Chapter 62 Yu Qian enters Beijing

Yang Shiqi pondered for a while and then said: "Your Majesty is far smarter than ordinary people. I also heard Li Shimian say it. The lectures and articles can be explained in one point. Although what Wang Zhi said is from the Spring and Autumn Period, it is actually a general guide. Let your Majesty know the past and present, and the reason why a wise king is wise. It is clear that the reason why the emperor is confused is that although the principle is clear, but if you want to practice it, you are in need of good teachers and friends. I think that your majesty’s current ideas are just mistakes in officialdom. I am willing to remove honest officials among the officials who are close to the people. Your Majesty, let Your Majesty know the sufferings of the people."

What Yang Shiqi said is actually a cliché. The emperor is not wrong at any time. Those who are wrong are the ministers around the emperor.

Wang Zhi may not have done anything inappropriate as an official, but now that the Empress Dowager feels that it is wrong for the emperor to do this, the emperor must take responsibility for his official position.

It was as if Emperor Taizong was dissatisfied with Emperor Renzong, who was still the crown prince at the time. The real fault was placed on the crown prince's official instructor.

The Empress Dowager said: "Mr. Wang's lectures are very good, so there is no need to change. However, I don't want the emperor to become a great scholar. I will ask Mr. Wang to come to the palace to teach again the next day."

"I would like to transfer Yu Qian to the capital to serve as the prefect of Shuntian and to serve as an official for His Majesty. What do you gentlemen think?"

Yang Shiqi and the three of them looked at each other and were suddenly surprised.

There may be some problems with Yu Qian as a lecturer. However, the Empress Dowager is determined to do so, and it is not unreasonable. After all, the Jingyan system has just been established. In the past, there were no certain rules for giving lessons to the emperor.

Among the candidates, Hanlin was chosen more often, but there was no unspoken rule.

It can also be used to serve as the magistrate of Shuntian.

Yu Qian was a governor outside the country, and was transferred to the capital as a prefect. It seemed that he was demoted one level, but in fact, the prefect of Shunzhi was the best place, and he was a capital official, so he was promoted even though he was average.

But adding the two official positions together is problematic.

It is not easy to be an official in Shuntian Mansion.

There is a saying that if you have misfortunes in your three lives, the magistrate will be attached to Guo, full of evil, and attached to the provincial capital of Guo. And the prefect of Shuntian is even more vicious among the many evils. There are countless mothers-in-law above him. Whenever something goes wrong, he will always be blamed on the prefect of Shuntian. on the body.

Therefore, being the prefect of Shuntian is a hard job.

You don't need to think about it to know that things are busy.

As an emperor and an official, he is inseparable every day. Could it be that Yu Qian was split into two halves.

Yang Shiqi said: "The Empress Dowager, I am afraid that Yu Qian will not be able to do anything else."

The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "We are all old. I have seen Yu Qian's political achievements one by one. He is indeed a famous minister. He must be given more responsibilities. What should I ask him to teach the emperor? If When it comes to teaching him knowledge, is it possible that no one in the capital can compare with Yu Qian? Just let him show the emperor what the world is like?" "The emperor is so young now. If he is older, he must let him Someone took him out to see how the people lived. The emperor has a good heart, but he takes it too much for granted."

It is also a tradition of the Ming royal family to let the heirs see the suffering of the people. At least when Taizu taught his son, he asked his son to visit an ordinary farmhouse. When Emperor Taizong taught his son, he also asked the prince and grandson to go north along the canal. , inspected the people's sentiments, threw away the large group of people, and entered the countryside.

It's just that this kind of education disappeared in history after orthodoxy.

The Empress Dowager had great expectations for Zhu Qizhen, and his education became increasingly strict.

Yang Shiqi heard this and said, "Yes."

There was just one question in his mind that he didn't ask, and that was why it was Yu Qian.

Yu Qian was appointed as an official outside the country, but he did not have no backers in the court. Yang Shiqi and three other people were Yu Qian's backers. Politics is like this. Although Yu Qian is a good official, if there is no one in the court to speak for him, Yu Qian may not be able to do what he wants.

Lots of things to come.

But despite this, Yang Shiqi did not name Yu Qian as his successor.

On the contrary, Wang Zhi, who was an official, had high hopes from Yang Shiqi.

It can be seen from what Yang Shiqi just said.

Zhu Qizhen's lecturer was changed from Li Shimian to Wang Zhi. It's not that Yang Shiqi didn't know the inside story. It's just that he didn't express his position and even tried to push the situation along.

This may not pave the way for Wang Zhi.

At least Yu Qian doesn't have this kind of treatment.

However, no matter how Yang Shiqi treated Qian before, starting from today, Yang Shiqi's value to Qian will have to be re-evaluated.

Although he didn't know why the Empress Dowager looked at Qian differently.

In fact, the same is true for the Queen Mother.

During this period of the Ming Dynasty, there were actually many local officials like Yu Qian, such as Zhong Kuang and Zhou Chen. They were all very good local officials, and people everywhere called them Qingtian. Compared with Yu Qian, these two people had never been better.

How much difference.

The reason why the Empress Dowager valued Yu Qian was because Zhu Qizhen valued Yu Qian.

The Empress Dowager was more following Zhu Qizhen's wishes.

In fact, many parents appear to be strong in front of their children, but are actually weak. Just like the Empress Dowager in front of Zhu Qizhen.

It's just this level, but I don't know if Zhu Qizhen has fully understood it.

After San Yang came out, he arranged for Yu Qian to enter the capital. In addition to the distance, he also had to arrange for someone to take over. After Qian entered the capital, it would probably be a month later.

The Empress Dowager returned to Cining Palace, pushed open the door, and saw Zhu Qizhen kneeling in front of the portrait of Emperor Renzong.

It was getting a little dark now.

Zhu Qizhen has been here for several hours.

The Empress Dowager asked: "Do you know where you went wrong?" Zhu Qizhen said: "My grandson knows, he is too self-righteous."

The Empress Dowager ordered the left and right people to hold the lamps, asked Zhu Qizhen to sit down, and said: "You are still young and you don't know a lot about many things, and those around you should be like you."

"Even if you are wrong, who dares to say it?"

"Soldiers are the land of life and death. For national affairs, saints have to use them as a last resort. As long as the troops are sent out, no one will die. Thousands of soldiers will die on the border. They all have families and children."

"You let so many people die just by taking things for granted. Do you feel at ease?"

Zhu Qizhen felt a little ashamed, and thought to himself: "Indeed, I am a little too frivolous when it comes to planning. This is not a real-time strategy game."

"All soldiers cannot be reborn with just a click of the mouse."

Zhu Qizhen was about to say something, but was interrupted by the Empress Dowager, who said: "Okay, no need to say more, just admit your mistakes, but you said there is one thing that is right, and that is the matter of Washi. I

It has been handed over to Yang Rong. Yang Rong will arrange this matter properly. You don’t have to worry."

Immediately, the Empress Dowager explained Yang Rong's plan to Zhu Qizhen.

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen said: "My grandson still has little experience, but he didn't know that Mr. Yang Rong had such a wonderful trick."

Zhu Qizhen said this with his mouth, but he couldn't help but feel it in his heart.

Is Yang Rong's method good? Don't move a single soldier and let the enemy divide. Disputes continue on the grassland, and the nine sides will naturally be as peaceful as Mount Tai.

However, in Zhu Qizhen's view, it was a bit taken for granted. At least in his impression, Wasi had not split at least before the 14th year of Zhengtong.

Secondly, what really makes Jiubian as stable as Mount Tai is the soldiers of Jiubian. Rather than this seemingly clever method.

The Empress Dowager also had some reflections in her heart and felt that she could not be harsh towards Zhu Qizhen. Her tone softened a bit and she said: "Don't belittle yourself. After all, you are still young. When you are older, you will naturally know how to deal with important matters in the court."

Done. You don’t want Yu Qian to enter the capital? I agreed. This winter, Yu Qian will be able to enter the capital as the prefect of Shuntian. When you are older, I will allow you to leave the palace. Let’s see what the people are like."

"Only when you really know how people live can you know where the people are."

Zhu Qizhen was slightly happy. This meant that Zhu Qizhen had more autonomy, and it also meant that today's incident was over. He quickly said: "Thank you, empress."

"In the future, you will be less involved in political affairs and study hard." The Empress Dowager's eyes were under the light, and she said with countless emotions: "Your time is always yours, and now your task is to read more, see more, and see more.

Think about it, talk less. Especially some words, don’t talk nonsense.”
