Chapter 606: The Controversy of Scholars (1)

On September 25, Pravda was published. The courtiers in Beijing have basically read it www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion. In the newspaper, in addition to advocating and building momentum for Yin Dazhongcheng, there are also several articles for the nine provincial capitals to check Wang Ziteng.

The article is from the two miscellaneous officials of Shuntianfu and Zhu Hongfei, the imperial history of Jiangxi Province in the same year as Jia Huan. The three articles are full of flowers, and they count the achievements of Wang Ziteng in the positions of envoy of the Beijing camp, the commander of the nine provinces, the military aircraft Zhangjing, and the inspection of the nine provinces.

This came as a surprise to many "observers". Unexpectedly, another strong opponent was killed. Wang Ziteng's resume and qualifications are indeed enough. He also has the trust of the Son of Heaven.

And the officials of the four major families who attended the birthday banquet of Mrs. He in the palace yesterday all smiled knowingly. Who doesn't know that Zhu Yushi is Jia Huan's royal trumpeter? Jia Huan is very fierce, but that's it!

On September 26, after the Chang Dynasty outside the Fengtian Gate, the Yongzhi Emperor Yuwu Ying Hall convened the ministers to discuss the matter. Prepare to determine the pending and multi-party competition for the bachelor's degree candidate.

Since this year, the number of times the Emperor of Yongzhi has been going to the court has become less and less, and most of the time it is He Daxue who takes the courtiers to visit the throne in the Imperial Palace. There are fewer times when the ministers are called. It really made the courtiers feel that the sky was beautiful and the palace gate was far-reaching.

This was an experience that the ministers had never experienced in the previous thirteen years. It's not that there is no imperial history book to scold: the emperors who don't go to court are mostly faint kings in the history books. But they were all left by the Son of Heaven.

The officials are like leeks, and in these years, they have cut one stubble after another. The new officials, where can they deal with the fourteen-year-old Yongzhi Emperor? When he was the official, these newcomers were still munching on bread and reading the books of the sages.

Therefore, in this Wuying Hall meeting, all the courtiers who are qualified to participate in the meeting were present. The Chang Dynasty outside the Fengtian Gate requires the Beijing officials of the five grades to participate. Except, of course, Hanlin and Yanguan. Wu Yingdian deliberates, and the qualification requirements for officials are higher.

In short, in addition to the parties, they are the ministers of civil and military affairs who are qualified to deliberate. About forty or fifty people.

In the Wuying Hall in the morning, the courtiers entered in twos and threes, and each stood according to their shifts. This is very familiar to the courtiers who are mixed with the court.

Later, the praise officials of Honglu Temple, the reading officials of the General Administration Department, and the supervision of the imperial history of the correction were in place. Zhu Hongfei has dark skin, medium build, and sharp eyes sweeping the ministers. He is the Emperor of Correction today. Here, at this time, the heart fluctuates.

After the Son of Yongzhi came in, the net whip sounded three times, and the court meeting began.

The Son of Yongzhi was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, white and slightly fat, sitting on the throne, and said in a steady voice: "Let's start playing." ”

The phalanx of Hanlin Cichen was close to the Son of Heaven, and Cai Yi, the Hanlin attendant and Japanese lecturer, could see that the face of the Son of Heaven seemed to be a little tired, obviously because he didn't get up early today and didn't rest well. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: The Yongzhi Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty has entered the second half of the period.

Song Pu, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, stepped forward to salute the Son of Yongzhi, and then turned sideways, faced the ministers, and presided over the court meeting, "Recently, Han Runzhishi, a scholar of Wuyingdian University. In the Military Aircraft Department, only He and Liu, two university scholars, watched the concert and pre-aircraft maintenance. Today, the princes are here, and there is one scholar of Tingtui University. ”

The selection of officials in the imperial court is nothing more than the procedures of ministerial selection, ministerial promotion, court promotion, and special simplification. Among them, Tingtui is the most valuable. The positions of Tingtui are generally official positions such as squire, Shangshu, Jiuqing, local governor, and university scholar.

This shows its preciousness. And the court pushes the officials, which often represents the support of the courtiers and the popularity of the people. The so-called, the righteousness of the official is nothing more than this.

The court push process was presided over by the official department Shangshu, and the courtiers each recommended candidates, and then voted to elect two or three people for the Son of Heaven to choose.

After Song Tianguan finished the above paragraph, he then shut his mouth tightly. There was silence in the Wuying Hall for about a few seconds. Seeing that Song Tianguan did not mean to speak again, the courtiers all understood that this was a sign that Song Tianguan did not recommend a candidate.

Generally speaking, the official department will throw out several candidates. This is his area of competence. It can be seen that it is not without reason that the official department is still in the position of the first boss of the foreign dynasty!

In fact, if you think about today's situation, you can understand, why didn't Song Tianguan say a word? Because, in his own right, he is one of the candidates for the bachelor's degree. He can't be shameless, in front of the courtiers, he recommends himself, right? This kind of thing has its own junior brother (henchman) to do

Liu Feibai, a university scholar, said: "I recommend Zeng Jin, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites. ”

He Shuo talked to him once. He is not a strong character, and when he works with He Shuo, there is friction. But by and large, it has passed. He Shuo is indeed talented, upright and virtuous. What's the trouble of adding a thorn in the head?

The right attendant of the Ministry of Officials and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Bachelor Xiao, spoke: "I recommend Yin Peng, the imperial historian of the left capital. ”

Mr. Xiao opened his mouth to recommend Yin Peng, which surprised many people. looked at Xu Cheng, who was silent in the six phalanxes. Xu Cheng was promoted by Scholar He and was a bachelor of Chaoxiao. These two seem to have a bit of a knot.

Immediately, there was also a Shangshu Huamo of the Criminal Department who recommended Yu Zicheng, the political envoy. The left waiter of the military department recommended Song Pu, the secretary of the ministry.

Zhao Shilang, the left waiter of the household department, said loudly: "I recommend the prince Teng of the nine provinces to be controlled. "Zhao Shilang is good friends with the old Wuxun group. Jiafu went to Qingxuguan to fight Jiao, and he also specially sent his second son to give gifts. When Jia Zheng was in Beijing, he had dealings with him from time to time.

Because, yesterday's Pravda newspaper already had an article advocating Wang Ziteng. Anyone with a little brain understands that the editor-in-chief of Pravda is Jia Huan. Wang Ziteng is Jia Huan's uncle. Obviously, certain forces want to launch their own political standard-bearers!

Not many people in the courtiers know about the scene in the Wang family.

A very ordinary recommendation. Song Pu, the secretary of the ministry, was ready to put the list of Wang Ziteng on the empty book. Song Tianguan felt more of a tricky feeling of a strong opponent at this time.

At this time, the foreman of the military aircraft minister, the university scholar He Shuo came out and played to the Yongzhi Emperor: "How can the military attache be the chief assistant?" Wang Ziteng has no experience in the ruling party, and the minister thinks it is inappropriate. I beg Your Majesty to annul this recommendation. ”

How does a military attache serve as a military attaché? Scholar He's words were in an uproar in the Wuying Palace!

At the stage of recommending candidates, the atmosphere suddenly changed. No one expected that Scholar He would exert his strength at this stage. Isn't it more qualitative to manipulate the number of votes during the court vote?

Xu Cheng lowered his head, his mind spinning rapidly. Soon, it became clear to me what the problem was. Pravda has reported on Wang Ziteng's exploits in the past two days, which has only strengthened the label on Wang Ziteng: military attaché.

How can a military attache from a noble background enter the military aircraft department? Don't even think about it. must be a civil servant, born on the right path of the imperial examination.

There are more than one clear-eyed people in the court, Xu Cheng. Tobe Shangshu Weihong soon tasted it. There was something strange in his heart: why did Jia Huan prevent Wang Ziteng from being promoted to a university scholar? Isn't that his uncle?

Among the honorable generals, some people immediately said dissatisfiedly: "He Xiang, why can't the military attache be the chief assistant?" In the Tang Dynasty, it was a beautiful talk to go out and out. This dynasty also has this example. ”

He Shuo did not reply. He was waiting for the Son of Heaven's reply. Among the civil servants, some people immediately came out of the ranks, quoting scriptures, laying out facts, and reasoning (flickering), explaining that the military generals were zaifu and were not conducive to governing the country.

In the Wuying Palace, it soon became a pot of porridge!

Yongzhi Tianzi smiled bitterly in his heart. His Zaifu is very capable, but he always wants to engage in civil politics. Here it is again: the suppression of military generals.

Wei Qihou, the governor of the right capital, came out of the column and said to the Son of Heaven: "What Xiang's words are unfair. The ministers thought they wouldn't take it. However, Wang Ziteng's proposal to become a scholar is indeed inappropriate. If it is judged by the record of the record, wouldn't it be more appropriate for the minister? ”

In the sequence of honorable military generals, some people immediately laughed.

This is really not bragging, Wei Qihou's military exploits are many times greater than Wang Ziteng's. If it is based on military merits, Wei Qihou can be a scholar. However, it is obviously inappropriate for Wei Qihou to be Zaifu. Therefore, according to this logic, Wang Ziteng is also inappropriate.

The King of Beijing and the King of Nan'an County all frowned.

Don't think that Wei Qihou said anything fair, this is just a contradiction between the old and new martial arts groups. Wei Qihou, the leader of the new Wuxun Group, felt that he did not want the prince of the old Wuxun Group to become Zaifu!

Wei Qihou spoke, and immediately another group of nobles joined the debate, all of whom did not agree with the prince's promotion to a scholar. Nominations are not possible. Because, sometimes nomination often means a qualification. Not this time, maybe next time.

Seeing that the opposition was relatively loud, Yongzhi Tianzi hesitated a little. Wang Ziteng is a courtier he promoted. True blue. Of course, he put Wang Ziteng in charge of the nine-sided elite soldiers, and what he valued was his loyalty.

The king of Jin strongly recommended Wang Ziteng in front of him. The Son of Yongzhi discussed this. At this time, there is already a bias in the mind.

At this time, Gao Guo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said: "The minister thinks that it is not appropriate for the king to check. He may not be good at military affairs. Not to mention the more widely implicated political affairs? ”

The Son of Yongzhi nodded and said, "What Gao Shangshu said is true." ”

Tobe Zhao Shilang was a little dumbfounded. Some time ago, when Wang Chenghei, the eldest son of Wang Ziteng, found him, he didn't say this: the ministers and the king of Jin all supported and were foolproof. But what about today? Bullshit foolproof. Shaft!

King Beijing and the others were a little disappointed with this result. But Wang Ziteng did not communicate with them beforehand. At this time, they are not good at going against the trend.

When the courtiers thought that the next step was to vote, Gao Guo, the secretary of the military department, suddenly said: "The minister has a discussion, the king of Jin is wise and intelligent, why doesn't Your Majesty designate the king of Jin to participate in the court meeting?" ”

As soon as Gao Shangshu's words fell, the face of the Son of Yongzhi sank.

In the Wuying Palace, it instantly became cloudy. The atmosphere is tense. This is not entirely due to the anger of the Son of Yongzhi. Instead, the courtiers all understood that Gao Shangshu publicly fired the first shot of this dynasty's succession!

Who among the courtiers can stay out of this huge whirlpool and dark tide?
