The prince had many attendants, and every time Wang Yuan gave a lecture, the content of what he said would leak out.

Although he was also deviant in the past, at least it was still within the acceptable range, after all, the prince was only a few years old, and he couldn't understand it if he spoke too deeply.

Now that the crown prince is ten years old, Wang Yuan simply ripped it off, which immediately frightened the attendants.

People say that "pro-virtuous ministers, far villains", but Wang Yuan said that "great sages can also be killed, and big traitors can also be used", which directly challenges the fragile nerves of traditional scholars. How terrifying is the emperor who is taught by such a truth? I'm afraid it's more difficult to serve than Zhu Houzhao!

Restaurant, private room.

Yang Shen is drinking with Wang Tingbiao, he has many friends, but Wang Tingbiao is the one with the best relationship.

Yang Shen went home to take the township examination that year, and he needed to transfer his student status to the county school in advance. And Wang Tingbiao's father happens to be the county school instructor, and Yang Shen is equivalent to Wang Tingbiao's father's nominal student. At the same time, Wang Tingbiao worshiped under the door of Yang Shen's fifth uncle, and has always been regarded by Yang Tinghe as his protégé.

"Wang Shangshu taught the prince and said some strange things, can you know it with Brother Xiu?" Wang Tingbiao asked.

Yang Shen smiled and said, "I've heard of it." ”

Wang Tingbiao said: "What Wang Shangshu said is actually true, it is the art of the emperor. I am afraid that the prince is more than intelligent, but not virtuous, and abuses this technique to the corruption of the government. ”

Yang Shen said: "That's why Wang Ruoxu emphasized loving the people. Love the people, benevolent government. ”

Wang Tingbiao shook his head and said: "The husband rules the country, and the officials rule first." Only when the officials govern the Qing Dynasty can we talk about benevolence and love for the people, how can we talk about governing the people by bypassing the rule of officials? Wang Shangshu said that governing the country is governing the people, which is a big fallacy, and governing the country should be a magistrate! ”

Yang Shen said: "Governing officials is a skill, and governing the people is the way." The rule of officials can never be truly clear, and it depends on the emperor's skills to achieve a few points. However, benevolence and love for the people must be there, which is the way of the emperor. Wang Ruoxu's original intention was to let the prince use Taoism to control the arts, and often govern officials with a heart of love for the people. ”

"It seems that my brother actually agreed with Wang Shangshu's nonsense." Wang Tingbiao was surprised.

Yang Shen suddenly whispered: "To say a word of disobedience, today, there is only the art of the emperor, but there is no way of the emperor." His Majesty seems to be absurd and uninhibited, and every time he makes a move, he plays with the ministers. Your Majesty is so smart, he should have become a generation of Ming monarchs, but unfortunately he has no benevolence and love for the people. The people of Limin, in the heart of His Majesty, are like grass mustard! ”

Wang Tingbiao was frightened and reminded: "Be cautious, beware of the ears on the wall." ”

Yang Shen smiled: "Your Majesty is very generous, as long as you don't stop him from coming, as long as you don't upset him, no matter how bad you say it, you won't be punished." ”

Wang Tingbiao was speechless.

Wang Yuan knew the emperor, and Yang Shen also knew the emperor.

A few years ago, a large number of people died in Yang Shen's family, and he was reprimanded for his advice, so angry that he resigned in anger. The death of a loved one, the career was not smooth, but Yang Shen calmed down, and many things were suddenly figured out, and by the way, the emperor was also clearly understood.

It is said that Yang Shen doesn't understand politics, but a talented man like him, his father is still the head of the court, how can he not understand the twists and turns of officialdom? Yang Shen didn't understand, he didn't disdain, he had his own insistence, and he was full of innocence.

As for history, Yang Shen stood in line in the Jiajing Ceremony Meeting, and also dragged a group of scholars to cry at the door, which was purely an unavoidable political struggle. The courtiers are divided into two groups, and the contradictions are irreconcilable, so Yang Shen can't oppose his father, right? It's a pity that their father and son underestimated Jiajing.

Yang Shen sighed and said, "Your Majesty today, there is only a small technique, but no avenue. Wang Ruoxu also took great pains to let the prince understand the way of the emperor and be a good emperor who was benevolent and loved the people in the future. Minwang (Wang Tingbiao) You are still young, and if you work hard to make political achievements, you may be able to assist the new monarch in the future. I can't do it, and the officialdom is not my will. ”

This is even more outrageous, cursing the current emperor to die early.

Wang Tingbiao was surprised: "Brother Xiu is just the same age, why do you speak in a dull voice?" ”

Yang Shen said with a smile: "Brother Fool was also full of enthusiasm and wanted to help Sheji with his own strength. Now that I have seen myself, I am not an official, let alone entering the cabinet as an auxiliary minister, and being a squire is also misleading the country and myself. I'm also tired of staying in Hanlin Academy, and I plan to switch to the Guozi Priest Wine, and it's good to teach a few more proud disciples. ”

Guozi is the priest of wine, the president of Central University, Yang Shen can do it if he wants to, after all, his own knowledge is there, and there is a father who is the first assistant.

The Wang Tingbiao in front of him was also promoted rapidly, because of Yang Tinghe's support. Zhengde has been a scholar for nine years, only three lists, and has not yet been admitted to Shu Jishi, but now he has been promoted to Langzhong of the Criminal Department, and Yang Tinghe has no taboo to promote his cronies.

Half a month later, Yang Shen really went to the Guozijian as a sacrificial wine, and he was promoted to four levels in a row - this is nothing, the officials of the Hanlin Academy were transferred, and it was normal to be promoted two or three levels in a row. Yang Shen's qualifications are there, and he has been worried for three years, and he has resigned for several years, and he has not been promoted much before.

As for Wang Yuan, he was impeached again.

Even Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing couldn't hold back, accusing Wang Yuan of teaching the prince indiscriminately, and begging the emperor to change the prince's teacher.

Zhu Houzhao laughed, and then laughed it off. He likes the content of Wang Yuan's teachings, at least the prince taught in this way will not be at the mercy of civil officials in the future.

Wang Yuan resisted the impeachment of hundreds of officials, and began to burn the fourth fire.

Cabinet.

Yang Tinghe took Wang Yuan's recital and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"As long as the Ministry of Industry has money, there is no way to object to this matter." Yang Yiqing said.

Wang Qiong said: "This is a great thing, and it should be approved immediately." ”

Jiang Mian said: "I have no objection. ”

What does Wang Yuan want to do?

Renovate the Beijing Rite Tribute Academy!

Although the Rite Tribute Courtyard covers a large area and has better conditions than the local Tribute Courtyard, the examination shed is built with wooden planks and reeds. Three candles will be issued at dusk, and you will have to bake a fire in the spring cold, and a little carelessness will cause a fire.

What's even more terrifying is that there are frequent sandstorms in Beijing in February and March, and there will be strong winds without sandstorms. When an examination booth is set on fire, more than half of it will be burned down when it is blown by a strong wind.

Moreover, in order to prevent cheating, the hospital must be locked during the exam, and candidates cannot run even if they want to!

In the third year of orthodoxy, Shuntianfu Township tested, and a fire broke out in the Beijing Gongyuan. Although the fire was quickly extinguished and there were no casualties, many of the soldiers' answers were burned.

In the seventh year of Tianshun, the national examination, the Beijing Gongyuan was on fire again. There are many people who are burned to death, and the Gongyuan has become a scorched earth.

In the third year of Zhengde, the Beijing Gongyuan caught fire again, but fortunately there were no casualties. A few days after the exam, the examiner was still grading the papers, and there was another fire in the Gongyuan, and the papers of Yang Shen's first exam were burned.

The Beijing Gongyuan is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is also responsible for organizing examinations.

Wang Yuan Shangshu suggested that the wooden planks and reeds in the tribute courtyard should be removed and replaced with brick walls and tile roofs. In this way, not only can the fire be set on fire, but also the test taker will not have to nail the tarpaulin by himself, so that he can concentrate on taking the exam.

Each examination shed, temporarily set a honeycomb stove, candidates are only allowed to burn honeycomb coal, not to make another fire for cooking or heating, and at the same time, the examination shed must open a small window to prevent candidates from accidentally getting charcoal poison.

In addition, it is forbidden for candidates to smoke in Gongin, and the test results will be cancelled after being caught!

Due to Wang Yuan's opening of the sea, tobacco was introduced to China ahead of schedule. What is very nonsense is that tobacco is used by traditional Chinese medicine to treat malaria, which leads to malaria-frequent areas, well-off families have smoked to maintain their health, and it has quickly spread in the southern provinces.

Wang Yuan's remarks, as long as the Ministry of Industry is not short of money, who dares to stand up against it?

Buying people's hearts!

Soon, the Ministry of Works contributed a part of the silver, and also had to produce materials and recruit laborers. The Ministry of Households also allocated part of the funds to purchase some materials. The Ministry of Rites ordered Guanglu Temple to provide food for the servants and to be responsible for the sacrificial items when the construction began.

Under the auspices of Wang Yuan, the Tribute Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites was renovated in a hurry, and the officials who were impeaching him for teaching the prince were laughing and crying.

At the same time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew Wang Yuan's character, and he had to do practical things in politics. I have only been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for two or three months, and I have done more important things than the previous Ministry of Rites combined!

The pragmatic officials heard the wind and came to pay their respects, wanting to follow Wang Yuan to do things together.
