The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

"Your Majesty, I think this book can be used as a teaching material!"

Yang Tinghe spoke again.

He didn't care about merit or anything like that, but he cared about the little emperor's studies.

After all, Yang Tinghe is the young emperor's tutor. If the emperor becomes a fatuous monarch in the future, publicly the people of the world will suffer for it, and privately Yang Tinghe will also be infamous, so no matter publicly or privately, Yang Tinghe both hoped that the young emperor could study and cultivate virtue.

Not to mention being a wise monarch who opened up new territories and revitalized the Ming Dynasty, it was enough to at least be a conservative ruler who was diligent in political affairs and loved his people like a son.

Hearing Yang Tinghe's words, Zhu Houzhao also came back to his senses from thousands of thoughts.

On the fifth day after Savage left, I missed him!

"Zhang Yong, summon Yuan Fu."

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yang Ting and Zheng Laoshen sitting on the ground, while the little emperor was holding a book in his hand and reading with gusto.

Although this book is a bit naive for Liu Jian, it is a rare and good teaching material for the little emperor!

In fact, Yang Tinghe once approached Liu Jian to discuss the Little Emperor's teaching materials.

This is what he was waiting for!

After Emperor Chenghua, there was Emperor Hongzhi (Zhu Youtang), also known as the late emperor. Based on the dedicated teaching and training of Liu Jian, a serious imperial teacher, Emperor Hongzhi also became a perfect monarch similar to Emperor Hongxi.

"Your Majesty, this book can not only be used as a teaching material for Your Majesty to participate in the Sutra Feast Day Lectures, but also as an enlightenment teaching material for the descendants of the royal family in the future!"

In this situation, if Yang Tinghe suddenly joins the cabinet, officials all over the world will definitely not be convinced.

"I tell you to summon the court officials immediately! If you can't come, don't come. I will destroy them!"

Liu Jian: "???"

"Of course I know Master Yang's knowledge and abilities."

During this period, Zhu Houzhao and Yang Tinghe did not disturb him, but waited patiently.

"Now there is the virtuous Yang Tinghe, who has become famous at a young age, is rich in economics, and is familiar with the sufferings of the people and border wars. The veteran minister recommends Mr. Yang to join the cabinet to jointly participate in aircraft maintenance and assist the court!"

Why?

Because this book perfectly solves the current dilemma.

Really not, just hanging around in the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu, which is worse than the local prefect.

"The lower official has met Lord Yuan Fu."

It is not uncommon for the Ming Emperor to dislike Confucianism.

Because this "Di Jian Tu Shuo" is indeed a classic.

After all, if the emperor does not like Confucian classics, it will be a huge disaster for the ministers!

Unfortunately, the effect is not significant, or basically has no effect.

Yang Tinghe learned the rhythm of music when he was four years old. When he was seven years old, he read several volumes every day to prepare for the imperial examination. In the seventh year of Chenghua, he passed the provincial examination at the age of twelve. In the fourteenth year of Chenghua, Yang Tinghe became a Jinshi. Nineteen. After passing the exam, he was elected as a concubine of Hanlin Academy.

"Call all the courtiers to discuss matters, immediately!"

However, this smile did not last long before it completely dissipated due to the arrival of Chen Kuan.

In the 18th year of Hongzhi's reign, Yang Tinghe was ordered to preside over the examination. This examination was even better than the Shuntianfu Township Examination. Basically, the genealogy could be opened on a separate page, with a special letter describing Yang Tinghe's glorious deeds. In May, Xiaozong died. Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne. In July, Yang Tinghe, who was Wu Zong's teacher when he was in the East Palace, was promoted to Zhan Shifu, Shao Zhanshi.

The little emperor also understood that this matter had nothing to do with the two imperial masters.

Yang Tinghe, there is less Zhan Shi in Zhan Shifu, and he does not belong to the same system as the cabinet, but the problem is that Liu Jian is the master of Emperor Hongzhi!

In a sense, Yang Tinghe is now following Liu Jian's path, from the Hanlin Academy to the East Palace Zhanshi Mansion and then to the cabinet. Therefore, facing Liu Jian, the "old senior", Yang Tinghe has always maintained the courtesy of a junior and immediately He stood up and saluted.

Later, Emperor Hongxi (Zhu Gaochi) was also a humble gentleman, generous and kind, polite and virtuous. He could be said to be the perfect monarch that the civil servants and gentry most desired. However, he was born with a disease and was fat and wide. He died young and only served as the Ming Dynasty for less than a year. emperor.

Moreover, the illustrations in this book are very smart, with simple lines and clear outlines. They are simple and childish, cute and yet expressive. At first glance, people will inevitably be curious to read more.

The little emperor considered his words and spoke calmly.

So he suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Chen Kuan viciously and roared.

Liu Jian immediately left for the palace after receiving the news. His heart was in his throat, and he even speculated on countless possibilities.

Time gradually passed, and Liu Jian also hurried over.

The panting old chief assistant immediately became anxious. He breathed heavily for a long time and looked at Yang Tinghe with an unkind expression.

"But Teacher Yang's qualifications and political achievements are not enough. Even if I have the intention, I might not be able to follow the truth, so the matter of Teacher Yang joining the cabinet..."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Kuan bit the bullet and reminded: "Your Majesty, Xiu Mu is not over yet..."

But the little emperor understands one truth, that is, he cannot do the thing of "one emperor and one courtier", otherwise it will be too chilling.

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly smiled on his face.

He could not join the six ministries and exercise real power like Master Tianguan Ma Wensheng did. Instead, he could only follow the path of Master Liu Jian of Yuanfu, from the Hanlin Academy to the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace, and then to the cabinet, drafting edicts and imperial edicts for His Majesty the Emperor. Assist the king to remedy the shortcomings of the times and regulate yin and yang!

This is the final destination of Emperor Ming's master!

Looking at the two imperial masters kneeling on the ground, Zhu Houzhao immediately stepped forward and helped them up one by one.

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was quite good to his imperial master.

You called me over in a hurry and asked for a textbook?

I XXXXX

Liu Jian suppressed the anger in his heart, took the book and read it, but was instantly stunned.

"Ahem, Master Yuanfu, this book... was not written by the official."

Because the cabinet holds the power of "making imperial edicts" and "drafting votes", which is equivalent to "making speeches on behalf of the sage", making decisions on behalf of the emperor, and as the emperor's advisor, he is undoubtedly the best among them.

It wasn't until Liu Jian finished reading the final story of "The Appointment of Six Thieves" that he breathed a sigh of relief.

After reading it, the smile on Zhu Houzhao's face not only froze, he even kicked the desk over in anger!

Needless to say, Emperor Taizu Gao (Zhu Yuanzhang) was so poor that he could not even eat when he was a child. He almost starved to death. How could he have time to study!

Therefore, Yang Tinghe's future has actually been limited for a long time.

Now, the opportunity was once again placed in front of Liu Jian, and he did not hesitate, but chose to support it!

The Dijian Tu says that not only the first chapter, "Sages and Fragrant Rules", depicts the efforts of emperors in the past dynasties to rule the country, but also the second chapter, "Crazy and Foolish Mistakes", depicts the misfortunes of past emperors!

Liu Jian: "???"

"Wonderful!"

Even in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, Yang Tinghe was ordered to preside over the Shuntian Township Examination. Shuntian Mansion was the most prosperous place where the imperial capital was located. This rural examination examiner was equivalent to a glorious deed that would shine on the lintel and be ranked on the first page of the genealogy; in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, Yang Tinghe Because of his participation in editing, he was promoted to the rank of Bachelor of Zuo Chunfang. After the edict was issued, the scholar-bureaucrats were all surprised. It was considered that this official title had not been established for more than fifty years, but Yang Tinghe was the only one to break the old system.

As soon as these words came out, Yang Tinghe was shocked, and his body instinct prompted him to kneel on the ground.

After his reminder, the little emperor stood up and stepped forward, helped Liu Jian sit down, and then handed him the book in his hand.

“It’s really wonderful!”

Does Yang Tinghe have any qualifications and political achievements?

Upon hearing this, the little emperor hurried forward and grabbed the memorial.

The most likely possibility is that Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, who is sending troops abroad, is causing trouble again!

So Liu Jian didn't have time to think too much, and hurriedly followed the eunuch into the palace, and then rushed to Qianqing Palace without stopping.

Then, the orthodox Emperor Tianshun (Zhu Qizhen) refused to comment, fearing that he would kill the nine tribes.

Yang Tinghe's current official position is Zhan Shi, the fourth-rank Shao of Zhan Shifu, and because of the special powers of Zhan Shifu, he has almost no say in the court.

The picture part occupies a considerable weight. Each case in the book is accompanied by a picture, and each picture occupies an entire page. Moreover, this drawing mode is a technique Liu Jian has never seen before, with simple lines and outlines. Clear, subtle and meaningful, it can be called a classic!

So Liu Jian looked at Yang Tinghe and said with a pleased smile: "Jiefu (named by Yang Tinghe), I don't know yet that you have such amazing painting skills!"

During holidays, the emperor generally would not summon courtiers unless something serious happened.

Emperor Taizongwen (Zhu Di) is also a legend. He received a formal palace education when he was a child, but he was also beaten every day. Later, he left the town of Peiping and swept across the desert. After becoming emperor, he flew across the country and made many northern captives flee. What a pity he is a war madman.

For example, Emperor Taizu Gao, and Emperor Taizong Wen, are the best among them!

The young emperor Zhu Houzhao also had this trend, so Liu Jian and Yang Tinghe actually discussed many times whether they could find a good way to make the emperor change his concept of Confucianism, return to the embrace of Confucianism, and follow him Just like your own father, be a diligent and loyal king who loves the people!

The only problem is that, whether it is Liu Jian or Yang Tinghe, even though they are full of economics and knowledge, they are still controlled by Confucianism, this era, and the current environment. Therefore, even though they have been working hard to find ways to change, But I still can't figure it out.

Because taking the path of "imperial master" is different from ordinary officials. The final destination of the imperial master lies in the cabinet.

What?

Textbook?

This sudden change frightened Liu Jian and Yang Tinghe to look at each other.

After Tianshun, there was Emperor Chenghua (Zhu Jianshen). He was the first Ming emperor to take a clear-cut stand and suppress the civil servants and gentry. Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle could not be considered suppression, because the decline of martial arts and culture could only be dealt with easily, and since After the orthodoxy, the civil servants and gentry gradually took control of the government, and Emperor Chenghua began to suppress the civil servants and gentry.

He wanted to use this book as a teaching material for the young emperor to attend scripture feasts in the future. It was not enough for him to speak alone. Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, had to nod his approval.

The little emperor gave Zhang Yong instructions, then lowered his head and read the book with great interest.

This book is composed of small stories, each story is accompanied by vivid illustrations. The whole book is divided into two parts. The first part "Sage and Philosopher's Rules" tells the story of the emperors' efforts to govern, and the second part "Crazy and Foolish Mistakes" "Analyses the misfortunes of emperors in the past dynasties.

Yang Tinghe was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression became strange.

It was not until the first year of Zhengde that Zhu Houzhao changed the Yuan Dynasty to "Zhengde" and Yang Tinghe was appointed as a lecturer. In October, the imperial court revised "Records of Xiaozong" and Yang Tinghe was appointed as the vice president.

Liu Jian directly sets the tone. This book is not only useful, but also useful!

Um?

humble?

Want to get rewards together with other friends?

Okay, no problem, this book alone is worth your time in the history of Yang Ting and Ming!

Liu Jian immediately turned to look at the young emperor and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Li Dongyang, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, is currently ill and has been away from the government for a long time. There are many affairs in the cabinet. The veteran minister and Xie Qian, the great scholar of Dongge Pavilion, are both very old. I'm afraid. Delaying government affairs and neglecting political affairs!”

He wanted to refuse, but couldn't.

However, this pride eventually turned into regret.

When the late emperor came to the throne, he was eager to work hard and revive the Ming Dynasty. However, the end result was that the soldiers and civilians in the world were in poverty and the people were impoverished and their wealth was exhausted!

Even if Liu Jian thinks about Emperor Hongzhi's life at this moment, he will still be in pain and unable to breathe.

Emperor Hongzhi never felt sorry for Liu Jian, his imperial teacher, but Liu Jian felt sorry for himself, the emperor's student!

After all, the little emperor didn't like to study. When attending the Sutra Feast Day lectures, he would either pretend to be pretentious or just fall asleep. These Confucian officials saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts.

"Yuan Fu, what do you think of this "Emperor's Illustrations"? Can it be used as a teaching material for me to attend the Sutra Banquet Day Lecture?"

Generous and kind, courteous to the virtuous, obedient to advice, and appointing virtuous people... It can be said that all the perfect words that civil servants and gentry can think of can be applied to the late emperor. This is what Liu Jian, the Hongzhi Emperor, is most proud of in his life. .

Followed closely by Emperor Taizongwen's great sage grandson, Emperor Xuande (Zhu Zhanji), adhering to Emperor Hongxi's strategy of recuperating and recuperating, shrinking the defense line in an all-round way, and also abandoned Jiaozhi and returned to Annan. As a result, the Ming Dynasty ushered in a real of prosperity!

Emperor Jianwen (Zhu Yunwen) was the only one who liked the rule of law. He was a serious Confucian disciple. He liked Confucianism since childhood. Unfortunately, he believed too much in the words of civil servants and gentry, so that in the end he was usurped from the country and he did not even know whether he was alive or dead.

The Emperor Jingtai (Zhu Qiyu) in the middle, apart from some selfishness, can be regarded as a conservative lord who stabilized the political situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Why is it inappropriate?

Because Yang Tinghe has no political achievements and qualifications to speak of.

But the problem is, it doesn't fit.

However, since the old chief assistant Liu Jian made this statement, he naturally thought of a follow-up.

And now, the "Emperor's Illustrated Book" in front of them is an out-and-out imperial textbook, and can even be used as an enlightenment textbook for the emperors, princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty!

Liu Jian read it carefully and patiently, turning from the first page to the last page.

After entering the Hanlin Academy, Yang Tinghe did not stop. With his wealth of economics, he was promoted to editor of the Hanlin Academy in the second year of Hongzhi, and participated in the compilation of "Xianzong Shilu" and "Da Ming Huidian"; in the fourth year of Hongzhi, he was promoted to Hanlin Academy's Attendant Reader In the fifth year of Hongzhi, he was appointed as the lecturer of Jingyan. In the eighth year of Hongzhi, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao came out of the cabinet. Yang Tinghe and other seven people were recommended to serve the prince in explaining and reading. Among them, Yang Tinghe was appointed Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zhongyun.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will recommend Mr. Yang to the cabinet at the court meeting tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Marquis of Zhongshan!"

To be honest, Yang Tinghe is Zhu Houzhao's teacher. No matter how crooked his butt is, he will still turn towards his apprentice, so Zhu Houzhao hopes that Yang Tinghe will join the cabinet as soon as possible.

"As well as the Ministry of Revenue and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all officials of fifth rank and above are summoned to me!"

"I would like to ask them what they want to do?!"
