That hehe, extremely harsh, almost the entire court heard Shen Ling's laughter.

"King Nanling, how dare you lose your posture above the main hall?" Yu Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly impeached him.

Even if the former Nanling King Shen Ruoxu did not have the current treatment of Shen Ling, at least, Shen Ruoxu would not follow Ji Zheng to the court, let alone stand by Ji Zheng's side.

Although Shen Ruoxu won the Sacred Heart back then, it was only to the extent of a courtier. Even if the cabinet is dissatisfied with the emperor's handling of national affairs, the first thing that comes to mind is not them, the prime ministers, but the Sixiang family is the emperor's personal minister, and it is the rule of the Dayu Dynasty, so it is reasonable.

But like Shen Ling, who is really always with the emperor, it would be too much to stay an inch apart from the emperor when he returns to the harem? Are you going to be a male pet or what? Besides, Shen Ling is the person of the fifth prince and Lu Sheng are good friends, and it is not wrong to impeach you, and the direction must be correct.

Although Yushi lowered his head and was expressionless, the essence in his eyes flashed quickly.

"Yu Yushi! You impeach whoever accepts bribes, it's not good for you to impeach Lu Sheng? Don't you know that Lu Sheng is the richest person in Dayu? Last year, he handed over more than 2 million taels of silver in commercial taxes to Dayu. Shen Ling said nonchalantly.

And above the court, all levels of the six departments are looking at the nose and the nose and the heart. No one spoke, and no one participated.

"King Nanling's words are wrong, Lu Sheng is indeed rich, but he has money and it has nothing to do with him not accepting bribes. Your Majesty, the ministers have a detailed gift list in their hands to testify, and ask the emperor to check clearly. ”

"What kind of divine logic is this? People who are not bad for money will take risks to accept bribes?" Shen Ling was about to retort, but Ji Zheng suddenly interrupted Shen Ling's words.

"Yu Aiqing, the gift list you said was given to Lu Sheng by various tribes after Lu Sheng just took office in Lanzhou last year?"

"Exactly!"

"Lu Sheng has already consulted me about this matter, and I have accepted it with my permission. If that's all you want, then step aside. ”

"Yes!" Yu Yushi's eyes retreated gloomily, but it was also in his expectation. If an impeachment is successful, and Ji Zheng does not carry Lu Sheng, it can only prove that Ji Zheng is already eager to do something to Lu Sheng.

Yu Yushi's eyes instantly met with another official in the crowd, and the wordless exchange disappeared in a flash.

"Playing the emperor, the minister has the book to play!"

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, Lu Sheng, the Duke of Yiguo, has been the head town of Xuantian Mansion in Lanzhou for almost a year, and there has been no candidate for the head town of Xuantian Mansion in Chuzhou. Xuantian Mansion has great responsibilities and authority, should the emperor appoint a person to be the head town of Xuantian Mansion in Chuzhou. ”

When he said this, not only Ji Zheng was stunned, but even the Manchu courtiers were also stunned. At the beginning, everyone knew that Ji Zheng appointed Lu Sheng to concurrently serve as the head town of Xuantianfu in Lanzhou, which means that the head town of Xuantianfu in Chuzhou has never been vacant. What is the ...... Where did it come from.

But this is very clever, because Lu Sheng is also the imperial decree of Ji Zheng, and he has not entered the court to discuss it publicly. If this matter is promoted by the trend, all forces will definitely go all out to fight for the fat of Chuzhou for their own people. This is directly serving Lu Sheng on the plate.

"Mu Aiqing, the head town of Xuantianfu in Chuzhou is also Lu Sheng. Don't you know that?"

"The minister knows, but Chuzhou and Lanzhou are three thousand miles apart, and the road is far away, and there is a Qinzhou in between. One person spans such a distance to manage two states...... I'm afraid it's hard to do both, right?"

"Master Mu doesn't bother with this. Shen Ling frowned slightly, what happened today? They all fired at Lu Sheng? Who did Lu Sheng offend?

"Lu Sheng's trip to Chuzhou and Lanzhou took half a day. Master Mu is not a Martial Dao Grandmaster, but he should also understand the affairs of the Martial Dao Grandmaster Realm, right?"

"Yes, Lord Mu, the two places are separated by only three thousand miles, which is not a problem for Lu Sheng. Ji Zheng also seemed to notice the signs and said a little unhappily.

"However, Lu Sheng alone rules two states and is the official of the two places, which is ...... It is not good for Jiangshan Sheji. Throughout the ages, no official has ruled over two states alone. If Lu Sheng is disobedient, the hidden danger is too great. ”

"Lord Mu!" Suddenly, a soft cry rang out.

Standing at the forefront of the civil and military officials are the six major cabinets. He Xingzhi, who was full of silver hair, turned his head and stared at Master Mu and shouted coldly.

"When you say that one person is in charge of two states, do you mean the commander of the town army who commands the military power of the two states or our civilian colleagues?"

As soon as these words came out, Master Mu's face suddenly changed greatly.

Since the founding of Dayu, the military merits are the heaviest, and most of the gate lords and nobles have been knighted for their merits in the army, and they are also on guard. Dayu rewarded the military attache the heaviest, but also took the heaviest precautions. He Xingzhi's words directly put the civil service system on the table.

And the thinking of all dynasties is that it is impossible for literati to rebel, they have no military power, only the right to govern. Therefore, the authority is very open to civilian officials, but the number of military generals and the territory are extremely strict.

is like the three towns of Chuzhou's army, but there are three commanders, and they are not subordinate to each other, which is to prevent people from supporting the army and respecting themselves. But what is Xuantian Mansion? It does not belong to the military department, has no military power, nor does it belong to the civilian system, and it is not under the control of the six ministries of the cabinet.

So this question is really hard for Master Mu to answer.

"Elder He Ge!" At this time, the third prince Yi Yi, who was standing on the side of the court, suddenly took a step, "Xuantian Mansion is not among the six departments of the cabinet, and it is directly under the command of my father. But after all, Xuantian Mansion is to maintain law and order, and all the people under its command are a group of warriors. It stands to reason that it should belong to the generals. ”

"The third prince Mingjian, the number of registered people in the Xuantian Mansion in Chuzhou is 14,000, and the number of people in the Xuantian Mansion in Lanzhou is 8,000...... The two states together have only more than 20,000 people. commanding 20,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid he doesn't even have the rank of fifth-rank officer in the military department, right?

The authority of Xuantian Mansion lies in the fact that within his jurisdiction, everything cannot be checked, everything cannot be asked, up to the duties of officials, down to the livelihood of the people, no matter how you calculate it, it is also closer to my civil bureaucracy, right?"

"But even so, how can there be one person who is too guarded by two states?"

"What do the three princes mean that the central cabinet should not exist?" As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of silence, and Ji Yi looked at He Xingzhi with a pale face, and he couldn't even say half a word.

Don't look at the identity of the prince, it's quite good, but the prince is only the emperor's son and not the emperor. In the imperial court system, the central cabinet is the one who really assists the emperor in governing the world. The central cabinet is powerful, and the prince can only retreat.

"The central cabinet manages the nineteen states of Dayu, and I don't know how much older than Lu Sheng, does it also need to strictly guard against the central cabinet to prevent disobedience?"

"Well, the local officials have the largest jurisdiction over one state because they are afraid that the place is too big to manage. It is more than enough for Lu Sheng to manage the two states, so there is no need to discuss this matter. ”

"Yes!"

"Erchen understands!"

"Retreat—"

The civil and military officials dispersed, and Shen Ling followed Ji Zheng back to the imperial study to deal with another day's work.

"Shen Ling, what do you think of today's court situation?"

"Someone did it on purpose!"

"Purpose?"

"I don't know for the time being, the minister can only guess two points. First, some people don't seem to want Lu Sheng to stay in Lanzhou. Yu Yushi's impeachment of Lu Sheng seemed to want to drive him out of Lanzhou. And Lord Mu meant to let people replace Chuzhou and let Lu Sheng stay in Lanzhou.

But in fact, the purpose of the two of them is the same, as long as it is promoted to one person to govern one state, then Lu Sheng will definitely return to Chuzhou and leave Lanzhou.

The second point is that the battle report of the southern border has just been delivered the day before yesterday, and the five princes have completed the layout and are about to have a decisive battle. In this battle, our army is 100% sure of victory.

Taking Lu Sheng at this juncture is actually to sweep away the momentum of the five princes. ”

"But I remember...... Lu Sheng is not a member of the Five Princes?" asked with a smile.

"Because of the ministers, Lu Sheng has long been a member of the Five Princes in their eyes. ”

"What about you?" asked Ji Zheng with a smile more like a fox.

"The minister is the emperor's man!"

"If I make a prince, who do you think is suitable?"

"It depends on whether the emperor is a successor, a long, and a virtuous?"

"Liyan, is the seventh prince, Lichang is the eldest prince, Lixian...... I guess you must be talking about the Five Princes. It seems that from the beginning, in your eyes, the third child is out. ”

"The Three Princes...... How to say it, the ability is there, but his vision is too naïve. He is now co-opting every official of the six ministries, jumping up and down all day long, like a glutton. If he can jump out of his own pattern that day and look at the problem from the perspective of the world and history, he can become a generation of Ming Jun. It's just that...... How many people have been able to jump out of their own pattern throughout the ages? They can't see the form clearly, and it's just in vain. ”

Shen Ling has been trained well by Ji Zheng over the years, and he is neither humble nor arrogant in his eloquent conversation. Moreover, at the instigation of Ji Zheng, they dared to say anything when the two of them were alone. If you don't dare to say it, Ji Zheng will train people.

"In what form?"

"The battle for succession is either a royal road or a domineering one. The royal road, the people's heart is in hand, not the official heart. Even if the official heart is in hand, it should be those officials who hold real power, not those who speak officials, pen officials, and those Confucians in the Ministry of Rites. There are six prime ministers in the cabinet, and he can win over all of them stronger than all his current forces.

Wooed so many officials to advocate for him, and befriended so many gate lords and nobles who were yellow yesterday. There is no benefit except for adding notoriety. ”

"What about domineering?"

"Hold the power and take charge of the army!"

"You mean the Five Princes?"

"Your Majesty, although the five princes are in charge of the army, how can they ever hold great power? The military power of the five princes is not in the emperor's words?"

"Hahaha...... What about you, are you out of the picture?" asked suddenly.

Shen Ling was slightly stunned, a little unsure of the meaning of Ji Zheng's words.

"I don't know if I've jumped out of the pattern, so I want to hear what the so-called jumping out of the pattern is?"

"Your Majesty, the pattern of your actions is where your spiritual subjective position is. For example, everyone in the world has different views on the position of the emperor, why is this so? Because everyone in the world has his own supervisor, the so-called self-discipline.

I once heard Lu Sheng tell me a joke about a young couple working in the fields and having nothing to do to talk about at lunchtime. The woman said to the man, you said that the emperor and the queen must eat white bread and drink mountain spring water when they hoe the ground.

The man glanced at his mother-in-law with disdain, he really didn't know anything, the emperor and the empress are the richest people in the world, how could they be white bread? At least they eat meatloaf. It is a gold hoe, and the plough must be an acre of land that can produce 100 stones!"

"Poof...... Hahaha......" Ji Zheng laughed heartily, he had also heard this joke, but it was especially pleasant to hear it in Shen Ling's mouth.

"They didn't think at all that the emperor and the empress didn't need to plow the land at all. This is a matter of vision, all from their own beauty to imagine what a good life they would have if they became emperors. In the eyes of the couple, being able to eat meatloaf and plough the land with a golden hoe was the richest life.

Lustful people will think that there are countless beauties when they become emperors, people who are greedy for power can think, emperors can do whatever they want, and people with good names will think that if they become emperors, they must be a wise monarch for a hundred years. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Ling's words paused, and Ji Zheng's smile disappeared.
