To tell the truth, the reason why Yun Xi suddenly wanted to summon the top five of the palace examination was 80% because of Yang Zirong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although they will enter the officialdom immediately after that, Yun Xi can also immediately appoint Yang Zirong as a member of the Zhongshu House to see him. But Yun Xi thinks that Yang Zirong is too shrewd, especially after remembering that Yang Zirong is the Yang Rong in history, he feels that this person is worth making great efforts to entrap him. So in order to show that he valued him, Yun Xi decided to summon him in advance.

Not long after Wu Pu retreated, Yang Zirong walked up to Yun Xi, knelt down and said, "Minister Yang Zirong has seen Your Majesty. ”

Yun Xi smiled: "Get up." ”

When Yang Zirong stood up, Yun Xi had already sent everyone else around him far away, so he said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing, I am quite impressed with you!" I have carefully read the two essays that you will try to write and the temple test. Your guess about my administration is quite accurate. ”

'Could it be that the strategy I will try is not off-topic and correctly guessed His Majesty's mind?' But if so, why would I try to be ranked ninety-sixth? My scriptures are clearly full marks. In an instant, Yang Zirong had already thought of these things, and his heart was full of doubts.

"The question of the palace examination is just that, even if you propose a new method for the economy of the vassal country, it is ordinary; But how did you come up with the idea to try to write like this? Yunxi asked.

In fact, the method proposed by Yang Zirong in the palace test and summarized by him as the four words 'vassal economy' made Yunxi very surprised. Yang Zirong didn't know if it was because his hometown was along the coast of Fujian, and he was keenly aware of a truth: the more developed the business, the closer the connection with other places.

According to this reason, Yang Zirong also linked the story of Guan Zhong's 'boiling salt in the Bohai Sea and buying deer in Chudi' in the Spring and Autumn Period in history, and proposed: The Ming court found a local specialty in each feudal country, and the Ming Dynasty tried its best to purchase this specialty so that many people of the feudal country could participate in this industry to form a chain of interests, and once the Ming Dynasty no longer bought this kind of thing, it would make the feudal country turbulent. In this way, the vassal state did not dare to break away from the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Yang Zirong's original words are not like this, but the meaning is just that.

Yun Xi was shocked at the time: Isn't this the community of interests I envisioned! Although Yang Zirong's idea is still relatively rough, it has begun to take shape. Daming still has such a talent!

However, although Yang Zirong's idea surprised Yun Xi very much, it was semi-original according to historical precedents, not all original, and Yun Xi was still able to accept it; But Yang Zirong's answer on the exam paper completely surprised Yunxi.

It was the first time that he was able to propose the spread of Buddhism in Mongolia to solve the border troubles that had plagued the Central Plains for many years, and Yun Xi even suspected that Yang Zirong was also a time-traveler.

So now he asked Yang Zirong how he thought of it.

Yang Zirong bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister understands the governance since His Majesty ascended the throne. ”

"The minister checked the palace newspaper and learned that His Majesty summoned monks from all over the country to visit Beijing in July of the 31st year of Hongwu."

At that time, His Majesty had only been on the throne for two months, and he summoned the monks, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to the monks. The minister also looked through the records of the previous dynasties and learned the history of the rise and fall of the Tubo Kingdom. ”

The minister then thought about it and thought that since the Tibetans could be weak because of the Buddha, the Mongols might not be weak because of the Buddha. So the minister wrote like that after seeing the exam questions. ”

In fact, Yang Zirong does not have much confidence in the method he has researched, because there are many people in China who believe in Buddhism, but they are not as sluggish as Tibet, and perhaps there are other reasons why Tibet is so weak. But he found that His Majesty seemed to believe in this method very much, so he wrote it in the article of the meeting.

Yun Xi was skeptical of his explanation, and he didn't believe it very much, but since Yang Zirong said so, Yun Xi didn't want to ask. But he had already decided in his heart: 'Send the brocade guard to watch over him.' ’

But Yun Xi didn't show any signs on his face, but said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing is really smart, and I can't do it." ”

Yang Zirong immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty has praised it. ”

Yun Xi immediately said: "Hurry up, always kneel something." ”

After he got up, Yun Xi said again: "Yang Aiqing, I appreciate your two strategies very much, and I should have made you both the leader and the champion. ”

"But Yang Aiqing, it's just a matter of your palace trial strategy, Sage Kong has also praised Guan Zhong, since you take Guan Zhong as an example, they won't say anything."

"But your strategy is so elevated to the Buddha's path, although it is in harmony with my intentions, have you ever thought about how the Great Confucian will think of your policy article?"

Yang Zirong obviously showed a look of surprise on his face. Yoon-hee didn't know why he was like this.

Yang Zirong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, can't you suppress a few rotten Confucians?" ”

Yun Xi was also a little surprised and said, "How many rotten people? At least eighty percent of the Confucian students in the world will oppose your theory of trial strategy, don't you know? ”

Yang Zirong was even more surprised: "How come? In our construction, it's just a few rotten people. ”

Yun Xi suddenly understood the reason why Yang Zirong was so surprised. Since ancient times, the two provinces of Oujian and Guangdong have been dominated by business, and even most of the Confucian scholars are not so old-fashioned, and there are really only a few 'rotten Confucians'. Yang Zirong, who grew up in this environment and had never been out of the province before, naturally did not know that there would be so many 'rotten Confucians' in the world, and there was no TV or telephone at this time.

Yun Xi could only say: "Lianjian and Guangdong are special cases, there may be few Confucians in you, but there are many in other provinces. You'll understand if you stay in the capital for a few more days. ”

"Therefore, in order to prevent you from becoming the target of public criticism, I can only admit you according to their ranking. Even the palace test didn't dare to give you too high a ranking, so you could only give you fifth. If you are given the champion, the strategy you will try will inevitably be revealed. ”

Although Yang Zirong still can't fully understand Yun Xi's scruples, since His Majesty has explained the reason, can he still keep asking? And Yang Zirong, as a smart person, certainly knows what to do at this time.

"Your Majesty is arbitrary, discerning, and the minister is arrogant." Yang Zirong knelt down and said.

Yun Hee asked him to get up again. After that, Yun Xi encouraged him a few more words, and finally said: "I have decided to make you a scholar by my side, and I will officially issue a farewell in a few days." ”

Yang Zirong was excited. Now that everyone knows that the Zhongshu Sheren is the fast track to promotion, how can he not be excited?

Yang Zirong wanted to kneel on the ground again to thank him. But Yun Xi immediately stopped him and said, "Slow, I've been talking to you for a long time, if you don't want Mu Xiu to be destroyed by Lin Feng, just retreat." ”

Yang Zirong may not be reluctant to show off in Lin, but thinking of the consequences, he simply retreated.
