Faced with everyone's doubts, Xu Qian said: "Your Majesty is young and not suitable for politics. Anyone who is in power is the problem of someone's incompetence, just as the Empress Dowager was concerned, that is, someone's plot against evil.

"What if someone is planning to indiscriminately, usurp power, and take over the whole body?"

"So my husband thought that the regent of the Ming Dynasty should not appear, nor should the Empress Dowager appointed ministers to the cabinet, but should be recommended publicly, that is, all officials above the ninth rank, as well as juren from all over the country, each wrote a letter to choose Hanlin scholars or six ministers to enter the cabinet. Whoever is more favored by the officials or juren from all over the world is allowed to enter the cabinet for eight years and preside over the affairs of the world. In this way, not only can it be justified, but the elected ministers are often expected to be expected. Wouldn't it be nice to let these people assist the emperor?"

Although the Empress Dowager Wang was very thoughtful, it did not mean that she had too much knowledge. Seeing Xu Qian’s words sound good, she just thought it made sense. After all, there were some inappropriate things to choose. After all, she was a woman and it was not good for women to be regent. Instead of doing this, it would be better to recommend the election. She supervised herself, as long as there was no trouble.

But she looked at Xu Qian with admiration.

If Xu Qian wanted to enter the cabinet, he was almost at his fingertips, but he refused and asked for public recommendation. In fact, the Ming Dynasty had a system of public recommendation. For example, if the emperor had a choice, he still had a court discussion to let everyone discuss and judge which one was better or worse. If the person he liked was opposed by too many people, even if the emperor wanted to force this kind of brother into the cabinet, most of the man would not have the shame to hang in the cabinet. Of course, the famous cotton-pinning Liu Ji and Zhang Fujing are exceptions.

However, this time, Xu Qian expanded the so-called public recommendation method a little, allowing more people to participate. The officials in the world were at least tens of thousands and tens of thousands, which almost represented the bureaucratic and scholar-official class of the entire Ming Dynasty. These people were the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said without any concealment that the emperor and scholar-officials ruled the world together. The latter so-called scholar-officials are undoubtedly this group of people.

Many people have started activities, and many people are impressed with Xu Qian. Even Chen Xin has reduced hostility towards Xu Qian. Although he knows that Xu Qian is trying to ease the conflict, but Xu is clearly a big gamble. He finally got to this point and entered the cabinet. However, he is not a bad person and insists on creating a public to introduce him. The number of people in the old party is obviously more than the new party. If it is recommended, it is uncertain whether Xu Qian can enter the cabinet.

It can be said that Xu Qian is playing with fire, and he plays very seriously and morally.

But from another perspective, it greatly eased the tension. Originally, everyone was going to work hard, everyone was nervous, scared, and were waiting and thinking about when they could take action.

It is natural to be afraid. People have the intention to be afraid. It’s better if they succeed. Once they fail, they will die without a burial place. They don’t have enough money to play with, and they will probably have to lose their heads to work.

It is understandable that nervousness is understandable. The opponent should not be underestimated. You are facing a tiger and a hungry wolf. If you negligence, you will be finished.

But now Xu Qian tells you, forget it, we won’t fight hard, let’s cut the bun and hammer it, whoever wins will come to power.

So, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and didn't have to fight to the death. It turned out that there was no need to fight to resolve the existing conflicts. Even if someone lost or cheated, at least now, everyone will devote themselves to this public promotion. Since you can choose to use other methods to curb the new party, try to push the old party into the cabinet, and then try to pull down the new party members as much as possible, then why not do it? Why do you have to fight to the death? The biggest benefit of this method is that although it is nonsense, in a sense, it avoids the possibility of fighting between two interest groups using the most primitive means.

OK, just recommend it publicly!

Since Xu Qian is talking about all the juren and officials, many people have confidence. The old party led by Chen Xin also feels that there is great potential and can perform its fists and feet well. As long as the old party can control the cabinet, the new policy will be able to curb it.

Chen Xin stood up without saying a word and said, "I think this method is good, but I also have to ask the Empress Dowager to be approved."

With him in the lead, the old party naturally began to plot against how many disciples and officials they had, and how many fellow scholars they had, and how many memorials they could bring. But they couldn't help but want to try it out, and they all said, "I think this is very appropriate."

The new party members were obviously a little unhappy, but this was proposed by Xu Qian, but they were helpless. There was a reason for them to be unhappy. Although there were many candidates in Zhizhe, the entire new party, with all officials and juren, was good to be able to occupy 30% of the world. This was a very obvious loss. In order not to let the old party control the court's principles, everyone tried their best and did everything. But now, they actually recommended it publicly. Isn't this a waste of time?

The new party has one advantage over the old party. It is because of the new one! It is less, so it is easy to get together. Since Xu Qian said nothing, everyone said, "I will also discuss it."

The Empress Dowager Wang said, "Okay, let's do it this way. This method is good. After all, the Ai family is a woman. Since you all think it's appropriate, just do it according to this."

"But." Wang was not stupid at all, and would not make a fool of himself: "The candidates who were introduced by the official should still be reported to the palace. If the palace feels that something is inappropriate, what should not be accurate or not."

This is an insurance policy, and the palace must have a veto power. Although this veto power is generally not used, it is also a means to suppress court officials.

Today, the two parties have reached a very rare agreement. Next, we will discuss some details. This was the Ming Dynasty. There were no trains and transportation, and even if it was a public recommendation of tens of thousands of people, it was not easy to implement it.

The first problem is when to start and when to end.

Xu Qian had already written a mantra and said, "Your Majesty is about to ascend the throne. The country cannot be without a king for a day. This cabinet cannot be without a form for a day. So what I mean is that from three days later, within one month, within tomorrow, immediately report to the world. In the next month, whenever the memorials of officials and juren are submitted to the capital, you will count them. At most, three people are elected, and the ones who recommend the most are the chief assistant, followed by the second auxiliary, and the other is the right. What do you think?"

Chen Xin could not come up with a better solution at this time, so he could only follow Xu Qian's method.

Xu Qian said again: "Also, once the elected ministers are nodded in the palace and immediately enter the cabinet to work. From then on, all the government orders will be well-known throughout the world. If someone cheats, then they will have to be regarded as rebellion. This matter must be made clear first."

Chen Xin nodded decisively: "Yes, I also think so. If anyone dares to make a lot of money after public recommendation, the people in the world will seek it." What he feared most was that the person with the surname Xu was dumped, and the rest was fine.

The others nodded and agreed.

The following court discussion suddenly became relaxed. At least compared with the tension just now, it was obviously a bit abnormal and even a little happy. Although everyone had their own ulterior motives, they looked very good in terms of face.

The discussion was almost done, and Xu Qian personally drafted the edict. After the ministers took a look, they handed it over to Wang. Wang nodded and ordered someone to stamp the seal and send an edict to all directions.

Chen Xin and others also breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye one after another. They obviously had many things to arrange.

However, Xu Qian was called out by Wang.

After shutting everyone off, Wang looked at Xu Qian with complicated eyes: "You are really hard to see through."

Xu Qian said: "What can the Empress do not see through?"

Wang smiled and said, "It's nothing. You are a loyal minister. Go down. Go and go to the palace more often and talk to Ai's family. It's said that the emperor is a lonely family, and the Ai family is the same. When she was a concubine, her husband died, her son died as the empress dowager, and her son died. Alas..." She sighed heavily.

Xu Qian bowed and said, "Empress and His Highness, King Zhongshan."

Wang looked at Xu Qian deeply: "No, in addition to His Highness, the Ai family has brothers, and you, you are the one who is the most intimate person of His Majesty. The Ai family now knows why the emperor regards his brother as his own."

Xu Qian smiled and said goodbye.

As soon as he left the palace, Xu Qian was immediately stopped by Zhang Zilin and others. Zhang Zilin was worried that he could not live this life anymore. Everyone worked hard to make Xu Qian control the court. In the end, he would make some public recommendation.

Xu Qian knew that they wanted to explain themselves, so he nodded and said, "Why go to the mansion and sit down, so I will naturally explain it to everyone."

Zhang Zilin and others nodded, got into the sedan chair, arrived at the Xu family, and sat down at the hall. Xu Qian said bluntly: "This public recommendation, I must be the chief assistant. As for this auxiliary, I think it will probably fall into our hands. There are two in the cabinet, and they are the top and the second seat. We should be in power."

Zhang Zilin said: "This may not be necessary. Xubutang should not forget that the number of new party members is not superior, and even 30% of the old party. What I am worried about is that once Chen and Xin control the court, it will sooner or later be unfavorable to the new policy. Xubutang and the Empress Dowager have clearly appointed you to join the cabinet, why don't you?"

Xu Qian smiled: "Although I entered the cabinet early, I ask you, with my current qualifications, will this auxiliary have anything to do with me when the emperor ascends the throne in the future?

After asking this, Zhang Zilin was asked down.
