    There was a quarrel in the court, but Prince Xi, who used to always put out fires, was as quiet as a chicken today.

    Prince Xi was the auxiliary minister, and Emperor Jiakang wanted to establish a cabinet just to seize power from him. Of course Prince Xi was not happy, thinking that his good intentions were misconstrued.  How can you give Emperor Jiakang some trouble again?

    He was willing to stand in the Jinluan Hall today because he felt that he had already given Emperor Jiakang enough face. He wanted him to contribute more, but he didn't even think about it.

    In desperation, Emperor Jiakang had to retreat in a hurry.  The two major ministers Hu and Du were at odds with each other, so we had to postpone the discussion.

    When Hu Xuemin bitten half of the officials in Fujian and Zhejiang, Emperor Jiakang was still a little confused, but now he was counterattacked by the Du University scholar. If the purge was carried out according to what the two said, not to mention Fujian and Zhejiang, the entire imperial court would be destitute.

    Emperor Jiakang finally realized the seriousness of party struggle.

    At this time, if we cancel the cabinet, Emperor Jiakang's prestige will be greatly reduced.

    Regarding this farce, Prince Xi no longer intervened. Instead, he hoped that they would both suffer losses and let Emperor Jiakang know that he was weighing one and the other.  I want to run before I even learn to walk. It¡¯s so impatient.

    The emperor retired, and the late emperor served as a puppet emperor for almost ten years.  Now that Emperor Jiakang has been so anxious to make Qiankun dictatorial one year after he came to power and designed to deprive him of his rights, Prince Xi will certainly not tolerate it.

    It should be noted that Prince Xi not only made great contributions to the Qian and Yuan dynasties, the eldest prince was able to take the throne by conquering Fujian and Zhejiang. In addition to the support of Prince Teng of Jia Lian, Prince Xi also cleared many obstacles for him in Kyoto. He suppressed the second and third princes from forming cliques for personal gain.  Discourage Emperor Qianyuan from promoting the fifth prince's mother to the throne.

    ????????? Otherwise, once Zhou Guiren is successfully promoted to the concubine position, a large number of civil and military officials will naturally become supporters of the fifth prince, mother and son, and the eldest prince may not be able to take the lead.

    The eldest prince has the support of Jia Lian, Prince Teng and Feng Tang, so what can he do?  Is it possible to support a self-reliant rebellion with troops?

    Prince Xi monopolizes three important yamen. Apart from liking power, he may not have any intention of escorting the eldest prince.

    In fact, Prince Xi was already thinking about returning power to the emperor, but unexpectedly Emperor Jiakang conspired to seize power.

    Prince Xi suddenly felt insulted.

    This time, Prince Xi would certainly not subdue the party struggle provoked by Emperor Jiakang.

    Prince Xi wants to see how Emperor Jiakang responds!

    Prince Xi left it alone, thinking that Emperor Jiakang must be in a hurry.

    He forgot that Emperor Jiakang¡¯s idea of ??setting up a cabinet was the idea of ??the Zhang family¡¯s uncle.  Now that something happened, he would naturally ask Uncle Ji Zhang.

    On this day, Emperor Jiakang summoned Uncle Zhang again and asked: "Ai Qing, how do you think I should deal with the current situation? Does Ai Qing think what Du Jiuyuan said about Hu Xuemin's revenge against the hero is true?"

    Uncle Zhang said: "Reporting to your majesty, as the old saying goes, Hu Xuemin's participation in the music is nonsense. It was the emperor's decree that Dai Quan walked in the six departments. Where does this involve the emperor? Du Jiuyuan's music is obviously his.  In order to counter Hu Xuemin's far-fetched move, the reason why these two people fought was just to compete for the position of second assistant! "

    Emperor Jiakang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then sighed: "Is it really my fault that I shouldn't have established a cabinet?"

    Uncle Zhang said: "No, your Majesty is twenty-five this year and is not a child. At first, the emperor appointed auxiliary ministers, but because he mostly served in the military, he did not understand government affairs. Now, after a year of familiarity, your majesty can already  Those who are skilled in handling government affairs should naturally return them to His Majesty. All government affairs memorials should be approved by His Majesty Zhu Zhu. As for Hu and Du, they are just selfish and have nothing to do with Your Majesty. Furthermore, His Majesty wants to establish a cabinet for the sake of maximum control.  Supporting the New Deal, if it weren¡¯t for the pressure from Prince Xi and Prince Zhongjing Gu Nian¡¯s clan nobles, which hindered His Majesty¡¯s implementation of the New Deal in Zhili, His Majesty would not have been in a hurry to establish a cabinet.¡±

    Emperor Jiakang sighed and said, "I remember that when my father was still alive, Prince Xi and his uncle repeatedly mentioned a whipping method. Why do you come to compete with me now?"

    Uncle Zhang said: "It is not difficult to understand that Prince Xi was a supporter of the late emperor at the time. He wanted to help the late emperor establish his authority, help the late emperor fill the treasury, and help the late emperor fight against the Japanese pirates. All this has been decided. He must  Confronting those clans that opposed the late emperor, they must be suppressed in order to help the late emperor establish his power. Things are different now. Prince Xi himself has become a big landowner with thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the naval battle is over. Maybe Prince Xi is not opposed, he just feels that  It's time to slow down and be influenced slowly. This is actually the same idea as the emperor at the time. The emperor had never objected to a whipping method. However, he always felt that the late emperor was too impatient. Now, Prince Xi also feels that you are too impatient, Your Majesty.  "

    Emperor Jiakang looked unusually firm: "I don't want to be like my father. He wants to reform the tax system, but my grandfather doesn't agree. He wants to collect debts, but my grandfather doesn't allow it. He wants to levy taxes."The emperor's grandfather also stopped him from taxing the meritorious fields.  My father has been on the throne for ten years, but he has almost never accomplished anything according to his wishes.  I don¡¯t want to follow my father¡¯s old path again.  No one can force me!  "

    "Uncle Zhang Ji usually won't interrupt in such words.

    Emperor Jiakang vented his anger and felt more at ease, then asked: "Ai Qing hasn't answered my question yet, how can we solve the current chaotic situation?"

    Uncle Zhang's family laughed and said: "The imperial court has never ceased its partisanship in every dynasty. Hu and Du are engaged in a muddy lawsuit and have no good words to say to each other. How can we take these angry words seriously? Two scholars are just fighting for the position of secondary assistant.  , no big deal."

    Emperor Jiakang was astonished: "Are you angry? But what they said is all about being Japanese and rebellious? Are they just going to let it go?"

    Uncle Zhang asked back: "If so many officials are really colluding with the Japanese, can our anti-Japanese war be won? But Hu Du's should not disturb your important affairs. It is necessary to kill the chickens and ban the monkeys. You are just right  Establish your authority!"

    Emperor Jiakang said: "Ai Qing's intention is to punish Hu and Du, but not the rest?"

    Uncle Zhang nodded: "Exactly, if your majesty listens to their false accusations and accusations and pursues hundreds of officials, everyone will be in danger and have no interest in political affairs. You will also be entangled in this matter, let alone the implementation of the New Deal.  The cabinet affairs will also be shelved. This just fulfills the wishes of the nobles and nobles of the clan. Your Majesty should remember that the prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was involved in witchcraft. In fact, it was completely unfounded. It was precisely because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was suspicious and had an ambiguous attitude.  In the end, the villain succeeds, but the dynasty and the emperor suffer the most!"

    Emperor Jiakang was agitated when he heard this. Yes, did he want to listen to those two people's rumors and examine all the officials in the court?

    This will not only delay the establishment of the cabinet, but also chill the hearts of all officials.

    "Once the officials lose trust in the court and the king, they will be complacent and cautious, the court will be in stagnant water, and it will be difficult to implement the New Deal.  No matter how talented and powerful you are, you will be unable to do anything alone.  Doomed to a lifetime of inaction.

    The next day, Emperor Jiakang was furious. He first characterized the mutual attack between Hu and Du as two people fighting for the position of second assistant.  Emperor Jiakang said he would not believe their nonsense.

    Finally, Emperor Jiakang changed the subject: "Hu Xuemin and Du Jiuyuan were officials of the Six Departments. For a little personal gain, he actually made false accusations and framed officials, causing trouble for hundreds of officials. He is not worthy of being an official, let alone being the head of the Six Departments. Get rid of Hu Xuemin as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.  Du Jiuyuan, the Minister of Rites, was demoted from his post as Minister of Industry and was demoted to the position of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry. He left the capital immediately and was not allowed to enter the capital unless summoned."

    Hu Xuemin was reduced to ten levels, and Du Jiuyuan was also reduced to nine levels. Emperor Jiakang also arranged for them to repair the house together. This is to let them accompany the capital to continue fighting. Out of sight, out of mind, let them fight to death or survive!

    Hu Xuemin and Du Jiuyuan were expelled from the Jinluan Palace. Emperor Jiakang immediately appointed a new minister. He transferred Lin Ruhai, the minister of the Imperial Academy to offer wine, as the minister of rites, and promoted Yin Feng, the former minister of the Ministry of official affairs, to the minister of the Ministry of official affairs.

    Finally, Emperor Jiakang appointed Zhang Jun, the uncle of the Zhang family, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, Huang Dayuan, the minister of punishment, as the second assistant, and the remaining six ministers as cabinet ministers.

    In October of the first year of Jiakang, the cabinet was established!

    Prince Xi was going to sit back and watch Emperor Jiakang sitting on the throne, but the cabinet was stranded, and he stepped in to clean up the mess. Who would have expected that Emperor Jiakang actually wiped the mud and beat his right-hand man Hu Xuemin to the end.  The newly promoted Yin Feng is a slippery man, and Lin Ruhai is not one of his own.

    Prince Xi really stole the chicken but lost the rice.  But he was full of energy and prepared to compete with the emperor as an assistant minister.

    There was a sudden confrontation in the imperial court. Regarding the same matter, there were both blue approval from the assistant minister and Zhu¡¯s approval from the emperor, but the replies were completely different.

    The officials were immediately dumbfounded.

    Emperor Jiakang had no choice. Prince Xi held the Shangfang Sword. He was the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor.

    The emperor fought with his uncle, and the Zhang family's uncle was helpless.

    Emperor Jiakang was extremely depressed. He sent a private message to Jia Lian in the court newspaper, complaining loudly, saying that Prince Xi wanted to be the Supreme Emperor and treated himself like a child, gesticulating and hampering the government.

    Jia Lian smiled and replied: My second uncle used to bully others, so I instigated my father to fight with him!

    Emperor Jia Kang took a look and immediately understood.

    Ask Queen Yu Lianyue to summon the second concubine of Prince Zhongjing to have an audience.

    The next day, the auxiliary minister, King Zhongjing, suddenly made a statement, saying that he was old and had no interest in political affairs, and asked to retire.

    Emperor Jiakang repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, and after King Zhongjing's three speeches, Emperor Jiakang approved King Zhongjing's plan and issued a decree happily. King Zhongjing was highly virtuous and respected, and he served the country wholeheartedly. He rewarded the prince with double salary and continued to serve as the imperial magistrate of the clan.

    On the same day, the Queen issued a decree and promoted Prince Zhongjing¡¯s pregnant second concubine to the title of legitimate concubine.

    Immediately, Emperor Jiakang promoted the Prince of Beijing County and the Prince of Nan'an County to imperial ministers, and put them in charge of the imperial guards and the inner court guards.

    Since then, Prince Xi¡¯s control over internal officials has been completely eliminated.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The pregnant second concubine is the legitimate concubine.
