Chapter 15 Xu Youzhen

The attitude of the emperor himself can show a lot of things.

Since Zhu Qizhen participated in the politics of the court, he has shown great importance to practical talents. This point has the greatest impact on the Hallym Temple.

Because according to the previous rules, the ministers of the Hanlin Academy only need to sit on the cold bench for ten years to enter the top six departments of the cabinet.

Of course, the cold bench of the Hanlin Academy in the past ten years is not a white seat.

The main job of the Hanlin Academy was to draft documents for the imperial court. Even the cabinet is hung in the Hanlin Academy. This kind of inheritance relationship, Zhu Qizhen did not move.

Because it's useless if it's not moved.

Even if he lists the cabinet separately, many habits are inherited, and what should be done.

It's like the first machine department, the second machine department, and the third machine department in the previous dynasty, even if it is split and merged, can the connections between them be separated?

The explicit rules are easy to break, but the unspoken rules are not.

And Zhu Qizhen also admitted that the background of the Hanlin Academy is also helpful for the minister to control the overall situation.

There are pros and cons to any rule.

There are also many things that the Hanlin Academy is in charge of. He managed various documents, wrote historical materials, drafted edicts, and served as a teacher for the emperor and an examiner. Wait a minute.

It can be said that as long as the Hanlin official does a good job. Have a very detailed understanding of the central management of the Ming Dynasty. And being the examiner can also make a large number of connections, just wait for the position.

But Zhu Qizhen showed that he attaches great importance to practical talents. Although it is still broken, non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet. But it seems to the discerning person that it is a matter of time.

If it weren't for Yang Pu's operation, Yu Qian would definitely be the first minister to break this situation.

After all, Yu Qian's family name is too low, more than a hundred.

In the Hanlin Academy, they are all first-class smart people, and in the face of such a situation, they naturally have all kinds of ideas.

Some people feel that it is better to be still than to be still, after all, Hanlin Yuan is close to Ouchi, and there is always a time to stand out, and it may not be bad to follow the steps, after all, so many predecessors have come up like this before.

However, there are some people who are actively seeking foreign officials. 、

Xu Youzhen is one of the representatives.

He was the same year as Cao Nai.

took Cao Nai's way and went to Korea as an envoy.

Before he left Beijing, Zhu Qizhen specially summoned him and emphasized three things, the first thing was that the Ming Dynasty's sea ships docked at the North Korean port and passed through the Tsushima Strait, asking the North Korean side to provide convenience, and even if the imperial court could not transfer grain, it even asked the North Korea to borrow 100,000 stone of grain and grass in advance.

The second thing is that if everything goes well, he can go to Japan with Wang Ying, the chief military officer of the maritime transport, and question the Japanese Japanese for a day, asking the Japanese king to take care of his own country, otherwise he should not be unpredictable.

The third thing is the situation of all the mountains and rivers along the way, humanities

The information must be collected secretly without being discovered by the other party, and it will be compiled into a book, and presented to Ouchi after returning to Japan.

Jin Yiwei is hard enough, but the direction of Jin Yiwei is more of a thorn. There is still concern about North Korea, but for Japan's arrangement, it is much worse.

In particular, there is very little knowledge about Japan,

I just know that from the Xuande period to now, the Ashikaga family has changed three generals.

Ashikaga Yoshikyo, Ashikaga Yoshikatsu, Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

And because of Japan's strange nomenclature principles, for a while, Zhu Qizhen couldn't figure out what the relationship between the three of them was, father and son? Is it a brother? Especially in the past two years, Ashikaga Yoshikyo died first, and then Ashikaga Yoshikatsu also died about a year after ascending to the throne, and now it is Ashikaga Yoshimasa who is in power.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know about the situation of this Japanese king, and he didn't know if he died again one day.

Yes, Emperor Taizu made Ashikaga Yoshimitsu the king of Japan. Therefore, the Japanese emperor does not exist in the Ming court system, it is a black household, and the court does not recognize it.

At least now it doesn't exist. The king of Japan recognized by the imperial court is the Ashikaga lineage.

Xu Youzhen was figuring out the task given to him by Zhu Qizhen all the way, and he vaguely guessed: "Your Majesty is interested in the East China Sea?" ”

It's just that people are not the same.

If there are ministers, they will probably complete the task. But after completing the task, I found a way to persuade tactfully.

But Xu Youzhen suddenly had a thought in his heart, that is: "This is where I have made contributions." ”

Between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, envoys came and went, so Xu Youzhen's arrival did not cause any turmoil. Needless to say, the hospitality of the DPRK minister was hospitable.

It is just that Xu Youzhen's letter of state was handed over to the king of Joseon, Li Yan.

Later generations of Koreans called him the wisest monarch in the history of Joseon, and his reign was the time when the Korean state was at its strongest. It's just that this king of Joseon is very uncomfortable.

He is the same age as Emperor Xuanzong, and he is now less than forty years old, but his physical condition is already very bad.

Zhu Qizhen has not yet felt that in fact, many of the policies of the Ming Dynasty are being imitated by North Korea.

It's like the United States is engaged in quantitative easing, and every country has to study it, and we need to follow up.

In the ancestral system designed by Emperor Taizu, the position of the crown prince is particularly emphasized, which is the foundation of the country and the vice monarch of the imperial court. So even the emperor wants to change the crown prince is a difficult thing.

And Zhu Qizhen is engaged in customs in Daming. In the eighth year of the Orthodoxy Dynasty, Korea also established trade with Japan, which was originally a historical event, but the king of Joseon made it more daring.

And when he felt that his body could not support it, he took his eldest son Li Xiang with him, and taught him by word and deed all the time, wanting to cultivate an excellent king.

And Li Xiang lived up to his expectations, overall

On the top, it's still quite qualified.

At this moment, seeing this incident, the king of Joseon also used him to educate the prince and said: "What do you mean by the Ming court? ”

Li Xiang browsed and was silent for a moment. Then I opened it again, read the words inside, and chewed many key words in my heart repeatedly. Then look at it a third time, this one is the longest, and it seems that the first two times add up to more time.

Li Xiang said: "Erchen thinks that the Ming court is not worried about our country. ”

In fact, Li Xiang can see more things from this national book, such as the competition between Daming and Tile Thorn for the Northeast Intensity Increase. For example, the Ming Dynasty's policy change on Nuer Gandusi.

But none of these are important to North Korea, only Daming's perception of North Korea is the most important.

"Ahem, ahem." The king of Joseon coughed a few times and said, "Yes, you have been in a bit of a hurry in the past few years. Wang'er, the one in Daming is younger than you, what do you think of him? ”

Li Xiang said: "The child is far inferior? ”

The king of Joseon said: "Courage is insufficient. The sons are now trembling. And since the person came to power, the big and small actions have continued, especially the management of Hebei water conservancy, the movement is tens of millions of taels, didn't that person think about it, once there is a loss, so hard work, how to deal with it? ”

The king of Joseon said: "Yes, Empress Chengxiao is really a female Yao Shun. Forced a child to be trained into a generation of Mingjun, and now although he is small, he already has the atmosphere of Mingjun. But don't be ashamed. Because a big country is not the same as a small country, the Ming Dynasty is a big country, the king of a big country, naturally has the courage to swallow thousands of miles, but the king of a small country must have the measure of judging the situation. ”

The name of the Empress Dowager is. Sincerity, filial piety, respect, Su Mingde, Hongren, Shun, the Apocalypse, and the Empress Shengzhao. It is generally called Queen Chengxiao.

"Do you remember Kim Wenyeol's article?"

Li Xiang said: "Children dare not or forget. ”

The so-called Jin Wenlie is Jin Fushi. He was a famous minister on the Korean Peninsula, a famous Confucian, a very high family, and a very good article, writing the first history book on the Korean Peninsula. The historical place is extremely high.

The king of Joseon said: "If Kim Moon-yeol were faced with this situation, what would he do? ”

Li Xiang said: "Jin Wenlie has emphasized big things all his life. It has never disobeyed Beijing's intentions. ”

"yes." The king of North Korea said: "With the performance of the Ming Dynasty this time, it is obvious that I have opened up the six towns in the northwest, which has made Beijing very dissatisfied, and I estimate that the future territory of my North Korea is now." ”

Therefore, what is needed for the ruler of the future generations is not an ambitious king, but a gentleman who is respectful and respectful. All you need to do is welcome to Beijing. ”

Speaking of this, the king of Joseon didn't know what he was touching, and began to cough violently. I couldn't stop it for a while.

Li Xiang hurriedly went up and patted his back gently.
