Chapter 673: Pro-government (two-in-one)(2/2)
"Dear sirs, let's continue our discussion from the last court meeting.
The three-year period for the five auxiliary ministers designated by Emperor Ruizhong has expired. I propose to revoke the power of the five auxiliary ministers to govern. How did you discuss it after you retired from the court?"
Liu Mingzhi had just knelt down and was startled when he heard Li Ye's words.
"Sure enough, as I thought, Li Ye is planning to take back the three-year assistantship rights from the five auxiliary ministers, and he wants to take charge."
It seems that Li Ye's sudden urgent call back to Beijing is closely related to the pro-government matter.
But, I'm afraid it's more than that.
Just for this matter, the exchange of letters was enough, so why did he rush to call himself back to Beijing?
In a hurry, speaking less and listening more is the right choice.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Li Ye vaguely, sat down quietly, and turned his attention to Xia Gongming, Wei Yong, and Tong Sansi.
I want to see the reaction of these three old foxes who are also auxiliary ministers.
However, as soon as Young Master Liu turned his eyes, he discovered that while he was peeking at them, the three old foxes were also secretly peeping at him, obviously wanting to see what his reaction would be.
For a moment, Mr. Liu's thoughts became strange.
Once the power of the auxiliary ministers to make ad hoc decisions is removed, it means that the prestige and influence of the five ministers among the officials will plummet.
The four people's eyes met for a moment, and each of them looked away, secretly glancing at the reactions of the officials in the palace.
Liu Mingzhi and the other two were observing the officials' reactions, and Li Ye was silently observing the officials' reactions.
The five auxiliary ministers, my uncle and Mr. Yunyang are away from home all year round and are not in the court.
Now 80% of the officials are attached to the left and right prime ministers and the censor of Yidu, and have become the disciples of the three of them.
If we don't stop him at this time, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for him to take charge of the government in the future.
At this time, I also discussed this matter with my grandmother Nangong Meng and my queen mother Chen Jie, and both of them supported my suggestion.
I believe that taking office is imminent at this time and there is no time to delay!
It’s just that Nangong Meng believes that if this matter is to succeed, the support of Side by Side Wang Liu Mingzhi is indispensable. Only with his support can the revocation of the rights of the Minister of Assistant Affairs be carried out smoothly!
Otherwise, I am afraid that the prime minister on the left, the prime minister on the right, and the imperial censor will use various reasons to dissuade you.
Xia Yushi was a veteran of the four dynasties and was loyal to the country. Nangong Meng was not worried that he would hold on to power. Even if he did not let go, there must be reasons. But it was hard to say for Wei Xiang and Tong Xiang.
Especially the Tong Xiang. In the days when Wei Xiang took office, 40% of the officials followed the Tong Xiang.
If this continues, where will the grandson's majesty as the emperor in the court be placed?
Sure enough, things were not as expected by Nangong Meng.
When Liu Mingzhi was still on his way to Beijing, Li Ye raised the matter and was unanimously opposed by 80% of the officials.
The reason is nothing more than that Li Ye is still young and unfamiliar with court affairs. It is not the best time to take charge of the government now, and he still needs to hone his skills for two years.
In a word, I just don’t want Li Ye to take back the rights of the Assistant Minister now.
As soon as Li Ye came to court, he did not go through the tedious greetings in the past and told the matter as soon as he sat down.
The basic purpose was to tell his uncle the reason why he was summoned urgently.
Those words were indeed meant for the officials to hear, but the most important thing was to tell my uncle the reasons behind the incident and see if his reaction would be the same as the officials' refutation of his actions.
All the officials secretly glanced at Mr. Liu instinctively, with complicated and different thoughts.
No wonder King Bingjian, who was guarding Northern Xinjiang, suddenly came to Beijing to go to court at this time. It turned out that His Majesty was behind the scenes.
There is a king with heavy troops on the battlefield for His Majesty...
Many officials who were attached to Tong Sansi and the others glanced at the backs of their respective superiors, and their expressions became complicated.
With King Bingjian's past style, as long as he agrees to hand over the power of decision-making and court discussions to the assistant ministers, the three of them, Prime Minister Wei, Prime Minister Tong, and the Imperial Censor, will no longer be able to use excuses to refuse.
I am afraid that the King of Side by Side will not give them this opportunity.
Many quick-thinking veterans became worried when they saw Young Master Liu sitting there twiddling his thumb.
King Bingjian had the privilege granted by the late emperor to obey the orders but not the announcements. Now that the Northern Expedition is getting tight, he can make an excuse to decline.
However, he obeyed the order and came to Beijing honestly, and many officials suddenly had a bad premonition.
Based on King Bingjian's past loyalty to the court, if His Majesty opens his mouth, I am afraid that the prince will most likely hand over his rights without hesitation.
Otherwise, why would the prince enter the palace at this important moment?
"My dear friends, why are you silent? It's been three days. Could it be that you haven't negotiated a result yet?"
Li Ye's questioning made the silent officials frown.
Subconsciously, he looked at the three superior officers, and finally fell on Young Master Liu who was sitting there with the old god in his presence.
Whether His Majesty can take back the rights of the Assistant Minister and take charge of the government as he wishes, I'm afraid it all depends on King Bingjian's thoughts.
As for the meaning of another auxiliary minister, King Zhongwu Yunyang, considering that King Bingjian is the nephew of Yun's eldest daughter-in-law Liu Ying, how could King Zhongwu be disobedient to King Bingjian.
Following the gazes of the officials, the gazes of the three auxiliary ministers Li Ye and Wei Yong gradually fell on Young Master Liu.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for him to speak.
Young Master Liu, who was in the presence of the old god, felt everyone's eyes on him, and his expression was strange.
He glanced at it casually, took out from his sleeve the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan given to him by Queen Yingzuiyan of Shanhaiguan, and fanned it gently, murmuring in his heart.
Damn it, I am not your father, why are you staring at me?
I'm not stupid, how could I be such a standout?
