actually.
Song Gongwen also made the decision in his heart.
What if you find out that your good friend doesn’t know about this?
At that time, we must report to His Majesty and remove the other party from the position of Supervisory Commissioner.
It is okay to be an official, but if it comes at the cost of countless people, it is not allowed under any circumstances.
Zhang Yingxing naturally understood what Song Gongwen meant, so he took a deep breath and said seriously, "Brother Gongwen, don't worry. Since His Majesty has given me such an opportunity, I will definitely do my best and will not let His Majesty, you, or my uncle down."
"I will definitely build a canal that will benefit all people in the world, and do my best to contribute to the Great Wei!"
As for the Grand Canal, building it was not too difficult.
As long as it is sturdy and durable and meets your majesty's wishes, it will be fine.
So he was very clear.
Which of these two projects is the focus?
"I'm relieved by your words." Song Gongwen nodded, then continued, "But you're quite impressive. You actually shared the same idea with His Majesty regarding the canal."
This sentiment is indeed true. In his eyes, digging the Grand Canal is a very good thing, which benefits the country and the people.
But it’s not something that ordinary people can come up with.
Your Majesty is wise and powerful.
It is normal for him to have such a forward-looking vision.
And since this good friend had traveled all over the seas and mountains of Wei, it was expected that he would make this suggestion.
The problem is that now I have thought of everything, and at the same time...
"Not to mention you, actually I didn't expect it either."
Zhang Yingxing thought for a moment and said, "As you said before, Your Majesty is a wise ruler throughout history. While the Grand Canal is a good idea, it will cost the people money and labor for a long time. Even if Your Majesty knew about it, he wouldn't bring it up so quickly, right?"
"Even if we have to bring it up, we will follow my uncle's advice and do it in several steps."
He had also heard from Song Gongwen about what happened in today's imperial meeting.
Zhang Yingxing also admitted that the Grand Canal was a waste of money and labor.
After all, it is from north to south.
The distance is more than two thousand miles, and it will take a lot of national strength to support it.
Although the court is not in a turbulent time now, reforms are being implemented in the south of the Yangtze River and there is a war in the north.
Logically speaking, His Majesty should choose to proceed cautiously.
For example, the advice from my uncle.
Divide it into several sections and then slowly excavate it.
In this way, we can avoid wasting national strength and maintain the stability of the court.
But His Majesty chose not to do so.
When Song Gongwen heard his doubts, he immediately softened and continued, "Your Majesty is a man of great courage. Even if he knew the road ahead would be difficult and dangerous, he would not choose to retreat."
"Now you are an official appointed by the court. You will understand what I say in the future."
"In short, as subjects, being able to assist such a monarch is absolutely a lifetime honor!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
This made Zhang Yingxing next to him a little moved for a moment.
In the past few days, I have been hearing the other party praising the current emperor. Now that I hear these words again, how can I not be emotionally moved?
If it were before, he was just an idle person and he could ignore it, but now he is also an official of the court.
Know the significance of a wise ruler to a country and its subjects.
But Zhang Yingxing didn't say much.
Because I know it very well in my heart.
No matter what, you must do it well and perfectly.
Moreover, in his plan, Wei Zhidao and the construction of the Grand Canal were just the manifestation of his inner talents and ambitions. In the future, he would do much more.
Help His Majesty to strengthen the country and become a truly prosperous dynasty!
Then, the two chatted about some other irrelevant things.
Zhang Yingxing felt that he should take office as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the construction of the Grand Canal and Weizhidao will start as soon as possible.
So I didn't stay there for long and went straight to the Ministry of Industry.
Of course, Song Gongwen did not forget to write a document to prove his identity.
However, if he wanted to take office, he still told Zhang Yingxing to go to the Ministry of Personnel.
Besides it is a necessary procedure.
I just want to take this opportunity to get the other party and the teacher together.
After all, the other party has never gone back since he came back.
Zhang Yingxing naturally would not refuse.
He knew that his uncle was no longer the same as before, so there was nothing wrong in seeing him.
So after getting the documents, I left in a hurry.
At the same time, the Censorate.
The Censorate is the building closest to the imperial palace, second only to the Hanlin Academy.
It is even closer than the six ministries.
This also fully illustrates the status of the censor.
The censor also had a high social status.
One must be among the top three in the imperial examination to be eligible to enter.
Because they are basically selected from the candidates.
Therefore, officials of the Censorate and the Hanlin Academy were usually called the new elites of the Qing Dynasty. After serving for a certain number of years, they could at best become prefects of a region. Some of them would simply enter the six ministries and take up positions of real power.
For a period of time, the Censorate was extremely busy.
A few months ago, Prince Yan was enfeoffed.
Almost everyone in the Censorate submitted memorials, some even three a day.
It’s a pity that His Majesty acted arbitrarily and all his ideas were refuted.
The censors were very unwilling to accept this.
But it's very quick.
Your Majesty also promoted Song Gongwen to the cabinet, promoting him seven levels at once.
The censors felt that the opportunity had come again, and then they began to submit their memorials without stopping.
But the final result was refuted.
Then, there was the matter of Song Hongzhi being appointed as the commander of Liaozhen and the Empress Dowager's cousin Sun Kejian doing business privately.
The people in the Censorate were very conscientious and felt that there was a big problem, so they began to submit a memorial.
Unfortunately, the battle of Gaoyang Kingdom was a great victory and Gaoyang Kingdom was destroyed.
This made many imperial censors lose face.
Especially after His Majesty's repeated warnings, the number of reports on Sun Kejian was reduced.
Nowadays, people in the Censorate no longer write memorials, and they are no longer as busy as before, with nothing to do every day.
Even the Chief Censor who was in charge of the Censorate sometimes didn't come.
But these.
But it doesn't affect anyone at all.
That was Cheng Rui, the then Chief Censor.
Because of the Sun Kejian incident, he submitted two memorials and was fined twice in a row.
But he was not afraid. He was now sitting in the Censorate, preparing to write the third memorial!
