Chapter 2275 Guizi scroll Xiangquan imperial power, implanted in the heart

   Zhang Huaichang did not discuss with Feng Ziying the details of the negotiations between the imperial court and Nanjing. Perhaps he felt that the conditions were not yet ripe, or that Feng Ziying could learn from Qi Yongtai. In short, he was vague.

  However, Feng Ziying could still hear some information from the other party's few words. The struggle for imperial power is undoubtedly the highlight.

  The Great Zhou Dynasty followed the former Ming Dynasty, but it was not the same.

The birth of the first auxiliary is usually a compromise between scholars from various factions in the court, such as scholars from the south of the Yangtze River, scholars from the north, and scholars from Huguang. Quite influential scholar leaders, after full deliberation and compromise, reached a consensus and recommended them to the emperor, and the emperor ordered him to serve as the first assistant, and then the first assistant recommended the cabinet ministers to join the cabinet according to the original consultation opinions.

If the chief minister is not replaced but only supplemented or replaced cabinet ministers, it usually needs to be communicated, mainly the cabinet ministers and the six ministers, and now the seven ministers, plus the imperial censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Negotiate and finalize the candidate.

  This is almost a simplified version of Tingtui, but it is more coordinated through consultation and led by the chief assistant.

  Like the six ministers and ministers, as well as the governors and inspectors of the provinces, they basically follow this model.

   That is to say, civil servants of the third rank or above must follow this model to conduct court consultations, and then report to the emperor, who will issue an order and then be confirmed by the Ministry of Officials.

  However, the emperor's ruling power is a game of imperial power and power.

Theoretically, the emperor could veto the results of the court push, but in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were only a handful of times in which the veto was not in line with the emperor's wishes, both of which happened in the early period of Emperor Yuanxi, and once because the candidate was seriously ill. He voluntarily resigned, once the scholars insisted, and finally appointed him by decree, but because of the disagreement between the first assistant and the emperor, the operation was not smooth, and the last two years later the first assistant voluntarily resigned and changed hands.

  So in terms of the persistence of the court recommendation system, the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty still maintained it relatively well, and the previous emperors basically gave them enough respect, but this was the case for the chief minister, but not for other cabinet ministers and third-rank officials.

  The emperor has greater discretion over the cabinet ministers selected by the court. He can veto them, or propose replacements, or even directly propose candidates he likes. This is the core of the struggle for imperial power, and no one is willing to give in easily.

As for the right to appoint and remove officials of the third rank, it is not so drastic. The emperor can have some opinions of his own, and he can also propose some candidates of his own. If you can grasp this scale well, as long as the relationship between the first assistant and the emperor is not too rigid, basically it can end harmoniously.

  Taking the Yonglong Dynasty as an example, Shen had always been an official, so he strongly recommended Ye Xianggao. The scholars and civil servants also agreed, and Emperor Yonglong could only approve it.

  But in the addition of the cabinet ministers, Emperor Yonglong once wanted to let Zhang Jingqiu join the cabinet, but Ye Xianggao disagreed. Later, Emperor Yonglong had to retreat and approve Li Sancai.

Another example is that Zhang Jingqiu was first transferred to the Ministry of War as Zuo Shilang, and later as Minister. In fact, the cabinet did not approve of it, but Emperor Yonglong pushed hard, and the cabinet compromised, including Gu Bingqian as Minister of Rites, Ye Xianggao and Qi Yongtai. The others were also resolutely opposed, but finally fulfilled Emperor Yonglong's wish.

  So the game of imperial power and power displayed through the court promotion system has always been changing according to the emperor's prestige and reign time, the authority of the chief minister, and the degree of unity of the scholars.

  Yuan Chun enjoys the situation of cuddling up with his lover and saying this, and the topic of the talk is also "insider" news that can't be heard outside.

   "Then your father still wants to continue the fight?" Yuan Chun asked with his winking eyes, leaning his plump face under Feng Ziying's chin, and raised his head.

"The fight will definitely continue. The court didn't call for a truce, but how to fight and how intense it is may need to be analyzed in detail. My father will naturally have to decide according to the situation on the battlefield, but Niu and Sun won your uncle. For the time being, the support can stabilize the battle situation, the imperial court has no spare power to send other troops to the south for a while, and there are foreign enemies and internal troubles in northern Shanxi and Liaodong, so it seems that this situation can only be dragged on in a short time."

Feng Ziying also analyzed that unless Yuan Keli can quickly solve the chaos in Shanxi, Ma Jinbao's Guyuan Army and several Shaanxi Guards will be free to move eastward to South Zhili to support Dad's Northwest Army, and Dad is willing to go all out Fight across the Yangtze River, otherwise the battle will have to drag on for a while.

  There is another variable here, Chen Jixian, but this guy obviously enjoys this kind of taste of having both sides, but as time goes by and the situation changes, the final outcome of his nonsense remains to be seen.

"How is the situation in the palace?" After talking about the outside affairs, Feng Ziying also needs to be concerned about the situation in the palace. In fact, Zhou Peisheng has already revealed a lot to Feng Ziying, but Feng Ziying still has to show concern for Yuanchun, so as to be in line with the situation. lover's attitude.

"It's not very good. Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinyun are acting like crazy, moving around, tossing inside and outside the palace. Xu Junru seems to be desperate, but he didn't make much trouble. Su Lingyao also refused to give up. Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji are also running around outside, but who will pay attention to them now?" Yuan Chun leaned comfortably in his lover's arms, his eyes were half closed, and his cheeks were flushed, "The negotiation between the imperial court and Nanjing is still a gossip. But everyone in the palace believed it, so the popularity dissipated all of a sudden, and it was a bit chaotic. Even the three relatives were affected. When I came out of the palace, I just said hello and came out. Cross-examined, but this time didn't even ask."

   "Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi, and Guo Qinyun didn't come to make it difficult for you, right?" Feng Ziying lovingly supported Tuo Yuanchun's round and smooth naked buttocks, making the two of them squeeze even tighter.

"During the time you left, Su Lingyao seemed to have noticed that Guo Qinyun and I were getting close, so she was not happy, and made things difficult for her twice, and then she was busy fighting with Guo Qinyun. I was happy to hide on the side and relax, Meiyuexi didn't come to do anything, and even felt a little friendly, I didn't dare to get involved, so I kept a flat attitude towards it,..."

"Well, that's it, let them go dog to dog, these people don't think about it, who can succeed the emperor can be decided by a few women in the palace? It's better to be in the palace if you have that spirit Keeping yourself safe will win the goodwill of the princes in the court, and maybe you can add some points to their sons, such biting and chaotic fights will only increase the hatred, and it will only make it worse."

  Feng Ziying is understated and authentic.

   "Then you mean that the negotiations with Nanjing will not be successful, and Prince Yizhong will have no chance?" Yuan Chun asked curiously.

"That's not to say, if Prince Yizhong is willing to accept the "harsh" conditions of the court princes, it is not hopeless, but Prince Yizhong is definitely not willing to be a puppet, it depends on him and Niu Jizong, Sun Shaozu and the prince behind him How long can Teng and the others last, and what is his strength? He has to consider that once the situation in the court improves, he will be completely useless. And his son, of course, his son may not have the chance to succeed,..."

  Feng Ziying's words surprised Yuan Chun, "Ah, Prince Yizhong is already the emperor, why can't his son succeed him in the future?"

"It's too complicated here. Who said that if he becomes the emperor, his son will definitely be the emperor? Isn't it the same for the current emperor? Besides, if the princes of the court feel that they owe the current emperor, let Prince Yizhong be a few After the emperor died, how about returning the throne to the current emperor's son? Or the son of Prince Yizhong is dead, and the other sons don't like it?"

  Yuan Chun was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

   In this way, wouldn't the throne be completely controlled by the important officials of the court? What's the point of being an emperor?

Feng Ziying didn't think there was anything wrong, and it's not uncommon for powerful ministers to be in power. Earlier Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Wang Dun and Wang Dao in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and even Huan Wen, even Yang Tinghe in the previous Ming Dynasty could also decide who would come in. Following the Datong?

Of course, there are still some differences in the Great Zhou Dynasty now. It is not that a single powerful minister can dominate the power, but a huge group of civil servants wants to control the government and compete with the imperial power. But in this situation, the imperial power is obviously unable to compete with the civil servants. Yes, we can only give in and compromise, and of course it does not rule out that in the future when the wise and powerful emperor succeeds to the throne, he will be able to alienate civil servants, or use warriors to suppress civil servants, and regain the power that belongs to the emperor.

Seeing Yuan Chun's unbelievable look, Feng Ziying straightened her body and hugged this charming carcass even tighter, "Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about these things, anyway, I'm also a civil servant. As for a member of Ting Tui, I also have a share. If you give birth to a son for me and read the book, you can also become a member of civil servants in the future, and you may not be unable to enter the cabinet. Compared with being a nameless Wouldn't it be much better to be an emperor who is not allowed to be free?"

With a groan, Yuan Chun's body became hot, catering to Feng Ziying's ups and downs, and he couldn't help thinking about the distance in his heart. Maybe this is not impossible. If he went out of the palace and changed his identity to become his wife and concubine, and gave birth to a son who was successful in school, The tiger father has no sons, everyone said that he must join the court to pay homage to the prime minister, and his own son may not be able to inherit his father's business, and he will also be the chief assistant. Yuan Chun still has absolute confidence in his body. The next few sons are no problem.
