After Yang Xian's instigation, the imperial censor Liu Bing couldn't wait to investigate Wang Guangyang.
The previous censor Zhongcheng was Liu Bowen. However, after Liu Bowen resigned, Zhu Yuanzhang never found a suitable replacement, so this position has been vacant.
Supervise the mistakes of the officials and then report them to Lao Zhu. Even if Lao Zhu prefers the Huaixi Group, it is impossible to hand over such a key position to a member of the Huaixi Group.
With Li Shanchang in the position of prime minister, the Huaixi Group is already powerful enough.
But once Liu Bowen left, Lao Zhu really couldn't find an official who was not afraid of the Huaixi Group, so since Liu Bowen resigned, the position of Yushi Zhongcheng has been vacant.
Censor Liu Bing was very enthusiastic about this position.
According to the current situation, he is also the person with the greatest possibility of getting this position.
The Shi Yushi himself is a junior official to the Yu Shi Zhongcheng. Promotion is a matter of course, but he still needs a few big achievements.
Wang Guangyang, the right prime minister, has the best performance.
Moreover, the reason for not being filial is very useful to Zhu Yuanzhang. Filial piety is a quality that Zhu Yuanzhang values very much.
Therefore, if Wang Guangyang really did something unfilial, it wouldn't even be an exaggeration, it would be enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang angry.
As for Yang Xian's report on his boss Wang Guangyang, Liu Bing didn't think too much about it.
Like myself, I want to go further.
Such people are all allies, so he will naturally not betray Yang Xian.
After Yang Xian took care of all this, he began to wait patiently. Although Wang Guangyang failed this first time, Yang Xian did not feel that Wang Guangyang was a big problem.
The reason is also very simple, lack of ability.
Incompetent guys are not much of a threat to Yang Xian at all, they just rely on the grace of God.
What Yang Xian is most worried about now is Su Jing, how to make Su Jing no longer a threat.
After checking Su Jing's recent whereabouts again, Yang Xian set his sights on Yang Siyi, the Minister of Household Affairs.
The Agricultural College was a project under Yang Siyi's supervision. Su Jing stayed there for several days. Yang Xian would not believe it if Yang Siyi had no involvement at all.
Therefore, now Yang Xian is thinking of going to Yang Siyi to inquire about the situation.
At the Agricultural College, in the glass greenhouse, Zhu Ju's pea experiment has already begun.
"Master Su, the peas have just been planted, and the next step is to wait for them to sprout."
Zhu Ru watered the peas with his own hands, then turned to look at Su Jing aside.
Su Jing nodded and said: "Niu Su, this pea genetic experiment is destined to be a long-term battle. You have to be mentally prepared. The results may not come out in a year or two."
In Su Jing's memory, Mendel's genetic experiments on pea breeding took many years to finally get the results of seemingly simple genetic rules.
Zhu Rui's experiment was definitely not accomplished overnight, and it was for his own good to warn Zhu Rui now.
"Don't worry Master Su, the students have been prepared for a long time."
Zhu Ru nodded, his eyes firm.
Zhu Rui is very curious about what the inheritance of plants is like. If the rules of inheritance can be found, it will be of great significance for cultivating and improving plants.
Cultivating and improving plants is what Zhu Ju wants to do most now.
"Okay, in that case, you can allocate your own time. It is impossible to relax and study during the pea experiment. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Su Jing said with a smile.
For Zhu Rui, this was a marathon experiment, but for Su Jing, teaching Zhu Rui did not change much.
"Yes, Master Su."
Zhu Ru nodded. At this time, he had regarded this as his lifelong career.
"By the way, where is Yang Shangshu?"
Su Jing asked curiously. Although he didn't come to the Agricultural College very frequently recently, he never bumped into Yang Siyi once, which was really strange.
Zhu Ting replied: "If I get back to Master Su, it's spring now, and sowing is about to begin in various places. Yang Shangshu is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is responsible for supervising the farmers."
Supervisor of farmers!
That is to ensure that all farmers plant food at the right time so that food production is stable. The stability of food means the stability of tax revenue. In the Ming Dynasty, food was equivalent to currency.
The Ministry of Household Affairs manages finances, so it is natural that Yang Siyi, the Minister of Household Affairs, should be responsible for such matters.
Especially since Yang Siyi is a good official with ideals and ambitions, such an important matter must be done personally.
"That's it. Yang Shangshu is really serious and responsible in his work."
Su Jing sighed slightly. He originally wanted to discuss with Yang Siyi the idea of setting up a vocational education pilot school in the Agricultural College.
In the process of communicating with Song Lian these days, Su Jing was really helpless.
Although Song Lian has actively cooperated, due to his ideological solidification, once problems arise in many places and need to be corrected, Song Lian will immediately deviate from the path of the traditional imperial examination.
Even though Su Jing reminded him many times, Song Lian realized that he was not accepting new things enough, but it was still difficult for him to change.
The four words "knowing what is difficult and doing what is easy" are truly reflected in Song Lian's body.
Su Jing also understood that the fundamental reason why this happened was that Song Lian did not want to change the imperial examination from the bottom of his heart. It was all because of Lao Zhu's order.
But Yang Siyi was different. He had brains and was not stubborn in his thinking. He just heard Su Jing mention vocational education and immediately realized the benefits of it, so he directly gave Lao Zhu a discount.
Such proactive and highly intelligent talents are definitely much easier to use than someone like Song Lian.
"Master Su, are you looking for Yang Shangshu? If you are in a hurry, you can go to the elder brother directly. He can find Yang Shangshu quickly."
Zhu Xi said to Su Jing.
Although he is young, he doesn't know much about government affairs.
But he knew that it would be very easy for his eldest brother, Prince Zhu Biao, to find a minister or something.
"It's nothing serious. Don't worry. I know what your elder brother can do."
Su Jing said with a smile.
Su Jing was very familiar with the status of Prince Zhu Biao in the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone hopes to return, and everyone is united.
Although the court is divided into factions, there are also various intricate in-law relationships. Different groups and different forces have quite different interests and demands.
But on the matter of the Ming Prince and Zhu Yuanzhang's successor, the opinions of all the civil and military officials were extremely unified.
This is not only because Zhu Yuanzhang is strong enough, but also because Lao Zhu has continuously established Zhu Biao as the sole heir to the Ming Dynasty for so many years, that is, since the period of King Wu.
Lao Zhu's political wisdom can also be seen from Zhu Biao's status as the prince.
Of course, Zhu Biao was also a trustworthy and nurturing prince, and he completely met Zhu Yuanzhang's various expectations.
If Zhu Biao had not died, Zhu Yuanzhang's emperor's baton would have been firmly taken over by Zhu Biao.
Not so many of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty suffered a bad end.
After leaving the Agricultural College, Su Jing returned to Niu Mansion.
Song Lian hasn't come yet, so Su Jing is relatively free.
"Master Su, please have tea."
Zhu Biao handed a cup of tea to Su Jing.
Su Jing took the tea cup and said: "I see that you have not been in a good mood recently. You disappeared for a while after you came back from Laizhou Mansion. Your father asked you to go do something. Why, is there something that makes you feel uncomfortable?"
As her first disciple, Su Jing was very concerned about Zhu Biao.
He had already noticed that Zhu Biao was in a bad mood, but he just didn't have the time or a good opportunity to ask.
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, Master Su, the student is depressed at this time. He only feels that many things are not as he thought, and he can't understand why things are like this."
It's still about Ma Zhiyuan, or it's about Song Guogong Feng Sheng.
What happened was inexplicable, and his father Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction and handling were also inexplicable.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Su Jing asked.
Enlightening Zhu Biao is what he should do as a teacher.
Zhu Biao nodded, and then told Su Jing what happened behind Ma Zhiyuan. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not directly reveal his identity. When he mentioned Feng Sheng, he also used the name Zhu Yuanzhang's good brother instead.
This did not pose any difficulty to Su Jing's understanding. After all, it was not difficult to hear Zhu Biao say these things after knowing Lao Zhu's identity.
"In other words, your father's old man's nephew committed a crime, but your father didn't care and didn't punish the old man's nephew, right? This is probably the case."
Su Jing simply simplified what Zhu Biao said.
Zhu Biao replied: "Yes, Master Su, the most difficult thing for students to understand is my father's attitude. He clearly knew that it was wrong to do so, but he still chose to condone it."
There is still a clear distinction between governing a country and governing a family in Zhu Biao.
If it's just a small matter at home, just discuss it peacefully with everyone.
But running a country is different. If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price and bear the consequences. If you still act as casually as when you run a family, the country will no longer be a country, and the law will lose its meaning!
After studying with Su Jing for a long time, Su Jing also took him to understand the lives of many ordinary people. Zhu Biao's kindness to the people was not just verbal.
Ma Zhiyuan's incident really hit him hard.
The three views and thoughts that were shaped by Su Jing's influence were completely beaten in this matter.
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao who looked gloomy and felt helpless in her heart.
Because what Zhu Biao said is simply an unsolvable matter.
"Niu Yi, do you want to change this situation?"
Su Jing asked Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao immediately nodded and said: "Of course, Master Su, there should be a way to solve this situation."
The person in front of him was Su Jing, the teacher who had guided him through many confusions, and the good doctor who had treated countless difficult and complicated diseases for Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao's eyes were full of hope, and he was extremely eager to seek answers.
Su Jing said calmly: "Your father can't solve the problem, so we still have to rely on you to solve it."
"Um?"
Zhu Biao was stunned and didn't understand what Su Jing meant at the first time.
But after he changed his mind, he said in surprise: "Master Su, are you saying that my father did the right thing?"
He couldn't believe that Su Jing would agree with his father Zhu Yuanzhang on something so obviously wrong. Is this the same Su Jing who taught him?
Su Jing shook her head and said, "No, I didn't say that. I was just telling you a fact."
"Why did your father do this? I think he has told you the reason. It is difficult to have both sides. If you want to blame it, you can only blame your family. If you are just an ordinary family, these problems will no longer be a problem. ”
Based on the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, Su Jing believed that Zhu Yuanzhang must have answered Zhu Biao's doubts.
It's just that the current Ming Dynasty still needs the service of these heroes. The stability of the Ming Dynasty needs them, so it can be tolerated and must be tolerated.
This is something that can't be helped. The relationship between the feudal dynasty has always been like this.
The current situation of Ming Dynasty also destined Zhu Yuanzhang to choose temporary compromise for the sake of stability.
Perhaps, the subsequent massacre is also inseparably related to the current connivance.
In the final analysis, Zhu Biao's depression is that he was born in the emperor's family.
The emperor has to think about the common people in the world, but the premise is that the world still belongs to the emperor.
If giving up the position of emperor can prevent the people of the world from suffering, then the emperor will definitely choose to continue to make the people of the world suffer.
This is reality, this is human nature.
Of course, these things are definitely not suitable for Zhu Biao.
You can't tell Zhu Biao that your old Zhu family is no longer the emperor, so these things can be settled.
Zhu Biao remained silent.
Su Jing was right. Zhu Yuanzhang did explain it to him, but he couldn't accept it.
"Niu Yi, don't think so much. If you want to change, then make yourself stronger. Just do what your father can't do."
Su Jing said with relief.
This is the only thing he can do.
"Is this the only way?"
Zhu Biao said with some reluctance that he understood the truth, but he just couldn't accept this reality.
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Su Jing suddenly said: "Of course, it is not a radical cure."
Zhu Biao immediately said: "Master Su, please tell me, the students really want to know."
Su Jing said calmly: "In the Ming Dynasty, there is an official position called Yushi Zhongcheng. His duty is to supervise all officials. If there is any problem, report it to the emperor, right?"
"That's right, Master Su, Uncle Chengyi was the censor Zhongcheng before."
Zhu Biao nodded immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately understood what Su Jing meant.
"Master Su, what do you mean, let Uncle Chengyi continue to serve as Yushi Zhongcheng?"
Zhu Biao said to Su Jing.
Now among the Ming Dynasty, the most trouble-making party is naturally the Huaixi party. Relying on their merits and Zhu Yuanzhang's reliance, some ridiculous things often happen.
The other ministers had treacherous intentions but no courage. They were not officials of the Huaixi Party. Lao Zhu had never been merciless in dealing with them.
Lao Zhu directly told the Huaixi Party what to do because of his bad feelings, but Liu Bowen had the courage, and he had always done so.
Liu Bowen was jealous of Lao Zhu for this reason.
However, it is undeniable that when Liu Bowen was the censor Zhongcheng, many absurd things in the Huaixi Group were much less common than now.
After all, Liu Bowen, who is not sincere, is the leader of the East Zhejiang Party, so it is natural for him to do such a thing.
Su Jing's method was to let Liu Bowen come out again.
