All the ministers were stunned. Whether it was Gu Bingqian, Wang Xin, Yang Lian, Ye Xianggao, or Fu Changzong and others, they all felt that the emperor would not give up.

But Zhu Xu turned a little and agreed to King Xin's words.

Many people frowned and thought, but their faces soon became extremely ugly.

There are only two people left in the cabinet, one is Gu Bingqian and the other is Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong focused on military affairs and also took charge of the Ministry of War, so Gu Bingqian was actually the only one left in the cabinet! Gu Bingqian had agreed with Zhu Xu's proposal before, so although Zhu Xu agreed to Zhu Youjian's words, he still praised his wishes!

They were cheated!

The fierce ministers reacted, feeling that their chests were about to explode, and they were so painful that they could not breathe. Their faces were ashen and their eyes were open. But a mouth was blocked in their throats, and they could not say a rebuttal!

King Xin would soon be surprised and glanced at Gu Bingqian behind him with a displeasure expression.

Gu Bingqian was an old fox, and he woke up in an instant, bowed and nodded to Zhu Xu, looking like he was obedient.

Sun Chengzong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his lips.

Yang Lian frowned and felt very upset. He was the chief censor of the Censorate. It was the privilege of the censors of all dynasties. According to the report by King Xin, in the future, they were afraid that they would say whatever they wanted to say, and that anyone who wanted to impeach would be able to impeach.

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu looked at each other, and the two hugged the board and their faces were completely calmed down. They knew in their hearts that Zhu Xu no longer needed them to worry at all.

However, the ministers are not easy to meet. When they took a breath, the minister came forward and said loudly: "I have heard from the emperor that the cabinet ministers are now missing six and four, and the Minister of Revenue in the six ministries is missing. I suggest that I make up for the vacancies as soon as possible to serve the national affairs."

"I am discussing that state affairs are abolished because of incomplete cabinets. The Minister of Revenue is a key position, and the emperor decides to seize them as soon as possible."

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

The ministers held their anger in their hearts and stood up one after another, demanding a fill in the gap.

Since Zhang Juzheng, no one in the cabinet can have such power. Therefore, as long as the cabinet is complete, Gu Bingqian cannot make a decision. As long as Gu Bingqian cannot control the cabinet, the previous memorial of King Xin will be completely invalid.

All Zhu Xu's previous methods will be in vain!

The ministers who came to understand came forward to support one after another, but many people still chose Mingzhe to protect themselves this time. First, the cabinet election is of great importance and the competition is too fierce. After all, Ye Xianggao is there. Second, the Ministry of Revenue is Fu Changzong in charge, and it is obvious that no one will have the idea of ​​attacking the Minister of Revenue now.

King Xin frowned. He was very unhappy when the court officials targeted the emperor like this.

Gu Bingqian stood there, no longer being as proud and calm as before. No matter how he looked, he was always humble and flattering.

Sun Chengzong looked as usual. The three things he had done before were completed beyond expectations, and he was already very happy. However, he did not say or read as usual. He listened to the court officials and looked at the civil and military officials.

He was concerned about the little emperor who was still King Hui at that time, and had a certain understanding over the years. Especially during these two court discussions, he saw the new emperor's control over the overall situation and his long-term vision.

He was not worried about the current court discussion. In his opinion, the adults who were used to the court discussion methods of Emperor Aoki would not be the opponent of the new emperor with strange means.

Yang Lian is the most eager to fill the gaps in the cabinet, because most of the people who were forced out of the court by Wei Zhongxian were Donglin Party members. Each of them was loyal and promising, and had a great reputation. As long as they made a comeback, they would definitely be their "righteous people" and would be expected to win the important positions of the cabinet and six ministries!

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu remained motionless and stood there like wooden stakes. They knew Zhu Xu's idea. Zhu Xu wanted to centralize power and gather power in order to promote his national affairs, so naturally he would not expand the cabinet and disperse power.

Therefore, even if Zhu Xu has no means to suppress the court officials, he will eventually suppress it with power and will never allow the cabinet to expand again!

Unless it is Zhu Xu's person!

Zhu Xu listened to the adults and knew that this was their counterattack. He looked down at Tiao Chen on the table and looked at Tiao Chen calmly at Tiao Wenwang Zhu Youjian and said, "Brother Tiao Wang Wang, why doesn't there be this Tiao Chenli in Tiao Chen today?"

Zhu Youjian was stunned and went out and said, "Report to the emperor, I didn't discuss this matter today."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Then let's suppress this matter for the time being, and we will discuss the next one."

As soon as Zhu Xu finished speaking, Gu Bingqian shook his eyes in the direction behind him.

The Minister of Rites immediately stood up and said loudly, "Emperor, I impeach the eunuchs of Hangzhou and the mine supervision in charge of the province, bullying the local area and occupying fertile land, causing chaos in the people. I ask to dismiss the mine supervision!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people came out to have a special talk.

With few words, more and more ministers participated.

What surprised Zhu Xu was not that the topic was easily changed, but that the ministers had different attitudes towards the cancellation of the mining supervision. Some agreed, some opposed, and argued fiercely. In the end, even Yang Lian and King Xin were involved.

There are naturally sufficient reasons for opposing it, and there are also one reason for supporting it, which opens his eyes.

Zhu Xu vaguely understood as they listened to their argument. Most of the ministers wanted the emperor to withdraw the eunuchs in prison, but they were unwilling to give up the mine tax, because these mine taxes were to enter the palace. If they lost this part, they had to be moved from the treasury. This made most court officials unwilling to do so!

Zhu Xu is still unable to deal with these things for the time being, so he sent it over with a sentence of "I have a chance to discuss it again."

The established court discussion ended, and Zhu Xu had no time to continue fighting wits and courage with these people. He announced his retirement to the court and walked out of the Golden Palace.

As soon as he arrived at Wenzhao Pavilion, Cao Huachun came in and said, "Emperor Gu Pavilion is asking for a visit."

Zhu Xu held the teacup, took a sip with a smile, and then said to Cao Huachun: "Well, today's tea is good. Master Xuan Shoufu met."

"Yes." Cao Huachun also understood where Zhu Xu was happy, and turned around with a smile on his face.

Gu Bingqian walked in, looked at Zhu Xu who was on the soft collapse and picked up the note, knelt down with a thud, shouting, "I bow to the emperor, I will die!"

Zhu Xu didn't even look at it, and said lightly, "Are you saying that you are corruption and bribery?"

Gu Bingqian is an old fox. After today, he still doesn’t understand. This emperor is a wise man and he has a very clear understanding of the court and the country. He wants to use the means of deceived Zhu Youxiao to deal with it, it will not work!

He knelt there, trembling, his voice was old and sad, "I am guilty of forming cliques for personal gain, corruption and bribery, and there are too many illegal things."

Zhu Xu looked slightly surprised, turned to look at him and said, "Are you here to apologize?"

Gu Bingqian knelt down there, dared not move rashly, and said, "Yes, I deserve to die."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes. The old fox knew how to take the lead. He saw that he needed him in the cabinet, so he came to plead guilty.

At this moment, the adults who left the Golden Palace were feeling unprecedentedly depressed. There was always a feeling of discomfort in their hearts, unable to vomit and swallow, and extremely uncomfortable. (To be continued.)
