Domineering Daming

He has done research on the powers and duties of the national parliament. In his opinion, this kind of organization is a combination of big council and speech officials, in order to prevent the cabinet from becoming big and at the same time ensure the detached status of the imperial power.

No matter how the cabinet fights with the national assembly, the referee is the emperor. This should be a method deliberately created by the party struggles of the past dynasties to scare the ruler.

Similarly, for the emperor, the struggle between the national parliament and the cabinet has no effect on him, and no one side should be favored.

Therefore, although Sun Chuanting has said enough concretely, he is still worried.

Zhu Xu didn't keep him waiting for long, and fumbled for the water with the tea lid in his hand. After a while, he said, "I asked the supervisor of ceremonies to deliver an order to tell these councilors that they have no right to write a letter of impeachment..."

Sun Chuanting was overjoyed, but Zhu Xu's words immediately changed his expression; "But the national parliament has the power of supervision, and it has the right to ask the cabinet or six specific officials to explain, explain, and record matters that have doubts. , Mingfa Dibao. In addition, three years later, the national parliament will be further expanded, and the number of people should be around [-]. In the big meeting every four years, a vote of confidence must be given to the cabinet and the heads of the six ministries. If there is no more than half, immediately Dismissed, not allowed to come back..."

Sun Chuanting listened, his face gradually became solemn, and when Zhu Xu finished speaking, he thought carefully and deliberated, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, who is in charge of the council?"

The corner of Zhu Xu's mouth twitched slightly, but Sun Chuanting was clever and immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

Zhu Xu deliberately paused for a moment, and said: "For the selection of members, the cabinet must carefully formulate detailed regulations. Every three years, one-third of them will be re-elected, and they can be re-elected once. As for the speaker, it will be nominated by the chief minister, and I will approve it. After the fifth-ranked elders, once appointed, they cannot be replaced for three years."

Sun Chuanting listened to Zhu Xu's words and pondered carefully.

The current selection of councilors is made up of three people elected by the provinces, which are basically controlled by the governor's yamen. The process is simple and rough, and there are no rules.Reelection, this is irrelevant.The first four assistant ministers were left and right assistants, King Jing of the third governor's office, and Wang Qiaonian of Dali Temple fourth. These four positions were all custom-made, and the fifth was random.

After Sun Chuanting thought about it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I understand."

Zhu Xu knew that he had to teach the rules of the game slowly, so he was not in a hurry. He took a sip of tea and said, "The empress has just given birth to a prince. She is weak and cannot return to the palace in time. I will not return for the time being. I will hide for a few days. Cool, government affairs, your cabinet can handle it."

"I obey the order." Sun Chuanting stood up and raised his hand.

Zhu Xu sent Sun Chuanting out of the yard, watched him go down the mountain, stood where he was, with the wind blowing, and did not move in a hurry.

At this time, Xiao Yongning came over, holding a wicker in his hand, pouted out of boredom, and said, "Uncle Emperor, can't the hunting time be longer?"

Zhu Xu glanced at her and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

The big hunt lasted ten days, and it was over. Without accident, Li Dingguo won the first place, so he asked immediately, hoping to follow Cao Wenzhao's Royal First Army to go out and quell the chaos everywhere.

Sun Chengzong has already agreed, and Li Dingguo has set off yesterday.

Zhu Xu couldn't tell if the little girl was just beginning to fall in love, or if she just thought Li Dingguo was a good playmate, so she didn't intervene too much.

Seeing that Zhu Xu ignored her, the little girl turned around sullenly.

After a while, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is no abnormality found in the letter from Jinyiwei. Luo Yangxing's whereabouts are a mystery. Jiang Feijun said that he is still investigating. Zhu Zonghan is in Gansu Town and is in charge of the strategy for the tribes in western Moxi." plan."

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, his eyes flickered, and said: "Well, find a time and let Jiang Feijun come to see me alone."

Cao Huachun said expressionlessly, "Observe the order."

Zhu Xu's will soon reached the national parliament, and these members were shocked at first. They lost the right to write a letter of impeachment. Wouldn't they want to become dumb?But when they heard that they could ask the cabinet, the adults from the six departments came up and questioned them personally, they were ecstatic.

There is no truth in impeachment coming face to face. If they silence Mr. Bi Ge or someone face to face, it will be spread all over the world immediately, and the reputation of integrity will be easily captured!

A group of people was boiling, and they were already discussing, and they were going to ask Mr. Bi Ge to go to the second floor and question him face to face.

They were gearing up and quietly drafting their words, all preparing to severely humiliate this Bi Shoufu who made them extremely angry and aggrieved!

Sun Chuanting returned to the cabinet and brought back Zhu Xu's words, and all the assistant ministers were also discussing.

"The emperor's methods are brilliant." Wang Qiaonian, who seldom spoke, was the first to speak, admiring.

Prince Jing nodded and said: "Instead of letting those people write impeachment letters, it is indeed better to tell the matter face to face, and the matter will be over after talking about it."

Indeed, even though the parliament has supervisory powers, it cannot appoint and remove officials. It is nothing more than being spat at, which is better than being constantly sneered at, frightened and fidgeting.

Bi Ziyan looked somewhat better, thinking in his heart that Zhu Xu was always reluctant to let him go, this was protecting him in disguise.

There was comfort in his eyes, he looked at the crowd, and said: "There should be more detailed regulations for the recommendation of the councilors, Bai Gu, you and Mr. Fu will discuss a method carefully with the Ministry of Rites and the Second Ministry of Officials, and we will need it in a few days. "

Sun Chuanting and Fu Changzong said: "Yes."

With confidence, Bi Ziyan glanced at everyone present, and said in a rather domineering tone: "No matter when the parliament questiones me, it will be delayed for three days. Also, the 'New Deal' cannot be stopped, and we must be more firm. Regarding the matter of Yangzhou Mansion, I urge the Anti-Corruption Bureau to solve the case quickly, and then go to Xinnan Zhili, telling them to bite the bullet and not let go, if anyone stabs me at this time, don't blame me for killing people!"

Everyone was stunned. Obviously, this incident angered Old Bi Ge, and this good old man became angry and wanted to kill someone.

The wind and clouds are surging here in the capital, and the waves are magnificent, and Nanzhili is not much better.

Xu Jie, who participated in politics from the left, had only been in Nanzhili for two years. He was young but already had gray hair. He bent over the desk and dealt with government affairs constantly.

At this time, a Si Zhilang came in, lowered a piece of paper, and said: "My lord, the flying pigeon in the palace is passing the letter, old Bi Ge."

Xu Jie quickly raised his head, took it over, and opened it to look at it, with a slightly startled expression. There were only four words on it: Eliminate evil and do everything.

It seems a very plain idiom, but Xu Jie can hear the murderous intent and Bi Ziyan's anger behind it.

"What can the capital send?" Xu Jie asked very solemnly.

Si Zhilang smiled wryly, and said: "My lord, Zhou Tong was appointed by the cabinet, and now he is doing such absurd things, I'm afraid Mr. Bi Ge will have a hard time."

Xu Jie frowned like a river, nodded knowingly, and said with a gloomy face, "Is there any progress in the case?"

Si Zhilang shook his head, and said: "Master Feng searched the entire Yangzhou City, but found no clues. Most of the imperial envoys are in the Fubing Yamen, and they haven't even stepped out yet."

Xu Jie frowned in pain, but he didn't care, and said, "Where is the governor now?"

Si Zhilang said: "The impact of this case is too bad. The cabinet has already asked him to come to Beijing to explain. The lower officials heard that Fang's mansion has packed up and is ready to return home."

Obviously, such a terrible thing happened in Nanzhili, the governor Fang Kongxuan was the No. 1 blamer, and he didn't even want to run away.

Xu Jie sighed, the "New Deal" is huge and complicated, and both inside and outside the imperial court can hardly be promoted, and there is no extra energy to do other things. Once this incident happens, I am afraid that it will affect all aspects, and the consequences may be worse than anyone expected. Be serious.

Xu Jie was silent for a while, and said: "Prepare the carriage, I'm going to Yangzhou Mansion."

Si Zhilang was startled, and said: "Sir, this is not appropriate, Mr. Feng is already there."

Xu Jie stood up, with an unspeakable calmness and aura on his face, and said: "Not only I am going, Master Fang will also go, this matter is not so easy!"

Si Zhilang looked at the Zuo Canzheng, who had always been calm and failed to raise his energy, and looked a little dazed. It was the first time he saw Xu Jie with such an expression.

He suddenly felt that the entire governor's yamen was filled with a murderous aura, which was frighteningly cold, and he couldn't help shivering.

Chapter 1188

Sure enough, as Xu Jie said, Fang Kongxuan, who had been patient for a while, finally left Yingtian Mansion in person and rushed to Yangzhou.

He was under too much pressure on this matter, even Bi Ziyan was forced to resign, let alone the chief officer at the place where the incident happened.

Recently, there have been calls for Fang Kongzhang to be imprisoned and convicted. Both reformers and conservatives are very dissatisfied with this matter, and they all want to take Fang Kongzhang as a sacrifice flag.

As soon as Fang Kongxuan arrived at Yangzhou Mansion, he didn't care about seeing Feng Jiangfeng, and went straight to Gong Dingzi.
