As Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu, recommended Qin Ye, all the officials in the palace looked at each other and thought about the reason.
Some officials who didn't know were searching for Qin Ye in their minds, with blank expressions. Most of them had no impression of him. Among the six central departments of the Han Dynasty, there were dozens of officials at the rank of doctor, not to mention a lot of them. Unless they were experts,
Not everyone in the Ministry of Personnel, Tianguan'er, knows the resume of every official.
"Qin Ye?"
Emperor Chongping didn't know why, but he felt that the name seemed familiar, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his mind. Isn't this Jia Ziyu's father-in-law?
It seems that he was working in the Ministry of Industry before, and there is also a female Qin family who was just appointed a royal concubine not long ago. Why is Xu Lu recommending Qin Ye now? Is there some hidden reason?
It's not that he didn't expect that the emperor and his party were secretly communicating with each other, giving and receiving privately, but he still knew Xu Deqing's character.
If Jia Heng begged to be a disciple of Xu Lu, he would have been impeached because of his temperament. But does this mean he has a public spirit?
When Yang Guochang heard this, he was shocked and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think this is not possible. This Qin Ye Lun is only in the fifth grade. How can he be so virtuous that he can be promoted to a ministry? I heard that Mr. Kuang is young.
You are over sixty years old, your eyes are dim and you are old, and you are included in this Beijing inspection. How can you be responsible for such a big job?"
Xu Lu looked pale, glanced at Yang Guochang coldly, and said quietly: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Yang Ge is already over sixty years old, right?"
Yang Guochang: "..."
He is a cabinet minister, how can such a doctor and a small official be compared with him?
His face turned gloomy. This Xu Deqing had met Jia Heng's son in Jingzhao Mansion before, and it was probably because of his trust that he recommended Qin Ye to succeed the Ministry of Industry.
Just when the minds of all the ministers were shocked, Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, held the wat tablet and said in a deep voice: "I am reporting to the Holy Lord that I believe that Qin Ye, a doctor in the Qingli Division of the Ministry of Industry's Maintenance Department, can be appointed to the Ministry of Industry. The imperial mausoleum is corrupt."
In the corruption case, all the staff of the Ministry of Industry were coerced by Pan Lu and they colluded with them. At this time when thousands of horses were in silence, only Qin Ye did not collude with them when he was running the Qing Dynasty Officials Department. The minister recommended Qin Ye as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Assistant Manager.
I will handle the affairs of the ministry and organize personnel affairs, and please ask the Holy Spirit for permission."
As soon as Zhao Yi said these words, it was like a huge stone causing a storm in the palace. All the officials in the palace suddenly changed their expressions and started talking a lot.
If we say that the recommendation of Xu Lu, the imperial censor of Zuodu, still has a bit of a solitary appeal, after all, since the revision of the "Longzhi Huidian", although it has not been explicitly stated that the minister must be replaced by a third- or fourth-rank official, but the official
The selection and appointment of personnel has gradually formed a well-established transfer process, so the people recommended by everyone in the past are mostly among the governors of the provinces, the two departments of the vassal, and the temple supervisors.
At this moment, the support of a minister of the Ministry of Industry is undoubtedly the greatest recognition among the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Yi was once a cabinet minister. Even though he has now returned to the headquarters, he still has no right to speak.
General courtiers are comparable.
This matter will undoubtedly be divided into 60 and 70 points.
Shi Jie, the Minister of War, saw this and frowned. After thinking about it, he felt that it might be better to wait and speak.
If he also recommends Qin Ye at this moment, amidst the doubts and criticisms just now, it may not add much weight to Qin Ye's taking over the position of the ministry, and it may easily cause some people to make malicious speculations.
Is it because he accepted benefits from Jia Ziyu, who was also in the military aircraft department, and gave him convenience? In the eyes of others, this seemed to be a suspicion of using the state's public assets for personal gain.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, a flash of thought flashed across his face, he frowned and asked: "Qin Ye has been in the Ministry of Industry for thirty years, why hasn't he been transferred?"
This is a question to Han Huang, the Minister of Civil Affairs. These officials have been in the first department for thirty years and have not been transferred. This is unusual in itself.
Han Huang's face straightened, he came out of the class and said: "For your information, Your Majesty, Qin Ye was not born in Kejia. In the past, he was appointed as a small official in the Ministry of Works, and then he accumulated merits and passed through the positions of chief officer and Yuanwailang. This is how he became
It took ten or twenty years, and by the time he was transferred to the position of doctor, the Ministry of Civil Affairs took special care of him. He was transferred to Mokan for nearly twenty years.
Province, but the Ministry of Works was busy with personnel, and there was no suitable vacancy, so it was gradually delayed. After the incident, this minister in charge of the Ministry of Personnel made such an omission, and I asked the Holy One to punish him."
This argument can be said to be watertight, because the starting point of Qin Ye's official career is too low. Everyone present knows that Qin Ye was born as a scribe, and it would take a lot of hard work just to be appointed as a doctor, and he was delayed for a long time before becoming a doctor.
After a short time, I finally reached the position of doctor, but due to my background, I was delayed because there was no suitable vacancy in the official department.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs must first look for officials who came from the imperial examination to fill the vacancies.
To put it bluntly, I have reached the career ceiling.
Emperor Chongping looked indifferent and said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of Industry is different from other ministries and does not need to limit the correct path for the imperial examination. Kuang Kejia was born like Pan Lu and two others. He did not necessarily remember the teachings of the saints and uphold his integrity. Instead, he was corrupt and despicable.
How can I judge the wise and the foolish, the noble and the humble based on their background in the imperial examination?"
Han Huang frowned, his face changed slightly, and he didn't quite agree with this "discriminatory" statement.
All the officials in the palace who came from the imperial examination looked equally unhappy.
If there is no distinction between purity and purity, and there is nothing noble about the imperial examination background, then why do they come here after studying so hard?
I sincerely disagree with this statement!
However, since all of them were high-ranking officials of the third rank and had great qi-nurturing skills, and there were no scientific attendants accompanying them, Emperor Chongping's words did not arouse any remonstrances.
This was not about recommending officials or ministers of the Second Ministry of War. At that time, there would be officials and ministers standing in the east and west, one recommendation, one correction, and finally a list of four or five people, which was handed over to Emperor Chongping for his use.
Today's court push is the result of the prior struggle between the Qi and Zhejiang parties.
Yang Guochang looked gloomy and went out to announce: "Your Majesty, I heard that this Qin Ye is the father-in-law of the Minister of Military Aircraft Jia Heng. He is the presiding judge of a case involving the Ministry of Industry. He is suspected of being a melon. I ask your Majesty to think again."
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials who had no idea what was going on were slightly surprised and secretly thought that there was such a relationship.
Could it be... that Jia Ziyu was responsible for the relationship between these two people?
Yes, Jia Ziyu interceded for Zhao Shangshu earlier. Wasn't this a deal?
Many officials had previously been recommended in this way, so they would naturally think so.
At this time, Liu Yuzhong, who was offering wine to the Imperial Academy, said in a supportive voice: "The lower officials also heard that Qin Ye is the minister of military aircraft and the father-in-law of Jia Heng, the deputy envoy of the Jingying Festival. Jia Ziyu is the presiding judge of the Gongling case, and Gongling one
In this case, both ministers were severely punished by the Holy Emperor, and the principles were clearly established. I thought it was puzzling that Jia Ziyu’s father-in-law was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.”
Because in the Hanyuan Palace, Jia Heng wrote the "Pinglu Ce" and argued with people in the Qi party, so the people in the Qi party were naturally aware of some of Jia Heng's family situations.
When the ministers in the palace heard this, they whispered to each other for a while, and not only showed suspicion on their faces.
Confusing?
This means that there is a hidden secret. Of course, there are some conspiracy theories in this kind of speculation without any evidence, but it is precisely this kind of misleading rhetoric that is the most arousing to people's imagination, because you can judge others by yourself.
Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, looked indifferent and retorted: "If the official remembers it correctly, who is Liu Yu, the Imperial College sacrificial wine recommended by Mr. Yang Ge, Liu Yu, or from Linyi? For example, when it comes to melon fields and plum trees, Mr. Yang Ge does his duty. As for Mr. Liu, what?
When did you become an official or censor?"
Yang Guochang's face changed slightly, his heart sank, and a cold feeling surged in his heart. When Zhao Yi was in the cabinet, he took great care of him. Now that he has been removed from his position as a cabinet member, he can't do anything, but instead seeks others, and he still harbors resentment.
, completely without the demeanor of a minister.
However, Yang Guochang did not know what Zhao Yi was thinking. Firstly, the chief assistant of the cabinet should be responsible for the Gongling case, but he was kicked out of the cabinet. Secondly, the Gongling case was also intervened by the Ministry of Household Affairs, such as the right hand of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The minister Liang Yuan is also involved in the case and is currently being arrested by the Jinyi Mansion and sent to the capital. Why is Yang Guochang able to survive alone?
In the side room, Liu Yuzhong, the imperial concubine who was assisting in offering wine, had an ugly face and was as frozen as ice.
Yang Guochang said in a deep voice: "I am a public-spirited person and cannot bear to see the state's public weapons being given to and received privately by others, and become things that repay kindness in return. I ask the Holy Spirit to give you a clear warning."
This statement was directed at Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, because Jia Heng was "reciprocating a favor" by helping him speak the day before yesterday, and regarded the state's public instruments as a tool to express favors. This accusation is not unserious.
Zhao Yi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang Ge, if you remember correctly, the Minister of Household Affairs, Liang Yuantong, was involved in the case. There were corrupt officials under Mr. Yang Ge. He didn't know that he was self-inspecting the headquarters and still recommending officials? Who in the civil and military affairs of Kuang Manchu Dynasty didn't know this?
, Mr. Yang Ge and Jia Ziyu had a long-standing grudge. Mr. Yang accused his subordinate of giving and receiving things privately, and his official also suspected that Mr. Yang had abandoned his official position for personal reasons! Now, regardless of his character and qualifications, Qin Ye is the right choice for Yang Ge.
Why do you obstruct me in every possible way?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone felt that it was both satisfying and thrilling, because this was a former cabinet minister attacking the prestige of the chief minister of the cabinet in front of the emperor.
Without him, we would never see such a head-on confrontation between senior officials.
Emperor Chongping frowned, his face was not good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "When you promote virtuous people, you don't avoid relatives, and when you promote virtuous people, you don't avoid enemies. Since you are promoting virtuous people for the country, you should have a public heart. You should not criticize people's hearts and make rash remarks.
dispute!"
This is because after repeated attacks in the past, Yang Guochang's prestige is gradually not enough to suppress his colleagues.
Seeing that the two of them were at war with each other, Han Huang smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang Ge, now Jia Ziyu is not in the court to discuss personnel transfers, and there is no such thing as any suspicion. Besides, Mr. Yang Ge."
Such speculations and speculations are baseless, and it is unbecoming to argue in front of the emperor now."
This is the undercover test that Yang Guochang is unbecoming, how can he still act like the first assistant?
Han Huang said, without waiting for Yang Guochang to say anything, he bowed and cupped his hands to Emperor Chongping and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Ministry of Industry has undergone a major change, and at least it is necessary to find an official who is familiar with the affairs of the Ministry to be transferred. Qin Ye was previously hindered by Kejia.
He was born in a low-level official and was unable to be used for many years. However, in the past thirty years, Qin Ye people lived up to his name and worked diligently and conscientiously in his work. He was magnanimous and magnanimous and magnanimous. He always selected talents according to their talents and hired them without sticking to one standard.
I think Qin Ye can be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and I also ask the Holy Master not to accept Qin Ye's background."
At this time, Qin Ye's promotion to the ministry was almost done. It was better to go with the flow and sell Jia Ziyu a favor and let his father-in-law Qin Ye take over the Ministry of Industry. Anyway, the emperor's intention was not above the Qi and Zhejiang parties.
As for the matter of family background in the imperial examination, it is important or not. For example, there are many supervisors, and there are also high officials in the border areas, although there are few but not none.
As soon as Han Huangjin's words came out, Zhao Mo, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, his eyes flashed, and he also held an ivory wat tablet and said: "My minister, I also thought that the Ministry of Industry should choose an old official to help manage the affairs of the ministry. Qin Ye has been an official for decades.
, is diligent and thrifty, and never neglects the affairs of the Ministry. I think there is nothing wrong with Qin Ye taking over the affairs of the Ministry of Industry."
The approval of the two cabinet ministers, coupled with the approval of the two previous ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the General Constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, suddenly formed a powerful and irresistible trend.
What the people want, what everyone hopes for!
Shi Jie, the Minister of War, was dumbfounded at this moment. He almost thought that Jia Heng had found another Zhejiang Party member to promote his father-in-law. In a flash of thought, he decided to remain silent.
Now, it is better not to speak up than to speak up, otherwise it is inevitable that people will speculate that they are in collusion with each other as they are both in the military and in charge of the Privy Council.
Under the attention of all the ministers, Emperor Chongping seemed to think about it for a while, and suddenly said: "What Han Qing said is reasonable. He immediately moved Qin Ye to be the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, sitting in the Yamen to oversee affairs and support the ministry."
As he is older, he can become an official within a few years of serving, and it will not affect the situation of the court. In addition, he is not a group or a party, which can help Zhao Yi achieve a check and balance effect. Otherwise, if the court pushes back and forth, it will be Qi and Zhejiang as far as the eye can see.
party.
As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers in the palace had complicated thoughts. For example, the people in the Zhejiang Party and the Minister of Taichang Temple were feeling depressed. Prime Minister Han had promised well before, but just now he remained silent and instead blamed an old official.
As all the ministers obeyed the order, one of the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry was appointed.
But some people couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. Some people lamented that this was Jia Junji's holy family, while others speculated that there might be other considerations of the Sacred Heart.
At this time, Zhang Zhi, the censor of the left deputy capital, held a jade wat in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry is still vacant. The Ministry of Works needs someone to act as an agent to take charge of the ministry. I would like to ask your Majesty to decide on the candidate."
Qin Ye is now the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the left minister of the Ministry of Industry is still vacant. I don’t know who should take up the post?
It's just that the words of Zhang Zhi, the left deputy censor, were somewhat emotional, because the candidates he recommended earlier were rejected by Emperor Chongping one after another.
Others also became excited.
Emperor Chongping said solemnly: "When selecting officials, it is better to be short-term than indiscriminate. Today there are no suitable candidates in the court, so we might as well wait for talented people. Besides, Zhao Qing returns to the Ministry of Directors and is responsible for the affairs of the headquarters. The Ministry of Industry should be able to take care of their own affairs."
Among the six departments of the Han Dynasty, under the Shangshu, there are left and right ministers, whose ranks are all the same as the third rank, but the left is superior and the right is inferior, and they are divided into internal and external affairs. For example, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites presides over sacrifices and court meetings, while the right minister of the Ministry of Rites presides over the provincial examinations and the canonization of each vassal state.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Han Huang, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, had more complex thoughts after hearing Emperor Chongping's words. As he expected, the Emperor would rather leave his position vacant than give way to the Qi, Zhejiang and Zhejiang parties to place personnel in the Ministry of Works. Such is the Holy Heart.
What a fuss!
After Emperor Chongping finished speaking, his indifferent eyes glanced at the officials below, and finally his eyes rested on the face of Zhao Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and asked: "When Zhao Qing returns to the Ministry of Directors, he will organize the affairs of the ministry with Qin Ye, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and select officials.
Officials are responsible for the work of the Ministry and should not delay the affairs of the Ministry."
Zhao Yi's face was straightened, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I obey your decree."
In a court trial, the Qi and Zhejiang parties, under the will of Emperor Chongping, all came back in vain. Instead, the Ministry of Works only took advantage of Qin Ye, a young man. This matter instantly followed the courtiers who had dismissed the meeting, and turned to the entire god.
It spread throughout the capital and became known to hundreds of officials.
Qin Ye, he was just a doctor in the first division of the Ministry of Industry. How could he reach a high official position if he was not from the first class of science?
Not to mention the officials in charge of the temple in the capital, let’s talk about the officials from the provinces, vassal departments, and the six ministries in Nanjing. There are also many people with good qualifications. It’s not Qin Ye’s turn, right?
…
…
Wuying Hall, Military Aircraft Department
Jia Heng was sitting behind a mahogany desk behind the military aircraft office, flipping through a pile of military memorials sent from various provinces. In fact, half of his mind was in the direction of Hanyuan Hall.
Today, the court recommends the Sixth Minister of Military Affairs. He is the Minister of Military Aircraft, but he is not even qualified to attend. This is because he has not been baptized by wars, and the status of the Military Aircraft Department is not high. He has not yet usurped the power of the cabinet, so he is not worthy of his name.
Just as Jia Heng was thinking about it, suddenly, a clerk from outside came in, entered the official hall of the Military Aircraft Department, and said: "Sir, there is an urgent report from the envoy of the North Town of Jinyi Mansion."
Mu Sheng, Shi Shu, Shi Ding and other military pilots who were originally copying the document were stunned when they heard this. They stopped writing with the brush in their hands and raised their eyes to look at the young man in the python suit.
curious.
Jia Heng took the sealed brocade box, took out the key, opened the brocade box, took out a book, put it in his hand and read it, his eyes were condensed, there was not much expression on his face, he stood up and left the long desk
.
"Ziyu, what happened?" Shi Ding asked with a frown.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "This is a letter from Mr. Li Ge. Tang Kuan, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, has arrested Mr. Li Ge and sent it to the capital. As for Jinyi Mansion, the guards will escort him along the way. Fei Ge has sent the letter here. I will
Go to the inner study to report to Your Majesty."
The arrest of the commander-in-chief of Jizhen was a major event, because it meant one thing: the decline of the Qi Party was inevitable, and Yang Guochang's position was on the verge of collapse.
Li Zan arrived in Peiping not long ago, accompanied by his son Li Yi and Zou Jing, the right minister of the Ministry of War. He was greeted by officials of all sizes in Peiping. When he arrived at the Marshal's Office, he was present in front of the Peking Capital Commander, the Peking Prefecture Yin and others.
In the face of the officials, he ordered the accompanying imperial guards to capture Tang Kuan, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, on the spot, and temporarily confiscated the military power of Wu Yao, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan.
As for mutiny, don't even think about it.
First, the Han Dynasty's control over Ji Zhen and the Beiping Prefecture, through the transportation of money and food, and the appointment and dismissal of officials to a very high level. Second, when Tang Kuan went to meet Li Zan, he was somewhat surprised that Li Zan captured him on the spot.
Thirdly, the original cadres from the Chu Party cooperated with it. This is the foundation accumulated by Li Zan for many years as the Minister of the Ministry of War in mastering the promotion of generals. Fourthly, the Jinyi Mansion assisted.
"It's just that Captain Qiu has made some meritorious deeds." Jia Heng thought, a little amused, and then without further delay, he went to the Daming Palace to find Emperor Chongping.
