Chapter 398: Powerful Ministers or Loyal Ministers
Nine mansions and eight guards, about 100,000 troops, according to such a force, although the progress is insufficient, self-defense is enough.
Now that the Nine Prefectures have been restored, everything is waiting to be prospered, and the recklessness of the capital is a sign of the country's demise, coupled with the armistice agreement with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, most people have the intention of slackness, and Wu Zheng cannot influence the meaning of the literati collective, so he can only give up.
Of course, the financial embarrassment of the imperial court and the overwhelming of more troops were also the main reason why Wu Zheng no longer insisted.
The benevolence of the king of Xingguo, the harvest is also abundant, he is awarded the position of the prince of the country, was awarded the Shaobao, this is the honor of the three orphans of the Ming Dynasty, it can be described as illustrious, glorious to the extreme. None of the 20,000 people in the two naval divisions under his command was reduced or transferred, and they were all under his command, which was also a fulfillment of his wishes, but his 5,000 infantry (originally more than 8,000 people, nearly half of which was lost when he recovered Yingtianfu) was assigned to the forbidden army, which was his most depressed place, but fortunately it was still within the range he could accept.
The uncles and nephews of the Qian family were no exception, they were respectively awarded the command of the Jingwei Commander and the commander of the Jingwei Tongzhi, commanding one battalion of Jingwei and the other battalion under the command of Liao Zhongping. This is tantamount to transferring the two out of Wu Zheng's command and officially transferring them to the forbidden army.
Xia Wanchun was awarded the title of Lin'anbo, and with more than 10,000 righteous troops, he was reorganized into the Ming army sequence and stationed in Jianyangwei (Taiping Mansion), called the Jianyang Army.
Qian Sule and Chen Zilong were awarded the young master and young master respectively, and the benevolence of the prince of Xingguo was called the "three orphans", and at the same time they led the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites respectively.
Zhang Huangyan was a scholar of Wenhuadian University and was still in charge of the historical platform.
Xiong Rulin is still in charge of the military department.
Xu Fuyuan and Song Zhengyu were in charge of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry respectively.
In this way, a new team of the imperial court was soon established.
A clear-eyed person saw that most of the six divisions of Mingtang were occupied by Qingliu, and Wu Zheng naturally understood.
However, for Wu Zheng, this is no longer important, strength is always the first.
has enough strength to reorganize the court at any time, and Wu Zheng's purpose is not here, but the cabinet that is about to be formed.
Only the indispensable candidate for the household department was put aside by Wu Zheng, and only the left and right attendants of the household department acted on his behalf.
Although Qian Sule, Chen Zilong and others felt that it was inappropriate, they felt that it was still acceptable for Wu Zheng's previous concessions.
The essence of politics has always been compromise.
As a result, all the ritual procedures of the pilgrimage meeting were completed very smoothly on this day.
Zhu Yujiao, the supervisor of the state, entered the palace city, and the hundred officials retreated, waiting for the next day's cabinet to be formed.
And this must be a big court meeting that has attracted at least a thousand people.
Because according to Wu Zheng's proposal, Qian Sule, Chen Zilong, and Wang Zhiren have no objection to entering the cabinet, and who Wu Zheng nominates has not yet been made public.
Tonight, Xingtianfu has no sleep.
……。
The spring and hall are located in the northeast of Miyagi.
It should be the residence of the prince of the East Palace.
After all, Zhu Yujiao did not dare to enter the Qianqing Gate and really entered the Forbidden Garden.
Choosing the Spring and Palace, she also thought about it.
According to her identity as the princess of Da Ming, it is only right to stay in the Rouyi Palace, but she is the supervisor of the country, and staying in the Rouyi Palace seems to be a little angry.
But in Zhu Yujiao's heart, she didn't dare to collide with her father's spirit in the sky, after all, she was only in charge of the country, not on the throne as the emperor.
Therefore, choosing Chunhe Hall as a residence, this is Zhu Yujiao's choice after weighing the pros and cons.
And no one will refuse or object to this.
Wu Zheng is now in the side hall of the Chunhe Palace.
Looking at Zhu Yujiao, who had taken off the crown and returned to a petite girl, Wu Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter who it was, wearing that crown, it would be like a king.
Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Simin beside Zhu Yujiao looked at Wu Zheng with a smile, and the smile was bright.
Zhu Yujiao said with a false hand: "Zhenguo Gong, sit down and talk." ”
"Your Highness." Wu Zheng was not polite, and sat down tightly, which was obviously unruly, and the minister was right in front of the king, and he had to sit on half of his ass to show respect.
Wu Zheng obviously didn't treat himself as a minister, and Uncle Zheng coughed heavily on the side.
Wu Zheng turned his head in astonishment, looked at Uncle Zheng and said, "The weather is starting to get cold, Uncle Zheng has to be careful of his body and bones, he didn't catch a cold, and then he infected His Highness." ”
Uncle Zheng's old face tightened, and he replied in a polite and sharp tone: "The old slave knows that his identity is humble, how can he let the illness be contaminated to His Highness, if he is really infected with the cold, the old slave should retreat three miles away." In addition, the old slave never dared to be called Uncle Zheng by the Duke of Zhenguo again, and asked the Duke of Zhenguo to call the old slave by his name. ”
Wu Zheng hehe, "That's right, after all, it's in the palace, they all say that the prime minister's concierge is a third-grade official, not to mention that His Royal Highness is the eunuch, it seems that the lower officials can't climb high...... It's okay, it's less polite to call your name after all, but you don't have an official character now, otherwise, you are older after all, so I'll call you Lao Zheng, how about it? ”
Uncle Zheng was dumbfounded and stammered for a while.
The three women on the side saw the two bickering, and they didn't stop it, and they couldn't hold back their "fluttering" sound at this time.
No one thinks that this is a collision of identities, but the love of life and death shared by these people for more than two years.
Perhaps only Uncle Zheng would pay attention to whether Wu Zheng's sitting style was in line with the courtesy at such a time.
Seeing Uncle Zheng's embarrassment, Zhu Yujiao waved her hand compassionately and said, "Uncle Zheng, let's go down and prepare some food, and the Zhenguo Guild will eat in the palace at noon." ”
Uncle Zheng hurriedly said: "The old slave obeys. ”
Watching Uncle Zheng retreat, Wu Zhengzheng said: "This time is different from the past, His Highness is too indulgent to him. Sometimes His Majesty is too lenient, and it hurts them. ”
Zhu Yujiao smiled narrowly, "Zhenguo Gong's words are reasonable, and this palace should be obedient, but this palace is wondering, is it too lenient to Zhenguo Gong?" ”
Wu Zheng didn't expect Zhu Yujiao to be so angry with herself, her old face turned red, and she was greatly embarrassed.
To tell the truth, what Wu Zheng has done in the past two years, if compared to the troubled times before, should be classified as loyal ministers. But if it is according to the etiquette of the peaceful and prosperous times, it is indeed the category of the powerful ministers.
Fortunately, Wu Xiaomei felt sorry for her brother after all, so she hurriedly said: "My brother is loyal to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is not too lenient." ”
Zhu Yujiao and Wu Zheng looked at each other and smiled, I am afraid that only the two of them know it in their hearts.
Wu Zheng diverted the topic and said: "Now that His Royal Highness has entered the main palace, it is time for the concubine and the sister to leave the palace." ”
Zhu Yujiao was stunned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, the town of Guogong must not have prepared the Guogong Mansion yet...... Or, let the two sisters stay with the palace for a few more days? ”
Wu Zheng was a little annoyed when he heard this, why, do you still want to take the two of you hostage? So he replied coldly: "Back to His Royal Highness, Xingguo Gong has a heart, and he has found a house for me not far from the imperial city in the west of the city, and I heard that it is quite spacious." ”
