Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 146: Passing on the official!A big earthquake in the officialdom
Food is an extremely important strategic material at any time. If you have enough food, don't panic. From the dynasty to the individual, if there are any problems with food supply and demand, don't think about doing anything.

In the Ming Dynasty, which was in the Little Ice Age, the overall grain production was on the decline. Zhu Youxiao must pay attention to this matter, otherwise no matter how many plans he made, they would be nothing more than castles in the air. Once there is a regional food shortage, someone may deliberately inflate it. Food prices will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions.

Reset the Shaofu and first control the royal family properties in the Northern Zhili Territory. There is a bottom line that no one can touch, that is, the more than 2000 million acres of Huangzhuang farmland in the Northern Zhili Territory. These are scattered among the prefectures and counties. The paddy fields, irrigated land, dry land, etc. will carry the basis for many plans and deployments.

Although Zhu Youxiao was very angry when he learned the truth about the investigation of Huangzhuanghuangdian and the pasture, his anger also made Zhu Youxiao more determined.

Forbidden City.

Qianqing Palace.

"The Qing family has done a good job in rectifying the Ling Guards."

Zhu Youxiao straightened his back, raised his powerful bow, and aimed an arrow at the grass target in front of him. He said to Sun Chuanting who was standing next to him: "The tomb guards stationed in Tianshou Mountain are not only responsible for guarding the tombs, but they are also responsible for guarding the tombs. He also shoulders the important responsibility of protecting the capital."

When he said this, Zhu Youxiao loosened his bow string and saw a black shadow coming towards him. Sun Chuanting followed the sound and saw an armor-piercing arrow on a straw target planted dozens of steps away. The grass whiskers flew across for a moment.

"The quality of the crossbow and arrow factories under the Bureau of War has indeed improved a lot compared to the past."

Zhu Youxiao showed a satisfied smile and looked at the big bow he was holding, "Sun Qing, now that the two cases of Hongwan's transfer to the palace have been finalized, have you thought about what you will do next?"

When talking about this, Zhu Youxiao looked at the silent Sun Chuanting. Liu Ruoyu, who was waiting quietly at the side, hurriedly stepped forward with his head lowered, holding the big bow with both hands. The eunuch beside him lowered his head and handed over the sweat towel. Yu Xiao stretched out his hand to take it, wiping the sweat from his forehead, his arms were slightly sore.

"I haven't thought about this."

Sun Chuanting bowed in salute and said: "Before, in the Tianshou Mountain area, I was busy recruiting brave men and resettling the military households who were eliminated from the guard, and I had no time to think about other things."

Zhu Youxiao smiled.

What is a trustworthy pillar?

This is what is happening before you!

Zhu Youxiao was well aware of Sun Chuanting's ability. In the Qing Li Department under the direct control of the Ministry of Justice, and in Tianshou Mountain, Sun Chuanting's various performances were reported to the emperor. In the past, Zhu Youxiao was a little worried and rashly changed the trajectory of Sun Chuanting and the others. Whether it would be counterproductive, but Sun Chuanting's performance made Zhu Youxiao give up this idea.

Perhaps Sun Chuanting had only been in the official career for a short period of time, and his views on certain things were more hateful and hateful, but in terms of ability, there was no problem.

"Then if I promote the Qing family to be the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, will the Qing family dare to take on this important position?" Zhu Youxiao suppressed his smile and looked at Sun Chuanting seriously.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this important position."

Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and bowed again: "Thanks to your majesty's trust, I would like to promote you to the post of magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture. However, officials in the country are promoted according to etiquette and patriarchal laws. Before I went to Beijing with the imperial edict, I was appointed magistrate of Shangqiu County. , after entering Beijing under the imperial edict, he was promoted by His Majesty to be the head of the Punishment Department. This is..."

"The Qing family doesn't want to share my worries?"

Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his back and interrupted what Sun Chuanting was saying.

"I have absolutely no such thoughts."

Sun Chuanting said hurriedly: "Based on my resume and qualifications, I have not made any meritorious service to the country. I would be frightened to hold a position like the head of the Ministry of Punishment, let alone such an important position as the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture. I..."

"Are the Qing family afraid of being criticized?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly.

"That's just one aspect."

Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said what he was thinking, "What I am most worried about is that even if I serve as the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture according to the imperial decree, I am afraid that other officials in Shuntian Prefecture will be dissatisfied or despise me. Shuntian Prefecture is an important place in the capital." The earth cannot tolerate any mistakes, if I cause chaos in Shuntian Mansion, I will be the sinner of the country!"

Know the general picture and understand right and wrong.

Zhu Youxiao secretly thought in his heart that what Sun Chuanting said was correct. Promotions to officials by imperial edict do not go through the official selection process, such as official selection, court recommendation, and ministry meetings. They are appointed directly by the emperor. This is Personnel and organizational transfers that are inconsistent with the mainstream of Ming Dynasty.

The civil servants of the outer dynasties all despise this form. Once they accept this kind of organizational transfer, they will be labeled as lucky ministers, which is called the official.

It is a way to divide personnel power.

This system has pros and cons.

People such as Chen Qiyu, Wang Zaijin, and Yuan Keli were promoted by Zhu Youxiao according to the imperial edict. If we really want to look into it carefully, their political careers will be stained.Normally, they could refuse to obey the order. After all, there is nothing wrong with protecting their reputation. However, they all have the Ming Dynasty in their hearts and do not want to see the country in trouble due to the Liao Dynasty.

The most important point is that Zhu Youxiao's deployment to Liao gave them all hope. If it can be effectively implemented, the imperial court will be able to suppress the Jianlu rebellion in Liao in the shortest possible time.

"I know the concerns and worries of the Qing family in my heart."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile, "But the Qing family doesn't need to pay attention to this. Until tomorrow, the Qing family will go to Shuntian Mansion to take up the post of magistrate. At that time... the Qing family, as the magistrate of Shuntian Mansion, will not attract any attention. Wait for you. My family is familiar with everything in Shuntian Mansion, and I have some important matters for the Qing family to handle."

When talking about this, several young eunuchs bowed their heads and came forward with a decree that had been drafted and many memorials and documents.

"These memorials and documents are secret memorials submitted by the Governor-General of Jiliao in Jin Dynasty, involving various matters such as the guard posts under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and preparations, and the occupation of the fields of the guard posts."

Zhu Youxiao pointed to the memorials and documents and looked at Sun Chuanting, who had a complicated expression. "There are price trends of grain, cloth, and salt under the rule of Shuntian Mansion in recent months. During the inspection of Huangzhuang Huangdian, the Qing family has And take it back to have a good look at it. After reading it, you will know why I promoted the Qing family to the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture."

Ok?
Sun Chuanting became wary, and what the emperor said told him that things were definitely not simple. Thinking of Sun Chuanting here, he thought about it again and again, and then bowed and saluted: "I accept the decree!"

Sun Chuanting assumed the post of magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture. Even if there were any subsequent changes in Liao District, he did not need to worry too much about the Gyeonggi area, in case something bad happened, which would affect the overall deployment.

Looking at Sun Chuanting who bowed and accepted the decree, Zhu Youxiao showed an approving smile.

It's already February and time is really running out.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at the Qianqing Gate in the distance, with a half-smile on his lips. That court should also undergo a change. I want you to face the temptation. I can't refuse it from the bottom of my heart!

At that time, he was in the Yamen Office of the Ministry of War.

"The emperor is destined to be supported by heaven, and he said: Cui Jingrong, Minister of the Ministry of War, has worked hard during his tenure and won my heart. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has been vacant for a long time. After several meetings chaired by the cabinet, I was recommended, but none of the people recommended were satisfactory to me. I have thought about it again and again. , I was specially promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and was given a python robe. How impressive!"

Han Zanzhou, holding the imperial edict in his hand, read out the imperial edict in front of all the officials of the Ministry of War. What he read out not only shocked the person involved, Cui Jingrong, but also frightened many people.

In the previous rounds of nominations presided over by the cabinet, no one recommended Cui Jingrong for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. After all, they all had their own agendas. The position of Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel is different from other officials. Who can sit on this position? With a position, you get not only power and status, but also many hidden things.

"..."

Cui Jingrong stood there blankly.

"Otsuka Zai, don't you want to take office according to the order?"

Han Zanzhou held the imperial edict and looked at Cui Jingrong with a half-smile, "Your Majesty specially promoted Otsuka to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is a sign of his trust and reliance on you."

Cui Jingrong's heartbeat quickened. He could feel a lot of strange looks behind him, and even vaguely heard whispers.

On the one hand, it is specially promoted based on the imperial edict, which is not in line with the etiquette of the country. But on the other hand, the temptation of the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is really too great. Of course, the Minister of the Ministry of War is also very important, but it depends on what it is compared with. !
"Why should Otsuka Zai worry about anything else?"

Seeing Cui Jingrong's delay in expressing his position, Han Zanzhou stepped forward and whispered: "The position of the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be taken over by Guan Yingzhen. As for the position of the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Zou Yuanbiao will be succeeded. At present... the inner court has issued a new policy. I’m afraid the edict has already been read out.”

"!!!"

Cui Jingrong's expression changed when he heard this. He never thought that such a thing would happen.

Ok.

In order to allow this temple to stand still in the next few months, in order to break the political advantage that the Donglin Party gained when Yuji came to the throne, a large number of Donglin Party members were transferred to the capital. Zhu Youxiao waited until now. Through the so-called system of passing on officials, a group of officials are promoted in a targeted manner.

Donglin Party, Qi Chu Zhe Party and other factions are involved. In addition, many civil servants of Yousi are involved. Zhu Youxiao wants to use the temptation of Chi Guoguo to completely adjust the power structure of Yousi in Wai Dynasty, so that you can be among the various factions. There is me, and there is you in me, in order to achieve a certain delicate balance.

Even if some of these promoted officials choose to refuse to follow the order, as long as the majority choose to follow the order, then this political adjustment for balance will undoubtedly be successful!
Nan Juyi was promoted to the left minister of the household department, Li Zongyan was promoted to the right minister of the household department, Huang Liji was promoted to the right minister of the rites department, Chen Dadao was promoted to the left minister of the criminal department, Wang Ji was promoted to the secretary of Cangchang, Qi Shijiao was promoted to the censor of the right capital, and Sun Juxiang was promoted to the censor of the left deputy capital. , Li Banghua promoted the censor of the capital of Zuo, Yuan Yingtai promoted the censor of the capital of the right, Qian Qianyi promoted the political envoy, Qian Menggao promoted the official department Zuo to Shizhong, Wu Liangsi promoted the military department to Shizhong, and Wen Tiren promoted Shao Zhan. Later, Zhou Yanru promoted Taipu Siqing and Cui Chengxiu...

With this batch of targeted political adjustments, Zhu Youxiao is more confident that most people will be willing to take office. After all, the temptation of power is too great. With this batch of official adjustments, Sun Chuanting took office as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. , is simply too insignificant.

Since the rules of the game cannot be used by me, I will give them up temporarily and wait until the battle in Liaodong is over! !

Blindly talking about deontological rules to the civil servants will only tie your hands and feet. Since the personnel power is not fully in your hands, then look for the ancestral system. system, the emperor is not allowed to discuss the ancestral system?There is no such truth in the world!
If the situation is really urgent, Zhu Youxiao feels that it is necessary to take out the imperial edict that has been ignored by politics, dust it off, and discuss the Tao in detail.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to do anything so extreme. After all, he still had important things to do, Liaodong!Liaodong!This is a battle that must be won! ! !
