Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Yang Yiqing, Jin Gui, these four cabinet ministers, there is a huge difference from history, indicating that Yang Tinghe can no longer control the court - even the cabinet!

Now, Yang Tinghe's primary goal is not to govern the world, nor to attack traitors, but to pull Jiang Mian into the cabinet as a helper.

"Your Majesty asked me to discuss rewarding the king's servant, what do you colleagues think?" Yang Tinghe asked.

Liang Chu smiled bitterly: "This merit must be rewarded heavily, but in terms of the age of Wang Shilang, there is no reward for it." You can't let him be the left waiter, or be in charge of the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Palace, right? ”

Jin Gui suddenly said: "Don't forget, when Wang Shilang was the governor of Zhejiang, he increased the northern tariff silver of Zhejiang tenfold, and deported nearly 100,000 taels of sea tax to the household department. It is reported that he rectified the people's customs in Zhejiang, and the phenomenon of infant drowning was greatly reduced, which is also immeasurable. These achievements have not been rewarded yet! ”

Yang Yiqing also stood on Wang Yuan's side: "He has both talent and merit, no matter what age he is?" I said that he should be promoted to be a left waiter! ”

Jin Gui said: "According to the military report, Wang Shilang's exploits are not as simple as beheading the little Mongolian prince. His Majesty pursued the enemy too deeply, with only 500 cavalry with him, and was almost flanked by tens of thousands of Tatars. It was Wang Shilang who commanded five thousand light horsemen and brought His Majesty out of the Tatar encirclement. His Majesty was trapped in the valley, and it was Wang Shilang who commanded it properly, and killed the little Mongolian prince at a critical moment, causing the Tatar army to collapse and flee directly. Wang Shilang, he has the merit of saving and protecting the country! A left waiter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

Liang Chuyin said with compassion: "These are all military exploits, and they should be made marquis." ”

Jin Gui has a deep grudge with Liang Chu in the past two years, and sneered: "Even if Wang Shilang agrees, Your Majesty will not agree." Elder Liang Ge is so confident, maybe he can go to His Majesty and discuss this matter. ”

Liang Chu asked, "Am I wrong?" Wang Shilang's achievements are all great military exploits, and his military exploits should be knighted. A mere earl naturally can't show the martial arts of Wang Shilang, so I said that he should be made a marquis directly. ”

"Huh." Jin Gui was too lazy to talk nonsense.

Yang Yiqing said: "A left squire, and he must be in the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of War." He was promoted to the position of the Hanlin Academy, and added Wenxun to the extreme, giving countless rewards and gold and silver. And then he shall give his father and mother, and his brother, his wife, and his son, and his brother's son. I heard that Wang Shilang also had a concubine room, and his concubine also gave an order, which showed the grace of the court. ”

Although Yang Tinghe was a little reluctant to see Yang Yiqing, he had to admit that Yang Yiqing was indeed more reliable than Liang Chu. He immediately nodded and said, "According to what the Nunnery said, I will present it to His Majesty." ”

The next day, Zhu Houzhao received a reply from the cabinet, and the reward was as follows:

Wang Yuan was promoted to the left squire of the Ministry of War, and was also promoted to the bachelor of Hanlin (honorary vacant position), awarded the good doctor (Zheng Erpin Sanjie), awarded the senior political Yin (Zheng Sanpin Wenxun), and the position of the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Shifu remained unchanged.

Wang Jiang, the mother of Wang Yuan, is a lady of the third grade; Huang E, the wife of Feng Wangyuan, is a lady of the third grade; Feng Wang Yuan's concubine Xiangxiang is a four-grade flattering person.

Wang Quan, the father of Wang Yuan, was awarded the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households (fictitious, not hereditary); awarded Wang Yuan's brother Wang Meng as the general of Wude (Zhengwupin Wuxun); Wang Teng, the nephew of Yin Wang Yuan, is a hundred households of Jinyi Wei (fictitious, not hereditary).

Reward Wang Yuan with thousands of acres of fertile land, 100 taels of gold and 1,000 taels of silver.

Zhu Houzhao smiled casually and said to the accompanying eunuchs: "I am not satisfied, go back to the cabinet!" ”

The four ministers are crazy, and all aspects have been taken into account, how else can they be rewarded?

Soon, the revised reward plan was sent to the leopard room again for the emperor to see.

This time, there are more and the following contents: posthumously crowned Wang Yuan's grandfather Wang En, as the servant of the ministry; posthumously crowned Wang Yuan's grandmother (the name of the cabinet is unknown), is a third-grade lady; posthumously crowned Wang Yuan's great-ancestor Wang Hong, as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites; Posthumously crowned Wang Yuan's great-grandmother (the name of the cabinet is unknown), and she is a lady of the third grade.

Wang Yuan's ancestors for three generations, including those who have died, have all been sealed.

Zhu Houzhao was still not satisfied, and once again sent back to the cabinet for revision.

The ministers said that they could no longer seal it and directly united to strike.

Seeing that the cabinet did not reply, Zhu Houzhao could only add a sentence by himself, and then asked the eunuch to send it to the ministers.

Seeing the content added by Emperor Zhu Pen, Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Jin Gui and Yang Yiqing were directly dumbfounded, and they were actually "awarded Wenhuadian University Scholars"!

"Absolutely not!" Liang Chu was immediately excited.

Yang Tinghe finally showed anger, slapped the table and said, "Of course not!" ”

Jin Gui sighed and said, "Alas, Your Majesty is still too anxious. ”

Liang Chu paused and said, "Why is it urgent? It's just a matter of letting Wang Yuan enter the cabinet, but he is still a scholar of Wenhua Palace! ”

The grades of university scholars are not divided into high and low, and they are all positive five grades.

However, there are also promotion rules and potential rankings, from high to low: Huagai Hall Scholar, Jinshen Hall Scholar, Wenhua Hall Scholar, Wu Yingdian University Scholar, Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, and East Pavilion University Scholar. (In addition, the Hanlin Bachelor can also be a cabinet minister, but he is a special editor, and the official documents must be added with "into the cabinet" and "straight cabinet" to distinguish them.) ）

Why are Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu angry?

Wang Yuan was too young, and the emperor actually let him enter the cabinet as an auxiliary minister.

It's just a matter of being a cabinet minister, or a scholar of Wenhua Palace!

The Mandarin Hall Scholar is very special because this hall is related to the crown prince. Soon after the emperor established the crown prince, he awarded Wang Yuan the title of scholar of Wenhua Palace, which is self-evident, which is clearly to train the prince for the future first assistant!

Even if everyone knows that Wang Yuan has a great future, as long as there are no accidents, it is a sure thing to be the first assistant in the future, but Zhu Houzhao is so obvious that it is enough to meet people's needs.

Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu were disgusted, Yang Yiqing also felt that it was inappropriate, and Jin Gui thought that the emperor was too impatient.

"What worries me the most has happened," Prince Liang said worriedly, "Your Majesty has an uninhibited personality, and Wang Ruoxu is young and vigorous. He has made great contributions this time, and he may be qualified to enter the cabinet, but the future government will inevitably be a mess. The community is in danger, the society is in danger! ”

Yang Yiqing couldn't help but sneer, in his opinion, Wang Yuan was much more reliable than Liang Chu. However, I still have to object, Wang Yuan's qualifications are too shallow and too young, and this entry into the cabinet is purely to encourage seedlings, and it will also set a very bad precedent.

The four people, who originally contradicted each other, were forced by the emperor to work together to write a recital and persuade each other.

Zhu Houzhao didn't listen and acted arbitrarily.

At this time, the cabinet was directly beaten back to its original form, and the ministers were nothing more than advisers to the emperor.

Advisers, advisers, the emperor did not care, and the cabinet immediately caught blind.

Prime minister?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a prime minister at that time!

Since the cabinet did not agree, Zhu Houzhao simply bypassed the cabinet. Inform the civil and military officials to convene a court meeting, and he will directly announce when he goes to the court that he will pull Wang Yuan into the cabinet whether he is alive or dead, and he is also a very sensitive scholar of Wenhua Palace.
