Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Big Surprise
Wang Yongji was a little inexplicable when he received the holy decree, and he was promoted? Although it is said to go to Nanjing, it is a step up after all. is saying that Nanjing is quite close to home, and it is good to go to Nanjing to be an official for two years.
Although there was no result in the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng last time, Wang Yongji felt that he had done his best, and there was no way to do it if things didn't go according to people's wishes. So he took his entourage, took a boat to Nanjing, and went to take office.
After Wang Yongji left Beijing, Zhang Juzheng's team also returned to the capital.
When Zhang Juzheng arrived in the capital, many officials went to greet him, and Zhu Yijun also sent the eunuch Zhang Whale to pick him up.
Returning to his mansion again, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but sigh a little, glanced at his son who was following him, Zhang Juzheng said: "My father is back again, although it hasn't been for a long time, but there is really a feeling of a dream!" ”
Zhang Jingxiu nodded and said: "The child admires his father for being like a god, and His Majesty really summoned his father back to the court." ”
This is what Zhang Jingxiu said sincerely, the last time his father said that His Majesty would definitely summon him to return to the court, and now he really did it. In Zhang Jingxiu's heart, in addition to his admiration for his father, he also admired the emperor.
"Tomorrow my father will enter the palace to face the saint, and everything will have to wait until I see what the emperor is saying!" Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said.
The next morning, the Forbidden City, the Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yijun is going to summon Zhang Juzheng here today, this was once the place where Zhang Juzheng gave Zhu Yijun a lesson, and summoning Zhang Juzheng here is naturally of special significance. Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhu Yijun did not have the slightest expression on his face.
"Is Mr. Zhang still in Cining Palace?" Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, Elder Zhang Ge is still in Cining Palace!" Zhang Whale hurriedly bowed and said.
Zhu Yijun nodded, but didn't speak, Zhang Juzheng was summoned by the Empress Dowager Li after entering the palace, and Zhu Yijun also understood that this was a communication between teachers and parents, and he didn't need to think about it to know what the two of them would talk about.
The topic will definitely not leave her, and Empress Dowager Li estimates that she will let Zhang Juzheng be strict with herself.
"Your Majesty, Elder Zhang Ge is here!" Zhang Whale walked to Zhu Yijun's side and said cautiously.
In fact, the atmosphere of the entire palace today is not quite right, Zhang Ge Lao entered the palace, and everyone was subconsciously cautious. Especially the eunuch palace maid who served Zhu Yijun closely, it can be described as trembling.
"Minister Zhang Juzheng, see the emperor!" After Zhang Juzheng walked in, he saluted Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun walked over quickly and helped Zhang Juzheng up, and said with a smile: "Mr. has worked hard all the way, I miss Mr. very much these days, let me take a good look at Mr.!" Saying that, Zhu Yijun pulled Zhang Juzheng to look at it.
Compared with when he left Beijing, Zhang Juzheng's state looks much better, and his whole spirit is enough.
Zhang Juzheng's appearance is naturally not said, in this era, looking at the face is more serious, it is easy to be an official if he looks ugly, and he is a treacherous person, basically this official road is finished, the reason for this is not that he looks obscene?
"Sir's voice is still the same, I am very relieved!" Saying that, Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Whale: "Help Mr. a chair, I want to have a good chat with Mr." ”
After the two of them sat down, they began to chat, basically talking about family life, Zhang Juzheng was concerned about Zhu Yijun's wife, and Zhu Yijun was concerned about Zhang Juzheng's dead father.
The sense of alienation gradually subsided, and the conversation between the two gradually deepened.
"In these days, when the gentleman was away, I checked the affairs of the Beijing camp, and I found something." Zhu Yijun said with a calm face: "Regarding the appointment and dismissal of military generals, the current system of the imperial court has a big negligence!" ”
Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, his face was silent, but he was also a lot calmer in his heart.
Before returning to Beijing, Zhang Juzheng had actually thought that he, the emperor's student, must have prepared a big thing for himself. Now it seems that this is really the case, Zhang Juzheng did not speak, waiting for his students to say.
"The power to promote, appoint and dismiss the generals lies with the officials, and I feel that this matter is very inappropriate." Zhu Yijun said lightly.
As soon as this sentence came out, Zhang Juzheng's body was shocked, the promotion and appointment of officials were not placed in the ministry, so where was it? It's really a big surprise, but this surprise seems a little too big, right?
In the matter of the previous training of the Beijing camp, Zhu Yijun only used the news of Zhang Juzheng's return to Beijing to suppress it, the purpose was to let Zhang Juzheng carry the current pot.
In Zhu Yijun's view, a large part of the reason is that the official hat is in the hands of the civilian official. The official hat of the officials in charge of the world, the military generals can't reach into it, how can they not be crushed.
The promotion, appointment and dismissal of military generals are all in the hands of the officials, and with the local civil and imperial forces, it is strange that military generals can hold their heads up.
Your promotion has to be decided by others, how can you do it if you don't talk to others?
What Zhu Yijun wants is to take back this power, and the appointment of a military general is not in the Ministry of Officials, but directly in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, which is giving the Governor's Office of the Five Armies the personnel power. Needless to say, the importance of personnel rights is not to be said, otherwise why would the secretary be in charge of personnel?
The Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces obtained this power, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces is responsible to itself, which is equivalent to obtaining this power by itself.
With the power to appoint military generals, the status of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces will naturally be greatly enhanced, and the nobles who control the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces will naturally rise to the top, so that the civilian clique can cut off a hand extended to the military.
"The officials are all civilian officials, and they are not in the army, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions in many cases." Zhu Yijun didn't look at Zhang Juzheng either, and continued.
What should local generals do if they want to be promoted? Then you have to be promoted, and whoever will protect you, of course, is the local civil official, and this is back to that endless cycle. Your promotion and dismissal are pinched in the hands of others, can you get up?
If you want an army that is like an arm, you must take back this power so that you don't make the general inferior.
A military general of the same grade wants to kowtow when he sees a civilian official, what is this? This is an army with a broken backbone, a broken backbone, and you expect them to fight? Don't even think about it, so Zhu Yijun has been planning this matter for a long time.
"I want to set up a merit examination department and a military selection department under the Governor's Mansion of the five armies, the merit examination department is responsible for the examination and teaching of the merits of military generals, and the military selection department is responsible for the promotion of generals." After saying this, Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Zhang Juzheng: "I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”
Zhang Juzheng is silent, Wu Xuan Division? Examining the Division?
He is no stranger to these two yamen, the Wuxuan Division is from the Ministry of War, and the Department of Examination is from the Ministry of Officials, and the emperor is ruthless with this knife!
