Sai's mother thought deeply and nodded yes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two discussed secretly and went their separate ways.

Next, the Jingshi regained its calmness, but with the arrival of warriors from all over the country, the Jingshi gradually became lively.

Palace.

After Hongji sat on the dragon case, there were several ministers sitting on the left and right. Li Dongyang was here.

"Ma Qing, how are you preparing for this martial arts?" Hongji looked at a minister and asked with a smile. 、

A minister stood up, only to see his face resolute, a wisp of white beard floating on his chest, and replied.

"Your Majesty, the early stage of the martial arts has been prepared, recently, all the warriors from all over the country have signed up in the military department, and the military department will work together to manage it, and in a few days, everything will be stopped, and the period of the martial arts test can be expected."

This person is Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, with a negative character, alias Youzhai, also known as Sanfeng Jushi and Yousong Daoren. A native of Junzhou (now Yuzhou City, Henan). In the second year of Jingtai (1451), Jinshi. Awarded the imperial history, according to Shanxi, Huguang, moved to Fujian according to the inspection envoy, promoted to the left deputy capital of the imperial history, into the right squire of the military department. Governor of Liaodong, Imperial History of the Right Capital, and Governor Caoyun.

During his successive tenures, he was the governor of Shaanxi, rectified the tea and horse trade with various ministries, exchanged for horses, and captured Pingzhang Tieliesun, with outstanding military achievements, and also coordinated the military affairs of Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu, and gradually became an expert in handling border affairs. Later, he was recalled to the court to serve as the right attendant of the military department. Then he was sent to Liaodong for border preparation, and then went to Liaodong three times for rectification, and was welcomed by the border soldiers.

But then, he was framed by the General Administration Department Zuo Tongzheng Li Zi Province and transferred to Nanjing to serve as the secretary of the military department.

After Hongzhi succeeded to the throne, he was called to the imperial history of the left capital, and in the second year of Hongzhi, he was reappointed as the secretary of the military department. Subsequently, he sent troops to Hami, Turpan and other places in the northwest to solve the contradictions between the Chijin and Mongolian departments and the Tulupan department.

"Okay, Ma Qing bothered!" Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction, and turned to face the ministers next to him, "The matter of martial arts is related to the armament of the imperial court, if you have any suggestions, you might as well mention them." ”

The middle-aged man with a thin face, a white face and no beard, a dignified appearance, and a handsome appearance stood up and arched his hand at Hongzhi, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" ”

"Xie Qing, but it's okay to talk about it." Hongji raised his hand and motioned to sit down.

Xie Qian, the word is Yu Qiao, the number is Muzhai, and he is from Yuyao, Zhejiang. In the eleventh year of Chenghua (1475), the first place in the first class of Jinshi (that is, the champion) was awarded to the Hanlin Academy. In the eighth year of Hongzhi (1495), the imperial court ordered Xie Qian and Li Dongyang to join the cabinet to participate in government affairs. At that time, Xie Qianzheng was taking care of his parents' funeral, trying his best to refuse, and did not accept the appointment until the end of the funeral. He was immediately promoted to the rank of Zhan Shi and continued to serve as a lecturer.

After Xie Qian thanked Hongzhi, he sat down and talked eloquently, "The martial arts are set to be held every six years, which is really a blessing for the imperial court and a feat for the talents of the world. ”

Hongji and the ministers nodded their heads in approval.

"The candidates for the examination are all military officers and students from all over the country, and they are all recommended by the local officials as 'proficient in the art of war, outstanding in strategy' and 'those who have no hindrance', and they can only be allowed to participate after the officials, the department's yamen and the military guards are insured or several candidates have a bond as a guarantee.

For a while, the ministers pondered, what did Xie Qian have to say? They all looked at Xie Qian.

"However, the martial arts examination was only held six years ago, the time interval is too long, and all localities do not attach importance to military equipment, and at the same time, now these people who participate in the martial arts examination have not been selected by the township examination at all, will there be some good and bad?"

The ministers nodded one after another, including Ma Wensheng, the current secretary of the military department.

"Since it is a mixture of good and bad, will it cause trouble if you can enter this prosperous Beijing Division? That will inevitably lead to tension in the security of the Beijing Division, so I think, in addition to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, Jinyiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are responsible, do Master Ma have to ask the Ministry of War to regulate these personnel participating in the martial arts? ”

Hongzhi kept nodding, and the ministers looked at Xie Qian and fell into deep thought.

"In addition, I hope that the Shuntian Mansion Yin will register and file these martial arts test participants, so that they are within the controllable range, and at the same time, let the Jinyi guard strictly investigate and select those who have bad intentions in their center." Xie Qian continued.

"Anything else?" Hongji asked with a smile.

"I think that let the military department classify these warriors, so as to divide and organize them, so that they can be better managed, and there will be no uncontrollable factors in the security of the capital division!"

"Elder Liu Ge, look?" Koji turned to an old minister with a round face and a white beard under his chin.

This minister's name is Liu Jian, the word Xixian, and the name is Haoan. A native of Luoyang (now Luoyang, Henan), he was the first assistant of the cabinet.

Since childhood, he studied under Xue Xuan, and ascended to the Jinshi in the fourth year of Tianshun (1460) of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. After Hongzhi ascended the throne, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of Hanlin entered the cabinet to participate in the aircraft service. Later, he moved to the Ministry of Rites and was a scholar of Wenyuange, and he was added to the prince Taibao, and changed to a scholar of Wuyingdian University. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi (1498), he succeeded Xu Pu as the first assistant, and added the young master and the crown prince.

Liu Jian is broad and profound, dares to speak up, and takes the world as his own responsibility. At that time, the eunuch Li Guang committed suicide in fear of crime due to the fire in Qingning Palace. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qianshangshu said: "In ancient times, there was no emperor who was afraid of disasters, and he always used traitors and ministers to show off the hearing and hearing of Emperor Shengming, bribery was popular, and rewards and punishments were improper. The accumulation of disasters and differences is precisely these reasons, and now fortunately, the first evil has been eliminated, and His Majesty has begun to wake up, but the remaining evil has not been eliminated, and the accumulated evils of the past have not been eliminated. Whatever should be done, deal with it decisively without hesitation, and no longer stick to the old ways, so as not to regret it. Xiaozong Zheng appreciated and accepted Liu Jian's opinion, and Li Guang and Cai Zhao of the same party immediately received the holy decree and gave Li Guang a plaque for the burial and ancestral hall.

Because of his high position, the officials of the DPRK and China sometimes impeached him for dictatorship, but he never took it to heart. In March of the 11th year of Hongzhi (1498) [9], Jiang Ying, a student of Guozijian, impeached Liu Jian and Li Dongyang for blocking the way of speech. In order to comfort Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, Xiaozong put Jiang Ying in prison, and Liu and Li did not care about personal grievances, vigorously defended Jiang and rescued him. His personality has convinced the people of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China.

As a first assistant, Hongji has to consult with him on matters large and small.

Liu Jian stroked his beard and said, "Lord Xie's worry is very much, this matter is indeed not to be underestimated, several yamen must cooperate seamlessly, and the matter of martial arts is handled by Master Ma specifically, it is better to leave this matter to Lord Ma for coordination!" As for the other yamen, please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to assist Master Ma, Your Majesty, do you think so? ”

Hongzhi nodded in approval, looked at Li Dongyang next to him, Li Dongyang was also stunned, Hongzhi nodded at Liu Jian and said, "Okay, just according to Liu Qing, this matter will be done!" Li Qing will draw up the purpose! ”

As he spoke, Hongzhi commanded Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang stood up and arched his hand, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"Zhuqing, please also work together to do this martial arts thing beautifully!" Hongji looked around.

"Your Ministers obey!" The ministers bowed down.

Then everyone discussed some court matters.

"Zhuqing, what else is going on?" Hongji looked around and asked.

"Your Majesty, Gu Zuo, the deputy capital of the imperial history, came to report, saying that the matter of Liaodong Li Gao and others booby-trapping Duoyan Sanwei has been almost investigated, and it will be over in a few days, and he wants to return to Beijing in a while." Liu Jian replied.

"Yes, Lord Gu has already revealed some of this matter, and he is worried that someone will hinder him from returning to Beijing, so the minister wants to send someone to pick him up, so as not to make a bad move." Xie Qian said with a worried face.

"Is there such a thing?" Hongzhi frowned and looked at Xie Qian.

"I'm afraid this matter will be even more serious!" Xie Qian nodded solemnly.

Duoyan Sanwei, established in the 22nd year of Hongwu (1389), the Ming Dynasty established Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu Sanwei in the area of Jinshan to Long'an (now Nong'an County, Jilin Province), Yitu River (now Yitong River), and Yimi River (now Yima River) north of the Liao River. Duoyanwei is in the upper reaches of the Qu Chuan Er River (referring to the Gui Leli River, a southern tributary of the Taoer River) and the area of Duoyan Mountain; Taining Wei is in the Ta'er River (now Tao'er River) basin, that is, Taining Road in the Yuan Dynasty; Fuyuwei was in the Nenjiang River and Fuyu River (now Wuyuer River) basins. At the same time, the Ming court conferred official positions at all levels on the leaders of the three guards, and carried out entrapment and restraint. Feng Azashri is the conductor of Tainingwei, and Tabin Timur is the commander of Tongzhi; Hai Sanan replied that he was the commander of Fu Yuwei; Tuolu Kuzar is the commander of Duoyanwei. The Ming Dynasty demanded that they "lead their own subordinates to secure animal husbandry" ("Ming Shilu?"). Hongwu 22nd year of May 癸巳"), to do the Ming Dynasty's "Yi".

The Mongols called Duoyanwei Wuliangha, Tainingwei Wengniut, and Fuyuwei Uqiyat. This is because the three guards of Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu are mainly composed of the three divisions of Uliangha, Weng Niute and Uqiyet, respectively. Later, the Ming Dynasty also called Duoyanwei Wuliang Hawei. At the beginning, among the three guards, Tainingwei was the most powerful, followed by Fuyuwei, and Duoyanwei was behind. Later, Duoyanwei's strength grew rapidly and jumped to the top of the three guards. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty often referred to the general place of the three guards as Duoyan Sanwei or Wuliangha Sanwei, and the stations of Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu Sanwei were collectively referred to as the "Wuliangha area".

Subsequently, in the Ming Dynasty Chengzu Zhu Di launched the "Jingnan Campaign", borrowed 3,000 elite soldiers from Sanwei, as the backbone of the "Jingnan Army", went south to seize the world, Zhu Di was the emperor, in order to reward the "meritorious service" of the Wuliangha Sanwei Mongols, decided to reward Daningwei (now Chengde City, Pingquan County, Jianchang County and Laoha River Basin) to them. At the same time, he also made the leader of the three guards the position of governor, commander, thousand households and hundred households; It was decided to open mutual markets in Kaiyuan and Quang Ninh for the Wuliang Ha Sanwei Mongols and the Ming Dynasty to carry out trading activities.

Since Emperor Chengzu did not fully fulfill his promise, the Mongol tribes of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, in order to obtain the right to reside in the Daning region, united with the leader of the Asute tribe (known as the Tatar tribe in the Ming Dynasty), which was quite powerful at that time. They often joined forces to attack the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chengzu made three personal expeditions and attacked the Wuliang Ha Sanwei who supported Arutai, causing them to suffer extremely heavy casualties. But they did not give in, and disturbed the side from time to time, which made Daming unbearable.

In the last years of Chenghua, Duoyan Sanwei was forced by the Tatars to hide in the border fortress in order to seek the protection of the Ming court, and its power declined for a long time. The Tatar Little Prince's Department and the Fire Sieve and other departments relied on each other to become stronger, and they were plagued by the eastern and western borders, and the eastern Liaodong border fortress was repeatedly wrecked.

In the first month of the twelfth year of Hongzhi (1499), Li Gao, the chief military officer of Liaodong, Zhang Yu, the governor, and Ren Liang, the eunuch of the town, sent a letter to report the victory, saying that the three guards parted ways and entered the Kou, and the officials and troops were defeated. However, Liu Jian and other ministers believed that Duoyan Sanwei had reconciled with the Ming court in recent years, and suspected that there was fraud.

And Duoyan Sanwei also sent people to shout grievances, saying that Li Gao, the chief military officer of Liaodong, conspired with Zhang Yu, the governor, and Ren Liang, the eunuch who guarded the town, thinking that Duoyan Sanwei was weak and could be bullied, and wanted to kill him to cover up his crimes, so he ordered Cui Jian, Wang Xi, and Lu Xun to set up a banquet and lure more than 300 people to the city to attend the banquet, and killed all of them. It's really a good thing.

The two sides insist on their own words and do not give in to each other.

Therefore, he ordered the deputy capital Yu Shi Gu Zuo to verify. Now there is such a thing, and it is a major matter related to border defense!

Hongji pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, what is your opinion on this matter!" ”

"This matter is important, we must send elite soldiers and strong generals to escort him!" Xie Qiandao.

"Okay, Ma Qing, let's send troops from the Ministry of War!" Hongji nodded in approval.

"Your Majesty, no, now that the Jingshi guards perform their duties, they can't send extra troops at all, and this matter is very important, if there are fewer troops, it won't work!" Ma Wensheng smiled bitterly.

"That's it!" Hongji frowned, "You really can't send troops?" ”

Ma Wensheng nodded with a wry smile, "Not bad!" ”

Li Dongyang, who was next to him, looked at Ma Wensheng, his heart moved, and he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, I don't know if it's feasible." ”

"Oh, Li Qing only came by pipe." Hiroji's eyes lit up. There has always been a saying in the court that "Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan", since Li Dongyang said so, he really may have an idea.

"Your Majesty, the martial arts will be held soon, and the warriors will also be taken, these people who are in the middle of the lift, must be people with excellent strategy and martial arts, and they should be able to do it, and now some martial arts are in Beijing to report on their work, it is better for them to take these people to the middle lift, which can not only solve the problem of insufficient troops, but also train the people in the lift, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? Moreover, the martial arts will be held in the near future, and the time can be caught up. ”

Hongzhi was deeply convinced when he heard this, and said to the ministers, "What do you think of this policy?" ”

"The ministers seconded it!" Liu Jian and other ministers agreed.

"Okay, then please make arrangements for it and implement this matter as soon as possible!"

"Your Ministers obey!" The ministers replied.

"Okay, next, Zhuqing is going to be tired." Hongji laughed.

"This is the duty of the ministers!" Liu Jian led the ministers and bowed to Hongzhi.

Hongji nodded in satisfaction and got up to leave.

Li Dongyang looked at Hongzhi's back, and said secretly in his heart, "CITIC, I fought for this opportunity, it just depends on whether your students are angry!" ”
