Chapter 680: The Unfathomable Heart of the King (Page 1/1)
Ji Ning belongs to the little-known kind of student in this palace examination, many people know that he is the Xie Yuan of the Jinling Township Examination, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, and he can obtain the Xie Yuan in the Jinling Township Examination, which is also very loud.
But not many people are familiar with him, mainly because after Ji Ning arrived in the capital, he was low-key, and he was not interested in visiting any famous scholars, let alone showing his face, but he was well-known for Gu Yuming's many sensational things.
Now Ji Ning, suddenly using a poem of practical significance, on such an occasion as a banquet in front of the palace, really let the students present experience the shock of what poetry brings.
Many people are thinking: "This is not a poem, is not a poem, is not a word, and is not a pure article, why does it have such a great magic that can make me remember it for a long time?" The old man who sells charcoal seems to be by my side! ”
Zhao Kangzheng asked: "Champion Ji Ning, come out and let me talk!" ”
This sentence shows that Zhao Kangzheng doesn't know who is the champion in front of him.
Ji Ning walked out of the crowd, stood in front of all the Hanlin and Jinshi, just arched his hands and saluted: "Minister Ji Ning, I have seen Your Majesty!" ”
Seeing Ji Ning come out, in fact, many people present knew him, especially the people in power who knew Ji Ning.
Most of those court officials and middle- and lower-level officials and students have never heard of who Ji Ning is, but Chongwangfu, Huiwangfu, Princess Wenren, Prince, Uncle Li Guo and others have all heard of Ji Ning, and they have all been connected to varying degrees.
Especially when he is still a quasi-horse, Zhao Yuanrong's own chosen husband.
Seeing Ji Ning come out, Zhao Yuanxuan was the most excited in her heart, and she muttered: "I knew that he was very talented, and the county lord was so smart, how could he lose to a mediocre talent?" He's out, he's out......"
Zhao Kangzheng looked at Ji Ning, nodded slightly, and said, "Ji Qing's family is also a talent!" ”
Ji Ning bowed slightly, Zhao Kangzheng did not continue to talk about Ji Ning's talent, and said, "Ji Qingjia, you are the first ...... Poems, what is the meaning of them, you might as well tell me, I think the poems you wrote are also exquisite, but there are many contents, which seem to be inconsistent with today's proposition! ”
"Back to Your Majesty!" Ji Ning's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he said calmly, "This poem by Weichen is about the palace market ...... the capital."
"Bold!" Before the emperor could say anything, Long Cheng had already shouted loudly, "You are just a new science and technology scholar, and you dare to talk about the government and politics?" ”
When he said this, Zhao Kangzheng himself didn't understand it very well, he didn't know anything about the procurement process of goods in the palace, and naturally he didn't know who was involved.
Ji Ning glanced at Longcheng, in fact, Ji Ning had already expected that Longcheng would be mad, because the biggest beneficiary behind the palace market was actually the eunuchs in the palace, and the procurement of many goods was even done by the eunuchs in power in the palace themselves.
Zhao Kangzheng wanted to ask directly what Miyagichi was, but he was afraid of exposing his ignorance.
Ji Ning directly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister is not trying to talk about the government in vain, just because Wei Chen was in the capital, saw the people who procured goods in the palace, and in the face of the unarmed small traders in the market, he directly took away the goods with a very small amount of silver, and the small traders did not dare to express their complaints, and they did not dare to express their grievances, which is really a pity for the prosperous dynasty today!" ”
Many of the old ministers present, especially Han Hanlin and the others, were proud in their hearts, and thought gloatingly: "This Ji Ning doesn't know what to do at all, and dares to directly bring forward the disadvantages of the Great Yong Dynasty, and he is still talking about the palace market that involves the procurement of the palace, isn't this looking for his own death?" ”
They felt that the emperor would not like to listen to any issue involving the people's grievances and the evils of the imperial court, and would be furious.
But they don't fully understand Cho Kangzheng's character at all.
Although Zhao Kangzheng is the kind of faint monarch who likes to listen to flattery, he has also been an enlightened emperor for a period of time, and now what Ji Ning is raising is not a comprehensive problem of the Great Yong Dynasty, but just a small problem.
In this way, Zhao Kangzheng felt that since I put forward the proposition of the people's suffering, as long as you don't talk about how miserable the people of the Great Yong Dynasty are, how mediocre the court is, and how mediocre I am, I am still willing to listen to some "small opinions".
You can criticize me, but you can't expose my sore feet, what kind of famine or homeless people is slapping me in the face, how can my country have these things?
But if it's a palace market that I don't even know how to operate, but there are people below who are enriching their own pockets and destroying my sage, which leads to a little problem in the Great Yong Dynasty, then I am willing to show myself here as an emperor with grace and courage and take the initiative to change it.
In this way, instead of looking mediocre, I seem to be a holy lord who knows his mistakes and can change them!
Sure enough, after Zhao Kangzheng heard what Ji Ning said, he looked at Long Cheng coldly and asked, "Who is responsible for the procurement of the palace?" ”
Long Cheng almost lost his legs at this time, and he said nervously: "Back to Your Majesty, the palace procurement is the responsibility of the internal chamberlain, and it involves different internal eunuchs and yamen, not one person is in charge!" ”
When the emperor heard this, he felt that he had face, and it was not a big problem, so it was easier to find out which eunuch from the yamen was making trouble in the palace market.
But Zhao Kangzheng was still very angry and shouted: "Bastard! The inner prison is just a servant in the palace, you are just serving the people in the royal family, and you dare to fill your own pockets and break the discipline of the imperial court! This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and if anyone fills their own pockets, they will be held accountable and will not be tolerated! ”
Long Cheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yes...... Yes, Your Majesty! ”
This will make his head break out in a cold sweat, because the biggest beneficiary of this matter is actually himself.
At this time, Zhao Kangzheng looked at Ji Ning with a smile and said: "Although Ji Qing's family was not a courtier before, he could be loyal to the country, have the heart to understand the suffering of the people, and have the heart to enjoy with the people. You and other students should take Ji Qing's family as an example! ”
In just two or three sentences, Zhao Kangzheng had already set up Ji Ning as a typical scholar, and the rapid change made those ministers and scholars present who thought they knew the emperor dumbfounded.
