251 Night Banquet, Autumn Discussion (4, 4000 words)
Of course, what Wei Shui said may happen in school, just like what university teachers will send out before the exam, what exam syllabus, reference test papers, and review question bank, anyway, everyone has it, and the papers come out from here, and you can pass by memorizing it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBut this is a contemporary school, not a court of the Ming Dynasty.
If it is said that it is as simple as putting an end to scientific research fraud cases, then isn't it true that many people throughout the ages can do things according to the rules and regulations, and there is no need to engage in any power struggle?
Maybe these people in front of them couldn't guess Wei Shui's mind for the time being, and they didn't know where the loopholes in this matter were, but Wei Shui had to tell them all the plans.
Because after all, the time is so short, and it is understandable that these people can't think of it. Moreover, Wei Shui is a person who is willing to make plans, and often has a certain plan before he can do things. Even if there is an occasional temporary change of plan, it must be Wei Shui's backup plan. And even if there is no backup plan, the main body of the implementation plan must be Wei Shui, and it cannot be someone else, otherwise, Wei Shui's plan will easily be flawed. Moreover, it is not the first or second time that his plan has failed because of other people.
This time's plan, not only the people in front of them participated, but also the Rumo under Wei Shui, and now Wang Zuo is now nominally the governor and commander of the palm print, but in fact it has long been the actual control of Mo Da. With so many people, Wei Shui couldn't help but feel nervous under the careful planning.
He can't trust anyone else!
This is the reason why he often feels tired and can't find anyone to help him. can't find a helper, not because there are few people around him, nor because everyone's ability is relatively weak, the most direct reason is that he can't trust anyone other than himself at all.
"The reason I'm proposing this to you today is because it's the best way I can think of to deal with it so far." Wei Shui has always been more confident in himself, he said, "First, you suddenly arrived in the capital, saying that Mr. Shen sent you, and I also know what Mr. Shen means. I want you to stay in the capital and help me...... But I don't need so many people. The vast majority of you will go your separate ways to pursue your own future after this autumn. The reason why I let you participate in this autumn festival and leak the exam questions to the candidates is to let you do your best to get close to the candidates of this year. In fact, not the majority of candidates who can stay in the capital are not the majority, and the vast majority of candidates have no way to stay in the capital. Those who stay in the capital do not need you, only those who leave the capital are the goals you need to assist in the future, and they are the hope of your future. ”
Although they all want a good future and want to realize their political ambitions by supporting an official, you must know that these people's vision is high enough. There is no one who can be selected by Shen Zeng to come to the capital without the desire to stay in the capital.
Although they also know that it is indeed the foreign officials who need them more than the Beijing officials. But they're doing it for themselves, not for anyone else, and they're not doing charity. No one needs it
Not for anything else, just because in the Ming Dynasty, where are there more opportunities for promotion? Where is the speed of promotion fast? No need to ask, there are only three 'near' words. Close to the palace, close to the emperor, close to the imperial power.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no place closer to these three places than the capital, and the closest is the cabinet ministers who work in the Wenyuan Pavilion.
Although I also know that I am a little ambitious, but compared to being a strategist of the county order, where is it cool to be a strategist who is an old man? Not to mention that the feeling of going out is different, that is, I am doing it at the speed of realizing revenge. That's different!
But looking at Wei Shui's current attitude, he simply won't recommend them to the elders, but ask them to go to other places to eat ashes by themselves, little by little, layer by layer.
No one dares to pick their heads and say unwanted words, but everyone's face is full of unwilling words.
Wei Shui smiled: "What? Think you've buried your talents? ”
Although he was smiling, the people here were all observant, so they naturally understood that his mood at this time was not good. Therefore, no one dared to talk to each other, and everyone was strangely silent, as if they were fighting against Wei Shui with silence.
Wei Shui laughed for a while, and when he saw that no one was taking care of himself, he also felt quite bored. So he restrained his smile, pointed at someone casually, and said, "Mao Xiang, come and tell me what you think about the dismissal of the Jinyi Guard Military Academy." ”
Suddenly, from the scientific expedition to Jinyiwei? Sun Maoxiang, who was named by name, was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while. After being stunned for a while, he hesitated and said, "The student thinks ...... Thought...... This...... This should be one of the best policies of this dynasty...... Your Majesty he...... Sympathetic ...... the people"
"Nonsense!" Wei Shui shook his head, drank his words, and said, "The cabinet and His Majesty are fighting each other, has anyone considered the life or death of the people?" The so-called good governance, when it is proposed, is thinking about its own interests, only when it is implemented and the people have benefits, then it is put on the hat of compassion for the people's livelihood. The so-called maladministration is nothing more than having no interest in oneself, so we must think of ways to abolish the clauses after finding all the reasons. The so-called lack of benefit to the people is just a high-sounding excuse for the abolition of such a clause! Got it? As long as the cabinet and His Majesty fight like this for more than a day, they will not think about the people for a day! ”
But this ...... What does it have to do with the scientific expedition that Wei Shui just said?
Everyone showed a puzzled look, only Liu Rui nodded slightly.
"Liu Rui?" Wei Shui shouted, "What I just said, it seems that only you understand?" Then you can explain it to you. What do you mean by the example I just proposed to cut the Jinyi Guard Military Academy? ”
Liu Rui said: "Second master, according to the student's superficial opinion, does the second master mean ...... Second Master, you casually proposed an example of cutting the Jinyi Guard Military Academy, and we couldn't see the intention right away. If you really recommend it to the courtiers, I'm afraid that it will only be overstretched in the future, and it will only add to the joke? ”
"That's right!" Wei Shui smiled with satisfaction, "Finally, among you, there are still people who understand." You've all read books, more books than I have. Then you should know that in the article "The Analects of Zizhang", there is such a sentence, "If you are excellent, you will learn, and if you are excellent, you will learn", and now only the latter sentence is often said. You have indeed learned a lot of things in Qiantang Academy, which are very useful for officials along the way, but you must know that Mr. Shen has only been a county magistrate, and the experience and guidance he can give you are only limited to the county magistrate. He has never been a cabinet elder, so it is impossible for him to understand so many twists and turns. You people are the first batch of students from Qiantang Academy, and your path can only be explored by yourself. Compared to the big guys in the court, you are tender! Counsel for them? The stewards of their houses know much more than you know! ”
Such ruthless words made everyone bow their heads. Every word Wei Shui said, they knew it, but they were blindfolded by fame and fortune and didn't recognize their true level.
"Well, you don't have to." After some discussion, Wei Shui comforted them again, "In the end, you have learned the ability, you have been stumbling for so many years, and you don't care about this year or two." Get through these most difficult years, and you'll all have a chance to excel in the future. But now, I have to do what I say! ”
Liu Rui said: "Second master, just give me orders, the students and others know the severity." You are thinking about us, and we will never complain. Everything, just the second master is in charge. ”
Wei Shui nodded and said, "That's the right attitude!" You need to reach out to these students and deal with them so that you can be of use to yourself in the future. Among them, there are Beijing officials, foreign officials, and Jinshi on the same list are often closely connected, and they often stand together in the officialdom. You have to have a good relationship with them, you have to help them, you have to communicate with your colleagues, you have to talk to each other. Maybe now, there is nothing to see in the place. But what about five years? What about ten years? Fifteen years? When the officials you follow go from the prefect to the prefect, and from the prefect to the political envoy, you will become a force in the court! At this time, you yourself have been very old and spicy to realize your ambitions? Isn't it slowly being realized in the past five, ten, or fifteen years? ”
When he said this, everyone didn't realize it and became happy.
Originally, in fact, they wanted to stay in the capital and assist the high-level officials, but they also knew that they were not capable. If you want to assist the lower-level officials in the capital, people don't need you.
In the Ming generation, the autumn examination was generally divided into three classes.
The champion of the first class, Bangyan, and Tanhua, the three of them, are given to the Jinshi and the first, if there is no accident, they will definitely be able to enter the Hanlin Academy, and give you a real job. Whether it's for you to make up a book or for you to give a lecture, you're not sitting on a cold bench anyway. It's hard, but there's hope.
The second-class and third-class students will pick out a very small number of Jiji scholars and intern in the Hanlin Academy. After three years of disbanding, the excellent ones can become Hanlin, the second-class ones can go to the sixth, and the rest are not as good as those who were released early in the same year.
However, there are also concerns.
Jiang Chenghan asked: "Second master, the officials you said about being released, even if they are the highest, they can't sit in the cabinet!" After all, since the beginning of the Yingzong Dynasty, there has been a convention that non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet. If I can't enter the cabinet...... It's a pity. ”
Jiang Chenghan asked such a question, although everyone also wanted to know, but they couldn't help but sweat for him. After all, Wei Shui was very tough all the way to the end, and even used words like 'nonsense'. If he asked so rashly, would it annoy Wei Shui because of this?
It's just that Wei Shui's reaction is not as radical as everyone imagined. Instead, he said very calmly: "You just need to do your own thing, and I'll take care of the rest." His Majesty now urgently needs to have a big change of the cabinet and Jiuqing, and this precedent must be set. As soon as the precedent is set, what is the thing of 'non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet', that is a joke! The courtiers control the cabinet, and His Majesty will not do it. Think about it, our majesty's desire for power is not ordinary, and for the power of the cabinet, it is inevitable! ”
Such......
Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the color of desire in their eyes.
They almost forgot that Wei Shui was young and now he was always with the emperor. They all have to start as the strategists of the county, and Wei Shui is the strategist of His Majesty the Emperor from the beginning, can this be compared?
The so-called people are more popular than people, this is the truth.
Of course, they also knew that they could not compare with Wei Shui, whether in terms of personal quality or opportunities.
"Alright, now for the second point." Wei Shui said, "You leak the exam questions to the candidates, but before you reveal them, you must know who they are related to and who they are friends with, and if you tell him, he will tell his friends, sort out a roster, and make sure that everyone you tell is no one else will leak the exam questions to him." Make sure that while informing everyone, you must also convince them that you have only told him one person, and that the question is spoken through his own mouth. This ensures, to the maximum, not to be discovered by the cabinet. Moreover, the time must be accurate, so that they can have time to prepare for the exam, but also not make too much noise and be discovered by the cabinet. ”
Liu Rui listened and couldn't help asking, "Second master, you said that these things are indeed easy. But the cabinet is the center of power in the Ming Dynasty, and if you want not to be detected by the cabinet...... I'm afraid it's still very difficult! ”
Wei Shui smiled: "It's still the same sentence, you should do it, you do it well, and leave the rest to me." I am now helping His Majesty to straighten out the Jinyiwei in order to let the Jinyiwei do things for His Majesty at the right time. Now, this is the opportunity that His Majesty needs! This is also the third point I want to make, when you act, the brocade guard will help you. But you can't fully trust every brocade guard, because so far, the brocade guard still has the sand mixed in by the cabinet. It will take a long time to completely change the situation. And what you need to do is to do the things I gave you well when Jinyiwei can't trust them all! Before the autumn, all of you, together, were doing one thing. Do it well, I promise you a bright future. If you accidentally smash it...... I won't stay here, one person! ”
