Wanli Youming

Chapter 306

Chapter 306

It is the late spring of the 11th year of Wanli.

The green shade is slowly spreading all over the world.

Because during the period from last year's Mid-Autumn Festival to the present, the imperial court copied Xu Jie, whipped Zhang Siwei's corpse, and cracked Qiu Xiao...

Father Jun's will is already very obvious.

The majesty of the monarchy was also established through another harsh form of family raids and killings.

Therefore, the dissatisfaction of the big bureaucrats and landlords with Zhang Juzheng and the New Deal was completely suppressed, and their selfish desires did not ultimately overcome the public interests needed by the common people.

"Zhang Puzhou's coffin was dissected and his corpse was whipped, and Qiu Gong was torn apart by a car. This is not the result we want to see."

In the slanting wind and drizzle, in a wine shop on the outskirts of the capital, Gu Xiancheng looked at the lush greenery in front of him, and also talked about his inner feelings to Li Zhi and Li Sancai.

"Same!"

"But what can I do?"

"Maybe in this world, we can only depend on God's will after all, you and I can't control it."

Li Sancai picked up the wine glass, squinted at the inspector who also appeared in a small town in Gyeonggi, and started talking.

"It's better to resign. If you stay any longer, it will be useless."

After speaking, Gu Xiancheng got up and walked to the railing, folded his hands behind his back, and read: "The water of the Canglang is clear, it can wash my tassels; the water of the Canglang is turbid, it can wash my feet."

"I admit!"

"Before, I miscalculated the situation and thought that everyone was like us and hated Zhang Taiyue to the bone. But in fact, in the face of power, not to mention that Zhang Taiyue is only suspected of taking power by the emperor, I am afraid that if it is really Zhang Taiyue, he will do it. Regarding Wang Mang's matter, there will be a large number of people holding their noses and thinking that Jiangling is a saint for the sake of power!"

Li Sancai also stood up solemnly and came to Gu Xiancheng to talk, and said: "But we really just abandoned our official position and left, never wanting to be an official?"

"Uncle Shi! Don't forget that our ambition is to serve the rulers of Yao and Shun, to implement a policy of leniency and lavishness, so that the court will be full of talented people, and there will be no competition in the world!"

After Li Sancai told Gu Xiancheng, he asked him: "But now, has our ambition been realized?"

After hearing this, Gu Xiancheng asked: "So, you don't want to leave the court now?"

"Not only won't leave, but also look for talented people in the court to vote for!"

"I have thought about it seriously during these times, and I have to admit that although we have great ambitions, we are short-sighted, and we don't know enough about the world and people's hearts. We can no longer be self-righteous and self-righteous in the future;"

"Wang Taicang has always been elegant, majestic, and strategically savvy, and he is willing to guide and guide the younger generation. I intend to follow his words and deeds and listen to his instructions; even if he wants to reform!"

"As he said, in today's world, since the system reform is still prevailing, then follow the trend and change. Who wouldn't change the system?!"

Li Sancai said.

Li Zhi nodded at this moment.

Gu Xiancheng asked Li Zhi, and said with a smile, "Where is Ru Pei?"

"You may not know that Zhang Siwei was copied because I was impeached, and I have voted for Shen Gong!"

As Li Zhi spoke, he looked at Li Sancai: "Xiuwu is right, change with the trend, since you can't realize the aspirations of Yao and Shun, you can only swim in the gate of the powerful and wait Time has changed, let’s get to the bottom of it again!”

Both Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng looked at Li Zhi in surprise.

Li Zhi said: "Also, I have been promoted to the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple because of exposing Zhang Siwei, and I will invite the two of you to come to the humble house for a small gathering."

Li Zhi handed over the post as he spoke.

Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng took the post and remained silent for a while.

Suddenly, Gu Xiancheng asked Li Zhi again: "Why Shenwu County?! Did you forget that this person betrayed me in Nanzhi?"

"But among the Wu people, he is the one who can influence the will of the emperor the most. Since you want to vote for the rich and powerful, why not vote for the most powerful and most likely to influence the world?"

Li Zhi replied.

Gu Xiancheng and Li Sancai didn't say anything more.

……

Now that Zhang Siwei has gone, although Shen Shixing is not the first assistant, it is equivalent to the first assistant.

More and more people came to see him in the whole court.

"Official Keqi has posted a post five days ago to remonstrate, and now it is the third time, saying that he asked his father for advice on the administration of officials."

"Wang Shilang of the household department posted a post three days ago, saying that he wanted to talk to his father about Jiangnan taxes."

"Ministry Shu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice posted yesterday to ask his father's opinion on the addition and modification of criminal law regulations."

……

In the chirping of birdsong.

Shen Shixing listened to the eldest son Shen Yongmao read the list of people who came to seek an audience and their intentions, while pondering over the binoculars in front of him, he suddenly said: "Why do you say that Your Majesty rewarded this to the Duke?"

"The Son of Heaven is a sage king. Naturally, he will not simply indulge in strange skills and ingenuity. From my child's point of view, it should be for the ruling ministers to take a long-term view. Now that the traitors have been eliminated, they should make arrangements for new policies."

Shen Yongmao replied at this time.

Shen Shixing didn't answer, but said: "Continue talking, who else wants to see you?"

Shen Yongmao said conveniently: "Wailang Gu Langguan, a member of the Wenxuan Department, posted a post with his nephew, saying it was a tribute to the hometown."

"Nephew?"

Shen Shixing frowned slightly, then picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance: "What do you mean?"

"According to him, his uncle Gu Bingxian was the same year as his father."

Shen Yongmao replied.

"Speaking of this, I think that there is a vacancy for the position of Langzhong of the Wenxuan Division. As usual, this position is the same as the position of the Wuxuan Division of the Privy Council. It must be discussed by the Political Affairs Hall. The Ministry of Officials cannot arbitrarily decide it to control its power."

Shen Shixing thought for a while and said, "Since he has come to ask for an interview, you can recommend for me a memorandum to recommend to His Majesty the Langzhong Wang Yongji, the Langzhong of the Department of Construction and Repairs of the Ministry of Industry."

"Don't use him, Gu Xiancheng?"

Shen Yongmao asked in surprise.

"I didn't intend to push the Township Party anymore! In the future, those who talk about hometown friendship can be pushed away."

Shishi Xingdao.

Shen Yongmao said: "But he has a good reputation among scholars. If my father doesn't use him, I'm afraid the world will not be peaceful."

"It's good to be injustice!"

"The more people in the world disagree with being a father, the more His Majesty will be more at ease in using him as a father, and the more he can prove that being a father is really about governing the country for the people of the country."

Shen Shixing said.

Shen Yongmao nodded after hearing this, and suddenly asked: "Isn't that child not suitable for contacting them anymore?"

Shen Shixing said: "Not only is it inappropriate to contact, but also there is no need to take the imperial examination! We will do what the grand master does."

Shen Yongmao was quite disappointed: "But if my son doesn't serve the country with his career, what will he do?"

"My father has already arranged a way for you. You should first go to Qi Shuai to learn military training, then go to Yu Shuai to learn martial arts, and then wait for the emperor to arrange."

Shen Shixing said suddenly.

Shen Yongmao was very surprised when he heard this: "Father wants his son to join the military?"

"Why do you think the grand master's eldest son and second son didn't graduate?"

Shen Shixing asked Shen Yongmao.

Shen Yongmao said: "The grand master is afraid that someone will cheat for this?"

"Why would the grand master care about these details?"

Shen Shixing chuckled, looked at the binoculars in his hand and said, "The emperor bestowed this thing on the grounds that it is suitable for military merit, and our Shen family has to change from a noble family to a military honor."

After Shen Shixing said this, he asked Shen Yongmao to continue reading the list of posts.

Shen Yongmao then continued to read: "Zhao Shizhen, the nephew of the General Constitution, posted a post, saying that he presented the blueprint of firearms."

"Your Majesty is heavily armed, bring him to see me immediately, and host a banquet!"

Shen Shixing hurriedly put down the binoculars and ordered.

……

The next day, the Political Affairs Hall.

Not long after Zhu Yijun arrived here, the ministers in power began to discuss the vacancy of a doctor in the Wenxuan Department.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Gu Xiancheng, a member of the Department of Wenxuan, to be the official of the Department of Wenxuan."

Liu Yingjie, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, first put forward his own views.

But Shen Shixing said at this time: "I recommend Wang Yongji, and I ask your majesty not to use literature from Wu, Zhejiang, and Qi to select officials, and to avoid being suspected of forming a township party."

"My minister agrees!"

As soon as Shen Shixing said this, Pan Sheng and Yu Youding from Zhejiang had no choice but to second the proposal.

Liu Yingjie from Shandong had no choice but to change his words: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen Ge's proposal is more comprehensive, and I also think that it is more appropriate to use Wang Yongji."

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Quick!"

Therefore, Wang Yongji became the doctor of Wenxuan Division.

After Gu Xiancheng learned the news, he said to Li Sancai and Li Zhi with a calm face: "I really can't stay in this capital! It's beyond me, Gu, to do something for the powerful!"

After hearing this, Li Sancai said: "Uncle, you are still too solemn! In the past, Taiyue was seriously ill, and all officials prayed for him. We added your name, but you refused to agree and erased it. Now the ministers must That's why I can't tolerate you."

Gu Xiancheng smiled helplessly after hearing this.

And Gu Xiancheng posted his resignation letter that day.

Zhu Yijun still kept a close eye on the fate of officials from the Ministry of Officials, and he would basically read it in person, so he saw Gu Xiancheng's resignation memorial, and said, "Tell the cabinet that the draft will approve his performance!"

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Jing after speaking: "Also, send someone to keep an eye on him secretly!"
