Since Tang Yi left, Yang Bo sighed and didn't even eat dinner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Until the time of the lamp, Yang Junmin couldn't stand it anymore and came to his father's room.

"Dad, isn't it just a pair of lion heads, go back to the glass factory and give you ten pairs of eight pairs, you can play as much as you want."

"Phew!" Yang Bo was so angry that he smacked him and scolded angrily: "Stupid, your father is so shallow-eyed, and he is still worried about getting angry for a pair of literary games?" ”

Yang Junmin hurriedly smiled, and when he got behind his father, he helped Yang Bo rub his sore shoulders.

"Actually, the child understands, you are always angry with Tang Yi, but now that people are in power, Your Majesty obeys him, how many grievances do we have, and we have to hide them in our stomachs, and we can't touch our heads by ourselves, do you say yes?"

Yang Bo leaned on the chair, squinting his old eyes, his shoulders were rubbed sore and painful, very comfortable.

"What you said Dad has lived a lifetime, how can he not understand."

"So what are you worried about? Are there fewer people who have gained power over the years? At the beginning, Zhang Cong said yes, and then Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, which one is not a moment of power, but now, the Si people have passed away, only our pine and cypress are evergreen, you are old and strategic, invincible in the world, and the big guys rely on you! ”

Yang Junmin is not a joke, the Jin Party does have the confidence to sit firmly in Diaoyutai regardless of the wind and waves. Over the past few decades, the tide has ebbed and flowed, no matter who is in power, they have not been treated like this, on the contrary, the power of the Jin Party has become bigger and bigger, and business has become more and more prosperous, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't stop them from getting rich.

"You're right, but things have changed."

Yang Bo simply stood up and walked around a few laps with his hands behind his back before he said, "Tang Yi just revealed to me that he said that he wanted to add four or five more cabinet scholars. ”

"What?"

Yang Junmin jumped up in shock, "Dad, since Grandpa Cheng, there haven't been so many people in the cabinet, right?" ”

"More than that, he also said that he wanted to get Lao Ge, Hu Zongxian, and Gao Suqing back to the court, but my father just couldn't figure out what kind of calculation he had!"

Yang Junmin was also stunned, "Dad, it stands to reason that Tang Yi has finally entered the cabinet, as long as Li Chunfang is killed, he will be able to dominate the world, with His Majesty's trust in him, let it go, what ambitions are there, and it can't be realized?" People are afraid of being divided and desperately seize the power in their hands, Tang Yi is good, he has a sick brain, get a bunch of old antiques back, who will have the final say in the court in the future? ”

Yang Bo spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "I don't know, if these people come back, although they have received Tang Yi's favor, they may not really obey their words, after all, they are all old fritters, and they have a stomach." How the situation will develop in the future, the old man is not sure! ”

……

Yang Bo sighed and worried, but Tang Yi's study was elated, obviously admiring Tang Yi's hand.

Mao Kun smiled and analyzed Tang Yi's plan, "In the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the civil and official group has been expanding, especially in the last hundred years, even with the means of the first emperor, it is not possible to really achieve the dictatorship of the cadres, on the contrary, it is the first emperor who avoided Xiyuan, which made the Yan Party dominant, and I have to admit that the power of the first assistant was greatly expanded during the Yan Song Dynasty, suppressing the six ministries, and transcending the Jiuqing, which can really be compared to the prime minister of the Han and Tang Dynasties." However......" Mao Kun changed his words, "Although Xiangquan is powerful, it has fatal shortcomings, because civil officials are a group of people, everyone's interests are intricate, and there is serious internal friction. ”

"That's right." Wang Yin took over the conversation and said: "In recent decades, the situation has been very clear, once the civil official group reaches an agreement, I'm sorry, the emperor can only stand aside. However, if there is disharmony within the civil and official groups, and even struggle with each other, the emperor needs to take the lead and coordinate the adjudication, in other words, the emperor can see the cracks and manipulate the court situation. ”

Therefore, in order to truly get rid of dependence on imperial power, the civilian clique must be able to resolve disputes and form a unified opinion on its own. In other words, the civilian-bureaucratic group must be expanded, improved, and stand up! ”

The two great strategists, alternating analysis, are getting closer and closer to the core of the problem.

Tang Yi said with a smile: "Grandpa Tai abolished the prime minister, divided the power into six departments, and set up six department corridors to control the big with the small. At the local level, three divisions were also set up, and governors and governors were also dispatched, and the purpose of the inspections was nothing more than to divide the government affairs from the central center to the localities, and to contain each other, and finally His Majesty the Emperor made decisions alone. ”

Tang Yi saw Zhu Yuanzhang's wishful thinking clearly, but this kind of bureaucratic system that serves the emperor alone has a drawback, because all parties contain and hinder each other, just like a luxury car, but it has no engine and cannot act on its own.

Only the emperor alone can provide power, but the emperor is uneven, Taizu and Chengzu are wise and martial needless to say, Xuanzong, Emperor Xiaozong is also working hard, this "Daming" is in their hands, running smoothly, but catching up with Yingzong, Wuzong such a ridiculous emperor, the car has a problem. fell into the hands of Jiajing, and simply broke down.

"If you want to break the pattern left by Taizu, you must really concentrate the power scattered to various ministries, establish a new system piece by piece, increase the number of cabinet elders, and appoint respected old ministers, which is the first step, first of all, to make the civil official group strong and able to really come up with feasible methods, instead of praying for the emperor's ruling!"

It was only with a few henchmen and strategists that Tang Yi dared to reveal his heart and tell all his plans.

Mao Kun and Wang Yin both agreed with Tang Yi's view, but they were also worried.

"My lord, these old ministers are amazingly qualified, they have their own opinions, they have inherited your love, but they may not be your people, there will be arguments in the court in the future, how to control it, but it depends on your kung fu." Mao Kun reminded.

Wang Yin let out a long sigh, "The sea is inclusive, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, my lord, the real test has just begun, guard against arrogance and rashness, and be humble and humble." Xu Huating's so-called three-return program is actually a good thing, but it is not necessary to return the master with Weifu, Weifu naturally has to be controlled in the hands of Shoufu! Huating didn't have a heart to do things, it depends on your means. ”

……

In March, Tang Yi and Zhao Zhenji have been in the cabinet for more than two months, they have been completely familiar with government affairs, Tang Yi and Zhao Zhenji have rich administrative experience, strong executive ability, with their entry into the cabinet, the original slow and inefficient cabinet began to run at high speed, all kinds of government affairs are implemented quickly, although there is no earth-shattering slogan, there is nothing amazing, but the changes are real, there are obvious to all.

The prestige was established little by little, and in March, two grand ceremonies were particularly eye-catching, the first was the triennial imperial examination, which was the first examination after the Longqing reform, and the court was particularly concerned.

Chen Yiqin presided over the examination, he deliberately transferred 300 men from Jinyiwei ten days before the start of the imperial examination, and borrowed 500 soldiers from Qi's army, and the rest of the department, all the personnel, were temporarily assigned, transferred from other places, and even did not know that he was responsible for the examination work until he entered the capital.

It is a group of completely unfamiliar personnel, who strictly enforce the discipline of the examination room, starting from the inspection and search, meticulously, and the strictness is more than ten times more severe than before.

After the selection, it was unprecedented, and a total of more than 580 people passed the examination.

Some examiners were worried about the number of people, Chen Yiqin pondered for a long time, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"In recent years, there has been a great rise in education, and there are several times more people reading than in the past, all of which are exquisite articles.

Chen Yiqin took the initiative to find Longqing, just in time for Tang Yi to ask for orders to deal with personnel, as soon as he heard that there were too many people, Tang Yi of course supported him, and in a few words, he fooled Longqing into the road.

There are many talents in the world, and they are in my urn. Long Qing was also overjoyed, not only agreed, but also personally thought hard about it, and formulated the title of the palace examination: I am the only one who is the ruler of the world, and the prosperity is reasonable, and the politics are many, but the business is based on business, and the army is well prepared, which is the greatest......"

Since the painstaking study of "The Wealth of Nations", Longqing has been very disapprehensive about the fundamentals of agriculture and the view that business is the last industry.

It has to be said that it is a great innovation to put him in parallel with agriculture and commerce and put forward the viewpoint of attaching equal importance to agriculture and business.

Originally, Longqing was worried about whether it would cause a backlash from the candidates.

Who knows, seventy or eighty percent of these people who can pass the examination are from the south, and as for the students from the north, most of them are still studying in academies supported by Jin merchants. They are all heavily influenced by business, and even students from the southeast, most of whom run workshops or engage in long-distance trafficking.

The profits of business are obvious to all, and the study of mind is widely disseminated, and everyone is not rejecting businessmen.

Longqing's exam questions were so popular that many newspapers published them, and businessmen all over the world were grateful, raising money to hire people to write articles, praising Longqing, and praising the emperor like a flower.

Since then, Longqing has had an additional hobby, that is, to let the eunuchs collect newspapers every day and see what is said on them, which is even more interesting than watching the minister's recitals.

Longqing Wuchen Branch, a total of 585 Jinshi were admitted, which was the highest in the history.

On the day when the emperor list was officially announced, a carriage rushed to the capital, and two people, an old man and a young man, jumped from the car, the old man was in his early sixties, his back was straight, his eyes were sharp, and his body was full of majesty.

looked up at the tall city gate, stretched his waist and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I, Hu Zongxian, would be able to return to the capital in this life, it's really not easy!" ”

Almost at the same time as him, Ge Shouli, the former secretary of the household department, Mao Kai, the former secretary of the Dali Temple, Gao Yi, the former secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, Li Tianzhong, the former governor of Zhejiang, and Zhang Shouzhi, the secretary of the Nanjing household department, and Fang Fang, the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department......

A total of more than ten high-ranking officials of the ministry have entered Beijing, and for a time, the sages of the court have been all over the place, and it is very lively.

Everyone knows that this group of people entering Beijing must be to impact the existing situation, in the past, the people of the Xu Party were panicked, but there was no way, who let Tang Yi in the name of Xu Jie's proposed Jiajing edict, they couldn't even say anything against it, it seems that Xu Jie still did something good.
