Transmigrating To The Ming Dynastys Imperial Examination - Chapter 315
1519 AD, the first year of Zhengde.
The emperor Hongzhi collapsed after 30 years of reign, and passed on to the eldest son Zhu Houzhao, who changed Yuan Zhengde. Empress Zhang is the empress dowager, the Yuan concubine Wang’s family is designated as the queen, and the son Zaiyin is established as the crown prince.
The second prince Zhu Houwei was named King Wei, and the princess Zhu Xiurong was named Princess Taikang.
Zhengde loves his younger brothers and sisters, and wants them to grow up in Beijing to be filial to his mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, so he built the Weiwang Mansion in the city, and asked Wei Wang to serve as a guide for the Western Academy of Guozijian. Princess Taikang’s horse, Zhao Sheng, was a translator from the Imperial College, and he also studied Western learning with King Wei.
In the new dynasty, the elders of the cabinet had to resign from office as usual, and the emperor had to retain one time as usual.
During the Hongzhi period, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the Hongzhi dynasty, voluntarily resigned due to his old age and returned to his hometown for retirement. The successor, Li Dongyang, was frail and sick, so he took this opportunity to resign firmly. The remaining two patrons, Xie Qian and Cheng Minzheng, are both in their seventies and have reached the age of his successor.
The new dynasty should also choose the new pavilion.
The four cabinets are full, and the three-person cabinet is also the norm. However, nowadays, not only is there a small number of cabinets, but the cabinet elders have been working hard for many years in the Hongzhi dynasty and lack energy, so they should choose one more.
Xie Qian, Cheng Minzheng, together with the officials of the Ministry of War, the Second Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Da Jiuqing, and the rank 5 and above pedagogical spokespersons jointly promoted the court, publicly recommended Cui Xie, Yang Ting and two Ren Bei as cabinets, and accompanied by Zhang Yuanzhen.
The emperor Zhengde pointed out that Cui Xie and Yang Tinghe entered the pavilion as bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.
When Teacher Li was first serving as the old pavilion, Cui Xie was gearing up to fight the Japanese, but at that time there were Huma looking at Xinjiang, and there were frequent disasters inside, so they didn’t have such conditions. Now he has become the old patron himself, and the emperor sitting on the throne is Zhu Houzhao, who is so happy and famous, what else does he have to worry about?
Of course, he didn’t look at it. This bear kid went to sea by himself!
If you are not in charge, you do not know that Chai Mi is expensive.
Older Cui Ge knows Zhu Houshao’s image in history better than all the ministers today. When everyone thought that another Taiping emperor was coming, they asked Xie Ying to quickly arrange Jin Yiwei’s patrol of the imperial city more carefully. Among the patrol personnel, there were many people who did not fear the imperial power.
Unexpectedly, the new emperor actually stayed in the palace steadily, and did not plan to visit the border with the uncles to see the Chagatai Khanate in the north. He seemed to have inherited his father’s calm temperament, diligent mentality, and continued to talk in early courts and economic feasts. Outside of the government, I only read the side newspapers every day, and the monthly renewal of “The Legend of the Heroes” and “The Wind and Clouds of the Frontier” are enough.
After a long time, Cui Xie finally dared to believe that the emperor with no good reputation in history had completely changed his temperament and was no longer happy.
He withdrew his energy from Zhu Houshao, and asked the prince to study in the cabinet.
The emperor Zhengde was educated by him since he was a child. He knew that he was different from other gentlemen. When Yuanzi handed over to him, he would not suffer as much as he did when he was a little boy. He immediately accepted the memorial and added him. With the title of Zhan Shifu, let him take charge of the affairs of the East Palace.
Cui Xie’s identity as the veteran of the three dynasties was added as the prince teacher of the three dynasties. Ju’anzhai’s imperial examination notes, model examination papers, and examination room experience collections are selling more and more. Together with the pressure cooker, canned food, elastic bands, rubber soles and tires that he guided and researched, it also adds a halo because of the name “Gu Lao”.
Not only the natives, but also foreign envoys and businessmen who come to China must carry these things back home.
North Korea has been in the dynasty year after year, and if you give a small tribute every year, you will cheekily ask for rewards. Even the emperor cant help but order them not to mention the three-year-old countries, Ryukyu, Annan, Champa, Siam, Mara Canada and other countries have come to Daming to pay tribute, begging to allow them to enter Hong Kong to buy new specialties.
The technical content of these things is actually not high, but rubber is rare. Only the two islands of Daming and Yunnan have rubber forests. The native Indians are far overseas. The Kuroshio in the Pacific is in the hands of Daming navy, which is difficult for other countries to obtain.
Where small countries rely on tribute, grant or trade to buy these treasures, and refuse to be included in the Ming Dynasty tribute system, it will inevitably move other thoughts.
In the second year of Zhengde, the Xihaidao stabman Ouchi Yixing, who had paid tribute to Ming Dynasty for many years, sent envoys to pay tribute in exchange for pressure cookers and cans produced in Mingguo. But when I went to Ningbo to meet the local guard eunuch, I encountered another group of sea ships claiming to be Japanese envoys, trying to compete with him for the position of envoy and defrauding him for a reward.
Xikaidao has paid tribute to Ming Dynasty since the twenty-fourth year of Hongzhi. Where did the wild envoys come from, dare to take the name of the Japanese envoys and grab their things!
Zheng Zong set up an angry rush, and scrambled with the opponent on the spot.
That messenger was the messenger of the Muromachi shogunate under the command of Hosokawa Takakuni, who entered China in the 22nd year of Hongji… Song Soqing who deceived the reward. The two quarreled in front of the **** stationed in front of the eunuch, and the government couldn’t tell the truth. The Nanjing defense simply hosted a banquet to entertain them. They were sent back to China after a meal.
When Zong set up on the ship, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. On the sea patrolled by the Da Ming Defense Thousand Households, he brazenly fought with the mission of Hosokawa Takakuni.
Gunshots on the sea flew, rolling rocks flew randomly, and flames rose from the boats. The local reserve Japanese commander Liu Jin and Qianhu Zhang Boring went to sea to suppress them. Long-diameter guns were used to smash most of the two fleets into the sea. They locked up the two envoys and escorted them into the capital for trial.
Zhengde, who spent a few days in the palace quietly and quietly as the Taiping emperor, came to the scene, revealing the essence of Wu Zong.
“The Japanese assassin, Ouchi Yoshiko, was a serious minister who had been awarded a gold medal by his father, who was Ashikaga Yoshitaka? And that Song Suqing was clearly a man, and he paid tribute as an envoy of Japan. He must be a fake envoy. Pirate!
“Ashikaga Idaka colluded with Chinese pirates, wanted to enter China as a disaster, and pursued and killed the real Japanese messenger in the Japanese sea. Where did I put the dignity of me and Da Ming? How can I tolerate this kind of giant bandit who has no king and no father. they!”
Slay Song Suqing, assemble the water army, and level the overseas giants Ashikaga Igaka, and teach these clowns who are trying to fool the big tomorrow’s son to know what the heavens are difficult to commit!
Wouldn’t Zhu Houzhao want to do it himself?
But don’t do it personally. He was drowned in official history. What if the inertia of history is so strong that he drowned in the Sea of Japan?
Cui Xie waited fearfully for a long time, and finally waited for the general Pingwa whom the emperor said-not the imperial conquest, not the general Zhu Shou, but the commander of Jin Yiwei Xie Ying and the 14th thousand households.
Wang Qiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, immediately objected: “The important affairs of the imperial court are not as easy as painting. You should choose a minister who is familiar with water warfare. How can Jinyiwei who is not accustomed to water go out to sea?”
As he said, he glanced at Old Cui Ge again-he was not the only one who was passing this look. Three Old Ge and six ministers, more than 20 pairs of eyes fell on Cui Xie’s face, forcing him to brainwash this comic book. The emperor persuaded to be serious.
Cui Xie chuckled in his heart.
Sending Jin Yiwei out to sea is nothing, even if he does not plan to go to the sea, even if he teaches well.
However, as the Cabinet Sansuke, he was still responsible for persuading the emperor to choose another general, Pingkou, who was good at navy. Even if you want to send Jin Yiwei over, you can, but Jin Yiwei can only watch the battle on behalf of the sky, and must be commanded by generals who understand naval battles, and Xie Ying and others must not be allowed to command the battle.
Although he has known Xie Ying for many years and knows that he is a man of both civil and military skills, he will never recommend inappropriate people to the battlefield because of his personal friendship!
Then he bowed deeply and said affectionately: “The minister sincerely knows that your majesty cherishes the weak people of the small overseas country and cannot bear the meaning of being harassed by pirates. Therefore, he ordered the navy to eliminate the pirates on his behalf to protect the people. Jin Yiwei went to sea only because he was the emperor’s close minister, and his majesty can be his eyes and ears, just like seeing the battle situation at sea.”
Zhengde nodded and said: “Yes, I actually don’t have to send Jinyiwei to sea. I know that my Ming sergeant is strong and good at fighting, and I will win the battle. I want to see myself…”
Cui Xie interrupted him loudly: “Even if your Majesty asks Jin Yiwei to go to sea, and everyone is not able to understand the writing and calligraphy, how can he make your Majesty like a sea? The minister can draw a few strokes, and I would like to go to sea with Jin Yiwei to paint for your majesty. At the scene of this naval battle, the ship overturned and the flesh and blood were flying.”
No, no, no, no cabinet scholar will play, Mr. Cui!
You cannot go as a cabinet minister, but you can resign. As long as he can satisfy his majesty’s wishes, the minister does not care about his identity.
Old Cui Ge didn’t care, but the emperor, court minister, Liubu, and Jiuqing were all concerned. The cabinet ministers from Gang Ting cannot resign just to let the emperor see a picture of the battlefield!
Sitting on the throne, the emperor Zhengde, who was about to release his natural nature, was scared back. He quickly broke off the careful thought of the imperial conquest, and even Jinyiwei was not sent. Honestly, the general recommended by the Ministry of War.
The two teachers, Cui and Yang, were very kind to him. They proposed to send a few painters along with the ship to draw the heroic figure of Shiping to kill the Japanese pirates on the front line, and then make a picture for him.
Before the ship left the port, the painters of Wensi Academy were busy making pictures. Although these painters have never seen the sea, they have seen Jin Yiwei painted by Cui Xie. They can also draw lifelike seascapes, with firecrackers, water waves, and sound and light special effects made by glass mirror reflections, which look very realistic.
It’s a pity that the emperor of Zhengde is in front of the painting, but his heart is thousands of miles away, and it is still difficult to solve his sorrow when watching the best painting.
Until the war report from the northwest area solved his regret.
Big win.
The remnants of Tatar fled north into the desert.
The local Hu people are attached to the clan, waiting for the court to send officials to govern.
Although Pingwa is tempting, the northwest area is even pointing to his emperor to point out strategy and people’s livelihood. How can he leave the Chinese people behind for the foreign people!
Zhengde comforted himself for a while, and ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the staff to inspect the frontiers, and ordered the soldiers to build concrete roads in the local area for rubber-tyred vehicles to enter and exit.
There are flat roads and rubber-wheeled vehicles, and that piece of land is really connected to Daming. Otherwise, the road will be blocked, and it will be difficult for people and animals to enter and exit, and the natives still live a poor old life in the nest. What kind of naturalization?
The emperor Zhengde stood up and drew a circle on the big map behind the Wenhua Palace with a brush.
From here to west, as long as it is a land where people can live, Damings etiquette and enlightenment will be passed on; from the southeast coast to the Indian continent, no pirates are allowed to cause chaos and kill good people.
What the emperor father did at the beginning, he will continue to do it.
Be an emperor who can make the people well-fed and no one dares to intrude.
In the four years of Zhengde, the Daming Navy finally captured Takazu Hosokawa, the bandit leader of the envoy who was envoy of Daming, and put down the shogunate of Ashikaga Yoshiharu. Because his state affairs have always been controlled by the shogunate, the country’s lord is not used to political affairs, so Masadek sent envoys on his behalf, and ordered the navy stationed in Mutsu to divide his forces to protect the islands to prevent rebellious officials from rebelling.
This year, Muyingjeon University Scholar Cui Xie directed the steam engine jointly developed by Gezhisheng and craftsmen in Xixueguan and was finally perfected. It can be loaded on the Daifuku boat so that the boat does not need to rely on wind, only the paddle wheels and spirals on both sides of the hull. The power of pulp moves forward.
With this ship that is not afraid of changes in wind direction and can change course at will on its own strength, not many years later, the Daming Sea Route has been sorted out. All merchant ships, naval ships, and passenger ships are under the supervision of navy, and there is no more pirates. Room. Coastal cities have gradually opened ports to facilitate the exchanges of envoys and merchants from all over the world. The rules on the prohibition of the sea have gradually loosened, and the old people on the southeast coast that have grown by smuggling have gradually withered.
The income from navigation really entered the treasury from the Shibosi Division. The treasury was abundance and the people became more prosperous. Only then did the court have more money to raise soldiers, settle the people, repair bridges and pave roads, and repair dams to block water.
Ten years later, Cui Xie reported back to his hometown. After returning home, he quietly took the commander Jin Yiwei, who had already given official duties, to travel overseas. Since then, there has been no news.
Although Mr. Cui is gone, Zhengde no longer has the urge to leave the country and travel.
Such a large country and such a large sea area requires his diligence as a monarch, so where can he dare to relax? Gentlemen are getting old, and he is in his prime, it is time for him to support the world and build a better world for future generations.
The author has something to say: Im afraid that Im afraid of writing badly about historical figures and destroying the characters image, so Wang Shouren will not write about them.
This is the end of the extra episode, and this article is officially over. Thank you very much for your company for more than a year.
I have checked too much information in the imperial examination, and it is very tiring. I will take a break and write a more leisurely ancient dress farming article in the next book, which is called “Being a Celebrity in Ancient Times”. How about?
