The first assistant was Wen Anzhi, a bachelor of Jianji Palace, and the second assistant was Wang Zhiren, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Shaotian's reign, Tokyo was abuzz with excitement.
The cabinet collectively released it.
One after another, new cabinet grandmaesters were proclaimed.
Zhu Dadian, the great scholar of Wuyingdian, Yan Wogong, the great scholar of Wenyuange, Wu Yi, the great scholar of Wenzhaoge, and Ruan Dacheng, the great scholar of Dongge.
The six cabinet co-organizers are Xiong Rulin, Du Yinxi, Qu Shichu, Shen Tingyang, Yang Tinglin, and Zhang Mingzhen.
The new cabinet has six senior bachelors and six cabinet co-sponsored bachelors. The list is somewhat unexpected.
There are so many unexpected names in the cabinet.
If Wen Anzhi was appointed as the first assistant, which was widely expected, then it was extremely surprising that Wang Zhiren, the governor of Beijing Camp, was appointed as the second assistant.
It is unimaginable that a military general enters the cabinet and becomes a secondary assistant.
After Wang Zhiren, Zhang Mingzhen entered the cabinet again, and he was also a real military general. It must be said that today, whether in the palace or in the cities outside the palace, all the subjects were really shocked by the emperor's arrangement.
When we arrived at the palace gate at the back to announce that Ruan Dacheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, had entered the pavilion to pay homage to the Prime Minister and the Grand Bachelor of Jiadong Pavilion, few people were surprised.
······
"The bad thing is that people like Mao Bijiang are too young after all. In the past few years, they have been successful in their official careers and have become famous in the government and the public. They think they are so great, but they don't think that these are just the emperor's appreciation and intentional promotion. But they
But he must be jumping up and down uncontrollably. Who is Wang Zhiren?
When the emperor raised troops in Taizhou, he relied on the troops of Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen.
Moreover, Wang Zhiren killed some Tatars in Yanzhou, even if he killed more, the emperor had already made it clear that it was not a big deal. They insisted on keeping an eye on him, and even wanted to remove Wang Zhiren from power, which was absolutely unacceptable.
We should consider returning the power of the imperial army to the cabinet and the Ministry of War. Isn’t this looking for death?”
In the Anhui Guild Hall, two fellow villagers were drinking tea and chatting.
They are all Ruan Dacheng's fellow Tongcheng fellows. One is Zuo Guangxian, who served as the censor of Jiangxi Province. He is the younger brother of Zuo Guangdou, the former leader of Donglin. In the late Ming Dynasty, he was an official on patrol in Zhejiang. During the Hongguang Dynasty, he suppressed the rebellion in Xudu.
He was promoted to governor of Zhejiang, Zeng Shu corrected Ma Shiying, Nanjing was destroyed, and he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. Zhu Yihai supervised the country and was summoned to the court to supervise the censor.
The other was He Rushen, the elder brother of He Ruchong, a bachelor of Wuyingdian in the Chongzhen Dynasty. He was also from Tongcheng. He was a Jinshi in the same subject as his brother. Later, he served as the envoy to the right of Zhejiang. Seeing that the court was dark, he returned home sick. Although
The brothers were all high-ranking officials, but they were honest officials. Zhu Yihai was conscripted into the court and served as an official servant and a young minister.
The two of them came to the guild hall to visit their fellow villagers today, and when they were greeted by the imperial court, they couldn't help but talk about it.
They are also Donglin. Regarding the current major event of changing cabinets, they feel that it was caused by Mao Bijiang and his friends' radical behavior, especially their insistence on attacking Wang Zhiren, which triggered the emperor's backlash.
If it hadn't been for them, they probably wouldn't have changed the cabinet, and it would be even less possible for Wang Zhiren to join the cabinet, and it would be impossible for Xiang Ruan Dacheng to join the cabinet.
In fact, in the past few years, under the emperor's repeated warnings, everyone, whether Donglin, Eunuch or others, has been more pragmatic, temporarily putting aside their sectarian opinions and working together sincerely.
Even if old Donglin people like Zuo Guangxian, He Rushen and others still have factional differences in their hearts, they rarely put party struggle first in everything as they did in the early years.
At that time, Zuo Guangdou, Zuo Guangxian's brother, impeached the eunuchs for moving to the palace. Wei Zhongxian created Wang Wenyan's case and sent Zuo Guangdou to prison, falsely accusing him of being bribed by Xiong Tingbi and Yang Hao. In the end, both Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian were killed.
In death prison.
After his death, he pursued the stolen goods and arrested 14 relatives. His brother Zuo Guangji was implicated in his death. It was not until Wei Zhongxian was executed that Zuo Guangdou was posthumously awarded the title of Yushi of Youdu and his son.
For Zuo Guangxian and others, they experienced such fierce party struggles that they could not do without fighting. However, in recent years, Emperor Shengming and although there are factions in the court, at least there are not such fierce party struggles, and they have not been accidentally included.
Imprisonment or even death and annihilation of the whole family. If you don't do it, everyone will be in danger.
Everyone can feel free to do things and save the country and rejuvenate it.
But they insist on starting another party struggle and putting people to death despite the risk of Pijiang. Isn't this stupid and childish?
"To be honest, the atmosphere in the court has been quite good these past few years. We used to fight to the death with Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and the others, but haven't we lived in harmony these past few years? I really don't understand why these people insist on fighting.
."
Zuo Guangxian sighed, "I don't think they are stupid, just bad. Although Mao Pijiang and the others are young, they are not the best. Their reputation has risen so fast in the past few years, so they are probably not satisfied with being just officials.
Although the palm seals are all in the third rank, they definitely want to take another step forward.
He just wanted to gain more fame for himself by impeaching Wang Zhiren. If he could impeach Wang Zhiren, what kind of reputation would he have among scholars?
It is estimated that he will not stop even if Wang Zhiren is defeated. They will impeach other generals and even ask the emperor to hand over the power of the imperial camp. By then, with their prestige, it will not be difficult for these people to take advantage of the opportunity to win the position of minister.
At that time, he may be promoted to governor, or he may be promoted to minister, and within ten years, he will be able to join the cabinet. It is indeed a good idea."
This method is basically the usual method used in the Donglin party struggle in the past.
If you win the impeachment, you will gain both fame and fortune. If you don't win the impeachment, you will still gain fame and reputation. Come back next time.
How many people even cheat the imperial staff for the sake of fame? This is not just an itch, it is the fastest way to gain political fame and gain political capital.
In the past, many officials did not think about how to do practical things to earn political achievements and get promoted, but they thought about getting into office through impeachment, remonstrance and other methods.
Today's Emperor Shaotian is obviously not Tianqi, Chongzhen, or Wanli, but they still do this.
The current results have proven them to be terribly wrong.
······
On the palace.
Still going on.
All twelve members of the new cabinet team were summoned to the hall one by one.
Grant a seal, add an official, and bestow a title.
The emperor gave each of the six grand masters in the palace the rank of first-grade Sanshi, each with a palace title, and the third one was given the title of three masters of the East Palace. For example, the first assistant was the young master plus the prince's grand master, and the second assistant was the young master plus the prince's grand master, etc.
The cabinet co-organized bachelor's degree is also from the first rank, and the palace protection title is the third young master of Katong Palace, such as the prince's young master, etc.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Each will be awarded a title.
The grand masters of the Imperial Palace are awarded lifelong county dukes, and the co-organizers are awarded lifelong county marquises.
Wen Anzhi, Wang Zhiren, and Zhang Mingzhen all had other great achievements and were granted hereditary dukes, so they were granted additional fiefdoms.
The six grand masters of the Grand Palace were also given the robes of sitting pythons, and the six co-sponsored masters were given the robes of the walking pythons.
Under the leadership of Wen Anzhi, the twelve new cabinet bachelors knelt down and took an oath to the emperor collectively and formally took office.
When the ministers in the palace looked at this scene, they all felt deeply in their hearts.
But today no one stood in the way or opposed it.
Although Zhu Yihai was only thirty years old, he was only a general who controlled the country a few years ago. Later, he succeeded King Lu and went south in exile. However, it only took him more than three years to stabilize the situation and even revive the Ming Dynasty.
Its authority can even be said to have reached the height of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di in the past three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. These are the royal powers created by the emperor alone.
With such achievements, the emperor naturally held true to his word and had real power.
Everyone has even become accustomed to the emperor's autocratic dictatorship.
Members of the old cabinet also began to be transferred to other places for appointment.
The former First Assistant to the Song Dynasty was awarded the title of Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and Governor of Yunnan. The first Assistant Qi Biaojia was awarded the title of Governor and Governor of Sichuan. Zhang Guowei, the former bachelor of Wuyingdian, was awarded the title of Governor of Liangliao and Governor of Liaodong.
Chen Hanhui, a bachelor of Wenyuange, was awarded the title of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and governor of Guangxi, Ke Xiaqing, a bachelor of Wenzhaoge, was awarded the governor of Huguang and governor of Hunan, and Yu Ying, a bachelor of Dongge, was awarded the governor and governor of Jiangxi.
Co-organizer Chen Qianfu was awarded the title of Governor of Henan, Yu Dafu was awarded the title of Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu and Governor of Gansu, Shen Chenquan was awarded the Governor of Jiangnan and Governor of Jiangsu, and Huang Daozhou was awarded the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian and Governor of Zhejiang.
The emperor not only changed the entire cabinet, but also basically changed the governors and governors.
That is to say, Huang Zongxi, the governor and governor of Shandong, Zhang Huangyan, the governor of Guangdong, and Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian, have not changed.
The emperor lowered his head and wrote a list with a red pen.
He wrote one, and the chamberlain took it and read it out in the golden palace.
"Ma Shiying, the former governor of Jiangnan and governor of Jiangsu, was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the title of cabinet bachelor.
"Zhang Dai, the former governor and governor of Sichuan, was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the title of cabinet bachelor."
"Sun Jiaji was awarded the title of Governor of Hubei, and Qian Sule was awarded the title of Governor of Anhui..."
"The former governor of Jiangxi, Wan Yuanji, was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Shen Youlong was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Zongzhou was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Gao Doushu was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"Xu Shiqi is the left admonition official, and Jiang Dejing is the right admonition official.
Wang Yongzuo was the censor of the left capital, and Hong Chengchou was the censor of the right capital."
"Shen Wenzhong is the general envoy, and Yu Huang is the minister of Dali Temple."
"Yang Wencong is the governor of rivers, and Liu Kongzhao is the governor of water transportation."
······
Fang Duanshi and Pan Yinglou came in with a group of people and congratulated Zuo Guangxian and He Ru.
"The angel came to announce the decree. You two should hurry up and accept the decree. Congratulations on your promotion."
He Rushen was appointed as the Chief Envoy of Shandong, and Zuo Guangxian was appointed as the Inspector of Fujian.
The two of them were drinking tea and talking about today's big event outside. Who would have expected that they would end up eating melons on their own heads. One of them is the Supervisory Censor of Jiangxi Road, and the other is the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple. Unexpectedly,
During this major adjustment.
If you look at it in detail, they are all promoted.
The person in charge of supervising the censor is not as good as the envoy of a province, and the servant Shaoqing is not as good as the chief envoy of a province.
The two looked at each other, and finally accepted the order amidst everyone's congratulations.
"I must have a good drink today to celebrate the two of you." Pan Yinglou said with a smile.
"sure."
While he was making preparations to go to the guild hall’s cafeteria to get some delicious dishes to celebrate, and even to invite all the Beijing fellows in the guild hall to have a few drinks together, another messenger came to announce the decree.
Pan Yinglou, the deputy envoy of Zhejiang Province, was promoted to the title of Minister of Honglu Temple. This was originally a fourth-rank position, but now he is promoted to the third rank. Compared with the fourth-rank deputy inspector, the rank has been upgraded. After all, he is a Beijing official. Although Honglu Temple
It's not a critical department, so it's not bad.
The official Duanshi of Jinqu's strict inspection department has also been promoted. He was originally promoted from the third rank to the minor governor, but now he is promoted to the rank of Shandong inspector, the third rank, and the chief judicial officer of the first province.
Two Zhejiang officials who were born in Tongcheng even planned to drink two drinks to celebrate the promotion of a fellow villager, but they did not expect that they would also be promoted.
One went to Beijing to be the minister of Honglu Temple, and the other was transferred to Shandong to serve as a nun.
