Chapter 286 Prince Yu who wants to establish his authority
When Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang heard Zhu Zaijing’s question, they looked at each other slightly, and then Zhao Zhenji replied: “The imperial edict said that the purpose of relocating the Hongwen Hall is Upholding the cultural context of the Ming Dynasty and promoting the literary style of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Zaijing sighed and said, "Zuo Yude is right. This is what your Majesty means when he resets the Hongwen Museum. It is not just words, but practical actions. Otherwise, it is better not to set up the Hongwen Pavilion and merge it with Wenyuan Pavilion again."
"So, I also want to ask. I would like to ask you two, since your Majesty has sent you to the Hongwen Pavilion to assist me, where should we take the first step?"
Zhu Zaijing's question made Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang feel shocked. , obviously Zhu Zaijing's question exceeded their expectations. They never expected that Prince Yu would test their abilities during their first visit.
After Zhu Zaijing finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup that Meng Chong had just brought over, blew the tea soup inside slightly, then took a sip and smacked his lips, as if he was relaxed and comfortable.
But Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang were not so relaxed. This question was indeed a bit unexpected for them.
Although the two of them are very knowledgeable and both are noble rookies from the Hanlin Academy, their work experience is also limited. They have only worked in civil servants related to the Hanlin Academy, and Most of the work I do is also retreat-oriented article work.
If you ask them to talk about the current problems, they may talk about it in a long and eloquent way. However, if you ask them to propose some specific and feasible solutions for specific issues, it may take a while. It takes time and practice.
However, these two people are obviously not the kind of unprepared nerds and idlers. They were able to win the favor of Emperor Jiajing in the Imperial Academy where all the elites gathered, and were assigned to Zhu Zaijing as his deputy. Both of them must have a lot of personality.
Zhao Zhenji thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I think the first priority of Hongwen Hall should be to select people. Since Hongwen Hall wants to take on the banner of upright Ming Dynasty culture and promote Ming Dynasty's literary style, it must be necessary to recruit some talented people. The wise men are needed to fill the hall. Therefore, I believe that the top priority should be to recruit talents and build up the structure of Hongwen Hall first."
Zhu Zaijing didn't look good when he heard what Zhao Zhenji said. No, he just said softly, "It is true. I hope that the king and you two will really not be able to set up the Hongwen Hall." At this point, Zhu Zaijing paused again: "But!" < br>
“But who should we recruit? We can’t recruit people from the Hanlin Academy, right? We can’t recruit people from the Imperial College, right? So, even if we want to recruit talented people, we should have a direction. What kind of talents should we recruit? What kind of taxis should we hire?
“And these people to be recruited are directly related to the efficiency and direction of our work. , I wonder if we can do a good job in Hongwen Pavilion. You must know that in the history of Ming Dynasty, Hongwen Pavilion was first established and then abolished. After it was restored, it was merged with Wenyuan Pavilion. "
"If I and you cannot manage the relocation of the Hongwen Hall this time, then we will resign as soon as possible. ”
After saying these words, the expressions on the faces of Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang became embarrassed and solemn. They never expected that they would be so serious when they met King Yu for the first time.
Then Zhu Zaijing said:
"To be honest, I don't think much of some so-called talented people who have high ambitions but low abilities. Therefore, you can recruit whatever talents you want. Do you have your own ideas? And what is your position?"
"Do you think you can easily serve as the director of Hongwen Hall after receiving the order from me? ? First of all, you have to think clearly about the differences between this reset of the Hongwen Hall and the previous one. Is there any overlap between its responsibilities and those of the Hanlin Academy? "
"If so, what should you do? How to deal with it? If not, how should you deal with it? Both of you need to think clearly about it. Also, Prince Yu’s palace does not support idle people. If you two only have empty reputations, you are good at talking. As for your retreat, I still suggest that you two get together in the morning and change places.”
After nearly three years of living in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zaijing has long lost his freshness and childishness. Although he still has some favorable impressions of some historical celebrities, they are already very weak.
So, facing the arrival of Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang, Zhu Zaijing did not show excessive respect for them. After all, these two people were assigned by Emperor Jiajing to serve as Zhu Zaijing's deputies. They were not here to teach Zhu Zaijing to study like Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng.
Therefore, regarding the attitude of his deputy, Zhu Zaijing does not need to be too good. He only needs to establish his power as soon as possible and then do things well.
If these two people think that King Yu is arrogant and contemptuous of scholars, it doesn't matter. Anyway, there are so many people in the Ming Dynasty who want to join King Yu's family.
And after nearly three years of observation and life, Zhu Zaijing also discovered a problem, that is, his usual style of dealing with things is too modest.
If there are only a few people around you, there is nothing wrong with being a little more modest.
But if the relationships around you have to deal with become more numerous and complicated, and if you continue to be so humble and there is no distinction between closeness and distance, then it will be difficult to control.
So in front of the right people, Zhu Zaijing had to show appropriate majesty and temper, so that Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang knew that he was not just a fifteen-year-old boy, but an immediate boss who could decide their future and destiny. !
After Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang heard Zhu Zaijing’s straightforward question, they were shocked again. He quickly stood up and bowed to Zhu Zaijing and said: "I know that I am guilty, please show me. ”
Zhu Zaijing took another sip of tea. Seeing Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang bowing their heads so readily, he was secretly surprised at their ability to bend and stretch.
Sure enough, someone who was able to kill thousands of troops, pass the imperial examination, enter the Hanlin Academy, and be appreciated and favored by Emperor Jiajing is just different from ordinary people.
Zhu Zaijing smiled and showed a friendly smile, "What's going on, you two? Please get up quickly. I was just being more outspoken just now. I hope you two don't take it seriously. "
But Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang have already settled their positions at this moment. They have been awakened by Zhu Zaijing's words. They are not as lucky as Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. He taught and assisted Zhu Zaijing as a scholar and lecturer.
The two of them were assigned to the reset Hongwen Hall just to help Zhu Zaijing. If they didn't clearly understand their positions, they thought they could use their status as "sirs" to deal with Zhu Zaijing. Zai Jing preached.
And if he thought that Zhu Zaijing should treat them with the humility of a polite and virtuous corporal, then he was really thinking wrong.
Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang bowed respectfully to Zhu Zaijing again: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then they sat down obediently again, but this time, they were not as natural as the first time. , but only sat on half of the chair, not all of it.
It can be seen that Zhu Zaijing's power-building effect is quite good, and it has immediate results.
