Chapter 1642 cronyism(1/2)

It is naturally no secret in the court that Yang Shangying was able to replace Lu Tong, who had made great achievements in the past, as the general of Zhejiang Zhi.

But obedience and greed are often two things that follow. Although Yang Shangying is loyal to those who promote him, people who often have selfish desires by holding on to the top.

This is also true. Yang Shangying obtained the position of General General of Zhejiang but did not want to be loyal to the country. Instead, he extended a greedy hand to the military pay, which was exposed by the local censor.

In theory, Yang Shangying paid the price of being dismissed by the court, and the cabinet also agreed to the Ministry of War's handling plan, so the matter has come to an end.

But Lin Suanzi was born, which brought new changes to things.

Lin Qingran took advantage of Yang Shangying's greed and implicitly pointed at Zhao Bingran, the governor of Zhejiang and governor of Zhejiang, in fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to take the position of governor of Zhejiang.

The officials present could climb to this position, and naturally they were smart people. Even if they saw through Lin Junran's real intention, they had to serve the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites's skill in planning.

Even Xu Jie, who was sitting quietly, raised his head and looked at Lin Qiran deeply after guessing Lin Qiran's intention.

Although he was very unwilling to give up, he had to admit that this junior had a terrifying strategy. If the other party was not too young, he would have been worried that his chief minister would have been snatched by the other party.

No one thinks that Lin Xuran wants to remove Zhao Bingran from his post as governor of Zhejiang.

If Yang Bo had not insisted on suppressing Hu Zongxian's remnants and replaced Lu Tong with Yang Shangying, who was not very successful and greedy, it would have not given Lin Qingran an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Although Zhao Bingran did not act greedy for ink, Yang Shangying was unaware of the military pay. I thought he should indeed remove his position as governor of Zhejiang to focus on military affairs!" Ma Sen, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue sitting next to Lin Qingran, sat next to Lin Qingran, Ma Sen, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Response channel.

Qian Bangyan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, was from Suzhou Prefecture, but he followed him and said: "I agree with the views of Minister Lin and Minister Ma. Zhao Bingran should be removed from his post as governor of Zhejiang and choose another fair official to serve as a member!"

The three powerful ministers spoke together, just asking Zhao Bingran to hand over the title of governor of Zhejiang, which was an imperative thing. After all, any of them was far more than Zhao Bingran, and they took it out.

The reason is very sufficient.

Yang Bo's face was gloomy. He was angry at Lin Shiran and was angry at Lin Shiran's attempt to seek the governor of Zhejiang. He was even more dissatisfied with Lin Shiran's aggressiveness and immediately pointed the finger at Lin Shiran and said, "Mr. Lin, you really beat him up."

A wishful thinking! You are so in a party and invading the differences, then do you want to recommend your fellow villager Zhang Wei? I see that you are clearly going to cause trouble in the government!”

The government is in chaos, and the tone of these four words is very high, which makes the atmosphere in the hall immediately condense.

Although it has long been a fact that various factions have supported the cliques, it is obvious that they will break up with Lin Junran directly. In particular, the accusation of "disaster chaos in the government" has to make a grudge with others.

Lin Weiran held his fists in his sleeve. Although he had known that Yang Bo was arrogant, he did not expect that the other party would reach this level, so he planned to argue with Yang Bo.

It was at this moment that what was unexpected was that Lei Li suddenly said, "Shangshu Yang, when you just recommended your fellow townsman and in-law Wang Chonggu as the governor of Ningxia, why didn't you say that you were in trouble with the government?"

Bang!

This was like a loud ear, and it was heavily slapped on Yang Bo's face.

If we talk about the party’s confrontation and nepotism, Yang Bo can be said to be the first person in the dynasty. The Wang Chonggu he just recommended was not only a fellow villager in Puzhou, Shanxi, but Wang Chonggu’s daughter married Yang Junqing, Yang Bo’s second son, and was resolutely a relative of a couple.

Because Yang Bo's status was transcendent and Wang Chonggu was considered to have sufficient qualifications and status, so no one planned to break this relationship. However, Yang Bo only allowed the state officials to set fire and did not allow the people to light the lamp, accusing Lin Qingran of being nepotist, but he did not know that he was ruthless by Lei Li, the Minister of Works.

He ruthlessly led the army.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became silent, and the officials held their breath and observed the development of the situation.

After Yan Song's fall, Lei Li, the Minister of Works, suffered the most experienced Minister of Works, thanks to his achievements in rebuilding the three halls and his ability in supervising the construction project, he was very stable in his position as Minister of Works.

However, in order to avoid Xu Jie's attack, he voluntarily withdrew from the court and wandered in the court like an outsider. His qualifications should be the first seat in Japan today, but they were snatched away by Yang Bo.

At that time, he chose to sit behind Yang Bo with tolerance.

But no one expected that Lei Li suddenly spoke at this juncture, pointing directly at the arrogant Minister of War Yang Bo. He just didn't know whether he wanted to intervene in the party struggle or just couldn't stand Yang Bo's arrogance, so he borrowed the

Taking this opportunity to disgust Yang Bo.

Xu Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, but he looked up at Lei Li, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes.

Yuan Wei sat quietly beside Xu Jie. At this time, he also put down the teacup in his hand and raised his head to look at Lei Li.

Yang Bo turned his head in surprise and looked at Lei Li next to him, and then argued sternly: "Lei Shangshu, what do you mean? Wang Chonggu's qualifications and ability are enough to be the governor of Ningxia. This time, I am not evading relatives.

The country will be praised for its wise!"

"If Wang Chonggu was really a talented person, he would not have been admitted to the middle and lower examinations in the capital in the past and were released from the capital!" Lei Li did not stop and immediately questioned.

Yang Bo's face was as deep as water, so he would not be afraid that the Minister of Works, who lived with his tail, asked tit-for-tat: "Shistor Lei, if you really want to get back the old accounts from decades ago, then I'll ask you:

In the past, you were just a small local magistrate, but I don’t know why you were able to be appointed as the Minister of the Shang Dynasty?”

Lei Li was a Jinshi in the 11th year of Jiajing, ranking 208th. He was first appointed as the Promoter of Xinghua Prefecture. Because he was able to hold the thighs of Yan Song, a fellow villager in Jiangxi, he was able to return to the Ministry of Personnel and then become a job.

The high position of the Minister of the Ministry.

When the officials heard Yang Bo shake out this past event, they couldn't help but stare at each other and thought to themselves: This Yang Weiyue is really arrogant, and he actually exposed the scars like this.

In fact, Yang Bo's words were unfair. Lei Li used to embrace Yan Song's thigh, but he and Wu Zongxian were all talented people. After Yan Song fell, Lei Li could still hold a firm position as the Minister of Works, which shows that

He is not an opportunistic official.

Lei Li was very jealous of this, his face looked very ugly, and he immediately argued.

It was at this moment that Xu Jie, who was sitting on his head, stopped in a deep voice: "Okay, you both stop!"

Hearing Xu Jie's voice, Yang Bo and Lei Li looked at Xu Jie one after another.

Although Xu Jie's current status and reputation are not as good as Yan Song's back then, they are enough to shock the two of them.

When the officials saw Xu Jie speak out, they knew that the excitement was about to end, so they looked at Xu Jie one after another.

Lin Xuran found that Yang Bo looked at him maliciously, but his eyes did not dodge, but calmly faced the other party. Yang Bo was favored, but this was based on the Ming Dynasty's choice of defensive military strategy, his golden body

Not unbreakable.

Xu Jie is not an unfair image of a good old man. At this time, he also raised the majesty of the chief minister and said in a deep voice: "There are no man-made disasters and chaos in the government, no one is in the position of a person, and no one is in a wrong position. Today we gather here, and

We are not coming for a quarrel, but we are going to discuss matters here and choose a good place for the Ming Dynasty to govern!”

"What Lord Yuan Fu said is extremely true!" Lei Li's attitude was correct and bowed respectfully to Xu Jie.

Yang Bo's face was still not good-looking, but he didn't choose to speak, so he naturally could not oppose Xu Jie. His power was mainly in the Ministry of War, and in the current court, there were still many places to rely on Xu Jie.

Xu Jie saw the reactions of the two, then looked at everyone making a decision and said, "If everyone has no opinions, then just as Minister Lin said, remove Zhao Bingran from his post as governor of Zhejiang!"

Zhao Bingran is Guo Pu's person, and now he has a close relationship with Yang Bo, and everyone's eyes are looking at Yang Bo. However, Yang Bo has just gotten tired of eating, and the other party's reasons have made him have to be cold.

relatively.

Yan Ne, Li Chunfang and others exchanged glances, and they also expressed their agreement.

When Xu Jie saw everyone's reaction, he made a quick decision and said, "Then what Minister Lin said, remove Zhao Bingran from his post as the governor of Zhejiang and appoint another governor of Zhejiang!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Lin Xuran, and this matter was really done for him.

Xu Jie naturally would not take a small Zhejiang governor to heart, turned his head and looked at Lin Qiran and asked directly: "Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have a candidate for recommendation?"

Everyone looked at Lin Weiran, but they didn't know if Lin Weiran would avoid suspicion.

"Since Yang Shangshu said that he would not avoid relatives when he was elected, then the subordinates recommended Zhang Wei, the right assistant of Tongzhengsi, to take on this position!" Lin Xuran looked at Yang Bo and recommended him.

Although he wanted to arrange more aggressive officials to serve as governors of the Nine Borders, stability and prosperity in the southeast were equally important. As long as he defended the achievements of the sea opening in the southeast, he could safeguard the finances of the Ming Dynasty and thus have the capital to conquer Altan.

When everyone heard that it was Zhang Wei, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

Just now, they were wondering why Zhang Wei "escaped at the last moment". It turns out that they had already made plans. If they had not "escaped at the last moment", they would temporarily lose the qualification to run for election, thus giving others the first step.

Xu Jie was also a cheerful person and said to Wu Shan lightly: "Shangshu Wu, then I will promote the governor of Zhejiang again!"

Now that the staff are all here, they can directly promote the court, which will undoubtedly reduce a lot of trouble.

"Mr. Yuan Fu, according to the rules of delaying the promotion, at least two candidate officials must be allowed to vote!" Wu Shan, the Minister of Personnel, frowned, and seemed serious.

When the officials heard this, they nodded.

Xu Jie sighed lightly, but made a decision and said, "Then let the censor Xu Xu participate in this candidate!"

Hearing these words, many people immediately became excited. However, they didn't know whether Xu Jie wanted to compete for the governor of Zhejiang or just let Xu Jie accompany him to push him.

manner.

Although the Ming Dynasty had the North and South Books, the scholars from the North and the North were able to successfully enter the government. However, in terms of quantity and quality, the scholars from the South were already better than those from the Northern School, and this differentiation was gradually reflected in the officials of the court.

.

The two cabinet positions, six ministers and twelve ministers, except for the Minister of War Yang Bo, are almost all officials from the south. The reason why Gao Gong was able to go to Prince Yu's Mansion to give lectures was that Jiajing planned ahead and deliberately supported a northern native.

the official.

The strong south and weak north are particularly obvious in court recommendations.

As the leader of Qingliu, Wu Shan represented the future of the Ming Dynasty, but quietly influenced the officials present.

When Xu Jie did not have any further hints, many officials did not vote for Xu Du, which led to Xu Du getting two votes again, and the real runner-up staff.

The second court push ended, and this meeting was probably about to kick off.

Xu Jie wrote a memorial on the spot and asked a palace servant to give the result of the court to Jiajing for approval.

Although the court is the resolution of the minister, it also requires the emperor's consent, and the emperor has the right to reject it or select one from several lists, which still has great influence.

If you meet a wise emperor, the result of the court is often the end, but if you are a stubborn emperor like Jiajing, there may be variables in many cases.

However, Jiajing's energy was limited after all, and he used a typical strategy of catching the big and letting go of the small, and was mainly responsible for the personnel rights of the cabinet and several important officials of the Shangshu. However, the local governor was willing to hand over the personnel rights of the officials.

Tingtui.
