Three cabinet ministers drank tea with Zhu Youtang. It happened that someone came in from outside the cabinet. It was Wang Ao, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Wang Ao was radiant today and his face was very good. When he entered the lobby of the cabinet, he saw Zhu Youtang.
There, Wang Ao smiled slightly and said respectfully: "May you be safe, Your Majesty."
Zhu Youtang smiled slightly, and suddenly remembered that Wang Ao was Liu Chengfeng's mentor, and said with a smile: "Why did Wang Aiqing come to the cabinet?"
Wang Ao replied: "The merit examination for this year of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been released, and I have sent it to several adults for review."
Zhu Youtang nodded, smiled faintly, and said, "Wang Aiqing is free to do it, I'll read the memorial." After that, he ignored Wang Ao and lowered his head to read the memorial.
It was common for the emperor and ministers to read memorials together in the Hongzhi Dynasty, so no one showed too much caution. Wang Ao directly took a copy of the memorials to Liu Jian and whispered to Liu Jian
talk.
"Master Liu, Wang Longwen, the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture, is the most controversial person. This year, the Heti River in Chengdu Prefecture burst. Wang Longwen wrote a letter saying that he would divert the people and move to the east of the river with the people of the two counties. The two counties became flooded overnight.
Ze, all the houses were destroyed. Now the Sichuan Provincial Governor's Office is criticizing him for allowing floods to inundate the farmland, but the Ministry of Industry says that he solved the flood problem and his merits outweighed his faults. This incident has caused a lot of commotion, with some scolding and some praising.
Yes, what do you think, adults?"
Liu Jian looked at a public examination document and seemed to be hesitating. After a moment, he had an idea and said: "There are only two ways to control floods: blocking and dredging. Although Wang Wenlong allowed the flood to flood two counties, he solved the problem."
He avoided the current flood, not to mention that no casualties were caused when relocating the people, which shows that he really tried his best. Logically speaking, he should write the word "you" in the public examination book, but then again, he acted arbitrarily and took the lead without asking for orders.
, although it is said to follow the authority in urgent matters, if everyone follows suit, the world will be in chaos. In this case, just remember the Chinese character."
It is said all over the world that among the three great ministers of the current imperial court, Liu Jian is good at judgment, Li Dongyang is good at planning, and Xie Qian is good at debating. It is indeed true. Liu Jian only took a moment to sort out the relationship between them clearly, although he seemed to be in a quarrel.
, but Wang Ao secretly admired Liu Jian's decision, which was at least the most compromise method.
Liu Jian read the articles of association for a while, and whispered a few words to Wang Ao from time to time. Zhu Youtang, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian also lit lamps on the papers and silently looked at the stacks of memorials.
After reading the articles of association, Liu Jian raised his head with a look of relief, a smile on his thin face, he smoothed his sparse long beard under his chin, and said leisurely: "Tingfang, you look good today.
What? Is there some happy event? I remember that your son is not young anymore. Has he made a good marriage? "
Wang Ao was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but laugh. He did have a happy event, but it wasn't his son getting married, but his chronic illness in the past few years was getting better and better after taking Liu Chengfeng's medicine.
In the past, I had searched for many doctors and asked for many medicines for my hidden disease. Now, the pain has been relieved a lot, and there is hope for recovery. Wang Ao naturally looks much more radiant. He thought to himself that his disciple did not make a mistake, even though he did things.
I was a little confused and often got into trouble, but I still made money.
How could Wang Ao talk to Liu Jian about this kind of thing? He just laughed and said, "Sir, you are joking. Dogs are unkind. It is still early to talk about marriage."
Liu Jian's eyes flashed, knowing that Wang Ao refused to say anything, so he smiled and exchanged a few words with him.
Just as he was talking, Liu Cheng's voice came from outside: "Slave Liu Cheng has seen Your Majesty..."
Zhu Youtang was interrupted by the voice, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes, but he still raised his eyes and said calmly: "Come in and talk."
In the Hongzhi Dynasty, the treatment of ministers and eunuchs was reversed. In the past, eunuchs were always trusted and could move freely in the forbidden palace, but now eunuchs are cautious. Everyone knows that if ministers make mistakes, most emperors will
I'm considerate, but if the eunuch dares to be arrogant, he will be close to death.
After listening to Zhu Youtang's words, Liu Cheng carefully carried the train of his robe and came in. He bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought back Liu Chengfeng's prescription."
Zhu Youtang hummed, and through the light in the room, he saw Liu Cheng's face was bruised and swollen, and said slowly: "Raise your head."
Liu Cheng immediately raised his head, but did not dare to look at Zhu Youtang with his eyes. He deliberately ducked aside for fear of offending Ni Lin.
"What's wrong with your face?"
When Zhu Youtang asked about this, a trace of anger immediately flashed in Liu Cheng's eyes. A small member of the Jinyi Guards Baihu actually dared to beat him unscrupulously. No matter how worthless Dongchang was, such a thing had never happened before. This
He had to take revenge, but... Liu Cheng understood at this time that Zhu Youtang asked him like this just out of curiosity, not concern. A eunuch is really dispensable to the current emperor.
, then Liu Chengfeng is now deceiving Prince Liu Chengfeng to study, and the emperor is trying to borrow money from him. How can he be punished because he is such a slave? The final result may be that the emperor minimizes the big issue, even if it is to punish himself.
Not necessarily even one meal.
When Liu Cheng thought of this, he didn't hesitate and said quickly: "The slave accidentally knocked me."
When he said this, Zhu Youtang stopped asking. In fact, Liu Cheng had a thorough understanding of his temperament. Zhu Youtang didn't care about the life and death of a slave at all. Now that his curiosity was gone, there was no more questions.
The investigating temperament just said slowly: "Bring me the prescription."
Liu Cheng said yes, then carefully bowed his body to Zhu Youtang's desk, placed the prescription on Zhu Youtang's desk, then stepped back and stood with a bow.
Zhu Youtang picked up the prescription. He didn't have much confidence in Liu Chengfeng's medical skills. He was just overjoyed when Liu Chengfeng proposed it. Zhu Youtang's interest in Liu Chengfeng's prescription was limited.
, just after seeing the prescription, he couldn't help but murmured in surprise and said: "The writing is vigorous, independent yet a bit flattering, the layout of the running script is excellent, these words are good."
Zhu Youtang couldn't help but wave to Liu Jian and said: "Liu Aiqing, you are also a master of running script. Come and see, which font of a master of running script in the past dynasties does this character imitate?"
Liu Jian also found it strange that Zhu Youtang could be amazed by the cursive calligraphy of a Jinyiwei Baihu? He wanted to see it, not just him, but everyone in the cabinet wanted to see it, and everyone who could enter the cabinet wanted to see it.
He was born in a shuji family, he was well-educated, and he was good at calligraphy. When everyone was chatting, they would not mention the famous figures of the past. When Zhu Youtang shouted, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Wang Ao couldn't help but gather around him.
Go up.
After seeing the prescription, everyone looked confused again. Only Wang Ao knew something in his heart, but he just remained silent.
After a long time, Liu Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I am old and dim-sighted, and I never remember that the sages of the past generations had such calligraphy."
What he said is true. The fonts in this prescription are bold and bold, but also have a hint of flattery, and are delicate and unique. It can be said to be a collection of the culmination of hundreds of schools of thought. The cursive scripts written by the masters of running script in the past dynasties are more than flattering.
, or else he is so unrestrained and passionate, I have never heard of anyone writing such a font.
After Liu Jian shook his head, Li Dongyang couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have little talent and knowledge, and I have never seen such running script."
Zhu Youtang couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "Did he create it himself?"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Even Liu Jian and Li Dongyang did not dare to create their own fonts in running script. This shows how difficult it is to form your own style. Even in ancient and modern times, such people do not dare to create their own fonts.
There will be more than twenty, but a young Jinyiwei Baihu wrote such a text, which is a bit ridiculous in the world.
Wang Ao, on the other hand, felt a little proud at this moment. He stroked his beard leisurely and wanted to shout out in his heart: "This Liu Chengfeng is my disciple of Wang Ao, and I am his mentor."
Zhu Youtang immediately said: "I can't see through this person more and more. When he was in the Imperial College, he made a decisive decision and eliminated a catastrophe. Later, he used some method to make Hou Zhao study.
Now it seems that this person is really quite talented. I heard that he was also a man of honor, but he was dismissed, right? What a pity. Such a running script must have good knowledge, but now he has become a pro-soldier.
.But having said that, this is fine, the emperor's personal army cannot be filled with warriors. The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with morality, and even the emperor's personal army should be filled with virtuous and knowledgeable people."
Zhu Youtang's words immediately resonated with everyone in the cabinet. Even Xie Qian, who had always been a little disgusted with Liu Chengfeng, couldn't help but nod like a chicken pecking at rice. To them, what is Qingping World? Qingping World is a scholar.
To control everything, there is no longer the East Factory and the Jinyi Guards. The emperor said that scholars should also serve in the Jinyi Guards. This is a bit like a political signal. How can Xie Qian shake his head?
