Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 387
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Xu Qi, this old minister has always been known for his sympathy for the common people, which is why he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.

Sighing heavily, Zhu Qiyu also felt helpless in his heart. If there are six departments in Beijing, six departments in Nanjing, and one Ershangshu, 24 people are needed.

Even if it is strictly in accordance with a Yishangshu, at least 12 people are required.

The embarrassment of the matter is that Zhu Qiyu simply can't get twelve cronies to fill these positions, there is really no one available.

There is a long way to go to completely wipe out Xuande and the orthodox forces.

This is just a minister, and there are even more positions as ministers, almost all of which are in the hands of Xuande and the orthodox old ministers.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu basically only summoned cabinet ministers and ministers, and rarely dealt with those servants.

Blindfolded, if you can't see something, you can pretend that he doesn't exist.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu said with a smile to Xu Qi: "That's right, you and Wei Guogong can discuss things about Nanjing."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qiyu stood up and said to Wang Wen: "The cabinet drew up the Taoist decree. Xu Youzhen, the censor of the capital of Youqin, will be promoted to the censor of the right capital, and also a scholar of the Imperial Academy, to participate in the maintenance of the cabinet for his contribution to flood control and disaster relief."

After speaking, Zhu Qiyu left in a hurry.

Although the action of the important ministers to force the palace was stifled in the cradle and did not show up, a warning must be given.

The implication of Zhu Qiyu's promotion of Xu Youzhen is obvious: you don't want to do it, no problem, some people are willing to do it.I still can't fill the positions of Shang Shu and Shi Lang, but it's not a problem to find a few cabinet ministers who are comfortable with it.

The number of cabinet ministers is not fixed, ten or eight are fine, three or five are fine.

Zhu Qiyu had already thought about it, if these cabinet ministers don't know how to flatter them anymore, they will just take the opportunity to weaken the power of the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies, and instead increase the power of their own disguised 'Zhongshu Sheng'.

Seeing that the emperor had left, everyone present began to whisper and chat.

Now the camp of the ministers is more distinct.There is a faction of the new emperor's party, a faction of the old emperor's party, and a faction of neutral forces.

In the end, there are still more Xinjun parties. Apart from Wang Wen, Luo Tong, Jiang Yuan, and He Wenyuan, Zhou Chen also clearly joined the emperor's camp this time.

Yu Qian, Shi Pu, Jin Lian, and Yu Shiyue stand together, and when it comes time to face big right and wrong, some people will still choose different positions.

Standing together, Chen Xun and Wang Ji looked a little lonely.

Moreover, Wang Ji has already turned to the emperor, but this time it involves the safety of Emperor Gongrang's family. Wang Ji is deeply favored by Emperor Gongrang, so he is really embarrassed to be too direct.

Therefore, Chen Xun was actually the only one left.

Chen Xun was not hardcore enough to treat the new ruler, nor was he loyal enough to the old ruler.

Before Zhu Qizhen returned to Beijing, he hadn't shown much, but now that the conflict between the old and the new has intensified, there is no room for swaying left and right.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolute disloyalty.

Politics is so realistic and cruel.

But it was said that Zhu Qiyu left Qingyun Pavilion and went directly to the South Hall.

At this time, the four favorite concubines, Huang Pu, and He Yi were all chatting with the top three Shinke Scholars.

Wang Xian, Sheng Yong, Ma Wensheng, and Zhu Qiyu were going to meet these three people in the morning, but after all these bad things happened in the palace, they could only give a banquet directly.

Zhu Qiyu adjusted his mood, and smiled at everyone: "What have you been talking about all morning?"

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said, "We're talking about medicine and health preservation."

Zhu Qiyu joked after hearing the words: "Emperor Xiaowen doesn't ask about the common people and ghosts and gods, and Aifei doesn't talk about literature but about health preservation. This can be regarded as a different kind of pursuit of sages."

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "My husband wronged my family because Weichen's great-grandfather was a medical practitioner in Dayuan, and his grandfather was a medical doctor. That's why we talked about medicine and health preservation."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, then looked at Wang Xian: "Then Aiqing is also proficient in medicine?"

Wang Xian quickly replied: "My lord, I have been taught medicine by my grandfather since I was a child, and I have indeed read a lot of medical books. It's just that the imperial court does not allow literati to practice medicine, so I don't have much practice."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu praised repeatedly: "Aiqing is really a talent, a Jinshi at the age of 17 is enough to make people dumbfounded, and you still have the energy to pursue diamond medicine.

It's really people-to-people, maddening people.

No wonder the princess insisted on talking about medicine instead of literature. "

Wang Xian replied courageously: "I thought that Li Shangyin's Xuanshi was seeking talents and visiting ministers, and that Jia Sheng's talent was even worse. Poor night, he didn't ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods.

There is no problem with the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence is obviously disregarding the facts and smearing indiscriminately.

Emperor Xiaowen "doesn't ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods", there is no problem at all; the princess "doesn't talk about literature and medicine", naturally there is no problem. "

Zhu Qiyu teased Lin Xiangyu: "Good little princess, I didn't look at it for a while, and you dug my wall.

Look at me, a good disciple of the Son of Heaven, I just know to talk to you after I disappear in a blink of an eye.

Forget it, this student gave it to you, I don't want it anymore. "

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile to Wang Xian: "It's okay, don't be afraid, if the emperor doesn't want it, then don't. I will arrange marriage for you later, and marry you a daughter of the Duke's family."

Hearing this, Wang Xian quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Xiangyu to thank him with a smile.

This was on the way here, and He Yi also made a point to Wang Xian: the emperor and the concubine like to joke around, and the family affairs are completely managed by the concubines.When the time comes, the princess will ask for whatever she gives, so don't be polite.To be polite is to look outside, and to look outside is to destroy your future.

Zhu Qiyu sat down on the main seat, smiled at Wang Xian and the others: "Since we have talked about 'poor Midnight Front Seat, don't ask common people and ask ghosts and gods', let's talk about Jia Yi.

What do you think of the relationship between Emperor Xiaowen and Jia Yi, everyone can talk about it. "

Because of a poem, today's exam questions again.

As soon as this test question came out, Lin Xiangyu and He Yi looked at Zhu Qiyu at the same time, feeling a little surprised in their hearts.

Although the topic itself looks very simple, the connotation of the investigation is very tricky.

If you are a person who only knows how to read books and read books by rote on weekdays, you will basically reveal your secrets as soon as you open your mouth.

If you study only for utilitarian exams, you probably won't be able to answer this question well.

Wang Xian, Sheng Yong, and Ma Wensheng looked at each other, and finally decided to answer in order of ranking.

Wang Xian had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "My minister thought that Emperor Xiaowen had three advisors: Jia Yi, Yuan An, and Chao Cuo.

Although Jia Yi was temporarily relegated to Changsha, Jia Yi has been making suggestions to Emperor Xiaowen in the form of memorials from beginning to end.Most of these suggestions were also adopted by Emperor Xiaowen.

Moreover, the meeting between Xuanshi and Zhao was originally an ordinary reminiscence between the monarch and his ministers.

Not long after the Xuanshi summoned the right, Jia Yi was promoted from Changsha Wang Taifu to Liang Wang Taifu, and was reused again.

When Jia Yi served as Prince Liang's Taifu, he formulated the most exquisite and meticulous strategy for reducing the vassals in all dynasties for Emperor Xiaowen, and solved the biggest hidden danger at the smallest cost, which can be called a masterpiece.

Therefore, Emperor Xiaowen and Jia Yi are a model of how the monarch and his ministers know each other. "Don't ask the common people and ask the ghosts and gods" is pure slander. "
