Young Gu Yanwu trotted over and saluted, "I've met the young master."
Tang Yin's fan was thrown away with a 'swish' sound. Li Yunze, who was fanning like this in this spring day, said, "Tell Shi Kefa and the others how to be parents and how to deal with thieves."
"yes."
Gu Yanwu, who was young but had extraordinary magnanimity, immediately clasped his fists and saluted the many students, "Brothers, I have made a fool of myself."
Everyone returned the greeting "My loyal and virtuous brother, please."
"I'll listen to my wise brother's words."
There are indeed nerds who are stupid because of reading. Those who may appear here at this time basically do not exist.
A shrewd person has already figured out Li Yunze's identity by himself or guessed it from his companions.
Although it has been more than two hundred years since Zhu Yuanzhang designated the three colors of red, yellow and purple as exclusive for the royal family, the restrictions on the use of colors have been very relaxed.
But the bright yellow color is still undoubtedly reserved for the royal family.
In this capital city, looking at the strong guards around him, Li Yunze's identity can be easily revealed.
In front of him, apart from other things, you must be careful about your demeanor and not leave an arrogant impression.
Donglin's influence is great, but there are so many scholars in the Ming Dynasty that they cannot all be from Donglin.
Li Yunze attacked everyone in Donglin, and many scholars clapped and applauded.
"If you are a parent, you should serve the sage's court to ensure that taxes, taxes, and corvee are not missed. Next, you should serve the common people and clear the lawsuit... When there is a famine, you should work hard to provide disaster relief. If the amount is confirmed, ask the sage's court to reduce taxes, taxes, and servitude. Worry about what the people can do, and what the sage’s court wants.”
Gu Yanwu, who was only eighteen years old, stood upright and talked eloquently, "If thieves come to the city, the people should be mobilized to defend the city. The wealthy merchants in the city will donate money. The soldiers and archers will lead the people to defend the city and fight the thieves to the end!"
Li Yunze waved his fan noncommittally, "What if I can't hold on?"
"If we can't hold on," Gu Yanwu paused for a moment, with a somewhat tragic expression, "Immediately burn the seal and sue, and set fire to the official warehouse. Don't let the imperial supplies fall into the hands of thieves."
"If you are my minister, my minister..." Gu Yanwu looked excited, his eyes filled with tears and he clenched his fists hard, "I must use this body to raise my sword into the thieves and serve the saint!"
There was silence among the buildings, and an inexplicable atmosphere slowly flowed.
Many students looked generous, as if they wished they could die for the country right now.
Regarding these, Li Yunze was emotionally stable.
Of course it sounds simple, but there are only a few people at home and abroad who can actually do this.
When the Ming Dynasty fell, there were indeed many loyal ministers who died for the country, but more of them were still groveling and surrendering to the Chuang and the Qing Dynasties. In the end, several domestic slaves of several surnames were retained.
"Hahaha~~" Li Yunze smiled and raised his fan and pointed it at Gu Yanwu, then turned to look at Sun Zhixian behind him, "Sun Qing family, what do you think of this person?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately identified his identity.
Gu Yanwu immediately bowed down and saluted, and the scholars in the building woke up and followed him one after another.
Sun Zhixie, who had a goatee and a goatee, saluted respectfully, "Long live this son. This son is a material that can be built."
There were many treacherous ministers in the late Ming Dynasty, but among them, Sun Zhixian was undoubtedly the best.
Even compared to him, Hong Chengchou was slightly inferior.
One of the things this person is most famous for is writing letters to the Tartars...
The famous '...' can be said to have originated from his mouth.
At this time, the Chinese tradition is that 'the hair and skin of the body are received by the parents and do not dare to be damaged, which is the beginning of filial piety'.
More than tens of millions of Ming people died because of this.
Such a vicious thief certainly wants to live a good life. . .
"Sun Qing's words are very kind." Li Yunze smiled and nodded, stood up and walked to Gu Yanwu, handing him the fan in his hand, "I'll give this to you."
Gu Yanwu leaned over and saluted, "Thank you, saint."
"Take exams well and review the laws of the Ming Dynasty. As a parent, why don't you know the laws?"
Many students' eyes were bright, and they were secretly preparing to buy books and memorize them later.
Li Yunze, who saw the changes in everyone's expressions, laughed secretly, "It's not enough to just memorize the Ming Dynasty Laws. All that comes out are cases." You have to know how to use it. '
Before going downstairs, he told Gu Yanwu, "Your word... is not right, this word..., change it."
After Li Yunze left with his people, many scholars rushed forward to greet Gu Yanwu.
There is no doubt that this young man Gu Yanwu has fallen into the eyes of the saint.
As long as you don't write something like "Old Zhu's family are all idiots" on the examination paper, it is inevitable to be named on the gold list.
Shi Kefa, who looked a little lonely, stepped back sadly, looking enviously at Gu Yanwu, who was praised by everyone.
He felt that he was not bad, but it was a pity that he could not catch the eyes of the saint.
When everyone was making noises and asking Gu Yanwu to treat him, Shi Kefa simply turned around and went downstairs and left the Zhuangyuan Building.
The sun was shining brightly today, but Shi Kefa's heart was filled with clouds.
Walking on the road was a bit confusing.
"Oh~~~"
As expected, he bumped into someone.
Seeing that the man who was hit was wearing Confucian clothes, Shi Kefa hurriedly saluted, "I have offended you, I hope you can forgive me."
Although the visitor was wearing Confucian clothes, his complexion was dark and rough, and he looked as if he had just come out of a construction site.
He smiled bitterly in return, "Brother, there's no need to be like this. I'm just being rude."
After some humility, the two got to know each other.
"The auspicious talisman can be traced back to history."
"Huating Chen Zilong."
"Eh? Isn't it Mr. Yifu who is your honor?"
"Ashamed." Chen Zilong waved his hands repeatedly, "I am young and ignorant, and I talk nonsense about state affairs. Fortunately, I am so kind that I can come to Beijing to take part in the imperial examination."
When Li Yunze went to Jiangnan, he participated in the affair of betraying the society and was sentenced to serve in the army.
Li Yunze felt pity for his performance of martyrdom for his country in history, and did not strip him of his Confucian uniform. He even sent someone to bring him back to participate in the scientific examination.
Chen Zilong, who has been moving bricks on the construction site for more than half a year, has a deep understanding of the suffering of the people.
The arrogance on his body has been washed away, and he no longer has the frivolity of the famous Jiangnan officials before. His whole person is as humble and polite as a new man.
Shi Kefa, who was still worried about the Zhuangyuan Tower incident, immediately warmly invited Chen Zilong to a roadside wine shop for a drink, mainly to inquire about the emperor's ideas when he was in Jiangnan.
Since I came to participate in Enke, I naturally didn’t want to go on a round trip.
Shi Kefa wanted to know more about the emperor's concerns.
In this regard, Chen Zilong does have a say.
When he was serving in the corvee, he truly experienced the hardships of the world firsthand, which was far beyond the comparison of those scholars who only knew how to study hard in a cold window.
The more the two chatted, the more they became more and more congenial. After a drink, they became foolish brothers and wise brothers.
Li Yunze, who returned to the palace, entertained Sun Zhixian and Hong Chengchou in the imperial study.
"My two beloved ministers are presiding over this scientific examination to select talents for the country. You must be serious and responsible, and you must not do anything for personal gain."
Hong Chengchou is now the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and Sun Zhixian is the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Taking charge of Enke's affairs is a suitable position.
"The questions have been prepared." He picked up a paper and handed it to Wang Chengen. "You should keep it properly and do not disclose it."
As the chief examiner, Hong Chengchou took the paper from Wang Chengen and saluted respectfully, "I will live up to Long Live's trust. I dare not slack off when selecting talents for the country."
"Go ahead."
Narrowing his eyes and watching the two people leaving, Li Yunze rubbed his chin, "If you are, it would save me trouble. Who can withstand three thousand swords?"
After withdrawing his thoughts and looking at the thick stack of memorials placed on the table, Li Yunze began to scratch his head.
We have to deal with a lot of official business every day, which consumes a lot of time and energy.
I really want to be a foolish king, stay in the Forbidden City all day long, eat, drink, have fun and play hide and seek, wouldn't it be wonderful?
“This sense of responsibility has no place~~~”
Li Yunze let out a long sigh and reached out to pick up the top memorial. "What's important today?"
At this time, the Ming Dynasty cabinet had been completely eliminated by Li Yunze using various means.
Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting were all sent to other places by him, and they were only in name in the cabinet.
The remaining ones were either Wen Tiren, who took the blame for the emperor, or Xu Guangqi, who was unwilling to do anything.
During the Zhang Juzheng period, the cabinet was close to having the power of the prime minister. Only now can they truly return to their original position.
Specially responsible for sorting and filtering memorials from various places, it only has the right to make suggestions but not decision-making.
The most striking feature is that the memorial placed at the top no longer contains the cabinet opinions posted on the memorial, which is also commonly known as the 'ballot draft'.
What was even worse than the cabinet was Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was responsible for the rituals and eunuch Bingbi.
In the past, when the Ming Emperor reviewed memorials, most of them only reviewed a few volumes symbolically, and the rest were all ghostwritten by the eunuch Bingbi.
When things get even more exaggerated, they don't even bother asking, and leave everything to eunuch Bingbi for review.
The reason why the great eunuchs are able to dominate the government is because they have mastered the red pen and red.
If you replace the cabinet with your own people, it will become a matter of reporting and making decisions by one person. This is the case at Nine Thousand Years.
On the other hand, the same goes for the cabinet boss making good friends with the palace eunuch, as was the case with Zhang Juzheng.
This is how you control the government.
Now Li Yunze has taken back all his rights and insists on reviewing and correcting the memorials by himself.
Of course what he paid was time and energy.
"Your Majesty." Wang Cheng'en responded respectfully, "Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, has written a memorial, saying that there is a severe drought in Shaanxi, and there will be no connection between the green and the yellow. There are Wang Er, Wang Daliang and other thieves in Yan'an Prefecture and other places. After the thieves gathered together, they were named the Thirty-sixth Battalion. We recommend Wang Jiayin, the leader of thieves, as the leader."
"Governor Sun has personally led his troops to suppress the attack. He has submitted a petition to the imperial court to allocate money and food for soldiers and horses and money and food for disaster relief."
Opening Sun Chuanting's memorial, there is a lot of content in it, and it can be estimated to be hundreds or even thousands of words.
The core content inside is 'It's an emergency, we need support.
"I've given him so much." Li Yunze held the memorial, sighed and smiled, "Forget it, it's better than rogue bandits rushing out of Shaanxi and causing trouble in the Central Plains."
Historically, the rogue bandits from Shaanxi rushed into the Central Plains and turned the Central Plains into a white land. They suffered countless losses in population and material and laid the foundation for the downfall of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Sun Chuanting has repeatedly asked for money and food since arriving in Shaanxi, he seemed to treat Li Yunze's place as Doraemon's pocket.
But in order to prevent rogue bandits from breaking into the Central Plains, Li Yunze could only send money and food over again.
"We will allocate 800,000 taels of internal funds, 100,000 bolts of cloth, and 2 million dan of grain to Sun Chuanting."
Sun Chuanting is not short of money now, he is short of food.
In years of famine, as long as there is food, some people will join the army or join the bandits.
Write the reply on the memorial and give it to Wang Chengen.
The current eunuch in charge of the ceremony is Cao Huachun, but he is only in name, and his main job is still in Dongchang.
Therefore, the seal is kept by Wang Chengen.
It was sealed in front of the emperor, then closed and sent back to the cabinet. After the cabinet signed it, it could be officially sent out for execution.
He casually picked up the second memorial, opened it and read it for a while. Li Yunze sat up straight and slapped his hand on the table.
"What a courage!"
Wang Chengen on the side lowered his head while holding his breath, pretending that he didn't exist.
The content of this memorial is that Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, impeached the right minister of the Ministry of War, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, wanted to kill the minister!
