Chapter 16: A Thought

It's just that Li Yuntian is too young, has shallow social experience, and doesn't know how to be an official, so he has empty ambitions, and even Zhang Youde can't fight, and he is played by Zhang Youde in the palm of his hand without knowing it. The fastest and most stable update is the artifact of reading books

"Luo Bantou, this official really feels that he is not suitable to be an official, and he should go home and concentrate on studying." Li Yuntian shook his head with a smile and let out a long sigh.

"My lord, if it weren't for you, Whitewater would not have received so much relief materials, and now it seems that the victims of the disaster will be able to move into new houses before the winter, and this is all thanks to you." Luo Ming suddenly sympathized with Li Yuntian, and couldn't help but comfort him.

If it were another official, the disaster would have been suppressed, and then it would not have been possible to get such abundant relief materials, and even if those relief materials arrived, they would have been withheld by some officials, and in the end, very few of them reached the hands of the people.

But Li Yuntian is different, he dares to publicize his "ugly things", so naturally he dares to go to those officials who withhold disaster relief materials for trouble.

Therefore, this time, the disaster relief materials in Baishui Town were completely distributed, and no one wanted to provoke Li Yuntian, a stunned young man, at this time.

Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, did not speak, and walked forward silently, Luo Ming felt that his back was very lonely and lonely.

One afternoon a few days later, east of the Forbidden City, Wenyuan Pavilion.

Although Wenyuan Pavilion is inconspicuous among the many palace buildings in the Forbidden City, it is the center of the Ming administration and the office of the Ming Cabinet.

After passing through the general political envoys, all the large and small concerts of all the country will gather here, and the cabinet members will select important concerts from them for the Yongle Emperor to see.

At this time, in a spacious room, two old men in scarlet robes, black veils on their heads, and a brocade chicken embroidered on the patch on their chests were sitting in front of the table, flipping through the folds placed on the table.

"Interesting!" Suddenly, one of the thin old men couldn't help but laugh as he looked at a piece of music in his hand.

"Lord Yang, why are you laughing?" At this time, another round-faced old man who was sitting at a desk not far away and reading the folds raised his head and asked with some curiosity.

"The magistrate of Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, pleaded guilty to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to let him go to the border to kill the enemy and serve the country, and he was determined to die on the battlefield." Lord Yang closed the piece in his hand and looked at the round-faced old man with a smile.

"Hukou County?" The round-faced old man groaned for a moment and asked, "But where there were water bandits some time ago?" ”

"Exactly there." Lord Yang nodded, "Twenty-five people died, one hundred and sixteen houses were burned, and there has never been such a strict bandit in Jiujiang Mansion." ”

"I heard that the magistrate of Hukou County was so frightened that he fainted when he faced the enemy, which made the people he led rout, which gave those water bandits a chance to take advantage of it, and wantonly burned and looted, His Majesty hated this kind of greedy for life and afraid of death, and this time he must be heavily responsible." The round-faced old man was not optimistic about Li Yuntian's current situation, and said with a frown.

Lord Yang smiled slightly, did not answer, and continued to look at the music on the table.

At night, Qianqing Palace, South Study.

"Your Majesty, this is the piece chosen by the minister, please take a look." Lord Yang walked into the room and bowed to an old man in a bright yellow dragon robe, tall and powerful, and energetic sitting behind the desk.

"Give a seat." This mighty old man was naturally Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, smiled slightly at Lord Yang, asked the chamberlain to bring a chair to Lord Yang, and then flipped through the recital sent by Lord Yang.

If Emperor Yongle was satisfied, he would use a red pen to write the word "read" on the note, and deal with the affairs of the chapter according to the method on the note.

If he had any different opinions, he wrote them down in a vermilion pen on the cantata, which is often referred to as the "Zhu Pen Imperial Approval".

In this way, it saves a lot of time in processing the concerto and simplifies the efficiency of the concerta.

Emperor Yongli asked Lord Yang about some matters on the piece while flipping through the chapter, and Lord Yang answered in an orderly manner, and soon the last piece was left.

"Yang Qing, why is there no note in this book." Emperor Yongli opened the music and looked at it, slightly stunned, and looked up at Lord Yang who was sitting there.

"Your Majesty, this is Li Yuntian, the magistrate of Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, and the minister does not dare to make a judgment." Lord Yang bowed to Emperor Yongle and replied quietly.

"Guilty form?" Emperor Yongle's brows furrowed, and he could let Lord Yang hand the chapter in front of him, so it was definitely not a trivial matter, so he looked at the content of the chapter.

The words of the chapter are very beautifully written, and Li Yuntian completely expressed what happened that night, especially the shock when he saw the bloody human head, emphasizing the use of pen and ink to describe it, and made a full foreshadowing for the fainting later.

In the end, he said in a tragic tone, "The ministers are responsible for the emperor's grace, and the people are ashamed, Sven sweeps the floor, knowing that the sins are deep, and he has no shame to live in the world, but he has studied hard for ten years, and he has not been able to worry about the monarch in the slightest, and he has served the country for half a point, and the ministers are really ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs, so I implore His Majesty to allow the ministers to wear the crime and kill the enemy to serve the country, and the ministers will be shrouded in horse leather to repay the grace of the saint!" ”

"This person still has a bit of backbone." After reading the content of the concerto, Emperor Yongle couldn't help laughing, he was born in the army, and he had been in the field for most of his life, and this kind of concerto full of slaughter was very much to his appetite.

"Yang Qing, what do you think?" Then, Emperor Yongle looked at Lord Yang and asked with a smile.

"The minister thinks that he is still a little responsible, for the sake of him being a new science and branch jinshi, and he has been in office in Hukou County for less than three months, the minister thinks that he should be given a chance to serve the country and let him wash away his shame on the battlefield." Lord Yang replied quietly, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"He's a new science and technology sergeant?" Emperor Yongle was a little surprised, the newly promoted Jinshi usually stayed in the capital to improve their qualifications, and strive to serve in the major ministries, and few people were released as officials.

Although Li Yuntian's appointment was approved by Emperor Yongle, it was just a form, and it was impossible for Emperor Yongle to know who he was, let alone remember him.

"He ranked second class in the palace examination, and he is the youngest of the current science and technology scholars, and he has not yet won the weak crown." Lord Yang nodded and explained to Emperor Yongle in a deep voice.

"There's something interesting about this guy." Hearing this, Emperor Yongle stretched out his hand and touched his beard, looked at the recital again, and nodded slightly.

There is no justification in the chapter, there is no complaint, and there is no prevarication, there is only the helplessness of failing to annihilate the water bandits and the emotion of not being able to serve the country.

"Yang Qing, how do you think I should handle this matter?" After closing the concerto, Emperor Yongle looked at Lord Yang with great interest, if Li Yuntian was a new science and technology jinshi, then he would be Lord Yang's disciple.

That's right, this Lord Yang is Yang Shiqi, Shiqi is his word, and his real name is "Yang Yu".

"Your Majesty has already made a holy decision, and the ministers are listening." Yang Shiqi smiled slightly, and said to Emperor Yongle, from Emperor Yongle's mood, he already knew that Li Yuntian had escaped.

"Sue him, I don't want to desert, his battlefield is in Hukou County, I give him three years to capture the bandit leader Wang San, if he can't catch anyone within three years, then he doesn't have to go to the frontier, just cut it himself." Emperor Yongle smiled, pondered for a while, wrote the four big words "Guilty and Meritorious Service" on Li Yuntian's recital, and then said to Yang Shiqi.

"Your Majesty!" When Yang Shiqi heard this, he threw his hand at Emperor Yongle, and he slapped a sycophant, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

On the surface, Yang Shiqi did not express his position on Li Yuntian's matter, but in fact, he secretly helped Li Yuntian a lot, if it weren't for him, Emperor Yongle would not have known that Li Yuntian was a newly promoted Jinshi, and things would not have gone so smoothly.

However, Li Yuntian's ability to have this creation mainly depends on his well-written plea form, which is in line with Emperor Yongle's temperament, so that if he beats the side drum on the side, Emperor Yongle will naturally not hold him accountable.

To tell the truth, Emperor Yongle is used to seeing dead people in the southern and northern wars, and those twenty-five lives may be a great deal in the eyes of others, but in front of him it is just a number, big can be big, small is insignificant, how to deal with Li Yuntian is completely based on his own thoughts.

As for whether Li Yuntian can catch Wang San in three years, this is a later story, not to mention whether the Yongle Emperor, who has a lot of opportunities, will remember this matter, and then Li Yuntian will casually find someone to pretend to be Wang San, and he will deal with it.

The reason why Yang Shiqi wanted to help Li Yuntian was not that he valued Li Yuntian very much, in fact, he couldn't remember Li Yuntian's appearance at all, he only knew that he was his own disciple.

This is normal, Yang Shiqi is in a high position, there are many officials under him, Li Yuntian can't be on the stage at all, he can't have any impression of Li Yuntian.

And he can remember Li Yuntian's name, which is related to the fact that Li Yuntian asked Li Manshan and Li Daniu to come to the capital not long ago to deliver Hukou County's specialties.

As Li Yuntian's mentor, the specialty he gave to Yang Shiqi must be the heaviest, and Li Manshan left his name after sending the gift.

It just so happened that Yang Shiqi once made a dish cooked with Hukou County's specialties in the kitchen when he was eating at home, he thought it tasted good, and casually asked where the dish came from, so he knew that it was sent by Li Yuntian, the magistrate of Hukou County, and it was his protégé.

Therefore, when he saw that Li Yuntian's signature was Li Yuntian, the magistrate of Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi, he had an impression of this name in his mind, and realized that Li Yuntian was his protégé, so he helped.

Yang Shiqi had a deep impression of this piece written by Li Yuntian, and there were only two possibilities to write such an excellent piece, one was that Li Yuntian was an elm pimple who really wanted to go to the frontier to kill the enemy and serve the country, and the other was that Li Yuntian was a very smart person who took retreat as advance.
