The ministers are relatively tolerant of the emperor's retrogressive retrogressions from time to time.
Especially these innocuous things, the ministers are too lazy to raise issues.
There is a saying in "The Thousand-Character Essay" that "sitting in court and asking questions, hanging the bow to level the chapter".
Therefore, Pingzhang has the metaphorical meaning that the monarch comes to court, discusses the affairs of the country, hangs his clothes and governs by doing nothing, the world is peaceful, and the political achievements are obvious.
Moreover, Meng Yuan has continued to use the post of Pingzhang until now.
As for internal history, from the Jin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, he had always been the 'prime minister' of the kingdom.
Nowadays, everyone is handling government affairs in the palace of Prince Qi, and the person who outlines and leads the matter is called internal history.
The ministers were thinking about a lot of things, but Zhu Qiyu didn't think much about it. He was just influenced by the later "Detective Di Renjie":
'My surname is Di and my given name is Renjie. I am a person from Bingzhou. I have the same official position as Fengge Luantai Pingzhangshi. I have deposed the envoy and am also the governor of Youzhou. I have been ordered by the imperial envoy to promote all important military and political affairs in Youzhou. '
How domineering this looks.
But this is all in the past. Now Zhu Qiyu has reset the grades, changing the rank of Zhongshushe from the seventh rank to the seventh rank; Pingzhang political affairs as the sixth rank, and internal history as the fifth rank.
This is already the limit of Emperor Zhu Qiyu's authority without causing conflicts between the emperor and his ministers.
The highest official rank is fifth rank, which is still within the scope of the emperor's cultivation of young talents. In particular, Zhu Qiyu's foundation is still shallow, and he adopts unconventional means to cultivate a group of cronies, which can be understood by all civil and military officials.
These young people did not threaten the status of cabinet bachelors and six ministers, so the important ministers did not have much resistance.
If his official rank continues to rise, then Zhu Qiyu will be on the path of becoming an official in Chenghua, and he will be waiting to fight with the courtiers.
Zhu Qiyu knew how to stay close to the courtiers' bottom line and dance while wearing shackles.
If the emperor himself limits his own behavior, he can reduce many conflicts between the emperor and his ministers.
Zhu Qiyu took a look at Huang Pu, He Yi and others, and saw that none of his close friends had any objections, so he ranked them: Huang Pu, He Yi, Yue Zheng, and Chen Jian were appointed internal historians, while Lian Gang, Xu Zheng, and Huang Jian were appointed Pingzhang political affairs. .
Free up all the positions of Zhongshu Sheren and leave them to the new scholars.
The original members of Zhongshushe, Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, Ye Sheng, and Yao Xian, all came up with this promotion sequence.
These people were capable enough, but they always wanted to sympathize with Emperor Gongrang, which gave Zhu Qiyu a headache.
Fortunately, when I thought about it, I now have two hundred disciples, and this one is my biological one.
They are disciples of the Son of Heaven, and I am a loving king and father.
In the end, only your own children can be relied upon.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu told He Yi and Lian Gang: "According to the Tao, Jiucheng Palace will be officially opened in one month. You will take people to make ten copies of all the information on Zheng He's voyages to the West, and we will deposit them in Jiucheng Palace." The first secret file.
Lest someone one day lose Zheng He's nautical chart to me again.
In the future, I will also make two copies of the "Yongle Dadian" and deposit them in Jiucheng Palace for reference by students all over the world.
Xingyi, please go and arrange for the new Jinshi. I will take turns to receive you starting from tomorrow. Tomorrow we will see the top pick, second pick, and top pick; the day after tomorrow we will see the top three picks.
After that, we will meet ten people every day, in order of ranking.
The meeting place was at Qingyun Pavilion. There are still too few talents around me. Training this group of Jinshi is a big deal, so you all should take care of it. "
After everyone accepted the order, Zhu Qiyu added: "From Dao, I have been paying attention to the public opinion of the government and the public recently. The emperor Gongrang and the two princes suddenly fell ill. I want to know how the government and the public think about it.
In addition to the imperial newspaper, I plan to start a new newspaper and publish it in the capital. And by setting up propaganda points in the streets and alleys, the court's policies were spread to the people of the whole capital.
As for how to deal with it specifically, you guys can discuss it first. "
As soon as the people present heard the news, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhu Qiyu looked at the faces and found that he still underestimated everyone's keen political judgment.
After all, thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge and emerged as the best among countless scholars in the Ming Dynasty. As soon as the cronies in front of them heard about running a newspaper, they knew that the opportunity had come.
As a close minister of the emperor, if he has the responsibility of handling government affairs and publishing the latest news at the same time, his power will be doubled.
However, Zhu Qiyu himself could also think of this, and even did it intentionally.
From now on, government affairs will be handled by the three pillars of the cabinet, the ceremonial supervisor and his own disguised "Zhongshu Sheng".
The specific implementation of the policy is the responsibility of the six ministries, five temples and other agencies.
The Sixth Section and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are responsible for supervision.
This is supplemented by Dongchang, Xichang, Neichang, and Jinyiwei to spy on intelligence.
In this way, multiple parties check and balance each other, and everyone has a certain degree of autonomy, but they cannot act outside the emperor's control.
Then it's 'sitting in court and asking, bowing down to make a flat seal'.
The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He even planned to skip the "sitting in court and asking questions". It was better to go to court less often if there was nothing to do.
However, Huang Pu interrupted the emperor's dream by saying: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Zhu Qiyu came back to his senses and saw that Huang Pu was hesitant to speak. He asked curiously: "Chengji, what's wrong? Who is messing around again? It's okay. You can just talk."
Huang Pu was also afraid of ruining the emperor's good mood. Now seeing that the emperor didn't care, he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Li Bing, the governor of the Xuan Mansion, has sent multiple memorials in succession.
He impeached the commanders Yang Wen and Yang Jian successively, and the commander-in-chief also knew that Jiang Fu was corrupt and illegal.
Impeachment of Dushi's internal official Gong Sheng organized field hunting and disturbed the people.
He also impeached the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, Guang Guang, for lax management of the army and indulgence of the soldiers.
Then Ji Guang also wrote a memorial to criticize Li Bing.
The local chief officials of Xuanfu had already developed mutual dissatisfaction, reaching the point of incompatibility.
Previously, they had to greet the emperor and the two princes were seriously ill, so this matter was temporarily backlogged.
Nowadays, Li Bing's impeachment memorials are coming one after another. How to deal with them is up to His Majesty. "
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's good mood suddenly disappeared. Xuanfu is a mess that makes people scratch their heads just by mentioning it.
After being stunned for a long time, Zhu Qiyu asked: "How is Yang Jie doing recently? How are he and Li Bing, the governor? Didn't Li Bing impeach Yang Jie?"
Huang Pu smiled bitterly and said: "No, Li Bing relies heavily on Yang Jie. As Yang Hong's legitimate son, Yang Jie is well aware of all the inside stories of the Xuanfu and helped Li Bing catch many corrupt officials.
On the other hand, almost all the local officials in Xuanfu hated Yang Jie. But when Yang Hong was there, he relied more on his eldest son Yang Jun. As the legitimate son, Yang Jie rarely dealt with specific affairs.
Therefore, the officials of Xuanfu were unable to grasp Yang Jie's real handle.
However, Yichen's personal speculation is that Li Bing has a character that hates evil and is not really in the same league as Yang Jie. It is more likely that Li Bing wanted to squeeze out Yang Jie's value first, and then collect his charges and deal with them according to law.
It's just that Yang Jie is very cunning, so I have no way of knowing how Li Bing plans to obtain evidence of Yang Jie's crime. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he scratched his head vigorously regardless of his appearance, and then looked at the seven cronies present one by one.
