Chapter 1291: Continuing the Past and Opening the Future (One Hundred and Eighty-One) Questions

After seeing each other for ten miles, they finally said goodbye. Amidst the falling snowflakes, the carriage carrying the Jiang family became increasingly blurry in the distant sight, and finally was completely submerged in the endless falling snow.

Gao Yuan stood in the road with his hands behind his hands, still standing like a sculpture, ignoring the falling snow that had already covered his body with a thick layer.

"Brother, go back. Mr. Jiang just went to the bank of Dayan Lake to recuperate and do his studies in peace. It's not difficult to see him." Ye Jing'er walked to Gao Yuan's side and reached out to gently brush the snowflakes off his body. , advised softly. Since the beginning of Fufeng, Jiang Jiaquan has been by Gao Yuan's side for more than ten years. Gao Yuan can achieve today's achievements because of Jiang Jiaquan's hard work. This lonely old man does not seek wealth, glory, or fame. The only thing he wanted was the academic philosophy he insisted on, and his noble conduct. Everyone in the Han Dynasty admired him with admiration.

"I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to meet each other in the future." Gao Yuan sighed softly: "Sir, he is already old. Dayan Lake is thousands of miles away from Jicheng. With his body, naturally he cannot travel long distances, and I I can't leave Jicheng and go there easily. I don't know if I can listen to the teacher's teachings in person again."

Thinking that Jiang Jiaquan was already over seventy this year, Ye Jing'er was also silent.

After standing for a long time, Gao Yuan shook off the snowflakes on his body and said, "Let's go. A hundred years of life are like the morning dew. Sir, you are walking gracefully, but I am a little worried. I think I just want to make the big man stronger and stronger, and let the big man become this Yu Nei." The most powerful country, even if it is thousands of miles away from you, is enough to make you happy. This is my victory, so why is it not his victory!"

Ning Xin smiled and said: "My husband has always said that without you, eldest brother, he would not have achieved what he has today. My husband once said that his philosophy. After these years of cooperation with eldest brother, it has already changed beyond recognition. Compared with his original The idea needs to be perfected, and it can be perfect many times over!”

"Times are advancing, ideas are also advancing, and academic concepts must naturally advance with the times. There is nothing to say. The key is the foundation." Gao Yuan smiled and got on his horse, "I came to this world. The luckiest thing is meeting It is a great blessing for me to have such a great talent like Mr. Jiang, who was buried in the sand and finally came under my command.”

"This also shows that the eldest brother is the destined talent!" Ye Jing'er laughed.

"Son of destiny!" Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that he had come to this world inexplicably and became another person. Maybe it was really destined by God.

He Lanyan was impatient and had already got on his horse and rushed to Gao Yuan. "Brother, go back quickly, otherwise you won't be able to watch the excitement! I don't know if the minister or minister will be questioned by the congressmen until he is sweating! It's really interesting to watch."

"Swallow!" Ye Jing'er glared at He Lanyan with dissatisfaction: "These ministers are all eldest brother's subordinates.

confidant. Why do you have such a bad taste that you have to watch their jokes? Don’t you know that their jokes are Big Brother’s jokes? "

He Lanyan raised her eyebrows. "Sister Jing'er, this may have been the case before, but I don't think so now. Even if they are laughed at, it is still a joke in the political hall. Where has the eldest brother ever cared about anything?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Jing'er couldn't help but fell silent. Since the official founding of the Han Dynasty, Ye Jing'er was overwhelmed by the reforms one after another. Ye Jing'er was not someone who didn't read history and didn't know anything. A woman, but because of this, she couldn't understand what Gao Yuan was doing.

In the harem, the only person she could discuss with was Ning Xin, and He Lanyan could never count on her. But the result of the discussion with Ning Xin made Ye Jing'er even more frightened. Everything Gao Yuan did was to reduce the royal power step by step and transfer the power that should have been controlled by the king to the political affairs hall. Parliament transfer. It can be said that in the current civil affairs of the Han Dynasty, Gao Yuan does not need to do anything at all, and everything can run in an orderly manner.

If there is anything Gao Yuan firmly holds in his hands, it is the army. However, in Ye Jing'er's view, Gao Yuan would do this because there are still foreign enemies watching and Qin and Chu have not yet been destroyed. Once these two powerful enemies are gone one day, he is afraid that even this last power will be lost. , Gao Yuan will also give up.

Brother, what on earth are you going to do? Could it be that he worked so hard to conquer the country, and finally gave away all the fruits?

She usually didn't want to ask, and she didn't dare to ask, but today, she thought it was an opportunity. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Gao Yuan.

"It's really nothing to see. The various ministries and offices in the central government are responsible for a lot of things. The country is so big and there are so many things. How can there be no problems and everything is perfect? ​​These congressmen are all looking at them with magnifying glasses. How can we not find any problem?"

"Magnifying glass? It's the thing that Wang Kang sent a few days ago. Didn't you give it to Mr. Jiang?" He Lanyan tilted her head and thought for a while, then giggled suddenly: "Brother said it quite vividly. When you read the newspaper, every small print becomes bigger. But brother, since you know that those congressmen are picky, why do you ignore them and let them embarrass the ministers? "

Gao Yuan smiled slightly: "Of course we can't control it, but we have to encourage them to do so. The ministers in various ministries and government offices are all powerful people in our hands. If they are not careful and walk on thin ice, once they make a mistake, it will be a big deal. , now these congressmen are staring at them and letting them understand that even a small mistake may be picked out by them, let alone a big problem. This is not to embarrass them, but to protect them. I don't want to one day. , these ministers will be taken to the court because of problems."

"So that's the case. It's really for their own good." After hearing this, He Lanyan nodded repeatedly.

"Brother, these congressmen should not embarrass these ministers too much this year. After all, what Mr. Jiang said before he left will also touch these congressmen?" Ning Xin said.

"It's possible!" Gao Yuan laughed.

"Brother, if this is the case, then we really have to leave quickly. I'm afraid that the election of the chief minister is about to begin. This is the first time in the world. To be honest, I also want to broaden my horizons. !" Ye Jing'er laughed.

"Well! According to the procedure, Jiang and Wu should give their campaign speeches first, and then enter the voting process. We should be able to catch up." Gao Yuan estimated the time.

The group of people walked slowly towards the parliament building.

"Brother, there is something I have always wanted to ask you." She reached out to brush away a few snowflakes in front of her eyes, and Ye Jing'er turned to look at Gao Yuan, who was walking alongside her.

"What's the matter?" Gao Yuan turned around and looked at Ye Jing'er.

"The chief assistant is the arm of the king. He conveys and executes the king's will. This is the most powerful weapon for the king to control the government. But now the eldest brother has given up this power to the parliament. Once the parliament chooses you, you will not What about the first assistant who is satisfied with it, or the first assistant who simply cannot understand your wishes or even refuses to implement them?" Ye Jing'er wanted to put it as tactfully as possible. "I'm very worried. If this continues, the power of the king will slowly fall away. Brother, have you forgotten what happened at the end of Yan? The king of Yan is in name only. The chief assistant, the Taiwei, and the imperial censor are in control of the court. As a result, one It was out of control and the country ended up being destroyed.”

Gao Yuan laughed, "Jing'er, I know what you are worried about. Think about it carefully, is everything we big men are doing now really the same as Yan Mo?"

"Of course it's different." Before Gao Yuan could answer, "Can the current chief minister cover the sky with one hand? What even Mr. Jiang has not done, do you think anyone else can do it in the future? What's more, with the current power Even if the Chief Minister wants to, he can't do it. There are hundreds of members in the Great Council. They come from all over the Han Dynasty and come from various industries. They represent the interests of different groups of people. Who has the ability to buy them all? "

"It's impossible to bribe." Ye Jing'er shook her head.

"Yes, it's impossible. In the past, the king chose his chief minister based on his own likes and dislikes. No matter how wise he was, there were times when he was confused. No matter how bright his eyes were, he couldn't see everything about a person. But hundreds of congressmen could It's different. When they look at the chief minister, they will examine him carefully from different angles. Just like what Yanzi said before, a small problem will be magnified by them, and everything about this person will be exposed. Under the sun, he will be judged over and over again. Therefore, although the future chief minister has the ability to govern the country, he will definitely be the most difficult official for us big men. "

"It is impossible for a chief minister to satisfy everyone. If there is such a person, then I, the king, should give up the throne." Gao Yuan laughed sincerely and patted Ye Jing'er's shoulder gently, "What do you think? What I am worried about is exactly what I want to solve. My Gao Dynasty and my Han Dynasty will never be like those dynasties in history. They were prosperous for a while, but like summer flowers, after the splendor, they died. , What I want is an immortal dynasty. Our descendants of the Gao family can sit on the throne forever."

"But I don't understand, is it possible to achieve this by chipping away at the king's power step by step?" Ye Jing'er said a little confused, what do you think, why do you feel that what Gao Yuan said and what he did are somewhat contrary to each other, but for the sake of Her long-standing trust in Gao Yuan forced her to think on the bright side.

"Just wait and see!" Gao Yuan said with a smile. "We have to hurry up. At this time, the voting has probably already started." Gao Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the tall figure of the parliament building in the distance. (To be continued...)
