Chapter 1196: Crow's Beak
According to the practice of previous years, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the ministers of the political hall will enter the palace to see His Majesty and congratulate the Queen Mother and His Majesty on the New Year.
After Li Zhongyi entered Kaifeng City, he usurped the power of the political hall and established a new cabinet to control the world's major policies. However, the cabinet is subordinate to the ruling king.
The monarch's divine authority and the corresponding authority are granted by the monarch, adhering to the principle of step-by-step authorization, who authorizes and listens to whom, which is the power structure prevailing in the world.
However, in today's power structure, the high monarchy has existed in name only. Li Zhongyi, the ruling king, has already become the master of the house, and the cabinet is based on the edict promulgated by Li Zhongyi, which has obtained the legal basis for controlling the government of the world.
Therefore, the newly established cabinet is only responsible for Li Zhongyi alone, and has nothing to do with the queen mother and the little emperor in the palace.
The scholar class likes to talk about things in the name of righteousness, ostensibly to show the legitimacy of the ruling power, but in fact they want to take advantage of the opportunity.
In addition to Song Yingzong's Pu Discussion, the most famous of the so-called name disputes in history is the Great Rite Discussion directed by Ming Shizong Jiajing.
However, whether it is the Pu Discussion or the Great Rite Discussion, it is just a faΓ§ade on the surface, and in the bones it is a power struggle within the old and new ruling groups.
Li Zhongyi supported the army to enter Kaifeng City, and Shun's soldiers and horses are the supreme truth in the world, even if the scholar class has a big opinion of Li Zhongyi in private, they dare not take the huge risk of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and deny the legitimacy of Li Zhongyi to win the country by force!
Originally, the voices of some civil servants who were secretly clamoring to enter the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year were just frustrated nerds in the old interest groups, and they were just murmurs of dissatisfaction with the new regime, and it was impossible to make big waves.
Not long after Li Zhongyi entered the palace, the four ministers of the cabinet had already arrived at the duty room early.
Li Qiong held the teacup in her hand, tasted the freshly brewed hair, and was about to grab a handful of melon seeds to knock, but heard Kong Kun's roar.
"It's just playing the piano randomly."
According to the new rules, although the cabinet has been sealed, it can no longer issue edicts. However, the cabinet duty office has to work as usual in order to deal with urgent official business sent from various places, and the justice on duty today is Kong Kun.
In Li Qiong's eyes, although Kong Kun likes to be on the shelf, as long as he doesn't touch his vital interests, he is relatively easy to deal with.
Li Qiong, the right minister, is just a move by Li Zhongyi to balance Wei Renpu, he is very self-aware, if he takes power, it is tantamount to causing chaos to Li Qiniang and the future great-grandson.
Therefore, Kong Kun's roar, Li Qiong just didn't hear it, reached out and grabbed the melon seeds as usual, and knocked them up carefully.
Wei Renpu has been a little worried recently, since he became the prime minister, several sons of the family have begun to make trouble.
Da Lang forced him to ask for a seal quickly, Erlang always spent a huge amount of money from the tent to go out to spend all day drinking, and what was even more hateful was San Lang, this bastard even ignored the decent public clamor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he liked the handsome scholar.
If it was before, Wei Renpu only needed to give a post to Kaifeng Mansion to cover up the scandal of San Lang. In Kaifeng Mansion, up to the prefect, down to the errand officer, who dares not to obey?
However, since the Police Administration Temple took over the power of public security patrols across the country, Li Yan cleared Li Zhongyi's orders, and no one's accounts were sold.
Who is Li Yanqing? That is from the river pool in Shudi, and began to descend from the dragon Li, not only with excellent qualifications, but also with outstanding ability.
More importantly, the Police Temple under Li Yanqing's control is nominally under the jurisdiction of the cabinet, but in fact it is directly under the command of Li Zhongyi.
To put it bluntly, Wei Renpu, the prime minister, has no right to intervene in the affairs of the Police Temple.
The power of the military and police, that is Li Zhongyi's absolute ban, whoever dares to meddle in these two forces, I am afraid that he will have to use a knife to speak!
To tell the truth, Wei Renpu also looked away. At first, when the Police Temple was listed separately and belonged directly to Li Zhongyi, he didn't care about it, hoping that there would always be a chance to intervene in it.
However, after the police temple ran for a few months, no one except Li Zhongyi could insert a finger.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!
Liu Jinshan didn't bother with Kong Kun's shouting, what he pondered was that Li Zhongyi stuffed the silver money and food obtained from the robbery into the inner treasury.
The question is, when will it be possible to officially launch a reserve plan that is very conducive to emergency preparedness?
Whether it is relative power or monarchical power, if this power is expanded by one point, the other power must be reduced by two points, which is a typical zero-sum game.
Liu Jinshan is essentially Li Zhongyi's confidant, but this does not prevent him from trying to expand his power for the cabinet.
According to the plan that has been agreed, once the standing liquidation for emergency preparedness is formally implemented in batches, it will involve at least 10 million yuan of silver and 10 million stones of grain.
Why did Zhu Chongba have to use the excuse of Hu Weiyong's rebellion, take advantage of the situation to abolish the cabinet, and then divide the power into six ministries?
The core problem is that no department that holds power can be satisfied with the status quo and expand its sphere of influence when it has the opportunity.
The cabinet of Zhu Chongba's era held an astonishing amount of power, and it almost didn't care about anything.
Today's cabinet has been stripped of military power, police power, personnel power and financial power by Li Zhongyi, and various state-owned enterprises owned by Li Zhongyi have nothing to do with the cabinet.
To put it bluntly, today's cabinet, with its terms of reference, is more like a miniature version of the Military Aircraft Department.
Just when the ministers were thinking about each other, Li Zhongyi returned to the study from the palace, and after Wei Renpu learned the news, he immediately got up and said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to go to the study." β
The cabinet and the upper study are only a few walls apart, but it is only a cup of tea, so Wei Renpu led everyone to the door of the upper study.
Li Zhongyi heard that the ministers had come to pay New Year's greetings, so he couldn't help but smile slightly and personally greeted him outside.
"Old minister, I wish the Lord, all blessings!" Under the leadership of Wei Renpu, the ministers took a deep stumble to the ground.
Li Zhongyi arched his hand and said with a smile: "You ministers are too polite, hurry, please come inside." β
After the guests and hosts entered the house and sat down, Qiu Tong led the maids to serve tea and held a melon and fruit plate.
On the occasion of the Spring Festival, they all pay attention to saying auspicious words, and taboo to say bad things and talk about bad things.
The number one big crow in the cabinet, Kong Kun, who often splashes saliva on Li Zhongyi's face, has also restrained his temperament today, and said with a smile: "Lord, the minister heard that the traitor Li Chongjin is about to be escorted to Beijing?" β
Li Qiong glared at Kong Kun angrily, he was really a noisy crow, he squirted so much saliva that he couldn't even shoot his fart.
Wei Renpu was originally worried, but now he was also shocked by Kong Kun's crow's mouth. Hey, I really can't speak, on the festive day of the festival, the surname Kong actually mentioned the traitor Li Chongjin, isn't this that I can't find myself?
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, not only did not have the slightest anger, but explained: "I just want to discuss this matter with your ministers, should I deal with it according to Li Yun's old practice, or let him go?" β
PS: It's too late, and I've kept the update uninterrupted, asking for a monthly pass! ()
