Chapter 843 Lion and Tiger Party Dispute: The choice of the new era is very famous for the two streets close to Longmen Wharf, Longxu Street is a futures market, like Nanjing Huangpu Yutou Street, where there are big shopkeepers who come and go, and Longzhu Street is a street of food, from luxury restaurants with a thousand dollars to street food with three or five cents, everything is available. Wealthy families, ordinary people, and even hard-working poor people are crowded on this street, fully interpreting the style of a foodie empire.

In an inconspicuous restaurant at the end of Longclaw Street, a table of five blue-clothed teenagers shrunk in the corner, and two tables nearby were also occupied by strong men, faintly separated from the hustle and bustle outside.

"Temple...... Kezai, you lost, Xue Xiang neither pulled the lion party nor the tiger party. ”

It was Zheng Mingxiang who spoke, and the object was naturally the eldest prince Li Kezai. Ning Sui was overhauled this decade, and they took advantage of their leisure to continue to implement the plan of "eating in Longmen".

Li Kezai put down the newspaper, threw a roll of banknotes towards Zheng Mingxiang, and said hatefully: "I really underestimated Xue Shengbai's cunning, and thought that he wanted to stabilize his financial power first, so he switched to industry and commerce." ”

An Pingyuan shook his head and said: "I think he still adheres to the position of the Tiger Party, but in order to stabilize the platform that has just been erected, he will first stir up the two houses together." ”

Liu Zhi was very emotional: "The two courts and the political hall are packed in a frame, and this Xue Xiang's wrist is revealed at once, and he really deserves to be the descendant disciple of Duan Guoshi and the same disciple of His Majesty." ”

He Yingfu had other feelings, shook his head and said: "The prime minister can also take care of military affairs now, this is not a good phenomenon, literati always look down on martial artists......"

The New Year is approaching, Xue Xue has been the prime minister for the tenth day, when the government and the opposition are looking forward to it, waiting for him to deal with the previous chaos, but he published the "Establishment of the Two Courts" four days ago, asking the two courts to be restructured, quite the charm of the emperor's previous sword, the whole country was stunned.

Xue Xue believes that there are many problems in the setting of the east and west courts, which is not enough to embody the people. To convey the people's feelings, he made three suggestions.

The first is to expand the scale of the Western Courtyard, with five members of the Western Courtyard elected from the two capitals and each province, and three from each province under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Protectorate and the Dadu Protectorate. There are a number of trusteeships in Nanyang, and the size of the West Courtyard will be expanded to 130 people. At the same time, the association between the Federation of Industry and Commerce and the West Court will be cancelled to lower the threshold for selection.

The second is to change the election method of the Eastern Academy, which used to be determined by the number of people in the population, but now it is changed to the number of people selected to determine the number of members, and the selection of the East and West Houses is combined. In the past, those who had the qualifications to elect candidates for both houses of parliament could only elect one side. Now both parties are fine.

The third point is to establish that the court members of the provincial and state courts enjoy the same right to raise people's merits, and no conviction can be made without the two courts removing the status of court members.

Xue Xue's new official took office, and the three fires did not burn the Hexi case and Wang Shishen's case, which were boiling with public opinion, but turned around and burned the two courts that sent him to the prime minister's position. Complete the last step of the emperor's opening up of the two courts and the government.

Ordinary people can't see such a depth, and they all think that Xue Xue was sent by the two houses at least nominally, so he should be respectful to the two courts. How dare you turn the head of the gun and stab at the two houses?

The reaction of the two houses was unexpected, and they actually supported this proposal, and the next day they seconded it, and hurriedly submitted it to the Imperial Minister, hoping that the emperor would name the revised system "Imperial British Political Constitution" and incorporate it into the "Imperial British General Constitution".

After careful consideration, it is natural for the two houses to agree to the restructuring. The third article is Xue Xue's remuneration to the two courts, not only admitting that in legal theory, the two courts are one level higher than the government, but also agreeing on the actual identity. The courts are equal.

The first and second articles of the proposal are to help the two courts solve their own problems, the West Court is now small in scale, and the selection of people are all circled by the Federation of Industry and Commerce, the provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce has become a hall, in name only, and the composition of the West Court is also very rigid. Lack of fresh blood and flow.

The Eastern Court is based on the population, and then finds people to elect, which makes Lingnan and the core provinces of Jiangnan suffer a lot. Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang have many more candidates than other provinces, but the number of apportionable hospital members is about the same as that of Huguang. Huguang may be 1,000 people to elect a court member, while Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are 10,000 people to elect a court member, which is obviously unfair, and has also produced a complicated phenomenon of selecting people and impersonating people.

…,

These problems cannot be solved by the two chambers themselves, but the two chambers will contain each other when they put forward proposals on their own restructuring. The Western Court is not happy to see the Eastern Court straighten out the selection relationship, and the Eastern Court also hopes to limit the Western Court to the category of "a small group of industrial and commercial elements". Now that the system is being reformed by the prime minister approved by the two houses, everyone has nothing to say.

As for Xue Xueti's intention to reform the system, it is nothing more than to get rid of the status of servants of the two courts and turn into a collaborator and reconciler. In addition, he can also use the restructuring to break the old pattern of the two houses, so that he can build a party.

Overall, Xue Xue's fire was a deal with the two courts, and everyone was win-win, and the emperor's plan to use the prime minister to open up the two courts and the court was also successfully realized.

Li Kezai's classmates have different feelings, but their evaluation of Xue Xue is the same, he has great wisdom and creative ability, and he is not unreasonable in the emperor's slackness.

As soon as Emperor Jia Xue Xue fiddled with it like this, the pattern of Yinghua national politics was a little complicated, not only Li Kezai and others were hotly discussed, but the tables and tables in the restaurant were all talking, originally everyone in China cared about national politics, and everyone had opinions, not to mention in this turbulent world of Ding Revolution.

Across the two tables on Li Kezai's side, the conversation between the three old and the young at one table was quite interesting, which made Li Kezai prick up his ears.

The three elders were merchants, low-ranking officials, and government officials, and the youngest was the son of a merchant, who was fifteen or sixteen years old.

The merchant asked: "I don't want Da Lang to work hard for money anymore, I hope he can take the Qingyun Road, but now in this world, which road is the road?" He is going to take the college entrance examination next year, and he doesn't know which subject to change to. ”

The official said without hesitation: "Da Lang should go to the Ming Sutra and the Polytechnic Discipline, many of the masters of the Eastern Academy are from these two subjects, this is a scholar, with a high reputation, and everyone admires it." From the knowledge to gain fame, and then to spread the voice of the people, from the county government affairs began to experience, and finally entered the national hospital. Brother should be able to understand that now the prime minister has the final say in the two courts, and the affairs of the court are much more noble than our officials. ”

The government minister let out a long sigh: "Where is the honor?" The skin is shiny, and the inside is full of tears and sweat. You can't use anything you learn, you have to do real things to get famous. Running and breaking legs every day and talking about rotten mouths is not something that ordinary people can bear. Did the blind man see it? You have to be as ruthless to yourself as he is, so that you won't fall behind in the re-election. If you don't make up one or two things that the big newspapers care about, you won't have your share in the next term. ”

"Nowadays, scholars are not popular, and they can compete for the office of the academy if they are a concubine...... Everyone sees real benefits, and if you can help fight for profits, everyone will like you, which is not a long-term business. It's better to be an official. Sit steadily in the yamen, stay up for a few years, and have a few more years of posting. You can also mix a lord. I think it's safe to get into the science department. ”

The merchant said: "I thought the same way, after all, it is better to be an official." ”

The court took the case: "Yes, the official master is at the top, and there is a prime minister waiting, our British prime minister is not ordinary, it is genuine." What is a hospital? The court affairs can determine who the prime minister is, but the prime minister can also rub the court affairs round and flatten. You see that Xue Xiang rectified the two courts when he came to power, didn't the two courts suffer silently? ”

The official sneered: "That's Xue Xiang's good job, everyone listens to him, but Xue Xiang is not a man of his word." I'm afraid you don't know, there was a clause in Xue Xiang's proposal that the court should not talk to the newspaper in his personal name, but he was slapped back by the two courts. Xue Xiang didn't obediently delete this article. ”

The official then turned to the businessman: "In this world, if you don't have any big thoughts, it's good to be an official." But I think Da Lang has the ability. If you have a heart, you should go to the people! The title of the official master is now a humble person, even if the eldest man only inherits the family business, he is more productive than the official master, I see, the Ming arithmetic department is not bad. ”

When the two quarreled like this, the merchant had no idea, so he muttered: "Except for the master of the courtyard and the master of the official, who is a master?" ”

…,

The officials and the court officials argued, and one said that he would simply go to the law department. When he comes out, he is a judge or a lawyer, and the judge is much more majestic than the average official, and it is not bad to be a lawyer. One said that he could consider the General Affairs Department and deal with foreigners, not only to make money. It also gets its name.

The young man listened to it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it: "I want to go to military school!" The army and navy are all good! ”

The court and officials sighed at the same time, the court said that it was too dangerous, and in the previous Ceylon naval battle, the Western fleet suffered a small setback, and thousands of people died. Now the army and navy are all fighting, and they are constantly fighting every year, and joining the army is to hurt the hearts of their families.

Officials said that it is not bad to be in the army, you can transfer to the local government after retirement, and the local government also likes veterans, but after all, the variables in the army are too great, who knows where you will be thrown, maybe you will be sent to Dongzhou and Nanzhou, and you will not be able to return home for a few years.

The young man said proudly: "It is the season when my Chinese boy has made contributions, why do you still care about this?" ”

The merchant finally couldn't help but sigh: "Nonsense! Martial artists have been inferior since ancient times, are you deliberately practicing yourself? ”

When Li Kezai heard this, his ears twitched, his face turned angry, and he was thinking about how to train this businessman, but he heard someone on the other side snort angrily: "Martial artists are inferior? How about you go out into the street and shout, this man? ”

Turning his head to look, it was a red-clothed shirt, Li Kezai smiled slightly, waved his hand to stop the classmate who was about to speak, there were army comrades, and there was no need for the navy to come forward.

Before the merchant could respond, Hongyi continued: "The prince is also a martial artist, and he has to go to military studies and serve in the army. ”

There are a lot of soldiers in Longmen, and on the other table, there is a gray-clothed volunteer who patted the case and said: "Well said! Don't treat us warriors as the horsemen of the ancients, we are the scholars of the ancestors! Warrior! I have to ask, astronomy and geography, whether it is Jinshi or Mingfa, official or academy master, I am afraid that we don't know as much as we do! ”

A class of guests responded, the Dudao martial artist in Yinghua is a respected person, seeing that the businessman's words have become the target of the public, the same table of the court and the officials hurriedly started a round, the court to help apologize, the officials set almost, the businessman and then cheekily invited everyone in the restaurant a glass of wine, which made the atmosphere of the restaurant from cold to hot.

With the support of outsiders, the young man ignored his father's black face and asked the red shirt: "Which military school does the general think is good?" ”

Hongyi haha: "I'll just say the army, infantry, artillery, cavalry, and staff officers, each category can be divided, you have to think about what kind of martial artist you want to be, and then choose military studies." ”

The young man said dejectedly: "Do you still want to choose?" ”

Out of the restaurant, Li Kezai and the others laughed and talked about what had just happened, and sighed because the young man was at a loss in the face of a lot of choices. Too many choices are also painful, in comparison, Li Kezai feels that he is actually quite lucky, although his father pressed down the mission, although he has no choice, he is happy to bear it.

Outside the restaurant, you can occasionally hear a restaurant trying gongs and drums, and in a silk village next to it, the girls of huā branches are coming in and out......

"Ah, there's a new Shu embroidery!"

"There are too many, my eyes are picky, what should I choose!"

The girl's distressed voice came from the silk village, and Li Kezai also frowned, what gift should she choose?
