The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 571 Violation of Principles
He not only said this to Xia Qing, but also to himself.He only helped this time, and Xia Qing would never want to threaten him because of this in the future.

Xia Qing smiled slightly when he heard this, but at the same time he scoffed in his heart.

Didn't an upright person like Zhang Hai do something against his principles for his own selfish desires?
He believed from beginning to end that there is no one in this world who cannot be moved, whether it is for fame, power, or because of various unavoidable reasons.

He didn't believe what Zhang Hai said was just this time.This time because of the life of the eldest grandson, next time it will be for other reasons.

As for holding the handle this time and making Zhang Hai his own, that is impossible.Because Min Feng was involved in this matter, it would not be good for anyone to reveal it.

"The grand scholar should know what to do. When I present it to the emperor, I will fulfill my promise."

Xia Qing intends to ask Zhang Hai to submit the preface. The font on this preface is regular script, and all books in the Imperial Academy must use regular script.

The writing techniques of regular script are all similar, with square shapes and straight strokes, so it is not easy to identify at all.

Since it is said that it was done by Min Feng, it is not suitable for him to present it to the emperor himself.

Zhang Hai has to do it himself. After the emperor has read the prologue, he will ask other officials to pass a few words in front of the emperor. In the end, he will personally say a few good words for Min Feng. His face.

Anyway, he is also a dignified chief assistant, and there are many officials who have taken refuge in him, so the emperor will naturally weigh it carefully.What's more, even if the emperor doesn't care about it, Daoist Ji must be able to use some strength, right?
Thinking of this, he was faintly annoyed.Such a small official of the sixth rank, why was he so troublesome before.

He sent a letter to the Ministry of Officials, saying that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials would still sell his face to him, but who would have thought that the emperor would intervene in this matter, which is really an extra problem.

In the past two years, his authority has been constrained, the emperor's trust in him has been decreasing, and he has begun to restrain himself in doing things.

"Then please keep your word, and the next official will leave first!"

Zhang Hai returned to the Imperial Academy with a heavy heart.This time, for the sake of his eldest grandson, he violated his usual principles of life.He actually lowered his head in front of Xia Qing, which made him very annoyed.Not only did he lose his prestige in front of the subordinate officials, but he also became a person who broke his promise.

Thinking of this, he felt a little depressed again, packed up the prologue of the meeting, and prepared to rush to the imperial study to see the emperor.

The servant guarding the imperial study watched from afar the arrival of Master Zhang from the Imperial Academy, and one of them entered the imperial study to report.

Zhang Hai, as a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, often came to the imperial study to ask the emperor to see him because he had to consult the emperor for many matters in the Imperial Academy.The little servant guarding the gate was very familiar with him, and seeing him coming from a distance, he went in and reported first.

Zhang Hai hesitated as he walked, he never knew that the road from the Imperial Academy to the Imperial Study Room was so close.He staggered and hesitated in his heart.

"Master Zhang! You are here, the emperor invites you in!"

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Hai came to the vicinity of the imperial study.The little servant hurriedly saluted him, feeling that Master Zhang looked a little strange today, as if he was preoccupied, walking very slowly.

If I had known it earlier, he would have gone in and reported. The emperor might be in a hurry right now, and I don't know if the chief executive will blame him.

Not to mention how regretful the little servant was, Zhang Hai saw that he had already arrived outside the imperial study, so he had no choice but to go in.I had no choice but to bite the bullet, grabbed the booklet in my hand, ignored the little servant's warm greeting, and went straight into the imperial study.

"Minister Zhang Hai respectfully invites the emperor to be safe!"

The emperor was reviewing a memorial, feeling very unhappy.During this period of time, because he personally reviewed the memorials, those veteran ministers in the cabinet completely turned into shopkeepers, and some trivial matters were also piled up in front of him.

There are few important things that can't be seen, but the matter of asking for the establishment of the prince accounts for [-] to [-]% of the memorial.

Those cabinet officials don't know what they are doing, all he can see are these messy memorials?

The emperor rubbed the center of his brows, this is forcing me!It can't go on like this anymore, Xia Qing, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, has too much power and has become a climate.

He must help one person as soon as possible to fight against Xia Qing.The emperor and the officials in the court thought about it all, but he didn't expect any of them to be of use to him.

The relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, and even a neutral minister is surrounded by in-laws, and his hands and feet are tied when he does things, and he is not happy with his orders.

Those old ministers are all old foxes, and it will take a lot of effort to figure it out.He didn't have so much time and energy, after all, his body was not as good as when he was young, and those lofty ambitions had disappeared with age.

If you want to stay in the country, you can't act on your will. You have to learn the golden mean, weigh the pros and cons, and think twice before acting.

Just like the pile of memorials in front of him, no matter how disgusting he was, he still had to read them all.So what if he is the Son of Heaven?There are still times when you can't help yourself.

After thinking about it, he had no choice but to choose among the new officials. So far, he still has expectations for Gu Chengyu.

The emperor made up his mind, no matter what!He's just a fledgling boy, so he can help if necessary.When the balance between the DPRK and China is balanced in the future, he can rest easy.

Having made up his mind, the emperor called out after Zhang Hai saluted and greeted him.

"Master Zhang is coming here now, but the rules for the conference have already been drawn up?"

The emperor counted the time, and the ceremony had been arranged for five days. Zhang Hai came to see him, presumably for this matter.

"Reporting to the emperor, this minister came here because of the conference. This is the constitution of the conference drafted by the Imperial Academy. Please read it to the emperor."

De'an, who was waiting at the side, quickly stepped forward to take it, and handed it to the emperor respectfully.

As the emperor flipped through the pages one by one, Zhang Hai's expression also became tense.

When the emperor opened the prologue, he was a little surprised at first, then admired, and finally nodded with satisfaction after reading it.

"Is this drafted by your Imperial Academy and the Sixth Ministry? That's right, I don't think there should be anything that needs to be checked and filled in, so let's compile it according to this!"

Zhang Hai had been staring at the emperor's face, so he could see that the emperor was very satisfied.Next, the emperor will inevitably ask who came up with this, after all, this preface is completely different from the original one made by the Imperial Academy.

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Your preface is a good example. All the books compiled by the Imperial Academy in the future can be used in this form. It is clear at a glance, and it is easier to search for it later."

Thinking about it this way, the emperor was full of praise for Xumu, and praised him a few words.

"Who thought of this? You veterans can't think of this way."

The emperor's mood is a little bit happier at the moment. The senior officials of the Imperial Academy can only do things step by step. Have they ever thought about reforming or bringing forth the new?
