Chapter 163: The Speaker Betrays His Own People
Zhang Juzheng also followed Zhu Yijun's intentions and asked the Imperial Secretary to draw up the holy decree of setting up Fujian Xingquan Dongbing Road and Dongpeng Mansion, and promoting Xie Jie to Dongpeng Mansion.
Rising and descending secretly is the way for those in power in the Ming Dynasty to deal with disobedient officials.
That is, it is not good to punish you openly, after all, you are opposing yourself within the allowable rules.
Then I have no choice but to promote you openly and secretly, and first promote and transfer you out to serve as a foreign official in the name of reuse, and no longer serve as a spokesperson.
In this way, there will be wise people who will desperately find out what is wrong with you in order to please those in power, and then impeach you and punish you.
It's just that the difference this time is that the place where Xie Jie was promoted was a newly established prefecture, that is, the later Taiwan and Penghu regions.
Xie Jie also knew that the result of his handling would definitely be nothing more than dismissal, dismissal or promotion, at worst, it would be a court rod and exile.
He knew that it was impossible for Zhang Juzheng to kill him.
After all, he is refuting the admonition according to the system, and if he is killed, it will be tantamount to blocking the way of speech and destroying the ancestral system.
Moreover, Xie Jie also believes that Zhang Juzheng will not spend such a big price just because he wants to achieve his goal of strengthening the military power of the Son of Heaven.
This is undoubtedly not cost-effective.
Therefore, after Xie Jie saw the eunuch in the clerical room coming with the holy decree in the six departments at this time, he said proudly to several of his colleagues who intersected with the six departments:
"Presumably the holy decree to dispose of me has come, but I don't know whether it will be exile from the court staff, or dismissal from office, or relocation."
As he spoke, Xie Jie looked at his colleagues and said, "No matter what the outcome is, you don't have to defend me, so as not to implicate you, so that the court and the central government are all Zhang Dang's people; ”
"Besides, whatever the outcome is, it's good for me."
"If it is the court staff exile, it further proves that he Zhang Juzheng is going to cut off the way of the world, blinding the public and hearing the public, and it has also fulfilled me;"
"If you are dismissed from office, you will just return to your hometown and go into hiding, and you will never ask about political affairs;"
"If it is relocated, it will benefit the people."
"The openness and open-mindedness of the public make me admire, and I can be described as a true gentleman!"
The Criminal Section left Zhu Hongshou in the matter, and at this time he said a word to Xie Jie, and said: "But if the court staff is exiled, and please rest assured, my Criminal Department will not issue a driving sticker!" ”
At that time, the eunuch of the clerical office also came to the Liuke Corridor with the holy decree.
Zhu Hongshou came over first and asked the eunuch: "But for the criminal department?" ”
Then, Zhu Hongshou stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Give it to me, I am from the criminal department, and I will issue it!" ”
Xie Jie glanced at Zhu Hongshou in surprise, and his heart was on fire.
But at this time, the eunuch looked at it, and the official on duty talked about Dashu in the matter: "It's for the official." ”
Xie Jie, who was on the side, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and his eyebrows relaxed.
Because the decree was issued to the officer, it meant that it was only to deal with his position, and not to involve criminal punishment, and he would not be exiled by the court staff.
"It seems that the Son of Heaven is also benevolent!"
Talking about Dashu, he couldn't help but say it first.
Then he took the decree and, when it was unfolded, looked at it carefully in the name of checking for typos.
It's just that when Dashu looked at it, he was dumbfounded.
Xie Jie also found that his friend Tan Dashu's brows were getting tighter and tighter.
"Add Xingquan Dongbing Road and Dong Peng Province...... Promoted to the prefect of Dongpeng Prefecture, in order not to abandon a minister and not to dethrone a sage, but to show the heart of the heavy material. ”
Tan Dashu read it after reading it.
"Dong Peng Province, Dong Fan Island?"
Xie Jie couldn't help muttering at this time, and then collapsed directly to the ground.
Blank eyes.
Tan Dashu was also stunned.
Seeing this, the eunuch in the clerical office was a little impatient, so he asked, "I don't know, do you want to issue it or do you want to refute it?" ”
"Can't be issued!"
Xie Jie suddenly shouted, turned to look at Tan Dashu, and cried: "Brother Zishi, Jiangling wants me to die!" Please help me! ”
"How dare you disobey the will of the Lord!"
After Tan Dashu thought about it, he said this, and then after signing it, he went to the General Administration.
Zhu Lian was arranged by Zhang Juzheng in the matter, worried that the officials on duty would not be sensible in the matter, and wanted to refute the holy decree, and at this time he happened to come to the sixth department, and seeing that Tan Dashu had already gone to the General Administration Department with the holy decree, he stopped him, so he asked:
"But the purpose of the Dongpeng Mansion?"
Talk about Dashu nodded.
After hearing this, Zhu Lian smiled, walked towards Xie Jie, and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Gong Gao for being promoted to Mansion Yin, you have to wear a red robe from now on!" ”
Xie Jie ignored Zhu Lian and only went to the cabinet.
At that time, another eunuch from the clerical office came and asked, "The edict of the military department." ”
At this time, another member of the military department came over and took over the edict of the military department.
The content of the edict was the edict on the reorganization of the six guards of the Son of Heaven that had been refuted by Xie Jie before, so he didn't say much, but directly issued it and went to the General Administration.
"Emperor, the edict has passed through the political secretary and has gone to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and the cardinal minister and the soldiers have received the order."
Not long after, Zhu Yijun, who had just finished playing the five-bird drama in the Imperial Garden, learned from Zhang Whale that his edict to reorganize the six guards of the Son of Heaven had been successfully issued, and he said that he already knew.
Then, Zhu Yijun took out an oracle from his sleeve and gave it to Zhang Whale: "Give this oracle to Xie Jie and tell him that if he has a good experience, I will still reuse him, and I don't have to worry about no chance to move inward." ”
Zhang Whale said yes and took the commandment.
And Zhu Yijun smiled slightly and walked around the imperial garden.
He knew that this kind of situation of the six sections being refuted would not have much impact on his exercise of power.
Because as long as the civil servants are not of the same mind, there will always be opportunities to break through.
Nowadays, the flowers and trees in the park are lush and lush, and the scenery is just right.
Even if it only rained last night, it did not damage the scenery, but added a bit of charm.
It's just that Zhu Yijun walked and walked, and suddenly asked Zhang Whale: "Among the orphans I adopted, how many of them are waiting to serve after graduation this year?" ”
Zhu Yijun's Xingming Academy, since the third year of Wanli began to adopt the orphans of the martyred pro-military guards and border military academies, and let Xu Wei and other famous scholars teach him to study, it has been nearly five years now.
Today, there are about 200 orphans who have grown up to be over 14 years old.
There are more than 30 people who have graduated from Xingming Academy and have been sent to serve in Jinyiwei or border towns.
There are already five Jinshi who have passed the examination, and all of them have been sent to the local Renzhi County.
Although there are only five Jinshi in the middle school, and none of them are first-class, there are actually quite a few.
Because in this era, many provinces, many times, there is not a single one.
Of course, the reason why he can win so many now is also because Zhu Yijun has increased the quota.
It also has to do with the fact that these orphans have received the best education.
Of course, it stands to reason that Zhu Yijun can directly give these orphans who graduated as Jinshi.
But because he considered that this might make the hard-working scholars of the world dissatisfied, in order to avoid such jinshi, he was despised by the people of the world, and some people with ulterior motives were not allowed to deliberately create the identity of orphans in order to be lucky.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun did not do this, and still let the orphans he adopted have to participate in the civil and military examinations in order to achieve fame.
As for those who feel that they are not the material, or who are unwilling to take up a career, they will be assigned to other ministries and given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
For example, he served in some ministries in the inner court, managed the imperial store, and even participated in various academic researches, and even arranged to enter the Jinyi Guard and the border army.
Those who fail to pass the imperial examination for the first time or more will be forcibly placed in ministry, but they will be retained the qualification to participate in the imperial examination.
"Seven."
Zhang Whale replied at this time.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded: "Let them prepare for the exam, I will personally test them in Yuntaimen, and the content of the test is the culture, physical fitness, arithmetic, ideology, and history they have studied in Xingming Academy, and then they will be assigned to the pro-military guard according to their grades." ”
Zhang Whale said yes.
Zhu Yijun Next, he asked Zhang Whale to pass a decree to let Xu Wei enter the palace, and he asked questions with him, preparing to test these orphans of Xingming Academy who urgently needed to arrange their ministry.
Soon after, after receiving the edict of the reorganization of the six guards of the Son of Heaven, the Privy Council began to ask Chen Wenliang's battalion, which was transferred to Jizhou Liao to defend the southern army, to return to Beijing and be incorporated into the pro-army guard, and to assist in the defense of the Beijing division, and to ask for the reinstatement of Hu Shouren as the governor of the military capital to enter Beijing.
Of course, nominally, he only invited the southern soldiers to assist in the defense of the Beijing Division, but in fact, he helped the training of pro-army guard recruits.
The revival of Qi Jiguang's old department, Hu Shouren, is also for this.
