Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 162 Six Parts and Nine Ministers
After a brief chat with the courtiers, Zhu Xiongying seemed to be a qualified prince, and he was also very concerned about the courtiers' opinions on some things.And those courtiers also know that the current emperor's grandson is not a refined and benevolent monarch, but the emperor's grandson is quite pragmatic and utilitarian, just like today's emperor.

Whether such an evaluation is good or bad is hard to say, and you need to make some judgments based on your own standpoint.

Holding a list, Zhu Xiongying wobbled towards the Qianqing Palace. He needed to discuss something with Lao Zhu.The main issue is Zhu Xiongying's team, and the main consideration is a smooth transition and Zhu Xiongying's future.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying approaching, Old Zhu asked with a smile, "I heard you lost your temper again in the court?"

"It's all those rotten scholars, and their grandchildren don't like it." Zhu Xiongying sat down carelessly, and said to Lao Zhu, "Grandpa, grandson thinks it's better to move it for some people. It's time to rise."

Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, half joking and half serious, "Do you want to usurp the throne? Take all of us down?"

If ordinary princes and grandsons heard such words, they would probably be scared to pee.But Zhu Xiongying really didn't care, mainly because he didn't have that kind of thought, and also because he knew that Lao Zhu was just joking.

Zhu Xiongying also stopped joking, and said seriously, "Grandpa Huang, it's time for my Taisun Third Teacher to get ready."

Old Zhu also became serious, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "We have already thought about this matter. The third master and the third master are enough. We have thought about it for a long time, and we still have to do this."

Lao Zhu had really thought about this matter for a long time, and at this time he no longer kept it a secret, he had really thought about it for a long time.

"The great grandson and grand master is Feng Sheng. We are not people who hold grudges." Old Zhu said to Zhu Xiongying. Taifu, Taibao."

Lao Zhu then continued, "Zhan Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is the young teacher, Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, is the young tutor, and Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, the young security guard. These are all empty titles, let's give them some dignity."

Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly, and then said, "Grandpa, are these all nobles? The civil servants are just Zhan Hui?"

Lao Zhu didn't care too much, and said with a smile, "The subordinate officials of our Ming Dynasty's Eastern Palace are just false titles of part-time officials, additional officials, and gifted officials. We think about the future of the Eastern Palace subordinates, so we don't want to be promoted too high. Daming doesn’t need it! The officials of the East Palace we gave are also the former ministers of Yixun, and you will change to the six ministers in the future.”

It seems that the position of the official of the Eastern Palace will not be so important and unique in the Ming Dynasty, and it is very replaceable.

Zhu Xiongying immediately understood that what Lao Zhu meant was that the crown prince of Ming Dynasty was in a stable position and there was no need to leave a group of ministers for the East Palace.That is to say, because of the tradition of the Eastern Palace official system in the past dynasties, some officials of the Eastern Palace will be given, which is also a reward and honor to the courtiers.

Now that what Lao Zhu said was so clear, Zhu Xiongying didn't care about it. The officials of the Eastern Palace in Daming are just a false title, and there is no need to think that some officials here are so important.Because the position of the Eastern Palace is very stable in Daming itself.

This can also be regarded as a signal, after Lao Zhu's visit, plus Xiao Zhu's visit in the future.When the rules of inheritance from the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty have been established, everyone knows not to think about becoming a minister of the hidden mansion.

The grandparents and grandchildren still have a tacit understanding, and the matter of the officials of the Eastern Palace is also some obvious signals, which will make many discerning people see some signals.If you want to be in court, you naturally need to be smarter.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying, and continued, "You have always liked the Ministry of Industry in Liubu. Now, in our opinion, Ru Xun's qualifications are enough, why don't we give him a minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

"Grandpa, you can't give Ru Yu to the Minister of Industry." Zhu Xiongying immediately said, "This companion of my grandson is a great talent, and my grandson is going to let him go to the Ministry of Officials. Minister of the Ministry of Industry, my grandson thinks that Yan Zhen is straight. That's good, this man's grandson can use it easily."

Lao Zhu nodded. Normally, among the six departments, the Ministry of Industry has the lowest position, and the Ministry of Officials has the highest position.But now, Zhu Xiongying's two confidantes are about to take office, and their status is evident.

Old Zhu continued, "That's how it is. Now that Zhan Hui has done a good job in the Ministry of Officials, let Ru Yu go to serve as the servant first. The Ministry of Rites should use Ren Hengtai first. Do you have anyone you want to promote in the Ministry of Households?"

"Zhuo Jing." Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth immediately, and said without hesitation, "This man is also quite talented. Before that, Jin Yiwei's affairs also got a little limelight, and he moved to the household department to serve as the servant."

Old Zhu was quite satisfied with this arrangement, and immediately continued, "It's not right, Zhuo Jing will serve as Minister of War for you in the future. This person not only knows how to read and write articles, but also has a good vision. We have too many nobles, Someone has to control it. First go to the Ministry of War to serve as a servant, and you will be promoted after you ascend the throne. For the Ministry of Households, give it to Yu Xin."

Zhu Xiongying also knew Yu Xin, who was a Jinshi in Hongwu's 21st year.Majestic in appearance, dignified and neat, the most important thing is that his official career was smooth and he was promoted one after another by Lao Zhu.When Lao Zhu asked a question, Yu Xin answered all the data on the national household registration and taxation, as well as the geographical dangers and difficulties. This is based on the data.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying nod his head, Old Zhu continued, "Yang Jing will continue to take the position of the Ministry of Punishments. This person has a fair and impartial sentencing, and he is not lacking in his thoughts. It is good to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but he can clearly check the authenticity of the sentence." .We use heavy punishment, this person doesn’t like to use the criminal law to be strict and strict, you can get the name of leniency if you use it well.”

The young and vigorous Yang Jing used it well, and Zhu Xiongying might not need to worry about the Ministry of Punishment for the next 30 to 60 years.In fact, here, Zhan Hui is a veteran over [-] years old, and everyone else is around [-] years old.

Remembering something, Lao Zhu jokingly said, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, why not give it to Huang Zicheng? This person is also from the East Palace, and he is better than that Ren Hengtai. I guess you can use it easily."

"He's still going to serve me as the Guozijian Memorial Bar." Zhu Xiongying said angrily, "If that person reaches Liubu, he will definitely force his grandson to cut down the feudal clan. I don't like these people."

Old Zhu also laughed, and said, "Men Kexin, old man, you can use it first, and get a good reputation."

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying, and continued to ask, "Where is Dali Siqing?"

Zhu Xiongying immediately opened his mouth. He had also considered these things, "Using my cheap father-in-law, Lian Zining is also suitable. There is also Bao Zhao, the Secretary of Dali Temple and the current Chief Secretary of Beiping. Not to mention honesty and frugality, he is also upright. "

Lao Zhu nodded, and then said, "Taichang Temple, we think Chen Di is also suitable. He is suave and ambitious, and his father and grandfather also followed us to fight in the world."

"For Guanglu Temple, grandson..."

Lao Zhu waved his hand and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Don't tell us about Guanglu Temple, and we don't want to know about Taipu Temple, Honglu Temple, and Hanlin Academy. You can tell us about the Supervisory Academy and the General Administration Department." Good. If there is no one, we will arrange some for you."

The grandfather and grandson have confirmed the six parts. Jiuqing doesn't need to worry too much, and basically has an answer.Both grandparents and grandchildren knew about these important court officials.Now some people can use it directly, and some can be succeeded steadily.

In fact, both Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu understand that now is just the most idealized state.The positions of these officials may change at any time, perhaps because they feel that those people are inappropriate, or they have lost their sacred heart, or other ministers may suddenly emerge.

Xu Miaoqing was not surprised at all that the grandson of the emperor did not return to the East Palace.There is no need to think about it, the grandson of the emperor must be staying in the Qianqing Palace.No one can tell whether he is trying to please the emperor's grandfather, or discussing important affairs of the court.

Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu also had a good understanding, and the two chatted late.Then it's almost enough to take a short nap, and you still need to go to court, so you can't stay in bed.It's impossible for Lao Zhu to be 'restoring' all the time, he wants to take charge of the overall situation.

When Lao Zhu appeared in the court hall, the voices of many civil and military officials were much quieter, and each of them lowered their eyebrows and became more sympathetic.In front of Zhu Xiongying, these people dared to 'bargain', but in front of Lao Zhu, they just obeyed.

Especially for some major court affairs, once Lao Zhu made a decision, these civil and military nobles really didn't dare to say anything more.

Once Lao Zhu mentions such things as moving the capital, even if many civil and military nobles are muttering in their hearts, they are just muttering in their hearts.In the final analysis, it is the majesty of the founding emperor, which most people dare not touch, especially a domineering emperor like Lao Zhu.

In fact, some problems can be seen from this. For example, although Zhu Xiongying has a special status, his majesty and status in front of the courtiers cannot be compared with Lao Zhu at all.Even the former Da Zhu could easily suppress the courtiers, and he had a good control over the court.

Zhu Xiongying still needs to continue to grow and continue to control the court, and Zhu Xiongying still needs to continue to improve his prestige.

Zhu Xiongying immediately went to the Wenhua Palace after he came down to court, and just when he was about to take a nap, Shuangquan came over.This is the imperial decree to let Zhu Xiongying go back to the East Palace to rest, Lao Zhu still loves his grandson very much.

Zhu Xiongying didn't force himself, he thought he had good physical fitness, and he didn't lack exercise all these years.But Zhu Xiongying is more aware that people's physical fitness is different, and he doesn't want to be tired.There are too many lessons learned from the past. The body is the capital of the revolution, and it must not be lost.

After returning to the East Palace for a good rest, Zhu Xiongying also felt that he needed to prepare to summon some of his subordinates.It can't be said to be a subordinate official, it can only be said to be a member of the Eastern Palace team, a minister of the humerus that he is likely to reuse in the future.

It's time to think about succession, and it's time to think about a smooth transition.

It's not a bad thing to prepare earlier, to avoid being caught off guard, it's also to better control the court, and there must be no accidents, because Zhu Xiongying still has a lot of plans.
