Chapter 587: It's All About You

It is now June of the first year of Longxi, that is to say, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the son of Ye Xun has only been more than seven months, and now he has to find a teacher for him, what can he teach him? Or can he learn something?

After a slight thought, Ye Xun understood a little that these old guys couldn't fix themselves, and they probably pinned their hopes on their son.

Let someone else teach his son to clean up Lao Tzu, a fool will do this kind of thing.

As an emperor, Wen Taowu is a must, and even a qualified emperor, his knowledge is comparable to those great Confucians in the world.

But knowledge is only one aspect, if you let these old guys teach, I'm afraid that in addition to getting rid of their own traitorous father, the rest is the same, anything that follows the ancestral system and the like, and what good children let them teach stupid.

So how to teach his son, Ye Xun already had his own ideas, and he would not let these old pedants with rigid brains follow him.

smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager has thanked a few old gentlemen, but the Empress Dowager has already made it clear that how Your Majesty teaches, the Empress Dowager has already made arrangements, so she won't worry about others."

I have to say that these old guys are still quite smart, and they didn't go directly to the palace to find the treasure bead, otherwise Ye Xun would have asked Xichang's men to talk to them.

While speaking, Fang Zhenru and others arrived one after another, since Liu Wenguang, who represented the Ministry of Rites, came, don't leave the Ministry of Officials.

Ye Xun then ordered someone to call Chen Shancai, the right attendant who presided over the daily operation of the ministry, to also come over.

Now in addition to the Ministry of Industry, the heads of all the ministries of the imperial court have arrived, and Ye Xun's living room is like a new cabinet, but everyone here will never be like the previous ministers who fell from power, always thinking of excluding Ye Xun.

And Ye Xun will not always be hidden behind the scenes like before, and the major decisions of the imperial court cannot be without him.

Ye Xun's mentality can be said to be completely forced out by the previous gang.

After everyone arrived, Ye Xun took the lead and said: "I take the liberty to invite all the adults, please forgive me for the rudeness, let's make a long story short, I have a few proposals, and a few adults will help you refer to them."

In the eyes of everyone's expectation, he continued: "The chief officials of the various ministries cannot be vacant for a long time, this duke proposes that Lord Chen Shancai succeed him as the secretary of the ministry, and Lord Liu Wenguang will serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the candidate of the criminal department and the ministry of work, this duke wants to hear your opinions, if you can do it, the queen mother's decree will come down soon, and in addition to the six ministries, the prince plans to form a Ministry of Finance, and the secretary of the Ministry of Finance will be served by the prefect of Zhending Mansion, Li Zhiwen, what are your opinions?" ”

When Ye Xun said this, what kind of negotiation tone did he use, and he was directly commanding in a commanding tone.

As soon as Ye Xun's words fell, Chen Shancai and Liu Wenguang hurriedly got up and thanked them, they had been presiding over the function of Shangshu for several months, but they had not been formally appointed, and now they were finally better, and a hanging heart could be regarded as falling.

Strictly speaking, Fang Zhenru was also promoted by Ye Xun, and he was the oldest among everyone.

After Ye Xun motioned for Chen Shancai and Liu Wenguang to sit down, his gaze fell on Old Man Fang first.

It is a pleasure to be respected, although Old Man Fang is a square person, he is not pedantic, and he also enjoys Ye Xun's attention.

Seeing Ye Xun's gaze fall on him, he nodded and said: "Ye Gonggong's proposal, the official has no opinion, what the official wants to ask is, after the various ministries are complete, can a new cabinet be formed?" ”

Fang Zhenru's words can be said to have asked the voices of everyone sitting except Ye Xun, and everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on Ye Xun again.

Ye Xun also knew that this was an unavoidable question, even if the old party didn't ask, someone would ask it sooner or later.

It's just that before he could speak, Fang Zhenru spoke again.

"Don't misunderstand, the meaning of this official is that it is best for the father-in-law to form a cabinet and act as the head of the cabinet, I don't know what the will of the government will be."

Ye Xun never expected Fang Zhenru to come up with such a plan, and stared at Fang Zhenru again, saying in his heart, what is the idea of this old man?

Ye Xun knew very well that Fang Zhenru was not a flatterer, and even if this proposal was put forward by Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan, Ye Xun would not be surprised, but now it was put forward by such an usually honest and rigorous person, no wonder Ye Xun thought about it more.

"Grandpa Ye, my lords, you must think that the old man's words today are a bit much, in fact, these words have been brewing in the old man's heart for a long time."

"Ye Gonggong started in Liaodong, and what others see is Ye Gonggong's great military exploits in the Jurchen Mongols, but few people pay attention to the changes in Liaodong today, the people are getting richer and richer, the towns are becoming more and more prosperous, and even many places are not closed at night, whose credit is it for such a big change?"

"Besides, in terms of government affairs, the lord of Ye Gonggong lifted the sea ban, others don't know, but the old man knows, last year, after cutting out various expenses, the surplus of the treasury has been nearly ten times that of the past, and the officials' money has been more than three times that of the past, and now if anyone says that the lifting of the sea ban violates the ancestral system, it will definitely be attacked by the officials, my lords, am I right?"

"In order to smoothly implement the new policy, Ye Gonggong went to the south of the Yangtze River twice, so that the land was returned to the hands of the people, and the reform of the military household system of the guard not only greatly saved the expenses of the imperial court, but also made our Ming army an invincible division again."

"These are all real happenings, and this official can't speak with a clear conscience, so this cabinet chief assistant is none other than Gonggong Ye!"

No one expected Fang Zhenru to say such a thing, there was silence for a moment, and then everyone stood up, bowed down to Ye Xun and said, "It's none other than my father-in-law!" ”

Ye Xun was also stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "You guys are going to roast me on the fire!" ”

"I know that everyone has always wondered why I didn't propose to form a cabinet, to say something from my heart, I have been hesitating, as a slave of the Son of Heaven, I hope that the monarchy is stronger than the power of the ministers, but when I meet a good emperor, it is good to say, if it is a faint monarch, absolute imperial power, I am afraid that it will also cause immeasurable turmoil to the country"

"So I've been pondering what kind of mechanism can allow the imperial power and the vassal power to check each other to ensure the healthy development of the country."

"Now everyone proposes that I form a cabinet, to be honest, I am very moved, and I sincerely thank you for your trust, but after all, I am an eunuch, and it is a taboo for the court to participate in politics, I will never set this precedent, and I think, in the end, will I form a cabinet or not? Let's leave it for the future! ”

As a eunuch as the first assistant of the cabinet, this is definitely not a good start, if a eunuch like Wei Zhongxian appears in the future, it will be a disaster for the country, so Ye Xun must dispel the thoughts in everyone's hearts.

And through these words, everyone can understand that Ye Xun has no intention of forming a cabinet at all, and the meaning of leaving it for the future is to leave this problem to the emperor who grows up in the future, but the question is, how many years will it take for the emperor to grow up and govern! ...
