Daming heir

Ying Tiancheng in early summer always looks like a complicated Jiangnan girl.

It still has the gentleness of spring, but also the enthusiasm of summer.

When the light curtain at dawn was pulled up from under the treetops of the Shenlie Mountain in the east of the city, the people sweeping the land of the Siyamen in the east city had quietly retreated, and the pro-army, imperial army, Beijing army and Wucheng soldiers on duty Ma Si's officers and soldiers also entered the field one after another.

The general administration secretary of the Dajiuqing Yamen, the eighth-rank magistrate, the young Xinke Xinxue Jinshi and the first degree, Bai Yuxiu, is hurrying with a dozen memorial documents in his arms, heading forward from Baihu Street with his head bowed, and turning to the back of West Chang'an Street Turn northeast again.

With the proof of the oriole patching the green robe, the imperial guards guarding in front of the West Chang'an Gate ignored this young official who was like a cow in Yingtian City.

Every day at dawn in the empire, the chief envoy, Si Yamen, would send the memorials collected from all the worlds to the palace for review by the emperor and prince.

But now, there is an additional Wenyuan Pavilion review.

Walking in the Wenhua Palace, Xie Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, doesn't like people who are late, and the memorials of the general government envoy Si Yamen need to be placed in the order of Jiubian, Nanjiang, Waguo, Taisun Xingzai, various vassals, and various ways. On the table of Bachelor Xie who has not yet come.

Bai Yuxiu lowered her head and hugged the memorial in her arms, and walked into the West Chang'an Gate, repeatedly recalling Xie Jin's habits of sitting in Wenyuan Pavilion in her head.

Even though Bai Yuxiu has been serving as the General Secretary for several months, except for holidays, it can be said that today's events will be repeated every day.But he was still telling himself not to do anything wrong.

There have been rumors in Sili these days.

Those colleagues who are usually on good terms with me, now they don't greet me in the upper and lower yamen, even my superior, the general manager of the Si Yamen, the seventh-rank experience officer, treats me with much less enthusiasm than in the past .

On the contrary, in the past, he had rarely seen the general manager of the fourth rank, and recently he seemed to have bumped into him several times by accident.

They all belong to the same yamen, and there is a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Naturally, Bai Yuxiu couldn't avoid being taught the ways of the officialdom several times by the two adults.

So Bai Xiuyu took the time to go to the Book and Newspaper Office at the foot of the east wall after going down to the office.

In the end, Bai Yuxiu came to a conclusion that was not very clear, but had a great possibility.

I am going to be promoted.

After Guanzheng Nianzai, I entered the Tongzhengshi Yamen. Although it is not as powerful as the six departments and five temples outside, what I come into contact with every day is what is happening in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The trend of local news and the direction of government orders above the court are all clear to the general and envoy.

I had been an official in charge of administration and envoy of Si Yamen for less than half a year, when news came out that I was going to be promoted.

At first, Bai Yuxiu was a little surprised, but when he found time to go to the book and newspaper office, he saw a man in green robe, or even a green robe, walking into the book and newspaper office, and then he realized it.

Unknowingly, the imperial court now has an extra unspoken rule in the selection of officials.

Scholars of mind learning, naturally high-ranking.

It is said that Gao Yangzhi, the chief envoy of Jiaozhi Road, is already gathering leading officials of Jiaozhi Road, preparing to go up to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to go down to all the roads in the world, so that Jiaozhi Road can select officials and examine government affairs.

If the Bureau of Books and Newspapers is the birthplace of Daming Mind Learning, Xie Xueshi is the guider of Daming Mind Learning.

Then, as the youngest and most popular uncle in the empire, Gao Yangzhi, a feudal official, is the object of countless mind-learning scholars to look up to.

Today's Gao Yangzhi, just like his name, makes people look up to Zhizhi.

Holding the memorial document in her arms, Bai Yuxiu passed through the Chengtian Gate, crossed the Duan Gate, and entered behind the Meridian Gate.

Turn east and you will arrive at Wenyuan Pavilion.

The palace is always so quiet, looking at the three halls that are close at hand but seem far away in the sky, everyone will subconsciously slow down and lower their footsteps.

Bai Yuxiu's walking slowed down, and she even raised her legs a few times to shake off her robes, making her body look more calm.

During the movement, Bai Yuxiu looked at the Fengtian Temple on the left.

If Gao Xuechang returns to the imperial court by himself, he will probably meet His Majesty in the Fengtian Hall.But I don't know myself, when will I be able to walk into Fengtian Hall more leisurely.

Bai Yuxiu couldn't help thinking about the change in attitudes of the various people in the office of the general secretary.

Both the left and right Tongzheng of the fourth rank had met with him by mistake.

Thinking about it, I probably want to change directly from a green robe to a green robe.

Qingpao, you can stand on the platform at the entrance of Fengtian Hall and hear the court proceedings in the hall.It's far from being compared to the green-robed official who can only stretch his neck but can't see where the palace door is open under the many steps in front of Fengtian Hall.

I must be able to wear the green robe this time.

Another name for the blowfly is really confusing.

"But which girl are you thinking about?"

A slightly joking voice entered Bai Yuxiu's ears, but it made hairs stand on his back suddenly.

Bai Yuxiu raised her head, and saw Xie Jin, a Hanlin scholar walking in the Wenhua Palace, who had appeared before her eyes at some point.

No.

I don't know when, I have already entered Wenyuan Pavilion.

A trace of embarrassment and panic appeared on Bai Yuxiu's face, and even with her arms in her arms, there was never even a mess of memorials and documents from the Tongzheng Shiyamen all the way to Wenyuan Pavilion, and several copies were staggered.

"Go... go down..."

Xie Jin put his hands in his sleeves, looked at the rising star in front of him with a smile, pulled out his palm, flicked out his fingers, moved the memorial documents in Bai Yuxiu's arms neatly, and said with a light smile: "It's not that there are several meritorious generals. Find your family to say kiss?"

Xie Jin seemed to say something casually, then turned and walked to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Bai Yuxiu, who was lagging behind, trembled, frowned, and rushed to catch up: "The officials have already declined the kindness of those people. I think, on the west side...over there... it's just that the officials' parents are not here. God, so this marriage..."

Xie Jin was already sitting in the side hall of Wenyuan Pavilion at this time, looking at the young man with his head down holding the memorial document, but the conversation changed again: "You don't have to be nervous, today is just a little early for me. Something Put it all down first, and then talk."

Bai Yuxiu nodded dully, and carefully placed the memorial documents in her arms on the short table in Xie Jin's hand, and copied the collected memorial documents from top to bottom. The appearance also used different colors. Wrapped in silk cloth, it is easy to distinguish things.

After putting down her things, Bai Yuxiu stood aside with her hands solemnly.

Xie Jin was not in a hurry to read these memorials today, and then sort out which ones should be sent to His Majesty and which ones should be sent to the Prince.

Instead, he tapped his fingers and looked up at Bai Yuxiu: "It's the girl from that ordinary family in West City, right?"

Bai Yuxiu nodded: "Mr. Hui, it's her."

"Hahaha." Xie Jin laughed twice, with generosity in his eyes: "I called you sir, do you want me to propose marriage for you?"

Bai Yuxiu paused for a moment, then nodded again and said: "The student's family is poor, he is an official, he knows how deep he is, and he dare not cling to the meritorious and powerful, but he wants to give up all his ambitions. Why don't you marry someone who is in love with you?" A virtuous and virtuous woman as a wife should have good results in the student's home and in the official career of the student."

Xie Jin hummed, and there was more praise and appreciation in his eyes: "If you can think this way, it makes sense. When you go back to the marriage proposal, the husband will go on behalf of your parents, but the bride price can't be given by the husband. My family has no money. , you are not my son."

Xie Jin is very straightforward and not secretive.

When Bai Yuxiu heard this, she couldn't help laughing a few times, and then her face showed excitement.

Xie Jin glanced at the student, turned around and took the top one of the memorial documents, as if he said casually: "The affairs of the General Administration Department can be sorted out in the next few days. It's almost settled."

After finishing the chanting, Xie Jin bowed his head to review the summary of the memorial related to the military affairs of the Nine Frontiers.

But the audience Bai Yuxiu frowned, her heart was beating wildly, and her hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

He tried his best not to show his excitement, but he still couldn't control his voice and said in a low voice, "The head of the Department of Examination and Purification of Officials was transferred to the Henan Provincial Superintendent."

After asking, Bai Yuxiu immediately bowed and lowered her head.

"The student made a mistake and made a slip of the tongue."

Xie Jin sighed softly, put down the memorial in his hand, and turned to look at the young student: "Retelling the functions of the anthology and merit examination."

Bai Yuxiu was puzzled, but still answered honestly: "Wenxuan Division is in charge of the relocation of officials' ranks, and equalization of civil law. Kaogong Division is in charge of the discussion and punishment of civil officials, and Jingcha and Daji are in charge of their administrative orders. "

After answering, Bai Yuxiu's face gradually turned serious.

The Department of Wenxuan is in charge of the promotion plan of officials, and the Department of Examination is in charge of the summary of officials' performance evaluation.

The two can be said to subdivide the functions of the Ministry of Officials.

Regardless of Wenxuan or Kaogong, although they are only the official ranks of the sixth grade, even the officials, ministers, and five temple ministers in Yingtian City dare not easily turn against each other.

Xie Jin snorted: "The head of the Wenxuan Department was transferred to the Kaogong Department, so the post of the head of the Wenxuan Department became vacant."

Sir, this is already in front of his own face, he has admitted that he will be promoted to the post of head of the Anthology Department of the Ministry of Officials.

Although they are also green-robed officials, Bai Yuxiu never imagined that after the end of her political observation period, she would be able to take charge of the Ministry of Officials' Literature Selection Department in less than half a year.

Bai Yuxiu couldn't help being a little hesitant, and said in a low voice: "Sir, the students are too late to learn how to interpret their talents. They have only been studying politics for a long time, and they are not yet old enough to be an official, so they have to take on this important position and shoulder important responsibilities. The students are panicked."

Xie Jin didn't give Bai Yuxiu a chance to refuse, but explained in a deep voice: "Have you heard all the rumors in the court recently?"

"Sir, are you talking about the affairs of Fangbo Gao?"

Xie Jin nodded: "Gao Yangzhi is in Jiaozhi Road. He has done a good job in the past two years. It can be said that the government is sound and the people are harmonious, the officials are clear and bright, and the achievements are outstanding. The achievements of several years are enough to compare with the previous decades of pacification and comfort of the newly conquered land. labor.

Examination of public law is very good, and the current achievements of Jiaozhi Dao cannot be separated from the appearance of examination of public law.Gao Yangzhi is about to finish summarizing this method now, and he will play it from the Jiaozhi Road to Beijing in a few days, and at that time there must be a court discussion at the court. "

Ever since she became an official, Bai Yuxiu brought memorials to Wenyuan Pavilion from the Minister of General Affairs every day, knowing the government orders and affairs in the court, but never had the opportunity to go in-depth.

Hearing such convincing news at this moment, naturally there was a storm in his heart.

Bai Yuxiu cupped her hands and said in a low voice: "Sir, do you want the students to be in the Ministry of Officials to support Senior Senior's invitation?"

It is a very good choice to use the Wenxuan Division to suppress possible opposition from the DPRK and China.

Bai Yuxiu felt that she probably guessed her husband's plan.

However, in Wenyuan Pavilion, there was a chuckle of knowing Jin.

When Bai Yuxiu looked at Xie Jin with a puzzled face, Jian Jin shook his head with a smile on his face.

"Support? No."

Xie Jin shook his robe, chopped it with his palms and flattened it: "The examination of public law is just one or two court discussions, and in the end, no matter what, he will cross his toes, practice the law in the Ming Dynasty, and govern the yamen of all ministries in the court."

The eyelids of the young Bai Yuxiu, who was about to take office in the Ministry of Officials, twitched suddenly: "Then Mr. wants the students to go to the Department of Literature and Selection..."

Xie Jin immediately frowned, and looked at Bai Yuxiu: "This is Shangyi, the lack of officials in the court, so you and I can teach and accept privately?"

"Students know their mistakes."

Xie Jin sighed softly: "The reason why I asked you to go to the Wenxuan Department is for the selection of officials inside and outside the court after my court has decided to examine the public law. The Ming Dynasty flourished for thousands of years."

It is already an unspoken rule of the imperial court to learn from the heart.

To use a Jinshi with a heart like myself to serve as the Department of Literature Selection of the Ministry of Officials, it is natural to choose a good talent with a heart.

Bai Yuxiu finally came to his senses, what was the reason for going to the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials.

And he also suddenly came to his senses, why did the husband reveal at the beginning that he didn't want to see his attitude of marrying the daughter of the meritorious general's family.

Bai Yuxiu immediately waved her sleeves and clasped her fists: "Students will definitely live up to the grace of the saints, and they will definitely live up to the teacher's teaching."

Xie Jin waved his hand, and drew a few circles on the nine-sided memorial.

Then he said softly: "The Ming Dynasty has more than [-] officials, up and down. Although it is not as redundant as the Song Dynasty, the officialdom is stacked. But in the future, how many new officials will the court add? The number of Jinshi in the two lists recently is nearly Qian, are all subjects awarded officials?
Examination of public law is imperative, and the anthology department must take up the burden of eliminating old and new ones, so that my Daming can always be young and strong, and not old and decayed. "

Bai Yuxiu nodded: "Students save it."

Xie Jin hummed. He never talks nonsense when he teaches students, and it is enough to explain clearly. As for whether they can understand it or not, it all depends on the students' own abilities.

The so-called master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual, it's nothing more than that.

Fortunately, Bai Yuxiu is a good student.

Otherwise, he would not be able to be among the already large number of Jinxue Jinshi, he would be recommended by himself to the emperor's grandson, and then he would be appointed as the head of the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials.

After discussing these other trivial matters, Xie Jin was finally able to calm down and review the summary of the memorial.

Bai Yuxiu stood aside, studying ink for him, and sorting out the reviewed memorials.

After the summary of the Nine Sides Memorial was finished, Bai Yuxiu sent it outside Wenyuan Pavilion.Outside, someone will take the summary of these circled memorials and send them outside.In the end, the boxes of state affairs memorials will be sent to the emperor and the prince respectively.

And often, ninety-nine percent of things are sent to the prince.

Very few things are sent to the emperor, and a copy is also sent to the crown prince at the same time.

This is the daily political operation process of Daming today.

Time was in such a hurry, let Xie Jin see the last part, the general description of the affairs of the world.

After reviewing for a while.

Xie Jin shook his shoulders and couldn't help but let out a low drink.

Bai Yuxiu, who just came back from the outside, showed doubts, stepped forward and said, "Sir, what happened?"

Xie Jin immediately looked up at Bai Yuxiu: "Have you never read the summary of today's Taoism?"

Bai Yuxiu shook her head blankly: "As usual, these things are all transcribed by the secretary of the General Administration Department, and the students haven't read them today."

"Crap!"

Xie Jin lost his voice at the moment, and his face became more and more ugly.

Bai Yuxiu entered again: "Sir, what happened?"

Snapped.

The memorial held in Xie Jin's hand fell on the table in front of Bai Yuxiu.

Bai Yuxiu quickly picked it up and started to read.

Xie Jin had already stood up at this time, with a flustered expression: "It's a big mess! The General Secretary must have leaked the matter, and now Yingtian City is probably in chaos."

Xie Jin paced back and forth.

"Go to His Majesty!"

He yelled in a low voice, then turned his head to look at Bai Yuxiu who was holding the memorial, only to see that Bai Yuxiu's face was pale and her whole body was trembling.

"The entire territory of Henan Province is in rebellion..."

"Shandong Dao rebelled, water transportation was interrupted..."

"Wanmin petition to abolish the emperor's grandson who supervises the country..."

"The imperial court..."

"The court, the court..."

Bai Yuxiu was almost out of breath, the breath from her chest was coming out more than coming in, her cheeks that were originally pale turned red in an instant.

Seeing something bad, Xie Jin immediately stepped forward, waved his hand and slapped Bai Yuxiu's cheek heavily: "Wake up!"

Bai Yuxiu was slapped to the ground by her husband's slap, her eyes that had been dazed at first gradually regained clarity, and her face gradually calmed down, but her chest still heaved heavily.

Xie Jin's face was tense: "Follow me to meet His Majesty!"

With a shout, Xie Jin ran out of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Bai Yuxiu's eyes flickered twice, then she staggered to her feet and ran outside in a hurry.

In the important place of the Huanghuang Daming Palace, Xie Jin and Bai Yuxiu, master and apprentice, ran towards the back of the three halls as if they had lost their souls.

It attracted the attention of countless servants and maids in the palace.

No one knows what happened today to Jane's Bachelor Xie, who is so noble as to be in the emperor's heart.

But Xie Jin, who led Bai Yuxiu to Qianqing Palace, was already extremely anxious.

"Where is the problem?"

"Henan and Shandong are rebelling, why is there no military report?"

"Why is it so good that there is a blood letter from Wanmin asking to abolish the emperor's grandson?"

"What went wrong?"

"What went wrong?"

Bai Yuxiu followed behind Xie Jin, but she was like a headless chicken, her head was full of what she had just seen.

The world is in chaos!

Throughout the article, everything is saying that the Ming Dynasty has already fallen into chaos.

But why didn't the imperial court get any news in advance, and even made a scene that the people asked to abolish the emperor and grandson.

The two roads in Henan and Shandong are in chaos.

But now, Ying Tian City is bound to become chaotic.

Even more chaotic...
