Chapter 582 Wen Hao Bo Yuan
Such a turmoil is just around the corner. The emperor’s order to provide pensions and recruit talents will undoubtedly resolve part of the grievances. Scholars will not be able to rebel, but they are still very good at discrediting you in the books and county annals.
How did the later generations know how difficult it was at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty? Master Xianjun.
But Lao Zhu still directly declared that the Imperial Academy’s decree came from the prince. After the decree of recruiting talents was circulated to all the prefectures and counties, countless people would think that the emperor wanted to target and suppress them, and His Highness the prince wanted to protect them.
It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Zhu Biao's reputation will once again usher in a new height. Everyone knows that the only one who can fight against His Majesty the emperor is the prince. The prince moved closer.
People have inherent impressions. For many years, they have been thinking about Zhu Biao's goodness, but after years of time, it will become like this, especially for ordinary people in the local area.
As originally envisioned, Lao Zhu represents the scorching sun shining all over the sky, while Zhu Biao is a big tree that is still growing, and only under the shade of the tree can there be room for people to shade and breathe.
Countless people are crowded under the shade of the tree, and they will naturally try to make the tree thrive faster. They are not only looking forward to the blessing of the shade of the tree, but also looking forward to His turning into the moon and coming to the sky, so that the sun and the moon will turn cloudy and sunny again in this world roundness.
In fact, judging from the results of the imperial examinations in recent years, more and more children of wealthy families are unwilling to take the imperial examinations. Scholars who are not short of food and clothing are naturally unwilling to take the risk of beheading to become an official.
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the back of the chair and said: "Don't be bothered when doing things. Besides, even if we say that this is written by ourselves, they will not be willing to admit it. In that case, it is better to be more straightforward."
After a moment of silence, he looked at his son and said with a smile: "You are good, pass on our Great Ming Dynasty, who would dare to scold us? Even if we kick our legs in the future, the posthumous name of the temple is still up to you, so there is nothing to worry about." .”
"As for the things that will happen thousands of years later, we don't care. Let alone scolding us, so what if we are dug out? It's already a handful of loess."
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "Father has made great achievements in the country and the people, expelling the barbarians, restoring China, setting up guidelines and disciplines, and helping the people, these are easy to say, but in reality, only the father can do it." When it's time to arrive, I really don't want my father's reputation to be ruined by a group of rotten Confucians."
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled a few times and said: "The pen is in the hands of others. What do you want to write for your descendants before you die? Even if we are the emperor, we can't control it, and we can't control it. Let him go. We are very pragmatic and just want them. It's just my life."
Old Zhu obviously didn't want to get entangled in this matter anymore, so he directly brought the topic back to the court: "Let's see in the next few days, Hu Weiyong has waited for so long for the opportunity to come, and he should also take action."
Zhu Biao also turned his mind back: "Hu Weiyong knows that the father of this case wants to make an example of others, so he should continue to bear it. How could he take the initiative to take the bait?"
"It's easy to stay out of things, but who will serve him wholeheartedly if you always hide? Biaoer, don't look at the fact that most of the officials in the Ministry of Education are recommended by Hu Weiyong, and there are four ministers in the six departments who are supported by him. It's really important. Do you think they will follow Hu Weiyong?"
"If we say that we are going to abolish the prime minister now and let Zhongshu Sheng kill Hu Weiyong, it is estimated that only Chen Ning, who is despised by us, is willing to fight hard with him, and the rest will retreat."
Zhu Biao understood that Hu Weiyong seemed powerful, but in fact he was only a strong outsider, and his relationship with his subordinates was only a joint interest, not a life-and-death relationship.
To put it simply, the interests are not deeply involved, and before Hu Weiyong dies, they will inevitably be implicated and die. Hu Weiyong naturally knows this, so he must do this in order to have the capital to face the future. everything.
This is also the path that a powerful minister must go through. In fact, being a powerful minister is difficult or not difficult. In the final analysis, it is to win over a group of trusted talents, and then install these people into important positions in the court.
As long as the court relies on my people to collect taxes and pay food, the court depends on my people to resist foreign aggression, suppresses Qingliu depends on my people, and the emperor wants to build palaces and Nami people rely on my people, then everything will be taken for granted in the end .
In fact, since Li Shanchang was forced to resign and return to his hometown for comfort, Hu Weiyong probably already guessed Lao Zhu's plan. There is still a way out of love with the emperor, but Hu Weiyong does not have that qualification.
So he can only look for opportunities from everywhere. This time the emperor wants to offend the scholars of the world, so it is a good opportunity for Hu Weiyong.
Everyone has become pawns crossing the river and lost their retreat, so they can finally fight with their backs. If you want to live, you must work together, because retreat means death.
Of course, a group of civil servants can't accomplish great things, and Hu Weiyong will continue to wait. When he is waiting for the princes to take over, the princes will inevitably confiscate the military power of the vassals to establish the vassals, which will touch the lives of the nobles. , they are bound to be dissatisfied.
In fact, Hu Weiyong couldn't make any waves at first, but the emperor created opportunities for him, and he had to seize the opportunities to survive, and kept pulling people into the water. This is a conspiracy.
The hall fell silent for a while, the father and son were thinking about each other, and they came back to their senses when the **** who delivered the decree came back and returned to his command.
At this time, the Hanlin Academy is full of joy and encouragement. Regardless of their political status, in all dynasties and generations, Hanlin scholars have always been the group of scholars with the highest status in society, and their status is extremely superior.
As a place to raise talents and store hope, most of them were recruited by the imperial examinations and entered the Imperial Academy. Naturally, in the early morning court, they were successively pleading for forgiveness for Wei Guan, Gao Qi and others. Afterwards, it was too late to regret.
At noon, they heard the news that the Holy Majesty ordered to suspend the dismissal of the imperial examinations. Some people were filled with righteous indignation and prepared to report their interests to the Holy Majesty.
Fortunately, good news finally came. This recruitment article written by His Royal Highness is like sending charcoal in a timely manner. Just reading it, I can't help crying.
The academician of the Imperial Academy recited aloud three times and respectfully placed the rice paper on the desk: "His Royal Highness has a vast and profound text, and his voice is sonorous, like the waves of a spring river, boundless, like flat sand, with tens of thousands of cavalry, Galloping vertically and horizontally, uncontrollable, worthy of being the direct descendant of Song Longmen."
An old man with a bright head below wiped his tears and said: "The mind is elegant, like a Liezi riding the wind, lifting it lightly, not touching the dust, and his speech is elegant, like the Yin Yi Zhou Ding, the dragon's writing is long gone, Your Highness is a genius, even if you are not a prince. For the literary dean."
The rest of the people were even more exaggerated. Such a movement quickly attracted the attention of the rest of the people. Zhu Biao's recruitment article quickly spread throughout the capital on the cusp of this storm, and it also calmed the hearts of countless people.
Although today's harsh criticism of officials overshadows the gentry, but fortunately His Royal Highness has the image of a wise lord, and everyone finally has something to look forward to. Although the Holy Majesty is still in the prime of his spring and autumn, in his early years, the iron horse Jin Ge must have secretly hurt old diseases, and it is a prosperous age Not far away.
The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China naturally got the news, and some people even began to read the content of the article loudly. The atmosphere that had been suppressed for a day relaxed.
Chen Ning walked into the prime minister's house, and Hu Weiyong was at his desk reviewing official documents. In order to uphold the monarch's purpose, the Zhongshu Province is in charge of confidentiality and governs six departments. As the central office of the imperial court, there are naturally some errands that need to be dealt with.
"The next official pays homage to Prime Minister Hu."
Hu Weiyong raised his head and smiled, "Guangzu is here, find a place to sit."
Chen Ning was not polite and directly found a chair and sat down: "Hu Xiangke has read the article written by His Highness? What does the Holy One mean? Why do you want to recruit talents in the name of Your Highness when you want to suppress scholars?"
"Guang Zu really doesn't know? It's nothing more than the fact that the Holy One has a deep love for him, and he took the bad name for himself and the good name for His Highness. It is difficult to find such a father and son in the history books."
