Chapter 398: Creation of a New Battalion
Now that this decision has been decided, all that remains is the details, and the discussion of this detail involves the official position setting of the entire yamen, which is not something that Li Mi can talk casually.
However, Li Mi is the initiator, so Zhu Yijun said to Li Mi: "What other suggestions do you have for the development of firearms*?" ”
Li Mi actually thought about it a long time ago, this new type of * is too rebellious, and it is impossible to be in the hands of others, at least the technology must be firmly controlled, which must be fought for, so he dared to say to Zhu Yijun.
"Emperor Qiqi, when the minister was in Suzhou, he had a friendship with Shi Chongsheng, a master craftsman in Hangzhou, Xiang Mu, a master craftsman, and Sun Zhiru, the former prefect of Fuzhou and a reclusive ...... in Suzhou Tiger Hill, they were all great masters, and the minister wanted them to enter the new camp and be responsible for the research and development of new firearms and * "
This Shi Chongsheng and Xiang Mu are famous, it is the Qixiang Palace where they are now, and they were also repaired by Xiang Mu and Shi Chongsheng in the early years, since this new artifact is related to the Ming Dynasty's struggle for hegemony in the world, such an important matter, it is best to invite these two to move.
In fact, when the temple was repaired earlier, Zhu Yijun had summoned Shi Chongsheng, but the old man said that he was not sick.
Now that he heard that Li Mi could invite these two, he was naturally overjoyed, and said to Li Mi: "Okay! As long as you can get these two people to be moved, it's a great achievement! ”
Although Zhao Zhigao and Shen Yiyi and others are all cabinet ministers, there are still civil officials in the Shenji Battalion, and they naturally want to get a piece of the pie, and it is impossible to make this new battalion completely a carnival of the generals.
But at the technical level, they really can't compete with Xiang Mu and Shi Chongsheng, although Li Mi is light-hearted, but he can't refuse to propose these two candidates!
So they pointed the finger at Sun Zhiru and vacated the vacancy of Sun Zhiru, so that they could install their own people and get a share of this piece of fat!
"The two great masters are just that, they deserve their name, if they can be invited, it must be the luck of the imperial court, but this Sun Zhiru has no intention of officialdom, obsessed with obscene and clever skills, he has left Fuzhou earlier, and now he is brought forward, does it have to encourage this unhealthy trend?"
Shen has always raised this point with the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, but the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials said at this time.
"Have you forgotten? This Sun Zhiru entered Beijing a few years ago, and now he is an official of Shuntian Mansion, although he is only from the official position of the sixth grade, but he can be regarded as conscientious and doing well. ”
"What? Wasn't Sun Zhiru dismissed from office in the Fuzhou prefect, and how did he become the governor of Beijing again? Shen Yijun and the others were also surprised, but Zhu Yijun's face was already a little wrong.
Because Sun Zhiru escorted Cheng Yu into Beijing, it was a candidate recommended by Mo Hengluan, and Zhu Yijun also had a deep impression of this Sun Zhiru, because this person was too young when he was promoted, and he was less than thirty when he served as the prefect, such an official was rare in the Ming Dynasty!
The officials of the Ministry of Officials mentioned it in a timely manner, in fact, they also wanted to remind everyone present that such an abnormal personnel transfer, if there was no greeting from the emperor, the Ministry would never have done so.
Besides, the personnel transfer issued by the emperor must go through the cabinet before it can be transmitted to the ministry, what are you ministers doing, you can't even remember Sun Zhiru!
The Beijing government officials are different from other petty officials from the sixth grade, such an important position has been changed, and these ministers have no impression, which is really disappointing!
Of course, Zhao Zhigao is old and a peacemaker, and Shen has always been in order to enter the cabinet these days, and there has been a lot of trouble in the court, and the ministers have not noticed Sun Zhiru, which is reasonable.
But now that Li Mi has brought Sun Zhiru to the new camp, he is going to occupy a position, where are they willing to follow!
However, Zhu Yijun was not thinking about this problem, he asked Li Mi: "Sun Zhiru is already the official of the Beijing government, this position can be big or small, if he leaves, who can take it?" ”
With such a question, it is obvious that Zhu Yijun has agreed with most of them, who will take the position, this should be a question for the officials and ministers to consider, but he even asked Li Mi's opinion on this question!
Li Mi didn't dare to make an inch, and said to Zhu Yijun very cautiously: "This is a personnel transfer of courtiers, and the emperor and the ministers have their own ideas, and the ministers don't dare to talk nonsense......"
Wu Weizhong also knew that this might be a temptation by Zhu Yijun, wanting to see if Li Mi would swell up because of this new yamen, and Wu Weizhong was also relieved to see that Li Mi was so cautious.
Zhu Yijun smiled with satisfaction: "Well, yes, not arrogant or impatient, I really don't have anyone to trust, but your Beijing Mansion Governor is a hot position, otherwise I won't let Sun Zhiru do it, since you want to use Sun Zhiru, you have to recommend a reserve candidate to me, if there is no such candidate to replace, Sun Zhiru can only obediently stay in the Beijing Mansion Governor." ”
Zhu Yijun's hint couldn't be more obvious, how could Li Mi not hear it.
Zhu Yijun's early submission is the greatest praise for him, with his status, it is unrealistic to want to get a reward of real power, and it is impossible for him to stay in the new camp, otherwise he will not let Wu Weizhong take charge.
So Li Mi has to obediently continue to be his sesame petty official, this Beijing government official is also his old business, although the capital forces are complicated, the Beijing government official is also the most tricky official position, a little stronger than Daxing and Wanping, the two county orders attached to Guo County, those two are definitely the ninth generation of the official who did not cultivate, and the Beijing government official is not much better.
But if you want to lift Sun Zhiru up, you can only make some sacrifices, and you have to go hard, so Li Mi recommended himself to Zhu Yijun.
"Your Majesty, when Wechen was in Suzhou, the errand was to break out of prison with a criminal name, and then he was on an errand in Liwen, if the emperor could afford it, the hat of the Beijing government pusher, he would ask for a reward for Wechen......"
Zhu Yijun also laughed when he saw Li Mi like this, but he didn't agree, but said to Li Mi.
"You are a lot smart, but you have not been an official for a long time, and your Taoism is still shallow, you can't be an official in this capital, I won't push you into the fire pit, and there is no other use for you."
When Zhu Yijun said this, Li Mi was also a little surprised, after all, he had already made sufficient psychological preparations, and Zhu Yijun must have "crossed the river and demolished the bridge" and "hidden the bird's bow" for him.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun said to himself: "I remember that when the Wuju Mansion was examined, Mo Hengluan once recommended a few people to me, and there was one of them...... Shen Qing should be very familiar...... What's your name? ”
Shen has always heard this, and he is also a little surprised, although the holy decree has not been returned, but the saint still thinks about his own favor!
However, Li Mi's next answer poured a basin of ice water on his head!
"It's Yuan Keli, who was ordered to assist Governor Mo on his errand, and has also intersected with Lord Yuan, who is known as the blue sky of Suzhou and is quite prestigious......"
When Li Mi mentioned this, Zhu Yijun also pretended to suddenly say: "Well, yes, it's Yuan Keli, Shen Qing should still remember, right?" ”
Shen was always covered in a cold sweat, but he could only grit his teeth and nod, "Yes...... But this person ...... This person ......"
"Huh? How is this person? Can he be qualified for the position of Beijing government magistrate? Zhu Yijun saw that Shen had always been like this, and he also asked.
Shen has always been able to squeeze into the cabinet, relying on his words and feelings, how could he not know Zhu Yijun's thoughts, although he really didn't know where he offended the emperor, and the emperor would treat him like this, but the sacred heart is the will, so he pushed the boat down the river.
"Although Yuan Keli is stubborn and ignorant of the general situation, he does have a lot of talent in terms of criminal names, and this Beijing government magistrate has also done a ......"
Zhu Yijun also laughed, nodded Shen Cheng and said, "Shen Yiyi, Shen Yiyi, you have such a temperament, hum...... It's done, and it's Yuan Keli. ”
Hearing Zhu Yijun's decision, Li Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he had finally completed a step and let Yuan Keli recover in advance!
Zhao Zhigao and others were also anxious when they saw that Li Mi had taken all the important positions, and Shangshu and others in the military department were also unwilling, so they rushed to be the first, blushing and dividing up the duties of the entire new battalion.
As for Fan Rongkuan, although he was not present, the new battalion must need a lot of financial support, and the household department does not have any oil and water to fish, but it will bleed heavily, and it is the same if he is not present, and it is not his turn to make irresponsible remarks.
After all, it is a huge new yamen, and Li Mi has not made much contribution to the formation work, and he knows nothing about the officialdom of the capital, so he has no intention of watching the excitement.
Zhu Yijun saw that Li Mi was like this, but he was even more relieved, he really didn't want Li Mi to participate in politics, especially at this level of meeting, Li Mi showed irritability, he just pushed the boat down the river and let Li Mi withdraw in advance.
Li Mi was also happy to see this, so he followed Wang An out of the palace.
After returning to the residence, Zhen Mi and the others had already returned, after all, there was no court meeting yet, and Li Mi was not easy to divulge this secret, and everyone didn't ask, so they rested.
Li Mi was also hungry in the palace, so he asked the autumn and winter girl to prepare some wine and food, eat and drink with Zhen Mi, chat for entertainment, and talk about today's affairs, which is also quite relieving.
According to the autumn and winter girl, after Li Mi and Wu Weizhong left, Fan Chongxian also went to the inner house to meet Wu Baizhi, saying that he had begun to discuss family affairs.
Li Mi was not very interested in this, and was drinking wine, but a report came from outside, saying that someone had come to visit, and Li Mi was also strange, after all, not many people knew his whereabouts.
asked a question, but Menzi just said that it was an old acquaintance, Li Mi and Zhen Mi glanced at each other, and the latter said to Li Mi.
"No need to ask, the one who can know your whereabouts is either a secret agent in the palace, or it can only be Xu Shu."
As soon as Zhen Mi's words fell, a familiar voice came from outside: "Zhen Niangniang is really a delicate heart, but she can't hide it." ”
Sun Zhiru or Xu Shu, dressed in regular clothes, walked in like this, and Li Mi said to everyone: "You go back and rest first, I have something to say to the military division." ”
Zhen Mi and Qin Liangyu glanced at each other, and then went down with Qiu Dong.
Xu Shu picked up his robe and sat down, which was also quite graceful, and then said to Li Mi: "Lord Li, who is surrounded by a group of people from left to right, is also envious of others......
Li Mi didn't bother to joke with him, and asked him, "Master Xu came over tonight, what's the matter?" ”
Xu Shu smiled and said, "I'm here to thank Master Li for his promotion." ”
"You already know?" Li Mi was also a little surprised, Xu Shu already knew!
"The palace is Zhou Yu's territory, and there are not many eyeliners, but those cabinet ministers and monks have already gone back, as long as they leave the palace, the news will naturally leave the palace, and it is not difficult to inquire."
Li Mi suddenly paused, and asked Xu Shu, "Now that you already know, how do you plan to thank me?" ”
Xu Shu leaned forward slightly and said to Li Mi: "My gratitude to you is to give you a word of advice." ”
Li Mi also became serious, what advice can withstand Li Mi's promotion of him?
