Prince Liang understood the worries in Yang Tinghe's words, if King Yong ascended the throne and vigorously promoted commerce, it would not be harmful to the Ming Dynasty, but if the commercial tax was relevant, it would inevitably cause a strong backlash from the court!

This may become an unprecedentedly tragic game between the royal family and the scholars, if the Yongwang is defeated and retreats, then it will inevitably have a severe blow to his prestige, but if the scholars are defeated, the monarchy will inevitably be far above the ministers!

Yang Tinghe is the first assistant of the cabinet, it can be said that he is already the pinnacle of the people, and the confrontation between King Yong and him is actually a fight between the prime minister and the monarch!

No one on either side can be defeated, as a Confucian scholar Liang Chu naturally does not want Yang Tinghe to lose, if Yang Tinghe is defeated, the achievements of the famous religion after a hundred years of hard work to be able to resist the monarchy will inevitably be put to waste, if the political environment of the Ming Dynasty is restored to the Hongwu and Yongle periods, it is obvious that Confucianism can not accept it.

"Business and taxation are small, but inheritance is big." Yang Tinghe sighed: "In the pre-Qin period, a hundred schools of thought contended, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of thought, and respected Confucianism alone, which does not mean that our Confucian culture must be better than all the hundred schools of thought, but because Confucianism can adapt to the times, always be able to fit the royal ruling thought, and stabilize the legitimacy and legitimacy of imperial power with the divine right of the monarch, so my famous religion has been prosperous since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the kings of all dynasties have never raised the idea of developing other doctrines."

Liang Chu was surprised: "Shoufu means that once King Yong ascends the throne, he may develop a hundred schools of thought and threaten the status of the famous religion?"

"It's just Honsuke's speculation." Yang Tinghe said with a wry smile: "Shu Hou also knows that King Yong has set up a school in the palace at the beginning of his reign in Huzhou, and at the beginning he accepted hundreds of orphaned children into school, and now he has been teaching carefully for seven years, and the children in that school are close to two thousand!" If Yongwang runs a school to teach famous knowledge from Confucianism, it will definitely cause suspicion, saying that he intends to cultivate talents to enter the official career, so as to have the absolute right to speak in the court, but no, what is taught in the palace school is miscellaneous science, what physics? Chemistry? There are also craftsmen and commerce, and the proportion of Confucianism is only 12/12, what does this mean? There are three possibilities! ”

Liang Chu said solemnly: "The lower officials are willing to hear the details."

"The first may indeed be afraid of causing suspicion, this point does not need to be repeated, the second point is to think that Yongwang is to cultivate talents for the industry under his name, after all, Yongwang has a business in Huzhou and a so-called industrial park, and the shopkeeper needs to be accountable to do business, these people can be recruited, but after all, they are more loyal to their own training, as for the industry, to put it bluntly, it is a craftsman, and the craftsman is divided into categories, and it does require a lot of professional talents, but there is no need to say more, as for this third point...... In Bensuke's opinion, it is probably that King Yong is indeed biased against my famous teaching......"

Liang Chu frowned and said: "When King Yong was in Hangzhou, he asked Yan Tianyuan to crack the anagram of Master Liu, and then he personally appeared on the stage to break the triple couplet, and finally dropped the triple couplet, can do this, if it is said that Yongwang has no real talent and real learning, it is unbelievable."

Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Poetry, Yinglian is just a little Daoer, but what Shu Hou said is also reasonable, if you are not familiar with poetry and books, you are familiar with allusions and sage meanings, even if it is a small way, it is difficult to achieve, Yongwang breaks the triplet and stays in the triptych If no one else catches the knife, his talent is indeed commendable."

"Since Lord Shoufu has many hidden worries, why do you still support King Yong's ascendancy?"

"Because Da Ming needs Ming Jun!" Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "Today's Ming Dynasty seems to be politically harmonious, the world is peaceful, but in fact, there has been a year of internal and external troubles, natural disasters emerge in an endless stream, officials abound*****, land annexation is becoming more and more serious, the financial decades have never had a time of abundance, the armament is relaxed, the garrison is corrupted, the border army is embarrassed to fight, as for the outside Tatar Department Dayan Khan unified the departments, in recent years, the border people have been miserable, these are consuming the vitality of the Ming Dynasty, and in the long run, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not escape the fateful cycle of decay and extinction, and this assistant is the first assistant for the Ming Dynasty, and would rather be an iron-fisted man with an iron fist and forge ahead, rather than sit on the throne is a mediocre king who only knows his own pleasures and doesn't care about the people's suffering. ”

When Liang Chu heard this, he was immediately in awe!

If all he thinks about is the interests of Confucian scholars, then what Yang Tinghe has in his chest is the family, the country and the society!

"Adults are worried about the country and the people, and they shoulder the weight of the community, but the manpower is limited after all, and the lower officials feel that they can add cabinet ministers to share their worries for the first assistant!"

Yang Tinghe looked at Liang Chu in surprise, Liang Chu was an old minister who entered the cabinet in the first year of Zhengde, even if he boiled it, he should have stayed up to the position of the first assistant, but he didn't, the main reason was because the cabinet had produced many talents in recent years, and Liang Chu acted decently and his ability was not outstanding, so he was unable to sit in his position for a long time.

Now the cabinet is about him and Liang Chu, once he is not liked by the superior, then it is naturally Liang Chu who will take over the position of the first assistant, at this time Liang Chu actually wants others to enter the cabinet, is he not afraid of impacting him?

"Lord Shoufu doesn't need to be careful, Xiaguan's words come from the bottom of his heart, and he has no selfish thoughts."

Yang Tinghe smiled and nodded: "Then according to Uncle Hou's opinion, who is more suitable to enter the cabinet?"

Liang Chu said without thinking: "Liang Shangshu, Yang Shangshu, and Jin Shangshu can all enter the cabinet."

Yang Tinghe thought as if knocking on the table.

The appointment system of senior officials in the Ming Dynasty is very special, and it is especially special in two words.

Tingtui!

The concept of Tingtui is very simple, the appointment of officials above the third grade is Tingtui, that is, the bigwigs of the six ministries and nine secretaries get together to discuss who will be what official, and after selecting several lists, they will be handed over to the emperor to decide, of course, the emperor can also choose one and want to appoint directly, but the directly appointed official is the central official, and there are not many who are appointed, because they can't afford to lose that person......

As for the three grades and below, it is a ministry push, that is, the six departments push it themselves, and if it is suitable, it will be appointed by the ministry, but there is an exception that can be directly appointed by the emperor without the need for court push, and it will not cause Shilin to despise the situation.

It is to appoint ministers and ministers to the ministry, the ministers are the emperor's secretaries to put it bluntly, at first the quality was low and powerful, but later in order to enhance the status of the ministers, so the ministers were given the title, so it is very common for the ministers to lead a part, plus the title of a scholar, the grade will naturally go up.

As for the official department, there is no need to say much, this position is too important, the most important power of the emperor is personnel appointment, and the official department is actually the emperor who handed over part of the personnel appointment power to the official department.

Therefore, the positions of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry can generally be pushed by the court, or directly appointed!

This is not a central purpose, but a special purpose!
