Chapter 783 Brothers Settle Accounts Clearly (New Year's Day)
Zhu Siming told the ministers present.
I am targeting those new academicians, what can you do to me?
How to select and appoint officials, I cannot interfere one by one. That is the matter of the Ministry of Personnel. I have said too much and you still accuse me of interfering in the daily operations of the six ministries. Now I am using my own power to decide not to select Shujishi for this undergraduate course. This is
This is not something that has happened before, and I am not the first of its kind.
As per the old rules, if you want to use this matter to attack me, just summarize a series of situations that happened to previous emperors who did not conduct palace selection. If you want to scold me, you should scold several of the previous emperors together.
This made Yang Tinghe feel powerless.
It seems to be targeting him, but in fact it is only targeting those new scholars. He originally planned to arrange more of his own among the new scholars to go to the Hanlin Academy, such as Li Sunchen, who won the first place in the imperial examination. These are the younger generation Yang Tinghe values
The best among readers.
Without this group of people, if Yang Tinghe wanted to implement anything in the Hanlin Academy, such as finding people to jointly submit memorials as before, he would still have to rely on the previous group of Hanlin Academy.
That group of Hanlin officials, headed by Zhu Hao, had long been blacklisted by the emperor. In the future, the emperor would not take these people seriously if they said anything about it.
It's really depressing.
…
…
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Jiang Mian left the Fengtian Hall and asked Yang Tinghe directly: "Is your Majesty's move intended to target Hanyuan's previous advice? If this is the case, I am afraid that the future of those who stayed in the previous department will be worrying."
In order to prevent the Hanlin Academy from misbehaving officials, the emperor issued a remonstrance as a nobleman. He simply canceled the assessment for selecting common people this time, and made it public on the day of the imperial examination. The intention of disciplinary action was very obvious.
.
This time Jinshi just lost the opportunity to be selected, but they still stayed in the previous years because they frequently appeared in ceremonial meetings and joint remonstrances, so that even Jiang Mian could see that this group of people would be here in the future.
If you want to gain the emperor's trust and importance, just being in the Hanlin Academy in the early years of Jiajing can basically be rejected by the emperor.
This group of people is basically classified as Yang Tinghe's party.
Yang Tinghe said: "Let someone talk to His Majesty, maybe there will be a turn for the better."
Jiang Mian frowned and said, "Is this... to advise His Majesty? Maybe it's not necessary."
It's just a matter of selecting an academy. Whether to add twenty common people to the Hanlin Academy will not have much impact on the court situation. Even if it is said that the emperor is killing the chicken to scare the monkey, it will not cause much damage to Yang Tinghe. There is really no need to fight with the emperor.
in the end.
Yang Tinghe said: "It doesn't matter whether the matter can be done or not. Your Majesty must know good and evil, right and wrong, and you cannot influence the court situation with your personal likes and dislikes. I will find someone to inform the Queen Mother and ask her to advise Your Majesty."
…
…
Yang Tinghe should try his best to make up for it as soon as possible.
If Yang Tinghe completely allowed the new emperor to act in matters such as the election of the imperial court, his reputation among the scholars would further decline.
Because everyone felt that it seemed that the emperor was targeting those Hanlins who directly remonstrated with the Hanlin Academy. In fact, he was targeting Yang Tinghe. After all, Yang Tinghe’s opinions were mainly based on the opinions of Yang Tinghe in previous joint discussions on matters such as the Dali Conference. In fact, many Hanlins were also criticized by so-called Hanlins.
Qingliu System was kidnapped and had to participate in the joint effort.
It is tantamount to saying that Yang Tinghe has caused this group of Jinshi to have no chance of being selected. If Yang Tinghe does nothing, how can the scholars believe that this first-year scholar will support them?
Unfortunately, there is not much Yang Tinghe can do.
At present, there is only one way to seek help that has failed several times before, and that is to ask Empress Dowager Zhang to come forward to persuade the emperor.
This time Yang Tinghe had to rely on Empress Dowager Zhang, and if Empress Dowager Zhang did not help him this time, Yang Tinghe's situation in the court would be even more difficult in the future.
An important reason why Yang Tinghe has been able to control the government in the past two years is that he established the young emperor. As long as he joins forces with the Queen Mother Zhang, he even has the qualifications to depose him.
But if Empress Dowager Zhang chooses to support her new adopted son and not listen to him, Yang Tinghe, and Yang Tinghe loses his biggest supporter, Empress Dowager Zhang, then he is no different from an ordinary powerful minister. If he wants to become a powerful minister capable of running the country, he can only let him
Queen Mother Zhang was of the same mind as him.
So this time Yang Tinghe tested Queen Mother Zhang's attitude for the last time.
…
…
At this time, Queen Mother Zhang had no intention of caring about matters in the court.
Recently she is busy teaching the new queen.
She didn't see much of her son, but her daughter-in-law was very filial to her, much more respectful than the Empress Dowager Chiang. She came over every day to greet her, and even sat down to talk together. She asked about the emperor's daily life, and the empress
He never hides anything.
The Empress Dowager Zhang did not know that this was just Empress Chen's own initiative, and was not from Zhu Si's instruction at all. The Empress Dowager Zhang thought that her son was too shy to fulfill his responsibilities as a son of man, so she asked his wife to fulfill her filial piety.
As soon as the queen was sent away that day, she learned that her younger brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling had entered the palace.
Ever since Zhang Yanling came back from the northwest for meritorious service, the two brothers had fallen out. This time, the Empress Dowager Zhang finally made peace and allowed the brothers to have a meal together in the palace. For the sake of caution, she also specifically asked Zhu Si for permission and obtained her son's consent. However,
The two younger brothers can only move around the Renshou Palace.
"Sister, your majesty recently said that he would assign me a new job or promote me in the capital camp. I think it is better to become the admiral directly. How about my sister telling your majesty?"
As soon as Zhang Yanling arrived, she started to sneer in front of her brother.
"boom!"
Zhang Heling slammed the table and said loudly, "Sister, I don't know what your temper is. I can't stand him! Didn't we agree to make peace? Now if the emperor has anything to do, he will only take care of him. If there is nothing to do with me, just take care of him."
How can we call them brothers like this? It would have been better for my mother to give birth to a stone than to give birth to him!"
Zhang Heling was full of resentment and felt that my mother should not have given birth to this younger brother.
Although the Queen Mother Zhang is in charge of the family, doesn't it mean that the eldest brother is the father? The father wants to make you, the younger brother, disappear from the world, so that you will not affect my interests, the eldest brother.
Queen Mother Zhang frowned: "Listen to what you are all saying? How your Majesty employs people is your Majesty's business, and it also depends on your qualifications and abilities."
Zhang Heling glared at Queen Mother Zhang and asked: "Then what sister means is that my qualifications are not as good as his, and I deserve to be squatting at home and chewing on me for the rest of my life, right? It doesn't matter if I chew on it, it just depends on whether my sister's family background is strong enough for me to chew on."
of."
When Zhang Yanling heard this, he said disdainfully: "At this moment, I am thinking about giving things to my sister, but you are the only one who still thinks about getting them from me. You really have the face to do so."
"Why are you talking? Where are the things you gave to your sister?" Zhang Heling was very unconvinced.
"snort!"
Of course Zhang Yanling would not give anything to her sister.
It was just talk, in order to trick this sister into giving him more, but now it was exposed by his brother in front of him.
Empress Dowager Zhang rolled her eyes at her two younger brothers angrily: "Recently, the Ai family asked someone to ask His Majesty. Your Majesty said that you have made great progress recently, but there is currently only one vacancy in the Beijing camp. If you are really determined to serve the imperial court, Liaodong seems to have
There are also vacancies for garrison ministers..."
"he goes!"
Zhang Yanling pointed at Zhang Heling and said, "Brother, aren't you very capable? I made a hard trip to the northwest and came back with military honors using a Tatar crossbow. Do you have the ability to earn one yourself?"
"As if who wouldn't dare? Just wait... If you have the ability, go to Liaodong and get your military merit back. Then my brother will leave the errands of the Beijing camp to you!"
Zhang Heling is not stupid either.
There is only one vacancy in the Beijing camp, so I must be the one to take over.
Who makes me the eldest brother?
Naturally, the elder brother enjoys any good things in the family first. Otherwise, why did I become Shouning Marquis and you became Jian Chang Bo? Now I am the one who has the opportunity to be promoted to Chang Guo Gong!
Zhang Yanling stood up angrily: "What do you mean? Do you want to take over the errands in the Beijing camp? You don't even urinate and take a picture of yourself, just you? Even if you go to the army, no one is convinced. Then we will
It’s embarrassing for our Zhang family! Humph!”
He was right about that.
Even the Queen Mother Zhang felt that the emperor's son wanted to leave the errands of the Beijing camp to the second son of the Zhang family. After all, Zhang Yanling still had some reputation in the army.
But for her, a sister whose palms and backs are full of flesh, she would feel sorry for the other person if she gravitated towards her.
Now Zhang Heling is already in a mood. If he is sent to Liaodong again this time, wouldn't he be treated even worse?
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Then the Ai family will go talk to His Majesty and try to arrange for you both to be included. You two brothers are serving the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to quarrel...Boss, you are the same, why can't you imitate your younger brother? Look,
Let me tell you a few words, and you are still staring at me. Were you willing to go to Juyongguan to die? Don't brag here. If you think you are qualified to join the army, we will arrange for you to go to Liaodong or northwest, and you will go too.
Have a go.”
Zhang Heling said: "Sister, why are you trying to tear me down? If the emperor sends that Tang Bohu to lead troops in the northwest next time, I will go with him! I will not follow those wimps."
"Tang Bohu?"
Queen Mother Zhang frowned.
Zhang Heling looked at his younger brother with disdain and said: "Nowadays, people say that Tang Bohu, the god of heaven, descended to earth and was so awesome. The second son was able to obtain military honors all because he followed the man named Tang. Don't take advantage of other people for such good deeds in the future. Sister, I am like this
I think, if the Tatars come again this year and the northwest side can't stand it, they will definitely let Tang Bohu come out. Then you can arrange for me to go and see if I dare!"
Queen Mother Zhang shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Love: You serve the country, but there are still prerequisites. Do you have to be with Tang Bohu?
Isn’t it possible to do it with others?
Just at this time, a female official came in and informed: "The Queen Mother, she said she is someone from the cabinet, please inform Eunuch Xu and ask him to give you a message."
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Didn't you see that Aijia is meeting her family? Don't you understand the rules?"
"I don't dare, slave."
The female officer quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Zhang Heling looked at the graceful figure of the female officer with a sly smile on his face. He was still fighting for military merit and position before, but now he started to have some evil thoughts.
"I want you to come and have a family dinner together. I haven't gotten together with you for a long time. Please be safe when you go back. His Majesty is in the midst of employing people and may call on you at any time! Don't embarrass the Zhang family!"
At this time, in order to ease the conflict between the two younger brothers, Queen Mother Zhang did not bother to respond to Yang Tinghe's request.
Today is the first day of the first lunar month. I wish all book friends good luck, good health and all the best in the Year of the Rabbit!
