Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Monarch and the Ministers Meet
"Sure enough, it's a group of old stubborns, clinging to the ancestral system. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoDon't you know that the world is constantly changing and developing, and if you don't keep up with the pace of the times, a dynasty will inevitably decline. ”
Zheng De came to the palace in a rage, obviously very dissatisfied with the outcome of the court meeting. Of course, as the emperor, he can also forcibly issue an order, but looking at Liu Jian's appearance, he will most likely be rejected by the cabinet.
Zheng De has nothing to do this month, and he looked through the "Records of Xianzong". There is such an incident recorded in it, which is that Xianzong's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou, objected to the burial of her mother-in-law Empress Dowager Qian with Yingzong, and was opposed by the ministers, and several orders were rejected, and finally even gathered to kneel in front of the Wenhua Hall and cry to the sky, forcing Emperor Xianzong to give in. This is also the reason why Zheng De turned his face on the spot after hearing the results of the court discussion, but he did not force the edict, and obviously did not want to make such a situation.
Zheng De, who was walking in the palace garden, suddenly remembered the seven young officials he met today, and thought of Li Mengyang and Kang Hai recommended by Li Dongyang, and he didn't know what the abilities of these two were. spread out his left hand, clicked on the system, and entered the names of Li and the others.
Li Mengyang
Highest official position: Jiangxi according to the deputy envoy of the Si Tixue
Competency Rating: Grade C
Systematic review: Zhongshan wolf
Kang Hai
Highest official position: Edited by the Hanlin Academy
Competency Rating: B
Systematic evaluation: The career is short-lived and cannot be evaluated
A C-level and a B-level, seeing this result, Zheng De couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, the abilities of these two people recommended by Li Dongyang are not outstanding, Kang Hai is better, and he is also at a medium level. As for this Li Mengyang's ability, it is really poor, and what is the evaluation of Zhongshan wolf?
It wasn't until he read the biographies of the two that Zheng De understood what was going on. Li Mengyang offended Liu Jin and went to prison because of his jealous and hateful character, and Kang Hai drank with Liu Jin all night in order to save him. After Liu Jin's failure, Kang Hai was implicated, and Li Mengyang did not say a word to save him. caused Kang Hai to reduce his nationality to the people, and then wrote the miscellaneous drama "Zhongshan Wolf" to satirize Li Mengyang. And Li Mengyang also planted a big heel in the officialdom not long after his upright personality, and he was not a leader for life, which is also the reason why the official position of the two is not high.
Now that Zheng De has come to this world, it is estimated that these things will not happen again. However, Zheng De also lost his good impression of Li Mengyang, but he felt sorry for Kang Hai. Looking at the answers of his palace trial strategy, if he can go further in his career, maybe the evaluation may be higher.
Even the ability ratings of the two people recommended by Li Dongyang are not high, and Zheng De has no hope for the rest, but he still has a glimmer of hope to search. Sure enough, the ability ratings of the remaining people are all C-level, and only one Wang Jiusi has reached B-level in people's eyes. However, when the last name was entered, Zheng De's mouth opened wide in surprise, and his face was incredulous.
Wang Tingxiang
Highest official position: Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, Metropolitan Procuratorate Zuodu Yushi
Competency Rating: Grade S
Systematic review: politicians, thinkers, reformers. A thorough materialist, committed to carrying out all-round reforms in education, military, land, and other aspects, should be no less talented than the likes of Shang Yang and Wu Qi.
Zheng De was completely shocked when he saw this evaluation, you must know that the system's evaluation is very stingy, and most of them are cynical, and there are only a few words. And Wang Tingxiang's evaluation, it can be seen that the system attaches great importance to this person, and does not hesitate to use the analogy of Shang Yang and Wu Qi. Who is Shang Ying, the great reformer who made Great Qin rise and swallow the Six Kingdoms. And Wu Qi is also a bull who made the Wei State, which was in the land of the four wars, rise to become the first power in the early Warring States period.
Seeing this, Zheng De trembled with excitement. His mood at the moment is no longer something that can be told by picking up a treasure. It's a pity that except for Kang Hai and Li Mengyang, he didn't look at the rest of the seven scholars in Haoranju at all, and naturally he didn't know what Wang Tingxiang looked like.
Zheng De was eager to get to know Wang Tingxiang, a reformer whose ability was comparable to Shang Ying, and hurriedly shouted to the outside world, "Come on." ”
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Wang Yue walked in, and when he saw Zheng De, who was excited, he was also shocked, what happened to the emperor?
"You go and invite the royal court into the palace." Zheng De commanded him.
Wang Tingxiang, who is this? Wang Yue couldn't remember who this was, and it was estimated that he was a nobody. Besides, the emperor didn't say anything about the official position, where to find this.
Looking at Wang Yue, who was stunned for a while, Zheng De shouted dissatisfied, "Go quickly, why are you still stunned?" ”
"Slave and maid, go now." Wang Yue saw that the emperor looked at him with an unkind face, and he didn't care if he could find it or not, so he quickly agreed to come down first.
After saying that, he ran out to look for someone. Although he didn't know who this person was, as long as he served in the imperial court, he could still find it, but it would take a lot of trouble.
……
The Minghan Forestry Institute is a place for government material storage. Since the Yingzong Dynasty, it has been a convention: non-Jinshi do not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet. Therefore, the Kujishi is known as the "storage phase", and those who can become the Shujishi have the opportunity to rise to the top. From a promising Shu Jishi "dispersed" to a military department, Wang Tingxiang may not be lucky. However, he was not depressed because of this, but did his job conscientiously.
After breaking up directly with his six friends in "Haoranju", Wang Tingxiang did not go home, but came to the six straight rooms and began to write a notebook to prepare for the sparse.
As a contemporary version of the "angry youth", Wang Tingxiang is naturally quite dissatisfied with the many shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty today. It's a pity that as a military department from the seven-rank sesame officer, although he is humble and powerful, he only has the right to put forward opinions. As for whether the emperor adopts it or not, it is not up to him to control it.
Just like Zheng De's cheap dad is alive, Wang Tingxiang has been neglected several times. It's a pity that many of the opinions he put forward have been lost in the sea, and there is no response, which also makes him feel quite disheartened. As for Zheng De, the new emperor whose reputation is not as good as that of Emperor Hongzhi, he has also dutifully written to put forward his opinions, but there has been no response so far.
Today, I was fortunate enough to see the current emperor, but I didn't recognize it. Lost an opportunity to give direct advice, and it is false to say that you are not annoyed. I also heard that Li Dongyang said that the emperor forgave himself and others for their offensive words to the first emperor, it seems that the new emperor is actually not as stubborn as the civil and military officials, but he is also tolerant, which also makes him have the idea of being alienated again.
sprinkled thousands of words in one go, pouring out all the things he has seen and thought over the years between the lines. He didn't even bother to eat lunch, which can also be seen that he is in a high mood at this moment.
Putting down the pen, he glanced at the notebook in his hand, and then looked up at the location of the Qianqing Palace, which was not visible at all, but suddenly felt a little uneasy. I don't know if I can let the emperor see his hard work, and he will suffer from gains and losses. But then he smiled, as a minister, he should do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, how can he look forward and backward because of gains and losses?
He put away the recital and prepared to send it to the General Administration Department to be handed over to the cabinet for the recital, but when he turned around, he saw a red-robed lieutenant officer hurrying in, and when he saw him, he hurriedly shouted, "But Lord Wang, the prime minister of the royal court?" ”
"It's Xiaguan, father-in-law, who is?" Wang Tingxiang looked at the red-robed lieutenant in front of him, and didn't understand why this powerful eunuch suddenly found him?
Wang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and without saying a word, he grabbed Wang Tingxiang and left, "Oh, you let our family have a good meal." Let's go, don't let the emperor wait in a hurry. ”
Emperor? What is the emperor doing in such a hurry to find himself? Wang Tingxiang and the second monk were puzzled. Although he has a relationship with the emperor today, but he is quite impressed by him, the emperor probably doesn't remember what he looks like, how could he suddenly send someone to find him?
He didn't think it was because of his talent. In terms of talent and talent, Li Mengyang and Kang Hai are the best of the seven, and they are only on a par with the other four. Or is it recommended by Li Dongyang, a scholar of the Jinshen Temple? This doesn't seem to make sense, he is not his student, and he has no friendship with him, and he is not famous in the imperial court.
"Father-in-law, what is the emperor looking for Weichen?" Wang Tingxiang looked at Wang Yue in front of him, maybe he would know a thing or two.
Wang Yue glanced back at him, and he was also a little strange what the emperor was looking for this seven-grade sesame petty official to do. shook his head, "Our family doesn't know what the emperor is looking for you, and you will naturally understand when you arrive." ”
Wang Tingxiang took a deep look at the red-robed lieutenant, and he didn't know if he didn't want to say it or if he really didn't know. However, the identities of the two are very different, and they know that no matter how much they ask, they will not be able to ask any results, so they just keep silent.
When Zheng De had just returned from the palace garden, he suddenly looked up and saw that Wang Yue was hurrying over with a young official in a green robe, and before he understood what was going on for a while, he subconsciously asked, "Wang Yue, what are you doing here?" ”
When Wang Yue heard this, he also found the emperor, and happily pulled Wang Tingxiang over quickly, pointing at him and saying, "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, this is Wang Tingxiang in the matter from the Ministry of War, and the slave maid has found it for you." ”
"The Ministry of Weichen and the Ministry of War will see the emperor in the middle of the matter." After seeing the emperor, Wang Tingxiang was a little excited, but calmed down. Sure enough, it was the "young man" who claimed to be Li Ge's distant cousin who he had seen in the morning, dressed up and bowed.
Wang Tingxiang? Zheng De looked at the young official in his early thirties, neither humble nor arrogant, and elegant in front of him, and his first feeling was good.
"We met this morning, but unfortunately we only said goodbye in a hurry." Zheng De looked at him and sighed for a while. Thinking that if it weren't for the existence of the golden finger, he would probably miss an immortal talent like Liu Bei missed Kong Ming.
But Wang Tingxiang was confused for a while. Listening to the meaning of the emperor's words, it seems that it is a huge pity that the two failed to meet, but is it possible?
"What do you want to say?" Zheng De looked at him, although he was eager to meet this person at first, but it was also due to curiosity. I want to know what people who can be compared to Shang Ying, Wu Qi and others look like. After seeing each other, I didn't know what to say for a while, so I had to ask without a beginning.
This made Wang Tingxiang even more like falling into the clouds, and he didn't understand what the emperor was looking for. After thinking about it, he still took out the notebook he wanted from his sleeve and presented it, "This is the ten things that Wei Chen said in today's book, and I hope Your Majesty can adopt it." ”
After taking the notebook handed over, Zheng De was really taken aback, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect this brother to be really prepared. Could it be that those politicians in history who are determined to reform carry their own political ideas with them, and they are ready to take them out at any time when they meet the wise monarch and sage?
Of course, if Wang Tingxiang heard this, he would definitely cry and laugh, and he just wrote a letter to coincide with the meeting.
