Faced with the enthusiasm of the two ministers, Xu Jingchang was indifferent, "Xia Shangshu, Ru Yu and you are also our own people!"
Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, "Yes, but not when he makes a fatal mistake."
This person is really sincere, Xu Jingchang snorted: "You are throwing it away like worn out shoes!"
Jian Yi coughed slightly and said, "He is still very different from us."
Xu Jingchang wanted to laugh more and more, "I am different from you in many ways. We even have different paths in civil and military affairs. I'm not stupid, how can I not understand? You guys are scared in your heart when you see His Majesty beating Ru Yu so hard in the main hall.
, I want to find someone to stand in front of you and protect you from the wind and rain. However, these thunder, rain and dew are all God’s grace. Even if the thunder breaks you, it is still the Emperor’s grace, and I will not interfere with it.”
Xu Jingchang stood up directly and said, "Jian Shangshu, if you really regard me as one of your own, just give me a low grade in the evaluation and let me go home to inherit the title. This court is not interesting. I waved my hand,
It would be too boring to have both officials sacked at the same time. It would be better to go home and fish for comfort."
If Yao Guangxiao were here, he would definitely know what tricks Xu Jingchang was playing, but these two were still inexperienced after all. Xia Yuanji was still trying to persuade: "Xu Tongzheng, we have no bad intentions, and you don't want those few Hanlin Ci officials in the cabinet to do whatever they want, right?"
Xu Jingchang laughed loudly, "Xia Shangshu, you are also smart and confused for a while. The cabinet is in charge of official documents and surrounds the emperor, that is the de facto prime minister. It doesn't matter what their rank is, as long as they can influence your majesty's thoughts and implement government affairs on behalf of the emperor, they
It is the center of the Ming Dynasty. You two can only be in charge of one department, and others can control the overall situation. Sooner or later, you will fail, so don't bother, it is best to surrender, seek protection from others, and be the lackeys of the cabinet.
This is the best outcome for the six books of ministers."
After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he swaggered out and left the two ministers behind.
For example, the Hanlin Academy's review of Hu Yan directly pointed out that if the proposal of the Ministry of Personnel is followed, it will be equivalent to turning the General Administration Department into the Political Affairs Hall.
Phase system.
Xia Yuanji said: "At the last imperial meeting, we have already opposed the supervision of the general affairs department by the officials. Now we have suddenly changed it. I'm afraid it is inappropriate!"
Their actions soon alarmed other people, namely the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College, the Zhanshi Mansion, and the Six Sections Gallery... Yes, these yamen are traditional Qingshui yamen, with low rank, little power, and hard life.
"It's good to quarrel. The more noisy, the more fun. Give everything to His Majesty and let His Majesty worry."
"Brother, if you submit a letter, I will follow suit. Your Majesty is still hesitating at the moment and doesn't know who to hand over the government affairs to. As long as we persuade you carefully, we may not be unable to succeed."
Xu Jingchang crossed his legs and looked like the most entertaining person in the court.
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "That's right, His Highness sent a memorial to me in Peking, in memory of my uncle, and asked for His Majesty's favor to allow you to inherit the title of Marquis of Wuyang."
Jian Yi's skill is evident.
In fact, don't think that officials can't do it. If Zhu Yuanzhang had not abolished the Zhongshu Sheng, and there were important ministers at the prime minister level, Zhu Yunwen would at least be able to make fewer mistakes, and Zhu Di's appeasement would not have been so easy.
Just when Xu Jingchang was happy, Yao Guangxiao came.
Can I go home?
Yao Guangxiao held a piece of spareribs between his arms and said with a smile: "Not only did your Majesty agree, but he also gave you the title of Crown Prince and Taibao, and you will remain the general envoy."
Jian Yi sulked, frowned, and thought hard. Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Zhongshu Province, leaving a huge power vacuum. When he was alive, he could still fill the vacuum with his super strong spirit, but now he must recover.
It's normal.
Although this group of people is of low quality, they are better in number.
"What good thing?" Xu Jingchang asked puzzledly.
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yuanji was overjoyed and was so happy!
Jian Yi's face darkened, and he thought more deeply, "Now these people are only fifth-grade bachelors, just for consultation. The result of their discussion requires the nod of our six ministers. These people are still far from the prime minister."
It’s far away.”
Xu Jingchang was in the General Administration Department every day, and Le Dianping looked at the quarreling memorials. Some supported Jian Yi, while others supported Hu Yan. The two sides went back and forth, which was simply wonderful.
The two men reached an agreement, and the entire civil service system was put into operation.
His letter immediately attracted countless echoes.
It is tantamount to violating the ancestral system and must not be agreed to.
But after he was angry, Xia Yuanji said worriedly: "Brother, although this kid's words don't sound good, the truth is true. Yang Rong, Xie Jin, Huang Huai, and Yang Shiqi, these people surround the emperor and will not leave for a moment.
When discussing government affairs and criticizing government affairs, he is indeed more like a prime minister than us."
"Now among the six ministries and nine ministers, the entire court can resist the cabinet, and only one official is left." Jian Yi said solemnly: "Emperor Taizu said that government affairs are like water, so they need to be communicated regularly. That's why we established the general secretary.
Political Envoy. What would happen if we move forward and put all the ministers in the cabinet under the General Secretary?"
He even started singing.
Moreover, it was nominally placed in the General Affairs Department, which gave Xu Jingchang a little sweet spot, but in fact it was presided over by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Don't let the Six Parties succeed.
"Xu Tongzheng, why don't you use me? I want to tell you a good thing."
Xu Jingchang was not surprised, "Master, are you thinking about vegetarianism again? I'm in a good mood. You don't have to do anything. I'll treat you."
Jian Yi waved his hand, "You can't look at it that way. Xu Jingchang still told the truth. He has a title in his family, and he is in charge of the General Affairs Department, which is temporary. It is not difficult to depose him, and it is impossible for subsequent courtiers to imitate him.
On the other hand, there are bachelors in the cabinet. There are not a hundred but eighty ministers in the Hanlin Academy. There are still so many learned men in the world who are watching, and the imperial examinations held every three years will sooner or later turn the cabinet into a real prime minister."
In the final analysis, it was Zhu Yunwen and his group who had no experience in ruling the country, but suddenly took over the power of the court. As a result, they suddenly lost all their good cards and pushed Zhu Di to the throne.
Zhu Di selected people from among the ministers to serve in the cabinet to assist the emperor.
This means that Sir Humphrey may not be good, but he is still much better than the golden lettuce and the like who are indifferent to others.
If the six ministers are alone, they will not have an advantage in dealing with the cabinet, but if the six ministers come together and can communicate with each other, they will not be afraid of the cabinet.
If you don't fight, where can I watch the show?
"I am... Wollongong... a casual person..."
In addition to the war-damaged Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works, the other four ministries, plus the Supervisory Office, Dali Temple, and Honglu Temple, all had the purpose of actively providing advice and suggestions. They persuaded Zhu Di over and over again not to engage in cabinet affairs. The existing ministries and yamen
It's enough. As long as everyone discusses it at the General Affairs Department, it will be fine.
Jian Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I will write a letter to advise, and the six ministers and nine ministers will go to the General Affairs Department every ten days to discuss government affairs, discuss matters, and coordinate and coordinate major events. The Ministry of Personnel will take the lead and the General Affairs Department will preside over."
There is no doubt that it is their best promotion path.
The two men chatted back and forth, and finally came to a consensus. Xu Jingchang was only a minor problem, while the cabinet was a serious problem.
Xia Yuanji said with a bitter face: "It's far away, but Xu Jingchang is right. They can participate in the overall situation and can say a few words on any government affairs. In the end, we are only responsible for the affairs of the headquarters. As for the scope of intervention, it is
It's a big difference. You and I can still resist and argue with reason. But the other ministers and ministers will inevitably be used by these people to seize their authority. Over time, there will be endless troubles."
Through this Xun Meeting of the General Administration Secretary, the status of the six ministries has been consolidated, and they can better implement government affairs, have explanations to His Majesty, and be able to pursue both the country and their career.
Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi's faces turned black with anger. This bastard really deserves a beating. If it weren't for the sake of your father and your aunt, we would have to impeach you for being so arrogant and domineering!
Xu Jingchang was even more surprised. Is there such a good thing?
There is no way to get promoted yet.
Xia Yuanji's heart moved slightly, "If this happens, the General Secretary will really become the prime minister, which will not be our blessing. What's more, Xu Jingchang is more capable than those few ministers. I'm afraid something big will happen.
.”
Assailed the Lord?
Xu Jingchang was stunned, he had an official position!
Yao Guangxiao nodded and prepared eighteen dishes this time, setting a full table.
"By the way, Your Majesty also agrees to the Xun Meeting of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers, and the one with the highest rank will preside over the Xun Meeting."
Xu Jingchang was stunned, and after a while he murmured: "Are those ministers all second-grade?"
"That's right, you are the only one from the first rank." The old monk said with a smile.
Xiao Xu’s title has been obtained. Please give me some recommendation votes and rewards, so I can continue reading... Let’s continue to stir things up...
