Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1050 Promotion and fortune

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao: "I don't care about this, if Yang Qing's family hurts a hair, I don't look for Fang Jifan, I look for you!"

   "Ah..." Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, he wanted to yell at the injustice, but in the end he was dejected, unable to laugh or cry: "I know."

   There was a bit of helplessness in his tone.

  Emperor Hongzhi only smiled: "In a few days, let the people from the Academy of Sciences be on duty. For the time being, they can only serve as officials..."

  The so-called Chuanfeng officials are officials who are directly appointed and dismissed by the palace without the imperial examination.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed again: "I think back then, when the late emperor was here, he trusted those sorcerers. In order to keep them in and out of the palace, and refine the elixir of immortality for the late emperor, it was even more to show his favor. The late emperor ordered these sorcerers one after another. I was appointed to be an official. I was still a prince at that time, and I hated these people deeply. I never thought that one day, a large number of officials would be awarded to officials. But what can be done? , My decision is not like that of the late emperor, it is correct!"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Father is very wise." After a pause: "This is what Lao Fang said."

  Emperor Hongzhi curled his lips: "It doesn't matter if you are a saint or not, he always said that."

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and sighed: "I also hope...the Academy of Sciences won't disappoint me, you won't disappoint me, and the successor vassals won't disappoint me either! I have encouraged too many people to do this. A lot of courage, well, let's go."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, waved his hand, and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The sun was setting, and the afterglow was reflected on the glass window. Behind Emperor Hongzhi, a long shadow was reflected. The brilliance of the setting sun matched this figure Cheng Qu, but Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.

Standing aside, Xiao Jing silently tidied up the copybook for Emperor Hongzhi. On the copybook, Xiao Jing only glanced at Yang Yiqing's memorabilia. After reading it, Xiao Jing smiled. Xiao Jing, the most powerful soldier and general among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, is the governor of the East Factory. He has a slight impression of many of the names here.

  Yang Yiqing...seeing people...really accurate!

  On the other hand, Fang Jifan and Ouyang Zhi picked out a group of crooked melons and jujubes. These people have no family background, fame but no fame, let alone a prominent reputation.

  Xiao Jing couldn't help...shaking his head.

  ...

  Yang Yiqing and Ouyang Zhi are both able-bodied people. After their memorials were approved by the emperor, they immediately set off to take up their duties.

  Ouyang Zhi set off early in the morning. He didn't dare to disturb his teacher, so he left early on purpose.

  Some fellow apprentices agreed to see him off.

  After so many years of studying under the seat of a mentor, we have long been intimate, like brothers to each other.

In the dawn of this morning, we bowed to each other for a long time, said goodbye to each other, and each said we cherish each other, and then turned around without looking back or staying. Brothers, each has his own world, and besides encouraging each other, he can't care about so much Children love each other.

  …

   When Yang Yiqing left, there were quite a few people seeing him off.

  He is a famous official, and this time he stepped forward, which is quite a bit of rectification.

  Therefore, many people gave him encouragement.

Yang Yiqing smiled, and looked at the princes who came to see them off, but only smiled: "I heard that Ouyang Zhi came and went, crossed the river with a reed, and had no long possessions. Such a demeanor is really admirable. I am going here now. In Tongzhou, the government implemented the New Deal for the country. In fact, it was also selfish. It just wanted to compete with this scholar Ouyang. I am a disciple of a saint, so I should put the country first and not favoritism. Second, I also have a rivalry with Ouyang. The ambition to strive for success is not due to envy of the virtuous and capable, without others, it is really unwillingness for a villain to be an official, which is the first of its kind in the court for a hundred and twenty years, and in the future, subordinate officials will be officials and disrupt the court."

  Everyone nodded: "Mr. Yang said that although he said that he had selfish desires, he actually had a sincere heart. We admire you."

Yang Yiqing was dressed in green clothes, his appearance was quite dignified, but because he seemed to be exposed to the sun and rain when he was in Shanxi, his complexion was rough and dark, when he went to the post today, he was not wearing the clothes given by the palace, and he only wore a blue Confucian fir, with the underarms clipped He held an oil umbrella with a mottled wooden handle. He stood tall, his clothes fluttering in the morning wind, and smiled: "I have heard for a long time that Fang Duwei has a good disciple, and the scholar Ouyang is a famous minister. Enlightenment, today is destined, I would like to try the depth."

   As he spoke, he turned around and left.

  All the people behind him bowed to each other.

   With Yang Yiqing on the way, everyone felt much more at ease and watched Yang Yiqing leave.

  Many people were moved and their eyes were moist.

   Over the years, I have been really aggrieved.

  The imperial court has long been changed beyond recognition, and now there are new studies and new policies everywhere, but it seems that people like myself have become rotten trees. Are the scholars in the Ming Dynasty about to perish?

  Although this is groundless worry, the sense of crisis has forced many people to feel melancholy. Look at what the world has become now.

   Fortunately, in this world, there will always be heroes who can turn the tide at critical moments and help the building to collapse.

  This Mr. Yang, presumably he is the one who is destined.

  With him in Tongzhou and so many capable people, what is a mere Baoding Prefecture?

  What kind of waves can a group of subordinate staff make?

   "Slow walk..."

   "Be careful, that Fang Jifan loves intrigue and trickery the most. If he jumps over the wall in a hurry, he may cause inconvenience to Duke Yang."

   Everyone exhorted, still immersed in this sentimentality.

   Just stood there silently, watching Yang Yiqing get into the carriage, and then watching the carriage slowly go away.

  Can't help but make people feel heavy. Everyone has admiration and hope in their hearts. They seem to think that as long as Yang Yiqing goes here, the world will be brought back to the track they know well.

  If this is the case, it is really a blessing for the country and the people.

  Many people had red eyes and were silent.

  When the carriage disappeared into the horizon, the people still refused to disperse.

   Until a long time later, someone suddenly asked, "What time is it in early November?"

   "Eighth day!"

   "Ah!" Someone slapped his forehead: "It's actually the eighth day of the junior high school. I almost missed a big deal!"

   "What's the big deal?"

"Zhengqing Yayuan opened for sale today, with a land of 900 mu. It is next to the Beijing Normal University Theater and adjacent to the Wan Guo Stadium. It is said that the opening price is only 35,000 taels. Such a good location has not been available for a long time... A loan from Xishan Bank , According to reports, there is also an interest rate discount.”

   "Why didn't you say it sooner? I'm afraid it's too late to go now."

   "Farewell, farewell."

   "I will go too."

   "Thirty-five thousand taels, could it be that group of dogs again, the fake news that was released, wouldn't it be easy to raise the price?"

   "From my point of view, nine out of ten are like this. That dog-like thing has no integrity!"

   "Let's go and have a look, draw a lot first."

   All of a sudden, all the birds and beasts dispersed, each got into the carriage, and left in the dust.

  …………

  The Academy of Sciences was listed.

   Zhu Houzhao, a bachelor with a long name, was promoted to the seat in person.

  Because the government office of the Academy of Sciences has not yet been completed, we had to temporarily borrow a house for office work.

   There are hundreds of officials up and down, first come to Dianmao to meet Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan sat with their feet up, waiting for the officials to salute.

  Zhu Houzhao coughed, but didn't know what to do, so he said to Jifan, "Lao Fang, tell me."

Fang Jifan's face was flushed with excitement: "Nowadays, scientists are scrambling to build, it can be said that there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. One of the most important tasks today is to compile an encyclopedia. This book lists the knowledge of various subjects. The purpose is to put these knowledge into practice. Carry forward and spread to all ages."

After a pause, Fang Jifan said again: "Apart from this, it is about supervising and building new colleges for various subjects. It is necessary to set standards and compile textbooks. Naturally, the most important thing is to wait in the palace to serve His Majesty. Counselor, if you are on duty in the palace, your status will be different. Don't embarrass me, and don't let me... be careful with your skin. As a minister, you must have a courteous appearance, don't look like you are all buttoned up, and your waist must be straight straight."

  Fang Jifan reprimanded him, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile: "I don't know, Your Highness, is there anything else you want to add?"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "I have nothing to say, I have always admired Bachelor Fang, and he will do what he says."

   "No no no, I also admire Your Highness very much. Your Highness is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, it is really a blessing for Ming Dynasty."

  Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "Scholar Fang is too much, he is a kind and honest person. His biggest shortcoming is that he speaks too straightforwardly."

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "It's better to be just in case, Your Highness!"

  Zhu Houzhao thought for a while: "Actually, although it's not as good as my palace, it's still not in case."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  The two were talking nonsense.

  The officials of the Academy of Sciences below were all extremely excited.

  After all, no matter who it is, under the influence of thousands of years, it is inevitable that they will have the idea of ​​learning literature and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family.

  At the beginning, many people transferred to junior colleges, either because of interest or because of life.

  How could they have imagined that they would have today.

  Many people expressed emotion that they...had the opportunity to influence the country's affairs.

   Soon, the Academy of Sciences began to get busy.

  In the palace, Xiao Jing dared not show Zhu Hou's face, and specially designated a pretty good side hall, as the Academy of Sciences' waiting room.

  This is waiting for the imperial edict, and more than a dozen Hanlin of the Academy of Sciences entered the palace to be on duty.

  They are all selected from various subjects.

  There is nothing to do at ordinary times, and they are still searching their brains, each studying their own knowledge.

  As for the imperial court, of course, keep them at a respectful distance.

  The cabinet also seemed to ignore their existence.

  But these people are still happy.

  Almost all imperial edicts and memorials will be transcribed and sent to the Academy of Sciences to wait for the imperial edict, and then the Academy of Sciences will organize them after waiting for the imperial edict. This is also an opportunity for them to learn how to govern the world. Many people seem to be very attentive.

  Wang Wenyu was one of them. He was lucky, because there were not many Hanlin selected for astronomy and geography, so he needed a person who was familiar with astronomy and geography in the waiting room, so he was also among them.
