Chapter 374: Meeting

According to the normal trajectory of history, it should now be the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse, and the year name and date are correct, but the difference is what happened in the first month.

Zhu Changxun, the blessed king who was supposed to be an honest cat in the fiefdom of Luoyang, was abolished for the crime of treason, demoted to the common people and banned forever, and all the family property was confiscated for the reconstruction of Zhending Mansion.

If you want to say that what the people of the capital are most concerned about is not this matter, but the new system of the imperial court.

The abolition of only one article of the celebrant is enough for the scholars and people in the capital to talk for a while, not to mention the unprecedented new cabinet system.

These things add up, just like entertainment news now, which has become the hottest topic in every restaurant.

With such a hot topic, how can the Ming Morning Post lag behind, an essay on the pros and cons of abolishing the celebrant and the suitability of the new cabinet system has begun to circulate in the capital.

In order to show their talents or unique opinions, many scholars submitted articles to the places where the Ming Morning Post was issued, and it is said that some officials also participated, but they did not sign their names.

It's still that restaurant, or those familiar faces, and it's always the latest topic that happened in the Ming Dynasty.

"I say, everyone, isn't our emperor too bold? You must know that the celebrant was created by Emperor Hongwu, so if you say that the cut will be cut, is it considered a violation of the ancestral system? ”

"What's so bad about being cut? There is Liu Jin in the front, and Wei Zhongxian in the back, look at what they have done, which one is not a disaster for the country and the people? If you want me to say that it is cut, it is right, eunuchs interfere in politics, and sooner or later there will be trouble."

"This brother, I don't like to hear what you say, Gonggong Ye is also a eunuch, but look at the things you do, Pingliaodong, Dingmeng, this time it is effortless to sweep away the rebellion of King Fu, one by one, that is not beneficial to the country and the people? If you want me to say, it's okay to abolish the celebrant supervisor, but Ye Gonggong should be allowed to participate in politics, at least better than those officials who are in the position of corpse meal."

"Hey, you say, is this the emperor coming at Gonggong Ye? You know, there is no one more suitable than Ye Gonggong to be in charge of the celebrant now? ”

"Humph! What do you know? Look at the members of the new cabinet, you will understand what is going on, Cheng Yu, Ye Xun's hardcore subordinates, Zhang Quan, the former governor of Liaodong, Yuan Yingtai, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, and the former Liaodong Economic Strategy, that is, the new secretary Li Zhiwen, has always had a close relationship with Ye Xun, so that the eight cabinet elders, Ye Xun's family has accounted for half of them, is this different from him being in charge of the ceremonial supervisor? ”

When everyone heard the words of this scholar, they all fell silent for a moment, isn't it, the eight elders of the cabinet, the four most important positions, are all under Ye Xun's indirect control, and Ye Xun's power has not only not become smaller, but even greater than before.

Seeing that the scholars had stopped talking, a big man at the next table who had been listening to them with his ears pricked up stood up.

Speaking with a strong northern accent, he said: "You are all learned people, and I don't understand what I say, but we Liaodong people only know one thing, that is, after Princess Ye Gong ruled Liaodong, the common people can eat enough, and life is getting better and better, whether it is Jurchen Tartar or Mongolian Tartar, they have been driven away by Ye Gonggong, and they no longer have to live in fear."

"Once on the street, someone insulted Gonggong Ye for what kind of eunuch, I knocked out his four front teeth with one punch, there are many court officials, but who cares about us Liaodong people?"

"I don't understand the major affairs of the court, I only know that with Ye Gonggong, we Han people will no longer be bullied, and we will definitely be able to live a good life."

The Chinese language is loud, and he looks like a passing merchant, and although his words are a little rough, they are real.

Scholars, look at me, let me look at you, many people have a thought in their hearts, they have read books all their lives, but they don't seem to be as good as a rough man to understand, what eunuchs are not eunuchs, as long as they can be beneficial to the country, they are good people.

This kind of discussion is going on in almost every corner of the capital, some are in favor, and of course there are those who are against, but most of them still agree with the dismissal of the celebrant and the celebrant eunuch, after all, this is the world of scholars, and scholars basically hate eunuchs participating in politics.

Just when the scholars and people in the capital were spreading the news about this, the eight newly released cabinet elders also started the first meeting after the New Year.

In addition to the four cabinet members who were appointed inside, there were Shao Fuzhong, the secretary of Dali Temple, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Yin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhao Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Don't underestimate these four people, because behind each of them there is an interest group.

After Ye Xun proposed a list of several cabinet members, the remaining candidates were decided by Li Beiwen, and Li Beiwen, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, had long known the intricate pattern of the DPRK and China.

In other words, the election of these four people was also a last resort by Li Beiwen in order to balance the forces of all parties in the DPRK and China, because according to Ye Xun's intentions, there will be no cabinet chief assistant in the future, and a rotation system will be implemented, and each person will hold the pen for seven days, and then hand it over to the next person.

It can be said that this system of taking turns to write is the most important thing for all parties, the first writer is produced by drawing lots, but it is Shao Fuzhong, the secretary of Dali Temple.

Because of Zhu Changluo's short life, except for Cheng Yu, who returned from injury, he can be regarded as a veteran of the Three Dynasties.

Shao Fuzhong looked down on Cheng Yu, who was young but could sit side by side with him.

With a dry cough, he said loudly: "The first round of the official writes, and I hope that all colleagues will strongly support it, there are a few things to be decided today, one is that the big exam is about to be taken, and the candidate for the chief examiner of this section must be decided, the second is the investigation of Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, and the third thing is that spring ploughing is coming, there is a shortage of ploughing cattle in the Gyeonggi area, and a batch of them needs to be urgently requisitioned from Liaodong, and the fourth is to add relief to the affected areas of Jianghuai..."

I don't know, I thought that this guy had calculated that he would be able to write this cabinet, and he actually made more than a dozen articles, and several of them involved Liaodong.

When Shao Fuzhong spoke, his eyes always swept Cheng Yu intentionally or unintentionally, obviously wanting to see Cheng Yu's reaction.

After recovering from the injury, Cheng Yu obviously lost a lot of weight, but he was also more energetic, sitting there with his eyes half-open and half-blind, as if he was asleep, and he never put forward any different opinions on Shao Fuzhong's words.

After talking for a while, Shao Fuzhong's throat finally became a little dry, and when he was holding up the tea to moisten his throat, Zhao Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, spoke.

"I don't know what Master Cheng has to say?"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said: "When forming a cabinet, you should know that no matter what kind of decree, if you want to implement it, you must have the consent of more than half of the cabinet members, and it is not that person who can decide alone, so the lower officials have nothing to say."

Listening to Cheng Yu's words, Shao Fuzhong suddenly became a little unhappy, and said unhappily: "I don't know if Master Cheng is the Jinshi of that year?" What official position did he hold in the DPRK? ”

It is said that beating people does not slap their faces, scolding people does not expose their shortcomings, and now Shao Fuzhong has made it clear that the pot is not open and the pot is not mentioned, these words can be said to be the sore spot of Cheng Yu.

His face suddenly turned red, staring at Shao Fuzhong, and said slowly: "What do you mean by this, Lord Shao?" ”...
