Jinyi champion

Chapter 942 Megaphone, peacemaker (plus more)

Hanlin Academy.

Yang Shen sorted out a new memorial to the Great Ritual Discussion, and re-arranged the etiquette rhetoric for the Great Ritual Discussion. After sorting out the joint names of a bunch of people, he was ready to play at any time.

Yu Chengxun took it over to look at it, and suddenly thought of something, put down the memorial and asked: "Basically, everyone in the Imperial Academy has signed on it, do you want to add respect?"

Yang Shen said: "Let's be respectful."

Yu Chengxun heard Yang Shen's guard against Zhu Hao from it.

This is when Zhu Hao said that after he accepted Jiang Rong, the son of Bo Yutian Bo Jiang Lun, as his disciple, Yang Shen became more and more suspicious of Zhu Hao, and he no longer discussed most things with Zhu Hao. I don't like to participate in the discussion of the DPRK affairs.

"It's rare that His Majesty no longer mentions the matter of discussing the ceremony. If we hand over this matter, will it... be counterproductive?" Yu Chengxun asked.

Yang Shen was firm: "You can't abandon the established process just because His Majesty backed down for a while. Righteousness cannot be violated. Distinguishing right from wrong is the principle we should have. Let's play it in the future!"

……

……

Yang Shen made his own decision.

Before Yang Shen had time to submit the memorial, Jiang Mian, the chief assistant, sent Fengxi, a Hanlin scholar, to find Yang Shen, and persuaded Yang Shen to put the matter of the memorial to a later date.

Facing the stubborn Yang Shen, Fengxi was also quite helpless, no matter how you look at it, Yang Shen was the more assertive one, Fengxi, as a Hanlin scholar, was like a puppet who could only run errands to mediate.

"Yongxiu, even if there is a major event in the court, you should not be involved in it. You have a special status. It has been less than half a year since your father returned to the field. Your persistence at this time will bring unpredictable consequences!"

Fengxi almost made the topic clear.

However, Yang Shen didn't pay attention to the "surrender faction" like Fengxi at all, and said indifferently: "Scholar Feng doesn't need to persuade you any more. I have already anticipated the consequences. Even if your majesty really wants to punish the crime, I will accept it with peace of mind." .”

Fengxi got angry when he heard this.

You, a Hanlin attendant lecturer, are even worse than me, a Hanlin bachelor, you are so arrogant!
"It was Jiang Zhongtang who asked me to remind you that now is not the time."

Fengxi could only move out the chief assistant Jiang Mian.

It’s okay not to mention Jiang Mian here, but after Jiang Mian was mentioned, Yang Shen’s attitude was even firmer than before: “The ministers of the court and the central government perform their own duties, and our duty is to persuade Your Majesty to behave in a good manner, and Jiang Zhongtang... His duty is to propose easy things, each of which is different, so there is no need for Scholar Feng to persuade him, as long as there are any consequences, the Imperial Academy will not be involved."

"You... ugh!"

Facing such a stubborn Yang Shen, Fengxi couldn't do anything but sigh.

……

……

That night, Fengxi went to see Jiang Mian and told the truth about Yang Shen's stubborn attitude.

After Jiang Mian listened, he probably understood why this junior was so stubborn, and immediately said in a leisurely tone: "He thinks that I did not argue with His Majesty like his father, and thinks that I have backed down and let him down. His father’s entrustment, and he felt that it was his responsibility to inherit his father’s will, so he said this.”

Fengxi asked in surprise: "What is Yongxiu doing?"

It's fine to look down on me, a Hanlin bachelor, but even a Shoufu University scholar?

Jiang Mian took this very lightly, shook his head and sighed softly: "Let him go, as he said, even if he doesn't take action, His Majesty will not let go of the matter of discussing the ceremony, let His Majesty know the attitude of the courtiers against it , there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that he will be in court in the future... Alas!"

Not finished.

But Fengxi could tell that Jiang Mian felt that Yang Shen's official career was in danger.

You don’t even look down on the two immediate superiors who are in the same camp as you, the Shoufu University Bachelor, the Hanlin Bachelor, and the emperor and you are political enemies. Your father once had a grudge against the emperor. With your attitude, you still want to be in the court. Flourishing?

The emperor can send you to a remote place to be an official if he finds an opportunity, and even says that these punishments are light. If you are so obsessed and offend the emperor, the emperor will not just If you are released, it is very likely that you will be punished and punished to go to the border. Have you, Yang Shen, thought about the consequences?

Feng Xi said: "The young man doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and he is also incompetent, so he couldn't persuade him properly."

Jiang Mian smiled and said: "This has nothing to do with you. He has such a temper. Even before his father left, he was worried that he would do something wrong. Let me remind him and correct him. It seems that Jiefu is thinking too much. What qualifications do I have to persuade a young talent like Yongxiu?"

"Ugh!"

Fengxi continued to sigh.

Now Yang Shen really turned himself into an outlier that everyone disliked, even Jiang Mian was full of disappointment with Yang Shen.

Jiang Mian said: "I just hope he doesn't make too much trouble, but I don't know who else in this world can let him put down the big stone in his heart and be a courtier who abides by the rules with peace of mind?"

Fengxi thought for a while, smiled wryly and shook his head.

Yang Tinghe Zhishi, Jiang Mian and Fengxi can't persuade Yang Shen, who else can persuade Yang Shen to let go of his obsession and become a "good baby"?
It is too unrealistic to expect Yang Shen to be a well-behaved courtier.

……

……

Yang Shen resisted the pressure of all parties and submitted his "Great Ritual Debate" memorial, but it seemed as if nothing had disappeared, and there was not even a splash for many days.

The emperor didn't mention it, and the cabinet and courtiers didn't mean to mention it in the court.

It seems that the emperor didn't want to make troubles, and the civil servants wanted to protect Yang Shen, a thorn in his side, so that Yang Shen spent a lot of energy and did something that was not pleasing to both sides, and then his performance was ignored by all parties. up.

Naturally, Yang Shen was furious, and wanted to take some drastic measures to make up for it.

But at this time, Zhu Hao went to the Hanlin Academy again and specially invited Yang Shen to talk about the Great Rites.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?"

When Yang Shen saw Zhu Hao coming, he seemed to be negotiating with him, so he was naturally surprised and puzzled, and his tone seemed suspicious.

Zhu Hao said: "That's it. Mr. Tang came to me and mentioned to me about your last performance."

"he?"

Yang Shen sat there with an angry look on his face, "It seems that Your Majesty has seen my petition a long time ago, and also knows that there is no reason to argue. Is this trying to calm things down through you?"

Zhu Hao first signaled Yu Chengxun to go out first, meaning to talk to Yang Shen alone.

Yu Chengxun also found it very puzzling, but he still gave Zhu Hao and Yang Shen a chance to get along alone.

Zhu Hao said: "Brother Yongxiu, I heard some things, and I'm not sure what to do, and I haven't discussed it with others. I want to talk to you alone. Are you willing to give me face?"

"Go ahead."

Yang Shen's attitude is still very indifferent.

Because Yang Shen knew that this time Zhu Hao represented Tang Yin, which was equivalent to acting as a "peacemaker" for the emperor.

Zhu Hao casually picked up a book on the table, as if he had put it down before, and handed it to Yang Shen: "Look, this is a booklet reorganized by a member of the Yili School. It is now published in the capital, and I bought it. Come back with one."

"dont see!"

Yang Shen didn't even think about it, so he blocked the book back.

Zhu Haodao: "Mr. Tang is my mentor after all. He has been in Xingwang's Mansion for many years, and now he has rarely been involved in political affairs, but he has learned a lot. I heard him talk about it. He said that recently, His Majesty wants to let Imperial Academy Huang Xueshi enter As the elder of Ge, leave the post of Yili Hanlin Bachelor to Zhang Bingyong, or Mr. Tang."

"Zhang Bingyong?" Yang Shen frowned.

To say that Yang Shen looked down on the younger generation, let alone an "opportunist" like Zhang Cong who was old enough to pass the Jinshi examination, and he didn't think Zhang Cong had any ability to become a Hanlin scholar.

Zhu Hao sighed: "This is how things are in the world. Whoever supports His Majesty will have the opportunity to take the position. Mr. Tang himself has no intention of serving the court and does not intend to accept this errand, so only Zhang Bing will take it...Since Mr. Tang mentioned to me Yes, it means that this matter should be close to each other."

"boom!"

Yang Shen slammed the table and shouted, "The official system of the Ming Dynasty has been turned into a mess by a group of people, and even the most basic principles of promotion are ignored?"

Zhu Haodao: "Brother Yong Xiu wants to say that your Majesty is nepotism? But you should know that since ancient times, no matter whether it is a king, a prince, or an official, cronyism can be found everywhere, and it would make people feel weird not to be nepotism... Daming nowadays, no Is it just a society of personal affection? The whole court says that there is no party, but is it rare to see friends?"

"Jingdao, what do you mean by that?"

Yang Shen turned his anger to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao shrugged: "I'm just expressing my feelings. Mr. Tang also made it clear that if brother Xiu can be used to discuss rituals, you will not be radical... It's not to make you give up your principles, but to make you retreat appropriately. If you can’t become a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, a position of a Bachelor of Attendance or a Bachelor of Attendance can still be reserved for you. This is a kind of balance.”

"what?"

Yang Shen was really shocked after hearing this.

Originally, it was only thought that Zhu Hao was here to convey Tang Yin's meaning, but now he heard that what Zhu Hao represented was no longer the opinion of an official at Tang Yin's level, but more like an exchange of benefits offered to him by the superior.

This is Zhu Hao sent to negotiate with him!
Zhu Hao said: "I know, it's embarrassing for you. Originally, I didn't want to spread this word, but Mr. Tang insisted on asking me to say it. Why do you think I should be such a villain?"

Yang Shen was about to scold Zhu Hao angrily at first, but after thinking about it again, Zhu Hao only acted as a sounding board in this matter, so what's the point of scolding Zhu Hao?
On the contrary, Zhu Hao was still being used by others. With Zhu Hao's character of not wanting to cause trouble before, he might hate being the mouthpiece this time.

Zhu Hao seemed very emotional: "Don't say I'm not principled, I'll just pass on Mr. Tang's words. What he means is that your sincerity is good, but you have to see the opportunity. Now you are just like the court. The forces of the monarch and the ministers are against each other..."

"Why are there two parties?" Yang Shen asked coldly.

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "Could it be that Elder Jiang Ge and Bachelor Feng are very supportive of your performance recently?"

With one question, Yang Shen was pushed back.

Zhu Hao continued: "If you take a step back and switch to a position with more appeal, then you will have more room to play in the future. Temporary forbearance will win you the chance to rise up in the future... Don't you want to step back and take the stage? Is Zhang Bingyong such a speculator? Where will you be then, and how will you correct His Majesty's mistakes?"
