Chapter 310 Promoted to Hai Rui Official
As for Wang Xijue.
Zhu Yijun decided to elect him into the cabinet because he received his suggestion to strengthen ties with Siam in order to contain the Burmese aggression at a lower cost of war.
Zhu Yijun had to admit that Wang Xijue had a unique vision, and he could think of using diplomatic strategies to achieve military goals.
of course.
In history, Wang Xijue is indeed quite profound and unique in his views on the current situation.
In the 20th year of Wanli, the Qibai Rebellion happened at the same time as the Japanese invasion of Korea, and Wang Xijue was the main combatant in the war against the Japanese at that time, and when he was called to Beijing by Wanli to serve as the chief assistant, he asserted that the Qibai Rebellion was not to be feared. , the real enemy is the Japanese pirates who invaded the whole country, and the final facts have proved that the Qibai Rebellion was indeed quickly quelled, but it was quite difficult to win the victory of aiding the DPRK and fighting the Japanese.
visible.
Wang Xijue is indeed quite capable in planning military strategies.
And in this life, he also had the opportunity to get in touch with the core because he served as a cabinet bachelor in the cabinet ahead of time, so he noticed that Siam could become the help of the Ming dynasty.
Historically, Siam was indeed very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and it also dealt a heavy blow to Myanmar in history. Even the monarch of the Toungoo Dynasty in Myanmar died in battle because of it.
Less gossip.
So far, the cabinet ministers have become the chief assistant of Shen Shixing, Pan Sheng as the second assistant, and Yu Youding, Liu Yingjie, and Wang Xijue as the new cabinet entrants.
In addition, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was taken over by Zhang Xueyan.
Zhang Xueyan is a capable minister who is familiar with finance and border affairs.
Next, the most important thing for Ming Dynasty is to use foreign troops and collect money from abroad, so the selection of governors is particularly important. First of all, it is required that the governors selected should be good at collecting money and taxes from abroad, and also be good at suppressing rebellions.
And this means that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials must be good at discovering talents in this area.
"The position of the governor of Otsuka must be Zhang Qing."
political affairs hall.
When Zhu Yijun pushed the list at the imperial court, he directly crossed out Yang Wei, the left servant of the official department who was recommended by the courtiers and who was known to have a clear reputation and advocated reducing military expenditures and saving expenditures.
Zhang Xueyan stood up and took the order to thank him.
Then, Zhu Yijun began to appoint a new household secretary.
Although Zhang Xueyan, the former Minister of the Ministry of Households, may not become the Minister of the Ministry of Officials when he is promoted by the court, according to the usual practice, the court will first recommend a few ministers who are suitable to replace Zhang Xueyan. The emperor chooses.
"Let Hai Rui return to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Household Department."
Zhu Yijun chose Hai Rui to take over as the new Minister of the Household Department.
Gein Hairui was a famous reformer in history.
For example, during his tenure as the governor of Nanzhi, he took the lead in implementing the reform of taxation and service, and also created a low-cost achievement of only more than 6 taels of silver to open the Wusong River water conservancy project.
It can be seen that Hai Rui's financial management ability is also very strong.
And in this life, Hai Rui also performed very well in the tax reform where officials and gentry pay food and errands together.
Therefore, in Zhu Yijun's view, Hai Rui is qualified for the post of Minister of the Household Department.
In addition, in this way, Zhu Yijun didn't have to worry about rats appearing in the household department. After all, Hai Rui was supervising him, and he believed that those who wanted to move the national funds to their homes had to restrain themselves.
Of course, it was time for Hai Rui to return to Beijing.
For the lack of Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhu Yijun chose Zhou Yong, the former left servant of the Ministry of War, to take over as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, but he was ranked behind Qi Jiguang and Liang Menglong in the Privy Council.
Now the Privy Council has a privy envoy and three deputy envoys. The first deputy envoy is Qi Jiguang, who is in charge of the military governor of the five armies. swimming.
Wang Chonggu, who accompanied him, was also specially appointed by him as the minister of the cabinet, Jin Shaofu.
Due to serious illness, Yan Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has resigned from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Zhu Yijun ordered him to be promoted to Shaobao, and to join the council to participate in the revision of the criminal law.
Therefore, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice also needs to recommend new candidates.
As for the new Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, Zhu Yijun directly chose Yang Wei, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, to take over.
Because although Yang Wei is financially frugal, he has always been fair in person. When he was in charge of hearing the case of Minister Wang, he resisted the pressure of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng to frame Gao Gong, and saved Gao Gong; And in history, Zhang Juzheng tried his best to speak for Zhang Juzheng because his home was ransacked too hard.
Li Youzi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was also seriously ill and could not get up, so he resigned and returned home, and Zhu Yijun approved his resignation.
Zhu Yijun chose Pan Jixun to take over as Minister of the Ministry of Industry after the court's push.
Pan Jixun is an engineering technocrat.
Next, the important direction of the Ming Dynasty's restructuring was to benefit the people's livelihood, and benefiting the people's livelihood involved the construction of a series of projects that benefited the people without laboring the people, and at the same time realized that the money collected by the court returned to the hands of the people again.
And this requires an official who has the ability to understand engineering to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to preside over large national projects.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun chose Pan Jixun.
After deciding which courtiers to be promoted to be the new ruling ministers, Zhu Yijun turned to Shen Shixing:
"Master Shen, if I feel that the court's recommendation is not in line with my decision, I can speak up, so that when I assist the prime minister in the government, I can manage the government and people, and I don't have to wait for my imperial decree to squeeze people out. This is not the way to employ people."
Shen Shixing got up and said: "My colleagues are all ministers, and your majesty is a holy king. Those who choose and decide can be used to great advantage. I have no objection, but I only feel that at such a time when all the people are in full bloom, if the country cannot be made more prosperous , the people of the Li people are richer, and the ministers will die a hundred times to atone for the crime of wronging the country and the king!"
What Shen Shixing said was not all flattery.
In fact, because Zhu Yijun did not liquidate Zhang Juzheng's party, the ministers who are now full of ministers, except for some clear people who have not yet shown their talents, are basically capable ministers who made outstanding achievements in Jiajing, Longqing and the early Wanli period. .
Whether it is the cabinet ministers such as Pan Sheng and Yu Youding, or the ministers such as Zhang Xueyan and Pan Jixun, including Fang Fengshi, Qi Jiguang, and Liang Menglong from the Privy Council, they are all retained by Zhu Yijun, so Shen Shixing said that he can't be the chief assistant if he is like this. It can be said that he is a generation who has wronged the country and the king, but it is not a word from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Yijun nodded, then got up, and walked to Yu Youding with his hands behind his back: "You and Wang Xijue are both Qingliu of the Imperial Academy who joined the cabinet before they even set foot on the territory. of."
Yu Youding cupped his hands and said: "I understand! I dare not live up to the expectations of your Majesty and the people of the world."
"Where does Master Shen want them to inspect?"
Zhu Yijun then asked Shen Shixing.
"Returning to Your Majesty, I have discussed with Mr. Yu Ge, intending to let Mr. Yu Ge visit the Tianxia Academy to prepare for the establishment of a new ceremony."
"As for Mr. Wang Ge, I believe that he should make a coastal inspection to prepare for the next clear sea trade! Besides, Mr. Wang Ge comes from a wealthy merchant family, so he naturally knows the details of trade."
Shen Shixing replied at this time.
"appropriate!"
Zhu Yijun nodded, and said: "After the summer and autumn taxes are collected, I will order Erqing to inspect according to this intention!"
"According to the order!"
Here, Yu Youding suddenly said: "Your Majesty, before going to the place, please send the quasi-chen to the prison."
Zhu Yijun and the ministers present all looked at him in surprise.
Zhu Yijun asked directly: "Why do you want to go to prison, and Qing also goes there to reflect?"
Yu Youding said: "Returning to Your Majesty, I am not going to reflect, but today's place of excellence, the first place is the imperial prison. Although the imperial prison is not an academy, it is better than an academy. Therefore, I have to go there first anyway. Go to prison, and know what is a place of lectures that can truly enlighten the people and practice the Tao."
"allow!"
"Zhang Jing, give Yu Qing a badge of Beizhen Fusi, and prepare him a comfortable cell. Yu Qing can stay there as long as he wants."
Zhu Yijun agreed to Yu Youding's request, and gave Zhang Jing instructions.
Zhang Jing said yes.
Then, Zhu Yijun looked at Fang Fengshi: "Fang Qing's house!"
Fang Fengshi immediately cupped his hands and bowed: "I would like to listen to the hadith."
"It's been a while since Qing came out of the Imperial Prison. How did you discuss with Duke Ji and the others in the Privy Council? Do you think the Privy Council will perish or not?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
In the previous chapter, a reader commented that Qi Jiguang was still a civil servant as a dog. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, he had shot the servant of the minister and minister. I deleted it because it was not true. Qi Jiguang was a deputy envoy of the privy. It is already equivalent to a cabinet scholar on the cabinet side, one of the ruling ministers of the Zhengshitang, and one of the military ministers of the Qing court, so it was deleted.
