Chapter 362 The first hero of the Jiajing Dynasty to enter the temple
Chapter 362 The first hero to enter the temple during the Jiajing Dynasty
It was not suitable for Zhu Houcong to visit Yang Yiqing's condition in person. The emperor regarded Yang Yiqing as ill and wanted to see him for the last time.
But you can send someone there.
The news Huang Jin brought when he came back was very clear: it felt like the oil was running out.
"It seems that Zhang Fujing's petition has made him worry too much during this period." Zhu Houcong said softly, and then asked, "Does General Staff Yang have anything to say to me?"
"Yes!" Huang Jin immediately replied, "General Counselor Yang said: Since Your Majesty has made an exception and made Tang Shunzhi the governor of Xuanda, he should be allowed to perform meritorious service as soon as possible. If Tang Shunzhi goes to the three sides, I will not invade Xuanda."
Zhu Houcong's eyes flashed: "Let Tang Shunzhi go to the three sides? How can he convince the public?"
"Although I didn't ask this question, General Staff Yang said that he is Uncle Jingbian. If your Majesty is not afraid of his great achievements in the future, you don't have to spend years to polish off such a peerless talent."
Zhu Houcong was silent.
Yang Yiqing even said the words "Master of High Gong Zhen" as if he was giving his last words.
A peerless talent? Zhu Houcong naturally knew Tang Shunzhi's abilities, but he didn't expect Yang Yiqing to think so highly of him.
Yan Song, who sat in the position of the Minister of Rites, made a fuss about culture and education. After this attitude spread to Southern Zhili, people in Southern Zhili had to consider a problem: the Minister of Rites admired the new learning, so he disliked the scholars from Jiangnan for the new learning.
In the next general examination, will there be fewer people from South Zhili who can pass the Jinshi exam?
If they no longer put so much emphasis on their profound knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, those poets and calligraphers in Jiangnan will naturally break away from the old forces that are now vaguely united - there are still many people who think that the knowledge of sages has long been on the road, and now the new learning misinterprets the classics
. Why do modern people not have to be inferior to the ancients? How much do they hope that everything can return to the situation ten years ago?
But that was just a timid hope at the end, hoping that there would be some changes, hoping that His Majesty could deeply understand why Nanjing is the capital of the country.
Zhu Houcong felt a headache.
Then, the bells rang continuously, and all the counselors suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and looked at the empty chair.
The results of the joint examination in the eighth year of Jiajing's reign were indeed a stimulus to Southern Zhili. Coupled with the direct recruitment of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing, the Jiangnan officials and gentry saw the crisis in the future.
Someone just spoke in the silence, and suddenly heard the muffled sound of bells coming from the west.
There was an empty seat at the table, and that seat belonged to Yang Yiqing.
"Your Majesty's ambition is beyond the reach of all the wise emperors of the past dynasties. Only then can we have the National Policy Conference and the State Affairs Hall. It is just a trivial matter whether we should set up the Huaiyang Chief Envoy. The officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have lagged behind the other provinces. Do you know whether you want to change or not?
It is important to be willing to change. Jiangnan, directly under the direct control of Jiangnan, is the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Yiqing was seriously ill. Wang Xian and even Chen Jiuchou, who had been thinking about this matter for several days, were moved in their hearts, and then they hid the trace of longing in their eyes.
The emperor was not present, and Jiang Rubi, the chief of the imperial study, could sit at the table of the national policy meeting.
Of course it is, even he is worried about this problem. There were champions in ancient times, which does not mean that young people cannot achieve extraordinary achievements. But Huo Qubing is a pure military general, but Tang Shunzhi is a civil servant. The more suitable position is to be a commander, to control the overall situation.
.
Yan Song was only prepared to say something when it was his turn and he had to speak.
Of course, he would only say some righteous words and focus on the problems existing in Jiangnan. No matter what, it is always good to help His Majesty obtain more practical benefits from Jiangnan.
This guy has more profound plans.
There is indeed an element of gambling in it, but who knows what the emperor's final decision will be? As a new law general who the emperor has great trust in, Zhang Fujing's petition has been suppressed for more than two months before being discussed, which has proved that the emperor has many concerns.
The memorial was not ordered by the emperor.
The news had to be spread to the palace before the bell was ordered to be rung, so the news that Yang Yiqing's house was already in a state of silence naturally soon became known to more people.
In terms of planning, it can be regarded as collective wisdom at that time. It started with the emperor's bold idea, and several people in the middle praised and perfected the details. Later, as the battle situation continued to change, Wang Shouren settled on the fighter plan created by Duoyan Sanwei.
Yang Yiqing's suggestion has more than that.
Now, every time he attends a national policy meeting, Yan Song must be mentally prepared in advance to deal with the arguments from so many people.
Everyone else was thinking about Yan Song's words and knew that this issue touched on some fundamentals.
During the battle of Xuanda, Tang Shunzhi stayed in Huai Lai and did not have many outstanding achievements. Perhaps only people like Yang Yiqing know how much Tang Shunzhi served as the governor of Xuanda at such an age and straightened out everything in the rear area at that time.
not easy.
"Has General Staff Yang elaborated on why Tang Shunzhi went to the three sides and I will not invade Xuanda?"
So when it was his turn, Yan Song spoke slowly: "I was born in Jiangxi and served as governor of Zhejiang. There is no need to say much about the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. However, your Majesty's greatest concern is how to make the country rich. This is why we have a new law.
Since the fifth year of Jiajing, all provinces have gradually implemented the new law. Even though Northern Zhili does not have various departments like other provinces, all prefectures and counties have changed the new system. Only Southern Zhili still maintains the old system."
"But now, aren't there invaders on the three sides every year? The Tatars just died in a big sweat, but they are not completely dead..."
Faced with the undercurrent currently surging due to the proposal to split Southern Zhili, this appointment can clearly imply to the government and the public that the emperor's will is the greatest.
Zhu Houcong's eyes flashed with brilliance: It also included Yang Yiqing's own posthumous grace.
As the proposer, Zhang Fujing naturally explained the reasons first.
"The emperor was entrusted by heaven, and the edict said: I suddenly heard that Duke Yang Taibao passed away, and the Ming Dynasty lost a pillar, and I was deeply saddened. Yang Qing was knowledgeable and good at making changes, and he was especially good at affairs. His virtue and talent were unparalleled. He entered the court at the age of eighteen and served the country all his life.
, he has made contributions in all four dynasties. He served as the General Staff for more than four years, dedicated his life to his country, sacrificed his country and forgot his family. Now that he passed away suddenly, I lost my humerus and lost my good teacher. The Ministry of Rites offered sacrifices and discussed the posthumous title, and the Ministry of Works granted burial in order to express my condolences. Yang Qing
Ying Ning gave posthumously to Taifu, Uncle An Ning, and the God Lord to enter the temple and wait for me to feast on blood together for a thousand years. His son Shao Fang was granted the title of Duke of Anning County. I admire this."
It's so tiring and annoying.
In March of Yangchun, the first formal discussion on the proposal to establish the Huaiyang Chief Envoy was finally held in the National Policy Hall.
The establishment of the State Council and the Prime Minister with real power will bring about great changes in the officialdom in the future. But as long as the emperor still exists, no matter what position the officials can hold, it will always be the same two words: holy family.
But now the people in the inner city heard the nine bells and knew that a very prominent minister had passed away.
In the capital city, the sound of bells cannot travel very far. After all, the new bell tower in the outer city outside Zhengyangmen is still under construction, and there will be a bigger bell there in the future. In this way, there are old bell towers in the north of the inner city on the central axis.
There are also new bell and drum towers in the outer city, which will be convenient for the officials and citizens of Beijing on a larger scale in the future.
Now the Minister of Rites said from the perspective of culture and education: To conform to the general trend, Jiangnan is not the Jiangnan of Nanzhili, but the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty.
If the exception becomes the rule, it will be chaotic.
It's not like he didn't think about Yang Yiqing's possibility of entering the temple like others, but he always felt that Yang Yiqing might be a little short of it.
Now he also interpreted something from the emperor's non-appearance. Regarding the problem of Southern Zhili, the emperor currently only wants to gain real benefits.
Yan Song sat there, focusing mainly on Fei Hong.
But this will was not directly given to the splitting of Southern Zhili, but to military affairs.
This does not hinder discussion of the issue.
The position of the general manager is far away from them, but the position of the general staff is very close to them.
In this case, why can't we use this matter as a threat now? It's no longer the sixteenth year of Zhengde, and the emperor's position is as stable as Mount Tai...
Mao Ji, who was also sitting in the hall, remembered what His Majesty said in anger when he was killing officials in Southeast: If the case is not solved, there will be no examinations in Southern Zhili and the two provinces for ten years!
Yan Song still remembered this sentence, and he was sure that the emperor was biased against the officials and gentry in Jiangnan.
The size depends on the emperor's attitude.
The emperor did not come today, which makes it even more obvious that the emperor's attitude is the most important.
They glanced at the clock in the National Policy Palace in confusion, and saw that it wasn't even the hour yet.
But the 24-year-old Trilateral Governor, even though he has the title of Jingbian Bo, can he really suppress the powerful civil servants? In Xuanda, he only assisted Wang Xian, and was defeated in a superficial confrontation.
Come and get rid of the job of taking care of food and wages.
An important sentence was resounding in the National Policy Palace, and Yan Song finally said: "This new law can make Guangdong become increasingly prosperous and produce talents in large numbers, and Jiangnan should benefit even more. It is also a new system for all the kings to be present here to discuss national policies.
Your Majesty has great trust in the interests of the State Council. It is clear to all of you why Zhang Guowen asked for the appointment of the Huaiyang Chief Envoy. Therefore, I think that if there is no Huaiyang Chief Envoy, the officials in Jiangnan will be able to adapt to the general trend.
It is a great thing to resolve the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, ensure the peace of Jiangnan, and make Jiangnan increasingly prosperous and prosperous in culture and education!"
So it will be noisier today.
You must know that the war situation was constantly changing at that time. Wang Xian could only go to the west to take care of the affairs of Datong and the army to the west of Xuanfu. During the process of escorting the army and surrounding Bodi in the east of Xuanfu, Tang Shunzhi was essentially doing the logistics.
Responsible work of safeguarding.
"It is said that after the public consort enjoys the Ancestral Temple, the heroes of the new dynasty will definitely enter the temple in the future. Yang Ge is still alive, so naturally there will be no meeting. Now that General Staff Yang has passed away, there are still many people who are planning to declare a great battle to kill the Tatar Khan.
I don’t know if I can enter the temple with my merits in this world.”
"That was the unparalleled feat of killing the Tatar Khan!"
When describing his merits, Yang Yiqing declined many promotions because he believed that he did not have much merit and was just what the general staff should do.
Fei Hongsurong stood up slowly: "I'm afraid San Nangong has left. Let's discuss it here for now. It's time to see him off."
"Uncle Da Zong's words are serious. Jiangnan is naturally the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty..."
This appointment... is actually a reminder to the ruling and opposition parties, right?
He said lightly that Zhang Fujing's proposal was not a big deal, but whether Jiang Nan changed his mind would be a big deal. He avoided expressing his position on the current acute issue, but also pointed to the essence of the issue, such as an issue that the Minister of Rites should be concerned about.
After he pointed out this fact, he changed the topic: "Now that I am the Minister of Rites, I will only talk about Jiangnan culture and education. I think all the counselors must have their own understanding of the wonderfulness of the new learning. Each province has established three schools: major, middle and minor.
Zhili is the slowest, why? The examination syllabus and the academic system have been changed, and poets and calligraphers in southern Zhili are resisting in every possible way. Children from poor families have more paths to take, but they have fewer paths to take. Is the new school just coming out now? How many years has it been?
, resting on their laurels. In last year’s general examination, the number of Zhili people in Zhongnan and Zhili who were elected as chief and deputy candidates was much lower than before, which is clear evidence."
As the Minister of Rites, Yan Song is of course very busy. With Yang Yiqing's status, it is natural that His Majesty will bury and offer sacrifices to Yang Yiqing. The imperial court will be responsible for Yang Yiqing's funeral expenses and bestow favors and honors. Correspondingly, he will grant posthumous titles, posthumous official positions, and favors.
Nothing less.
…
This has been a custom since the death of Ding Guogong Xu Guangzuo. When an important minister passed away, the bell tower in Huangming University rang nine bells to express condolences.
Fei Hong's expression showed nothing, but Yan Song saw that some people were eager to give a try and were ready to refute.
But when we arrived at the Yang Mansion and were arranging the preliminary matters for the funeral in the name of the Ministry of Rites, the imperial edict from the palace arrived.
In terms of combat, it was Yu Dayou and Guo Xun who first withstood the possible ravages caused by the captives in Datong. It was His Majesty's personal expedition that stabilized the morale of the Xuanfu army that might have been completely lost due to the defeat of Yutailing and Wanquan Right Guards.
In the Battle of Luohangou, Li Jin, Fu Duo, Yan Chunsheng, Li Quanli, Zhu Qi and others fought to the death.
Times have changed to this day, and military orders and political order processes have become several times more complicated. There are civil and military systems, internal ministers supervising the army, food and grass support...
For some reason, Yan Song suddenly missed the beginning of this national policy meeting.
"The servant asked this. General Staff Yang said that when Tang Shunzhi went to the three sides, Gunbilik must have thought that he could not convince the people and the three sides were unstable, so he invaded the three sides. I replied that I would only sit back and enjoy the gains, and watch Gunbilik suffer.
.”
After a long time, Zhu Houcong paused while tapping his fingers slowly on the imperial desk. His expression was a little stunned and a little surprised.
At that time, there were even fewer people qualified to sit here.
Since everyone knows that the emperor will not express his position today, they will naturally argue even more fiercely.
How much does the existence of the Nanjing Six Division have to do with them? They are still young, and their expectations for their future are not in Nanjing, but in Beijing.
Among civil servants, how many people would try to get this holy favor and get an exceptional opportunity? Especially those officials of the younger generation.
Of course, Tang Shunzhi's appointment as the governor of Xuanda was enough to arouse jealousy. If he was promoted again, wouldn't that completely break the current rules for official selection and promotion?
In order to allow people like Tang Shunzhi and Yu Dayou to have an earlier opportunity to display their talents, Zhu Houcong worked hard to open a system of education and open a martial arts examination, but he could only give them a special exception when they were first appointed.
Now, this crucial position still follows the idea of using civil society to control military affairs, and is held by civil servants. Although it is only a staff officer in name, it has become more and more important, in charge of daily military discipline, armaments, and warfare.
training, as well as troop deployment decisions during wartime.
"It's hard to say. Didn't Duke Jingguo say the same thing when he passed away? For His Majesty, he put down the Huguang rebellion. In the first battle, he was promoted from a marquis to a duke, which set a precedent for being granted the title of Duke again. In the end, there was no such honor, and his son was only granted the title of Marquis of Jingguo.
"
There is a huge wave in everyone's heart. Has the General Staff of the Military Affairs Council passed away? Or did he pass away while in office? Who will be the next one?
But this matter is not within the scope of discussion at the National Policy Conference. Who will serve as the general staff of the Military Affairs Conference depends entirely on the emperor's decision, because it involves military power.
Is he threatening Jiangnan with Prince Jiangnan's future scientific career?
His merits are so high that he can shock the master... Only by succeeding Xia Yan, Tang Shunzhi, who is only twenty-four years old, may rise to an incredible level due to his merits in the future, and he can be said to be a master of his own.
After Xu Guangzuo, only Gu Shilong had enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Unusual promotion is in conflict with the routine of climbing up step by step.
Fei Hong and Zhang Fujing took a deep look at Yan Song: He had the opportunity to enter the State Palace, but he declined the recommendation of many people during the general election the year before last.
Those who serve the emperor's will will naturally receive supreme honor!
And some people started to discuss the next topic.
The emperor was thinking, while Huang Jin just stood aside quietly.
Yang Yiqing's only son was not very talented and did not serve as an official.
Now that I heard the imperial edict, I couldn't help but burst into tears, crying and giving thanks.
Yan Song stared at all this blankly, his heart pounding.
During the Jiajing Dynasty, there was the first meritorious official to enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
