Ye Yingwu's tough attitude really surprised these courtiers, His Majesty is a typical existence that can do something and never speak, many people know this, but they still didn't expect Ye Yingwu to act like this. This is directly taking off the top of the main book of a ministry, you must know that for the Ming Dynasty, who is now short of officials, Ye Yingwu is definitely not just angry.
This is to show his majesty in Chiguoguo.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play," Wang Lixin, the secretary of the ministry, stood up behind Wen Tianxiang, "Your Majesty, the palace examination should be held near the left, and the minister implores Your Majesty to select the minister who will invigilate the examination." β
Wang Lixin's voice was loud, obviously he did not flinch because of Ye Yingwu's power just now, and at the same time, he didn't give others a chance to stand up at this time, and it was clear that he was on Ye Yingwu's side.
Ye Yingwu nodded, the palace examination is personally invigilated by His Majesty the Emperor, but one or two ministers should also be selected to invigilate the examination with the emperor, these two ministers are of course also the chief examiners who are responsible for reviewing the test papers later, and finally they will send the results of the reviewed test papers to the emperor for inspection.
"Deng Guang, a scholar of the Academy, and Liao Yingzhong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, are in charge of the palace examination," Ye Yingwu said loudly, "Liu Shiyong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Shun, the governor of Zhenjiang Prefecture, are in charge of the school martial arts examination!" β
"Obey the order!" The four people who were pointed out by Ye Yingwu stood up at the same time and answered loudly.
"Do you have any opinions?" Ye Yingwu nodded, and turned his gaze down.
The civil and military officials below just gave up their hands and did not refute much. Originally, as soon as Ye Yingwu's Chrysostom opened, there was actually no opportunity for them to choose more, not to mention that the people selected by Ye Yingwu were all leaky in terms of status and position, and there was no way to refute it.
"Well, just in time for this opportunity, I have one more thing." Ye Yingwu said slowly, "My eldest son, as well as several princes and princesses, have all reached their age, and they should consider education. Therefore, I need to select a few young masters to guide the prince and princess in their homework. β
All the officials in the entire hall immediately cheered up and selected the young master, they all heard the wind or could guess it, and at this time, Ye Yingwu opened his mouth, which means that this dynasty has reached the first small high (harmony) tide, and if those families who have retreated again and again do not want to die without a place to be buried, they will naturally not be able to sit still at this time, even if Ye Yingwu did show a strong hand before.
No matter which dynasty it is, the young master and the companion are very important existences. The young master is likely to become the next emperor's important minister in the early days of the reign, and the next emperor is the same age, and the companion reading is likely to become the important minister in the later period of the reign, it can be said that the election of the young master and the companion reading is equivalent to the election of the new emperor after the enthronement of the court leadership team, so for many people, even if it is just a title of young master hanging on the head, it is equivalent to being among or will be among the top of the power pyramid, such as the Qing Dynasty's Aobai, because of the identity of a young bao, And being able to control the government all year round after Kangxi ascended the throne has even become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh that hinders the new emperor's governance.
It can be seen that as long as you can get the identity of a young master, or the identity of your own children and grandchildren to get the identity of a companion, it represents the emperor's unparalleled trust and the future glory of the family.
Moreover, the choice of the position of young master and companion was a compromise between the royal family and the important ministers of the court and the families who had great influence on the rule of the imperial court, they guaranteed a smooth transition of imperial power, and the royal family also guaranteed the glory and wealth of their descendants.
So many people have speculated before that Ye Yingwu may take advantage of this opportunity to show goodwill to the family, after all, now that the war between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, there is no room for the family to continue to stir up the world in the country, so for Ye Yingwu, if he can show goodwill to the family in this way at this time, and even if the two sides take advantage of this opportunity to negotiate and reach a settlement, then this undercurrent that has been rolling for too long can finally be calmed down, even if it is not divided in the end, But at least everyone can breathe a sigh of relief now.
And it seems that the family also has this idea and expectation, after all, for them, a big battle with Ye Yingwu, even if it is a fluke victory, it is not a cost-effective thing to exchange Ye Yingwu's regression with a great loss of vitality. The success of the family lies not in the fact that it has talented people from generation to generation, which is difficult to do even for a family, but because it is able to maintain its position and maintain its strength from generation to generation.
The strength of the family is accumulated over hundreds of years by several generations, and if there is a direct conflict with His Majesty the Emperor like Ye Yingwu, the loss will definitely not be small, and it is very likely that the efforts of several generations of the family will come to naught, so those families don't want to see such a situation.
This is also why they still have expectations for Ye Yingwu's attitude.
However, it is obvious that Ye Yingwu gave the family a very accurate answer at the beginning of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and if he wants to negotiate peace, there is no way.
This is a struggle that is just as cruel as there is no gunsmoke, and the root of the struggle is to fight for the real right to speak in the world.
Ye Yingwu relied on the army to start, and the process of his hegemony was actually somewhat similar to the feudal town at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which was similar to the founding process of the former Song Dynasty, and it can be said that he did not get much support from the family, so in fact, the family did not play much of an irreplaceable role in the court, which is also the reason why the family gritted its teeth and had to compete with the court, in short, it was to step into the court with Ye Yingwu's concessions, and only in this way could the continuation and survival of the family be guaranteed.
Otherwise, with their previous character as a wall grass, of course they would not have acted so rashly with such fanfare with the imperial court.
As soon as Ye Yingwu finished speaking, Wen Tianxiang stood up unhurriedly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends Liu Chenweng, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Liu Xianggong was born in Bailuzhou Academy, and studied under the former Chaojiang Xianggong and Ouyang Shanchang. β
Liu Chenweng is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and a classmate of Wen Tianxiang and Ye Yingwu, so it is natural for him to serve as this young master. After all, the young master still needs a talented person to take charge, and of course Liu Chenweng's talent is not said. What's more important is that Liu Chenweng has not been involved in the whirlpool until now, and no one knows what his true attitude is, so let this person who is likely to be a neutral faction take the lead, even if it is not the best result, both parties can accept it.
It's better than just tearing your face.
"The minister seconded the proposal!" This time it was almost unanimous, and no one would show signs of this.
Ye Yingwu nodded: "The task of teaching the prince and princess is undertaken by Liu Aiqing, which is very satisfying. However, after all, Liu Qing's family still has the affairs of the Hanlin Academy to undertake, and they can't always go to and from the palace for the teachers of the profession, so I still need to choose two people to be supplemented, one is dedicated to literature and the other is dedicated to martial arts. β
Three people, this is the quota, and it is also His Majesty's bottom line.
The pupils of all the officials shrank, for the family, of course, there is not much achievement in martial arts, and the general family has also soared through efforts in civil official positions, so it is naturally whimsical to want to win the position of a young master specializing in martial arts, so they only have the last choice, but will Your Majesty really be kind enough to vacate this position and hand it over to the family?
After all, no one will forget that when the court was still outside today, there was a relatively high-profile appearance.
For a while, all eyes fell on Li Si, who was standing there quietly, this Ye Yingwu's cronies, a firefighter, was really dragged by His Majesty from the rest of the place to put out the fire this time? The civil and military officials didn't care about being on top of the main hall at this time, not to mention that Ye Yingwu had given them this opportunity, although they didn't dare to talk, but they didn't know how many eyes came and went in a moment.
As for the meaning of each of these gazes, I am afraid only its owner knows.
Wen Tianxiang, Xie Fangde and other important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, who were standing in the front row, did not move at all, as if these things had little to do with them.
Under the gaze of a pair of eyes, Chen Yizhong, the supervisor of the imperial history of the imperial history of the imperial history, stood up unhurriedly and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended the supervision of the imperial history of Liaodong Province Li sigh, Li Xianggong is from Long Yuanrong, these years to expand the land of Yizhou, pacify Annan, and go north to Liaodong, everywhere he goes, he has turned the barren and barbaric land into the happy land of my Ming Dynasty, with outstanding achievements, and Li Xianggong is resourceful, and he has worked hard for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. β
After a pause, Chen Yizhong did not continue, but turned his head slightly provocatively, as if waiting for someone to refute it. As a recognized subordinate of Ye Yingwu, Chen Yizhong stood up at this time and clearly recommended Li Si, which was to make his position clear and want to fight in the ring.
And the imperial historians under Chen Yizhong also had bright eyes, and they swept around the people around them consciously or unconsciously. These guys, whose main task on weekdays is to find faults and are responsible for fighting mouth cannons, are undoubtedly the strongest in Ming and opposition quarrels, and it can be said that they have long been "hungry (harmonious) and thirsty".
Without waiting for Chen Yizhong to go back, Sichuan and Shu Province pacified Zan Wanshou and stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that something is wrong, although Li Xianggong has made great contributions, but after all, he is still young, and he has been walking in the place for a long time, and what he has learned is the talent of helping the people through the world, not the four books and five classics and the sage knowledge that the princes and princesses need now, not to mention that according to the ministers, although Li Xianggong is a descendant of the famous ministers of the previous dynasty, but after all, he grew up among the seamen, and he is not the background of a good minister, I am afraid that Li Xianggong himself has never been in and out of private school, If Li Xianggong came to educate the princes and princesses, the ministers thought it was inappropriate. β
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Youzhan Wanshou stood up, and the officials who were still hesitating also moved quickly one by one, and there were four or five people who stood up for a while, and they were all the more important Lang Zhonghe master books among the six departments.
If Zan Wanshou is on the side of the family, Ye Yingwu can also understand that at the beginning, in Sichuan and Shu, Zhan Wanshou, Zhang Jue and Gundam formed a corner with each other, and even Zan Wanshou had a leading relationship with the other two people, but who would have thought that Ye Yingwu would be born, and almost all the credit for the battle of Luzhou fell on the heads of Gundam and Zhang Jue, causing the two to rise like rockets, and soon surpassed Zan Wanshou, so Zan Wanshou was dissatisfied with Ye Yingwu at that time, plus his family background, Therefore, it was expected by Ye Yingwu to stand up and express his opposition at this time.
For Zan Wanshou, Ye Yingwu was already wary, this person is quite talented, and in history, he also coordinated the armies of Sichuan and Shu and the Mongolian Tatars for more than ten years without defeat, so Ye Yingwu didn't want this person to be wasted, after all, what the Ming Dynasty lacked most now was officials. Gundam and Zhang Jue of Sichuan and Shu are both leading the army, so in Sichuan and Shu Province, they can only be handed over to Zan Wanshou, so as to convince the public, and Ye Yingwu also knows that even if Zan Wanshou and his own political views do not agree, he will never do anything to be sorry for Daming in handling affairs.
What's more, Ye Yingwu is not without other preparations, Wang Shichang, the governor of Sichuan and Shu Province, as Ye Yingwu's henchman, is actually the main responsibility to form a balance with Zan Wanshou.
What Ye Yingwu really didn't expect was that those centrists or wall grasses on weekdays were so neatly on the side of the family, Ye Yingwu would not be naΓ―ve to think that these guys were just a choice made in the short time just now - these centrists in the officialdom have always taken "not participating, not standing in line" as the criterion for dealing with the world, which is why Ye Yingwu chose to appoint them, at least these people can still do some practical things.
But I didn't expect them to be bought by the family, or maybe these guys were originally on the side of the family, and they just kept silent and didn't say anything before.
Ye Yingwu raised his eyebrows and didn't hurry to speak, but the anger that flashed on his face could be detected by anyone with a keen eye. The officials below secretly took a breath in their hearts, it seems that this Li Si is really His Majesty's favorite candidate, and now he is opposed by so many people, no wonder His Majesty is angry, but it should not have touched His Majesty's bottom line yet.
"Why did Prime Minister Zan say this?" Wang Lixin, the secretary of the ministry, said in a deep voice, "The ancients said that heroes don't ask where they come from, Li Xianggong's talent and his skill in governing the country are obvious to all. What's more, Zan Xianggong blindly emphasized that Li Xianggong did not receive education in the private school, didn't Zan Xianggong know, the ancient Ganluo twelve-year-old worship Xianggong, how can he be taught by the private school, even in the previous dynasty, there was a Jiang Wanli Xianggong who we admired, was born in a mountain village, and he was also able to worship the prime minister, and there are great achievements that we admire, from the point of view, even if Li Xianggong has no experience in this area, it does not prevent Li Xianggong from having talent. β
Wang Lixin opened his mouth and lifted Jiang Wanli out, so that Wen Tianxiang, Liu Chenweng and Deng Guangjian and other people from Bailuzhou Academy subconsciously pricked up their ears, not to mention anything else, if someone dared to belittle Jiang Wanli, then they would be the first to refuse.
"Having said that, has Wang Xianggong ever thought about it," a Lang Zhong said in a deep voice, "Although Li Xianggong has such a talent, he may pass it on to the prince and princess?" After all, the princes are the future of the Ming Dynasty, and the princess also represents the face of the royal family, so this young master should not only learn to be rich and rich, but also should have the kung fu of teaching and educating people and teaching people to fish, otherwise what is the use of being a high eight buckets? β
"The minister also has such concerns, Your Majesty, the education of the princes and princesses is no better than others, please think twice before acting!"
Wang Lixin sneered and did not refute more.
"Your colleagues have not talked to Lee Sang-gong, how do you know that Lee Sang-gong does not have such talent?" An imperial historian Huo Ran came out and said loudly.
"Then do you have a lot of dealings with Li Xianggong, so you know Li Xianggong quite well?" A master secretary said unhurriedly, "I just don't know if one of you is the imperial history of the DPRK and the other is an important minister of the frontier, so the exchanges are just between colleagues, or γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»."
Although he didn't say it, everyone knew the meaning of the words, or did he form a party for personal gain?
The taboo in officialdom throughout the ages is that the courtiers and the important ministers of the frontier have too close contacts, so now the question has shifted to this all of a sudden, making the young Yushi's face red and white for a while, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
If you answer this kind of question incorrectly, you will never recover, and it will not only be yourself, but many people will be implicated.
