"Xu Jingchang, you are unparalleled in your calculations, and the old man is very impressed...... But the old man wants to ask you one thing, you are so deliberate to expand the power of the courtiers and increase the number of officials. What the hell are you planning? Which side are you on? ”

Yao Guangxiao pinched the chess pieces in his hand, but he didn't fall for a long time, "The old man asked himself, and he can be regarded as a wise person...... But over the years, I still can't guess what you're thinking. originally thought you were on His Majesty's side, but later I thought you were on the side of Huaixi Xungui, and then I found out that you were very close to Wenchen. Until recently, you had a nose-to-eye with the business people. I really can't figure out which side you are...... If you can't figure it out, you won't be able to help you. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "Young Master, do people have to be sure which side they are on?" Can't there be a flexible floor? ”

"Can't!"

Yao Guangxiao said with a straight face: "This matter is true and cannot be ambiguous, the old man does not want to be a sinner through the ages, he must ask clearly." ”

Xu Jingchang paused, looked at the "car" in front of him, and then said: "Young Master, if I say that I am standing in the position of Daming, do you believe it?" ”

"Faith!" Yao Guangxiao said very simply: "But you must explain the truth to me clearly, otherwise the old man will not believe it easily." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "The young master wants me to see my heart!" Actually, this is not complicated...... I want to ask the young master, why can't Emperor Jianwen take over Taizu's inheritance? ”

"This ...... He is confused himself, appointing rotten Confucianism, and bringing about his own destruction, you know better than Lao Wei. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Young Master, I might as well ask more clearly." Emperor Taizu ruled the world with strict punishment and strict laws, why can't Jianwen learn? ”

"Because he is not a Taizu, he does not have the prestige of a Taizu!" Yao Guangxiao said: "Offending Taizu is not the same thing as offending Emperor Jianwen. ”

Xu Jingchang gave him two thumbs up, "Young Master Gaojian, in fact, when the words are here, it will be clear, even if Emperor Jianwen does not change the old system of Taizu, he will not be able to govern the country like Taizu." In other words, it is not a problem with Emperor Taizu, but when it comes to Jianwen, it is a big problem. ”

Yao Guangxiao nodded, "Lao Wei seems to understand something...... Do you mean that today is like Emperor Taizu, he can rely on prestige to govern the world, and wait for the successor to succeed him, even if he wants to maintain it, it is very difficult? ”

Xu Jingchang nodded vigorously, "It's difficult to start a business, and it's even more difficult to keep a business!" If you just think about Your Majesty Shengrui and make drastic moves, you can certainly do a lot of things, but the more you do it, the more difficult it will be for the next successor. It doesn't matter who it is, it's all the same. Letting more courtiers share government affairs now may not shake His Majesty's prestige, but in the future, he will definitely be able to stabilize the future. ”

Yao Guangxiao breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person also fell into contemplation, he was already very old, and he was too old...... Although Zhu Di is still in his prime, Empress Xu is seriously ill this time, which also reminds everyone that maybe at some point, Emperor Yongle will not be able to bear it.

If Your Majesty gives up, how can such a big country be maintained?

Zhu Di is here, with these people now, it is not difficult to master the court situation. But Zhu Di is not here, can these Hanlin Shangshu continue Zhu Di's national policy?

Increase the number of Shangshu and redivide the power of the court in order to prepare for the future.

"The old man understands, the Dingguo Gong is really far-sighted, and the old man is ashamed." Yao Guangxiao looked at the chess game in front of him and said with a smile: "Lao Gao lost, this time the matter of reforming the official system, Lao Gao did it for you." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled on his face, "Young Master, it's not early, eat some vegetarian food here with me?" ”

Yao Guangxiao nodded, "Okay, just prepare twenty or thirty dishes, don't be too troublesome." ”

Xu Jingchang didn't object at all, and brought a jar of good wine.

The cellar of the Great Yuan Dynasty does not even have a palace, and it is really a jar of drink and a jar of less.

Yao Guangxiao didn't care about this, but pulled Xu Xianzhong over, reached out and grabbed the child's muscles and bones, Yao Guangxiao's hand was very strong, but the little Xu Xianzhong didn't feel pain, but smiled at him.

The old monk immediately rejoiced, "This kid is good, let's practice Buddhism with me!" ”

Xu Jingchang immediately glared at him, "Don't go too far!" ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled: "This is your confusion." Buddhism has vajra angry eyes, there are also bodhisattvas with low eyebrows, what the child wants to learn, the old man will teach, isn't it very good! ”

"Okay? I've heard that the most common thing in Buddhism is that nuns jump over the wall. If you hurt the child, I won't finish it for you! ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled: "Don't worry, I will teach me well, don't underestimate my ability...... Your Majesty was also taught by me. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Xu Jingchang snatched his son over.

"You old thief, I won't let you hurt my son."

Xu Jingchang picked up Xu Xianzhong and walked directly to the back.

handed over the child to his mother, "You can watch it, wait for the child's grandfather to come back." ”

Huang Guan is going to return to the court?

Madame was stunned, and her heart was happy, she really missed her father a little. And how could the husband be willing to give his son to his father? This doesn't make sense!

Mrs. Huang didn't react, but some people have already figured it out, this is to lay out the next generation.

As Xu Jingchang's son, the descendant of the Xu Mansion, the future of Xu Xianzhong's kid is simply limitless!

In fact, from the perspective of the elder son, Xu Huizu's branch is Xu Da's lineage, and he also inherited the title of Duke of Wei, which is an authentic sect.

But there are exceptions to everything, Xu Zengshou worked hard to earn the title of Duke of Dingguo.

Xu Jingchang not only carried forward the Dingguo Gong, but also brought it to an unprecedented level.

The head of the nobles, the head of the hundred officials!

At this time, whoever mentions Xu Mansion, mentions the King of Zhongshan, and the descendants of his descendants must be in the vein of Dingguo Gong.

And Xu Jingchang doesn't keep his hands sliding, he has a heart, and if he doesn't start with the next generation, there is no other way......

Xu Jingchang has realized that he must be strictly guarded and not let the bad guys outside succeed.

Yao Guangxiao was not in a hurry, he still went to preside over the Jiuqing discussion.

"Young Master, there is a proposal to add 23,000 marines here, which was originally determined by Dingguo Gong."

"There is an expense here for the expansion of the martial arts, which requires seven hundred and eighty thousand taels."

"The imperial court wants to reform the clan and set up a ninth-class title."

……

Several Shangshu continued to take out government affairs and report to Yao Guangxiao.

The old monk took it, browsed it one by one, looked at it for a while, suddenly rubbed his sore eyes, and sighed, "It's almost eighty people, even if you have the heart, you can't keep up with your spirit." Now there are so many government affairs, and the old man can't cope with it...... For example, in this Marine Corps, the Ministry of War said that it would select the children of good families and transfer them from the Northwest Frontier Army...... Are these people suitable? ”

Yao Guangxiao said that he was confused, but his thinking was still quick...... He had seen Xu Jingchang's plans for the Marine Corps. This is a very special force of soldiers and horses, because their range of operations is overseas. There is a problem here, do you really need to directly transfer the border army?

Do you need a child from a good family?

How do you think it's more convenient to add some overseas barbarians!

This is only a matter of military affairs, Yao Guangxiao is very experienced, as for several other government affairs, he is not very good.

Yao Guangxiao looked at these Hanlin Shangshu and sneered in his heart.

You guys are bullying the old man for his old age, and he doesn't have enough energy!

Sure enough, Xu Jingchang's kid is right, sometimes, if they don't count these things, they don't know how thick the sky is.

"The government is so complicated, the old man has not been able to catch it, and Dingguo Gong has asked for leave again, and it needs to be carefully considered."

Hearing Yao Guangxiao say this, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi and others were all awe-inspiring, is this to replace the political envoy?

Yao Guangxiao gave up, so he had to be selected from among the important ministers of Jiuqing.

Who can proclaim Ma and worship the prime minister?

All at once the crowd became eager.

Another five days passed, and Zhu Di was finally willing to preside over the government.

But in just a few days, Zhu Di's sideburns and gray hair have increased, and he can't hide it at all. The queen was seriously ill and did not recover, which hurt him very much.

"It's not that I don't know that state affairs are important, but the love of husband and wife has been with each other for decades, how can I leave it behind when I am idle? Now the national politics are complicated, and it is difficult to sort out a clue for a while. There is an urgent need for capable ministers and officials to share government affairs, and all the secretaries are the pillars of the DPRK and the central government. ”

Zhu Di looked around, except for Yao Guangxiao, the rest lowered their heads, not daring to answer easily.

"Young Master, what do you think?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, the old minister came out again, and after only a few days, he was exhausted and difficult to parry. The government is complicated, far from being comparable to that day. Now there are only two ways for the old ministers, one of which is to select virtuous ministers and succeed them as general political envoys, or arrange several important ministers to preside over the general affairs department together, so that they can come to Pingzhang government affairs. ”

Zhu Di groaned: "Isn't this the group appearance of the Tang and Song dynasties?" Is the young master going to turn the General Administration Department into a political hall? ”

Yao Guangxiao hurriedly said: "This old minister didn't think so much, if it is inconvenient to add a general political envoy, then only completely split the six departments, carefully split the government, each person is responsible for a part, and then the ministers discuss the government together, maybe the burden can be reduced." ”

Zhu Di was still frowning, not satisfied, "Young Master, restore the prime minister, this is what Emperor Taizu does not agree." And splitting the six parts is also something that has not been done since ancient times. I just said that I would increase the number of Shangshu and Shilang, and these two methods are not good! ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "This is true, but the lesser of two evils is the lesser of the two, and the government cannot be delayed." ”

Zhu Di thought about it, and still shook his head, "It's still not appropriate, I can't easily agree." ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, if you don't do this, I will order the important ministers to enter the court and discuss this matter together." ”

"Who are you talking about?"

"Naturally, it is the original official department Shangshu Jianyi, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Huang Guan, the household department Shangshu Xia Yuanji and others...... They are experienced and loyal, so they are the best people to discuss. ”

Zhu Di thought for a while, and then said: "Do what the young master wants, I still have to go to see the queen." ”

After speaking, Zhu Di turned around and left, leaving the stunned ministers.

How can you get these old things back?

If you know this, it is better to let Xu Jingchang sit firmly in the political secretary!

What a mistake now!
