It was finally dawn, and I don’t know how many people were waiting for this dawn.
The palace had already spoken, the imperial edict had been written, the Ministry of Personnel had passed the official documents, and the cabinet had also completed the filing. It could be issued on the same day when the voting results came out, which means that the voting was over, and these official positions had been decided.
There are only three major court meetings today.
For all the civil and military officials of the court, the only thing they really care about is the voting process. Although the factions already know it, they always have to wait until there is a result before they can feel at ease.
The white-famous crane is still hiding in the corner of the hall. The first item today is that he is not the protagonist.
On the left side of the imperial throne, there were two tables and two braziers on the ground. Today, Jin Ying was present in person and stood here. The two general managers of the Sili Superintendent and the deacon-level eunuch knelt on the cushion, with paper and pen on the low table in front of him.
Four little eunuchs knelt in front of the brazier, waiting for the start of the vote.
On the right side of the imperial throne, there was a huge wooden board, with six small eunuchs standing next to them, and two powerful general managers and deacon-level eunuchs standing on ladders with wheels.
All officials entered the hall and arranged their seats in turn.
This position can be said that every major dynasty meeting will hardly change unless the official position changes.
Four little eunuchs held four trays with printed ballots on them. Each one was exactly the same and there was no number. This has been made public to all officials.
"Let's start!" Zhu Qiyu sat on the imperial throne.
Jin Ying walked out of the imperial throne. First, he took four little eunuchs to several dukes who had no voting rights. Several of them had seen the votes and responded to the officials: "The test is correct!"
There is anything to check, this is just a piece of paper, the simplest piece of paper, with less than ten words on it.
The palace selection in the second year of Jingtai, Daming. Then there is a cabinet seal and another seal of the Silijian.
Jin Ying began to issue votes one by one according to the order of the standing position in the hall. There were no more than ten people who knew the secrets, and these ten people were all above the hall except Xing'an.
The order of Jin Ying's invoices is very particular, and he thought about it carefully in advance.
The secret of the votes lies in the order of the invoices. Each vote actually has a name, but it is written on paper in a special way, and it is invisible at all at this time. And the votes issued by Kim Young can be said to be 99% of them in the hands of the person corresponding to the name. If there is no accident, it is 100% possible.
After the ballots were issued, a ballot box was placed in the middle of the main hall.
Everyone was writing the votes, and after writing the votes, they were cast into the ballot box. The ballot box that had been cast into the ballot box did not move. However, a low case next to the brazier was carried over, and the box was opened in front of the officials.
The tickets were in chaos in the box, and the eunuch responsible for reading the tickets held up one in both hands: "Governor of Xuanfu, Guo Deng!"
This ticket is under many eyes, and there is no possibility of mispronunciation. After reading a ticket, you will not rush to read the second one. First, the one next to the brazier starts recording, and then the name of Guo Deng on the big wooden board is hung out, and then the first stroke of the regular character is drawn on the paper under the name.
"Cancel tickets!" The eunuch shouted after the record. The little eunuch knelt down and took the ticket, holding the brazier and threw the ticket into the brazier. The paper ticket was burned to ashes the moment it entered the brazier.
But just before this moment, a name will appear on the paper when the fire is roasted.
The four little eunuchs kneeling next to the brazier were all strictly trained and they had the ability to remember everything they had. There were not many people who were qualified to vote in the hall, so they only needed each person to silently write down eighty names, and it has been explained. The key point is the Governor of the Canal Transportation.
The point is, this is what Bai Minghe said.
But Xing'an's attitude is to show them good-looking if you can't remember it.
It is really easy to remember the memory strongman with more than 800 words after reading these once.
One by one, the names appear on the tall wooden boards, and several regular characters will appear under each person's name.
The result will not exceed the expectations of several factions. The only variable is on Qian's side. The original plan for the Hetao Governor was Xu Gui, and the Xuanfu Governor was Guo Deng. After the vote, the two people turned around due to the difference of one vote. These are many generals with responsibilities, and those who are free votes are more optimistic about Xu Gui who has been in Xuanfu.
After congratulations to each other, it will be a happy ending.
Shi Heng had a smile on his face, and he walked to Bai Minghe specifically: "I guess Mr. Bai has voted for me too. I have thanked Mr. Bai here."
Bai Minghe's face was filled with smiles and he arched his hands: "Congratulations to Lord Shi!"
Shi Heng lowered his voice: "Mr. Bai, what do you think about this matter?"
"I, Baiminghe, is still young, young and ignorant, and is a little frivolous. It is a good learning process now, but fortunately, I, Baiminghe, is still young." Baiminghe's words seemed to be surrendering, but Shi Heng didn't have much happiness in his heart, because of the words of Baiminghe, I, Baiminghe, is still young.
I am young, and when I was eighteen years old, what qualifications would I have compared with the current white-famous crane?
Suddenly, Shi Heng felt a lot more emotion in his heart. It was really the younger wave who pushed the older wave and surpassed the younger ones. Many people wanted to make Bai Minghe die. When he arrived at Shi Heng's position, he understood that Bai Minghe's life was not so easy to lose.
"White-famous He, if you have the opportunity to come to Huainan, I will hold a banquet for you." Shi Heng's words were also a show of goodwill.
Bai Minghe surrendered and Shi Heng showed his goodwill.
It seems like this is a very peaceful ending, but who knows what tomorrow is going on.
Except for Shi Heng, no one took the initiative to come to Baiminghe. The reason is that Baiminghe is just a seventh-rank official. Whoever takes the initiative to approach will inevitably make others have extra ideas.
The noise in the hall was only a short time, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty were still quite abide by the rules.
Next, the second item comes.
The Japanese envoy entered the temple to discuss the two very important people of the Ashikaga family, one was the cousin of the current general, the other was the cousin of the current general. One was killed and the other was captured. As well as the matter of requesting the document of Kanke.
There was no need to talk about such a small matter at the Grand Court.
But Bai Minghe hoped to speak at the dynasty meeting, so Hu Yi secretly helped Bai Minghe.
Two men, who were about 1.55 meters tall, came to the palace with a document and knelt down.
For the Japanese, the white-famous cranes still know some of them. The Japanese are a nation mixed with the Tungus and the Mongol race, and then they have island characteristics. The specific physical characteristics are: short stature, narrow shoulders, short legs, spindle-shaped, x or o-shaped legs, wide hips, and flattering face than ordinary yellow people (yellow people are already very flat), the bridge of the nose is not obvious, and there are special buttock spots.
Bai Minghe once read a historical document. When the Chinese braids were in the late stage, around 1878, European scholars conducted a survey on the Japanese island. The height of adult men on the Japanese island is generally around 1 meter and 55 mm, and adult women are about 150 mm.
In addition, the ancient Japanese were generally insufficient in nutrition, so they were very short!
The guards in the palace in the Ming Dynasty were all selected among the elites, and it was not uncommon to be over 1.8 meters tall.
The Japanese envoy who was familiar with Chinese read a lot, which was nothing more than saying that a fleet of his country was attacked, the general's cousin was killed, and his cousin was captured, so the Emperor of Ming Dynasty asked the murderer to severely punish him.
"Bai Minghe!" Zhu Qiyu said a name coldly.
The white-famous He made a quick example and stood next to the Japanese envoy. The difference in height put the Japanese insults in a small way.
No matter how you say Bai Minghe grows up with delicious food and drink, it is not tall. It is 1.79.5 meters, but less than 1.8 meters. There is still a gap compared to the garrison in the front of the palace.
"Long live, I'm here!"
"Water impeaches you for killing indiscriminately, please explain yourself!" Zhu Qiyu said bluntly.
Bai Minghe touched his chin: "I wonder, is there any impeachment from Japan?"
Zhu Qiyu actually wanted to laugh, but he was the emperor, so he had to hold back. However, Eunuch Cai was very tactful: "These two are the ones who impeached you. As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the envoy of the King of Japan naturally had the power to impeach you!"
"Take a letter of nationality and take a look!" Bai Minghe stretched out his hand, but just stretched out his hand lazily.
The ministers in the court just watched it as fun. Not to mention the fact that Bai Minghe had a feud with Japan, even Bai Minghe killed the King of the Japanese. It was just that the few ministers of the Qingliu were not used to Bai Minghe's arrogant behavior. If Hu Yi had not suppressed him, he would have jumped out to scold Bai Minghe long ago.
The Japanese envoy had no choice but to hand over the letter of the country to the white-famous crane.
Bai Minghe casually looked through it and bowed to Zhu Qiyu: "Long live, this is not a letter of nationality. I don't know what kind of thing this is written by a small person, but it is actually said it is a letter of nationality. I want to impeach the imperial guards for the crime of lax inspection. Such a inferior person actually entered my Ming Dynasty Grand Historical Hall!"
"My general is Ashikaga Yoshimasa!" The Japanese envoy yelled angrily.
"What is Ashikaga Yoshimasa? He is just a minister of the King of Wa. He dares to proclaim himself as the King of Wa and has been recognized by my Ming Dynasty, so he is qualified to impeach me here. A minister of the King of Wa dares to say that he wrote the letter of the country. So what is the memorial of the King of Wa? I ask the Ministry of Rites to give this ignorant little person to class!"
Bai Minghe, you are really a scoundrel! Almost all the civil and military officials in the court have the same thought, but most of them express their preference for this shamelessness.
The Japanese envoy was completely confused. What he was confused about was the general and the emperor. Even if the general was the actual ruler of Japan, he would not dare to say that he did not respect the emperor. But why is this letter of the country not the emperor's seal?
In this era, Japan was still influenced by the Central Plains Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and other ideas, and knew the magnitude of etiquette.
I also know that countries like the Ming Dynasty talk about orthodoxy, identity, and ritual system. (To be continued...)
ps: Speaking of steel frying, it is historically true, but...
