394 Visiting the Prime Minister (2-in-1)
The six words of the governor's military affairs in the world came out, which made the ministers inside and outside the Fengtian Hall gasp, especially the generals and relatives in the court, and the expressions on their faces were full of incredulity.
The Ming Dynasty set up the Governor's Office and the Military Department of the Five Armies in order to prevent the military power from being dominant, and deliberately carried out the unified adjustment and separation. The military department has the right to transfer troops, and the governor's office of the five armies has the right to command the army, and the two sides have a clear division of labor and are only responsible to the emperor, and no single party can lead the army independently.
If Yu Qian is allowed to oversee the military affairs of the world, it means that the military department will encroach on the power of the governor's palace of the five armies. Although in the process of guarding the Beijing Division, Yu Qian, who was the secretary of the military department, had in fact integrated the unified and transferred powers, but this time it was officially appointed by the emperor, which would completely change the division of military power.
The first battle of Tumubao has greatly reduced the strength of the Xunqi group, and if even the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies becomes a symbolic yamen, then the future of the Ming Dynasty may have to become a mascot.
As far as the balance of power between the DPRK and China is concerned, the appointment of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu is no less than that of Feng Yuqian as a peace candidate.
"Your Majesty, the matter is very high, and the ministers dare not take credit!"
Faced with this reward, Yu Qian once again chose to refuse.
However, this time, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu did not give him the right to refuse, and said: "Yu Shaobao, I have made up my mind, so don't shirk anymore." ”
Thunder and rain are all Jun's grace, whether it is punishment or reward, refusing once is already a great love, and then refusing again and again is a little ignorant, and more seriously, it is said to be a disobedience to the order.
Hearing that the emperor had already called himself "Yu Shaobao", Yu Qian understood that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, so he could only sigh and take the order: "Minister, thank Long En!" ”
Just when the civil and military officials thought that the dust had settled, Wu Qinghou Shi Heng stood up at this time and asked Zhu Qiyu for his life: "Your Majesty, Yu Shaobao is a pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and he deserves to be the shadow of his wife." ”
"The minister heard that Yu Mian, the son of Yu Shaobao, is smart and smart, talented, and should be an official!"
Although Yu Qian is now ranked among the "Three Princes" of the Ming Dynasty, he is unable to teach his children to become talents because he was out of town in the early years.
In addition, Yu Qian is an upright official and never favoritism to his family, resulting in his eldest son Yu Mian never being admitted to the official body of fame and fame, and his current identity is still a commoner.
For Shi Heng, Yu Qian is his own Bole, otherwise he would definitely not be able to leap from a prisoner to the rank of the Marquis of Daming in just a few months.
People learned that Entu reported that Yu Qian was already an official residence, and there was almost no way to rise further, so he could only wait for his death to be posthumously sealed. However, he can repay this kindness to his son, and take this opportunity to recommend him to the court as an official.
Shi Heng's words came out, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty, whether they supported Yu Qian or opposed him, stood up to raise objections. After all, life is short for a few decades, and after standing at the pinnacle of power, you naturally have to think about future generations, if you oppose your political opponent today, then someone will oppose you in the future.
This kind of thing that cuts off the family's inheritance of luck, it's best not to do it to accumulate yin virtue.
But compared with the envy and recognition of other officials, Shen Yichen's heart was full of worries, you must know that in history, Yu Qian and Shi Heng turned against each other, and it was precisely because of the promotion of Yu Qian.
But the problem is that now that history has changed, and the timing of Shi Heng's election is also not right, will the two of them still turn against each other?
Shen Yichen couldn't predict the future, he only hoped that Yu Qian would be a little more sleek at this moment, so that Shi Heng would not be unable to come to the stage.
"No!"
"The dog has no merit and no merit, and he has not made an inch of merit in the war, so what qualifications do he have to reward the official body?"
"Wu Qinghou, as a general of the imperial court, does not recommend good generals and talents, does not promote meritorious soldiers, but recommends my son, which is extremely irresponsible for military affairs!"
Yu Qian said these words loudly, but the effect was to make the ministers inside and outside the Fengtian Hall stunned.
Including Wu Qinghou Shi Heng, the civil and military officials never expected that Yu Qian not only did not appreciate it, but also reprimanded Shi Heng in person. Should this be said to be impartial, or should it be said that emotional intelligence is extremely low?
It's time to come after all.
Facing this scene, Shen Yichen sighed, as the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. He can rely on his own ability to change the trend of some history, and he cannot affect a person's temperament.
Yu Qian is the kind of person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, even if this matter is beneficial to him, he will still refuse without hesitation.
Feeling that the scene was a little embarrassing and uncontrollable, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu personally played a round and said: "Yu Aiqing, Wu Qinghou is a good intention, and the follow-up meritorious soldiers will be rewarded." ”
According to common sense, the emperor has come out to play a round, this face should be changed, right?
But Yu Qian retorted righteously: "Your Majesty, the ministers have always had clear rewards and punishments, and favoritism is never allowed. This case cannot be opened and should be punished! ”
When Yu Qian said this, the expressions of the civil and military officials were not only dumbfounded, but in an uproar.
Wu Qinghou Shi Heng was even more stunned on the spot, he never expected Yu Qian to be so ruthless, and even the emperor slapped himself in the face with his ministers. In an instant, his face turned red, and the anger and embarrassment caused by public humiliation made Shi Heng eager to find a crack in the ground!
"Yu Shaobao is selfless, he is a model for hundreds of officials, and his subordinates admire him."
In addition, the minister also believed that Wu Qinghou did not mean to cheat for personal gain, but only out of good intentions. This matter is just a small misunderstanding, and there is no need to delve into it, and I ask Your Majesty to continue to reward the meritorious ministers. ”
At the critical moment, Shen Yichen stood up to prevent the situation from continuing to deteriorate, and at the same time gave the two sides and the emperor a step down.
He didn't know how effective he was in doing this, but if Shi Heng really turned against Yu Qian because of this, then Yu would be unhappy for the country both publicly and privately!
"Shen Aiqing said it well, it's just a trivial matter, Yu Shaobao and Wu Qing's mother need to hurt their harmony."
After that, Zhu Qiyu glanced at Cheng Jing and asked him to continue to read the holy decree and pass this matter aside.
Cheng Jing comprehended the mind, and it did not mean that Qian and Shi Heng had too much to say, so he read out at the top of his voice: "Shen Yichen, the squire of the military department, is specially ordered to enter the cabinet to participate in the aircraft maintenance. ”
Before the civil and military officials could recover from Yu Qian's episode, they heard a reward that shocked them even more. Shen Yichen actually entered the cabinet to participate in the aircraft service with the official title of the squire of the military department, and did not explain that it was a vacant position, does that mean that he has achieved the integration of the cabinet and the ministry and controls the army?
"Your Majesty, no!"
These four words sounded in the Fengtian Palace, and it was not issued by one person, four or five officials in the palace expressed their opposition at the same time, and the scene was much more exaggerated than before Yang Hongfeng was named the Marquis of Changping.
"Hu Aiqing, why not?"
Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was a veteran of the Five Dynasties, the only one who entrusted the five ministers during the first emperor's period, even if he was the emperor, he had to give face.
"Your Majesty, now that the Ming Dynasty is an eventful season, the threat of the Tartars has not been completely lifted, and the military department has a very heavy authority to dispatch troops at any time. Shen Shilang was young and lacked skills, and the old minister was worried that he would not be able to take on this heavy responsibility. ”
Hu Hu's words won the secret nods of many officials.
In his early twenties, he was able to wear a scarlet robe and become one of the six ministers, which was already a young and high position.
Now he is also in the cabinet to participate in the maintenance of the aircraft, and Shen Yichen himself has the title of Dongge University Scholar, which means that he is a real cabinet elder.
At the age of twenty-two, the power is tilted towards the opposition, how dare you not imagine it in the future!
"The minister seconded the great uncle, the cabinet minister held the vote to be heavy, and Shen Shilang also controlled the military power, which is not the way to govern the country!"
Zuodu Yushi Wang Wen stood up against it at the same time, and he said it more directly, the integration of the cabinet and military power, is this to cultivate a future minister?
This kind of scene of joint opposition is naturally impossible without He Pingyan. He was severely pressed by Shen Yichen in the morning because of the problem of avoidance, if this son enters the cabinet to participate in the aircraft service, how can he have a place for himself in the future?
"Shen Shilang did not call the army to go to Beijing at the beginning, but he was already suspected of rebellion, and then he ignored the emperor in the enemy camp, it is not an exaggeration to call him a chaotic minister and thief, please think twice!"
When He Pingyan's words came out, the effect was much more serious than Yu Qian's scolding of Shi Heng, it could be called murderous, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to label Shen Yichen as a chaotic minister and thief, which instantly detonated the discussion of the ministers inside and outside the hall.
"Shen Yichen ignored the Emperor Taishang in the enemy camp, and there is such a thing?"
"No, no matter how you say that the Emperor Taishang is kind to Shen Shilang, and he is also hand-picked as Sanyuan and the first, how can you be a man who can take revenge to such a point?"
"If it is true, what kind of face does this disloyal and unrighteous person have to be an official in the court?"
"That's right, it's shameful!"
Listening to the laughter and scolding in his ears, Shen Yichen's face changed a little, he didn't know what He Pingyan said about ignoring the emperor in the enemy camp, referring to the simple social dialogue on the night of the peace meeting, or the follow-up attack camp himself abandoned Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.
The former's words may have been spread through Yang Shan and Zhu Qizhen's secret decree, but if the latter was the latter, it would be a big problem.
You must know that Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is still in the Northern Hunt, and he can't get in touch with the imperial court at all, let alone be known by He Pingyan, so who is the rumor?
"What's the matter, is Shen Shilang's heart weak?"
Feeling the change in Shen Yichen's expression, He Pingyan showed a happy smile on his face, how many times the two had clashed, it was the first time that he had the upper hand, and Shen Yichen's face changed greatly.
In the face of He Pingyan's ridicule, Shen Yichen stabilized his mind, no matter whether the events that happened on the night of the attack on the camp were circulated or not, it was impossible for him to admit it.
"Weak heart? He Shaoqing, you must know that according to the "Da Ming Law", the vain self-esteem of the official should be punished with twenty rods. ”
"Am I being arrogant?"
He Pingyan sneered, and then continued: "Emperor Taishang's return to Beijing is just around the corner, and this official is looking forward to how Shen Shilang will defend himself when he arrives. ”
Just as the smell of gunpowder on both sides was getting stronger and stronger, a resolute voice sounded from the ranks of military generals.
"Need a defense?"
It was none other than the eldest prince Zhu Yi who said this.
I saw him take a step forward, standing in front of He Pingyan with a coercive momentum, and continued: "When the night attack on the camp of the Mongolian army, it was this official who led the army to kill it, why didn't I remember that He Shaoqing was also at the scene, and I could still know that Shen Shilang abandoned the emperor and ignored it?" ”
That's right, everything has to be evidenced, and that night it was Cheng Guogong who led the army into the enemy camp, and there were only a few parties involved. Unless Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen returned from Mobei and personally told Shen Yichen to abandon him in the Mongolian army camp, who can prove it?
At the same time, Zhu Yi stood up to help Shen Yichen testify, representing the standing of the Chengguo Mansion, and the voice of denunciation and scolding before disappeared in an instant, this is the aftermath of the Daming Guo Gong!
Immediately afterwards, Cheng An waited for Guo Cheng to stand up and said in a warning tone: "He Shaoqing, pay attention to a piece of evidence in everything, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”
Guo Cheng and Shen Yichen have no friendship, but her daughter Guo Yongxin owes Shen Yichen a kindness to tell Liu Qiu about Liu Qiu's grievances for Hanlin Servant. Now that the Chengguo Mansion has completely sided with Shen Yichen, then the same military generals naturally have to hug each other tightly.
Otherwise, if this trend continues, there will be no place for the military generals in the court in the coming days!
"He Shaoqing, be cautious!"
Not only did the military general stand up and exhale, but the cabinet minister Gao Gu also resolutely reminded He Pingyan not to talk nonsense.
In the face of the joint questioning of the ministers, He Pingyan subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute, but the words came to his lips and swallowed hard. He can't tell the source behind it, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Ahem, He Shaoqing is indeed a little unscrupulous, but young people, after all, they are a little arrogant, and you colleagues don't have to make a big move."
Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Yang Shan, the right capital Yushi, immediately stood up and helped He Pingyan to start a round.
If it were an ordinary moment, Shen Yichen would definitely not let go of the opportunity to reverse black and white and beat the water dogs. But he has just mediated the conflict between Yu Qian and Shi Heng, if he makes a big fuss now, the truth of the double standard is too obvious.
There was no way, Shen Yichen could only let go of this opportunity and chose not to talk about it.
"What Yang Aiqing said is that it is normal for Fang Gang's age to have some conflicts, so there is no need to mention this matter again."
Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu took the opportunity to end this topic, after all, this matter is too sensitive, the queen mother is still listening to the government, and it will have a bad impact if she continues to talk about it. In addition, in today's court meeting, he thought that it was to reward the ministers for meritorious deeds, but he didn't expect that the quarrel was constantly filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Even he, the emperor, felt extremely big and a little exhausted.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is really inappropriate for Shen Shilang to enter the cabinet like this, why should he no longer set up a military department to take over the affairs of Shen Shilang, and just join the cabinet to participate in the aircraft affairs with an additional title?"
Chen Xun, the head of the cabinet, who has always been a cold bystander, stood up at this moment and gave a compromise suggestion.
The six Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty are divided into real and fictitious, especially after the status of the cabinet ministers increased greatly in the middle and late periods, the rank of non-commissioned officer of Wupin Diange University is completely insufficient, and the title of the six main and second Shangshu is added by hand, which is worthy of the status and identity of the elder.
As for the first assistant of the cabinet, the stronger one is to add the title of "three princes" or "three orphans". For example, Zhang Juzheng, the direct prince and prince, is a very popular minister!
"This official thinks there is nothing wrong with it, whether it is Shen Shilang going out of the town or the military affairs of Liaodong Governor over the years, it all proves that he is a capable minister who governs the world."
"If such capable ministers don't deal with military affairs, can they let mediocre people take the throne?"
Qian Xili, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is also angry at this time, how to say that he and Shen Yichen also have the status of teachers and students, and he has made such a great contribution just to enter the cabinet, and he has to deprive the military department of the waiter of power, which is really too deceitful!
Seeing that the two sides were about to start another round of disputes, the Empress Dowager Sun behind the bead curtain spoke up.
"The mourning family thinks that Chen Ge's old words are reasonable, the matter of the emperor is not clear, and it is better for Shen Shilang to hand over the military power for the time being."
