Jiang Mian widened his eyes. Is it still important whether he will refuse to retire?

This guy in front of me is going to change his cabinet!

"Sir Yan, I'm still three months away. Are you too much?"

He has to be impeached for five years first, right? There are only three months left!

Yan Chengjin looked at Jiang Mian with a pale face. Who knows when you will make a mistake next time? "As the chief censor, I will be the chief censor, and I will be able to impeach Lord Jiang, which has nothing to do with this matter."

Even if it is related, it should be said to be unrelated.

Cui Yan muttered inexplicably, looked at Yan Chengjin, quite worried: "Mr. Yan, if you count it, Mr. Li and Mr. Xie can both retire directly."

"That's right, Mr. Li can retire three times." The official of the Ministry of Personnel next to him whispered.

Yan Chengjin straightened his body and said solemnly: "Mr. Li is a pillar of the court, and he has remained loyal to the Qing Dynasty. I have read many books and never found any evidence of his crime. I can hold him for another year."

There are still a lot of memorials in the cabinet. It is so difficult to find a clean official who is strategic but will not harm him. With Li Dongyang in the cabinet, he dared not read memorials in the cabinet. Zhu Houzhao probably thought so.

Moreover, if you really impeach your father-in-law, you will be hit by lightning.

Li Dongyang was stunned for a while before saying seriously: "It's important to be serious, so I'd better wait until the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing to discuss it."

Jiang Mian looked at Zhu Houzhao and said with a glimmer of hope: "That minister?"

"Retire yourself first."

"..." Jiang Mian.

Don’t you check it first? I was just angry just now and then resigned. He can work for another three months.

I heard that most officials who were retired by the court were unsecured in their later years and died within a few years. If the five-year cabinet system was implemented, would the court still be three months away?

"...I can come to court at my own expense."

At this moment, the Dukes and all officials reacted from Yan Chengjin's words, and their attention was once again on Jiang Mian. In the future, they must not be like Duke Jiang.

"Duke Chiang can directly give me a three-month salary, so there is no need to come."

A foolish lord!

Jiang Mian bowed slightly and took off his official hat with sad expression: "New Emperor, I will not be loyal to the court in the future."

The officials in the hall heard a burst of secret curses.

Yan Chengjin wished he could not invite the old man who sold eggs and vegetable leaves to the palace and missed an opportunity to help the poor.

Zhu Houzhao was also very shameless. After entering Beijing, Duke Chiang often blocked the political affairs of the court, and he was not allowed to teach the crown prince Ma Zheng. Retirement was a good thing.

But Mr. Chiang worked hard without credit.

"Transfer my order that Mr. Chiang can live in the Yangjianyuan and never charge cash for the rest of his life."

Who cares about it!

You can forget it!

Jiang Mian handed the official hat to Gu Dayong with tears in his eyes, took off his official clothes, looked at his former colleagues full of grief, and wanted to bow to Zhu Houzhao.

But I heard Zhu Houzhao say: "The cabinet recommends another Grand Secretary to me."

So Jiang Mian came out of the hall without looking back.

After dispersing from the court, only Zhu Houzhao and Yan Chengjin were left in the hall. Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Dayong: "The kindness I gave to Master Jiang is the same as Master Liu."

"The new emperor is so kind. Fortunately, those civil servants even scold the new emperor."

"Well, I don't like crying." Zhu Houzhao waved her hand and said indifferently.

Yan Chengjin didn't expect that this guy would care about the old minister who retired, and Jiang Mian was also sincere and did not have much hatred for this person.

"Lao Gao, you haven't said anything yet, what benefits will you get?"

This guy was in the court just now, avoiding the important things and being less suspicious, he would not be easily confused.

"If I don't cut it, the Supreme Emperor will also cut it. I want to give the Supreme Emperor a step. Who can tell me to be the minister of the humble one?"

Yan Chengjin guessed that the Supreme Emperor should have arrived in the capital. I wonder if he will show up tomorrow morning?

The decay of the cabinet is related to the prosperity of the court. Even if you don’t show up, you will hide in the side hall to peek at the hall.

...

South City,

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the prosperous scene outside the carriage. Compared with the land of Huguang, the land of Jingjin is paradise.

"Yan Chengjin gave advice in the court."

Xiao Jing could think of what the situation would be in the court. If he became the chief minister of the cabinet, who would not have been appointed to retire, but Yan Chengjin dared to give advice for only five years.

Is this breaking his own official career?

After all, he also wants to be the prime minister.

"Go back to the palace first. Don't make any statement about my return to the palace. I will pick up some tributes from the treasury for me to send to Jiang Qing's family."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi did not want to interfere in the cabinet restructuring.

As for Jiang Mian's resignation, the emperor and the ministers were all replaced by the cabinet ministers left by the previous emperor?

Hou Zhao is smart and knows it well.

...

Cabinet, room.

Xie Qian sighed and looked at the desk of Jiang Mian beside him.

There are more memorandums to be reviewed today, but we can understand Yan Chengjin's intention to do this. When Emperor Gao abolished the Secretariat, it was to restrict the power of the Secretariat. Now, this is undoubtedly a move first, before the Supreme Emperor rectified it.

Save the cabinet.

If once every five years, the emperor feels that a certain Grand Secretary has too much authority and can make him retire after his term of office expires.

Only such a cabinet will last forever.

"You guy, what you think is a good idea, but Mr. Jiang is too unfair, right?"

Yan Chengjin nodded, "Duke Chiang is indeed wronged, but if Chiang did not retire, there is no reason to rectify the cabinet."

Even a foolish monarch like Song Gaozong wanted to kill Yue Fei, he would have to make a false charge.

This is probably the reason for creating no difficulties.

The emperor rectified the administration of officials for no reason, which would inevitably make all officials feel disappointed. Who else would be loyal to the court?

Zhang Sheng snorted lightly. He had always been in good terms with Jiang Mian, and was a little dissatisfied with Yan Chengjin's move.

Yan Chengjin walked out of the cabinet, but was called to the harem by Xiao Jing like a thief.

It's still the inconspicuous side hall.

When he walked into the door, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi sat on the imperial chair, with a dish in front of him.

There is also Zhu Houzhao kneeling on the gold brick.

No need to ask, after returning from this inspection, I saw that there were countless hungry people in the world who were whipping Zhu Houzhao.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin with a bright look, "You guy, do you know I want to cut off the cabinet?"

"I have a saying, don't you know whether you should speak or not?"

"explain."

"The new emperor's lazy government is that most of the memorials are reviewed by the cabinet, and there is no need to submit them to the emperor. The cabinet will defend the country for the emperor, so the authority will naturally become greater and greater. I think of this..."

The dog official Lao Gao actually slandered me.

Zhu Houzhao looked up at the Supreme Emperor, then lowered her head.

"Continue to talk." The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi said lightly.

"A system of five years, no matter how powerful the cabinet's power is, it will be decided by the emperor and the officials to stay or leave after the deadline. The power of the cabinet can be balanced. The cabinet can not only read the world's affairs for the emperor, but will not interfere with the imperial power.

Please allow the Supreme Emperor!”

Isn't this better than the Supreme Emperor who is directly cut off?

Based on the previous term of the Grand Secretary, it would be almost eight years. For example, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian wanted to retire for a few years, but the court did not allow him.

It is a good thing for the court and officials.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "Please send a good decree, but I always feel that I owe Duke Chiang."

"I will take care of Mr. Chiang's business as compensation."

“…”

After coming out of the side hall, I saw the sun hanging in the sky. It was time to issue an order. Yan Chengjin came straight to the Meridian Gate and saw a familiar voice sounding from behind.

It made him feel numb.

"My nephew, is it worth it?"
Chapter completed!
