Chapter 1709 You and the Prince Kill Two Birds with One Arrow

Although Huang Huai was dissatisfied with science, he still felt that Jin Youzi was too sensitive.

"As far as science is concerned, it will be difficult to become elegant after a hundred years. Lord Jin, please eliminate the fire, and Lord Yang, please eliminate the fire."

Yang Shiqi also poured tea for the two of them, and said: "Science is just a small way in Ming Dynasty, but it is a sharp weapon in foreign countries. It is right for His Majesty to prohibit the export. As for making everyone look up to science, it is nothing."

"What is nothing? This matter can be big or small..."

Jin Youzi wanted to say more, but when he looked up and saw Yang Rong with a livid face, he finally endured it.

"I'll say it again, Your Majesty's health is not good, so try to keep your worries to a minimum!"

Yang Rong glanced over, everyone nodded, even Jin Youzi didn't dare to stand alone, otherwise he would be isolated sooner or later.

The embarrassing atmosphere will not be eliminated in a short period of time. Everyone gradually started to deal with political affairs, and Yang Rong went to see Zhu Di later.

"Is there a fuss?"

After Zhu Gaochi listened to his report on the political affairs, he asked with a smile.

Yang Rong gritted his teeth and hated secretly. He hated the person who reported the news to Zhu Gaochi.

"Your Majesty, it's just some debate, and the minister suppressed it later."

At this time, you can't lose your responsibility, so Zhu Gaochi said appreciatively: "I know it all, you did a good job."

Zhu Gaochi also took the responsibility to say that someone listened to them, but he refused to say that it was because the noise was so loud that people outside could not hear it.

"Your Majesty, I thought there would probably be a little restlessness in this matter, but the north is not so big, and the south... His Highness should be there, there shouldn't be any problems."

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "The crown prince has come to give a memorial. Last month, the south cleared out more than 300 small officials with bad deeds. The people rejoiced, and the southern officials silenced them... Is it really the main purpose of deterrence? Let me down! "

"It doesn't work if you don't urge them, don't they know about those rampant little officials?"

Zhu Gaochi was a little angry, and he clenched his fat hands into fists, "Indifference, let the small officials fish and eat the common people, where is this official? Ming Dynasty? I think it belongs to Meng Yuan! They are here to restore Meng Yuan!"

"His Majesty……"

Yang Rong knew that Zhu Gaochi was making use of the topic. If it were Zhu Di, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang would probably have to do it now, and the southern officialdom would immediately be shrouded in terror.

Zhu Gaochi relaxed his fist and said: "How many years have we talked about the administration of officials, from Emperor Taizu Gao to my place, why are those officials not willing to understand me or the common people? Where have all the sages' books gone?"

Yang Rong smiled wryly in his heart, Zhu Gaochi took advantage of the crown prince's achievements in rectifying officials in the south, and seamlessly praised himself as a scientific move.

...

"...Your Majesty asked, where did the sage books go?"

After returning to the value room, Yang Rong left behind these words.

No one in the duty room spoke, and Jin Youzi, who was filled with righteous indignation before, stared blankly at the teacup in his hand, while the others were all doing the things at hand expressionlessly.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Shiqi got up and went out. When he came to the door, he stood still and said, "Someone scolded me before, saying that they read the sage's book into the dog's stomach. Let's all live in peace and stop making trouble."

...

Science has become the 'treasure' coveted by foreigners, and this shocking news swept across the capital.

Some people despise foreigners for their ignorance, and they don't know how to buy some Confucian classics back home, so as to educate their own people.

Some people say that those foreigners are barbarians who don't understand etiquette and only know about benefits, so they will not last long.

But then something irritating happened.

The people from Dongchang checked in the post house, and found out that the post house staff was shoddy, and while retaining the 'entertainment fee', they also found the book that was still on the ground by the envoy of the meat-lost country.

That is the Confucianism classic presented by the emperor to the other party! It was thrown on the ground like a shoe, and there were footprints on it.

Too much deception!

The public opinion in the capital instantly reversed, and countless people clamored that they should attack Roumi Country,

Let them know what etiquette is and what is the kingdom of heaven.

Fang Xing, who was supposed to be in the eye of the storm, was unexpectedly calmed down.

...

"Pu Gu threw away the classics presented by His Majesty, but sent someone secretly to buy science books. Dehua, many people are already asking about the time for enrolling students next year."

Xie Jin was very proud. I don't know who honored him with some small chestnuts, which were very sweet after frying.

As soon as he gritted his teeth and peeled his hands, the small chestnut meat was thrown into his mouth.

"People from a few relatives came to ask, and they were evasive, but the old man refused immediately."

"Is it a collateral or a bastard?"

While Zhu Gaochi's divine assist made Fang Xing happy, he was also wary of exaggerating, or those people would put pressure on Zhu Gaochi.

As for the academy, the students who graduated from the previous batches have been sent by him to teach in various places, and he has to give a lot of subsidies every year for this. Mainly the expenses in various places, the most are renting houses and giving books.

"The old man reckons that it's probably a collateral lineage. If the concubine is sent here, there will definitely be a commotion in the family."

Even if the concubine of Xun Qi's family has no inheritance rights, it is not a problem to rely on the relationship in the family to get a good job. If you study science, you may be in vain if you are not sure about the job.

"Some people resist, so most of the students of science can only serve as minor officials, but minor officials can also be promoted, it depends on the individual's ability."

Fang Xing's righteous and dignified appearance made Xie Jin snort. He ate a chestnut, and said with a half-smile: "The prince is really cleaning up the small officials in the south for the purpose of ruling the officials?"

"I'm afraid it's killing two birds with one stone!"

Xie Jin's head is not ordinary smart, and he uncovered Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji's plan in Jinling in a few clicks.

"While rectifying the small officials to build momentum for the prince, at the same time using this opportunity to let those science students fill the vacancy, Dehua, you have taught the prince badly."

Fang Xing said in astonishment: "I didn't think about this at the time! Mr. Xie, this is a crime you want to impose..."

Sometimes the flesh of the little chestnut would stick to the shell, Xie Jin simply gnawed it, and then said with satisfaction: "You and the crown prince made this, and His Majesty took the opportunity to beat it quietly. Who would dare to make a fuss about it in the future? Your Majesty's words today are enough to gag."

Fang Xing still had a serious expression on his face, and Xie Jin didn't bother, but just sighed: "Your Majesty and the prince have a tacit understanding, the prince is digging the wall, and your majesty is running on the wall, so I have nothing to say about the running on those people." .”

...

Jian Yi is very troubled, no, it should be restless.

He received letters from friends in the south and many officials, all of which said that the prince pushed the science students up by taking the opportunity to clean up the small officials.

Those letters were all worried that the south would change color, implying that Jian Yi would do something.

"I was stopped by Yang Rong before I saw His Majesty. What I said made me blush. Where did I read the sage book? I wish I could hide my face and leave!"

The left and right servants were speechless, and finally the left servant smiled and said: "My lord, the officialdom in the south is complicated and difficult to deal with! They don't live up to themselves, and they still have the face to beg us for mediation..."

But the right servant said worriedly: "Emperor Taizu Gao and the first emperor have examples of Jian Ba, and there are precedents for small officials to be magistrates. My lord, I'm afraid of the future..."

Jian Yi knew that he was talking about Zhu Zhanji, but he smiled bitterly and said, "The official circles in the south are huddled together, and His Majesty wants to separate them from each other and blend in with the north, but..."

The servant on the right said in a low voice: "My lord, does your majesty want to use the disciples of science to check and balance us?"

Yi nodded. As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he must understand the emperor's mind in time, and then he can be targeted when recommending people.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the candidates recommended by Jian Yi were rarely rejected in the past. If...it doesn't take much, as long as Zhu Gaochi rejects him three times in a row, Jian Yi knows that he has to consciously invite the bones.

However, according to Jian Yi's estimation, if the children of science want to grab the class and seize power, it will have to be decades later, and Zhu Zhanji may not be able to see it.

At this moment, Jian Yi was struggling in his heart.

Use the status of Minister of the Ministry of Officials to suppress it secretly?

Or turn a blind eye and let the emperor to toss...

This is a difficult problem. If you don't do it well, you will lose your reputation, or be rejected by the emperor, and bring trouble to your descendants.

"My lord, the scientific officials have also seen it, but it's just some tricks and obscenity, and it's not elegant. Your Majesty and His Highness have valued it a lot, and the officials feel that it must be a check and balance!"

yes! This is checks and balances!

Jian Yi's heart suddenly became clear, Confucianism was dominant, and the emperor felt at a loss. Zhu Yuanzhang had tossed and killed many people when he was there. Zhu Dishi also humiliated and even suppressed civil officials. Zhu Gaochi...

Jian Yi let out a heavy breath and said, "Let's ignore it for now and see what Your Majesty wants."
