Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 596 The spineless Otsuka slaughter

Yu Qian glanced at Yu Shiyue with a complicated expression.

In fact, from the perspective of pros and cons, Yu Shiyue shouldn't have spoken at this time.

You know, after this period of time, his second assistant is already enough to show off, so now it is time to keep a low profile.

Regarding the transfer of the censor, just now Wang Ao, the chief assistant, had clearly expressed his opposition.

At this time, Yu Shiyue stood up and quarreled with him, and if it was spread out, people would definitely discuss it, saying that he was proud of being favored.

However, Yu Shiyue still stood up.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian silently gave Yu Shiyue an apologetic look, and secretly remembered this friendship in his heart.

However, what he didn't expect was that when Yu Shiyue saw his expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly at him in turn, and then looked at him calmly but seriously, making Yu Qian slightly taken aback.

He is very familiar with this look.

Almost instantly, Yu Qian remembered the in-depth conversation between the two when he just returned to Beijing.

At that time, he had such an expression, and said to Yu Shiyue seriously.

…Hold a righteous body, set up a righteous speech, do a righteous thing, walk a righteous path…

This old friend is telling himself.

He made this statement at this time, not out of personal feelings, but out of public interest!
So, Yu Qian felt relieved, glanced at Chen Yi beside him, and the two exchanged glances, then looked at Wang Wen and the three of them and said.

"As long as officials can be drawn out, the Ministry of War will naturally make proper arrangements."

"Before sending the censor to the border, the old man will personally interview everyone one by one and explain the matters. If he is unqualified or lacks the ability, the old man will send the person back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to rectify the army. After all, the Ministry of War takes the lead. , So, on this point, please rest assured."

At the same time, Chen Yi also spoke solemnly.

"Yes, the current problem is the shortage of manpower in the imperial court. As long as the Ministry of Officials can solve the manpower problem, inexperience is not a problem. The new censors will be strictly assessed by the old man, and the best ones will be selected to be sent to assist the Ministry of War."

"Those who are not stable or capable will be allowed to stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to preside over daily affairs, and replaced by experienced officials from the Ministry of Defense to assist the Ministry of War."

"In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there are old men who personally sit in charge. Even if these people are a little inexperienced, there will be no trouble."

Wang Wen's face turned dark.

These two people... really cooperate with each other tacitly.

What Yu Qian said meant nothing more than the same thing. The Ministry of War took the lead in rectifying the military settlements, so the Ministry of War must be the most concerned about this matter, and would not let such a big matter be messed up because the elected officials were inexperienced.

Chen Yi went a step further and gave a specific plan.

As long as your official department is willing to give someone, he would rather send out all the officials who are currently in use, and bring a group of inexperienced recruits to take charge of the daily affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Between the singing and the harmony, Wang Wen's reasons were completely blocked.

So, after thinking for a moment, Wang Wen asked.

"Yu Shaobao, I don't know how long the Ministry of War intends to spend on rectifying the military settlements this time?"

Yu Qian was stunned, but he didn't hesitate too much, and said.

"This matter is very involved and complicated, but it cannot be delayed. Therefore, the preliminary plan of the Ministry of War will be basically completed before the end of the year."

One year, whether it is long or short, it should be said that it is considered fast when it comes to such a major event as rectifying the army.

After Wang Wen finished listening, he nodded slightly and said.

"The old man has a question to ask Yu Shaobao. The [-] officials of science and roads, together with the original censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, far exceed the number of people approved by the imperial court. These officials are certainly of great use in the matter of military settlements. , but after a year, what about the end of the military settlement?”

"Could it be that within a short period of one year, the Ministry of Officials will once again adjust officials on a large scale, which is unreasonable!"

"If it is left alone, there will be redundant officials and redundant staff, which will be harmful to the court."

"Military settlements are certainly important, but the administration of officials is also a major national event, so we must take it into consideration!"

After saying these words, the atmosphere was a little bit wrong.

The implication is that the army station of your military department is important, but the government of the official department is equally important. You can't implicate our official department to take responsibility for your military department.

Seeing Yu Qian's brows furrowed tightly, the elders suddenly felt a burst of anticipation in their hearts. Finally, are they going to see two tough tempers collide?
However, this kind of scene is destined to be invisible to the elders.

Because, the emperor spoke.

"Military settlements are the most important government affairs for next year, and all other yamen must take this as their priority!"

Looking at the ministers who were arguing endlessly below, the emperor's face was calm, but what he said was unquestionable and without the slightest wavering.

As a result, Mrs. Wang became wilted all of a sudden.

Among the crowd, although he is not the one who has the most contacts with the emperor, he is the one who understands the emperor's temperament best.

He must do what the old man wants to do.

At the beginning, the emperor said that the mutual market and water conservancy were the most important government affairs in the first year of Jingtai.

Now, the construction of the large canal of the Ministry of Industry has been completed, the breach of the sand embankment has been completely solved, and the mutual market has been carried out smoothly for half a year, and everything is developing in a good direction.

However, don’t forget that when the canal was built, everyone except the Ministry of Industry opposed it. As for the mutual market, around this matter, there was almost a fuss about the Queue. They are still locked up in prison.

Whatever the Son of Heaven has made up his mind to, no matter how much criticism there is or how much trouble there is, it must be done.

Wang Wen never doubted this.

Now, since the emperor's attitude has clearly stated that every yamen must be dominated by military settlements, then Wang Wen can only accept it.

So, Elder Wang got up first and cupped his hands.

"I would like to obey His Majesty's will."

The other ministers also stood up and said.

"Follow His Majesty's will."

Afterwards, everyone sat down again, Wang Wen twirled his beard and meditated for a moment, said.

"Since Yu Shaobao feels that so many officials must be needed, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is unable to mobilize more manpower, then the Ministry of Officials can only find a way."

After a little thought, Wang Wen continued.

"It's hard to say what the situation will be in Chunwei next year. Even if we want to select a capable new scholar to serve as the censor, I'm afraid it shouldn't be too many. It's better to use ten names."

"The Hanlin Academy will close the hall in less than half a year. Since there is an urgent shortage of officials in Kedao, we might as well close the hall early."

"If the old man remembers correctly, there are currently [-] scholars in the Hanlin Academy. It is advisable to select three outstanding ones to be editors, and the rest will be re-selected by the Ministry of Officials, depending on their talents, how about granting them the post of science?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Yi couldn't help being speechless for a while, and after he realized it, he began to curse Wang Wen in his heart.

This spineless old man!

He barks his teeth and claws in front of others, but the emperor immediately changes his tune with a light word.

three?Where did you send the beggar?
