In the Ming Dynasty system, the cabinet and the six ministries were separated and physically isolated.

However, in extraordinary times, it is not uncommon for a bachelor to work concurrently as a minister, but it is extremely rare.

If Zhao Zhigao realized something, he glanced back and forth at Zhang Wei and Li Chun, and then suddenly said: "Then please help Li Fushun."

Li Chun almost jumped up and blurted out: "Why?"

Only a fool would think of becoming the minister of the Ministry of Rites of Lao Shizi while the calamity of the country has not been lifted! It is not possible to hold an official position at the same time!

Zhao Zhigao patiently explained to Li Chun: "Both Zhang and Zhu came directly from the countryside and may not be familiar with the details of ministry affairs.

And you were previously the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, so you happen to be familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, so it is most appropriate for you to shoulder the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.

There is really no one to recommend in the Ministry of Personnel, so I would like to ask you to take charge of the Ministry of Etiquette for the time being.

After I report it to the Emperor, it will be considered as the common opinion of the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel."

Zhu Geng and Zhang Wei nodded in agreement, both expressing their opinion.

Li Chun: "."

Why did he suddenly force himself into a blind corner, with no way forward and no way back?

If you are also a minister of the Ministry of Finance, in order to avoid being suspected of being exclusive, it is not suitable to be the first assistant or second assistant, right?

Zhang Wei asked Zhu Geng half sarcastically and half jokingly: "What else did Lin Jiuyuan say when you passed by Suzhou?"

Zhu Geng replied: "It happened that Shen Wumen returned to Suzhou, and Lin Jiuyuan told Shen Wumen that Yu Li, the chief minister, should not recommend cabinet ministers.

Shen Wumen said that this was authorized by the emperor, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Lin Jiuyuan also said that even if the chief assistant recommends a candidate, in order to prevent dictatorship, this person should not directly occupy the position of first assistant or second assistant.

Otherwise, ambitions will expand and the cabinet will have no peace. In the end, Shen Wumen was silent."

Zhang position: "."

Isn't he himself the candidate recommended by the former chief assistant Shen Shixing? Does this mean that he has to avoid suspicion and it is inconvenient to be the second assistant?

At this time, Zhao Zhigao also said: "It makes sense."

Finally, Zhang Wei slapped the case angrily and said, "Is it possible that Lin Jiuyuan can be regarded as a model based on just a few words?"

Zhu Geng concluded: "Lin Jiuyuan said that his thoughts were all from the perspective of sharing the emperor's worries. As long as the cabinet reports truthfully, the emperor will understand.

Otherwise, the cabinet would be delayed for two or three months, unable to even decide on the order of cabinet ministers, and could not elect the Minister of Rites. This would be too incompetent.

It’s better for him, a clear observer, to see more clearly!”

Zhao Zhigao showed off the style of a chief assistant and said decisively: "We can't delay it any longer! Lin Tai said that we must first solve the existing problems, and then solve the good ones.

Therefore, you should decide on a style first. If it is not suitable, you can find an opportunity to adjust it later.

Today I am going to announce it, with Zhu Shanyin as the second assistant, Li Fushun as the third assistant and in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Xinjian as the fourth assistant!"

Zhang Wei was speechless. When Zhao Zhigao and Zhu Geng teamed up to trick Li Chun, he didn't speak.

Now the two Zhejiang guys started to trick him and made him the last fourth assistant, but there was no one to speak for him anymore.
Chapter completed!
