"Yang Zhongshu, he refers to Yang Zirong, right? The only person from Zhongshu who came with him this time was Yang. Is there something urgent in Beijing?" Yunxi thought as he said to Huang Lu: "Xuan Yang Zirong
See you in person."
Then Yunxi put on his clothes and waited for Yang Zirong to walk in and asked, "But is there anything going on in the capital?"
Although it was only in private and not in public, Yang Zirong still knelt down and kowtowed three times before standing up and said: "Your Majesty, I just heard that Your Majesty wants to visit the Lion Grove Garden this afternoon. Is it true?"
"Indeed. Why, do you want to remonstrate with me and stop me from playing?" Yunxi said with a frown.
The ministers in the court can just give a few words of remonstrance and pretend they didn't hear it. You, Yang Zirong, are a cabinet minister. It would be inappropriate for you to remonstrate before the ministers in the outer dynasty have even given their remonstrance.
Of course, Yang Zirong heard the impatience in Yunxi's words, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have no intention to stop your Majesty from visiting the famous places in Suzhou. When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was on his way to the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, even though it was a major military and national event, he also visited the scenic spots in Suzhou.
The scenic spots along the way; His Majesty is just on a tour to observe the people's sentiments, so why not visit the scenic spots in Suzhou?"
Not only did Yang Zirong not advise Yunxi not to play, but he found examples of wise emperors in history that proved that emperors could play. He didn't know whether he had been prepared in advance or just thought of it in an emergency.
After listening to Yang Zirong's words, Yunxi felt that it made sense! A wise king like Li Shimin still visited scenic spots on the way to lead troops to fight, but he couldn't do it? That is, "Li Shimin was not a good character. His son was greedy for his mother and concubine, and he almost came to an end."
His son died in his third life. However, Yang Zirong was very smart if he could think of this example in just a short moment.'
After thinking about this, Yunxi asked: "Then why did Yang Qing come to see me?"
Yang Zirong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yunxi address himself as 'Yang Qing' instead of 'you' again, and said: "Your Majesty, although it is okay to visit scenic spots, your Majesty's inspection of Suzhou Prefecture and the county's second-level schools should be the first priority.
"
Yes, Yunxi understood after hearing this from Yang Zirong. As an emperor, how could he visit a place first? Of course he had to inspect the local schools, encourage the students in the schools, and personally promote a few people to study in the Imperial College.
Moreover, the officials of the Suzhou Prefecture's Guards have not yet met him, but they still want to meet him. After all, the commander of the Suzhou Guards is a third-grade officer, one grade and two grades higher than the Suzhou Prefect.
Yunxi couldn't help but patted his head. He had met the officials of the health office after meeting the government officials in Zhenjiang Mansion and Changzhou Mansion according to the rules. Why did he forget it when he arrived in Suzhou Mansion?
No matter what the reason is, fortunately it can be remedied now. Yunxi said: "In this case, the magistrate of Suzhou, the magistrate of the prefecture, and the magistrates of the two counties are here. You go to Puyu and ask him to prepare for the inspection of the school and send someone to
The Suzhou Guards, Zhenhai Guards, Taicang Guards and several others have sent word that the chief officer will meet with me tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Zirong accepted the order and came down.
After Yang Zirong withdrew, he wiped his sweat as he walked. The reason why he came to admonish Yunxi today was not for Yunxi's sake, or in other words, it was not all for Yunxi's sake. The emperor went on a tour to various places and visited scenic spots.
It's okay if the few Shiren who followed couldn't stop them. If they visited the school first and then inspected the school, they would have been overwhelmed by the censor's Tumo Xingzi! Even if Yunxi could save them, their reputation would be ruined.
.
Although his reputation is ruined, he can still be an official, but in the future the censors of the Fourteenth Road (a new one after the establishment of Huaihai Province) will definitely keep an eye on him and look for his mistakes. He, Yang Zirong, still wants to 'earn' some money to support his family.
, it would be much more difficult to handle if the censors were to focus on it.
Not talking about Yang Zirong, Yun Zhihuan happily changed her clothes and came to see Yunxi again, but Yunxi told her that she could not play this afternoon, and it would not be until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.
Of course Yunzhi was not very happy. Yunxi usually doted on her and made trouble. Yunxi comforted her with some kind words before persuading her to go down.
In the afternoon, accompanied by officials from the Suzhou Prefecture, I inspected three schools, encouraged the professors, gave lectures, had a few words with the students, and personally promoted six students to the Imperial College in the capital.
Of course, these people were very excited. The first reason was of course the excitement of being personally received by the emperor, and the second reason was that in the 31st year of Hongwu Yunxi's decree, the professor was promoted to the eighth rank, teaching and teaching to the ninth rank.
Yunxi looked at these excited school officials and thought that if he announced their promotion during this tour, the effect would probably be better. There were too many decrees issued at one time, and this could make officials all over the world praise him.
His will was drowned in a pile of imperial edicts.
Afterwards, we met with local village elders.
Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the role of local elders and established the position of an elder to deal with rural disputes and have simple judicial powers. He also stipulated that local officials regularly hold rural drinking ceremonies and gather with local elders to discuss the gains and losses of governance. Local elders can even
Jointly petition the imperial court to recommend or impeach local officials.
It has only been a few years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the local village elders are considered to be the number one figures, and those who can serve as village elders must be at least fifty years old. Due to the tradition of respecting the elders, Yuan Zhen is more kind than when meeting officials and school students.
.
When Yunxi faced the village elders, he first asked about the current situation of Suzhou Prefecture, then asked about local people's feelings, and also asked about his views on local officials, and finally rewarded them with something.
On the morning of the second day, I met with the generals from the guard station. Suzhou is also an important place, so there are three guards inside and four in the guard station.
Yun Xi, the most important commander of the Suzhou Guards among these guards, also recognized that Zeng Guoyong was a member of Zheng Guogong's family. He was promoted to the commander of the Suzhou Guards in the 17th year of Hongwu's reign, and later made great contributions and was hereditary.
Although he was a disciple of Yunxi's maternal ancestors, he would not be biased. However, the Suzhou guards might be needed for subsequent matters in Suzhou, so Yunxi comforted him with a few gentle words, leaving Zeng Guoyong a little confused.
That afternoon, Yunxi didn't meet anyone, nor did he go anywhere. He didn't know what he wrote in the room.
After that, all the people who needed to be met were met, and Yunxi could go sightseeing without any worries.
On the morning of the third day, Yunxi first went to the Lion Forest, had a tour, and wrote a poem:
"The clear water and red mountain reflect the stick quinoa, and the setting sun is still in the west of the small bridge.
The bird that sings slightly but does not frighten the stream flies into the depths of the chaotic clouds and crows.”
This made the abbot of the Lion Grove Temple to which the Lion Grove now belongs extremely happy. The reputation of the Lion Grove among the scenic spots in Suzhou is far inferior to that of Hanshan Temple and Tiger Hill. There are also fewer people visiting, and the income of their temple is also low;
After Zhu Yuanzhang merged the temple, there were many more monks in the temple, so they were extremely distressed.
Now it's good, with today's great poets and His Majesty's poems, there is no need to worry about people not wanting to come.
Yunxi visited for a while and when he was about to leave, he saw a somewhat familiar painter sitting and painting. Yunzhi stood aside and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Of course I am painting. The second sister is old and it is inconvenient to travel. The third sister did not accompany the second sister, so the younger sister took a few palace painters with her to draw all the beautiful scenery along the way and take it back.
Second sister, third sister, take a look." Yunzhi said.
Yunxi felt that Yunzhi's heart was good. However, when they saw the beautiful scenery in the painting, they would probably regret not following Yunzhi out of Beijing.
In the afternoon, Yunxi went to Xuanmiao Temple. In order to show his impartiality to Buddhism and Taoism, Yunxi could only visit the local Taoist temple after going to the temple.
Yunxi always bowed in the main hall, burned a stick of incense, and then left the hall. The Taoist priest of Xuanmiao Temple was a little disappointed when he saw that Yunxi had not written a poem. However, the scenery of the Taoist temple was indeed average, and Yunxi still remembered it.
There are not many poems left, so I have to use them sparingly, so I can only stop writing poems.
On the morning of the second day, I went to Hanshan Temple. In fact, the scenery of Hanshan Temple is just average. It’s just that the famous poet Zhang Ji of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem called "Night Mooring on the Maple Bridge" here, so later literati came here to show off.
.
Yunxi also came here to show off, so he also wrote a poem:
"The temple tower is directly adjacent to the mountains, and it is a key point in the southeast of Yumi.
I only cherish the tooth man's pursuit of profit, but I don't hear the fishing fire and appreciate the poet.
There is no way to know the return of a guest who has traveled against the odds, and asked Han Yan whether he should be true again.
As soon as the bell rang clearing the night, several people had the same dream but different lives."
When Yunxi was writing poems, he suddenly saw Gao Qi's poem "Farewell to Hanshan Temple". He suddenly remembered that Gao Qi seemed to be from Suzhou, so he asked, "Are Gao Qi's descendants here?"
The prefect Xiang Bao said: "Your Majesty, the descendants of Gao Jidi moved to Qingqiu outside the city after they were executed by the late emperor."
Yunxi thought for a moment and said: "Back then, there was a villain who slandered the late emperor Gao Qi, which resulted in Gao Qi being executed. It is a pity. Now I vindicate him and allow his family to study in the Imperial Academy."
Gao Qi was one of the three great poets in the early Ming Dynasty and one of the four outstanding figures in Wuzhong. He had great influence in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Forgiving his sins could win over the hearts of scholars here.
Moreover, Gao Qi was executed for no reason. In the early years of Hongwu, someone falsely accused Wei Guan, the then prefect of Suzhou, of being rebellious. Gao Qi wrote an article for him, so Gao Qi was implicated and executed. Such a crime can be forgiven. If it is other crimes
Yunxi did not dare to forgive his sins at will.
In the afternoon, I went to the edge of Taihu Lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake. Yunxi also hired a large boat to cruise around Taihu Lake with Yunzhi and the others. Before returning to the city in the evening, Yunxi still composed a poem:
"Three or four wild villages were thrown into the wilderness, and fishing boats were put out at the ferry.
After a few swan geese, the rain has begun to subside, and the seventy-two peaks are naturally green."
The next morning we went to Tiger Hill. The scenery of Tiger Hill was also very beautiful, but Yunxi did not write a poem before he left. He really couldn’t remember any poems about Tiger Hill, and the other poems he remembered describing the scenery were all useless.
I couldn't post it, so I had to leave it at that. Fortunately, Yunxi had already written three poems before, and even though Huqiu couldn't finish them, everyone understood.
After that, Yunxi visited other beautiful places in Suzhou. Although he did not write any more poems, he left countless legends about the scenic spots in Suzhou.
