Jinyi champion

Ministry of officials.

Yang Tinghe's visit this day was originally to inquire about the Jingcha and the big plan, but he happened to meet He Mengchun, the new right servant of the Ministry of Officials who had just arrived in the capital.

In the early years of Jiajing, He Mengchun could be regarded as the core figure in Yang Tinghe's faction who opposed Zhang Cong's Dali Discussion. In the middle of the year, he was transferred from the right servant of the Nanjing Ministry of War to the right servant of the Beijing Division, and it took less than half a month to come to the capital after a bumpy journey.

He Mengchun and Yang Tinghe were old acquaintances, and He Mengchun was very respectful to Yang Tinghe, and explained in detail the matter at hand.

Then He Mengchun left, and Qiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came to meet Yang Tinghe.

"……how do you feel?"

Qiao Yu asked with a smile.

In the [-]th year of Zhengde, Qiao Yu transferred the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the capital, and Wang Shouren took his place. This time, He Mengchun was transferred to the capital, and it was still Qiao Yu who took the lead.

In Daming, this kind of transfer within the faction is very common. Usually, the old boss is promoted, and the position is reserved for the most loyal subordinates, or the boss is transferred to the capital, and the subordinates will follow.

What Qiao Yu meant was to ask Yang Tinghe, what do you think of He Mengchun?

Is it useful?

Yang Tinghe didn't comment positively on He Mengchun, but only asked: "Now, can you still support the errands of the official department?"

"At the beginning, I felt that there were a lot of things, and I couldn't start. After a long time, it will be no problem... I don't know when the position of the left servant will be settled? Sometimes... the department still needs someone to support it. "

Qiao Yu was a little embarrassed.

In the first year of Jiajing, another major event happened in the Ministry of Officials, that is, Hu Shining, the famous iron head who participated in the impeachment of King Ning, was transferred from Yunnan to the capital to be the left servant of the Ministry of Officials. Reported illness and resigned.

This incident caused quite a stir in the ruling and opposition parties.

Hu Shining belongs to a neutral faction. He neither actively moves closer to the traditional civil service forces, nor does he intend to join the emerging forces represented by the new emperor. He is a thorn in the side.

This time, Hu Shining's illness was very urgent, and it was said that it was very difficult to even get out of bed. As for whether it was a real illness, a fake illness, or a minor illness pretending to be a serious illness, there was no way of knowing.

In history, it was not until the fourth year of Jiajing that Hu Shining was reactivated and continued to be his servant left. At that time, Yang Tinghe had stepped down, and the new emperor had completely controlled the situation in the court.

Yang Tinghe has no idea about wooing Hu Shining.

This person is praised by others for his honesty, because he impeached King Ning and went to Liaodong for a few years of hard life. He is regarded as a "net celebrity official" in the court. Taking down the official position has too bad influence, and now it is a good thing for Yang Tinghe to retreat in spite of the difficulties.

"Your Majesty intends to intervene in this matter. The current situation is that His Majesty may arrange a servant for each of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise... um..."

Yang Tinghe didn't need to hide some things from Qiao Yu, but he didn't need to say them in too much detail.

Qiao Yu nodded to show understanding.

Nowadays, in the court, there is no one who strictly belongs to the new emperor. They are all civil servants who are in power. However, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry are relatively close to the new emperor. Huang, both became ministers because of Zhu Si's nomination, but Sun Jiao and Zhao Huang mostly held a neutral attitude in court affairs.

The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites are the private lands of Yang Tinghe's faction, and the situation of the Ministry of Rites is not clear.

Although Mao Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, has always been a supporter of Yang Tinghe's discussion of great rites, but because he did not come to power after the new emperor ascended the throne, he is an old seniority in the court, and the Ministry of Rites is a place that pays attention to etiquette and rules. Mao Cheng has been in harmony with Yang Tinghe for the past six months , not everything is supported without reservation.

Qiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Peng Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lin Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who just arrived in the capital, are Yang Tinghe's most staunch supporters. The three of them know very well that it was Yang Tinghe who helped them to their current positions, so naturally they need to reciprocate .

But the civil servants have full control of one part, and the new emperor cannot intervene, which will cause suspicion between the monarch and his ministers.

So the king and his ministers
The tacit understanding is that Zhu Si intends to arrange a servant for each of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment under Yang Tinghe's control... As for Yang Tinghe's "opposite", it is not so particular, because now except for the two ministers in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, the rest Everyone is inclined towards Yang Tinghe, and there is no need for him to make special arrangements.

’, then this time in Beijing, is there anything special that needs to be explained?

Qiao Yu asked directly. .
Do you want to make some officials "bad" in the evaluation of the Beijing inspection, and then make them gradually fade out of the court?

Yang Tinghe put down a case file in his hand, and said solemnly: "Everything is handled fairly, so as not to be gossiped by others. Even people who are cultivated by His Majesty cannot be wrongly annotated because they have done something beyond their duty."

Yang Tinghe tried his best to portray himself as an upright minister.

Although Qiao Yu, you are right to ask, but can't you weigh it yourself?

Do you have to ask me to give an opportunity face to face?Even if you're not afraid that walls have ears, you can't let me, Mr. Yang, be criticized by the courtiers, right?

"Yes Yes."

Qiao Yu knew that he had talked too much, so he agreed with a smile, not to talk about it anymore, but he already had an idea in his heart.

……

……

Tang Yin has been in the court for less than three years, and he hasn't even passed the quiz. This year, Jingcha has nothing to do with him.

Recently, Tang Yin is very leisurely, staying in the capital for a long time, not going back to Xishan, occasionally being called to attend the court meeting, but there is no special insight in the court, even so... Tang Yin feels that his life has reached the peak, No more pursuit.

Once having dinner with Zhu Hao, he unconsciously said that he wanted to retire and return home.

After being taught a lesson by Zhu Hao, Tang Yin smiled and didn't say anything, probably he was not used to the political ecology of intrigue between the court and China, and preferred to live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

This was also where Zhu Hao was worried.

I have always wanted to change Tang Yin, but in the end I found that... Tang Yin is more suitable to be a prodigal son, and he doesn't know how to cherish it when he is given an errand.

He complained of suffering and tiredness every day, as if he was being mean by someone.

Huang Zan was the one who was most affected by Zhu Hao's Beijing inspection and grand plan this time.

Huang Zan has been in the imperial court for a long time, and he is very clear that he is now being targeted by Yang Tinghe, so Su Xigui has been running around the capital recently, not because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor and give gifts everywhere, but to inquire about Huang Zan's official career Case.

Money can turn ghosts around. Su Xigui, relying on his ability to make money, has already managed Yang Tinghe's faction up and down. Having received a generous gift from Su Xigui, Su Xigui is very confident and feels that as long as Yang Tinghe doesn't persecute him so tightly, the assessment by the Ministry of Officials should not have any impact on Huang Zan's official career.

Early July.

Su Xigui saw Zhu Hao again in the name of sending the opera troupe to the new emperor, and it had been a month since he last saw Zhu Hao.

This time, Su Xigui specially prepared a gift for Zhu Hao. It wasn't something about sex and wealth, but a list. It was Huang Zan who had been an official for many years and recruited people from all over the place. It is very close, but there are also many things that are secretly contacted.

"If there are people in the little master's house, you can transfer them to the capital, or arrange them in suitable positions. In short, you will not disappoint the grace of God."

Su Xigui gave Zhu Hao the list, which was equivalent to revealing Huang Zan's hole cards to Zhu Hao.

If Zhu Hao follows the plan and finds out what to do, and cleans up Huang Zan's forces one by one, it will be enough.Huang Zan is willing to show it, or if he really feels the crisis, he insists on expressing his loyalty to the new emperor. It is not only to recommend someone who can be used by the new emperor, but also to show himself clearly to the new emperor...

"Um."

After Zhu Hao finished reading, he took the things away.

Su Xigui was a little cautious, and said: "Young master, this list is very important, if you lose it..."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "You don't believe me and show me?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, I'm afraid of being..."

Zhu Hao said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, and there are not many available people around you.
If Huang Gong can transfer people who are familiar with him to His Majesty's use, it will also be a supplement to the court.But who can use it and who can't use it can only be decided after a detailed investigation... It doesn't say what these people are doing, and it's useless for others to take it, and I won't let others see it. "

"Yes."

Su Xigui sat down again and poured tea for Zhu Hao.

Su Xigui said: "If it were someone else, I would always send some beauties, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. After all, sending money directly is too shabby, and most people would not accept it. It would be much better with a layer of packaging. But when it comes to small Here, you don’t lack anything, and I don’t know what to give you.”

Zhu Hao glanced at Su Xigui, and asked, "Why... are you in trouble again?"

"Hey! Isn't it a matter of Yanyin? The Ministry of Households has tightened the release of salt this year. I heard that Shanxi merchants took a lot of Yanyin. Many of them went bankrupt to do this. Normally, at this time, I don't have any There is a million-dollar salt quotation, and there is also a few hundred thousand... After this year, it has not even reached [-] yuan."

Su Xigui kept complaining.

Zhu Hao asked curiously, "Why is there such a big difference?"

"Who knows what's going on, all the salt farms have a bumper harvest, and there aren't that many Xungui occupying their nests now, but I can't bear the others to push their heads forward... Alas, this salt merchant is doing it in name only. It’s even worse to let go, actually I also want to know, didn’t you say you want to change the method of silver folding and color?

Su Xigui is indeed the kind of person who can't get up early without profit.

Knowing that Zhu Hao intends to change the color-folding method in the salt method, even if he does not change it to the Chinese method, at least he will continue to carry out the commercial settlement policy in the northwest.

Su Xigui bought a large amount of land in the northwest in advance, because a lot of it was wasteland and the price was cheap, so he waited for the grain reform to start, and then sold the land to those merchants who went to manage the fields in exchange for huge profits.

But the money was spent, the land was bought, and it was waiting for the appreciation to sell it to make money...but there was no news about the next step.

Part of Su Xigui's family wealth was locked up, and he was waiting for Zhu Hao to release him.
