Chapter 28 Discussion in the Hall
Li Zhang was on duty at Hemen again. Seeing Xu Ping coming over and checking the imperial edict, he took him straight to Chongzheng Hall.
Today is a political discussion, and the imperial edict is summoned, not just by the other side, but the procedures are much simpler.
After entering Chongzheng Hall, Xu Ping glanced out of the corner of his eyes and found that the people from the two palaces were basically here. He also had his superior, the Third Office Envoy Cheng Lin, and several Hanlin scholars next to him, but he did not see the most popular censors.
Just after coming forward to see him, Zhao Zhen said, "Give him a seat."
Seeing that everyone was sitting and discussing matters, Xu Ping sat down at the bottom of the house without being pretentious.
The talks between the front hall and the side hall are relatively casual, unlike the morning court, where ordinary people can't stand up without practicing.
Xu Ping sat down, Zhao Zhen looked at the top of Lu Yijian and said in a deep voice: "Xu Ping, I will call you here today. I will be familiar with civil affairs and military affairs for many years in Yongzhou. Today, Guangnan West Road and Yongzhou both submitted memorials to discuss the future governance of Yongzhou, and you will be a consultant."
Xu Ping stood up and returned.
Xu Ping sat down, and no one cared about him anymore and continued the previous discussion. It seems that he is really here today to be the adviser of the prime minister and minister, and is not qualified to participate in the discussion.
The Pavilion is a place where the imperial court can store materials, and many emperors of the court will specifically ask them to participate in the discussion. After all, Xu Ping brought the Zhishi Pavilion, and even if he abandoned his former head of Yongzhou, he did not come abruptly. Instead, limiting his role to consultants and not participating in actual discussions, it seems a bit bullying.
Among the two palaces, except for the Privy Councilor Wang Shu who was unwell and asked for leave, everyone else was here.
Xu Ping listened quietly for a while and understood what was being discussed today. Since he promoted Ding Fa in Yongzhou, he has occupied Menzhou, Liangzhou, and pacified Guangyuanzhou. Yongzhou is nearly a thousand miles in a radius, and has hundreds of thousands of household registrations under his jurisdiction. As a state on the border, it is too large and it must be divided and governed. But how to divide it, the Privy Council and the Secretary of the Central Committee have no disputes and are not giving in to each other.
The people here are basically divided into three opinions. The Secretariat was headed by Lu Yijian, and believed that there was no need to go too far, and only a few important places were promoted to the state army. Just select a capable person as Changer. The Privy Council firmly believed that this was not enough to cope with the current situation in Yongzhou, and it was not conducive to preservation and development. It advocated the establishment of a military route in the two states of Yongzhou, the selection of ministers in the court as commanders, and the selection of imprisonment soldiers to go, and the selection of generals as deployments to explore the south.
Because the Sugar Sugar Service in Yongzhou belongs to the Third Division, and Xu Ping used the Sugar Service to explore Yongzhou, the envoy Cheng Lin of the Third Division was also called to participate in the discussion. Cheng Lin came and formed a third opinion. It is necessary to promote several state troops in Yongzhou, but he still followed Xu Ping's original method, based on the sugar Sugar Service, unified the various places, and promoted the sugar Sugar Service with ministers and ended the southward.
In terms of departmental status, the Secretary of the Central Committee had an absolute advantage, but Yongzhou was a border area. The Privy Council did not let go, and it seemed weak compared to Cheng Lin. However, the attitude was the most radical. He even said that he could not serve as the envoy of the Three Divisions for the time being, and went to Yongzhou to take the sugar sugar service, and in a few years, he would definitely take the Jiaozhi County and County.
The three departments have too much power. Although they are under the jurisdiction of the Zhongshu, there are still cases where the prime minister cannot control the three departments. If the three departments are asked to preside over the recovery of Jiaozhi, once the matter comes true, the two governments will probably become the three governments, and the prime minister can no longer control the three departments. In response to Cheng Lin, the Zhongshu and the Privy Council united again to suppress the three departments.
As for the Hanlin Bachelor, he only helped to come up with ideas and did not participate in the formation of decisions.
Xu Ping watched coldly, and coupled with his understanding of the political situation these days, he finally understood the current camp in the hall.
The second minister of the Secretariat, led by the second minister, the deputy minister, Wang Suihe and Song Shou have always been dependent on him. The three of them were the main force of the dispute between the Secretariat. The two parties involved in politics came forward to argue. Lu Yijian had fewer words, but they both gave strong support to the two at critical moments. Prime Minister Li Di and the deputy minister, Yan Shu, were relatively silent, but did not drag Lu Yijian back.
Before the Privy Councilor Wang Shu arrived, the Privy Council lost some momentum. The three deputy envoys, Wang Deyong, was a military general. Although he was famous all over the world, he was always cautious and basically did not speak out in this way. The other two deputy envoys Li Zi and Cai Qi were both promoted from the position of the Three Divisions to the magistrate, among which Li Zi also accepted Xu Ping's sugar shop. Li Zi and Cai Qi were both famous for their officials. More importantly, they did not form cliques, and they had their own opinions and would not give in if they were to bite them.
Although Cheng Lin is single and lonely, her relationship with Li Zi and Cai Qi is still there. Although the two oppose Cheng Lin in terms of departmental interests, they are still closer in personal relationships.
Three Hanlin bachelors, Zhang Dexiang, has always been close to Lu Yijian, and often speaks to help him. The other two Feng Yuan and Sheng Du are relatively independent, and their attitudes are actually similar to Prime Minister Li Di. They do not help each other and seek truth from facts.
This situation is actually the continuation of Lu Yijian's party and the empress dowager's party in the past few years. However, the empress dowager's party has collapsed. Zhao Zhen found some ministers who did not form party a few years ago to take over the position of the empress dowager's party. In terms of number of people, Lu Yijian was naturally at a disadvantage, but his group of people were united and had the upper hand in momentum.
Of course, there was another major force in the court at this time, which was the censorship power led by Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan, but they did not participate in this specific policy decision. They just needed to keep the right level of using people.
Several prime ministers were so thirsty that they were still stubborn, but they still had their own opinions, but there was no result.
Zhao Zhen had no choice but to stop everyone, looked at Xu Ping and said, "Xu Ping, you can understand what the ministers said, but what should I say? You have been in charge of Yongzhou for many years, so you should have invented such political affairs."
Xu Ping stood up and replied carefully: "There are great affairs in the court, and the status of the poor ministers is humble and dare not speak nonsense. However, I just heard what you Shangguan said, and there are still some unclear aspects of Yongzhou's geographical and human feelings. Yongzhou's border areas, mountains and rivers, and Han and barbarians are mixed. You cannot look at the Central Plains prefectures and counties. The major policies of the court will definitely be related to the stability there for decades, so it is better to be cautious."
Zhao Zhen sighed secretly. This court upstart has a close relationship with him and has made great contributions. Recently, he has been promoted too fast, but he is as young as himself, afraid that the young man will be aggressive and say inappropriate words. Zhao Zhen knew that he was young and generally did not dare to take charge of national affairs. He mostly summoned the ministers to discuss and focus on the opinions of the court ministers. He heard Xu Ping's words cautiously and highlighted his own strengths of familiarity with the local situation, so he felt relieved.
Zhao Zhen looked at the ministers sitting and said to Xu Ping: "Since that's the case, you can talk about the geography of Yongzhou. It must be concise and concise, so that the ministers have a clear idea and then make a decision."
Xu Ping Yingnuo looked around and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, you can't explain it even if you just open your mouth. Please give me some paper and ink. I can draw mountains and rivers on the paper so that I can explain it thoroughly."
"Okay, let's stop the discussion for now, and the ministers will use some tea soup. Xu Ping, you can go there to draw a picture."
