Domineering Daming

Bi Ziyan shook his head slightly and said, "Why don't you want to marry Fang Kongxuan?"

Sun Chuanting, Bi Ziyan, and even the cabinet ministers knew that the next chief assistant of Ming Dynasty must be Fang Kongxuan, because the cabinet and other people in the five ministries either lacked ability or lacked the courage and bearing of the chief assistant.

This matter is almost a consensus.

Sun Chuanting did not expect that Bi Ziyan also knew about this, so he said indifferently: "If Fang Kongxuan can take over the mantle of me and the old man, it is best to be clean and not involved, so that we can relax easily. Carry on."

Bi Ziyan looked at him slightly, and sighed, "Your majesty is the judge. In this regard, I am not as good as you. I still have selfish intentions, leaving behind Zhang Guowei, Xu Jie, Li Youtang and others."

Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "The water passes without a trace, and the geese pass without a sound. If you are able to do things and plan to succeed, if you force your name to go down in history and make a contribution for thousands of years, wouldn't it be a failure?"

Bi Ziyan was quite surprised and a little shocked by Sun Chuanting's mind, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "The more serious the situation is, it often indicates that we are the closest to success, as long as we grit our teeth and get through it." During this time, nothing is a problem.”

This is not the first person to comfort Sun Chuanting, afraid that he will give up.

Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "I can still deal with these setbacks. The key is that the 'New Deal' cannot be stopped, and we must follow the established plan and not be slow. I am still thinking about countermeasures."

The impact on the ruling and opposition parties is one aspect, and the delay of the "New Deal" is another aspect.

Bi Ziyan said: "Don't blindly recruit. We are for the people. As long as the publicity is reached, the people will move. They will share a considerable part of the pressure of the gentry for us and complement each other..."

Chapter 1518 Yunkai Yueming

Bi Ziyan entered Beijing "suddenly" and stayed in Zhang Guowei's mansion. The news spread quietly throughout the capital the next day.

After all, Bi Ziyan was the former "Chief Assistant" with foundation and prestige far superior to that of Sun Chuanting. In many people's eyes, Sun Chuanting was forced by the Qianqing Palace and lacked sufficient prestige.

The originally noisy capital, after a moment of silence, suddenly became louder than the sky again.

A rumor spread enthusiastically inside and outside the capital: Sun Chuanting is about to step down, and Bi Ziyan Fu will be the chief assistant!

This rumor is really well-founded and highly credible, so when there is a stir in the capital, the waves will follow the wind and blow across the entire Daming like a hurricane.

I don't know how many people are looking forward to this old Bi Ge's comeback, even though they opposed him and hated him the same way back then.

Bi Ziyan didn't know if he had heard such rumors, but the day after his whereabouts were announced, he went to the Royal Political Council.

As the dean of the previous three terms, Bi Ziyan still had a solid foundation in the Royal Political Academy, and Song Yingxing was naturally a good host.

At this moment of turmoil, the Royal Political Academy is one of the most eye-catching places. Not only the previous graduates of the Royal Political Academy, but also the recent graduates, and students from universities all over the world are participating in various forms, such as surging tides and crazy into officialdom.

And Qin Zhengyi has already entered the provincial ranks, which has aroused the fanatical longing of countless political colleges and departments.

Bi Ziyan, Song Yingxing and some high-level officials of the Political Yuan strolled on the path of the Political Yuan, saying some emotional words.

"This political courtyard was built by me in accordance with the emperor's will. I never thought that it would have such a scale after more than ten years..."

Song Yingxing had been in the Political Yuan for many years, and felt the most empathetic. He said with a smile, "Your Majesty is too busy. Now that you are free, why don't you stay in the Political Yuan for a while and teach the students?"

Bi Ziyan did not respond to Song Yingxing's cryptic invitation, and said, "I heard that Burma, Siam, and even the Mughal Empire in the north of Ceylon, and Western Yi countries all send young people to study in the hospital?"

Song Yingxing smiled and said: "There are students from various countries in the Political Yuan, the total number is about [-], we treat them equally and encourage them to learn from them."

Bi Ziyan nodded approvingly, and said: "In the early years, I was chatting with Your Majesty in the palace. I discussed how the prosperity of a country is manifested. Your Majesty mentioned three things. The first one is the economy, which includes a wide range, such as agriculture, commerce, The prosperity and decline of the handicraft industry and so on. The second is military strength, which is the combat effectiveness of the army, needless to say. The third is culture. My Ming Dynasty is China, and Chinese culture has been prosperous and prosperous since ancient times. , prosperous but not declining. 'Cultural Reform' is also the most important part of the 'Jingzheng New Deal', and the Political Yuan is one of the representatives. You must work hard to develop and prosper in the world, and you must not be complacent..."

Song Yingxing and the others were naturally excited when they heard what Bi Ziyan said, and they were humbled again and again.

Bi Ziyan paced around, and many students came and went to watch and discuss.

Bi Ziyan didn't realize it, and talked for a while, and the groundwork was almost ready, so he turned to the topic and said: "Now the imperial court is in urgent need of employing people, and the Political Yuan is one of the important places to export talents. I talked with Sun Shoufu for a long time yesterday, and I came to the conclusion that One conclusion is that primary and secondary schools in various places need to expand their scale, high schools and universities need to relax restrictions and expand their enrollment. Talents from all over the world must be compared in the same framework, and the best ones should be selected for office, so as to live up to the expectations of His Majesty and hundreds of millions of people... ..."

Song Yingxing and the others naturally nodded their heads in response, but they seemed quite reserved and didn't dare to say more.

It was rumored that Sun Chuanting would step down and Bi Ziyan would rise again. So, should Bi Ziyan rise again?He suddenly entered Beijing at this time, is he ready to recover?

Bi Ziyan didn't seem to notice the strangeness of these people, standing in front of the huge library building, said: "I came to Beijing this time to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, and I will return to my hometown in a short time. If you have any problems, please tell me. It’s still in the capital, when my old face is still useful.”

Song Yingxing and the others were shocked when they heard Bi Ziyan's words.

Old Bi Ge doesn't mean to come back?

Bi Ziyan walked around the Royal Government Court, had a meal, and then turned back to Zhang Guowei's mansion.

Bi Ziyan's words spread before he left the Royal Political Council. I don't know how many people were disappointed by this. Many people lined up in Zhang's residence, ready to persuade Bi Ziyan.

Their reason is very simple, now only Bi Ziyan can clean up this mess, if Sun Chuanting continues like this, the world will be in chaos!

Zhang Guowei blocked everyone, but Bi Ziyan saw no one.

In the evening, half an hour before getting off work, Bi Ziyan suddenly appeared in the Ministry of Rites.

Lu Daqi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was very surprised and quickly invited Bi Ziyan in.

Compared with the current court situation, Lu Daqi is a junior, and he has just taken over as Minister of Rites not long ago, so he naturally respects Bi Ziyan very much.

Accompanying Bi Ziyan, Lu Daqi walked in the Ministry of Rites, constantly introducing the innovations and changes in the Ministry of Rites.

After walking for a while, Bi Ziyan looked at the extremely empty and deserted yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and said with a smile: "I didn't deliberately hide anything, you don't want me to see it?"

Lu Daqi quickly raised his hand and said: "How dare you fool my lord, as long as you want to go, I will take you there, and I promise that there is nothing hidden."

Then Bi Ziyan nodded slightly, walked into the corridor on the right, and said, "I heard that you are compiling "Chongzhen Veritable Records"?"

At the beginning of Zhu Xu's accession to the throne, the Imperial Academy chose "Chongzhen" as the reign name. After the formal reform, Zhu Xu changed to the current reign name "Jingzheng", each with profound meanings.

Lu Daqi looked solemn, and said: "Yes. Now that the reform is in full swing, some things need to be recorded, summarized, and future generations have an explanation for the present, so as not to be buried in the long run."

With one hand behind his back, Bi Ziyan looked at the front slowly, and said: "This is the reason, not only to record some things, so that future generations can understand our past experiences, but also to clarify some things, not to be vague, to let Later generations poked our spines. For example, the term of office of the chief minister, cabinet minister, and six ministers is eight years. The resigned chief minister and cabinet minister cannot be reinstated. The term of office is also two terms of eight years, and the term of the governor's office is no more than 15 years, you must write it clearly..."

Lu Daqi was shocked when he heard this, what does the old man mean to say clearly that he will not recover?

The members of the Ministry of Rites looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Many of them also hope that this elder Bi Ge will return to the furnace. After all, this man will act prudently and will not be so "out of line", and their pressure will not be so great.

Bi Ziyan walked a few steps, and said again: "For some etiquette laws, you have to sort out clearly, and you also have to have a final decision on a series of things under the 'new etiquette law'. Who are the ministers, faint ministers, and treacherous ministers? Who are the loyal ministers? , Nengchen, Zhichen? Who is the grass on the top of the wall that builds walls on both sides and sways with the wind? Who stands up when a big event is approaching, faces difficulties, and turns the tide? Who is afraid of difficulties, wavers, and protects himself wisely? Who is muddled and doing nothing , Harm the country and the people? You have to speak clearly and plainly, and don’t use the spring and autumn style of writing..."

Lu Daqi's heart skipped a beat, his expression was awe-inspiring.

At this time, it is too early to comment on the officials during the Chongzhen period and bring them to justice?

If the prosecution of these people starts now, how will the current officialdom be shaken?What would they think? After all, the reign of Chongzhen was less than eight years ago, and most of the officials inside and outside the court came from that time. If something bad happened, how would they deal with themselves?

A memoir is meant to be passed on for generations to come, it is equivalent to a history book, will everyone in the officialdom be in danger and panic?

Lu Daqi woke up in a flash. Bi Ziyan wanted to warn against the current chaos in the officialdom and deter those unpredictable people.

Bi Ziyan stopped and stopped in the Ministry of Rites and waited for half an hour before leaving.
