Chapter 499: The Best of Both Worlds
This so-called living charter is too lethal.
simply gave Zhu Di a reason that he couldn't refuse.
It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
These hundred officials can think of it with their buttocks, Your Majesty must be tempted, and the benefits to the palace are too great.
What's more, there is a hidden benefit to this.
That is the long history of the feudal kingdom, and if it is a movement with the ministers of the imperial court.
This undoubtedly increased the centripetal force of the vassal state to the imperial court.
Come to think of it, the vassal kingdom itself has no talents, and the vassal kings of this generation are fine, so in the next generation, the ministers who are really born on the right path, the ghosts are willing to go to the vassal kingdom as officials!
But now that there is such a path, it means that many Hanlin have to enter the feudal kingdom, and the feudal kingdom also has a certain talent reserve.
After entering the vassal state, these people have to serve the vassal state, but on the other hand, they have the opportunity to enter the center, so it is inevitable that they need to show their ability and loyalty in front of the court while taking into account the interests of the vassal state.
In this way, you will have the opportunity to enter the court and reach the pinnacle of life.
This kind of movement of high-level ministers is not only a training for ministers, but in a certain sense, it also has great benefits for the imperial court and the vassal state.
In the court, it is difficult to see the clues of whether a minister is virtuous or not, after all, the court is a relatively stable structure, and it is difficult for a person to show that he has the ability to make decisions.
It's like, if there is no change in the civil fort, I'm afraid that no one will be able to realize how powerful a person like Yu Qian is.
After all, on weekdays, this person may be on duty every day, like many ordinary ministers, and at most he is a little stubborn.
The reason why the court will rise to talk about Qing is also because of this, after all, in a peaceful world, it is difficult to show one's ability, so who is more powerful can only rely on his mouth, and who is more sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, who has the possibility of rising.
But the vassal kingdoms are different, they are in a more sinister environment, and if they talk clearly, something big will happen. Just like Yang Shiqi, if he was replaced by a mediocre person, how could this new continent be possible today?
What's more, even those who advocate clean talk, once they arrive in an overseas domain, they will slowly begin to pay attention to reality under internal and external pressure.
Not to mention, the system of almost all feudal states is maintained by trade, because after all, the vassal states cannot be as self-sufficient as the Ming Dynasty in the past, and the trade lines are their lifeline to a certain extent, and the ministers who grow up in this environment are bound to be merchant-oriented.
They have even been completely separated from the gentry within the Ming Dynasty, and it is no longer possible to represent the interests of the gentry.
All of the above, for Zhu Di, are the best candidates for prime minister or Wenyuan Pavilion scholar.
But the officials ...... But there is a feeling of a dog in the day.
After all, for them, isn't the purpose of their imperial examination just the title of the gold list, the carp jumping over the dragon gate?
The dragon gate jumped, and it really went to the sea and went to Java.
But once he refuses to go to the sea, he will cut off the possibility of his career, which is simply a one-hit kill for hundreds of officials.
At least now, the faces of many Hanlin and Imperial Historians in the hall are already very ugly.
Even if it's not them, it's someone who is already in a high position, and his face is not much better.
After all...... They have protégés and former officials, which also cuts off the possibility of them cultivating successors, unless they send people to the vassal kingdom by hand.
Zhu Di was obviously interested, he got up and began to pace back and forth energetically.
In this quiet hall, the hearts of the hundred officials also bulged with the footsteps of His Majesty.
Zhang Anshi glanced at his brother-in-law with a kind smile on his face.
And the crown prince Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips and showed silence.
If Zhu Gaochi in the past obviously did not agree with such an approach, it would be very lethal to the minister.
But Zhu Gaochi has the experience of the model camp and Henan, and it seems that he also knows that today's soil has changed with the new policy.
And the appearance of Yang Shiqi made him realize that this kind of person is not only familiar with the scriptures and history, but also can handle practical affairs with ease, has the ability to take charge of himself, and is decisive and resolute, which is indeed comparable to ordinary people, even if such a person enters the cabinet, his ability is more than enough.
Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh: "Emperor Taizu Gao and I ...... It's always hardworking......"
He sighed with emotion...... It made the hearts of hundreds of officials sink to the bottom.
Zhu Di said: "The prince and the emperor and grandson are also very different from ordinary people. ”
The people in the hall are all human spirits, and when it comes to this, His Majesty's meaning has obviously been revealed.
Zhu Di continued: "But manpower has its limits after all, the Son of Heaven wants to deal with the affairs of the world, without making mistakes, I am the Son of Heaven, how can I not know, it is really difficult to ascend to the sky." ”
He paced a few more steps, and then continued: "There must be a minister like Yang Shiqi in the DPRK and China, who can assist the Son of Heaven and govern the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven, so that he can try his best to reduce negligence and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. If my Daming Temple is full of people like Yang Qing, then the world can be worry-free. ”
In fact, Zhu Di's meaning is very clear.
He and Emperor Taizu Gao, even including the crown prince, can be diligent in government.
Especially Emperor Taizu Gao, that is simply a model worker. People can rest for only a few hours a day and deal with national affairs from morning to night every day.
But Zhu Di also understands that his descendants will definitely not be able to do this, and they need a large number of virtuous ministers to assist Zuo.
And these capable people can't help but worry.
After all, the tree has deep roots, and it is inevitable to be in cahoots with others.
The fact is also the same, in the end of the Ming Dynasty, how many scholars, they were born into the gentry, step by step to the high position, in fact...... But it will never be able to get rid of the implication related to people's interests.
It's like a person who was born in a gentry family, and since he started studying, there were many so-called teachers, classmates, and classmates, and after the imperial examination, there were a large number of colleagues and peers and former officials, and when he finally took over the power of the world, can you ignore the interests of these people?
But once you choose to protect their interests everywhere, then it will inevitably conflict with the imperial power. So, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, this situation reached the point where it was impossible to laugh or cry.
The ministers in high positions, because they could not ignore the interests of themselves or their protégés, relatives and friends, still stubbornly protected the gentry and imposed more taxes on the people. The people rose up one after another, and in order to quell the rebellion, they needed more money, which was not imposed on the gentry, but continued to be imposed on those who had not yet rebelled.
The final outcome is actually doomed.
This time, Zhang Anshi can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to hundreds of officials.
If before, it was only through the New Deal to destroy their soil, but now, it can be regarded as a direct harm.
But he heard Zhu Di groan: "Yang Qing can be in charge alone, such a feudal official, it is rare, let him enter the court, enter the Wenyuan Pavilion and listen to it." ”
Don't wait for Yang Shiqi to thank you.
Zhang Anshi, who was originally triumphant, was a little confused.
Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Wrong, wrong...... What does it mean...... Yang Gong is a living charter, but Xinzhou can't do without him for the time being, the minister just used him as an example, this Yang Gong ...... Xinzhou is afraid that it will be used for a few more years...... Your Majesty......"
Zhang Anshi wanted to cry. Such a talent, a person with a baby bump, Your Majesty, just take a look, why do you still take advantage of others?
Zhu Di: "......"
Zhang Anshi hurriedly continued: "What does the minister mean...... Chan means ......"
Obviously, it is not a wise move to rob the emperor of people.
At this time, Yang Shiqi said: "Your Majesty, the minister is still young, and he still needs to continue to sharpen in Xinzhou, and it is really the minister's wish to serve the court." It's just that...... I beg Your Majesty not to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, and to allow the ministers to continue to sharpen themselves in Xinzhou for some time. ”
He said it appropriately.
Finally broke this embarrassment.
Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi, and was probably scolding in his heart, enter your mother, you rushed to offer treasures, but the result was just for me to take a look and enjoy it, right?
Scolding in his heart, Zhu Di bowed his head to Yang Shiqi gently, and said: "What Yang Qing said can be described as old-fashioned, it is such a truth, and if this is the case, it will be played." It is true that the minister's years of experience overseas must be ten or five or six to twenty years, otherwise he will not be able to cope with the heavy workload of the temple. ”
Baiguan: "......"
The ministers are all human spirits, and the meaning of human spirits is that no matter what restrictions are set by the imperial court, they can always find ways to find shortcuts.
Originally, everyone was still lamenting in their hearts, it was terrible, and they might really have to go to the sea in the future.
But it doesn't matter, there may not be no shortcuts, it's a big deal to go to sea for two or three years, boil up your qualifications, and then go back to the DPRK.
As a result, Yang Shiqi actually declined Zhu Di's conquest.
Zhu Di said directly, the overseas seniority must be more than ten to twenty years. It's really over now, more than ten or twenty years, where is this qualification, this son was born to the sea, and he will have grandchildren when he comes back.
Zhang Anshi's spirit was lifted, and he immediately said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, it is precisely this reason, if the time is too short, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results, and the charter should be formulated, and it must be fifteen years." In this case, it will be easier for the feudal states to use it. Otherwise, it won't take a few years, and the people will leave, and on the side of the feudal kingdom, I am afraid that the opinions are not small, especially His Royal Highness King Zhao and His Royal Highness King Han, they are ...... in a hurry."
Zhu Di's face is like an ancient well, and he uses King Zhao and King Han as shields, but Zhu Di did not expect it.
Zhu Di groaned: "It's just ...... Now the imperial court really needs such a minister to enter the court, open up the atmosphere, and teach me, and then weigh one or two, this Yang Shiqi, I will not take advantage of people, or choose a member of the other vassal states to enter the court. ”
This is a big thing, even Zhu Di can't do it with a pat on his head.
Otherwise, the opposition will be too great.
And choose one person to enter the court first, estimate this person's ability, and use one, on the one hand, you can block the mouths of people all over the world, and Zhu Di can also use this to observe one or two, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
