On the second day, after the morning dynasty, in Zhang's mansion, Zhang Fu looked at Zhang Youzhi, who had obviously improved a lot, and said with a puzzled face: "Father, didn't you say that Your Majesty plans to reorganize Zhongshu Province?" However, this morning in the court, Shen Shangshu sued Yang Yan for deducting military salaries and not valuing the prestige of the country, which was originally an excellent opportunity, but His Majesty not only did not blame Yang Yan, but praised his so-called strategy of making the country rich with simple soldiers."

Zhang Youzhi smiled, stroked his beard and said, "You think Your Majesty is wrong"

"It's not that it's wrong, but this opportunity is rare, after all, the military department is related to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Yang Yan does this, not only offending Shen Shangshu, but also making the Governor of the Five Armies dissatisfied," Zhang Fu said.

"That's right, it's just that your majesty needs" Zhang Youzhi said seriously.

Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, and said puzzled: "What does my father mean?"

"To be a king is to mediate in the middle, control left and right, and sit and watch the tiger fight, not because of personal preferences, and who is favored" Zhang Youzhi said with some relief,

"Father's meaning is that His Majesty deliberately enhanced Yang Yan's prestige and made the relationship between Zhongshu Province and the Six Ministries worse," Zhang Fu said.

"Yes, the more Your Majesty supports, the more Yang Yan will be autocratic, when it reaches a certain level, the six Shangshu will be started, and Your Majesty will sit firmly in Diaoyutai, once the time comes, it will come out to finish, so that it can show benevolence, and second, it can also show that Zhongshu Province is not what he wants to change, but the advice of the ministers, and if it goes on like this, everything will be logical and natural" Zhang You said with a straight smile.

After listening to this, Zhang Fu took a breath and said, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so thoughtful."

"This is the emperor's technique, Fu'er, you have to be more careful in the court in the future," Zhang Youzhi said.

"Yes!!"

"I heard that Your Majesty has entrusted you with the affairs of Beidi," Zhang Youzhi asked.

"Yes, when my son came back, I also came to say goodbye to my father, Your Majesty asked me to go to the border to negotiate with Beidi, and be responsible for Beidi's post-war compensation, as well as the reopening of the three cities" Zhang Fu nodded.

"This matter must be treated with caution, it will make Beidi angry and embarrassed, and if it is light, it will make His Majesty dissatisfied, so after you go, you must understand the situation with General Wang Xiaokun more, and don't act impulsively," Zhang Youzhi ordered.

"Yes"

"Another point is very important, we can't be arrogant when dealing with Beidi, but we must not lose the prestige of my Great Chu, because this is the existence that the emperors of my Great Chu Dynasty attach the most importance to."

"I understand"

"If my expectations are good, when you come back, Zhongshu Province is estimated to have been reformed, Your Majesty let you go this time, it is to give you a chance, because you are too young after all, and you have not made great achievements, if you do well this time, Your Majesty can directly promote you" Zhang You said with a straight smile.

"The child will live up to the mission," Zhang Fu said firmly.

"Okay," Zhang Youzhi said with relief, and suddenly calmed down, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Father, are you worrying about Baozhou?" Seeing this scene, Zhang Fu asked in a low voice.

Zhang Youzhi nodded and sighed: "Now that the border is stable, although Your Majesty is a first-class treasure, he is indeed eloquent, controls power, and the country is stable, and the people are healthy, only Li Jian, the marquis of the sea, does not seem to be loyal to the country, but has the ambition of a wolf son, this is the mistake of the father and the first emperor, and this disaster is left for Your Majesty."

"Father is serious, even if he Li Jian has a strong army, he is only a deserted island outside the island, and he can't turn up the wind and waves at all," Zhang Fu said.

"Nope! It's not the wind and waves, it's not the war, it's the majesty of Your Majesty, if the Marquis of the Danghai really stands on his own, then where is the majesty of Your Majesty, the people will feel that Your Majesty is far inferior to the previous emperors, and this will be a major blow to Your Majesty's reputation" Zhang You said solemnly.

"But father, if Your Majesty wins, you can step on Li Jian's head and establish your own monarchy."

"Yes, you are right, Baozhou will be His Majesty's first opponent since he ascended the throne, and Li Jian, the Marquis of Danghai, will also be a hero that His Majesty will deal with, but Li Jian is really quite powerful, an assassination, the situation will be reversed, I heard you say yesterday that a large number of Baozhou officials impeached Jiang Ling's two families, this is his counterattack, he not only used this to delay the time to come to the imperial capital, but also to control all the naval army, and His Majesty must give a reply at this time, otherwise it will be difficult to appease the anger of the people of Baozhou" Zhang You nodded straightly.

"What my father said is, and there are also people in the court who say that they want to return the sea marquis Li Jian fairly, and he Li Jian is also smart in the book province, saying that he does not believe that it is Jiang Ling's two families, please check carefully, his investigation, it seems to be generous, but in fact, he is forcing His Majesty to give him justice, if His Majesty punishes Jiang Ling, he will lose his loyalty and lose the only control of the navy" Zhang Fu said with a stern face.

"So now it depends on His Majesty's means, after all, compared with the Marquis of Danghai, the imperial court still has an absolute advantage in any aspect," Zhang You said expectantly.

"Father, I believe in Your Majesty, Li Jian, Marquis of the Swinging Sea, is just a daydream, wishful thinking, even if he is really self-reliant, Your Majesty will definitely calm him" Zhang Fu said coldly.

Zhang Youzhi smiled, "My son has this heart, and he is safe for his father."

"Thank you father"

"Master" At this time, the housekeeper of the Zhang family ran in, hugged his fists and said: "Han Wenliang, the secretary of the ministry, asks to see"

"Let Wenliang come in" Hearing this, Zhang You smiled straightly.

"Yes!"

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a Chinese face, a majestic face, and a purple robe walked in from the front door, looked at Zhang Youzhi, who was already waiting outside the main hall, and immediately walked quickly, and said respectfully: "Students meet the teacher"

"Wenliang, don't be polite, why are you here today" Zhang Youzhi said happily, this is one of his many protégés, and it is also the best few, controlling the most critical ministry among the six departments, and controlling the power of the people.

"Teacher, the scientific examination is imminent, Your Majesty asked the students to take the submission and the list of candidates for the examiner of this scientific examination and show it to the teacher" Han Wenliang took out a submission from his cuffs.

After Zhang Youzhi took it with a smile, he said, "Come, let's talk inside"

"Mr. Xie"

After the two entered, they sat down one by one, and after the family served tea, Zhang You looked directly at the housekeeper next to him and said solemnly: "You wait for all to retreat, no one is allowed to approach the three meters of the main hall."

"Yes"

After seeing that everyone left, Zhang Youzhi took the submission and said, "Yang Xiang, have you read it?" ”

"I've seen it," Han Wenliang replied.

"Okay" Zhang Youzhi opened it, glanced at it, and then said with surprise on his face: "On the state of the country, what a large range!" This is which scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion drafted"

Wenyuan Pavilion is the department of the imperial court to do learning, which is full of famous Confucians and talents in Da Chu, every scientific examination, they are asked questions, and then selected by His Majesty himself.

"Teacher Yu, this is set by His Majesty personally," Han Wenliang replied.

"Oh!" Zhang Youzhi stared at him and said, "It seems that Your Majesty is indeed going to choose a group of useful talents."

"The students think the same way, Baozhou has been unstable recently, and Yang Xiang's movements are getting bigger and bigger, and the imperial court needs new blood to fill it," Han Wenliang nodded.

"That's a good thing," Zhang Youzhi smiled.

"Exactly, when His Majesty asked the students to come, he said that this time the chief examiner is still the teacher, but considering the teacher's health, because it was decided to select three scholars from Wenyuan Pavilion as deputy examiners, five people have been drawn up, as for which three to use, please decide to the teacher" Han Wenliang said.

Zhang You nodded straightly, and after being slightly silent, he spoke: "Liu Gui, Xie Rong, Hu Jin, these three people are not only rich in learning and five cars, have many books, and are honest officials, and they are well-known among scholars.

"Yes," Han Wenliang said.

"In addition, the most important thing in scientific research is the image of corruption, and every part must be strictly supervised," Zhang Youzhi commanded.

"Students understand"

"Okay, then I won't keep you today, there is still more than a month before the big exam, you must prepare for a good life, this is the first big exam after Your Majesty ascended the throne, and you must make the movement bigger"

"Yes" Han Wenliang responded, turned his head and looked around, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, the student heard that this time His Majesty still handed over the position of examiner to the teacher, this matter made Yang Yan extremely dissatisfied, this person held the authority, his personality changed greatly, and he was very strong, now he is in control of the middle school, the teacher should be careful"

"Alas!" Hearing this, Zhang Youzhi shook his head and said: "It's the teacher's fault, I used to think that I would suppress him and hone his character, but I didn't expect it to backfire, he was holding back for too long, eager to show himself, eager to establish his majesty, but he was too anxious, too eager."

"Teacher, the student thinks that he is too good at pretending" Han Wenliang said a little angrily, if there was no Zhang Youzhi, he Yang Yan would be nothing, but now that he has just taken the position, he is so disrespectful to the teacher, how can he be carried by others.

"Forget it, the teacher is already forty out of sixty, and this big test is the last glory that His Majesty gave me, but he is indeed very good, but he has not been trained well for the teacher, I hope he will not have a big incident in the future" Zhang Youzhi walked slowly to the outside of the hall, looked at the sky and sighed.
