At this moment, Wang Wei stood up, basically representing the pinnacle of civil officials except for the three scholars in the cabinet. In such a situation, everyone wants to give face, such a big guy is talking, whether you approve or not, you have to listen.

Seeing Wang Wei standing up, Zhu Youzhang's face also showed a smile, and then said, "Aiqing, please speak!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Wei agreed, and then said: "It is difficult for the court to use it every day, salt and iron are great profits, and it is understandable that the court collects it for public use." It is a wise move to set up the Salt and Iron Division, but the Salt and Iron Division is just established, if it suddenly operates, I am afraid that something will happen, and once the operation is unfavorable, it will hurt the salt and iron politics of the imperial court, and there will be damage to the income. ”

As soon as Wang Wei's words came out, the court was silent, and everyone knew what Wang Wei was going to do in an instant.

Sure enough, Wang Wei continued expressionlessly: "Salt and iron originally belonged to the household department, and now the salt and iron division is divided into the household department, which can take advantage of the convenience of the household department, and also open a new beginning of salt and iron politics, so that you can have the best of both worlds." If the Salt and Iron Division runs well and smoothly in the future, the imperial court can also make the Salt and Iron Division independent, right? ”

Everyone present knows that Wang Wei is talking nonsense, what else can he come out of independently in the future, if he can really come out independently, then there is a ghost, and what he eats can still be spit out for you?

"The Salt and Iron Division belongs to the Ministry of Households, and the imperial court can order a squire to be in charge of the Salt and Iron Division, so that the change of the Ministry of Salt and Iron can also be guaranteed, and the new and old of the Salt and Iron Division can be guaranteed." Wang Wei continued, his tone was still very calm, but this sentence was like a big stone falling on the surface of the water, causing three waves to splash on the surface of the water.

Wang Wei mainly put forward two opinions, the first is to put the salt and iron division under the household department, the reason is also very simple, salt and iron is a big thing, suddenly set up a new yamen, fear of chaos, it is better to set up a new yamen in the household department, not only to make the old man and relationship of the user department, but also to be able to carry out the new policy, this is not very good?

At the same time, Wang Wei also expressed another meaning, Your Majesty, do you believe in those nobles? If they really let them build a new yamen to do it, then it won't be a problem? To put it bluntly, Wang Wei just wanted to put the salt and iron division in the household department to block the possibility of Xungui and Xunqi reaching out.

The second is to set up a title of household servant, who is in charge of the salt and iron division, and does not let the original two household servants be in charge of the salt and iron division, which is to appease those civil officials who want to take the position.

Don't you want to be on top? Give you a household servant, or be in charge of salt and iron, you should be satisfied now, right?

As soon as Wang Wei's words fell, a group of civil officials stood up, and even a few who had just opposed the placement of the Salt and Iron Division in the household department also stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Shilang This is the words of the old Cheng to seek the country, the ministers reconsider, the ministers reconsider!" ”

In an instant, the offense and defense were switched, and in an instant, it was Xungui and Xunqi's turn to have no choice, and they were a little confused for a moment.

At this time, Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar, also stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this is Lao Cheng's words to seek the country. ”

After Li Dongyang stood up, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian also stood up, and said at the same time: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

It is not surprising that the three cabinet scholars have come forward, it is inconvenient for the three cabinet scholars to express their stance before the civilian officials have reached a collective opinion, but once they have reached a collective opinion, they must express their position, otherwise they will definitely be attacked, and even the old hat of the three cabinets will be put on for you.

Now everyone's eyes are focused on Zhu Youjiao, waiting for the emperor's decision.

Zhu Youjiao's gaze swept over the court, and then he spoke: "Then act according to Wang Aiqing's performance, put the salt and iron division in the household department, and order one person to be in charge of the salt and iron department, and add the title of household squire." Cabinet, you see who is suitable, draw up a list and send it in. Saying that, Zhu Youzhu waved his hand, stood up and said, "Retreat!" ”

After retreating from the dynasty, Zhang Heling walked out dejectedly, with an expression of who I am and where I am.

was originally well planned, but why did the plan given by the prince fail? The surrounding Xungui walked a few steps to catch up with Zhang Heling, and asked, "Shou Ninghou, what is going on?" Now, you've got to figure out a solution! ”

Zhang Heling is not a wise person, let alone a top person, and there is no way to talk about power and conspiracy, how can there be any way.

In fact, another reason why the nobles can't do the civil servants is that the civil servants are all talents, you must know that the civil servants are selected from the best among the scholars in the world, how many people are there in the honor? Even if they can give birth, they can't do it, and with the stubborn temperament that they have cultivated since they were children in the dean of the deep house, it is basically impossible to be a civil official.

The mind, bearing, and overall situation are far behind, even if the conspiracy is weird, it is not the opponent of the civilian official.

It's just that many times in this world you don't see these, but more things, such as playing football, it doesn't matter how good or bad you play, the referee is the master of the game. In the case of match-fixing, you scored a goal and the offside was blown to you, a foul in the penalty area, a penalty for the opponent, do you still want to win?

Zhang Heling is now the home team, and Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youzhang, father and son, are the referees and black whistles.

Seeing that he was surrounded by Xungui, Zhang Heling hurriedly said: "You wait, I'll enter the palace!" After saying that, he squeezed through the crowd and ran towards the harem.

The civil officials all laughed when they saw this scene, although there were some twists and turns today, but it was also a big victory, Shou Ninghou's plan was all in vain, the salt and iron division was still under the name of the household department, and Shou Ninghou was considered a bamboo basket to draw water. It's hard for civil officials not to laugh, so it's great, good!

The three cabinet scholars glanced at each other, and Li Dongyang said helplessly: "After all, it's still a mess!" ”

Xie Qian said indignantly: "A group of self-righteous fools, you see how happy they are, and soon they will cry." ”

Liu Jian glanced at Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, and said with a wry smile: "Things have come to this point, we have no choice, and after all, we still fall into the middle." Hou Shouning is now entering the palace, he must be looking for His Majesty, and the person begging must be the chief official of the Salt and Iron Division, in order to appease the nobles, His Majesty is probably going to be approved. ”

"We can't stop it this time." Liu Jian said helplessly: "Xungui's side also needs to be appeased, but fortunately, it is still on the side of the household department, and there is still some control." ”

The three of them were silent, His Majesty didn't give Xungui face, and after listening to Wenchen's side, it was also the right thing to appease Xungui's side, and no one could say anything about it. What's more, the appointment must still be a civil official, do you want to give the emperor back? No one has the guts, the cabinet scholars are all appointed by the emperor, and you want to deprive the emperor of the power to appoint officials? He was directly dismissed by the emperor with the power of appointing officials.

There was a joke in later generations that someone proposed to abolish the veto power of the permanent members of the United Nations, and this proposal was rejected by one vote, which is similar to this.
