But it was said that on this day, Hongzhi went to the court, and there was a discussion about the government, just when they were about to retire from the court.

Suddenly, a gray-haired man walked out of the court class and arched his hand, "The minister has this music!" ”

Hongji was stunned, what does this old minister have to play?

This is none other than Bai Ang, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Bai Ang (1435-1503), the character Tingyi, Tan Kangmin. A native of Wujin, Changzhou, Jiangsu. In the first year of Tianshun (1457), Deng Jinshi, Ren Like gave the matter, and later pacified Liu Tong's rebellion and made meritorious contributions, and was promoted to the military department. Since then, it has been promoted to the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Government. In the sixth year of Hongzhi, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was reformed.

In May of the second year of the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty (1489), the Yellow River decided at Kaifeng and Fengqiu Jinglongkou, and many counties were killed, and some people advocated moving to Kaifeng to avoid its troubles. In September, Bai Ang was ordered to repair the river for the head of the household, and gave a special edict to join the three governors of Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili, from the Shangyuan Breach to the canal, and the camera was built. In the first month of the third year of Hongzhi, Bai Ang surveyed the water potential, "Seeing the Shangyuan Break, the water enters the south bank thirteen, and the north bank enters seventeen." Those who decide in the south are divided into two branches from Zhongmu Yangqiao to Xiangfu boundary: one through Weishi and other counties, Heyingshui, Tu Mountain, and Yuhuai; Once through Xu and other counties, enter the vortex river, go down to Jing Mountain, and enter Yuhuai. Another branch from the Bo County of Tongfengyang, Dezhou, will also vortex the river and enter the Huai. The northern deciders from Yangwu, Xiangfu, Fengqiu, Lanyang, Yifeng, Kaocheng, one of them broke into Jinglong and other mouths, to Caozhou, Shandong, and rushed into the Zhangqiucao River. Go to the winter water to eliminate the sand accumulation, the break has been silted, because it is a large branch, from the auspicious Fu Zhaijiakou Heqin River, out of the Dingjia crossing, down Xuzhou". In view of this situation, he suggested that "it is advisable to dredge the south bank to kill the river" and "build embankments in the seven counties through which the north flow passes to protect Zhang Qiu". After the imperial court agreed, he organized 250,000 people to "build the Yangwu Long Causeway to prevent Zhang Qiu from leading the Mu River...... To reach Huai, the ancient Bianhe River in Junsuzhou to enter the Si", and the Sui River to the Cao River, the Shuyue River more than ten to discharge water, and plug the mouth of 36 places, so that the river "flows into the Bian, Bian, Sui into the Si, Si into the Huai, to reach the sea".

The completion of this large-scale water conservancy project connecting the four provinces of the Central Plains has saved the middle reaches of the Yellow River from flooding for more than half a century. After Bai Ang returned to Beijing, he was praised and later promoted to the secretary of the criminal department.

But given that he is over sixty years old, Hongzhi didn't want him to work too much, so Hongji allowed him to return home to recuperate, and he had already ignored the affairs of the criminal department for many days, but he never thought that he would go to court today, and there was this music, which is really strange?!

"Is Bai Qing in good health?" Hongji asked with a pleasant face.

Bai Ang's body has been all the time, and he thanked him and said, "After recuperation, the old minister's health is getting better, and His Majesty is worried!" ”

"That's good, what does Bai Qing have to do?" Koji asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, has there been a change in Jiangxi?" Bai Ang's face was solemn, and he arched his hand.

"Has there been a change in Jiangxi?" Hongji was stunned.

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and the ministers couldn't help but change their faces, and they all set their eyes on Bai Ang.

You must know that now that the rebellion in Yunnan has just been quelled, and the affairs in southern Xinjiang have just subsided, how can there be a report that there is a change in Jiangxi when they are recuperating and recuperating? What's more, there is no report from Nanjing! How did he receive a report from a criminal department? Is it accurate?

What's more, this criminal department is not in line with the rebellion! Could it be that he is old and confused?

"Your Majesty, Sun Sui, the director of the Guizhou Department of the Criminal Department, has a book, King Yanning's dynamics are abnormal, and Jiangxi is afraid of chaos!" Bai Ang held the fold in both hands and played the report loudly.

Yes! The ministers were in an uproar, and it was actually played by the director of the Guizhou Division of the Criminal Department, this, is this Bai Ang old and confused? !

Hongzhi also frowned, but then his face softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Bai Qing, this King Ning is now being punished in the Nanjing Zongren Mansion, how can he go back to Jiangxi to make trouble?" Are you mistaken? ”

There is another sentence he didn't say, the governor of Nanjiang didn't come to the battle, you criminal department dog take a mouse to take care of virtuous things, is this news accurate? What's more, it's still so far away from Guizhou, can this news be accurate?

Bai Ang's face was straight, "Your Majesty, the old minister guarantees with his head, this news will definitely not be wrong, please ask Your Majesty to check it, otherwise, if there is chaos, the people will be in dire straits!" ”

Hongzhi frowned, "Where did Bai Qing's words come from?" ”

"Your Majesty, this Sun Sui is the son of Sun Xin, the ambassador of Zhengzhou Delivery Station in Daming Henan Province, and was born in the fourth year of Ming Shun (1460). Hongzhi six years (1493) Jinshi, Hongzhi ten years, the director of the Guizhou Department of the Ministry of Punishment, this time he got the news from his friend Fei Hong, the king of Naning has already returned to Jiangxi, but also befriended the powerful, bribed the court officials, and plotted rebellion. Claiming to be the king, he called his orders 'holy decrees', and recruited some Jiangyang thieves into the palace to expand his power. The signs of Zhu Chenhao's rebellion were exposed, but the officials were afraid of King Ning's power, or they were complicit in him, so they kept quiet. ”

As soon as Fei Hong was mentioned, Hongzhi frowned and stared, this Fei Hong has a very high reputation in the court, and he has a very good relationship with the ministers of the court, but why did he want to play through Sun Sui? This was somewhat unexpected.

Fei Hong (1468-1535), the character is full, and the name is Jianzhai. A native of Lieqiao, Fuhui Township, Leadshan County, Jiangxi Province, the champion of the Ming Dynasty. Fei Hong has been smart and studious since childhood, at the age of 13, the boy of CITIC Prefecture took the "Wenyuan", and at the age of 16, Zhongjiang Xixiang took the "Xie Yuan", in the spring of the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Fei Hong participated in the Jinshi examination, and was appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy. He was 20 years old and was the youngest champion Hanlin in the Ming Dynasty. In August of this year, Emperor Chenghua died, and participated in the revision of the "Records of Xianzong", and the president and vice president both pushed Fei Hong and let him be responsible. In the third year of Xiaozong Hongzhi (1490), the examiner and chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites Examination were cabinet ministers, Xu Pu and Wang Zongbo, who trusted Fei Hong, and the evaluation of the test papers and the articles played were drafted by Fei Hong. Although Fei Hong is young, in the past few years in politics, he has participated in the government affairs presided over by the minister, which shows that he is not only talented in literature, but also skilled in politics and practical affairs. In the ninth year of Hongzhi, he was the official of the court examination. Soon, the left Chunfang Zuo Zanshan. In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, his mother Yu Anren died, and Fei Hong returned to his hometown to treat the funeral and filial piety.

Now he should be keeping filial piety! How could there be such news, or was it passed on to Sun Sui?

"Your Majesty, I believe that Fei Hong is now in Jiangxi, and the source must be reliable, and he must be in danger now, and he cannot inform the imperial court through normal channels, so he went to Guizhou to inform Sun Sui, and asked His Majesty to make a decision in time! Otherwise, something big is going to happen! Bai Ang was a little anxious and said loudly.

"Report, eight hundred miles urgent!" Just then, suddenly, a voice sounded.

The faces of the ministers changed greatly, and they couldn't help but set their eyes on Bai Ang, this is really a crow's mouth! As soon as he said that something had happened, he came in an eight-hundred-mile urgency!

Hongji's face also changed and he threw himself outside the hall.

A rush of footsteps came, and a royal forest soldier hurriedly came in, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and announced, "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles are urgent, Jiangxi is changing rapidly!" ”

The faces of the ministers changed suddenly, could it really be King Ning?

"Bring it on!" Hongji shouted.

Naturally, a little eunuch stepped forward to present the battle report.

Hongji unfolded the battle report in front of him and took a closer look, in the eyes of the ministers, his face turned blue and red, anger surged, and his face instantly turned iron-blue.

Syllable! Hongji slapped the battle report heavily on the dragon case.

"Shaft dares!" Hongji shouted angrily.

The courtiers looked at each other, what was the matter? Even if there is a change in Jiangxi, it won't be like this, right?!

Hongji eased his emotions a little, raised the battle report, and commanded the little eunuch, "Read! ”

The little eunuch stepped forward tremblingly, picked up the battle report, unfolded it, and read tremblingly, ""Seeking Hongzhi"

Yes! In an instant, there was chaos in the court, and he actually crusaded against His Majesty Hongzhi? How bold this is! Who is it?

Liu Jian and the other ministers had solemn faces, they heard it, I am afraid that this battle report was only sent by King Ning, but what is the content? Actually made Emperor Hongzhi so angry? They have a little bottom in their hearts.

"The ancestors founded the Ming Dynasty, and it has been a hundred years. Regardless of the ancestral bloodline, Xianzong died and was broken. It is a folk wild species. After the adulterous eunuch, he was hugged into the palace. After the week, it is regarded as if it has been out, and love is like an arch wall. So he was reckless and scoundrel, like an emperor and nobleman. A five-year-old idiot, he became the crown prince. At the age of seventeen, he became a great treasure. This monarch is mediocre, the imperial power is decaying day by day, the government is becoming more and more corrupt, the people are in dire straits, and various places have risen up. The ancestral system is ruined, and the new law is not established. The imperial court is like a market, and Shenzhou is bitter. The times are so difficult, Yuzhu is unaware. The celestial phenomena in Yunnan have changed one after another, and disasters have fallen, but the ministers are still calm. One or two old ministers did not listen to the advice, and a group of small ministers persuaded them to be angry.

Ning Wang Chenhao is the orthodox bloodline of Emperor Taizu. Now according to the edict of the Queen Mother, she raised troops to fight against the faint monarch and traitor. The army was everywhere, and Autumn did not commit any crimes; It is advisable to welcome each other when you are old, and to be less in the army. Eliminate Hongzhi, the people's aspirations. Work together to build a meritorious cause; Shine on the sun and the moon, worthy of heaven and earth.

Grass this article, salty make smell it. ”

The voice of the little eunuch resounded above the main hall, but there was silence in the main hall.

Obviously, this King Ning is the opposite! It's still so decisive!

actually brought up the old things again, and talked about the life experience of Emperor Hongzhi, how could Emperor Hongzhi not be extremely angry!

You must know that back then, Emperor Hongzhi was actually the first emperor Zhu Xianzong Zhu Jianshen met Zhu Youji's mother Concubine Ji in the fifth year of Chenghua (1469), and he was directly lucky, and he didn't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, this Concubine Ji was actually pregnant.

Originally, this was pregnant with the emperor's child, at least this Concubine Ji would soon soar into the sky and soar, however, the harem at that time was under the jurisdiction of Wan Guifei, and this Wan Guifei was not a fuel-efficient lamp, she couldn't see anyone pregnant with Xianzong's child at all, and for her status, she had to get rid of anything that might threaten her life.

This Concubine Ji knew this very well, so she naturally didn't dare to make it public, so she could only hide it in many ways, for fear that Concubine Wan would know. Of course, in the deep palace, this could not be concealed at all, and it was still known to Concubine Wan, but Concubine Wan's cronies did not report the truth, but concealed it, which saved Concubine Ji and the child's lives.

However, then after the care of a eunuch named Zhang Min, the child was saved, of course, in the end, it could not be hidden, and it was known by Wan Guifei, Zhang Min also died in the palace, but the child was retained, but Concubine Ji also died subsequently, and the child was in extreme danger in the palace, but the Empress Dowager Zhou appeared and protected the child.

However, this is not a long-term time, after all, Wan Guifei is in charge of the harem, and it is not too simple to find an opportunity to kill this child. At this moment, Mr. Lu appeared, mediating between everyone, seeking more backers for Emperor Hongzhi, and the most important thing was Huai'en, the eunuch who had gone through three dynasties and held a lot of power.

Huaien, a native of Shandong Province, his surname is Dai, during the Xuande period, because his father was involved in the crime of copying the house, he was forced to enter the palace to become a eunuch, changed his name to Huaien, and finally became a powerful eunuch.

It was Huai En who protected Zhu Youzhu in countless frame-ups in the inner palace, and made Concubine Wan's conspiracy fail again and again.

Of course, this is also the specific historical condition of the shady scenes in the Chenghua period, Huaien had to find a way out to break the shady scenes, and this way out was placed in front of him by Lu Mingyuan, that is, Zhu Youji.

So, he testified for Zhang Min, confirmed Zhu Youji's identity, witnessed Zhu Youji's growth, and at the same time, he defended Zhu Youzhu again and again, broke the conspiracy around Zhu Youji, and ensured Zhu Youji's safety in the palace.

There is Huai En inside, and Lu Mingyuan outside, they protect Zhu Youzhi to survive hard, and in countless dangers, he finally survived under the threat of Wan Guifei, of course, Zhu Youzhi gradually had a certain counterattack with the help of Mr. Lu, Huai En and some forces, and gradually formed a situation of equal strength with Wan Guifei in the palace.

However, for the last time, Zhu Youji's danger came from a Liang Fang.

Liang Fang, the eunuch of the palace during the Chenghua period, he wantonly squandered the money in the palace treasury, after a period of time, Xianzong went to the inner library to inspect, and found that all the seven cellars of gold accumulated in several dynasties were used up, Xianzong actually revealed the meaning, to let the future Zhu Youzhi clean him up, it can be regarded as a nest to the extreme.

However, Liang Fang didn't think so, and was extremely scared, so he actually went to unite with Wan Guifei and hurt Zhu Youji.

With the concerted efforts of the two, Zhu Jianshen actually made up his mind to abolish Zhu Youji.

Wynn was shocked and worked together with Lu Mingyuan to tide over this danger. Of course, Huai En didn't fall well, and was assigned to Fengyang to guard the spirit.

At this time, the greatest protection in Zhu Youji's palace was gone, but fortunately, at this time, the Taishan earthquake, under the operation of Lu Mingyuan, Emperor Chenghua thought that this matter was a warning from God to him, so that he did not dare to abolish Zhu Youji's thoughts again.

Finally, the light came, and Zhu Youzhu survived this darkest day and succeeded to the throne as Emperor Hongzhi.

This period of history makes it difficult for Zhu Youzhu to face, and today, King Ning actually attacked him with this, which is tantamount to turning over his unbearable past and trampling on it, how can he be indifferent!
