Life of the characters

High school Jinshi

Cotinus coggygria was born with white hair, which turned black after the full moon. In the second year of Jianwen (1400), Hu Xiaozhong was awarded the title of Jinshi by the second grade A, and he was awarded the title of military officer to Shizhong together with Yang Pu. In the first year of Yongle (1403), Zhu Di, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, ascended to the throne, and Hu bi was promoted to hukedujizhong.

Looking for Jianwen

Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen died in the fire, and some people say he escaped, and there are many old ministers with him. Since the fifth year of Yongle (1407), Hu has been ordered by Zhu Di to visit emperor Jianwen for 14 consecutive years. Where he went, he occasionally reported to Zhu Di the secret of the people and visited immortal Zhang slovenly. When his mother died, he asked to go back to watch the funeral, but Zhu Di refused, and promoted him to the Minister of rites as a reward. In the 17th year of Yongle (1419), Hu Bi went to visit Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hu and Hunan provinces again (it is reasonable to believe that he had mastered the specific information of Jianwen emperor in this visit). In 1423, he returned to the imperial court and immediately went to Xuanfu to meet Zhu Di. At that time, Zhu Di had gone to bed. When he heard that Hu was coming, he immediately got up to summon him. Hu told Zhu Di what he had learned, and he didn't come out until he left out four drums (about two o'clock in the morning). Before Hu's visit to China, it was rumored that emperor Jianwen had gone from the sea. In the third year of Yongle, Zhu Di assigned eunuch Zheng He and others to float to the Western Ocean (i.e. "Zheng He's Voyages") to find emperor Jianwen and show China's prosperity. Only then did Zhu Di get rid of his doubts.

Working in Nanjing

The crown prince Zhu gaochi supervised the state in Nanjing, and the Han King Zhu gaoxu made rumors to slander and destroy the crown prince. Zhu Di changed Hu to Nanjing and ordered him to investigate the matter. After Hu Bi arrived, he secretly sent him to Beijing to report the seven affairs of the crown prince's supervision of the country, and said that the crown prince was sincere, filial and had no other faults. Zhu Di was very happy.

In the 22nd year of Yongle (1424), Zhu gaochi, the emperor of Mingren, ascended the throne and called Hu to Beijing as the Minister of rites. Hu put forward ten reasons in his letter, saying that it was inconvenient to build the capital of Beijing, and asked Renzong to return to Nanjing, so as to save the heavy north-south transshipment supply costs. Renzong praised and adopted it. Later, I heard that he once played on the emperor, so I doubted him and didn't call him to Beijing. Hu was transferred to be a guest of the crown prince and served as a sacrificial wine for the Imperial Academy of Nanjing.

Love the sun

In the first year of Hongxi (1425), Renzong died, Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, and Hu Bi moved back to be the Minister of rites.

In the first year of Xuande (1426), Hu came to court. Xuanzong left him in the Ministry of rites, and soon he was promoted to minister of rites. In the same year, Zhu gaoxu, king of the Han Dynasty, conspired against Xuanzong, and Hu and Yang Rong supported Xuanzong's personal expedition. After the rebellion subsided, Xuanzong gave him a great reward.

In the second year of Xuande (1427), Xuanzong gave a house at the right gate of Chang'an, the capital, to Hu Luo, two gatekeepers, and four silver medals. On Hu's birthday, Xuanzong celebrated with a banquet at Hu's home.

In the fourth year of Xuande (1429), Hu was also in charge of the affairs of Zhan Shifu.

In 1431, he was also in charge of the Ministry of military affairs. At that time, there were more and more items of state expenditure, and Hu was worried about the shortage of property. Hu often stopped him from carrying out the imperial edict of tax reduction and exemption. Xuanzong had earnestly warned him, but he did not reduce his preferential treatment. Xuanzong once hosted a banquet for Hu Gu, Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi, saying: "there is no danger in the world, and it all depends on the strength of the four people, such as Qing."

In the ninth year of Xuande (1435), when Xuanzong was dying, he entrusted the prince Zhu Qizhen to five people, Zhang Fu, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and Hu Liao. These five people were collectively known as the "five ministers of Tuogu in Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty". He was 38 years old

Orthodoxy ascends the throne

After Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty issued an imperial edict to save excessive expenses. Therefore, he reduced the supply of Yingzong, and cut down 400 or 500 monks under the Fawang, which greatly reduced the floating expenses.

In the fifth year of Zhengtong (1440), when there was a famine in Shanxi Province, the imperial court issued an imperial edict for relief and pension, but later ordered officials to go out to buy materials. Hu wrote that the emperor's edict should be true. He also said that the military flag school sought to be sent, and they harassed the people as soon as they went out. This move should be withdrawn. It's all approved. Hu's seal in the Ministry of rites was lost. Yingzong issued an edict not to be guilty and ordered to recast it. Later, the seal was lost again, and Hu was impeached and jailed. Soon, the seal was found and Hu was reinstated.

In the ninth year of Zhengtong (1444), Hu was 70 years old. He asked to be an official, but Yingzong refused.

Helping to capture orthodoxy

In the ninth year of Xuande, Zhu Qizhen, who was nine years old, ascended the throne. In February, she honored the Zhang family (empress Zhang) as the Empress Dowager. Empress Zhang took a seat in the hall. Yingzong stood facing the West and called the British Duke Zhang Fu, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and Hu Luo into the palace. Zhang said to them, "you are all old ministers. Now the emperor is young. I hope you can work together to maintain the stability of the country . We should discuss everything with them. " These five senior officials are regarded as the core of orthodox politics. Zhang specially called Yang Pu forward and said, "emperor Renzong Nianqing is loyal and sighs many times. I don't want to see you today." Yang Pu was moved to tears, the Empress Dowager also shed tears, and the people around him were very sad. After a while, another eunuch named Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen knelt down on the ground. Zhang's face suddenly changed and he yelled: "you don't follow the rules when you wait on the emperor. You should die!" The female officials next to him rose up and put the knife on Wang Zhen's neck, which made Wang Zhen tremble. At this time, Yingzong and the five ministers knelt down to intercede for Wang Zhen, and Zhang spared him. Then he warned him, "people like you have been wronging the people's country since ancient times. The emperor is young. How do you know! Now because the emperor and his ministers have spoken for you and spared you this time, if you do it again in the future, you will not be spared. " Since then, Zhang often sent people to the cabinet to inquire about political affairs. Once he learned that Wang Zhen was arbitrary and did not submit it to the cabinet for discussion, he immediately sent people to call Wang Zhen to blame him. Therefore, in Zhang's lifetime, Wang Zhen was not really good at politics.

Help to set the court

In the 14th year of Zhengtong (1449), during the "civil engineering change", Yingzong was captured, and the officials gathered in the court to cry bitterly. Some people suggested moving south. Hu said: "Emperor Wen (Zhu Di) arranged the mausoleum here to show his descendants that he would not move the capital any more." His opinions were consistent with those of Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of war. It was only after this that the hearts of Chinese and foreign people were determined, and Zhu Qiyu's position was firmly established.

Later, when he first attacked Beijing, he asked Hu to go out of the city for negotiation. Hu proposed that he should go out of the city by himself, but the emperor of Ming Dynasty didn't approve it, so he gave up.

Assist Jingtai

In the fourteenth year of Zhengtong, Yingzong was captured by Zhu Qiyu. With the help of Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of war, Shi Heng, Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, Chen Xun, the Bachelor of the cabinet, and Hu Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of rites, he was able to win the Beijing defense war.

After the end of the capital defense war, Zhu Qiyu, who was the emperor, attached great importance to Yu Qian, Wang Hong, Peng Shi, Shang Li, Chen Xun, Wang Wen, Hu Li, Xiao Li and others. He rectified and reformed the political, economic, military and other aspects, promoting the Ming Dynasty's politics from chaos to prosperity. At the same time, the flood was controlled, and the famous general geographic records of the world was made. In just a few years, the Ming Dynasty recovered its decline and prospered. It was a wise leader.

On the ceremony of the Emperor

After Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne in the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to be the crown prince. In the same year, Zhao Rong, the right Minister of the Ministry of industry, Yang Shan, the imperial censor of Youdu, and other envoys also took the lead. Hu said that the Emperor (i.e. Yingzong) had been captured for a long time, so he should take clothes and food with him, and there was no return. When Yingzong was coming back, he ordered the Ministry of rites to make the etiquette of welcome. Hu and others suggested that officials from the Ministry of rites should be sent to the dragon and tiger platform to meet them. The royal guards should prepare to drive at Juyong Pass to meet them. The officials should go outside the Tucheng to meet them. The generals should go to the school gate to meet them. The emperor should enter the capital from Andingmen, enter the Dong'an gate, and sit in the south of the East and north gate. After the Daizong visit, the officials should go to court, and then the emperor should enter the south city. After this proposal was submitted, Dai Zong passed down the imperial edict, saying that one sedan chair and two horses should be used to meet Juyong Pass, and then the driver should be changed after Andingmen. The others are as follows.

Liu Fu and others said that the etiquette was too light, and Daizong replied, "I respect my elder brother as the supreme emperor. This is no more etiquette. Liu Fu and others also said that the ceremony is too light, what is their intention? The Ministry of rites should gather officials to investigate him in detail. " Hu and others said: "these ministers have no other intention. They just want to make your Majesty's family harmonious and profound." Daizong said: "yesterday I received a letter from the emperor, saying that the greeting ceremony should be simple. How can I go against it?" I dare not say. At the same time, Gong suirong wrote a letter to Gao Gu, a bachelor, saying that the ceremony should be generous, and mentioning the story of emperor suzong of Tang Dynasty welcoming the emperor. Gao Gu's clothes were brought into the court in his sleeves, and Hu and Wang Zhi watched together. Wang Zhi and Hu Xiang
