In the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di was furious, he hatefully threw an urgent report on the case, and said: "Since I governed the country, I have been sleeping at night, eating unpleasantly, and the people of Shizhou are hateful and hateful, and they actually gathered people to rebel, and the crime is unforgivable. ”

Zheng He, the lieutenant eunuch who was waiting on the side, said softly: "Don't be angry, the emperor is enlightened, the people gather, whether it is really a rebellion still needs to be verified, and the college students must be convened to discuss." ”

Zheng He, a Chinese navigator and diplomat of the Ming Dynasty. In his early years, he served Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and had wisdom and strategy, knew how to practice war, and was a meritorious minister of the "Battle of Jingyan", and had gone to the Western Ocean many times, spanning half the world, and won Zhu Di's attention.

His words attracted Zhu Di's attention, and he hurriedly summoned Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi, and Jin Youzi into the palace to discuss.

Jin Youzi was the first to arrive, got the information, and said: "Don't be angry, the emperor is not angry, Shizhou is a land of one state, the people have no sharp weapons, nothing more than shovels and sickles, even if something happens, it is like a loach into the sea, what wind and waves can it stir up?" I am a Ming officer and army, strong soldiers and horses, and well-trained. Within a month, the rebellion would be quelled. ”

Zhu Di was slightly displeased when he heard his words, what he was worried about was not whether the rebellion could be quelled when the people gathered, but why the people gathered and why they rebelled.

At this time, Yang Shiqi arrived, and he played: "Your Majesty, if you are stable today, the politics are clear, the wind and rain are smooth, the country and the people are safe, the people of Shizhou have been educated for many years, and suddenly rebelled, I am afraid that something is wrong, and the minister thinks that it is better to transfer troops from Shanxi on the one hand to prevent accidents, and in addition, send ministers to Shizhou to find out the truth, appease the people, and promote Your Majesty's education of the people." ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he nodded in agreement, in the end, he was the head of the cabinet, and he considered it comprehensively.

After a while, an old voice outside the imperial study was as loud as a bell and said, "Minister Xia Yuanji, see you in the edict!" ”

Zhu Di hurriedly announced when he heard this. This Xia Yuanji, who is as famous as Jian Yi, is in his fifties, and his beard is half white, but he is in good spirits and has the style of a martial artist.

Xia Yuanji learned the truth and said: "The minister also agrees with Master Yang, the minister thinks that this minister must distinguish between right and wrong, thick and upright, in order to have an effect, it is none other than Jian Shangshu." ”

As he spoke, Jian Yi arrived. Jian Yi said respectfully: "The minister is willing to relieve His Majesty's worries." ”

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "In less than half a year, I will take the test, Master Hu just went, and now I can't do without you, you can recommend another person for me." ”

Jian Yi said: "Supervising the imperial history Kuang Yu, you can take on this responsibility." ”

Kuang Yu, Zhu Di couldn't help but think of his past. In the ninth year of Yongle, Zhu Di was in Shuntianfu, and someone said that Nanjing's financial system was destroyed by some wealthy people, and he sent Kuang Wei to visit. Everyone thought that Daxing Prison was going to capture prisoners, and Kwong Yu only captured a few wealthy people and returned. Shang said: "The people of Nanjing were very shocked and frightened when they heard His Majesty's order, and the financial system was unblocked. Zhu Di also did not want to expand, so he no longer pursued it, and the destruction of Nanjing's financial system was rectified.

Later, when the Japanese invaded Liaodong, more than 100 people who defended the coastal defense were derelict in their duties and should be executed according to the law. Zhu Di ordered Kuang to investigate and investigate, and Kuang told Zhu Di that he could sympathize, and Zhu Di forgave these people for this.

In the fourteenth year of Yongle, Zhu Di built Beijing, there were tens of thousands of people in labor, Zhu Di ordered Kuang Wei to supervise and manage, the project was huge, often people were overwhelmed, sick and could not work, according to the law and the rod was punished and executed, Kuang Wei sympathized with them, resolutely did not punish the crime, and most of those who were sick saved their lives.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Kuang Yu has a deep heart of benevolence, yes." However, he stopped talking, but asked Yang Shiqi and them to go out to discuss.

Several scholars discussed for a long time, Feng Kuang Yu was the deputy envoy of Shaanxi, and sent Dongwei Qianhu Wu Cheng to garrison the western part of Shaanxi.

In the end, Yang Shiqi saw the problem, he said: "The Shizhou Mansion Yin who denounced the rebellion is not small, Your Majesty is afraid that the officials will protect each other, and Kuang Yushi alone cannot find out the truth, and one person must be accompanied by a person who is not an official." ”

Jin Youzi was surprised: "It's not an official, how can you make it?" ”

Jian Yi said with a smile: "In the Hongwu case back then, Grandpa Tai gave the people the right to report corrupt officials, as long as they held the big edict, no one could stop them. Huangming Zuxun also warned that it is necessary to pay attention to public opinion, the Shizhou case is not trivial, and someone really needs to reconcile and be impartial, and Bachelor Yang's concerns are reasonable. ”

The emperor's heart is like this, what he wants, he just doesn't tell you, so the companion is like a tiger, it's good to guess right, and if you can't guess it, you can't avoid being reprimanded. The reprimand is still light, and it is also possible to punish and lose office.

They gave Zhu Di the idea of adding a non-official identity to accompany him, and Zhu Di really readily agreed, it is this non-official candidate, Yang Shiqi recommended Li Qi of Fujian, he is a talented man in Jiangnan, and he has a high reputation.

Zhu Di had a calm face again, obviously he was not satisfied with this candidate.

They recommended a few more people, Nanjing's famous squire, Jin Yiwei, and even the upright Yu Qian recommended them, Zhu Di still disagreed, and reprimanded: "Can't even recommend a person, go back and think about it, I will reply tomorrow." ”

This has caused a few scholars to discuss and discuss, but they can't find anyone more qualified to go to Shaanxi than them.

When Jian Yi returned home, he didn't think about tea and dinner, he locked himself in the study alone, filtered the suitable people in his brain one by one, and still couldn't think of a more suitable person than Li Qi and Yu Qian.

Jian Yixuan came to see her father and asked about the situation, and suddenly smiled.

"You're going to be anxious for your father, and you're still laughing." Jian Yi was annoyed.

"I laughed at my father's cleverness, why did he forget a big thing?"

Forgot something? Jian Yi was at a loss and didn't know why.

"Half a month ago, Your Majesty praised someone at the Jinling Poetry Society."

Jian Yi smiled bitterly: "You said this, how could I forget, but you don't know, that Chen Yuan's achievements in Qiuwei." ”

Jian Yixuan said curiously: "What's wrong?" ”

Jian Yi's face was strange: "If the article is a little worse, it would be enough, he, three exams, three blank papers." ”

Jian Yixuan was stunned, as if she heard the crow cry in her ears. Is it true that what he said is mediocre? Still disdainful of fame, since she doesn't want to test fame, why did she enter the examination room, she suddenly wanted to ask him.

"Your Majesty employs people and is not eclectic, Chen Gongzi can't write articles, and he may not be able to relieve His Majesty's worries. Now that His Majesty has vetoed many people, it doesn't hurt to mention Chen Gongzi more. ”

Jian Yi was moved by her daughter's words, she is her own Zhi Duoxing, as an outsider, she can often help herself solve many problems in the past.

When Jian Yi reported Chen Yuan's name to Zhu Di, Zhu Di just said two words lightly: quasi-music.

Jian Yi and Yang Daxue almost fell headlong, they bothered to work hard for a day and a night, all the celebrities and talents were recommended, His Majesty was not satisfied, and the last one nominated was not a talent, Zhu Di actually agreed. Yang Shiqi had the heart to refute, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's decision, you have your own deep meaning, the investigation of the situation lies in the imperial history, the people who accompany it, it doesn't matter, Dongli doesn't want His Majesty to mean it." ”

Yang Shiqi thought about it, so he drafted the decree, Kuang Yu was appointed as the deputy inspector of Shaanxi, and Jiangning Chen Yuan accompanied him to Shizhou for inspection.
