Chapter 65: New Strength
The old East and West official halls were adjusted and reorganized, and the training camp of the mighty regiment selected by Teng Xiang Siwei and Jiang Bin was also involved.
At the two-day court meeting, Zhu Houxi once again confirmed: The original plan was to squeeze out the vacancies among the impostors and send away all the excess and waste, which will definitely not work.
Now, in addition to the 26 guards of Shangzhi, His Majesty requires the Beijing camp to ensure a full supply of 50,000 elite soldiers this year, and restore it to the standard of a total of 150,000 within three years!
There is a group of people who want to be pushed down, and they have to fight for the new positions that will be created next year and the year after, and the selection of candidates is only a preliminary issue.
It's easy to get enough people, but the emperor spent so much effort and gave enough silver taels, is it just to make enough people?
There are many specific strategies on how to train elite soldiers, how to manage logistics well, and how to properly handle relations between the new three battalions and the military headquarters and the ministers.
The Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces was also asked to come up with a complete strategy from their point of view, isn't this embarrassing for them?
"Did you go to Gongsheng to find someone to catch a knife?" Zhu Houxi laughed when he heard Zhang Zuo's report, "It was Guo Xun who ran forward and backward among the ministers, and Qiu Yue's grandson was responsible for delivering the post to the inn and foot shop, where the tribute students stayed?" ”
Zhang Zuoxue was obedient, but replied dutifully: "I have eaten a lot of soup behind closed doors, and the reputation of Hou Ye's grandson is not easy to make." ”
Is getting close to the lord so hindering the declaration and future promotion?
Zhu Houxi sighed and shook his head: "I am really speechless. ”
Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin were stunned, what kind of new word is this?
As the emperor has few restraints, Zhu Houxi used this word to express Gongsheng's dissatisfaction with the distinction between civil and military, and also expressed his disappointment at the unuse of his ministers.
After thinking about it, he continued: "The resume of the lords that Zhang Yong asked Zhang Yong to take out before, which also mentions some descendants of the lords such as Cao Guogong and Xinguo Gong who have been removed. Zhang Zuo, you go back and tell Wei Lin, let Jinyiwei visit their ability and character. ”
The lord was abolished like this, Zhu Houxi was expected.
The resetting of the three major battalions this time will also be a process of reshuffling within the military generals.
Just like the clan, if you catch the reason, Zhu Houxi is planning to demote or even remove a batch of seals, and even form a statute in the future.
As for the training and selection system of military generals, he has also been thinking about it during this time.
Those are very far-reaching things, but there is one more thing that can give another signal.
"The decree went down, and the feast on the second day of the first month, with Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, was the feast of knowing the scriptures, and the four ministers were the same as the feast. In addition, let the imperial doctor go to the Xianning Marquis Mansion to see Qiu Yue's illness. ”
Stupid is a little stupid, but at least it is heartfelt, and it should be encouraged.
……
At present, the most concerned about the military generals in the capital is the strategy of resetting the three major battalions.
Wenchen is most concerned about how Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong will fight later, whether they can decide the winner before Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren and others arrive in Beijing, and when Yuan Zonggao will enter the cabinet.
How will the Qian Ning and Jiang Bin cases develop in this situation?
The Metropolitan Procuratorate asked Xie Changjie to participate in the trial, because after all, he was also the position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he could be regarded as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven.
And Xie Changjie specially went to visit Wang Qiong, the secretary of the ministry: The remaining sixth- to third-grade vacancies in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, can't Xie Changjie recommend more people for His Majesty?
His Majesty's desire to strike a balance has been seen at a glance, and as the former chief of the palace, Xie Changjie felt that there was nothing wrong with him visiting Wang Qiong.
This is a feeling that Wang Qiong has not experienced for many years: in the past, Emperor Zhengde was too lazy to do a head-on pull with Yang Tinghe, and his Wang Qiong's ability to stand firm largely relied on the good words of the ministers and Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others.
Now the gate of his palace is coming in more and more.
Wang Qiongtan did not refuse those who came, only saw people, but did not accept gifts.
The same is true for Xie Changjie.
He was already convinced that this young man was not ordinary.
He is a secretary of the ministry, but he understands better that he is the emperor's official secretary.
The emperor said that he didn't want to suddenly move anyone because he didn't know the character and talent of the hundred officials, of course, this was to protect himself, the opposition of Yang Tinghe, but the emperor must really think so.
In the palace, Wang Qiong took the lead in arranging for his staff master to start doing this.
"No matter who you are, everyone who has come to visit you has to sort out a detailed resume." Wang Qiong said solemnly, "In the past, the attitudes and remarks on major events, the deeds and official voices of certain positions must be sorted out. ”
“…… Dong Weng, do you really want to be so detailed? The staff paused, "Then Xie Changshi ......"
"Naturally, it is said that it is other people, how to use it from the former ministers of the Qiandi, Your Majesty has his own ideas. You have been with me the longest, and you know many things about many things. If you don't know, ask the official. Wang Qiong frowned and said, "The tide will come again when the tide recedes, and many people will definitely go to work this year." At this time, every position must be counted in the officer's mind. In addition, I will prepare another letter today. ”
"Dong Weng, please speak."
Wang Qiong frowned, and her tone was serious: "There are indeed virtuous people in the field. This official is a great heavenly official, and he should be a virtuous person for the country. Your Majesty has great ambitions, and he takes the great gifts of the world as his own responsibility. Not only can I not do harsh government and increase endowments, but also to strengthen my great financial plan, the former household secretary Sun Jiao can be a heavy responsibility! ”
"Sun Jiufeng?" The staff was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Dong Weng, wonderful wow!" Sun Jiaoben was a native of Anlu Prefecture, and Zhengde returned to his hometown in eight years because of his power and luck. At that time, Liu Liu and Liu Qi were conscripted, and Sun Jiao planned appropriately. The front has ensured the food and salaries of the officers and men, and the relief of famine relief in the rear is in an orderly manner. He has the friendship of his fellow villagers, but also has the prestige of talent, and he is still the former ...... of the Dong Weng Household Department"
Wang Qiong's face was awe-inspiring: "This is a big deal, there are not so many calculations." With only his talent and resume, Sun Zhi and others have been revived! ”
At the time of the Imperial Meeting, the Son of Heaven put the gift and money together and said it clearly, and the first topic of the subsequent national policy meeting was also money. The burden of 2 million military salaries a year, as well as the major events that will be in the next three years, all have to be paid for.
The first thing is the emperor who audited the accounts, and later the emperor who also emphasized money in so many things, Wang Qiong, who went from the household department to the military department and served as the secretary of the ministry, has experience in the three important matters of financial power, military power, and personnel power.
Now that the emperor has protected him, Wang Qiong must really be able to do things.
In this way, the so-called defects in character can be tolerated.
Of course, at this juncture, he can't accept a single gift, and he can't make it difficult for the emperor.
If he is impeached with solid evidence, can he really expect the emperor to cleverly arrange and suppress Yang Tinghe every time?
……
“…… Little Marquis, if you don't just refuse, now that the palace test is imminent, you really have no intention of doing anything else. ”
In the inn where he lived, Huang Zuo frowned and dismissed Qiu Luan's "good words and persuasion".
Jane is still in the emperor's heart, and now Huang Zuo really feels that his life is hard.
Last year, a special exception was made for him, and Mao Cheng, who took the examination after losing his guide, has now been demoted to the people for the crime of disloyalty and disrespect, and this matter has spread all over the capital.
It was no surprise that the events of the first court meeting were reported to the public, and it was not only the officials who were talking about it?
Back in the room, there was a knock on the door, and after Huang Zuo opened the door, it was Zhang Xuan from the same department.
"Xi Zhai is still worried about whether he can take the temple exam?" After Zhang Xuan sat down, he looked at the door again, "It is really unheard of for the ministers to go to the tribute to find someone to catch a knife and draft a strategy. ”
As a relatively famous person among the Gongsheng students, Zhang Xuan was also found.
But right now, Huang Zuo was shunned by many people, but Zhang Xuan came over to comfort him: "Your Majesty, Shengming, will not implicate you because of this." Wang Jimei is Mao Cheng's son-in-law, so it's just that he is panicked. You and Liang Ge are always fellow villagers, how can he not help you with a few kind words? ”
Huang Zuo just frowned: Why is my imperial examination road so bumpy?
Mao Cheng was demoted to the people, which was a storm for the court, and for some people, it was a tsunami that would affect fate.
He is involved in the sensitive matter of His Majesty's succession to the throne, and Prince Liang, who has always been regarded as a "good man", how can it be convenient for him to help him touch the emperor's scales?
……
Qiu Luan, who had been running outside in the rain for a day, went to the Wuding Marquis Mansion first, and when he entered the door, he saw Guo Xun receiving orders, and he quickly knelt down.
“…… Minister Guo Xun received the decree, thank Your Majesty for your grace! ”
Guo Xun took the holy decree with tears in his eyes, and Zhang Zuo, who announced the decree, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, Your Majesty has restored the old system for you." ”
"The minister is inexplicably grateful, and he can only repay the gentleman's kindness!" Guo Xun held the holy decree in his hand, his expression was quite excited, and there were really tears flashing in his eyes.
"Your Majesty also asked our family to tell Master Hou."
"Listen to the Holy Message!"
"Your Majesty said, don't kneel more, stand and listen."
Guo Xun stood up even more moved.
"The Divine Message: I look at the music, not the writing, but the content." Zhang Zuo smiled and asked again, "Master Hou, do you understand?" ”
