I want to be a grandson

Chapter 621 Recommendation
"Your Majesty, "Lu Shi Chunqiu, Yongzhong" said: "There are no pure white foxes in the world, but there are pure white furs, and the white ones are taken. "

"...Therefore Meng Benyi who is fearless with all the courage, Wu Huo who is fearless with all the power, Li Lou who is fearless with everyone's esteem, Yao and Shun who is fearless with everyone's knowledge. Those who use the crowd to be fearless are the great treasures of the king. "

In the side hall of the Jinshen Hall, Zhu Yunxi was listening to a great Confucian lecture.

Although he is the emperor now, he still cannot stop his studies.

The virtuous kings in ancient times, especially when they were young, paid attention to learning.

Therefore, even the head of the rogue Pavilion, after becoming the emperor, can write well-known and famous articles that have been handed down through the ages, and the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi would also spare some time to listen to the lectures of Confucian scholars in the Imperial Academy to enrich his knowledge.

At this time, the name of Wang Shuying, who was sitting on the brocade bench and speaking, was a famous scholar.

Wang Shuying said: "Your Majesty, "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" focuses on examining the advantages and disadvantages of various schools and schools in the pre-Qin period, and focuses on absorbing their essence, trying to go beyond the views of the sect.

It said: "Lao Tan valued softness, Confucius valued benevolence, Mo Zhai valued Jian, Guan Yin valued Qing, Lie Zi valued Xu, Chen Pian valued Qi, Yang Sheng valued himself, Sun Bin valued power, Wang Liao valued the first, sons valued the queen, these ten people are all in the world. He is also a nobleman."

"Because "Lu's Spring and Autumn" has such an all-encompassing vision, it can extract the essence and use the macro, integrate a hundred schools of thought, and run through it with Taoism."

After hearing what he said, Zhu Yunxi looked at him, and he had some understanding in his heart, "Mr. Wang, as a king, should we also be inclusive and take advantage of his strengths?"

"Your Majesty's words are very kind!"

Wang Shuying said: "Your Majesty is an emperor, and he should extract the essence and use it like Lu's Spring and Autumn Period, and integrate the strengths of hundreds of schools, so that the world will be ruled!"

"Then what can Mr. Wang teach me?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuying immediately saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that His Majesty posted a notice in the Ministry of Households that year, saying that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked for Maocai and other edicts,
Gai has extraordinary merits, and he must treat extraordinary people. Gold has no feet and no one is perfect. At that time, His Majesty selected some talents, and now it seems that they are indeed very good. Congratulations from His Majesty Zeng Wei! "

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "I was young back then, and wanted to do something to share the worries of the emperor's grandfather, but now looking back, I am indeed a bit brazen...

Mr. Wang, do you have any great talents to recommend?Don't be shy, just say it. "

Wang Shuying laid the groundwork for so long, citing Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, and mentioning what she did back then,
It would be strange if it wasn't for the recommender!

Hearing this, Wang Shuying no longer concealed it, and said: "Your Majesty, I once met a man who was quite talented and learned, especially proficient in historical classics. On this point, even Chen was willing to be inferior and sighed."

"Mr. Wang is humble, but since you can praise him so much, he must be talented. I just don't know how you developed this person?"

"Report to Your Majesty..."

Wang Shuying replied, "Weichen once served as the county magistrate in Hanyang, and he is very familiar with the scholars and students in the Huguang area.

When I was in Jiangxia, I met a man and had a conversation with him. Although this man is not very old, he is full of knowledge and profound knowledge, which makes people admire..."

Recalling the scene of that day, Wang Shuying still vividly remembers it.

On the one hand, Wang Shuying is an official of the imperial court, on the other hand, he is also a literati, so he is very interested in mountains, rivers, strange things and scenery...

When I went out once, I met a young scholar, and the two chatted for a long time, which left a deep impression on him.

"Oh, I don't know who Mr. Wang is talking about? Since you learned from it, you shouldn't bury it." Zhu Yunxi said.

Wang Shuying said: "Your Majesty, this man's surname is Yang, his name is Shiqi, his name is Dongli, and he is originally from Taihe County, Ji'an Prefecture..."

Oh, it turned out to be him.

You'll know before he finishes talking about Zhu Yunxi!

That is Yang Shiqi, who has gone through five dynasties successively, served as a cabinet minister for more than 21 years, and served as the chief assistant for [-] years. He worked with Yang Rong, Yang Pu and others to assist the government.

"Mr. Wang, since you admire him so much, he must have no problem in learning, but I don't know his character and behavior?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yang Shiqi lost his father when he was one year old, and his mother remarried Luo Xing, who was then a fellow acquaintance of De'an, so he changed his surname to Luo. Later, when the Luo family worshiped their ancestors,
Young Yang Shiqi made clay statues to worship Yang's ancestors, and Luo Xing found out and praised his ambition, so he restored his family name..."

"Afterwards, Luo Xing passed away because he offended the rich and powerful and defended the border in Shaanxi. Yang Shiqi and his mother returned to De'an. Because the family had no property, and he had to take care of his mother, he had no choice but to find a job as a teacher. He taught and served his mother at the same time..."

He also explained: "Your Majesty, in order to fulfill his filial piety, he had to give up his official career. This person's conduct must not be bad..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "Since you have good character and talent, the imperial court should recruit you!"

Turning to Wang Zhong, who was on the side, said: "Let the Secretary of General Administration draw up an order to call Yang Shiqi to Beijing, and take up the post of Hanlin editor for the time being!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Wang Shuying knelt down and kowtowed.

Because His Majesty made such an exception, it was all because of his recommendation, so he had to thank him.

"Mr. Wang, don't be too polite, please get up quickly..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Mr. Wang, let's go on, it's still early."

"Wei Chen obeys."

Sitting on the chair, Zhu Yunxi was also lost in thought.

In the past few years of being an emperor, he has learned a truth. Sometimes, one cannot just use a person's behavior in history as the criterion for judging a person.

Take Yang Shiqi as an example, he was really annoying to hold an official position in the Yongle Dynasty, but it is unfair to use this to judge him as inferior and lacking in loyalty.

After all, it is difficult for people like Zhu Yunqi to gain people's loyalty.

For those loyal ministers who are loyal and generous to die, Zhu Yunxi agrees with him from the bottom of his heart, but he can't just shut out others because of this.

To be an emperor, you need to use people, you must use available people, even if there are flaws, you have to use them, so that you can achieve supremacy!
During the battle of Jingnan, Wang Shuying knew that the defeat was certain, so in order to show his loyalty to the imperial court, he bathed and changed his clothes, wrote a fatal poem, and hid it between his clothes.

Then he committed suicide under the Yinyao tree in Xuanmiao Temple, and the Tiantai Taoist Sheng Xinian buried him five miles west of the city.

Later, when his wife learned about her husband's self-recommendation, she also committed suicide in prison, and his two daughters committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well.

Therefore, Wang Shuying was full of loyalty, such a loyal person tried his best to recommend him, even if it was to show respect for him, Zhu Yunxi would recruit and appoint him.

And recommending talents for the country is also the duty of courtiers.

What's more, he himself is almost as famous a Confucian scholar as Fang Xiaoru...

A requisition document flew out of Beijing on a steed and headed west.

……

After a day of teaching, Yang Shiqi, in his thirties, was wearing a coarse long gown, packed his books, and left the school.

This school is the county school in the county. Among the students are many catering staff, and there are also family children sent by big families to study.
Yang Shiqi is not a lecturer of the current school, nor does he have a formal official position. He just comes here occasionally to give lectures on history to the students, and he is given some training in the school.

But even so, he was very satisfied!

Because he is the teacher in the school outside, responsible for giving lectures to the children, and he can go to the county school to earn some extra money,
This will earn a little more than before, and life will naturally be much better.

After leaving the county school, Yang Shiqi was on his way home and stopped by the fish market.

It was getting dark now, and there were no pedestrians in the fish market, only a few scattered vendors were packing their baskets and preparing to go home for dinner.

"How do you sell this fish?"

Walking up to a vendor who was packing up his things, he saw that there was still a fish lying on the ground straight and motionless, so Yang Shiqi stepped forward and asked.

"You want this?"

The vendor was visibly taken aback.

Because this fish has died long ago, and its size is not big,
It is estimated that he had fought with other fish before he died, so there were some wounds on his body, and some scales fell off, and he looked very embarrassed...

"Yes, how much?" Yang Shiqi asked.

"Then give me ten cents..."

The vendor put away his astonishment, knowing that he was a poor scholar, so he didn't say any more.

After paying the money, Yang Shiqi happily walked home with the fish.

Back home, Mrs. Yang picked up the dead fish and blamed him for wasting money.

But when he saw his son's yellow and thin face, he couldn't bear it.

The meal in the evening is very simple, a bowl of porridge, a cornbread, a dish of pickles, and a pot of fish soup that is not usually eaten.

But even so, the family ate happily, and most of the fish went into the children's bowls. This is the consensus of the family.

The next morning, after Yang Shiqi washed up and had a simple breakfast, he was about to go to school when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from afar.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and it didn't take long before he was outside the gate of his own courtyard.

Through the low earthen wall, Yang Shiqi could see them parked in front of his house, and then divided into two teams, obviously coming to his house...

Could they have gone to the wrong place?
This was the first question in Yang Shiqi's mind.

"Yang Xianggong, there is good news, Yang Xianggong, come out quickly..." Someone shouted.

In the room, Mrs. Yang and Mother Yang looked out through the window, but they were also at a loss.

"May I ask if this is Yang Shiqi's master Yang's residence?" asked the little official.

"Brother Yang Xian!"

Wearing an official uniform, the county magistrate walked into the yard and held Yang Shiqi's arm, looking extremely intimate, like a relative, friend and old friend reunited after a long absence,
"Brother Yang, after we parted last time, I don't want to see each other so soon! How nice..."

last time?

Oh, remembered.

The last time the county magistrate went to the county school to encourage scholars, the instruction in the school had introduced himself to him, but he almost passed by in front of him.

Are two people so affectionate?
After clearing up his mood, Yang Shiqi saluted and asked, "Tang Zun, I don't know what you can do for Tang Zun...?"

"Oh, when I saw Yang Xiandi patronizing and making out, I almost forgot the business!"

Hurry up and get someone to bring the documents for the imperial court's recruitment and appointment, and hand them to him: "My dear brother, look quickly, the imperial court appointed you to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy. My dear brother is going to be a great success!"

This kind of sign only needs to issue the appointment document, and there is no need for eunuchs to go there, let alone the emperor's imperial edict.

Looking at the official documents of the imperial court, Yang Shiqi was stunned for a while, and he felt a trance, and he couldn't believe it!
……

Sitting in the palace, Zhu Yunxi frowned as he looked at the memorial in front of him.

"Go, let them come to Jinshen Palace!"

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

After a while, generals Xu Huizu, Li Jinglong, Sheng Yongmei Yin, Geng Rui, and civil servants Qi Taitiexuan, Jian Yi and Bao Zhao came to the hall.

Also came with Ma He.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's congratulations!"

"Get up, sit down and talk!"

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

After everyone was seated, Zhu Yunxi held the memorial in his hand and said: "Just now, I received a memorial from Zhejiang. Japanese pirates appeared in three counties in Zhejiang.

Although the county seat was not breached, this gang of thieves plundered several towns and killed more than [-] people. The robbery was useless! "

It's Japanese pirates again!

And it's three counties!

"Tell me, what is going on!"

Tie Xuan knew more about the affairs of the Wa Nu Kingdom, and said, "Your Majesty, the war between the North and the South in the Wa Nu country is equal, but they are already exhausted.
Under such circumstances, the people of the Southern Dynasty became more and more brave..."

If military merit is judged by the head, many civilians must have been killed to receive the food necessary for survival!

After all, it's never uncommon to kill a good person and pretend to be a meritorious person!
"Now that our Ming Dynasty has cut off the supply to the Northern Dynasty, they can't cultivate the land to get food, and they can't get the supply. They will definitely take risks..."

Sheng Yong heard the words: "They are extremely hungry, and they will definitely find ways to get food. If this continues, they will definitely harass the coastal areas of Daming..."

Mei Yin said: "As the war becomes tighter and the number of casualties increases, many people will inevitably go into exile at sea and become bandits and bandits. They are relatively scattered, and it is not easy to wipe them out...

But it is very convenient for them to come to Daming, we can't guard against thieves every day, we should find ways to kill them completely, so as not to be poisonous..."

Li Jinglong made an impassioned statement: "These pirates are really hateful! They have repeatedly harassed Ming Dynasty, robbed property, and killed the people. Everyone will be punished if they get it! It's a shame to die!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to lead a team of soldiers and horses to the Japanese slave country, kill them all, and pull them out from the root! Only in this way can they be clean! Pay back this blood debt!"

Zhang Fu, who was standing by the side, also said: "Your Majesty, you can order the troops to be dispatched! The small Japanese slave country is a tiny place! Once the soldiers arrive tomorrow, there is no hope of them surviving!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "The battle hasn't been fought yet, so there's no reason to hurt your own family first! Li Jinglong, you are in charge of patrolling the coastal guards and presiding over the defense against Japanese pirates!"

"Yes, I obey!"

"Ma He, you lead the navy to eradicate the Japanese pirates entrenched on every island, leaving no one behind!"

"My minister obeys! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
