Chapter 593 Set a rule

The Minister of the Ministry of War was impeached on the third day of junior high school, and the problem came next.

Without the Minister of the Ministry of War, the seal of the Ministry of War needs to be used everywhere in the ceremony of presenting prisoners.

In the yamen of the Ministry of War, the two servants of the Ministry of War stared at the pile of "official affairs" on the copybook together, their scalps were numb. They all had to be stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War. But now the Ministry of War has no Minister of the Ministry of War, and the two servants dare not replace them. The so-called name is not right, and the words are not right.

If it's the fifth day of the lunar new year and miss the prisoner offering ceremony, it will be a big deal. Those who don't pay taxes and send the prisoner offering ceremony to the emperor will have their heads full of cold water, but the two of them just splash ink on the emperor's face. It's really going to be tomorrow I haven't figured out a way yet, and I guess the people in the Ministry of War don't want to please anyone. These two servants are just here looking at each other, making a fool of themselves with this pile of paperwork.

"Hey..." One of the servants took off his hat, rubbed his scalp, and kept pulling at his hair.

"Let's urge you again. There is no minister of the Ministry of War, and there is no backbone in the Ministry of War. If it really comes tomorrow, there will be no one who is full of people in the Ministry of War to please!" Another servant also said worriedly, scolding Cao Cao in his heart. Yu Bian's old thing is not a thing, well, you insisted on bringing down Liu Tingyuan before the prisoner offering ceremony, now you're happy, and we can't suffer any more.

The person who scolded Cao Yubian was not only him, but almost the entire military department was greeting Cao Yubian's old mother. This action really made the military department miserable.

"Hey... I think His Majesty is now in a fit of anger, even if he is urging..." Another waiter complained. The emperor fought so fiercely with Cao Yubian and the others yesterday. If the emperor lost his temper and deliberately did not appoint the Minister of War Well, tomorrow's prisoner offering ceremony will be a mess, and when the time comes, people all over the world will be staring at me!This Ming Dynasty had the most embarrassing thing in the world. It is estimated that the court will be laughed out of its teeth, and the face of the court can be used to mop the floor. The two of them obviously have to stand up.

"How about it? Can't I just wait for the two of them to die here?" A servant interjected. The two of them really had bad luck for eight lifetimes. Victory, I thought I would be promoted, but I didn't expect that a disaster would come down first.

"Hey..., let's urge you again." One of the servants rubbed his scalp again, and now he can only do this, thinking, if he still can't urge the Minister of the Ministry of War, then he has to get ready The resignation paper stated that he was ill, and the Minister of the Ministry of War could not continue to work. Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was still early. If there was no solution at noon, he was going to hand in the resignation paper in his hand. If it was too late, he might not be able to send it to the emperor. up.

……

Wenhua Hall.

Yang Reform is also discussing with the ministers about the matter of the Minister of the Ministry of War. Originally, this matter would not be discussed in a small court meeting. Generally, it is recommended by the Ministry of officials and then selected by the emperor. But in the current situation, if there is no minister of the Ministry of War today. , I am afraid that tomorrow, everyone will not be able to live. The emperor probably has the desire to kill people. This matter has to be discussed at the Xiaochao meeting.

"Your Majesty, the minister of the Ministry of War is presenting the report. Now the Ministry of War has a large number of documents that need to be printed. Without the minister of the Ministry of War, tomorrow's grand ceremony will be a problem..." Chief Assistant Shi Fenglai said.

Yang Reform looked at Cao Yubian contemptuously.

Some important officials also looked at Cao Yubian.Cao Yubian brought down Liu Tingyuan in one fell swoop yesterday. Although the scenery was incomparable, but today, being watched by the crowd, he is also seen as guilty. Of course, on the surface, he still looks like an upright minister, without a trace of regret or strangeness.

"Let's see, what should we do?" Yang Reform said unhappily.

"Your Majesty, you should appoint a new minister of the Ministry of War, otherwise there will be serious problems." A minister also said that although the fight was fierce yesterday, but today, after the problem of no minister of the Ministry of War has been revealed, some people are also very serious. Anxious look.

"Your Majesty, you should appoint a new minister of the Ministry of War as soon as possible." The ministers said one after another.

When Yang Reform saw Cao Yubian, he was still a little upset.

"Then let's discuss who is suitable to be the Minister of the Ministry of War." Yang Reform said.

Everyone didn't discuss this time, but they all looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Minister of the Ministry of War saw that everyone was looking at him, but An Ran immediately held up a memorial book and said, "I want to report to Your Majesty, I have drawn up three candidates for His Majesty's selection."

"Tell me about those three." Yang Reform said directly.

"Zunzhi!...Your Majesty, the first is Liaodong Governor Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan, the word...; the second is the Shaanxi Governor Bi Zisu, Bi Zisu, the word...; the third is Yang He, the censor of Youqian Capital , Yang He, word..." This official of the Ministry of Rites also knew in his heart that the three characters he chose were from various parties, including those from the imperial party, those from the opposition, and those from "non-party affiliation".

Yuan Chonghuan?When Yang Reform heard this name, he was not surprised. Han Yu was Yuan Chonghuan's teacher, and he had an unusual relationship. I thought about it, but when the Minister of the Ministry of Officials said that Bi Zisu, Yang Reform had to admire the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He has vague memories of the reform, and in many books, he will appear on the stage. The peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, but he was indispensable.However, now that there are no peasant uprisings, it is not necessary for him to be the trilateral governor to suppress the peasant uprisings. In fact, if he is not driven to the shelves and made him a pure civil servant, maybe he can do a bigger career. .

"Since the Ministry of Officials has selected these few people, you might as well talk about them all. If you have better candidates, you might as well talk about them." Yang Reform said.

After listening to the materials of these three people, everyone was ready to discuss.

"I would like to report to your majesty that gathering virtuous people does not avoid relatives. I believe that Yuan Ziru, governor of Liaodong, during his tenure as governor of Liaodong, fulfilled his responsibilities and fulfilled his duties. He won great victories repeatedly and should be reused." Han Yu came out first and recommended Yuan Chonghuan as Minister of the Ministry of War.

Yang Reform nodded, and said, "That's right, Yuan Chonghuan is still good. This victory in Sanchahe is a great achievement, and should be reused!" Yang Reform first gave affirmation.

"...Continue." Yang Reform glanced at him and continued.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Bi Zisu, Governor of Shaanxi, to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. During his tenure as Governor of Shaanxi, he settled the victims and wiped out the bandits. His achievements are outstanding and can be reused." Shi Fenglai also came out to support the imperial party.

Yang Reform was stunned. Bi Zisu still got Shaanxi to be the governor himself. Now he is doing well in Shaanxi, so there is no need to replace him. Nothing can happen in Shaanxi.

"Well, that's right. Bi Zisu's contribution is indeed obvious to all. Considering such a natural disaster, no victims of the disaster rebelled. This is really rare. It is indeed a credit." Yang Reformyou affirmed.

When everyone heard it, this compliment?Is it too late?Bi Zisu did have credit, but not that much, right?Shaanxi didn't rebel, that's all because of your old man's million-dollar immigrant. Although Bi Zisu was brave enough to do things, it was hard work at best, and it can only be said that he took advantage of the imperial party.

"Report to Your Majesty, I recommend Yang He, Yang He has always been known for his honesty..." Zhang Ruipu saw that the people on both sides were praising their own people, and he, who has been making soy sauce for thousands of years, had to come out to make up the number, and said Yang He, Otherwise, it will be cold.

"Oh, Yang He? I've heard of the reputation of honesty and honesty. He is also a person who is not afraid of hardships and dares to do things. Not bad!" Yang Hege gave this evaluation. Although Yang He's performance in history was not so good, Yang Hegemony I also know that the problems in the late Ming Dynasty were political, not military. No matter how good the military was, it could not change the ending of the late Ming Dynasty. How many military talents were there in the late Ming Dynasty?It also failed to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty. As for Yang He's poor performance in history, Yang Reform actually didn't think it was a big deal. Officials who are able to divide their abilities are at least much better than those who dare not do things.

Everyone saw that the emperor had praised these three people, but they didn't show any intention of liking anyone, and they all looked at the emperor.

"I just said that these three people are good, so, everyone, also talk about the bad things about these three people, and pick and choose the faults of these three people who are not suitable to be ministers of the Ministry of War." Yang Reform is not in such a good mood. There is a problem.

Everyone was taken aback by the emperor's request, finding fault?
"Why? I don't talk anymore, I have to talk, I have to pick and choose. No one is perfect. It's better to show your faults and talk about it. It's better than hiding it. It's better to have a comparison." Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Reform, urged.

"What? If you don't say anything, let's start with Yuan Chonghuan." Seeing that everyone was still silent, Yang Reform urged him again.

Everyone looked at it again, and they all knew that the emperor was in a bad mood and was deliberately embarrassing everyone. The emperor forced him to do nothing, so he could only start talking.

"Shi Fenglai, you speak first." Yang Reform has caught the young man.

Shi Fenglai directly called that unlucky, in the officialdom, he only speaks good things about others, like this in front of everyone... Wouldn't it be embarrassing to see him in the future?However, if he was called by the emperor and said first, he could only bite the bullet and say it.

"... Your Majesty, I feel that although Yang He and Yang Xiuling are relatively straightforward, it is better for the Minister of the Ministry of War to know soldiers. In comparison, Yuan Ziru and Bi Fanjiu both have experience in soldiers. ..." Shi Fenglai tried his best to say.

"Well, that's right, the others will continue." Yang Reform affirmed and asked the others to continue.

"... Your Majesty, I think that although Bi Zisu has some experience in military affairs, he has served as the governor of Shaanxi for a short period of time, so it is not appropriate to promote him too hard." Han Yu also came out and said.

Everyone picked some faults for these people. Although they were faults, they didn't go into details. If they said something about others in this way, they still said it in public. Who could say it?They are all looking for some objective reasons.

"Your Majesty, I think that the most important thing at this time is to deal with the prisoner offering ceremony first. Although Yuan Ziru is more suitable, I feel that it is impossible to get him back immediately! Wait for Yuan Ziru to come back The former Minister of the Ministry of War, should the prisoner offering ceremony still be held?" Bi Ziyan sighed after listening for a long time, and said a blockbuster.

After everyone heard this, they realized that it would be best for the minister of the Ministry of War to take office today. Without the minister of the Ministry of War, what would happen to the grand ceremony tomorrow?
This statement not only vetoed Yuan Chonghuan, but also vetoed Bi Zisu. Bi Zisu was still in Shaanxi, no closer than Liaodong.

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, there is only one Yang He.Did you choose him?They all looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials again.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials could only shrink his neck, thinking, what does it matter to me, I am only responsible for recommending, if I can't keep up with the trip, can you blame me?Who told you that you can't wait for a few days?And secretly thought, fortunately, the rules handed down from before are always good, at least not all three of them are out of town, at least one of them is in the capital, and he can immediately become the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister recommended Wang Qia, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and Wang Hezhong as Minister of the Ministry of War." Cao Yubian unambiguously recommended another person, obviously also prepared.

"Report to Your Majesty, the minister also recommends the announcement of the right servant Wang Hezhong..." Someone followed up immediately.

Speaking of Wang Qia, Yang Reform was quite impressed. I have to say that this guy has a good face. According to later generations, he is a handsome guy who can't be more handsome. Wherever he sits, when he He is really the person who attracts the eyes of everyone around him, and belongs to the kind of person who is the center of everyone's attention wherever he goes.However, Yang Reform has some impressions of this person, more because this guy was involved in the killing of Yuan Chonghuan in history. This guy has a good life, but his life is not good. As a result, being forced to come out to top the tank is the kind of fate that is extremely good and extremely bad, and belongs to the owner who has a share but does not have that fate.

The opposition was obviously also prepared. Seeing Cao Yubian playing, they followed up one after another. The imperial party did not get the emperor's instruction for a while, and the reserve talents were not enough. There was no suitable candidate to negotiate with the king, so the form changed. Unfavorable.

Yang Reform felt that it was boring, so he pressed it with his hand.

Then everyone stopped discussing and watched what the emperor said.

"I will make a rule first. The Minister of the Ministry of War must know the military affairs. It is better to have led the army and have a record. Those who have not led the army and have no record will suddenly put him in the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War. It is harming him and the country, the defeat of Saarhu is still there, have you forgotten it?" Yang Reform said lightly, this is the truth.In history, Wang Qia was taken out by Chongzhen because he didn't know how to fight, and when he bumped into Houjin Jinguan, he was at a loss and had no way to deal with it. So miserable.When Yang Reform said this, he didn't mean to hurt anyone in the slightest, but he sincerely saved the lives of these two people. Whether it was Wang Qia or Yang He, they played military games in a mess, and they killed themselves. , also ruined the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

The ministers were very surprised, the emperor actually made a rule like this?Where is this rule?Hasn't the civil servants been able to move around in various ministries at will?So, in the future, ordinary people will not be able to be the Minister of the Ministry of War?Only for a limited number of people?If you want to be Minister of the Ministry of War, you must at least go out to fight?
"Your Majesty, I feel that this is inappropriate!" Cao Yubian immediately objected. If this matter becomes a rule for the emperor, the "employment" channels for civil servants will be much narrower in the future, and this matter must be stopped.

"Your Majesty, I also think this is inappropriate..." More people came out to object.

Although Yang Reform was a little upset, he didn't say this just to attack the opposition and civil servants.In fact, more, it is for this country, for the Ming Dynasty.Incidentally, it was also saving the lives of Yang He and Wang Qia.On this point, Yang Reform was sincere, and it was really for his own good not to let Wang Qia be Minister of the Ministry of War.

Yang Reform pressed his hand again, and all the officials fell silent again.See what the emperor said.

"My rule is not aimed at Yang He and Wang Qia. I don't allow people who don't understand military affairs to be Ministers of the Ministry of War. It's for their benefit... Well, I really do it for their benefit. You don't understand me!... "Yang Reform said with some regret and being misunderstood. These words, Yang Reform really came from the heart, without any falsehood.History can testify!
"Your Majesty, I feel that this rule is inappropriate..." Seeing that the backhand he had prepared was easily rejected by the emperor, Cao Yubian immediately argued with the emperor. I misunderstood the general, and I didn't know why the emperor was so strange, but I knew that if he didn't object to the emperor's rule, his successor would not be able to be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"...Your Majesty, tomorrow is the ceremony of presenting the prisoners. If you still don't decide on the Minister of War, wouldn't it be a waste of time?..." Someone urged the emperor.

"...Your Majesty, Liu Tingyuan, the former minister of the Ministry of War, has no experience in leading the army. Why is it so good to be the minister of the Ministry of War? During his tenure, my Ming Dynasty won successive victories..."

This small court meeting turned into a mess. The emperor's rules seemed to be nothing, but in fact, they were very powerful, greatly compressing the rights of civil servants.

Yang Reform let the ministers argue and ignored them, just looked at them with aggrieved eyes.

It's making a big fuss.There was a rush of shouts from outside: "Report, urgent report from Liaodong [-] Li!"

In the Wenhua Palace, it immediately quieted down, and Liaodong Qibai Li hastened?Something must have happened, and many ministers became suspicious, didn't our Daming just beat the tartar to the ground?Why did they make a fuss, so they kept quiet and watched quietly what was going on.

"What's the matter?" Yang Reform asked.

"Return to Your Majesty,... Liaodong is seven hundred miles away,...the Eastern captives blitzed Lin Danhan and killed more than ten thousand of Lin Danhan's troops. Lin Danhan was defeated and fled, and the Eastern captives returned with a large number of troops and goods..." This The breathless lieutenant told a shocking news.

This news stunned the ministers present. What happened? Didn’t Dong Lu just get knocked out by Da Ming for [-] men?How did Lin Danhan kill more than ten thousand people in a blink of an eye?Also captured countless things?this?Is there something wrong?Things are not as light as expected?Many ministers, Khan began to come out.

Yang Reform sighed secretly. Sure enough, Lin Danhan was a tragedy when he met Huang Taiji. Apart from losing troops and generals, he was the captain of the transportation team.I was also secretly happy, this script really went towards what I designed, which is interesting.

Yang Reform looked at the urgent report again, and it was more detailed. Lin Danhan had stumbled this time and sent a large amount of goods to Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji is expected to have a good year.

The urgent report was passed around in everyone's hands, and everyone looked at each other, wondering if they should object to the rules set by the emperor, this tartar is still very capable!After being beaten so badly by Da Ming, how could he still turn around?This tartar is too strong, right?
"Your Majesty, I think that we should dispatch troops very quickly to sweep the Donglu, so as to prevent the Donglu from regaining their strength..." Immediately, someone came out with an idea.

"Your Majesty, let's send troops..." Someone started to call out.

"The General Staff advises me not to send troops lightly. I am able to win battles today because of the convenience of sea ships. If we go deep into the inland, the food and grass will be easily taken by the Eastern captives, and it is very easy to be defeated. I will not consider it for the time being. Those who fight the Donglu lair... Well, as I said, to be a minister of the Ministry of War must have the experience of leading the army, and you must also have a record. If you don’t believe it, alas, there is a specialization in art!” Yang Reform regretted, with a look of regret. You all look like idiots.

A few people who yelled hard blushed, they couldn't say anything other than a few nonsense words about military affairs, and when they were squeezed out by the emperor, they immediately lost their minds.

"Let's go... I'm tired..." Yang Reform said with a tired look.

"But, Your Majesty, where is the Minister of War? Tomorrow is the ceremony of presenting prisoners..." Someone shouted anxiously.
