Chapter 354: The world is happy, and new worries are born
Zhu Qizhen's words in the prison of that country were only three or five hours after a short period of effort, and they spread throughout the capital, whether it was those scholars who were studying hard in private schools, or those who were lingering in Goulan's poems and poems, or officials who were working in the yamen and inviting friends in the palace, they all heard the news.
The entire Jingshi was as if it had been swept away by the tsunami, and it boiled in an instant. Countless scholars gathered in Beijing asked each other about the real surnames of the news, and the Guozijian was surrounded by tens of thousands of scholars, and the officials of the Guozijian had to come out again and again to explain to these scholars that Zhu Qizhen, the great tomorrow, had indeed said these words in the Guozijian.
I don't know how many people cried with joy after hearing the news, and more people drank and sang wildly, as if they had been able to step onto the Golden Strip. Even some readers who are quick to say and act suppressed the surprise in their hearts, and went to those bookstores to find some miscellaneous books to read, even if they still don't understand which subjects Zhu Qizhen wants to set up in the end, but arithmetic is certain.
All of a sudden, after the arithmetic that few people in those libraries were concerned, they were almost snapped up by those readers, and they really had the posture of Luoyang paper.
And when those officials heard the news, their reactions were also different, but almost all of them remained silent for the first time after hearing the news. Because these officials are not stupid, if anyone dares to jump out at such a time and threaten to oppose Zhu Qizhen's move to open additional subjects.
Then his approach is completely cutting off a golden avenue that many scholars have just seen, you can imagine what kind of reaction tens of thousands of hot-blooded young people in the capital will make?
Think about it, in the era of political relaxation in the Ming Dynasty, as an official, if you really want to provoke the scholars, then you just wait, if you don't peel your skin, it will definitely make you discredited, and think about it, these scholars are all from all over the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the officials in the Ming Dynasty are also officials who have entered through the imperial examination, and these young people, as their juniors and fellow villagers, will naturally be greatly promoted, and everyone hopes that they can help more in the officialdom.
But if you want to provoke those scholars who have not yet entered the officialdom, what will their backstage think of you, in a word, discrediting is one thing, but if you are excluded by your colleagues in the officialdom, it can be said that this life will come to an end.
--------------------What's more, this matter is still the will of Zhu Qizhen, the more prestigious tomorrow, although before, Zhu Qizhen seemed to be quite benevolent in his attitude and behavior towards the courtiers.
However, after that, Shi Heng, Zhang Xuan and other heroes who supported Zhu Qizhen's re-enthronement, because of some small things, were actually ordered by Zhu Qizhen to think about it behind closed doors, and even cut the actual positions of several officials.
As for that Zhang Xuan, he was also sent to Nanjing and became the head of Nanjing Jinyiwei, according to Zhu Qizhen's will, let that Zhang Xuan go to Nanjing not because he was demoted to retire, but let him supervise the construction of treasure ships and monitor Jiangnan for the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven.
In the eyes of these officials, this is looking for the stubble of other officials, picking on the thorns of others, and then arching the officials who are close to them in the position, such behavior is just a common practice and practice in the Ming officialdom, and it can be said that it has long been a matter of course.
However, it provoked such a big reaction from Zhu Qizhen, which couldn't help but make those officials vigilant, and they acted more and more carefully, after all, not everyone loves the reputation of uprightness, and does not like the right to get their hands. Besides, this matter is a great thing for readers.
Although even if a few more subjects are opened, they will definitely not be able to satisfy the readers in the world, but after all, there is a little more hope that people can look forward to.
"Your Majesty's move is ruthless enough, but such a simple will has captured the hearts of the world's reading seeds. Amazing, amazing......" Lao Wang stroked his long beard, his face was full of admiration, for Zhu Qizhen's methods, he almost wanted to use the five bodies to express his inner admiration for His Majesty the Emperor, who always did things unexpectedly.
"Yes, who would have thought that Your Majesty is just an old example of the retro time, but it is precisely because of the old example of the retro time that all the ministers in the court are speechless and unstoppable, not to mention, everyone is happy to see it come true, therefore, the heart of the world's scholars is in the hands of the Son of Heaven." Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "In the past two years, the old man has only seen His Majesty's achievements in military strategy, and he doesn't want to, and he is not inferior to Emperor Taizong in terms of wrists. It's really my luck. ”
"Your Majesty today, twenty-five years old, when he is in the prime of life, he has such a mind and means, it seems that I am expected to prosper." With a sick face, the old Yang Hong, who was lying on the couch, stroked his long beard under his chin, and was extremely relieved.
"It's a pity that the old man is dying of old age and is no longer in his prime, otherwise, my old Yang Hong is willing to ask Your Majesty to be a pawn and expand the territory for my Ming Dynasty."
Seeing that in just a few months, people seem to be a lot clearer, and no longer the majestic Yang Hong, Lao Wang Zhi can't help but sigh a little bit about the ruthlessness of the years, and he smiled and said with relief: "Why should the governor of the capital be so emotional, the three sons of Yangmen, the tiger generals of the world, are in the prime of life, and now they are trusted by His Majesty, he said, Yangmen is a family, I am afraid that there is more than one marquis." ”
Hearing Lao Wang's straight words, the smile on Yang Hong's face couldn't help but feel a little more longing and kindness. The three sons under his knees are now all trusted by the Son of Heaven, and he sees that today's son is not a mediocre and incompetent person, and he is the ** who expands the territory, I am afraid that he is even stronger than Emperor Taizong. The ministers in the court either didn't know the reason why Shi Heng was sent by Zhu Qizhen to the eastern border town of Liao, but could he, Yang Hong, Wang Zhi, and Hu Huyan not know?
Now, Yang Jun followed Shi Heng to the eastern border town of Liao, and Yang Xin was stationed in Xuanfu, so Yang Neng took over Yang Jun's class at the moment and became the new internal school training officer.
Yang Jun, as the eldest son, will naturally attack his title, and Yang Xin is capable of both civil and military affairs, and has the style of a general, and now he is also quite successful in governing the army in Naxuanfu, as for Yang Neng, he can be appointed by the Son of Heaven as one of the training officers, which also shows his trustworthiness.
His three children can all become talents and are valued by the Son of Heaven, and this alone is enough to make the eighty-year-old Yang Hong feel great comfort. "I just hope that those three little rabbit cubs will not live up to His Majesty's high hopes, otherwise, the old man will not be blind."
After -------------------- sighing and sighing, Lao Wang stared straight and said: "Your Majesty has done this, but it has played a role in recruiting talents, but after a long time, wouldn't it be as good as the former Song Dynasty?" ”
Hearing this, Hu Hu and Yang Hong, who were originally relaxed and leisurely, couldn't help but sink slightly. Yang Hong stroked the snow beard for a long time, and then said with a little hesitation: "It's not like this, right?" Although the Son of Heaven has added subjects, he has taken useful talents for the sake of the country. ”
"However, if you think about it, in the Tang Dynasty, there were thirty-four scholars per session, and in the former Song Dynasty, there were four or five hundred people at every turn. The old man still remembers that in the second year of the Chunhua of Taizong of the Song Dynasty, in the previous year of the Song Dynasty, the total number of scholars in the imperial court reached 17,300. Such a number is really so much that the old man can't forget it. ”
Hearing Lao Wangzhi's words, Hu Hu and Yang Hongrao are scheming senior officialdom personnel, but when they heard this number, they still couldn't help but have straight eyes and grinning bosses.
"Obediently, seventeen thousand three hundred? I'm afraid that the officials of our Ming Dynasty are all together, so it's about the same number, right? Yang Hong wrenched his fingers and couldn't help but shake his head again and again.
"I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, more than 14,380, this number, the old man as a ministry, I dare not forget." Lao Wang Zhi proudly showed off his still excellent memory. Seeing that these two old friends were still shocked, Lao Wang Zhi decided to give these two a long insight.
"The two of you may not know that in the former Song Dynasty, the clan and cronies were particularly favored, and they were awarded officials at will, and the boys of the imperial clan could be awarded officials at the age of seven, and some even had official ranks in their infancy, and received a salary; Outside the clan, other side branches, different surnames, and disciples can all be shaded and supplemented by officials......"
The two can know that during the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong reduced the number of officials in Chang'an from more than 2,000 to 634. In the former Song Dynasty, there were more than 17,000 subordinate officials inside and outside the Song Dynasty, while the territory under the jurisdiction of the Northern Song Dynasty was only half of that of the Tang Dynasty......"
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Confucianism and Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan were at home and abroad, and Mr. Ye Shi, who had been at home and abroad, once said: 'Since ancient times, there have not been so many abusive officials', and the Northern Song Dynasty and Ouyang Xiu jointly repaired the "New Tang Dynasty Book", because of its "Yulou Chun" words have the sentence "red apricot branches are in spring", and Song Qi, who is known as "Red Apricot Shangshu", sighed: "The state and county are not as wide as before, and the officials are five times as large as the old" ......
"I'm not going to do this, am I?" Hu Hu's brows couldn't help frowning, thinking about it, and finally Hu Hu shook his head and said bluntly to the king with a smile.
"It's not that the old man is worried about the sky, but because of His Majesty's actions today, I think of another incident in the former Song Dynasty." Wang Zhi took a deep breath. "Fang Cai, the old man once said that in the former Song Dynasty, the disciples of the clan were especially favored and conferred official ...... at will."
