Chapter 148: The Dispute between Civil and Military Affairs

After Fang Xiaoru gained a firm foothold, he almost did not have the name of the prime minister, but he had the reality of the prime minister.

Especially at this time, the crown prince died. Zhu Yuanzhang was in a coma, but the state apparatus still had to operate. And the secretary and the cabinet are the core of the country's operation, who is most familiar with here, Fang Xiaoru.

Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde. has long been excluded from daily government affairs by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang has been doing the division of civil and military affairs. Unless there is a military issue, and only when Zhu Yuanzhang consults, the nobles have the right to speak.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when there was still Zhongshu Province, Xu Da was the prime minister. It's not that Xu Da doesn't have the talent to govern the country. After all, leading troops to fight a war itself requires management skills. It's just that Xu Da hasn't participated in government affairs for many years. It's been rusty for a long time.

Between the urgency and urgency, the best way is to let Fang Xiaoru temporarily preside over government affairs.

He Xi has a lot of thoughts in his heart. But I have to admit that Xu Da's idea is the most appropriate.

He Xi said: "Uncle will arrange it." ”

Xu Da said: "Well, I heard that you have a friendship with Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the palace is blocked inside and outside, so I will ask you." ”

Xu Da also gave He Xi a big sweet date.

With Xu Da's arrangement.

Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Fang Xiaoru entered the palace one after another. Of course, He Xi also saw Mao Xiang and others, and temporarily put the power of guarding the palace in his hands. Of course, Mao Xiang and others also understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was only unconscious, not dead.

Even if you want to choose a new owner, this is not the time.

At this moment, He Xiding is in front. They don't have to be held accountable.

It's just that with the entry of these three people into the palace, things have changed differently.

The problem is not with Feng Sheng and Fu Youde.

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, although they are veterans and have a lot of influence, the problem is that Xu Da is better than them in this field and they don't know much. Xu Da is here, and they can't say what they are thinking. can only accompany Xu Da here, and be a town object with peace of mind.

Fang Xiaoru is different.

Fang Xiaoru was originally a first-class smart person in the world, and he has been in the center for many years, and he has been carefully cultivated by Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince. Now it has long surpassed Fang Xiaoru in history. Now there's another opportunity.

Fang Xiaoru was determined to be unwilling to be just a foil for the lords.

After everyone arrived, Xu Da talked about his plan, which was very simple. Xu Da wants to block the news, everything is as usual in Ouchi, and it is not too late to release the news after Zhu Yuanzhang wakes up.

Of course, Xu Da also knows very well that even if he blocks the news, it is impossible for the palace to be leaky.

Others don't say it, all the princes have their own eyeliner in the palace, and even their mothers and concubines are in the palace, and a lot of news is inseparable.

However, what Xu Da blocked was not the news of these people, but not letting the public know, for fear of causing panic. In short, Xu Da's thoughts can be summed up in one sentence, maintain the status quo and be cautious.

Fang Xiaoru is not completely against this, but he also wants to fight for his own interests. Fang Xiaoru said: "Wei Guogong is indeed the words of the old Cheng to seek the country. It's just that all the sons of His Majesty are in Beijing, His Majesty is seriously ill, and he does not let his heirs come to see him, and the lower officials are afraid that the world will suspect us and isolate them from inside and outside, and there are regulations for major affairs in the court. Although the lower officials are acting as the secretary and superintendent, everything is decided by the superiors, and in the past two months, the world has been unfortunate, and the loss of letters has followed, and a lot of government affairs have been delayed. Now, the subordinate officials are ordered to maintain it, and the subordinate officials dare not do it even if they die. ”

Fang Xiaoru's words made Feng Sheng nod again and again. Feng Sheng said: "What Lord Fang said is reasonable, I am waiting for a martial artist, I don't think so thoughtfully, I don't know, what does Lord Fang think to do?" ”

Feng Sheng agreed because he wanted to talk to King Zhou.

After all, before Feng Sheng entered the palace, he didn't know what he was doing. And once you enter the palace, it is difficult to contact the outside world freely. Not to mention King Zhou's consultation.

For these people, Zhu Yuanzhang's coma is an opportunity. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is like a mountain, entrenched on these people's heads, for a long time. Now Zhu Yuanzhang is in a coma. Feng Sheng's suppressed heart also became excited.

He wanted to discuss a thing or two with the king of Zhou. See what King Zhou really thinks, and then fight for the best result for King Zhou.

There's never been a better time to do it.

Therefore, he supported Fang Xiaoru's idea.

Xu Da looked at Fang Xiaoru and pondered for a moment, then said, "What is Lord Fang's idea?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "Let the kings outside, it is better to gather the kings in the Qianqing Palace, one can be the way of kissing, and the other can also prevent accidents. ”

He Xi naturally heard Fang Xiaoru's intentions and the interests that Fang Xiaoru wanted to fight.

First of all, as soon as the princes came in, He Xi's power to control the palace ban naturally ceased to exist. Of course, Fang Xiaoru didn't want anything to happen. It's just that if Fang Xiaoru can't hold this power, where will this power be.

The power of the palace ban will probably be relatively neutral and will not favor any prince, but the power in the palace can be fought for.

When the queen was there, even if the queen didn't take care of things, the power in the palace was still in the hands of the queen. But now the queen is gone. Because Princess Anqing served by Zhu Yuanzhang's side, the power of the eunuchs and palace maids in the Qianqing Palace was in the hands of Princess Anqing.

Is this in order?

In fact, it is not in accordance with the rules.

It's just that the rules of the court are not so strict now, at least not to the point of the ancestral family law.

But the prince and grandson are here, so should the crown princess come? In terms of identity, the crown princess is the most noble woman in the entire Ming Dynasty, even if Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines are also under the crown princess, after all, even if these concubines are elders, they are actually concubines.

Before this, who was the person in charge of general affairs around Zhu Yuanzhang? It doesn't matter. But now it's very important.

The battle for succession has begun. Any little bit of power can make or break it.

So every penny of power has to be fought for.

Of course, these powers are just scratching the surface compared to the powers that Fang Xiaoru wants.

Fang Xiaoru wanted to formally introduce the cabinet scholars into the inner circle of the Ming Dynasty's power.

This is based on reality, and it is also based on Fang Xiaoru's expectations all along.

He Xi actually has the title of Cabinet Scholar. He Xi has been in the cabinet, but why didn't he add more ink to the cabinet, because the current cabinet is just a consulting and auxiliary agency, which is not important, and in terms of power, it is not even as good as the secretary and supervisor. The real power is in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince's father and son. 33

The six ministries of the cabinet are all puppets of Zhu Yuanzhang, and they can only carry out Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, and they have no decision-making power at all. And without decision-making power, he is not a figure in the inner circle at all.

But now it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the other party's filial piety.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always implemented the civil and military division system, from the local to the center, the civil ministers and the nobles have been separated. So much so that Xu Da is not good at interfering in the affairs of the court now.

A system of separation between civil and military forces has been formed. It's just that civil officials have always been suppressed by the imperial power. Now that the imperial power to suppress them is temporarily vacant, Fang Xiaoru wants to let the civil official system form the power to respond to the lords in the most core circle.

He Xi also had to admit that Fang Xiaoru seized the opportunity very accurately.

As long as there is a precedent, it is equivalent to opening a breakthrough, and it can be eaten away step by step in the future.

He Xi also has to admit one thing, that is, the civilian power has actually been growing.

After all, five generations and ten countries, and the military were in power, which brought extremely profound lessons to this land. If Zhu Yuanzhang wants the world to be peaceful, he must govern the government with civil officials, use force in troubled times, and use literature to govern the world. Zhu Yuanzhang limited the power of the Wuxun clique, and the power of the civilian clique was naturally growing.

It's just that before, the growth of the power of the civilian clique was hidden under the imperial power and went unnoticed.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang fell ill, and this gap made He Xi notice this. And now Xu Da and others are still alive. Fang Xiaoru couldn't ignore it anymore. What will happen in the future? There was a wry smile in He Xi's heart, feeling that Fang Xiaoru, the enemy, was cultivated by He Xi himself.

Some people died, but not completely......
