Chapter 59: Li Qing: I'm not targeting you!
Mandarin Palace.
After the early dynasty, several cabinet scholars gathered here, but no one was in the mood to work.
They felt very uncomfortable, not only for someone to intervene, but also for the fear of the nobles entering the cabinet, and this person was the notorious Li Qing.
Chen Wen, Peng Shi, Liu Dingzhi, and the last merchant who came in looked at each other and was speechless.
The name of the person and the shadow of the tree, as soon as they thought of becoming colleagues with Li Qing in the future, or even becoming an interest group, they became big for a while.
This guy is so unparticular that everyone knows it, and working with him is simply a kind of torture.
The four of them were silent for a long time, and Peng Shi was the first to speak, frowning and saying:
"Chen Ge Lao, this Li Qing has not been able to go to court for a long time, and Wenhua Hall is not coming, what is the situation, do you want to report to the emperor?"
Chen Wen is the first assistant, and it is not inappropriate for Peng Shi to say this, and it also gives people a sense of respect for their superiors.
Liu Dingzhi's eyes rolled, and he also echoed Peng Shi, and Shang hesitated for a moment to keep up with the rhythm:
"Chen Ge Lao, you are a jinshi in the first year of orthodoxy, or the first in the township test, and Li Qing has only been orthodox for five years when he entered the dynasty, it is said that he was only a doctor at the time, and he is still an official who spends money to operate, how can he compare with you?"
"That is, in terms of qualifications and knowledge, ten Li Qing are not Chen Ge's old opponents."
"Elder Ge, it's right that the emperor let him enter the cabinet, but he didn't give him the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, you are his boss, he is so big, he clearly doesn't take you seriously."
Three of you, you say a word, I say a word; looked loyal, indicating that he only recognized Chen Wen as the first assistant, and Li Qing was a fart!
But Chen Wen didn't think so, how could he not see that the three of them just wanted to use him as a gunman and set him up against Li Qing.
In order to achieve, the sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits!
Lao Tzu is not on the set, I am a handful of years old, and my body is not as good as a day, why is it in the limelight? Lao Tzu still wants to have a good death...... Chen Wen slandered.
However, a trace of anger also rose on his face, and he snorted: "Marquis Yongqing is indeed a little presumptuous, and he has lived up to the emperor's expectations. ”
The three nodded, looking forward to what was to come.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wen said: "Okay, don't care about him first, we are busy and can't delay state affairs." ”
Three: "......"
That's it?
If that's it, you can do it, why can't you?
One office, four people, eight hundred hearts......
To put it bluntly, the work of the cabinet is very simple, that is, to help the emperor sort out the recitals and attach a batch of notes, but whether to adopt it or not, and how to implement it, it is up to the emperor to decide.
In the Chenghua Dynasty, they still did not take off the attribute of secretary.
Of course, this is because of the suppression of the six ministries, as well as the emperor's deliberate weakening, otherwise the cabinet would not be so aggrieved.
The reason why the cabinet was suppressed was because the cabinet was similar to the 'current management', and if it was not curbed and gave it the power of the 'current official', it would be intolerable to both the six ministries and the emperor.
Especially when Sanyang was in power, the cabinet almost didn't hold it down, and with the end of Sanyang, Zhu Qizhen suppressed the cabinet openly and secretly, and the six ministries also began to fight back, so that the cabinet returned to their rightful position.
During Zhu Qiyu's administration, he also maintained a cautious attitude towards the cabinet, and he also understood the impact of delegating power to these people who commented on the suggestions.
If the power of suggestion is transformed into executive power, then the power cannot be the same.
The cabinet is naturally unhappy about this, but they are not happy, and they can't afford to make waves.
The six departments are already powerful, and the emperor is biased, so they can only be the 'second child', and now the 'second child' is dangerous, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also wants to come over to grab the position.
At present, Li Qing has also entered the cabinet, which makes the cabinet even more difficult: Isn't this bullying honest people?
The four of them sighed secretly and began to flip through the ......
When the sun rose high, Li Qing came belatedly and greeted a few people with a smile:
"Yo, how many of them, are they busy?"
The four of them looked up and saw Li Qing with a smile on his face, and they almost couldn't hold back: Do you want to look at Guibiao, what time is this?
Chen Wen arched his hand with a smile and said: "The Marquis of Yongqing is a noble, it stands to reason that we will salute the Hou Ye, however, now the Hou Ye has also entered the civil official system, and everyone is a colleague, you see ......"
"You don't need to be polite, just be commensurate with your colleagues in the future." Li Qing didn't like that either.
Seeing that Li Qing was so easy to speak, Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his bad impression of Li Qing was slightly better, as did the others.
If they saluted every time they met, their momentum would only be weaker, and they would not be able to straighten their waists in front of Li Qing.
After a few simple greetings, Li Qing came to the long bookcase and sat down, and said: "I don't know much about cultural governance, in the future, I will be in charge of military equipment, such as: Mobei grassland, Hetao area, local toast and other songs, okay?" ”
After a pause, "In business, I also have some attainments, and I can take care of them together, which can be regarded as reducing the burden for you." ”
came up to grab armaments and financial business, Rao is Chen Wen held the mentality of 'let him', and he couldn't help but get angry.
The other three were not going well, and their noses were going to smoke.
I can't live this day!
Chen Wen slapped his face on the spot: "Master Li, you are too domineering, right?" ”
"Is there one?"
Chen Wen was angry: "How to say, I am also the first assistant of the cabinet, although you have a knighthood, however, when you enter the cabinet, you have to act in accordance with the rules of the cabinet!" ”
Chen Wen flicked the sleeves of his robe and said in a light tone: "I am the first assistant of the cabinet, I have the final say on how to arrange it!" ”
I still have to look at your face? Li Qing sneered and said: "Lord Chen, I came to the cabinet to do business, but I didn't come to be angry, I Li Qing knows what kind of temperament you have, please put away your arrogance!" ”
"You ......"
"Also, I'm not targeting you!" Li Qing glanced at the other three and said lightly: "Everyone, I will make it clear today, I will be responsible for armaments and maritime affairs, and you will be responsible for other aspects, so we will not interfere with each other!"
Of course, you have the right to disagree, but you can give it a try! ”
"You are arrogant......!" Peng Shi and the other three people's faces changed, and even Shang Shi glared angrily.
Li Qing didn't care, but said: "I entered the cabinet because the emperor invited me to join the cabinet, in fact, I can play the emperor and change you all, I will set up a team by myself, do you think the emperor will agree?" ”
"Li Qing, you don't want to be rampant!" Chen Wen pouted his beard and said hatefully: "As the saying goes: once a son of heaven is a courtier; Do you really think this is still orthodox and Jingtai Dynasty? ”
Peng Shi responded with a smile: "Yes, don't take yourself too seriously." ”
Li Qing smiled: "First of all, there is no enmity between us, and I don't want to deal with you;
Secondly, it is still the same sentence, I came to the cabinet to do things, not to look at people's faces, armaments, maritime business, I will take care of these two aspects, and leave the rest to you, willing, we are still good colleagues, unwilling...... Then you go to the emperor to complain. ”
Li Qing leaned back in the chair and said indifferently: "If you can talk about the emperor, I will leave immediately." ”
"Okay, that's what you said, let's see!" Chen Wen flicked the sleeves of his robe and left angrily.
"We'll see!" Peng Shi also said a cruel word.
Then, Liu Dingzhi and Shang Chen:
"We'll see!"
~
"Your Majesty, I can't live this day......"
The four of them wept and rippled.
This look, like an angry little daughter-in-law, complained to her husband: Husband, you say something, we were bullied by Li bastard.
"You ...... Alas, why are you suffering? Zhu Jianshen looked embarrassed, "Marquis Yongqing has a high attainment in armaments and maritime affairs, and this time you can reduce the burden, isn't this the best of both worlds, don't cry......"
The husband obviously didn't want to care, and said: Just do it, don't do so much.
Chen Wenlao burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "The Lu of the king is worried about the king, if the emperor thinks that the ministers cannot share the worries for the king, then ...... Let the ministers and others return to their hometowns! ”
The daughter-in-law was obviously angry, and said ruthlessly: If you don't care about him, we'll divorce!
Zhu Jianshen frowned, a nameless fire arose, and his tone became stiff:
"Chen Ge Lao has worked hard for the country all these years, never cherishing his body, I see it in my eyes, it hurts in my heart, since Ge Lao wants to live for a long time, then I can only endure the pain and cut my love."
Husband: Leave!
"Your Majesty...... How so? Chen Wen was sobbing and grief-stricken.
Daughter-in-law: Phew! You conscienceless scumbag!
…
After a long stalemate, Zhu Jianshen was really tired of coping, it was really these people who could cry too much, crying so much that he became angry, but it was not easy to attack.
had no choice but to say: "Several Aiqing are dedicated to the country, with clean sleeves and a hard life...... Someone came, and later sent a hundred taels of silver to each of the scholars. ”
My husband said: Take it and buy a bag, don't look for trouble anymore, and then force Lai Lai, Lao Tzu will find a few more young ones.
The daughter-in-law said: "......"
——
After all, Chen Wen and the four of them didn't want to leave...... I don't want to say goodbye to my hometown and return to my hometown, so I finally got to this point, and I am reluctant to give up for anyone.
I don't know how many people are staring at the position of cabinet scholar, although the power is damaged, but it is not compared with the functions of ordinary officials, alas... Let's make do with it!
There's no way, who let them run into Li Qing, the evil star, and the emperor is hard-hearted, what can they do?
I can only accept it helplessly!
Chen Wen said: "Your Majesty, what should you do if Marquis Yongqing meddles in matters other than armaments and maritime commerce? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's really inappropriate to concentrate the power of the cabinet on one person." Peng Shi echoed and said, "Even though Li Qing is dedicated to the public, what about after Li Qing? ”
Should I say it or not, Li Qing's character in officialdom is extremely poor, but no one has ever doubted it, and he has never made an article on whether he is loyal or not.
However, this did not delay the vast majority of civil officials from hating him.
"Please ask the emperor to give me a word!" The four of them spoke in unison.
There must be a bottom line, if Li Qing gets so much power, he still eats in the bowl and looks at the pot...... I really couldn't live that day.
Zhu Jian groaned deeply, and he also felt that he couldn't delegate power too much to one person, he could trust Li Qing, but one yard is one yard, and the things in the system cannot be sloppy.
"He is only in charge of armaments and maritime affairs!" Zhu Jianshen readily gave the four of them the answer they wanted to hear, "Other than that, he has no right to interfere!" ”
