There are dozens of Mongolian tribes in Taining, Duoyan, and Fuyu. There are millions of Mongolian people, and there are many light cavalry that can be drawn in battle.

These Mongolian tribes followed Yongle Jingnan at the earliest, but the situation is not optimistic now.

They were oppressed by Lindan Batur of the Chahar tribe in the west, attacked by Jiannu in the east, and the powerful Waikhalka tribe in the north. Such a place of four wars led to them being quickly eliminated in history. merger.

After this battle is won, it is necessary to further win over the leaders of the three guards. Zhu Youxiao thought over and over again before saying:

"Decree to send Feng Zhuo, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, to go outside the Great Wall and summon the leaders of Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu to come to Beijing to meet the saint!"

"Also, ask the Imperial Academy to write an imperial edict to win slavery. The rhetoric must be understood by the common people! I want to use this merit to tell the world that there is nothing terrible about being a slave!"

Chapter 422 I'm so proud

The current situation in Ming Dynasty is that there have been no major disturbances in the country. After the southern tour, the thief den in Nanzhili has also stabilized. The battle of Liaodong was won, and Jiannu is licking his wounds.

Zhu Youxiao will also be able to free up his hands to prepare for possible chaos in the future, and use this imperial examination case to clear the court.

Half a month later, on the first floor of a restaurant on Chess and Chess Street.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing is full of people of all kinds coming and going every day, and the vicinity of the Drum Tower in Chess and Chess Street is full of people from morning till night.

At this moment, what many people have tirelessly discussed has almost become a topic, which is the results of the interrogation and the final disposition announced by the Ministry of Punishment two days ago.

Speaking of which, this is exciting news!

According to the imperial court's verification, [-] other examiners, headed by chief examiner Gu Dazhang, colluded and sold test questions in advance, which had a lot of adverse effects on the exam and was unfair to scholars all over the world.

In order to be fair, the imperial court will revoke all Jinshi merits in this round of examinations, formulate new examination questions, and re-examine Wei Guangwei, a cabinet scholar, as the chief examiner.

The announcement also mentioned the latest arrangements for the palace examination. Simply put, everything is different this year. The re-examination and the palace examination must be completed before the end of the year.

As soon as the news came out, the government and the public were boiling.

A small number of people were implicated because of this, and the Jinshi who relied on their real strength and rank naturally complained, but the voices of this small number of people were quickly drowned in the tide and could not affect the general situation.

Hearing the news that corrupt officials have been severely punished and that the examination results have been revoked and re-examinations, the cheering scholars gathered together for days and sang the emperor's sages.

Poems praising Emperor Tianqi sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the number was innumerable. Even the common people were very happy. The capital seemed to be celebrating a new year for several days, and there were laughter everywhere.

It was exciting to have a happy ending.

The most extensive and far-reaching imperial examination case since the Ming Dynasty has come to an end.Many scholars who made troubles did not expect this result. Naturally, they were more grateful and worked hard to make progress.

"it is good!!"

A scholar raised his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise today, I think those words that were deceived by eunuchs are all bullshit!"

"I think so too. It's rare to meet such a holy king in a hundred years! How, how could he be deceived by the eunuchs?" Another scholar was drunk, his face was flushed, he stood up staggeringly and said:

"Have you all heard that besides the chief examiner and fellow examiners, there are as many as 27 or eight officials who have been traced to be involved!"

"If it weren't for His Majesty's sage, how could we be as happy as we are today!"

"Will all these people be beheaded together?" Someone asked in a low voice, looking a little timid.

Soon someone replied: "Decapitation is not enough, but they must be dismissed, and they should be dismissed! They will never be used, and some people will even be sent to the frontier!"

A scholar in Tsing Yi stood up, raised his wine glass, and said happily:

"Today we are all proud, everyone, drink this cup to the brim, and in one month we will be admitted to high school and serve the wise king of today!"

"Good! Long live Daming, long live Your Majesty!!"

Scholars still have the same high-spirited appearance, but the topic has changed and their mentality has also changed.

Now they are all full of enthusiasm, thinking about entering the court and becoming officials, doing some real practical things, even reciting poems and composing Fu also reflects this.

In the afternoon, the chess and card street became extraordinarily crowded.

Many people supported the old and the young, rode horses and sedan chairs, and walked southward in small groups with great interest.

Three burly passers-by from outside the Great Wall were eating together, and they didn't know what happened. While wondering, they grabbed one of them and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

The man looked like a servant from a certain restaurant, and his body was not weak, but this man from outside the Great Wall was very strong, as if he was caught by iron tongs, he couldn't get out of his body.

The boy immediately jumped up in a hurry, turned around and cursed: "You have something wrong...! Don't drag me, if you go late, you won't be able to occupy the space!"

The outsider smiled and didn't let go, and asked leisurely: "Then you go back to me first, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

The little servant was struggling, seeing the flow of people rushing past him, he turned bitterly and said, "Look at the beheading!"

"Ah, who to kill?" The outsider was startled, and subconsciously let go.

The servant didn't reply, he raised his legs and ran away. In the blink of an eye, he got into the crowd, and he couldn't find it even if he tried to find it.

"Zai Sai, who is he trying to kill, there is such a big commotion, I'm afraid there must be as many people as us watching the show here!"

Another outsider on the table laughed loudly: "These people from the Ming Dynasty really like to watch the excitement so much, they just kill someone, what's the matter?"

Zaisai was the outsider who had just caught the boy. He shook his head and smiled, glanced at the sky, and suddenly said: "The emperor of Ming Dynasty summoned us to Beijing. It's still early anyway, so let's go and have a look."

"Such a big movement, I'm afraid the status of the person to be killed is extraordinary!"

Sitting in the small teahouse with Zaisai, the other two people who tasted the Han people's weak tea were Yongxiebu, the leader of the three tribes of Wuliangha, and Yierdeng, the leader of the Tainingwei tribes.

The two looked at each other, Yier Deng spread his hands to express his indifference, but Yong Xiebu, who had just spoken, laughed loudly and said:

"That's good too. Anyway, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a lot of things to do every day. If he goes early, he will wait."

Before the three of them came out, they left all the guards at the inn where they lived. Now that they had made up their minds, they followed the flow of people to the south with square steps.

Soon, they saw the high platform for execution.

There were many taverns and restaurants rising and falling around the high platform. The three of them found a tavern to have a drink. As soon as they entered the door, they were startled by the lively atmosphere inside.

Sitting by the door was a group of scholars in long gowns, talking and laughing, and their voices became brighter and brighter. From the perspective of the three of them, they seemed crazy.

Were Ming literati always so brave?

The three of them had just sat down, and Yun Wuse, who was sitting around Huanghuatang, raised his wine glass and said loudly:

"Examiners recognize power and wealth, but they don't recognize people. They know money but don't know articles, so many talented people are frustrated all their lives!"

"Fortunately, the Skynet has been restored, and it is not missing!"

"The underprivileged people are proud today!" The other also raised his glass and drank loudly. Such a high atmosphere shocked the three of them again.

"Dangfu Dabai!!" An unknown scholar raised his glass and shouted.

Scholars are in the middle of the policy, this time they will retake the exam, they all have new opportunities, and naturally feel the deepest about this.

Although the rest of the pedestrians and common people were not as excited as they were, they still chatted happily, and the sound of slapping tables and shoving lamps could be heard endlessly.

Usually, the small tavern can't hold so many people, and the sound of discussion and shouts shook the beams of the roof, making Zaisai, Yongxiebu, and Yi'erdeng three people very surprised.

Zai Sai took a sip of his wine, looked around, and said with a cold snort: "Before, you had the idea that Ming could not defeat the Kingdom of Jin. Now it seems ridiculous!"

Chapter 423 Blood Flows into a River

"Dry!"

A dozen scholars suddenly agreed to speak out, held up a dozen wine glasses, and hit them with a "bang", and the wine splashed for a while, but everyone didn't care and laughed loudly.

Such cheerful laughter almost lifts up the small tavern.

Zaisai stopped drinking and walked out of the tavern.

Although he is a Mongolian, he also respects the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains very much. He knows a rule of the Han people. Whenever a head is killed, the Shuntian government office must post notices at the crossings of the streets. This is the fastest way to understand what happened .

Although Yier Deng and Yong Xiebu had their own calculations in their minds, they were also very curious and awed by this scene. They looked at each other, and Yong Xiebu left a few big coins on the table, and rushed out one after another to catch up with Zaisai. pace.

The more Zaisai walked, the more curious he was when he saw the bustle on the street. Suddenly, there was a wind under his feet, and he bumped into three generals of the Ming army in armor.

The highest ranking of these three generals is the guerrilla general, and the other two are only generals. Such a status is neither high nor low in the Ming army.

If you step on it casually in the capital, you can kill five or six thousand generals.

When they bumped into each other, the three generals were also discussing, and when they turned around, they saw three Mongolian servants outside the Great Wall, their eyes changed, and one of the generals opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

The guerrilla general was not angry, but said with a smile in Mongolian: "Are you all from outside the Great Wall? Look at the clothes, didn't they enter the pass from a tribe?"

Zaiser was feeling a little embarrassed, because if he bumped into a Jianzhou general outside the pass, even if he was not punished, he would still be scolded severely.

Today's Fuyuwei tribes are enemies on three sides, and only Daming is their hope for survival.

And this time Daming Xingshi mobilized everyone to go out to rescue, Zaisai didn't dare to offend, he was thinking about how to get out of the siege, should he bow his head and admit his mistake.

But before he could speak, the other party spoke first, and when he spoke, he spoke beautiful Mongolian, which surprised him even more.

The other party was not angry at all, and even communicated with him in Mongolian with good intentions, as if he was afraid that he would not understand and might make a mistake.

After expressing clearly that he can speak Chinese, Zaisai said in Chinese:

"We are indeed not from the same tribe. This is Yongxiebu from Duoyan, and this is Yierdeng from Taining. My name is Zaise."

Obviously, the guerrilla general didn't know the names of the three of them, but he didn't mean to be sarcasm, so he laughed, cupped his fists and said:

"It turned out to be the Mongolian brothers of Sanwei. Everyone said that you Mongolians are different from the Tartars. You must have worked hard to learn Chinese?"

Zai Sai touched his head, smiled awkwardly, and asked:

"I don't know what happened to the capital in the past few days, or is it that people come and go like this in the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing this, the guerrilla general laughed and said:

"The capital city used to be very lively, but not as crowded as it is now."

"This time, there was a major fraud case in the imperial examination, which made Tianwei furious. As soon as the documents for the joint trial of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Penalty came up, His Majesty immediately approved it!"

"On the 28th of this month, the case-closing report went up, and the imperial approval came down that night, and the execution will be carried out on the [-]th today. The current imperial court is really clean and tidy!"

Zaisai also knew the importance of the imperial examinations in the Central Plains court, and he thought so deeply, "Perhaps these corrupt officials are shameless, and if they don't work for the Ming Dynasty, who can get around them?"

A chief executive said harshly: "Corrupt officials don't have any good things. If it weren't for His Majesty's sagely judgment, the brothers' military salaries would have been embezzled by them!"

In addition, Mr. Qian also said: "Kill it, kill it cleanly, I will be satisfied!"

Only then did Yong Xiebu interject, laughing and saying:

"Although I don't know why this matter is so important, but I can also hear it. If I serve as a soldier in the Ming Dynasty, I should have the same idea as you!"

"Hahaha……"

The six of them chatted together very quickly, walking together, talking and laughing, not at all the submissiveness that the three of Zaisai had in front of the Eight Banners generals in the past.

To tell the truth, even Yong Xiebu and Yier Deng felt comfortable with this feeling. It was indeed much better to work for Daming than to be a lackey for Jurchen.

There is no permanent banquet in the world, and the six of them soon came to an intersection, and before going their separate ways, Zai Sai rushed to the execution ground.

Looking at the figures of the three Mongols, the guerrilla general smiled and said, "Let's go, the Armor Department has a new batch of armor, and we have to try it out."

A chief executive was very excited when he heard the words: "Since His Majesty succeeded to the throne, not only have the brothers' military salaries not been in arrears, but they have also risen!"

In addition, Mr. Qian also walked on the road swaggeringly, laughing loudly:

"Every time we fight, we can exchange the enemy's head for silver rewards and military merits. We have new weapons and armor almost every year. How comfortable are these days!"

Zai Sai felt that he had to watch the execution once to make his trip worthwhile.

On one side of the tall table was a notice from the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, on which there was an edict approved by Emperor Tianqi, and staff from the "Beijing News" department were distributing fixed-quantity newspapers for free.

Many people were scrambling to watch, the platform was surrounded by armored soldiers guarding, and there was a stern-looking general sitting in charge, holding a goose-winged knife with one hand, talking to the supervisor and beheading officer.

Zaisai now has a high awe of Daming's soldiers, and he doesn't dare to force his way because of his size, so he can only stick his head out to look at them.

Like him, both Yongxiebu and Yierdeng were completely free from the arrogance and rudeness of their own tribe, and they appeared to be very honest and friendly in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, I was listening to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment standing on the high platform holding a document and reading aloud:

"...corruption and perversion of the law, the imperial court has repeatedly banned it. The examination hall is a grand ceremony for selecting scholars, which has the most important relationship. It is for the observation of the provinces. How can you wantonly be greedy and favoritism!"

"In this trial, the bribery, bribery, overpayment, and selling of test questions were all stolen and obtained. There is no law for them. If they are not severely punished, why should they be warned?"

"The presiding judge Gu Dazhang, together with the examiners Li Yuanyin, Zheng Wopu and other 17 people, and the Xinke Scholars Li Zhiling, Wu Zuolin, Tian Chang and other 22 people, are afraid of being executed!"

"The presiding examiner and the life examiner all confiscated their family property and seized their land. Parents, brothers, and wives all fled to the frontier and served as soldiers on the frontier. The descendants will never be used as officials!"

"Those who participated in this round of fraud, there are 86 people who have been verified, regardless of Juren, Jinshi, Gongsheng, Jiansheng, etc., all their meritorious deeds will be destroyed, and they will not be used for eternity and for three generations!"

"Liu Zongzhou, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Cai Yuanjia, a doctor of Guozijian, Zhang Cunren, the right judge of Dali Temple, and other 26 people, who did not report what they knew, took bribes and took bribes.
