Chapter 20 Personnel Layout

The human society, the officials in charge of personnel, have been the best since ancient times.

The Ming Dynasty's official books were no exception. After the revocation of the prime minister by Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the six Shangshu have elegant titles, such as the Hubu Shangshu is called Dasi Nong, and the military Shangshu is called Da Sima, all of which are ancient official positions from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, the feudal dynasty is just a few big things.

However, the nickname of the official department is Otsuka Zai, which is comparable to the prime minister in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the first person to hold this position is Zhou Gongdan.

And in addition to Otsuka, it also has an elegant name, called Tianguan.

Officials who have stood up to the sky!

However, no matter how much the officials who stand up to the heavens, they have to bow respectfully when they see the Son of Heaven.

"Give Lao Tsukazai a seat!"

Chongzhen gave an order, and immediately a little eunuch was busy bringing a seat for Wang Yongguang.

Wang Yongguang was busy thanking him, and he was apprehensive.

There are no impermeable walls. In the past few days, the news has spread in the capital, and it is just a stand-in that has been cut by a thousand knives, and everything is a bitter plan arranged by His Majesty.

The reason why Jianzhou withdrew was also because Yuan Chonghuan pretended to break away, but in fact captured Zunhua and Luanzhou, cutting off their back roads.

Before Yuan Chonghuan didn't fire a shot, he let Jianzhou besiege the Beijing Division, and the Qing Dynasty of the imperial court was already boiling against Yingtian, and they all scolded this person for being ill-intentioned and not a good person.

Wang Youguang and his auxiliary minister Qian Longxi were not on good terms, and seized the opportunity to mainly behead Yuan and punish Qian.

At this moment, seeing that Yuan Chonghuan had obviously become a celebrity in front of the emperor again, Wang Yongguang was of course very worried in his heart.

How did he know that Chongzhen did not use the topic to play and directly take down Wang Yongguang.

The officials must be in their own hands, but for now they have to count on Wang Yongguang to help them do some dirty work.

Seeing that Wang Yongguang was uneasy because of the Yuan Chonghuan incident, Chongzhen was secretly happy in his heart, so he couldn't help but take advantage of his fire.

It is better to make the work than to overdo it.

Instead of using a person with great merit, it is better to use a person who is always worried about being punished.

In this way, he will do things more dedicatedly.

Chongzhen is talking about everything, and it is not on the topic.

Wang Yongguang couldn't hold back at first, and took the initiative to ask, "I don't know why Your Majesty urgently summoned the old ministers?" ”

Chongzhen sighed, "Old Tsukasa Zai, do you know that the biggest worry in my heart is not Jianzhou. ”

Wang Yongguang's heart trembled, seeing that the emperor did not mean to finish his words. I had to say, "Jiannu is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he can be destroyed with his hands, so why do you need to strain the saints?" ”

Chongzhen shook his head, "Jumping clown? If it is said that before Salhu, there is some truth. But it has been almost 20 years, and now it has no less than 100,000 iron riders, and millions of serfs of all ethnic groups, and its strength should not be underestimated. I heard that the chief of Nanu even intended to change his name to Dajin, in order to imitate the confrontation between the Jin State and the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

Wang Yongguang continued to curry favor, "Your Majesty, Hu Lu has no luck for a hundred years. After the death of the thief chief Nurhachi, the successor did nothing, and this time he was blocked from Zunhua. Under the righteousness and martial arts, it will be wiped out! ”

Chongzhen continued to shake his head and said, "Old Tsukazai, although you are familiar with civil affairs, you are not familiar with military affairs. ”

"I, the Ming Dynasty and Jianzhou, have fought many battles, and have been defeated repeatedly, and there is not one out of ten veterans. The strength of the troops is quite in the field, and it is impossible to destroy it in a single battle. I just have more important things to worry about. ”

Wang Yongguang said in his heart, can there be something more important than foreign enemies? It seems that there is only a party struggle that lasts for four dynasties.

Thinking about it like this, Wang Yongguang was a little flustered, could it be that because I have always been hostile to Donglin, I regarded me as a eunuch?

So he said tentatively, "Your Majesty, isn't it because of the endless quarrel between the DPRK and China?" If you want me to say, this party struggle is purely caused by the Donglin Party and the gang of people who set up private schools and the party is different from each other. Now in the court..."

Before Wang Yongguang could finish speaking, Chongzhen interrupted him again.

"Naturally not, since the eunuch party was expelled from the court and the "Three Dynasties Essentials" was rebuilt, the atmosphere of this dynasty has already taken on a new look, where is there any party strife?"

This is the precious experience accumulated by Chongzhen's many simulations, that is, do not repeat Chongzhen's mistakes, ostensibly curb the party struggle, but actually participate in the party struggle.

As a result, Chongzhen's most trusted first assistant, Wen Tiren, was not a party on the surface, but in fact, he secretly ganged up behind his back, and then used Chongzhen's disgust with party strife to clean up dissidents.

If you want to solve the problems accumulated in the party dispute, it is useless to just shout and shout and kill, only to secretly observe and clean up the rat feces that disturb the court every day.

Chongzhen seemed to hesitate about something, and then suddenly said as if he had made up his mind, "What I'm worried about is that there are corpses in this court!" ”

As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, Wang Yongguang was glad that he was not beaten into a eunuch.

On the other hand, I was also a little sad, why did our civil and military officials have a vegetarian meal, and they couldn't help but defend themselves and their colleagues.

"Why did the emperor say this? All the ministers are dedicated to assisting the saints. Although the times are difficult, the achievements cannot be immediate. But after all, there is no merit, there is also hard work..."

Chongzhen sneered, "That's exactly what it is, there is no merit and hard work." Cheng Tian used this sentence to perfunctory, that day the Jianzhou army pressed the city, you didn't see it. ”

"That military department is still in use, and if you can't strategize, you will add to the chaos. Cao Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was confused about the major affairs of the military state. ”

"As for the others, they don't say anything when they need to take on the role of advice, and when they see that the burden on their shoulders has been lifted, they come to the spirit."

Chongzhen sighed, "The cabinet is added up, and there is no one who can really come up with ideas for strengthening the army, reassuring the people, and gathering wealth." ”

Of the six books, only the household department is self-strict, the Ministry of Etiquette is like a pet, and the old mound slaughters you, which can be regarded as a good job. ”

When Chongzhen said this, Wang Yongguang was naturally flattered.

So Chongzhen pushed the boat down the river and said, "Old Tsukazai, are you willing to worry about me?" ”

Don't say that the emperor values himself so much, even if the emperor doesn't say it, as a courtier, it is also his duty to worry about the monarch!

Wang Yongguang fell down, "The minister will not give up." ”

"Good!" Chongzhen motioned to the little eunuch who had been waiting for a long time on the side, and handed Wang Yongguang a letter sealed with fire paint.

"After Jianzhou retreats, I will re-recommend the cabinet and the candidates of the six ministries, and the list of officials at that time will be based on this."

Wang Yongguang was terrified in his heart, and understood that Chongzhen was dissatisfied with the court's response, and was ready to launch a major blood change in the name of his own officials.

"Your Majesty, is this move too aggressive? I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the court. ”

Chongzhen shook his head, "If the court is not turbulent, I'm afraid that the turbulence is this Ming Dynasty!" ”

Hearing Chongzhen's categorical tone, Wang Yongguang subconsciously glanced at the envelope.

The power and dignity of the officials lie entirely in the right to nominate and suggest this list, and Chongzhen intervened so that he, the secretary of the ministry, was like a puppet.

"Your Majesty, before the court pushes, can the officials take a look at this list before making a decision?"

"I've made up my mind, so why do I need to do it?"

Chongzhen glared at Wang Yongguang warningly, "Before the court pushes, this envelope cannot be opened, let alone let me hear the slightest rumor from the outside world, otherwise it will be severely punished!" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this doesn't fit the system." Wang Yongguang had no owner, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

More important than losing face is that this kind of officialdom earthquake must make the cabinet boss as the party concerned prepare in advance.

Otherwise, they would not dare to question the holy will, but they would inevitably suspect that they were acting arbitrarily as a minister and were slanderous, which led to their dismissal.

Although Wang Yongguang has always disliked Donglin and regarded himself as a non-party, he still understands the importance of harmonious colleague relations in officialdom, otherwise he would not be able to become a heavenly official of the ministry.

Offending the top civil officials of the Ming Dynasty is simply killing him!

Chongzhen just glanced at him lightly without expression, "Inspector Yuan privately negotiated peace and beheaded generals, I'm afraid it doesn't match the system!"

"But instead of listening to the slander of some people, I gave him a great credit."

"Because I know that even if Inspector Yuan violates the rules, his original intention is to share my worries, not like some corpse vegetarians, although they are honest on the surface, they actually don't take me seriously at all!"
