Chapter 1003: Sensationalism
Narsha never imagined that someone on the main hall would dare to oppose Li Yuntian, and looked at it with a surprised expression, only to see a middle-aged civil official standing in the middle of the queue of Wenchen on the left walked out of the queue and walked quickly to the front of the hall under the gaze of everyone.
"The attendant of the Hanlin Academy said that Wang Qi had seen the emperor and the empress dowager."
After standing in front of the palace, the middle-aged civil official first bowed to the orthodox emperor and the empress dowager of the Zhang family, and then said solemnly, "The emperor and the empress dowager, the disaster of war is bound to be devastated. ”
Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he heard this, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, this Wang Qi is an elm head in the Hanlin Academy, who knows how to preach the way of Confucius and Mencius all day long, and knows nothing about national affairs and human affairs, so he claims to be a scholar who defends the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius.
Moreover, Li Yuntian knew that Wang Qi had always been unconvinced that he was awarded a Zuochunfang University Scholar, thinking that Li Yuntian's attainments in science were far inferior to him, and the reason why Li Yuntian was able to become a Zuo Chunfang University Scholar was only by relying on the favor of Emperor Xuande.
Since Wang Qi is completely a complete nerd, the people around him usually don't provoke him, otherwise they will be annoyed by his chatter.
Li Yuntian naturally knew that Wang Qi was worried about him becoming a scholar of Zuo Chunfang, and he usually complained about it, but he was too lazy to deal with such pedantic people, so he just laughed it off, but he didn't expect this guy to have a lever in the important matter of the country that was related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty.
"The king said that the enemy is not accustomed to Confucius and Mencius, and is rude and brutal by nature, and there is nothing more affectionate with them than playing the harp to the ox." At this time, Yang Shiqi glanced at Wang Qi and said quietly, hoping that he could retreat from the difficulties and not disturb the important affairs of the country in the main hall.
"Lord Yang, the lower officials believe that sincerity is what they want, and they are willing to go to the Western Regions to preach and educate the Western Chagatai and the Northern Yuan, so that they will know their way back and eliminate the scourge of this war in front of them." Unexpectedly, Wang Qi's face turned pale, and he said to Yang Shiqi solemnly.
Yang Shiqi was dumbfounded when he heard this, this Wang Qi usually knew that he was a little talented in manipulating him, and he actually regarded the war between the two countries as a child's play, which really made him feel speechless, did Wang Qi think that facing the other party's hundreds of thousands of troops could make him retreat with only three words or two words?
Because he was born as a literati, Yang Shiqi knows very well that Wang Qi, a person who thinks highly of himself, is very stubborn, not only loves to drill the horns of the bull, but also once he recognizes the matter, the eight cows can't pull it back.
What is especially important is that literati love face and prefer a good reputation, if Wang Qi can resolve this war crisis of the Ming Dynasty, then he will be admired by the people of the world, which is a huge temptation for him.
"Wang Shi said, the West Chagatai and the Northern Yuan Dynasty have been planning for a long time to invade my Ming Dynasty, and they are fierce enemies like tigers and wolves, and they have never tasted the etiquette of Confucius and Mencius, and they are aggressive by nature and advocate force, so it is better for Wang Shi to say that it is better not to take risks." Li Yuntian saw that Yang Shiqi was speechless for a while, and knew that Yang Shiqi had no good way to take Wang Qi, so he pondered for a while and persuaded him.
"King Zhongwu, this is a bad statement, as the saying goes, it is in the people to achieve things, as long as there is a glimmer of life, the officials will fight for the opportunity to eliminate the scourge of war." Wang Qi turned to Li Yuntian when he heard this, and said solemnly, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
Li Yuntian secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, although Wang Qi's ambition is commendable, but he also has to divide the occasion, facing the fierce Western Chagatai Khanate and the Northern Yuan coalition army, now it can be said that it is the time of life and death of the Ming Dynasty, how can he be allowed to do whatever he wants.
"The emperor, the empress dowager, the minister thinks that the king's words are reasonable, if the scourge of war can be eliminated, then it will also be a good thing for the people to benefit the country and the people."
Li Yuntian didn't want to be entangled with Wang Qi in this matter, since Wang Qi volunteered to negotiate peace with the Western Chagatai Khanate and the Northern Yuan, then he would satisfy Wang Qi's wish, as for what happened at that time, it would be up to him to bear it, so he pondered for a while and bowed down to the orthodox emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhang, "But there are many dangers here, and the ministers are a little worried about the safety of Wang Shiyan." ”
"The emperor, the empress dowager, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, although the scholar of the minister cannot gallop the field like the king of loyalty, but he also has the enthusiasm to serve the country, and he is by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Li Yuntian's voice lagged behind, and Wang Qi immediately spoke, and said loudly in a righteous voice.
"Pedantic, vanity!" Hearing this, Li Yuntian shook his head secretly, and gave Wang Qi a four-word evaluation in his heart, Wang Qi thought about things too simply, and he would definitely suffer a big loss at that time.
"Since this is the case, then the mourning family will grant your request on behalf of the emperor and send you to Guanxi as the envoy of the Ming Dynasty." The Empress Dowager of the Zhang family had already sensed that Li Yuntian did not want to be entangled with Wang Qi, so she said after a deep sigh.
"Emperor Xie, Empress Dowager Xie, the ministers will go all out and will not disgrace their mission." Wang Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, as long as he can complete this tricky errand, he will definitely become famous, and he will be able to leave Li Yuntian behind at that time, after all, surrendering without a fight is the best way to fight the art of war.
The civil and military officials in the main hall couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise when they saw this, in their opinion, Wang Qi's move was undoubtedly self-defeating, did he want to use the gift of Confucius and Mencius to persuade those uncivilized and greedy barbarians?
"In order to prevent accidents, the cabinet, the military cabinet, and the chief officials of the five governments and six ministries held a court meeting to reorganize the armament for war." The Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Wang Qi who was kneeling there, and issued a decree in a loud voice, she didn't think that Wang Qi could resolve this war, so it was better to hurry up and prepare for the war now.
"Obey the Order!" Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and other high-ranking officials and dignitaries bowed to the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family when they heard this, accepted the will of the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family, and prepared to discuss the matter of sending troops to the Western Regions.
According to the Ming Dynasty, whenever the imperial court encounters serious political affairs, or when there is a vacancy in the civil and military ministers, the Son of Heaven will order the courtier meeting to discuss with each other, and report to the emperor to make a decision later.
Among them, it is called court deliberation related to the pros and cons of political gains and losses, and it is called court push related to personnel promotion and appointment.
The court meeting mainly includes seven major matters: 1. Establishing a monarch and establishing a prince; Second, the construction of the capital; 3. Discussion of suburban rituals; 4. Ceremony; 5. The Clan; Sixth, the discussion of Cao Yun; 7. Discuss side affairs.
The people who participated in the court discussion were the left and right governors of the five military governors' mansions and the six Shangshu, the imperial envoys of the left and right of the Imperial Procuratorate, the temple secretary of Dali Temple, and the general political envoy Sitong, plus the six departments to the middle of the matter and the imperial history of the Dao, and reported to the emperor for a ruling after drawing conclusions.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the court meeting was presided over by the emperor himself, and after the orthodoxy, the emperor lived in a simple and simple place to connect with the ministers, and since then not only the court meeting was abolished, but the court meeting was also presided over by the various departments of the relevant court matters.
Later, with the establishment of the cabinet and the military cabinet, the cabinet and the military cabinet members also had to participate in the court meeting, which was equivalent to gathering the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty to discuss state affairs.
"The Empress Dowager, the little woman asks the Empress Dowager to call the shots, otherwise she will have no shame to return to China to restore her life." Seeing that the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family had issued a decree for the court discussion, Narsha knew that this court meeting was about to end and she had lost the opportunity to see the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family, so she glanced at Li Yuntian, bit her lip and knelt in front of the palace and said.
"Oh?" Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Zhang felt a little strange, and she didn't know what this woman from the Western Regions was asking her for, so she asked quietly, "What do you need to do with the mourning family for you?" ”
"The Empress Dowager, the little girl wants to implore the mother to give the little girl a marriage." Narsa raised her head when she heard this, and said in a coquettish voice, a shy look flashing on her delicate cheeks.
"Marriage?" The Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned for a moment, she never expected that Narsa would make such a request, and then looked at Narsa with interest, "Sue the mourning family, which son-in-law you have a crush on, the mourning family will definitely call the shots for you." ”
For the Empress Dowager Zhang, giving marriage was just a gesture, which was not only a gift from the royal family, but also a way to win over the officials in the court.
The ministers in the main hall were also surprised, because Narsa has recently become famous in the capital, so many people know her, knowing that this woman has a very high vision, and many princes and ministers want to kiss Fang Ze but have not succeeded, I don't know who Narsa has taken a fancy to.
At the same time, the civil and military officials also felt that the women of the Western Regions acted boldly and spicy, and in the Ming Dynasty, marriages were usually handled by their parents, and where did the eldest girl's family take the initiative to marry in public.
When he learned of Narsha's intentions, Li Yuntian was slightly stunned at first, he also thought that what Narsa said was related to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but he didn't expect it to be her marriage, and then his heart couldn't help but sink, and for some reason he had an ominous premonition
"The Empress Dowager, the little woman is not a dancing girl, but a music official of the Dance and Music Division of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, who loves dancing since childhood, and is accepted as a righteous daughter by the love of our country's concubine, and this time I was able to follow the mission to the Ming Dynasty and see the prosperity and exquisite dance skills of the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, Narsa raised her head, looked at the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family solemnly and said, "Niangniang, the little girl has not yet left the cabinet, and her face is covered with a veil, according to the rules of our dance and music division, once the veil is removed, then the little woman can only make two choices, one is to kill the other party, and the other is to marry the other party!" ”
Hearing this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian one after another, their eyes were full of weirdness, everyone knew that Li Yuntian ripped off Narsha's veil when he went to Lu Youyu's house for a banquet, and Narsa's words at this time obviously wanted Li Yuntian to be responsible.
Li Yuntian's face showed an embarrassed look, things were really as he had feared before, Narsa was going to "overlord hard bow", through the Empress Dowager Zhang's "raw rice cooked rice", he already had enough wives and concubines, if he married Narsa again, the back house of the Zhongwu Mansion would be able to form a football team.
The Empress Dowager Zhang also heard about Li Yuntian tearing off Narsa's veil after drinking, so she immediately understood who Narsa had taken a fancy to, and she couldn't help but secretly praise Narsa for her eyesight, the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty was both talented and beautiful, both civil and military, but not anyone could marry into the Zhongwu Palace.
