The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 39

The young Gu Yanwu trotted over to salute, "I have met you, Young Master."

With a 'shua' sound, Tang Yin's fan was thrown away, and Li Yunze, who had been fanning like this in this spring day, signaled, "Tell Shi Kefa and the others how to be a parent and how to deal with a thief."

"Yes."

Gu Yanwu, who was young but had an extraordinary bearing, immediately cupped his fists and bowed to many students, "Brothers, my little brother has made a fool of himself."

Everyone returned the salute one after another, "Please, brother Zhongqing."

"I'll wait to listen to my virtuous brother's high opinion."

There are indeed nerds who are stupid in reading, but those who may appear here at this time basically do not exist.

A shrewd person would have already seen it himself, or guessed Li Yunze's identity from his companions.

Although it has been more than [-] years since Zhu Yuanzhang designated the three colors of red, yellow and purple as exclusive to the royal family, the restrictions on the use of colors have been very relaxed.

But the color of bright yellow is still undoubtedly exclusive to the royal family.

In this capital city, Li Yunze's identity was ready to be revealed when he looked at the strong guards all around him.

In front of him, among other things, you must be sure about your demeanor, and you must not leave an impression of insolence.

Donglin's influence is great, but there are so many scholars in Daming, it is impossible for all of them to be from Donglin.

Li Yunze made a move to everyone in Donglin, clapping their hands and applauding that there are too many scholars.

"If you are a parent, you should act like a sage at the top to ensure that taxes and corvees will not be lost. The bottom is the common people, and you will litigate... When there is a disaster, you should try your best to rescue the disaster, and ask the sage court to reduce the tax and corvee for the exact amount. Be anxious about what the common people want, and what the sage court thinks."

Gu Yanwu, who is not yet young, has a straight body and talks eloquently, "If bandits come to the city, the common people should be mobilized to defend the city, and merchants and wealthy households in the city will donate their salaries. The students and archers will lead the people to defend the city, and fight the bandits to the end!"

Li Yunze waved his fan noncommittally, "If you can't keep it."

"If you can't keep it." Gu Yanwu paused for a moment, with a tragic expression on his face, "Immediately burn the Great Seal to sue yourself, and set fire to the official storehouse. Don't let the imperial materials fall into the hands of thieves."

"If it's a minister, minister" Gu Yanwu's expression was agitated, his tiger eyes clenched his fists with tears in his eyes, "you must use this body to raise your sword into the crowd of thieves and serve the saint!"

There was silence among the buildings, and an inexplicable atmosphere was slowly flowing.

Many students showed generosity on their faces, as if they wished they could die for their country right now.

Regarding these, Li Yunze was emotionally stable.

Of course it is easy to say, but how many people can really do this, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.

When the Ming Dynasty fell, there were indeed many loyal ministers who died for the country, but more of them were groveling, rushing to surrender, Qing came to surrender, and finally some house slaves with the surnames of the Communists remained.

"Hahaha~~~" Li Yunze smiled and raised his fan to point at Gu Yanwu, then turned his head to look at Sun Zhixie behind Shili, "Sun Qing's family, what do you think of this person?"

As soon as these words came out, it was immediately proving his identity.

Gu Yanwu immediately bowed down and saluted, and the scholars in the building woke up and followed up one after another.

Sun Zhixie, with a goatee, saluted respectfully, "Long live, this son is a man who can be made."

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were quite a few treacherous officials, but among them, Sun Zhixie was undoubtedly the best.

Even Hong Chengchou is slightly inferior to him.

One of the most famous things about this person is that he wrote a letter to the Tartars...

The famous '.' can be said to have come from his mouth.

At that time, the Chinese tradition was "the body, the hair and the skin, should be taken care of by the parents, and dare not harm it, this is the beginning of filial piety".

The people of Ming Dynasty died because of this, more than tens of millions.

Such a villain, of course, wants to live a good life. . .

"Sun Qing's words are very kind." Li Yunze nodded with a smile, got up and walked to Gu Yanwu's side, and handed him the fan in his hand, "This is for you."

Gu Yanwu leaned over and saluted, "Thank you saint."

"Take the exam well and study the Law of the Ming Dynasty more. If you are a parent, how can you not understand the law?"

The eyes of many students were bright, and they were secretly preparing to buy books and memorize them later.

Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Li Yunze secretly smiled, "It's not enough just to memorize the laws of the Ming Dynasty, all the cases are presented."You have to know how to use it. '

Before going downstairs, he told Gu Yanwu, "Your word...isn't this word..., change it."

After Li Yunze led his people away, many scholars rushed forward to greet Gu Yanwu.

There is no doubt that Gu Yanwu, a young man, has fallen into the eyes of a saint.

As long as the words "Old Zhu's family is all sand sculptures" are not written on the examination paper, it is inevitable to be named on the gold list.

Shi Kefa, who looked a little lonely, backed away, and looked enviously at Gu Yanwu, who was praised by everyone.

He felt that he was not bad, but it was a pity that he didn't get into the eyes of the saint.

When all the people were making a fuss and asked Gu Yanwu to treat him, Shi Kefa simply turned around and went downstairs, leaving the Zhuangyuan building.

The sun is shining today, but Shi Kefa's heart is shrouded in clouds.

Walking on the road is a bit muddled.

"Oops~~~"

Not surprisingly, he bumped into someone.

Seeing that the person hit was wearing a Confucian uniform, Shi Kefa hastily saluted, "I have offended you a lot, I hope you will forgive me."

Although the visitor was wearing a Confucian uniform, his complexion was dark and rough, as if he had just come out of a construction site.

He replied with a wry smile, "Brother, there is no need to be like this, I am being rude."

After some humility, the two got to know each other.

"Auspicious symbols can be used in history."

"Huating Chen Zilong."

"Huh? Is your honor Mr. Yifu?"

"I'm ashamed." Chen Zilong waved his hands again and again, "I'm young and ignorant, talking about state affairs. Fortunately, Long Live is kind enough to come to Beijing to take the imperial examination."

When Li Yunze went to Jiangnan, he was punished to serve in the military for his involvement in the society.

Li Yunze took pity on his performance of martyrdom in history, and did not take away his Confucian uniform, and even specially sent someone to bring him back to participate in the scientific examination.

Chen Zilong, who moved bricks on the construction site for more than half a year, has a deep understanding of the suffering of the people.

The arrogance on his body was washed away, and he no longer had the frivolity of the famous officials in the south of the Yangtze River before, and his whole person was as humble and polite as a reborn.

Shi Kefa, who was still worried about the matter of Zhuangyuan Building, immediately warmly invited Chen Zilong to have a drink or two at a roadside restaurant, mainly to ask about the propositions that the emperor promoted when he was in the south of the Yangtze River.

Since I came to participate in Enke, I naturally didn't want to be a round trip.

Shi Kefa wanted to know more about what the emperor cared about.

In this regard, Chen Zilong really has a say.

When he was in corvée, he really experienced the heat and coldness of the world, which is far beyond the comparison of those scholars who only know how to study hard.

The more they chatted, the more speculative they became. After a drink, they were already brothers and sisters.

After returning to the palace, Li Yunze entertained Sun Zhixie and Hong Chengchou in the imperial study.

"The two lovers presided over this scientific examination to select talents for the country. They should be serious and responsible, and there should be no favoritism."

Hong Chengchou is now the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and Sun Zhixie is a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.It is appropriate to preside over Enke's affairs.

"The question is ready." He picked up a paper and handed it to Wang Chengen, "You keep it safe and don't disclose it."

As the chief examiner, Hong Chengchou took the paper from Wang Chengen and saluted respectfully, "I will live up to the entrustment of Long Live. I dare not slack off in selecting talents for the country."

"Go."

Squinting his eyes and looking at the backs of the two leaving, Li Yunze rubbed his chin, "If you are, it will save me trouble. Who can hold three thousand dollars?"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Li Yunze began to scratch his head as he looked at the thick stack of memorials placed on the table.

To deal with a large number of official affairs every day, consumes a lot of time and energy.

I really want to be a foolish king, living in the Forbidden City all day, eating, drinking, having fun and playing hide-and-seek all day, wouldn't it be beautiful.

"This sense of responsibility has no place to rest~~~"

Li Yunze sighed, reached out and picked up the top memorial, "What's important today?"

The Ming cabinet at this time has been completely evacuated by Li Yunze using various means.

Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting were all sent to other places by him, and only the names were left in the cabinet.

And the rest were either Wen Tiren, who blamed the emperor, or Xu Guangqi, who was unwilling to be troublesome.

During Zhang Juzheng's period, the cabinet was almost as powerful as the prime minister, and now they have truly returned to their original position.

Specially responsible for sorting and filtering memorials from various places, and only has the right to make suggestions, but not to make decisions.

The most notable feature is that the memorial placed at the top no longer has the cabinet opinion posted on the memorial, which is commonly known as the "vote plan".

Worse than the cabinet is Wang Chengen, the eunuch who is in charge of rituals and holds pens.

In the past, when the Ming emperors reviewed the memorials, most of them only reviewed a few symbolically, and the rest were all written by the eunuch Bingbi.

When it was even more exaggerated, they didn't care about it at all, and handed it over to the eunuch Bingbi for review.

The reason why the great eunuchs are able to pour power into the government is because they have mastered the vermilion pen and the red coat.

Then replace the cabinet with your own people, and then it becomes a matter of making decisions and making decisions by one person, as is the case with Nine Thousand Years.

Conversely speaking, it is the same for the cabinet chiefs to befriend the chief eunuchs in the palace, such as Zhang Juzheng.

This is how he came to control the government.

Now Li Yunze has taken back all the rights, and insists on reviewing and correcting the memorials by himself.

What he paid, of course, was time and energy.

"Your Majesty." Wang Chengen responded respectfully, "Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, has written a book, saying that there is a severe drought in Shaanxi, and the green and yellow are not picking up. In Yan'an Prefecture and other places, there are Wang Er, Wang Daliang and other thieves. The first king, Jiayin, is the leader."

"Governor Sun has personally led the troops to suppress the situation, and I will ask the imperial court to allocate money and food for the soldiers, horses and disaster relief."

Opening Sun Chuanting's memorial, there are many contents in it, and there are hundreds of thousands of words by visual inspection.

The core content of the inside is "urgent, need support."

"That's all given to him." Li Yunze squeezed the memorial, sighed and smiled, "Forget it, it's better than the bandits rushing out of Shaanxi and wreaking havoc on the Central Plains."

Historically, the rogues from Shaanxi rushed into the Central Plains, turning the Central Plains into a piece of white land, causing countless losses in population and materials, and planted the root of the downfall of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Sun Chuanting has repeatedly reached out for money and food since he arrived in Shaanxi, he seems to regard Li Yunze's place as the pocket of a robot cat.

But in order to prevent bandits from breaking into the Central Plains, Li Yunze could only send money and food over and over again.

"Allocate 80 taels of internal funds, 200 bolts of cloth, and [-] million shi of grain to Sun Chuanting."

Sun Chuanting is not short of money now, what he lacks is food.

In times of famine, as long as there is food, some people join the army or bandits.

Write the reply on the memorial and hand it to Wang Chengen.

The current eunuch in charge of ceremonies and seals is Cao Huachun, but he is only in name, and his main job is still in Dongchang.

Therefore, the great seal is kept by Wang Chengen.

Use the seal in front of the emperor, and then close it and send it back to the cabinet. After the cabinet attaches it, it can be officially issued for execution.

He casually picked up the second memorial, opened it and looked at it for a while, Li Yunze sat up straight, and slapped the table.

"How dare you!"

Wang Chengen on the side held his breath and lowered his head, pretending that he didn't exist.

The content of this memorial is that Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, impeached the right servant of the Ministry of War, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, wanted to kill the minister without authorization!
