Chapter 845: Emperor Longqing
After being ascended to the throne for a month, Emperor Longqing gave his ministers a bit complicated. He often summoned Qian Yuan, Zhang Juzheng, Chen Yiqin and other old ministers in the palace. He often rewarded him and did not forget his old feelings, and seemed generous and modest.
But on the other hand, Emperor Longqing's attack on the Taoist priests in Xiyuan was shocking. The number of people who died in prison alone exceeded 100. This was a famous scene like the crying sect of hundreds of officials in Jiajing that had never appeared in Jiajing.
Moreover, Emperor Longqing's order to take Li Chunfang as the Minister of Rites also made the cabinet ministers put aside their underestimation. Although the methods seemed a bit rough and deliberate, they were at least average.
"I asked Mr. Li'an yesterday that the Ministry of Revenue has sorted out the canal transportation, but it is really impossible not to build the river." Emperor Longqing sighed, "I wrote a letter to Zhu Heng, the Minister of the Ministry of Works of Nanjing. Could this person take on the important responsibilities?"
Zhu Heng was a Jinshi in the 11th year of Jiajing. Last year, he was transferred from the Minister of Personnel of Nanjing to the Minister of Works of Nanjing.
After all, he was a senior minister of the two capitals and six ministries. Everyone present was not unfamiliar with this name, but they were not very familiar with it. They looked at each other for a few times and their eyes were flashing.
Some people are considering whether Zhu Heng has this ability, while others are thinking about Zhu Heng’s background... There are many memorials written on it, so why does Your Majesty point out this matter and this person?
The only thing that doesn't matter, Lu Ben looked at his colleagues boredly. He and Zhu Heng were the same year. He knew that this Jinshi, the third-tier Jinshi, first released and then entered Beijing, and then released and then entered Beijing. The road he took was extremely bumpy and he really had no background.
It was indeed a bumpy one. It was a magistrate for six years, a magistrate for three years, a magistrate for three years, a magistrate for three years, a magistrate for two years, a deputy envoy for Fujian, a deputy envoy for Sichuan Censorship for four years, and a magistrate for Shandong. It was not until the 38th year of Jiajing that he was transferred to the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel for too deep experience... If there were people behind him, why would this be?
The hall was quiet for a moment, and Emperor Longqing looked at the ministers below in surprise... Why didn't they say anything?
You suddenly came up with such a big topic, and Zhu Heng is a very strange person. What did you ask the old foxes below to think?
They no longer consider Zhu Heng's ability and Beijing, but instead speculate on Emperor Longqing's thoughts... Gao Gong felt strange. The student he had back then was obviously not as harmless as before.
"Someone recommended Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple to me, saying that this person has the ability to manage rivers." Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "I have lived in simplicity over the years and have not had a broad understanding. I also need all the ministers to assist me."
Dali Temple is one of the three judicial departments, the Dali Temple ministers were even one of the nine ministers, but its status was not high in the Ming Dynasty and its power and responsibility were invaded by the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate.
Everyone knew that Yan Maoqing, the minister of Dali Temple, was Yan Song's godson. With the same identity, Zhao Wenhua asked for it again and again, but Yan Maoqing was so shameless... But who is Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple?
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Mo. Regarding his strong knowledge and extensive knowledge, and his transfer of officials, Li Mo, who has served as the Heavenly Office of the Ministry of Personnel for a long time, was the best.
"Pan Jixun, the left Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was a Jinshi in the 29th year of Jiajing. After being released, he returned to Beijing and entered the Censorate. He once inspected Guangdong." Li Mo paused and looked at Gao Gong. "In the 37th year of Jiajing, this person had tried the Junpingli Jia method, the Ten-Stage Brocade Method, and the One-Whip Method in Guangdong. Last year, he was transferred back to Beijing and entered Dali Temple as Shaoqing."
Emperor Longqing leaned on the back of the chair, raised his hand and sipped his tea, and said softly: "I intend to transfer Pan Jixun to the right assistant censor of the Censorate, and connect with the Nanjing Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue to discuss the newly built river channel. What do you think?"
Gao Gong frowned and remembered this person, as if Zhang Ju had mentioned it in front of him.
Xu Jie, who was standing first, had no expression on his face, but he also remembered this person. Pan Jixun and the current Zhejiang inspector Pang Shangpeng are friends. Both of them have tried a whip method... It seems that his son-in-law is very interested in this.
Emperor Longqing's next words confirmed Gao Gong and Xu Jie's speculation, "It was recommended by Uncle Zhang to me, and Duke Li'an also praised Pan Jixun."
Xu Jie remained silent, and then Li Mo jumped out, "Your Majesty, the government's river channel is Fang Zhongmin. In the 27th year of Jiajing, the Prime Minister's Yellow River flooded and made the water transportation smooth."
Li Mo also knew himself, Gao Gong was about to enter the cabinet, and he was already sixty-six this year, so he didn't have much ambitions for power and wanted to show goodwill to Gao Gong.
After making a comeback, although Li Mo changed a lot, his nature was difficult to change and he found it difficult to accept Xu Jie's long-term rule. The key is that Xu Jie is only fifty-seven years old this year... Li Mo had to consider the future, and it is a good idea to learn before Yan Shifan's death.
Gao Gong also knew that this was Li Mo's show of kindness to him. After Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie fell in love, he was already his confidant, and his status was no lower than that of Zhang Siwei, who was the Minister of Personnel Yang Bo, behind him.
So Gao Gong went out to add, "Duke Li'an was also appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and was transferred to the right assistant censor of the Censorate, the Prime Minister of the River, and to control Huangfan."
Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "That's Pan Jishen. In fact, not only Uncle, I asked Suiyuan a few days ago, and Zhancai also praised this person's ability."
As soon as this sentence came out, there was a little turmoil below, a sound of coughing, and a sound of footsteps shifting.
In the 34th year of Jiajing, Qian Yuan first studied Suiyuan, and the following year he won all the Jinshi talents. Two years later, he was already a few political forces in the court and attracted attention for his strong cohesion... After all, he fought so many times.
However, Emperor Longqing's words made Suiyuan, a political force, openly appear in the court, and showed that it had a considerable influence on Emperor Longqing himself... For similar decisions, generally speaking, the emperor would only ask the cabinet ministers and the six ministers.
Although Qian Yuan and Xu Wei also had a high influence on Emperor Jiajing in the past years, it was based on the fact that these two people were based on the emperor's heart, not on the Suiyuan.
Gao Gong held his face and lowered his head. He discussed the canal and the sea transportation with Zhang Juzheng. The two discussed not to trade, but Zhang Juzheng recommended Pan Jixun and had a tacit understanding with Qian Yuan... This made Gao Gong very unhappy.
Zhang Juzheng took the blame again, and although his secret message was praised by Gao Gong that night, it was also flawed... The message was not passed to Gao Gong, but to Qian Yuan.
However, it was really not Qian Yuan who lost the blame for this. It was just a coincidence.
Regarding the management of rivers, Qian Yuan remembered Longqing and during the Wanli period, there was a famous minister named Pan, but he remembered not his name, but only remembered what "storing water to attack sand".
It was not until the day before yesterday that Emperor Longqing mentioned Pan Jixun that Qian Yuan remembered that it was indeed this person, but he had already had sex with Zhang Juzheng.
In fact, in this regard, Qian Yuan admired Zhang Juzheng quite a lot. You should know that Pan Jixun had never dealt with the Ministry of Works and the rivers, and was able to pick Pan Jixun from countless officials. Zhang Juzheng had extraordinary eyesight.
Emperor Longqing looked at the expressions of the people below, with a faint smile on his face. After reading so many memorials, he decided to choose this as his first move, which was naturally considered after a long time.
Although he did not want Yan Song and Xu Jie to appear again in the court, which had a long-term political struggle with the same party and different parties, Emperor Longqing was also very clear that there could not be powerful officials in the court who could cover up the sky.
Long Qing Emperor had considered the relationship between Gao Gong and Suiyuan, and it was something that Emperor Long Qing had decided long ago to promote Suiyuan's political power.
