Domineering Daming

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

All of a sudden, the guards of the Forbidden Army holding torches all knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly.

Standing beside Zhu Xu, Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Cao Huachun and others also raised their hands in worship.

In the huge front yard, everyone is bowing and worshiping, and the snowflakes are constantly fluttering and changing.

A surge of pride surged in Zhu Xu's heart. With his hands behind his back, his eyes swept across the crowd, and he said loudly, "Everyone is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed again, and then got up.

Everyone can feel that from this moment, it seems that something is different.

"Come in!"

Zhu Xu suppressed the surge in his heart and said.

Everyone followed Zhu Xu into the lobby. There were heaters all around, and the lobby was much warmer.

A group of people sat down one by one, waited for tea, and after simple politeness, King Ping looked around in a blink of an eye, and said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, the suppression of the Liaodong rebellion is indeed a meritorious service for all ages. I request that the ancestor temple be opened at the end of the year to worship the emperor." Mausoleum!"

As soon as King Ping opened his mouth, King Jing immediately followed, and said in a deep voice, "Liaodong has been troubled for nearly a hundred years, I should comfort my ancestors, and my ministers agree!"

This is obvious sycophancy, praising the emperor.Wherever someone objected, they all took it for granted, and all the ministers including Zhu Youjian seconded it one after another.

Zhu Xu also needs prestige now, nodded and said: "Yes, sure."

After the first flattering, King Ping sat back satisfied.He has no ambitions, he just shows his presence, Bo Bo Dixin.

Prince Jing is an ambitious man, and he is not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. This prince did not come so legitimately. After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he continued: "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty sacrifices have always been complicated and disorderly. I think that we should sort out the sacrifices." The name, ritual and time are in order."

Zhang Weixian and Xu Wenjue looked at each other, their faces were calm and they didn't speak.What Prince Jing said was clearly aimed at highlighting the mid-year sacrifices in order to strengthen the emperor's achievements, in short, it was further flattering.

Zhu Xu glanced at him, then looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Brother Huang, what do you think?"

Zhu Youjian thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that King Jing's words are reasonable, not only the court's sacrifices, but also the Ministry of Rites, all over the country, and the countryside should also be sorted out, heaven and earth, ancestral temples, shrines, mausoleums, saints, sages, etc. , there should be a clear statement to tell the world and sacrifice it at the same time."

Zhu Xu nodded, turned to King Jing and said, "This matter will be discussed at the meeting of the Governor's Council, and it will be played in the Wenzhao Pavilion. If there is no defect, the court will discuss it and promulgate it to the world."

Prince Jing got up quickly and said, "Observe the order."

Zhu Xu also knew that there was nothing serious to talk about today, so he looked at the crowd and said solemnly: "The road is blocked by heavy snow, Mr. Sun Ge and others are discussing, going out to sea, going up the Sancha River, and going to Shenyang at noon tomorrow, everyone go to rest , what's the matter, let's talk about it in Shenyang."

It was a day and a night, and most of them were civil servants. The journey was bumpy. If it wasn't for meeting the emperor, they probably couldn't hold on long ago. Everyone got up to obey the order. Shen Yongmao arranged for them to go back to their rooms one by one to rest.

But Zhu Youjian didn't leave, just sat there without moving.

Zhu Xu was curious, looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Brother Huang, do you have other things to play?"

Zhu Youjian has calmed down along the way. This time the court pacified Liaodong, the meritorious service will be credited to the emperor. Next year, the emperor will reach the age of being in charge again. What is the need for him to exist as the regent?

However, his expression remained unchanged, looking at Zhu Xu, he said hesitantly: "I heard that the emperor intends to transfer Fan Yiheng to be the governor of Gansu. I wonder if it is true or not?"

Fan Jingwen was a student of Ye Xianggao. Although he did not do any evil during the Donglin Party cleanup last time, he was also ordered to resign.This Fan Yiheng was the magistrate of Xiangyang before, and he was highly praised by Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan and others in terms of resume and ability.

Gansu was newly established and located in a remote and impoverished place. Zhu Xu needed capable people to stabilize the situation, and Fan Yiheng was the No. 1 choice.

Zhu Xu didn't know what Zhu Youjian's plan was, so he said without concealment: "Well, I have such a plan."

Zhu Youjian said: "The governor of Shuntian Prefecture, is there anyone in the emperor's mind?"

Zhu Xu frowned, vaguely understanding.Fan Jingwen used to be a member of Wenzhaoge Zhongshushe, and it was recommended by Zhu Youjian that Zhu Xu agreed that he should be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

The Governor of Shuntian Mansion is in charge of the capital city, which is the key point of the central government, and is usually only appointed by the emperor's confidantes.

There is a very good negative example. Before Song Taizong was the prefect of Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, he had great power. After his brother Song Taizu passed away, he ascended the throne smoothly and became emperor. At that time, Song Taizu's second living son was already 25.

In short, this is a very taboo thing!

Zhu Xu also couldn't understand Zhu Youjian now, and said thoughtfully: "Who do you think is suitable, Brother Huang?"

Zhu Youjian didn't hesitate, and said: "I recommend Chen Xinjia, governor of Xuanfu."

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he understood.

This Chen Xinjia is a Juren in the 36th year of Wanli. Pay attention, he is a Juren, not a Jinshi!

In the second year of Chongzhen, he was recommended by Zhou Yingqiu and elected to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He became a doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice all the way. When Qin Liangyu purged the four towns in the north, he was valued by Qin Liangyu again. military!

Chongzhen was valued by Sun Chuanting for four years, and he dispatched governors Linghe and Linghe, who made remarkable achievements and were appreciated by many court ministers.

Because Chen Xinjia was not a Jinshi, his every move attracted a lot of attention from the ruling and opposition parties, and Zhu Xu also paid attention to it.

Hearing that Chen Xinjia was recommended by Zhu Youjian, Zhu Xu didn't know if Chen Xinjia was from Zhu Youjian, but he didn't care, nodded and said, "Since he was recommended by Brother Huang, I'm sure."

Zhu Youjian let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the words. Zhu Xu even agreed to this request, which means that he has no plans to abolish Wenzhao Pavilion.

But after all, he still had to ask clearly. He thanked him, and then said in a deep voice: "The emperor will be in charge next year. Regarding Wenzhao Pavilion, what is the emperor's plan?"

Zhu Xu smiled secretly, this is the point he wanted to ask, he slapped his knee with his right hand, and said without hesitation: "Although Wenzhao Pavilion came according to the late emperor's edict, the emperor has devoted himself to doing things for Daming and me all these years. There are a lot of things. I also know that there are a lot of rumors and gossips outside, so you don’t need to take it seriously. When you arrive in Shenyang tomorrow, I will send a decree to let the emperor and the members of the Wenzhao Pavilion move into the original cabinet, and the cabinet members will also increase the title of bachelor.”

This is equivalent to turning Zhu Youjian, the short-term regent, into a real cabinet minister!

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the six ministries and nine monasteries all need to report all government affairs to the cabinet!Even the cabinet has great power to appoint officials!

Although Jingyang Palace may not be willing to truly delegate this kind of power to the cabinet, it also shows that the emperor has no suspicion, nor does he want to abolish Wenzhao Pavilion!

Zhu Youjian is a person with great ambitions and wholeheartedly wants to rejuvenate Daming. Even though the emperor has pacified Liaodong, Daming is far from prosperous. Zhu Youjian still has a lot of things to do!

Hearing Zhu Xu's words, Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, bowed his body and said: "I thank the emperor, I wish to be the emperor, I wish to be the Ming Dynasty, I will do my best, and I will die!"

Zhu Xu never doubted this point, and said with a little support: "Brother Huang, please forgive me, you and my brothers are both the grandsons of the Taizu, so we should work together to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youjian was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head vigorously and said "huh".

Zhu Xu said a few words to Zhu Youjian in a comforting manner, and then let Zhu Youjian go to rest.

Sitting in the lobby, Zhu Xu also let out a long breath. He could only secretly say sorry to the emperor brother.

"Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli both entered, with worried expressions on their faces.

Zhu Xu looked at the two and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

The two looked at each other, and Yuan Keli said: "Your Majesty, the sea is frozen, and the Navy's ship is stuck on the shore, and there is no way to go out to sea."
