What Liu Aiqing said is certainly reasonable, but now is an extraordinary time. At present, although I have eliminated external worries, internal troubles are not stopped. The thieves plundered Shaanxi, the western thieves entrenched in Sichuan, and the Ainengqi rebels rose again, successively captured Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangdong, and approached the capital!

The situation is so sinister, the internal troubles are so serious, have the courtiers ever done their duty? Has the cabinet ever been derelict in his duties? At this time, what are you talking about ancestral traditions, and what are you talking about with literature and martial arts?

Chen Yuegong is in the community, although he is not a civil servant, but he has a good strategy, and his ability to govern is not under you, so why not let him govern? When the Han and Tang dynasties were in and out, how could I be in the Ming Dynasty?

At present, the Ming Dynasty is in civil strife, the treasury is empty, counterinsurgency, financial management, and changing the malpractice, there are too many things to deal with, and non-powerful people are not competent! ”

Chongzhen opened his mouth to speak, but his tone became more and more sonorous and firm. As he spoke, even he himself had some belief that letting Chen Yue govern was an excellent choice.

As he spoke, Chongzhen couldn't help but recall in his mind that back then, when he first arrived in Huai'an from the sea, Chen Yue mentioned to himself the three major drawbacks of the Ming Dynasty and the various methods of Zhongxing and the Ming Dynasty. At that time, I was also excited, determined to reform the malpractice system and reproduce the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

However, it has been three years since he arrived in Nanjing, and Chongzhen looked back on three years and found with shame that he had not brought any changes to the Ming Dynasty, and the imaginary reforms had not been implemented. I have been in Nanjing for more than three years, except for the period of illness, I have been busy every day, but Daming is getting worse and worse!

Chen Yue's martial arts are ancient and modern, Chen Yue has reformed the salt system, and in the governor of Jiangbei, the Yangzhou Mansion has been governed at night and in an orderly manner, laying the foundation for Yangzhou to defeat the Manchu puppet king Duoduo, and the ability to govern can be seen!

I am now old and sick, and the princess is young and has different government affairs, so having Chen Yue help me deal with government affairs is really the best choice! ”

In the end, Chongzhen's tone was already very firm.

Liu Zongzhou looked at Chongzhen in amazement, he couldn't believe his hearing at all, how could such words come out of Chongzhen's mouth? As an emperor, shouldn't he strengthen the power in his hands and prevent the ministers from becoming big and threatening the imperial power? Why did Your Majesty do the opposite?

Could it be that in the eyes of His Majesty, King Qi is really so credible? Although His Majesty wants to marry the crown princess to Chen Yue, the king of Qi, the king of Qi is also His Majesty's son-in-law. But no matter how the son-in-law is an outsider, Yang Jian can take the throne from his daughter's grandson, and what is strange about the son-in-law usurping the old father-in-law's country?

"Your Majesty think twice!" Liu Zongzhou trembled and knelt down, "Your Majesty, delegating power to subordinates is not a blessing for the society, the old minister is worried that the Ming Dynasty is in danger of overturning!" ”

Chongzhen looked at Liu Zongzhou quietly, he knew that if there were real loyal ministers in the court, it would be the person in front of him. There may be another one, but he has been sent to Jiujiang far away......

Liu Zuoxian said cautiously! The loyalty of King Qi is known to the world, and over the years, how much King Qi has done for His Majesty and for the Ming Dynasty, you and I and the world can see it. The father of King Qi, Zhongguogong, lost his life for the sake of the Ming Dynasty! ”

At the critical moment, Qian Qianyi hurriedly stood up and strongly supported Chongzhen's decision.

"You, you, Qian Muzhai, you are a minister!" Liu Zongzhou saw that he couldn't persuade Chongzhen to change his mind, so he turned his anger on Qian Qianyi, and pointed at Qian Qianyi and scolded angrily.

Qian Qianyi showed a wry smile on his face: "Brother Qidong, if I can make the Ming Society live forever, if I can make the Ming Dynasty prosperous, what if I am a minister?" ”

Hearing Qian Qianyi shouting his own words, and thinking about the friendship between the two, Liu Zongzhou snorted coldly and stopped persecuting.

"Elder Qian Ge, since everyone agrees with King Qi Bingzheng, but I don't know how to uphold the law? Is it to serve as the first assistant to the cabinet? It seems that my Ming Dynasty also has a rule that non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet, don't talk about Hanlin King Qi, even if he is not a child? Liu Zongzhou sneered, trying to find another way to stop this. Everyone knows that you Qian Muzhai wants to be the first assistant, and now you don't feel good about letting Chen Yue be the first assistant, right?

"Bingzheng doesn't have to be the first assistant in the cabinet, you can change to another name." Qian Qianyi smiled. For being the first assistant, in fact, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Oh, how can you govern if you are not the first assistant, why not re-establish the prime minister, and let Chen Yue be the prime minister of my Ming Dynasty?" Liu Zongzhou sneered, "But back then, Taizu once issued a holy decree, 'In the future, the heir will not have to discuss the prime minister, and those who have been set up by his subordinates will be punished with capital punishment. 'Mo Feier and the others want to overthrow Taizu's holy decree, but can't they? ”

Overthrowing Taizu's holy decree, not to mention that the ministers didn't dare, even Chongzhen himself didn't dare to think about it.

Qian Qianyi showed a wry smile on his face, but he was sighing in his heart, feeling that Qi King Chen Yue was prescient, and he had long expected that the court would have the current situation.

"Resetting the prime minister is against the holy decree of Taizu, how dare we think about it?" Qian Qianyi said, "However, King Qi Bingzheng is not without workarounds. Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that the position of 'Provisional President' be established, and the King of Qi should be the provisional president of my Ming Dynasty, temporarily acting as the cabinet authority, and dealing with the national affairs of my Ming Dynasty! ”

Interim President? There was a "buzz" in the court, and there was a discussion immediately. The name Gain is so strange that it's simply unheard of.

"The president, all the government affairs of the president, the powers are indeed similar to those of the cabinet." Some ministers carefully tasted this name and praised it.

"What I said is, what is even better is the word temporary, temporary subordination, at the moment I am really worried about a lot of troubles, and the establishment of a president is just an expedient measure, and when the situation in my Ming Dynasty settles down, it can naturally be easily canceled." The other minister laughed.

The courtiers praised it, but everyone knew that maybe it would be canceled when the situation stabilized, but they didn't know if it was the position of the president that was canceled, or only the word temporary?

At this time, Liu Zongzhou was dumbfounded, and Qian Qianyi casually threw out the title of a bullshit interim president, but he immediately broke up his offensive.

Non-Hanlin can't enter the cabinet? But the president bypassed the cabinet! The establishment of the prime minister violates the holy decree of Taizu? Although the power of the president is basically the same as that of the prime minister, he is not the prime minister. Of course, he can also argue that the president is exercising the power of the prime minister, which is a different name for the prime minister. But the powers of the first assistant of the cabinet are not under the prime minister, and they have existed in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years?

Although Liu Zongzhou was full of indignation, he didn't know how to refute it. Because of his status and status, he doesn't bother to use strong words at all.

On the throne, when he heard this title, Chongzhen secretly scolded in his heart, although this title came from Qian Qianyi's mouth, but with Chongzhen's understanding of Qian Qianyi, he would never come up with such a name. Most of it was the damn Chen Yue's idea!

But even so, what can I do? I can only pinch my nose and endure it.

"Provisional President, this is a great reputation! Let Chen Yue temporarily take this position! ”
