Jinyi champion

Chapter 906 The association ability should be richer

Shi Ping and Fengxi obviously didn't keep up with the emperor's train of thought.

What kind of psychological process did the Emperor Jiajing in front of him have to say these words in front of our two potential candidates for the cabinet?

It’s all right to choose a young man to replace us as a Hanlin bachelor, but you still want us to recommend a young man as an opponent in the cabinet competition?
It's like finding someone to replace us directly!
Shi Jing was very cooperative. Maybe he felt that joining the cabinet was not easy. Yang Tinghe couldn't help him when he was the chief assistant. Now that the little emperor is in power, can he, a senior Yang party, have a chance?
So Shi Yan sincerely recommended several people, such as Gu Dingchen, Li Tingxiang, Liu Long and other officials with bachelor's degree or above.

Fengxi who was on the side was a little aggrieved when he heard it.

I am only a 12-year Jinshi in Hongzhi. I am always a little old, but I am only in my 50s.
Shi Pangxu is 56 years old, while Feng Xixu is [-] years old. The two have passed the Jinshi examination one after another, but they are about the same age. Recommending those young people... I feel somewhat lost in my heart.

But the few people recommended by Shi Yu were obviously not the answer the emperor wanted, and Zhu Si shook his head unconsciously.

"I think we should be bolder and use some younger ones... Do you have any other recommendations?" Zhu Si asked enthusiastically.

Shi Yan and Feng Xi couldn't help but look at each other, thinking of a person almost at the same time.

It is Zhang Bangqi, who is just forty years old now.

The little emperor has made a big circle, isn't he trying to promote Zhang Bangqi to the cabinet?Otherwise, why let Zhang Bangqi enter the Imperial Academy as a servant?

"Your Majesty, judging from the current officials in the Imperial Academy, it seems that none of them have more qualifications than those recommended above. If others are allowed to join the cabinet, I'm afraid it will make people dissatisfied."

Fengxi declined.

Since you, Shi Pang, are too embarrassed to say it, I, Fengxi, will say it for you.

Your Majesty, if you want to play tricks on us brothers, just say it clearly, I know that I have been close to Yang Zhongtang, you don't want to see us, but you can't play us either.

Zhu Sidao: "Oh, do you think that I want to break the rules, so you feel conflicted? In fact, I just do what I can. What do you think... How does the imperial servant talk about Yang Shen?"

Who?
Both Shi Yan and Fengxi "thumped" in their hearts.

The emperor managed to drive Yang Tinghe away, and in the blink of an eye his son Yang Shen was going to join the cabinet?What is this number?
As far as other young people are concerned, both Shi Teng and Fengxi have reservations, but only Yang Yongxiu... has a big problem.

After Yang Tinghe retired, the Imperial Academy was nominally at the helm of Shi Ping and Fengxi, but most of the time they were under the control of Yang Shen. Yang Shen took advantage of his father's relationship to "call the wind and call the rain" in the Imperial Academy. It's a bit of an act of mischief. A waiter forms a clique all day long, and never asks Shi Pang and Fengxi for instructions on anything.

This is why the emperor wanted to promote Yang Shen to the cabinet?
"I employ people according to the rules. If Yang Shen does have this ability, I think it should be based on talent. You should go back and think about it carefully. You can even discuss it with your colleagues to see if he is suitable. By the way, ask others Who can replace Yang Shen, I am waiting for your reply. You can step down."

……

……

Shi Jue and Fengxi met Sheng Sheng, and without discussing any important court affairs, they discussed who would join the cabinet and who would be promoted to be a Hanlin scholar.

In the end, the emperor threw out Yang Shen, saying that he was capable of joining the cabinet, and asked him to go back and discuss it.

Discuss what?
It is said that Zhang Bangqi and Tang Yin and others are ambitious and spy on the positions of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Yang Yongxiu shouldn't have such delusions, right?
Even if Yang Yongxiu wanted to join the cabinet, his father would send a letter to stop him.

When the two returned to the Hanlin Academy, they just sat down and talked for a few words, but they still didn't make sense of it. There was a message saying that the cabinet minister Liu Chun had come.

Before the cabinet, Liu Chun was in charge of connecting with the Imperial Academy. Even though Liu Chun was not directly related to Yang Tinghe, he was promoted all the way up by the orthodox Imperial scholars. Liu Chun's arrival is not surprising.

"Ren Zhong, what do you mean His Majesty?"

Fengxi didn't hide anything, and relayed all the emperor's words in front of Liu Chun.

Let me come back to discuss the possibility of Yang Shen joining the cabinet. We two Hanlin scholars think it is very unreliable, so we can only inform the cabinet ministers and let the cabinet members come forward to stop it.

Who made us two Hanlin scholars have no right to speak in the court?
Considering that ministers join the cabinet, they actually exclude us directly. We still recognize the status quo, don't raise a pole to oppose it, and let others come out to stop the little emperor from messing around.

Although Liu Chun is already the oldest among the several cabinet scholars, he is actually only 65 years old, only five years older than Shi Juan, and much younger than an old official like Sun Jiao. .

After careful consideration, Liu Chun shook his head and said, "It seems that His Majesty did not intend to recommend you to use Xiu."

Feng Xi asked puzzledly: "Then what is His Majesty's original intention...?"

"Ha ha."

Liu Chun shook his head and smiled wryly, but he didn't answer, but his ugly face showed the meaning, as if he was saying, if you ask me, who should I ask?

Shi Jue couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty summoned Yang Yongxiu suddenly and named Yang Yongxiu, explaining that there must be a reason for it. If Your Majesty really intends to break the rules and promote him, it may be possible to appease the court officials' criticisms about His Majesty's employment."

Liu Chun looked at Shi Pang.

He really wanted to say, you two probably don't know how much effort the emperor spent to get Yang Jiefu to withdraw from the court, right?You are in the Hanlin Academy, far away from party disputes, so you don't have a deep feeling, but we cabinet ministers know it best.

In order to exclude Yang Jiefu, the emperor did not even adopt his proposals for half a year. However, the emperor could pick out Yang Jiefu's proposals without even looking at the handwriting, and he often responded with different opinions.

It was the accumulation bit by bit that made Yang Jiefu see the emperor's alienation and forced him to retreat.

Now that all the dust has settled, the emperor would actually promote Yang Jiefu's son into the cabinet?Still break the rules and be promoted?Do you think it's a dream?
Liu Chundao: "Look, does His Majesty intend to pave the way for other young people to enter the cabinet? People who are about the same age as Yongxiu, or even less famous than him, but are appreciated by His Majesty..."

Both Shi Ping and Feng Xi were confused.

Why do you, Liu Renzhong, speak like charades?
other young people?
Who?
"Oh, the old man remembered one thing. Has Jingdao been back to Hanyuan recently?" Liu Chun was still talking about something, but suddenly changed the subject and asked a name that surprised both Shi Ping and Fengxi.

Shi Ping said: "Jing Dao has been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment. How could he go back to Hanyuan so easily? But Yongxiu mentioned before that he wanted to help Jingdao return to Hanyuan... In fact, Jingdao has always been calm in his work, or he has been sent by others for more than two years. Going west, so that I missed my journey."

Shi Yan answered seriously.

He didn't realize at all that Liu Chun was actually implying, why don't you think about Zhu Jingdao?Maybe the emperor used Yang Yongxiu to make you associate and recommend Zhu Jingdao?

Although Liu Chun didn't really believe that the emperor would break the rules and recruit Zhu Hao into the cabinet, but now Liu Chun is not a fool. It was mainly the result of Sun Jiao's constant hints in front of him.

Liu Chun said with emotion: "Jingdao, this child is young but talented. He was a lecturer before and was appreciated by His Majesty. Didn't you say that at that time, didn't you say that he and Yongxiu were going to be a lecturer together? It was only later because Something was delayed."

Feng Xi said: "The time for Jingdao to enter Hanyuan is still short, His Majesty may have other intentions for this move."

"Heh, whatever you think about it, His Majesty didn't mention anything other than letting Xiu enter the pavilion today, right? The old man went back first. Seeing that it's autumn harvest time again, the Northwest is still peaceful this year. Perhaps Hu The Ministry can finally accumulate some property, and the court will be more generous next year."

Liu Chun stood up and wanted to leave, Fengxi and Shi Ping stood up after him, ready to see him off.

Shi Juan asked: "Is your majesty prepared to make a fuss about the affairs in the northwest in the coming year?"

Liu Chun smiled and shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

The three of them left the bachelor's room together.

After walking a few steps, Yang Shen hurried into the yard, as if he had come to discuss with Shi Pang and Fengxi on something urgent.

"Yongxiu? We are talking about you, you are..."

Liu Chun looked at Yang Shen, not knowing what to say.

You are a scholar of the Imperial Academy, you are not even a Bachelor of Attendance and a Bachelor of Attendance, so you are so rampant when you enter the Imperial Academy's room?
Yang Shen said: "You guys, I just got the news that His Majesty secretly issued an imperial edict, reconsidering the grand ceremony, respecting Xing Xiandi as the first emperor, and the edict may not be issued by Han Yuan, you should hurry up and play it, or find a way to seal and refute the edict and return it! Such edicts must not be made public."

Liu Chun asked in surprise, "How did you know that?"

Speaking of this, Liu Chun thought of something, and couldn't help but glanced at Shi Ping and Fengxi.

Fengxi didn't expect that this matter had anything to do with him, and Shi Jue was more flexible. He could instinctively feel that if the emperor really raised the great ceremony again at this juncture, others would not be suspicious. The reason why the emperor summoned him this morning was to discuss this matter with the two of them, right?

Is the emperor trying to dig a hole to carry out that alienation plan?

This method is too low-level, what is the practical significance?

Shi Yan explained: "The two of us don't know about this...Yongxiu, tell me, where did the news come from...Such a big event, it can't just be hearsay, and the cabinet and Hanyuan have not got the news yet."

What Shi Jing meant, even if you Yang Yongxiu is very capable now, you can't bypass the court and get secrets that even the cabinet and the Imperial Academy don't know?

Yang Shen said impatiently: "This matter has indeed happened. As for the sources of the news, there is no need to ask. Mr. Liu Ge should go back to the cabinet to ask for clarification... Your Majesty raised this matter when Mr. Mao Ge was away, or he wanted to make a move. Zhijing, we are too late to realize, we can no longer neglect the matter of counseling."
