Chapter 5 Discussion of the Great Politics of the Dynasty

Days flew by.

Zhang Xuan spent a day or two with Luo Yujiao, and another day or two with his subordinates in Nanjing.

Among the scribes of Cao Ying, many of them came from Runing, and these people can be said to be Zhang Xuan's old department, and this relationship is not clear. Sent out by Zhang Xuan's old department, the person with the highest official position was none other than Zhou Fuchen.

Now Zhou Fuchen is the commander of the Yangtze River Navy.

Although Cao Ying's Yangtze River Sailor is still just a spectacle, there are not many manpower at all. But above the official position, there is only Zhang Xuan. It's also a steady progress. In the future, Cao Ying's sailors will probably be derived from this long-term sailor.

Thinking that Zhou Fuchen himself did not make any big mistakes, he would definitely be a big man in the military circles in the future.

The seventeenth year of Chongzhen or the second year of Yongchang, the fifth day of the first month.

On this day, Luo Rucai, the king of Wu, held a great court meeting.

The civil and military officials are all in the official government, all of which are in the Ming system. Standing in the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

Zhang Xuan only heard the crisp sound of the whip, and then a eunuch shouted: "King Wu has arrived in ------"

"Meet the King."

Everyone led by Luo Yulong bowed down one after another.

Zhang Xuan also bowed down immediately.

Although the Nanjing Imperial Palace is dilapidated, it has been renovated once. It's okay on the surface, but the damp feeling lingers.

Everyone was extremely solemn, and even Zhang Xuan was invited, and for a while there was a feeling that he didn't dare to look directly at Luo Rucai. It's just that Zhang Xuan didn't know that for the newly appointed Ministry of Rites, this was already quite a rudimentary etiquette. Only then did Guy know what kind of virtue his old subordinates were. If they are too cumbersome to prescribe etiquette, they will not be able to do it, and they may even make jokes.

"Flat." Luo Rucai said.

"King Xie." The crowd rose one after another.

At this moment, in the main hall, there are as many as 100 civil and military officials, and there are relatively few civil officials, about 30 people, all of whom are behind the six Shangshu with their own subordinate officials, and they have simply set up the shelves of the six departments, and there are more military generals. All the generals near Nanjing have come over, and they will release anyone who will command at least 3,000 troops outside.

Among the civil and military forces, there is one person with a very special position, and that is Luo Yulong.

Luo Yulong stood in the first row, or Luo Yulong was the only one in the first row. This is an obvious political cue.

Luo Rucai nodded to the eunuch next to him. This eunuch is still an acquaintance of Zhang Xuan, and it is none other than Li Guofu.

It seems that the skills of eunuchs also need to be inherited, Li Guofu is the adopted son of Han Zanzhou, who guarded the eunuchs in Nanjing, after the fall of Nanjing, Han Zanzhou did not surrender, but he did not resist to the end. And he hid in the people, and Li Guofu also protected him, no

He would have been killed.

Li Guofu came from Beijing with Han Zanzhou, and the business level of managing the palace is still there. And Luo Rucai's palace cannot be compared with the palace of the Ming Dynasty at all. And it seems that there is a chief eunuch who can satisfy Luo Rucai's vanity.

As a result, Li Guofu became the upstart next to King Wu.

However, Li Guofu is also self-aware.

An An is divided, and he does not dare to be pampered and arrogant. At the moment, he's just a speaker. He opened a Ming Huang scroll and said: "King Wu said: The sage set up a hundred officials to shepherd the people, and now the south of the Yangtze River is settled, and there must be no virtuous ministers to shepherd it, so it is characteristic to call the world's virtuous talents and widows to rule the world together-----"

Li Guofu's voice is loud and penetrating, even if he stands in the corner, he can hear it clearly, plus the standard official dialect, although it is quite different from today's Mandarin, with some Jianghuai flavor. But the words are correct and round, and the voice of later broadcasters is not much different.

This royal edict is no different from the holy decree above the tone.

This holy decree is essentially the official position of the six ministries.

In fact, many things have been spread all over Nanjing before they are determined, and everyone who should know knows it. For example, Zhang Xuan. Today is just a ritual.

"Qian Qianyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, bachelor of Hanlin. He also served as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Originally, the cabinet assistant ministers wanted to add the title of a scholar, usually Wenyuan Pavilion and so on, but the Nanjing Palace was dilapidated, and Luo Rucai only built a few places where people could live, and he didn't know the twists and turns of a certain scholar, so he wrote off this title.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Qian Qianyi said.

Immediately, the six books and the six servants were rewarded one by one.

All the civil officials thanked him.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but yawn lightly, Zhang Xuan's yawning seemed to be contagious, and Yuan Shizhong, who was standing beside Zhang Xuan, also yawned.

This edict is really long and boring.

Zhang Xuan and Yuan Shizhong glanced at each other, and there was a hint of a smile in each other's eyes. Immediately put on a straight face, without him, Zhang Xuan and Yuan Shizhong were still standing in front, and the top one had seen it, and the first court meeting could not help but give face.

After a long time, the edict was finally read.

Li Guofu put this edict on a tray, and immediately a small eunuch took it away, and then another little eunuch presented a tray to it. Li Guofu immediately took out another edict.

Zhang Xuan's eyes wrinkled slightly, and he said secretly: "There are more." ”

He didn't seem to have this edict to inquire about before.

"King Wu Zhao said: meritorious merit is rewarded, there is a punishment for mistakes, the saint rules the world with this, and the official position is not up and down and respectful, the generals from the dragon, experienced in a hundred battles, must not ,-----be rewarded"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xuan's heart moved, and he guessed what this edict said

Finish.

Luo Yujiao is by Luo Rucai's side, and Zhang Xuan's news is first-class and well-informed. Naturally, I heard that many old people wanted King Wu to be knighted.

Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart: "However, haven't I heard before that this matter was rejected?" Could something have changed? ”

In a place where Zhang Xuan couldn't see, Qian Qianyi lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were a little proud.

This is Qian Qianyi's suggestion.

"The prince of the world, Yulong, won the will of the widow, and sealed the governor of the world's soldiers and horses and the order of Shangshu. The general cabinet is the commander of the world's soldiers and horses. ”

Luo Yulong stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Thank you, Father." ”

"General Yang Chengzu, who has been in the dragon for a long time, has made meritorious contributions in raising troops to resist the left thief, sealing the general of Zhenxi, the commander-in-chief and the state soldiers and horses, and the local officials listen to their moderation."

"General Li Rugui, who has been in the dragon for a long time, has a meritorious role in guarding Yangzhou against road thieves, and is a general of Jiangbei. The commander-in-chief of Yangzhou soldiers and horses, local officials listened to his moderation. ”

"General Yuan Shizhong, the town guarded Fengyang meritorious, sealed the general of Zhenbei, and led Fengyang to Deruning soldiers and horses. The government was opened, and the local officials listened to its moderation. ”

"General Zhang Yingyuan, who has been in the dragon for a long time, has meritorious service in guarding the king, has been named the commander of Nanjing Jiumen, and has the rank of general."

"General Zhang Xuan, who has been in the dragon for a long time, has meritorious service in the conquest of Jiangnan, sealed the town of Nanjiangnan, and led the soldiers and horses in southern Zhejiang."

"General Wang Long, who has been in the dragon for a long time, has meritorious service in the conquest of Jiangnan, is the general of Zhendong, and the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses of Suzhou and Hangzhou."

“-----”

If this is the case, it seems that the generals in the main hall have a reward, but this reward is not the title they think.

After Zhang Xuan listened, he had some understanding in his heart.

His previous title was General of the Right Army.

Among them, the commander of the right army is just a temporary title, which is no longer applicable now, and the general is a title given by Li Zicheng. And this time, Luo Rucai seemed to reward the whole army, but in fact, he just changed his name.

The titles of Li Zicheng, General System, and General Quan were all replaced with titles such as the so-called Zhendong and Zhenxi, and below were titles such as Captain and Captain.

Although Zhang Xuan didn't listen to the detailed explanation, he could also hear that it seemed that those who commanded more than 10,000 troops were called generals, and those who commanded 1,000 to 10,000 troops were all named captains.

Then use various titles up and down separately.

The Four Towns General is the highest rank, and the other generals are one rank lower than the Four Towns General. And among the generals of the four towns, two in-laws and two outsiders are obviously balancing.

In doing so, the actual significance is not great, but it is from the official position, and the traces of Dashun are completely washed away. Prepare for a complete break with Dashun.

Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that Luo Rucai can't wait to ascend the throne?" This is the reason that Zhang Xuan's first thought.
