Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Next, it was indeed as Yue Yang said. Five days later, Chongzhen suddenly proposed three quotas for joining the cabinet. Yue Yang, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng were all on the list, and these three new quotas also caused a stir in the court.  There was an uproar, and many ministers expressed their opposition to this appointment.  ¦æ?Among these three people, Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou were Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi and the forty-third year of Wanli respectively. Logically speaking, they are also old-fashioned Jinshi, but they have an innate shortcoming, that is, they are not Shujishi.  .  The so-called common people are also called common people.  Its name comes from the meaning of "common people and good people" in the "Shu Jing. Establishing Government".  It was a short-term position in the Hanlin Academy during the Ming Dynasty.  Those with potential were selected from those who passed the imperial examination and were close ministers of the emperor. They were responsible for drafting edicts and explaining scriptures to the emperor. They were one of the important sources of assistant ministers of the Ming cabinet.  ??The Ming Dynasty has had a practice since the Yingzong period: those who are not Jinshi will not be admitted to the Hanlin, and those who are not Hanlin will not be admitted to the cabinet.  Although Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng wanted to join the cabinet, they had enough qualifications, but they lacked the gilding of having served as an imperial scholar in the Hanlin Academy. The other person, Yue Yang, was even less qualified. This guy was just a scholar, a Jinshi.  Juren Tongtong was not qualified. Logically speaking, he was not even qualified to be an eighth-grade county magistrate, let alone join the cabinet as a chief minister, which naturally aroused strong protests from the ministers.  Today's morning session was full of the pungent smell of gunpowder. Many ministers expressed their opposition to Yue Yang and other three people's proposal to join the cabinet. What's more, some of the six subjects jumped out and openly shouted for Chongzhen.  This was a violation of the ancestral system and a great disrespect to the ancestors. For a while, the Tai Chi Hall was as lively as a busy city.  Yue Yang and others had expected that the matter of joining the cabinet was opposed by others, but the three of them were not completely unprepared. Soon many ministers jumped out to speak for the three of them.  Especially Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, after all, they are both veteran Jinshi. Although they are not Shujishi, they have enough merit and qualifications in recent years.  The only difference is their qualifications to serve in the Hanlin Academy. As long as the two of them are willing, they can easily make up for this shortcoming.  The one with the most heated debate is Yueyang. After all, this guy is just a scholar. If this guy is admitted to the cabinet as a bachelor, it will be a slap in the face of the civil servants. This is absolutely unacceptable.  Seeing the unanimous objections of dozens of officials, Yue Yang was not angry, but calmly watched the shouting officials remain silent. After all, he is a person of status now, and he quarreled with people on the spot.  Of course, you can't go into battle naked when doing something that involves losing your status. You have to have your own subordinates do it for you.  Soon Yueyang.  Ma Shiying, who had just taken refuge in Yueyang, and Ruan Dacheng, who had just been recruited by Yueyang to be a censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also stood up to speak for Yueyang. Ruan Dacheng even pointed at the noses of the officials of the Sixth Section and cursed: "If there is no loyal and brave marquis,  For my Ming Dynasty, I conquered the east and west, and you can sit in the court and point out the major affairs of the court. It's fine if you don't feel grateful, but you use some dispensable ancestral rules to prevent the marquis from entering the cabinet.  Intentions?¡± One of the officials sneered and said sarcastically: ¡°I don¡¯t think Mr. Ruan is quite good at flattering. Although Marquis Zhongyong has merit, the court also gave him dignity and praise. Now we are discussing the matter of joining the Yingzong.  Since then, our Ming Dynasty has had a rule that non-common people are not allowed to enter the cabinet. It is already a bit out of line to allow Master Lu and Master Hong to join the cabinet. Wouldn't it be sabotage if people like Yue Yang, who are not even civil servants, can enter the cabinet.  The ancestral system has been established for hundreds of years. How can I just watch you and other villains corrupt the imperial court and ignore it!" This famous official probably had a fight with Yue Yang today, and he actually called him by his first name.  Everyone has a tendency to follow blindly. Seeing this famous official denounce Yue Yang, the current minister, with such impassioned words, many famous officials around him began to get excited.  He raised his hands to help.  "Exactly, how can we be lenient in destroying the ancestral system? We will not agree to such a ridiculous move even to death!" "The ancestral system cannot be shaken, and we firmly disagree with Yue Yang's entry into the cabinet!" Faced with these noisy officials.  Another middle-aged official wearing a scarlet official robe stood up.  He glanced at these officials with disdain and said lightly: "If you want to take advantage of the ancestral system, I also remembered one thing. Taizu's daily life record once recorded that anyone who corrupts fifty taels of silver can be put to death. Anyone who corrupts one tael of silver can be put to death.  A hundred taels of silver can be used to peel off the skin and show it to the public. Do you think this is true? "The person who spoke was Ruan Dacheng. After he finished speaking, the surrounding area fell silent, and then and then nothing, and then  Zhu Yuanzhang was a ruthless man. The name of this ruthless man was not given to him by himself, but was given to him by others after the precipitation of history.  When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, he awarded many meritorious officials, including fifty-nine princes.  But in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, twenty-three of these princes were killed, not counting the execution of their heirs or those who died of illness, of which sixteen died directly in the Hu Lan case.  Hongwu 30th yearIn 2007, Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, and among the originally named heroes, only Xinghou Geng Bingwen and Wudinghou Guo Ying remained. It can be said that the entire Hongwu dynasty's heroes were almost destroyed.  Our Comrade Lao Zhu even killed princes and princes with such vigor, let alone those officials. It is said that Lao Zhu killed too many local officials at that time, and the reserved officials could not keep up with the killing speed. Even the substitute officials could not keep up.  It's not enough. This shows how ruthlessly Lao Zhu kills.  Although more than two hundred years have passed since Lao Zhu's death, when Lao Zhu's name is mentioned, even Yan Guan, who is said to dare to scold anyone, can't help but tremble all over. Damn it, you're good.  Why are you mentioning this god of death? Can we still have fun together?  When Zhu Yuanzhang was mentioned, let alone the officials below, even Chongzhen, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, shuddered in his heart, secretly cursing in his heart, if this ancestor here saw what Ming Dynasty had become like under his rule.  , will he be beaten to death by his old man?  Facts have proved that the arm cannot twist the thigh no matter what.  No matter how fiercely these people quarreled, when the emperor was determined to promote an official, no one could stop him. Yue Yang and the other three finally joined the cabinet. Yue Yang, who only had the reputation of being a scholar, also openly became a  The bachelor became one of the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty besides the emperor.  "Some people may want to say that although Yue Yang became a cabinet scholar, didn't he still have Zhou Tingru as his chief assistant?  But anyone who cares will understand that if Yue Yang enters the cabinet, Zhou Tingru may be able to stay in the position of chief minister for how long.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
