eldest son of Ming dynasty

The capital did not feel the intensity of the northwest thousands of miles away, and the Forbidden City was still as thick as usual. After the 27th, the emperor took off his filial piety, and Emperor Xiaozong's god amulet was placed in the ancestral temple for his descendants to worship.

The compilation of "Records of Emperor Xiaozong" has also become one of the most important government affairs at present. In addition, there will be a general examination on March [-]. This is Zhu Houzhao's first imperial examination after he ascended the throne. He himself still pays more attention to it. .

In the Ming Dynasty, compiling the Records of the Former Dynasty was a very solemn and serious task. "Ming Shilu" is also an absolute secret of the royal family and cannot be kept secret.

Generally speaking, this work requires a supervisor, and is led by a scholar of the cabinet, with the Hanlin Academy as the main body of compilation.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the emperor chose the British public Zhang Mao as the supervisor, because these things involved some royal family affairs, so the rules afterwards were honored as the supervisor. The British public Zhang Mao is still alive, so this thing is Nothing to mess with.

The president needs a bachelor, and Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Wang Jia are probably these people.The vice president is to be a minister, an imperial minister, a bachelor, etc.

However, the specific compilation work is done by the Hanlin of the Imperial Academy. For these young officials, it is not easy to add such a sum to their resumes.

This is all meaning to the courtiers. For Zhu Houzhao, he usually does not make much changes to this kind of routine work with relatively mature experience, unless there are complicated political struggles in it... If it is just some small thoughts, He doesn't care too much about arranging some of his own people. No matter how well the record is done, he can't conjure up [-] cavalry for him.

But if he has something to do with the important ministers in the court, he has to ask.

Before that, today's Qianqing Palace will first discuss the candidates for the Sichuan chief envoy.
He Jian, the original chief envoy, was transferred to Yingtian as the governor, leaving Sichuan chief envoy free.

Zhu Houzhao has paid special attention to the selection and appointment of local officials since he was the prince.He has emphasized more than once the importance of a good chief envoy.

In particular, Sichuan is still a land of abundance, and there are ethnic minorities and chieftains around.To put it bluntly, he could tolerate someone like Zhang Fuhua being the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he couldn't bear such a person being the chief envoy.

No matter how the people in the capital are, if you are close to him, even if there is a mistake or something he thinks is not good, it can be corrected with a few words.

In that place in Sichuan, what can even the emperor do?You can only trust the chief envoy.

The cabinet ministers and the heads of various ministries gave the emperor two names in the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor shook his head until Liu Jian named one, "Your Majesty, how about Fei Zichong?"

Fei Zi charge?
That is Fei Hong, who was Zuo Zanshan of Zhan Shifu.

"Where is he now?"

"Participating in politics in Huguang."

Zhu Houzhao tapped his fingers regularly, and finally nodded, "Before taking office, let him go to Beijing as usual."

Fei Hong walked out of the same political trajectory as Yang Tinghe. He first served as an official in the Zhan Shifu, and then was transferred to the local magistrate. After excellent performance, he was promoted to participate in politics.

The next step is to go to Beijing, right?
There are many such things, and everyone will understand.It seems that the emperor liked this type of officials very much.

"Ministers who perform well in the imperial court should mostly be in the local areas. Governors, chief envoys, and inspectors... This is the position that I care about most. No matter how well we people do it, if the chief envoy is a disaster in the local area, there will be no harm." meaning. Lin Shangshu, "

Lin Han came out: "My minister is here."

"In my opinion, the imperial court should conduct regular training for provincial officials. It can be divided into three years instead of a one-off nationwide. The main officials in charge of the two capitals and [-] provinces must go to Beijing for training. The Ministry of officials should also strengthen the training of these officials. performance appraisal of class officials.”

The emperor has a new idea.

But this does not affect anyone's interests, so there is no reason to obstruct it.

For Zhu Houzhao, in addition to ability training, there is also political training. He has just ascended the throne, and he will replace these local officials in a rhythmic manner.

In the current Ming Dynasty, the transmission of power depends on people, narrowly speaking, it is our own people, just like Wang Hua, Yang Ting and these people are in the local area, and Zhu Houzhao's will will be carried out much more smoothly.

Governor Yingtian like Ding Zuping would have other thoughts.

If Ding Zuping is everywhere, then whether it is a three-year plan or a five-year plan, it is written in a hype, and once it is implemented, it will be found that the chief executive will not be able to pass this level, and it is still a joke.

"...I know that the ultimate goal in the officialdom is to be an official in the capital, to be the six ministries and the cabinet, but the official system should be like a pool of flowing water, where there is entry and exit. It is not that once you reach the capital, you will not go to other places. ..."

Liu Jian and others were thinking, what does the emperor mean by saying such words suddenly?Are you continuing to express your dissatisfaction with the cabinet?

The emperor also repeatedly emphasized the issue of the resumes of local officials. If these words are combined with the official careers of the three cabinet ministers, it will be different, because all three of them were awarded Jinshi, and then went to the Imperial Academy to suffer. Lectures on officials, revision of records... It seems that he has become a cabinet minister step by step.

In the first month of this year, in order not to send out troops, the three members of the cabinet united and did not support the emperor. The emperor is still holding on to this matter, because after this incident, he found that the cabinet cannot be monolithic.

It's not that the three of them are bad, or that Zhu Houzhao can't bear them. In fact, the three of them are good officials, and they cooperate well.

But the problem is that starting this year, many of the decisions Zhu Houzhao will make must break through some traditional concepts to a certain extent.

He didn't have time to plan ahead for the dispatch of troops. When it was time to open the sea, would he let the three of them oppose him together?

He wouldn't be so stupid to fall twice in a pit.

Taking a step back, a good official does not necessarily have to be a cabinet minister to benefit the country and the people, and there are many other important positions.

So this month, he has been releasing this 'signal'.

This put more and more pressure on Liu Jian. Others felt the emperor's "meaning", but they themselves knew it better.

Both Li Dongyang and Xie Qian felt that this was because of the dispatch of troops to the northwest.

In the warm pavilion, after Zhu Houzhao said that Beijing officials can also go to the place,
Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, Min Gui, was a donkey, and he asked: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to the place to be a political envoy, and to guard one side for the Son of Heaven."

"To Min Shangshu, the position of chief minister is a waste of talent, so he has to be a governor. When the time is right, if there is a gap, I will definitely not be polite to you."

It made other ministers feel uncomfortable to have the emperor's "insiders" so high-spirited.So they all stood up and spoke.

Li Dongyang even stood up to resign, "The old minister has been an official since he entered the court. He has successively served as an editor, a lecturer, and a lecturer in the East Palace. He has never guarded a city or a pool. Presumptuously occupying the position of cabinet ministers, please Your Majesty's prospective ministers to serve, and leave them for useful ministers."

Zhu Houzhao pursed his thin lips,
Bad experience?

Li Dongyang became famous at a young age, Li Shu Jishi, Hanlin editor, Hanlin Xiuzhuan, Donggong lecturer, and then entered Zhiwenyuan Pavilion as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Ministry of rites, and pre-engineering. What's wrong with this experience?In the current concept, this is simply the chosen person.

Saying this on purpose was actually a little bit of a secret contempt for the emperor.

The ministers in the cabinet have too many qualifications. You are like Liu Jian. He was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Emperor Yingzong Tianshun.

Zhu Houzhao didn't feel it until he sat in this position, but when he really came up, he felt that this kind of veteran who didn't make sense was really holding back too much.

But now the Emperor Daxing stretched out his hand to these veterans of the former court just after his death. The key point is that they have a very good reputation, and they have a mean and ungrateful name no matter what.

Liu, Li, and Xie were all fine before, that is to say, since he became the emperor, something has changed.

In fact, it is inevitable, because the pattern has changed.

In the past, the cabinet was the middle ground between opposing the prince and supporting the prince.

Now that Zhu Houzhao has become the emperor himself, he has to carry out a lot of government affairs, and the decision-making like sending troops is actually very big, which caused the cabinet to lose the space it had before and was pushed to the foreground.

Although there is a certain degree of mutual affection between each other, even if the dispute over sending troops reaches that level...Zhu Houzhao didn't care too much with them, and Liu Jian didn't treat the new emperor as a fool.
But once the evolution of the power structure starts to turn, it has nothing to do with whether people are good or bad.

Out of self-interest considerations, the cabinet can no longer support Zhu Houzhao as before, and it is even more impossible to hide. In the past, there was Emperor Xiaozong and the prince, but now the cabinet is the emperor. Where can they hide?
"Mr. Li Ge, don't mention the resignation request. You know, I especially don't like my subjects to mention this to me."

When the emperor said this, he made a special case for the old officials, and it was more or less an expression of affection.

"My minister made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao ignored him, and didn't want to answer this question. The main reason was that it wasn't Governor Yingtian, and he took it as he said.There must be a legitimate reason for taking a cabinet minister.

"For the compilation of the real records of the late emperor, the supervisor is still the British public Zhang Mao. Who will be the chief executive and vice president?"

Wang Jia replied: "His Majesty, the chief executive officer is generally held by a scholar of the Palace Pavilion."

In this case, it is reasonable to say that they are Liu Jian, a scholar of Huagaidian University, Li Dongyang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Qian, a scholar of Dongge University, and others.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, "Mr. Liu Ge and Mr. Xie Ge are the presidents, Liang Chu, the servant of the Ministry of official affairs, and Gu Zuo, the servant of the household department, are the vice presidents. The rest of the staff should draw up a note from the cabinet."

In this way, Li Dongyang was missed again.

"Your Majesty..." Lin Hanjin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said, "It is extremely important for the new monarch to compile the "Records" for Emperor Daxing. It seems that the court should not abandon one person."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that I was not filial to the late emperor?"

Lin Han was startled, and immediately knelt down, "I dare not!"

Zhu Houzhao has been in the top position for a long time, and now he has become more proficient in his tone and expression, and his momentum has become stronger. Even some important officials in the court would sweat their palms in front of the emperor.

"You have to take good care of the training of high-ranking officials. After you go back, start it immediately. The object, content, and time and place of the training must be considered in advance, and reported to me for reading. During this process, you must not use power for personal gain."

Lin Han was even more surprised. The emperor's understanding of officialdom and power far surpassed that of the previous emperor.

This kind of training is indeed prone to corruption, because the emperor cares about it, so this training quota is very important. At least these people can get close to the emperor. Not everyone will have this opportunity!
So who will have this chance?

In the end, it fell on the famous saying: There are people in the court who are good officials.

This is yesterday's chapter.was audited last night

I still can't write about war hahaha
I also went to study it specially, but it still didn't work. When I read the book myself, I fell asleep when I saw the war scene.However, the plot needs to be written more or less. This book does not focus on the plot of the army hacking and killing. This is also the original intention of the book.
