Chapter 23 (2nd Update)
Yun Chi proposed to let the eleventh prince and Xia Ze enter the Hanlin Academy, if everyone responded, this not only opened up a precedent for the Hanlin Academy to break into the people, but also opened up a precedent for the three provinces and six departments of the court to break the rules into the people.
It's easy to break.
Even Lu Zhiling and Su Ziqi were stunned for a moment, because the two had not heard Yun Chi mention it in advance.
The two glanced at each other, although they didn't know the meaning of Bai Yunchi's move, but they still had to support him, Yun Chi wanted to rectify the situation, so he naturally had to tear a hole in one place first. The court needs to change fresh blood, and a large number of new talents will be inserted, so how can you do it without tearing a hole? Only cutting off the head, dismissing the official, and resigning a few old officials is not enough to change the blood of the court.
So, Lu Zhiling and Su Zi stood up in unison and echoed Yun Chi.
As soon as the two stood up, the courtiers felt that it was not good, and now on the official position, on the ability, on the heavy army and heavy power, these two people can be said to hold heavy troops and real power.
Don't say anything, even if you spit on the ground, it's also a big piece of ice slag.
But there are many old ministers, especially a few old-fashioned old ministers, who are the humerus ministers of the former emperor who assisted the current saint to ascend the throne and pro-government, not only old, but also old.
These few people usually don't go to the court, but when something big happens, they get the news from the court, and they will hurriedly wear court clothes from the mansion, and go to the palace with the golden scissors and golden hammer given by the first emperor to knock the emperor.
Although the emperors of all dynasties did not like his hard-hearted and straightforward temperament, but because of this, he could restrain himself from being a faint monarch and regarded it as a mirror of the emperor.
As soon as these old ministers went to the palace, the weight was heavy.
Everyone looked at His Royal Highness the Prince's face, and saw that Yun Chi seemed to have expected it, his face was not shocked, and the depths of his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
These people were exempt from kneeling, Yun Chi only waved his hand to move the chairs and helped a few people to sit down.
Several people came in a hurry, all of them were out of breath, Yun Chi didn't speak, waiting for a few people to speak.
A few people rested enough, and one of them spoke first, and bitterly stated the harm of Yun Chi's move, endangering the stability of the court, and endangering the society of the Southern Chu River, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not withdraw his life, he would die in this golden palace today, because he was ashamed of the first emperor and the golden scissors in his hand.
The rest of the people also echoed it, and said angrily that His Royal Highness the Prince's previous actions were just a few careless moves, and it was also to hone His Royal Highness the Prince's way of governing the country, they felt that it was understandable, but this act of destroying the court's selection of talents was really impossible, how could two yellow-haired children go to the Hanlin Academy and other noble and respectful places?
Especially Xia Ze is the heir of the Jin Wangfu in the North, everyone knows that the Northland is in turmoil in Southern Chu, and all the major families have rebelled against the heavens to participate in this matter, how many people were killed by Su Zi Ling Chi? Xia Ze of the Jin Palace, it stands to reason that he is also implicated, and thanks to the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince, he did not care about it and exempted him from the crime of implication. But he is too young to enter the Hanlin Academy, if it is a small scourge that is put in, how will he get it in the future?
After all, the people who came out of the Hanlin Academy will be able to hold important positions in the future, and even be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister.
There is also the eleventh prince, that is a playful master, not to mention the Hanlin Academy, where he enters, everyone thinks that he is too young. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been benevolent to the brothers of the royal family over the years, and the courtiers have seen it in their eyes, if they want to use the reuse brothers, the five princes will enter the Hanlin Academy, after all, they are adults and stable, but the eleventh prince will never work.
So, for a while, in the court, only a few old ministers were angry and resolutely opposed.
Yun Chi didn't speak, listening to a few old ministers.
Several old ministers talked for half an hour, which was unprecedented in the four years that Yun Chi had been in charge of the country.
After a few old ministers said enough, they stopped talking, stared at His Royal Highness the Prince, and waited for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to express his position. Although the courtiers saw that the prince was expressionless, they still put most of their hearts at ease, feeling that things had come to this point, the oldest adult was over eighty, even if Yun Chi had the support of Su Ziqi and Lu Zhiling, he should not let those two hairy boys enter the Hanlin Academy.
After all, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not change his mind and retract his thoughts, even if the golden scissors and golden hammers of several old ministers do not chisel into him, if one of the people with great prestige dies, the matter spreads, and His Royal Highness the Prince's reputation will also be damaged.
But I feel that Yun Chi has been doing since he was a child, and there is nothing that he can't do, and he still has a small half of his heart.
The main hall was very quiet for a while, and the needle drop could be heard.
Yun Chi seemed to be tired from sitting, and slowly stood up, standing on the jade steps with his hands in his hands, and his voice was cool, "A few old men have finished speaking?" ”
Several people glanced at each other, nodded, and after saying this, they all felt tired from panting, but let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince retract his thoughts, this toss is worth it.
Yun Chi smiled, "Five years ago, this palace was going to the Sichuan River Valley to provide disaster relief and rescue people, and several adults seem to have been like this in the Golden Palace?" If Hongu remembers correctly, is there such a thing? ”
A few people suddenly had a bad feeling, there was indeed such a thing back then, at that time, the person sitting on the golden chair was the emperor, and the person in power was also the current emperor, Yun Chi was still young.
Yun Chi's eyes were cold, and his face was gloomy, "My father listened to the words of several elders and did not allow me to go to the Sichuan River Valley. At that time, the main palace could not bear to bear the people of the Sichuan River Valley to fall into fire and water, and despite the opposition of his father, he went to the Sichuan River Valley without permission. Later it turned out that Hongu was right. Without the tempering of the past, the main palace would not stand on this court today. It will not calm the southwest territory, pull out the tumor, and will not use Su Zi to clear the north and sweep away the trouble. ”
Several people's hands trembled and their mouths trembled, but one of them still spoke, "The difference between the past and today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot be compared with that year." ”
Yun Chi smiled again and said lightly, "Lord Zheng, you are old. ”
Just this sentence, the old man shook into a sieve, and the last thing people like to hear when they are old is this sentence, and they don't accept the old.
"You haven't been to court in five years, have you? The golden scissors in your hand, even if they hit me, can you still swing them? Yun Chi slowly walked down the jade steps, came to the eighty-year-old man, and asked lightly.
The old man's hand holding the golden scissors could barely shake it, looking at Yun Chi, four years of supervising the country, let this crown prince grow up too much, he is no longer a young man who was subject to the courtiers five years ago, but a young man who has married and married a wife who is more majestic than the emperor.
He stood in front of him like this, with a long body and a jade body, like a noble son with a graceful demeanor, without pressure, without deliberately releasing his majesty, but he had already let most of the people who had lived eighty years and even had their old eyes dazzled to see clearly that the golden dragon in his bones who was about to spread his wings and soar for nine days was opening his teeth and dancing his claws, like a mouthful, and swallowed him.
People live to be eighty years old, and at this age, there are too many people and things that they are used to, some are old and confused, and some are still not confused when they are old.
has lived for so long, and can still ascend to the court, starting from the first emperor, going through today's saints, and now to Yunchi, it is a full three generations. In the time of three generations, he has not been boiled to death by the court, and today he can still go to the palace with golden scissors and a golden hammer, although he has a straight temper, he is not really completely confused.
The first to bear the brunt is this eighty-year-old Zheng.
At this moment, he was close to Yunchi, and suddenly understood, even if several of them died here today, Yunchi's road would not be stopped.
He trembled a few times and wanted to faint, but in the end, he was loyal, loyal to the Southern Chu Jiangshan, and loyal to the royal family surnamed Yun, who had been assisted by the past dynasties. As long as he faints here today, then Yun Chi will be criticized tomorrow for the prince's immorality.
A person who ignored the opposition of his courtiers and his own safety when he was young and went to the river valley to save the people from fire and water could not be a good prince?
This is also why after Yun Chi came back from the Sichuan River Valley, he was in charge of the country, and in the past four years, he has stood firm in the court, even if he did not go to the court to find him a year ago because of the countless turmoil caused by the crown princess.
Even if Lord Zheng doesn't admit to being old, at such a close distance as Yun Chi, he has to admit that he is old. The young prince wants to baptize the court, he wants to change the Southern Chu country to a new chapter, he wants to burn a road and tear a hole to the sky.
So, in a trembling manner, he threw the golden scissors, turned around tremblingly, and walked out of the golden temple without saying a word.
The sound of the golden scissors falling to the ground shook the ears of the Manchao civil and military people, covering up the footsteps of the eighty-year-old man leaving.
People live for a lifetime, stumbling and crawling all the way, and there is no shame in how many losses they have suffered, but it is really shameful to lose the face they want to earn for a lifetime without dignity at the end of their lives.
Lord Zheng has been confused in his life, five years ago, he was confused, although the golden scissors did not wave at the emperor, but the posture was also full of pulling. But today, he was confused for a while, and when Yun Chi stood in front of him, he was not confused.
The few people who were holding the golden whip and hammer in their hands were shocked when they saw that Master Zheng was gone, and they didn't even want the golden scissors. That's it? Did you let the prince stuff the two boys who didn't have any hair in the Hanlin Courtyard to mess around?
In their panic, Yun Chi's voice was gentle and resounded through the hall, "Little Zhongzi, send Elder Zheng." The words fell, adding, "It's cold and snowy, let the old man take the carriage of the palace." ”
"Yes, Your Highness!" Xiao Zhongzi chased after him.
