Chapter 609: The Squire of the Ministry of Works


In a palace change, more than a dozen civil and military officials above the fourth or fifth rank in the DPRK and China were folded in, and many of them were in important positions.

After the interrogation between the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was directly sentenced to beheading, and all the family property was confiscated.

The wife and children in the family are old and young, and they are sent into exile or used as a lowly status, and this Ministry of Industry Shangshu family is considered to be completely declining.

Not only the Ministry of Works, but also two squires in the six departments, and the rest like the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Guanglu Temple, etc., all have the henchmen of the great prince.

It should be said that this time it was a very big blow to the emperor and the imperial court.

This is also the reason why the emperor has been sullen lately.

Just because of his thoughts, he appointed He Xiangye as the first and auxiliary minister, and in more than ten years, the He family and the eldest prince have gathered so many officials as party henchmen.

This is only in the capital, and other local officials, except for the prefects of Zhending, Baoding, and Liaodong that have been discovered so far, do not know that no one is affiliated with the He Xiang faction.

After all, most of the officials who participated this time were officials from the capital, and those officials from other places could not participate far away, and they were even more hidden with the failure of this palace change.

The emperor has been thinking about how to deal with the endgame next for the past few days, there are so many official vacancies in the capital, many of them are important functions, and they must be filled as soon as possible.

Not to mention the officials from other places, in order to prevent such a thing from happening in Zhending Mansion, the emperor has already calculated, and there will be relatively big changes in officials from all over the country in the future.

Basically all officials across the country must be transferred, and this is a big move, and if you don't get it right, you will have a mess, so you must be cautious.

At the same time, the emperor also plans to increase the opening of the autumn festival this autumn and the spring of the next year, through this means, select a group of talents to fill the current shortage of officials.

Of course, Enke will not be able to select people until next year, and now he has to arrange errands for the group of people who were selected in the spring of last year, and he can't let these people stay in the Hanlin Academy's Jishi Pavilion.

It should be said that last year's batch of Jinshi was lucky, and they were only in the Shujishi Pavilion for a year, and they were basically able to arrange job errands.

But after all, these people have no experience, so they can only start from the bottom, and it will take some time to get high power in place.

It is said that Yuan Mingze is now a concubine, and he should no longer be sent to a real errand, he should receive a false title and hold some less important official positions.

But the emperor cherishes Yuan Mingze's talent, and there are too many vacancies in the imperial court, so he can't take care of those at this time, and plans to give Yuan Mingze the position of the squire of the Ministry of Works.

So when the emperor's words came out, several people present were stunned, and Yuan Mingze changed from a fellow acquaintance of the government to a squire of the Ministry of Works.

From a local official of the fifth grade to a Beijing official from the third grade, this jump is too big.

This official also has to be qualified, Yuan Mingze was the champion last year, and this year he became a third-grade official, the speed of this promotion is too fast, who can not be surprised "Father, I'm afraid it's not good, Erchen has only been an official for more than a year, and he is still a government official, and he was suddenly promoted to the Ministry of Works, and Erchen is afraid that the officials in the court will not be convinced."

Yuan Mingze was also surprised, although he was a little happy in his heart, but he was more worried, for fear that others would say irresponsible things, saying that he was relying on the second princess to climb to the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works so quickly.

"What is not convinced, although you are young and qualified, but your ability and ability are very good, you have done a lot of practical things that are beneficial to people's livelihood in Baoding Mansion this year, and I know and understand.

Now that the imperial court is employing people, my original intention is to select some young talents.

Those old men who only know how to shout all day long and don't do practical things are still cool on the side, and I don't like to listen to their nagging. ” The emperor promoted Yuan Mingze, which was somewhat to compensate the second princess, but more importantly, Yuan Mingze did not have much foundation in the court.

Yuan Mingze is young and energetic, and he is a little less slippery than those old guys who have been Beijing officials for more than ten years.

"I said you can do it, even if you take office, I will support you in the back, what else is there to worry about" The emperor made his attitude clear, and he wanted to support Yuan Mingze as a backer.

When it comes to this, what else can Yuan Mingze say, he can only agree with his head.

"The son of the emperor thanks his father for his love, since the father can trust the son of the minister, the son is not modest, everything is decided by the father."

Yuan Mingze was young and vigorous, and it was when he was full of ambition and had nowhere to show it, and he was originally worried that he would only be able to lead a false life if he became a colt.

Now that he has such a real difference as the waiter of the Ministry of Works, it is too late for him to be happy, and it would be hypocritical to shirk it again, so he responded quickly.

After the emperor finished arranging for Yuan Mingze, he turned his head to look at Zhou Pengjun, "Pengjun, you were in the Jingwei Command Division before, and this time you have made a contribution to quelling the rebellion, I transferred you to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and appointed the Governor of the Governor's Office." ” Zhou Pengjun was originally in the command of the Jingwei Command Department as the commander of the affairs, is the fourth product, this time to quell the rebellion, Guangping Marquis Mansion contributed a lot.

Especially Zhou Pengjun, according to Qinghan's request, led the troops to exterminate the bandits in Wuhui Mountain, and then led people to pretend to be the soldiers of Wuhui Mountain and entered the palace to protect the safety.

This time, Zhou Pengjun made a great contribution, and it was reasonable to be promoted, but he didn't expect that he would be promoted to the governor of the second rank all of a sudden.

You must know that the prince of Guangping Hou was just the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies before, and Zhou Pengjun suddenly became the governor of the same place, one level higher than his brother.

Zhou Pengjun was naturally very happy, and hurriedly got up to thank him, "My son thanks my father for his grace." ” The two sons-in-law were arranged in very important positions, and the emperor was very happy, no matter what, the sons-in-law were also his own family, and they were always closer than those outsiders.

And these two people are relatively close to the prince, and they can also become the prince's right-hand man in the future, so they won't have other thoughts.

The emperor used to be still old, and he felt that he was very young, but since this palace change, he felt that his mentality was not good, and his energy could not keep up.

Therefore, he plans to promote more young officials, one is to inject new strength into the court, and the other is to pave the way for Shen Lingye in advance.

A young king should also be assisted by a group of young courtiers, and the kings and ministers should work together to accomplish great things.

"Okay, well, I'm glad to see you all grow up.

In the future, you should be more dedicated to your errands, and when the prince returns to Beijing, you young people should also be closer and closer.

In the future, the world belongs to you young people, and as I get old, I should slowly learn to let go, so that you can experience and grow. ” There were relatives in front of him, and the emperor was also very relaxed, and couldn't help but sigh.

Qing Han, who had not spoken beside him, was stunned in his heart at this time, how could the emperor suddenly say these words "My father is not yet old enough to know the destiny of heaven, so he will be old":
