Chapter 409: Asking for Officials (I)
"Hurry up, don't get hot with the elders in the Wuying Palace."
At the turn of noon, Cao Huachun, the celebrant and the celebrant Bingpen, when he was about to arrive at Donghua Gate, caught a glimpse of the small fire people carrying ice cubes, and thought they were slow, so he couldn't help shouting.
The little flamers trembled and bowed in response, spread their legs, and ran in the direction of the Wuying Palace.
Long live Lord summoned important members of the cabinet there today. His Royal Highness Wu Ying did not dig a cool well, so he had to rely on ice to cool down.
Cao Huachun came to the gate of Donghua under the scorching sun, picked up Zheng Haizhu, who was waiting here, and took him to Wuying Palace.
"Grandpa Cao, your eyes are swollen and crying?" The relationship between them is no longer an outsider, Zheng Haizhu looked at Cao Huachun's face and asked bluntly.
"Alas, madam, our family is also a mortal fetus, with a conscience, godfather, these days, I can't eat much rice porridge, can I not be in a hurry?"
Zheng Haizhu knew that he was talking about Wang An.
Since dealing with Wang An, Zheng Haizhu has always gotten along well with this late Ming eunuch who has a decent evaluation of the young history.
Two people with the same IQ level know how to maneuver around a group of self-esteemed ministers, set up a stage for each other, dig up the grace and trust from the Son of Heaven, and bless their own power.
But if you talk about love, Zheng Haizhu is definitely not as deep as Cao Huachun to Wang An.
At this moment, her more real reaction was that she was a little glad that she and Dongchang had made a timely move on Wang Tiqian.
In everything, it is established in advance, and if it is not prepared, it is wasted.
If he didn't arrange the chess path in advance and pull out Wang Tiqian's fierce rival, now is the time for him to take advantage of Wang An's critical illness to make waves.
Zheng Haizhu then calmed down and comforted Cao Huachun: "Everyone has come to this point. Fortunately, you can take over the burden from the hands of the prince. The prince's greatest concern is the long live lord and the crown prince, and he will be at ease with you in the future."
Cao Huachun is also the big man of the top power group in Yin, listening to Zheng Haizhu mention this stubble, not only is he not disgusted, but he also quickly comes out of his sadness and returns to the right path of political animals.
"Cough, Ming people don't say secret words, this time about another prince, our family is from the bottom of my heart, thank you, madam."
"Thank you, let's help each other, it's easier for me to do it, I'm here," Zheng Haizhu looked around, his voice was lower, but his tone was more sincere, "Today I went to Wuying Hall to ask for an official position, also so that I can be a horn with Lao Cao and you in the outer court."
"Hey, yes," Cao Huachun nodded.
Taking a breath, he hurriedly fed the woman beside him the news of the court that he had touched with the convenience of the celebrant Bingbi: "Although Zuo Guangdou is a Donglin, you helped his subordinates impeach Wang Tiqian for embezzling Mo Changping Yalu this time, adding political achievements to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and saving a few points of Donglin's face in Jingcha this year, he has a number. Today, Long Live Lord called him, not Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hehe, hehe......
Zheng Haizhu said, "Okay, that's pretty much it."
……
When the two hurriedly stepped into the Wuying Palace, Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Jiamo, the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Zuo, the secretary of the ministry, Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Zuo Guangdou, and the left attendant of the military department, Xiong Tingbi, had already arrived.
Cui Jingrong, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, was reinstated due to his old age, and Xiong Tingbi was reinstated, and his qualifications were not enough to be the official of the Ministry of War, so he temporarily took the post of squire, and Ye Xianggao hung the title of secretary of the Ministry of War.
Cao Huachun is now the second-in-command of the ministers whose status is second only to the seal of the celebrant and the celebrant, but he bowed to the ministers of the cabinet with a humble face.
"Our family and Mrs. Zheng are in a hurry, but it's still too late, so we will accuse and accuse. Speaking of which, Mrs. Zheng has no official position, except for going to the Wenhua Hall to speak, every time the Lord of Long Live summons her, she has to be brought in by our celebrant supervisor."
Zheng Haizhu leaned over slightly, stood behind the huge copper basin piled with ice cubes in the hall, and saluted the ministers.
Zhou Zuo, a scholar in the ministry, heard Cao Huachun say the words "no official position", and the corners of his mouth pursed meaningfully, Zheng Haizhu couldn't see it, and he didn't need to see it.
In the Ming Dynasty Hall, the official department Shangshu, known as the "Heavenly Official", according to the transaction agreement reached early in the morning, was originally her assistant today.
And from the Taifu Temple Qing ascended
Bi Ziyan, who was an official to the household department, and Xiong Tingbi, who was picked up from his hometown in Hubei and ushered in the highlight moment of his career again, have also been revealed by Cao Huachun in front of the holy time, and Mrs. Zheng recommended them in front of the emperor.
"Hooray, Lord has arrived."
Outside the hall, a newspaper was sung, and everyone hurriedly greeted the holy car in the same posture and in the same direction.
"Hey, Master Zheng, what are you doing standing by this basin? Go sit on a chair."
As soon as Zhu Changluo entered the Wuying Palace, he said to Zheng Haizhu in a relaxed tone.
It is not a great dynasty, a small range of the emperor's hand-picked list, the Ming Dynasty is the same as the Song Dynasty, and the ministers all have seats to sit.
When everyone sat down, Zhu Changluo's face suddenly became not very good-looking.
"Today, I have summoned all of you to discuss a trivial matter. But this matter is really not small. Ye Ge Lao, the goose feather city near Qinghe Fort in Liaodong fell into the hands of Jiannu, Xiong Shilang told you, right?"
Ye Xianggao said: "As soon as Tang Bao arrived at the military department, Xiong Shilang asked the Secretary of General Affairs to inform the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor."
"Hmm," Zhu Changluo continued to lean forward a little and said solemnly, "What I'm annoyed about is not that the Ming army suffered a defeat, but that ...... Madame Zheng, tell me, what should I be annoyed about, or rather, what should I be worried about?"
Zheng Haizhu came prepared, and carefully said: "The ministers should worry about His Majesty's worries. The minister heard that Jiannu Zhenglanqi adopted the tactic of 'besieging the city and sending reinforcements' this time. coincided with the death of Qinghe guard Zhang Pei, the new garrison was not appointed, and the grain and grass could not be transported to the surrounding military forts. Therefore, behind the fall of Goose Feather City, to put it more seriously, is the delay in the transmission of military intelligence and the transmission of government orders on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and even misreporting and underreporting. In such a situation, if we let it go, today is after the Qinghe garrison died of illness, and no new official arrived in time, tomorrow, perhaps, the general of which important town in Liaodong died in battle or surrendered, I don't know."
In the Wuying Palace, there was silence.
The ministers of the cabinet are all people who have been old in the eunuch field, and from the emperor's way of questioning and Zheng Haizhu's response speed, it is somewhat estimated that Zhu Changluo may have summoned Zheng Haizhu alone in advance, after all, the latter is among the people present, except for Xiong Tingbi, another person who has been to Liaodong on the spot.
And her greater advantage than Xiong Tingbi is that she directly participated in the battle between the Ming army and Nurhachi very early, and has been doing business with Liaodong for several years, so she must be very familiar with the situation there.
Therefore, she does have the most right to speak, not to mention that this long speech is not unreasonable, maybe the Son of Heaven wants to use her mouth to say it to the ministers and officials here.
