Chapter 598 597 The fourth grade

The edict of Gao Gong and Guo Pu entering the cabinet was also a signal, representing the re-adjustment of the power of the court by Emperor Jiajing.

Gao Gong is a human being. Since he left Prince Yu's mansion and entered the court, he has become more perverse in his work. Although he still remains modest and gentle in front of others, his behavior has become more domineering.

Although he was the last seat of the Dongge Grand Secretary, everyone who knew him in the court knew that Gao Gong would never be willing to become a chess piece in the cabinet at the mercy of others. The battle between him and Xu Jie would be

Inevitably.

Provoking internal struggles among ministers and the emperor mediated in a high position. This has become the usual means for Emperor Jiajing to control the court and is also well known to the ministers.

Therefore, no one expected this personnel adjustment and Emperor Jiajing's deeper purpose was to restore the court to its original state.

However, the positions of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Personnel were vacant, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone.

The ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel were both eyeing this position, especially Chen Yiqin, who was the most popular.

Of course, the big reason why everyone supports Chen Yiqin ascends to power is because of King Yu.

Although the cabinet ministers all hold the posts of ministers of various departments, they generally do not directly manage each department, but only to improve their rank.

After all, if the cabinet ministers only hold the title of Grand Secretary, they can only be in the fifth rank official position, and they have to stand behind when they go to court.

Such a fight between gods and immortals naturally has nothing to do with people like Wei Guangde. They can only focus on spending their time in the school recording hall, but they avoid a lot of trouble.

"Master, this is sent by the Prince Yu's Mansion."

Wei Guangde was proofreading the book, and Lu Bu came in from outside the door and sent a letter from Prince Yu's mansion.

Wei Guangde had to temporarily put down the copy of the ceremony and took out the notes and browsed them quickly.

There are not many words, but they directly affect the political situation of the court.

"Bo was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, Gao Yi was promoted to the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Bingran returned to the court to advance to the Ministry of War."

After reading the content on the note, Wei Guangde just waved his hand and signaled to go down.

The Prince Yu's Mansion did not know whether it was through the Silijian or some method, but he learned about Emperor Jiajing's adjustment to the imperial officials this time, and the adjustment method was also unexpected.

Zhao Bingran, the Governor of Xuanda, stepped down and returned to the capital to take charge of the Minister of War. Yang Bo, the former Minister of War, went to the Ministry of Personnel to serve as the Minister of Justice. As for Gao Yi's promotion from Minister of Rites to Minister of Rites, it was actually within Wei Guangde's speculation.

In fact, Wei Guangde initially planned to replace Gao Gong with one of Chen Yiqin and Gao Yi.

However, Yang Bo's transfer was somewhat beyond Wei Guangde's expectations. Does Yang Bo still have a chance to join the cabinet?

At this moment, this thought flashed in Wei Guangde's mind.

The Minister of War entered the cabinet except for Liu Jin in the Zhengde Dynasty, which almost never appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Instead, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel often became the springboard for ministers to enter the cabinet.

Emperor Jiajing suddenly transferred Yang Bo's position this time, giving people a very strong feeling, that is, he intentionally let Yang Bo enter the cabinet.

Putting aside other words, Yang Bo is indeed capable of entering the cabinet, but his past experience is completely unrelated to the cabinet ministers. This is also before the decree is released, no one would have thought that Yang Bo would be moved to the Ministry of Personnel.

The opportunity of the Secretary of the House.

Prince Yu's mansion seemed to have accepted his fate, and did not rush to recall Wei Guangde, Zhang Juzheng and others during this major official adjustment.

Perhaps, he had experienced too much in Gao Gong's promotion, and King Yu also figured out a lot of things.

Anyway, when it was the scattered yamen, Wei Guangde did not receive any new news from Prince Yu's mansion.

A few days later, as recorded in that note, Yang Bo was changed to the Minister of Personnel, Gao Yi was promoted to the Minister of Rites, and the recall of Zhao Bingran, Governor of Xuanda, had been sent to Datong through six disciplines.

The transfer of officials in the court this time is a big deal. Wei Guangde originally thought it would have nothing to do with him. Now they are constantly being encouraged by eunuchs in the inner court, allowing them to speed up the copy of the "Yongle Encyclopedia".

However, it seems that Emperor Jiajing has not forgotten them, such unknown and hard-working officials.

On that day, when Wei Guangde was still proofreading his books, Lu Bu trotted into the payroll room again.

"Sir, Mr. Li is here, and there is an imperial edict."

"Ge Lao Li? The Imperial Issue? Whose good thing is this time?"

Wei Guangde looked up at Lu Bu and asked casually.

"Ge Lao Li asked all branch officials to go to the front lobby to receive the order."

Lu Bu said hurriedly.

"ha."

Wei Guangde felt a little excited for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.

He has no fantasy about his official position. He was promoted to an official position because of his proofreading last year. This time, it may be the same as last time. It is a kind of decree for everyone to remember merits. It can only be effective when the Beijing inspection is conducted.

Awards.

However, since Li Chunfang has come to the school recording hall, Wei Guangde naturally cannot let him wait.

I simply packed up the books, got up and left the duty room to go to the front.

The same procedure as last time was accepted, but Yan Ne was missing from the foreman, and only Li Chunfang was left standing in front of everyone.

The eunuch's unique tone was filled with ups and downs and downs, and soon Wei Guangde's face was overjoyed.

Emperor Jiajing has been paying attention to the situation here and knows that he has been working hard to complete the tasks he assigned.

Most of the officials who received the order at this time had the same expression on their faces, because this time was different from last time. Many branch officials only received merits, and this time they were really promoted. Although most of them were only half a level, this time they were

It's also promotion.

Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng undoubtedly became the big winners of this promotion. Zhang Juzheng was transferred to Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, from being promoted from a fourth-rank official position to a fourth-rank official position, and also being promoted from the Hanlin Academy, with the sixth-rank attendant lecturer to

A fifth-rank lecturer.

Wei Guangde was promoted from Zuochunfang Zuoshi to the young Zhanshifu, from a fifth-rank official to a fourth-rank official, and at the same time, Hanlin attendant was also promoted to a bachelor's attendant, and once again he was on par with Zhang Juzheng.

Although there was no crown prince, Zhan Shi Mansion was a helpless yamen, and there was no need to be a neglected person in front of the door.

However, Wei Guangde was promoted again.

Before, Zhang Juzheng was from the fourth rank, but he was only from the fifth rank. In this order to receive orders, he could only stand on the right side of Zhang Juzheng.

Although the adjustment of his official position this time could not allow him to exchange positions with Zhang Juzheng, the two of them were still on the same starting line in terms of grades.

After receiving the order, Wei Guangde noticed the envious look around him, and even Li Chunfang was a little envious when he looked at him and Zhang Juzheng.

Do the wrong work seriously and try hard to hold King Yu's thigh.

Wei Guangde was just cheering himself up in his heart at this time.

Why did Zhang Juzheng get promoted? He didn't realize that Wei Guangde was a little restrained during this period and was very calm and carefully proofreading books. Therefore, he also imitated Wei Guangde's actions and devoted himself to recording the "Yongle Encyclopedia", which should have been known by Emperor Jiajing.

You should know that among the ten branch officials, Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng, the one with the best results in the school registration are Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng.

Wei Guangde's promotion was a happy thing, but the court seemed to have begun to be lucky recently.

While Wei Guangde was still holding a banquet at his residence overnight to invite his colleagues in the capital to drink, Guangdong sent a message that mountain clan Li Yayuan gathered to capture Heyuan in Huizhou and Heping. The bandits had already begun to send troops to the surrounding prefectures and counties, and they were crowded with the people around them.

It seems that it is another Raoping thief Zhang Lian. It is reported that Li Yayuan has gathered more than 30,000 miners and tens of thousands of vassals. It is almost close to the so-called power of the Feilong Kingdom during its heyday.

Wei Guangde only learned from his colleagues the next day after the memorial was sent to the capital that he was not familiar with Zhang Lian and had never heard of Li Yayuan who emerged.

Although he claimed to have an army of 100,000, Wei Guangde believed that if the court knew about it, then he would not be far from the day of his demise.

Wei Guangde doesn't believe that a little Li Yayuan can really make a big difference.

However, he was still very interested in who will be the main general Zhao Bingran would choose as the new Minister of War.

It should be known that the Ministry of War will select generals and generals will select soldiers.

After winning, everyone is happy. When they lose, everyone is in trouble.

"The news is confirmed?"

Wei Guangde asked Ouyang Yijing, "I heard Duan Mengxian say that the Ministry of Revenue is dissatisfied with your fingers and wants to transfer you out of the household registration department."

After Ouyang Yijing was promoted to the household department, he was a little bit inflamed and began to give a note to the Ministry of Revenue. The documents began to be domineering. When Duan Mengxian heard the news, the Ministry of Revenue proposed to the cabinet that since Ouyang Yijing likes to manage affairs, the court now has the most.

The trouble is about military affairs, so it is better to transfer Ouyang Yijing to the military department.

Well, the six departments are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel. Although they have to give the appointment documents, the decision-making power is in the hands of Emperor Jiajing.

The Ministry of Revenue had to mention Ouyang Yijing in the Ministry of Revenue's report to Chen He's cabinet vote, hoping that Emperor Jiajing could move Ouyang Yijing to a place, such as to exchange it with the military department for the clerk.

"I really don't care if I stay in the household department or go to the military department."

Ouyang Yijing stroked his beard and said, "In fact, it is easier to impeach soldiers and generals. As long as you find the past achievements of those people, I can decide whether to impeach them."

"You are really addicted to impeachment. It is important to know that impeachment is a double-edged sword that hurts both others and yourself."

Wei Guangde still reminded: "Even if you are impeached, do you know who is behind him?"

"You are right and sit upright, what am I afraid of?"

Ouyang Yijing said disdainfully.

"That's not what you said."

Wei Guangde just shook his head and then smiled and said, "Music brings wealth. This is what the Ministry of Revenue should say. It seems that you are indeed not suitable to stay in the household registration department."
