"Let's do it!" Zhu Qizhen said.

Li Qing looked confused: "What do you do?" ”

"Yang Shiqi is no longer in court." Zhu Qizhen said, "I think we should take the next step." ”

"......" Li Qing understood him, but he wouldn't accompany him to Hu Lai, "Don't be in a hurry, it's not a hurry, I've been waiting for so many years, it's not a while." ”

"When will that be?" Zhu Qizhen frowned, "If it is solved as soon as possible, it will be a great benefit to Jiangshan Sheji and the common people, and now we have an advantage......

"What's the advantage?" Li Qing asked rhetorically, "Yang Shiqi is an advantage if he doesn't go to court?" ”

Zhu Qizhen was embarrassed and said stupidly: "This is a good thing, isn't it?" ”

"It's a good thing, but the enemy is not just Yang Shiqi, but the civilian clique." Li Qing shook his head and said, "Even if Yang Shiqi stops, it doesn't mean that the problem will be solved;

If the system cannot be fundamentally changed, there will still be many Yang Shiqi. ”

"But ......" Zhu Qizhen was not convinced, but he couldn't refute it, he was silent for a long time, and asked: "Then what do you say?" ”

"Step by step, wait for Yang Ji to be escorted to Jingshi first." Li Qing said seriously, "There are already too many vested interests, and if the means are drastic, they will definitely bring a strong rebound, so they can only operate slowly and quietly change;

It's like... Boiled frog ...... in warm water"

After listening to Li Qing's theory, Zhu Qizhen slowly calmed down, "What Mr. said is that I am too anxious. ”

Seeing him like this, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the little emperor listened to persuasion.

This point is better than Zhu Yunwen.

He was really worried that this little guy would be carried away by the 'victory' and do something reckless.

Zhu Qizhen is young and can be called young, and people at this age like to use heavy classics the most, which is also a taboo in the court.

Temple battles are the most taboo to open and close, and even conspiracy and calculation are not very feasible, and those who can rush into the temple are not the best among the people, and no one is a fool.

Therefore, most of the temples use Yangmou, or in other words, reasonable operation is the king!

Zhu Qizhen sighed, and the smugness on his face was a little less, "Then everything is still according to the original plan, first get rid of Yang Shiqi, and then trick the ministers, so as to achieve the purpose of sending troops." ”

Li Qing added: "The purpose of sending troops is to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, not to go to the West for the imperial court, this point must be kept in mind, only in this way will it not arouse their resistance." ”

"Well, I wrote it down." Zhu Qizhen nodded, and asked again: "In addition to this, what else does Mr. think needs to be rectified as soon as possible?" ”

Li Qing thought for a while, "Abolish the election system, restore the election, and the right to appoint, dismiss, and promote officials must be decided by the emperor." ”

After a pause, "Of course, the power to assess and draw up the list should be delegated to the officials, first, it can reduce their rejection, and second, if the emperor grasps everything, he can't catch it." ”

"The power to appoint and dismiss personnel is the most important thing, and its significance is no less than that of military power." Li Qingdao said, "If you grasp this, you will get twice the result with half the effort in the future." ”

Zhu Qizhen's heart pounded, "What Mr. said is, but... I'm afraid this is not easy! ”

"It's not easy, but... It's not as hard as you think. Li Qing said with a smile, "People are selfish, there are not a few people who smash the pot after eating, stand up and lift the table, most people take shortcuts by themselves, but they want to block the shortcuts." ”

"When people break through the class, they often choose to solidify the class rather than pull the people below, and they will make it more difficult for the people below to break through, so as to maintain their detachment." Li Qing sighed.

Zhu Qizhen looked at him in a daze, and said in his heart: Are you talking about yourself?

Li Qing himself relied on the promotion to enter the court, but as soon as he came up, he had to abolish the baoju, isn't it just a smashing pot after eating?

No, what kind of eyes do you have...... Li Qing was unhappy: "Does the emperor think so?" ”

"Ahh Yeah. Zhu Qizhen hurriedly put away his eyes and said, "Mr. is talented." ”

When Li Qing said this, he also felt that the difficulty of this matter was lower than he imagined.

Zhu Qizhen was in a happy mood: "Mr. is so talented, a seven-grade Dr. Taichang Temple is too talented, is Mr. interested in the position of the servant of the ministry?"

I'm only going to send you alone, and I don't think they'll lose face. ”

"I can't take the lead at this stage." Li Qing declined, "Wait a little longer." ”

"Then change to the military department and give it to the middle of the matter." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile, "It is also the seventh grade, and they all have the qualifications to enter the palace and go to the court, and Mr. can always grasp the situation in the court, what does Mr. think?" ”

Li Qing thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while and optimizing the details, Li Qing took the letter of appointment and dismissal and left.

…

Military Department.

After more than ten years of absence, Li Qing stepped into the yamen again.

Yang Shiqi is the secretary of the Ministry of War, but his focus is on the cabinet, and Yu Qian is usually in charge, but now Yang Shiqi is on sick leave, and Yu Qian has become an absolute talker.

When Li Qing entered the lobby, Yu Qian was planning the categories of tea and horse trade, and when he saw him come in, he was surprised:

"Dr. Li, why are you here?"

"Now it's Li Du's thing." Li Qing smiled and shook the appointment and dismissal letter.

Yu Qian was overjoyed in his heart and said with a smile: "Sit down first, and I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the daily affairs later." ”

He has done all the things in the military department and has experience.

Li Qing was not in a hurry, walked to the chair and sat down, looking at Yu Qian with interest.

It is only a matter of time before Yang Shiqi leaves, and as soon as he leaves, Yu Qian must be the secretary of the military department.

It's fun to think about it, in the past, Yu Qian was in the middle of the military department, he was the secretary of the military department, and now the whole thing is reversed, as if it is a reincarnation.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yu Qian finished the official business at hand, and got up with a smile, "Let's familiarize yourself with the yamen first." ”

"Yu Shilang, please."

"Hey, please." Yu Qian nodded first, for some reason, when he heard Li Qing call him Yu Shilang, he always felt awkward in his heart.

He always subconsciously felt that Li Qing was Li Qing.

…

Yu Qian took Li Qing for a walk, and then introduced to Li Qing the work content of the military department, and it was already noon after finishing all this.

"Haven't eaten yet?" Yu Qian asked.

I've always been with you, aren't you talking nonsense...... Li Qing nodded amusedly: "Not yet." ”

"That's... Let's eat together, right? ”

"Okay!"

It's too similar, even the temperament and character are the same...... Yu Qian smiled: "Then let's go, the northern cuisine is not as exquisite as the southern cuisine, but it also has a different flavor." ”

"It's hard to spend money on the waiter." Li Qing said, looking like 'you have a treat'.

Yu Qian touched his nose, he originally planned to pay for it himself, but when Li Qing said this, he felt strange in his heart, under normal circumstances, how could there be a waiter who asked for everything?

But he couldn't get a little depressed, as if he should be invited, "It's nothing, it should be." ”

Yu Qian didn't know where to go, he just said it subconsciously.

The two of them walked out of the yamen with a smile, and the officials were stunned, it was the first time they saw Yu Shilang who was not smiling, so... Approachable.

Jingcheng Street.

After so many years of operation and construction, the prosperity of Beiping has increased several times compared with before, although it is still not as good as Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it is second only to them.

There is no small workshop in the capital, so Yu Qian chose a restaurant that is decent and meets his consumption level.

Elegant room.

Eight dishes of meat and vegetables, a pot of wine, and the two chatted while eating.

Unconsciously, Yu Qian led the topic to the court.

"The problem now is not only the civil servants represented by the gentry, but also the corruption of the army." This shouldn't have been said to anyone, but Yu Qian just couldn't control it and wanted to confide, "Especially the border army, not only is corruption rampant, but also smuggling and trading with the grassland in private, which makes a miasma." ”

Li Qing groaned: "When did this matter start? ”

"It started after the death of the first emperor, but the real corruption became popular when the Wenchen led by Yang Shiqi advocated sending ministers to the army."

Yu Qian sighed: "Originally, the minister of the town guard was sent to curb corruption in the army, but it backfired, alas, ......! ”

Li Qing was not surprised at all, from the fact that he learned that the imperial court had sent Wenchen to guard the army, he expected this to happen.

Without him, in terms of making money, Wenchen can be more professional than military generals, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dimensionality reduction blow.

"What does Yu Shilang think is the most important thing to solve?"

"The phenomenon of empty salary." Yu Qian said: "Others can be tolerated for the time being, but this is not good, it is ridiculous to say, I don't know how many troops there are in the Ming Dynasty now." ”

Li Qing frowned: "Is the civil official group already strong enough to this point?" ”

Yu Qian was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not that Wenchen is not a good person, there are still many people who are sincere and sincere." ”

Li Qing smiled, noncommittal.

"How is the Jing Army?"

"The Beijing army is fine, and there are no problems of principle." Yu Qian said, "The problems are all border troops and guards. ”

Li Qingxin said: It seems that the troops going to Siam and Burma can only use the Beijing army, and the frontiers and guards have been infiltrated by civilian officials, and they can't win with eighty percent of them, not because of their combat strength, but because of their attitude.

It is easy to degenerate, but it is difficult to be reformed, and the corruption of the past five years may not be restored to the same state in ten years.

Yu Qian saw that although he frowned, he was calm and calm, and couldn't help asking: "Does Li Du have a clever plan for the matter?" ”
