Chapter 885 The Big Wedding

Although the governor is resident in the place, he has no rank, and most of them serve as governors with the official titles of the imperial court or the military department, and serve as the governor with the title of the imperial history or the military department.

First of all, the administrative structure of the premises remains the same. Because the commanders and envoys are military positions, they have already stood aside, so the administrative organs of the provinces are headed by the political envoys and the envoys, and the two senior officials have their own sets of subordinate officials. If the political envoy is announced, there is one political envoy from the left and one from the right; There is no quota for political participation from the left and right of the third rank, and there is no quota for political participation from the left and right of the fourth rank...... This dynasty did not disperse the officials, the official positions are a radish and a pit, especially the senior official positions above the fourth grade are out of stock, so the meaning of "no quota" is by no means dispensable, but can have many names.

This is a high-ranking official, and there are also institutions such as the Zhaoma Office, the Rational Inquiry Office, the Prison Department, the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, the Ordnance Bureau, the Baoquan Bureau, and the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, all of which have official positions and quotas. As for the Inspectorate Division, the scale is a little larger, but the nature is exactly the same. This is very understandable, because Taizu set up these two yamen in order to let them lead the government affairs of a province, so it is natural to have a complete configuration of subordinate official institutions.

Look at the superintendent's account again...... Sorry, there are no subordinate officials other than the scribes who do the paperwork. The staff who worked for the superintendent were not actually state officials, but were hired by the superintendents. In this regard, it is not as good as a county, and the bad guy still has a county, a master book, and a history, which are paid by the state.

This is not difficult to understand, because originally the governors and governors were temporary assignments, not official positions, so there would be no adjutants. This has created a common strange phenomenon...... If the governor bypasses them and directly commands the lower-level bureaucrats, he will commit the taboo of 'exceeding his authority'.

And the political envoy is from the second rank, according to the inspection envoy is the third grade, and the governor is often appointed by the imperial history of the capital, and the official title is the fourth grade, and even some governors are also appointed by the third rank of the military department. is called a boss, but the grade is not as good as that of his subordinates, and his subordinates also lead a huge bureaucracy, so it's no wonder that there are no moths.

As a matter of fact, it is difficult to carry out the governor's decrees, the affairs and powers of the whole province are different, the various yamen pass the buck, and the phenomenon of disobeying the superiors is extremely common in the provinces. This not only makes the superintendent spend a lot of energy to harmonize yin and yang, but many people who are not good at interpersonal relations are directly embattled and cannot stretch. However, once there is a major event, the court will be held responsible, and the governor will bear the brunt, and the people below will have nothing to do. This kind of depressed life of not being able to eat mutton and getting rid of sāo is something that every governor is unwilling to continue...... Compared with this, the collection of financial rights is simply a drizzle, and the result is a fight with the household, no matter whether you win or lose, it is nothing more than tightening your belt to live, at least in the province, you can still be poor.

Therefore, for the decentralization of administrative power, the governor of the premises is 10,000 in favor, and with their pressure, the political envoys and the envoys have no recruitment, so they can only contact the same party in the dark and give the new policy some eye medicine in the court. Then there was an official: 'According to the new policy, the governor shall administer the military affairs, and the governor shall administer civil affairs, and the governor's regulations shall be subject to the governor's control." Governors and governors of the same province are supposed to contain each other, but the rights are interspersed and stacked, and the rights are refuted and divided, and contradictions are inevitable. Therefore, it is nonsense to eliminate the disagreement of power. ’

He also said: 'There are two major rulers in a province, and their ambitions are not the same, and their powers are different, and their power has to be contended. If both of them are not good, they will tolerate each other in order to si; If one virtuous and one unscrupulous, it will be incompatible, resulting in fire and water; Even if both of them are virtuous, or they have different opinions and personalities, so they cannot get along, although it is inevitable that they will be virtuous. ’

What's more, they directly denied: 'The ancestors withdrew from the province and set up three divisions to prevent the power of the courtiers from being difficult to govern. Now the province is restored, and the three divisions of the governor are set up, which greatly violates the law of the ancestors and makes the power of the courtiers difficult to govern! It's a move to ruin the country! Please abolish this law, and those who dare to speak out and re-establish in the future will be copied and beheaded! ’

Shen Mo knew that this was not the real reason for their veto, but he still had to cheer up and ordered people to argue one by one: "Governor of the same province, only the borders of the border, because of its military primacy, make the governor control the governor." In other provinces, the governor is only in charge of the military and is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the premises in peacetime. The military and the government are clearly distinguished, so how can we talk about the right to refute and distort the division? ’

It is ridiculous to say that the two of them are in charge of the government, and they have to fight. Is it better for one person to have a monopoly on power, or is it better for two people to divide power? ’

As for the law of the ancestors, the division of three divisions is the law of the ancestors, and the establishment of governors is also the law of the ancestors. Moreover, today, the financial power has been returned to Taicang, the governor has his soldiers but no money and food, and the governor is in charge of civil affairs but has no military power, so how can there be any chaos? ’

This kind of unnutritious war of words has never been broken, but the new policy has been successfully promoted by the court and vigorously implemented by the governor, and it has been the trend of the times and cannot be changed in a few years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Politically on track, and economically thriving. According to the statistics at the end of the fifth year of Wanli, Taicang's grain storage is enough to withdraw for 20 years, and the Taifu Temple has accumulated more than 8 million taels, which is the height that Renxuan's rule has not reached in the past. Of course, this has the credit of silence, but what is more important is the good foundation laid by Gao Gong, as well as Zhang Juzheng's bloody struggle over the years.

In addition to this, the defense of the northern side is also in its golden years. I have already hung up, and his sons are vying for power and profit, and on the other hand, they are vying to flatter the court. Although the Tuman did not give in, he was inexhaustibly defeated under the impact of Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang, and had been away from Gyeonggi for many years. In the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng only focused on fiscal and tax reform, and did not say a word about the rest of the things, Zhang Siwei and others performed their duties, and did not dare to challenge the authority of the first assistant. In the past few years, it has been so quiet that there is no wave, which is a phenomenon that has not been seen since Jiajing and Longqing.

Compared with these comforting things, the endless war of words is just like the spice of boring life, so insignificant.

However, in this spring when everything is recovering, the things that have been produced and will be produced are all indicating that the peaceful days seem to have come to an end, and the days of Shousuke-sama's chagrin have come......

First of all, the question of the emperor's wedding came. This year the emperor was sixteen years old, and according to the first year, he was only fifteen years old. However, his mother, Empress Dowager Li, had already set a woman named Wang Xijie, whose ancestral home was Yuyao, and was born in a family of officials in Beijing the year before, as the queen candidate, and hoped to hold a big wedding in the fifth year of Wanli.

However, the cabinet thought that the emperor was only fifteen years old in the fifth year of Wanli, and the bride was only fourteen years old, so as not to be too early and fear of hurting the Holy Communion. This reason is high-sounding, because tradition holds that men do not develop until they are sixteen years old, and having sex before this age will damage their sperm. At the insistence of the cabinet, the Empress Dowager retreated, but she couldn't wait any longer, and asked for a big wedding as soon as the emperor celebrated his birthday this year. This time, the cabinet had nothing to say, so it had to order the Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day, and finally set it for March this year.

The reason why Empress Dowager Li insisted so much on the emperor's early marriage is because in Chinese tradition, a man's marriage means that he is an adult, and the emperor's adulthood means that he can fulfill his responsibilities, and the mission of the minister is over, and he should return to the government!

Empress Dowager Li can understand this point, let alone the government and the opposition, so since last year, there have been more and more calls for the cabinet to return to power after the marriage of the Son of Heaven, which is inevitable in the eyes of everyone...... Although over the years, the affairs of the imperial court have been resolved by the six departments of the cabinet, and the major matters have been decided by the court, and the measures can be taken in an orderly manner, but there is nothing to do with the emperor!

As a courtier, you can't always exclude the emperor from power, right? Especially those ministers who were excluded from the inner circle and frustrated among the reformers wanted to make a good impression on the queen mother and the emperor, so as to take this opportunity to turn over.

For this day, Shen Mo had already expected it, but he was not caught off guard, he personally assumed the prime minister of the wedding, and ordered the internal and external yamen to start purchasing and preparations, so as to make sure that the wedding ceremony of the Son of Heaven was held in accordance with etiquette and did not give people any truth. How to deal with it in the future has long been calculated......

What really caught him off guard was an incident that happened yesterday. At that time, he and Zhang Juzheng were arguing in Wenyuan Pavilion. Over the years, the two have quarreled a lot over the matter of the New Deal, but they have taken the overall situation into account, only quarreling in Si, and talking about the matter, and not mentioning it in front of anyone later. Therefore, at this time, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to approach the duty room.

However, just as the two slapped the table and quarreled, there was a sudden knock on the door. Shen Mo immediately lowered his face and said, "How can you do it!" ”

"Yuanfu," Zhang Yuanxi's voice came from outside, this always steady champion Yuanlang has been in the cabinet for five and a half years, and he has long been promoted from the silent Shi to the official in charge of the internal and external affairs of the Wenyuan Cabinet. In addition to a few cabinet elders, he is the most effective in the cabinet: "There is an urgent letter from Jiangling to Zhang Gelao!" ”

looked at Zhang Juzheng silently, Zhang Juzheng's face immediately turned pale, and the news sent from his hometown was serious enough to make Zhang Yuan break the rules...... Thinking of his father's health worries since last year, Zhang Juzheng didn't dare to think about it.

"Come in." He said silently.

Zhang Yuanchen led in a dusty officer.

Zhang Juzheng saw that the person who came was his fourth son Zhang Jianxiu, because the book was not a tool, so he had a martial arts Jinyi Wei Qianhu, so he served his grandparents in his hometown in Jiangling. I couldn't help asking, "What's going on at home?" ”

"Daddy......" Zhang Jianxiu knelt down with a puff and cried loudly: "Grandpa has passed away." ”

"What, what?" Zhang Juzheng immediately felt that the world was spinning.

"Grandpa passed away at home on the 13th of this month." Zhang Jianxiu cried: "Grandma ordered me to come to the capital to report the funeral!" ”

"How can this be ......" Zhang Ju was like being struck by lightning and slumped in his chair. It took a while to come back to his senses, kowtow heavily to the south, beat his chest and howled: "Dad, the child is not filial!" ”

The silence on the side was also gloomy, and he knew that Zhang Juzheng was really sad...... After the official came out, he broke up with his parents for a long time. For example, Zhang Juzheng has never returned to Jiangling since Jiajing for 36 years and returned to Beijing after a three-year sick leave, and he has not seen his father for 20 years.

Last summer, Gangneung received a letter saying that his father was so sick that it was sometimes difficult to even walk, and he really wanted to see him for the last time. Zhang Juzheng was ready to take a leave of absence to save his relatives, but the fiscal and tax reform had reached the most critical stage, so he had to wait for the hard bones to be gnawed down before leaving. Who knew that before he was done, Zhang Wenming would have passed away. I can't be personally supported in life, I can't be filial piety before I am sick, and I can't see the last side of my death, as a son, how can I not hate him for the rest of my life and blame myself for a lifetime?

silently ordered someone to send Zhang Juzheng, who was overly grieving, home, and there was no time to feel sorry for others. It's not that he is cold-blooded, but he thinks that Zhang Juzheng will have his father (mother) mourned for three years. In the past three years, wouldn't he have to support the situation alone, and he had to face those enemies who regarded change as a thorn in the side for Zhang Juzheng? The thought of this made his head go for a while.

Of course, no matter what you think in your heart, what you should do must still be done according to the law. He first approved Zhang Juzheng's request to mourn at home and not come to work again. Then he told the emperor and the empress dowager about the matter, and obtained a holy message of consolation to Zhang Juzheng. Then the next day, after the next court, he led the cabinet to pay tribute to Zhang Juzheng's mansion in Shamao Hutong. I saw a pair of lanterns in front of Zhang's house, which had been replaced with white, with the word 'Dian' written on them.

When I entered the university scholar's house, I saw that it was already a piece of vegetarian food, and the guest hall was also temporarily installed as a mourning hall. Looking at these banners hanging in the guest hall, as well as the couplets such as 'sound and appearance are like' above, Shen Mo also had a sour nose, and almost cried, and secretly said in his heart: 'Dad, you must cherish it! ’

Listening to the holy message, Zhang Juzheng asked his family to avoid it first, knelt down and listened to the condolences of the emperor's mother and son, and then fell to the ground and cried bitterly, and said intermittently: "Thank you to the emperor and the queen mother for ......your care."

Shen Mo helped Zhang Juzheng up, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Taiyue's day mourning, let's think about how to deal with it first." ”

Zhang Juzheng wiped his tears, nodded his head, and hissed: "Please sit in Yuanfu's study." ”
