Enko was in full swing, but the ministry suddenly received an edict.

There was nothing else in the content, and the emperor called He Wenyuan, the secretary of the ministry, to talk to the Qianqing Palace.

After all, He Wenyuan didn't know what the emperor was thinking, and he thought about it for a while, wondering if he had done something to make the emperor angry.

According to the custom, the emperor must summon the ministers to the palace.

Especially a minister like He Wenyuan, every time he enters the palace, there is a risk of being investigated or dismissed, but no matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong recently.

In this Enke, under the leadership of He Wenyuan, the Ministry of Officials treated the candidates who came to make up the record fairly, and did not interfere in the management of Enke by the Ministry of Rites.

It stands to reason that such a big matter as Enke should be the presiding officer of the Ministry in charge of the promotion and promotion examination of officials, but this time Zhu Di handed it over to the Ministry of Rites, which has always been regarded as the Qingshui Yamen.

Its intention is naturally to suppress the officials because the status of the officials is too high now.

The previous official secretary was a well-deserved elder in the Ming officialdom, and the former cabinet chief assistant Wang Zhi was the first assistant of the six dynasties but there was no crime to ask.

During the period presided over by Wang Zhi, the Ministry of Officials, as the head department of the first assistant of the cabinet, was second only to Yu Qian's military department in power, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials were extremely popular.

After Wang Zhi stepped down, Zhu Di used means to suppress the officials, which was also a basic operation to check and balance the court.

Of course, the officials of the Ministry of Officials still did not expect this kind of basic exercise, and after being suppressed by Zhu Di, they were quite dissatisfied.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

It wasn't until Jin Yiwei arrested two edicts under the pretext that it stopped.

In fact, it is said that the officials should have expected this situation a long time ago, but the officials were defenseless, and the reason for this was that Zhu Di felt that Zhu Qizhen, the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty God of War, was too stupid.

Perhaps in the fourteen years since he ascended the throne, this kind of basic exercise has never been there, and in addition to fighting with each other, the officials only need to curry favor with Sun Ruowei in the inner court, and everything will be fine.

I'm used to having a smooth ride, and I've never seen stormy waves, so I naturally don't believe it.

It's a pity that they met Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor who seems to be young, but is actually an old fritter in the officialdom, and a thief who plays all kinds of imperial techniques.

Therefore, after Wang Zhi stepped down, the officials were suppressed without accident, and the two waiters on the left and right were transferred, one was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, and the other was sent to Shandong as the governor.

It's okay to go to the Ministry of Industry, at least it's still a Beijing squire, although the reputation and power in the Ministry of Industry are not as good as in the Ministry of Households, at least there is still oil and water to be fished.

It was a bit miserable to go to Shandong, from the third position of the high-ranking officials, to a small governor of the local government in a blink of an eye.

Shandong is a well-known poor place, and even Jinyiwei is reluctant to go to Shandong to run the office, just because there is no oil and water to fish in that broken place.

The most important thing is that the people in the coastal areas of Shandong are fierce, and most of them make a living by selling salt.

Once a crime is committed, it will be a stain on political performance, and the governor of Shandong, as the highest military and political commander in Shandong, is definitely the first to be held accountable.

At that time, the official position will be lightly taken to the end, and it will be cried when it is taken back to Beijing for investigation.

I don't know how many old drama bones who are comfortable in the capital lost their front hooves in Shandong, and in the end, they lost even a piece of shroud.

In addition to these two, most of the other officials were also transferred and degraded, but on the whole, there were still not many people who were transferred out of the capital, accounting for only a small part.

After this blow, the Ministry of Officials can no longer be hard, and the current Ministry of Officials Shangshu He Wenyuan, as the proud protégé of the former first assistant Wang Zhi, is now also walking on thin ice.

This time the emperor was suddenly summoned, he first thought about his own affairs this year, and then pondered all the way, whether he met someone unladylike and made friends carelessly, which made people cheat.

Anyway, in his impression, the emperor suddenly summoned nine times out of ten that it was not a good thing.

No matter how slow you go along the way, there will be a time when you will come to the end.

Qianqing Palace, finally arrived.

He Wenyuan took a deep breath, walked in hard, and bowed down: "He Wenyuan, the secretary of the minister's department, long live your majesty!" ”

Zhu Di was watching the music and pointed with his hand.

"Sit down."

"How many prisoners are waiting for in the Ministry of Officials today?"

He Wenyuan's buttocks were only half sided, and he didn't dare to sit down at all, so he immediately got up and lay on the ground with a puff, although he didn't know why the emperor asked this, he still hurriedly replied.

"Back to Your Majesty, as of last month, there were more than 4,800 alternate prisoners in the Household Department of the Beijing Division."

"There are also more than 3,400 inmates on standby in Nanjing."

Zhu Di looked at Song Shu's eyes for a moment, and then continued to look.

"Then there are nearly 10,000 people, are they all waiting for the supplement?"

He Wenyuan was still confused, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, there are more than 1,000 of them left from the Xuande and Orthodox dynasties, and they are not young, do you want to go and retreat?" ”

"At such an age, you still want to be an official? Just do it for him, and how many years can he do it? ”

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "You went to clear the inmates who were over forty years old. ”

He Wenyuan nodded hurriedly, but heard Zhu Di sigh: "There are only so many prisoners waiting in the north and south of Beijing, and there are so many people who participate in Enke, in addition to these people, how many years in the world are there to prepare for the scientific examination?" ”

Hearing this, He Wenyuan understood a little and asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty means that you want to reduce the first palace test of Jingtai in three years?"

"That's not what I meant, it's useless." Zhu Di raised his hand, motioned for Wang Zhi to come in with a notebook and hand it to him, and said:

"I'm wondering if the way Guozijian teaches now is a bit old-fashioned and old-fashioned by using these people who are waiting to be officials."

Hearing this, He Wenyuan was hit hard.

When he came, he had considered countless ideas, but he had not thought of this possibility, and the uneasiness on his face gradually dissipated, but he was still cautious.

"The teaching method of Guozijian is designated by Emperor Taizu of the Hongwu Dynasty according to the old system of the previous dynasty, and it cannot be easily changed, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di glanced at him He Wenyuan when he heard this, and was quite displeased.

"I know, do I still need to say it?"

He Wenyuan hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty again and again.

Zhu Di also knew that it was useless to call these people here, and what they said was polite words, and they couldn't find the slightest fault with the scene.

If you really want to innovate, you have to find someone who dares to speak.

"You can go, call Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, Wang Wen, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Jin Lian, the secretary of the household department, to come to the Qianqing Palace, and let them come immediately."

"By the way, the scholar of Dongge University is also called, he is young."

He Wenyuan was even more confused, but he hurriedly agreed and walked out.

No matter what new ideas the emperor has, there is always nothing to do with him, and the rest is tossed up by the emperor.
