Chapter 38: It's Time to Move Places for Them
In the last knocking incident, Zhu Youzhen's Donglin Party, which was beaten by a combination of punches, has not changed its strength so far.
Holding grass and beating rabbits, officials from other parties also saw Zhu Youzhen's wrists, and while shocked, they all clamped their tails.
Therefore, the reshuffle of the cabinet and the abolition of the early dynasty were silent by the imperial court and local officials.
Zhu Youzhen took advantage of the victory to pursue, and attacked the great masters of the six departments and nine qings.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he always has to make personnel changes, or how can others know who is the boss.
And the first target of Zhu Youzhen was Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry.
Zhou Yingqiu, the twenty-third year of Wanli Jinshi, the fourth year of the Apocalypse took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, and was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department, because the hoof did well, he was deeply appreciated by Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing, and the sixth year of the Apocalypse entered the Ministry of Officials.
Zhou Yingqiu was the head of Wei Zhongxian's 'Ten Dogs', and when he was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, he and Li Kuilong, the Department of Literary Anthology, sold the official mantle, and was nicknamed 'Sunday Wan'.
With such a long-standing corrupt official, Zhu Youzhen naturally wanted to kill him to thank the people and the officials.
After Zhou Yingqiu and Li Kuilong subdued the law, Zhu Youzhen entered the Ministry of Works, and Xue Fengxiang was the secretary of the Ministry of Officials.
Xue Fengxiang has always looked up to this public, often does not like to argue with others, especially good at the method of thin mud, the most suitable for personnel work, Zhu Youzhen believes that this official official department is just right.
As for the vacated candidates for the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Youzhen has already had a detailed reference in his heart, and he can take office immediately after Xu Guangqi recovers.
For Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youzhen in his previous life knew a lot about this public, and Zhu Youzhen had been to his memorial hall in Shanghai alone.
Xu Guangqi has certain attainments in mathematics, astronomy, calendar, agriculture, water conservancy, etc., and his translated works "Geometric Original", "Taixi Water Law" and "Agricultural Administration", Zhu Youzhen has also roughly translated.
And Xu Guangqi is not only good at learning, but also good at official work, in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, he became the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and he resigned and retired because he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's control of the government.
This scholar-type official is actually the best candidate for Zhu Youzhen's central Ministry of Labor.
Therefore, after getting rid of Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youzhen's edict to revert to Xu Guangqi was already on the road, and at this time, Xu Guangqi should already be on his way to Beijing.
In addition to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhu Youzhen has also been decided.
Yuan Keli, the seventeenth year of Wanli, the teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, has been in the sea for a long time, and has served as the governor of Suzhou Prefecture, the imperial history of the patrol city, the Zuo Tongzheng, the governor of Denglai, the squire of the military department and the secretary of the military department.
He has a very rich resume, both civil affairs and military politics, and is one of the few civil and military all-rounders in the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, this duke has a strategic vision, during his tenure as governor of Denglai, in the face of the situation of Liaodong lost after the defeat of Guangning, he vigorously fought against the public, and resolutely supported Mao Wenlong to base Liaohai, surprise troops, and restore southern Liaoning.
Subsequently, with the strong support of Yuan Keli, Mao Wenlong led the Dongjiang Army to recover Lushun, Gaizhou, Tieshan and other places.
During Yuan Keli's tenure as governor of Denglai, the Ming army had the largest area of land in Liaodong, and Mao Wenlong's main military exploits were also made during this period.
And during this period, Yuan Keli also rebelled against Nurhachi's son-in-law Liu Aita, which shows that this public conspiracy is not inferior to Yang's conspiracy.
The most important thing is that this duke also has the idea of sea power, and put forward the strategic idea of recovering southern Liaoning with the Liaohai Sea ahead of the times, advocating the construction of large ships to rely on the Liaohai islands, and then go ashore to attack and harass the rear of the Jurchens.
But he was such a civil and military all-rounder with both strategic and tactical vision, but because of his ideological inclination to the Donglin Party, he was impeached by the Eunuch Party in the late period of the Apocalypse, and finally resigned in anger.
Therefore, after getting rid of Cui Chengxiu, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhu Youzhen immediately reinstated Yuan Keli, and as soon as he arrived, he could leave the Ministry of Horses.
As for Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, he was transferred to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his position was taken over by Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing.
As for why he chose Bi Ziyan, it also comes from a small section of a chapter in Zhu Youzhen's previous life "Finance" textbook.
It records some of Bi Ziyan's views on ancient finance, one of which is to suggest that Emperor Chongzhen evaluate the performance of officials at the speed of economic development, because this idea is very advanced, so Zhu Youzhen in his previous life has a deep memory.
Such advanced economic ideas coincided with the reform of the administration of officials that Zhu Youzhen was about to implement, so Zhu Youzhen felt that he was the only candidate for the secretary of the household department.
As for Xue Zhen, the current secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhu Youzhen also has to be killed.
Because this person rebelled against Wei Zhongxian and killed many upright ministers during his tenure as the secretary of the Criminal Department, this person had to die.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen's charge to Xue Zhending was not to rebel against Wei Gelding, but to execute him on charges of embezzlement and disregard for human life.
As for the vacant criminal department book, Zhu Youzhen did not have a suitable candidate in his heart, so he had to hand it over to the cabinet vote.
The candidate recommended by the cabinet is Han Jisi, the former deputy envoy of the Imperial Palace.
This person is a Jinshi in the forty-first year of Wanli, and has served as Xing Kedu in the matter, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and Yushi of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan.
In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Zhending, was imprisoned by the eunuchs for refusing to invite Wei Zhongxian to the Xiusheng Temple.
Han Jisi, who was the left deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate, respected Geng Ruqi's actions of not being afraid of power and rape, and when no one in the court spoke, he risked his life to rescue Geng Ruqi, and was hated by Wei Zhongxian, so he was dismissed.
Zhu Youzhen saw that this person had both a righteous heart and the courage not to be afraid of power, and he was indeed a candidate for the secretary of the Criminal Department.
As for Dali Siqing, Zhu Youzhen also followed the cabinet vote and activated Hui Shiyang, who had just been released from prison.
This duke is a thirty-five year jinshi of Wanli, and Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu are in the same department.
In the first year of Taichang, he and Yang Lian planned the big case of moving the palace, and once entered the palace alone to meet with the great eunuch Wang An to rob Zhu Youxiao.
Later, he was imprisoned by Wei Zhongxian.
This person is loyal and brave, he has been in prison for two years, and he has not confessed to a Donglin Party official, but he is actually a Donglin Party cadre with the same name as Yang Lian.
As for the candidate of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhu Youzhen was promoted to Liu Zongzhou, the right attendant of the original Ministry of Officials.
Liu Zongzhou was a great Confucian in the late Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen also understood it in his previous life, and the theory of 'cautious independence' was put forward by him.
This duke is a believer of Wang Yangming, and he is a master of Confucianism, so he should be regarded as doing his best in the work of the imperial historian.
As for the position of Guozijian sacrificial wine, Zhu Youzhen attaches great importance to it, because Guozijian is the focus of his next reform.
For several candidates for cabinet votes, Zhu Youzhen thought about it for a long time, and finally recalled Lu Kun, who was idle at home.
This duke is a scholar in the 22nd year of Wanli, and has been an official to the left servant of the Criminal Department, and is the author of "Governance Records", "Pseudo-collection", etc., covering politics, economics, arithmetic, military, water conservancy, education, criminal law and other fields.
For a man with such a wide range of knowledge, Zhu Youzhen felt that it was very suitable for him to be the future dean of the School of Administration.
In the end, for Ruan Dacheng, the secretary of Taichang Temple who was in charge of the cultural industry of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen did not move.
Although neither the Donglin Party nor the Eunuch Party was interested in Ruan Dacheng, and they wrote letters to impeach him at both ends of the snake and mouse, Zhu Youzhen still tried his best to disagree with the public and still let him take up his original post.
Without him, just because Ruan Dacheng is a master of opera, Zhu Youzhen heard his name in his previous life, if this person does not do Taichang Siqing, he is really condescending.
