Chapter 677: Shot
The emperor who spent three months in Boao for the summer retreat quietly returned to the city before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the next day he held a hall to study the military reform. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhao Yu knew that those people were worried that the martial artists would encroach on their channels for ascension, and even cut off their access to the ranks after gaining power. And the attitude of the ministers is also ambiguous about this, and it is not clear whether they support it or not. He knew that these people also had hardships, and none of them wanted to be the first birds, because they were afraid of being spurned by the scholars and becoming sinners of the scholars through the ages.
So the ministers each spoke coldly, and those who wanted to speak in support also shut up, and Zhao Hao secretly sneered in his heart, their idea was that both sides should not be offended, and they delayed it in a way that was discussed but not decided, and dragged it out until they lost their temper, the debaters lost interest, the warriors were cold-hearted, and the matter of military reform was dragged out. Therefore, he knew that if he continued like this, it would be a waste of time, and the time for implementation was almost over, so he ordered to put aside the dispute before discussing it, and first reorganize the various departments according to the new military system.
Then Zhao Yu ordered the Military Aircraft Department to preside over the military reform, and the Privy Council and various ministries worked closely together to complete the organizational adjustment of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War before October. Subsequently, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council performed their respective duties, and by the end of the year, the reorganization of the various armies was completed in accordance with the new military system, and the combat effectiveness was formed three months later. He also stressed that this matter is the first priority of the current government, and it is okay to have opinions, but no matter who obstructs it, it will not be tolerated, and it will be punished for contempt of the statement. Matters of the same level will be discussed after the adaptation is completed.
In addition, Zhao Yu plans to reopen the country's sub-prison and wants to open the imperial examination in March next year. At the same time, it is planned to take Ma Tingluan, Wang Yinglin and Shu Yuexiang as bachelors of Hanlin Academy, Deng Wenyuan as the general judge of Yazhou Mansion, Xiong He as Xuezheng of Qiongzhou Mansion, and Xie Ao as Langzhong in the military department. The rest of the scholars who come to the priesthood have official status should be ordered to make proper arrangements by the Ministry of Officials, and the rest can temporarily enter the government to study, and can directly participate in the examination of the Ministry of Rites to show their praise.
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he did not ask for the opinions of the ministers as before, but immediately left his seat. After the ministers sent them off, they looked at each other and quietly dispersed, they all understood that although the courtiers had the right to refuse, but once the monarch acted strongly, the courtiers tried to interfere with the emperor's personnel arrangements, of course, they could not succeed, and the ruler could only retreat and compromise in order to maintain the pattern of unity and interdependence of the monarch. Therefore, they all know that what the little emperor said is unquestionable, and they can only promulgate it according to the edict.
However, the appointment of the little emperor still made everyone uneasy, and everyone understood the status of this Hanlin Bachelor. From a day-to-day point of view, in addition to the internal system and drafting various activities in the palace, the academy also has a duty of serving the emperor as an advisor and dedication, and the emperor either asks about the scriptures and history, or talks about current affairs, or visits talents, or plays with the emperor, etc., and is actually the emperor's secretariat and staff officer.
In the process of strengthening the centralization of power with imperial power as the core, the Hanlin Scholar, as the emperor's think tank and staff officer, played an important role in using his proficient knowledge of the rules and regulations of the past dynasties and the knowledge of imperial studies. Therefore, the Hanlin Bachelor is regarded as the position of the noble eunuch, with the proverb of "Ning Dengying, not the Qing", known as the emperor's private, which is the most sufficient to reflect the envy of the scholars and doctors for the position of Hanlin Bachelor. Today's events make people feel unpredictable......
"Father, Your Majesty suddenly let Ma Xiang and others enter the Academy, do you know a thing or two?" After the ministers left the palace, Liu Di deliberately fell behind, and asked softly when he saw that no one was in front of him.
"I also just learned that His Majesty didn't confide in the slightest rumor before!" Ying Jieyan replied.
"Your Majesty suddenly decided to do this, but why?" Liu Huang was a little puzzled. He knew that the Shuaifu was a grass platform team at the beginning, and there was no perfect organization, and the orders were all from the Senate. Until after the relocation of the dynasty, the institutions of the little emperor were sound, but the academy was also in name only, and the emperor's orders and holy decrees were mostly in the current 'imperial front office' or military aircraft department.
"It's really sudden for us, but not necessarily for Your Majesty!" Ying Jieyan smiled.
"Well, Your Majesty is thoughtful, and he won't be so hasty in selecting such a big matter as a bachelor!" Liu Huang thought about it, with His Majesty's temperament, he would indeed not do such a thing, "Father, then Your Majesty decided this matter so quickly, and did not even consult with you in advance, it is really incomprehensible, could it be just because of the placement of them?" ā
"Your Majesty's arrangement must also have this intention, thinking that those three people are all old ministers, and they are high-minded and prestigious. At present, there are no vacancies in the heads of ministers in the provinces of the Xing Dynasty, and they cannot be adjusted for the time being, so it is only more appropriate to place them in the academy. Ying Jieyan said.
"Hey, what my father said is indeed reasonable, but I always feel that something is wrong, and I can't help but feel worried in my heart, Your Majesty's decision seems to have a deep meaning!" Liu Huang took a breath when he heard this, but Ying Jieyan's explanation still couldn't let him clear his doubts, and said with a frown.
"What's wrong? The three gentlemen Bohou, Xiangzhong and Jing Xue have come thousands of miles to invest, and they have held important positions in the previous dynasty, and when they have been in Boao for a long time, they must get along well with His Majesty, otherwise how could they be easily placed in the academy! Ying Jieyan smiled.
"Your Majesty has a discerning eye, and it is indeed inappropriate for them to serve as Hanlin Scholars with their qualifications and virtues! But ......" Liu Huang nodded, knowing that Ying Jieyan's words were good.
The primary factor in the promotion of the Hanlin Scholar to the rank of Governor is loyalty. Although there is a high probability that the Hallym Scholar will become the ruler, not every Hallym Scholar will be able to do what he wants. The most basic duty of the Hanlin Scholars is to draft the edict, and if it can well reflect the will of the monarch, it can be regarded as a sign of loyalty to the monarch. Although these three people had never drafted an edict for His Majesty, it was difficult to change the style of each of them, and Liu Huang had already discovered that although they used anonymous names in the newspaper debates, it was not difficult to see who was the author. Judging from the content of the article, it is obvious that he is speaking for His Majesty's military reform, and of course he has won the sacred heart.
"Shengbo, this is not the place to talk, and now it's time for lunch, shall we find a clean place to talk about it?" Ying Jieyan interrupted his words and said softly.
"It's okay, it's okay in the afternoon, just a few drinks!" Liu Huang immediately reacted, this is still in the palace, I don't know how many people are staring at him, if he is accidentally heard by someone with ulterior motives, I am afraid that it will cause trouble, so I will respond immediately.
With the move of the Xing Dynasty, the population of Fucheng skyrocketed to nearly 100,000, which naturally led to the development of various industries, especially the increasingly developed service industry. Liu Di and the two found a clean and refreshing restaurant, found a private room, ordered a few side dishes, asked for a pot of wine, and chatted while talking.
"I know what Sheng Bo is worried about, the academy that has been empty all this time suddenly has a few high-level talents, which will inevitably make ripples in the hearts of many people in the court!" After a few glasses of wine, Ying Jie Yan took a bite of food and said.
"And my father, I have no nostalgia, returning to my hometown to cultivate and study is what I want!" Liu Huang said with a blushing face.
"Hehe, Shengbo doesn't love high positions, but he doesn't think about it either!" Ying Jieyan smiled and said, "There is no shortage of people who are in power because of the good words of the king, but whether they can be included in it depends on the meaning of the deacons!" ā
"What my father said is true, but I am worried that Your Majesty will make an assertion and thus disrupt the situation!" Liu Huang nodded.
He knew that the emperor and the scholars ruled the world together, and as the representatives of the scholars, the rulers and ministers had a very high political status, and the emperor had to cooperate with them if he wanted to strengthen the imperial power. On major personnel matters, such as the appointment of a new ruler, the monarch must listen to the advice or opinions of the current ruler. If the monarch wants to reuse the Hanlin Bachelor, he also needs to obtain the support of the current Zaizhi, and the current Zaizhi can even recommend candidates, so although the Academy is a place for the Zaizhi to save talents, whether they can enter the ruling group or not still has a lot to do with the emperor and the Zaizhi's important ministers.
"Yes, the current military reform has not been implemented for a long time, and this time it has not been decided, which has already made Your Majesty very dissatisfied, and it is not impossible if they reach a tacit understanding with Your Majesty. As for the turmoil in the DPRK and China, is it not enough to be chaotic in the DPRK and China now! Ying Jieyan said with a wry smile.
"Yes, although Lu Xiang did not object, he was not able to control the overall situation, and there was a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition. and failed to understand the holy will, and seized the opportunity to speak out, which made His Majesty dissatisfied! Liu Di sighed and drank the wine. He knew that what he said was true, and people often used the meeting of monarchs and ministers to describe the tacit understanding of cooperation between monarchs and ministers, and appointed Hanlin scholars whose political views were consistent with those of the emperor as the ruler, which was conducive to the implementation of the emperor's will. In order to get along with the master, the emperor must also choose the ministers who are loyal to him, and those who have been tested by major political events, have a firm stand, and have supported the monarch, have become the objects of reuse.
Whether the Hanlin Scholar can serve as the ruling party, the role of the Minister of Power is even more prominent, and the Hanlin Bachelor, who is not tolerated by the ministers, may be stranded even if the emperor intends to use it greatly. This shows that the emperor seems to have more trust in the latter between the Hanlin scholars and the ministers, because the relationship between the ministers and the monarch was closer. But often the emperor disagreed, and the ministers were helpless. But at present, the little emperor is getting stronger and stronger, and the power minister cannot exist at all, so everything still depends on the emperor's will.
"Sheng Bo still can't hold his breath, Your Majesty's enrichment of the Academy seems to be a suspicion of transposition, but in my opinion, Your Majesty is more like a warning, not necessarily so!" Ying Jieyan said.
"I don't see it that way, if Your Majesty lets them concurrently hold a substantive position, you can be sure whether there is such a intention!" Liu Huang still doesn't believe it, he has understood for many years in the court, and whether the Hanlin bachelor is up to the task depends on his ability to handle the affairs of the court. In order to inspect and cultivate their ability to serve as officials, the imperial court often let Hanlin scholars take up the post of multiplication. In addition, they also undertook a lot of temporary assignments, such as inspecting water conservancy, serving as pacification envoys, propaganda envoys, and examining and approving the state's financial and economic policies and the official system. Most of these missions are related to the reform of the national economy, people's livelihood, and administrative system.
Based on this, the bachelors can understand the national situation, exercise their talents, and accumulate valuable experience for becoming a ruler in the future. The fact that a large number of scholars have joined the ruling group indicates that the new scholar group is strongly rising, and wants to replace the traditional scholars, and this kind of political elite has a stronger sense of political responsibility and a higher enthusiasm for maintaining the monarchy. Since the Hanlin scholars were the "private" of the emperor, they rarely posed a threat to the imperial power after serving as governors, and of course, it was difficult for the Hanlin scholars with no ability to work as officials to display their talents on a larger stage if they did not have the trust of the monarch.
"Do you think their abilities still need to be tested? You don't have to worry too much, Your Majesty just let them enter the academy, without adding the knowledge system, indicating that they are still observing! Ying Jieyan said.
"That being said, I'm still worried. His Majesty is eccentric and thoughtful, since he is not willful, it is the idea of changing the appearance, and although Lu Xiang did not show his attitude, it is also to maintain the stability of the court! Liu Huang sighed and said.
According to the official system of this dynasty, the people who served in the Hanlin Academy were all literary scholars, but as the monarch's right-hand man, they played a role that could not be ignored in the entire political and cultural life. And it is close to the emperor, easy to be appreciated and promoted, and it has become a place for the deacons to store materials, and the Hanlin bachelors in the middle of this dynasty accounted for as much as half. The position of the bachelor of Hanlin is noble, and the responsibility after being selected is also heavy, so it is naturally difficult for him to be selected.
The oldest of the bachelors is called the Hanlin Bachelor, and it is hereinafter referred to as the Hanlin Bachelor and the Zhizhi Decree. The undertaking is not permanent, and there is no fixed number of other bachelors. Other officials who are admitted to the hospital without conferring a bachelor's degree are called bachelor's degrees. If there is a shortage of bachelors, other officials will temporarily write in Chinese, which is called the academy quanzhi or hanlin quanzhi. Directly drafting the hemp system, the reply and the words used in the court for the emperor are called internal systems; If it is called the knowledge system, and on the order of the emperor or the prime minister, the draft of the official promotion, grinding, and change of dispatch words is called the external system, and the general name is the two systems.
In addition, those who have the name of Hanlin and do not belong to the academy and specialize in explaining the Confucian scriptures to the emperor are called Hanlin scholars or Hanlin scholars, and those with lower official ranks are called storytellers or banquet officials, which are generally part-time jobs of other officials. Those who are appointed to other positions, such as those who know Kaifeng Mansion and the three secretaries, do not belong to the academy, so they must bring those who are in charge of the edict to really take charge of the edict. There are scholars who have the right to be scholars, and they do not have knowledge of the system.
Therefore, Liu Huang was worried that His Majesty did not want them to stay in the academy for a long time at all, but wanted to remove officials who were still stubborn regardless of the overall situation. It doesn't matter if Ma Tingluan and others enter the court, but what is worrying is that it will be followed by another infighting and purge in the court. Once the situation gets out of control, His Majesty will inevitably resort to force, and the warriors will rise through this, which none of them want to see......
