Chapter 928: The Wind Rises in the Court
Huazhou is not alarmed, but the imperial capital is hot and humid, and the entire court is looking forward to a heavy rain.
On the first day of the seventh month, the Great Dynasty. Shi Chongwei was dressed neatly, and rode to Hanyuan Hall on his shoulder, with an ice basin on it, and the little eunuch fanned beside him, but it still couldn't eliminate the irritability in Shi Chongwei's heart.
The peace treaty with the Moren has been signed, there is no war in the north, except for the resident 100,000 troops, the officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei battalion are gradually returning, but the peace treaty has provoked discussions, Huang Xi reported in the spy report that someone is stirring up dissatisfaction, Shi Chongwei slammed the handrail, it is time to clean up. The shoulder stopped, Zhang Jin bowed and said, "Long live the lord, what do you command?" Shi Chongwei waved his hand, did not make a sound, and marched again with his shoulders, Long Live Lord was in a bad mood, and everyone's footsteps became inaudible, worried that the Son of Heaven would be sent outside the Hanyuan Palace.
After the worship, Zuo Xiangkong Province went out and said: "Long live the minister, the emperor began to clear the acres of land in Fengle in the ninth year, recover the arrears of silver, and implement the 'tax as one', the court tax increased, the people's burden was reduced, and the world called it a virtuous government." In the fifth year of Jianwu, Emperor Su issued an edict to clean up the official field, and set up the Qingtian Division, with Jiang Anyi as the envoy, and tried to clean up the official field in Jiangzhou, and then because of the use of troops to the north, the matter of cleaning up the official field was delayed. Seventeen years have passed since the clearing of the fields, and the clean-up of the official fields has not yet been launched. ”
The hearts of the civil and military officials in the court sank, the official field is related to everyone's interests, and Kong Xiang's request is likely to be the prelude to the Son of Heaven's purge of the court. Shi Chongwei nodded and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?" ”
Duan Cizong, the secretary of the ministry, came out of the class and said: "The minister seconded the proposal. Immediately after a series of seconding voices sounded, the directors of the six ministries and nine qing all expressed their support, and they passed the gas in the Zichen Hall a few days ago, and no one would jump out to oppose it.
Shi Chongwei was very satisfied with this one-sided result, and said: "I have decided to re-clear the fields, and clean up the official and private fields together. However, the position of the head of the Qingtian Division is vacant, and a competent person is needed to preside over it, I don't know who is willing to take on this heavy responsibility? ”
The Qingtian envoy is an official rank of the fourth rank, and many officials of the fourth and fifth rank in the DPRK and the central government are moved, and some people volunteer to go out one after another.
Shi Chongwei already had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "You Aiqing have the courage to do things, and I am very relieved. However, clearing the acres of land is the first major policy I have implemented since I ascended the throne, and it is related to the reputation of the court and my face, so I am ready to appoint a high-ranking and powerful official to personally preside over this clean-up. ”
"Huang Ping, Huang Aiqing."
Huang Ping heard the call of the Son of Heaven, his heart was cold, Shi Chongwei ascended the throne, and the King of Chu went out of Beijing, he was already prepared for his fate, but he didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would actually be the imperial historian (from the third grade) to be the Qingtian envoy (on the fourth grade). had to go out of work and bow down, "Chen Huang Ping waited for the order".
Thinking of Huang Ping's secret opposition when he was the prince, Shi Chongwei looked at Huang Ping with a sad face, and his heart was full of pleasure. Shi Chongwei looked at Huang Ping playfully, it felt like a cat caught a mouse and didn't rush to eat it, but teased it first.
"Huang Qing, back then, you asked the emperor to check the official fields, and this matter started because of you, so you started and finished well, and did a good job of cleaning up the fields. Huang Qing, you are an old minister, and you are very respectful, and I am very relieved of you. ”
Huang Ping bowed down and listened to the Son of Heaven's comments on himself, "Old minister, take care of things", the word "loyalty" that he wanted to hear the most did not appear, and the Son of Heaven's dislike for himself jumped on the paper, and it was clear that he intended to dispose of himself by cleaning up the fields. But what can you do as a courtier, you can't put your burden on the spot and don't do it, if you dare to do this, you will be waiting for you to deprecate. People have to learn to bow their heads under the low eaves, who let the king of Chu not win, Huang Ping bowed bitterly and said: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Shi Chongwei said: "Huang Qing is the official body of the third grade, and Ren Qingtian makes the official rank unchanged. ”
The position of the Imperial Doctor was vacant, and everyone's hearts were waiting for the Son of Heaven to announce the successor.
"Wei Youcheng", three words came out of Shi Chongwei's mouth, and everyone was silent, this is the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven, and no one can compete with him.
Wei Youcheng bowed and saluted. Shi Chongwei said with a smile: "Wei Qing's family has a good history, he has learned people, and he has made many achievements, the emperor once promised the reputation of 'good son-in-law', and I also promised Wei Qing very much. The position of the imperial historian is in charge of the national criminal constitution, rules and decrees, and the court is solemn, with high responsibilities and heavy responsibilities, and non-secretaries are incompetent. With Wei Youcheng (the official rank of the fourth grade) temporarily in charge of the imperial history platform, Wei Qing reluctantly. ”
Among the "Three Jies", Jiang Anyi is the champion, the youngest, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-four years old, and he is appointed as the envoy of Huazhou as a Shangguan of the fourth grade; Zhang Zhicheng, the eye of the list, happened to be the year of not being confused, Ren Huangzhou Thorn History (on the fourth product); Tanhualang Wei Youcheng is thirty-eight years old, and he temporarily takes charge of the Yushitai with the rank of the fourth grade, and Wei Youcheng is in front of the three. With his relationship with Shi Chongwei, it is foreseeable that he will go higher and higher in the future, leaving Jiang Anyi and Zhang Zhicheng behind, and the imperial historian can be postponed to the phase, and the "one door and two phases" that Wei Yi looked forward to back then is just around the corner.
Wei Youcheng was excited, thanked him for returning to work, and the ministers around him congratulated him softly. There are also people who nervously pay attention to the Son of Heaven on the throne, waiting for the next lucky name to come out of the mouth of the Son of Heaven. One radish is empty, pull out another one to fill in the blanks, Wei Youcheng became the imperial doctor, and the servant of the ministry on his body is vacant, the servant of the ministry is the largest among the six servants, and it has always been the preparation of the six books, and it is expected to be able to sit in this position of the six departments and nine kings.
"Duan Qing", Shi Chongwei's eyes fell on Duan Cizong, the secretary of the ministry, and everyone was happy, there were rumors that Duan Cizong was going to be the right minister, so wouldn't it be that the position of the secretary was also vacant, although the position of the secretary was too high, most people could only be hot, but many people could invest in the officials who were expected to be in place in the early stage. The official secretary is in charge of the assessment and promotion of officials, and once the investment official is implemented and really becomes the official secretary, then his career will be much smoother.
The waiters and young ministers straightened up their bodies and raised their ears, lest they miss the words of the Son of Heaven. Shi Chongwei was very satisfied with the appearance of the ministers who were full of expectation and sincere fear, and deliberately was silent for a moment, making everyone's anticipation beat more intensely, before he spoke: "Duan Qing, Ma Suizhen went to Chuzhou, the post of right minister was vacant, and Kong said to me that the affairs of the political hall were too troublesome and his energy was not enough. I appointed you as the right minister to help Kong Xiang take care of the affairs of the court, Duan Qing worked harder, and the post of secretary of the ministry was temporarily concurrent, and I will appoint others after I find a suitable candidate. ”
The ministers gasped, the right minister and the secretary of the book, the authority in the hands of Duan Cizong exceeded that of Kong Xiang, looking at Duan Cizong with a look of favor and humiliation, many people were thinking about how to deal with this minister, Duan Cizong was upright, enlightened and upright, knowledgeable, and self-interested, so that Emperor Su would be promoted all the way to the position of the secretary of the ministry, and the new emperor ascended the throne and ordered him to be the right minister and concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry.
People who can stand in the court are all human spirits, knowing that upright people have a righteous way of making friends, nothing more than to do what they like, and they also put on a upright attitude, and concentrate on governing things will definitely win the favor of Duan Cizong, Duan Cizong has a son and a daughter, and his daughter is married to a Jinshi who is an official in the field, and his son Duan Mingxin is twenty-three years old this year, and he has been promoted. If it is someone else, Duan Gongzi will definitely be favored by the emperor of the family, but Duan Cizong will definitely not make such a choice, on the contrary, there are women in ordinary officials' families who are dignified and easy to marry this right minister, and there are hundreds of people in the palace, and it is estimated that there are not a few people who turn this idea.
"Yu Aiqing", Shi Chongwei looked at Yu Zhijie in the court, and Yu Zhijie was busy out of the class to salute. The gray hair under the crown of the hair is gray, and the beard is also more white and less black, Yu Zhijie is sixty-six years old this year and is already old. Shi Chongwei looked at this important minister of the court and sighed: "Yu Qing works hard for the country, the credit is in the community, and the treasury is full of people's peace and security. Aiqing has asked Zhishi many times, although I am reluctant, I can't bear to take away Qing's intention to recuperate. ”
After saying that, Shi Chongwei gestured to Zhang Jin, who was standing beside him. Zhang Jin held the pre-written will in his hand, opened it and read it aloud: "The household department is still in the book and knows the festival, knows the clear move, the virtue is inside and outside, the sound overflows the temple, the material pushes the pillars, and the curtain is in the community." The non-lord has no remuneration, so he is promoted to the new Qi Bo, builds a new Qi Bo Mansion, and then shades the descendants. Give a dragon head crutch, six hundred gold, two thousand silver, 100 silk and colored satin, and the Ministry of Rites will return with a car, and the officials of the Texas Thorn History will greet each other, and the Xinqi County Order will greet at four o'clock, and you can not slack off. Chin this. ”
Yu Zhijie had mixed feelings and tears, both thanking the emperor for his grace and feeling the end of his career, bowed down on the Golden Palace, and said in a choked voice: "Long live the old minister's farewell, may Your Majesty take care of the dragon's body, minister...... The minister took his leave. Shi Chongwei stood up and walked down the imperial steps, personally helped Yu Zhijie up, and the civil and military officials sent out of the Hanyuan Palace, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites accompanied him and sent him back to the mansion without mentioning.
The court class was relined above the Golden Palace, and Cheng Mingdao's heart was "pounding", and it was up to him whether the position of the Hubu Shangshu would fall on his head. Shi Chongwei did not rush to announce the candidate for the head of the household book, but preached the great truth of "loyalty to the monarch and patriotism" in the taste of everyone. Speaking of dry mouth, Shi Chongwei said: "Yu Aiqing's household department is short of books, and Yang Quandong, the assassin of Fuzhou, will take over, and the government affairs of Fuzhou will be temporarily ...... by Wu Yanping, the chief historian."
The ministers were in an uproar, Fuzhou is the state where the capital is located, the feet of the Son of Heaven are naturally superior, Fuzhou has always ranked first among the 27 states in the world, and it is common for Fuzhou to reuse the history of the assassination into Beijing. In the third year of Jianwu, Xue Zhiren, the history of Fuzhou Thorn, entered Beijing as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and after five years, Yang Quandong, the history of Fuzhou Thorn, entered Beijing to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Fuzhou is really a treasure of feng shui, and even the disheartened Huang Ping moved his mind to whether he could take office as the history of Fuzhou after the completion of clearing the fields. The wind and rain in Beijing are crazy, and it is not bad to be able to enjoy a party in other states.
