I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 723

In fact, Yang Suwen has been thinking about Yang Shiqi's question for a long time.

As far as the current situation is concerned, they have figured out Li Tian's thoughts at the moment, and they are convinced that Li Tian is not persecuting the family members of Jianwen's former officials who are wandering outside.

In this way, they have no reason to stay in the capital.

But he thought about it again, the emperor is the lord of a country, and there must be countless things to deal with every day. If there is no capital in the capital that can contact the emperor to sit in charge.

Then let the emperor always remember the suffering orphans outside the pass, maybe how long it will take before they can get the real pardon and live the good life they deserve.

As for the person left behind, in his opinion, there should be no more suitable candidate than him.

It just so happened that Yang Shiqi treated them pretty well at this time. If he could stay with Yang Shiqi, he would not only be able to know the emperor's thoughts abnormally, but also indirectly seek some benefits for the compatriots outside the pass through Yang Shiqi. Serves multiple purposes.

However, if he really did this, it would be tantamount to being separated from Sun Ruowei and the rest of the brothers.

This made it a little difficult for him to choose.

Another point, and the most important point, if he stays with Yang Shiqi to do things, he will inevitably not be caught on the spot.

What he was about to say just now was stuck in his throat, making him at a loss as to how to express it.

At this time, Yang Shiqi seemed to see his inner struggle.

He walked to his side with a smile, patted his shoulder lightly, and said as if to encourage him,

"You young people, sometimes you just think too much, and you want to have the best of both worlds at any time, but you don't know where there is so much happiness in this world.

In your life, you always have to give up something, so that you can get rid of all the burdens and let yourself go faster and further. "

Yang Shiqi actually had two purposes for saying this.

The first is to persuade him to stay. As long as he can stay, I only need to spend a little time on cultivating him. With Yang Suwen's talents, he will be able to stand out in the court in a few years, and it is not impossible to reach his height in the future. possible.

Secondly, even he could tell that Yang Suwen had a different feeling for Sun Ruowei.

If it was someone else, he would be too lazy to care about the love between men and women, but Sun Ruowei has been appointed by Li Tian as the crown prince Zhu Zhanji's concubine.

If Yang Suwen continues to persevere, he may not be the only one who will be harmed in the end, even Sun Ruowei, who may become the mother of the world in the future, may be implicated by him.

Of course, Yang Suwen didn't know at this time that Sun Ruowei had actually been favored by Li Tian. Perhaps only he himself could know how much he could hear Yang Shiqi's words.

Yang Suwen hesitated for a while, and finally said,

"Mr. Ge, please make amends. Su Wen wants to answer your question after discussing with the brothers."

With a smile on his face all the time, Yang Shiqi said indifferently,

"It's okay, there's plenty of time, you can think about it slowly, after all, this may be related to your life's future and destiny, there's nothing wrong with being cautious!"

After finishing speaking, he casually sat on a chair, spread out a landscape painting he got from somewhere, and asked Yang Su casually while admiring it,
"Speaking of which, I don't know much about your family background. Who is your father, how old is this year, and have you ever tried to take the imperial examination?"

Originally, it was impolite to ask the bottom line, but Yang Suwen didn't pay much attention to it. After thinking about it for a while, he replied directly,
"Don't dare to hide the old man, my father Yang Jing, a native of Shanyang County, Zhili, was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu..."

Hearing this name, Yang Shiqi's eyes that were originally on the scroll shrank suddenly, and he said hastily,

"But that Yang Jing who was promoted to Minister of the Household Department in the second year after becoming a Jinshi, and was promoted to Minister of the Household Department only four years later?"

Yang Suwen nodded and said,

"Exactly!"

Now Yang Shiqi couldn't sit still anymore, he walked quickly to Yang Suwen's side, looked him up and down again, and couldn't help admiring while watching,

"Originally, the old man thought that your family background might be very ordinary, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be of such a background. No wonder you have such courage and courage at such a young age. You dare to ask His Majesty to see your Majesty in a white body. You are really a tiger without a son."

Speaking of Yang Jing, Yang Shiqi had too much to say.

Yang Jing can be regarded as one of the few elites who have been promoted the fastest in the entire Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the last year of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zaode, the last chief minister of the cabinet, went from the sixth rank to the third rank in three years, and was directly promoted to the cabinet minister.

But there was a reason why he was promoted so quickly.

The main reason is the suspicious character of Emperor Chongzhen. The chief ministers of the cabinet are like leeks, which have been changed one crop after another. In the 17 years of his reign, fourteen chief ministers have been changed, and each reigned for less than one and a half years on average.

Coupled with the political environment at the time, it is not surprising that Wei Zaode was promoted so quickly.

But Yang Jing is different. He was a Jinshi in Hongwu for 18 years. Zhu Yuanzhang's period was not the end of Ming Dynasty. Everything in Ming Dynasty was flourishing and developing.

Coupled with Lao Zhu's great talent and strategy, if this Yang Jing has no real skills, how could Zhu Yuanzhang like him.

And in history, the evaluation of Yang Jing is also very good.

There are young people who are very enlightened, devoted to literature, proficient in classics, Shi Dayi, erudite and good at literature, excellent in learning and conduct, long-term benefit and excellent knowledge.

What is even more admirable is that Yang Jing was a young man who achieved ambition at a young age. At the age of 30, he became an official obeisance to the Minister of the Household Department, one of the nine ministers. No complaints or regrets, always clean and honest.

Although he died when he was only 38 years old, during the 12 years he was an official, he successively served as Minister of the Ministry of Households, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Zuodu Yushi.

No matter where you are, you can benefit the world and put the people first. You can be said to be the brightest star of an era.

Later generations commented on him, "Yang Jing Shangshu, honest and upright, with a little wisdom, a well-known political voice, and a talented minister, he died unjustly for not fulfilling his purpose!"

It can be seen how much later generations regretted his early death.

In fact, Yang Shiqi also admired this family. How could he not be excited to see this senior's descendant now.

But he thought about it again, "Something is wrong. Yang Suwen is only 25 or 30 years old this year, and Yang Jing died in Hongwu [-] years ago. How could he be implicated by the battle of Jingnan and become the remnant party of Jianwen?"
