As soon as the eight-character comment of "self-righteous and on paper" came out, Yang Sichang, who was hiding in the crowd and did not dare to speak, trembled his hands. He had tried his best to endure and didn't dare to speak out, but he still couldn't escape Xia Nan's claws. These eight words deeply poked at his sore spot, and the reasons listed made him unable to refute, and the word "waste" made him even more embarrassed.

Zhu Cihong obviously had no experience in dealing with this kind of scene, and was a little at a loss, so he looked at Wen Tiren for help.

Wen Tiren is in the same trench as Xia Nan, so naturally he will not dismantle his teammates' platform, seeing Zhu Cihong's gaze coming over, he coughed twice, and studied the gold bricks on the ground with his eyes down.

Zhu Cihong saw that Shoufu did not respond, and looked at the other civil and military officials. The ministers are very clear about the grievances between Yang Sichang and Xia Nan, and the scene of the soldiers admonishing the imperial city is still vivid, the gods fight, mortals suffer, and everyone holds the mentality of "dead friends do not die poor", either bow their heads, or look at their noses and noses, but no one stands up.

Zhu Cihong glanced around, but no one said anything, feeling that it was difficult to support alone, so he had to ask weakly: "Since Xia Aiqing is opposed, then Yang Sichang will no longer hold the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, but such an important position in the main hall of the Ministry of War cannot be vacant......"

Yang Sichang felt that all the strength in his body was drained, his feet were weak, and he almost fell.

Xia Nan nodded with satisfaction: "Your Majesty Shengming." However, the minister only knew that Yang Sichang was not suitable for the position of this soldier, as for who was suitable for this position, the minister was far away from the temple and did not dare to be good at it, so he still asked the ministers to recommend it. ”

Wen Tiren made a look, and Wang Yingxiong, a scholar of Dongge University, came out at the right time and said: "Your Majesty has a clear view: the minister recommends Chen Xinjia, the right attendant of the military department. During his tenure as the military preparation officer of Ningqian Dao and the governor of Xuanfu, Chen Shilang rectified the armament and repaired the border defense, and was known as a soldier and could serve as the secretary of the military department. ”

As if it was a good discussion, Qian Shisheng, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, also came out to play: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Followed by Tang Shiji, the imperial history of the left capital, also clearly expressed his attitude: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Chen Xinjia did not serve as the right attendant of the military department for a long time, but when he served as the military preparation road and governor in the border town, his reputation and reputation were good, and the ministers also heard about it. At this time, seeing several bigwigs speaking at the same time, my heart was naturally mirrored, this was what the bigwigs had discussed a long time ago, and the result was already doomed, I just need to echo it, and I must not use my mantis arm as a car. As a result, hundreds of officials who observed the direction of the wind came out one after another, agreeing that Chen Xinjia should take over the post of secretary of the military department.

The one-sided situation above the court caught Zhu Cihong off guard. He never expected that his efforts to save Yang Sichang's life and win over such an important minister would come to naught in a blink of an eye. Even if he conforms to the wishes of the ministers and promotes Chen Xinjia, I'm afraid that this new Shangshu is more grateful to Pingnanhou than himself, right?

But no matter what, Zhu Cihong couldn't "resist public opinion", so he could only pinch his nose and passively accept this reality. He said helplessly: "Since everyone strongly recommends Chen Xinjia, then he will succeed him as the secretary of the Ministry of War......

Chen Xinjia hid the excitement in his heart, and knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The minister must do his best to live up to His Majesty's love. Although Chen Xinjia was mentally prepared for the arrival of this moment after participating in the secret meeting of the Wen Mansion, it was still a little like a dream when this heavy position really fell on his head.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the ancients don't deceive me. After retreating into the queue, Chen Xinjia looked at Xia Nan happily, and then at Wen Tiren, choosing to participate in the assembly that night and joining this alliance that seemed to be a little loose, now it seems that it is an extremely correct decision. With the support of the heavyweight boss, he was able to achieve a triple jump and sit in the position of his own soldier in a very short period of time through the brief transition from the governor to the squire.

After confirming the position of the secretary of the military department, Wen Tiren continued: "Your Majesty, the hundred officials have been restored to their positions and performed their duties, is it time to discuss the reward of Pingnanhou?" ”

Zhu Cihong has a headache, what should come will come after all, and it can't be delayed. He asked, "What does Wen Aiqing propose?" ”

Wen Tiren had already prepared the draft, and said calmly: "The minister proposes: Give the Marquis of Pingnan the title of governor of the capital, so that he can enter the court to discuss politics, and add respect to his general, and use the post of general to supervise the world's soldiers and horses!" ”

The hundred officials were a little restless when they heard this. Pingnanhou is already so strong, if he is still the governor of the world, then he still has to do it? If he goes to the court to participate in politics as the governor of the capital, wouldn't he cover the sky with one hand, and above the court, who would dare to say a word about his old man's opinion?

Several Kedao officials couldn't bear it and wanted to come out to oppose it - after all, it was one thing to watch Pingnanhou rectify the rivals, and it was another thing to let him control the government - but before he took the first step, he was grabbed by the sleeves of the people next to him.

"You want to make a head bird? Let's take a look at Yang Sichang's fate. If you are not afraid of being splashed with blood by the fire, just go! ”

Thinking of the scene where Yang Sichang, a military secretary, was pointed at his head with a short gun at the noon gate, and had no power to resist, several officials hesitated. After all, the emperor's court staff is not terrible, and the fire gun of Pingnanhou is the one who kills. It's okay to be a loyal minister, but you must first have a life. Thinking of this, several people quietly withdrew one foot that had stepped out.

Chen Xinjia saw all this in his eyes, and thought to himself, at the moment, the Marquis of Pingnan is unstoppable, whether it is the young son of heaven who has not dried up, or the unstoppable Kedao Yanguan, he can't suppress this oligarch with heavy troops, if he doesn't hold his thighs at this time, when will he stay?

After making up his mind, he came out again and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Pingnan expelled the rebellion, set things right, and restored my Ming Dynasty. The minister proposed, in addition to increasing the title of governor and supervising the soldiers and horses of the world with the general, he was also named the Duke of Pingguo, added the prince Taibao, and gave him the privilege of 'entering the court without trending, praising and worshipping without a name, and going to the palace with a sword'! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked, from the emperor to the ministers opened their mouths in disbelief, and even Wen Tiren and the others were quite surprised.

What an honor the Duke of Guo is, for hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, it has also been sealed by the founding fathers and the Battle of Jingyan, and it has basically not appeared after the Yongle Dynasty. This is put aside for the time being, "entering the court is not trending, praising and worshipping is not famous, and the sword is on the temple" is simply against the ethics of the monarch and the minister, how crazy do you have to be to make such a suggestion?

The so-called "entering the court does not trend, praise and worship is not famous, and the sword goes to the palace" was put forward in the Han Dynasty. At that time, in order to show respect for the emperor, the minister had to trot all the way when entering the Hajj, and "entering the court without tending" meant that he could walk slowly; "Praise without a name" means that when a courtier worships the emperor, the person who praises does not call him by name, but only calls him an official position; "Going to the palace with a sword" means that you can wear boots and a sword to go to the court to see the emperor, which is a very high honor for the minister. In fact, with the high concentration of imperial power, such a so-called honor has disappeared in the long river of history, how can the emperor who holds the power of life and death tolerate the existence of such a person? There are very few people who have such privileges in history, and the most familiar one is Cao Cao, the prime minister of the late Han Dynasty, who "coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes" tilt towards the government and the opposition.
