland raids in the Chenghua Dynasty, and the other was Wang Zhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Whether I treat the northern captives, the Jurchens in the northeast, or the Turfans in the northwest, it's all a strategy."

"That is, never learn from the Great Song Dynasty. Keep in mind Taizong's ancestral motto of 'no marriage, no compensation, no cedement of land, the emperor guards the gate'!"

Emperor Hongzhi conveyed a second strong political signal through this sutra feast.That is the tough attitude towards foreigners during the continuation of Xianzong.

A group of courtiers shouted: "My emperor is holy!"

Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said, "Chang Feng made a grand statement, but today's Jing Yan can be said to have come out on top. I can't help but reward."

"But in the past two years, I have promoted you exceptionally and rewarded you a lot. I can no longer over-promote you, for fear that my ministers will gossip and say that I only favor domestic slaves."

"I'm a poor emperor again, so I can't give you much money."

"Let's do this. I'm going to allow you to take part in this fall's Beizhili provincial examination. I really want to see if you can be admitted in the autumn with your talent and learning!"

Chang Feng has no fame as a scholar.Letting him take part in the provincial examination is already an exceptional reward beyond the system.

Chang Feng knelt down and kowtowed: "I thank the emperor Long En!"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wang Shouren again: "You have to continue reading your book. And you have to learn and apply it. You are only eighteen this year, so it doesn't matter if you make fun of me at the sutra feast."

"I hope that when you are 28 or 38 years old, you can become a pillar of the imperial court who can do things and do things!"

Wang Shouren kowtowed: "The grass people must live up to the emperor's expectations."

At this moment, there was a shout outside the door: "Report! The Hongling messenger urgently reports!"

If there is an urgent military situation on the Nine Frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, the guard will send a Hongling messenger to Beijing urgently. The urgent report can be sent directly to the palace without going through the Ministry of War.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Xuan!"

The Hongling messenger was supported by two big Han generals into the Xinuang Pavilion.

He held a small leather pouch in his hand.The leather bag is filled with feathers.

The so-called Yuxi is to insert pheasant feathers on military documents to indicate the emergency.

Pheasant feathers, pheasant feathers also.

The most important military situation requires three roots.

To make a digression, the story of Haiwa's three chicken feather letters has a historical heritage.

Xiao Jing presented Yuxi to Emperor Hongzhi.

After seeing it, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Everyone, the commander-in-chief of Datong reported that 'the little prince of the northern captive Tatar tribe led his troops to sneak into the vicinity of Datong. The camp stretches for more than 5 miles, with about [-] people, and he is about to invade the bandits'!"

"We were still discussing the matter of Beilu just now. Now Beilu has come to the door!"

In the history books, more than a dozen chieftains in Mongolia have been called little princes.The little prince mentioned by the Datong General Soldier was the leader of the Tatar tribe, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke.

Just after reading the Yu Xi handed over by the General Soldier of Datong, the little eunuch outside the door circulated: "Wang Yuanning, the chief guest officer of the Ministry of Rites, asks for an audience."

In the words of later generations, the Department of Host and Guest of the Ministry of Rites is in charge of diplomacy.The doctor's request to enter the palace must be due to important diplomatic matters.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Xuan!"

Not long after, Wang Langzhong entered Xinuang Pavilion: "Report to the emperor, the envoy of the Tatar Ministry presented the letter of credence. It said that the little prince of Tatar asked to pay tribute to Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily, "Pay tribute? Did anyone bring [-] soldiers and horses to pay tribute?"

Wang Langzhong added: "The little Tatar prince is rebellious! He actually called himself 'Great Khan of the Great Yuan' in the letter of credence!"

The little prince is famous on the grassland for his single-minded "anti-Ming and restoration".

Emperor Hongzhi said: "This is the end of today's sutra banquet. Move to the main hall. Xiao Jing, a member of the Xuan cabinet, a member of the Ministry of War, Wai Lang and above, a senior official of the five armies, and a governor of Jinyi Weinan Township, enter the main hall to discuss military affairs!"

In Jinyiwei, Beizhen supervises and supervises all officials, and investigates and deals with officials' illegal activities.

Nanzhen Fusi not only manages the military discipline of the original guard, but also manages foreign military affairs.

Nanzhen Fusi is located on the nine sides and the hinterland of the grassland, with countless internal responses and hidden stakes.

Liao Fanyong, the governor of Nanzhen, has been in charge of foreign military affairs since the time when Wantong was in charge of the guard.

After Emperor Hongzhi succeeded to the throne, Jinyiwei underwent a major reshuffle.Only Liao Fanyong was not abandoned.

Because Liao Fanyong has been in charge of foreign military affairs for 15 years, no one else can replace him.

Chang Feng was not included in the military discussion in the main hall.Back to Jinyiwei.

Fatty Xu saw that Chang Feng was dressed as a Confucian scholar, and said with a smile: "Master Chang looks elegant and learned in this attire. I still look like a prostitute in your attire. Is the sutra feast over so soon?"

Chang Feng said: "Yes. It seems that there is going to be a war in the north. The emperor ended the sutra feast ahead of time and summoned the generals to discuss military affairs."

Fatty Xu became interested: "Is there a war in the north? Fatty, can I participate in the battle?"

"My patriarch's best friend Kaiping Wang Chang Yuchun once said that a man with a three-foot sword can sweep hundreds of thousands of people across the world and protect mountains and rivers!"

　Although it is a bit late, it is still a day for [-]D updates.
