Chapter 2776 Gui Zi Juan is a success, strategizing
Auspicious things appear.
Within three days, white tigers (albino Siberian tigers), white bears (Kuru is the polar bear on Sakhalin Island), phoenixes (red-bellied golden pheasants), and unicorns (giraffes) appeared on the streets of the capital city, making the people of the capital city shocked and joyful, cheering for the prosperous times. coming soon.
Feng Ziying didn't expect that the appearance of this auspicious beast would cooperate with the public opinion of "Today's News", and hundreds of people from the previous clan of the Zhang family would cheer for the replacement of the old and the new outside the Meridian Gate. Destiny would have such momentum and effect. , causing the entire capital city and even the Gyeonggi region to boil.
Of course, for Feng Ziying, he values the above lists from local officials more.
There were no too shocking surprises. Reports from the three divisions of the northern and southern provinces and even the prefectures and prefectures were flying towards Beijing like snowflakes, and newspapers from all over the country were also celebrating the establishment of the new dynasty.
The country's name is Hua, and the year's name is Daguan.
Originally, this Daguan era name was also used by someone, but for Feng Ziying, the word "Daguan" was too complex, so he couldn't care so much. He hoped that this Daguan era name would be useful for thirty to fifty years at best, and at worst. It should also be like the Yuanxi reign name of the previous dynasty, which lasted forty-two years.
I also took great pains to choose a country name. Qi and Jin were both included in the options, but they were rejected because they existed in the previous dynasty and were not so auspicious.
Qi is because Feng Ziying is originally from Shandong, Qilu can be used as a reference to Shandong, and Jin is because the Feng family prospered in Datong, northern Shanxi, so Jin can also be used, but considering Huang Chao's Da Qi and Sima's Eastern and Western Jin, it seems that both It's a bit like a short-lived dynasty, so in the end it was Feng Ziying who made up her mind to choose Huawei's national title.
Because the Han people are actually from China, and in ancient proverbs, Hua means Xia, and they are interchangeable. However, there is only the Daxia Dynasty in the official history, and there is no Dahua Dynasty, so he, a time traveler, has been arrogant and presumptuous. By the way, the entire Chinese nation is also included.
When the Hua Dynasty was first established, it was natural to have a grand celebration.
So during the Little Summer and Great Summer periods, holding celebration lantern festivals has become the best way to entertain the people.
But all this requires a new cabinet and the eight-ministerial procuratorate to undertake it.
When the auspicious signs and auspicious signs from various places reflected each other in the following days, Feng Ziying had realized that the establishment of the new dynasty was a natural story.
Some scholars were still stubbornly resisting there, but when public opinion arose, auspicious signs appeared, and people from all over the country supported them. Businessmen even went to various places to build momentum to celebrate the new dynasty. These people were not stupid, and they immediately realized that the situation was over. Except for a very small number of people, most have expressed their wishes to the DPRK through various channels.
The founding ceremony of the new dynasty was officially held on the first day of June, when the whole world celebrated and a general amnesty was granted.
After repeated consideration, Feng Ziying finally chose Cui Jingrong as his first assistant.
Firstly, Cui Jingrong is the leader of the northern scholars, and he has an upright and peaceful personality, and is good at uniting all parties. Secondly, Cui Jingrong is not too young. After one term as the first assistant, it is almost time to hand over the baton, and then he can just practice state affairs. Consider taking over.
According to Feng Ziying's idea, Lian Guoshi will take over in the eighth year of Daguan at the latest. If Cui Jingrong works smoothly and is in good health, then he can consider working for two more years to lead the area. The second cabinet can consider letting Lian Guoshi take over. Supplementary, it can be regarded as a learning exercise and adaptation.
The second auxiliary choice was Chai Ke.
Firstly, Chai Ke had always had a close relationship with Feng Ziying, and secondly, Huguang scholars were also a relatively united group of scholars who took the initiative to show their sincerity to themselves. At the same time, Chai Ke was also more aware of the overall situation.
Compared to the antagonism and division among the scholars in the north and the fragmentation of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, the scholars in Huguang were more united and united.
Qunfu, that is, other cabinet ministers, chose Xu Guangqi to practice state affairs.
In fact, it is equivalent to adding one more person, that is, practicing state affairs and joining the cabinet.
In fact, four cabinet ministers are not suitable. According to Feng Ziying's plan, there should be five. However, considering the establishment of the Privy Council in the future, Wu Ren will serve as the Privy Council envoy, and the Privy Council envoy will serve as a cabinet minister in the cabinet. Likewise, It is also subject to the restrictions of the first assistant, so a quota has been reserved.
This is also a compromise plan reached by Feng Ziying after several discussions with Cui Jingrong, Chai Ke, Xu Guangqi, Lian Guoshi and his father.
It is necessary to stabilize the mood of the warriors and give them a guarantee of explanation, which can be regarded as one's own basic plan. It is also necessary to balance the attitudes of the civil servants and how to restrain the warriors. Then both sides need to make concessions.
Arranging a military man to join the cabinet is already a great gift for the military man. This was a good thing that had never been thought of before.
Of course, there is one thing that the military people may have overlooked, that is, the military people serve as privy envoys and join the cabinet as group assistants, but they still have to obey the unified dispatch of the cabinet. This is equivalent to putting a halter on the military people.
But no matter what, in the eyes of the warriors, this is already a huge progress that they have striven for, and they are gratifying.
You Shigong and Cao Wenzhao, as well as Mao Wenlong and Liu Dongyang are among the candidates.
In comparison, Mao Wenlong and Liu Dongyang were a little less competitive. Mao Wenlong had just become the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and his prestige in the army was still insufficient. Although Liu Dongyang was capable of fighting, his experience in the Ningxia rebellion made the civil servants extremely jealous. Resistance, so even if Feng Ziying doesn't care about this, it is still a shortcoming. You Shigong and Cao Wenzhao are really evenly matched.
One was recommended by Feng Tang when he was in Yulin, and the other was brought out by Feng Tang from Datong. In terms of qualifications, military exploits, and prestige, the two of them were comparable. Because of this, Feng Ziying felt a headache.
Fortunately, there is another choice before us, that is, whoever becomes the Privy Councilor, then another person can become the commander-in-chief of the army in the war against Mongolia.
This is also a very attractive position, and it can even go down in history. Compared with being the Privy Councilor, it is no less generous. You must know that as long as the battle against Mongolia is successful, the coach will sooner or later have to arrange a Privy Councilor position when he returns. It's nothing more than that the title of the first Privy Councilor of the Great China Dynasty seems a bit unique. After all, he is the first one.
Regarding the choice of these two positions, it is estimated that both You Shigong and Cao Wenzhao are actually more inclined to choose to be the commanders of the Mongolian army. For warriors, fighting is the most tempting, but serving as an official is not so is attractive.
It’s just that the position of Privy Councilor basically represents the pinnacle of a military man, and he also needs to fight for the interests of the army. This position does not allow civilians to interfere.
The imperial censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate chose Yang Lian, which was considered a popular choice.
Yang Lian has a strong temper, and even Han Xu can't suppress him. Feng Ziying thinks that it is extremely rare for him to reach an agreement with Chai Ke and others and take the initiative to surrender to the new dynasty, so he must be rewarded. .
Cao Yubian, the former minister of Dali Temple, was appointed as the censor of Youdu. He was also the first Northern literati to lose his faith, and he had a bad relationship with Han Xu and Sun Juxiang. This was one of the main reasons why Feng Ziying asked him to serve as the censor of Youdu. .
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was appointed by Wang Yongguang.
This is also a compromise.
Wang Yongguang is considered a relatively neutral figure among the scholars in the North, but he has a high degree of acceptance of the examination method. He believes that local performance evaluation should be reformed long ago, and there should be a more reasonable method for measuring the performance of local officials. The outline of the strategy is in line with the original intention of the examination.
The Minister of Hubu chose Bi Ziyan.
This also shocked the entire government and opposition parties.
From the right minister of the Ministry of Commerce to the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, such a huge promotion is difficult for many people to understand. Even though Bi Ziyan is a native of Shandong Province, this is the position of the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and he must not be an absolute confidant. , a mere villager cannot explain it.
Of course, various rumors came out later. For example, when the scholars in the North were divided, Bi Ziyan supported Feng Ziying and was the first to express his attitude. Therefore, he won the approval of His Majesty the Emperor. But in fact, it was Bi Ziyan who Feng Ziying remembered in his previous life. Yan was a well-known financial expert in the late Ming Dynasty. It was all thanks to his financial planning in the early years of Chongzhen that Emperor Chongzhen managed to survive in the years after he succeeded to the throne.
The current financial situation of the new dynasty is certainly different from that of the previous Ming Dynasty, but when facing a war with Mongolia, a person who is good at financial planning is also needed to make overall arrangements, so Feng Ziying overcame all opinions and promoted Bi Ziyan. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Feng Ziying, the Minister of Rites, selected Zhang Nai.
That is, the Songjiang scholar who served as Zuo Buzheng envoy in Shaanxi to succeed Feng Ziying, and later returned to Beijing to serve as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.
Songjiang scholars made great efforts in the establishment of the new dynasty, and their attitude was particularly determined. In addition, Songjiang will increasingly become the center of economic development in the north and south in the future, so it is necessary to give all scholars an encouragement, or a demonstration effect. .
In addition, Zhang Nai is relatively pragmatic. Although he is a veteran scholar, he is not so repulsive to "side theories" such as studying things and financial planning. He even has friendships with people such as Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao, so letting him serve as the Minister of Rites is considered to be the best choice. use.
The Minister of War is still Sun Chengzong, no change, but Yuan Keli replaced Xiong Tingbi as Zuo Shilang.
Since Feng Ziying is not willing to contribute to the new dynasty, and Feng Ziying has not spoiled Xiong Tingbi, she should go home and recuperate, think about it carefully, and then talk about being an official.
The Minister of Punishment was appointed by Zuo Guangdou.
Zuo Guangdou has an upright character and hates evil. However, during the establishment of the new dynasty, he also showed a more rational side and expressed his support with reservations.
It is not easy to do this. Considering his integrity as a soldier, this can be regarded as a compromise.
There is no suspense about Li Zhizao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Even though Li Zhizao believes in Western religion, he clearly supports the New Dynasty. Secondly, this person is indeed quite accomplished in the study of objects. He also strongly supports learning the techniques of studying objects from the Western Yi and organizes translations. Books like this from Western Yi.
The Minister of Commerce was appointed by Jia Hua, which was a reward for this guy who finally stood in the right camp at a critical moment.
Pan Ruzhen was appointed as the Minister of Agriculture, which was also a reward for his direct lineage.
There is no suspense about Fu Shi becoming the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture.
