#1132 cabinet minister
Originally, most people are not allowed to read such important information, nor are they allowed to leak information, but good news is different. As the saying goes, good things are not afraid of spreading, and if you win a big victory, you will naturally have to make a big announcement. Therefore, every time the inn responsible for reporting the victory enters a station or passes by a city, they will shout good news. XX wins a big victory and other things, the more people know, the better.
So the little yellow gate holding the certificate of victory ran into Wenhua Hall and shouted excitedly: "Emperor, great victory, great victory, Duke Jingguo rushed to report the victory for 800 miles, and defeated Altan's 100,000 cavalry yesterday and beheaded more than 25,000 levels."
In an instant, with a coaxing sound, the entire Wenhua Palace was boiling. Jiajing even jumped up like a slingshot on his butt. His face was flushed with excitement, and he shouted in a hurry: "Where is the good news? Come on quickly."
The little yellow gate quickly walked to the imperial throne and knelt down, and presented Xu Jin's good news with both hands. The eunuch Chang Huaien, the chief seal chief, hurried forward to get the good news and carefully turned to the imperial case.
Jiajing won the news and couldn't wait to open it. The handsome face suddenly turned redder, as if drunk. Then he smiled at the sky with a smile: "Xu Qing is really my blessing general, and I am the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. He fights back with less and defeats Altan's 100,000 troops in one battle, and beheads 25,672 levels. A great victory is really an amazing victory, as rewarded, as rewarded!!"
The ministers in Wenhua Palace couldn't help but be amazed. Xu Changsheng is really worthy of being Xu Changsheng. This title is really not for nothing. In such a desperate situation, he can turn defeat into victory and achieve such impressive results. He is really a god!
The Minister of Personnel Fang Xianfu rolled his eyes and knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, my emperor will win thousands of victories!"
I go, the old fox is really quick to flatter, and he took the lead. All the ministers hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, my emperor will win thousands of victories."
The boy Jiajing was so happy that he couldn't stop talking, and laughed: "You guys are peaceful."
When the ministers stood up, Jiajing looked at the cabinet's second assistant Liao Ji with mocking eyes. The latter was still kneeling on the ground and did not dare to get up. His old face turned red and white, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Jiajing was extremely happy. Old Man Liao, you are continuing to show off and gloat me. He even asked me to write a letter to Altan for peace, bah!
This slap came too quickly like a tornado. Liao Ji only slapped Jiajing in the face not long ago. As a result, Xu Jin's good news came immediately, and he slapped Liao Ge Lao in the face, and his old face was swollen.
The eyes of the ministers turned to Liao Ji, mocking Youzhi, gloating Youzhi, sympathizing Youzhi, sighing Youzhi, and expressions were wide. Everyone understood that when Mr. Liao Ge was finished playing, he had opposed the Northern Expedition before, the emperor was very dissatisfied with Liao Ji. If it weren't for the lack of staff in the cabinet, Mr. Liao Ge might have gone home with the chief assistant Jin Xianmin to grow sweet potatoes. This time he dared to gloat and slapped the emperor in the face. The most fatal thing was that he was slapped in the face by Xu Jin's good news.
This time, Master Liao is afraid that he will lose his fortune. At least Jin Xianmin retired as a minister and went home to grow sweet potatoes with a grand ceremony. He would not lose any retirement benefits, but Liao Ji was in trouble!
"Liao Ji, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, you do not want to serve the country, but you are gloating when you lose on the front line. You are so mean to be confused by the public. The attacks shake our army's morale and even look down on the emperor. You are really unforgivable!" Jiajing said sternly.
Liao Ji's face was ashes, and his trembling even more. He thought he was doomed today, but heard that Jiajing changed his mind and said coldly: "But I think you have been an official in the court for decades, and you have worked hard without any credit. I will just let you go. Now you have removed your official position and demoted it to a commoner as a punishment."
Liao Ji suddenly collapsed to the ground, studied hard in a hard time, and was an official for decades. Now, when he returned to the pre-liberation period, he was suffering even more than beheading him.
Without Jiajing's orders, the guards in the palace stepped forward to take off Liao Ji's black veil, stripped off their official uniforms, and then took them out.
The Minister of Personnel Fang Xianfu was secretly happy. Now that the second assistant Liao Ji was also kicked out, the only one left in the cabinet was Jia Yong and Wang Zan, who had recently entered the cabinet, and Wang Zan was his own person. Hehe, entering the cabinet is just around the corner.
Jiajing finally expelled Liao Ji from his post to the people, and finally felt refreshed. He said loudly: "Xu Qing defeated Altan's 100,000 troops, and the food supply has also been smooth. The situation of the Northern Expedition is very good. I want to reward the soldiers on the front line to boost morale."
"The emperor is wise!" The ministers quickly agreed.
If Jiajing first ascended the throne, it was the peak moment for the civil servant group to be strong, then Jiajing has completely regained the initiative and became a truly thunderous emperor. Even the cabinet ministers say that they will be removed from their posts. Of course, the premise is that the cabinet minister is guilty. If the cabinet minister is dismissed for no reason, the civil servants will probably fight to the end with Jiajing.
Jiajing nodded with satisfaction and said to Jia Yong, the chief minister of the cabinet, "I'm sorry to ask the Jia Qing family to draw an order on their behalf, and I will complete the review of it within today."
Jia Yong, the clay sculpture master, quickly sent an order to receive the order and said: "Emperor, the cabinet is now in heavy work and the old ministers are unable to do anything. I beg the emperor to supplement the cabinet ministers."
Jiajing nodded and said, "The report is correct, there is a suitable candidate for the Jia Qing family."
According to convention, to supplement the cabinet ministers, the first thing to do is to ask the cabinet ministers for their opinions, and then the court will be promoted after the candidate is reached. Finally, the emperor nodded.
Jia Yong hesitated for a moment and said, "I recommend Mr. Xia Yanxia, a Hanlin scholar."
Xia Yan couldn't help but show a hint of excitement. As the saying goes, soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. The cabinet ministers represent the highest honor of civil servants. Therefore, entering the cabinet to assist in government is the dream goal of most civil servants. Xia Yan is naturally no exception. He has ambitions and he also wants to join the cabinet to implement his own political philosophy.
Jiajing glanced at Xia Yan with a sparse eyebrows and nodded with satisfaction. Jiajing has always had a very good impression of Xia Yan, especially Xia Yan's voice is loud and his words are clear. He speaks with a regular and straight voice, and never speaks hometown dialect. In addition, Xia Yan is knowledgeable and talented and has good eloquence. Therefore, Jiajing likes the lecture hosted by Xia Yan very much and is always there.
When Fang Xianfu saw Jiajing's expression, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He thought it would be his turn this time, but he didn't expect Xia Yan to appear halfway. Jia Yong, an old man, actually praised Xia Yan and his official position.
At this moment, Jiajing said, "I want to add two cabinet ministers to assist in the administration. Xia Qing's family is one, do you have other suitable candidates?"
Wang Zan, who had just entered the cabinet, immediately said: "Emperor, I recommend Fang Shuxian, the Minister of Personnel. Lord Fang has been in the court for many years and has rich experience in governance, so he is the only one to choose."
Fang Xianfu was secretly happy and quickly pretended to leave the class and refused a few words. Many ministers in the hall showed contempt. Before, Wang Zan entered the pavilion and recommended Fang Xianfu to enter the pavilion. Now Wang Zan recommended Fang Xianfu to enter the pavilion. The two really reciprocate and exchanged courtesy!
Jiajing continued to ask without comment: "You have other suitable candidates, so you can also recommend it to the Tingtui."
Fang Xianfu couldn't help feeling cold when he heard this. It seemed that the emperor didn't want it to belong to him. After thinking about it carefully, Fang Xianfu vaguely understood the reason and couldn't help but feel upset. It was obvious that Wang Zan recommended him to the cabinet himself. Now Wang Zan has brought him into the cabinet in turn, which is suspected of forming cliques. The emperor is not a fool, so how could he agree?
Fang Xianfu understood the reason and regretted it. Alas, if he had known that he shouldn't have listened to Zhang Cong, he would have recommended Wang Zan to enter the cabinet. It would have been a waste of time for others to make wedding clothes. It seems that as long as Wang Zan is in the cabinet for one day, he would not be able to enter the cabinet for one day.
Fang Xianfu guessed it was indeed good. Jiajing was smart. If the cabinet ministers were aligned, they would inevitably constrain his imperial power. How could they allow the two to recommend each other to the cabinet?
Therefore, the final result of the court recommendation was that Xia Yan, a Hanlin scholar, joined the cabinet and served as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and continued to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy. Zhai Luan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, entered the cabinet and served as the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion, and continued to serve as the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
