Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 548 I said someone is not a trick

In the cabinet, when Zhu Jian spoke like this, Li Shi did not argue, but nodded slightly, and said.

"What Zhu Ge said is that the old man's consideration is inappropriate."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, still in the posture of being silent rather than everything.

In fact, among the entire cabinet, or the entire imperial court, Li Shi is the one who feels the most fear.

Unlike Zhu Jian who showed his sharpness as soon as he came to the cabinet, although he has been in the cabinet for nearly half a month now, Li Shi still has a strong sense of unreality.

Unlike so many ministers in this room who have been in the ups and downs for many years, Li Shi is a real newcomer to the officialdom.

In the sixth year of Zhengtong, Li Shiju took the provincial examination to solve the Yuan Dynasty. In the next year, he passed the examination and officially entered the official career. He was awarded the imperial history for the first time. He was transferred back to Jingzhong to serve as Li Ke to Shizhong.

For him, this move is both a promotion and a suppression.

The Ritual Division is relatively free, and there are seven or eight people in the Gishizhong, and there are all Gishizhong in the higher-ups, so when he got to the Like, he had to start from the beginning.

However, until that time, his life trajectory was still very normal, it could be regarded as taking one step at a time, walking steadily.

At that time, when he first entered the officialdom, although he dared to speak out, he offended many people.

Sometimes, sitting on the bench is also a kind of protection, so his mentality is also very peaceful.

After all, he is still young and has a lot of time in the future.

But many times, fate is so magical.

The battle of civil engineering, the battle of Oara, and the Northern Hunting of the Supreme Emperor, one after another major events came one after another, making the whole court turbulent.

Li Shi, who had been sitting on the bench in Li Ke for nearly five years, was suddenly pulled out.

Even, he didn't know why he was selected.

Then, because he was going to be a deputy envoy to Wala, he was promoted from an ordinary ceremony to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

It should be said that this is already a remarkable leap forward.

From an ordinary official of science and Taoism, he has jumped into the ranks of third-rank officials, if it is not because of the dangers of going to Wala and the need for a matching rank, such a promotion will inevitably be impeached.

However, what he didn't expect was that his opportunities were far more than that.

He is different from Zhu Jian. Zhu Jian is a downgraded matching mission, but he is an upgraded matching mission.

Therefore, logically speaking, even if the Supreme Emperor is welcomed back, the reward he can get is far less than that of Zhu Jian. After all, it is already a great favor to be promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites from a ceremony. Rewarded.

Even if not Zhu Jian, Luo Qi's qualifications are much deeper than him.

Among the three of them, only Luo Qi was neither promoted nor demoted, and just matched the position of deputy envoy.

Therefore, under the circumstances that the credits of the two deputy envoys were similar, Li Shi originally thought that after Zhu Jian, the biggest benefit would fall on Luo Qi.

As for himself, the same sentence, a servant of the Ministry of Rites, has already made him very satisfied.

You know, he is only 38 years old this year, even if he has been in the position of third-rank servant for ten years, he is only 48 years old, and he is still in his prime.

However, no one thought that it would be him who joined the cabinet.

During these days, the people in the ruling and opposition parties discussed the most, besides complaining about Zhu Jian's grievances, they also felt that he had hit a big luck and his virtue was unworthy.

After all, in terms of seniority, relationship, and even merit and ability, there are not many people in the court who are more qualified than him to join the cabinet.

Therefore, contrary to Zhu Jian's sharpness, what Li Shi has to do now is to keep a low profile as much as possible and restrain his original upright temper.

For him, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui are the best solution. As for the power in the cabinet, at least for Li Shi at this stage, it is not important.

It is impossible for the imperial court to have a chief assistant under the age of 40.

Therefore, he only needs to do his own thing well, and when his seniority is up, his official career will naturally come naturally.

Therefore, Li Shi was not dissatisfied with Zhu Jian's refutation, but thanked him for taking himself out of this matter.

Anyway, he has expressed his opinion, but whether it will be successful or not will not be decided by him, a newly promoted cabinet minister who ranks at the bottom.

Of course, it's best not to.

In this way, no matter what happens in this matter, it has nothing to do with him.

His attitude was already expected by the members of the cabinet, so no one was surprised, but it was a little unexpected that Zhu Jian expressed his opinion so early this time.

You must know that although Zhu Jian entered the cabinet late, he has profound qualifications and various credits, so once he entered the cabinet, everyone tacitly believed that he should be second only to the first and second assistants in the cabinet.

This can actually be seen in the addition of titles.

Before Zhu Jian and Li Shi entered the cabinet, the emperor conferred the title of Liu Fu of the East Palace, the six ministries and seven ministers received the crown prince's third teacher, and the cabinet ministers received the crown prince's third young master.

Among them, Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue were granted the titles of the Prince's Young Masters, while Jiang Yuan and Zhang Min were given the titles of the Prince's Young Masters.

Although the prince's three young masters are of the same rank, it is usually tacitly agreed by the court that the prince's young teacher has a higher gold content than the prince's young master.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when Zhu Jian entered the cabinet, his title was Prince Shaoshi.

Moreover, perhaps in order to calm the disputes between the government and the opposition, when the emperor added the title of minister, he also gave a relatively high title of minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

In this way, Zhu Jian and Yu Shiyue, the secondary assistants, basically have the same official positions, except that one is a scholar of Jinshen Palace and the other is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Under such circumstances, it is easy for the two to match each other.

Originally, the other cabinet ministers still wanted to express their opinions, but when Zhu Jian opened his mouth, they tacitly stopped talking, and prepared to watch the show in their spare time.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Shi bowed his head, Yu Cifu's voice sounded, and said lightly.

"Although Meng Jun came from a noble family, he is greedy for money and lustful, and he is useless. The year before last, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies took the military general examination. This man's riding and archery skills were rated as inferior, and his strategy documents were only mediocre."

"As early as one month ago, someone had recommended this person. At that time, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies issued a memorial to explain it. However, at that time, Zhu Ge was still in the Xuan Mansion, and he was not clear about all the affairs in the court. "

"It's just that what I want to say is that the chief of the cabinet is in charge of the drafting, and the affairs are complicated and involve all aspects. This is different from the localities or departments. Zhu Ge is old and new to the cabinet, so I can be considerate, but since he is in the cabinet, he naturally needs to use more. Heart, otherwise it will be delayed, but the government affairs of the imperial court."

These words were soft but hard, which seemed to be a warning, but actually implied a sense of ridicule.

These days, Zhu Jian has repeatedly quarreled with Yu Shiyue in various government affairs. Even a clay figurine has a three-pointed temper, not to mention that he is a dignified assistant.

Don't forget, before Yu Cifu entered the cabinet, he was doing the work of Dali Siqing, and he was the only one who made things difficult for others. He had never been bullied in the face like this.

There were many rumors in Beijing, saying that Zhu Jian should take the position of the second assistant.

But don't forget, Zhu Jian is not the second assistant!
Zhu Jian is so sharp, but Yu Shiyue is afraid that he will fail?

Therefore, as soon as they opened their mouths, the two of them were fighting with each other.

After being ridiculed by Yu Shiyue like this, Zhu Jian's face was a little bit uncomfortable, but he also knew that Meng Jun was indeed lacking in ability, so he could only hum softly and said.

"Now it's a cabinet discussion, so it's natural for everyone to express their own opinions. What's wrong is to say what's wrong. Since Cifu feels that Meng Jun is inappropriate, I don't know what advice Cifu has?"

Yu Shiyue narrowed her eyes, her face remained unchanged, but she couldn't help but sneered in her heart.

He had been waiting for Zhu Jian's words for a long time.

Due to the reasons of the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor, it is inconvenient for the emperor to directly appoint a candidate for the commander of the Nangong guards, so he ordered the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to preside over it, and the officials recommended it.

These days, the DPRK and China have been disturbed, and at least a dozen people have been recommended from various channels.

Of course, Yu Shiyue knew the situation of each candidate well.

Take the six final candidates this time as an example, three of them were recommended by courtiers, and three were recommended by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

One of the former is Meng Jun mentioned by Zhu Jian, and the recommender is Ningyuan Hou Renli.

A lot of things happened during the period between the middle of Beijing and the Marquis Ren, who was heavily relied on by the Supreme Emperor in the Xuan Mansion, so there was no need to think too much about his position.

As for the remaining Wu Liang and Yu Guang, the former had an old friendship with Wang Zhen, while the latter had an in-law relationship with the Xue family of Marquis of Yangwu, so they knew who they were pushed out from.

As for the three people recommended by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

It should be noted that this matter was nominally co-chaired by the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Commander's Office, but Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of War was not in Beijing, and the servant Yu Shan seemed to be muddling along, so the matter naturally fell into the hands of the Fifth Army Commander's Office.

On the military mansion's side, the person in charge of this matter is Jing'anbo Fan Guang who was single-handedly promoted by the emperor.

Therefore, the person who is pushed out is naturally the emperor's cronies.

Although Li Xi is not a direct descendant, he is actually the grandson of Feng Guogong and his old man. As for Hang Yu, he is simply the father of Concubine Hang in the palace.

The only one, Sun Yong, was promoted from the Beijing camp. He was originally a frontier general and inherited his father's position as a hundred households. Gave time to Bauhinia Pass.

The imperial court discussed meritorious service and transferred him to Datong as a general. Later, he followed Dingxiang Hou Guo Deng and participated in the Battle of Shawo, beheading dozens of levels. Therefore, he was recommended by Guo Deng and transferred to Beijing as a commander. To lead the battalion.

It can be said that this Sun Yong has really bathed in the grace of the current emperor, and has come from a low position to the present step by step.

His biggest advantage is that he has a clean background and a clean background.

It also took the opportunity of the Battle of Oara, it only took him more than a year to go from a mere hundred households to the current command, and he has nothing to do with the nobles in Beijing.

The only two people who have had a relationship are Cao Tai, the inspector, and Guo Deng, the Marquis of Dingxiang.

Of these two people, the former had already died in Daomaguan, while the latter was thousands of miles away in Datong City, and had no contact with Beijing, so this Sun Yong was really clean.

Fan Guang let him out, on the one hand, because this person was indeed brave, and on the other hand, naturally, it was also because Sun Yong had served under him since he entered the capital. Although he had not been there for a long time, he was considered his direct descendant.

Li Xi and Hang Yu's brand marks are too obvious, so in fact, the person Fan Guang really wants to push is this Sun Yong.

Come to think of it, this is what the Son of Heaven meant.

Glancing secretly, I don't know when he has entered the room, and the eunuch Cheng Jing, who was listening in the back row, was in charge of the eunuch Cheng Jing, and a smile appeared on the corner of Yu Ge's mouth.

Today he is going to teach Mr. Zhu, a newcomer in the cabinet, how to do things in the cabinet!

"Everyone knows that the emperor's guard is very important. The Habayashi guard has just been established, and there are many people in it. There are not only elite soldiers assigned by the 26 guards and Jinyiwei, but also elite soldiers from the Beijing camp."

"Such a team of Jingwei must be brave and have meritorious service before they can be promoted. You must not stick to the old rules and select from the Jingwei system."

"So, the old man thinks that among the six candidates now, only the commander Sun Yong, who has repeatedly made military exploits in the Battle of Oara and the Battle of Shawo, is naturally the most suitable."

Saying that, Yu Ge glanced at Zhu Jian who was frowning tightly, and said calmly.

"As for the other Meng Jun, Wu Liang, Yu Guang and others, they grew up in the middle of the capital. Although they have practiced, they have never actually been on the battlefield and have seen blood. How can they take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the Nangong Palace?"

These reasons can be regarded as strong, so after Yu Shiyue finished speaking, the other cabinet ministers also began to discuss in whispers.

Only Zhu Jian had a rather unsightly expression.

Not because of anything else, but precisely because he knows this Sun Yong!
It should be said that Yu Shiyue was right. Zhu Jian's time in the cabinet was too short, so he didn't have time to figure out many things.

For example, the identity of Sun Yong.

He used to only know that he was a general in the Beijing camp, but when Yu Shiyue mentioned the battle of Shawo just now, he suddenly remembered.

This person is none other than Sun Dayong, the general who followed Guo Deng in the battle!
At the beginning, when he was admiral of military affairs in Datong, he had come into contact with this person. This person was indeed brave, but at the same time, he had another characteristic.

That is the extreme admiration for the emperor. By chance, Zhu Jian once saw Sun Yong pay homage to a person secretly, and heard a few words. He still remembers the content of these words...

"Lord Cao, I'm going to Beijing to serve the emperor."

"A few days ago, Wala came to disturb the side again. I followed Guo Zongbing and gave them a hard lesson. The grand master also cut off an arm by Guo Zongbing. I will avenge you."

"The last time I went home, I told my mother about you, and my mother said, you are a hero, so everything you said is right."

"I will keep in mind what you said to me. Daming needs a good emperor. The current emperor is a good emperor with the common people in his heart. If you can't see him revitalizing Daming, I will go and see for you."

"This time I have entered Beijing, and I will tell the emperor all these words. Don't worry, from now on, I will serve the emperor well. I will never blink again."

"Lord Cao, I miss you..."

With a long sigh in his heart, Zhu Jian's emotions were a little complicated.

But after a while, he still had to shake off the emotion and asked back with a frown.

"Cifu's words are wrong. Although the Nangong guards are heavy, they are the palace officials after all. The guards should be familiar with the court system and come from a pure and good family. Although Sun Yong is brave and has a lot of military exploits, but the imperial city Among them, is it possible that you still need to fight like a battlefield?"

"So, the old man thinks that Meng Jun, who has served in the Jingwei for generations, is more suitable. Although this man is not brave enough, he has worked in the Jingwei for a long time, and has a lot of prestige and connections. He can take on the responsibility of guarding Nangong."

Now that he opened his mouth, Yu Shiyue was naturally prepared.

Hearing Zhu Jian's words, a mocking smile floated on the corner of his mouth, and said unceremoniously.

"Old Zhu Ge, you were also an admiral of military affairs at the border, don't you want to be able to say such a thing?"

"The commander of the Jingwei is a military general. When selecting a general, he does not look at his military exploits, but his family connections, heh..."
