Chapter Eighty-Nine: An Unrefutable Charge
When Queen Xu arrived, Zhu Da Fat Man suddenly became honest, bowed and stood tall, as well-behaved as a baby of more than 200 pounds.
Empress Xu looked at him carefully and found that there were still beads of sweat on his sideburns, so she asked, "Your cousin brought you here to practice?" ”
Zhu Gaochi nodded, "Yes, he is holding a bamboo pole and driving me to run...... After the mother, the child did not dare to bully his cousin, but he did not regard me as a prince at all, and he did not respect the child at all. I also hope that the queen mother will make the decision for me. ”
Empress Xu gave him a big look, "Are you out of breath?" Have you learned to complain? You beat Cao Guogong, do you need me to settle accounts with you about this matter?"
Zhu Da Fat's face changed suddenly in fright, and he hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, that is also done by my cousin, he deliberately framed Cao Guogong, please let the Queen Mother know!" ”
"Discern what? The two of us guarded Beiping together, worried and frightened. I'm not thinking about tea and rice, you have a big appetite...... I really didn't expect that I could use this to help you quit gluttony, Jingchang worked hard. ”
Queen Xu stretched out her hand and patted her son's broad shoulder, and sighed: "Your father is brave and good at fighting, and the Xu family is also a famous general." You have two bloodlines, but you are getting more and more obese, you can only read, your mother is anxious when you look at it, don't blame your father for not liking you...... From now on, you will work with your cousin to develop a good body, bow and horse riding and archery, all of which I have learned. In the future, he will be a good emperor with both civil and military skills. ”
Zhu Gaochi grinned, he couldn't run out of Xu Jingchang's palm.
In fact, he doesn't have such strong ambitions, he just wants to live a few more years, ensure his health, and be able to inherit the throne smoothly, but don't have another battle of martyrdom.
He didn't want to say this to his mother, but said: "Mother, my cousin is really good, but I always feel that he has such a great ability, and he is a little wronged to follow me." Now there are rumors outside that someone wants to take his cousin from the position of political envoy through Jingcha...... Queen Mother, can you stand up and tell your father that no matter what, you can't remove your cousin from his official position! ”
This is the key, and Queen Xu turned her attention to Xu Jingchang.
"Virtuous nephew, aunt asked you, do you know the actions of the courtiers? Do you have any plans? If you don't want to, I will use this face to tell Your Majesty that no matter what, you must keep your position. ”
Xu Jingchang smiled, "Auntie, I'm bothering you." They have a way to remove me from the position of political envoy, which proves that I am not capable enough and unworthy of virtue. It wouldn't make any sense if I relied on my aunt's protection and forced myself to stay in that position. If you want me to say, if you dismiss the official, you will be dismissed, I happen to be honest and self-cultivation at home, and I have nothing to do with my eldest cousin to practice kung fu, and then teach His Royal Highness the Pope Sun to read and write. Wouldn't it be nice to go to the palace and see my aunt when I have time? There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case. This is the appearance of a nobleman. ”
Empress Xu looked at her eldest nephew seriously, do you want to say that Xu Jingchang is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune? That's a liar!
But this time there is an undercurrent surging, not to mention that everyone knows it, and it is almost the same.
But Xu Jingchang was indifferent, as if he wished that people would remove him from the position of political envoy...... It's a little strange no matter how you look at it.
"Virtuous nephew, if you really need it, tell your aunt, and she will definitely be able to shelter you."
Xu Jingchang laughed more and more happily, in fact, Empress Xu was like a nuclear weapon to him...... As long as Empress Xu is here, the Xu family will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one dares to risk offending the queen of the dynasty and make a black hand against Xu Jingchang.
This is also the reason why news keeps flowing out and wants to use Jingcha to engage Xu Jingchang.
Otherwise, how could a person who is so cautious make a leaky thing like a flood discharge from the Three Gorges?
He was afraid that he would suddenly take out Xu Jingchang and provoke the queen's anger, so he released the news in advance to test the direction of the wind.
Seeing through this, in fact, I understand the reason why Xu Jingchang rejected his aunt, nuclear weapons can only be placed on the launch pad, but they can't really be shot.
Because of the existence of Empress Xu, she has invisibly helped Xu Jingchang block a lot of wind and rain, if you ask Empress Xu to take action directly and destroy the rules of the court, it will be equivalent to throwing an atomic bomb at the court, and there will be endless troubles.
And Xu Jingchang can't only live on his aunt, it's too unproductive.
"Auntie, in fact, let the little nephew say a crazy thing, it is not easy for the princes in the court to calculate me. The reason why I don't really want to stay as a general political envoy is that the current general political secretary is becoming more and more like a prime minister, and I am from a noble background, which is incompatible with the court. That's why they want to take me down in a desperate way. ”
Xu Jingchang looked at the fire and saw things very clearly.
The power of the prime minister was restored, not to mention the courtiers, even Zhu Di was very jealous, so many people were staring, Xu Jingchang could not do much except for being able to toss hundreds of officials...... After a whole year of hard work, his pocket is cleaner than his face, only the pitiful money and allowance, he is really happy.
Empress Xu listened carefully for a long time and thought carefully for a long time.
Then he stretched out his hand, took Xu Jingchang's arm, and said with emotion: "Virtuous nephew, you are the grandson of the Xu family, and my nephew, the next two emperors of the Ming Dynasty......" She pointed to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, and continued: "They also respect you, we are a family." You don't have to work hard. It's too hard for the Department of General Affairs, let's pick a better position. ”
Empress Xu thought for a while and said, "You first inherit your father's Dingguo Duke, which is a hereditary dukedom...... Then the governor's mansion of the five armies, my aunt will find a place for you. Also, Jinyiwei lacks a metropolitan governor, so I'll leave it to you. ”
When Xu Jingchang heard this, he couldn't calm down.
I thought that what he wanted from Xie Jin was already very excessive, but I didn't expect Queen Xu to have more exciting.
The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is directly in charge of military power, and the Governor of Jinyi Wei is a position above the Discipline Gang.
This can also be given casually?
Seeing Xu Jingchang dumbfounded, Queen Xu thought that he was not satisfied, and said: "King Han has talked to me many times, and now he has more and more industries and more ways to make money.
Many nobles gave him money and made money together.
I also have money in the palace, and I also have some money in my hands. It's not good for the three sons to give to anyone, and they don't have that ability, so I'll just give it to you and let you help the palace take care of the money, what do you think? ”
Xu Jingchang really couldn't say anything.
The Governor's Office of the Five Armies represents military power, Jinyiwei represents unparalleled intelligence capabilities, and manages the royal industry, which is financial power, and there is a hereditary replacement of the national duke, which is no longer a matter of fame and fortune...... This is Qin Shi Huang's family banquet, and it's all a win!
"Auntie, don't you think it's a bit too much? Can Your Majesty's side agree? ”
Empress Xu sneered, "If he doesn't agree, he has to agree, can my aunt brag with you?" ”
At this time, Zhu Da Fat also nodded hurriedly, he knew too well the status of the queen mother in the family.
"Brother Xian, you don't have to worry about anything. We are all relatives, our own people, the queen mother trusts you, and I trust you. ”
Zhu Zhanji, who is a little bit, also said: "Uncle Cousin, I also trust you...... If you can get Master Xie away, don't let him force me to study every day, and I will let you be my prime minister in the future. ”
Zhu Gaochi glared at his unlucky son viciously, "If you continue to be so stubborn, don't want to be an emperor!" Your dad and I have the final say! ”
Zhu Zhanji was so frightened that he obediently closed his mouth and didn't dare to say more, leaving only his little eyes to keep turning.
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Maybe there won't be so much time for the bachelor in the future." ”
Queen Xu came over to probe Xu Jingchang's tone and comfort her precious nephew by the way.
The result was unexpected, Xu Jingchang was already ready, and Queen Xu was too lazy to do much, chatted for a while, and returned to the palace.
The time has entered August, and Zhu Di has succeeded to the throne for more than a whole year.
From the chaos at the beginning of the success of the Jingnan to the orderly order, the national politics have been constantly on the right track, and on the whole, the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is gratifying.
Jian Yi, who is the secretary of the ministry, pinched the big pen that decided the fate of hundreds of officials, and carried out the first Beijing inspection of the Yongle Dynasty.
This is a ghost gate for hundreds of officials, because according to the rules, hundreds of officials need to declare their mistakes, and then the officials will meet with the Inspectorate to comment on the hundred officials and decide on the upper, middle and lower levels.
The upper class will be promoted through evaluation, and the average will not be promoted or demoted, and the lower class will be transferred and demoted.
If the problem is serious, it will also be ordered to be dismissed and returned to his hometown.
It's funny to say, originally this item was very difficult for hundreds of officials, but because at the beginning of the year, Xu Jingchang forced hundreds of officials to make a promise, and now they only need to compare that one and see how the results are, and they can smoothly hand over to the officials.
Therefore, the yamen of all ministries passed smoothly.
Except for some corrupt officials who were found to be corrupt, most of them passed the test unscathed.
It's just that the vigorous Jingcha, if you get the result of clearing the customs for everyone, what is the deterrent?
Everyone is an honor student, so is the honor student still worth it?
As long as the credit for the taxation belongs to the household department, there is no specific charge, since there is no specific charge, it is not reasonable to say how much credit there is?
But the question comes again, there is no merit and no fault, why give Xu Jingchang a bad review?
This made Jian Yi embarrassed for several days...... Seeing that the time was approaching, it really made this Tianguan hold back an idea.
There are eight criteria in Jingcha, namely: greed, coolness, inaction, carelessness, old age, illness, impetuousness, and weakness.
Jian Yi examined it again and again, the first two, Xu Jingchang must not be touched, and the last four cannot be used indiscriminately.
The rest is inaction and carelessness.
Did Xu Jingchang do nothing?
Jian Yi carefully examined all aspects and finally came to a convincing conclusion...... Xu Jingchang, except for Chang Chao, took more than half of the days off.
In other words, everyone else is working diligently, and he is asking for leave to fish.
Also, Xu Jingchang often played chess and drank in the General Affairs Department, and after drinking, he was immoral, and peed in the corner of the General Administration Department...... It's not careful.
These two articles are simply justified and irrefutable.
Jian Yi will inspect the results of the Jingcha, including the language of the hundred official examinations, and submit them to Zhu Di.
"The outcome can only depend on the divine will."
What, continue to code words...... There's one more chapter today...... Did the big guy move......
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
