Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 225 Planning the Cabinet
"The crown prince will be enthroned soon, have you made all the preparations for the new dynasty on the side of the Tongzheng envoy?"

Chen Yunfu called Cai Xuan to come to the side, walked around the abdication platform and asked.

The latter handed over: "Don't worry, Mingtai, basically all the preparations have been made, and now there is only one year left to be determined. The imperial department has sent people to remind it several times, and the Ministry of Rites and the General Administration Department have prepared more than a dozen alternatives."

"You are the co-administrator, so you have to worry about this."

Chen Yunfu instructed: "In this way, you can find a time to go to the crown prince, and try to make time for us Jiuqing to meet for a meeting in the next few days, including the year name, the imperial edict for enthronement, and so on. "

"Okay, I'll remember it, I'll go report to the crown prince tomorrow morning." Cai Xuan followed behind Chen Yunfu step by step, walking around the abdication platform.

"Mingtai, hurry up and wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne, and the new dynasty will be Yinshi. When Vientiane is renewed, should we make any preparations here?"

"What are you preparing for?"

Chen Yunfu chuckled, looked at Cai Xuan and teased, "Why, can't sit still?"

"The subordinates just think that the new dynasty should have a new policy?"

Cai Xuan tentatively said: "Of course, the students in the school have little talent and learning, and naturally only Mingtai will follow the lead in everything."

"Once the emperor and the courtiers, there will be new policies in the new dynasty." Chen Yunfu nodded and said: "The new official knows how to light three fires when he takes office, not to mention the crown prince's ascension to the throne.

But Zixing, the crown prince ascended the throne and enshrined His Majesty as the Supreme Emperor, so many places should be touched less, or even better not to touch, do you understand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is only a Zen position but not dead. Who would really think that Zhu Biao can have supreme power?
In the past few years, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely escort Zhu Biao. In other words, if Zhu Biao's ability is not enough, then no one can say whether Zhu Yuanzhang will come to the court once as the Supreme Emperor.

The joy of jumping around at this juncture will not end well.

"Mingtai has a high opinion, but the officials are in a hurry."

Cai Xuan bowed to be taught, just as he straightened up, he heard Chen Yunfu's voice again.

"However, we do need to make some preparations first, at least get the foundation ready, just like building a palace, you have to have a foundation before you can build a tall house, let's set up a cabinet."

"cabinet?"

Cai Xuan blinked in confusion: "Dare to ask Mingtai, what is a cabinet?"

"He is in charge of the government affairs, and saves trouble in the middle of the line. He is in charge of the affairs of six ministries, five temples, and one courtyard. He is directly in charge of the Minister of General Administration and promoted to the whole country."

What Chen Yunfu said made Cai Xuan almost stumble in astonishment.

This is not a matter of saving trouble in the middle school, this power is obviously greater than that of the previous Zhongshu province.

"If the country wants to develop, the central government doesn't even have a prime minister's office. Can that work?"

Chen Yunfu frowned slightly, and confessed: "Every year, the Minister of General Affairs receives memorials like mountains and seas, and swarms of swarms send them to Wenyuan Pavilion and Dong Pavilion, which not only delays time but also easily causes redundant government affairs. To seek development, it is necessary to streamline the communication and handling process of government affairs and speed up the communication of government orders.

In the next ten years, the most urgent problem to be solved in the Guochao is the chieftains in Guizhou and Huguang, and the newly recovered Liaodong, Yunnan, Ganxi, Qinghai and other places. To solve the problems of so many provinces, the whole country must work together. It is impossible for local provinces to seek their own policies.

Zixing, as the co-administrator, you must have the idea of ​​a national game of chess and the overall situation from now on, and you must not be confused about this matter. "

Cai Xuan understood, Chen Yunfu was reminding himself that Chen Yunfu had already made up his mind on this matter, and hoped that he would fully support him, and he must not waver and become confused.

"Mingtai, please rest assured, the door is awake."

"Okay, then let's talk about it first. Tonight, Liang Guogong and Wei Guogong have a banquet. Benhou is going to go there. You can stay here for a while, and see if there is any need for an envoy in Renbutang. A place to coordinate help."

"Yes." Cai Xuan stopped, and bowed to Chen Yunfu: "Send Mingtai respectfully under the door."

The latter turned and left, intending to say hello to Ren Hengtai, but seeing that he was sweating profusely, he didn't want to be an eyesore, so he only said hello to Xu Ben.

Of course, the king of Jin, Zhu Yan, was not forgotten.

It's just that Zhu Yan didn't respond.

It is estimated that Chen Yunfu is still sulking.

Leaving Zenrangtai in the southern suburbs and returning to Jinling City, Chen Yunfu was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he went to his father-in-law first to find Shao Zhi and talk about his plan to set up a cabinet in the central government.

"It doesn't seem appropriate."

Shao Zhi frowned and said worriedly: "It's only been more than ten years since the Hu Ni case, and Hu Weiyong's various arrogance and evil deeds are still vivid in my mind. Now you want to set up a cabinet and restore Zhongshu to save trouble. Are Your Majesty and the Crown Prince worried?"

"The purpose of Haier's establishment of a cabinet is only to speed up the leadership and development of the newly recovered areas such as Liaodong. Of course, doing so will inevitably lead to rumors that Haier has the ambition to be a powerful minister."

Chen Yunfu nodded and expressed his position: "So, my boy plans to set a deadline for this so-called cabinet, just ten years. After ten years, the cabinet will be abolished or replaced by courtiers. At that time, my boy will dissolve this cabinet and take the lead in serving."

"What?"

Shao Zhi was taken aback, looked at Chen Yunfu in disbelief, and said in astonishment: "How can you have such thoughts, besides, even if ten years have passed, you are only in your 30s, and you have become an official?"

"Isn't it a great pleasure to retire after success?" Chen Yunfu said with a smile: "I don't care how much power I can be an official, as long as I can do things and show my revenge, I will be satisfied." gone."

Shao Zhi was speechless, and after a long silence, he provoked Thumbs up at Chen Yunfu.

"My son is indeed a pure and good minister, and I admire you for my father. Well, after the new dynasty, my father will definitely support you with all his strength."

"Then thank you, Mr. Yue Zhang."

Chen Yunfu said no more, took his leave and left.

Now in Jiuqing, he has won the support of Cai Xuan and Shao Zhi, plus his own vote, that is only three votes.

Who else will support himself.

It's a pity that Yu Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, has already been given the position by Qi De. Otherwise, he would have won four votes, and if he won another one, he would have passed half of the vote.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the principle of democratic centralization where the minority obeys the majority, everything is decided by the emperor, but as long as there are more than half of them, Chen Yunfu is [-]% sure to persuade Zhu Biao.

Yes, Zid.

Can't forget about the shit-stirring stick.

Chen Yunfu had a whereabouts, so he said to Wei Sandao: "Go to the official residence of Minister Qibutang of the Ministry of War."

The carriage rolled forward and soon stopped in front of Zid's mansion.

"My good fellow, I've been promoted and even changed my place of residence. It's impressive."

Chen Yunfu looked at the two huge stone lions in front of the mansion gate, looked up at the Qi mansion plaque hanging high and laughed.

The porter greeted him, but he could recognize Chen Yunfu.

Being able to work as a concierge in the mansion of a high-ranking official on West Chang'an Street, how can you not know the important ministers of the court.

When he learned that Chen Yunfu came to look for Qi De, the porter hurriedly said.

"Master Hou, please move to the main hall for a while, and the servants will report to the master of the hall."

Chen Yunfu nodded, and followed him to the main hall. When the tea arrived, he held up the tea bowl and stared at the dense tea mist in a daze.

Smile after a long time.

Qi De's chess piece is not only used by Zhu Yuanzhang, but also Chen Yunfu.

"Your Majesty, who do you think will win our game of chess?"
