Of course Yang Shiqi continued to decline. Regardless of whether the leader was sincere or not, the person being praised would decline in such a situation.
Then Yunxi waited aside and watched Yang Shiqi finish teaching the content he planned to teach today. Then Yunxi asked the three princesses to step back first, then he came up again and said to Yang Shiqi who was packing up the textbooks: "Mr. Yang." With the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yang Shiqi's lesson preparation book, which was filled with densely packed words.
Yang Shiqi immediately turned around and said, "Your Majesty."
Yunxi said: "I see that you are very careful in what you do, and you are neither arrogant nor impetuous, humble and prudent."
"I would like you to be the servant of Zhongshushe. You will serve as an attendant in Qianqing Palace for half a day every day, and teach the princess the other half of the day."
Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, and then he was immediately replaced by being at a loss. He had wasted half his life, running around among the people for survival, and now he was suddenly told that he was going to work for the emperor, with a bright future, and he suddenly couldn't recover.
Yunxi looked at the changes in his expression and found it very interesting. It could be made into a set of emoticons in future generations. However, he still smiled and asked: "Why, Yang Qing doesn't want it?" interrupting Yang Shiqi's emoticons. Continue to generate.
Yang Shiqi came to his senses, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Shiqi, thanks you for your kindness."
Yunxi said: "Get up, you don't have to kneel down all the time." Yang Shiqi stood up after hearing this.
Seeing that it was done, Yunxi comforted Yang Shiqi a few more words, and then planned to leave.
But Yang Shiqi suddenly saluted again and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of Your Majesty."
Yunxi said: "What's the matter?"
Yang Shiqi said: "My father died early, and it was my mother who raised me. Now that I am an official in Beijing, I would like to ask your majesty to allow me to return to my hometown to pick up my mother and come to the capital."
"In addition, I am already old but still unmarried. The most unfilial of all is not having an offspring. I also need to return to my hometown to discuss the marriage with my mother."
Yunxi knew that Yang Shiqi was not married yet. His family was too poor, and he did not have a younger sister or older sister to marry him for. He had been traveling around since he was in his twenties, so he never got married.
But in fact, after Yang Shiqi arrived in the capital and became a teacher for the princesses, a junior official from Changxi in Beijing was willing to marry his daughter to him. So Yang Shiqi also had to discuss with his mother.
Yunxi said: "It is an act of filial piety to keep your mother by your side. How can I disagree? I will grant you a month's leave and go back to your hometown to pick up your mother. But you still need to teach the princesses for another day tomorrow and tell them what they need to learn on their own. , you can leave the day after tomorrow.”
Yang Shiqi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness." He was even more emotional than when he thanked Yunxi for promoting him to Zhongshu Sheren.
Yunxi officially included Yang Shiqi into his close talent team. Although he wouldn't use it for nearly a month, he still included him, so he was in a good mood. He hummed a little tune and came to Chengqian Palace where he was holding the piano.
Baoqin welcomed Yunxi in. She was very happy to see Yunxi. She didn't ask why, she just joined in to have fun.
When Yunxi became even more happy, he hugged Qin and said: "Your Majesty, Yao'er's birthday will be on the first day of next month. This is Yao'er's fourth birthday. I thought, Yao'er has never seen me before at this age. My brother, I would like to have my brother come into the palace to see Yao'er that day. Your Majesty, is it possible?" She started to act coquettishly while holding Qin.
Of course Yunxi would not allow it, and said: "Of course you can. Speaking of which, I forgot that Yao'er's birthday is only ten days away."
"Although it's not easy to do it under the emperor's filial piety, I also ordered the Imperial Supervisor, the Shangshan Supervisor, and the Shangfu Bureau to prepare more things."
"And Wen Yao and you are allowed to wear bright clothes on that day." During this period, Yun Xi and all the royal children were wearing plain clothes.
Yang Shiqi returned from get off work to the public rental housing he had chosen by lottery, with a look of joy that could not be concealed on his face.
Luan Wei, who was teaching the little princess and the prince's studies, happened to be back at this time. Their rooms happened to be next to each other. Luan Wei saw Yang Shiqi's expression and asked, "Brother Yang, why are you so happy today?"
Yang Shiqi also wanted to share this joy with others, and Luan Wei happened to be from his hometown, so he said: "Today, Your Majesty..., Your Majesty also granted me a month's leave and allowed me to return to my hometown to pick up my mother and come to the capital."
Luan Wei immediately congratulated: "Brother Yang, what a congratulations! I have been favored by His Majesty and became a member of Zhongshushe less than three months after arriving in the capital." Then Luan Wei congratulated him again and again. But his heart was not the same.
Such.
Luan Wei couldn't help but feel jealous: "I taught the little princess many days before you, but I have never been able to win your majesty's favor and sacrificed myself for the middle school. But you were promoted not long after you came. This is not fair."
!'
It is impossible for Luan Wei to admit that he was not promoted because of his lack of ability.
However, Luan Wei had finally experienced it and did not show his jealousy at all. He only congratulated him, so Yang Shiqi did not notice his problem.
On the morning of the next day, Yunxi continued to review the excerpts after going to court as usual. It was almost lunch time, and Yunxi was still reviewing the excerpts when he heard an eunuch say vaguely: "I have seen... Your Highness,...
…Your Highness,…Your Highness.”
Yunxi raised his head and saw three people walking into the Qianqing Palace. When they saw Yunxi, they immediately saluted and said, "My younger brother, King Min (King of England) (King of Qin), has met your Majesty."
Yunxi stood up and said with a smile: "Why did you come here together today?" As he said this, he walked over.
Min Wang Zhu Chu said: "Your Majesty, we have something to ask your Majesty to decide today."
Yunxi looked at the engravings and said, "Since the time has come, let's talk while eating." Then he turned to the fourth assistant officer and said, "My dear friends, please rest first, and then come back to review the excerpts later."
The fourth auxiliary officer agreed.
Yunxi told Yunxi to prepare food in the imperial dining room, and at the same time brought two uncles and a brother to the dining room. Recently, they had been busy with matters concerning the feudal state and had no time to see Yunxi, so they chatted for a while first.
Not long after, the food was served from the imperial kitchen. Yunxi and them had something to eat first, and then asked, "Why are you free to come to the palace to see me today?"
Shang Bing said: "Isn't it because I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, so I came to the palace to see the emperor?" Zhu Chu and Zhu Song also agreed.
Yunxi smiled and said: "Don't deceive me! I don't understand you yet. You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I'm done with the gossip. Just tell me. What can you ask me for?"
Zhu Ming smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't hide anything from you."
"We have finished everything in the past few months, and even the officials below are overwhelmed. The official positions that have not yet been filled are waiting to be recruited to the fiefdom to recruit local people as officials, or they may be left vacant temporarily.
."
"But the positions of the left and right kings and prime ministers are appointed by you personally. We don't dare to appoint them without authorization. We are here to ask the Ming Dynasty Emperor to appoint the kings and prime ministers."
"In addition to these things that everyone has, I still have one more thing to discuss with His Majesty to see what to do. Let's solve the things we both have first, and I will discuss mine later."
Yunxi said: "So that's what happened." Then he began to think deeply while eating.
Zhuo Jing had already been appointed as the right prime minister, and Yunxi had already decided to appoint him as the right prime minister of Min. In addition, Zhang Shu also served as the left prime minister of the United Kingdom, and the northwest Qin State also had candidates for the left prime minister. But the other three people
The choice has not been decided yet.
The left prime minister is easy to say, but if it is not possible, just choose one from among the heroes and generals, but the right prime minister is difficult to decide.
Yunxi doesn't even have complete control over the imperial court now, and his cronies are not enough to even stay in the capital to help him run the capital, let alone send them out to be the king. But those who don't trust him dare not send out to be the king of the vassal state.
Very contradictory.
Yunxi said: "Take Zhuo Jing from Zhongshushe as the right prime minister of Min, take Zhang Shu, the commander of Tieling Guards, as the left prime minister of Britain, take Song Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Kaiping, as the left prime minister of Qin, take, take, take, take the middle
The governor of the military governor's office also knew that He Fu was the left prime minister of the Min Kingdom."
Song Sheng and He Fu were both generals in the late Zhu Yuanzhang era. Historically, they were also very famous in the Yongle Dynasty. He Fu had been in the southwest for a long time, and Song Sheng had been in the northwest for a long time. They were both figures who had made many achievements and were very feared by the locals.
.After the country is closed, having such a person as king and prime minister can effectively deter the local barbarians and prevent them from causing trouble.
But after saying these names, Yunxi fell into a long silence again. The three princes did not dare to rush them. They waited until the meal was finished and left. After waiting for a while, Yunxi raised his head to speak and decided.
There are two remaining candidates for right-wing prime minister.
Yunxi thought repeatedly and finally decided: Since the ministers who are close confidants who are particularly capable cannot be sent out, in order to prevent the ministers sent out from not being loyal to the central government, they can only choose those who were loyal to Yunwen during the Jingyan period in history and were executed.
Already.
Yunxi thought of Huang Guan and Gao Xiang. Gao Xiang had appeared before. He was in the Ministry of Household Affairs at that time and now serves as the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was demoted a while ago, but he was not demoted. Huang
Guan is now the Minister of Rites.
Yunxi can remember these two names because of his special deeds. Huang Guan was because he won three yuan in a row, and Gao Xiang was because he was discourteous to Zhu Di, which resulted in the destruction of the three tribes. Zhu Di also ordered that all middle-class and above people with the surname Gao in the country should be punished.
people raised taxes, so Yunxi could remember their names.
Yunxi said: "Let Huang Guan, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, be the right minister of the British state. Since he likes to educate, let him go to the northeast to educate the Jurchens. Let Gao Xiang, the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, be the right minister of the Qin state."
Yunxi was also afraid that pedantic civil servants would get in the way, so he said: "When the vassal states are first established, the left minister should do everything. After the countries are stabilized, the right minister should act." When the countries are stable, Yunxi should have taken control of the court.
After several years of training and searching, I should have enough people on hand to become the king.
