Domineering Daming

He looked at these letters of complaint and became very angry. He could quickly investigate the case, but even the emperor must be cautious about the "ancestral system", let alone him.

"Your majesty...there should be a solution?" Wei Xuelian said to himself, now he can only place his hopes on Zhu Xu, and no one else can.

This time, it was different from the usual ones. It didn't make a lot of noise, but it spread quickly in the official circles, surprisingly fast.

Zongren Mansion.

King Lu stayed up all night and sat dry all night. Now he is standing under the eaves, looking towards the direction of the palace.

King Jing was originally the King of Jingjiang, not directly related to Zhu Yuanzhang.This person, it can be said, is currently the most prominent among the princes of the clan. If he falls, the clan will never be able to stand up again.

Nearly [-] clans have been imprisoned in the capital, and there are many more in other places. If Prince Jing collapses, the life of these clan princes will be even more difficult, and the future outcome is even more unclear.

The Ministry of Rites also has a headache now. The "ancestral system" is often inherited, developed, and elaborated by the Ministry of Rites. King Jing's violation of the ancestral system can also be said to be a violation of etiquette. The Ministry of Rites is the first to bear the brunt.

Once King Jing falls, he will be chased after him. This will definitely be a huge movement. I don’t know how many people will be involved. The six ministers, from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Officials, will not be able to escape. In the court, Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong of the cabinet may have to be involved.

"That is to say, once Prince Jing falls, more than half of the entire imperial court will collapse..."

Shen Xun sighed softly, he was sitting in the class room, his mind was out of order, and it was difficult to calm down.Not for himself, but worried about the court situation.This man behind the scenes is really powerful. Prince Jing is indeed a terrible weakness. Once something happens to him, the court will be paralyzed.

cabinet.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Wenda stayed up all night and sat there in silence.

They are different from what the outside world is worried about. They are waiting for the emperor's disposal method. They hope to know the first time, and then deal with it, and minimize the disturbance.

Bi Ziyan took another sip of strong tea, looked up and said, "It's almost there, the emperor should have woken up, let Zheng Youyuan keep an eye on it, and tell us immediately if there is any news."

"Yes." A guard outside the door answered, turned and left quickly.

As soon as the officer had gone a few steps, Zheng Youyuan came in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he said loudly: "You two elders, it's not good, the Minister of General Affairs has sent a bunch of memorials to the Supervisor of Rituals, all of them are About Prince Jing!"

Bi Ziyan suddenly regained his energy as if being stabbed by a needle, and raised his head to look at him. Before he could speak, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice, "Who are these memorabilia?"

Zheng Youyuan said: "I don't know yet, there are a few from Henan, and Nanzhili, and then there are a few appointed patrol censors. I heard that the words are quite strong, and may offend the emperor."

Bi Ziyan took a deep breath, stood up while leaning on the table, and was about to speak when a sharp chorus sounded outside.

"The Emperor is here!"

Bi Ziyan paused and looked at Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong also showed surprise, and then said in a deep thought: "Pick up the driver first, and then talk about the rest."

Bi Ziyan nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the door.Before they got to the door, Zhu Xu had already stepped over the threshold quickly, and several people rushed to salute.

Zhu Xu waved his hands with a smile, strode past several people, and said, "Don't be polite, I'm just here to see."

After speaking, he walked to the center of the cabinet lobby, looked up and down, back and forth, left and right.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Wenda looked at each other with sullen faces and changing eyes.

After a while, Bi Ziyan walked up to Zhu Xu's side, thought about his words, and said, "Your Majesty, what's the important thing to come to the cabinet so early in the morning?"

Zhu Xu turned his head and glanced at him, smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a whim, you all sit down." He said, walking towards the northernmost side.

There are rules for the placement of cabinet tables and chairs. For example, there are two chairs at the far north, on which are Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, one on the left and one on the right, and on the two sides are the chairs of six ministers, lined up in order.

Zhu Xu walked over and raised his hand.

The two inner eunuchs trotted forward, moved one of the chairs out, and placed the other in the middle.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Wenda didn't feel anything about this, but they were a little uneasy, and after Zhu Xu sat down, they sat down on both sides one by one.

Wearing a thick cotton coat, Zhu Xu breathed out, looked at the three people on both sides, smiled, and didn't speak immediately.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong sat opposite each other and looked at each other. Sun Chengzong turned to Zhu Xu, paused for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet minister is the prime minister of the world's government affairs. Some small matters can be handled properly. Please don't worry about it."

Sun Chengzong's words were very skillful. Zhu Xu picked up the teacup he had just served, and said smoothly: "Well, I am very assured of the cabinet's ability, but after returning to Beijing, I haven't had a good chat with the two teachers, so I just want to Let’s find an opportunity to chat, and this will come.”

Sun Chengzong looked unmoved and felt restless.The emperor didn't mention Prince Jing's affairs at all, making it clear that something big was going to happen.

With a calm face, Bi Ziyan gave Sun Chengzong a look, signaling him not to answer.

Zhang Wenda couldn't even open his mouth. The collusion between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party hit him hard.

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, feeling at ease physically and mentally, then looked at Bi and Sun, and said, "I went to Shaanxi last time, although I didn't see Brother Huang, but I remembered many things. I am conscientious, meticulous, and never neglect government affairs. I have been reflecting on the way back to Beijing, and I am far behind the emperor in this regard."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, what did the emperor mean by these words?Want to recall King Xin?That absolutely can't!The capital is already chaotic enough, King Xin must not come back!

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong were secretly on guard, waiting for Zhu Xu's next words.

Zhu Xu didn't follow their ideas, and said with a firm gaze: "I have decided that after taking office next year, I will sit in the cabinet and handle government affairs with all the cabinet ministers, sitting and resting together, the wind and rain will not stop!"

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Wenda all looked slightly shocked. They never expected that the emperor's words meant this!

The Holy King's Landing Hall is of course what they dream of, if they can see the emperor from time to time, many things will be easy for them to do!

This is Shengshi Mingjun's deed!

"The emperor is wise!" Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong got up almost at the same time and saluted.

Zhang Wenda hurriedly followed, and things were beyond his expectation—the emperor suddenly became "diligent".

Zhu Xu looked at the three of them, smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Excuse me, please sit down."

The three of them sat down quite cautiously, their hearts were still shaken.Although the emperor is considered diligent in Jingyang Palace, he is not as good as in the cabinet. This is the real "diligence"!

Picking up the teacup, Zhu Xuyou smiled inwardly, as the emperor, he will also serve as the chief minister of the cabinet next year.This imperial power, the power of prime minister, will be in his hands!

Pretending to take a sip of tea, he put down the teacup, looked around, and said in a pretentious way: "There are still fewer ministers in the cabinet, so let's see, King Jing will join the cabinet! The Governor's Council will become more and more important in the future, and he will join the cabinet." , is necessary, and of course..."

Everyone was startled again and realized at the same time!

It turned out that the emperor had this idea, he wanted King Jing to join the cabinet!

but!

I don't know how much trouble this will cause, the imperial court and the officialdom in the capital can be controlled, and the scholars all over the world don't know what kind of ugly words they will swear!

Chapter 813

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and blew gently.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other with solemn expressions.

They all know that the emperor in front of him doesn't stick to etiquette, but the prince's involvement in politics is not only about etiquette, but also involves the stability of the country.This is after learning the lessons of previous dynasties, the Taizu appointed that once a gap is opened, there will be many bloody storms and the royal family will fight against the wall in the future.

Bi Ziyan deliberated over and over again, but still opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I think that King Jing's position in the Governor's Council is already the limit. If he enters the cabinet, the country will be unstable."
