Chapter 19: Li Dongyang enters the cabinet
"The emperor has a decree."
When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly lowered their bodies with their hands on the ground and listened to the holy decree.
The eunuch on duty cleared his throat and said:
"Wan'an will only slander and slander, and he will welcome him, but he has no talent for scholars, and he has no virtue for scholars, so he will return to his hometown immediately for the elderly, without delay, and he will do this!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Wan An was even more paralyzed on the ground, looking sluggish, panicked, unwilling, but more puzzled.
Why?
This is obviously a good thing, how can a man not like women, not to mention, the emperor is not as old as a weak crown, how can this be, how is it possible?
He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have a chance to figure it out.
"Lord Wan, still don't follow the order?"
"Minister, minister," Wan An's lips closed, and after a long pause, he said unwillingly: "I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor......"
"The emperor doesn't want to see you!" The eunuch snorted and said, "The emperor's dictation is clear and clear, there must be no delay, is Lord Wan going to resist the decree?" ”
"Minister... Can't. Wan An hurriedly said, "There must be a misunderstanding in this, and I ask my father-in-law to be accommodating and let the official ......."
"It's not a little accommodating." The eunuch interrupted unceremoniously, not giving the scholar any face, "Lord Wan, please go back quickly to pack up your belongings and return to your hometown as soon as possible, otherwise...... We're going to get things done. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is sincere......!" Wan An looked up to the sky and shouted, his face full of grief and indignation.
He thought that he would be 'liquidated' by the new emperor, but he never imagined that he would leave the political arena in such a way.
Ironically, he started by slapping horses, and in the end, he ended up slapping horses.
The ups and downs of life are too fast, Wan An can't bear it at all, and even, before the eunuch speaks, he thinks that he is going to be promoted.
In such a situation, where can he bear it?
Immediately, his eyes went dark, and he fainted on the spot.
Xu is Wan'an's popularity is too poor, and maybe it is because he provoked the anger of the saint, so many people were present, but no one helped him, in the end, the eunuch who stood on duty stepped forward and pinched others, which made Wan'an sober.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, please bring a message to the emperor, Wan'an is willing to obey his will, but I want to see him before leaving, it's troublesome." Wan An covered with his big sleeves and handed over a silver ticket without a trace.
Where did the eunuch dare to accept this money, all the people present were human spirits, so many people looked at it with their eyes, if this money was lost, then his eunuch career would be over.
He's only thirty years old, and he's still alive.
As if he had been electrocuted, the eunuch hurriedly jumped back a big step, and the silver ticket with a denomination of 1,000 taels was so lonely and exposed to the air.
Wan An was powerless to hold it, and looked at it with a face like ashes.
It took him a long time before he was lonely and took it back.
The colleagues around him all showed disdain, and they didn't even bother to hide it.
Wan An laughed miserably, and laughed at himself: "Time, life, I have today, I am all to blame, no wonder others ......"
As soon as the words changed, the miserable laughter turned cold: "But where are you nobler than me?" The difference is that you are both a bitch and a memorial arch, Lao Tzu is a real villain, and you are hypocrites......"
"Presumptuous!" Someone was annoyed and angry, and scolded back: "You are unbearable, are we just like you?" ”
Then, someone echoed, Yin Yang said: "If you are dirty, you will naturally see that nothing is clean." ”
"Father-in-law, since the emperor's will is 'no delay', why waste time listening to him?"
The eunuch was still frightened by Fang Cai's bribe, and when he heard this, he made up his mind, and at the moment, he put on a businesslike face:
"Lord Wan, the emperor's will is clear, if you shirk again, our family is really welcome."
Wan An was silent for a moment, and said respectfully: "The ministers are grateful." ”
Kowtowed, he got up lonely and left dejected......
After Wan An left, the hundred officials kneeling at the palace gate found a reason and returned to the yamen.
Things seem to be clear, this time the horse's fart is slapped on the horse's leg, and it is difficult to kneel down and be disgusting, they will not be stubborn anymore.
Zhu Youzhu was still very interesting, and according to the usual practice, he gave Wan'an the benefits he deserved, and did not treat him harshly because of personal anger.
After this incident, the ministers also settled down, and at the court meeting, the anger was no longer so strong, and the tone of Chen Zheng was much more respectful.
Zhu Youzhu also realized that his previous worries were redundant and strengthened his confidence.
At the same time, he came up with the idea of promoting talents.
Li Dongyang bore the brunt of the problem, whether it was from personal feelings or from talent, Li Dongyang was too condescending to be a lecturer......
~
"Mr. Li, I heard that you have joined the cabinet before, right?"
"Uh... Be. Li Dongyang said, "Actually, it can't be said to be a member, but I have been an assistant to Yongqinghou, and I haven't been doing it for long." ”
"...... Marquis Yongqing" Zhu Youzhu groaned and said with a smile: "Marquis Yongqing is an important minister of the Three Dynasties, and Mr. is his assistant, if you want to come, you will also gain a lot, right?" ”
"Yongqinghou has excellent political talents, and with the talent of Zaifu, Weichen has indeed benefited a lot." Li Dongyang said respectfully, his heart and liver pounding.
The emperor's meaning is too obvious, how can he not be excited.
Sure enough, Zhu Youzhu did not disappoint him, and said:
"I have been on the throne for less than a year, and I am still a little rusty in government affairs, and I need people to share my worries and solve problems.
After a pause, "Mr. has the talent of a scholar and the virtue of a scholar, can you join the cabinet?" ”
"The minister......" Li Dongyang's face turned red, and he immediately bowed down, "The minister is willing, but it's just ......"
He added in a whisper: "In this way, I'm afraid some people will feel that it is unfair!" ”
Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "That gentleman might as well speak with strength and gag them with action!" ”
"Yes, Wechen obeys." Li Dongyang said respectfully, "The ministers must do their best to live up to the emperor's grace." ”
"Get up, get up quickly," Zhu Youzhu helped him up with a smile and said, "Mr. often goes back and forth to the Hanlin Academy, can you be recommended by talents?" ”
After talking to the queen mother, he vaguely understood that he would most likely not be able to be the prince again, and even so, he would not have to be tied.
The new emperor succeeded to the throne and promoted talents, which was natural and necessary.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it's not just talking, otherwise, this word will not be handed down.
Li Dongyang arched his hand and said: "The minister is not good at interacting, and most of the colleagues in Hanlin are not familiar with him, if you really want to recommend it......
He observed the emperor's expression, saw that he listened carefully, and understood that it was not a temptation, so he said:
"As far as the minister knows, Xie Qian, the champion of Chenghua for 11 years, and Wang Hua, the champion of Chenghua for 17 years, all have real talent and learning, and they are rare talents, and the minister thinks ...... The emperor can focus on training. ”
Zhu Youzhu nodded slightly and asked, "Do you know anything about them?" ”
"The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the ministers and them only talk about learning on weekdays, and they don't know much." Li Dongyang said.
The emperor is kind-hearted and loves him even more, but this is not his overstepping capital.
How to cultivate, what position to arrange, this is not what he should say, the emperor wants him to recommend, he just promotes, and it is really not appropriate for him to make irresponsible remarks.
Zhu Youzhu chuckled and shook his head: "I and Aiqing are heart-to-heart, why is Aiqing so cautious?" ”
"The emperor forgives the sins." Li Dongyang saluted, and then said: "It's not a minister's secret, it's really ...... In terms of looking at people's eyes, how can Weichen compare with the emperor, the emperor only needs to come to the Hanlin Academy, and he will be able to see several times more thoroughly than Weichen. ”
After a pause, "The Hanlin Academy, which is the land of the Ming Dynasty, has a large number of capable people, the ministers are not good at communication, and there are not many familiar people, since the emperor wants to promote talents for the country, it is necessary to come to the Hanlin Academy in person." ”
"Hmm... Aiqing has a point. Zhu Youzhu nodded slowly, and then said with a smile: "Aiqing's speech is really like a spring breeze, it is comfortable to listen to, but it is not empty talk." ”
"The emperor praised falsely, and the ministers were terrified." Li Dongyang hurriedly humbled himself.
Zhu Youzhu smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, it's not beautiful if you're too modest." ”
After a little hesitation, he said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Hanlin Academy, as for you, sir...... Report to the Cabinet tomorrow, and I will inform the Cabinet later, and I will give you another edict. ”
"Thank you, Emperor Longen."
Li Dongyang said goodbye.
"Okay, okay," Zhu Youjiao said with a smile, "Let's go home first, celebrate the happy event with your family, and the will will come in the afternoon." ”
"Hey."
The emperor was so sympathetic, Li Dongyang was inexplicably moved, "The minister retired." ”
"Hmm...."
~
The next day, Li Dongyang successfully entered the cabinet.
This time, none of the officials objected.
First, the last incident angered the new emperor, and they did not dare, nor did they want to touch the mold again; Second, Li Dongyang was the teacher of the new emperor when he was the crown prince, and after ascending the throne, he promoted the teacher, which is human nature, reasonable, and the embodiment of human feelings.
There is no need for them to object.
At the end of the early dynasty, Zhu Youzhu drove the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin people were like fighting chicken blood, and they were all scrambling to be the first, which made Zhu Youzhu unhappy.
These people are too utilitarian, but the place where they store talents is the same as the market, noisy and full of philistines, which really makes him not like it, and after only a circle, he loses interest.
Simply, I took Xie Qian and Wang Hua directly, returned to the Qianqing Palace, and 'examined' alone.
Zhu Youzhang received his education a little later, but unlike Zhu Qiyu, after being made the crown prince, he received the education of the prince, and was taught by Zhu Jianshen, and Li Qing also taught him for a period of time halfway.
He can't be called smart, but he is by no means stupid, and he is not ignorant of people's skills and has no emperor's heart.
After chatting with the two alone for half an hour, Zhu Youzhu figured out their strengths.
Xie Qian is knowledgeable, can speak, dare to speak, and can speak; Wang Hua has a Confucian atmosphere, a humble gentleman, meticulous, and gentle.
Zhu Youzhu let the former enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate and let the latter enter the Ministry of Rites.
The position is not high, but it is not low, starting from Liupin, and still serving in Beijing, this starting point is really good.
It's just to boil the qualifications, and it's okay to mix the three products in the future.
There is a high probability that the throne will not go back, Zhu Youzhu also saw it, figured it out, and no longer had the idea of relying on his father, he finally took the first step bravely......
