"The situation in which the four major auxiliary ministers assist the government must change."
Qu Shishu stared at Qian Qianyi's face.
"It's not that easy." Qian Qianyi sighed.
As the chief assistant of the cabinet, he doesn't want to change the situation of the assistant minister assisting the government. He has already done enough of this kind of chief assistant in name only.
Among all the first assistants in the past, he felt that he was the most aggrieved as the first assistant.
Others have at most one mother-in-law on their head, while he has four people who are in charge of the family.
"Teacher, many people in the court support you. As long as you are willing to stand up and raise your arms, you can definitely fight against the four ministers." Qu Shishu said.
Qian Qianyi remained silent.
"Teacher, we can't wait any longer." Qu Shishu persuaded, "Those auxiliary ministers in the court only know how to fight for power and gain. They are not at all for the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, they would not fight against the Qing thieves and the tiger thieves. We missed such a good opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to regain the Northland."
There was a trace of struggle in Qian Qianyi's eyes, but in the end he did not speak.
Seeing this, Qu Shichun said again: "Teacher, time waits for no one. If you don't make a decision, you will only make the loyal people in the court and the students all over the world disappointed in the court and you, teacher."
"What's so disappointing about this cabinet? The four auxiliary ministers were not arranged by this cabinet." Qian Qianyi said with an unhappy look on his face.
He didn't want to openly offend the four auxiliary officials, but he also didn't want to ruin his reputation among officials.
"But teacher, you are the chief minister of the dynasty!" Qu Shishu reminded.
Hearing this, Qian Qianyi's tone became fierce and said: "It is true that I am the chief assistant of the cabinet, but this chief assistant is also recommended by the four auxiliary ministers, and the current cabinet is composed of several auxiliary ministers. The situation in front of us has become an empty shell, all the affairs of the court and the central government are in the hands of the assistant minister, and I, the chief assistant of this pavilion, can only be regarded as the elder of the seal pavilion."
"That's why, teacher, you should seize the opportunity." Qu Shiqi looked at Qian Qianyi with bright eyes.
Qian Qianyi looked thoughtful.
"Teacher, you really can't hesitate any longer, otherwise others will attribute you to the same party as those auxiliary ministers. By then, you will no longer be the leader of the clergy, and you will no longer have the support of the clergy."
As soon as these words came out, Qian Qianyi's expression suddenly changed.
The basis for him to become the Chief Assistant is because of his status in the officialdom. If he loses this relationship, I am afraid that he will be of no use in front of the several auxiliary ministers. Whether he can keep his position as the Chief Assistant will naturally depend on him. said.
"Teacher, the court needs you to stand up. We can no longer let those treacherous people occupy the court!" Qu Shishu said with a serious expression.
Qian Qianyi started walking back and forth in the room.
He couldn't bear the position of chief assistant, even if it was just a puppet chief assistant.
"Teacher!" Qu Shiqi shouted softly.
Qian Qianyi turned around to look at him and asked, "Who are all willing to stand up in court?"
When Qu Shishu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Except for a few courtiers who are determined to follow the treacherous people, no one else in the court wants to see the four auxiliary ministers controlling the government again."
"What do you want to do?" Qian Qianyi said, "Without a suitable reason, it is impossible to overturn the situation in which the four auxiliary ministers are managing the government, and the several auxiliary ministers will not allow others to come up and take away their power."
Power is a poison.
Comparing his feelings, he could imagine that if he were in the position of auxiliary minister, he would not give up his power, let alone add another auxiliary minister to the court easily.
Qu Shishu chuckled lightly and said: "Naturally, several auxiliary ministers will not give up their power, but their positions as auxiliary ministers may not have been obtained from the Supreme Emperor's permission. They could become auxiliary ministers only because of the Because a few princes brought the Holy One, and there is no other proof besides that, there is neither a will nor proof, so the statement of the auxiliary minister should naturally not be recognized."
"The original situation was not special. In addition, the Holy Emperor was too young, so he appointed several auxiliary ministers to preside over the government. They were not personally appointed by the Supreme Emperor, so there was nothing to prove." Qian Qianyi frowned. explain.
He, the first assistant, was only appointed after the four auxiliary ministers came to power, so he knew all about it. Once the status of the four auxiliary ministers was not recognized, he, the first assistant, would face the same problem.
Qu Shishu understood Qian Qianyi's concerns and said comfortingly: "Teacher, your chief minister has the support of hundreds of officials in the court. Naturally, this problem does not exist, so teacher, there is no need to worry."
"Although this cabinet does not like the so-called four auxiliary ministers, without any concrete evidence, it is difficult to drive them away from the position of auxiliary ministers. Even if all the ministers in the court stand up, it may not be useful." Qian Qian Yi wrinkled his nose and shook his head.
He didn't think that just by having some courtiers stand up, several auxiliary ministers could voluntarily give up their power.
After hearing this, Qu Shishu smiled and said: "Others can't oust several auxiliary ministers, but there is one person who can definitely do it. As long as he is willing to speak, these auxiliary ministers will no longer have the shame to stay in the position of auxiliary ministers." .”
"Is there such a person? Who is he?" Qian Qianyi asked curiously.
"The Great Emperor."
Qu Shishu uttered three words in his mouth.
hiss!
Qian Qianyi took a breath.
He almost forgot that the Supreme Emperor did have this ability.
Thinking of this, he said: "I heard that the Supreme Emperor was imprisoned in the capital by tiger thieves. It is almost impossible to get the Supreme Emperor to Yingtian Mansion under the eyes of the tiger thieves."
"If you want to remove several auxiliary ministers, you don't have to ask the Supreme Emperor to come in person. Even if the Supreme Emperor doesn't come, you can still do it." Qu Shishu smiled.
Qian Qianyi frowned when he heard this.
Soon, he seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise: "Did you get the Emperor's decree?"
Getting the Emperor's will was definitely not something that one person could do. He understood that there must be a group of people standing behind Qu Shichu planning these things.
"Not yet." Qu Shishu shook his head slightly and said immediately, "However, it should be soon. As long as the emperor's decree is sent back, he can overthrow the situation of the four auxiliary ministers presiding over the government in one fell swoop and return the power to the cabinet."
Qian Qianyi stared at Qu Shishu's face and asked, "So you have sent people to the capital to see the Emperor?"
Qu Shichen nodded.
"Qida, you are a student of this pavilion, and it was this pavilion that recommended you to become Ying Tianfu Cheng. You and I should have stood together, but you have done all these things behind your teacher's back. As your teacher, I He was also the last one to know, which makes me really don’t know what to say." Qian Qianyi covered his chest with one hand and said with a look of pain.
"It's the student who made the mistake. I dare not hide it from the teacher." Qu Shishu bowed and acknowledged his mistake.
Seeing this, Qian Qianyi didn't want to push too hard. Knowing that he had to rely on the other party and the power behind him, he waved his hand and said, "Well, it's not entirely your fault this time. It won't happen if the matter is not kept secret. You can keep it secret if you want." It’s not wrong, but don’t do it next time. Just don’t worry about your teacher. How can a teacher betray his own students?”
"What the teacher taught is that it is the student's fault." Qu Shichen admitted his mistake again.
