After a while, Li Jizhou notified these East Palace officials respectively. When they learned that the prince was summoned, they quickly made an appointment and gathered in front of Duanben Palace to prepare to meet Lin Jing.
Among them, Wu Weiye came earlier. He was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen. He also spent a long time with the prince. He was elected as the lecturer of the East Palace as early as the tenth year of Chongzhen. Now he has reached the official position.
The fifth-grade Zuo Shuzi, so his future basically depends on Lin Jing.
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was summoned, and Wu Weiye was the first to arrive. However, he did not go in rashly, but waited for a while. Soon others arrived, including Xiang Yu, the Young Master of Zhan Shifu and the Imperial Academy's Attendant.
, Liu Lishun edited and edited the Hanlin Academy, and Lin Zengzhi, the lecturer at the Donggong Bible Reading Banquet.
Everyone knew each other on weekdays, so they bowed to each other and said hello, and then Xiang Yu, the highest-ranking official, went to Duanben Palace to make a presentation and request an audience.
Li Jizhou knew that Prince Lin Jing was very resolute in his work and had been waiting for him at the door early. After he saw Xiang Yu, he quickly went in to report to Lin Jing. After a while, he came out quickly and looked at these people and said loudly:
.
"The Crown Prince's order is passed down: I order you to come in and see me!"
Lin Jing met the ministers in Hongren Hall as usual. He was wearing the prince's regular clothes and sitting on the prince's throne.
Soon, everyone walked into the Hongren Hall. The person walking at the front was Xiang Yu. This man had a dignified appearance and extraordinary appearance. He looked like a gentleman. He was the first to salute Lin Jing.
"Zhan Shiyu, the Young Master of Zhan Shifu, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Lishun, Wu Weiye and Lin Zengzhi met with Lin Jing respectively and discussed their official duties.
Lin Jing had naturally read the information of these people before, checked it out in his mind, and said softly: "Everyone, please get up."
"Thank you, His Royal Highness."
The four people stood in the hall, not daring to speak rashly, and their expressions were slightly nervous.
Lin Jing immediately smiled and said: "You are all my lecturers and husbands. You don't have to be so polite. I summoned you today because I need your help in training the new army."
Xiang Yu has a greedy character, and he longs for achievements. He immediately took the lead and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has given you orders, and I should do my best to carry them out."
Seeing that Xiang Yu was the first to express his loyalty, the rest of them also expressed their loyalty one after another. However, compared to Xiang Yu's naked appearance, the rest of them were more or less concerned about the character of a scholar. Among them, Wu Weiye and Lin Zengzhi were a little behind, and
Liu Lishun is the furthest behind, and it is obvious that his temperament is relatively weak.
Lin Jing quickly went through the information in his mind, and based on the performance of everyone in front of him, he made a preliminary psychological portrait of these people.
Xiang Yu was in his early fifties, a Jinshi in the fifth year of the Apocalypse. In his early years, he flattered the eunuchs, and later switched to Donglin. His reputation among the scholars was not good. He was utilitarian and had no loyalty at all. Later in history, he was publicly known as
Surrender to the army, but because of this, you can use this person to do some dirty work, but you need to be careful to prevent it from backfire on its master.
Wu Weiye is the youngest among them all. He was born in the 37th year of Wanli. He was born early. He was a high school scholar in the fourth year of Chongzhen. At that time, he was only 22 years old. Now he is only 33 years old.
Zuo Shuzi has achieved the fifth rank, which shows that this person must have some talent.
The more critical point is that Wu Weiye has a very profound background. He is a disciple of Zhang Pu, the leader of Fushe. Even Chongzhen valued him very much and marked his exam paper with the characters "upright and liberal, but cunning and cunning".
Comment, it is obvious that this person can be used, but due to the background, it needs to be hammered before use.
Lin Zengzhi is nearly fifty years old, and now he is just a small editor. It is obvious that his talent is relatively average, but his literary talent is extraordinary and he can be kept as a lyricist.
As for the last Liu Lishun, he is basically a late bloomer. He is already in his sixties this year.
In the next 27 years, he failed to participate in the Jinshi nine times in a row. It was not until the seventh year of Chongzhen that he won the 273rd Jinshi.
However, when Chongzhen later reviewed the examination papers for that year, for some reason he felt that Liu Lishun's article was very to his liking, so he personally approved this person to become the number one scholar, and was appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy. Now he is in charge of "Notes on Living Life"
, managed Liu Cao's memorials and compiled "Ming Hui Yao".
This man was already very old and had his own ambitions, so Lin Jing had no intention of appointing him.
After meeting everyone, Lin Jing did not continue to talk to them, but gave them food on the spot. After everyone had used it, he ordered the young eunuch to send everyone away, leaving only Wu Weiye. However, this scene made everyone
A little surprised, Xiang Yu was jealous.
After everyone else left, Wu Weiye felt somewhat uneasy. Although he knew that he was a talent, he felt an invisible pressure in front of the prince.
"Is your teacher Zhang Pu?"
Lin Jing picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then asked with a smile, his tone was also light, but there was no respect for Zhang Pu at all.
Wu Weiye quickly raised his hands and said: "My mentor is indeed Mr. Xi Zhang. Thanks to my husband, I never gave up and included me in the door wall, so I am where I am today."
Lin Jing nodded slightly. Speaking of which, he had a certain understanding of Zhang Pu. It could be said that in the late Ming Dynasty, he was one of the people he hated.
The reason is that Zhang Pu, as the representative of the Donglin gentlemen, almost fully implemented the disgusting features of the Donglin gentlemen. After the establishment of Fushe, scholars from far and near came to worship him, as if the sage Kong was still alive, and his subordinates still
There are so-called "Four Matches", "Ten Philosophers" and "Ten Constant Attendants", who do not take the imperial court seriously at all.
More importantly, Zhang Pu had a very close relationship with Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the dynasty. He even maintained his words and recommended them to each other when they were ordered to be elected. The disaster became more and more serious. He even colluded with local gentry to manipulate the imperial examination.
Other illegal activities were not punished, but thanks to Zhou Yanru's protection, they were not punished.
Lin Jing was dissatisfied with Zhang Pu, but he did not intend to take action against Fushe at the moment, so he said softly: "I have now received your Majesty's permission to handle the training of the new army. Mr. Jun is willing to help me."
Join the army and take care of secular affairs?"
"I should obey my orders."
Although Wu Weiye sensed some problems with the prince's attitude toward his mentor, in this matter, he naturally yearned for it and had no room for rejection.
Seeing that Wu Weiye agreed, Lin Jing decided to send Wu Weiye and Lin Zengzhi to do some preparatory work before the new army training, such as the construction of barracks and communication with various ministries and yamen. They would take the lead.
This can make the square arch dry a little easier.
As for Xiang Yu, Lin Jing is going to send him to the Royal Chamber of Commerce and ask him to talk to various nobles on behalf of the East Palace. With this person's ability, the problem of making money should not be big.
If a problem arises, just use the person's head to make amends, which can be regarded as making the best use of the money.
After all these things were on track, Lin Jing could relax a little. He had slowly begun to gain his own wings and had the basic skills to survive in this world. This chapter has been completed!
