Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 90 Cracks
Seeing that the person recommended by Gao Gu was immediately approved by His Royal Highness King Yu, and thinking that his proposal had just been rejected twice, Chen Xun couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

The so-called servants of the servants are distinguished, but they are also limited by this.

Just like now, when Your Majesty wants to rely on him, he will let it go, but if Your Majesty wants to distance himself, he can only stand obediently as a clay statue, and there is no way.

Zhu Qiyu had never met the great man of later generations, otherwise, he would have expressed a deep understanding of the wisdom of his old man.

The so-called "no party outside the party", "imperial ideology" and "no faction within the party" are all kinds of strange things.

Officialdom, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a arena for various forces. Even within a small faction, there will be conflicts of interest.

Since the cabinet took over the power of voting, its status in the court has become increasingly important, so the two cabinet ministers who were originally calm, naturally have their own careful thoughts.

Now the cabinet is dominated by Chen Xun, but is Gao Gu really willing?
Zhu Qiyu knew in his heart that it would definitely not be the case. Originally, it was because the cabinet was based on the Hanlin Academy, and Chen Xun had always controlled the Hanlin Academy, so Gao Gu followed him step by step.

But this does not mean that Gao Gu himself has no ambitions. In the officialdom, who can escape the shackles of fame and fortune?

Not to mention anything else, in the previous life, when the danger of the capital was resolved, the two began to fight openly and secretly, vying to recommend their own people.

Wang Wen was recommended by Gao Gu at that time, and now Zhu Qiyu has just advanced the process...

After deciding on the candidate for the Minister of Border Patrol, Zhu Qiyu added: "Just now, the day when the Ministry of Rites agreed on the enthronement ceremony is not far away. After the ceremony, the system of the banquet can be restored. Regarding the knowledge of the banquet, I don't know about the two gentlemen. Is there a choice?"

The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the feasting system.

The so-called classic feast is actually the emperor or the prince and the ministers together, lectures on the history of the scriptures, and discusses the major affairs of the country. One is to enhance knowledge, and the other is to achieve a more unified political direction between the ruler and the minister. It is not a simple reading. Only, more in the name of reading, in order to govern practice.

Generally speaking, the emperor starts from Yin Shi, and goes to court at Mao Shi. After the morning dynasty, there is a banquet until noon, and the afternoon is used to deal with the affairs of the court.

Chen Xun and Gao Gu glanced at each other. It was normal for King Yu to resume the feast, but...

"His Royal Highness, the scriptures and banquets were originally in charge of the Hanlin Academy. When the Son of Heaven was there, the British public servant Zhang Fu knew about the scriptures and banquets. Now that the British public died in civil engineering, it should be attributed to the Hanlin bachelor as usual."

It was Gao Gu who spoke.

You must know that the so-called feast of the classics is different from the official position, it is a dispatch, there is no salary to get it, but the symbolic meaning is very strong.

In addition to the early dynasties, the day of the banquet was the most frequent occasion for courtiers to contact the emperor, and the officials in charge of the banquet were naturally those who were deeply relied on by the emperor.

Because it is a dispatch, it gives the emperor great discretion, as long as the official position is not too low, he can serve concurrently.

When the Son of Heaven was there before, in order to show the importance of his trust to the nobles and Qi, he always handed over the affairs of the feast to the British public servant Zhang Fulai.

But in fact, as Gao Gu said, this matter should have been the responsibility of the Imperial Academy. After all, the lecturers were all selected from the Imperial Academy.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, his face still sincere: "It should be like this, but now the two gentlemen are also responsible for voting, plus the feast day, I am afraid of lack of energy, so another minister is selected to be responsible for this matter. it is good."

Chen Xun couldn't help dripping cold sweat on his forehead.

If it is said that the proposal to reject his own just now is based on the actual situation, then the current knowledge of the classics and feasts is a real disillusionment.

You must know that the reason why he didn't speak just now was because he was in charge of the Hanlin Academy now, so he would be suspected of boasting.

But Gao Gu has already said it so clearly, King Yu still refused to hand over the knowledge and feast to the Hanlin Academy, only to show the meaning of beating.

In the past, the person in charge of the banquet was the Duke of England. His old man was the co-minister appointed by the late emperor, so it was enough that he was highly respected.

Now that the British Lord is dead, if the Hanlin Academy still can't get the knowledge back, then if it spreads out, I don't know what kind of rumors there will be...

After thinking for a while, Chen Xun still didn't dare to speak to Zhu Qiyu's warm gaze, and said, "His Royal Highness's words are reasonable, the minister thinks that this matter is elected with high morality, and it is good for a virtuous and talented minister to serve concurrently. Boss, you can do this."

Fair enough.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "That's very good, the cabinet is now very busy, the king's intention, you can choose two more cabinet ministers, the cabinet counselor, among the many ministers in the court, if the two gentlemen feel suitable, go back and hand Here is a list for this king, I will stop here today, the two gentlemen will return."

Before the two could react, they were ordered to evict them. They had no choice but to get up and leave.

After leaving the hall and returning to the direct room of the cabinet, Chen Xun still frowned and asked, "Shi Yong, what do you see in today's affairs?"

Gao Gu sighed, pondered for a moment and said: "How can I not see it, His Highness's move is clearly warning me to wait..."

Gao Gu didn't say anything to warn, but Yuan didn't have to say it.

It's nothing more than about the edict...

Chen Xun blushed and said, "I am indeed reckless about the edict of succession. I thought that the Empress Dowager would act generously, so I didn't ask Her Highness for instructions in advance, and that's all."

Gao Gu shook his head and said, "I can't blame you entirely. I am waiting for the servants to be like this. Even if there is no edict, I am afraid that His Highness will find an opportunity to beat me."

"The matter of the banquet is more important than the actual status. His Highness took the matter of the banquet in order to let us serve with all our heart. As for handing it over to Uncle Zong, I still have some respect for the Hanlin Academy."

After all, Hu Xun was also one of the five assistant ministers. He came to know the scriptures and feast, and it could not be regarded as a loss of face in the Hanlin Academy.

However, Chen Xun's eyes were flickering, and the feast of knowledge was indeed so good, but it was for the cabinet as a whole.

For himself, this is not necessarily the case. You must know that in the palace just now, His Royal Highness King Yu clearly showed a sense of alienation to him, and closer to Gao Gu.

This point was avoided by Gao Gu intentionally or unintentionally.

After thinking about it, Chen Xun didn't mention it at all, but instead said: "When I just left, His Highness asked me to wait for the recommenders to be elected to the cabinet. I don't know this matter, what do you think about Shiyong?"

Gao Gu said with a wry smile: "These days, the cabinet is busy, and His Highness is indeed sympathetic to me, but listening to His Highness, it seems that I don't want to choose people from the Hanlin Academy, otherwise, I will not let me. Wait until you recommend candidates, and then decide.”

Since the cabinet took over the right to vote, the two have been busy turning around, and they also intend to recruit some colleagues to join the cabinet as counselors.

But as Gao Gu said, what they want is to help them, not to decentralize.

King Yu nominally gave them the right of recommendation, but inside and out, he secretly pointed out that he should be selected from among the ministers of the imperial court, not from the Hanlin Academy.

This has to make them embarrassed...

For a long time, neither of them spoke, and in the end, it was Chen Xundao: "It is better for you and me to recommend candidates first, and only wait for His Highness to choose. The intention is self-evident. In the end, His Highness's move is still intended to raise the cabinet. That's always true."

Gao Gu nodded, whether it was from the outer court or from the Hanlin Academy, at least, the cabinet is growing, which is a good thing.

However, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Chen Xun said that by letting them choose each other, the meaning of alienation was already there.

After all, the two of them can't go back to the trust of the previous days...
