Chapter 407: Governor of the Four Sides

Could it really be Channing?

Emperor Zhengde frowned and fell into reverie. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a long time, he sighed and said, "If it's really Qian Ning, he will disappoint me too much." ”

Qian Ning can have today, it is completely the grace of Emperor Zhengde.

And now Qian Ning is jealous of Jiang Bin, and wantonly frames Xie Shen, who recommended Jiang Bin.

Originally, Emperor Zhengde planned to let Qian Ning take charge of Jinyiwei. But now it seems that this person is at both ends of the head and the rat, and he is by no means a candidate to serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

After all, Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, which is unspeakably expensive, and the commander of Jinyiwei must be an absolute confidant.

Zhengde turned to Jiang Bin.

Compared with Qian Ning, Jiang Bin is more courageous, and it is obviously more suitable to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

However, with Qian Ning's experience, Emperor Zhengde did not plan to immediately promote and appoint Jiang Bin.

This is not because of scruples about the opinion of the courtiers. In fact, the commander of the Jinyi Guard is the only one who does not need to go through the court push process for the appointment of senior officials above the fourth rank.

Although Tingtui is also a formality many times, there is still a form after all.

Zhengde wanted to take a good look at Jiang Bin. Look at how loyal he pretends to be like Channing, or is he really loyal.

"Your Majesty, this Qian Ning is a treacherous person, and he obtains an official position by flattering and bewitching His Majesty. Now he has wantonly framed Xiao Ge Lao, if this person is not severely punished, what is the law of the country! ”

Xie Qian saw that the time was ripe, so he played a side drum on the side.

Zhengde turned to Xie Shen, who had been silent, and said in a deep voice: "What does Mr. think? ”

In fact, Zhengde is hesitant in his heart. Although he was disappointed in Channing, after all, this person had done a lot for him. Compared with the courtiers who eat the ancients, Zhengde prefers courtiers like Qian Ning.

If Jiang Bin hadn't appeared, Zhengde would definitely not have severely punished Qian Ning, at most a few reprimands.

But the current situation is different, Channing already has a replacement, so Zhengde can think about it.

"I have already calculated this matter, and I will not let my husband be wronged."

Emperor Zhengde smiled slightly.

......

......

The Son of Heaven does not seem to have a good end.

Not long after Liu Jin, the eunuch of great power, went to Nanjing to guard the mausoleum, Qian Ning, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, followed in the footsteps. It's really embarrassing.

Qian Ning was directly demoted by the Son of Heaven to Nanchang, Jiangxi Province to be attached to Guo County, and ordered to leave Beijing immediately without delay.

Poor Qian Ning was powerful, but he suddenly suffered this catastrophe, went to the Ministry of Officials to go through the formalities, and even left Beijing without caring about his wife and children.

There are favored ministers from generation to generation, and a generation of new people replaces old people.

Qian Ning's position was quickly replaced by Jiang Bin, but compared to his predecessor, Jiang Bin was obviously much more low-key. Although it is inevitable to accompany the Son of Heaven to eat, drink and have fun, but on the surface, he is respectful to the ministers and cabinet ministers.

This made the courtiers less hostile to him.

In the eyes of the courtiers, Jiang Bin obviously belonged to the minister, and since he was a minister, he was born a head lower than the officials from the imperial examination.

If they can clamp their tails and be people, the courtiers will naturally let them go. If you are arrogant, the end will be Qian Ning and Liu Jin.

Jiang Bin obviously learned a lesson and handled the relationship with these officialdom seniors as well as possible.

As for those officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were instructed by Qian Ning to frame and impeach Xie Shen, they were reprimanded by the Son of Heaven and fined for one year.

Several of the leaders were removed from the shelves and pushed to the court staff outside the noon gate.

These people were originally opportunists, who wanted to win wealth by taking the lead for Qian Ning, but they never thought that even Qian Ning would fall.

Not only did these people not get rich, but they were beaten by the board for nothing, and their faces were disgraced.

Unlike the courtiers who rushed against the emperor and were sceptered, these people were not praised by their colleagues, but were looked down upon coldly, and finally were removed from their official positions by the Son of Heaven and demoted to commoners to return to their hometown to farm.

The Son of Heaven has also restrained a lot after this incident, although he still lives in the leopard room, but every once in a while he will also summon cabinet ministers to inquire about the government, which can be regarded as barely fulfilling the responsibility of the Son of Heaven.

However, it was said that at noon on this day, the four scholars of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Xie Shen, and Jiao Fang, came to the leopard room together and were questioned in the bedroom of Emperor Zhengde.

This is unprecedented.

Under the guidance of the imperial eunuch Zhang Yong, the four ministers entered the main hall and met the Son of Heaven.

Zhengde played with Jiang Bin late at night last night, and he was sleepy at this time.

He waved his hand and said, "I want to set up the governors of Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, and Liaodong, and I have already asked Jiuqing Court to recommend candidates. They pushed and shoved around with nothing more than a few people. One is Li Zhen, the left imperial envoy of the Imperial Palace, the other is Chen Liang, the right deputy imperial envoy, and then Yan Feng, the left attendant of the military department. What do you think? ”

Li Dongyang, as the first assistant, naturally has to express his position first.

He was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Yan Feng, the left attendant of the military department, is the most suitable. First, he is a seventeen-year jinshi in Chenghua, and his qualifications are sufficient. Second, he has been in the military department for many years and has some experience. ”

The official office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is too special, and its officials are all officials.

According to the regulations, the governor of the Ming Dynasty will generally be concurrently served by a senior official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report on his work after the expiration of his term.

However, many of these officials do not understand professional knowledge.

If it's the governor and governor next to it, it's just a big deal.

But the governors of the four towns of Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui and Liaodong that Emperor Zhengde wanted to set up were too important.

If you call a wine bag to be the governor, it is likely to be counterproductive.

Zhengde nodded and said, "What do you think of the second assistant?" ”

Xie Qian said respectfully: "The minister and the first assistant have the same opinion, and Yan Feng is the most suitable person. ”

Both the first assistant and the second assistant have elected Yan Feng, and Zhengde has basically made up his mind.

But who knew that at this time, Xie Shen, a scholar of Dongge University, said in a loud voice: "The minister thinks that these three people are not suitable. ”

This is not only Zhengde, but even Li Dongyang was stunned.

None of these three are suitable, so who is suitable?

Xie Shen explained unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the two imperial histories naturally need not be said, they have almost no understanding of the border army. As for Lord Yan Fengyan, the left attendant of the military department, although he has some understanding of the border army, his strength is not enough to support this position. ”

Zhengde was curious: "Who does Mr. think is suitable?" ”

Xie Shen suddenly said: "Yang Tinghe, the left waiter of the household department! ”

However, it is said that in the original history, Yang Tinghe, who was born in the East Palace, successfully entered the cabinet after Zhengde ascended the throne, and gave the East Pavilion a scholar, and since then he has started the road of power. But because of Xie Shen's arrival, he snatched Yang Tinghe's luck and entered the cabinet as a third scholar. Yang Tinghe only achieved the position of the left waiter of the household department.

Later, the unlucky Han Shangshu impeached Liu Jin and was killed in the Imperial Prison, and the position of the head of the household was vacant.

After the Jiuqing court pushed, Yang Tinghe was promoted to be the head of the household department, and Emperor Zhengde also felt guilty about this gentleman in his heart, so he agreed to the result of the court push.

But Yang Tinghe resolutely refused to accept it, so that the emperor was not embarrassed.
