Chapter 80: Seizure of Power

There are a few yamen in Daming that are not of high grade, but they have a lot of benefits.

The first place must be the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, although Hanlin is also ridiculed as Qingshui Hanlin, but Hanlin is the reserve training yamen of the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, which is very important. For Hanlin, everyone is not looking at the present, but your future.

The second level is the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who is clear and has a high status, and when he inspects the place, he also has great power.

It's just that these two yamen are Qingshui yamen, but there are also yamen with low official rank, but they are really fat and oily.

There are four such yamen, they are the Ministry of Officials Literature and Selection Division, the Ministry of Officials Examination and Merit Division, the Military Department of the Military Department, and the Military Department of the Treasury Department.

Needless to say, the place where officials are selected, it is difficult to say about the high-level ones, but the middle and low-level officials, all of them are to do it. The meritorious examination department is a place to rate officials, and if you are given an inferior grade, then you will be miserable.

These two yamen are not big, and their official positions are not high, but their status is very high.

The military selection department of the military department has similar responsibilities to the cultural selection department of the ministry of officials, but it is just a place to select military generals.

The Arsenal Division, specializing in the replacement, manufacturing, storage, and research and development of ordnance, is a natural fertilizer flow. Daming's fire guns are ten percent bad and seventy percent bad, and they have their responsibilities in this, and the corruption is extremely serious.

Zhang Juzheng has been in the dynasty for more than 20 years, how can he not understand the importance of the Gong Examination Division and the Wu Xuan Division.

The emperor's examination division slashed to the ministry of officials, and the military selection division slashed to the military department.

If the merit examination of the military is not in the hands of the officials, but in the hands of the military itself, it will definitely make the military generals not so afraid of civilian officials, and the generals will not be frightened by a royal envoy.

As the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, I am not under your control, what can you do with me?

Not to mention the Military Selection Division, which is the place where generals are selected, which directly determines the promotion of a military general.

When the Examination Division and the Military Selection Division are taken back by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, then this power will be great. It may not be able to completely change the trend of civilian officials overpowering military generals, nor can it sweep away the situation of using civil and military forces, but it can definitely make countless military generals rejoice.

Zhang Juzheng sat in his chair and was speechless for a long time, he knew that his student emperor would give him a problem, but he didn't expect it to be such a big problem.

This matter will inevitably cause an uproar, these two seemingly inconspicuous yamen, but too many people are involved, many of them are their own people. Zhang Juzheng could also guess the emperor's thoughts, which was to take the appointment of generals into his own hands.

Although it is said that it is assigned to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, who are the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?

All of them are nobles of the dynasty, these people have been suppressed by the literati for so many years, they will definitely not pee into the same pot with the civil officials. They will inevitably support the emperor, and basically they will listen to whatever the emperor says.

This is a matter of taking power from their own hands, and even taking benefits, and they will oppose it?

Impossible!

Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry, quietly watching Zhang Juzheng pondering there, from beginning to end, Zhu Yijun had a faint smile on his face, waiting for Zhang Juzheng's decision.

In fact, Zhu Yijun thought very clearly, if he did this matter after he took the government, the resistance would be very great, and there might not be any chaos. This is also the reason why he needs Zhang Juzheng, and only Zhang Juzheng, who is now in power, can suppress it.

The emperor directly presses down, and it is likely that there will be a greater backlash, which is the reason why the emperor appoints eunuchs, and the contradiction is transferred!

After a while, Zhang Juzheng finally spoke: "Is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies controlled by the cabinet in the future?" ”

Restrained by the Cabinet?

How is that possible, that's not a change of soup or a change of medicine.

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has always been controlled by the emperor, when has it been controlled by the cabinet?" ”

Zhang Juzheng's question is very inappropriate, but what he said is the matter, the current cabinet is no longer the cabinet of the year, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces is no longer the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces of the year. Although the military governor's office stated that it was not subject to the control of the cabinet on the surface, it was in fact subject to the control of the cabinet.

Zhang Juzheng's question is to put it bluntly, he is asking Zhu Yijun whether he will have to go through the cabinet in the future of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Zhu Yijun's answer is also very simple, but the expression of the meaning is also very clear, that is: no!

"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter, the minister needs to discuss it with a few ministers!" Zhang Juzheng spoke after a while.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Mr.!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng leave, Zhu Yijun stood up from the dragon chair, and the smile on his face was even better. After all, his layout in the past few years has not been in vain, and finally made Zhang Juzheng realize that he is the emperor and the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty.

From the temptation to fight for the forbidden army, to the student's impeachment of Zhang Juzheng's protection, to the bright muscles of the love incident, and finally to Zhang Juzheng's statement when he was at home, he finally reached a tacit understanding with Zhang Juzheng.

Thinking about the past few years, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after several years of layout, several years of forbearance, and several years of arrangement, it was finally time to harvest.

Starting from killing Feng Bao, he subdued Zhang Whale, subdued Zhang Cheng, and pushed Zhang Hong to the top. promoted Feng Bao's godson Xu De, arranged for his cronies to be eunuch Chen Ju, and cleaned up the palace people at the end, and completely completed his mastery of the Forbidden City.

Reaching out to the forbidden army, mastering the palace ban, and holding the Jingying in his own hands, maybe it is nothing now, but after the school palace comes out of a large number of students, the Jingying will become a strong army sooner or later.

Now if I reach out to the military department and the official department, and take back some power to the governor's office of the five armies, if this matter is done, I will definitely establish a good image in the military, and this is a good start.

Although the border army of the Ming Dynasty was strong, they also understood the advantages of the Examination Division and the Wu Xuan Division in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Although the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies seems to exist in name only, these nobles of the Ming Dynasty have been in the military camp for so many years, they may not be able to fight, they are corrupt, but there are definitely a lot of party henchmen, and if they suppress the civil officials here, then this matter will come naturally.

This is also why Zhu Yijun wants to put the Military Selection Division and the Election Division in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armed Forces, instead of being independent, and he wants to use the hands of the nobles to suppress the voices of the military, especially those voices that are encouraged by civilian officials.

When he held the Gong Xuan Division and the Wu Xuan Division in his hands, it would open the door for himself to completely grasp the military power.

"Emperor, it's time to eat!" Zhang Whale saw that Zhu Yijun was in a good mood, and the smile on his face increased: "Just now, the queen mother asked someone to pass the word, and the queen mother personally stewed soup and wanted to invite the emperor over for dinner." ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay, then go and drink soup!" ”
