Two-fifty-nine garrison soldiers ride out of Xiaoqiang (10)
Zhu Cilang's negotiation skills have reached its peak in his previous life. It can be said that once he enters an office building, he will be a war of verbalism all the time... Otherwise, there are so many talents in the world? It is probably more difficult to get ahead than the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. However, facing an old man like Li Yuzhi who has no desire inside and no desire outside, Zhu Cilang is also a little unsure.
Li Yuzhi has always been trusted by Emperor Chongzhen. This time, despite his age and weakness, he traveled all the way to Tai'an Prefecture. He must have received the secret order of Emperor Chongzhen. With his friendly attitude towards the Eastern Palace, he would not play with any stupid story. Moreover, he just said it very clearly that as long as the Eastern Palace practices the test, he will be willing to retire and give up the wise, and the emperor has agreed.
Li Yuzhi's bottom line should be here.
But where is the emperor's bottom line?
Zhu Cixuan is very clear about his father's emotional intelligence and political wisdom.
In family, we attach importance to family affection and spoil our children. Sometimes we are more like a loving mother than Zhou Hou. As long as we don’t do too much, just the rescue of the capital can ensure that the position of the country will remain unmoved for ten years.
Politically, Chongzhen was able to tolerate, give in, and knows how to give up. The flaw was that he did not dare to take responsibility, was called fiercely, and did little. He only knew how to do it, but he didn't know how he took people to do it.
"If there is no state financial power, even the salary of officials will not be paid." Zhu Cixuan said bluntly: "I want to be in charge of the Ministry of Revenue."
"The old minister can join His Highness to recommend Sun Chuanting to the Ministry of War." Li Yuzhi shook his head slightly and said, "I can also persuade Ni Yuanlu to let Xian, but who is the one who is planning to serve as the household letter?"
Ni Yuanlu was also recommended by Li Yuzhi back then, which shows that in this court, there are always many conveniences to live longer.
"Haha, I want to use a female official." Zhu Cilang said with a smile.
Li Yuzhi laughed and said, "Although using female officials is not a rebellious person, it is indeed shocking. Your Highness, whether it is not a difference between inside and outside, it is probably not a blessing for the country."
"I am not distinguishing between inside and outside now." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "If my female officials can be appointed as court officials, they will be real ministers of the country, not internal officials."
Li Yuzhi was silent.
"The old minister will send someone to convey to Your Majesty, but I think that this matter is a big story, which can be said to be disorderly in the court; in novels, it is also done by the public. Your Highness should be more cautious." Although Li Yuzhi did not object fiercely, he obviously put a wall in his heart. He did not say anything. If "female Ding Ke" could serve as the head of the Sixth Ministry of the State, it would be a new road to promotion, which directly weakened the imperial examination and was an enemy of the scholars of the world.
Scholars all over the world can do not have hair, but they cannot do without the imperial examinations! This is the belief they pursue throughout their lives.
Li Yuzhi knew the inheritance of the Zhu family emperor's surname. The more the ministers opposed it, the more the emperor had to persist. Sometimes he even enjoyed opposing it! If the crown prince realized this himself, he would definitely "avoid the enemy's edge". If he did not realize it, but was pointed out by himself, it would inevitably inspire the rebellious mentality of challenging the world... So it would be better not to say it.
Zhu Cilang saw Li Yuzhi's fatigue, nodded in agreement, and ordered someone to send Mr. Li out. From Li Yuzhi's hesitation, Zhu Cilang certainly knew that the old man's consideration was far deeper than he had imagined, and he probably had seen his true purpose for the imperial examination.
As long as there is one day of imperial examination, there will be the same year, masters, masters, disciples, disciples... If you don't cut this interpersonal network, no matter how good the political framework is, you will not be able to withstand the corrosion. Even if you are a Qingming Festival, it will not take long to reappear. Moreover, the Jinshi exam is a subjective question, and the main examination of the imperial examination is the second auxiliary of the cabinet according to convention. His political stance and academic tendencies are not a secret in the scholars, so the children of powerful families can always meet their preferences, and where do poor students know this?
During the Chongzhen period, Zhou Yanru, as the chief minister, actually broke the convention and committed favoritism and fraud, which was a sign of the collapse of the imperial examination system.
However, if you are enemies of the scholars in the world, your strength is still too weak after all.
Zhu Cilang sent Li Yuzhi away and pulled the bell to summon Lu Suyao in.
"Prepare a recliner and lay it softer, and give it to Mr. Li in the future." Zhu Cixuan looked at the Bian Bill and said, "When Kun Xing came to see you, I will see the officers and generals of the Third Battalion of the Guards."
After experiencing the bandit suppression, Tanning's reserve camp was considered bloody and finally turned into the Third Guard Battalion. Tanning was the official of the Third Battalion and was awarded the rank of colonel. Although he was one level lower than Xiao Mo and Xiao Donglou, he did not have the military achievements of the Second Xiao, so he took it for granted.
The more troublesome ones are the three Qianmai of the Third Battalion, who appointed Hui Xian, Niu Chenghu and Zuo Guangxian respectively. Judging from the resume, these three are all brave generals. However, from the current feedback, the three people expressed dissatisfaction with Queju Tanning, and were even more unhappy about the fact that they had a lower rank than the other two battalions.
This mentality made Zhu Cilang very worried, so he pulled the third battalion to Dongchang Prefecture, supported the first battalion stationed in Jinan Prefecture, and arranged the northwest defense line.
In the direction of Zhaoyuan, Min Zhanlian has begun to train a new reserve camp, and the bandits east of Lexia have basically been eliminated, recruited and resettled. There is no need to garrison too many troops.
"Your Highness, the princess is in my official office, so let's meet again." Lu Suyao said in a difficult situation: "I have been pushed for three days."
"I remember what Mr. Wu and Mr. Sun were coming tonight." Zhu Cixuan pursed his lips and said, "In this way, the two gentlemen came in as soon as they arrived. Let Kunxing come over before they arrived. Come in with a hot veil. I want to wash my face."
Lu Suyao came out of her blessing and said in her heart: Your Highness treats the ministers very meticulously, but she is a little confused about her sister...
Zhu Ma was so impatient that she stayed in Lu Suyao's office room and kept her away from leaving. She lay on the window to watch the officials coming and going in the yard. When she first left Laizhou, she was very angry because the emperor's brother was too disrespectful to give the emperor's parents. After staying in Tai'anzhou for three days, her previous anger had disappeared. She could also understand that the current situation was dangerous, and it was not easy for her brother to support the building alone.
"Your Highness, Master Qiansui, please come in and see you." Lu Suyao finally brought back good news, which made Zhu Mei look excited.
"Okay! Lead the way." Zhu Meiyu sorted out her clothes, then helped her hair accessories on her head, and followed Lu Suyao to the mysterious courtyard.
...
This is not Tai'an Prefecture City, but a large inn at the foot of Mount Tai.
Although it is an inn, it is as big as half a Laizhou Prefecture. The mule and horse sheds alone occupy a long street, spreading one after another. For the first time, people who came here thought that there were carriages and horses in the entire Shandong Province! Going up from Mule and Horse Street, there are a full mile shops, and there are more than twenty apartments in the opera houses alone.
The higher you go, the better the guest room. Zhu Cilang lived in the top villa, and other people accompanying him moved into the upper house and the middle house according to the level. The officials who came to pay their respects and served could always arrange beds in the room. Even so, the inn was very rich in staff, and no matter what they wanted, they could be delivered to the guest room quickly.
If His Royal Highness hadn’t wanted to use this place as a villa in the East Palace, the boss wouldn’t have someone to book the venue!
Although the luxury of this inn opened his eyes, Zhu Cilang even more shockedly was that it was not the only one at the foot of Mount Tai. Other inns occupied less than theirs and were not as large as theirs, but in other prefectures, they were also considered well-known inns. It can be seen that the number of tourists coming to Mount Tai for incense every year is so large.
"Taishan is a place where the emperor can only be fond of ancestral love after he gained auspiciousness. Almost every family in Denglai has to come to incense. If you come here, brother has no time to accompany you, so you can ask Min Ziruo to arrange someone to take you up the mountain to see you." When Zhu Cixuan saw his sister, he burned his face with a strong heated veil and smiled.
"Yes, you can still ask for an official position and get a child, which is very effective... I have heard from the shopkeeper below that he said this several hundred times." Zhu Mai couldn't bear it when she saw her brother's tired look, but she still pouted: "I came here just to know why the emperor wanted to piss off his parents on purpose."
"Yoyou, I really came to ask for punishment." Zhu Ciyang laughed and said, "About sir, it is reasonable to watch more and listen less. What about the orphanage in Laizhou?"
"Does the emperor still remember the orphanage in his busy schedule?" Zhu Mai was angry that his brother underestimated her, and could not help but speak sarcastic. However, seeing that his brother didn't seem to hear it, he had to answer seriously: "Now there are 12,000 people in total."
"So much!" Zhu Ciyang was a little surprised: "Is there enough silver and grain?"
"The main reason is that the little dolls between the ages of 3 and 10 have taken over a lot." Zhu Niu bit her lip and said, "There is also someone deliberately throwing the girl at the door, and I have also taken over them."
Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "I am indeed not considerate about this matter. Thanks to your kind heart and good work, my sister."
"Really?" People prefer boys over girls, and they always feel that women are useless. Zhu Mai originally thought that her brother would scold her, but she didn't expect that it would be a compliment and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"There is a difference between yin and yang, but there is no height. Balancing men and women is a national event. How can we only raise men?" Zhu Cixuan stood up and said, "But in this way, the food matter is indeed a bit more stressful."
"Mom asked the palace to reduce the cost, which can support it for a while." Zhu Xian said.
"It's not okay to let your parents save food." Zhu Cilang shook his head and said, "In this way, I ask the prefectures and counties to organize the open space and distribute it to these orphans. Anyone who adopts them can gain the geographical advantage until the orphans become adults. In addition..." Zhu Cilang said halfway, and stopped talking: "Are you two gentlemen?"
Lu Suyao, who was standing at the door, said with a good reputation, smiled guiltily at Zhu Mai, and said, "Captain Wu Changchun, the judge of the General Army, reported that there was an emergency, so I would like to see Your Highness."
Zhu Cixuan said, "Let him wait and let the two gentlemen come in first." He turned to Zhu Mei again, and saw his sister's lost gaze, and said, "Lu Suyao, go and call Yao Tao and discuss the orphanage with Princess Kunxing, try to be able to raise children and avoid ills. After discussing, we will submit the book to the public."
