Chapter 958
Hongzhi frowned, although he understood what Liu Jian said, but the official position that had been given to Ming Zhongxin was withdrawn! Is that good?
You must know that this position of supervising the imperial history is different from the previous position of the master of Ming Zhongxin, which is just a supernumerary person with no grade or level, but this position of supervising the imperial history is a serious and eight-grade person! And some real power! Will Ming Zhongxin agree to give up? Isn't this a bit of a slaughter and killing a donkey? Moreover, this time he reversed his word, do you want to make this golden mouth?
Li Dongyang was even more furious, this guy, this is simply playing Ming Zhongxin, you guys will throw it away when you run out of use, right?
But with Xie Qian's experience, he didn't immediately step forward to theorize, but just suppressed his anger and glared at Liu Jian viciously.
"Of course, it's not absolute! We have additional terms! That is, if Ming Zhongxin can be raised in this township test, and he will be qualified in the next examination, His Majesty can directly grant him the supervision of the imperial history from the eighth grade! It can be regarded as a justifiable name, and it is a perfect reward for his merits! ”
Hongji nodded, it's better!
Xie Qian's eyes rolled a few times, his eyes were full of smiles, he stood up straight, and smiled secretly in his heart, is it still this old man Liu, you know, Ming Zhongxin will definitely be able to be promoted to the middle jinshi? As long as he is like this in the future, won't Ming Zhongxin have to make a bamboo basket for nothing?!
Li Dongyang pouted, saying nicely, this is just a castle in the air, you know, after Ming Zhongxin has passed the township test and the meeting test, who will remember this matter, and when the time comes, Hongzhi will not admit it, who can do anything to him! Isn't this playing Ming CITIC? It's just a bigger pie.
"Of course, if Ming Zhongxin didn't have a promotion, and he didn't have a jinshi, he could make up for a prison spot, and then let him be a small county official, which could be regarded as compensating for his merits!" Liu Jian continued.
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar, not to mention, this condition is very generous! You know, Ming Zhongxin didn't even win the promotion, and he directly allowed him to be a county official, which is really unique in the Ming Dynasty!
"In addition, if Ming Zhongxin can enter the first-class jinshi list in the examination, he will be allowed to be a sixth-grade superintendent of the imperial history, and if Ming Zhongxin can enter the third-class, he will be allowed to be a fifth-grade official!" However, it is not over yet, Liu Jian continued.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was dumbfounded, originally, everyone thought that this Liu Jian was also like Xie Qian, he was suppressing Ming Zhongxin, but they didn't expect to fight for such good conditions for Ming Zhongxin! How so? No one could believe their ears!
Li Dongyang retracted the slander in his heart, and at this time, look at how Liu Jian looks at it!
Xie Qian is calm and abnormal, after all, he already has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, as long as he can suppress Ming Zhongxin this time, what the future holds, it depends on how he operates!
Therefore, he didn't have any more moths!
Hongzhi listened, pondered for a long time, nodded slowly, and agreed to Liu Jian's proposal, after all, Liu Jian's proposal took into account the interests of several parties, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Ming Zhongxin!
"Your Majesty, what if Ming Zhongxin makes new contributions this time?" Li Dongyang is out of work.
Yes! The ministers looked at Li Dongyang, he was still not satisfied?
Hongzhi also frowned, the relationship between Li Dongyang and Ming Zhongxin has been put on the surface, but it is rare to blatantly ask for rewards for Ming Zhongxin like this!
"How else to reward, isn't the grace that His Majesty has given him now enough?" Xie Qian interjected in a strange way.
Li Dongyang didn't pay attention to him, and looked at Hongzhi in a daze, obviously, if His Majesty didn't give him an explanation today, he would probably go on like this.
Hongzhi smiled and asked rhetorically, "Li Qing thinks that if Ming Zhongxin makes new contributions this time, what reward should he be given?" ”
This? Li Dongyang couldn't help but hesitate for a while, yes, what reward should he ask for for Ming Zhongxin?
Money? Wealth? Thing? It's a bit cheesy!
Name? Sharp? There is no shortage of people's letters!
Official career? Official position? These people are also not rare in the Ming family, no, it should be rare in the Ming family, after all, the Ming family has no official scholars, although the Ming letter is not rare, but the Ming family must need such a person!
"Your Majesty, if Ming Zhongxin makes new contributions, the old minister thinks that Ming Zhongxin should be awarded the actual position of supervising the imperial history!" Li Dongyang looked up and replied.
"If you really make meritorious contributions, it doesn't hurt to be awarded an official!" Koji nodded.
"Your Majesty, by all means!" Xie Qian objected, "This Ming Zhongxin has no fame at this time, this award is an expedient measure, after he returns to Beijing, just give him some money to supplement!" It's a big deal, just give an order for the old lady Ming! ”
Commandment? Koji's eyes lit up, yes! If Ming Zhongxin makes meritorious contributions, he can start from his family, after all, from the perspective of filial piety, attributing Ming Zhongxin's credit to Mrs. Ming is not a big one, and it also solves the embarrassment of Ming Zhongxin's identity, killing two birds with one stone!
"Yes, Ming Zhongxin's service to the court this time is also the glory of the Ming family, and then he will show grace to Mrs. Ming, which can be regarded as comforting the ancestors of the Ming family, and also showing the grace of His Majesty, this discussion is very wonderful!" Liu Jian also stepped forward and agreed.
Li Dongyang also nodded frequently when he saw Hongzhi, and he was disheartened for a while, it seems that His Majesty is also a little jealous of Ming Zhongxin! Otherwise, I would never have been so slow to treat him! However, fortunately, Ming Zhongxin is still young, and he is only fifteen years old this year.
The matter has come to this point, how can people overturn their calculations if they are three to one?! That's it!
Now, there was no objection, and Hongzhi naturally immediately asked Liu Jian to draft the will.
Immediately, the ministers dispatched troops to prepare for Liu Daxia's southward journey.
Of course, Liu Daxia was immediately ordered to enter the palace to prepare for his comeback, and at the same time discuss the countermeasures to go south!
Correspondingly, the Ming family naturally got this information at the first time.
After all, this matter is related to the head of the family Ming Zhongxin, so naturally someone reported the news, not to mention that he was also one of the protagonists of the southward rebellion.
The whole Ming family was cheering, after all, Ming Zhongxin was actually awarded the official position of supervising the seven products of the imperial history, which is a great thing! Glory to the ancestors!
Of course, Lu Mingyuan and the others were not carried away by the good news, but inquired into the details.
When the news came, Lu Mingyuan and the others were silent.
Although Li Dongyang's struggle can be regarded as winning some rights and interests for Ming CITIC, these rights and interests are too insignificant compared to the dangers that Ming CITIC will face!
How could they be overjoyed without knowing the severity! What's more, the reconstruction of the Ming family is at a critical juncture, if Ming Zhongxin leaves the Jingshi at this time, this backbone is gone, and the development of the Ming family will be? How will those forces that are secretly eyeing the Ming family target the Ming family? Will the remnants of the Maitreya Society let the Ming family gain a firm foothold in Beijing? Will those forces that were impacted by the Ming family's business let the Ming family go?
All of this is a problem!
Ming Zhongxin was also uneasy, but as the backbone, he could not reveal any worries, but looked around with a smile.
In the hall of the Ming family.
Lu Mingyuan, Ming Youren, Ming Zhongyuan, Deputy Sect Master Sun, Fu Bo, Wu Shopkeeper, Mr. Shi and all the descendants of the Ming family all sat together, and they all turned their eyes to Ming Zhongxin, waiting for his orders.
Ming Zhongxin smiled, "Everyone, everyone should be happy!" The Ming family is finally out of office! This is a matter of honoring the ancestors, and I believe that my grandmother will definitely tell my ancestors when she hears the news! ”
Lu Mingyuan frowned and asked, "CITIC, are you really going?" ”
Ming Zhongxin smiled and asked rhetorically, "Why don't you go?" ”
"CITIC!" Ming Youren sighed lightly and shouted slowly.
"Uncle Zong, please tell me what you have to say!" Ming Zhongxin gestured.
"Although this matter is really a good thing for the Ming family, however, compared to this fame, it is still more important to you! I believe that if you are allowed enough time to operate, the Ming family will definitely take a solid foundation in Beijing, which is far better than if you went to southern Xinjiang to quell the chaos. If you can refuse, please ask Your Majesty to resign! Ming Youren looked at Ming Zhongxin, his eyes full of worry.
"Resign?" Ming Zhongxin was stunned, he never thought that for a long time, Uncle Ming Youren, who was known as a gentleman, full of benevolence and morality, and full of glorious lintels, actually persuaded himself like this, didn't he always want to let himself gain fame and glory in the Ming family? This opportunity was in front of him, and he actually let himself give up! Is this still his own uncle?
couldn't help but look at Ming Youren with a strange gaze.
Ming Youren naturally saw what Mingzhong was thinking in his confidence, and smiled bitterly, "Zhongxin, what kind of person do you think Uncle Zong will be?" ”
After a slight pause, Ming Youren sighed lightly, "Yes, the current opportunity is an opportunity for the Ming family to shine, however, if it is to be exchanged for your net worth and life, we would rather not!" ”
Ming Youren's categorical determination shocked the hearts of everyone in the Ming family, this is reasonable! We can't live without the master of the Ming family!
"CITIC, you are now the hope of the future of the Ming family, with you, everything is possible! But if you fold in the south of Xinjiang this time, then everything in the Ming family will come to naught, even if you get glory now, but in the near future, the Ming family will inevitably be swallowed up by the hostile forces in the open and secret, and when the time comes, everything will be empty, and the Ming family will be even more catastrophic, it is better to keep your hope now, I believe that in the near future you will lead the Ming family out of a bright road! ”
Yes, how can you not understand this truth! However, how could His Majesty Hongji's will be so easily shirked! Isn't that the sin of a king?
Ming Zhongxin smiled bitterly, "Uncle Zong, can you make Your Majesty take back your fate?" ”
Ming Youren was stunned for a moment, but then his face was certain, "With Mr. Lu here, I believe Your Majesty will give him face!" It's a big deal, our Ming family will give up some interests in exchange for your peace! ”
"After all, this time is not as good as before, you must know that this time it is King Ning's rebellion, and King Ning has been in business for several generations, who knows how much wealth and military power there is, and if there are remnants of the Maitreya Society, will they die down? Last time, you ruined their wishful thinking, and they must have hated you in their hearts, but the situation was pressing, and they were just temporarily stung. This time, I saw that someone took the lead in the rebellion, and it was the king of the first dynasty, I was afraid that he would immediately take advantage of the situation and cause trouble in southern Xinjiang! At that time, how can the officers and soldiers be favored by the enemy?! ”
Yo, I can't see it! Our uncle is still a theoretician! This analysis, not to say 100% accurate, but also calculated seventy or eighty percent of the truth, really underestimate him!
"Mr. Lu!" As he spoke, Ming Youren stepped forward and bowed to Lu Mingyuan.
"Brother Ming is very polite!" Lu Mingyuan frowned, smiled wryly, glanced at Ming Zhongxin, and stretched out his hand to support Ming Youren.
"Mr. Lu, please also help the Ming family for the sake of the Ming family, so that the head of the Ming family is not in danger! Ming is a cow and a horse, and he has to repay you for this kindness! Ming Youren insisted on bowing down.
"Brother Ming, it's not that I don't help, but you have to see if CITIC wants me to help!" Lu Mingyuan sighed.
"This?" Ming Youren was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ming Zhongxin.
"Uncle Zong, I really can't promise you this time!" Ming Zhongxin smiled bitterly.
"Why?" Ming Youren blurted out unconsciously. This time, anyone can see that going to southern Xinjiang to quell the chaos is a thankless errand, and if you are not careful, you may really fall into the quagmire of southern Xinjiang, and you can't climb up!
"One, Your Majesty's will, no one can commit this crime of the king, even if His Majesty remembers the friendship with Mr. Lu and agrees that Ming Zhongxin does not need to go, but it may not be a mustard, at that time, our Ming family will become a thorn in Your Majesty's side, and the development of the Ming family will encounter unprecedented difficulties; Second, the Ming family has actually been arranged, CITIC is not there is not much to do with it, but CITIC went to southern Xinjiang, His Majesty remembered some incense, protect the Ming family, as long as the Ming family is given time, the Ming family will inevitably be based on this Beijing Division, laying a solid foundation for a hundred years of foundation, as long as they do not die, they will inevitably get preferential treatment from His Majesty, and may even produce some civil and military generals to carry forward the Ming family, and then, the Ming family will also become a big family in this Beijing Division! And if CITIC doesn't go, there are two drawbacks, one will offend His Majesty, and the other will become a thorn in the eyes of some people, which will drag down the Ming family, and when the time comes, I am afraid that not only CITIC will not be able to protect itself, but even the Ming family will be affected! The third Ming also wants to make contributions, this time, relying on the weapons invented by CITIC, it will not necessarily be weaker than those rebels and remnants, show their skills, and lay a great reputation for the Ming family, and at that time, the Ming family will be more stable in Beijing! ”
"With these three, CITIC has to go!" Ming Zhongxin sighed lightly.
Ming Youren was a little dumbfounded, these reasons were really powerful, and he couldn't help but be unconvinced!
But he didn't want to, and for a while, he was in a dilemma!
