The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty have begun to think of the history books of the former Tang Dynasty and even earlier.
At that time, all members of the royal family could serve as officials in the court. As a member of the royal family, they were given official positions and were invisibly higher than ordinary officials in the court.
Originally, the establishment of the tax office was, for the officials, just a place to collect taxes and collect money for the court and the royal family.
There is nothing wrong with using a clan in a place like this.
No one is more reassured than his own children and grandchildren.
But now, the Crown Prince of Prince Yan actually appointed officials above the court. In front of all the officials in Beijing, he made different voices and publicly refuted the recommendation of Wang Jun, the Minister of Industry.
The meaning of this incident will be completely different from others.
People looked at the emperor at the palace gate.
His Majesty the Emperor showed no dissatisfaction about this.
This undoubtedly shows that the emperor has no objection to this clan grandson's participation in government affairs.
If you don't object, you support it.
This is dangerous.
Zhu Yuanzhang really liked the fat boy from the fourth family in front of him.
He looks like a simple and honest child.
In the past two years, I stayed in Yingtian and served the court in a very methodical and orderly manner.
A minister is a minister.
Descendants are descendants.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, his own bloodline will always be more trusted by him than those officials who pursue fame and wealth.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who was by the emperor's side, was also very satisfied with his nephew.
He even felt that if his cub, who was busy all day long, could be more calm than his fat nephew, then he would really feel relieved.
But now that I have a fat nephew in the court, I hope that my own son will be able to govern stably after getting along.
If something happens in the court, the two brothers can discuss with each other and make suggestions.
The two men under the palace gate were thinking about their own things and had no intention of speaking.
The face of Wang Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, turned colder. He turned sideways and looked back at the young man who looked fat and fair not far behind him.
Wang Jun smiled and spoke softly: "Director, Zou Xueyu has experience as an official in Jiaozhi Road. He just returned to Beijing this year to report on his duties and was transferred to Yingtian Prefecture. He can be said to be experienced in the local area. Jiaozhi Road was also newly established at the beginning, and now It can be said that he is the best candidate to go to Yingzhou to serve as an official.
As for Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang in Zhongdu, he has been an official for many years and has guarded Zhongdu for several years. He is most familiar with the place and how to stabilize it. When he goes to Yingzhou, he can look after each other with Zou Zhifu to help."
Zou Xueyu, the magistrate of Yingtian, who was standing in the ranks of the third-grade civil servants, had a calm face. He just looked in front of him silently and strongly recommended him to go to Yingzhou to serve as the chief political officer of Wang Jun.
Zou Xueyu was not surprised at all that Wang Jun wanted to drive him away from Yingtian.
You must know that since I took office as the prefect of Yingtian this year, I have slapped the Ministry of Industry in the face several times.
Everyone knows that Yingtian Mansion is building the Shangyuanmen Wharf and storage area, and is also digging a waterway from the Shangyuanmen Wharf to Xuanwu Lake.
This matter should have been reported to the Ministry of Works by Ying Tianfu. The Ministry of Works had a plan and then discussed with the Ministry of Household Affairs to come up with a reasonable amount of money and food. Finally, the three yamen jointly reported it to the cabinet.
It is clear.
Zou Xueyu and a group of people from Yingtian Mansion worked hard for more than half a month, and the "Request for Construction of Shangyuanmen Wharf Storage Area and Connecting Canal to Xuanwu Lake" was sent to the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and then was Wang Jun refused.
Zou Xueyu, the magistrate of the mighty Gyeonggi Province, was naturally unhappy.
He backhand handed a note directly to the cabinet.
The young cabinet minister Gao Yangzhi welcomed Yingtian Magistrate of Gyeonggi Province like a spring breeze.
The two sides held a harmonious discussion in the cabinet.
Zou Zhifu fully explained the necessity of building the Shangyuanmen Wharf storage area and the water channel connecting Xuanwu Lake, as well as the impact and potential value it would bring to the capital.
Mr. Gao Ge carefully read and reviewed Yingtian Mansion's 100,000-word plan, and on the spot affirmed Yingtian Mansion's attitude of always working hard, praised Yingtian Mansion's officials headed by Zou Xueyu, the prefect, and praised Yingtian Mansion for working for the benefit of the people of the capital. , a high degree of political consciousness that shared the worries of the imperial court.
During the discussion, the cabinet's deputy assistant, Bachelor of Science Xie Jin, spoke from the side and expressed his high recognition and support for the Tianfu work plan.
The cabinet minister and the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Wei Guogong Xu Yungong, expressed his concerns about the defense of the capital, and after receiving a full explanation, he also expressed his support.
Finally, the 100,000-word plan was handed over to the chief minister of the cabinet, Ren Hengtai.
The cabinet made some revisions to Yingtianfu's work plan, and finally reached a cabinet consensus and submitted it to the Holy See.
Ying Tianfu, or Zou Xueyu.
Regarding this matter when I first took office, I gave the Minister of Industry a severe slap in the face.
This slap was directed towards Wang Jun's face.
Finally, Wang Jun had to smile and accept the official document from the cabinet requesting the Ministry of Industry to co-organize Yingtianfu.
Whether it's Zou Xueyu's political stance or the fact that both parties have long since taken over.
At this time, Wang Jun had the opportunity to drive Zou Xueyu away, so he would not let it go.
And nominally, he was still contributing to Zou Xueyu's promotion.
Zou Xueyu had nothing to say.
When it comes to his appointment, he is speechless.
But Zhu Gaochi was already prepared.
In front of Fengtian Gate.
Zhu Gaochi coughed lightly.
"Don't you know, Wang Shangshu, that Yingtian Mansion is now troubled by the increasingly busy, overcrowded, and unusable Longwan Wharf. The entire Yingtian Mansion, from the prefect to the officials, are spending time at Shangyuan Gate every day, just to The Shangyuanmen Wharf can be built as soon as possible to alleviate the freight pressure on the capital.
How could Magistrate Zou be transferred away from Magistrate Yingtian at such a critical moment?
In the past few years, the imperial court has deployed troops everywhere, and only in response to the sky and the earth, there are internal treasuries, household warehouses, arsenals, troops from the north and south, and money and grain shipped across the sea.
Merchants from all over the world communicate with each other, and overseas barbarian merchants have navigation.
If the Shangyuanmen Pier is not completed, Yingtian City will probably be blocked by water in the end.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Is Wang Shangshu going to ignore the smooth flow of the capital? Or is he going to stop the imperial court because the roads and docks are blocked? "
The past few years of living in Yingtian, especially staying with Zhu Yunxi for a long time, taught Zhu Gaochi a very important and critical rule of survival.
That is, whenever you want to attack someone, you have to put up the biggest flag and suppress the other person as soon as you open your mouth.
Do you, Wang Jun, want to block the capital so that the emperor cannot leave his house?
This charge was laid squarely and unabashedly on the head of Wang Jun, Minister of Industry.
In the crowd, there was a low and subtle gasp of cold air.
Who would have thought that this seemingly honest and honest heir apparent would be so sharp when he spoke.
Wang Jun opened his mouth and was about to refute.
But Zhu Gaochi did not give him a chance to refute at all, and continued in a deep voice: "Moreover, Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang, the central capital, the White Lotus Sect was hiding in Fengyang City not long ago. The emperor Sun Kuanren just transferred him The position of magistrate is temporarily taken by the Northern Patrol Team.
Your Majesty has decreed at the beginning of this year that the Taisun will leave the capital. The civil and military authorities in the place where he is located will respect the Taisun's orders. All appointments and removals of officials will be decided by the Taisun.
The imperial court has clear rewards and punishments, so why is it that after just a little punishment of Qiu Fengzhen, within a few months, Wang Shangshu wants her to take up a high position as the chief minister of a certain territory and become the official of that territory?"
In front of Fengtian Gate.
Everyone seemed to see a dark cauldron falling from the sky and landing tightly on Wang Jun's head.
Forming a party for personal gain!
Although the Crown Prince of Yan Palace did not say it clearly, his silence was better than his voice.
At this time, the emperor's grandson is still punishing Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang. You, Wang Jun, are going to be sent to Yingzhou to become the official of Xinjiang.
Isn't this just to make room for the other party, and also let the other party sit in the ranks of the core officials of the empire?
What else can this be but forming a clique for personal gain?
Zhu Gaochi only said two words, but Wang Jun was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his face turned blue and white.
He couldn't believe that in the past, this unassuming prince of Prince Yan's palace could actually make such sharp remarks.
In just one court meeting, he has become a traitorous minister who suppresses dissidents and forms cliques for personal gain?
Under the doorway, Zhu Yuanzhang could hardly help laughing.
Looking at the honest and honest emperor's grandson in front of me, I actually saw a bit of that bastard.
It is true that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
The meeting fell into a brief silence.
Everyone has a new understanding of Zhu Gaochi who just made some sharp remarks.
This person is both a member of the clan and the future heir to King Yan, and he has a deep friendship with the emperor's grandson.
I'm afraid this person will be an indispensable presence in the future court.
Zhai Shan, the Minister of Civil Service, who has been feeling neglected recently, finally walked out of the train.
When he reached Wang Jun's side, he kept a little distance away.
Zhai Shan turned back to look at Zhu Gaochi and said with a smile: "The director and Wang Shangshu have different opinions on the recommendation. I wonder if the director has someone in his heart to recommend, who is worthy of being the chief officer of the fourth and third divisions of Yingzhou?"
Wang Jun's eyebrows twitched.
He looked at Zhai Shan, who had obviously deliberately distanced himself from him, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
This old man is going to cause trouble!
Sure enough, Zhu Gaochi had already taken over the words at this time: "Zhai Shangshu Tiai, you are the heavenly official of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and you naturally know the best among all the officials in the world. When it comes to the people selected as the chief officials of the four roads and three divisions of Yingzhou, I'm afraid Shangshu Zhai is the most qualified to speak."
Wang Jun was about to faint.
When this guy praised Zhai Shan, he didn't forget to mock himself again.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes rolled around. If anyone had any complaints at this time, it was because they had brought it upon themselves.
Zhai Shan smiled.
This heirloom of the clan not only has strict logic and sharp words, but also has good conduct in every aspect.
He said: "There are tens of thousands of officials in the court, and most of them are capable officials and loyal ministers. However, the chief officials of the fourth and third divisions of Yingzhou must be selected carefully. After all, it is the land of the New Deal, which is what is now Yingzhou. There are fewer and fewer common people, but we still have to guard against the spread of unrest.
In this case, the imperial court will send important officials there.
The Four Roads of Yingzhou are also post-war places. The people's livelihood in the place is in decline, and everything is in ruins. It still needs to be rebuilt. Therefore, it is even more necessary for people who are proficient in the affairs here.
The four roads of Yingzhou are far away from the Central Plains and cross the sea. The consumption of money and food is huge, and there are several gold and silver mines owned by the imperial court, and the amount of money coming in and out is huge. The imperial court also needs people who are proficient in this area to go and sit in charge to stabilize the annual tax revenue for the imperial court."
The Minister of Civil Affairs made a long speech, but he did not say who he thought was more suitable to go to the four roads of Yingzhou.
But he didn't mention names, but he had narrowed the list down to a small enough range.
In full view of everyone, Zhu Gaochi frowned and fell into deep thought.
Wang Jun looked at Zhai Shan, and then stared at Zhu Gaochi for a while, until suddenly his back started to feel hairy and he shouted in his heart that something was wrong.
Zhu Gaochi was the first to speak: "Your Majesty! I believe that the chief officials of the three divisions of the four roads in Yingzhou should be Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue! The four roads can be appointed by other officials, and the Yingzhou can be appointed above the four roads. He is the governor of Yingzhou and is in charge of the four affairs of Yingzhou."
Zhai Shan had already lowered his head silently, hiding under the corner of his mouth was a fleeting smile.
Wang Jun felt dizzy. He had just noticed that something was wrong. Sure enough, something happened.
But Yu Xin, the Minister of Hubu, was about to get angry and beat Wang Jun severely.
This guy is so stubborn that he insists on driving Zou Xueyu out of Yingtian Mansion. Now it would be better to let Zhai Shan and Zhu Gaochi cooperate and send him and this guy to Yingzhou together.
However, Wang Jun and Yu Xin didn't wait for them to speak.
Zhai Shan here immediately added after Zhu Gaochi finished speaking: "Governor... I have never had this before."
As soon as he said these words, Yu Xin and Wang Jun, who had already looked gloomy, couldn't help but raise their heads and look at him.
Is this old man’s conscience discovered?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But the next second.
Zhai Shan said again: "Your Majesty, I remember that the position of governor can be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
In the first year of Yanhe, Lai Daqian followed Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Northern Expedition and defeated Rouran. Emperor Taiwu issued an edict and appointed Lai Daqian to patrol six towns to prevent bandits.
In the first year of Jingming Dynasty, Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty sent Beizhen Governor Yang Bo, who was also his servant, to provide relief to Beizhen because of a famine.
In the former Tang Dynasty, the post of governor was established, and during the Wuzhou Dynasty, Di Gong served as the minister of the Ministry of Industry and concurrently as the governor of Jiangnan."
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who felt that he had been neglected recently, still closed his mouth at the most appropriate position.
There are two more black faces in front of Fengtian Gate.
Wang Jun and Yu Xin were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Not to mention the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
For example, during the Wu and Zhou dynasties, Di Renjie had served as the governor of Jiangnan.
Can the two of them compare with Di Renjie?
Old Man Zhai didn't say anything, but he said everything!
How abominable!
At this time, Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, also came out: "Your Majesty, I believe that Yingzhou is the land of the New Deal, and the establishment of four roads by the imperial court is certainly due to the system of our dynasty. However, the new land is different from the Central Plains, and the four roads of Yingzhou are all As a place, we can temporarily set up the governor's office on top of the four roads and three division offices, and temporarily serve as the general commander of the imperial court, Yingzhou. In the future, when the four roads of Yingzhou become more and more stable, we can also abolish the governor's office of Yingzhou."
During the court, both ministers expressed their opinions.
There was also a clan prince who helped from the side.
Most officials knew that this matter was probably going to be settled.
The Yingzhou Governor's Yamen was higher than the Si Dao San Si Yamen. Therefore, whether Wang Jun and Yu Xin took up the post of governor in the end, or others, it would not be considered a demotion.
Now, if the cabinet comes out in support again.
This matter must be a done deal.
With a hint of smile and a hint of sarcasm, everyone's eyes swept over Wang Jun and Yu Xin and towards the cabinet ministers closest to the emperor in front of the Fengtian Gate.
