Everyone wants a Qingluo umbrella, which means the pinnacle of people. For military generals, although the Privy Council of the same sign is the last position in the Zaifu, it is already the highest position that the military ministers can reach now.

Even for a civil servant, such as Pu Zongmeng, or the vast majority of important ministers, this is what they dream of

But Wang Hou didn't have the slightest look of surprise, but instead had a deep doubt, "Is that necessary?" ”

"Lu Guogong's idea of fighting the army - he originally relied on quelling the chaos to ascend to the position of Zaifu; Although Feng Dangshi didn't ask about the military, he was mostly pretending to be stupid now; It is impossible for Jiayue not to consider the ownership of military power. Even if I divide the legislative and judicial powers, as long as the military power is still in the hands of Zaifu, many people will not feel at ease. ”

"If necessary, I'll do it. But Yukun ......" Wang Hou pondered the words, seemed to hesitate, but quickly became firm, "There is no need to go around in circles between you and my brothers, do you have to be in a circle?" Do I have to do it? Or is there something you don't feel comfortable with. ”

grasped the key as soon as he could, Wang Hou is indeed still sensitive, or maybe his attitude is too straightforward

Han Gang had a little headache, because of Wang Hou's identity, the degree of this was not so easy to grasp. If it was in the past, Han Gang could grasp the weight very well, but after ten years as the prime minister, he has encountered less and less of the current situation, and he is completely unfamiliar with the skills of saying good things while ensuring the other party's mood.

Since Xizong's death, even the Queen Mother doesn't need Han Gang to worry about her mood, and in most cases, the other party is cautious to figure out Han Gang's mood.

Seeing Han Gang's hesitation, Wang Hou's face darkened a little, but he didn't give up questioning, "If I take up the position of the Secret Academy, I will definitely not be able to take charge of the guards again." Wang Sunchen is a new teacher in Beijing, and he can't afford it alone. Are you afraid that Zhang Dian will recommend me to the Secret Academy? ”

Han Gang needs Wang Hou, but Zhang Dian definitely wants to weaken Han Gang's influence in the forbidden army. If Zhang Dian or others recommended Wang Hou to the Privy Council, and Wang Hou had a thirst for a cool umbrella, if Han Gang objected, it would probably be the result of his in-laws' opposites.

It's just that Han Gang doesn't object, but Wang Hou doesn't enter the Privy Council, and a few rumors can cause them to crack. If Han Gang had been trapped in the form and had not stopped it, and Wang Hou had really become a member of the Privy Council, it would have been a good thing for most people.

In Wang Hou's aggressive gaze, Han Gang finally sighed, "Not bad." Rather than wait for someone to do it, it is better for me to take the first step and cause people but not people. ”

"Just say it." Wang Hou's eyes revealed a little suppressed sadness, as well as the anger of being humiliated, "Yukun, in fact, just say it." ”

Han Gang felt a trace of remorse in his heart, he should have said it more tactfully.

He owed himself and apologized to Wang Hou: "It's because I'm thinking too much...... But in the road, Xifuzhong does need a military general. There used to be an emperor, but now there is no emperor. It was possible to do without then, but it cannot be without now. ”

Wang Hou was silent for a while, then nodded. I can't tell if it's for Han Gang's seemingly reluctant apology, or for Han Gang's later words.

But Wang Hou really knew very well that in the current situation, just to appease the generals in the court, it was also necessary to come up with a Privy Council affair with the same signature.

Even if the military generals are inferior to the civil officials, when the emperor is there, at least they still feel that they are being bullied on the civilian side, and the emperor can at least give justice. In fact, the ministers did not have much restraint over the high-level military generals - the third class court was only in charge of the small envoys, and the judge of the Western Court was only the ambassador's minister, and when it came to the envoys and the higher horizontal classes and the army, their personnel power was completely in the hands of the Son of Heaven. The ministers can find many reasons for the fall of a general, but as long as the Son of Heaven has a thought, that general can make a comeback.

Di Qing was so wronged back then, so Xizong finally compensated the Di family. But in other words, it is a civil official, starting with Wen Yanbo, which civil official has regretted what happened back then?

But now there is no emperor, and even the replacement of the three government management troops has fallen into the hands of the prime ministers. When there is no chance to get ahead, and there is no response to the grievances received, the rift between the military generals and the civil servants will become deeper and deeper, and this qiē will inevitably burst out when it encounters a suitable time.

Therefore, a pressure relief valve is needed to relieve pressure, and the military generals must be informed that even if there is no emperor in charge now, Wenchen has not done what they want.

"Could it be Yan Fengchen?" Wang Hou asked.

"Since you can't be allowed to enter the Secret Academy now, who else can be qualified?" Han Gang said, "Guo Kui has retired, Chong Ge is dead, and the only one who is a famous general in the DPRK and China can still be firmly above Wang Jingsheng's generation of generals." ”

"It's true that there is only Yan Fengchen."

From Han Gang's words, Wang Hou could hear that his original intention was to make Yan Da the only military general in the Privy Council.

If he just nodded, what would Han Gang do?

Whether to try to make himself give up this idea, or to push himself up to the West Mansion - anyway, with Han Gang's methods, he will definitely be able to find another way to make up for it.

Yes. Anyway, with Han Gang's methods, no matter what kind of situation he encounters, he will be able to get his wish in the end.

Wang Hou came back to his senses in a chaotic and even angry thought, and now he had been silent for a long time. Han Gang's pair of fixed black eyes seemed to be taking all his thoughts into his eyes.

"But you can also reward the ...... of the three armies," Wang Hou casually found the topic.

"No, that's not appropriate." Han Gang said absolutely.

When the Son of Heaven ascends the throne, there will be a reward; After the Son of Heaven is established, there will be a reward; The Son of Heaven will be rewarded; The Son of Heaven sacrifices to the sky, and there will be a reward.

But now that the Son of Heaven is forbidden and has the right to do so, what are you doing to reward the three armies?

This is no longer jumping into the mud pit by itself, but into the dung pit.

"Now the focus is on appeasing the military ministers, not on bribing the soldiers. As long as the military ministers are stable, if the soldiers below dare to make trouble, if one appears, one will be dealt with. ”

Han Gang lightly used a 'disposition' without evil, but Wang Hou could already imagine what would happen to those soldiers who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Whenever the new monarch ascended the throne and needed to reward the three armies, there would be rumors that the imperial court was ready to give a big reward, and gold, silver, and copper coins would flow out of the treasury like water.

In the past, when Yingzong ascended the throne, there were rumors that gold would be hidden in the wine and food rewarded by the imperial court; When today's son ascended the throne, there were also rumors that the queen mother and prime minister were ready to pour out the treasury in order to calm people's hearts.

These rumors have raised the expectations of the whole camp in Beijing, and when the actual reward is not as good as expected, the soldiers will coerce other soldiers to start making trouble - these rumors were originally spread in order to blackmail the imperial court to give more rewards.

"They're in trouble." Wang Hou laughed deliberately. The laughter slightly diluted Fang Cai's embarrassment.

"It's not called difficult." Han Gang also smiled, a little lighter, Fang Cai's nervousness was already very unfamiliar and unaccustomed to him, "When everything is resolved now, there will be a major operation on the army." Han Gang used a very innovative word, but it was not difficult for people to understand, "I hope that you can help me at that time." ”

"Praetorian guards?" Wang Hou asked in surprise.

"The Queen Mother is recuperating in the palace, and there will be no changes in the guard."

Even if the Queen Mother is in the palace, Ban Zhi will continue to obey the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother is gone, at that time, who controls the class will be the focus.

Seeing that Han Gang was not arrogant enough to tear down the stage for himself, Wang Hou breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "I should serve my life." ”

……………………

"Xianggong."

Han Gang sent Wang Hou back, and Zong Ze was already standing in the study.

"Sit." In the middle of the night, after meeting with many people in a row, Han Gang still didn't get tired, and his speech was still gentle, "You were busy with the preparatory meeting of the Great Council, and you asked you to meet people, which is really hard." ”

Zong Ze sat down as he said, "Don't dare, this is Zong Ze's internal business." ”

"Have you seen Li Xian?" Han Gang also sat down.

"I've seen it. However, Li Xian still wanted to go abroad as an official and was unwilling to stay in Beijing. ”

After Zong Ze finished speaking, he looked at Han Gang with anxiety.

Han Gang and Zhang Dian both hoped that Li Xian could assist Wang Zhongzheng to stay in Beijing, after all, they had been to southern Xinjiang together and could be trusted, but Li Xian was still unwilling to serve in Beijing.

However, Li Xian did not resign from the official position, but hoped that Zong Ze could tell Han Gang that he could serve abroad for a few more years for the sake of his past feelings.

Zong Ze felt Li Xian's determination, so he had no intention of forcing him to accept Han Gang again. On the one hand, he felt that the twisted melon was not sweet, and forcibly forcing Li Xian to accept it would leave him with trouble, and on the other hand, he also felt that Li Xian's choice should be respected.

"Clever man." Han Gang sighed with a smile.

If Li Xian resigns and retires to old age, he will inevitably be said to be disgruntled, which angers the prime ministers, and it is difficult to be quiet.

It's just that if he is an outsider, looking at the past feelings, Han Gang will not treat him badly.

"Ru Lin," Han Gang asked, "You see how Li Xian should arrange it." ”

Zong Ze said: "Although Li Xian is a person who is left behind in prison, he has also served the country, and he has never failed the court, and the court should not be disappointed with him." ”

Han Gang was pleasant, and Zong Ze did not have congenital discrimination against eunuchs, which made Han Gang appreciate it very much. In fact, among the eunuchs, the proportion of traitors is not higher than that of scholars. The reason why they are always hostile to the scholars is simply because most of them are on the side of the Son of Heaven and think about things for the emperor. There is always a gap with the position of the scholars.

"Although Li Xian's body is disabled, his heart is not broken, he has opened up territory for the country, and he is a great husband who is upright, which is better than the eunuch who is afraid of thieves. It is not to be treated badly. It's just ......" Han Gang made it difficult again, "It's hard to arrange." ”

What is a eunuch? He is a slave of the Son of Heaven.

Serve the Son of Heaven inside, and serve the Son of Heaven outside.

Now that the emperor has been made into an ornament, the empress dowager has retired to the palace to recuperate, and as soon as the power is in the hands of the courtiers, the eunuchs have lost their foothold.

Unless he can become the hand of Zai Fu to control the palace like Wang Zhongzheng, there are only two ways to go, whether he is trapped in the palace or out of the commoner.

From the point of view of the Zaifu, although they still want to accept the bearance of the horses from all walks of life, and let the eyes and ears of these heavenly sons become their eyes and ears, it is only the position of the scholars that they must withdraw these eunuchs.

If Han Gang wants to arrange a eunuch as an official at the local level, there will definitely be a backlash at the local level, and as long as the state and county councils are formed, they will never be willing to be lonely.

Zong Ze said: "Actually, the palace view is enough. Looking at it from Ze's point of view, Li Xian's words are only to explain the doubts of the prime minister, not to be an official. ”

Han Gang nodded: "I know this." ”

Li Xian may not really want to be an official abroad, but he just shows that he doesn't want to mix any right and wrong. Let him serve as a palace official such as Taiyi Palace and Yuqing Palace for the elderly, which is a good solution.

It's just that Han Gang feels that it's inappropriate to do this, "Li Xianfei is not talentless, and he is not guilty, so he should not be put in the palace." If you do a good deed, you can't let him not end well, right? ”

Reward and punishment should be fair, this is the principle of governance.

And we must also take into account Wang Zhongzheng's thoughts, so as not to make Wang Zhongzheng's rabbit die and the fox is sad. Han Gang didn't say this sentence explicitly.

"If Li Xian is allowed to serve in the state and county, or on the road, it will affect the public's name. And the placement of Li Xian will be the system of posterity. Although there are not many officials in the palace eunuch temple, there are dozens, Li Xian is going out alone, and tomorrow there will be dozens of eunuchs going out. ”

"Most of them still won't leave, people are needed in the palace, but they won't enter in the future." Glancing at Zong Ze, who wanted to speak and stopped, Han Gang said, "A person who has no fault, mutilating his limbs, is not done by Renjun, even if he needs to drive out eunuchs, it is better to use foreign Yi in the future, and it is not appropriate to use Han people." Regardless of the fact that this is a matter for the future. In addition to Li Xian, it is indeed inconvenient for some eunuchs to stay in the palace, and it is also inconvenient to arrange them in the state and county. ”

Zong Ze suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I remember that Cheng Fang once managed the affairs of Tuntian." ”

"Silt fields. Divert water from the Yellow River to silt fields in Hebei. Han Gang corrected and nodded again, this idea is not bad, the specific position of construction work, and it is indeed a way to let eunuchs participate in the management. They were much more talented than many scholars.

"The construction of various things under the jurisdiction of Zhongshumen can indeed be participated in by eunuchs, but this is hard work."

"But to participate in the construction, it is inevitable to transfer the military and civilians, but I am afraid of ......"

"It's okay." Han Gang laughed, he still had to worry about eunuchs starting a rebellion outside, "This generation is not afraid when they go out...... he thought about it again, "Wang Zhongzheng's son will also arrange it together when the time comes." ”

“…… Which one? ”

"Just ask Wang Zhongzheng."

Wang Zhongzheng has two sons, one is the adopted son who stayed in the palace, and the other is also an adopted son, but he is the heir, in fact, Wang Zhongzheng's own nephew. Because of Wang Zhongzheng's merits and status, both of them have been compensated. Anyone can go out and do things.

"Yes." Zong Ze nodded.

"How's the preparation for the Great Council Preparation?"

Zong Ze said: "As soon as Qiē is ready, just wait for everyone to arrive." ”

Basically, the preparatory meeting of the Great Council this time was mainly to discuss politics, plus a group of elders.

However, now there are very few veterans and important ministers who have served in the two governments and two systems, Fu Bi, Lu Gongshu, Wang Qi, and Han Jiang are no longer alive, and many of the remaining are too old to enter Beijing, and there are less than ten fingers that can really come.

Han Gang nodded, but did not speak. After a while, he asked, "There have been some changes in the past few days, what do you think of this big council now?" ”

Zong Ze got up and saluted Han Gang respectfully, "Zong Ze's meaning is still the same as before." This move can be described as the most public and upright, without the slightest selfishness, which can be expressed every day and learned from the people. ”

Because the plan proposed by Han Gang is far more popular with most scholars than other plans. What's more, with the council and the state and county councils in front of them, a big council was already within the expectations of many people, so Han Gang was not worried that there would be too many people who would oppose it.

This is the standard separation of powers, which is completely modeled after later generations. It's just that the plan that Han Gang came up with came entirely from his memory that was no longer very reliable. In fact, there are many details that Han Gang can't remember very clearly. However, just looking at this one system, it is already very strict, and all parties check each other, so that one family cannot dominate. There is nothing more wonderful than this system for the ministers who have no dragons.

Han Gang was actually not going to implement this council. If the Queen Mother has no physical problems, Han Gang is sure that the emperor and Zhang Dian will survive until they leave, and at that time, even if the parliament is to be held, it is not in the current form.

"It's a pity that Xianggong is sincere, but people are not satisfied, and now I am afraid that I am not satisfied with this. In particular, Duke Wen has seen that he has been involved in military affairs, and he will fight for this at the meeting in Japan. ”

Han Gang nodded, what Zong Ze said was right, this was also what he thought, "Indeed, this matter must be worried." ”

"This one, too. Second, if I thought about it today, the queen mother is also recuperating in the palace, and the prime minister really needs to restrain it, but the articles and provisions set by the prime minister are too harsh. Self-tied, difficult to discipline. ”

This Han Gang can't nod, this is the key, "Even if the four dimensions are not open, it is not easy to impeach the prime minister, as long as the parliament cannot abolish the prime minister at will, and the parliamentarians cannot be resident in Beijing, this discipline can still be maintained." ”

To impeach the prime minister for a crime, first, two-thirds of the members of the Great Council must be approved, and second, nine members of the Great Council must be accredited. Six of the judges jointly found the prime minister guilty. Big. The nomination of the judge comes from the minister. The Great Council impeached the Great. Judges, likewise require two-thirds of the members of the parliament to pass guò. Therefore, it is almost impossible to achieve the goal of impeaching the prime minister.

"But, Xianggong, will the Zhang Xiang Guild be willing?"

Facing the worried Zong Ze, Han Gang laughed, "Why is he unwilling?" ”

……………………

"Yes, of course I do."

"For my father's age, how many years can I be the prime minister?"

"I just said that I can't be re-elected, but do you say that I can't serve again?"

"If Han Gang doesn't come up with these terms, can you and I rest assured?"

In the night, in the light, Zhang Dian was also revealing his heart to his son.

Han Gang stepped down five years later, leaving only five years for Zhang Dian to dominate. Within five years, it is impossible to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne, and it is even difficult to live for another ten years or another ten years.

Han Gang lets go now and makes a comeback in the future, without Zhang Dun, who can stop him? Rely on Zhang Qi? By Shen Kuo? Or does it depend on Lu Huiqing?

"Remember. The father's current enemy is not Han Gang! ”
