Zhu Qiyu glanced at Xu Qi. This old minister had always been known for his consideration for the people, which was why he was appointed minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.
Sighing heavily, Zhu Qiyu also felt helpless in his heart. If the six departments in Beijing and the six departments in Nanjing, one with two ministers, would require twenty-four people.
Even if one strictly follows one minister's book, at least twelve people are needed.
The embarrassing part of the matter is that Zhu Qiyu simply can't find any twelve cronies to fill these positions. There is really no one available.
There is a long way to go to completely eliminate the forces of Xuande and Orthodoxy.
This is just the minister, and there are even more positions for ministers, almost all of which are in the hands of Xuande and orthodox old ministers.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu basically only summoned cabinet ministers and ministers, and rarely interacted with those ministers.
If you blindfold yourself, if you can't see something, you can pretend it doesn't exist.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Xu Qi and said, "It's ready. You and Wei Guogong can discuss the matter in Nanjing."
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qiyu stood up and said to Wang Wen: "The cabinet has drafted an edict. Xu Youzhen, the censor of the right capital, has been promoted to the right deputy censor of the capital for his role in flood control and disaster relief. He is also a bachelor of Hanlin and has joined the cabinet to participate in machine maintenance."
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu left in a hurry.
Although the actions of the important ministers to force the palace to be imprisoned were nipped in the cradle and did not show up, a warning must be given.
The implication of Zhu Qiyu's promotion of Xu Youzhen is obvious: If you don't want to do it, that's no problem, there are plenty of people who are willing to do it. I still can't fill the positions of minister and minister, but it's easy to find a few cabinet ministers who can be used easily.
The number of cabinet ministers is not fixed, it can be ten or eight, or three or five.
Zhu Qiyu had already thought that if these cabinet ministers continued to fail to appreciate promotion, he would take the opportunity to weaken the power of the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and instead increase the power of his disguised "Zhongshu Sheng".
Seeing that the emperor had left, everyone present began to whisper and chat.
Now the ministers' camps became more clearly defined. There is one faction of the New Monarch Party, another faction of the Old Imperial Party, and one faction of neutral forces.
After all, the New Monarch Party was more numerous. In addition to Wang Wen, Luo Tong, Jiang Yuan, and He Wenyuan, Zhou Chen also clearly stood in the emperor's camp this time.
Yu Qian, Shi Pu, Jin Lian, and Yu Shiyue stand together. When it comes to facing major issues of right and wrong, some people will still choose different positions.
Chen Xun and Wang Ji stood together, seemingly alone.
Moreover, Wang Ji has already turned to the emperor, but this time it involves the life safety of Emperor Gongrang's family. Wang Ji is deeply favored by Emperor Gongrang, and he is really embarrassed to be too direct.
Therefore, Chen Xun is actually the only one left who is neither above nor below.
Chen Xun was not loyal enough to the new monarch; he was not loyal enough to the old monarch.
Zhu Qizhen had not shown much prominence before returning to Beijing. Now that the old and new conflicts have intensified, there is no room for swinging.
Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
Politics is so realistic and cruel.
But he said that Zhu Qiyu left Qingyun Pavilion and went directly to the South Hall.
At this time, the four beloved concubines, Huang Pu, and He Yi were all chatting with the top three new scholars in the second class.
Wang Xian, Sheng Yong, Ma Wensheng, and Zhu Qiyu were originally going to receive these three people in the morning, but as a result of such troubles happening in the palace, they had no choice but to give them a banquet directly.
Zhu Qiyu adjusted his mood and smiled at everyone: "What have you been talking about all morning?"
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "We are talking about medicine and health preservation."
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu joked: "Emperor Xiaowen does not ask about the common people or ghosts and gods, but my concubine does not talk about literature but health preservation. You can be regarded as a different kind of chasing after sages."
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "My husband has wronged the slave family. It is because Weichen's great-grandfather once served as a medical doctor in Dayuan, and his grandfather served as a crown doctor, so we talked about medicine and health care."
Zhu Qiyu nodded, then looked at Wang Xian: "Then Aiqing is also proficient in medicine?"
Wang Xian quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been taught medicine by his grandfather since he was a child, and he has indeed read a lot of medical books. However, the imperial court does not allow literati to practice medicine, so Weichen does not have much practice."
Zhu Qiyu heard this and praised continuously: "Aiqing is really a talented person. You are stunned to be a Jinshi at the age of seventeen. You actually have the energy to practice diamond medicine.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
No wonder the princess insists on talking about medicine instead of literature. "
Wang Xian bravely replied: "I think Li Shangyin's promulgation office seeks talents and visits ministers, but Jia Sheng's talents are even more unqualified. It's a pity that he only sat down at the front table in the middle of the night and didn't ask about the common people or ghosts and gods."
There is nothing wrong with the first half of the sentence, but the second half obviously ignores the facts and slanders it indiscriminately.
Emperor Xiaowen 'didn't ask the common people about ghosts and gods', so there was no problem in the first place. The princess 'didn't talk about literature but medicine', so there was no problem. "
Zhu Qiyu teased Lin Xiangyu: "You little princess, I didn't stare at you for a while, and you dug into my wall.
Look at me, a good disciple of the Emperor, who has just disappeared in the blink of an eye and only knows how to talk to you.
Forget it, I gave this disciple to you, I don’t want it anymore. "
Lin Xiangyu smiled at Wang Xian and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid. If the emperor doesn't want it, just don't want it. I'll arrange a marriage for you later and marry you to a legitimate daughter of the prince."
When Wang Xian heard this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Xiangyu with a smile to thank him.
On the way here, He Yi also reminded Wang Xian: the emperor and the princesses liked to joke around, and the concubines were completely in charge of household affairs. When the time comes, you will get whatever the princess gives you, so don't be polite. To be polite is to look at other people, and to look at other people is to destroy your own future.
Zhu Qiyu sat down on the main seat and smiled at Wang Xian and others: "Since we talked about 'poor people sitting at the front table in the middle of the night, not asking about the people or ghosts and gods', let's talk about Jia Yi.
Let us all tell you what you think of the relationship between Emperor Xiaowen and Jia Yi. "
Because of a poem, today’s test questions are again available.
As soon as this test question came out, Lin Xiangyu and He Yi glanced at Zhu Qiyu in unison, feeling quite surprised.
Even though the question itself looks very simple, the connotation of the examination is very tricky.
If you are a person who only knows how to read and study, your secret will basically be revealed as soon as you open your mouth.
If you study just for the utilitarian purpose of taking the exam, you will probably not be able to answer the question well.
Wang Xian, Sheng Yong, and Ma Wensheng looked at each other and finally decided to answer in order of ranking.
Wang Xian had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Wei Chen believes that Emperor Xiaowen has three great advisers: Jia Yi, Yuan An, and Chao Cuo.
Although Jia Yi was briefly demoted to Changsha, from beginning to end, Jia Yi had been making suggestions to Emperor Xiaowen in the form of memorials. Most of these suggestions were adopted by Emperor Xiaowen.
Moreover, the announcement of the meeting was originally an ordinary meeting between the monarch and his ministers to reminisce about the past.
Shortly after the announcement of the appointment, Jia Yi was promoted from Changsha Wang Taifu to Liang Wang Taifu, and was again put into important use.
When Jia Yi was the Tutor of the Prince of Liang, he formulated for Emperor Xiaowen the most exquisite and meticulous vassal reduction strategy in the history of the dynasties, solving the biggest hidden dangers at the smallest cost, which can be called a masterpiece.
Therefore, Emperor Xiaowen and Jia Yi are examples of emperors and ministers knowing how to meet each other, and "not asking about the common people and ghosts and gods" is pure slander. "
