The news of Liu Chengfeng entering the palace had already been handed in, and some civil servants in the room were also confused at this time. A while ago, Liu Jian and Liu suddenly pulled someone to give in to Duke Lian.
If you have any news, please report it at any time.
I thought it was just that Scholar Liu had just recovered and was extremely concerned about the commander of the Jinyiwei. But then Li Dongyang quietly called someone to give instructions at noon the day before yesterday, and the same was true for Xie Qian and Scholar Xie in the early morning.
These three cabinet scholars were both concerned about Duke Lian. Isn’t this a strange thing?
So if anyone tells Liu Chengfeng any movements, he will report them in time, and he will not neglect any of them.
But since all three major scholars are concerned, in this room, everyone is interested in talking about the recent preparations for the establishment of the official school, but they have not mentioned Liu Chengfeng at all. This abnormal behavior really teaches people.
I can't see clearly anymore,
At noon, as usual, eunuchs brought pastries and tea from the imperial kitchen. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also stopped the tickets they had written and went to the kang on the other side of the ear room to drink tea while filling their stomachs.
What they were talking about was the affairs of official schools. Now the imperial court is having a big fuss over textbook matters. It is said that there are still people fighting in the Ministry of Rites. Li Dongyang's face is a little blue, and he just doesn't slap the table. No matter what, he said
He served as the Minister of Rites. When it was reported, others would only say that he was incompetent in discipline.
The Ministry of Rites is like this, the Imperial College, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Honglu Temple are similar, but some places are more furious, and some places are not even as tremendous as earth-shaking.
Liu Jian did not express his opinion on this matter. In fact, it was not only him, but also Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, both looked deaf. Their identities were different, so it was inconvenient to express their opinions, so they could only be vague, but who knew.
The more vague the cabinet became, the more aggravated the arrogance of those people behind them.
Originally a good thing, now only troublesome is left.
Xie Qian took a sip of tea and finally couldn't help but look at Li Dongyang and said, "Mr. Li, I heard that Zhang Mengru said he wanted to sue? Alas... He was so polite. How could the head of the Ministry of Rites go to Dali?
The temple handed over paper?”
Li Dongyang was silent for a moment and said, "Look, Xi Zhong is not inseparable from the relationship. Even if he argues, he cannot attack anyone. Xi Zhong is my disciple. Yesterday he came to see me at home. I asked him to go and give it to me.
Zhang Mengru apologized. Say a good thing, what do you think he said? He actually said that Zhang Mengru's evil words confusing the public and distorting the meaning of the scriptures, which is worthy of it." Li Dongyang shook his head: "For this, I didn't even listen to my words.
If they like to make trouble, they will just let them go. They don’t want to be so bad. I just let them go. Let’s see how long they will have to quarrel?”
When Liu Jian heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Binzhi, I don't say that, I have to take care of what I should take."
Li Dongyang just shook his head and sighed.
Xie Qian put down the teacup and said angrily: "I want to say that this matter is inseparable from those newspapers. Those newspapers are now afraid that the world will not be in chaos. This newspaper supports this, and that newspaper also supports that.
.It's not messy enough."
Li Dongyang thought for a while and said, "This matter cannot be fought on, otherwise the court will not only be divided, but the court will not be able to stand up. Although the emperor did not make any noise, he must have been unhappy. I want to
Thinking about it, the matter of textbooks is not necessarily the same. Let the schools choose themselves. If you want to fight, you also have to fight these people from the local area. This is really not a good idea for the court."
Liu Jian nodded. Li Dongyang's meaning was to put this right to the bottom and fight for it, but it was better to have less gunpowder on the court, otherwise it would be a joke. Liu Jian could not say that Li Dongyang's idea was good or bad.
Come, but he knew that the affairs of the school were originally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Dongyang was also the Minister of Rites, so he couldn't refute Li Dongyang's intentions.
As he was talking, a civil servant hurried in outside and reported: "Duke Lian has left the palace..."
Leaving the palace...
Liu Jian's face had no expression at all, while Li Dongyang deliberately lowered his head to have tea. Xie Qian wanted to say something but he held it back and knocked on the tea table on the couch with his fingers.
Liu Jian waved his hand, and the civil servant hurriedly went down, leaving only three people in the ear room. Liu Jian glanced at the two and finally spoke: "The Jinyiwei is now at its peak."
A light sentence quickly resonated with the other two.
Yes, the Jinyiwei is not only a personal army, but also has the power to supervise. This right has been quite large and has been criticized for its history. After the Hongzhi Dynasty, with the efforts of the cabinet, its power has been suppressed.
To the smallest extent, but who knew that the person had a big rebound from the bottom and suddenly became the world's largest yamen. His power was astonishing, and his number of people under his jurisdiction was unprecedented.
This incident naturally aroused the vigilance of the cabinet. The Jinyiwei has now become a force outside the court, and it is growing increasingly. Liu Jian is worried that in the long run, the people in the world only know the Beizhen Fushi, but they have already
Forgot the cabinet.
Such worries are not unreasonable. In fact, many of the rights that the Jinyiwei fought for have overlapped with the cabinet. The cabinet was originally responsible for the expenses of the court and held financial powers. However, the Jinyiwei is now holding a few money bags, and the annual income is underway.
There is much more tax revenue collected by the Ministry of Revenue. Not to mention the local governments, once these anti-insurance bureaus have gained a foothold in various provinces, with the current financial support and strong strength of the Jinyiwei,
These Investigation Bureaus will surely become a strength no less than the Three Divisions.
In fact, Liu Jian admired Liu Chengfeng's strategy of peace sign. Gathering wealth for the country is not a bad thing, not to mention that Liu Chengfeng, a treasure house and a peace sign, is equivalent to a business that the court cannot take up.
The tax was completely collected. However, the arrangement of the Ping An brand was the tool for Duke Lian to fight for power. The Jinyiwei is now responsible for collecting taxes. What else should the Ministry of Revenue do? Although they are selling Ping An brand
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is tax collection.
Liu Jian just started to recover and didn't want to cause trouble. In a sense, Liu Chengfeng was once considered half of his ally, but from the perspective of the cabinet, he already had a lot of hostility towards the increasingly inflated Jinyiwei.
.
When Liu Jian commented on this Jinyiwei, his eyes couldn't help but look at Li Dongyang. Everyone in the world knew that Li Dongyang and Liu Chengfeng had a good personal relationship, and his clan brother also worked in the Jinyiwei. Liu Jian wanted to see what Li Dongyang meant, Li Dongyang's
Is the idea consistent with you?
Li Dongyang looked at Liu Jian, and naturally understood Liu Jian's intentions. He coughed and said seriously: "I think so too. It is said that there are more than 100,000 servants in a yamen. It is really unprecedented. If this continues
It’s not a solution. Duke Lian just took office and made such a big noise. Is it going to be more difficult in the future?”
He said that Liu Jian's face turned rosy. It seemed that Li Dongyang's interests were still on the cabinet. If so, things would be easier. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, this is just the beginning.
Didn’t a censor submit an impeachment memorial early this morning? The emperor summoned Liu Chengfeng this morning, and Liu Chengfeng had just left the palace, but the emperor’s will has not yet been seen. I am afraid that those impeachment memorials have not been launched.
What is the effect? After all, it is still Liu Chengfeng’s holy family who is too arrogant. It is probably not easy to stop this with a few memorials."
Li Dongyang narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you think of Mr. Liu?"
Liu Jian stroked the coffee table and fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said, "Wait..."
"Wait?" Xie Qian, who had not said anything, couldn't help but stay stunned and said, "If you wait any longer and cook the raw rice, wouldn't it be a disaster for raising tigers?"
Li Dongyang was silent for a moment, but suddenly woke up and smiled bitterly: "I can only wait now."
After saying that, Li Dongyang said to Xie Qian: "Mr. Liu Gong's meaning is that even if he wants to object now, it is not only too late, but it also has no effect." Li Dongyang couldn't help but sigh and said bitterly: "Last time, Qiao Ye
He said, Your Majesty is seriously ill. At this critical moment, it is better not to argue. Don’t make Your Majesty angry and hurt your body. I said something I shouldn’t say, just say that we will argue with reason, Your Majesty has made a regression, but don’t
Forgot that the prince and Liu Chengfeng have a close relationship. Can we stop it for a while, but can we stop it for another lifetime? The most urgent task at the moment is not to cause trouble to the emperor. On the other hand, say hello to the provinces and don’t let them go.
The authority of the matter is too heavy, and the things that should be fought for must be fought for. Apart from these, there is only one thing to wait..."
When Li Dongyang said that he was waiting, he looked at Xie Qian meaningfully. Xie Qian also understood a little. After all, a new monarch may have ascended the throne this year. No matter how much they fight, everything will be overturned and started over.
Rather than doing this, it is better to look at the direction of the wind first.
Liu Jian took a sip of tea and said, "Besides, the Jinyiwei is so powerful, there are many unhappy people. The wood is so beautiful that the forest wind will destroy it, so don't worry."
After he said that, he said, "It's getting late, and Your Majesty is still waiting for our tickets there. Let's do your job first, and then talk about it after the errand is finished."
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian nodded one after another, knowing that these words were just enough to stop, so they all left the ear room and went to their own business.
