Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 127

Wang Zhi is telling the emperor in a disguised form that he has done enough.

Helping the new king to ascend the throne, stabilizing the court and the people, and even supporting a courtier like Yu Qian who can take charge of the overall situation.

So, let him, a veteran of the four dynasties, be let go!
Therefore, sometimes, the positions of the emperor and the ministers are opposite.

It is understandable that Wang Zhi wants to keep his name and wealth, but it is impossible for Zhu Qiyu to let him go to office at this time.

His new king ascended the throne, and the situation was in danger, and it was too late to promote people, so how could he easily shake Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Don't say it is this time, when there is nothing wrong with ordinary peace, it is also a big event in the court for such a head of officials who have served for four dynasties to become an official.

Naturally, it is even more impossible now!

Not long after, Zhu Qiyu came to Fengtian Hall in his shoulder car.

Today is the regular court every ten days, and basically all the officials in Beijing have arrived, which is why Zhu Qiyu is angry.

Forget about the Japanese court, Wang Zhi, a heavenly official from the bureaucracy, was openly absent on occasions like the Changchao, which was clearly persecuting him, the emperor.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

As the group of officials saluted and saluted, Zhu Qiyu clearly saw that there was a place where the head of the civil servants was missing a person, which looked very eye-catching.

"Pingshen, the Ministry of Officials played the performance before, and Chen Xiangwen, the chief envoy of Henan Province, has passed the performance appraisal. What is the result?"

Before the ministers started to play, Zhu Qiyu asked first.

So Zhao Xin, the servant of the Ministry of officials, came out and said.

"Returning to the emperor, this matter is over. Chen Xiangwen's performance in the examination is above average. The Ministry of officials intends to order him to be promoted to the governor of Shaanxi Province. The position of governor of Henan Province will be taken over by Miao Guang, the deputy capital of the left. This is the resume of the two, please Your Majesty's Royal View."

Then a servant took the memorial from his hand and handed it to Zhu Qiyu's desk.

Zhu Qiyu opened it for a look, then closed it and put it aside, and asked knowingly.

"Sure, why is it that Zhao Qing is here today? Where is the Heavenly Official?"

Zhao Xin replied: "Go back to the emperor, the Lord Tianguan is ill, and he is on leave today."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly felt worried, and said.

"Recently, the imperial court is indeed busy with official duties. Your family is the humerus of the country. You must take care of your health."

So the officials below fell to the ground unanimously and shouted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion, and I will do my best."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, turned his head and said.

"Jin Ying, after the imperial court today, you go to the mansion of the Tianguan yourself, bring some imperial physicians with you, and then go to the warehouse to get some high-quality medicinal materials. Zhushi, the humerus of the imperial court, was added to the crown prince Taibao, a scholar of the Huagaidian University, entered Zhiwenyuan Pavilion, and was allowed to receive double salaries."

Jin Ying was slightly surprised.

As Wang Zhi was the head of all the officials, the emperor should express his condolences when he was sick. This was nothing strange, but this kindness was a bit incomprehensible.

It's okay to be the crown prince and Taibao, after all, it's a false title, and it's nothing to get an extra salary.

But what is the meaning of this Huagaidian University Bachelor?
You must know that the current cabinet system is not perfect. Generally speaking, those who enter Zhiwenyuan Pavilion belong to the cabinet.

But to be precise, only with the addition of the title of Grand Bachelor, can one truly enter the cabinet.

From this perspective, the cabinet is actually empty now.

Because Chen Xun and Gao Gu, who are cabinet ministers, have entered Zhiwenyuan Pavilion as Hanlin Bachelors until now, and they have not been added with the title of Grand Palace Bachelor.

This decent cabinet minister didn't have the title of Grand Scholars, but it was Wang Zhi, who was sick, who joined Zhi's cabinet as an errand.

What does this mean?
So there are ministers from the bottom immediately, said.

"Your Majesty, although the lord Tianguan has worked for the country for many years, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is already an extremely human minister, and the two lords Chen Xun and Gao Gu in the cabinet have not yet been promoted. It doesn't seem right, the official department is busy, and the heavenly official has multiple jobs, so I'm afraid I won't have enough energy, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, seemingly hesitating.

After thinking about it, he didn't answer these questions, but asked Zhao Xin, the servant of the Ministry of officials.

"Zhao Qing, I remember that there is a doctor in the Ministry of War named Xiang Wenyao. He was included in the promotion list submitted by the Ministry of Officials some time ago. Can he be transferred now?"

Zhao Xin didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly ask him, but he was able to take care of Wang Zhi's affairs temporarily. Naturally, he had two brushes. He remembered the resumes of most officials inside and outside Beijing.

So when Zhu Qiyu mentioned it, he immediately remembered it, and said.

"Returning to the emperor, the previous calculation, Xiang Wenyao was the top middle school, and the Ministry of officials planned to make an exception to promote him as the right deputy capital envoy to patrol Shanxi, but he has not yet left."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

"Since this is the case, I will order Xiang Wenyao to be transferred to the right servant of the Ministry of Officials to assist in the affairs of the Ministry. The Ministry of Officials is busy, and the cabinet will be lighter. The heavenly official is recovering from a serious illness. He will take charge of the cabinet first, so as not to be too tired."

There was a sudden silence below.

Only a tall, 30-year-old official with a crown-like face in the Ministry of War showed joy, stepped out of the line, and said.

"Minister Xiang Wenyao, thank Your Majesty for your grace."

You know, Xiang Wenyao was originally a military doctor of the fifth rank, and the last performance appraisal was in the upper middle school. According to the system, he can be promoted to the fourth rank by leapfrogging.

At the same time, according to the imperial court practice, a Beijing official can be promoted to a higher rank in place, that is to say, he should have been an inspector or prefect from the third rank.

However, in a civil engineering battle, a large number of people died in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he was exceptionally awarded the right deputy imperial envoy of the third rank to inspect Shanxi.

For Xiang Wenyao, this is already a great joy.

But who would have expected that before the departure, there would be another pie in the sky!

A right deputy capital imperial envoy who was released to the outside world, and the minister of the official department, the head of the six ministries, are both of the third rank, but how can the status be the same?

According to the court practice, when a local third rank is transferred to the capital, a flat transfer is regarded as a promotion, and a relatively low-ranking third rank such as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment is transferred to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, and the flat transfer is also regarded as a promotion.

Based on this calculation, he could only advance to three levels at most, but now he jumped six levels all at once, isn't it pie in the sky?

Logically speaking, although the emperor has the right to leapfrog promotion in this way, there will always be censors and the like, who will stand up and say a few words.

But this time it was different, it was quiet and no one spoke.

It's not that Mr. Xiang received everyone's expectations, but that all the officials were stunned by the emperor's other words.

If they heard correctly, what the emperor meant was that another servant should be promoted, and two servants would be in charge of the affairs of the ministry.

As for the original Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mr. Wang Zhi, he is going to go to the cabinet...

Anyone who is familiar with the current official system of the imperial court will immediately realize how explosive such a simple transfer order is.

Simply put, this transfer order implies two messages.

First, Wang Zhi, as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was deprived of the authority to act as an agent of the Ministry. .

Second, from the present point of view, the emperor did not promote a new Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so Wang Zhi was still the official of the Ministry of Officials, not a title, but because he was "recovering from a serious illness", he was temporarily appointed as a cabinet member.

In other words, this move opened the first time that the chief official of the six ministries of the foreign court also served as a cabinet minister!
　Xiang Wenyao's experience was not made up by me.

　　Ming history records that he was as beautiful as jade, good-natured and quick-witted, and when he was just over 20 years old, he won the Jinshi.

　　After the civil engineering change, there was a large shortage of people in the imperial court. He was directly promoted from the fifth-rank Lang to the third-rank servant. He was only about 36 years old at the time, and he was a veritable winner in life.

　　It's a pity that because of the good relationship with Yu Shaobao, he was exiled later...
