Chapter 478: The Sword Bearer

The emperor threw out two thunderbolts in a row, directly stunned the courtiers.

In particular, the emperor's proposal to reform the official system made the entire Fengtian Hall a boiling hot oil pot, so that Cai Ke, who was still standing in the hall, couldn't hear what His Majesty Dan's emperor said in the end.

There was still another rather old imperial historian who stood up and performed the salute meticulously......

"Please also ask Your Majesty to think twice, the talent and character of the Marquis of Yongfeng, the old minister has no doubt. However, the Marquis of Yongfeng is only fourteen years old, and whether it is taxes, weapons workshops, or the affairs of the sea market, they are all very important. ”

Jia Cong is not very familiar with this old imperial history, only knows that this person's name is Qiao Jin, who was only transferred from Yunnan to the capital in the autumn of this year.

I saw Qiao Jin arch his hand at Jia Cong, and continued: "The old minister thinks that the Son of Heaven should not give too much power to the ministers according to his personal preferences. Before the king of the Han Dynasty usurped power, he was also the loyal ...... of the Han court."

Hiss~

Cai Ke thought that he was bold enough to dare to give Jia Cong eye medicine in front of the Jia family.

can be compared with this, it is simply a small thing.

Wang Mang has come out, is the next sentence to say that the Jia family is too powerful, and the emperor should cut its power to prevent the courtiers from sitting big.

When Qiao Jin was talking, the noise in the hall caused by the reform of the official system had long since disappeared, and everyone's eyes were constantly wandering on the emperor and the Jia family.

The emperor has long been trained to be happy and angry, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and other Jia family members are angry, some are frowning solemnly, only Jia Cong doesn't care, but stares at Qiao Jin who is talking about Wang Mang and Cao Cao in surprise.

"Your Majesty trusts the Marquis of Yongfeng, and the Marquis of Yongfeng is also worthy of Your Majesty's trust. But the old minister thought that if His Majesty wanted the good story of the monarch and the minister to be passed down through the ages, he should not give Yongfeng Marquis too much power. The concentration of power in one body is more likely to arouse people's selfish desires. ”

Qiao Jin said in the end, turned his gaze to Jia Cong again, and arched his hand: "Does Yongfeng Hou think what Xia Guan said is right?" ”

Slap, slap, slap......

Jia Cong not only did not look angry and angry, but nodded with a smile while clapping his hands.

"Qiao Yushi is so right, really, Ben Hou thinks so too."

Ga?

Cai Ke, who caused all this, felt as if his brain was gone, and he couldn't understand what was going on in the Fengtian Hall at this time.

Jia Cong walked out of the queue and walked to the old Yushi standing in the hall, and "accidentally" stepped on Cai Ke who was blocking his way.

When many people were worried that Jia Cong would be mad, Jia Cong walked up to Qiao Jin and bowed down.

"I have heard for a long time that Qiao Yushi is selfless, daring to speak and admonish, and today I saw that it really deserved its reputation. Ben Hou felt that what Qiao Yushi said was too right, if the courtiers held great power but no one supervised and restricted, it was easy to breed unspeakable desires, so ......"

In Qiao Jin's surprised eyes, Jia Cong turned around and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please play, transfer Shi Qiao Jin as the deputy adjutant of the minister." With such an upright and upright old man who dares to speak out and dare to admonish, the minister is not worried that he will not be able to control his desires. ”

"Marquis Yongfeng, you ...... Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention......"

Before Qiao Jin finished speaking, the emperor waved his hand to stop what he was talking about.

I saw that the emperor actually smiled and nodded: "Qiao Qing's character is indeed an excellent candidate." That being the case, Joe listened to the ......"

Qiao Jin was still in a state of confusion, and Jia Cong reminded in a low voice: "Boss, Your Majesty asked you to listen to your will." ”

This is the Fengtian Palace, and Qiao Jin still understands that at this time, he can only kneel down first to receive the order.

After Qiao Jin knelt down, the emperor made an order.

"It is urgent to reform the official system, but the government cannot be delayed. Yongfeng Marquis Jia Cong opened the government and built a government office, acting for many government affairs such as the financial endowment of the national dynasty, weapon research and development, warship construction and the city ship, etc., and this matter does not need to be discussed. However, Qiao's advice is also a serious remark of the old man, so he ...... Jin Qiao is the Imperial History of the Left Governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and assists Yongfeng Marquis Jia Cong to act as an official official! ”

The emperor threw out the third winter thunder of today's court meeting, and did not give the ministers a chance to respond at all, and ran away directly from His Majesty Dan, leaving the palace full of bewildered courtiers and the big eunuch Xia Shouzhong who was stunned on the side.

Emperor, wait for the old slave!

Xia Shouzhong felt that everyone in the hall was about to explode, and immediately shook off the dust.

"Retreat!"

Jia Cong picked up the old Yushi Qiao Jin, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said happily: "Gong Qiao, in the future, we will both be people who stir spoons in the pot, let's go, go to the Hou Mansion with Ben Hou, and let's discuss the establishment of the Hou Mansion." ”

The emperor slipped away, and Jia Cong dragged Qiao Jin and ran away, leaving a group of courtiers to look at each other in confusion.

What just happened?

It seems like...... Seemingly......

We've been played by the emperor again!

"Your Majesty is like this again, the old man hasn't raised any objections yet!"

"Reform of the official system is such a big matter, Your Majesty hastened to give this matter without a court discussion, in case of a mistake, the society will be in danger!"

"I also felt the same way below, just now I was about to play the line, but I was interrupted by others. Originally, I thought that I would wait for Cai Langzhong to finish talking about Yongfeng Hou before admonishing him...... Hey? Wait, Yongfeng Hou...... Hey, there are different opinions on the matter of Yongfeng Hou, but it's just ......"

Many people in the imperial history circle suddenly realized a very serious problem, it seems that these two things thrown by the emperor today should not have passed the court so easily.

What are you kidding, a fourteen-year-old young man has financial and military power in his hands, and he also has the power to manufacture and allocate ordnance that should be only available to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, as well as the power to implement the law of the New Deal.

The reform of the official system is shocking enough, seeing that a small court is about to appear in Great Xia, how can the imperial historians not fry the pot?

But why are they all inexplicably silent today?

Everyone was a little confused, and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with them today.

"The ability and character of the Marquis of Yongfeng are not doubted, but giving such a courtier so much power is not in line with the ancestral system. Moreover, since His Majesty has relieved the Marquis of Yongfeng from the post of Squire of the Ministry of War and the Squire of the Ministry of Industry, and ordered him to open a government office, it shows that His Majesty intends to let the Marquis of Yongfeng return to the rank of military generals, why did he give him so much power that only civil officials such as us have? ”

"This ...... There is indeed this sign, and the British Duke also has the right to open the government and build a government, but his old man has never touched the power of the civil minister. Yongfeng Hou, this should be the case! ”

The imperial historians gathered around and chattered about their opinions.

At this time, I saw the cabinet scholar Xia Lingxing, and walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

"You're still naΓ―ve!"

Xia Lingxing said faintly: "Your Majesty has indeed relieved Jia Cong of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and even the Ministry of Household that has just been sealed today. But there is an official position that has never been dismissed...... Think about it, what does the waiter of the Ministry of Rites represent! ”

……

"Marquis Yongfeng, the lower officials don't understand!"

Until Qiao Jin sat in the main hall of the Yongfeng Marquis Mansion, he had not recovered from the ebb and flow of the tide on the Fengtian Palace.

Today's events are magical!

He was born in a county, and it took him 30 years to rise from the nine-rank adjutant of a county to the seven-rank county order, and he was recommended to the capital by the Qianguo Mansion to serve as the seven-rank imperial history.

The small duty room is not familiar with it, but because of a big court meeting, the emperor was promoted several levels, and it has become the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the fourth grade by leaps and bounds.

That's not all, what he couldn't figure out the most was that he was obviously standing on the opposite side of Jia Cong, and the one who handed him the Qingyun Ladder turned out to be the party Jia Cong.

Jia Cong was busy flipping through a draft of official documents from the large box that his soldiers had just moved, and he was still muttering about the system, personnel, and so on.

"Hah! Got it! ”

Jia Cong threw the remaining pile back into the box and raised the scroll of papers in his hand.

He spread it out on the table, and said to Qiao Jin: "Gong Qiao, come and take a look, see if Benhou's idea is perfect enough?" ”

I didn't think about it, but I didn't understand it, Qiao Jin's attitude towards official affairs can really be called a rigorous and important thing.

He went to the desk and looked at the roll of paper, and was immediately attracted by its contents.

"The Development and Reform Commission of the Great Xia Dynasty...... Scientific Research Department, Planning Department, Operation Department, Finance Department, Laws and Regulations Department, Supervision Department, Economic and Trade Department, Agriculture Department, Personnel Department, ......"

The paper on the table is large, and it is outlined in different colors to create a large-scale yamen system.

Qiao Jin can naturally understand what the five words of development and reform mean.

This should be the new yamen that the Marquis of Yongfeng wants to establish, but according to the establishment of this new yamen, the six departments and five temples in the center may not necessarily have a perfect system on paper.

Yongfeng Hou's ambition is not small!

Qiao Jin pointed to one of the places he didn't quite understand, and asked suspiciously, "Junhou, what is this scientific research department for?" ”

"This, Ben Hou was in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Yiying Workshop before, Qiao Gong should know, right? This research department is a new institution that will be established on the basis of those workshops. The Department of Scientific Research will undertake the research and development of the latest technology of the dynasty, and Ben Hou intends to invest a huge amount of money to let the craftsmen of the dynasty continue to innovate and develop more powerful weapons, more advanced agricultural tools, and even spaceships that can send people to the sky~"

Jia Cong is very confident in his own ideas, and those masters in the Ministry of Industry are really outrageously strong. He had made a few scribbled sketches before, and the group of Frankenstein had come up with a wooden-handled grenade and a Bactrian version of the "Katyusha" rocket launcher......

He felt that if he could draw an airplane, they would be able to fly into the sky with a biplane in hand.

Qiao Jin was not very proficient in this, but thinking of the constantly updated firearms of the Ministry of Industry, as well as the huge warships docked at the harbor when he passed through Quanzhou before, he could roughly guess Jia Cong's thoughts.

Yongfeng Hou is indeed the most tech-savvy person in Great Xia, and no one can deny this.

However, this map of the establishment of the yamen is a little too scary.

This is a small court, financial power, military power, legal power, and personnel power are all covered, and the emperor doesn't really plan to let the Marquis of Yongfeng cross the civil and military forces and cultivate a powerful minister.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jin's old mistake was made again.

He frowned and asked bluntly, "Junhou, the lower officials still can't figure it out." His Majesty gave the prince and the marquis to open a mansion and build a government, according to the British public practice, the prince should take over the Great Xia Forbidden Army in the future and become the first general. But according to the idea of the prince, there are many settings in this, which encompass most of the power of the six departments and five temples......"

Well?

This time it's Jia Cong's turn to be confused, when will he be the first military general in Great Xia?

"Wait, Gong Qiao...... Let Ben Hou ...... slowly"

Jia Cong pondered for a moment, and finally figured out why Qiao Jin had such doubts.

It was all the pot thrown by the emperor and put on his head.

In fact, the emperor did not intend to let Jia Cong be the first military general from the beginning, and his future Jia Cong should be the sword-wielding talent of Great Xia.

Just like Wei Qing and the old man, who took over the cabinet in the crisis, he held the golden mace of the king, assisted the emperor, supervised the ministers, and let the chariot of the dynasty continue to move forward steadily.

Otherwise, why did the emperor almost wipe out all the official positions on his body, leaving only the official title of the squire of the Ministry of Rites?

Other official positions are just icing on the cake, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is the foreshadowing that the emperor had laid early.

The Ministry of Rites - the Ministry of Rites - the Cabinet Scholar - the Cabinet First Assistant, this is the most orthodox way to promote the dynasty.

Jia Cong didn't explain to Qiao Jin in detail, but he still revealed a little mystery.

"Ben Hou is indeed a martial artist, but he is not a candidate for the next British duke. That person may be my second brother, or some calf from the Zhenguo Mansion, but it will definitely not be me. ”

Jia Cong grinned, pointed to the big orange cat on his official robe and said, "Look at this, Your Majesty has always said that Benhou is the royal cat of Great Xia, specially used to catch mice." So far, Ben Hou has only the six rates of the East Palace and part of the military power of Yu Linlang, and there is not even a single idle errand on the side of the Governor's Mansion. On the contrary, he has always served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and Qiao Gong pondered carefully why it was. ”

After Jia Cong's reminder, Qiao Jin suddenly realized.

This time he was even more shocked, because compared to the first person of the general, this news was even more shocking.

"Your Majesty, this is to cultivate the prince into another Wei Wenzhenggong!"

……

The stove in the Emperor's Palace was burning very strongly, and the old man of the Emperor Taishang sat leisurely on the recliner next to the stove, and the good grandson Liu Shuo peeled oranges and chatted with the emperor.

"Wait, you haven't escaped today, and you can't hide from tomorrow. When the people in the court come to their senses, you just hide in the Qinzheng Palace, and they will drown you with a song. ”

The emperor snatched his son's freshly peeled oranges, spread them on another recliner, and replied indifferently: "It's okay, my son has already asked Hong'er to go to the Qinzheng Palace to approve the folds, and the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital said that my son has been overworked recently, and he should rest and rest." No matter how fierce the noise is outside, the wind can't blow your ......."

Liu Shuo's eyes widened, Father, are you really good at cheating your son like this?

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he felt sorry for his good grandson, and then glanced at his son.

"Forget it, you're the emperor, do whatever you want. But Jia Cong, have you really thought it through? Is it really going to be handed over to him? I'm not saying that Jia Cong is bad, it's just that his age is there, too young, no longer observe? ”

That's all for tonight, continue tomorrow, good night!
