Chapter 132 Foresight

Logically speaking, all memorials should follow the process of the Emperor's Cabinet and Chief Secretary for Lectures and Supervisors, but because the Yansui Governor's Yamen is a key yamen on three sides, the memorials actually skipped the Emperor's Yamen, the cabinet and Chief Secretary for Lectures and Supervisors, and presented them directly to the Emperor.??

That must be a big deal!

Xie Qian asked, "Can you know what happened yesterday?"

Li Dongyang shook his head slightly: "It will take Wu Chao to learn about it. Yu Qiao, I look at the memorials you have drawn up in all reasonable ways. It seems that I have made hard work. I think I have not rested yesterday until now, so I will take advantage of the Wu Chao to go back to my room to rest and keep my energy in mind!"

The words were sincere, so much that Xie Qian was at a loss.

Xie Qian was a little confused. I wonder if Li Dongyang was talking and sarcasticating him. He replied: "I'm not sleepy, but the state affairs are in a tight position."

Xie Qian thought that I just submitted a memorial to "stop the war" the day before yesterday. If Binzhi learned that I was looking for Chen Xi to replace the ticket today, I would have no face to stay in the cabinet again. However, whoever wants to sit in this position, Wang Jiao, Liang Chu, Wang Hua and others, just arrange for him to take charge.

Xie Qian "abandoned himself", sat down after returning to his desk, picked up a memoir on the table, opened it and saw that he was shocked.

This memorial was a document from three sides. Because the content seemed irrelevant, it was postponed for two days without a ticket to be sent to the Silijian, but it was placed in the most conspicuous position by Chen Xi.

The memorial mentioned that there have been frequent migrants in the northwest recently, and they are said to be herders from northern tribes. They asked the court to find a way to resettle them, otherwise they would treat them with the north and seize them as slaves.

Liu Daxia's comment on this was to submit a memorial to the court, asking the emperor to decide because Liu Daxia wanted the emperor to absorb the Tatar herders and place them in a place to demonstrate the power of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Because the number of immigrants was not large, only the Tongzheng Envoy Department did not pay attention to it, but even the three-sided Governor's Office itself did not regard it as a document that should be immediately requested to receive a reply from the emperor, so the memorial was allowed to stay in the cabinet for two days.

Originally, I didn't think it was just about reading the content of the review, but the handwriting of the ticket drafted by Chen Xi was exactly the same as Xie Qian, which was his first surprise.

Xie Qian's first thought was: "When did Chenxi learn my handwriting, and it was still so vivid? Could it be that I wrote it myself when I was sleepy and confused, rather than the title of Chenxi's child?"

But after the above content, Xie Qian was sure that he had never written such a ticket: "...The frequent herdsmen traveling south were caused by abnormal movements in the northern army. The three sides should strictly prevent the invasion of the barbarians in the south. I am here to obey!"

Xie Qian thought slightly, this vote was shocking enough. He actually went south from the northern herders and found that the Tatars might turn passive into active and invade the border of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xi wrote the ticket very straightforwardly and explained the truth very clearly, which can be understood by everyone... The content of the memorial itself is insignificant, but what is hidden behind it is the great movements of the Tatars.

Xie Qian couldn't understand how Chen Xi judged it, nor did he know why Chen Xi imitated his handwriting.

Xie Qian continued to read several memorials, without exception, Chen Xi imitated his handwriting and wrote the bills, with detailed contents and did not use some common rhetorics of the cabinet ministers to deal with the matter.

Xie Qian thought to himself: "It's really hard to do this kid. He didn't teach him some basic rules, and he did it so well! Did he read it one by one night and made a ticket plan every one? Is it enough for one night?"

"Yu Qiao, what are you looking at?" Li Dongyang was originally looking through the memorial that Xie Qianzhao had drafted. Seeing that Xie Qian looked a little unusual, he asked.

Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang and felt guilty instinctively, but at this moment he suddenly reacted: "Cheng Xi's child wrote the tickets written by me in my handwriting. Brother Binzhi must have been reviewing all the memorials when I stayed up late. How could I be so panicked?"

Xie Qian took the top memorial book that Chen Xi put on, and sent it to Li Dongyang, saying, "Brother Bin, look at this memorial book!"

"Report?" Li Dongyang frowned slightly.

During the Ming Dynasty, the official matters were used for the memorials, and the so-called official matters were used for the memorials. However, the so-called official matters book was just not mixed with personal opinions, or had few personal opinions on local customs, natural disasters, tax expenses, appointment and removal status of officials in the yamen office, etc. The private matters book was used in most memorials. For example, if you ask the emperor for any matter, you only wrote memorials in the name of the emperor.

Li Dongyang took the memorial and saw the content mentioned above, which was a question about the resettlement of herdsmen from the south.

This memorial was put on hold for granted. The emperor had no intention of taking care of these things after he had recovered from a serious illness. Even if he was in charge, what does it matter if those Beiyi herders who were not even considered to be ** in the eyes of the tyrants of the Celestial Kingdom?

If Liu Daxia hadn't felt that this was a way to conquer the Tatars' hearts, he would have never let the second official report report report, but would have directly decided to give these herdsmen a slave. However, this report inadvertently mentioned the movements of some nomads and the fact that most herdsmen were plundered. In Shen Xi's view, this was a signal that the Tatars were ready to take the initiative.

Chen Xi believed that the Tatar herders were plundered by "his own people". They were unwilling to accept that they were not sure what the superiors were going to do, so they directly "abandon the dark and turned to the light" and defected to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Dongyang asked, "Yu Qiao, I'm afraid you're a big deal. The northwest is calm and the soldiers of our dynasty have not yet attacked. The Tatars are too busy to take the initiative to fight? If the Tatars are plundering the people and fleeing north in order to prevent our dynasty, it can be explained!"

"Are you going to know the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, scouts and countless whistle detectives at my border, and you can't even notice the movements of the Tatars?"

Li Dongyang's words were very convincing. If Xie Qian hadn't seen it, he used his handwriting to write to show that this was a sign of the Tatars going south, he would probably agree with Li Dongyang's remarks.

In order to prepare for war, the intelligence system followed up quickly and sent so many scouts to the grassland to investigate. If the Tatars had any abnormal movements, it would be impossible to hide the Ming Dynasty's spies.

The information I received before was five hundred miles north from the three sides. Except for a few tribes, there were no traces of the Tatar tribe. When Xie Qian saw this instinctive reaction, he also felt that the appearance of these herders was because his tribe was about to move north and they were unwilling to leave, so he defected to the Tatars and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Qian said: "Brother Binzhi, it is better to report this matter to Your Majesty. If the Tatars really raise their troops to go south and I have no way to guard against the border, wouldn't it be... very dangerous?"

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly on his face. Xie Qian did not tell him the reason for writing this ticket, but just asked him to present it to the emperor, which made him feel a little unreasonable.

However, Li Dongyang arrived at the cabinet early in the morning and had been sitting for about an hour. Hemorrhoids were unknowingly caused by hemorrhoids. He didn't want to sit and make him feel uncomfortable. By chance, he nodded and said, "I'll go to the Ganqing Palace with Yu Qiao, and find out what your Majesty has to do today's afternoon!"

As the second assistant to the cabinet, Li Dongyang's political awareness was slightly stronger than Xie Qian. What Li Dongyang thought was that Emperor Hongzhi held the Wu Dynasty for no reason and should find an excuse to meet the emperor.

If the emperor has any inconvenient words in the afternoon, such as suggestion, please be exempted, talk about the title, etc., they will test the words and stand up when the emperor is in a dilemma and solve the difficulties.

As a minister of the cabinet, you must have this kind of vision and know when you should ask the emperor for instructions and help the emperor take responsibility and share his worries.

Xie Qian said that he wanted to present the memorial directly to the emperor, which happened to be a reason that was not a reason, so the two hit it off and headed towards the direction of the Ganqing Palace.

...

...

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the gentleman of Emperor Hongzhi. They are highly respected. They went to the Qing Palace in person. Even if they did not comply with the rules, someone would report it.

Zhu Youting did not stay on his sickbed at this time, but was on the seat of the main hall of the Ganqing Palace, as if he was handling official duties. After a period of recuperation, Emperor Hongzhi was a little better, but he still coughed continuously. When Li Dongyang and Xie Qian arrived, they heard the heavy breathing sound of Emperor Hongzhi coming from inside.

Xiao Jing came out and said, "Two masters, you guys are..."

"If you have something to do, tell Your Majesty." Li Dongyang said.

"Why!"

Xiao Jing was a little embarrassed, "Two Masters, you have also heard that Your Majesty is in good health. When something happened to the northwest, Your Majesty was anxious. Now he is in bad health. After you go in, you must comfort Your Majesty so that Your Majesty doesn't have to work too much!"

Originally, Li Dongyang did not take Xie Qian's report seriously. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xie Qian and thought to himself: "Is it a prophecy that the Tatars really invaded the territory and went south?"

Li Dongyang really couldn't imagine that there would be something big in the northwest that made the emperor so anxious. The news before was reported that it was not that the Ming Dynasty was strong and the army was strong, and he just waited for the troops to be sent and returned in triumphant success.

Li Dongyang wanted to ask Xiao Jing, but Xiao Jing asked a few words and hurried back. Li Dongyang and Xie Qian had to follow him into the hall.

Before the two of them bowed, Zhu Youzhang raised his head and said, "It turned out to be two gentlemen. Since we are going to Wu Dynasty today... why did we come early?"

Xie Qian was about to talk about his opinion, but Li Dongyang took the lead: "Your Majesty, in the previous day's memorial, the cabinet noticed that the content of the memorial was somewhat strange, and it was a sign that the northern invaders went south to invade the border. Please read it!"

Xie Qian looked at Li Dongyang curiously... Don't you believe that this matter is true? Why haven't I said anything yet, you have made a conclusion on this matter first?

Li Dongyang's seemingly rash advice was actually to regain the emperor's distrust of the cabinet. He is now trying to prevent the Tatars from committing the border. However, the cabinet learned about the content of the memorial in advance and analyzed the problem, but did not report the memorial in time. Then the emperor's think tank would be incompetent.

Now, no matter whether the Tatars commit the border or not, they must report this memorial. After birth, it can be said that the cabinet has a prediction, which is "foresight", because even if the memorial appears two days ago, it is not time to convey the three sides, and things will still be born. If not, it is to prevent problems before they happen, and the cabinet has no fault.

When Zhu Youzhe heard this, his face turned cold: "Is this really the case? Let's report it to me!"

Zhu Youxi originally thought that Li Dongyang would send a memorial, but the final memorial was taken out of Xie Qian's arms. (To be continued.)8
