Chapter 314: The Arrogant Metropolitan Procuratorate
"You haven't been to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so you probably don't know much about us. The purple-clothed Zhongcheng said: "If there is no certification from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, even if you ascend the throne, you are not orthodox, you can only say that you are a powerful thief." ”
"Anti-thief!" Ning Caichen's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you threatening me now?"
"It's not a threat, I'm talking about reality. If you don't believe me, you can ask this Yangshan University scholar next to you. Purple Zhongcheng said.
Ning Caichen looked at Yang Shan, but saw his old man nodding and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate was established thousands of years ago, and dynasties have changed in the past thousand years, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate has never disappeared, and the rights of the officials have never declined. ”
The purple-clothed Zhongcheng smiled, and the white-clothed Zhongcheng and the black-clothed Zhongcheng beside him glanced at each other, and the feeling of winning appeared in their hearts.
It's just that in his smile, Ning Caichen said expressionlessly: "I haven't attenuated before, it doesn't mean that I have to accept this permission." In addition, let me ask more, do you think that the emperor has done something wrong in the imperial history, and he wants to stop it?"
"If you can't accept this kind of authority, you can't create a new state. And if you want to establish a new country, you must restrict your rights and allow the right to admonish in the imperial history. Ziyi Zhongcheng said indifferently.
Ning Caichen smiled and said, "I want to ask, why?"
"Based on what you just said, you started as a speech official, if we didn't give you this identity, do you think you can get to this point?"
Ning Caichen made a sudden statement: "I said why do you look arrogant to me, it turns out that I feel that I owe you, and I have used the charity you have given to get to where I am today." ”
Zhongcheng in purple opened his mouth and said, "Isn't it?"
Ning Caichen looked at him expressionlessly: "Yes or no, it doesn't really matter. The important thing is that I will not promise you. Do you think that the so-called orthodox identity needs to be certified by others? As long as I widely practice virtue and government, and let all the people in the Ming Domain eat well and live well, I will be absolutely orthodox. ”
"Are you really so ruthless and unjust? When you were weak, the court wanted to move you, or did we stop you with the help of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The black-clothed Zhongcheng said coldly.
"Not giving you the right to affect me has become my ruthlessness and unrighteousness. Ning Caichen smiled and said: "My bottom line has been given to you, whether you can cooperate or not, you can weigh it yourself." Of course, if you don't choose to cooperate with me, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will have no rights within my territory. ”
"You'll regret it, let's go. The black-clothed man snorted coldly and said to the two colleagues.
Looking at the backs of the three of them turning to leave, Ning Caichen directly raised a middle finger and said to the people beside him: "Lord Yang, why is this Metropolitan Procuratorate showing off its power in front of me? In addition to thinking that I owe them, what hole cards do they have to fail?"
Yang Shan said disdainfully: "They just think that you are supported by them, and they must be given enough respect, and it is best to treat them like their ancestors, so they treat you as a junior." These people have really been kicked in the brain by a donkey, and now they can't see what form it is. ”
"In other words, they haven't been able to affect my hole cards, right?" Ning Caichen was a little uneasy, and emphasized again.
"From the moment the Ming Dynasty was born, the cabinet has been in a struggle with them, and we know exactly what means they have. Left and right are nothing more than manipulating people's hearts, and they are vertically and horizontally...... these means. Yang Shan said.
Ning Caichen paused, and suddenly said: "When the Zhejiang army entered the city, the dozen or so officials who died were all members of the Donglin Party, right?"
Yang Shan was stunned, a little didn't keep up with his jumping thinking, and subconsciously replied: "That's right, it's a group of self-proclaimed loyal Donglin Party members." ”
Ning Caichen looked at him seriously and said: "The eunuchs of the four major forces in the capital have declined, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Donglin Party, and the cabinet you are in have all been well preserved until now. Now, the Donglin Party is against me, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is against me, do you think they will join forces and make trouble for me?"
"It's hard to say. A gleam flashed in Yang Shan's eyes, and he said: "If you allow me the position of the first assistant of the cabinet to help me firmly control the cabinet, then whether it is the Donglin Party or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I have the confidence to block it for you." ”
Ning Caichen glanced at him lightly and said, "There will be no more cabinet in the future, if you are really ambitious and want to work for me, I can grant you the position of deacon of Wenjiang Pavilion." As for the Donglin Party, I will slowly kick them all out of the stage of history, and there will be no need for these people in the future empire.
And the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I hope they won't do anything wrong. Otherwise, there would be no need for this thousand-year-old organization. It's a big deal, I'll build a royal history platform myself. ”
Yang Shan was shocked by his words, but remembering that he was now in the prime of his army and controlled the current situation of the entire Jingshi, he didn't think he was talking big.
"As far as I know, the position of the deacon of Wenjiang Pavilion should be about the same level as that of a cabinet scholar, right?"
Ning Caichen shook his head, but in his somewhat disappointed gaze, he said an answer that surprised him: "Of course it won't be about the same level, the rank of the deacon of Wenjiang Pavilion is much higher than that of the cabinet scholar." Let me give you a thorough understanding in advance, in the future Ming Domain, it will be Wenjiang Pavilion who will govern alone and manage all the people in the world. And I'm not going to manage government affairs. ”
Yang Shan's heart trembled, and he said in horror: "Didn't you give up your rights?"
Ning Caichen smiled and said, "Do you think that it is the right of the emperor to govern all the people in the world? No, you are wrong. The power of the emperor is to decide the rise and fall of all living beings, and in one thought, he can make a beggar rich and rival the country, and in one thought, he can displace the prime minister of the dynasty. Those who follow me prosper, and those who go against me die. ”
"Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish, and those who follow me prosper and disobey me perish......" Yang Shan muttered this sentence in his mouth, and his gaze at Ning Caichen was no longer different, from the previous equality to looking up, and there was a trace of awe in it.
"The cabinet will come to an end today, whether you want to become a deacon of Wenjiang Pavilion or not, you have to give me an answer as soon as possible. Ning Caichen restrained his smile and said solemnly.
Yang Shan took a deep breath, no longer hesitated at the moment, and knelt on the ground: "Minister Yang Shan, please see the lord." (To be continued.) )
