The Prosperous Era of Longwan

Yu Dayou and Chen Wangmo were still arguing about the identity of "Zhang Lian", but Zhang Nian was already shaken in his heart.

The scene of selecting prisoners for identification was playing over and over in his mind.

Most of those who were singled out only knew that the man was their leader, but they didn't even know his name. As for a few people, they knew that the leader was Zhang Lian.

The leader Zhang Lian, thinking about it this way, maybe in their perception, the leader is Zhang Lian.

Since they knew that the man was the leader, they thought he was Zhang Lian. As for whether he was someone else among the thieves, they didn't know.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out.

This group of people only knew that the man was the leader, but they didn't know who he was. After all, they didn't know Zhang Lian at all.

broken.

Zhang Nian knew that they were probably mistaken and mistook Yang Shun for Zhang Lian. Although he was also the captured bandit leader, he was not Zhang Lian after all.

But at that time, I was already dazzled by the victory. I only felt that I was lucky. I captured the leader of the thief in the first battle without sending anyone to identify him multiple times.

Hearing the argument between Yu Dayou and Chen Wangmo, Zhang Zhen felt a little irritated.

Things in officialdom are often not black and white. More often than not, it is a matter of weighing the pros and cons.

For example, what happened today, if I immediately send another memorandum to the capital, saying that Zhang Lian was not caught, but that he caught another leader of the rebels, he had made a mistake before.

Although he would not be immediately punished by the emperor for this, he had a bad impression in his heart. He felt that he was impatient and unstable, and his future promotion would be ruined.

When it comes to his career, Zhang Nian will never make a decision haphazardly and needs to be carefully considered.

"You all should stop saying a few words."

Zhang Zhen spoke, and his words successfully silenced the two generals who were arguing fiercely.

Regardless of whether they are the commander-in-chief or deputy commander-in-chief, they can only act like quails in front of Zhang Zhen, the admiral of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Yu Dayou has suffered enough from contradicting his boss. Even if he thinks it is wrong, he should admit it, but he can point out what his boss wants to do, but he can never make decisions for them.

Moreover, many encounters told him that he had to find a way to remove himself from this matter, otherwise it would be very troublesome if it happened.

In fact, he had encountered many things like errands that went wrong and were discovered, but many times it was their subordinate generals who took the blame, while those who were really responsible were often punished lightly.

"I have reported victory to the capital, and this matter cannot be changed."

First of all, Zhang Nian still wanted to keep his official career, so he decided not to report the truth.

As for this "Zhang Lian" not being that Zhang Lian, that's easy to handle. Since Zhang Lian hasn't been caught yet, he should be caught as soon as possible.

By this time, the rebel army has obviously become disorganized. It is the opportunity to eradicate the root of Zhang Lian's troops as soon as possible. We are not afraid of not catching anyone, even if they are not alive, they will be dead. At that time, it will be said that he was seriously injured on the battlefield and died in the battle. Dead in the camp.

This is the solution Zhang Nian thought of. In short, he must be right here. Zhang Lian must be in the army.

"Since. Since General Yu's prisoners say that the person in the camp is not Zhang Lian, then please ask General Yu to send troops again to wipe out the remnants of the rebels and capture the real Zhang Lian."

Chen Wangmo is the commander-in-chief of Guangxi and his subordinate to Zhang Nian, so he is naturally more inclined to him.

I can't offend Prince Yu's Mansion, but this is a battlefield. I am a civil servant, the highest official here, commanding an army. Even Prince Yu can't do anything to me. At worst, there is no hope of promotion in the future, but I must pass this hurdle, but It was just an order given to Yu Dayou.

When Yu Dayou heard Zhang Nian ordered him to continue to encircle and suppress the remnants of the rebels and hunt down Zhang Lian, although Yu Dayou felt unhappy, he felt that he had no chance to take it out. This was because Zhang Nian was helping Chen Wangmo, but there was nothing he could do.

The official level suppresses people to death. What can I do if I issue an order?

"I will obey my orders."

Yu Dayou had no choice but to bow and accept the order.

"General Yu's army has just arrived. I have a day off today. I will send someone to reward you with food and wine. We will set out tomorrow to capture the real Zhang Lian mentioned by General Yu as soon as possible."

Zhang Nian said this while staring at Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou felt tired at this moment. He had been put on the hook. It would be best to catch Zhang Lian, so that he could make up for the mistakes successfully. But if he didn't catch anyone, he would be in big trouble.

If there is news that this Zhang Lian is not the other Zhang Lian, Zhang Nie and Chen Wangmo will naturally be related, but then Zhang Nie can beat himself up, say that he failed to do his job well, and let Zhang Lian go.

He didn't know how to handle this general.

He was the one who said that the man was not Zhang Lian. He was now ordering him to suppress the thieves. There was nothing wrong with the order. It was also his duty to catch the real Zhang Lian. He might not be able to catch him, but he thought it was okay, but he was afraid of the worst.

What if you just didn't catch it?

After Yu Dayou clasped his fists, he resigned and left the Chinese army tent, returning to his military camp.

After Yu Dayou left, Chen Wangmo had already walked a few steps to the desk and said, "Sir, what should I do about this matter?"

"Block the news and prohibit anyone from approaching Zhang Lian from now on."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Nian added: "In a while, you will personally bring wine and meat to Yu Dayou's army, take Xiao Xuefeng and other prisoners into custody, and hold the soldiers around him alone for detailed interrogation to confirm the authenticity."

"grown ups."

Only then did Chen Wangmo look embarrassed, and he stopped talking.

"I know what you are thinking. Yu Dayou is 80% right. He was deceived by those thieves in the first place. He should have carefully screened them before reporting them."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhen said with regret, "Now we have to consider the aftermath, and we must not spread the matter out, as it will affect our career.

I'm going to stop Yu Dayou with words. If he can catch Zhang Lian, the matter will be settled easily. What I'm most afraid of is that there are no eyesights on the battlefield. Let's talk about it when the time comes.

Remember, all the prisoners will be screened again, and those who know Zhang Lian will be detained separately. As for how to deal with it, we will tell you when the time comes. You are personally responsible for this matter. "

"As commanded."

Chen Wangmo bowed and replied.

"Go ahead and collect everyone as soon as possible and lock them up."

Now, how to block the news is the top priority. Only by controlling the witnesses first, whether it is to silence them or something else, will the initiative be firmly in their own hands.

In fact, there is another worry in Zhang Nian's heart.

I had captured "Zhang Lian" in this battle, and the victory documents were sent to the Ministry of War. The news had spread, and the real Zhang Lian might have heard the news. Will he take the opportunity to hide himself?

If this is the case, the chance of capturing the real Zhang Lian will become slim. At that time, we can only find excuses to deal with the prisoners, and we must not leave any survivors alive.

Today he defeated Yu Dayou's army. He would naturally keep his mouth shut if he was sensible, even if he had Prince Yu's Mansion behind him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhen glanced at the merit list on the desk. It was handed over by Yu Dayou, a list of those who had made meritorious service in the army.

Originally, I wanted to keep most of the credit to myself, but now it seems that I need to give some away, so as to stop Yu Dayou's mouth.

After Yu Dayou entered his military camp, he immediately called the military sentry team to investigate.

"Immediately send out all the detective horses in your hand to find the whereabouts of the remaining rebels, especially the movements of Lin Chaoxi and other thieves' leaders."

Yu Dayou thought about it on the way back. Zhang Lian is now frightened. He is afraid that if the main force of his men is gathered together, only enough soldiers and horses will give him a sense of security.

Zhang Lian should be with his large team.

Now the main leaders of the rebels, Xiao Wan and Luo Pao, have been arrested, leaving only him and Lin Chaoxi.

As for the rebels' lair, it has been surrounded by the Ming army. Now I am not afraid of them breaking out. Where can they go?

After he has dealt with the rebels around him, he can go back and set the mountain on fire. He is not afraid that the remaining bandits will be bound if they don't surrender.

Yu Dayou has no intention of going to the top of the mountain to seize the stronghold. That will only result in the loss of men and horses, and his subordinates will be uneasy. It is better to kill them ruthlessly.

Under Zhang Nian's order, the Ming army stationed in Fujian took action again and began to hunt down the remnants of Zhang Lian's troops.

It is our duty to eradicate all evil. Even if the leader of the thieves is captured, other rebels will still be caught and punished. The morale of the Ming army in various places has greatly increased at this time, and the battlefields in various battlefields are experiencing rare victories, and good news continues for a while.

Xiyuan, Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing finally moved back to live here from Yuxi Palace. Staying in the brand-new palace, Emperor Jiajing was naturally in a good mood.

The good mood comes not only from moving into the new house, but also from the good news from Fujian.

But today, he summoned two cabinet ministers here, not to let them admire the new palace, but because he had already seen the regulations drawn up by the cabinet for the re-recording of the "Yongle Dadian" and would make a decision on the matter today.

For this re-recording ceremony, the cabinet recommended four general school officers and fifteen branch officers for the emperor's selection.

Looking at the memorials that had been opened on the imperial desk, looking at the names of the officials on it, Emperor Jiajing reached out and took out a red pen from the pen mountain, started to check after inking.

After several times in a row, the list has been determined, and this is the emperor.

Those officials, in order to have their names appear in that memorial, were constantly involved in activities, and in the end, he was still required to make the final decision.

Looking at the list he had checked, Emperor Jiajing did not issue an order immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. He felt that there was no need to modify it, and then said to Huang Jin who was standing beside him: "That's it."

"yes."

Huang Jin agreed, bowed down and took the memorandum from the royal desk, unfolded it in his hand, and muttered: "Edict, re-record the Yongle ceremony, and order Gao Gong, Zuo Chunfang, Zuo Yude of the Ministry of Rites, to read it to Qu Jingchun. Serve as the chief school officer,

Wei Guangde, who was promoted to the Secretary of the Economic Affairs Bureau, and Youzhong of Youchunfang, allowed Zhang Juzheng, who was in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Academy, to enter the library and register. Gong was still the minister and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Guangde was still a minister of the Imperial Academy and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. Yi Zhongyun was concurrently a minister of the Hanlin Academy,

The Hanlin Academy edited Ding Shimei and Xu Shixing, edited Lu Min, Wang Xilie, Zhang Siwei, and Tao Dalin, and reviewed Wu Keke and Ma Ziqiang to make them full school officials. "

After Huang Jin finished reading, he took a few steps to Xu Jie and handed it to him.

Zhang Juzheng was appointed by the emperor as the branch officer. Xu Jie's goal was achieved, but Wei Guangde was also added to share the credit, as was Gao Gong. Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he did not show it at all.

Thinking that the names of Yin Shizhen and Tang Ruji were not mentioned in the memorial, I was just slightly happy that the people from Prince Yu's palace had not taken up all the idle posts.

Originally, there were only two chief campus officers and ten branch branch officers. One of the chief campus officers and two branch branch officers came in to get their qualifications gold-plated. It was not bad. The nine of them should be able to complete the re-enrollment ceremony.

"The remaining 300 scribes will be selected by the Ministry of Rites in conjunction with Ministers Gao and Qu. The list will be submitted to the cabinet for approval, and the Director of Rites will approve it, so that they can start work as soon as possible."

Emperor Jiajing spoke again.

"According to the order."

Huang Jin, Xu Jie and Yuan Wei all bowed to accept the order.

Just when Xu Jie and Yuan Wei thought that today's summons was about to end, Emperor Jiajing suddenly spoke again: "There is one more thing that I have been thinking about for many days."

Hearing what the emperor said, Xu Jie and Yuan Wei were shocked. They didn't know if the one on the throne was trying to play another trick, so they both held their breath and listened carefully.

"The three main halls have been repeatedly rebuffed. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of their re-completion, I would like to change their names. I hope this will ensure the safety of the three main halls."

Emperor Jiajing said calmly.

It's just that these plain words didn't sound like thunder in the ears of Xu Jie, Yuan Wei, and even Huang Jin.

The emperor wants to change the names of the three main halls?

Why?

This is the question that emerged in the minds of the three people at the same time.

The three main halls are just standing there. Can changing their names keep them safe and prevent them from encountering fires again?

The names of the three main halls, Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall and Jinshen Hall, were personally decided by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Later, when Zhu Di, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing, the three main halls were rebuilt according to the Nanjing model, and the names were not changed.

Fengtian Hall is the "Jinluan Hall" in the mouth of the people. The meaning of "Fengtian" is based on the Confucian theory of destiny, which states that the emperor is ordered by heaven to rule all the people in the world, so the emperor is called the Son of Heaven. The ancient jade seal of the country is engraved with "ordered by the emperor" The eight words "Heaven will live long and live forever" also have the same meaning, and the fixed format at the beginning of the imperial edict "Heaven will carry the emperor" also means the same.

Huagai Hall is the name of the palace after Fengtian Hall. "Huagai" is one of the star officials in Chinese astronomy. It belongs to Ziwei Yuan and symbolizes aloofness, detachment and unattainable meaning.

Huagai is the name of a group of stars in Ziwei Yuan. A total of sixteen stars guard the Emperor Star like umbrellas. The celestial phenomena reflect the human world, so it is called this. Moreover, the name of the Forbidden City is also taken from Ziwei Yuan, which is the palace in the sky.

After the Huagai Hall is the Jinshen Hall. "Jin Shen" is to warn the emperor to strengthen his self-cultivation and always remind himself to reflect on himself, because every word and deed of the emperor is related to the life and death of all people in the world, so he must be cautious.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang decided on the names of the three main halls after careful consideration, but today, Emperor Jiajing actually wants to change the names of the three main halls.

How does this work?

The news spread to the outer court. If the courtiers knew about it, they didn't know how they would make a fuss.

Although they wanted to object in their hearts, the emperor had not finished speaking after all, and it was difficult for them to talk for the time being.

In front of the emperor, they could not speak casually without His Majesty's permission. They could only wait for Emperor Jiajing to finish speaking.
