My Brother-in-law is the Prince - Chapter 416

Zhu Di sat upright, leaning slightly in the Wenlou.

When he met the ministers just now, he didn’t show his true nature.

But now, there is a bit of vigilance.

“Your Majesty.” Yi Shiha said: “The tea is cold, servant girl go change it.”

The hall, which had been too quiet just now, finally had a little life.

Usually, if the tea is cold, Yishiha will change it quietly.

But when he said this at this time, he actually discovered Zhu Di’s abnormality, but he just wanted to pick up an excuse.

As he spoke, he went to pack the teacups.

Zhu Di said: “No need. Xie Jin…I never thought he was still alive.”

As soon as these words came out, Yi Shiha suddenly understood something, he lowered his head slightly and said: “Your servant understands.”

Zhu Di glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, “What do you understand?”

Yi Shiha said: “Slaves… will deal with it properly.”

Zhu Di waved his hand and said: “He is now the Changshi of King Zhao, and he came to the capital under the order of King Zhao. How do you deal with it?”

Yi Shiha hurriedly said: “Your servant will die.”

Zhu Di said indifferently: “Recently, many people have been arrested, but I know better than anyone else that no matter how many people I arrest or kill, I will not be able to solve the resentment of scholars in the world. There are hundreds of thousands in the two capitals and thirteen provinces. Scholars and gentry, have I killed them all?”

After a pause, Zhu Di said: “This Xie Jin… has too much reputation. In the eyes of others, I have treated him badly. Moreover, this person is smart. If he has a different heart, he will be difficult to deal with.”

Yi Shiha said: “Let Jin Yiwei…”

Zhu Di shook his head directly: “Zhang Anshi, it seems that you still haven’t seen him clearly. He is still too kind. Don’t look at the outside world saying that he killed innocent people indiscriminately, but I know him. If there is no real crime, otherwise he will We will never easily frame and frame people, or kill people easily.”

Yi Shiha thought for a while and said: “Then the servants will come…”

Zhu Di still shook his head: “Let’s wait and see, Xie Jin… After all, he is just one person. If this person can cause trouble, it is because some people in the world are unwilling.”

Paused, Zhu Di said again: “Yang Qing’s family is still right. Instead of worrying about the scholars and gentry in the thirteen provinces, it is better to focus on Zhili and persuade the people in Zhili to study more.”

“Reading?” Yi Shi Hamu was puzzled.

He didn’t understand why he was talking about reading again.

Zhu Di smiled and said: “Emperor Taizu Gao hated these scholars and gentry back then, and killed many of them, but in the end, he still gave them preferential treatment. What do you think is the reason? Is Emperor Gao benevolent? ? Or is it because Emperor Taizu Gao was educated by them?”

Zhu Di asked himself and answered honestly: “No, it’s just because…there is nothing to do with them. I, Ming, can’t let illiterate people become officials, and it’s impossible to let warriors rule the world. If they are all eradicated, who will control the people?” Woolen cloth?

Yi Shiha opened his eyes slightly, and said with a look of sudden enlightenment: “I understand, only Zhili has more and more scholars. In the future…these scholars trained by the New Deal can be used to treat the officials of the thirteen provinces. Instead.”

“It can be said like this.” Zhu Di said: “Zhang Anshi reported that among the people who accompanied Huang Sun to make a statement this time, there were more than 2,300 scholars, many of whom were responsible for organizing, transmitting letters, and preaching. Among them, there are 372 scholars who have achieved fame. It can be seen that not all scholars are opposed to the New Deal. And growth can be of great use.”

Yi Shiha sincerely said: “Your Majesty has far-reaching considerations.”

Zhu Di shook his head: “It’s not that I have far-reaching thoughts, it’s Yang Qing’s words that woke me up.”

“Mr. Yang… usually speaks little, but these days, he often takes the initiative to offer advice.”

Zhu Di smiled and continued: “This is a man of great wisdom. He is reticent on weekdays and wise to protect himself. Whenever he encounters a good opportunity, he will offer his strategy. This man…it seems that he has never said anything good about the New Deal before.”

Yi Shiha couldn’t help but said: “Could it be…he saw that the New Deal has improved, so…”

Zhu Di shook his head: “Such a person will not temporarily change his ambitions and wishes. He may compromise on small things, but once a major event occurs, he will never change just because he caught some rogue party.” My own strategy. The only possibility is that this person has never had any ill feeling towards the New Deal, and has been secretly observing whether the New Deal is good or bad, and gradually becomes interested in the New Deal, but…if the time is not ripe, he will never take it easy Put forward your own suggestions, and only when the right time comes, will you present your views and suggestions on the New Deal.”

“It’s like his suggestion to focus only on the Zhili New Deal. If two years earlier, under the rule of Zhili, how many scholars were related to the New Deal? If he made this suggestion, what’s the use? Now, it’s called today. The time is different from the past, and the time is ripe for the Zhili New Deal to move the world, so he took advantage of the situation and put forward his own opinions.”

Yi Shiha listened, and said: “Old and prudent, with a strategy in mind, slaves are far behind him.”

Zhu Di laughed, raised his finger, pointed at him and said: “You are a slave, how can you compare with him.”

Yi Shiha was not angry, and said frankly: “But this servant is more loyal than him, and has a deeper heart than him.”

These words immediately penetrated into Zhu Di’s heart, and Zhu Di nodded in agreement.

Zhu Di slowly picked up the teacup on the imperial table, took a sip of tea, and then said: “Just wait and see, in a few days, this Yang Qing will write a letter explaining his new policy proposals. When we met just now, From what he said, it is clear that he has his own views on the New Deal, and he has already thought it through carefully. Then, it must not be as simple as just a few words.”

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he waved to Yi Shiha, and then continued to fall into deep thought.

Yi Shiha understood tacitly, and silently withdrew.

But in the evening, Yi Shiha suddenly came with a memorial, and said, “Your Majesty, Duke Yang has a memorial.”

After hearing this, Zhu Di’s eyes flashed brightly, and then he said: “I thought it would be a few days later, who would have thought that it would be so early!”

Immediately, Zhu Di took his seat steadily, took the memorial, looked down slightly, and saw that the memorial read: “Zhili Encourages Learning”.

When Zhu Di saw these five characters, he kept a straight face and opened it gently to read.

In this memorial, a set of educational methods for the entire Zhili was systematically proposed.

What Yang Rong hopes is to establish an officially recognized education system, which must be different from the local school administration.

At the same time, throughout Zhili, academic officials are still set up, and the responsibilities of these academic officials are no longer mainly based on the traditional imperial examination officials. In addition, there are certain rewards for those who are eager to learn and have achieved something in their studies.

Besides, all the students recruited by each school need to make a book in the school administration office, make a student status, standardize each subject, and at the same time quote a group of talents required by the New Deal and confer honorary positions.

In order to encourage students to enter school, especially for outstanding young talents, if they are successful in their studies and can achieve outstanding results in the joint examinations of various schools, in order to reduce the burden on their families, they can order the school officials to exempt tuition fees, or provide Lumi rewards .

As for the detailed rules inside, there are thousands of words, and it is definitely not something that can be written in a day.

There are many things that need to be considered in it, all of which have been considered.

Student status proves the identity, so as not to mix good and bad, or some scholars who come out of elementary schools cannot obtain diplomas and do not have proof of study. In terms of employment, it is inevitable to be confused.

At the same time, it can also prevent the schools from being different, the knowledge taught is too confusing, set up various subjects, and at the same time manage some schools to a certain extent, and avoid people bluffing and defrauding in the name of the school.

In view of the need to encourage more common people’s children to enter school, rewards can also make common people more willing to send their children to school.

Zhu Di took it very seriously. After all, he was only good at making decisions and disliked tedious administrative affairs, but Yang Rong thought about the situation everywhere.

The purpose of this memorial is very simple, that is to increase the possibility of reading for the military and civilians as much as possible.

On the other hand, it also standardized schools everywhere.

Moreover, it is best to link the education of the school with the New Deal, so that these scholars can be used by the court after studying in the future.

Zhu Di looked at it, frowned deeply, and couldn’t help saying: “It seems that Yang Qing… has worked **** the education and politics in Zhili.”

“How did Your Majesty see it?” Yi Shiha asked curiously.

Zhu Di said: “In this memorial, the specific number of scholars in Zhili and the number of schools are mentioned, and even many examples are mentioned. If you don’t pay enough attention to Zhili’s academic politics, it is absolutely impossible to transfer these things , I made it casually. I am afraid that Yang Qing had already planned for a rainy day two years ago and secretly searched for information about this study and politics.”

Yi Shiha listened, and was speechless immediately.

He couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. If he knew this, he should have paid attention to this matter. In this way, now, he can show his hand in front of His Majesty.

In theory, this Yang Rong can indeed be called foresight.

Yi Shiha suddenly remembered something at this time, and said immediately: “By the way, Your Majesty, this servant has just received a report from Dongchang, saying that… Xie Jin’s boat has arrived at Songjiangkou.”

After Zhu Di listened, he just pursed his lips and did not respond.

Although the news from Java was delivered by the Clippers, basically, the news from the Clippers was not much faster than Xie Jin.

Xie Jin’s ship is also a cruise ship.

Due to the increasingly close ties between Daming and the overseas feudal vassals, the vassal kings brought with them a large number of family members and attendants, and tens of thousands of households often migrated.

And these people, after all, still have a lot of old memories in Daming. They are in other places, and they miss their relatives and friends more deeply, so letters are exchanged very frequently. In addition, there are also some items that are in great demand for gifts.

Under such circumstances, many shipping companies have launched the business of mailing ships, sending letters and packages that need to be mailed from Java, Annan, Xinzhou, Luzon and other places back to the mainland of Daming, while loading a large amount of mail. , You can also take advantage of this to do some passenger ship business, so… on the route between Daming and these places, there are cruise ships entering and leaving the port almost every seven or eight days.

Xie Jin went to Songjiang Estuary to disembark. In fact, he was not very old at this time, but he was already weather-beaten, and his complexion was much darker.

He came to the post station in Huating County to stay temporarily. Local scholars and gentry, when they heard that Xie Jin had arrived, they came to visit one after another.

Looking at the many people in shawls and Confucian shirts, they came one after another.

Xie Jin didn’t dare to neglect, listening to their words of condolence, Xie Jin couldn’t help crying.

It has been six years. In the past six years, he is in a foreign land, thousands of miles away, like a floating duckweed. Everything he can go to is buried in his heart, and he still remembers it firmly.

Now, finally returned to this place, it is inevitable to choke up, everything that was once familiar has long gone, but now, it suddenly appears in front of my eyes, suspiciously like a dream.

That night, with all kinds of emotions, I talked with people all night.

On the next day, they had to start, and then went to Zhenjiang, and then entered Nanjing City from Zhenjiang.

He is Chang Shi, and also the envoy of King Zhao. Naturally, the first thing he did was to go to the Ministry of Rites to submit the memorial to King Zhao.

However, the memorial was handed over, but the emperor did not immediately issue an order to summon it.

But when he stayed at Honglu Temple, the people who came to visit him were like crucian carp crossing the river.

In the capital city, after a petition, among the officials, although many were not involved in the case, there were also some who were critical of the New Deal.

And scholars, not to mention.

Almost everyone felt a heavy heart.

Xie Jin’s return to Beijing finally made them feel somewhat relieved.

Of course, the consolation is only temporary. Everyone knows that His Majesty has alienated Jin.

The era of Xie Jin and Xie Jin has passed.

After a few more days, the decree came, and Xie Jin was ordered to meet with him when he arrived at the court meeting.

The emperor did not meet him privately, but only arranged to meet him during the court meeting, because envoys from various vassal states were allowed to attend the court meeting.

It can be seen from this that the emperor has no affection for Xie Jin, and only treats him as an ordinary envoy of the vassal state.

On this day, hundreds of officials gathered.

Zhang Anshi had already arrived, he was the first to enter the palace, and went to see Zhu Di first.

Zhu Di took Yang Rong’s memorabilia and showed it to him, and asked him to delete and modify it as appropriate.

Zhang Anshi only glanced roughly, and then said: “I will turn around and let the Changshi Mansion sort it out again.”

Zhu Di nodded: “That’s very good.”

Zhang Anshi said at this time: “I have one more thing…”

Zhu Di said: “Speak up.”

Zhang An Shidao: “The secretary of the Changshifu, Zuo Yuqian, is a steady, loyal and reliable man. This time, I will also follow my ministers to the pilgrimage.”

The Changshi Mansion of the county king is equivalent to a whole set of institutions. The official positions in it are different in size, such as Changshi, Sima, Chief Bookkeeper, Gongcao, Recorder, Bingcao, Shuzuo, Gatekeeper and other official positions. Zhang Anshi has not asked Zhu Di for a long time. I have recommended talents, and now suddenly a mere clerk suddenly mentioned it.

Hearing this name, Zhu Di seemed to think of something interesting, he smiled and said: “Oh, it’s a Juren, who refused to take up a job with you at first, but you asked me to make a decree, so he was relentless.” The one you want to come?”

There was a moment of embarrassment on Zhang Anshi’s face, and then he said: “Exactly.”

Zhu Di smiled and said: “Alright, it’s rare for you to appreciate someone, so recommend him with all your heart, so let’s cultivate him well. What are the strengths of this person?”

Only then did Zhang Anshi look calm, and said: “On weekdays, he can be a secretary or a meritorious service, but if the country is in danger, such a person must be the one who helps the building in the near future and turns the tide from the downfall. .”

This evaluation was too exaggerated for Zhu Di. He didn’t say much about it, but smiled and said, “It’s getting late…it’s time to go to court.”

After speaking, Zhu Di rushed to Chongwen Hall and was promoted to his seat.

Long live Baiguanshan.

Changshi Fushu Zuo Yuqian could only stand outside the hall.

Yes, there are not many people who are qualified to be in the hall. Most of the ministers only listen to the announcement outside the hall. Occasionally, they can hear some performances between the emperor and the ministers from the hall.

But he quickly noticed a person.

Yu Qian is the secretary of the Changshi Mansion of the county king. In fact, in theory, he also belongs to the foreign ministers. Of course, he is with the vassals of the vassal king.

And there was one person who quickly attracted everyone’s attention.

Even Qianqian saw that many people looked at this person with admiration.

Until someone muttered the word Xie Jin.

Yu Qian’s heart skipped a beat, and then he involuntarily looked at Xie Jin.

You must know that Xie Jin is definitely an idol for the vast majority of scholars.

If the world’s scholars were ignorant boys and girls, then at this moment, I’m afraid there will be countless people hugging Xie Jin and shouting giegie.

Xie Jin’s expression was very calm at this time. Obviously he didn’t sleep well last night, so he looked very tired at this time.

And Yu Qian is also a calm person, but he didn’t secretly go to see Xie Jin like others. After just a glance, he was shocked and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

At this time, the **** inside shouted: “Xuanzhao Wangfu Chief Shi sees you.”

As soon as this remark came out, Xie Jin began to straighten his clothes, and then entered the palace with great emotion.

“Chen Xie Jin has met His Majesty, long live my emperor.”

Everyone’s attention fell on Xie Jin.

Even Zhang Anshi looked at him carefully. After all, this is an old acquaintance, and they have dealt with each other in the past.

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin, and said calmly: “Is King Zhao all right?”

“Your Majesty, King Zhao is ill.”

As soon as this remark came out.

All the people in the hall had weird faces.

Zhao Wang is Zhu Di’s youngest son, and now he is thousands of miles away. Xie Jin’s sentence is wrong, and he doesn’t follow the routine at all.

If King Zhao was really ill, someone would definitely send him to the palace immediately, and it is impossible to wait for the envoy to see him before telling him.

If it’s just a minor illness and nothing serious, then as a messenger, logically speaking, it should be concealed, because after all, it’s just a minor illness and shouldn’t worry Father Jun.

So, if Zhu Di hadn’t received an urgent report before, Xie Jin’s standard answer now should be that Zhao Wang is safe.

The people in this palace are not human beings. Just hearing this, they immediately understand that something is going to happen, and someone is going to make trouble.

Zhu Di said: “What’s wrong?”

Xie Jin said: “Heart disease.”

Zhu Di: “…”
