The system of Jingyan is mainly composed of learned people such as Hanlin, Shangshu, and bachelors, who make up lessons and give lectures to the emperor who is busy with everything. Yang Fan is not qualified to participate in such a high-level meeting. Only Hanlin can accompany the emperor to study.
They are all cabinet ministers and bachelors.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, those who are not Jinshi will not be admitted to the Imperial Academy, and those who are not Hanlin will not be admitted to the Cabinet.
The real Jinshi is actually Jinshi and the third person. In addition, the Jinshi background is given.
Note that the second grade has the word "ci", which means that the emperor rewards you. The third grade is even worse. If you are from the same Jinshi background, it means the emperor pities you, and to reward you is equivalent to being a Jinshi. If you are from the same Jinshi background, it is not called a Jinshi.
If you pass the top three in the imperial examination, you will be a third-class person. If you enter the Hanlin Academy or stay in the central government to observe political training, don't have any wishful thinking. Just find a remote place and become a county magistrate.
In the eyes of civilian officials, a military general like Yang Fan is inferior to a dog. How could he be qualified to participate in such an important academic activity?
No, when Qi Jiguang wrote a letter to Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the dynasty, he called himself "Qi, the little lackey under the sect." Yang Fan still doesn't dare to compare with Qi Shaobao, so he feels sorry for not being able to participate in such high-level academic activities.
Very balanced.
Although the Ming Dynasty currently knows the Mongols best about him.
After the lectures on the Four Books and Five Classics were given in the morning at the Wenhua Hall, the emperor gave a banquet at noon.
This is a rare honor, and the Ming Dynasty is very humane. In addition to eating, you can also take some food back to your wife and children. It is an extra favor from His Majesty.
At this time, there was an upright clock purchased from Xinghe Supermarket in the Wenhua Hall. At one o'clock in the afternoon, the lecture on the northwest issue officially began.
People participating in lectures and studies came in one after another, including all Hanlin bachelors and six bachelors. In the Ming Dynasty, the Wenhuadian bachelors were not used as ministers for a long time, and only five were officially used. That is, the Huagaidian bachelors (reformed in Jiajing)
Grand Bachelor of Zhongji Palace), Grand Bachelor of Jinshen Palace (Grand Bachelor of Jianji Palace in Jiajing Reform), Grand Bachelor of Wuying Palace, Grand Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Grand Bachelor of Dongge Palace.
These bachelors are all members of the cabinet. But on the contrary, cabinet ministers are not necessarily all bachelors. As long as they bring the title of "Wenyuan Pavilion to participate in machine maintenance", they are still cabinet ministers. In the late Ming Dynasty, sometimes there were many cabinet ministers.
The title of Grand Bachelor is not enough. One title may be held by many people. For example, there are several Grand Bachelors of Dongge.
Everyone stood left and right according to their official rank.
Then, the emperor came, but behind him was an old man, which surprised everyone.
The first assistant Li Biao and the second assistant Qian Longxi looked at each other. They were very surprised. The emperor summoned Sun Chengzong back. When did this happen? How come there was no news at all.
After Chongzhen accepted the worship of the ministers, he sat down on the temporary throne and said: "I have lectured for a long time this morning. My ministers and ministers are very tired. This afternoon I just want to hear about my governance in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.
Just listen to the story, there is no need to be so serious."
He turned to Wang Chengen and said, "Give me a table. Everyone is sitting and listening. I am also sitting."
The ministers shouted long live. The Sutra banquet was very serious and the rules were very strict. Since ancient times, only the emperor could sit and listen, and everyone else had to stand.
But the banquet usually ends in the morning, and the afternoon is temporarily arranged by the emperor. The main reason is that troops will be sent to the northwest soon. The cabinet and ministers are allowed to familiarize themselves with the situation in the northwest to facilitate decision-making.
Chongzhen sat cross-legged on the throne. The eunuchs also brought in many mats, and the ministers also sat cross-legged facing each other. Then the maids brought fruits and tea.
Today’s speaker is Sun Chengzong.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand. The current cabinet is all new this year, and they don’t know much about the evolution and history of the imperial court. Today, if the emperor wants to hear about the northwest issues, he really needs to find someone who is familiar with the border situation and is also a long-term central government official.
A serving veteran.
Only such people can understand the ins and outs of many decisions and the various reasons behind a series of major historical events. Only then can the northwest issues be explained clearly.
Looking around the current Ming Dynasty court, the most suitable candidate is Sun Chengzong, the teacher of Emperor Tianqi, who has served as a bachelor and governor of Jiliao for several times. He understands both politics and military affairs.
At the same time, he has lived in the central government for a long time and has served as a cabinet minister many times. He is the most suitable candidate.
Sun Chengzong, who was highly respected and a senior from Donglin, was about to give a lecture, and there was a sudden silence below.
"Today I will mainly talk about the relationship between Mongolia and Qinghai-Tibet, as well as the spread of Lamaism in Mongolia. Only by understanding this issue can we clearly understand the intricacies of the different ethnic groups, tribes, religions, and princely lineages in the northwest today.
"In the end, we can evaluate the use of troops to the northwest and the problems Dingyuan Bo will encounter. This will serve as the basis for cabinet decisions." Sun Chengzong cleared his throat and said slowly.
In fact, on the border of the Ming Dynasty, everyone is most familiar with the Donglu, that is, the slaves. The second is Monan Mongolia, which fought with the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. The others are not well understood.
As for Northwest, I am even more blind.
Since its establishment, the Ming Dynasty has deployed troops on a large scale and carried out many conquests in the northern Mongolian Plateau and the northeastern region. Until the Chenghua Dynasty, it went deep into the Songhua River Basin three times to sweep holes and clear out the Jurchens.
But in the northwest and Qinghai-Tibet regions, the policy has been conservative from the beginning, basically not leaving Jiayuguan. Qinghai-Tibet has never sent troops or stationed troops. It is basically a nominal subjugation and a tributary relationship.
In the early Ming Dynasty, due to the strong military power of the Ming Dynasty, pilgrims and tributes were still maintained in the Qinghai-Tibet region. In the later period, even superficial relations gradually became unable to be maintained.
"After the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty basically withdrew from the Qinghai-Tibet area and huddled in the area north of the Gobi. Taizu sent envoys to recruit the tribes in the northwest. In the third year of Hongwu (1370), the Ming army captured Gansu and cut off Mongolia and Qinghai-Tibet.
Therefore, various ministries in Qinghai and Tibet expressed their submission to the Ming Dynasty. Our dynasty then carried out large-scale canonization activities in Qinghai and nominally inherited the Yuan Dynasty’s management of Qinghai. From this time on, Qinghai Tibet was nominally under our control.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chongzhen nodded, he knew this history. The third year of Hongwu was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty merging Qinghai-Tibet into its territory.
Sun Chengzong continued: "In the Qinghai area, we consecrated He Suonanpu, the Tubo Xuanwei envoy from the former Yuan Dynasty, as the commanding envoy of Duo Gandu. Qinghai was thus pacified."
"Tibet at that time was ruled by the Pazhu regime. The leader of the Pazhu dynasty was called "Dixi" and mainly believed in the Kagyu sect. In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), the Ming Dynasty canonized the second generation of Pazhu Sakya Dishe
Gyaltsen was appointed as the "Initiation Master". Shangzang was thus pacified."
"In the Ngari area, the Guge dynasty sent people to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty in the early sixth year of Hongwu (1373). Taizu then ennobled Guge as the Oris Military and Civilian Marshal's Mansion. Lower Tibet was pacified."
"To the west of Jiayuguan, to the south of Hami and Hami, to the north and east of Lop Nur. There are many Mongolian tribes in this triangular area. These tribes were the princes of the Yuan Dynasty who defected from the Chagatai Khanate to the Yuan Dynasty during the Yuan Dynasty. They were defeated by Kublai Khan
They were placed in the area west of Jiayuguan and were managed by the Marshal Beiting Palace. After the Ming Dynasty pacified Gansu, these princes accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty. By the Yongle period, seven guards were canonized west of Jiayuguan, collectively known as the "Seven Guards of Guanxi".
".
The descendants of this group of people are the main residents of the Bayingol Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, which today accounts for a quarter of Xinjiang's area.
Sun Chengzong saw that everyone listened clearly and had no doubts, so he continued: "The four major territories of Qinghai, Shangzang, Lower Zang, and Guanxi Qiwei were the basic control areas of the northwest at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. All of them were Mi system.
The Ming Dynasty did not have any garrison troops or soldiers. However, through the system of canonization and tribute, the influence of the Mongols on the northwest was completely eliminated."
Chongzhen asked: "How did the Mongols later get mixed up with the Tibetans again, resulting in the current complex intertwining of ethnic groups and religions?"
