After Zhu Youzhu saw the records of Zhu Houzhao's daily schoolwork, he knew that his son was because he was harassed by Jin Gui, so he would come to him to maliciously slander him, trying to get Shen Xi to replace Jin Gui and enter the East Palace as a lecturer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Youzhu was a wise emperor, and although he saw Shen Xi's merits in educating the crown prince, he also saw the huge hidden dangers that might exist.

If Zhu Houzhao hadn't admitted that Shen Xi had written martial arts novels, Zhu Youzhi would have transferred Shen Xi back to the East Palace without hesitation and continued to serve as the lecturer of the East Palace.

Loyalty is good for action, Jin Gui dared to reprimand the prince, let the prince calm down and study, among so many lecturers in the East Palace, there are few who can be so conscientious, although Shen Xi has a way to make the prince successful in his studies, and even teaches the art of war additionally, but also teaches the prince how to have fun.

After Zhu Youzhu calmed down and thought about it, he thought that this was a very dangerous move.

In case Shen Xi is a courtier such as Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, and his son trusts him too much after he ascends the throne in the future, causing the Ming Dynasty to be unstable, then he, the former emperor who was promoted and reused, is the sinner of the Zhu family.

"Master Liang, Shen Qing's family is going back to Beijing in the next few days, I originally planned to let him return to the East Palace to give lectures, what do you think of this matter?"

At the critical moment, Zhu Youzhu threw the problem to Liang Chu.

How to say that Liang Chu is a generation of famous Confucians, in the case of Wu Kuan's old age and Wang Wei's health is not as good as before, the emperor trusts the young and strong Liang Chu more, and regards Liang Chu as the head of the East Palace.

Among the lecturers in the East Palace, Wu Kuan, the Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, is basically not responsible for lecturing, but only a nominal lecturer. Wang Wei's health has always been poor, and because of the death of his father Wang Wan, he returned to his hometown to mourn the system.

Originally, Wang Hua was older than Prince Liang, and he had been a waiter in the East Palace for many years, so he knew the prince's temperament very well, so he should be a good candidate.

But the problem is that Wang Hua's qualifications are not as good as his Liang Chu. Liang Chu was the first in the 14th year of Chenghua's examination, although the palace examination was only ranked first in the second grade, but he was immediately elected as a Shu Jishi and awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. Wang Hua is the champion of Chenghua for 17 years, although there is only a difference of three years, but there is a gap in qualifications, plus Liang Chu is a decent person and dares to speak out, and Emperor Hongzhi has more trust in Liang Chu.

As for Yang Tinghe, Jin Gui and others later, their age and seniority are even less than that of Liang Chu.

Facing the emperor's question, Prince Liang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Shen Zhongcheng is in the locality, diligent and self-denying, and has made great achievements in quelling coastal piracy. If you return to the East Palace to give lectures, I am afraid that you will have to remove the candidates, which is ...... I'm afraid that something is wrong. ”

Because Shen Xi held a memorial service for his mentor Chen Xianzhang, Liang Chu made him have a good impression of Shen Xi, and he was very helpful when Shen Xi was an official in the East Palace, but on some issues involving principles, he would not easily help Shen Xi speak, the key is the word "reason".

The East Palace lecturer comes from the Hanlin system, and it is common for him to be transferred to a local office, but it is generally a derogation or loss of the emperor's trust, which is a kind of punitive demotion and release, like Shen Xi, it is very rare to be transferred to a local place because of another appointment.

Generally speaking, the responsibility of the East Palace Lecturer is to teach the prince well, no matter what danger the country has, or if there is a vacancy in the local important officials, it will not be the turn of the East Palace Lecturer to fill the vacancy, and the imperial court should look for capable people from the six ministries or the local political envoys and the inspection envoys.

In Liang Chu's view, since Shen Xi has left the East Palace lecture class and is no longer a minister of education in the traditional sense, the emperor should follow the "rules" and continue to keep Shen Xi in the local system, or transfer him to the Sixth Ministry.

As the governor of the three provinces of Shenxi, even if he returns to the capital, it stands to reason that he should serve as the servant of the six departments, but with Shen Xi's age and qualifications, it is really difficult to convince the public.

Since it is not appropriate to appoint Shen Xi as the squire of the six departments, there is a better solution, which is to transfer Shen Xi to Nanjing as the squire of the six ministries of Nanjing, and wait until the emperor feels that the time is ripe, and then transfer Shen Xi back to the capital.

Although the transfer of Nanjing is equivalent to staying away from the core power layer, it does not mean that there must be no chance to contact the real power, and the rank is always there, and many people just can't think of any errands arranged for them by the emperor, so they will be transferred to the small court in Nanjing for a few years.

Zhu Youzhu is an emperor who is good at admonishment, and when he heard the opinion of Prince Liang, he bowed his head slightly and continued to think about this issue.

Originally, it should be most appropriate to switch the positions of Jin Gui and Shen Xi, but because of the opposition of Liang Chu, as well as Zhu Houzhao's unwarranted admiration for Shen Xi and malicious slander of Jin Gui, Zhu Youzhu did not dare to make the decision to remove Jin Gui rashly.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhu waved his hand: "Master Liang, go back and rest first, and I will think about it again." ”

After Prince Liang left, Zhu Youzhu felt very different in his heart, he originally requisitioned Shen Xi to the northwest to perform his duties, who knew that the transfer order had been issued, but he did not negotiate with Xie Qian, and finally Shen Xi could not make the trip.

Now a thorny question is in front of us, since there is no suitable position for Shen Xi in the capital, what should he do when he is requisitioned? Is it really necessary to idle such a young and vigorous young talent, so that those old ministers are at ease and finally there is no young descendant to add pressure, which is the result he wants to pursue?

"Summons Mr. Liu and Ma Shangshu into the palace!" Zhu Youzhu spoke again.

Since it is difficult to transfer Shen Xi back to the East Palace, it is better to talk to the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry about Shen Xi's placement, and see which old guy can no longer stay in his position, and let Shen Xi go up.

Waiting for Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng to greet each other respectfully, and helped each other into the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but sigh, in fact, the two old guys who are most suitable to retire in the court are not the two in front of him?

Ma Wensheng is seventy-seven years old this year, although Liu Jian is younger, but he is also too old, the two old guys who are almost one hundred and fifty years old together, need someone to help them walk, if it weren't for him, who is the emperor, needs the prestige of these two to complete the replacement of the old and the new, these two have resigned many times, he would have allowed it a long time ago.

When Zhu Youzhu saw the two, he had already made a decision in his heart, he couldn't mention the intention of removing the old minister in front of these two, first ask if there was a vacancy in the official position, or listen to their opinions, what kind of position could Shen Xi be arranged.

"Old minister, see Your Majesty!"

Without exception, Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng both call themselves "old ministers", and it cannot be said that they "recognize the old", they are already very old, especially the living conditions of the ancients, especially the old.

Although Zhu Youzhu was on the sickbed, he still hurriedly leaned over and raised his hand: "The two secretaries, please get up and give me a seat!" ”

The audience of the old ministers, if it is an audience of the nature of private consultation, the emperor will give a seat, which is also the privilege of Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng.

Before Liang Chu came, even if the emperor trusted Liang Chu, he didn't mean to give a seat, the key is that Liang Chu was not fifty years old, and in Zhu Youji's opinion, he was already very "young", if the emperor gave Liang Chu a seat, Liang Chu may still feel that it was not the emperor's courtesy, but a kind of contempt for him.

Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng walked all the way, they were a little tired at this time, it was naturally best to have a seat to sit down, they thanked the grace, and then sat down on the chair brought by the eunuch on duty, but the sitting posture was very respectful, and they did not dare to show a relaxed demeanor in front of the emperor, which also showed that although they were old, they were still concerned about the court situation.

Zhu Youzhu didn't wait for the two of them to ask, and said directly: "I summoned the two Qing family to come, there are three main things that need to be consulted!" ”

Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, they said three things at a time, and if each thing was calculated according to half an hour of talking, it would take an hour and a half.

At this time, it is already three o'clock in the afternoon, that is to say, after talking about things, at least the first watch, after returning home, it may be the second watch, and it is already an old bone, how can it withstand this kind of toss?

Zhu Youzhu also seemed to be aware of this problem, and added: "The two secretaries, to make a long story short, the first thing is about the war in the northwest......"

Come up and say "long story short", but once it comes to the northwest, it is not trivial.

Fortunately, the affairs in the northwest have been explained very clearly, the logistics supply is in charge of the household department Shangshu Hanwen, the front-line troops are under the command of Liu Daxia, and the commanders and generals of each town need to obey the order, and the person responsible for coordinating the money and food and the rear strategy is Zhu Hui, the Baoguo Gong who was pinned on by Emperor Hongzhi.

On the imperial court's side, the grand strategy was formulated by a think tank composed of three cabinet ministers, the British minister Zhang Mao, and the secretary of the ministry, Ma Wensheng.

It seems to be equipped with powerful equipment, but it is actually an empty shell.

Everyone knows that Zhu Hui can only pull his back legs when he goes to the northwest, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang are also working for a few days and resting for a few days at this time, plus Liu Jian and Li Dongyang don't know how to fight, so they can't give constructive suggestions. And Zhang Mao is an old slippery head, as long as he is not allowed to contribute, Zhang Mao is suitable for being a stable soldier in charge, not suitable for formulating strategies.

As for Ma Wensheng, he may have the intention to help Liu Daxia, but unfortunately he is indeed old and healthy, and he can't take care of his energy.

This has led to a result, the seemingly powerful strategic, logistical, and think tank is really involved in specific warfare, that is, Xie Qian is responsible for formulating strategic policies in the back, Han Wen is responsible for requisitioning money and grain, and Liu Daxia is responsible for leading troops to fight.

It's an iron triangle.

Liu Daxia Hongzhi fought a great victory in the thirteenth year, but he can't say how majestic and strategic he is in leading the troops, at most he is decent; Xie Qian's understanding of military affairs can only be said to have read a few military books, but the practical application is a smear, and he is still waiting for Shen Xi to return to Beijing to give him advice.

Han Wen is relatively reliable, but Han Wen has just succeeded Qin Hong as the head of the household department in the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, and he is still a little unfamiliar with his new position at this time, and it is the first time to be responsible for the money and grain dispatch of such a large-scale war, which seems to be a little inadequate.
