"Ah......" Above the court, all the people who didn't know, including Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang, and even Gu Dayong and others, were stunned, and couldn't help but look at Liu Jin, as if they wanted to see through Liu Jin, to see if this person was still the greedy and domineering Liu Gonggong.

Even Emperor Zhengde was taken aback, and said a little at a loss: "Abolish the celebrant and the celebrant of ......ceremonies?" How can this be?"

"Your Majesty......" Liu Jin seemed to not know that it was the celebrant who relied on for his survival, but at this moment he said impassionedly, "The celebrant and the cabinet are each other's inner and outer courts, and they restrain each other and do not let the imperial power fall aside! This is a good thing! However, this will also make the two restrain each other, fight with each other, and eventually increase internal friction, and prolong the time for the review of government decrees a lot! Many measures for the benefit of the country and the people are because of the prolonged internal strife, which ultimately leads to the inability to reach the predetermined level! Therefore, the minister proposes to abolish the celebrant and the celebrant eunuch! ”

"But ......" Although Emperor Zhengde was stubborn since he was a child, he was also taught by Emperor Hongzhi since he was a child and learned a lot of imperial mental skills. I know that if you want to be stable in the court, you must know how to balance.

As Liu Jin said, the celebrant and the cabinet are mutually balanced, among which the cabinet mostly uses foreign ministers, and priority is given to both character and learning.

The celebrant is mostly a minister, that is, a eunuch. These eunuchs were castrated, a half-crippled person, helpless, like a duckweed without roots.

With the presence of the celebrant and the celebrant supervisor, the cabinet cannot sit big, and the imperial power is naturally worry-free. On the contrary, no matter how much the power of the celebrant is inflated, as long as a holy decree comes down, there will be a group of foreign ministers to clean it up, and it will not have any impact on the imperial power.

What's more, many things that are inconvenient for the royal family can be handed over to the three factories and one guard under the command of the celebrant to carry out, and in terms of royal majesty, there is no loss of half a cent.

To sum up, Emperor Zhengde will not agree to dismiss the celebrant no matter what. It's just that he is still young and lacks majesty in the court, and secondly, there are many reasons that cannot be put on the surface.

Liu Jin couldn't help frowning when he saw that Emperor Zhengde said a but, today's little emperor is really difficult to serve, he thought secretly in his heart.

At that moment, he didn't wait for Emperor Zhengde to speak, but said directly: "In fact, if you want to check and balance, you can also abolish the celebrant and supervisor! As long as you allow the old ministers and these ministers, they are also qualified to join the cabinet and expand the cabinet! In this way, the cabinet will need more votes, and naturally there will be no threat of one family dominance!"

Li Dongyang and the others couldn't see clearly what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Jin's gourd, but now Liu Jin tried to see the dagger, and they also saw it.

This Liu Jin actually fought the idea of entering the cabinet by the ministers, and finally mastering the cabinet and completely controlling all the rights of the center of the Ming court, at that moment Li Dongyang was no longer silent, and stood up directly, and said blatantly: "The old minister does not agree! What Liu Gong said is tantamount to shaking the ancestral system! You know, this cabinet vote is drafted, and the celebrant and supervisor approve the red, but it is passed down from Emperor Xuande, even if it is the first emperor, he has not been shaken by half a point, how can it be moved lightly today!"

"At this time, at that time!" Liu Jin had long thought that Li Dongyang and the others would come up with the unshakable words of the ancestral system to oppose him, so he had already thought of countermeasures, and said directly, "Take the Ningxia and Hetao incidents this time! If the right to vote and approve the red is in the cabinet, as long as the rebellion in Ningxia and Hetao is investigated, it is completely possible to dispatch troops as soon as possible to threaten the rebellion and strangle it in the cradle."

But it is precisely because of the lack of concentration of power that we have been arguing for a long time in the court. Do you know how many men and horses are enough for King An and Xu Zilong to attract in just such a little time, and what kind of momentum will they create? And how much more manpower and material resources will it take for our court to quell the rebellion?"

"These two things should not be confused!" Li Dongyang directly retorted, "The matter of Ningxia and Hetao is a local matter, not to mention whether it will rebel or not, even if it really rebels, when the heavenly soldiers arrive, it will immediately collapse." And what Liu Gong is saying now is a fundamental matter of the country, but it has nothing to do with this matter, please be cautious!"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Liu Jin smiled coldly and said, "Don't talk about anything else, Xiya Gong, you have a good relationship with King An, King An has come to Beijing several times, but he has seen you! You have been obstructing the use of force against King An, have you accepted any bribes from King An?"

"Liu Jin, don't spray people with blood!" Li Dongyang hadn't had a seizure yet, and Yang Tinghe, who had a strong temper, came out and said loudly, "Xiya Gong is high and bright, and his sleeves are breezy, how can he accept bribes! Not to mention that King An is also a vassal king who is known for his integrity, where can he get money and bribes!"

"What a vassal king who is known for his integrity!" Liu Jin said with a smile, "Then may I ask Scholar Yang, how can this incorruptible vassal king make friends with many border generals and raise many armies with bad intentions?"

While speaking, Liu Jin took out a report from his sleeve, handed it to the top of the imperial case, and said respectfully: "This is the evidence that Jinyiwei commanded Shi Wenyi to investigate King An's accumulation of military strength, please Your Majesty to take a look!"

Liu Jin had not come up with this evidence before, but it made Zhengde still believe in King An in his heart. Seeing this report at this time, he immediately picked it up, flipped through the two pages, and threw it directly in front of Li Dongyang and the two of them angrily, and roared and said: "Lord Li, Lord Yang, take a good look, this is the vassal king who is known for his honesty in your mouth?

Seeing that Liu Jin came up with conclusive evidence, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe knew that they had lost again this time, and they didn't need to read this report to know what was written on it.

After all, long before this court meeting, they already knew that King An had accumulated strength, colluded with the border generals, and prepared to start an incident. And they are also preparing to use this time, first, to overthrow Liu Jin's position in the court, and second, to strengthen the control of Qingliu civilian officials over the army.

It's just that no matter how much they knew the content of the report, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe had to pick up the report with a nervous face, carefully flipped it from beginning to end, and then apologized to Emperor Zhengde with a guilty face and said: "The ministers are ignorant, please condemn your majesty!"

"Hmph! I remember that you have been in Beijing for a long time, and it is also the right thing to be deceived by others, so I will not make a big punishment, but punish you for a year, so as to set an example!" Emperor Zhengde also knew that these two old ministers could not move, and immediately said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe glanced at each other with a wry smile, then confessed and retreated into the class.

Liu Jin saw that the leaders of these two Qingliu civil officials were also repelled by his own conclusive incriminating evidence, and immediately said happily: "Even these two erudite and talented bachelors may make mistakes, and seeing that the old minister's suggestion of abolishing the celebrant and supervising the minister, expanding the cabinet, and introducing the minister into the cabinet is correct!

"This ......" scolded Li Dongyang and the others, but Emperor Zhengde was angry in his heart, he didn't really want to abolish the celebrant and make the cabinet lose its checks and balances.

But now that he has reprimanded Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and the two scholars in public, it really proves that the cabinet has made mistakes, and Liu Jin's suggestion seems to be feasible.

At the moment, Emperor Zhengde hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to deal with it. At this time, another civil official stood up and said loudly: "The minister does not agree with Liu Gong's invitation!"

"Huh?" Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, looked over, and found that it was Cai Mao in the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this person was about thirty years old, and it was when he was in the prime of life.

Seeing this thorn popping up at this time, Liu Jin couldn't help but say quite angrily: "Cai Mao, why are you opposed!"

"The ancestral system is immutable! What's more, the eunuch and the cabinet check and balance each other, and it is a rule handed down from Emperor Xuande, so how can it be abolished in one day! Besides, just like Lord Li said, what is the relationship between this change and King An, but Liu Gong wants to do such a rebellious thing, which is no different from plotting rebellion!" Cai Mao said impassionedly.

Liu Jin saw that this Cai Mao said in public that he was plotting rebellion, and he was immediately trembling with anger, and was about to scold him and drink this Cai Mao back, but unexpectedly, more than a dozen officials came out of the class, both civil and military, and when they came to Cai Mao, they also admonished together: "The ministers seconded the proposal!"

This time, it is tantamount to slapping Liu Jin in the face in public, more than a dozen officials accuse Liu Jin together, and say that Liu Jin is plotting rebellion, if Liu Jin does not act again, I am afraid that the prestige of this court will be discredited, and there will be no more half of the right.

At that moment, he burst into a loud cheer and said, "Where is Jinyiwei!"

"In!" As soon as Liu Jin's voice fell, he saw a vote of Jinyiwei coming in outside, and the person headed by Jinyiwei was the famous executioner of Jinyiwei, Zhang Cai, the envoy of Beizhen.

Zhang Cai led a group of brocade guards to break into the Fengtian Palace, looking at a group of civil and military officials, as if a cat was watching a mouse.

Yang Tinghe also didn't expect that Cai Mao, a young official in the prime of life, would rush out and face Liu Jin directly, seeing that Zhang Cai and other Jinyi guards were called into the hall by Liu Jin at this time, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but be a little anxious, and immediately stood up and was about to speak out to defend Cai Mao and others.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jin saw Yang Tinghe stand up, and immediately looked at Yang Tinghe murderously, and without waiting for him to speak, he directly asked: "What's the matter? Lord Yang also wants to seconded these rebellious ministers, saying that the old man is plotting rebellion?"

"This ......" Yang Tinghe's heart jumped, he could see the murderous intent in Liu Jin's eyes at this time, although he knew that no matter what, Liu Jin would not be able to openly deal with himself, a cabinet minister, in this Fengtian Palace, but he was also worried by Liu Jin, and couldn't help but shake his head.
