Pan Sheng's resignation did not make much waves, and after the initial shock, the courtiers did not show more attention, and the cabinet symbolically comforted him, and then Zhu Yijun approved Pan Sheng's resignation.

Of course, it is impossible for Pan Sheng to leave now, and he will have to wait until the imperial court appoints a new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the cabinet also needs to hand over the work to several other cabinet elders. In fact, Zhu Yijun cares about the position of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Yijun is more concerned about the real power department of the imperial court, rather than the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Rites will still be of great use in the future.

Regarding the selection of the Ministry of Rites, the cabinet quickly gave several choices, but they were not promoted on the spot, but in a circle. The secretary of the Ministry of Promotion, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as for who is the secretary of the Ministry of Works, he did not say.

However, Zhu Yijun can also see that the benefits of doing this are indeed visible, as well as Shen Shixing's intention to do this.

Several ministers of the six ministries have not changed over the years, and the shortest ones have been five or six years, like Wang Guangguo's for more than ten years. If the imperial court wants to appease the local ministers, it must give the local ministers the opportunity to be promoted.

Among the six departments, the easiest to be promoted with the other party is the Ministry of Works, who made it the last of the six.

There is a precedent for the local governor to be in charge of the Ministry of Works, and this is what Shen Shixing and the cabinet mean now. As for Fang Fengshi's appointment as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this is also a promotion for him, after all, the ranking of the Ministry of Rites is still above the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, there is also a saying in this, that is, Fang Feng is old at the time.

At the age of sixty-five, how many years can you live? In addition, his health has not been good, and he has been serving in the Northwest Frontier all these years, so it can be said that he has suffered a lot. The health is not good, and the age is old, and the transfer to the Ministry of Rites is also the proper meaning.

Zhu Yijun didn't want to object to this proposal, but if he only transferred Fang Fengshi to the Ministry of Rites, it is estimated that he would think about it more.

People in this era are like this, once they think about him too much, they will resign, which is not good for themselves to appease the old ministers. If the old minister misunderstands that he doesn't look down on them, it will be troublesome. Maybe even other courtiers will say that they are mean and unkind, which is even more troublesome.

"It's not impossible to go to the Ministry of Rites, it's better to enter the cabinet!" Zhu Yijun thought about it and felt that it was okay to do so.

Fang Feng was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at the time, and then entered the cabinet, and he was looking for a new cabinet scholar. According to Fang Feng's age, he can't be a cabinet scholar for a few years, and when he resigns, Zeng Xingwu should come back from Xuanda.

This arrangement is very good, but Fang Fengshi is not from Hanlin, and if he wants Fang to enter the cabinet at the right time, he has to break the convention that non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet.

Of course, Zhu Yijun naturally doesn't care about any conventions, and Zhu Yijun prefers pragmatic officials who have worked in the local area to the ministers of the cabinet. In addition, Fang Fengshi and Wang Guoguang are compatible, and they don't deal with Shen Shixing very much, which is also conducive to controlling the cabinet.

A single cabinet scholar may seem alone, but with the support of the minister's secretary, it is different.

The cabinet soon received a note, and Fang entered the Ministry of Rites at the right time and entered the cabinet.

This matter was done surprisingly smoothly, and no one took the example of non-Hanlin not being allowed to enter the cabinet to tell the emperor, everyone understood in their hearts that this son of heaven in his own family did not look at many rules, how could he value the so-called "non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet" in the officialdom, really said, except for being suppressed and reprimanded, it was useless.

Coupled with Fang Fengshi's own strength, as well as Wang Guoguang's care, and the emperor's support, a non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet, and Fang Fengshi cannot be stopped at all. Besides, this matter has not happened before, and Yang Yiqing in the Zhengde period was not from Hanlin.

In fact, there are already many people who associate the current Son of Heaven with the Son of Heaven, and many of the things they do are very similar.

However, there are also differences, the son of heaven in his own family does not like to play around, nor is he extravagant, and the eunuch he raises is also very well managed, not like Liu Jin. It's just that no one dares to say this, after all, Emperor Wuzong died quite early!

The mansion of the time.

After receiving the holy decree from Zhang Whale's hand, Fang Fengshi smiled and said, "Grandpa Zhang, use tea inside!" ”

Zhang Whale smiled and waved his hand: "There is no need to use tea, our family is still in a hurry to return to the palace, and the emperor can't be left unattended." But before leaving, our family has a few words to say to the adults, this is the emperor's explanation. ”

Hearing this, Fang Fengshi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Father-in-law, please speak!" ”

"The emperor said, the lord is not a person who has entered the cabinet, then do it well, others will look short, and when the time comes, it will be said that I don't know anyone."

Fang Fengshi hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister understands, please ask your father-in-law to play Your Majesty, the minister will do his best!" ”

Zhang Whale left, Fang Fengshi turned around and entered the house, glanced at the greeting he had written, shook his head with a wry smile, and threw it into the brazier on the side, this thing is useless, and it is useless for a short time.

He is a 20-year jinshi in Jiajing. At the beginning, he served as the governor of Yixing County, the head of the household department, the prefect of Ningguo, Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry, and the deputy envoy of military equipment. In the early years of Longqing, he made the imperial history of the right capital and the governor of Liaodong. In the first month of the fourth year of Longqing, he moved to Datong and became the governor of Datong.

Later, he became the Governor of Xuanda, the Governor of Xuanfu Datong and Shanxi Military Affairs, and later became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, originally thinking that he would go home after two years, but he did not expect to enter the cabinet, and was placed on high hopes by the emperor.

"Grandpa!" While Fang was pondering, a man in his thirties ran in from outside, and although he suppressed himself, he could still see that his face was extremely excited.

This person is none other than Fang Fengshi's grandson Fang Kan, who has no career path, and Enyin has entered the Guozijian and has no way out.

"What are you doing frizzy!" Glaring at his grandson, Fang Fengshi couldn't help but scold: "At such an age, what kind of physique has become!" ”

Regarding the matter of his grandson's study and taking the road of the imperial examination, Fang Fengshi didn't think about it anymore, and it was basically no fun. His own son can't be counted, and his grandson can't be counted on, so Fang Fengshi has no temper in this matter.

However, seeing his grandson like this, Fang Fengshi couldn't help but lose his temper.

Fang Kan didn't care, but after bowing down and confessing, he couldn't wait to say: "Grandson heard from the housekeeper that grandpa was promoted?" Got into the cabinet? ”

Glancing at his grandson, Fang Fengshi scolded with a smile: "I like promotion so much, why don't you take the exam yourself!" ”

Fang Kan was stunned, he couldn't answer this, he knew what virtue he had, if he wanted to talk about eating, drinking, and having fun, no one would be convinced, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting could also be used, but when he thought of Baguwen, Fang Kan was a big head.

It's not that I haven't taken the test, and after getting the fame of Xiucai, I have been named Sun Shan in several township exams.

Seeing that his grandson didn't speak, Fang Fengshi sighed, he also knew his grandson's virtues, and said after a moment of silence: "If you want to be an official, if you want to, go to be a civil servant, if you don't want to, then study at home honestly!" ”

After listening to his grandfather's words, Fang Kan breathed a sigh of relief, as for what he wanted to be a civil servant, it was completely outside the scope of Fang Kan's thinking.

His grandfather became a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he also became a cabinet scholar, so his status is naturally rising. I can't say that I will win the next imperial examination. This is Shuntianfu, and the examiner is not allowed to give grandpa some face.

"Alright, you go down first!" Fang Fengshi sighed helplessly: "I don't go out these days. ”

Fang Fengshi took over the Ministry of Rites and entered the cabinet, many people were dissatisfied, and impeached Fang Fengshi, but a few bigwigs acquiesced, and the impeachment did not make any waves, so many people focused their attention on the vacant Ministry of Works.

It's just that smart people know that this time the Ministry of Industry Shangshu will inevitably not be selected from the Beijing officials, nor will he be directly promoted from the squire, but will be promoted from the local governors, so there are no bigwigs involved.

As a result, countless people are still jumping up and down, and they feel that they have a chance.

Zhu Yijun glanced at the smoky miasma in front of him, threw it aside, rubbed his swollen head, Zhu Yijun said with a wry smile: "It seems that the purge of the official is imminent, and if it goes on like this, I have to die of exhaustion." ”

"What about the cabinet on the selection of the Ministry of Works?" Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Zhang Whale and asked.

"Back to the emperor, this is!" Zhang Whale said and handed over a book to Zhu Yijun.

After taking over the fold, Zhu Yijun couldn't wait to open it, and now he wanted to end this matter quickly. Seeing that Zhu Yijun was on the fold, a smile appeared on his face, in fact, he should have thought of it.

Among the local governors, there are very few who are qualified to be promoted to the rank of secretary of the Ministry of Works.

In the cabinet, Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, who ranked first, has enough qualifications and merits compared to others. There is another thing that makes Zhu Yijun care about Liang Menglong, that is, he supports shipping.

At that time, the trial shipping was Liang Menglong and Wang Zongmu, both of whom wanted to be reused.

But seeing Liang Menglong's age, Zhu Yijun was a little helpless, fifty-nine years old, which is not too young. I hope he can live a few more years, but it's time to get him to the capital, it's not appropriate to put him in Jiliao.

Zhu Yijun quickly circled Liang Menglong's name on the fold, but as for other people's names, Zhu Yijun didn't even look at them.

The twist and turn soon returned to the cabinet, and the turmoil of Pan Sheng's resignation was completely over at this time. Fang Fengshi succeeded to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and entered the cabinet, and Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the whole thing was settled.

After this personnel dispute, everyone in the court realized one thing, that is, the bigwigs of the court were old.

This is an opportunity for officials, and it is pressure for Zhu Yijun, he has relied on these old guys a lot in recent years, and while they are still there, he has to speed up the delivery! At the same time, it is also necessary to train new people as soon as possible, otherwise it will be miserable if the youth is not accepted.
