"Yang Ding, I will temporarily appoint you as the Etiquette Officer to Shizhong today. I really want to see what kind of talent you are, Yang Ding!" Emperor Jingtai suddenly said while the ministers were silent.

"My lord, thank you for your kindness!" Yang Ding's reaction was also very fast, and he quickly bowed down to express his gratitude!

The Jishizhong was an independent institution in the Ming Dynasty. Since it was divided into six departments, it was called the Liubu Jishizhong, and the Rites Jishizhong showed that Yang Ding was in charge of the Jishizhong of the Ministry of Rites.

Those who hold the seal of the Sixth Section to Shizhong are only in the seventh-grade official position in Shizhong, but his job is to assist the emperor in handling memorials, inspecting the affairs of the six ministries, and communicating with the cabinet on government affairs. In other words, Yang Ding suddenly changed his identity.

, suddenly became the emperor's secret skill from a commoner. Although the official position he was given was not big, he was the most trusted person around the emperor. In short, this was a very popular and popular official position.

Naturally, the emperor has the final say on who the emperor wants to use as his secretary. Even if the ministers are reluctant to let Yang Ding enter the court, there is no need to fight with the emperor on this matter. As long as the ministers will

Just be careful not to let this kid cause trouble. Anyway, if you don't have some experience when working around the emperor, something will happen sooner or later.

As the saying goes, everything always has two sides, because Liu Ke Ge Shi Zhong is a close official in front of the emperor, so he must be extra careful to avoid making mistakes in everything. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, so the fate of Liu Ke Ge Shi Zhong afterward is better than that of ordinary Liu Bu

It is much more difficult for an official. Similarly, if Yang Ding can do his job as a secretary well, his future will naturally be much greater than that of an official who is promoted step by step.

"Okay, let's dismiss the court. Yang Ding will stay for a while!"

Yang Ding followed Emperor Jingtai to the imperial study. Emperor Jingtai looked at Yang Ding who was standing with his hands down and suddenly said: "Yang Ding, you drew a big cake for me. You can only look at this cake but not eat it. What do you think?"

Can you deceive me with this little trick of yours? Can you deceive several ministers? If it weren't for the fact that your cake painting is so similar, how could these ministers be willing to compromise like this today! Yang Ding, do you want to be a reformist?

?”

Yang Ding was shocked. It turned out that the macro-ideal he described to Emperor Jingtai had long been seen through. Yang Ding said: "I don't want to be a reformist!"

"You don't want to be a reformist? But why do I think your memorial is all about tempting me to reform?" Emperor Jingtai slapped Yang Ding's memorial on the table, and his face turned angry!

Sure enough, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger! However, Yang Ding was sure that Emperor Jingtai was definitely not really angry. If Emperor Jingtai was really angry, he would just drive him out of the court. Why would he be named the emperor?

Is the etiquette department in trouble?

Since the emperor was not actually angry, why did he still pretend to be angry?

"Your Majesty, what I want to do is not to reform. Your Majesty was ordered to turn the tide when our Ming Dynasty was in danger. In the court, the Emperor selected talents and appointed them. Looking at the six ministers, they are all able to govern the world. Our Ming Dynasty is far from being in need of reforms.

The situation!" Yang Ding said tentatively.

Emperor Jingtai said: "Since our Ming Dynasty does not need to reform, what is the purpose of this memorial?"

Yang Ding suddenly realized that Emperor Jingtai was eager to prove his ability.

Emperor Jingtai was also envious of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty could become rich and powerful in his hands, wouldn't it mean that his emperor was hundreds of times stronger than the one in Nangong?

After understanding what Emperor Jingtai was thinking, Yang Ding said decisively: "Go back to the emperor,

Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. Our Ming Dynasty is now governing from chaos and is gradually reviving. The implementation of drastic changes will inevitably encounter unanimous opposition from inside and outside the court. However, the emperor can make some adjustments. The Ming Dynasty will still be the current Ming Dynasty. The emperor only needs to

Set aside a special area to implement a specific policy. If this policy is feasible, it will be promoted to the state capital. If it is still feasible, it will be promoted to the entire Ming Dynasty. In this way, the resistance will be divided into three and the resistance will be much smaller!"

"Special area?" Emperor Jingtai thought for a long time before he understood what Yang Ding meant. Emperor Jingtai suddenly brightened up, glanced at Yang Ding appreciatively, and said: "If this policy is not suitable, just make this special area

Just shutting down the region will not have any impact on the political situation of our Ming Dynasty in general, Yang Ding, is that what you mean?"

Yang Ding said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Yang Ding, do you think I should choose where to build this special area?"

Yang Ding thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this area must not be chosen in a prosperous place, because firstly, the people in those places are already rich, and secondly, they will definitely be opposed by the court. In the opinion of a humble minister,

The emperor should be elected in a place where Niaobula---no, it is near the sea, and the court does not pay much attention to it!"

"What, you want to ban the sea? Yang Ding, you are so ambitious! During the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu had repeatedly ordered the sea to be banned. During the Yongle period, Ma Sanbao made seven voyages to the West. However, Ma Sanbao's seven voyages were not only

It has not brought huge benefits to our country, but has increased our burden. This shows that opening the sea is definitely not feasible!"

Huh? Only then did Yang Ding think of Zheng He's seven voyages to the West. On the surface, they established a prosperous feat for all nations to come to the dynasty. However, the tribute system of thick and thin made the Ming Dynasty do a lot of things.

He has been taken advantage of and has been doing a bloody business for decades. No wonder Emperor Jingtai is so opposed to the reopening of the sea ban.

"Your Majesty, in fact, it is not a sea ban. What I just meant was not expressed clearly. What I mean is that this special area does not need to be funded by the emperor from the treasury. If this special area can be improved in the future, it will be responsible for its own profits and losses. When the time comes, the emperor

All you need to do is sit in Fengtian Hall and collect taxes!" Yang Ding said.

When Emperor Jingtai heard Yang Ding's description as if he was a white wolf with nothing, he not only laughed angrily and said: "Well, Yang Ding, your cake is really getting bigger and bigger for me, and it's getting rounder and rounder. There are so many people in the world."

Is it a good thing that you get what you put in?"

Yang Ding said: "Of course not, and the emperor is not unyielding!"

"Oh? What do I need to pay?"

Yang Dingdao: "The emperor only needs one capable minister and a few years to prove that this is feasible!"

Emperor Jingtai stared at Yang Ding and said nothing for a long time. After a long time, Emperor Jingtai sighed and said, "Yang Ding, what on earth are you going to do?"

What does Yang Ding want to do? It is already obvious what Yang Ding wants to do. Of course, it is to establish a heart for the world, to establish a destiny for the people, to inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations. But does he dare to say it? He does not dare, because

In a few decades, there will really be a person who brings peace to the world, and it’s not even just one!

"Yang Ding, no matter what you do now, you can't do it!" Emperor Jingtai seemed to have seen a dead end, a road with no way around it!

"Yes, my foundation is too shallow and I really can't do anything!" Yang Ding said.

"It's not that your foundation is too shallow, it's that you have no foundation at all! Yang Ding, I can favor you to join the court, but how far you can go on this road depends on your ability. If you can draw this pie for me, I will

Just stay in the exam for now, and then come and ask me for orders when you have the strength to prove all this. I hope this day won't take too long!"

Yang Ding's heart moved. Emperor Jingtai obviously meant that the pressure on him came from the court and not him. Think about it. The current leadership team of the Ming Dynasty are all famous officials in the world and can be remembered throughout the ages.

There are big boss-level capable ministers, and what kind of disturbance can he, a small secretarial who has just joined the official career, create in front of these big bosses?

"By the way, I heard that you are bringing your family to Beijing this time, so I will give you a house to save you from saying that I am stingy behind your back!"

"I don't dare, I thank the emperor for the reward!"

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Yang Ding let out a long sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he had finally gotten over this hurdle.

Yang Ding knew in his heart that the best way for him to sneak into the court as a commoner was to be unconventional and leave a special impression on the emperor. Otherwise, there were so many talented people in the world, why would it be his turn to be looked down upon by the emperor?

?

I have to say that the pie that Yang Ding drew for Emperor Jingtai is quite good, and it directly hits the heart of Emperor Jingtai. However, although this pie cannot be realized now, it does not mean that it cannot be realized in the future, and what Yang Ding said in the imperial study room

, is to let Emperor Jingtai see the hope that can be realized.

Of course Yang Ding knew that this kind of trust supported by faith was far less reliable than the trust established by merit, but he had no choice but to temporarily build the emperor's trust in him through this method. Only in this way could Yang Ding have

Opportunity to build your own merit.

After leaving the imperial study, Yang Ding did not expect that Wei Shuang was still waiting for him in the Forbidden City. When he saw Yang Ding coming out, Wei Shuang came over and said, "Brother Yang, congratulations. Today, Brother Yang is serious about his verbal battle with the Confucian scholars in the court hall."

Let me admire you!"

Yang Ding shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Wei, I'm really joking about it. If it weren't for the strong support of Master Wei and General Shi today, how could I have been involved in this matter? By the way, Master Wei, the emperor may have other plans after the meeting."

?”

Wei Shuang shook his head and said: "No, the emperor ordered me to serve as an errand in the palace. If nothing else happens, I should be on duty in the palace!"

Yang Ding said happily: "In this way, Mr. Wei has been promoted. I would also like to congratulate Mr. Wei!"

Wei Shuang shook his head and said with a smile: "In this way, I will have more opportunities to meet Brother Yang. By the way, Brother Yang, from now on Brother Yang will change his name to Wei Qianhu. People in this palace are too talkative. This time, I call you "Sir"

I can’t bear it!”

Yang Ding said: "Yes, I will pay more attention to it in the future!"

The two of them came to the squad room where Jinyiwei was on duty in the palace. By chance, a Jinyi Qianhu walked out. When Wei Shuang saw this person, he smiled and said, "Where is Zhu Qianhu going?"

When the man saw that it was Wei Shuang calling him, he smiled heartily and said, "Yesterday I heard that you had returned to Beijing. Today I thought I would go and have a drink with you after the court was over, but I didn't expect you to show up at my door yourself! Eh!

,This is---"

Wei Shuang introduced: "This is Mr. Yang Dingyang, who is newly promoted to the Etiquette Department today. He is also a good friend I met in Qingzhou Mansion. Mr. Yang, this is Zhu Ji and Zhu Qianhu, the most senior person in Beijing.
