I have to say that the feelings of the bosses are still very keen, and Zhu Changluo does feel a little regretful......

People say that walking too much at night will always lead to hell, and the bosses will not fall in the same trap all the time.

In fact, Zhu Changluo didn't expect today's situation, and he, like Ma Gui on the border, always thought that the ministers would readily agree in the face of Tatar demands for peace.

After all, since he entered the court, whenever there was a need to fight, basically the bosses were opposed, including this Tatar invasion.

If it weren't for Zhu Changluo leaving the old Shoufu alone, knowing his feelings and reasoning, I'm afraid the decision to send troops would not have been so smooth.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo naturally felt that they would agree to peace.

It's just that the attitude of the courtiers in the cabinet today really surprised him.

In particular, Zhen Cifu's tirade did make Zhu Changluo refresh his understanding of Wenchen.

However, there is also some regret at the same time, and it is a pity that in this way, the back hand he arranged can play a little role......

Of course, just because it doesn't work doesn't mean it doesn't work, so what needs to be done still has to be done.

"It seems that all the gentlemen have no other opinions on the matter of peace, so let's discuss another military report!"

Coughing lightly, Zhu Changluo spoke.

Another military report, naturally, is the one that came with the military report of the peace conference, which is a report for Datong General Army Dayun to ask for merit.

However, when Zhu Changluo asked about this, the ministers present had a strange look on their faces.

If nothing else, it will be their turn to be similar to Ma Gui's question.

It stands to reason that the two military newspapers were delivered at the same time, and both should be taken seriously.

But the problem is that when the bosses saw this military report, their first reaction was like Ma Gui, and they couldn't cry or laugh.

When has this been, and you still want to ask for credit?

It is true that Dayun stubbornly defended Datong in the case of insufficient troops and insisted on until the arrival of the imperial army, which was indeed a great meritorious service, and even he himself almost died because of it.

But the problem is, that was after the war! Now that the war is raging, the whole court is trying their best to prepare for the war, and it is not this time to make contributions.

Therefore, a group of bigwigs intentionally or unintentionally ignored this military report and focused on whether to negotiate peace.

However, since the Son of Heaven asked, it was difficult for everyone not to speak.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and the old Shoufu stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, this time General Dayun was ordered to be in danger, bloody battlefield, and the army and people of Datong were not lost, but they were meritorious, but according to the usual practice, the matter of the reward needs to be generalized after the return of the army, at this moment the end of the war, General Dayun is still serving on the front line, even if there is a reward, it is difficult to receive, according to the old ministers, it is better to temporarily remember the military merits, and after the end of the war, it is not too late to reward it......."

There is nothing to argue about this kind of thing, so naturally there is no need for all the ministers to say their own opinions, and the old Shoufu directly made a final decision.

But what happened next made everyone's weird feeling even stronger.

Because the Son of Heaven actually laughed......

"What Yuan Fu said is very true, the war is not over, it is indeed not appropriate to reward too much, General Da's merits can be temporarily recorded in the merit book, but since the front line has sent a military report asking for merit, it is really difficult to ignore it, it is better to make a will, praise General Dayun and the soldiers defending the city, and then reward some wine and food to the front-line soldiers, how about it?"

Zhu Changluo said politely and seriously, and looked like he sincerely consulted the opinions of the ministers below.

But the more he did this, the more the ministers below felt a little uneasy in their hearts, they were so familiar with this kind of gesture, and every time they made this gesture, there must be some pit waiting for them to jump down.

However, what makes the bosses feel painful is that after learning lessons again and again, this time they are still the same as before, and they can't see what is waiting for them in the slightest.

The words of the Son of Heaven are reasonable, and I can't find the slightest fault......

Of course, the fault can't be found, and the bosses are not without a way, for a while, the cabinet ministers, who have just faced such a major event as the peace and the war, are all silent, facing such small things as rewarding wine and food, and verbally praising them.

After Zhu Changluo finished speaking, he found that there was no sound under his head, and his face was rarely a little embarrassed.

But fortunately, not everyone is so ignorant, and at this time, it is time for a certain elder surnamed Li to come out.

"Your Majesty is wise, the minister thinks that this move is very appropriate, my front-line soldiers are fighting bloodily, nothing more than the heart of the court, at this moment Your Majesty ordered to reward and compensate, it is the emperor's grace, and it will make the army's heart lift!"

The ministers silently glanced at the righteous Li Ge Lao, but they sighed in their hearts.

After all the calculations, I didn't expect that there was such a thing in this hall, and everyone didn't say anything, but they asked him to jump out and praise him.

"Well, since all the gentlemen have no opinion, let's make an edict accordingly! It will take time to raise wine and food, so Chen Gonggong will first draft an order and send it to the military department and the household department! ”

Touching his chin, Zhu Changluo still felt embarrassed.

Although Li Tingji came out to save the scene, there were many such things where only one minister stood up, and a cheeky person like Zhu Changluo couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"This matter is like this for the time being, now that it is approaching autumn, Enke's affairs should be almost prepared, this time Enke, I will personally take the exam, in order to comfort the world's soldiers, the candidates of the same examiner, can all gentlemen have candidates in their hearts?"

As Chen Ju left, as if to ease the awkward atmosphere, Zhu Changluo asked again.

Enko!

This is a major event, Zhu Changluo's attention to this matter is almost no less than the purge of officials, in the final analysis, because in Zhu Changluo's memory, the past few years can be described as the last golden moment of the Ming Dynasty.

Basically, the characters he has an impression in his heart, whether they are good characters or bad characters, almost all appear at this time.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo has reason to believe that this Enke will, to a certain extent, lay the foundation for the Ming dynasty in the next few decades, how can he not care?

According to the Ming system, there will be one chief examiner, two deputy chief examiners, nine examiners and several marking officers.

But in fact, only the first three are the most important, because only they are the ones who really participate in the exam, and the marking officer has to seal the paper with a vague name, and it is difficult for anyone to know who changed the paper, and naturally there is no way to recognize any teacher.

In addition to the marking officer, the other examiners are actually invigilators, and the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner are responsible for maintaining order in the examination room, opening questions, and dealing with various emergencies.

The same examiner is more difficult, and each examiner is responsible for an area, and it is necessary to inspect each room in real time to ensure that the candidates do not cheat.

This time in Enke, Zhu Changluo opened Chrysostom and wanted to serve as the chief examiner in person.

So naturally, the gold content of this test is also greatly increased.

There is no doubt that the deputy examiner is the first assistant Wang Xijue and the second assistant Zhen Zhenji.

As for the same examiner, the three ministers of the cabinet naturally can't run, and Fang Congzhe of the Hanlin Academy can't run either, and what needs to be discussed is naturally the remaining five places.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, there was news from Huizhou Mansion that Ye Xiang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, invited Cheng Dawei, a master of arithmetic, to be a master of arithmetic at the behest of His Majesty, and now it has been completed, Ye Shilang and Mr. Cheng will be able to arrive in Beijing in two or three days, the old minister thinks that it is not easy to invite everyone, Ye Shilang's move is to open a precedent for me to learn arithmetic, and the position of the same examiner can be awarded to Ye Shilang!"

The first to stand up was Li Gelao.

As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, the importance of Enke, naturally no one knows better than Li Gelao, Li Gelao naturally does not have the ability to perceive opportunities like Zhu Changluo, but he can guess eight or nine without leaving ten.

This kind of thing is actually regular!

You must know that for the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, although most of them are seventy-five-year-olds, they are actually flexible and changeable in operation, and the imperial examination is held once every three years, but the rotation of high-level officials is a long time.

Six ministries, seven secretaries and five elders, these twelve court bigwigs, each of them will cause a small turmoil in the imperial court, as long as more than ten years, as short as a few years, in short, it must be much lower than the frequency of the imperial examination, generally speaking, the cabinet changes are roughly maintained at about ten years.

And officialdom is a place that pays attention to qualifications and opportunities, the so-called qualifications, naturally, is to stay up for years, a new science and technology scholar, to the level of the ministry boss, the fault is not to have such an unavoidable merit as the dragon's merit, at least 20 years of qualifications, and then see if the opportunity can enter the cabinet.

If it is unfortunate that by the time a certain official becomes the official of the ministry, the current cabinet has just been replaced for two or three years, then I am sorry, this official's career may stop at the ministry, because by the time the cabinet elders should be Zhishi, he is not a few years away from Zhishi, and the emperor will not appoint a person who has not been able to work for a few years to enter the cabinet.

Such frequent changes of important courtiers have too much impact on the court situation.

So generally speaking, every ten years there will be an important imperial examination, they will be the generation that has the opportunity to enter the cabinet, take the current situation as an example, in today's cabinet, there are four cabinet elders who are already dying, at most in two years, they will be gone.

And the people who will replace them will be Li Tingji, Fang Congzhe, Ye Xianggao's generation, and the three of them happen to be Jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli, and after Li Tingji's generation enters the cabinet, a new cabinet structure will be formed.

This structure will be able to maintain for at least ten years.

As for the person who succeeded Li Tingji, it was naturally Han Yi, Sun Chengzong and others who were still in the middle of the imperial court, because by the time Li Tingji and them should be in office, Han Yi and others should have almost reached the level of a servant in the ministry.

And Han Yi, Sun Chengzong's group of people, and they are exactly the twenty-year Jinshi of Wanli, and the seniority difference between Li Tingji and others is nearly ten years......

This year is the thirtieth year of Wanli, and Han Yi's session is another ten years apart, with a little brain, Li Tingji can guess that this imperial examination is unusual.

Not to mention, this exam was conducted by the Son of Heaven himself! The significance is extraordinary, and it doesn't mean anything if you can't enter the ranks of the same examiner, but if you enter the ranks of the same examiner, there is no doubt that you must be the minister relied on by the Son of Heaven.

What's more, in the officialdom, the strongest thing is the teacher-student relationship, the candidates who will take the exam this time, their chief examiner, that is, the seat teacher, is His Majesty the Emperor, so the one they can pull the relationship with must be the Fang Master.

Since they know that most of them will soar in the future, they naturally want to work together at this time, after all, in the court, in the end, it still depends on the intricate network of relationships.

And the network of these new science and technology scholars undoubtedly started from the entrance examination!

Therefore, this examination is not only a meeting, but also an opportunity to divide forces and strive for talents.

Among the imperial party, Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao have always been good friends, so no matter what, Li Ge Lao has to help his old friend and fight for a place.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Guo Weixian, the imperial history of Zuo Yudu!"

The next person to stand up was Zhu Geng and Zhu Ge Lao.

The people present were not stupid, and what Li Tingji could see, Zhu Ge Lao could naturally see.

In fact, Zhu Ge is always miserable, because the cabinet team of the previous generation, that is, the generation of him, Wang Xijue, Shen Li and others, was a jinshi in the last years of Jiajing, and they accumulated their qualifications in the cabinet step by step.

According to normal circumstances, the next generation to replace them should be the Jinshi of the fifth year of Wanli, so the reserve strength of the Zhejiang Party has always been based on the three Jinshi in the middle of the second year of Wanli to the eighth year of Wanli as the main training target, and Guo Weixian is one of the leaders.

But unfortunately, when Guo Weixian was supposed to succeed the cabinet, an accident happened, and now he has ascended the throne!

After Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, he naturally had to promote his own team, that is, Li Tingji's group.

So the original normal law was disrupted, which is also the biggest reason why the court public opinion was in an uproar when Li Tingji was appointed as a cabinet minister.

It's just that the first emperor was extremely majestic for many years at that time, and he was determined to pave the way for the crown prince at that time, which is now today, so he could only let Li Tingji enter the cabinet.

But in this way, the original law of cabinet rotation has been completely disrupted.

The worst thing is that the Zhejiang Party, the cabinet team, directly from the generation of Wang Xijue in the 44th year of Jiajing, to the generation of Li Tingji in the 11th year of Wanli, the interval in the middle has changed from 10 years to 16 years, which happened to bypass their reserve forces.

Zhu Geng has always been worried about this matter, but no matter what, things are already like this, the rise of the imperial party is unstoppable, and it is impossible for the Zhejiang party to give up so many years of hard work to re-cultivate others, and it is too late.

Therefore, Zhu Ge Lao can only make the last effort, do all his strength, and arch Guo Weixian up......
