The 'immortal master' that Wu Youwei was waiting for never came, and at the same time, he did not wait for the official mission of the imperial court. was worried until the evening, Wu Youwei didn't wait for the people who arrested him, and the people he knew had all disappeared, and he was the only one left.
"What to do, what to do......"
Wu Youwei sat on the chair, muttering to himself in despair, he had no idea at all, as if he had a machete hanging around his neck, which would fall at any time, making him unable to live in peace.
In a restaurant on Chang'an Street, Cao Dingjiao, Meng Zhaoxiang, and Wei Xuelian were sitting, drinking hot wine and chatting about current affairs.
Cao Dingjiao was also 'suspended' because of his previous incidents, so he has been stranded in the capital and has more free time.
Although he has nothing to do with the court situation, the Cao family is too prominent, and I don't know how many people hurriedly reported to him, but after all, he was not among them, and the blind man touched the elephant and couldn't figure it out.
"Old Wei, do you know what's going on?"
Cao Dingjiao looked at Wei Xuelian, this time it was the Governor's Yuan as the main force.
Wei Xuelian took a sip of wine, shook his head with a lonely face, and said, "I don't know, I can't enter the Governor's House now, and this time it has been strictly kept secret, and ordinary people don't know the inside story at all." ” Meng Zhaoxiang on the side looked at the two of them, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I know." ” Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian were stunned, and said, "Did Zhou Shangshu say it?"
” Meng Zhaoxiang glanced around and said in a low voice: "This time the movement is very big, and there are a lot of inside information, which one do you want to listen to?"
” Cao Dingjiao looked at Meng Zhaoxiang's expression and pondered, "I heard that the Ministry of Officials has made great changes to the deployment of students in the Political Academy, why is this?"
” Wei Xuelian was also curious when he heard it, this matter is still gossip, and not many people know about it.
Meng Zhaoxiang smiled more, leaned closer and whispered, "Let me tell you one news, Senior Bi Ge is no longer the president of the Royal Political Yuan." ” Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian all changed slightly, what kind of news is this?
What does it have to do with blending changes?
Without waiting for the two to ask, Meng Zhaoxiang lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the emperor went to the political court a few days ago, and he was very dissatisfied with Elder Bige, and he wanted to personally serve as the president of the royal political yuan. ” Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian's faces changed greatly, and they lost their voices: "What you said is true?"
” Meng Zhaoxiang hurriedly waved his hand and said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be wrong, the news is from the cabinet to the ministry." ” Wei Xuelian raised his brows, stretched out his head, and suppressed his excitement: "No wonder!
If the emperor himself is concurrent, it will be no wonder, we may all have to soar!
” Cao Dingjiao's face was also very excited, lying on the table, sticking his head, looking at the two of them and whispering, "If it's true, our political court won't have to worry about it in the future." ” If the emperor is also the president of the Imperial Political Yuan, then the students who graduate from here will all be the protégés of the Son of Heaven, that is, the teachers of these people, who will dare to manipulate them at will in the future?
At the same time, the former vice president Wang Qiaonian is now in the cabinet, and the former president is the 'first assistant' Bi Ziyan, the background of the Royal Political Yuan can no longer be prominent!
Meng Zhaoxiang glanced around again, and said in a low voice again, "Well, most of this news is true, we'll see it in a few days." ” Wei Xuelian looked excited and said: "If this is the case, I will not have many days before I recover, and maybe I can return to the anti-corruption bureau." ” Cao Dingjiao quickly calmed down, thought about it, and said, "Then what is today's incident?"
” Today's movement is really too big, even if it is extremely low-key, but there are hundreds of people inside and outside the capital, and anyone can sense that something is wrong.
Meng Zhaoxiang looked around more cautiously and said, "I guess you will also know later today, so I'll tell you in advance."
Qian Qianyi was about to marry a famous prostitute in the Qinhuai River, and the entire Nanzhili was boiling, and the criticism was like a tide, and the emperor was furious, not only ordered to take Qian Qianyi into Beijing to ask for the crime, but also carried out a strict inspection of the capital, and all lawlessness was taken away. ” Hearing that Qian Qianyi was marrying a famous prostitute in the Qinhuai River, Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian raised his head and looked at each other, and his eyes were stunned.
Qian Qianyi is also a former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he is a staunch supporter of the 'New Deal', why don't you want any ethics when you step down, and you don't even pay attention to the ban of the imperial court, isn't this a joke for the world to see the emperor and the imperial court?
"I see......"
It took a long time for Cao Dingjiao to nod to himself, and then shook his head.
Wei Xuelian also sneered at the corners of his mouth, and said: "These adults keep talking about moral articles in the court, and everything is clear when they resign and return home, and they are exactly the same, which is emotional." ” Meng Zhaoxiang listened, and said helplessly: "Nan Zhili has been Chengping for too long, and there is no restraint, just this time I will also kill their sharpness and clean up the extravagance in Jiangnan!"
By the way, don't walk around lately, don't let people misunderstand, catch any tricks, otherwise if you are caught by any yamen, it will be too late to save you......"
Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian both nodded, they also felt uneasy, and there were often some officials walking back and forth, as if they were staring at them.
"Let's go, go to my house, let's not get drunk and go home, celebrate!"
Wei Xuelian was the most excited, and lowered his voice.
"Let's go!"
Meng Zhaoxiang was also very happy, he had already decided to stay in Beijing.
Cao Dingjiao nodded, his uncle Cao Wenzhao will arrive in Beijing in the next two days, and he has some things to ask.
The three of them went downstairs and went to Wei Xuelian's mansion.
After most of the hustle and bustle of the capital, it is now quiet and weird, and the calm is terrible.
Qianqing Palace, Warm Pavilion.
Zhu Xu is urging Xiao Yongning to practice calligraphy, and from time to time he also gives pointers on the side.
His handwriting is actually not good, but he has strong theoretical knowledge, and Xiao Yongning is young and ignorant, so he listens very seriously, and secretly admires that she, the imperial uncle, is so busy and can write a good hand.
Zhu Xu didn't know what Xiao Yongning was thinking, and he was very focused on teaching.
Cao Huachun came in from outside, took a look, approached Zhu Xu and whispered, "Your Majesty, some princesses in the clan have entered Cining Palace. ” Zhu Xu had expected it a long time ago, waved his hand and said, "Let someone tell the imperial sister-in-law and let her pretend to be sick, but she won't see it." ” Cao Huachun understood and said, "Yes."
After a pause, he said: "The cabinet has sent people to say that the people are almost detained, and some of them are outside Beijing, and they have already sent letters to the local governors and prisons to detain them." ” Zhu Xu said 'um' and didn't care.
Now the imperial court has more means to govern outside the capital, and there is no need to rely entirely on the local yamen, and there are directly subordinate institutions, which can completely bypass the local government and save a lot of trouble.
Cao Huachun saw that Zhu Xu didn't speak, so he turned around and left.
Xiao Yongning looked up at Zhu Xu and said in a crisp voice: "Uncle Huang, are you going to do something bad again?"

” Zhu Xu was stunned and said, "What's the bad thing?"
” The little girl pursed her lips, picked up the pen and continued to practice.
Zhu Xu suddenly frowned and said, "This is how it is said in the palace?
” The little girl didn't speak, but buried herself in practice.
Zhu Xu pinched his chin, who taught this, could it be the imperial sister-in-law?
Not quite like ......
"Your Majesty, Elder Bige asks to see you."
An inner prison appeared outside the door, far away.
Zhu Xu glanced at the little girl and said, "Pass."
"At this time, it is most likely that Qian Qianyi has an idea of this matter.
Bi Ziyan came in from outside, and when he saw Princess Yongning lying there writing, he didn't care, raised his hand and bowed and said, "The minister sees the emperor." ” Zhu Xu sat down, waved his hand, and said, "No courtesy, come here, move a stool for Master Bi." ” "Your Majesty."
Bi Ziyan's expression remained unchanged.
Two or three years ago, he might have been excited, but now he knows that the emperor's heart is like the sea, and he tried his best to restrain his expression and be cautious.
Bi Ziyan sat down on the stool, and then said: "Your Majesty, the matter of Qian Qianyi has basically been disposed of, and I also ask the cabinet to allow a few days to minimize the impact, so as not to cause Shilin to regenerate resentment and cause twists and turns." ” Zhu Xu doesn't care about this, there is a shortage of people in the South China Sea, there is no shortage of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, it is enough to have money and Qianyi, and there will be opportunities in the future, so he put down the teacup and said: "Well, this matter will be handed over to the cabinet to do, it must be clean and neat, don't be anticlimactic, lose everything." ” Bi Ziyan was a little surprised by Zhu Xu's good words, so he hurriedly continued: "Yes, the minister will personally supervise it, and once it is completed, it will be presented to the emperor in detail." ” Zhu Xu said 'um', he will enter the cabinet tomorrow, and he is not afraid that they will not be satisfied.
Bi Ziyan lowered his head and pondered his words: "Your Majesty, the cabinet has cleaned up the room and can enter at any time to deal with government affairs. ” Zhu Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Well, I will go tomorrow, the cabinet will not move, the guards will be replaced by the forbidden army, and my squad Cao Huachun will follow, and a few small rooms will be used by Cao Huachun." ” This is a bit of a cabinet-small cabinet-emperor's meaning, but the small cabinet in this case does not have the power of the 'internal minister' of the past.
Bi Ziyan didn't care, the celebrant had been in decline for too long, he almost forgot about it, raised his hand and said, "Yes." ” Bi Ziyan looked up at Zhu Xu again and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the reform of the cabinet and the six ministries, the minister has some ideas. ” "Say."
Zhu Xu looked at him and picked up the teacup again.
Although Bi Ziyan has a draft, he has carefully scrutinized it now.
The cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was actually very complicated, it evolved from the emperor's private secretary, and was formed after the abolition of the prime minister.
But before Zhu Xu's reform, they have always been a 'secretary' like existence, although they have a lot of power, it is not a formal establishment, and it is not smooth in government affairs, and they need to walk around the palace, and the emperor orders the six ministries to execute.
In other words, in the past, the cabinet could not directly command the six ministries and other institutions, and was always the emperor's 'secretary' and 'staff', not a formal court institution, and the power was always in the hands of the emperor.
However, after Zhu Xu's reform, the cabinet has become the official body of Jing Zhengchao, but because the previous six ministries held power, the cabinet still has no real power and does not have much real power, which is also the reason why reform is urgently needed now.
