v2.Chapter 220 (1/2)
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.
