Chapter 241 The role of Zhu Youjian
Cao Huachun agreed and was about to send the order. Zhu Xu said without raising his head, "Let King Xin come to Wenzhao Pavilion."
"yes."
Cao Huachun bowed and slowly retreated.
There are too many cabinets close to Wen Zhao Pavilion. Before Ye Xianggao and others arrived, Zhu Youjian arrived.
Zhu Youjian entered the door and saw Zhu Xu holding the bun and slimming the sauce. While eating, he looked at the memorial. His nervous expression was slightly relaxed and he felt a little relieved. He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Greetings..."
Zhu Xu waved his hand and smiled and said, "The emperor brother doesn't have to be polite. We are not outsiders. Come and sit down. By the way, have you eaten early? Cao Huachun, prepare for the emperor brother..."
Zhu Youjian quickly interrupted, but did not really go to sit down. He bowed slightly and said, "No need for the emperor, I have eaten it."
Zhu Xu swallowed the buns with voracious swallows, turned around, wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, come here, bring a stool for the emperor brother, let's sit down and talk in detail."
Seeing that Zhu Xu had something to talk about, Zhu Youjian did not refuse. He owed his body and sat down opposite Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu wiped his mouth again, looked at Zhu Youjian's restrained expression, and smiled: "Don't be nervous, it's for my decree yesterday, right?"
Zhu Youjian's expression moved slightly, bowed, raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Xu, and said hesitantly: "I... don't quite understand the emperor's intention."
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, looking considerate.
Cao Huachun stood not far away, looking at his nose and his heart. With his understanding of Zhu Xu, he knew very well that Zhu Xu was going to dig a hole for King Xin.
Seeing that Zhu Xu was so cautious, Zhu Youjian's face became more and more nervous, and his eyes were staring at Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "The Fifth Emperor Brother should know that the emperor's will will be yourselves, but you did not make it clear. I have to leave you in the cabinet. However, if there is a chief minister in the cabinet, conflicts will inevitably occur. Now that Gu Bingqian has left, Sun Ge Lao is devoted to military affairs, which gives me a chance."
"A chance?" Zhu Youjian said in confusion.
Just as Zhu Xu was about to speak, Liu Shimin appeared at the door and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Ye and others have arrived."
Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Let them wait, I will talk to the emperor."
Liu Shimin agreed, turned around and walked a few steps, and said to Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing and the other four, "Several lords, the emperor is talking to King Xin later."
Ye Xianggao naturally had nothing to do and nodded with a smile.
Zhu Xu was interrupted by Liu Shimin and had to reorganize it again. Looking at Zhu Youjian, "Brother, your status of regents is unknown, and the law of the ancestors cannot be followed. Therefore, I decided to open a single room in Wenzhao Pavilion, and you will lead Ye Xianggao to assist in the government. All government affairs will be handled by you."
Zhu Youjian was stunned. Although what Zhu Xu said seemed to be very reasonable, he always felt very awkward and it was unreasonable after thinking about it.
He also knew that Zhu Xu's decision could not resist, so he carefully sorted out his thoughts and said, "Emperor, the cabinet is the most important yamen for all dynasties to assist in government affairs..."
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "I know all these. Can't the emperor brother see that I want to sort out government affairs? The Secretariat of the Cabinet published a Wang Wenyan, who dared to bribe the cabinet. Do you think Ye Xianggao really doesn't know? Or do you think I really don't know anything?"
Zhu Youjian was blocked by Zhu Xu, and he knew that the Donglin Party had a great momentum in order to save Xiong Tingbi, and no one in the court or the country knew. He knew who Wang Wenyan was very clear.
However, he still couldn't agree. Establishing a new cabinet seemed simple, but it was actually very complicated. The cabinet was the most critical key of the Ming Dynasty. It involved all aspects and could not be abolished in just one sentence.
Zhu Xu also understood and continued to fool him: "I have no intention of abolishing the cabinet and government affairs immediately. The emperor led Ye Xianggao and others to deal with it. When the right opportunity comes, he will abolish it before he can establish it."
Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, and said, "Master, this matter is of great importance. I believe that it should be discussed by the court..."
Zhu Xu smacked his lips secretly. Zhu Youjian became more and more difficult to fool him. He sat up straight, his face was dull, and his tone was a little stiff: "Brother, if the court can decide, I will not ask you to discuss it."
When Zhu Youjian saw Zhu Xu showing the emperor's aura, he couldn't help but get half short.
Zhu Xu stood up, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said to Zhu Youjian, "The emperor has been in the cabinet for more than half a year. I know what government affairs are like now. If I don't take action to sort them out, it will only become more corrupt and difficult to deal with. Time is too late."
This sentence hit Zhu Youjian's key points. He may not care about anything else, but when it comes to the "national foundation", he is three more nervous than Zhu Xu.
After struggling for a while, he stood up, looked at Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, I will go to see Grand Secretary Ye and others now."
Zhu Xu raised his mouth, and Zhu Youjian was smart and understood his intention so quickly.
Turning around, he said with a calm expression, "Well, Cao Huachun, you accompany the emperor and move the cabinet as it is, and the treatment is as good as the cabinet."
"Abide by the order."
Cao Huachun agreed and accompanied Zhu Youjian to turn outside.
After Zhu Youjian left, Zhu Xu's tense face suddenly let go, and he let out a deep breath, with a smile on his face. With Zhu Youjian's persuasion, even if these adults really see something, they have to agree.
Sure enough, half an hour later, in Wen Zhao Pavilion, and in the room on the far right, Ye Xianggao and others respectfully saluted Zhu Xu: "I pay homage to the emperor."
Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back and looked at Ye Xianggao and others in a very inflammatory voice and said, "Sir, this is the cabinet. Your work is exactly the same as that of the cabinet. You are my loyal ministers. All the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you. From then on, King Xin will be the chief minister of the cabinet. You are all auxiliary ministers, assisting me in organizing the Qing Dynasty and revitalizing the Ming Dynasty..."
Ye Xianggao and others were all old officials in the officialdom. Zhu Xu’s speech was not impressed. They all looked calm and bowed slightly.
Zhu Xu said for a while, and when he saw that no one responded, he felt a little embarrassed. However, he fooled the people and made some promises to leave after Zhu Xu was still feeling unfulfilled.
Zhu Xu returned to Wenzhao Pavilion, and not long after, Fu Changzong appeared in Wenzhao Pavilion.
Before noon, Fu Changzong looked tired and had white hair. He looked at Zhu Xu and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the local taxation and local taxation have rebounded significantly. The Ministry of Revenue has used many methods, but it is still difficult to work."
Zhu Xu drank tea and smiled and said, "No surprise, uncle, sit down and say."
Fu Changzong sat down as he said, "I haven't talked to Xinwang about customs, but I have tried it in Fu, Jian, Guang and Dong, and I have been boycotted by various places. Even if there is an order, the Jinyiwei secretly assisted it, but it has not achieved much success."
Zhu Xu nodded and thought, "Well, everyone has been placed, send it over and get the nails clean first."
