The ministers talked a lot.
"Prime Minister Yang actually wants to establish a Privy Council? This is simply too shocking."
"Yes, during the founding years of Dahua, a Privy Council was established. Since then, there has never been a Privy Council."
"This is clearly aimed at Zhang Yongwu. Prime Minister Yang's move is really cruel."
…
The expression of the Eight Wise Kings was uncertain.
He is thinking.
If Yang Ke becomes Privy Councilor, will he have too much power?
If Yang Ke has too much power, how can he maintain a balance with Zhang Yongwu?
Although I guessed that Yang Ke wanted to gain benefits.
But I didn't expect that his appetite would be so big.
This is too arrogant.
The Eight Wise Kings were very dissatisfied.
However, his city is very deep.
It won't show at all.
He remained calm.
Wait and see what happens.
The old emperor frowned: "Establishing a Privy Council? Prime Minister Yang, why do you have such an idea?"
Yang Ke said: "The establishment of the Privy Council is also based on the ancestral system."
"During the founding years of Dahua, there were wars in all directions, all the people were soldiers, and the situation was turbulent. Dahua established a Privy Council to integrate civil and military affairs, combine military and political affairs, and support each other."
"As a result, the military's combat effectiveness, coordination capabilities, and transportation and supply capabilities have been enhanced unprecedentedly."
"Furthermore, a single military commander is too arbitrary, and a single civil servant is too soft. However, after the establishment of the Privy Council, civil servants and military generals are combined together to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses."
When the old emperor heard this, he nodded frequently: "What Prime Minister Yang said is absolutely true, and it just speaks to my heart."
Yang Ke was overjoyed and said: "How similar is the predicament Dahua is facing now to that at the beginning of the founding of the country? There are Turks in the north attacking and killing indiscriminately, Annan in the south harassing the border, Japan in the east looking at it with eager eyes, and the countries in the Western Region are also ready to make a move."
"At this critical moment, it can be said that a single move can affect the whole body. If our country, Dahua, cannot revitalize its military strength, the barbarian countries in the southeast, northwest and northwest will surely rise up and attack them in groups. In this way, how can our country of Dahua, the country of etiquette, be defeated? Don’t you want to be cannibalized by tigers and wolves?”
"If we respond to the situation and immediately establish a Privy Council, and the power of the military belongs to the Privy Council, we can coordinate the civil servants and generals through the Privy Council to coordinate with the outside world, and the combat effectiveness of the army will be doubled out of thin air."
"Your Majesty, these are the words of an old man in planning for the country. Please accept them."
Yan Qi stood up and said calmly: "I second the proposal."
The old emperor was overjoyed: "It's very
Good, very good. What Prime Minister Yang said is indeed what he said to seek the country. He is worthy of being a prime minister. He cares about his family and country, withstands pressure and wants to reform. I appreciate it very much! "
Yang Ke was quite excited: "I am a powerful person, but I am a mess. How can I be afraid of power and not think about reform strategies?"
After Zhang Yongwu heard this, he felt even more resentful towards Yang Ke.
What does 'how can we be afraid of power' mean?
You're clearly teasing me.
Deliberately hacking me!
Damn it, you motherfucker.
The old emperor first asked the Eight Wise Kings: "Brother, what do you think of Prime Minister Yang's words?"
How could the Eight Wise Kings be willing to break the current political system?
For now, he holds military affairs in his left hand and political affairs in his right hand.
He has to grasp it with both hands, and both hands have to be hard.
To him, this is the best solution.
Why did he want to change the political system?
If there is an additional Privy Council, it would be better if I can control it myself.
What if... you can't control it?
Isn’t this a bad dish?
Deep down in his heart, the Eight Wise Kings certainly wanted to tear down the Privy Council.
However, he could not refuse sternly.
Otherwise, how could Yang Ke let it go?
The Eight Wise Kings said: "What Prime Minister Yang said is very reasonable. The current situation is indeed complicated and difficult to understand, and it looks like chaos."
"The establishment of an additional Privy Council, the unification of cultural relics, mutual reinforcement, and mutual assistance will indeed be of great benefit to the military. I am very interested. But..."
At this point, the Eight Wise King changed his subject: "The establishment of the Privy Council is a good thing, but we cannot rush for success. After all, there was no clear planning and preparation for the personnel structure, structure combination, guidelines, power placement, etc. of the Privy Council. Blindly adding a Privy Council, transferring power, and directing have caused greater chaos.”
"Therefore, my brother believes that the establishment of the Privy Council is a good thing, but we should not rush for success and add it immediately. Instead, we must first arrange the structure, personnel, guidance, etc., before we can formally establish the Privy Council and transfer power."
What the Eight Wise Kings said seemed quite reasonable at first glance.
Reasonable and well-founded.
These words are indeed difficult to refute.
Yang Ke was also anxious.
He didn't expect that the Eight Wise Kings would object.
Others don't understand the Eight Wise Kings, but he understands them all too well.
The Eight Wise Kings clearly supported it, but in fact they opposed it.
This is clearly a push-and-pull tactic.
Yang Ke could not directly oppose the Eight Wise Kings.
After all, he is the dog of the Eight Wise Kings.
He's a dog
Yes, do you dare to show your teeth to the master?
Yang Ke looked at Yan Qi.
Yan Qicai didn't care so much, stared at the Eight Wise Kings, and started firing cannons.
"The Eight Wise Kings worry too much! How can it be so laborious to build the Privy Council? As for the structure, guidance, personnel placement, etc., there are precedents to follow."
"The Great China ancestral system has a Privy Council. All we need to do is formulate policies and arrange tasks according to the ancestral system. Even if there are changes that need to be made, they are similar and harmless."
The Eight Wise Kings frowned.
Yan Qi's words were very harsh and forceful, and it was hard for him to answer them at the moment.
While the Eighth Sage King was hesitating, Yan Qi fired a second cannonball.
"In addition, the Eight Wise Kings should understand that in extraordinary times, extraordinary arrangements should be made. Now Dahua is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the situation is precarious. To put it mildly, once the response is unfavorable, it is very likely to lead to the disaster of the country."
"So, at this critical juncture, the Eight Wise Kings are still taking their time, inspecting the structure of the Privy Council, and planning the placement of personnel. If they pay too much attention to these minutiae, wouldn't they be putting the cart before the horse?"
The Eight Sages were stunned by Yan Qi.
It took a long time, but I still couldn't calm down.
As expected, Yan Qi's tongue is as sharp as a knife.
Yang Ke was very happy after hearing this: "I second my proposal, I second my proposal!"
Yang Ke winked at his men.
A group of subordinates hurriedly came out.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
…
The momentum is huge.
This time, it was even harder for the Eight Wise Kings to object.
Not to mention how depressed he was.
The Eight Wise Kings rolled their eyes.
Huh!
Yes.
To reform the military, Zhang Yongwu's consent must be obtained.
After all, he is the general of the country.
Dahua relies on Zhang Yongwu to fight the war.
As long as Zhang Yongwu disagrees, I will have a way to stop him.
At least, there's no problem with pushing and pulling.
The Eight Sages asked Zhang Yongwu: "I wonder what General Zhang thinks about the establishment of the Privy Council. You are the general who governs the country, and your opinion is very important."
"this……"
Zhang Yongwu was furious.
What can I say?
Of course I object.
But how could I object?
How can I have the courage to object?
I don’t know Liang Jingru!
