"Ha ha ha ha!"
In the Yangxin Hall, Zhu Yijun laughed loudly while holding the silver medal in his hand. Pan Sheng, Liang Wenmeng and others standing at the bottom were delighted when they saw Long Yan, and the corners of their mouths also showed smiles.
Pan Sheng bowed and joked: "Your Majesty, I heard that many new newspapers in the south put it on the front page, calling it 'sweeping the floor'. The Guangzhou literary mob has suffered a big loss this time."
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he chuckled and said with a smile: "Cai Ruxian can really figure it out. I haven't laughed like this in a long time."
After reading the memorial, he said: "At that time, there were noisy gongs and drums. Outside the Confucius Temple, there were more than ten small troupes of monkey opera three, elephant opera two, and Cantonese opera. There were also women from brothels with slogans such as "selling literature to seek wealth" and "selling crying to seek support", etc. There are countless banners... When someone cries inside the temple, everyone outside the temple laughs. Before the "Crying in the Temple" is finished reading, all the people come out with their faces changed, their expressions change and their spirits become depressed... Immediately, more than ten of the leaders were arrested and interrogated, and they were transferred to Tiexue for questioning, and some of them had their honors and titles taken away... The matter was settled."
After reading this paragraph, Zhu Yijun threw the memorial on the table and laughed again. When Liang Wenmeng heard that he read "Ti Xue", he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this matter was caused by Ling Shihong's attack on the literary gangster - I thought this was someone who dared to take the responsibility." Zhu Yijun was in a very happy mood. Okay, he nodded again after hearing this.
Liang Wenmeng then said: "Cai Ruxian even asked for credit for Ling Shihong for this matter, saying that he was mature and responsible, and recommended him to be the dean of Nanjing University——"
Zhu Yijun frowned when he heard him talk about personnel issues. Seeing this, Pan Sheng interrupted Liang and asked Meng: "Jingzhai, the director of Nanjing University is not a trivial matter. You have only been in the job for a few days? This is not something you should say."
When Zhu Yijun heard this, his eyes rolled on Pan Sheng's face. He chuckled and said: "You don't have to sing a harmony. Mr. Jingzhai was appointed as the minister. I can't refute his face. So Ling Shihong will send him to Nanjing!"
When Liang Wenmeng heard the emperor's words, his heart tumbled. Feeling excited about the emperor's trust, but also unwilling to accept personal feelings for some reason, he echoed in a daze: "I am just paraphrasing Governor Cai's words. After all, the mention of learning is also a matter of literature and education. I originally intended to take advantage of it, but it is not I agree with Cai Ruxian's suggestion - the emperor does not need to give this face to me." Standing aside, Wei Chao saw Liang Wenmeng telling the truth to the point of incoherence, his eyes drooped, and he tried hard to hold back laughter.
Pan Sheng also shouted at Qu: "I don't dare to deceive you! This Ling Shihong has nothing to do with me! - I thought that Cai Ruxian recommended him as the mountain chief of Nanjing University because he was afraid that he would cause trouble in Guangdong."
Zhu Yijun was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter. He said: "That's the case, that's it. As for the candidate for the mountain chief of Nanjing University, Jingzhai discussed with the officials and came up with a candidate - Ling Shihong's resume will be reported together, and I will consider it."
When Liang asked about Meng's order, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "When Cai Ruxian was in Beijing, his thinking was not so broad."
Pan Sheng nodded in agreement and said: "This must be written by the Sui Dynasty." Seeing the questioning look on the emperor's face, Pan Sheng continued: "The Sui Dynasty Yongnai ranked 260th in the second year of Longqing's reign. He was originally ranked second in the imperial examination. During the palace examination Because of his erratic writing, the late emperor disliked him and deposed more than 200 people. He worked as an official and in government, and often made people laugh and cry. He is now the prefect of Guangzhou. "
Zhu Yijun looked solemn at first, then showed a playful smile and said: "The second year of Longqing, hehe."
Pan Sheng saw sweat on his forehead, lowered his head and said nothing. It has been twenty years since the second year of Longqing. This year was the year when Emperor Longqing and the civil servants headed by Xu Jie had a fight - the "Longqing switch" was also in this year.
In this year's scientific examination, Luo Wanhua was the top scorer in the imperial examination, but his ranking in the general examination was 351st; Huang Fengxiang, second place in the general examination, was 226th; Zhao Zhigao, the top candidate in the general examination, was Ranked 77th in the examination. There was not a single person among the top three in the palace examination who came first in the examination. It was Emperor Longqing who was gradually familiar with government affairs and made a political statement that he wanted to monopolize power.
However, Emperor Longqing only rose to prominence this time. After that, his body could not bear the heavy government affairs, and his power continued to fall by the wayside. At this time, Zhu Yijun said "the second year of Longqing". Liang Wenmeng didn't know why, but Pan Sheng knew what the emperor was referring to, so he naturally thought more.
Mentioning the second year of Longqing, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but start thinking and asked Pan Sheng: "Do Huang Fengxiang and Zhao Zhigao have any official positions now?"
Pan Sheng replied: "Huang Fengxiang is now the Secretary of the Nanjing Imperial College, and Zhao Zhigao is the Prime Minister of Nanjing Taipu Temple."
The emperor snorted, then sighed and said: "I remember that when Prince Zhongxing was appointed Prime Minister, these two Shangshu objected."
Liang Wenmeng also understood this sentence, and the two generals, Pan Sheng, lowered their heads again. He was extremely frightened as he thought - back then he also wanted to go to court to object, but was later persuaded by his old wife. The saying "If a good wife is at home, nothing will happen to the husband", it is so true! I have never had any concubines in my life, and I have done a very good job!
Now that Prince Zhongxing has been buried long ago, the emperor still pointed out two people who had different political views with him - showing how deep the grudge left in the emperor's heart by the former opponents of the reform was. Huang Fengxiang and Zhao Zhigao were in the same class as Luo Wanhua, and they used to be ranked second in the top rankings. However, compared with Luo Wanhua, who had already entered the pavilion, one of them was ranked fourth and the other was ranked sixth. Unless something unexpected happens, these two people have no hope of ever making it to the center of the empire, which is really a shame.
However, he, a top-ranked Jinshi, was now a second-ranked minister. At this moment, Liang Wenmeng suddenly realized an official truth - the route was the decisive issue. If you stand on the right path, you will rise to the top; if you stand on the wrong path, even if you have the talent of being the number one scholar, you will be ignored by everyone.
While I was thinking wildly, I heard the emperor on the throne say: "Cai Ruxian is good. Sui Yong has bad ideas, but he dares to use them."
Pan Sheng said with a smile: "Yes. Cai Ruxian has a nickname called 'Cai Er'er'. When he was in the Ministry of Household Affairs, whenever something could not be resolved, he would call a meeting with all his subordinates to choose good strategies and accept them. He is very good at being an official."
Zhu Yijun picked up Cai Ruxian's silver medal and said with a smile: "He will be an official. Sui Yong didn't mention it to him, but he praised Ling Shihong to the sky." After saying this, he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Liang Wenmeng also joined in and said: "When I was in the local area, I also behaved like this. Those who are easy to use and powerful should be suppressed and kept for my own use; those who are thorny and honest should be recommended to be promoted and go far away to avoid unnecessary trouble." It’s causing trouble and being an eyesore, but you can do it without offending others.”
Wei Chao, who was standing at the foot of the throne with his head bowed, was simply completely defeated by Liang Wenmeng. He couldn't help laughing until his waist was slightly bent. In the late autumn weather, Pan Sheng was so sweaty that he was so stunned that he couldn't help but glare at this guy.
Zhu Yijun didn't see Pan Sheng's little move, and Liang Wenmeng's words directly spoke to his heart. He sighed and said, "Jingzhai is right. Those who are capable cannot be used, but those who are not able to serve as officials are rising rapidly. This is the biggest problem in the administration of officials."
