Chapter 281: Putting the country first is the priority, isn’t the Tian family the next?

The young man Yan Shifan hasn't seen his father for a long time, so he is very excited now.

He was excited that his father was promoted very quickly and was already the governor of Zhejiang, and he was also excited that he felt that he had grown up a lot and wanted to show off his performance.

"Your Majesty changed the names of the three halls everywhere." Yan Shifan's eyes were full of gleam, "My son felt that this was the importance of the practice of His Majesty telling the subjects of the world."

At the age of thirteen, Yan Song looked at his son who was growing taller and knew in his heart that his son was increasingly eager to be an official.

His Majesty placed him in the Jinyiwei and Weixue, but Yan Song did not bring him beside him.

Now that it's rare to come back, Yan Song also wants to seize the opportunity to give him more advice.

"Estimating practice is just a trivial aspect of this matter."

Hearing Yan Song say this, Yan Shifan couldn't help but be stunned.

negligible?

But who is Yan Song?

His ability to figure out the superior intentions was almost the first few days in the court.

He had to carefully mention his son, so he must not say the words wrongly - the butler in the middle of the capital reported that the young master had been with the Jinyi School Captain for a long time, but now he is no longer disturbed by eye diseases.

In other words: your son is becoming more and more ostentatious now.

What if the big mouth spreads?

Therefore, Yan Song thought about it for a long time and said to his son: "The key is in the name of the country."

Yan Shifan doesn't understand.

What's wrong with the country?

...

Yang Tingyi has been in the position of Assistant Minister of War for six or seven years, and now he has finally risen to the second-rank governor.

"After three years in Jiangxi, he asked to retire, or just take the position of military staff." In Yang Tinghe's study, he said to Yang Tingyi, "The Yang family is in your generation, and you must not try to enter again. Jingzhi has an old friendship with me, but I am my disciple, and you are my brother. With the help of four of us, we will go to Jiangnan to peel off the threads. In the future, the Yang family can only rely on the cultivation generation and the protection of His Majesty."

Yang Tingyi still didn't understand: "Why did the Prime Minister and the State Council give in? It's Your Majesty..."

Yang Tinghe immediately shook his head: "This is the best choice!"

After pausing for a moment, he said solemnly: "The three halls have changed their names, all of which are important to the national character. The emperor is the king and father, and the world is a family. For thousands of years, all the monarchs of all generations are the world. Now Your Majesty wants to make the various expenses in the palace to purchase policies, to promote business and work in order to be self-sufficient, and to set up a real power prime minister. Your Majesty is magnificent, but I remember what Your Majesty once said in the imperial study."

Yang Tingyi had never attended the imperial study room and immediately asked intently: "What are you talking about?"

"In the 16th year of Zhengde, Tuen Mun was defeated." Yang Tingyi said the background, and then said, "Your Majesty said that the war in Guangdong was that Guangdong and Guangxi had small families but no country. They were afraid of defeat and were afraid of fighting, and they showed off their own desires and forgot their roots! This is not a word for administration, but they can be generalized. In fact, the land of the Ming Dynasty respects the Zhu family and shares it, and their selfish interests are divided into their own interests and each gains their own benefits! The people of Dongguan still know that they will sacrifice their lives to defend their territory and will fight. However, most of our Ming officials have families but forget their country. If they are not a private land, they will not guard them!"

Yang Tingyi was shocked.

Yang Tinghe must convince his younger brother.

He has become the prime minister, and it is really not a big difference whether he is the prime minister or not. But because of himself, Yang Tingyi has been able to stay outside the Nine Ministers, and he still wants to reach the first rank one day.

Yan Song did not dare to tell Yan Shifan thoroughly that Yang Tinghe could, because Yang Tingyi had been in the officialdom for a long time.

"The emperor's power is superior, and the prime minister's power will appear in the world again. How will the dispute between kings and ministers change? The emperor naturally still lives in the world, so who will carry the word "country"? The most dangerous thing is to put the country first, so why is the Tian family second?"

After three consecutive questions, Yang Tingyi finally understood the danger.

In the past, there was a relationship between the king and the subjects. The emperor and the people of the world were also a relationship between the emperor. The emperor, as the grandparent, naturally had a complete grasp of the wealth and property of the world and the lives of the subjects. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all kind to the king, and the son cannot say that his father's fault.

Now that the emperor puts the country above the family, what exactly is a country? How to deal with the relationship between the country and the Tian family?

Yang Tinghe sighed: "The chief minister of the cabinet is easier than this Prime Minister and the Minister of State! There are emperors above and the National Policy Conference, and six state ministers at each of them are under the control. There are factories, guards, and the Censorate. The General Office of Public Security does not listen to the orders and publicity. There are provinces and peoples who need to manage them well. I am not afraid of difficulties, but the Yang family is already on the top of the huge waves, so I must make mistakes or give them a real person. If I give up the virtuous, I must start this. Fei Zichong is also smart. If you do a full term, you will definitely give up the virtuous."

"...If a person is a powerful minister for several years or even dozens of years, he will be more suspicious."

In front of my brother, in this private, Yang Tingyi was not afraid of telling it thoroughly.

"That's true. The imperial power is above all else. Although this prime minister is powerful, it's too hot." Yang Tinghe said to him solemnly, "It's better to do something practical. Your Majesty can think of it in his heart, which is worse than anything else."

"……I see."

Both of them were thinking about the situation over the past few years. Now the emperor has taken the initiative to give up some power. How could it be that it is not a situation against the "new party" that has expanded due to the new laws in the Ming Dynasty?

The character of the country is reflected everywhere, and the officials in the world want to keep the country in their hearts. Then what is the country? Who is the symbol of the country?

If this Prime Minister and Minister of State accidentally make the people return to their hearts, then can His Majesty really give up the supreme imperial power?

On the other day, what is the first Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, what is the thought of now?

...

"Thank you behind closed doors!"

Fei Hong's head hurts very much.

I worked as a cabinet minister in the capital and knew that I was just working with the acting in Sichuan, so the Fei family's house was still there.

Now they are just candidates, and other participating leaders may be reserved, but local provinces and even officials in Nanjing have rushed to post to pay their respects.

Some things have to be slowly savored to taste more. After being "sneak-attacked" by Yang Ting and his wife, Fei Hong finally slowly calmed down from the excitement and excitement of being the first Prime Minister and Minister of State.

Being fooled!

How to balance the interests of the six state ministers and the remaining "old party" and the new law are all small things, so do it slowly.

The biggest problem is the erosion of the power of the monarch by the Prime Minister.

The emperor is still there, young and intelligent, with stable imperial power. Now he has taken the initiative to release some government power. The more he thinks about the Prime Minister and the State Council feels like a steward who takes the blame.

Financial planning, people's livelihood, culture and education, internal thieves, external enemies... Whenever something goes wrong in the future, there will be a clear highest responsible person.

In the past, the cabinet ministers only proposed some disposal plans through votes, and they were nominally collective opinions. Later, the Prime Minister and the State Council could not avoid it - there was no such thing as Zhu Criticism. Isn't it all the decisions of the Prime Minister?

If you don't do it well, you will be in a state of corpse and have a bad reputation for thousands of years.

If you do well, then you are equivalent to half of the emperor?

What Fei Hong was most confused about was why the emperor did this.

In essence, the chief minister of the cabinet is actually equivalent to the prime minister. If the emperor wants to be more relaxed, he can only take care of the imperial study room and the literati supervisor, and reject the cabinet's many government affairs that are preparing to delegate power.

Do you really want the Ming Dynasty to be governed by the ruler and his subjects?

This involves the concerns of the ministers' group about their own security. At least in the Song Dynasty there was a so-called ancestral teaching of "not killing scholars and officials for the end of the Song Dynasty". What about the Ming Dynasty?

Besides, what is the ancestor’s teachings? Didn’t Taizu say it clearly? If anyone discusses the establishment of a prime minister, they will be cut off.

Now no one can kill the emperor.

But the emperor was able to cut off the Prime Minister and Minister of State.

Fei Hong had no other choice. Even if he was acting, he began to write a dictionary overnight.

First of all, we must not sit in that position happily. The emperor always has to express his true thoughts and provide some guarantees.

For this official position, the so-called "three major privileges" of Guan Ce are really not enough.

The prefects and the gentry in the capital still knew that the three halls had been renamed and an expanded national policy meeting was about to be held.

They did not know that at the "preparatory meeting" before the National Policy Conference, many major events had been decided in the name of discussing drafts. The people who attended the National Policy Hall were asked to keep it confidential as before.

Not confidential? Nothing?

After the Huguang Rebellion, do you still dare to underestimate the strength of the factory guards?

Therefore, Yan Song only pointed out the name change of the three halls with his son, and Yang Tinghe only talked with his younger brother who had been elected as the governor of Jiangxi and would also attend the meeting later. Those who came to visit Fei Hong were also senior officials who knew about this.

What is mainly discussed in the capital now is the new four-title system, which is the business profile and job recruitment of 16 state-owned enterprises published in Ming Pao.

Afraid of missing time, I rushed to the capital before the New Year and handed over the poems and articles to contact my fellow villagers. My mentors were worried about next year's exam: I won't use simple words and new style answer sheets, right? Will I take the exam to get a new study? The Ministry of Rites gives me a sentence!

The Ministry of Rites just doesn't express its opinion.

Zhu Houcan smiled a little badly when he heard the daily conduct of officials in Beijing and major events reported by the Jinyiwei.

I can still express my opinion, but I can slow down, at least in the next issue or even later Ming Pao: I have heard of the many doubts about the examination by Mingke candidates recently, and after consultation, the Ministry of Rites issued a report...

With such a few months, the simplified Chinese characters and new styles can probably be familiar with the wisdom of the juren and their concern for fame and fortune.

As for the mistaken preparation for the exam? This is a test where thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge. Whether the exam is done depends on the temporary cramming of the moon?

The students who took the exam are really depressed now.

It is rare that the governor and vassal state of my province are also in Beijing at this time. Don’t you care about the results of the examination in the province next year?

Before, there will be special banquets, encouragement and guidance before leaving!

Now, even the poems and essays submitted cannot be received, let alone meeting and listening to the sound of the wind.

How could they know that these governors and vassal states and senior officials who are of high power and who are related to some relationships are all focused on the upcoming national policy meeting.

What a big change, how many good official positions are there! Not every position is like the Prime Minister and the State Minister, the newly added Minister of State, the Minister of War, etc., currently only one candidate has been elected.

It is less than ten days before the National Policy Conference is officially held. They cannot contact each other and exchange opinions?

This is a personnel change that is even greater than the "fight between the new and old parties" in the court in the first year of Jiajing.

Huang Jin is also very busy, but the things he is busy with now are different from others.
To be continued...
