Zhu Houzhao said the lines according to the script: "Which daughter of the Song family?"
Wang Yuan knelt down straight, holding the wat tablet in his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, I am the daughter of the late Song Ran, the late Youxuan comfort envoy of Guizhou. When I was young, my family was poor. Fortunately, I was favored by the Song family's daughter, who helped me to study. The BMW used to rescue the driver is also the Song family's.
The water given by women is Cima.”
"In the past, my mentor Shou Rengong was demoted to Longchangyi. The Song girls and I studied together in the mountains. We were not only childhood sweethearts, but also classmates."
"The Song family's daughter is very loyal. In order to escape from marriage, she followed Duke Shouren to Jiangxi for thousands of miles, and then came to the capital. The Song family's daughter once swore not to marry anyone who was not a minister. Now she is in her twenties and is still alone."
"The Song family's daughter is very affectionate, and I will never be able to repay it in this life. I am willing to give up the reward and ask Your Majesty to grant the Song family's daughter the status of equal wife."
Zhu Houzhao looked like he suddenly understood, slapped his thigh and said, "I have seen Song Ling'er, and I made her a royal guard. I heard that the Miao people in Guizhou rebelled, and the Song family's daughter also made great contributions. She fought in
He recruited thousands of rebellious people. Erlang fell in love with the daughter of the Song family. This is a legend in the world. How can I be a villain in vain? That's it!"
The monarch and his ministers sang and harmonized, and all the officials were stunned.
At the same time, the Qingliu people also breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Wang Erlang voluntarily gave up the reward.
As for having an affair with the chieftain’s daughter?
Compared with saving the country and protecting the country, compared with Wang Yuan's direct entry into the cabinet, these are trivial matters. All we need to do is to take back Song Ling'er's position as a royal guard when the marriage is granted, and cut off her direct contact with the Shuidong Song family.
Can.
Yang Tinghe secretly glanced at Wang Yuan, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
If Wang Yuan really joins the cabinet, given Yang Tinghe's repeated behavior today, he will be despised and ridiculed by all officials. The civil servants cannot hate the emperor, nor can they hate Wang Yuan as the person involved. They can only transfer their resentment to the chief minister of the cabinet.
Yang Tinghe really had no choice, because he committed the grave crime of confiscating his family and exterminating his clan!
"Wang Yuan listens to the seal!"
Zhu Houzhao was breaking the rules again. He did not say hello to the cabinet, the six departments, and the six ministries. He directly announced the minister's reward in the court: "Wang Yuan was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was promoted to Zhan Shifu of Zhanshifu..."
It was somewhat different from the plan negotiated by the cabinet. It did not grant the false title of Hanlin bachelor. This was very important, because Hanlin bachelors could also join the cabinet, which meant that Wang Yuan was not given any qualifications to join the cabinet.
In addition, the rank of civil servants was not promoted to the second rank, and Wang Yuan's ancestors were not granted posthumous titles. Only Wang Yuan's parents, wives, concubines, and eldest brother were granted titles, not even Wang Yuan's nephews.
However, Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Yuan to directly take charge of Zhan Shifu as the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. This was an exclusive institution for educating the prince. Although it had long been reduced to an empty frame, it still showed Zhu Houzhao's strong attitude.
From now on, Wang Yuan’s official positions and ranks will be as follows——
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites (the third rank), Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu (the third rank), Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy (the fifth rank), Jiayi Dafu (the third rank of the third rank), Zizhi Yin (the third rank of Wenxun).
Wang Yuan said he voluntarily gave up the reward, but how could the court not give him any reward?
Moreover, the reward plan formulated by Zhu Houzhao made many ministers feel as if they had eaten flies.
The cabinet believed that Wang Yuan's contribution was too great, so he directly gave him the position of left minister of the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of War. Zhu Houzhao made Wang Yuan the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, which was equivalent to being demoted to a lower level. Not only could the civil servants not be able to refute, but they also felt that the title seemed too small.
In this way, the criticism that Wang Yuan became Zuo Shilang at a young age was put to rest.
However, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites was also in charge of Zhan Shifu, which was logical and logical, and allowed Wang Yuan to take the position of the prince's first teacher.
The actual reward is not generous, but the symbolic meaning is huge!
Zhu Houzhao ordered with satisfaction: "The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites will draft the award documents and submit them to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Etiquette for review. I want to see the cabinet draft the votes within three days. Can it be done?"
The top leaders of the Li Ke and Li Ke subconsciously looked at Yang Tinghe, but received no response.
Lu Wan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Li Xunxue, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, both came out and said: "I accept the decree."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly said: "He was transferred to Zhang Zilin, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and became the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Nanjing; he was transferred to Peng Ze, the censor of Zuodu, and became the censor of Zuodu, Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate; he was transferred to Chen Ke, the minister of Dali Temple, and the minister of Dali Temple in Nanjing."
As soon as this statement came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and the sensational effect was not inferior to that of Wang Yuan who wanted to join the cabinet.
The emperor actually sent all the chief officials of the Three Law Departments to Nanjing to retire in one day.
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
This time, more than 90% of the civil servants knelt down and begged the emperor to withdraw the order.
Zhu Houzhao asked Yang Tinghe: "Mr. Yang Ge, what do you think?"
Yang Tinghe said bravely: "My lord, I have no objection."
Yang Tinghe had already guessed what was going on. The previously sealed appeal had been handed over to the emperor, but the Central Third Law Department did not know yet that Prince Ning was planning to rebel. Reporting the news of Prince Ning's rebellion must have been suppressed by the officials of the Third Law Department. The Emperor
So angry to the extreme.
Yang Tinghe could only agree to these troop transfers, but he did not dare to speak out.
Once it is revealed and pursued seriously, the entire Yang family can be executed!
The three parties involved, Zhang Zilin, Peng Ze, and Chen Ke, are collectively in a state of confusion at the moment. What about the reward Wang Yuan agreed to reward? It's none of our business, but they were inexplicably thrown to Nanjing for retirement.
Liang Chu said sadly: "Your Majesty, Jiwu (Peng Ze), Yuan Rui (Zhang Zilin), and Xibai (Chen Ke) are all important ministers and have high expectations. There is nothing wrong with the three of them, so why do they want to move to Nanjing together?
Even if His Majesty is arbitrary, he should at least give a reasonable reason!"
Zhang Zilin and Peng Ze were both Yang Tinghe's confidants, while Chen Ke was promoted by Liang Chu.
Zhu Houzhao asked Yang Tinghe again: "Mr. Yang Ge, do you think my arrangement is reasonable?"
Yang Tinghe said bravely: "This matter is reasonable."
"Brother Jiefu, what happened to you today?" Liang Chu was very angry.
Yang Tinghe looked pained: "Uncle Hou, don't ask again."
This matter is too serious, and there are too many officials involved. It is one thing not to punish the public, but another thing to commit rebellion. Zhu Houzhao has enough reasons to pursue it to the end, and even set up a prison to kill several people.
Tens of thousands of people, even if half of them were thrown into Jinyiwei's prison by civil and military officials, there would definitely be some fish that slipped through the net.
Zhu Houzhao added: "I order Li Chongsi, the censor of the right capital, to be the governor of Nanzhili; I am ordering Wei Ying, the censor of the right capital, to be the governor of Huguang. Mr. Yang Ge, do you think this arrangement is reasonable?"
This was the emperor's way of guarding against Prince Ning's rebellion and blocking Prince Ning's attack route.
Yang Tinghe replied like a puppet on strings: "Your Majesty is wise."
Wang Yuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, after the Lantern Festival, I will take leave to return home to marry the daughter of the Song family."
"That's right!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
This was also agreed upon by the monarch and his ministers. The emperor not only had to deal with the chief officials of the Three Laws Department, but also the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Imperial House. If either of these two departments failed to cooperate, the Ning King's guards would not be able to recover.
At the same time, we have to deal with Qian Ning, the Jin Yiwei, because Qian Ning must have colluded with King Ning. There is no need to investigate. King Ning bribed officials all over the capital, but the Jin Yiwei commander turned a blind eye!
In the past, these actions would most likely arouse King Ning's suspicion, leading to King Ning's early rebellion.
Zhu Houzhao sent Li Chongsi to governor Nanzhili, Wei Ying to governor Huguang, and Wang Yangming was in Jiangxi, which was equivalent to blocking Prince Ning. Wang Yuan returned home to marry Song Ling'er, and after paying homage, he secretly went to Huguang, only to wait for Ning.
The king came to die.
Neither Zhu Houzhao nor Wang Yuan thought about sending people to investigate Prince Ning, nor did they think about solving the problem without bloodshed.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to block Prince Ning and then lead the expedition in person. Wang Yuan thought that the investigation was useless and Prince Ning would rebel. How could he be willing to surrender after so many years of preparation?
Zhu Houzhao also said: "Yan Song, the leader of Youtongzheng, has made great achievements and has been promoted to the position of Zuotongzheng."
Is the right-wing government meritorious?
Youtongzheng is just a person who accepts memorials, and he has no power to deal with memorials. What kind of merit does he perform for no reason?
The quick-thinking people have already guessed that there must be a major case. And it must be Yan Song, the right official, who received the sealed complaint from some official and sent it to the emperor, which made Long Yan furious.
Thinking again of the arrangements between Nanzhili and Huguang, as well as Yang Tinghe's obedience, this matter is directed at Jiangxi.
Many officials who had accepted bribes from King Ning turned pale for a moment, that turtle grandson was really going to rebel!
There were many officials who saw through the truth, but no one dared to tell the truth. They only prayed that the emperor would not get to the bottom of it.
Zhu Houzhao said: "This transfer involves many officials and leaves some positions vacant. The Ministry of Personnel will work with other ministries to recommend appointments. Retire from the court!"
Instead of selecting cabinet ministers, all important official positions can be recommended by the court, and depending on the situation, the officials participating in the recommendation are also different. For example, when selecting candidates for the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel can call together officials from the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to make recommendations.
For example, the local governor and the Minister of Civil Affairs can convene officials from the Ministry of War, Military Science, and the Governor's Office to make selections.
Zhu Houzhao left the hall with his head held high, and the civil and military officials all looked at each other, preparing to go back to discuss today's court meeting - the amount of information was too large, and they had to digest it.
