Chapter 567
Zhenwu slowly sipped the tea, glanced at Yinzhi, and said, "Yinzhi's will is not strong, and he will retreat when he is killed. Being a minister is okay, how can he be the king?" After a slight salute, he continued, "This is the comment of the Emperor to the Third Brother."
When he heard that Kangxi's comments to him, Yinzhi was very depressed. Thinking about it, it was true. The Crown Prince Yinreng was deposed twice, and he had great chances, but he encountered a little setback and stopped. It was not surprising that Kangxi made such comments.
Seeing Yinzhi's dejected look, Zhenwu slowed down and said, "When my second brother was deposed, I had already said it before. All the brothers were princes. It is human nature to have a desire to compete for the crown prince. I won't talk about the dispute with my brother's gentleman. I'll just condemn him to go to Europe. After I come back, I will still be of great use. When my third brother has the advantage, he still can't let it go. "
This was so heavy. Before Yinzhi's stool was hot, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The emperor clearly understands that I have no intention of this. The emperor's succession is because the emperor passed the imperial edict in person. The throne is known to everyone. How dare I covet it again? Besides, since the Tianjin Incident, I have lost my desire to compete for the crown prince. How can I still not let it go?"
Speaking of this, he understood Zhenwu's intentions and hurriedly continued: "As a prince, I should share my worries for the king and serve the court. If the emperor condemns me, I will do my best and do my best to do my best."
Seeing that Yinzhi was still quite tactful, Zhenwu nodded slightly, pondered a little, and then said, "I am not a small person, nor can I tolerate others, nor am I ashamed of the fact that the birds are hiding their bows. Third brother does not need to be suspicious and worrying. It is not only you, eldest brother and second brother, I will release them soon and allow them to show their strengths.
The third brother is proficient in law and study in Western learning. He has been busy compiling "Complete Books of Ancient and Modern Times" and "The Origin of the Calendar". He has achieved great results. Now there are few talents in the Western Academy of Qing Dynasty. I want to establish the Royal Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Not only do I have to recruit all the talents of the Qing Dynasty, academic and miscellaneous studies. I also have to pay a lot of money to recruit talents from all kinds of Europe. You will be the president of the Academy of Sciences. You will be responsible for the site selection and construction, and you will be responsible for the recruitment of talents. All the fees will be allocated by the treasury.
In addition, you will also arrest the official schools, academies, and Western learning in the Qing Dynasty. Now that the court has abundant financial resources, it will gradually allocate funds to all academies and Western learning across the country in batches, and expand the scale of official schools. It will take ten years to get rich and strong in the Qing Dynasty. If the people in the Qing Dynasty are rich and the country is strong, it must rely on talents, especially Western learning talents!”
After hearing this, Yinzhi was already a little confused. The Royal Academy of Sciences of the Qing Dynasty! Expand the scale of the official school. Grant funds to academies and Western studies across the country. The silver flowed out like water. How much money does the Eleventh Old has? He heard that there was no sound, and he came back to his senses and bowed and said, "I received the order."
Zhenwu took a sip of tea, glanced at him, and said, "San brother, don't underestimate this job. The Royal Academy of Sciences is an unprecedented initiative in all dynasties, and it is also related to the rise and fall of the country's fortunes for hundreds of years. As the first president, the third brother is enough to keep you in the past.
Education is also a major event for the country. No matter how poor I am, I will grit my teeth and insist on investing. As the scale of official schools, academies and Western learning expands, education will sooner or later become a ministry. I hope that the third brother can become the first Minister of Education of the Qing Dynasty."
Yinzhi was stunned when he heard this. Establishing the Ministry of Education? Didn’t it become the seventh department? What kind of college is the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Qing Dynasty? Why did the Eleventh attach so much importance to it? In this way, the errand assigned by the Eleventh was not a hard work, but a fat man who gained fame and fortune? He didn’t dare to think too much, and hurriedly bowed and said, “The emperor has such ambition, which is actually a blessing for the people of the Qing Dynasty. The minister Yinzhi is not talented, so he can only do his best and do his best to do his job diligently.”
Zhenwu said with a slight hint: "At present, my stall is a little bigger and I have to spend money everywhere. Education is even more expensive. You must choose capable talents. If you have greedy hands, I will never tolerate or indulge them."
"I remember the emperor's instructions." Yinzhi hurriedly bowed.
Three decrees issued by Zhenwu were spread throughout the capital in less than half a day. Several ministers of the six ministries couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. No one expected that Zhenwu would seize control of the six ministries in such a gentle way. The ministers of the six ministries were basically unmoved except that Man Shangshan, the Ministry of Justice, was dismissed from office.
This result is extremely inconsistent with Zhenwu's style of conduct. The officials who had just started the government office had nothing to do. They immediately started to discuss in groups of three or five, and they all guessed whether Zhenwu would make a major adjustment to the second-rank officials of the Sixth Ministry next? Or would he stop the sixth Ministry and transfer the target to the officials of various courts, temples, supervisors and governments?
Just as the officials were uneasy and speculating randomly, Zhenwu issued another edict: Heli, the deputy commander of the Mongolian in the Yellow Banner, was transferred to the Manchus of the Banner. Deleshen, was promoted to the Deputy Commander of the Guardians, and was the Deputy Commander of the Mongolian in the Yellow Banner. Piantu, the Deputy Commander of the Mongolian in the Blue Banner, was promoted to the Deputy Commander of the Blue Banner, and was promoted to the Deputy Commander of the Red Banner. He Ketun, was promoted to the Deputy Commander of the Blue Banner, and Musen, the Deputy Commander of the Blue Banner, and was promoted to the Deputy Commander of the Yellow Banner. He was promoted to the Mongolian in the Yellow Banner. He was promoted to the Frontier Commander of the Win Pu, and was the Deputy Commander of the Mongolian in the White Banner. He was promoted to the E Dynasty, and was the Chief of the Mongolian in the Red Banner.
As soon as this imperial edict was issued, all the officials in the capital were energetic. It seemed that Zhenwu was preparing to be in place on the first day of the year. After adjusting the generals, it was naturally the civil servants' turn. If you had a good understanding, the second-rank officers in the various departments and institutes of the capital should be adjusted.
A group of second-rank officials waited for the retreating yamen with fear, but no more decrees were heard. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that the adjustments to the second-rank officials of various departments and courts and the third-rank officials of various temples, supervisors and governments will be put until tomorrow.
However, it is surprising that the second and third days, Zhenwu did not make any movement, and no personnel adjustments were made. This caused a group of second- and third-rank officials torture, and they were not interested in handling official duties. They were eager to wait for the imperial edict every day, but for several consecutive days, Zhenwu did not make any movement, and the officials were also very confused. Is this still adjusting? Instead of being worried all day long, it would be better to have a happy time.
On the second day of the second month, Zhenwu Emperor set off for Tianjin.
The entire capital officials breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that in a short period of time, Zhenwu would not make personnel adjustments. He was relieved. However, the officials were very confused and could not figure out what the Zhenwu was selling. Could it be that just adjusting it like this and it would be over? What kind of emperor and minister is this?
What is even more puzzling is that Zhenwu was promoted and replaced by so many military generals, and the Thirteenth Prince General Commander cleaned up the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing. Logically, he should be in charge of the capital at this time, so why did he choose to go to Tianjin at this time? (To be continued) q!~!
