Chapter 16 Qin Tian
Chen Mu's trip was originally a good time to carefully choose. At this critical moment, the court met with ministers from all over the world, and the meeting allowed the Ming Empire to continue to explore the east and west. It was precisely to avoid this good opportunity that he left the capital.
As an appetizer, he wrote the restructuring of his military uniform and the writings of the flag army entering areas with high incidence of summer epidemics. The Minister of War Tan Lun agreed, and the cabinet submitted the votes and approved the red.
Because he, an unemployed official, does not have to participate in the court meeting.
Everything should have been going smoothly until the court adopted the Siyang proposal to raise the importance of overseas affairs, so that the Beiyang Yamen had cabinet ministers and six ministries to become the new powerful Yamen of the Ming Empire. This is also a way for Chen Mu to improve the honor of overseas soldiers.
When all this was done, he guessed that he would return to the position of Minister of the South China Sea and gain a place among the few important officials in Beiyang.
As for the Minister of Beiyang, it was an official position that Chen Mu had never thought of. It was obviously a mascot. No one was more authoritative than him in the maritime affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so Tan Lun said that it was his yamen. Is it worth mentioning? Nanyang, Western, Eastern, Beiyang, no matter which yamen, he tailored it for himself!
If it weren't for the fifth day of the April 10, it was the solar eclipse anniversary of Xiao Wanli.
Last year, a total solar eclipse enveloped the earth. Because of this day, the young emperor made a twelve tooth cards of "being cautious in heaven, appointing virtuous people, being close to wise ministers, being far away from flattery, being cautious in communicating, being cautious in daily life, being cautious in food, being at ease, being respectful, accepting loyal advice, and making money" to warn yourself.
He told Zhang Juzheng about this, and originally wanted Zhang Juzheng to praise him, but Zhang Ge Lao not only explained the exact meaning to the little emperor one by one, but also told him that although these things are caused by the change of heaven, they are all the great way to cultivate oneself and govern the world, and can be practiced for life. He also specially found two people to hold tooth signs beside the little emperor to warn him.
Oh my god!
The little emperor felt that he still owed his father a lot of pies, so how could he eat and eat for the rest of his life!
Turning around, he forgot to clean up. Then it was this time of this year. The little emperor decided to use a solar eclipse last year to escape the increasingly busy schoolwork and give himself a vacation, so he simply turned down the court meeting.
So much so that Chen Mu returned to the capital in the morning, and was quiet everywhere, so that all the civil and military officials in the city could have a good sleep.
However, no one allowed him to be idle. Before Chen Mu entered the Chen Mansion, he saw the decoration-decorated craftsmen of Suzhou Xiangshan Gang erecting two rows outside the mansion, with tools and materials piled up at the door. Outside the door, a few doors with palace waist signs were tied, and the Jinyiwei in bullfighting uniforms and waisted and handgun bowed to him with a smile.
"Shishuai Chen is back. You guys are waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly. There is something good in the mansion today!"
As he said that, a little eunuch standing outside the door ran to the mansion and called out a few festive calls.
Behind Chen Mu, Zhao Shizhen and Du Song looked at each other: Yes, Mr. Shuai’s official position has been settled!
When he entered the door, he smiled at an old acquaintance with his black teeth in his arms. Chen Ju, the military supervisor of the Nanyang Military Office, smiled at Chen Mu with the edict: "Ship Chen, please let us wait!"
I won’t say much about my acquaintance and just go through the procedure. Chen Mu bowed and Chen Ju said something more before opening the imperial edict: “Your Majesty knows that the general’s literary talent is not good, and he does not follow the instructions and all of them are oral words. Please listen to it.”
"The emperor ordered Chen Mu, the minister of Nanyang: Nanyang is a barrier of our dynasty, and was destroyed by the barbarians in the past. You took them back and made great contributions to satisfy the wishes of the late emperor, and granted the title of Fengtianyiyun and sincerely to the military minister Jing Haibo, and ate thousands of stones. Your achievements have been difficult to find in the world for decades, and my reward has not been in the world for decades. Now you are appointed as the minister of the East and the affairs of the South and the Beiyang yamen to serve as an important minister. Enter the palace to thank you for your kindness!"
Chen Mu accepted the imperial edict with a confused mind. Is this edict fake?
It’s not that he sounds a little confused, but Chen Ju was confused when he read the edict. The key is that he felt that the little emperor was a little confused when he dictated the imperial edict. After appointing an official position, he should not say something like diligent in the future. Who would write a quick guide to the imperial edict to thank him!
He didn't know whether this Jing Haibo was a noun or an adjective, but it was probably an adjective.
If it were a noun, there was Jinghai in Tianjin, but it was renamed Jinghai a hundred decades ago; there was Jinghai in Huilai, Guangdong, but unfortunately it was a Thousand Household Office.
In fact, he thinks Zhenhai and Dinghai are more majestic.
After reading the edict, Chen Ju couldn't wait to put it into Chen Mu's hand, directing the eunuchs around him to forcefully change Chen Mu to the newly-given python robe, and explained while changing: "This time, the gift of his Majesty is still clothes and silk. Two small Western horses are the baby after being given birth to the imperial horses in the palace in Nanyang the previous year. We must congratulate the Lord, hurry up and enter the palace. Grandpa is so anxious!"
The grandfather Chen Ju mentioned was not himself, but Xiao Wanli.
Chen Mu followed Chen Ju and his group of eunuchs in brocade clothes like being driven to the shelves, wearing a new python robe that showed their closeness to him, and went out to get on the horse without even a sip of tea at home, so he was rushed to the Donghua Gate by Chen Ju into the palace.
When he entered the palace, he could not find the emperor and was unable to walk through the Forbidden City. He had to leave the palace from Donghua Gate and walked along the corridor to the six divisions outside Chengtian Gate.
Wanli has left the palace and is in the Imperial Heavenly Prison.
The Honglu Temple in the north, the Imperial Hospital in the south, and the west is the Imperial Palace in the middle of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites.
When Chen Mu arrived at the Imperial Heavenly Prison, the street at the entrance of the Ministry of Revenue was occupied by the ceremonial guards. He followed the road with brocaded clothes. The majestic general of the Han Dynasty, carrying a red-rod small golden gourd on his shoulders, looked at the imperial count who was wearing an imperial python robe and accompanied by eunuchs' brocaded clothes from afar.
If you don’t take out the edict, you won’t let you enter.
After entering the Imperial Heaven Prison and seeing the emperor from afar, Chen Mu roughly knew the reason why the edict was so sloppy - the emperor was angry, and he could hear the voice of the little emperor in the voice change period from a distance.
"I don't believe it. You generations of Yin and Yang families are not as good as those of the ancients?"
The overall impression of the Imperial Heaven Supervision gave Chen Mu was very technological. With the huge gear sound and water transport amphibious spheres, the minor officials of the Imperial Heaven Supervision climbed up and down, while the chief officer was trembling and was scolded by the emperor. Only this sounded like a smile on Chen Mu who was stepping into it.
What does it mean to be inferior to an ancient man!
The fifth-rank Imperial Superintendent led his deputy and the officials in the main hall to tremble. The little emperor jumped and slapped the Superintendent. He turned his head angrily when he heard the voice. He still had anger on his face. He raised his hand to point at Chen Mu, but his words were stuck in his throat. After a while, he kicked the armpit stratosphere next to him. His voice was a little shorter. He approached and asked Chen Mu in a low voice, "Chen Qing! I have appointed you as...why are you?"
"I am the Prince of Jinghai of Beiyang Yamen, please see Your Majesty!"
Chen Mu was serious and felt so sad that his face hurt.
