Li Tai and Wan An have both been members of the Imperial Academy for many years.
Because of his own relationship with Cheng En, there was not much room for improvement. In addition, his physical condition was very bad, so he devoted himself to helping Wan An improve.
Wan An, wear a pair of pants with Li Tai. Wan An usually obeys Li Tai, but this time, he has different ideas.
Nowadays, Xu Youzhen is very popular. He is the closest minister to His Majesty the Emperor and a powerful official who is under the control of the public prosecutor and the law. He can affect the fate of many people with just a few moves...
But even Xu Youzhen, who has grown up to this day, was only a marginalized person more than ten years ago. He even had a negative image of being a marginalized person because of the major mistake of southward migration.
But it was such a person who should not have gotten up, but after seizing an opportunity, he successfully entered the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, who was still young at the time. From then on, he was out of control. He spent ten years following His Majesty the Emperor. It only took ten years for him to grow up, and he had completed the journey that others had taken for fifty years. He was at the pinnacle of human affairs, and even Li Xian, the chief minister of the cabinet, could not compare with him in his childhood.
At this time, Xu Youzhen was Wan An's idol. Of course, this idol was not because she liked him, but because she wanted to be him.
Wan An felt that he did not dare to say that he was better than Xu Youzhen, but he was definitely more obedient than Xu Youzhen. He could definitely do what he could do. With his status today, he should also have such a status in the future.
"I have recorded what Brother Li said."
After listening to Wan An's words, Li Tai poured him another cup of tea: "Is this right? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You are still young and there will be many opportunities in the future. It's okay not to take the opportunities gained by taking such risks. .”
Wan An smiled, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
Wan An wanted to seize this opportunity. He also lied in front of Li Tai for the first time and had different thoughts in his mind.
The flash of desire in Wan An's eyes was caught by Li Tai. However, he didn't say anything more. The topic had come to an end at this point. The final choice still rested in Wan An's own hands. If he makes up his mind to intervene, it will definitely affect the relationship between the two.
It only took Wan An less than a month to go from being a scholar in the Hanlin Academy to serving as a cabinet clerk. He was afraid of losing this opportunity. After the Nanjing incident, he was sent to the Hanlin Academy again. Facts have proved that Wan An He is not a person who can calm down to learn. He cannot bear loneliness...
Nanjing Imperial City, in the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the piles of memorials on the imperial platform. They were all about impeaching Ge Wangyang and criticizing the so-called heavy punishment by the alliance.
Zhu Jianshen read them all and selected thirteen officials whose words were so unpleasant and so tough that there was no room for change.
Instead of punishing them, he directly promoted these thirteen officials.
Some were originally sixth-grade Yuanwailang, but now they were directly promoted two levels and became fourth-grade magistrates. They were then arranged to go to Korea, a country with beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and clear waters, and to Annan, where there was still some war.
Those who go to North Korea are all promoted to one level, but His Majesty the Emperor is afraid of those who go to Annan. The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the old people cannot bear it. If they cannot come back, they are directly promoted to two levels. Some people are even promoted to three levels. I am telling these officials who went to Annan that you spent more than ten years in Ming Dynasty in one day...
The positions in North Korea are all in the southwest, such as the southwest patrol officer, the magistrate of Nanyuan Prefecture, the governor of the town...
And Annan's positions are all in the north, close to Yunnan and Guangxi, three prefects, two Annan north-south transit envoys...
This is derogation, and Annan and North Korea also replaced Yunnan and Guangxi and became the political exile of the Ming Dynasty and a desert for officials.
The memorial was sent to the emperor's court in the afternoon, the promotion decree was sent in the evening, and the person was arranged to leave by the Jin Yiwei early in the morning... There was no delay at all. Their family members in the capital would also make arrangements later.
And the emperor denounced more than ten officials in one breath, making those officials who submitted the memorial lose their confidence. Did His Majesty just read the memorials of more than a dozen people yesterday? Didn't he see his own? If so, Seeing their own, wouldn't they also have to stay away from the power centers of the two capitals? Everyone was a little scared.
The opponents are like hitting cotton with a fist, but underneath the cotton, there is an iron wall...
The emperor's current handling method is completely different from before.
In the past, the emperor would still reason with you, but now, he doesn't make any sense at all. He comes up to promote you and arrange a series of...
Political skills are also more mature than before, and officials are obviously unable to adapt to this change of pace.
Ge Wangyang, who was also promoted and proposed the joint strategy, became the right censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, the official who raised objections was sent to the ends of the earth. He was said to be sent as an official, but he packed his luggage overnight. He was taken into custody by the Jin Yiwei people and took office.
These are completely two attitudes.
Zhu Jianshen also wanted to strike while the iron was hot. On the third day of the Great Court Meeting, he summoned the cabinet ministers and officials from the six ministries and the Qianqing Palace for the first time to discuss the feasibility of the matter.
Duke Xiao of Qin ordered Shang Yang to reform the country in order to strengthen the country. After summarizing the experience and lessons of Li Kui's reform, Shang Yang proposed the law of "Shiwu Lianzu", which officially marked the formation of the Lianzu system in Qin. Different from the previous joint sitting system, the joint sitting system established by Shang Yang elevated the joint sitting system tied by blood to the collective level and reached a peak, which also pushed Qin's national power to its peak.
Even though Shang Yang's method of sitting together had a profound impact on the development history of the entire nation, in the process of the development of the unified dynasty, the idea that the emperor and the scholar-officials shared the world became solid, and what followed was an extremely tolerant approach to the scholar-officials. , The punishment is not good for the scholar-officials, the rewards are not for the scholar-officials, and the service is not for the scholar-officials.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen just wanted to break this kind of rigidity. If you don't abide by the rules, even if you are the number one scholar, it will have nothing to do with you in the future.
And now he also has the strength to do such a thing.
He has loyal ministers, an army, great righteousness, and a group of eunuchs who can support him at critical times...
Zhu Jianshen sat in front of the imperial case, looked at the dozen or so officials standing below, glanced around, and then waited for a long time before slowly speaking: "Today, I have summoned all my dear friends to come here. We all know the reason. These days, I have been waiting for you to give me a memorial and talk about it. But after waiting for such a long time, I have all pretended to be dumb. I have not seen any of your memorials. I have no choice. Ah, I am asking you all to take a moment out of your busy schedule to sit here with me and talk to me face to face."
"My dear friends, who should speak first? Mr. Ge, how about you talk about it first, and then Xu Qing will continue..."
