After Zhang Cheng died, the missing son of the Minister of Rites came out. It was also around this time that Shi Daishan, the censor of Zuodu, wrote three memorials in a row asking to resign. He was already in poor health, and the previous incident with Liu Daxia made him a little discouraged, so he was somewhat determined to leave.
Dai Shan indeed died in the 18th year of Hongzhi. Because he was an important minister, the emperor and the prince had asked the imperial hospital to see him. After all, he was already sixty-eight years old, and he did have some physical ailments. He was more like the late leader Xu Pu, but his eyesight was bad and he could hardly see.
Zhu Houzhao is not a medical professional, but he looks a bit like cataracts.
In this case, there are only two missing among the six ministers and nine ministers.
In addition, in Zhejiang, there will be many official vacancies as a result of one blow after another. Not to mention, the chief envoy and the inspector-general are all provincial-level cadres.
In addition, after the East Palace intervened in government affairs, the position of prefect was different from before. This time, all the prefects of Huzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Hangzhou, and Taizhou in Zhejiang were arrested. This is also lacking, and it is the prefect.
You must know that after the former Zuozhong of Zhan Shifu allowed Yang Ting and served as the prefect of Qingzhou, he has now succeeded Wang Hua as the chief envoy of Shandong. The next step is to go to Beijing.
Therefore, it is actually time for the DPRK to undergo a semi-replacement of blood.
What's more, many people saw that there was already a rift between Donggong and Liu Daxia. If it weren't for Emperor Hongzhi's preference for Liu Daxia, he would have retired long ago.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao has also been thinking about the arrangements of the court recently, and often calls Wang Hao to the palace for consultation. Wang Hao didn't want to become the emperor's favorite minister like Liu Daxia, so he usually asked others to be brought along.
For example, Han Wen, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Zeng Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was no longer Xie Qianjian, but an old minister named Min Gui. He took over as the Minister of Punishment in the 13th year of Hongzhi.
Min Gui and Li Dongyang were Jinshi in the same field. They held important positions such as Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Governor of Jiangxi and Yushi of Zuodu. When he was the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he captured bandits and broke up fortresses, but waiting for him to become the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was actually law enforcement. It is more forgiving.
He also has a stubborn personality, and sometimes Hongzhi is a little afraid of him. He even said to people in private: I know that Min Kyu is mature and talents are rare.
In fact, the prince is a bit strict. Logically speaking, he shouldn't get along with the prince. However, in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the East Palace issued an edict: Jinyiwei was not allowed to do so, and private torture was prohibited. Now everyone in the court knows that when he heard this decree, Min Gyu burst into tears, and then he went to the palace gate to kneel down and worship.

Too much. Now it depends on whether the prince is willing to take over the post of Minister of Rites.
In fact, Wang Hao also gave suggestions: Lin Han, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and Zhang Mao, Jiujiu of the Imperial Academy in Nanjing. Lin Han had been the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, so he was more suitable. As for Zhang Mao, he is a truly honest official.
Now Zhu Houzhao was smart. He asked Mao Yuwen to set up a special civil service department, just to find out whether there were any entangled interests behind those who were in charge. Fortunately, not all civil servants in the Ming Dynasty were righteous and moral on the surface. This Zhang Mao was really poor. According to the archives, his salary was only enough to cover the day and night, he had never purchased any land, and he had no money for food and clothing.
It is said that his family ate wheat crumbs to satisfy their hunger during the lean season. If they entertained guests, they should try to collect them during the Qingming Festival or Winter Solstice, because there would be leftover tributes from sacrifices during such festivals.
Wang Hao knew that the prince was not really obsessed with attacking ministers, he just hated that kind of hypocrite. If you are truly a gentleman, that's okay. In an administrative environment like the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to be greedy but not greedy.
So even though Zhang Mao was just a minister of the Imperial Academy (the president of the highest institution of higher education, and also has some of the functions of the Minister of Education today), Wang Hao still recommended it.
Today, these people gathered in the East Palace, which actually means a bit of court promotion. Zhu Houzhao would not fail to give them a chance to speak, so after Wang Hao finished speaking, he asked: "Gentlemen, what do you think?"
"Wei Chen thinks that Lin Han, the Minister of War in Nanjing, can be appointed as the Minister of Rites." Han Wen spoke first.
After all, everyone knows Lin Han's resume.
"I second the proposal." Neither Liang Chu nor Gu Zuo had any objections.
Zhu Houzhao stood up and said, "There is news from Zhejiang. Qian Shi, the minister of Guanglu Temple, has an affair with a prison officer in Zhejiang. One of them is in the local area and the other is in the capital, but they work well together. They are both literate people. Sometimes I don’t even understand how they write memorials that I don’t believe in, so how dare they send them to you?”
"A few days ago, I read the "Records of Xianzong", which mentioned that in the second year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong wanted to display lanterns and fireworks during the Lantern Festival to have fun with the people and share the prosperous times. After Zhang Mao heard about it, He hurriedly wrote a memorial to remonstrate, saying that Sichuan, Jiangxi, and Huguang were all suffering from drought. The red land was thousands of miles away, and the people were crying and waiting for food. How could the emperor say that the world was peaceful at this time? Many people had written memorials like this, but once When he turns around, he turns out to be a corrupt official. This is the difference between Qian Shi, Xu Ruoqin and others and Zhang Mao."….
"Nowadays, some people in the court say that the Prince of the East Palace is smart enough to refuse advice. But they don't think about what advice I am rejecting. If it is like Zhang Mao, who advises me to save money and worry about the people, what can I do? Will you refuse?"
According to the prince's wishes, Zhang Mao is going to be used.
"Historical records also show that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty worked hard to govern the country when he first came to the throne, but in his later years he neglected government affairs and favored female officials. Dear gentlemen, if one day in the future I will behave extravagantly and forget about the people of the world, you will also be like Zhang Mao. Remind me."
Wang Hao and other officials naturally sighed and praised the prince's words.
Now some ministers say that this prince is not good and that is not good. But why are ministers like them, who are also members of Qingliu, convinced of the prince one by one? After all, if you get to know him more, you will know that the prince has never had any problems with extravagant enjoyment and indulgence.
Even though the Jin Yiwei have a stronger sense of presence now than before, but the prince won't let them do evil, who among them would dare? In fact, he was put under the control of the prince.
Of course, protecting shortcomings is another matter.
"Your Highness, Zhang Mao's first wife passed away this year. He has been asking for resignation, so he is afraid that he will not accept the appointment from the imperial court." Gu Zuoshang, the left minister of the household department, said.
Zhu Houzhao blinked, "If you don't accept it, you can go and invite him. Since he is a truly upright official, it is appropriate for the court to show its attitude of seeking talents. Fengxi, write a note and transfer Zhang Mao to the position of Zuo Deputy Censor, and Lin Han will be appointed as the censor of the left deputy capital. The Minister of Rites then asked Liu Jin to deliver it to the cabinet."
The censor of Zuo Fudu, not the censor of Zuodu?
Then, the prince revealed the answer to the mystery, "As for the censor of Zuodu, after Dai Zongxian takes office, let the former deputy censor Zhang Fuhua take over."
Zhang Fuhua is also a very capable person.
So in the end, the prince did not fully follow Wang Kuo's suggestion, but made slight changes.
But all ministers are fine
In fact, they were used to this opinion. They saluted and said: "Your Highness is wise!"
This is not directed at Wang Hao. Basically, Zhu Houzhao would slightly change the suggestions or memorials of every minister, even his close associates. Unless it's really a good fit.
This has nothing to do with the relationship between the prince and his ministers.
This is one of the faces of power at work.
I just want to tell everyone that you can make suggestions on big and small matters in the DPRK, but in the end, what I say will prevail. No matter how small a change is, it is still a change. Once it is changed, I will implement it accordingly.
Otherwise, if the emperor always listens to a favorite and whatever he says, there will be problems. Maybe this favorite is really powerful and fair. But if it happens more often and over time, others will think: Huh? His words work, and the emperor likes to listen to him, so can I just go to him?
Authority rests on top. This sentence can’t just be said.
However, when this piece of paper was sent to the cabinet, Li Dongyang tasted something else.
"...I know Zhang Mao well. During the Chenghua period, he was known as the 'Four Admonitions of the Hanlin Academy'. He always followed the law to benefit the people. He could be called a breeze in both sleeves, but he also had a resolute personality and did not know how to adapt. , How could His Highness suddenly activate him?"
They would not despise the prince's political talents. If you don't understand his political behavior, that's your problem, not the prince's. ….
"The emperor was talking to us yesterday, and I'm afraid he also heard some criticisms from the ministers in the DPRK. First, Zhejiang's treatment was extremely harsh, and second, the prince returned the memorial and refused to accept the advice. The emperor has considered this, and will His Highness also consider it? One section?" Xie Qian tried to analyze.
"You mean... Dong Gong has softened his attitude?" Li Dongyang asked directly without asking.
From the tenth year of Hongzhi to today, they have never seen anything like this.
Mr. Liu Ge stroked the note, and there seemed to be some understanding in his brows. It seemed that he was going to take advantage of justice and kill the rebellious officials again...
"Bin Zhi, Yu Qiao, recently the cabinet has to put more restraints on its ministers. When entering the palace to report correctly, and when returning home from duty, you must strictly abide by etiquette and discipline. Since you are an official of the imperial court, you must behave like an official."
The prince's reign is very different from that of today's emperor. Originally, everyone expected the emperor to mediate and mediate, but after a brief discussion yesterday, Liu Jian understood the emperor's intention very well.
The emperor delegated power to the prince because he was smart and good at governing the country. Think about it, how could an emperor just consider the family relationship between father and son and let him arrest and execute so many ministers at will?
Speaking of which, after the emperor had some free time recently, he began to think about other things. There was so much free time.
In fact, Emperor Hongzhi had already been thinking about it when he felt that his health was not good. He was afraid that he would not have much time left, and as a father, he actually wanted to see his son get married and grow up. After my body recovered a little and I had strength again, I went to discuss with Queen Zhang.
"It's actually very hard for Zhao'er to handle government affairs. Do you want to find someone to take care of him?"
"Ming Huidian" records: According to the ancestral system, the emperor's legitimate son is on the throne, and his sons are awarded the title of king. They must choose to marry at the age of fifteen and live in the capital.
The ancestral age is until the age of fifteen, but under special circumstances, it will be postponed or brought forward. The most famous one is Zhu Changluo, the son of Emperor Wanli. Because Emperor Wanli did not like him, his marriage was seriously delayed, and he did not get married until he was twenty. ; Emperor Hongzhi himself also postponed the age to seventeen. This was related to Xianzong's desire to change the prince, so Hongzhi felt a pain in his heart. Now he doesn't want his son to do it again.
In addition, the royal wedding process is very complicated. From preparation to completion, the time span usually takes more than a year. After all, we are not breeding pets for the family, so we can't just do it casually.
Therefore, although the emperor's consideration was a bit premature, it is not surprising that such a result would come out.
