The first thousand and thirty-nine chapters are overstaffed
When Huang Jin conveyed Zhu Hao's meaning to Zhu Sihou.
Zhu Si suddenly realized.
Zhu Hao was reminding him that if Yang Yiqing stayed in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the side effects would be too great. If he felt that it was inappropriate, it did not mean that he would immediately drive Yang Yiqing back to his hometown. There was a "compromise" way, which was to let Yang Yiqing join the cabinet.
.
"Yes, after Yang joins the cabinet and is ranked fifth in the cabinet, what can he do? This is much better than leaving him in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
Zhu Si was very happy.
When Yang Yiqing was called back to the court before, he was not asked to join the cabinet because he wanted to leave the position to Zhu Hao.
Now that it was clear that Zhu Hao did not intend to join the cabinet, Zhu Si couldn't force it for a while, so he stuffed Yang Yiqing into the cabinet so that this guy would not use the power at hand to disturb the audience, so that he could have peace of mind and at the same time have an old minister sitting in the court.
, isn’t it pretty good?
Zhang Zuo reminded from the side: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xie Ge, what should... be done?"
One sentence made the scene feel a little awkward.
yes.
This time when the ministers were recruited to return to the court, they not only summoned Yang Yiqing, but also Xie Qian.
If Yang Yiqing enters the cabinet, where should Xie Qian be placed after he returns to the court?
As a minister of the Hanlin system, Xie Qian can only be the minister of the Ministry of Rites when he is the Minister of the Six Bubu. However, it is best to arrange Xie Qian into the cabinet, so as to maximize his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Who made him a famous minister in the Hongzhi Dynasty... But now the cabinet has already
There are four bachelors, and Yang Yiqing will add five more.
Should Xie Qian be made the sixth member of the cabinet?
Huang Jin suggested: "Your Majesty, are there any veterans in the cabinet who need to step down now?"
Zhu Si immediately made a serious face: "There are some things that you shouldn't ask about."
Huang Jin immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"But it makes sense."
Zhu Si pondered for a moment and then said, "There are currently four people in the cabinet, and there are too many people to do the work. How effective can it be? Mr. Tang has passed away, and there are no people from me in it. I think it is time to make some cuts."
Zhang Zuo actually wanted to remind him that the current cabinet structure is very good and there is no need to change it at all.
Why do you have to listen to Zhu Hao and stuff Yang Yiqing in?
The four people at the moment each perform their own duties, so what if there is no one from the Yili Sect?
Who dares to have a dispute with the emperor?
Zhu Sidao: "Who should I ask to step down? I think the position of chief assistant should be given to someone else?"
"His Majesty……"
Zhang Zuozheng was about to say something, but Zhu Si raised his hand to interrupt him and said: "Of course the first assistant must be Mr. Fei Ge. Neither Liu Chun, Shi Yue or Jia Yong has the ability to be the first assistant, let alone me."
Let Shi Yun and Jia Yong be the first assistants. They won't stand by me on major issues. Will I trust them?"
As a cabinet minister, if you can't gain the emperor's trust, then why are you still in the cabinet?
Zhang Zuo finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, it would be better to promote some of our own people to the cabinet earlier."
"Other than Jingdao, who else is suitable?"
Zhu Si was a little angry, "Even Huang Zan ran away. He may have been frustrated in the cabinet. He had no hope of being the chief minister, so he went to be the minister of the Ministry of Husbandry. But if he was allowed to be the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he would be very satisfied.
?”
Zhang Zuo didn't know how to answer.
He finally figured it out.
Both the emperor and Zhu Hao had some opinions on Huang Zan's position.
Huang Zan was obviously recommended by Zhu Hao and became the emperor's confidant. However, this person was always inseparable from the emperor. He often fell out of control on the issue of ceremonial affairs. Later, the cabinet minister did not want to do it anymore and returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs as the minister.
Because it can't stand up to trouble.
It's better now that Huang Zan is hanging out with Yang Yiqing...
But after Yang Yiqing enters the cabinet, his status may not be as good as Huang Zan's. Will the relationship between Huang Zan and Yang Yiqing have to be redefined? Will Yang Yiqing listen to Huang Zan?
"That's it for now. Academician Shi is too old. Let him retreat later."
Zhu Si seemed to have finally figured it out.
The cabinet does not need two people who protect the rituals, and no matter how unbearable Yang Yiqing is, he can still be considered a member of the "rituals faction", although Yang Yiqing has only published some content in support of the rituals and has not publicly expressed his support for the rituals.
But the emperor always felt that Yang Yiqing was too dictating in his appointment as Minister of Civil Affairs.
In this case, let Shi Yuan get out and Yang Yiqing take over.
Zhang Zuo hesitated and said: "Scholar Shi..."
"There is no Mr. Liu Ge, right? But Mr. Liu Ge is also a person of Jingdao after all. I will let him be the chief assistant for a few days, which is worthy of Jingdao... If Mr. Liu Ge becomes an official, Jingdao will hate me.
What should we do? Make a plan in this direction first! Let’s talk to the minister later about adding more candidates to the cabinet!”
…
…
The emperor would either add no bachelors to the cabinet or add two at a time.
When Zhu Si mentioned this matter at the court meeting the next day, many ministers expressed confusion.
In the past year or two, the cabinet can be said to have been the place where officials in the Ming Dynasty changed most frequently. The chief minister was changed twice in succession, and the cabinet ministers were rotated one after another. Of course, the situation with Hanlin bachelors was not better.
Where to go.
In general, the emperor struggled too much with his official positions in the Hanlin system.
Many people still saw clues to the emperor's move. It was said that the position of the cabinet minister was reserved for Zhu Hao, rather than it was prepared for Yang Yiqing.
Zhu Hao doesn't even want to be a Hanlin bachelor, so why would he want to join the cabinet? Doesn't he know that he has insufficient qualifications, and no one will listen to him even if he joins the cabinet?
"Mr. Huang, what do you think is the direction of this matter? Please tell me and listen."
After the court dispersed, Huang Zan was surrounded by many people.
Now Huang Zan can be said to be an opinion leader in the court. Mainly because of the rites faction, only Huang Zan is left. Others are either dead, or sent to the northwest to be the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province, or like Zhu Hao, they are not at all
Just don't care.
Huang Zan was not the leader of the Yili Sect, he had to be the leader.
Huang Zan said: "Your Majesty's move is to bring order out of chaos. The cabinet must be more rigorous in handling government affairs."
What Huang Zan meant was that the emperor seemed to be targeting the cabinet, but in fact he was targeting Shi Yun and Jia Yong.
Basically, one of these two has to step down to make way for Yang Yiqing to join the cabinet.
Yang Yiqing was a member of the rites faction. After entering the cabinet, the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel would be vacated. It was very likely that he, Huang Zan, would take over. Huang Zan tried his best to get Yang Yiqing to join the cabinet. He is now the cabinet boss and the Ministry of Husbandry.
I have also been a minister. I knew that there was no hope of being a chief minister, so I just hoped to be a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and return to my hometown in glory. This would be the end of my official career in this life.
While everyone was talking, many people gathered around Yang Yiqing.
Fei Hong and the others did not go all the way with these people, but went straight back to Wenyuan Pavilion.
After entering the check-in room, Liu Chun said with a smile: "It seems that Yang Butang and Huang Butang are very popular. Now they have gathered a group of people around them."
Liu Chun's words were simply teasing Yang Yiqing and Huang Zan for forming a party.
Now Liu Chun's position in the cabinet is a bit like that of Hongzhi Dynasty and Xie Qian. He is the lubricant for the harmonious coexistence of the old and new factions in the cabinet. He is the lubricant for the harmonious coexistence of the old and new factions in the cabinet. He is also a Hanlin bachelor, and his qualifications are comparable to those of Shi Yuan and Jia Jia.
Yong Du is slightly better and not inferior to Fei Hong.
Regardless of his inclination in the grand ceremony, his role in the cabinet cannot be replaced by others.
Shi Yun asked: "Are all the people in the court and government so swayed by others?"
In words, Shi Yun looked down on the actions of Yang Yiqing and Huang Zan.
Although Yang Yiqing is a veteran of the Four Dynasties, the problem is that Yang Yiqing and Yang Tinghe cannot deal with each other. Yang Yiqing also has political enemies from the previous dynasty such as Wang Qiong, Lu Wan, and Wang Xian among his party members. This means that the grasshoppers on this rope have been strung together.
With Yang Yiqing following his lead, his power began to flourish. It was impossible for him to get together with the civil servants of the Nursing School. Naturally, Yang Yiqing could not be simply classified as a decent person.
Fei Hong said: "Everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Those officials who are eager to cling to others are just looking for support to ensure that they are not swallowed up by the trend of the times."
"this……"
Liu Chun was a little confused.
It seems that you, Fei Hong, also have great opinions on Yang Yiqing.
Then he thought that the person who was most worried about Yang Yiqing joining the cabinet was Fei Hong.
In terms of qualifications, Fei Hong has a certain advantage among the four people in the current cabinet. But if Yang Yiqing is added, the four of them together will not be as prestigious as Yang Yiqing. After all, he has served as governor of the three sides, minister of household affairs, and official affairs department.
The ministers and those who entered the cabinet and served as bachelors of Wuyingdian Palace were full of peaches and plums in the court.
If Yang Yiqing performs unparalleled in the cabinet, I believe it won't be long before the emperor will remove the four top officials in the cabinet one by one, and finally Yang Yiqing will be the chief minister.
After Shi Yun and Jia Yong went to work, Liu Chun came to Fei Hong and said with a smile: "I'm not saying anything else or giving you bad suggestions. What do you think now...if Jingdao can join the cabinet?
Will the result be better?"
"Um!?"
Fei Hong frowned.
Although Fei Hong is also wary of Zhu Hao joining the cabinet, compared to Yang Yiqing, whether Zhu Hao joins the cabinet is really not that important.
Because Zhu Hao was not the kind of person who was very powerful and put great pressure on people, and his reputation in the court was not that high. Even if he gained the emperor's trust, Fei Hong would not be at a disadvantage in the fight with Zhu Hao.
But if Zhu Hao and Yang Yiqing join the cabinet together, it will be very special.
Now none of the four cabinet members is Yang Yiqing's opponent. The only thing Yang Yiqing fears most is Zhu Hao...
Zhu Hao did not make his fortune based on reputation, but relied on the emperor's absolute trust.
This……
This is exactly what Yang Yiqing does not have.
This also explains why after Yang Yiqing entered the court, he did not target others, but focused on pursuing and beating Zhu Hao. The memorials he wrote were all about the merits and demerits of the emperor's unauthorized appointment of Zhu Hao. It seemed that if Zhu Hao was not dealt with, it would not be reflected.
It shows that his value in the government is average.
Now the problem emerged, because Yang Yiqing was aggressively confronting Zhu Hao. When the emperor saw that this was not going to work, he directly transferred Yang Yiqing to the cabinet.
If there were still four people in the cabinet, I'm afraid Yang Yiqing would be outshone by Yang Yiqing's ability and reputation.
The only one who has a chance to challenge Yang Yiqing is still Zhu Hao.
But now Zhu Hao is just doing nothing in his position as Hanlin bachelor...
"Is there any way?"
Fei Hong doesn't talk nonsense either.
He heard that Liu Chun's plan was a brilliant one.
If we want to resolve the impact of Yang Yiqing's entry into the cabinet, we can only absorb Zhu Hao... But the problem is, the cabinet personnel structure is too bloated, right?
