Chapter 812 Sharing the Spirit
The eunuch Zhang Zuo, the chief inspector of ceremonies, was born in Qiandi Conglong, and came here from the Anluxing Palace with Emperor Jiajing. This is the biggest capital for him to be able to secure the top spot in the eunuch circle.

The Qin eunuch was personally promoted by Emperor Jiajing after he came to power, but he was not in the same group as Zhang Zuo and other old people in the mansion, let alone fellow travelers.

At the beginning, eunuch Qin wanted to enter the Sili Supervisor, but Zhang Zuo kept blocking him.

Later, the eunuch Qin killed the former eunuch Bi, the admiral of the East Factory, and replaced him. Because of his position in the East Factory, it was customary to be named the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of rituals.

The relationship between the Qin eunuch and Zhang Zuo is roughly like this. The palm seal of the No. [-] eunuch, Si Li Jian, and the No. [-] eunuch, the admiral of the East Factory, do not see each other. This is very characteristic of the Jiajing Dynasty. It is the same as the fact that the first assistant and the second assistant rarely have real harmony .

That's why the Qin eunuch was able to say that Zhang Zuo wanted to be the "true prime minister". It was really cruel, especially when he said it in front of the emperor.

Although the Supervisor of Rituals, as the representative of the Son of Heaven, participated in the official procedures of the court, the Supervisor of Rituals rarely had direct contact with the yamen of the outer dynasty.

If the ceremonial supervisor is in charge of the examination and the eunuch is in charge of the examination, it is tantamount to extending his tentacles directly to all the yamen in the outer dynasty.

In this case, the supervisor of ceremonies, especially the eunuch with palm seal, "both internally and externally", not only participates in decision-making at the center, but also supervises the external courts. What is this power not equivalent to "true prime minister"?
Looking through the history books, the only eunuchs with this level of power are probably the Han and Tang dynasties.

And then again, Zhang Zuo, the supervisor of ceremonies, jumped out to test the law, what is your intention?Do you want to emulate the Han and Tang Dynasties?

This is the viciousness of Zhang Zuo, the "connotation" of the Qin eunuch. After all, the eunuchs of the Han and Tang Dynasties have all done things to abolish establishments.

Of course Zhang Zuo couldn't tolerate this kind of connotation, and said angrily, "Then what do you want to do in Dongchang? It is said that you Dongchang are the emperor's minions and eyes. Could it be that the Qin eunuch is not willing to be just a minion and eyes and ears?"

Of course, Zhang Zuo is not stupid to be an eunuch in charge of ceremonies. He came forward to test the law just now, just to demolish Dongchang's platform.

You can't just watch the East Factory expand and do nothing, right?If eunuch Qin really got the test method, wouldn't he become the No. [-] eunuch?

Therefore, eunuch Zhang must speak out, and must show a clear-cut attitude, especially his attitude against Dongchang.

It is said that the Qin eunuch is not reconciled to being only the eyes and ears of the minions, and his viciousness is no less than that of the "true prime minister".

If tools such as minions, eyes and ears have independent thoughts, are they still tools?Can it still be completely controlled by the owner?

Watching the number one eunuch and the second eunuch had a few rounds of verbal confrontation, the ministers suddenly felt a little excited.

Most of the activities of eunuchs are usually in the palace, and there are not many interactions with ministers, and eunuchs generally do not speak at court meetings.

In particular, eunuchs can leave the palace, but ministers cannot easily enter the palace, so it is difficult for ministers to directly see the scene of eunuchs fighting each other with their own eyes.

Today's internal strife between the two eunuchs opened the eyes of many ministers, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The eunuchs attacked each other, which was much more vicious than civil servants.

Maybe I should also thank Qin Zhongtang for letting everyone watch a good show and get a glimpse of how the eunuchs fight among themselves.

When thinking of this, some people with more sensitive minds realized that Qin Zhongtang presided over the court meeting today—let's call it a presider, calling others to speak is very skillful.

When the Minister of the Ministry of Officials jumped out, he named Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who had relatively large political ambitions to speak; when Dongchang jumped out, he named and spoke with the seal of the Supervisor of Rites who wanted to suppress Dongchang.

Then Qin Zhongtang "guided" a few words in the middle, and in the end there was a lot of noise.

Hearing the two eunuchs quarreling, Emperor Jiajing scolded unbearably: "Zhang Zuo Qin Fu, you two are enough, shut up and leave! This is a matter for the court, so the inner eunuch should stop talking too much!"

From the words of these two people attacking each other, it can be easily analyzed that it is not acceptable for either of the two to preside over the test.

Because these two people have too much real power, their positions are too sensitive, and they are too close to the throne. If they get the test, they will be in danger of imbalance, and even threaten the imperial power.

So in the eyes of the emperor, you two eunuchs don't waste time, you can leave the stage, there is nothing for you here!

Eunuch Qin scolded a few words secretly, a certain little bastard has no conscience at all, so what if Dongchang takes advantage?
Don't even think about it, who gave you the opportunity to "Yiyantang" today!

Besides, the reason why Qin eunuch jumped out just now was because he saw that some ministers began to support the cabinet Yan Song, so he jumped out to attract firepower!

They are all surnamed Qin, why is there no tacit understanding at all!Haven't you discovered that only Dongchang can help you fight for power with the cabinet through the yin and yang means of fighting openly and secretly?

On this issue, the emperor's mind is unpredictable, don't think that you, Qin Zhongtang, can succeed with a large number of people!
Sometimes, having a large number of people and being powerful is a disadvantage, and your party members may not be able to play a role!

They are teammates like pigs!I don't know what is good or bad!Let's see how Qin Zhongtang fights with the cabinet!

However, it was said that the two eunuchs were first provoked by Qin Zhongtang, and after the emperor shouted back, the minds of the ministers became active again.

Excluded from outside risks, the meat is rotten in the pot again, so who can reach out to fish the meat out of the pot?
Qin Zhongtang, who became more and more proficient in the position of "hosting the court meeting", said calmly, "Who can tell me what the gentlemen said just now?"

Some people secretly complained, did Qin Zhongtang suffer from "forgetfulness"?Can't remember what happened not long ago?
Before taking the position of Zaifu, he got Zaifu's "rarely confused" disease!
Most of the people were very cautious and pretended to be deaf and dumb. After all, Qin Zhongtang had been in power for six years, and his habit of fishing was already widely known.

How do you know that this sentence of knowingly asking is not a bait?

Seeing this, Qin Dewei couldn't help sighing again in his heart, fishing is really getting more and more difficult.

But after all, there is no lack of "great wisdom", and he answered: "As I said just now, if the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not suitable, the test may as well be handed over to the cabinet to preside over the implementation!"

Qin Dewei asked again with a smile: "Then who suggested it? I can't remember."

"Great Cleverness" couldn't help being stunned, did you, Qin Zhongtang, even forget this?

Isn't it the case that Tu Qiao, the former censor of the left capital, quarreled with Xu Zan, the former official of the Ministry of Officials, and then Tu Qiao found out that he couldn't quarrel with the old bureaucrat Xu Zan, so he took the initiative to switch in decisively, and proposed to support the cabinet instead?

Besides, Tu Qiao, the "former censor of the left capital", got the opportunity to speak because he was named by you, Qin Zhongtang!How could you, Qin Zhongtang, have forgotten all by yourself?

Smelling danger from it, even "Big Clever" didn't dare to answer casually.

It may be possible to speak casually about things in the court, but it is very dangerous to speak casually about people.

In the silence, someone suddenly answered: "It was suggested by Zongxian Tu, can you, Qin Banqiao, really not remember?"

Everyone followed the reputation, but the person who answered was Xu Zan, the former Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Officials!Not caring about guessing Xu Zan's thoughts, everyone hurriedly went to see Qin Dewei's reaction.

Qin Zhongtang was still smiling, and said to Tu Qiao: "Tu Zongxian! I will give you another chance to organize your speech."

Tu Qiao had a premonition that something was wrong, but what was said in the middle could not be taken back and revised casually.

Besides, he doesn't think it's a big problem. Does he have to support you, Qin Dewei?Don't you, Qin Dewei, know what it means to speak freely?

One of the greatest political correctness of the Ming court is to speak freely!

Seeing that Zongxian Tu was obsessed with obsession, everyone was mentally prepared to face the Qin family's violent storm.

To be honest, many people gradually feel unaccustomed to Qin Dewei's "gentleness" today.

I also heard Qin Zhongtang say to Tu Qiao in a calm and unhurried manner: "In the past, after the emperor Gao abolished the prime minister, there was an edict that those who dared to restore the prime minister would be executed, and those who dared to praise the minister's benevolent government should be executed.

If you propose to let the cabinet preside over the examination, will it be misunderstood by the world? Do you have any ulterior motives? "

Tu Qiao: "."

Are these two things related?
Qin Zhongtang interpreted it a little bit: "Cabinet ministers are already in power, and if they have the test method, they can directly supervise hundreds of officials and various yamen through six departments, and they will have more weight.

Think about it carefully, how much worse is such a weighted cabinet than the prime minister?
Therefore, proposing that the cabinet manage examinations into a law is not fundamentally different from re-appointing a prime minister and praising ministers for their virtue.

Although there is no post of resuming the prime minister on the surface, in fact it is the right to revert to the prime minister. "

Everyone: "."

Can your interpretation of Qin Zhongtang be more blunt?You can't just abuse your right to speak just because it's a "one-word hall" now!
In the end, Qin Zhongtang said earnestly: "What's more, Zongxian Tu, as the head of the former Metropolitan Procuratorate, your duty should be to lead the censors and monitor the impeachment atmosphere of the officials, but you advocate giving the cabinet more weight, which is really disrespectful.

You Zongxian Tu only entered the court last year, and oftentimes your lack of experience leads to poor consideration.If you don't listen to the words of an old man like me, you will be at a disadvantage right in front of you.

Listen to my advice, you have to think carefully about this, and reorganize the language, okay? "

After hearing the last paragraph, many people suddenly felt that Qin Zhongtang's previous interpretation was not so blunt.

In fact, some people also understand Tu Qiao's thoughts. He may hope that Mr. Yan Ge will assign some responsibilities to the Metropolitan Procuratorate after he has obtained the power to pass the examination.

After all, it is impossible for the cabinet boss to personally do everything, so it is very logical to assign some specific work to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It should be said that it is human nature to want to fight for power, and Tu Qiao's words and deeds are understandable from the logic of official circles.

However, I really can't stand Qin Zhongtang's devil's interpretation of "One Word Tang"!
The eunuch Qin, who wanted to see a joke, suddenly felt that he might be superfluous?Maybe Qin Dewei doesn't want any teammates at all?
The original intention of the Qin eunuch who directly created today's "Yiyantang" was just to let Qin Dewei stand in a favorable position, no matter how the situation changes, he can advance and retreat with ease.

But unexpectedly, Qin Dewei still hid the idea of ​​"examination into the law", and started to make trouble by taking the opportunity of "Yiyantang".

At present, it seems that the Ministry of Officials is not good, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not good, the cabinet is not good, the East Factory is not good, and the Supervisor of Rites is not good!

If we use the method of elimination to make decisions, where should we go?
Qin Dewei kindly persuaded Tu Zongxian, the former censor of the Zuodu, to dismiss him, and said from left to right: "Success in the examination of the law is of great importance, and should not be ignored. You can speak freely!"

This will be really cold, there is really no "big cleverness".

But Emperor Jiajing opened his mouth and asked Qin Dewei: "If everything is according to your thoughts, I have no choice. Could it be that the only way is to go to the Military Aircraft Department?"

Qin Dewei hurriedly turned to the emperor, and said without hesitation: "If it is said that there is only the military plane, it is not!"

Emperor Jiajing obviously didn't believe it, and shouted again: "Then what do you mean? Could there be something more suitable?"

Qin Dewei replied: "What I have conceived is that the bottom books submitted by each yamen are placed in the military aircraft department, checked once a month, and checked once a year.

Then every time the audit results are reported to the cabinet by the Military Aircraft Department, the cabinet will deal with it! "

When everyone in the hall heard this, Qi Qi was very surprised. Could it be that Qin Dewei really changed today?Know how to divide power?This is the legendary spirit of sharing?

I thought you, Qin Zhongtang, were going to let the Military Aircraft Department monopolize the test, but you actually got involved with the cabinet.Judging from historical experience, it would not be so kind, right?Is it still bait?

Emperor Jiajing was also a little stunned, as if he had wronged Qin Dewei again?
But after thinking about it carefully, Emperor Jiajing felt that there was nothing wrong with this idea, and it was very suitable for his own taste, so he decreed:
"Just implement the strategy offered by Qin Dewei! The Military Aircraft Department collects the bottom book and is responsible for the general review, and the cabinet is responsible for disposing of the results!"

Then he pointed to the pile of resignation memorials and said: "After all the officials hand in the test papers, Qin Dewei will criticize and answer the memorials!"

After finishing speaking, the exhausted Emperor Jiajing didn't stay any longer, but got up and left.

The crowd was about to disperse, when Qin Zhongtang suddenly said loudly: "Masters, wait a minute! I will talk about the method of examination for another quarter of an hour!"

Everyone sighed together, but they didn't dare not to listen, the resignation memorial is still at Qin Dewei's place!
Qin Dewei cleared his throat again and said: "The items listed in the handed-in examination result booklet must first include the current affairs of the yamen or department, as well as the progress and future deadlines of the affairs!

The second is to have the business planned to start this year. After all, the plan for the year lies in spring, and it is not too late to plan this year's business!There must also be a schedule and a deadline! "

In the end, Qin Dewei concluded: "I hope that you will take the test seriously and don't take it lightly!

If there is any concealment or failure to complete the deadline due to dereliction of duty, and it is found out by the Military Aircraft Department, it will be handed over to the cabinet for severe punishment according to His Majesty's will! "

When the silent Yan Ge heard this, he suddenly woke up!
The inspection results are determined by your military aircraft, but the specific punishment is determined by the cabinet!
Who should be dealt with, your military aircraft department has the final say, but the bad guys let the cabinet do it!
That is to say, on the issue of the test method, your Military Aircraft Department is responsible for decision-making, and the cabinet is responsible for implementation?
Doesn't the cabinet member become a tool of your military aircraft department?
Qin Dewei's idea of ​​seizing power does not seem difficult, but why is it always a step behind to think of it!
