Chapter 11: Shaozhi, or Jiajing
Zhu Houxi doesn't feel that his request is excessive, in fact, it is indeed not excessive, once a son of heaven and a courtier, he became the emperor, and arranged a few henchmen and trustworthy people, isn't it reasonable!
It's funny, Yang Tinghe on the other side actually knew Zhu Houxi's thoughts, and followed his words.
"Your Majesty, the old minister heard that Jiangxi was sent by the inspector, and Yuan Zonggao traveled thousands of miles to the north to assist Your Majesty. He is also His Majesty's master, and he has served as the governor of the palace for many years, and he has worked hard, and the old minister thinks that he is the first thing His Majesty will appoint, right? ”
Zhu Houxi nodded, in fact, he wanted to say that there were other people, but everything was in order, and Teacher Yuan was really hard, so he should fight for a good position.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi's eyes lit up, and he asked seriously: "Then what position can Mr. Yuan hold?" ”
Yang Tinghe said without thinking: "Your Majesty, Yuan Zonggao is a three-grade inspector, in the opinion of the old minister, first level the Ministry of Rites, serve as a waiter, and then promote the official position after a while, so that the criticism of the overpromotion is also saved, which is enough to convince the officials." ”
What is Shousuke!
That's it!
Even if Zhu Houxi doesn't know much about the official system, he also knows that although the waiter of the Ministry of Rites does not have much power, he takes a step forward, that is, he is the prime minister, or enters the Ministry of Officials, and is in charge of the election, and in some cases, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites can directly increase the rank of bachelor and enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister.
As for the envoys, although they are also three grades, there are also political envoys on the left and right, and there is a governor on the political envoys.
According to the current practice of the Ming Dynasty, some governors are served by the imperial history of the four products.
The political envoy, the imperial history of the capital, and then the waiter of the Ministry of Rites...... The difference between this is simply unreasonable, and no matter how many people have exhausted their life's efforts, they can't touch it at all.
And what about Yang Tinghe, how did he describe it?
Flat!
It's just flat!
When the envoys of the thirteen provinces heard these two words, they could cry!
How much they want to do it, too!
But Yang Tinghe has his own reasons.
Back then, he was just an ordinary Hanlin, and the reason why he was able to jump into the cabinet and become a scholar was inseparable from the identity of the prince's teacher.
In fact, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is very different from that at the beginning of the country.
After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Zhongshu Province, the power was divided into internal and external, there were six Shangshu in Beijing, and thirteen political envoys outside, so Shilang released the political envoy outside, and the political envoy was transferred to serve as Shangshu.
During this period, the boundary between Beijing officials and foreign officials was not obvious, so there was an arrangement of the same rank as the inspector and the waiter.
When the cabinet grew and gradually had the power of the prime minister, the three local departments also continued to weaken, and the power fell into the hands of the governor, showing more and more a situation of controlling the big with the small.
But a scholar is only a five-grade scholar, so why should he become the boss of a civil official?
Are those Shangshu convinced?
Especially the officials of the Ministry of Heaven, can they listen to the words of the first assistant?
So at this point, there is a way to make amends.
Take Yang Tinghe as an example, after he entered the Hanlin Academy, he participated in the revision of the "Ming Huidian" and "Xianzong Records", and after the book was completed, Zhu Youzhu took a fancy to his talent and asked him to serve as a lecturer for the crown prince Zhu Houzhao.
After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe, who was the emperor, quickly entered the cabinet and became a powerful figure who fought against Liu Jin.
It can be seen from this that the chairs of the cabinet are not only based on seniority, prestige, ability, and political achievements, but also on luck and relationships...... Zhu Houxi's throne descended from the sky, and naturally Hanlin did not run to the palace as a lecturer in advance.
So Yuan Zonggao picked up a big bargain.
Yang Tinghe can still accept this.
Zhu Houxi was even more ecstatic, he had already made a plan, and the next step would be to get the master into the cabinet, so that he would also be addicted to being a scholar!
However, before the teacher can be promoted, there is still someone to arrange.
Xiao Fugui can't be that poor servant from Jiupin anymore, he must be promoted!
Of course, Zhu Houxi didn't plan to directly promote Wang Yue to the first level of the Sixth Department and Jiuqing, just find a fifth-grade or seventh-grade official with real power, and find another opportunity to be promoted, anyway, he would not treat him badly.
"Elder Ge, my attendant Wang Yue is smart and alert, and his loyalty is commendable, and I have promised to reward him heavily."
Yang Tinghe's eyelids picked it slightly, and then echoed: "The old minister has also heard that Wang Yue is indeed a young talent, he serves His Majesty and does his best, he is definitely a young talent, and his future is limitless...... To tell the truth, the old minister had the name of a prodigy in his early years, but compared with the old minister and the king's attendant, it is like cloud mud! The old minister dared to say that His Majesty has to be read by the king, but he can be better than Liu Xianzhu Zhuge Wuhou! ”
Zhu Houxi was embarrassed to say this.
"The old man praised it, rich ...... Wang Shiyu is still a little out of the woods, not calm enough, and needs to be experienced. ”
Zhu Houxi was polite, how did he know that Yang Tinghe nodded immediately, and even stretched out his thumb, "Your Majesty is wise!" Good materials and beautiful jade still need to be carefully carved. This is especially true of Wang Yue. suddenly gave him an official position, not only could he not convince the public, but also helped the seedlings to grow, and the gains outweighed the losses...... For the sake of the future development of the king's servants, the old minister dared to suggest that he should choose a famous teacher to teach. Lao Chen believes that with the wisdom of the king's attendant, after a few years, he will inevitably win the title of the Toad Palace and the title of the gold list. When he has fame and fame, and His Majesty's appreciation, it will not take ten or eight years for him to enter the cabinet and become His Majesty's minister. ”
Zhu Houxi frowned, could it be that it would take so many years?
"Can't you go faster?"
Yang Tinghe explained with a smile: "The DPRK and China have always been cautious in employing people, and they have taken the liberty of overpromoting, which just makes people's hearts float and breaks the rules of selection. However, it is not without exceptions, such as Shang Wenyigong, after winning the top prize, within four years, he entered the cabinet to do things. When the old minister first saw the king reading today, he felt that the future was terrifying, the river was surging, and the back waves replaced the front waves, and in the snap of his fingers, His Majesty naturally had to see further, and it was good for the Wang to read it, and it was also good for His Majesty! ”
"Oh!"
Zhu Houxi snorted angrily, this sound is indeed no problem, it is for Wang Yue's consideration. Zhu Houxi didn't know how to refute for a while, so he could only bow his head and think, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
He suddenly remembered that Shang Wenyi Gong couldn't be the Shang Gong who his father had mentioned Sanyuan and Di many times, right?
So far, the three yuan and the first officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty have been discussed! And he also made history, that is, four years into the cabinet. Wenqu Star is just not ordinary! The protagonist's aura is so strong that he is blind, believe it or not, which protagonist of the traversal text, who has been in the cabinet for four years, will definitely be sprayed to the ground, so history is often more fantasy than fiction!
It's just that Shang Qian was able to enter the cabinet because of the change of Tumubao, a lot of old ministers who followed Yingzong died, the cabinet was empty, and the new monarch was in urgent need of help, so Shang Qian entered the cabinet to do things.
It is a special case within a special case, and it is impossible to replicate it at all.
Yang Tinghe took him as an example, isn't this fooling the child? Could it be that there will be a second civil fort in Daming? I don't want to be Yingzong.
And is the imperial examination really that easy? With the talent of wealth and wealth, three yuan and the first?
Dream on!
Unless I help him cheat.
No, even if I give him the title, this kid may not be able to write a good article that is best in the world. This is deceiving me! Zhu Houxi was furious, he saw Yang Tinghe's prime minister's bearing, and also understood the momentum of hundreds of officials.
If he was given a choice, he really didn't want to keep fighting.
But the problem is that he wants to promote two people, Yang Tinghe gives him a discount, and fools him, which is really too deceitful!
The anger of the young Son of Heaven was burning, and his gaze at Yang Tinghe had become sharp. Yang Tinghe, on the other hand, lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard it, Zhu Houxi clenched his fists and became more and more angry.
But at this moment, the car suddenly stopped, and after a short confrontation, Zhu Houxi seemed to have got a little something, but it was far from enough, this is Shoufu's ability? Zhu Houxi hesitated, while Yang Tinghe raised his head and smiled.
"Your Majesty, the car has arrived at the noon gate, it's time to take the next step."
After speaking, Yang Tinghe took the initiative to get out of the car, leaving only a back for Zhu Houxi. As if to say that the old man still has eighteen sets of skills waiting for him, today is just the first test of the knife, you wait and see!
This is my Cabinet Chief!
Zhu Houxi's little face was flushed with anger, and he learned another trick of a civil official. On the surface, it's all for your good, but in fact, a bottomless pit is dug waiting for you to jump in!
Zhu Houxi values Wang Yue as true, but what he wants is to let his little friend take power as soon as possible, so that he can help himself in all aspects. He needs people so much, immediately! Right away! Demand immediate action!
Under normal circumstances, don't think about entering the cabinet without ten years of work, even if you make a discount, Zhu Houxi can't afford to wait!
I can't be a person who doesn't believe in my word, the official position of the little rich and noble must be arranged! No bargaining.
Yang Tinghe, you old man, you dare to calculate!
Wrong!
It seems that along the way, he has not jumped out of his calculations.
I will not admit defeat, I will take revenge now!
Zhu Houxi was high-spirited, the more frustrated he became, the more courageous he became, and he didn't want to admit defeat at all. Coincidentally, Liang Chu, a university scholar, came to remind.
"Your Majesty, after paying homage to the Queen Mother, after a short rest, I will go to Fengtian Temple to succeed to the throne, and His Majesty's enthronement edict has been prepared. His Majesty has several important things to announce. Among them, next year's change of Yuan Shaozhi is the top priority, and it must be made clear in the enthronement edict. ”
Shaozhi?
The corners of Wang Yue's mouth, who had not squeaked, moved, it was not Jiajing! What a trap everywhere!
