Since this matter is most related to the interests of the ministry, it is natural that after a short discussion, everyone's eyes fell on Sun Piyang, the secretary of the ministry.

As the head of the six ministries, Sun Shangshu theoretically has the qualifications to raise the bar with the cabinet, and now that the Shoufu boss has shown the battle flag, it can be regarded as a signal for the cabinet to attack the ministry.

The dispute between the cabinet and the ministry is also one of the long-standing internal contradictions of the Ming Dynasty, and the main object of struggle is the cabinet and the six ministries, more precisely, the officials of the head of the six ministries.

The previous ministers of the Ministry of Shangshu, Lord Lu Guangzu, Lord Sun Yan, all of them were ambitious, and wanted to make the Ministry of Officials the first yamen of the Ming Dynasty in the real sense, so they worked hard and regained the initiative from the hands of the cabinet little by little, but it is a pity that Sun Yan made a bad move, angered the emperor, and was sent back to his hometown, which led to Sun Piyang's ascendancy.

After the second Sun Shangshu took office, he has always been conservative about the cabinet, basically maintaining the level of well water and not river water, but everyone seems to have forgotten that as long as the cabinet and the six ministries still exist, the dispute between the cabinet and the cabinet will exist.

The officials have retreated for a long time, and this time the cabinet first lit up the battle flag, will Sun Shangshu, who has always valued peace, continue to retreat? Or will they rise up and maintain the position of the officials in the foreign courts?

You know, this is not a general problem, the old Shoufu's letter involves the core power of the ministry, if the ministry continues to retreat, I'm afraid it will really be subservient to the cabinet in the future.

Both in substance and in name!

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister thinks that Lord Yuanfu is so negligent...... It's not right! ”

Sun Shangshu muttered for a long time in the scorching eyes of everyone, and finally exhaled lightly, stepped forward, and spoke seriously.

A group of officials who followed behind Sun Shangshu also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, although they didn't think it was possible, but if Lord Shangshu retreated again, they were afraid that they would not be able to see anyone when they walked out.

However, Sun Piyang's attitude suddenly made Wang Xijue frown, his eyes became deep, and he said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong, Sun Shangshu might as well say it clearly!"

At the same time, other cabinet scholars, regardless of the internal faction at this moment, all stood beside Wang Xijue, and the biggest habit of civil officials was that it was easy to get together.

Identity determines the position, and there may be fights between them in the cabinet in normal times, but in the cabinet dispute, their status as cabinet ministers determines that they must come forward with Wang Xijue.

What's more, if you can really do what Wang Xijue said, the status of the cabinet in the DPRK will undoubtedly soar again, and the weight of the cabinet is the weight of their cabinet auxiliary ministers!

"Yuan Fu is sparse in the words, the national government is important, but the word of the official, the weight of the official's rule, is the head of the government, if the government is not clear, the government is not smooth, the people are uneasy, so the government has always been important to the holy monarch!

The old man has no objection to what Yuan Fu said about the importance of the rule of officials, but the establishment of the cabinet was originally an adviser to the emperor for inquiry, the so-called reconciliation of the government and government, in the center of the center, in fact, it is a big mistake, the center of the center is in the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, where is the cabinet?

The cabinet is in charge of the vote, has the right to predict the secret, and assists the power of the holy monarch, but the old man tastes it, before my dynasty, the so-called power of the prime minister is to predict the secret, criticize and answer, supervise the administration, and take charge of the government.

Even though the first cabinet has the power to predict important information, but still covets the important task of administrative supervision, does it not want to be the assistant again?

Emperor Taizu abolished the book and emphasized the six, with the six as the head of the court, this is the ancestral system, the old man does not know when, there is a heavy cabinet and light six remarks in the monarch before, dare to ask Yuanfu, intent to reproduce the system of the book? ”

In everyone's impression, Sun Piyang is the image of a good old man, and he is smiling when he sees people, as a secretary of the ministry, but he has never had the majesty of those heavenly officials in the past, and he is even more low-key in the government.

Even in some tricky official appointments, he is rarely stubborn, and most of the time he will sell the face of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, and look like he is kind to others.

But it makes people forget that no matter how kind he looks on the outside, this is also a serious 800 official Shangshu, the head of a hundred officials in the foreign court!

The words were unhurried, and even had the usual smile on his face, but these few words couldn't help but make the bigwigs shudder.

What is the meaning of killing without seeing blood, and what is the words of punishing the heart, just listen to these words!

At the beginning, Emperor Taizu abolished the Chinese book and dismissed the prime minister, and there was once an ancestral precept handed down.

In the future, the heir will not have to discuss the prime minister, and the subordinates will ask for the establishment...... Death penalty!

Although no one thought that with such a sentence, the emperor would really punish the courtiers to death, but the iron law of Emperor Taizu was in front of him, and no one dared to touch it.

Sun Piyang said that Wang Xijue intended to be Zaifu again, which can be said to be completely torn in the face!

Of course, since it was the cabinet that made the first move, it must be ready to tear its face with the officials, but in fact, at this moment, the big guys, not only the cabinet ministers, but also the six ministries and seven secretaries, are mostly surprised and surprised.

What is surprising is that with Sun Piyang's character, he would refute Wang Xijue so clearly, and say it so politely, this is not like his character......

As for the accident, it was because before today, almost all the bigwigs present had contact with Wang Xijue openly and secretly, and the cabinet ministers, needless to say, had already formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

Several other ministry bigwigs have also more or less come into contact with the goodwill from the cabinet, and the boss even revealed his meaning, if these bigwigs don't get in the way in this purge of officials, they will return a proper share of the benefits.

Those who can mix to the level of the big guy are human spirits, so naturally they can hear that the old man Yuanfu revealed this meaning, which already means that he has a good chance of winning in his heart, and he doesn't even care much about their position.

Otherwise, even if you don't come in person, you will at least give more specific and attractive conditions, and this self-confidence will undoubtedly fall on the officials.

It is not difficult for the bigwigs to think that at the previous court meeting, the Son of Heaven instructed someone to come forward to impeach Sun Piyang, and this case has not been tried until now.

If you just look at the confident appearance of the old man Yuanfu, I am afraid of Sun Shangshu's doughy temperament, and I am afraid that he will give in to the bottom line.

But it was in this situation that Sun Shangshu, who seemed to be always kind to others, unexpectedly gave everyone a big surprise this time!

Could it be that the purge of officials has not yet begun, and the officials and the cabinet will have to fight first? 19
