Cabinet value room.
Liu Jian went to the official office and did not return to the duty room until sunset in the afternoon.
He had a straight face, and Xie Qian and Li Dongyang looked as if something had happened.
"Something happened in the official's house," Xie Qian stepped forward and asked.
Liu Jian took out a folded book and put it on the table. Xie Qian didn't even take it, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Liu Jian said, "Your Majesty approved Yang Jiefu four times." After a month's leave, he was asked to go back to Xindu, Sichuan to visit his parents and set off today."
"What is this?" Xie Qian smiled bitterly.
Just when Yang Tinghe, Zhang Yuanzhen and Wang Hao were asked to compete for the Hanlin bachelor's degree, the emperor sent Yang Tinghe back to his hometown to visit relatives
Li Dongyang asked, "It was Jiefu who proposed it himself"
"No." Liu Jian said, "I asked someone specifically to ask, but there was no news from Shu. Your Majesty clearly did not want Jiefu to come out to compete for the Hanlin bachelor's degree."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Xie Qian made a strange sound in his mouth, "No wonder the Yin Gong came here before and said he came to see you. I guess it was just to talk about this matter and he would come again later. Your Majesty said this to Wang Jizhi Do you admire it, but why?"
Even if the three cabinet members don't think about it thoroughly, they generally know it in their mind.
Wang Hao has been promoted like a rocket in the past period, isn't it just because he selected Zhang Zhou for Jieyuan in the Jiangnan Provincial Examination
Could it be that the emperor also admired him for something else
When it comes to teaching the prince, none of the lecturers in the East Palace are necessarily better than the other. On the contrary, the teacher most respected by the civil service group is actually Wang Shouren's father, Wang Hua. With Wang Hua's caution, although he is still an official He may not have very high qualifications, but he has always been praised for his diligent teaching.
In terms of personal relationships, Liu Jian and Wang Hua have a better relationship.
It’s the same problem again. Wang Hua doesn’t look like a politician, so when they selected Hanlin Bachelor this time, they had no intention of recommending Wang Hua.
Then Dai Yi came as expected.
Seeing that Liu Jian was here, Dai Yi did not shy away from Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, and immediately explained for the emperor that he had sent Yang Tinghe back to Sichuan to visit relatives.
Dai Yidao said, "Your Majesty means that the Ming Dynasty should establish filial piety first, and then talk about being an official. Filial piety, etiquette and etiquette have always been the most important qualities for officials. Today, Yang Shi's parents are still there. If he doesn't go back to visit for a long time, it will be against his filial piety, so this time not only did your majesty grant Yang Shishuo a leave to visit relatives, but also his younger brother, Yang Tingyi, who just became a Jinshi."
Liu Jian listened. I don't have the nerve to refute.
Don’t think I haven’t asked about it. In fact, Yang Jiefu has never asked to go back to visit relatives. Any approval of leave is basically an order to take a holiday.
Xie Qian smiled and said, "Eunuch Dai, this Yang Now that the minister has left, what should we do with the candidates for Hanlin bachelor's degree? When the court recommended three candidates, there are only two left, but one or two people need to be added."
Dai Yi looked at Xie Qian, so Zuo was surprised and said, "Mr. Xie Ge, does he think that His Majesty wants to restrictYang Shi talks about his official career. Oh, you three elders, please don’t misunderstand His Majesty’s painstaking efforts. His Majesty has also made it clear that as long as Yang Shi talks about his official career, no matter who or how many Hanlin scholars there are at that time, he or she will surely succeed. He was promoted and made a Hanlin scholar, and he was even given the errands of the Dean of the Academy and Zhan Shifu. "
"What"
Xie Qian frowned, what kind of method is this?
He also glanced at Li Dongyang, wanting to see the answer in Li Dongyang's eyes , but Li Dongyang obviously didn't understand the emperor's intention of doing this.
To pave the way for Wang Jizhi to be promoted to a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy, we all understand that Yang Jiefu can go back to Sichuan, and the time spent on the road will be four. Months, let Yang Jiefu be a Hanlin bachelor after four months.
Your Majesty, if you think you must use Wang Jizhi, you can promote Wang Jizhi and Yang Jiefu to Hanlin bachelors now. Why are you here? What about one set?
Liu Jian was more cautious and asked, "Is this done for sure?"
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian then realized that just relying on Dai Yi's empty talk here, It is said that Yang Tinghe will become a Hanlin bachelor after returning to the capital after visiting relatives, but it is not accurate. This may be the emperor's delaying strategy.
Waiting for Wang Hao to be promoted, Yang Tinghe returned to the court four months later. If he does not fulfill his promise of promoting him to a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy, the civil servants will still be unable to succeed.
Dai Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the three ministers. Your Majesty will make this clear when the court will discuss it again tomorrow." "
The emperor actually implemented this matter in front of the ministers
It is even more impossible to figure out the intention behind it.
Xie Qian said, "Your Majesty What is the purpose of letting Yang Hanlin return to Sichuan and Shu? It's just to show filial piety."
Dai Yi sighed, "Three pavilion elders, there are some things that you shouldn't ask, and our family shouldn't say either. , but in His Majesty's view, Yang Shi's words about the constraints on future promotion may be a bit distasteful when both of his parents are still here, but if he is a benevolent minister and cannot even do the most basic filial piety, How can I be a good minister of the Ming Dynasty and settle my parents well before promotion? Isn’t it also a model of benevolent ministers?"
Xie Qian smiled bitterly.
I heard such a bizarre and nonsense excuse in my heart. I am almost convinced.
Because I really can’t figure out what the emperor’s intention is.
Is it just to arrange for Wang Hao and Yang Ting to be Hanlin bachelors? sequence, to prepare for promoting Wang Hao to the cabinet in the future. But the problem is that there is no rule that only Hanlin bachelors can join the cabinet. When I thanked someone and Binzhi for joining the cabinet, I had not been a Hanlin bachelor.
I can’t figure it out.
“Three pavilion elders, our family will make it clear to you about His Majesty’s intentions. If the three of you have no objections, then it would be better to explain it to you in the morning meeting tomorrow. You can rest assured that Wang Hao will be promoted to Hanlin bachelor. Your Majesty will definitely tell Yang Shi clearly about his promotion back to the court. "What Dai Yi means is that Your Majesty has already treated you as a courtesy by asking me to make it clear to you.
Would you like to make a statement first so that I can go back and communicate with the emperor?
Li Dongyang asked, "What about Zhang Yuanzhen, the Nanjing lecturer?"
Dai Yidao "The Nanjing Hanlin Academy also needs someone who is in charge of the affairs of the academy, and it is not easy to replace him. He still doesn't make any changes, what do you think?"
Li Dongyang thought about it, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.
If the recommendation results in Zhang Yuanzhen becoming a Hanlin bachelor, it would not be troublesome enough to have him take charge of the affairs of the Nanjing Hanlin Academy.
The point is that this Zhang Yuanzhen is not one of theirs yet. He was recommended by Xu Qiong. It is impossible for him to act according to their logic when he arrives in the capital. So it doesn’t matter whether he is used or not. Now The emperor obviously skipped Xu Qiong and discussed directly with the cabinet. Let's compromise and promote Wang Hao first, and then wait for Yang Tinghe to return to the capital before promoting him. Everyone will be happy.
As for Xu Qiong’s request, who cares
Liu Jian thought for a long time, nodded and said, "If your Majesty really intends to employ people in this way, the cabinet can support it. Please report back to Eunuch Dai."
"Okay, okay." Dai Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of private blending. This was also a way of court recommendation. When there was a rift between the emperor and the ministers, he would do it. A compromise should be discussed in private first, and then we can make a show of it in front of others in the court. Except for Xu Qiong and a few ministers who may have a thorn in their hearts, who will care about others?
Dai Yi is about to Gotta go.
Li Dongyang asked, "Is there any news from Liaodong recently?"
"No." Dai Yi smiled and shook his head, "According to Mr. Zhang's guess, it was probably in the past few days. "Be patient."
"Haha." It was Xie Qian who laughed.
There was a bit of ridicule in his smile, probably because he felt that March was about to pass, and it was rare that Your Majesty and your Eunuch Dai still believed that his prediction could be fulfilled
Don't go to waste.
As soon as Dai Yi left.
The three cabinet members immediately started internal meetings within their small circle.
"What is the purpose of His Majesty's move?" , why do you want to do this?"
Liu Jian thought for a while and shook his head.
This matter does not seem to be understandable using normal logic.
"Bin Zhi, what do you think?" Liu Jian had to rely on Li Dongyang's cunning at critical moments.
Li Dongyang shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty's move gives me a feeling, it is like Yang Jiefu returning to Sichuan and never coming back."
"Yeah"
Liu Jian frowned.
Listening to this, the emperor seems to be looking for someone to deal with Yang Tinghe on the way. Otherwise, how can he not come back?
"And it gives me the feeling that His Majesty is doing it out of good intentions. , not malicious," Li Dongyang added.
Both of youDon't think blindly. I didn't say that His Majesty wanted to kill Yang Tinghe. Not to mention the current emperor, no matter how stupid and unscrupulous the emperor was, he couldn't just kill someone just because Yang Tinghe had a conflict with his servant. This is too unreasonable.
As for the competition in the court, it did not reach the point of life and death.
Xie Qian said, "Is it possible that His Majesty wants to transfer the husband to Nanjing?"
This made Liu Jian and Li Dongyang think about it.
Although the emperor said that he could promote Yang Tinghe to be a Hanlin bachelor after he returned to the capital, he did not say that he must stay in the Northern Hanlin Academy. Could it be that a Hanlin bachelor was transferred to Nanjing to take charge of Nanjing Hanlin Academy affairs? Isn't it also a kind of employer who can use Wang Hao's calm work in the Northern Hanlin Academy to win my approval and other reasons, saying that Wang Hao is irreplaceable?
For this kind of thing, the emperor is using Xu Qiong He had already done this once when he replaced Ni Yue as Minister of Rites.
Li Dongyang said, "We must be careful about this matter and not let His Majesty transfer the husband to Nanjing. At the same time, we must also worry about His Majesty's employment of personnel, which will cause confusion among the people in the Hanlin Academy, so Yu Qiao must go to appease him." That's it."
"Okay."
Liu Jian immediately understood Li Dongyang's intention.
Although our cabinet understands that this is the result of "collaboration" with the emperor, the ministers below, especially those in the Hanlin Academy system, may not think so.
They will feel that His Majesty can use whoever he wants as a Hanlin bachelor. Even Yang Tinghe, who was recommended by the orthodox faction, will be sent back to his hometown to rest for four months. This is simply a shock to us. In the future, we should still pay more attention to the emperor when doing things, and we cannot listen to the cabinet in everything.
Once the ministers below have this idea, it will be difficult for the three cabinet members to lead the civil service team.
At this time, it is necessary to have an eloquent past to comfort and clarify the interests, and this job must be done by You Kankan's Xie Qian.
That day was the first day that Xinke Jinshi was assigned to various yamen.
Tang Yin watched the government at the Ministry of Works. He came out of the Ministry of Works and returned to his temporary residence. He was in a bad mood. After all, he had to go to Zhang Zhou's house to "apprentice", or to be called, recently. Pay homage to my senior brother.
This was the result of his own defeat, and he shouldn’t blame others, but he couldn’t even afford a decent apprenticeship gift now. Plus, thinking of Zhang Zhou’s public appearance, Tang Yin felt that he He clashed with Zhang Zhou, saying that Zhang Zhou was kind to him, but the last thing in the world that people want to face is a benefactor, and the last thing they want to repay is a benefactor.
It would be best not to see him again for the rest of his life.
"Bohu"
Just when Tang Yin opened the latch of the rented courtyard and was about to enter, a familiar voice came from the direction of the alley.
A man ran toward him with an excited face.
It was Xu Jing, an old acquaintance whom he had not seen for nearly a month.
At this time, Xu Jing was still dressed in luxurious clothes. Even if he was assigned to a local official as a minor official, the Xu family was still a family.The cause was great, and the honor of being a civil servant was not deprived, so Xu Jing could still dress appropriately and go out to meet people.
Tang Yin frowned.
Actually, he doesn't want to have much to do with Xu Jing now, because Xu Jing himself admitted that he gave gold to Cheng Minzheng's family when he visited Cheng Minzheng. If Xu Jing hadn't done this, Tang Yin wouldn't have done it. Although Tang Yin felt that his life was a little more miserable without Xu Jing as a big benefactor, fortunately he could be an official with peace of mind.
For him, passing the Jinshi examination is much more important than having financial support.
"Why is it you?" For the sake of face, Tang Yin still had to greet Xu Jing.
Xu Jing said with a mournful face, "Bohu, you can make it easy for me to find you. I have explored many places in this capital city. Someone gave you directions for a long time, but they didn't point out your specific residence." , why did you move here?"
Xu Jing also felt strange that Tang Yin, now that you have passed the Jinshi examination, can't find a better place to live
Rich people naturally understand I can't bear the suffering of a down-and-out person like Tang Yin.
Tang Yin said, "This place is closer to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. It is still a separate courtyard, which is not easy. Originally, I planned to rent a place outside Zhengyangmen."
Tang Yin said I'm embarrassed to say that I had to pay back the money I owed the inn before. I was able to rent this place only with the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes given by the emperor, which I sold among the people at a very low discount. After paying two taels of silver, I finally settled down. At that time, Xu Jing said you should let go and let me go. You also said you wanted to find me after finishing the project. Why didn’t you find me? It was me who harmed you." Xu Jing looked regretful.
Tang Yin asked, "You came to me, do you have anything else? I heard that you are not going to Zhejiang now."
Xu Jingdao, "Bohu, can we go in and talk?"
"It's shabby inside, let's talk about it here." Tang Yin didn't intend to invite Xu Jing in.
Communicate with the main suspect in the case, and you may not know how others will gossip if they find out.
Xu Jingdao said, "I heard that you have accepted Master Zhang as your teacher. Can you recommend me to him?"
"You"
Tang Yin became angry when he heard this.
Emotions, Xu Jing, you came to see me because you wanted to get something out of me
Master Zhang, this title is really kind. It sounds like you are already a His disciples are average. < /p>
"Bohu, please forgive me. I said it wrong because I think he is a brother. He is a senior brother. Please calm down. You also know that I am in trouble now. I am a small official in Zhejiang. That is more uncomfortable than killing me." , can I go and take up the post? Besides, I am still guilty. If I can't clear up my guilt, I won't have the shame to return to Jiangyin."
Xu Jing stayed in the capital, obviously to give himself a chance. Wash away "grievances"”.
In the eyes of others, Xu Jing brought the blame on himself.
But Xu Jing himself didn’t think so. He was just like others, giving some gold to Cheng Minzheng’s disciples , got the opportunity to pay a special visit but did not discuss the issue, and others could not provide evidence, how could he become a guilty person
Xu Jing in history was also very concerned about the fact that he could not take the imperial examination. However, he did not hesitate to use his family property to bribe the court officials at the time in order to obtain an amnesty. His activities reached their peak after the death of Emperor Hongzhi.
But. It's a pity that no one can help him.
In the second year of Zhengde, Xu Jing died of depression at the age of 34.
His descendants will have Xu Xiake. There should be smoke even if you lie in the ancestral grave.
“I can’t help it. "Tang Yin immediately refused.
I finally got out of prison and got the title of Jinshi. Let me run for you and I haven't blamed you for harming me.
Xu Jing saw Tang Yin With a serious look on his face, he said, "Bohu, let's get to know each other. If you really don't want to save me, I won't ask you for help. I just ask you to recommend me. Now this Master Zhang has a good reputation in the court, and many people are fawning over him." No, it’s just you, even if you have looked down upon him before, he is willing to support you, presumably because he appreciates your talent and ability."
Tang Yin interrupted Xu Jing's words and said, "With his talent, No need to appreciate me. ”
Just kidding.
He is Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and Number One Scholar. I have always been favored by him. They are both Jinshi in the same department and the same year. Why does he admire me?
Even Master Wang Cuo admired me and ignored me now, expecting Nian Yi to help me
Tang Yin regarded the fact that he went to worship Zhang Zhou as his senior brother as Zhang Zhou’s He didn't think it was a great honor to be punished, and he just wanted to fulfill the bet, and it was also a way to fulfill Zhang Zhou's kindness in helping him with the case.
As for Tang Yin thinking about the future. He felt that even if he wanted to follow Zhang Zhou, Zhang Zhou would not agree, so it would be better to get to know him early, complete the apprenticeship, and then go his separate ways.
"Bohu, I'll give you two hundred taels." Yinzi, as long as you are willing to introduce me, I don’t ask for the imperial court to overturn the result of the Wan proposal. I just want to follow Master Zhang in front and back. I have no hope in this life. If this doesn’t happen, let alone myself, and even future generations. I will all bear the infamy."
"Bohu, please. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
