In the early morning of that day, the imperial envoy Yin Zhongyue suddenly impeached the Gansu military commander, Zuodudu, Pingqiang general, and Xininghou Song Sheng in the Golden Palace for stealing authority and being domineering. [] Emperor Yongle was furious and shouted sternly
He reprimanded him and said: "If you allow others to be uneasy, you will not succeed. Minister Kuang was ordered to enforce the border, so how can he enforce the law? I am in harmony with the emperor and ministers of Song Sheng, and we know each other and trust each other. Anyone who slanders and alienates us will be severely punished!"
Yin Zhongyue's face turned pale, and he retreated. Emperor Yongle immediately forwarded Yin Zhongyue's impeachment memorial to Song Sheng intact, and issued an edict to him on the matter. The edict said: "The imperial censor reported that you are good at it, and this is the official position."
He is responsible for his duties, but he is not familiar with the affairs. If a general is not expert, his achievements will not be accomplished. Since I have ordered you to supervise the border areas, if there is an advantage, I will do it immediately and report it later.
Since ancient times, wise kings have appointed generals and followed this method. Loyal ministers serve the king only when it comes to national affairs, regardless of details. What’s more, I know you very well, and I entrust you with important tasks. I hope that you will dedicate yourself to border affairs, be consistent, and make achievements."
Immediately, Yu Shiji, the imperial envoy, impeached Jiayuguan, Shandan Guard, Zuo Dan Guard, Fei Xi, Liang Bin, and Duanmu were sad to interact with outsiders. Some of them were sent away for eight miles, and merchants from Hara Huozhou who left the customs were allowed to stay.
If the leader of a tribe outside the pass lives in the pass for a long time, Emperor Yongle will immediately issue four edicts to deal with it.
The first edict was sent to Fei Xi, the guard of Jiayu Pass, and he severely reprimanded: "There is no diplomacy between ministers and ministers, which is a famous prohibition in ancient times. Emperor Taizu Gao declared that this prohibition is the most severe. When Hu Weiyong passed through Japan, it harmed his family. You didn't know it
Are you self-reflecting? Now you are guarding the border, but you are addicted to profiteering and allow traders to enter and exit the pass as if they were entering an uninhabited land. You are the guard of the country. How dare you indulge in the border defense and get to this point? I will be dismissed from my post, return to the capital, and find another place."
Another edict was sent to Liang Bin, the commander of Shandan Guard, saying: "Guarding against bandits is like a dog guarding against thieves. What's the point of fighting dogs with thieves? In the past, the king of Shan Dan guarded Beijing for more than ten years, but he never sent a single person out of the fortress. At that time,
Nothing happens in the border area. The king of the mountain also enjoys endless wealth and honor. If you can follow my instructions, the border area will be safe and your wealth will last forever. Now I have sinned against you. If you don't change your past, you will regret it!"
Another edict was sent to Zuo Danwei Duanmu Sad: "As for the surrender of external chiefs, they should be sent to the court for resettlement, or reported to the court, and resettled according to the order. How dare you make your own decisions? The ministers have no diplomacy. Although they are on the border.
Generals, unless they are in an emergency or are ordered to act expediently, they should abide by the common law and should not make their own decisions. Now I will forgive you for your mistakes and demote you to a lower level. If you don't correct your mistakes, you will regret it!"
The last edict was sent to Song Sheng, the Pingqiang general: "The imperial court prohibits servants from communicating with foreign barbarians. It is not lax. Those who come back to do business in recent years are often sent out of the country by soldiers from various places in Liangzhou, and some are not allowed to stay.
Those who leak border affairs in Bali, Harahuozhou and other places are not strict here. I have sent the supervisory censor to inspect. You should check yourself and strictly restrain yourself. If there is any violation, you will not be punished."
Immediately, more than ten envoys led by Huang Zhen, the imperial envoy of the Qiandu, and Yin Zhongyue, the imperial envoy of the Qiandu, who had just returned to the capital from Liaodong, rushed to Gansu to enforce strict military discipline.
Before leaving, Emperor Yongle personally summoned Huang Zhen and Yin Zhongyue, and taught them earnestly: "Not all generals may be available everywhere, and the purpose of the imperial censors' patrols around the world is to inspect officials. But I heard that some imperial envoys
When you get to the place, just go to the mansion and sit down, summon all the monks and common people to ask questions, and take it as evidence. How can you get the truth through such an investigation? When you go, you must personally visit the people and conduct strict inspections. You must not just
Ask verbally."
The two imperial envoys of Qiandu only agreed and immediately bid farewell to the emperor's palace. They led more than a dozen supervisory envoys and rushed to Gansu.
At the same time, the Forty-Eight Guards of the Beijing Camp, the Three Thousand Battalion, the Fifth Military Camp, and the Shenji Battalion also began to select soldiers. The number of soldiers selected this time was a total of 30,000, all of whom were veterans of the Jingnan War, brave and good at fighting, and capable of shooting bows and arrows.
All are good, and there are those who are good at using firecrackers and artillery, so that they can accompany Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince, into Ganliang.
At this time, Xia Xun received another decree, a marriage grant!
Song Sheng had three sons, the eldest son Song. When he became emperor, he was the commander of the right guard of the government army. In the battle at Lingbi, he was defeated by King Yan's soldiers and horses, and died in the battle due to the exhaustion of the rebel army. The second son Song Hu and the third son
Song Ying and Song Ying followed their father to guard Xiliang. Now Song Hu has grown up, and Princess An Cheng, the third daughter of Emperor Yongle, has also reached the marriageable age. The emperor proposed marriage and betrothed his three daughters to Song Sheng's son Song Hu, because
Song Hu was in the army and ordered Xia Xun to send the princess to Xiliang to get married.
Most princesses have to live in the Tenth Prince's Palace after getting married, and the chance to meet their husbands is almost the same as that of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Princess Ancheng can stay with her consort for a long time, which makes many widows in the Tenth Prince's Palace envious.
& You authentically said: "I also hope that I can stay at home all day long and enjoy peace and happiness. However, the country is troubled and I enjoy the support of the people. How can I not share the worries of the country and do something for the people? Don't worry,
Timur is indeed powerful, but our Ming army is not easy to mess with. We are defending and they are attacking, and we occupy the right location and people, so Timur may not be able to defeat us."
Xia Xun was lost in thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe we won't be able to fight this battle yet!"
"Don't comfort me!"
Ming'er said quietly: "You are a man. No matter how reluctant people are, they will not stop you from doing things. Timur traveled thousands of miles and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. How could he not be able to fight? Could he have created such a big thing?
Zhenzhan, are you here to see the scenery of the Western Regions? Alas! My husband, you can work with peace of mind. My sisters and I will take care of things at home."
Xia Xun nodded and said: "Today, I have to go to the capital camp. The emperor selected 30,000 elite soldiers for me. By the way, you ask Xilin and Jeanne to prepare them, and prepare a large vehicle suitable for long journeys.
, I will pick them up in the afternoon and ask them to go to the Western Regions with me."
Ming'er was startled at first, and then said docilely: "Yes, it will take half a year at the earliest for my husband to leave. It's impossible without a woman around. Ming'er and several sisters can't be controlled by officials, so they are called
Let's go with the officials. Hmm... Their equestrian skills are very good. How about they dress up as men and accompany the officials? After all... they are going to war. It's not appropriate to bring women with them to spread the word..."
Xia Xun laughed and said: "Where are you thinking? I took them there just because they are from the ancient Qiuci Kingdom and are familiar with the geography and people of the Western Regions. Moreover, they have been taught singing and dancing since they were young. They were originally intended to be sold to the wealthy and noble families of the Western Regions."
, so I know all the wealthy families in the Western Regions. If Song Sheng, the Marquis of Xining, had not made them a gift for the second prince, and then came to our family, they might have become the favorites of a wealthy family in Ganliang.
concubine.
Over there in the Western Region, we are not familiar with each other. I have some people who can help me find out some information, but it is very difficult for them to find out information there, and they can only take targeted actions. Although Siren and Jeanne are women, women
They have much more freedom of movement in the Western Region than in the original area. They are familiar with the customs and customs there, and they may be of great use. Don't worry, I have already reported this matter to the Emperor."
Ming'er was relieved after hearing this, and Xia Xun said again: "It's not bad to ask them to dress up as men. It's just that it's a long way down here. It's very inconvenient for two girls to sit and sleep. It's inevitable
If people knew that I brought women along with me, so secretly, many unscrupulous rumors would spread. How about being more open-minded, since I was sending the princess to get married anyway, and just called them her entourage.
