Ye Chunqiu said it with a nose and eyes, and almost no one doubted what Ye Chunqiu said was true or false.

Why?

Because this is too pediatric, after all, Mr. Li is here!

Ye Chunqiu is now confident that he said that Mr. Li had some new policy, which made him panic. He was like facing a great enemy, and this "misunderstanding" arises, so...

Mr. Li is here now and can expose him on the spot.

The more such a trick, the more it is, the more it is impossible to expose.

Li Dongyang wanted to laugh in his heart. Ye Chunqiu was too ridiculous. He kept saying something about the new policy, but he was the person involved and knew more about Ye Chunqiu's lies than anyone else. Of course he wanted to expose it, so he said: "Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty." But a voice interrupted Li Dongyang.

Ye Chunqiu seized the opportunity and was full of energy. At this point, Li Dongyang had no chance of winning against Ye Chunqiu.

Ye Chunqiu said with great sarcasm: "Mr. Li's new policy is here. I have been consulting with him for many days. Now, my brother has brought it."

Ye Chunqiu slowly took out a memorial from his sleeve and put it in his hand. He said in full view of everyone, "Today, while all the officials are here, I beg your Majesty to read it out in public, and ask your Majesty and the public to appreciate it."

Just say lies with your eyes open, but you dare to prove it? Li Dongyang really felt angry and ridiculous. He was about to speak again, but once again he took the lead...

Zhu Houzhao said with interest: "Read it and listen."

Ye Chunqiu had already opened the memorial and did not give Li Dongyang any chance. He said, "My brother and Mr. Li both believed that the students in the world understood the truth and took the world as their own responsibility. They were pillars of the court. My Ming Dynasty could have such a national fortune, which was due to the protection of the ancestors and ancestors. The superiors also relied on His Majesty's statement, and the subordinates were all because the students understood the truth and complied with the country, and actively served the country. Is anyone opposed this?"

Ye Chunqiu's eyes swept across everyone.

The profound meaning of this gaze is very simple. Don’t everyone please scholars? Okay, now I’m starting to brag again, you have to be ready.

As for Li Dongyang, he cannot expose Ye Chunqiu's lies for the time being. Now that he stands up, he is suspected of trying every means to stop Ye Chunqiu from giving out evidence, and it also seems that he does not agree with Ye Chunqiu. What does not agree with him mean?

Haven't you heard Ye Chunqiu's words just now praise scholars? Do you don't agree with Ye Chunqiu's words? Do you not take scholars seriously?

In this Ming Dynasty, as a minister, there was one thing that was very important, that was reputation, especially from the praise of Shilin. Because scholars had a great influence, especially after the Hongzhi Dynasty, this power grew unprecedentedly. There were even many officials who directly resigned because of the criticism of Shilin.

At this time, Ye Chunqiu continued: "So Mr. Li is far-sighted. Since this is the case, scholars are the cornerstone of my Ming Dynasty. With so many talents, why not use them? Mr. Li proposed that from the beginning of the new policy, the Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet will be determined by the student official."

This was like a big rock suddenly dropped onto the calm lake, and the whole palace suddenly became an uproar.

Publicly elected the First Auxiliary Grand Secretary?

Public recommendation by students?

Everyone looked at Li Dongyang in surprise, unable to help but become foolish.

In order to select a cabinet minister in history, of course, it is necessary to go through a procedure, which is the so-called court promotion.

What is a court tutor? It is a system that has been agreed upon since Emperor Yingzong. For senior officials of the third rank or above, officials will hold court meetings and discuss them, and finally select candidates and report them to the palace. If the emperor feels that the person reported is satisfied, he will make a circle. Once he is not satisfied, he will ask the officials to choose a new candidate.

So in a sense, this is why many court ministers can say nothing. Many people's promotion path is not in the hands of the emperor, but in the hands of those ministers above the third rank. Once you want to break through this ceiling and want to become a senior official, you must pass the court recommendation. If everyone is generally satisfied with you, it will be considered a success. However, once someone strongly opposes, even if the emperor trusts it, he may not be able to join the cabinet and become a minister.

Then suppose that the system of Tingtui is an electoral system within officials, and Ye Chunqiu directly expanded this electoral system to allow all scholars with fame to participate.

What's really amazing is that Ye Chunqiu is talking about the prime minister at the beginning of the new policy, which is based on the court's recommendation. What does this mean?

This means that if everyone feels satisfied with the new policy and starts to be implemented today, then I am very embarrassed. The cabinet chief has to be re-selected and do things according to the new rules.

Li Dongyang's face changed.

Isn’t he the chief minister of the cabinet? This position is his, so why do we need to publicly recommend it? This is not only an extra move, but also... it also adds countless variables.

Ye Chunqiu turned around and dug his own corner after cutting off his brother?

It's simply tolerant, no one can bear it.

Ye Chunqiu said with a smile: "I don't know what Duke Li's new policy thinks?"

All the officials were silent.

In fact, it is not a big deal between court recommendation and public recommendation, it is just a situation of selecting officials. However, the public recommendation is only the chief minister of the cabinet, and it seems that there is no influence on everyone.

Opinion?

Of course there are some.

But who dares to say it?

Think about it, those students are full and have to discuss state affairs when they have nothing to do. Today, they scold this and tomorrow, and their participation in politics is no less than that of the officials in the court today. Now, Ye Chunqiu proposed here to recommend the chief minister. What is this? This is the decision-making power of dozens of people closed and given to more than 100,000 students.

These students do not need any guesswork, and of course they are unlucky about it. After all, scholars, when they were still studying, they mostly liked to give guidance and enjoyed it. Now they are given the right to choose a prime minister, how could they not be happy?

In fact, the court has always given students many privileges, such as allowing them to be exempted from corvee, moderate tax exemption, and giving them the right to participate in local affairs.

But this does not mean that the students are willing to be satisfied. It would be fine if the matter mentioned by Ye Chunqiu is not mentioned. Now that he said it in front of the civil and military officials in the court, it is equivalent to opening Pandora's box and it is difficult to take it back.
