Yang Rong burst into tears:
"The lower officials are determined to serve the country, the country, the people of the world, and at the same time contribute to the emperor. However, some people feel that their power is threatened, and they obstruct them overtly and covertly. They will not let go. It's really... sigh!"
At this point, Yang Rong stopped talking.
He has said enough, now it’s time to look at Li Qing.
Li Qing said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult. If they don't want to do it, but you are willing to do it, then you can do it for them."
Yang Rong was overjoyed at first, and then sighed: "Li Shangshu, we also thought about it, but we don't have the strength. In the end, power and position in the court still depend on it."
"Yes!" Yang Shiqi answered, "Although the cabinet ministers have the power to act, they are only the emperor's secretaries. This power can be said to be great or small. Usually, if there are no disagreements, the cabinet will have great power. But once there is a disagreement, the cabinet will In front of Liubu, he is nothing."
He is telling the truth. Normally everyone agrees, which means the cabinet is extremely powerful. But if there are different opinions, then the cabinet is not enough.
The cabinet may seem to have a lot of power, but in fact it is just that.
The cabinet ministers serve the emperor, but the six ministries can challenge the emperor. Comparing the two, the cabinet is really a scumbag.
It's just that a few people don't know that the reason why the cabinet has become a scumbag is because the Li Shangshu in front of them mentioned it too much.
If they knew this, they would probably want to eat Li Qing.
Of course, Li Qing believed that even if he didn't say it, Zhu Di would restrict the cabinet to a certain extent.
Jin Youzi was impatient and went straight to the point: "We hope Li Shangshu can help us."
Hearing this, the others stopped talking in circles and looked at Li Qing eagerly.
Li Qing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said bluntly: "I won't help you with this."
Jin Youzi: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ “What do you mean?”
The table was lifted halfway and was held down by Yang Shiqi.
However, Yang Shiqi was also very angry. He was not rich to begin with. This time, in order to win over Li Qing, he contributed all his remaining money, but in the end he only got this sentence.
Even though they were ready to give up, when it came to this moment, they were still very angry.
It's just... too much bullying!
"Li Shangshu," Yang Shiqi suppressed his anger, "You are the Tuogu minister left by the late emperor to the emperor. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the officials of the six ministries can be bullied by the emperor. They can be used in secret and in secret. If you stand by and watch, do you deserve the trust of the late emperor?"
"I will solve the emperor's problems in my own way." Li Qing said calmly, "Don't forget, I am also the Minister of the Six Ministries. In this dispute between ministries and cabinets, it will be a great honor for me not to add insult to injury."
"you……"
At this time, Yang Shiqi couldn't help it anymore: You're not going to do anything, right? Okay, pay back the money!
As soon as he had the idea of returning the 'local specialties', he saw Li Qing pulling the entire cloth bag into his arms, and he suddenly became even more angry.
Not only him, but several other people were also fuming with anger: If you don’t do things, don’t take money!
Seeing that within three seconds, several people were about to overturn the table, Li Qing said again: "I won't help you on the surface, but I can show you a clear path."
Yang Rong was the most nurturing, "Please give me some advice from Li Shangshu."
"I still say the same thing. In fact, this matter is not difficult, but you didn't find the right place." Li Qing smiled and said: "What is the most important thing in the court?"
"Of course it's the right to speak."
"Yes," Li Qing said, "There is such a group of people. They have no other abilities, but they have more say than anyone else."
Yang Shiqi's eyes lit up: "Yanguan?!"
"That's right." Li Qing muttered, "Officials cherish their own feathers the most, but these officials are all good at spewing dirty water. As long as you can win over the officials, even if you are a minister, you will not be able to face those trolls. Don’t shy away.”
"This is a good idea." Yang Shiqi calmed down, took a closer look, and felt that it was very feasible. Then he frowned and said, "But... there are so many Yanguan, where do we have so many... local specialties?"
Li Qing took a sip of tea and said, "Everyone in the world wants something, some seek fame, some seek profit, which one do you think Yan Guan is more passionate about?"
"Reputation!" Yang Shiqi said without hesitation, "But... why is it tied to reputation when pouring dirty water on the six ministers?"
Li Qing was really convinced and said angrily: "Didn't you just say that there are villains who are secretly causing trouble and stumbling on the national policy of people's migration in order to engage in maritime trade?
This basin of dirty water is poured out directly, and whoever dares to step forward will be showered with it!
As for how to tie me up, that's even simpler. Just use the trick you just used to morally kidnap me, right? "
Li Qing said: "Having good reputation as an official is far better than good fortune. As long as you operate it properly, this trick will definitely have miraculous results."
Then, an occupational disease broke out, and he said: "You followed the emperor when he was the crown prince. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, he also wants to promote you, his confidants.
But you also have to live up to your expectations. You can't let the emperor take the lead in everything, right?
How could you know that this is not the emperor's test for you?
You don’t want to disappoint the emperor, right?
…”
Barabara...
When the words came up, several people felt excited and their faces flushed.
Jin Youzi was impatient and cupped his hands and said, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Li Shangshu's words of wisdom made me enlightened. Everyone, what are we waiting for?"
Do it! "
Yang Rong also stood up and bowed his hands to Li Qing, then bowed to his colleagues:
"Everyone, we can no longer let those who are in high positions but do nothing. Let's go."
Huang Huai slapped the table: "Humph! We can do things they can't do. If they don't change, then we will change them."
Only Yang Shiqi secretly smiled bitterly. He found that Li Qing had done nothing, only talked words, and did not provide any substantive help. He still took money and did nothing.
This guy is really well established!
Moreover, the suggestions may sound good at first, but can they really develop as expected?
Of course not, even if it develops according to what I said, you are still no match for the Sixth Department... Li Qingxin said: However, with your involution, those people will no longer dare to be careless in order to maintain their current status.
From the beginning, Li Qing had no intention of supporting the cabinet. His purpose was very clear, which was to use the cabinet to make the six ministries obedient.
Let those people understand: If you don’t do it, others will!
~
After the group left, Li Qing finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: I made the cabinet spend two hundred taels on me after just one sentence. I'm such a clever little guy.
Now that the sea has opened, as time goes by, the national policy of people migrating will become increasingly difficult to implement.
The only way to speed up the progress is to cause a scene to focus their attention on their official positions.
Li Qing leaned on his chair and whispered to himself: "Come on, get involved. The more you get involved, the faster the progress of the national policy will be."
…
The next day.
Li Qing still did not go to court, but he knew everything that happened in the court.
Because there is a big mouth that talks endlessly, and it is impossible to even think about it.
"Uncle Qing, you don't know that there was a fight at that time." Zhu Zhanji was beaming, "Don't look at the thin skin and tender flesh of those people, who looked like they were helpless, but when the fight started Come on, hey! He's no worse than a general, and more enjoyable to watch..."
"Is there really a fight?" Li Qing was a little surprised. He knew that if he provoked it, it would be fierce, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce.
"Not good."
"Let's go to the pavilion to talk." Li Qing said in a loud voice: "Come here, prepare iced watermelon and a plate of melon seeds."
…
Zhu Zhanji enthusiastically recounted the situation at that time: "In the early morning, my father talked about the part-time job in the cabinet. As soon as the words were finished, the Minister of Rites stood up and objected.
Then, Jin Youzi fought back, then the Minister of Works supported the Minister of Rites, and then Yang Rong stood up for Jin Youzi..."
"Skip the foreplay." Li Qing took a bite of the watermelon, "Let's talk about the climax directly."
Zhu Zhanji ate a grape and continued: "It was a quarrel at first, and then the scolding started. Jin Youzi scolded him in an unpleasant way, and the Minister of Rites couldn't bear it, so he slapped him;
Something happened during this fight!
Huang Huai immediately jumped out to help. Even though he was almost sixty, he was no worse than a young man in a fight. He slapped the official hat of the Minister of Rites away.
The cabinet was fighting two against one, and the Minister of Rites was instantly overthrown. Then, the Minister of Personnel, Jian Yi, stepped forward to fight with Xini, but ended up getting himself involved as well. He failed to persuade him to stop talking, and was beaten by two powerful men;
The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were beaten, and the battle sales mode was completely launched..."
As Li Qing ate the melon, he shouted: "Wow, wow, wow!"
Two quarters of an hour later, the melons in the court were finished, and so were the melons in the ice bucket. "Who took advantage in the end?"
"Does this need to be said?" Zhu Zhanji asked, "How many people are there in the Sixth Department? How many people are there in the cabinet?"
When he said this, he was amazed: "Don't look at Jian Yi, who is always kind to everyone, but he is also a ruthless person. He beat Huang Huai who was giving him a hard time, and even pulled off most of his beard;
He is worthy of being an official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his combat power is far ahead of others. "
Li Qing suddenly discovered a blind spot: "They fought so fiercely, but your father didn't stop them?"
"No, he was shocked." Zhu Zhanji shook his head, "But it's not his fault, I was shocked too."
Little Fatty was probably not shocked, but did it on purpose... Li Qing asked: "How did it end in the end?"
"Above the court, in front of the emperor, they are so impudent, how can we be lenient?" Zhu Zhanji hummed: "Father was so angry that he hit each of them twenty times."
Then, he added: "Since it was the people from the Sixth Department who took action first, my father reprimanded them more severely and fined them half a month's salary. By the way, there is another matter."
Having finished eating the watermelon, Li Qing grabbed a handful of melon seeds and cracked them: "You tell me."
"This morning at the court, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other ministers and ministers were all impeached." Zhu Zhanji said, "All the censors from Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were dismissed. There were fights in the court and the impeachment of the six departments was also an inducement;
It looks like they are joining forces with the cabinet! "
"Otherwise," Li Qing shook his head: "The duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to supervise officials. They have no real power, but they control the lifeblood of officials;
Choosing to appear at this juncture is probably to improve his deterrence, so as to compete for the right to speak and influence, and indirectly improve the status and power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. "
Zhu Zhanji thought about it and felt that Li Qing's point of view was more realistic. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Uncle Qing, I really admire you."
"No, I still prefer your unruly look before." Li Qing teased, "You need to recover."
"..." Zhu Zhanji also stretched out his hand to grab a handful of melon seeds and cracked them, "I read Taizu's daily life record and Taizu's true record yesterday. Uncle Qing, you are really awesome!"
"Why are you still swearing?" Li Qing rolled his eyes.
"I'm complimenting you." Zhu Zhanji chuckled, "But I'm really curious, why is Taizu so kind to you?"
Li Qing let out a 'ha' sound and said calmly: "My good, he knows."
"Expand and tell me."
"Isn't there a record of Taizu's real life and daily life?" Li Qing said with a smile, "Just go back and read it. There should be records in it."
"It's too long and looks too troublesome." Zhu Zhanji felt itchy, "Just tell me directly. I will believe it no matter how outrageous it is this time."
Li Qinggang ate the melon brought by Zhu Zhanji, and as a return gift, he told him about the prince-in-law, Ouyang Lun. "
This time it’s Zhu Zhanji: Wow, wow, wow!
…
After chatting for a while, the two got down to business again.
Zhu Zhanji was a little worried: "Uncle Qing, if we continue to make trouble, nothing will happen, right?"
"It doesn't matter, the more violent they make, the better it will be for the situation." Li Qing said, "I'm not afraid that they will make a violent fuss, but I'm afraid that they will make the fuss longer, so...
It’s time to add fire! "
