Chapter 153                                                                                                                             

The one who is most sensitive to this matter is Yang Rong.

Because Yang Rong is the person who has suffered the most conflict of interest in this change.

Why did Yang Rong always act as the master after being valued by Emperor Xuanzong?

Whenever the imperial court takes any major military action, Xuanzong must first ask Yang Rong and then make a decision.

Yang Rong did not disappoint Xuanzong. He gave advice to Emperor Xuanzong in many military operations, and performed particularly well in dealing with the rebellion of the Han King.

Therefore, under the leadership of Yang Rong, the power of the Ministry of War increased greatly, so that Wang Ji asked for a quota from the superiors, almost 100 people, and wanted to increase the number of personnel for the Ministry of War.

But all this is based on the path of the emperor's recognition.

Recognize the civil service system to deal with military and political power and intervene in the garrison.

This change in front of him made Yang Rong feel very dissatisfied.

Zhu Qizhen attached great importance to Zhang Fu and entrusted Zhang Fu to preside over the Grand Hall. The main source of students in the Grand Hall is the nobles and the children of the royal family, and the more important thing is the original meaning of the Grand Hall.

What does a big book mean?

It refers to the crown prince, and the crown prince is the foundation of the country. This political signal is too obvious.

Yang Rong did not refute the past on the spot, and he had already cultivated himself well.

Yang Shiqi comforted Yang Rong and said, "I naturally trusted the Duke of England. Although the main hall has an old system, it has been too long and many rules cannot be found."

"We have to discuss and discuss a charter."

"Even if the Prince Xiang enters Beijing, he will be cleared for the Grand Hall until the end of the year, and prepare for the school year. It will be next year when the school starts."

"So, it's too early to discuss who is in charge of this matter."

Zhang Fu said: "It's getting late. It's because the eight characters in the main hall are not yet available, so people need to be responsible, right?"

Yang Shiqi smiled and said, "The Duke is joking. The Duke is an important official of the country. Can he really let the Duke do the work of craftsmen?" Yang Shiqi paused slightly and said, "Let's do this. Let's leave the matter of creating the main hall to the palace. Ruan An has some ability in building it. Let's talk about it when it is built."

Zhang Fuming knew that Yang Shiqi was dragging him.

But Zhang Fu had nothing to say.

After all, even if Zhang Fu has become a sacrificial tribute in the main hall and is preparing for the actual work, Zhang Fu will not be able to do it himself because he is too disgusted.

Zhang Fu thought about it and knew that the construction of the Grand Principal Hall was of course very important, but now the emperor is still young and has no prince. What is really important is this signal.

The emperor's regaining honor and favor of nobles.

If the main hall is truly a must-fight, the emperor must first have a crown prince.

So, don't be so anxious.

Zhang Fu said: "Since that's the case, please Lord Yang."

Yang Shiqi said: "It's easy to say. It's easy to say."

In the cabinet, Zhang Fu was more symbolic and really used for consultation. So he didn't have much work. He just waited for Luchuan's battle report, but just calculated the time. Meng Ying probably hadn't arrived in Yunnan yet.

So I didn't stay in Wenyuan Pavilion for a long time.

After Zhang Fu left.

Yang Shiqi called Yang Rong, Yang Pu and Hu Yi to his own room.

So the pay-off room is the office.

The place is not big, it is also a suite. There is a desk and bookshelves outside, and there is a bed in the inner room, which allows people to rest.

If you encounter any special event, the Grand Secretary will also be on duty here.

For example, the emperor was seriously ill, and one of the several senior officials was counted as one, and they usually lived here.

After the four people came in, Yang Rong couldn't help but say, "Zhang Fu, what does he mean? Do you think Emperor Taizong is still here now?"

Yang Shiqi personally brought the tea and filled it with the three of them, saying, "What does Zhang Fu mean? It's hard to say, but what does the one who is the big man mean? This is the problem."

Hu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "The system of the imperial lectures must not be abolished. If Your Majesty only let King Xiang have a place to study in Beijing, it would be easy to say, but this big hall really needs to be a big foundation? I will never agree."

Yang Pu said: "Yes, this step must not be retreated."

Of course, Yang Shiqi knew the importance of this matter.

After all, this system was established by Yang Shiqi, in order to allow the emperor to receive Confucian education and to get close to Confucian ministers.

These lecturers are all from Hanlin. They spend their time with the emperor, and they will naturally be valued after the emperor ascends the throne in the future.

It can even be said that the iron rule in the late Ming Dynasty was that only Hanlins were allowed to enter the cabinet, which was directly related to the imperial lectures.

Because the ministers who served as emperor lecturers were all from the Hanlin Academy, these people were likely to be reused. This was why the Hanlin Qinggui was a member of the Hanlin bench and sat on the bench for twenty years, and once they entered the palace, the world was known.

However, entering the Hanlin Academy is directly related to the ranking in the imperial examination.

In other words, in the imperial examination, whether you are the top three in the first class, the second class, or the third class, the Jinshi, you will directly determine the end of your ups and downs in the officialdom decades.

Of course, there are also many people who break this unspoken rule, such as Hai Rui and others. But there are always a few.

This is the real lifelong test.

Yang Shiqi never thought that things would develop like this, and there were such disadvantages, but his original intention of designing this system was perfectly realized.

That is to control the emperor's education in your hands.

Most emperors of the Ming Dynasty agreed with Confucianism and would not recommend Emperor Taizu to openly admire Neo-Confucianism. In fact, they were just used for use. They did not want Emperor Taizong, but they were just a martial artist.

Even the most ridiculous Emperor Zhengde was very polite when facing Yang Tinghe.

Because this matter is so important, even Yang Pu, who has always been self-protection, and Hu Yi, who is not very talkative, cannot be silent on this matter.

The emperor's closeness to the nobles is a close worry, and replacing the imperial lecture with the Grand Hall system is a long-term consideration.

Yang Shiqi's expression remained unchanged, and he savored the tea silently, feeling calm as if Mount Tai collapsed before him. After a while, Yang Shiqi said, "This matter must be explained clearly in front of the emperor."

Yang Rong said, "I'll go with you."

Yang Shiqi said: "No, I'll just go alone. We've all gone, wouldn't we force the palace? You'll just wait here."

Yang Shiqi did it as soon as he said.

Immediately send someone to hand over a sign to the Qianqing Palace for a visit.

Zhu Qizhen saw Yang Shiqi's sign in the Qianqing Palace and immediately said, "Wang Daban goes to pick up the Prime Minister."

Wang Zhen immediately said: "Yes."

Zhu Qizhen felt a little nervous when he saw Wang Zhen leave.

Although Yang Shiqi was the chief assistant, after careful calculations, Zhu Qizhen did not summon Yang Shiqi in private. Zhu Qizhen himself did not find out.

In fact, he was a little afraid of Yang Shiqi.

Perhaps this fear was not for Yang Shiqi. It was also because of the huge political power behind Yang Shiqi that most of the communication between Zhu Qizhen and Yang Shiqi was conducted through Yu Qian.

Most of the meetings between Zhu Qizhen and Yang Shiqi were at court meetings, whether it was a grand court meeting or a royal meeting.

Meeting alone makes Zhu Qizhen feel like taking the final exam.

Yang Shiqi's pace was unhappy, and in the Forbidden City, the ministers were forbidden to ride horses and sit in sedan chairs. Yang Shiqi walked for a long time from Wenyuan Pavilion to Forbidden City.

When we arrived at the Ganqing Palace, Yang Shiqi was already sweating slightly between his white hair.

As soon as Yang Shiqi entered the Ganqing Palace, he saluted Zhu Qizhen and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty."

Seeing Yang Shiqi's gray hair, Zhu Qizhen hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Shoufu Yang is an important official of the country and a senior official of the four dynasties, so there is no need to be too polite."

Yang Shiqi said a few polite words, but finally sat down.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "Is there anything wrong with the Prime Minister here?"

Yang Shiqi sighed and said, "I am already seventy-five years old. I have been unable to follow the great affairs of the world. The Empress Dowager had not returned the power before. I am careful that I have something I can't bear to say when I leave. Now Your Majesty has grown up, and it's time for me to beg for bones."

Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Qizhen as if his grandfather was looking at his grandchildren, full of doting.

When Zhu Qizhen heard Yang Shiqi say it, he saw Yang Shiqi's eyes again and was moved. He was seventy-five years old and old, he was very old, and he used such an old man.

Zhu Qizhen also felt that he couldn't bear it, but no matter how hard he couldn't bear it, he couldn't agree.
