Prince of Chaos

Chapter 495
Shen Sixiao and Fan Qian were arguing, if this had been put before, even if it was a quarrel, it couldn't be caused by the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

After all, although the two are of the same grade, there is still a difference in status.

However, as the cement allocation power in the hands of the Ministry of Industry became more and more important, the Ministry of Industry's right to speak naturally began to increase.

Shen Sixiao said in a calm tone: "Uncle Da Zong, pay attention to your body and don't get too emotional. We are discussing the matter as it stands, and we should not extend it to other places."

Shen Sixiao looked at Fan Qian who was getting more and more anxious. He knew that Fan Qian was also a sick child, so he kindly reminded him that he would be so angry that he would not pay for his life.

Fan Qianqian's Shen Sixiao almost had a cerebral thrombosis on the spot, and it was Shen Sixiao who initiated the personal attack.It's good now, but he reminded himself of being a good person.

This made Fan Qian very angry.

Seeing Fan Qian's complexion changed, Wang Jiaping also became nervous.

He was also worried that Fan Qian had something good or bad at this time.

Therefore, Wang Jiaping immediately stood up and said: "Your Highness, I think that Fan Shangshu's heart is also worried about the country, and there is absolutely no suspicion of disrupting the country by prophecy."

"It is an indisputable fact that the capital has not been sunny for a long time. I secretly think that this matter cannot be treated normally. As for whether the continuous snowfall is due to the lack of righteousness in the court, I dare not say. But the minister I think this snow must be a warning from heaven to Daming."

Wang Jiaping's speech is still a bit artistic, and he picked Fan Qian clean in a few words, and then affirmed that the snow of the capital as a cabinet minister was a warning from heaven.

This step is really wonderful.

However, when Shen Sixiao heard Wang Jiaping's words, he did not hesitate.

Shen Si filial piety: "Old Wangge, I don't agree with you. As a cabinet minister, the old man should take the country's affairs as the most important thing. If you put all your energy on this so-called warning from heaven, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse and ruining the emperor and the country?" Your Highness's trust in the old man?"

Although it is true that Wang Jiaping is a cabinet minister, sometimes the cabinet ministers are not necessarily as strong as the six ministers who hold real power.

Moreover, since the establishment of the cabinet in Ming Dynasty, it has never been clarified that the cabinet ministers can control the six ministries. Therefore, in a sense, as long as they are not chief ministers or powerful cabinet ministers, the six ministries will not ignore those small and transparent cabinets at all. Like the last cabinet minister.

Because, no one can tell, the next time the emperor promotes the cabinet ministers, whether he will directly promote the six ministers or the six ministers as cabinet members.

Some lucky officials may have been directly promoted to chief assistant or second assistant without ever being in the cabinet.On the contrary, there are some cabinet ministers who entered the cabinet early but have always been in the bottom position, but they have a high probability of being the last cabinet minister.

Therefore, Shen Sixiao, who has become stronger now, is not afraid of Wang Jiaping.

Moreover, Shen Sixiao also thought that he was so young, if he hadn't come from a non-Hanlin family, he might have the opportunity to join the cabinet.

Therefore, Shen Sixiao is also considered barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. Anyway, he is now an extremely human minister. According to the unspoken official rule that non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet, he can be regarded as the top of the sky if he can do six ministers. There is no need to submissively be a clay bodhisattva.

Wang Jiaping almost rolled his eyes at Shen Sixiao's words, but fortunately, he cultivated his spirit well enough, so Wang Jiaping didn't become angry on the spot.

However, just because Wang Jiaping didn't respond, it didn't mean the others didn't respond.

Sun Piyang, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who had always been at odds with Shen Sixiao, came out to speak.

Sun Piyang is a native of Fuping County, Yaozhou, Xi'an Prefecture, Xi'an Prefecture, and is considered a fellow villager with the great leader.

However, Sun Piyang did not have the consciousness of leaning towards Beichen. He was ideologically mixed with some Nanchen, and there was a faint political inclination of some Donglin Party members.

However, it is not obvious. After all, the birth of the Donglin Party is also accidental, and its nature is still a feature of a feudal bureaucratic group, unlike the Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, etc., which are regionally differentiated cronies.Therefore, it is normal for Sun Piyang to have the characteristics of a Donglin Party member.

Sun Piyang is also a veteran of the six ministers, and his qualifications are quite strong. In the six courts, he successively served as the right servant of the transfer department, the minister of the punishment department, and the minister of the official department. He is also quite popular in the court.

As for the reason why he failed to join the cabinet all his life, it was the same as Shen Sixiao, he was a Jinshi from the top three and did not become a noble in the Imperial Academy, so at the highest, he could only go around in the six departments.

Sun Piyang said: "Da Sikong said too much. Wang Ge is always an important minister in the cabinet. How can he put the cart before the horse? The capital has not been clear for a long time, which is rare. Since the early dynasty, disasters in various parts of Ming Dynasty have been significantly higher than normal, and the long snow in the capital is a warning from heaven."

Zhu Changluo, who was sitting on a high place, narrowed his eyes, there was something in this Sun Piyang's words.

In a blink of an eye, the contradiction was directed at Emperor Wanli.

This is not a good phenomenon, Zhu Changluo must stop it.

Zhu Changluo said: "Sun Shangshu means that the capital has been snowing for a long time, and it was caused by the father?"

Hearing Zhu Changluo's sudden voice, Sun Piyang trembled.

He instantly felt that there was something wrong with what he said, which offended the crown prince.

Sun Piyang immediately knelt down and said, "The minister made a mistake."

Zhu Changluo said: "Father is worried about state affairs, so that the dragon's body is not safe. Such a diligent emperor, how can God punish Daming? Today I want to discuss with you the issue of Jiuxue in the capital. It is not for you to use this topic to slander Father's."

Zhu Changluo first determined the reason why Emperor Wanli did not go to court, and then maintained the authority of Emperor Wanli from the perspective of a minister.

The reason for doing this is also very simple, that is, the legal order and legitimacy of his supervision of the country are derived from the imperial power represented by Emperor Wanli.

If Emperor Wanli was attacked, he would still act as if nothing had happened. In the future, when Emperor Wanli was gone, wouldn't these people be targeting him?

Therefore, Zhu Changluo must speak out to defend Emperor Wanli and reprimand Sun Piyang for his disloyalty.

After the ministers present heard Zhu Changluo's words, they all stood up and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, if my minister is dead, I will see clearly that I have absolutely no intention of slandering your father."

Zhu Changluo looked at the ministers in the hall, and he already had a rough idea of ​​where these people were standing.

Behind Shen Shixing is Shen Sixiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and his household department in charge.

Wang Xijue is a centrist, and behind him is Li Chengliang, Minister of the Ministry of War, who he would recognize even if he pinched his nose.

But Wang Jiaping at the last seat took Zhu Changluo by surprise.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Xijue was attacked several times by scholars and literati, he quietly secured his position as the leader of the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Officials, and Ministry of Punishment among the six ministries.

This made Zhu Changluo look up at Wang Jiaping.

No wonder Wang Jiaping has become more and more active recently. It turns out that his strength has increased greatly.

However, what about the increase?

He was still the younger brother of the cabinet, and he always relied on the opinions of Shishi Bank when drafting and making decisions in the cabinet.

Moreover, how long can Fan Qian, the Minister of Rites behind him, last this sick man?

Zhu Changluo has been in prison for a year now, and he should have his own ideas and decisions.

It's time for Zhu Changluo, some officials of the Sixth Ministry, to make a move to increase his prestige.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo is not worried at all about the impact of the current court structure on his power.

On the contrary, these people, can they recognize the reality, who is the head of Daming now?

If you still can't recognize it clearly, Zhu Changluo doesn't mind finding a reason to put aside those who can't recognize the reality clearly, so as to consolidate his position as the core of power in the past year of supervising the country.
