Chapter 301
On the morning of this day, Yan Jinxuan and the three princes, Gu Bing, a cabinet scholar, Du Chenghuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Shen Jiahui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhou Junpu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, Long Qingyun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Chengze, the left imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, Fu Dapeng, the right imperial envoy of the Imperial Palace, and Lu Gonggong, the chief of ceremonies, met in the box on the second floor of the Guanghua Lin Jing Restaurant.
Together, they discussed ways to deal with Yan Shichong's operation.
In the end, most people supported the province of Zhongshu.
"Think about the role it played in the past dynasties. No matter how long it lasts, we should at least try our best? Anyway, I can't do it now, at least not now, and watch it get scrapped. Zhou Junpu said excitedly.
One less ministry is one less coalition of powers, which is a big loss for the loyal ministers.
Zhou Junpu didn't understand why Yan Jinxuan was so calm.
Isn't it so indifferent to one's own job?
However, after thinking about it, I felt that with Yan Jinxuan's ability, I didn't have to worry about finding a platform to show it, so I was a little more settled.
"Okay, let's keep it first." Yan Jinxuan said.
So Yan Jinxuan immediately came up with the second set of countermeasures he had thought of last night.
The crowd agreed with this plan.
Since this matter was confirmed, everyone did not stay any longer, so they got up one after another to bid farewell to the third prince and Yan Jinxuan.
After everyone else left, Yan Jinxuan said to the third prince: "The direct reason why Yan Shichong dealt with Zhongshu Province is because I am there, so if I continue to be there, they will definitely not give up." ”
"You want to leave Zhongshu Province?" The third prince hurriedly asked.
"Yes. From the perspective of the overall situation, it would be more conducive to management to divide the functions and powers of the Zhongshu Province into the cabinet and the six ministries. ”
Then he really pushed himself to the forefront. The third prince couldn't help but say in his heart.
The third prince looked at Yan Jinxuan and asked, "Why didn't you directly divide it into the cabinet or the six ministries?" ”
"Given the nature of the Cabinet and the six ministries, the assigning to only one ministry would over-inflate the powers of that ministry and would be harmful rather than beneficial. If it is divided into two departments, it can play the role of mutual checks and balances. Yan Jinxuan replied.
The third prince immediately understood.
"Makes sense. Do you have a desired destination? The third prince asked with concern.
"During the period when Yan Shichong vigorously applied for the abolition of Zhongshu Province, Zai Xia will not leave Zhongshu Province for the time being." Yan Jinxuan replied again.
"It won't take long to abolish a ministry, and if the emperor agrees, it can be completed within a few days." The third prince said.
"As mentioned in the second set of solutions just proposed, the province should still exist for at least a year." Yan Jinxuan said.
He has enough reason and ability to keep Zhongshu Province, so he also has enough ability to decide when it will be abolished.
He is always prepared with both hands.
"Well, then I'm much more relieved." The third prince laughed.
The third prince thought to himself: Looking at the Ming Kingdom, I really haven't seen a second person who can be as good at dealing with emergencies as Yan Jinxuan and always maintain a good attitude.
Therefore, he looked at Yan Jinxuan with admiration and asked, "Do you want to go to Yuhualin to practice swords together in the afternoon?" ”
He knew that Yan Jinxuan's swordsmanship was excellent, and he wanted to take this opportunity to have a good fight with him.
"I'm afraid it won't work this afternoon, but I've already asked my mother and fiancée to go to the Dayin Pagoda to light the lights. Why don't we make another appointment? Yan Jinxuan asked with a smile.
I don't know why. As soon as he heard Yan Jinxuan call Su Shanyun his fiancée, the hearts of the three princes would be faintly sour. So he asked in a strange tone, "Did Miss Su come to your house?"
"Uh-huh." Yan Jinxuan nodded.
The third prince smiled and didn't say anything more.
…………………
Situ Yuan strode through the spacious courtyard of the Yan Mansion and went straight to Yan Shichong's study.
Yan Shichong was talking with the two doormen, and when he saw him coming, he immediately signaled the two doormen to retreat.
"Your Excellency. Zhu Min and Zhu Yundong of Zhongshu Province refused to help us with this when they died. Situ Yuan gasped and reported.
Because things didn't work out. His expression was a little uneasy and embarrassed.
Yan Shichong was shocked. But he quickly controlled his emotions again, and asked in a deep voice, "Your subordinates didn't reveal my purpose and our purpose, did they?" ”
"How dare you reveal? Just say that if they are willing to help with this, they can get a lot of money. But as soon as they heard that they were going to do something in the emperor's edict, they immediately waved their hands and left. My men followed and persuaded me all the way, but they didn't pay attention to it. Situ Yuan said.
Yan Shichong's brows furrowed.
Didn't you say that those two people were greedy for money? Why can't they impress them with such a large amount of money now? Do they know something?
Yan Shichong immediately became vigilant. But when he thought about it, he thought it was unlikely. Because this matter is deployed extremely secretively. It is impossible for outsiders to know in such a short period of time.
"It's weird!" Yan Shichong said.
"It's strange to be here, but no matter what the people below say, they won't help." Situ Yuan said helplessly.
It seems that the internal cohesion of Zhongshu Province is higher than I imagined! Yan Shichong frowned again.
So Yan Shichong immediately summoned the ten subordinates who discussed the matter together yesterday to reunite.
"Since it's not dark enough, let's just come in the open." Yan Tong, the secretary of the ministry, said.
Everyone looked up at him, and he explained: "Directly propose to the emperor to abolish Zhongshu Province." ”
"Why?" Wei Yuanting immediately asked.
"Exaggerate their drawbacks." Yan Tong answered.
So a group of people immediately worked together to find all kinds of wrongs in Zhongshu Province, and in an hour, they listed fifty reasons.
"It's not enough for us to put it forward, we have to work with several departments to raise it." Yan Shichong said that he began to consider which departments to unite.
Now there are as many as a dozen departments under his wing, but he is not worried about finding no one to support. It's just that if you find the wrong person, it will cause a big deal, so you have to choose carefully.
After some discussion, it was decided that the three Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Criminal Department, as well as the general envoy of the Department of General Administration and the Dali Temple of Dali Temple, came forward to support.
"Tomorrow's morning will definitely be lively!" Yan Tong said expectantly.
"Let's wait to see Yan Jinxuan and Zhang Fengji's surprised expressions." Another said triumphantly.
Yan Shichong shouted coldly: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet." ”
The crowd was silenced.
…………………
After bidding farewell to the third prince, Yan Jinxuan immediately hurried home.
It was past noon when I arrived home.
Seeing him come back, Su Shanyun and Mrs. Lu hurriedly went to the kitchen to give him lunch.
Meals are ready and ready to eat as soon as they are hot, so they will be served in no time.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Yan Jinxuan ran out of lunch.
"Would you like to go and rest for a while?" Su Shanyun asked thoughtfully.
Yan Jinxuan looked at the sky and said, "Don't rest, don't come back very late." ”
"It's fine." Su Shanyun nodded.
So the three of them went out.
They were followed by eighteen attendants, a grandmother, and two maids. (To be continued......)
