Chapter 323 The Man of Decision
(Second update!)

At this time, the lanterns around Taiping Road and Chonghuafang have been dismantled, and the joy of reunion on the Mid-Autumn Festival has faded away, replaced by the Chongyang Festival.

The streets and alleys of Jingzhao are filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums, and the home of the rich and powerful still has the lingering smell of river crab.

It was in this kind of aroma and fragrance that Zheng Shiyong came to Jingzhao and lived in Zuo Pushe's mansion on Xuanming Street, which attracted the attention of Jingzhao officials.
Zheng Shiyong's qualifications and achievements are also presented to Jingzhao officials.It is not easy for Zheng Shiyong to manage Taiyuan Mansion well!
Four years ago, the officials in Taiyuan were mediocre, resulting in chaotic government, rampant bandits, and many people suffered.Therefore, Emperor Chongde promoted Zheng Shiyong, who was then Minister of Rites, to be the governor of Taiyuan.With him sitting in the Taiyuan Mansion, the government is indeed clean and the officials are clean, and the people gradually become happy, which relieves the worries of the court. (bgm: It seems that it is also a tradition during the Chongde period to use the Minister of Rites as the Governor of Taiyuan.)
Judging from past events, Zheng Shiyong was a standard capable official, and many problems that other officials could not solve could be solved in his hands.
Will it be the same with the supervision of the six ministries this time? ——Since Zheng Shiyong came to Jingzhao, the officials have been speculating and watching the development of the situation.
Zheng Shiyong was the first Shangshu Zuopushe in Dading, and he encountered such an incident just after he took office, and it was still a major event related to the Shangshu Province.In a sense, it represents his inclination to manage Shangshu Province. How will he deal with it?

Even Emperor Chongde wanted to know Zheng Shiyong's opinion.As soon as he was settled, he was summoned to Zichen Hall to ask about it.

Indeed, the matter dragged on for more than half a month, which was long enough, and Emperor Chongde didn't have much patience.
Zheng Shiyong is slightly fat and has a thick appearance. At first glance, he looks like a farmer, not like a third-rank official in charge of a party.But when he didn't close his eyes, the whole person would become fierce, and the coercion all over his body was quite scary.

To be honest means to be credible; to be sharp means to be useful. Such a person is exactly what the emperor needs most.Perhaps, it was such honesty and sternness that made Emperor Chongde trust him and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

Zheng Shiyong was summoned to the Zichen Hall, and just after the ceremony, Emperor Chongde said: "You don't need to be too polite, give me a seat quickly!"

The attendants in the hall immediately moved out of the short pier, and asked Zheng Shiyong to sit down with a very respectful attitude.

Zheng Shiyong said thank you to the emperor, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Emperor Chongde ask: "Aiqing's journey is tiring, is the mansion on Xuanming Street satisfactory? If it is not comfortable, I will ask people to rearrange the mansion."

Zheng Shiyong had no choice but to stand up, and said anxiously: "The mansion on Xuanming Street is already too good. I live in it, and I feel very uneasy. This is the great grace of the emperor. I am very grateful, and I will definitely do my best! Share your worries and relieve your labors for the emperor!"

When Zheng Shiyong said these words, his chubby face looked very honest, and these words sounded like this.
……

……

After such a confrontation between the monarch and his ministers, Emperor Chongde went straight to the topic and said: "Aiqing has heard of Yu Hengjing's memorabilia, right? I have been thinking about it for a long time to monitor the six books with Zhongshu Sheren, but it is difficult to make a decision. What do you think?"

Zheng Shiyong also has many juniors and students in Jingzhao officialdom, so he is naturally well informed.While on the road, he heard about it.He could also predict that this was the first thing he did when he took office, and the emperor was still undecided, so he would definitely ask about it.

So he was thinking about this all the way, and he had a choice in his mind to deal with it.Now that Emperor Chongde asked about this matter, he expressed his attitude.

He stood up, bowed to Emperor Chongde and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is a good thing to use Zhongshu Sheren to monitor the Six Departments. In this way, the situation of the Six Departments will be clear; if it is clear, it cannot be hidden. If you can’t make people have monopoly power, it will be beneficial to the court! The emperor’s governance will be smooth, and the country’s court will be safe for a long time!”

It turned out that Zheng Shiyong believed that Yu Hengjing's memorandum could be carried out, which made Emperor Chongde's eyes shrink slightly, and then he continued: "So, I am afraid that Zhongshushe's status is too high and the weight is too great."

"Zhongshusheren was originally a close minister of the emperor. Zhongshusheren supervised, and the situation of the six departments can be presented to the emperor in the fastest and most accurate manner. If the emperor is worried about Zhongshusheren's monopoly, he can choose a well-behaved official to serve as Zhongshu Sheren, and shorten the tenure of Zhongshu Sheren, who can be appointed every two or three years..." Zheng Shiyong replied, carefully thinking about his thoughts.

Zheng Shiyong and Yu Hengjing had the same thought in the Memorial, and believed that Dading had been established for decades, and many things, including the official system, should not be changed because of the old.Those who remain unchanged will die.

"A person with good conduct will be appointed every two or three years..." Emperor Chongde read these words, judging in his heart.

A person with good conduct can also be trusted and trusted; two or three years is not enough for a Zhongshu Sheren to control the six books, but it can let an emperor know the situation of the six books!
"Your Majesty, I think that this matter should not be delayed any longer. Since half of the six ministers think this matter, it is already a very clear attitude. The request for this memorial is indeed beneficial to the government, and the history books will have a conclusion in the future. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible, and Master Yu will be allowed to play." Zheng Shiyong said again.

Zheng Shiyong has just come to Jingzhao, and has not yet been involved in Jingzhao's power structure, so he will not lean towards any side or person.He thought that the memorial's invitation was beneficial, so he stood by Yu Hengjing's side.

The reason he said was actually the same as what Yu Hengjing asked, and it was also the same as what Gu Zhan, Lu Qing and others played.But at this time, the role played by Emperor Chongde is different from them.

Because, Emperor Chongde thought about it for a long time, and gradually realized that Zheng Shiyong's words were very reasonable, so he nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is very reasonable. I really should make a decision."

He made such a decision, which was actually due to the superimposed efforts of Yu Hengjing, Gu Zhan, Lu Qing and others before, and when it came to Zheng Shiyong, it had an effect.

Their previous memorials had already left a mark on Emperor Chongde's heart.Zheng Shiyong's response was to deepen this mark, and finally made Emperor Chongde accept this mark.

It was Zheng Shiyong who made the last effort. Without this person, it is really hard to say whether Yu Hengjing's memorial would be approved by Emperor Chongde.

Soon, almost on the second day after Zheng Shiyong entered the Zichen Palace, there was a decree for the monitoring of the Six Departments by Zhongshu Sheren.
