Chapter 520 The old man is very angry (seeking a monthly ticket)
Chapter 520 Mr. Ge is very angry (please vote for me)
Forbidden City.
At the end of the morning court, Zhu Si summoned Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, to Qianqing Palace alone, leaving only Zhang Zuo beside him.
Zhu Si's face was serious, as if he wanted to discuss something important with Yang Tinghe.
Zhu Si looked at Yang Tinghe and said expectantly: "Mr. Yang Ge, I used to have several gentlemen who taught me knowledge in the palace. They were very knowledgeable. One of them was an outstanding scholar who was highly appreciated by the late king and was entrusted with an important task. This is Fan Zhen brought him to the capital together, and now I want to appoint him to an official position, but I don’t know what position he should be given?"
Yang Tinghe felt a thump in his heart after hearing this.
Could it be that the person the emperor was talking about was Tang Yin?
I just found out that there was a person like Tang Yin next to the little emperor, and in the blink of an eye, the little emperor offered to grant Tang Yin an official title?
Yang Tinghe pretended to be ignorant and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, there are always rules for the selection of officials. I wonder what kind of fame this person has? What qualifications have he accumulated in his past official career?"
Zhu Sidao: "His name is Tang Yin, and his courtesy name is Bohu. He has no official experience, but he has served as a guest in Prince Ning's Mansion and Prince Xing's Mansion. He pretended to be crazy and left Nanchang to Anlu to avoid trouble. He has stayed in the Prince's Mansion ever since. Professor I am knowledgeable and at the same time work for the royal family and have made many contributions."
Sure enough it was him!
Yang Tinghe found that he was very passive, as if every move he made was restricted by others, and every step he took was expected.
"I usually call him Mr. Tang. He was born in Juren. However, due to an incident during the Hongzhi period, he no longer had the opportunity to pass the Jinshi examination... But I know that he is very knowledgeable and with his ability, he should fill an official position in the court. Isn’t it difficult?”
Zhu Si was eager to seek an official position for Tang Yin.
Yang Tinghe shook his head: "Your Majesty, this person has never been an official. If you rashly place him in the court, I'm afraid it will... cause criticism."
Zhu Sidao: "I also know that this is not good, but I don't want to assign official positions to everyone in the palace. Isn't it okay to assign positions to just Mr. Tang?"
"I think this request is not too much, right? Even though Mr. Tang has no experience as an official and has no official title in the palace, he has worked hard and made great achievements. He did not accept the imperial reward because he wanted to avoid disaster...
"As far as I know, Mr. Tang not only led troops to suppress the rebellion, but also participated in disaster relief. He also informed Prince Xing's palace in advance of the news about Prince Ning's rebellion. This news was also passed on to Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Jiangxi. Therefore, Prince Ning's rebellion was carried out quickly. Calm down...Mr. Tang has done great service to the court!"
"No!"
Yang Tinghe's attitude was extremely determined.
Originally, he didn't want to betray the little emperor's face. This was breaking the rules. Although there had been an endless stream of ministers in the court since the Chenghua year, in Yang Tinghe's eyes, the emperor skipped the selection of staff and directly appointed official positions. Trouble the imperial court.
You are the emperor I elected, and I have the responsibility to teach you. What's more, Tang Yin is probably a powerful assistant who is hiding in the dark to help you, and is my political enemy. Why should I help you?
Zhu Si continued to persuade him with sincerity: "It is true that Mr. Tang has no official rank in the palace, but everything he does is the responsibility of the palace chief. Zhang Changshi and Yuan Changshi have been in charge of the palace one after another because they are not in the palace because they are not in the palace. To handle the affairs of the palace, I have long regarded him as the chief historian of the palace. With his qualifications as the chief historian of the palace, it should be feasible to appoint him to an official position in the court, right?"
The more Yang Tinghe listened, the more he felt that his suspicion was correct. This Tang Yin was probably the "master" behind the little emperor.
Yang Tinghe was very angry and his hands were shaking. He couldn't figure out why the little emperor's most trusted person was not Yuan Zonggao or the late Zhang Jingming, but the unknown Tang Yin?
Isn’t that a libertine? A man who goes crazy in fashion in Nanchang and jumps into a lake naked in the middle of the winter. If a person like this enters the imperial court... what kind of decency does the imperial court have?
Yang Tinghe first rejected Tang Yin in his heart, and naturally thought of various reasons to persuade him to disagree.
Yang Tinghe's attitude was firm: "Your Majesty, the appointment and dismissal of officials in the DPRK and Central Government has its own set of rules. The appointment and selection of officials must be reported to the local chief envoy and reviewed by the Ministry of Personnel. If they are directly appointed, the order in the DPRK will not exist...
The appointment and dismissal of officials without going through the official department for selfish reasons is a sign of chaos for the country, and I firmly oppose it!"
Zhu Si said coldly: "Okay, I know that Yang Ge is always a loyal minister, and everything is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Let me tell you frankly, now I want to use Mr. Tang to check the accounts of the river engineering, involving the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Works, if
He is just a commoner, how can he help me investigate?"
Sure enough it was him!
Yang Tinghe was filled with grief and anger. It had been almost two months since the emperor arrived in the capital, and he didn't know that there was such a person beside the little emperor. It was really a mistake.
"If I want to directly appoint Mr. Tang as the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs or the Ministry of Industry, I must not do it, because he must be an official with a Jinshi background... I don't ask for anything else, just make him the ambassador of Guangjiku of the Ministry of Households, the ninth grade.
Your official position should be fine now, right?"
What Zhu Si said can be said to be reasonable and well-founded.
I want Tang Yin to help me investigate the case, so I assigned him a job in the Household Department. Moreover, this is an official vacancy for a ninth-grade official, which is exactly the position that a juren can fill. There is no Jinshi who would accept such a position as a ninth-grade official.
.
Yang Tinghe said: "Guangjiku is a place where sulfur, saltpeter and other things are stored. It is difficult to control unless someone is familiar with it. If there is a deviation..."
"Mr. Yang Ge, don't worry about this."
Zhu Si smiled and said, "Mr. Yang Ge may not know that there were Jiangxi bandits in Anlu back then. Under the instructions of King Ning, they went to Huguang to plunder. Mr. Tang defeated thousands of bandits with less than 300 men.
, which uses gunpowder... He can be said to be very knowledgeable about this."
Yang Tinghe had a headache after hearing this.
It seems that what my son told me yesterday is true.
What Tang Yin did in Anlu was quite sensational. It may be that the court was controlled by traitors such as Qian Ning and Jiang Bin at that time, so no one explored this matter in detail.
Now that there is an emperor in Prince Xing's Mansion, the matter has been highlighted.
Zhu Sidao: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs selects officials and gives the position of ambassador to Guangjiku, who is elected to the ninth rank, to assist me in checking the accounts of the river engineering. Will it not be seen as a violation of the court rules in the eyes of Mr. Yang Ge? I just want to make the best use of people's talents.
I don’t mean to be partial to him.”
Yang Tinghe was choked back by Zhu Si.
An ambassador of Guangjiku is not just an idle job. Not to mention the hard work, there is no salary. In terms of his position in the hearts of the public, he is not even as good as a county magistrate. The magistrate is always a job for the nobles.
Yang Tinghe said: "If your Majesty really intends to transfer him to the Ministry of Household Affairs, why not summon the courtiers to discuss the matter?"
"I don't want to publicize it to the outside world."
Zhu Si answered the question very simply every time, completely without thinking, reflecting his clear thinking, "I asked the river workers to be thoroughly investigated, but it was a secret investigation. If the matter was brought to the court and said openly, everyone would know it.
It is not conducive to clearing up the accounts, and will also bring a lot of trouble. I summoned Mr. Yang Ge to discuss it, and asked Mr. Yang Ge to give me face so that Mr. Tang can be used by me. Thank you, Mr. Yang Ge!"
…
…
Yang Tinghe was very angry, but finally agreed that the matter was feasible and stated that he would communicate with the officials.
That morning, he had no intention of returning to Wenyuan Pavilion for work. Instead, he left the palace directly and went to a private house in Jinyu Hutong outside Dong'an Gate. This was where Yang Tinghe temporarily stayed during his lunch break and before the morning court. He occasionally discussed matters with his cronies here.
The study immediately sent someone to find Yang Shen.
"...Why is father looking for you?"
Yang Shen was a little confused. Logically speaking, nothing big happened in the court, so his father couldn't just ask him to come to this place to talk.
Yang Tinghe immediately asked: "Have you asked Zhu Hao for confirmation about Tang Yin today?"
Yang Shen nodded: "Yes."
"when?"
Yang Tinghe continued to ask questions.
"Just after he finished speaking, he told everything about Tang Yin's situation in the palace. Not long after, his father sent people to look for him..." Yang Shen still didn't understand why his father was so angry.
Yang Tinghe frowned, thought for a while and then asked: "Then has he ever been out of Hanyuan, or seen anyone? Did he ask someone to go out to spread the word?"
Yang Shen heard the problem and asked hurriedly: "Father, someone leaked the news?"
When Yang Tinghe heard this, he threw the teacup in his hand on the ground. With a "pop" sound, the teacup smashed into pieces: "After today's court meeting, His Majesty summoned him alone and mentioned that he would give Tang Yin an official title. He did not mention it sooner or later. He is a father.
Knowing that this person is in Prince Xing's Mansion, how come His Majesty took the initiative to ask for an official for him?"
Yang Shen said hurriedly: "Father, calm down. After the child mentioned it to Zhu Hao, he has been in the editing room and has not seen him talking to anyone. Moreover, the time is not right. He... can't send a message to the outside world. Is that possible?
Could it be...a coincidence?"
Yang Tinghe didn't answer, his angry look clearly said, where can there be so many coincidences in the world?
"Father, Tang Yin is just a civil servant. His Majesty wants to grant him an official position. It is inconsistent with the law, so father refuses." Yang Shen offered another suggestion.
Yang Tinghe sneered: "Your Majesty said that Tang Yin would be used to check the accounts of the river industry, and he also mentioned that he was only appointed as the ambassador of Guangjiku. What's more, his father mentioned that Guangjiku is a place where gunpowder manufacturing materials are stored. Should he
As someone who knows how to do it, your majesty can actually answer that he used firearms to defeat the bandit army in Anlu. Someone clearly taught your majesty to say this. Even this errand was probably planned by Tang Yin himself, with the purpose of joining the court."
"this……"
Yang Shen didn't know what to say.
He finally understood why Yang Tinghe was so angry.
Emotionally Yang Tinghe was frustrated by the little emperor before, and all the reasons he could think of were reasonably answered by the little emperor, as if someone had planned it in advance.
In the court, Yang Tinghe could be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. How had he ever experienced this kind of cowardice?
Yang Tinghe said: "Then did you inform others of this matter in advance? So that His Majesty could be prepared?"
Yang Shen thought for a while and seemed to think of something. He stopped talking and the scene froze.
"Yong Xiu, my father used to think that you were cautious and foresighted, but recently... since the new emperor came to the throne, you have been surrounded by cunning friends. Instead of helping you, they always do bad things. Shouldn't you reflect on it?
"
Yang Tinghe believed that his son informed others of the matter in advance, which led to the emperor being prepared.
Yang Shen looked like he was being taught humbly, and bowed and saluted: "My father taught me that if something like this happens again in the future, no matter how trustworthy the people around me are, I will never tell him in advance."
"As long as you know!"
Yang Tinghe was very angry.
But I finally knew that the problem was with Yang Shen, and it was not Tang Yin or the little emperor's clever calculation, so I felt a little better.
After giving his son a lesson, he returned to the palace to continue handling court affairs.
