My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 23

Facing the enthusiasm of the two Shangshu, Xu Jingchang remained indifferent, "Xia Shangshu, Ru Yu and you are also our own people!"

Xia Yuanji was taken aback for a moment, "Yes, but not when he made a fatal mistake."

This one is really sincere, Xu Jingchang snorted, "You guys are throwing away like shoes!"

Jian Yi coughed slightly, "He's still very different from us."

Xu Jingchang wanted to laugh more and more, "I am more different from you, even in civil and martial arts. I am not stupid, how can I not understand? You are watching His Majesty's main hall beat Ruzhen so hard that your head is blown out, and you are scared in your heart , I want to find someone to stand in front of you, to shield you from the wind and rain. But, the thunder and rain are all the grace of heaven, even if the thunder smashes you to pieces, it is the grace of the emperor, so I will not get involved. "

Xu Jingchang stood up directly, "Jian Shangshu, if you really treat me as your own, you can give me a low grade in the evaluation and let me go home to inherit the title. This court is meaningless. I waved my hand, It’s too boring to let the two officials go down at the same time. It’s better to go home and go fishing.”

If Yao Guangxiao is here, he must know what kind of tricks Xu Jingchang is playing, but these two are still inexperienced after all, Xia Yuanji is still persuading: "Xu Tongzheng, we have no malicious intentions, and you don't want those imperial ministers in the cabinet to do whatever they want?"

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 actual prime minister. No matter what their rank is, as long as they can control your majesty's thoughts and carry out government affairs on behalf of the emperor, they will It is the center of Ming Dynasty. Both of you can only be in charge of one, and they can control the overall situation. Sooner or later, you will all fail, so it’s better not to worry about it. It’s best to surrender, ask for protection, and be a cabinet dog. It’s the best ending for the six books.”

After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he swaggered and walked outside, leaving the two ministers behind.

Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi's faces turned black with anger, this bastard really deserves a beating, if it weren't for your father and your aunt's face, we must impeach you for being arrogant and domineering!

But after getting angry, Xia Yuanji said worriedly: "Brother, although this kid's words are not pleasant, the truth is true. Yang Rong, Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Yang Shiqi, these people surround the emperor, and they will not leave for a moment. Talking about government affairs and criticizing government affairs is indeed more like a prime minister than us."

Jian Yi's face was dark, and his thoughts were deeper, "Now these people are only fifth-rank bachelors, just for consultation. The result of their discussion, we have six ministers to nod. These people are still far away from the prime minister. away."

Xia Yuanji said with a bitter face: "It's very far away, but Xu Jingchang is right. They can participate in the overall situation and can say a few words about any government affairs. In the final analysis, we are only in charge of the affairs of the headquarters. When it comes to the scope of intervention, we will It’s a big difference. You and I can still resist and fight with reason. But the other ministers and ministers will inevitably be robbed of power by these people, and as time goes by, there will be endless troubles.”

Jian Yi sullenly, frowning, thinking hard, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Zhongshu Province, leaving a huge power vacuum, when he was alive, he could still fill the vacancy with his super strong spiritual head, but now he must restore Normal.

In fact, don't think that officials can't do it. If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't abolished the Ministry of Education, and there were important ministers at the level of the prime minister, at least Zhu Yunqi could make fewer mistakes, and Zhu Di's Jingnan would not be so easy.

In the end, it was Zhu Yunqi and his gang who had no experience in ruling the country, but suddenly took over the power of the court. As a result, a good card was abruptly lost, and Zhu Di was pushed onto the dragon chair.

This is Sir Humphrey may not be good, but he is much better than the golden-haired lettuce who doesn't look like a gentleman.

"Nowadays, there are six ministries and nine ministers, and the entire imperial court can resist the cabinet. There is only one general secretary." Jian Yi said in a deep voice: "The Emperor Taizu said that government affairs are like water, so they need to be always open. That's why the establishment of the General Secretary Political envoys. What will happen if we speak up and put all the cabinet ministers under the Secretary of General Administration?"

Xia Yuanji's heart moved slightly, "If this happens, the Secretary of the General Administration will really become the prime minister, and it is not our blessing. What's more, Xu Jingchang is more able to toss around than those few ministers. I am afraid that something big will happen .”

Jian Yi waved his hand, "You can't look at it that way, Xu Jingchang told the truth, he has a noble title in his family, and he is in charge of the General Secretary, that is, for a while, it is not difficult to depose him, and it is impossible for subsequent courtiers to learn from him. On the contrary, there are cabinet scholars, the Imperial Academy has eighty if not one hundred ministers, and there are so many educated people in the world staring at them, and the imperial examination held every three years, sooner or later, will turn the cabinet into a real prime minister."

The two chatted and talked, and they agreed that Xu Jingchang was only a small problem, and the cabinet was the serious problem.

Xia Yuanji said: "The last imperial meeting, we have already opposed the supervisory officials of the General Administration Department, and now it is suddenly changed, I am afraid it is inappropriate!"

Jian Yi thought for a while, "How about this? I will write a letter of advice. The six ministries and nine ministers will go to the Secretary of General Administration every ten days to discuss government affairs, discuss matters, and coordinate and plan major events. The Ministry of Officials will take the lead and the Secretary of General Administration will preside over it."

As soon as this remark came out, Xia Yuanji was overjoyed, Gao!

The six ministers alone do not take advantage of the cabinet, but when the six are put together and can communicate with each other, they are not afraid of the cabinet.

Moreover, it was placed in the General Administration Department in name, which was regarded as giving Xu Jingchang a little sweetness, but in fact it was presided over by the Ministry of Officials.

Through this ten-day meeting of the General Administration Department, the position of the six ministries will be consolidated, and government affairs will be better implemented, and there will be an account to His Majesty, so that both the country and the body can be sought.

Jian Yi's skill can be seen.

"Brother wrote the letter, and I will follow. His Majesty is still hesitating at the moment, and he doesn't know who to entrust the government affairs to. As long as we carefully persuade, it may not be impossible."

The two reached an agreement, and the entire civil service system was put into operation.

Except for the war-damaged Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, the other four ministries, together with the Inspectorate, Dali Temple, and Honglu Temple, are all for the purpose of actively offering advice and suggestions, persuading Zhu Di not to engage in the cabinet. Enough is enough, as long as the big guys discuss it in the General Administration Department, it will be fine.

Their actions soon alarmed some other people, namely the Imperial Academy, the Imperial College, Zhan Shifu, and the Six Branches Hall... Yes, these yamen are the traditional Qingshui yamen, with low rank, little power, and hard life.

There is no way out for promotion yet.

Zhu Di selected personnel from among the ministers, entered the cabinet, and assisted the emperor.

There is no doubt that it is their best promotion path.

Don't let Liu Bu succeed.

Don't look at the low grade of this group of people, but they are better in numbers.

For example, when reviewing Hu Yan, the Imperial Academy directly pointed out that if the proposal of the Ministry of Officials is followed, it is tantamount to turning the General Secretary into a government affairs hall. phase system.

It is tantamount to violating the ancestral system and must not be agreed.

When he wrote the letter, it immediately attracted countless echoes.

Xu Jingchang was in the Department of General Administration every day, watching the memorials of the quarrel with Le Diandian, one group supported Jian Yi, and the other supported Hu Yan.

"It's good to quarrel, the more noisy the more fun. Give it all to His Majesty, let His Majesty worry about it."

Xu Jingchang crossed his legs, as if he was the most entertaining person in the dynasty.

If you don't fight, where can I watch the show?
"I was... Wollongong... a casual person..."

He also hummed.

When Xu Jingchang was happy, Yao Guangxiao came.

Xu Jingchang was not surprised either, "Master, you want to go vegetarian again? I'm in a good mood, so I don't need you to do anything, I'll treat you."

Yao Guangxiao nodded. This time, he prepared eighteen dishes and filled the whole table.

"Xu Tongzheng, why don't you use me, but I want to tell you a good thing."

"What good thing?" Xu Jingchang asked puzzled.

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "That's how it is. His Highness sent a memorial in Beiping to remember Uncle and ask His Majesty to grant you the title of Marquis of Wuyang."

Is it a prince?
Xu Jingchang was taken aback for a moment, he has an official position!

Is it possible to go home?
Yao Guangxiao held a piece of pork ribs between his arms, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty not only agrees, but also grants you the title of Crown Prince and Taibao, and the general administrator remains the same."

Xu Jingchang was even more surprised. Is there such a good thing?

"By the way, His Majesty also agrees that the six divisions and nine ministers will preside over the ten-day meeting with the highest-ranking one."

Xu Jingchang was dumbfounded, and after a while he murmured: "Those ministers are all second grade, right?"

"That's right, only you are Cong Yipin." The old monk said with a smile.

　Xiao Xu's title has been obtained, please ask for recommendation tickets and rewards, follow up... Continue to stir up...
