Faced with the enthusiasm of the two Shangshu, Xu Jingchang was indifferent, "Xia Shangshu, Ru Yu and you are also your own people!" ”

Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, "Yes, but not when he makes a fatal mistake." ”

This one is really sincere, Xu Jingchang snorted: "You guys are abandoning it!" ”

Jian Yi coughed slightly: "He is very different from us. ”

Xu Jingchang wanted to smile more and more, "I'm more different from you, even Wenwu Shutu." I'm not stupid, can I still understand? You are watching His Majesty's palace beat Ru Yu and beat your head to the ground, and you are scared in your hearts, and you want to find someone to stand up to the front and shelter you from the wind and rain. However, this thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, even if the heavenly thunder crushes you, it is also the emperor's grace, and I will not mix it. ”

Xu Jingchang stood up directly, "Jian Shangshu, if you really treat me as your own, give my evaluation a low grade, let me go home and inherit the title, this court is not interesting, I waved my hand, let the two officials fall together, it's really boring." It's not as comfortable as going home to fish. ”

If Yao Guangxiao was here, he would definitely know what tricks Xu Jingchang was playing, but these two were still inexperienced after all, and Xia Yuanji was still persuading: "Xu Tongzheng, we have no bad intentions, and you don't want those Hanlin ministers in the cabinet to do whatever they want, right?" ”

Xu Jingchang laughed, "Xia Shangshu, you are also smart and confused for a while. The cabinet is in charge of official documents, and around the Son of Heaven, that is the prime minister of fact. It doesn't matter what their grade is, as long as they can influence His Majesty's thoughts and implement government affairs on behalf of the Son of Heaven, they are the center of the Ming Dynasty. Both of you can only be in charge of one part, people can dominate the overall situation, sooner or later, you will all fail, so don't bother, it's best to surrender, ask for shelter, and be a cabinet lackey eagle dog, which is the best fate for the six Shangshu. ”

After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he swaggered, walked outside, and directly threw the two Shangshu behind him.

Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi's faces darkened with anger, this rabbit cub is really underbeaten, if it weren't for your father's and your aunt's face, we would have to impeach you for being arrogant!

It's just that after being angry, Xia Yuanji said worriedly: "Brother, although this kid's words are not good, but the truth is true, Yang Rong, Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Yang Shiqi, these people are around the Son of Heaven, and they don't leave for a moment, discussing government affairs and commenting on government affairs, they are indeed more like prime ministers than us." ”

Jian Yi's face darkened, and his thoughts were deeper, "Now these people are only five-grade bachelors, just for consultation, the results of their discussions, and we still need the six books to nod, these people are still far from the prime minister." ”

Xia Yuanji said with a bitter face: "It's very far, but Xu Jingchang is right, they can participate in the overall situation, and they can say two words about any government affairs, in the final analysis, we are only responsible for the affairs of the department, and in terms of the scope of intervention, it is a big difference." You and I can still resist and fight with reason. But several other Shangshu and Shilang will inevitably be pretended by these people and seize their authority, and over time, there will be endless troubles. ”

Jian Yi sulked his head, frowned, and meditated, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Zhongshu Province, leaving a huge power vacuum, when he was alive, he could still rely on his super strong spiritual head to fill the vacancy, but at this moment it is necessary to return to normal.

In fact, don't think that officials can't do it, if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't abolish Zhongshu Province, and there are auxiliary ministers at the level of prime ministers, at least Zhu Yunwen can make fewer mistakes, and Zhu Di's appeasement will not be so easy.

In the final analysis, it was Zhu Yunwen and his gang, who had no experience in ruling the country, but suddenly took charge of the imperial court, and as a result, a good card was played hard, and Zhu Di was pushed onto the dragon chair.

This may not be Sir Humphrey, but he is much better than the likes of the golden retriever lettuce.

"Now the six ministries and nine secretaries, the entire court, can resist the cabinet, there is only one general envoy left." Jian Yi said in a deep voice: "Emperor Taizu has a saying, government affairs are like water, so they need to be communicated often. That's why the general envoy was set up. What if we put the ministers of the Cabinet under the name of the Minister? ”

Xia Yuanji's heart moved slightly, "If this happens, the General Administration Secretary will really become the prime minister, and it will not be our blessing." What's more, Xu Jingchang, this kid is even more able to toss than those ministers, I'm afraid something big will happen. ”

Jian Yi waved his hand, "You can't look at it like that, Xu Jingchang still told the truth, he has a title in his family, he is in charge of the General Administration, that is, for a while, it is not difficult to depose him, and it is impossible for the follow-up courtiers to learn from him." On the contrary, there are not 100 but 80 ministers in the Hanlin Academy, and there are still so many well-educated people in the world staring at them, and the triennial imperial examination, sooner or later, will turn the cabinet into a real prime minister. ”

The two of them chatted back and forth, and they could be regarded as unifying their views, Xu Jingchang was just a small problem, and the cabinet was a big problem.

Xia Yuanji said: "At the last imperial meeting, we had already opposed the supervision of the General Administration Department to supervise the hundred officials, and now it has changed suddenly, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" ”

Jian Yi thought for a while, "In this way, I will write a letter to advise that the six ministries and nine secretaries will go to the General Administration Department every ten years to discuss government affairs, discuss things, and coordinate major affairs, led by the Ministry of Officials, and presided over by the General Administration Department." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yuanji was immediately overjoyed, high!

The six departments are alone, and they don't take advantage of the cabinet, but the six departments get together and can communicate with each other, so they are not afraid of the cabinet.

And nominally placed in the Department of General Administration, it can be regarded as giving Xu Jingchang a little sweetness, but in fact, it is the presiding officer of the ministry.

Through this meeting, the position of the six ministries will be consolidated, and they will be able to better implement government affairs, give an account to His Majesty, and be able to seek both the country and their lives.

The power of righteousness can be seen.

"Brother to the book, I will also follow, at this moment Your Majesty is still hesitating, I don't know who to be responsible for the government affairs, as long as we persuade carefully, it may not be successful."

The two reached an agreement, and the entire civil service system was fully operational.

In addition to the war-damaged Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, the other four ministries, plus the Inspectorate, Dali Temple, and Honglu Temple, all had the purpose of actively making suggestions and suggestions, and persuaded Zhu Di not to make the cabinet, the existing yamen of the various ministries is enough, as long as the big guys discuss it in the General Administration, it will be fine.

Their actions soon alarmed some other people, that is, the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian, the Zhan Shifu, and the Liuke Corridor...... That's right, these yamen are traditional Qingshui yamen, with low grade, little power, and hard life.

There is no way out of promotion yet.

Zhu Di selected personnel from among the ministers, entered the cabinet, and assisted the emperor of heaven.

Without a doubt, it is the best path to promotion for them.

Don't let the six parts succeed.

Don't look at the low grade of these people, but they are better in numbers.

For example, Hu Yan, the review of the Hanlin Academy, directly pointed out that if the proposal of the Ministry of Officials is followed, it is equivalent to turning the General Administration Department into a political affairs hall, and the six Shangshu are the Tongping Zhangshi of the Two Song Dynasty, relying on the method of the Shunhui to form a de facto group system.

It is tantamount to violating the ancestral system, and it must not be agreed.

His book immediately attracted countless echoes.

Xu Jingchang is in the General Administration Department every day, happily watching the quarrels, a bunch of support for Jian Yi, a bunch of support for Hu Yan, the two sides come and go, it is simply wonderful.

"It's good to quarrel, and the more noisy it is, the more fun it is. Give them all to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty worry. ”

Xu Jingchang crossed Erlang's legs, as if he was the first musician in the court.

If you don't fight, where will I come from to watch?

"I was ...... Wollongong ...... Loose people ......"

He also hummed along.

Just when Xu Jingchang was happy, Yao Guangxiao came.

Xu Jingchang was not surprised, "Does the master want to eat vegetarian again?" I'm in a good mood, I don't need you to do anything, I'm in for a treat. ”

Yao Guangxiao nodded, this time he made eighteen dishes and set up a full table.

"Xu Tongzheng, you don't have to do anything with Lao Gao, Lao Gao wants to tell you a good thing."

"What's good?" Xu Jingchang was puzzled.

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "That's the case, His Royal Highness sent a note in Beiping, remembering my uncle, and asking Your Majesty to give you grace and let you inherit the title of Marquis of Wuyang." ”

Raided?

Xu Jingchang was stunned, he had an official position!

Is it time to go home?

Yao Guangxiao held a piece of ribs and said with a smile: "Your Majesty not only agreed, but also gave you the title of crown prince, and the political envoy is still the same." ”

Xu Jingchang was even more surprised, there is such a good thing?

"By the way, Your Majesty also agrees to the Sixth Ministries and Nine Qing Meeting, and the one with the highest grade will preside over the Tenth Meeting."

Xu Jingchang was dumbfounded, and muttered after a while: "Those Shangshu are all second-grade, right?" ”

"That's right, only you are from Yipin." The old monk said with a smile.
