Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Li Yan's answer made Zhu Youjian even happier.

Although this son is indeed a tragic hero that everyone regrets in history.

However, Li Yan's character, after all, he judged from the book.

Zhu Youjian didn't dare to vouch for whether Li Yan was really the person described in the book.

After all, as long as we are human, we have seven emotions and six desires, and it is impossible to be perfect.

It wasn't until Li Yan admitted that he was not as good as Fang Zhenghua that he truly felt relieved.

A person who has the courage to admit his shortcomings will not be too bad.

Zhu Youjian suppressed his thoughts and continued to ask:

"Then let me ask you again. In my court today, Fan Jingwen is in charge of the cabinet, Ni Yuanlu is in charge of the household department, Chen Qiyu is in charge of the rites department, and Fang Yuegong is in charge of the engineering department...

How do you think you compare with them? "

After the martial arts competition, then the literary competition.

Since Li Yan is going to be used, his pride must be completely destroyed.

Only when Li Yan believed that he was not as important in Ming Dynasty as he imagined, could Zhu Youjian let go and use him.

Zhu Youjian has always done this.

Whether it is Zhu Yujian or Zuo Liangyu, Zhu Youjian has a consistent routine.

I have to say that the officialdom said that he was a shady person, but it was really not bad at all...

Li Yan continued to shake his head:

"Your Majesty, you are looking down upon me. How can I compare to them?"

minister……"

Li Yan scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment.

His face turned red instantly, and even his ears turned red:

"When I joined the Chuang Army, in order to improve my career, I had to declare that I was a juren.

In fact, how can I be a judge? "

Zhu Youjian burst out laughing. It turned out that the famous Juren Li Yan was not actually a Juren!

Come to think of it, is it easy to work under a banner?

When Li Yan took refuge with Li Zicheng, Lao Li had already been involved in the rebellion for many years. Although it was Li Zicheng's lowest point at that time, he had many powerful generals under his command.

It's extremely difficult for him to enter Li Zicheng's inner circle without the name of being a judge!

He understands this truth.

"Then you do martial arts?"

Li Yan shook his head again:

"Your Majesty, this is a long story.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Chen, his clan brother Li Zhong and others, together with his cousin Chen Zuoting, went to the provincial capital to take the martial arts examination.

Unexpectedly, because Chen Zuoting did not bribe the target officer, he clearly hit the red heart, but the target officer pulled out the arrow and said he missed the target.

In a rage, Chen Zuoting took the target reporting officer's sword and hacked him to death.

Chen Zuoting got into trouble, so naturally he couldn't pass the martial arts exam...

All the honors and honors of the ministers and others were revoked...

Afterwards, Chen Zuoting went to Li Jiyu's camp to avoid disaster.

My brother Li Zhong and I had no choice but to flee to Fengqi County, Kaifeng, and take refuge with our aunt's house..."

Zhu Youjian's eyes widened:

"So, the Qing family is neither a human examination nor a martial arts examination?"

Li Yan was a little embarrassed and said with a smile:

"I originally passed the exam...

After something like this happened, I was naturally dismissed from my job title..."

What the hell!

Zhu Youjian ate a big melon.

Li Yan, who is famous all over the world, is neither a civil or military scholar?

even--

Is this guy still a fugitive?

God!

The world is so crazy!

However, he would naturally believe Li Yan when he revealed that he was ugly.

The corruption in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty did not happen in a day or two!

As early as the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the literati group was able to conduct imperial examinations, creating a jaw-dropping place like Ji'an.

It is even more unreasonable to mention that at this time when the country is about to collapse, there is a military selection process that is not favored by the officialdom.

The target officer's demand for bribes...

Isn’t it a true portrayal of officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty?

Li Yan looked embarrassed and said:

"Your Majesty, minister, minister...

I didn’t mean it. It’s really Chen Zuoting’s temper that is too irritable...

After all, he is a warrior after all..."

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"Li Yan, this is not your fault!"

What?

Li Yan was stunned.

"Ugh!"

Zhu Youjian sighed:

“The officialdom is determined to oppress the people at the lower level, and to deceive the people at the upper level.

Not to mention you, who is about to take the martial arts exam, even I was kept in the dark by them! "

"It's not your fault, Chen Zuoting killed well!"

Zhu Youjian stared:

"Good kill!

The Qing family wanted to serve the country, but corrupt officials demanded bribes...

This kind of thieves is forced by the government to rebel, so why should he be left alone?

Chen Zuoting killed well! "

Li Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked the emperor for his cousin.

The train just arrived outside Shangnan City.

Zhu Youjian pointed to the slogan painted on the wall outside the window and said seriously:

"Look at all the villages, I have made it clear to the world that if the government forces the people to rebel, they will be killed without guilt!

The Qing family and others originally wanted to serve the country with loyalty and be the pillars of our Ming Dynasty.

It's those dog officials who oppressed the people and forced you to rebel!

Where is your fault in this?

Not only are you not guilty, but you have also gained merit! "

Li Yan's so-called "juren" background has always been Li Yan's worry.

He was afraid that one day, he would become evidence of being attacked.

Hearing what the emperor said, Li Yan's eyes turned red and he choked up:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, sir..."

"alright, alright!"

Zhu Youjian patted Li Yan on the shoulder:

"In my case, you are a civil servant, not only a military civil servant, but also a civil civil servant!

I have personally learned what you, Li Yan, are capable of.

If it weren't for the ballads you compiled, Li Zicheng wouldn't be able to enter the capital! "

Li Yan was shocked and was about to plead guilty, but was stopped by the emperor.

He said seriously:

"I am going to place you in the Information Agency as the Minister of the Information Agency and the Chief Minister of Yitongjiu Temple.

Li Yan, I have personally witnessed this mouth of yours.

The Information Department leaves it to you, I don’t worry! "

Information Agency?

Li Yan's eyes widened in confusion.

What organization is this?

For what?

Department means official office, he naturally understands it.

But, what is this “news”?

Zhu Youjian raised his hand and gestured to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen turned around hurriedly, found a question book from the bookshelf behind him, and placed it in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at Zhu Youjian hesitantly.

Zhu Youjian told him to open it, but he explained:

"This is the folder I sent to you. It contains the ideas of the Information Agency. Take a look."

Li Yan silently opened the memorial and read it carefully.

Li Yan took a quick look at it and found that the so-called Information Department was actually a comprehensive department.

Only then did he look carefully again.

The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became!

This is a new department that integrates the "General Affairs Department", "Liu Ke", "Di Bao", "Honglu Temple" and other relevant government propaganda agencies for the people, as well as external propaganda agencies.

"Your Majesty wants Wei Chen to serve as a mouthpiece to explain the government's affairs?"

Li Yan hit the nail on the head.

He thought for a moment and said hesitantly:

"His Majesty!

Doesn't this coincide with the "Daming Royal Daily" and "Daming Royal Evening News"? "
