It simply gave Zhu Di an irresistible reason to refuse.
It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
All these officials could think with their buttocks that His Majesty would definitely be tempted. This would be of great benefit to the palace.
What's more, there is a hidden benefit in this.
That is the long history of the vassal state, if it communicates with the ministers of the imperial court.
This undoubtedly increased the centripetal force of the vassal state towards the imperial court.
Think about it, the vassal state itself has no talents. This generation of vassal kings is okay, but in the next generation, only ministers with truly upright backgrounds will be willing to serve as officials in the vassal state!
But now that there is such a path, it means that many Hanlin have to enter the vassal state, and the vassal state also has a certain talent reserve.
After these people entered the vassal state, they not only had to serve the vassal state, but on the other hand, they had the opportunity to enter the central government. Therefore, they must take into account the interests of the vassal state and at the same time show their ability and loyalty in front of the court.
Only in this way can you have the opportunity to enter the court and reach the pinnacle of life.
This flow of high-level ministers is not only an exercise for the ministers, but in a certain sense, it is also of great benefit to the court and the vassal state.
In the court, it is difficult to tell whether a minister is wise or not. After all, the court is a relatively stable structure, and it is difficult for a person to show that he has the ability to make decisions.
It's like, if there hadn't been the Tumubao Incident, no one would have realized how powerful a person like Yu Qian was.
After all, on weekdays, this person may be like many ordinary ministers, who are on duty every day, and at most have a stubborn temper.
This is also the reason why the court has a trend of chatting. After all, in a peaceful world, it is difficult to show one's abilities. So who is more powerful can only be said by mouth. Who is more sharp-tongued?
Only then can there be a possibility of rising.
But the vassal states are different. They are in a more dangerous environment. If they just talk, big things will happen. Just like Yang Shiqi, if it were a mediocre person, how could this Xinzhou be where it is today?
What's more, even those who believe in chatting will slowly start to pay attention to reality once they arrive in overseas vassal countries and are under internal and external pressure.
Needless to say, almost all vassal systems are maintained by trade, because after all, the vassals cannot be as self-sufficient as the Ming Dynasty in the past, and trade lines are their lifeline to a certain extent. In this environment
The ministers who grow up are bound to focus on business.
They have even been completely separated from the gentry within the Ming Dynasty, and can no longer represent the interests of the gentry.
All of the above, for Zhu Di, are the best candidates for prime minister or bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.
But all the officials... felt like they were a loser.
After all, for them, isn't the purpose of their imperial examinations just to get a name on the golden list and the carp leaping over the dragon's gate?
The dragon gate actually jumped, and it actually went into the sea and went to the country of Java.
But once he refuses to go to sea, he will end the possibility of his official career. For all officials, this is simply a one-shot kill.
At least now, the faces of many Hanlin officials and censors in the palace are already very ugly.
Even if it wasn't them, but someone who was already in a high position, his face wouldn't be much better.
After all... they have disciples and old officials, which also cuts off the possibility of them cultivating successors unless they personally send them to the vassal state.
Zhu Di showed great interest. He stood up and began to pace back and forth energetically.
In this quiet hall, all the officials followed His Majesty's footsteps and their hearts swelled.
Zhang Anshi glanced at his brother-in-law with a kind smile on his face.
The prince, Zhu Gaochi, pursed his lips and showed silence.
If it were Zhu Gaochi in the past, he obviously did not agree with this approach, which would be very damaging to the ministers.
But Zhu Gaochi had experience in the Model Camp and Henan, and he seemed to understand that the soil of today's world has also changed with the New Deal.
Moreover, the appearance of Yang Shiqi made him realize that this kind of person is not only familiar with classics and history, but also can handle practical affairs at ease. He has the ability to stand alone, is decisive and persevering, and is indeed extraordinary. Such a person
Even if he joins the cabinet, his ability is more than enough.
Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh: "Taizu Emperor Gao and I... are still diligent..."
His emotion... made all the officials feel their hearts sinking to the bottom.
Zhu Di said: "The prince and the emperor's grandson are also very different from ordinary people."
The people in the palace are all human beings. Speaking of this, His Majesty's intention is obviously obvious.
Zhu Di continued: "But human power has its limits after all. The emperor wants to handle the affairs of the world without making mistakes. As the emperor, how can I not know that it is really difficult to reach the sky?"
He walked around for a few more steps and then said: "There must be ministers like Yang Shiqi in the court who can assist the emperor and govern the world on his behalf. Only then can we try our best to reduce mistakes and make the people live and work in peace and contentment. If I were in the Ming Dynasty temple, all Yang would be
With people like you, the world will be free from worries."
In fact, Zhu Di's meaning is very clear.
He, Taizu Emperor Gao, and even the prince could all be diligent in their affairs.
Especially Emperor Taizu Gao, he was simply a model worker. He could only rest for a few hours a day and deal with national affairs from morning to night every day.
But Zhu Di also understood that his descendants would definitely not be able to do this, and they would need a large number of wise ministers to assist them.
And these capable people can't help but make people worry.
After all, the tree is big and has deep roots, and it is inevitable that it will collude with people.
This is also true. In the Ming Dynasty, many great scholars were born into gentry and rose to high positions step by step. However, in fact... they could never get rid of their involvement in human interests.
Just like a person comes from a gentry family. From the beginning of his studies, he has many so-called mentors, classmates, and classmates. After the imperial examination, there are a large number of colleagues, contemporaries, and former officials. When he finally takes charge of the world, you can ignore it.
Is it the interests of these people?
But once you choose to protect their interests at all times, you will inevitably conflict with the imperial power. So, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the situation reached the point of making people laugh or cry.
Ministers in high positions, because they could not ignore the interests of themselves or their disciples, former officials, relatives and friends, still stubbornly protected the gentry and imposed more taxes on the people. The people revolted one after another. In order to suppress the rebellion, they needed to
More wages, but these wages were not imposed on the gentry as before, but continued to be imposed on the people who had not yet rebelled.
The final outcome is actually already determined.
This time, Zhang Anshi could be said to have dealt a heavy blow to all officials.
If we say that before, they only destroyed their soil through the New Deal, now, it is considered as direct harm.
But he heard Zhu Di mutter: "Yang Qing can act alone. Such a high-ranking official in the border area is rare. I ordered him to enter the court and enter Wenyuan Pavilion to listen to him."
Don’t wait for Yang Shiqi to thank you.
Zhang Anshi, who was originally very proud, was a little confused.
He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... you are wrong, you are wrong... what I mean is... Mr. Yang is a living charter, but Xinzhou cannot do without him for the time being. I just used him as an example. This Yang
Gong...Xinzhou is afraid it will take a few more years...Your Majesty..."
Zhang Anshi almost wanted to cry. For such a talented person, you can just take a look at him, your majesty. How can you take advantage of others?
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhang Anshi quickly continued: "What I mean is... what I mean is..."
Obviously, it is not a wise move to compete with the emperor for people.
At this time, Yang Shiqi said: "Your Majesty, I am still young, and I still need to continue to hone my skills in Xinzhou. It is my lifelong wish to serve the imperial court. But... I sincerely ask your Majesty, please do not encourage others, and allow me to stay here."
Xinzhou, continue to sharpen for some time."
What he said was quite appropriate.
This embarrassment was finally broken.
Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi, probably cursing in his mind, Damn it, you came here to offer the treasure excitedly, but in the end you just let me take a look, just to satisfy my eyes, right?
Cursing in his heart, Zhu Di nodded gently to Yang Shiqi and said: "What Yang Qing said is so mature. If so, it must be said. The minister's overseas experience is indeed not more than ten and fifty-six years."
It can’t be between one and twenty years, otherwise, I’m afraid it will be difficult to cope with the heavy workload in the temple.”
Baiguan: "..."
Ministers are all good people, which means that no matter what restrictions the court sets, they can always find shortcuts.
At first, everyone was lamenting in their hearts that it was terrible, they might really have to go to sea in the future.
But it doesn't matter, there may not be any shortcuts. At worst, I can go to sea for two or three years, get through the qualifications, and then return to the DPRK.
As a result, Yang Shiqi actually declined Zhu Di's conquest.
Zhu Di directly said that the overseas qualifications must be ten to twenty years. Now it is really over. Ten or twenty years is not a qualification. This son was born and went to sea, and he will have grandchildren when he comes back.
Zhang Anshi's spirit was lifted, and he immediately said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely correct. It is exactly the reason. If the time is too short, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results. It is reasonable to formulate regulations, and it must take fifteen years. In this case, each vassal will
I feel more at ease when the country is using it. Otherwise, in a few years, people will leave. I am afraid that the vassal country has a lot of opinions, especially His Royal Highness King Zhao and His Highness the King of Han. They are impatient..."
Zhu Di looked as calm as ever, but he didn't expect to use the King of Zhao and the King of Han as a shield.
Zhu Di pondered and said: "It's just... now the imperial court really needs a minister like this to come to the court. He can create a good atmosphere and teach me. Then weigh him one or two. I won't take advantage of Yang Shiqi. I'd better stay here."
Let’s choose one of the other feudal vassal states to serve as chief minister.”
This is such a big deal that even Zhu Di can't do it just by slapping his head on it.
Otherwise, the opposition will be too great.
But first choose a person to enter the court, estimate his ability, and use him. On the one hand, you can block the mouths of the people in the world, and Zhu Di can also use this to observe something. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
