Chapter 1107: Adding an official to the rank
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were firm and his voice was like a bell.
The emperor made a decision with one word. In theory, he said there was, but there was indeed.
Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh. His Majesty said that there was light, so there was light. It was indeed worthy of being the son of heaven. I admire it, admire it.
Zhang Sheng and Ma Wensheng were silent.
This time, Your Majesty has changed a lot.
However, Emperor Hongzhi did not give in at all. Indeed, this was impossible in the past.
Emperor Hongzhi was a gentle man in the past.
He read the Four Books and Five Classics and was determined to be a saint and a benevolent king.
At that time, he had very little understanding of Emperor Taizu Gao.
The Ming Dynasty has already won the world immediately, and the world is in vain. Why is Emperor Taizu Gao still so "brutally" that all officials are in danger?
But now... he has a little understanding.
Some things cannot be compromised. When you are shaken a little, there will be countless people by your side. I hope you will continue to retreat until you can't do anything and will be restricted.
Emperor Hongzhi thought of Chang Cheng and Zhao Shiqian.
If you cannot stand firm, how can you let them live and work in peace?
They are their own people, they... are their own foundation and the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Hongzhi calmly said word by word: "Baoding Prefecture and Tongzhou combine two into one, and Baoding governor Ouyang Zhi is temporarily established, and the rest of the people are selected. The Ministry of Personnel carefully selects. The selected officials must be selected from the officials in Baoding Prefecture. The court will not temporarily select officials to be appointed as the Baoding Administrator's Office."
This Baoding Administrative Office is obviously only a temporary organization, because in the future... it may be expanded.
Once Baoding is established as the General Administration and Envoy, then... it will no longer be under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhili. In this way, Ouyang Zhi will not only be promoted, but also almost completely ignore Northern Zhili, and have greater space.
To this day, all the officials have been selected from Baoding Prefecture. Next, I think countless officials from Baoding Prefecture will rise to the top.
At least at this moment, Liang Min, the magistrate of Rongcheng County, moved his mind and burst into tears.
Maybe... I'm going to be promoted again. Next, at least I'll be a magistrate, or even a magistrate, may not be sure to go directly to the magistrate?
I am just a small official, but by chance, I completed the small official, official official, county magistrate, and then a leap forward with a brighter future.
This is something I can't imagine at all.
Following Ouyang Envoy, no, now it is Ouyang Gong, it is really nourishing. Being able to be a pawn for him, even if he is a cow or a horse, or even a dog, is it the blessing of his ancestors who have accumulated virtue.
Emperor Hongzhi then said: "The food should be eaten one bite at a time, and the same is true for the new policy. First, incorporate Tongzhou into the Baoding Administration Commissioner. I don't have to worry, so I can take it slowly, but... the new policy must be continued. This is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, and it is related to the welfare of thousands of people. Ouyang Qing's family... don't let me down."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ouyang Zhi.
Such a rapid promotion is rare. Emperor Hongzhi could almost see that everyone in Rongcheng County was so excited that he could not do it himself, but... Ouyang Zhi was calm, as if... Emperor Hongzhi was not granted an official, but... he was having sex with him.
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Zhi said: "I... obey the order!"
call……
Emperor Hongzhi really admires Ouyang Zhi and is not surprised by his favor and disgrace. How many people in the world can do this?
Fang Jifan really taught a good disciple.
Emperor Hongzhi immediately glanced at Fang Jifan.
"Jifan."
"I am here." Fang Jifan said hurriedly.
"What do you think?"
Fang Jifan said: "After all, Ouyang Zhi is still young, and Your Majesty has entrusted him with important responsibilities. Your Majesty is so trustworthy, and there is nothing to say. In the future, you must educate this disciple well. You must do your best to share your worries. You must not be complacent or complacent about this. You must be like a son, and do not take fame and fortune to your heart."
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows.
He couldn't help but say, "Oh, I'm going to give you an official position. If you don't care about fame and fortune, that's fine. If you lose one official and the court's salary, it's also considered frugal."
Fang Jifan: "..."
Your Majesty has changed, it’s too bad. What does this mean? We, Jiefan, can’t say that we regard fame and fortune as clouds, right?
Fang Jifan coughed: "Your Majesty, if the country and the people need their sons, your Majesty also needs their sons to serve. Although they are lazy people and have no intention of fame, if it can benefit the country and share your worries, even if they go through fire and water, they will not refuse."
When Emperor Hongzhi saw Fang Jifan's serious expression, he was somewhat prepared to go to hell.
He shook his head and said, "The new policy is a national policy, which is beneficial to the country and the people. The six ministries of the court governors and envoys. According to my opinion, I am afraid that the ministries do not know much about the new policy and have some shortcomings. I want to set up a new policy department above the Baoding General Secretary. This new policy department is equivalent to the six ministries and nine ministers. If the new policy needs to be implemented, it will be necessary to build roads. If the road is built, money and grain loans will be included in the scope of supervision. There are also schools in the new policy and officials selected. In short, take charge of the affairs of the new policy department. All the big and small matters of the new policy department will be reported to me directly, for the time being... there is no need to go through the cabinet and the six ministries."
"Ah..." Fang Jifan didn't know whether to be surprised or happy, but subconsciously, Fang Jifan wanted to show his sad face, as if this was not the grace of His Majesty, but the need of the country, and Fang Jifan reluctantly tried to do so.
But after all, he did not have Ouyang Zhi's cultivation, so he subconsciously... burst into laughter: "Ah... Your Majesty... I thank you for your kindness."
The New Deal Department has a status comparable to that of the six ministries and nine ministers, and is responsible for all the affairs of the New Deal.
This is a sign of the imperial court's destruction of the old and new establishment.
Emperor Hongzhi obviously wanted to break through the previous constraints and give the most powerful support to the new policy.
What does this mean?
It means...in the future, with the help of the New Policy Department, Fang Jifan can make countless new attempts, do whatever he wants, for example...for example...in his academy, there are thousands of students, and these disciples, and in the future...there are new ways out.
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan: "I want to laugh but I dare not laugh. I want to show off my uncomfortable look, but I can't show it..."
Shake your head, it's too tender, learn to learn from your disciples.
"Just..." Fang Jifan suddenly said: "But my son thinks it is inappropriate for me to take charge of the new policy."
"Hmm?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.
He never expected that Fang Jifan would refuse.
This guy... he looked like he was about to celebrate the Chinese New Year just now.
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is shallow, but you can recommend one person. Your Majesty will definitely be satisfied."
"Your family said that."
Fang Jifan blurted out: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan: "What, are you afraid?"
"No." Fang Jifan shook his head desperately.
"I'm not afraid, why don't I dare to take on such a great responsibility?" Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Are you still afraid of a high-ranking minister?"
Fang Jifan: "..."
Fang Jifan actually wanted to tell him that this was because he... was lazy. He could be an official and a salary, but he was in charge... so tired.
Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "You are the most powerful minister, can you still be Wang Mang?"
Fang Jifan: "No, my son's loyalty to Your Majesty is a testament to the sky!"
Emperor Hongzhi held his hands behind his back: "I believe that if you want to be Wang Mang, then you will know how to be well-educated and praise the court and the people..."
Another meaning of this is that even if I don’t believe in your loyalty, do you want to be Wang Mang, are you worthy?
Before Wang Mang usurped the throne, he was also a gentleman praised by the world. In the eyes of people at that time, only ancient saints could compare Wang Mang's merits.
On the other hand, you Fang Jifan...
Fang Jifan felt that he had been deeply insulted.
"Okay, do it well." Emperor Hongzhi said: "The prince is not a good-nature. I am really worried when I ask him to preside over the new policy. To be honest, I am not in the capital these days and ordered him to supervise the country. I still can't rest assured..."
"I... should go back to the palace." Emperor Hongzhi said, feeling worried. Nothing happened to his son.
I hope not, after all... I have only been on tour for a few days. Can he... still make a big difference?
The reason why Emperor Hongzhi was worried was that even if he went on a tour, he would report any movement in the capital. It was a pity that he had visited privately and temporarily lost contact with the court. He disappeared for several days and was really a little relieved.
"Tomorrow... I will be on my way back to the palace!"
"Your Majesty, I want to go back first." Fang Jifan said hesitantly: "My son... I have been away from home for many days, and I miss His Highness the Princess very much."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I am also thinking of Empress Zhang, but... you are young after all, and you can't hold back. Since that's the case, you can go back first."
Fang Jifan was as if he had received a general amnesty, but at this moment, he was about to return home.
I miss Princess Taikang.
But Fang Jifan is even more obsessed with the prince.
I have to go back and see what he is doing. If there is anything, I can inform him first. Otherwise, God knows... something will happen, and I am guilty. I hope this is just thinking about it myself. In just a few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not cause any trouble, nor will he involve himself.
Although he kept numbing himself, Fang Jifan received the promise from Emperor Hongzhi and did not wait. He said something privately to Ouyang Zhi. However, under Ouyang Zhi's resentful eyes, he got on the carriage and ordered the groom to say, "Hurry up and whip, you must arrive in the capital before sunset!"
The carriage had already boarded the asphalt road, and without hesitation, it began to gallop.
And at this time... a quick report from the capital fell into the hands of Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned when he looked at the news.
He took a deep breath: "Parent Xiao, come on."
Xiao Jing was unaware of it and stepped forward: "Your Majesty... what are the instructions?"
Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes and picked up the express: "You read it again, I'm afraid I'll... read it wrong!"
