Chapter 714: Poor Dagger?
It wasn't until this moment that Wang Xijue realized that although he vaguely knew the progress of the whole matter, from beginning to end, Shen Hong's case was investigated by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the case files were sealed in the factory guards, and it was Yang Lian who came forward to impeach Jiang Shixin, and it was the Metropolitan Procuratorate that was responsible for the trial, and even the final repetition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was submitted to the cabinet.
He believed that with the joint efforts of the factory guards and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jiang Shixin would inevitably reveal many unknown secrets and many important evidence, but these things were not in his hands.
For a long time, it was not his Wang Xijue who held Sun Piyang's lifeline, but the one who stood high on the throne and thought that he had been designed by himself!
When he thought that he had solved all the forces in the DPRK and China and could carry out his own political reform without any scruples, he realized that the most important line had been pinched in the hands of the Son of Heaven.
In an instant, a fine and dense cold sweat broke out on Wang Xijue's head.
In the historical cabinet disputes, a large part of the battle is in the fight for holy grace, the emperor supports the cabinet, the ministry will show disadvantage, the emperor secretly helps the minister, the cabinet will be suppressed, this is a long-standing truth.
It's just that because the cabinet is close to the emperor, most of the time, the emperor relies more on the cabinet, so in the cabinet dispute, most of the cabinet has the upper hand.
But now Wang Xijue suddenly realized that now after Yang Lian's impeachment, Sun Piyang has been caught in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and on the other hand, the relationship between himself and the Son of Heaven has always been in a relatively delicate position, and many times the Son of Heaven respects his own opinions on various matters, but this also means that the Son of Heaven cannot fully believe in himself.
In addition to himself, Zhen Zhenji's attitude is ambiguous, often swaying from side to side, while Shen Zhu and Shen Zhu are both one, and the relationship with the Son of Heaven is even worse, Li Tingji is too busy to take care of himself, and now he is completely falling to the Son of Heaven.
Unconsciously, the entire court situation has been in the hands of the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven is heavy on the cabinet, then the officials have no power to resist, and if the Son of Heaven is heavy on the ministry, can the cabinet really tear off a piece of meat from the officials?
With the support of the Son of Heaven, the Ministry definitely has the strength to compete with the Cabinet, not to mention that the current Cabinet seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is divided.
That is to say, after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne and controlled the extreme, but in just over two months, he already had the power to influence the situation, and even if he was the first assistant, as long as the Son of Heaven had a thought, the reform of the government that he had painstakingly planned would immediately collapse.
It's ridiculous that he has always thought that everything is under control, but he doesn't know that today is the one who overlooks the world and sees everything!
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xijue finally straightened his mentality, turned around, and said slowly.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the old minister does have omissions in this performance, but a piece of public heart, the sun and the moon can be learned, there is no intention to establish a Zai Fu again, my dynasty regulations, grace is from the top, and the election of officials should also be the same, the purging of officials is related to the national system, and the old ministers are only sacred!"
When the words fell, the ministers were shocked again, Lord Yuanfu is ...... Softened?
Just because of Sun Piyang's impassioned statement?
Could it be that they are all wrong, this time it is not the cabinet that wants to raise the battle flag against the ministry, but the ministry is preparing to counterattack the cabinet?
Don't care what the minister thinks, the other bigwigs present are like Spiegel in their hearts.
Looking at the old Shousuke's bow, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
From today onwards, the imperial court may really usher in a new situation, they all think that the Son of Heaven will completely control the court situation, at least until the imperial party occupies a dominant position in the court, but who would have thought that more than two months, without anyone noticing.
The officials were held in the hands of the Son of Heaven, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was held in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and the two cores of the outer court were controlled by the Son of Heaven, and then looked at the inner court, Shen and Zhu seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact, because of the matter of the court and other ministers, the second assistant Zhenji has a vague tendency to move closer to the Son of Heaven, and Li Tingji has already stood on the side of the Son of Heaven, leaving the old chief assistant Wang Xijue is still in the dark, thinking that he can cooperate with the Son of Heaven on an equal footing, but unknowingly, The cabinet is no longer the era of his family's dominance, with the intervention of the Son of Heaven, the cabinet has long been divided, not to mention the inner palace, whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, only the Son of Heaven is the first to look forward, this is the first emperor to pave the way for today's son when he was alive.
The three major departments of the outer court, the inner court, the inner palace, and the imperial court have all been silently infiltrated and controlled by the Son of Heaven, and in the process of all this, the Son of Heaven has not even used his own imperial forces.
The only one who was pushed out was Li Tingji alone!
As the old Shoufu bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, it also means that no one in the entire court will be able to compete with the Son of Heaven, take it and take it, and do it with one heart, and it only took two months to do it now......
"Yuanfu doesn't have to be like this, you gentlemen are the former ministers of the emperor, my father entrusted the Ming Dynasty to me, I hope you can do your best to assist, in order to rectify the dynasty, Yuanfu has the heart to rectify the rule of officials, it is for the court, I am very relieved, as for Sun Shangshu just said, too reckless, Yuanfu does not have to care, the rule of the officials, I am important, and then rectify the rule of the officials, and move the whole body, not recklessly, Yuanfu has this intention, from tomorrow, the ministers will discuss the Yuanfu this sparse, the cabinet gathers the will of the people, pay to the court, Then report it to me! ”
Zhu Changluo was on top of the throne, nodded slightly, and said softly.
Yes, he did calculate Wang Xijue, if it were not for Wang Xijue's cooperation, it would be difficult for him to implement his intentions in the court so smoothly, let alone pocket the officials so easily, and he could not hold the court in his own hands through various checks and balances in such a short period of time.
And from the beginning, he did not intend to accept Wang Xijue's reform plan in its entirety, it should be said that his reform direction is right, but if it is changed to any emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he will not accept this plan, which is also the reason why his father has been pressing Wang Xijue's performance.
His notebook overemphasizes the importance of the cabinet, and the weight of the cabinet, if it continues to be strengthened, will undoubtedly threaten the existence of imperial power and break the principle of mutual checks and balances in the Ming Dynasty, so this plan will be suppressed if it is exchanged for any emperor.
But Zhu Changluo didn't, he didn't accept it, he didn't refuse, he chose another method, another ...... A method that no one thought of! 21019
