As soon as Zhu Youjian's words came out, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty became noisy.Prior to this, all officials in Nanjing had always regarded the peasant army as a natural enemy. They hid in the south of the Yangtze River, and they didn't even think that Jin would come over.

It was only on this day that the emperor had officially declared that Hou Jin was an enemy, but this declaration of war was at the political level, not a military declaration of war.

For example, I don't list you as a strategic partner.

The emperor's words shocked everyone, and everyone realized that the war was coming soon, and it was a very terrible opponent.

"Dare to ask all my lovers, how to defend against the enemy?" Zhu Youjian looked coldly at the bottom of the steps, and a large group of people stared at Shi Kefa.

Until this time, this lovely Minister of the Ministry of War has still not thought about this issue.

He always thought that Zhu Youjian's actions in Jiangbei were just to gather military power, capture Liu Zeqing, and persuade Liu Liangzuo. On the surface, it seemed that they were worried about the military power of these generals.

Shi Kefa was surprised, he found that he had overlooked an important thing, why did Zhu Youjian stay in Shandong for so long.

Zhu Youjian completely took Shi Kefa's expression into his eyes, and really felt the turbulent heart of this national hero.

"Since the great war is approaching, we must prepare for it. I have decided to form a new cabinet. All my Ming energy will be directed towards the war."

Another blockbuster exploded in the Hall of Martial Heroes.Zhu Youjian's first appearance brought too much information to everyone.

"I think that while defending against the enemy, don't forget to educate the people. In this way, everyone in our Ming Dynasty will be enlightened." Qian Qianyi stood up and said what he thought he was most proud of.

The enemy has already hit the door of the house, and he is still thinking about relying on Confucian scriptures to defend against the enemy.

"Okay! Then, Master Qian, please go to the capital with your mouth and tell the Tartars to go, and let them return the capital to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Youjian was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Qian Qianyi blushed.

Chapter 1 Sixteen: Eating Dumplings on New Year's Day

Regarding Qian Qianyi's official hidden character, Zhu Youjian was also speechless.

In fact, this is a common problem of many Confucian intellectuals, who do not seek to be down-to-earth, but only to be arrogant.

"Those who work with their minds rule others, and those who work hard with others!" comes from "Teng Wen Gong Zhang Ju Shang" in "Mencius".This sentence has deeply influenced scholars for thousands of years.

After reading the book, you will become a manager, you don't have to do anything, you just need to direct others, until you want to direct the emperor, how the pope governs the country.

It's just that this kind of thinking was deeply buried in the bottom of my heart, and on the surface it became a learned martial arts and sold to the emperor's house.It's a pity that people's ambitions are so great that they are not only sold to the emperor, but also want to be the emperor's teacher.

Zhu Youjian remembered Wang Hong's words from later generations: I can't be a rich man, but I can be a rich man's father!Changing here is: I can't be the emperor, but I can be the emperor and his teacher.

Subconsciously, you see, I am better than the emperor!

When Qian Qianyi heard that Zhu Youjian was going to form a new cabinet, he was eager to express himself, for fear that he would be squeezed out of the cabinet.

However, in fact, Zhu Youjian did not really intend to push Qian Qianyi out of the cabinet.At least not now.

As the leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi still has a role to play.Although the party struggle is hateful, you can't kill all Donglin Party with one stick because of its disadvantages. If this is the case, almost no one can use Zhu Youjian.

Perhaps, some people will feel that there are so many time-travel novels, and many of the protagonists have trained many capable officials by themselves, which is not the same as taking over the world.

Zhu Youjian felt that this approach would not work in his time travel story.People who can stand out from the crowd in a society are more or less elite members of the society, and they cannot be cultivated by just finding a few low-level people.

You can abandon a complete betrayer, but you can't give up any one who can be won.

Although Qian Qianyi had some shortcomings in his original history, he was also a nationalist who helped the rebel forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

He is not as bloody as Shi Kefa who sacrificed his life for righteousness, but he also has a patriotic heart.

"The new cabinet should take preparations for war as its primary goal, formulate a strategy to defend against the enemy, and take it as its duty to protect our Ming dynasty."

Zhu Youjian proposed the role of the new cabinet, and at the same time, his eyes kept shooting the big and small officials under the stage.

"Wang Chengen, declare the decree!"

"By God's will...the new cabinet does not have a first assistant, but two second assistants: Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying; cabinet assistants: Zhu Yujian, Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong, Zuo Maodi, Huang Duanbo, Gao Hongtu..."

After Zhu Youjian's official appearance, the cabinet was directly expanded to eight people. It can be said that Donglin is the biggest gain.On the face of it, the original Ruan Dacheng was directly eliminated. Except for Zhu Yujian who was a clan member, only Ma Shiying was left as an eunuch.

What's more, in the current cabinet, not only Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi, who is obviously a bigwig of Donglin, but also Chen Zilong, the leader of Fushe.

In fact, Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that among these people, Qian Qianyi was the only one who could really be called Donglin.Including Shi Kefa and Chen Zilong, according to Zhu Youjian's observation, they are not partisan.

And the so-called eunuch leader Ma Shiying is not a real eunuch.Similarly, Ma Shiying just couldn't understand Donglin's behavior.

After Wang Chengen announced the decree, Zhu Youjian stood up and walked slowly among the ministers.

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. In the capital, there is a folk custom of eating dumplings. I really wronged everyone by calling my lovers here today. I am here to apologize to my lovers."

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he bowed to the ministers once.This time, everyone was stunned again.Since the founding of the country, no emperor has really condescended to bow to the emperor. Only ministers kneel to the emperor, and no emperor has ever bowed to a minister.

"Come here! Serve the dumplings."

As Zhu Youjian's voice settled down, another group of court ladies filed in, bringing in trays of steaming dumplings.

There are no tables, chairs or benches in the Hall of Martial Heroes. Old Zhu's family always stands facing the emperor when they go to court. The only person who can sit and talk in the hall is the emperor.

"Sit, everyone sit." Zhu Youjian took a plate of dumplings first, and sat on the steps with his buttocks, picked up the whitest and largest one with his chopsticks, and bit down without caring about his image.

Everyone saw that the emperor was like this, so don't worry about it.Immediately, in the entire Hall of Martial Arts, everyone sat on the floor, and there was a sound of gobbling.

"It's a pity that there is no old Shanxi vinegar." Zhu Youjian said while eating, a little emotional: "When we regain the old mountains and rivers, I invite you to go to Shanxi to eat dumplings."

Wang Chengen stood aside, secretly wiping away tears.Whether it was Zhu Youjian before or the current Zhu Youjian, he has witnessed all the way.

Zhu Youjian walked slowly to Shi Kefa's side, pulled a few dumplings from his own plate, and put them into Shi Kefa's bowl.

"Shi Aiqing is tired. I can see all your hard work. Xuzhou will continue to rely on Aiqing."

When Shi Kefa got excited, he swallowed the dumpling in his mouth abruptly, and his mouth was a little bit suffocated.Thinking about the past six months, no matter what Zhu Youjian thought about him at the beginning, he went to Xuzhou three times to persuade Gao Jie, and he worked hard without complaint.

"Ma Aiqing, you are the same. Prince Nandu, you have contributed a lot. The government, Aiqing will continue to suffer." Zhu Youjian turned around and put some dumplings into Ma Shiying's bowl.

Ma Shiying was a little flattered. If it was said that he had selfish motives when he supported King Fu, then the matter of the crown prince supervising the country has little to do with him.After all, the emperor Zhu Youjian did not abdicate.

On the contrary, after showing his loyalty, Zhu Youjian reused him decisively. From the governor of Fengyang to the current second assistant, Ma Shiying has been promoted step by step.

"Qian Aiqing, your poetry is really good. I originally intended you to lead the literary world, but the imperial court cannot do without the scholars in Jiangnan. I still need to rely on Aiqing to persuade the scholars in Jiangnan to serve the country."

Qian Qianyi never expected that he was the third person to receive Zhu Youjian's dumplings.This point hit his heart all of a sudden, Qian Qianyi raised his head, quite proud.

"Gao Aiqing, you will write me a separate memorial later, and I want to hear your advice." Zhu Youjian knew a little about Gao Hongtu, and this person made a very good suggestion to Hong Guangchao, that is: contact North Korea, together against gold.

Among the eight members of the cabinet, Zhu Youjian believes that Shi Kefa is only suitable for united front work, Ma Shiying is suitable for internal affairs, Zhu Yujian appeases the clan, Qian Qianyi engages in propaganda, Chen Zilong is trained as a backup chief assistant, and Huang Duanbo and Gao Hongtu are mainly in charge of foreign affairs.

There is only one person that Zhu Youjian thinks can be discussed about military affairs, and that is Zuo Maodi.Zuo Maodi is an undisguised general. He comes from a family of military generals, has unique insights into the situation, has a resolute personality, and takes the lead in battles but not in peace.This is a must-have character for a military leader.
