Zhu Xu had just returned to the imperial study room and had not yet had a sip of tea when Bi Ziyan arrived.

"Emperor, I have a few ideas and want to ask the emperor to take a look." Bi Ziyan held the memorial in his hand.

Zhu Xu quickly waved his hand to signal Liu Shimin to take it, and said, "Turn another chair for Master Bi."

Bi Ziyan quickly thanked him and sat down slowly on the chair.

Zhu Xu took over the memorial, and there were three in total. He opened it and watched slowly.

The first book is about several personnel appointments, namely Zhang Bingwen, Lu Xiangsheng and others. Zhu Xu thought about it and didn't speak up.

In the second book, Bi Ziyan hopes that the cabinet can supervise the appointment, assessment, and promotion of officials, and also have the right to verify and change the money and food in and out of the Ministry of Revenue, expenses, etc.

In the third book, Bi Ziyan plans to sort out the finances in all aspects next year, and to reduce expenditures when the source cannot be opened, block the deficit of the national treasury, so that the court has the spare time to deal with other emergencies.

After reading it, Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and looked thoughtful.

These three melody books were obviously written very early, and the handwriting was done long ago. The three melody books were written by Bi Ziyan carefully thought about it.

If outsiders see it, they will indeed think that this is an extremely reasonable policy to plan the country.

However, Zhu Xu needs to consider that he is planning to make large-scale adjustments to the North Korea Bureau. Bi Ziyan's all these are disrupting his plan. But before the plan is completed, Zhu Xu cannot say too much to Bi Ziyan and he will inevitably object!

Zhu Xu pondered for a while and decided to reveal something to Bi Ziyan. Otherwise, there would be trouble again. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Sir Bi, I plan to adjust the bureau. This time it will be bigger. The main purpose is to centralize power, weaken the six ministries, and strengthen the power of the cabinet. A strong cabinet will greatly promote the pace of the 'new policy'."

Bi Ziyan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty's words are serious?"

It was not that he was rash, but that he had been worried before coming, worried that the emperor would think his hands were too long and inserted into his territory.

Zhu Xu didn't care and thought, "Since I've said it, I'll tell you what I think."

Bi Ziyan was still shocked and raised his hand and said, "Prince, please tell me."

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers a little slower and said, "I plan to transfer all the six ministers slowly. This is the reason why they will not enter the cabinet. Otherwise, it will be meaningless to change or not. So don't move on the personnel matters first, I will discuss with Master Bi when the time is right. For the treasury, I plan to reduce the expenses. The project has been going on for many years. It is necessary to stop temporarily, plan well, and digest it. Immigration cannot stop, but as long as the control in Liaodong is properly controlled, it should

It is enough to be self-sufficient. Annan has invested in the early stage, and it cannot be less or less. Another part is the army. Now, there is basically nothing wrong with the four borders, except for Shaanxi, Xi, Gansu and Su. The local Governor's Office has been built almost the same. With them, ordinary civil unrest cannot become a climate. So before that, I have ordered the Ministry of War to discuss disarmament. The current army of our Ming Dynasty is nearly four million, and it is not advisable to raise so many in the current situation..."

Bi Ziyan felt unsatisfied when he listened to Zhu Xu's words, and felt particularly ashamed of the worries he had before him.

‘Yes, the emperor in front of him is wise and powerful, how could he have such a narrow mind? I thought he was well-versed in everything, but I didn’t want to be in front of him, but I was still confused…’

Bi Ziyan blamed himself in his heart, bowed and did not dare to move at all.

Zhu Xu said a lot, but there are still many hidden things, so I can only do it first and then talk about it.

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, Bi Ziyan realized that the emperor had long thought about the court. He felt more and more guilty, and raised his hand and said, "I am ashamed."

Zhu Xu was stunned, not knowing where he came out of this sentence, waved his hand and said, "By the way, this year's court discussion will be held, divided into two groups. The first wave is a military meeting. Well, I will ask Mr. Sun to ask for the government affairs meeting. The government affairs meeting is the same. The governor, governor, and prefect of the governor of each province, have three people. You set the time and send someone to the magistrate. This meeting consists of two purposes: the first is for each province to report the progress of the "new policy" and the second is to formulate the court's plan. I consider that such a meeting is set once every three years, and the whole country will work together..."

Bi Ziyan's eyes lit up as he heard this and said, "The emperor's intention is great, I agree."

Zhu Xu glanced at Bi Ziyan, hesitated, and said: "For such a meeting, I plan to let these people vote for unnamed trust in the cabinet and the six ministers of the ministries. There is no other intention. I just want to see what these rank-level officials think of the court ministers."

If Zhu Xu hadn't said 'No other meaning', Bi Ziyan might believe that he had been with Zhu Xu for a long time, and obviously realized that there was something in his words and other intentions. However, this was indeed an intuitive examination of the ability of the court ministers. He raised his hand and said, "I have no objection."

Zhu Xu nodded and simply told the story about the prime ministers of the six provinces, but he didn't say the candidates.

Bi Ziyan also agreed with this. The six provinces in Shaanxi and Xi are indeed a big trouble. They cannot always wait for the imperial court's will. It is best for those who have trust to deal with it there. However, you can probably guess the candidate Bi Ziyan, but there are only a few people.

Seeing this, Bi Ziyan didn't hide anything and told him all the way.

Bi Ziyan's plan is generally very simple. He wants to further sort out the government affairs relationship, promote the "new policy" and reform the old and the shortcomings in the process. To sum up, it is very simple, but it involves complex power operations. Without sufficient power and Zhu Xu's support, it is impossible to do it.

Zhu Xu kept nodding as he heard this. This was not in conflict with his "New Deal", or it was just for the "New Deal".

While listening, he looked at Bi Ziyan. Whatever the old man said, he had passion and ability, and he could trust and entrust great responsibilities.

It took two hours to go out of the imperial study room with satisfaction.

He received Zhu Xu's support here and roughly understood his thoughts. The concerns and burdens he had in his heart had long disappeared.

Bi Ziyan left the inner court and stood in front of the Huiji gate who went to the cabinet. He looked up at the sky, with a bright light in his eyes!

‘It is not for yourself to take the world on your shoulders. The Holy Lord is in the hall to help all the people!’

Bi Ziyan's surging fire that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart was burning. He wanted to take the world as his mission to revive the Ming Dynasty!

Zheng Youyuan happened to come out of the cabinet. Looking at Bi Ziyan's expression, his eyes changed slightly, and he hurried over and whispered, "Sir, but is the emperor embarrassed with you?"

Bi Ziyan calmed down his mood and suppressed his excitement, saying, "No, I will summon the six ministers of the Ministry tomorrow. I will determine the power and duties of the cabinet and the six ministries!"

Zheng Youyuan was shocked again. These have been customized for a long time. The court had already announced the world in the discussion of the court a few years ago, but the actual situation is another matter. The six ministers of the ministers were supported by the emperor and controlled the six ministers. The cabinet actually had no power. Bi Ziyan now needs to "sort" again, which is clearly to "grab power"!

The power of the six ministries is to steal the power of the emperor!

Zheng Youyuan hurriedly stopped Bi Ziyan who was about to leave with his legs raised, and said repeatedly: "Sir, be careful! It is a big deal to move the six divisions. You must not touch this matter. It is the emperor who will do it!"

Bi Ziyan pushed his hand away and said with a smile, "I am not trying to seize power, but just making some preparations for the emperor in advance."

Zheng Youyuan was stunned at first, then his eyes widened and said, "Sir, do you mean... the emperor allows you to intervene in the six divisions?"

If this is the case, it means that the emperor gave up power to the cabinet and was cutting off his own power!

How is this possible? With the current emperor's character, it is impossible for him to give up power, and he will not allow a powerful cabinet to constrain him!

But Bi Ziyan had already left without explaining it to him, and strided towards the cabinet. He had a lot of things to do and many plans to do!

Many things have to be pushed back and planned again! Knowing Zhu Xu's intentions and with the support of the emperor, Bi Ziyan can do more things with confidence and boldness!

Zhu Xu sent Bi Ziyan away, changed into a cup of hot tea, sat on a chair, and quietly looked outside the door.

Now is the time for him to start reform, starting from the cabinet and the six ministries, he wants to further centralize power!

Zhu Xu took a few sips of tea to calm himself down. After a while, he said, "When will Xiong Wencan arrive in Beijing?"

Liu Shimin turned sideways and said, "Mr. Xiong has been on the road for a long time, and should have arrived in Beijing in the past or two days."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "I inform Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Mao Wenlong, and come to see me immediately when Xiong Wencan arrives."

The foundation of government centralization is absolute military power, and he must further restrain the control of the army!
Chapter completed!
