Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 73 The Dust Settles
At this moment, Wang Jia stood up, basically representing the pinnacle of civil servants except for the three cabinet scholars.Under such circumstances, everyone wants to save face. If such a boss speaks, you have to listen to him whether he agrees or disagrees.

Seeing Wang Jia stand up, Zhu Youtang also showed a smile on his face, and then said: "Please tell me, Aiqing!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Jia agreed, and then said: "The daily use of the imperial court is difficult, and salt and iron are great benefits. It is understandable that the imperial court accepts them for public use. It is a wise move to establish a salt and iron department. , if it starts to run suddenly, there is a fear of accidents, and once it runs unfavorably, it will hurt the imperial government's salt and iron policy and hurt the year's revenue."

As soon as Wang Jia said this, the hall was silent, and everyone knew what Wang Jia was going to do in an instant.

Sure enough, Wang Jia continued to say with a blank face: "Yantie originally belonged to the Ministry of Households, and now the Department of Yantie is assigned to the Ministry of Households. It can take advantage of the convenience of the Ministry of Households, and it can also open a new beginning for the administration of Yantie. The best of both worlds. If the Yantie Division runs well in the future and is stable, the imperial court can also make the Yantie Division independent, right?"

Everyone present knew that Wang Jia was talking nonsense, why would he become independent in the future? If he could become independent, then there would be a ghost, and you could spit out what you ate?

"The Department of Salt and Iron belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The imperial court can order a servant to be in charge of the Department of Salt and Iron. In this way, the Department of Users can be changed, and the department of Yan and Iron can be kept new. Both the old and the new will be convenient." Wang Jia continued, with the same tone. It is very peaceful, but this sentence is like dropping a big stone on the water, causing the water to splash three layers of waves.

Wang Jiazhi mainly raised two points of opinion. The first is to place the Department of Salt and Iron under the Ministry of Housing. Wouldn't it be great to set up a new yamen so that the old hands and connections of the user department could also be used to implement the new policy?

At the same time, Wang Jia also expressed another meaning, Your Majesty, do you believe in those noble people?If they are really asked to set up a new yamen to do it, wouldn't it be an accident?To put it bluntly, Wang Jia just wanted to put Yantiesi in the household department, so as to block the possibility of Xungui and his relatives reaching out.

The second article is to set up a title of servant of the household department, who is in charge of the salt and iron department, and prevents the original two household servants from being in charge of the salt and iron department. This is to appease those civil officials who want to be promoted.

Don't you want to be on top?Give you a servant of the household department, or a director of salt and iron, should you be satisfied now?
As soon as Wang Jia's words fell, a group of civil servants stood up, and even a few who had opposed the placement of the Yantie Division in the household department just now stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Shilang is here. If you are old enough to seek the country, the ministers will reconsider, and the ministers will reconsider!"

The offense and defense were switched in an instant, and it was Xungui and Xunqi's turn to have nothing to do in an instant, and they were a little dazed for an instant.

At this time, Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar, also stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I also feel that this is an old-fashioned way to seek the country."

After Li Dongyang stood up, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian also stood up and said at the same time: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

It is not surprising that the three cabinet scholars stand up. Before the civil servants have reached a collective opinion, it is inconvenient for the three cabinet scholars to express their views, but once they have reached a collective opinion, they must express their position, otherwise they will definitely be attacked, and even I will put on the old hat of the paper-pasted Sange.

Now everyone's eyes are on Zhu Youtang, waiting for the emperor's decision.

Zhu Youtang glanced across the court, and then said: "Then act according to Wang Aiqing's instructions, place the Yantie Division in the Ministry of Households, and order one person to be in charge of the Salt and Iron Division, and add the title of Minister of the Household Department. The cabinet, you see To see who is suitable, draw up a list and send it up." Zhu Youtang waved his hands, stood up and said, "Let's retreat!"

After retreating from the court, Zhang Heling walked out dejectedly, with an expression of who am I and where am I.

The original plan was good, but the plan given by the prince, why did it fail?The surrounding Xungui took a few steps to catch up with Zhang Heling, and asked, "Marquis Shouning, what's going on? Now that things have come to an end, you have to think of a way!"

Zhang Heling is not a quick-witted person, let alone a top-notch person, and it is impossible to talk about tricks and so on. How could there be any way.

In fact, another reason why nobles can't do civil servants is that civil servants are all talents. You must know that civil servants are selected from among the best scholars in the world. How many talents are there?Even if they are still alive, they can't do it, and with the playful temperament they have cultivated in the deep house since they were young, it is basically impossible for them to work as civil servants.

His mind, bearing, and outlook on the overall situation are all far behind. Even if it is a conspiracy, it is not an opponent of a civil servant.

It's just that what you watch in this world is not these things, but more things, such as playing football, it doesn't matter whether you play well or not, the referee is the master of the game.In the case of match-fixing, if you score a goal and you are offside, you will be blown away. If you foul in the penalty area and give the opponent a penalty, do you still want to win?

Zhang Heling is now the home team, and Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youtang's father and son are the referee and black whistle.

Seeing that he was surrounded by Xungui, Zhang Heling quickly said: "You wait, I will enter the palace!" After speaking, he squeezed through the crowd and ran towards the harem.

The civil servants all laughed when they saw this scene. Although there were some twists and turns today, it was still a complete victory. Shouninghou’s plans all fell through, and Yantiesi was still under the name of the household department. The water is empty.It's hard for a civil servant not to laugh, so it couldn't be better, okay!
The three cabinet scholars looked at each other, and Li Dongyang said helplessly: "After all, it's a mess!"

Xie Qian said angrily: "A group of self-righteous idiots, look at their happiness, and soon they will cry."

Liu Jian glanced at Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, and said with a wry smile: "At this point, we have no other choice. After all the calculations, we are still in a trap. Now that Marquis Shou Ning is entering the palace, he must be looking for them." Your Majesty, the person begging must be the chief officer of the Yantie Division, and in order to appease the nobles, His Majesty probably agreed."

"We can't stop this time." Liu Jian said helplessly: "Xungui also needs to be appeased. Fortunately, he is still on the side of the household department, and he can still have some control."

The three of them were silent, His Majesty didn't give Xungui any face, after hearing what the civil servants said, it was also his intention to appease Xungui, no one could say anything about it.What's more, the appointment must still be a civil servant. Are you going to give the emperor back?No one has the guts to do so. The cabinet scholars are all appointed by the emperor. Do you want to deprive the emperor of the power to appoint officials?He was directly dismissed by the emperor with the power to appoint officials.

There is a joke in later generations. Someone proposed to abolish the one-vote veto of the permanent members of the United Nations. This proposal was rejected by one vote, which is similar to this.
