Chapter 209: Flexibility

"Qi Yu Majesty, the first return of Jiaozhi, it is the time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, the minister heard that when Mr. Li was the head of the Criminal Department in the past, he had patrolled Huguang, he was fair and strict, loved the people like a son, encouraged agriculture and mulberry, built water conservancy, and benefited countless people in Huguang. I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry? Read the website."

Under the attention of the ministers in the palace, Li Yuntian said loudly to Emperor Hong Xi, "The minister thinks that since Master Li has the talent to govern the place, it is better to take up the post of Jiaozhi and share the worries of His Majesty." ”

"Just according to what Aiqing said." Emperor Hong Xi thought that this idea was good, not only kicked Li Qingzheng away from afar, so as not to dangle in front of his eyes, but also gave Li Qingzheng a chance to be loyal to Daming: Aren't you good for Daming? Then go and deal with Cochin! It's the best of both worlds.

At the same time, this is also a warning to those civil officials who want to use Emperor Hong Xi to win their reputation, if there is no more purpose, rhetoric, and want to show loyalty, then Emperor Hong Xi does not need to be angry anymore, and directly throw him to the poor countryside to become an official, so as not to make noise again, so as to kill this unhealthy trend of fame and reputation among civil officials.

"Your Majesty has a will, retreat from the dynasty!" After finishing speaking, Emperor Hong Xi got up and left, and the attendant standing in front of the dragon chair shook the dust in his hand and shouted in a sharp voice.

"Congratulations to His Majesty!" When the ministers in the hall heard this, they bowed to Emperor Hongxi.

"Congratulations to His Majesty!" After the edict of the retreat of the imperial chamberlain on duty in front of the Taihe Hall was shouted, the civil and military officials in the square in front of the palace saluted in unison, and the momentum was quite spectacular.

When Emperor Hongxi walked out of the side door in front of the main hall, the ministers in the hall who were bowing down straightened up and left the Taihe Hall in groups.

Although the officials at the back of the queue are closest to the palace gate, they can't go first, the officialdom is strictly hierarchical, especially in the Taihe Palace, which represents the supreme authority, according to the rules, the ministers in front of the queue go out of the palace first, and they come out according to their status, and the people in the back can only wait.

The people of the royal family naturally walked in front, and Wenchen and Xungui followed side by side on the left and right.

"Resurrection!" Yang Shiqi, as the first assistant of the cabinet, naturally walked with Yang Rong, Huang Huai, Jin Youzi, Qian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other civil leaders, and waved to Li Yuntian cordially when he passed by his queue.

Seeing this, Li Yuntian hurriedly walked out of the queue and bowed down to follow behind Yang Shiqi and the others.

Yang Shiqi was very satisfied with Li Yuntian's appearance today, but in fact, he did not approve of the practice of using empty dead advice to win fame, which was not conducive to the atmosphere in the court in the long run.

Although Yang Shiqi knew that Li Qingzheng's words were too extreme, as the first assistant of the cabinet, he could only sit idly by, because he had to protect the reputation of the officials, especially the reputation of Li Qingzheng, a scholar of Hanlin.

Li Yuntian stepped forward today and belittled Li Qingzheng first and then praised him, not only criticizing the phenomenon of selling fame and reputation in the court, being superficial in people, and being strict with others and treating himself leniently, but also saved Li Qingzheng's life.

As an affirmation of Li Yuntian, Yang Shiqi deliberately asked him to follow behind him to show his attitude towards Li Yuntian's impeachment of Li Zhengqing this time.

Just like what Li Yuntian said before, he is an imperial historian who is rich in the duties of supervising hundreds of officials, so it is natural and understandable to impeach Li Qingzheng for his inappropriate words.

If Li Yuntian impeached Li Qingzheng for something else, then the civil officials above the court would definitely not have any objections, after all, Li Yuntian was an official, and it was a matter of course for him to impeach others.

However, because Li Qingzheng's admonition involved Emperor Hongxi, since ancient times, civil officials have been proud of "committing crimes", and forcing the emperor to "admit mistakes" is the highest honor.

Therefore, Li Yuntian opened his mouth to defend Emperor Hong Xi, although his words were reasonable, but in the eyes of many people, he was flattering Emperor Hong Xi and lost the character of a scholar, so in his heart he regarded him as a villain who was subservient and subservient for the sake of his career.

What's more, he thinks that Li Yuntian is a scourge of the Ming Dynasty, and he has ruined the dignity and reputation of the Ming Dynasty officials with his incorruptible tongue, and he is really a thief of the country.

Li Yuntian had long expected this result, so he was also ready to meet all kinds of criticism, in his opinion, literati should not only have a backbone, but more importantly, they should be down-to-earth and pragmatic, loyal to their duties, rather than boasting, people are superficial, that is undoubtedly a corpse vegetarian meal.

There are people who envy and despise Li Yuntian, and naturally there are people who praise and admire him, Li Yuntian's remarks in the Taihe Hall are completely the heartfelt words of the times, since Emperor Hong Xi ascended the throne in government affairs, frugality and love for the people, both domestic and foreign affairs have made great achievements, Li Qingzheng's advice is really too extreme.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the lower officials are guilty of sin, and they will retire first." When he came to the door of the main hall, Yang Shiqi was about to open his mouth to comfort Li Qingzheng, who was kneeling in front of the door, Li Qingzheng stood up, arched his hand to Yang Shiqi and the others with a bloodless face, and then glared at Li Yuntian angrily, left on his own, and soon went down the imperial stairs, mixed with the officials who were out of the palace in the square in front of the palace.

Although the officials in the Taihe Palace wanted to retreat according to the level of rank, the officials in the square did not have this scruples, and turned around and left the palace directly, and nearly 10,000 people rushed to the palace gate.

Looking at Li Qingzheng's back, Yang Shiqi shook his head helplessly, I'm afraid that Li Yuntian and Li Qingzheng's beam has become bigger.

Don't look at Li Yuntian who said a lot of good things for Li Qingzheng, not only spared Li Qingzheng's death but also saved Li Qingzheng's entire family, but a scholar like Li Qingzheng regards his name and honor as more important than his life, how can he receive Li Yuntian's "hypocrisy", I am afraid that he will only remember Li Yuntian's words and humiliation of him in the main hall.

The matter of Li Yuntian's heated argument with Li Qingzheng above the main hall soon spread throughout the capital, and people had mixed opinions and attitudes towards it.

"Mingxin Pao" also made a special page to publish this incident, but it only retold the story of the incident, and did not express any critical opinions.

Those who supported Li Yuntian believed that Li Yuntian's words and deeds above the main hall were deafening and deaf, and they were a kind of wake-up call to the Ming officials, while the opponents regarded Li Yuntian as a despicable villain who did not compromise on the means of fame and fortune, and who was vain as a gentleman without the slightest character of a scholar.

These two factions of people in the newspaper clashed with each other, neither of them could argue with each other, but it attracted the attention of the people in the capital, every issue of the newspaper was sold out, this kind of large-scale confrontation between literati was the first time in the Ming Dynasty, and the focus was still the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty.

What is particularly surprising is that as the owner of the Mingxin Pavilion, Li Yuntian actually allowed those who opposed him to publish articles in the newspaper to criticize him, which really surprised everyone.

In Li Yuntian's view, it is not clear whether the reason is clear, and with the confrontation between the two factions in the newspapers, more people will definitely understand his approach.

The heated debate between Li Yuntian and Li Qingzheng above the main hall not only sparked heated discussions among the people, but also had a great impact on Emperor Hong Xi.

After retiring from the dynasty, Emperor Hongxi did not return to the Qianqing Palace to deal with government affairs, but went to the Kunning Palace where the queen lived.

Knowing that Emperor Hongxi was coming, Empress Zhang, who was chatting with Zhaorong Tan in the house, hurriedly led Tan out to greet her.

Tan is Emperor Hongxi's favorite concubine, not only knowledgeable, but also respectful to Empress Zhang, so he is deeply loved and trusted by Emperor Hongxi and Empress Zhang, and often assists Emperor Hongxi and Empress Zhang in handling affairs, which can be described as a rare virtuous helper.

"Put it on a candle flame and burn it." After letting the chamberlains and palace maids in the room retreat, Emperor Hong Xi sat on the soft couch, handed the handkerchief in his hand to Tan, and ordered while coughing.

Tan Shi took the handkerchief and was stunned when he saw it, only to see that there was a large pool of blood on the handkerchief, it turned out that Emperor Hong Xi was so angry that Li Qingzheng coughed up blood just now above the main hall, no wonder he kept it in his hand and did not give it to the attendant on the side.

Although Emperor Hongxi inherited the unification and sat on the Ming Dynasty, he still felt very difficult in the face of the nobles who were proud of their achievements in the court and held heavy troops, as well as the Wenchen group that was arrogant and arrogant, and had a big tail, so that now the cabinet and the five governments and six ministries have formed a stalemate.

This seems to be a struggle between the cabinet and the five governments and six ministries, but in fact it is a fierce confrontation between the monarchy and the ministers, Emperor Hongxi wants to centralize the power of the central government, and the officials and nobles of the five governments and six ministries are naturally unwilling to give up the power in their hands, so they rise up to resist.

What is particularly important is that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, is eyeing Le'an and has been coveting the dragon chair in the court, so how can Emperor Hongxi let the outside world know that he is not feeling well, to the point of coughing up blood, so as not to cause chaos in the current situation.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Empress Zhang saw the blood on the handkerchief, and was taken aback, the Son of Heaven coughed up blood, but it was a matter of great importance to the country.

Emperor Hong Xi asked Empress Zhang to pour a glass of water, drank a few sips, and leaned on the soft couch to tell what happened in the main hall today.

"I can see it now, in this Manchu Dynasty, Li Yushi and I are the same heart, and he can speak to me at a critical moment, no wonder the first emperor will value him so much." After finishing speaking, Emperor Hong Xi couldn't help but praise Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian was not afraid of offending the scholar group in the court in the main hall today, and not only came forward to impeach Li Qingzheng, but also properly handled the matter of Li Qingzheng, which not only made Emperor Hongxi breathe a bad breath, but also did not make Emperor Hongxi bear the slightest infamy, which invisibly won the trust of Emperor Hongxi.

"Your Majesty, Li Yushi is steady, and he cares about the Ming Dynasty, it is better to let him enter the cabinet to experience it, and he can be entrusted with important tasks in the future." Empress Zhang also felt that Li Yuntian's affairs were done beautifully today, and seeing that Emperor Hong Xi was in a good mood, she lost no time in mentioning yì, she liked Zhou Yuting who often went into the palace to ask her for peace, so she naturally wanted to help Li Yuntian speak.

"Li Yushi's qualifications are still young, and when he enters the Hanlin Academy the year after he comes, I will ask him to assist the cabinet members on errands." Emperor Hong Xi groaned and bowed slightly.

Li Yuntian is now only a scholar, not yet a Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, and now the people who assist Yang Shiqi and other cabinet members in the cabinet to deal with government affairs will have the official positions of Hanlin Editor, Hanlin Review, Hanlin Revision, Hanlin Attendant Lecture, and Hanlin Attendant.

Since the Cabinet is the highest hall of the Great Doctor, only the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy is qualified to enter the Cabinet to assist the cabinet members in running errands, and these Hanlin are also candidates for future cabinet members.

Two years later, it was the day of the assessment of the Shuji Shi who studied in Wenyuan Pavilion, and those who passed the examination entered the Hanlin Academy to become Hanlin, and those who failed to pass left Wenyuan Pavilion and were sent to serve in the yamen of the major ministries in the capital.

With Li Yuntian's current grade, if he can successfully pass the guò assessment, then he will be awarded the Hanlin attendant of the sixth grade or the Hanlin attendant of the sixth grade, and Emperor Hong Xi will naturally be able to let him enter the cabinet on errands.

Although this conversation between Emperor Hong Xi and Empress Zhang was simple, it had a huge impact on Empress Zhang in the next incident. One
