Chapter 765: Several Characters

The execution scene that took place on the street of the vegetable market outside Xuanwu Gate is still a topic of conversation among the people of Beijing many years later.

However, this "grand event", which has been talked about by the people of Beijing for many years, Emperor Chongzhen himself did not pay much attention to it.

Just after Fan Yongdou and others made a tailor-made clarification of the charges and punishments for the crime of traitor, at the small court meeting of the Wenhua Palace in the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Chongzhen discussed with the cabinet ministers and the ministers of the Ministry of Shangshu, and decided together a series of personnel appointments and dismissals that needed to be made for a period of time.

As the Puzhou Zhang family, that is, a member of the Zhang Siwei family, Zhang Ran, the governor of Suide Prefecture, of course, cannot continue to stay in office.

After all, Zhang Hub, the current person in charge of the Zhang family in Puzhou, was not only beheaded by Jinyiwei, but also skinned.

Other family members, men, women, and children, were all charged to the Yingzhou Town Guard, and all the family property was confiscated.

Under such circumstances, this Zhang Yuan, who was born in the Zhang family in Puzhou, can no longer be used no matter what.

Although he had made meritorious contributions when he resisted the thieves and defended the city of Suidezhou, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen would not bury any troubles for his future for this reason.

As a result, Zhang Yin was dismissed from his official position and reduced his status, that is, he was deprived of his Jinshi background and the official status and fame of the imperial court, and was confiscated into Yingzhou with his people in Puzhou, and was placed in charge of it.

As for what he can do after arriving in Yingzhou, whether he will be used by the Yingzhou guard, or whether he will sink and be buried, it can only depend on his own creation.

As for the position of the governor of Suide Prefecture, Emperor Chongzhen nominated the person who wrote to the emperor and instructed the emperor to abide by the etiquette of the tributary reception to Qiu Yu.

Regarding this point, Li Guoyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, only glanced at each other with Xu Guangqi, who was also the secretary of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and quickly expressed their support.

Qiu Yu's words in the letter were not instructed by one of the two ministers, and Emperor Chongzhen did not want to investigate it deeply.

As for the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Cheng Jizhi is indispensable, although the level of Zhizhou is the authority of the Ministry of Officials, but the emperor nominates and appoints, and the Ministry of Officials has no room for refutation.

What's more, this also contains some inexplicable games between the cabinet and the emperor.

The cabinet of one of them all nodded, and he, a minister who had nothing to do with it, naturally had nothing to say.

Of course, this is a misunderstanding.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen has not yet reported to such a degree as a small belly and chicken intestines, let this Zhizhou, who has criticized his Like to serve as a magistrate in Suidezhou, at least in terms of grade, not a demotion but a promotion.

Although Qiu Yu criticized the emperor in a book because of a trivial matter, it was this person's principle that Emperor Chongzhen took a fancy to.

Such a person may be a usable material for a few years if he is put in Suide, northern Shaanxi, a place where no civil officials are willing to go to exercise for a few years.

Some of the situations in the Ming Dynasty were similar to those in later generations.

The vast majority of officials like to enter Beijing as Beijing officials, that is, to serve in institutions directly under the emperor such as ministries, temples, and government supervisors of the Ming court.

Secondly, it is Jiangnan, then Beizhili, then the Central Plains, then Huguang, and finally the southwest.

As for the northwest and outside the Shanhaiguan, they were all places that the Ming Dynasty officials were reluctant to go to at that time.

Not to mention staying away from the center, the most important thing is the two places outside the Guanwai and the northwest, one bordering Jianyu and the other bordering Mongolia, both of which are places with serious border troubles.

Especially since the Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, civil and military officials have regarded these two places as a dangerous road, and they have to avoid serving in these two places in every possible way.

In fact, it is true that many ministers and officials died on the border problems in the northwest and northeast.

Because of this, more than a year has passed since the thieves in the north of many counties in northern Shaanxi were killed after the thieves broke through the city and looted it.

The long distance and the lack of tranquility are of course a reason.

However, the reluctance to go is the root cause that everyone knows but cannot say.

is also for this reason that everyone knows, when Emperor Chongzhen arranged this Like who had just written a letter to criticize him to the post of governor of Suide Prefecture, although he was not retaliatory at all, it was considered a retaliatory measure by many officials.

As for the shortage of personnel in each section and the imperial history of the Inspectorate, the Ministry of Officials reported some supplementary candidates, but Emperor Chongzhen did not appoint them.

At this time, it is not the time to strengthen the Inspectorate and the Six Science Corridors.

These discipline inspection and supervision institutions in the Ming Dynasty were often the base camps of Qingliu civil officials.

These people are high in the temple, and they don't understand the actual government affairs, but they like to talk nonsense, and they have to interject in everything.

According to the system design of the early Ming Dynasty, these small and powerful positions should be an important means used by the emperor to restrain the ministers of the court, but after the late Ming Dynasty, they gradually became a tool for party struggle.

The existence of these people has gradually become specialized in finding faults and picking thorns.

In times of peace and prosperity, the presence of these people is a must.

But now, in this chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, let the Inspectorate and the Six Branch Corridors be full of people, and a group of people have nothing to do all day long, specifically to find faults and pick thorns, isn't that adding to their own blockage!

And after Emperor Chongzhen suppressed the Ministry of Officials' remarks on supplementing the Inspectorate and the Six Branch Corridors, whether it was the cabinet or other scholars of the Six Ministries, they also looked at it coldly.

For them, the existence of the six departments is specially designed for them, and it is also a good thing for them that there is no shortage of personnel.

In this way, with the succession of Emperor Chongzhen now, the power of the Six Branch Corridor has not only been repeatedly deprived and restricted, but also the lack of staff has not been effectively supplemented.

In addition to Zhang Yin's dismissal and reduction, Qiu Yu's top vacancy, and the emperor's postponement of the addition of the inspectorate and the six imperial historians, in the past few days, Emperor Chongzhen and the cabinet and officials have successively set a series of matters for the appointment and removal of officials.

Many of the prefectures, prefectures, and counties to which Xuanfu and Datong belonged were conquered by Jianfu, and a large number of officials were killed, so at this time, it was natural to reappoint a group.

After communicating with the new governor of Xuanda, Yang He, the governor of Datong, Fan Fucui, and the governor of Xuanfu, Li Yangchong, the officials also submitted a report on the appointment and dismissal of officials to the cabinet and the emperor.

At the same time when Fan Yongdou and others were executed by Ling Chi on the vegetable market street outside Xuanwu Gate, Emperor Chongzhen and a group of ministers set up the appointment and dismissal of some urgently needed civil officials in the Wenhua Palace.

For example, the merger of Datong Right Guard and Yulin Wei as the right Yuzhou of Datong Governor Zhili, and the appointment of Zhang Shenyan as the first governor of the new Right Yuzhi Prefecture in the matter.

Although the power of the officials is not small, it is only the seventh grade, and now although it is an external appointment, the grade of a Zhili Prefecture is much higher than that of the seventh grade.

However, all the cabinet and ministers present knew that this was actually a kind of open rise and dark fall.

Because of the governor of a border state, how can it be compared to the officials in the middle of the matter?

However, this matter involves Zhang Shenyan himself, and he is in the middle of the matter, so he can only avoid this issue and cannot participate in the discussion.

In this way, there will be no obstacles to the adjustment arrangements made by the officials in accordance with the emperor's intentions.

At the same time, the hereditary right guard commander of the Datong Right Guard Ma family was changed to a civil official Tongzhi, and Ma Kun, who survived the Right Guard Ma family, served as the Right Jade Tongzhi.

Yulinwei's commander and commander Tongzhi were reappointed to the positions of Tongzhi and Tongzhi of Youyuzhou at the same time.

In addition, according to the emperor's prior instructions, in the plan reported by the ministry, Datong Zuowei and Yunchuanwei, which originally belonged to Shanxi Xingdu Division, were merged into Zuoyun Zhili Prefecture.

In fact, this is also the origin of Shanxi Youyu and Zuoyun in later generations.

Now, it is just decades ahead of Emperor Chongzhen.

The arrangement after the merger of Datong Zuowei and Yunchuan Wei was simpler, because the two guards had previously been conquered and slaughtered by the Zhenglan Banner led by Mang Gurtai, and most of the hereditary guards were killed, and a small part fled without a trace, which also saved the trouble of resettlement for the current imperial court.

For this newly merged candidate of Zuoyun Zhizhou, Emperor Chongzhen crossed out the recommendation of the Ministry of Officials, and personally wrote down the name of Liu Zhifeng, the imperial history of Henan Province of the Inspectorate.
