Chapter 1334: The Unseeable Zhu Gaochi

After the new year is over, all the yamen have started to work normally.

But just after the new year is always a little lazy, this is the case both in ancient and modern China and abroad.

But this kind of emotion did not appear in Jian Yi's body, he was full of enthusiasm for work.

On the first day of going to the Yamen, Jian Yi called people to discuss matters, but the topic was the selection of minor officials.

"Small officials are inconspicuous, but they are indispensable. Together with the gentry, this is the foundation for maintaining the stability of Ming Dynasty."

Shuntian Mansion's inaction had already angered Jian Yi, but he quietly waited until the next year before starting to make arrangements.

"Warning all places, petty officials should not be ignored."

Jian Yi's attitude was very firm, and the people below all understood the meaning of the big man, so they expressed their opinions one after another, very vague, but they kept the same words as the little official.

"Go back and think about it carefully, and when I come back from the palace, I will notify all places."

Jian Yi was so steady that even Zhu Di couldn't find any major flaws in this Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

And Zhu Gaochi also respected him very much, so when he heard that it was Jian Yi who asked to see him, he put aside the matter at hand and invited him in.

After seeing the ceremony, Jian Yi was also unambiguous and said: "Your Highness, the number of petty officials in various places has increased a lot, and many of them... have deviated from the teachings of the ancestors. I would like to ask Your Highness for permission."

The words were vague but clear, Zhu Gaochi understood immediately.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Gaochi said calmly: "Daming is very big, and the situation in each place is different. The teachings of the sages are profound and profound, and we can't get a glimpse of them in our poor life. The science is not great, but it is all practical knowledge. Knowing the way of the sages, only knowing how to seek oneself, this is the way of the people, who dares to hinder it..."

Zhu Gaochi looked relaxed, and Jian Yi gradually understood.

What the people want is practicality, but the avenue of the sages is a bit far away for them, so they don't need it.

As for how to balance the relationship between Confucianism and science...

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "There is no rush, Daming is on the rise, everything is fine, this is the best."

Jian Yi understood Zhu Gaochi's meaning: it is not appropriate to go to war at the moment.

"Yes, my minister's vision is too narrow."

After Jian Yi left, Wen Fang, who had tied his hands by the side, relaxed a bit.

As the prince's recent 'new favourites', Wen Fang and Zhang Mao are not favored by Jian Yi and others, so if he dared to speak out just now, Jian Yi would definitely dare to speak to Zhu Gaochi in front of him, embarrassing him on the spot.

Zhu Gaochi withdrew his smile, and said lightly: "What do you think of Yancheng?"

Wen Fang glanced left and right slowly, and then said: "Your Highness, science is gradually corroding the foundation of Ming Dynasty. If we ignore it, who will rule the Ming Dynasty in a few decades? We must investigate, Your Highness!"

Zhu Gaochi's expression was still indifferent, and Wen Fang continued to say after seeing this: "Science does not teach people to be kind, let alone the way of loyalty to the emperor. Once it spreads, Your Highness, the world is full of self-interest. who?"

The air in the hall seemed to stop flowing and freeze.

Wen Fang felt a little apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't dare to say any more.

After a long time, Zhu Gaochi picked up the memorial and said, "This Palace knows, so you should retreat for now."

Wen Fang went out respectfully, and when the cold wind blew outside, he realized that his back and armpits were covered with sweat.

Uneasy, he went to find Zhang Mao.

After Zhang Mao came to Beiping, he felt like a duck to water. He worked hard every day on gold stones, calligraphy and painting, and his appraisal ability soared, which Zhu Gaochi liked very much.

Seeing Wen Fang enter the room, Zhang Mao put down the seal in his hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Yan Cheng, this seal should belong to Mr. Dongpo..."

Wen Fang was not in the mood to appreciate the seals, he looked at the room full of calligraphy and paintings, and there were seals everywhere, and said: "Jian Yi has become hostile to science, and feels that science is robbing the job, and he is about to make a move, but His Highness has declined. "

Zhang Mao's hand tightened and grabbed the seal, his knuckles turned white. He asked eagerly, "Is His Highness protecting that person?"

Wen Fang sat slumped on a chair, pulled aside several seals on the table, dipped in cold tea and drew three dots on the table.

"This is Your Majesty,

This is His Highness, this is Grandson. "

Zhang Mao closed his eyes and listened. He didn't need to look, he guessed Wen Fang's meaning.

"Your Majesty seems to appreciate Fang Xing very much, and has repeatedly defended him. Not to mention the grandson, the two are almost in a pair of pants, and the only person we can place high hopes on is His Highness..."

"Are you worried that His Highness will wake up with His Majesty's asylum?"

Zhang Mao opened his eyes and asked, his expression calm.

The weather was so cold, and Wen Fang was only wearing a single shirt with fluttering long sleeves, revealing part of his chest. He said angrily: "Isn't it? Your Highness is as close to that Fang Xing as a nephew, allowing the princess to get in touch with him, to attract the truth, if that Fang Xing will one day... Forget it, I think too much, Fang Xing has it." wife."

Zhang Mao shook his head and said, "Your Highness is still a prince. For so many years, His Highness has learned the essence of keeping a low profile. Otherwise, how do you think you have survived these years? Also, the so-called science is just the learning of inferiors..."

"How to say?"

Wen Fang felt wrong, he thought Fang Xing would not give up science so easily.

Zhang Mao said proudly: "This kind of people are just officials when they come out, but my generation can rise from white clothes to the sky in one step and become a close minister of His Highness. Is this comparable to them?"

Putting those seals into the brocade box, Zhang Mao smiled slightly, looking handsome and handsome.

"Brother Yancheng, Your Highness is at the peak of his age, this is our greatest reliance! Fang Xing is nothing more than a lucky minister. He is lucky to make some military exploits and think he is a hero. It is just that there is no hero at the time, so that Zhuzi became famous. The younger brother is just hiding his strength and biding his time , just wait for your Highness to soar into the sky, then it will be a good opportunity for you and me to show our talents."

Wen Fang looked at Zhang Mao in surprise, and after a long time forced a smile and said: "Yinzhen, you have been a little reclusive these days, brother I thought you were disheartened, I didn't expect such aspirations in my chest, but brother I will definitely not give up. Empress, let's assist His Highness together."

Wen Fang said bitterly: "Liang Zhong scolded Wei brother that day, let's pay more attention to that eunuch from now on."

Zhang Mao has undergone some reborn changes recently, his eyebrows are full of confidence, he nodded slightly and said: "His Highness is very dissatisfied with the number of maids and servants in the palace, and it will definitely decrease in the future. No matter how favored Liang Zhong is, it is just a matter of one sentence That's all."

...

High-spirited, it can also be said to be proud of the spring breeze, and this is how Shen Shitou feels now.

In the Black Thorn camp in Xishan, seeing Old Seventh Xin crawling forward on the ground with the Black Thorn soldiers running behind him, he felt that he had come to the right place.

Even if he continues to hang around in the palace, he will be left out after Zhu Gaochi takes over. He is likely to be sent out to serve as the official of a hundred households, and the deputy thousand households will be the top.

But now he is Zhu Zhanji's personal bodyguard, this is a position that must be held by a confidant, in the future...

"Hey hey hey!"

Thinking of his pride, Shen Shitou couldn't help smiling.

Seeing this silly smile, Jia Quan couldn't help cursing Zhu Di's eyes.

After Shen Shitou was transferred by Zhu Di's name, Jia Quan knew that this person was Zhu Zhanji's future guard leader, and he would become Wang Fusheng's second in the future.

But no matter how you look at it, this person is unreliable!

"Is everything good?"

Xin Laoqi had already got up, and then asked people to come one by one.

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji watched from the sidelines, Fang Xing was explaining the function of this movement, Zhu Zhanji nodded frequently.

And Xiaodao was leading a group of people to practice going up and down the cliff, Jia Quan walked to the edge and looked down, his body shook immediately, and then quickly backed away.
