Chapter IX Cabinet Affairs

In the side hall of Chongzheng Palace, Lu Ning was still thinking about the situation of fighting the landlord with Gui'er and Wu'er, and couldn't help but smile.

After all, he didn't want the two of them to feel that he was going to leave angrily in the end, so as not to make the two of them feel uneasy.

In front of him, Zhao Pu considered the words and told him what was not quite appropriate at the latest cabinet meeting.

Regardless of whether Lu Ning is in the capital or not, the current cabinet members rarely see the Son of Heaven.

Today is an exception, the Prime Minister Zhao Pu, the privy envoy Guo Chong, the chief official of the Three Political Yuan, Wei Renpu, the chief official of the Three Political Yuan, Si Chao, the commander of the Gate, Lu Qingyu, the chief official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, the chief official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and Liu Wensuo, the head of the Hanlin Academy, were summoned by the Son of Heaven.

There are more than 20 people in the cabinet, in addition to these seven people, there are two deputy envoys of the Privy Council, Yushi Tai Yushi Zhongcheng, six Shangshu, Dali Siqing, the chief official of the Commercial and Taxation Institute, and several respected ministers, such as the old lady of medicine, Fu Yanqing, etc.

However, retired ministers such as Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Fu Yanqing are more like an honor to be "Cabinet Ministers", such as Mrs. Yao, who has been in Qingzhou before she was seriously ill and has never participated in cabinet deliberations.

The seven "cabinet ministers" present here today are undoubtedly the most important members of the cabinet.

It was also a big incident that Zhao Pu and the others asked to see the Son of Heaven no matter what.

At this time, Zhao Puzheng was talking about Fu Yanqing, this old gentleman, the sixth daughter married Si Chao's eldest son, and then also moved to live in the capital.

Fu Yanqing's actions seem to have broken a certain tacit understanding between several of them who were awarded the "Cabinet General Administration" between the old ministers of the former dynasty and the new dynasty.

Of course, in fact, this tacit understanding is just a misunderstanding of Lu Ning by the courtiers outside, some political affairs, Lu Ning really wants to hear the thoughts of these old ministers who have gone through several dynasties and have a high prestige, but from the outside world, these old ministers of the former dynasty should know how to advance and retreat, and the emperor gave you a very high status, but he just wants you to behave in a proper manner.

Although Zhao Pu is still calm, his words are not very polite, and when it comes to Fu Yanqing, he even uses the adjective "Longzhong Laoweng", and he is obviously very disgusted by Fu Yanqing's behavior.

The new chapter of the "Conscription Law" is based on Lu Ning's thinking, and the cabinet revised the provisions of the "Conscription Law".

The "Conscription Law" stipulates that all families with many men, every third family, have the obligation to set aside one ding, and spend one month of leisure time every year to participate in reserve training. It would be better to be able to replenish the source of troops in wartime.

And Fu Yanqing said that this method is easy to turn into a tyrannical conscription, and also said that he and Si Chao have been arguing for a long time, and they can't convince Si Chao, so they can only come by themselves, hoping that their words can be heard by the heavens.

"What do you guys think?" After Zhao Pu finished speaking, Lu Ning looked at the remaining six cabinet ministers.

"Forget it!" Lu Ning waved his hand again, "Actually, I originally made the king of Fu a general government, and I sincerely recruited talents, hoping that it would be a new dynasty and a new policy, and I would talk about the disadvantages of the times." ”

When Si Chao heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Fu Yanqing was his in-law after all, and once he was convicted, he was afraid that he would also be implicated.

Lu Ning's gaze swept over the seven generals in front of him.

Zhao Pu doesn't need to say it, he is a talent he kidnapped, and he has followed him for the longest time, the privy envoy Guo Chong was the strongest person in the three towns of Hebei that year, the father-in-law of the virtuous concubine, and the former privy envoy Wang Yanchao was temporarily dismissed by himself because of the fraud case in the Military Academy, and then, he used Guo Chong, but he was not in good health, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do it for too long.

Zhongshu Ling Wei Renpu, a minister of the former dynasty, took refuge in his own talent after he broke through Bianjing.

Shangshu ordered Lu Qingyu to call himself the queen of Qi and was recommended by the old lady of medicine, and reused it after his own research.

Liu Wensuo, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, is also an old minister who has gone through five dynasties.

The chief official of the Imperial History Terrace, the Imperial History Doctor Fan Qian, was once particularly loyal to the previous dynasty, so he followed Li Chongjin, instead of holding the young lord hostage Zhao Kuangyin, and later, seeing that Li Chongjin was called the King of Song, and his three sons were all killed by Zhao Kuangyin, his mood changed greatly, and then followed Li Chongjin to surrender to Qi.

I used him as the chief official of the Imperial History Observatory, just to see that this old man seemed to think that his birthday was approaching, and he was not afraid of offending people, and even, he often accused himself of alienating ministers, not going to court, neglecting government, etc., as for the excerpts of the impeachment of various imperial histories, this old gentleman often added oil and vinegar, as if he was afraid that things would not make much trouble.

Although the old man now has a stepson, he doesn't seem to care if the heir will be retaliated against in the future after offending people too much.

This is simply the ultimate template for a qualified counselor.

Speaking of which, the seven most important cabinet ministers, except for Zhao Pu, are all former ministers of the former dynasty, but there is no way to do it, young officials, the succession is still early, and most of the talents they have cultivated are experienced in the local or capital departments. Second, their prestige is not yet in such a high position as the center, but in the remaining dozen or so cabinets, there are very many new policy talents, such as Dong Xing, the secretary of the household department, Cheng Youquan in the imperial history, Deng Xin'an, the chief official of the Commercial Taxation Institute, etc., among which Deng Xin'an, who is the first new scholar in this dynasty, was not very conspicuous because of his age, but he was a late bloomer, and later came to the top, much better than Yang Qian, who was once favored by everyone.

As for the seven cabinet ministers in front of him, Si Chao was the first of the seven to follow him, except for Zhao Pu.

After he used troops in Qilu and broke through Qizhou, Si Chao, who was then the assassin of Yanzhou, surrendered the city.

At this moment, Lu Ning looked at him and pondered: "However, since King Fu has always been sick and unwilling to participate in the cabinet collegiate meeting, this time it is unusual, and this move is inappropriate." ”

I hope that when he comes, he can't see him, since he has formed the tacit unspoken rule that outsiders think, Fu Yanqing broke this rule, although there must be an inside story, but his actions cannot be recognized.

Si Chaoxin, smacked suddenly.

"Make a mark." Lu Ning thought for a while and said: "The pseudo-illness refused to listen to the edict, remembered his old age, extrajudicial mercy, and removed Fu Yanqing's cabinet from the rank of General Government, and fined him for three years." On the side, a secretary was scribbling.

glanced at Si Chao again, "In the future, don't let him know about the cabinet affairs, and punish you for a year!" ”

After all, Fu Yanqing used to have the reputation of the cabinet, and it was okay for Si Chao to discuss temple affairs with him at home.

Si Chao hurriedly got up and knelt down to thank him.

Zhao Pu and others, only then breathed a sigh of relief, the Son of Heaven is not an ordinary person, he always does things unexpectedly, although it often turns out that he is always great and glorious and correct, but just after listening to the first sentence of the Son of Heaven, it seems that not only does he not want to punish Fu Yanqing, but also wants him to come more, Zhao Pu and others are a little worried, so, where is their prestige?

"If nothing else, go down, I still have someone to see." Lu Ning glanced at them.

Several cabinet members were busy kowtowing and retiring.

……

After Zhao Pu and the others left, those who were led into the side hall were Li Jingyu, the king of Baoning, and Qiao Sheren.

Speaking of which, Qiao Kuangshun, a scholar from the middle school, has never been favored by Li Jingsui, and he has been demoted out of the capital as a county official before he descended to Qi.

Li Jingyi, after the surrender of Qi, was named the Marquis of Shunyang County, and Li Jingsui was the same as the Marquis.
