Jingming

Chapter 65 New Power
The adjustment and reorganization of the old east and west government offices, and the mighty regiment training camp selected by Tengxiang Four Guards and Jiang Bin were also involved.

At the two-day court meeting, Zhu Houcong reconfirmed: It was originally planned to squeeze out the vacancies among the reckless people and send away the redundant and useless ones, which is definitely not possible.

Now, in addition to the 26 guards of Shangzhi, His Majesty requires the Beijing Camp to guarantee a full 15 elite soldiers this year, and restore the standard of [-] soldiers in three years!
There are a group of people who will be dismissed, and they will have to fight for the extra positions next year or the year after. The selection of candidates is only a preliminary issue.

Gathering enough people is easy, but the emperor spent so much effort and gave enough silver taels, is it just to get enough people?

How to train elite soldiers, how to manage logistics well, and how to handle the relationship between the new three major battalions and the Ministry of War and the ministers, these specific strategies are intricate.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was also asked to come up with a complete strategy from their perspective. Isn't this embarrassing for them?

"Go to Gongsheng to find someone to catch a knife?" Zhu Houcong laughed when he heard Zhang Zuo's report, "It was Guo Xun who was running around among the ministers. post?"

Zhang Zuoxue was obedient, and he just replied dutifully: "There are a lot of closed doors, and the name of Master Hou's grandson is not easy to use."

Is being close to Xunchen so harmful to reputation and future promotion?
Zhu Houcong sighed and shook his head: "I am really speechless."

Both Zhang Zuo and Huang Jin were stunned. What new word is this?
As an emperor with few restraints, Zhu Houcong used this word to express his dissatisfaction with the many fears of Gongsheng because of his differences in civil and military affairs, and also expressed his disappointment with the uselessness of Xunchen.

After thinking for a while, he continued: "The resumes of the honored ministers that Zhang Yong took out earlier also mentioned Cao Guogong, Xin Guogong, and other descendants of the honored officials who have been expelled. Zhang Zuo, go back and tell Wei Lin to let Wei Lin know. Jin Yiwei checks on their ability and character."

Zhu Houcong had expected that Xunchen would become like this.

The reset of the three major battalions this time will also be a process of shuffling the cards within the Xun Chen generals.

Just like the clan, Zhu Houcong is planning to demote or even remove a group of people if there is a reason, and even form a regulation in the future.

As for the training and selection system for generals, he has been thinking about it for a while.

Those things are very involved, but there is one thing right now, but it can give another signal.

"The decree goes on, the sutra banquet in the second year of junior high school will be the feast of knowledge of the scriptures with Marquis Guo Xun of Wuding, and the four cabinet ministers will have a banquet with the knowledge of the classics. In addition, let the imperial doctor go to the residence of the Marquis of Xianning to see Qiu Yue's illness."

Stupid is a bit stupid, but at least it is caring and should be encouraged.

……

Right now, the military generals in the capital are most concerned about the strategy of resetting the three camps.

What civil servants are most concerned about is how Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong will fight in the future, whether they can win or lose before Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren and others arrive in Beijing, and when Yuan Zonggao will enter the cabinet.

How will the case of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin develop in this situation?
The Metropolitan Procuratorate let Xie Changjie participate in the interrogation, because after all, he also holds the position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he can be regarded as the eyes and ears of the emperor.

And Xie Changjie paid a special visit to Wang Qiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials: Can't Xie Changjie recommend more people for His Majesty for the remaining vacancies of the sixth to third ranks in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

His majesty's desire to strike a balance has been clearly seen. As the former chief historian of the palace, Xie Changjie felt that there was nothing wrong with him calling on Wang Qiong.

This is a feeling that Wang Qiong has never experienced in the past many years: in the past, Emperor Zhengde was too lazy to confront Yang Tinghe, and Wang Qiong's ability to stand still was largely due to the kind words of his ministers, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others.

Now more and more people are entering the gate of his palace.

Wang Qiong frankly refused to reject anyone who came, only seeing people, but not accepting gifts.

The same is true for Xie Changjie.

He was already convinced that this young emperor was extraordinary.

He is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but he knows better that he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The emperor said that he didn't want to move anyone suddenly because he didn't understand the characters and talents of the officials. Of course, this was to keep himself, Yang Tinghe's opponent, but the emperor must really think so.

In the palace, Wang Qiong took the lead in arranging for his staff master to start doing this.

"Everyone who came to visit, no matter who they are, must sort out a detailed resume." Wang Qiong said solemnly, "In the past, let's take a look at the attitudes and remarks on major events, the deeds and official voices of certain positions, It's all sorted out."

"... Dong Weng, do you really want to be so detailed?" The staff paused, "Then Xie Changshi..."

"Of course it's about other people. Your Majesty has his own ideas about how to use the former officials of the Qiandi. You have been with me for the longest time, and you know many things about many people. If you don't know, just ask me." Wang Qiong said with a brow, "When the tide goes out, it will come again. Many people will definitely leave their jobs this year. At this time, every position must be well known in my mind. In addition, I will draw up another memorial today."

"Please speak, Dong Weng."

Wang Qiong frowned, and said in a serious tone: "There are indeed virtuous and talented old people in the field. I am a great heavenly official, and I should have promoted virtuous people for the country. Your Majesty has great ambitions, and he takes the world's great rites as his own responsibility. To strengthen my financial plan, the former Minister of the Household Department, Sun Jiao, can take on the important task!"

"Sun Jiufeng?" The staff was stunned for a moment, and then praised, "Dong Weng, wow! Sun Jiao was originally from Anlu Prefecture. The payment was well planned. The food and salaries of the officers and soldiers were guaranteed in the front, and the relief and relief in the rear were in order. There are fellowships, talent and reputation, and he is the former member of the Dongweng Household Department..."

But Wang Qiong had a serious expression on his face: "This is a big deal, and there is no need for so many calculations. Only with his ability and experience, Sun Jiao should be rehabilitated!"

During the court meeting that day, the emperor put the gift and money together and said it clearly.The heavy burden of 200 million yuan in military pay every year, as well as the major events in the future, everything needs money.

The first thing was the emperor who checked the accounts. Later, the emperor who also emphasized money in so many things, Wang Qiong, who went from the Minister of the Ministry of Households to the Minister of the Ministry of War and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was involved in the three important matters of financial power, military power, and personnel power. All experience.

Now that the emperor has saved him, Wang Qiong must really be able to do things.

In this way, so-called blemishes of character can be tolerated.

Of course, at this pass, not a single gift can be accepted, and he can't make things difficult for the emperor.

If he is impeached with real evidence, can he really count on the emperor's ingenious arrangements every time, so that Yang Tinghe has nothing to say?
……

"...Little Marquis, it's not because of this that I declined. Now that the imperial examination is about to come, I really have no intention of doing anything else."

In the sojourn inn, Huang Zuo declined Qiu Luan's "good words and persuasion" with a sad face.

Jane is still in the emperor's heart, now Huang Zuo really feels that his life is suffering.

Mao Cheng, who made a special case for him last year and let him take the exam without a guide, has now been demoted to the people for the crime of disloyalty and disrespect. This has spread throughout the capital.

Unsurprisingly, the events of the first court meeting spread to the general public, and it was not just the officials who were talking about it.
Back in the room, there was a knock on the door. After Huang Zuo opened the door, it was Zhang Cong from the same department.

"Xizhai is still worried about whether he can pass the imperial examination?" Zhang Cong sat down and looked at the door again, "It's really unheard of for ministers to go to the tribute students to find people and draft strategies."

As one of the most talented students in this subject, Zhang Cong was also found.

But right now, Huang Zuo was shunned by many people, but Zhang Cong came to comfort him: "Your Majesty is wise, so you won't be implicated by this. Wang Jimei is Mao Cheng's son-in-law, so it's okay for him to be anxious. You and Liang Ge are always from the same village. , wouldn't the old man give you some kind words for you?"

Huang Zuo just frowned: Why is my imperial examination path so bumpy?
Mao Cheng's demotion to the people was a storm for the court, and for some people it was a tsunami that could change their fate.

He was involved in the sensitive matter of His Majesty's succession to the throne. How could Liang Chu, who was always regarded as a "good old man", help him to touch the emperor's back?
……

Qiu Luan, who had been running outside for a day in the rain, first went to Wudinghou's mansion, and when he entered, he saw Guo Xun receiving the order, and he quickly knelt down.

"...The minister, Guo Xun, took the decree and thanked His Majesty for his grace!"

Guo Xun accepted the imperial decree with tears in his eyes, and Zhang Zuo who announced the decree helped him up, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, Your Majesty has restored the old system for you."

"The minister is inexplicably grateful, and I can only repay the king's kindness!" Guo Xun held the imperial decree in his hand, his expression was quite excited, and there were tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty also asked our family to tell Lord Hou."

"I listen to the oracle!"

"Your Majesty said, the military minister should not kneel too much, but stand and listen."

Guo Xun stood up even more moved.

"Sacred Edict: I read the memorabilia, not the literary talent, but the content." Zhang Zuo said with a smile and asked, "Master Hou, do you understand?"
