Chapter 81: The Great Pilgrimage

"Be specific!" Shi Kefa suppressed his surprise.

Huang Daozhou also exhaled a long breath and said, "His Royal Highness went down to me for an interview, in order to deal with government affairs after the formation of the cabinet. In other words, I was invited to take up the post of Minister of Education, and the General Administration of Education was responsible for the promotion of teaching in various parts of Daming. For example, the normal school will be opened in Kaifeng, Jinan, Wuhan, Changsha, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. After the construction of normal schools is completed, the plan of building 3,000 primary schools, 100 intermediate primary schools, and 5,000 vocational schools will be reached in five years. And this is all the tasks of my tenure. For this reason, His Highness has approved a budget of 10 million taels for me within three years...... Nothing more, no less! ”

"Such a grand event, you can leave a name." Shi Kefa listened to it for a long time, sighed for a long time, and didn't know how to express: "Where is Zhang Tianru now?" ”

"Xianzhi, you are also hearsay, do you really think that Tianru has been sent to prison?" Huang Daozhou looked at Shi Kefa.

When Shi Kefa heard this, he opened his mouth and said after a long time: "I won't hide it from you, I, the counselor, don't have much real power for a long time." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is justifiable, and the internal and external garrisons are also respectful. I really don't know about Tianru's affairs. ”

"He went to Jingshi, and no one intercepted him." Huang Daozhou said, looked at his old friend, and said, "Your Highness's heart is not as narrow as you and I think. More often than not, it's better to draw conclusions after watching their deeds. Restrictions, go with me to meet them. His Highness will be here in a moment. The appointment of Kenyuki should also be announced here. ”

Shi Kefa slowly bowed his head and did not speak.

No third person knew what Shi Kefa and Zhu Cihong talked about during the meeting, but there was no surprise. The power of the Nanking garrison has gradually shifted. And the person who holds the power is the current crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the supervisor of Nanjing...... Zhu Cihong.

Before the gentry and common people of Nanjing could feel the change, they saw another news from the Jinling Daily. The Great Dynasty Meeting is about to be held.

This is the second time that Nanjing has held a court meeting since the Yongle Emperor went north to establish Beijing in Beiping. This also means: Nanjing once again became the center of the Ming Dynasty.

The center of power.

August 1 of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

Gu Jiang was dressed in a seven-grade court uniform and stood at the noon gate with a solemn face. To his left and right, countless officials were waiting in court clothes.

Officials from all over Nanjing gathered here, and the grand ceremony of the court, which had not appeared in Nanjing for a hundred years, was held today.

The civil and military classes are divided into left and right, some of them have gloomy faces, some people are uneasy, but more of them are like Gu Jiang, beaming with joy.

Among the literary class were Shi Kefa, Li Banghua, Huang Daozhou, Yang Wenyue, and the six Shangshu Imperial Historians of Nanjing, as well as the civil officials of Nanjing Jiuqing, Ying Tianfu Prefect and Zhu Cihong. For example, Chang Zhilang of the new General Administration of Customs, Si Qi of the Nanjing Police Department, and Huang Zongxi of the Traffic Police Brigade.

In the martial arts class, Zhao Zhilong, the garrison of Xincheng outside Nanjing, talked with Hu Dawei and Chen Yongfu behind him from time to time. It's just that Hu Dawei and Chen Yongfu really don't have any good colors for this honorable commission. Just gossiped with other generals in the Royal Guard Legion, and only occasionally said a few words to Zhao Zhilong when he was free. Naturally, Liu Sheng, Liu Zhen, Shi Zhanbang, Liu Quan and others were happy. Of course, there are not no ugly expressions in the martial arts class. For example, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo were silent, hiding their unwillingness and fear, and from time to time they threw a few glances at Ma Shiying in the literary class.

At this moment, Ma Shiying didn't care about the thoughts of the two of them.

All his mind was on the upcoming court meeting.

Everyone hid their thoughts and demeanors, and quietly let everyone in front of the noon gate form a small circle. Only when a bell rang that everyone lined up and entered the five gates.

There. Zhu Cihong stood at the gate of Fengtian Hall under the service of Han Zanzhou, looking at the civil and military officials who entered the entrance and came in from Fengtianmen one after another, and couldn't help but feel a feeling that the whole world was in his hands: "It's just ...... My father is still here. It can only be exercised on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

Come to think of it. Zhu Cihong turned sideways, looked at the throne in the Fengtian Palace, and watched intently for a few breaths before turning around and letting Han Zanzhou sort out his appearance. Then quietly waited for the civil and military officials to complete the ranking.

When everyone finished standing up, Zhu Cihong didn't talk nonsense. Open the cavity directly.

"The lonely father and emperor came to respond to the heavens and acted for the son of heaven. Since the father gave Lone this power. Of course, Lone can't live up to his father's grand intentions. Now the northeast border of the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, and the Mongol Emperor in the north is also taken by the Jurchens. There are Tartars on the outside and thieves on the inside, which is actually a special period of military-oriented. To this end, Lone decided to build a new government office, reorganize the cabinet, and revitalize the great cause of the three-hundred-year-old dynasty! After Zhu Cihong's opening remarks, he announced the new cabinet and Zhu Cihong's newly established government office.

"The Military Aircraft Department will be responsible for strategic and tactical affairs, internal affairs of the army, supplies, and the transmission of military orders. Personnel: Yang Wenyue, Li Banghua. ”

This number one is naturally the military aircraft department where Zhu Cihong has appeared before. In charge of the military aircraft department is Yang Wenyue, who was diligent and diligent in the Kaifeng Campaign. Of course, the official positions of the Military Aircraft Department are scarce, and now there are only two people who can take the title of Minister of Military Aircraft. And the other permanent minister of military aircraft is not a fresh face, it is a cadre of Li Banghua's military department who stepped down from the imperial history of the left capital of the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the military affairs department of the Royal Guards Corps.

Obviously, this is Zhu Cihong's version of the Privy Council.

Soon, Yang Wenyue and Li Banghua came out of the queue and said solemnly: "Respectfully receive the holy order." ”

That's right, all of Zhu Cihong's appointments should be the emperor's treasure. No one knows how many copies of the blank holy decree that Zhu Cihong took with the jade seal, or simply had the treasure of the Son of Heaven given by Emperor Chongzhen.

After all, the Son of Heaven has eight great seals.

After talking about the Military Aircraft Department, the next thing is another yamen that Nanjing civil and military officials are most concerned about and most familiar with: "Government affairs will be handled by the State Cabinet." The Chief Minister oversees all affairs: Li Banghua. ”

Compared with Beijing's bachelors, Zhu Cihong's cabinet here is like a different form. All the cabinet members are named so-and-so ministers, and there is no embarrassing position for scholars at all.

It's just that compared to the loneliness of the military aircraft department. The cabinet is just as empty. There are not many people.

Jin Sui Li Banghua was followed by Fu Shuxun, Minister of Finance and Economy. As Zhu Cihong's authority became more and more powerful, Fu Shuxun's life in Beijing was not as good as before. It just so happened that Zhu Cihong wanted someone to be in charge of Nanjing's affairs. And they called him to come. Fu Shuxun is naturally happy, and Chongzhen is enough for the emperor to take advantage of the situation to change.

The second is Gao Mingheng, who was the governor of Henan and Shandong. This gentleman has now arrived in Nanjing. He was appointed Minister of National Defense in the Nanking Cabinet.

The fourth place to be announced was the Minister of Education, who had been rumored in Nanjing for a long time. Indeed, as rumored to be, all the Zodiac Zhou, who had a very high reputation in Nanjing, served as him.

It's just that Zhu Cihong's position has changed in this announcement.

"Huang Daozhou became the Minister of Education and Culture, responsible for the development of education and culture, and completed the construction of local normal schools and junior primary schools in the five-year plan." Zhu Cihong smiled and issued the certificate of appointment.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhiyu quietly held a letter of appointment from the General Administration of Education and Culture, and his expression was full of fighting spirit.

Huang Daozhou calmly took over Zhu Cihong's appointment.

In the literary class, for some reason, suddenly the atmosphere quietly changed.

Many people set their eyes on Shi Kefa's body and understood, along with the acceptance of Huang Daozhou. No one in the Jiangnan region will ever choose to resist Zhu Cihong's power.

Thinking of this, Ma Shiying suddenly felt a little sad.

Ruan Dacheng had fled back to his hometown again, but as a governor-level official in the south of the Yangtze River, he could not retreat from Zhu Cihong's call. It's just that at this moment, he deeply understands Zhu Cihong's strength. The gathering of the eunuchs, the Fushe and Donglin had no power to resist in the face of this magical prince.

And the crown prince's move was also extraordinarily ingenious, making them unguardable. It's like the difference between a firebolt and a crossbow. This is an epoch-making change, as if a new world is brewing in his hands and growing, crushing the heroes of the old era again and again.

Shi Kefa is also related, and he even has a feeling of being abandoned by the times.

But at this time, Zhu Cihong suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Fengtian carries the emperor's system...... Shi Kefa was inaugurated as Minister of Integrity. He also served as the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Inspectorate. ”

Shi Kefa was stunned for a long time, looked at Zhu Cihong, and was speechless for a long time.

But Zhu Cihong looked at the man with a dark and thin face, and said with a look that Shi Kefa couldn't understand: "Shi Qing's character is in everyone's eyes. From now on, the rulers of the empire will be handed over to you. Lone can openly say that anyone who is corrupt and perverts the law. It will never melt into the laws of the Empire! ”

Hearing this, Shi Kefa's hands trembled slightly. For a long time, bow down. said: "What His Highness said, the minister dare not forget every word. Settle down and die! ”

Then, the appointment of the Cabinet of State was much calmer.

Minister of Economy and Finance in charge of the Household Department: Fu Shuxun. The Minister of Education and Culture is in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the General Administration of Education: Huang Daozhou. The Minister of National Defense is in charge of the Ministry of War: Gao Mingheng. The Minister of Integrity is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate: Shi Kefa. It is Li Banghua who is in charge of the overall situation.

Everyone listened quietly to the appointment, and quietly, a thought popped up in everyone's hearts.

"Obviously, there are still many empty lists in the cabinet. But in any case, more importantly, after this establishment, isn't Li Banghua ...... Prime Minister? The real prime minister. It is important to know that the Cabinet of State will no longer be an empty advisory body, there will be real departments under its jurisdiction. In addition to the six ministries, the General Administration of Customs, the General Administration of Education, and the General Police Department were all attached to the cabinet. ”

"A new era has begun." Li Banghua muttered.

……

Nanyang.

Sun Chuanting looked at his hungry and thirsty subordinates, and his heartache in his eyes flashed.

Beside him, a staff member said comfortingly: "It's better to rest for the general system." You haven't closed your eyes in two days. ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head firmly: "How can I rest, the soldiers followed me all the way from Xi'an, and the thieves were defeated and retreated, but they were found by Jiannu to wreak havoc in Shanxi." It was not easy to drive away the Jiannu with the soldiers, and how hard it was to transfer thousands of miles from north to south. But right now, I haven't closed my eyes for three days, and how many soldiers haven't even eaten a mouthful of hot food? How many people have had a full meal? ”

"It's just that the eunuch deceives people too much! Alas, it would be nice if it was still being opened...... It's just that we ......" The staff member wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sun Chuanting. The staff said that near Kaifeng, when Chang Zhilang directly supplied the Shaanxi army.

At that time, Chang Zhilang was a military supply according to the standards of the Royal Guards Corps, and I don't know how many people missed it.

"Those things, don't talk about them. After this battle, I'll find the eunuchs to clean it up. Sun Chuanting said, but he no longer had so much confidence.

As a person who was fished out of prison by Zhu Youzhen, Sun Chuanting did not say anything about His Majesty's gratitude. Naturally, although Zhu Cihong, the crown prince, is more clever than Zhu Youzhen and is more capable of fighting, Sun Chuanting has always maintained a distance from Zhu Cihong. Even if Fu Rugui, Zhu Cihong's closest confidant, personally came to Xi'an to give him silver, Sun Chuanting was unmoved.

However, with the emergence of the two centers in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere in the court and China began to become stranger and stranger. Zhu Cihong is naturally fearless, but Emperor Chongzhen is extremely sensitive to this. This time, Sun Chuanting was very dissatisfied with the eunuchs sent out by Emperor Chongzhen everywhere.

fell to the side of Henan, on the front line of the battle with Li Zi, and naturally the eunuchs of the prison army were indispensable. What's more, because Wang Chengji, the eunuch of the founding army, understands the relationship between the emperor's father and son very well, and he even urges Henan to supply military supplies in every possible way.

It is said that the supply of military supplies is just that, after all, it is for the front-line soldiers, and Chang Zhilang, who is in charge of affairs in Henan, will certainly not refuse to give it.

But Wang Chengji urged the military on the one hand, but on the other hand, his eyes were rolling wildly, his hands were stretched out, and he caused a lot of chaos in Kaifeng. The pacesetter battalion of the overseer army under his command was more of a thief than an officer. It even provoked Sun Chuanting's former thieves who surrendered to the official army to sprout in a solid state, colluding with Wang Chengji on the one hand, and arsoning with the army on the other.

Chang Zhilang endured it for a while at first, but soon he couldn't bear it anymore, and Nu'er started to investigate strictly. For this reason, Hu Dawei also personally stationed in Kaifeng for a while.

At this point, Wang Chengji didn't dare, but the problem of military supplies became more and more severe. He didn't dare to go to Qiming City to spread wild, but the Kaifeng Mansion, the Henan Three Divisions, and the prefectures and counties ran over one by one, like robbers.

For Sun Chuanting, no matter how indiscriminate Wang Chengji was, it was just Zhu Cihong's trouble, he didn't care at first, and he didn't care, he just rested his troops and went south to attack Li Zicheng.

Sun Chuanting didn't care, but Wang Chengji cared very much, and frequently hinted that Sun Chuanting would take a hand. Although Sun Chuanting is loyal to the monarch, he is unwilling to get involved in this kind of private matter.

It didn't take long for Wang Chengji to end patiently, not only recklessly urging military funds, but also directly cutting off Sun Chuanting's logistics supply.
