Chapter 739: 888: Geng Party, Cabinet Formation

Hearing this, Chen Mo frowned and said in a deep voice: "He is so stubborn that he refuses to let go even with the army approaching."

"What are you going to do?" Yue Ruyan was forced to sit on Chen Mo's lap, and she could only hug Chen Mo's neck with both hands and asked.

"I have sent the army, so there is no reason to withdraw. Since he is so unwilling to give up, we can only see blood."

A cold light flashed in Chen Mo's eyes. Although Yang Xian is Yang Qingqing's biological father, he has given him many chances. If he doesn't cherish them, then he can't blame him.

Yue Ruyan's eyes flickered, and suddenly she saw the plan on the desk. She picked it up curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Chen Mo gently pinched Yue Ruyan's chin, leaned over to her thin lips, and gently pinched them, saying, "I plan to abolish the Secretariat and the Prime Minister, set up a cabinet, and reduce my burden. Otherwise, I will be too busy every day, and I won't have time to practice with you, Ruyan."

The hand that was holding Yue Ruyan's waist stretched out from her military uniform, came into close contact with her skin, and gently stroked the beautiful mermaid line on her belly.

"Abolish the Prime Minister?"

Yue Ruyan was startled, then snorted softly, and a blush appeared on her light brown jade face, saying, "Geng Songfu made a big mistake?"

Chen Mo suddenly said that he wanted to abolish the Prime Minister. Yue Ruyan felt that this was not just a simple burden reduction, but thought of more. She felt that Geng Songfu must have made a big mistake, and Chen Mo wanted to remove him, so he proposed to build a "cabinet". Otherwise, the Prime Minister is the head of all officials, how can he be moved at will?

Chen Mo was stunned: "Ruyan, why do you think so?"

"Is it wrong for me to think so? You are not a minister now, but the monarch of Wei, a role model for the ministers. Your words and deeds may be just a small matter to you, but the people below will not think so. They will speculate your intentions and think that Geng Songfu has made a big mistake or has fallen out of favor in front of you, and then follow your actions to add insult to injury.

If you don't handle it well, it will make people in the court and the country panic." Yue Ruyan analyzed it for Chen Mo. She knew it well after many years of ruling Longyou.

Chen Mo's expression was slightly condensed. He did think a little too simply. Fortunately, Ruyan reminded him that the formation of the cabinet should be handled with caution.

"It's just right, Ruyan, please help me refer to it and see if there is anything that needs to be improved. In addition, please help me think about the first batch of members of the cabinet."

Chen Mo took his hand out of his military uniform and patted Yue Ruyan's millstone.

Yue Ruyan was stunned at first, but after meeting Chen Mo's eyes, she understood what he meant. After giving him a light glance, she stood up and lay on the desk, her hips full of sports energy raised high, and opened the plan to read.

Chen Mo hugged her from behind, put his hands around her belly, asked her opinion, and even the desk was involved.

...

Five days later.

A big earthquake occurred in the court.

His Majesty announced the abolition of the Secretariat and the Prime Minister at the morning court and the establishment of a cabinet.

There were only five members in the first batch of cabinets. Geng Songfu was appointed as the cabinet minister, and Sun Cheng, the last imperial examination champion, was also included.

Then Diwu Fusheng, Chen Jin, and Liu Ji.

As soon as this news came out, the whole Tianchuan City was in an uproar, and many scholars talked about it.

Your Majesty said at the morning court that the cabinet ministers' preparatory work would start from then on. However, at that time, those who entered the cabinet were all officials of compilation, inspection, and lectures. They were not allowed to appoint officials and were not allowed to monopolize the various departments. The various departments were not allowed to report on their affairs.

In other words, the cabinet established by Your Majesty was not a power institution, but a "personal secretary" around Your Majesty.

Sun Cheng, Liu Ji, Chen Jin, and even the Fifth Fusheng, they were easy to say, because their original power was not heavy.

But Geng Songfu, that was the prime minister, the head of all officials, the holder of great power, overnight became a cabinet minister. In the eyes of outsiders, isn't this just the number one follower without power around Your Majesty?

For this reason, it also caused an uproar, and many students and officials in Beijing had floating minds.

The so-called court has no factions, and there are all kinds of strange things.

After Geng Songfu was promoted to prime minister, a large number of officials chose to follow Geng Songfu and became the so-called "Geng Party".

And in a short period of time, it continued to grow.

Of course, this was not what Geng Renfu intended, but what others "believed."

For example, there was a scholar from Gaozhou who passed the imperial examination last time. He happened to be an official in the capital. This person was indeed capable and won Geng Songfu's praise with his real talent and hard work, so Geng Songfu recommended him at a court meeting.

Although after that, the scholar from Gaozhou did not choose to completely curry favor with Geng Songfu, and Geng Songfu did not try to win him over in order to avoid suspicion.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the scholar from Gaozhou was Geng Songfu's man.

In addition to the "Geng Party", there is also the so-called "Left Party", which is the power attached to Zuo Lianglun, as well as the "Jiangdong Party" and the "Jiangnan Party".

Among them, the "Jiangdong Party" is even larger than the "Geng Party", headed by Wu Yanqing and Wu Changlin.

Therefore, the abolition of the prime minister was also considered the fall of the "Geng Party" in the eyes of some officials and scholars.

And as a member of the "Geng Party", people will naturally speak up for Geng Songfu.

They thought Geng Songfu was loyal to His Majesty, but he was treated so unfairly.

There were even some words of rebellion.

What about "when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked" and "when the birds are gone, the merits are hidden."

They said His Majesty was going to start killing meritorious officials.

At this moment, outside the Geng Mansion east of Tianchuan City, there were many people. They all considered themselves members of the "Geng Party" and wanted to see Geng Songfu to discuss countermeasures.

But after Geng Songfu came back from the palace, he began to close the door and refused to see anyone.

In the study, Geng Songfu did not care about the outside world's "bad" voices about him, but was conscientiously dealing with the current matters at hand.

He was in a very calm mood. His Majesty had discussed today's matter with him a few days ago and had a long talk with him all night.

Later, all the memorials of all sizes across the country, and even the suggestions made by the people to His Majesty, were summarized by the Tongzhengshisi, and the Silijian reported to His Majesty for review, and then handed over to the Cabinet. The Cabinet was responsible for drafting the handling opinions, and then the Silijian reported the opinions to His Majesty for approval, and finally issued by the six ministries.

This move not only increased the responsibilities of the cabinet, but also improved the government affairs process.

Geng Songfu admired this system of the cabinet very much.

"Master." Just then, a gentle female voice came from outside the study.

"Come in." Geng Songfu said without raising his head.

As the door of the study opened, a fragrant breeze floated in before anyone appeared. Geng Songfu looked up and saw a beautiful woman holding a tray and walked in.

"Master, I made your favorite Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup for you. Come and try it while it's hot." The beautiful woman put the tray on the desk, then picked up the jade bowl on the tray, scooped up a spoonful of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, blew a little, and fed it to Geng Songfu's mouth.

"Nanhua, just leave it there. I will drink it when I have time. If you have anything to say, just tell me." Geng Songfu stopped what he was doing, raised his white-haired head, and tilted his head to look at the beautiful woman.

Chen Mo saw that Geng Songfu was old and still alone, and even had no one to see him off. In order to prevent Geng Songfu from dying alone, Chen Mo rewarded him with a beauty.

The beautiful woman was the beauty that Chen Mo rewarded him.

Of course, when Chen Mo rewarded her to him, the beautiful woman was still a virgin "old girl", and it was Geng Songfu who made her a woman.

Geng Songfu touched her at that time, partly to comfort Chen Mo.

The beautiful woman Nanhua walked behind Geng Songfu and gently pressed his shoulders. After her expression changed slightly, she said, "Master, there are so many officials outside the palace waiting to see you, Master, don't you see any of them?"

"What's there to see? They want me to come up with a solution, but they don't know that I knew about what His Majesty proposed at the court meeting today, and I agreed to it a few days ago." Geng Songfu said.

Nanhua was startled, and after hesitating for a moment, she tentatively said, "Now the capital is saying that you are about to fall. Of course, I know that these are all rumors. His Majesty values ​​you so much, how could he do such a thing as killing the donkey after it has done its work.

But I also feel that if this rumor is allowed to spread, the false will become true, which is not good for you. Otherwise, you should meet them and let them feel at ease. After all, they are your people. Even if you are not the prime minister in the future, you can still use them in the cabinet. But if you don't meet them like this, they will disperse."

Geng Songfu's eyes condensed when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Nanhua and said, "This is not something you can say."

Nanhua's expression changed, and even the action of pinching his shoulders paused.

"Look, you can't even calm down." Geng Songfu said, "Your brother taught you."

Nanhua looked even more panicked.

"Before, it was rumored in the court that I had a Geng party, but I didn't care. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I be afraid of ghosts knocking on my door? Now it seems that your brother is probably fanning the flames and organizing it?" Geng Songfu looked into Nanhua's eyes, as if he could see through her.

Nanhua was silent and bit her lip, but from the trembling of her delicate body, Geng Songfu should be right.

But Geng Songfu didn't get angry, but instead heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank Your Majesty. If this continues, this so-called Geng party will harm you and me sooner or later."

PS: Let me roughly talk about the subsequent plot. The matter of Shufu can be resolved in about one or two chapters, and it's still the kind of thing that can be said in a few words. Then it's Jinxia. This chapter won't be too long, it's the kind of crushing. Then it's through the Nangong family that the fairy island is brought up, and the matter of the fairy queen is brought up. The orange cat already has an idea in his mind and will try to write something new.

In addition, the orange cat is still considering whether to write about some women who died of old age or illness, so that he would have fewer concerns and then go to the map behind the fairies.
