My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 92 Newly Appointed Chief Envoy (New Year's First Update)
Zhu Di continued to add officials to Xu Jingchang, and the benefits seemed to be free of money.Of course it didn't come out of thin air. In fact, Xu Jingchang helped Zhu Di too much, and many things still couldn't be put on the table.

For example, the existence of Xu Jingchang sheltered Sheng Yong, kept peace, maintained the dignity of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, and suppressed the arrogance of Qiu Fu, Wang Ning and others, which can be regarded as maintaining the balance of the court.

Let Zhu Di be able to walk on two legs.

What's even more powerful is that Xu Jingchang wandered among the several princes, not only making the eldest a prince, but also suppressing the ambition of the second, so that Zhu Di's backyard wouldn't catch fire.

Only with the balance of the government and the harmony of the family can we vigorously rectify the fiscal and taxation.

Xu Jingchang sacrificed a whole Spring Festival, forcing all the officials to issue military orders, and finally put the Ming Dynasty on the right track.

Having said so much, it doesn't include Xu Jingchang's credit for cleaning up old officials such as Ru Yu, and his dissuading Zhu Di, narrowing the scope of Jing Nan's attack, and maintaining the dignity of the royal family...

All these things, one by one, are all recorded in Zhu Di's heart, and he must reward Xu Jingchang.

He even said that as long as Xu Jingchang was unwilling, Zhu Di would not be able to take him down, which was why Empress Xu went to see Xu Jingchang in advance.

Empress Xu took it all in, saying that Zhu Di didn't dare to refuse her request, maybe she was sending a message for Zhu Di... It's hard to explain all the things in it all at once.

Now that Xu Jingchang is willing to step down, Zhu Di must satisfy him, otherwise, who will do things for you Emperor Zhu!

Xu Jingchang is not happy or sad, thank the emperor.

Just when the big guy thought it was over, Zhu Di said again: "Xu Jingchang, you have been in the General Administration Department for a year, and you must have some experience. How do you think you can do a good job as the General Administration Commissioner? You might as well talk to me and let me know what you are doing." There are a few, who should take over the post of co-administrator next."

broken!

To die.

This question is ten times more serious than giving Xu Jingchang a bunch of positions, because it means that Xu Jingchang can recommend the next envoy.

In other words, Xu Jingchang did not lose control of the General Secretary.

They took great risks to get rid of Xu Jingchang, but in the end they failed with one punch, and things backfired...

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Jian Yi, looked solemn, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Xia Yuanji, was dumbfounded, and the rest of the officials were all shocked.Instead of getting rid of Xu Jingchang, it made him stronger.

Killing is not killing, but turning into revenge, with this kid's character, why don't you liquidate the big guy?

The more the courtiers thought about it, the more afraid they became, and the more panicked they became.

But when the monarchs and ministers talk to each other, they don't give them a chance to interrupt at all, so they can only say nothing.

Xu Jingchang considered it for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, in the final analysis, the Secretary of the General Administration is still in charge of official documents, in charge of the memorandum and inscriptions, and is responsible for clearing up and down. Not good, it is not suitable for the position of Tongzheng envoy, which is also reasonable. Secondly, Tongzheng envoy communicates internally and externally, must be familiar with the situation in the palace, and also understand the court officials, so as to facilitate communication, especially to make His Majesty trust, the emperor's close ministers It's more appropriate."

The emperor's close minister!

These four words are too important. There are only a few people who can be called the emperor's close ministers, and there are even fewer people who can take on the position of political envoy.

Sure enough, Xu Jingchang said again: "Currently, the general government envoys participate in the ten-day meeting and discuss the important affairs of the court. It is true that ordinary officials are not good enough. It is best to have enough rank and status, at least to be above the third rank, and to be transferred at the same level. Don't overpromote, in order to convince the public. .”

When it comes to this, anyone who is not a fool can hear it.

Xie Jin!

He is in the cabinet, an absolute close minister of the emperor.

With outstanding literary talent, a well-known talent in the world can deal with mere official documents, so it's no problem.

He has been in the court for some years, and has contacts with the six departments and nine ministers, so he can be regarded as a courtier who is familiar with the government.

The most important thing is that he is already a minister of the Ministry of Rites of the third rank, and he is not considered an over-promotion.

Everything is so natural and reasonable.

But the problem is obviously not that simple.

From the Imperial Academy to the Minister of Rites, no one in the government and the opposition would say anything more.Even if Song Li is gone and Xie Jin is asked to take over the Minister of Rites, the big guy will only lament that the grandson's luck is just right.

But from the Minister of Rites of the third rank, to the third rank of the general administration envoy, this is a big deal.

This is no longer a question of superelevation, but rather a question of paying homage to a prime minister!

Let's just say that, among the six ministers, except for Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji, any one who takes over as the general manager will be regarded as a promotion!
Under Xu Jingchang's efforts, the General Secretary has become an out-and-out monster with extremely powerful power and strength.In every way, almost nothing.

After all, Xu Jingchang has a noble foundation, not a straight line of Kejia. He has advantages and disadvantages... But if he is an official of Jinshi background, he can take advantage of the same subjects, the township party, teachers and students, etc. In-laws... all kinds of relationships, weaving a huge net, completely confirming the identity of the prime minister.

After finally taking down Xu Jingchang, another more difficult one came, which is really terrible.

After Zhu Di thought about it, he also had a plan in his mind.

He set his sights on Xie Jin.

"Bachelor Xie, what do you think? If you are asked to take over as the co-administrator, can you do well?"

Xie Jin hurriedly bowed and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister is not Xu Tongzheng, and the General Secretary is not Zhongshu Sheng. The minister is just serving the emperor and running errands for his colleagues. I dare not have any extravagant expectations. As for what to say through the General Secretary, Restoring the prime minister's power is even more nonsense. Where is the emperor's ancestor's precepts, who would dare to violate them?"

With a smile on his face, Zhu Di was very pleased with Xie Jin's humility.

This person just needs to be beaten. The great talent who was so proud of his talent at the beginning has now learned to bow his head.

"Since that's the case, let Scholar Xie take over as the envoy... You and Duke Ding can make a proper handover to ensure the smooth running of the government, so I can rest assured."

Zhu Di didn't give the ministers a chance to express their opinions at all, so he made a final decision directly.

Xie Jin will take over the position of General Political Envoy... The court meeting is over, the ministers dispersed, each worried, Xia Yuanji took the initiative to find Jian Yi, and you, the official, should be responsible for what happened.

Secondly, we must find a way and come up with a charter, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Compared with their anxiety, Xu Jingchang and Xie Jin's side seemed much more harmonious.

The two of them sat in the duty room, Xu Jingchang patted his chair, and said with a smile: "Next time I will sit in your seat, and you will sit in my seat. It's really interesting for us to switch positions between host and guest, and change the situation." ah."

Xie Jin hurriedly said: "The position may be changed, but the heart cannot be changed."

As he said that, he stood up and bowed to the ground, "Xu Tongzheng, no matter what, the subordinate officials will wholeheartedly obey and obey orders. If there is even a half lie, the sky will be struck by lightning."

Xu Jingchang laughed, "Bachelor Xie, you are wrong to say that. If I were greedy for the power of the General Manager, I would not hand it over easily. If you take the position of the General Manager, you must have your own ideas. Do as you wish... We are friends, we can discuss things and exchange ideas. We are not masters and servants, and we don't need to follow the lead."

To be honest, Xu Jingchang's statement was a bit unexpected.Because in the officialdom, I promoted you, that is the kindness of knowing you that is greater than the kindness of your parents.

You have to obey orders, and if you dare to be disobedient, you will be stabbed in the back.

But Xu Jingchang is different. He feels that everyone has their own thoughts and interests. You can't ask others to listen to you everywhere. As long as you can coordinate with each other and cooperate with each other in the general direction, you won't be stabbed in the back. That's pretty good.

What more bike do you need?
His degree of decentralization and magnanimity made Xie Jin grateful, and it was even enough to erase the hatred of the gardening leave.

"Xu Tongzheng, the parents who gave birth to me are also the parents who promote and trust me, and Tongzheng is also! The virtue of knowing you, the grace of heaven and earth, I really don't know how to repay you!"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Bachelor Xie, you also know that I don't take revenge overnight. Although I am prepared, you should also know that aside from some things that are hard to say, just the tax reform and the precious money , I have helped Xia Yuanji so much. This bastard, talking eloquently, greedy for his own, is really abominable, if you don't show him something powerful, this hatred will be hard to get rid of!"

Sure enough, if you are poor, you will hold a grudge, and if you are rich, you will counterattack.

Xu Jingchang is really rude.

Without any hesitation, Xie Jin said immediately, "Xu Tongzheng, what are you going to do, is to impeach Xia Yuanji immediately, or?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Impeachment now, can we get rid of him?"

Xie Jin shook his head, "No, the autumn grain is coming soon. This is the largest tax revenue in a year. In order to enrich the treasury, His Majesty will definitely not take Xia Yuanji, unless..."

"Unless what?" Xu Jingchang asked curiously.

"Unless Xu Tongzheng is willing to take over as Minister of the Household Department, after all, you two know the finance and taxation best in the Ming Dynasty."

Xu Jingchang couldn't help laughing, "Whoever takes care of the mess in the household department, anyway, I won't get involved. In fact, Xia Yuanji is not bad. I want to teach him a lesson, but I don't want to drive him out of the household department. It's really not easy to find a Household Minister who His Majesty trusts and who is capable enough. We all eat in the pot of the Ming Dynasty, and we can't do things like smashing the pot."

Xu Jingchang paused for a moment, and said earnestly: "Bachelor Xie, you have taken over the post of General Manager. I don't want to say anything else. I only have one suggestion...I hope you can focus on the political situation and safeguard the interests of Daming."

Protect Daming's interests!
Xie Jin understood this, and it was about safeguarding the interests of all officials and the overall situation.

"The lower officials will bear in mind Xu Tongzheng's teachings."

Xu Jingchang smiled again: "I have a memorial here, which says that the Ministry of Households added 23 warehouses last year, and eight of them were not used."

Xie Jin was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Xia Yuanji spends so much money, wasting the country's money and the people's money?"

Xu Jingchang shook his head, "You can't think that way. He said that to enrich the national treasury, it is reasonable to add warehouses... It's just that the warehouse is not filled with things, and the ambassadors who manage the treasury are fully equipped."

Xie Jin was surprised, "Is this because he appointed a private person and placed a cronies?"

Xu Jingchang shook his head again and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that these eight treasury ambassadors received a double allowance for their dedication to their duties."

"Ah!" Xie Jin finally lost his composure, "What else is there?"

"It's probably because there are no missing items in their warehouse, and there are no insects or rats biting, so everything is safe!" Xu Jingchang sighed.
