Chapter 532: Removing the Old and Cloth the New [4000 Words 2-in-1 Chapter]

Yang Tinghe ......

If you talk about ability, Yang Tinghe is absolutely no problem, and if you talk about the aura, Governor Yang is definitely big enough. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But Xie Shen feels that Xuanda is inseparable from Yang Tinghe at present, just like Shaanxi is inseparable from Yang Yiqing.

In history, Eryang has been the first assistant of the cabinet, which is enough to prove that there is no problem with their ability. However, if Yang Tinghe was transferred back to Beijing and asked to join the cabinet to participate in government affairs, Xie Shen and Li Dongyang would naturally be more relaxed. But what's the difference between that and drinking to quench your thirst? Yang Tinghe is only ten years younger than Xie Qian, and he is almost at the age of Zhishi to put it mildly, and if he doesn't work for another ten years, he will have to beg for bones. Ask a fast person to enter the cabinet, even if he has made political achievements, how many years can he stay?

This is inconsistent with Xie Shen's idea of promoting young talents.

It's Yang Tinghe's son Yang Gongzi who is good, but he is a little too young. By the time he was admitted to the Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy, it was already ten years younger than ten years of seniority, and at that time, I am afraid that Xie Shen and Li Dongyang would be exhausted.

"Ahem, Mu Zhaigong, Xie naturally knows that Shi Zhaigong's ability is enough to be a minister. It's just that now Xuanda is inseparable from Shi Zhaigong. I wonder if Mu Zhai Gong has any other candidates to recommend? ”

Xie Qian pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "The rest are young people who have not been in the office for a long time, I'm afraid ......"

Xie Shen hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's not too old to be ambitious." ”

Xie Qian nodded, isn't the four clear minds the best example? It would be unfair to exclude young people because of their age.

"If there are indeed a few good young people, it is very good for the old man to take care of Kunshan."

Xie Qian said as he stroked his beard.

"Gu Kunshan?"

Xie Shen was stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting to who Xie Qian was talking about.

Xie Qian smiled and said: "Siming, you should have seen him, this person is the champion of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the first to be revised by the Hanlin Academy, and the first year of Zhengde was promoted to the Zuo Yude of Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang." ”

Xie Shen suddenly realized, it turned out that Xie Qian was talking about the talented Gu Dingchen.

Gu Dingchen was born in the ninth year of Chenghua, the word Jiuhe, and was a native of Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture. Gu Dacaizi's promotion trajectory is very similar to Xie Shen, he was born as a champion, awarded revision, and was promoted to the East Palace lecturer not long after.

It's a pity that Gu Dacai, the speaker of the East Palace, is far less powerful than Xie Shen.

The reason is very simple, when Xie Shen served as the official of the East Palace, the lord of Shaoyang was Zhu Houzhao, who was rooted in Miao Hong, the only legitimate heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty. Isn't being the prince's teacher at this time equivalent to escorting the position of the minister?

Let's take a look at Gu Dacaizi, the champion of Hongzhi's eighteenth year, before he had time to get close to His Majesty the Emperor, Emperor Hongzhi kicked his legs and returned to heaven.

According to the usual practice, after serving in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, Gu Dacai should have been awarded the official position of lecturer in the East Palace. But when the son has just ascended the throne today, where is there any heir, this East Palace speaker has purely become a false position, fooling people.

There is an essential difference between a teacher who can give a lecture to the prince and a teacher who cannot give a lecture to the prince. Gu Dingchen can still pack a small load of fresh meat in the Hanlin Courtyard, but when he comes to Zhan Shifu, he can only fantasize about the air and waste the years.

When His Majesty the Emperor has accepted his heart and has an heir, and then the little prince is named the crown prince and goes out of the cabinet to study, how can it take ten years, right? No matter how bad it is, it will take at least seven or eight years, and then Gu Dingchen will have to turn small fresh meat into old bacon.

Of course, if the development of history continues, Emperor Zhengde dies unexpectedly, Gu Dingchen will take over as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and concurrently serve as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, participate in the maintenance of the aircraft, and will replace Xia Yan in the eighteenth year of Jiajing as the first assistant of the cabinet for a short period of one month, reaching the peak of his life.

However, since Xie Shen has crossed over, he does not intend to let history develop along this trajectory.

The reason is also very simple, he looks down on Emperor Jiajing, a mean and unkind monarch by nature.

You don't treat your courtiers sincerely, treat them as cattle and horses, and expect your courtiers to give you their lives? Just kidding!

Look at Xia Yan, Zhang Xuan, Yan Song, and Xu Jie, which one is not the best of the best. Emperor Jiajing thought that he was well versed in the essence of power and that he was perfect in the way of checks and balances, but he didn't know that he treated the minister as a monkey, and the minister still played him as a monkey.

In real terms, Emperor Jiajing is at most at the level of Cixi, and he is completely out of bounds with his talents.

Xie Shen studied the history of Jiajing and Wanli in his previous life, and he wrote a lot of papers to complain about the grandfather and grandson.

Compared with the wise and generous Emperor Hongzhi and the brave and sincere Emperor Zhengde, Jiajing and Wanli were simply disasters for the ministers.

For a simple analogy, being an official in Hongzhi and Zhengde Dynasty is a simple mode in a single-player game. And if the dynasties are replaced by Jiajing and Wanli, being an official in these two dynasties is equivalent to adjusting the difficulty of the game to hell mode.

Of course, Xie Shen didn't want to increase the difficulty of the game for himself, so Zhu Houxi still honestly became the prince in Anlu. The profession of emperor is really not for him.

Press these gossips and don't mention it, let's talk about this Gu Dingchen, this person's character is very good, and most of the history books are praised, and he belongs to a useful person.

The most important thing is that the age is right.

Gu Dingchen is exactly thirty-five years old this year, and he has already experienced in the Hanlin Academy and Zuo Chunfang, which is the right age for promotion, and is more suitable for entering the cabinet and participating in politics than the older Yang Yiqing and Yang Tinghe.

"It turns out that Mu Zhaigong is talking about Gu Jiuhe. Xie has also read a few articles he wrote, all of which are full of words, and I need such a pillar in my Ming Dynasty. ”

Xie Qian just recommended Gu Dingchen, but he didn't expect Xie Shen to be very optimistic about him, and he suddenly felt a sigh of emotion.

is worthy of being the successor of his Xie Qian, and his eyesight is really good......

Xie Shen obviously didn't know Xie Qian's mental activity at the moment, otherwise he would really have a mouthful of old blood spurting out.

Mr. Xie, do you boast about yourself like this?

"However, this person is only Zuo Yude of Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang, and his official position is still lower, so I am afraid it is not appropriate to be promoted to the cabinet like this."

Xie Qian's words changed and said worriedly.

Although the cabinet scholars only have five grades, they are not considered high-ranking officials, but they often serve as six scholars, and sometimes even add three dukes and three orphans, which can be said to be the second grade.

In Xie Qian's view, Gu Dingchen's starting point is very good, he was born as a champion, he was awarded the official Hanlin, he was a leader in the words, and he served in the East Palace. Such a good seedling only needs to mention it, serve as a waiter, and then enter the cabinet will not be so abrupt.

"Well, that's a bit inappropriate. However, with Gu Jiuhe's ability, it is only a matter of time before he joins the sixth department. Xie believes that His Majesty will definitely promote him as well. But before that, I hope Mu Zhai Gong can stand up again. ”

Xie Qian's eyes widened and he looked at Xie Shen in astonishment.

It turns out that this kid is setting himself up, no wonder he has such a big circle in front of him, and what he really wants to say is in the back!

......

......

Xie Qian now really regrets recommending Gu Dingchen to Xie Shen.

Although this person is a very good seedling, he is too young, and it is not suitable for young people in their thirties to enter the cabinet, and not everyone is like a young man in Siming.

If Yang Tinghe or Yang Yiqing enter the cabinet, there will be no problems in terms of qualifications or prestige!

Does he really want to work for another year to pave the way for this kid Gu Dingchen?

Xie Qian is in pain.

The official has already done enough for his part. Think about it, if you had followed Liu Jian to Zhishi at the beginning, I am afraid that it would have already passed the happy days of teasing Sun Jian and sending love to the landscape, right? As for the case like now, it is hard to work all day long, and it is hard to work for the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Xie Shen didn't want Xie Qian to be like this, and it was understandable to stand in his position.

There is an experienced old assistant to supervise and guide by the side, and he will lead the newcomers, and he will grow faster.

As for Gu Dingchen's matter, it also accounts for some factors.

"Siming, let the old man think about it."

Xie Qian didn't have the heart of a love stack, if he could, he would like to recommend Gu Dingchen to be the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites now, so that it would be justified for him to enter the cabinet and participate in government affairs. You don't need to add the title of university scholar, you can study politics first.

He was relieved not to be Xie Shen.

Speaking of which, he and Xie Shen are both from Yuyao, and the two are both fellow villagers and colleagues, and they are both teachers and students, so their relationship is naturally extremely deep.

After all, people hope that the talents in their hometown can become more and more powerful.

To say a selfish thing, since the two entered the cabinet, the power of the Zhejiang Party in the court has reached its peak.

Li Dongyang said that he was from Tuling, but he actually grew up in Beijing, so he was naturally a representative of the Jingshi faction.

Xie Qian and Xie Shen are representatives of the Zhejiang faction.

The third largest faction in the DPRK and China is composed of a number of Suzhou officials.

At the moment, it is naturally the Jingshi faction and the Zhejiang faction that are in power, but once he Xie Qian is appointed to the office, the position of the cabinet will be vacated, and someone will fill it.

If it is really Gu Dingchen who enters the cabinet, then the strength of the Suzhou faction will rise sharply.

Li Dongyang finally had the moment of returning home. At that time, it was the Suzhou faction and the Zhejiang faction that shared the power of the cabinet.

If Xie Shen can't suppress this Gu Dingchen, then the Zhejiang faction will be replaced by the Suzhou faction and lose its hegemony.

It's unlikely, but it's still there.

Xie Qian didn't want to take the risk, if he stayed in the cabinet for another year or two, it seemed more appropriate to wait until Xie Shen's prestige had risen.

Seeing Xie Qian's hesitation, Xie Shenzhi was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Mu Zhaigong, please rest assured." The affairs of the cabinet are still left to me and Xiya Gong to do, if Mu Zhai Gong feels tired and tired, he will rest for a while, presumably His Majesty will not have an opinion. ”

"Hmm."

Xie Qian responded, agreeing with Xie Shen's proposal.

With Xie Shen's current growth rate, he will definitely be able to take the lead in two years at most. He will reluctantly make some contributions to his hometown.

Who called him and Xie Shen both from Yuyao.

"Thank you, Mu Saigong!"

Xie Shen gave Xie Qianshen a deep salute, just like when he was in Yuyao.

Xie Qian nodded with satisfaction, brushing his beard to enjoy the moment.

This kid is really sensible.

......

......

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it came to June of the fourth year of Zhengde.

His Majesty the Emperor had already issued a decree at the beginning of the year, adding one Enke in the fourth year of Zhengde, and allowing all political secretaries to bring people to Beijing to participate in the big competition.

Usually, the competition is held once every three years, and the general examination is held in February and the palace examination is held in March.

However, because it was already the beginning of the year when the announcement of Nko was held, Tabi postponed it to July.

This is great news for all the people who read the world.

You must know that you have studied hard for decades, in order to be able to be on the list of emperors and become an official in the court.

However, the triennial competition has a total of 300 jinshi places.

There are 300 places for students in the whole world, and those who fail the exam can only wait for another three years.

Three years, three years, three years, how many three years in life can be squandered and wait?

But Enko broke this perverted routine and gave the unsuccessful Jinshi a new chance.

Human desires are endless.

When Fang started studying, his goal was to be a showman, and he was called a good man.

When he became a student, he thought that he would be able to make a splash in the autumn and become a soldier.

When one foot entered the circle of gentry, he thought that he must participate in the Qionglin banquet.

After winning the Jinshi, I thought about Shu Jishi, I wanted Hanlin, and I wanted the six Beijing officials, and in the end, the cabinet battle was bloody and bloody......

The road was really thorny and muddy, and there were only a few people who could really get to the end.

However, this does not prevent the reader from dreaming.

What is the difference between a scholar without a dream and a salted fish, people still have to have dreams after all, what if they come true?

At the end of June, the lifters from the two capitals and thirteen provinces gathered in Beijing to prepare for the upcoming examination.

They lived in their respective halls according to the secretaries from whom they came.

For example, the Juren from Zhejiang Province and the Juren from Suzhou live in their respective guilds. Both provinces are big provinces for the imperial examination, and at this time, we must fight for our hometown.

Of course, in addition to the candidates from Suzhou and Zhejiang Province, the strongest candidates are from Jiangxi.

Among them, it is the candidates in Ji'an who are the most perverted.

Before the rise of Yuyao Erxie, the scholars in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province almost monopolized the scientific examination, and a small half of the Jinshi came from here.

Later, the rise of Er Xie brought a diligent style of study in Zhejiang Province, and the students of Zhejiang Province also came to the top, and gradually they could compete with Ji'an Xueba.

Of course, before the results of the examination come out, no one knows where the current branch will come from, and everything is unknown.

The only thing that can be determined is that the chief examiner of this examination is Xiao Xie Ge and Lao Xie Shen.

Needless to say, Xiaoge's literary talent is also top-notch, and his political ability is also top-notch.

It doesn't matter if it is Jiangxi, Suzhou, Zhejiang Province, or candidates from other places all throw themselves into the five bodies that Xie Shen admires.

As long as they can pass the list, they will definitely get the Jinshi quota, and Xiao Ge Lao will be their teacher.

There is such a big man as a master, and he can blow it for half a year.

Among these people, there is a talented Tang Yin from Suzhou.

Tang Yin is already forty, and he can be said to be an uncle compared to those little fresh meat who are a round younger than him.

He was still a little angry, and if Enko had held it in February, he would have barely been thirty-nine, but if it was postponed to July, he would have already passed his birthday and would only be considered forty.
