Chapter 65: Our Cabinet
Hallym Temple.
Li Qing finished reading the last part of the record and finalized it!
With Li Qing's confirmation, Liu Jian immediately got busy and began to make the final summary.
Li Dongyang also participated, and more than ten people sat in rows, according to the final draft, and the pen was like flying......
Li Qing didn't stay long, and when he saw that all aspects were proceeding in an orderly manner, he went home.
When I got home, the meal was ready.
These days, Zhu Wanqing's cooking skills have made rapid progress, and she has almost caught up with Li Hong's skills, which is very delicious.
After the meal, Zhu Wanqing looked flattering: "Uncle Li, are you still busy?" ”
"Hanlin Academy, not too busy, something?" Li Qing looked at her with a strange expression.
Zhu Wanqing smiled and said: "As the saying goes: don't practice your hands for three days, and don't read your mouth for three days; Uncle Li, your calligraphy... Don't delay too long. ”
Faster, faster, more ......
Li Qing sneered: "You're quite good at worrying." ”
"My niece is also kind." Zhu Wanqing didn't dare to talk deeply, so she quickly changed the topic: "Uncle Li, when will the eldest brother return to Beijing?" ”
"I've been on the road for a long time, and I guess I'll be back in more than ten days." Li Qing quipped, "What? Can't wait? ”
Zhu Wanqing's face turned red, and she pouted: "I hate it, people don't have it." ”
"Wow~" Li Qing stroked his arm exaggeratedly, "Can you stop being so twisted, I have goosebumps." ”
"Ahh Annoying, this is called reserved, reserved ......! Zhu Wanqing broke the defense, "Uncle Li, you are so annoying!" ”
Li Qingle said: "You just say if you want to, right?" ”
"I don't want to." Zhu Wanqing clipped her hands, her head twisted to the side, and she looked very tugging.
Li Qing nodded: "That's good, when he comes back, I'll let him go to the Hetao to develop, you are still young, don't be in a hurry to get married." ”
“…… Uncle Li, you're bored. Zhu Wanqing puffed up her breath, "How can you treat your godson like this?" ”
Li Qing said: "You are not in a hurry to marry him, instead of hanging all day long, it is better to let him experience it, he has his own life plan, and it is not only your private property." ”
"I ......" Zhu Wanqing was speechless, hesitated for a moment, and said, "After I go back this time, I will discuss it with my father and mother." ”
Li Qing nodded: Little cub, godfather can only help you get here.
…
Since that time, the cabinet has calmed down a lot, and even Peng Shi, who has always been at odds with Li Qing, has quieted down.
The reason why this is so is because of Chen Wen!
That time, Chen Wen used his resignation as a threat, but Zhu Jianshen didn't talk about martial arts, and he agreed without even retaining him, but the retirement treatment that should be given is the same.
After Chen Wen left, Peng Shi also became extremely low-key, afraid of following Chen Wen's old path, and also afraid of offending Li Qing, and the position of the first assistant was lost.
Although Li Qing successfully entered the cabinet, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Qing can't become the first assistant, not because he is not good enough, but because the emperor needs to be balanced.
It is true that Zhu Jianshen has no intention of letting Li Qing be the first assistant, Xungui + the first assistant, the balance is broken.
He can trust Li Qing, but he has to consider the system.
However, Li Qing didn't plan to be the first assistant, just a false name, what use do you want it?
Peng Shi no longer finds faults, Shang Shi and Liu Dingzhi are even more polite, they all sound good, and even Li Dongyang is not excluded, and occasionally he can chat with a few people.
With Chen Wen's return to his hometown, the atmosphere of the cabinet has become too harmonious......
On this day, Li Qing finished dealing with the matter at hand and was about to get off work, but the merchant asked him to stay and let Li Dongyang go first.
Li Qing was not much surprised, he knew that behind the change in the attitude of several people, there must be some scheme.
Returning to the chair, Li Qing glanced at the three of them and got straight to the point: "Don't worry, the first assistant of the cabinet must have been born among the three of you;
I won't rob you of this, but don't disturb me, let's not interfere with the river water from the well, just do our own thing. ”
Shang Chen said politely: "Lord Li is too modest, among the four of us, if you talk about qualifications, who else will you be the first assistant?" ”
"Not bad!" Liu Dingzhi bowed his head, "If Lord Li doesn't sit in the position of first assistant, it won't be Lord Li's problem, Lord Li can't do it, I really don't want to." ”
Peng Shi also licked his face and nodded his head.
Li Qing said with a smile: "Ming people don't say secret words, a few people might as well say it openly." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and finally Peng Shi arched his hand and said: "Lord Li, I have offended a lot before, please forgive me, the lower officials are also ......."
"Okay," Li Qing raised his hand to stop, "Let's talk about things directly!" ”
Peng Shi nodded: "Since Master Li is so refreshing, then the lower officials will not hide it; Alas..., our cabinet is really ...... It's miserable!
All parts of the country, we have to annotate the suggestions, the specific implementation is usually about seventy percent, our cabinet has been doing practical things, and what about the sixth?
Hehe......"
Shang Chen took the baton and continued: "It is true that the food of the monarch is worried about the king, and it is nothing to be tired and tired, this is the duty of the courtiers, but if you don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, the six ministries are too deceitful, and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to ride on the head of the cabinet, which is really ......."
"It's too much, it's too much!" Liu Dingzhi's brows were about to twist, and he said hatefully: "Scholar Li, tell me, aren't they bullying honest people, is it really our cabinet that is muddy?" ”
Peng Shi snorted: "The mud bodhisattva still has three points of fire, we can't sit still." ”
"yes, you can't sit still......"
I have to say that the impassionedness of the three is empathetic, and even gives birth to a sense of common hatred.
However, in the face of Li Qing, their wishful thinking obviously failed.
Li Qingdao: "Taizong founded the cabinet, the original intention was to relieve the worries of the king, according to the grade, the cabinet scholars are five grades, six Shangshu, Shilang, and the Imperial History of the Imperial Inspectorate...... The grades are all above the university scholars, so why are you dissatisfied? ”
The three of them were stunned, obviously they didn't expect Li Qing to say this, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Qing said again: "It's all for the sake of Daming, don't say anything else, who is riding on whose head." ”
As soon as the words came out, Li Qing couldn't help but slander: How can these words have the flavor of Qiong Yao? Well...... It's all that little girl who influences me!
The faces of the three of them were ugly, they didn't expect that Li Qing would refuse so simply.
Peng Shi arched his hand and said: "Lord Li is humble and humble, such a mind is admirable, however, the cabinet's voice is too low, and the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are suspicious, and often suppress us under the guise of public and private affairs...... Don't be careful! ”
"Yes, people don't hurt the tiger's heart, and the tiger is harmful to people!" Shang Shi nodded: "You can bear it if you are a little angry, the key is that they rely on their power and often dismiss the cabinet's proposals, which is really hateful." ”
Liu Dingzhi arched his hand and said: "Master Li, you are not only a scholar, but also the Marquis of Yongqing, we can just endure it, you ......"
"I can bear it, too." Li Qing interrupted him and said with a smile, "I said before, I came to the cabinet to do things, and I don't care about anything else, if you feel angry, you can tell the emperor." ”
After that, without waiting for a few people to persuade him again, he got up and said, "Farewell!" ”
Seeing Li Qing leave, the three of them looked at each other and were speechless.
Liu Dingzhi frowned and said, "Hongzai, didn't you say that Li Qing intends to lay out in the civil and official system?" How did he... Not at all? ”
Shang Chen's face was hot, and he sneered: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this, maybe there is a problem in some link......
"I see." Peng Shi suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the two.
The two asked, "What did Brother Chundao think of?" ”
Peng Shi said with a smile: "You two patronize people to do things, have you ever thought about giving people benefits?" ”
"Uh... Yongqinghou doesn't seem to be bad for money, right? Shang Shi hesitated.
Liu Dingzhi frowned and said, "His previous reputation ...... Isn't that good? ”
"Hey, it's not strange to have many people," Peng Shi disagreed with the opinions of the two, "It used to be before, but now he is obviously laying out the civil service system and improving the status of the cabinet, which is only good for him, not bad, but just a step behind." ”
He smiled and said: "After all, people are people who stir up the storm in the temple, how can we say that people will immediately follow up?" What a fall! ”
"Hiss~ Makes sense!" Liu Dingzhi's frowning brows relaxed.
Shang Yu also felt reasonable, and nodded slowly: "That...... How so? ”
"Divide it evenly!" Peng Shi said.

Li Hong was wearing chain mail, riding on a tall horse, majestic, looking back at the army, smelling the fragrance of rice in the air, and couldn't help grinning.
This battle was too enjoyable, with an army of 160,000 encircled, and then advanced in an all-round way, with the blessing of artillery and firearms, it can be said to be crushed in all directions.
Unlike the last time he was almost alive, this battle only made him feel two words: happy!
This time, the team of 100 people led by him killed the most enemies, and they were also the first to rush up the mountain.
When I go back, I have to talk to my godfather...... Li Hong couldn't help but be silly and reluctant to get off the horse.
At this time, a voice came from behind him: "Xiao Li, come over for dinner." ”
Li Hong turned around, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "And the general!" ”
"No need to be polite," He Yong smiled, "I have a good relationship with Yongqinghou, and the battle is over at this time, so call me and my uncle." ”
"Uh... And uncle. Li Hong shouted and asked, "At this marching speed, how long will it take to rush back to Beijing?" ”
"Ten days at most." He Yong quipped, "What, can't wait to go back?" ”
Li Hong scratched his head embarrassedly and diverted the topic: "Uncle He, what to do with those prisoners we brought back?" ”
"What else can I do, the man is castrated as a eunuch, and the woman enters the palace as a palace maid." He Yong smiled and said, "Doing this can not only show the prestige of the imperial court, but also reflect our military exploits." ”
Li Hong nodded: "With so many people, can the palace fit it?" ”
"It's just a few hundred people, and it's not a problem to have a few times more, it really can't fit it, and there is no teaching department." He Yong couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Li, should you... It's still a chick, right? ”
Li Hong: "......"
