Chapter 1651 Daming Good Teacher
Now he becomes an imperial master?
The imperial masters of the Ming Dynasty were incredible... Once you were the emperor's master, you would be able to serve as a minister in the cabinet!
All the treacherous ministers in the dynasty looked at Kong Zhenyun with envy and hatred... If I had known earlier, I should have been the first to stand up!
"I will live up to the grace of the Holy One!" Kong Zhenyun picked up an emperor's teacher for nothing, and his heart was filled with joy, and his words were full of energy.
"Mr. Kong, please get up." Zhu Youjian smiled and greeted Kong Zhenyun to get up, and politely called him "Mr. Kong."
Kong Zhenyun stood up in the envious eyes of everyone, and glanced at the cabinet bachelors standing on the white marble platform outside the Huangji Gate - according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, only the cabinet bachelors and the ceremonial supervisor
Da Yuneng accompanied the emperor on the white marble platform.
Although Kong Zhenyun was second after Confucius (he was not a direct descendant, so he did not have a hereditary official position, but was born in the imperial examination), he was not young when he was in high school. He was already 45 years old (47th year of Wanli).
I'm 53 years old, so I can't go up to that white marble platform without any chance.
But at this moment, Kong Zhenyun would never have thought that Zhu Youjian didn't want him to join the cabinet at all... Because in his previous life, Zhu Youjian had already asked Kong Zhenyun to be a bachelor, and it seemed to be of no use.
.
This time Zhu Youjian has to choose a few useful bachelors...and to become a bachelor, it is best to become an imperial master first.
Having made up his mind, Zhu Youjian said again: "I want to find a few more officials... Sun Chuanting, a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli, was very knowledgeable, and he was not afraid of Wei Ni and gave up his official position. He was a man of backbone.
I am a loyal minister and can be my lecturer. Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi Province and involved in politics, is also a well-educated Confucian and can also be my lecturer.
There is also Lu Xiangsheng...will he go to court today?"
Lu Xiangsheng was a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so of course he came to court. He was standing among the ministers when he heard that Emperor Chongzhen actually called his name... It seemed that he wanted to be an official! He was stunned for a moment.
Live!
How is this possible?
Lu Xiangsheng is only 27 years old this year. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. How many years has he been an official? Now he is going to become an imperial master?
"Didn't you come?" Zhu Youjian didn't see Lu Xiang being promoted from class, so he thought he didn't come, so he said, "It doesn't matter if he didn't come, you still have to be an official!"
Only then did Lu Xiangsheng realize what he was doing. He quickly left the class and came forward, kneeling down and saying, "Your Majesty, I have few talents and little knowledge. I am afraid that I will not be able to take on the important task of being an official."
"Are you lacking in talent and knowledge?" Zhu Youjian smiled, "It doesn't matter... I still want you to be an official, so you can teach some shallow knowledge, but don't refuse anymore!"
Zhu Youjian doesn't care if Lu Xiangsheng is knowledgeable or not... If he is not knowledgeable, he can teach it himself! Whose teacher is responsible for teaching! But he still has to be an official, because he is Lu Xiangsheng!
Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to thank him and accept the order.
Zhu Youjian thought for a while and then said: "There is also Chen Qiyu, who seems to be an official in Nanyang, and he also comes to be my official!"
Well, now, Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Qiyu...all the civil servants who were more capable when Chongzhen was in power in his previous life were recruited to serve as his officials. There is still one Shi Kefa left, because he is not in high school yet, so
It can no longer be used for the time being.
But he couldn't wait long. Zhu Youjian thought for a while, Shi Kefa was a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, so he would be awarded the top prize when the time comes!
In this way, Zhu Youjian now has five great generals including Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Qiyu and Shi Kefa. Why worry about the Ming Dynasty not being able to revive?
Of course, now is not the time for the five famous commanders to exert their efforts...the pro-army troops in front of the tent haven't started training yet!
Now we still need to be more conservative and maintain a solid defensive situation in all aspects.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian said to Huang Liji: "Chief Assistant, there are only four bachelors now... There are still two positions for bachelors vacant, so let Wang Zaijin of the Ministry of War and Xu Guangqi of the Ministry of Industry fill them.
It’s missing!”
Wang Zaijin and Xu Guangqi have not arrived in Beijing yet. Wang Zaijin is from Henan and should arrive in the next few days. Xu Guangqi is from Shanghai and will not be able to come in a few months.
But the bachelor can decide first so that no one will worry about it.
Of course, Huang Liji would not raise any objections to these two appointments... If he had so many objections, Wei Zhongxian would not let him be the chief assistant.
Sometimes this three-pronged approach can be useful!
...
The royal court in the Huangji Palace ended quickly, because no one was against him. Zhu Youjian was in a good mood. He took a few eunuchs and went back to the Qianqing Palace in a grand manner. He entered the Qianqing Palace on the front foot.
Later, a eunuch came to report that it was Queen Yi'an who invited me.
Queen Yi'an is no longer in Kunning Palace, but moved to Ciqing Palace. Ciqing Palace is the palace where Chongzhen and Tianqi were born. He still lived there before Chongzhen wrote to the king. Therefore, the houses and various facilities are preserved.
It's better. After a little tidying up, it can be occupied.
In addition, Ciqing Palace was also the residence of the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youjian still has no son, and he has already said that he will adopt his eldest son (that is, Zhu Cihong) to Queen Yi'an as his son, and he will also be named the emperor's nephew.
Therefore, placing Queen Yi'an in Ciqing Palace can also be seen as a declaration that Zhu Youjian will fulfill his promise.
Because of this promise, and because Zhu Youjian handed over the Hakka family to Queen Yi'an, Queen Yi'an has been quite supportive in the days since Zhu Youjian ascended the throne.
However, Zhu Youjian's performance after cutting off Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka gang members was not likely to satisfy Queen Yi'an. This king does not seem to be a "wise king"!
There are so many remnants of the eunuchs in the court who will not be driven away.
The honest men of the Donglin Party are still being wronged and don't know how to rehabilitate others.
Even the most die-hard eunuchs, the five tigers, five cubs, ten dogs, ten children and forty grandchildren were not taken to prison and tortured, but were placed under house arrest in the Xiyuan of the Imperial Palace... Moreover, Queen Yi'an also listened to
It is said that Zhu Youjian released Yang Hao and Li Ruzhen, two traitors who had been sentenced to death, from the imperial edict, and also made them serve as pro-military counselors in front of some accounts! Isn't this using traitors?
If Zhu Youjian wants to train troops, he should not use Yang Hao and Li Ruzhen, but should use Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan!
Therefore, after the Queen Yi'an thought about it again and again, she planned to kindly remind Zhu Youjian - if his current performance is not good, he may become a coward!
"Sister-in-law, how are you living in Ciqing Palace?" After greeting Queen Yi'an, the eldest sister-in-law who was "like a mother", Zhu Youjian brought the topic to the house, "Ciqing Palace is always a bit old.
Well... I plan to build a palace in Nanhaizi in a few days, and then I will also build a better house for you."
Zhu Youjian did not want to build a garden in Nanhaizi, but wanted to build a bastion there! Not only he wanted to build it in Nanhaizi, but also built a bastion in Beiyuan, Dongyuan, and Diaoyutai to serve as pro-army troops in front of the tent.
The gathering place and the station at the time of the previous episode. In addition, when the Boy Scouts come to Beijing, they will also be distributed among these four forts.
Zhu Youjian will travel between the Forbidden City and Nanhaizi Fortress. Most of the time, he will live in Nanhaizi Fortress to conveniently supervise the training of the pro-army troops in front of the tent.
However, Queen Yi'an misunderstood Zhu Youjian's meaning and thought that the emperor wanted to study civil engineering in the royal garden... He was trying to be a fool!
"Your Majesty," Empress Zhang frowned, as if she wanted to teach someone a lesson, "Now that the country is in troubled times, our royal family should save a little and not be too extravagant... If we start construction in Nanhaizi at this time, I'm afraid
Isn’t that inappropriate?”
Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "Nanhaizi is not a big project, and it doesn't cost much... As for reducing costs, I have an idea. I will talk to my sister-in-law today. I plan to make the palace younger.
Let all the palace maids go, and at the same time drastically reduce the army. If we can reduce the number of twenty to thirty thousand people, we can save at least millions of dollars every year... This is a huge savings!"
