People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chang Yuchun lowered his head, although it was hard for him to accept the fact that even if he got his life back from Lord Yan, the price might be the fact that he would never be able to return to the battlefield.

If this happened, how would he deal with himself in the court?

A military general who can't go to the battlefield, he always finds his value in the court.

The emperor's affection for himself can make him live comfortably all his life.

But would he be satisfied with just having nothing to worry about?
Seeing his spleen and stomach moved, Li Shanchang continued:
"Originally, with your status, the Lord Governor's Mansion is the best...

But you also know that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is now also under the Ministry of Education and controlled by the Ministry of Education.

Therefore, you might as well take over the position of the right minister, and in the worst case, you will be in charge of military affairs. "

Chang Yuchun was puzzled:
"Mr. Li, why do you insist on pushing me to the position of the Ministry of Education?"

Li Shanchang sighed:
"You don't know in front of you, recently, the situation in this court has been changing!

Your Majesty has done a lot of things these days, which makes people quite uneasy...

Sitting in the position of Prime Minister of the Ministry of Education, I feel like I am sitting on pins and needles,

It would also be a good thing if Yuchun you can choose Zhongshu Sheng to help me share some...

Anyway, you also took the vacant post of Pingzhang's political affairs, although your Majesty later went down,

But it's not completely unqualified..."

Chang Yuchun heard the words and said:

"Your Majesty naturally has his reasons for what to do, and I, Chang Yuchun, am a fighter, so I don't understand the twists and turns.

Everything, leave it to His Majesty to decide! "

"Okay, think about it!"

Li Shanchang chatted with Chang Yuchun for a while, then left on his own.

……

"Li Shanchang wants Chang Yuchun to be the prime minister?"

On the second day, pure heart meditation.

Zhang Yi and Liu Ji sat facing each other. In front of Liu Ji was a stack of manuscripts, just about to give Zhang Yi some advice.

The real person Lao Zhang was also there, but he did not participate in the discussion between the two about the tax law.

On the contrary, Liu Ji's gossip about family matters made him interested.

Chang Yuchun was sick, and his illness spread like wildfire in Yingtian Mansion. Whether this general can go to the battlefield in the future is related to the changes of many things.

In the early dynasty, Li Shanchang proposed that the emperor appoint Chang Yuchun as the right minister of Zhongshu Province, which almost defined his future.

It is very likely that this legendary general will not be able to go to the battlefield.

This is Daming's loss, but there is nothing he can do about it.

But how Chang Yuchun arranged it became a troublesome matter.

With his prestige, he can enter the Governor's Mansion and be in charge of the military.

However, under the current system of Ming Dynasty, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is supposed to be a military institution parallel to the Zhongshu Province in name, and it is currently under the control of the Zhongshu Province.

It seems unreasonable that Chang Yuchun's status should only be controlled by Li Shanchang in the governor's office.

Therefore, like Xu Da, it is reasonable and reasonable to have a right-hand position in a false position.

Zhang Normal was about to speak, but Zhang Yi laughed first.

He was a little joking, teasing Liu Ji:

"Lord Liu, Li Xiang is afraid that you will be transferred to Zhongshu Province by the emperor, so let General Chang occupy the latrine first."

Liu Ji: ...

The dignified Zhongshu Sheng was described by this kid as a cesspit, and he didn't know what to say?
But what Zhang Yi said was right, that old boy Li Shanchang probably thought the same way.

He asked back:
"Then do you think it is possible for Chang Yuchun to enter the Ministry of Education?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Yi didn't even think about it, so he gave a negative answer.

Zhang Normal was taken aback, he thought it was reasonable.

If there is no precedent in the Ming Dynasty, then this matter is still debatable, but with Xu Da's example before it, it is not unexpected for Chang Yuchun to enter the Ministry of Education.

"Why? General Xu can do it, why can't General Chang..."

Lao Zhang couldn't help asking, and Zhang Yi replied:

"The system is changing, and it is actually very unreasonable for the Zhongshu Province to control the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion!

We were established in the early Ming Dynasty, and there are battlefields everywhere.Almost none of the military generals in the court was in the court, so there was no one to preside over the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

As the war in the north gradually settles down, this kind of matter that the Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China controls the military and political power in the court is definitely not what His Majesty wants to see!
In the past, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had no one who could control the situation. If General Chang came back, it would be normal for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to usher in a restructuring! "

Zhang Yi is right to say that. He remembers that at most one year later, the Metropolitan Government will usher in restructuring.

However, the first governor was not Chang Yuchun, who should have died long ago, but Li Wenzhong, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew.

"The restructuring of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is also a process in which His Majesty stripped the power of the Zhongshu Province. Now the Zhongshu Province is in charge of the military and government. If things go on like this, there will definitely be big problems.

Next year, when the court completes its first northern expedition, this reform is imperative! "

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Liu Ji's eyes instantly burst into a strange brilliance. What does this child mean, that Ming will be able to complete the Northern Expedition next year?
This is not the first time Zhang Yi has predicted the future, and it turns out that his predictions are almost correct.

Liu Ji lowered his head and said nothing.

Old Zhang was not sensitive enough, but he didn't hear Zhang Yi's unintentional words.

"So even if Your Majesty wants to arrange for Chang Yuchun to enter the court, it will be the Governor's Mansion?"

Zhang Yi nodded and said:

"The separation of civil and military affairs is a major trend. But for the Ministry of Education, which has already mastered these powers, it certainly does not want this situation to change.

Li Shanchang's invitation to Chang Yuchun to enter the Ministry of Education is probably a kind of temptation and hard work...

If His Majesty, like Xu Da, continues to allow Chang Yuchun to enter Zhongshu Province, it means that His Majesty will continue to maintain the situation that Zhongshu Province's military formation is integrated.

But if His Majesty does not allow...

He also has a bottom line in his heart.

It's just that Mr. Li didn't consider another issue, that is, Chang Yuchun's identity meant that he was absolutely impossible to enter the Ministry of Education. "

"What identity?"

Old Zhang asked, and Zhang Yi glanced at Liu Ji, and found that the old man had a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye, so he knew he had already guessed it.

"My elder sister of the Chang family is related to the prince by marriage, and he is the father-in-law of the next emperor of Ming Dynasty!
The chaos of foreign relatives has been feared by the emperor since ancient times.

The emperor can find a military general for the prince to be his in-law, but he will never find a civil servant's child to influence the future court situation!

Military generals are different from civil officials. To some extent, civil officials have more interference in government affairs.

Our Majesty is more afraid of such a thing than anyone else!

Therefore, if Chang Yuchun really entered the Ministry of Education, the marriage between the sister of the Chang family and the crown prince would most likely be prostitution! "

Lao Zhang opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.

He turned to look at Liu Bowen, seeing his calm face, he obviously guessed these things.

Chatting with these two people, Zhang Normal felt the pressure from a genius. Compared with Zhang Yi and Liu Ji, he was more like a monkey.

"Forget it, it's not something that people outside me should worry about about the court...

Mr. Liu, you sit with Zhang Yi, and the old man goes to the front to do his homework! "

In the hands of Zhang Yi, Qingxin Temple has been run almost bankrupt.

After Lao Meng left, Zhang Yi closed for a long time.

As a responsible Taoist priest, Lao Zhang has taken over the management of Qingxin Temple in the past few days. Although the popularity is still not very good, he can finally open the door to welcome customers.

After Zhang left normally, Liu Ji and Zhang Yi confirmed many tax law issues, and then left satisfied.

But when he got into the car and turned back, he was already full of doubts.

"The ability to predict the future..."

……

On the second day, the court meeting.

Li Shanchang once again suggested that Chang Yuchun be admitted to the Ministry of Education.

Hundreds of officials seconded the proposal, and Wu Yangyang knelt down.

There was hesitation on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and he was always unable to make up his mind.

But if you refuse...it seems...

"Your Majesty, I object to this!"

Liu Ji took the initiative to stand up and stand on the opposite side of Baiguan.

Even the officials of the same faction were taken aback by his appearance.

Although Chang Yuchun and Xu Da belonged to the Huaixi faction in terms of their origins, they seldom participated in the battles in the court, and they belonged to neutral people who did not hold positions.

To a certain extent, Chang Yuchun's entry into Zhongshu Province was welcomed by people from the East Zhejiang School.

Just like when Xu Da was in Zhongshu Province, to some extent, he balanced the struggle between Li Shanchang and the Zhedong faction.

It was too much for Liu Jiji to come out and offend someone who had no need to offend.

"Master Liu, what do you mean by this?
Do you feel that Yuchun took your place? "

Li Shanchang and Liu Ji are also old enemies. As soon as Liu Ji's voice fell, the emperor hadn't spoken yet, so he satirized him first.

And what he said was a bit murderous.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the eyes of other ministers in the court became playful.

Since Wang Guangyang was demoted, there are only a few people who can be the right prime minister in the court.

Liu Ji is the most popular candidate. When he first came to oppose him, everyone would think that he had bad intentions and had his own ideas.

Facing the questioning eyes of Manchu civil and military officials, Liu Bowen remained calm and composed.

"Liu Ji, tell me your reason! Why can't Chang Yuchun be admitted to the Ministry of Education?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Liu Ji had helped him out, an imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes. He suppressed his emotions and asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, I first feel that the status of General Chang is inappropriate. Although Zhongshu Province integrates the military and government, it is still an institution that handles government affairs. General Chang is naturally a hero on the battlefield, but he may not be good at handling government affairs!
The so-called technical specialization, asking a person to handle a job that he is not good at is not a good thing in itself.

What's more, Zhongshu Province has a great relationship with the right-hand side, which is no child's play! "

"Your Majesty, the minister does not approve!"

Seeing the emperor bowed his head in thought, Li Shanchang thought that something was wrong, so he took the initiative to speak:
"Liu Ji also said that since the Zhongshu Province is in charge of military affairs, Chang Yuchun joined the Zhongshu Province, so why not be good at it?
If Xu Da did well in the past, General Chang would naturally do well too!
Your Majesty, the Zhongshu Province is busy with affairs, and I also need a right minister who can help me share the burden. After thinking about it, Chang Yuchun is the right one! "

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

All the officials seconded the proposal again, and the voice directly overwhelmed Liu Bowen's objection. It seemed that the matter of Chang Yuchun's entry into the Zhongshu Province was a foregone conclusion.

Seeing that Liu Bowen was still kneeling and unable to get up, Li Shanchang looked proud.

So what if you object?

Some things are futile after all.

"Your Majesty, I still object, Master Li is wrong..."

Liu Ji knelt on the ground and said loudly:

"It's unreasonable to let a general enter the Ministry of Education with a specialization in art, but it's not the fault of General Chang, it's the unreasonable imperial system!
The Zhongshu Province is an institution that handles government affairs, but it controls the Metropolitan Governor's Office and turns the Metropolitan Governor's Office, which is in charge of military affairs, into a vassal of the Zhongshu Province...

There is no distinction between civil and military, which is a huge hidden danger!

I don't want to oppose His Majesty's re-use of General Chang, but I hope His Majesty will reform Zhongshu Province!
Let the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion return to its proper position and separate from the Zhongshu Province!
When General Chang enters the Governor's Mansion of the Metropolitan Government, there is absolutely no doubt about it!
The minister is not against General Chang, but against Zhongshu Province regardless of civil and military.

I request that your Majesty restructure the Zhongshu Province and separate civil and military affairs! "

Civil and military separation!

Restructure Zhongshu Province!
As soon as Liu Ji finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience.

Li Shanchang and the members of the Zhongshu Province looked ashen. How could this old boy want to join the Zhongshu Province? He clearly wanted to seize the power of the Zhongshu Province.

Military affairs are also part of the power of Zhongshu Province. This part of power is a special situation caused by the special external environment of Ming Dynasty from the Dragon and Phoenix period to the present.

Li Shanchang didn't know that this matter was unreasonable, but who would be willing to lose the power he got?
He stayed with Chang Yuchun, more or less because he wanted to use Chang Yuchun to test His Majesty's attitude...

But who would have thought that there would be such a spoiler as Liu Ji.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, any imperial court has been divided into civil and military affairs, but is there any imperial court in which the Zhongshu Province is in charge of military administration?
In the past, the battle on the front line of the imperial court was tense, so it was feasible as an expedient measure.

But now the situation in the north of my Ming Dynasty is gradually becoming clearer, and this matter often cannot continue.

In the past, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had no one in charge, but now that General Chang is back, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion should be separated from the Ministry of Education.
I ask your majesty to reorganize the Zhongshu Province and bring order out of chaos! "

After even trying to set things right, Li Shanchang gasped, this old guy should be damned.

Li Shanchang looked at the emperor, but found that a smile gradually appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

With a chill in his heart, he knew that there was a high probability that his calculation would fail.

Sure enough, Lao Zhu turned his head and asked:
"Mr. Li, what do you think of Liu Ji's proposal?"

The eyes of all the officials in the court fell on Li Shanchang, and Li Shanchang almost cursed.

He wanted to object, but he knew Zhu Yuanzhang too well.

He can take some care to maintain his power, but if he shows any desire for power, he will be blacklisted by His Majesty.

Li Shanchang took a deep breath and forcibly swallowed the glass of bitter wine Liu Ji gave him.

He knelt down and said:
"The Zhongshu Province is in charge of the military and political power, which is the result of His Majesty's guidance according to the situation. It is unprecedented for me to move forward from the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Shanchang first threw the pot back to the emperor, and then continued:
"The system of the imperial court is determined by His Majesty, and the current authority of Zhongshu Province is not won by anyone. If Your Majesty thinks this system is inappropriate, His Majesty will naturally change it!

Liu Ji's remarks are clearly contemptuous of His Majesty, please learn from His Majesty! "

After a few words, Li Shanchang picked up his little thoughts, and bit Liu Ji back.

Liu Ji took a deep look at Li Shanchang, but found that Li Shanchang was also secretly looking at him.

The two old foxes looked at each other, then quickly shifted their eyes.

The battle between the two important ministers below naturally fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and Lao Zhu was very happy!
Liu Ji's proposal just happened to save him from the siege.

Zhu Yuanzhang objected to Chang Yuchun's admission to Zhongshu Province.

But how to refuse this matter, so as not to chill Lao Chang's heart, Zhu Yuanzhang also hesitated.

Especially those scruples that cannot be said, Liu Ji also helped him to kill them.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang look at Liu Ji pleasingly.

"I think about it, let's retreat!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and was about to leave.

All the officials knelt down and sent the emperor off respectfully.

Liu Bowen was about to leave, but was stayed behind by the eunuch.

"Your Majesty wants to see you!" (End of this chapter)
