Contradictions between cabinet ministers seem to have begun to erupt. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

You know, this kind of mutual ridicule is rare. No matter how deep the contradiction is, it is generally impossible to say such vicious words.

Now that one pavilion elder is sarcastic that another pavilion elder has nothing to do, and then the old accounts have been turned out, so it seems that the struggle has begun to be made public, and this year, Jinyiwei is not having a good time, and the court is not like this?

The cabinet is the central organ of the Ming Dynasty, to put it bluntly, it is the core of the hundred officials, there is a little shock here, and it is even more troublesome and tricky than the accident in the palace, because there is an accident in the palace, and the one who carries the black pot may be Jinyiwei, it may be Dongchang, it may be the emperor's relatives, but the cabinet changes, there will always be people who are unlucky, and now the top priority in front of everyone is the problem of standing in line.

A new round of reshuffling is already imminent.

In fact, this round of reshuffle has begun, the Jingcha of the Ministry of Officials has already started, and rumors have also come out, and several officials promoted by Liu Jixin have received comments such as inaction, carelessness, old age, illness, impetuousness, and weakness, and it is obvious that Ma Wensheng has made a move.

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, is a hardcore Liu Jiandang, this is a well-known thing in the world, and it seems not strange to suddenly make such a move, but Ma Wensheng came to be a pawn, but it also made people see the seriousness of the problem, in the past, even if there was a contradiction in the cabinet, it had to maintain the situation of fighting but not breaking, everyone would not directly tear their faces, and it was impossible to play so directly, but now, the contradictions between the two sides are obviously more powerful than in the Chenghua years, which is clearly to clean up people directly.

The Ministry of Officials had just made a move, and the Ministry of War also began to act at the same time, and Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, directly dismissed a military attache of Jingwei on the grounds that it involved corruption in the Bureau of Creation and deducted military salaries.

The officials and the military department are engaged in anti-corruption, and the two great Shangshu are acting almost at the same time, which seems to prove that the appointment and dismissal of the entire Beijing division officials is not the turn of some people to speak, even if you have the ability to install your own cronies, but as long as someone wants to do it, it is only a matter of time before the fight continues.

At this moment, everyone knew that the matter was really big, and it seemed that the princes of the DPRK and China had been dissatisfied with some people for a long time, and at this time they planned to carry out a special operation to suppress this person in one fell swoop.

In fact, if you think about this kind of thing, you can understand that the greatest power of the cabinet elders does not lie in how much ability they have, the real right is the appointment and dismissal of officials, although the appointment and dismissal of officials is the business of the ministry, but almost every cabinet minister has the right to control the ministry, and besides, the appointment and dismissal of some high-ranking officials is not the turn of the ministry, and these are the goals of the cabinet ministers.

It is precisely because of this power that there will be party henchmen, and only if you can be promoted and promoted, will everyone be willing to saddle the horse for you, isn't it? At the same time, relationships such as fellow villagers, peers, and protégés are also the lubricant that consolidates the system.

And now, it is obvious that someone is taking advantage of this to eliminate Liu Ji's influence and directly knock out Liu Ji's henchmen, which is to deprive Liu Ji of the power to appoint and dismiss officials, once the hundred officials in the court see that Liu Ji can't even keep his protégé and former officials, who else dares to mess with him? Everyone is attached to the cabinet ministers, just to be promoted, but now even the officials may be dismissed, who would dare to get involved with this kind of person.

Without the power to appoint and dismiss officials, there will be no party members, and without party members, don't say that you are just a second assistant, that is, the first assistant, that is just a joke, paper cabinet, who are you talking about? It is said that during the Chenghua period, the cabinet did nothing, there were thousands of concubines to get power, and there were all kinds of Danshi warlocks interfering in the government, and the cabinet, which should have been the center of the imperial court, did not dare to have the slightest disobedience, and handed over all the rights that should have belonged to the imperial court.

And Liu Ji looked very calm, when the storm was about to come, he actually seemed to be able to sit still, and he still went to the cabinet duty room on time this morning, neither saying anything cruel nor letting out any rumors.

In the cabinet, Li Dongyang was already there, and when he saw Liu Jilai, he nodded at Liu Ji as usual, and said, "Liu Gong is old, and he came so early." ”

It sounded very warm, but when I chewed it carefully, I found that something was not quite right, and the voice-over seemed to say, "You are old."

Liu Ji was unmoved, and said with a smile: "If it's late, wouldn't it be a corpse vegetarian meal?" It's nothing hard to work hard, but what I'm most afraid of is rumors. ”

Li Dongyang smiled when he heard this, and continued to draw up tickets in the recital, Liu Ji's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was a recital handed by the Guangdong Political Secretary, which seemed to be for the construction of roads. Guangdong has always been poor, the household registration is not much, even the household registration in Guangzhou is only 70,000, far from the conditions for building roads, now Lianzhou has become one of the goods distribution centers in the Ming Dynasty, Guangdong is only a few steps away from Lianzhou, and even Lianzhou was once the county of Guangdong, how can people miss the opportunity? Naturally, Baba came to play the court and let the court open up.

In fact, there are really a lot of letters in the cabinet asking for the construction of roads, and there are many important towns, because the requirements of the imperial court cannot keep up, but they can't help but be a little red-eyed, so they all come to this cabinet.

Li Dongyang also seemed to be in a dilemma, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Liu Ji just glanced at it, and saw Xie Qian who was studying and reporting on the side, Xie Qian obviously didn't have the time to take care of him, and ignored him. Liu Ji just smiled, then sat down on his case, called his subordinate officials, and said, "Go, let the Secretary of General Affairs bring the book." ”

On the other side, Xie Qian got out of school and reported, and began to bury the first case.

In the cabinet, no one made a sound, but the tense atmosphere made those subordinate officials and scribes a little breathless, and no one dared to squeak, and they were all tiptoeing to pass all kinds of recitals, or rearrange and classify the newly drafted recitals.

Xie Qian had just read a recital, and was about to read the second one, but his face suddenly changed.

This book in his hand, what it says is just a royal history, the imperial history is dedicated to impeachment, to put it bluntly, if the imperial court is a big tree, the imperial history is a woodpecker, specially used to catch insects, but most of the time, the hard-working woodpeckers of the Ming Dynasty obviously have no interest in catching insects, and are specially used to repair people.

In fact, the content of the book is very simple, it is about the matter of the high king, the king of the high king came to Beijing, Zhao Yifu, the secretary of the Honglu Temple, neglected his duties and has been punished, but this matter is wrong in the Honglu Temple, is there nothing wrong with the Ministry of Rites? The Ministry of Rites also has the responsibility of welcoming and sending off the vassal king, and now the vassal king enters Beijing, but he does not dare to stay in Honglu Temple, and the Ministry of Rites does nothing, what is the reason, so please ask the emperor to investigate to the end no matter what, and you can't just find someone to carry the black pot.

This recital is simply against the sky, obviously, the purpose of the recital is to pull the Ministry of Rites into the water, Honglu Temple is responsible, the Ministry of Rites is also responsible, no matter what, you have to give everyone a deal, otherwise it is unfair, favoritism.

The question is, who is the Book of Rites? That is Li Dongyang's concurrent, Mingli seems to be firing at the Ministry of Rites, but the real target is Li Dongyang, a royal history, who gave him such a big courage to dare to challenge the old man?

Xie Qian closed the book, glanced at Liu Ji unceremoniously with a pair of eyes, he sat behind the desk, and muttered for a moment, but he was a little out of breath. If others encounter this situation, most of them will quietly put it aside first, and then talk about it later, but Xie Qian is different, he hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the recital and walked to Li Dongyang's side, and said: "Let's look at this recital, how do you think it will be decided?" ”

Xie Qian's actions naturally couldn't escape Liu Ji's eyes, and the corners of Liu Ji's eyes fell on Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.

Aren't you going to clean up my henchmen? That's good, I'll go straight to Huanglong and directly lead the disaster to you Li Dongyang, I, Liu Ji, is not wrong with being a papier-mâché elder, but you two stinky boys want to come and put the old man right, but they are still tender, it is Liu Jian, when the old man was the first assistant, he was still just a small second assistant.

Li Dongyang took the recital and read it again, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, but he was not as determined as Xie Qian, but he smiled slightly, and said: "This recital is very interesting, it is better to let Liu Gong read it together." ”

Liu Ji raised his eyes in surprise and said, "What kind of book is so interesting?" ”

Li Dongyang asked his subordinate officials to hand over the book, and said with a smile: "Liu Gong will know it at a glance." ”

Liu Ji took the book with great interest, glanced at it casually, and said lightly: "It's really not like words, now the atmosphere of the court is really getting more and more laissez-faire, there are so many people making a big fuss about the high king, but what the imperial history said is not unreasonable, Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites are responsible for the reception, and now this kind of thing has happened, although Honglu Temple is at fault, but the Ministry of Rites cannot say that there is no responsibility, the emperor has to make a bowl of water even, and he can't favor one over the other." As he spoke, he smiled and said, "But this is the reason, some things really can't be taken seriously, Li Gong said yes?" ”

Li Dongyang smiled faintly: "What does Liu Gong mean?" ”

Liu Ji said so much, in fact, it was all nonsense, and Li Dongyang just wanted to ask him what he meant in person.

Liu Ji smiled and said, "The old man can't be the master of this matter, so let's ask the holy judge." ”
