Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Lai Zongdao hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Qiyuan was the first to speak out.

Hong Chengchou's eyes moved slightly, and he inadvertently glanced at Lai Zongdao, the chief assistant of the old god Zizai, knowing it in his heart, and then he laughed out loud.

What you say and what I say, seem to be incomparably harmonious.

This scene was naturally clearly reflected in the eyes of the civil and military officials present. All the civil and military officials had different expressions and unpredictable thoughts.

"Hundreds of officials enter the palace!"

When the twilight dissipated and the sky was just dawning, above the city tower, accompanied by the sound of a drum, the eunuch's loud shouts also sounded.

The gate of the palace opened slowly, and the civil and military officials who had already completed their team also left in an orderly manner.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Chengtian Hall, all the officials kowtowed and shouted.

"Zhu Aiqing is flat."

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his eyes glanced at the civil and military people present, and finally fixed on Hong Chengchou for a moment, and then he looked back.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers stood up and bowed.

Before all the officials played, the emperor said:

"Hong Aiqing."

"Chen is here!"

Hong Chengchou stepped out and bowed to the emperor,

The emperor waved his hand, and the two virtues immediately went to the first book with the imperial decree: "Follow the heavens, the emperor's decree, saying: Hong Chengchou..."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, canonized as a bachelor of Donghua Pavilion..."

After the edict was read, the court was silent, and Hong Chengchou's heart trembled. He thought that the minister of the Ministry of Industry was already a source of great blessings.

After all, even in the current Daheng dynasty, when entering the cabinet, it still follows the system of imperial court recommendation in the previous Ming Dynasty, and the emperor has never broken it.

But now...

At this moment, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but think too much, and immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and shouted:

"I... thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Shouts resounded in the hall, the martial arts generals are still okay, and it has nothing to do with them whether they are in the cabinet or not.

As for the civil servants, there was obviously something wrong with their expressions.

The system of court push is undoubtedly the embodiment of ministerial power.

In the past, when officials wanted to join the cabinet, they followed the opinions of the vast majority of civil servants.

And this edict...

From the court of hundreds of officials to enter the cabinet, to the emperor directly issuing an edict to enter the cabinet!

This……

For a moment, the hall was silent, the air was so oppressive that water could be wrung out, only Hong Chengchou's loud shouts were still lingering and circling.

Several ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, for a moment, they didn't know what to do.

I want to advise and advise, but although the turmoil in Shaanxi is peaceful, the case has not yet been settled. Those court officials are still full of shit, and they have not wiped it clean, so they go against His Majesty again. Isn't that an old birthday star? Hang yourself, court death!

But if you don't persuade them, then joining the cabinet in the future will not be to win over your colleagues, and you will be able to join the cabinet after exchanging interests.

If the emperor makes a decision, if he doesn't make the emperor happy, who can join the cabinet?

Everyone has to please the emperor and make the emperor happy!

So charming, what is the integrity, what is the reputation, and how is it different from the eunuch and eunuch!

"Your Majesty can't!"

The criminal department bowed down and shouted to Zhang Yaowen during the incident.

"Your Majesty, the most important intention of the government's promotion is that it attaches great importance to selecting talents and recommending talents for the use of the country. It is hoped that the sages will be in power, and the capable will be in office, and they will cooperate with each other to promote the prosperity of the country. However, Du Ningxing's stealing of the position must not go beyond this. Make it!"

"What do you mean, when I called him into the cabinet, I called him a sycophant, and when your court pushed me into the cabinet, I called him a virtuous man?"

Under the emperor's unceremonious questioning, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who spoke out suddenly turned pale and sweated profusely.

Under such questioning, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were speechless, and the court hall was filled with extremely depressing silence.

Some civil servants wanted to refute with remonstrance, but they couldn't get out of their mouths.

The establishment of Daheng, the stability of Daheng's national fortune, their contribution is insignificant, and even repeatedly damaged the Daheng's national fortune.

So, where is the confidence.

Even if you open your mouth, it's just such a self-inflicted humiliation.

In this Great Heng Dynasty, their sense of existence has been weakened to the extreme.

After a long silence, Lai Zongdao also sighed sadly. He knew that it was impossible to disobey this matter, and they did not have the confidence to disobey.

He silently stood up, and bowed to the emperor: "I think that Mr. Hong has been in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, supervising reforms, checking taxes... He has made great contributions... It is a matter of course for him to join the cabinet..."

As soon as Lai Zongdao spoke, unbelievable eyes gathered on Lai Zongdao one after another.

In the face of such big issues, the dignified chief minister of the cabinet not only does not refute, but directly obeys?

As Lai Zongdao's words fell, the unbelievable gazes quickly retracted, and the voices of the civil servants echoed one after another.

The coldness in the emperor's eyes dissipated slightly, but in the depths of his pupils, the hint of impatience still existed.

He never minded being tolerant of officials.

But the premise is that he has the qualifications to be tolerant.

If you can't do things well, you still poke out the basket from time to time and drag you down!

In this way, it would be fine if he acted in a low-key manner, but he still ignorantly sang against him!

I'm afraid this is not ridiculous!

A court meeting is still going on normally, but the minds of the officials are obviously not above the court discussion.

The emperor's complete disregard for the court recommendation system has already caused all the civil servants to hide their worries.

The weakening of ministerial power is the expansion of imperial power.

In this Great Heng Dynasty, the emperor's imperial power is to take whatever he wants, and to do whatever he wants.

But now, the few rights of the courtiers are being suppressed again.

Even directly ignoring the system of court recommendation, he intervened in the appointment of cabinet ministers!

If things go on like this, the cabinet must be all lucky ministers, and a group of lucky ministers will be in charge of the center...

Amidst the worries, many courtiers looked more gloomy.

A court meeting also ended hastily under this weird atmosphere.

But the turmoil brought about by this appointment is far from over.

5 Chapter Eighty

"The court push system...is abolished!"

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Liu Qiyuan sighed quietly, and the account books and files of the household department in his hand were also rare and boring.

"It's long gone."

Lai Zongdao took a sip of tea indifferently: "When there were only two cabinet ministers, you and I, the system of court push was already useless."

Qi Yuan stared at Lai Zongdao, as if dissatisfied:

"It's normal to do special things at special times, but now that the country is gradually stabilizing and the world is about to be unified, there must be rules and regulations for central state affairs!"

"Nowadays, we completely disregard the system of court push and make a decision. Once a precedent is set, in time, all the ministers in the court will be flatterers. They will never do state affairs and flatter. If this is the case, there will be endless disasters!"

Lai Zongdao's expression was as usual, and he said quietly: "My lord, I want to accomplish the great cause of opening up the world, and I need a minister who can do things!"

"Flaty is good, even treacherous ministers, as long as it is useful and beneficial to His Majesty's great cause, in His Majesty's heart, he is a virtuous minister!"

"The princes of the Manchu Dynasty and the literati in the world, most of them still cling to the so-called nobility and arrogance of the previous Ming Dynasty, and they don't know how to change."

Speaking of this, Lai Zongdao glanced at Yang Sichang and Liu Qiyuan: "Now, it is the Daheng Dynasty, and the rules are also the rules of the Daheng Dynasty!"

"Always clinging to what the former Ming said will only make the Holy Majesty even more displeased..."

Liu Qiyuan and Yang Sichang were silent, and they naturally understood the truth, but the ups and downs of the Ming officialdom decades ago, and the countless interests involved, had already infiltrated something into their bones.

How can it be so easy to completely eliminate it in a short while and enter a new era under the rule of Emperor Zhaowu!

And these years, the saints have been cleaned up again and again, the thinking of the world has been reversed, and even the educational trials implemented by Shuntian Mansion now...

Everything shows that...

Son of Heaven, those people or things that cannot adapt to the times will be eliminated bit by bit!

Those who know current affairs, perhaps, can live a decent life.

For those who are ignorant of current affairs, the emperor's butcher knife has always been merciless and unscrupulous!

"when are you leaving?"

During the silence, Liu Qiyuan asked suddenly.

"The resignation letter has been handed in..."

Lai Zongdao said with a smile: "A lifetime of ups and downs in the officialdom, experienced two dynasties and five emperors, witnessed the former Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and also witnessed the change of the world, from decline to prosperity, the unification of the world, the coercion of all directions, the beginning of a generation of prosperity!"

"My whole life is enough!"

Liu Qiyuan sighed: "You retreated just in time!"

"Hahaha!"

Lai Zongdao smiled heartily: "A generation of new people replaces the old ones. If I don't retreat, I will really occupy the latrine and not shit!"

"vulgar!"

Liu Qiyuan smiled helplessly, and the depression in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Yang Sichang has been silent all the time, the Ministry of War has special functions, involving the military, although it seems to have prominent powers, but in fact its status is very embarrassing.

In the military, there is no right to speak, and in politics, it is even less right to speak.

"Long live! Daheng Wannian!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

When the cabinet ministers were talking, the faint shouts came from far to near.

The three cabinet ministers also subconsciously looked out the window, but only heard louder and more chaotic cheers.

"My lord, great victory! Jiangnan great victory!"

Soon, an official rushed into Wenyuan Pavilion, out of breath: "My lord, a great victory in the south of the Yangtze River! Quanzhou has been destroyed, and the hypocrisy has been destroyed!"

From these words, the expressions of several cabinet ministers are also different, joyful, dark, worried... all kinds of conflicting emotions are intertwined.

"Okay, got it."

In the end, it was Lai Zongdao who signaled the official to step down.

When the official stepped down, the three cabinet ministers who had been having a good time chatting with each other were all silent.

It has been several years since Daheng established the country, and those things back then were naturally no secret to them.

That Duke Yasukuni has never been a kind person!

But this time, Lord Yasukuni led the army, destroyed Quanzhou, and wiped out the false Ming Dynasty...

that……

After a long silence, Yang Sichang broke the silence: "It seems that the prince of the inner court and the commander of the Imperial Battalion have not seen it for a long time?"

Hearing this, Lai Zongdao and Liu Qiyuan looked at each other subconsciously, and then they both seemed to think of something, but they felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

"Go, go to see His Majesty."

Lai Zongdao got up first, said a word, and then walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion. Seeing this, Liu Qiyuan and the other two followed closely behind.
