The court meeting.
On this day, the emperor finally made a positive reply to the memorial that he had previously left unpublished regarding his participation in the impeachment of Wang Yue.
The result was that Wang Yue was "taken away from his position and lived idle".
Wang Yue in the court did not react too fiercely, because he knew that this was just a cover for the outside world. He was about to take orders to go to the northwest, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion, and even the lords on the three sides. , will cooperate with him.
Only the North Korean and Chinese civil servants were concealed.
After the court meeting, the ministers just walked out of the Meridian Gate.
Xie Qian said, "Your Majesty had promised before that he would not investigate Wang Weining thoroughly, but why is he so uncharacteristic today?"
The civil servants who can best grasp the emperor's thoughts are naturally the three people in the cabinet.
They usually had the most contact with the emperor, and almost watched Zhu Youtang grow up. When Zhu Youtang was the prince, they began to study the character of this seemingly cowardly prince.
Li Dongyang shook his head, "It shouldn't be as simple as just taking over the position. If there is still war in the northwest, His Majesty will definitely still think highly of him."
Because there is no equal access to information now. , Li Dongyang could not analyze the emperor's intention from the situation he learned before him. He only felt that the emperor was unwilling to let Wang Yue leave the capital and let him live in the capital. He probably wanted to call him at any time.
In the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youtang sent someone to call Zhang Zhou. After calling the people, not even Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others were allowed to stay, only Zhang Zhou was left.
He wanted to have a private discussion with Zhang Zhou.
Dai Yi and others were naturally a little bit dissatisfied. Even though the emperor summoned Zhang Zhou earlier and gave Zhang Zhou his trust, he did not say that he would drive them out during the conversation. Today, it seems that the emperor just wants to find someone. Let’s talk, even they eunuchs are considered outsiders.
"Your Majesty"
"Sit"
Zhu Youtang also walked out from behind the desk and sat down on the chair in front of Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou looked at Zhu Youtang and felt that the emperor was very emotional today.
"I have left Wang Weining free at court today. When I turn around, I will ask the British Duke to send a message. I will grant an audience to Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui, Xiangcheng Bo Li Ao, and Wu Ping Bo Chen Xun to coordinate with them. He will leave in the next two days for the battle in the northwest."
Zhu Youtang first told Zhang Zhou about the military arrangements.
Because Zhang Zhou was the mastermind of the whole thing, it means that the news was only spread within a small area to avoid being discovered by the Tatars.
So even the civil servants don’t know.
Because Wang Yue went to the northwest in secret, if the northwest army generals saw Wang Yue rashly, they might think that Wang Yue was going to rebel, which would require the cooperation of the governor's office.
Pingjiang Bo, Xiangcheng Bo, and Wu Pingbo are not ordinary relatives of noble origins, but martial warriors who can fight tough battles.
"In addition, I also plan to send an internal officer to supervise the army. Who do you think is suitable?"
Zhu Youtang asked seriously who should be the eunuch to supervise the army. .
Zhang Zhou said, "How can I be qualified?""Ge proposal"
"You can do it. "Zhu Youtang said, "If we are just looking for eunuchs to guard the northwest, I would still be a little worried."
The implication is that he only wants to find trustworthy eunuchs in the palace, those who have no contact with him at ordinary times. Although the guarding eunuch knew more about military affairs and social affairs in the northwest than those in the palace, it was difficult for Zhu Youtang to trust him because of his resistance to strangers.
Zhang Zhou tried to ask, " I wonder what Zhang Yong is like, Eunuch Zhang”
“Oh Zhang Yong”
Zhu Youtang was very surprised that Zhang Zhou would mention the unknown Zhang Yong.
Zhang Zhou said, “I am just making suggestions based on my own ideas.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "I thought you would recommend Xiao Jing and the others. You said Zhang Yong. It seems that he really knows something." I agreed. ”
Zhang Zhou thought for a while, is this looking for trouble for himself? Zhang Yong will make certain achievements in the military in the future, but he is still only a lieutenant general. It is not necessarily said that he knows much about marching and fighting.
p>And starting from the Zhengde period, Zhang Yong first acted as the Eight Tigers, and then Qian Ning Jiang Bin acted as the villain.
“Oh Bingkuan. , I came to you this time. Actually, I mainly want to talk to you about the prince. You don’t know, but he has a map of the northwest you drew in his hand."
Zhu Youtang seemed to be confused. Like Ku Shui, he told Zhang Zhou that it was not easy for him to discipline the prince.
Obviously, he had never mentioned these words to others.
This was probably why he wanted to express his gratitude to Dai Yi. The reason why others turned away was that he was only willing to say these words in front of Zhang Zhou. It was a kind of sharing.
After Zhang Zhou heard the emperor's words, he probably didn't care about the prince's studies but military affairs. It’s something I’m very passionate about, and I’m quite worried about it.
“The Ming Dynasty was founded on culture, and things on horseback are a bit old. "Zhu Youtang said, "Even before the late emperor passed away, he told me that we should not use force in the future. ”
Zhang Zhou thought to himself, Emperor Chenghua also told you this
It seems that the emperor also understood that if the status of generals is raised, there will be rebellions in various places like the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In this situation, only by suppressing the military power of the military and letting civilian officials govern the country can the stability of the imperial power be generally guaranteed.
But if the country is established by civil servants, there will be a shortage of military equipment.
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, the prince is interested in military affairs and has certain talents. It seems that I should not stop him blindly. There is nothing wrong with letting him learn some. "
Zhu Youtang nodded.
Zhang Zhou did not cater to him blindly, but put forward different views, which gave the dialogue between the monarch and his ministers a more deliberation flavor.< /p>
Only with equality can this kind of conversation continue
Otherwise, Zhu Youtang should talk to the eunuch, or talk to the minister, or talk to him Zhang Zhou, what else. The difference
The eunuchs and civil servants will never allow the prince to learn military tactics or build a country with force.
"You think,Should he be encouraged?" Zhu Youtang asked seriously.
Zhang Zhoudao said, "It's not encouragement, but a little guidance. I gave the prince a map before, just to let him understand the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, so that he can Understand the importance of nine-sided defense. In my opinion, as a prince, if he only learns the Four Books and Five Classics, he will inevitably be biased in assisting in governing the country, but he should be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Folks say that if you read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, a prince cannot travel in the world, but he should have the mentality to travel in the world. "
"Okay" Zhu Youtang nodded with satisfaction, seeming to admire this very much, "You can't do it in the world, but you must have the heart to do it in the world. I feel that you are the only one who can truly serve the prince and the Ming Dynasty." . ”
Zhang Zhou quickly saluted, “Your Majesty’s words are serious. I just want to teach the prince what I know.” ”
Zhu Youtang smiled.
A father has different thoughts on educating his son than those gentlemen.
He also hopes that his son Zhu Youtang once had no doubts about the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical education, art, and labor, rather than just being a nerd. As for being a king who valued civility over military affairs in accordance with the requirements of civil officials, Zhu Youtang once had no doubts about it. However, as he grew up and encountered obstacles on the way to governing the country, With more things happening, he will naturally no longer be as biased as before.
Why doesn’t Zhu Youtang want to work hard so that Ming can clear the grassland?
I just think about it, but I don’t dare. Just do it.
The ministers’ intention is to control the imperial power, regulate the emperor into the model they want, and respect the people over the emperor.
If the emperor is also like this. Unless the emperor has masochistic tendencies
Who doesn’t want to speak out, but sometimes he can’t speak out?
“Bingkuan, I don’t know what to say now about Cheng Minzheng. , have you heard about it?" Zhu Youtang changed the subject again and began to discuss with Zhang Zhou the almost ridiculous question.
Zhang Zhou nodded.
Zhu You Zang said, "I asked Xiao Jing to tell you, actually to let you know that what you are worried about, that Cheng Minzheng is rejected by others, seems to be true, but I don't think that in the matter of being the examiner for the general examination, "I should tolerate it"
What
Zhang Zhou wanted to say.
Now that others are so resistant to Cheng Minzheng, you still have to face the difficulties and let Cheng Minzheng Be the examiner
Are you masochistic or just stubborn
"I think Cheng Minzheng is the most knowledgeable and talented person in the world. With his talent, he may be able to take charge of the Hanlin Academy and enter the Imperial Academy." Ge's words may be inappropriate based on the way he conducts himself. " Zhu Youtang sighed.
Zhang Zhou nodded.
This is really to the point.
Engage in academic research and follow the political circles , there is an essential difference.
Cheng Minzheng is only suitable to be a scholar, not an official.
Because Cheng Minzheng is still stuck in the kind of political thinking of "I want to do it." In the elementary thinking of "just do whatever you want, you don't need to consider other people's ideas", if you were an ordinary person, you would be taking the test yourself next year and you might even be the examiner.
Don’t you understand the most basic avoidance of suspicion?
If you are from the mainstream civil servant faction of the imperial court, that’s fine. The key is that you have a strong reputation and are not on the same team as others, and you still want to be so successful< /p>
Politics is a very mysterious thing, and even Zhang Zhou felt that Cheng Minzheng was not suitable for a high position.
The higher you climb, the harder you fall.
Zhu Youtang said, "I should still hand it over to him for this general examination. This can be regarded as telling you in advance who will be the chief examiner of the next year's general examination."
"Your Majesty, you It’s not appropriate to discuss this with me.” Zhang Zhou wanted to persuade him, but he didn’t know where to start.
I am just an examinee, even the examiner you have to discuss with me
Are you a little too trusting
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't follow you." Who can you discuss with?"
As he spoke, Zhu Youtang was somewhat helpless.
Zhang Zhou was right to think about it.
The emperor lacked close friends.
There are some things you can’t say to the eunuch.
I can’t talk to the ministers. How can I tell them that I just admire Cheng Minzheng and want to use him? You should stop deliberately targeting him
“Bingkuan, I’m going to change my mind soon. It’s the next year, and the examination is about to begin. My biggest hope now is that you can pass the Jinshi examination. Regardless of whether you are a Dingjia or not, I will let you enter the palace and serve as a lecturer on the Jingyan Day. In the future, I don’t have to do this again. I have called you into the palace, and you can come at any time."
Zhu Youtang had a conversation with Zhang Zhou and felt much better.
The expression is somewhat clear.
Zhang Zhou said, "I am ashamed to be a minister."
When you become an official in the East Palace, you can enter the palace at any time. Zhang Zhouxin said, you won't have to be on call at that time, but you can't be like now. I used exam preparation as an excuse.
"For the selection of the Imperial College, I have already said hello to the people in Hanyuan and asked Xiao Jing to pass the message on my behalf. If they don't select you, I will transfer some papers and I will do it myself. I heard that you made a bet with Lin Jijiu."
Zhu Youtang is well-informed.
Zhang Zhou said, "Yes."
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "You are just too casual and too public. It is easy to be targeted as an official. What about Cheng Minzheng?" . Okay, I will help you. I actually want to see how Lin Jijiu loses to the younger generation. I am afraid that he is too concerned about his face and cannot afford to lose. Don't annoy him. After all, he will be a minister in the same palace in the future. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
