Zheng Yuan can understand Zhao Cheng's arrangement, but the more he reaches this juncture, the more he can't act rashly.

Zheng Yuan looked at Zhao Cheng and Sima Yue and said in silence for a while, "Su Qi'an's impeachment, from the time he left Xizhou to the time he entered Beijing, the entire Kyoto was in an uproar, but didn't you find that our majesty, except for the anger at the beginning, did there any other actions in the back?" ”

"I think Your Majesty should wait for Su Qi'an to return to Beijing, and find a time to rectify it, during this time, there are too many twists and turns in the impeachment, and Your Majesty's anger towards Su Qi'an is likely to have been suppressed, after all, before the person arrives, he is angry, and it is useless."

It was Sima Yue who spoke, and his argument was not groundless.

They are all Chinese princes, who have been by Su Xuanyong's side for many years, and they still know Su Xuanyong's temperament to some extent.

According to the past practice, the treatment of the local marquis who is about to fall and the officials of the feudal territory are all sent out after returning to Beijing, along with the fire in their hearts and the evidence of the crime.

This time, there was not much problem with the misappropriation of Su Qi'an, at least for so long, they didn't see Su Xuanyong and showed mercy to Su Qi'an.

Zhao Cheng also added at this time, "The old man thinks that what Old Man Sima said is right, what Su Qi'an did in Jiao and Xi'er Prefecture, killing the state pastor, this is ironclad evidence." ”

"No matter how wrong the state pastor is, it won't be his turn to wait for a third to be qualified to do it, just with this, Su Qi'an will also have a lot of vitality."

"What's the matter if you add a fire at this time? I said, Jung Jae-hok, you're a little too cautious. ”

"I see, your position as a zaifu is not so easy, is it in the cabinet, you are balanced by that group of second-grade metrics? Being so hesitant about how to do things is not your style of doing things in the past. ”

Zhao Cheng's words were like poking Zheng Yuan's sore spot, he glared at Zhao Cheng, and said angrily, "The old man just kindly reminded you, don't be ignorant, as for the affairs of the cabinet, it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks, just rely on them, and they are also worthy of being the old man's opponents?" ”

"If you have self-confidence, then deal with Su Qi'an by yourself, it's nothing, the old man is leaving."

Zheng Yuan's sudden turn of face surprised the two, and the two reacted quickly, hurriedly comforted Zheng Yuan, and admitted their mistakes to him.

Under the appeasement of the two, Zheng Yuan, who turned around to leave, calmed down a little with the anger in his heart.

The more Zheng Yuan said this, the more Zhao Cheng could conclude in his heart that Zheng Yuan's position as the chief assistant was not so stable.

Who would have thought that Zaifu, who was originally the first person in the cabinet and had supreme rights, changed the rules before Chu Xiong became a minister.

In addition to promoting Sima Yue to the first rank of the court, the remaining more than ten second-rank princes who originally supervised the six ministries joined the cabinet under Chu Xiong's proposal.

The six ministries go straight to the heavens, and they are not under the supervision of the cabinet and the second grade of the public, and they can directly play Su Xuanyong.

It was this rule that not only put Zheng Yuan together, but also weakened the power in the hands of the Erpin Gong and strengthened Su Xuanyong's jurisdiction over the six departments.

Originally, the cabinet Zaifu was above 10,000 people under one person, and all the twists and turns of the six departments had to be handed over to the cabinet, and after being reviewed by Zaifu, they were transferred to Su Xuanyong.

But if the rules are changed in this way, although the officials of the six ministries will still be handed over to the cabinet.

However, the six ministries have the right to listen directly to heaven, and the opinions of the cabinet have weakened a lot.

But with the addition of Erpingong, this is nothing.

The entry of all the second princes into the cabinet is to really weaken the power in the hands of Zaifu and a kind of check and balance on Zaifu.

This kind of checks and balances seems to be of little significance, and in the end, the cabinet is still in charge of Zaisuke, but at a critical moment, once the Erpin Gong collectively turns back, even if Zheng Yuan, who is Zaifu, wants to promote one thing, it will be very difficult.

At first, it weakened the rights of the second rank of the six departments, and the second rank of the prince was somewhat unhappy.

can hear the collective entry into the cabinet, that kind of unpleasantness, disappeared in an instant.

According to the past government pattern of Da Liang, it is very difficult for the second rank to enter the cabinet, not that their status level is not enough.

Rather, the number of people in the cabinet is fixed, and only when someone is in office, one is vacant, and one is being filled.

Such a wait, to put it mildly, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the cabinet for the rest of my life.

But Chuxiong's collective entry into the cabinet gave them much hope.

Don't underestimate entering the cabinet, in terms of power, it really can't be compared with Zaifu, and they have self-knowledge of Zaifu.

But once he enters the cabinet, even if he is a so-called virtual cabinet elder who only has the right to execute and has no right to propose, whether it is status or identity, it is much higher than that of ordinary second-class officials.

This is not only good for the individual, but also for the respective families.

Therefore, compared with the supervision of the six departments, no one has the temptation to enter the cabinet because of the few rights that have been assigned.

Once they enter the cabinet, even if they are empty pavilion elders, in terms of identity, they are only half a level lower than Zaifu.

And after entering the cabinet, you can see all the big Liang, all the places to report, just this kind of right, is enough to make all the powerful people of the big Liang family come to the stammer.

As long as you cooperate properly, you can also balance Zheng Yuan in some things, this kind of coolness is much stronger than in the past, which can only look at Zheng Yuan's face.

This is to the bottom, to the top, Su Xuanyong also strengthened the right to directly control the six ministries, and he can also properly knock on several members of the cabinet, especially Zai Fu, who has a monopoly on power.

Therefore, Chu Xiong's proposal was passed almost without any hindrance.

In the hearts of Zhao Cheng and Sima Yue, they were fortunate more than once, fortunately they did not enter the cabinet, and when they were their first ranks, they just did what Su Xuanyong explained.

Others, especially cabinet disputes, have nothing to do with them, and in some respects, there are gains and losses.

Joining the cabinet and becoming a virtual cabinet elder has invisibly improved his status and the glory of his family.

But in the same way, he has to endure the disputes between the two sides of the cabinet, and he is tired enough to quarrel with some things in the court, and he is tired enough to worry about Zheng Yuan.

But they saw the form clearly, no matter how the cabinet strife, there is only one person in power in the future of Da Liang, whether it is the second prince or the fourth prince, it can only be handed over to God, and they only need to stand in line when they come that day.

After the anger in Zheng Yuan's heart calmed down a little, he said to the two with a cold face, "Maybe this is the old man's caution, but be cautious, it's not a bad thing, we all know Your Majesty's temperament, or wait for Your Majesty to summon Su Qi'an, and then he will be in court with him, this time, no matter how much it costs, it will also hurt his vitality." ”

"By the way, I heard that Feng Zheng came back with him, Feng Zheng is a celebrity next to His Majesty, you really have kung fu, you should send someone to inquire carefully, you can get some news from him, it is much better than the so-called rumors in Kyoto."

"Okay, let's stop for the next few days, the old man is all he says, and he will leave."

After saying this, Zheng Yuan turned around and left directly, and disappeared through the back door under the gaze of the two.

The two glanced at each other, had some answers in their hearts, slowly got up, and left the private room under the protection of their respective men.

At this time, the Hanlin Courtyard, Wenxuan's private courtyard, was full of bursts of laughter.

The line of sight was pulled in, and in the small courtyard, except for Su Qi'an, Xie Cang, and Wen Xuan.

and Su Qi'an, when he left Kyoto three years ago, he arranged the backhand, Sun Wen, Xu Tangtang, and Liu Meng.

These three people are the most important eyeliner arranged by Su Qi'an in Kyoto.

Although they have not played a role in Su Qi'an for three years, they cannot deny the existence of the three of them.

In the three years since they left Kyoto, Sun Wen and the three of them, with the secret support of Wen Xuan, have controlled nearly seventy percent of the territory of the ten major streets outside Kyoto.

Don't underestimate this achievement, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, under the noses of countless powerful princes, it is quite good to be able to expand the intelligence organization to seventy percent of the territory.

As for the area where the powerful princes of central Kyoto lived, as well as the inner imperial city, Su Qi'an was not counting on it.

In Kyoto, being able to control the inconspicuous outer ten streets already has enough self-protection ability.

When Su Qi'an went to the Hanlin Academy, Wen Xuan took the three of them to the Hanlin Academy in advance, which facilitated the meeting between the two parties.

The three of them looked at Su Qi'an, it was called an excitement, without the help of Su Qi'an and Wenxuan, let alone expanding the intelligence force by seventy, I am afraid it would be difficult to even gain a foothold.

Su Qi'an's return, the three of them were very happy, and they asked Su Qi'an to fight, hoping that they could help Su Qi'an.

After waiting for three years, just waiting for this day, Su Qi'an can understand the mood of the three of them.

Su Qi'an did not agree to the invitation of the three of them, not because the three of them were incapable.

On the contrary, being able to rely on the restaurant business externally and expand the intelligence organization by more than seventy percent has been of considerable help to Su Qi'an.

But Su Qi'an did not plan to use it, and the back hand that was originally arranged in Kyoto was a hole card that would only be used when it was a last resort, extremely dangerous, and wanted to save his life.

But three years have passed, and it is not only them who have become stronger, but also Su Qi'an, who has made a comeback.

In Su Qi'an's view, this trip to Kyoto is not the time to use them.

Su Qi'an said this, in addition to having his own confidence, what showed them more was quite strong confidence.

That kind of self-confidence makes people only convincing and unable to refute.

It is difficult for them to imagine how strong Su Qi'an will be in three years, and they can look forward to it.

"Qi An, for three years, the old man was quite worried about you, but now it seems that you are probably going to give us a big surprise."

Wen Xuan on the side seemed to know some obscure news, touched his gray beard, and looked at Su Qi'an with a smile.

Su Qi'an nodded and said softly, "Don't worry, teacher, just rely on these old guys who are only fighting in the court, if they want to get rid of me, it will be impossible in this life." ”

"This time, it's time for students to prove themselves."

Su Qi'an's voice was very soft, but it was full of a little domineering, this domineering was hard to imagine, it came from the mouth of a talented man, but it was like a military general who had been leading troops to fight for many years.

In this scene, Wen Xuan was not angry, but his face was full of relief.
