There are still ten days left before the palace examination, so there is no need to decide all the candidates for the examiners right now.
This time I am proposing the candidate for the file reader.
Zhu Houcong remained calm when he heard that Mao Ji recommended Yang Tinghe's younger brother Yang Tingyi as the right minister of the Ministry of War.
Among the six ministers, apart from Yuan Zonggao, only Zhang Zilin, the minister of punishment, was nominated.
In addition, Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji selected a certain left minister, right minister, or someone with the title of bachelor of ministers or lecturers in the Hanlin Academy.
Of course, Yang Tinghe also specially recommended Yan Song and Liu Long.
There is still some clear meaning. Wang Qiong, the ministers who were impeached that day, are not qualified to serve as file readers?
Liang Chu then proposed Wang Qiong, Zhang Bi, and Xie Changjie without hesitation, and the cabinet meeting broke out.
After first advocating the posthumous title of Yu Qian, Liang Chu gained a lot of confidence.
Faced with the controversy over the right to speak over the candidates for the lecturing officials within the cabinet, Jiang Mian has remained silent.
Yan Song saw it: Although these people were still there, just because there was a different emperor, the structure of the cabinet was completely different from before.
"I will remember all the people you have recommended, and then I will decide on the candidates."
As for the policy topic, Zhu Houcong also disappointed Yang Tinghe.
No rumors were revealed. The matter was revealed without any haste, and he would ask the Japanese official for advice if he had any questions, which made Yan Song extremely happy and Yang Tinghe worried.
The first cabinet meeting attended by the emperor began to feel like a formality. Yang Tinghe originally had high hopes and hoped to discuss some major practical matters.
Quickly deciding on the posthumous title for Yu Qian is just an appetizer. What is the strategy for resetting the three major camps later? What about eunuch power? How to double your annual income?
The emperor learned the trick of procrastination. He seemed to be waiting for the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army to come up with their strategy. He might also be waiting for Yang Yiqing, Fei Hong and others to enter the capital.
Yang Tinghe, who returned to his mansion, was very sad.
Did they agree that the emperor and his ministers would work together to reform the evils and make new ones?
The thank you note was written in such an urgent manner, but after he ascended the throne, he kept saying things like "This is a big deal" and "You can't shake the spoon", which were sometimes cautious and sometimes escapist.
How highly regarded were other important ministers of the auxiliary country at the beginning of the new dynasty?
Yang Tinghe received only superficial respect, and was even stepped on in the beginning.
He was going into depression.
"Father, Yan Weizhong is visiting."
Yang Shen took a invitation and walked into the flower hall where Yang Tinghe met his friends.
Yang Tinghe concentrated his energy, took it in his hand and said: "Please come quickly!"
Seeing that his son was about to ask the butler to greet him, Yang Tinghe immediately frowned and said, "You and Wei Zhong are both in the Hanlin Academy. You should greet him in person!"
Yang Shen acknowledged him with a smile, picked up the train of his robe and walked out.
Yang Tinghe sighed softly and walked slowly to the door of the flower hall.
Was Yan Song's visit to Liang Chu that day really just to record the emperor's first separate meeting with his cabinet ministers?
Recalling the situation when Yan Song was the first to stand up after Liang Chu and Yuan Zonggao at the meeting of the Three Dynasties, Yang Tinghe felt that his energy had indeed been a little low during this period, and he could not think about some things as deeply and comprehensively as before.
There is no way, this emperor's tricks... they are all weird!
While frowning and thinking, he saw his son and Yan Song walking over, chatting and laughing. Yang Tinghe suddenly showed a kind smile and greeted him under the eaves: "Weizhong, it's not in vain that you have devoted yourself to learning for many years and your reputation has spread far and wide."
"It's all given by my master." Yan Song saluted respectfully.
A word of mentorship and a word of gift made Yang Tinghe feel a lot more at ease.
Of course, this gift is very scary to think about. If Yang Tinghe spent more time thinking about it, he might be even more depressed, but he can't be sure of anything and can't doubt Yan Song.
Just like when Yan Song was talking to Liang Chu, he had no verbal leverage to control him.
Yang Shenze didn't think much about it at all, but looked at Yan Song with a little envy.
I didn't go to greet him just now because I was a little shy. He believed that his talents and learning were as good as anyone's. If there had not been a dispute over the succession of emperors and heirs, perhaps it would be him, Yang Shen, who would be the official official today.
Now Yan Song is really on his way to success, and he is serving as a servant. As long as the emperor appreciates his talents, the next step will be a lot of experience.
During this visit, Yan Song acted like a student. In addition to recalling the events of the Imperial Examination and the Palace Examination, and thanking Yang Tinghe for writing several letters asking him to return to the court, the rest were to ask Yang Tinghe for his lectures on the Emperor's Day.
In this regard, Yang Tinghe naturally has sufficient experience.
Yan Song humbly asked for advice.
Yang Tinghe looked at him earnestly, "Wei Zhong, you have this opportunity now, your future future is limitless. I have wasted more than a year as a Gongsheng student in Jinke. Although I should be more diligent in my knowledge, I'm afraid what strategies will your Majesty come up with?" It also makes them even more elusive.”
"Your Majesty is indeed talented and decisive." Yan Song nodded in agreement, "If your Majesty asks, the student should tell the truth. Although this strategy question is generally about the way to govern the world, there are already many things in the beginning of the imperial era. The student thinks that if it is now Let Gongsheng speak about etiquette, lest there be any trouble again."
Yang Tinghe laughed: "What Wei Zhong said is true."
He was afraid that the emperor would still want to make a fuss about etiquette.
As for the biased theory that "rituals depend on money", if it were brought up to the imperial examination and allowed to be discussed by the Gongsheng students, the world would be shocked.
With such an understanding, who knows how many more emperors there are?
Yan Song came, which Yang Tinghe liked very much.
But Yan Song's too strong respect made Yang Tinghe worried.
You can't say that he is too outsider.
A "happy conversation" between teachers and students lasted for half an hour, and Yang Tinghe gave Yan Song plenty of alone time.
At this moment, there must be many people waiting at the concierge of Yang Mansion.
But after Yang Tinghe sent Yan Song away, the first thing he said was to tell his master: "Go and find out whose house Yan Weizhong went to visit today."
Yan Song went home directly.
He only went to visit Yang Tinghe today.
There is no need for Liang Chu, today's tacit understanding has been established.
As for the planning questions for the imperial examination, how could Yan Song be prepared to take care of this?
He would neither disclose the emperor's tendencies to the outside world nor prepare to influence the emperor.
As for paying a visit to Yang Tinghe, that's right. After all, there is a teacher-student relationship.
Doesn't the emperor hope that he will have a trustworthy minister beside Yang Tinghe?
…
The time for the palace examination was set. On May 18th, the Gongsheng students discussed Yu Qian's topic for several days and finally stopped to prepare nervously for the examination.
All kinds of scholars and scholars who are addicted to food never stop.
At present, the hot topic in the capital is Yu Qian on the surface, but in fact, using ancient metaphors to describe the present, everyone is discussing the new king who succeeded the vassal in a way that can only be understood but not expressed.
Zhang Ji, a poor scholar in the capital, had no intention of talking about this. Another official came to his family: Fang Feng, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Is this really what the emissary in the palace said?"
"Wan Sheng's words are true." Zhang Ji had a grimace on his face, left his seat and knelt down, "Shi Minggong, since we have the friendship of fellow villagers, Wan Sheng dared to speak out. Although Wan Sheng is stupid, he also knows that he has an envoy to serve on the orders of the Queen Mother. How strange it would be to pre-select a lady and then have Duke Shi Ming come to the humble residence on official business. Please also ask Duke Shi Ming to give you some advice!"
Fang Feng helped him up politely: "Ji Shi, it's good if you know the pros and cons. Don't worry, don't worry. My brother heard that there is a treacherous minister who pretends to be a good man to disturb the good family and ruin the holy emperor's name. It's true. , Jimin might as well tell the truth."
Zhang Ji looked at him anxiously: Didn't I already say this?
Fang Feng smiled and spread out the paper for him and started grinding the ink.
Zhang Ji's expression changed: What does Yan Guan want to do with this incident?
He really didn't want to get involved.
