.One...
It’s just summer, and it’s the best time of year in the capital.
A drizzle passed by, and a few dew dripped from the eaves. The wind carried the refreshing unique to this season. The willow catkins and poplar flowers that fluttered in the wind were no longer visible, but they were blooming towards the sun. The whole capital seemed to usher in a new life.
There have been many changes in Beijing in the past few days. Yan Ge Lao returned home in disgrace; Yan Shifan was assigned to Leizhou; a plaque "Liu Biju., which was jointly completed by Yan Song and Jiajing, was also quietly hung in front of a pickle restaurant in front of a pickle restaurant, but no one congratulated him, and he was also afraid of the young boss named Zhang Degui.
But all this is not as attractive as the changes in the cabinet. On the second day after Yan Song left Beijing, Jiajing appointed Xu Jie as the cabinet assistant, the young master and the young master, "In fact, Xu Jie has been acting as the assistant for half a year, but his reputation is not upright, so he has always followed the rules and maintained the situation in a low-key manner, so many people think that he is no different from Yan Song. He relies on praising Xuan Xiu, writing Qing Ci, and flattering him. If he is the assistant, he is just a kiln-burning person who sells tiles, and they are all the goods.
But Xu Jie's actions surprised them
On the first day of his official position, he made it easier for him to have a silence in the silence of the Xiyuan. The silence of the original emperor built for Yan Song. Now he gave it to Xu Jie, who was given a three-word sentence on the snow-white wall. He said: "Give the lord with his power and blessings, return the government affairs to the silence, and return the public to the public with the use of punishment and rewards! Anyone who walks into this silence can see these three lines of large characters.
There is no doubt that this was the first declaration after Xu Jie took over the aid seat, which showed the emperor and all officials his political attitude and policy of governing the country.
Then in his first auxiliary to the six ministries and nine ministers, he clearly stated his principle of exercising power from ministers: "If you work together, you will be public, and if you are public, you will be a good foundation; if you are special, you will be private, and if you are private, you will be a disadvantage." He stated that he would not act arbitrarily and would have to accept everyone's opinions humbly.
Immediately afterwards, he advised the emperor in his previous aid to Jiajing memorial, saying: "Those who adopt public opinion are convenient and do it in vain. I hope that the emperor will open up the road, pay attention to, encourage and protect public opinion, and those who have memorials should be inquired in detail. If the matter is big and the matter is real, then do it; if the matter is not real. "If the matter is big, the responsibility is low and tolerant" means that even if it is wrong, they should be tolerant to encourage people all over the world to make bold suggestions.
Xu Jie's successive actions as soon as he took office were definitely planned, especially the timing was very clever. When the emperor had just appointed him as his assistant, the emperor would not be able to refute his face unless his advice was very rude, because it was equivalent to the emperor slapping himself in the face and admitting that he was inappropriate in employing people. But Xu Jie, after all, was determined to use softness to defeat the Internet. It was impossible to be arrogant. He did not use the short-term "invincible state" to fight for more rights, but instead "returning his power to the master with his humility, he put forward this small request.
Although Jiajing was still scared of the censors who had been in the grand ceremony, he thought about it after all, it happened twenty years ago. In recent years, except for the occasional young men, most of the officials were quite honest and did not have the face to refute the supporter. He approved his request and made it clear to all officials.
In the final analysis, he had habitually despised his ministers, believing that they did not dare to talk nonsense in front of him.
But whether you dare or not has to see whether you dare or not.
The three new officials who took office became more popular, let alone the effect, Li Xuan won a lot of prizes, and all the officials in the capital praised each other, especially those censors who were even more excited and swear to wash away the stigma of the minions and teeth when they were in power and restore the glory of the censors.
But what disappointed Xu Jie was that the quality of the current censor is more than half a minute lower than twenty years ago, which is understandable. After all, Yan Song has controlled the government for so many years and has replaced most of the guys who complained specifically to his own people. The remaining part is his elder Xu. There is no right or wrong in both sides' eyes, only the other party. Everything is about defeating the other party. Anyone who supports the other party must oppose, and whatever the other party opposes must support.
But this kind of malpractice cannot be solved overnight. Xu Jie can only slow down and let them bite their dogs and clean up the mess when the time is right. But some things cannot be slowed down and they must start immediately. He must seize this golden opportunity, eliminate corruption and mediocrity, and clean up the malpractice. He has brought a new atmosphere for the Ming Dynasty.
Overall, Xu Jie announced that he would arrest three things. First, rectify the administration of officials, which is a must for any person to come to power. It seems that the country's problems are all in the administration of officials, and if the administration is clean, the world will be peaceful; second, in response to the exposed problems of the generals of the border towns who were obsessed withholding military pay, the provincial governors ordered the provincial governors to set an example, and those who violated the punishment of the ministers and the department participated in the report. Third, the salt administration was cleaned up. Because the court has issued 50% of the tax on the salt administration in recent years, the two were "hard to be miserable. Xu Jie hinted that the salt inspector Xu Xue asked Yan Song to revoke the tax amount increased during his tenure and restore the original level.
Xu Jie gathered three tricks after three fires. The cheers he received were sparse, because whether it was the administration or the deduction of military pay, it was a hundred years of damage. If you, Xu Huating, could solve it, it would be true.
Xu Wei was very dissatisfied with Xu Jie and criticized him for avoiding the important things and focusing on doing temples without chanting scriptures!
"What" is the argument for the public to pay for punishment? It sounds better than singing!" Xu Wei waved his hands and turned his face in front of the same year as Qionglin Club. His white face turned red and spit out starry skywards: "It's ridiculous that I still support his "three rebirths," like the people in the court and the country, and I'm so sincerely supporting him and clamoring! Why is it so hypocritical when I get to the main business?"
Sun Ying smiled and said, "Then do you think Mr. Xu should do the poison?"
"If it is true to the public opinion, the most urgent task is to rehabilitate Yang Jisheng and others; to persuade the emperor to stop cultivating Xuan immediately, restore the court meeting, and guide the government on the right track; to investigate and punish corrupt officials to clear the court's principles with great fanfare; to curb the annexation of land by powerful people, reduce the burden on the people, and increase the income of the state regular! But did Xu Jie do all this?" Xu Wei said angrily: "He did not do anything."
"I have to say something fair to you Zhu Dashou, who was on the side of the side, smiled and said, "Your Master Xu may not want to do these things, but he really can't do them."
"Then," Xu Wei stared and said, "The salt tax should not be reduced or exempted!" He said, "The benefits of the world lie in salt, and half of the salt profit lies in the Lianghuai! The country's profit per year on salt is 100 yuan, and only two cents can enter the treasury, and eight cents are poured into the pockets of those big salt merchants and corrupt officials. Now the country has finally divided 40%, and the big head is still with the salt merchants! Now Xu Jie is returning to the original state. Is he the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty or the comprador of the salt merchant?"
"This is a reward for your favor." Sun Ying also advised him: "There is no way, without Shanxi Gang supporting him. He can't fight against the strict party and cannot rule smoothly. So it is necessary to make some compromises."
"You" Xu Wei's eyes swept over them and said depressedly: "Everyone has changed. Where did the passionate young men with full of ambitions go? Why are there only old and young bureaucrats left?"
"Brother Wen, it's not good to say this... Sun Ying sneered: "If you think everyone is not good, it's just yours. It's often not everyone's problem, but you have a problem.
Xu Wei snorted and said to Mo Si Si Si who was sitting in the corner: "Don't keep silent, but come and judge. Who is right and who is wrong?"
Hearing the words silently, he smiled and said, "You all have their own reasons, but now Mr. Xu is still short of his time to take office. We can't draw conclusions too early, so we can't say which one of you is right and who is wrong."
"Look at your miserable Xu Wei muttered, but he finally stopped doing it.
"To be honest, Tao Dalin said: "I also feel that Mr. Xu has done a lot of things and has made a lot of things, but there are not many things in practice.
"He has some concerns now." Silently said, "He is the only cabinet. Although no one is fighting with him, the one-sided person is also very harmful. No matter what he does, it will be said to be arbitrary and arbitrary, which is contrary to his "three returns, so you must wait until the new Grand Secretary enters the cabinet to do some pragmatic things." He said, "It is very wise to focus on building momentum now. As long as the momentum is built, will the cabinet be led by him at that time?"
"What do you mean" Tao Dalin said: "The new university car is about to be released?"
"Must." said silently. One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by
The new prime minister's series of actions, in the eyes of Shen Mo and others who do not care about him, are just topics of conversation. If you are used to it, you praise it and scold it a few words. It doesn't matter.
But the members of the Yan Party who lost their leadership will cause extreme anxiety, which will make He Bin, Wan Cai, Hu Zhi and others panic all day long, fearing that one day of disaster will come. Brothers and others gathered together to take a look, haha, they all became daylily in September, thin and haggard.
"We can't continue like this anymore." He Bin said: "We have to think of ways to improve our situation. How can we sit and wait for death?" The other people thought the same, and the methods we thought of were the same. We can all defect to Sister Yuan. Although we are on par, today is not as good as before. We are the rising sun. We are the surging moon. So don't put on airs. Hurry up and clamp up our tails to be our son for Zhuangzi.
Sister Yuan was also worried. It was inevitable that Yan Song would enter the cabinet by himself. Although he had been a grand grandfather for a lifetime, he realized that it was a glorious moment when he was about to realize that he would be the prime minister. But if he wanted to be worthy of his name, he had to have the strength to be the foundation. Mr. Xu had even defeated the Yan family's father and son. Isn't it a piece of cake to deal with him?
He was confident that he was talented and wanted to join the cabinet to do something, so he could not be willing to serve as a foil for Xu Jie. So he urgently needed to expand his strength. The senior officials of the Xuan department came over. It was like dry firewood and grass encountered a fire ball. Ximen Qing met Pan Jinlian, and it was like meeting him too late. He was mixing oil in honey!
Sister Yuan said, "Brothers come for me. We are our own family. Then we will enjoy blessings and misfortunes in the future. If we violate this oath, we will be worse than pigs and dogs."
Everyone was moved and said, "The old master of the cabinet is kind and righteous, we can only work hard and be exhausted." Then they said, "The most urgent thing is that you should enter the cabinet quickly. Now there are few people in the cabinet. You can go in as the deputy prime minister, and you can just work with Xu Huating." Yuan Fu said humbly: "That mountain knife annoys all brothers, hurry up and "follow the order." Everyone dispersed and found their respective confidants. Instructed them to write a letter, asking the court to recommend the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
But they were still a step slower. While they were still conceiving the memorial, Xu Jie had already requested Emperor Jiajing to say: "The cabinet is busy and cannot be taken on by one person. The old minister was exhausted and still had trouble. He begged to open the court to recommend it and then bring high-minded talents into the cabinet, so as not to miss the military and national affairs." Since it is inevitable that the newcomer would enter the cabinet, it would be better to propose it and sell it better. It is better to be slandered one step later.
Seeing that he did not take any power, Emperor Jiajing happily agreed and ordered the Grand Secretary to be promoted three days later. The result was no surprise. The Minister of Rites Yuan Jie was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and joined the cabinet to assist in government affairs.
The Minister of Rites he was vacant was held by Yan Ne, and Yan Ne's position was taken over by Li Chunfang. However, Yan Ne did not serve as the Hanlin Bachelor. Because the Hanlin Bachelor was only a fifth rank, so there was no need for court recommendation. Xu Jie directly announced the imperial edict. Shen Mo stepped down as the censor of Zuo Shedu and the Imperial College Priest, and was transferred to the Zhanshifu Shaoshu and the Hanlin Bachelor. Although he was still on the spot in his official position, all the civil and military officials in the court believed that Xu Ge Lao was cultivating his confidants and rewarding his confidants. Because everyone knew that the upper elites of the court all came out of the Hanlin Academy. Being a Hanlin Bachelor means that there would be a group of long-term and like-minded confidants who would help you to rise straight. As long as nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be able to join the cabinet as a prime minister. Therefore, this position has always been served by the Minister of Rites, specifically for the Prime Minister to cultivate prestige.
Now Xu Jie made an exception to grant Shen Mo, which shows how much love he is. It shows how false the rumors that Xu Ge Lao was sloppy and he was circulating in the public.
Xu Jie could only smile helplessly because he was made a little by the emperor. His original intention was to let Zhang Juzheng take on this job, so he said, "The great masters are in great service and still serve as Hanlin Academy. Even though they are in charge of day and night, they cannot achieve both. I beg to separate two officials to make one person with good virtue and talent. They are specialized in Hanlin."
Jiajing said Shan and asked, "Can anyone choose your family?"
Xu Jie said: "Zhang Juzheng, a Jinshi of Dingwei, is knowledgeable and dedicated, and can be the chief sect."
Generally speaking, Jiajing did not refute his face. But this time the emperor thought about it, but said: "Last time, he ordered Zhang Juzheng to write to "Pu Yi Debate" with Sister Yuan, and said: "It must be because it has not been completed yet, how can I bear to disturb him?"
Seeing Xu Jie's face was stunned, Jiajing seemed a little embarrassed and comforted him, "Let's do this, when he finishes the "Dazhi", you can arrange a suitable place for him to fulfill his sincerity and filial piety." He paused and said, "As for Hanlin Academy, I won't give it to anyone else. Let your other student Shen Mo be the one."
"Thank you, Lord Long'er, Xu Jie agreed happily, and then he realized that it turned out that it was like Shen Mo raised him like a stepmother here, and Zhang Ju was raised by a stepmother here in Jiajing, and he was also raised by a stepmother in the future.
In the final analysis, although Zhang Juzheng used his urgent wisdom to bypass the trap of "Puyi dispute," he would inevitably leave the emperor with the impression of Pili Yangqiu. How could he like Jiajing more than he always had a "childish heart and silence towards the emperor.
In fact, I have to thank Yan Gao for this. If he hadn't pointed out the idea of ​​the emperor's crown prince, he would have been waiting at home for a new emperor.
As for the Imperial College Priest, the Hanlin Secretariat Xu Wei was appointed as the second person to be in the red robe of Qionglin Society.
But he was very cold to his colleagues' congratulations. Fortunately, everyone knew his virtues, and no one could not get along with him.
The brothers of Qionglin Club forced him to the silent house and said to congratulate them. Seeing the sumptuous banquet, Xu Wei did not disappoint him. But the disappointment came after the banquet broke up.
But it was not caused by Xu Wei, but Zhu Shisan came to the silent inner study room and brought him a bad news. The emperor sent a sage edict and ordered the Jinyiwei to report to the East Factory from now on, and there was no need to submit it to the emperor if there was any matter.
Looking at Zhu Shisan with an anxious expression, he sighed silently: "When Li Fang returned to Beijing, I felt something was wrong. Now it has finally come true. It seems that the emperor's attitude towards the internal supervisor has indeed changed."
"Sir, you may help us." Zhu Shisan has never been so sane. His fists were clenched and loosened, and his breathing was also very loud. He said: "If Dongchang rides on our necks again, no one of the Thirteen Taibao and his confidant brothers below can escape this disaster."
"I know, I know." Chen Si nodded slowly and said, "Let me think about it, think about it. At this moment, you have to calm down first. Brother, if you lose your own stance, no one can save you.
