"This new Amber is interesting."

In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen looked at Liu Ximing's departing figure and said with a smile to Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side.

Wang Chengen smiled respectfully, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, if it weren't for the emperor's strength, how could he let the new Amber come out, this is really the emperor's grace." ”

"Hmph", Chongzhen smiled quite proudly, "I look at people differently than you, by the way, what do you think of what Xin Amber just said?" ”

Wang Chengen cautiously replied: "The servants of the imperial court don't dare to talk nonsense, but just after listening to Xin Anbo's story, the servants only feel that he and Wen Ge Lao and other ministers look a little alike. ”

"Hahaha, you minion, where is the new Amber comparable to my first assistant."

Chongzhen laughed and scolded, "By the way, you go and invite Shoufu here, I have something to discuss with him." ”

But having said that, Chongzhen also felt in his heart that this Liu Ximing really still had some ability.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Liu Ximing was heading towards the Ministry of Rites under the guidance of Lin An, and he also had to go to the Ministry of Rites to receive the earl's various items, and at the same time register in the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, when he came out of the palace, he felt a cold sweat on his back.

Although he has a modern soul, even in modern times, he does not have this experience of directly asking the leader of a country, and he is inevitably nervous.

Besides, the emperor of this year can be said to be a real life and death, even if you are a cow, do you dare to shake a wit on this occasion?

Moreover, Fang Cai Chongzhen not only asked about the battle of Fengyang, but when he heard that Liu Ximing was full of confidence, he even compared the classics by the way.

It's just that Liu Ximing hasn't missed his homework in the past six months, otherwise he really won't be able to end it.

Lin An, who was on the side, saw that Liu Ximing was silent, and couldn't help but smile carefully: "Uncle can be appreciated by the emperor at a young age, and he is really a rare young talent." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The Forbidden City is big, did Liu Ximing drive in it, no, it was the privilege of riding a horse, and it would take a while to walk to the Ministry of Rites on just two legs, so he simply chatted with Lin An.

Lin An said with envy: "Uncle has been in the palace for so long as he arrived in the capital, this is a treatment that all the officials in the court and the central government have never had, what else can this be if this is still a favor?" ”

"Hahaha"

Liu Ximing laughed loudly, this little eunuch only judged whether a person was favored by the length of time he stayed, and he was really very courtly.

"Father-in-law Lin laughed, but it was just because His Majesty was in a good mood, and he would have to rely more on Father-in-law Lin to help him in the future."

Lin An's neck shrank and said with a smile: "How dare the little one be called his father-in-law, the uncle is called the little little Linzi, as for the foil, it has to be a small godfather to be qualified." ”

Liu Ximing pursed his lips and smiled, and talked to Lin An in a roundabout way.

At the same time, Wen Tiren, who was nearly sixty years old, was rushing towards the Qianqing Palace, and on the way, he did not forget to ask the little eunuch who came over to announce the decree, "What is the so-called matter of Your Majesty's summoning?" ”

The little eunuch who led the way in front didn't dare to slack off, and while replying sideways, he kept walking briskly all the way under his feet, "Returning to the Pavilion Elder, it seems to be the prelude to the newly sealed New Amber Saint, Your Majesty probably wants to inquire about the Pavilion Elder." ”

Wen Tiren suddenly knew in his heart, he knew about this new Amber, but he didn't think that he was a student, and he was a martial arts uncle, so he could say something.

Then there is no need to worry too much, but should I report the matter of Henan Pay later, Wen Tiren fell into his own thoughts.

"Your Majesty, Wen Ge is old. , Wang Chengen in the Qianqing Palace whispered to remind Chongzhen after the imperial case.

"Oh? Please. ”

Without waiting for Wen Tiren to salute, Chongzhen asked eagerly: "Ge Lao, I have just talked to Xin Anbo, and he made a suggestion to me, Wang Daban, you repeat Xin Anbo's words to the Pavilion Elder. ”

"Yes", Wang Chengen stood with a smile on his face, "New Amber said that the collapse of the world is all due to the failure of the officials......"

Wen Tiren put away his disdain when Chongzhen spoke, and now when he heard Wang Chengen speak, the surprise in his heart became more and more serious.

Don't look at what Liu Ximing said doesn't seem to be a big deal in modern times, but for the limited dissemination of information in ancient times, it is already very remarkable that a Xiucai can have such a deep understanding of national governance.

"Princess, are these really what New Amber said?"

Wang Chengen looked at Chongzhen with some amusement, turned his head and nodded at Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren took a deep breath and arched his hand towards Chongzhen: "The minister is not as good as His Majesty, at first the minister didn't understand why His Majesty rewarded Xin'an Bo generously, but now the minister understands that His Majesty's ability to recognize people is unsurpassed." ”

While flattering, Wen Tiren quickly thought about the benefits and disadvantages of this suggestion of New Amberti to himself.

The only disadvantage of reforming the rule of officials from the beginning of the bureaucracy is, of course, the backlash of the officials.

Wen Tiren has been the first assistant for so many years, so he naturally knows how the rule of the imperial court works in the local area, and it is no exaggeration to say that without these officials, I am afraid that the imperial court will immediately lose control of the local area.

Therefore, it is impossible to really reform, at least not in our own hands.

However, Wen Tiren looked up at Chongzhen's excited face, this new Amber stunned the emperor for a moment, and it was not appropriate if he didn't do anything.

As for the benefits of the reform of officials, for Wen Tiren, he naturally took the opportunity to install his own people.

"Your Majesty", thinking about this clearly, Wen Tiren instantly reacted, "The minister thinks that the strategy offered by Xin Amber is not unfeasible. ”

Chongzhen's spirit was greatly boosted, didn't he think that what Liu Ximing said made sense, and now Shoufu also recognized it, which made him even more excited.

But Wen Tiren immediately poured cold water on him.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that even if you want to change, you can't start with the local area as Xin Amber said, after all, the local officials are related to the collection of grain taxes, and if something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Wen Tiren's words made Chongzhen calm down suddenly, "Then what does Aiqing think it should be?" ”

Wen Tiren took a step forward with the appearance of being loyal to the country, "It's better to start with the six ministries first, there are more than a thousand scribes in each department, these people have always played with words, deceived the superiors and subordinates, so that the court decrees cannot reach the ministers of the world." ”

"The ministers have suffered for a long time, but they are hindered by the central and important places, and they hold a lot of power, even the officials in the hall do not dare to provoke easily, what kind of system will it become if it goes on like this, why not take this opportunity to reform the officials of the various ministries first, so that Your Majesty's will can reach the Quartet."

"If the reform of the six ministries is feasible, it will be further promoted, if it is not feasible, then Your Majesty can directly stop it, and the impact will be limited to the capital, without damaging the prestige of the imperial court, what does Your Majesty think?"

If Liu Ximing was present, he was afraid that he would spit on Wen Tiren on the spot, a bad old man, very bad.

At present, the fundamental problem of the imperial court is that the officials and gentry at all levels make too much money and middlemen, and put the money and grain that should belong to the imperial court into their own pockets.

Of course, the officials in the center are greedy, but they are greedy for the money of officials at all levels, and they have no direct relationship with the people.

In this way, it is possible to save the financial and taxation system that has fallen into a dead end, but according to Wen Tiren's approach, except for facilitating his struggle for power and profit, the faction can no longer play any other role.

But in Chongzhen, it sounds like this has a different meaning.

"Ge Lao's words are really Lao Cheng's words for the country, but how to change this, please ask Ge Lao to come up with a strategy."

Chongzhen sat back on the dragon chair with a satisfied face, "By the way, since this matter is the head of Xin Anbo, the elder still has to communicate with him." ”

"Your Majesty, the township test is going to be in August, and the new Amber ......"

Wang Chengen reminded in due course.

Chongzhen frowned and shook his head, "It's not in the way, it won't delay much, and when he and Shoufu discuss it clearly, the specific implementation will naturally be promoted by the cabinet, and then he will return to Sichuan." ”

"Yes, yes, the master thinks about it thoroughly", Wang Chengen hurriedly nodded and said flatteringly.

As everyone knows, this scene made Wen Tiren's heart beat wildly, this new Amber has only been in the court for a short time, how can even the eunuch Bingbi have to think about him for him.

Wen Tiren knows his own affairs, he relies on flattering the emperor to ascend to the throne, and he does things thanks to his own Zhejiang party, and now a new minister who seems to be very favored has appeared, and Wen Tiren's inner vigilance has suddenly come up.
