When the two of them came out of the emperor's place, they went straight to the cabinet. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the two didn't talk much along the way, Wang Jing didn't know what to say, and Wang Wei kept thinking about what the former just said.

Although Wang Jing's remarks are somewhat suspicious of belittling officials from the Hanlin Academy, but after thinking about it carefully, there is some truth, is it wrong for the Hanlin Academy to choose talented people to stay in the museum to watch the government?

He looked up at Wang Jing, hesitated for a moment and said the doubts in his heart.

"It's not that it's wrong for the Hanlin Academy to select talented people to stay in the embassy to watch the government, but they shouldn't be allowed to stay in the court all the time, so that they lack training. After observing the government for a period of time, we should be released to serve as officials, so that we can better understand the people's suffering, and secondly, we can train their ability to do things, and we can also really do something practical for the people. If they stay in the court all the time, they will only waste their talents in the end. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Jing glanced at him again and said, "Of course, this is also my personal opinion, Wang Ge Lao should not mind." ”

Wang Wei shook his head and sighed lightly, "It's out of the way!" After listening to my adults' words, I suddenly felt that I had been a little useless in the capital all these years. Perhaps I should ask Your Majesty to be released as an official and truly benefit the people, instead of staying in the court and talking about strange things and doing almost nothing. ”

Wang Jing was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that these words would make Wang Wei have the intention of leaving Beijing. This was not his original intention, and he hurriedly persuaded, "Although being released as an official is of great help to officials, it is also the right thing to feel." At least in a certain opinion, it is better for Wang Ge Lao to stay in the cabinet as an auxiliary government than to be released as an official. After all, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and next year there will be a group of old ministers in the court, and a respected minister like you is needed to preside over the overall situation. ”

Wang Wei thought about it, and what the former said was not unreasonable. Moreover, he was also moved, and he was not resolute enough to leave Beijing, so he finally dispelled this idea.

When they arrived in front of Wenyuan Pavilion, they were greeted by Si Shilang, who led the two to the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion and retreated. Seeing Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian all sitting inside, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet the three elders.

"Sit down." Liu Jian waved his hand and said with a smile, looking very kind.

?“ Here. The two responded, and Wang Jing and Wang Wei walked to the bottom of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian respectively and sat down.

In fact, according to the rules, Wang Wei, who was pushed into the cabinet by the court, should be ranked before Wang Jing, but because the latter is a book of the Ministry of Rites, and it is an earlier subject, and the name is written in front according to the holy decree, so in the end it can only be relegated to the last place.

And this ass sits down, and the ranking of the two in the cabinet will be settled. In the future, the change of power in the cabinet will be carried out according to this ranking. If Liu Jian leaves, Li Dongyang will succeed him as the first assistant, and Xie Qian will take over after Li Dongyang leaves...... And so on, and in the end, it was Wang Wei's turn. Of course, if you are waiting in the queue to Shousuke, you unfortunately hang up first or are dismissed and Zhishi, this position will definitely not be your turn in the end.

However, except for Liu Jian, who is already in the 70s, the next four pavilion elders are all of the same age. So if nothing else, Xie Qian and the others probably won't be able to look forward to this position of first assistant.

Looking at the cabinet that suddenly seemed a little crowded, Liu Jian said with emotion, "The cabinet seems to have never had so many people since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Li Dongyang echoed with a smile, "What the elder said is very true, regardless of this, the burden on you and me has been reduced a lot. ”

"You're pretty lazy." Xie Qian was very dissatisfied when he heard this.

Li Dongyang didn't pay attention to it, but looked at Liu Jian instead, "Pavilion Elder, there are two more people in this cabinet, and there are only four sets of duty rooms in the cabinet, how should this be distributed?" ”

"This ......" Liu Jian also frowned slightly when he heard this, but he hadn't thought of this before. It is indeed difficult to allocate four suites for five people. It would be fine if he left now, but apparently the five of them would need to work together for a while during the remaining months of the eighteenth year of Hongji, and this would need to be reassigned.

Wang Jing took the initiative to speak, "Elder Ge doesn't have to be embarrassed, I can share a room with Elder Wang." ”

"The two of us have just entered the cabinet, so it's okay to share a room." Wang Wei also said a word.

"It's good!" Li Dongyang, who wanted to speak, nodded approvingly.

Since the parties concerned don't care, this matter is settled. Liu Jian then talked to the two about the many matters of the cabinet and how to behave.

"Wang Butang is also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, don't ignore the affairs in the ministry in order to deal with the affairs here, you still need to take care of it more." Liu Jian finally admonished.

Wang Jing nodded, "Xia Guan understands." ”

"Why does Jizhi now only have the status of a scholar in the cabinet of the fifth grade, but he does not have any titles, isn't this a demotion to the cabinet?" Xie Qian suddenly said at this time.

Everyone only reacted at this time, looking at Wang Wei who was wearing a cyan official robe, almost everyone had ignored it before, but now it seemed that it was extremely dazzling.

Wang Wei said indifferently, "As long as you can do something for the emperor, why should you care about degrading officials?" ”

Everyone bowed slightly in agreement when they heard this, and Liu Jian also stroked his beard and said, "Since Your Majesty agrees to your entry into the cabinet, it is obvious that you will not be embarrassed in your official position." I think there must be some plans, and I don't need to worry too much about it. ”

Wang Wei also understands this, and besides, he is not a narrow-minded person, although he feels a little bizarre about this matter, he will not care too much.

Later, they chatted about the situation between the DPRK and China.

"Where His Majesty ascended the throne, the Jinyi Wei was changed to the Daming Military Intelligence Bureau, the Dongchang was changed to the Daming National Security Bureau, and the Internal Affairs Office was added to the Inner Court to control the 24 Yamen Yamen, and the eunuchs who guarded the town were abolished. The pro-army and the Beijing army were reorganized, and a retirement system was implemented in the DPRK and China, forcing officials to retire...... With all this, what do you think Your Majesty wants to do? ”

Speaking of these, Liu Jian also felt embarrassed. Unexpectedly, where the emperor ascended the throne, such a series of movements came out. I am not afraid of the turmoil of the court and the instability of the society, so I am really a little reckless.

The two of them also frowned when they heard this, what the emperor did seemed to be his own affairs within the royal family, except for the rectification of the Beijing army, and it had nothing to do with the imperial court. But looking at it from a point of view, it doesn't mean that the emperor doesn't want to do this in the future.

Since Wang Jing had just entered the court, he was not very clear about the situation between the government and the opposition, so he did not speak rashly. However, Wang Wei said in a deep voice, "Judging by His Majesty's age, this matter could never have been thought up by him, it should be someone behind him to guide the emperor to act, right?" ”

"Are you talking about Wang Tingxiang?" Xie Qian thought of this person for the first time. But it's not surprising, who made this can be regarded as the number one celebrity in the dynasty.

However, he then denied this answer, "But some things happened before the royal court entered the imperial study, so it is unlikely." ”

Wang Wei shook his head, and then said, "What if Your Majesty knew him before?" Otherwise, why was it possible for His Majesty to be enabled to directly enter the imperial study at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, and how to explain this? ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt that his guess was indeed reasonable.

"Jizhi is right, but what is the purpose of the royal court encouraging His Majesty to do this?" Liu Jian bowed slightly, and asked with some doubts.

"I'm afraid it's to prepare for the change." Wang Wei stroked his beard lightly, and suddenly said something shocking.

Everyone was shocked, but then they were relieved to agree with what he said. In fact, they all faintly felt that the emperor had such signs, but no one was willing to pierce this layer of window paper. After all, the emperor is just making trouble in his own home, and you really can't blame anything.

But now that everyone had spoken, the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

"Your Majesty, this is just nonsense, under the governance of the first emperor, I have a faint sense of prosperity, why do I need to change the law to become stronger? As long as Your Majesty can learn from the first emperor to rule the world, why don't I worry about ushering in a peaceful and prosperous world? Xie Qian was the first to break the silence and said with a dissatisfied face, "I think Wang Tingxiang is simply a traitor who does not learn and has no skills, and bewitches the king. He should be exiled for 3,000 miles, and he should never return to the court. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, it was the first time that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang saw Xie Qian talking about others in such a heavy tone. If you don't know, you still think that he and the royal court have a common enmity.

Li Dongyang looked at him and said lightly, "Whether Your Majesty wants to change the law is just speculation, why does Yu Qiao need to be like this?" ”

Everyone woke up in shock when they heard this, yes, everything is just speculation, why are they and the others so nervous?

Wang Jing was noncommittal about Xie Qian's words, he was released as an official, so he naturally knew the situation in the world best. Although under the governance of the first emperor, the Ming Dynasty did have a hint of prosperity. However, there is still a long way to go before the real era of peace and prosperity is ushered in. And today there are still many drawbacks that need to be solved, if you stick to the foundation left by the emperor and do not reform the existing drawbacks, the decline of the Ming Dynasty is only a matter of time.

However, when he heard the name "Wang Tingxiang", he was moved and asked, "Who is Wang Tingxiang?" ”

Everyone looked at him strangely, this favored minister who didn't even know Da Ming as today's son? But thinking that he had just entered the court, he also understood.

"Wang Tingxiang is a fifteen-year jinshi of Hongzhi, and I don't know why he was appreciated by His Majesty and entered the imperial study. It is quite trusted and relied on by the saints today, but it is still okay to behave in the world. ”

Hearing Li Dongyang's introduction, Wang Jing didn't expect this official who came to his house as a lobbyist to be so big. However, thinking of his humble and arrogant expression when he came to visit, I felt that the former's evaluation was not bad. Not to mention the rest, the label of "traitorous villain" is attached to this head, which seems a bit too much in his opinion.

"The collapse of the first emperor's middle way is really a big regret for my Ming Dynasty. If His Majesty can inherit the emperor's will, it is naturally excellent, but it is not advisable to turn chaos into law. Of course, it is still too early to infer what His Majesty intended at the time of what he did today. Instead of making useless inferences, it is better to take care of the matter at hand first. ”

Hearing Wang Jing's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then quite agreed. Liu Jian also nodded and said, "Junan is right, instead of sitting and talking, I'll take care of the matter at hand first." ”

"What the elder said is extremely true." The crowd chimed in.

After that, everyone didn't say anything more, and turned their minds to the business at hand. Liu Jian said to Wang Jing, "Junan has just entered the court, and as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he wears many hats, I'm afraid he can't be busy." So you don't have to worry about the affairs of the cabinet for the time being, let's go back and take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites first. ”

"Thank you for your understanding." After Wang Jing got up and saluted gratefully, he hurried to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
