Chapter 72 Cabinet Selection

The Criminal Department administers the world's prisons, but all cases of exile must be reported. Especially in cases involving court officials, there is no shortage of one. Qin Xin's father is the governor of Huzhou, and the crime is still a capital crime, and the criminal department must have a record.

Yue Su only needed to give a warning, and soon the master book took Cheng Zhongwei's file. Yue Su opened it and flipped through it, and the records in it were very detailed, recording that Cheng Zhongwei was corrupt and bribed, bullied the common people, and found 10,000 taels of silver in his mansion as evidence. The sentencing results were also clearly written, Cheng Zhongwei was sentenced to beheading, the male was exiled, and the female dependents were sent to the education department. The big local families who pay bribes are also the heads who should be killed, the exiles who should be exiled, and all the family property is inspected.

There is no flaw in the entire Tan Juan, and if you want to overturn the case, it really takes some trouble, unless you use your authority without permission. If you want to retry the case, you need to go to Huzhou to inquire and visit, and it will take some time to detain the people involved in the case. However, the Criminal Department has raised so many people, just send a few to Huzhou for a trip.

Yue Su immediately sent Xing Ying and asked him to send a few catchers to Huzhou to inquire about Cheng Zhongwei and learn about his official reputation.

As soon as Xing Ying was sent away, someone from the cabinet came to pass a message, and the elder of the Fang Pavilion asked Yue Su to come over and discuss important matters. As a new cabinet member, whenever there is a major matter in the cabinet and a decision is made, whether it is veto or agreed, he must sign his name at the interview.

This is the first time Yue Su has joined the cabinet meeting, although he must not be lazy, he ordered people to prepare a sedan chair and go to the Forbidden City. The cabinet office was in a courtyard in the Forbidden City, and after Yue Su entered the courtyard, before he could enter the chamber, he heard a noise from inside. As soon as he heard the voice, Yue Su knew who it was, one was Gu Bingqian and the other was Fang Congzhe, and the two old guys were arguing.

The approximate content, Yue Su quickly understood, was about the list of substitute officials submitted by the ministry. The theme was in Shandong, Fang Congzhe hinted that those who were in favor of the list should go to Shandong, while Gu Bingqian vetoed it. Originally, most of the cabinet members were eunuchs, and only Fang Congzhe was an outsider, but since Wei Guangwei and the three were dismissed, a Yue Su was added, and two old guys were added in terms of seniority, and seven people were still connected. And the two newcomers obviously refused to be with the eunuchs, so they automatically sided with Fang Congzhe. In this way, Gu Bingqian's gang is three, and Fang Congzhe's side is also three, don't Gu Bingqian and Zhou Ruxin still dominate the position of the first assistant and the second assistant, but because they just lost the case for a while, their momentum is obviously much weaker, and they can't suppress Fang Congzhe at all. You must know that when Fang Congzhe was the first assistant, you Gu Bingqian was one. Now there are seven people, there are different opinions, although it is necessary to elect, three against three is obviously impossible, and Yue Su's vote can be said to be very important.

Of course, in Fang Congzhe's heart, Yue Su would definitely be on his side.

Yue Su slowly pushed the door in, and when he came in, the noise inside stopped, and everyone arched their greetings, and they heard Fang Congzhe say: "Lord Yue, it's just right to come." We are now in a dispute over the selection of a replacement officer for the Ministry of Officials. The cabinet of seven people, in the case of disagreement, needs to make a decision. It's three against three now, and your vote is very important. ”

Yue Su has always been hostile to Duke Wei, and Gu Bingqian didn't guess, knowing that Yue Su would definitely stand on Fang Congzhe's side. And in his mind, this list may have been discussed by Fang Congzhe and Yue Su.

But where did he know, who was on the list, Yue Su didn't know at all. Yue Su smiled slightly, and said, "It turned out to be for this, but I don't know who the officials proposed by the ministry are, so I want to go first." ”

"The list is now in Gu Shoufu's hands." Fang Congzhe's face was also smiling.

Gu Bingqian's face also squeezed out a smile, and he raised the list of tables and waited for Yue Su to pick it up. was sneering in his heart, "You can really pretend to be, who is there in front of you, don't you know?" ”

Yue Su walked over to take the list, then walked back to his place and sat down, and began to slowly flip through it.

In this kind of drawing up a list of officials, it is not allowed to write only the name, but also the place of origin, educational background, and work experience. Because in the end, it has to be presented to the emperor, if there is only a name, the emperor will not know what so many officials do.

Yue Su has been an official for a short time, and although he doesn't know which party these officials belong to, it is quickly clear when he gives such a detailed introduction. Most of the officials sent to Henan, Zhili, and Shanxi are from Shandong, Huguang, and Zhejiang, and although some of them are from other places, it is estimated that they should also be officials who are dependent on the three parties. Although the officials sent to Shandong have different origins, they have a common characteristic, that is, they are all officials in Beijing, including speech officials, as well as the heads of various ministries and Langzhong.

After all this, what is the situation, can Yue Su still not understand. However, his face was colorless, and he just said lightly: "How did the officials choose people, now there are bandits in Shandong, is it appropriate for this node to send so many officials to the office?" At least you have to choose some soldiers from the past, otherwise once you encounter a bandit attack, how to resist? ”

As soon as Yue Su said this, it was simply beyond Gu Bingqian's expectations, the old guy thought that Yue Su would agree if he pretended to be two eyes, but now that this is the case, how can he not be obedient. Gu Bingqian immediately said: "What Lord Yue said is very true, there are existing bandits in Shandong, and suppressing bandits is the top priority. Most of the officials sent to Shandong are officials who speak and do not know the soldiers. ”

Fang Congzhe watched coldly, and when he saw Yue Su like this, he was angry and secretly gritted his teeth, thinking in his heart, "Yue Su, Yue Su, are you really confused or fake." I'm trying to get rid of the eunuch party's speech and official forces in Beijing, what are you messing with? With Xiong Tingbi coming out, the bandits will be defeated, there are not many officials who speak more, and there are many officials who speak less, what is your idea? ”

Immediately, Fang Congzhe asked Yue Su lightly: "Then I don't know what Lord Yue thinks, which officials should be sent to make up for the lack of Shandong?" You must know that now sending officials from other provinces is afraid that the distant water will not quench the thirst of the near, so it is better to send officials from the capital. ”

Yue Su said unhurriedly: "Lord Fang's reasonableness, I will choose capable officials from Zhili's side." In this way, now send a message to the Ministry of Officials, let Wang Shangshu come over to discuss the matter, and by the way, bring the files of the officials below the third rank of the Beizhi Subordinate and the roster of alternate Jinshi, and we will select the available people from them. ”

He is a cabinet minister and a scholar of the East Cabinet University, so he naturally has the right to transfer the secretary of the ministry to the cabinet for deliberations. Especially his current law, which is beneficial to the eunuch party, how can Gu Bingqian not cooperate. "Lord Yue, come here, go to the Ministry of Officials and ask Wang Shangshu to discuss here. Remember to tell him to bring the files of the officials below the third rank of the Beizhi subordinate and the roster of the alternate jinshi. ”

As soon as Gu Bingqian appeared, the other two eunuch ministers also immediately said, "Lord Yue is high-minded." ”

As soon as the eunuch party stood on Yue Su's side, Fang Congzhe lost his temper, it was obvious that he was four to three, and he was useless. Moreover, there is another point that is particularly important, that is, whether it is Gonggong Wei or Lord Yue, they are the most trusted by the emperor. For a while, Fang Congzhe suddenly felt a crisis, that is, if he didn't have Yue Su's support, he was afraid that he would not even be as good as the Donglin Party.

At this time, he could only stand up and implicitly agree with Yue Su.

Soon, Wang Qia, the secretary of the ministry, came to the cabinet, and at the same time brought the files of officials below the third rank of the Beizhi subordinate and the roster of alternate jinshi.

There was no empty talk, the big guy divided the file and began to flip through it, looking for the "suitable" candidate.

Who is suitable, Yue Su knows the most in his heart, and the person he wants to choose is his protégé.

Zhen Meng, a native of Wu County, Suzhou, was a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and was revised by Hanlin; Huang Daozhou, a native of Zhangpu, Zhangzhou, a Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, compiled by Hanlin; Jiang Dejing, a native of Quanzhou, a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, edited by Hanlin; Zhang Sizhi, a native of Fei County, Yizhou, was a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and was reviewed by Hanlin; Chen Yan, Jiading Jing Researcher, Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, edited by Hanlin; Lu Xiangsheng, Yixing, Changzhou. In the second year of the Apocalypse, he was the head of the household department; Fang Yuegong, a native of Xiangyang Valley City, a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and the head of the household department; Fu Guan, Nanchang Jinxian, Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, edited by Hanlin; Ni Yuanlu, Yuren of Shaoxing, Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, edited by Hanlin; Xu Shiqi, a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and the director of the Ministry of Industry; Qi Biaojia, a native of Shanyin, Shaoxing, a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and an alternate official; Zhang Guowei, a native of Dongyang, Jinhua, a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and an alternate official; Sun Yuanhua, a native of Jiading, Suzhou, has a personal background, and is the secretary of the Ministry of War......

These names were all recorded by Yue Su, except for Sun Yuanhua, all of them were Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and the protégé of Lord Yue. The reason why Sun Yuanhua was selected is that there is a record in the archives that he specializes in artillery.

Yue Su doesn't know much about history, he actually doesn't know, if it weren't for his presentation, these people in front of him would also become the pillars of the Ming Empire in the future, and half of them had been cabinet ministers. Of course, there are also good and bad, some are mediocre, some are capable ministers, and some are Han. But now, Lord Yue doesn't know.

"Let's transfer these people to Shandong." After Yue Su recorded, he spoke.

Others were still pretending, and seeing Lord Yue's words, Gu Bingqian was the first to say: "I don't know which officials Lord Yue has picked." ”

Yue Su was not secretive, and directly read out the resumes of these officials one by one. After listening to his reading, whether it was Gu Bingqian or Fang Congzhe and his gang, Ma understood Yue Su's intentions. This is your Lord Yue's intention to cultivate strength and promote his protégé.

Now going to Shandong to take up a post, although it is not a good errand, but it is also a divide. The new Liaodong Jinglu is Xiong Tingbi, and the person recommended by Yue Su is not only not in any danger, but also follows Xiong Jingluo, a veteran who has been in the field for a long time, it is sooner or later to exterminate the rebels. If you promote it in this way, you will have a great future in the future.
