Chapter 264: Propaganda Department
Although some of the ideas of this scholar were not very approved by Emperor Hongzhi, they were no longer involved with a certain person in the court, and naturally they would no longer form a secret net with those ministers in the court.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly, did not give a single glance at the scholar's answer, and replied: "I am looking forward to meeting you in the Wenhua Palace, I hope you can live up to my expectations, and work hard." ”
As the last pass of the imperial examination, the Wenhua Hall is no longer eliminated, there is only a ranking, and anyone who can enter the Wenhua Hall can basically be an official.
Coming out of the Two Wolf Mountain Academy, the places that should be visited in the Two Wolf Mountains can be regarded as all visited.
Emperor Hongzhi did not stop any longer, and directly issued an order to set off for Beijing.
There are still a lot of things to deal with in Beijing, and it is really not appropriate to stay here any longer.
Those ministers who rested overnight in the county government can be regarded as relieved, and they can get into the carriage without the special care of those captains of the Jinyi Guard.
On the way back, Xie Zhi, Zhu Houzhao and Zhou Xian were still riding horses outside.
didn't stop all the way, and rushed back to Beijing directly.
As soon as he arrived in Beijing, the ministers who followed him out chased Emperor Hongzhi to the warm pavilion.
"Your Majesty, that troupe in the clouds is really not easy to advocate, so where is the royal majesty?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it should be abolished immediately, otherwise the royal face will be ruined."
"The person who made this troupe should be punished."
A few people chattered, and at the beginning, they just persuaded Emperor Hongzhi not to promote it, and when it came to the back, it directly began to rise above Xie Zhi's attack.
Although Xie Qian sat in the first place in the front, he neither refuted this matter, nor did he say a good word for Xie Zhi.
After the ministers spoke for a long time, someone began to speak to Xie Qian, and said: "Gong Xie, Ling Lang is really meritorious in the matter of Renyunzhong Zhixian and Pingwei, but in some things, not only is he very wrong, but also his vanity is great, isn't the original intention of this troupe to promote his merits?" It's just a matter of publicizing his exploits, but where did he put the royal majesty? His Majesty has promoted him many times, and he is worthy of His Majesty by doing so, this is a great disloyalty, Ling Lang is still young, and Gong Xie should be a good student and discipline. ”
Such a big hat was directly buckled on Xie Zhi's head, and there were actually very few scenes about him in last night's stage play, most of which were in praise of Zhu Houzhao.
Accuse him with a clear conscience, just accuse him directly, why bother looking for his father?
Before Xie Qian could say anything, Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and said, "I don't understand, how did that stage play become a certain vanity, isn't it a fact?" How can it be wrong to describe what happened normally? Besides, isn't the central idea expressed in the stage play not that Your Majesty loves the people like a son, protects the people, and Your Highness is wise and martial? How can you not understand such a simple play? ”
The ministers who can achieve the ministry level are at least about the same age as Xie Qian, and Xie Qian has been an official in the same dynasty as these ministers for many years, and they are all Xie Zhi's elders.
Without Xie Qian, maybe you don't have to worry about this matter, in front of Xie Qian, you have to pay attention to it.
Before Xie Zhi's words fell, Xie Qian reprimanded: "Shut up." ”
Xie Zhi was only aggrieved, and said pitifully: "What my son said is the truth." ”
The truth is indeed the truth, but the occasion and the person to whom it is spoken are a little inappropriate.
Those who should have put forward rebuttal opinions have also been raised, and the mainstream ideas among the ministers Emperor Hongzhi are already clear, and there is no need to stop these ministers from arguing.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled, and then said: "I understand the meaning of all the Qing families, I think this matter is worth a try, and it is not inappropriate to publicize the imperial decree, after all, the imperial court is thousands of miles away from the people, and with this propaganda, when the imperial court needs money, food or soldiers, it can also get the full support of the people." ”
"But..."
Before someone finished speaking, Emperor Hongzhi continued: "I also understand the meaning of the Qing family, if all the actors in the world can play the role of the monarch and minister of the dynasty, not only the royal majesty will no longer exist, but it will also be chaotic. ”
Xie Zhi only gave a general introduction to his thoughts, but he didn't say so much detail.
Emperor Hongzhi pressed this matter directly on him, and it can be seen that last night, Emperor Hongzhi thought about this matter clearly.
Emperor Hongzhi's decision on these is certain, and there is no room for further questioning.
Although the ministers were unwilling, they had no way to talk about it.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Hongzhi asked: "Yesterday's stage script was handled by Tang Yin, right?" ”
Only Xie Zhi was the only one present who could answer this question, Xie Zhi replied: "Yes, it was Bohu who did it single-handedly, the minister said some general ideas, and the follow-up plot was completed by Bohu alone." ”
Xie Zhike didn't have the ability to write scripts, and he couldn't guide Tang Yin how to operate, and all the steps from beginning to end were really completed by Tang Yin alone.
After Xie Zhi answered, Emperor Hongzhi didn't say much, and said directly: "Set up a propaganda department, and Tang Yin will be the Shangshu, which is a positive six products." ”
Tang Yin is just a county official now, only the eighth grade, and he is promoted to the sixth rank at once, which can be regarded as a promotion.
Tang Yin is not here, then Xie Zhi will represent Xie Zhi, Xie Zhi pulled a smile and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhi said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing about the minister, since there is a propaganda department, it is better to increase some performances in the guard, and the rehearsal in the guard station can be dominated by the generals and heroes who can kill the enemy for the country in the past generations, and cultivate the sense of honor of the soldiers with the power of example." ”
This question was introduced to Emperor Hongzhi as early as before.
Emperor Hongzhi was in favor of it, so when Xie Zhi put forward this opinion again at this time, Emperor Hongzhi directly responded, and said: "Well, yes, this is just a new formation, how to do it slowly and then think about it!" ”
If the court is an official to see glory, adding this propaganda department will seem a bit nondescript, to put it bluntly, those people are just some dramas.
Someone finally couldn't help it, and asked: "Your Majesty, how do the actors of the Propaganda Department confer officials?" ”
The dissatisfaction in the words of this inquiry was palpable.
Emperor Hongzhi was not angry at all, and replied: "Except for the six grades of Shangshu awarding righteousness, the rest of the people are not allowed to confer officials, and the imperial court will issue Yulu according to the standard of internal service." ”
There really has to be a distinction between that.
When Emperor Hongzhi said this, the attitude of those ministers eased a little.
However, it can still be seen that there is still opposition among the ministers of this propaganda department.
"If there is nothing else to do, the Zhongqing family will retire for the time being!"
Emperor Hongzhi spoke, and the ministers had to retreat.
Yesterday, on top of the issue of the Shenji Camp, those ministers would rather kneel in front of the Fengtian Temple for a few hours than propose a strong solution to the problem of the guard.
Now these ministers have lost a lot of confidence in the issue of the Propaganda Department.
If it weren't for yesterday's incident, it is estimated that all the ministers in Beijing would have knelt down and begged Emperor Hongzhi to retract their will before they got the Fengtian Palace.
Chrysostom said that it was difficult to chase the horse, and whenever the emperor's will was not in line with the interests of the literati, they would collectively kneel in front of the main hall and ask the emperor to retract his will.
In this way, the emperor's will can be reversed, isn't that a broken promise?
The black and white ones are just the mouths of the literati.
After the ministers withdrew, Zhu Houzhao also took the lead and said: "Father, the ministers there are also gone, and the ministers will go to deal with the affairs of the Shenji Camp." ”
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, and without waiting for him to speak, Xie Zhi took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will assist His Highness in handling the affairs of the Shenji Battalion, and the weapons station is also stepping up its work, and it will definitely be fully equipped." ”
The rectification of the Shenji Battalion is only one aspect, and the most important thing is that the weapons station can keep up with the pace.
Otherwise, the reorganization of the Shenji Battalion is completed, and it would be embarrassing to have no weapons to use.
