Seeing Yang Feng's arrival, Zhu Youxiao looked very happy, he stood up and walked to Yang Feng with his hands, "I just talked to Sun Ge Lao and them about Aiqing, I didn't think that Aiqing would arrive, this really means that Cao Cao Cao has arrived." ”

"Ahem......"

Zhu Guozhen on the side couldn't help coughing lightly twice, and Zhu Youxiao came to his senses, it is not a compliment to say that someone is Cao Cao these days, especially if this sentence comes out of the mouth of an emperor, it is easier for people to misunderstand.

He was a little embarrassed and snorted: "What's that...... I'm just an analogy, Aiqing doesn't have to take it to heart. ”

Yang Feng smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister understands that Your Majesty is not that kind of monarch, and the minister is not that kind of person." ”

"If only you could understand." Zhu Youxiao also laughed, secretly relieved in his heart, to be honest, he was really afraid that Yang Feng would have a pimple in his heart.

did not continue on this topic, Han Yi transferred to the past as a cabinet elder, "Xin Guogong, this time you are commanding the army outside to exterminate the thieves, and for some reason you left the army and returned to the capital without permission, don't you know that this is a big taboo?" ”

"My father naturally knows." Yang Feng did not avoid this question, but said to Han Yi: "Previously, this father has sent someone to send an official document to His Majesty to explain this matter, I think His Majesty should have received it, since His Majesty did not send someone to reject this father's performance, this father naturally thinks that there is no problem." ”

This time it was Han Yi's turn to have nothing to say, the three dignified cabinet elders were actually brushed by a few small officials below, and the official document that the dignified government thought was sent by the national prince was delayed for seven days before it was delivered, isn't it embarrassing enough to say it?

Sun Chengzong waved his hand and signaled Han Yi not to talk to Yang Feng anymore, he said softly: "Okay, let's not talk about this, Xin Guogong, this time you should go to Beijing and think about the necessary things." ”

"There is indeed something important to discuss with Your Majesty." Yang Feng nodded.

Sun Chengzong asked curiously, "Oh...... What is the important thing that can make the Duke of Xinguo leave tens of thousands of troops and go to the capital? Is it convenient to talk to the old man? ”

"Can't!"

Yang Feng simply refused, which also made Sun Chengzong blush.

Now Sun Chengzong's face is a little unbearable, at this time Sun Chengzong is very different from the Liaodong Governor who trembled all day long, and now he is the first assistant of the cabinet, it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person, it can be said that there are very few things that he can't ask about in the whole Ming Dynasty, the reason why he asked Yang Feng just now was just out of politeness, but he didn't expect to be pushed back by Yang Feng.

Looking at Sun Chengzong, whose old face was a little red, Han Yi couldn't help but be angry, and shouted: "Believe in Guogong, as the so-called thing must be said to others. I believe that you must have important state affairs to discuss with Your Majesty when you come back this time. As the first assistant of the cabinet, how can Lord Sun not be qualified to know, do you still have the first assistant in your eyes? ”

"Why should I have Shousuke in my eyes?"

Yang Feng glanced at Han Yi strangely.

"This letter of this duke is canonized by His Majesty, and his allegiance is also to the Ming court and His Majesty, not to the head of the cabinet and the elders. This matter will wait until His Majesty will be entertained, and then His Majesty will decide whether to inform you or not, instead of being noisy like you, or does Lord Han think that he can be an equal to His Majesty if he becomes a pavilion elder?

Don't forget that the cabinet is all editors, inspectors, and judges, and there is no official subordination, and there is no autocracy over the departments. If you are not allowed to do anything, what right do you have to let this prince report to you on the affairs of the state? ”

"You ......"

Han Yi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Yang Feng was right, the lack of function of the cabinet at the beginning of its establishment was only as the emperor's private secretary, not as an organ of power.

However, this is only the old yellow calendar, after more than 200 years of development, today's cabinet has long developed into the emperor's highest staff and decision-making body, as the first assistant to the cabinet, Sun Chengzong is actually close to the status of the modern prime minister, which is also the reason why Sun Chengzong has the confidence to ask Yang Feng.

It stands to reason that it would be okay for Yang Feng to tell them the reason for returning to Beijing this time, but this matter is too important, he doesn't want to tell Zhu Youxiao about the matter before he talks to Zhu Youxiao, who knows if the news will be leaked after telling these old men.

There is another one, Yang Feng doesn't want to get used to the stinky problems of these civil officials.

History has told people very well that the division of civil and military forces in a country is the best and most scientific method.

Neither the civil or military attachés should exceed their authority, everyone should take care of their own affairs, if they have to override each other's heads, the results are often not too good, the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty and the tragic ending of the Song Dynasty have given people a good warning.

However, later people often ignore these, which even Sun Chengzong, who has always been shrewd and capable, is not exempt from vulgarity.

However, in the face of Yang Feng, who has always acted domineering and domineering, although Han Yi was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, there was nothing he could do, after all, what he said also had a certain truth, Yang Feng, as a front-line commander, was reasonable to report the emergency military situation to the emperor, and their cabinet had no reason for Yang Feng to report to them.

Sun Chengzong glanced at Yang Feng deeply, he really wanted to tell Yang Feng, do you know that you will have no friends if you do this, and it will not do you any good to offend several cabinet elders in the cabinet, it is better to be a man and leave a way back for yourself.

It's just that in the end, these words all turned into a sigh, and he shook his head helplessly: "That's it, since the Duke of Xinguo wants to report to His Majesty alone, then let him tell His Majesty first, and then His Majesty will tell us the same." ”

Yang Feng smiled slightly, he understood Sun Chengzong's subtext very clearly, don't look at you if you don't tell us now, but don't forget that we are cabinet elders, and any decisions made by His Majesty must be implemented through us, and it is impossible to hide it from us.

But even if you understand Yang Feng, you don't care, Lao Tzu is a big guy who can shuttle back and forth between two time and space, will you be afraid that you won't succeed?

At this time, Zhu Youxiao could no longer sit there and watch the excitement, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Elder Sun Ge, Elder Han Ge, Elder Zhu Ge, the three of you go back first, and after the Duke of Xinguo finishes talking to me, I will inform you and others of the matter." ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, Sun Chengzong and the three of them couldn't stay here anymore, so they all got up and bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "In this case, the ministers will retire." ”

After speaking, the three of them didn't even look at Yang Feng before turning around and leaving the imperial study.

Seeing the three of them go out, Zhu Youxiao said to Yang Feng helplessly: "You, you, let me say something good about you, even if you don't want to tell them, can't you just be tactful, you have to be angry with them like this to be willing?" ”

Yang Feng shrugged his shoulders: "The minister just looks at these civil officials who look like cowhide coaxing all day long, as if they can manage the world and the land, and they have to manage whether others want to fart or not, who gave them the courage?" ”

"Hahaha......" Zhu Youxiao finally couldn't help laughing.
