"The imperial court has long had an official school, and now there are a number of official schools in Beijing, will this make people feel that it is a waste of state funds? And the establishment of official schools and the establishment of more academic officials will add another expense to the imperial court. Mr. has been saying that the state is not enough to be thrifty, since the palace, everywhere is reducing expenditures, at this time, the establishment of yamen officials, it seems to be contrary to Mr. want? ”

In Zhang Juzheng's mansion, Yang Sizhi, who was in charge of acting for Fan Jin, sat opposite Fan Jin, carefully observing the expression of the future son-in-law of the Zhang family, for fear that his words would offend the upstart in front of him.

Yang Sizhi is not yet thirty years old this year, with a long body and a jade face and a dignified appearance, if he looks rough, he will mistake him for the nephew of the Zhang family. He is also a Jinshi, his own talent is not bad, and his appearance is similar to the Zhang family, so he is naturally easy to be trusted and promoted. But what really made him Zhang Juzheng's confidant and favorite general was his loyalty and courage.

As long as Zhang Juzheng gives a hint, Yang Sizhi will rush out to join people, regardless of the identity and authority of the other party, and no matter what serious consequences this chapter will bring to himself, he will kill him desperately. As long as Zhang Juzheng doesn't shout to stop, he will keep attacking with Bai Jian endlessly, even if the two have a relationship, he will not leave his hand, and he is a well-known Yanlu Jian who does not recognize his six relatives.

In the official system under Zhang Juzheng, Yang Sizhi and Zhu Lian are the most outstanding, known as Shuangjie, and have made great achievements for the Jiangling Party. With his talent and loyalty, he should have been let go or promoted a long time ago, but the problem is that he planted a big heel in the officialdom a few years ago, and even became a laughing stock of the Beijing teacher, so he couldn't be promoted.

At that time, Yang Sizhi, as the imperial history of the Beijing Division, wanted to make a reputation, and the serious Hongwu ban forbade the people of Sijiu City to kill cattle and eat beef. At the same time, a reward notice was also put out to encourage the public to report, and anyone who reported killing cattle and eating meat could be rewarded.

As a result, two days after the post was posted, the official hall and yamen were blocked by peace-loving people in Beijing. These people make a living by killing cattle, and Yang Sizhi wants to cut off their way of life, so these people naturally have to work hard. has already released the words, and saw that Yang Sizhi was a knife, and then one life was worth one life. Yang Sizhi saw that the matter was getting bigger, and there was already a group trend, so he didn't dare to go to the yamen to sit in the hall for a month, and as for the ban on killing cattle, naturally no one mentioned it again.

This matter has been widely circulated in the officialdom of Beijing, and Yang Sizhi's promotion cannot be done. Zhang Juzheng deliberately let him go to the book this time, obviously because he liked his courage and momentum, and planned to give him a chance to make a career. However, when it came to the end, Yang Sizhi was a little shaken.

He has a very speculative temperament, but he lacks tenacity, otherwise he would not be too frightened by a group of people to go to the yamen office. After suffering the last loss, I have become much more introverted now, and I will think about the consequences before doing things. Such a piece of music seems ordinary, but the relationship behind it is too big, and there may be sequelae after a few years, and whether you can bear it is an important question.

Fan Jin smiled and said:

"Brother Yang's concerns are right, and his thoughts are right, but there are some things that he hasn't thought about too thoroughly. Although the imperial court has already had official learning, there is no need to set it up again. But Brother Yang, please think about it, the so-called official professors are the study of saints, and my generation reading the books of sages and worshipping the statues of saints must be counted as saint disciples. The official school established today is to learn the way of loyalty to the monarch and the strategy of governing the country, and they will all be disciples of the Son of Heaven in the future. From a disciple of a saint to a disciple of the Son of Heaven, the changes in this, Brother Yang is not difficult to understand, right? Do you think spending money on this is an extra move? ”

"This ......" Yang Sizhi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but clench his fists. Fan Jin's words, how could he not understand that the name of these schools was to cultivate a private team for the Son of Heaven, and this title was not only big but also timely.

If an adult prince ascends the throne, his team should be initially formed as early as the East Palace stage, and the demand for a new version of the team is not high. However, Wanli Chongling succeeded to the throne, and the biggest shortcoming was the lack of people, which was the biggest flaw in his court.

There is no shortage of veterans of the three dynasties in the Manchu Dynasty, and those people's loyalty to the Ming court may be impeccable, but it is not easy to say about the loyalty of the emperor himself. Most of them were promoted by the old master, based on their love for the first emperor and loyal to the emperor in front of them. Even Zhang Juzheng himself, if you remove the teacher and student factors, is also a courtier left over from the previous emperor.

In this case, the importance of such schools to the emperor was self-evident. If you roll around in such a school and get the imprint of the emperor, you can be counted as the henchman of the young son of heaven. This is naturally undesirable for the emperor, and for the ministers, who dares to openly oppose this?

On the surface, this is a matter of benefit to the emperor, but in practice, it is a different matter. If the emperor wants to send a lecturer, who can he send? In the end, no matter who is sent, it is Zhang Juzheng's people, and it is impossible to send a few eunuchs to give lectures to the minister, right?

In other words, this official school was established nominally with the emperor's signboard, but it was the Gangneung Party that benefited behind it. If the emperor refuses, he will also cut off his own access to civil officials, which is probably not the case. Fan Jin's hand turned darkness into light, which was to use a yang strategy to expand Zhang Juzheng's wings.

In the past, the Gangneung Party was just a false name, and anyone who was a promising Zaifu would inevitably gather a large number of followers around him, otherwise he would not be able to do his work. The Gangneung Party is no exception, but a group of officials who work for Zhang Juzheng gather together and are named. This organization is in name only, some people gather because of the township party factor, and some people work by his side because Zhang Ju is the first assistant, and when they are replaced as the first assistant, these people will naturally change their courts.

However, according to Fan Jin's concept, after the establishment and operation of this school, the Jiangling Party will change from a nominal group name to an organization in the real sense, and Zhang Juzheng is the leader. Everyone shares the glory and loss, advances and retreats together, and helps each other in the court and the local government, which will inevitably become a torrent in the future and is unstoppable.

Yang Sizhi's mind was like electricity, and he instantly thought about the cause and effect, and when he looked at Fan Jin, he became more and more deferential. Originally, his subject division was still before Fan Jin, and his own talent was not bad, according to the rules of officialdom, Fan should come in to worship him. The reason why he was polite and polite to Fan Jin was mainly because of the identity of the prime minister's son-in-law. There is no contempt and a hint of inhumane jealousy in my heart.

The Gangneung cadre is still single. As for the reason for being single, it was not long after Zhang Shunqing returned home, when the matter with Fan Jin was full of turmoil in the city, Yang Sizhi rejected all matchmakers and worked hard by himself.

Of course, he is a very smart person, he will not say his hidden thoughts, but is just waiting for a suitable opportunity to fight for wealth. When Gu Shi appeared, he didn't do anything more, and no one could guess what he had thought unless he was an immortal.

But now that he looked at Fan Jin, he had secretly played the drum in his heart, thinking about what mistakes he had made in his original actions, and whether Fan Jin would find clues. For the first time, he felt this kind of fear in his heart, admitting that he couldn't fight his opponent.

Borrowing the power of the Son of Heaven to realize his conspiracy to organize his own friends, and then doing all this with a high-sounding public loyalty to the country, even if the incident happens in the future, the Son of Heaven knows that this chapter is from Fan Jin's hand, and he will not be angry. No matter what the "Dao" in this person's heart is, Yu Yu's cultivation of "art" is beyond his reach, and Zhang Jiangling has abandoned the Dao, so it is not to blame Fan Jin for being open-minded.

Thinking about this level of relationship, this piece of music is naturally beneficial and harmless to Yang Sizhi, and he nodded at the moment and said: "Don't worry, I will copy a copy of this piece and hand it over later, and I promise that I will not reveal the name of the retreat." ”

"It's okay to show up." Fan Jin is very open-minded: "Teaching uses the strategy of Shangyuanzhi County, saying that it has nothing to do with me, and it may not be able to convince the public." If you know it, you know that these are the responsibilities of those who are ministers, and I don't care. ”

"Thinking is broad-minded, but the foolish brother thinks too much. Thinking about the big wedding in a few days, the foolish brother is a speech official, and there is only one poor word in the family who is always around, and he can't give a gift that shows his face. I have to do a little bit of people's hearts, don't dislike it. ”

As he spoke, he took a piece of the concert from his body and put it down, Fan Jin saw that it was Bai Jian, and knew that it was a ginseng thing, but he didn't understand what it was to get married and take the ginseng concert as a congratulatory gift.

"I recently heard that Tao Jianzhi made some mistakes in his tenure in Guangzhou, and he has already drafted a recital, which can be launched in a day or two."

Tao Jianzhi......

Fan Jin found that with his memory, he couldn't remember Tao Jianzhi's appearance for a while. The old man who could ruin his future with a single sentence, the Tao Tietou who was enough to be the governor of the jaw, is now just a white-haired old man in his mind, neither terrible nor hateful. In his heart, this person has never been an important role, let alone an enemy. It's not that he's kind, it's that he's not qualified.

"Tao Jianzhi...... I remember that he has already made a decision, and the characters under the forest should not be killed. Be a person and leave a line, so that you can meet in the future. ”

Yang Sizhi laughed, "Retreat, I heard that you have a lot of snakes in Guangdong, you must have heard this sentence: fight a snake and don't die with a stick!" Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, beat him to death with a stick, and there is no need to think about meeting or not, everyone has peace of mind. You don't have to worry about this, I promise to do it properly, just the same prefect, a trivial matter, he dared to lose his reputation at the beginning, and it should be time for him to know that he is powerful. ”

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

The concert that set up a new official school is actually inconspicuous in a large number of concerts, and generally speaking, it will be regarded as a bad idea come up with by someone who wants to brush up on his work performance but can't find something to do, or else it is someone who is bought by the Ministry of Industry to pull some work for himself. There are a lot of important things in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a matter at all to have a few more official schools in the capital, and Wanli will be able to pass it if he throws it down casually.

But most of the pieces were sent, and this piece stayed in his hand for a long time, so that Feng Bao could only run over to remind the emperor in person, was the piece of the proposed ticket finished? If so, I should have an explanation with the cabinet.

Wanli didn't answer this question, but asked Feng Baodao: "Big companion, I want to let Fan Qing's family enter the palace, can you arrange it?" ”

Feng Bao was stunned, and then hurriedly laughed and said, "Long live, this thing is not easy to do." The rules of the ancestors are there, and no one can mess with the law. The monarch and the minister are only good enough for that grade, Fan Jin's official is too small, let him enter the palace in the future, it will not end well, in the future, he will enter the palace to face the saint, you see this and not see that, I feel that it is favoritism, and it is not beautiful for a long time. Besides, for Fan Jin, everyone thinks that he doesn't understand the rules and doesn't know how to advance and retreat, which is not good for him. He is about to get married now, and he is even more targeted in the Jingshi, so he must be cautious and not take a wrong step. Long live and wait, when Fan Jin's grade is enough, he will naturally be able to enter the palace. ”

"It's not a good idea, but the big companion reminded me well. How is Feng Bangning now? Still in my hometown? ”

"Yes, that bastard slave always causes trouble, and the slave sends him back to his hometown, which can be regarded as a warning."

"It's not good. Feng Qing is also an official of the imperial court, and it doesn't matter if there are occasional small mistakes, as long as he is willing to correct them. I thought it would be better to transfer him back to Kyori to take up a post, and Otomo would look at the arrangement. ”

"Slave Command! This piece ......"

"Oh...... Don't you say that I forgot, take it down and draw up a vote for the cabinet, I think that the country's affairs are first in culture and education, and if culture and education are prosperous, the country will be prosperous. Therefore, this official school should not only be run, but also run well, and don't be too stingy with money. Taicang has also had some surplus in the past two years, and it should be a good way to run a school, Fang Caizhen is thinking about this, let Mr. Taiyue think about it now. ”

When Feng Bao left, Wanli looked at Zhang Cheng, who had been standing beside him without speaking. "Zhang Cheng, tell me about it, if you want Fan Qing's family to enter the palace to answer, is there a way?"

"Method...... Actually, there are still some of them. Fan Jin is good at Danqing, His Majesty can let him enter the palace to paint a portrait of His Majesty, and he can also teach the art of Danqing, so that they can paint portraits of the two saints and concubines in the palace in the future. ”

Wanli snorted, "You dog thing is still a little smart, but it's a pity that you are not smart enough." Feng Daban can't think of things, you dare to think of it, aren't you afraid that he will find a reason to kill you? Keep up with me in the future, or you'll die easily. Hurry up and do this matter, arrange for Fan Qing's family to enter the palace as soon as possible, I have something to ask him. In addition, I sent someone to keep an eye on Feng Bangning, as long as he returned to Beijing, I would keep an eye on his every move. Memorize what he had done, and tell it to his mother. ”

When only the emperor himself was left in the palace, the young emperor first paced back and forth, repeatedly muttering about the protégé of the Son of Heaven, his eyes were full of excitement, and he didn't feel tears even when he walked sweating profusely. Later, he spread out the paper and wrote Feng Bao's name more than a dozen times on the snow-white rice paper, and then used thick juice to heavily ink on each name, marking one cross after another!
