To say that eunuchs are indeed not things, Teng Xiang seized the opportunity, yin and yang were weird, and he was killed, thinking that Longqing would be furious, but to his surprise, Longqing did not have any anger, but waved his hand and let him out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Teng Xiang had no choice but to bow down and retreat, leaving Longqing alone in the palace, staring at the mountains of songs, he inevitably fell into deep thought.

Although Long Qing was educated late, so that his intelligence was affected and he was not so agile, after all, he was surrounded by human spirits, and all of them were famous teachers among famous teachers.

Tang Yi once explained to Longqing the problem of the first assistant, since Zhengde and Jiajing, the authority of the first assistant has become more and more day by day, and even the emperor has been blunt, calling his university scholar "Xiang".

Yao remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang was scheming, using Hu Weiyong's case to set off a big prison, and he did not hesitate to abolish the prime minister and collect all the power, but I am afraid that no matter what, he would never have imagined that Xiangquan would resurrect in the form of a cabinet.

Moreover, the re-emergence of the relative power, compared with the past, due to the lack of the imperial historical platform, the lack of the three provinces of the separation of powers, so that the authority of the cabinet scholars even surpassed the prime ministers of the Han and Tang dynasties, and the development to this day, can completely compete with the imperial power.

For the emperor, he was naturally very unhappy, but there was nothing to be done.

Take Zhu Yuanzhang as an example, after he abolished the prime minister, he personally dealt with major and minor matters, went to court before dawn, and worked until the second half of the night, 365 days a year, without a day off. is completely fettered by complicated government affairs, and has no time to do some big things, basically after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, there are not too many earth-shattering big moves.

In contrast, Zhu Di is much smarter, he selects trusted ministers, forms a cabinet, and shares government affairs for himself, so that he can let go of his actions, conquer the grassland in the north, go to the West seven times, repair the "Yongle Canon", and govern martial arts, which makes people heartbreaking.

Zhu Di couldn't bear it, and the emperor behind him couldn't do it.

Moreover, Tang Yi told Longqing that the two dynasties of Grandpa Tai and Grandpa Cheng, because they had just come out of the war, people's livelihood withered, business declined, and there was basically no liquidity in society, and it was not bothered to manage.

But after 200 years, the population of the Ming Dynasty has increased by four to five times, and the business is prosperous, not to mention ten times!

There are many people and many things, even if the grandfather is reborn, he will definitely not be able to cope with such a complicated situation. The decentralization of the cabinet has become an inevitable choice.

The first assistant of the cabinet divides a part of the imperial power upwards, such as voting for the draft, and lowering the general consul of hundreds of officials, presiding over important affairs such as court push, court meeting, and Jingcha.

Absurdity is like righteousness, neglect of government is like Jiajing, as long as the cabinet is functioning normally, the court will not be in chaos.

The position of first assistant is very important!

Long Qing seemed to understand why the hundred officials would be like a mourning and desperately defend Xu Jie, after all, nearly 20 years before and after Lao Xu entered the cabinet, the protégés and former officials, all over the world, raised their arms and shouted, and the hundred officials responded.

I'm afraid that in the minds of hundreds of officials, Xu Jie's weight is far more valuable than that of himself, the emperor.

Long Qing smiled self-deprecatingly, it looks like I really failed!

Since Lao Xu's status is so important, he can't just change the first assistant.

Tang Yi wanted to know that his original teachings had actually helped Xu Jie, and he might find a place to smack two mouths.

But it was too late to say anything now, and Long Qing called Feng Bao and asked him to draw up a decree to keep Xu Jie. Although Feng Bao was surprised, he didn't dare to slack off, turned Longqing's meaning into a gorgeous holy decree, sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and brought a box of precious medicinal materials and two jade ruyi.

Seeing that the emperor treated himself so well, Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Long Qing knew the general situation and knew that he couldn't move himself.

However, just the last resignation, the emperor will go back to work as soon as he stays, doesn't it seem that he is hypocritical? It's also a sin to covet an official position if you don't go to the stack, and now, Xu Jie doesn't want to make any mistakes and leave a handle on his opponent.

He thanked the emperor for his kindness, wrote a long excerpt, praising Longqing's benevolence, righteousness and kindness, and then resigned to Longqing again with sincere words, leaving his fate completely to the emperor for ruling.

After the song went up, it was already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Xu Jieben thought that no one would see him during the New Year, and he closed the door to thank the guests, but he didn't know that the second son Xu Kun actually came from Songjiang's hometown.

When the father and son met, Xu Kun burst into tears.

"Dad, Wu Shilai, that brute stole our family's field, and now the gentry in the south are vying to join the Nanyang Company, but our family has no share, seeing that those turtles have surpassed our family, you have to get an idea!"

This time the loss of points and passivity started from his hometown in the southeast, and the image that Xu Jie painstakingly created plummeted, and the old Xu really wanted to hang his son up and beat him hard.

But time has passed, and Xu Jie can't hate it.

The Xu family in Huating, hundreds of people, have no family background, how to live a comfortable life. The annexation of land property was originally something that the gentry in the world did, and Tang Yi was to blame, he took the lead in donating the land, which made Xu Jie very passive......

Xu Kun wiped his tears, "Dad, Tang Yi is simply playing tricks, he did take out all the fields in Suzhou, but their Tang family is in Dongfan Island, not to mention one million acres of land!" ”

"Oh, there are so many?" Xu Jie asked in surprise.

"Not really." Xu Kun suddenly came to the spirit, "Dad, Dongfan Island is suitable for growing sugarcane, one acre of land can squeeze five stones of sugar, two months ago, the first batch of sugar from Dongfan Island arrived, don't you see, there are crowds of people, they all run to buy sugar, it's cheap, it's clean, and everyone likes to put one." A stone of sugar is more than twice as expensive as a stone of rice, and it can be sold for three or four taels of silver, one million acres of land, and after deducting the cost, there are three million taels of silver a year. ”

Xu Jie's treatment of overseas is very conservative and fearful of a tiger. When I think of the vast ocean, my mind is full of wild places, pirates are haunted, and the land of smoke and miasma...... It's just that he never imagined that the overseas interests would be so great!

He asked his son that Dongfan Island could open up more than 5 million acres of fields, and if all of them were planted with sugarcane, he would be able to cover the income of the household just by selling sugar a year.

What a piece of oily fat!

At the beginning, Tang Yi suggested that Ryukyu and Luzon be merged into the Ming Dynasty and send a governor to manage it, but Xu Jie strongly opposed it.

Now that I think about it, what a missed opportunity!

"Alas, it is indeed old." Xu Jie shook his head helplessly, "After the New Year, my father will find a way to take Dongfan Island into the hands of the imperial court, and when the time comes, you will send capable people to manage it well, and you can really grasp Dongfan Island in your hands, and return it to others in Songjiang's field, and your reputation is important!" ”

Lao Xu was willing to give up some of his land, and it seemed that he was indeed a little scared.

……

The second resignation was submitted, and this time more people stood up and spoke for Lao Xu, thinking that Xu Ge Lao had outstanding merits, was a humble gentleman, and the pillar of the court, and the Ming Dynasty could not do without Xu Jie.

Long Qing said that he didn't eat it, it was fake.

"Alas, Xu Ge Lao called Bainuo, what I wanted to do, but it was bumpy, it was really a different life!" Long Qing complained self-deprecatingly.

Teng Xiang's eyes lit up, and he still had a note in his arms, which was sent by Yang Bo last night.

"Emperor Qi, not all of them speak for Xu Ge, and some people may not see it that way."

"Oh? Could it be you? Long Qing asked with a smile.

"Give the slave and maid 10,000 guts, and I don't dare to discuss the rights and wrongs of the old man, but the slave and maid have a letter here, and the criminal department has given Zhang Qishang in the matter." Teng Xiang hurriedly sent it up.

"They are all officials, a raccoon dog, what can be clever."

Long Qing took it casually, unfolded it, and only read a few lines of words, and suddenly his face changed wildly.

Zhang Qi wrote a book, impeaching Xu Jie's various major crimes, a total of five.

First, Xu Jie once served the first emperor for eighteen years, and Xu Jie's immortal civil engineering things were all approved of by the first emperor; As soon as the first emperor died, he planned to write the "Edict" to count the mistakes of the first emperor, and it was clear that there were two sides and three swords, and the appearance was inconsistent.

A year ago, there was no lethality, but now it looks very vicious, Longqing has gradually found the feeling of being an emperor, and also understands that a wise and martial father is only good for him, no harm, in a word, he and Jiajing are father and son after all, the father stinks, and he also has no face.

Second, Xu Jie once got along with Yan Song for fifteen years, got married, and became in-laws, and never had a dispute with Yan Song once; And Yan Song's power declined, he immediately turned around and fell into the well, forcing Yan Song to have to pick up food in the cemetery, the first assistant of the house, no face, Yan Song is really guilty, he should be handed over to the judge, if he is not guilty, as the first assistant of twenty years, how can he be so bleak?

Taken together, the two are called disloyalty and injustice, and there is a loss in the big section, which is morally attacking Xu Jie.

The next three are accusing Xu Jiejie of being incompetent and forming a party for personal gain.

Third, the border is in an emergency, and the emperor has expressed concern many times, but Xu Jie is indifferent and ignores it, the upper and lower effects, the military department is slow to react, and there are internal ghosts in the imperial court.

Fourth, Xu Jie's pretense of the edict to pull relationships and expand contacts everywhere to consolidate his position, and he did not think about state affairs and was good at prestige, so that the court was all Xu Jie's private individuals.

Fifth, Xu Jie, as an exemplary official, not only did not restrain his family, but instead committed murder, in order to encroach on the land, forced hundreds of people from good families to death, and occupied hundreds of thousands of acres of land. The financial difficulties of the imperial court are all due to the greedy ministers like Xu Jie, which makes mergers become commonplace, and the people are not happy.

To sum it up, people in the world only know that there is Xu Shoufu, and they don't know that there is His Majesty!

Zhang Qi's bullet seal has no new ideas, and almost all the charges are clichés, but as long as the timing is right, no matter how ordinary things are, they will turn decay into magic.

After Xu Jie's resignation, hundreds of officials frantically retained, and the music was piled up, and the royal affairs, they were not so dedicated, but they were so filial to Xu Jie.

The more this is the case, the more weight Zhang Qi's words will have!

It is true that no one in the world regards me as an emperor anymore, Master Tang taught me correctly, the position of the first assistant is indeed very important, but no matter how important it is, you can't climb on top of my head, and pee!

Maybe it's really time to dismiss the prime minister - as soon as the idea came to him, Long Qing hit a spirit, looking at the momentum of the hundred officials, if Xu Jie was dismissed, they might not be so noisy.

What should I do to get rid of Xu Jie? Long Qing fell into deep thought. (To be continued.) )
