Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 233

Although court recommendation is a system of selection in the court system, in essence, it is just courtiers recommending officials they think meet the requirements to the emperor.

Just recommendations and suggestions, not the final decision.

Since Emperor Taizu abolished Zhongshu and dismissed the prime minister.

As for the affairs of the imperial court, no matter how big or small, the decision-making power was put into the hands of the emperor, and the appointment and removal of officials was naturally the same.

Whether it is the selection of officials by the Ministry of Officials or the selection of ministers by the court, they are all selected on behalf of the emperor, and they have no decision-making power in essence.

After all, the emperor takes care of everything every day, so there is no time to examine the officials one by one.

Just like this time, if there is no court push, the emperor will need to select three of the hundreds of Beijing officials and local officials who have the basic qualifications to join the cabinet.

The imperial court has to transfer so many officials every day, all relying on the emperor to choose, this kind of workload, Taizu can't do it...

Therefore, it is necessary for officials or courtiers to select, the former is Quanxuan, and the latter is the so-called court recommendation.

But whether it is the selection of officials by the Ministry of Officials, the recommendation of the court, or the recommendation of his ministers, the final decision-making power is always in the hands of the emperor.

The most obvious feature of this point is that the emperor has the right to reject the results of Ting Tui, which is not uncommon in Ming Dynasty.

Ting Tui did not submit the final candidate, but at least two candidates, and the emperor finally selected the chosen one.

If the emperor is not satisfied with the selected candidates, he can also order a re-election, or simply shelve the election, which has precedents before.

Of course, generally speaking, the emperor will still give face to the officials.

This is mainly because whether to push or not depends on the emperor's will.

Ting Tui is for the selection of high-level officials above the third rank, but this does not mean that all third-rank high-ranking officials must go through Ting Tui.

In most cases, if the emperor prefers a certain official, as long as he meets the basic requirements, he can be appointed directly.

Shi Pu, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry who had just been sentenced to behead, is a typical official who was directly promoted and appointed by the emperor.

Generally speaking, the court will only carry out the order when the emperor is undecided.

This order is very important, and Ting Tui is in accordance with the will of the emperor.

That is to say, under normal circumstances, the selection process for the third-rank senior officials is not directly recommended by the court, but a vacancy list is presented by the Ministry of Officials. If the emperor has someone who is in the heart of the emperor, he will be directly appointed.

If not, order the court to push, and if the result of the court push is not satisfied, the emperor will not be elected at all.

After the old Tianguan finished reading the long list, there was a burst of discussion from below.

This kind of matter involving the transfer of important officials in the court, the news spread quickly. Long before the court push was held, the courtiers had roughly learned about the candidates on the list.

That's why they're weird.

Because, in the list that came out before, there was no such person as Zhang Min, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

This old man, since the recent reorganization of craftsman households has been in a hurry, it is said that it is nearing the end.

At this time, something happened to Shi Pu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Many elders are speculating that Zhang Min's next step is to take over as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but they never thought that he would appear on the cabinet's candidate list.

If this is the case, who should take over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry?
Let's look at the old heavenly official in the temple where the old god is present. This one also said that he wanted to resign, but the trouble has not come to fruition so far.

It's really hard to guess the minds of the bosses!

However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, Ting Tuo continued. After the heavenly official finished reading the list, the next step was to vote.

The ministers suppressed the doubts in their hearts and lined up to cast their own sacred votes.

After a while, the results came out.

The heavenly official took the collected results, turned around, and reported to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister presided over the court push, and a total of five people with the highest number of votes were selected, namely Yu Shiyue, Minister of Dali Temple, Jiang Yuan, Minister of Punishment, Wang Yining, Minister of Rites, Xu Bin, Minister of Taichang Temple, and Zhang Min, Minister of Industry. Pavilion, please Your Majesty's order!"

This result was similar to what the courtiers had expected.

But what surprised them was that Zhang Min was included in the final imperial list with a hanging tail.

You know, to a large extent, Ting Tui does not only look at a person's ability and qualifications, but also his personal connections.

Tingtui's candidate list had been circulated two days earlier.

These officials are basically third-rank officials with real positions. Although the second-rank cabinet is just a title and has no real power, it is a big leap forward.

Therefore, the courtiers who could be selected started running around two days earlier to fight for the number of votes in the court push.

At this time, Zhang Min was not excluded from the list of imperial examinations even though Zhang Min got involved. It has to be said that it was also a miracle.

Thinking of this, a servant has already come down from the imperial steps, presenting the result of the court push in the hands of the old heavenly official to the imperial court.

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then picked up the ink brush, drew a circle on it, and then handed it to Cheng Jing who was standing beside him.

As a result, all the ministers cheered up and pricked up their ears.

If nothing else, this is about to come to fruition!

Cheng Jing respectfully accepted the result of the court push, then turned to face the ministers, and said loudly.

"The imperial decree ordered Yu Shiyue, Minister of Dali Temple, Jiang Yuan, minister of the Ministry of punishment, and Zhang Min, minister of the Ministry of Industry, to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to serve as counselors."

After the words fell, the officials were a little surprised, but they understood immediately.

Why Zhang Min was temporarily stuffed in, but still able to enter the imperial list, the feelings are in the emperor's heart.

You know, Wang Yining and Xu Bin both had higher votes than Zhang Min in the court push, but in the end it was Zhang Min who was selected.

Coupled with the fact that Zhang Min was suddenly included in the candidate list, the officials still don't know the joints.

For a moment, the eyes looking at Zhang Min became more admirable.

This old man, usually looking listless, would only do things with his head down, but he never thought that he would secretly curry favor with the emperor at some point.

Sensing all kinds of gazes from around, Zhang Min was also at a loss.

His name appeared on Tingtui, and he was already very surprised. Who would have thought that he would actually be selected in the end.

What exactly is going on?

Although he didn't know clearly, he still went out with the other two and kowtowed in unison.

"I wait and thank Your Majesty Long En!"

It stands to reason that this court push should end here.

The three cabinet ministers have been selected. Although there is no specific order and title, they will naturally be determined later.

However, at this moment, the old heavenly official who presided over Tingtui stepped forward tremblingly again, bowing down.

"Your Majesty, I'm old and can't do anything, but Your Majesty loves me so much that I've tried to persuade him to stay here several times. However, I left home to study as a young man. Since I became an official, I've worked hard and worked hard for the court for more than forty years. Now I'm old and sick. I only hope that I can return to my hometown, and the leaves will return to their roots. I hope that your Majesty will allow me to beg for the bones again."

Alas?

There was a burst of discussion immediately below, although everyone already knew that the Heavenly Official was not far away from becoming an official.

But no one thought that the old heaven official on the front foot was still energetic and presided over Tingtui, but on the back foot he looked like he couldn't even stand firmly, begging for bones.

Now, aren't you a little too anxious, old man?

Just now you sound like a bell, how can you seem to be plagued by old illnesses!
Why don't you go home anyway, stay sick for two days, go through a procedure or something?
but.

The old heaven official knelt on the ground tremblingly, looking as if he was dying and would fall to the ground in the next second.

On the throne, the eyes of the Son of Heaven were slightly moist, and he let out a long sigh and said with emotion.

"Heavenly officials are the pillars of the country. They have made contributions to the country and owed me kindness. Now that the court is in disarray, my original intention is still to have the heavenly officials in charge of the court. However, the heavenly officials have worked hard for the country for many years, and I cannot bear to make the heavenly officials uneasy in their later years." , since the Heavenly Official has asked to resign several times, I have no choice but to endure the pain and allow the Heavenly Official to resign, Cheng Jing?"

"The minister is here!"

The Son of Heaven got up from the throne and said in a deep voice.

"I pass on my decree, Taibao Crown Prince Taibao Officials Shangshu Wang Zhi, who has been in office for several dynasties, has worked hard and made great achievements, has saved the court from danger several times, helped the sage in the community, and is actually the pillar of the country. this."

Cheng Jing immediately knelt down to receive the decree, and at the same time, the old heavenly official also bowed down again and said loudly.

"Chen Wangzhi, thank God!"

This is really a grace, the old heavenly official is now a grand protector, and now he has become an official, and has been promoted to a grand tutor. Looking at the situation, in a few years, when the old heavenly official dies, there is a high probability that he can become a grand master Chase seal.

There is nothing better than this!
There was silence in the hall, and many people's eyes were red, not because of jealousy, but because of reluctance.

God's officials have been in office for several dynasties, and their prestige and status in the dynasties are unmatched.

Although preparations had been made for a long time, but at this moment, many people still couldn't help crying.

However, the sadness is only temporary, and the next moment, they put this emotion behind them.

On the throne, after a brief silence, the Son of Heaven spoke again.

"The Ministry of the Outer Dynasty is the center of the imperial court. Although I can't bear the appointment of a heavenly official, it is really inappropriate for the six departments to have two vacancies."

"Written, Wang Wen, the censor of the right capital of the Jin Dynasty, is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, plus a young teacher, Chen Xun, a scholar of the Jinshen Temple, is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the Prince Taifu, Gao Gu, a scholar of the Jinwu Yingdian University, is a scholar of the Jinshen Palace. Add the title of Minister of the Ministry of Accounting."

"Yu Shiyue, Minister of Dali Temple in Jin Dynasty, was a Bachelor of Wuying Palace, and was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. title."

A series of appointments dazzled the ministers below. By the time they realized it, the figure of the Son of Heaven had disappeared from the palace...
