Chapter 306: Ascending to the Sea Ruiguan
As for Wang Xijue.
Zhu Yijun decided to elect him to the cabinet because he received his suggestion to strengthen liaison with Siam in order to curb Burmese aggression at a smaller cost of war.
Zhu Yijun had to admit that Wang Xijue still had a unique vision, and he could actually think of using diplomatic tactics to achieve military goals.
Of course.
In history, Wang Xijue is indeed quite far-reaching and unique in terms of his views on the current situation.
In the twentieth year of Wanli, the Bibai Rebellion and the invasion of Korea by the Japanese invaded Korea at the same time, and Wang Xijue was the main battle faction of the Japanese War at that time, and when he was called into Beijing by Wanli as the first assistant, he asserted that the Bibai Rebellion was not to be feared, and the real enemy was the Japanese invaders who invaded the country eastward, and the final facts also proved that the Bibai Rebellion was indeed quickly pacified, but it was quite difficult to achieve the victory of aiding Korea to resist the Japanese.
Visible.
Wang Xijue does have some ability in the planning of military strategy.
And in this life, he also had the opportunity to get in touch with the core because he went to the cabinet in advance and served as a cabinet bachelor, so he noticed that Siam could become the help of the Ming Dynasty.
Historically, Siam was indeed very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and also dealt a heavy blow to Burma in history, and even the monarch of the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma died in battle.
No further ado.
So far, the cabinet ministers have become the first assistant of Shen Shixing, Pan has become the second assistant, and Yu Youding, Liu Yingjie, and Wang Xijue are the new entrants.
In addition, the secretary of the ministry was succeeded by Zhang Xueyan.
Zhang Xueyan is a capable minister who is familiar with finance and border affairs.
Next, the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty is to use troops and collect money from abroad, so the selection of the governor is particularly important, first of all, the selection of the governor is required to be good at collecting money and taxes from the outside world, and also be good at quelling the rebellion.
And this means that the secretary must be good at discovering talents in this area.
"The position of Otsuka Zai must be Zhang Qing."
The Hall of Politics.
When Zhu Yijun recommended the list in the imperial court, he directly crossed out Yang Wei, the left attendant of the official department, who was recommended by the courtiers and was known to be Qingwang and advocated reducing the number of troops and military expenses to save expenses.
Zhang Xueyan therefore got up and thanked him.
Then, Zhu Yijun began to set a new household book.
Although Zhang Xueyan, the original secretary of the household department, will not necessarily become the secretary of the ministry when he pushes the court, according to the convention, the court will first introduce a few ministers who are suitable to succeed Zhang Xueyan, and if Zhang Xueyan is designated as the secretary of the ministry, so that the Son of Heaven can choose.
"Let Hai Rui return to Beijing to serve as the head of the household."
Zhu Yijun chose to be succeeded by Hai Rui.
Guy Hairui was a reformer in history.
For example, during his tenure as governor of Nanzhi, he took the lead in implementing the reform of the system of enslavement, and also created a low-cost achievement that the Wusong River water conservancy project only cost more than 60,000 taels.
It can be seen that Hai Rui's financial management ability is also very strong.
And in this life, Hai Jui also performed very well in the tax reform of the official gentry to pay grain and errands.
Therefore, in Zhu Yijun's view, Hai Rui is qualified for the post of household secretary.
In addition, in this way, Zhu Yijun does not have to worry about the appearance of rats in the household, after all, Hai Rui is supervising, and I believe that those who want to move the state funds to their homes have to be restrained.
Of course, it's time for Hai Jui to return to Beijing.
Regarding the lack of a secretary in the Ministry of War, Zhu Yijun chose Zhou Yong, the former left attendant of the Ministry of War, to take over and concurrently serve as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, but he was ranked behind Qi Jiguang and Liang Menglong in the Privy Council.
Now the Privy Council has a privy envoy and three deputy envoys, the first deputy envoy is Qi Jiguang, who is in charge of the military governor of the Fifth Army, the second is Liang Menglong, the secretary of the military department who is the assistant Rong Zheng, and the third is Zhou Yong, the secretary of the military department, who is the acting minister.
Wang Chonggu, who accompanied him, was also specially appointed by him as the minister of the cabinet, Jin Shaofu.
Yan Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has resigned from the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department due to serious illness, and was promoted to Shaobao by Zhu Yijun's decree, and entered the cabinet to participate in the revision of the criminal law.
Therefore, the secretary of the criminal department also needs to recommend new candidates.
As for the new secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhu Yijun directly chose to be taken over by Yang Wei, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials.
Because although Yang Wei is a financial economy, he has always been fair in terms of personality, and when he was in charge of the trial of Wang's minister, he resisted the pressure of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng to frame Gao Gong and kept Gao Gong; And in history, because Zhang Juzheng was copied too ruthlessly, he tried his best to speak for Zhang Juzheng.
Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was also seriously ill and could not even get up, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, and Zhu Yijun also approved his resignation.
Zhu Yijun chose to let Pan Jitao take over as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry after the court push.
Pan Jitao is an engineering technocrat.
Next, the important direction of the Ming Dynasty reform is to benefit the people's livelihood, and the people's livelihood involves the construction of a series of projects that benefit the people without labor, and at the same time realize that the money collected by the imperial court will flow back to the people again.
And this requires an official who has the ability to understand engineering to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry to preside over a major national project.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun chose Pan Jitao.
And after determining which courtiers to be promoted to the new ruling minister, Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing:
"If Master Shen thinks that what Ting Tui and I have decided is inappropriate, you can speak out, so that you can be able to govern and be harmonious when assisting the government in the future, and you don't have to wait for me to make a holy decree and then squeeze out, so it is not the way to use people."
Shen Shixing got up and said: "My colleagues are all ministers, Your Majesty is a holy monarch, and those who are selected can be of great use, and the ministers have no objections, but I only feel that in such a time when the people are in power, if they can't make the country more prosperous and the people more prosperous, then it will be difficult for the ministers to atone for the crime of misleading the country and the king!" ”
What Shen Shixing said was not all flattery.
In fact, because Zhu Yijun did not liquidate Zhang Juzheng's party, the ministers who are now overflowing in the ministers, except for some clear streams that have not yet shown their water, are basically capable ministers who made remarkable achievements in Jiajing Longqing and the early Wanli period.
Whether it is Pan Cheng and Yu Youding, or Zhang Xueyan and Pan Jitao, including Fang Fengshi, Qi Jiguang, and Liang Menglong of the Privy Council, because they are all retained by Zhu Yijun, Shen Shixing said that he can't be a good first assistant like this, which can only be said to be a misguided person who misunderstands the country and the monarch, but it is not a heartfelt statement.
Zhu Yijun bowed his head, then got up, put his hands behind his back and walked to Yu Youding: "You and Wang Xijue are both Hanlin Qingliu who entered the cabinet before going to the place, and according to the custom, you have to inspect the place and ask the people about their sufferings and local ills for a year. ”
Yu Youding arched his hand and said, "The minister understands! I dare not live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the people of the world. ”
"Where does Master Shen want them to go on patrol?"
Zhu Yijun asked Shen Shixing.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has discussed with Yu Ge Lao, and plans to let Yu Ge Lao inspect the Tianxia Academy to prepare for the establishment of the new ceremony next."
"As for the elder Wang, the minister thinks that he should make a coastal patrol to prepare for the next clear production of maritime trade! What's more, Wang Ge was born in a wealthy merchant family, so he naturally knows the details of trade and trade. ”
Shen Shixing replied at this time.
"Ready!"
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "After the summer and autumn taxes are collected, I will order the second secretary to inspect according to this intention!" ”
"Yes!"
Here, Yu Youding suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please go to the place before the minister, and the minister will go to the edict." ”
Zhu Yijun and the ministers present all looked at him in surprise.
Zhu Yijun asked directly: "Why do you want to go to the Imperial Prison, and Qing also has to go there to reflect and reflect?" ”
Yu Youding said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is not to introspect, but to be the place where the world is fine, the first is the Imperial Prison, although the Imperial Prison is not a academy, but it is better than a academy, so the minister has to go to the Imperial Prison first anyway, and know what is the place where he can truly feel the way of teaching." ”
"Accurate!"
"Zhang Whale, give Yu Qing a waist card of Beizhen Fusi, and prepare a comfortable cell for him, Yu Qing can stay in it as long as he wants."
Zhu Yijun agreed to Yu Youding's request and instructed Zhang Jing.
Zhang Whale said yes.
Then, Zhu Yijun looked at Fang Fengshi: "Fang Qing's family!" ”
Fang immediately bowed his hand: "Listen to the hadith." ”
"It's been a while since Qing came out of the Imperial Prison, how did you and Jiguo Gong discuss in the Privy Council, and do you think this Burma will be destroyed or not?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
