Chapter 16 Skillfully breaking the situation, a new monarch and a new view
In front of the Fengtian Gate, as the civil and military officials dispersed, it was quiet again.
It's just that the enthronement ceremony is over, but the new dynasty has kicked off, and this "Enthronement Edict" is destined to set off an uproar.
The "Enthronement Edict" was copied by the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and issued to the Southern and Northern Zhili and the Political Envoys of the Thirteen Provinces through the Department of General Administration, and the relevant Yamen needed to be implemented immediately.
The promulgation of this enthronement edict was mild to other aspects of the Ming Dynasty, but it was no less than a bombshell to the salt administration.
The wisdom of the new monarch is far beyond everyone's imagination, and it has subverted many people's perception of this new monarch.
In addition to the unexpected direction of Yan Zheng's swing of the stick in the "Enthronement Edict", the relevant internal eunuchs did not reclaim the power of the eunuchs at all as they had imagined, but selectively recycled them.
It's just that people with a heart know that this method is actually very clever.
Although some of the eunuchs of the Admiral Dayue Taihe Mountain were abolished, the eunuchs of the local city Bo Tiju Division were not recalled, let alone the power to take over the sea.
It is precisely because of this that the expected era of eunuchs being fully taken over by the new emperor has not come, and the new emperor does not seem to be as good as he imagined.
After washing my brain for so many years, I don't know if His Majesty suddenly opened his mind, or if there was another high-finger behind his back?
The emperor is not under control, and the most anxious is the civil official group.
With the death of Emperor Chenghua, Wan'an's status declined rapidly, and many officials had already chosen to change their doors and join Xu Pu's disciples, which was also the reason why Xu Pu dared to mock Wan'an's face for being dark like beans.
It's just that the camel that starved to death was bigger than the horse, and a group of officials in important positions gathered in Wanfu.
Wan An is the orthodox thirteen years of Jinshi, to Shu Jishi into the Hanlin Academy, and then all the way up, in the thirteenth year of Chenghua to replace Shang Chen as the first assistant of the cabinet, has been ten years, and now hangs the title of a young master.
"Motosuke, what do you think of today's enthronement edict being changed so much?" Li Yan, the right attendant of the Governor's Beijing Depositor Department, was a core member of the Wan Party, so he was the first to ask.
When Zhou Hongmo and others heard this, they also looked at Wan'an.
Wan An picked up the teacup sent by the housekeeper, but said with a long sigh: "Maybe all our courtiers have lost their eyes, Your Majesty has actually been dormant all along, and he is as smart as the first emperor!" β
"Motosuke, how can you see it?" Li Yan's brows frowned slightly, and he asked.
Wan An pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the tea cup lightly, then looked up at the blue sky in the front yard and said: "The old man has been in the court for decades, and he already knows the defeat of the salt government, and the "Enthronement Edict" is also involved in this matter. It's just that if you ask the old man how to break the situation, even if the old man dares to point out the collusion between officials and businessmen, he will not want to relax the entry threshold for salt merchants to relieve the pressure! β
Speaking of this, he seemed to realize that he was talking too profoundly, especially when his grandson Wan Hongbi, who had just entered the ranks of Hanlin Shujishi, was present, so he summed it up and said: "It's about salt, and now the edict can be broken, and this alone has won the first emperor!" β
"Grandpa, this matter doesn't make sense! Not to mention that His Majesty has always had a good reputation in the East Palace, but the Five Classics are difficult to understand, if Grandpa can't solve the political evils, how can Your Majesty break it? Wan Hongbi is deeply loved by Wan An, and he is here to express his opinions.
"Hongbi is reasonable, this matter should not be what His Majesty thinks, there may be a high finger behind it!" Zhou Hongmo nodded lightly, also expressing his approval of the authenticity.
Wan An was not a stubborn person, so he nodded lightly and said, "Bi'er's reasoning is also reasonable!" It's just that Your Majesty is indeed different from what we observed earlier, and the old man saw the figure of the first emperor in His Majesty, but it is not a good thing. β
"A good thing?" When Zhou Hongmo heard this conclusion, he looked at Wan'an Dao suspiciously.
Wan An took a slow sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "If Your Majesty is really like the first emperor, he will not believe in the so-called Qingliu, so he will continue to use us to balance Qingliu, and even rely on us to help him implement his ambitions!" β
It is said that people are old and refined, and now this veteran chief assistant who has been in the officialdom for ten years is not to be underestimated, and now he seems to have seen the situation very thoroughly.
Zhou Hongmo and others had always thought that they were going to be liquidated by Qingliu led by Xu Pu, but now they were secretly relieved when they heard Wan An's inference.
Xu's house, in the study.
Xu Pu's face looked very ugly, but he didn't call his friends to discuss, but only called his protΓ©gΓ© Xie Qian.
He has been in officialdom for decades, and he is about to become the leader of a hundred officials to take charge of the government, but when the matter comes, there is a sudden major deviation.
Now that I think about it, since His Majesty is about to succeed to the throne, the prince who once obeyed his words has indeed become a little different, especially his eyes and bearing are not like the prince who was submissive back then.
"Teacher, Your Majesty doesn't behave strangely, but he suddenly became close to Zhang Sheng, and after entering the Qianqing Palace, he summoned Zhang Sheng three times before and after!" Xie Qian also felt that things had become out of control, and even revealed it.
People will inevitably have jealousy and comparison, he and Zhang Sheng are both lecturers in the Prince's Mansion, and he entered the palace earlier than Zhang Sheng, and he seems closer on weekdays, but Zhang Sheng was suddenly favored, and he was not called into the palace once.
Xu Pu has never taken Zhang Sheng in his eyes, but now listening to Xie Qian's revelation of this matter, he immediately said thoughtfully: "If it weren't for Zhang Sheng's doing, he would have made suggestions for His Majesty behind his back!" β
It's just that as soon as the words fell, even when he shook his head like a rattle and denied: "No! Zhang Sheng doesn't have this kind of talent, there must be another master! β
"Teacher, Zhang Sheng is the champion of Chenghua for five years, and this person is indeed smart!" Xie Qian has always regarded Zhang Sheng as an imaginary enemy, and even emphasized seriously.
Xu Pu concluded that it couldn't be Zhang Sheng, so he raised his hand lightly and said: "You go back first, this person must be in the palace, I will have someone investigate!" β
"Yes!" Xie Qian didn't expect that his teacher would have eyeliner in the palace, and he said quietly.
Xu Pu watched Xie Qian leave, but he thought of the third regulation of the "Enthronement Edict", and couldn't help but secretly have a headache, when he repaired a letter to Li Zhiqing, a disciple who was in the two Huai capitals, and transferred the envoy.
Although he has always collected money in the name of Bing Wei and Tan Shu, he is not allowed to let that disciple bite him, and now he has to let this disciple act carefully.
However, there is no need to be too nervous, after all, this kind of decree will be invalid when it leaves the capital, and there is no local official who does not bite people everywhere without long eyes.
At sunset, the Forbidden City looks stunning.
Zhu Youji, dressed in civilian clothes, sat in the East Warm Pavilion, and the sunlight outside reflected in the thin paper window.
It is not only a place to deal with political affairs, but also a study room with a large number of books, a place to meet with courtiers directly, and even a place to pass meals here, but it is a multi-functional office.
Zhu Youzhu sat in front of the study, but he had already ascended the throne, so he could not read the "Zizhi Tongjian" every day, but had to read the notes of the two capitals and thirteen provinces.
Fortunately, Emperor Chenghua is a suitable father, and he has already intended to cultivate his ability to handle government affairs, so he already has experience in how to handle government affairs.
Now, combined with this modern brain, the problems encountered can be easily solved, which is why he was able to cleverly revise the "Enthronement Edict" this time.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid just heard a message!" Huang Pan walked in from the outside and reported with a complicated expression.
Zhu Youzhu stretched his waist, then raised his head and said, "What's the matter?" β
"The Queen Mother recalled Huai En, and now Huai En has arrived in Qingning Palace!" Huang Pan knew the inside story of some things, so he reported it carefully.
When Zhu Youzhu heard the news, his eyes immediately flashed with a fierce color.
