Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"A few adults are going to meet His Majesty?"

It just so happened that Hong Chengchou had just arrived outside Wenyuan Pavilion, and seeing the three cabinet ministers coming out together, he couldn't help asking.

Lai Zongdao nodded and asked, "Master Hong, go together?"

"can."

Hong Chengchou nodded, glanced casually at the three cabinet ministers, seemed to be thinking, followed the three cabinet ministers, and went towards Qianqing Palace together.

At this moment, in Qianqing Palace, the Son of Heaven was relieved as he held this [-]-mile urgent victory report.

This battle is not a battle of time and timing. Strictly speaking, at least the Daheng national fortune must be stabilized before this battle can start.

At the time of internal and external troubles, starting such a big war is naturally taking a huge risk.

Shaanxi is in turmoil, and Mongolia is knocking on the edge...

If the war in the south of the Yangtze River is unfavorable, then the fortune of Daheng, which has just been stabilized, may be in jeopardy in an instant.

Fortunately, the first battle is successful!

Breaking through Quanzhou, destroying the vital false Ming center, and capturing...Emperor Jingwu!The recovery of Huguang, several provinces in Fujian, and the entire Jiangnan has almost been completely recovered. Only the Muwang Mansion in the borderland of Yunnan and Guizhou is still stubbornly resisting, but it is obvious that it is doomed to fail.

The unification of the world is already close at hand.

The next step is to practice internal skills diligently, consolidate the foundation, and accumulate foundation.

then……

The emperor looked to the north, his eyes flickering slightly, and then he looked at the implementation plan drawn up by the general staff on the table to sow and win over the various ministries of Mongolia.

"Mongolia……"

The emperor murmured softly, but couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

This Lin Danhan is really sad.

Being backstabbed by Dorgon like this, and then beaten by Zhao Wu, the loss was heavy, not to mention the loss of prestige, and the rear was even robbed by Dorgon who was fleeing.

Stealing chickens in this way will not lose money, which makes all the Mongolian ministries full of resentment.

In addition, now that the market is closed, winter is coming, there is a lack of food and clothing, and heavy losses, the living environment of the grassland is natural selection and the survival of the fittest.

What kind of scene the grassland will be at this time is undoubtedly very clear.

As thoughts flowed, Tianzi smiled brighter and brighter. That Lin Danhan made trouble for him more than once, making him burnt out.

Feng Shui takes turns, and now that Daheng is about to unify, it's Lin Danhan's turn to suffer.

I just don't know if he can hold on...

……

Chapter 581 Sadly Ended

The turmoil in Shaanxi, the order of Hong Chengchou to enter the cabinet, and the ensuing chaos created a turbulent turmoil in the capital.

People are panicked, and the undercurrent is surging.

Everything would have continued to spread, but with the arrival of this great victory in the south of the Yangtze River, it was like a Tai Sui God descended from the sky, directly suppressing all turmoil!

Defeat the Great Khan of Mongolia in the north, kill Taiji in Mongolia, and suppress the chaos in Shaanxi!

The Nanping Puppet Ming Dynasty won the First World War and established the land in the south of the Yangtze River!

Brilliant victories one after another, giving the unparalleled Daheng Bingfeng added power and momentum, and continued the myth of invincibility.

The power of the Son of Heaven, forged by such a mighty army, is enough to make anyone... daunting!

All of a sudden, the already chaotic government and the public suddenly returned to peace.

However, the news that followed was like thunder on the ground, shaking the government and the public.

Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, there has been a minister who is the chief assistant of the cabinet, Lai Zongdao, to hand in his resignation, begging for the bones!

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor held this turbulent resignation letter, his eyes seemed to be lost in thought.

The power of the world is concentrated in the emperor alone. In this land, it is inevitable for thousands of years of inheritance.

Thousands of years of history have clearly explained such advantages and disadvantages.

It is a wise king, with all the rights in one body, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and he will conquer all directions. If he is a faint king, no matter how tyrannical the national destiny is, he will be completely defeated.

Obviously, this kind of inheritance of rights has great disadvantages. Of course, it is very harmful to this country and the nation.

Just like Emperor Zhaowu, he was lucky to be able to train the next generation of Emperor Daheng to become a Mingjun.

After that, the probability of being born in peace and prosperity, growing up in a deep palace, and becoming a Mingjun...

Undoubtedly extremely low.

Even if he exhausted his whole life to leave Daheng a huge country and an unprecedented empire, he still couldn't afford to sell his father and don't feel sorry for him!

It is impossible for him to change his life, it is impossible to change his life, it is doomed, and there is a high possibility that the cub will sell his father's land in the future.

To avoid this situation, the imperial power needs to be restricted to a certain extent.

Just like the existence of the cabinet in the previous Ming Dynasty, it restricted the strength of the imperial power.

In the same way, if the emperor is a Mingjun, it is not impossible to take back his rights.

Obviously, if this is the case, the role of the cabinet is beyond doubt.

Even if he is suppressing the cabinet now, suppressing everything!

For the sake of the future, he will let go sooner or later. He will even take the initiative to suppress the disorderly expansion of the imperial power and act recklessly. In this world, draw a circle, enclose the imperial power, the minister's power, and the people of the world in this circle. Everyone, including him, the emperor, acted according to the rules in this circle.

Only in this way can everyone perform their duties, which is the real way to long-term stability.

In this way, the role of the cabinet is naturally very clear.

Check and balance the disorderly imperial power in the future, fill in the gaps in the fatuous imperial power, and maintain the stability of the empire.

If he wants to evolve according to his expectation, he must maintain absolute control over this cabinet. Only in this way can he reverse the cabinet bit by bit according to his own mind, and then through the cabinet, directly and deeply control the entire civil servants. system.

Only in this way can he rest assured that the rights that should belong to the court will be returned to the cabinet bit by bit, and returned to the various courtiers.

Otherwise, things like Shaanxi turmoil will happen sooner or later.

"Liu Qiyuan..."

The emperor murmured softly, coming to Zongdao to beg for the bones, and then Liu Qiyuan must take over as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

But in the Daheng Chaotang today, the only person with such qualifications and prestige is Liu Qiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In today's Daheng Dynasty Hall, the civil service line seems to be one under the oppression of martial arts, but in fact, there are also factions within it.

For example, most of the officials left over from the previous Ming Dynasty were vassals of Lai Zongdao, Liu Qiyuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the second assistant of the cabinet.

For example, the Civil Affairs Department of the Military Academy, and Wu Xun's transfer to civilian officials, these two types of officials are naturally another faction.

Between the two, it is far from incompatible, but there is definitely a clear line between them.

Liu Qiyuan's succession as the chief assistant of the cabinet naturally means that Daheng's bureaucratic system, strictly speaking, is still dominated by former Ming officials.

This is also the most important reason why he directly ignored the court push system and pulled Hong Chengchou into the cabinet.

As the emperor, he directly transferred Hong Chengchou to the cabinet, and those bureaucrats from another faction who had a clear distinction with the old ministers of the former Ming Dynasty would naturally move closer to Hong Chengchou.

In addition, Hong Chengchou has been in the south of the Yangtze River for many years and has worked with the Yue State, so there must be many contacts among the military officials. This is enough to check and balance the old officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Avoid the recurrence of turmoil caused by the former ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, when Hong Chengchou takes over as the chief assistant of the cabinet...

The emperor's thoughts gradually became deeper and deeper. The premise of being loyal to a minister is that the environment forces him to be loyal to the city. This point, his own experience, is undoubtedly extremely profound.

A minister who loses checks and balances will inevitably lose control.

Just like when he was the Duke of Qin assisting the government.

He didn't want the people under his command to push him forward and force him forward.

If you want harmony between the monarch and his subjects, you must ensure balance.

Those who don't plan for the world are not enough for a moment.Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain.

For the Son of Heaven, the vision must be far-reaching.

Putting down the resignation in his hand, he waved the pen, and a strong and accurate character appeared on the resignation. Immediately, the emperor's seal fell, and it was stamped on the resignation.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial decree was spread out, and a decree for rewarding the ancestors and Taoists among the brush strokes was formed accordingly.

Returning home with honor, this honor, the Son of Heaven, is still not stingy in rewarding.

"Send it to the cabinet."

The Son of Heaven uttered his voice, and the two virtues on the side immediately stepped forward, respectfully picked up the resignation letter and imperial decree, and headed out of the hall.

……

"My lord, Eunuch De is here."

Inside the cabinet, it was a busy scene, but following an official's report, the entire Wenyuan Pavilion suddenly froze, and the ministers subconsciously looked at Lai Zongdao, the chief minister of the cabinet who was processing the memorial.

As if realizing something, Lai Zongdao speeded up his pen, and the flamboyant handwriting was a little scribbled at the moment.

In the end, Lai Zongdao put down his pen and his arms trembled a little.

"Go...follow this pavilion and welcome the Holy Will!"

Lai Zongdao got up, and walked out of the hall step by step.

Seeing this, all the cabinet ministers and officials in the Wenyuan Pavilion followed closely behind and left the pavilion.

"Sir, see Your Majesty!"

The officials kowtowed and shouted.

Er Dezi held the imperial decree tightly, and said slowly:

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor's decree said: Daheng rose out of danger... the chief assistant came to Zongdao..."

"Give a crown and a belt to become an official, and play the right to discuss politics...Yin Qi Sun Zhaoyan entered the Daheng Academy of Engineering, rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and a thousand taels of silver..."

"Old minister, thank Your Majesty Long En!"

Even though he had expected and prepared for it, when this moment really came, Lai Zongdao still couldn't hide his trembling heart, with tears running down his face, he received the imperial decree tremblingly, and shouted loudly.

When the angel left, the officials got up one after another. Liu Qiyuan stepped forward and helped Lai Zongdao who was still kneeling on the ground to get up.

The officials were silent, and no one dared to speak at this moment.

Lai Zongdao looked at the Wenyuan Pavilion in front of him, and couldn't help but look around at the majestic imperial palace. In his cloudy eyes, a deep memory could not help but emerge.

A once-smug student, now the chief minister of the cabinet begging for bones...

It seems like a complete life...

But his life was full of ups and downs, witnessed the decline of the dynasty, and witnessed the establishment of another dynasty. Now, the prosperous age is approaching, and at the time of grand plans and great achievements, he quietly withdraws...

How can I be reconciled!

But... After all, he has more energy than he wants, he is already old and can't keep up with the times...

Chapter 582 Old and New

The deep winter has arrived, and as in previous years, this northern capital city has already been covered with a thick layer of silver frost.

But for the capital city, the center of the empire, it is still bustling and bustling. Even with the pacification of the south of the Yangtze River and the unimpeded communication between the north and the south, all kinds of rare things from all over the world gather here in an increasingly prosperous business environment. Among the capital.

On Qianmen Street, the convoy was slowly moving forward on this street. Lai Zongdao, who had retired from his post as Chief Assistant and returned to his hometown, leaned in the carriage and looked at the bustling capital city through the window, his eyes were cloudy In the midst of it, it was already an indescribable trance.

To be a minister under the authoritative and prosperous founding emperor, the most important thing is to know the current affairs.

As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and those who don't know the current affairs, in the Zhaowu Dynasty, most of them turned into dry bones.

Although he is the chief assistant, he must also be aware of current affairs.

The emperor washed the whole world with blood, changed and reversed everything in the world, but he never let the center of the court return to a normal state. The string puppets have completely failed to shoulder the authority and role that the real court center should play.

The reason why, he is naturally clear.

The emperor was not at ease with them, the old ministers of the former Ming Dynasty, and the scholar-bureaucrats of the former Ming Dynasty, and even did not trust them.

The emperor wants to divide little by little, and even disintegrate their sense of existence in the court and in the world like the old ministers of the former Ming Dynasty.

And this, of course, requires a process.
