Chapter 102: The Current Situation of the Six Parts

Cabinet ministers don't need to talk about it for the time being.

Yang Pu, Cao Nai, Zhang Fu, Hu Hu, Wang Zhi, Ma Yu. plus a Yu Qian who has a title outside.

After all, the cabinet has the rank of university scholar.

There are generally six Daming University Fellowship titles. That is, the Scholar of the Huagai Palace, the Scholar of the Jinshen Temple, the Scholar of the Mandarin Palace, the Scholar of the Wuying Palace, the Scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Scholar of the East Pavilion.

Now there are seven people in the cabinet, naturally because there is one person in the cabinet who does not have the rank of university scholar.

It's none other than Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu was in the Cabinet, but in fact he was consulted in the capacity of the British Minister.

The cabinet has just been adjusted, Zhu Qizhen doesn't have to worry much, the only thing he can worry about is whether to give Yu Qian the title of a university scholar, and if so, what to give the title.

The scholar of Huagai Hall is Yang Shiqi, and the scholar of Jinshen Hall is Yang Pu, and the rest correspond to each other. There is no extra one.

As for Yang Shiqi, although he is already in the situation of stepping down. But Zhu Qizhen can't not give any dignity, so this Huagai Hall scholar still has to hang on Yang Shiqi.

It wasn't until Yang Shiqi completed the resignation procedures, that is, after three or four resignations, that Zhu Qizhen reluctantly agreed.

It's all trifle, though.

The real big thing is six.

Guo Jin, the secretary of the ministry, must not stay.

Not why?

Because the ministry is too important. And Guo Jin is Yang Shiqi's person. The qualifications are old.

You must know that the political ecology of the current imperial court, which is respected by the cabinet, is not continuous, it can be said that it was forged because of the Empress Dowager and Zhu Qizhen.

During the Xuande period, although Yang Shiqi was the first assistant of the cabinet, he also had the title of Shangshu, and respected it, thinking that a Shangshu was higher than that of the cabinet scholars.

After all, the university scholar is only five grades.

But because Emperor Xuanzong died young. The Empress Dowager relied on the five auxiliary ministers, that is, the five members of the cabinet.

In this way, the Cabinet's superiority over the six ministries was established.

But it's just an advantage.

After Zhu Qizhen became pro-government, sorting out the process of handling government affairs established the status of the cabinet to a certain extent. The Cabinet of Ministers has also established its leadership over the six ministries.

However, this kind of leadership is not stable, to a large extent, it is based on Yang Shiqi's prestige, and the six Shangshu cannot fight against Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu, not against the first assistant of the cabinet.

Among the six ministries, the most powerful is the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials. This is a well-played position that can shake the cabinet. In addition, Guo Jinnai is Yang Shiqi's person, Yang Shiqi stepped down, and he is enough to divide a lifetime in Yang Shiqi's forces.

If the six ministries are allowed to form a core with the Ministry of Officials, then the operation of the imperial court will definitely be affected. And in this way, Cao Nai's authority will also be affected. After all, Cao Nai's qualifications are better than Guo's

It's too shallow.

Zhu Qizhen made up his mind, and immediately asked people to bring over the impeachment of Guo Jin, are there four or five letters, Zhu Qizhen has seen them one by one, and the others are all trivial things. However, one of them impeached Guo Jin's son, Guo Liang accepted bribes.

Zhu Qizhen drew a pen on it, marked this line, and wrote on the side: "The godson is not strict, so the cabinet reprimands." ”

Zhu Qizhen knew what Yang Pu would do when he saw this line of words.

Reprimand is just the beginning.

If Guo Jin is interested, he will be able to raise his life early, after all, he is old, and he has been tossing and turning among the six parts in Yongle.

There is no merit and hard work.

In short, there is still dignity in stepping down obediently.

Otherwise, Zhu Qizhen would not have made a move, and Yang Pu would have been enough to get him out of power.

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen looked at the other ministries, and Liu Zhongfu, the secretary of the household department, asked the empress dowager to make a statement, after all, he was the empress dowager's housekeeper.

If you don't look at the monk's face, you should also look at the Buddha's face.

However, Zhu Qizhen also admitted that in the face of him, a big-spending emperor, Liu Zhongshiki, who can only live within his means and live a careful life, can't keep up with the times.

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen also looked at the impeachment of Liu Zhongfu, but found that Liu Zhongfu, an old minister, was cautious, at least he was not caught.

Most of them are incompetent and ineffective in disaster relief.

After all, last year's disaster relief, the food dispatch of the household department, it is difficult to say that there are no problems.

But Zhu Qizhen also knew that if someone else became the head of the household department, it would be like this, and it would be impossible to be better. Zhu Qizhen said secretly: "I must give the Empress Dowager a face." Immediately, the impeachment of Liu Zhongfu was dotted with a red dot.

That is, got it.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households must be removed. In addition, Zhu Qizhen has no one who must be replaced.

First of all, the Ministry of Rites is Hu Hui's territory, and Wang Shijia, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been Hu Hui's deputy for many years, so it can be said that only Hu Hu is the first to look forward. If Zhu Qizhen didn't want to move Hu Hu, he wouldn't move Wang Shijia.

As for the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Qizhen has already started, and the two Shangshu are not Zhu Qizhen's arms. Everything in the Ministry of Industry is for the sake of Zhili to control the water.

Therefore, instead of being able to move, it must be preserved.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen refuted all the twists and turns about the Ministry of Industry and expressed his attitude.

As for the Criminal Department, the Military Department. Zhu Qizhen didn't care, he just ordered someone to investigate, if it was true, he would deal with it, and if it was a false accusation, then he would not sit back.

These two parts are not the focus of Zhu Qizhen. After all, the existence of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies divided a lot of power in the military department, especially the death of Yang Rong and Wang Ji's transfer.

I don't know how much the affairs of the military department have been reduced all of a sudden, and the chai chariot is just an old official, and he is much worse than Wang Ji. It would be good to be able to maintain the power of the military department and not be embezzled by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

Penal Department

Regarding the dignity of the law in the Ming Dynasty, it is very important to say in peacetime, but now internal and external troubles, whether it is the drought that comes again, or the border troubles led by the tile spur, it is not the time for Zhu Qizhen to carefully sort out the law.

As for the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Zhu Qizhen looked at Liu Qiu's name, and secretly felt angry in his heart, but he knew that Liu Qiu couldn't move at the moment.

In Zhu Qizhen's position, he may feel that Liu Qiu does not understand the overall situation, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate is doing this, and Liu Qiu dares to impeach Shoufu, and his courage is commendable.

And Yang Shiqi is on vacation now.

But anyone can see that this is the prelude to the resignation. Since Yang Shiqi has come down from the position of first assistant, doesn't it mean that Liu Qiu is right.

If you don't add a reward, you will dispose of it, if you encourage the ministers who dare to admonish.

But Zhu Qizhen really didn't have a big deal with Liu Qiu, who caused him a lot of trouble. Therefore, Zhu Qizhen will not dispose of him, but if he wants to add a prize, it is unlikely.

Zhu Qi moved two Shangshu.

But don't look at it, just two Shangshu, in fact, it is already a big earthquake.

After all, all the ministers who can stand in front of Zhu Qizhen are not alone. All kinds of relationships behind him are intertwined, so the two of them stepped down, and I don't know how many of them are connected later.

It's just a matter of these details. Zhu Qizhen didn't interfere much. First, he actually didn't understand the various relationship conflicts between Wenchen and Chen.

Second, if he is inspected by officials, he doesn't have to do anything else.

It's just that deciding who to remove is very simple, but when it comes to choosing who should serve as the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the household, Zhu Qizhen has a difficult decision.

Zhu Qizhen first looked at the squire of the two parts.

After all, the first thing he thought of was to take over.

The left waiter of the household department is Wang Zuo.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Wang Zuo's resume, but he was also a cadre and an old minister. He is fifty and six, and he has been in the household department all the year round, and he has also served as a foreign official, but most of them are about money and food.

For example, he supervised the grain road in Gansu, took charge of Tongzhou Cang, ran Changlu salt affairs, and fought with Pingjiang Bo Chen Xuan on Caoyun, and finally was able to suppress Pingjiang Bo. It can be seen that it can be.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen always feels a little worse.

Almost that, Zhu Qizhen couldn't say clearly for a while. Zhu Qizhen thought about it for a while, and then suddenly understood, that is, how much worse is Liu Zhongfu than Wang Zuo?

Not much worse.

Liu Zhongshiki is an old minister, and when he was in trouble, he supported the grain and grass for the army. Out of the town in Shandong, Jiangxi, if you look at the resume, Liu Zhongfu is better than Wang Zuo I don't know how much.

If Wang Zuo replaces Liu Zhongshiki, then what is the significance of Zhu Qizhen's adjustment this time?

There is something that Liu Zhongfu can't do, but Wang Zuo can do.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, no.

Wang Zuo's advantage over Liu Zhongfu is that only he is younger than Liu Zhongfu. But this is not a reason to replace Liu Zhongfu with Wang Zuo.
