Before that, most people thought that this meeting between the emperor and his ministers was just an ordinary meeting. But when it ended, most people found that it was not ordinary, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a landmark event.
So the dispersal does not mean the end, the discussion is still going on, and will continue for a long time. Now everyone has belatedly realized that the pattern of the imperial court in the next five or even ten years has been established.
What's more, some "pessimistic" people began to doubt the ability of Xu Puxu. The previous "Xu Daxu was not interesting when he first came here" has become "Xu Xu Daxian, can he do it?"
The Master of the Hanlin Academy and the Young Master of Zhan Shi's Mansion, Zhan Shi, are one who is the leader of the Hanlin Academy and the other is the leader of Gong Zhan. They are indeed very top-notch officials with unlimited futures.
But both of these are false at present. On the one hand, there is a new cabinet, and there is not much possibility of promotion to Hanlin bachelor in the short term. On the other hand, there is no one in the East Palace, and Zhan Shifu is a purely honorary position. With the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tianguan and Shilu Deputy Compared with the CEO, the affordability is much worse.
In the eyes of others, a simple summary is that Xu Xueshi exchanged two very affordable official jobs for two false jobs that cannot be discounted at present. It is a loss-making deal no matter how you look at it.
In particular, Xie Qian was forced to be elected as Shao Zhanshi. After Fang Qingzhi was promoted to the vice president of Shilu, he became a laughing stock that was not worthy of his reputation. Some good people could not help but ridicule that this was choosing sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
Xu Pu lost all his anger about this. He really lost his temper. Who should he be angry with? So he could only sum up his lessons secretly and wait for the future. Unfortunately, Xie Qian was shrouded in Fang Qingzhi's shadow. It was almost impossible. Turn over again.
It took Fang Qingzhi ten years from the time he was named on the gold list in the 13th year of Chenghua. He finally overtook Xie Qian and gained a decisive lead. The race is now approaching the end. Xie Qian has no hope of overtaking. Opportunity.
When Yu was born, why was Liang born? His ideal was in vain. Xie Qian didn't know who to talk to about his own depression. In fact, some people at the time saw it clearly, and commented to the point, Xie Yuyao couldn't pretend to be cool and couldn't quarrel with Lao Fang. Xiao Fang, so when faced with the father-son team-up, he could only do nothing, and his defeat was not unjust.
Once the cabinet, heavenly officials, and successors are clear, the imperial framework will be basically stable. Then we only need to wait for the gentry who were demoted and sent to the capital during the Chenghua period to return to Beijing one after another to completely correct the chaos.
Prior to this, the first person to return to the capital from other places was Huaien, the former eunuch and eunuch. He came back earlier than any other minister from other places. There are probably two reasons for this. First, Eunuch Huaien returned from Fengyang. Beijing is closer than most people in terms of spatial distance, especially places like Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.
Second, Eunuch Huai'en was sent to Fengyang, where he had almost nothing to do. He could set off immediately after receiving the imperial edict. The other demoted ministers were more or less holding local positions. They had to clear their official duties first, and the rhythm was natural. One beat slower than Father Wynn.
It is said that Eunuch Huai'en's return to Beijing was a big event. It was so big that the emperor personally came out of the palace to greet him, and the importance was evident from this. Even though the courtiers had some discussions about it, they could not stop the emperor's attitude. Zhu Youtang became a ten-year-old man in the palace. In his second year, the prince has been under high pressure from Concubine Wan Gui. What he can survive is the protection of Empress Dowager Zhou and Huai En.
Then Qin Chang, the eunuch in charge of the rites and eunuchs, quickly resigned and went home to take care of his old age. The emperor did not make things difficult for Qin Chang. So Mr. Huai'en returned to his position as the eunuch in charge of the rites and eunuchs. This was no less important than the cabinet.
The courtiers are also very concerned about the change of chief minister.
Then came the changes in the eunuchs of the Si Li Supervisor, led by Huaien. Of course, Concubine Wan Guifei’s gang members had to be completely eliminated from the Si Li Supervisor, while Chen Zhun, Xiao Jing and other Huai En’s cronies were further reused. This also involves
A special person is Wang Zhi, eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who is responsible for the rituals, and Wang Zhi, the admiral of the East Factory.
It stands to reason that Eunuch Wang, as the most famous confidant of Concubine Wan Gui, is definitely the target of being killed decisively at this time. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Liang Fang has been sent to the frontier for hard labor. Eunuch Wang is as famous as Liang Fang, and
How can it be any better? Besides, Huai En is not very fond of Eunuch Wang.
But the emperor was hesitant about how to deal with Wang Zhi. First of all, if he was kind to the emperor in raising him, the Wu family would personally plead for Wang Zhi after the emperor was deposed. This kind of kindness must always be taken into account;
Secondly, it is said that Eunuch Wang had protected the East Palace in the past and did not take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury; thirdly, recently Wang Zhi had made great contributions to expelling Wan An. If Wang Zhi had not discovered those secrets, Wan An would not have been able to do so.
It is precisely because of the above three points that the emperor, who is committed to creating the image of a generous and benevolent emperor, is uncertain. If Wang Zhi is really dealt with, he is afraid that it will attract criticism of ungratefulness.
Fang Yingwu put aside his own affairs and started to worry about the palace. At this time, he urged Wang Zhi: "If you keep cutting off, you will suffer the consequences. I have said before that it is very difficult for you to completely protect yourself. Now there is no imperial concubine."
It’s time for the Empress to protect you, so only one of the Chief Li Jian and the Dongchang can be kept.
Now that the Emperor is still here, you might as well take the initiative to retreat and resign as the Supervisor of Ceremonies or one of the Dongchang. I think the Emperor will stop here and there will be no other severe punishments."
Wang Zhi thought for a long time, and after making up her mind, she raised her head and said: "Tomorrow I will go to Shu to resign as admiral of the East Factory!" Fang Yingwu was slightly surprised by this: "I thought you would be reluctant to abandon the East Factory, but I didn't expect that you would concentrate on staying here.
Supervisor of Ceremonies."
Wang Zhi explained: "The Duke of Dongchang must be a close confidant of the emperor in order to be able to sit firmly. It is impossible for me to meet this condition anyway. Rather than being driven away sooner or later, it is better to give up."
There are so many eunuchs and eunuchs in charge of rituals. I don’t mind if a few of them mess around. I can sit still and keep the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood. Besides, Wynn is already old. How many years can he live? Wait for him.
As soon as I go, I will have another chance in the Department of Ceremonies!"
Fang Yingwu nodded in agreement: "That makes sense!"
A few days later, the edict came from the palace. Wang Zhi stopped supervising the errands of the East Factory, and Chen Zhun, the eunuch who was the eunuch of the rites, Bingbi, also served as the eunuch of the East Factory. However, Wang Zhi still retained the position of eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the rites.
But the ranking has dropped to the bottom, below Chen Zhun, Xiao Jing, and He Wending.
The extremely sensitive Admiral Dongchang had his own name, and the courtiers who were extremely concerned about the developments in the palace learned about this imperial edict and knew that the emperor's integration of the palace was basically completed.
What made everyone sigh was that Wang Zhi actually survived. This was unscientific. According to experience, a domineering and domineering person who succeeds at a young age can only dominate for a while and is unlikely to have a happy ending. However, Wang Zhi broke this rule.
Convention.
From the time when a storm swept through the temple in the 13th year of Chenghua, to the day when I can still sit peacefully as the Supervisor of Ceremonies (although it seems that I have been emptied out), it is simply a legend. Not to mention someone who once stood on the opposite side of Jinshang.
It is incredible that the former spy chief was able to preserve himself after the change of dynasties. It is enough to be regarded as an anecdote during the Chenghua period.
Now everyone doesn’t know that the real legend is still to come... (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
