"Ladies and gentlemen, please. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As soon as the dynasty was dispersed, the six ministers and the three cabinet ministers were stopped by Wang Yue and led to the Benren Hall in the east side hall of the Wenhua Palace.

"Princess, I don't know what the emperor called me and others to come to?" Liu Jian looked at Wang Yue with a puzzled expression. The emperor has just gathered them, if there is something and why he didn't say it in the court just now, it is really incomprehensible to make it mysterious.

The other ministers also looked puzzled, of course, except for Han Wen, he had somewhat guessed the purpose of the emperor looking for himself and others.

Wang Yue glanced back at the ministers behind him, lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile, "The slave doesn't know, the elder and the adults will know when they go in." ”

Since they couldn't ask anything, these twelve important ministers of the court didn't say much, anyway, everything would be revealed when they arrived.

When the ministers followed Wang Yue into the Honren Hall, they found that the entire Honren Hall had changed greatly. In the middle was a long oval table with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and a row of chairs on each side, but the whole hall was empty.

"What is this for?"

This was the first reaction of everyone when they came in, without waiting for them to ask. Wang Yue had already pulled out the chair on the left and said to this Liu Jian with a smile, "Elder Liu Ge, please take a seat." ”

Liu Jian was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at the oval long table that occupied most of the entire hall, with just twelve seats on both sides. I knew a little in my heart, "Does the emperor want to rearrange the seats?" ”

Although he is the first assistant of the cabinet, the rank of the scholar of the Huagai Temple is only the fifth grade, and the daily shift of the court is under the six books. And looking at Wang Yue's posture, he obviously got the emperor's instructions. But this position above 10,000 people under one person is not easy to do, at least there is one person in the court with higher qualifications than him.

Thinking of this, he looked back at Ma Wensheng, and the latter's face was really not good-looking. After all, as the only veteran of the Five Dynasties in the court, the head of the six Shangshu, and the first person in the court, how should it be his turn to do the position of the head of the left. Unexpectedly, the emperor finally gave Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, which really made him very uncomfortable.

But despite this, he still pretended to be generous and said, "Since it is the emperor's arrangement, Liu Ge Lao, please sit down." ”

"Thank you Master Ma for admitting it, then Liu will be the one to do." Liu Jian bowed to Ma Wensheng, bowed to the ministers, and sat down.

Since Ma Wensheng is willing, he will not make more excuses. Although Ma Wen was promoted to the first person in the DPRK, he is not far behind as the first assistant to the cabinet. At least apart from Ma Wensheng, there is no one in the DPRK who can compare with him, whether it is seniority or anything else.

Seeing Liu Jian sit down, Wang Yue opened the seat on the right side of the opposite side again. Seeing this, all the ministers looked at Ma Wensheng, after all, he was the only one who was qualified to do this position now. Unexpectedly, Wang Yue actually looked directly at Li Dongyang, "Elder Li Ge, please sit here." ”

The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and their eyes pointed at Li Dongyang. The latter smiled lightly, "Except for the elders of the Five Dynasties and the important ministers of the imperial court, who is qualified to sit here in this position?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they also admired Li Dongyang's wit, and at this time, Ma Wensheng's face looked better, and he was about to sit down but was stopped by Wang Yue, but the latter said helplessly, "The emperor said that whoever is in the position is who's own, and you can't mess around." ”

As soon as the words fell, he felt that the eyes of all the ministers of the court were focused on him, like a thorn in his back that he couldn't say uncomfortable.

"Long live the lord, long live the lord, the slave and maid were miserable by you." Wang Yue secretly complained. He can imagine that after today, his image in the eyes of the courtiers is estimated to have dropped a lot, and he will inevitably be attacked by the officials.

When Ma Wensheng heard this, he flicked his sleeves angrily, his face turned red, and he was stunned in place. If the emperor hadn't summoned him, he would probably have left angrily.

The atmosphere was extremely strange for a while.

"As an important minister of the imperial court, the head of the civil and military officials, the prince is the first to let Master Ma sit first." Li Dongyang stood up and said something at this time. He didn't say where Ma Wensheng should sit, but said that he should be allowed to sit first. In this way, it will not go against the emperor's will, but it can also relieve him from the siege. Sure enough, it deserves to be called "good strategy".

Li Dongyang's words not only relieved Ma Wensheng, but also made Wang Yue breathe a sigh of relief. can do the position of the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the prince of the Dongchang factory, he is naturally also an understanding person, and he will naturally understand the words of the former as soon as he hears it. The emperor just said that the position should not sit randomly, but he did not say who had to sit first. Quickly pulled open the second chair under the right head, and said respectfully, "Lord Ma, please take a seat." ”

Ma Wensheng snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and sat down with a cold face.

Wang Yue felt a little embarrassed, and somewhat angry. After all, as the No. 2 person in the celebrant and supervisor, in terms of the relationship between the inner court and the outer court, the identities of the two are actually similar. If it weren't for the emperor's orders, he could have ignored this Ma Wensheng, but now he had to swallow this breath.

As if feeling Wang Yue's gaze, Li Dongyang smiled and said to Ma Wensheng, "Master Ma, Dongyang has offended." After saying that, he also sat down on the right side.

Then there were no twists and turns, Xie Qian, who had just returned from Jiangnan, sat down on the second chair on the left, and the next position was seated in turn according to the official household rite and criminal worker, the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple, and the general political envoy.

In fact, looking at the ranking of seats, the ministers already understand what the emperor means. In fact, although the cabinet helped the emperor to draft the chapter, it seems that the real power is very large, but unfortunately the status is not high, and the number of the dynasty is still under the six ministries. This is also the reason why Xie Qian's qualifications are the shallowest among all the ministers present who can also enter the cabinet, and of course, it also has a lot to do with his status as an emperor. And this time, the emperor ranked the three cabinet members above the sixth, obviously intending to improve the status of the cabinet.

And the most restless person present is naturally Xie Qian, looking at Ma Wensheng who is sitting opposite with his eyes closed, he is even more like a pins and needles when he is the least qualified.

"The emperor has arrived."

With Wang Yue's voice, Zheng De strode into the Benren Palace, followed by a young official in a cyan official robe, who was none other than Wang Tingxiang.

Seeing this, all the ministers present stood up one after another and bowed their hands, "See Your Majesty." ”

"Sit down." Zheng De sat down at the top, and the ministers also sat down in turn. And Wang Tingxiang also sat down in the lowest position opposite Zheng De, and the cyan official robe was too dazzling among the many important officials in the crimson official robe.

The ministers glanced at the celebrity beside the emperor, and then looked at each other, or Liu Jian stood up and said, "Why did Your Majesty summon me and other ministers of the court?" ”

"Convene the Imperial Council." Zheng De glanced at the ministers present, and for the first time he had a feeling of power. Although this is the same way for this group of ministers at the court meeting, and the number is even more. But sitting high on the dragon chair, he always felt like a spectator. Because everything has already been discussed before the court, just follow the established track. Such a meeting might as well be called a performance, and there is no need to discuss anything at all. That's why Zheng De ordered someone to build this conference table, and he will hold meetings here in the future.

Imperial Council? The ministers looked at each other when they heard this, and they understood the meaning of the emperor's words when they heard the literal meaning. But since there is a court meeting, why is there another imperial meeting?

"Your Majesty......" Liu Jian and the others were just about to speak, but were interrupted by Zheng De, "Pavilion Elder, please take a seat, I came to you today for an important matter to say, it is about ......"

"Your Majesty......"

Zheng De was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted. Zheng Dexun glanced at Xie Qian very dissatisfied, but the latter stood up unhurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, is the elder of the Five Dynasties and the head of the hundred civil and military officials. I am afraid that it is extremely inappropriate for the ministers of the DPRK and China to sit under me, who are highly respected. ”

"Wrong? I think you're a typical example of being cheap and selling well! Zheng De looked at him and couldn't help but spit out in secret, but said, "What's wrong?" I'm just ranking by position, not by seniority. ”

"In terms of official position, Master Ma is a dignified second-grade official secretary, and Dongge University Scholar is just a fifth-grade official; In terms of false titles, I am just a young master and a young master, but he is a young master and a prince and a young master, and he is also a little higher than me. In any case, Master Ma should have sat before me. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Dongyang, who was sitting on the right, frowned slightly. Xie Qian's words just now actually involved him, who is also a cabinet scholar. After all, no matter in terms of official position and seniority, he can't compare to Ma Wensheng in any way. If he didn't open his mouth at this moment, I am afraid that the ministers present would still think that he was sitting there with peace of mind. However, before he could get up, the emperor took the first step to speak.

"If you follow what you say, do I, a person with no grade and no qualifications, still have to go to the bottom?" Zheng De barely suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly. It's just a row of seats, where did you get so much rambling nonsense.

"I don't dare." However, looking at Xie Qian's fearless face, how dare he look, the more Zheng De looked at him, the more he felt extremely annoying. I only heard the former continue to say, "I just hope that Your Majesty can reassign seats according to the order of the court." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Dongyang, but also Liu Jian's face was not very good. If the seats were arranged according to the order of the court, wouldn't the three cabinet members sit behind the six Shangshu? Fortunately, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang are quite good in temperament, and the three of them have been ministers in the same palace for many years, and they have already become friends, but they did not have a seizure on the spot. Otherwise, if someone else comes, he will have to completely fall out, cut off his robe and break his righteousness.

It can also be seen from this that although Xie Qian can "talk", sometimes he doesn't pay much attention to proportion, and it is easy to offend people.

"From now on, the cabinet of the three will be above the six ministries, and now we will continue to meet." Zheng De said lightly. He obviously didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, and he had already planned to rank the cabinet above the six ministries.

Hearing this, the remaining five Shangshu of the six departments looked at Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu who was there by the old god on the side, hoping that he could stand up and say a word. I don't know if it's because of my bad ears or what's wrong, even if Xie Qian mentioned him just now, he didn't say a word. Now facing everyone's gaze, they are still indifferent, which makes the five Shangshu quite disappointed.

On the contrary, it was Zuodu Yu Shi Daishan who stood up, "Your Majesty, the order of the dynasty is determined by Emperor Taizu, how can it be adjusted at will?" ”

Zheng De glanced at him and said lightly, "As my Ming courtier, I don't want to work for the well-being of the people of the world, but I am quite concerned about these false names." ”

Dai Shan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when she heard this, I talked to you about the law of the ancestors, and you actually got involved with me in vain.

But then again, this dynasty shift or something is really a reflection of status and identity, and Zheng De is not wrong to say that it is a false name. So this Zuodu Yushi didn't say anything more, bowed his hand quite depressedly, and sat back stupidly.

"Do you have any objections to adjusting the schedule of the dynasty?" Zheng De glanced at the ministers present, but no one stood up and spoke again for a long time. After all, no one wants to wear a hat that loves fame.

"Then it's settled." Zheng De said domineeringly.
