Chapter 644: Xiyuan Discussion!
The whole book, the fastest update to win the latest chapter!
Lu Zheng is over 20 years old, and his official residence is second-class, and Dakang is unique. And the authority of the minister's secretary is even more so that the prime minister has to look sideways, in fact, since the kings have taken over the throne, the cabinet has been in a very embarrassing position.
In the past, cabinet deliberations could be directly addressed to His Majesty, or even the following excerpts, and the cabinet votes were drafted and then sent directly to the emperor, and the emperor's approval of the red could be directly delivered to the implementation of the will.
But now in the post-Dai Gao era, several princes can directly discuss matters from the six ministries, and then directly reach Your Majesty, Your Majesty will decree, things will be done, and many things will become decorations.
After Emperor Xinde was enthusiastic about government affairs, he even liked to call the six ministers to Xiyuan, and the six Shangshu could often enter the cabinet for deliberations, and even Shangshu himself was a member of the cabinet, which made the position of the prime minister even weaker.
Like the current prime ministers, Duan Tanglin and Su Xinghai actually have no real power in their hands, and have instead become roles such as Emperor Xinde's personal advisers and staff.
In this case, Lu Zheng's position as the secretary of the ministry is too heavy, and the entire assessment and promotion of Dakang officials, and even related to the appointment of scientific researchers, these powers are in the hands of Lu Zheng, it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng is now the pillar of the humerus of the Dakang Dynasty, and is actually one of the most powerful people in the Dakang Dynasty.
In a position like Lu Zheng, one step further is to enter the cabinet, in fact, he has now entered the cabinet, but he has not yet hung that title.
Xiyuan, Lu Zheng in a purple robe is particularly eye-catching among many elderly ministers, Emperor Xinde pre-court, cabinet ministers and six other Shangshu all arrived in Xiyuan.
Because Lu Zheng's stay in the position of the squire of the Ministry of War was too short, it was so short that he was not even familiar with these senior members of the Sixth Department. The previous secretary of the ministry was Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan's rebellion against Long Zhaoyan had been given to death, Lu Zheng took Wei Xuan's position, I have to say, this made several other Shangshu feel a little uncomfortable.
But Lu Zheng is not the only new face, this time Emperor Xinde rewarded the heroes, Cao Weiming, the governor of Hebei, was promoted to the secretary of the household department, and Zhao Chongqian, the governor of Henan, was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department, the three of them once worked together to quell the rebellion, and Lu Zheng is the chief manager, I have to say that Lu Zheng still has a considerable advantage psychologically!
Outside the West Garden, all the adults greeted each other, Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian all greeted Zhong Wanxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and seemed to deliberately not see Lu Zheng also in the ranks, and the scene seemed to be slightly embarrassing.
Su Xinghai arrived at this time, the head of the Su family, and the current prime minister of the cabinet, although the real power in his hands is insufficient, but he is old enough, among the officials present, who dares not to respect him?
When Su Ge arrived, everyone naturally flocked to it, Su Xinghai nodded with a smile one by one, but walked straight to Lu Zheng's side, Lu Zheng hurriedly saluted: "Junior, Lu Zheng has seen Su Ge Lao!" ”
Su Xinghai laughed and said: "Lord Lu, you and I are ministers in the same hall now, so there is no need for this junior!" When you see it, you know what the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, you are old, you are useless, and the Dakang Dynasty will be your young people in the future! ”
Su Xinghai looked around, pointed at Zhao Chongqian and Cao Weiming with his finger and said: "Lord Zhao and Lord Cao, you are very familiar, and now the two adults are also in the same palace as you, haha, Your Majesty is thoughtful, I can't wait!" ”
The six departments of the court have always had a close relationship with the king of Qin, which is also the reason why after Long Zhaoyan ascended the throne, all the six books were abandoned.
Long Zhaoyan did this instead, saving several Shangshu from danger, and after experiencing a great turmoil of usurping power and seizing the throne, there were still three Shangshu who could stay in office, which was also an anomaly.
The current pattern of the six departments, three old and three new has become very interesting, the call for the king of Qin to be made a prince is getting higher and higher, and Lu Zheng has always been regarded as the king of Qi, and the six shelves have just been erected, and the smell of gunpowder in the dispute has become quite strong.
Lu Zheng said: "Su Xiangshi has won the award, the kid is young, and he still needs to ask more adults for advice and learning in the future." Lord Zhao and Lord Cao are both outstanding people, and the kid doesn't dare to compare with them! ”
Su Xinghai gently patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Well, don't be arrogant or impatient, it's good!" Su Zhi has been in good shape recently, but Su Qing seems to be lost, and the relationship between my Su family and Lord Lu is inextricably linked! ”
The intimacy of Su Xinghai's move was undoubtedly exposed, Lu Zheng and Su Zhi went on an envoy together, and then quelled the rebellion together, although Su Zhi is still only the general of Jin Wuwei, but he has also been promoted to the rank of second-rank official, and it is very likely that he will lead the troops to quell the rebellion again.
The sudden rise of the Su family was also very sudden, no one thought that Su Zhi would be able to come out, and Su Qing was naturally a little disappointed in comparison, but no one could deny that Su Qing was Lu Zheng's teacher, so Su Qing didn't have to worry about his status in the family encountering Waterloo.
Lu Zheng greeted and entertained, but there was a lament in his heart, after all, he still did not escape the huge shackles of officialdom, and stepped in, it is conceivable that for a long time, Lu Zheng's life will be the same as today, intriguing in the officialdom for various interests.
However, since Lu Zheng talked with Dai Gao, his mentality has become open-minded and open-minded, and he is no longer just blindly pessimistic about the current situation.
After Su Xinghai, the main event is the King of Qin and the King of Qi, the King of Qin is in excellent spirits and refreshed, and now he is almost a response in the court, and the people who secretly promote him to the position of the crown prince are also like carp crossing the river.
In comparison, King Qi's popularity has to be checked a lot, thanks to King Qi's long-term low-key, and there is also a personality, but Lu Zheng has always been regarded as the King of Qi's faction, so King Qi's attitude towards him is also unusual.
"Lord Lu, let's talk about it, my father will definitely be worried about the situation in Shandong and Liaodong in the pre-court deliberations later, and this king is not talented, and he wants to solve problems for his father! I've always wanted to know this Liaodong Iron Rider for a while, if my father asks, you want to recommend me! King Qi said.
Lu Zheng said: "Your Highness, don't worry, you are originally the general of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but there is no way to bypass you in any military affairs!" It's too late for you to take the initiative to ask Your Majesty to go on the expedition, and you still need my recommendation? ”
King Qi smiled and said, "Don't pick all the flattering words, what is a general?" I, the general, have become someone else's prisoner before I have time to exert my might, don't mention the name of the general in the future!
I'm going out to fight, just because I hold my breath in my heart, and this breath is not unpleasant! ”
Lu Zheng smiled faintly, and admired Dai Gao so much in his heart, this bad old man fishes at home every day, but he is very aware of the situation in the imperial court.
At present, the court is about to put down the rebellion, the king of Qi is the ideal candidate, Emperor Xinde must want the king of Qi to go on the expedition, and the king of Qi himself is so active in this, where is there any suspense?
When the hour came, the ministers entered the West Garden, and the meeting hall of the West Garden was not large, but it could accommodate more than a dozen people. This is also the style of Emperor Xinde, even if he has been in charge recently, he doesn't like to engage in the early dynasty. The West Garden has almost become the center of the discussion.
And Emperor Xinde doesn't like too many people to discuss matters, like today, there are very few matters that are due for the six Shangshu, obviously, today's day is unusual, the first is the first day of the three Shangshu errands. In addition, the imperial court has just returned to the throne, many things are waiting to be renewed, and there is still chaos in the north and Shandong, and these major events need to be agreed as soon as possible.
Look at Emperor Xinde's complexion today, but he didn't wear the crown of the imperial robe, but wore a purple gold robe.
"Excuse me, you probably know about today's deliberations! Hehe, Liaodong is in chaos, and Shandong is also in chaos! This dead girl who loves to toss has been taken by his brother, and she wants to smash and crush my country! I can't ignore my daughter! "Emperor Xinde.
King Qi said: "Father, the son is willing to lead the army to Shandong to fight the rebellion, please rest assured that the son will definitely live up to his father's trust!" ”
Emperor Xinde squinted at King Qi and said, "Zhaorui, there are so many ministers of the humerus of the imperial court here today, and there are many ministers who are more than twenty years older than you, these people are all ministers who seek the country, what are you impatient?" Let them all talk, it's not too late for you to speak! ”
King Qi hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Yes, my father's lesson is yes, and my son knows that he is wrong!" ”
Duan Lintang said: "Back to Your Majesty, since ancient times, military affairs have been a fierce matter, there are many people in the court who can solve problems for Your Majesty, and the generals who can fight are also like carp crossing the river, and the body of King Qi is noble, how can he easily get into danger?" ”
"Duan Xiang is reasonable, besides, the princess is acting in Liaodong, it is very likely to be deceived, King Qi went to face the princess, flesh and blood are deep, in case there is a mistake on both sides, it is also a shame for the royal family, this kind of thing is absolutely inappropriate for King Qi to go!" Zhong Wanxiang said, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so he naturally speaks with the word "Li".
For a while, the court spoke one after another, and it was all opposed, and the only three people who did not speak were Lu Zheng, Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian.
Emperor Xinde frowned and was silent, and suddenly he looked up at Lu Zheng and said, "Lu Zheng, why didn't you speak today?" ”
Lu Zheng said unhurriedly: "Back to Your Majesty, there are a lot of humerus ministers in the court today, they are all the elders of the ministers, the ministers are listening and learning by the side, they don't dare to talk nonsense casually, for fear of losing their proportions, and even more afraid of making Your Majesty feel that the ministers are impatient and rude!" ”
Emperor Xinde laughed, pointed his finger at Lu Zheng and said, "Look, he used my original words to plug my mouth!" Wow, since you said that, I'm going to let you talk today! You are in such a high position in the year of the weak crown, many people don't say anything on their faces, and they may not be convinced by you in their hearts!
But I have always acted fairly, you can have the position you have today all because you have earned it yourself, you have this ability, how can you be arrogant, I want to hear your advice today, you can talk about it quickly! ”
Lu Zheng said: "Your Majesty's golden mouth and jade words, Weichen said!" This time the matter of Liaodong and Shandong, no matter what, it can't be bypassed by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, His Royal Highness King Qi is the general of the three armies, is it possible that he can't speak?
For such a major matter, King Qi took the idea and reported it to His Majesty, and His Majesty issued an order, and the matter could be finalized. The rest of the people's words can only be used for reference and consideration, Your Majesty thinks what Wei Chen said is reasonable? ”
Lu Zheng's remark attracted the attention of the audience, and Lu Zheng's meaning was very clear! That is, the matter of the imperial court sending troops is related to everyone's affairs, and it should have been a matter for the king of Qi, you can use your mouths and talk about it casually, but if you want to control this matter, everyone is not qualified!
