Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2060, the emperor bestows marriage

"Well, good, good."

"Those who have meritorious service should be promoted and reused, and those who do nothing and have a vegetarian diet should go home early to retire."

"Let's appoint according to this list."

In Shangshufang Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi looked at the list submitted by Han Wen and nodded in satisfaction.

According to this list, Tong Rui, the chief political envoy of Henan, was directly promoted to the Minister of Rites, Fang Yongliang, the chief envoy of Shaanxi, was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhong Fan, the former Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

There is naturally a huge gap between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials. In fact, it can be regarded as reuse and promotion. After all, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials controls the officials of the world and is called a heavenly official. The transfer does not need to go through the cabinet emperor.

The appointment and removal of officials above the third rank is also dominated by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. They must be nominated by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, reviewed by the cabinet, and approved by the emperor.

At the same time, a large number of vacancies in Shandong and Nanzhili were also filled by officials of the hard-working faction arranged by Hanwen. At the same time, this time, according to Emperor Hongzhi's intention, a group of Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy were sent to the lower levels. place to practice.

The Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy is quite different from the decentralization of officials in general imperial examinations.

During the general imperial examinations, the Jinshi ranked middle and low are usually sent to the local government to become officials, basically starting from the county magistrate and county magistrate of the seventh rank.

From now on, it is considered very good to be able to be the magistrate or prefect, and most of them will hardly be promoted.

Unless one is appreciated by a certain bigwig, or has a relatively deep background, then one can be promoted, and after being promoted, one has to find a way to enter the Imperial Academy. With a bright future, he can hope to become a senior official of Ming Dynasty.

Now the Hanlins of the Hanlin Academy are devolved to the local areas to practice. Naturally, they cannot be the same as them. They belong to the center of the imperial court to the local areas.

This started naturally from the prefect and prefect levels. The prefects and prefectures were all officials of the fourth rank in the Ming Dynasty, and some places like Shuntian Mansion and Yingtian Mansion were all officials of the third rank.

The starting point is high, and the promotion must be faster. This is the treatment of the Hanlin Academy. There is no way, the people who can enter the Imperial Academy are the best in the imperial examination, and the treatment is naturally different.

"Yes!"

Korean quickly said yes.

This time, the hard-working faction fought a beautiful counterattack, severely injuring the conservative officials.

In the past, among the cabinet and the six ministers, how many officials were from the old school, but now, there are suddenly more officials from the practical school than the old school.

Han Wen is the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Zhong Fan is the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Li Kun is the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, Fang Yongliang is the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Tong Rui is the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials. The number of people suddenly overwhelmed the conservative Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Wang Qiong, Qiao Yu and others are conservative.

Compared with Han Wen, Zhong Fan, Li Kun and other hard-working officials who were all smiling, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe and others were expressionless. This time the conservative officials did not get any position.

That is to say, many Hanlins from the Hanlin Academy have been sent down.

But when they get to the place, these Hanlins may soon become practical officials. There is no way. The assessment system formulated by Liu Jin is like this. It relies on data and indicators to speak, and other things are not easy to use.

Over the years, everyone has gotten used to it, and it has had a far-reaching impact. A large number of hard-working officials have continued to rise, and now they have directly reached the center of the court.

Zhong Fan, Li Kun, Fang Yongliang, and Tong Rui are all like this, and there are more local officials in the frontier.

The small meeting in the Shangshufang ended soon, and the ministers left one after another, and they still have to go to work. There are still many things to do now, such as the aftermath of the epidemic, and the impact of the drought in many aspects, etc., calculate these One of the few years to worry about.

After they left, Emperor Hongzhi also began to review the memorials. Now there are many more memorials than before, and he needs to spend more time reading the memorials every day.

"His Majesty!"

When it was almost noon, Queen Zhang brought Princess Nanyang to the Shang Study Room.

"Father~"

"Haha, it's Nanyang!"

Seeing Princess Nanyang and Empress Zhang, Emperor Hongzhi ignored Empress Zhang and quickly put down the work in his hands. This daughter is his darling and treasure.

Empress Zhang couldn't help smiling when she saw this scene.

"Father, you have to forget to eat on time again."

Princess Nanyang looked at a table of memorials and said, "Really, why are there so many memorials now than before?"

"No, no, how could the father forget to eat?"

"Our Ming Dynasty is very big, with a total of 2 million people. Naturally, there are many, many things, big and small. It's not surprising."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said.

"You, didn't you forget to eat."

"This daughter has really forgotten the important event in her life. It's almost winter. In a few months, Nanyang will be nineteen years old."

Empress Zhang said with some dissatisfaction.

She came here this time, of course, for the matter of the Nanyang Princess. The Nanyang Princess and Liu Jin's youngest son, Liu Qing, also talked very well. The progress was fast, and they fell in love with each other. In addition, they are already old, and it is time to get married. .

Earlier, it was because Daming was plagued by drought and plague, so Empress Zhang did not come to cause trouble for Emperor Hongzhi. Now that the epidemic is over, winter will soon begin again.

Queen Zhang felt that it was time to take care of the important affairs of Princess Nanyang.

"Ah~"

"I actually forgot about it."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately slapped himself on the forehead. He was indeed too busy during this period of time, and there were too many things to worry about.

This has forgotten the lifelong event of his daughter.

"Nanyang, how did your talk with Liu Qing go?"

"Do you think he is a reliable person?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Princess Nanyang and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, Princess Nanyang blushed immediately.

She can be regarded as the happiest princess, she can choose the person she wants to like, and she can also talk first and cultivate feelings, which was simply impossible in the past.

Princesses seem to be noble, but in fact they often have a miserable fate. Although the princesses of the Ming Dynasty are said to marry ordinary children, they are still much better than the princesses of previous dynasties.

As the jewel in the palm of Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, Princess Nanyang loved her very much, for fear that her life would be difficult and her marriage would be difficult.

So she is allowed to choose by herself, and she can also talk about it in advance and cultivate feelings. This is completely incredible, which shows that Emperor Hongzhi and Queen Zhang dote on her.

It can be said that she was born in a honey pot. Emperor Hongzhi loved her since she was a child, and her brother Zhu Houzhao loved her after that.

"Liu Qing is very kind to me."

Princess Nanyang blushed, lowered her head, and her voice was very, very small.

"Haha, as long as he treats you nicely."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately nodded in satisfaction.

As long as the daughter likes it, the key is that Liu Qing treats her well and has a good relationship with her, that's enough. As for Liu Qingzheng, he is a philanderer and has a relationship with another girl.

It doesn't seem to matter. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Even if there is no such thing, the Nanyang princess will have to marry many maids and maids. These will serve the princess and concubines in the future, no At least they are going to become concubines.

"Empress, prepare well, prepare well, I am the only daughter, and I must marry off gracefully."

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi discussed the matter with Empress Zhang.

Just this one daughter is naturally regarded as a treasure, and when she is about to get married, she naturally needs to prepare well and get married in a prosperous manner.

"Let's put it down, I will order someone to prepare properly, and keep Nanyang's marriage in a good place."

Empress Zhang naturally agreed with respect.

Now it is not as poor as before. In the past, even the emperor was very poor. The dowry that can be given to the princess is actually very limited. It is often given some gold and silver jewelry, cloth and satin, and some fields.

Now the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty is very rich, the property is very huge, and Emperor Hongzhi only has this daughter, so it is absolutely astonishing that the dowry alone has to be carefully prepared.

Liu Jin's hometown, Liu Jin soon received an order from the capital.

"Ah, you want to marry Princess Nanyang to Liu Qing?"

Liu Jin, who received the imperial edict, was dumbfounded.

To be honest, I never thought about getting married with the emperor, because the tradition of Ming Dynasty was like this, the emperor would not marry the daughter of a prince or minister, nor would he marry a princess to a prince or minister, they all chose from common people.

Now Emperor Hongzhi wants to marry his precious princess to his youngest son Liu Qing. For Liu Jin, this is a great honor, but it will also bring a lot of pressure.

The princess is not so easy to marry. There will be a lot of rules in the future. At least at home, I have to greet the princess every day, which is always troublesome.

"Ah~"

"I still think about going to travel around the world in a few years. Enrong keeps adding to it. It won't be so easy to get away from now on."

Liu Jin sighed helplessly.

If I had known that Liu Qing's marriage had been settled earlier, I wouldn't have any troubles now.

"Fortunately, Princess Nanyang has always been well-educated and reasonable, and she is not a savage princess, otherwise it would be even more troublesome."

Liu Jin thought in his heart that in the Ming Dynasty, everyone was unwilling to marry a princess, because marrying a princess meant losing his future, and there would be no chances in the future.

From the beginning, Liu Qing didn't think about being in the officialdom, so it was nothing.
