Jinyi champion

Chapter 969
Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

When Zhu Si asked about the vacancy of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, Xi Shu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came forward and reported: "Return to Your Majesty, it is right."

Zhu Si asked again: "Then, does the Ministry of Rites recommend someone to take over the position of the right servant?"

The ministers present felt that something was wrong. Why should the Minister of Rites recommend the position of Minister of Rites?
In fact, courtiers should uphold the principle of avoiding suspicion, and usually do not recommend deputy officials, so as not to be said to recommend their own people, so that they can have a talk in the yamen, so the emperor should try to avoid asking the Minister of Rites at this time, but now it seems that the emperor just wants to talk to Xi The book was publicly blended, and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites was handed over to someone from the Yili School.

"His Majesty……"

There was a censor who came out immediately, and it was Xia Yan, who had always been known for his honesty and honesty before.

Zhu Si raised his hand to interrupt Xia Yan's words.

But Zhu Si didn't continue to ask Xi Shu, but looked at Jiang Mian who was at the side, and asked, "Who does Mr. Jiang Ge recommend?"

Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment, but just raised the wat board and said nothing.

It seemed that it was a good deal, but at this critical moment, Jiang Mian also chose to avoid it, because there were some things that Jiang Mian really didn't want to say by himself.

Zhu Si smiled lightly and said: "You are not willing to say it, so I will propose it myself... I will use the Imperial Academy to compile Zhu Hao, and the Imperial Academy to serve as a bachelor, and also serve as the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Shifu and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. Do you have any opinions?"

"what!?"

Full of uproar.

If it is said that Zhang Cong was promoted to a Hanlin bachelor earlier, for the ministers present, he was expected, but unwilling.

Zhu Hao was suddenly promoted by the emperor, and all the ministers present were shocked and puzzled.

Zhu Hao?

Who is it?

A champion in the same discipline as Zhang Cong?

It has only been more than two years since he entered the court, right?Some time ago, it seemed to be quite active, but didn't they all disappear later?Has he not been released yet?
The position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites is so important, why let a little-known Zhu Hao take over?What can he do?

Qin Jin, Minister of the Household Department, came out and said, "Your Majesty, no! Absolutely no! Zhu Hao's time in the court is still short, and his seniority in the court is not enough. How can he take on this important task?"

He spoke the thoughts of many ministers present.

Many people want to say this, but they don't have the courage to stand up. Many people actually don't understand. Does Zhu Hao have anything to do with today's rivalry between monarchs and ministers?
Or did the emperor deliberately let a nonsense person come out to try his mouth first?

For the vast majority of ministers, it is not suitable for them to come out to oppose before they have a clear view of the situation, because such nonsense... There will always be someone who will stand up for them.

Zhu Sidao: "Zhu Hao used to be a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, so it was appropriate to deal with the matter of discussing ceremonies, especially when it came to the matter of my pursuit of the title of Emperor Kao, it was proposed by him. It is in this court, have you forgotten the matter?" ?”

And this thing?

The ministers present recalled it carefully. At that time, Zhu Hao proposed to posthumously designate Zhu Youzhao as "Zhensheng Huangkao". Most ministers only remembered that it was the result of a compromise between the monarch and his ministers, and they really didn't care much about who proposed it.

Later, Zhu Hao disappeared, as if he was being punished. Neither the emperor nor the orthodox civil servants took Zhu Hao seriously anymore, because Zhu Hao had done something unflattering.

Zhu Hao's proposal not only did not realize the emperor's intention of chasing King Xingxian as the emperor's examination, but also broke the principle of non-concession among civil servants about great gifts. things in.

But it is this kind of marginalized character who is now going to be a bachelor of the Imperial Academy and concurrently serve as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites?

What routine?
Huang Zan came out and said, "Zhu Jingdao has not been an official for a long time, but he is quite principled in dealing with people, and it is rare to be unbiased in discussing ceremonies. I am afraid that it will not be easy to choose the right person. Your Majesty makes an exception and appoints people on merit, which is a model of a Mingjun."

This ass...

Many people want to ask, did you, Huang Zan, rely on flattery to get to the top?

How do we remember, you seem to be a practical man?

Sure enough, after entering the cabinet through the discussion of rites, this guy didn't even talk about principles. You said that the little-known Zhu Hao was the best candidate for the right servant of the Ministry of Rites?
You are really giving our civil servants a face.

Zhu Si looked at Jiang Mian and said, "Elder Huang Ge's reminder is exactly what I want, but I am not a self-willed person. Do you know what Elder Jiang Ge's opinion is?"

Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment, probably knowing that if he didn't make a statement, today would be a failure.

Because the emperor needed his attitude before leaving, telling the civil officials present that they should compromise on this matter instead of continuing to argue.

Together with all civil servants, they are waiting for his opinion.

Jiang Mian said: "The old minister seconded the proposal."

"Wow!"

There was an uproar again.

Even Yang Tinghe's designated heir to the political legacy, the well-known Shoufu University scholar in the imperial court, agrees with the emperor's ridiculous and nonsensical employment decision?

Is the Ming Dynasty coming to an end?
Before others stood up to object, Zhu Si suddenly seemed angry, looked around at the ministers present and said: "Who else has an objection, just come out to object, but at the same time, you must recommend a suitable candidate for me. Otherwise, I will not open my mouth!"

The emperor literally threatened his ministers face to face.

This trick actually didn't work. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty have always been known for their iron heads, but at this time, no one really came out to say anything, mainly because... they still don't understand the situation.

Why did the emperor personally recommend officials? I don't understand!

Why Huang Zan blows rainbow farts is also incomprehensible!

Why did Jiang Mian agree?
They couldn't understand what was discussed at the inner court meeting yesterday!

And to a certain extent, finding a marginalized person with little strength to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites would be the same as Tang Yin being a Hanlin scholar, and it was not unacceptable for civil servants.

Is it really a good job to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites?
When the imperial court's great ceremonies are stalemate to the climax, who will be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, isn't that bearing historical infamy?
Could it be that the emperor will agree to stand up and recommend an orthodox minister who criticizes the ritual school to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites?Will it be of essential help to the outcome of the ceremony?

Seeing that the ministers present seemed to be very knowledgeable, Zhu Si looked at Tang Yin and asked: "Mr. Tang, you have known me for a long time, and you and Zhu Haojian have known each other for a long time. What do you think of my proposal?"

When Tang Yin heard it, did he still need to say it?
What a proposal!
Let that kid Zhu Jingdao hide behind the scenes every day and point fingers, and this time you won't be allowed to switch from behind the scenes to the front stage?Now I can finally sit back and relax!
From now on, whoever likes to come to discuss affairs in this court will come!
Tang Yindao: "I believe that although Zhu Jingdao has not been in the Jinshi examination for a long time, he is loyal to the country and conscientious..."

In the court hall, people from the Hanlin Academy system were most ashamed to hear this.

Are you shameless, Tang Yin?

We know that Zhu Jingdao is your disciple, but you can't open your eyes and talk nonsense, that kid... just like you, he is a lazy bastard in his position!
You actually have the nerve to use words like "conscientious" to describe him?

"...I think you can give him a chance."

Tang Yin summed it up for a long time, and didn't say whether he supported it, but said that the emperor would appreciate it.

The ministers present seemed to understand that the reason why Zhu Hao was able to jump directly to the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites as a small person was because... he had a big backer to support him.

As the emperor's teacher, Tang Yin is now a Hanlin scholar, and everyone can see how lazy Tang Yin is. Perhaps Tang Yin needs an agent to complete the ceremony for him, and Tang Yin has no principle in employing people. It can be said that he "does what he wants" ", even Tang Yin didn't need to give the emperor face, he really did it, to the point where I want to use whoever I want, and recommend whomever I want to recommend.

Probably, Tang Yin recommended Zhu Hao to the emperor.

Then the emperor thought, let's try with Zhu Hao.

Because most ministers can't understand the emperor's arrangement, they can only think so.

Zhu Sidao: "Everyone, if you have any disagreements, please reserve it first. This position will not be retained for a long time. I am also making an expedient measure. In the future, Zhu Jingdao will... have another appointment. Let's discuss it today. this."

The emperor's words sounded like there was a turning point, but it seemed like he didn't say anything.

Even if the emperor didn't say anything, the ministers present knew that whoever served as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites would not last long, because the final chapter of the ceremony would be ushered in soon, and this job was definitely not thankful.

Probably this is the same as the errands that Zhu Hao took on before. If there is any hard work in the court, if there is any unflattering job, let him do it. .

……

……

The meeting is over.

Jiang Mian successfully became an official. When the emperor left, all the ministers surrounded him and expressed their reluctance to Jiang Mian.

Many people feel confused for a while, because Jiang Mian's departure means that the transition period from the Zhengde Dynasty to the Jiajing Dynasty has officially come to an end, and the old officials are all embarrassed, especially those who are the backbone of the Yang Tinghe faction, and who used to only obey Yang Tinghe's orders. And people who didn't take the emperor's will seriously.

Jiang Mian expressed his gratitude to those present.

Yang Shen didn't say anything to Jiang Mian, and he didn't expect it to happen so suddenly, and what shocked him was not Jiang Mian's retirement, but Zhu Hao's extraordinary promotion as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

If he is just the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, he can understand it, after all, it is a thankless job, but Zhu Hao is serving as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites concurrently with the position of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu. Hao is tantamount to saying that the official position has jumped to him, Yang Shen.

"Use repair."

Shi Ping appeared next to Yang Shen.

Yang Shen looked at Shi Pang, frowned and asked, "So Shibutang, you're going to join the cabinet soon, right?"

Shi Pang said: "I don't mean that."

A secretive smile appeared on Yang Shen's face.

What about a liar?
The emperor said that one of the two Hanlin scholars should be selected to join the cabinet. This is probably the reason why Jiang Mian backed down, and you have more seniority than Fengxi. If you follow the traditional promotion standards for civil servants, of course you, Shi Ping, will join the cabinet. After all You have been Minister of the Ministry of Officials, if it is not your turn to enter the cabinet this time, you have only one way to go to become an official.

It is equivalent to saying that Jiang Mian is exchanging your career prospects for concessions to the emperor.

It can even be understood as.

Because of you, the order of the Ming court is in chaos!

You are Daming's sinner!
Still dare not admit it?
