Jinyi champion

Chapter 1039
When Huang Jin conveyed Zhu Hao's meaning to Zhu Sihou.

Zhu Si suddenly realized.

Zhu Hao was reminding him that Yang Yiqing's position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials would have too many side effects. If he felt it was inappropriate, it didn't mean that Yang Yiqing would be sent back to his hometown right away. .

"That's right, after Yang entered the cabinet, he ranked fifth in the cabinet. What can he do? This is much better than leaving him in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Zhu Si is very happy.

When Yang Yiqing was called back to the court earlier, he was not said to be allowed to join the cabinet because he wanted to leave the position to Zhu Hao.

Now it is clear that Zhu Hao does not intend to join the cabinet, Zhu Si can't force it for a while, so he put Yang Yiqing in the cabinet, so that this guy will not use the power at hand to disturb the audience, so that his ears can be quiet, and at the same time, there is an old minister sitting in the court , isn't it also very good?

Zhang Zuo reminded: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xie Ge, what should I do?"

One sentence made the scene a little awkward.

Yes.

This time the ministers were recruited back to the court, not only Yang Yiqing was called, but also Xie Qian.

If Yang Yiqing enters the cabinet, what position should Xie Qian put him in after returning to the court?

As a minister of the Hanlin system, Xie Qian may only be a minister of the Ministry of Rites when he is a minister of the six books, but it is better to arrange Xie Qian into the cabinet, so as to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses. Who made him a famous minister in the Hongzhi Dynasty... But now the cabinet has There are four bachelors, and Yang Yiqing adds five more.

Should Xie Qian be the sixth person in the cabinet?
Huang Jin suggested: "Your Majesty, are there any veterans who need to step down from the current cabinet?"

Zhu Si immediately put on a straight face: "There are some things that you shouldn't ask about."

Huang Jin immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"But it makes sense."

Zhu Si pondered for a while, and then said, "There are currently four people in the cabinet, and there are too many people to do things. How efficient can it be? Mr. Tang has passed away, and there is no one from me in it. I think it's time to do some streamlining."

In fact, Zhang Zuo wanted to remind him that the current cabinet structure is quite good, and there is no need to move it.

Why do you have to listen to Zhu Hao and stuff Yang Yiqing in?
Now the four people are performing their duties, so what if there are no members of the Yili sect?

Who dares to have a dispute with the emperor?

Zhu Sidao: "Who should be asked to step down? I think that the position of chief assistant should be handed over to someone else?"

"His Majesty……"

Just as Zhang Zuo was about to say something, Zhu Si raised his hand to interrupt him, saying: "Of course the chief assistant must be old Fei Ge, whether it is Liu Chun, Shi Juan or Jia Yong, none of them have the ability to be the first assistant, let alone I will Let Shi Yu and Jia Yong be the chief assistants, and they don't stand by me in major matters, will I trust them?"

As a cabinet elder, he couldn't gain the emperor's trust, so why stay in the cabinet?

Zhang Zuo finally couldn't bear it and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you promote some of your own people to the cabinet earlier."

"Besides Jingdao, who else is suitable?"

Zhu Si was a little angry, "Even Huang Zan ran away. He might be very aggrieved in the cabinet. He has no hope of being the chief assistant, so he went to the Ministry of Households to be the secretary. But if he is allowed to be the secretary of the official department, he should be very satisfied. ?”

Zhang Zuo didn't know how to answer.

He could see it.

Both the emperor and Zhu Hao had some opinions on Huang Zan's position.

Huang Zan was obviously recommended by Zhu Hao to become the emperor's confidant, but as a result, this person of his own has always been at odds with the emperor, and often lost the chain on the issue of great etiquette. Because it can't handle anything.

It's good now, Huang Zan will hang out with Yang Yiqing directly...

But after Yang Yiqing entered the cabinet, he might be inferior to Huang Zan in status. At that time, the relationship between Huang Zan and Yang Yiqing should be redefined, and Yang Yiqing would listen to Huang Zan?

"That's it for now, Bachelor Shi is too old, let him retire later."

Zhu Si seemed to have finally figured it out.

The cabinet doesn't need two members of the "Protecting Ceremony", and no matter how unbearable Yang Yiqing is, he can be regarded as a member of the "Protecting Ceremony". Although Yang Yiqing only published some content in support of the Ceremony, he did not publicly express his support for the Ceremony.

But the emperor always felt that Yang Yiqing was too dictating when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

In this case, simply let Shi Ping go, and Yang Yiqing fills in.

Zhang Zuo hesitated and said, "Scholar Shi..."

"There is no such thing as Mr. Liu Ge, right? But no matter what you say, Mr. Liu Ge is also a person who respects the Tao. In the end, I will let him be the first assistant for a few days. It is also worthy of respect... If Mr. Liu Ge becomes an official, he should respect the Tao and hate me. What to do? Make a plan in this direction first! Go back and discuss with the ministers, let’s add more candidates to the cabinet!"

……

……

The emperor either did not add to the cabinet bachelor, or added two at a time.

When Zhu Si mentioned this matter at the court meeting the next day, many ministers were puzzled.

In the past one or two years, the cabinet can be said to be the place where the officials of the Ming Dynasty changed most frequently. The chief assistant alone has been changed twice in a row, and the cabinet ministers have been rotated one after another. where to go.

In general, the emperor tossed too much in the official positions of the Hanlin system.

The emperor's move was still noticed by many people. It was said that the position of the cabinet minister was reserved for Zhu Hao, rather it was reserved for Yang Yiqing.

Zhu Hao didn't even want to be a Hanlin scholar, so would he want to join the cabinet?Doesn't he know that he has insufficient qualifications and no one listens to him when he enters the cabinet?

"Old Huang, what do you think is the direction of this matter? Tell me and listen."

After the court was over, Huang Zan was surrounded by many people.

Now Huang Zan can be said to be an opinion leader in the court. The main reason is that there is only Huang Zan left in the Yili faction. The others are either dead or sent to the northwest to be some kind of Shaanxi chief envoy, or they are not at all like Zhu Hao. Just don't care.

The Yili faction is not Huang Zan's head, it must be him.

Huang Zan said: "Your Majesty's move is to set things right. The cabinet must be more rigorous in handling government affairs."

What Huang Zan meant was that the emperor seemed to be targeting the cabinet, but in fact he was targeting Shi Ping and Jia Yong.

Basically, one of these two will step down to make way for Yang Yiqing to join the cabinet.

Yang Yiqing is a school of rites. After entering the cabinet, he will vacate the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It is very likely that Huang Zan will take over. He has also been a minister, knowing that there is no hope of being the chief assistant, so he expects to be a minister of the official department, and return to his hometown after a glorious career.

While everyone was talking, many people gathered on Yang Yiqing's side.

Fei Hong and the others did not go all the way with these people, but went straight back to Wenyuan Pavilion.

After entering the value room, Liu Chun said with a smile: "It seems that Yang Butang and Huang Butang are very popular, and now they have gathered a group of people around them."

What Liu Chun said was purely ridiculing Yang Yiqing and Huang Zan for forming a party.

Now Liu Chun's position in the cabinet is a bit like Xie Qian of the Hongzhi Dynasty. He is funny and humorous. He is the lubricant for the harmonious coexistence of the old and new factions in the cabinet. He is also a Hanlin scholar. In terms of qualifications, he is compared to Shi Ping and Jia. Yong is slightly better than Fei Hong, and he is not inferior to Fei Hong.

No matter what his inclination is in the ceremony, the role he plays in the cabinet cannot be replaced by others.

Shi Ping said: "Could it be that the people in the court are all such people who follow the power?"

In words, Shi Jue looked down on Yang Yiqing and Huang Zan's actions.

Although Yang Yiqing is a veteran of the four dynasties, the problem is that Yang Yiqing and Yang Tinghe did not deal with each other. In Yang Yiqing's party, there are also former political enemies such as Wang Qiong, Lu Wan, and Wang Xian. It means that the grasshoppers on this rope have been strung together. With Yang Yiqing following the lead, the power began to flourish, and it was impossible to get together with the civil servants of the nursing school. Naturally, Yang Yiqing could not be simply classified as decent.

Fei Hongdao: "People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Those court officials who are eager to cling to are just looking for backing to ensure that they will not be swallowed by the trend of the times."

"This……"

Liu Chun couldn't understand.

It seems that you, Fei Hong, have a lot of opinions on Yang Yiqing.

Then it occurred to him that Fei Hong was actually most worried about Yang Yiqing's entry into the cabinet.

In terms of seniority, Fei Hong has a certain advantage among the four members of the current cabinet, but if Yang Yiqing is added, I am afraid that the four of them together will not be as prestigious as Yang Yiqing. Shang Shuhe, who once served as a great scholar in the Hall of Martial Arts, is full of peaches and plums in the court.

If Yang Yiqing performed extremely well in the cabinet, I believe it would not be long before the emperor would push down the top four cabinet members one by one, and finally Yang Yiqing would be the chief assistant.

After Shi Jue and Jia Yong went to work, Liu Chun moved closer to Fei Hong, and said with a smile, "I didn't say anything else, or gave you bad advice. Now you think... If Jing Dao can join the cabinet, would you agree?" Would it turn out better?"

"Um!?"

Fei Hong frowned.

Although Fei Hong was also very wary of Zhu Hao joining the cabinet, compared to Yang Yiqing, whether Zhu Hao joined the cabinet was really not that important.

Because Zhu Hao is not the kind of very powerful and pressured person, and his prestige in the court is not that high, even if he won the emperor's trust, Fei Hong would not be at a disadvantage in the fight with Zhu Hao.

But if Zhu Hao and Yang Yiqing entered the cabinet together, then there would be something special.

Now the four members of the cabinet are no match for Yang Yiqing, and what Yang Yiqing is most afraid of is Zhu Hao...

Zhu Hao didn't start his career by relying on his reputation, but relied on nothing but the absolute trust of the emperor.

and this……

It is precisely what Yang Yiqing does not possess.

This also explains why after Yang Yiqing entered the court, he did not target others, but focused on chasing and beating Zhu Haoqiong. It shows that his value in the court is average.

Now the problem also appeared, because Yang Yiqing was strong against Zhu Hao, the emperor saw that this was not going to work, so he directly transferred Yang Yiqing to the cabinet.

If there were still four people in the cabinet, I'm afraid that Yang Yiqing's ability and prestige would be inferior to him a little bit.

The only one who had a chance to challenge Yang Yiqing was still Zhu Hao.

But now Zhu Hao is only doing his job as a Hanlin scholar...

"Is there a way?"

Fei Hong is not talking nonsense.

He could tell that Liu Chun's plan was a brilliant one.

The only way to resolve the impact of Yang Yiqing's entry into the cabinet is to include Zhu Hao... But the problem is, isn't the cabinet structure too bloated?
