217 The temptation of official career
If it is really as Wei Shui guessed, then Zhu Houxi's temper makes sense. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Shaozhi...... Shaozhi ......" Wei Shui whispered a few times and said to Zhu Houxi, "Instead of using Shaozhi as the year name, it is better to use Jiajing!" โ
"Jiajing?" Zhu Houxi suddenly broke free from the situation of being fooled by the civil system, but he fell into puzzlement again. What Wei Shui said was 'Jiajing', what does 'Jiajing' mean? As soon as he wanted to ask, he had already thought about it, joy spread to his cheeks, and Zhu Houxi said happily, "Oh, what Mr. Wei means, is the word 'Jiajing' from a paragraph of "Shangshu Wuyi"? Lone remembers that the book said, 'Don't dare to be wasted, Jiajing Yinbang.' As for the small and big, there is no time or resentment. Nine of the fifty years of Gaozong's enjoyment of the country', 'those who are Jiajing, and the harmony is in government'. The meaning of the name of the year should be...... Educate the people, stabilize and obey. And get rid of bad governance, and the country will last for a long time. Is that what you mean, sir? โ
Wei Shui really admires Zhu Houxi so much, can the word 'Jiajing' be associated with so many things?
If it were replaced by any modern person, I am afraid that except for the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there would be no more things associated with the word 'Jiajing'. Among these people, of course, Wei Shui is also included!
Since everyone has interpreted this, Wei Shui of course followed his words and said: "Your Highness is wise in heaven!" The word Jiajing has the meaning of what His Royal Highness said. In the eyes of the grass people, the most important thing is to eliminate maladministration. Jiazhi, goodness! Jingzhi, Pingya! The word Jiajing is the name of the year, which has the meaning of the long country and the peace of the country, but the most important thing is to reform the maladministration of the Zhengde Dynasty. Those who malgovern, the Son of Heaven is not like the Son of Heaven, and the courtiers are not like the courtiers. How noble is the dignified son of heaven? It is a great joke to condescend to the dignity and make himself a general! It is to sweep the ground with majesty, and the courtiers are not satisfied! Courtiers, courtiers of kings! Since he is a courtier, he must do his duty as a courtier. Everything has to be managed, but the monarch has an order, and there is no obedience. Could this be the work of a courtier? Not qualified at all! So, innovation is needed! Moreover, it must be renewed! โ
No one, given the opportunity to sit on the highest position, wants his power to be bound in any direction. Zhu Houxi was a power maniac in history, although he did not go to court for decades, but the major affairs of the court were firmly controlled in his hands. Wei Shui's words naturally won Zhu Houxi's appetite.
As a result, he also had a great impression of 'Jiajing', the name that originally belonged to him.
Yang Tinghe originally wanted to give Zhu Houxi a dismissal and let him know that the old-timers were not easy to mess with. But who knows, the backhand of the people countered Yang Tinghe all of a sudden, so that Yang Tinghe had to face the reality. With Wei Shui blending, Zhu Houxi is probably not easy to fool!
"The old man really didn't expect that a teenager would have such great ability." In the Wenyuan Pavilion of the cabinet office, Yang Tinghe shook his head and sighed.
Liang Chu, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Huagai Temple, sighed and said: "If I knew today, I shouldn't have hastily compromised in the first place!" โ
But what if you don't compromise? The situation is stronger than people, and it is such a choice for anyone to change.
Jiang Mian, a scholar of the Hubu Shangshu and a scholar of the Jinshen Temple, saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, and had to stand up and comfort everyone: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to talk about the past!" Actually, Wei Shui, I also sent someone to check. He was originally from a beggar family in Shaoxing, and after being a sinner, he was also arrested and imprisoned for his crimes. It's just that later, I don't know how to run to Nanchang, and then get Zhu Chenhao's favor, and even once supervised the soldiers and horses to break Huzhou. It's just that Zhu Chenhao made a faint move later, and when he led the army back to Jiangxi, he was attacked by the enemy on his back, and he actually disbanded more than 10,000 troops at night and led people to flee. From this point of view, this is definitely not a simple child. Allowing him to stay with His Majesty will only spoil our affairs. โ
Jiang Mian's words resonated with several other people, and Mao Ji, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, nodded and agreed: "That makes sense!" In my opinion, now, we might as well compromise with the new monarch, and after the enthronement ceremony, Wei Shui is a grass people, and he is a lowly beggar, so naturally he can't stay in the palace to live. Isn't it easy to get him out of the palace and knead him round? โ
Several cabinet elders discussed and decided to use the 'Jiajing' era name proposed by Zhu Houxi. This year is still the year of Zhengde, and the following year it was changed to Jiajing.
The scene of everyone's joy made Zhu Houxi very satisfied.
got the name he wanted, and he trusted Wei Shui more and more.
It's a pity that his trust is not worth much now.
Just like Mao Ji said, after the enthronement ceremony, how can Zhu Houxi, who is not yet in power, protect Wei Shui? Moreover, even if he had this ability, for the sake of Wei Shui, what was he really willing to do against the courtiers?
Wei Shui has no bottom in his heart about this, and it has never been his character to entrust his fate to other people's hands and sit still.
Under the solemn atmosphere of the enthronement ceremony, although there were many people participating, it did not seem noisy at all.
The young Son of Heaven wore a robe that symbolized the Son of Heaven and ascended to the highest throne in the Ming Dynasty.
Wei Shui was not allowed to participate due to his identity, but he could still imagine how magnificent the scene was.
"Second master, what should I do next?" Zhang Yang leaned next to Wei Shui, standing at a distance from the palace gate, and asked him softly in his ear.
Wei Shui was silent for a long time, and asked him abruptly, "Ruoxi, you are from a Jinshi, if you have the opportunity, are you still willing to rank in the court?" Joining the cabinet as a supplement or something? โ
Zhang Yang was rarely stunned, and looked at Wei Shui carefully, trying to figure out what he really thought in his heart.
After a while, Zhang Yang finally gave up, and still chose to answer honestly: "Second master, the student has been in the cold for ten years, and once he wins, he naturally wants to go further in the official career." But...... The student has the status of a prisoner, I'm afraid ......"
"That's not a problem, Ruoxi." Wei Shui shook his head, looked at Zhang Yang with blazing eyes, and said with a smile, "If you want, it's not difficult for you to return to your official career." But you have to promise me everything, listen to my arrangement. โ
Zhang Yang felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart!
If what Wei Shui said is true, according to Wei Ping's wrists, coupled with Zhu Houxi's trust in him at this time, it is really impossible to return to his official career.
Zhang Yang hurriedly assured that Wei Shui didn't take a word to heart.
If it is guaranteed to be useful, how can there be so many traitors in the world? Anyone needs proper restraint and guidance in order to be safe for my use.
