Chapter 114 The real purpose behind the preliminary screening
After the imperial edict was delivered, the Hanlin scholars suddenly lost their interest in talking and went back to their rooms.
For the initial screening, it will be based on articles, and everyone will be an opponent!
After passing the preliminary screening, what is the next step to make the selection?
"Everyone who is recommended must pass this test!" Wang Qiong said to Wang Shouren, "With your talent, this preliminary screening is not a problem. But if you want to sit on the top chair in the imperial study, you have to do something
Ready to argue with other scholars!"
Wang Shouren only felt that his target was already shining brightly.
The bachelor who served as lecturer had never served as a lecturer before. The emperor, who was not prepared to study at all, just wanted to use him as a tool!
But the Chief of the Imperial Study...is indeed a good fit for him.
He did not need to be constrained by his Neo-Confucian subordinates after taking up any actual position. He could not only use his rich experience in state affairs to influence the direction of many major events, but he was also prominent enough to be remembered in history.
It’s also very fragrant…
He was conscientious and calm: "If I win this position, I will not mention my contribution to quelling the chaos. I will argue with the scholars... Your Majesty, this can be regarded as an opportunity for me."
Although the emperor was not prepared to cause chaos due to intellectual disputes, he still gave him an opportunity to fully demonstrate his opinions.
"Don't be in a hurry, start from the easy to the deep, and take your time. Just use the method I teach you. You have seen how to do it before. First, sex..."
I will say whatever comes to mind, and I will not give you a source when quoting scriptures. If you are not knowledgeable enough and your memory is not good enough, you will be disgusted by some articles.
Zhu Houcong had finished reading the book, put it down and looked at him: "Tell me."
Totally unsystematic and extremely poorly targeted!
That's the good thing about being an emperor, otherwise in this era, how could one get so many targeted "paper materials" with just one decree?
Learning requires methods.
Just as he started planning to work on the selection of the other two cabinet ministers and the chief scholar of the imperial study, the emperor came out with another imperial edict: for the chief of the imperial study, all officials from the third rank and above can recommend people with outstanding talents. First, they should be screened for their knowledge.
, and then debate to choose the best, and finally the national policy meeting will decide on the candidate.
"You are already the companions of the Imperial Study Room, but if you want to become the chief, you need to double the number, six articles each!"
Seeing that she was familiar with the method, Zhu Houcong walked towards the Zhongyuan Hall with his hands behind his back.
"I obey the decree." Yan Song was eager to do so.
It's just a pity that it's a little late...
But is this considered messy?
After returning from the national policy meeting that day, Yang Tinghe sat in the study for a long time and said to Yang Shen, "If Yan Weizhong comes to visit, just invite him." Only then did he realize that his son had stopped him several times.
No one in the world would have thought that the emperor's grand "election" for the chief of the imperial study room would actually have a heart-breaking purpose.
He has to use his more systematic approach.
Yang Tinghe came back to his senses and gave some advice: "Your thoughts on the meaning of these three classics should be written in a pragmatic way. Your Majesty does not want to promote the study of mind and replace Neo-Confucianism. Your Majesty just wants to make this water alive."
Zhu Houcong also learned that he did not need to finish reviewing all the memorials every day. Yan Song, who was obsessed with progress, temporarily tried his best to prioritize the contents of the memorials at his request, so Zhu Houcong would have more time.
"...Father." Yang Shen, who came back from seeing off the guests, looked at him worriedly.
"...Your Majesty, there are so many, this servant will be breathless."
Many opinions, highlighting one that is vague and random.
Yang Shen nodded silently. His mood had been equally heavy these days: he had been scolded by his father, and he also fully understood the difficulty of his father's current situation.
"Are you still hiding your clumsiness this time?"
So when he saw another memorial the next day, based on his current understanding of Zhu Houcong, he solemnly said after Zhu Houcong came to the imperial study: "I think this memorial is inappropriate for drafting the cabinet vote!"
"
I'm really tired.
Yang Tinghe looked at the current Manchu Dynasty and determined that Yan Song had both sufficient motivation and sufficient strength.
She had to first find the source from the Four Books and Five Classics and other classics according to the method set by the emperor, and then mark the meaning and insights of those classics with the numbered index written by the emperor on a piece of paper, just like doing sentence reading.
At the same time, I sorted out different people’s explanations of important terms in Neo-Confucianism that I was already somewhat familiar with, and excerpted them into a special booklet.
"Are you going to hurry up?" What he was asking now was his younger brother Yang Tingyi.
Now it was Zhu Qingping who felt the pain first.
…
If two ministers are replaced, how many high-ranking officials of the third rank or above will be disturbed?
Yang Tinghe felt quite exhausted mentally and physically, and had to finish the task of cleaning up the Huangzhuang Huangdian that he had taken charge of.
"In the ninth year of Zhengde, when Wu Shilang was appointed as the right chief envoy of Guangdong, he instituted the "Law of Tribute Transaction of Fans and Ships". Merchant ships from feudal lords and barbarians could come to our country at any time in the Ming Dynasty, and they could pay taxes and trade when they arrived in Guangdong. As soon as this came out, the vassal merchants
The barbarian merchant ships came one after another. However, although this method has the wonderful effect of opening up the world, Wu Shilang was also impeached. After the Franji merchant ship also came, it was even more complicated. The previous situation is: I am one of the tributary countries of the Ming Dynasty.
The Manalajia located in Nanyang was overthrown by the Franji people in the sixth year of Zhengde..."
Yan Song briefly explained on the side that this was the "tacit working understanding" formed during this period: "Although the imperial court in the 14th year of Zhengde allowed the Franji people to come to Beijing to discuss tribute matters, Yan Guan had always wanted to practice because of his great reputation.
Flangji said that the Flangji people bribed Jiang Bin again, so I went to Shu to request the expulsion of the Flangji people on Tuen Mun Island. Now I went to Shu to talk about the matter again, and the cabinet thought it was okay, but I remembered the source of the matter."
…
Before falling asleep, the two tried it for a few nights and found that the posture was wrong, so Zhu Houcong changed his mind.
Wang Shouren smiled meaningfully: "Since Yangming knows the military, he naturally strives to achieve full success."
Rather than letting Wang Shouren reach that position, it would be better to recommend Yan Song.
How can we talk about making concerted efforts under such circumstances?
Liu Long didn't want to be the chief of the royal study, but he didn't dare to talk too much.
While he could chat privately with Zhu Qingping, he also had to listen to the lecture - anyway, he just listened, no one forced him to ask any questions or test him.
Neither Zhu Xi nor many subsequent Neo-Confucianists used the method that Zhu Houcong was familiar with to sort it out in a more organized manner and clearly express Neo-Confucianism's worldview, outlook on life, values, methodology and other things.
Zhu Houcong is watching.
When the news about the eighteen top spots came out, the front wave continued to surge, and the back wave also began to beat hard.
Zhu Houcong listened to him talk about the matter related to the tribute trade in Guangdong in an orderly manner, including Wu Tingju, the pirates and Japanese pirates on the sea route outside Dianbai Port in Gaozhou, and the harvest of the Guangdong Shipping Department when Wu Tingju was in office.
Huge profits.
"It has been arranged. We will invite them all to come to the capital no matter what. Without the position of chief accompanying bachelor in the imperial study, Wang Shouren cannot be allowed to enter the imperial study openly." Yang Tingyi was extremely solemn, and then looked at Yang Shen,
"Yongxiu, you also need to go all out this time. To gain insights from the three chapters of the sutra, you must work hard!"
After discussing for a long time in the mansion, Yang Tinghe, who was sitting alone in the chair, really showed the sad expression that Liang Chu imagined.
This is Zhu Houcong's inductive analysis method, and Zhu Qingping is a tool beauty.
Habits can be a very powerful force, which is why Yan Song is going all out now.
Even he is not sure whether the emperor's candidate for chief imperial study is Wang Shouren or Yan Song, or whether he has other goals.
Will the Yang family be enemies with all other courtiers?
In other words, they were doing academic work and did not have the so-called academic paper standards of later generations.
Zhu Houcong's original purpose was to give his opinions and then see the feedback or implementation effects. This is a learning process, so with the attitude of first respecting the opinions of cabinet ministers and trusting their abilities, the work of approving memorials and comments is now much more efficient.
So now, Zhu Qingping started to do trivial tasks.
"Today we will talk about the Book of Rites."
The content of the conversation is thought-provoking, but this is very serious academic research.
There are also servants in the Zhongyuan Hall. Huang Jin, Yan Song, and Liu Long read the memorials submitted to the imperial study for approval every morning.
The emperor not only allowed civil servants to enter the process of criticizing red officials, but also delegated a lot of power to cabinet ministers Jiuqing. My father could not find any position to oppose such changes.
The wind is high and the waves are strong.
After so many rounds, Yang Tinghe finally got to know Zhu Houcong better and better.
"There is another way!" Yang Tingyi said, "Now it's just that Wang Xian is still worried about the abolition and re-establishment of the three major battalions as an excuse, and suppresses Chen Hao's statement of merit and says that we will take the next step. If he can tell his merits as soon as possible,
If we work together to promote Wang Boan's conferment, we can alleviate this worry."
"Now I just want to implement the few new policies that His Majesty is worried about in the edict of ascending the throne. In addition, it is the fundamental matter of Neo-Confucianism." Yang Tinghe said slowly, "Besides the nine cabinet ministers, I want to block Wang Bo'an from being the third.
Guan, only the group debate next month left him speechless. Several old scholars and senior officials have their own merits in terms of knowledge and history. We must allow them to arrive in Beijing within the month."
He didn't dare to neglect Yang Tan because of his guilt, but the clan represented by Cai Zhen and the ministers behind Zhang Jin...
Of course Yang Tinghe knew this method, but at this moment, the words "work together" seemed harsh.
Zhu Qingping worked for the emperor with a grimace, took a pen and began to sort out the insights and insights on the classics and meanings submitted by Hanlin bachelors and those who had Jinshi origins in the Manchu Dynasty and were recommended.
Yan Song also rarely began to enjoy the days when he could go home on time - although Yan Shifan had been sent to the official school of Jinyi Weisheren, Yan Song actually wanted to stay with the emperor more.
The three levels are set very reasonably: the chief of the imperial study room is to assist the emperor in making decisions and approving Zhu. Such a large amount of memorials and comments does require very agile thinking.
Assisted by three people, both Yan Song and Liu Long can say whether the opinions on the cabinet vote are accurate or not, the reasons and what opinions can be given - of course, Yan Song mainly has the say.
He listened quietly before looking at Yan Song, and then asked Huang Jin: "When was this book delivered?"
"Chang Chaohou just arrived today."
Zhu Houcong looked at Yan Song deeply.
Do you really have such profound knowledge that you can explain it after seeing this passage?
