Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up: "This can fundamentally solve the hidden danger of the gentry continuing to grow." ”

"Uncle Qing, you really have you, you are really bad......" Zhu Zhanji got carried away, seeing that Li Qing's eyes were not good, he hurriedly added, "I'm praising you." ”

Li Qing: "......"

You really have the same virtue as your grandfather, and you even have the same words.

"We can't be too happy," Li Qing said, "as the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and they still have room for change." ”

"That's fine." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "After the imperial decree is issued, they can make a fuss themselves, and at worst, they can make those gentry backyards catch fire." ”

After a pause, "Uncle Qing, do you still have a plan?" ”

"Then there is the imperial examination system." Li Qing told Zhu Zhanji what he had told Zhu Di before.

To put it simply: the imperial court directly determines the quota of Jinshi, and divides this quota evenly among the provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the phenomenon of the dominance of the south can be eliminated.

In addition, there is also an invisible advantage, that is, some rich gentry will migrate from the south to the north for the sake of quotas.

Because of the allocation of the number of jinshi places, the difficulty of the imperial examination high school for candidates in the south will be raised to the hell level, while the education in the north is generally not high, and it is relatively much easier.

The migration of the rich gentry to the development of the north is much greater than that of ordinary people, and with their participation, they can quickly drive various industries.

Of course, this is all based on the fact that the decree can be issued smoothly.

After all, doing so is tantamount to directly shaking the entire Jiangnan civil official group, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Zhu Zhanji also knows the difficulty, but he doesn't want to back down, and now he is full of energy.

"It's done!"

"Courageous!" Li Qing gave a thumbs up, "However, you also have to be prepared for them to fight back, those people are not the ones who suffer." ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled: "What tricks do they have, even if they use it, I'll take it one by one!" ”

Li Qing nodded, in a happy mood.

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, if the dynasty wants to be prosperous, the will of the emperor is the most important thing.

"Can the army hold steady?" Li Qing asked.

This is what he is most worried about, no matter how chaotic the situation is, it can be controlled, and at most it can only be compromised, but the army must not be chaotic.

"Rest assured, everything is under control." Zhu Zhanji said confidently, "After I ascended the throne, I released Wei Qing as soon as possible and reinstated him as an official. ”

"Really?"

"Do I have to lie to you?" Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "Do you think that civilian officials have infiltrated the army?" ”

Li Qing smiled dumbly: "Yes, but I'm too careful." ”

After a pause, "In that case, when are you going to start?" ”

"Tomorrow morning!" Zhu Zhanji held back for so long and didn't want to wait any longer, "Ming'er, you can't be lazy, you have to come early." ”

"Good!"

……

When he got home, Li Qing took a fishing rod and prepared to go to the pond to fish and relax, but he heard a report from someone who had come to the door, so he had to return to the front yard.

It is righteous to come.

Li Qing was a little puzzled, so he simply greeted him and invited him into the house.

When he came to the guest hall, he sat down and got straight to the point: "Li Shangshu, does the emperor want to promote the cabinet?" ”

"I don't know."

Jianyi: "......"

"Li Shangshu, we are all the way, the cabinet can't be bigger, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Jian Yi's face was full of sincerity, "You may think that this official is all for his own power, but... Not!

The cabinet is an institution that is somewhat similar to Zhongshu Province, once they are given power, they are like prime ministers, and Taizu abolished the prime minister system in order to prevent a monopoly ......"

Balabala......

Li Qing listened quietly and said: "Don't worry, even if the emperor promotes the cabinet, the cabinet will not reach the height of the prime minister!" ”

"So, is the emperor really planning to promote the cabinet?" Jian Yi asked.

Li Qing: "I don't know. ”

Jianyi: "......"

Seeing that he really couldn't talk about a reason, Jian Yi simply put it to the bottom, "Li Shangshu, this official will tell the truth, if the emperor promotes the cabinet, this official, including Xia Shangshu, and all the officials of the six ministries, will strongly oppose it and stick to it to the end." ”

Li Qing was noncommittal, and said with a light smile: "Do all the officials of the six departments mentioned by Jian Shangshu include our military department?" ”

Jian Yi's face was hot, and he immediately persuaded, "Li Shangshu is a person from the six departments, so he naturally has to think about the six departments, if he thinks about catering to the emperor in everything and doesn't think about the people below, then he will end up deviating from morality and difficult to convince the public." ”

"Thank you for your advice." Li Qing picked up the teacup with a smile and took a sip of tea, "Is there anything else Jian Shangshu has to say?" ”

Jian Yi smiled bitterly and sighed: "Li Shangshu, you ...... Alas, to put it mildly, like you and me, many things are involuntarily, and the people below support you and me, in addition to you and me as their bosses, more for their own future;

In this whirlpool of power, even if we don't want to, they will push you and me away, and if we don't leave, we will be trampled under their feet;

Of course, Li Shangshu can detach you, but I can't!

Power is a double-edged sword, if you can't hurt others, you have to hurt yourself, and you are an official...... It's hard! ”

He recounted his way of being an official: "Officialdom is a battlefield that uses each other, and the people below use our big tree to enjoy the shade, and we can also use them to achieve political ambitions;

If you want to show your ambitions and make a career, without these 'branches and leaves', no matter how great your talent is, it will be useless. ”

Jian Yi is rare to dig out his heart, "Don't talk about it, let's just say that last year's southerners moved north, in a few months, millions of people were migrated, what can be relied on to have such a big result?"

Isn't it still the people below, doing their best to supervise it?

If it weren't for them, don't say that millions or millions can't migrate, what are people working so hard for? ”

Li Qing silently sipped the tea, and Jian Yi stopped talking.

Waiting for Li Qing to make a choice.

After a long time, Li Qing spoke: "With these words, why don't Jian Shangshu directly advise the emperor?" ”

Jian Yi smiled bitterly: "The same words are very different from those that come out of the mouth of this official and those that come out of Li Shangshu's mouth." ”

It's a fact!

Li Qing has gone through four dynasties, and Jian Yi has also gone through four dynasties, so he knows Li Qing's energy too well.

Jian Yi was a jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and when he stepped into the officialdom, Li Qing was already a man of the hour.

When he was still submissive and careful everywhere, Li Qing killed horses, beheaded corrupt officials, conquered Mobei, and sealed the Marquis of Yongqing.

What makes Jian Yi even more unbelievable is that Li Qing is not only a cow in the Hongwu Dynasty, but also a cow in the Jianwen Dynasty.

That's it, after the Battle of Jingjing, Li Qing, Jianwen's confidant, was not only not affected at all, but his status went to a higher level.

Taizong was so suspicious of an emperor, but he believed in Li Qing with a dead heart, so he ...... Outrageous.

When he arrived in Renzong, Li Qing was almost regarded as a national teacher in the true sense, and his words were comparable to golden rules.

The same is true of the current emperor.

The absolute trust of five emperors in a row, throughout the past dynasties, Li Qing is definitely the only one.

The officials of the DPRK and China all know Li Qingniu, but no one understands better than Jian Yi what kind of realm Li Qingniu has reached.

In the battle between the ministers and the cabinet, who wins and who loses, Li Qing plays a key role.

"Don't be angry with Li Shangshu, who said something unpleasant," Jian Yi sighed, "Li Shangshu, you started too high, you haven't experienced the hardships of coming up from a small person step by step, and you don't know much about the twists and turns. ”

Li Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he bowed his head and said, "Please make it clear to the book." ”

Seeing that he was willing to listen, Jian Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said seriously: "In fact, many times, this official is helpless, you may only see me throwing the pot and mud, but you don't see my distress;

The officials of the Ministry of Heaven are majestic, but who knows the bitterness behind this majesty? ”

"Coordination of various ministries, distribution of interests, and sophistication of human feelings...... "Jian Yi Balabala said that it is not easy for him, although he is suspected of exaggeration, but most of them are true.

In the court with per capita elites, is it easy to be a stable official?

Jian Yi confessed: "To be an official to achieve my position, who doesn't want to make some merits and leave a name in history?"

Yes, I can't be like a saint, but how can I not want to do something good for the Ming Dynasty and the people?

I came here today, not only for myself, but also for the court! Jian Yi said affectionately, "Li Shangshu, think about it carefully, there are only a few people in the cabinet, and how many people are in the six departments?"

The cabinet is damaged, it is insignificant, and the six parts are damaged, which hurts the muscles and bones! ”

After saying this, Jian Yi shut up, everything that should be said was said, and there was no point in chattering any longer.

Li Qing pondered for a long time and made a statement: "Jian Shangshu said these words, this official will truthfully play the emperor." ”

"Whew~" Jian Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, got up and arched his hand: "So, thank you Li Shangshu." ”

"Huh...... Where, as it should be. ”

The two politely blew a wave of business to each other, and said goodbye and left.

After Jian Yi left, Li Qing did not delay and entered the palace again.

……

The nave of the Royal Palace.

Li Qing waited for a while before Zhu Zhanji rushed over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Make a temporary patch."

“？？？” Zhu Zhanji's face was full of question marks, he moved his sore neck, and said angrily, "Stop playing riddles, I still have a bunch of official business to deal with." ”

Li Qing took a deep breath and said, "The following are the original words of Jian Yi!" ”

Balabala......

~

Zhu Zhanji's brows gradually tightened, "What do you think about this?" ”

"Are you sure you want to elevate the Cabinet?" Li Qing asked.

Zhu Zhanji nodded.

"That's going to be easy." Li Qing smiled, "Then implement the old tradition and compromise!" ”

"By the way, you didn't have a direct showdown, did you?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "Not yet, but... In order to boost their enthusiasm, I have revealed. ”

"It's done without understanding the old bottom." Li Qingdao said, "Actually, there is a saying in Jianyi that is very true, the damage to the cabinet is not painful, but the damage to the six departments will hurt the muscles and bones.

It is okay to promote the Cabinet, but the Cabinet must not be allowed to overpower the six ministries. ”

"I understand that." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know in my heart that the promotion of the cabinet will be postponed for a few days, and the two national policies you mentioned must be implemented first." ”

He flattered and said: "Qingbo, your proposal is a hundred or a thousand times better than the national policy I have been thinking about." ”

“…… No top hats! ”
