Chapter 2 Cabinet Personnel

In the Mandarin Palace.

Zhu Qizhen faced the members of his cabinet.

Shoufu Han Yong needless to say.

The second assistant is Zhu Yi, the Duke of Chengguo.

There's a story here.

Gordon died three years ago.

Zhu Qizhen wanted Fang Jin to enter the cabinet at that time. was just blocked by Han Yong. Han Yong blocked Fang Jin on the grounds that Fang Jin was not a duke.

He nominated one of Teng Guogong, Xu Guogong, Wei Guogong, Qian Guogong, and other Guogong.

Zhu Qizhen knew what Han Yong meant.

Han Yong is not an ordinary civil official.

Rather, he has led soldiers into battle.

Of course, he had no intention of controlling the military power of the imperial court. This is something to be taboo to do. He is measured. But he wanted to bring the power of military decision-making into the cabinet.

Before that.

Most military decisions seem to have been negotiated between the emperor and the cabinet, but in fact they were discussed between the emperor and a few ministers, or Zhang Fu, or Meng Ying, or Yang Hong, or Guo Deng.

And these princes are all inherited titles, and they have no combat experience.

Among them, Teng Guogong, Qianguo Gong, and Wei Guogong are a little better.

After all, Teng Guogong is only the second generation of titles, and the contemporary Teng Guogong is naturally nothing in the eyes of the old Teng Guogong Meng Ying. But after all, they have fought wars, and the Duke of Qianguo and the Duke of Wei are both a new generation from martial arts, and now the Duke of Qianguo has hung up the chief military officer of Yunnan, guarding Yunnan, and joining forces with the current King of Xiang, planning several military operations against southern Xinjiang, and the ability is still there

However, it does not have the ability to control the military and political power of a country.

In this way, such an incompetent prince has less to say in military affairs. In this way, this power will be in the hands of Han Yong.

Although Han Yong is not as good as many generals in terms of command, he doesn't feel worse than anyone else in terms of temple calculations.

And what Han Yong did seemed to be his own actions, but in fact, Yang Rong's original thoughts were in the same vein. In Han Yong's mind, the military generals are just minions of the country, and they are just minions.

Naturally, it is necessary to be driven by civil officials. In this kind of military, it is abnormal for the head of a hundred officials to be unable to interject.

Zhu Qizhen was actually angry at Han Yong when he did this.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen can only back down to Han Yong.

No, Zhu Qizhen has no way to deal with Han Yong, but Han Yong has grasped Zhu Qizhen's weakness.

What weakness?

It's a change.

Han Yong can be said to have spared no effort in implementing the new law. It is easy for Zhu Qizhen to take Han Yong, but it is difficult to find someone who can replace him.

Zhu Qizhen was even more worried that his move to win Han Yong would give outsiders the wrong association and add more twists and turns to the change.

Zhu Qizhen didn't have no way to deal with Han Yong, but he was a rat trap.

And the reason why Han Yong rejected Fang Jin was also

It makes sense.

The ministers entered the cabinet as the head of the ministers, and Fang Jin was only the identity of a Weiyuan marquis, it was impossible to become the head of the ministers, and he could not suppress all the ministers, so it would not be appropriate for Fang Jin to enter the cabinet.

Zhu Qizhen proposed Wang Yue.

At that time, although Wang Yue was guarding in the Western Regions, the war in the Western Regions was not possible without Wang Yue.

And Wang Yue was named the Duke of Weiguo because of the rebellion in the Western Regions.

With Wang Yue's ability, he can naturally sit in this position.

It's just that Han Yong said that although the war in the Western Regions is safe, there are also jackals. Not credible. Now there are famous generals in the Western Regions guarding the town, so naturally there is nothing to do, but when Wang Yue returns to Beijing, I don't know what the situation will be in the Western Regions.

Although Zhu Qizhen felt that Han Yong was alarmist.

However, Zhu Qizhen also felt that it was not unreasonable.

After the death of Shi Heng, a series of battles. Zhu Qizhen didn't guarantee what was going on in Wa Ting's mind.

Nomads are like this, they only look at the strength and weakness, and there is absolutely no credibility at all.

If it is tribute, it will be tribute, and if it should be traded, it will be traded. However, looking at the advantages, he will never be stingy in fighting a battle.

In fact, the war in the Western Regions has never ended, but the two sides are in a state of instability. Next month, it is rumored that the Western Regions will have a battle with the tile spurs.

Zhu Qizhen wouldn't be too strange.

However, Wang Yue can't.

But Zhu Qizhen still has a candidate, that is the current Chengguo Gong Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi guarded Yili for three years and was famous all over the world.

Coupled with his contributions since joining the army, although it is not enough to seal the Duke of Guo, Zhu Qizhen is particularly gracious and confers the title of Duke of Zhu Yi. This is actually a reassurance to many noble children.

After all, although martial arts education has cultivated many generals from poor families, before these generals, they were just ordinary people, and they grew up in the army step by step through the martial arts system, and the representative of them was Wang Yue.

But the most powerful of the martial arts factions is still the Xungui group.

Among the nobles, it can be subdivided into looking at the founding of the country, Jingjing, and orthodoxy, which goes without saying, if it is divided into those who hold real power and those who have lost influence in the army.

In the midst of large-scale military reforms, the adjustment of the guards, the purging of the purge, and the dismantling of the dismantling. Xungui's special influence on the guard cannot be maintained.

The previous commanders of the guard post were hereditary, and their relationship with the nobles was passed down from their ancestors, so they could naturally be maintained, but now most of the guards have begun to be rogue officials.

Where do they care about this guard, what is the relationship between this guard and seeking a nobleman?

There are also quite a few people in this group who have worked hard in the army through martial arts.

And Zhu Yi is their idol.

How was the Duke of Chengguo robbed, and at the worst time, he was driven out of the imperial mansion. And Zhu Yi regained himself step by step

Ancestral titles.

Naturally, it won the support of many people in the army.

And Zhu Yi, after all, was the original young prince, and under the ups and downs, he was the most tempered.

Zhu Yi may not be good at fighting, but she is politically astute enough. Since Zhu Qizhen pushed Zhu Yi out as the spokesperson, even if Zhu Yi was not for the benefit of Xungui, just for Zhu Qizhen's greeting, he would not let Han Yong suppress him.

Han Yong's idea of suppressing Xungui was dismissed by Zhu Qizhen.

This is just an ordinary exchange between Zhu Qizhen and Han Yong.

In the eyes of outsiders, Han Yong's play, Zhu Qizhen is not allowed to play, and some people even rumor that since the orthodoxy, the first assistant of the past dynasties, the prosperity of the holy grace, is just Zhou Wenmu, and today's Han Shoufu.

In fact, the depth of the still water flowing below the calm waves is known only to the world.

The rest of the cabinet members have also changed a lot, and the old minister Wang Yonghe Zhishi.

In history, this old minister was one of the ministers who were martyred in Tumubao, and now he is over 70 years old, and he has dealt with the most arduous affairs of the Ministry of Works, and after Liu Dingzhi's sudden death, he has the intention of retreating.

After Wang Yonghe Zhishi, he was replaced by Xiang Zhong.

This is Han Yong's idea.

However, as the head of the cabinet, it is a natural power to install people in the cabinet. Zhu Qizhen will not refuse.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen won't let Han Yong install someone alone.

Zhu Qizhen also installed people, that is, businessmen.

Shang was also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and was replaced by Chen Wen, a cabinet scholar.

At the time of Liu Dingzhi's sudden death, Chen Wen was actually the person who could compete with Han Yong for the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, but although Chen Wen had a lot of tricks, he was a little worse than Han Yong.

At least Han Yong's courage is something that Chen Wen does not have.

Han Yong can force Zhu Qizhen to compromise on many things, Zhu Qizhen is angry, and he has to admit one thing, that is, Han Yong has the prime minister's spirit.

The real prime minister is the one who is polite and the assistant yin and yang. Without a little domineering, how can you hold the field.

Chen Wen was not vulnerable to Han Yong at all.

It's just that as long as some things are fought, you have to bear the consequences.

After Han Yong came to power, he naturally suppressed the opponents in the cabinet, and it was none other than Chen Wen. Chen Wen was forced into a corner, and he could only use his old illness to act.

As for the real old disease, or fake old disease is another matter.

Another one who quit the cabinet was Li Shi.

This Li Shi is not incapable, several mission missions, completed very well, but the cabinet is full of immortals, Li Shi has served in the Ministry of Rites all his life, how can this kind of noble yamen be cultivated to be a fierce general?

It has not been a year or two since Li Shi has been marginalized in the cabinet. Li Shi soon understood that if he stayed any longer, he would stand in the way, and he would return to his hometown as a cabinet scholar.
