The next day, Yunxi went to court and left immediately after finishing the business. The civil servants could not chase Yunxi back, so they could only continue to make excuses.
As the only civil servants who had access to Yunxi, Bao Zhao and the others went back yesterday. Although it was already very late when they went back, many civil servants still went to their homes to inquire.
Bao Zhao practiced Tai Chi for a while and fooled them all back; Chen Xingshan could not lie and did not want to 'sell out' Yun Xi, but just repeatedly emphasized that Yun Xi would definitely reuse Confucianism; Zhuo Jing was the most difficult, so what?
Don't even say it.
The performance of the three people made everyone confused. In the end, since they couldn't get any information, they had to continue to make excuses. Anyway, Yunxi just said that the speaker is not guilty if there is no selfish intention.
Of course Yunxi knew these things. Qin Song quickly took control of the Jinyiwei after the former Jinyiwei commander Fan Shurun was transferred, at least on the surface. Everyone knew that Qin Song was a close confidant of His Majesty, and no one
It will offend him.
Of course, it will take some time for Qin Song to make the Jinyi Guards like him, but it is still possible to know the performance of several officials at home.
Yunxi was very satisfied with their performance. He also wanted to win over Confucian scholars.
However, in addition to those who wrote against his closeness to Buddhism and Taoism, there were also many memorials admonishing other matters. For example, he realized the essence of Yunxi's "first admonition achievement" during his reign. He could not repeat one thing over and over again.
You have to find other things to remonstrate with, so Yunxi now has "Book of Recommendations" in front of him, written by Yuan Zhi and the second author Zheng Gongzhi.
This is also a legacy of Hongwu. Although there were imperial examinations during the Hongwu period, the punishment for corruption was so severe that officials who relied on the imperial examinations were insufficient. Moreover, many Confucian scholars left over from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were embarrassed and young people in their twenties were embarrassed.
They participated in the imperial examination together, so 2 adopted a variety of methods to select officials, and the important method was the recommendation of "wild talents" by ministers.
Yunxi was waiting to finish dealing with the papers in front of him, and the remaining auxiliary officers were still drafting suggestions, so he opened Yuanzhi's paper to see who he recommended. Yuanzhi wrote in the paper: "Shi Fang Xiaoru, the Chief of the Palace of the Prince of Shu"
, for the great Confucian scholars of the world,..., please use it by Your Majesty."
What is supposed to come will always come. Yunxi recited something silently in his heart. In the previous life, Huang Zicheng recommended Fang Xiaoru. In this life, Huang Zicheng went to get the lunch early, but there will still be others who recommend Fang Xiaoru.
When Yunxi first became the grandson of the emperor, he decided not to use a rotten scholar like Fang Xiaoru. However, at this time, especially when Yunxi discovered that Fang Xiaoru admired Zhou rituals and used Fang Xiaoru to prevent the implementation of the Zhou feudal state, he planned to put him
The central government gave him an official position that did not do practical things. Yunxi then began to think: "What kind of official position should I give him?"
At this time, Bao Zhao brought the folder he had handled to Yun Xi. Yun Xi asked casually: "Bao Qing, what official position do you think it would be good to give Fang Xiaoru?"
Bao Zhao didn't know about Yuan Zhi's recommendation of Fang Xiaoru. This kind of impeachment and recommendation memorials were sent directly to the emperor after being classified by the General Secretary, and the emperor would not assign them to ministers for disposal, so Bao Zhao knew this for the first time.
thing.
Bao Zhao was not an admirer of Zhou rites, and he was not in the same category as Fang Xiaoru, but he admired a great scholar like Fang Xiaoru, so he said: "Fang Xizhi (Fang Xiaoru's name) is a famous figure in the country, so he should be valued."
When Chen Xingshan heard Bao Zhao's words, he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you want to use Fang Xizhi? This is a great kindness. Fang, today's ministers, have doubts about Your Majesty. Your Majesty can use it to relieve the doubts of the Confucian ministers."
When Chen Xingshan said this, Yunxi knew that he had to use Fang Xiaoru, even if it was a memorial arch. Yunxi said: "Then, let Fang Xiaoru be the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy?"
Chen Xingshan said: "Your Majesty! How can you express your intention to use him as a minister of the Hanlin Academy? Even if it is difficult to arrange the fourth auxiliary officer, he should be regarded as a member of the Zhongshushe."
Although Yunxi's reign was not long, everyone has already seen the trend of not paying attention to the Hanlin Academy, so Yunxi could not use the Hanlin Academy to fool civil servants. On the contrary, in the Hongwu Dynasty, he was just an errand boy from Zhongshushe.
Because of Zhuo Jing's practical work, it is very important for everyone to know about his official position.
Yunxi also knew through the Jin Yiwei that the civil servants knew his thoughts, so he laughed a few times and said: "Then let Fang Xiaoru be the minister of the Hanlin Academy, concurrently serving as a member of the Zhongshushe, and enter the Zhida University."
Only then were Chen Xingshan, Bao Zhao, and Zhuo Jing satisfied. Zhuo Jing said: "Your Majesty's move will surely bring home the hearts of all the scholars in the world."
However, although Yunxi made Fang Xiaoru a member of the Zhongshushe and entered the Zhizhi University, what Fang Xiaoru did still depended on Yunxi's arrangements. Yunxi would not let him deal with practical matters. Anyway, Yunxi now dealt with matters by himself.
.
Zhang Wen and Guo Zhen were once again spectators. Yunxi had made many changes to the civil service since he came to the throne. On the contrary, he had made very little movement on the military. He only took over some of the governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the governors of various provinces.
The envoys changed positions, which was normal, so the military was calm and Zhang Wen had nothing to do except tell Yunxi some military affairs.
At noon, Shang Bing, Zhu Song, and Zhu Zhen came to Yunxi again to discuss the matter of sealing the country. Shang Bing asked: "Brother, do I want to establish Buddhism as the state religion?"
Yunxi said: "That is your country, you can decide for yourself in the future. However, I suggest you not to establish Buddhism as the state religion before you take possession of Hami. After you take possession of Hami, in addition to appointing the position of king and prime minister, the capital will not impose any restrictions on your feudal state.
Don’t interfere, just make your own decision.”
After defeating Hami, Hami's resources will be enough to enter the Western Region, and Yunxi plans to become a hands-off shopkeeper by then.
Zhu Ming asked again: "Your Majesty, why don't you let my feudal country preach?"
Yunxi said: "The reason why we preach in the northeast and northwest is because the barbarians there are more civilized and have their own religion, so we can use Buddhism and Taoism to reach more peaceful places faster."
"The barbarians in the high mountains of Yunnan are not civilized and do not believe in religion. It is enough to use Confucianism to influence them and to use medical skills to seduce them. Religion is not needed."
Yunxi then said in a deep voice: "You must remember that whether it is religion or Confucianism, they are all means of governing the country. If the monarch himself firmly believes in this and cannot grasp the balance, the country will be destroyed."
Zhu Song and others all looked educated.
Because Yunxi mentioned medical skills at this time, he remembered the two policies on medical skills that he had planned in detail before he came to the throne. He immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote them down to save himself from forgetting them again.
Then Yunxi discussed with Shang Bing and others for a while the specific strategy of enclosing the country. Yunxi felt that it would be best to decide on the policy of enfeoffing the country in these two days instead of dragging it out all the time, so he invited his trusted ministers, including the Fourth Assistant
Officials, Qi Tai, Lian Zining and others were called into the palace for discussion.
Everyone continued to discuss until Xu in the evening before they finally came up with preliminary opinions. Yun He said: "My dear friends, please come here today. Tomorrow, I will go to court and discuss with other ministers. One person will calculate the shortcomings, and the other two will calculate the longcomings. Tomorrow, the final decision will be made.
Set."
Tomorrow is the first day of July. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the third, sixth and ninth days of each month are the Zhong Dynasty, the winter solstice, the Chinese New Year, etc. are the Da Dynasty, and the rest are the Xiao Dynasty. Except for the Kedao officials, other people go to the Xiao Dynasty.
They are all important officials of the imperial court and are qualified to discuss important matters.
No one had any objections, and Shang Bing also said: "Grandpa Huang's funeral has passed, and many uncles want to return to their fiefdoms. It's best to make a decision as soon as possible."
