Some rewards do not need to be discussed, such as those given to Yu Shiyue and others, which are just gold, silver and silk. Everyone is envious of them, but they won't say much.
However, some rewards need to be carefully considered.
for example……
"Your Majesty, I believe that Shen Jing's initiative is the most important among the three. Without Shen Jing's initiative, His Highness the Crown Prince's appointment would have been delayed for an unknown period of time, so we must not refuse to reward him."
"Shen Jing, in terms of merit, should be promoted to one level. Now Shen Jing is a fifth-grade chariot driver. He is a Jinshi in the first year of Zhengtong. He has been an official for more than ten years. He is also familiar with government affairs. He has served as magistrate of counties, departments, and patrols of local areas. , to appease the people, and after entering the capital, he successively served as the head of the Ministry of War, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a foreign minister, and a doctor in the Ministry of War. He had solid political achievements and a dignified conduct."
"In addition, Shen Jing was rewarded for his initiative in advocating for the crown prince. Therefore, I think that Shen Jing can be promoted to the fourth grade Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi to show the emperor's great kindness."
As the official minister, Wang Wen did his duty and took the lead to speak.
However, these remarks made the elders on the side speechless for a while.
This damn old man is really not afraid of people saying he is nepotistic.
From top to bottom, no one knows that this Shen Jing was promoted by him single-handedly.
It is true that in terms of merit, Shen Jing has no problem in being promoted to the next level. Since he is the first person to advocate leaving the cabinet, there is no problem in being elected to the East Palace.
However, when you were promoted from the fifth grade to the fourth grade, you were promoted not by one level, but by two levels, not to mention that you were in a position like Shao Zhanshi.
It is no exaggeration to say that with this kind of resume, if you later become an official in a ministry, you will be a third-grade minister.
This is a brilliant promotion!
After the words fell, Yu Qian beside him couldn't sit still, stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, the merits of the initiative are very important. However, it has only been less than half a year since Shen Jing was promoted from a fifth-grade Yuanwailang to a full-fledged fifth-grade doctor. It would be inappropriate to promote him again. I would like to grant him a literary honor. Yin Feng's reward is a reward for his merits."
Wen Xun and Yin Feng were considered a not light reward, but it was obviously a bit lenient.
However, Yu Qian had no choice. Now the Ministry of War was at a critical moment and could not do without people. Shen Jing was the first person to participate in the planning and organization of the military camp. At this time, it would not be a good thing to ask him to leave.
More importantly, Shen Jing's identity is different from that of ordinary doctors. He and Li Shi, one was promoted by Wang Wen and the other was promoted by the emperor.
The two of them were in the Ministry of War, to a large extent, to check and balance Yu Qian.
At the beginning, after Yu Qian patrolled the border, he felt deeply that the border military settlements were corrupt and made up his mind to rectify the military settlements. Therefore, the first thing he did was to firmly hold the Ministry of War in the palm of his hand.
That court meeting can be said to be one of the few risky moves Yu Qian has taken since he became an official.
A little carelessness will result in the loss of fame and status. Although the result is good, it is because of the firm support of the emperor.
But even so, it is impossible for all of the Ming Dynasty's highest administrative agencies, the Ministry of War, one of the six ministries, to be Yu Qian's cronies.
Whether it is to calm public opinion between the government and the opposition, or for other considerations, the Ministry of War always needs some different voices and eyes.
Shen Jing and Li Shi play this role.
As we all know, although Yu Qian and Wang Wen are both members of the Emperor's Party, their relationship has never been good.
Yu Qian didn't like that Wang Wen had a bad temper and was stubborn, but he followed the emperor's footsteps. Wang Wen also didn't like that Yu Qian acted aloofly for the country and the people every day.
In short, the two people often clashed on many court affairs. At first, Wang Wen was still worried about the emperor's favor for Qian, but as time went by, he found that the emperor did not deliberately favor Yu Qian, so he simply let go of the relationship with Yu Qian. Collide.
Although they are not ready to stab Xiang like others, in any case, the differences between the two on many political matters are not concealed at all.
In addition, Shen Jing also has another important role in the Ministry of War, which is to be responsible for communication with the officials. Once Shen Jing is transferred, it will be difficult for his subordinates to communicate about many things, and Yu Qian has to personally come forward. .
Therefore, no matter which angle you consider, Yu Qian will definitely not let Shen Jing leave at this time.
"I'm being treated poorly!"
Wang Wen is a protective person, not to mention that he had a bad relationship with Yu Qian. At this time, seeing Yu Qian come out to 'block' Shen Jing's promotion path, he was naturally very unhappy, he said.
"Your Majesty, Shen Jing's promotion from being a member of the imperial examination department to being a doctor in the driving department is a normal promotion, not a promotion based on merit. Therefore, it does not conflict with this merit-based promotion. If he is promoted based on merit, he must also pay attention to his age. Qualification, how is that different from normal selection?"
"Furthermore, the merit of being the first to join the cabinet is extraordinary. It is the Heavenly Family's reward for meritorious officials. If you are restricted by seniority, wouldn't it appear that Your Majesty is mean and ungrateful?"
"The way I see it, Yu Shaobao is afraid of delaying the affairs of the Ministry of War, so he doesn't want to let him go!"
It is indeed Wang Wen who said this...
It has to be said that general principles will always sound so ugly when it comes to the mouth of this Lord Tianguan.
Of course, it's hard to hear, but I can't find anything wrong with it.
Strictly speaking, the merits of initiating registration, establishing a cabinet, crowning marriage, following the dragon, and supporting the establishment are essentially a favor to the Heavenly Family, so when discussing merit, it is actually a reward from the Heavenly Family.
Since it is a reward from the Tian family, it must be generous. Otherwise, how can we let the ministers below continue to serve the Tian family?
Everyone knows this truth, but when Wang Wen says it, it smells of gunpowder.
As expected, even the emperor's face didn't look good when he said these words, and he couldn't help but cough slightly.
At this moment, Wang Wen finally calmed down and said with his hands raised.
"Your Majesty, I don't hesitate to speak. Please forgive me!"
Zhu Qiyu glared at Wang Wen gently, then looked at Yu Qian who looked ugly and said.
"The Ministry of War is at a critical moment in reorganizing the army. At this time, transferring officials from the Ministry of War will indeed hinder the government's affairs. I understand Mr. Yu's concerns."
The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. At this time, as the emperor, I have to be the peacemaker.
First, he comforted Yu Qian with a few words, and then Zhu Qiyu changed the subject and said.
"However, what Tianguan said makes sense. The merit of being the first to leave the cabinet is no small matter. If he is not promoted, there will inevitably be discussions from outside."
"Since the Heavenly Official said that Shen Jing should go to the East Palace to do some work for Shao Zhan, and the ministers don't have any objections, then that's how it will be handled."
"However, in order not to affect the important policy of rectifying the military camp, we can wait until this matter is over before letting Shen Jing enter the East Palace. Before that, let him serve as the Prime Minister of Zhan Shifu first. How about it?"
This is a compromise. Although I am still reluctant, the emperor has already opened his mouth. If I refuse, it will be disrespectful.
Therefore, Yu Qian had no choice but to give up.
"Your Majesty is holy."
In fact, to put it bluntly, the most difficult part of Shen Jing's official position is that he must be promoted and cannot be transferred from the Ministry of War.
There is a huge conflict in the middle, that is, under the Ministry of War, in addition to the minister, there are four Qing officials.
The doctor of the examination department is the fifth grade, but the assistant minister is the third grade.
Although the initiative is important, it is not enough to be promoted to four levels in a row, and it has to cross a large threshold from fourth to third level. In all dynasties, the only one who has been so lucky is Xiang Wenyao, who was envied and hated some time ago. .
However, this Minister Xiang had worked hard in the position of doctor for several years. In addition, he was top-notch in exams, and there were various coincidences. When no one in the court was available, he fell into a big loss. pie.
However, even so, Xiang Wenyao was still criticized in the court, and many people felt that he was a lucky person.
But now, the imperial court has gradually recovered from the huge impact of the civil war. Naturally, this kind of super promotion cannot be replicated again.
If you can't be promoted to the rank of Minister, then if you want to be promoted, you have to go outside the Ministry of War. This is the biggest problem.
The emperor's method can be regarded as a balance between the two sides, but in essence it still supports Wang Wen's opinion and wants to transfer people to Zhan Shifu.
It's just that he will concurrently serve as the fifth-grade prime minister first, and then he will be promoted after the affairs of the Ministry of War are over.
Of course, Shen Jing's problem is still a trivial matter, and the more difficult ones are yet to come!
In the final analysis, although Shen Jing had the greatest credit, he was considered a member of the emperor's party, and the emperor would not treat him badly no matter what.
And, more importantly, Shen Jing's reward would not offend the emperor no matter how big or small it was.
But the two people at the back, Zhu Jian and Zhu Yi, were more unpopular with the emperor than the other.
Zhu Yi wouldn't say it anymore. This young master was simply audacious. First, he blatantly sided with the Supreme Emperor in Spring Hunting. After the Spring Hunting was over, he pulled Hu Yan to stop Dongchang from entering Nangong.
In the past few days, Dongchang has been looking for trouble for this young master. If there is no tacit approval of the emperor, everyone will not believe it.
As for Zhu Jian, the emperor's impression of him was probably not good.
Although he did not speak publicly for the Supreme Emperor, and it was even the emperor's holy will to send him out of the capital to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the capital, Mr. Zhuge behaved really badly after returning to the capital.
I haven't seen that Li Shi and Luo Qi were promoted based on their merits in welcoming the emperor back. However, Luo Qi was honest, and Li Shi was regarded as a confidant of the emperor.
The difference is that after Zhu Jian returned to Beijing, he jumped up and down quite a bit.
First, he always opposed Yu Shiyue, who was the second assistant, and caused chaos in the cabinet. Later, he advocated in the court to prepare a palace for the East Palace, but forget it. In the end, it was revealed that he did this to seek Zhan's palace, and finally caused trouble. It's a waste of time, and your reputation is ruined.
Not to mention this, later on, when Zhu Yi went to report to Youjun, he also intervened. If one wanted to choose the most unpopular candidate in the cabinet, then it would undoubtedly be Zhu Jian.
In fact, in a cabinet that most relies on the emperor's grace, the fact that Mr. Zhu Ge can stay until now is enough for him to silently admire the emperor's broad-mindedness countless times.
Therefore, everyone was naturally cautious about the awards given to Zhu Jian and Zhu Yi.
However, who does not believe in evil? After Shen Jing's matter was temporarily settled, one person from the cabinet stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, I think that now that the prince has left the cabinet, Mr. Zhuge, who first advocated the preparation of the government, has to reward him. In addition, Yu Cifu, who is the Zhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion, only has the title of Prince and Young Master. It is inappropriate. But Add Yu Cifu and Zhuge Lao to the titles of Prince Taifu and Prince Taibao respectively."
"In addition, Xiao Tan, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a bachelor of Youchunfang, has been suspended from office due to a fraud case. In order not to delay the prince's government affairs, Mr. Zhu Ge can be ordered to concurrently serve as a bachelor of Youchunfang to reward his merits. "
Who is this?
So brave?
Everyone looked forward in confusion, only to see that before they spoke, it was Jiang Yuan who had just recommended a cabinet minister who had failed to achieve anything, Jiang Yuan!
As a result, many ministers subconsciously looked at Chen Xun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
That means, Chen Shangshu, how do you discipline your students?
At the same time, Chen Xun couldn't help but frown tightly.
In fact, he and Jiang Yuan had fallen out since the last imperial examination case.
However, due to face and the situation in the court, the two of them had no contact and did not publicize the matter.
But now it seems that this can no longer continue.
Otherwise, he will be blamed for everything Jiang Yuan does!
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, under the gaze of everyone, Chen Xun stepped forward and spoke.
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"
If you want to take a stand, you must be firm.
Chen Xun knew very well that everyone present was silent to give him face, so at this time, his attitude must be clear.
After cupping his hands, Chen Xun turned to Jiang Yuan and Zhu Jian and spoke directly.
"I think that Mr. Zhu Ge in the cabinet has no merit. Naturally, there is no such thing as merit in terms of reward!"
As soon as these words came out, the bosses' expressions suddenly became a little exciting.
Especially Zhu Jian, who was on the side, narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression suddenly darkened.
No one expected that as soon as Chen Xun came up, he would try to remove the firepower from the bottom of the pot. He didn't even ask whether the reward was appropriate or not, and just blew the bottom of the fire.
Relatively speaking, the emperor's face was quite calm and he asked.
"What does Chen Shangshu mean by this?"
So Chen Xun bowed again and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that the Crown Prince is young and weak, so leaving the cabinet without preparing for the palace is a matter of court deliberation and not decided by His Majesty. However, after Mr. Zhu Ge returned to Beijing, he ignored the conclusion of the court discussion and left the cabinet without preparing for the palace. On the grounds of His Majesty’s holy reputation, he forcibly stirred up trouble in the court.”
"This move made the government and the public uneasy, and the Tian family uneasy. But in the end, it was just for the future of Zhu Yongming. Your Majesty is merciful and will not care about his contribution to welcoming the Supreme Emperor back. However, if this is done openly, To call it merit would be disgraceful.”
"Zhu Jian stirred up the situation like this in the first place just to enter the East Palace and seek an official position. His Royal Highness is still young, how can he keep such a person with bad morals by his side?"
"The East Palace is an official, and morality is the first priority. If you recommend such a person to the East Palace, if you don't know the person well, you are harboring evil intentions. Please be clear to your majesty!"
Ah this...
No one expected that when Chen Xun opened his mouth, he would say such sharp words.
Let's not talk about rehashing old scores and uncovering scars. This last sentence was just a point in the nose and scolded Jiang Yuan for harboring evil intentions.
You know, this kind of evaluation would not be surprising if it appeared in the mouth of a political opponent, but it would be extraordinary if it came from Chen Xun, Jiang Yuan's mentor.
When did this Master, who was born in Qingliu, become so angry...
