Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 821 One by one

There are some rewards that do not need to be discussed, such as Yu Shiyue and others, they are just gold, silver and silk, and everyone envies them, but they will not say much.

However, some rewards need to be carefully considered.

such as……

"Your Majesty, I think that Shen Jing's initiative is the most important among the three. If Shen Jing hadn't made such an initiative, His Highness the Crown Prince's departure from the cabinet would have been delayed for a long time, and he must be rewarded."

"Shen Jing's meritorious service should be promoted to a higher level. Now Shen Jing is a fifth-rank car driver. He is a Jinshi in the first year of Zhengtong. He has been an official for more than ten years. He is also familiar with government affairs. A commoner, after entering Beijing, he successively served as the head of the Ministry of War, Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, and doctor of the Ministry of War, with solid political achievements and a dignified conduct."

"In addition, Shen Jing was rewarded for his meritorious service in advocating the crown prince. Therefore, the minister thought that Shen Jing could be promoted to the rank of fourth-rank Zhan Shi Fu Shao Zhan Shi to show the great kindness of the emperor."

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Wen did his part and was the first to step forward and speak.

However, these remarks made all the elders on the side speechless for a while.

This dead old man is really not afraid of people saying that he is nepotism.

Looking up and down, no one knows that this Shen Jing was pulled up by him.

It's true that Shen Jing's merits, it's not a problem that he should be promoted to a higher level, since he is the first person to leave the cabinet, there is no problem in being elected to the East Palace.

However, you have been promoted from the fifth grade to the fourth grade, not by one level, but by two levels, not to mention, you are in a position like Shao Zhan Shi.

It is not an exaggeration to say that with this level of experience, he will be an official in the Ministry, and a third-rank servant is safe.

This is a shining super promotion!

After the words fell, Yu Qian who was on the side couldn't sit still, got up and said.

"Your Majesty, the merits of the first initiative are solid, but Shen Jing has only been promoted from a fifth-rank official wailang to a fifth-rank doctor in less than half a year. The reward of Yin Feng is to reward him for his meritorious service."

Wen Xun's plus Yin seal is not a light reward, but it is obviously a bit of a treat.

However, Yu Qian had no choice. Now that the Ministry of War is at a critical moment, it cannot be separated from people. Shen Jing was the first person to participate in the planning of the regulations for the rectification of the army. At this time, it is not a good thing to transfer him away.

More importantly, Shen Jing's status is different from that of an ordinary doctor. He and Li Shi are two people, one was promoted by Wang Wen, and the other was promoted by the emperor.

The two of them are in the military department, in fact, to a large extent, they are to check and balance Yu Qian.

At the beginning, after Yu Qian patrolled the border, he felt deeply that the military settlements on the border were corrupt, and he was determined to rectify the military settlements, so the first thing he did was to hold the military department firmly in the palm of his hand.

That court meeting can be said to be one of the few risky moves Yu Qian has taken since he became an official.

A little carelessness will result in the loss of fame and status. Although the result is good, it is because of the firm support of the emperor.

But even so, it is impossible for all of Yu Qian's cronies to be the highest administrative institution of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of War, one of the six ministries.

Whether it is to calm the public opinion of the ruling and opposition parties, or other considerations, the Ministry of War always needs to have different voices and eyes.

This is the role of Shen Jing and Li Shi.

As we all know, although Yu Qian and Wang Wen belong to the Son of Heaven Party, their relationship has never been good.

Yu Qian despises Wang Wen's stinky and tough temper, but he behaves like the emperor, and Wang Wen also despises Yu Qian's lofty demeanor of serving the country and the people every day.

In short, the two often clashed in many court affairs. At the beginning, Wang Wen was still worried about the emperor's favor for Qian, but after a long time, he found that the emperor would not deliberately favor Yu Qian, so he simply let go of his confrontation with Yu Qian. Collide.

Although it is not enough to stab at the same as others, but after all, the differences between the two on many government affairs are not concealed at all.

In addition, Shen Jing also has another important role in the Ministry of War, which is to be responsible for the communication with the staff. Once Shen Jing is transferred, it will be difficult for the subordinates to communicate with many things. Yu Qian has to come forward in person. .

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Yu Qian will definitely not let Shen Jing leave at this time.

"Take it easy!"

Wang Wen is a person who protects the calf, not to mention that he has a bad relationship with Yu Qian, at this time, seeing Yu Qian come out to 'block' Shen Jing's promotion path, he is naturally very unhappy, said.

"Your Majesty, Shen Jing's promotion from Wai Lang, a member of the examination department, to a doctor in the driving department is a normal promotion, not because of merit. Therefore, it does not conflict with this time's reward for merit. If he is promoted because of merit, he must pay attention to his age How is that different from normal elections?"

"Furthermore, the meritorious service of being the first to leave the court is extraordinary. It is the heavenly family's reward for the meritorious officials. If seniority is used to restrict them, wouldn't it appear that your majesty is mean and ungrateful?"

"In my opinion, Yu Shaobao is afraid of delaying the affairs of the Ministry of War, so he doesn't want to let him go!"

What he said really deserves to be Wang Wen...

It has to be said that the general truth will always become so ugly when it comes to the mouth of this lord Tianguan.

Of course, ugly sounds are ugly, but reason can't find anything wrong.

Strictly speaking, the merits of initiating registration, leaving the court, crowning marriage, following the dragon, and supporting the establishment are essentially benevolent to the Tian family, so when discussing merit, it is actually a reward from the Tian family.

Since it is the Tian Family's reward, then it has to be generous, otherwise, how can the subordinates continue to serve the Tian Family?
Everyone understands this truth, but when Wang Wen said it, it was inexplicably full of gunpowder.

Sure enough, when these words came out, even the emperor's face was not very good-looking, and he couldn't help coughing lightly.

At this moment, Wang Wen calmed down, and clasped his hands.

"Your Majesty, the minister's words are unscrupulous, please forgive me!"

Zhu Qiyu glared at Wang Wen lightly, then looked at Yu Qian with an ugly face, and said.

"The Ministry of War is at the critical moment of rectifying the military settlements. At this time, the transfer of officials from the Ministry of War will indeed hinder the government's affairs. I understand Mr. Yu's concerns."

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. At this time, as the emperor, he has no choice but to be the peacemaker.

First, he comforted Yu Qian with a few words, then Zhu Qiyu changed the subject and said.

"However, what the heavenly official said is also reasonable. It is no small thing to be the first to advocate for leaving the cabinet. If he is not promoted, there will inevitably be discussions among the outside world."

"Since the heavenly official said to let Shen Jing go to the East Palace to do Shao Zhan's affairs, Zhu Qing has no objection, then it will be done as it is."

"However, in order not to affect the general policy of rectifying the military settlements, Shen Jing can be allowed to enter the East Palace after this matter is over. Before that, how about letting him concurrently serve as the Chancellor of Zhan Shi's Mansion?"

This was a compromise, although he was still reluctant, but the emperor opened his mouth, and if he refused again, he would be ignorant of flattery.

Therefore, Yu Qian had no choice but to bow his hands.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

In fact, to put it bluntly, the most difficult part of Shen Jing's official position is that he must be promoted without being transferred from the military department.

There is a huge conflict in the middle, that is, under the Ministry of War, in addition to the minister, there are four officials who are cleared.

The kaogongsi doctor is the fifth grade, but the assistant minister is the third grade.

Although the merit of the initiative is heavy, it is not enough to be promoted to the fourth level, but also to cross a big threshold from the fourth to the third rank. Throughout the dynasties, only Xiang Wenyao, who was envied and hated a while ago, has this kind of luck .

However, this Xiang Shilang has worked solidly in the position of doctor for several years. In addition, the exams are top-notch, and there are various chances and coincidences. pie.

However, even so, Xiang Wenyao was quite criticized in the court, and many people thought he was the lucky one.

But now, the imperial court has gradually recovered from the huge impact of the Civil War, so it is naturally impossible to replicate this kind of super-exaltation.

If you can't be promoted to be a servant, then if you want to be promoted, you have to go outside the Ministry of War. This is the biggest problem.

The emperor's method can be considered as a balance between the two sides, but in essence, he still supports Wang Wen's opinion and wants to transfer people to Zhan Shifu.

It's just that he will serve as the fifth-rank mansion first, and then he will be promoted after the affairs of the Ministry of War are over.

Of course, Shen Jing's problem is still a trivial matter, and the more difficult ones are yet to come!
In the final analysis, although Shen Jing made the most contribution, he is regarded as the emperor's party, no matter what, the emperor will not treat him badly.

And, more importantly, Shen Jing's rewards are more or less important, and they will not offend the emperor.

But the two people behind, Zhu Jian and Zhu Yi, were less pleasing to the emperor than the other.

Not to mention Zhu Yi, this little father-in-law is simply daring. First, he blatantly stood in line during the Spring Hunt, and after the Spring Hunt was over, he dragged Hu Wei to stop Dongchang from entering Nangong.

Over the past few days, Dongchang has often found this young master unlucky. Among them, if there is no acquiescence from the emperor, everyone will never believe it.

As for Zhu Jian, the emperor's impression of him is probably not good.

Although he did not publicly speak for the Supreme Emperor, and it was the emperor's will to send him out of the capital to welcome the Supreme Emperor back then, but this old Zhu Ge, after returning to Beijing, behaved too much.

I didn't see Li Shi and Luo Qi, and they were promoted based on their merits in welcoming back the Supreme Emperor, but Luo Qi was honest, and Li Shi was regarded as the emperor's confidant.

The difference is that after Zhu Jian returned to Beijing, he jumped up and down quite a bit.

First, he always opposed Yu Shiyue, who was the second assistant, and made the cabinet restless. Later, he advocated preparing a mansion for the East Palace at the court. He was beaten like chicken and eggs, and his reputation was ruined.

That's not to mention, later, when Zhu Yi played the young army, he also got in the way. If there was a candidate for the most unpopular candidate in the cabinet, then it must be Zhu Jian.

In fact, in a cabinet that relies most on the emperor's grace, Zhu Ge's ability to stay until now is enough to make the boss silently admire the emperor's mind countless times.

Therefore, everyone is naturally cautious about Zhu Jian and Zhu Yi's awards.

However, there are those who don't believe in evil, after the matter of Shen Jing is temporarily settled, one person from the cabinet will come out, said.

"Your Majesty, I think that now that the crown prince has left the court, Zhu Ge, the elder who initiated the preparation of the mansion, has to reward him. In addition, it is inappropriate for Yu Cifu to add the rank of the crown prince's junior teacher to Zhan Shifu as Zhan Shifu. Add the titles of Yu Cifu and Zhu Gelao to Prince Taifu and Prince Taibao respectively."

"In addition, Xiao Yi, a scholar of the Hanlin University and a scholar of Youchunfang University, has been suspended from the government due to the fraud case. In order not to delay the prince's government affairs, Zhuge can be ordered to concurrently serve as a scholar of Youchunfang University in order to pay for his merits. "

Who is this?
Are you so brave?
Everyone looked forward suspiciously, but saw that before they spoke, it was Jiang Yuan who had just recommended a cabinet minister who could not succeed with Shao Zhan!

As a result, many ministers subconsciously looked at Chen Xun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

That means, Chen Shangshu, how do you discipline your students?
At the same time, Chen Xun couldn't help frowning tightly.

In fact, he and Jiang Yuan have had a falling out since the case of the palace examination last time.

However, due to the consideration of face and the situation in the court, the two just didn't have any contact and didn't publicize the matter.

But now it seems that this can no longer continue.

Otherwise, Jiang Yuan will be responsible for everything he did!

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, under the gaze of everyone, Chen Xun stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

Since you want to make a statement, you must be firm.

Chen Xun knew very well that everyone present did not speak, it was to save face for him, so at this time, his attitude must be clear.

Arching his hands, Chen Xun turned to Jiang Yuan and Zhu Jian at the side, and took the lead directly.

"I think that Zhu Ge, the old man in the cabinet, has no merit, so naturally, there is no mention of meritorious service!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the elders suddenly became a little excited.

Especially Zhu Jian on the side, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression suddenly sank.

No one thought that as soon as Chen Xun came up, he would play a game of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot. He didn't even say whether the reward was suitable or not, and he just gave up the bottom line.

Relatively speaking, the emperor's face was quite calm, and asked.

"What does Chen Shangshu mean by this?"

So, Chen Xun saluted again and bowed his hands.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that the crown prince is young and weak, and he will leave the court without preparing a mansion. This is decided by the court, not by His Majesty. However, after Mr. Zhu Ge returned to Beijing, regardless of the conclusion of the court deliberation, it would be detrimental to leave the court without preparing the mansion. Your Majesty's reputation is the reason to forcibly stir up wind and rain in the court."

"This move caused unrest in the government and the people, and the family in the sky, but in the end, it was only for the future of Zhu Yongming alone. His Majesty is lenient and considers his contribution to welcoming back the Supreme Emperor, so don't care about it. Calling it meritorious service would be distasteful."

"Back then, Zhu Jian made such a disturbance in order to enter the East Palace and seek an official position. His Highness the Crown Prince is still young, how can he keep such a person with bad morals by his side?"

"East Palace is an official, and morality is the first priority. If you recommend such people to enter the East Palace, if you don't know the people, you are hiding evil intentions. Please learn from your Majesty!"

Ah this...

No one expected that when Chen Xun opened his mouth, he would speak such sharp words.

Turning over the old score, let's not talk about exposing the scars. This last sentence is almost pointing his nose and scolding Jiang Yuan for harboring evil intentions.

You know, it is not surprising if this kind of evaluation appears in the mouth of political opponents, but it is extraordinary if it comes from Chen Xun, Jiang Yuan's mentor.

When did this Master Shangshu who was born in Qingliu become so angry...
