Chapter 46: When you hear the drums, don't think about it! (2nd Update)

In this world, the strong will never sympathize with the weak, unless the weak prove that they have enough strength, otherwise, even if you are a weapon in the hands of the strong, you will not be respected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

And Zhu Changluo is in the hearts of those civil servants, and he is the weapon of their game with the emperor!

At least in Zhu Changluo's heart, he thinks so, even if he used the ministers of the foreign dynasty as a threat to persuade Shenzong to let him out of the palace, but this is essentially just using each other!

What the ministers care about is not him, but the identity of the emperor's eldest son, and they need to use the battle of the country to maintain the dignity of etiquette and law, to safeguard the interests of the Wenchen group, and to fight against the emperor!

So when there is another thing that is more related to their own interests, Zhu Changluo is not so important to them!

The autumn sun is not warm, but looks a little solemn in the wind.

For ordinary people, this is just an ordinary day, but for Wenchen, who is about to move, this day is a fateful day.

Three days ago, Shen Shixing, the first assistant of the cabinet, officially asked for Zhishi, and the emperor repeatedly retained him, but he had no choice but to play! Give the prince a young master, and take the official post!

At this point, the discredited Shousuke has withdrawn from the stage of history, and everyone is more concerned about who will take over the post of Shousuke, and how the situation in the cabinet will change!

The first assistant, the leader of the entire Wenchen, although he is not the prime minister, is not far away, and he said unceremoniously that Shen Shixing's request to go will bring waves to the entire court, which will be extremely huge, and will even affect every official!

Don't think that the dispute between the first and the second is a matter for the cabinet and has nothing to do with ordinary officials.

The Wenchen group of the Ming Dynasty, each of which is inextricably linked, especially since the fourteenth year of Wanli, the gradual rise of the partisan dispute, the position of the first assistant finally falls to whom, will affect the interests of the entire faction behind him, and correspondingly, those who are not in harmony with this faction will also be suppressed, which is a common thing!

Therefore, the so-called dispute between the first and the second is really related to the vital interests of every official!

However, everyone also knows that just as the selection is tied to the hands of the ministers, the vast majority of the selection of ministers depends on the holy will, especially the first and auxiliary candidates, which have always been the discretion of the Sacred Heart and the appointment of the Central Will, which is also the most important role of the Central Will! Only at this time will the ministers recognize the validity of the decree, after all, the position of the first assistant is not the power of the minister!

So on this seemingly ordinary day, all the ministers received the news that the emperor Yude Palace summoned all the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet to meet him!

Although it was not stated what it was, it was clear to everyone that the position of the first assistant was about to be chosen!

Yude Palace.

Although the Divine Sect was as serious as ever, everyone inexplicably sensed that he was in a good mood.

"Everyone, love Qing Ping! I have summoned all of you today, there are two things, one is that the Yuan Fu has worked hard for the country, and now he is asking to go, and the position of the First Assistant cannot be vacant! The second is to discuss the matter of candidates for the cabinet! Gentlemen are the humerus of the country, and you can speak freely! ”

Straight to the point, Shenzong didn't say any polite words, and went straight to the point.

The cabinet began at the time of Chengzu, since Emperor Taizu abolished the prime minister's dismissal of the book, Chengzu followed the Song system, so that his cronies entered the cabinet, awarded the title of scholar, and initially set five people, but because the cabinet candidates largely depend on the emperor, so the cabinet members generally range from three to six.

At this time, before Shen Shixing went, he was a scholar of the Middle Pole Palace, and the second assistant was a vacancy of the Pole Hall Scholar, Wang Xijue was appointed as a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Zhao Zhigao was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Zhang Wei was appointed as a scholar of Dongge University, a total of four.

In terms of power, the first assistant has the heaviest power, followed by the second assistant, the scholar of Wuyingdian University, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and finally the scholar of Dongge University.

Therefore, even in the cabinet, there are factions, the first assistant Shen Shixing has its own faction, needless to say, Wang Xijue, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, is the most trusted by the emperor, and he is also a faction of his own, while on the other hand, Zhao Zhigao and Zhang Wei, who are weaker, are close to each other, barely a faction, and check and balance each other.

And now that Shen Shixing is gone, the three-legged momentum does not exist, so it is natural to have a game.

"Your Majesty, the stakes are very high, and you can't make a decision! According to the minister's opinion, in order to ensure justice, it is more appropriate to push by the court! ”

As soon as Shenzong's words fell, Zhao Zhigao, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, stood up and spoke.

There are generally two ways for scholars to be promoted, one is that the emperor has already selected a candidate and directly issued an order to finalize, while the other is that the emperor is hesitant in his heart, so he will order the six departments and nine ministers to be recommended by the court, which is for the court!

This method is somewhat similar to the election system of later generations, where the officials nominate the candidates, and the emperor approves them and then votes on them by the six ministries and nine secretaries!

Zhao Zhigao knew that Wang Xijue was trusted by the emperor, so in order to prevent the emperor from directly finalizing the first assistant, he said it before everyone spoke.

"Your Majesty, Yichen thinks that this move is inappropriate! The responsibility of the first assistant is great, now that the first assistant has gone, the major events in the DPRK and China have been backlogged for many days, and it takes a lot of time for the court to push, and now the battle of North Korea has not been pacified, and the year is approaching, the officials are examined, and the household taxes are all busy and tight, if they are pulled into the cabinet from the outer court, they will inevitably be in a hurry, and they are the ministers who boldly ask His Majesty to make a decision in the sacred heart, so as to determine the hearts of the ministers! ”

These words were said by Wang Xijue, since he knew that Shen Shixing had the intention of going, Wang Xijue regarded the position of first assistant as his own bag, after all, among the ministers, he was the only one who had this qualification, and he was enough to be trusted by the emperor!

However, he also understood that after Shen Shixing went, these two would not be separated in peace, so he had already prepared his rhetoric, and now it seems that he is a little unhurried, and Zhao Zhigao means that the court pushes the first assistant, but in his mouth, he has become a court pusher.

Changing the concept is a skillful way to play.

The two ministers went toe-to-toe, and their opinions were completely different, and the final decision was naturally in the hands of Shenzong, but Wang Xijue was originally full of confidence, and the emperor would definitely support him, after all, he was usually the emperor's most trusted person!

But the strange thing is that this time the emperor was strangely silent, and after a while, he turned his attention to the equally silent Dongge University Scholar, Zhang Wei!

"What does Zhang Aiqing think?"

Wang Xijue's heart swelled with a hint of foreboding, but he still comforted himself in his heart, maybe His Majesty just wanted to be more justified, but the next moment, he couldn't laugh......

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the two gentlemen said is reasonable, but Yuan Fu is very important, and it is most appropriate to use Tingtui!"

Zhang Wei is usually a low-key person, but this time he was just trying his best to obey the fate of heaven, and he didn't have much hope of stopping Wang Xijue, but Wang Xijue's tone of pointing at the country really angered him, and as soon as he thought of this, Zhang Wei's attitude became firm.

"This ......"

Shenzong's brows furrowed slightly, obviously a little hesitant.

He trusts Wang Xijue very much, and also believes that this person can be a good first assistant, originally after Shen Shixing left, he really wanted Wang Xijue to take over.

But for some reason, it really came to this day, but his heart suddenly appeared in his heart when Zhu Changluo left the palace that day!

If one day he becomes Shousuke, will he still be of the same heart and mind as you?

Although he knew that Zhu Changluo was deliberately sowing discord, Shenzong had to admit that what he said was the truth, the position of the first assistant was very delicate, as the head of a hundred officials, his words and deeds were regarded as the dignity of civil officials, if Wang Xijue was in his position, could he really be with him?

This thought made Shenzong's heart a little irritable, it would be good if he didn't believe in Wang Xijue so much, but he relied on Wang Xijue very much, and the more Shenzong relied on him, the more worried he was that after he became the first assistant, he would stand on the opposite side of himself......

No one thought that Wang Xijue's biggest advantage turned out to be his biggest disadvantage, and all of this was because of Zhu Changluo!

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been assisting Bi for many years, and they are dedicated to the peace of the harem and the court, and they are selfless! Yuanfu's heavy responsibility cannot be left for a long time, please think twice! ”

Although he didn't know what Shenzong was hesitating, this hesitant attitude was enough to make Wang Xijue feel dangerous, so he knelt down without hesitation and said bitterly.

This is the beginning of the emotional card......

"Wang Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, let's get up first!"

Seeing this scene, a trace of unbearability flashed in Shenzong's eyes, in all fairness, Wang Xijue has indeed been doing his best to help him over the years, whether it is the dispute over the country or other government affairs, if there is no him, I am afraid that Shenzong will not be able to command the affairs of the court.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt that he was a little sorry for Wang Xijue, and after taking a breath, Shenzong's heart suddenly made a decision, and he said in a deep voice.

"I have made up my mind, and the position of Yuanfu ......"

Seeing that Shenzong's attitude turned to Wang Xijue again, Zhao Zhigao's heart suddenly rose again, although his face could still remain calm, but he had already scolded someone in his heart.

His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, if you don't make a move, everything will be a foregone conclusion!

At the same time, there was a sudden sound of "dong" and "dong" outside the palace, from far to near, the drum was heavy, as if it was beating on everyone's heart, Zhao Zhigao was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Suddenly his heart was shocked, and he shouted out involuntarily.

"Dengwen Drum?!"
