Chapter 11: The bait you can't refuse

"It's not necessarily a good way, arrest Qian Zhengkun tomorrow, you have to find someone else to do what he is responsible for, preferably from the Administration Office. Also, the Administration Office has to choose a leader. ”

Liang Jia glanced at Ying Yue and understood her intentions.

Sure enough, at the court meeting the next day, the impeachment of Qian Zhengkun broke out like a typhoon.

"Qian Aiqing, tell me what's going on?" Liang Jia turned to Qian Zhengkun, who was expressionless. Liang Jia was also very surprised by this guy's behavior, and he wanted him to mess up the situation, but in the end, this guy killed the situation.

"The emperor asked his ministers to preside over the relocation of the capital. There was no one under the ministers, so they could only be drawn from various yamen. But it doesn't matter if these people don't obey the order, when they come to the minister, they still disobey the order and refuse to obey the order. The minister issued an order in the morning to let everyone go to the various yamen to make preparations for the relocation of the capital, but except for two people, everyone else was indifferent. ”

"So, they don't pay attention to my holy decree?" Liang Jia asked.

"They only listen to a few of our officials in the court." After Qian Zhengkun finished speaking, he looked at the four ministers in front of him.

Liang Jia also glanced at the four ministers of the Administration Department.

Liu Zhongzhi, who is in charge of the military department and the official department, has the appearance of a handsome old man, with the greatest strength, and he seems to be some distant cousin of the queen mother, with a respected status.

Ge Mingxuan, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, and Hanlin Academy, is sanctimonious, with long hair and chest. This guy is a famous Confucian in the Great Liang Kingdom, and his reputation is very high among Shilin.

Xu Ziping, who is in charge of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate, looks the youngest, white-faced and beardless, and he is Xu Yinghyuk's cousin.

Zheng Yechuan, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, is short in stature, like a little old man in a farmer's house. This little old man has the least power on the surface, and Liang Jia doesn't know much about it.

The four guys saw the emperor's gaze, glanced at each other, and did not speak. It is inappropriate to defend at this time, after all, Qian Zhengkun did not name him.

"Even so, you can't kill the ministers of the DPRK and China."

"The minister is reckless." Qian Zhengkun lowered his head.

"Someone came, put Lord Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, into the prison of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate selected suitable candidates to interrogate the case of Lord Qian's unauthorized murder of the ministers of the imperial court. This case will be handed over to Xu Aiqing. ”

Xu Ziping hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

After Qian Zhengkun was taken away, the condemnation of Qian Zhengkun in the court was temporarily extinguished.

Liang Jia spoke again and said: "Now that Lord Qian has been arrested, the matter of moving the capital cannot be delayed......

"Your Majesty, didn't the thieves retreat?" Liu Zhongzhi interrupted Liang Jia's words.

"Retreated? Can Liu Aiqing guarantee that the thieves will not come back again? Since there is no guarantee, the matter of moving the capital must be done. Since many ministers are very resistant to Qian Zhengkun presiding over the relocation of the capital, they should send a highly respected minister to do it. ”

The ministers below looked at each other, and they all hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear that Liang Jia would click on him.

Liang Jia glanced at the four ministers of the Administration Office who had their heads down, pulled the corners of their mouths, and said, "I think that the matter of moving the capital should be handled by the Administration Office." Zheng Aiqing, do I think this matter is more suitable for you? ”

Zheng Yechuan was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Liang Jia in disbelief.

"Yes. Zheng Aiqing, I will now appoint you as the leader of the leading group for moving the capital, and you must complete the preparatory work for moving the capital within seven days. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are in charge of many affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and the ministers are ......"

"In this case, the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households will be decided by their respective scholars, and you will be in charge of moving the capital now."

"The Emperor's ......"

"That's it!" Liang Jia naturally wouldn't give him a chance to continue.

"Yes." Zheng Yechuan was very depressed, if it weren't for the fact that a big court meeting was being held now, he would have wanted to open his mouth to scold.

"By the way, does the military department have a front-line battle report?" Liang Jia asked towards Liu Zhongzhi.

"Back to the emperor, Ping Nanbo has not reported the battle today. But there was a war report from the south. Zhao Ximei, the governor of Jiangnan, led the army to retreat to Hengshui. Zhao Ximei came to report that she would swear to guard Hengshui to the death. It has been three or four days since the battle report arrived in the capital, and at this time, the minister did not know what the situation of Hengshui City was killed. ”

Hengshui is a natural barrier to the fertile land in the southeast of the Great Liang Kingdom, if King Qing's army crosses Hengshui, the land in the southeast can fall into the hands, and the tax system of the Great Liang Kingdom will be hit like never before.

"Where's the north side?" Liang Jia continued to write.

"The 100,000 troops of the Maohan tribe have been attacking Jingshan Pass, and the Jingshan Pass guards will not have a war report for the time being, and it is estimated that Jingshan Pass should not have fallen. As for the Blue Wolf Tribe and the Mao Han Tribe, they were not of the same mind, and the 100,000 troops of the Green Wolf Tribe plundered everywhere outside the pass without knocking on the pass. ”

"Liu Aiqing knows the wars in various places well, and he is really a pillar of the country." Liang Jia said approvingly.

"It's the duty of a minister."

"If everyone can fulfill their duty as ministers, then why is my Great Liang Country like this. By the way, I am going to set up a first and auxiliary minister in the administration office to lead the government, what do you think? ”

As soon as Liang Jia's words fell, the ministers below immediately clamored. If the Governor's Office has a First Auxiliary Minister, then the First Auxiliary Minister will be in charge of the government and will not be in charge of specific affairs, so doesn't it mean that there will be one more person in the Administrator's Office.

The system of the administration office has been implemented in the Great Liang State for more than 200 years, and becoming the Minister of Administration is the ultimate goal of countless scholars and officials in the Great Liang State. Therefore, the eyes of those who hope to become ministers of government immediately become hot.

Liu Zhongzhi listened to the discussion behind him, and his heart was also extremely conflicted. If the emperor's change is implemented, he has a great chance of becoming the first minister, so he is really a supreme minister.

But he can also clearly see that the emperor's step is to divide power, mixing sand into the administration, intending to cultivate a faction belonging to the emperor and seize power.

He knew this very clearly, and if he wanted to oppose it, he was reluctant to be small, and it would be worth the loss to let the ministers be dissatisfied with him or even deviate from him. But if he doesn't object, the emperor's behavior of mixing sand and dividing power is a very dangerous signal for him.

Liu Zhongzhi glanced at Ge Mingxuan and found that this old guy actually looked like he had nothing to do with himself, did he also want to be the first assistant minister of the Administration Department?

For the first time, Liu Zhongzhi developed a serious distrust of his ally, who had worked together for more than ten years.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinions?"

"Your Majesty. The minister agreed. Zheng Yechuan of the Administration Office was the first to come forward.

"The minister agrees." Zhang Renyi, the secretary of Dali Temple, also came out to agree.

Next, more than two dozen ministers came out to endorse Liang Jia's reform proposals, but many remained silent. Liang Jia knew that these people either didn't care, or they were allies of Liu Zhongzhi, Ge Mingxuan, and Xu Ziping, and the leaders didn't speak, so they naturally didn't want to express their opinions.

"If the other ministers have no opinion and do not object, then the matter is settled."

"Your Majesty, the ministers are against it!" A voice rang out suddenly.
