Chapter 81 Cabinet Meeting
Zhu Yijun went to Kunning Palace to drink soup, but Zhang Juzheng returned to the cabinet with a heavy heart.
At this moment, Zhang Juzheng, although he has no expression on his face, but his heart is very complicated, with his political wisdom, of course, he knows the intention of his emperor students to do this, but this is also a difficult choice for him.
"Elder Zhang Ge!"
Seeing Zhang Juzheng coming in, Shen Shixing, who saw Zhang Juzheng, greeted Zhang Juzheng with a smile.
"Call a few ministers, let's discuss something!" Zhang Juzheng nodded at Shen Shixing, and then spoke.
Shen Shixing was stunned, Zhang Juzheng had just come back, did he want to stand up?
However, Shen Shixing could also say anything, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
After a short time, the five ministers of the cabinet sat together, and the tea was served, and the expressions of the five people were a little solemn. As soon as Zhang Juzheng came back, he convened everyone to discuss the matter, no matter what he said, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.
"I just went to see Your Majesty, and Your Majesty told me something."
Zhang Juzheng didn't go around the bush, and directly told what happened.
Several ministers did not speak, and they were all slowly digesting Zhang Juzheng's words. Sure enough, it was a big deal, and for a while, several people didn't know how to speak.
"That's a big deal!" Lu Tiaoyang said with a sigh.
"Your Majesty, this is going to give the military power to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!" Zhang Siwei also interfaced.
A few people didn't say anything about the ancestral system, in fact, to the point where they certainly knew what was going on. On this occasion, mentioning the ancestral system can only be laughing and generous.
"I want to ask you what you mean!" Zhang Juzheng's eyes swept over several people and spoke.
"The Election Division and the Military Selection Division, these two yamen are very critical, and there are many officials involved, the Election Division is okay to say, but I just went to the military generals, but the Military Selection Division was completely taken away from the Ministry of War, which is cutting the power of the Ministry of War!"
Zhang Siwei pondered for a moment and spoke.
"Your Majesty, you don't want Wenchen to be in charge of martial affairs!" As soon as Lu Tiaoyang's words came out, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became a lot more serious.
"In fact, Your Majesty has already had this symptom!" Shen Shixing also spoke: "From the forbidden army to the Beijing camp, Your Majesty has always been in charge of military power, and now there is such a practice, which is not very unexpected. ”
Zhang Juzheng coughed: "Now is not the time to talk about this, what I want to talk about is the attitude of the cabinet!" ”
A few people were silent, they didn't dare to open this mouth!
If you agree, you will definitely face a large number of criticisms, and if you don't agree, it will be equivalent to offending the new emperor. Although they are cabinet ministers, if they offend the emperor, things will become difficult.
Among the five cabinet ministers, Shen Shixing and Ma Ziqiang are not highly qualified and cannot afford to carry such a pot.
Zhang Siwei is wise to protect himself, he naturally will not fight against the emperor in this matter. Not to mention Lu Tiaoyang, this old man is basically the mascot of the cabinet now, and he will offend the emperor when he is old, and he can't do it!
"I'm waiting for the old horse of Zhang Ge to look forward!" Zhang Siwei thought about it and spoke first.
The other three chimed in.
In fact, for this kind of result, Zhang Juzheng had already guessed that this was not a strange thing at all. The emperor waited until he came back to talk about this matter, not for this. If you're not there, no one will do it.
The emperor wanted to let himself suppress the opposing voices, and Zhang Juzheng also knew that he could suppress it, and only he could suppress it.
"Then do as Your Majesty says!" Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and said.
In fact, Zhang Juzheng didn't have much feeling about this matter, and his next step was to settle the land, not reform the military and government. Although such an approach will necessarily weaken one's own power, one's power is not in the military.
"Let's talk to the two Shangshu!" Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: "Call the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate as well, don't make a mess." ”
The matter was settled in the cabinet.
In the afternoon, the cabinet found the military department Shangshu Fang Feng and the official department Shangshu Wang Guoguang to come over, and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also came, plus the five cabinet ministers, and several people began to discuss this matter again.
Hearing this news, the two Shangshu were immediately not calm.
Your Majesty, this is going to cut power!
No one said that there was a lot of harm for military generals to be in power, no one said anything about the rebellion in Fanzhen in the Tang Dynasty, and no one talked about the Chenqiao Mutiny, they all knew where the focus of this matter was.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Guoguang spoke first: "Your Majesty is determined to do this? ”
Zhang Juzheng sighed and said, "Hasn't Your Majesty been doing it all the time?" From the forbidden army to the Beijing camp, and now to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. ”
"If we agree to this matter, it will definitely be a boiling matter, and Zhang Ge Lao's life will be sad!" Wang Guoguang looked at Zhang Juzheng, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you want us to appease the people below!" ”
For this matter, there must be a lot of people who make trouble, and this is the difficult thing to do.
If something happens to Wenhua's audience, the emperor will definitely be unhappy.
"I can't do it right now!" Zhang Juzheng didn't react, and said lightly: "Since we have agreed, let's reply to Your Majesty!" After deciding on this matter, Zhang Juzheng turned his head to look at Chen Ji, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate: "Wen Hui, you are staring at the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”
"Good!" Chen Wei nodded and didn't say anything else.
After Zhu Yijun got Zhang Juzheng's reply, the news also spread instantly in the officialdom of the capital, which can be regarded as another major political event in the Ming Dynasty since Zhu Yijun ascended the throne.
When he got the news, Zhu Yijun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yijun sat quietly, he knew that this was Zhang Juzheng, and it would be noisy to change another person, this was not what he wanted, nor did he want to see him, he hoped that this matter could be landed safely.
"Staring at a little bit of the capital, if someone makes trouble in tandem, Dongchang doesn't have to scruple and arrest people directly!"
Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and commanded lightly.
In fact, Zhu Yijun is still worried that even if Zhang Juzheng is pressing, there will definitely be people who are unwilling. These two yamen are veritable fat differences, and no one will be willing to hand them over.
In addition, those who think that the generals are vulgar and not enough to be in front of the public, and even want to prevent the generals from supporting their own dignity, will definitely jump out.
"Yes, Emperor!" Zhang Whale was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly agreed.
"Remember, check carefully, have tangible evidence, and don't make false accusations." Zhu Yijun finally instructed: "The people who are staring at the Military Election Division and the Election Division, and the people from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War are also keeping an eye on them." ”
"The old slave understands!" Zhang Jing nodded hurriedly, and he also heard the seriousness in Zhu Yijun's words.
