"Elder Peng Ge, the front line has reported that Qi Jiguang has led the army to successfully recover the Hetao area!" , Zhang Juzheng hurriedly walked into the Xiyuan court room, and presented a letter to Peng Yue. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Good!" , even though Peng Yue is basically happy and angry on weekdays, he can't hide the excitement in his heart when he hears the news.

He remembered Zeng Miao, who was wronged, and Xia Yan, who was wronged, even though he had rehabilitated them, but in the end he felt that it was not enough, but at this time, when the news of the successful recovery of Hetao came, Peng Yue really felt that he could comfort them in the spirit of heaven.

"Come, uncle, sit here...", Peng Yue beckoned to Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng immediately took three steps and two steps, and sat in front of Peng Yue, also with a happy face.

"Elder Peng Ge, Tan Lun and others have made outstanding contributions in this battle...", after Zhang Juzheng sat down, he added two more sentences to Peng Yue, who was immersed in joy.

"Well, all meritorious generals will be rewarded...", Peng Yue nodded, "But we must first play the Ming Shengshang at this time, and then there will be a cabinet meeting to discuss and decide on the specific reward." ”

"Yes...", Zhang Juzheng said with a smile, "I remember what you said, the rules you set, but you can't mess up..."

"Yes, that's exactly the case...", Peng Yue also smiled at Zhang Juzheng, "This head must be opened well, only by doing a good job in this demonstration, it is possible to develop in an orderly manner in the future." ”

"Well, the student wrote it down...", Zhang Juzheng nodded in response, but he felt strange about some of Peng Yue's practices.

Since the death of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, Peng Yue has more and more real power in his hands, and it can even be said that he can act with his own will.

Sometimes Zhang Juzheng will feel deep admiration and fear for this person, because he really can't imagine that a person can have such a smart head and vigorous political skills, and even the emperor feels helpless, because in the court, Peng Yue's "comrades" are too many.

However, Zhang Juzheng didn't know that the reason why Peng Yue had this kind of trick was because of his years of political career, and another reason was that "Peng Yue of later generations" learned from "Zhang Juzheng of his previous life".

Just when Zhang Juzheng suspected that Peng Yue was suspected of rebellion, Peng Yue's attitude took another 180-degree turn. He first expanded the size of the cabinet, stipulating that there must be nine people in the cabinet, and these nine people could not be directly appointed by the emperor, but by ministers to recommend each other for election.

Peng Yue's move must have aroused the opposition of the ministers, because many ministers had begun to suspect that he had a tendency to rebel, but Peng Yue tightly controlled the forbidden army and the Jinyi Guard, and no one could help him.

In the end, after Peng Yue took the measure of suppressing while co-opting, he finally used strong means to carry out this measure.

Just when everyone thought that the other eight people in the cabinet were all working for Peng Yue, they didn't expect Peng Yue to stipulate that everything must be discussed and decided by all members of the cabinet, and the majority opinion would prevail, and then it would be submitted to the emperor. Even Peng Yue's own proposed measures are often rejected.

In addition, the members of the cabinet have also tasted the sweetness, and as a result, many ministers will change their attitudes and support this measure. After all, everyone is an animal of interest, who wouldn't want to do things that are beneficial to themselves? It's just that the emperor is a little unhappy.

Recently, Peng Yue carried out another reform, stipulating the independence of the judiciary, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and no one had the right to interfere, but the appointment of relevant personnel should be discussed and decided by the cabinet meeting, and no longer appointed by the Ministry of Officials.

Moreover, Peng Yue recently handed over the economic power to Zhang Juzheng, telling him that in the future, Zhang Juzheng will do the economic affairs, and he will never interfere.

Zhang Juzheng was both happy and frightened, because he really couldn't figure out Peng Yue's true thoughts, his first reaction was that Peng Yue was testing himself, so he resolutely refused, but he didn't expect Peng Yue to be really sincere and resolutely want to give power to himself.

Now Zhang Juzheng is a little strange, what does this uncle in front of him want to do? If he has the intention of rebellion, it is indeed not, because with his own efforts, his current power is far less than that of two years ago.

And with Peng Yue's efforts, the country has indeed gradually improved, prosperous and stable, singing and dancing, and basically there has been no big mess, so Zhang Juzheng ******** follow Peng Yue.

"Elder Peng Ge, otherwise... The power in charge of the economy is still up to you, students really can't do it...", Zhang Juzheng lowered his head and raised this matter again.

"Huh?" , Peng Yue raised his head and stared at Zhang Juzheng, and then chuckled twice, "Uncle, you still don't believe me..."

"No, the students don't dare...", Zhang Juzheng replied in a low voice.

"You don't have to be like this...", Peng Yue patted Zhang Juzheng on the shoulder, "Believe me, I didn't mean to test you, everything I did was for the sake of the country and the people..."

"As you can see, I sometimes make mistakes and make a lot of stupid opinions, so nothing can be decided by one person, it has to be discussed, and power must be divided. It's like... Like the Holy One today, though... A generation of Ming Jun, but it is difficult to guarantee that every son of heaven in the future can be so smart, in fact... It's impossible for the Holy One to do everything right today, right? ”

"Well, what you said is right...", Zhang Juzheng nodded, and he already believed Peng Yue's words a little in his heart.

"Do you know why I insisted on expelling the high arch in the first place?" , Peng Yue put away the smile on his face, "Because this person is too arrogant, too stubborn, too intolerant, he always feels that power can only be one person, so I drove him away from the court, the existence of such a person is really a great harm to the current situation." ”

"Well, the student got it." In fact, Zhang Juzheng also didn't like the high arch, so Peng Yue made a plan to drive the high arch away, which was also very in line with Zhang Juzheng's mind.

"Okay, let's talk about this first, don't mention the rest...", Peng Yue smiled slightly, and then fell silent again.

In fact, he knew in his heart that these measures he implemented would definitely be opposed by many ministers, so when he considered setting up the power of impeachment against cabinet members, he hesitated in his heart and finally shelved the matter.

So now it's basically a tenure system, because when the election is made, it is very cautious, so there is generally no mistake, if there is too much disagreement, Peng Yue will unite with other ministers to expel this person.

Sometimes if you want to practice democracy, you must first learn ****, Peng Yue is now more and more convinced of this sentence, because he must now rely on his own power to implement some measures.

"By the way, uncle, tell Li Chengliang that you must pay attention to the Northeast there...", Peng Yue seemed to remember something again, "If you move more Han people, you must have more ethnic minorities than the local ethnic minorities, and it is best to assimilate the local ethnic minorities." And remember, we must prevent the emergence of an absolute national ruling force among the Jurchens, and if there are such signs, we must suppress them! ”

"Well, the student has already explained this matter to Li Chengliang...", Zhang Juzheng nodded in response.

"And what I told you a while ago, the imperial examination system should be reformed, more subjects should be set up, and the basic education in the school must be implemented, and you can't just read the four books and five classics all day long, understand?" , Peng Yue patiently explained again.

"Well, it's being done, and it's working out pretty well, but... However, some scholars in the south were more opposed to this approach. ”

"If you oppose it, you will oppose it, as long as it can be implemented, it will be implemented for a long time, and it will naturally go with the flow...", Peng Yue sighed lightly, "Aren't we still able to use newspapers?" Ask those imperial historians to argue with the southern scholars in the newspaper, there will always be an arbitrator, and if there are many arguments, the thinking will change, hehe..."

"Peng Ge is a good plan..."

"Hehe, in fact, I'm also quite embarrassed, the weapons institute is in short supply of talents, and I have to find it from the academy...", Peng Yue said with a smile, "Keep a snack in the local academy, look for it well, once there is a suitable candidate, they will all be transferred to the Guozijian, and let them follow the research of which equipment or something." ”

"Well, well, these things are being done..."

"This is only one aspect, we have a lot of people in the Ming Dynasty, and there will always be a day when the land is not enough, so those corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes must be promoted urgently, of course, the most important thing is to find ways to increase the yield of grain per mu...", Peng Yue sighed, "But even if you open a fertilizer factory, you can't find researchers for a while..."

"What did Elder Peng Ge say?" , Zhang Juzheng listened to Peng Yue's last sentence and seemed to be talking to himself, and couldn't help but ask again.

"No, it's nothing, hehe...", since it was a matter without eyebrows, Peng Yue didn't want to talk to Zhang Juzheng anymore.

"By the way, there is also coastal border trade, domestic commerce, are all big problems, the development is too slow, and it needs to be supported...", Peng Yue said with a sigh.

"Elder Peng Ge, in fact, the current situation... It's much, much better than it was a few years ago..."

"Alas, you don't know, where is this...", Peng Yue narrowed his eyes, and the grand picture he had drawn appeared in his mind again, "We are too far away now, if we want to do this thing well, it will be a matter of generations..."

"Peng Ge Lao has great ambitions, and the students are indeed far behind...", Zhang Juzheng said on the side.

Peng Yue didn't care about Zhang Juzheng's praise, because he kept thinking in his heart: How much effect can his efforts make? Can I make the Ming Dynasty and China stand out in the world, take the lead, and no longer suffer the humiliations of modern times? ”

"Peng Ge Lao...", Zhang Juzheng called softly, and then pointed to Peng Yue's sideburns with his finger, "You here... There are more gray hairs..."

"Really? Hehe... Old... Old..."
