At this time, among the yamen of Yanjing Mansion, Jia Liang, the Cheng of Yanjing Mansion, also received Zheng Wen's approval, and he cried with joy.

It has been 20 years, and two generations of the book, after three emperors, finally waited for His Majesty's reply. Thinking of his teacher Li Fu, twenty years ago when he became the Yin of Yanjing Mansion, he began to write to His Majesty to open shipping, and he would play several times a year, until he was old, retired from this position, and still lived in the capital. But there has been no news of the book for more than ten years, and he is a little sad when he looks at it from the sidelines.

Three years ago, his teacher Li Fu died of illness in Yanjing City, and when he was dying, he still did not forget to pull his person and instructed: "Liang, you have to follow the teacher to write to Your Majesty, shipping is beneficial to the court, you must not be discouraged, when the court opens the sea, you will go to the grave of the teacher to put a pillar of incense and tell the teacher." After saying that, he passed away suddenly.

He was red-eyed, knelt in front of the teacher's bed and promised to come down, take over the teacher's burden, and read every year, and once he was on the book, it was three years.

Twenty years of waiting, two generations of persistence, today finally received a response, Jia Liang is tears of joy, respectfully in the direction of Daming Palace, but silently said in his heart, "Teacher, all the way!" ”

So, he made it at his desk, and he and his teacher had already had many discussions about this plan to open the sea, revised and revised it many times, and they had already written down a backup plan according to local conditions.

Every year, as long as he has time, he will take it out and flip through it, look at it carefully, think about it, and write it again so that it will not be dusty. It's just that it's useless after all, and he often looks at these materials and sighs for a long time, feeling when they will see the light of day again!

He wanted to give up many times, just thinking about his teacher Li Fu's dying advice, thinking about his teacher's more than ten years of writing, thinking about his teacher's usual mouth "persistence", he picked up the pen again, and wrote the twists and turns of the book with high morale, even though he knew that there was little hope of getting a reply Liao Liao, but he still couldn't move the persistence.

Hard-working people, the sky is not worth it, today, he finally waited for His Majesty's reply, and I hope he can write a reply to the plan to open the sea, at this moment, he is full of energy!

So he wrote the famous "Yanjing Shipping Fold", which systematically expounded the advantages of Yanjing's shipping and overall planning of the specific route and implementation plan.

This letter is more than 100,000 words long, not so much a recital, but an overall plan to open the sea, it involves the construction of the wharf, the construction of sea vessels, the management of the court and other aspects, so that Zheng Wen is eye-opening!

also let Zheng Wen know the alternative in the officialdom, Jia Liang and his teacher Li Fu, who are so stupid and cute, they don't like things, they don't feel sorry for themselves, they have their own insistence in their hearts!

For the sake of their own persistence, they don't want high-ranking officials, don't want money and fame, and are not tempted by the outside world...... Only silently guard his own heart!

……

In the Criminal Department, when Zhou Kuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, told Yang Bo the news that Yang Bo was promoted to Dali Siqing and concurrently served as the Yin of Yanjing Mansion, Yang Bo was taken aback!

Seeing this, Zhou Kuo said with some seriousness: "Yang Bo, this is Your Majesty's trust in you, you must not live up to Your Majesty's trust!" ”

"Your Majesty ascended the throne as the emperor at a young age, it is not easy, your promotion is the result of your Majesty's forcible intervention, Your Majesty is almost forcibly pressing the heads of the ministers today to approve your appointment, in the future, above the court, you can help Your Majesty more!" Zhou Kuo said with some emotion.

Yang Bo listened, but he was a little curious, so he asked, "Lord Zhou, why is this?" How could Your Majesty be in such a hurry? ”

Zhou Kuo listened, but he smiled, and then he said, "Yang Bo! You're still too young to understand, are you? ”

"Your Majesty is not in a hurry, but on purpose. It's to beat the courtiers! ”

"If you think about Your Majesty's accession to the throne, you can know that this is the result of the courtiers forcibly interfering in the imperial power and compromising with each other, although Your Majesty is the biggest beneficiary, he is not grateful to Prime Minister Liu and Qin Fei in his heart."

Zhou Kuo looked at Yang Bo's puzzled look, and then said again: "From the perspective of ordinary people, Your Majesty should be grateful to these two people, but Your Majesty, as the emperor and the respect of a country, how can you tolerate these two people meddling in the imperial power in your heart?" Your Majesty is always uncomfortable in his heart. ”

When Yang Bo heard this, he immediately felt a little bad, so he asked again: "Aren't those two dangerous?" Isn't this good, I'm afraid that there will be changes in the court situation? ”

Zhou Kuo listened, but he smiled, and then said: "Hehe, you, you still don't understand!" ”

"Although Your Majesty is uncomfortable, Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, and he will not settle accounts with the two of them, and at most he will not reuse the two!"

"And these two are wise men, and they will not embarrass Your Majesty."

"Look at these two people, Qin Fei has been hung up to now, he has no military power for a long time, and he only asks about any military affairs, and he is appointed as his cabinet minister full-time, this is to avoid suspicion, and he will never touch military power again in his life, and His Majesty will not let him touch any military power, he is just the life of a civilian official in this life!"

"Look at Prime Minister Liu Jian, the cabinet set up by His Majesty at the beginning of his ascension to the throne was not present at that time, and now all officials have understood that this is dividing the power of the prime minister. And now that His Majesty is familiar with the affairs of the court, it stands to reason that this institution should be abolished, but did Liu Jian mention it? No! ”

"Moreover, by the end of the gossip, this cabinet will definitely be a permanent institution in the future, and it will be the center of power of the big cadres, and you will have the opportunity to enter the cabinet in the future, and you must not miss it."

Yang Bo listened and nodded, but he firmly remembered Zhou Kuo's words in his heart.

And at this time, Zhou Kuo said again: "Just this time!" His Majesty appointed Lord Liu as the minister of the Qin Mission, went to Jiangnan, and handled all matters in Jiangnan with full authority, and it was for the guards and for the sword of Shang Fang, which was constantly arrogant, but why not beating? He is a prime minister who goes to Jiangnan, and his identity is naturally precious, so why do you need these foreign things. ”

"And Lord Liu agreed without saying a word, it was precisely because he understood His Majesty's mind that he agreed, this is the tacit understanding of the monarch and the ministers, and they don't show each other's hearts."

Yang Bo listened, saluted respectfully to Zhou Kuo, and then said, "Thank you, for mentioning it!" ”

Zhou Kuo accepted this salute calmly, and then said: "From now on, you will be Your Majesty's cronies in the court, let's watch and help each other!" ”

After speaking, he said with some emotion: "This big cadre should be changed, and the three-hundred-year-old emperor should not fall in the hands of us." It's time for the Great Qianwei to add the sea and congratulate the Quartet! ”

"Think about the strength of the Han and Tang Dynasties, think about the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, those of us who are the younger generations should not be too far behind our ancestors, since Your Majesty has this ambition, we old ministers should work hard to help Your Majesty and realize the glory of the Great Qian Dynasty!"

Yang Bo listened to Zhou Kuo's words with emotion, and it was difficult to talk to himself for a while, but he felt passionate!

……

When Guo Huai, the former secretary of Dali Temple, received the news that he was appointed as the Inspector of the Imperial History of the Left Capital, he was excited, and bowed respectfully in the direction of Daming Palace, and then plunged into the busy work.

……

And when Qian Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, went to Guozijian and was about to tell Cai Wei the news that Cai Wei was appointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Cai Wei was lecturing.

And Cai Wei's lectures are very interesting, unlike the cramming education of later generations, but divergent classes, talk about what is interesting, and guide the audience to understand deeply, so that people will involuntarily listen carefully.

And he is not stubborn that he must be right, and allows for different opinions.

At this time, Cai Wei said: "As we all know, Yang Guang, the emperor of Sui Yang, is a famous tyrant, but people can't listen to and believe, they have to have their own opinions, do you think Yang Guang has any merit?" ”

Speaking of this, Cai Wei said: "I'll talk first, you listen to it, think what I said is correct, just laugh at Bojun, think I said something wrong, you can also refute it in court, and we will make progress together!" ”

At this time, Qian Chang, who was standing outside, was also curious, and wanted to hear what kind of person this well-known tyrant was in Cai Wei's eyes, so he stood quietly outside, ready to listen carefully.

And Cai Wei also said: "Yang Guang, in my eyes, has its own brutality, but he is also a promising gentleman who is quite talented and eager to do a great career, but this person is too anxious!" ”

Why? At the age of 20, he led 500,000 troops to defeat Chen successfully, and finally ended hundreds of years of turmoil, and successively crusaded against the Turks and other military operations, which is the embodiment of his military talent; The construction of the Eastern Capital, the creation of the imperial examination system, and the construction of the Grand Canal are all manifestations of his political talent; He left behind many poems, all of which are very beautiful, which is a manifestation of his cultural talent. These are his merits! ”

But why is he in a hurry? According to historical records, he requisitioned 2 million people every year to build the Eastern Capital and the Grand Canal, and what it took him decades to complete, he wanted to do it within a few years, and these were all urgent......

"How? If you have any different opinions, please put them forward and discuss them with you! ”

At this time, Cai Wei saw Qian Chang standing outside, and immediately knew that this was coming to him, so he said: "I have something to do, go out first, and you discuss it yourself." ”

After speaking, he walked towards Qian Chang. As soon as Qian Chang saw Cai Wei coming out, he pulled him to a corner.

Fang Cai smiled and said: "Brother, brother congratulates you this time, you have been promoted, you have been appointed by His Majesty as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, how about it, surprise!" ”

When Cai Wei heard this, his brain was in a mess, and the surprise came so quickly that he couldn't react for a while, and after a long time, he said with some uncertainty: "Really? It's true? ”

"Of course!" Qian Chang confirmed with a smile again.
