Lin Ye is the general of the Jingzhou army. The designation of the Qingmang army remains unchanged for the time being and is stationed in the Jingzhou camp.
The impact of this incident on the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty was not so direct. The most direct impact on them was that Xin Yanque, the Prince of the Supervisory State, would inevitably activate and promote new people on a large scale in the near future.
At this time, no one's attention would be on Lin Ye, who only came to Geling once a month.
The major families that had been under continuous suppression by the emperor in the past would try their best to squeeze their own people forward during the preparatory stage for the replacement of the old and the new king before the new king ascended the throne.
Now is no longer the time for the emperor to sit in Geling. All the major families will take action upon hearing the news.
Royal Garden, Sihai Hall.
Mr. Xin looked at the list of people in his hand, which Ning Weimo had just given to him.
Yesterday, he asked Lin Ye and Ning Weimo to recommend some people. Lin Ye only recommended Xiang Jinwu, the magistrate of Wuwei County in Yunzhou. Ning Weimo did not recommend him at that time. Today, he made a list and submitted it.
"Yao Xinyuan?"
Mr. Xin looked at the name and asked Ning Weimo, "Are you from Suning's Yao family?"
Ning Weimo leaned over and replied: "Yao Xinyuan is not from the Suning Yao family, but from the Guike Yao family. The Guike Yao family declined twenty years ago, and no one except him is an official."
"He was the top candidate in the imperial examination last year. His Majesty took the exam himself, but there was no suitable vacancy at that time, so he stayed in Tongwen Pavilion as a bachelor. Over the past year, he has done his job properly. He is knowledgeable, visionary, and calm. "
Mr. Xin nodded after listening.
If Yao Xinyuan is from Suning's Yao family, then he cannot be used for the time being. The Yao family was also the founding hero of Dayu.
The Yao family in Guike County has declined and is now considered a poor family. Mr. Xin knows this, and the Yao family in Suning and the Yao family in Guike have long ceased contact.
"Where is this Zhao Miaoxin?"
"Back to Your Highness, this Zhao Miaoxin is also a bachelor of Tongwen Pavilion. He has been working in Tongwen Pavilion for five years. The original plan of the Ministry of Personnel was to transfer the government to outsiders two years ago, but I stopped him."
Mr. Xin nodded: "You also come from a poor family?"
Ning Weimo said: "He is from the Zhao family in Yangzhou Prefecture. He is just a commoner. He moved away from Yangzhou with his mother many years ago. He was only four or five years old at that time. He has settled in Geling for thirty years now."
Mr. Xin hummed.
He looked at the list. The first five people planned to enter were all the new government offices that were about to enter the city...the administrative office.
This is what the emperor means.
Before leaving Geling, the emperor summoned Mr. Xin, Ning Weimo and other officials to talk about the official office.
The service office is located above the three pavilions. Those who work in the service office may not necessarily have high official positions, but they must be talented and knowledgeable, and their character must be higher than their talents and knowledge.
Because the people in the office can be called assistant ministers.
This office was prepared by the emperor and was specially established to assist the new emperor in ascending the throne.
According to the emperor, as long as a person is sure to have great talent, whether he is seventh grade or first grade, he can work in the service office.
However, in the service office, it is not that there is no hierarchy. Ning Weimo is the first assistant, followed by Lin Ye, who is the second assistant.
According to the official level, ability, and experience, these things also need to be subdivided into other personnel.
According to the emperor's requirements, the office must have one chief assistant, two secondary assistants, ten assistant political bachelors, and thirty assistant political bachelors.
The composition of these forty-three people will replace the previous power structure and become the new decision-making place.
In accordance with the emperor's wishes, Mr. Xin has decided on the position of Ning Weimo as the first assistant, Lin Ye as the second assistant, and the other second assistant. Mr. Xin is wavering between Xumi Pianruo and Shi Jintang.
As for the others, he had to rely on Ning Weimo's recommendation.
In the list submitted by Ning Weimo, the first five people were all from Tongwen Pavilion, and they were all bachelors, and none of them was a bachelor.
Therefore, if all six people join the office according to this list, plus Xiang Jinwu recommended by Lin Ye, and all six people are included in the auxiliary bachelor's degree, there will inevitably be great opposition in the court. Moreover, Xiang Jinwu It's not suitable for me to directly become a bachelor of auxiliary affairs.
In fact, these six people, regardless of their qualifications or prestige, regardless of their status or academic achievements, should not be ranked so high. All the bachelors in the three pavilions have higher qualifications than them.
Moreover, none of the chief officials of the six ministries and nine ministers will enter the service office to become a bachelor. Instead, they will serve as assistant political bachelors under these newcomers. Then no one among those officials will be convinced.
Before this service office is established, it will become shaky.
"How about this."
Mr. Xin said: "From the five people you choose, pick three to be assistant academicians and two to step down. Although Xiang Jinwu recommended by the general is talented, he has always been a local magistrate after all." , the vision is still a bit poor, so I will also be listed as an auxiliary political bachelor first."
Ning Weimo guessed that this was probably the case, and it was impossible for Mr. Xin to have no concerns at all.
What is needed now is a smooth transition rather than drastic reforms.
Mr. Xin said: "The three ministers of the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War can be ranked as auxiliary academicians. Please take the trouble to select two from the three pavilions. As for the other two places... ..”
Mr. Xin looked at Ning Weimo and asked, "Can the remaining two bachelor's degrees be given as an honor to those who lead troops abroad?"
Ning Weimo replied: "I think I can follow His Highness's instructions. It will also be an encouragement to the local people."
Mr. Xin said: "General Ning Shehai, the general who leads the army in the Northern Territory, and Ning Haitang, the general who leads the army in Yunzhou, these two brothers and sisters can both be ranked as assistant academicians."
Ning Weimo said quickly: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to have two auxiliary academicians from one school. If the courtiers know about it, they might cause trouble."
Mr. Xin said: "If you're not afraid of making trouble, let's just settle it."
Ning Weimo leaned over and said, "I obey."
Mr. Xin added: "Since Ning Haitang has been transferred to Yunzhou and the Three North Protectorate is still there, how about giving her a promotion to the Three North Protector General?"
Ning Weimo said: "I'm afraid even the generals under Ning Shehai are not convinced. When Lin Ye was the general of the Three North Protectorate, after all, he had outstanding military exploits and was able to rescue and quell rebellions, so..."
Mr. Xin said: "What you said, does Ning Haitang have it?"
Ning Weimo was stunned and couldn't answer for a while.
In fact, what he was worried about was that his surname was Ning, and the two brothers and sisters were also surnamed Ning. Although he had no relationship with those two people at all, the uninformed people would not think so, and would think that the Ning family had become prosperous all of a sudden. , took control of the government.
The most important thing is that the people will say that he would rather be nepotistic than before becoming the chief minister, and he will control the government.
Mr. Xin seemed to have noticed his concerns, so he said: "Emperor Taizu said that when using talents, you should be eclectic. If you are afraid of using talents for fear of damaging your reputation, then you are not good enough as the chief assistant. Selfless.”
"True selflessness means not just not using your own family, but as long as you have real talent and practical knowledge, it doesn't matter if you use your own family. Besides, the Ning family brothers and sisters have nothing to do with you."
Ning Weimo leaned over and said, "I am being shallow."
But he still asked tentatively: "General Ning Haitang has a close personal relationship with General Lin Ye. Is that right..."
Mr. Xin frowned: "Have you forgotten what I just said?"
Ning Weimo looked over and leaned over and said, "I dare not forget that His Highness has said that talents should be employed in an eclectic way."
Mr. Xin said: "That's not what I said, that's what Emperor Taizu said."
Ning Weimo said: "Then, I will re-list the list according to His Highness' wishes."
Mr. Xin nodded: "Let's do it."
Ning Weimo actually wanted to say that the two local bachelor's titles assigned to him as a privilege were all given to the generals who led troops in Northern Xinjiang. If the generals who led troops in other places knew about it, they would probably feel uncomfortable. .
But Mr. Xin looked very determined, and he did not dare to persuade him any more.
Moreover, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Xin's arrangement. It is an indisputable fact that both brothers and sisters have made great contributions.
"Your Highness."
Ning Weimo asked: "There is still a vacancy for the second assistant. Your Highness thinks it should be..."
Mr. Xin, who had not yet made up his mind, suddenly made up his mind at this moment.
Mr. Xin said: "Let Xumi Pianruo come in. With him around, the people in the office will not dare to be too presumptuous. There must be someone with weight in the office to hold them down, so that the people in the office will not be too presumptuous." Don’t dare to show off your status just because you think it’s special.”
He asked Ning Weimo: "What do you think?"
Ning Weimo leaned over and said, "I have no objection."
Mr. Xin nodded: "Just follow this list. You submit it, I will seal it, and then it will be announced to the world as soon as possible."
"I obey."
After Ning Weimo saluted, he said goodbye and left the Sihai Hall.
When he walked out, he always felt that Mr. Xin's employment seemed very reasonable, but there was something strange about it.
He allowed himself to consolidate his thoughts in one direction, and finally came to the conclusion that these people whom Mr.
This is understandable, but isn't Mr. Xin afraid of any secret connections between these people?
They are all generals who lead troops. Ning Shehai is better off. He has always been in Dongbo and has not had much contact with the people in Dayu.
But Ning Haitang and Lin Ye had a close personal relationship. The two of them had led troops to fight together, more than once.
Mr. Xin directly gave Ning Haitang the title of Protector General that Lin Ye once served. Are you really not afraid that these two people will be connected in series?
The combined strength of these two men is at least 300,000, and they are all elites who have experienced war.
Ning Haitang's soldiers and horses were twice as many as Lin Ye's, and more importantly, more than half of them were Dongbo and Guzhu people.
Such an arrangement, to be honest, has endless hidden dangers.
However, Ning Weimo vaguely felt that he had realized something from it, but this feeling was too vague and passed by in a flash.
In the past, he felt that the biggest difference between Mr. Xin's work and His Majesty's was that he was not decisive enough.
Mr. Xin was unexpectedly decisive in arranging personnel today. It was obvious that Mr. Xin had made preparations beforehand. This arrangement was a decision he made after careful consideration.
"Trust..."
Ning Weimo muttered to himself as he walked.
If it weren't for his absolute trust in General Lin Ye, Mr. Xin would never have made such an arrangement.
Once trust is established, it will change from trust to dependence over a long period of time.
Once dependence is established, feelings will arise from dependence for a long time.
As a king, once you have feelings for a certain minister, such as brotherly love, this kind of thing is really not that good.
Ning Weimo thought a lot, but in the end he had to follow Mr. Xin's decision.
And this list is actually fair enough. If anyone is still dissatisfied, just hold it in.
Ning Weimo said to himself that it was fortunate that His Highness finally held back, because during the conversation just now, he felt several times that His Highness might mention the name Gu Xiujin.
If eunuchs take over, big trouble will really happen.
Just when he was thinking about this, he had just left the imperial garden gate. Before he got into the car, the coachman lowered his voice and said, "Someone, please meet with me."
Ning Weimo asked: "Who?"
The driver replied: "Wang Luoshen."
