Chapter 491 490 The Three Main Halls Are Renamed

Yu Dayou and Chen Wangmo were still arguing about the identity of "Zhang Lian", but Zhang Nie had already wavered in his heart.

The scene of selecting prisoners for identification was repeating in his mind.

Most of those who were selected only knew that the man was their leader, but they didn't even know his name. As for the few who knew that the leader was Zhang Lian.

Leader Zhang Lian, thinking so, perhaps in their cognition, the leader was Zhang Lian.

Since they knew that the man was the leader, they thought he was Zhang Lian. As for whether he was someone else among the bandit leaders, they didn't know.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out.

These people only knew that the man was the leader, but they didn't know who the man was. In the final analysis, they didn't know Zhang Lian at all.

It's bad.

Zhang Nie knew that they were probably wrong and mistook Yang Shun for Zhang Lian. Although he was also a captured bandit leader, he was not Zhang Lian after all.

At that time, he was already too excited by the victory to think about his luck. He captured the leader of the rebels in one battle and didn't send people to identify him many times.

Zhang Nie felt annoyed when he heard the argument between Yu Dayou and Chen Wangmo.

Things in the officialdom are often not black and white. More often, it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons.

For example, if he sent another memorial to the capital right now, saying that Zhang Lian was not caught, but another leader of the rebels was caught, and he had made a mistake before.

Although he would not be punished by the emperor immediately, he would have a bad impression in his heart, thinking that he was rash and unstable in his work, and his future promotion would be ruined.

Regarding his career, Zhang Nie would never make a decision in a muddle, and he needed to consider it carefully.

"You all say less."

Zhang Nie said, and his words successfully shut up the two generals who were arguing fiercely.

Regardless of whether they were generals or deputy generals, they could only behave like quails in front of Zhang Nie, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Yu Dayou had suffered enough from contradicting his superiors. Even if he felt that this matter was wrong, he should admit it, but he could point out what his superiors should do, but he could never make decisions for them.

Moreover, many experiences told him that he had to find a way to get himself out of this matter, otherwise it would be very troublesome once it happened.

In fact, he had encountered many similar things when he was found out after the mission went wrong, but many times they had to take the blame, while the people who were really responsible were often only lightly punished.

"The victory has been reported to the capital, and this matter cannot be changed."

First of all, Zhang Nie still wanted to keep his career, so he decided not to report the truth.

As for whether this "Zhang Lian" was not the same Zhang Lian, that was easy to deal with. Since Zhang Lian had not been caught yet, he should be caught as soon as possible.

At this time, the rebel army was obviously demoralized. It was the right time to wipe out the remnants of Zhang Lian as soon as possible. There was no need to worry about not being able to catch anyone. Even if there were no survivors, dead ones would be fine. At that time, they would say that he died of serious injuries on the battlefield and died in the camp.

This was the solution Zhang Nie thought of. In short, he was definitely not wrong. Zhang Lian must be in the army.

"Since... Since General Yu's captives said that the person in the camp was not Zhang Lian, then please ask General Yu to send troops again to wipe out the remnants of the rebels and capture the real Zhang Lian."

Chen Wangmo was the general of Guangxi and a subordinate of Zhang Nie, so he naturally preferred him.

He could not provoke Prince Yu's Mansion, but this was a battlefield. He was a civil servant, the highest official here, and the commander of the army. Even Prince Yu could not do anything to him. At most, he would have no hope of promotion in the future, but he had to pass this hurdle at the moment. It was just an order to Yu Dayou.

Hearing Zhang Nie's order to continue to encircle and suppress the remnants of the rebels and hunt down Zhang Lian, Yu Dayou was unhappy and felt that he had no chance to get out. This was Zhang Nie's favoritism towards Chen Wangmo, but there was nothing he could do.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person. What can he do when an order is issued?

"I obey your order."

Yu Dayou had to bow and accept the order.

"General Yu's army has just arrived. Let's take a day off today. I will send someone to send wine and meat as a reward. We will set out tomorrow and capture the real Zhang Lian in General Yu's mouth as soon as possible."

Zhang Nie said this, his eyes also staring at Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou felt tired at this moment. He had been framed. It would be best to catch Zhang Lian so that he could make up for the loophole perfectly, but if he didn't catch him, it would be a big trouble.

If the news spread that this Zhang Lian was not the Zhang Lian, Zhang Nie and Chen Wangmo would naturally be implicated, but then Zhang Nie could turn the tables and say that he had failed to do his job and let Zhang Lian escape.

He didn't know how to respond to this general's order.

He said that the man was not Zhang Lian, but he was ordered to suppress the bandits. It was a sound order. It was also his job to catch the real Zhang Lian. He might not be able to catch him, but he thought it was okay, but he was always afraid of the possibility.

What if he didn't catch him?

Yu Dayou clasped his fists and resigned from the central army tent and returned to his own military camp.

After Yu Dayou left, Chen Wangmo walked to the desk and said, "Sir, what should we do about this?"

"Block the news, and from now on, no one is allowed to approach Zhang Lian."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Nie said, "You will personally lead people to deliver wine and meat to Yu Dayou's army, arrest Xiao Xuefeng and other prisoners, and detain his personal soldiers separately to interrogate them carefully, and make sure the truth is true."

"Sir."

Chen Wangmo looked embarrassed at this time, and hesitated to speak.

"I know what you are thinking. Yu Dayou is 80% right. He was deceived by those thieves in the first place. He should have carefully screened them before reporting them."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhen said with regret, "Now we have to consider the aftermath, and we must not spread the matter out, as it will affect our career.

I'll stop Yu Dayou with words. If he can catch Zhang Lian, the matter will be settled easily. What I fear most is that there are no eyesights on the battlefield. Let's talk about it when the time comes.

Remember, all the prisoners will be screened again, and those who know Zhang Lian will be detained separately. As for how to deal with it, we will tell you when the time comes. You are personally responsible for this matter. "

"As commanded."

Chen Wangmo bowed and replied.

"Go ahead and collect everyone as soon as possible and lock them up."

Now, how to block the news is the top priority. Only by controlling the witnesses first, whether it is to silence them or something else, will the initiative be firmly in their own hands.

In fact, there is another worry in Zhang Nian's heart.

I had captured "Zhang Lian" in this battle, and the victory documents were sent to the Ministry of War. The news had spread, and the real Zhang Lian might have heard the news. Will he take the opportunity to hide himself?

If this is the case, the chance of capturing the real Zhang Lian will become slim. At that time, we will only be able to find excuses to deal with the prisoners, and we must not leave any survivors alive.

Today he defeated Yu Dayou's army. He would naturally keep his mouth shut if he was sensible, even if he had Prince Yu's Mansion behind him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhen glanced at the merit list on the desk. It was handed over by Yu Dayou, a list of those who had made meritorious service in the army.

Originally, I wanted to keep most of the credit to myself, but now it seems that I need to give some away, so as to stop Yu Dayou's mouth.

After Yu Dayou entered his military camp, he immediately called the military sentry to inspect the team.

"Immediately send out all the scouts in your hand to find the whereabouts of the remnants of the rebels, especially the movements of Lin Chaoxi and other leaders."

Yu Dayou thought about it on the way back. Zhang Lian is now frightened. He is afraid that if the main force of his men is gathered together, only enough soldiers and horses will give him a sense of security.

Zhang Lian should be with his large team.

Now the main leaders of the rebels, Xiao Wan and Luo Pao, have been arrested, leaving only him and Lin Chaoxi.

As for the rebels' lair, it has been surrounded by the Ming army. Now I am not afraid of them breaking through. Where can they go if they break out?

After he has dealt with the rebels around him, he can go back and set the mountain on fire. He is not afraid that the remaining bandits will be bound if they don't surrender.

Yu Dayou has no intention of going to the top of the mountain to seize the stronghold. That will only result in the loss of men and horses, and his subordinates will be uneasy. It is better to kill them ruthlessly.

Under Zhang Nian's order, the Ming army stationed in Fujian took action again and began to hunt down the remnants of Zhang Lian's troops.

It is our duty to eradicate all evil. Even if the leader of the thieves is captured, other rebels will still be caught and punished. The morale of the Ming army in various places has greatly increased at this time, and the battlefields in various battlefields are experiencing rare victories, and good news continues for a while.

Xiyuan, Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing finally moved back to live here from Yuxi Palace. Staying in the brand-new palace, Emperor Jiajing was naturally in a good mood.

The good mood comes not only from moving into the new house, but also from the good news from Fujian.

But today, he summoned two cabinet ministers here, not to let them admire the new palace, but because he had already seen the regulations drawn up by the cabinet for the re-recording of the "Yongle Dadian" and would make a decision on the matter today.

For this re-recording ceremony, the cabinet recommended four general school officers and fifteen branch officers for the emperor to select.

Looking at the memorials that had been opened on the imperial desk, looking at the names of the officials on it, Emperor Jiajing reached out and took out a red pen from the pen mountain, started to check after inking.

After several times in a row, the list has been determined, and this is the emperor.

Those officials, in order to have their names appear in that memorial, were constantly involved in activities, and in the end, he was still required to make the final decision.

Looking at the list he had checked, Emperor Jiajing did not issue an order immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. He felt that there was no need to modify it, and then said to Huang Jin who was standing beside him: "That's it."

"yes."

Huang Jin agreed, bowed down and took the memorandum from the imperial desk, unfolded it in his hand, and muttered: "Edict, re-record the Yongle ceremony, and order Gao Gong, Zuo Chunfang, Zuo Yude of the Ministry of Rites, to read it to Qu Jingchun. Serve as the chief school officer,

Wei Guangde, who was promoted to the Secretary of the Economic Affairs Bureau, and Youzhong of Youchunfang, allowed Zhang Juzheng, who was in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Academy, to enter the library and register. Gong was still the minister and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Guangde was still a minister of the Imperial Academy and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. Yi Zhongyun was concurrently a minister of the Hanlin Academy,

The Hanlin Academy edited Ding Shimei and Xu Shixing, edited Lu Min, Wang Xilie, Zhang Siwei, and Tao Dalin, and reviewed Wu Keke and Ma Ziqiang to make them full school officials. "

After Huang Jin finished reading, he took a few steps to Xu Jie and handed it to him.

Zhang Juzheng was appointed by the emperor as the branch officer. Xu Jie's goal was achieved, but Wei Guangde was also added to share the credit, as was Gao Gong. Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he did not show it at all.

Thinking that the names of Yin Shizhen and Tang Ruji were not mentioned in the memorial, I was just slightly happy that the people from Prince Yu's palace had not taken up all the idle posts.

Originally, there were only two chief campus officers and ten branch branch officers. One of the chief campus officers and two branch branch officers came in to get their qualifications gold-plated. It was not bad. The nine of them should be able to complete the re-enrollment ceremony.

"The remaining 300 scribes will be selected by the Ministry of Rites in conjunction with Ministers Gao and Qu. The list will be submitted to the cabinet for approval, and the Director of Rites will approve it, so that they can start work as soon as possible."

Emperor Jiajing spoke again.

"According to the order."

Huang Jin, Xu Jie and Yuan Wei all bowed to accept the order.

Just when Xu Jie and Yuan Wei thought that today's summons was about to end, Emperor Jiajing suddenly spoke again: "There is one more thing that I have been thinking about for many days."

Hearing what the emperor said, Xu Jie and Yuan Wei were shocked. They didn't know if the one on the throne was trying to play another trick, so they both held their breath and listened carefully.

"The three main halls have been repeatedly rebuffed. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of their re-completion, I would like to change their names. I hope this will ensure the safety of the three main halls."

Emperor Jiajing said calmly.

It's just that these plain words didn't sound like thunder in the ears of Xu Jie, Yuan Wei, and even Huang Jin.

The emperor wants to change the names of the three main halls?

Why?

This is the question that emerged in the minds of the three people at the same time.

The three main halls are just standing there. Is it possible to keep safe by changing their names and avoid another fire?

The names of the three main halls, Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall and Jinshen Hall, were personally decided by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Later, when Zhu Di, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing, the three main halls were rebuilt according to the Nanjing model, and the names were not changed.

Fengtian Hall is what the people call the "Jinluan Hall". The meaning of "Fengtian" is based on the Confucian theory of destiny, which states that the emperor is ordered by heaven to rule all the people in the world, so the emperor is called the Son of Heaven. The ancient jade seal that passed down the country is engraved with "ordered by the emperor" The eight words "Heaven will live long and live forever" also have the same meaning, and the fixed format at the beginning of the imperial edict "Follow Heaven to carry the emperor" also means the same.

Huagai Hall is the name of the palace after Fengtian Hall. "Huagai" is one of the star officials in Chinese astronomy. It belongs to Ziwei Yuan and symbolizes aloofness, detachment and unattainable meaning.

The Huagai is the name of a group of stars in the Ziwei Yuan. A total of sixteen stars guard the Emperor Star like umbrellas. The celestial phenomena reflect the human world, so it is called this. The name of the Forbidden City is also taken from the Ziwei Yuan, which is the palace in the sky.

After the Huagai Hall is the Jinshen Hall. "Jin Shen" is to warn the emperor to strengthen his self-cultivation and always remind himself to reflect on himself, because every word and deed of the emperor is related to the life and death of all people in the world, so he must be cautious in dealing with things.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang decided on the names of the three main halls after careful consideration, but today, Emperor Jiajing actually wants to change the names of the three main halls.

How does this work?

The news spread to the outer court. If the courtiers knew about it, they didn't know how they would make a fuss.

Although they wanted to object in their hearts, the emperor had not finished speaking after all, and it was not easy for them to talk for the time being.

In front of the emperor, they could not speak casually without His Majesty's permission. They could only wait for Emperor Jiajing to finish speaking.
