Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 28
"There is no need to discuss this matter again!"

With just six words, Zhu Youtang determined the nature of this matter.

It's just that Zhu Youtang's words fell into the ears of all the officials, and everyone's reaction seemed very subtle.

It was their conception that the new, generous prince would obey them.No matter what kind of things the new dynasty encounters, the new monarch will be good at accepting advice, so as to become a wise and good monarch.

But the current situation is not what everyone expected, and the new king seems quite assertive.

If you are already so young now, if you wait a few more years, wouldn't this new king be able to go to heaven?I'm afraid he will become the second Chenghua Emperor again?
Unfortunately, Zhu Youtang claimed that this matter was the late emperor's last words, so it's really not good to strongly oppose it, at least it's not easy to have a direct confrontation with Zhu Youtang right now.

As such, everyone realizes that the new king is different and may even be out of their grasp.

Liu Ji and Wan An are Erjia Jinshi who have been orthodox for 13 years. They entered the Imperial Academy together as Shujishi, and then all the way from the Imperial Academy to the Ministry of Rites and then entered the cabinet. They have worked together in the capital for 40 years.

The two keenly sensed that Zhu Youtang was probably a very assertive monarch, and they looked at each other tacitly, then turned to look at Xu Pu in the square below the stage.

"Your Majesty, when Wang Yue wrote poems to resent being banished to Anlu by the late emperor, he is now a guilty person. This person should not be reused! If Your Majesty insists on sending a prime minister, Yanzheng, you can hand it over to the Jiuqing court!" With Yue's temperament, he immediately stood up and stopped the Taoist.

Once that old man Wang Yue went to sort out the salt administration, not to mention that his disciple Li Zhiqing would be difficult to preserve, the officials of the entire salt administration system would probably be killed.

That's the case, even if Wan An or Liu Ji's faction officials are allowed to go to Prime Minister Yanzheng, officials like Wang Yue who don't know how to live in harmony with each other cannot be allowed to go.

"Master Xu, I'm afraid you don't know something! The first emperor said that Wang Yue was the number one military genius in the Ming Dynasty, but he was aloof and arrogant, so he was punished with the crime of writing poems and resentment, so as to dispel his spirit. However, Wang Yue's earlier statement The book made it clear that the original intention was not to complain, and the late emperor did not intend to blame. Now the Ministry of Criminal Justice can vindicate Wang Yue's crime, but there is something wrong with the poem, and temporarily change the dismissal and demotion, which can be the left deputy capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate The censor went to Huaibei Prime Minister Yan Zheng!" Zhu Youtang knew that Wang Yue had to be used to solve the salt problem, so he immediately moved out of Chenghua Emperor Dao again.

Liang Fang couldn't help turning her head to look at the serious Zhu Youtang. If she hadn't been serving in front of Chenghua Emperor's bed all the time, she might really have believed such nonsense.

Wan An thought that Wang Yue never talked about the world in his work, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and immediately gave Li Yu a look.

Li Yu came out of the line with understanding, and saluted Zhu Youtang: "Your Majesty, the matter of rehabilitating Wang Yue is related to the law of the Ming Dynasty, please issue an order for court discussion. Renting Wang Yue as the left deputy capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is related to the fate of important officials in the court. Please push it!"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang regarded the civil official group as a worker, when the Ming Dynasty ushered in an emperor who was only eight years old, the civil official group finally won the coveted right to appoint personnel - the court recommendation system.

Tingtui, also known as Huitui, is a minister of civil and military affairs selected by Beijing officials of the third rank or above and Jiuqing to fill the vacancy. The number of candidates varies, and His Majesty will make the final decision.

Since Ming Yingzong, Ting Tui has stepped onto the stage of history and has become the most important way for the Ming Dynasty to appoint ministers.Although the decision is still in the hands of His Majesty, they have firmly grasped the right to recommend.

"Then do it!"

Zhu Youtang already has his own insights through the power tactics of historical online novels, and his temperament is indeed very calm, so he doesn't intend to act too hastily.

Even if these civil servants finally disagree with the court pushing Wang Yue, they still have to give themselves a reasonable explanation, but Wang Yue's charges have been skillfully erased by himself, and it is undoubtedly a matter of course to appoint this person.

Seeing that Zhu Youtang was not an autocratic monarch, Wan An and other officials could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief, and at the same time began to think about how to deal with this matter.

In the end, the salt administration system is their most important source of income. If the salt administration system is really cleaned up, then they will probably be given a [-]% discount on the ice and charcoal warning.

The morning sun rose slowly, and the golden sunlight fell on the bodies of civil and military officials, making people look very comfortable at this time.

Zhang Sheng, as an unpopular left concubine, can only be an audience when he comes to the early court, but seeing Zhu Youtang's performance today, he is found to be a born emperor.

In the early dynasty, there was a fixed order of reporting, and each yamen took turns to play.

Li Min, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, reported the disaster situation in Shandong, and asked Zhu Youtang to send [-] shi of Taicang grain for disaster relief.

"Zoo!" Zhu Youtang waved his hand without blinking his eyes, facing the mere [-] shi for disaster relief.

The grain storage in Tongzhou granary today exceeds 2000 million shi. Who would have thought that Chenghua Emperor, who is considered by many people in later generations, would be able to leave such a full treasury to his son.

As the saying goes, "If you have food at home, don't panic." Faced with such a small amount of disaster relief, it is not a big deal at all.

After the report from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it was the turn of the Imperial Academy and Zhan Shifu, and then the Sixth Division.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, set up six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers according to the six departments. They were assigned to the left and right to serve as middle-level officials. There are more than [-] people in total, who are responsible for supervising the six departments and are relatively independent in the process of operation. , is a relatively independent supervision system independent of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Ming Dynasty.

Although all of the six subjects are of the seventh rank, and the left and right of the six subjects are both of the seventh rank, it is a model of Da Ming's position of lightness of words.

Wang Zhi was elected on behalf of the six departments and said: "Officials, Zuoge, Wang Zhi, Chen Sishi! One said: denounce heresy. I want to send extra officials from the monk's Taoist yamen, and real people. Chan masters and the like should be dismissed.... The second said: Stop making offerings. In recent years, those who offer gems, playware, and other things have passed by, investigate and pursue them.... The third said: Eliminate redundant officials. Want to get close It is passed down to officials every year, and civilian positions cannot be selected by the people; military positions cannot be determined by military meritorious service, and those who have made military achievements are generally abolished... Fourth: Minister of Rites. Those who are ill and want to leave their posts, Xu Lingzhi from Chen Xiuzhi, do not Xuke Taoist officials, impeachment by name."

This……

Wan An has been watching the show with an attitude of watching from the other side, but suddenly noticed that Wang Zhi glanced at him when he mentioned the fifth point, and couldn't help being stunned.

Looking at the meaning in the eyes of this junior, this is clearly to point the sword at yourself, the old chief assistant, are you polite?
It's just that these young people like to daydream. How could they resign on their own initiative? Isn't this position of chief assistant occupying a good position?
"Heretics, tributes, and redundant officials are ordered to be investigated and dealt with by all yamen, but they cannot be generalized! The old and ineffective are allowed to report themselves. I summon the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and I will make my own decision!" Zhu Youtang has already figured out this early court. According to the process, he replied to the answer that had been finalized last night.

Ordinarily, Zhu Youtang replied to his memorial, so Wang Zhi could go back to work, but Wang Zhi still knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to add!"

Huh?
When they heard this, everyone looked at Wang Zhi and Zhu Youtang.

According to the tradition of the early dynasty, the report was made according to the copy of the memorial submitted yesterday, and now this kind of behavior is undoubtedly adding drama.

Of course, it is entirely up to Zhu Youtang whether he can play the extra.

"Zoo!" Zhu Youtang agreed without thinking too much.

After all, Wang Zhi still underestimated the morals of the world, and Wang Zhi seemed righteous and dignified: "Liu Yue: Be cautious about government orders. Your Majesty is the first to ascend the Great Treasure, and there are many problems with government affairs. Now that a virtuous minister is in court, you can turn over the matter to the court. Employers should be recommended by the court. If you act arbitrarily, you will guard against the training of the Sui Dynasty!"

Taking history as a mirror is a habit of all dynasties.

The Ming Dynasty learned the lessons of the chaos of foreign relatives in the Han Dynasty, so it has always been wary of foreign relatives becoming bigger.It also learned from the lessons of the kings of the Sui Dynasty who died arbitrarily for the second generation. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty also advocated that the king accept advice, and discuss important matters in the court with the ministers.

Wang Zhi's addition of this article is undoubtedly aimed at Zhu Youtang's earlier accusation on the Yanzheng and Wangyue affairs, emphasizing the status of the court's push and court discussion.

Xu Pu had always been suspicious of what happened just now, so he couldn't help giving Wang Zhi a thumbs up silently at this time. He is really a role model for the officials of science and Taoism, and he should let His Majesty put himself in the right place.

"I have my own decision on this matter, let's step back!" Zhu Youtang didn't expect to be warned by such a small official, but he waved his hand holding back his temper.

It's not that he doesn't want to let go of his grievances, but since he is in this position, and he is facing the smartest group of people in this era, he naturally has to move forward and retreat in a certain way.

Gou Jian has been able to sit on his back for ten years, and the smartest thing he can do now is to dormant properly, instead of showing his werewolf cards early.

Wang Zhi's original plan was to provoke Zhu Youtang to gain a good reputation, and he was even ready to argue with reason, but when he saw Zhu Youtang waving at him, he could only retreat obediently.

With the completion of Wang Zhi's performance in the matter of Wang Zhi, the representative of the six departments, it was the last official's turn to start the performance. Today's morning court seems to be about to draw a successful conclusion.
