Zhu Houzhao can also see fireworks blooming in the air in the palace city, and the big court meeting is indeed not suitable for once a year, but the regret that comes from this is that such a lively scene cannot bloom every year.

Gotta figure figure it out.

"Your Majesty, it's still cold outside."

"I know."

What Zhu Houzhao was holding in his hand was a military newspaper.

I was still thinking about Shanxi.

He was not surprised that this kind of small rebellion that knew the news in advance ended up like this, but although there was no surprise, Wang Shouren and Yan Biyun helped the imperial court control the impact of a rebellion after all.

Originally, according to the plan of these people, they first set off a rebellion of important ministers in the Beijing Division, and externally supported King Shen nominally and stood on their own, but if it really came to pass, it was actually still a little troublesome.

Although it is said that the final outcome will not end well, this influence will spread to other border towns, and by that time the imperial court is afraid that it will be exhausted to quell the rebellion.

From this point of view, Yan Biyun was rewarded, and Wang Shouren was also rewarded.

Speaking of Yan Biyun, he is the same year as Wang Shouren, a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and he is about forty years old, and he would not dare to be called a middle-aged person at this age in ancient times, so he can be said to have a relatively long life if he lives for a few more years.

As for his original official position, Tixue, the full name of this official position was Tijiao School Official, which was established at the beginning of the first year of orthodoxy, and the main background of its birth was the deterioration of official education, which made the imperial court think it necessary to set up a special supervision official for the education system.

In the north and south of the Zhili, the promotion of education is part-time by the supervision of the imperial history, and the thirteen provinces are filled by the deputy envoy or the secretary of the judge, and the rank is either the fourth or the fifth grade.

Therefore, Yan Biyun does not belong to the system of commanding envoys in Shanxi, but belongs to the department of inspection and envoys, but the two have frequent exchanges with each other, and it is normal to have banquets.

Looking at his past resume again, Zhu Houzhao found that Yan Biyun had served as a governor and an official, and the common denominator of these positions was that they were all auxiliary officials in the yamen, and they had almost never been the number one, but they were all second and third leaders.

If a forty-year-old person wants to cultivate, it is too late, and it is impossible for everyone to be a late bloomer.

However, his contribution is not small, and it is necessary to carry out a major promotion to commend his merits, and demonstrate to more people what it means to prosper and perish.

"This Yan Biyun, what do you want to say about rewarding him?"

You Ji glanced at it secretly, and only bowed his head, "Your Majesty's holy candle shines, and the slave doesn't dare to say much." ”

"I forgive you for the sin of gaffe, and let it go."

These slaves and maids have to go through such a form, as if otherwise, the Son of Heaven will kill him.

"Yes. Judging from the humble opinion of the slave maid, Yan Tixue is loyal, bold and careful, and this incident in Shanxi is even more risky to pass on the news. Therefore, the slave maid thought that in order to show the benevolence and righteousness of our emperor, it would be appropriate to be promoted to three levels in a row, he was originally a fourth-grade official, and a three-level promotion was from the second-rank ......"

From the second grade is already very large, the local political envoy and the inspection envoy are the third grade, and the governor is the second grade.

In Beijing, from the second grade is the squire official, Dali Siqing is actually only the third grade.

But rank is one thing, because of the Ming Dynasty's low-grade and high-power operation mode of cabinet scholars, in fact, rank has become one of the factors to measure the importance of an official.

Of course, no matter what, if you want to rise to this rank, it will be a skyrocket.

Stepping on the right step, life changes, Yan Biyun is a realistic example.

“…… From the words of the second grade, the slave maid thought that he could be awarded the servant officer. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily, the squire is actually good, stay up for a few more years, and boil the person above, then you can take over Shangshu, then it will be different.

But he always felt that this was not enough.

Yan Biyun desperately wanted to come to tell him regardless of his life, in fact, his ability is secondary, and the key is this loyalty.

As an emperor, he had to make good use of this loyalty.

The next day, all the six cabinet ministers entered the palace, and they all came to congratulate the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao flipped through a few books, and said smoothly: "Shanxi's affairs are handled lightly, the government and the opposition should not talk too much, the past is over, but the offenders cannot be taken lightly, and the matter is handed over to Wang Shouren with full authority. It's a simple matter, but you should discuss how to give them two awards. ”

Yang Yiqing said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wang Shouren dispatched troops and quickly extinguished the rebellion, which should be the first credit. Wang Shouren can grant the crown prince Shaobao and the governor of the city, continue to be the governor of the Hetao Military District, and Yan Biyun can be awarded the squire of the Criminal Department. ”

The prince and the governor are both positive and second-class, and there is nothing wrong with the problem.

However, Zhu Houzhao felt that it was too easy for Wang Shouren to extinguish a small rebellion.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!"

"Oh?"

It was not someone else who raised objections, it was Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua, who said: "Yan Biyun, as a scholar, is willing to take risks for his extraneous responsibilities, which shows his courage, and if it were not for his secret report, the court would not know about Shanxi." Therefore, the minister thought that Yan Biyun should be the first credit. As for Wang Shouren, although he led the troops to quell the rebellion, firstly, His Majesty had already laid out the plan, and secondly, his account was all elite soldiers of the imperial court, and his merits were really insignificant, so I implore His Majesty to praise him gently, so it is enough. ”

What kind of drama this guy sings, everyone in the room can see it.

However, when he sings, others have to sing along, Zuodu Yushi Zhangmao said: "The words of the great uncle are impartial, and he does not disturb the public heart with his personal feelings, and he is a gentleman." ”

Zhu Houzhao has a headache, the Book of Rites and the Imperial History of Zuodu, these two are the ones who like to talk to him about gentlemen and villains the most.

"That's it, the prince Shaobao will forget it, I look forward to him making new contributions, and it will be too late to reward him when the time comes, and the governor is still in charge of things, after all, he is the governor of the Hetao, such a large area, there are people and soldiers, and it is inconvenient to act with a low rank. Uncle Zong, what do you think? ”

The emperor took care of both sides like this, and gave some face, which was an ordinary operation, Wang Hua didn't say much, and immediately said: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

In fact, Wang Shouren's reward is easy to get, because everyone knows that the emperor trusts the father and son, even if he doesn't rise this time, he will rise next time.

The difficult thing is Yan Biyun.

Zhu Houzhao also thought about it for a long time, "As long as I make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, I have never hesitated to reward them, let alone such loyal ministers." In addition, the imperial court is the time to employ people at this time, and it seems that such an official who is willing to work hard, how can I treat him badly? But I didn't think about the six squires and other places. I would like to confer on him an inspector. ”

The Son of Heaven's ideas are always somewhat unexpected.

Wang Wei hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty wants him to inspect?" ”

The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth curved, "Sweet potato promotion." ”

When these four words came out of the emperor's mouth, Yang Tinghe was shocked in his heart, this kind of inspection is distrustful of him?

However, even if he had such thoughts, it was difficult for him to say them directly. Thou art upright and sit up straight, what are you afraid of patrolling?

The rest of the people didn't expect this to be this place, in the past, there were salt patrols, river patrols, this patrol sweet potatoes, who would have thought?

But then again, salt is important, river is important, and in terms of today's sweet potato yield, it is just as important.

The key is that Yan Biyun is competent, the so-called inspection is to go down on behalf of the emperor to see how this thing is doing, as long as you have basic qualities, don't be coaxed too thoroughly, that's it.

After all, Yan Biyun also became the deputy envoy of the inspection, and he has been an official within the yamen for a long time, but he understands this little Jiujiu of grassroots officialdom.

So he's a good fit.

"Jiefu."

When Yang Tinghe heard him, his body shook, "The minister is here." ”

"Zhengde should have bred a lot of species in four years. Zhengde will carry out large-scale promotion in five or six years, and you must arrange the provinces in advance of the promotion, officials, farmers, seeds, planting methods, etc., there are a lot of affairs, plus once the scale is rolled out, you will be alone and lacking skills, even if someone fools that is also tired of supervision.

Therefore, sending people to inspect is not to find fault with you, but actually to assist you from the side, with such a person, the effect of promotion will be better, and the output of food will be higher. You have to take a long-term view, sweet potatoes are very important, and they are one of the most important government affairs that I am most concerned about, and they are of great significance to the Ming Society and the people of the world, do you understand? ”

Yang Tinghe didn't dare to say more, "The minister understands that the minister must fulfill his duties and responsibilities, and he will never spoil His Majesty's plan!" ”

He and Yang Tinghe had a few words, and the others also took this opportunity to slowly react, sweet potatoes are so important, they really need an inspector.

Hanging the Qincha, adding the title of waiter, although there is no real position, but since then it is also one of the most important officials, and the previous mention is gone.

Yang Yiqing thought about it and felt that it was more appropriate to connect the promotion and government affairs, rather than throwing him a waiter, as if he was giving an explanation to the outside world.

In fact, the so-called governance of the country is sometimes pieced together with many details.

He is also suitable, and you are suitable, so that all the affairs of the country are in order, and in the absence of major wars, more and more wealth will naturally be gathered.

Yan Biyun still doesn't know that he has now been lifted from the 'grounding order', because the chaos is over, and he doesn't have to hide in the house all the time.

It just so happened that officials from all over the country were entering Beijing, and he, a Jinshi who had been in the 12th year of Hongzhi, also had many friends. Regardless of what the palace does to him, after holding it for a few days, he will always find a few friends to get together.

So when he received the decree, he was actually at a banquet with a few friends.

As soon as it was announced, these people's reactions were the same as those of the ministers, but after thinking about it, they felt that their Yan brother was afraid that he would have to rise to prominence from now on.

"In August last year, when the sweet potatoes were harvested, the Son of Heaven led his ministers to the ridges of the fields, which shows that the Manchu Dynasty attached great importance to this matter. Brother Yan has been promoted to this 'Patrol Potato Imperial History' this time, that is, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and the road is smooth! ”

Yan Biyun was touted, and he also felt hot in his heart.

This strange position was unthinkable even if he wanted to break his head before, but as his friend said, His Majesty's arrangement valued his loyalty.

The ups and downs of life are really in the blink of an eye, and now this opportunity, he has earned it!
