The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 1023

Qian Muqian has been a clay Buddha for three years, and the other six members of the cabinet headed by Wang Hua are able to handle the government affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty in an orderly manner.

This group of young people... In Qian Muqian's eyes, they can already support the Great Zhou Empire.

Therefore, he also enjoyed his leisure time and compiled books. Qian Muqian's real hobby was playing chess, calligraphy and painting.

During the cabinet discussions, Qian Muqian acted as a mascot, and his speech today was purely rare.

Among the group of people present, the ones with the highest martial arts skills were an old man and a young man.

The first young master refers to Emperor Linde. Although he is young, he has entered the realm of Yuanhua many years ago with the help of Wudang Wuji Pill.

In these years, he has not been required to deal with specific government affairs, so he has had a lot of time to study literature and martial arts. His current internal strength is among the top in the Yuanhua Realm.

As for Qian Muqian, the successor of the orthodox Confucian sect Haotian Mansion, he is already one of the top masters in the world.

He should be on par with the leader of Buddhism and Taoism, so his martial arts skills are naturally rare in the world.

Minister of Rites, if your fist is not strong enough, how can you talk about etiquette with others? !

After all, Kong Sheng, the most sage teacher of Confucianism, was a ruthless man with a hard enough fist.

"Everyone, Fa Tianxiang Dijing is the top master in the world. You can think of him as half an immortal. If he fights alone, even the most powerful general in the founding of this dynasty, King Kaiping, is no match for the three of them. Of course. , fighting on the battlefield is another matter."

All the civil servants present knew that the laws of heaven and earth were powerful.

But they don't have an intuitive feeling about how powerful the Fa Tianxiang Realm is.

Now let’s give an intuitive example to illustrate.

Chang Yanheng, King of Kaiping, was the second master in those troubled times. Except for General Zhang Dingbian of the Chen Han Dynasty, there was no other strong general in the world who could rival him. He was like Guan Zhang, the figure who took the head of a general among thousands of troops.

According to Qian Muqian's words, these three men were more brave than Chang Yanheng, so it was naturally possible to defeat the Japanese.

Of course, this is also relative.

If it were a real sword in front of the banquet, Chang Yanheng would be no match for any of Li, Lang, and Mo.

But if it were to fight on the battlefield, the three swordsmen Li, Lang, and Mo would naturally not be able to compare with Chang Yanheng's martial arts skills, which ranged freely across the battlefield.

"So powerful?!"

"It's really appalling!"

……

All the ministers in Wuying Hall were whispering.

While everyone was discussing, Emperor Linde suddenly spoke, "The Crown Prince and Grand Master have written several times to state the harm to Japan. Have you ever paid attention to it?!"

In the eyes of everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Japan was a small country. Except for Yang Qingyuan who once wrote a letter, no one took it seriously.

"In the past, the crown prince and grand master wrote several times to express the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese country in the East, but did you take it to heart!?" Emperor Linde's voice still had a youthful tone, but his words made all the ministers present question. Speechless.

This is not because everyone present is incompetent and short-sighted, but because Yang Qingyuan has a vision that transcends the dimensions of time and space.

The arrogance of the Celestial Kingdom has long been rooted in the hearts of the people of the Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, they will not take it seriously for a small country like Japan.

The same is true for Blue Star in another dimension.

Even the Japanese invasion during the Wanli period failed to alert the Central Plains, and they still did not take it to heart. It was not until the Sino-Japanese War of [-] that the Chinese people truly realized the ambition of this small country to devour the world. Unfortunately, it was too late by then, which ultimately caused serious disasters to the land of China.

Now the ministers in Wuying Palace were speechless when asked by Emperor Linde. The cabinet was not unaware of Yang Qingyuan's suggestions. Wang Hua and others also believed in Yang Qingyuan's vision, but they felt that they were not in a hurry regarding the Japanese affairs, so they just followed Yang Qingyuan's suggestions and organized the navy to deal with Japanese pirates.

As for Yang Qingyuan's statement about refining the navy at sea, conquering surrounding islands, and forming a large offshore defense chain, he put it aside.

If some of the surrounding islands can be conquered, then the information about Japan's troop dispatch this time will surely be obtained first, and they will not be so passive.

"I am guilty of short-sightedness and negligence! Please forgive me, Emperor!"

Wang Hua, as the actual chief minister of the cabinet, immediately stood up and apologized.

Seeing Wang Hua like this, all the ministers around him stood up to apologize.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

……

This is actually Shisan's deliberate decision. Yang Qingyuan's teaching to Shisan lies in the word decentralization.

Only when multiple forces check and balance each other can a republic be achieved.

Today's Great Zhou Dynasty can already see the prototype of an alternative separation of powers.

The Emperor and the Sixth Army Commander-in-Chief took over the military power and protected the Zhou Sheji Ancestral Temple unshakably.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple have the power of supervision and legislation, which puts the civil servant group in power under due restraint.

Finally, there is the most traditional civil service group.

From the aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty to the aristocrats of the former Tang Dynasty to the current civil servant group, these people control knowledge and culture, and control the administrative power of the middle level of a dynasty.

It's just that more and more people are participating, making it difficult to form an effective monopoly, but the power of this group has always been there.

Now it has become the strongest force in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, Emperor Linde needs to suppress this force in a timely manner.

"What Wang Qing said is serious. No one is a sage. How can anyone be without faults!? There is no greater good than making mistakes! If you can recognize your mistakes, it is enough!"

However, the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the side did not let it go so easily!

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has its own laws. If you make a mistake, you must be punished! The gentlemen of the cabinet are guilty of carelessness and should be fined half a year's salary according to the law!"

Cheng Qingsong, an old man, never rubs sand in his eyes!
When Emperor Xizongli wanted to kill Yu Yanyi, he could lead the Metropolitan Procuratorate to collectively dominate the dynasty.

When Yang Qingyuan killed Xi Zong, he also angered Yang Qingyuan in front of him and even wanted to expel him from the capital.

For this old man, he has his own value system, only right and wrong, not closeness or distance.

"What Mr. Cheng said is absolutely true! I will accept my punishment!" Wang Hua saluted Cheng Qingsong after hearing this.

Seeing Wang Hua like this, even if the other ministers were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.

As the head of the cabinet, Wang Hua is the leader of the civil service group!
Yang Qingyuan’s previous restructuring law separated the civil service group from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Those who join the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be allowed to join the administrative ranks for life; those who have experience in administrative ranks will not be allowed to disgrace the Metropolitan Procuratorate for life.

Doing so artificially separates supervision from administration.

Wang Hua also understood the meaning of Cheng Qingsong and the emperor, and cooperated with them to create conflicts between the civil service group and the supervisory group.

Only when both sides are in opposition can they better play a supervisory role.

If everyone is just like the light, then why bother to supervise? !
