Chapter 188 Cabinet, Supplementary List of Books

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu and saw that he trusted him so much, he felt a little moved. He was ashamed of his previous recklessness, bowed and respectfully said, "It's the Emperor."

Zhu Xu said to Cao Huachun next to him, "Take the fifth emperor to the room on the left and prepare paper and pen."

"Yes." Cao Huachun agreed and signaled to Zhu Youjian: "Your Highness, please."

Zhu Youjian bowed again and said, "I will leave."

Zhu Xu watched Zhu Youkai get out, then turned to Gu Bingqian, with a curl of his mouth and a smile. The old man is in his seventies and even made his grandson, who is over 40, recognize him as the son of Wei Zhongxian, who is about the same size. The strangeness is beyond the present.

Gu Bingqian was still thinking about how to contact the court officials and must "persuade" the emperor to limit the power of trusting the king. It is best to be a symbol and not give real power. Only in this way can the country be stable and the royal family be stable.

It can be seen that Zhu Xu was stunned at first, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Your Highness, King Xin, should move to the Tenth Prince's Mansion..."

Zhu Xu waved his hand to interrupt him, walked down the soft collapse, walked a few steps, and looked at him with a smile and said, "You are the chief minister of the cabinet, and all the edicts in the cabinet still need to be issued by the assistant minister. The fifth brother, I just wait for my current review, so don't worry."

But Gu Bingqian did not dare to relax a little and said, "Emperor, what official position should I arrange for, then Wang Wang?"

“No official title,”

Zhu Xu had already thought about it and said, "I believe in the king to assist in the government, and I can supervise all government affairs, and the cabinet is no exception."

Gu Bingqian was an old bureaucrat. He grasped the word "inspection" very well, and said with a slight joy. He understood it and said: "The old minister understands that in the future, the cabinet will ask His Highness the King to increase the bet votes and then send it to the Sili Superintendent."

Zhu Xu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Go, the recommendation of the court ministers is the responsibility of the cabinet. We will discuss it with King Xin and then take it to me."

"I obey the order."

Gu Bingqian knew that the new emperor did not want King Xin to take charge of everything, so he withdrew with confidence. At the same time, he made up his mind to fight for power with King Xin and never let King Xin become a big shot, which would threaten the foundation of the country.

After Gu Bingqian left, Zhu Xu stood there, paused and said, "Xiao Cao, the memorials sent to the Silijian in the future are not required to be criticized. All the memorials involved in government affairs and administration are sent to the room on the left, and the memorials involved in military affairs. The memorials sent to the right."

Cao Huachun's face changed slightly. His Highness Hui, no, is the emperor trying to deprive the right of the Silijian to criticize the royal family?

However, he was only a little shocked and did not question much. He bowed and said, "I obey the order."

After arranging these, Zhu Xu breathed a long sigh and said, "How long will it take to congratulate you?"

Liu Shimin stepped forward and said, "It's still half an hour to go back to the emperor."

"Let's go to Kunning Palace."

Zhu Xu raised his foot and walked outside. After more than half a night, Queen Zhang should have recovered.

Zhu Xu has a different identity now, and at a special critical moment. As soon as he left Wen Zhao Pavilion, both the guards and the pomp were amazing. More than a hundred people followed him, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

However, when he arrived at Kunning Palace, Zhu Xu still kept everyone outside the door and walked in with Cao Wenzhao Liu Shimin and Cao Bianjiao.

At this moment, there were already many people in the yard, led by the Ministry of Rites, and various yamen participated in the funeral.

Everyone saluted, and Zhu Xu waved his hand and walked into the room.

Queen Zhang looked haggard, holding Xiao Yongning, stood at the window, looking at the busy crowd in the yard, among which Zhu Youxiao's body was placed in the center.

Seeing Zhu Xu coming over, she smiled stiffly and said, "You... have met the emperor."

Zhu Xu hurriedly supported Queen Zhang who was about to bow, and felt heavy for a while. He could only say with a tongue: "Sister-in-law, be mourning and following the changes."

Queen Zhang smiled reluctantly and said, "Well, today is your first visit. Don't be rude, go and prepare, don't worry about me."

Zhu Xu looked at Queen Zhang's stiff smile, then looked at Xiao Yongning who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, eat something and sleep for a while, otherwise you will be more troublesome when Xiao Yongning wakes up."

Queen Zhang looked at the pink and tender little Yongning in her arms, pouting her mouth and sleeping soundly, and then she showed a little smile on her face.

Zhu Xu didn't know how to comfort her, so she stood with her for a while, and after Liu Shimin's repeated urging, she left Kunning Palace.

Although he was the first to enter, the etiquette process was extremely complicated. He had to go through all three halls of the outer court to declare the world, and then he could receive congratulations from the ministers in the Huangji Hall. It was almost equivalent to practicing the etiquette process of ascending the throne first.

Zhu Xu first arrived at Jianji Hall and changed into a dragon robe that was rushed to work.

Zhu Xu stood there, letting the palace maid eunuch tinker on him. A dragon robe was extremely complicated, and from the beginning to the end, a stick of incense might not be enough.

Zhu Youjian and Gu Bingqian were standing side by side not far in front of him, and Zhu Xu was watching the two of them and the memorials they wrote.

The above are all supplementary cabinet ministers and recommendations for additional officials from the six ministries and nine ministers. Zhu Youjian and Gu Bingqian do not seem to be favored, and there are several candidates in many positions, waiting for Zhu Xu to sign up.

Zhu Xu looked at the candidate one by one and thought to himself, "I'm afraid these two have not yet figured out my temper, so they all seem more reasonable. I'm afraid they won't be treated like this in the future."

The cabinet plans to add a list: Ye Xianggao, Han Du, Zhu Guozuo, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, and Li Guopu.

Six choose three.

The Ministry of Personnel recommended Zhou Yingqiu, the Ministry of Revenue is Li Qiyuan, the Ministry of Rites is Li Sicheng, the Ministry of War is Feng Jiahui, the Ministry of Justice is Xu Zhaokui, the Ministry of Works is magnificent, the Ministry of Works' Censorate, Yang Lian, and the Dali Temple Minister are recommended by Zhao Han.

These are almost the same in the exchange of interests and tend to be consistent.

Zhu Xu was very interesting. The top three ministers of the cabinet were all about to be reopened, and almost all the six ministers had to be replaced. The other nine ministers, six ministers and other ministers had to be announced on the day of ascending the throne to show the new dynasty.

This is not the result of the natural evolution of the Ming Dynasty. No one can stay in a position for too long unless the emperor insists too much.

Emperor Wanli was better and had extremely strict control over the court, but in the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, they almost always looked at the lights and never stopped.

Zhu Xu looked at the list and thought for a moment, and said, "The cabinet is empty first, and send someone to ask about the meaning of Mr. Ye and others. The Minister of Personnel decided that next Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War, will be temporarily short of other court discussions. By the way, the General Secretary of the General Office is still missing a senator, and the son of Yuan Keli is ordered to fill the gap."

Zhu Youjian and Gu Bingqian both knew that the Minister of Revenue Xinhuang wanted to give his uncle and Fu Changzong, but Fu Changzong's identity as a relative is too obvious, so I was afraid that the court would be sad. When the Ministry of War, the two of them felt thoughtful when they heard the name of "Yuan Keli".

Both of them secretly speculated that the new emperor was afraid that he would be kind to some people with these official positions, so he could not argue at this time, so he had to make plans after ascending the throne. After all, these were just privately drafted, and they would eventually go to court to express their consent to show justice. (To be continued.)
