Princess and The General

Chapter 368: Are you still not satisfied?

Views:

Early the next day.

According to the rules left by the ancestors, the rest of the Spring Festival will not be printed until after the Spring Festival, but today it is not the seventh day of the new year.

Baiguan seemed to be mentally prepared for this sudden early dynasty, all of them came earlier than usual, thinking about what the scene would be for a while, if your Majesty asks how he should respond.

Ning Chengzhi hasn't seen him for a long time.

When the Manchu dynasty was waiting anxiously for civil and military affairs, suddenly I heard a loud singing outside the hall, and the young emperor with the dragon robe and the crown came from outside the hall, followed by Grandpa Chi and two eunuchs.

All three of them held piles of memorials in their arms. The only difference was that Grandpa Chi had fewer arms, and the arms of the two eunuchs were so high that they exceeded their foreheads.

The two were cautious and extremely cautious in their actions, lest they fold the memorial to the ground.

Ning Chengzhi sat down on the golden dragon chair at the upper head and brushed the hem of his dragon robe, "Look at it, all Aiqing, they are so hard to carry these folding papers, and they are afraid of falling to the ground. I really feel distressed when I see them."

The officials underneath looked at each other, but Gu Huaijiang and Gu Shubai, father and son, were unmoved.

Your Majesty, this is... What do you mean

During the rest period, the morning dynasty was suddenly held. Is it just to tell them that the imperial palace people worked hard

The ministers were puzzled, and could only agree with him, "Yes, your majesty and the people in front of you will naturally work harder than elsewhere."

The two eunuchs carefully stacked the memorials on the royal case, but Ning Chengzhi, who had just said that they had worked so hard, suddenly threw the memorials to the ground with a wave of hands!

He opened his teeth and danced his claws, "You know that the palace people have worked so hard to move the memorial, but have you thought about how hard it is for me to look at the memorial?! So many rebellious memorials, I don't want to look at any of them! Have a great New Year!"

The ministers hurriedly bowed to plead guilty, "The ministers waited in panic."

Ning Chengzhi was unwilling and unforgiving, "Fear? I think you are not afraid! You have restrained my hands and feet several times in the name of the first emperor, and you will not agree after I am going to change the situation of the two management teams in the DPRK and neither will you. Ken. You just think I’m young and deceptive, don’t you?"

No one underneath dared to respond to his words, Ning Chengzhi vented out of breath and grunted heavily in his nose and eyes.

Gu Shubai looked up, Ji Daogong still said that he would not come back.

When the cabinet was abolished or stood upright, none of these key figures were present.

The gaze of the Manchu civil and military forces naturally turned to their father and son. At this time, only General Hou Gu Huaijiang could stand up and speak.

Gu Hou’s Mansion has long annoyed Ning Chengzhi because of his refusal to establish a post, and it has attracted a lot of suppression and suspicion. Does Gu Huaijiang still dare to speak out to dissuade Ning Chengzhi

Everyone secretly expected, waiting for Gu Huaijiang's action.

After a moment of silence, Gu Huaijiang stood up and bowed his hand upwards, "Return to your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been a king of the first generation of officials in charge of the dynasty. Some dynasties are prime ministers, some are cabinets, and two sets of teams. The coexistence will result in the ambiguity of the powers and responsibilities between North Korea and China, and one set must be abolished."

Ning Chengzhi snorted coldly, "Then which team should be abolished in Guhou's meaning?"

All the memorials in the letter urged him to abolish the prime minister and establish a cabinet for no reason. The first emperor's behavior during his reign was clearly that he no longer trusted Yin Shuo and chose to establish a cabinet to replace the prime minister.

It is a pity that the cabinet system has not yet been perfected, Yin Shuo's position as prime minister has not been abolished, and the first emperor has died.

Gu Huaijiang said: "The cabinet or the prime minister, it doesn't really matter which one is abolished."

There was a lot of discussion underneath, and even Ning Chengzhi was stunned.

No, if Gu Huaijiang was such a person who would tend to cater to the emperor, he would not have refused to let Liyu help him.

He is the iron and blood trained in the Gu family army, how can he say such ambiguous words from the steel and iron bones he has experienced on the battlefield

Gu Huaijiang looked around.

Some thought he had surrendered to Xinjun, some thought he was trying to make a trick, and some looked at him puzzled.

He turned his head and said upwards: "The minister means that whether it is the cabinet or the prime minister, the key is to see who your majesty will reuse, not which organizational system you use. The courtiers wrote to your majesty to abolish the prime minister and set up a cabinet for the first emperor. The will. Your Majesty wants to abolish the Prime Minister of the Cabinet because your Majesty trusts the Prime Minister Yin, right?"

Suddenly there was no sound in the hall.

It turns out that this is what Gu Huaijiang meant when he said it didn't matter which one was abolished!

They didn't expect that even if Ning Chengzhi abolished the prime minister and set up a cabinet, he could still make Yin Shuo the first assistant to the cabinet, without affecting the court situation he wanted.

The officials of the Central Government of the DPRK forced Ning Chengzhi to abolish the prime minister and set up a cabinet, but it was too hard to please, and it encouraged Yin Shuo's power.

Ning Chengzhi thought carefully about Gu Huaijiang's words, and secretly said why he didn't want to understand.

He doesn't have to fight against the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, as long as the prime minister is abolished and Yin Shuo is the chief assistant to the cabinet, isn't the power still in his own hands

What he wanted to do was to withdraw power from the veterans, and the status was not important.

Gu Huaijiang's words made the two camps of the monarchs and ministers in the court suddenly realize, and their hearts turned around.

He was silent for a moment, giving everyone some time to think, and then continued: "Since your majesty asked the minister which team should be abolished, the minister only talks about the establishment, not the people, what does your majesty think?"

"Okay, let's talk about the establishment!"

Ning Chengzhi had some expectations, and at the same time he secretly admired that Gu Huaijiang was really a Confucian general, capable of literary and military skills. Not to mention a military commander, even the high-ranking civil servants in the DPRK may not have his unique insights.

Gu Huaijiang continued: "The cabinet system and the prime minister system are mainly about the centralization and decentralization of power. There are seven or eight cabinets, and some dynasties even have ten cabinet veterans. In terms of stability, and the prime minister has only one person, once this person has any ambitions, the power of the Central Government is in his hands, it is inevitable to repeat the mistakes of Wang Mang."

Ning Chengzhi frowned and looked at Grandpa Chi. Grandpa Chi shook his head in embarrassment. He turned to look at Gu Huaijiang, "What does Gu Hou mean by repeating Wang Mang's mistakes?"

It turned out that he didn't know Wang Mang.

Gu Huaijiang glanced at Gu Shubai, who stood up and explained: "Your Majesty, before the establishment of the new dynasty, Wang Mang was Da Sima of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, Da Sima was the same prime minister, and he was also a one-man authoritarian."

Ning Chengzhi shuddered all over.

The prime minister usurped the throne and killed the emperor. He vaguely remembered that there was more than one such case in history books.

Yin Shuo's talent is no less than Wang Mang, if he...

Although he didn't like to care about the father and son Huaijiang, he listened to what they had just said in his heart, pondering over and over, while observing the looks of the courtiers.

After a while, he cleared his throat, his expression completely different from before.

From sullen anger to kindness, "Gu Hou was right. I was too impulsive before. Today I heard what Gu Hou said. I suddenly became clear. Gu Hou, why don’t you write me a book? If I read your book, then I won't call everyone to talk about this."

Gu Shubai frowned.

The thief shouted to catch the thief and beat him backwards.

Ning Chengzhi still sells well when he gets the bargain, but he blames Gu Huaijiang for not being able to discourage him, because he really doesn't distinguish between good and evil.

Gu Huaijiang didn't care, "The minister just thought of what to say, and didn't feel that his opinion was worthwhile. His Majesty had praised him. If he knew that his Majesty could get some inspiration from the minister's words, the minister must have written it early."

His tone was as humble as ever.

The courtiers sighed. If they didn't think their opinions had merits, Gu Hou must be angry with his majesty because of the immediate aftermath, so he dared not make any more suggestions.

Lest your majesty take the opportunity to vent his anger, instead he is determined to abolish the cabinet.

Ning Chengzhi smiled, "Since all the Aiqings have persuaded me to abolish the prime minister and establish a cabinet, it is hard for me to ignore everyone's opinions. I agree to abolish the prime minister and establish a cabinet, but-"

Everyone pricked their ears.

"However, I am not afraid of you, but respect the suggestions that are beneficial to the court. You must remember that I respect you, and you must respect my will. I do not have such a good patience, and compromise again and again!"

Ning Chengzhi took the way and threatened everyone. Gu Shubai felt ridiculous in his heart when he heard what he said.

In the final analysis, whether he accepts or refuses to adopt the suggestions is to benefit him or not, and not for the imperial court and the country's community at all.

The former cabinet veterans secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Someone asked: "Since your Majesty has decided to set up a cabinet and abolish the prime minister, he should improve the cabinet structure as soon as possible. The cabinet is empty, and the minister recommends Chen Ge to be the cabinet. First assistant!"

"The minister agrees!"

"The minister also seconded!"

Chen Ge made great contributions to the trial of the assassination of the first emperor and to find out the true culprit of the murder of the emperor and his father.

He is a well-deserved candidate for the first assistant, not only convinced by the cabinet, but also by the courtiers.

Ning Chengzhi immediately changed his expression, "I have just said it before, and I don't have such a good patience to compromise again and again. The candidate for the cabinet's first assistant is related to Jiangshan Sheji, I will definitely consider it carefully, and I don't need your recommendation for the time being!"

After speaking, he got up and flicked his sleeves, "It's all gone!"

He strode out of the Golden Palace, giving no time to the officials to answer, and only Grandpa Chi hurriedly sang the voice of retreating from the court behind him.

Gu Huaijiang looked back at Gu Shubai, and the father and son walked out one after another without telling them.

"Your Majesty still has to leave the position of the first minister of the cabinet to Yin Shuo."

"I had expected such a situation a long time ago, but it is better to make Yin Shuo the head of the cabinet with checks and balances than the prime minister..."

The father and son talked in a low voice, and after receiving the news of today's morning dynasty last night, the two talked all night.

All sorts of deductions and thousands of calculations, and finally came up with this method-to retain the cabinet, let Ning Chengzhi make Yin Shuo the cabinet's first assistant, it is better than courtiers and the king against each other, let Yin Shuo fishermen profit.

"What did you say?"

When Xiangfu received the news from the palace, Yin Shuo was lying on the couch and changing the dressing. He accidentally knocked on the wound and frowned immediately.

The servant bowed his eyebrows and did not dare to speak.

He slapped the short table hard, and the tea cup on the table made a splash and almost fell to the bed.

"Your Majesty believed Gu Huaijiang's words! There is no reason!"

The doctor changing the dressing was so frightened that his hand was stagnant, Yin Shuo waved his hand impatiently, "Go on, don't change it!"

He secretly regretted, "If my leg was injured and I couldn't go to court, I would definitely stop your majesty's thoughts today. Who knows that your majesty would not even discuss with me, and directly announce the abolition of the prime minister's cabinet. Wouldn't you let those veteran ministers divide? Take away the power in my hands?"

If the cabinet has a first assistant, there must be a second assistant, as well as ordinary cabinet ministers.

Not to mention that the second assistant's power is second only to the first assistant, and even ordinary cabinet ministers can influence the cabinet's decisions. He anticipates that his various actions in the future will be constrained.

Maybe it was God's will. He helped Yu hurt his leg, but because of the leg injury, he didn't go up, but he let Gu Huaijiang and his son take the opportunity to get back a round.

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

Seeing that the medicine for his leg injury had been changed halfway, the servant wanted to persuade him to change it before entering the palace. Seeing that his brows were frowning, he dared not say anything, so he trot out and ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair.

Not long after, a large scarlet sedan chair was carried into the palace gate, attracting people's attention.

Meng Fei, who was standing on the palace wall, looked down and said, "Huh, Lord Gu has long been granted the privilege of the Emperor Xian and can go directly into the palace by carriage, but he has never used such privileges in the past few decades. Yin Shuo is good. , Just get the privilege and use it as a family, for fear that others will not know that he is the celebrity in front of your majesty!"

The young general on the side persuaded: "Master, just say a few words, that's Prime Minister Yin!"

The three words "Prime Minister Yin" are equivalent to high position and power-not easy to provoke.

Meng Fei didn't care, "A frivolous young man who is good at manipulating power and tricks. Which one of my eyes can see him? Only a person like Gu Houye deserves my respect. No matter how honorable Yin Shuo is!

The young general looked around and lowered his voice, "My commander, you call Prime Minister Yin by the name, what can you do if someone hears you?"

"Hear it!"

Meng Fei shouted even more loudly, "Your Majesty has made an order to set up a cabinet and abolish the prime minister. He is no longer the prime minister. Why can't I even call him by his name?"

He is in his thirties, so is he still respectful of a young man who is a fledgling young man

The young general said: "Don't you know the general? The palace is saying that although your majesty has abolished the position of prime minister, he wants to let Prime Minister Yin continue to serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet. But what is the difference? "

Yin Shuo hurried into the imperial study room, and the servant pushed the wheelchair quickly, for fear of being reprimanded by him for pushing.

Hearing the sound of the wheels, Ning Chengzhi raised his head and laughed, "I knew you were going to enter the palace, how about it? Scared?"

Yin Shuo's expression was cold: "Does your majesty distrust the ministers? Why did your majesty directly decide such a big matter without discussing it with the ministers?"

Ning Chengzhi thought he was worried because of the abolition of the prime minister, so he said: "Don't worry, I will keep you the position of the first minister of the cabinet. I will make an announcement after the photocopy of the Shangyuan Festival!"

Yin Shuo's complexion did not ease, this was just what he expected.

Ning Chengzhi suddenly understood that what he wanted was to abolish the cabinet and establish a prime minister, and to control the power of the DPRK in his own hands instead of sharing it with the cabinet ministers.

Gu Huaijiang's words about decentralization and centralization continued to appear in his mind, and Gu Shubai's Wang Mang's things made him frightened every time he thought of it.

He suddenly said with a serious face: "Why? I asked you to be the first minister of the cabinet, are you still not satisfied?"
