According to the practice of the cabinet, it is generally drafted directly by the cabinet ministers who take over the performance, and then sent to the palace, but when encountering some major military and political affairs, it is not a matter that a cabinet minister can decide.

And today, Ye Xianggao's recital is very special, he discussed the matter of purging officialdom, and as we all know, just a few days ago, Lao Shoufu just presented a clear official note on Sinong Temple, asking the Son of Heaven to stabilize the situation and clean up the officials, but the attitude of the Son of Heaven is extremely ambiguous.

The Son of Heaven did not say yes or disagree, but only said that the matter was very important, so that the ministers would be distracted, and then the cabinet would organize a court meeting, gather the heads of all families, and agree on the final policy of purging officials.

So far, everyone can see that the Son of Heaven has the intention to rectify the rule of officials, but what to do is confusing the ministers.

However, this does not affect the ministers of the court and the central government to play their own small calculations in their hearts, since the Son of Heaven issued an edict to the ministers to neglect things, then naturally there are people who are willing to go to the book, and the cabinet has received a lot of chapters large and small these days, all of which are discussing how to purge the rule of officials.

Although there was chaos and innumerability, in general they were divided into two factions, one faction supported the old chief's assistant to the Dingguo Qing officials, and believed that it was necessary to clarify the powers and responsibilities of the yamen, curb the atmosphere of officialdom passing the buck to each other, improve the status of the cabinet, and use the cabinet to supervise the administrative affairs of the six ministries and the yamen, in order to make the officialdom new.

At this time, you can see how high Wang Xijue's reputation is in the officialdom.

In fact, many of the suggestions he put forward have harmed the interests of most officials in the imperial court, but even so, there are still countless people who are willing to follow in the footsteps of the old first assistant, of course, most of them are the old ministers of the first emperor, and the factional color is not particularly strong, since the death of the first emperor, they have spontaneously united around the old first assistant.

The other faction is much more complicated, there are veteran ministers with profound qualifications, there are also new Jinke Dao Qingliu who are full of hard work, and there are many obscure but united with a lot of soy sauce party, their performance is about to be gathered into a point, the imperial court system has its own use, and there is no redundancy and variety, the morale of officialdom is declining, in fact, it is just because of people, they advocate a large-scale assessment and review of officialdom, and promote new officials with outstanding virtue, so as to govern the rule of officials.

Although the origins of the people of this faction are complicated, they all have a common characteristic, and behind them, they all have the shadow of several major parties in the DPRK and China, especially the Zhejiang Party, which is the main force among these people.

However, to this day, there are no bigwigs in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, but some low-level officials have been introduced to test the waters.

As for the six ministries and seven secretaries and cabinet assistants, except for Wang Xijue, no one has publicly expressed their attitude.

It can be seen from this that Ye Xianggao's recital has a lot of weight, although Ye Xianggao is just a servant of the ministry, but the people who jointly wrote with him are the dignified ministers and cabinet ministers.

Although the two of them are not the first signatories, even if they are joint, it is enough to show their attitude.

This is the first time in these days that a bigwig among the six ministers and ministers of the Cabinet of the Seventh Secretary of State has clearly expressed his attitude.

What's more, looking at the three people who are jointly named, in addition to the official positions in the court, Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao are both close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the imperial party is in the same vein, although they have experienced such a turmoil, which has caused Li Tingji's prestige to plummet, but it still can't change the fact that he is still relied on by the Son of Heaven.

The results of the reward just a few days ago clearly confirmed this, that is to say, Li Tingji's statement is to a large extent the meaning of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the attitude of the imperial party.

Besides, on top of this signature, there is also a big name of Sun Piyang, the secretary of the ministry, and anyone who has a heart can now see that Sun Tianguan, the official of the ministry, is now the only son of heaven.

Since he has signed it jointly, it can only be said that more than eighty percent of this recital may have been instructed by the Son of Heaven!

In other words, the significance of this note marks the emergence of a third voice in the court, although the number is not large, but there is a Son of Heaven standing behind it, and it is conceivable that this voice will not be weaker than any faction.

And this new voice, which seems to have something in common with the first two, is actually fundamentally different.

First of all, those who support Wang Xijue's lineage, Lao Shoufu's entire reform policy has a major premise guarantee, that is, the stability of the court situation, for a Shoufu who has been in power for many years, he has seen with his own eyes how tragic Zhang Juzheng's reform is, so he knows that this kind of reform carried out through high pressure and strong control cannot be maintained for a long time.

At the time of Zhang Juzheng, no one could say anything about his new policy, but as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, his efforts immediately came to naught.

With this kind of experience from the past, Lao Shoufu has always felt in his heart that in order to truly maintain the reform for a long time, it is necessary to first maintain the stability of the situation in the DPRK, and only a strong ruling group can maintain the continuity of this reform policy.

Therefore, he prefers to wait until he has the ability to pull most of the forces in the DPRK to his side, so that he can be sure that his reforms will not only succeed, but will continue.

It's not that he doesn't know that the so-called heavy cabinet and light six ministries will make the Son of Heaven dissatisfied, but now the six ministries are weak, and none of the six Shangshu is known for being tough, but the cabinet is the leader of the two major factions of the Zhejiang Party and the Imperial Party, and there is even the very prestigious Zhen Zhenji of the Kedao lineage, as long as he can reach an agreement with them, then most of the power of the imperial court will be in his hands.

This is the intention of his original suggestion, originally he thought that the new ascension to the throne of the Son of Heaven, even if he was dissatisfied, would not show it, but what he didn't expect was that today's movements were too fast, the wrists were too strong, and in a short period of time, he established prestige in the court bureau, and had enough power to compete with him.

Knowing this, he shouldn't have let Shen Li and Zhu Geng fight with the emperor for any mining tax......

But it's useless to regret it now, Ye Xianggao's recital, or the meaning of the Son of Heaven, is already clear, since he wants to do it, he has to clean up the court, and the difference between Zhu Changluo is that what is the situation above the court now, Wang Xijue's heart is actually the same as Mingjing, it is not too much to say that there is no official and no corruption.

In his spare time, Wang Xijue also read some current scripts, and there is a sentence in these stories that impressed the old Shoufu very deeply, called the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, which shows how prevalent the corruption in officialdom is.

But the old Shoufu knows better that since this situation has developed to this point, if you want to start rectifying, you must make a big move, and you really have to track it down, and the court doesn't know how many officials will fall one after another, and said unceremoniously, if it is really investigated according to the rules, at least seventy percent of the people at this court will lose their official positions......
