Chapter 14 Revision of the Imperial Assembly System
Yan Keng's appointment as the first assistant of the cabinet has somewhat set off a wave in the court.
However, with the support of Sanyang and the Empress Dowager, although some people raised some objections, they were quickly suppressed.
The Orthodox Dynasty, under such circumstances, officially kicked off.
As for Yan Ling, he naturally witnessed Zhu Qizhen's ascension to the throne as always.
At this time, Zhu Qizhen's body was extremely rich in purple qi, and it was even flashing with red light.
The luck of this young son of heaven is at the time of prosperity.
And the red light on his son is even more vigorous, which indicates that he will also reach his peak.
Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the position of the head of this foreign court is stable.
A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
With two generations of auxiliary countries, the political status of the Yan family will be more stable.
At this moment, the system heard again:
"[My Testimony]"
"[The five dragons have fallen, the orthodoxy has ascended the throne, the temperature has dropped, where will the Ming Dynasty go? I've been here, I've testified, I've changed! 】”
"[Reward: Charm Card]"
"[After using it, ten people will be randomly selected to increase their favorability towards you, and there is a considerable chance that they will want to marry your sister.] 】”
The one in front is not bad, and if you take it out at a critical moment, you can change the situation, but that sister, what's the use of this TM?
Yan Ling looked embarrassed.
Should it be said that it is worthy of being the god of war of the Ming Dynasty?
But the sound of the system also reminded him.
The temperature is dropping, and the Xiaoice period is coming.
Throughout history, almost every prosperous era has been when the climate is warmer.
For example, the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty until the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the entire Tang Dynasty has actually been shrouded in a warm period, and compared with the temperature anomaly, they are almost "+1.2 °C, 1.3 °C", which is greater than the average value.
From the Xia Shang to the Jin Dynasty, from the Sui and Tang dynasties to the early Northern Song Dynasty, those were the warmest periods in Chinese history.
The Ming Dynasty was very unlucky, almost after the Jingkang shame, the temperature in China has been below the average, since the founding of the country, the Ming Dynasty has been "-1.2 °C, 1.3 °C".
When Hongwu arrived in Renxuan, it was actually a relatively high temperature, which had risen compared to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was almost the time when Xuande died, and the temperature in China began to drop again.
It was not until Jiajing officially entered the Xiaoice River in the twenty-ninth year that the temperature fell off a cliff and was impartial, that is, around 1644, reaching the lowest value that had never been reached since the Xia Shang.
Then, almost at the same time as the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the temperature began to rise.
He fell into deep thought, after all, in the era of Xiaoice, they will also be affected, he is more or less the leader of a party, but he can't let his people go hungry.
But in fact, in the face of such natural disasters, manpower is extremely weak, and it is difficult to subvert the will of heaven.
But it's not completely impossible.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes may be the strategy to break the game.
The Xiaoice River period actually lasted until the 35th year of Qianlong. Although the temperature began to rise almost after the Jiashen National Disaster, and during the reign of Yongzheng, it had exceeded the maximum temperature of the Ming Dynasty (the last year of Xuande), but in the end, the temperature was not much higher.
Isn't this still a sweet potato boom?
The origin of sweet potatoes seems to be America...... Looks like we're going to have to figure it out.
He thought about the future countermeasures, and by the time he came to his senses, the ceremony was over, and everyone was leaving one after another.
Another emperor has lived.
……
Regardless of Yan Ling's initial preparations, the imperial court at this time naturally did not know the crisis they were going to face in the near future, and only started a new life under the new power structure.
Above the court, everything is running smoothly and in an orderly manner.
The handling of government affairs and the all-out distribution of government affairs have also gradually become stable.
The hundred officials sent various affairs to the cabinet, and Yan Keng led the rest of the cabinet members to jointly vote to formulate relevant handling methods and hand them over to the emperor, and ordered the eunuchs to use the seal.
And the little emperor's daily work is not only to go to the court, but to follow Yan Keng to learn.
It's just that Yan Keng is a little guilty, he has to deal with government affairs and take care of the little emperor's studies at the same time.
It stands to reason that in fact, now as an important minister of the imperial court, there is no need for him to do it so personally, he can completely entrust the task of teaching the emperor to those few attendants to be responsible.
But Yan Keng wants to accompany Xiao Zhu Qizhen to what he thinks, just like Zhang Juzheng in later generations, they want to let the little emperor grow up according to his own ideas, hoping that he can become a generation of holy lords.
This requires oneself to teach.
……
In this way, Zhu Qizhen began his own pro-government.
But within two days, Yan Keng discovered the problem.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was to go to the early court and discuss affairs with the courtiers.
However, in the first year of orthodoxy, Zhu Qizhen was only nine years old.
What kind of government do you expect the nine-year-old doll to handle?
When I went to court for the first time, due to poor consideration, there was such a situation:
After the palace people announced the court, the ministers stood in the team and looked at each other, even if there was really something important, but looking at the little doll sitting on the throne, they really couldn't take it out.
With such a small child, no one thought he could handle these big things.
After staring like this for a few minutes, someone finally stood up and tried to do something.
Sure enough, Zhu Qizhen on the throne was full of confusion, and he couldn't understand what this official was saying at all.
He subconsciously turned his gaze for help to Yan Keng, who stood at the top of the courtiers.
Seeing this, Yan Keng had no choice but to stand up and say:
"Your Majesty is sick today, retreat from the court first, and postpone all affairs."
finally ended this embarrassing court meeting.
When the Empress Dowager Zhang heard about this, she summoned Yan Keng to the inner court to discuss.
"Do you want Chen Guogong to handle the government affairs for me and preside over the early dynasty?"
The young Zhu Qizhen stood aside and said weakly in a childish voice, in his heart, the teacher who taught him was naturally very trustworthy.
However, after Zhang and Yan Keng heard this, they said in unison:
"No way!"
Since ancient times, it has always been the emperor who presided over the early dynasty, which is also a symbol of power, the courtiers play affairs to the emperor who is high, and the emperor listens to the opinions of the ministers and makes the final decision, showing the supremacy of the emperor.
Let a courtier preside over the early dynasty, what is this?
Even Yan Keng himself would not agree, the gun shot the first bird, if he really did this, I am afraid that he would not be criticized by the ministers, he has not yet reached the point of leaning towards the government and the opposition.
The two quickly left the extremely immature idea of the teenager Zhu Qizhen behind.
Yan Keng thought about it for a while, but came up with a way.
