Chapter 435 Emperor Chongping: I don't want you to think, I want me to think
The next day, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month
Early in the morning, just before the sound of the five o'clock drum, Jia Heng changed into an official gown in a python suit. Under the escort of Jia's servants and soldiers who came to meet him, he rode on a horse and headed for the palace in the chilly spring breeze. .
Daming Palace, under the shade of an old osmanthus tree, stands majestically with carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and bucket arches. The vermilion palace stands majestically. The waning moon shines coldly, and the glazed tiles shine brightly, making it as bright as water.
Because the Shangyuan Festival has just passed, the octagonal palace lanterns under the eaves of the corridor are still hanging on it, shaking with the wind, looking from a distance, the candlelight is glowing, clusters are like clouds, and they are as bright as clouds.
On the banks of the beams and pillars and on the dange, groups of guards in brocade clothes with big red tufted patterns of flying fish and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists stood in the porch with solemn expressions, guarding their surroundings.
These are the ceremonial guards of the five thousand households and the factory guards of the inner factory that Jia Heng previously adjusted the Jinyi Mansion's duties and excluded.
On the grand square of white marble, all the officials of the Han Dynasty are black and dense, standing in civil and military style, either holding ivory jade wats or locust wood jade wats, wearing black gauze hats, and official robes embroidered with birds and animals.
Hundreds of civil and military officials who gathered in twos and threes to talk were grouped according to rank. Many officials had a bit of fatigue after the festival on their faces, and some were elderly, lack of energy, and were dozing off.
Jia Heng, who was dressed in a python suit with round collar and group pattern, and wearing a mountain-shaped wingless crown on his head, was tall and tall. Standing in the ranks of martial arts, he stood out like a chicken.
Without him, too young.
And Jia Zheng, who was in the crowd, was also looking at the young man who looked like a Zhilan Yushu, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Not enough for a weak crown, a first-rank official residence, a boa suit and a body, with great power in his hands, this is the unicorn of his Jia family!
And Qin Ye, who was talking to Jia Zheng, also looked at his son-in-law from time to time, with a more reserved expression.
Not far away, Baoling Hou Shi Nai, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, Nan'an County Wang Yanye, Beijing Wang Shui Rong, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang, Shi Guangzhu, Ma Shang and other military governors of the five armies are all present.
Hou Shi Nai of Baoling and Shi Ding of Zhongjing approached and exchanged greetings with Jia Heng.
The king of Nan'an County also nodded towards Jia Heng, and the king of Beijing's watery eyes were gentle.
These two princes were originally relatives of Jia's mansion. On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the princess of Nan'an County Prince and her daughter-in-law went to Rongguo Mansion to visit Jia's mother, but they did not deal with Jia Heng's Ningguo Mansion before.
As for the other noble families, their expressions were mostly cold and indifferent.
In addition, there are two young generals in their twenties, one tall and one thin, who are talking to several people.
Seeing Jia Heng looking at the two, thinking they didn't know each other, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding smiled and said, "Zi Yu, those two are Jin Xiaoyu, the second-class son of the prince's mansion of Xining County, and the other is the first-class son of the prince of Dongping County. Mu Sheng was ennobled because of merit, not relying on ancestral shade, the two of them traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to congratulate them, they arrived on the ninth day of the lunar new year, and today the court will come to see the Holy Majesty."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I have heard about the prestige of the two princes."
As the governor of the Jinyi Mansion, he knew everything about Dongping and Xining's eldest sons coming to Beijing.
The two major county kings, Dongping and Xining, both have county palaces in Shenjing City, and they even left people of the same clan to live there.
And the king of Xining County, the former comrade-in-arms of King Zhou, sent his son to the capital to become an official, more like expressing his submission to Emperor Chongping.
The king of Xining County is not very healthy, so he left his son in the north, worried that he would not be able to suppress the situation, and it would be difficult to ensure the stability of the northwest.
As for the king of Dongping County, Shizhen Yunnan, he has always had the impression of "who is in the center to support who", and he seems not to participate in the matter of seizing the heir, and this time he came to Beijing in the name of Chaohe.
Jia Heng kept the appearance and stature of the two in mind, and immediately looked away.
In the original book of the Red Chamber, Jia's mother's [-]th birthday, the kings of the two counties, Xu Shi, sensed that Jia's family was going to be unlucky, so they didn't come to congratulate her. When Qin Keqing went to the funeral, they set up a sacrificial shed for courtesy, and they were almost different from each other.
"Dongping and Xining are the two major military groups of Chen and Han, and they are also the largest force among Chen Han's army leaders." Jia Heng was thinking.
There are many hills in Chen Han's army, and the four kings, eight princes and twelve princes in the founding line are also divided into forces.
The Jingying, which is dominated by the two princes of Rong and Ning, and the five-army governor's mansion, which is composed of the two county kings of Beijing and Nan'an, and the other eight princes.
In addition, in the past few years, with the corruption and degeneration of the founders of the country, the nobles on the side of the Taizong and the Shanghuang dynasties created a situation that echoed with the cabinet.
But at this time, Jin and Mu came forward and greeted Shi Ding and Shi Nai. The two had awe-inspiring momentum and solemn faces. They looked like generals who had been on the battlefield.
Mu Sheng was slightly thinner, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "I guess this is Brother Jia Xian, right? Sure enough, he is a talented person with a handsome appearance. I almost thought he was Duke Daihua."
Jia Heng bowed his hands back and was about to say a few words of humility.
Jin Xiaoyu said with a smile: "What brother Mu Xian said is ridiculous. As far as Brother Yu knows, Brother Jia Xian is not the blood of Duke Daihua, but a side branch."
Although these words are true, but in the ears of others, they feel awkward no matter how they hear them.
Therefore, Liu Fang, the official of the former military governor's mansion, approached and smiled: "Brother Jin has good eyesight, Lord Jia is indeed not a descendant of Duke Daihua."
At this time, there was already a bit of joking and scolding.
Jia Heng took a look at Jin Xiaoyu, no one else, the name is too pickle-smelling, seeing that he is tall and tall, with a face with Chinese characters, and he looks thick and tiger-eyed, but there is a bit of arrogance in his eyebrows and eyes.
Jia Heng cast a cold glance at Liu Fang, but ignored her.
Liu Fang is an ordinary man!
Mu Sheng smoothed things over, smiled and said: "Uncle Shi, my generation of warriors fights in the battlefield and earns their own fame. We only talk about the legacy of our ancestors, but there is no interest in it."
Liu Fang's eyes flickered, but she didn't answer.
At this time, Nan'an County Wang Yanye and Beijing Wang Shui Rong looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Shui Rong said in a low voice: "Shibo, Jia Ziyu is quite capable of training soldiers."
The king of Nan'an County twisted his beard with his hands, his face paused, and said in a low voice: "The ability to train soldiers is different from the two armies competing for the front. Even when the King of Xining County was here, he said that building slaves is not comparable to Hulu."
Seeing Liu Fang stepping forward to provoke, Shui Rong frowned and said: "Jia Ziyu is now in charge of the Beijing camp, and he is also a martial artist. In the future, I will be a minister of the same palace, and will be in charge of military secretaries. I still need to give some face."
King Nan'an twisted his beard with his hand, smiled and said: "Young people are just competitive, and the old man is probably the same when he is young."
clap clap...
At this time, there was only a sound of the whip, and all civil and military officials stopped talking, lined up, and waited respectfully.
Jia Heng also held an ivory jade wat, had cosmetic surgery and color, and entered the court class.
His position is fairly high, as the Deputy Envoy of the Great Han Jingying, he is second only to the five governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and ranks sixth in the military sequence, so he is even ahead of Liu Fang.
Under the leadership of the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, and the ministers, the civil and military officials climbed up the steps and entered the palace. At this moment, Emperor Chongping was sitting on the golden chair, and the sound of water dripping from the jade resounded in the palace, which seemed particularly clear.
"My minister, I have met the Holy Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live."
The voice of civil and military officials shouting long live resounded in the solemn and solemn Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace.
"Zhu Qing is flat."
Then there was the sound of thanksgiving from the mountains and tsunami.
Emperor Chongping's eyes wandered over the crowded civil and military officials below, his eyes fell on Jia Heng's face, he stayed for a moment, and gave Dai Quan a wink.
Dai Quan held up the silk and unfolded the imperial decree, and a shrill voice sounded in the hall: "Follow the heavens to carry the emperor, and the imperial edict said: the major affairs of the country are to be sacrificed and the army, the soldiers, the key points of the military country, and the ruler who controls the military. Drawing. I have added a Military Aircraft Department, and the person who teaches military affairs is the Minister of Military Aircraft, and assists in the planning and planning of affairs against captives..."
As the sacred decree was recited in Dai Quan's high-pitched voice, all the officials in the Daming Palace fell silent.
Apparently, Emperor Chongping only discussed the establishment of the Military Plane Department among several cabinet ministers, and then made arbitrarily determined decisions.
Of course, there are also ministers of military aircraft who are just dispatched, and all ministers have their own duties, which is why the official system has not been completely overthrown.
The old gods of the ministers below are there, with different thoughts.
Although many civil servants were filled with righteous indignation as if they had eaten flies, they could only comfort themselves. Among the ministers of military aircraft, there were two civil servants, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of War. Deputy Du envoy Jia Heng and the others seemed to be stuffed in to make up the numbers.
After finishing the reading, the military pilots also preliminarily decided on a few people. The Ministry of War selected Hang Min, the head of the Cleaning Department, and Zhongjinghou Shi Ding. In addition, there were two other people who surprised Jia Heng. They were Jin Xiaoyu, the son of Xining County, and Dongping County. Mu Sheng, son of the king.
Jia Heng's complexion was gloomy, and he sighed inwardly, the Emperor Chongping had a clever mind.
The two military groups of Dongping and Xining have been away from the center for too long, and they should let their children serve in the center as a restraint.
"This is also the official consolidation of the emperor's power by the emperor. I don't know how much I did for the emperor in the Anshunmen military parade."
Jia Heng heard that his name was on the list of ministers of military aircraft, and his heart was as still as water, without any fluctuations.
And when he heard his name being read, Shi Ding's face flushed and his heart was agitated. Although the military aircraft driver was dispatched lightly, and even mixed with all the juniors, this was only the first step in his recovery.
Yang Guochang's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.
"Once the enemy captives enter the country, the military aircraft will be useless! Even if they don't withdraw at that time, they will be reduced to jokes between the government and the public for a day!" Yang Guochang snorted coldly, disapproving.
For the big man's side affairs, is it possible to set up some privy secretaries and military planes to restore the decline?
Han Huang's face was indifferent. Although he realized that the border affairs were gradually being controlled by the Chu Party, it was really inappropriate, but considering the overall situation, he could only bear with it.
"The next step is to push the cabinet ministers." Han Huang's eyes were deep, and he glanced at Yang Guochang from the corner of his eye.
At this time, the six ministers, ministers, or officials above the fifth rank in Beijing almost held their breath, waiting for the next topic.
Different from the court meeting, the six ministers, the capital censor, the six divisions gave Shizhong, the Tongzheng envoy, Dali Qing and the head censor participated in the government.
According to the revision of the "Dahan Huidian" during the Longzhi period: the Cabinet of Great Scholars and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials were promoted by the court, or by special order.
The selection of cabinet ministers is usually made by Jiuqing in conjunction with Qiandu Yushi and Guozijian to offer wine, and other people are not qualified.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a while, and said: "Since the old man He Ge retired from the cabinet and returned to his hometown, and Li Dashi went to Beizhen, the cabinet is short of staff and manpower. Competent talents, join the cabinet to predict the maintenance, and assist Yin and Yang."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace was moved.
However, before Cheng Xin, the general manager, came out of the class, he clasped his hands and played. From the class of the six subjects, one person jumped out of the class and said, "Minister, Li Ke, Shizhong Hu Yi, impeached Huagaidian University Scholar Yang Guochang, this member is incompetent..."
Like a political signal, this disrupted the process of discussion, and the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, ready to move.
It can be said that when Jia Heng questioned Yang Guochang in the Hall of Xihe, the aftermath did not dissipate, but a bigger undercurrent was brewing, and at this moment, it exploded concentratedly.
Originally, there was a series of tandems, and the officials who had prepared memorials in advance came out one after another to impeach Mr. Yang Ge.
The voices of the courtiers who defended Mr. Yang Ge seemed sparse.
Wu Xun, the king of Nan'an County, King of Beijing, and others watched this scene with cold eyes. The Military Aircraft Department was set up, and Wu Xun gradually took the lead in side affairs.
Emperor Chongping looked indifferently at the civil and military officials below, without saying a word.
Jia Heng stood in the middle of the class and had nothing to do with himself.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the hall, he glanced at Yang Guochang, but saw that he was really calm, as if he was surrounded by flies buzzing, his eyelids drooped, and he turned a deaf ear.
"Old Yang Ge, what happened to the impeachment of the ministers?" After a while, Emperor Chongping didn't read a stack of memorials, but asked in a deep voice.
Holding the ivory jade wat in his hand, Yang Guochang bowed and bowed, and said in a trembling voice: "The old minister is the head of the court. Now the country is in dire straits, and the officials are discussing it. The only crime is the old minister. The old minister begs for the bones."
As he said, he knelt down and raised the jade wat horizontally.
This response directly froze the members of the Zhejiang Party who had gathered their strength to export, like a punch in the air.
Emperor Chongping looked indifferent, noncommittal, turned to look at Han Huang below, and said, "What do Han Qing think?"
Han Huang's face was calm, and he said in a loud voice: "Since all the officials have discussed together, the elders of the pavilion need to distinguish themselves. The holy man is wise and natural, and he can make his own decision."
Emperor Chongping picked up the memorial on the desk, flipped through it, turned to look at Jia Heng, and asked, "I recall that before ten months ago, Jia Qing was the first to impeach Mr. Yang Ge in the Hall of Xihe. Why didn't Jia Qing say a word about impeachment?"
Now that Jia Heng was being named, all the ministers looked sideways.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "The impeachment of the minister in the past has already expressed his heart, but now the impeachment of the princes in the temple, the minister only seconded the proposal, bowed his head and bowed, and listened to the holy order."
Political stance, the most taboo is the first and the second, otherwise, the banner that was finally raised will fall from then on.
Emperor Chongping: "..."
After being silent for a long time, looking at the turbulent courtiers, he said slowly: "The scholar of Huagai Palace is old and dereliction of duty, but I think he is conscientious and conscientious in the ministry's financial affairs.
Han Huang's face was indifferent, and he sighed softly in his heart.
Is that true?
Jia Heng frowned, thinking about Emperor Chongping's intentions.
Emperor Chongping was afraid that he had already thought about changing his appearance, but he didn't know if it was his illusion. The emperor seemed not to want the Zhejiang Party to fulfill his wish.
"This is the nature of the emperor. He has a clear view of the situation, so he naturally doesn't want to be led by the nose by Han Huang. Although Yang Guochang disagrees with the emperor's mind in side affairs and gradually can't keep up with the pace, he has not yet reached the level of complete disgust. Besides, Li has already gone to the north, and if Yang Li is expelled, the Zhejiang Party will really be the only one, and no one will be able to control it."
Jia Heng tried to substitute the perspective of Emperor Chongping.
As an emperor, it is impossible to follow one's temper. You don't need the Qi Party to suppress the south, and then let the Zhejiang Party rule. In the end, the taxes and taxes in the south of the Yangtze River gradually cannot be collected. At that time, the notoriety can be directly borne by the emperor.
Now it is the scholars from the south of the Yangtze River who are cursing the Qi people, and there are many "Guochang old thieves" in the rural pavilions. When Yang leaves, it will be the emperor who is scolding at that time.
"I can't get too close to the Zhejiang Party, but the Chu Party is better." Jia Heng thought.
His current political power is actually very special. It is independent of Wu Xun. Among the civil servants, it is only somewhat related to the military department of the Chu Party.
Thinking about it this way, I peeked at Han Huang's face, but because I was in the second row, I could only see the side face, and I couldn't see it clearly, but I could guess that it might not be very good-looking.
At this moment, Han Huang is actually very calm, or he is used to the "pua" of Emperor Chongping, because he has already tested what he wants.
Yang thief can't last a year!
A one-year salary penalty is a strong political signal. Of course, in the eyes of some people, it may also be that the emperor has set off a smoke bomb, so there is suspicion.
But if the fog is cleared, under the premise that the right to lead border affairs has been lost and the general of the Beijing camp has been offended, the position of chief assistant is already in jeopardy.
At this time, the officials below seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and they were about to go out to Chen Zou, when Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "Today, the court will discuss matters such as the supplementary quota of cabinet members. .”
All of a sudden, the restless officials were suppressed, but some clever ones had already started to think, and later handed the memorial to the Secretary of General Affairs, passed on a copy of the mansion newspaper, and even wrote more than a dozen bullets to curse in different ways.
Yang Guochang's body was trembling, and he thanked him: "Old minister, thank you for your kindness."
At this time, Jiuqing began to push.
The final list includes Qi Kun, the left servant of the Ministry of Households, Fang Huan, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Mo, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Pan Bingyi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yao Yu, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.
Yao Yu is now repairing books in the Hongwen Library. He is a Qingliu, well-known among scholars, and he was recommended by Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu.
All the above-mentioned people have a distinctive feature - they were born in Hanlin.
In today's cabinet, except for the chief assistant Yang Guochang who is not from the Hanlin Academy, all the bachelors in the cabinet have been trained in the Imperial Academy.
Emperor Chongping looked at the summary of titles, and his stern eyes lingered back and forth on the names of several people. In the mood of the hundreds of officials who were holding their breath and looking forward to it, he raised his head and landed on Jia Heng's face, asking: " Does Jia Qing have any good words?"
As soon as this remark came out, the court was in an uproar.
This is the selection of cabinet ministers. How can you ask a child with a yellow mouth?
The King of Nan'an frowned, feeling a little jealous of the Son of Heaven's favor and trust.
At this time, Peng Ye, the censor of the left deputy capital, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the court officials have their own rules and regulations, how can Wu Xun be allowed to put his beak in order to mess with the order of civil and military affairs."
These people, let you listen here, are already so powerful, dare to speak, are they worthy?
Emperor Chongping glanced at Peng Ye, the censor of the left deputy capital, with a calm face, and said: "Jia Ziyu is the Minister of Military Aircraft, although he is not allowed to recommend candidates, he can also make some suggestions and fill in the gaps. Peng Qing thinks it is not possible to open up my way of speaking?"
In fact, it is just a reminder to add some weight to the military aircraft department to prevent it from becoming a cabinet vassal.
When the ministers heard this, their hearts trembled slightly.
Jia Hengdao: "I think that the cabinet ministers assist the sage to manage the government affairs, and they should choose wise and capable talents. Then people like Peng Yushi who only know how to attack the ministers and are helpless in military affairs are not allowed to join the cabinet."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present looked strange, this Jia Ziyu was really upright and hard to invade, he wanted to fight Peng Ye forever.
Peng Ye's face was ashen, and he cursed inwardly, Li Zi is so daring!
At this moment, it is impossible for him to stand up and reprimand, talking nonsense, with a face of "Why can't I join the cabinet?"
Qing Liu still shameless?
Peng Ye could only snort coldly to show his disdain.
Emperor Chongping paused for a moment, and said: "The cabinet ministers choose wise and capable talents, Jia Qing's words are not unreasonable."
Hearing this, Peng Ye's face turned pale, with cold sweat dripping down his back, what does the Son of Heaven mean by this?
The left deputy capital censor, the next step is the governor and the governor-general of a province, and then move back to Beijing. At that time, there is a possibility of joining the cabinet.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a while, and said: "Qi Kun, the Minister of the Household Department, has a clean wind and a strict festival, and is meticulous in dealing with wealth. I will let this person enter the Wenhua Palace to predict the maintenance."
Hearing this, Qi Kun felt as if he had been killed by lightning, and "Putong" knelt down to pay respects, his cheeks flushed, and his voice trembling a little: "I thank the Holy Lord for your kindness, but it's hard to repay the Holy Grace."
At this time, Han Huang felt a chill hit his back, and his hands and feet were cold.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the emperor had seen through all his calculations.
Yang Guochang's mood also moved slightly, but his face didn't show the slightest bit.
Originally, he didn't expect Qi Kun, who had little qualifications, to join the cabinet, thinking that the emperor would beat him up, but he didn't expect...a pleasant surprise.
At this moment, Jia Heng also felt a little strange.
Emperor Chongping, what does this mean?
"I don't want you to think, I want me to think!"
To promote Qikun into the cabinet, is it to beat Han Huang, or to prepare for the replacement of Yang Guochang?
How to explain this seems to make sense.
The emperor's mind is sometimes not easy to ponder.
In fact, the Son of Heaven is the most brilliant PUA master, who is good at pulling and pulling. While using you, he keeps a spare tire, and even casts a wide net to test (test) you.
"At the beginning, the emperor used Wang Ziteng a lot, but I was actually a backup. Now that Yang Guochang sees no success, the emperor seems to be looking for a successor. So in the emperor's heart, which one is the backup, Han Huang or Li Zan?" Jia Heng thought After a hundred turns, I just feel that what Li'er said earlier is indeed true, and the emperor is indeed good at manipulating power.
This is also a qualified skill for a mature emperor. You can't be like Chongzhen, who was played around by civil servants and changed his head and assistants too often. In the end, when the government and the opposition went down with a brick, they could hit several cabinet scholars.
This in itself shows that the emperor has no independent opinions, and what he thinks is what he thinks.
"Even if I was able to make great use of it before, whether it is a high-level hunter who always appears in the image of prey is in doubt." Jia Heng recalled Li'er's reminder.
The reason why it was Li'er, not Jinyang, was to ease the feeling of dread.
Emperor Chongping encouraged him: "The Ministry of Household Affairs is very important. Qi Qing has the ability to manage affairs, so he must be brave and diligent."
Qi Kun handed over Xie En, saying yes again and again.
Just when everyone thought that the Qi Party had won a complete victory by accident and the Zhe Party was disgraced, in the Daming Palace, which had been quiet for a while, the voice like golden stones and jade resounded again.
"Zhao Mo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, understands the laws and regulations, and understands the government orders. He can be a scholar of the Dongge University. He can predict the maintenance and still manage the affairs of the Ministry."
As soon as this remark came out, the complexions of the civil and military officials changed suddenly, and their hearts were shaken. Someone from the Zhejiang Party also joined the cabinet, so now there are six bachelors?
Well, there is another one who has gone to the north, and the meaning of the actual governor is stronger, so there are still five people in the cabinet now.
At this moment, Han Huang's mind is clear and his eyes are indifferent. His judgment is not wrong.
Bandit Yang can't last long!
Now it was Yang Guochang's turn to worry, and he didn't know what it was like.
There are usually five cabinet ministers in the cabinet. Now that Li Zan is stationed in the north, there are five remaining cabinet members, which seems reasonable.
But this is a signal, even if the north suppresses the south, it is not impossible to change hands.
"No matter what, until the end of the year, the rectification of the salt affairs will show results. Jia Heng's child is in a bad situation, and the Holy Majesty will know that he can't do without me." Yang Guochang thought.
At this moment, Zhao Mo came out of the class and bowed his hands to thank him, and bowed his head.
A majestic Shangshu has only entered the cabinet until now, so one can imagine the sadness and joy in his heart.
So far, the Zhejiang Party and the Qi Party have won and lost each other, and the turbulent court situation seems to be balanced again.
