Chapter 632: General Zhenguo

Although Yang Tinghe had a precaution against Zhu Houyu in his heart, he even wanted to break Zhu Houyu's limelight, so that he, the head of the cabinet, would have greater power, at least not be left behind. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

You must know that Yang Ting and the first assistant of the cabinet are members of the Zhengyipin, although there is no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty. But this cabinet chief assistant played the role of prime minister. Since ancient times, the power of the prime minister and the imperial power have always been mutually restrictive, and the rights have been balanced with each other. A great imperial power will inevitably weaken the relative power, and a great imperial power will inevitably weaken the imperial power. The relationship between the imperial power and the relative power is not only a unified community, but also a contradiction.

Although Yang Tinghe has some thoughts about Zhu Houxi, as the head of the cabinet, he still has to do things. Not only to do, but also to be honest, serious and meticulous.

You must know that if he doesn't do his own thing, he will not be the head of the cabinet for long. Xia Yanke, the second assistant of the cabinet, has been eyeing Yang Tinghe, waiting for Yang Tinghe to make a mistake, so that he can replace Yang Tinghe!

Anyway, in the cabinet, it is sorted by seniority, and whoever stays for a long time will have a high status and be ranked high. At present, Xia Yan is ranked second, and he is the future head of the cabinet.

Zhu Houxi has entered Beijing, and the new emperor must be enthroned a year ago. This is a death order issued by the Queen Mother. And at this time, Zhu Houxi lived in the Fengtian Hall for a few days, as if he couldn't wait for the throne. This made Yang Tinghe even more afraid to slack off, and hurriedly prepared for Zhu Houxi's accession to the throne.

After so many years as the first assistant, and with the help of many ministers, the enthronement of the new emperor was finally completed in a very well-prepared situation.

Zhu Houxi ascended the throne with his head held high and became the master of this great tomorrow. Zhu Houxi immediately promulgated the name of the era, which will be called the first year of Jiajing from next year. Since then, the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi, has stepped onto the stage of history. His accession to the throne also means the severance of Zhu Youjiao's lineage of Ming Xiaozong.

As soon as the name of Jiajing came out, Gao Zhong was excited, and more importantly, he respected Qin Li more and more. Xiao Li, a genius, has the ability to know. Qin Li had already mentioned that the future emperor was Jiajing, and Gao Zhong had never been able to figure it out. Seeing that Zhu Houxi was the emperor, it was a certainty, and he didn't see any Jiajing appear. Now he finally understands that Jiajing is Zhu Houxi's year name. In the future, he can't leave Qin Li, and he must continue to associate with Qin Li and become permanent friends. In Gao Zhong's opinion, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as he has a good relationship with Qin Li, his Gao Zhong's status will be as solid as a rock.

Zhu Houxi is a person with affection and intention. He did not shake the status of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the Empress Dowager Zhang was still her Empress Dowager, and even the status of Empress Xia did not move. The rights and status that Empress Xia should enjoy have not diminished in the slightest, and have even increased.

But fortunately, whether it is Empress Dowager Zhang or Empress Xia, they are all smart people. Emperor Zhengde died, and they had no power in the harem, so these two people were unknown and lived in the harem in a low-key manner. It can be regarded as getting a good ending.

The first thing Zhu Houxi did after ascending the throne was to reward Qin Li. learned from Empress Dowager Zhang that Qin Li stabilized the palace after Zhengde's death, got rid of Jiang Bin, and eliminated the disaster, and then strongly recommended Zhu Houxi as the Ming Emperor. When passing through the Wild Wolf Valley in Shandong, Qin Li took the lead, and defeated the 30,000 horses of Zhu Chenxing, the king of Lu, with a thousand iron troops, which can be described as a high level of hard work.

Of course, Zhu Houxi rewarded Qin Li once on the way to Beijing, and rewarded Qin Li with 1,000 private soldiers, which was also a very grand and high-standard reward. But there is another thing that Qin Li still has the name of the prefect of Hejian and is the fourth official of the imperial court. The prefect of Hejian has long been replaced by Hu Shining, and the current name of Qin Li, the prefect, has no meaning of existence, and is even a little nondescript.

What kind of official should Qin Li reward? This is really difficult for Zhu Houxi. In order to promote himself as the emperor, Qin Li took great pains and offended many important ministers of the court. For such a person, there must be a heavy reward. But I have to say that Qin Li is only seventeen years old now, and he is already a fourth-grade official at a young age, and if he has offended so many people, it is really a bit difficult to promote his official position again.

The most important thing is Qin Li, and if he is in power now, it will not be beneficial to Qin Li at all. He will be the target of public criticism.

But if you don't reward Qin Li, this is a bit too much. You must know that Qin Li's talent Zhu Houxi can see it clearly and admire it deeply. Daddy Xingwang once repeatedly said that he would rely on Qin Li. and Empress Dowager Zhang also repeatedly talked about Qin Li in her ear, and wanted to reuse Qin Li herself.

What to do? Zhu Houxi pondered for a long time, and took great pains to arrange Qin Li.

Without consulting with anyone, above the court, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi made a decree to seal Qin Li as the general of Zhenguo. In Beijing built the town of the general of the country's mansion.

General Zhenguo's name is very stylish and loud, but in fact, he is just a military officer. Of course, the grade is still very high, and he is an official from the second grade. It's just that he has a position but no real power.

In this way, it seems that Qin Li has quietly raised his grade, and it is not very noticeable. From the original fourth-grade official, he suddenly got a second-grade official, which can be regarded as a step to the sky. I don't know how many people envy, envy and hate.

Qin Li was still very satisfied with General Zhenguo. Now that Zhu Houyu has just become the emperor, he has made such an official for himself, which shows the importance of his position in Zhu Houyu's heart. Qin Li understands very well that although he, the general of Zhenguo, has no real power at the moment, he will soon be reused.

The smart Zhu Houxi is testing the attitude of hundreds of officials!

The king of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry made great contributions to Jiajing's ascension to the throne, and Jiajing naturally will not forget him. However, Wang Sui is now very old and is already a member of the second grade. Obviously, it is not suitable to continue to be promoted. Jiajing was very generous and promoted Wang Sui's son to a higher level, from a petty official with no real power in the capital to the prefect. This is also very worthy of Wang Sui.

The reward is over, and the next step is to clean up the old ministers in the court. The old ministers stopped Zhu Houyu and insisted that Zhu Houyu go to Dong'anmen, Zhu Houyu remembered it vividly, and he would never forget it. The faces of those old ministers were firmly imprinted in Zhu Houxi's mind. Damn, kill chickens and monkeys, the first evil must be done.

In Zhu Houxi's opinion, Yang Ting and this person are not bad, how to say that they are also Qin Li's father-in-law. also contributed to becoming the emperor himself. So I still have to give Yang Ting and face. Therefore, on this day, Yang Tinghe was summoned to discuss how to deal with Wang Qiong. (To be continued.) )
