- People were coming and going at the door of the Ai family's mansion, and most of their words were spoken in northern rhymes. Occasionally, I saw people bending their knees and lowering their arms, but the other party didn't dare to accept it and quickly greeted them.
Seeing the lively scene from the screen wall in the courtyard, Ai Hongli said worriedly: "We shouldn't have made such a big noise. It would be a big deal to attract the Jinyi Guards of Anguo Academy."
Jin Yinzhen, who had gray hair on one side, shook his head and said: "Jin Yiwei has been watching. Rather than causing undercurrents and making them suspicious, it is better to be more open and aboveboard. Besides, let alone the fourth brother's identity in the past, this world is so vast. , he is also a figure who can touch the hearts of thousands of people. He is secretive. Doesn¡¯t this make everyone feel that we are still holding on to the past in our hearts? Oh, Lao Song is here"
Lao Song, the director of "Zhongliu Daily", appeared with "Zhengtong" and other newspaper dignitaries, handed Jin Yinqi and Ai Hongli face to face, and said comfortingly: "Mr. Ai has been advocating the country's justice and filling the gaps in political knowledge for the government for thirty years. Just like one day, the merits are immeasurable, this time the danger will be turned into safety, and you will be safe and sound."
Ai Hongli sighed: "My father is lying in bed due to illness, and he is still worried about the government's situation, and has been nagging about the choice of prime minister"
Everyone sighed, who is not worried?
Deep in the house, Ai Yinzhen was lying on the bed, still talking non-stop: "The Prime Minister Dai Zhen is good at magic, but lacks human relations in writing, let alone the ability to reconcile yin and yang. The Prime Minister Yuan Shitai is stable and capable, and is good at military and political affairs. It is a pity that He only took over the Privy Council last year, and there is no way he can take another step forward. The prime minister has never been the path to the prime minister, and Wang Youdun will be seventy next year. The others are either too old or too young, and the prime minister is also in Zuo Duyu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Choose from Shi Yang Junli, Cheng Yingde, the censor of Youdu, He Guozong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Xiang Shanzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Law, and Zheng Xie, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs"
"Zheng Xie has bad personal integrity. He Guozong has served as a Manchu official in the north and has a bad background. It is impossible for the two of them. Then there are only three Yang Chengxiang. But the three of them are old ministers of the emperor and have the ability to protect the old situation. There is no courage to start a new game. The situation in the country is advancing rapidly. There is a turmoil both inside and outside. The prime minister must not just nod his head! The emperor has not spoken for a long time, and I am afraid he is hesitant. It is a pity that the Song Dynasty Prime Minister was an excellent choice, but he also suffered The Prime Minister¡¯s Curse¡¡±
The middle-aged red-coated general guarding the bed was Fu Heng. Looking at his epaulettes, he was already a lieutenant general. He said with some fear: "These matters are not for us warriors to deal with. Fourth Master, don't say more. But"
His expression turned helpless again: "The curse of our Great British Prime Minister is really effective."
Since Yinghua established the system of selecting prime ministers and returned the government to the prime minister, Yinghua Prime Minister has become synonymous with bad luck. The first prime minister Xue Xue died in his second term, and Chen Wance, who served for another three years at an age of nearly eighty, also died in office. The third prime minister, Ba Xuqi, worked for a little longer, but he could not complete the process during his second term. In the seventh year, he recovered from his illness, and then Song Ji followed.
Song was not only known as a great sage, but also in charge of government affairs in Jiangnan and Bengal. He was both talented at home and abroad, and the whole country had high hopes for him. I didn't expect that my term was not over yet. It collapsed in the fourth year. The important ministers of the political affairs hall are in their prime. As Yin Zhen said, those who can take over are the founding veterans and lack of courage. Now that Yinghua has been fully immersed in this world, we need talented and enlightened people who have grown up in this world. new situation.
Although Yin Zhen fell ill, he was still full of energy and said sadly: "Where did this prime minister's curse come from? It's just that one link is missing! Most of the efforts of previous prime ministers were spent on competing interests, especially dealing with the two houses. You have to pull and fight at the same time. Doing a big thing is as tiring as crossing a mountain of knives, and you will die of exhaustion even if you are angry!"
His eyes were bright and he said: "The prime minister should have a group of people behind him to help him, and the prime minister should have more power. Otherwise, how can he cope with the changes of the times? The Tibetan and Mongolian affairs, the disputes between provinces, the difference between the north and the south, these things We can¡¯t rely on the emperor to support us, the prime minister should take over everything!¡±
Then he said regretfully: "Last year I advocated connecting the courtyards. Only by opening up the two chambers and the political hall can the prime minister truly stand up. But those who oppose me are right. Just connecting the courtyards will not work. The two chambers are lions." , if there is a tiger in the political hall, there must be a way to prevent them from hugging each other tightly."
"How to prevent it? The best way is to tear down the walls of the courtyard and open up the connection between the courtyard and the Chinese people. But how to do it, I really can't think of a perfect way"
At the same time, Li Wei said: "Master, the doctor said, you can't hurt your mind anymore."
Fu Heng also said: "Fourth Master, don't worry. The emperor is still here, and there is also the prince. They will definitely take care of whatever Fourth Master is worried about."
Yin Zhen gasped and said: "Emperor? The emperor is becoming more and more 'wise and powerful'! How did the Tibetan-Mongolian rebellion come about? Didn't he insist on stripping away the power of the Panchen Lama and Diba? Treat Uzang as other provinces? What about the Liu Lun case? There was no need to make such a big fuss. He had to do the Qing Temple across the country! He increasingly believed that without him watching, the world would not be on the right track. Not only did he not give more power to the prime minister, but he also gradually seized power"
? ?Nomination, you can¡¯t sit back and watch this matter stalemate! As an official, you are really very versatile. You only know how to abide by the rules and do your duty, but don't think about the overall situation! Or is it to avoid suspicion and regard this matter as a battlefield for people's hearts?
Yinghua has the prime minister's curse, but no one who wants to be an official wants to be the prime minister, whether it is for public or selfish reasons. But this aspect is becoming more and more serious. Traditionally in China, there is rarely a practice of self-recommendation. On the contrary, whoever comes forward is suspected of fighting for power. To show his innocence, the emperor has not appointed the prime minister in recent months. No one in the political hall dared to go to the emperor to say this. thing.
Seeing that all the important ministers in the circle were like turtles, Li Kezai said: "If you don't mention it, I will mention it! It's unfair for me to take charge of this whole thing in the political hall!"
Li Kezai is still the deputy chief of staff of the General Headquarters, and his military rank has been promoted to admiral. He has to be centrally planning for the war in Europe, the war in Persia, and the war in East Asia. But when the emperor was seriously ill last year, he was given the title of "Prince Supervisor of the Country". Since then, he has been required to attend regular meetings of the Political Hall every ten days, as well as the general political meetings of the two houses and the summary meeting of the Grand Tribunal every month.
Of course, he was an audience member at these meetings, and in Zhengshi Hall, when Song Ji was still there, he was even more of a Bodhisattva statue. Now that Song has recovered from his illness, he is temporarily taking over as prime minister in name, but he knows very well that he cannot and should not take on this task.
Zhou Huang, the forty-two-year-old Minister of the Ministry of Commerce, agreed: "It's not a bad idea for Your Highness to urge you"
Before he finished speaking, other veterans tried to dissuade him.
"Your Highness, be careful"
"If Your Highness makes a nomination, it will hinder justice."
"Who knows if His Highness has nominated me? It's better not to say anything."
Zhou Huang sighed helplessly, Li Kezai also touched his forehead and groaned secretly, "Father, what are you thinking about?"
Logically speaking, the Zhengshitang is in charge of state affairs, and important ministers will never be so irresponsible. But after the Northern Expedition, the power of the Holy Emperor became more and more powerful. Over the past ten years, various measures have been taken to regain power.
The emperor did not directly reduce the power of the Political Affairs Hall and the two houses of government, but on the one hand, he tightened his grip on military power, and on the other hand, he deepened his control over the country from all aspects. Taking charge of the Anguo Courtyard is just one thing. Although the Jin Yiwei is not as arrogant and domineering as it was in the Ming Dynasty, it has gradually become the emperor's personal minions.
The emperor often sent Jin Yiwei to directly investigate people he disliked and things he couldn't understand. Jin Yiwei did not have the power to torture, but they often threw materials directly to the Ministry of Punishment, Law Department and even the court, which meant that the emperor wanted to see the results immediately. Sometimes time is tight, and the relevant yamen have to pinch their noses, just to figure out the emperor's intention and get things done quickly.
The emperor did not disrupt the affairs of the government, but he often interfered directly in some details, which made the political hall quite uncomfortable. Moreover, the prime ministers were able to mediate and withstand the emperor and not disrupt the rules. However, the officials were even more afraid of the emperor. The prime minister is not here, so we don't dare to act rashly.
In the past ten years or so, the emperor has also caused many troubles, such as the handling of Uszang. He insisted on building on the foundation of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, urgently building a new province, and transferring political power from the Panchen Lama. And the Tibetan Diba took it back. However, it was difficult to live in Tibet, and the provincial government offices where they were stationed turned their backs on them, eventually causing trouble. The trouble then spread from Tibet to the Mongols in Qinghai and Monnan and Mobei.
Of course, it was not so chaotic that the Tibetan and Mongolian people raised their troops, but the gathering of countless civil cases was not a small movement for Yinghua, who was peaceful in the world.
In addition, when the provinces were divided, the emperor intervened to force too many allocations to the rich provinces. When Liu Lun, the chief priest of the Tianmiao patrol, triggered the Mengxue primary school education case, the emperor's attitude was tough. The political affairs hall and even the two houses increasingly felt that the emperor was giving him Trick or treat. But who among them dared to say "go aside" to the emperor?
" Two years ago, the two empresses passed away. The emperor fell seriously ill, and with the outbreak of the Great War, the emperor's attention turned to military affairs. Only then did the two chambers and the Political Affairs Hall feel that the heavy pressure on their chests was gone, and they could finally breathe easier.
It's just that when the emperor needs to stand up again now, the emperor is actually silent. Although everyone is anxious, they don't dare to show it on their faces. They can't figure out what the emperor's plan is. Since they can't figure out, then they can follow the previous twenty or thirty years. Just the same, just wait and see what the emperor will do next.
The regular meeting had to turn to specific government affairs. It was busy for most of the day, and the meeting was temporarily adjourned at 1:30 in the afternoon.
The ministers rushed to the small canteen of the Political Affairs Hall. Zhou Huang was also walking when he was stopped by someone. He was the general affairs envoy stationed in the east courtyard.
I don¡¯t know what the general envoy said. Zhou Huang hesitated for a while before leaving the political affairs hall and ran to a resting place between the east courtyard and the political affairs hall.
It was a casual teahouse, and several people had been waiting here for a long time. They met a table of people, and the two tourists behind them also sat down at the next table a little further away. While ordering tea, his eyes quietly fell on the people at the table.
¡°The minister secretly met with the council members, and I don¡¯t know what he had planned!¡±
"That's Liu Lun! I'm going to tell Dr. Tea how to fix his ears."
The eyes of these two Anguoyuan spies suddenly lit up, big case!
When he was excited, he saw Zhou Huang suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "How could this happen! This is forming a clique to seek power!" To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
