v2.Chapter 220

The next morning.

According to the rule left by the previous generation, the Spring Festival holiday will not start until after the Shangyuan Festival, but now it is only the seventh day of the lunar new year.

It seems that all the officials are psychologically prepared for this sudden early court. They all come earlier than usual. They are thinking about what the scene will be for a while. If your majesty asks how to deal with it.

Ning Chengzhi has not seen him for a long time.

Just when the Manchu Dynasty was anxious, he heard a loud singing outside the hall. The young emperor of the Dragon Robe and Liuguan strode in from outside the hall, followed by Duke Chi and two little eunuchs.

The only difference is that there are fewer memorials in Mr. Chi's arms, and the two eunuchs' arms are higher than their foreheads.

They were very careful, and their movements were very careful, for fear that they would drop the memorial to the ground.

Ning Chengzhi sat down in the first Golden Dragon chair and brushed the bottom of the Dragon Robe. "You Aiqing, look at how hard they work to carry these folds. They are afraid that they will fall to the ground. I am really distressed to see them."

All the ministers looked at each other, only Gu huaijiang and Gu Shubai were not moved.

Your majesty, this is What do you mean by that?

During the rest period, the early court was held suddenly. Was it just to tell them that the palace people in front of the emperor worked hard?

The ministers didn't understand the meaning, so they could only accost, "yes, the people in front of your Majesty's Imperial Palace are more bitter than others."

The two eunuchs carefully stacked the memorials on the imperial case. Unexpectedly, they just said that they worked hard for Ning Chengzhi. Suddenly, they all fell to the ground with a wave of their hands!

He said, "you know how hard it is for the palace people to move the memorials. Have you ever thought how hard it is for me to see the memorials?"?! I don't want to see a single copy of so many things that have gone against me! If you don't let me have a good Chinese new year, I won't let you have a good Chinese New Year! "

The ministers bowed themselves to plead guilty and said, "I'm afraid."

Ning Chengzhi is reluctant to give up, "panic? I think you are confident! In the name of the former Emperor, you have bound my hands and feet for several times. You are not willing to change the situation of the two sets of management groups in the central court if I want to establish a post. You just see that I am young and deceiving, don't you? "

There is no one dare to respond to his words, Ning Chengzhi out of gas, nose eyes heavily hum a.

Gu Shubai looked up, Ji Daogong still said he was ill, Chen Ge was not cured, and Yin Shuo didn't come to court because he hurt his leg.

Whether the cabinet is abolished or at attention is a critical moment, but none of these key figures is there.

The man Dynasty's eyes naturally turned to their father and son. At this time, the only one who could stand up and speak was general Gu huaijiang.

Gu Houfu's refusal to establish the empress has long angered Ning Chengzhi, which has aroused a lot of pressure and suspicion. Does Gu huaijiang dare to dissuade Ning Chengzhi now?

People secretly expect, waiting for Gu huaijiang's action.

After a moment's silence, Gu huaijiang stood up and gave his hand to his majesty. "Since ancient times, there has been a king in charge of the court. Some dynasties are prime ministers, and some dynasties are cabinet. The coexistence of two sets of leading bodies will lead to unclear powers and responsibilities in the court, and one set must be abolished. "

Ning Chengzhi snorted coldly, "which group should be abolished according to the meaning of Gu Hou?"

All the memorials in the letter advised him to abolish the prime minister and set up the cabinet for no other reason. When the former Emperor was in power, it was clear that he no longer trusted Yin Shuo, so he chose to set up a cabinet to replace the prime minister.

Unfortunately, the cabinet system is not perfect, Yin Shuo's prime minister has not been abolished, and the former Emperor has died.

Gu huaijiang said: "it doesn't matter which cabinet or prime minister to abolish."

There was a lot of discussion at the bottom, even Ning Chengzhi was stunned.

No, if Gu huaijiang was such a person who would worship and cater to the king, he would not have refused to take the jade support as his post.

He is the iron blood trained in Gu's army, and the iron strength trained in the battlefield. How can he say such ambiguous words?

Gu huaijiang looks around.

Some people think that he has surrendered to Xinjun, others think that he is trying to use some tricks, and others look at him with a puzzled face.

He turned his head and said, "I mean, whether it's the cabinet or the prime minister, the key is to see who your majesty wants to use instead of what kind of system. The courtiers wrote to his majesty to abolish the prime minister and establish the cabinet for the purpose of the emperor's will. Your majesty wants to abolish the cabinet and establish prime minister because he trusts Prime Minister Yin, doesn't he? "

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Gu huaijiang said that it doesn't matter which one to abolish!

Why didn't they think that even if Ning Chengzhi abolished the prime minister's cabinet, Yin Shuo could still be made the first assistant of the cabinet, without affecting the court situation he wanted.

Zhongzheng officials forced Ning Chengzhi to abolish the prime minister and set up the cabinet, but they were hard to please, which encouraged the power of Yin Shuo.

Ning Chengzhi thought carefully about Gu huaijiang's words. He secretly said that he didn't understand.

He didn't have to fight against all the officials in the court. As long as he abolished the prime minister and let Yin Shuo be the first assistant of the cabinet, the power was still in his own hands?

What he wants to do is to take back the power from those old ministers. Fame doesn't matter.

Gu huaijiang's words made the two camps of monarch and minister in the court suddenly realize, and their hearts began to turn.He was silent for a moment, gave people some time to think, and then continued: "since your majesty asked me which group of officials should be abolished, I only talked about organizational system, not about people. What do you think of your majesty?"

"OK, let's talk about the organizational system!"

Ning Chengzhi had some expectations. At the same time, he sighed in his heart that Gu huaijiang was really a Confucian general, capable of writing and fighting. Not to mention being a military general, even the high-ranking civil servants in the court may not have his own opinions.

Gu huaijiang continued: "the cabinet system and Prime Minister system mainly lie in centralization and decentralization. There are seven or eight cabinet members and even ten cabinet members in some dynasties. The separation of powers, mutual checks and balances, and mutual supervision are more stable for the stability of his Majesty's country and Dongling's country. And there is only one prime minister. If this person has any different intention, he will have the power of the court. It's hard to avoid repeating Wang Mang's mistake. "

Ning Chengzhi frowned and looked at Duke Chi. Duke Chi shook his head in embarrassment. He had to turn to Gu huaijiang and said, "what's the meaning of Gu Hou's so-called repetition of Wang Mang's mistake?"

He didn't know Wang Mang.

Gu huaijiang took a look at Gu Shubai, who stood up and explained: "Your Majesty, before the establishment of the new dynasty, Wang Mang was the great Sima of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, the great Sima was the same as the prime minister, and he was also the sole ruler."

Ning Chengzhi shivered all over.

The prime minister usurped the throne and killed the king. He vaguely remembers that there is more than one such case in history books.

Yan Shuo is no less talented than Wang Mang. If he

Although he didn't like to take care of huaijiang father and son, he listened to what they had just said and thought about it repeatedly. While thinking about it, he observed the faces of the courtiers.

After a while, he cleared his throat and looked totally different.

From sullen to kind, "what Marquis Gu said is right. I was too impulsive before. Today, I suddenly became enlightened after listening to what Marquis Gu said. Marquis Gu, why don't you write me a fold? If I had read your fold, I would not have summoned you to come here

Gu Shubai frowned.

A thief shouts to catch a thief.

Ning Chengzhi is a good seller when he gets a good price. Instead, he blames Gu huaijiang for not persuading him. He really doesn't distinguish between good and evil.

Gu huaijiang didn't care. "I just thought of what to say. I didn't think my opinion had merit. It was your Majesty's praise. If you had known that your majesty could get some inspiration from me, I would have written to you in the morning. "

His tone was as modest as ever.

The courtiers were very sorry. They didn't think their opinions had merit. Marquis Gu must have angered his majesty because of the empress, so he didn't dare to put forward any more suggestions.

In case your majesty takes the opportunity to vent his anger, he is determined to abolish the cabinet.

Ning Chengzhi said with a smile, "since all your love ministers have advised me to abolish the prime minister and establish a cabinet, it's not easy for me to ignore everyone's opinions. I agree to abolish the prime minister and set up a cabinet, but - "

people raise their ears.

"However, I am not afraid of you, but I respect the suggestions that are beneficial to the imperial court. You should remember that I respect you and you should respect my will. I don't have the patience to compromise again and again

Ning Chengzhi threatens the people along the way. Gu Shubai secretly feels ridiculous when he listens to what he says.

In the final analysis, what he adopted or did not adopt suggestions was to his advantage, not for the sake of the imperial court and the country.

Some of the former cabinet elders breathed a sigh of relief. Someone asked, "since your majesty has decided to establish a cabinet and abolish the prime minister, it is time to improve the cabinet system as soon as possible. The position of the chief and assistant of the cabinet is vacant. I recommend Mr. Chen Ge as the chief and assistant of the cabinet! "

"I agree!"

"I also agree!"

Mr. Chen Ge made great contributions to the trial of the case of the assassination of the late emperor and the investigation of the real murderer of the king and his father. From then on, the cabinet took Mr. Chen Ge as its leader.

He is worthy of the first assistant candidate, not only the cabinet members, but also the courtiers.

Ning Chengzhi immediately changed his face, "I have just said that I don't have so good patience to compromise again and again. The choice of the cabinet's chief assistant is related to the country. I will certainly consider it carefully. I don't need your recommendation for the time being! "

Then he got up and brushed his sleeve, "it's all gone!"

He strode out of the golden hall without giving any time for the ministers to answer. Behind him, Yu Chi's father-in-law was in a hurry to sing the voice of retreating.

Gu huaijiang looks back at Gu Shubai, and the father and son go out one by one.

"In the end, your majesty will leave the position of cabinet head to Yin Shuo."

"I had expected such a situation for a long time, but it's better for Yin Shuo to become the first assistant of the cabinet with checks and balances than the prime minister with only one person..."

Father and son talked in a low voice. Last night, after receiving the news from today's morning court, they talked all night.

After all kinds of deduction and calculation, we finally came up with this method: to retain the cabinet, let Ning Chengzhi set Yin Shuo as the first assistant of the cabinet, which is better than the opposition between the court and the king, and let Yin Shuo make a profit.

"What did you say?"

The prime minister received the news from the palace, Yin Shuo half lying on the couch to change his dressing, accidentally knocked the wound, and frowned immediately.

The servant bowed his brow and did not dare to speak.He clapped on the short table, and the tea cups on the table almost fell to the couch.

"Your Majesty believed Gu huaijiang's words! That's ridiculous

The doctor who changed the dressing was so scared that his hand stagnated. Yin Shuo waved impatiently, "go down, there's no need to change it!"

He secretly regretted in his heart, "if I had not been injured in my leg and could not go to court, I would have stopped your Majesty's idea today. Who knows that your majesty did not even discuss with me, and directly announced the abolition of the prime minister and the establishment of the cabinet in the court. Would you not let those old ministers take away the power in my hands? "

If a cabinet has a first assistant, it must have a second assistant, as well as ordinary cabinet officials.

Not to mention that the power of the second assistant is second only to that of the first assistant, even ordinary cabinet ministers can control the decisions of the cabinet. He expects that his future actions will be constrained.

Maybe it was God's will that he hurt his leg for Yu. He didn't go to court because of the leg injury, but Gu huaijiang and his son took the opportunity to pull back the game.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he was. "Come on, prepare the sedan chair. I want to enter the palace!"

When the servant saw that half of the medicine for his leg injury had been changed, he wanted to persuade him to change it before entering the palace. When he saw that his brow was tight and he didn't dare to talk much, he trotted out and ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair.

Not long after, a large red sedan chair was carried into the palace gate to attract people's attention.

Meng Fei, who was standing on the wall of the palace, looked down and said, "hum, marquis Gu has long been granted the privilege of the former Emperor. He can take a horse directly into the palace, but he has never used such privilege in recent decades. Yan Shuo was so good that he got the privilege and used it all day long, for fear that others would not know that he was the red man in front of his majesty! "

The little general on the side advised: "big commander, say a few words, that's Prime Minister Yin!"

The three words of Yin prime minister are equivalent to the position of high power - not easy to provoke.

Meng Fei didn't care. "What a frivolous young man is good at is playing tricks. Which eye of mine can see him? Only a person like Marquis Gu is worthy of my respect. No matter how noble Yin Shuo is, he is not worthy of his name! "

The young general looked around and lowered his voice, "my commander, you call Prime Minister Yin's name directly. What can I do if someone hears you?"

"Hear it, hear it!"

Meng Fei got louder. "Your Majesty has ordered the cabinet to abolish the prime minister. He is no longer the prime minister. Why can't I call him by his name?"

He is more than thirty years old. Is he still respectful to a young man?

The young general said, "don't you know the big commander? It was said in the palace that although his majesty abolished the position of prime minister, he wanted Prime Minister Yin to continue to be the first assistant of the cabinet. What's the difference between pulling up a radish and changing it into a pit? "

……

Yan Shuo rushed into the imperial study, and the servant quickly pushed the wheelchair for fear of being reprimanded by him.

When Ning Chengzhi heard the sound of the wheel, he raised his head and laughed, "I knew you would enter the palace. How about that? Scared? "

Yan Shuo's face was cold: "Your Majesty doesn't believe in me? Why did your majesty decide such a big matter directly without consulting his ministers? "

Ning Chengzhi thought that he was worried about the abolition of the prime minister, so he said, "don't worry, I'll keep the position of the Prime Minister for you. I'll make an announcement after the copy of the Shangyuan festival begins."

Yan Shuo's face did not soften, which was just what he expected.

Ning Chengzhi suddenly understood that what he wanted was to abolish the cabinet and establish the prime minister, to control the power of the court in his own hands, not to share it with all the cabinet ministers.

Gu huaijiang's words about decentralization and centralization of power constantly appear in his mind. Gu Shubai's story about Wang Mang makes him even more frightened when he thinks about it.

He suddenly said, "what? I asked you to be the head and assistant of the cabinet. Are you not satisfied? "

Yan Shuo was subdued, ha ha ha, ha ha, we all answered yesterday's question correctly, ha ha, it's a pity that we can only reward Xiaoxiang's little cute, Tencent can't reward him, and we don't even have permission to comment on the Administrator
