The addition of cabinet scholars made Shi Kefa and others quite uncomfortable, but they were helpless, and they could only pinch their noses and admit Wang Yin's entry into the cabinet. In fact, if you don't admit it, there is no way, the princess of the prison country is in charge of the monarchy and has the right to appoint scholars, and now it is just a candidate for scholars appointed by the Central Decree. And Wang Yin is Chen Yue's person, and it is also well known, no one wants to make Chen Yue unhappy because of this matter.

These days, a series of events have proved that Chen Yue's attitude is still very good, and he is also very gentle with civil officials. After leading the army into Nanjing, not only was the military discipline strict and did not commit any offense against the people, but Chen Yue himself was far from being arrogant and domineering before. Except for a few people such as Han Zanzhou, basically no ministers were arrested, let alone robbed their homes and killed their heads, that is, even Chang Yanling, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, who had commanded the army and was his enemy, was gently spared, and there was no intention of pursuing it.

And the dust of the Tang Wang's case settled, a series of ministers involved in the Tang Dynasty were not investigated, and the result of the trial of the three legal divisions was only borne by the dead Han Zanzhou and the missing Liu Kongzhao, and Chen Yue, the king of Qi, was not dissatisfied with this at all, and it made the civil officials relax their vigilance and gradually relax their minds. In the past few days, Chen Yue has only cared about handling military affairs, purging the Beijing camp, and completely ignoring the government affairs, which makes Shi Kefa deeply satisfied.

The current situation is similar to that of Chongzhen when he was sober, no, it should be said that it is better than then, after all, Chongzhen likes to handle everything personally when he is sober, so that the cabinet is just the emperor's secretary, which is like now, all major affairs of the court and government are from the hands of the cabinet, and the power of himself and others has reached the limit, and every move is related to the situation and fate of the country. There is nothing wrong with the princess supervising the country, and Shi Kefa is very proud that he made the right choice. If he had made other choices at that time, Da Ming would not know what the chaos would have been!

However, at this moment, a note from Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, broke the calm of the court.

It was a calm morning, and several cabinet elders were working in their own duty rooms. The five elders, each responsible for a piece of affairs, and finally all the affairs are summarized here by the first assistant Shi Kefa, and then reported to the palace to wear red.

Wang Yin, a scholar of Dongge University, was originally the secretary of the military department, and he was also responsible for matters related to military affairs in the cabinet, because Shi Kefa knew that Chen Yue would definitely not let go of military affairs regardless of anything else, and instead of sending other people to be in charge of military affairs and friction with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it was better to simply let Wang Yin be in charge of this part.

However, because Wang Yin and Chen Yue are too close, Shi Kefa has been paying attention to him, and he will generally personally verify the affairs handled by Wang Yin to prevent favoritism.

The Ming Dynasty had frequent wars, there were too many things involving military affairs, and military affairs were too important, even Shi Kefa did not dare to despise it, no, today he checked the problem from a large number of notes sent by Wang Yin.

"Elder Wang, what the hell is going on?" Shi Kefa immediately asked people to invite Wang Yin over, pointed to Song Shu and asked.

Wang Yin glanced at Song Shu and said indifferently: "Jiangxi Governor Yan Yingyuan wrote a book, saying that Jiangxi has just experienced the ravages of thieves, most of the prefectures and counties have fallen, and the officials are empty, and the King of Qi defeated the western thieves and recovered Jiangxi. Motosuke, is there any problem? ”

Any questions? Looking at Wang Yin's innocent expression, Shi Kefa was almost angry.

"Of course there is a problem, a big problem! The appointment power of government and county officials is in the imperial court, and Yan Yingyuan is a governor of the district, what qualifications does he have to appoint on behalf of the imperial court? What's more, the appointed candidates turned out to be some Xu officials Qiu Ba, doesn't this regard the candidates for Ming officials as child's play? ”

"Yuanfu, you are thinking too much, Governor Yan said that it is only a temporary appointment, that is to say, it is just Governor Yan's suggestion, isn't it up to the imperial court to decide whether to agree or not?

Jiangxi has just experienced war, so it naturally needs officials to settle the people and organize production, so what's wrong with Governor Yan doing this? Wang Yin said coldly.

"Hmph, Wang Ge Lao, you are also a Ge Lao scholar now, don't you know the rules of the imperial court? The government and county officials represent the imperial court to shepherd the party, how great is the responsibility, how can anyone do it? Qiu Ba in the army, Xu officials in the yamen, do they know how to govern the country and the herdsmen? Shi Kefa reprimanded bitterly.

Wang Yin's face suddenly became gloomy, "I am a bachelor in charge of military affairs, I think Yan Yingyuan's letter is very suitable and appropriate, and I should agree with it." Now that wars are frequent, extraordinary means should be used in extraordinary times, how can we hold on to the lack of food and the ancient! ”

After Wang Yin finished speaking, he slammed the door and left, only to turn Shi Kefa's face blue.

Non-imperial examinations are not allowed to be civil officials above the seventh grade, this is already the rule of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be easily changed? Shi Kefa categorically would not allow this to happen, so he sat down and made a big cross on Yan Yingyuan's recital, and then wrote his opinion in detail in the back, and asked people to send it to the inner palace with the other recitals.

Generally speaking, the first assistant does not agree to the song does not have to be sent to the king, but this letter is related to the war-torn Jiangxi, and has the consent of the cabinet elder Wang Yin, which means that the cabinet has a disagreement, and it must be sent to the palace to be decided by the princess of the prison country.

In the past, Princess Kunxing basically had no objection to Shi Kefa's handling of the music, but this time Shi Kefa was faintly uneasy, because he knew that this matter was extraordinary. Who is Yan Yingyuan, Shi Kefa knows very well, if it weren't for Chen Yue's strong recommendation, with Yan Yingyuan's background as a small official, even if he made great contributions, how could he become a feudal official? At that time, Jiujiang won a big victory, Zhang Xianzhong was the head, Chongzhen was happy and accepted Chen Yue's recommendation, although Shi Kefa felt that it was inappropriate, but Chongzhen, who was extremely excited, could not prevent this from happening.

Yan Yingyuan is Chen Yue's person, Wang Yin is Chen Yue's person, Yan Yingyuan's book must be from Chen Yue's instructions, with Xu officials and military officers as government and county officials, these people must be the king of Qi Chen Yue's horse head is Zhan, so Jiangxi will become the sphere of influence of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, Jiangxi from now on only recognize the king of Qi Chen Yue and do not know that there is a court. Therefore, this matter is not as simple as simply appointing some temporary local officials, but involves social stability, and Shi Kefa naturally does not dare to slack off.

However, now that the matter is beyond Shi Kefa's control, Song Shu has been handed to the princess of the prison country, and everything can only wait for the princess of the prison country to decide. And what decision the princess of the prison country will make, Shi Kefa can imagine it, because he knows the relationship between Chen Yue, the king of Qi, and the princess of the prison country.
