Chapter 779 The matter of welcoming spring must be settled before leaving
At the same time, in Jingyang Hall of Changchun Garden.
After a heated exchange of words, the ministers seemed to have lost interest, and they all sat there in silence.
When Emperor Xiaode saw this, he ordered someone to bring tea and water, and he also held a bowl of tea and sipped it lightly.
After a long while, seeing that the group of old men below had recovered, he gently put down the tea bowl, reached out and took the handkerchief Dai Quan handed him, wiping the corners of his mouth, and asked lightly: "How is it?"
Therefore, it is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and it is also said that the power of a king is unpredictable.
The superiors are just like this, always playing tricks on everyone, asking everyone with two meaningless sentences, and asking everyone to give a satisfactory answer.
Emperor Jiajing of the former Ming Dynasty had doted on Yan Song for many years. He even knew that Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng were all talented people in governing the country, but he still doted on Yan Song who was over eighty years old.
It was just because Yan Song could write Qing Ci and take elixirs.
More importantly, he has a good son, Yan Shifan.
This guy is like a roundworm in Jiajing's belly.
No matter what Jiajing asked, he could quickly grasp the emperor's pulse and answer the emperor's questions accurately.
Therefore, the father and son of the Yan family were deeply favored by Jiajing, and they were able to commit suicide and act as monsters without any problems.
But it's different when I move to Changchun Garden Jingrentang.
Both the emperor and the ministers are the pillars of the country's governance. Although they have various little ideas, they are much better than Jiajing and Yan's father and son.
When they heard the emperor's question, everyone knew it well, so they all turned their attention to Zhang Tingyu, the chief minister.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Tingyu is only fifty years old this year. He is a junior among the ministers, but his demeanor is extraordinary. He stood up calmly and asked: "Is your Majesty asking about a memorial or a person?"
"How about asking someone?"
"He is heroic and has a pioneering spirit. He is a young man who can have the world in his mind. He can achieve things that no one has done before. With a little hard work, he will become a pillar of the country."
This evaluation is not a low one, but several important officials in the DPRK had almost no objections to it.
Probably because Lin Zhao had the experience of operating the Qijueling Special Economic Zone, he could handle the problems of these ministers easily. In addition, although he was young, he remained unchanged in dealing with things and was unfazed by favors and humiliations.
It is stunning in the eyes of everyone.
In particular, some experiential remarks were well-known in Pengcheng in later generations, but they are exquisite nowadays.
"What about this memorial?"
"The method is feasible, but whether it should be implemented now depends on His Majesty's decree."
"Well, I understand what Mr. Ge means, but if I use this Lin Zhao to promote the opening of Songjiang as a port, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Lin Zhao is one of the most talented people in the world. Based on his performance in Yangzhou and Jinyiwei, coupled with today's prelude, if he is given full power, Songjiang will definitely be in great control within five years, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that if a young man shows his sharp edge and just goes about his business without polishing it, there will be a lot of complaints and impeachments in the first two years, and there will be constant struggles between the government and the opposition."
Emperor Xiaode was silent for a long time before he nodded.
Everyone also nodded in agreement with the Lord Chief Assistant's judgment.
At their age and status, Weilun, a young man in his twenties, could not pose any threat to them no matter how talented he was.
What's more, once this guy's father enters Beijing, he will definitely become the Prime Minister and join the cabinet in the future.
So whether you want to form a good relationship or promote and train young people.
Everyone affirmed Lin Zhao's performance.
But then again, Lin Zhao answered everyone's questions too perfectly, which also showed that he was very sharp.
A young man with a sharp edge will definitely move forward without knowing the truth of compromise and roundabout ways.
If you blindly confront potential enemies head-on, you will easily end up in a bloody encounter.
From the perspective of protecting talented people, we must not rashly hand over such an important and pioneering position to Lin Zhao.
Otherwise, it will only encourage growth.
"So, you don't agree with the opening of Songjiang as a port?" Emperor Xiaode looked at Zhang Tingyu.
"I think it's feasible, but I would like to ask your Majesty to send a mature and prudent person over first to settle the situation first. When we enter the deep water area, and Lin Dutang has been tempered for a long time, let him explore and innovate."
Zhang Tingyu stroked his beard and said.
The emperor nodded slightly and asked other courtiers: "What do you think, dear ministers?"
Everyone was silent for a while. When no one spoke, they all said in unison: "I second my opinion."
"Then let's discuss it again."
Emperor Xiaode said and called by name: "Tian Congdian, you are the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, and Xu Yuanmeng, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Each of you will write a memorial to analyze the pros and cons of "Songjiang Opening of Ports" for me."
"I obey your orders."
Zhang Tingyu was standing aside, his eyes slightly narrowed, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Okay, this matter has been discussed. There are still a few ministers outside. It's freezing cold. I can't keep them waiting any longer."
As soon as Emperor Xiaode said this, he did not expect that there was a rush of footsteps outside, followed by the sharp voice of the eunuch in charge:
"Your Majesty, Zhang Ding, the deputy commander of the Dragon Imperial Guard, claims to have urgent official duties and wants to report to your Majesty immediately. He is currently waiting for orders outside Jingrentang."
"Xuan!"
There were no fluctuations in Emperor Xiao De's voice, but it was just like this, which was the precursor of thunder.
Obviously, if Zhang Ding was just making a fuss out of a molehill, or if what he reported was not within the emperor's concern, Long Yan would be furious.
But he said that the eunuch in charge took the order and left, and soon brought Zhang Ding closer.
Because Tong Lin's body had not recovered yet, the Dragon Guard was presided over by Zhang Ding, the deputy commander. He was the nephew of Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge, and was also the "catfish" arranged by the emperor in the Dragon Guard to trap Tong Lin.
of.
After he entered the door, he was stunned for a moment when he saw many important ministers, but then he recovered, knelt on the ground and paid homage, and said:
"Your Majesty, I have just received news that Suiyuan Deputy Commander-in-Chief Kobdo is arrogant and domineering. He is gradually becoming unstable due to the large number of soldiers under his command. According to the investigation, he is secretly communicating with Horqin and Chahar."
"Oh!" Emperor Xiaode frowned at first, then a sneer appeared on his lips, and he snorted: "How dare you make trouble at this time, a clown!"
Zhang Tingyu frowned and immediately held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now my army is fighting with the Jurchen tribes and Eros in the east and west respectively. Suiyuan Khovd is unstable at this time. Someone must be instigating it from behind. I think
Use the wrath of thunder to nip it in the bud.”
Emperor Xiaode nodded, and then said: "The Dragon Guards are responsible for the government and the public, and the Jin Yiwei also have the same duties. Why is there no news about the Jin Yiwei?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the eunuch in charge came again: "Your Majesty, Lin Zhao, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, has left and returned, bringing with him the commander of the Jinyi Guards and the magistrate Fang Datong. He said that he has urgent official business and needs to report to Your Majesty immediately."
Emperor Xiaode and the ministers looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
If there is no accident, what the Jin Yiwei came to report must have been talking about the same thing as the Long Jinwei.
As expected.
After Fang Datong reported the matter, the atmosphere in Jingrentang became a little more relaxed.
Emperor Xiaode looked at Lin Zhao: "Lin Aiqing, now the country is using troops everywhere and is unable to mobilize elite troops to suppress signs of instability in Suiyuan and Chahar. You are the commander of the Jinyi Guards, can you help me share my worries?"
Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards are the Emperor's personal soldiers, so they naturally have to share your Majesty's worries."
But I thought in my heart: "Okay! I can't spend this year in the capital. But before I leave, I have to make a decision about welcoming the Spring Festival!"
