Chapter 25 There is giving, there is gain
Zhu Jianshen was overjoyed, after Li Qing said this, he suddenly brightened, depressed and brisked, and finally saw hope.
"Come on, prepare the food and drinks!" Zhu Jianshen turned his head and shouted, turned his head, and said with a smile: "We monarchs and ministers haven't been together for a long time, so we have a good drink today." ”
Li Qing nodded with a smile.
Zhu Jianshen asked, "Sir, do you have any other suggestions?" ”
"It's gone." Li Qing shook his head, "Your Majesty, what you are doing well now, retracting power is not an overnight thing, just hold your breath and keep the current rhythm, don't be anxious, take your time step by step." ”
This is Zhu Jianshen's most valuable quality, and Li Qing doesn't want to make him frizzy because of himself.
How many years have passed, and finally there is another emperor with great potential, Li Qing wants Zhu Jianshen to take power with his own ability, instead of worrying about everything like he did when he helped Zhu Qizhen, judging from the results, that is not necessarily correct.
Iron also needs to be hard.
And it's too easy to get, either it's not cherished, or it's too inflated, no matter which result it is, Li Qing is not happy to see it.
…
The wine and food were all together, and the two monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other, raising their glasses and drinking together.
"After drinking this wine, all the unpleasantness of the past is over." Zhu Jianshen raised his glass and smiled, "Sir, I salute you." ”
"Hmm... Respect to the Emperor. Li Qing raised his glass and touched him, and he was also pleased.
He is very satisfied with Zhu Jianshen, better than Zhu Zhanji back then, as long as Zhu Jianshen has always stabilized his mentality, it is a sure thing to take power in the future, and when the time comes, he can retire with confidence.
Leaving is not all about longevity, Li Qing also wants to take a break, in addition, he still has things to do, very important things.
But before that, it is necessary to ensure the stability and health of the DPRK.
Zhu Jianshen really understands the strength of this important minister of the two dynasties today, and he can't help but sigh: There is no vanity under the fame, which can make the ministers so jealous and hateful, and they can still be safe and sound, and it is really not in vain.
He humbly asked, "Sir, what do you think I still need to improve, or what is wrong with me?" ”
Li Qing thought about it, except for Wan Zhen'er's matter being a little impulsive, Zhu Jianshen really didn't have anything to fault with, he was not arrogant, he was not impatient, and he was not compromised.
Although he didn't make much achievements, he didn't lose his position, at least he didn't lose the dignity of the emperor, and his power didn't get out of control.
It is undeniable that the power of the Ming Emperor has been systematically risked since Zhu Zhanji, and the fundamental reason is that Zhu Zhanji died too early, and Zhu Qizhen was too young when he took the throne.
During the period from the tenth year of Xuande to the fifth year of orthodoxy, on the surface, the Empress Dowager Zhang presided over the overall situation, but in fact, the government has been controlled by Sanyang, which has made the civil officials rapidly bigger.
Whether it is the guarantee system, or the dispatch of ministers to the army, it has caused the civilian clique to grow savagely, thanks to only five years, the ills have not been deeply rooted, otherwise, Li Qing may not be able to set things right so quickly.
Rao is like this, and the imperial power has also suffered a certain weakening, such as...... Now Zhu Jianshen.
It is undeniable that this has something to do with Zhu Jianshen's accession to the throne, but it is also a fact that the civil government has grown.
Li Qing sighed and said: "The emperor has no shortcomings, the current rhythm is very right, the more urgent, the easier it is to make mistakes, in the same way, the more fierce they are, the more fierce their resistance;
The best thing to do is... Boiled frogs in warm water!
The subtle little change made them feel painless, and when they came back to their senses, the general trend was gone. ”
"Boiled frog ...... warm water" Zhu Jianshen chewed on this fresh word and bowed his head happily, "Sir's words are very reasonable, but... They're not stupid, I'm afraid it's hard to achieve! ”
"This is going to test the emperor's skills, it is true that they are very shrewd, but they are just for personal gain." Li Qing said with a smile, "Hit one, pull one, divide and conquer, and make it uneven." ”
Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded his head: "Mr. Jinyu's good words really make me enlightened!" ”
Li Qing smiled proudly: "Can it be called a thousand words?" ”
"When ......" Zhu Jianshen just wanted to nod, but suddenly realized that Li Qing was a money fan, and said, "Sir, I am not rich!" ”
It's really slamming the door, and it's worthy of your father's cub...... Li Qing snorted: "Look at what you said, I'm the one who is greedy for money." ”
"Of course not, Mr. Gao Feng Liangjie......"
Balabala......
Li Qing really couldn't listen to it, and interrupted: "Okay, I ate the food, drank the wine, and the idea was given to you, how to do it, you can do it." ”
With that, get up and go.
"Sir, stay here."
"Anything else?"
Zhu Jianshen said: "If you don't know if you go to court, they are still afraid of you, you will raise it, and it will be better to think about it." ”
"I won't get involved." Li Qing waved his hand slightly, "They are very jealous of me, if I say it, they will naturally reject it, and they will definitely do an in-depth interpretation, but the effect will be reduced, far less than you to do." ”
"Hmm...... That's fine. ”
Zhu Jianshen was a little helpless: This guy is really lazy.
However, Li Qing finally helped him a lot, and Zhu Jianshen felt that he couldn't be too stingy, so he said: "It's all summer, and it's getting hotter and hotter every day, and in the future, I will let my husband send some ice cubes every day to cool off." ”
"Then thank the emperor."
Zhu Jianshen smiled: "If Mr. wants to thank you, you will often come to the court in the future." ”
“…… The minister retired. ”
Zhu Jianshen: "......"

When he got home, Li Qing lay in the shade of a tree, picked up a boring book and flipped through it, and after a while, he fell asleep.
After Brother Donkey left, the house became quieter, Li Qing didn't have to feed every day, became lazier, and life became more and more boring.
Having no desires is not a good thing, it can be decadent and demoralizing.
More than ten days have passed, after the early summer has passed, the weather has become hot, although Li Qing is not invaded by cold and heat, but there is a trace of cool air blowing, it is still very comfortable......
At the beginning of May, under the operation of Zhu Jianshen, Wuju reopened!
The cabinet agreed, the new secretary Yao Kui agreed, and the master of ceremonies supported;
At the same time, the reduction of the army made the civil officials no longer so reluctant to reopen the military movement, and with the emperor's promise to increase the salary, they also agreed half-way.
This important national policy, which is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, has finally been implemented with the support of everyone.
The martial arts examination refers to the imperial examination, and is divided into the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, but the content of the examination is different.
Everything is developing according to Li Qing's expectations, Zhu Jianshen's IQ has always been online, he has not been carried away by the temporary victory, he is still tolerant and benevolent to his subordinates, and he is still ...... Soft and rigid.
But the attitude is still very positive, at least, Zhu Jianshen has achieved a bright surface!
And the ministers who realized that the emperor was not easy to bully, gradually, also restrained a lot of presumptuousness, and because the ministers were still the same person as the cabinet chief, the cabinet dispute had signs of setting off again.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen's pressure has been reduced a lot.
Inspired by Li Qing, Zhu Jianshen copied the strategies of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen against the grassland to the court.
Adopting the style of provoking from the inside and pouting from the outside, sometimes favoring the six ministries, but more often favoring the cabinet, this has weakened the cohesion of the civilian clique to a certain extent.
Above the temple, all of them are human spirits, and it is natural to see that this young man does not speak of martial virtues, but it can be seen that this trick is still easy to use.
Without him, everyone is selfish, since the dispute between the cabinet and the ministry is inevitable, why not take advantage of the emperor's power to fight political opponents?
Especially the cabinet, so far, the cabinet is still the younger brother, they want to resist the impact of the six departments, they can only rely on the imperial power.
The cabinet is doing practical things, they ask themselves to contribute more than the six ministries, and they are closer to the emperor, so they should naturally have a higher right to speak.
But the six ministries don't think so, in their eyes, the cabinet is the emperor's secretary, but it is just a temporary department added by Emperor Taizong.
The Sixth Ministry is a high-level bureaucracy that has existed since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it can be said that it is rooted in the grassroots, and the heritage of thousands of years has made them have a strong sense of superiority, and they look down on the cabinet in their bones.
Whether it is the time of existence or the grade, the six ministries are all hanging cabinets, and there is no comparison at all.
But the ministers work with the emperor every day, which is not comparable to the six Shangshu.
Without the hub of Li Xian, the relationship between the Sixth Ministry and the cabinet broke down in an instant.
…
Small courtyard.
Li Qing and Yu Qian sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting.
Yu Qian often brought wine and meat, and he knew that Li Qing was lazy and didn't eat many times.
"This roast chicken tastes good, you can eat some too." Li Qing spit out the chicken bones and said with a smile, "Don't look like a bitter gourd all day long, be happy." ”
Yu Qian: "......"
"Sir, do you know about the court?"
"Every time you come, you will nag a few words, I don't want to know, I can't do it." Li Qing rolled her eyes and said funny, "Isn't this quite calm, what are you worried about?" ”
Yu Qian sighed, "Although the contradiction between the monarch and the minister has been alleviated at the moment, the momentum of infighting has risen again, which is not a good thing after all!"
When Li Xian was there, the efficiency of government affairs was far more efficient than now...... Alas! ”
He smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Is this the inevitability of fish and bear's paws?" ”
Li Qing wiped his hands and said, "There must be a sacrifice before you can get it; Even if Li Xian doesn't leave, the situation won't be much better, once a son of heaven and a courtier, you are also a courtier, you still don't understand this? ”
Yu Qian sighed bitterly: "Yes, every time the new emperor ascends the throne, there will always be more or less turmoil in the court, in fact, I don't ask for anything, I just hope that it will be like when Xuanzong ascended the throne." ”
Li Qing rolled his eyes: "Do you want to eat fart, Zhu Zhanji's grandson...... Xuanzong was taught by Taizong, and Renzong taught by words and deeds, how do you compare the following three emperors? ”
“…… Sir, you can't help it? ”
"You really think I'm a god." Li Qing was speechless and snorted: "The current situation is the best situation I can come up with. ”
"So it's always been like this?" Yu Qian was unwilling.
"Of course not." Li Qing smiled slightly, and said happily: "You have to have confidence in our new emperor, in fact, he is really good, give him some time, I believe he can do a good job." ”
