    Faced with everyone's confusion, Xu Qian said: "Your Majesty is young and not suitable for government. The first problem anyone encounters when in power is as the Empress Dowager worried, that is, the problem of someone plotting something evil. " "If someone is plotting something evil,  , seizing power and monopolizing everything, what should we do?  " "So I think that in the Ming Dynasty, there should be neither a regent nor the empress dowager appointing ministers to the cabinet, but should be publicly recommended, that is, all officials of the ninth rank and above, as well as people from all over the country, should write letters to select Hanlin officials.  When a bachelor or one to three officials from the six ministries join the cabinet, whoever is more popular with the officials or the people in the world will be allowed to serve in the cabinet for eight years and preside over the affairs of the world. In this way, not only can the name be justified, but the cabinet ministers recommended are often the same.  Wouldn't it be a good idea to let these people assist the emperor when everyone expects him to do so?  " Although the Empress Dowager Wang is thoughtful, it does not mean that she has too much knowledge. Seeing that Xu Qian's words are nice, she just thinks it makes sense. After all, there is still something wrong with her choice. After all, she  It is not good for a woman to be the regent. Instead of doing this, it is better to elect him and supervise him. As long as there is no trouble, she is very impressed with Xu Qian. If he wants to join the cabinet, it is almost easy.  He refused and instead asked for public recommendation. In fact, the Ming Dynasty had already had a public recommendation system. For example, when choosing cabinet ministers, the emperor already had a candidate in mind, but he still had to hold a court meeting for everyone to discuss and judge which one was better.  , if the person you like is opposed by too many people, even if the emperor wants to force this gentleman to join the cabinet, most of the time this gentleman will not have the shame to hang around in the cabinet. Of course, the famous cotton player Liu Ji and Zhang Fuking are like this  Only this time, Xu Qian expanded the so-called public recommendation method and allowed more people to participate. There are at least tens of thousands of officials in the world, representing almost the entire country.  The bureaucratic class and the scholar-official class of the Ming Dynasty were the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said without any secret that the emperor and the scholar-officials rule the world together. The latter's so-called scholar-officials are undoubtedly these people. Many people are active.  Few people looked at Xu Qian with admiration, and even Chen Xin became less hostile towards Xu Qian. Although he knew that Xu Qian did this to ease the conflict, the person named Xu was clearly a gambler, and he finally got to this point.  The cabinet is certain, but people are not sure and want to make a public recommendation, and the number of the old party is obviously more than that of the new party. If it is a public recommendation, it is still uncertain whether Xu Qian can join the cabinet.  Xu Qian was playing with fire, and he was playing it very seriously and ethically. But from another perspective, it greatly eased the tense situation. Everyone was already desperate and nervous.  , are all afraid, are waiting and waiting, and are wondering when to take action. It is natural to be afraid. Everyone is afraid. It¡¯s okay if you succeed. If you don¡¯t succeed, you will die without a burial place, and there will be no mud for you.  Most of the time, it¡¯s work that requires you to lose your head. It¡¯s understandable to be nervous. Your opponent should not be underestimated. You are facing a tiger and a hungry wolf. If you make a mistake, you will be dead. But now Xu Qian is telling you.  , Forget it, let¡¯s not fight so hard, let¡¯s fight, and whoever wins will take the stage. So, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no need to fight hard anymore, it turned out that we can solve the existing conflicts without fighting hard, even if someone loses by then.  It's a shame, but at least now, everyone will put all their thoughts into this recommendation. Since we can choose to use other methods to contain the new party, try to push people from the old party into the cabinet, and try to pull people from the new party out.  Then why not do it, why bother to go all out, and the biggest benefit of this method is that although it is nonsense, in a sense, it avoids the possibility of a fight between two interest groups using the most primitive means.  . ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Let¡¯s recommend it!  Since Xu Qian was talking about all the officials and officials, many people gained confidence. The old party headed by Chen Xin also felt that it had a lot to do and could use its fists. As long as the old party could control the cabinet, the New Deal would be able to contain it.  live.  Without saying a word, Chen Xin stood up and said, "I think this method is good, but I still need to ask the Empress Dowager for approval." With him taking the lead, the old party members naturally began to calculate how many disciples and old officials they had, and  There were so many fellow villagers who could bring in so many memorials, but they couldn¡¯t help but feel eager to give it a try, saying one after another: ¡°I also think this is a very appropriate move.¡± The New Party members were obviously a little unhappy, but it was Xu Qian who proposed it.  Yes, but there is nothing we can do.  There is a reason for their dissatisfaction. Although there are many candidates in Zhejiang Province, the entire new party, including all officials and candidates, can account for 30% of the world. This is an obvious disadvantage. In order to prevent the old party from controlling  Chao Gang, everyone worked hard and did everything.Then, and now, it is actually recommended publicly. Isn¡¯t this unnecessary?  The new party has one advantage over the old party. Precisely because there are fewer new ones, it is easier to unite. Now that Xu Qian has spoken, everyone has nothing to say, and they all say: "I also second the proposal."  Said: "Okay, let's do this. This is a good idea. After all, the Ai family is a woman. Since you all think it's appropriate, just do it like this." "But." Mrs. Wang is not stupid at all.  The people below are making nonsense: "The candidates recommended by the public still have to be reported to the palace. If the palace feels that it is inappropriate, it should not be approved." This is an insurance, the palace must have veto power, although this veto  Quan is generally not used, but it is also a means to restrain courtiers.  Today the old and new parties have reached a rare agreement, and the next step is to discuss some details. This is the Ming Dynasty, there are no trains, and transportation is not convenient. Even if tens of thousands of people recommend it, it is not easy to implement it.  .  The first problem is when to start and when to end.  Xu Qian had already prepared a plan and said: "Your Majesty is about to ascend the throne. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the cabinet cannot be without a prime minister for a day. So what I mean is, starting in three days, within a month, starting tomorrow,  Immediately spread the word to the world, and within one month, as long as the official and judicial memorials are delivered to the capital, they will be counted. One person will recommend at most three candidates. The person with the most public recommendations will be the first assistant, the second will be the second assistant, and the third will be the second assistant.  Right, what do you think?" Chen Xin couldn't think of a better way at this time, so he could only follow Xu Qian's method.  Xu Qian added: "Also, once the ministers are elected, as long as the palace nods, they will immediately join the cabinet to work. From then on, all government orders will be communicated to the world. If someone cheats, then it will be regarded as rebellion. This matter  The matter must be explained clearly first." Chen Xin nodded decisively: "Yes, I think so too. If anyone dares to draw a lottery after the public recommendation, everyone in the world will punish him." What he fears most is the person named Xu.  It doesn't matter.  The others nodded in agreement.  The ensuing court discussion suddenly became relaxed. At least compared to the tense situation just now, it was obviously a bit abnormal and even a bit enjoyable. Although everyone had their own agendas, they all looked good.  When the discussion was almost over, Xu Qian drafted the edict in person. After the ministers reviewed it, he handed it over to Wang for review. Wang nodded, ordered someone to stamp it, and spread it around.  Chen Xin and others also breathed a sigh of relief and left one after another. They obviously had a lot to arrange.  It was Xu Qian who was stopped by Wang.  After everyone turned away, Wang glanced at Xu Qian with a complex look: "You are really invisible." Xu Qian said, "What can't you see through?" Wang smiled and said, "It's nothing, you are a loyal minister.  , go down, go to the palace more in the future, and talk to the Ai family. They all say that the emperor is a loner, and so is the Ai family. Her husband died when she was a concubine, and her son died when she became the empress dowager. Alas  " She sighed heavily.  Xu Qian bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is also His Highness the King of Zhongshan." Wang gave Xu Qian a deep look: "No, in addition to His Highness the King of Zhongshan, there are brothers in the Ai family, and you. You are His Majesty's most intimate person.  , The Ai family now knows why the emperor regards him as his brother." Xu Qian smiled and left.  As soon as he left the palace, Xu Qian was immediately grabbed by Zhang Zilin and the others. Zhang Zilin was worried. There was no way he could survive this day. Everyone worked hard to let Xu Qian control the court. In the end, there was no public recommendation.  Xu Qian knew that they wanted him to explain, so he nodded and said, "Why don't you go sit at the house and I will be able to explain it to everyone." Zhang Zilin and others nodded, and each got on the sedan chair. When they arrived at Xu's house,  When the guests sat down in the hall, Xu Qian said straightforwardly: "In this recommendation, I must be the first assistant. As for this assistant, I think it is 80% likely to fall into our hands. There are two in the cabinet, and there are two.  The first and second positions, we should be in power together." Zhang Zilin said: "This is not necessarily the case. Xu Butang must not forget that the number of the new party is not dominant, or even only 30% of the old party. What I am worried about is.  , once people like Chen Xin take control of the government, it will be detrimental to the New Deal sooner or later. Xu Butang, the Empress Dowager has clearly appointed you to join the cabinet, why don't you refuse?" Xu Qian smiled: "Although I joined the cabinet in advance, but  Let me ask you, with my current qualifications, will this chief minister have anything to do with me after the emperor ascends the throne? This question made Zhang Zilin fall. Chapter 1 is here, please give me your monthly vote.
