The Imperial Palace is now more of a routine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhu Daming sometimes hopes that the dynasty will be able to play its due role, but sometimes he feels that it is good that it does not work.

During the Wanli period, the Imperial Palace Dynasty was not held for more than 20 consecutive years, and the government also continued to operate, sometimes the Wanli Emperor did not even participate in the small court meeting of the Wenhua Palace, and even did not meet with the courtiers for a long time, and even the cabinet ministers wanted to see the emperor, they had to make an appointment in advance, even so, there was no big thing, and the emperor did not meet. The contact between the emperor and the imperial court was maintained by the celebrant supervisor, and in this way, the Ming dynasty actually ran smoothly for decades.

Of course, Zhu Daming can't do this, his relationship with the courtiers is relatively harmonious, and now there are not many ministers who dare to openly insult Emperor Chongzhen.

On December 25, after the selection of cabinet ministers and the announcement of the list of eunuchs, the court meeting on December 25 entered the third topic, that is, to agree on the vacant post of governor.

There are three governors to be discussed, one is the governor of Zhejiang, one is the governor of Yunyang, and the other is the governor of Caojiang. Pan Ruzhen, the former governor of Zhejiang, was condemned as a eunuch because he initiated the establishment of a living shrine, and was dismissed from office and imprisoned.

The original governor of Yunyang, Liu Guangfu, although not the Wei Party, is more serious than the Wei Party, the Wei Party is only befriending the internal servants and forming a party for personal gain, while Liu Guangfu and others are making friends with the clan and plotting against each other, although it is lighter than Cui Wensheng and Li Kezhuo's crimes of colluding with the clan and poisoning the monarch's father, but there is only one way to die.

The other is Liu Zhixuan, the original governor of Caojiang, who was in charge of the Yangtze River Naval Division and the river defense along the Yangtze River, and is now designated as the Wei Party, and he will still be beheaded and confiscated. These people have now been imprisoned, and although their original positions are not as important as those of the Nine Border Towns, it is not possible to be empty for a long time.

The position of governor of Zhejiang is prepared for Fan Jingwen, the imperial history of the Inspectorate, this Fan Jingwen does not have too outstanding talent, but he is better than being loyal to his duties, especially after the death of Chongzhen in history, he is one of the martyrs among the Beijing officials and courtiers, and such a person must be reused as long as he has the opportunity.

Therefore, when the selection of officials was reported, Zhu Daming's first thought was Fan Jingwen. As for the governor of Yunyang, originally there was no such position, and after Liu Guangfu served as governor of Yunyang for a few years, he changed the governor to the governor, and he was directly promoted to the position. Now that Liu Guangfu has been arrested, the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials have proposed to abolish the governorship and restore the original governor's position.

For the governor of Yunyang, Zhu Daming chose Zhang Yundeng from among the candidates who came up from the official department. Zhang Yundeng, a jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli, successively served as the director of the Criminal Department, the deputy envoy of the Hexi military garrison, and the left of Shanxi participated in politics, managed the army, and the people, and was also a loyal minister. In the fourth year of Chongzhen's history, Zhang Yundeng was killed in battle with thieves.

These two candidates were put forward and quickly passed. However, the candidate for the governor of Caojiang, the candidate recommended by the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials, was Zhao Zhilong, the commander of the Southern Capital, and Zhu Daming disagreed, and was replaced by Wu Weiying, the Marquis of Gongshun.

However, when it came to the court meeting, as soon as this person was elected, he was opposed by many people, on the grounds that Wu Weiying was a Mongolian, but he was a Mongolian who was obedient when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was a Mongol, but after all, he was a Mongolian.

Zhu Daming didn't mind this, these Mongolians who had long been naturalized had many cases of becoming high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Ming Dynasty, such as the fierce general Man Gui. However, there were many people among the courtiers who objected, and Zhao Zhilong, the Yicheng Bo who was taken out by Zhu Daming before, was mentioned by other people, saying that this person had a good name, and his ancestors had served as the governor of Jiangfang for several generations.

But no matter what the courtiers said, it was impossible for Zhu Daming to agree to appoint this Zhao Zhilong, and the other courtiers certainly didn't know what happened later, but Zhu Daming knew very well that this Zhao Zhilong was appointed as the governor of Nanjing Defense when the Manchu Qing Dynasty besieged Nanjing, but he didn't make any preparations, and when the Qing army arrived, he immediately led the remaining civil and military ministers to surrender Kaicheng.

Such a person, Zhu Daming wants to kill him now, how can he use him. But now that these things have not happened, it does seem reasonable to make him think in the current situation.

As for Zhu Daming's desire to appoint Wu Weiying, there is no way to do it, after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, in order to consolidate the imperial power, he once killed the heroes, and many of the heroes who were divided during the Hongwu period were killed, and after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he killed a group of nobles who followed Emperor Jianwen and refused to surrender him. It's a pity that this group of capable nobles and military ministers were wiped out in the Tumubao Incident, and now most of these nobles left in Nanjing and Beijing are waste, which can't be used at all, and Zhu Daming doesn't want to use them.

Like Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying, he can be regarded as a little conscientious and responsible, and the martyrdom of the whole family after the death of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as truly resting with the country.

Seeing that the courtiers did not agree with Wu Weiying, and Zhu Daming proposed the candidate of Liu Xiaozu, the Marquis of Xinle, there were still some imperial historians who disagreed, some said that Liu Xiaozu could not move lightly in the Shenji Battalion, and some said that Liu Xiaozu did not understand the Jiangfang and did not appoint him.

Looking at the courtiers in the hall who were arguing with each other, Zhu Daming was having a headache, and suddenly heard Wen Tiren, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, say: "Your Majesty, if there is a virtuous person among the nobles and nobles, the minister has heard of one, that is, Guo Zhenming, Marquis of Boping." Although this person is a noble relative, he is also dedicated to learning, and he has also achieved fame before he became a knight. Your Majesty, please be clear. ”

Wen Tiren looks elegant, dignified, although later generations were included in the traitorous ministers, but in the late Ming Dynasty ministers are known for being good at speculating on the thoughts of Emperor Chongzhen, it is because of this, Emperor Chongzhen in history promoted him directly from the position of the Ministry of Rites to the cabinet, and later tried to make him the first assistant.

The reason why Wen Tiren nominated Guo Zhenming is that this imperial relative does have a good name, but the most important thing is that he recently discovered that the emperor in front of him attaches great importance to family affection. Whether it is the appointment of Gong Yonggu and Wang Guoxing, or the appointment of Liu Xiaozu, including the nomination of Liu Xiaozu this time, it all shows this point.

Liu Xiaozu is just the elder brother of the emperor's biological mother, the teacher Mu Ne, and there is nothing outstanding, but the emperor is trustworthy, which shows that the emperor attaches more importance to the new appointment because of family affection in ability and family affection. In this case, Boping Hou is a suitable candidate, the first Boping Marquis Guo Weicheng is the uncle of Emperor Taichang, and the current Boping Marquis Guo Zhenming is also the cousin of today's saint. Others don't know the relationship, but as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, Wen Tiren, who is in charge of the affairs of the lords and nobles, is very clear.

Sure enough, as soon as Wen Tiren said this candidate, the emperor's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, since it is difficult to decide on the candidate for the governor of Caojiang, I think I will simply abandon the position of governor of Caojiang." The position of the governor is too heavy, and since it is not capable of being Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying, then Yicheng Bozhao Zhilong is also incompetent. I have made up my mind, and the candidate proposed by Wen Aiqing will be adopted, and Guo Zhenming, Marquis of Boping, will be in charge of the Yangtze River Naval Division and the affairs of river defense. ”

Zhu Daming is not familiar with Guo Zhenming, the Marquis of Boping, but he is also one of the few people who died of martyrdom after the fall of Beijing.

After the end of this court meeting, Zhu Daming secretly decided that the future personnel arrangements must not be brought to the court meeting to solicit opinions, although the court cabinet ministers and governors can make people feel the emperor's open-mindedness and respect for the courtiers, but it is too much time.

The pilgrimage meeting ended, and it was almost noon. Zhu Daming had to change his order to the cabinet ministers to go to the Wenhua Hall in the afternoon to discuss matters.
