373 [Step by step]

Zhu Houzhao said the lines according to the script: "Which Song girl?" ”

Wang Yuan knelt upright, held the wat board and said:

"Your Majesty Qiqi is the daughter of the late Song Ran, the right consolation envoy of Guizhou. When the minister was young, his family was poor, but fortunately he was favored by the Song family and sponsored the minister to study. This time, the BMW that rescued the driver was also a gift from the Song family. ”

"In the past, my teacher Shouren Gong was demoted to Longchangyi, and I studied with the Song family in the mountains, not only childhood sweethearts, but also classmates."

"The Song family is loyal, in order to escape marriage, she followed Shouren Gong to Jiangxi for thousands of miles, and then came to the capital. The daughter of the Song family once swore that she would not marry if she was a minister, but now she is twenty years old and still alone. ”

"The daughter of the Song family is very affectionate, and it is difficult to repay the minister in this life, I am willing to give up the reward, and ask Your Majesty to give the Song daughter the status of equal wife."

Zhu Houzhao looked suddenly enlightened, slapped his thigh and said, "It's that Song Ling'er, I have also seen it, and I also made her a brocade guard." I heard that the Miao people in Guizhou rebelled, and the Song daughter also made great contributions, and once appeased thousands of rebellious people in the first war. Erlang and the Song family are in love, this is a good story in the world, how can I be a villain in vain? That's it! ”

The two monarchs and ministers, singing and harmonizing, listened to the hundred officials stunned.

At the same time, Qingliu also breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Wang Erlang automatically gave up the reward.

As for having an affair with the daughter of Toast?

Compared with the merit of saving and protecting the country, and compared with Wang Yuan's direct entry into the cabinet, they are all trivial things that are not enough to worry about. As long as the marriage is given, Song Ling'er's position as a brocade guard is withdrawn and her direct contact with the Song clan in Shuidong is cut off.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Wang Yuan secretly, with a little gratitude in his eyes.

If Wang Yuan really enters the cabinet, with Yang Tinghe's repeated actions, he will be despised and laughed at by hundreds of officials. The civil officials can't hate the emperor, and they can't hate Wang Yuan, the party, so they can only transfer their resentment to the head of the cabinet.

Yang Tinghe really has no choice, because he committed the great crime of robbing his family and exterminating the family!

"Wang Yuan listens to the seal!"

Zhu Houzhao was breaking the rules again, not greeting the cabinet, the six departments, and the six departments, and directly announcing the minister's reward in the court: "Wang Yuan, the right attendant of the promotion department, is the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and the Zhan affairs of the Zhan Shifu ......"

It is a little different from the plan negotiated by the cabinet, and there is no false title of Hanlin Scholar - this is very important, because Hanlin Bachelor can also enter the cabinet, which means that Wang Yuan is not given any qualifications to enter the cabinet.

In addition, the civil official rank was not promoted to the second rank, and Wang Yuan's ancestors were not posthumously sealed. only sealed Wang Yuan's parents, wives and concubines, and eldest brother, and even Wang Yuan's nephew was not taken care of.

However, Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Yuan to directly take charge of the Zhan Mansion as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. This is the exclusive institution for educating the prince, although there has long been an empty shelf, but it still shows Zhu Houzhao's strong attitude.

In the future, Wang Yuan's official positions and ranks are as follows-

The Rite Department Zuo Shilang (Zheng Sanpin), Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi (Zheng Sanpin), Hanlin Academy Attendant Bachelor (from the fifth grade), Jiayi Doctor (Zheng Sanpin Sanjie), Zizhi Yin (Zheng Sanpin Wenxun).

Wang Yuan said that he voluntarily gave up the reward, but how could the court not give it at all?

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao's reward plan made many ministers uncomfortable like flies.

The cabinet thought that Wang Yuan's credit was too great, so he directly gave it to the officials or the military department. Zhu Houzhao let Wang Yuan serve as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, which was equivalent to a downgrade in essence, and the civil officials not only could not refute it, but also felt that it seemed that it was too little. In this way, Wang Yuan's criticism of being a young man was quelled.

However, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Zhan Shifu was logical, and let Wang Yuan sit in the position of the prince's first teacher.

The actual reward is not thick, and the symbolic meaning is huge!

Zhu Houzhao ordered with satisfaction: "The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites will draft the documents for the reward, and submit them to the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Rites for review, and I will see the cabinet within three days." Can it be done? ”

The leaders of the Clerk Branch and the Rite Branch subconsciously looked at Yang Tinghe, but did not get any response.

Lu Wan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Xunxue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, both came out and said: "The minister's decree." ”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly said again: "Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department; Turn the left capital of the imperial history Peng Ze, for the left capital of the Nanjing Imperial Palace; Chen Ke, who was transferred to Dali Temple, was the secretary of Dali Temple in Nanjing. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and its sensational effect was not lost to Wang Yuan to enter the cabinet.

The emperor actually threw all the chief officials of the three law divisions to Nanjing for retirement in one day.

"Your Majesty think twice!"

This time, more than ninety percent of the civil officials knelt down and begged the emperor to withdraw the order.

Zhu Houzhao asked Yang Tinghe: "Elder Yang Ge, what do you think?" ”

Yang Tinghe stubbornly said: "Minister, there is no objection. ”

Yang Tinghe had already guessed what the situation was, the previous sealed complaint had already been handed to the emperor, but the three central law divisions still did not know that King Ning was going to rebel. The news of King Ning's rebellion must have been suppressed by the officials of the Three Law Divisions, and the emperor was extremely angry.

Yang Tinghe could only agree to these troop transfers, and he didn't dare to say it clearly.

Once it is said and seriously investigated, the Yang family can be beheaded all over the house!

Zhang Zilin, Peng Ze, and Chen Ke are collectively in a state of confusion at the moment. What about the promised reward Wang Yuan? It's about us, and we were thrown to Nanjing for the elderly for some reason.

Liang Chu said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Jiwu (Peng Ze), Yuan Rui (Zhang Zilin), and Xibai (Chen Ke) are all important ministers, and they have all expectations. There is nothing wrong with the three of them, why did they want to move to Nanjing together? Even if His Majesty is arbitrary, at least a reasonable reason should be given! ”

Zhang Zilin and Peng Ze are both Yang Tinghe's henchmen, while Chen Ke was promoted by Liang Chu.

Zhu Houzhao asked Yang Tinghe again: "Elder Yang Ge, do you think my arrangement is reasonable?" ”

Yang Tinghe stubbornly said: "This matter is reasonable. ”

"Brother Jiefu, what's wrong with you today?" Liang is so angry that he can't do it.

Yang Tinghe looked pained: "Uncle Hou, don't ask again." ”

This matter is too serious, and there are too many officials involved. It is one thing for the law not to hold the people accountable, and it is another thing to conspire against the great rebellion. Zhu Houzhao has enough reasons to investigate to the end, and even if tens of thousands of people are killed in Xingda Prison, and half of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military personnel are thrown into Jinyiwei Prison, there will definitely be fish that have slipped through the net.

Zhu Houzhao said again: "Li Chonghei, the governor of the right capital, Nan Zhili; Lingyou Yu Shi Wei Ying, Governor Huguang. Elder Yang Ge, do you think this arrangement is reasonable? ”

This is the emperor guarding against King Ning's rebellion and blocking King Ning's offensive route.

Yang Tinghe replied like a marionette: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Wang Yuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, after the minister invited the Lantern Festival, he took leave and returned to his hometown to marry the daughter of the Song family." ”

"Accurate!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

This is also a discussion between the monarch and the minister, the emperor not only has to deal with the chief of the three law divisions, but also has to deal with the celebrant and the imperial house. These two departments, if one of them does not cooperate, the Ning Wang Guards will not be able to recover.

At the same time, he also has to deal with Qian Ning, the Jinyi Guard, because Qian Ning will inevitably collude with King Ning. There is no need to investigate, King Ning bribed officials in the capital, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard actually ignored it!

In the past, most of these actions would arouse King Ning's suspicions, which would lead to King Ning's rebellion in advance.

Zhu Houzhao sent Li Chongsi to the governor Nan Zhili, Wei Ying to the governor Huguang, and Wang Yangming in Jiangxi, which was equivalent to blocking the Ning Wang Tuantuan. Wang Yuan went home again to marry Song Ling'er, and after visiting the church, he secretly went to Huguang, just waiting for King Ning to come and die.

Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yuan never thought of sending someone to investigate King Ning, nor did they think about solving it without blood.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to block King Ning, and then drive the expedition in person. Wang Yuan thinks that the investigation is useless, and King Ning will rebel, how can he be bound after so many years of preparation?

Zhu Houzhao also said: "Yan Song, the right-hand politician, has made meritorious contributions this time and has been promoted to the left-hand politician. ”

Is the right political meritorious?

Right Tongzheng is a person who accepts the recital, and he has no right to dispose of the recital, so what kind of merit does he make for no reason?

Those who are active have already guessed that there must be a big case. And it must be Yan Song, the right collaborator, who received a sealed complaint from an official and sent it to the emperor, which caused Long Yan to be furious.

Thinking of the arrangement of Nanzhili and Huguang, as well as Yang Tinghe's resignation, the spearhead of this matter is directed at Jiangxi.

Many officials who had received bribes from King Ning turned pale for a while, and the turtle grandson really wanted to rebel!

There are many officials who have seen through the truth, but no one dares to tell the truth about it, and only prays that the emperor will not investigate to the end.

Zhu Houzhao said: "This transfer has involved many officials, and some positions have also been vacated. Retreat! ”

It is not the choice of cabinet ministers to be promoted, important official positions can be promoted, and depending on the situation, the officials participating in the court promotion are also different. For example, if the secretary of the criminal department is a candidate, the secretary of the ministry can convene the officials of the department, the criminal department, and the criminal department to be elected together. Another example is the local governor, the secretary of the ministry can convene the officials of the military department, the military department, and the metropolitan governor's office to elect together.

Zhu Houzhao strode out of the main hall, and the civil and military officials all looked at each other, and they were all ready to go back to discuss today's court meeting - the amount of information was too large, and they had to digest it.
