 Looking at the servants coming in and out of Jiyi Hall from a distance, Chen Xun said calmly.

"The Secretary of General Affairs sent forty or fifty memoranda to Jiyi Hall today. Before noon, Eunuch Jin sent people to send them all back. It is said that the review was very accurate and detailed!"

This reason is indeed untenable. If it hadn't happened this morning, maybe they would still believe it. However, after seeing the memorials handled by King Tan, neither Gao Gu nor Chen Xun could convince themselves that King Tan

The reason why he restored the voting power of the cabinet was because he was incapable of handling so many complicated government affairs.

Gao Gu was silent, and after a moment Fang frowned and said, "If not, then is it a sign of goodwill?"

This reason is relatively more reliable. You must know that since the Japanese military report came, King Xi has been firmly on the side of the civil servants. The nature of the cabinet is complicated, but it is still on the side of the civil servants. To promote the cabinet

It is not inexplicable to show favor to civil servants due to his status.

However, Chen Xun glanced at the Jiyi Hall opposite and asked, "It's just to show goodwill, why do you want to choose a cabinet?"

It is true that under the current situation, if you want to hold on to the capital, you must have civil servants. It is precisely because of this that King Tan firmly supports civil servants.

But don’t forget that the cabinet and the civil servants are not the same concept. If he wanted to show favor to the civil servants, King Tan had too many methods at his disposal. Why did he choose the cabinet?

You must know that when the matter was discussed that day, although it was out of public motives, Chen Xun and others had offended King Tan after all.

Gao Gu nodded, also thoughtfully, and said: "If it's not a sign of goodwill, then it's...a warning?"

Chen Xun's face suddenly darkened and he warned...

Warning for what?

Of course, I want to tell them who is in charge of this court now!

King Tan was telling them that he was the one who was in charge of regenting the government!

It is true that with King Tan's current status and prestige, even with the righteous title of Chief Regent, he still needs to discuss with the courtiers on many key matters.

After all, he is just a proxy, not the real emperor!

Although King Yin was pushed out at such a critical moment, it was mostly to stabilize the morale of the military. In many cases, the opinions of the courtiers still had to take priority in major government affairs.

King Tian's actions these days clearly illustrate this point.

His ideas and opinions must convince most or even all of the courtiers before he can issue an order.

When it comes to candidates for important ministers such as the Six Ministers and the Admiral of the Beijing Camp, they choose to appoint them through court recommendation.

This is all to ensure the smooth flow of government orders. The core reason is that King Yin is only a supervisor of the country, not the real emperor. If the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth. Therefore, for such major events, King Yin largely needs to rely on procedures.

Legalization to promote.

But the cabinet is different!

The establishment of the cabinet was not within the regulations of the imperial court. In other words, the real authority of the cabinet was inconsistent with the regulations of the imperial court.

The authority of the cabinet comes directly from the imperial power, whether it is drafting votes or drafting edicts.

King Tan and the six ministries of the outer dynasty need to discuss the matter, but as for the cabinet, as long as he still has the title of general administration, he can be sure of it!

This is his warning!

With the support of King Tan, the cabinet will be able to obtain the most important voting power, and its status in the court will be greatly improved.

Without the support of King Tan, these two cabinet ministers would be complete idlers.

Even though they have the power to take charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy and the power to foresee the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, of these two powers, the former can only influence public opinion, while the latter is only a preview and has no real power in their hands. The two cabinet ministers said

If so, people won't take it too seriously.

so……

Chen Xun said quietly: "It's both a gesture of goodwill and a warning!"

Both of them fell silent.

King Tan's move also had another meaning, that is, he told them that since he could give the cabinet the power to vote, he could take it away.

Perhaps, there is a deeper meaning...

After half a moment, Chen Xun suddenly said: "For the world, the clan supervising the country is not a long-term solution after all. If...what do you think we should make?"

Gao Gu stiffened and turned around suddenly. There was no expression on his face, but he met Chen Xun's calm eyes.

There was another moment of silence. Gao Gu turned his head, looked at the yellow leaves flying in the corridor, and said softly: "I should do it...for the sake of the country..."

…………

On the other side, Chen Yi and Yu Qian walked out of the palace gate together.

To be honest, today's performance in Jiyi Hall made both of them feel complicated.

On the way, Chen Yi hesitated several times, but did not speak.

It was not until the time of separation that Chen Yi hesitated for a long time before he decided to ask: "Master Yu..."

However, as soon as he said a few words, Yu Qian cupped his hand, sighed quietly, and said: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Zong Xian, the content of this military report is too relevant, so I can't reveal it."

Seeing this situation, Chen Yi knew that it was impossible to get information from Yu Qian.

After thinking about it, he knew Yu Qian's temper and character. Since he had promised not to reveal it in the palace, Chen Yi naturally had no intention of asking anything.

Looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention, Chen Yi lowered his voice and asked.

"Just now in the palace, Prince Tan said that it was disrespectful to use ministers to discuss kings. Do you think there is another meaning in this?"

The original words of Prince Tan were...

The emperor insisted on the Northern Expedition. Now that the emperor's brother has fallen into the hands of the bandits, it is disrespectful to use ministers to discuss the emperor...

Chen Yi is a smart man, so he can naturally understand the meaning of this sentence in one glance.

It was the emperor's insistence to go out to the war, so to really put a final conclusion on the civil war, it was natural that the emperor would do it.

But now, the emperor is in the enemy's hands, so naturally he cannot give a definite conclusion to this war. Moreover, even if the emperor comes back, given his current temperament, I am afraid that the characterization he gives will not be the characterization that the courtiers want.

Then the meaning of this sentence can be easily revealed...

However, this extremely obscure meaning is really too important.

It's so important that for someone like Chen Yi, he has to be cautious.

If it weren't for the fact that he and Yu Qian had always been on good terms, Chen Yi probably wouldn't have revealed even the slightest bit of information.

Yu Qian was silent for a moment and finally said.

"Master Zongxian, there will be a court meeting tomorrow, and we will discuss matters after the meeting. We will know the inside story of the military report by then, and it will not be too late. In these troubled times, Master Zongxian should go back today and recuperate!"

After that, he turned around and returned to the military headquarters.

The words were endless and did not answer Chen Yi's question at all.

However, after Chen Yi finished listening, he frowned tightly.

Although Yu Qian seemed to have said nothing, the two had known each other for many years, and Chen Yi keenly grasped the key from these two sentences.

Court meetings... discussions... military reports...

After a long time, Chen Yi seemed to have thought of something. He looked in the direction he came from, sighed with complicated eyes, and then walked heavily into the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Under the Qianbu Corridor, the withered yellow leaves were blown by the autumn wind, making a rustling sound and falling to the ground one after another, looking extremely desolate...
