Chapter 964: Cabinet Ministers (Asking for Votes)

Since the start of the big war with Me, there have been countless rumors in the capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Tang Yi personally went out of Beijing and went to Daban to promote the superintendent, at that time the news of the victory over Alta had not yet come, many people privately said that the war was smashed, and Lord Tang went to clean up the mess, and said that the general of so-and-so was killed, and the general surrendered, and the army of Al-and-so was going to kill the Great Wall and invade the capital......

All kinds of rhetoric made the capital startled three times a day, and Longqing's heart was also up and down, and he couldn't make up his mind.

I have to say that fortunately, there are a group of old ministers left in Beijing, whether it is Gao Gong, Zhao Zhenji, or Yang Bo, Ge Shouli, at this time, they are all extremely calm, and with their constraints, all kinds of government affairs of the imperial court are carried out in an orderly manner.

The big guys' discussions are all in private, and there is no consensus on whether they win or lose.

Fortunately, when the news of the breakthrough of Tokto and the destruction of more than 50,000 enemies came, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The dark clouds that pressed on his head dispersed, and his heart brightened.

A few days later, news came that Alta had been killed.

This is remarkable, winning a battle and killing the other party's commander are not the same concept at all, even in the Han and Tang Dynasties, there have not been a few such brilliant victories.

Especially in the capital, they have a skin pain for the Beiyu, since childhood, adults have used my answer to scare them, not to let them cry, in the hearts of ordinary people, I answer is a head with horns, green fangs, hideous and terrible ghost king!

He actually died, and he was still beheaded by the Ming army!

Although the New Year has passed, the big guy is happier than the New Year, and the temple fair that should end on the fifteenth day was extended to February 2nd Dragon Rise.

The dragon raised his head, and our Emperor Longqing also raised his head and chested up.

He was triumphant, went to the Taimiao, and went to talk to the emperors of the past dynasties. In front of the spiritual seat of Grandpa Cheng, Yingzong, and the cheap Laozi Shizong Jiajing, he stayed for the longest time.

Long Qing shook his head, so proud that he was about to fly.

Grandpa Cheng fought in the desert five times, but did not eradicate the northern captives, but wasted national strength, died on the way back to Beijing, Yingzong was even more unbearable, the battle of Tumubao, was also captured first, abdicated to the throne of the emperor.

As for Daddy Jiajing, he was beaten to the gate of the capital by others, and he lost face.

"Hahaha, I died in my hands, the grassland was completely surrendered, and the ancestors and descendants of the past generations have avenged you!"

Just saying it in Taimiao was not enough, Longqing ran to Wanshou Mountain again, crying and laughing in front of Jiajing's grave, and he was going crazy with joy.

It's not just the emperor, this big victory is also a shot in the arm for the entire New Deal.

Several cabinet elders breathed a sigh of relief, first of all, take Gao Gong as an example, he is in charge of the government, to put it bluntly, it is a moving job, who can be willing?

For example, Gao Gong wants to abolish redundant personnel, and some people want to ask, aren't there enough officials in the Ming Dynasty, why should they be abolished? In fact, there are not enough officials to work, but also a large number of shadow officials, donor officials, just take money and don't work, and some are old and deaf, but they are reluctant to let go. Straighten out the rulers and move their cheese.

In the past few months, some people have been impeached, saying that the cabinet is just the secretary of the Son of Heaven, and that the number of people has increased by hundreds of people, which is too big and inappropriate, and the cabinet elders do not want to restrain themselves, but instead criticize hundreds of officials, which is unfair.

Fortunately, Longqing trusted Gao Gong very much, but it was difficult to rectify the officials.

As for Zhang Juzheng, who is in charge of Qingzhang's fields, he is even more anxious, arching people's official hats, he is the money bag of moving people's families, and the wealthy gentry and officials from all over the country are combined together, and even killed many officials in charge of Qingzhang.

Among them, the most fierce resistance was in Nanzhili, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi and other places.

These places are different, Shandong is the three major families, second to none, that is, the Confucian family of Yansheng Gong, followed by the King of Lu, and then the Fu family of the Duke of Yingguo. There are civil officials, clansmen, and nobles, all of whom are thorns.

In contrast, the trouble of Nanzhili is even greater, in the past 30 years, the literary style in the southeast has flourished, and a large number of high-ranking officials have been produced, Suzhou, Songjiang, Yangzhou, Huizhou, just grab it, there are people from these places everywhere.

Among the major families, the Huating Xu family is the most prominent, and Tang Yi originally forced Wu Shi to come and choke the Xu family enough.

But after Xu Jie's resignation, his old man immediately became a wise man who was indifferent to fame and fortune and retreated bravely. The attacks and smears that were once unfavorable to Xu Jie's were gone, and on the contrary, a group of down-and-out literati gathered around Xu Jie, shouting for him to come out of the mountain again.

It stands to reason that Xu Jiejie should know how to advance and retreat, and he shouldn't make a fuss when he goes into the wilderness, but maybe he was in a hurry and was unwilling, so Lao Xu acquiesced to the toss of these people.

His sons used the banner of Xu Jie, and snatched back the land they had lost.

Even those who opposed the Qingzhang Tianmu also leaned under the big tree of Xu Jie's lesson and opposed the people of the imperial court. made Zhang Juzheng have a revenge, and there is no way at all. You can't kill the teacher!

In addition, supervision, military system, river engineering, household registration, toast ...... Almost every government affair has encountered strong resistance.

I have to say that reform is indeed not an easy thing, especially the cabinet elders, except for Zhao Zhenji and Gao Gong, the others seem to have insufficient foundation and insufficient qualifications.

Tang Yi concentrated power in the cabinet, and all government affairs were under the control of the cabinet elders, which was a taboo thing, and the court and those famous people in science launched counterattacks one after another.

Several pavilion elders sat together and sighed.

Chen Yiqin usually talks the least, but he is the person who knows the wind the most, "Everyone, the current situation not only reminds me of the time of Song Renzong!" ”

Zhao Zhenji said: "Could it be the Qingli New Deal? ”

"That's right, when Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the governor, the people were in the dynasty, and it was prosperous, but as a result, more than a year, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi and others were demoted from the court one after another, and the princes pondered it, is it similar to the current situation?"

The people present are all well-educated, even if it is Tang Ruji, it is also a champion, how can it be unclear.

It also happens that the Qingli New Deal and the Longqing Reform are both for the purpose of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and the core of both is to rectify the rule of officials and start from the official system, and there is another point, I don't know if God made a joke, and there are seven people who preside over the Qingli New Deal. With Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, and Han Qi as the rulers, Ouyang Xiu, Cai Xiang, Wang Su, and Yu Jing as the officials, it is much the same as the current cabinet.

Since Xu Jie's strike, the new policy has also been implemented for more than a year, and it seems to be booming, but it has also touched the interests of more and more people, and the backlash is getting louder and louder.

It doesn't seem that there is any power to provoke the cabinet, but don't forget, Fan Zhongyan and the others were defeated on the cursive script of the deposed emperor, and in an instant, the stars fell and scattered.

Gao Gong had a calm face, "Everyone, the old man thinks that you don't have to worry, Song Renzong is weak and suspicious, and he has no determination to change the law, and when he saw the opposition rising, he dismissed all the ministers, everyone can rest assured, today's saint, wise and wise, will definitely not destroy the Great Wall." ”

At the mention of Longqing, the faces of everyone present became darker and darker.

What they are worried about is Longqing!

Song Renzong is suspicious and weak, how can Longqing not be like this, and don't forget, your tall beard was bombarded home by a group of officials. Who can guarantee that the old things will not happen again?

Gao Gong could see everyone's worries, but he couldn't resolve them.

Just when there was a mess at home and abroad, Tuoketuo won a big victory, and then Xi Muyun and Li Chengliang chased and killed 3,000 miles, killed Meda, and the grassland was settled!

When the news reached the capital, these pavilion elders suddenly felt that they were much taller, and when they looked at all the courtiers, including Yang Bo, they all felt condescending!

Of course, it is not their illusion, the strategy of fighting against me is completely led by Tang Yi, and the other cabinet elders endorse it together, which is the wisdom and merit of the big guys.

Now that he has killed Alta and washed away decades of shame, the prestige of the cabinet has suddenly appeared.

Even if Zhang Siwei, the last cabinet elder, met six important ministers on the street, people would take the initiative to give way, and even those princes and princes, including Concubine Li's father Wu Qingbo Li Wei, the dignified national abbot, did not dare to compete with the pavilion elders.

It can be clearly felt that all ministries are much more diligent in the matters assigned by the cabinet, and they sit in a precarious position one by one to report on government affairs, or even only sit on a third of their buttocks, and the cabinet elders stare at them slightly, which makes them feel helpless.

Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji finally smiled, "Su Qing, you still have to earn your own face!" ”

"Yes, it cost a lot of money, and I was hesitant at first, but now it seems that he had the foresight!"

The two pavilion elders have become fine, they can't see through it, the change continues, the opposition rises, if there is no such victory, they don't say it, they can only turn to Longqing, borrow the emperor's power, and implement the change.

At that time, the success or failure of the law change was tied to the emperor's thoughts, but Longqing was not a reliable person. If he can't hold on, the overall situation of the law change will collapse in an instant.

Now that we have won a big victory, the situation is completely different, the prestige of the cabinet has come out, and the results of the new coup d'Γ©tat law have also come out, this time without the support of Longqing, from among the people, scholars, the army, businessmen, and officials, a huge force will naturally be formed, and they will identify with and support the new policy from the heart.

At this point, even if Longqing wants to drive back, it is not easy.

"Flowers bloom outside the wall and incense inside the wall, I didn't expect that a few of us old ones would have to rely on our actions to solve problems, and wait for tomorrow Let's go outside the city together to meet the victorious division!" Gao Gong suggested with a smile.

"Go together, go together." Zhao Zhenji and the others laughed.

At this moment, Luo Wanhua suddenly ran in and bowed to several elders.

"Elder Qiyuge, Elder Tang Pavilion is back."

They were just stunned, "Doesn't it mean that genius is the day when the victorious master returns, why did Tang Ge Lao run back first?" Do you want to see if we are well prepared? Gao Gong was puzzled.

Zhao Zhenji grabbed his beard, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, okay, he doesn't want to be in the limelight, he wants to be a low-key person!" ”

Chen Yiqin, Tang Ruji and others suddenly realized, and laughed together: "He can't be low-key, let's go and arrest him, catch the wind and wash the dust, don't get drunk and don't return, what do you say?" ”

"Okay, I'll go and ask Xing to come over!" Gao Gong shook off his stride and walked out with a smile. (To be continued.) )
