Chapter 167: The Emperor's Grace is Mighty

Cao Dazhang was originally a member of the current branch, so he was naturally full of thoughts about one more yuan, but Chen Jin was very knowledgeable, and his calligraphy was above him, so it was natural that he could win the top prize. It's just that Tang Shen will fall into the top three, which makes Cao Dazhang really shocked. Others don't know, but he is like a mirror in his heart, how influential the Tang family's father and son are!

Who can press Tang Shen to the top three, I am afraid that there is only one person, and that is Yan Song, the first assistant of the dynasty! Coupled with the contradictions in the previous banquet, if it wasn't for Yan Song, no one would believe it.

Not only Cao Dazhang, but even everyone else thinks so. Everyone became more and more sympathetic to Tang Shen, thinking that a top three-class jinshi had really wronged him, and the fighters who had always been anti-strict were sought after and admired by Shilin.

Tang Shen, a third-class jinshi, has a reputation that is 10,000 times better than that of entering the second-class.

As the so-called lost east corner harvests mulberry elm, it is unclear that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

At this moment, the person who feels the most aggrieved should be Yan Ge Lao, Lao Yan Song looked up to the sky and sighed angrily: "The old man didn't suppress Tang Shen, really not!" ”

It didn't work to say anything, he didn't make a move, but his son did, and this made the loess mud fall into the crotch of his pants, it's not but too!

When he heard Jiajing's decree and summoned Tang Shen to meet him, Lao Yan Song flickered in his heart, and his old eyes were full of shock. Due to the change in Renyin Palace, Jiajing has a strong fear of Ouchi, and the Golden Palace is a ceremony that has to come, usually Jiajing just shows his side, and after accepting the three kneels and nine knocks of the new science and technology jinshi, he immediately turns back to Xiyuan.

And now he actually summoned Tang Shen in the Fengtian Palace, the grace of grace is simply extraordinary!

Since it is so favorable, why not advance Tang Shen's ranking?

Whether it is the second class or the first class, it is not a matter of Jiajing's words, why does he still give Tang Shen the third class and the same jinshi? Top three. The top three......

Yan Song's eyes suddenly appeared in front of a tall and straight figure, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, looking at him contemptuously!

That person is the former Shoufu Xia Yan Xia Guixi!

Xia Yan was also born in the top three jinshi, and later served as the sixth branch of the ministry, and in the great ceremony, Xia Yan was appreciated by Jiajing. At that time, the first assistant was Zhang Xuan, who relied on great gifts to discuss the sudden wealth. Zhang Xuan was very angry that Xia Yan repeatedly offended him, and relied on his authority to mobilize hundreds of officials to pinch Xia Yan, a little ant, to death.

However, Xia Yan's eloquence is unparalleled, he is upright and heroic, and he has won Jiajing's trust, fighting back and forth, Xia Yan's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and his favor is getting bigger and bigger. It has reached the point of fighting against Zhang Zhang.

As a result, because of the false accusation of Zhang Zhang, the first assistant, capsized the boat, and the third-class jinshi who was born as a Yanguan actually broke the rules and became the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty......

Although Xia Yan was later planted in the hands of Yan Song, he admired Xia Guixi and Yan Song for 10,000. And now, Tang Shen is a top three jinshi, and he is the first assistant, compared with Zhang Xuan at the beginning, I am afraid that his reputation is not much better. Jiajing wants to lift Tang Shen again. What is the emperor's calculation, does he have to repeat the mistakes of the past?

Come to think of it. Old Yan Song's back broke out in a cold sweat, he couldn't wait to give his son a mouthful, blame this beast who has no one in his eyes, you are digging a grave for our grandfather!

Not to mention Yan Song's shock and fear, just talk about Tang Shen, under the guidance of McFu. came to the entrance hall and made a big salute in accordance with the rules.

"Tang Qing is exempt from courtesy!" Jiajing's voice was a little ethereal, as if he was from above the Nine Heavens, and Tang Shen hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

He stood in front of the new scholars, respectfully.

Jiajing looked at him. Suddenly smiled: "Tang Qing, I have read your strategy, and I have also read it to all six departments and nine Qings." Many of them agree with your statement, the second assistant Li Ben, the general political envoy Zhao Wenhua, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Ouyang Bijin all proposed to practice the township bravery, defend the Zhejiang soil with the Zhejiang people, and defend the Fujian border with the Fujian people. What do you think? ”

When Tang Shen heard this, he hurriedly knelt down.

At the end of the palace exam, Tang Shen found his son and told Tang Yi about how to write his strategy.

After Tang Yi listened, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he sincerely gave his dad a thumbs up!

"Daddy, the child is wrong." Tang Yi bowed to the ground, and then said ashamedly: "The child is trying to throw out amazing theories to attract attention, and then retreat to the next best, using the combination of world soldiers and recruitment, but ignoring the emperor's fear of trouble. In comparison, it's still Daddy's cleverness! ”

Tang Shen smiled and waved his hand: "Xiang Yong is also something you said, Dad is just using the topic to play." It's just that the strategy is done, what to do next, my father hasn't counted it yet. ”

Tang Yi's eyes rolled, and he immediately launched a joint deduction with his father.

In the past two days, Tang Shen has thought about this question many times.

When Jiajing asked, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, there is a way in the world, and the conquest of rites and music comes from the Son of Heaven." To put it bluntly, Xiang Yong still uses the power of the local powerful gentry, this power can only be used, not reused, and the military power of the imperial court must be tied to the hands of His Majesty in order to be safe and secure. ”

After Tang Shen finished speaking, Zhao Wenhua on the side couldn't wait to ask: "Tang Zicheng, you wrote the strategy, and now you are against practicing Xiangyong, it's not good to be two-faced and three-sworded!" ”

Originally, Zhao Wenhua and Tang Shunzhi were in the same department, and they were very supportive of winning over the Tang family's father and son, but the father and son didn't know what to do, and they made Xiaoge old-fashioned like that, and Zhao Wenhua had to draw a line with them.

Tang Shen knew this in his heart, and smiled slightly: "Lord Zhao, a policy is only a few thousand words, how can I say everything I think in my heart?" And how can all the strategies you want to be realized? As the saying goes, everything is foreseen and nothing is planned, and the major affairs of the military system are not trivial, and how can we be convincing if we do not formulate several sets of strategies, do not ask all parties, and gather opinions? All Xia Guan can think of at this time are just some ideas, why are you in such a hurry? ”

"Hmph, what a sharp tooth, I want to hear what you think."

Tang Shen didn't pay attention to him, but kowtowed to Jiajing, and then said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the cultivation of Xiangyong must be in the hands of the imperial court, otherwise the local powerful and powerful families will take the opportunity to become bigger, which is definitely not the blessing of the imperial court, but I am afraid that the disaster will be especially above the Japanese Kou." ”

Jiajing heard it in his ears, and couldn't help but smile angrily: "Tang Shen, since you know that compiling and training Xiangyong is so harmful, why did you still come up with this idea?" ”

Tang Shen was not afraid, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "Croton is poisonous, but it can cure constipation, and the same is true for Xiang Yong. According to the minister's statistics, most of the Japanese along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River were attacked by squads of less than 100 people. If there were 50 well-trained villagers in the city, who were patrolling and guarding at ordinary times, and when they encountered an attack by the Japanese invaders, they would immediately close the door and close the village, and strictly guard against it, the chances of the Japanese robbers succeeding would be greatly reduced. The minister thought that the number of township warriors in each state and county should not exceed 1,000, and it should be dispersed to multiple large clans, and then coordinated by officials such as county magistrates, county officials, and patrol inspectors. What is particularly important is that the military training officers must be dispatched from other places by the imperial court, and the ministers and the military squire Tang Shunzhi and the dog have formulated a training strategy, and the first battle of Shazhou has achieved initial results. If you train in this way, as long as you are down-to-earth and rigorous, you will be able to get combatable soldiers.

What is particularly important is that within five years, Xiang Yong will either enter the conscription and become a real soldier, or give preferential treatment and disband on the spot. ”

After listening to Tang Shen's idea, Jiajing couldn't help but admire, it was really thoughtful, the quota was limited, and the families were scattered, plus the training of outsiders, for a period of five years, even if he wanted to become big, it was impossible.

"Tang Shen, you said so many restrictions, can the local government still be willing to run a township?"

"Absolutely!" Tang Shen said loudly: "Now Jiangnan has transferred a large number of guest troops, including thousands of wolf soldiers, although these soldiers are tenacious, they are wild and untamable, and they are constantly at odds with the local people. And Xiang Yong was born in the local area and is an authentic soldier. They can fight against the Japanese invaders, protect local interests, and enter the countryside, which can be regarded as a way to get ahead. In addition, it is necessary for the imperial court to give some preferential treatment, such as tax exemption, such as franchising, in short, it must be profitable, and no one will respond. ”

The more Tang Shen spoke, the more excited he became, and more and more people asked questions, no matter how severe and sharp the question was, Tang Shen could deal with it calmly, and the answers were fluent, and he said it clearly and clearly.

Those new science and technology scholars were dumbfounded when they heard it, especially Cao Dazhang, Pang Yuan, and Jiang Yilin, if they talked about poetry and poetry and literary attainments, they were all above Tang Shen. But when it comes to practice, they are not Tang Shen's opponents.

Not only them, but even the court officials present were dumbfounded, this person was only in his early thirties, and few of them could compare with him in his thoughtful thinking and ingenious methods.

Xu Jie saw it in his eyes, he was relieved, no matter what, Tang Shen was his disciple, such an excellent disciple, how could the teacher not like it, especially Tang Shen and Yan Song had a falling out, and they could only rely on themselves in the future, it seemed that it would not be long before they could have an extra arm.

Moreover, Tang Shunzhi also said that Tang Yi's ability is far above his father, and that kid is about to reach the age of the imperial examination, one family and two scholars, how lucky the Tang family is!

The play lasted until the afternoon, and everyone was hungry, but they were reluctant to stop, but Jiajing interrupted the play, stood up from the dragon chair with a smile, and looked at the new science and technology scholars present.

"I called Tang Shen over today just to set an example for you, to tell you how to do things, how to serve the king. You must guard against arrogance and rashness, be attentive, and live up to my hopes! ”

"Obey the Hadith!" All the jinshi fell to their knees together and kowtowed excitedly.

Jiajing said with a smile: "Tang Qing, the great victory on the sandbank is an unprecedented victory in recent years, I am very relieved, and now you have won the Jinshi again, I have fulfilled my promise and crowned you as the head of the Driving Division of the Ministry of War......"

"Minister, thank you, ......"

"Slow." Jiajing stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Now that I have dedicated the township courage strategy, I will reward you for your meritorious service, and I will promote you again to serve as the assistant minister of military training in eastern Zhejiang." ”

After Jiajing finished speaking, everyone present was dumbfounded, a champion was only awarded the sixth-grade Hanlin cultivation, and Tang Shen suddenly jumped to the fifth grade, which is completely different from the concept of scattered officials, it can only be said that the emperor's grace is extremely powerful, and everyone shows a strong look of jealousy!
