Chapter 331: The Battle of Huiyuan
Li Mo is an honest official, and he is also very capable, taking this foreign inspection as an example, in two capitals and thirteen provinces, how many local officials, he has made the intricate evaluation in an orderly manner by relying on one person. Although Li Mo took the opportunity to depose a large number of Yan Party members, there was a basis for all of them, not fabricated out of thin air, even if the Yan Party was not satisfied, there was no way to take Li Mo.
But like all Qingliu, Li Mo has a fatal weakness, that is, he sees problems as black and white, either friend or foe, and his mind is not very broad-minded.
Take Tang Yi as an example, just because he got close to Hu Zongxian and promoted the opening of the sea together, Li Mo classified him as a political enemy, and even Tang Yi rescued Zhang Jing and Li Tianzhong, Li Mo was not grateful to him. On the contrary, Li Mo also thinks that if it weren't for Tang Yi and Zhao Wenhua secretly communicating and covering up the scandal for him, Zhao Wenhua would have fallen a long time ago, and the overall situation of the southeast would have been held in his hands a long time ago
In fact, Li Mo didn't want to think about it, you used Tang Yi as a gun to deal with Yan Dang, Tang Yi is not a fool, how could he be that rafter who came out......
If it is said that Li Mo can still endure a stomachache due to the previous grievances and grievances, Tang Yi has come up with any plan to build an outer city, which completely offends him to death.
Originally, Li Mo was making a fuss about the outer city, attacking Zhao Wenhua, the first cadre of the Yan Party, for encroaching on shops and greedy for the people's money.
But Tang Yi intervened again, and Zhao Wenhua not only did not fall, but also took charge of the project in the outer city.
Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, Li Dazai didn't mention how depressed he was, and by the way, he also hated Tang Yi very much.
"Civilization, as a teacher, as a heavenly official, should keep the law of the ancestors, Tang Yi is cunning. He has a close relationship with the traitorous party, and he is good at demagoguery, and he reverses black and white, and I must not let him enter the officialdom. Li Mo said with a precedent matter.
Lu Bing's face was embarrassed, and when Tang Yi lost his face, Lu Bing was also very unhappy. But he couldn't stand Jiajing's appreciation of Tang Yi and accepted him as a disciple, even if Lu Bing was 10,000 unwilling. The loyalty cultivated over the years did not allow him to go against Jiajing's will.
Lu Bing could only find a way to persuade his teacher, "Although Tang Yi is not in ten thousand ways, His Majesty appreciates him very much, why should the teacher anger His Majesty because of a little Tang Yi?" What's more, even if Tang Yi enters the officialdom and is far from the teacher, what kind of turmoil can he raise? ”
"No!"
Li Mo shook his head decisively: "Tang Yi is insidious and cunning. Before he entered the officialdom, he had already encouraged His Majesty to open the sea, and he had made out the affairs of the outer city. Moreover, this son is the connection between Yan Dang and Xu Jie, if he is not solved, once Yan Dang and Xu Jie join forces, the old man will definitely lose. ”
Let's talk about it. Li Mo finally said what was in his heart, he wanted to take down Tang Yi. To put it bluntly, the party is the same as the other, and the dissent is excluded.
Lu Bing sat on the Taishi chair, strange to say, what echoed in his mind was not the teacher's words, but the sentence that Tang Yi said to himself at the gate of the Wanshou Palace!
That kid is really right, the glamorous Jinyi Wei Metropolitan Governor is the marionette in Jiajing's hand. He couldn't directly refute Li Mo, so he had to ponder for a while and said, "Teacher, the disciple will arrange for someone to investigate, but Tang Yi is cautious. It may not leave any handles, please forgive me. ”
What is this called, Jin Yiwei still needs evidence to handle the case?
Just set up a crime, take down the person, forget it, before the case is handled, you will be discouraged first, and you can know the result with your toes, Li Mo is very angry, his apprentice is good at everything, but he is ruthless at the critical moment! With your holy family, does it take a lot of effort to design a small solution?
Li Mo wondered if the person in front of him was a brocade guard who was known for his fierceness and brutality!
Lu Bing also felt the teacher's contempt, so he had to flee. Looking at Lu Bing's back, Li Mo gritted his teeth, "If you can't deal with the small ones, just deal with the old ones, no one should treat me Li Shiyan is a vegetarian!" ”
……
Not to mention that Li Dazai was furious, and the marking over there also reached a critical moment, the chief examiner of this subject is Li Ben, a university scholar, and the deputy chief examiner is Shao Zhanshi Yin Tai.
Li Ben, as the most non-existent bachelor, is completely the concubine of the Yan family's father and son, and he can do whatever he wants. The reason why Yan Dang handed over the main examination to him was actually because he considered that Li Mo presided over the external inspection, and they would hurt their muscles and bones, so they used the examination to replenish fresh blood.
Li Ben naturally has to be honest and obedient, as I said earlier, there is no such thing as a completely fair exam in the world, don't look at the test to have a vague name, transcription and other methods to prevent cheating, making people look like an impregnable wall, impeccable. If you think so, obviously your strength is not enough.
Take this meeting as an example, as early as half a month ago, a keyword had been leaked out, and all the people that Yan Dang wanted to take care of had gotten it.
It's just that they also know that they can't make things too much, so most of these related households are placed outside the hundreds, and they don't attract much attention from others
But Yan Dang is not all rice buckets, compared to the popular candidates for the top five of the current department, in addition to Tang Yi, Xu Wei, Zhu Dazhu and Tao Dalin, there is also a Jiangxi nationality, this person's name is Jinda, the word Defu, is fifty-one years old this year.
Don't look at his age, but the article is old-fashioned, majestic and elegant, and is very respected by Shilin.
Relying on this bit of literature alone, he can't get Huiyuan, Jinda is not only Yan Song's fellow villager, he was born in a wealthy businessman's family, and he has been running a good business for three generations and has a rich family background. It is even more legendary that the Jin family got involved with Yan Song ten years ago, and Yan Ge handed over a large amount of property to the Jin family to take care of, and the annual profit alone was hundreds of thousands of taels.
Gossip aside, Jinda's own talent is very good. On the last day of grading, when the deputy examiner Yin Taizheng and the other markers were studying who Huiyuan was, the examiner Li Ben took out an article and put it in front of everyone.
"If you don't have an opinion, this person is the Huiyuan of Jinke." Li Ben said lightly, but his tone was undoubted, this was also a trick he and Yan Song learned, it was a pity that Li Ben did not have the supreme prestige of Yan Song, and Yin Tai, the deputy chief examiner, would not buy his account.
took the article and read it from beginning to end.
This is the standard Confucian economics, when the people are rich, the country will be rich, how can the people be rich, we must reduce excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, prevent arbitrary levies, and rest with the people......
This article is from this point of view, and it is written in a dignified and upright manner. Between the lines, it reveals a strong grasp of the meaning of the scriptures, both the words and the dictionaries are impeccable, natural, and impeccable.
Li Ben had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, since he dared to recommend this article, he was not afraid of someone talking about it. Yin Tai and the others watched for a long time, and some people nodded frequently.
"The examiner is really discerning, such an article can't be a huiyuan, who else is worthy of huiyuan."
Everyone followed suit, saying that the examiner was wise and wise, but Yin Tai, his brows were deeply locked, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
"Elder Li Ge, the lower officials have the courage to ask for advice."
"Don't be so polite, just say it."
"Okay, the lower official wants to ask you what the imperial court did to hold the imperial examination?"
"Naturally, it is for the country to select talents."
"Li Ge is old." Yin Tai said with a smile: "It is precisely because it is for the country that the articles that can be tried cannot be determined by grammar alone." ”
Li Ben chuckled, "Lord Yin, then how do you say you should judge the quality of the article?" ”
"It's very simple, it depends on the holy will, Your Majesty came up with this topic, and what he did was to ask the world for advice and seek a way to manage money." Yin Tai looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Last year, the imperial court had a huge deficit, and various expenses were stretched, and everyone present was also in arrears, right?" I want to ask you, according to this article, can you make up for the deficit of the imperial court? ”
This question really stopped Li Ben.
He only thought about the article itself, and he forgot the hadith, although the article is old, but the concept is outdated, and there is nothing new.
Fortunately, he is also an old fritter, and he smiled indifferently: "Lord Yin, what you said is good, but no matter how talented you are, you lack practical experience, what reasonable opinions can you put forward?" Are you asking too much? ”
"It's not high, there is an article here in Xiaguan, which just solves the problem."
Saying that, Yin Tai also took out an article and slapped it on the table, and everyone came over and looked at it with flashing eyes: "The people are rich from below, and the king is rich from above." ”
Just one sentence to break the topic, it makes everyone's eyes shine, the idea of this lifter is different from others, the people are rich and the wealth are put together, not the usual saying that the people come before the king, everyone can't help but look down.
In the article, the Confucian statement of opposing the monarch and the people was changed, emphasizing that the monarch and the people were one, and those who were for the monarch should protect the country and enrich the people, and those who were common to the people should be sympathetic to the court.
Only when the country is sufficient, can we train strong soldiers and deter barbarians from all directions. The country will be rich and then strong, and if the country is strong, the people will be safe, and the people will be safe and prosperous...... Those who are good at managing money do not have to accumulate wealth for the people, and exchange surplus things for endless wealth overseas, so that the country is rich and the people are rich!
The previous ones are all laid out, talking about the responsibility of the king, to protect the people, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she can't let His Majesty the Emperor pick up a big knife......
Compared with the previous article, this one is sharp and controversial, and the examiners present are divided into two factions, some people hold high the banner of the ancestral system, and want to depose this son, and some people think that this is to save the two parties.
The two sides come and go, and they quarrel fiercely. Yin Tai, this guy doesn't know what medicine he took wrong, but the article in his hand is like a tiger, whoever dares to object, he will bite whomever he wants. even threatened that if he didn't win, he would write to His Majesty.
Li Ben's head is big, he is already timid and afraid, how can the ancestral system be changed casually, but he doesn't want to cause trouble, suddenly his eyes lit up, he can't decide, just leave it to the top.
"Lord Yin, go with this official to face the saint, and respectfully ask the holy judge." After a pause, Li Ben said again: "This official brings my favorite article, you bring your favorite, if Your Majesty blames, you will bear it!" (To be continued.) )
