Sitting on the dragon throne, Zhu Changluo nodded, expressing his recognition that Zheng Haizhu was right to the point.
Among them, there was a person with a frosty face.
It was the newly appointed Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, Xiong Tingbi.
Zheng Haizhu's words, military affairs, military positions, military pay, all are inseparable from the word "military", and every word seems to poke the face of his military department.
Xiong Tingbi, a native of Chu, is more upright than Yang Lian and likes to be tough.
He didn't care that the woman opposite him was rumored to have eliminated his old enemy Yao Zongwen, and he would not be grateful to Zheng Haizhu for his recommendation.
If you sit in the Ministry of War, you are not allowed to openly accuse the Ministry of War of having loopholes in its remote control.
Xiong Tingbi made a heavy coughing sound deep in his throat.
Zhu Changluo looked at him: "Master Xiong, do you have something to say?"
Xiong Tingbi said: "When I came to the Ministry of War, it was also the time when Yang Lian was appointed to manage Liaodong. We had a detailed discussion and both thought that the Liao generals were not trustworthy. Those old and new generals may be well versed in the strategy of supporting the invaders to respect themselves.
What does Mrs. Zheng think?"
Zheng Haizhu wants to blow up Xiong Tingbi, which is expected.
If she were the minister of the Ministry of War, she would jump out first and clear her responsibilities in front of the big boss Zhu Changluo. It's just the way of officialdom.
Zheng Haizhu then responded calmly: "What Xiong Shilang meant was that the fall of Efeu City after Zhang Pei's death was not due to the lack of timely dispatch by the court, but because the Liao generals would have neglected to defend or assist some military forts, which caused
Jiannu won a victory, which is a sign that the captors' sentiments are raging again. Ask Bi Shangshu's Household Department for some public money. Anyway, the Liao Pay Department has reserves for the past six months?"
"Exactly." Xiong Tingbi stared at Zheng Haizhu.
Regardless of age, seniority, or conceited experience, or even the origin of one from the hot Jingchu and the other from the gentle Jiangnan, Xiong Tingbi's attitude at the moment seems much stiffer than that of Zheng Haizhu.
When Xiong Tingbi last inspected Liaodong, it was during the Wanli period, and Zhu Changluo was still a coward prince, and was not familiar with his abilities and official reputation.
At this moment, the middle-aged emperor couldn't help but murmur in his heart, Master Zheng, before you went to Mongolia, you told me about Xiong Tingbi of the Chu Party, saying that he was one of the few civil servants who knew martial arts and soldiers. Now look at this nine-headed man.
Bird, it will peck you when it raises its beak.
Zheng Haizhu, on the other hand, had an attitude of "You are as strong as you are, the breeze blows on the hills", and simply said calmly: "The new official ignores the old official's accounts, the minister has only been in charge of the army for a few days, today I said that the military situation is delayed
, nor for the minister. First and second, it is true that the generals in Liaodong have a deep foundation, but the court had already dealt with it during the Jiajing period. Now Li Chengliang's only son who can fight is guarding Kaitie and has not taken charge of Liao.
Shen Bingquan, the generals and guards in the Qinghe area of Fushun, almost no longer have the Li family's old troops. As for Zhang Chengyin, Zou Chuxian, Mao Wenlong and other brave generals, they killed the old chieftain in the First Battle of Fushun. In recent years, the Tatars have been unable to capture the west. Both China and foreign countries have
You know, if the court doesn’t even believe them, Master Xiong said, who should they believe?”
"Zheng..."
As soon as Xiong Tingbi rolled the word "Zheng" to the edge of his beard, Zheng Haizhu stopped him: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Thirdly, Xiong Shilang's worry actually goes back to the key point I just mentioned, that is,
How much truth does the imperial court know? After grasping the truth, are the plans and decisions reasonable? The military is quick, the plan is decisive, and the two seemingly opposite opinions are actually the same as whether to advocate war or peace. They are right and wrong.
Whether or not, it all depends on the situation."
Xiong Tingbi's face was originally even more ugly, but after careful consideration of the third point that the woman said, it was the theory of knowing soldiers, and she really had no intention of competing with him, so the seriousness in her eyes became slightly lighter.
.
Zhu Changluo spoke at the right time, and in the approachable tone of the top decision-maker, he smiled at the first assistant Ye Xianggao and the second assistant Zhou Jiamo: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhou, look, these two people have worked in the fields of Liaodong.
, even if we quarrel, what we say is all insider talk. Yes, I just like to hear such arguments, and they are all pointless. Hehe, hehe..."
Zuo Guangdou and Bi Ziyan from the Ministry of Public Procuratorate had no reaction to the Emperor's string of "Haha". Shang Zhou Zuo, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who was always wondering when to start speaking his lines, seemed to hear the sound of gongs.
Ready to appear.
"Your Majesty, the censor who patrols Liaodong is only of the seventh rank, and Mrs. Zheng is of the sixth rank. Why don't we put some title in Shilang Xiong's military department and patrol Liaodong?" Shang Zhouzuo said, and turned to Zuo Guangdou.
, "General Xian, I heard that Yang Jinglue recommended Mrs. Zheng to give lectures to the prince. Isn't that good? Everyone in Liaodong can go to one place to talk."
Zuo Guangdou did not regard Shang Zhouzuo as a Zhejiang Party member. He was very polite to him and smiled warmly. After he finished laughing, he guessed in his heart what the Zheng family must have achieved today, so that the officials were so angry
The officials are all paving the way for her.
Sure enough, the emperor took over Shang Zhou Zuo's words and asked Zheng Haizhu: "Do you dare to go to the Ministry of War to collect pay?"
Zheng Haizhu stood up and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, I have soldiers registered with the Ministry of War in Chongming. Xu Yilong, who was recently promoted to guerrilla, is receiving salary from the Ministry of War. Even if the emperor in his prime is as broad-minded as the sea, even if all the bosses have extraordinary support and kindness,
Regardless of whether a woman has no merit in the imperial examination, she is willing to be appointed an official, and I, Mrs. Zheng, can no longer hold the empty post of the Ministry of War. As for the patrol censor, let Mrs. Zheng boldly say that they only have the duty of impeachment and picketing. The original imperial order sent
It's a bit far-fetched for me to go to Chahar and ask for the name of Xuan Daguan. Therefore, today, with the sincerity of serving the country with loyalty to the emperor, Zheng wants to set a precedent and ask for a new position from Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty: Secretary of State.
."
After saying this, Cao Huachun took advantage of the convenience of standing next to the emperor and quickly scanned everyone's faces.
At present, all the civil servants who can accompany Long Live Lord in making decisions are in this room.
The first auxiliary leaves are facing high, without waves or ripples.
Second Assistant Zhou Jiamo glanced at Mr. Ye Ge and quickly looked away.
Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, leaned forward slightly, wanting to confirm which three words it was, but he leaned back on his chair, consciously recognizing that "I am not the Minister of the Ministry of Affairs."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xiong Tingbi, the Minister of War, frowned even more tightly. However, he did not look as aggressive as before, but looked slightly confused.
Zuo Guangdou of the Metropolitan Procuratorate looked at the woman who was speaking, as if he was listening to the official report from his censor. Like Ye Xianggao, his face was calm.
Shang Zhouzuo lowered his eyes and looked at the blue bricks in the palace. He looked completely different from the active one just now, as if he was on duty.
The one who speaks first is naturally the Emperor.
"Secretary of State? You mean, in Ming Dynasty, a new official position will be established? A new government office will be established?"
Zheng Haizhu said: "Yes. In our Ming Dynasty, since the first year of Hongwu, there have been many additional government offices that are in charge of national affairs. For example, the Department of Officials, the Department of Examination of Merits, and the Department of Clearing Officials, which was added during the Zhengtong period, and the Department of Household Affairs, Sichuan Department of Clearing Officials
, was added during the Xuande period, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was established in the eighth year of Jiajing. The Shangbao Division and the Xingren Division were all new in the Ming Dynasty. Oh, by the way, the largest new yamen was the Ducha
The courtyard is different from the Yushitai in the Song Dynasty. In this case, in the Taichang Dynasty, which has a new atmosphere, it is also possible to add a cardinal's office."
"This woman can recite it very smoothly. She is setting a precedent for herself." Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, thought to himself.
Bi Ziyan looked at the people attending today as if it had nothing to do with him, but as he looked at the situation in front of him, he became more and more interested.
This Zheng family's move in Qingtian, Shandong Province is of great benefit to their household department. Bi Ziyan does not reject the idea of having such a person enter the central decision-making level.
What's more, this seems to be a confrontation with the old merchant. When the new official Zhou Zuo of the Shang Dynasty took office, he proposed to evaluate the officials based on the performance of Qingtian in various places. In fact, he also gave them a sedan chair from the household department. He was strict with the people he had made friends with.
What's the point of playing devil's advocate?
Just listen to Zhu Changluo say: "Master Zheng, this Secretary of State, can you explain it in more detail?"
Zheng Haizhu began to carefully trick the senior officials present: "Although there is the word "state affairs", the rank is naturally much lower than that of the ministry officials. Shaoqing is like the deputy of Taipu Temple, with the fourth rank. Do you have the authority?
, collected military information from all nine sides, sent envoys to foreign territories, negotiated with the countries in Europe and the West, advised on attacks, and reported countermeasures to His Majesty, but there was no impeachment or picketing, let alone a vote for approval."
Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi was just about to say, "Isn't that in conflict with the responsibilities of the Ministry of War and Honglu Temple?" Then he suddenly realized that Jinyiwei and Dongchang, could they say that the Ministry of War had made a mistake?
Factory guards are the emperor's private soldiers, so the official position that the woman in front of her wants sounds like a mere fourth-grade job, but in fact isn't it that she is a civil servant of the emperor?
"Shang Shu, please tell me how many of the fourth and fifth grade officials listed in the Ministry of Personnel have no meritorious titles?"
"Well, Your Majesty, our dynasty has an ancestral system of civil servants. The sons of the first-grade civil servants can take up the fifth-grade civil servants without passing the imperial examination. From there, the descendants descend to the seventh-grade civil servants, and some are the sons of the third-grade civil servants."
Shang Zhouzuo seemed not to answer, but actually he answered again.
"Okay, I understand." Zhu Changluo said calmly.
Ye Xianggao, the first assistant who had never said anything, finally spoke up and said slowly: "When she was the prince's master, Mrs. Zheng had no fame."
Cao Huachun felt happy.
It’s done.
There are many rules in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy for Long Live Lord.
Cao Huachun looked at the figure standing at the bottom.
What’s even more difficult is for this woman who came from a young age.
In what year did she go to Yuegang to sell goods to the imperial court?
It's pretty early anyway.
After so many years, she finally managed to get a fourth-grade official robe.
Mom, if this was in the playbook, she would have become Wu Zetian long ago, right? Otherwise, who would bother to read it?
