Chapter 229: Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve
Courts.
In front of the ministers, the emperor announced the promotion of Wang Wei to the bachelor of Hanlin, and specially approved the two brothers Yang Tinghe and Yang Tingyi to return to Xindu, Sichuan to visit their parents.
Wang Wei and Yang Tinghe, as the parties concerned, were both in the court, and the two of them also heard the emperor's words of high hopes.
Yang Tinghe even came out in person to receive the order.
“…… I have asked the Cabinet Department, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, etc., and others have a very high opinion of you, and I have decided to wait for you to return to the court, and promote you to the rank of Hanlin Bachelor, but before that, you must repair the "Daming Huidian", and Liu Ge Lao also recommended it to me, saying that you have a lot of credit when repairing the "Huidian......"
Yang Tinghe began to rise in the middle and late Hongzhi period, the main reason is that his merits in repairing the "Daming Huidian", many parts are completed by Yang Ting and personally, and there will always be some deviations when others revise it.
In addition to research, it is more about the understanding of the Ming Code.
His ability is also gradually affirmed by the government and the opposition, but also because of his open-mindedness, although in the early years of Jiajing he was in power, but did not make the Ming Dynasty due to the change of the succession branch and major changes, the court smoothly through the transition period in the early Jiajing period, his achievements in history are worthy of recognition.
……
……
The court meeting ended.
Many people congratulated Wang Wei in the past, Wang Wei rose twice a year, and the limelight was close to Cheng Minzheng in his heyday.
But his promotion is also a normal promotion, because of the vacancy of the Hanlin Bachelor, which should have been supplemented by a bachelor or a bachelor, this time Wang Wei only said that he was promoted to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the emperor handed over the affairs of the Hanlin Academy to him.
If there is only one Hanlin Bachelor, with Wang Wei as the Bachelor in charge, then basically he is responsible for these errands.
Wang Wei became the second only to the three cabinet members in the Ming Hanlin system.
Pressure......
Instantly made him feel a little out of breath.
Cheng Minzheng learned from the past, as an "outsider", he also made it clear to the bystanders, and he also understood that Cheng Minzheng was wronged, and he knew the stakes behind it.
So when others came to congratulate him, he took the initiative to go over and communicate with a few pavilion elders.
"Jizhi is considered to have survived." Xie Qian said in front of many people, as if he was open-mouthed, "The people in our pavilion are different from others who are officials, and they often have six or nine years of rank, and their positions do not move, let alone they can do more for the imperial court. In the future, when communicating with the Hanlin Academy, Jizhi should also give more face. ”
The people next to "hahaha......" were just joking, and many people were smiling discouragedly.
Wang Wei said respectfully: "Yu Qiao, you are smiling, and you will cooperate in the future." Most of the things I did in the East Palace were preached, and I didn't dare to go wild when I talked about things on the feast day. ”
What he meant, you who are in charge of the affairs of the court, I will not mix with you.
My sights are on lecturing the emperor and the crown prince, especially on the prince's side, so don't treat me as a competitor and suppress me.
He came up as a sign of weakness.
Tu Tu said: "At present, Jizhi is still the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, who should take the position of Zhan Shi?" ”
The question is straightforward.
Even if Xie Qian can speak well, it is not easy to answer at this time.
Zhan Shifu is responsible for the teaching of the crown prince, and theoretically should hand over Zhan Shifu to Wang Wei, but the emperor only let Wang Wei be the master of the academy, and the position of Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi may also be stepped down soon, although the affairs of Zhan Shifu are still represented by Wang Wei, but who will replace Wang Wei, or will there be anyone to replace him...... It's all a problem.
"Isn't there still a husband?" Li Dongyang reminded.
The ministers who went out of the palace together remembered that there is still a protagonist today, who is going back to his hometown for four months, and Yang Tinghe, who will be promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin when he returns.
The emperor also seemed to appreciate Yang Tinghe very much, and also mentioned the merits of repairing the "Daming Huidian", if Yang Tinghe also became a bachelor of Hanlin, he must have his errand, and the ministers will also think that the reason why the emperor did not arrange the position of Zhan Shi in Zhan Shifu is probably to wait for Yang Tinghe to come back and hand over this errand to him.
"Jiefu, Your Majesty is to fulfill your filial piety and etiquette, and the Ming Dynasty will depend on you in the future." Li Dongyang turned back to Yang Tinghe and said.
Yang Tinghe looked very humble in front of a group of elders, Shangshu and Hanlin scholars, but he just arched his hand and didn't say anything.
……
……
Yang Tinghe is going back to his hometown to save his relatives.
He didn't express any opinion on this matter in front of people, until after leaving the palace, Li Dongyang deliberately approached him and stopped him.
"Jiefu, what do you think about returning to your hometown?" Li Dongyang said.
In terms of the division of labor in the cabinet, Xie Qian was responsible for appeasing the people of the Hanlin Academy, and as for appeasing Yang Tinghe, it fell on Li Dongyang's shoulders.
Yang Tinghe said respectfully: "I can return to my hometown and province, visit the hall and be able to serve in front, and I will thank Your Majesty for your kindness in my heart, and I will live up to the emperor's grace." ”
No matter how depressed Yang Tinghe was in his heart, of course he had to say that I really wanted to go home to take care of my father and mother.
There is no way to do it, this year I am very concerned about the quality of official filial piety, Yang Tinghe has not gone back to visit his parents for many years, plus this time his younger brother Yang Tingyi also won the Jinshi, the emperor specially approved a four-month vacation to let him go back, he felt that he was pitted by someone, but he still had to be patient to express the urgency of returning to his hometown.
Li Dongyang said: "Your official position is not moving, and you are also returning to your hometown, and after you return to Beijing, you will still have a copy of the revision of the "Huidian". As for Master Hallym, he will also fight for you. ”
Now Li Dongyang is not sure about the specific intentions of the emperor, he said this to Yang Tinghe, mainly to show goodwill, to tell Yang Tinghe, you are our person, we will ensure that your career is smooth sailing.
Even if you return to your hometown for four months, it will not affect your status in the Hanlin Yuan system.
Yang Tinghe arched his hand and said: "Li Ge Lao loves and decides to do things for the imperial court." ”
……
……
Yang Tinghe does regard himself as an orthodox minister, plus he followed the rules before, usually repairing books, senate affairs, etc., he always acted according to the instructions of the cabinet, especially in the revision of the "Daming Huidian", although nominally the three cabinet members are the chief editors, but in fact, the usual book repairs are pressed on them to read and speak.
Every time I communicate with Li Dongyang, I am also very good, Li Dongyang and others show their trust and cultivation in him, and Yang Tinghe is also grateful for this.
But he still feels that he is not suitable to be a Hanlin bachelor, especially as a waiter, he jumped directly to the Hanlin bachelor, which is a bit like being used as a gunman, and before he can do anything, he was sent back to his hometown by the emperor for four months, which is not obvious...... Was he hated by the emperor?
"Brother, I just became an official, why are you leaving?"
Yang Tinghe returned to his residence, and Yang Tingyi, who was going back to his hometown with him, had packed up his belongings and came over with a carriage, and Yang Tingyi was also very depressed.
I was admitted to the Jinshi exam, and I followed my brother to eat and drink spicy food, why did you suddenly say that you wanted to go back to your hometown to visit relatives?
Or is it such a reason to serve your parents?
Yang Tinghe said: "Has the matter of the household department been dealt with?" ”
"I don't want to watch politics anymore, so I'm going to ask the court to let me go as a magistrate. Brother don't look at me from this point of view, I also wanted to take the Dingjia exam, or select Shu Jishi to enter the museum, and do things with you, brother, but it's up to anyone, Dingjia can't pass the exam, and even the way to enter the museum has been cut off, it's better to go to the local official, if the ministry directly puts a magistrate in Sichuan, I won't even go back to Beijing......"
Yang Tingyi seems to be thinking about it.
Everyone else is squeezed to stay in the capital to be a Beijing official, only Yang Tingyi wants to hurry up and put it in the place to be the magistrate.
Yang Tinghe almost wanted to scold his younger brother for having no ambitions.
As he was talking, someone approached his door, and a person who looked like a brocade guard asked, "Is it Yang Shi who is talking about the house?" Deliver a message for Father-in-law Xiao and Mr. Zhang, the two of them are about to arrive. ”
"Huh?"
Yang Tinghe frowned.
I was ordered to go back to my hometown to visit relatives, and I was also stipulated to leave quickly without delay, but what else did Xiao Jing and Zhang Zhou do here?
Xiao Jing came to pass the word for the emperor, what does Zhang Zhoulai mean?
Yang Tinghe looked into the distance, and sure enough, a carriage arrived, but Zhang Zhou and Xiao Jing had not yet meant to share a ride, so they each got out of the carriage and walked over to him.
……
……
In Yang Tinghe's small courtyard in the capital, the Yang brothers set up tables, chairs and benches, and greeted Xiao Jing and Zhang Zhou with freshly brewed tea.
Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Yang Shi and Yang Jinshi are polite, our family is here to talk to the two of you for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has specially prepared some light gifts for your brothers to return to their hometowns." ”
"Don't bother Your Majesty."
Yang Tinghe's face was very strange.
Although Xiao Jing and Zhang Zhou did not sit down, Yang Tinghe felt that entertaining Zhongguan and Jinyu in his own mansion made him very cheap.
No matter how much Xiao Jing and Zhang Zhou are favored in front of the emperor, it seems that they should have nothing to do with him Yang someone.
Yang Tingyi smiled and said, "Gonggong Xiao, you are too polite, thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of our brother." ”
Compared with Yang Tinghe's cautiousness, Yang Tingyi seemed very "philistine", and he almost wrote the words "I admire Father-in-law Xiao" on his face.
Xiao Jing was also curious.
Is this a jinshi? Why does it look like a businessman in the market?
Only Zhang Zhou, who was on the side, was very clear about the creation of the Yang family brothers.
Needless to say, Yang Tinghe is a great hero of the Ming Dynasty, an uncrowned prime minister, and a representative of the future Ming Dynasty, no matter whether he has a bad relationship with Emperor Jiajing, and what the later reputation is, even if he is a powerful minister, he cannot deny his merits to the Ming Dynasty.
As for Yang Tingyi...... It's just a villain.
In history, Yang Tingyi relied on his brother's support, Liu Jin got the power to be a eunuch, and later he was even more eye-to-eye with Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, even if he was promoted to the military department in the last years of Zhengde, he was only impeached by someone who said that he was corrupt and took bribes, and Zhu Houxi, who had just ascended the throne at that time, had checked, it should be true, because of Yang Tinghe's monstrous power at that time, he just let Yang Tingyi return to his hometown, and didn't care much.
Although the brothers are both officials, they have two styles of doing things.
Yang Tinghe asked: "Gonggong Xiao, in addition to asking you to send some things, does Your Majesty have an explanation?" ”
Yang Tinghe saw that if he just sent some condolences, why did he come to the factory in person? Don't look down on Zhang Zhou, but now that Zhang Zhou has a high status in the palace, Zhang Zhou will not easily come to visit him.
Others wanted to talk to Zhang Zhou but couldn't, but he wanted to hide from Zhang Zhouyuan.
Xiao Jing said: "Can you talk to Yang Shi alone?" ”
"This ......" Yang Tinghe looked at Yang Tingyi.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Brother Yang, let's go out to talk?" ”
"Okay, okay." Yang Tingyi saw that Zhang Zhou was so polite, and he was naturally overjoyed.
lest you stammer yourself.
When Zhang walked away.
Xiao Jingcai said: "Yang Shi said, Your Majesty is also afraid that you will be resentful, and I think that this is Your Majesty's intention to target you, but in fact, it is not. His Majesty listened to the advice of others and learned that Lingtang's body was ...... No, I hope you can go back and be in front of the couch sooner. ”
"What?" Yang Tinghe became nervous when he heard it, "Mother ......"
"Don't worry, what the specific illness is, our family doesn't know, and Your Majesty didn't send someone to your hometown to investigate, after all, ...... It's too far away......"
Yang Tinghe frowned when he heard this.
No one has ever seen it, and they actually say that my mother is seriously ill?
If there is really any relevant news, shouldn't I be notified of this son first?
Xiao Jing said: "You go back to visit, if there is really something, you can also do your filial piety, good for the reputation of the official, if you have nothing to do, you should go back for a walk, after you come back, the position of Hanlin Bachelor will be reserved for you, and Yang Shi said that you really shouldn't mind because of this." ”
"Yes."
Yang Tinghe was also a little confused.
He actually couldn't understand the emperor's intention of sending Xiao Jinglai.
The emperor suppressed and said that he was suppressed, and he also knew that he was a member of Liu Jian's faction, and the emperor appreciated that Wang Wei wanted to promote Wang Wei, and he couldn't have an opinion, who let Wang Wei already be a bachelor, and he was just a waiter?
But after the suppression was over, Xiao Jing was sent to say, all this is for your good.
Between the words, the emperor admired him very much, and there was a sense of restraint, which made him unable to understand.
Could this be regarded as beating a stick first and then giving a sweet date to eat, or calling for desire to be suppressed first, deliberately giving him a dismount so that he knows which side to stand in?
"Father-in-law Xiao, dare to ask, what is the condition of my mother?"
Yang Tinghe is a filial son in the end, he hasn't seen his mother for many years, and he is also a little nervous knowing that his mother may be ill.
Xiao Jing smiled and shook his head, meaning that he didn't know.
"Then Father-in-law Xiao, can you ask, who told my mother that she was sick?" Yang Tinghe is still very serious.
Now that he is going back to his hometown, he doesn't want to be kept in the dark.
Xiao Jing deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Let's put it bluntly, Ling Tang's illness is not someone who has seen the specific situation and told him, but Mr. Zhang...... It was mentioned to His Majesty by Zhang Jinshi, who had just been written for Hanlin, that he learned about the situation by calculating the heavenly opportunity, and he was afraid that the old man would not be able to see you in a hurry, so he wanted the two of you brothers to go back together......"
"What?"
Yang Tinghe thought that the magistrate had reported the incident, and the emperor kindly asked him to return to his hometown to visit his relatives.
But when I knew that this was just something that Zhang Zhou mentioned to the emperor...... In addition to the surprise in his heart, there was also a sense of anger.
What about playing people?
You say my mother is sick, my mother is sick? Still pinching your fingers to figure it out?
Why don't you go to heaven?
What's more, the emperor asked my brother and I to go back to my hometown to visit relatives because of this bastard's unreliable proverb?
Does the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty still have Wang Fa and Tianli?
Xiao Jing was surprised: "Yang Shi didn't believe it?" Our family actually heard this, but they were quite worried about Yang Shijiao, if Yang Shijiao could go back to visit his mother when he was seriously ill, what kind of filial piety reputation this is, not only can you be loyal and filial piety, but also can make Your Majesty feel relieved, our family really can't think of anything wrong with this. ”
Yang Tinghe almost said angrily: "Father-in-law Xiao, if the mother's illness is indeed true, it is understandable to say so, but ......"
He didn't even know how to describe it.
Is the emperor so biased in listening and believing?
What did Zhang Zhou say, and what did he believe?
"Huh." Xiao Jing laughed, with some indifference, "That is to say, Yang Shi still doesn't believe it." But Yang Shi said that you have to think, Mr. Zhang speculated a lot of things, and each one was fulfilled one by one, do you want to say that he just wanted you to go back to support your parents, and deliberately said a non-existent thing to toss you back and forth? Is serving his parents a good thing or a bad thing for Yang Shishu? ”
Yang Tinghe pinned his head to the side.
He couldn't help but didn't say anything, he knew in his heart what Zhang Zhou's kid was for.
Don't think that the kid has nothing to do with it, so it's impossible to talk nonsense.
Wang Jizhi is his teacher, what can't he do in order to help his teacher become a bachelor of Hanlin?
Xiao Jing sighed: "If Yang Shi doesn't appreciate it, it's just a waste of His Majesty's kindness." ”
"I don't doubt Your Majesty's intentions." Yang Tinghe also hurriedly defended.
Suspect that the emperor is cheating on his own courtiers?
In the eyes of these orthodox ministers, Emperor Hongzhi can be regarded as a benevolent monarch no matter what he says, and he should not deliberately pit his courtiers, so it can only be explained that the emperor was deceived by others.
In order to achieve his ulterior motives, Zhang Zhou, this kid, deliberately deceived the emperor and drove me back to Sichuan, so that I would not compete with Wang Jizhi for the position of Hanlin Bachelor...... Originally, I thought that this kid had done something for the benefit of the country and the people, even if he was close to him, it was good, but now it seems to be ......
He has a bad stomach and is very wicked.
Xiao Jing said: "It's good not to doubt it, then you shouldn't doubt Mr. Zhang, he has no grievances with you, why bother you?" A word of caution, you have to rush back by late April, otherwise you ...... Regret! Let's go! ”
Xiao Jing also has a temper.
You Yang Tinghe also take yourself too seriously, right?
You are a servant, even if you really compete with Wang Wei, the emperor doesn't want to use you, so he still needs to discuss with you?
It's not your turn to rank seniority!
If Zhang Zhou wanted to recommend his own master, he would have recommended it a long time ago, and we, the celebrants, knew very well that Zhang Zhou didn't even say a word in this matter, as for you going back to your hometown.
People are kind-hearted, but you don't appreciate it.
It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs.
……
……
Send Zhang Zhou and Xiao Jing away.
Yang Tinghe was so angry that he almost wanted to smash the door frame with his fist.
Yang Tingyi smiled indifferently and said, "Zhang Bingkuan, as the same year, has won the trust of His Majesty, he admires his brother very much, and he wants to ask you for advice." ”
"Do you believe it?" Yang Tinghe glared at his younger brother angrily, "Stay away from him in the future." This kind of closeness, whoever provokes it, will not tolerate the world. Ignore your own discussion? ”
"Uh......"
Yang Tingyi was scolded so much that she was confused.
I'm still wondering in my heart, what's wrong with my brother?
The Holy One sent someone to send you condolences, that's the attitude? You deserve to not survive in the Hanlin Academy for many years!
