Under Zhu Xu's 'fair presiding', the 'demotion case' was passed even so.
No matter how crude this policy is now and how controversial it is, it is the beginning of the 'regulation' of the clan, and it will inevitably control the clan population within an acceptable range in the future.
A group of people in the cabinet were transferred back to the cabinet, and then 're-discussed' with the waiting cadres, and Sun Chuanting personally drafted a new 'demote case', which was sent to the Qianqing Palace again overnight.
This time, only Sun Chuanting came alone, Bi Ziyan and others were also afraid that there would be another moth, Zhu Xu would have branches again, and no longer entering the palace was also an expression of attitude - this is the final version!
Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, nodded slightly, put it aside, looked at Sun Chuanting and said with a smile, "After a day in the cabinet, what do you think?"
” Zhu Xu's voice fell, and Cao Huachun, who was not far away, looked up at Sun Chuanting, his eyes slightly condensed.
He has followed Zhu Xu for a long time, and knows that a seemingly ordinary sentence often hides some thoughts: the so-called emperor's heart is like an abyss, and the power of heaven is unpredictable.
Now there are only two monarchs and ministers, and Sun Chuanting also let go a little, and said after a little thought: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the cabinet, the six ministries, etc. are a little abnormal. ” Zhu Xu suddenly smiled, picked up the teacup, and said, "Tell me, why is it abnormal?"
” Sun Chuanting's brows furrowed, and after a while, he said, "The cabinet wants to do things, but it seems that the strength is not enough, and the six ministries are tied, and the inside and outside of the bureau are not clear, and they are confused." ” Zhu Xu saw this more clearly than Sun Chuanting, holding a teacup in his hand, looking at him, and said with a heartfelt heart, "This can be regarded as an inevitable phenomenon in the reform, you have to help Bi Ge Lao and others in the cabinet, now is the change that has not been seen in the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, you can't be cautious to stagnation, you must boldly move forward, gossip, and even stigma have a sober and rational understanding, don't resign at every turn, suppress dissidents......
Seeking common ground while reserving differences, inclusiveness is the style that my Ming Dynasty should have......"
Sun Chuanting listened to Zhu Xu's words, especially the eight words of 'seeking common ground while reserving differences, inclusiveness', his eyes lit up slightly, pondered carefully, and when Zhu Xu stopped, he raised his hand and said: "The emperor's words and ministers feel that they are deeply reasonable, if the courtiers in the past can have such a mind and style, there will be no party strife, and the court situation and national politics will be dragged down to the point of no return. ” Zhu Xu glanced at Sun Chuanting with some surprise, whether it was sycophant or not, he was very useful, and said with a smile: "If you want to hang it yourself, I can't take my words."
The cabinet is indeed still very chaotic right now, and it will take time to sort it out, so you have to be careful.
I want to take this song into the palace for the concubine, and the imperial sister-in-law will take a look, you will wait here for a while. ” The clan couldn't get around the harem in this matter, Sun Chuanting raised his hand and said, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu glanced at him again, picked up the notebook, Cao Huachun was just about to follow, Zhu Xu suddenly waved his hand, and said, "I can go alone." ” Cao Huachun looked slightly stunned, glanced at Sun Chuanting, and said with a moved heart, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu walked out of the door of the warm pavilion, Cao Huachun's face relaxed, stepped forward to look at Sun Chuanting, and said, "What kind of tea does Lord Sun like to drink?"
The emperor doesn't have any special hobbies, and there are some tribute teas from all over the world. ” Zhu Xu was not there, Sun Chuanting relaxed a little, raised his hand and said, "If there is Father-in-law Lao, just an ordinary Longjing." ” Cao Huachun picked up the tea caddy and began to make tea on Zhu Xu's tea table, and then looked at Sun Chuanting and said: "The emperor doesn't like extravagance, and he often stays up late, so he especially likes strong tea, and occasionally likes to ponder while brewing tea when he thinks about it......."
Sun Chuanting sat down on the other side of the tea table at Cao Huachun's invitation, and said with a touching expression: "The emperor is self-denying, and it is really a blessing for me to be able to devote himself to government affairs."
His perception is naturally because of the previous emperors, the Wanli Emperor neglected his government to an unprecedented degree, Guangzong died in a month of taking red pills, and Xizong was obsessed with carpentry work and led to the eunuch party, which really made the courtiers deeply worried and uneasy.
Cao Huachun smiled and said nothing, sat opposite Sun Chuanting, and after a while, poured him a cup of tea and said, "Lord Sun, please drink tea." ” Sun Chuanting leaned over slightly and said, "Father-in-law Xie." ” The two took a sip of tea, and were silent for a while, Cao Huachun smiled and said, "If Lord Sun has anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ” Sun Chuanting had an unusual trust in Cao Huachun, and he also understood Zhu Xu's purpose for letting Cao Huachun stay, so he groaned and said: "Father-in-law, does the emperor know that the courtiers have different thoughts?"
” Cao Huachun looked at Sun Chuanting, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes."
The officials of my Ming Dynasty have always been upright, not bad, with different political views, and it is extremely difficult to unify, and the emperor coercs everyone and reluctantly works together. ” Sun Chuanting was not surprised, and thought about it, "It is the emperor who ruled the world with six ministries before, and now he uses the cabinet to unify the government decrees and reach the world." ” Cao Huachun nodded and said: "That's right, the six ministries go their own way, the power is too large, the cabinet is weak, there are discords from time to time, plus the needs of the 'New Deal', it is inevitable to weaken the six ministries and centralize the cabinet......
Sun Chuanting nodded silently, the current emperor has always been far-sighted, I am afraid that this matter is not a temporary idea, he looked at Cao Huachun, hesitated for a while, and still said: "I have talked to Bi Ge Lao and Sun Ge Lao, although they did not say it explicitly, but I can hear that they are all worried." ” "Worried?"
Cao Huachun was stunned and said, "What are you worried about?"
Immediately, he also realized that this should be the truth that the emperor asked him to stay and wanted to hear from Sun Chuanting's mouth.
Sun Chuanting looked at Cao Huachun with an awe-inspiring expression, and said: "The two pavilion elders should not know what the emperor is going to do, what kind of Ming he wants to create, and what plans he has......"
Cao Huachun frowned, nodded lightly subconsciously, but did not speak.
In fact, he didn't know any of this either.
The emperor often acts with a small goal to hide his true intentions, and until the end, no one can guess his mind - the current emperor has always been 'disorderly', deviating from the consistent policy of the imperial court, and even taking the ancestral system to heart, completely without common sense.
Although the courtiers acted according to the 'new policy' for the time being, they were very confused and uneasy about the future, and more often they were afraid of the possible plans that the emperor still hid.
Sun Chuanting looked straight at Cao Huachun, if anyone in the Ming Dynasty still knew the emperor's thoughts, that is, the great eunuch in front of him, Cao Huachun.
After a long time, Cao Huachun spoke, and said with a smile, "After Lord Sun goes back, you can tell the two pavilion elders that next year's military conference, the court meeting must be well prepared." ” Sun Chuanting's expression moved slightly, and then he understood, and said, "After the official goes back, he will definitely convey it." ” "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Cao Huachun poured Sun Chuanting another cup of tea.
Sun Chuanting sighed a little in his heart, and said, "Xia Guan hopes that the cabinet will have more power, once again solemnize the relationship between the cabinet and the six ministries and nine temples, and be able to reorganize the 'new deal'." ”
