I want to be a grandson

Chapter 377 Tender seedlings need care

"Come on, give me a seat."

Zhu Yunxi took them to the nearby Benren Hall, and asked the eunuch to bring them stools.

Everyone hurriedly said, "How dare you sit in front of Your Highness, students?"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said, "Don't be cautious when you get here, just sit down."

At this time, the eunuchs had already placed the stools behind them, and everyone could only say: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Emperor Taisun!"

After speaking, he sat down with excitement and honor.

But they didn't dare to sit still, they only dared to sit on one-third of their buttocks, and they seemed ready to get up at any time to accept His Highness's inquiries.

They all straightened their backs and showed their best side.

Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair and said with a gentle smile: "I asked you to come here today because I want you to talk to this king. Although this king can call you by name, he doesn't know your situation. Say it all."

"Also, what kind of experience do you have in the Hanlin Academy or in your own positions? Tell me, and I'll listen."

"Yes, the students obey!"

Everyone felt very warm and comfortable, and at the same time very moved.

His Highness actually cared about his own trivial matters, cared about his experience in official career, so he took himself so seriously!
It's like a big leader suddenly comes to your home, asks you how you are, cares about your family situation, and cares about you, how is your work, whether you are tired...

Who can not be moved by this?

But everyone didn't open their mouths. On the one hand, it was because they were touched in their hearts, and on the other hand, they didn't know where to start.

After all, who has experienced such a good thing!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Why, don't you talk anymore? Han Kezhong, you were the one who talked the most that day, so you should take the lead!"

"Your Highness, forgive me..."

Han Kezhong said in embarrassment: "The student is abrupt... The student is from Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, Chengwu County. He has Gaotang's parents at home, but he is healthy and has no diseases. There are two brothers in the family.

One went to a county school and was provided with food from the government, and the other younger brother was studying social studies, and sometimes he also studied with his father... Your Highness, are the students talking too much? "

The others looked at Han Kezhong with a smile on their faces, wanting to laugh but not daring to make a sound.

Zhu Yunxi said: "There's no need to be wordy, that's exactly what I should say. This king also wants to hear what kind of family is kind, and can teach you good talents of the court..."

When everyone heard this, they were even more moved. Your Highness is really a corporal!

Han Kezhong continued: "After the student was lightly selected as a Jinshi by His Royal Highness, he entered the Imperial Academy to compile and write national history. After three months of writing, he was promoted to the Secretary of the Imperial Academy."

Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty. It is located at the foot of Jiming Mountain in Nanjing.

The secretary of the Imperial Academy, responsible for educational affairs, is almost similar to the director of academic affairs in later generations, and is the deputy chief of the Imperial Academy.

Zhu Yunxie said approvingly: "You have been promoted to the Secretary of the Imperial Academy so soon? This is a fourth-rank official position! It seems that you have indeed made some progress in your tenure."

Han Kezhong hurriedly said: "This is all a gift from His Highness. He was promoted at that time. The student thanked His Highness for his kindness..."

Han Kezhong felt that he was promoted because of his acquaintance with the emperor's grandson, so he was always grateful to Zhu Yunxi.

But is there Zhu Yunxi's credit for this? Han Kezhong's promotion speed in history is so fast!

In history, after he won the first prize, he was immediately appointed as the editor of the Imperial Academy, and three months later he became the secretary of the Imperial Academy.

The official position has also been promoted from the sixth rank to the sixth rank.

Therefore, many people are promoted and appointed, not step by step through qualifications.

Especially during the Hongwu period, the span of official positions was beyond imagination!
Zhu Yunxi asked, "What do you gain from being the Secretary of the Imperial College during this period?"

Han Kezhong bowed and saluted, his brows were slightly frowned, and he replied, "Reporting to Your Highness, after the students arrived at the Imperial College, they found... the school administration seems to be a little lax and chaotic..."

Feeling that what he said was inappropriate, he quickly said, "But this is all the student's own feeling, and I'm afraid it's not accurate."

But Zhu Yunxi said, "You don't have to be so secretive, just be what you should be, just tell the truth in front of this king!"

"Yes, students are taught and dare not lie to His Highness."

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and said: "Well, don't say anything about this matter, the king will go to the Imperial College to check, and then make a decision..."

"Yes, the students obey!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the crowd again and said: "Let's talk about it, let's talk freely today!"

"Yes, the students obey!"

I have to say that Zhu Yunxi is a very good listener.

And listening patiently like this is the greatest kindness to them!

Several of them started to cry while talking, wiped away their tears and continued.

The reason why they cried was not because of their miserable life experience or the ups and downs they had experienced, but because of the courteous reception from His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, which made them very excited!
Whenever they talk, Zhu Yun will look at them seriously, and will nod from time to time, or say a word or two of praise.

When they finished talking one by one, they didn't need to be promoted at all, and they had the common feeling that scholars would die for their confidants!
Zhu Yunxi looked at the crowd and said, "That's right, I am very pleased to hear about your experience in being an official!"

"The purpose of the scientific examination held by the imperial court is to select talents so that they can benefit the people all over the world. The reason why the people call officials parents officials is because of their every move and any order they give.
It's all about their life and death, so as officials, you must always think of the people and the people of the world in your heart, so that you can live up to my king's expectations..."

Everyone saluted and said: "Students, please remember, thank you for your teaching, Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "You guys are relatively free in the Imperial Academy. If you go to other places, you will be much more busy and will work hard.

However, the real pillars of the country must have the experience of governing the people, otherwise even if they are promoted, it will be difficult to understand the sufferings of the people. "

"This king is planning to appoint a group of officials to govern the region and protect the people of Ming Dynasty. I wonder if any of you are willing to do this hard work?...

Compared with the leisure of the Hanlin Academy, going to the local area will indeed be hard work.

But since His Royal Highness said so, who dares to say no?

Furthermore, today's scholars have not reached the point where empty talk is harmful to the country. Many scholars still have the heart to serve the imperial court and want to do something for the world.

And now they are very grateful to the emperor's grandson, let alone become local officials,

Even if they are allowed to hold weapons and go to the front to fight the Mongols, they will probably have no regrets!
Women are for those who please themselves, and scholars are dead for those who are confidants!

So everyone immediately stood up, bowed down to the ground, saluted and said: "Students are willing to go to the place to share the worries for His Highness! Please do it!"

"Good good!"

Zhu Yunxi stood up and said joyfully, "I am very relieved that you have this wish, please get up quickly!"

Instructed: "If you go to the local area, you will encounter many problems, and various forces will woo you and bribe you, some will directly bribe you, and some will bribe you gently."

"All kinds of tricks are coming out one after another, you must be careful. If you have any problems, or if you are framed, even if you are caught by someone, you can write a letter to report. This king will support you!"

"But if you are greedy for ink, collude with thieves, and poison the people, this king will strictly investigate and punish you, and you will never tolerate it!"

"Students, please remember, thank you Your Highness!"

The reason why Zhu Yunxi said this is because although these people have relatively high knowledge, they lack the experience of being an official after all.

They are still novices in the officialdom, and they are all officials for the first time. They need to deal with all kinds of people and beware of all kinds of open and hidden arrows.

If you are not careful, you will be framed, or you will be bribed without knowing it.

If you want to drag an official into the water, there are too many moves!It's hard to guard against!
And after the first time a person is caught by others, he will be manipulated by others and do corrupt things.

According to the Broken Window Theory, after a person fails, it is easy to break the can and smash it, completely turning into a corrupt official!
These are people who I promoted and appointed, so I must protect them!

After all, no one will become a veteran in the officialdom as soon as they come up!
Tender seedlings need to be cared for...

After seeing off these people, Zhu Yunxi felt very happy.

These people will serve as local county magistrates, and some will serve as officials in the government. If they are promoted, they will be able to master a government affairs in a few years.

When I ascend the throne, the world will be as solid as gold!
