"Poetry and clouds, as a king, stop at benevolence, as a minister, stop at respect, as a son of man, stop at filial piety, be a father, stop at kindness, communicate with the people, stop at the letter, the emperor's virtue is spread in the four seas, then the four seas are safe, Your Majesty is broad-minded, want to open peace for the world, test students with this question, students are very fortunate for the people, long live my emperor." Yang Shen replied eloquently, and it didn't take long for an article to come out, looking for chapters and sentences, quoting scriptures, and patting sycophants.

Who said that Yang Shen didn't know how to figure out the emperor's heart, and he couldn't be liked by the emperor, but I was afraid that there was another unknown reason!

Yang Shen's song, Linjiang Xian, has been sung so far, popular, in terms of his state of mind at the time, he did depict all his own life vividly, generous and tragic, reading only feel resounding, endless aftertaste, adding thousands of emotions.

Zhu Houzhao nodded frequently, pleasing to the eye, Yang Shenzhi's talent is not only in his literary talent, but he can learn and apply it and see other people's minds clearly, but he is such a person, he was disliked by the emperor in the Jiajing Dynasty, and he was frequently excluded and suppressed, and he was depressed, isn't it strange?

In fact, this question is a trap question, there is no standard answer, only the answer that conforms to the mind of the questioner is the most accurate.

The heart of the Son of Heaven, if Yang Shen uses ordinary answers to measure the answer, it is naturally wrong, so you must have a targeted understanding of the questioner's thoughts, identity, deeds, and words in order to be regarded as the correct answer.

"Yang Shen, I gave you a question, but I didn't ask you to sing praises and figure out my intentions." Zhu Houzhao deliberately said unpleasantly.

Yang Shen was not afraid at all, and bowed and saluted; "Your Majesty, the student just answered the truth."

That person dared to say that he didn't like to listen to good words, Zhu Houzhao liked it very much, this Yang Shen is neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, which makes people feel comfortable when they see it, and sycophants have also become a fact, not like Liu Jin's flattery, at first glance, it is a traitor's face.

"The son of Scholar Yang, sure enough, the tongue fights the lotus, this level, you have passed, I have words first, if you are really talented, I will give you an official body, now, you have passed, I will not break my word, Yang Shen listens to the order."

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth, Yang Shen was stunned, he really wanted to make him an official, and he was also sealed by the Son of Heaven Chrysostom, this, this official came too easily.

Yang Shen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down; "Long live my emperor."

Until Yang Shen went out of the palace gate, he still looked unbelievable, this is an official, and the experience of the General Administration Department of the Seven Products is the beginning, this position is not high, but it is very important, the emperor's mind is really elusive, you see what the General Administration Department is mainly responsible for.

Matters that are subject to internal and external chapters and refuting, and all the Quartet's complaints, grievances, or lawsuits against lawlessness and other matters are reported to be heard.

It can also be seen that Zhu Houzhao attaches great importance to Yang Shen, this is the best yamen for tempering talents, and the promotion is also the fastest yamen.

Zhu Houzhao did not go through the cabinet, and once again directly issued a decree, and directly appointed the son of a scholar Yang as an official of the imperial court, or the experience of the General Administration, and after the holy decree was issued, the three cabinet elders glanced at each other, and they all saw a touch of helplessness in each other's eyes.

It's not the first time that the emperor has done this, but fortunately, this time the matter has been done to make them more at ease, Yang Tinghe's son, they are still more at ease, and the position experienced by the General Administration Department can also be regarded as done, now that the wood is in the boat, what else can be done, not to mention that Yang Tinghe is still Liu Jian's successor.

However, they still feel that His Majesty's character of doing whatever he wants is very bad, and such a pat on the head and think of a thinking pattern that is one is a play, which makes them tired of dealing with it and breaks their hearts.

Xie Qian was depressed and bottomless; "Your Majesty, what are you going to do by making the center of the cabinet useless like this?"

Liu Jian approved the document again and again, and said it again; "Yu Qiao, Your Majesty has your own ideas, you and I can assist the council, don't talk about the monarch's affairs, as the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, the ministers are all watching us, if we let others listen to it, I am afraid that it will attract criticism again, and this matter is stopped, don't say anything more."

He understood Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, young man, naturally there is a play, some time ago, he was still trying to make a big move for Qin Tianjian's nonsense, and he was finally appeased by them, today, he came to such a show again, and it was clear that he was fighting with them, isn't this the impetuousness of young people, forget it, the Son of Heaven is still young, in his early years, Emperor Hongzhi was not like this, and later it was not changed, and he was praised by others.

Xie Qian also understood this truth, so he compromised.

Li Dongyang took the tea, tasted it carefully, smashed the fragrant tea in his mouth, and tasted it back; "There are all kinds of tea, there are many kinds of water, only good tea, good water taste is beautiful, good tea, good tea."

Xie Qian and Liu Jian looked at him, this Li Binzhi is resourceful, is there a high argument again, let's listen to what he has to say first.

Liu Jian smiled; "Binzhi, you seem to have some opinions, why don't you tell me and Yu Qiao to go into detail."

Li Dongyang smiled and pointed to the contents of the cup and said; "Just like this fragrant leaf, although good water can cook fragrant tea, but there is no fragrant tea, good water may be fragrant, the same reason, Yang Shen since we all know that this person is talented, now His Majesty is talented, Your Majesty is like this teacup, I am like this cup of tea, just right, too much will overflow, overflowing, Yang Shen is the flavor of the tea, that is, suitable for you and me, but also in line with the taste of the Son of Heaven, the old man feels that there is nothing bad about this, but the old man feels that there is no such thing as a disappointment, but the old man feels that he has disappointed His Majesty's expectations, and he is very ashamed."

Liu Jian savored it, took the tea in front of him, tasted the tea, smashed his mouth, and smiled with a little meaning; "Good tea, good tea."

He understood the truth, what Li Dongyang said was reasonable, isn't this a kind of favor for His Majesty's reckless actions some time ago, who doesn't know that Yang Shen is valued by them, so it seems that His Majesty is not only not vindictive, but also wants to ease the relationship with them, so he made the decree.

Xie Qian thought about it, and after listening to Li Dongyang's words, he realized that he was afraid that he had misunderstood His Majesty again, his old face was a little unbearable, and he blushed slightly, his character was like this, he couldn't adapt to Zhu Houzhao's character for a while, and it was still Li Dongyang, an old guy, who was wise.

Li Dongyang seems to be the head of the analysis, if he knew that Zhu Houzhao was just because of his pure bad taste for Yang Tinghe, in order to take revenge on that old guy, I don't know, Li Dongyang would still take Zhu Houzhao so well.

And, Yang Shen, who was still in a daze when he got home, sat in his father's study, and after he got off duty, Yang Tinghe, who had come back a long time ago, saw him so unruly, and shouted; "Have you forgotten all your father's teachings? Why do you trespass into your father's study without knowing how to be polite? Not yet. ”

Yang Shen remembered that he had returned home, looked at his father with a strange face, got up with a smile, and said; "It's the child who is in a mood for a while, and he loses his manners, hoping that his father will atone for his sins."

Yang Tinghe didn't know that his son had already obtained a seventh-rank official body after entering the palace, after all, the holy decree was issued later, and the decree after the cabinet's deliberation was still on the way, so he didn't know.

"You have a hard time entering the palace this time, how about playing with Your Majesty?" Yang Tinghe didn't delve into it, and asked lightly.

Looking at the demeanor between his son's eyebrows, there seemed to be nothing wrong, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and deep relief.

Yang Shen was rare in front of his father for a while, so he tidied up his clothes and crowns, learned the attitude of the lower officials to see the upper officials, and bowed his hands and saluted; "Xiaguan Tongzheng has experienced Yang Shen and met Yang University."

Yang Tinghe didn't react for a while, faintly, well, and then looked at his son in amazement.

"What did you just say?" He was amazed.

Yang Shen explained with a smug smile; "Father, don't be surprised, the child entered the palace today, and His Majesty gave the official body to the child, and entered the political department to experience the seven grades of the official."

"What do you say? The experience of the General Administration Department is still the seventh product! Yang Tinghe was dumbfounded, and his calm attitude in the past was forgotten, and the expression on his face was unpredictable.

Yang Shen wondered; "Father, is there something wrong?" He didn't know what his father was worried about, which was a great thing, why did his father have this attitude.

Yang Tinghe thought that when he was in the East Palace in his early years, he offended His Majesty, who was still the prince, and now His Majesty wants to take revenge on the old man? But what a crime I have!

It's not a loss to Yang Tinghe, he really guessed correctly, Zhu Houzhao is really revenge, but it's not as ruthless as he thought, just angry, by the way, disgusting and disgusting Lao Yang, as for the guilt, there is no blame, and it is true that he wants to win him over when the time comes.

"Father don't have to be suspicious, presumably the holy decree will come later, and my father is still ready to take it." Yang Shen grinned.

The cabinet proposed, the six departments decreed, the holy decree took effect immediately, the next day, Yang Tinghe entered the court, all the way is the voice of congratulations, congratulations to his son for getting the favor of the saint, Jane pulled into the court, everyone envied ah, he Lao Tzu is a popular person in the cabinet, and his son has His Majesty's holy grace to mention, what a glory this is.

Although Yang Tinghe was happy on his face, he still felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say why, so he had to enter the palace in person to meet His Majesty and test it.

I have to say that Zhu Houzhao played very well with this hand, which was a crooked fight, which not only eased the tension with the courtiers, but also won the heart of Yang Tinghe, an important courtier.

When the news of Yang Tinghe entering the palace to invite Liang came, Zhu Houzhao had been waiting for a long time, and there was no need to discuss politics today, so he was not in the palace, but deliberately walked in the palace garden, admired the flowers, heard the words, smiled and instructed Liu Jin; "Please Yang Qing's family to the Imperial Garden, and I will arrive later."

Generally speaking, the Imperial Garden is not allowed to be entered by foreign ministers, and those who have the honor are generally the auxiliary ministers who have won the Holy Grace, such as the three elders, and he Yang Tinghe is still one step behind.

"The slave obeys."

When he learned that His Majesty saw him in the Imperial Garden, the little doubt in his heart was even worse, the Imperial Garden was not something he was lucky enough to enter, and all the people who came in and out were palace maids and concubines, he was a foreign minister, and he went to see the driver alone, but he was also incompatible with the etiquette, after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked Liu Jin tentatively; "Gonggong Liu, how is Your Majesty feeling recently? Can you tell us, I am very grateful. ”

Although Yang Tinghe didn't like Liu Jin's flattery, he didn't want to offend this eunuch.

Liu Jin covered his mouth and smiled; "Lord Yang, the emperor has been in a good mood recently, he has eaten well and slept well, has Lord Yang not seen the emperor come out for a walk?"

Yang Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief and thanked: "Thank you father-in-law for your advice." ”
