Chapter 794 The Carpenter Emperor 49

Ye Xianggao served as a cabinet minister, but he did not hold any other official positions in other ministries.

In other words, the former chief assistant of the cabinet and the "only prime minister" of Shenzong is now the fourth in the cabinet.But Liu Yixiu and Han Yu also respected Ye Xianggao.Just look at so many people who arrived in the capital after the new king ascended the throne, and they are still waiting for official positions in a daze. Bu Shangshu Zhou Jiamo's promotion exists.

There is an undercurrent of officials waiting to be selected in the capital.

Unable to bear the urging of Donglin's "comrades", ** Xing went to Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe to seek space for the Donglin party members to recover.

Fang Congzhe pondered for a while, and decided to tell ** Xing about the emperor's attitude, and finally added: "Brother Mengbai, even though I am the chief assistant, I have nothing to say about the recovery of the officials."

** Xing was a Jinshi in the second year of Wanli, and he was a proper senior in front of Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao in the 11th year of Wanli.When Fang and Ye were juniors who had just started their official careers and lived through their seniority, Li Xing had already emerged in the political arena and was highly regarded by Lu Guangzu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Lu Guangzu, who was about to retire in the 20th year of Wanli, went to Shushenzong to recommend a famous star for the next year's Beijing inspection, and promoted him to be a doctor of the Ministry of Officials.During the Guisi Jingcha in the 21st year of Wanli, he lived up to Lu Guangzu's great trust, and assisted Shangshu Sun Long to oversee major plans and purge officials.Without favoritism, he first dismissed his incompetent in-laws—all to Wang Sanyu and Sun Long's nephew, Lu Yinchang, a member of the anthology department.Regardless of the cabinet's entrustment, he impartially eliminated many important officials who wanted to take care of students and relatives, and punished a group of corrupt officials such as the younger brother of the cabinet scholar Zhao Zhigao. Take the test first."

Such a merciless act made the chief assistant Wang Xijue and others anger the official department, and gave Shenzong Shangshu the power to impeach the official department to form a party, which angered Shenzong, and Sun Long was dismissed by Shenzong's hand, and the imperial family was reduced to the people.

The matter is not limited to Sun Long becoming an official and the star of the Communist Party losing his membership.Most of the people who spoke for Sun Long and ** Xing at that time were reprimanded.Gao Panlong, who worked as a pedestrian in the Pedestrian Department, defended Fang Shi's nemesis, and was exiled because of this.Gao Panlong is a Jinshi admitted by ** Xing when he was taking the examination room examination in the 17th year of Wanli.

In the following year, Gu Xiancheng, a doctor in the Ministry of officials, was dismissed because he recommended Sun Long and others to be cabinet ministers.After Gu Xiancheng was dismissed, he went back to Wuxi to build Donglin Academy, where he gave lectures with his younger brothers Gu Yuncheng and Gao Panlong, satirizing the government and criticizing current maladies.

Some young people who are not satisfied with their official careers and who have not yet entered the official career gather in Donglin Academy to study and discuss politics, and gradually form a scholarly system that cannot be underestimated.

Ye Xianggao has a good relationship with ** Xing, seeing this, he comforted ** Xing and said: "Brother Mengbai, there is no need to worry about waiting for the officials to recover. The next year will be the Jingcha. The imperial court will not condone incompetent officials, and the emperor will not tolerate them." There will be room for the corrupt, and there will be a place for them."

** Xing sighed: "It's not just about waiting for the opportunity of Jingcha, but also about tracking down Yintian, and if he can't make up for it, he will lose his membership."

Ye Xianggao's expression darkened.After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said: "Brother Mengbai, I have also lived in the village for many years. When I first returned to the capital, I filled out a form in the Ministry of Officials, and now I have to wait for the verification of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Brother 30 years ago, he was clean, and no one who corrupted the law was allowed. How can a foolish villain occupy an official position to mediate and plan for those who have been corrupted by the court's taxes?"

** Xing blushed in shame, and reluctantly said: "After being promoted, most of the scholars donate their fields and take refuge in their disciples. I also know that they are greedy for the court's taxes. This has been a practice for more than a hundred years. .If today’s emperor forces a sentence not to be allowed, and immediately pursue it, it must be known that many cases are for the meager income to make ends meet. How can I make up for it? But if the status is reduced, the old man still feels that it is not appropriate.”

Ye Xianggao was once poor when he was a child.His mother avoided Japanese pirates when she was pregnant with him, and even gave birth to him in the toilet.When he was young, Ye Xianggao took refuge with his family and lived a life of homelessness and starvation. He fell into desperation many times and survived because of his fate.A few years later, the Japanese plague in Fujian was pacified, and Ye Xianggao's family was able to return home.This childhood experience made him deeply aware of the impact of military disasters on the lives of ordinary people.

"Brother Mengbai, Fushun, Tieling, and Kaiyuan were occupied by Jurchen in Eastern Liaodong. The defeat in the Battle of Saerhu was largely due to insufficient military pay and hasty use of troops. Some of them did not make any achievements other than criticizing the government. The Son of Heaven Even if Yintian's income is recovered, it is hard to say that it should not be done."

Fang Congzhe and Xini persuaded: "The new king will not ask scholars to make up and refund the full amount at once. You should know something in the official department. It is nothing more than that you cannot be promoted if you don't refund it clearly. Although officials will not be exempted from tax next year, the salary will be paid. It has increased a lot, and if we can be more frugal, it will be paid off in three to five years."

** Xing sighed and said: "Shangshu Zhou didn't get along with me, and now I have to be cautious in everything in the official department. Officials who are in office can pay back with salary increases, while those who are waiting will be in trouble. Most of these people were fighting for Guoben and others are away from the court. If they were officials in the court for their own interests in the past, they would not be in a dilemma today. It is for this reason that I came to find the two old elders. I hope that the two can speak in front of the new king and give them advice. An opportunity to serve the county king again."

Fang Congzhe bowed his hands to ** Xing, "Brother Feibai came from a public heart, and I will definitely convey this to Your Majesty."

** Xing reached his goal, got up and left.

Ye Xianggao saw that Fang Congzhe agreed to ** Xing, and did not dissuade him, but carefully reminded him to pay attention to Xinjun's mood.

"Brother Zhonghan, I see that the Son of Heaven has similar temperaments to Shenzong, so don't provoke him."

Fang Congzhe nodded, "Jinqing's concerns are extremely serious. Zhao Mengbai also had no choice but to intercede with those who have been corrupted by the court's taxes. But when it comes to the matter of leaving the court for the sake of the country, I am hurting others. "

Ye Xianggao knew that Fang Congzhe had insisted on "struggling for the foundation of the country", and in the past, he had gone to Shudo Tao and Shenzong.He also understood that although Fang Congzhe was not a strong character, he was persistent, so he stopped trying to persuade him.But he also secretly made up his mind that he wanted to follow the emperor to calm the emperor and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, so he could not participate in these activities that went against the emperor's wishes for the time being.

The emperor Tuofang Congzhe's warning to him is still vivid in his ears.

Fang Congzhe agreed to **, and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask to see the emperor.Standing outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Wei Chao greeted Fang Shoufu when he saw him approaching.

"Old Fang Ge, the emperor is listening to the filial piety and lectures of the Imperial Academy."

Gongnai, styled Xiaoyu, served as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and was the assistant director of Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, who was Guangzong's "teacher".After Guangzong succeeded to the throne, he was recalled as an "emperor teacher" and worshiped as a sacrificial wine for Guozijian.Gongnai came from the prestigious "Guange family" in the north of the Yangtze River. From Gongnai's great-grandfather Gong Mianren, he has been successively elected as Jinshi for generations. To Gongnai's generation, "the fifth generation of Jinshi, father and son Hanlin", or Wenzhi, or martial arts, has made many achievements. , It shined brightly all over the world for a while.It is also one of the few officials who is not involved in the dedication of Yintian.

Gong Nai has excellent literary talents and a straightforward personality. The lectures given by him and Sun Chengzong are very popular with the new king.Usually it is about an hour for others, and it is likely to be two hours for the two of them, and the new king will even invite them to eat together.

That being the case, Fang Congzhe bowed his hands to Wei Chao, thanked him for telling the truth, and saved himself from waiting outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"I have something important to do at home, I'll see the emperor tomorrow."

Wei Chao bowed his hands and watched Fang Shoufu.

The little eunuch who followed Wei Chao had just graduated from Neishutang.Seeing that Wei Chao and Fang Congzhe were very polite, which was different from the courtiers I had heard before seeing the respect of the eunuch Bingbi, he couldn't help asking Wei Chao.

"Master, why do you always treat Fang Shoufu so politely?"

Wei Chao tapped him on the forehead, "It's not that I want to be polite, it's the emperor who wants us servants to be like this. When you first arrive at the Supervisor of Ceremonies, you must always remember to do what the emperor says. If you don't understand, follow along." Daguan Liu paints cats and tigers."

The eunuch quickly bowed his head and accepted Wei Chao's lesson.

"Liufu, you have been bestowed by the emperor. Be smart in everything from now on. As servants, whoever gains power will be a word from the emperor. If you annoy these foreign ministers, if they get bored and want to fix it Waiter, we are hard to guard against."

This is exactly the opposite of what Liufu learned in the inner school.But this Liufu is also a smart person, seeing that the master has the trust of the emperor, so with the master-student relationship like a father and son in the palace, the master's teaching is definitely for his own good, just listen to it and do it.

Zhu Youxiao liked the lectures given by Gong Nai and Sun Chengzong very much.Both of them are grand and generous, not sticking to the commentaries of the "Four Books and Five Classics", and the old master who followed the scriptures.In his early years, Gongnai advocated innovation and advocating the majestic and elegant "Qi Feng", focusing on revealing the profound connotations of majesty, childishness, true love, self-establishment, and cleverness.After decades of tempering, Gong Nai's poetic style is contrary to the gentleness of "Chu style", and it is the unrestrained and arrogant of Qilu land.

His lectures on classics and meanings pursue the fundamentals of academic affairs and apply them to the world.

In Gongnai's explanations quoted from the scriptures, Zhu Youxiao's heart is often agitated by his honesty, honesty, honesty, not indulging in sensuality, and his ambition to rejuvenate the country and save the world.Occasionally, the emperor and the emperor would do some poetry singing after finishing their studies. Whenever Gong Nai got some good lines, or Zhu Youxiao occasionally got some witty words, the laughter of the two masters and apprentices often made the guardian The servants outside the Heart Palace lost their minds.

The Wei Dynasty counted carefully, and every time the emperor laughed and gave lectures, he would leave Gongnai to eat in the palace.

The lectures given by Sun Chengzong, the descendant of the left concubine, can also resonate with the new king.After the content of the regulations is finished, the emperor will inquire about the affairs of the northwest and discuss military matters with Sun Chengzong.

When the discussion is happy, Sun Chengzong will also stay in the palace for dinner.

After a few months of working together, both Gong Nai and Sun Chengzong also found the new king's liking.According to Xinjun's request, the content of the next lesson was arranged for the emperor to recite in advance.When it’s time for class, just speak out your point of view and discuss it with the emperor.The content in the annotations of the scriptures, the eunuchs who come out of Neishutang and are comparable to the level of Jinshi, will explain it to the emperor in advance.

Gong Nai thought it would be great if the students of Guozijian memorized all the annotations in private and worked hard like the emperor.
