Hearing the voice summoned by the emperor outside, the two looked up at each other, so they had to put down what they were doing, stepped into the inner room and bowed, and the minister Wang Tingxiang (Wang Shouren) had seen His Majesty. ”

"Sit." Zheng De looked at the two and waved his hand, and after the latter were all seated, he asked very casually, "What has happened in the imperial court recently?" ”

Wang Tingxiang, who had just sat down, had no choice but to get up again and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, there has been no major incident in the DPRK and China recently except for scientific research. It's just that His Majesty's adjustment of the imperial court officials and school scientific examinations has been quite strong. ”

"Oh, are there many others who have come up to counsel me or who have beaten around the bush and scolded me?" Zheng De said with a smile, and when he saw Wang Tingxiang's embarrassed appearance, he knew that his guess was not far from ten. I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh at myself, "I'm still too young!"

Hearing the emperor's words, both of them were stunned, and they really couldn't understand what the emperor meant by this. I heard the former then ask, "Do you think I'm in a hurry to do these things?" ”

The two glanced at each other, after all, Wang Shouren had just come to the imperial study to walk, and he really didn't know what to say. However, after all, Wang Tingxiang has been with Zheng De for more than half a year, and he has helped the latter deal with all the recitals in the imperial court, so he naturally understands that the movements of the government and the opposition are similar to what the emperor said. For the performance of these exhortations, Wang Tingxiang, under Zheng De's advice, will not enter the submission if it is not necessary, but will directly stay in the center.

It can be said that if it were not for the royal court minister himself to say it, it would be difficult for the emperor to know what was said and written in the recital presented by the cabinet every day. And Liu Jin in history also relied on this to fool Emperor Zhengde into controlling the power of the court and became the "emperor". Obviously, Wang Tingxiang, who now holds the power to criticize red, also has the potential to become a generation of powerful ministers, of course, provided that he can fool Zheng De.

However, under the eyes and ears of the two major secret agencies, the Daming Military Intelligence Bureau and the Daming National Security Bureau, this is obviously not an easy thing to do. In history, Liu Jin also indirectly controlled Jinyiwei after controlling the East Factory, so that he could truly fool Zhengde and dominate the world. Wang Tingxiang doesn't have the ability to win over Yan Song and Mu Bin now, and he naturally won't use any crooked brains when he understands this. Diligently handled all the submissions of the imperial court for Zheng De, and he would not make the decision if the emperor needed to handle the matter personally, but honestly told the latter to deal with it. And although Zheng De is lazy, he doesn't really ignore all the things in the court after becoming the shopkeeper, of course, he only cares about major matters.

Therefore, it is natural for him to know the emperor's knowledge of the contents of the Shang's performance, after all, there are these two major secret agencies. And thinking about so many things that have happened in the imperial court in the past few days, I also feel that what the emperor has done is too impatient, and I was looking for something to talk to the latter, but I didn't expect Zheng De to take the initiative to bring it up, which saved a lot of trouble. After thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty Shengming, the imperial court is holding a scientific expedition at this moment, and it is really not appropriate for too many things to happen, and some things still need to be delayed." ”

Zheng De also nodded approvingly when he heard this, he was also troubled by these things he had made. I thought that making a reform was actually a very simple thing, and the people under my hands could help you do it as long as you moved, but now it's too naïve to think about it. Not to mention anything else, the mess of the Guanghu Department was handed over to Sun Jiao for more than half a year and it was not resolved.

Although I have been spurring myself with "eat one bite at a time", and have been reminding myself to take my time in doing things, I have unconsciously done many things that exceeded my expectations. Perhaps it is also because he has more than 500 years of memories than this world, and he always wants to rely on his knowledge beyond this world to immediately let Daming embark on a path of rapid development. But there are many things that can't be rushed, but he still wants to do them in a hurry.

"Then the two Aiqing think that I should focus on what thing next. Should we continue to carry out the reform of schools and scientific examinations, and implement the military rank system, or should we reform the government office and the system of appointing officials? Zheng De looked at the two.

"Everything is inferior, only the reading is high, Weichen feels that the scientific examination and school system set by Emperor Taizu are quite reasonable, and there is really no need to make a big move." Wang Shouren put forward his own opinions at this time.

Zheng De was noncommittal about his words of advice, but he couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart, "Sure enough, choosing Wang Tingxiang as his assistant is the most correct choice." ”

It is undeniable that Wang Shouren's military talent is quite high, but in terms of truly governing the country and the world, Wang Tingxiang is the most suitable candidate. At least the latter will not be bound by any ancestral rules and regulations, and dare to truly break the routine in order to change the law.

He looked at Wang Tingxiang on the side, and the latter muttered, "Since Your Majesty has announced in front of the civil and military officials that a series of changes will be made to a series of things such as the government office, this matter can only continue. As for the school and the scientific examination system, it can not be achieved overnight, but now it can be temporarily delayed, but it does not have to be completely put down, so that the Ministry of Rites can slowly think through this matter and then issue an order. ”

Zheng De nodded, but he was still a little puzzled, "What about the army?" ”

Wang Tingxiang glanced at Wang Shouren on the side, "Your Majesty, you should ask Lord Wang about this matter." ”

"Oh?" Zheng De couldn't turn a corner at first, but then he understood what he meant. Since he appointed Wang Shouren as the former military secretary, he obviously didn't want to let Wang Tingxiang monopolize power. The latter apparently understood the emperor's intentions in doing so, so as to show that he would no longer meddle in all matters concerning the army in the court, as a proof of his intentions.

"What about Boan's opinion?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Wang Shouren stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter only needs to be in charge of the military department and the five military governors, and the civil and military officials are only a few words on this matter at most, and they have no right to interfere, so it does not have much impact on the overall situation of the imperial court." ”

After listening to the words of the two, Zheng De's originally somewhat confused thoughts suddenly became clearer, and he also had his own plan, "I know what to do, I will decide to hand over the matter of the adjustment of the imperial court officials to the cabinet in the future, and the promulgation and implementation of the military rank system will wait until the arrival of the right capital Yushi Panfan." There is also the draft of "Daming School and Scientific Examination Reform is Edict" as a draft opinion to be issued to the world, so that all the people of Daming can judge their views on this matter. ”

Opinion draft? What is this thing? Wang Shouren didn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words, but Wang Tingxiang had listened to Zheng De's explanation, and said with some worry, "Your Majesty asked the imperial court to draft an edict to be issued, if it encounters the opposition of the people in the world, won't it be abandoned halfway?" ”

"If everyone in the world is against it, then what's the point of me issuing this edict again?" Zheng De asked rhetorically.

Wang Tingxiang was stunned, and it was true.

……

Wenyuan Pavilion cabinet duty room.

"Brother Bin, don't you have anything to say about Wang Shouren's entry into the imperial study?" Xie Qian, the deputy assistant of the cabinet sitting next to the head of the cabinet, looked at Li Dongyang, who had been immersed in dealing with the things in his hands with a calm expression, and asked with dissatisfaction.

The latter raised his head and looked at him when he heard this, but he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "Who Your Majesty chooses to enter the imperial study, how can we interfere?" ”

"There was a Wang court minister before, and then there was another Wang Shouren, and His Majesty was quite lazy. If these two join forces to deceive the emperor, I am afraid that the entire court will have a catastrophe! Xie Qian couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Li Dongyang also nodded approvingly, but he was not as pessimistic as Xie Qian. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has changed the Jinyi Wei and Dongchang and completely firmly controlled them in his own hands, and he knows that this young genius is not as simple as he imagined. And with the existence of these two government offices, who can really deceive the emperor?

"Maybe Your Majesty also feels that giving the royal court too much authority, and wants to let Wang Shouren divide power to check and balance." He did not refute directly, but gave his own opinion.

Xie Qian didn't think of this, but if you think about it carefully, what Li Dongyang said is indeed quite reasonable, and the other two pavilion elders also felt that this was the case after hearing it, and at this time, Wang Wei on the side also stood up and said, "This Wang Shouren is the son of Wang Hua, and he was also a famous genius in the capital back then, but unfortunately he has never won the champion, otherwise a father and son are both champions, which is also a rare good story." ”

"Jizhi is still in the mood to say this?" Xie Qian glared at Wang Wei rather dissatisfied, but the latter was not annoyed but stroked his beard, and continued, "Since Wang Hua is Yu Qiao's close friend, Wang Shouren is also your nephew, you should know the character of the two of them best, naturally they are not traitors and power-grabbing people, why should the elder be so worried?" ”

Xie Qian also sighed lightly when he heard this, but he was not a little happy about Wang Shouren's entry into the imperial study, but more angry and puzzled, how could he never have imagined that the son of his best friend would become a military attache and enter the imperial study by himself, which was simply extremely stupid, and it also made him feel quite disappointed.

This is also the reason why Xie Qian brought up this matter today, that is, he wanted the elders of the cabinet to unite to impeach and teach the latter a lesson, so that he could understand that he should do things in a down-to-earth manner, instead of going to the camp to shoot horses.

However, after Wang Wei's reminder, he was completely sobered up after being dizzy. His nephew's temperament is really not a sloppy person, and as for why he was recruited by the emperor, he can only wait to ask his best friend again.

However, he still frowned slightly and said, "Is it just to let him go?" ”

"Watch his words and listen to his deeds, if he really does something that endangers my Ming Dynasty and society, it will not be too late to impeach him when the time comes." Li Dongyang finally spoke.

Several cabinet elders, including Xie Qianzainei, also felt that this was the best way to deal with it at present.
