Since the establishment of the Cabinet, it has not been united.

At the beginning, the first assistant Ren Hengtai and Xie Jin, Gao Yangzhi, and the master and apprentice were in a state of opposition.

Ren Hengtai, as the first assistant, has always adhered to his philosophy of governing the country that belongs to science, and is in a state of equilibrium with the mind led by Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi, and the two sides will have different views on many things.

In addition, there are also people from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion headed by Xu Yungong who entered the cabinet, and forcibly divided the cabinet into two factions: civil and military.

Although there is a tacit understanding in Wenyuan Pavilion, that is, the division of civil and military rule, this does not mean that Ren Hengtai cannot interfere in the affairs of the beak military. Similarly, if Seo Yungong and others were willing, they would also begin to express their views and take a stand on civil affairs.

Today's meeting, which is about the emperor being seriously ill and the possibility of turmoil in the imperial political situation, is a normal thing to have contradictions and points of controversy.

Since Zhai Shan, the secretary of the ministry, entered the cabinet, he has consciously attached himself to Ren Hengtai, and in the sequence of civil cabinet ministers, he has balanced the two masters and apprentices with the first assistant.

At today's meeting, he hoped to take the opportunity to reduce the authority of the local feudal lord a little more.

Although he only said that the vassal king was not allowed to leave the vassal kingdom without permission, the guards of the royal palace were not allowed to go out without orders.

However, as long as such a decree is issued, it will soon gradually evolve into the fact that the clan vassal kings will no longer have the right to meddle in local affairs, and the command of the royal guards will be taken away by the local commanders.

This seems to be a very beneficial thing for the Grand Governor's Office.

But Xu Yungong and the others did not speak.

Because they knew that no matter whether this matter was beneficial to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion or not, the imperial court would be able to directly intervene in the affairs of the guards of the royal palaces in the future.

Gao Yangzhi, as always, has strict requirements for the administration of officials.

The matter was transferred to the local magistrates.

Especially in front of Zhai Shan, the secretary of the ministry, he said so.

It's almost like a face-to-face attack.

Zhai Shan's face tightened, and his gaze moved from Gao Yangzhi's face to the face of the first assistant Ren Hengtai.

Although he is in charge of the affairs of the ministry, Gao Yangzhi is in charge of the affairs of the three law divisions, and the position of entering the cabinet is still before him.

Seeing that Shoufu didn't speak, Zhai Shan looked at Gao Yangzhi again, whose face seemed to be about to punish the local officials one by one: "Now that the New Year is approaching, and Your Majesty's Holy Communion is ill, even if there is any situation in the local area, we should wait until the new year to discuss it." At present, as a cabinet, we still have to focus on stabilizing the situation and society. ”

Since they don't want the other party to do things, then no one should do things.

Gao Yangzhi snorted, but a smile appeared on his face: "Then stabilize the situation." At the moment, there is nothing to do in Beijing, and there are still King Qin and Zou Xueyu doing things outside, and no one dares to make waves at this time. ”

After finishing speaking, Gao Yangzhi's eyes swept faintly over Zhai Shan's face, whose expression changed slightly.

They don't do anything in the Cabinet.

But there are still people out there doing things.

Previously, His Royal Highness the King of Qin had killed the entire 17 mansions of Zhili Dao, and Zou Xueyu, the minister of the Governor of Zhili, followed closely and hurriedly asked the cabinet to fill the vacancy of Zhili Dao officials.

Zhai Shan is a secretary of the ministry, and it is true.

However, among the officials in the selection of the officials, they are young talents who have learned from their hearts.

The Ministry of Officials selects and transfers officials to the vacant official positions in Zhili Province.

The list did not appear in front of his cabinet minister and official Shangshu Zhai Shan for the first time, but appeared in Gao Yangzhi's hand!

Zhai Shan seems to have been hit in the lifeline.

His face changed dramatically in an instant.

His eyes widened, and he tried to speak several times, but he held back and didn't make a sound.

Xu Yungong, Mu Ying, and Li Jinglong watched Gao Yangzhi and Zhai Shan pinching each other, and they all remained silent, but their eyes kept flowing.

The internal strife among the civil officials is naturally a good thing for those of them who are in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

At least in many ways, most of their governorships will not be subjected to unified suppression from civilian officials.

Mu Ying even spoke softly at this time: "Shoufu knows that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is preparing to restructure the military households of the various health offices in Nanzhili in the near future, and cooperate with the Governor of Zhili's Yamen to reform the 18 mansions of Zhili Road. ”

Mu Ying has now been promoted to the Duke of Qian.

This was originally a position that had been prepared for him at the beginning of the founding of the country, but he had not been promoted to the title for various reasons in the past few years.

As soon as Mu Ying's words came out, Zhai Shan's eyes trembled.

Even Ren Hengtai, the first assistant who had been sitting on the chair and not moving, moved his eyelids slightly, and his eyes looked at Mu Ying lightly.

Mu Ying just smiled slightly, and said: "The Taisun said that the military household system will do more harm than good in the future, and the Military Aircraft Staff Department of the Dadu Governor's Mansion has deduced many times in conjunction with the Wutang, and has come to the same conclusion as the Taisun.

The time has come when the military household system has to be changed.

At present, the military household reform of the guard station is implemented before the 18th prefecture of Zhili Road, and the metropolitan governor's office will re-recruit and select suitable young people to join the army, which is far better than the inheritance of military households. ”

This is something that has already been in the cabinet for a long time.

With the founding of the Ming Dynasty, 30 years have passed.

People can already see that the military household system formulated at the beginning of the country has begun to no longer adapt to the current system.

At the beginning, the establishment of the military household system was more to ensure that all the people in the world could perform their duties.

But over the years, the imperial court has also begun to discover that the old son of a military household may be a good soldier, but the son of a military household is not necessarily suitable for being a soldier.

The son of a military household who has no power to tie the chicken, and has no strength to even farm, can become a soldier of the Ming army wearing armor and a knife?

The answer is obvious.

But Mu Ying brought up this matter again at this time, obviously not just to change the drawbacks that the military household system may bring in the future.

He was purely trying to make the court move, to destroy the plan that Zhai Shan was trying to create, and everyone should not do anything.

And the deeper is that once the military household system of Zhili Dao is changed, then the various departments and yamen of the imperial court will inevitably be involved.

Does the Ministry of Households want to redefine the tax burden of these military households? Is it necessary to allocate land to these people who have left the military households?

Is the Ministry of Industry also going to re-plan the villages and build water conservancy for these people?

Not to mention the ministry.

At present, it is necessary to solve the big proposition of whether the imperial power can go to the countryside.

The 18th Mansion of Nanzhili is a good test field.

The Ministry of Officials will inevitably set up an official organization in the shortest possible time for these people who have withdrawn from the military household system.

And as long as the various departments, yamen, and localities are mobilized, problems will inevitably be exposed.

With these problems exist.

Gao Yangzhi's statement at the beginning that it is necessary to strictly govern local governments and officials can naturally be implemented.

"You ......"

Zhai Shan was a little angry in his heart, and spoke in a deep voice, holding the armrest tightly with both hands, but finally endured it.

Ren Hengtai's hand on the table turned over, and his finger joints gently tapped the table twice.

His gaze swept over everyone present.

"The reason why the 18 prefectures on both sides of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River set up the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili and the jurisdiction of Zou Xueyu, the minister of the Governor of Zhili, is that His Majesty is in order to use the 18 Governors of Zhili as a test field.

At present, the imperial court has frequently issued various new policies, and there must always be a pioneer.

How to do things, no matter what the final result is, will be the foundation and model of this vision of the world.

But......

Zou Xueyu and the Governor of Zhili have members of the Yamen, and they are also officials of this dynasty, and they have done a good job, that is, merit, the officials have to test the merit, and the cabinet will naturally ask for merit.

But if the errand is broken, then you must also learn a lesson, and you must confess your sins and be punished.

We are in charge of the Cabinet because of this. ”

Whether it is Zhai Shan or Gao Yangzhi, or Mu Ying.

After Ren Hengtai's words, they all shut up.

Shoufu's meaning is obvious, he will not agree with Zhai Shan's plan to make all parties stop and not do things, but he will not tolerate the people below who are doing things on errands to make trouble.

Ren Hengtai, as always, chose to neutralize and keep upright.

Just after these words.

Ren Hengtai picked up the teacup, took a sip of herbal tea, and spit out a white smoke.

He continued: "At present, Your Majesty is sick with the Holy Sacrament, and I think that I will ignore state affairs for a long time in the future. It's just that the crown prince has been in charge of the country for many years, and there is no need to change the country's government affairs. However, since the cabinet is the head of the Heavenly Family, it must not only balance all parties and sort out the government, but also take precautions.

There are some things that I can't talk about later. Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you won't do it.

Before His Majesty has no will, no one is allowed to move in the Jingshi and the Seventeen Dao. There is a ministerial decree, which must be passed through the cabinet before it can be implemented.

The soldiers and horses of the guards in various places, the Metropolitan Governor's Office must be controlled, there is no cabinet to issue a document, and the Metropolitan Governor's Office approves the military order, and no one is allowed to mobilize a soldier or a pawn!

The kings of the cabinet are only allowed to send congratulatory gifts for the coming year, and if they want to face the saints, they must be invited in advance as usual, and they can only come to Beijing for approval.

The cabinet approved the local provincial government and county officials at the third level, although the year is over, but the officials must not slack off, the north should beware of winter and snow disasters, and the south must dredge ditches. The new decree of the court must not be prevaricated.

Once there is a division to play the situation, the three law divisions should be severely punished! ”

Since things have to be done, then everything must be done, and everyone must be alerted.

Ren Hengtai's gaze swept over every cabinet member present.

There were no objections.

Ren Hengtai smiled at this time and looked at Xie Jin: "Since your colleagues have never objected, I will bother Xie Ge to personally sort it out, and write the various ministries and departments and provincial governments as soon as possible." ”

Xie Jin turned his head to look at Ren Hengtai, who was sitting in the main seat of the cabinet, and nodded with a smile.

"If you deserve this, how can you be bothered."

Right now.

Outside the cabinet room, there was the sound of footsteps.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Li Jinglong frowned and looked at the door and shouted.

It is the great eunuch Sun Gou'er next to His Majesty.

The chief manager of the twenty-four yamen of the inner palace.

Sun Gou'er pushed the door in, and behind him, the ground outside the class room was covered with snow. He walked to the ground, leaving a deep footprint.

The chief manager of the Inner Palace left in a hurry.

Sun Gou'er was dressed in a red velvet trim, and only after entering the house did he push his hat behind his back, clasped his hands together, and looked at Ren Hengtai.

This is the nearest chamberlain to the emperor.

Even if Ren Hengtai was the first assistant of the cabinet, he also stood up with everyone in the class room at this time.

"I don't know if Eunuch Sun suddenly came to visit, did His Majesty tell me?"

Sun Gou'er arched his hand towards Ren Hengtai, and nodded at everyone present.

Then, he said in a deep voice: "The prince speaks, and the cabinet is obedient." ”

Ren Hengtai raised his eyebrows.

It was not His Majesty's message, but the Prince's message!

This is very abnormal.

After only a brief moment of stunnedness, Ren Hengtai had already left his seat and reached the middle.

He led a few people to stand in front of Sun Gou'er, clenching his fists and bowing.

"The prince said, from today onwards, he will revoke the power of the imperial grandson to supervise the country, go out of the palace and live in the palace at night, and he will not be allowed to enter the palace without an order, and he will be punished to Xicheng to supervise the reconstruction."

In the cabinet, there was a deathly silence.

However, no one felt that this moment was quiet, but felt that there were stormy waves and thunder in the sky.

Taisun was deprived of the power of the prison state, and was also sent out of the court and moved back to Taisun's mansion to live.

It's even more about doing something to rebuild the West City.

At this moment, including Ren Hengtai, all he thought about was whether the grandson was going to be suppressed by the prince.

This shouldn't be!

Everyone questioned in their hearts.

For a while, all kinds of speculations came to mind.

Ren Hengtai hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Sun Gou'er, who was about to leave.

With panic on his face, he asked in a low voice, "Dare to ask the eunuch, what's wrong?" ”

Xie Jin, Zhai Shan, Xu Yungong and others also surrounded them.

All of them put on a look, as long as you don't tell the truth today, don't think about leaving.

Sun Gou'er hesitated for a long time, glanced at the snowfall outside, and then said in a low voice: "Our family doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but you are all ministers of the cabinet, and our family can only violate the rules and say a word." ”

"This matter involves His Majesty's Zen ......"

Sun Gou'er's words were like a piece of snow, blown away by a gust of wind.

The man had disappeared into the cabinet room, but the people present did not move a single step.

The cold wind blew in from outside, but no one moved.

I don't know how long it took.

Mu Ying moved first, and then her body was a little weak and she stepped back again and again, pushed it to the chair, and slowly sat down with both hands on the chair.

"What the hell is going on!"

Ren Hengtai let out a low roar, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone around him.

No one can give Shousuke an accurate answer.

Outside the class room, the snow kept falling and the wind kept blowing.

It's early afternoon.

The news that the crown prince wants to depose the crown prince has spread throughout Yingtian City.

In this snowy weather, the news can't stop spreading.

When people were outside the Xi'an Gate, they saw the carriage belonging to the imperial grandson, slowly driving out under the escort of a team of brocade guards, crossing the Xuanjin Bridge in front of the Xi'an Gate, and driving into the Taisun Mansion.

Everyone felt that the information they had received was absolutely true.

In an instant, the entire Yingtian City shook.

With this news, the emperor was seriously ill, and the royal family had the intention of Zen to give way.

At this moment, everyone seemed to understand something.

Could it be that the crown prince felt that the emperor was seriously ill and might not be on vacation, and was ready to let the emperor let him concede, but then the prince did not agree, so the father and son had a conflict?
