Chapter 106                                                             

Xu Jie's core power, that is, Xu Jie's disciples, split into two factions. As for the external forces of the Xu Party, they all dispersed. Some defected to Zhou Mengchen and some defected to Gao Gong. And so on.

But even so, Xu Jie's political influence is not weak.

Zhang Juzheng is the main opponent of Li Chunfang. Whoever can fully integrate so many disciples of Xu Jie means that his strength has increased greatly. Both sides are in the stage of competing for legacy.

You're welcome. Zhang Juzheng wished that Li Chunfang wouldn't get sick and would go home immediately. In this way, Xu Jie's disciples would be united by Zhang Juzheng's side.

After all, there is no one above that is difficult to be an official.

But Zhang Juzheng still needs to be decent when doing things.

Naturally, I couldn't say yes directly, but lowered my head slightly and said, "Zhang, I'm talking about being with the last seat in the cabinet. There is no room for such a big deal. Naturally, what are the seniors saying, it's all."

Zhou Mengchen said: "Since that's the case, this matter will be decided. The next step is the division of labor between the three."

Gao Gong said: "I'm going to supervise the Ministry of Personnel, I'm familiar with this."

Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "Good guy, I really take it as a matter of perseverance." The Ministry of Personnel was too powerful. As soon as Gao Gong opened his mouth, he cut off the fattest piece.

Zhou Mengchen said: "This is no problem, but His Majesty the Minister of Personnel has appointed one person."

Gao Gong said, "Who?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Gao Yao."

Gao Gong sneered and said, "Another Yan Song."

Zhou Mengchen also knew that Gao Yao was indeed unauthorized and shameless. In a word, he dared to do what others dared to do for Jiajing, and he was unwilling to do for what others were unwilling to do for Jiajing. His moral bottom line was nowhere higher than Yan Song.

Moreover, this person has not had a high qualification. He has only been two or three years, and now he is about to be promoted to the position of Minister of Personnel. This shows how much Jiajing values ​​him.

Jiajing looked like his slave.

Zhou Mengchen said, "It is difficult to do the holy order, why not. The Ministry of Personnel will hand over this to someone else."

I don’t know if it was because of Gao Gong’s temper or Gao Gong hit Zhou Mengchen’s aggressive behavior. Gao Gong said, “No need. This matter must be me, and others cannot suppress such shameless people.”

Zhou Mengchen said: "Since that's the case, Brother Gao will supervise the Ministry of Justice."

Gao Gong glanced at Zhou Mengchen and said, "Yes."

Gao Gong actually didn't care about the Ministry of Justice, because the Ministry of Justice is a bit useless now. Because Zhou Mengchen's reform of the court has raised the Censorate, and all kinds of judicial institutions have been placed under the Censorate. However, the case of the Censorate needs to be reviewed by Dali Temple. The Censorate is supervised.

By the way, the Censorate also supervises the cabinet.

In this way, the Minister of Justice did not have the right to make a final decision.

The Ministry of Justice gave up a large part of the powers. Gao Gong naturally didn't care. It can be said that Zhou Mengchen's troubles were the department with the least power among the six ministries.

Zhou Mengchen said to Yang Bo: "Military system reform is of great importance. You must not neglect it. You will connect with the Privy Council again. Everything is busy, so Brother Yang will just supervise the Ministry of War."

Zhou Mengchen was a little dissatisfied with Yang Bo.

Zhou Mengchen could see that Yang Bo was very perfunctory in the reform of the military system. This made Zhou Mengchen feel very uncomfortable. Now he pointed it out in a tactful way. However, Zhou Mengchen said it cannot be misunderstood.

The Minister of War and the Privy Council jointly control the military power. The power is indeed very great.

Moreover, the divisions divided by Zhou Mengchen does not just say that each Grand Secretary is responsible for the affairs of each department. What is the difference between it and the Minister of the Ministry? In fact, controlling each department actually means controlling the decision-making power of different fronts.

The ministers of each department were lowered to the execution level.

Yang Bo's power is much greater than that of the previous Minister of War. But even so, Yang Bo was a little dissatisfied. He felt that Zhou Mengchen did not take care of him. However, he had just entered the cabinet and had some things that were hard to say.

So nothing was said.

Zhou Mengchen said: "You are the responsibility of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue."

In this way, Zhou Mengchen is the prime minister, Li Chunfang is the prime minister of etiquette, Gao Gong is the chief of personnel affairs, Yang Bo is the prime minister of military affairs, and Zhang Juzheng is the chief of wealth.

After confirming the division of labor, Zhou Mengchen asked them to take charge of their own affairs.

After all, this period of time has also squeezed some things.

Uncle Zhang was left alone to discuss the issue.

At this moment, Zhou Mengchen didn't care about showing his intimate relationship with Zhang Juzheng. First of all, Zhou Mengchen and Zhang Juzheng's years of friendship cannot be hidden from others. At least everyone here knows it.

After all, knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle. No matter how many people are ally or enemies in the future, you must always understand others, the better.

After everyone else left, Zhou Mengchen asked Shen Shixing to stay outside to prevent the partition wall from happening. Zhang Juzheng leaked a little worried and said, "Feixiong, I don't know how you told Your Majesty. But you know what kind of person our Majesty is."

"Just in case."

Zhou Mengchen knew very well what Zhang Juzheng meant.

How did Xia Yan die?

Xia Yan submitted a reply to the remake in front of Jiajing, but Jiajing agreed. Xia Yan also had Jiajing's promise, so he dared to invest a lot of resources without hesitation. It was so difficult to return and he could not turn back. At this time, Jiajing suddenly changed his mind.

Only then did Xia Yan die.

Jiajing's credit is just that.

It’s just that there are some things that are hard to say here, and they can only hint.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Why do you fear risks when doing big things? Mother-in-law and mother can't do anything. Now I don't think Your Majesty will change his mind easily. After all, there are four million taels in it."

Then Zhou Mengchen told him what he promised Jiajing.

Zhang Juzheng frowned and said, "You asked me to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue for this? Although I did not go to the Ministry of Revenue to make accounts, the annual balance is only a few hundred thousand taels, which is still good. At least I don't owe it. Go to heaven to get these four million taels. The court cannot afford it."

Zhou Mengchen said: "I know. But this thing has to be done. Do you think the cabinet can afford to reform the important task of reform without reform?"

Zhang Juzheng was speechless for a moment.

Zhou Mengchen said: "As long as I can sit down for two terms, the rest depends on the people behind me. These four million taels can be given, and they can be cut off in the future."

After hearing Zhou Mengchen's words, Zhang Juzheng didn't know what to react for a moment.

After being tempered by Xu Jie, the old fried dough stick, Zhou Mengchen became unscrupulous. Zhang Juzheng was still worried that Jiajing would change his mind. However, he did not expect that Zhou Mengchen did not think too much about keeping his promise.

A politician never believes in his mouth. He can only make decisions that are beneficial to him at critical moments, and does not care what he carries behind this decision.

Because politicians bear more. Because of these responsibilities, they have time to give up something, such as a sense of morality and honor.

Why did Zhou Mengchen emphasize that he had two positions? Because in ten years, many things can become accustomed to them. Zhou Mengchen did not respect Jiajing's strength, nor did he underestimate the power of the scholars and officials.

Only if Zhou Mengchen maintains the new cabinet constitution for a period of time, the future civil servants will not give up their rights in vain. Whether these systems can be maintained at that time is not Zhou Mengchen's business.

Zhang Juzheng sighed and said, "Since that's the case, where does such a large gap come from?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "The reason why I was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works is that on the one hand, it is to manage the Yellow River. I still hope you can do it. You must have a certain amount of money and grain in the Ministry of Revenue. Secondly, it is that you must be rich no matter what you do. Although the court is richer now, it seems far from enough in my opinion. This way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure must be on the Ministry of Revenue. Therefore, the person in charge of this aspect must be a person who is the same as me. Please help me."

Zhang Juzheng sighed and said, "Just like before, you just need to convince me. I will naturally do my best to help you. This is not to help you, but a man who should do good and stop seeing bad things. But I really don't know that if you want to do things, it is good or bad things."

This is also Zhang Juzheng's voice.

Although the relationship between the two is still very good, it is not the relationship between the Wuchang city back then. Sometimes they feel that each other is a little strange.
