Chapter Ninety-Two: The Last Advice
After returning to the cabinet, Liu Jian did not rush to do things, but convened a few cabinet elders for a small meeting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He glanced at the four cabinet members and nodded with satisfaction. Even Wang Jing, a relational household, has been recognized by him for his diligence in the cabinet in the past few months, not doing things and not fighting for power and profit.
"Today is also my last day in the Cabinet, and it is also my seventeenth year in the Cabinet, and I never thought I would leave in this way. originally thought that he could let go of all this in the court and return to his hometown to spend his old age in peace. Unexpectedly, His Majesty would come up with the title of 'parliamentarian' and tie me to the affairs of the DPRK and China. ”
When Liu Jian talked about this, he couldn't help laughing at himself, "When I wanted to leave, I couldn't let go of all this in the court, and when the emperor used the identity of 'parliamentarian' to let me participate in the affairs of the court again, I felt a sense of powerlessness." Even I still can't figure out what I really think, and maybe as His Majesty said, people are always a little powerless when they get old. ”
The four cabinet elders quietly listened to the words of the head of the cabinet, who had been a veteran of the Five Dynasties for more than 50 years, although he said a lot of nonsense at the beginning, no one showed a trace of impatience.
The latter glanced at the four cabinet members again, and finally fixed on Li Dongyang, "Chaling, your temperament is too soft, and I am most worried about letting you succeed as the first assistant." But you also have your own way of doing things, and I don't need to say anything more. I just hope that you don't forget the dying trust of the first emperor, and don't always retreat and follow the emperor's wishes when encountering problems, otherwise I will definitely gather more than half of the parliamentarians to impeach you. ”
At the end, his tone suddenly became sharp, and the warning was quite serious.
"Elder Ge, please rest assured, Dongyang understands." Li Dongyang stood up with a solemn expression and arched his hand.
Liu Jian just nodded, after all, verbally agreeing to this matter is the most unlikely, and it can only depend on his performance in the future. However, now that he has the status of a 'councilor', he can also participate in all the affairs of the DPRK and China, so he does not have to worry too much.
waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then looked at Xie Qian on the side, "Yuyao, you are too straight. In the future, you still need to restrain your temper, don't talk hard to the emperor, and be somewhat tactful. Saying this, he couldn't help but shake his head, "You and Chaling's personalities are like two extremes, I hope you can support each other in the future, support the overall situation of the DPRK and China, and don't let these old ministers who left worry about it." ”
Although he didn't care too much about his words, Xie Qian still responded respectfully, "Don't worry, Elder Ge, move from introspection." ”
Liu Jian moved his gaze to the next Wang Jing, a newcomer who had just entered the cabinet for a few months. Perhaps because it is 'the middle order into the cabinet', everyone looked at this person with a scrutinizing eye at the beginning. However, this old scalper-like spirit of hard work, hard-working, and hard-working has won the recognition of everyone in the cabinet. And for this one, he really has nothing to say.
Or from another point of view, in his opinion, this is more suitable than Li Dongyang, a cabinet elder whose heart is no longer in the court, to be the first assistant of the cabinet, whether it is in the world or ability, it is not inferior, especially in terms of ability. It's a pity, not to mention his non-Hanlin identity, that is, in terms of the time he entered the cabinet, he can't take his turn.
It's a pity!
Liu Jian sighed secretly in his heart, and finally simply said four words, "You are very good." ”
Although it was a simple four words, it also made everyone present understand that the cabinet chief assistant was very optimistic about the new cabinet elder.
As for the last Wang Wei, he just said lightly, "I am very relieved to have you in the cabinet." ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Jian's evaluation of Wang Wei was so high, which made everyone present couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, thinking of Wang Wei's old and serious character, this evaluation is not an exaggeration.
"If you are in charge of the cabinet and can support each other, the old man will be relieved." Liu Jian finally summed up.
"Elder Ge, please rest assured." The four of them glanced at each other and said in unison.
Liu Jian nodded and continued, "In the past half a year since the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's temperament seems to have changed person, although it is not good, it is much stronger than when it was in the East Palace. The behavior is not very decent, and it seems a little crazy, but he can also listen to other people's opinions, but he is a little soft and not hard. In the future, don't do things with the emperor's temperament, if you really follow the emperor's temperament, I'm afraid you will have to be more handy in doing things. Remember! ”
For the advice of the cabinet chief, everyone naturally nodded and agreed.
But as if he had thought of something, Liu Jian frowned slightly, and suddenly said without a beginning or an end, "Your Majesty is unusually strong today!" ”
Everyone was stunned, and when they thought about it, it was really the case. Today's court meeting, although the emperor has been asking the opinions of the courtiers, but in the end it seems that it is just a formality. And what the emperor said was probably well thought out, so that the ministers of the DPRK and China did not have much room for refutation. can only be led by the nose, as if everything is under the control of the former.
I didn't pay much attention to this before, but now that I think about it, I feel a little scary, is this still something that a young genius can do?
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Xie Qian is face is unbelieving, judging from the various performances of the emperor since he ascended the throne, he is really not the kind of person with a strong personality.
However, he forgot that in addition to people with strong personalities, there is actually another kind of person in the world who can also appear stronger at some point. And Zheng De clearly belongs to the latter.
Wang Wei said, "I'm not surprised, have you forgotten Wang Tingxiang?" There is such a person behind His Majesty to give advice, what is so strange about this performance. ”
However, he obviously did not take into account one point, if a person with a cowardly personality is concerned, it is difficult to say something strong, even if someone is on the side.
Speaking of Wang Tingxiang, all the pavilion elders present suddenly remembered that the emperor was still following him. Unlike ordinary favorites, this number one celebrity of the dynasty is too low-key. did not rely on the emperor's favor, and the fox and the tiger did whatever he wanted in the court. Therefore, it is often very forgetful of the existence of this person, but this also makes the Chinese military officials of the DPRK not have much vigilance against him, and will not attract the attack and impeachment of the officials.
"This is a smart man!" Liu Jian couldn't help but say.
The elders of the pavilion also nodded approvingly when they heard this, although they could run rampant with the emperor's favor, it was impossible to run rampant for a lifetime. If you don't understand this, you can offend the ministers of the DPRK and China at will, although it seems to be infinite now. But once it loses its position in the future, I am afraid that it will fall into the embarrassing situation of being pushed by thousands of people, and most of the time it will not end well.
"What do you want to say about the person who is the prime minister of the royal court?"
Hearing Liu Jian's question, all the pavilion elders present were also stunned when they heard this, and then fell into deep thought. As the closest person to the emperor, they must be unavoidable from dealing with this person. And in the past six months, several pavilion elders have also become more familiar with this one.
In general, it gives the impression of a gentle and gentleman-like character, with a bookish atmosphere unique to a reader. Not manic, neither humble, nor arrogant, modest and polite, it left a good impression in the hearts of the elders.
"Nice guy." Li Dongyang said lightly.
Wang Jing also nodded, "Judging from his position in charge of the 24 yamen of the internal court, his ability is quite outstanding." ”
"With him by the emperor's side, I'm quite relieved." Wang Wei also said something next.
"A capable minister who rules the world, a traitor in troubled times."
Hearing Xie Qian's comment, everyone looked at him with a stunned expression. This evaluation is a bit unexpected!
Liu Jian also looked at him with a strange expression, "What did Yu Yao say?" ”
Xie Qian seemed to have expected the incomprehensible gaze cast by everyone, but explained unhurriedly, "If the royal court does not act to change chaos into law, it is a capable minister, and he is also a minister of my Ming Dynasty." ”
Turning chaos into law?
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, which seemed to be a bit excessive.
Liu Jian frowned, "Are you so sure that this person will make a change of law?" ”
Xie Qian glanced at everyone, "Listen to his words and watch his deeds, how many unexpected things has Your Majesty done in the past six months since he first ascended to the Great Treasure Imperial Pole?" If there is no one behind the scenes, can His Majesty do all this? If there is no purpose, what is Your Majesty doing this for? Moreover, why did Your Majesty rush to drive these old ministers of the court and the central government home, not because I had hindered Your Majesty's or, more accurately, the royal court's change of law, that we made a provision to force officials to give official orders to facilitate their actions. ”
Everyone was silent when they heard this, although the emperor's tossing for most of the year did not involve the fundamental interests of the imperial court, it was also a dangerous move. It's only been half a year, and who knows if if it continues, the emperor will expand this kind of thing to the imperial court?
"It hasn't happened yet, Yuyao still don't talk nonsense." Liu Jian finally sighed lightly and finally set the tone for this matter.
"As long as you support yourself in the cabinet, the emperor will not dare to be too nonsense."
Hearing this's words, the four pavilion elders were not in a good mood. If the change that Xie Qian said really happened, I'm afraid they would also be in a dilemma. However, this kind of thing cannot be prevented, and it can only be taken one step at a time.
