Yang Ling did not have the awe of then scholar that Monarch father emperor, said the person hunger again patience also limited very much, simply was not in no mood saying that the sentence what/anything feudal official was terrified, the lackey who feudal official did not dare cracked with the teeth, then and other emperors laughed two, the big hand wield, coming sentence „I to shoot you to be innocent” the polite speech, therefore listened to the Hongzhi Emperor words, he raised the head immediately, after dragon writing desk looked. 杨凌本就没有当时读书人那种君父天子的敬畏感,再说人饥饿时耐性也有限的很,根本没心情说句什么臣惶恐、臣不敢的奴才嗑,然后再等皇帝哈哈大笑两声,大手一挥,来句“朕射你无罪”的场面话,因此听了弘治帝的话,他立即抬起头来,向龙书案后望去。 This emperor, is much longer, has the impressive and dignified manner. He wears the wing good crown, wears the plate to get the narrow sleeve group imperial robe, that feature somewhat knows well vaguely. Hongzhi Emperor saw his look, cannot help but stood suddenly, selects the eyebrow, hehe said with a smile: „Originally is you”. 这位皇帝,长得富富态态,甚有威仪。他头戴翼善冠,身穿盘领窄袖团龙袍,那眉目依稀有些熟识。弘治帝见了他相貌,不由得霍地站了起来,把眉尖一挑,呵呵笑道:“原来是你”。 Last night Yang Ling „”, remembers that bumped into all of a sudden to the fathers and sons, originally they are, Yang Ling being pleasantly surprised said/tunnel: „Originally the emperor is”. 杨凌“啊”地一声,一下子想起昨晚碰到的那对父子,原来他们是,杨凌又惊又喜地道:“原来皇上是”。 Hongzhi Emperor quickly coughed, winks to him, Yang Ling awakens immediately, swallowed below half a word words hastily. The emperor does surveys in a quiet way, incurred the matter that hundred officers played to admonish at that time sufficiently, although periphery is near of emperor waits on at present, the matter that the emperor left the palace secretly they knew fairly well most likely, but said that in the presence of everyone is a different matter. 弘治帝急忙咳了一声,向他递了个眼色,杨凌顿时醒悟,连忙把下半句话咽了下去。皇帝微服私访,在那时可是足以招致百官奏谏的事由,虽说目前周围都是皇帝的近侍,皇帝偷偷出宫的事他们十有八九都心中有数,但是当众说出来那就是另一回事了。 Hongzhi sees him is quite smart, in the eye shows the satisfactory happy expression, he sits down slowly, the smile said: „Originally is you, I read your name, saved the derivation to come you are wields the pen rapidly and that Jimingyi assist of shortcoming politics, hehe, you may know my royal government but now for you, as soon as sealed the correspondence to kick up a fuss the day”. 弘治见他颇为机灵,眼中不由露出满意的笑意,他缓缓坐下,微笑道:“原来是你呀,朕念到你的名字,才省起原来你就是秉笔直书、针贬弊政的那个鸡鸣驿丞,呵呵呵,你可知朕的朝廷如今可是为了你一封书信吵翻了天呐”。 He was saying to be pinching the eyebrow gently, although all smiles, actually reveal wiping the feeling of weariness that is hard to conceal. Does not have the brocade clothes provincial commander to open the embroidery to expect, today toward, the household section gets up the folding booklet for early from already the argument and excision responsibility. Originally Hongzhi initially was only life three therapeutic methods Si Yi what Canjiang the responsibility for an offense, but what Canjiang squats now for a half month in the Ministry of Justice prison, the Imperial Court hundred officers have actually forgotten him in one side, started to wrangle mutually, pulled some related irrelevant issues, made that Hongzhi had a headache. 他说着轻轻捏着眉尖,虽然满面笑容,却露出一抹难以掩饰的倦意。不出锦衣提督张绣所料,今儿早朝,户部就上折子为自已辩解、摘除责任了。本来弘治当初只是命三法司议议何参将的罪责,可是如今何参将在刑部大牢里蹲了半个多月了,朝中百官却已将他忘在一边,开始互相扯皮,把些有关无关的问题都扯了出来,弄得弘治头疼不已。 Nearby old court eunuch sees the emperor to reveal the tired condition, arrives in front of him to open a small box hastily, the Yang Ling tip of the nose smells light fragrance, catches the eye to look, sees only in the box the satin to fill up to put dragon eye big red pill, Hongzhi picks up that red pill, sent in the mouth the tea to swallow. 旁边一个老太监见皇上露出倦态,连忙走到他面前打开一个小盒子,杨凌鼻端嗅到一股淡淡的香气,抬眼望去,只见盒中缎垫上放着一枚龙眼大的红丸,弘治拈起那枚红丸,送入口中就着茶水吞服了。 In the Yang Ling heart moves, in the impression Emperor Ming Dynasty mostly the short life, probably few has lived 40-year-old, because Emperor Ming Dynasty has taken the Taoism as the national religion, every time likes the compounded drug that takes the taoist priest to practice for the emperors, although these compounded drugs can the awaking brain stimulate, but mostly has the toxone, is it possible that is Hongzhi eats this type of compounded drug is also inadequate? 杨凌心中一动,印象中明朝皇帝大多短寿,好象没几个活过40岁的,就因为明朝皇帝一直以道教为国教,每代皇帝都喜欢服食道士练的丹药,那些丹药虽能醒脑提神,但大多具有慢性毒素,莫非弘治吃的也是这种丹药不成？ Hongzhi sees him to be in a daze, but also thinks that he had been scared from just now words, said with a smile: „Hehe, the position inferior does not dare to forget country sorrow, my heart is much relieved, Yang minister does not need to be terrified”. 弘治见他发呆,还以为他是被自已方才的话吓着了,不由笑道:“呵呵,位卑未敢忘国忧,朕心甚慰呀,杨卿不必惶恐”。 „Yes!”, Yang Ling seizes the chance to arouse the guts: „Feudal official opens long live, the feudal official once battled along with the army and Mongolian in Jimingyi, had known about then situation. The feudal officials think, the Tatar person assembles more than 20,000 numerous, intrudes on my Great Ming, Cho County and imperial district two groups of armies all performs the meritorious service, although Huailai has lost, but the merit balances sufficiently, why the feudal official will take the liberty to the ginseng/partake not to send the crime by”. “是！”,杨凌趁机鼓足胆量道:“臣启万岁,臣在鸡鸣驿曾随大军与鞑子交战,对当时的情形有所了解。臣以为,鞑靼人纠集两万余众,进犯我大明,涿县、赤县两路大军皆立下功勋,怀来一路虽有所损失,但功过足以相抵,臣冒昧以为何参将并无致罪之由”。 In the Yang Ling heart actually quite sympathizes with that what Canjiang, although this what Canjiang also has the selfishness, near the enemy combat advance is not the direct descendant army main attack, when facing damned Manchus, fears to think to use up firmly to ponder does not dare to be lax, if were not two enlistments urged on the same day over and over, he was not necessarily able hasty and impatient like that. 杨凌心中其实颇为同情那位何参将,虽说这位何参将也有私心,临敌作战先遣不是嫡系的部队主攻,但面对鞑虏时,确也惮思竭虑不敢松懈,如果当日不是两位参军再三催促,他未必会那般躁进。 Now he became the whipping boy to shut in the prison, Yang Ling thought that was rather severe, therefore was happy while the emperor, he is emboldening said from already the view, after saying, he was also the heart thump thump jumps, anxious, for fear that this emperor was also a being subject to changing moods person. 如今他成了替罪羔羊被关进大牢,杨凌觉得未免过于严苛了,所以趁着皇帝高兴,他壮着胆子说出了自已的看法,说完之后,他也是心头怦怦直跳,紧张之极,生怕这位皇帝也是个喜怒无常的主儿。 Under the Hongzhi clothing/taking the red pill, the spirit was better, listened to the Yang Ling words, he quite looked at Yang Ling one with interest, said: „You said to look, holds true by should not govern his crime?” 弘治服下红丸,精神好了许多,听了杨凌的话,他颇有兴趣地看了杨凌一眼,说道:“你说说看,有什么理由不该治他的罪呀？” Today toward, Ministry of War, ministries of public works, the household sections and five army governor's headquarters fights round early, Hongzhi for this matter headache, but he is also unable to back down now, if Yang Ling can say a reason to take off/escape the crime for what Canjiang, the people who then must punish released, various officials naturally cannot pester in this matter again continuous, this is the result that he wants now. 今日早朝,兵部、工部、户部、五军都督府又打起了罗圈架,弘治正为这事儿头疼,可是如今他也是骑虎难下,如果杨凌能说出个理由替何参将脱罪,那么要惩治的人都开释了,各部官员自然不会再在此事上纠缠不休,这正是他现在想要的结局。 Yang Ling hear of Hongzhi are moderate, courage for it one strong, he reorganized under the mentality slightly, said: „Long live, the Tatar person rides to attack my chicken cry by 5000 essences, at that time in the city the garrison troops' less than 400, Xing Laicheng the firm artillery advantage, can persevere for a while, after the city gate, drives out by the cannon that the Mongolian captures, the whole city common people ten thousand lives die to hang in the frontline. If not for what Canjiang commands the army to rush promptly, makes the whole city common people avoid apply carbon, the chicken calls Guyi not to fall into the rival, this is a merit.” 杨凌听弘治语气温和,胆气为之一壮,他略略整理了下思路,说道:“万岁,鞑靼人以五千精骑攻我鸡鸣,当时城中守军不足四百,幸赖城坚炮利,才得以坚守一时,城门后被鞑子掳去的大炮轰开,阖城百姓愈万人生死悬于一线。若不是何参将率军及时赶到,才使得满城百姓免遭涂炭,鸡鸣古驿也未落入敌手,此为一功。” „When heavy snow closes off a mountain area, what Canjiang cuts the enemy to be cherished, ambushes by mistake, this is to cross, the merit may arrive. After our military fall into the enemy ambush, what ginseng/partake can promptly and withdraw decisively, keeping the Mongolian from the array killing wantonly, reduces to slightly our military casualties, after that the fruit and head confrontation are almost the same, although therefore the fell into a trap is solid, loses actually not necessarily achieves the fruit of fell into a trap”. “大雪封山时,何参将斩敌心切,误中埋伏,此为一过,功过可抵矣。我军陷入敌军埋伏后,何参将能当机立断、果断后撤,使鞑子无法列阵大肆杀伤,将我军伤亡减至最小,其后果实与正面交锋相差无几,故此虽然中计是实,损失却未必达到中计之果”。 Horses, chariot, military baggage that and other losses when Yang Ling keeps silent about clear(ly) army to seize valley escape abandons, does not raise stupid interferences of two army blind prison army, if raises, his time when one's position is lowly one's words carry no weight, the effect is not perhaps big, instead from has also been involved in this big vortex. 杨凌绝口不提明军夺谷逃命时弃下的马匹、战车、辎重等损失,更不提两位军盲监军的愚蠢干涉,如果提出来,他此时人微言轻,恐怕效果不大,反而把自已也卷进这个大漩涡了。 His words wind road for grain shipment: „Long live, therefore the feudal official thinks, what ginseng/partake is less than the numerous of opposite party the common soldier, can result in this victory, will be one good, if will punish in excess, will fear the front officers to take warning, from now on will battle not to dare to use with the enemy to assign/life, cherishes only the hope of avoiding mistakes and does not strive for active, by that time will all shrink near the enemy, how could it not be longer Mongolian arrogance?”. 他话风一转道:“万岁,故此臣以为,何参将兵士不及对方之众,能得此战果,也不失为一员良将,若责罚过甚,恐前方将士引以为戒,今后与敌交战不敢用命,但求无过、不求有功,到那时个个临敌畏缩,岂不愈长鞑子气焰？”。 „”, Hongzhi does not nod the head slightly, looking pensive. He received the Liu Jin fast horse to notify initially, under knows the front to suffer heavy casualties, is angry the issuing an imperial order life brocade uniformed guard to deport what Canjiang immediately goes to the capital to discuss the crime. “唔”,弘治微微颔首,若有所思。他当初接到刘瑾快马传报,得知前方损兵折将,大怒之下立即下诏命锦衣卫将何参将递解进京议罪。 Since old times the government was everybody hits you when you are down, took for the person of officer in Imperial Court estimating the intention as the first essential meaning, the emperor must punish a person, how they were twist the dedication thought to frame the charge for this person, making the emperor punish righteously, personal character noble did not hit a person when he is down was good, several people of agrees said the truth to say for him. 自古官场都是墙倒众人推,在朝中为官的人更是以揣摩圣意为第一要义,皇上要惩治一个人,他们都是绞尽了心思想着怎么替这个人罗织罪名,让皇帝惩治得更理直气壮,品德高尚些的不落井下石就不错了,又有几人肯说出实情为他说项。 The Yang Ling these things, Hongzhi heard for the first time, therefore in the heart intent moves immediately, he has been regrettable from cannot raise the whip area north of the Great Wall like the great-grandfathergreat-grandmother and to become ancestor/grandfather, making the damned Manchus flee at the mere distant sight. But as the Great Ming emperor, he hopes from has at least been able to make the damned Manchus not dare easily to encroach, does not send to make the Great Ming common people devastate for the barbarian. 杨凌所述这些事情,弘治还是第一次听说,所以心中顿时意动,他一直遗憾自已没有才能象太祖、成祖那样扬鞭塞外,让鞑虏望风而逃。但做为大明天子,他还是希望自已至少可以让鞑虏不敢轻易侵犯,不致让大明的百姓为蛮夷蹂躏。 Whether what Canjiang punishes the issue is not big, because but if governing under is too strict, making side the army do to fight the fraught with uncertainty after that in the solid his heart does not hope. 一个何参将是否惩治问题并不大,但若是因为御下太严,让边军此后做战畏首畏尾,实非他心中所愿。 It seems like this noise national capital „discussed crime” disturbance to subside, in the Hongzhi heart calculated secretly, has the idea, in the surface hehe has actually smiled impartially, asked: „Ministry of War Wang Yangming got up a folding booklet, to you mentioned the military training is really the esteem, and today you speak freely, making me have a look at what originality”. 看来此次喧嚣京师的“议罪”风波可以就此平息了,弘治心中暗暗盘算着,已有了主意,面上却不置可否地呵呵一笑,又问道:“兵部王守仁上了一个折子,对你提到的练兵之道甚为推崇呀,今日你且畅所欲言,让朕看看有何独到之处”。 Yang Ling is a little depressed, why the imperial reader is? Isn't your son's reader-companion? Probably how to ask the mister to resemble, but can also the test be first inadequate? He actually does not know, the matter that the emperor must worry about what are many, if he has a mind to test a skill of person, then has the thought of pitying makes good use, if there is officer that understands the government custom , not the inspired spirit, wished one could skills to take at this time on presently one presently, asks for the favor of emperor. 杨凌有点儿郁闷,侍读到底是干什么的呀？难道不是你儿子的伴读么？怎么好象请先生似的,还要先考试不成？他却不知,皇帝要操心的事情多的是,他若有心考较一个人的本事,便是有了惜才重用的念头,若是有个熟习官场规矩的官儿,这时还不振奋精神,恨不得十八般武艺全拿出来现上一现,讨皇帝的欢心。 Yang Ling thinks, from already some situations of seeing, unifies the situation of later generation army, contrasts was saying: „ Long live, the feudal official observes in the army the military officer, the ability is irregular, although there is a brave general, actually many only takes seriously individual martial arts, in training troops not manager. 杨凌想了想,就自已所看到的一些情形,结合后世军队的情况,对比着说道:“万岁,臣观军中将领,能力参差不齐,虽有骁勇的将军,却多只重视个人武功,于治军并无所长。 Moreover, the world of present, heavy light, stresses the civil arts over the military arts, hundred fight the military exploit less than an exquisite silk article, capable in military and civil skills mostly abandons the military, but on article, will be good will strive for difficultly. 而且,如今之世,重道轻器,重文轻武,百战军功不及一篇锦绣文章,能文能武者大多弃武而就文,更是良将难求。 Furthermore, the army medium-sized command varies, the weapon mail-armor and helmet varies, the grain and fodder supply varies, usually trains extremely few, even if there is the strength is also hard to display, the feudal official at the chicken cry, in the common army drills, suddenly has a clear-cut stand, the attire is dazzling, the sword and spear is eye-catching, din of gongs and drums, seeming like the military might is majestic. But lots of time actually use in these lineup drilling, only heavy semblance not heavy actual effect, solid not many big uses. 再者,军中号令不一,武器甲胄不一,粮草供应不一,平时训练极少,纵有战力也难以发挥,臣在鸡鸣,常见军中操演,一时间旗帜鲜明,衣着耀眼,刀枪夺目、锣鼓喧天,看起来军威雄壮。但大量时间却都是用在这些阵形演练上,只重外表不重实效,实无多大用处。 If in army daily drilling even if only finds time to be used in the field exercise, the recruit can become the veteran, the veteran can become the crack troops, by the firearm that my Great Ming army provides, the reality is a rare sharp weapon, if with well, the damned Manchus collapses at the first blow, but the weapon is good, results in the person to use, however present common soldier, with firearm is rare, do not discuss that the essence excelled, therefore the feudal official thinks that actual combat training is of most effective strengthening of the armed forces ”. 如果军中每日的演练哪怕只抽出一点时间用于野战演习,新兵才能成为老兵,老兵才能成为精兵,就以我大明军队配备的火器来说,实是一件难得的利器,若用得好,鞑虏不堪一击,可兵器再好,也得人来使用,但是现在的兵士,会用火器的已是难得,更别谈精擅了,所以臣以为实战练兵才是最有效的强军之道”。 The complexion of Hongzhi sank slightly, the soldier does not know that and does not know the disease of soldier he is not does not know, but the minute military system power, is the emperor dominates the monarchial power firmly the important means that if firmly controls the army by the military officer, at times drills to exercise, to be authorized the and others? 弘治的脸色微微沉了下来,兵不知将、将不知兵的弊病他不是不知道,但分兵制权,是帝王牢牢把持君权的重要手段,若是由得将领牢牢控制军队,时时操练演习,岂不是授权柄与他人？ Yang Ling sneaks a peek at the Hongzhi complexion, knew in the heart badly, since old times was the emperor most was worried usurped the throne to seize power, how could it not be to dread from him who said? Yang Ling including hurriedly said: „ Therefore the feudal official thinks, may choose for professor special division training good, by thousand artificial groups, training initiative combat and near enemy strain the ability, but the series soldier wartime comes to dispatch, even if not at for graceful, among various army the coordination has a mistake at most, will present the generals is not at absolutely not, then the aspect of army rout. 杨凌窥见弘治脸色,心知糟了,自古做帝王的最担心的就是篡位夺权,自已所说的岂不正是他所忌惮的？杨凌连忙道:“故此臣以为,可挑选良将为教授专司练兵,以千人为团,训练主动作战、临敌应变的能力,而统兵者战时只是居中调遣,纵然为帅者不在,顶多各军之间配合有所差迟,断不会出现将帅不在,则全军溃败的局面。 In a nutshell, the feudal official thinks that since the ancient times is the non- large army, often said that thousand army will be easy one to strive for difficultly, will train with this law, will be with large army is not heavy, took a look in years past Mongolian cavalry, did the military officer who these led troops how many have to read the book on military strategy to fight the plan, to understand the skill in fine arts and in military arts? If the army is brave, vertical not good, who can the enemy? ” 一言以蔽之,臣以为自古以来都是重将不重兵,常说千军易得一将难求,用此法练兵,却是重兵不重将,试看昔年的蒙古铁骑,那些带兵的将领有几个读过兵书战策、懂得文韬武略？若是全军骁勇善战,纵无良将,谁人能敌？” He is thinking how to change into the words that Hongzhi can understand to say some glossaries of modern listened to him, therefore was somewhat words fail to convey the idea, the meaning that actually wants to say was to strengthen in the army below the regiment level the driving operational capacity of unit, the senior general was only responsible for coming to dispatch, rather than personally took care of things, although the power released, but actually crossed the senior general, therefore the actual controlling force of emperor was instead enhanced. 他想着怎么把现代的一些词汇换成弘治能听得懂的话说给他听,所以有些辞不达意,其实想说的意思就是加强团级以下军中单位的主动作战能力,高级将领只负责居中调遣,而不是事必躬亲,虽然权力下放了,但是却越过了高级将领,所以皇帝的实际控制力反而增强了。 Hongzhi heard afterward, felt like the content that he said can avoid presenting the powerful minister probably to support the aspect that the soldier was self-possessed, can fully propose Gao Mingjun's operational capacity, for a while but thought was not that thorough. 弘治听到后来,隐约觉得他说的内容好象能够避免出现权臣拥兵自重的局面,又能充分提高明军的作战能力,可是一时又想的不是那么透澈。 He just wants to question in detail the details again, side that old court eunuch collects gently, reminded in a low voice: „Your majesty, noon toward being about to start, you looked”. 他正想再细问详情,旁边那个老太监轻轻凑上来,低声提醒道:“陛下,午朝快开始了,您看”。 Hongzhi is light, said to Yang Ling: „Un, likes the minister saying rational, I can consider. Comes the person, bestows in the Yang Ling palace the walk governing sign, gives with the successful candidate family background, immediately is the crown prince imperial reader, brings Yang minister last spring work place”. 弘治轻哦一声,对杨凌道:“嗯,爱卿所言有理,朕会予以考虑。来人,赐杨凌宫中行走御牌,授同进士出身,即日起为东宫侍读,带杨卿去春坊吧”。 „Thanked long live!” Yang Ling kneels thanks for kindness, both hands were received one that hands over by the court eunuch to come and go out the jade sign of imperial grounds, as then made that young court eunuch who he came in draw back. “谢万岁！”杨凌跪地谢恩,双手接过由太监递过来的一块可以出入宫禁的玉牌,然后随着引他进来的那个小太监退了出去。 Yang Ling crossed with the young court eunuch did the clear gate, directly soars the spring work place that the crown prince lived, entered a palace, the Yang Ling period of five days in out of the door, the young court eunuch entered the intrinsic report. Passed the little while, the imperial city gate opened, sees only near 50-year-old officer to walk, looked that did not look at Yang Ling one, the robe sleeve strokes, went out angrily. 杨凌随着小太监过了乾清门,直奔太子居住的春坊,进了一处宫殿,杨凌候在门外,小太监进内禀报。过了会儿,宫门打开,只见一个年约五旬的官儿走了出去,看也不看杨凌一眼,袍袖一拂,怒气冲冲地出去了。 Yang Ling looks at his back to stare blankly, the young court eunuch of pass on message also with, said to Yang Ling: „Yang Shidu, you, and here period of five days, father-in-law valley had been knowing, later the crown prince master summoned you, me first returned”. 杨凌瞧着他背影正发怔,传讯的小太监也跟了出来,向杨凌道:“杨侍读,你且在这儿候着吧,谷公公已经知道了,待会儿太子爷就召见你,咱家先回了”。 The Yang Ling pestle there, the foot heel standing acid, he looked in this palace lonely, did not have the palace maid, the court eunuch did not see one, seized the chance bending the waist to move the body of worn out and aching, the waist sank suddenly, shoulder one tight, as if had anything to flee the shoulder, Yang Ling fooled jumped. 杨凌杵在那儿,脚后跟都站酸了,他看这宫里冷冷清清,既没有宫女,连太监也不见一个,趁机弯下腰活动着酸软的身子,忽地后腰一沉,紧接着肩头一紧,似乎有什么东西窜上了肩头,杨凌唬了一跳。 He turns head, just and a furry god of thunder face, on that monkey-like face, a turning round small eye is winking does not wink is staring him. 他一扭头,正和一张毛茸茸的雷公脸对个正着,那尖嘴猴腮的脸上,一双滴溜溜的小眼睛正眨也不眨地瞪着他。 Yang Ling frightens one to yell, but also does not need he to grasp, that god of thunder face also had a scare by his cry, immediately first shrank, rubs one to jump his head, at this time the side palace gate transmitted orally a hoarse coarse youngster voice: „Gu Dayong, did Li Daxue gentleman walk? Oh, who are you? Do not move heedlessly, provoked anger my small monkey, was careful that it grasps your beaten”. 杨凌吓得一声大叫,还不待他去抓,那张雷公脸也被他的叫声吓了一跳,登时把头一缩,蹭地一下蹦上了他的头,这时侧殿门口传来一个沙哑难听的少年声音:“谷大用,李大学士走了么？哎哟,你是谁？可不要乱动,惹急了我的小猴儿,小心它抓你个满脸花”。
