Factory owner is king

Chapter 157
On the second day after Xu Ruyi proposed the cabinet system, Zhu Yunqi officially issued an order to change the official system.

Promoted six ministers to Zhengyipin, and promoted Du Ze, the left servant of the Ministry of officials, to minister of the Ministry of officials.

Change the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Yushifu, and Du Yushi to Yushi Dafu.The twelve paths are divided into two courtyards, the left and the right, the left is the collection of relics, and the right is the complement.

The Tongzhengshisi was changed to a temple.

Zhan Shifu added Zideyuan.The Imperial Academy re-established Chengzhi, and changed the bachelor's degree to the doctor of literature.

There are two Wenhan and Wenshi halls, where Wenhan lives to read and lecture, and Wenhan lives to edit, edit, and review.

After a set of Mizong Quan, at the end of the decree, it was proposed to add Wenyuan Pavilion, with two Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholars, the official residence of the sixth rank, to assist the emperor in military and political affairs, and Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin were appointed as the first university officials. scholar.

The decree was made in a hurry, Zhu Yunqi did not discuss with Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai.The decree is also very clever, to raise the official rank of the six ministers to the first rank, so that the six ministers will not make any objections.Naturally, there will not be many people who raise objections in the six parts.The decree passed smoothly.

Although the decree was successfully passed, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were very dissatisfied.

In the reform of the official system, such an important matter is not discussed with us. It is too embarrassing. We must ask for an explanation.

After the morning court was over, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai came to the Wenhua Palace with sullen faces and asked to see Zhu Yunqi.

"Chen Qitai (Huang Zicheng), greet Your Majesty."

"The two Qing families quickly flatten your body." Zhu Yunqi put his hands on his hands, then turned his head and said: "Liu Xi, quickly give the two Qing families seats."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai stood up and sat on the two round stools brought by Liu Xi.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai with a guilty conscience, and said with a smile: "The two Qing family have seen me, do you have any important matters to discuss with me?"

"Your Majesty." Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at each other, stood up first, and said salutingly: "I want to ask Your Majesty, who exactly spoke to you and asked you to change the official system?"

"Um..." Zhu Yunwen's face froze, and then he said with some displeasure: "What, is there anything wrong with this decree?"

Huang Zicheng added: "Your Majesty, there is nothing else. It's just that there is something wrong with the newly established position of Wenyuan Pavilion Bachelor to assist Your Majesty in military and aircraft government affairs.

Military affairs and government affairs have always been the key points of a country, and ordinary people can't hear about it, let alone talk about it. . . "

Before Huang Zicheng finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the hall: "Master Huang, do you mean to doubt the talents of Bachelor Fang and Bachelor Xie?"

Huang Zicheng looked back and followed the voice, and saw Xu Ruyi leading Fang Xiaoru, Xie Jin, and six ministers coming hand in hand.

"Minister Xu Ruyi (Fang Xiaoru, Xie Jin, Ru Yu...) See Your Majesty." Everyone bowed their heads and bowed.

"Everyone is flat." Zhu Yunwen smiled faintly: "Give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone got up and sat down.

As the old saying goes, "Who doesn't talk about people behind their backs, no one talks about people behind their backs." But if someone caught talking about people, it would be embarrassing, let alone a well-known decent person like Huang Zicheng.

For a moment, Huang Zicheng's face flushed red and he was at a loss for words.

Xu Ruyi snorted coldly, and said: "Mr. Zhengxue is the minister of the humerus left by the late emperor, and the scholar of Xie is well-known in the world. Mr. Huang, it is good to be prudent in doing things, but you must uphold the public heart, otherwise, it will inevitably make people think You are too domineering."

"You!" Huang Zicheng was in a hurry, and said angrily, "The first emperor ordered that internal officials are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. All of you present here are high-ranking officials, and what you are discussing is also important military affairs. What are you doing here? Hurry up and get out!"

To deal with such an angry person, the more you quarrel with him, the more energetic he will be.On the contrary, if you deal with it indifferently, it will have the effect of pulling a thousand catties.

I saw Xu Ruyi smiled slightly: "The emperor summoned all the adults to discuss political affairs. Naturally, there is no room for a eunuch in our family to comment. But our family is also the owner of the East Factory. Here I can tell you something that the adults are talking about nowadays. If you don’t know the situation, isn’t this an offense against the late emperor’s will?”

When Xu Ruyi said this, she bowed to Zhu Yunqi and said, "Your Majesty, Dongchang received three pieces of news today. One, King Yan claimed to have a headache and was seriously ill before, and it was difficult for him to go to Beijing to mourn the late emperor. Now Dongchang's investigation revealed that he was pretending to be sick. , The body is strong and there is no abnormality; two, Beiping has now expanded its army to more than 20, which is far beyond the normal defense needs, and has not been reported to the court; three, the former King Yan sent his third son I went to Beijing to pay my respects to the late emperor, and now I am only fifty miles away from the city, and I believe I can arrive in Beijing tomorrow."

The top priority of the Jianwen Dynasty, what is the first priority?
All the courtiers present here know it well: cut down the feudal clan!

Zhu Yunqi asked Xu Ruyi to bring six books to come here to discuss the matter of cutting down the vassals, and at the same time let Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin show their talents and strategies, and justify their names in front of all the officials.

In the current situation, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai couldn't afford to worry about the change of the official system anymore, after all, the conversation had already been drawn to the major issue of cutting the feudal clan.

And when it comes to cutting down feudal clans, this has scratched Huang Zicheng's itch.

"Your Majesty." Huang Zicheng took a step forward, calmly and proudly took out a pocket book he carried with him, and said loudly: "The ambition of King Yan is wolfish. I have heard about it for a long time, and I have already prepared some countermeasures in my heart. Today. If the opportunity is right, I will play it to Your Majesty and invite a few adults to listen to it. If there are any shortcomings, please let me know." As he spoke, Huang Zicheng unfolded the fold in his hand and began to read in a measured tone.

It is still Huang Zicheng's usual style, starting with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, emphasizing the orthodoxy of the imperial power, sacred and inviolable, and talking about the status quo of the vassal kings who are too big to lose.It wasn't until everyone got a little impatient that they started talking about his plan to reduce the feudal vassal.

After talking about more than ten items in a row, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence, first cut the small fan, then cut the strong fan, Yan Ning last.

"Before I discussed it with Master Qi, I thought that the most urgent thing for the imperial court now is to build up military equipment and focus on military affairs. We can open another martial arts department next year when the imperial court opens Enke to select good generals for the imperial court."

Having said this, Qitai stood up, took out a pamphlet from his arms, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, martial arts has been around for a long time, but our government has not formulated a detailed system. I work hard and sleep all night. , I wrote down some of my humble opinions and asked Your Majesty to read it."

The two sang together, as if they were playing a double reed.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." As soon as Qi Tai finished speaking, Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, also got up and said: "Regarding the matter of launching the martial arts, although Lord Qi and Lord Huang did not discuss with the minister in advance, they coincided with the minister. I also intend to ask Your Majesty to teach a subject of martial arts." He took out a thick booklet from his sleeve and raised his hands in front of him: "These are some ideas that I have thought of, please Your Majesty to read."

"This..." Zhu Yunwen and Qi Tai both frowned.

Qi Tai frowned because he didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world. He thought hard for several months before he came up with a good strategy for martial arts, and planned to use it to become the Minister of the Ministry of War. up?Or did someone leak the news?

Qi Tai couldn't help but glanced at Huang Zicheng suspiciously, and saw him also in a daze.

Zhu Yunwen from above looked around at Ruyu and Qitai, but he was thinking about another question.

Qi Tai is the left servant of the Ministry of War, and according to his position, he is Ru Zhen's subordinate.The matter of martial arts is not a trivial matter.According to what Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Ru Yu said, Qi Tai discussed it with Huang Zicheng, but he didn't mention it to Ru Yu?
Zhu Yunqi is now the emperor. From the emperor's point of view, this small detail has violated two taboos in his heart: exceeding his authority and disrespecting his superiors, and forming a party.

Qi Tai does not discuss with Ru Yu when something happens, which is called arrogance. In the words of later generations, it means "jumping to the higher level and reporting without leadership." No matter ancient or modern, it is a taboo in the workplace and politics.

Moreover, Qi Tai is an official of the Ministry of War, and Huang Zicheng is a civil servant of the Imperial Academy. The two are colleagues in name, but in fact they belong to two systems that have nothing to do with each other.Why do they have to discuss with each other?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunqi's face gradually became gloomy.

. . . . . .

"I don't know who will cut out the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors. Good poetry, good poetry."

"What else can you do when you know how to write sour poetry all day long?"

"Then what do you do besides fighting and killing?" In the spacious carriage, Zhu Gaosui retorted at his second brother Zhu Gaoxi: "Second brother, there are fourteen characters in this poem, is there any one you don't know?" Third brother, let me teach you?"

"I'll go to you..." Zhu Gaoxi was furious, and was about to strike, Zhu Gaochi who was beside him shouted in a low voice: "Enough! It seems that we are going to the capital, what did the father and Master Daoyan say, you all forgot Is it in the back of your head?!"

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten." Zhu Gaosui replied with a smile: "Third brother, I have read a few books anyway, and my brain is enough, how could I forget?"

"Do you dare to say that my brain is not enough?!" Zhu Gaoxu wanted to do it again.

Zhu Gaochi's face darkened: "Entering Beijing is like entering a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, surrounded by powerful enemies outside. If the two of you are still making trouble, don't you really get bored?"

"Hmph." Zhu Gaosui tilted his head, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Zhu Gaoxu leaned back angrily, took a sip of a small jar of wine, and muttered: "Isn't it just that I came out a little earlier, why are you putting on big brother airs?"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were fixed, and he took a deep look at Zhu Gaoxi.

Among the three brothers, Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui were originally at odds, but the relationship between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxi was actually pretty good.It's just that since Zhu Di sent the three of them to Beijing to express their condolences, the situation has been a little different.

Although Zhu Gaoxi is a big five and three rough, but there are still a few shrewd people under his command.Originally, I thought that my father might want to rebel, but I was just not sure.This time, the father refused to enter the capital because of illness, which further showed that there was a ghost in his heart, and it also made him completely understand that the father really wanted to be ninety-five, and he. . .It may not be impossible to fight for that golden seat, especially when there is only one big brother who is as fat as a pig and has weak legs.

When the mind is together, the ambition will be difficult to calm down, and the former brothers and sisters have become the current three kingdoms contending for hegemony.Interestingly, the supposedly strong eldest son corresponds to Shu, the weakest of the Three Kingdoms.There is no other reason, Zhu Di finds him the most unpleasant.

Also, among the three sons, one is good at martial arts and the other is good at literature. Only Zhu Gaochi is disgusting in appearance, but legally he is still his successor, so some things are inevitable.

"Sir."

A shrill voice came from outside the carriage.

Hearing that it was Ma Sanbao, his personal eunuch, Zhu Gaochi lifted the curtain: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty." Ma Sanbao was riding beside him, and said softly, "It's getting late, and there seems to be some distance to the next town. There is a small forest ahead, or you can rest in the forest tonight."

Zhu Gaochi moved his body with great effort, and looked forward with his head. There was a dense poplar forest in the distance: "Okay, you can arrange it. Remember to let a few people go in to investigate first, and there are no strong people."

"The servant understands."

Ma Sanbao agreed, then whipped the horse and headed towards the dense forest.

Zhu Di sent a total of 35 guards to his son, including 36 guards including Ma Sanbao.Although there are not many people, all of them are experts in the military and in the world.So Ma Sanbao went alone, not afraid of any problems here.

The grove looks not far away, but Wangshan Mountain is actually not too close, maybe more than ten miles away.The carriage moved slowly, and the team was still far away when Ma Sanbao arrived in front of the forest.

Ma Sanbao raised his voice and shouted: "A handful of water is coming from south to north, and the yellow people want to rest here. There are fierce tigers roaring in the forest here, and there are white rabbits here. Please help me."

What Ma Sanbao said was the black language of the green forest, which probably means that the people on his side want to rest in the forest. If there is a strongman in the forest, he is willing to offer some money, hoping that there will be no conflict.

A handful of water means that the number of people is less than a hundred, yellow people means that they are related to the emperor, and their background is not small, and white rabbits mean silver.

Although my own side is strong, but as the saying goes, there is no way to enter the forest, the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, even if you do mental calculations or carelessly, you will not suffer, but you are afraid of trouble, so Ma Sanbao first said it softly and hard, it is a test water.Not to mention, I have already spent nearly a thousand taels of silver on this along the way, and I really avoided many thieves.

Ma Sanbao yelled twice, and when he was about to yell for the third time, he heard a gloomy voice from the forest: "Ma Sanbao? Is your master Ma Qinggong, deputy head of Tianmen?"

"Who?" Ma Sanbao was startled, the existence of Tianmen is extremely mysterious, and his master only revealed his identity when he was dying, and left an explanation, how could someone in this forest say nothing about his identity?
Ma Sanbao didn't show any emotion on his face, and shouted loudly: "Which friend is in the forest, please show up and see him. It is indeed Ma Sanbao, but I don't know Ma Qinggong."

Ma Sanbao was talking here, but his ears were pricked up, and he listened attentively to the movement in the forest.He is sure that as long as the people in the forest speak out again, he will be able to find out its position!
