As for Li Banghua's appointment, it was not done casually by Chongzhen. He was an official for more than 40 years and was repeatedly troubled by the Donglin Party. When Li Zicheng captured the outer city of Beijing, he also climbed the inner city as a literati and bleed for the Ming Dynasty. After the city was broken, his family was exiled and he was called loyal and wise.

It is also remarkable in terms of performance. In history, Li Banghua did the work of rectifying the Jingying. However, he was severely investigated for corruption in the Jingying, and was jointly brought back to his hometown by the Donglin Party and the nobles.

The reason why he was appointed as the Minister of Personnel was because of his personality. He was not greedy, nor corrupt, and he was not allowed to enter the world. He was not welcomed by the Donglin Party members, nor by the nobles, nor by the royal family, nor by even his ex-boys.

Such a person is so suitable to be the Minister of Personnel. After all, the Minister of Personnel controls the appointment and removal assessment of middle and low-level officials. If it falls into the hands of people who are good at engaging in the camp, it may become a clique.

It is precisely because the Ministry of Personnel has too great power that the Minister of Personnel does not enter the cabinet.

"I won't mention the issue of money for now, I will solve it in the near future." Emperor Chongzhen said calmly.

"But Your Majesty..." Wen Tiren wanted to say a shameless word in his heart, and asked how to solve it. After all, millions of taels of silver were almost the year of the Ming Dynasty. Now the border army has a problem of owing wages, so there is no spare silver to recruit soldiers, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Your Majesty, I am a low-ranking official position, so why can I take on this important task? I hope your Majesty will think twice!" Seeing Wen Tiren wanting to speak but stopping, Yang Sichang could no longer hold it back.

His previous official position was the right assistant censor of the Inspectorate, but he was only the fourth-rank official position. He suddenly became the second-rank official and the same rank as the ministers of each department. Not only that, he also entered the cabinet at once. He made full preparations for his mentality, but he did not expect that His Majesty would treat him so well.

After all, due to his father back then, he was always ridiculed by the Donglin Party members in the court, and he has always been upset about this matter.

"Wei Chen... Wei Chen also thinks it is too hasty and should proceed step by step." Li Banghua said in a muffled voice.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to be promoted, but in fact it’s only more than a year since he was demoted back to his hometown last time. He just doesn’t want to be promoted beyond the level. Officials without resumes will be ridiculed by their colleagues.

"I hope Your Majesty think twice!" Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji looked at each other and said in unison.

The two were from military generals who were not well educated, but they refused to accept the three civil officials they loved, and felt that they were so confident that they were thrust into the first battalion leader.

Only the new commander of the Jinyiwei, Han Shanhe, sneered in his heart, trying to scold these people for being hypocritical.

Chongzhen didn't care about this at all. He saw all the expressions of these ministers. Their abilities were fully qualified for these positions, which was enough.

As for the words of others, why do you always care about the words of others? What's more, as the emperor, who dares to gossip? He can cut off the tongue of this man to see if he still chews.

"Yang Aiqing, I have repeatedly thought about it over the past few days that the responsibility for your father Yang He was in the court, not your father Yang He. Since it was the court's fault, your father should not bear the fault.

Therefore, I have drafted an order to rehabilitate your father Yang He this afternoon. Your father is old. When you come back in a few days, you will be able to enjoy your old age at home!" Chongzhen thought for a while.

Speaking of which, this is also a shameless thing that my ex did. When the bandits in Shaanxi started, there were pro-suppression factions and pro-suppression factions in the court, and the ex-suppression factions finally chose to recruit pro-suppression.

The person responsible for recruiting the bandits was Yang He, the father of Yang Sichang. Yang He was originally a good official who was upright and honest. He knew very well that these bandits were rebelling because of hunger, and hunger because there was no land to cultivate. As long as the court issued an order to recruit them and give them land and good seeds, the bandits' diseases would definitely be eliminated.

However, the imperial court lost its chain and only gave Yang He 100,000 taels of silver and 20,000 shi of grain. You should know that at that time, Zijinliang, the Eight Kings, Gao Yingxiang, Cao Cao, and Li Zicheng gathered bandits and bandits, and there were 70,000 to 80,000 people. How could the 100,000 taels of silver be enough? How to divide the 20,000 shi of grain?

Moreover, the imperial court was unwilling to resolve the fertile land occupied by the gentry, which led to the rebellion of these people as soon as they received the pacification and took the silver and food.

It is logical that Yang He should not be blamed on this matter. After all, it was the nod of his ex. However, the court needed a scapegoat, and the Donglin Party members did not dare to put this charge on his ex. So the three-sided governor Yang He was imprisoned and was sentenced to death.

Yang Sichang, who had just entered the capital to become an official, heard the news and submitted a memorial to resign three times to replace his father. His ex-girlfriend relieved Yang He of his death and changed to exile. This matter has always made Yang Sichang feel resentful.

Chongzhen knew that Yang Sichang was a filial son, so he decided to correct his ex's mistake, which was also a kindness to Yang Sichang.

But who knew that when Yang Sichang heard Chongzhen's words, his eyes turned red. He stood up and knelt straight in front of Chongzhen, crying and saying, "I am on behalf of my father... thank Your Majesty... I will be heartbroken in this life... to die for Your Majesty!"

The affairs of his father Yang He have always been Yang Sichang's heart disease. He always thinks that he is full and dressed in the capital, but his father suffers in the exile place thousands of miles away and feels like a knife.

The civil servants care most about fame. Poor his father was an honest official all his life, but he was criticized by incompetent criticism and was ridiculed by future generations. He could even think of how painful his father would be in the exile place.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen has rehabilitated his father, how could he not let Yang Sichang be grateful?

"Yang Aiqing asked for it. This is the fault of the court. All I can do is this. When the national treasury is abundant, I will reward it further." Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile.

In the future, I still expect others to work overtime for myself, and the kindness I should give is nothing more than a small task.

"Wen Aiqing, I will promote you to the Grand Tutor today. I hope Wen Aiqing will be an example of the court in the future." After appeased Yang Sichang, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wen Tiren, who was still frowning at the issue of military recruitment and silver.

Wen Tiren was even more shocked when he heard this. The Taifu ranks among the Three Dukes, which is the peak of honor that all civil servants can achieve in their lives. For three hundred years, they have been posthumously awarded after death. Only Zhang Juzheng, a civil servant who was awarded the Three Dukes alive, was Zhang Juzheng of the Wanli Dynasty.

What a great glory and grace!

Wen Tiren is now over 60 years old, and his ability to cultivate one's own nature has already been perfect. Few things can make his emotions fluctuate so much, but his old eyes suddenly turned red with excitement.

"Old minister..."

"Haha, Wen Aiqing doesn't have to do this. Now there are natural disasters and bandits inside the Ming Dynasty and strong enemies around him. I still hope that the old man will give me some advice!" Chongzhen smiled and dismissed Wen Tiren.

It's ridiculous to say that the civil servants of Daming who have real power have the highest rank are just Shangshu of each department and the second rank.

Although the cabinet members are of high status and powerful, the Grand Secretary is only of fifth grade, but they make all court officials squeeze their heads and want to enter.

Although the position of the Three Officials is the first-class official, it does not have real power like the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. It is just a honorary title, but it is the lifelong pursuit of all civil servants.

Wen Tiren was honest in his life, without forming cliques, and not engaged in personal gain, nor had any other bad rumors. What people like this wanted in their life was nothing but reputation.

Chongzhen was not a stingy person, and for him, it was just a title, and it was not even a simple task.

"In this way, in the future, the country and the dynasty will be important, and I will rely on all my beloved ministers!" Chongzhen said after appeased Wen Tiren.

"Thank you for your priest's kindness! I am willing to devote myself to the court and die until I die!" Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting, and Li Banghua thank you one after another.

Seeing that several civil officials stood up to thank him, Zhou Yuji and the others reacted half a beat and also stood up and said, "We also thank Your Majesty for your kindness. Just ask Your Majesty for your order, and Zhou Yuji will never frown!"

Both of them were from military backgrounds and could not say anything as slight as civil servants. Zhou Yuji was better, so he knew at least a few words, so he spoke first.

"I'm the same!" Huang Degong's face turned red. Apart from fighting, he couldn't even write his own name, and he stammered for a while.

"Hahaha! Please come up with all my dear friends!" Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang and others shook their heads when they heard this, but Chongzhen laughed and didn't care.

Civil and military officials and generals have their own uses. If military generals learn to name the word "文", it would not be a good thing for the court. Chongzhen prefers those brave, fearless and straightforward real men.

"Next, I will talk about the arrangements of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang Factory. This matter is related to the expenses of the treasury in the next two years." After everyone sat down, Chongzhen said in a brief contemplation.

Han Shanhe, who was very bored after staying in the back row for a while, was excited when he heard this.
