Chapter 523: A Looming Omen

"How can there be such a thing, it is just some business held by the family, although the income is a lot, but the consumption is correspondingly large, plus all kinds of losses, in fact, it is only a slight subsidy, and the old man has always not asked much. [No pop-up novel network] "Wang Wei waved his hand again and again, categorically denying it.

He scolded Hong Zhong in his heart, why did he provoke such a topic? Isn't it messy enough? If there were a group of more people who saw the benefits of the Red Sea trade, wouldn't the momentum of annihilating the party be even greater and more difficult to control?

What's more, what he said is not all lies, as the head of the family and an official in the court, how can he have time to pay attention to those things at sea? As long as he can ensure the annual income, he doesn't care so much.

The most important thing is that although the profits of sea trade are large, they are not so big as the annual income of 10 million taels! Xie Hong's millions of taels were transported back to the capital, but he robbed nearly 100 maritime merchants to get them, and God knows what his idea was.

"For today's big plan is to hoe and annihilate, and it's not too late to mention this matter later."

Li Dongyang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly came out to play a round, now is not the time for infighting, even if the catastrophe in Liaodong is true, everyone must work together, so that there is hope for hoeing and annihilation, if there is another dispute in his own family, then he will be completely powerless.

And he also knew that Jiangnan people would not spit out the meat easily, but the benefits were moving, and others might not give up, so he just postponed the matter and redirected the topic back.

"Alas!" Speaking of this stubble, the anger caused by the sea trade is gone, and it is replaced by a sigh.

"Recently, the emperor has also been unusual, frequently holding court meetings, Li Ge Lao, as you can see, ...... of them"

In fact, since these days, Zhengde's behavior is also very strange, although he is often late, but the early dynasty system has suddenly recovered, Zhengde must arrive every day, if you ignore the content of the court, everyone even has the illusion of going back to two years ago.

can think of that court meeting, the courtiers' hearts are full of blood and tears, the style of that strange court meeting has been maintained, every time the court Zhengde is like a forced debt, forcing them to play, otherwise it is a bully.

Who can stand this? Although the affairs of the world are concentrated in the capital, it may be conveyed to everyone, and there are only so many that need to be decided through the court meeting.

If, according to the old practice, everything had to be discussed repeatedly and finally settled after a great dispute, then even if the court meeting had been held night and night for several months, it would not have been able to deal with it.

But now the practice has changed, after one thing is finished, the emperor either puts it aside noncommittally, or sets a tone or even a conclusion in the court, leaving no room for discussion at all.

Of course, there are no discussions, but no one is relieved, because if that happens, it means that someone will be dismissed.

Of course, the people who were dismissed were miserable, but the bystanders were just as sad, who knows who will be unlucky next? Who can guarantee that it is not themselves who are unlucky?

"Among them, there is really some deep meaning...... Li Dongyang shook his head and smiled bitterly, deep meaning, of course there is deep meaning, which one of the things that the demon did was targeted? You can't see it, it's just that you can't think of it for a while.

Young people have more strange ideas, and they are always within the scope of people's understanding, for example, the emperor's strangeness has reached a certain realm, which ordinary people can't understand, but after all, there are traces to follow.

But for Xie Hong, Li Dongyang smiled bitterly in addition to a wry smile, although he often seemed very shallow, but when this young man was scheming, even he, a university scholar, would take a long time and the same energy to get a glimpse of it.

"The emperor seems to be messing around at the court meeting, but he is actually doing business......"

"Business?" Most of the people were taken aback, and only a few people such as Yang Tinghe showed thoughtful expressions.

"Yes, isn't the government affairs of the world a serious matter?"

"However, the emperor is clearly ......," Zhang Sheng questioned.

This statement is too incredible, yes, all the discussions in the court are government affairs, but the emperor made a decision in an extreme time, or he was noncommittal at the time, and made a decision the next day, which is not so much efficient as taking national affairs as a child's play.

"Gong Zhang, think about it carefully, Li Gelao's words are reasonable, the emperor's decision, although there are many difficult to make a conclusion, but most of the handling opinions are decent, and there are a few ingenious, but they can make people's eyes shine, if it is a mess, it is too ......"

Yang Tinghe wanted to speak again and again, but everyone understood his unfinished intentions, if the nonsense can achieve this effect, then all the princes of the court and the central government will simply go home to farm, and all political affairs involve many people, how can it be so simple?

However, if you want to say that it is not what the emperor thinks, then ...... "is it difficult to be ......" Wang Wei was shocked, the institution that assists the emperor in handling government affairs sounds very familiar, and it is actually very familiar, because Wenyuan Pavilion, where he reports every day, is such a place.

Yang Tinghe said: "Yes, I don't know if you have noticed, recently, when I was in the court, that Xie Sanger was very quiet, but it was Liu Jin's ...... who kept his teeth and claws."

"Jiefu, what you said is really ......" Wang Wei pinched his beard and thought about it, and found that things were really as Yang Tinghe said, "But what does this have to do with the emperor?" ”

"He's recording." Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "Political affairs, handling opinions, and even a few objections, as long as they are out of the mouths of your colleagues, no matter how big or small, he has recorded them all." ”

"What's the use of that? If you want to see the chapter, wouldn't it be good to go directly to the General Administration Department or Wenyuan Pavilion? ”

"That's different," Yang Tinghe shook his head, the expression on his face became more solemn, and his tone was also a little bitter, "The chapters from all over the country go through the Tongzheng Department to the Wenyuan Pavilion, and then to the celebrant supervisor, and the main opinions come from the cabinet ministers......"

The so-called draft vote is that before the chapter is shown to the emperor, it must be handed over in Wenyuan Pavilion, and it must wait until the cabinet ministers sign the handling opinions on it before it can take effect.

At the beginning, this was requested by the emperor, because he was too busy alone, and later, it became the power of the ministers, and the emperor had different opinions, but he could not change them, so he could only refute them and ask the ministers to draw them up separately, and then the chapter was pushed back and forth between the master of ceremonies and the Wenyuan Pavilion.

In a sense, this is a symbol of open cooking, the emperor can't be arbitrary, this is not yet cooking?

But in fact, the power is still monopolized, but it has been transferred from the hands of the emperor to the hands of the scholars, and the situation is even more serious.

The emperor regards the world as his own thing, and he will do his best to do his best, but it is difficult to say about the ministers.

Ten years of cold windows, coupled with decades of ups and downs in the Huan Sea, these people think about themselves the most, in their hearts, reputation, self-interest, friends, the important surnames of these things are far above the people in the world.

Therefore, this system is not actually very enlightened, but it has catalyzed the political struggle and made it more intense, as long as you refer to the Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it can be seen.

“…… Now, under the persecution of the emperor, all those who are listed in the court must express their opinions, so to speak, on the one hand, the emperor uses this to evaluate his colleagues, on the other hand, he may be learning, of course, it may not only be him, but also another group of people. ”

"Who could it be? Could it be that the celebrant is the castration? "The celebrant was originally used by the emperor to replace the cabinet, and Wang Wei was the first to think of this old rival.

"Probably not." Yang Tinghe shook his head, "It's likely...... Do you know that the law school in the former Ivy League has changed its name? ”

"......" everyone was at a loss, their focus was on the pair of monarchs and ministers, especially on soldiers and wealth, where would they pay attention to what academy? What's more, it's such a trivial thing as one of the colleges changing its name?

Yang Tinghe said word by word: "Now, that college has officially changed its name to the School of Political Science and Law!" ”

"Politics and law!" The crowd was in an uproar.

When the law school was founded, many people noticed it, and they were still a little curious about the person who wrote the textbook, but after a long time, they saw that most of the people who entered it and studied were some people who fell into it, and no one cared.

People who can't even get a reputation can just learn the skills of Qiyin, but how profound the law is, what kind of fame can they learn? Even if there is a famous teacher, it is in vain, not to mention that the famous teacher who hides his head and tail does not look like an upright person.

But right now, the academy is suddenly in the name of politics and law, doesn't it mean that the students in it are more involved? It is even possible that the emperor selected talents among them and formed a staff group to assist them and play a role similar to that of the cabinet?

"A bunch of shafters who don't even have fame? How dare you do that? Hong Zhong was furious, entering the cabinet is the most desirable thing for the corporal in the world, and it is difficult for many Junyan to achieve the ultimate ideal in his life, but he was actually taken the lead by a group of fallen talents, it is simply a naked blasphemy!

That's right, these people have no name, and they haven't even shown their faces, but they assist the Son of Heaven in handling political affairs, and what they are engaged in is clearly the work of the cabinet, which is unbearable!

In the past, there was a celebrant supervisor, and everyone pinched their noses and endured it, the internal officials were all disabled, their education level was limited, and their political skills were even inferior, so they couldn't compete with the cabinet head-on after all.

But now, the emperor has dug up the corners of the cabinet in an organized and premeditated manner, and Luo Di Xiucai is also a scholar after all, and the failure to pass the exam is caused by a variety of reasons, and the potential threat of these people is much greater.

What's more, in that school of politics and law, there is also a hidden master, thinking of this, Hong Zhongshi shuddered a little, although he reprimanded angrily, but in his heart he recognized Yang Tinghe's words.

This may be the biggest surname, even if the emperor is talented, but most of his time is spent on training and sports, no matter what, it is impossible to deal with so many political affairs alone, and it is not the emperor's style to handle things in a proper manner.

Obviously, that staff group is constantly growing, and it is still absorbing the strengths of various families, growing in practice, and judging by their efficiency, even if it is said that they will replace the hundred officials of the imperial court in a few years, it is not alarmist.

"Your Majesty...... Where did the confidence come from, they were so calm, did they believe in that Xie Hong so much? You know, Liaodong is a natural disaster! ”

Zhengde was training soldiers in full swing, and at the same time cultivating political staff unhurriedly, Tang Bohu collected hundreds of thousands of stone grain, but he was not in a hurry to transport it out, and the institutions of Huangzhuang were rapidly expanding...... All of this, what it brought to the courtiers was an extremely ominous premonition, this kind of calm and calm was too abnormal, and the tip of the iceberg that surfaced was already like this, so how terrible should the truth hidden beneath be?

"The emperor arrived, and the ministers entered the palace......"

The third father-in-law's duck voice sounded again, but in everyone's ears, it seemed to be a verdict.
