Chapter 473 Civilian Leaders
The establishment of the Grand Secretary of the State Dynasty has always been the pattern of "four halls and two pavilions" in the Ming Dynasty, respectively, in the Nanshufang, which was in charge of military and political affairs, and in the Military Affairs Office. However, with the changes of time, the status and responsibilities of the Military Affairs Office and the Nanshufang have been changing. The Grand Secretary was not always full (six). In the case of the Yongzhi Dynasty, there are only four Grand Secretarys left now, and they are in charge of the full power of the ** government.
The status of the Grand Secretary is: the Grand Secretary of Zhongji Hall, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Hall, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Hall, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Grand Secretary of Dong Pavilion.
He Shuo, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace, ranked second among the ministers in the court, was the leader of civil servants. He was from Xintai County, Shandong Province. His name was Gao Yuan. He was 61 years old at the time of "healthy and strong". He was a powerful politician.
When Jia Huan arrived at He Mansion in Xiaoyongfang, there were traffic at the gate of He Mansion. There were many visitors. In terms of value, it was much higher than in front of Jia Mansion. Jia Huan handed the post to the door officer to explain his purpose, "This old man invited him. I want to see He Xiang, so I personally give him a wedding invitation."
Jia Huan is considered a celebrity in the capital. But at this moment, he was wearing casual clothes and a scholarly outfit, which did not attract the attention of everyone waiting in front of He's house. However, the official of He's house knew about Jia Huan, so he took the post and said, "Jia Tanhua, wait for a moment, my master is meeting guests."
As he said that, he led Jia Huan to the doorman to wait and report. After a while, He Shuo's second son came to talk to Jia Huan.
It was afternoon, and the study was quiet and elegant. The fragrance of flowers in the courtyard was swaying.
He Shuo was talking to the visiting strongman Zuo Shaoqing Liang Xi. He did not do business in the Daming Palace today, so he returned home early to rest.
Liang Xilai reported to Mr. He about the punishment results of the sensational fraud case that had been sensational in the past some time. The emperor personally decided and convicted the main officials, but some small shrimps were required to deal with the three courts. Tomorrow, the memorial for this case will be reported to the Military Affairs Office.
Liang Xi persuaded: "He Xiang, Mei Hege is the academic of Grand Secretary Xie. After this fraud case, it may not be without Grand Secretary Xie's instructions. Zhao Xingchen's testimony can be obtained."
Liang Xi means that through Mei Hanlin’s affairs, he will be involved in Grand Secretary Xie. His son can cheat his father, and his studies can also cheat his teachers! The conflict between Grand Secretary He and Grand Secretary Xie is already somewhat obvious. As an official in Grand Secretary He’s department, he certainly wants to remove his opponent.
He Shuo was in his early sixties and tall, and waved his hand with a smile and said, "What is the result of Mei Hege?"
Liang Xi sighed helplessly and said concisely: "Demolish a small official in the Hami Guard." This punishment is quite heavy. The frontier is poor and cold. The court has the intention of conquering the Western Regions, and the Hami Guard will be the front line.
He Shuo nodded and took a sip of the tea soup to relieve heat.
This is not the first time Jia Huan has come to He’s mansion. He has been led by the mountain chief Zhang Anbo. Every year during the Chinese New Year, he would come to pay New Year’s greetings. Of course, it is normal that he will not be received. The prime minister’s family is not a minor matter.
Jia Huan chatted with He Shuo's second son for a while, delivered his own wedding invitation, and prepared to say goodbye.
He wanted to remind Grand Secretary He, but he could not see anyone. It is definitely unreliable to repost. He could only believe that every prime minister who can achieve such a position is not a mediocre person.
Just as he was about to leave, he sent someone to He Shuo to meet him in his study.
In the elegant and exquisite study, an old man in his early sixties was wearing a light gray casual dress and was sitting in a chair under the window drinking tea, with a calm expression. This was Grand Secretary He, the leader of the civil servants of the State Administration.
Grand Secretary He smiled and said, "I didn't plan to see Ziyu. I heard that Ziyu came to invite me to your wedding. It would be unreasonable if I didn't see you. At that time, I will send you and attend."
He did not need Jia Huan's gratitude to protect Jia Huan. He selected materials for the country. However, Jia Huan came to invite him to attend his wedding, and his close attitude made him feel very comfortable. Therefore, he decided to meet Jia Huan for a moment.
And is the word "He Ershou" on the surface.
This is what Jia Huanxian said, even the big guy in the temple speaks very thoroughly, because he does not have an equal status. The big guys do not need to worry about his opinion and mood. He bowed and said, "I thanked Senior He for learning."
He was born in Hanyuan, and Jia Huan called himself a junior, so he could study. Calling his senior is even more intimate. Of course, seniors and juniors are all titles among scholars.
Grand Secretary He nodded and praised: "Well, your manuscript to the servants in your mansion is very good. If you see the big ones from the small, the position of a minister in the future will be just a casual time for you." He had a high evaluation of Jia Huan.
For the same manuscript, some people read the dispute between classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese, while others read the talent for governing the country.
Grand Secretary He encouraged him again: "I heard that you have been studying with Fang Wangxi recently. Young people should be calm and sit on the bench. Li Dongyang, a young man, was successful in his youth, but he was silent in Hanyuan for more than ten years, but he was in charge of the country for 18 years. The Qing Dynasty was unswerving, and the world admired him. Posthumously posthumously: Wen Zheng."
In China's history, since the posthumous title was confirmed, the posthumous posthumous title "Wenzheng" was the most important commendation of the historical achievements of civil officials by people at that time, and it was finalized. This is the same as the attribution of the official media's obituary when the leader passed away in the 21st century. This is the most frozen term.
There are very few famous officials with the posthumous title of "Wen Zheng". For example: Duke Fan Wenzheng (Fan Zhongyan) and Duke Zeng Wenzheng (Zeng Guofan).
Jia Huan smiled bitterly in his heart: Li Dongyang is another child prodigy, the template for "powerful minister". He is really a little shirkable to give people such praise now.
The big reason why he suppressed Emperor Yongzhi was because there were such great people in front of him who were setting examples and templates. For example: Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, and Zhang Juzheng.
Jia Huan bowed and thanked him, "Study and me." He also reminded him, "He is the hope of the scholars and the people should take care of him. I have heard of the fishing method, and I hope that the seniors should be careful." Mr. He is the leader of the civil service group. It is not a false statement to say that he is the hope of the scholars and the people.
Jia Huan's words were actually not very decent and a bit rash. However, he expressed his worries and reminder meaning.
Grand Secretary He glanced at Jia Huan, smiled slightly, and took a sip of tea.
Jia Huan took the opportunity to say goodbye and left He Mansion, and was in the hot streets. At around 3:00 p.m. in the midsummer, Jia Huan looked back at the prosperous scene and sighed in his heart.
He has figured out one thing in the past few days: Emperor Yongzhi wanted to let Zheng Dad serve as the provincial government, there was a great probability that he would be fishing.
Needless to say, the civil servant group will definitely collectively oppose this appointment. No one will tolerate an official from a noble family and hold a position like a grandmaster in a province. How can a scholar be appointed as a scholar if he has never even passed the imperial examination? Isn’t this funny?
This is a rough and open trampling on the rules of the imperial examination. It is a kind of contempt for officials from the imperial examination and a strong suppression of their sense of superiority.
Then, the power of the civil servant group will be exposed to the emperor. A few years later, with today's skills, the civil servant group will probably be cleaned up and swept the so-called political concepts of the civil servant group into the garbage dump.
Officials who are not from the imperial examinations belong to the civil servant political group. For example, after the political situation in the Qing Dynasty, the same imperial examinations were selected, so why did not form a civil servant group? There was no such concept in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.
The fundamental thing is to recognize the concept of civil servant politics: the literati and the emperor share the world! Of course, civil servant politics in the state is still in its infancy, and the concept should be weaker: civil servants are the country, and the rise and fall of dynasties cannot be attributed to the emperor alone.
As a member of the civil service group, Jia Huan certainly hopes that this group will continue to exist. However, he didn't know whether Grand Secretary He listened to it. If not, he would be sad for the next few years.
Moreover, if Grand Secretary He loses power in the struggle, he will also fully consider the potential risks of this element when leading the Jia family in political games.
When Jia Huan came out of He's mansion, the great scholar Fu Bolong was in the East Palace and was preaching to the prince. The topic was the manuscript that Jia Huan recently triggered public opinion in the capital.
