Liu Geng was overjoyed and said: "Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who is this person?" ”

Fu Bi sneered: "Liu Sheren, you think badly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's impossible for me, after all, what Your Majesty is looking for is a courtier who approves of the new policy and will not change his course arbitrarily. In fact, to be honest, I don't agree with the new policy, the so-called 'water is clear, there are no fish, and people are inspected, there are no fugitives', Your Majesty is too restrictive to civil officials, and now it can be suppressed, but when the prince is in power? ”

Liu Geng was silent, indeed, today's saints hate corrupt officials the most, and civil officials have become frightened birds over the years. Although the efficiency of work has risen, every day I am afraid that one day, a huge contradiction will break out between the monarch and the minister.

"However, I have to say that Your Majesty is very good to the people, and having such a benevolent monarch is the blessing of the people!" Fu Bi deserves to be an old man, and he suddenly saw the key question, "But can the prince understand the Sacred Heart and follow His Majesty's policy?" Only God knows. ”

Fu Bi's words, saying half and half of it, to the effect that civil officials are all inferior, no matter how high he is, he can't help but be greedy. Under long-term repression, how many people can bear to take risks? In recent years, the number of prisoners in the prisons of the Supervision Department has quietly increased, and this is the reason.

It's like an old cat sleeping with a salted fish on its pillow, how to sleep soundly! Not to mention the officials and military attachés, the money and silver handled are endless. The military attache is okay, he knows that he has insufficient means and insufficient brains, and he can't deal with the Supervision Department at all, and he doesn't dare to go beyond it slightly. But civil officials are different, and some of them are bold enough to dare to make a fuss on the books.

It's a pity that in the face of the "double-entry bookkeeping method" granted by Lu Chengqi, the fake accounts they made can't stand scrutiny at all, which is why there are more and more criminals, and the imperial examination is held once every two years. If this continues, I am afraid that holding the imperial examination once a year will be difficult to deal with the prisoners who frequently step down.

Liu Geng is not stupid, he also understood the meaning of these words, nodded silently, and said after a while: "Then according to the public's opinion, who will be the first assistant of the cabinet?" ”

"It's all said, the power of heaven is unpredictable, what does Your Majesty think, where can ordinary people figure it out?" Fu Bi took a long time, took a sip of the teacup, and sighed with satisfaction, "Good tea!" ”

Liu Gengtao couldn't speak, and he didn't have the heart to taste tea with Fu Bi, so he said a few more innocuous words, and then left.

Fu Bi looked at his back and sneered in his heart: "Such a courtier, can he also be a fourth-grade official?" Alas, I don't know if Your Majesty can control it, relying on the Supervision Department is never a long-term solution, I don't know when Your Majesty will wake up, these years, the Supervision Department seems to be a bit out of line......"

Dashun Imperial Palace, inside the vertical arch hall.

Lu Chengqi was also worried, looking at a series of old ministers' names helplessly, but he couldn't find anyone who could serve as the head assistant of the cabinet.

It's not that he is picky, with the ability of these old ministers, it is more than enough to be qualified as the head and assistant of the cabinet, but Lu Chengqi is worried that they will not be of the same mind as the new policy.

This practice has been since the time of Yuan Shou, don't say that once a son of heaven and a courtier, that is, a Zaifu, you have to make a change. It's not a change in personnel, it's a change in government affairs, anyway, how to toss and come. It seems that if you don't toss it, you'll be like being Jaesuke for nothing.

Fortunately, there is still a governor next to him, so Zaisuke can't act arbitrarily. Otherwise, Dashun must be in trouble.

Lu Chengqi founded the cabinet, which was originally the same idea. We can't let all the people of one party occupy the cabinet, otherwise, we will have to bring Dashun to the abyss. The urine nature of civil officials, Lu Chengqi has long been taught. Give them a little color, and they'll open a dye shop, and if you take a step back, they'll kick their nose in the face. These civil officials are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and when they encounter a soft-eared emperor like Yuan Shou, they take the limelight; But when they encountered a tough emperor like Lu Chengqi, they died down, hibernated, and waited for the opportunity to make a comeback.

Now that the cabinet has changed its head and assistant, it is when they are most active. Why? It's just to get the right to speak!

Although the chief assistant of the cabinet is not as good as the chief assistant of the cabinet, it is better to be able to openly form a party for personal gain.

Lu Chengqi has long seen through the fancy intestines of civil officials, so he has always firmly grasped the appointment of cabinet ministers in his own hands, and he will replace them when the situation is not good, so that you can get stuck!

"By the way, there are a total of twelve cabinet ministers with the first assistant of the cabinet, and I will let the three families enter the cabinet together, and I will see how they make trouble!" A wilted idea rose in Lu Chengqi's heart, and he laughed, "Don't you like to fight, let you fight enough!" ”

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi carefully studied the list of cabinet ministers and the list of all the old ministers, and he had a plan in his heart.

Three days later, the cabinet personnel changes shocked the government and the opposition.

Jiang Ying, Zhu Xucai, Wei Xujing, Zheng Yan, Sun Leping, Cao Wenzhong, He Yunli, Shi Wenfei, Zhang Siming, Lu Zhenduan, Zhao Yuanyi, and other eleven ministers of the former cabinet were all transferred out of the cabinet and appointed to important positions in the central government of the imperial court.

In order to replace the eleventh ministers of the cabinet, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Fu Bi, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, Fan Chunren, Li Chang, Sun Jue, Zeng Gong, Liu Zhi, and Han Jiang were transferred from the previous Jiang Ying and others to replace the eleventh ministers of the cabinet, and no longer held any official positions outside the cabinet.

As soon as this move came out, everyone was shocked.

Except for Wang Anshi and Fan Chunren, these are all old ministers of the Yuan Shou period, any courtier can be selected to serve as a minister, but he can only be a cabinet minister?

You know, there is also a cabinet chief assistant riding on the head of the cabinet minister, which of these old ministers is a simple goods, and they will definitely not be convinced?

The whole Dashun, I don't know if I can find a courtier who can suppress these people, this time, the emperor is playing with fire and self-immolation!

The royal order cannot be violated, Wen Yanbo and others, after handing over their duties with doubts, came to the cabinet office - Wende Hall together, and they all sat still, looking forward to seeing who would serve as the most difficult cabinet chief assistant?

His subordinates are all "thorns", this cabinet chief assistant is not easy to be!

waited and waited, but never waited for the first assistant of the cabinet to appear. It wasn't until today's son Lu Chengqi appeared in the Wende Hall that they came to their senses: "Isn't Your Majesty going to set up a cabinet chief assistant this time?" ”

Come to think of it, none of them are eating dry food, even Wang Anshi has done an excellent job in the past few years. Everyone knows that if it weren't for the qualification restrictions, I am afraid that Wang Anshi would have entered the court as an official and achieved important positions, so no one here has any doubts about his appointment as a cabinet minister. As for the other officials, at most, they chewed their tongues and envied Wang Anshi's holy family.

As for Fan Chunren, he is the second son of the famous minister Fan Zhongyan, and his own talent and virtue are extremely outstanding, and as a cabinet minister, there is no doubt about it.

Even the two people with the least qualifications are not small, and it is normal for the emperor to not be able to set the first assistant of the cabinet.

"See Your Majesty!"

The new cabinet ministers saluted together, and Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "All the ministers are flat!" ”

After a pause, he then said straight to the point: "Do you have some questions, why the first assistant of the cabinet has not been decided?" In fact, I am also in trouble, if you talk about it, who can be the head of this cabinet? (To be continued.) )
