I am the carpenter king

Chapter 212 Candidates

() In the first year of Tianqi, March 23, it is suitable for weddings and funerals, and it is forbidden to break ground and move.

Walking slowly onto the dragon chair, looking at the ministers kneeling below, Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile, and said in a deep voice, "All the Aiqings are in good spirits! It seems that there is nothing bothering you!"

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "I have some things to decide in the court this morning, but I want to hear the thoughts of my lovers! Now Sun Chengzong, the chief minister of the cabinet, is the supervisor of Liaodong, and the only major scholar in the court is Liu Yijing is alone. Liu Yijing is diligent and conscientious, and he is truly a capable minister, a capable minister, and a rare minister. I specially designate Liu Yijing as Shaobao, Doctor Guanglu, and second assistant to the cabinet! "

As soon as Emperor Tianqi's words fell, the people below were stunned. Although Emperor Tianqi's words in the early court last time were very good, but the things he did were endless.The Donglin Party in the court was completely wiped out, and some people may have objected, but under the suppression of the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party, Yang He and others, the voice of opposition was suppressed before it even rose up.

But at this time, Liu Yijing, who is the backbone of the Donglin Party, not only was not imprisoned, but was promoted to a noble. What is the plan?

Yang He, who was standing in the crowd, sighed softly, looking at Emperor Tianqi with complicated eyes.In his heart, he could actually understand why Emperor Tianqi did this, and he also hoped that Emperor Tianqi would do this, but he was somewhat uncomfortable in his heart!The Donglin Party in the court was wiped out, but the Donglin Party has been entrenched in the court for so many years, and the local strength is intertwined.If these people are left alone, it is easy to cause chaos in the local area, and the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties will not let go of this opportunity to strengthen themselves and take revenge on their old opponents.

Emperor Tianqi promoted Liu Yijing at this time, and told everyone that this matter is over, and also told those people in the Donglin Party.Your new leader is born.The second assistant of the cabinet, the Taibao, and the doctor of Guanglu, after these positions, Liu Yijing became the second only to Sun Chengzong in the court.With the support of the original officials of the Donglin Party, Liu Yijing will soon be able to gain a firm foothold.The most important thing is that Liu Yijing is upright and does not show favoritism, so that Emperor Tianqi can use it with confidence.Instead of making the Donglin Party dilapidated, the place is in turmoil.Might as well keep it for your own use.

Looking at the indifferent Emperor Tianqi, his face was still immature, but Yang He knew in his heart that Emperor Tianqi's scheming was not simple.Although she is young and light, but this is also the emperor's mind!

Smiling and looking at the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "The Cabinet Grand Scholars system was created by Taizu, and there are currently three vacancies for Cabinet Grand Scholars. I am looking for my dear friends today and I hope you can recommend them! Dear dear friends Hand over the selection papers to Liu Aiqing, and wait for all his people to gather together. I will choose from them!"

"Your Majesty is holy!" Saluted Emperor Tianqi, and the ministers said in unison. This incident gave many people an opportunity.Including the three leaders of the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties, they will definitely be elected, depending on how Emperor Tianqi chooses.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Let's do this first! When I see the memorials of the love ministers and make a decision, I want to discuss the matter of Liaodong with the love ministers." Qing Sighing lightly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Governor of Jiliao, Liu Che. Ignoring your kindness, death is not a pity. Although there is Duke Ding in Jizhou, it is not a long-term solution after all! I would like to ask everyone Aiqing, is there any suitable candidate?"

After Emperor Tianqi finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Every party wanted to get this position, and everyone was thinking hard.But no matter what these people think, they feel that they can't find a suitable candidate.The brow wrinkled even tighter.

The position of the governor of Jiliao is very important. He is in charge of the military affairs of the four towns and the governors of the three provinces.In the entire Ming Dynasty, among all foreign posts, only the trilateral governor in charge of the military affairs of the four provinces can be compared with this position!

I want to be the governor of Jiliao.Not only must there be prestige, but also good ability.If there is a wine bag and rice bag, it is estimated that Emperor Tianqi will soon catch him back and chop off his head.

Looking at the people below who were thinking hard, Emperor Tianqi smiled indifferently, relying on knowing the history of this era, he couldn't figure it out for several days.It seemed that these people didn't have any suitable candidates. Just as Emperor Tianqi was about to speak, a person stood up in the hall.

"Your Majesty, Yang He, the censor of Zuodu, is an upright official with extraordinary ability and knowledge of military affairs. I recommend Yang He, the censor of Zuodu, as the governor of Jiliao. I believe that Lord Yang will live up to your majesty's entrustment and rectify the four towns. The situation." Zhou Jiamo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up, and at this time Zhou Jiamo said with a serious face and a very serious attitude.

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback when he heard Yang He's name, and when he saw many people below nodded approvingly, Emperor Tianqi wanted to laugh.The relationship between Zhou Jiamo and Yang He is very good now, he must have no selfishness in recommending Yang He.As the censor of Zuodu, Yang He is just right to be the governor of Jiliao.

Looking at Yang He, Emperor Tianqi looked at him with interest, but Yang He looked like an old god, and there was nothing wrong with it.Smiling calmly, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but think of Yang He in history. He really was a governor, and he was also a trilateral governor similar to Governor Ji Liao.

In Emperor Tianqi's impression, Yang He was a good official, honest and upright, and now his son Yang Sichang's character was much better.The most important thing is that Yang He is well aware of the sufferings of the people, loves the people like a son, and has very good abilities.During Yang He's tenure as the trilateral governor, a peasant uprising led by Shen Yikui broke out in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Seeing the suffering of the people on the three sides, Yang He couldn't bear to confront each other with swords, and insisted on appeasement.The reigning Emperor Chongzhen also believed Yang He's words, but the court had no money at the time, and if it wanted to settle refugees and appease the rebels, it needed to feed these people.But the imperial court did not have this ability, and there was no way to let them eat, and the bandits surrendered and rebelled again.And because the encirclement and suppression was strong enough, the bandits gradually grew stronger, and finally turned into a rolling torrent.

For Yang He, Emperor Tianqi always thought that he was a good official, a rare good official, and he always valued him very much.But from another perspective, as an emperor, you must know how to know people and be good at responsibility. Yang He is a scholar and doesn't understand military affairs.And his heart is relatively soft, and bloodshed is not suitable for him.If Yang He was allowed to govern a province, Emperor Tianqi believed that Yang He would be a good official.It is certain that it is worthy of the imperial court at the top, and the common people at the bottom, and is supported by all people.

Seeing that there are still people to stand up, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Aiqing is the leader of the country, quite capable, I have other matters entrusted to Yang Aiqing, the governor of Jiliao should be replaced by someone else!"

Hearing what Emperor Tianqi said, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then many people looked at Yang He.It's just that Yang He's face remained unchanged, as if he had nothing to do with him.Seeing this scene, everyone admired in their hearts, this skill of nourishing qi is very remarkable.

Glancing around among the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi smiled indifferently, pondered for a while and continued: "Since there is no suitable candidate for the lovers, then I will accept my fate. For meritorious service, I promoted him to be the governor of Jiliao, in charge of the military affairs of the four towns, and the governor of the three provinces. As for the candidates for the governor of Liaodong, do you have any suitable candidates?".

Sun Chengzong was the governor of Jiliao, and no one in the court could say anything. Whether it was status or ability, Sun Chengzong would not be the second choice in the court.Hearing Emperor Tianqi mention Liaodong Governor, the people below began to think hard again, but still felt that there was no suitable candidate.

"Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi, the former Liaodong economic strategist, was able to manage the army well, and he made great contributions in the First Battle of Shenyang City. He has suffered unfair injustice before. Please promote Xiong Tingbi as the Liaodong supervisor to be in charge of Liaodong military affairs!" Stand up this time It must be Ying Zhen, the official of the Ministry of Punishments. Many people in the court have feuds with Xiong Tingbi, but Guan Yingzhen is an exception.Although the two are not close friends, they can be considered like-minded!

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Xiong Tingbi has indeed contributed to the country and is indeed quite capable. He should be promoted. But the position of Liaodong Governor is not suitable for Xiong Tingbi. Liaodong Governor and Governor of Liaodong Military and political affairs, focusing on the Liaodong War, I wonder if there is any Ai Qing who has a suitable candidate?"

"Your Majesty, I recommend Xiong Wencan, the right servant of the Ministry of War, to be the supervisor of Liaodong. Xiong Wencan is an upright and honest official, and has a deep knowledge of military skills. He has fought against Japanese pirates along the coast. He is a very experienced official. I ask your majesty to promote Xiong Wencan as the supervisor. Master Liaodong!" This time it was Honglu Temple Qing Chengfang who stood up this time, this person rarely spoke in court, and Emperor Tianqi did not expect him to speak at this time.

Regarding Xiong Wencan, Emperor Tianqi really ignored it, and now thinking about it, it is indeed a bit too much.Xiong Wencan really understands military affairs, and there is no problem with his loyalty. In history, Xiong Wencan was Yang Sichang's scapegoat and was killed by Yang Sichang!

Xiong Wencan once fought successively in Shaanxi and wiped out many gangsters, but one Yang Sichang insisted that his father was right and advocated appeasement, which resulted in the failure of the entire encirclement and suppression.Xiong Wencan was also convicted because of this, which can also be said to be a tragic figure.

Since Yao Zongwen, Minister of the Ministry of War, was arrested, most of the affairs of the Ministry of War have been decided by Xiong Wencan, but since Emperor Tianqi appointed Qian Longxi to act as the Ministry of War, Xiong Wencan has ceded a lot of power.After he saw that he would definitely be implicated, Xiong Wencan was not relieved until this morning when Emperor Tianqi sealed Liu Yijing's official position.It's just that someone recommended him at this time, Xiong Wencan couldn't help complaining in his heart, and looked at Emperor Tianqi cautiously!
