Chapter 128: Melancholy
Struggles like theses on scientific expeditions have never been a struggle of principle, but a power struggle for Chiguoguo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is obvious that Yang Tinghe's steady progress in recent years has aroused the eyes of many people, and the recent rumors that Yang Tinghe is about to enter the cabinet have undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, so that the people who are ready to go immediately seize this opportunity and plan to completely get rid of Yang Tinghe.
Such an accident made Zhu Houzhao very melancholy. He has always felt that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not as easy to do as he imagined. Generally speaking, he is like the chairman of a company, although he has the power of life and death, but he cannot abuse it, and he must take care of the group intentions of the employees under him, otherwise people may strike.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao, chairman of the Ming Company, has a veto power, but it is useless, the cabinet can be returned, and even many officials and imperial histories dare to gag the emperor's mouth.
Someone said that if you want to be an emperor, you can kill whoever you want, and who would dare to resist if you say anything? But Zhu Houzhao is not Qin Shi Huang, nor is he Zhu Yuanzhang, he does not have the courage to kill the white vastness above the court, take a step back and say, if you see who is not pleasing to the eye, you will slaughter someone, then how can anyone in the world dare to come to Foxconn to work?
Yang Shen was even more dumbfounded than Zhu Houzhao, all the officials in the capital praised him as a prodigy and a champion talent, but now he was attacked like this just because he got a Xie Yuan, so if he really won the champion, he would not end up with a tragic end of exile for the whole family.
He hurried back from Jinling, just in time for the court meeting. However, with his identity, he didn't have the opportunity to participate at all, so he was so anxious that he circled outside the palace like a headless fly, and many officials of the previous dynasty no longer had the same enthusiasm as before, and they all intersected with each other.
Zhu Houzhao didn't know about Yang Shen's embarrassing situation outside the palace, because he was also embarrassed by himself.
"Your Majesty, there must be an inside story in this Jiangnan Township test, and the ministers and others request a thorough investigation!"
It was not one or two who said this, but a group. A large number of officials viciously forced the palace and strongly demanded that Zhu Houzhao immediately review the Jiangnan Township Examination.
Zhu Houzhao pinched the corners of his forehead and said helplessly: "The Jiangnan Township Examination was personally proposed by me, and the examination was held by the supervisor of the Sixth Department of Nanjing, and the fairness of it is naturally self-evident, why do you still question it." ”
"The ministers just suspect that the first name of the Jiangnan Township Examination is Xie Yuan Yang Shen, this person's household registration was originally in Beijing, why did he appear in the examination room of the Jiangnan Township Examination? Emperor Taizu had a strict order, and candidates from all over the country could only refer to it locally, and Yang Shen's move was already considered a violation. ”
"Yang Shen was sent to the south on a business trip, and he couldn't spare time to come back, so it was understandable that he participated in the scientific expedition in Jiangnan."
"There are extenuating circumstances, but there is no forgiveness for sin. Besides, Yang Shen has no official status, why did His Majesty personally send him on business? ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled: "What you can't do, I naturally have to send him." ”
"Your Majesty, this is a bad word. Since the emperor said this is to determine that we are incompetent, it is better for us to go home and farm, just to make some space for young people. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao roared excitedly in his heart, please submit your resignation quickly, you submit your resignation over there, and Lao Tzu will approve you to roll up and roll up.
However, it is obvious that this group of bastards is talking about it, and they will not take actual action to take care of Zhu Hou.
"What do you Aiqing want to say?" Zhu Houzhao didn't know the rules of officialdom, and looked at this group of officials and said helplessly.
"The minister made it clear, the minister thought that Yang Shen's father, Yang Tinghe, had a personal relationship with the chief examiner of the Jiangnan Township Examination, and Yang Shen's Township Examination Xie Yuan was not in the right way!"
The words have been made clear, and the majority of officials clearly believe that Yang Tinghe successfully made his son Yang Shen successfully obtain the position of understanding yuan through some unknown means, and their praise of the little prodigy had long been thrown out of the sky by them.
All in all, it is one sentence, that is, they believe that Yang Tinghe is mainly responsible for Yang Shen becoming the trial solution of Jiangnan Township.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao is also so artificial, the son does not teach the father's fault, and now the son carp jumps into the dragon gate, which is naturally the responsibility of the father, which shows that Yang Ting and the baby are well educated.
But the people who attacked Yang Tinghe obviously did not have Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, and they also did not think that their son could not pass the exam because of his poor education.
directly put the blame on Yang Tinghe for leaking the exam questions for favoritism.
Zhu Houzhao has no choice, he can't grit his teeth and say that this is the case, Yang Shen is a talent for Xie Yuan. Since ancient times, literati have been contemptuous, and it is easy to be scolded when they say this.
But it's impossible to just let go and let people check their teachers, maybe they will find out what is wrong. Beloved son Mo Ruo's father, God knows if Yang Tinghe has used any means, taking a step back, there is nothing wrong with that group of mad dogs with a keen sense of smell, maybe they can find something unclean.
Zhu Houzhao once again fell into a dilemma.
"I can see it, and I understand it, you just want fairness, don't you?"
When the ministers heard this, they immediately said in unison: "Yes, the emperor can't say it, the ministers just want a fair!" ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled, since they took this stubble, it's okay.
"If you say you want to be fair, then I will give you justice. As you all know, I'm the fairest person in the whole world, and you say yes or no? ”
Although the ministers pouted in their hearts, they had to respond, after all, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and it is impossible to say that he is not the fairest person in the world. As soon as it is said that the emperor is unfair, there will immediately be die-hard factions of the imperial power who will jump out and start a bloody scolding war.
"The emperor is naturally the fairest person in the world!"
Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and laughed, stood up and said, "Since you Aiqing admit that I am a fair person, and the fairest person in the world, then you must listen to my words." ”
The ministers nodded unnaturally, wanting to see what the emperor said, and once they didn't agree with them, they would immediately coax them, which was for sure.
"Since you said that Yang Shen's Xie Yuan came from the wrong way, then I will deliberately give you a chance." Zhu Houzhao said confidently: "In order to show fairness, I decided to do so. Liu Jian, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, has always been respected by the ministers, so I specially ordered the cabinet to be headed by Liu Jian, and asked a question, but all officials who disagreed with Yang Shenzhongju answered with Yang Shen, and the Manchu civil and military forces jointly selected them. ”
Zhu Houzhao's idea was quite fair, but it was immediately opposed.
"We are all officials, so what is the reason to answer with a child? This is the greatest insult to us! ”
Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Don't you dare? ”
The cynicism is almost obvious. Even a literati can't stand it. It's just a move, what reason can be compared to those of them who have already passed the Jinshi?
Even the literary brilliance and the understanding of the study of the saints will certainly not be lost to the young people.
"Listen to what the emperor said, ask the emperor to ask the question, so that Yang Shen can see what is the real study of the saint and the theory of the Five Classics!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Xuan Yang Shen enters the hall!" (To be continued.) )
