Chapter 660: The Household Cabinet Dispute
For Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing, Xu Qian's current action is to force the palace.
Don't say that it is Yang Yiqing, it is Yang Tinghe, if he can back down in other things, but in this matter, he is absolutely unwilling to take a step back.
His eyes narrowed, and he didn't say anything, watching Yang Yiqing and Xu Qian arguing coldly.
"Parliament? As for the absurdity, what is the purpose of convening a court meeting? β
Although he knew that even if it was a court meeting, it would never be possible to pass the charter, but in order to prevent such a charter from coming out every once in a while, Yang Yiqing believed that it was unnecessary to discuss it in the court.
Xu Qian sneered, of course he knew that his ability to go to this household department was not from the grace of the cabinet ministers, but that these people needed to wipe their own **, in their eyes, they were more like a rag, they were used when they were useful, and they were a thorn in the flesh when they were useless.
Xu Qian was not afraid of offending them, because in fact, the two sides had already reached the point of being on the same footing, Xu Qian said: "How ridiculous, isn't it ridiculous enough to be in the household department now?" If the rules and regulations of the household department are not changed, sooner or later, this society will die on this absurdity, and now I am in charge of the household department, which is regarded as a critical order, so if this charter cannot be passed, the responsibility of a qiΔ has nothing to do with Xu. β
"What a shirk of responsibility." Yang Yiqing smiled even colder, and said, "It's a pity, it's not your turn to have the final say now." β
Xu Qian said flatly: "It's not Xu who has the final say, and it's not you who have the final say, the court has its own rules, so it has to be discussed in the court." β
Yang Yiqing was about to refute, but Yang Tinghe smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay to discuss the court, let's discuss it clearly, that's what happened, is Xu Butang satisfied?" β
Xu Qian smiled slightly and said: "It's not satisfying, this is the rule of the imperial court, isn't there a provincial test for students, and there is also a saying that you are satisfied or dissatisfied?" The rules are like this, but they all follow the rules. β
Yang Yiqing nodded his head with a cold attitude, and said: "But when the old man's ugly words come to the fore, your charter, even if it is discussed in the court, there will not be many people seconding it, do you understand?" β
Xu Qianzheng said: "At least let the lower officials be convinced." β
Leaving this sentence, Xu Qian said goodbye and went out.
The smell of gunpowder in the cabinet has obviously not dissipated, Yang Yiqing took the case, and said angrily: "Why did Yang Gong agree to him, don't you understand, this Xu Qian has always been scheming, since he has to discuss with the court, there must be a problem if he wants to come to this court, yes, has Yang Gong ever thought that if the court is deadlocked between the two sides, it will be decided by the Son of Heaven in the end, and most of Xu Qian will fight this idea." β
The court discussion is to discuss some major matters, but once the two sides are undecided, and there is still no result after a fierce dispute, then according to the rules, it should be reported to the palace and let the Son of Heaven make this decision, and fools know that the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Xu Qian is irreversible, and if you want to come to this Xu Qian, what you want is to create a situation where the court dispute is unsuccessful, and finally ask the Son of Heaven to come forward and get a ruling in your favor.
Yang Yiqing's eyes were on fire: "Once the Son of Heaven allows, then this Xu Qian will be regarded as a real Shangshu, but it is a de facto minister, even if he does not enter the cabinet, the authority is unimaginable, this is definitely not a joke, once this is the case, Yang Yiqing is absolutely unacceptable."
Yang Tinghe said calmly: "What you said is not unreasonable, but he is the secretary of the household department, so if he has to convene a court meeting to discuss this charter, can he stop it?" Don't forget, he is no longer the scholar, nor the governor, but the governor, he is now the secretary of the household, and it stands to reason that the merchant of the household department asks for a court meeting, which is a matter of course. For the sake of government, you can't be angry, since you invited him to the household department, you should endure the provocation of his household department. β
Yang Yiqing pulled down his face, Yang Tinghe's tone was quite a lesson, and it was only because he had a very good relationship with Yang Tinghe, otherwise most people thought that Yang Tinghe was going to take the opportunity to beat him, but it can also be seen that on the surface, Yang Tinghe was calm, but he was afraid that he was also very annoyed at this time, otherwise he would not have said this.
Yang Tinghe continued: "Your worries, the old man also knows, but you don't have to worry, he discusses his charter, why don't we discuss our charter?" This court meeting is not only an opportunity for Xu Qian, but also an opportunity for the cabinet. β
Yang Yiqing was confused and said, "What do you mean by Yang Gong's words?" β
Yang Tinghe said: "Immediately draw up a charter, you can learn from some of Xu Qian's views, but you have to use it for me, such as the tax bureau, this can be borrowed, but this tax bureau has to be opened, just like the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, do you understand?" β
Yang Yiqing was suddenly enlightened as if he was confused, and he suddenly became enlightened.
Wonderful.
In Xu Qian's charter, the most important thing is the tax bureau, the tax bureau is responsible for formulating the tax system, responsible for tax collection, Yang Tinghe said to follow the Dali Temple and the criminal department, in fact, it is to separate the household department and the tax bureau, the household department's requirement is to put the tax bureau under the household department, in order to coordinate, but the cabinet here, can follow the style of the criminal department and Dali Temple, the tax bureau dúlì outside the household department, so that the household department is still in charge of the treasury, and the status of the tax bureau is the same as that of the Dali Temple, the grade is lower than the household department, but the power is large, It can be directly managed by the Cabinet.
In doing so, it not only solves the current problem and increases the income, but also kicks Xu Qian away and lets the cabinet do it himself.
I think that when the Qin and Han dynasties were in charge, the court lieutenant who was in charge of the prison was in the limelight, that is, the three princes saw it, and they all had to go around the road, the prince broke the law, the court lieutenant acted for it, and the officials broke the law, and it was also the court lieutenant who broke the law, and as for the prisons of the people in various states, they were all within the jurisdiction of the court lieutenant.
It's just a pity that when Tingwei arrived in the Ming Dynasty, his responsibilities were divided into three, one was Dali Temple, one was the Criminal Department, and the other was the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
If the household department is at this time, another tax bureau is set up, and I am afraid that it will also land on the phoenix, which is not as good as a chicken.
Yang Yiqing shook his head and said, "When Yang Gong said this, I think it is feasible, but it is just that a group of people led by Xu Qian must try their best to oppose it, so what?" β
Yang Tinghe smiled: "So...... Is it that he has more people than Xu Qian, or is there more people than us? Moreover, the court discussion is supported by you and me, who should participate, this is your and my business, when the time comes, only Xu Qian himself will support Xu Qian, what is the use of opposing him alone? This is not unresolved. β
Yang Yiqing couldn't help laughing, he understood the meaning, this is actually one of the loopholes in the court discussion, on the surface, it seems to be very fair, all ministries and the chief officials of the temples can ask to discuss some major matters, but it is the cabinet ministers who preside, if the cabinet ministers are biased, in fact, the results of the court discussions will often be beneficial to the cabinet.
If only one person is against it, but the vast majority agrees, the cabinet can directly make a decision, and naturally there is no need to ask the Son of Heaven to adjudicate.
Yang Yiqing said: "Yes, this is only one of them, this tax reform is proposed by Xu Qian, and there will be a lot of resistance, let's use his name to reform the tax bureau, and the tax bureau will be out, and then the world will oppose it, and the first to scold him Xu Qian, this is a clever strategy to kill multiple birds with one stone, so the old man can't sleep tonight, and he has to preside over the constitution of the cabinet." β
Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "Pay more attention to your body." β
Yang Yiqing laughed and said, "It's okay. β
Then, Yang Tinghe immediately went to the Hanlin Academy, and transferred a lot of attendants and bachelors to participate in the revision of the charter, after all, it was plagiarizing other people's achievements, so he didn't worry about spending too much time, and the approximate time was enough.
Yang Tinghe began to select the list of people who were included in the palace meeting, and let people make a note, Xu Qian is in some **, the main henchmen are in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, in addition, the Ministry of Rites also has one, he can completely excuse this matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites and the Criminal Department, and only invite some brains from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry to participate.

"Xu Butang."
Now I think that your brother Xie Zheng, who is a bachelor of Hanlin, has come to visit.
After Xu Qian came out of the palace, he didn't go to the ministry and went home directly, and then Xie Zheng came to the door.
Xie Zheng is in the Hanlin Academy, the Yamen of the Hanlin Academy is a lot of mouthful, and he has contact with the high-level, so he knows a little bit about many things, and now he is visiting, on the one hand, he is here to meet this junior brother, in any case, this junior brother is really mixed up, and Xie Zheng's career is actually not very good, a large part of the reason, I am afraid that it is inseparable from his father.
His father is very famous, and the ministers in the court naturally don't want to remind people of the person who is far away in Zhejiang, who is a cabinet minister, and is willing to be under the halo of others, so most of them have a respectful attitude towards Xie Zheng, they will neither embarrass you, but they will never deliberately promote.
Xie Zheng's life was originally a tragedy, but Xu Qian's career made Xie Zheng suddenly realize that he was not necessarily a tragedy, although his old man enjoyed an empty name, he did not have the right to carry him, but he also had a junior brother, and this junior brother is now also a figure who has half a foot in the cabinet.

The second chapter is delivered, and the sorrow continues to urge for a monthly pass. (To be continued.) )
