Chapter 15: The Four King Kongs of the New King

"From the perspective of the old minister, although Yang Ge Lao was temporarily frustrated, he would not let it go easily. In the days to come, there will be some fighting! Yuan Zonggao's face was grim.

The old man has understood everything, from the gift of the prince, to the arrangement of the year name, to the empress dowager Zhang...... This is a whole set of plans, and there is nothing to follow, not the slightest doubt about the resilience of the civilian officials. Even if Emperor Yongle is such a strong emperor, he can't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of civil officials, so he sent the big fat man Zhu Gaochi to the dragon chair.

With the sages as an example, how could Yang Tinghe be willing to give up? Coincidentally, the three pavilion elders, like Yang Tinghe, are all surnamed Yang.

It seems that there is a certain number in this darkness!

"Your Majesty, although the old minister serves in the Ministry of Rites, it is very difficult to get the old minister to help."

Yuan Zonggao was direct and frank, after all, he was a foreign official who suddenly entered Beijing and had no foundation.

Moreover, the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, if it is said to be further, he can enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. But the problem is that it takes time, and before entering the cabinet, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is dispensable, almost just a decoration, and the real power is very limited.

If it weren't for this, Yang Tinghe would not easily give the official position to the old man, and the people would be clear.

Of course, Yuan Zonggao is not useless, after all, he is the first person under Zhu Houxi, with him in control, the cabinet and the six ministries can't bully Zhu Houyu casually, at least there is someone who can speak for the Son of Heaven.

But if you want to rely on the old man alone to turn things around, it is impossible, after all, he is almost seventy years old, and his energy is limited, so he really doesn't have that mental strength.

"Your Majesty, let the old minister say that the king's reading is the key to breaking the situation, as long as he is arranged, it will be a sharp blade, straight into the vital point, attack it unprepared, and the divine soldiers will descend from the sky and turn the tide......"

"Stop!"

Wang Yue couldn't listen anymore, "Sir, don't pour ecstasy soup when you are old, the disciple can't stand it." ”

Yuan Zonggao laughed, "Don't be modest, you kid, the old man remembers, when you are outside the city, you can find out the name of Jiajing by reading the classics casually, you kid is extraordinary!" ”

It turned out that when Wang Yue was outside the city, he recalled the process of the Great Rites Discussion and had already thought of all the obvious pitfalls. Naturally, the year name will not be let go.

He knew the word Jiajing, and then went through the classics to find the source, which was naturally easy.

After all, the original Xiaofugui has also read for a few days, and he can be a waiter, so he is naturally not a waste of snacks, although the ink is limited!

But in Yuan Zonggao's view, Wang Yue casually rummaged through the books and found the appropriate era name, the word Jiajing, which has the meaning of eliminating maladministration, and the experience of Wuding folk is inexplicably consistent with Zhu Houxi.

can take care of both parties, and catchy, in Yuan Zonggao's opinion, even if Wang Yue is not a prodigy, he is also a top smart person. Heaven bless.

If he hadn't fallen into the whirlpool of the court, he would have studied honestly for a few years, and he might have been able to win the Toad Palace and get a jinshi out.

But now, Yuan Zonggao doesn't think that Wang Yue can still take the road of the imperial examination.

He has become a person who has offended too many people...... In fact, not only Wang Yue, including him, his former colleagues all sent him letters, ostensibly congratulating, but secretly persuading Yuan Zonggao to let him send a letter to Jun Yaoshun!

The meaning of these people couldn't be clearer, as long as the old man continues to walk, he will definitely be despised by the literati.

He's almost seventy and doesn't care.

In order to repay the kindness of King Xing, he will not regret his death.

But the Son of Heaven is only fifteen years old, and Wang Yue is even younger than him, how will he go in the future?

Yuan Zonggao shook his head, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he could only try his best to do a good job in the moment and master enough strength, he, Wang Yue, Zhu Houxi...... They are tied together!

"Wang Yue, after thinking about it, I plan to let you enter the General Administration Department and serve as the Wupin Right Senator, can you understand the old man's intentions?"

Yuan Zonggao said his answer, but before Wang Yue could speak, Zhu Houxi was already stunned!

What an idea the teacher came up with!

is also a five-grade official, and the difference is also very huge.

Among them, the most noble is the Hanlin Bachelor, the Hanlin Bachelor is the head of the Hanlin Academy, and there are a bunch of promising Hanlin below, with their help, it is only a matter of time before they enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister.

Lang Zhong of the other six departments is also in a position of real power.

If he is assigned to the Literature and Anthology Department of the Ministry of Officials, it will be a promotion of officials in the world. Although the authority of the Ministry of Officials is greater, but the adults are in charge of major affairs, and they can't do everything, and those inconspicuous positions are the responsibility of the Anthology Division.

To put it bluntly, some people are even willing to exchange the squire for the governor!

Zhu Houxi wants to reward Wang Yue, these positions are really possible to throw out, anyway, the grade is not high, and if the six cabinet departments dare to stop him, he will dare to flip the table.

The new monarch has just ascended the throne, what happened to using a few of his own people?

Zhu Houxi is straightforward.

It's just that I never expected that the teacher would want to stuff Wang Yue to the General Administration, which is too nonsense!

What does the Department of Communications do?

It is to send the affection to the top, and to send the affection to the ...... After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, the official documents were handed over to the General Administration Department to be responsible. And the general envoy also became one of the Great Nine Secretaries.

However, with the establishment of the cabinet, all kinds of official documents have passed through the cabinet, and the general government has become dispensable, and has completely become a follower of the cabinet.

If this is the case for the general political envoys, wouldn't the Senate be even more useless?

Zhu Houxi can't understand the teacher's thinking, isn't it true that the bigger the official, the greater the power, the more beneficial it is to himself?

Wang Yue pondered for a moment, he believed that the old fox's arrangement was absolutely reasonable, and he had gradually grasped the old man's thoughts.

"Sir, are you going to let me find out the pulse of the imperial court first?"

"Hahaha!"

In a word, Yuan Zonggao couldn't help laughing, "Okay, little rich!" Your brain power is really not weak. With you assisting Your Majesty, even if the old man dies, he can rest assured. ”

Yuan Zonggao turned his head, "Your Majesty, the official position is there, whether to be promoted or deposed, it is all up to Your Majesty." And His Majesty's priority is not to grab positions and seize power. ”

Zhu Houxi wrinkled his brows and said, "Then, what else is there?" ”

"Safety!"

Yuan Zonggao slowly spit out these two words.

Zhu Houxi was shocked! There was a look of horror in his eyes.

Indeed, Zhu Houzhao's coffin is still there, and he is not buried!

He had just sat on the dragon chair, and if he didn't even have basic safety, how could he use his strengths?

Yuan Zonggao served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and participated in the government to avoid Zhu Houxi being deceived.

Wang Yue went to the General Administration Department, although he did not have any power, but the General Administration Department had the records of the correspondence of official documents, as well as copies of the records and other things.

As long as you can pinch it in your hand, you can know the situation in the middle of the court, and you can see the fire clearly, at least you can't be blind.

"Your Majesty, in addition, the old minister also suggested that Your Majesty must arrange a few protective people around him, and the palace must not be relaxed!"

When Zhu Houxi heard this, the joy of ascending the throne disappeared, it is not difficult to sit on the dragon chair, but it is the most difficult to sit firmly on the dragon chair!

On the second day of the new king's accession to the throne, the three wills came down.

"Yuan Zonggao, the former Jiangxi envoy, was transferred to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he is also a bachelor of Hanlin."

"Wang Yue, the former Xing Palace, was promoted to the right senator of the General Political Department."

"Lu Bing, the guard of the Yuanxing Palace, was promoted to the rank of Jinyi Guard, and he was escorted by the emperor."

In addition to these three people, there is another person who has been reused by Zhu Houxi, that is the chubby little eunuch Huang Jin, he turned out to be Zhu Houxi's companion, pay attention, it is a companion, not an attendant.

Serving reading also means serving reading, while accompanying reading is purely the role of a scholar.

This time, Zhu Houxi directly asked him to serve as the imperial eunuch!

The manufacture of all kinds of utensils in the palace, and the utensils that the new monarch needs to add, are all under the control of Huang Jin. Therefore, in some palace fighting dramas, it is almost impossible to poison and drug the concubine casually, and even the emperor will be calculated.

Along with the will, the four great kings of the new monarch came out together, but the hundred officials in the court and the central government were ...... for these three and a half people It's really hard to lift your spirits, a bad old man, two hairy boys, and a little eunuch who doesn't even have hair, what can they do?
