Chapter 184 The emperor curses his mother

Although Sun Jiagan was a traditional literati, he was not a pedantic person. Otherwise, after the Ming army took over Beijing, Zhu Yicheng would not have specially appointed Sun Jiagan as the prefect of Shuntian, and handed over all the northern civil affairs to him.

You should know that the prefect of Shuntian is a senior official of the third rank. In terms of rank, he is only two levels away from the six ministers of the ministers, and he is able to take charge of Shuntian Palace. This position can only be held by the emperor as his most trusted minister.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty had not yet returned the capital, and Sun Jiagan had the final say in the civil affairs of Shuntian Prefecture and even the entire Northern Zhili. At the same time, he had the right to mobilize the Beijing Jinyiwei and Weirong troops. It can be said that Sun Jiagan's actual position at that time was equivalent to Shuntian Prefecture and half of the governor of Zhili.

It was precisely because Sun Jiagan did a great job in the north that he made great contributions to all those who had been after the Ming Dynasty. After that, Zhu Yicheng promoted his position to a higher level, from the third rank to the second rank, and at the same time, he was asked to walk in the Military Affairs Office.

Everyone knows what happened next. When the Military Affairs Office changed its term, Sun Jiagan officially entered the Military Affairs Office and became the Minister of Military Affairs.

Although Sun Jiagan is only a second-rank official, he is actually the top civil servant among civil servants.

According to previous examples of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers of each department were second-rank officials, and these were in charge of real power. However, the cabinets of the previous Ming Dynasty were often equipped with high and low ranks due to some factors. The cabinets of the cabinets were from third and fourth ranks, and it was not surprising that some even entered the cabinet at fifth ranks.

Of course, as these cabinet masters have been working in the cabinet for a long time, their promotion will gradually improve. Looking at the previous Ming Dynasty cabinet, there were very few cabinet masters who really retired at a low level. Often, many cabinet masters will gradually improve after experiencing the transition from high vocational and low-level allocation in the beginning, and even countless people will serve as a minister.

So from these situations, the Ming Dynasty has always had such a convention that civil officials with real power are second-ranks, and those with first-rank or first-ranks are given titles, or the glory given by the emperor when he retires.

As for the military generals, they were much more relaxed, because the military generals were different from civil officials. Moreover, after the Tumubao Incident in the Ming Dynasty, there was a trend of noble and humble martial arts. In the late Ming Dynasty, the first-rank generals had to respect their ranks of the sixth-rank chief officials, and there were no ones who could enter the cabinet.

This rule was completely changed by Zhu Yicheng. After Zhu Yicheng restored the Ming Dynasty, he abolished the cabinet and changed it to the Military Affairs Office.

Moreover, although Zhu Yicheng followed many official systems of the Ming Dynasty, he actually made many adjustments to the official structure of the Ming Dynasty, especially the strategies of abolishing the four people, developing industry and commerce, developing overseas development, and focusing on both civil and military affairs in the Korean Empire, which made the Ming Dynasty's officialdom look brand new.

Of course, although there have been many changes, this feature remains as a glory and gift for the appointment of officials from first-rank and first-rank. Therefore, the actual rank of the ministers of various departments of the Ming Dynasty is the second-level civil servants.

The military generals are not included, not to mention that Zhu Yicheng has now implemented the military rank system to replace the previous military general rank, which is also to avoid conflicts between civil and military. In addition, the establishment of the Military Affairs Office has also broken the previous convention of only civil officials but no military generals in the cabinet.

Of course, these only talk about the ranks of the original and the additional officials, and the title is not included. If it is a title, the baron with the lowest level of fifth grade is equivalent to a first-rank official.

But this is just equivalent to, and it is actually innumerable. The rank of real officials must not be judged by titles, otherwise wouldn’t the entire court be in chaos?

Faced with the immigration of Liaodong, Sun Jiagan was also a decisive person. After confirming that the navy could not meet the transportation, he directly contacted various merchants and soon reached an agreement with these merchants in the name of the court, and the merchant ships of various merchants would complete the transportation task to Liaodong for the court.

It has to be admitted that the efficiency and transportation capacity of the merchant bank are indeed strong. Just a few days later, as the first batch of materials transported by the merchant bank set off from Tianjin and arrived in northern North Korea, the immigration situation in Liaodong, which has been affected by insufficient materials, improved greatly.

At this time, Sun Jiagan was relieved. At least this tricky matter was finally solved, and he could also give Zhu Yicheng and the court an explanation.

But who would have thought that there is no airtight wall in the world. Originally, Sun Jiagan was worried that Shi Yizhi would misunderstand and even prevent him from doing this, so when he made this decision, he did not tell Shi Yizhi, but just planned to wait until the matter was over before finding an opportunity to explain in detail with Shi Yizhi to gain his understanding.

But unexpectedly, not long after, Shi Yizhi knew about this. When he heard that Sun Jiagan had ignored his objections, he bypassed him and directly contacted major trading banks for transportation, Shi Yizhi was immediately exploded and went to Sun Jiagan's mansion that day, and asked Sun Jiagan why he did this.

Outsiders don’t know how Shi Yizhi and Sun Jiagan talked about it, because they met in Sun Jiagan’s study that day, but according to the news from the Sun family, the two big men who had a good relationship before and could even be called friends had a fierce quarrel, and they almost even started.

In the end, Shi Yizhi left the Sun Mansion with a dark face, and Sun Jiagan also looked like frost after he came out of the study.

Since that day, the atmosphere in the Military Affairs Office has become strange. Shi Yizhi and Sun Jiagan, who were originally standing in a camp, began to confront each other. The two of them no longer had the previous mutual appreciation, but instead did not blend with each other like water and fire.

Especially when discussing some political affairs, these two people would even quarrel in front of everyone. If Jiang Jin and others had not persuaded each other, I would probably not only quarrel in the military service office, but also would have to perform the full martial arts movement in a few times.

Shi Sun was dissatisfied, and the matter gradually spread from the Military Affairs Office. Not long after, not only did the court know about it, but even Zhu Yicheng heard about it. Just when Zhu Yi became dissatisfied with the conflict within the Military Affairs Office and was thinking about such a solution, something unexpected happened.

On this day, Zhu Yicheng looked at the memorial sent by Shi Yizhi into the Da Nei. After a few glances at him, his expression was stunned, and then an uncontrollable anger appeared on his face.

With a bang, the memorial was thrown directly to the ground by Zhu Yicheng. The crisp sound seemed particularly harsh in the quiet side hall.

Xiao Jiangzi, who was waiting outside, couldn't help but shrink his neck and felt uneasy. He didn't know why Zhu Yicheng was so angry about it. However, without Zhu Yicheng's instructions, he didn't dare to go in. He could only pretend that he didn't hear anything and still stood outside the door.

The reason why Zhu Yicheng was angry was because Shi Yizhi submitted him a memorial to retire, which stated that he was not worthy of virtue and lacked ability. He was willing to resign as the chief military minister and return home.

Seeing this, Zhu Yicheng was so angry that he was so angry that he didn't expect Shi Yizhi to do such a trick. What was his intention to bring such a thing?

You should know that Shi Yizhi was the chief military minister appointed by Zhu Yicheng. Now Shi Yizhi has been in the chief position for less than half a year and has proposed to resign. This is not only a matter for Shi Yizhi, but also a major event for him as an emperor and the entire court.

If we follow the words written in his memorial, can we say that the emperor chose Shi Yizhi as the chief military minister was not aware of people? He used people incorrectly?

Zhu Yicheng has always been a saint in the eyes of the world. He revived the Ming Dynasty, expelled the Qing Dynasty, and promoted the peace of the world in China. At the same time, he also opened up overseas, occupied places such as Xinming, Luzon, Johor, and other places, and directly annexed Ryukyu and North Korea. His achievements can be said to be far superior to those of previous dynasties, and even Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly inferior to those of him.

In addition, Zhu Yicheng and Daqin business have made the Ming Dynasty rich in treasury and strong military strength. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty is in a prosperous era, and if nothing unexpected happens, such a prosperous era will last at least a hundred years of rising period.

Even after Zhu Yicheng's death, as long as his descendants are not idiots and the class structure and military and political system he built can continue, at least in the later modern times, with the huge size of the Ming Dynasty, it will still be one of the most powerful countries on the earth.

In this case, Shi Yizhi's resignation like this is equivalent to embarrassing Zhu Yicheng in front of the world. Once he leaves the Military Affairs Office like this, wouldn't Zhu Yicheng have a reputation of not knowing people and using improperly?

Although Zhu Yicheng was disappointed with Shi Yizhi's ability in the past few months after Shi Yizhi sat in the position of chief military aircraft, he had never tried the idea of ​​letting him leave the Military Affairs Office at this time.

In Zhu Yicheng's view, Shi Yizhi had any problems of this and that. After all, he had been in the Military Affairs Office for so many years and was familiar with military and political affairs. He was the most suitable transitional candidate. Moreover, his term of office was only two years at most. When he retired safely in two years, he would be replaced by others. This would also allow the entire Military Affairs Office to complete the transition between the old and new, which was the most appropriate arrangement.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yicheng never expected Shi Yizhi to do a good job in the position of military minister, but after he reached the position of chief military officer, he exposed so many problems. But even so, Zhu Yicheng was still not ready to touch him. For all considerations, Zhu Yicheng still planned to keep his position as chief until the last day he officially left.

But Zhu Yicheng never expected that Shi Yizhi suddenly put on such a thing and planned to quit. This made Zhu Yicheng very angry for a moment. For a moment, Zhu Yicheng was so angry that he wanted to put it bluntly. To put it bluntly, he even wanted to issue an order to call Shi Yizhi and scold him first, and then pull him out to spank him.

"This bastard! He is still retiring and returning home? Mom Xipi! What do you think of my military department? Come when you want to, and leave when you want to?" Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but curse and was so angry that his nose was crooked.
