The military department is in trouble!
After hearing this, Xia Yan knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and his voice trembled: "Xia Yan, my minister, accept the decree and thank you for your kindness. I will work hard and live up to your majesty's high expectations!"
The left and right subjects in the six subjects are all from the seventh level, and all the things are only from the seventh level.
Due to its status as a restricted speaker, its grade can only be this.
But being given a job in every subject, this is not a simple promotion.
The military officers and military officers are now all under Xia Yan's command.
That's not all.
In ordinary things, you can only talk about them sparsely.
However, those who are in charge of the military department, Xia Yan, who is in charge of military affairs, will have the right to refute memorials and decrees involving major military and national affairs from now on.
Even because of his tendency to pay more attention to border towns in his memorials, the emperor did not make him suspicious, but instead gave him the appointment of a military officer.
This is not something he dares to say in public. Your Majesty just wants to set an example.
Because the emperor also gave him a specific mission: to cooperate and supervise the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Ministry of War to dismantle the official troops in Beijing and reestablish the three major battalions.
Although he is not in charge, this supervisory official carries considerable weight.
Xia Yan was moved because his talents shown in the memorial were recognized by the emperor.
The border towns should also pay attention, and his military department should also be specifically involved in the affairs of the Beijing camp.
Guo Xun immediately went to make an appointment with Xia Yan without hesitation: he was just a small official at first, but now he is obviously in the eyes of the emperor. It is absolutely impossible for anyone who has the emperor's discernment to fail to understand what the emperor wants in this matter.
Xia Yan will not disregard the interests of the generals. If he can mediate this matter between the Ministry of War and the military officials, Xia Yan's next step will definitely be more than just a half-level promotion!
A potential stock.
Over at the palace, another memorial was presented to Zhu Houcong, and it also involved potential stocks.
After a moment of silence, he casually gave instructions: "Mr. Xuanliang Pavilion."
Zhang Zuo's heart trembled: "Yes."
Only declare Liang Chu?
Having learned his lesson, he stopped asking questions. But he knew that Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, and Mao Ji would think too much after he went to Wenyuan Pavilion.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, this is the first time he has summoned a cabinet minister alone.
Liang Chu came to Xinuan Pavilion with his speculations. After saluting, he was given a seat and felt a little at ease.
"When the Ministry of Rites submitted a memorial regarding the palace examination, they also submitted a separate memorial."
As the emperor, Zhu Houcong didn't want to put so much effort into planning the questions in the palace examination and selecting the examiners, so he just left it to them. Anyway, the palace examination only ranked, not failed.
Of course the Gongsheng students will guess what the question is. This file reader at least has the power to assign people to the second or third level.
The palace examination ranks Gong students in the first subject, and their origins are determined from then on.
Those given to the emperor are usually those who are ranked among the top ten in everyone's discussion.
Those who are really talented will not be bound by so many unspoken rules in Zhu Houcong's court, because their birth limit determines the upper limit.
The palace examination is quite serious. There will be seventeen examiners, all of whom are Jinshi.
Now Yuan Zonggao, together with the Hanlin Academy, had selected some candidates for the document readers and asked Zhu Houcong to appoint them. They also asked the emperor to arrange the decision of policy topics. However, Zhu Houcong was asked to recruit Liang Chu with another memorial.
Liang Chu only heard the emperor ask: "The head of the Ministry of Rites asked the tribute student Huang Zuo to take the examination because he violated Mao Cheng's charter. Wang Shifang is Mao Cheng's son-in-law. Please tell me whether to expel the tribute student. This is a trivial matter, but the cabinet elders did not give any advice. Sent to me?"
Liang Chu's heart skipped a beat. After looking at the emperor, he sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you for being frightened. This matter involves Mao Cheng, so I'd better ask your Majesty to judge."
The matter is indeed small, but it is related to the emperor's true attitude towards Mao Cheng.
The cabinet sent the draft without giving it, which was indeed a clear test.
Liang Chu also knew why he was summoned.
Why is Huang Zuo so miserable?
He never believed that the emperor didn't know that he and Huang Zuonai were from the same hometown and had been in contact before.
"It seems that the elders have discussed it. What does Mr. Liang think?"
Now when he heard the emperor's question, Liang Chu immediately replied seriously: "Although Mao Cheng is stupid and pedantic, he did this matter correctly. But the head of the Ministry of Rites insisted on implicating Xinke Gongsheng because of Mao Cheng's matter. He was really speculating on his superior's intentions and causing trouble. I will not hide it from your majesty, but Huang Zuo is a junior student from my hometown, and he has a reputation for talent. When Shi Bangyan presided over the examination last year, he actually ranked Huang Zuo at the top of the list, which shows his talent."
After that, he talked about the difficulties of Huang Zuoke's journey, in the tone of telling interesting things, but the name was remembered by the emperor after all.
"It sounds really rough...If it was ranked first, why was it ranked eighteenth later?"
"Even though he is only ranked eighteen, it can be said that Mao Cheng has left no talent behind for the country."
How complicated is the internal situation of the examination chief? It's not a ranking that really determines one's origin. It's enough that Huang Zuo can be ranked among them. Liang Chu doesn't need to say anything more about the process.
What is important is how much of the emperor's use of Mao Cheng to establish his authority was out of genuine anger and how much was just a means.
Will this power continue to be established?
Zhu Houcong took a deep look at Liang Chu: "I didn't expect that Huang Zuo had such bad luck before, so let's see which class Huang Zuo can get into this time. As for Wang Shifang, let him take the exam."
The more the emperor ignores past grievances, the more embarrassed Mao Cheng becomes?
His children and disciples are still serving as officials, and the Mao family will not collapse. But if in the future they get involved in some land disputes or corruption and bribery disputes by virtue of their status as gentry, it will be an easy excuse to take advantage of.
Liang Chu immediately left his seat and knelt down: "Your Majesty is wise, and students all over the world will admire your Majesty's magnanimity!"
Zhu Houcong just waved his hand: "Yesterday, I said that the monarch and his ministers care about each other. Why are we still testing like this? We all put our minds down. I only checked the family background. When did I ever think about settling old scores? In addition to unifying the law, I There have been some wars. Could it be that this period of time still makes you all uneasy?"
Faced with the emperor's question, Liang Chu could only smile awkwardly in return.
The start is so exciting, what do you think? You who went for a run when someone was unfaithful, you who was almost burned by fire but remained calm as usual, you who understood the etiquette so well and behaved well at the sutra banquet.
Everyone who has learned the method feels that the king's heart is even more unpredictable.
Zhu Houcong revealed their intention, but he was called here for another thing: "These days, the Ministry of Rites is busy preparing for the posthumous ceremony for the emperor's brother. I suddenly remembered that Xiaomiao once gave a posthumous gift to Shaobao as the special emperor Guanglu. , Zhu Guo, Taifu, I pursued the posthumous title of Su Min. This posthumous title is not enough to express the merits of the Duke's life. I first ascended to the great treasure, and I intend to pursue a beautiful posthumous title to comfort the heroic spirit. It was not convenient for Xiaomiao to do a thorough job at that time, and I Let my nephew do it.”
Liang Chu was stunned: "Is your Majesty determined to do this?"
Will the emperor rehabilitate Yu Qian again?
Liang Chu didn't believe that he didn't understand the sensitivity involved.
His old brain was also running rapidly: I will never believe that you have thought about this before. Now that the Nisei Sect disaster has just passed, what do you want to do with this?
Yu Qian saved the Ming Dynasty, but he did not stop the coup, and then he was unjustly killed by Yingzong. Xianzong was the son of Yingzong, so it was inconvenient for him to completely overturn the verdict; Xiaomiao was the grandson of Yingzong, so his posthumous title was too modest, which was actually a kind of vindication.
What is involved is the brothers Yingzong and Emperor Jing, and the emperor's decision represents the attitude of the imperial power.
What does this matter have to do with someone trying to assassinate someone and commit rebellion?
Zhu Houcong nodded: "I have made up my mind. In my opinion, Yu Gong is worthy of the beautiful posthumous title of Zhongwu. I want to inform the world and hope that all officials will regard Yu Gong as a model. In addition, I think Yu Gong is worthy of the posthumous title of Zhongwu." Your meritorious service deserves to be enjoyed in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. This matter involves a lot, and I want the elders to discuss what to do first."
When Liang Chu heard the posthumous title "Zhongwu", he felt indescribable envy in his heart.
Zhongwu! Zhuge Liang’s posthumous title!
When he heard that he was entitled to enjoy the Ancestral Temple, Liang Chu even got goosebumps all over his body.
He understood immediately and asked tremblingly: "Do you deserve... deserve to enjoy the Ancestral Temple?"
Zhu Houcong laughed: "What? Doesn't it conform to the old system?"
