"Today's meeting will be presided over by the servant for the time being." Yang Shiqi said the opening remarks, and then let everyone talk about government affairs...... Zhu Di has been accompanying Queen Xu and did not come over.

Xu Jingchang was also an elder in the family, and it was inconvenient for him to see things, so he didn't come over.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi also wanted to be filial in front of his mother, and almost overnight, all the characters who could call the shots in the court were out of business.

Six departments and nine qing, gathered here, Yang Rong and Yang Pu just said a few words, and there was no nonsense. There is no need to talk about things that can be handled in the ministry.

No one can call the shots, so it's better to keep your mouth shut and save some thought.

Therefore, today's regular meeting was extremely short, but just when everyone left, Zuodu Yushi Jinzhong caught up with Yang Shiqi.

"Yang Gong, what should I do with the current matter? This Ming Dynasty has a lot of problems, and it can't be delayed like this. The queen is seriously ill, and no one can preside over government affairs, which is not good! ”

Yang Shiqi paused, and sighed helplessly, "Please come here." ”

Zuodu Yushi is in charge of the Taiwan Commandment, holding the official in his hand, at this juncture, it is more appropriate than anyone else to charge into battle, Yang Shiqi saw that Jin Zhong intended to move closer to him, so he naturally would not refuse it.

It's just that this matter is too difficult to deal with, and Yang Shiqi doesn't have the slightest clue.

"That's the case, the current Empress and Empress Xiaoci Gao are generally the same, and Your Majesty is the same as Emperor Taizu, both of whom are deeply rooted in love and have one heart. As courtiers, we should not talk nonsense, not only to harm ourselves, but also to help. ”

Jin Zhong sighed and said, "I don't know, but there is a relationship here, I can't help but say it." ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Jin Gong, please speak." ”

Jin Zhong leaned forward and said in a low voice: "That's the case, the Duke of Dingguo has the status of both a noble and a relative, an official residence, and is in charge of the general political department, and he is in charge of the hundred officials, which is really inappropriate." As far as the court situation is concerned, this is a corruption of the ancestral system, and in terms of Dingguo Gong himself, it is also a violation of the rules, which is not good for the Ming Dynasty! ”

Yang Shiqi can also be regarded as an old fritter, which is not good for Daming, and can basically be translated as bad for hundreds of officials.

Xu Jingchang's situation is too special...... At the beginning, Zhu Di asked him to be a political envoy, firstly, because he had some knowledge, and secondly, because he was in the beginning of Jingjing, and there was no talent to trust.

In this way, Xu Jingchang climbed up.

The big guys think that he is just a gentleman, the second generation of Xungui, and he can't stay for a few days at all, so he doesn't take it seriously.

But over the years, Xu Jingchang has not only sat firmly on his buttocks, but the authority in his hands has become bigger and bigger, and he has formed a custom, in case Xu Jingchang continues to let Xungui be a political envoy, it will be a bad thing.

And Xu Jingchang is not very old, so he can sit down all the time, which is really not good news for the courtiers.

Noble, relatives, and very wicked, they are simply blessed and impeccable.

If you let go of the opportunity in front of you, it will be difficult to bring down Xu Jingchang again.

The big guy doesn't know what to do, he has to touch his head, but he has to do it.

"Yang Gong, now that someone is starting, it would be great if he could persuade His Majesty to change to a general envoy."

Yang Shiqi lowered his eyelids and thought in his heart...... It is indeed a rare opportunity, but the problem is that Xu Jingchang's methods are amazing, and Queen Xu is only sick and not dead. What Zhu Di is thinking about over there, he can't say.

If you make a mistake, you will be ruined!

Yang Shiqi thought about it again and again, shook his head and said: "Instigating the impeachment of the imperial history is not a good way, it will inevitably cause disputes and chaos, which is not done by the wise." ”

Jin Zhong also agreed with Yang Shiqi's judgment, "It's just that if you don't use this method, what else can you do?" I really can't think of a way, but I can't do nothing! ”

Yang Shiqi thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Can you do this, instigate the imperial history book, and ask the Duke of Rongguo to preside over the discussion." ”

Rong Guogong is Yao Guangxiao, although the old monk is old, his prestige and qualifications are all there.

It is natural to invite him out of the mountain, and at the same time, it is an indirect reminder to everyone that only arranging Xu Jingchang as a general envoy and letting him preside over the government has many drawbacks.

This trick is upright and impeccable.

Regardless of the outcome, at least you can be invincible.

Jin Zhong also had to admire, "Yang Gong is really the prime minister's talent!" ”

Hearing the four words of the prime minister's talent, Yang Shiqi couldn't help but feel shocked.

Since Xu Jingchang's general political envoy was promoted to a product, the Ming Dynasty has de facto restored the prime minister system.

The government secretary has the world.

Sitting in this position, who doesn't want to worship the prime minister and take charge of the court!

Yang Shiqi didn't say anything, Jin Zhong knew it in his heart, and hurried away.

The Ming Dynasty Hall, the wind and rain are miserable, and the undercurrent is surging.

Dingguo Mansion......

"How's my aunt doing?" Xu Jingchang asked his wife.

"It's not good, it's not bad. In short, he was still bedridden, looked tired, and his speech was slurred. After Mrs. said a few words, she looked at Xu Jingchang again, "Guogong, there are some things that I should not have said as a woman, but this is the case, the key is that Guogong must be stable!" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "What, do you think your man is going to fail?" ”

Mrs. Huang hurriedly shook her head, "Nonsense, the master is strategizing, who is your opponent?" I'm just thinking about it. ”

Xu Jingchang shook his head, "It's not nonsense, in fact, I can sit firmly in the position of political envoy, which really has something to do with my aunt." If my aunt is here, you don't have to worry about your majesty. With the three princes, I can also be at ease. But once my aunt can't deal with these things, I will inevitably be sandwiched between the courtiers and the Son of Heaven, the three princes, each with their own calculations, open swords and hidden arrows, one after another, thousands of difficulties, I, the general political envoy, are the most difficult. ”

When Mrs. Huang heard this, she couldn't help but change color and said, "Master, since this is the case, can you retreat bravely?" ”

Xu Jingchang laughed, "Retreat? If you quit, wouldn't you admit defeat! What's more, I don't rely on my aunt to control the situation! ”

Mrs. Huang was puzzled, she just said that she had something to do with Queen Xu, and now she said that she didn't rely on Queen Xu, what happened to her husband's brain?

You can't really be scary, right?

Xu Jingchang smiled on his face, he was naturally not confused...... Empress Xu is here, he can do things unscrupulously, Queen Xu has a mistake, he can control the court situation in a different way.

It's just a matter of adapting to change.

Mrs. Huang saw that Xu Jingchang was still full of confidence, so she smiled and said: "I'm worrying about it again in vain, don't be surprised by Guogong, just because I am ignorant and talk nonsense." I'll go cook a few side dishes for the master, and I'll go back and drink two cups. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It doesn't take too much, just get a pickle and roll tofu, I want to drink poor wine now." ”

Mrs. Huang smiled helplessly, she couldn't figure out what was going on with her husband now.

Is he really at ease, or is he pretending to be calm?

Just when Xu Jingchang was eating pickles and rolling tofu and drinking wine, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly came.

When he came, he grabbed his glass and drank it.

"This is my wine glass!"

Zhu Gaoxu said politely: "You take another one yourself." As he spoke, he poured himself another glass and drank it to his heart's content.

This made Xu Jingchang angry, "Zhu Gaoxu, don't go to heaven!" Bully me, you're still close to the market! ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "Okay, I've been dealing with me for so many years, it's you who bullied me, and I am self-aware." I'll just tell you one thing this time. ”

Xu Jingchang held back his anger, "You say." ”

"I'm not going to take the initiative to grab anything from the boss."

"That's passive grabbing?" Xu Jingchang snorted: "You still want to take the heir, right?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu did not answer directly, but said: "At present, the Ming merchants are prosperous, and more than half of the financial revenue depends on the merchants. I have a mine here, coal and steel, such a big family business...... No one can protect you! ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and hummed, "What do you want to say?" How forced are you? ”

"No, I mean...... Looking at the government and the opposition, only you can be the prime minister for me. There are not many people I can trust, and when the time comes, your authority will be far greater than it is today, and whatever you do, I will support you. ”

After saying this, Zhu Gaoxu poured himself another glass of wine, and after drinking it dry, he looked at the wine glass in his hand, "Or the official kiln of the Song Dynasty?" It's so much better than mine, just give it to me. ”

Zhu Gaoxu grabbed the wine glass and walked away.

This can make Xu Jingchang angry, this grandson, eats his own, drinks his own, and takes his own ...... If I support you, that's weird!

The anger dissipated, the mood calmed down, and Xu Jingchang was also clear that Zhu Gaoxu came over this time, not to coerce himself, if he was telling himself, he was coerced.

The huge merchant power behind him began to operate.

In fact, Xu Jingchang has always been very calm...... The wind and rain in the court, he really can't help him, even if he doesn't directly control the Jinyi Guard, he still has the secret files of the ministers in his hands, and he has too many means.

It's just that now the power of Shangjia wants to cut into the imperial court, and those important ministers in the imperial court want to replace them......

Such a game of chess is really difficult to play.

"Xu Jingchang, you have nothing to do and pretend to be dead, the old man can't recite the Buddha and chant sutras in the temple, you are really hateful."

Yao Guangxiao said and directly aimed the cannon at the middle lane, Xu Jingchang smiled on his face, and said with a smile while playing chess with the old monk: "Young Master Yao, don't complain about your old man, it's not that I have no way here, it's just that there is a lack of a suitable candidate, just help point it out." ”

Yao Guangxiao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You want Lao Wei to make a move." ”

"Yes, this matter is not suitable for anyone except you are old."

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a while, and then said, "What do you want to do?" Say it first. ”

"I want to ask the young master to write a book and summon Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and others back to Beijing."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Isn't this still driving the tiger and devouring the wolf? Don't forget, but you drove people out of the capital, even if they come back, what if they join forces to deal with you? ”

"So when they come back, they will completely split up the six divisions into twelve! Then no one will be able to shake the position of the political envoy. ”
