Chapter 502: Negative Response
"Shousuke-sama, you have to make a decision on this matter early!" Lu Wan said in a deep voice.
Yang Yiqing's head was as big as a fight, and as soon as he drove away the courtiers, several members of the cabinet came to the first assistant duty room, and he didn't even have a chance to take a breath.
Glancing at the indignant Lu Wan, Yang Yiqing knew that this guy had been brewing a volcano in his chest and abdomen.
Of the seven cabinet ministers, there are still six left after Yang Tinghe is gone, and the six of them have encountered the reform of the official system, and the various official positions that were originally held have also made great changes, but the department has been restructured, and there has been no change in the functions and powers, only one......
That is, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been completely destroyed......
The Imperial Court is in charge of the imperial history of the six departments and thirteen provinces, and it is a place where the officials are concentrated, and the real position is humble and powerful, but Emperor Jiajing does not wait to see the officials, so he directly changed the Metropolitan Inspectorate......
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is gone, and Lu Wan's Zuodu Yushi is naturally gone, so Lu Wan became the president of the Ming Supreme Procuratorate......
Everyone knows that Emperor Jiajing abolished the Criminal Department and set up three divisions of the Inspection Law, which means that the Criminal Department was divided into three, which were related to each other but not subordinate to each other, and the dignified Zuodu Yushi was divided into one-third of the powers!
Among them, the deepest feeling of the gap is naturally Lu Wan himself, and he must be the most dissatisfied with the reform of the official system.
Lu Wan himself is hot-tempered, and he is considered an orthodox conservative, and he is naturally full of complaints about Emperor Jiajing's drastic reforms, so in the early stage of reform, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate led by Lu Wan can be described as overwhelming and indiscriminate bombardment of reform measures.
It's a pity that the blowout of the speech officials not only did not have an effect, but deepened Emperor Jiajing's dislike for speech officials, and directly contributed to the process of the emperor's abolition of the speech official system!
sprayed reform, and finally sprayed the yamen out, you can imagine what Lu Wan's mood was......
However, Lu Wan is only fifth in the cabinet, even if the first assistant Yang Tinghe is gone, he is only fourth, he is a big man in the court, but in the cabinet, his voice is not heavy enough.
So Lu Wan has been enduring it, because he knows that Emperor Jiajing, who is determined to reform and ignores it, will sooner or later make a move against Confucianism, and he is waiting for an opportunity in hibernation, because only Emperor Jiajing's action on Confucianism, Taoism and vital interests will arouse a strong backlash from scholars all over the world, and that time will inevitably be the time when all the world's scholars are most united!
He is waiting for an opportunity, a chance to turn the tables, in Lu Wan's opinion, as long as the Shi clan in the world is united, then even Emperor Jiajing can only retreat, as long as Emperor Jiajing retreats, then it means that Emperor Jiajing himself knows that it is impossible to fight against the Shi clan in the world with his own strength, and then the vassal power will be able to suppress the imperial power.
Once the imperial power is suppressed, as long as the scholars can hold it, then there may not be no chance to reshuffle the cards in this world!
Yang Yiqing understands Lu Wan, and he also knows Lu Wan's current purpose, and even he wants to change, but only when he sits in the position of the first assistant can he truly feel how powerless he is to face an emperor like Jiajing.
"Dean Lu understands what Ben Fu means, but what does Dean Lu think Ben Fu can do? Or does Dean Lu think that Bensuke can change the will of today? ”
Lu Wan said angrily: "How do you know if you can't if you don't try, Yang Yiqing, don't forget, you are now the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, if during your tenure as the first assistant, the Confucian Taoist system is damaged or even dies out, you are a Confucian sinner!"
"Confucian sinners......" Yang Yiqing smiled bitterly: "It's really a big hat, Ben Fu can't afford to wear this hat, and no one in the world can wear this hat, so Ben Fu wants to ask Dean Lu, if you are the first assistant, what should you do?"
"Naturally, we must fight on the basis of reason, even if it is a dead admonition, we must take back our fate today!"
Yang Yiqing shook his head and said, "What kind of character is it now, it's been seven or eight years, don't you know yet?" Confucianism does not want reform because it is too deeply involved and will easily cause turmoil in the world, but it has been said that the essence of Confucianism does not want reform is because reform will touch the vital interests of the majority of interest strata!
I believe that the people of the world, including our ministers, disagree with such a viewpoint, but in fact, the current viewpoint is not unreasonable, but the interest strata are unwilling to admit it.
But in fact? Today's every reform measure is involved in the whole body, the strength is not small, but the world is changing, it has indeed changed beyond recognition, and it has become a world that Confucianism is about to not know, but who can deny that today's reform measures will make the people rich, let the treasury be full, and make the Ming Dynasty strong!
And these have already proved with facts that His Majesty's reform is correct, and then opposing reform is naturally wrong.
As a Confucian minister, you can't blindly cater to the emperor, but you have to vigorously oppose what is obviously right, what kind of thinking is this?
Could it be that a poor and weak Ming is the Ming that our officials are willing to devote their lives to?
In Ben Fu's view, as long as it is right, the right one should be supported, and Confucianism itself should be changed according to the times, which is the foundation that can stand permanently in the court. ”
Seeing Yang Yiqing's gaze looking at him, Liang Chu said helplessly: "This official will be seventy next year, and now his health is getting worse, and he is no longer able to handle government affairs, so he already plans to ask His Majesty to resign and return to his hometown to live in the countryside......"
Yang Yiqing was speechless, so he looked at Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian smiled bitterly: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, we are all old ministers of Hongzhi and Zhengde Dynasty, and now Your Majesty still trusts and reuses, the official should have died with all his might, but the official is also nearly sixty years old, and there is little left in the career, I am really afraid that I will leave behind the infamy of the ages, Your Majesty is young and vigorous, determined to innovate, whether it is good or bad for the Ming Dynasty, a few years of time can not be seen through, and the official does not know if he has the life to see that day, now he is only willing to do his job well, and he is worthy of his heart."
and the ...... of the mud
Zhai Luan said with a smile: "In the cabinet, this official is the youngest...... The official is in charge of the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Water Resources, and now His Majesty is in the construction of the Guangpu project in the world, and the magnitude of his pen is simply appalling, to be honest, the official is almost unable to take care of the internal affairs, and he has already planned to resign from his position to His Majesty, and he really has no heart to care about other ......."
Making excuses......
"It seems that this official can't help but express his position......" Jin Gui said helplessly: "Although this official is in charge of the Supreme Court, he wants to punish the world's serious cases, but His Majesty has arranged a lot of right-hand men for the old minister, and the burden on his shoulders is much easier than that of Zhai Gelao, for this time His Majesty established an alliance, the official does not know whether it is right or wrong, but the official thinks that as long as Confucianism fights, the world is still controlled by Confucianism, if Confucianism does not fight, and finally leads to the damage of Taoism, it seems that he can't complain about others......"
This is the same as not saying......
Yang Yiqing sighed heavily.
