Chapter 518: Entering the Cabinet
Next, as Yue Yang said, when Chongzhen suddenly proposed three places to enter the cabinet, Yue Yang, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng were all on the list, and these three new places also caused an uproar in the court, and many ministers also expressed their opposition to this appointment.
Among these three, Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou were Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse and the forty-third year of Wanli respectively, and it stands to reason that they also belong to the old Jinshi, but the two of them have a congenital shortcoming, that is, they are not from Shujishi.
The so-called Shu Jishi, also known as Shu Chang. Its name is derived from the Book of Books. The meaning of "Shu Chang Jishi" in the chapter of "Lizheng". It was a short-term position in the Hanlin Academy during the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the important sources of auxiliary ministers for the Ming Cabinet, who are selected from among the people who have passed the imperial examination and have the potential to serve as close ministers of the emperor, responsible for drafting edicts and explaining scriptures to the emperor.
Today's early dynasty was full of choking gunpowder smell at the beginning, and many ministers expressed their opposition to Yue Yang's proposal to enter the cabinet, and even more so, some of the six departments jumped out one after another, openly shouting that Chongzhen was violating the ancestral system and was a great disrespect to the ancestors.
The opposition to entering the cabinet was expected by Yue Yang and others, but the three of them were not completely unprepared, and soon many ministers jumped out to speak for the three of them. Especially Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, after all, they are both veteran Jinshi, although they are not from Shujishi, but the two of them have enough merit and qualifications over the years. The difference is nothing more than the qualifications of the Hanlin Academy, as long as the two of them are willing to make up for this shortcoming, they can easily make up for it.
And the most fierce controversy belongs to Yue Yang, after all, this guy is just a showman, if this guy is allowed to enter the cabinet as a university scholar, it is almost a red fruit slapping the face of civil officials, this is absolutely impossible.
Looking at the opposition of dozens of officials, Yue Yang was not angry, but calmly looked at the shouting officials silently, after all, no matter what he said now, he is also a person with status, and of course he can't go into battle shirtless when he quarrels with people on the spot, and he has his own subordinates to do it for him.
Soon Yueyang. Ma Shiying, who had just taken refuge in Yueyang, and Ruan Dacheng, who had just been tried by Yueyang to find a way to get into the Imperial Procuratorate, also stood up to speak for Yue Yang, Ruan Dacheng even pointed to the noses of those officials of the six branches and scolded: "If there is no loyal and brave marquis to fight for my Ming Dynasty, you can sit in the court and point fingers at the major affairs of the court, and you are not grateful, but what is the intention of preventing Hou Ye from entering the cabinet with some dispensable ancestral system?" ”
An official sneered and sneered: "I can't see that Lord Ruan is quite good at sycophancy, although the Marquis of Zhongyong is meritorious, but the imperial court has also given him dignity and praise, and now we are discussing the matter of entering the cabinet." Since the fight against Yingzong, our Ming Dynasty has had a rule that non-Jishi are not allowed to enter the cabinet, and it is already a bit out of place to let Lord Lu and Lord Hong enter the cabinet. If even a person like Yue Yang, who is not even a lifter, can also enter the cabinet, wouldn't it be a destruction of the ancestral system that has existed for hundreds of years. How can this official watch you and other villains corrupt the dynasty and ignore it! ”
This famous official estimated that he had a relationship with Yue Yang today, and even called his Yue Yang's name. Everyone has blind obedience, and seeing this official so impassionedly reprimanding Yue Yang, the minister of the dynasty, many officials around him also began to get excited. Raise your hands and help aside.
"Exactly, how can we be spared by destroying the ancestral system, and we will not agree to such a ridiculous act if we swear to death!"
"The ancestral system cannot be shaken, and we resolutely do not agree to Yueyang's entry into the cabinet!"
In the face of these noisy officials. Another middle-aged official in a scarlet official robe stepped forward. He glanced at these officials contemptuously and said lightly: "If you pick up the ancestral system, this official will also think of one." It was recorded in Taizu's daily life record that anyone who coveted fifty taels of silver could be put to death. If you are greedy for a hundred taels of silver, you can peel the skin and fill the grass to show the public, I wonder if you think so? ”
The person who spoke was none other than Ruan Dacheng, and when he said this, the surroundings immediately fell silent, and then ...... And then there was no more, and then ......
Zhu Yuanzhang is a ruthless man, and the name of this ruthless man is not self-appointed, but added to him by others after the precipitation of history. Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded many meritorious heroes when the Ming Dynasty founded, and there were 59 people who ranked as princes alone. But in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, regardless of the abolition of children and the death of illness, there were 23 of these princes who were killed, of which 16 died directly in the Hu Lan case. In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang died, and only Xinghou Geng Shanwen and Wuding Marquis Guo Ying were left among the heroes who were crowned at the beginning.
It is said that Lao Zhu killed too many local officials at that time, and the reserve officials obviously could not keep up with the speed of being killed, and even the substitute officials were not enough, which shows how ruthless Lao Zhu killed him.
Although more than two hundred years have passed since Lao Zhu's hiccup, as soon as Lao Zhu's name is mentioned, even the official who claims to dare to scold anyone can't help but shudder all over, Nima, why are you mentioning this killing god, can we still have a good time together.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang was mentioned, let alone the officials below, even Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, shuddered in his heart, and secretly slandered in his heart, if this old ancestor saw that Da Ming became like this under his rule, would he be beaten to death by his old man.
It turns out that the arm can't twist the thigh anyway. These people quarreled fiercely, but when the emperor was determined to promote an official, no one could stop him, Yue Yang and the other three finally entered the cabinet, and Yue Yang, a guy who only showed off his talents, also became a scholar and became one of the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty except for the emperor.
Some people may want to say, although Yue Yang has become a cabinet scholar, doesn't he still have Zhou Tingru, the first assistant? But anyone who has a heart understands that if Yue Yang enters the pavilion, Zhou Tingru can stay in the position of the first assistant for how long. (To be continued......)
