Chapter 289: Yan Shaoting becomes the future prince’s boss?

"Your Highness, I am a reader in the Hanlin Academy, a Right Junior of the Right Spring Office of the Chancellery, a reader of the Crown Prince of Prince Yu's Palace, a Langzhong of the Zhejiang Qingli Division of the Ministry of Revenue, a Director of the Changping Public Security Division, and a traveling attendant to the Cabinet, and I am in charge of various matters. I am Yan Shaoting."

"I request your Majesty's approval and order the princes and others to leave the palace and observe the local military affairs, government affairs and civilian affairs, understand the people's sentiments and know their sufferings, so as to carry on your Majesty's holy spirit and benefit the people of the world."

In the main hall of Wanshou Palace.

Yan Shaoting spoke in a loud voice without any disguise.

however.

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

The choice is between supporting the enthronement of a crown prince and opposing the enthronement of a king.

No one could have imagined that there would be a third option.

Even Zhang Juzheng, who was the first to propose this matter, frowned.

Unexpected!

I didn't expect this at all!
In this situation, Yan Shaoting actually created a third option.

Let the prince go out of the palace and observe the military, political and civilian affairs nearby.

Yan Ne, the Minister of Rites, who had often been overtaken by others, could not help himself.

We are all fighting here over whether to enthrone the crown prince or not.

You, Yan Shaoting, are better.

So I came up with a third option.

All of us, young and old, have had our heads smashed to pieces. Is all this blood shed in vain?

Just when Yan Ne took a step forward.

Yan Shaoting's voice had already come over.

"Minister Yan, please wait a moment. I have something else to say. Don't be impatient."

Yan Ne, who had just taken a step forward, was stunned.

He raised his head and looked at Yan Shaoting who was staring at him with an ambiguous look.

Yan Ne swore.

If I were not in the Wanshou Palace, I would have killed Yan Shaoting even if I had to risk my life.

This old guy wants to beat himself up?
Yan Shaoting received Yan Ne's gaze and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Yan Shaoting had already turned around and looked at the old Taoist priest above.

Seeing this boy, he looked back again.

A gleam of light flashed in Jiajing's eyes.

Don’t you want your son to become the crown prince?
how is this possible.

if not...

However, Yan Shaoting gave him a new idea today.

Taking advantage of the disturbance caused by this group of people in the court, his son was able to see for himself the sufferings of the people, which was something that would have been impossible in the past.

For the ministers.

Let the prince go out of the palace to understand the people's sentiments?
Then what are the needs of these ministers?
According to the ideas of these people in the past, the prince only needed to sit in the hall and listen to the teachings of the sages, and then he could grant power to these ministers according to the requirements of the sages, allowing them to exercise the imperial power and laws and govern the world.

The power of the emperor.

It was taken away little by little.

As Jiajing had been emperor for forty years, he was well aware of the twists and turns involved.

He was even more aware that emperors of all dynasties had wanted to challenge this invisible system, but in the end most of them were suppressed by this invisible system.

For example, the Emperor Xiaozong?

Jiajing laughed in his heart.

Xiaozong?

It was because he could do nothing and was good at nothing, but was able to satisfy his ministers, that he could only be given the posthumous title of "Xiao".

Who is this filial piety towards?

Jiajing felt that both theories were false.

He met Yan Shaoting's gaze, waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, just say it. Talking about this and that, are you talking too much?"

The emperor was obviously scolding Yan Shaoting.

But it fell into the eyes of Yan Ne and others.

Considering that today Yan Shaoting followed the emperor out of the inner hall.

This is clearly looking more and more like the emperor's nephew.

No.

Even more intimate than the emperor’s son!
In addition to confusion and doubt, there was also a hint of jealousy in the hall.

If there is a chance.

Who doesn’t want to be the emperor’s son?
Even being a grandson is fine!
Yan Shaoting used his old tricks: "Your Majesty, since Emperor Taizu Gao, most of the princes of this dynasty lived in Fengyang, the capital of the Central Capital, when they were young, and they understood the sufferings of the people and knew about the five grains and various industries.

"When the princes grow up, they will be assigned to work in the court or to command troops to guard the border. Although there are many illegalities and sometimes they are deceived by their own will, there are also talented people among the princes.

The people of the world are scattered across the two capitals and thirteen provinces. The prince is a member of the royal family, your majesty's bloodline, and is supported by the people of the world. How could he not know the five tastes of the people of the world?"

Look.

I, Yan Runwu, am not talking in vain.

Even Emperor Taizu Gaozu gave his sons different tasks to gain experience.

Now it is only necessary to let the sons of His Majesty the current emperor observe the folk customs and habits in the nearby places, so as to inherit the laws of their ancestors and not violate the current rules.

It's reasonable and logical.

Yan Shaoting continued, "The government and the people, civil and military officials, all say that they need to know the five grains and understand the people's sentiments. I have always been very curious, why don't the princes of the royal family need to understand the people's sentiments?"

This is already nakedly stated.

It almost tore off the faces of those hypocritical and upright people in the court.

some people.

His face became even gloomier.

Yan Shaoting continued quietly, "As a human being..."

He slowly turned his neck and looked at everyone present.

"Is there anyone who is born knowing everything?"

“I think this is not entirely true.”

"Thousands of years ago, the people of the Central Plains only knew about the Silk Road in the Western Regions, which led to the rise of the powerful Han and Tang dynasties. Now we know that there are many countries overseas that can bring endless wealth to the Central Plains."

"If Your Majesty can approve the humble advice I have given you today, I will ask Your Majesty to approve it again. In the future, the descendants of the Ming Dynasty royal family must all have the experience of understanding the people and knowing their sufferings."

"The royal family does not know the five grains, and the common people suffer from the five flavors. How can they be a role model for the hundreds of millions of subjects in the world? As the royal family, you are supported by the subjects of the world, and you should also know the subjects of the world."

Speaking of which.

Yan Shaoting paused.

Then he turned to look at the Minister of Rites Yan Ne, whose face was ashen.

"Minister Yan, I have finished speaking."

Subsequently.

Yan Shaoting then retreated behind Old Yan, nodded silently and stood still with his head down.

Inside the palace.

There was silence.

Yan Shaoting not only requested that the princes be allowed to get close to the people and understand their sentiments.

The emperor should also open a way for future royal heirs to leave their homes and visit the people.

Want to object?
need!
Can you object?
No!

Because from the very beginning, Yan Shaoting had already completed the path they used to take.

This statement is for the benefit of the millions of people in the world, and it is for the benefit of all people in the world. Who can object?
Yan Shaoting also laughed in his heart.

Did he do this just to appease the old Taoist priest when these people were arguing about whether to enthrone a crown prince?
Is it just to allow Prince Yu to come to Changping and then gradually become the person he wants to be?
He couldn't help but think of the little brat in Prince Yu's mansion.

Just this brief moment.

Yan Shaoting has already planned countless assignments in his mind, and is just waiting for the little brat to reach the age to go out and study, so that he can arrange them all one by one.

People often say that Zhang Juzheng was good at serving the country but poor at serving himself.

Perhaps I am not good at serving the country.

But you must first work hard to plan for your own future.

Otherwise, the little brat might get angry and kill your whole family.

We have to make sure that little brat will be mad as thunder in the future.

I can only be angry for a while.

above.

Jiajing looked at everyone in front of him in silence.

I wanted to laugh out loud more and more.

Stir it!

Stir it!

Let you continue stirring.

His eyes couldn't help but look at Yan Shaoting.

There were hundreds of thousands of civil and military officials in the court.

Only this child cares about himself in his heart and can truly understand his own sacred heart.

Let Prince Yu go out of the palace and see what the world is like.

All benefits and no harm!
My prince.

The future new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

How could it be the canary in the cage?

Almost subconsciously, Jiajing omitted his previous habit of consulting all officials before dealing with matters.

Instead, he said directly: "Okay!"

He felt that it was not enough and spoke again.

"Very good!"

Without waiting for others to speak.

Jiajing smiled and said, "How can my prince not know the five grains and the sufferings of the people?"

After saying that.

Jiajing's eyes swept over everyone present.

He said quietly, "I still remember that when I first ascended the throne decades ago, there were always people in the court who wanted me to understand the people's feelings and the hardships they were facing. Since you are all arguing about the foundation of the country, let my sons go out to the local areas and take a good look at what the world is like."

There was silence in the hall.

The emperor also stopped them from speaking.

They didn't need to say anything at all.

after all.

Everyone present had said to the emperor many times in the past, "understand the people's sentiments."

Now the emperor complied with their wishes.

Let the princes go to the local areas to understand the people's sentiments.

They object again?

Then what they said in the past was deceiving the king!
Jiajing said in a rare firm tone: "Since none of you have said anything, I think you all agree with Yan Shaoting's advice. If that's the case..."

The Emperor drawled out his words.

Then, as everyone waited, the emperor finally delivered his judgment.

"Immediately order Prince Yu to leave the palace, observe the people of Changping, Shuntian Prefecture, and be appointed as the principal of Changping Academy. From now on, Changping Academy will be under the jurisdiction of Changping Public Security Department."

"I order King Jing to leave the palace, observe the sentiments of the people in Anlu County, De'an Prefecture, and serve as the county magistrate of Anlu County."

The emperor now has only two living sons.

Therefore, this imperial decree could only be sent to Prince Yu’s Mansion and Prince Jing’s Mansion.

Prince Yu was in Beijing, and according to Yan Shaoting's advice, he naturally gained experience in Shuntian Prefecture.

It was only natural for King Jing to be enfeoffed in Anlu last year and understand the people's sentiments in Anlu County.

just.

However, there was something different in the emperor's oral order.

King Jing only held the title of Anlu County Instructor, a position responsible for local education.

Prince Yu was appointed as the president of Changping Academy.

This is not an official position.

But the emperor spoke again, and from then on the position of the principal of Changping Academy was under the jurisdiction of the Changping Public Security Bureau.

This has a slightly different meaning.

Everyone knows what Changping Academy is today.

There were three old gentlemen, Nie Bao, present, and the number one and number two scholar of this exam, who would invariably say that they were from Changping Academy.

Everyone knows that in the future, there will inevitably be a large number of officials from Changping Academy in the court.

Let Prince Yu be the principal of Changping Academy.

That is almost equivalent to saying that Prince Yu should be the future crown prince and the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

And the students who walked out of Changping Academy and entered the court were naturally the elders of Prince Yu’s residence!

But beyond this.

What surprised everyone present was.

The principal of Changping Academy was from then on under the jurisdiction of the Changping Public Security Bureau.

If you remember correctly.

The Chief of Changping Public Security Bureau must be Yan Shaoting.

Prince Yu was the principal of Changping Academy.

Yan Shaoting is the director of the Changping Public Security Bureau.

So, if that's the case...

How could Yan Shaoting become the immediate superior of the future crown prince of the Ming Dynasty?
Even a strong man like Zhang Juzheng was shocked when he realized what was happening.

But the emperor didn't finish his words.

"Yan Shaoting's suggestions are meritorious and beneficial to the country and the people."

"Imperial decree, draft an imperial decree immediately, Yan Shaoting is promoted to Bachelor of Imperial Academy, Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household Department, and Director of the Imperial College."

Inside the palace.

Everyone looked up in surprise and looked at the emperor who was lavishly rewarding Yan Shaoting.

The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy!

The Junior Secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion!
From now on, there is one more director of the Imperial College!
Why is the emperor's favor so great to Yan Shaoting?

but.

The emperor's voice continued.

Jiajing looked at Yan Shaoting with a playful look, and said lightly: "Give him the title of Crown Prince's guest and reward him with a bullfighting suit."
