Chapter 313 Under Two People

In the official room of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

Zhan Hui and Ren Hengtai both fell silent.

Outside the public house, the footsteps of officials from the Ministry of Personnel carrying books, memorials, and documents could be clearly heard.

Rujun looked at the two of them.

The three of them have been officials in the same dynasty for many years and are very familiar with each other. Although they occasionally have disputes due to different views on government affairs, relatively speaking, they are on the same side most of the time.

Ru Yu could see what Zhan Hui and Ren Hengtai were thinking at a glance.

He chuckled and shook his head helplessly: "It's not easy for the people, it's not easy for the officials. How can anything in the world be so easy..."

After finishing speaking, Ru Yu silently looked at Zhan Hui opposite.

He is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the first among the six ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and the leader of civil servants in the world.

Many of the following words should be said by Zhan Hui.

However, Ru Yu didn't see Zhan Hui's intention to speak.

He could only smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty is not a murderer, but if one day, we...I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be merciful. At that time, how should we deal with ourselves? It is true that every time Brother Yong speaks out, he will

Are you begging for bones, retiring and returning to your hometown?"

As she spoke, Ru Yu turned her head and looked silently at Ren Hengtai, the Minister of Rites.

Guyong is the character of Ren Hengtai.

Ren Hengtai shook his head: "I only know that this year was originally supposed to be in the spring, but it is about to begin now."

Hearing this, Ru Jin's eyes flashed slightly.

Except for the enke in the 25th year of Hongwu, the first few imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty were all held in the spring, which is why it is called Chunwei.

It stands to reason that this year is the 25th year of Hongwu. It is the normal spring festival every three years since the spring festival in the 24th year of Hongwu.

But this year, spring has been postponed until now, when autumn is about to begin.

Spring weather turns into autumn weather.

Zhan Hui reached out and gently knocked on the table in front of him.

Then, under the gaze of Ru Yu and Ren Hengtai, he finally spoke slowly: "It is difficult to be an official. Now Taisun has become the subordinate of the two people of Ming Dynasty. What will the future of the court be like? Needless to say, we must do a good job in each department."

Doing your part is the long-term solution.”

"Between the two of them..." Ru Yu sighed.

During the sacrifice, outside the ancestral temple, the grandson met the king and received the ceremony.

This elevated the political status of Taisun beyond that of the clan kings, and completely established the future political direction of the Ming Dynasty.

Rujun was probably more courageous than the others because he was in charge of the Ministry of War. He said quietly: "To put it bluntly, your Majesty and the Crown Prince are both now... My Ming Dynasty is still the same Ming Dynasty..."<

/p>

"Be careful what you say!"

Ren Hengtai grabbed Ru Yu's wrist, widened his eyes and warned in a deep voice.

"This is a good thing!" Zhan Hui said with a smile, and then his face gradually became cold: "But it's not a good thing either."

The prince's eleven crowns, coat of arms, the grandson's eleven crowns, coat of arms.

This has once again reiterated and confirmed the original status of the prince and grandson. The candidates for the next and the next monarch of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to change in the general direction as long as there are no drastic fluctuations.

Yes.

This is naturally a good thing for the world, and it is undoubtedly a great good thing for the common people of the country.

The country's inheritance is orderly, and there will be no coups caused by the succession of imperial power or other things that would cause turmoil in the world.

The political situation is overly stable and has almost no impact on the people.

This kind of thing has always been the biggest headache for kings in all dynasties after they get old.

Even if there are no vicious events such as coups and mutinies, it will not be smooth sailing.

The old stubborn group of people will be expelled and new people will take their place.

The change of power will last for several years.

But for people like Zhan Hui and others who have almost reached the end of their official career, it is also a bad thing.

The orderly inheritance of the throne means that they will not make any mistakes in this process.

The change of imperial power has nothing to do with them.

Rujun's presumptuous remarks are not wrong.

Even if His Majesty dies today, the Crown Prince will be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor tomorrow as a matter of course. No one has any reason to stop or oppose him. Civil servants like them will become transparent people.

No matter which dynasty or generation changes in imperial power, the court does not have to select a few auxiliary ministers.

But that won’t happen now.

Because this matter has nothing to do with them.

Even if the prince passed away today, tomorrow the grandson can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor without any hindrance.

Then what was the use of these civil servants in the Ming Dynasty?

What use are they in the court?

Ru Yu snorted: "What does it matter whether it's good or not? Zhang Ergong and others are unable to move at all now. Your Majesty and the Grand Sun want to promote meritorious ministers, and there is nothing to find fault with. You and I can be regarded as Ming Jing

So what if you were born in the Eight-part Imperial Examination?"

"Xing Chen..." Ren Hengtai hummed: "I don't even have an excuse to say that Zhang Ergong and the others are Xing Chen."

Zhan Hui shook his head, added tea for the two of them, and then continued: "Wei Fan and others stood up to remonstrate at that time, which shows what the people below are thinking. Right now... we can only stabilize the court, otherwise if something goes wrong

If you make a mistake, I still have to carry it."

"Carry it?"

Rujun squinted his eyes outside and snorted dissatisfiedly: "How much have we done for them! The various reforms in the past two years can be called Hongwu's New Deal, no less than the previous Wen Zhenggong's New Deal and the Prince's New Deal!"

Fan Wenzheng, Wang Anshi.

That was the representative and leader of the reformists in the former Song Dynasty.

However, their reforms all ended in failure.

"New Deal... usher in the new and get rid of the old..." Zhan Hui muttered worriedly.

Ru Yun, however, lost her temper. It seemed that there were really too many things in the past two years that they had to deal with.

Ru Yu continued to say dissatisfiedly: "With the new political reform, there are so many people and so many things. Is there really no complaint in the world? To shock them by killing them? How many people can your Majesty kill? How many people below are really doing things sincerely?"<

/p>

When she got excited, Ru Yu stood up angrily.

Staring deeply at Zhan Hui and Ren Hengtai.

I saw him waving his robe heavily.

"I see, there is no end to the corrupt officials in this world!"

"The number of people who can obey His Majesty's will and comply with the reform policy can be counted on one hand."

"Just say that river..."

Ru Yu waved her arms and raised her hands and pointed angrily.

Bang!

There was a loud noise in the official room of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

The officials walking outside quickly lowered their heads, hugged the documents in their arms tightly, and quickened their pace to leave here this morning.

And in the public housing.

Zhan Hui's eyes were already angry and he glared at Rujun: "Liangyu! Do you dare to say these words? You are arrogant!"

Ru Yu opened her mouth, her lips and teeth trembling slightly, but she still had a unwilling expression.

Ren Hengtai, who was sitting next to him, shook his head bitterly and stretched out his hand to pull him to sit down.

"Don't talk about other things. I think it doesn't matter if a craftsman like Zhang Ergong is promoted to a craftsman official or a master craftsman." Ren Hengtai had a smile on his face, but it was uglier than not smiling at all: "After all, they are all

They are doing things that are beneficial to the country, and they are indeed meritorious, so there is nothing wrong with them being promoted."

Ru Yu curled her lips, stretched out her hand to stroke the beard on her chin, and raised her eyebrows: "Then what do you want to do now? If you can bear the burden put down by His Majesty and others, can you also withstand the complaints and actions of the people below?

Something?"

"I see, sooner or later, we will all die together! We have already written the memorial of begging for bones. When the time comes, we will retire and return to our hometown together, and we will have a peaceful ending."

Opposite the tea table.
