marquis of jingan

Chapter 752

To be honest, in terms of influence in the court alone, the current prime minister is far inferior to the former prime minister Yang Jingzong, who can be described as having power over the government and the opposition.

It's not a question of ability.

Or it's not entirely because of ability issues.

It mainly depends on whether the prime minister fits with His Majesty the emperor or not, and the specific environment that the prime minister faces at the time.

When Yang Jingzong was in charge of the government, the late emperor had no interest in political affairs. Later, the late emperor died young and today was young. Yang Jingzong, the current prime minister, naturally became the top boss who monopolized power.

And when Chen Jing was the head of the meeting hall, His Majesty the emperor had been in charge for several years, and the prime ministers in the meeting hall were about the same age and qualifications as him. This caused Chen Jing, the prime minister, to be unable to turn the meeting hall into his "One word hall".

Because this is what His Majesty wants to see.

However, although the meeting hall is not a one-word hall now, it does not mean that Chen Jing, the prime minister, is not important.

On the contrary, he is very important.

Wang Dan, the head of the council that was used for the transition at the time, is now old. The reason why Chen Jing was able to get the position of chief assistant shows that he and the emperor should have reached a certain degree of cooperation.

At least a tacit understanding to some extent.

In other words, this Prime Minister Chen is the first prime minister of the Hongde Dynasty in the true sense, and will also be a key figure in the foundation of the Hongde Dynasty.

After hearing Shen Yi's voice, there was movement in the room soon, and a Zhongzheng and peaceful voice came out.

"Come in."

Only then did Shen Yi cautiously push open the door, and after entering, he turned around and closed the door, then walked up to the prime minister who was flipping through the documents, slightly lowered his head and cupped his hands, and said, "I've seen Prime Minister Chen."

Chen Jing didn't raise his head, his eyes were still on the document in front of him.

"Find a chair and sit for a while, and wait for the old man."

Shen Yi followed his words, found a chair and sat down, and then patiently waited for the little old man to finish his work. After almost an hour, the prime minister with three long beards in front of him put the brush in his hand on the pen holder, Slowly looked up at Shen Yi.

"Mr. Chen sat closer, the old man's eyes are blurred and he can't see clearly."

Master Shen got up according to his words, bowed his head slightly to Chen Jing and said, "I don't know why Xiangguo called the officials here?"

"Sit down and talk."

Shen Yi sat down again.

Chen Xiang stroked the beard on his chin, and said slowly: "Today's imperial decree, Zhongshu has already sealed and sent it out, and Shen Langzhong has received it?"

Shen Yi nodded slightly: "The lower official has received it."

Chen Jing nodded again. He looked at Shen Yi with a smile on his face: "The last time I heard someone mention Shen Langzhong's name, I can't remember it when I'm old. I don't know how to call it?"

Whether the old man really forgot, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he gave Shen Yi face, Master Shen replied: "The lower official's name is Zi Heng, and the family line is seven, Chen Xiang calls the lower official Shen Qi."

"Shen Ziheng"

The old man smiled and said, "I remember."

He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "When and how do you plan to do Ziheng's job of patrolling the Huaihe Navy?"

This is Shangguan asking about business, so naturally he has to answer honestly. Master Shen thought for a while, and said: "Xiaguan today and tomorrow, after arranging the affairs of the yamen and the family, I am ready to leave for this errand."

Chen Xianggong nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "What are you going to do?"

Shen Yi looked calm, looked directly at Chen Jing, and said: "Since the court trusts the subordinates, it is natural to do what should be done, and say what you see."

Chen Jing shook his head slightly, and said softly: "I'm afraid the Huaihe Navy will not let Ziheng see what he should see."

"And you, maybe you don't want to see what you really see."

The current Xiangguo looked calm, and said softly: "The truth in this world is true and false. Others have made up their minds to coax you, and no one can tell the truth."

Shen Yi seemed to understand what the little old man wanted to say. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Chen Jing, and asked, "Then what does Mr. Pingan think, what should I see in the Huaihe Navy?"

Chen Jing looked calm.

"Naturally, you will see what the court needs you to see."

This dumb fan hit here, and finally broke the mystery.

Master Shen was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "The lower officials are dull, they don't know what the imperial court needs the lower officials to see."

"Then I will tell you the truth."

Chen Jing lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said, "There are minor mistakes but no major ones."

"This is what the Huaihe Navy should look like."

Shen Yi frowned, and asked: "Xiangguo, is this what you mean, or what is meant by the meeting hall, or..."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"It has nothing to do with His Majesty."

Chen Jing said calmly, "Your Majesty's meaning has probably already been told to you, Ziheng. What the truth is telling you now is the meaning of the meeting hall."

"The truth has been discussed with other prime ministers, and they all have the same attitude."

The little old man stood up from his chair, looked at Shen Yi, and said indifferently: "The Huaihe Navy has made great contributions to defending the Huaihe River for so many years, and at this time, it is a troubled time, no matter whether they have any problems now or how big they are question."

"For the time being, it can only be a few minor problems."

Shen Yi took a deep breath and understood what the prime minister meant.

In other words, the meaning of the entire chamber.

Two words.

Be steady!

His Majesty the Emperor had just slapped Northern Qi in the face, and the five prime ministers in the meeting hall agreed that the two sides might fight at any time. Therefore, at this time, the meeting gave the prescription to stabilize the defense line of the Huaihe River.

That is to stabilize the Huaihe Navy.

They believe that the Huaihe Navy cannot move for the time being.

Master Shen lowered his head slightly and said: "Chen Xiang, what you said seems to be different from His Majesty's thoughts."

"It's not the same as being an official."

Chen Jing lowered his eyebrows and said: "As an official, you only need to be honest and follow the rules, but as a prime minister, sometimes you need some opinions and voices that are different from your majesty."

"Only in this way can I assist the emperor and correct the court."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and said again: "It seems that Xiangguo should tell the king directly, not the lower officials."

"The old man knows."

Chen Jing said with a smile: "This matter is too big. It shouldn't be on your shoulders, but it concerns the country."

Shut up your mother!
Master Shen was quite angry.

The five of you have opinions and ideas, so go tell the emperor!

If the emperor disagrees, you all stand in line and smash yourselves to death on that golden pillar in Ganlu Hall!
Frighten the emperor, let the emperor succumb to you, and accept your opinions!
What's the use of telling me?

Let me, a fourth-rank and fifth-rank official, stand between the emperor and the prime minister?
Really shameless!

Angry in his heart, Shen Yi still maintained the most basic sense. He sat on his chair, lowered his head slightly and said: "Mr. , I don’t understand, and I can’t understand.”

"This time I was ordered to go north to inspect the Huaihe Navy, and the officials will write what they see."

"But don't worry."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty knows it well, he won't write down what he sees in official documents, and he won't talk about it in the court meeting, but will report the matter in private to His Majesty and Zhongshu, and hand it over to the Secretary. Leave it to His Majesty and a few ministers to decide."

"At that time, His Majesty will discuss with the ministers how to deal with it, and then write down official documents according to the imperial court's wishes."

Having said that, Shen Yi looked up at Chen Jing, stood up, and bowed his hands in salute.

"What does Xiangguo think?"

Mr. Pingan sat in his seat, looking at the young man who respectfully clasped his fists in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

This young man is really amazing...

In a few words, he kicked the question back!
