Chapter 307 Settled
Although he is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Zeng Shengwu's status is actually a little awkward. It's not that he ranks a little lower in the cabinet, but because of his current cabinet composition.
If Zeng Shengwu was the second assistant to the cabinet, it might have been better, but he was not.
Zeng Shengwu went to the northwest for military reform, and delayed him for a long time there, which made him now ranked low in the cabinet. In fact, among the cabinet, Shen Shixing, Yu Youding and Wang Xijue were in the same year.
Although it is not a big party for personal gain, many times the three of them will still support each other.
This is not a good thing for Zeng Shengwu. Although he has the support of the emperor, support alone is useless. Zeng Shengwu knows this, and Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, also knows it.
But this time the establishment of the Military Affairs Office was a great opportunity for Zeng Shengwu.
First of all, he understands military affairs because he has done it before. With the contribution of the Northwest Military Reform this time and the emperor's trust, Zeng Shengwu is full of confidence in his entry into the Military Affairs Office.
Once you join the Military Affairs Office, your status will inevitably be greatly improved and will not be inferior to Shen Shixing.
With this benefit, Zeng Shengwu naturally had no reason to object. Now Liang Menglong stood up to support him, Zeng Shengwu was naturally unwilling to fall behind, so Zeng Shengwu also stood up.
"Your Majesty, I think the establishment of the Military Affairs Office is a great virtue!" Zeng Shengwu said loudly.
With Zeng Shengwu's words, the others also stood up and spoke up.
Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction and kept staring at Shen Shixing and others. The meaning was very obvious, and you also had to take an attitude. At this point, Shen Shixing naturally would not object anymore.
"I'll review it!"
Under the leadership of Shen Shixing, the others also followed suit.
"Since all my dear friends agree, let's settle this matter!" Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said with a smile: "I have a preliminary plan for the selection of the Military Affairs Office. I will talk to you about the current situation today."
"The Military Affairs Office has established six military ministers to participate in military aircraft, and has established several traveling ministers to serve as staff."
"As for who will enter the Military Affairs Office, I need to think about it carefully!"
Regarding the Military Affairs Office, Zhu Yijun did not intend to recommend the court or ask for any opinions. To put it bluntly, I took all the cabinet's sets, and I would not be allowed to enter the cabinet if I had no choice but to Hanlin. I don't want any of these in the cabinet's seniority.
I have the final say in the Military Affairs Office, and I will decide the candidate myself.
Things were settled soon and the court discussions were disbanded.
In the next period of time, there were two major events in the court. One of them was the emperor's establishment of the Military Affairs Office, which made everyone at the foot of the court wonder who could be like the Military Affairs Office.
None of the six ministers and nine ministers doesn’t want to join the Military Affairs Office. This is a big yamen!
Although I don’t know what kind of yamen it will develop into in the end, from the current situation, at least in the past two years of preparing for the Northern Expedition, this Military Affairs Office will inevitably be a top priority.
In terms of status, it will even surpass the cabinet, and no one will care.
The second big thing is that the vassal kings enter Beijing.
After nearly two years of preparation, the Jin King's lineage finally began to enter Beijing on a large scale. More than a dozen vassal kings finally set off from Shanxi and would soon reach the capital and enter the royal palace of the imperial city in the western suburbs.
In fact, Zhu Yijun didn't care much about this because he didn't have to worry about it.
Wang Xijue is really a talented thing. Over the past year, he has used both soft and hard methods and has emerged one after another. Without causing any messy things, he finally got the King of Jin.
With the entry of the King of Jin into the capital, the entry of the Ming Dynasty into the capital officially began.
This also means that the pressure of the Ming Dynasty royal family will suddenly decrease, and princes from all over the country will also begin to enter Beijing one after another.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Yijun sat behind Long Shu's case, holding a pen in his hand, thinking about the candidates to enter the Military Affairs Office. In fact, it is difficult to choose the candidates from the Military Affairs Office. Zhu Yijun actually felt that there were a lot of six places.
But if he was young, Zhu Yijun felt that he could not make any arrangements.
First of all, there are two nobles in the military generals, including the British Duke Zhang Rong and the Ding Guo Duke Xu Wenbi. No matter from any angle, these two must be included, otherwise they would not be able to win the nobles.
In addition to them, Qi Jiguang also wanted to join, which was the Northern Expedition general he personally chose.
The military occupied three places, and the civil servant Zeng Shengwu wanted to join. One was that he did not go to the northwest for a long time, and the other was to weaken the power of the cabinet.
Shen Shixing’s story of the masters of the first and third subjects is indeed very good, but Zhu Yijun doesn’t want them to join in together again.
If Wang Xijue hadn't been busy opening the ban, Zhu Yijun would have already started to attack their triangle combination. Now that he has the Military Affairs Office, he naturally would have to raise Zeng Shengwu.
The second candidate is Liang Menglong, the former governor of Ji Liao.
First of all, he knew the military, secondly, he worked in Ji Liao and had experience. In addition, the Ministry of Works is now organizing the establishment of military craftsmen to enter the Military Affairs Office, which will allow him to coordinate this matter better.
The last seat, Zhu Yijun was preparing to give Li Biao, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Military supervision must be put on the agenda, and if you want to establish a gendarmerie Jinyiwei, it would be appropriate to have a seat in the Military Affairs Office for the commander of the Jinyiwei Li Biao.
With the split of the Jinyiwei, things will soon get on track.
"Put a cup of tea to me!" Zhu Yijun put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his swollen forehead, and said.
Zhang Jing, who was serving on the side, quickly brought a bowl of warm tea, then put it on the table, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, there are endless things in the world, so you should pay attention to the dragon body!"
Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing, then waved his hand and said, "Not as light as it is!"
The matters of the six military ministers have been decided, so they must also be decided. Zhu Yijun is preparing to focus on the walking minister, mainly focusing on young people, such as the hawks in the military.
With the newly-promoted powerful factions such as Liu Jing, Ma Gui, and Ma Dong, as well as the nobles who are the pro-war factions, such as Li Xichao from the Linhuai Marquis' Mansion and Song Liang from the Xining Bo Mansion, these people will be the main force of the Northern Expedition.
For the civil servants, young people trained by Zhu Yijun can also be taken out for a walk.
These people will be Zhu Yijun's future team, and the Northern Expedition is the prelude to these people's rise to power. When the Northern Expedition is completed, the old man from the court should retreat.
At that time, these newcomers naturally took over.
Chapter completed!
