Chapter 391: Candidates
Chapter 391 Selection
Lian Zining was admired by Zhu Yunyou. He was outstanding in his heroic spirit, outstanding in talent, and upright in character. Such officials were definitely ministers that the emperor liked, because they seemed to have become important officials and pillars of the court in all aspects.
Moreover, Lian Zi would rather take it as his responsibility to recommend talents and recommend talents, and his political reputation is outstanding. This is definitely a more worthy of reusing subject.
However, Zhu Yunyou had to consider some things. Lian Zining was able to emerge early, not only because he was playing in front of Zhu Yunyou, but also because his legitimate daughter was Zhu Yunyou's concubine. This also gave Lian Zining a lot of glory, but because of this identity, he was destined to have some position. Zhu Yunyou would not give Lian Zining.
For example, the position of the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice is OK, but Lian Zining can only move in places like the Censorate and Dali Temple. Zhu Yunyou needed him to become an orphan minister, and even if the little Zhu grew up a little, Lian Zining would have to retire.
The reason is that at that time, we must cultivate the foundation for the prince, and we cannot let the imperial concubine's mother tribe have too much power in the court. Even if Lian Qiongqiong is just giving birth to a daughter for Zhu Yunyou now, the same is true. Even if Lian Qiongqiong gave birth to a prince for Zhu Yunyou, Lian Zining will definitely go to a position that is even more unreusable.
This can be regarded as the emperor's thoughts, and this can be regarded as a kind of power technique, and the court needs balance.
I asked Lian Zining carefully, mainly because of the source of the evidence in Lian Zining's hands. Zhu Yunyou needs to know. No matter what Ren Hengtai's background is, he is the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally there is no sloppy in these matters.
If such a case is to be handled, it is natural to be handled as a tough case. It cannot give people some room for imagination or any ambiguity. Such an important official cannot be wronged.
So once Lian Zining is falsely accusing him, the result is obviously that after Ren Hengtai’s innocence is restored, Lian Zining needs to pay the price for it.
Zhu Yunyou has to pay attention to such a major case, and the court really needs to pay attention to it. Even though based on the current situation, Ren Hengtai has really made many mistakes and the possibility of false accusation is not high, but the case of finalizing the case still needs to be taken seriously.
After Lian Zining left, Zhu Yunyou immediately sent an order, and this time he came naturally to Zhu Yunyou's former companion to study Ru Yu. As the Minister of Personnel, Ru Yu also needs to stand up and share the worries of Emperor Zhu Yunyou at this time.
"Give Ruban a seat." Zhu Yunyou didn't smile on his face, but he still said to Wang Chengen, "We remember that there are still some Wuling tea in the palace, so I can make a pot of tea for my husband."
Ru Wei immediately thanked her, which was an absolute grace. It was not just a gift of tea, but mainly the emperor gave Wuling tea. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the tea from the seven counties of Wuling. This was the existence of tribute tea in the Tang Dynasty.
The most important thing is that His Majesty remembers that Ru Wei is from Huguang, so he specially gave Huguang tea, which of course is grace.
Seeing Ru Yi sitting down, Zhu Yunyou asked, "I know the importance of the Ministry of Justice. Can you take on this important task when you recommend Feng Zhao? "
Ru Wei immediately became the role of Minister of Personnel and replied without hesitation, "I will report to Your Majesty, and I will be honest and honest. I think he can take on this important task. However, the Minister of Justice is highly powerful, and I hope the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice will be the candidate for the Secretary of the State Council."
Zhu Yunyou waved his hand and said with a smile, "You are the Minister of Personnel, and recommending talents is also your duty. You also said that the Ministry of Justice is too important, so we naturally need to ask more questions."
It is indeed necessary to ask more questions. The Ministry of Justice is an institution in charge of national criminal punishments and the review of criminal names. Zhu Yunyou of such an institution needs to pay great attention to it. He must not be careless in the selection of the Minister of Justice. He needs to consider more comprehensively.
However, Zhu Yunyou also had the emperor's "very sickness", mainly because the Minister of Justice was too important. Although Bao Zhao was recommended by Ru Yi, it seems that Ru Yi also fulfilled the responsibilities of a Minister of Personnel.
But Zhu Yunyou will not be careless. What should be investigated should be investigated, and what should be suspected should be suspected. He will never allow a Minister of Personnel to completely control the appointment and removal of officials from the court. He will not allow officials at the Secretary-level to form cliques or have more contacts.
As for the emperor, it is normal to do this. Even if Ru Wei is Zhu Yunyou's confidant, he will still investigate these matters more clearly.
After discussing the matter of Baozhao, Zhu Yunye asked, "Ren Hengtai has disappointed me quite. After this matter, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the court. If you follow along, who should the Ministry of Rites take over? Do you have any idea?"
Ru Wei did not hide his own privately or conceal it. "When he returned to His Majesty, Chen Di, a native of Ningguo Mansion, had ambitions. He once taught the government and served as the official lecturer. He was the left-ranking political officer in Shandong, and later Ding You became the right governor. Previously, Puding, Qujing, Wusa, and Wumeng barbarians incited the chaos, and Di led his soldiers to defeat him."
When Zhu Yunyou heard Ru's recommendation, he couldn't help laughing, thinking that this recommendation was quite good.
Chen Di can be said to be "Yunwen and Wuwu", and is a true scholar recognized by Zhu Yunyou. He can lead the army when he gets on the horse, and can calm the people when he gets off the horse, rather than a corrupt scholar who only knows how to study. This is the wise man who can help the people and the country.
Moreover, this man's grandfather was a meritorious in the throne of Fuzhou and was in charge of the hundred households in Fuzhou. This was a good family. This was definitely a very good background. After all, a hundred households are just middle-level officers. They do not have too many family backgrounds, and they will not have too many unfaithful intentions.
Seeing Zhu Yunyou nodding, Ru Wei continued to recommend, "Huang Guan, Chizhou Prefecture, was the first in the palace examination in the 24th year of Hongwu. She was the first in the palace examination. She served as a compilationist of the Hanlin Academy and was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. She studied diligently since childhood, has a noble character, and is loyal and filial to himself, which is of great use."
When it comes to Huang Guan, Zhu Yunyou also has a deep impression. This person is not only Huiyuan, the top scholar, but also Jieyuan in the provincial examination, which is commonly known as Da Sanyuan. Moreover, this person originally had the surname Xu, and his father was a son-in-law. In the 29th year of Hongwu, he was approved by the court and restored his original surname.
Zhu Yunyou thought about it and shook his head and said, "Huang Guan is quite talented. I remember that he was only twenty-eight when he won the top scorer. Now he is only thirty-seven. He is too young. Besides, he has been an official in Beijing and has never been a close official. If he is a Minister of Rites, it would be inappropriate."
This can be regarded as a thought of Zhu Yunyou. He felt that he should pay attention to this matter.
Speaking of which, we also need to pay attention to these things in the future, because now many talented people are on the list after the list, especially the top three, most of them are admitted to the Hanlin Academy. This noble and noble vocational department is also envied by many people.
It cannot really make the Hanlin Academy a place for the training of the six ministers of the ministers, or in other words, the cabinet ministers must come from the Hanlin Academy in the future.
Because once these people go from Jinshi to Hanlin and then go to the cabinet, they are likely to be mediocre officials. Because most of them have been studying hard for ten years and have been in Hanlin Garden for a long time, and have no practical political experience. Once they enter the cabinet, they are likely to be foolish and unconscious, mediocre, lack the ability to be brave and dare to do things and dare to act.
Furthermore, they have not experienced the local area, did not know the sufferings of the people, and had no experience in governing the prefectures. The result is that only talkative people, one by one, may only know how to form cliques, engage in private affairs, and flatter.
In the future, if you want to enter the cabinet, you must go through the local area and have the experience of being close to the people. Even the Six Ministers cannot be just the "highest" people. These people need to be down-to-earth and have the ability to do practical things.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunyou was still a little relieved. The Ming Dynasty was more than 30 years old, many systems were not yet perfected, and many habits had not been developed. Under such circumstances, Zhu Yunyou had no great resistance to formulate some policies, so that he could do it.
After discussing these matters with Ru Wei, Zhu Yunwei needs to continue to review the memorials.
He still needs to continue to consider the candidates for the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Justice, and there is no need to be too anxious about these matters. Although the Minister of Rites is now in prison and the Minister of Justice is seriously ill, it will not affect the operation of these two departments at least. This is a blessing in disguise, and the court will not stop operating if anyone is missing.
After all, those positions are official positions, and the court is full of talents, and there are people who can replace them at any time. If the court is in chaos, it may be that the emperor suddenly suffers trouble, and there is no crown prince in the court, which may lead to some chaos.
Although the six ministers of the six ministries have high positions and powerful ranks, they are just one radish and one pit. The court did not lack the ministers, or there were no shortage of people who would replace them at any time, so Zhu Yunyou did not need to worry about chaos in the world.
Old Zhu came to Wuying Hall staggeringly, took the memorial reviewed by Zhu Yunyou and read it. As for Zhu Yunyou at this time, he had already obediently let the dragon throne go and let Lao Zhu sit. Zhu Yunyou just asked Wang Chengen to bring a chair to sit next to him.
If it seems like this, although Zhu Yunyou became the emperor, the current situation seems to have not changed much from his time as the Emperor's Crown, which is just a "righteous".
"If you don't have two ministers, you'll be less, it's not a problem." Old Zhu didn't care, and it could be said that he was comforting Zhu Yunyou. "You are different from us. When we were sitting on the dragon throne, many scholars were unwilling to serve us. Sometimes our court lacked talent. You are different, there are many talented people."
Zhu Yunyou laughed and said with confidence, "The emperor's words are reasonable, and the grandson did not take it seriously. In the early years, the emperor's court had been short of the Shangshu for many years. Isn't it okay?! Besides, these scholars are still rushing to the court, and we don't lack people."
When Zhu Yunyou said this, Lao Zhu was naturally more relieved, because what Zhu Yunyou said was indeed some facts.
Let’s continue to review the memorials. The candidates for the Secretary of State only need to be considered. Zhu Yunyou still has many choices. Others are not qualified to help Zhu Yunyou review these memorials.
