Chapter 409 408 Vacation

At this time, in the lobby of the Ministry of War, the doctors, the Yuanwailang and the chief officials gathered together, discussing where to draw troops. In the side hall, the Minister of War Yang Bo and the two ministers were discussing strategies to suppress the thieves and selecting generals.

Now the Ministry of War has to plan according to the worst-case scenario, that is, to establish two command systems in Fujian, commanding the suppression of bandits and the destruction of Japanese troops.

"I still think it's inappropriate for you to choose a general from the Nine-side side to Fujian.

It is true that there are many generals from the Ming Dynasty on the Nine Borders, but their combat environment is very different from that in the south. With the complex terrain conditions there, personal courage cannot be used, and the environment will not be adapted to the local conditions."

Yang Bo said to the two below.

Before, when discussing the selection of a general in charge and unified command of the army to suppress the bandits, generals with a little more famous south had already been recruited to Zhejiang and other places to guard against Japanese pirates, where could there be suitable generals for dispatch.

Yang Bo mentioned one person before, but he was opposed, not because of his hometown, but because he was newly appointed and was not suitable for transferring again in such a short time.

Yes, the person Yang Bo thought of was Yu Dayou, who had already served in Guizhou.

Although Yu Dayou is from Fujian, the imperial court actually paid more attention to civil officials in terms of employment. Civil officials will not be easily sent back to their provinces to serve. Although military generals also have such considerations, there is not much resistance to actually implementing them.

Like Yu Dayou, given the position of general whom he is now, there are actually not many people who have been transferred back to Fujian, which means that there will be more oppositions at the level of the general.

While officials from the Ministry of War discussed the response to the situation in Fujian, Emperor Jiajing in the Yongshou Palace in Xiyuan was also angry.

The cabinet and the Sili Supervisor did not deliberately block the time for reporting the Fujian memorials, but the documents arrived in the afternoon. After the cabinet urgently handled the matter, it was sent to the palace.

The Silijian naturally dared not delay it. This is what Emperor Jiajing knew, and no one had the courage to suppress it. It was just that Emperor Jiajing's office habit. As long as Altan Khan was not hitting the walls of the capital, he had to wait for the emperor to finish all the homework he should do today.

"Deploy troops and generals, and eliminate them as soon as possible, haha"

Emperor Jiajing had a habit of not being angry when he was extremely angry, but often sneered. However, from the eyes of people around him, this was more terrifying than the devil's smile.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing gently repeated the last two sentences from the cabinet bill.

"I criticize the redemption, then let Hu Zongxian dispatch troops to wipe out the rebels."

At this time, Emperor Jiajing had already put away the uneasy smile and still chose to believe in the judgment of the cabinet. Instead, he did not send someone to open the palace gate with a sign in the middle of the night and summon the cabinet ministers and the Minister of War.

In the eyes of the eunuchs and servants around him, it seemed that this was the trust of Emperor Jiajing in the cabinet ministers and obeyed their votes. However, among the people present, Huang Jin, who had been with Emperor Jiajing for the longest time, seemed to see a clue. Even Gao Zhong only thought that it was the choice made by the emperor after he was furious.

He sighed in his heart, and Huang Jin said nothing. Until Gao Zhong took the eunuch away with the memorial that had been handled tonight, he did not wink at Gao Zhong.

"I'm going to sleep."

Just as Huang Jin was standing, Emperor Jiajing suddenly stood up and walked towards the bedroom, saying.

Of course, this is aimed at the leisurely yamen in Beijing, local governing and inspectors, and other military-related yamen.

During the period from sealing to opening the seal, officials from the capital to local governments can rest and have fun freely, but things are not absolute. If the government offices encounter emergency events during the sealing period, they will still take them out and use them and work normally.

And those key departments in the capital are even more unlikely to seal for a few days and ignore anything. Important matters related to military and national plans must be promptly submitted to the emperor and handled in an urgent manner.

There is a folk legend that whenever the government seals the yamen, the gangsters on the streets will go to the streets to do whatever they want without anyone to manage. In fact, this is just hearsay or take it for granted.

For example, in the six ministries and five temples in the capital, as well as Yingtian Mansion, Wanping and Daxing County Yamen must also seal the yamen on this day, but it just said that they would no longer work.

The yamen like the Five City Military and Ma Si who are responsible for police thieves in the capital, quarantine streets, ditches, prisoners, fire bans, etc., as well as the yamen runners from one prefecture and two counties are all sent to the streets to maintain order.

Of course, the gangsters caught can only be thrown into the prison, and the master of the yamen handles the case after the seal is opened.

Both the patrol soldiers and prefectures and counties are still very concerned about catching these gangsters who have been idle in the past.

People were caught, but no master came to ask about it. Those who could show their benefits and respect them would not have to spend the New Year in prison. They could leave early, anyway, no one cared about it at that time.

As for those gangsters with great backgrounds, those who have been doing things in the past and are not afraid of the government will naturally not take the New Year to make trouble. In these days, they are the quietest, because they also have to celebrate the New Year and respect the people behind them.

Therefore, from the days before and after the lunar calendar to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the safest time, and ordinary people can go out to the streets to play with confidence.

"Seal" and "opening seals" are important matters in the yamen. As usual, grand ceremonies will be held in these two days. At that time, the yamen will be decorated with lights and officials will wear formal official uniforms and give great gifts.

Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng both attended the sealing ceremony at the Hanlin Academy. They are now both sixth-rank attendants in the Hanlin Academy. There are only Hanlin Bachelor and four attendants, and the lecturer bachelor can stand in the front row of the Hanlin Academy queue.

The person who presided over the ceremony today was Yuan Wei, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. He was in charge of the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor of lecturers, so he could only preside over the sealing ceremony of the Hanlin Academy today.

Yin Shidan was not in the Hanlin Academy. Although he was also a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, he was still the Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce and Economic Affairs Bureau.

At that time, all the officials in Hanlin Academy were standing in line with grades in front of the lobby. Yuan Wei, the lecturer standing in front, held a mahogany pallet in both hands. The tray was the seal of Hanlin Academy held by the Hanlin Academy. In a solemn and solemn atmosphere, Yuan Wei slowly walked to the incense table that had been placed in the lobby and presented the print.

After putting down the seal, Yuan Wei did not retreat to the top of the queue, but took incense from the side and lit it, respectfully inserted it into the incense burner, took two steps back and kneeled down, and then retreated aside.

In the light smoke, officials of the Hanlin Academy stepped forward to light incense and kneel down, and soon the incense burner was filled with incense burners.

When the last official completed the ceremony, Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other, took two steps forward, and congratulated Yuan Wei of the Parliament.

Although Yuan Wei was also a Hanlin Academy, who was only taken over a few days ago, the sealing ceremony was presided over by him, which naturally means that he has successfully completed the official duties of the Hanlin Academy this year, which is of course a gratitude.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Zhangyuan."

"The Master of the School has worked hard and made great contributions, and this year has finally been successful."

Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng were both congratulating Yuan Wei at this moment, saying the festive words that would make you happy. It was naturally very helpful to stop in Yuan Wei's ears.

At this time, Yuan Wei was also very easy-going and bowed to them with a smile, "Everyone encourages them together."

In fact, Yuan Wei also felt that after working hard for so many years, it seemed that the masterpieces of Qingci presented last year and this year finally touched Emperor Jiajing. His career should usher in a major turning point. The move from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Rites was an important signal, so when he heard Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng say "upwards" and "upwards step by step" he was full of joy.

Regarding the dispute between King Yu and King Jing, Yuan Wei chose neutrality and was not involved in either side.

However, after the status of King Yu was confirmed, the two people in Prince Yu's mansion were still very respectful to him, which naturally made Yuan Wei feel a little fluttered.

This year he is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. If he can be moved to the Ministry of Personnel next year, the door to the cabinet will be completely opened to him. Even King Yu will give him some face.

No matter what, King Yu only confirmed his status, but Emperor Jiajing did not intend to grant him the crown prince.

The status of the prince and the prince is obviously very different.

However, Yuan Wei still has to be polite to the people of Prince Yu’s Mansion. He is not a snob. If he knows that the people of Prince Yu’s Mansion can get along well, he must not offend him.

After Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng, other Hanlin officials rushed to come up to congratulate Yuan Wei in the prefecture, and then congratulated each other. At this time, the minor officials outside the hall had already started to set off firecrackers to celebrate the seal, making it look like the New Year.

"Crack and crackle."

Amid the harsh sound of firecrackers, Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng bowed each other and walked to the door of the lobby. Watching the lightning outside the hall dancing and red shavings flying, the surrounding officials hid aside with their ears covering their heads, while some were clapping their hands and shouting something.

Soon, firecrackers sounded crackling from the next courtyard wall, and then smoke flew into the air in the official office further away.

At this moment, the "seal" ceremony was held in various parts of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the Ming Dynasty.

"I don't know if the officials there are like our new districts in Fujian."

Wei Guangde opened his mouth slightly, smiled, and shouted to Zhang Juzheng beside him.

The sound of firecrackers was a little loud, and Zhang Juzheng couldn't hear clearly when he spoke.

"Haha, probably not."

Zhang Juzheng was not very loud, but he shook his head and said to Wei Guangde.

It was really noisy, and Wei Guangde did not continue to talk to Zhang Juzheng, but waited for the firecrackers to burn out before continuing.

Sealing the yamen does not mean that they are on holiday and can go back to their own houses. Because there are activities behind them, both of them are just standing at the door and waiting.

"When will you go to Xu Ge Lao's Mansion?"

After the firecrackers burned out outside the hall, Wei Guangde then came to Zhang Juzheng's ear and whispered.

After hearing Wei Guangde's words, Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and said to Wei Guangde: "I plan to go to see the teacher tomorrow and give me some gifts for the New Year."

"I plan to go to Xu Ge Lao's mansion tomorrow."
