Chapter 197: Separation of powers

Ling Yun frowned and said, "He's right?" Am I wrong? ”

"yes!"

"It's not!"

Qin Siyi and I opened our mouths at the same time, but we had different answers.

I couldn't help laughing, and quipped at Qin Siyi: "You're good, what Brother Feiling said is right?" You look like a little daughter-in-law who has been wronged but doesn't say it......"

Ling Yun opened his mouth and said, "Xiaoqing! ”

Qin Siyi blushed and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

Something seemed to come out of my mind, but it was like a meteor in the sky, passing by, and I wanted to think about it again, but there was no trace.

I ignored it, and said, "Brother Ling, are you wrong?" How many people have been displaced by the disaster in Yunzhou? Didn't you lament that the officials were not clear and made the people suffer? Why are you so opinionated now? Isn't what Xi Xuan said wrong? ”

"However, Yunzhou is an important town, can't we just replace the Thorn History with our own people? Now that you are planning that great event, how can you let it go in vain when you have this opportunity?" Ling Yun explained, but his voice seemed to be much quieter than before.

"Brother Ling, I'm sure to let Yang Shuhuai stand on our side, I'm ...... I'm really sure. Qin Siyi said hurriedly.

Ling Yun faced him and said coldly: "You don't have to give me a guarantee, you can tell Xiaoqing yourself." Since Xiaoqing thinks you are doing the right thing, then I have nothing to say. Then he sat down and drank his tea, and said no more.

I smiled and said, "Okay, Xixuan is also a complement now." It's not appropriate for him to be called around like this. If Brother Ling has any orders, just tell him well. Besides, now he is not going well in the court, although the emperor supports him. After all, there are still a bunch of old people in the court, and it is not easy for him, and some things can't be done too obviously. The more at this time, the more impeccable people must be used, in order to appear that Xixuan is fair and selfless, and to make those old ministers have nothing to say. ”

Qin Siyi looked up at me gratefully and said, "Those who know me." Miss also. ”

I couldn't help but smile and said, "I know you, but have you ever thought about how to deal with it later?" Now you are struggling, and you can't oppress people with the emperor's order in everything. You're not a good adjunct. ”

Qin Siyi nodded and said: "Now that Yin Xiang and the four princes are united, Yin Xiang occupies the two most important parts, and the other two are nominally under my control, except for the Ministry of Officials, because Li Shangshu is the grandfather's old subordinate." At the same time, he worked under his grandfather. In addition to being loyal to me, everyone in the other ministries is in disobedience, which is very rare. I'm being careful now, for fear that something might go wrong and someone might get caught. ”

I nodded and said, "I understand what they are doing now, so you can only get more Shangshu and Servant levels on your side." ”

Qin Siyi's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and said, "How easy is it?" I have shown them all kindness, but they have not come in. Although they are not all moving closer to the side of the four princes, they are obviously divided into two factions. Four princes on one side, nine princes on the other. The Tu Shangshu of the Ministry of War is the Nine Kings faction, and the Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is the Four Kings faction, I think it may be difficult to get support if I don't express which side I support. ”

I deliberately said in a vague way: "Actually, if you want more support from Shangshu Shixuan, you don't necessarily have to win over the existing people. ”

Qin Siyi was puzzled and said, "What does Miss mean?" Is it possible to change people now? ”

Ling Yun also seemed to be very interested in this, holding the teacup in his hand, leaning forward slightly, listening very seriously.

"Now there are four Shangshu in the four departments, more than a dozen attendants, how many people are on your side?" I didn't answer him, and asked to myself.

Qin Siyi said with a bitter face: "Shangshu is only one person, Li Youmin, but he has not been in power for a long time, and his foundation is not deep, so it can be said that he has not yet entered the circle of Lao Shangshu." Everyone else is ...... There were only two or three of them on my side, and the rest were superficial, and they might climb the wall as long as there was any wind or grass. ”

I nodded and said, "Reasonable." Then if half of the Shangshu supports you......"

"Then surely the situation is different, but now it is much more difficult to win the support of another person." Qin Siyi said thoughtfully.

I smiled lightly and said, "Since the remaining three can't move, why not add two?" ”

Qin Siyi's eyes seemed to light up, and I continued: "I told you before that the division of government affairs in the court is actually not reasonable. For example, the Ministry of War is in charge of both military orders and criminal law, while the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of both household registration and project construction. If you can change these four to six or more, you can naturally put more people who support you, and at the same time, you can also straighten out the government. In the final analysis, the previous disaster in Yunzhou was not because there were too many household matters and too many complicated matters, and there was no time to take care of the water conservancy project in Yunzhou, which led to the opportunity for Yu Chunhai. You can make a summary statement about this disaster, and then use it as a basis to completely change the pattern of today's ministries! ”

For a long time, I didn't hear Qin Siyi and Ling Yun's reactions, and I looked at them a little strangely. Qin Siyi was okay, with a look of admiration, but there was affection in Ling Yun's eyes. I looked away and deliberately ignored it.

After a long time, I heard Ling Yun say: "I finally understand why Xiangye spent so much time on Xiaoqing, and gave 'Yunshiji' to Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing...... You can afford it. ”

Qin Siyi also seemed to be very excited, and said, "Miss, you are too powerful, I'm going to make an excerpt!" "I'm leaving.

I grabbed him and said, "You're going now?" Then let me ask you, who are you going to recommend to be the new Shangshu and Shiyun? ”

Qin Siyi was stunned, and I continued: "You must find candidates during this time, and think about the reasons for choosing them, then as soon as you make a decision, you must let the emperor decide on the spot." If other people don't know about this situation, then they can't choose someone better than you on the spot, so they can succeed in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if this matter drags on for a long time, those old foxes will choose their people, and you will only make wedding clothes for others. ”

Qin Siyi said suddenly: "Thank you Miss for reminding me, I almost made a big mistake." I started thinking about it, and when everything was ready, I went back to the fold, and I made sure to hit it right in one hit. ”

I then advised: "Before you do it, this matter must be kept secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better the effect." ”

Qin Siyi nodded and said, "Miss, don't worry, I will be careful." ”

I smiled and looked up at Lan Ling, who immediately understood and gave the bowl of lotus seed soup. I turned to Ling Yun and smiled, "Brother Ling, Lan Ling didn't know that you were also here, so I would immediately ask her to go back and serve another bowl." With a smile, he pulled Lan Ling out of Chaoyun Pavilion. (To be continued......)
