cabinet.

Sun Chuanting walked into Bi Ziyan's class room with a bunch of memoirs, shook his head and said, "It's all similar memoirs, and requires the ban on artillery and burning the drawings."

Bi Ziyan looked up and took a look, put down the pen in his hand, and said directly, "Let's go."

The so-called "Yi Li" is the procedure of submitting the book to the cabinet and stating the ritual supervision.

Sun Chuanting said: "Then our cabinet?" The cabinet has various solutions to these memorials such as "impeachment" and "advice", including approval, retention, transfer, and so on.

Bi Ziyan said, "Stay all in Zhongshu, and we will talk about it when we finish handling the matter at hand."

Sun Chuanting didn't like Bi Ziyan's occasional 'ambiguity' attitude and said: "Sir, artillery... The emperor spends millions of taels of silver every year, which shows his importance and is becoming more and more important in our Ming army. It is a powerful weapon on the battlefield and is indispensable. The cabinet needs to have an attitude."

"Not expressing one' becomes "with attitude", which means not supporting it becomes support. Support means opposing the ban on artillery and burning the drawings.

Bi Ziyan's hand has a lot of troubles. This matter is not important to him at the moment. He waved his hand and stood up and said, "I will talk about this matter later. Baigu will open a cabinet discussion later. We will make a little more decision. Let's make a decision as soon as possible. I will modify the memorial book overnight and present it to the emperor so that these governors can return as soon as possible."

Just as Sun Chuanting wanted to say something else, the secretary of the cabinet, Zheng Youyuan, said outside, "Sir, the governors have entered the palace."

"Okay, let's go Baigu." Bi Ziyan took a deep breath and said to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting had to swallow his words and then turn to the conference hall.

As soon as Zhu Xu's carriage entered the Qianqing Palace, Cao Huachun arranged it and then transferred to the cabinet.

Liu Shimin was as busy as the cabinet, and his feet were not stuck in the ground, and his head was dizzy.

The cabinet has been busy with the "New Policy" plan this year, and everything cannot be avoided by the "little Sili Supervisor" in the cabinet. Naturally, Liu Shimin did not dare to be careless at all and did everything himself.

Although it was no longer the grand occasion of Wei Zhongxian in charge of the cabinet during the Tianqi period, and no one dared to refuse to follow the grand occasion, His Majesty the Emperor is too powerful. Even if Liu Shimin is low-key, the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet dare not neglect. Every time the cabinet congress discusses, he will be invited to listen and no one dares to transgress.

Cao Huachun sat in Liu Shimin's class room, drinking tea, and simply talked about the big martial arts performance with Liu Shimin.

Liu Shimin already had a deep understanding of this old partner, put down what he had, cooked tea and chatted with him.

Listening to Cao Huachun's great martial arts performance and the subsequent banquet for the kings and envoys from all over the country, Liu Shimin said happily: "This great martial arts performance must have a great shock to the countries outside the region. In ten or eight years, there should be nothing on the border. If the emperor is smart when he fights against the enemy, he will be very smart."

Cao Huachun put down his teacup, looked outside, and said, "It's already spring, and the provinces have poor expectations for summer harvest this year. The emperor is afraid that his thoughts will still be in China."

Liu Shimin's eyes were slightly condensed and he didn't say anything.

The disasters in Shaanxi, Xi, Sichuan and other places are the most serious, and more and more people are removed, so the taxes in various places are at least 30% lower than last year. It is difficult to be self-sufficient, so don’t mention it being handed over to the court.

There will be snow disasters in the northern provinces, Shan, West, and Zhili this year, and 20% of the production cut is the best estimate. Several southern provinces, especially Fujian, Yunnan, Nan, Guang, Xi, and even Huguang, have estimated that the lowest production cuts will be 20%.

Liaodong is now barely self-sufficient and is still in the digestive stage. Bei'annan is in the development stage and still needs a large amount of money and grain investment. The old port, Luzon Ming Dynasty, has not yet been fully controlled and is gradually swallowing, and we cannot expect them to support the country.

After all, the situation in the entire Ming Dynasty was slightly better than that in Nanzhili.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's treasury this year has dropped by at least 30% compared with last year!

With such a big hole, it is no wonder that the cabinet can't wait to reduce expenses and reduce expenses. However, the effectiveness of this reduction is definitely not achieved overnight, and it requires a period of buffering time. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be easy this year.

Cao Huachun looked at Liu Shimin and knew what he was thinking. He inserted his knife without hesitation and said, "The emperor intends to pacify Chahar this year and mobilize at least one hundred thousand troops!"

Liu Shimin was startled, looked at Cao Huachun with wide eyes and said, "Take it serious?"

Cao Huachun smiled and said, "It's basically nothing wrong."

Liu Shimin immediately frowned and began to think hard.

He is in the cabinet and is also a eunuch in the Silijian, and he has a great understanding of the domestic situation. If he uses a hundred thousand troops, the money and food expenditure will be a huge number!

Liu Shimin didn't dare to think about this scene and said in a mess: "Emperor... the people of the court shouldn't agree, right?"

Cao Huachun picked up the teacup and continued to smile without saying a word.

Liu Shimin looked at Cao Huachun's expression, and his forehead, which was originally hot, suddenly calmed down, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "You... let me tell me specifically, what did the emperor think?"

Cao Huachun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Liu Shimin was just surrounded by it for a moment. After calming down, he reacted and looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Okay, let's talk, otherwise the news will be out, my small class room will definitely be blown away by the adults outside."

Cao Huachun also had a rare time to chat with Liu Shimin, joked, and said a little serious: "For Chahar, I can see that the emperor intends to make decisions early. It is indeed necessary to deal with it as soon as possible to avoid being too big. However, the emperor did not explain the specific method, but just spoke to Sun Ge Lao and others, and then told Andashan that the date of the conquest was set on April 1st."

Liu Shimin listened with a strange look on his face.

Military information has always been confidential, so where can I tell the enemy the specific date of war before I even fought?

Liu Shimin is not the one outside, and would think that Zhu Xu is very happy with merits and is stunned by the "martial arts" in front of him. He knew very well that His Majesty the Emperor in the Qianqing Palace was very calm, and he had great ambitions and was far from fulfilling his ambitions.

After walking around, he couldn't figure out the mystery, so he looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Then, what am I going to do?"

Cao Huachun came this time mainly for the purpose of that decree. He pondered and said, "Find a time and reveal it to Mr. Bi Ge and others, don't say too much."

Liu Shimin looked at him, his eyes moved slightly, nodded understandingly, and said, "Okay, I'll find some time to have some tea with Mr. Bi Ge."

After saying this, Cao Huachun said, "The emperor has read that memorial."

Liu Shimin also knew Zhu Xu very well, and his eyes suddenly sank, saying, "Well, what is the will of the emperor?"

His Majesty the Emperor has been "rebellious" for a long time, and the government and the people have criticized each other for this. For this reason, they were killed and sentenced to countless people. This time, the power of artillery was in the eyes of the world. It is normal for the government and the government to be terrified, but how would the emperor react this time?

Cao Huachun took out a note and handed it to Liu Shimin as usual, without saying much.

This is the original words of Zhu Xu recorded by Cao Huachun. They need to be polished, drafted an imperial edict, and sent to the Ganqing Palace for stamping.

Liu Shimin took it and looked at it, and his face changed slightly.

‘Arson artillery has been everywhere in the world. My Ming Dynasty is destroyed today, and Western barbarians are attacking tomorrow. How to resist? How to build the Great Wall on the sea? Will my Ming Dynasty always be banned like a pig and sheep, bullied at will, and live in vain? Short-sighted, selfish and narrow-minded, abandon the responsibility of the family and country with one's own selfishness, talk about national affairs without being cared for, without any structure, and his heart can be punished'.

These words really refute the memorial, which is very broad and has no refutation for the long term. However, I am afraid that many people will be "shamed" by these words. The most important thing is that the cabinet has no attitude in this matter, and others don't know it, but the cabinet must be very clear. This is also "teaching a lesson" for them!

How does this make the adults in the cabinet handle themselves?

Liu Shimin knew that Zhu Xu had always taken into consideration the face of the cabinet, and was rarely so direct. He had a bad premonition in his heart. He looked up at Cao Huachun, remained silent for a while, leaned closer, and whispered: "Tell me honestly, does the emperor intend to change the cabinet minister?"

The 'change of cabinet ministers' must start with the 'prime minister'. The Ming Dynasty is now the most critical moment of reform, and too many things are in the 'start' stage. If the old master Bi Ge, who firmly supports the 'new policy', suddenly falls, I don't know how much impact it will be, let alone when there are external troubles.

Cao Huachun didn't think much at first, but when he listened to Liu Shimin's words, his heart was trembling slightly. He then smiled and shook his head, saying, "The emperor should not have such intentions. Just like in the past, just discuss things."

His Majesty is extremely enthusiastic about "strange skills and lewd skills". Every time the court officials are embarrassed by this, there are many scoldings.

Liu Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down for a while, and said, "Then, should this decree be sent to the cabinet, or should people be summoned to read it in the cabinet?"

Cao Huachun was not sure about the power of this decree and pondered: "The emperor means to read it separately, and then the cabinet, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Personnel will issue documents and report it tomorrow to the world."

Liu Shimin felt a little relieved when he heard the front, and felt that the emperor was considering the face of the cabinet. He smiled bitterly from behind. This slap seemed to be a letter to those who wrote a joint letter, but once he "revealed the world", it would be a call to all the people in the world with similar ideas!

I don’t know how many people will be embarrassed and angry!

At the same time, those in the world who oppose the "New Policy" and are determined to "not be an official" will grow again, and I don't know how many painting boats on the Qinhuai River need to be added.

Liu Shimin shook his head secretly and said, "You sit for a while. I'll go to find Mr. Bi Ge to have some tea. I can't say that the cabinet is going to the Qing Palace again to apologize."

Cao Huachun smiled and said nothing.

Faced with such a "rebellious" and "talented and wise" Emperor, whether he believed in the king in the past or Bi Ziyan now, life will not be easy.

Sometimes he was also confused, why did he feel that the whole world was always against the emperor?

The emperor is obviously the most correct one?

This is true before and afterwards!

What's the problem?
