Zhai Ruwen was a bachelor of Hanlin promoted by Zhao Huan, and when he heard that there was no Hanlin Academy in the "One Pavilion, Three Academies and Six Departments", he couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask the Generalissimo, will the Hanlin Academy be canceled?" ”

"No," Zhu Ming said, "but there are some changes in power and responsibility. ”

This thing of Hanlin Academy, in the middle and early Tang Dynasty, was not even counted as a serious official office. All of them are talents, specializing in accompanying the emperor for leisure and entertainment, and to put it bluntly, they are the helpers raised by the Son of Heaven.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the emperor couldn't trust anyone, and began to reuse the group of people around him, serving as a consultant part-time, and participating in the drafting of the internal system.

In the Song Dynasty, Yuanfeng was restructured, and the Hanlin bachelor became the third product. Those with the words "Chengzhi" are the emperor's advisers and drafters; Those with the words "intellectual system" can only draft internal systems and cannot concurrently hold other positions.

The internal system is a special edict issued by the emperor himself, canonizing the queen and the crown prince, promoting the prime minister to the book, or telling the people of the world, this kind of holy decree belongs to the category of the internal system. It must be written by "Hanlin Bachelor's Will" or "Hanlin Bachelor's Knowledge", if they don't want to write, then they can only get rid of it and replace it.

In order to ensure that the General Administration Yuan would not be seized by the cabinet, Zhu Ming handed over the drafting power of the internal system of the Hanlin Yuan to the General Administration Yuan. In addition, the drafting power of the foreign system (ordinary edict) was handed over to the cabinet subordinate to the imperial office.

The cabinet created by the father and son is close to the Jingtai, Hongzhi, and Zhengde periods, and has huge power but is checked and balanced.

The General Administration Yuan is a weakened Department of Ceremonies and Supervisors, and there is the shadow of the General Administration Department during the Zhu Yuanzhang period.

Let's compare it to this, the cabinet is the Council of Elders, the General Administration Yuan is the general office, and the six ministries are the ministries.

The Inspectorate is a big killer, directly under the leadership of the emperor. As long as it is an official of the Inspectorate, no matter how low the rank is, the emperor needs to appoint it personally, and the cabinet and officials only have the right to recommend. The new emperor wants to rectify the court, and the Inspectorate is a sharp blade that can easily cut the opening.

Seeing that Zhai Ruwen still didn't understand, Zhu Ming said in detail: "In the future, a list of Jinshi must first enter the Hanlin Academy and be seconded to the cabinet or the General Administration Yuan to observe the government. After serving as a local magistrate, he was promoted to a magistrate for at least three years. Then continue to govern the local government as appropriate, or transfer to the six ministries, or transfer to the middle school, or to read and speak, if you return to the court, you will also serve as the left and right Chunfang. ”

"Got it!" Zhai Ruwen stopped talking.

The Hanlin Academy is a talent storage department, and most of them will produce a lot of prime ministers.

But compared with the Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ming made another change, that is, he had to be a magistrate.

The promotion path of the Hanlin official has been decided-

First, he became a junior official of the Hanlin Academy, and was seconded to the Cabinet or the General Administration Yuan for internship, so as to familiarize himself with the overall operation of the country.

Then go to know the county and the state.

Depending on the specific situation, they can continue to be promoted to the prefect or transferred back to the central government. After returning to the Central Committee, he either served as a department-level official in the Sixth Ministry, or went to the cabinet as a senior secretary, or worked as a low-level adviser to the emperor. At the same time, he also served as the position of Chunfang, that is, a subordinate official of the East Palace, and established a relationship with the prince.

Of course, there are also those who stayed in the Hanlin Academy to compile books.

You can choose to engage in academics all the time, and you can only go to the Ministry of Rites to be promoted to a special position. If you want to develop greatly, you must be trained as a magistrate.

Zhu Guoxiang announced the first appointment after arriving in Beijing: "Zhai Ruwen, a bachelor of the old Song Dynasty Hanlin, can be a cabinet minister and an assistant to political affairs." ”

"Minister, thank you!"

Zhai Ruwen was overjoyed, he actually became the deputy prime minister.

The officials of the old Song Dynasty were envious, but they could understand it, who made Zhai Ruwen Marshal Zhu's teacher?

Qin Hui is also very happy, Zhai Ruwen is not only Zhu Ming's teacher, but also his Qin Hui's teacher.

Even they have a closer relationship, when Qin Hui was the principal of Mizhou, Zhai Ruwen was also demoted to the governor of Mizhou. Qin Hui was able to get the Maoke exam and make a comeback in the officialdom, but Zhai Ruwen recommended him to take the exam!

Hu Anguo's ability to become the leader of the Qin Party in the Southern Song Dynasty is also related to Zhai Ruwen.

Zhai Ruwen introduced You Xing (Cheng Yi's student) to Qin Hui, and You Xing was friends with Hu Anguo. You Xing admired Qin Hui very much, and Hu Anguo had been friends with Qin Hui for more than ten years, and immediately helped after meeting.

When Qin Hui was not a traitor, everyone spoke highly of him.

The first evaluation is "good at contemptible", that is, Qin Hui is good at handling official and mundane affairs, no matter what public and private affairs he encounters, it will definitely be no problem to hand it over to Qin Hui anyway.

Another evaluation is "Knowledgeable and thoughtful", not only do things beautifully, but also erudite and thoughtful, so that everyone can be satisfied.

After Qin Hui's original form was revealed, Hu Anguo chose to continue to cooperate.

And what about Zhai Ruwen? Break off friendship with Qin Hui directly!

He was recalled to the court by Qin Hui for only two months, and he chose to resign and live in seclusion, regretting that he had lost his eyes and promoted such a thing.

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "The old Song Dynasty Baojing Army made the Dao of the Planter, and could be a cabinet minister and an assistant to the government. ”

The planter was not there, so he went to Yang Zhi as a staff officer.

The planter has returned to Tokyo, and at this moment he is in place of his brother Shane.

The two ministers, one is the grandfather of Zhu Ming's concubine, and the other is Zhu Ming's teacher, they seem to be giving Zhu Ming face.

In fact, the Seed Master Dao represents the generals of the Western Army, and can even represent all the generals of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Giving him the position of deputy prime minister can make the generals of Zhao and Song feel at ease, and Yao Gu, Liu Yanqing, and Zhe Keqiu can be more neat when handing over military power.

On the other hand, Zhai Ruwen represents the demotion of officials in Tokyo, and at least a deputy prime minister position must be arranged for these demoted groups. While appeasing the demoted officials, Zhai Ruwen's status as a teacher can make the Sichuan team have nothing to say.

Li Bangyan is a little anxious, why hasn't he reached himself yet?

Sure enough, Zhu Guoxiang said the name of the third minister: "The old Song Dynasty Shaozai Li Bangyan can be a cabinet minister and an assistant to the government." ”

"Thank you for your grace." Li Bangyan was overjoyed.

After all, this product made a great contribution in the capture of Tokyo, and he was the prime minister in Zhao Song, so it is unreasonable not to give a cabinet minister.

If he can stop, he may be able to die well in this life.

But it is estimated that it will not stop, so I will see who will do it.

There are a total of five cabinet ministers, Zhang Gen Shoufu, Gao Jingshan Shifu, Li Bangyan ranked third, Seed Master Dao ranked fourth, and Zhai Ruwen ranked fifth.

The ones who can really get ideas are actually Zhang Gen and Gao Jingshan.

Zhu Guoxiang said again: "Liang Yi, you are here to be the general political envoy and take charge of the general political court." ”

A young man in his twenties came out of the ranks, so young that countless people were shocked.

This is Zhu Guoxiang's chief disciple, and even half of the righteous son, who arrived in Beijing with Zhu Guoxiang and helped Zhu Ming manage the coal shop. Before raising troops, he actually managed Daming Township, and then assisted Zhu Guoxiang in managing Sichuan.

Don't see the thirty-year-old, Liang Yi is actually the person who is most familiar with Zhu Guoxiang's administrative style, and it is very suitable for him to be the director of the General Office of the Central Committee.

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "Chen Dong, you are the imperial history of the capital and in charge of the Inspectorate. ”

Chen Dong is also young, it is estimated that he has more experience in the past few years, and he has become more calm than before, and his face is expressionless when he receives errands.

followed by the secretary of the ministry, which was handed over to Li Hanzhang.

Li Hanzhang is almost forty years old, but he still looks too young compared to this position.

Three appointments in a row finally made everyone remember that this is a brand-new imperial court, which exudes a new spirit from the inside out.

Six books of Shangshu were named one after another.

Zhao Shu, the secretary of the military department, and the Zhao Song clan, returned to Shun after taking Sichuan.

Qian Chen, the head of the household department, is a businessman who donates money to buy officials.

Meng Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the chief village teacher of Daming Village.

Liu Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was originally the criminal envoy of Lizhou Road. At that time, Hanzhong was attacked, a bunch of officials were captured, and a few notorious ones were killed, and a few were also recruited by Zhu Guoxiang. Since then, these people have all served in Sichuan, and Liu Ying is the most outstanding among them.

Zhao Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the founder of the Fengli Canal in the Northern Song Dynasty, is currently dismissed from his post and is retired in his hometown. But his son, Zhao Fengji, who designed and built the Hanzhong Mountain River Weir, is currently inspecting the Jingbei area, responsible for rectifying the floods and swamps in Jingbei.

When his name was read, Qian Chen was so moved that he cried directly, knelt down in the hall and shouted: "Thank you for cultivating through the Strategy!" ”

Everyone felt that it was nonsense, and this reaction was too earthy.

According to the etiquette system of the Song Dynasty, officials were not allowed to kneel in the Daqing Hall for private matters, but they could kneel before the persuasion.

Qian Chen didn't care about this, he couldn't think anymore.

A guy who doesn't bother to take care of business, donates money and food to be an idle official, doesn't squat at home, and runs to the mountains to take office. Now that he's suddenly made a Tobe Shangshu, guess how excited he is?

Meng Zhao was similar, even a little frightened.

He doesn't know much etiquette, and he doesn't have a deep study of the "Book of Rites", can this Ministry of Etiquette Shangshu be competent?

"Xu Fuyan, you are here to be a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and you are in charge of the Hanlin Academy," Zhu Guoxiang said, "Zhao Ji left a large number of classics, and you select one hundred and twenty old Song Dynasty officials to sort out these written things." In addition, preparations were made for the compilation of the History of the Song Dynasty. ”

"Yes!"

Xu Fuyan was actually a little unhappy in his heart, he was obedient with Liu Xuan, and his official position was higher than Liu Xuan.

But now, Liu Yang is in charge of the Criminal Department, but he can only be in charge of the Hanlin Academy, a Hanlin Academy whose power has been weakened.

Li Bangyan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shi Yuangong, why didn't this contemporary Kong Ming catch anything?

Shi Yuangong smiled, as the marshal's henchman, he had countless fine works under his hands, how could he be compared to the functions of ordinary officials?

Don't look at Li Bangyan as the deputy prime minister, but in front of him Shi Yuangong, he always has to pretend to be a grandson.

"Zhu Ming," Zhu Guoxiang looked sideways at his son, "You come to be a privy envoy, and the opening of the palace is the same as the three divisions." ”

Zhu Ming finally stood up and went to the hall to thank him.

Zhu Ming's old friends and subordinates were all promoted, but there was no need for Zhu Guoxiang to announce it on the spot.

For example, Qian Chen, as the son of a princess, is familiar with various etiquette systems and was arranged to be an official in the Ministry of Etiquette.

Another example is Hou Xuan, who has not seen him for many years. But before Zhu Ming was admitted to the Jinshi, this one came to listen to his lectures, and took Zhu Ming to listen to the music with him, and was arranged to be a temple in Honglu Temple.

Lu Zai, who rented a house for Zhu Ming to live in, was recruited into the capital a while ago. Halfway on the passenger ship, his wife also gave birth to a son, who was already named Lu You, and was appointed by Zhu Guoxiang as a waiter in the Criminal Department.

Year of the Yellow Turtle, the Waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhang Bo, the squire of the Ministry of War, was responsible for connecting the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and returned after handing over the Shandong army to Zhang Shuye.

Even Zhu Ming was too punctual in Puzhou, and the three who were transferred to poor counties due to his involvement, because they took refuge with the father and son early, they were all promoted to the prefect level this time.

Bai Chongyan, Zheng Hong, Ling Guxu, Min Zishun and others, naturally not to mention. They must continue to serve in the localities, train them according to the line of the senior members of the party, and if they really do not have the ability, they will be transferred back to the central government to take up the position of Qinggui.

It's not cronyism, it's that the father and son don't trust the old Song Dynasty officials for the time being, and the team in their hands is really insufficient.

Li Gang was thrown to be Zhizhou, Zhu Ming thought that he had a good character, but his ability to do things was very problematic, and he needed to be trained in the local area.

Qin Hui is just the opposite, his ability to do things is top, but his conduct is worrying.
