The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1349

[1349. Chapter 1282 One Emperor through the Ages]

Xiao Jing suddenly felt a sad feeling.

He is happy to serve His Majesty.

But we still have to be controlled by a female doll, so why did we cut ourselves in the first place?

Emperor Hongzhi was still unsatisfied: “In addition to the responsibilities of the Statistics Department, officials from various ministries must first be summoned to learn how to read the report and how to fill it out. Each ministry will then appoint personnel to go to the various ministers. Envoys, governors, and counties, all above and below, must learn, understand, and master the Liu Qing family.”

Liu Jian kept nodding.

He can read the report. This is a good thing. With such a thing, not only will it be easier to govern the world in the future, it will save a lot of effort, but it will also greatly reduce the possibility of being deceived.

This is why His Majesty placed the Statistics Department under the Cabinet. There must be a system independent of the six ministries.

His Majesty’s ordering factory guards to assist was obviously a well-thought-out approach.

Factory guards were incompatible with other ministries in the imperial court.

It is precisely because of the incompatibility between water and fire that we can prevent the officials below from manipulating statistics.

Liu Jiandao: “I’m here.”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Let’s copy the newspaper from the residence. Let’s blow the wind first, and then… By the way, successor, even if you count the academy, you will have a lot of students. Let them study first, and then… Appointing appointments to various prefectures and counties is a university question. It seems simple, but it requires rules and regulations. Therefore, it is necessary for local officials to learn well.”

Fang Jifan and Liu Jian both bowed and said, “obey .

“Edict.”

Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn’t imagine that this little girl, Fang Xiaofan, would be entrusted with such an important task.

Looking back now, it’s incredible.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and took another look at the report. At this time, he no longer treated Fang Xiaofan as a child, and said solemnly: “If the treasury is insufficient, I will take another hundred thousand taels of silver from the internal funds to serve as cash. This time, I will find out the real money and food of every state in the world. Xiaofan, you can go ahead and do it boldly. I will reward you when I arrive.”

Fang Xiaofan’s pretty face flushed with excitement: “Okay, your majesty, don’t worry, the wealth in the world is here. , I will give it to Your Majesty.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “The Fang family is really full of loyalty. Your father, in Huanghuangzhou, would be so happy if he knew that you two brothers and sisters are so outstanding. “I will write a letter to your father as a good news to him.”

Emperor Hongzhi then glanced at Xiao Jing: “Xiao Banban.”

Xiao Jing hunched over:

“My word, you are here.

Do you understand?”

“I understand, I will help Fang Sheren.”

Emperor Hongzhi said, “If it’s done, you have to contribute. If it doesn’t work, I won’t take care of Fang Qing’s family.

” In a word, it’s excusable.

The report was submitted by Fang Xiaofan. She is a calculation genius, but she is still young after all. She is responsible for it at a young age. Emperor Hongzhi would not believe it if she had other thoughts. Therefore, if things go wrong, although she There are faults, but not many. Nine times out of ten, it was the people below who deceived the superiors and refused to fully assist. Therefore, if Emperor Hongzhi had his grievances and debts, and if the factory guard was in trouble, it would be you, Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing said hurriedly and hard: “Yes, yes, I know.”

“That’s good.” Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “I’m waiting for your good news.”

At present, these reports are still too rough, and he looks forward to more detailed reports. The report came out, but…it would be impossible to sort out the entire world without more than a year of effort.

Emperor Hongzhi exhaled and looked around: “I’m tired too, let’s get going.”

As he said that, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly stopped, with a look of displeasure on his face, and said to Liu Jian: “Liu Qing’s family, there have been a lot of people lately. The Hanlin and Yushi report to the imperial court all the time, saying that Changping was the era of great governance. I don’t need to read these reports in the future. If there are still such reports to the cabinet, you don’t need to go to them, just stay in the center. “

Liu .

Jian’s face showed a look of shame.

Of course he knew what the scholars in Qingliu and Shilin were thinking.

This group of people are like drowning people. They are increasingly aware that their era is gradually moving away from them.

In the past, they were so proud of pointing the country and scolding Fang Qiu, but since the new learning gradually began to take root in the hearts of the people, they were like a group of abandoned children. In the court, the emperor paid less and less attention to them, but focused on The chief envoy of Baoding said that in the temple, the status of the Academy of Sciences was gradually consolidated. His Majesty was more inclined to follow the advice of the Academy of Sciences rather than the Hanlin Academy, which was proficient in literature and history.

Official selection has also begun to emerge, and gradually, the court relies on it.

Even in the imperial examination…no matter how hard it was for them to achieve anything, a lot of places were taken up by newcomers.

If things go on like this, their future can already be imagined.

In the past, those who could enter the Imperial Academy were regarded as a proud person and became an idol envied by thousands of people.

But now, the Hanlin Academy has begun to gradually decline.

They were like a group of drowning people, and at this moment, Mao Ji’s deeds in Changping became their life-saving straw. They grabbed this life-saving straw without hesitation, eager to tell the whole world that the court… had a choice.

Xinxue can make outstanding achievements in the Baoding Chief Envoy Department.

So can science.

Wasn’t the saint’s goal realized in Changping?

These people wrote letters like crazy, constantly praising and expressing their desire that Changping was the right path.

Overtly and covertly, they belittled the New Deal, and even… criticized His Highness the Crown Prince.

But these…

Liu Jian and others in the cabinet are in a dilemma. They know very well that they cannot stop the scholars in the world from talking, but Liu Jian does not agree with what happened in Changping. .

The new learning emphasizes the prosperity of the people and the strengthening of the country.

Neo-Confucianism emphasizes education.

They prefer the former.

Liu Jiandao: “Your Majesty…this is a memorial after all. If I keep it without permission, I’m afraid it will break the rules.”

The cabinet scholar does not have the right to choose what memorial can be delivered to the palace. If he keeps it without permission, he can keep it in the palace. , and itself is treacherous.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly: “These people sit and talk all day long and make arrogant comments about government affairs. This is intolerable and intolerable. Do you have to let me use my stick?”

“Your Majesty, this…” Liu Jian was even more embarrassed. .

If this continues, there will definitely be a conflict between Gongzhong and Qingliu.

If you criticize His Majesty, His Majesty has a good temper and will not care about it.

But… Liu Jian knew that they criticized the prince, and they criticized him again and again. This is something that His Majesty cannot tolerate.

“Your Majesty…” Fang Jifan said with a smile at the side.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but look at Fang Jifan.

But Fang Jifan looked pleased with himself: “Your Majesty, since they praise Mao Ji so much, I think this Mr. Mao Ji must be a great person. He has such virtues and can benefit the people through education. Why does your Majesty “Why don’t you reward Mr. Mao Ji?”

“What?” Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a puzzled expression.

Will I reward Mao Ji?

Fang Jifan said: “I believe that this is not only a reward, but also that officials from all over the world should go to Changping to take a look and see this peaceful world with their own eyes. Let them have a look at Mr. Mao Ji and his If the disciples’ political achievements are such that they don’t pick up lost things on the road and don’t close their doors at night, then everyone should go and see it, and then they can learn something about Changping’s success. “

“As the saying goes, success does not have to be my own .

It is beneficial to the military and civilians of the world, so why bother to distinguish between them and compete for superiority and inferiority? Although I built Xishan Academy to promote new learning, I admired the great Confucians in my heart and never expressed my disapproval. They have a sectarian view. Confucius said that if three people are walking together, they must have my teacher. Mr. Mao Ji has such talent and can rule the country and bring peace to the world with only the Four Books and Five Classics. He is exactly the role model for his son. I really want to learn more from him. Study and study.”

Looking at Fang Jifan’s sincere look.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a daze for a moment.

What this guy said actually makes sense.

When facing criticism from Neo-Confucianism, he was still able to treat everyone equally and succeeded to the vassal… He was indeed a loyal child.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed inwardly, clasping his hands behind his back, but he pondered: “It will be the New Year’s Eve soon. The Qing family said that it is not unreasonable to go and learn. In the past two years, I have ordered many of my ministers to go to Baoding Mansion. Let them go and see the new policy. Now, if Changping is really as people say, there is nothing wrong with letting the ministers go and see it and learn from it.”

Emperor Hongzhi changed his mind.

Instead of being disgusted with it, it is better to try to accept it and see what this era of great rule is like.

Of course…it’s the end of the year.

But his son is still in Changping.

He pondered for a moment: “Besides, Changping is only a day or two away from the capital. It might as well be like this. I will go and see it myself. Those who are willing to go to Changping to see something can also come with me. I… I want to pay a personal visit to Mr. Mao Ji and have a chat with him. Maybe I can gain something.”

Emperor Hongzhi said and glanced at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian was greatly relieved.

This is the difference between His Majesty and previous kings. Even if you are disgusted with a person, you can still calm down after getting angry. Since you have encountered opposition from these people, you might as well talk to Mao Ji to ease these conflicts. .

Anger cannot solve problems.

Your Majesty knows this better than you do.

It would be great if the conflict could be alleviated.

Liu Jian hurriedly said: “Your Majesty is wise.”

Xie Qian also looked relieved and echoed.

Only Li Dongyang gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look. He was smiling and thoughtful.

At this time, Fang Jifan was shaking his head: “Your Majesty is more than just a sage. He has surpassed Yao, Shun, and Saiyu Tang. The ancient sages are not as good as your Majesty.”
