"Zhao Junchen, the left attendant of the Jin Household Department, is the secretary of the Household Department. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"

For Emperor Deqing's will, all the ministers, whether it is the prince and the party or the cabinet elder Wen Guanliang, may be a little unwilling, but they don't have too many ideas of opposition.

In fact, with the current situation of the household department, there is actually no difference between Zhao Junchen and whether he is the secretary of the household department, but it just gives Zhao Junchen an extra name.

But Zhao Junchen was a little happy, in his opinion, the squire is the third grade, and the Shangshu is the second grade, this is the biggest difference. It is always more convenient to collect party henchmen in the position of second-grade Shangshu.

However, the next decree of Emperor Deqing broke the peace and caused a shock in the court!

Including Zhao Junchen, who had already received the news in advance from Emperor Deqing, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

“…… Li Chengru, the original head of the household department, was reappointed as the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and the original Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court was Bo Caihua, and he was very old, and he returned to his hometown ......"

“…… Ma Sen, the former right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was reappointed as the left waiter of the household department, and Zhan Shanchang, the right waiter of the original Ministry of Rites, was reappointed as the right waiter of the household department, and filled the vacancy of the household department......"

“…… Zhang Xuan, the former right servant of the Inspectorate, was reappointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites......"

“…… Liu Chang'an, the prefect of Lu'an, has a way to govern the people, has meritorious help, is an example for hundreds of officials, and is promoted to the right attendant of the ministry......"

………

With the successive release of Emperor Deqing's wills, the originally calm officials of the court were all shocked or stunned, and after being shocked, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Such a large-scale change of officials, even during the period of official interrogation once every three years, is rare, not to mention, the changes are still in the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, these crucial officials of the Yamen?

Any official with the slightest discernment can see the impact of such a transfer.

The household department is Zhao Junchen's territory, but Ma Sen, who was transferred to the left servant of the household department, is the first assistant Zhou Shangjing's person; The Ministry of Officials is Zhou Shangjing's sphere of influence, and Liu Chang'an, who was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, is backed by Zhao Junchen! With sand mixed with each other like this, how should Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing view each other?

And Zhang Xuan, the right of the Inspectorate, is the old man of the pavilion, Huang Yourong, after being promoted to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, will he start to clean up the influence that Zhao Junchen has just established in the Ministry of Rites?

What impact will such a small-scale reshuffle have on the distribution of factional forces in the center of the imperial court, which has been stable for many years?

Compared with the hundred officials who got the news for the first time, Zhao Junchen thought more far-reaching.

Li Chengru, the former secretary of the household department, was reappointed as the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Emperor Deqing did not say this to Zhao Junchen, such an appointment seems inconspicuous, but if you think of Lu Chunxiao, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, is also the person of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, then in the future, the supervision yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I am afraid that it will be more deeply influenced by the prince Zhu and Yu.

If Zhu Heyu can finally control the Metropolitan Procuratorate, then although he still can't hold real power in the court, his right to speak will become heavier, at least he will have to protect himself.

"Is this protecting Zhu and Yu?"

Zhao Junchen frowned, raised his head and secretly looked at Emperor Deqing, but saw that Emperor Deqing was still a majestic and honorable demeanor at this time, without any change, just looking at the noise of the hundreds of officials in the court, frowning and a little dissatisfied.

"Hundred officials are silent!!"

With the eunuch Zhang De's shout, the hundreds of officials in the court realized their rudeness, and they all kept silent and lowered their heads to listen to the training.

But Emperor Deqing didn't reprimand anything, but his tone was slightly gentle, and he asked slowly: "Do you have any objections to these arrangements?" ”

Emperor Deqing asked this, purely for the sake of face, he had already made such a will without consulting with the hundred officials, since the will had been made, how could the Son of Heaven change it at will? This is forcing the officials to agree.

For a time, all the officials in the court, including Zhao Junchen, focused their attention on Zhou Shangjing, the first assistant of the cabinet, and at this time, he was the only one who could make Emperor Deqing change his mind.

Or noticing the attention of hundreds of officials, Zhou Shangjing, who has been silent since the last dynasty, finally made a move.

I saw Zhou Shangjing trembling out of the queue of hundreds of officials, bowing to Emperor Deqing and saying, "Your Majesty's arrangement is extremely suitable, and the old minister agrees." ”

Hearing Zhou Shangjing's answer, the hundred officials in the court couldn't help but be shocked again!

For Emperor Deqing's arrangement, Zhou Shangjing actually agreed?

Zhao Junchen, who originally expected Zhou Shangjing to oppose it, was also stunned, looking at Zhou Shangjing's old back, doubts flashed on his face.

Zhao Junchen was not happy with Emperor Deqing's arrangement, Zhao Junchen did not want to have entanglements with Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong and others, and then be hostile, but according to Emperor Deqing's approach, this situation was difficult to avoid.

The rights and wrongs of friends and foes above officialdom are not determined by personal will, otherwise there would be no such thing as "the ass determines the head".

However, Zhao Junchen did not have the strength to resist Emperor Deqing, but Zhou Shangjing did! In fact, if it weren't for Zhou Shangjing's statement before, Emperor Deqing wouldn't have had to be so troublesome if he wanted to tour the south.

In Zhao Junchen's view, Zhou Shangjing must also be unhappy with this arrangement of Emperor Deqing, although the household department is nominally in charge of the world's taxes, money and grain, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty's tax evasion situation is strict, and the use of silver in the treasury has a fixed amount, although there is a lot of oil and water, but Zhou Shangjing may not be able to see it. And different from the household department, the ministry is in charge of the promotion and demotion of officials, and it is the core yamen of the temple center, and its importance is far from being comparable to the household department.

Zhao Junchen asked himself, after Ma Sen came to the household department, although he could put him in the air, he was not happy to have such a nail in the way by his side.

However, although Zhao Junchen was puzzled, with Zhou Shangjing's statement of approval, the hundred officials had no leader, and they did not dare to lightly refute the will of Emperor Deqing, although the hundred officials were silent and the atmosphere was weird, but the matter was settled.

Li Chengru, Zhan Shanchang, Ma Sen, Zhang Xuan and others, who were also happy or worried, bowed to Emperor Deqing and thanked him.

………

In the face of Emperor Deqing's sudden official transfer, among the hundreds of officials, the happiest may be Wen Guanliang.

In Wen Guanliang's view, Emperor Deqing arranged like this, Zhou Shangjing and Huang Yourong would be more or less hostile to Zhao Junchen, and then with the impeachment of Zhao Junchen by his subordinates, not only Huang Yourong, who had already reached a tacit understanding with him, would have a more positive attitude, but Zhou Shangjing, who had no idea of interfering, might also change his attitude and help each other secretly.

Coupled with the prince's party, which is full of hostility towards Zhao Junchen, and Shen Changmao's faction, which is bound to fall into the ground, although Zhao Junchen has been promoted to the head of the household, the next troubles will definitely make him tired to deal with.

Thinking like this, Wen Guanliang felt more and more that at this time today, it was a good time to act, so he turned his head and looked at Gu Quan, the right deputy of the Inspectorate, and signaled him to take action to impeach the Ministry of Household Affairs for unclear accounts.

However, perhaps because the arrangements made by Emperor Deqing just now were too shocking, Gu Quan lowered his head at this time, with a contemplative face, and did not notice Wen Guanliang's gesture at all.

Wen Guanliang had no choice but to skip Gu Quan and instead gesture to Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

However, at this time, Zuo Lanshan was also like Gu Quan, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't notice Wen Guanliang's signal.

Seeing the two of them like this, Wen Guanliang couldn't help frowning, he only felt that something was wrong, and was just about to cough to remind the two, but Emperor Deqing spoke again.

Maybe it was because he saw that the atmosphere in the court was weird, the officials were silent, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so Emperor Deqing didn't have the intention of continuing the early dynasty, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, everything has been decided, if there is nothing else to do, then go to the court." ”

Hearing Emperor Deqing say this, Wen Guanliang couldn't help but feel anxious, and for a while, he couldn't care about Gu Quan's strange appearance with Zuo Lanshan, and personally came out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister still has something important to report." ”
