Chapter 141: Picturesque Rivers and Mountains (7)
As midnight approaches, on West Chang'an Street, there are still several houses in Yang Shiqi's mansion that are brightly lit.
The emperor personally led the army to leave Beijing, and the country's small matters were all on the cabinet. Although it was the cabinet's rule in the past, there was not much difference between whether there was an emperor or not, but when Zhu Yunwen left Beijing, the cabinet suddenly felt unsure.
Maybe it was because after the previous approval of the government, the memorial had to leave the emperor's place to criticize the emperor. Now that the emperor is not in Beijing, the memorial was taken to the palace to find the empress dowager. The empress and the two women knew what to do. The matters of the memorial were temporarily suspended, and all the matters of the big and small were discussed by the cabinet and Zhu Gaochi.
If something goes wrong, everyone is afraid that Zhu Yunwen will come back and cause trouble.
The four ministers of the cabinet, Bao Zhao, were determined to retire, and he would not speak out for some sensitive topics. Yu Xin only cared about household and business, and did not care about anything else. Fang Xiaoru wanted to dominate the world, but he did not have the ability, so the affairs of the world were almost completely on Yang Shiqi's shoulders.
Fortunately, there is Zhu Gaochi.
These days, Zhu Gaochi has gained a reputation in the cabinet. Whether it is ability or demeanor, Zhu Gaochi has the legacy of the wise and monarchs in classics. He has a unique and unique view on the political affairs of each province. He has actually helped the cabinet and Yang Shiqi deal with many difficult problems.
"The descendants of Taizu are not simple."
Yang Shiqi looked through several Shandong memorials in his hand, and thought of this and was amazed.
"Dong, dun."
There was a sound of the portal, and outside the bamboo paper, a shadowy figure bent on his back.
"Gei Master, please see Your Highness Prince Yan."
Thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here?
What did he do when he came to me in the middle of the night?
Yang Shiqi was wrong and hurriedly put down the report in his hand and walked over to the door to divide the left and right.
"Take me there."
The master and servant walked through the corridor along the dim paper lanterns and walked to the main hall. Yang Shiqi saw Zhu Gaochi standing quietly with his hands behind his back.
"Your Highness, Prince?"
With a light call, Yang Shiqi stepped forward and bowed slightly. Zhu Gaochi quickly turned around and returned the greeting, saying "Ge Lao Yang".
The main hall door was wide open, and there was wind on all sides, which dispelled the sultry heat of Nanjing in midsummer. The two of them sat left and right, and Yang Shiqi asked.
"This is the point, why did Your Highness come to the humble house?"
A servant brought tea, and Zhu Gaochi paused until he was gone until there was no one on the left and right before he spoke.
"The Five Military Offices have just received a good news from Taiwan, and the entire territory has been recovered. The Fujian-Zhejiang Navy is about to transfer to the three islands of Ryukyu."
The rules set by Zhu Yunwen were all handed over to the Five Military Offices, and they were no longer transferred from the Tongzheng Department. Therefore, the cabinet has always been ignorant of military information. Zhu Gaochi is a clan relative and the country's supervisor, so he has to care about both military and political affairs.
Taiwan’s Joseons? What’s the reason to tell me?
Yang Shiqi was slightly stunned, unable to understand what Zhu Gaochi meant, so he quickly calculated it. To recover lost land, he would inevitably have to transfer the system, that is, to set up an official office and send officials. Then this matter could be brought to the cabinet early in the morning to discuss. Of course, the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate will verify and recommend it.
"Your Majesty left a sage before leaving the capital. Taiwan has been trapped in the thief for many years. After this recovery, it will be necessary to establish a province to coordinate the affairs of the southeast coastal islands."
Zhu Gaochi said, "But the sacred intention of this matter is nothing but the cabinet, so I came to know the old man Yang, you can know it."
Is it not a cabinet to settle the province?
Yang Shiqi's face was moved, what is this operation?
The provincial government is just a cabinet, where does the officials come from? A new executive announced the Ministry of Political Affairs, with at least hundreds of officials and clerks. Moreover, according to Zhu Gaochi's opinion, the archipelago on the southeast coast must be classified as the jurisdiction of this new Taiwan Administration Commission. For such a big thing, the emperor actually made a decision long ago?
"This matter is just a cabinet. How to select materials to enrich the office?"
Holding the tea bowl, Yang Shiqi's heart began to tremble slightly. He suddenly remembered that since the emperor left Beijing, Zhu Gaochi seemed to have run hard as the grandson of the past hidden in his residence?
The court officials had rumors in private, but the officials who had brought up Pinyi would not believe that Zhu Gaochi had such courage to cuckold the emperor.
So, what did the emperor's hidden residence do if he had nothing to do?
"Of course, I have already had the candidates. The emperor said that Mr. Yang is a confidant and important official. If I have any questions, I must go with Mr. Gong more and ask Mr. Gong to make an idea."
As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi took out a memorial from his sleeve and placed it on the table between the two, and said softly.
"The new Taiwan Administrative Office, the list of officials above and below are here."
Yang Shiqi hurriedly took it, opened it and looked closely, but was shocked.
None of the names in this memorial was known to him!
Where did these people come from?
The grandson secret residence!
A sudden thunder broke out in Yang Shiqi's heart. In recent years, Zhu Yunwen has trained a group of officials by himself! An emperor who combines the power of the world and a master who has firmly held the supreme throne, why do you still have to train a group of officials alone?
What does he want to do?
Over the years, Yang Shiqi has already knew what kind of king Zhu Yunwen was. The moment Zhu Gaochi took out the list, it was explained that the people on this list were not the strong men who were temporarily pulled out by the emperor, but felt that they could have the strength to stand alone, and the emperor had chosen an excellent place for them.
The freshman Taiwan Chenggong announced the Political Envoy Department!
A completely blank province is like a completely blank piece of painting paper, which can be left to them to render and outline.
The knowledge the emperor taught them was definitely not the policy system of the thirteen provinces in the Central Plains. Otherwise, the emperor would not have to train a group of officials alone in secret.
Taking Taiwan as a pilot, the emperor is verifying through practice whether his thoughts can be realized through the hands of these officials, if possible?
Yang Shiqi no longer dared to think about it.
Anyone who has left the world can operate as usual. As long as someone takes over the position of that person, even the emperor is not worth it. But if no one can replace the position of the vacant one, they will not move easily.
Where did such people emerge?
How many people are there like this?
Yang Shiqi already knew why Zhu Gaochi was coming to find him. If such a thing is revealed, there will inevitably be a big earthquake in the court.
The scholars of the world studied hard and advanced to the imperial examination. Isn’t it just to become officials? As a result, the emperor himself created another party and robbed the position of scholars all over the world. What else can the imperial examination be carried out in the imperial examination in the court? What is the meaning of studying?
"Only the Duke of Wei in the Five Military Offices knows about Taiwan's victory. Now you and me are just added. Within a year and a half, Your Majesty does not want any rumors in the court."
Zhu Gaochi stood up and explained again.
"It's hot. I'm going to lay off a group of older workers from Xiaoling to return home. The cabinet will approve it."
Yang Shiqi suddenly realized something.
“Where to go?”
"Shaoxing Prefecture, where King An and Zhu Ying are, Uncle An and is honest and honest. In recent years, the instructions of the sage edict have been implemented well."
After saying that, Zhu Gaochi turned around and left, leaving Yang Shiqi alone in a daze.
It's long and long, and it's hard to fall asleep.
