Daming heir

The cabinet members at today's meeting are dissatisfied.

In fact, the cabinet members in Beijing have never been full.

On the civil servant's side, headed by chief assistant Ren Hengtai, assisted by Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi, the three of them have now followed Zhu Yunxi out of Beijing for a tour of the north.

The military commander has never been in Beijing at full capacity since the beginning.

At the beginning, the imperial court ordered Xu Yungong, Duke of Wei, Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, and Hou Muying of Xiping to be the Grand Masters of Wuyingdian and to join the cabinet.Besides Wei Guogong Xu Yungong, Lan Yu and Mu Ying had been leading the army at that time.

Even until now, Lan Yu and Mu Ying have never returned to Beijing, and there has never been a day when they have truly fulfilled their duties as cabinet ministers.

With the establishment of the cabinet system for nearly a year, the attributes and characteristics of the cabinet have gradually become clear.

The cabinet ministers represent the will of the royal family and maintain the majesty of the king, but to a certain extent, they also play a role in balancing and neutralizing the conflicts between the royal family and the courtiers.

There is no special official rank for all cabinet ministers.

Everything is based on the original official rank, with the title of cabinet bachelor, enlisted in the cabinet, participates in the important military and political affairs of the empire, and has the power to draft memorials for hundreds of officials.

For today's imperial court, there is nothing that cannot be tried.

A governor's yamen has powers and responsibilities that only involve the four ways of Yingzhou.

Whether it is set up or not is irrelevant.

In contrast, the tax office, whose responsibility was to cover the entire empire, had been in operation for several years, and nothing new was unacceptable.

However, it is a political issue that needs to be considered to let the ministers of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry among the six ministries go to the governor's office in Yingzhou.

Xu Yungong hugged the wat board with his hands clasped together.

This matter has nothing to do with the interests of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. Even if there is an extra governor's yamen in the four provinces of Yingzhou, the Eastern Expedition Army still belongs to the command of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

Therefore, one of the three cabinet ministers in Beijing chose to keep silent.

Xie Jin fumbled for a while, and looked vaguely at Zhu Gaochi, who had been out of work today and repeatedly refuted Wang Jun.

Now that Zou Xueyu can continue to serve as the magistrate of Yingtian, there is no need for him to speak out again.

In order not to be charged with being a teacher-student teaming up and forming a party for personal gain at that time.

In the end, Ren Hengtai was the only one left before the matter reached the emperor.

Ren Hengtai glanced up at His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince at the gate of the palace, and then turned slightly to look sideways at Wang Jun who was leaving the shift, Zhai Shan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was standing beside him, and Minister of the Household Department standing in the class Yu Xin.

He didn't have much impression of Wang Jun and Yu Xin.Wang Jun is a fool, at least in many public occasions this year, he has fully demonstrated his stupidity.

On the contrary, Yu Xin, although he has a different position in the court, he still has some abilities.

If the two ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are the governors of Yingzhou Sidao, even if they serve as governors concurrently with the title of ministers, once the two of them leave Beijing, the court will inevitably re-arrange two new ministers to take on the ministry.

As for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, everyone knows who is valued by the royal family.

Such as Walking in the Wenhua Palace, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Zhang Ergong, a master craftsman and Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Once Wang Jun and Yu Xin leave Yingtian City.

Ren Hengtai believed that it would not be long before Xia Yuanji and Zhang Ergong would receive orders to promote the two ministers.

At the beginning, Xia Yuanji and Xie Jin walked in the Wenhua Palace, and Zhang Ergong was picked up by His Royal Highness Taisun.

In a daze, Ren Hengtai suddenly discovered that if things really developed like this, more than half of the officials in the imperial court, from the cabinet to the six ministries, would have their hearts towards His Highness the Grandson.

From the perspective of Ren Hengtai's selfishness, he maintained a high degree of affirmation and recognition of the changes made by the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi in the past few years, and he couldn't conceal his approval.

But on top of this, there is a more serious point that not many people seem to pay attention to.

That means that the emperor is still alive and looks like he is still in the spirit of the dragon and horse.

And the crown prince is also in his prime. Although the incident happened a few years ago, he has slowly recovered in the past few years.

Under such circumstances, the power of the emperor's grandson in the court has become so great that everyone has to take it seriously. What will happen to the succession and power distribution within the royal family in the future.

Ren Hengtai put a big question mark in his heart.

What is most helpless to him is that the emperor and the crown prince personally promoted this situation.

Whenever he thinks of the grandson's right to go out of Beijing and the emperor's decree bestowed by His Majesty, Ren Hengtai feels dizzy for a while.

I can be sure that the conduct and disposition of the emperor's grandson are pure and good.

But right now, at today's court meeting, what about those civil and military ministers who stand on the side of the grandson?

In Ren Hengtai's eyes, there are now three suns standing on the highest point of Daming.

It was the scorching sun in the morning, the scorching sun at noon, and the setting sun in the evening.

The scorching sun in the morning is always full of hope.

But the sunset at night is actually hot.

Who can guarantee that they will always be in a fixed position?

Shoufu has a headache.

But behind him, the eyes of the officials were staring at him, and the emperor and prince in front were also waiting for him to speak.

Ren Hengtai wanted to find a perfect solution, but in the end he had no choice but to say: "I think that the four provinces of Yingzhou can set up a governor's yamen, and the left and right governors will jointly manage the government affairs of the four provinces."

After Shoufu finished speaking, he simply closed his mouth.

Yingzhou is not big in the first place, and the reason why the Four Ways were established is entirely to divide the original culture and system of Yingzhou.

The establishment of the governor's office on the four roads also facilitated the imperial court's management of Yingzhou.

However, he didn't say how the imperial court should choose the right and left governors of Yingzhou governor's yamen.

The problem was finally kicked in front of the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang tapped the chair lightly with his fingers, and looked calmly at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in front of Fengtian Gate.

He smiled and said slowly, "The new expedition to Yingzhou is not like Jiaozhi, which has been ruled by us in the Central Plains since ancient times. In Fangnian, Qianyuan wanted to sail eastward to conquer Yingzhou, but he was hit by a storm and died without illness.

This time, Daming was blessed by the heavens and extended the orthodoxy of the Central Plains.The soldiers went out to the east, pacified Yingzhou, and took it as territory.There should be four departments and three divisions, and above the four departments, a governor's office should be set up.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed in Yingzhou during the Eastern Expedition, and the governor's yamen should have ministers capable of reforming and rebuilding Yingzhou.

The officials of the imperial court perform their own duties, and the affairs are different, and the powers are different.The left and right governors of the governor's yamen in Yingzhou should be the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and the titles of Prince Shaofu and Prince Shaobao.

It is advisable to stabilize the four roads of Yingzhou as soon as possible and turn them into the territory of our Central Plains, so that our Central Plains people can come and go, and the salty envoys will announce the Chinese and foreign, and declare the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. "

Zhu Biao, who was beside the emperor, smiled silently.

The old man not only made a decision on the candidates for the left and right governors of Yingzhou governor's yamen, but also mocked the former dynasty who had died long ago.

As for Wang Jun and Yu Xin in front of Fengtian Gate, Qi Qi's heart skipped a beat.

It’s over.

The emperor finally chose to drive them out of Yingtian.

The false titles of Prince Shaofu and Prince Shaobao are just a consolation, the real thing is that they want to move their buttocks from the positions of Minister of the Ministry of Households and Minister of the Ministry of Industry to others.

As for the two of them, they could only be driven to the four roads of Yingzhou outside the East China Sea in despair, away from the Central Plains and the court.

Even, I don't know what the return date is.

It's just that no matter how unhappy Wang Jun and Yu Xin were, they didn't dare to hesitate in front of the emperor.

Even Yu Xin quickly walked out of the train and stood beside Wang Jun.

The two men had fear on their faces, and they knelt down to the ground neatly waving their robes.

"The minister leads the decree, thank you."

Things are proceeding according to their own ideas.

But Zhu Gaochi still wrinkled his eyes, and looked lightly at Jiang Yi, the left capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who first raised this matter.

He was originally the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he and Wang Jun had been officials together for a long time.

It is impossible to abruptly propose the appointment of officials from the Fourth Department and the Third Department of Yingzhou, and send Wang Jun to Yingzhou by the way.

And today's question should be about the river accident, why hasn't it been raised until now.

Although Wang Jun and Yu Xin were taken to Yingzhou and Zou Xueyu was saved, Zhu Gaochi did not feel happy because of this, on the contrary, he felt a little uneasy.

Strictly speaking, today they lost two imperial minister positions at once.

At this moment, Xie Jin suddenly stood up.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are four new roads in Yingzhou, and the territory is being opened up one after another in the south. There are more and more military and state affairs in the four directions, and the government is complicated. The people in Wenyuan Pavilion are not satisfied with the people in the pavilion, and things are difficult. Your Majesty's permission. To fill in the members of the Wenyuan Pavilion, to ensure the smooth flow of the country's military and government."

The imperial court has just left two ministers, and the vacant positions have not been filled yet.

At this time, Xie Jin suddenly proposed in public that he hoped to increase the number of cabinet members.

For a moment, all the officials in front of Fengtianmen were surprised.

If they were in Wenyuan Pavilion and were cabinet ministers, even if they were too busy to touch the ground and couldn't go home every night, they would never think of asking His Majesty to increase the number of cabinet members.

This is giving yourself power.

Even Wang Jun and Yu Xin, who were disheartened and thinking about how to live after they went to Yingzhou, frowned.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a step forward, stared at Xie Jin a few times, and then finally sat down slowly on the chair.

He said softly: "Has the cabinet discussed it before, what is the conclusion?"

Ren Hengtai was also a little puzzled. Xie Jin hadn't mentioned this matter to them in the cabinet beforehand. It was purely the other party's sudden suggestion today.

It was just that the emperor asked the cabinet for his opinion.

As the chief assistant, Ren Hengtai had to say again: "Your Majesty, the cabinet was originally scheduled to have six people. Because the Duke of Liang and the Marquis of Xiping have been away for a long time, the cabinet has always only had four people. Now, the old man of Xiaogao Pavilion is patrolling north with his grandson, Wen Yuan There are only three people left in the cabinet. As Xue Xueshi said, the military and political affairs in the cabinet are becoming more and more complicated, which can indeed increase the number of cabinet members."

After finishing speaking, Ren Hengtai clasped his hands together, doubts appeared in his eyes.

At the moment, he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Xie Jin was selling in this gourd.

It's just that the other party has said so, and it's okay to be a favor that goes along with the flow.

The second assistant proposed, and the first assistant seconded.

Zhai Shan's eyes lit up immediately.

Looking at the entire court, if he really wants to increase the number of cabinet members this time, he, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is qualified to enter no matter how he looks at it.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered, and glanced sideways at the prince.

Zhu Biao, who just sat down, took a deep look at Xie Jin.

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhu Biao moved his lips slightly and spit out two words.

"Ministry of Officials."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, waved his hand, and said loudly to the officials in front of the palace gate: "Yes. The imperial court is fair, and there are rules and regulations for selecting officials and selecting materials. The chief minister of the cabinet draws up military and political votes. I always choose loyal and good ministers in the court." Join the cabinet. Zhai Shan has served as a heavenly official in the Ministry of Officials for a long time, and the ministers can discuss whether it is an appropriate choice."

Zhu Gaochi blinked, suddenly he couldn't understand the situation in front of him.

Is Xie Jin out of his mind and wants to let Zhai Shan into the cabinet?

Didn't he know that Zhai Shan was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, once he entered the cabinet, he would still control the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, even if he was ranked lower than him in the cabinet, his power would be far greater than him.

Zhai Shan was already ecstatic in his heart.

When there was no cabinet, he was the most prominent person in the court.

But after having a cabinet, what I, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has done is really aggrieved!

Now I have finally waited for the opportunity to join the cabinet.

He bowed involuntarily: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes slightly sideways and looked around to see who would speak out against his entry into the cabinet at this time.

After a long time, no one in front of the entire Fengtian Gate came out to oppose the official minister Zhai Shan's promotion of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "There is nothing to say, so from now on, Zhai Shan will be working as an errand in Wenyuan Pavilion."

Zhai Shan took a deep breath and knelt down on the ground.

"Sir, thank you Long En."

With the finalization of Zhai Shan's entry into the cabinet, the officials also had some new considerations in their minds.

The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry will be replaced, and the Ministry of Officials will enter the cabinet. This court will be a little different again.

And at this moment.

On the south side of Neiwulong Bridge, there was a sound.

"Chen, the Ministry of Industry has given Ji Kai the matter, and there is a book to play."

The official of the six subjects.

This sound broke the weird situation in front of Fengtian Gate.

No one knows what Ji Kai is going to say at this time.

It's just that Sun Gou'er tiptoed to look south of Wulong Bridge after seeing His Majesty nodding his head.

"Tell Ji Kai to come forward."

The servants on both sides of the train spread the chief executive's words all the way to the south.

For a while, under the gaze of everyone.

With a beard, square cheeks, and wearing a green robe, Gong Budu gave Ji Kai in the matter, and he had already appeared in front of Fengtian Gate.

"The Ministry of Industry and Commerce has given Ji Kai the matter, and there is a book to play."

Ji Kai held the wat board in his hands and knelt in front of the palace gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and raised his hand: "Say."

Ji Kai raised his head, looked around, saw the red robes all around him, and smiled slightly.

"My minister impeached Pan Deshan, the Minister of the Governor of the River, and the officials of the Governor's Yamen.

Impeach Pei Benzhi, the chief envoy of Henan Province.

The impeachment of Henan Province, the punishment of the inspector, the inspector, the inspector, and Gao Guang.

Impeach Yu Ma, the commander of Henan Province, and the commander of Sidu.

Impeach an official in Henan Province and Zhili Province who should be involved in river affairs.

I request Your Majesty to strictly investigate the relevant officials involved in the case, and declare the official punishment to demonstrate the fairness of the court! "
