And for these.
Song Gongwen didn't care at all.
All he wanted was to do his best for the country.
As for the size of power, I don't deliberately pursue it.
However, if you want to do something, especially to make a country better, you must have power.
Just as he had discussed with Zhang Zhengming, he used Zhang Zhengming's reputation to pave the way for him and expand Song Gongwen's influence.
Now, this plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Song Gongwen is no longer the same as before.
Ignored by colleagues.
But he has truly become a very important figure.
Not only his cabinet colleagues, but also other officials in the court need to be treated seriously.
Especially after this incident, when the gentry went to the capital to stop the reform, they were caught by him in one fell swoop.
Song Gongwen's reputation became better and better, and the court officials also witnessed his iron-blooded tactics.
Everyone was in awe of him and did not dare to act rashly.
At the same time, the nobles were arrested.
This also means that the reforms implemented in Jiangnan will hardly be hindered.
The only thing that needs attention is whether Wang Shouyuan, the inspector of Liangjiang and a member of the die-hard aristocratic faction, will choose to take action during this process.
Although Wang Shouyuan's official position was not high, he was indeed the leader of the gentry and his power could be said to be very great.
If we continue to stop the reform at this time, it will still cause trouble for Song Gongwen.
But from the perspective of the court officials.
The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River suffered a heavy blow because of this trip to the capital.
No matter how much Wang Shouyuan objects now, it will be of no avail.
Once the reform was successfully implemented in the Jiangnan area.
It is only a matter of time before the land tax is implemented throughout the country.
As long as he succeeds, Song Gongwen will leave a significant mark in history.
The cabinet members present naturally admired him very much.
but.
To these, Song Gongwen only gave a brief response.
In his opinion, all his achievements were achieved with the help of His Majesty and his teacher, so he did not have the slightest respect for them in his heart.
On the contrary, he also felt that as his influence grew, he would have to do more in the future.
After all, with great power comes great responsibility. In Song Gongwen's heart, he only wanted to serve his country.
What he wanted was for the Great Wei to truly dominate the Eastern Continent!
Having great power only makes it easier to act.
But in his heart.
But I feel a little emotional.
I have indeed received a lot of respect.
But all this is based on the fact that the teacher is blamed.
The teacher used his posthumous reputation to pave the way for himself, so next, he must do better.
Soon, the other three cabinet ministers finished their compliments and returned to their seats to begin preparing for today's imperial meeting.
The past month had been uneventful. The issue of the Jiangnan gentry migrating to the capital had been resolved. The Grand Canal and Weizhidao projects were also proceeding smoothly, without any problems.
Therefore, they did not have many things to report, just those few things.
Of course, the coastal areas have been somewhat unstable recently.
Zhao Jiguang has already submitted a memorial.
I must report back to His Majesty and tell him how to handle this matter.
After all, the ones involved this time are not ordinary pirates, but the remnants of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
If one thing goes wrong, it will affect the entire political situation of Wei, so we cannot be careless.
"Are you all here?"
At this time, Wei Yunyi walked into the imperial study from the door, followed by Wang Jin who had just finished his rest.
Seeing this, everyone stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
"Okay, enough with the formalities, get up."
Wei Yunyi smiled and motioned for everyone to stand up.
Then walk to the main seat and sit down.
Then, as usual, each of them reported on some recent major events.
There was the war in the north, and the recently established Gaoyang Protectorate.
As for the rest, they are all trivial matters, nothing special.
But after talking about Gaoyang Protectorate.
Wei Yunyi remembered that his brother-in-law seemed to have not yet taken up his post.
After all, he had just won a great victory outside, so it was only right for him to stay in the capital and have more rest.
But now it was almost time, so he gave the order to let his brother-in-law take up the post immediately, so that he could out of sight and out of mind.
If the other party had not brought people to suddenly destroy Gao Yang, his luck would have been ruined long ago.
Have to wait until now.
The Grand Secretaries present naturally had no objection to this, as it had been decided long ago.
As for Song Gongwen, although he was reluctant to part with his son, he thought that Gaoyang Protectorate was just established and someone was really needed to take charge of the overall situation.
His son had no experience or talent in governing the local area, but there were a large number of officials accompanying him, so there would definitely be no problems.
Furthermore, the Gaoyang Kingdom was destroyed not long ago, so there must still be some resistance forces.
With my son around, I can also effectively suppress the rebellion.
At the same time, military training can also be carried out.
Lay some foundation for the subsequent military expedition to the grassland.
Soon, some small matters were resolved.
The Minister of War came out, took out a memorial, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter of reprimand from Zhao Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of Haizhou. It just arrived today, stating that remnants of the former imperial family have been causing trouble in the coastal areas."
"A large number of pirates have responded and have already occupied some islands. They could threaten our coastal residents at any time."
