Chapter 100: Between the king and the minister

After hearing this, Han Yong's expression stiffened for a while and said, "Okay."

Huai'en lowered his head and said, "The chief assistant has no orders, so I'll go back."

Han Yong ignored him.

Huai'en bowed slightly and stepped back.

Han Yong slowly sat on his Grand Master's chair and passed the message down, saying that he wanted to sleep for a while, not an emergency military situation, so he was not allowed to disturb him.

Then his eyes surrounded the entire room.

The most powerful cabinet minister in the world is actually not big, so he doesn't care about it.

It was just a suite separated from Wenyuan Pavilion. Outside was an office, there was only one table, and there was also a paperwork piled up on the four walls that could almost touch the ceiling.

Even in the box on the ground, under Han Yong's table, there are also a volume of documents.

This is all Han Yong’s work content.

And the inner room is not big.

In addition to a bed, some daily necessities are also books. A large number of books even piled up half of the bed. The quilts on it are even folded up.

This is Han Yong's work scope.

After all, the job of the chief assistant has never been to work or to get off work.

Usually nothing is fine.

Han Yong can also leave the palace before the palace gate is locked and go home to sleep for one night. However, once something happens, it is normal to go all night long.

And what is the matter in the Ming Dynasty?

As for a country of Ming Dynasty, it is hard to say that nothing happened that day.

In fact, it has been much better in recent years. When Han Yong just implemented the one-whip method, he only went home to sleep for a few days a year. He had to supervise the progress of the following every day, refute the opinions of the opposition, pay attention to some bad-intentioned personnel struggles, and also guess the spleen and stomach of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

This consumes a lot of his energy every year.

However, when the emperor was on the southern tour, Han Yong returned to the state he had at the beginning of the reform.

After all, the emperor was not in the capital, and as a left-behind minister, he had to take responsibility. He took care of the grandson, managed the court, and accepted the orders sent back by Zhu Qizhen.

We should pay more attention to the abnormal movements of all parties within the capital and eliminate many hidden dangers invisibly.

At this moment, he remembered that he had been in this duty room for ten years.

Han Yong picked up a pear and took a heavy bite. I wonder if it was bitten too fast. He felt a pain in his mouth. He reached out to touch it, but took out a broken tooth. He smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "So I am so old."

Time is always unconsciously taking away a lot of your things when you know it. It has been a long time, long time later.

Han Yong looked at the bloody broken teeth in his hand and found a piece of paper and wrapped it up.

Confucianism says that the body and hair should be taken by our parents and should not be discarded. Some people even collect the fallen hair. And Han Yong naturally would not throw away his teeth easily.

It's just a little bit of a shocking change than the one in front of you.

Just as he understood Huai'en's changes, Han Yong was in a very complicated mood.

There are shock, anger, resentment, resistance, etc. Now they have calmed down little by little.

Han Yong leaned heavily on the throne chair and sighed, "Ten years of the first minister is enough."

After all the personal emotions faded, Han Yong regained his political wisdom. Looking at him from the eyes of the bystanders, Han Yong also knew that it was time for him to ask for it.

After all, Zhu Qizhen has made various strengthenings to the cabinet.

In history, the cabinet became the core of the Ming Dynasty's administration, and experienced several emperors, but it only took more than ten years.

It is precisely because the cabinet has such great power that a person is not suitable for a long time to stay in this position.

After all, the current cabinet is not the cabinet of Emperor Xuanzong of Taizong. At that time, the cabinet was just an advisory institution, which led to Yang Shiqi as the chief minister of the cabinet for 21 years.

Just from the prime ministers of the orthodox dynasty, Han Yong has actually long enough.

However, how can human reason completely conquer emotions?

Han Yongming knew this, but how could a politician resist the authority that controls the world?

But he knew that he couldn't resist.

Han Yong knew that outsiders regarded him as the strongest prime minister in these years, but he only realized that no matter how strong he was, he could not fight against the emperor.

Now the emperor is really very polite to suggest this.

If he doesn't want to eat the punishment for toasting, he will face it in the future.

"Besides, Your Majesty has already arranged it for me, right?" Han Yong laughed in his heart, and couldn't help laughing, but there was a sense of desolation in his voice.

Han Yong did not understand before that the emperor had any way to offset the resentment of all directions against feudal matters. Now he already understood that the emperor did not need to offset the resentment of all directions.

The person who needs to offset the resentment of all directions is him, the chief assistant.

And he, the chief minister, was about to resign.

"Emperor, he is so smart." Han Yong said intimately.

He could figure this out, but even if he understood it all, so what if he did? He still had to do it.

After all, he also understood that the emperor had given him mercy.

Han Yong's basic foundation is in the scholastic world, and the resentment of the royal family in all directions cannot shake Han Yong's foundation. Even if Han Yong retreated and could not directly take charge of the government, he was also a big boss in the court.

Just like Cao Nai before.

However, he was still unwilling to give up.

Who can be willing?

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was also asking Huai'en: "You have explained everything to Mr. Han."

Huai'en explained everything he said and did before Han Yong, and said, "I think the Prime Minister will understand what Your Majesty means."

Zhu Qizhen stood with his hands behind his back, sighed slightly and said nothing.

Huai'en said carefully: "Or, I will go there again."

Zhu Qizhen said, "No need, what kind of person is Mr. Han? What you said is not a hint to him. He almost yelled in his ears. He would not misunderstand." Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen sighed casually and said, "Mr. Han is working hard for the country. I always feel a little sorry for him when I do this."

Huaien said: "Your Majesty is also for the court system. I think the chief minister will understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "Print an order."

Wyen immediately grinds the pen.

Zhu Qizhen paused slightly and said, "He was appointed as the Grand Secretary of Huagai Palace and the Minister of Personnel Han Yong, and was specially promoted to Ronglu Dafu and Taifu. Yinzi was the Minister of the Secretariat. He also ate four salary."

Generally speaking, the Grand Secretary was given the title of a minister of a certain department. This was a convention in the Three Yang period. It was just an additional official. Zhu Qizhen had no intention of changing it. Ronglu Dafu was the head of the literary officials of the Ming Dynasty, and it was useless. The Taifu was even the head of all officials.

But he had four salary together, which means that Han Yong could earn the salary of four official positions alone. In total, there were thousands of taels a year.

Although it is not many compared to some big businessmen, for an official, as long as he doesn’t show off his or her pomp, it will be enough to support him.

If you show off your show, it will not be enough to give it.

However, what Zhu Qizhen thought Han Yong cared about was this honor, not the actual money, because the Han family was originally a wealthy man in Jiangnan and was moved to Beijing. Although their property was greatly reduced, but if a cabinet chief was released, how could the Han family decline?

It’s not that Han Yong participated in certain things to benefit the Han family. But Han Yong didn’t say anything. The Han family was definitely smooth sailing in many things.

Having this family background, Han Yong doesn't care about these thousands of taels of silver.

But the weight of the Secretariat is large enough.

Originally, the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat was just a choreographer. There were no requirements, but the cabinet affairs increased greatly, and many Secretariat of the Central Secretariat were able to access the first-class secrets of the Ming Dynasty.

It’s like being a civil servant, can the civil servants below be the same as those of the State Council?

If Han Yong can make a few children a member of the Secretariat, he will at least have a fifth-rank official in the future, and he will be open and upright. Don’t think that a fifth-rank official has a bad future. Even the Han family’s children cannot be all developed in the officialdom. There are too many things that the son is not like the father.

Han Yong naturally has a way to arrange his future for a truly talented child, but for some mediocre people, this seems to be a choice.

Of course, this is also Zhu Qizhen's supervision of Han Yong on another aspect.
