Chapter 1041 A Wonderful Arrangement

The new Hanlin scholar Zhu Hao has never appeared in the Hanlin Academy since he took office, and the two former Hanlin scholars Zhang Cong and Jia Yong were transferred to other places and transferred to the cabinet.

Even the matter of compiling books was in a state of leaderless for a while.

There was no way, Li Tingxiang, Gu Dingchen and others jointly signed the petition, requesting the emperor to arrange the affairs of the Imperial Academy, especially to determine who would be in charge of the academy.

It is not necessary for the Hanlin Academy to be in charge of the academy, and it is not impossible to serve as a student and lecturer. It is impossible to leave the position of the Imperial Academy in charge as it is now. Is it true that the people of the Imperial Academy are not regarded as courtiers?

After Zhu Si received the feedback, he did not urge Zhu Hao, but raised an issue at the court meeting the next day to select new Hanlin Bachelor candidates.

"...I mentioned it before, but now it's just a rehash of old things. If you don't have any objections, let Gui E take care of it."

Zhu Si had a firm attitude, and he directly promoted Gui E to become a Hanlin scholar without discussing with others.

This aroused great dissatisfaction among officials from the Hanlin system, but before they had time to express their objection, Xi Shu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out first and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Hanlin bachelors are related to the court system, and should be presented by experienced veterans. Go to lead, and I recommend Yang Yiqing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

"what?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was inexplicably shocked.

There have been rumors of Yang Yiqing joining the cabinet for a long time. Before he returned to the capital, someone had mentioned that this time Yang Yiqing would most likely join the cabinet when he returned to the court. To serve.

Now that Yang Yiqing does not join the cabinet, he is recommended to be a Hanlin scholar in the Imperial Academy...

Interested people will naturally think that this is a good idea.

Yang Yiqing's entry into the cabinet is only the fifth member of the Imperial Academy, behind Fei Hong, Liu Chun, Shi Ping and Jia Yong, so what's the point of joining the cabinet?

On the contrary, if he was transferred to the Imperial Academy, he could not only check and balance Zhu Hao, but also lead the Imperial Academy. Moreover, Yang Yiqing was also a member of the "Yili School".

Moreover, whenever one of the four members of the cabinet wants to step down, it is basically Yang Yiqing who steps up.

Compared with the lower position after entering the cabinet, it is actually better to stay in the Imperial Academy than to enter the cabinet.

Zhu Si pondered for a while and asked: "My dear family, do you have any opinions?"

Obviously, Xi Shu's proposal moved Zhu Si.

Zhu Si pondered for a while, Yang Yiqing was always making trouble for him, and frequently challenged Zhu Hao, so it would be impossible for him to stay in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Although this person may cause troubles to Zhu Hao if he enters the Hanlin Academy, at least his ears are clean for the time being.

Even if Yang Yiqing targeted Zhu Hao again, as long as Zhu Hao didn't go to the Imperial Academy, what could he do to Zhu Hao?

When Yang Yiqing was transferred to the Hanlin Academy as a Hanlin bachelor, the emperor did not ask Yang Yiqing what he thought, but only asked the officials present what they thought, but did not get any response.

It's understandable if you think about it, whether it's the four members of the cabinet, the officials of the Hanlin Academy, or the people from the six ministries and five temples, they all have the same idea... It's good for Yang Yiqing to go to the Imperial Academy.

Although Yang Yiqing is a veteran of the four dynasties with outstanding abilities, the biggest problem is that he is not a civil servant leader in the traditional sense. The civil servant leader should be inherited from the system of Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, and Jiang Mian, and his successors should be Shi Ping and Jia Yong. , How could it not be Yang Yiqing's turn.

You, Yang Yiqing, are a member of the "Yili School". You have publicly expressed your support for Zhang Cong. How can we convince you?
It is better than anything else that you go to the Hanlin Academy to be your academic scholar.

"If the Qing family has no objections, then the Yang Qing family will first serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and concurrently serve as a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and be responsible for discussing ceremonies. After other things are arranged, they will make the final decision on their official position! That's it."

Zhu Si is tantamount to making a decision at that time.

"His Majesty!"

Yang Yiqing gave up when he heard it.

It's not that he has any opinions on entering the Imperial Academy as a Hanlin Bachelor, but that he has opinions on his going to the Imperial Academy to discuss ceremonies, and he can't accept that he can be an Imperial Academy at the same time.

Does this mean that...

The allusion that Zhu Hao occupied the latrine and didn't shit before was used on him?

Zhu Sidao: "Yang Qing's family, you are a veteran of the four dynasties. You should understand that the current court is in the midst of employing people. You can help me stabilize the court in the position of official minister and Hanlin bachelor. You don't have to worry about not being able to complete the errand. Believe in you. Just be it!"

It's like saying that Yang Yiqing's objection that he hadn't had time to raise was pushed back.

Yang Yiqing was extremely annoyed.

But under such oppression by the emperor, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to retreat to the court with a dark face.

……

……

At the end of the morning court, a bunch of people went over to congratulate Yang Yiqing.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a Bachelor of the Hanlin, although he is only a scholar of the Imperial Academy, it is enough to favor him. More importantly, there is no one at the helm of the Imperial Academy. In name, the emperor asked Zhu Hao to be in charge of the academy, but Zhu Hao didn’t even face it. Don't reveal it, the emperor won't give you the position of a bachelor in charge of the academy, and if you go, those Hanlin can only listen to you.

But Shi Yu, Jia Yong and others expressed concern about this.

After the four cabinet ministers returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, Jia Yong frowned and said, "If Yang Yingning leads the ceremony, I'm afraid it will win a lot of people's hearts."

This is the biggest worry of the guards.

Originally, the Yili School only had lucky ministers like Zhang Cong, Gui E, Xi Shu, Huang Zan, and Tang Yin. Even if they had some influence, they could only rely on the support of the emperor to support them. Can't become mainstream.

But with the blessing of Yang Yiqing, who is full of peaches and plums, with his great prestige in the court, I am afraid that many people will turn their backs and join the Yili sect.

Liu Chun said with a smile: "I think what we should be worried about is not his winning people's hearts, but seeking opportunities to join the cabinet after occupying the position of Hanlin Bachelor? I don't know if His Majesty will choose him or Jingdao when he looks for someone to join the cabinet next time? "

While speaking, Liu Chun looked at Fei Hong.

The fact that Yang Yiqing became a Hanlin scholar actually had a great influence on Fei Hong.

If Yang Yiqing enters the cabinet right now, he will only be ranked behind the four people, and will not be influential for a while, but if he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and concurrently a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, he will have the power of personnel and the power of making imperial records and books. The prime minister is no different... This influence is overwhelming.

Fei Hongdao: "What has Jingdao been doing recently?"

Earlier, Liu Chun suggested to Fei Hong to recruit Zhu Hao into the cabinet. Fei Hong was worried that he would lure wolves into the house.

Now it looks like it has to be done.

It is best to let Zhu Hao and Yang Yiqing fight against each other, and Fei Hong sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, and reaps the benefits of the fisherman.

Liu Chun sighed: "Bohu's funeral in Beijing has just ended, and he has no son. Jingdao has been helping to manage it. After sending Bohu's coffin away, Jingdao can handle the affairs around him with peace of mind. But it seems that he is very concerned about the affairs of the Imperial Academy. Doesn't seem to care."

Shi Jue who was standing next to him asked, "A dignified academician, who doesn't want to be on court errands?"

Liu Chundao: "Actually, Bohu's and Jingdao's temperaments are almost in the same line. Wasn't Bohu like this back then?"

Shi Yu thought about it, and it really is.

Earlier, I felt that Tang Yin was hypocritical, that he would not use power even if he had power, and insisted on being a loose person.

It was only later that I gradually discovered that Tang Yin really didn't care to be a Hanlin scholar or cabinet elder. Tang Yin only wanted to have a title. As for daily work, Tang Yin shrank back. Neither the Hanlin Academy nor the cabinet seemed to have such a person.

"Then... what is Jingdao's plan?"

Fei Hong asked again.

Liu Chun thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe Jing Dao Yixin is in Xishan and other places, continuing to mine, or building railways and trains, or building ships to level up with pirates. I haven't heard that he has other ambitions. Otherwise, why don't you go to the door and ask him yourself?"

In fact, Fei Hong also wanted to meet with Zhu Hao and reach a cooperation with him.

In terms of prestige in the court, Fei Hong was not worried about Zhu Hao at all.

But when it comes to the emperor's trust, Fei Hong knows that he is far from Zhu Hao. What's more, the people around the emperor vaguely follow Zhu Hao's lead. Even Liu Chun is usually joking, but he is cautious when it comes to Zhu Hao. This fully shows that Liu Chun trained Zhu Hao as the successor of the chief minister of the cabinet.

"As a scholar of the Imperial Academy, you should take the errands of the Imperial Academy as your own responsibility. Renzhong, if you go to urge him more, you can take my note."

Fei Hong would not pay a visit.

Meeting Zhu Hao in an open manner, he was suspected of forming a party for personal gain. Although Fei Hong felt that Yang Yiqing was a greater threat to him, he would rather let Liu Chun approach Zhu Hao. Even if Zhu Hao couldn't be persuaded, he would let Zhu Hao know his Attitude... He didn't intend to compete with Zhu Hao, he just didn't want Yang Yiqing's entry into the cabinet to threaten his position as chief assistant.

……

……

Yang Yiqing became a scholar of the Imperial Academy, but he did not step down as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This made a person in the court very anxious.

That is Huang Zan.

Huang Zan waited wholeheartedly for Yang Yiqing to enter the cabinet, and vacated the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so that he could enjoy the preferential treatment of Minister of the Ministry of Officials for a few days before retiring. As a result, the emperor made a compromise after the court meeting. Yang Yiqing's failure to join the cabinet was just too much. The appointment of a Hanlin bachelor, who is still a minister of the Ministry of officials, must have something to say.

Maybe the emperor just didn't want Huang Zan to get what he wanted on purpose?
When Huang Zan was at a loss, he thought of asking Zhu Hao for advice. He knew very well that the only person other than the emperor who could influence the course of this matter was Zhu Hao.

It's a pity that Huang Zan himself didn't want to get too close to Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao was already a target of public criticism in the court. If he came to the door rashly, he might attract criticism from the officials, so he asked Su Xigui to ask to see him on his behalf.

In fact, Huang Zan himself has not seen Su Xigui for a long time. Even though he is now the Secretary of the Household Department, Su Xigui has almost no dependence on him. Now Su Xigui relies on the business given by Zhu Hao, ranging from running a bank to opening a mine, Coal smelting, iron smelting, and machinery manufacturing, as well as factories for spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and mills, were established. On the contrary, the official salt business, which was mainly engaged in the past, is no longer the main business because the market price is not high.

The common people can basically afford salt now, and salt seems to be no longer in short supply for a while, and the business of official salt is getting harder and harder.

Su Xigui didn't rely on Huang Zan to attract him, he just followed Zhu Hao wholeheartedly.

Hearing Huang Zan say that he was still a little bit reluctant to talk to Zhu Hao.

For Huang Zan, everything is a business. Now that Huang Zan can't give me anything, you still ask me to work for you?
Even brother-in-law didn't discuss it.

It was agreed that it was over for you to join the cabinet at the beginning, and later you helped you run the Ministry of Households for free, and now you want to get involved in the Ministry of Officials, is it endless?
