Chapter 143: Li Xian's Opportunity

Zhu Qizhen naturally knew how much credit Chen Xun had in the cabinet.

To say that there is no credit at all is false.

But how much credit there is, but it is not real.

Although Zhou Chen did not live until the Ming Dynasty finally defeated the tile spur, Zhu Qizhen believed that the main credit was Zhou Chen.

It is because of Zhou Chen's financial reform that the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue has increased greatly, and if disaster relief is dug out, there will be 256 million stone grain and 134 million taels of silver every year.

It is precisely because of such financial support that Zhu Qizhen can use money to smash a victory.

Chen Xun is just inheriting Zhou Chen's work and presiding over general affairs.

Just talking about Chen Xun's merits before, it is definitely not enough for a hereditary title.

But if Chen Xun is willing to stand on Zhu Qizhen's side and promote the change. Zhu Qizhen was willing to buy Chen Xun with a hereditary and reckless title.

Because in Zhu Qizhen's view, changing the law is a more important thing than playing a tile spur.

If there is a change in the political ideology or system, it is impossible for all the reforms before Zhu Qizhen to last long, and everyone knows the four words of death and political rest.

The reason why Chen Xun was knighted when he was in the cabinet was because he didn't want to break the balance of the cabinet.

Although Zhu Qizhen is very optimistic about the Ming Dynasty, he also understands one thing, that is, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the Han Dynasty, during the Western Han Dynasty, non-marquis was not allowed to be the prime minister, which was supported by a huge military group.

But now, if Shoufu is allowed to become a national prince, it will make Shoufu and the following sergeants have a kind of separation, and Shousuke's position will not be stable.

Zhu Qizhen didn't say that it was okay, but Chen Xun made up his mind instead.

Chen Xun knows how valuable a hereditary title of reckless is, and it can even be said that it is the golden job bowl of the Chen family for generations to come. But the stakes are too great, and the risks are even greater.

Chen Xun said: "The ministers dare not be ashamed, they are all Your Majesty's saints, and the soldiers use their lives, how can the ministers have an inch of merit in the world?" Your Majesty said this again, and the minister could only abdicate and let the virtuous thank the world. ”

Zhu Qizhen only treated Chen Xun as polite, so he didn't say anything.

Although Chen Xun has already made up his mind to quit this circle of right and wrong, he is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty after all, not a casual petty official, he can do it if he wants to.

He had to be arranged.

Chen Xun said some trivial things to Zhu Qizhen again, and then retreated.

Zhu Qizhen recalled the confrontation between him and Chen Xun, and even secretly rejoiced in his heart, and said secretly: "Fortunately, today's first assistant is Chen Xun, otherwise this matter is really difficult to handle." ”

The crown prince asked on the side, "Father, what kind of person is Qiu Jun?" ”

Zhu Qizhen was slightly stunned and said, "It's a great sage." ”

Zhu Qizhen was also surprised by Qiu Jun's appearance, he didn't know that Qiu Jun was the first person in the Ming Dynasty to learn from history, and since Qiu Jun, there are many people who advocate practical learning, that is

Qiu Jun started.

However, many of Qiu Jun's ideas are secretly in line with the thoughts of later generations.

It can even be said that the monarch and the minister are compatible, comparable to Zhu Qizhen and Yu Qian.

In fact, although the relationship between Zhu Qizhen and Yu Qian is good, and the relationship is also very good, but in terms of political opinions, the two sides look like each other.

It is too different from Zhu Qizhen's thoughts.

If Yu Qian went out, at the beginning, it was still Yang Pu's means, and later it was Zhu Qizhen who felt this potential conflict.

And Qiu Jun is different.

In fact, Qiu Jun is also a standard believer in science.

But Zhu Qizhen doesn't care about these, as long as Qiu Jun has a lot of thoughts, giving Zhu Qizhen room to play. It added an ideological basis to Zhu Qizhen's reform.

With such an ideological foundation, what Zhu Qizhen will become in the future has nothing to do with Qiu Jun.

It's like reviving Marx underground, can he understand today's communism?

But it does not affect the position of Marx.

The same is true for Qiu Jun.

When Zhu Qizhen chose Qiu Jun's thoughts. So no matter what Qiu Jun thinks, he must be a well-known thinker in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, it is Daehyun.

Chen Xun returned to the cabinet, put aside all the official documents in his hand, and fell into deep thought. He silently weighed the pros and cons, sighed, and finally decided to return, which was his best ending.

Chen Xun understands very well that compared with the previous first assistant, his authority is the weakest, and he almost completely relies on His Majesty to gain a foothold, that is to say, if the emperor still has some scruples about the appointment and dismissal of other first assistants, but if he is dismissed, it is estimated that there will be no reaction inside and outside.

In other words, when he does not obey His Majesty's wishes, his position as the first assistant will enter the countdown.

If this is the case, it is better to take the first step and learn your own interests.

After Chen Xun completely let go of the temptation of fame, he became clear.

He secretly said in his heart: "No matter what law Your Majesty changes, now is not the right time. ”

Although Chen Xun's talent is lacking compared to Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu, Cao Nai, and Zhou Chen, he is also the top figure in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have entered the cabinet in competition with so many people and became the first assistant of the cabinet.

He has presided over the affairs of the cabinet for many years, and it seems that he has not made any great achievements, but he has not made any major mistakes.

He has a thorough understanding of the internal and external situation of the Ming Dynasty.

One piece and one gallop is the truth of doing things.

In order to fight the tile thorn, the emperor was in too much of a hurry.

Especially the tea horses, cleaning up the canal banknotes is to destroy North Korea and exterminate the two classes of nobles, and they are too anxious, and many things are stains in detail.

Almost everything at that time was in the service of the Great War. A lot of things are out of the question.

You must know that the war, although it is the soldiers in front and the thorns are big

The army fought to the death, not to say that other officials in the Ming Dynasty were idle, in order to support the front line, many people in Yanbian were requisitioned on their backs.

If it is said that the Ming Dynasty is a person, he is gritting his teeth at the moment, holding his breath and fighting with a person named Tile Thorn, and now he has beaten Tile Thorn down with one punch.

This breath was relieved.

At this time, if the emperor immediately wanted to let the Ming enter another battlefield, it was not an appropriate time.

However, Chen Xun also understood that even if he said to the emperor like this, the emperor would not change his disposition of him. It's better to give this favor to the next first assistant.

Chen Xun hopes that the next first assistant will not be Liu Dingzhi, but Li Xian.

So, he called Li Xian over.

Tell me about today's events.

Li Xian suddenly frowned, and said, "Your Majesty wants to change the law?" ”

Li Xian's political sensitivity is no worse than Chen Xun's.

Chen Xun said: "It's hard to ask about the heavens, but I'm ready to say goodbye to my hometown." ”

Li Xian was taken aback and said: "Now is not the time to change the law at all, it is necessary for the first assistant to preside over the overall situation, how can the first assistant say it?" ”

Chen Xun said: "There may be people who can stop His Majesty, but it is not me, I am rumored to be the three decrees outside, since this is the case, I can only be the three decrees." Now I can't do it anymore, no matter what the reason, I have to go to the position. ”

"The world's major affairs depend on you."

When Li Xian heard this, his heart was both excited and heavy.

Li Xian knew that this was an opportunity.

A chance to soar.

Chen Xun retired, and the first assistant of the cabinet must be added.

At the same time, those who want to retreat want Meng Ying and Wang Ji. In this way, the popular candidates for the first assistant are estimated to be him and Liu Dingzhi.

How should Li Xian bypass Liu Dingzhi to determine the position of first assistant?

It's a good idea.

Since he ascended the throne today, although he has always paid attention to the right, he has not been disobedient to people. As long as he can persuade His Majesty to change his course, then he will be able to defeat Liu Dingzhi with his persuasion.

However, persuasion is never easy. Especially for the most noble person in the world, this is simply a batch of dragon scales. Although Zhu Qizhen has always created a relaxed political environment. It's not that once you don't get what you say, you won't pay the price.

And Chen Xun told Li Xian today that Li Xian had a head start, but this opportunity will not always exist.

The news that Chen Xun is leaving cannot be hidden forever.

So, there wasn't much time for Li Xian.

Success or failure is within these two days.

Thinking of Zhu Qizhen's importance to Liu Dingzhi, Li Xian estimated that if he didn't do anything, he might not be able to surpass Liu Dingzhi to become the first assistant of the cabinet.

And Li Xian and Liu Dingzhi are not much different in age. It is likely that Li Xian will not be able to contact Shoufu for the rest of his life.
