He just barely said Zang Feng's name, but even if the people present heard that it was Zang Feng, they still had to pretend they didn't know.
The response adopted by the ministers on the northwest issue was to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
But Zhu Si has long been used to it.
Whenever he wants to insist on it, the civil servants will oppose it, and whenever he wants to use someone, the civil servants will absolutely abandon him like a pair of worn shoes... The two are originally in opposition, so why do they have to act so affectionate?
Since it is a transaction, it must be made as if it were a transaction. It seems that letting Tang Yin become an official will not bring any actual benefits in the eyes of the civil servants.
…
…
The court meeting failed to select the candidate for Governor Xuanda, and the results were discussed.
At the end of the court meeting, Zhu Si summoned Yang Tinghe and five other cabinet ministers, as well as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, to the Qianqing Palace to continue a small meeting to discuss the matter.
Many ministers disagreed.
When the court can't come up with any results, do you think that holding a small meeting can turn things around?
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Si made it clear as soon as he came up: "...As for the post of General Controller of Xuan Da Military Affairs, I feel that reinstating Zang Qing's family officials may be the best result. As for the vacancies such as the Governor of Datong and the Governor of Xuanfu, I I will listen to your opinions."
None of the cabinet members could have imagined that the little emperor's attitude would change so quickly.
Although Zhu Si had already identified Zang Feng in the selection of Governor of Xuanda, he took the initiative to hand over the two important responsibilities of Governor of Datong and Governor of Xuanfu to a civilian official.
"But I have something to say first. Chen Jiuchou must return to the court. I don't care what errands are arranged for him. I also want to save face."
Zhu Si added another sentence.
Several people in the cabinet couldn't help but look at Yang Tinghe.
The final choice in this matter still depends on Yang Tinghe's attitude.
Sun Jiao was the first to go out and said: "Your Majesty, the military affairs in the northwest should be led by knowledgeable people. This Zang Feng... was born as a canal engineer, or maybe... is not very proficient in this. Haha."
At the end of the sentence, Sun Jiao actually laughed out loud.
I really couldn't hold it back.
Jiang Mian and others couldn't help but frown and look at Sun Jiao.
You old boy, you don't hold yourself back. How dare you snicker when the emperor calls you right? How do you have the nerve to smile?
Even if what you say sounds like you are supporting us, it’s not that we don’t know what you, Sun Zhitong, are doing, so who knows what the implication is?
Zhu Sidao: "They know what they do? Well, that makes sense. Aren't I going to arrange two knowledgeable governors in Datong and Xuanfu? Mr. Yang Ge, if I ask others, why don't I ask you directly, what do you think?"
The emperor not only stated that this was a transaction, but also directly bargained with Yang Tinghe, making it seem as if Yang Tinghe was a leader of the civil service and a figure who could confront the emperor.
Even if this was the case, Yang Tinghe still had to pretend to be frightened and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you should ask the Ministry of War for its opinion on this matter."
"Oh, what do you think of Peng Butang?"
Zhu Si turned to look at Peng Ze.
Peng Ze was stunned for a moment.
The emperor took the two positions of governor of Xuanfu and governor of Datong, coupled with Tang Yin's appointment, and replaced Zang Feng as governor of Xuanda. Did Yang Zhongtang agree or disagree with this?
Why ask me?
After I return to the dynasty, I will be no more than a dog under Yang Tinghe. Is it my turn to make decisions on this kind of thing?
Peng Ze said: "Back to your majesty, Zang Feng made some mistakes when he was proclaiming the university. I'm afraid...it will be difficult to convince the public."
Zhu Si smiled and said: "If he can't convince the public, who can convince the public? Tang Yin? It seems that there have been a lot less internal disputes reported in the Northwest News recently... I want to hear from you about the selection of the governor of Datong and the governor of Xuanfu.
Any suggestions?"
Peng Ze didn't know how to speak.
Yang Tinghe saw that if he did not take charge of the overall situation, the Minister of War would not be able to deal with the aggressive little emperor in front of him.
Yang Tinghe said: "Zhang Wenjin, the former minister of Taipu Temple, may be able to patrol the Datong local army.
service."
When Yang Tinghe spoke, Peng Ze immediately understood that Yang Tinghe agreed to the emperor's terms of exchange.
Previously, Yang Tinghe firmly disagreed with the idea of exchanging the Governor of Xuanda back to Zang Feng if Tang Yin was the official official, but now if the governors of the two places are included in the exchange, Yang Tinghe feels that this is a very cost-effective deal.
Even if Zang Feng arrives in the northwest, nominally he will be responsible for the military and political affairs of Xuanfu, Datong and Piantou Pass, but the actual assignment tasks will still be handed over to the two governors.
"Pretty good."
Without thinking twice, Zhu Si agreed to accept Zhang Wenjin, who was not currently an official in the court, as governor of Datong.
Sun Jiao reminded: "Your Majesty, the governor of Xuanfu, when it comes to the dispatch of money and grain in the northwest, he should be an official who is not involved in military affairs. He should be proficient in grain dispatch and other matters as a priority."
"Um."
Zhu Si nodded and looked at Yang Tinghe with burning eyes, "Mr. Yang Ge, do you have any other good candidates who can be put into the post of governor of Xuanfu?"
Yang Tinghe did not respond this time, but looked at Sun Jiao: "It would be better for the Ministry of Household Affairs to recommend such candidates."
"oh?"
Even Zhu Si was a little surprised.
I offered the candidates of the Governor of Datong and the Governor of Xuanfu in exchange for your compromise on the candidate of Governor of Xuanda. Now you only fight for the Governor of Datong and go back, but you don’t fight for the Governor of Xuanfu?
At this time, Sun Jiao, who was placed on the table, saw the clues.
Sun Jiao thought to himself that Yang Jiefu was really scheming. Of course what he wanted to do was to deal with local military and political affairs in Xuanda, but he also knew that because the late emperor had been stationed in Xuanfu for many years, the local forces would not turn to him and rashly arrange for his cronies to become the president.
It is difficult for the governor of Xuanfu to convince the public, and it may cause new chaos. Just like when he asked Chen Jiuchou to go to the general administration to attack first, but he did not even dare to move the governor's office to Xuanfu, and the government orders could not be issued from Datong. This is the reason
.
So Yang Jiefu decided to only fight for the governor of Datong. As for the governor of Xuanfu, he asked me to recommend him. This was tantamount to selling the emperor a favor, and he could make up for it elsewhere later.
Sun Jiao laughed and said, "Li Duo, the young minister of Dali Temple, is good at managing money and food. He may be able to use it."
"Li Duo?"
Zhu Si frowned slightly, as if he couldn't remember who this person was, and turned to look at Yang Tinghe, "Mr. Yang Ge, do you think this person can be trusted?"
This time, Yang Tinghe didn't even think about it, so he raised his hands and said, "I second the proposal."
Zhu Si smiled and nodded: "Then let's settle this matter like this. Let Zang Feng control the military and political affairs of Xuan Da, Zhang Wenjin will patrol Datong, Li Duo will patrol Xuan Mansion, and Chen Jiuchou will return to the court... This way, it will be free.
For the position of Young Minister of Dali Temple, Chen Jiuchou will be replaced without any other choice. What do you think?"
No one spoke. It was obvious that this was the result of a compromise between Zhu Si and Yang Tinghe. Others were not qualified to propose anything.
"Okay, the final result will be decided at the court meeting. I just want to tell you now. You must support me at the court meeting tomorrow!" Zhu Si said with a smile.
Peng Ze reminded: "Your Majesty, where is Tang Yin?"
After talking for a long time, the most important person was not decided. It was said that Tang Yin could become an official, but who knew whether the emperor was using this matter to fool people?
Zhu Sidao: "Tang Qing's family will return to the capital and be his idler. These two years... I won't use him anymore. Let's talk about it later."
…
…
I've been trying to figure it out for nearly a month, but I seem to have no clue.
Just because of a small inner court meeting held in Qianqing Palace, the problem was solved.
When the matter was finally settled the next day, both Zhu Si and Yang Tinghe behaved very well. No one was fighting or competing, which surprised many people who were waiting to see the show...
What happened to make the relationship between monarch and ministers so harmonious?
Zhang Wenjin... was a figure. He was imprisoned for opposing Liu Jin. After Liu Jin was executed, he moved to the Ministry of Household Affairs to supervise the taxation of Shaanxi, and later moved to the prefecture of Anqing. When King Ning rebelled, Zhang Wenjin and the capital commanded Yang Rui to prepare for defense. King Ning went down the river to prepare. To attack Nanjing, Anqing must be conquered. As a result, they fought all the way to the north and could not capture it for a long time. As Nanchang was captured by Wang Shouren, King Ning had to lead the army.
After retreating in embarrassment, Zhang Wenjin used his merits to promote Taipusi Shaoqing.
The question is how did Li Duo get to the position? Shaoqing of Dali Temple? This person knows how to manage money and food? Who gave him the courage to say that he is proficient in money and food?
If this is a transaction, the question is, is Li Duo Yang Tinghe's person?
He is clearly...a marginalized figure who was previously unknown and unknown, so why did he suddenly get involved in the vortex of the struggle between the interests of the monarchs and ministers of Xuan Da?
As soon as the news came out.
People in the northwest are at peace.
For the generals in the northwest, as long as someone other than Yang Tinghe becomes the governor of Xuanda, they can accept it.
If Yang Tinghe takes over the military and political affairs of Xuanda, he will definitely clean up the Xuanda system, just like Yang Tinghe did when he cleaned up the forces of Wang Qiong and Lu Wan in the court...
It has been almost two years since the new emperor ascended the throne, and the purges are still limited to the area around the capital, excluding the northwest and Nanjing. This also shows that Yang Tinghe did not gain much advantage in the battle with the new emperor.
Even this time, many people have heard that Chen Jiuchou was originally insisted by Yang Tinghe and Peng Ze to stay in the northwest as the governor of Xuanda, but he was forced to step down and returned to Beijing to become a mild-mannered young man of Dali Temple. Sir, I was not even given the position of governor of Datong. This is not a return to the imperial court but a relegation to the capital.
As for Zhang Wenjin.
This person is famous for his cold and stern military management, and many generals in the northwest have heard of it. These people have an upright character and are the kind of people who strictly enforce military laws. They learned from Sun Wu's way of running the army and pay attention to the execution of orders and prohibitions. Because of his upright character, He had few friends in the court. After Zhang Wenjin became the Minister of Taipu Temple, he supervised the horse administration in the northwest. However, because the horse administration involved too many nobles and his personality was intolerable, he offended the nobles and was dismissed from his post. He has been idle at home for the past six months.
He was suddenly activated and became the governor of Datong?
For the generals of the Northwest Army, they really dislike such "cruel officials" who only care about law and discipline.
And Li Duo...
Previously, he was even more secretive, because there was no news about what faction he belonged to, and the generals in the northwest did not know whether this person was from the Peng Ze faction, or whether he was closely related to the new emperor... As for him, he knew how to manage money and wages. ...We only know that he works in the prison system, and there are not many rumors about his other talents.
In fact, Li Duo really doesn't have a faction at the moment.
However, when Sun Jiao was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the early years of Zhengde, he admired Li Duo's courage to speak out and felt that he had a bold personality. After returning to the capital, Li Duo visited him privately many times. After talking with him, Sun Jiao felt that Li Duo He is very suitable for the errands of the Household Department, but the Household Department has no vacancies for Li Duo... After all, Li Duo is not qualified to directly be the Right Assistant Minister of the Household Department.
It just so happened that the governor of Xuanfu was vacant this time, so the Emperor and Yang Tinghe actually asked Sun Jiao to recommend him. Sun Jiao directly recommended Li Duo, and he was approved in one fell swoop.
