Chapter 117: The Emperor

Liu Mengyan smiled and said, "Why should the Metropolitan Governor be humble? The set of books of the Grand Duke, the old man also took the time to read some of them. If you talk about learning, the Metropolitan Governor is enough to be an old teacher, where does the old man dare to accept the Metropolitan Governor as a student? ”

As soon as Liu Mengyan mentioned the students, Xie Daoqing finally found a chance to change the atmosphere, and said with bright eyes: "Cheng Qing, the emperor has reached the age of learning, I wonder if Cheng Qing is willing to take the time to teach?" ”

The whole hall was shocked.

Everyone in the temple understood what that meant.

Cheng Yue is not an ordinary person, but a military general. It's not a clerical job, and it's not famous. Such a person, not to mention teaching the emperor, is not even qualified to teach a private school.

What's more. If you want Cheng Yue to be the emperor's teacher, you have to give him a clerical job, and you need at least one university scholar. So does Cheng Yue want to be transferred to a civil official? But it is impossible for Cheng Yue to give up his military power, so won't his power expand again?

The most important thing is what Cheng Yue wants to teach the emperor.

It is now certain that Cheng Yue will not teach the Five Classics and the Four Books, at most only a part of them. The most important thing must be the set of books that Cheng Yue wrote before.

That set of books is only understood by Cheng Yue!

In this way, Cheng Yue can not only monopolize the right to interpret knowledge, but also become everyone!

And what about the imperial examinations? What is the imperial examination?

The emperor has learned differently from you, so what do you want to learn? Who will be the examiner? Who will determine the champion, the leader, and the horse? Who will make the list? The jinshi who pass the exam will automatically become Cheng Yue's students, and Cheng Yue will be the guide, who else in the court can fight against them?

If Cheng Yue controls both civil and military affairs, then the government can be decided in one word!

Is the future still the world of the Zhao family?

Empress Dowager, what are you thinking? How can this kind of thing not be discussed with the ministers!

Liu Mengyan, Chen Yizhong, and the ministers of the Song Dynasty all broke out in a cold sweat. I was about to stand up against it. Xie Daoqing said: "The emperor's Jingyi mourners want to be taught by a bachelor of literature. Focus on Jingyi, and leave the rest to Cheng Qing, I don't know what the two of you think? ”

The hearts of the ministers who had just mentioned it finally let go a little.

Wen Tianxiang is a champion and is not familiar with Cheng Yue's new learning. Although the relationship between the two is the best, Wen Tianxiang will never give up the scriptures and give them all to Cheng Yuelai, and the empress dowager said that the scriptures should be the mainstay. This way, the worst-case scenario can be avoided. But Cheng Yue's new learning is already difficult to stop.

Now that Cheng Yue will take the examination and select officials in the future, it has spread all over the world, and it is called the small imperial examination, and it is inevitable that he will join the new school in the imperial examination.

The Empress Dowager is taking a high position in exchange for Cheng Yue's loyalty. So that he can do what he wants without rebelling, and achieve the status of one person and above ten thousand. He also sent a Wen Tianxiang to contain him, and Wen Tianxiang's loyalty to the Song family goes without saying. The two have a good relationship, and they are not afraid that Cheng Yue will not agree, otherwise they will offend Wen Tianxiang. And if Cheng Yue has any changes in the future, he will have to pass Wen Tianxiang first.

I have to say. The Empress Dowager's hand was even eliminated. and did not leave a trace, so that the ministers secretly admired.

It's just that the DPRK and China have had a lot of trouble since then.

Cheng Yue's eyes flickered, and he immediately figured out the joints, and couldn't help but look up at Xie Daoqing behind the bead curtain, and said in his heart: This old woman is really old and refined. Suddenly, she swept to Quan Jiu on the right, although she couldn't see her face clearly, she seemed to be smiling silently, and she couldn't help but move in her heart.

Could this woman be her idea?

Judging by her actions in the dragon chariot, it is not impossible. When Du Zong was there, she ignored everything, which was definitely the best way to save herself. Now that her son is the emperor, she can't just ignore everything, right? She must know about finding a teacher for the emperor, and it is likely that she is in charge.

Wen Tianxiang saw that Cheng Yue did not answer Xie Daoqing's words, but looked up at her and hurriedly coughed twice.

Cheng Yue heard these two coughs unnaturally, and when he looked back, it was Wen Tianxiang.

Seeing that he was looking at him with an inquiring gaze, there was an unconcealed expectation in the corner of his eyes, knowing that Wen Tianxiang was also tempted.

As a scholar, becoming an emperor is a higher praise than the champion. There is one champion every three years, and there are far fewer emperors, not to mention that there is no harm.

Cheng Yue smiled, and Chaowen Tianxiang made a look.

The two of them saluted at the same time: "I dare not be ashamed." ”

The palace and the martial arts were all shocked, from this moment on, the earth-shaking changes in the political map of the Great Song Dynasty have become a foregone conclusion. As long as these two people do not split, the Great Song Dynasty will be their world in the future, this is certain.

Xie Daoqing said: "Since the two Qing families have agreed, they will be crowned with a bachelor of arts as a special advancement, and Cheng Qing will be crowned as a general of the Auxiliary State, a scholar of Duanming Palace, and a founding uncle of the Jinjue, who is responsible for teaching the emperor's homework." Two emperors, the emperor has asked for it from now on. ”

The two saluted and said, "The ministers are grateful." ”

The generals of the special and auxiliary countries are all the second grade, and Wen Tianxiang's military department is from the second grade and has been promoted to one level. Cheng Yue's water and land governor is a second-class military attache in terms of authority, but his name is not right, and now he is crowned as an auxiliary general, which is a serious second-grade military attachΓ©. And the scholar of Duanming Palace is a civil servant of Zhengsanpin, which can be regarded as finding an endorsement for his identity as an emperor. As for the title of the founding earl, it is only the fourth grade, and it will be kept for future promotion.

Xu Nang and Jia Yuqing, who were standing behind them, were extremely embarrassed, what are they. They all peeked at Liumengyan again, what should they do now?

Liu Mengyan smiled and said to the two: "Congratulations to the two of you on becoming emperors!" After the two of them replied, they turned to Xie Daoqing and said, "The old minister has a suggestion, please ask the saint for permission." ”

Xie Daoqing said: "Pingzhang, please speak." ”

Liu Mengyan said: "Since the governor of the capital is already in the court, he must lead a real post in the court, otherwise he will only govern the three sides, wouldn't it be better to open the government in Jiankang?" The old minister thought that there was no one in Lin'an Mansion so far, and it was only controlled by a few officials. The Metropolitan Governor has to do something, and Lin'an Mansion is the best place. The saint has just been crowned a scholar of the Dadu Governor Duanming Palace, and the acting Lin'an is also qualified enough, what does the saint think? ”

Cheng Yue finally understood Liumengyan's plan.

Knowing that Lin'an Mansion is not an easy job to do. On the one hand, there are many affairs in Lin'an Mansion, and you have to deal with different yamen and different magnates. Although he is not afraid of them, he will definitely not do less things that offend people after doing it for a long time.

If it is a civil official, it is either good or bad. If you do a good job, you can gain a reputation for being upright, and if you don't do a good job, you can also enter the six ministries with good relations or all of them will be transferred to a pacification envoy. But these Cheng Yue are not needed at all.

His prestige is so high, in order not to let it fall, he can only offend the government, otherwise his reputation will be damaged.

Is it okay to do things that offend people? These people's relatives and friends are all over the government and the opposition, and there are people of theirs in all directions. Even in the three sides and four provinces under their control, there are many of their old ways. A person who knows Lin'an Mansion has little authority, but he has to do a lot of things to do to offend people.

Another point is to use a bunch of indiscriminate things in Lin'an Mansion to tie his hands and feet, so that he has no time to deal with the things on the three sides, maybe Liumengyan, the left prime minister, will find him a lot of things to do. The matter at the feet of the Son of Heaven must of course be dealt with first. After a long time, there will naturally be complaints below. And he, who knows Lin'an Mansion, actually has to manage so many mayors, county magistrates and generals from all over the three sides, how can this strange state be convincing?

Despite this, if Lin'an Mansion is in its own hands, it does have great benefits. Lin'an's resources, manpower, and financial resources can all be used by him. Liumengyan is to use these benefits to lure himself into the trap.

Cheng Yue made up his mind and said: "Since I know that there is no suitable candidate in Lin'an Mansion, then the minister recommends Guan Shen to take this position." If he has any problems, he has his own ministers to bear them. ”

Liu Mengyan glanced at Guan Shen, who was standing at the last of Wenchen with a panicked expression.

Guan Shen saw that everyone was looking at him, and was about to retract a little, when Cheng Yue glared at him, and hurriedly puffed up his chest again. Who would have thought that he would be able to stand here one day, although he would be the last one. Moreover, at this time, he has become the object of the attention of the kings and ministers of the palace, and everyone here is an unattainable existence for him, and his heart trembles a little.

Liu Mengyan retracted his gaze and said, "Dadu Governor, he is cloth clothes, which does not comply with the laws of the imperial court. ”

Cheng Yue said lightly: "Then be a prefect of cloth, it's nothing." ”

The prefect of Buyi? Almost everyone in the hall was. What do scholars study hard for? Do you want a cloth cloth to be the prefect?

Liu Mengyan didn't have any anger at all, and said, "Why don't you ask Li Fu and Master Li to do it?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "No, I have appointed Master Li as the mayor of Huaiyin and the director of the Department of Industry. ”

Liu Mengyan said: "What about Lord Yin?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Mayor of Suzhou and Director of the Department of Agriculture. ”

Liu Mengyan frowned slightly, and said, "What about Lord Xie?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Director of the Department of Health, based in Suzhou. ”

Liu Mengyan looked at Li Tingzhi and said, "Lord Li still knows about the affairs of the Privy Council, so he won't resign too, right?" ”

Li Tingzhi smiled indifferently and said, "Haojiao Pingzhang learned that the Metropolitan Governor has appointed Xia Guan as the director of the Department of Commerce, and he wants to go to the post with all the adults. ”

Liu Mengyan asked again with a smile on his face: "What about Lord Zhang Yu?" ”

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Director of the Department of Transportation, he is about to take up his post." ”

Liu Mengyan's face sank, his face gradually became more and more pale, and he said: "All of you are officials of the imperial court, what is the reason for resigning from the court?" What is the difference between the yamen built by the Metropolitan Governor and the six departments? Even if the Metropolitan Governor appoints officials under the third rank without authorization, these adults, especially Li Tingzhi and Master Li, are high-ranking officials of the second grade, can they also be appointed by the Metropolitan Governor? Is the division established by the Metropolitan Governor to be divided with six powers? This ??????" He wanted to tell him how this was different from rebellion, but in the end he didn't say it.
