Chapter 12: Losing the Sacred Heart
The news of this era is lagging behind, and although the national policy of opening the sea and lifting the ban has been issued, it will take at least half a year or even longer to expand the city from the people of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to the expansion of the city.
However, the migration of people also takes a lot of time and cannot afford to be wasted.
"They must speed up their involution!" Li Qing groaned, "What did your father promise the cabinet before?" ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "The official positions such as the general political envoy, the general political envoy, the Dali Siqing, and the Taichang Siqing. ”
"Increase!" Li Qing said categorically, "Go directly to the waiters and let them pinch them more fiercely." ”
"Huh? This...... Wouldn't it be too big? Zhu Zhanji hesitated, "My father has just ascended the throne, and it is easy for the situation to be unstable if he makes such a big battle!" ”
Li Qing shook his head: "Your worries are completely superfluous, as long as the interests of the army are not affected, the internal strife of the Wenchen will not affect the overall situation at all, and the military generals will want the Wenchen to fight in the nest.
As for Wenchen...... There's nothing to worry about, the more fierce they fight, the more beneficial it is for your father to manage, if they don't fight, and they hold a group to go against your father, then the situation will be unstable. ”
"Makes sense." Zhu Zhanji nodded, "A proper party and government is indeed helpful to the emperor's rule, but ...... If the party and government are too aggressive, it will affect the governance of the country. ”
Zhu Zhanji has been cultivated as an heir since he was a child, and he is quite good at the emperor's mental art.
"So be fast, be intense." Li Qing added.
"So how does it end?" Zhu Zhanji asked.
Li Qing smiled, "It's simple, it's still the old way, compromise!" ”
"Hmm... Yes. After thinking for a while, Zhu Zhanji nodded happily, "By the way, Uncle Qing, do you want to end this time?" ”
"It's definitely going to be down, it's just ...... I don't like to take the initiative. ”
……
Afternoon.
Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other scholars and waiters came to Li Qing's mansion.
The circle is so big, where there is some wind and grass, almost immediately spread to everyone, it is difficult to hide from people's eyes.
Yesterday, the cabinet came to the Yongqing Marquis Mansion, and today it is in the court to harden the six departments, and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been down, which is hard not to make people think too much.
Front yard guest house.
A group of bigwigs gathered here.
This time, the righteousness that has always been with the mud has changed the style of the past, not only taking the initiative to take the lead, but also getting straight to the point and being extremely active.
"Li Shangshu, we are both Shangshu, we are all colleagues, and this official will not go around in circles." Jian Yi's red and swollen cheeks did not disappear, and he looked a little funny, "The official just asked, where are you?" ”
Hearing this, all the bigwigs looked at Li Qing with burning eyes.
Li Qing took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "The food of the monarch is worried about the monarch, and the official is naturally on the emperor's side." ”
"......" is used to the righteousness and the mud, and he is a little unaccustomed to being hurt by others and the mud.
I'm risking the collapse of the character this time, be concise, and point out the theme, can't you have a good time...... Jian Yi suppressed his anger, "Then the official asked another question, the six ministries and the cabinet, who did Li Shangshu choose?" ”
Li Qing smiled and continued to make peace with the mud: "Naturally, whoever is with the emperor is the same heart, and the official chooses who!" ”
Jian Yi was really convinced, and he realized the pain of being surrounded by people and mud.
Xia Yuanji took over and said solemnly: "Li Shangshu, you must know that all the performances of the hundred officials must go through them, and they also have the right to comment and suggest, the weight of the cabinet is already super large, once it is made bigger, the six departments may be useless, and even become vassals;
Taizu was far-sighted, and in order to prevent the prime minister's dictatorship, he abolished the prime minister system that had been followed for thousands of years;
Taizong set up the cabinet, just to let them share the worries of the monarch, therefore, set an iron law, the cabinet ministers can only be five-grade officials, can not be changed, this is the ancestral system, but now? ”
Xia Yuanji was heartbroken: "Not long after the first emperor died, they began to be restless, the emperor was deceived by slander, and he was about to make a big mistake, at this time, how can you and I sit idly by?" ”
"Not bad!" Jian Yi echoed: "The cabinet is just the secretary of the imperial study, they can do their part well, how can they be allowed to interfere in national affairs?"
Can they? ”
Jian Yi took out the heavenly official as a faction: "Li Shangshu, you weigh the benefits and disadvantages of this;
Also, don't forget, you are also the secretary of the Ministry of War! ”
"Of course I know that." Li Qing nodded, frowned and pondered for a moment, "Actually, this matter is not difficult to do, don't look at the cabinet making a fierce fuss, in fact, they are using the Sacred Heart, and they themselves are not very capable." ”
Jian Yi shook his head: "Li Shangshu's words are wrong, and now even the Metropolitan Procuratorate has come out to help them, which shows that the cabinet cannot be underestimated, we are fine, but the people below us are different;
The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, they have heard of things, and the invisible power is extremely powerful, no one dares to guarantee that the people below will not be threatened by it, once they turn against the water, we are all squires and scholars, but we will become light poles! ”
"That's true, but it's not entirely true." Li Qing retorted: "The reason why the Metropolitan Procuratorate ended up was not to help the cabinet, but to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to rise." ”
Jian Yi was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly: "Even so, they have the same goal now, and it is still very tricky;
Li Shangshu, you are the most capable of suppressing the cabinet, you can't sit idly by and watch this matter, we are both prosperous and lossy! ”
"Yes, Li Shangshu, the overall situation is current, let's advance and retreat together!" The crowd chimed in.
Li Qing looked embarrassed, "This... Li is old, and his body is not as good as day by day, but I am afraid that he is weak......"
Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and the others exchanged glances, all of them looked helpless, and they understood the subtext.
Get the money!
They all know Li Qing's virtues, they are ready before they come, and when they ask someone to do something, they naturally have to take out the money, of course they understand this truth.
But here's the problem...... This guy always takes money and doesn't do anything!
"Li Shangshu is willing to help?" Jian Yi confirmed.
Li Qing nodded.
Seeing this, Jian Yi stopped talking nonsense and dug into his pocket happily.
The heavenly officials have all paid for it, and the others have stopped inking, and in half an hour, Li Qing put more than ten cloth bags on the table, and it is roughly estimated that it is no less than three hundred taels.
A group of people paid for it, and looked at Li Qing with a smile.
Jian Yi pressed his hands on the table, looking like, 'You better help, or I'll have to lift the table for you'.
He was beaten in the morning and is now very angry.
Li Qing also knew that this time was different, Jian Yi and the others were really anxious, and they couldn't use the same set to deal with Yang Shiqi and others, so he sighed:
"The fundamental reason why the emperor has improved the status of the cabinet is because the six ministries are separated from morality!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look scorned.
They are all human spirits, and they know where the crux is, but they just pretend not to know.
Li Qing analyzed: "The cabinet is taking advantage of this to take advantage of the rise of the situation, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also playing the same idea, which is why this one has happened." ”
His face was serious: "Everyone, you can't go against the emperor anymore in public and private, I can't hide it, I have a big news here." ”
"What is it?" Jian Yi asked.
"The emperor wants to let the cabinet ministers concurrently serve as the chamberlains of the six ministries." Li Qing was blunt.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked and at the same time extremely indignant: Why?
Li Qing glanced at everyone: "This official knows that you also have hardships, but the emperor's national policy for the migration of the people is imperative, even if you don't want to do it in your heart, there is a high probability that you can't stop it." ”
He looked grim: "Today is a squire, tomorrow it may be a book, if you can trust this official, listen to this official's advice." ”
"Li Shangshu, please speak."
"Comply with the emperor as soon as possible." Li Qing lamented: "The situation is already in danger of getting out of control, the cabinet is already closer to the emperor, and now it has the Sacred Heart, plus the help of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, no matter how strong the strength of the six ministries is, it is difficult to curb the rise of the cabinet;
Ladies and gentlemen, we have lost our Sacred Heart! ”
Everyone was silent, and their faces were ugly.
Li Qing struck while the iron was hot: "Actually, the emperor still believes in the six ministries in his heart, but the practice of the six ministries... How much it broke his heart;
The emperor is a benevolent monarch, and a benevolent monarch like the emperor is hard to find, so think about it, in the end...... Which is more important? ”
These words can be described as a pearl of words, and a group of people can't help but reflect on their own practices.
As the saying goes, there is no comparison, there is no harm, the current emperor is better than the previous emperor, not a little or two, and finally got a good emperor, but was 'abducted' by the cabinet, can this work?
Today is also a servant, tomorrow may be a scholar, the cabinet cannot stay...... Everyone made up their minds and was murderous.
