In the Imperial City, in the Sheji Altar on the west side of Chengtian Gate, the lights in a room stayed on all night.
The whole night, Tie Xuan couldn't let himself fall asleep.
However, when a new day arrived, Tie Xuan, who had put on his court uniform early, showed no signs of fatigue on his face, but was in high spirits.
Under the guidance of the palace servant who had arrived earlier, Tie Xuan came out from Taishe Jitan and even to the front of Huagai Hall.
The country's court meeting is very early, and officials will enter the palace before dawn to participate in discussions on important national military and political affairs.
When Tie Xuan walked to the front of the Huagai Hall, officials from various palaces in the capital were attending a court meeting.
It could be heard in the gap that it was still Crown Prince Zhu Biao who was presiding over the court meeting today.
Tie Xuan stood on the side of the palace door with his hands clasped together, his eyes naturally lowered and looking at the bright gold bricks.
Listening to the commotion in Huagai Hall, they are currently discussing matters after the Shanxi Dao rebellion.
The imperial court wants to send enough officials to fill the official vacancies on Shanxi Road in the spring of next year before the Emperor Taisun's northern patrol leaves for the border pass.
What about the public examination in the spring, the selection of candidates in the court, and the examination at the end of the year?
Disputes like this always hide the true intention of placing people from all sides on Shanxi Road.
Tie Xuan just stood outside the palace gate quietly.
Thinking back to yesterday's discussion with Xie Jin at the book and newspaper bureau, I finally understood his reasons at that time.
If you are in the court, you will probably have to face these arguments and battles one after another every day.
Even if you are a united front, there are always different people following you, and these people always have their own benefits.
Go to Jiubian.
Go and create a pattern for the Ming Dynasty that is unprecedented in Jie Jin's mouth.
Tie Xuan gradually determined his direction.
"Scholar Iron, the prince calls in."
Just as Tie Xuan was thinking about how to implement measures if he went to Jiubian, a palace eunuch walked out from behind the palace door and came to him, bowing and nodding in a very respectful manner.
This is a new member of the imperial court, and he will be reused when he returns to Beijing.
Inside and outside the palace, there had been countless discussions since yesterday, wondering whether Rentu, who had returned from Yingzhou, would take on any important position in the court.
Tie Xuan nodded slightly: "Thank you."
After saying this, he followed the eunuch into the Huagai Palace.
Inside the palace.
Everything you see is red robes, few are green robes, and no green clothes are seen.
This is the parliament of the real power holders of the Ming Dynasty.
Tie Xuan steadily arrived in front of the temple, clasped his hands around the wat board, and knelt down.
"I am the Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian Palace, the Left Minister of the Ministry of War, the deputy general who leads the Eastern Expedition Army, and I would like to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The canopy was silent.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked sideways at the Yingzhou native Tu in front of them.
Above the imperial steps and under the throne, there is a high chair without sculptures or sculptures.
Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, is wearing a prince's dragon robe and looking ahead.
See Tie Xuan and pay homage.
A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face: "Dingshi traveled across the sea by boat, thousands of miles away, and made great contributions to the country. Get up quickly."
Tie Xuan replied sternly: "My lord, thank you for your kindness."
Zhu Biao looked at the capable and steady Tie Xuan, and sincerely liked this minister who could be said to have worked hard to create the four ways of Yingzhou in the Ming Dynasty.
He said cheerfully: "Gu vaguely remembers that when Dingshi left Beijing, he was not so dark. Now he is a lot darker and a little thinner, but he looks more capable and steady.
Dingshi has made a great contribution to the country's current status in the four areas of Yingzhou. When I return to the capital, I should use my power to control the affairs of the country and protect the country."
The Crown Prince made a sound.
Today's Shanxi Road issues are not important. The left and right are just sending those people to fill official vacancies.
The most important thing at the moment is to arrange the new errand of the meritorious minister Tiedingshi.
Xu Huizu, the Grand Master of Wuyingdian Palace, who was assigned to Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Duke of Wei State, walked out from the front of the Wuchen class train.
He is the commander-in-chief of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and as the first person in the military cabinet, he has already developed a majestic look.
However, Xu Huizu glanced at Tie Xuan with admiration, and then clasped his fists toward the steps: "Your Highness, you don't know. When the four Yingzhou roads were established, there were fewer rebellions and more obedient people than when the Jiaozhi Road was first established.
The more, the greater the output.
The great situation in the four Yingzhou provinces was all due to Tie Xuan's administration.
Regarding the military strategy of the imperial court in Yingzhou, Cao Guogong could be the person who determined the affairs of the world, but under the affairs of the world, it was Tie Xuan who managed all matters day by day and promoted the prestige of our Ming Dynasty.
I believe that Tie Xuan has the ability to manage the country and the ability to understand the world. He is unparalleled in the government and in the field, and is rarely surpassed by anyone inside or outside the court.
The minister recommends that the country should make great use of such a capable minister, and should not bury him or confine him to one place."
Xu Huizu's voice was not too loud, but his background as a warrior made his voice echo in the Huagai Hall.
He is the Governor-General of the Metropolitan Government, a bachelor of the cabinet, and the commander-in-chief of millions of troops in the Ming Dynasty.
Before the four chief officials took up their posts, it can be said that all matters concerning the four Yingzhou Dao were under the responsibility of the former Dudufu and later the Grand Dudufu.
Xu Huizu's speech undoubtedly represents the military's affirmation of Tie Xuan.
Zhu Biao nodded: "I also have this intention. The imperial court has always been informal in employing people, and it is more important to treat ministers who have meritorious service. Dingshi has great merit and has talents in running the country. The imperial court should discuss them together and not let them go unused."
This is to ask the court to discuss where Tie Xuan should be an official.
The appointment of important officials and officials in the imperial court has always been decided through court discussions and holy judgments.
There was gradually a discussion in the court hall.
Nowadays, after two years of filling in the various ministries and departments of the DPRK and Central Government, there are no more vacancies.
And as soon as Tie Xuan returned to Beijing yesterday, he was awarded the title of Bachelor of Wuyingdian.
After all, everyone knows that the palace probably intends to have Tie Xuan join the cabinet.
With Gao Yangzhi, the youngest cabinet minister in the empire, taking the lead, it is no longer a big deal for Tie Xuan to join the cabinet again.
The newly promoted cabinet minister, Zhai Shan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, walked out of the train with a smile on his face.
He is happy to do things that go along with the flow.
"Your Highness, I believe that Tie Xuan's talents can only be put to use in the cabinet. Only by receiving cabinet responsibilities and being in charge of the Jingwei and Chaotang departments can he show his talents and make good use of them."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiping Hou Muying, who had just led troops back to Beijing from Henan Province in the past few days, finally began to perform what he should do as a bachelor of Wuyingdian and a cabinet minister.
After Xu Huizu, Mu Ying waved her robe and went out to work.
"Your Highness, why don't you ask Iron Scholar what he is thinking?"
Mu Ying's return to Beijing was very low-key and did not attract many people's attention. She did not speak at the recent court meetings. She always stayed in the cabinet to assist Xu Huizu in handling military affairs according to the rules, and coordinated with the governor's office and various departments in the court.
The operation of the Yamen.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the court reacted.
Later in the court, there was another person speaking.
After Mu Ying finished speaking, she nodded silently.
Although he is a cabinet minister, he also has the status of a relative of the emperor. This is why he does not like to speak in court and only does what he should do in the cabinet.
But today, Tie Xuan obviously had his own plans.
What's more important is that the look in the eyes of Xie Jin, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace and a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, who was just across from him, made Mu Ying decide to stand up.
As Mu Ying finished speaking, Xie Jin immediately left work.
"Your Highness, what Xipinghou said is not unreasonable. I also feel that I should ask Tie Xuan what he means first."
Xu Huizu and Mu Ying, who were standing in front, silently turned their heads and looked sideways at Tu Tiexuan, who was being watched by everyone.
There are many voices in the military now.
The most important thing is the desire and requirement for military glory.
Two county kings are about to appear in the Eastern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, which will have a great impact on other armies.
Losing military morale is not a good thing, but high military morale has also made the Metropolitan Governor's Office feel more pressure recently.
Although the local army did not say so clearly, the military reports sent to the capital were all directed at the governor's office.
They want military glory.
Among them, the hundreds of thousands of troops from Jiubian were the most important.
At present, the generals in the army don't even have to bother to talk about serving the country and protecting the country. The soldiers below are thirsty for war. They wish they could get the military order today and rush into the depths of the grassland that night.
The yurts were set on fire, and all the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty that were taller than the wheels were slaughtered.
The empire has been kidnapped.
Inadvertently, he was kidnapped by the invisible and unorganized army.
No one knows that the most confidential archives in the Metropolitan Governor have already contained several military action plans targeting the Nine Borders, which range from Shanhaiguan in the east to Yangguan in the west.
Tie Xuan, who has just returned to Beijing, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate and the best person to break the situation now.
He had just returned to Beijing, had great achievements, and was familiar with how to plot in foreign lands.
He is the most suitable candidate.
Zhu Biao looked at Tie Xuan silently: "Ding Shi, what do you think?"
"I am a subordinate, and everything is decided by the superiors." Tie Xuan spoke in a deep voice, and continued without pausing: "However, I think that I am a lazy person, and that everything in the temple is delicate and complicated, and I may not be able to take on the responsibility.
"
Zhu Biao smiled: "If you were lazy, Yingzhou would not be in such a situation now."
The prince laughed, and the ministers in the court also laughed silently.
It is almost impossible to find any living Japanese in Yingzhou now. Even if there are, they are Japanese girls selected to serve the garrison.
Otherwise, how did he get the name Tiexuan Rentu?
Zhai Shan, who was the first to open his mouth and try to push things along, blinked and then realized that he seemed to have thought something wrong.
Tie Xuan clearly does not want to serve in the cabinet.
He couldn't help but look at Ren Hengtai, the chief minister of the cabinet not far away.
Ren Hengtai felt a little helpless. Ever since he knew that Tie Xuan was going to report to the court today and select officials for appointment, he had been feeling a sigh of relief in his chest.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, he didn't know about those voices in the military.
But Ren Hengtai was also helpless.
Probably, this is the inevitable situation since His Highness Taisun said on that increasingly hot rugby field that he wanted to resume the Qin Fa Army's meritorious service.
As a cabinet minister and in charge of the cabinet, how could he stop the arrangement made by Xie Jin and others under his nose?
The army cannot be in chaos.
The millions of Ming troops who stabilized the world of the Ming Dynasty could not be disrupted.
Once chaos breaks out, the Ming Dynasty will suddenly fall into dire straits, and the world will once again experience the chaos of thirty years ago.
"Your Highness, I thought Iron Scholar could go to the nine directions."
Ren Hengtai just thought about it briefly, then slowly walked out of the train and spoke loudly.
As the chief assistant spoke, a small amount of surprise appeared in the hall.
Is this Shou Fu's suppression of Tie Xuan?
There are already many people in the cabinet. If more people are added, some power will inevitably be taken away from Ren Hengtai, who is the chief minister.
For just a moment, the first thing these people thought was that Ren Hengtai was preventing Tie Xuan from entering the cabinet.
Ren Hengtai didn't care at all.
He continued: "His Royal Highness Taisun is currently on a tour of the north, and will probably not be able to return to Beijing until the middle of next year. If... I'm afraid this time will be delayed even further.
But in the cabinet, Gao Chunfeng accompanied him on his journey and could not return for a long time.
The New Deal is now in full swing in the DPRK. Gao Chunfeng has been in charge of the Three Law Departments and has not returned for a long time. The cabinet is functioning slowly and is delayed, fearing that there will be changes in the New Deal.
The veteran thought that Academician Tie had been in Yingzhou for a long time and was well versed in military and political affairs in foreign lands. It would be more suitable for him to accompany Gao Chunfeng when he went to Jiubian.
If His Highness Taisun returns to the capital, the imperial court can also add Iron Scholars with nine-border military and political authority to visit the border in person to take charge of all affairs, coordinate all parties, and liaise with the court."
Zhu Biao was a little surprised that Ren Hengtai would say these words for Tie Xuan at this time.
Xie Jin was equally surprised, and Xu Huizu and Mu Ying silently looked at the chief assistant, Ren Hengtai.
Just a few people's thoughts are completely different.
Zhu Biao was also confused.
As the chief assistant, Ren Hengtai said this time that he would recommend Tie Xuan to go to Jiubian. What was the reason?
He, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, doesn't want to add new people to the cabinet?
Or does the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty think that Tie Xuan is really suitable to go to Jiubian?
As the crown prince of the empire.
Zhu Biao must consider the real intention behind every word said by each minister.
If Ren Hengtai cannot tolerate others, then the role of his chief assistant will need to be reconsidered by the palace.
If you think Teohyun is suitable to go to Jiubian.
So……
Zhu Biao's eyes were focused on Tie Xuan again.
Tie Xuan looked calm, but raised his arms and clasped his hands together: "My lord, I am willing to go to establish the nine borders for the dynasty, expand the territory, and build the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for all generations!"
Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed.
He never thought that Tie Xuan would agree so quickly.
I just came back from Yingzhou, so I was so willing to go to Jiubian and other bitter and cold places.
What made Zhu Biao even more unexpected was Tie Xuan's last words.
Zhu Biao's eyes gradually became deeper.
His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest under his palm.
A low voice came down from the steps.
After a long time, Zhu Biao closed his eyes slightly.
"I agree. The imperial court will issue a decree later. When Tie Qing is recuperating in the capital, he will go north to where the emperor's grandson is."
Tie Xuan's eyes were calm, he waved his official robe gently, and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, thank you for accepting the decree."
