508 Governing the World (2-in-1)

When Yang Hongze said this, the civil and military officials present looked sideways, as if they were a little incredulous. Diaphragm

Everyone knows that he is the junior who was cultivated by Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and was elected to the cabinet, even if he didn't care about the affection of the teachers and students, the grace of knowing the encounter alone could not contradict such a major decision.

As a result, Yang Hongze chose to support Shen Yichen's reform of the clan, could it be that this son was born against the bones?

Not to mention the officials present, Hu Hu, who has always been moody, also looked sideways at Yang Hongze, with a complicated expression.

chose to support Yang Hongze to take the position, because he valued this son's background from a poor family and no foundation, and it was relatively easy to control in the future. In addition, Yang Hongze has an upright personality and belongs to a typical traditional physicist, who does not tolerate the slightest sand in his eyes, and is destined to stand on the opposite side of Shen Yichen, a "deviant" generation.

But after a long period of cultivation and contact, Hu Hu found that the advantages of Yang Hongze that he liked also became a disadvantage. If you stubbornly abide by the etiquette law, it will be difficult for him to do some dirty things in the officialdom, and the scholarly business is too angry, and the first consideration is not personal or group interests, but more morality in the heart.

Facts have proved that he really has no knowledge of people, and he mistook Shen Yichen for the first time, thinking that he was a sleek drill camper, but he was able to do it at a critical moment. I mislooked at Yang Hongze for the second time, I thought I could control it, but I found that it was empty in the end.

Compared with everyone's surprise, Shen Yichen and Yang Hongze looked at each other, but a surging smile appeared on the corner of their mouths. Diaphragm

In fact, as early as when he was in contact with the president of the examination, Shen Yichen had already noticed that the other party had his own bottom line, and this stubborn original intention transcended the division brought about by the camp, and Yang Hongze would insist on what he thought was right.

Whether you are more treacherous than a traitor like yourself, or stubborn and rigid like a corrupt Confucian, at least in terms of taking the world as your own responsibility, as long as you are a scholar, there is not much difference.

It is impossible for Yang Hongze not to see the benefits of suppressing the sect domain, which is why he voted to agree!

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu on the dragon chair, looking at the final result of the cabinet Da Jiuqing, the whole person seemed to be distracted. Theoretically, restricting the financial power of the clan was a matter of more advantages than disadvantages to the emperor.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't know why, he always felt that there were signs of great changes in some things, and Shen Yichen's reform of the clan was equivalent to planting a seed!

"Since the cabinet minister's court voted to pass, the household department Jin Qing will suspend the distribution of the clan's money, and first make up for the military merits of the soldiers and soldiers."

"As for how the follow-up clan will be reformed, it is still necessary to formulate a specific charter, I am a little lacking today, so let's retreat from the dynasty for the time being." Diaphragm

Asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot was Shen Yichen's original idea, so that the soldiers could get the military merit silver as soon as possible, even if the set goal was achieved. But this time is different from the past, Shen Yichen did not expect that more than half of the important ministers of the Cabinet Department supported his clan reform.

Then Shen Yichen can't give up, he has to sit on the ground and start the price!

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to compile the "Ordinance of the Clan", which will be fixed in the form of a law for the reform of the emperor's relatives and relatives."

Shangshu's "Treatise on the Evils of the Sect and Vassals" is only a suggestion that in order to reach the implementation level, it is necessary to form legal provisions, so that it can be regarded as a real reform. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of the pressure brought about by the expansion of the clan, the "Regulations of the Sect and Domain" were issued to restrict it, but it did not cure the symptoms.

The reason is that if you want to cut Zonglu's farmland, the premise is that you must at least give the clan a way to live, and the high-level princes and county kings are good to say, and the low-level clans really rely on Zonglu to live, and they must be given the power and freedom to make a living on their own.

Shen Yichen knew very well that if he was to write the "Regulations of the Clan" by another official, he would never dare to offend the emperor and delegate power to the clan, and only by doing this matter himself could he completely cure the drawbacks brought about by the entire clan system in the Ming Dynasty.

If the privileged class of the clan can be successfully solved, with such a model project existing, then Shen Yichen will take "himself" in the next step, after the expansion of the scholar class in the Ming Dynasty, it is also a cancer attached to the country! Diaphragm

"This matter still needs to be discussed, Shen Qing, you have to understand the truth of being too late."

Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu agreed to the vote of the Great Nine Ministers of the Cabinet, which meant that he, as the emperor, had made concessions and could deduct the clan's fortunes and implement certain admonition strategies in Shangshuzhong. But if you want to reform it in accordance with the "Theory of Disadvantages of the Sect and Domain", then it is equivalent to completely changing the ancestral system, and the Zhu clan relatives in the world are afraid that they will have to poke the emperor's backbone.

At this point, Shen Yichen doesn't want to make an inch.

"Your Majesty, since you have decided to reform, there are only two options: success or failure, and it is difficult to succeed in looking ahead!"

Faced with Shen Yichen's still unwilling to back down, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's chest rose and fell violently, and he stood up again and stared at the young face below with his eyes dead and said, "Shen Yichen, I know that you cherish your family and country, but have you ever considered my situation?" ”

"Don't push me!"

At this moment, the pressure of Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu has reached the limit, and in the eyes of the world, there is only one identity for him, and that is the emperor. can put aside this identity, Zhu Qiyu is a young man one year younger than Shen Yichen, and has not received any imperial education since he was a child. Diaphragm

He can do this step, in fact, it is not bad.

Shen Yichen looked at Zhu Qiyu's complicated eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, what he saw was not the emperor's heavenly might, but the grievances, pressure, hesitation, and even a hint of prayer from his peers.

"The ministers will write the "Ordinance of the Sect and Domain" on their own, and then submit it to His Majesty's Imperial Review."

At this point, Shen Yichen finally took a step back, and did not ask the emperor on the spot to agree to write the "Regulations of the Sect and Domain" in the form of a law. Only in his private capacity, he wrote it and then presented it to Zhu Qiyu Yulan, giving the other party room for revision and bargaining.

"Stand down."

Hundreds of thousands of taels of military silver, but now the trouble is out of control, thinking of the pressure from the clan vassal king in the future, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu felt exhausted for a while, and could only wave his hand weakly to signal the ministers to leave first.

When the ministers in the Wenhua Hall saw the emperor's appearance, they didn't dare to say more, and they all bowed their hands and said, "The ministers are leaving." "Ahh

Hundreds of officials stepped out of the Wenhua Hall in twos and threes, and everyone's faces were filled with a solemn look. The turmoil after the abolition of Yichu, the reaction of the prince and the vassal king, and even the emperor's physical condition are full of unpredictable consequences.

Jingshi's troubled waters did not become clear with the emperor's appearance, on the contrary, they became more and more turbid.

After Shen Yichen walked out of the hall, he stood on the corridor and looked at the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City, and he also looked preoccupied. However, at this time, Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, stood beside him, patted his shoulder with enthusiasm and said: "To the north, in the Liaodong battlefield back then, you always had a decisive posture of killing, and there was no weakness in the slightest. ”

"Why is it that now that the official is getting bigger and bigger, and his courage is getting smaller and smaller?"

In the face of Shi Heng's ridicule, Shen Yichen could only smile bitterly and shake his head, if only the officialdom could be as happy as the battlefield.

"Look at your worried appearance, otherwise I will go east and drink two cups, it has been almost two months since you returned to the court in victory, and we haven't drunk it yet."

After saying that, Shi Heng put his arm around Shen Yichen's shoulders and pulled him to walk outside the palace. Diaphragm

However, Shen Yichen was not in the mood to drink at the moment, and the success of "The Disadvantages of the Sect" to get military merit silver for the soldiers was only the first step in his reform back to the dynasty. In the period of power change after the abolition of easy storage, there are more things that need to be strategically arranged.

This world is not a family with one surname, and the people of the world can rule together, so as to break the fate of dynasty replacement, rejuvenation of the people's suffering, and death of the people's suffering!

"Next time, Zhongguo Gong, I want to have a good drink when I come to Japan, and there is a chance."

Shen Yichen politely refused.

"To the north, the matter after the abolition is a foregone conclusion, and it is not good for us to say much as a military general. There is a lot of suspense about what can be easily stored, don't you want to talk about it? ”

When Shi Heng said this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Empress Wang was kind-hearted, and took out her private money to collect the bones of the fallen soldiers and the people, and won the favor of many soldiers. But the identity of the military general is sensitive, just like Li Da and others returning to Beijing from Liaodong in chaos, Shen Yichen, as a civil official, has to avoid suspicion, and he does not go to pick up the dust for his childhood partner. Diaphragm

When it comes to the harem, the military generals can only use silent protests to show their attitude, which is why the Wenhua Palace is almost a civil official, but the military generals of Xun Qi stand next to them without saying a word.

Not speaking does not mean that there are no ideas in your heart, the next step after the abolition is easy storage, and everyone knows about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. But the problem is that at least in Shen Yichen's view, the matter of Yi Chu is the same as that of the abolition, and it belongs to an ending with no suspense.

As long as Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu reigns for one day, then the prince will inevitably be replaced by his son Zhu Jianji, and even the date of Yi Chu is close at hand. That Shi Heng said that he wanted to talk about suspense, and what did he want to express, he had something to say.

"Since the Duke of Zhongguo is warmly invited, it is better to obey the order of the cabinet than to be respectful."

"Haha, please."

Zhongguo Gong Shi Heng stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, talking to a smart person is easy and pleasant.

Just as Shen Yichen and Shi Heng were walking towards the outside of the palace, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, walked side by side, but Hu Hui's face was extremely pale, and it was obvious that he was not in a very happy mood. Diaphragm

"Otsuka Zai, what the hell is going on with the emperor's eldest son, do you know who is behind it?"

As a veteran of the Six Dynasties, Hu Hui's depth of connections is simply exaggerated, and it is not easy to hide things from him in the palace, especially the emperor's eldest son Zhu Jianji is seriously ill, and it has reached his ears early.

The civil official group followed the etiquette and law system, and was unwilling to let the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Jianji, ascend to the throne, and Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the backbone of the opponents. After all, Hu Hu's position is destined from the official title, and as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is impossible for him to take the lead in violating the primogeniture inheritance system, otherwise it will shake the foundation of power.

But opposition is opposition, and it is absolutely impossible for an old fox like Hu Hu to attack the eldest son of the emperor. But now that Zhu Jianji has an accident, the biggest suspect is himself, which is why in the matter of the abolition, even if the officials outside the palace are angry and opposed, Hu Hu and Wang Zhi and other high-ranking officials choose to settle the matter.

It was because Hu Hu had realized that the emperor had put suspicion on himself, and he didn't dare to continue to anger the emperor in the matter of the aftermath, so he complied with the compromise.

"What do you mean by this, Uncle Zong, how can I know about the emperor's eldest son?"

The official Shangshu Wang Zhi didn't look at weakness, and was reorganized by Wang Zhen for a long time, but being able to sit in the position of this heavenly official and sit firmly represents a kind of ability in itself. Diaphragm

He immediately heard the other party's voice, and hurriedly cleaned up the relationship, the severity of the crime against the prince is also enough to be copied and beheaded, and he must not be careless.

Seeing Wang Zhi's fierce reaction, Hu Hu also realized that his words contained ambiguity, so he hurriedly reassured: "Otsuka Zai misunderstood, how could this official say that it has something to do with you, it's just that the eldest son of the emperor is seriously ill, in case there is something long and short, Your Majesty will definitely be angry with us." ”

"Do you think anyone wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Hu Hu became more and more uneasy, he always felt that someone had woven a huge conspiracy, waiting for him and others to jump in.

But the problem is that he thinks about it and uses normal logic to calculate, and it is indeed himself and others who are the most suspicious. Who has the ability and the courage to murder the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Jianji?

"Who can profit from framing us, Chen Xun or Shen Yichen?"

According to the principle that whoever benefits the most will be the most suspicious, and the first target is naturally Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet. Diaphragm

Chen Xun originally lacked prestige and qualifications in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and relied on hugging the thigh of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, and now he is second only to Wang Zhi and Hu Hu in the ranking of civil officials, ranking third.

Obviously, if he wants to be a great minister and become a real "Yuanfu", then he must trample the two six Shangshu under his feet.

"Neither of them should be."

Hu Hu shook his head, Chen Xun seemed to be the most likely, but in fact, as long as he successfully completed Yi Chu, according to his current importance in the emperor's heart, he could almost get the title of a prince and become the closest teacher to the prince.

For the sake of temporary power, to take a huge risk and give up long-term interests, would Chen Xun be so stupid?

As for Shen Yichen, this son does have the ability and guts, but it is precisely because this son acted too boldly in the past, causing even the emperor to be full of jealousy of him, and using various checks and balances to cut off his way to support other princes, and he can only become a "lonely minister".

If Chen Xun does this kind of thing, it can be described as stupid, and Shen Yichen does it, it is simply an abnormal IQ, and Wang Zhi thinks too simply. Diaphragm

Just when the two important ministers were thinking about who was behind the scenes, an official who walked out of the Wenhua Hall looked at their backs with gloomy eyes. has been in a high position for too long, and the former minister of the auxiliary is now just a timid old man.

When the big change comes, it's up to you to see who can seize the opportunity better!
