As we all know, each department of the Ming Dynasty often had more than one minister, one of whom was the sitting minister, who was a practical post in the management department, and the other ministers were all false titles.

For example, the official titles of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites are added to the bachelor of the university, the official titles of the processing department in charge of engineering construction are added, and the official titles of the Ministry of War are added to the governor.Generally, the governor is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but the senior governor, or the governor with a key position, will be added the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War.The most typical one is the governor of Xuanda, the head of the Nine Sides, who is often the Minister of the Ministry of War to leave the town of Xuanda.

And when there is a vacancy in the Minister of the Ministry of War, other governors at the ministerial level of the Ministry of War will often be transferred to fill the position. This is also an official habit.

Because of the particularity and professionalism of the Ministry of War, it is very common in Ming Dynasty for the governor to return to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War.

For example, in the 14th year of Jiajing, when Wang Hung, Minister of the Ministry of War, resigned from office, Zhang Zan, the governor of Xuanda, took over. Then Zhang Zan was killed by Qin Dewei, and he was replaced by Wang Tingxiang.

So after being yelled at by Xu Laosan, everyone realized that Qin Dewei, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian with the false title of Minister of War, was a natural candidate for the actual minister of the Ministry of War.

Sounds like a tongue twister, but that's exactly what it is.

Not to mention that Qin Dewei has the qualifications of Governor Xuanda, who can compare with Qin Dewei in terms of qualifications alone?
Court affairs can be divided into two types, one is affairs not directly related to Qin Dewei, and the other is affairs directly related to Qin Dewei.

The matter of recommending the Minister of the Recruitment Department (the real position in charge of the Ministry) was suddenly directly related to Qin Dewei, so this matter immediately became a big deal.

Everyone also suddenly understood what the hell Wang Tingxiang was waiting for when he refused to resign.Anyway, no one spoke, not even whispered discussions, everyone was looking at Xia Shoufu.

In fact, anyone who is familiar with personnel affairs can guess who Xia Shoufu intends to launch as the candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs.There is no one else, it must be Zhang Jing, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Speaking of Governor Zhang Jingzhang, he is one of the two "military talents" that Xia Yan began to cultivate very early on. In the original time and space, the other was Zeng Mi and Zeng's stepfather.

At the beginning, Xia Yan put Zhang Jing in the position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, just for the sake of gilding.

It's just that when Xia Yan was dismissed later, Governor Zhang temporarily lost his backing, so he had no choice but to continue to gild, and now he is still the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

So according to the normal plan, Xia Shoufu will definitely elect Zhang Jing to be Minister of the Ministry of War today.Thinking of this, everyone complained silently in their hearts, and in the current situation, they still recommend it.

Zhang Jing is just a governor of the Ministry of War. In terms of qualifications, he can't compete with Qin Dewei. He is much better than Qin Dewei as a governor, and his military exploits are far behind.

And if Qin Dewei really intends to take charge of the Ministry of War, whether Zhang Jing has the guts to directly challenge Qin Dewei head-on, I'm afraid there will be a question mark.

Most of the centrists would like to say: "Knowing the current affairs is a hero, the general trend is like this, please follow Xia Shoufu, don't make trouble anymore, it will make it difficult for everyone."

Xia Shoufu frowned and remained silent for a while, quickly recalling the list of officials in his mind.

After his return, he sorted out the list of high-level personnel, so that he knew what he knew.

After a while, Xia Shoufu finally found another candidate, and said to everyone: "The imperial court still has a Minister of War, Liu Tianhe, the governor of the three sides!"

This is also a very experienced border town governor. With his achievements in the three sides, he was also added to the Ministry of War.

Xu Zan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, reminded: "Liu Tianhe is over [-] years old, and his health is not good. He has already submitted the memorial and is about to retire from his old age. He is in the capital, waiting for his majesty's speech and rewards, and then he will return home."

Xia Shoufu grasped the life-saving straw, so he was not willing to let go easily, "As long as the memorial has not been approved, Liu Tianhe will not retire!" Theoretically, what Xia Shoufu said is correct, but in the eyes of everyone, it is a bit unreasonable up.

One of Qin Zhongtang's most famous spokespersons, Chen Chun, the head of the imperial censor, couldn't bear it and said: "Dare to ask the first assistant, how will Qin Banqiao arrange after returning to the court?"

People with insufficient IQ will not understand what Chen Chun means when they hear this sentence.But the people present are not short of IQ, they will know immediately
He asked what Chen Yushi was asking.

Now there are five ministers in the cabinet. If Qin Dewei comes back, there will be six. Isn't that a bit redundant?

The most appropriate and appropriate arrangement is to let Qin Dewei preside over the Military Aircraft Department as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and then set up a new one completely independently under the false name of a university scholar.

Probably in the eyes of the emperor, it would be advisable to let Qin Dewei go out independently and then check and balance with other cabinet ministers.

There is a big difference between whether there is a minister of the Ministry of War. Before Qin Dewei left Beijing, he was in charge of the military aircraft department as a bachelor.
This is the core of Chen Chun's question. If Qin Dewei is not allowed to join the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, how can he arrange it properly?There are not many better positions than the Ministry of War. Could it be that Qin Dewei is appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Officials and also a bachelor?
The angle of Chen Yushi's questioning was very tricky, making it difficult for Xia Shoufu to answer.

At this point, the situation was completely out of control, Xia Yan had no preparations, and relied on on-the-spot reactions to support him.

Then he showed the prestige of the chief assistant, and said decisively: "There is not only one candidate for the performance, Liu Tianhe and Qin Dewei can both be included in the selection, and the performance will be performed together, and the next candidate will be decided by the saint!"

Everyone knows that if the emperor chooses, Qin Dewei must be chosen!Everyone knew that this was actually Xia Shoufu's plan to delay.

But from a procedural point of view, there was nothing wrong with Xia Shoufu's doing so. Ting Tui must have played it to the emperor, so there was no reason for it.

That's it for the time being, this time the court's calculation is over, and Qin Dewei, who is three thousand miles away, is lying down and has become the Minister of the Ministry of War.

As the chief assistant, Xia Yan still has the ability to control issues. He decisively and quickly got rid of the issues that were already unfavorable to him, and moved on to the next one.

Then everyone heard Xia Shoufu say: "Today, the internal and external discussions are ordered. In addition to the selection of the minister of the Ministry of War, there is also a reorganization of the cabinet. It is still necessary for you to speak freely and express your opinions!"

Someone asked: "How to rectify?"

Xia Shoufu went on to say: "The cabinet and other government agencies originally performed their own duties, so there should not be too many concurrent jobs. Nowadays, there are too many part-time jobs among cabinet ministers, and this is a drawback!"

There is no problem with this statement on the surface. The cabinet ministers are in the center to assist the emperor. Except for a few rare cases, they generally do not hold other official positions in the government office, so as to avoid the disadvantage of one person colluding with the inside and outside.

In addition to the large number of cabinet ministers at present, part-time jobs are indeed more common than usual. Teacher Zhang Chao Zhang is also the Minister of Rites, not to mention the restless Qin Zhongtang, and even Zhang Bangqi at the end is also a Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi.

However, Xia Yan's words seemed fair, but everyone knew that they were actually targeting Zhang Chao.

What Xia Shoufu really cares about is not whether to work part-time or not, but the position of Minister of Rites, and Xia Shoufu is not afraid that others will find out that this is Yangmou.

After finishing talking straight to the point, Xia Shoufu turned to Zhang Chao again and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to lead by example?"

This is why Zhang Chao, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts and Minister of Etiquette, has kept a low profile recently, including today. He has already become a target, and the higher the profile, the more flaws he will have.

Seeing that Xia Shoufu finally brought the topic to himself, Zhang Chao sighed, and responded, "What Shou Kui said is very true. It is indeed easy to breed disadvantages when an internal court official holds a foreign job, so he should resign the part-time job."

Xia Shoufu was not afraid that Zhang Chao would cling to the Minister of Rites, if Zhang Chao was unwilling to adapt to the situation and resign from his part-time job, he would be criticized as greedy immediately.

Not everyone can be as determined as Wang Tingxiang, no matter what others say, he just refuses to resign.As long as the Ministry of Rites is lost, the unbreakable and solid barrier of the Qin Party will be opened.

Under the attention of everyone, Zhang Chao continued to say to Xia Shoufu: "In order to show my support for Shoufu's cabinet rectification, I intend to resign from the University of Martial Arts Hall and only become a minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

Xia Yan: "."

Some people don't talk about Wude!His mind suddenly became a little messy and he needed to organize his thoughts.

According to common sense, if a bachelor and minister of rites wants to
To dismantle it, it must be to resign the slightly lower-ranking minister of the Ministry of Rites, and only keep the higher-ranking bachelor.The rule of officialdom is that people go to high places, who wants to be an official and become smaller and smaller?
But Zhang Chao did the opposite, he didn't want to be a bachelor, he only wanted to be a minister of the Ministry of Rites, which made no one think of it.

Not everyone has the determination to become a smaller official!

But after careful taste, everyone found that Zhang Chao had taken a long way by doing so.

First, with Xia Yan and Yan Song in the cabinet, and there may be more Qin Dewei in the future, it is impossible for Zhang Chao to seize real power in the cabinet, and he will only become a vain scholar.

Second, if Zhang Chao is in the cabinet, Qin Dewei will be a little embarrassed when he comes back.

As a student, it is really not good to pass the teacher directly and rank ahead of the teacher, so Zhang Chao will block Qin Dewei's progress.

So Zhang Chao might be thinking about simply resigning from the bachelor's degree and returning to the foreign court.In this way, we can stagger with Qin Dewei, and there will be no more embarrassing situations blocking Qin Dewei's way forward.

Xia Shoufu's face sank like water, and his heart was about to explode again.What's the use of asking you Zhang Chao to be a bachelor?What he, Xia Yan, wants is the real-time Minister of Rites!

Zhang Chao faced Xia Yan, and said simply and kindly: "I heard Shou Kui often say that there are too many cabinet ministers.

Therefore, today I voluntarily resigned as a bachelor and reduced the number of cabinet ministers, which can be regarded as responding to Shou Kui's call and sharing the worries of Shou Kui! "

Teacher Zhang's failure to play cards according to the routine once again disrupted Xia Shoufu's layout. Just as Xia Yan was racking his brains and thinking about how to deal with it, Zhang Bangqi, who was the last seat in the cabinet, also stood up.

He first said to Xia Yan: "What Shou Kui said is very true!" Then he said to Zhang Chao: "What Yuxi said is also very true!"

Then facing the crowd, he said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, for the convenience of the East Palace to oversee the country, I, Zhang Bangqi, used Zhan Shi as a cabinet scholar. Now that the emperor is awake, there is no need for me to continue to be a university scholar.

Therefore, following Shou Kui's suggestion today, I resigned as a non-commissioned officer in Dongge University, left the cabinet, and returned to Zhan Shifu to work as a full-time counselor in Donggong! "

Although Zhang Chaozhuyu was in front, Zhang Bangqi's statement still surprised everyone.

However, after careful consideration, everyone guessed that Zhang Bangqi was probably discouraged by the blow, and had no interest in staying in the cabinet.

Recently, Zhang Bangqi's performance has been very depressed and sluggish, and he has no longer jumped up and down like last year.

There is unreliable gossip that Qin Zhongtang threatened to kill his whole family, and then Zhang Bangqi felt as if his egg was pinched.Moreover, Yan Song, whom Zhang Bangqi relied on, also gave up, so Zhang Bangqi is now in a state of completely losing his fighting spirit and enterprising spirit. It is understandable for him to think about withdrawing the one-acre land of Zhan Shifu.

If both Zhang Chao and Zhang Bangqi resigned as bachelors, the problem of redundant cabinet numbers would suddenly be solved in this way.So is Xia Shoufu's ambition to reorganize the cabinet realized?Should I congratulate Xia Shoufu?

Seeing that only Xia Yan, Yan Song and Zhang Bi were left in the cabinet, everyone felt a little strange anyway.Xia Shoufu was at a loss for a moment, and the scene got out of control again!

What I want are the two real jobs of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Zhan Shi, but these two people unexpectedly left the bachelor and ran away without leaving a real job for me!

Who would have thought in advance that my Ming Dynasty actually had officials who voluntarily asked to be demoted, and there were two of them as soon as they appeared!Zhang Bi, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, who was supposed to make up the number, looked confused at this moment.

As a peripheral ally of the Qin Party, he himself admits that he is a bastard in the cabinet, the most inconspicuous and often forgotten bastard.

No matter Xia Yan, Yan Song, Zhang Chao or Zhang Bangqi, they all have a much stronger sense of presence than him.

Suddenly, he might become a figure next to Xia Yan and Yan Song, which made Zhang Bi, who was completely unprepared, a little flustered.

He is very self-aware, and he will never have a good life with these two ruthless people in the cabinet!Look at Zhai Luan back then, he was turned into a laughing stock!

And the point is, Zhang Bi, Xia Yan, and Yan Song all have some old grievances.

At the beginning Zhang Bi had been a teacher for a few years, Xia Yan wanted his teacher Lu Shen to be a teacher, when he was in the East Palace

Zhang Bi was taken away, so he became grudges.

Later, Zhang Bi, as the leader of the Huguang Gang and Zhang Juzheng's fellow villager, chose between Yan Song and Qin Dewei, Qin Dewei, who seemed to be more sincere and obviously wanted to support Zhang Juzheng.

Looking at Xia Yan and then at Yan Song, Zhang Bi clearly realized that such a cabinet cannot stay forever!Except for Qin Dewei, no one can afford this game, it's better to retreat bravely!
After making up his mind, Zhang Bi said to Xia Shoufu: "Well, I'm not good enough to be in the center, and it happens that Shoukui intends to rectify the cabinet, so let me be eliminated.

Besides, I am old, I have been suffering from illness recently, and I am impatient with the climate in the north, so I want to pray to be released to the south to take care of me. Xia Yan looked gloomy and said nothing.

Zhang Bi didn't care about Xia Yan's reaction, and it was over when he finished speaking.We are all bachelors, can we still force him not to leave?

Before the court meeting, the officials of the outer dynasty never imagined that they could see such a cabinet drama.

The originally bustling cabinet was about to become empty in an instant, only Xia Shoufu and Yan Cifu were left staring at each other.

Taking advantage of the silence, Yan Song was calculating and deducing rapidly in his mind. If he also offered to resign at this time, how would the situation evolve?

Will it become the scene of Xia Yan's large-scale social death?Will Xia Yan collapse on the spot?Will the emperor get suspicious and kill Xia Yan directly?

"Cough!" Yan Song cleared his throat, thinking of saying a few words to test the situation.

Xia Yan turned his head suddenly, stared at Yan Song fiercely, his eyes seemed to be able to kill people, and four words popped out of his mouth: "The matter is only three." Yan Song was really frightened, returned to his original position with lowered eyebrows, and stood still .

Must be calm!Qin Dewei is the real serious problem. If Xia Yan is killed all at once, wouldn't Qin Dewei bear all the oppression by himself?
Now my character is set to kneel and lick Xia Yan, so I can't collapse!

If one were to find a word to describe today's court proceedings, many people could only think of one word, and that would be "feathers all over the place".Chen Chun and Chen Yushi suddenly said a cold joke, which broke the silence: "After Qin Banqiao returned to the court, there is no shortage of positions." Xia Shoufu, Yan Cifu, Qin Zhongtang, how standard the number of cabinets, how traditional cabinet combination.

In the history books, this is definitely the most harmonious, tacit, and loving cabinet combination. I am afraid that it can compete with famous cabinet combinations such as Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian.

Fisting is afraid of young people, but I don't know if Qin Zhongtang can beat two with one.Suddenly someone shouted: "Xia Shoufu is mighty!"

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw Xu Qianhu leaning on the window frame outside, looking this way.
