Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 659
Facing an emperor who is determined to understand and pretends to be confused, many people don't have much to do now.

They knew that the powers and functions that Emperor Yingshi was going to entrust to the Imperial Scholars were completely different from those given by Emperor Hongwu.But the current Emperor Yingshi obviously does not intend to discuss this matter with his courtiers any more.

Enough has been argued about in court, so there is no need to continue the argument now.What the Emperor Yingshi has to do now is to directly plan to get on the train first and then make up the fare, or even not plan to make up the fare.

Bachelor of Huagai Temple, Bachelor of Jinshen Temple, Bachelor of Wuying Temple, and Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhu Yunying made some changes to the Diange Grand Scholars in Lao Zhu's period, replacing the Dongge Grand Scholars with Jinshen Dian Grand Scholars.

The scholar of Wenhuadian University is still in charge of teaching the prince, and the scholar of Dongge University is Zuozhi.

This is the four halls and two pavilions, but the bachelors of the Wenhua Palace and the Dongge University will not enter the Meridian Gate to visit the Wenyuan Pavilion and participate in maintenance.This is the inner one. Their position is to be in charge of following the rules and regulations, checking the questions, and reviewing the tickets.

Among them, the Bachelors of the Four Halls and Two Pavilions, headed by the Grand Scholars of the Huagai Temple, do not need to be promoted step by step.Because the bachelors of the four halls and two pavilions are all of the fifth rank, and theoretically they are equal.

Moreover, among the four great scholars who assisted the emperor, the great scholar of Wuyingdian should be a nobleman who was born in the governor's mansion of the five armies.It seems that the civil official group has an absolute advantage in the cabinet, but it is more difficult to form a group, and the emperor still has to mix sand.

Zhu Yunying doesn't like party disputes, but he doesn't naively think that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all in harmony, or that they are all incomparably united.Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are countless battles above the court.

Zhu Yunying is very aware of this, not to mention that as an emperor, he would not like all civil and military officials to vent their anger from one nostril, and occasionally they still need checks and balances, and some opposition is still needed.

In the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yunying summoned Ruyu.Don't look at Ru Yu who seems to be against Zhu Yunying these days, but Zhu Yunying is not really angry, he knows that Ru Yu's doing what she does is also the job of a minister of the official department, and Ru Yu is not a puppet, and she will not blindly flatter her.

Since this is the case, there is no need for Zhu Yunying to be really angry. Ru Yu still hasn't touched Zhu Yunying's bottom line, and Zhu Yunying can naturally be more magnanimous about some things, and there is nothing wrong with that.

As a confidant, Ru Yu is naturally Zhu Yunying's confidant.But Zhu Yunying also didn't want her confidant to be an uninformed answerer, that would actually not be of much benefit to Zhu Yunying.

Seeing Ru Yu, Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "Big Companion, give me a seat for reading."

Ru Yu was not flattered, mainly because she was used to it, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

Zhu Yunying smiled, and said to Ru Yu, "Big Companion, don't try to persuade us anymore, we have made up our minds. If we continue talking, it will also hurt the feelings of our monarch and ministers, so the gain outweighs the loss."

Ru Yu felt bitter, he still wanted to persuade His Majesty again, not only because of his job as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but also because of his loyalty to the emperor.It's a pity that His Majesty doesn't seem to appreciate it at all.

Although the emperor said so, Ru Yu still tried to make one last effort, "Your Majesty, I think that there is nothing wrong with this move. It's just that His Majesty the Supreme Emperor had the ancestral system in the early years. If His Majesty insists on going his own way, there will be Injure His Majesty's reputation."

Ru Xun can be very straightforward, and these are actually one of the reasons why Ru Xun has been fighting hard during this time.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Ru Yu naturally had no reason to oppose the system of imperial scholars.As a traditional civil official, Ru Yu naturally hoped that the emperor's power would be limited, and that the civil official group would have greater power.

It was obviously just a matter of His Majesty's will, and everything was solved without any hidden dangers.From Ru Yu's point of view, it is impossible for His Majesty not to understand such a truth, but His Majesty seems to be pretending to be confused.

Zhu Yunying was indeed pretending to be confused by pretending to understand, and Zhu Yunying could guess what Ruzhen was thinking, but he chose to ignore it, it was as simple as that.

What Ru Yu thought was actually reasonable, since the Emperor Yingshi was determined to do something, he could discuss it with the Supreme Emperor.After all, now that the Supreme Emperor is still there, the Emperor Yingshi does not need to carry a reputation that violates the ancestral system at all, it is not worth the loss.

Not to mention Emperor Hongwu's love for Emperor Yingshi, just the melody between Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi over the years is enough to explain some major events. These two supreme beings know each other, and there is nothing to hide.

Looking at Ru Yu, Zhu Yunying asked with a smile, "Reader, tell me for yourself, why do you think that above the court, all the lovers insist on letting us report the cabinet affairs to the emperor?"

Ru Xun didn't speak. This topic is very sensitive. Even if everyone's motives are slightly different, many people know it well.Not only the emperor of the Ming Dynasty pretended to be confused, but many ministers also pretended to be confused.

Seeing that Ru Yu didn't speak, Zhu Yunying asked with a smile, "Reader, why did you raise the rank of the six ministers to the first rank in the past two years? Could it be that we really want to be above the court?" Tend to balance, want to restrain Wu Xun?"

Ru Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help being a little surprised, even a little nervous.Because the one in front of him is a scheming emperor, this one has always been very assertive, and the city is quite deep.

Especially the current emperor seems to be smiling, but if Ru Xun thinks that His Majesty has no temper, that would be a strange thing.

After all, the person in front of me always had a smile on his face, but he was extremely determined in his heart. One moment ago, this person could act like a courteous and virtuous corporal, but the next moment, the emperor could issue an order to lock up 'Aiqing' imprison.

In the past two years, His Majesty raised the rank of the six ministers to the first rank. This naturally made many people feel happy, and they were also speculating on His Majesty's thoughts, which are actually similar.

Generally speaking, everyone thinks that the rank and power of the civil servants above the court are generally weak. Your Majesty does not want to see the power imbalance between civil servants and martial arts, so he intentionally supports the strength of the civil servants.

After all, generally speaking, the martial arts forces at the beginning of the founding of the country generally crushed the civil service group, which is nothing to say.

Furthermore, after all these years, it can be said that the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty has always been hit hard and bad news continues.

The prime minister system was abolished, which can also be said that the civil servants lost their actual leaders all of a sudden.The prime minister system was completely abolished, and the civil official group lost the opportunity to wrestle with Wu Xun completely.

Furthermore, in the past few years, Yan Shenggong, who was originally the head of the civil servants in name, was completely lost in face by the newly enthroned Emperor Yingshi, and he was beaten back to his original shape. , The confidence to speak is also weak.

His Majesty is suppressing the power of the Wu Xun Group. This is something that many people can see. After all, the strength of Wu Xun in the Ming Dynasty is indeed too strong.

However, while the Wuxun Group was being suppressed, the Civilian Group was actually having a hard time, not to mention that both Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi actually lacked some trust in civil servants.

Yingshi Emperor is not close to Confucianism, which is actually criticized by many scholars, but they really have no other way to deal with it.After all, speaking of it, Emperor Yingshi's attitude towards scholars was much more kind than that of Emperor Hongwu.

Seeing that Ru Yu didn't speak, Zhu Yunying said without concealing it, "Companion, do you think that although the rank of the Cabinet Grand Scholars is low, but they can participate in government affairs, they must be lowly and powerful. Besides, their power will increase in a few years? "

Ru Yu nodded and did not hide her thoughts, "Your Majesty, I do have some concerns. Although the Royal Grand Scholars are only fifth-rank, they can participate in the government and have been in front of the imperial court for a long time. Be detached."

Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "I'm afraid it won't be in the future, but many people are thinking about the Grand Master of the Palace now, right?"

This made Ru Yu embarrassed, because what the emperor said was the truth, and many people could feel the great potential of the palace scholar, this official position is really too attractive.

Don't say that His Majesty intends to re-designate the duties or positions of the Grand Scholars of the Diange. More performance opportunities.

Looking at Ru Yu, Zhu Yunying continued, "We also have requirements for the six ministers. They should have the experience of being an official close to the people and being in charge of the government. This palace scholar should not just read poetry and books in the Imperial Academy and boast about it. Talking generation."

Ru Yu's complexion suddenly became awkward, because in fact, he, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, could be regarded as taking a shortcut.If he hadn't served in front of His Majesty early on, how could he have the chance to become a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials.

In fact, Ru Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, somewhat did not meet the requirements, after all, he had been working in front of Zhu Yunying.As far as the experience of the ruling party is concerned, Ru Yu actually does not have such a resume. He is a relatively traditional scholar's promotion path, and he has always been a very noble type.

What's more, Emperor Yingshi didn't hide much, and the contempt for some Confucian students inside and outside the words made Ru Yu feel like a thorn in his throat.

But even if Ru Yu was like a stick in his throat, there was no better way. He had been with Zhu Yunying for nearly 20 years, so he naturally knew the character of Emperor Yingshi, and such words did not come once or twice.

Ru Yuan suddenly felt a little dazed, a little shocked.It seems that His Majesty may have been planning for the cabinet bachelor's matter early on. This is not a matter of a day or two.

The six ministers must have the resumes of being close to the people and governing the local area, and the cabinet bachelor should also have such a resume. It may be said that His Majesty has been preparing these for a long time.

It can even be said that the promotion journey of the cabinet masters and six ministers in the future was also clarified by Emperor Yingshi.

If there is no accident, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty may be released as officials after being named on the gold list.Each of the seventh-rank magistrates, etc., may have the opportunity to be transferred back to the capital and join the cabinet if they have outstanding achievements and outstanding talents.

If you perform well after entering the cabinet, you will need to be placed under the lower place again, and then you will be in charge of the party.Only those who have the opportunity and the ability can be transferred back to the capital to serve as a minister in the sixth department, and then plan to be a minister.

Such a promotion mechanism seems to have been clarified by Emperor Yingshi, as long as Emperor Yingshi further strengthens it in the future.Then the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty in the future will follow such a method to be promoted.

The rules established by Emperor Hongwu are the ancestral system, and ordinary emperors can only be obedient and obedient, and must not do more things that violate the ancestral system, or else their reputation will be damaged and they will bear a reputation of being disrespectful.

Looking at the thoughtful Ruyu, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "You, don't think too much, it's better to do things in a down-to-earth manner. Above the court is to discuss the matter of the cabinet bachelor, and to read it carefully Measure it, don't get involved too much."

Ru Yu, who seemed to want to say more, was also choked up, and really didn't know what to do.

This can be regarded as the dignity given to him by His Majesty, and it is actually regarded as a warning from Emperor Yingshi to him.

If Ru Yu continues to be ignorant and entangled in this matter, maybe Zhu Yunying will be really angry at that time, and Ru Yu, the number one confidant, will have to weigh it carefully.

It's just that, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, if he doesn't care about some things, or is like a respondent, it will be difficult for him to convince the public.What's more, as a confidant of Emperor Yingshi, it is not the way to be a minister if you know that Emperor Yingshi's actions are inappropriate but do not persuade him.

Even if Ruyu wanted to say something more at this time, he could only be waved away by the perfunctory Emperor Yingshi at this time, and Ruyu could only obediently resign. Could there be other ways for him?
Seeing Ru Yu leave, Zhu Yunying couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, there was no need to say anything more, that's about it.

To be honest, Zhu Yunying was not angry about what Ruyu had done during this period, but he didn't want Ruyu to continue pestering her, and he didn't bother to continue pestering her any longer.

It's better to be more straightforward, just warn Ru Xun directly, I believe that Ru Xun, a smart person, should know what kind of choice he should make.

Zhu Yunying shook her head with a smile, and said, "Let Zheng He come over."

The Sanbao eunuch also needs to take on more responsibilities, and Zhu Yunying still has expectations for this eunuch with a long history.For this eunuch, Zhu Yunying also hopes that he can create more great achievements.

Zhu Yunying will give the opportunity, it depends on whether Ruyu can grasp it!
