Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 101 Ye Sheng Discusses the Military of the Former Dynasty and Xu Heng Discusses Generals of the Present Dynasty

Seeing that the emperor came up and asked about military affairs, the five Zhongshu Sheren made eye contact with each other, but they were unwilling to speak first.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to call names: "Yuzhong, you are also in charge of military affairs, so you can talk about it first."

Seeing that he was named by the emperor, Ye Sheng was both nervous and excited.

Ten years of hard work, selling goods to the emperor's house is the dream of most scholars.

Ye Sheng is talented and intelligent, with a strong memory for his extensive knowledge. He became famous at an early age, and his writing style is astonishing. He became a Jinshi at the age of 25, but it happened that Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years.

Now I finally got my wish, sat in front of the emperor successfully, and had the opportunity to countermeasures before the emperor.

Ye Sheng recalled He Yi's previous discussion on the emperor's political preferences: "The emperor extremely disliked the governance philosophy of Sanyang, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. And Sima Zhao who has no shame.

The dynasty that the emperor admired most was the Han Dynasty, and the most respected emperors were Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaoxuan.

The most coveted generals of the emperor were Han Xin and Warring States.

The most dreamy combination of civil servants in the emperor's heart is Guan Zhong, Zhang Yi and Guo Jia.One is a genius for governing the country, the other is a myth of diplomacy, and the other is a strategic genius with absolute loyalty.

The most distressing thing for the emperor now is that he doesn't have a handsome talent who can take the lead.The emperor wanted a Han Xin, and he was going crazy thinking about it. "

Knowing the likes and dislikes of the emperor, it is natural to do what he likes. Thinking of this, Ye Sheng organized his words and replied cautiously:

"Your Majesty, when the Marquis of Xing'an was guarding Shaanxi, he once chatted with Yu Shi Zhang Wenchang about the current generals.

The Marquis of Xing'an said this: Looking at it from the perspective of Heng, none of the generals today can be a major event in the court. "

When Zhu Qiyu heard the words, he suddenly regained his spirits. It turned out that Xu Heng, the Marquis of Xing'an, also learned from Cao Mengde, and once cooked wine and talked about heroes in the world.

So Zhu Qiyu leaned forward and listened more carefully.

I only heard Ye Sheng continue to say:

"The censor Zhang then asked: How about the current President Rong Cheng?
The Marquis of Xing'an said to him: "The baby's ears that the captives look at are strong."

Looking at it today, the words of the Marquis of Xing'an really came true. In the battle of Yao'erling, Duke Cheng lost [-] soldiers, and almost all the elite cavalry brought out by the Supreme Emperor were lost. Thinking about it until now, it makes people sigh. Too late to regret. "

When everyone heard the words, they sighed again and again, and the atmosphere became depressed.

Ye Sheng continued: "Zhang Yushi also cited the famous generals of the time and the two sides to ask him. The Marquis of Xing'an said to him: How did he face a great enemy? He got his name because of his trivialities."

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously after hearing the words: "Who are the two generals listed by Zhang Yushi?"

Ye Sheng hesitated for a moment before replying: "One is Yang Hong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and the other is not sure who it is."

Zhu Qiyu almost rolled his eyes when he heard that, this Marquis of Xing'an is really accurate in seeing people.

Ye Sheng continued: "

Zhang Yushi asked again: "It must be a public."

The Marquis of Xing'an said to him, "I am not that person."

Zhang Yushi asked, "but for whom?"

The Marquis of Xing'an said to him: "There is no such thing as the British Duke, who has repeatedly commanded soldiers, and is majestic and victorious. If he dares to commit crimes, he can go to the water and fire." "

Everyone's expressions became even uglier when they heard this, especially Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong, who had escaped from Tumubao, almost burst into tears:
In the end, the loyal generals did not go to the water and fire bravely under the command of the British Duke, but went to civil engineering under the leadership of the Supreme Emperor.

After a while, Zhu Qiyu praised: "If Cao Mengde's 'Heroes in the world, only the emperor and Cao Er', it can be regarded as a prophecy.

The Marquis of Xing'an talked about the current generals, and it can really be regarded as a three-language prophecy.

Yu Zhong is also really a talent, he is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, Aiqing can make some fresh remarks when I ask casually, which makes me suddenly enlightened.

It can be seen from Aiqing's words that the Marquis of Xing'an is also a general with a good sense of people.Then Aiqing, how should I treat Marquis Xing'an? "

Ye Sheng replied: "In the first year of Xuande, the Marquis of Xing'an was still an earl at that time. He went to Jiaozhi as the right deputy general. Because of the defeat, he was deprived of his title and stayed at home for ten years. It was not until the emperor succeeded to the throne that he regained his title. .

During this period, it was the stage when Sanyang was in power, and in the southeast and northwest of Daming, the stage of frantically humiliating the country.The Marquis of Xing'an had great ambitions in his chest, but he could not realize them.

Taking his minister's selfishness into consideration, Marquis Xing'an hated San Yang.

During the orthodox years, the Marquis of Xing'an managed to accumulate military merits, and was promoted from count to marquis. When he was about to make contributions, the court suffered a civil defeat, so that the country was in danger of subjugation.

The Marquis of Xing'an had always been concerned about the country and the people, so he was naturally resentful and unwilling, so he took the initiative to ask to return to Beijing to kill the enemy. "

Ye Sheng has extensive knowledge and memorization, and has been in the Ministry of War for five years. Naturally, he is familiar with military matters and responds fluently.

Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again, and Ye Sheng continued: "The Marquis of Xing'an has great trust in His Majesty, and he must be grateful to His Majesty for allowing him to lead the elite frontier army to Beijing, so that he has the opportunity to kill the enemy and serve the country and make meritorious deeds.

Some people in the world love money, some love power, some love fame, and some love profit.

From the perspective of his ministers, the Marquis of Xing'an does not love money and is not greedy for power.What it pursues is to kill the enemy and serve the country, and to make meritorious deeds.

Therefore, I believe that what can impress the Marquis of Xing'an is the military power, the famous title, the opportunity to make meritorious service, and the trust of Emperor Gao who ordered Han Xin to directly serve as the general.

In short, His Majesty only needs to treat him as a national scholar, and the Marquis of Xing'an will be able to repay His Majesty with a national scholar. "

What Ye Sheng meant was: "The hereditary reward alone is not enough, and the promise of the Duke of the State is also a little weak."

Do not use suspicious people, and do not doubt employing people.Marquis Xing'an was over 50 years old, and he didn't have time to spend time with the emperor.

Simply like how Emperor Gao treated Han Xin, just fill it up at once. '

Zhu Qiyu nodded, indicating that he understood.My original intention was to win over the Marquis of Xing'an with the title of duke of the state and the hereditary succession of titles.As for the army, it is enough to give the Marquis of Xing'an [-] to [-].

But after Ye Sheng's performance, Zhu Qiyu also opened up a new way of thinking, and his 3 to [-] people are indeed a bit small.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu looked around at the crowd, feeling guilty: These people in front of them are almost all Jinshi in their 20s, and they all know everything well and speak well.Simply comparing knowledge and brains, ten of them plus one is not enough for others to fight with one hand.

Talk about any topic casually, and people can answer you fluently, and the words are clear and logical.What kind of animals are these people? No wonder the emperor of Ming Dynasty was always embarrassed by these ministers.

With a long sigh, Zhu Qiyu asked other people to speak, and everyone brainstormed together.

……

However, it is said that Huang Pu took the Daming Mission out of Beijing for several days, along the route of Juyongguan, Huailai, and Xuanfu, and went straight to the station of the [-] troops of the Ara Zhiyuan.

Along the way, passing through Juyongguan and Xuanfu, both Luo Tong and Yang Hong entertained the missions in person.But Huang Pu's attitude towards the two is completely different.

At Juyongguan, Luo Tong received an edict to appoint himself as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the mission arrived later.

After welcoming the mission to the gate, Luo Tong warmly greeted Huang Pu, and then offered several boxes of heartfelt condolences to the mission.

Huang Pu waved his hand and declined, "Young Minister Luo, you are being polite. The officials have always been honest and self-confident, so there is no need for these foreign things."

Luo Tong said with a smile: "Chengji has a great future, and I dare not delay your clear name. It's just that the brothers in the mission are busy, if I don't let me express my heart, it will be really uncomfortable. You see, let's be accommodating." , Chengji."

Although Huang Pu himself is very clean and honest, he is not pedantic and ignorant of flexibility.Immediately, he looked at Yue Qian, the Commander of Jin Yiwei who accompanied him, and said, "Since Minister Luo is so generous with the gift, please ask Commander Yue to accept it for the brothers of the mission, and distribute it to everyone in a while."

After Luo Tong delivered the gift, he dragged Huang Pu into the back hall, and humbly preached: "Brother Yu is originally a member of the Ministry of War, why did your majesty suddenly order me to be promoted to be a servant of the Ministry of War? Please also invite Brother Chengji Give me one or two pointers, brother Yu will remember the kindness of brother virtuous, and dare not forget."

Huang Pu smiled and said: "How dare you? The official was sent out just after being promoted by His Majesty. Even His Majesty's appointment of Luo Shilang was issued after the official left Beijing.

I think the postmen who passed the decree moved faster than the mission, so His Majesty's appointment came before us.

However, the following official's experience in Beijing a few days ago can be briefly analyzed for Luo Shilang. "

Luo Tong hurriedly bowed his hands in thanks, and then listened carefully.
