Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 344 Sending important ministers to guard Yunnan Gritting Fair Examiner
Sending important officials to guard Yunnan is actually a matter of great importance.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Daming has been managing Yunnan with great care.There is even an extremely rare Yuxun Gui Shi Zhen Yunnan.

In modern times, the price Daming paid for Yunnan was even more unimaginable.

Luchuan was conquered three times, and each time the troops were dispatched more than [-].

The last time, the largest scale of troops was used, which indirectly led to the change of the civil fort.

If there hadn't been this third conquest of Luchuan, Beijing Jingying would have tens of thousands of elite fighters, and Oala might not be able to win a complete victory in Shanxi.

Even Zhu Qizhen may not be able to conquer in person, it is enough for Wang Ji to lead the army.

In this way, the entire historical trend will be very different from the present.

The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more speechless he became, so he asked everyone: "Who do you think should guard Yunnan?"

The ministers had discussed it long before they came, and He Wenyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, replied: "Yunnan has just passed through the Luchuan Rebellion, and the situation is unstable, so we need to send important officials to guard it.

The ministers thought that two important ministers, one civil and one military, should be sent to Yunnan.

Uncle Ning Yuan was appointed as Li, and he had fought in Jingnan since Emperor Taizong. He had experienced hundreds of battles, was proficient in military affairs, matured and prudent, and defended well. The ministers thought that he could be appointed as the general officer of Yunnan. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded. Ren Li is indeed a good candidate. Not only is he lacking in talent and experience, but what is even more rare is that he is always scrupulous in following the law, unlike other nobles who are greedy and tyrannical.

Since he wanted to guard Yunnan on behalf of Mu Cong for more than ten years, he must choose someone with good moral character to do it, and not leave a mess for Mu Cong.

Zhu Qiyu was even more curious about which civil servant the ministers wanted to send to Yunnan.Anyway, Zhu Qiyu himself couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

It's no wonder that the selection of ministers by the imperial court must be recommended by the imperial court.If the emperor is allowed to choose at will, then the emperor himself will find it difficult.

He Wenyuan saw that the emperor had no objection, so he continued: "I think Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, is the most suitable candidate for civil servants guarding Yunnan."

"what?"

Zhu Qiyu was drinking tea, when he heard this suddenly, he choked and choked, lying on the tea table and coughing uncontrollably.

These ministers are really good at playing, thanks to their thinking.

As the right servant of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian served as the governor of Shanxi for 19 years.Now you are going to let him guard Yunnan as Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.This is too bullying, right?
The ministers didn't expect the emperor's reaction to be so big, so He Wenyuan could only continue to explain with a low eyebrow: "Your Majesty wants to use troops against Jiaozhi, but to attack Jiaozhi, there are two directions for sending troops.

One way is to send troops from Guangxi, and the other way is to send troops from Yunnan.The two-way attack was the strategy the imperial court had been adopting during the previous conquest of Jiaozhi.

Before suppressing the civil uprising in the southeast, the imperial court sent out Ministers of the Ministry of Industry and Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment.

For such a major military operation to regain Cochin, it is not an exaggeration to send a minister to sit in the town. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded, this seems to make sense.To put down the civil uprising in the southeast, the imperial court sent two ministers, Shi Pu and Jin Lian.This time to regain Jiaozhi, it makes sense to send the Minister of the Ministry of War first.

The most important thing is that it is indeed not appropriate to house too many of the emperor's cronies in Nanjing, and it is time to send some of them to other places.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu gave a conclusion: "Ning Yuan Bo Renli is the military officer of Yunnan, and Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou military affairs.

Xiang Wenyao, the left servant of the Nanjing Ministry of War, is the governor of Yunnan; Zheng Hong, Marquis of Wu'an, is the deputy commander-in-chief of Yunnan; Xue Shen, Marquis of Yangwu, is the deputy commander-in-chief of Yunnan.

Zhu Yi, the Duke of Cheng, was the commander-in-chief of Guangxi; Xue Huan, the captain of the son-in-law, was the deputy commander-in-chief of the left in Guangxi; Chen Jing, Marquis of Taining, was the deputy commander-in-chief of the right in Guangxi. "

The ministers were also taken aback when they heard this.It turned out that the emperor was more radical than the ministers, and a considerable number of the nobles who had been sent to Nanjing before were transferred to Yunnan and Guangxi.

In this way, Yu Qian, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou military affairs, and Wang Ao, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing who had sent the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi before, will be responsible for the conquest of Jiaozhi in the future.

If these people can successfully win Cochin, that's great.

If Jiaozhi cannot be won and the battle is lost, another batch of civil servants and generals will be sent there.

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "Then Xu Qi, the servant of the Nanjing Ministry of War, will be promoted to Shangshu, in charge of the reform of Nanjing's Beijing camp. In addition, Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong will guard Nanjing and take charge of the military governor's mansion. What do you think?"

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

Xu Qi and Xu Chengzong belonged to the neutral ministers, and had no obvious relationship with the emperor or the Supreme Emperor.

Beijing has become a mess, so let Nanjing live in peace.

The matter in the south has been discussed, and the next step is this test.

Contrary to Zhu Qiyu's expectation, the ministers took the initiative to save face this time.Everyone unanimously elected Huang Pu and He Yi as the examiners of the Ministry of Rites Examination.

This proposal made Zhu Qiyu feel unconfident, and asked Chen Xun weakly: "Is this really possible?"

Chen Xun said with a smile: "The examiner can do it, no problem."

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask Chen Xun curiously.

Chen Xun had no choice but to explain: "In the first year of Zhengtong, the examiners were Wang Zhi, a minister of Shaozhan and a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and Chen Xun, a scholar of the Imperial Academy.

So as long as you are a bachelor, you are eligible to serve as an examiner for the examination.

Huang Pu is a bachelor of Zuochunfang University, and He Yi is a bachelor of Youchunfang University. Letting them serve as examiners of the general examination is also to show the examinees that His Majesty, regardless of background or qualifications, is determined to be talented and simple. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded again, expressing his acquiescence.

But all good things are not for nothing.

To take this benefit, I must pay something.

Politics is a constant exchange of interests.

Chen Xun and the others were also certain that the emperor in front of him was particularly fond of his cronies, and would try their best to pave the way for them whenever they had the opportunity.

Zhu Qiyu first won the palace examination chief examiner for Wang Wen, and now he recognized the general examination examiner for Huang Pu and He Yi.

After being mentally prepared to pay a huge price, Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Xun, waiting anxiously for Chen Xun to propose conditions.

Then Chen Xun didn't respond, but instead talked about welcoming the driver.This time, Huang Pu and He Yi presided over the general examination, and Wang Wen and He Wenyuan presided over the palace examination.

And Chen Xun and Zhou Chen were in charge of going to Datong to meet the Supreme Emperor, and then accompanied Zhu Qizhen to Beijing.

The process has basically been decided, and what Zhu Qizhen has to pay is to condemn himself and get the title of Taishang, and the rest is all preferential treatment conditions.

Chen Xun's words were gentle, and he went around without a trace. Zhu Qiyu listened carefully for a long time, and when he felt a little headache, he finally learned the true intention of Chen Xun from it.

Zhu Qiyu finally figured it out, the cabinet ministers represented by Chen Xun gave up such a large benefit, hoping that they would not attack the Supreme Emperor, but should be respectful and courteous, at least on the surface, they should be respectful, humble and harmonious.

In private, at least no personal injury can be done, and the Supreme Emperor's family should live in peace.

To be honest, this is really a bit difficult to do.

For Zhu Qiyu, the first general examination and palace examination of the Jingtai Dynasty were of great significance.For Huang Pu and He Yi, once they become the examiners of the general examination, theoretically speaking, they are also one of the teachers of all Jinshi in this session, which will definitely be a great help to their future career.

And being an examiner is not a technical job, it doesn't matter who you choose to be the examiner.The chief examiner of the palace examination must be an important minister with profound qualifications, but the examiner of the general examination, as long as he is a bachelor, can barely pass.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Huang Pu and He Yi, and in the end he gritted his teeth and admitted it.
