Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 226 Wang Ao's Means

Wenhua Hall.

As Cheng Jing turned back again, there were three more elders in scarlet robes behind him.

At the front is Mr. Wang Zhi, a heavenly official from the Ministry of Officials. His spirit is getting better and better these days.

Ever since the two invitations to become an official were handed over, it was not the same as before, and I would get sick and ask for leave every now and then, and my health was excellent.

It is said that every day in the Ministry of Officials, there is a plate of red purple sand pots, and a pot of tea can drink all the way to the lower office.

His old man entrusted the two servants to do all the affairs that the official department should respond to, so it's just a matter of time.

On weekdays, everyone he met had a smile on his face, and he lived a very leisurely life.

In contrast, Wang Ao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Wen, the censor of the right capital, were half a step behind in tacit understanding.

Wang Ao's face was calm, it didn't look like he had been treated coldly at all.

As for Wang Wen, his unsmiling face has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"I am waiting to meet your Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, and signaled the servant next to him to move a few blocks over, and waited for them to take their seats before opening his mouth.

"There's no need to be too polite, several Qing families have come together, but what's the matter?"

The old Tianguan sat with an old god on his face, and said nothing, and Wang Wen was the same. Only Wang Ao stood up from the pier and said with his hands clasped.

"Your Majesty, the minister and the two lords came here for a matter, and I want to announce it to Your Majesty."

As he spoke, Wang Ao took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully.

Zhu Qiyu took it over and took a look at it. On the cover, there were a few words written in Guange Xiaokai with rigid calligraphy.

Please add the list of academicians of Hanlin Zhangyuan!

Seeing that the emperor opened it for a closer look, Wang Ao cupped his hands and continued.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet system is newly established, and many of them are incomplete. At first, Emperor Taizong set up a cabinet as a dispatch to prepare for occasional consultants and assist government affairs. The cabinet scholars are mostly headed by the Imperial Academy. Bachelor and minister concurrently."

"Now the cabinet is highly trusted by His Majesty. The right to approve draft proposals and redefine the staff system has become an indispensable part of the government affairs of the court. It is not just for consultation in the past, but has become one of the permanent yamen of the court."

"In our court system, one official does not hold the second office, and the cabinet is busy with important affairs. Now Chen Xun and Gao Gu are still in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Academy. For this responsibility, we will select a separate academician from the Hanlin Academy.”

Wang Ao spoke calmly, but Cheng Jing couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.

It really caught the emperor's attention, this Mr. Wang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

No, the two members of the cabinet at the front used the troops of the Imperial Academy to isolate him at the sutra banquet, and the elders at the back made a memorial with their backhands.

I want to play directly, please remove Chen Xun and Gao Gu from the responsibility of being in charge of the courtyard.

This move is ruthless!

But obviously, Cheng Jing still underestimated Wang Ao's determination.

He is a person who either doesn't do it, or does it if he wants to do it.

After Wang Ao finished speaking, on the other side, Wang Wen got up and said.

"Your Majesty, I think what the Chief Assistant said is true. The cabinet has the power to draw up votes, and then the Imperial Academy may be suspected of forming a clique. I think that the Guozijian sacrifices wine and Xiao Yi, who has outstanding virtue and literary talent, and he can take on an important task. "

After reading Wang Ao's memorial, Zhu Qiyu glanced at Wang Wen, and his heart was clear.

Chen Xun and Gao Gu were nothing more than bullying Wang Ao, who was away from Beijing for a long time, and most of the connections and forces were in the local area, so they made such a blatant provocation.

But when Wang Ao made such a move, aiming at their seven inches, he was about to cut off their arms!

Without the Imperial Academy, they are just two ordinary cabinet ministers. Master Wang Ao is in charge of the votes and can handle them to death.

However, the biggest difficulty with this move is that Wang Ao has no contacts in Beijing.

It is a rule recognized by the imperial court that one official should not serve as a second office, although there will be exceptions in special periods.

But it's a valid reason after all.

However, the Hanlin Academy is different from other yamen. Shilin Huaxuan has strict requirements on the background of the imperial examination.

Most of the first-class Jinshi who came from the imperial examination directly entered the Imperial Academy, so most of the bachelors in the Imperial Academy were promoted from this academy.

But in this way, what Wang Ao did was meaningless.

After all, Chen Xun has dominated the Imperial Academy for many years, and now most of the attendants and lecturers in the Imperial Academy are his students.

Promoting them to the top position is actually no different from Chen Xun taking charge of the Hanlin Academy himself.

However, just because Wang Ao has no contacts in Beijing, it doesn't mean that others don't either.

For example, Wang Wen, who is about to take over as Minister of the Ministry of Officials!

Although Wang Wen is still the censor of the right capital, it is already a tacit matter among the important officials that he is about to take over as the Minister of the Ministry of officials.

These days, the old heavenly official took Wang Wen's initiative to walk around the official department to familiarize himself with the situation. Anyone who is not blind can see the signs of it.

Wang Wen was different from Wang Ao. Before he was promoted to the censor of Youdu, he had been the Minister of Dali Temple for a long time, and he was in charge of punishment and prison.

Therefore, he has his own contacts in the capital.

More importantly, the rise of the cabinet poses a natural threat to the authority of the six ministries, especially the ministries of officials.

As an official who is about to take over the Ministry of Officials, Wang Wen naturally does not hope that while the cabinet holds the power of drafting proposals, it is also in charge of the Imperial Academy, a place that can continuously export talents.

In addition, it is not surprising that Wang Ao and Wang Wen went to Tuotuobuhua's camp together, and they had a friendship, and they came hand in hand.

However, it must be said that Wang Ao is indeed able to be ruthless.

In a sense, his move is to limit the power of the cabinet, so as to achieve the purpose of completely holding the cabinet in his hands.

Sure enough, the civil servants who dared to confront the enemy on the city wall with their swords in hand, started to do things and killed decisively.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, then asked the smiling Wang Zhi.

"Tianguan, Mr. Jianzhai recommended Guozijian Jijiu Xiao Yi to succeed him as a bachelor in charge of the Imperial Academy. What's the opinion of the Ministry of Officials?"

The old Tianguan got up and arched his hands.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Yi has been steady and stable. He has been in charge of the Guozijian for several years and has been highly praised. The Ministry of Officials had planned to transfer the sixth department to be a minister after the end of his term. If His Majesty wishes, it is not impossible to transfer him to the Imperial Academy."

"However, Guozijian sacrifices wine from the fourth rank, and Hanlin bachelors are from the fifth rank. Although the Hanlin is noble, but Xiao Yi has outstanding achievements in politics, it is not suitable to downgrade. Therefore, if you want to transfer, you can add the title of six ministers and concurrently serve as a minister. Hanlin Bachelor."

Obviously, the heavenly official is not very keen on this matter.

One bite at a time, "If Your Majesty wants to", that means, it's all up to you, the Son of Heaven!

Zhu Qiyu hesitated.

Xiao Ying, he knew, had the same temperament as Yu Qian, and would take care of the overall situation, but he was a little less courageous and responsible than Yu Qian. As Wang Zhi said, he was a stable person.

In the previous life, when Zhu Qiyu wanted to change the crown prince, Xiao Yi was against it, thinking that it was not in accordance with the etiquette and would cause turmoil in the court.

But later, Zhu Qiyu really changed the prince, and someone loyal to Zhu Qizhen contacted him to change the East Palace back to the original version. He also opposed it, thinking that since the prince had already been changed, it was not appropriate to reset it again.

All in all, this is a person who doesn't like to make troubles, and always wants to be able to follow the rules, follow the rules, and be safe and sound.

It would be appropriate for the Hanlin Academy to be handed over to him.

His stable character will definitely not let the Hanlin Academy make such a fuss like it is today.

So, Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

"Since this is the case, the Ministry of Officials will issue an order to remove Chen Xun and Gao Gu as bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, and concentrate on cabinet affairs.

The old heavenly official cupped his hands and bowed his head to accept the order, but he still stood where he was, without retreating, as if he was waiting for something.

Sure enough, the next moment, Wang Ao continued to step forward, took out another playbook from his sleeve, and said.

"Your Majesty, since the cabinet has been customized, there should be six cabinet ministers, but now there are only three. If it goes on for a long time, it may affect the operation of government affairs. It is really inappropriate. After discussing with the heavenly officials, I will report to Your Majesty, please add more cabinet ministers."

The little servant took the memorial and put it on the imperial case.

It is still the rigid Guange lower case script, with neat words written on it.

The Ministry of officials and the cabinet ask the court to push the cabinet ministers!
