eldest son of Ming dynasty

Li Mengyang is the magistrate of the locality, this place is Huguang, the current governor of Huguang is Xie Qian, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang have a good relationship.

Therefore, Li Mengyang, the magistrate, left when his term expired, and no one wanted to keep him, and no one was willing to stay.

Thinking about it, he didn't make too much achievement. Objectively speaking, Li Mengyang cannot be blamed for this. After all, Huguang's problem cannot be solved by a magistrate with no foundation in the court. In fact, it is not very easy to use when it is beneficial.

However, the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials does not care whether it is objective or not. If there is no achievement, there is no achievement. The ability is average, and there is no recommendation from a big boss. The best is to be flat.

But Li Mengyang is different from ordinary people. After all, he is still a leader in the literary world. If there is no major crime, if he is sent to a remote area or a really ugly position, it will also cause some criticism.

The various arrangements of Chinese people in officialdom are always full of various subtle calculations.For Li Mengyang's situation, the final transfer order of the Ministry of Officials was to order him to be the Tongzheng envoy, Siquan Huangyou Tongzheng.

Tongzhengshi was established by Zhu Yuanzhang on the basis of Chayansi in the [-]th year of Hongwu.

Its main responsibility is to take charge of internal and external chapters, press releases and rebuttals. Simply put, before handing over some memorials to the emperor, they are first handed over to the Minister of General Affairs, which is where power is reflected.

The other one is that the envoy can participate in court promotion.

Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, the status of Tongzhengshi was very high.

But with the passage of time, basically since Xuande, the status of Tongzhengshi has been declining.

The reason is that the envoy is in charge of the Quartet Memorial, and according to the rules, before the memorial enters the palace, it must be copied here.The reason for this is that one is to preserve the copy and keep it for reference; the other is to classify it separately and present it one by one.

But in this way, the power of the Tongzheng Envoy becomes very sensitive: if anyone wants some impeachment memorials, the Tongzheng Envoy will know first.Therefore, all kinds of bribery and profiteering are endless in history books, and they are getting worse.

After the status of the cabinet rises, this kind of power will naturally be taken away, and the eunuchs will also be given the right to consult the memorials when they are favored. Therefore, after Xuande, the Tongzheng Envoy gradually became a decoration that can participate in court promotion. Sometimes, he is not as good as a six-year-old. Branch to the matter.

But no matter what, he is one of the nine ministers, and the Tongzhengshi is also the "first-level government office" of the central government.

Li Mengyang entered such a place, if anyone thinks that a leader in the literary world like the imperial court is unfair, then they can shut up, at least they did not demote him.

However, the Huangyou Tongzheng, which he was in charge of, was newly established in the second year of Chenghua. Its main duty was to record the reasons for the military attache's posting of Huang and the replacement of Weisuo officials for the purpose of recruitment.

That's it.

So if you want to say that the Ministry of Officials promoted Li Mengyang in violation of regulations, you can also shut up.

And the grade is the same as that of the magistrate, the fourth grade.

It's just that Zhengde has been in for four years now, and they are also fourth-rank. What does such a fourth-rank Beijing official represent, needless to say.

Even so, when people like the six sons of Jisi gathered together, they did not dare to belittle Huang Youtongzheng publicly.

Emperor Xianzong had his own reasons for setting up this position. If you talk nonsense, it would be a headache to meet stupid people who want to make a fuss about disrespecting the late emperor.

So, so be it.

After Li Mengyang returned to Beijing, he took a short rest and began to sit in the office of the Tongzhengshi Si Yamen.

After sitting for only two days, I heard colleagues from all over the world mention the matter of the imperial court's selection of eight ministers to accept the imperial order.

Li Mengyang had been away from Beijing for a long time, and he didn't understand the situation, so he asked: "What is the order of the eight ministers?"

At present, the left and right of the Tongzheng envoy are Zhu Tieping and Xi Xian respectively. They are all in their thirties, slightly younger than Li Mengyang. So in fact, I don't want to offend people like Li Mengyang in the literary world.

Xi Xian said: "It is the order to clean up the remaining eight towns and military settlements."

"Like Ningxia? This should be a good thing!"

Li Mengyang didn't think too much about such a sensitive matter, so he just said it.

Zhu Tieping laughed, "How can this be easy? Qingtun in Ningxia involved a King Qing and a King Anhua from the lineage of King Qing. Others include King Su of Gansu Town, King Dai of Shanxi Town, and King Liao of Liaodong Town. ...How should all these kings deal with the fields they have acquired?"

Xi Xian also said, "Among the eight towns, there are differences between those with vassal kings and those without vassal kings. If this is the case, there is a difference between difficulty and difficulty. Which one is difficult and which one is easy. Your Majesty asks the cabinet to discuss and report, but for the cabinet That being said, it’s already extremely difficult.”

Li Mengyang couldn't understand what he heard. Is the atmosphere in the court already like this?
Shouldn't this matter be a matter of increasing treasury resources and increasing frontier military strength after the eight towns' military settlements were cleared up?Why the focus is off!
After returning home, Li Mengyang always felt resentment in his heart, and it can be said that he could not sleep all night.

A few days later, the book of six sons of Ji Si will be started. Li Mengyang first finds Bian Gong and expresses his true feelings.

Bian Gong was also a stupefied young man, he beat the table and stood up, "My fellowship with Brother Tianci is to admire Brother Tianci's love for the country and the people. The book of Ji Si's six sons is naturally written because a traitor was imprisoned, but everything is beneficial How can there be any reason to reject the thoughts of the country, the country, and the common people in the world?"

"Okay!" Li Mengyang felt relieved. After all, he is still a confidant, that is, he can urinate into a pot, "So, then I will write an article. My colleagues in the department are saying that the land of the kings cannot be disposed of. I want to start from here. The Son of Heaven is virtuous, severely punishing treacherous eunuchs is for the sake of the people, and the imperial court is cleared, and the vassal kings live together, for the sake of the people."

Bian Gong thought it was okay, "If you just sing praises, you will inevitably have the suspicion of whitewashing the peace, but when it comes to the court's official affairs, you may be able to see it from the emperor's perspective, so it can be regarded as a good deed done by brother heaven!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Li Mengyang only felt that the article he was writing was already in front of his eyes, and Bian Gong's sentence "One View for the Son of Heaven" also made him think a little more, if it is really possible...

"Brother Tingshi, the date for the letter from the sixth son of Jisi is less than half a month, who did you invite?"

Speaking of this, Bian Gong was really proud, "Brother Tianci, you have to thank me this time."

"Oh?"

Bian Gong said: "Uncle Wei Ning, do you know Brother Tianci?"

"Is it the grandson of Lord Wang Xiangmin?" Li Mengyang has not yet reached the point of being lonely and ignorant, "Since Zhengde, the nobles have behaved disorderly and touched the holy wrath many times, but Wei Ningbo has suddenly emerged, and most of them are praised by the emperor. His talent is average. , but his character is excellent. Although he is honorable, his behavior towards others is somewhat better than that of Naizu."

Bian Gong laughed helplessly. Wang Yue's conduct was a bit arrogant back then, which made many literati dislike him. Li Mengyang still has to talk about it now.

"It is this man."

Li Mengyang didn't speak proudly, but thought in his heart, then his article must be written to shock the world even more.

……

……

In the palace, Zhu Houzhao was also arranging people after learning the date of Ji Si's six sons' book.

"Your Majesty wants me to participate in this Jisi Six Sons Book, so you want me to raise an argument?" The speaker was astonished, completely incomprehensible.

The emperor snorted sullenly, "A little Li Mengyang, a fourth-rank official, can disturb the situation when he enters Beijing. I want you to suppress his arrogance."

real or fake?

Today's mind will never end here.

"Your Majesty's order is not difficult to do. It's just that I really don't understand. Isn't Your Majesty's original intention to deal with the vassal's land? Why do you want me to refute Li Mengyang?"

"Go as soon as I tell you. Why talk so much?"

The so-called dispute is that there must be a dispute before there is a discussion. If it is all hello, me, hello, everyone, and it is passed by a unanimous show of hands, then this matter will probably not make any trouble.

It is only the kind of people who are arguing with red faces and spitting stars flying all over the sky, so that the main points of the dispute will be noticed and discussed.

But Yan Song didn't understand the emperor's intentions, so he had to answer honestly, "Yes."

He has a bit of a headache, now the direction of the court is to deal with the land of these vassals, but he wants to 'follow the order' to protect those princes who have committed crimes.

If this goes on, won't he become a traitor?
