Chapter 341 The emperors are all from Changping!

Become!

The inner hall of Wanshou Palace.

When Yan Shaoting heard the old Taoist priest ask this question, he knew that the matter was settled.

Since ancient times.

Even at this moment, the old boy in my family.

Just like the old Taoist priest in front of him now.

In addition to having various identities and roles, they also have a common identity and role.

Being a father.

Almost all fathers in the world, without exception, hope that their offspring can excel, become successful and take on important responsibilities.

This will not change due to external events or objects.

The old guy could secretly brag about himself in the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Justice without telling me.

Not to mention the old Taoist priest who is the emperor.

In particular, Zhu Zaigui was almost only missing the title of Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

The old Taoist priest naturally hopes that Zhu Zaigui will be outstanding.

The more capable Zhu Zaigui is, the more assured the old Taoist priest will be.

I caught a glimpse of the expectation hidden in the old Taoist priest's eyes.

Yan Shaoting was fortunate that after spending so much time with the old Taoist priest, he was still able to grasp the other's mentality a little bit.

How could I shoulder such a huge achievement and favor by myself alone?
By then, even the old Taoist priest won’t mind.

You will also become the target of public criticism.

Rather than that.

It would be better to give the bulk of the credit to Prince Yu Zhu Zaigui.

Anyway, even if Zhu Zaigui became emperor in this life, he could not change his experience as the president of Changping Academy.

The emperors are all from the Changping faction!

It's just a small contribution, there's nothing to be stingy about.

then.

Yan Shaoting raised his head, smiling: "The headmaster is kind and benevolent, and he cares about the people of the world. He is sincere and kind. At that time, I was in trouble and didn't know what to do. If it weren't for what the headmaster said, I wouldn't have any solution today. At that time, the headmaster's words are still in front of me. Seeing what the headmaster said and did at that time, I felt like I was seeing the emperor's face."

夸！
At this time, we have to praise Zhu Zaigui a lot for being the most correct choice!

It’s not enough to just praise.

Yan Shaoting lowered his head, clasped his hands together, slowly bent over and lowered his head until his arms were above his head.

He bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "I dare not pry into the emperor's will, and I dare not take credit for it. If your majesty approves the method of making a reply today, I think the headmaster of Changping Academy should be the first to be credited, and the decree should be made public to the world. If your majesty does not approve this method, then you should also issue an edict to commend the headmaster of Changping Academy for his diligence in state affairs and his concern for the country."

Yan Shaoting lowered his head.

But with a smile on his face.

Not only does he have to praise himself, but after praising himself, he also has to ask the emperor for credit on behalf of the emperor's son.

Yan Shaoting, with his head lowered, also had his sight on the pair of official boots with a black surface and white soles on Xu Jie's feet.

Inside the palace.

After Yan Shaoting said that he wanted to ask for credit for Prince Yu Zhu Zaigui, there was silence.

On the platform.

Jiajing's face flushed and was full of smiles, but he forced himself not to utter a word.

He silently watched Yan Shaoting bowing his head, knowing in his heart that this boy would not dare to lie to him at this time.

And if this matter.

If it is true as Yan Shaoting said, that this method was only proposed after Zhu Zaigui mentioned it, then the credit can be attributed to Zhu Zaigui.

My son solved a big problem for me and the court!

It can even solve the eternal problem of whether imperial power can reach the countryside!
Inheritance of the country.

You can rest assured today!

For no reason, Jiajing felt a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart.

Although he has lived in seclusion in the inner court for these years and has not been involved in state affairs most of the time, his son, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, must never be a mediocre monarch!

As for getting to the stage.

Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly and lowered his head, his eyes moving around.

Yan Shaoting always comes up with countless brilliant ideas.

How could he discuss this matter with Prince Yu and make Prince Yu say these words?

Zhang Juzheng didn't think that Prince Yu could say those words on his own initiative.

Yan Shaoting must have laid the groundwork.

But even so.

He still felt extremely surprised.

This time, Prince Yu is very different from the past.

As for Xu Jie, who finally understood the system of recommendation for candidates to become officials, he even forgot what he should say for a moment.

Now if you object.

But you will not only become the enemy of everyone in the world.

And you will become the emperor's enemy!
Oppose the feasible method proposed by the emperor's son?
If this method is not feasible, I can still oppose it from the perspective of serving the country and the people.

but now.

This system of recommending students to become officials is clearly a measure that can be implemented immediately.

I objected again.

In the emperor's view, he, the second-in-command of the cabinet, was ignorant.

An ignorant cabinet minister?
Perhaps Gao Suqing would be happy to take over the position of Second Minister of the Cabinet.

Just as Xu Jie was hesitating about how to intervene in this matter.

Jiajing looked up at Xu Jie.

"Mr. Xu Ge."

Hear the emperor calling.

Xu Jie's shoulders trembled, and he hurriedly bowed and looked up: "I am here."

Jiajing smiled and pointed at Yan Shaoting. "Just now, Lord Xu was also present. The headmaster of Changping Academy proposed the recommendation system for candidates to be officials. Lord Xu has been in the cabinet and has been in charge of state affairs for many years. In my opinion, he is the most stable. I wonder what Lord Xu thinks of this law?"

Xu Jie's pupils contracted.

The emperor said in front of everyone that he had been in charge of state affairs for many years and was the most steady and prudent person.

This obviously means that he hopes I will agree to this matter.

And not just agreement.

We also need to find a more appropriate reason for this method and a reason why it must be implemented immediately throughout the country.

Xu Jie couldn't help feeling a bitter feeling in his mouth.

This is to give credit to the emperor's son.

Xu Jie pondered for a moment, not daring to pause too long.

Just then he turned and looked at Yan Shaoting.

He smiled and said, "Guest Yan."

Yan Shaoting immediately turned sideways and looked over: "Lord Xu."

Xu Jie asked with a smile on his face: "The method discussed by the guest and the headmaster seems to be to make it known to the world and recruit students with outstanding achievements from all over the world to work in the government offices, so as to become officials?"

Yan Shaoting nodded, but he was a little more alert in his heart: "Indeed, I wonder what concerns Lord Xu has?"

One pit after another.

It was dug out from the inner hall of the Wanshou Palace by Xu Jie and Yan Shaoting.

Xu Jie immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "I dare not say doubts, but if we recruit students with meritorious service from all over the country, we can use scholars and candidates, how to distinguish them? Who will decide where to go? After the recruitment, how will the salaries of the waiting officials be provided?"

It is impossible to oppose.

Now we can only add some difficulty to Yan Shaoting.

If Yan Shaoting can't solve it, then perhaps there is still a chance to temporarily suppress this matter.

As long as it is not implemented immediately.

Then I will still have a chance to intervene in this matter, and I can also share a share of this great credit and favor.

But he didn't wait for Yan Shaoting to speak.

Zhang Juzheng said first, "Your Majesty, I think that the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the country, the capital and the secondary capitals, should recruit Juren for employment. The provincial governments and the judicial commissioners' offices of the thirteen provinces should also recruit Juren for employment. All prefectures should recruit both Juren and Xiucai, and all counties should only recruit Xiucai for employment."

Just like Xu Jie’s thoughts.

At this moment, it seemed that the system of recommending students to become officials was about to be implemented unstoppably with the support of Prince Yu.

Zhang Juzheng naturally hoped to get involved, or at least get some benefit from it.

Zhang Juzheng did not forget to turn around and glance at Yan Shaoting.

after all.

He spoke at this time, which was considered as stealing the show.

Yan Shaoting didn't care about it.

I gave the greatest credit to Zhu Zaigui, so let Zhang take advantage of it if he wants.

Jiajing, who had been deep in thought when Xu Jie raised the question, just nodded.

"That's a good idea."

After saying this, Jiajing looked at Zhang Juzheng deeply.

He had no doubt about Zhang Juzheng's ability.

If Zhang Juzheng had not hastily proposed reforms when he returned to Beijing, he would still be his own cabinet minister.

Jiajing immediately added: "Uncle Da is steady in analyzing things and his advice is as good as before, which is very appropriate."

Seeing that the emperor finally called his name again, Zhang Juzheng's face lit up with joy.

I didn’t bet on the wrong thing!

I finally got this light!

Zhang Juzheng immediately said, "As for where to go and who will decide what the Lord Xu asked, I think that since we are selecting students with outstanding achievements from all over the country, it is natural that they should be recommended by the education officials of the two capitals and 13 provinces and the prefecture and county teachers. This should be included in the evaluation of officials to prevent them from recommending students with outstanding achievements due to personal preference.

The people recommended by the two capitals and thirteen provinces will be gathered in the Imperial College in the capital, and the students' pasts will be reviewed again to prevent mistakes. The two capitals will use people from outside the capital, the three provincial offices will use people from other provinces, the prefectures will use people from other prefectures, and the counties will use people from other counties. This will be enough to prevent the people used from colluding with the local authorities. "

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking.

Jiajing also applauded again.

"it is good!"

"This is a good idea! It's feasible!"

Yan Shaoting looked at Zhang Juzheng with doubt and suspicion.

Doesn’t Old Zhang know that he is still the Director of the Imperial College?
If he said so.

In the future, I will also be able to intervene in the appointment and dismissal of the heads of government officials in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty...

And if the Imperial College could control this power.

I guess it will be a nickname for the Ministry of Personnel in the future!

Then do I have to get the position of Chief Academician of the Imperial College for Lao Gao?
Yan Shaoting couldn't help but think about it.

If I could get the job of Imperial College Priest, then...

OK!
OK!
But very quickly.

Xu Jie immediately said, "It is the duty of the education officials of the two capitals, thirteen provinces, and various prefectures and counties to recommend students. However, if the Imperial College is responsible for their review and appointment, will it lead to a shift in the authority of the Ministry of Personnel?"

Jiajing raised his eyebrows.

I didn't expect this to happen.

He couldn't help but look at Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng said, "The Imperial College's chief academician is now concurrently held by Mr. Gao. In addition to his duties at the Ministry of Revenue, Mr. Gao is also in charge of rectifying the administration of officials. Now that the appointment of officials by the government has been handed over to the Imperial College, I believe Mr. Gao will do his best to handle this matter."

Xu Jie was completely speechless.

Because what Zhang Juzheng said was right.

Gao Gong is now the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.

This matter is equivalent to being directly in the hands of the cabinet.

Jiajing also nodded in agreement.

Yan Shaoting glanced at Zhang Juzheng and finally realized why Zhang proposed to join the Imperial College.

It seems that Lao Zhang has placed his hope of returning to the cabinet on Lao Gao!
I finally understood Lao Zhang's intention.

At this time, Jiajing suddenly said, "Uncle, what you said is appropriate, but...how do we calculate the salary of the people we employ, and where do we get it from?"

When it comes to saying this.

Jiajing's gaze had already turned to Yan Shaoting.

Almost subconsciously.

Even Jiajing didn't react.

When he asked this question, he couldn't help but look at Yan Shaoting.

Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie both observed the expressions of the people.

The former master and disciple couldn't help but sigh in unison once again.

really.

Once the issue of money and grain is involved, the emperor will subconsciously wait for Yan Shaoting's answer.

Now in the emperor's view.

No one in the Ming Dynasty knew more about money and grain than Yan Shaoting.

This is naturally a good thing for Yan Shaoting.

But for others, it is a very bad thing.

Because from then on, the emperor would maintain this habit whenever it came to matters concerning the court's finances and grain.

Yan Shaoting didn't keep the old Taoist waiting for long.

"How salaries were paid in the past is how they will be paid in the future."

"but……"

Yan Shaoting paused.

After all, now a whole batch of scholars and juren are to enter the government to work, and they will naturally replace the positions of the original head clerks in the government, and the salary and food will just be paid by someone else.

But he still left a suspense.

really.

Jiajing asked without even thinking: "But what? Do you have any new ideas?"

Say it.

Jiajing stared at Yan Shaoting with scrutiny.

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "But I think that all the students with honors are disciples of the emperor, and I estimate that this amount of money and grain is not too much. If you can give another portion from the treasury, all the students who are used by the government will remember your majesty's grace and work harder in the future."

Xu Jie widened his eyes almost subconsciously.

Yan Shaoting actually wanted to smuggle money out of the emperor's treasury.

But soon he lowered his head.

If it were in the past, or if it were another situation, the emperor would definitely not allow it.

But in this matter, Prince Yu and Yan Shaoting were helped by the people.

But the emperor could also take this favor.

The emperor showed special grace and allocated a separate amount of money and food from the treasury. What would those students who were recruited to work in the government think?

Even the salaries of officials of the current dynasty were paid by the Ministry of Revenue.

But they are not!
They are doing their job and receiving money from the emperor!

Jiajing also understood the difference instantly.

By then, there will probably be no need to worry about whether students all over the world are willing to enter the government and do the work of clerks in the name of waiting for officials.

Everyone is scrambling to get this opportunity to work in the public sector!

A disciple of the emperor.

A sentence of collecting money from the treasury.

It’s a huge honor!
Jiajing looked at Yan Shaoting deeply.

In front of Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, Lu Fang and Huang Jin.

A deep smile gradually appeared on Jiajing's face.

"I really cannot live without nourishing the people in the court for a day!"

"I agree to this!"

As everyone looked in shock.

Jiajing changed the subject and said, "The headmaster of Changping Academy has made a great contribution in his advice this time. I am very pleased with him and I intend to grant him the title of Jijiu of the Imperial College."

Yan Shaoting and the other two were stunned.

Then react instantly.

Immediately.

The three of them were all shocked.

The Ming Dynasty is about to change!
