A group of ministers stood outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for the palace gate to open.●⌒, they were all wearing purple robes, all of whom were high-ranking officials and important officials above the third rank. Everyone stood together in groups of three or three, and the Privy Councilor Fu Shan stood beside the teacher, chief assistant Yuan Jixian, and next to him was the governor of Zhili Liu Yunsheng.

"I heard that the thief and Qin Ni had an internal conflict?" Liu Yunsheng said with a smile. Although his Governor's Office had moved to Baoding, he still stayed in the capital. It was not that he would not leave, but that the emperor kept him.

"You have to ask Admiral Feng."

Fu Shan's mouth faces Feng Shengnunu on the side.

As the emperor's old brother, Feng Sheng controlled the Jinyiwei. Not long ago, the Jinyiwei commander was promoted to the rank of admiral, becoming a first-rank military general and promoted to the rank of general.

Although many officials have proposed to remove the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang Factory, these two yamen have been operating until now, and the grades of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang Factory have even been greatly improved. Especially the Jinyiwei, the scale of the Jinyiwei has not decreased but has a tendency to expand. Nowadays, the Jinyiwei is basically responsible for intelligence affairs.

Feng Sheng is in a good mood recently. Not only has he been promoted to admiral and promoted to general, but he has also just been granted the title of marquis. Even if it is not the founding marquis but the founding marquis, he is also a marquis.

Hearing the thief, he nodded.

"Indeed, after the defeat of Luoyang, the thief fled to Shaanxi, and wanted to enter Luoyang. As a result, the Western pseudo-Qin King refused to let him enter the city. He just asked someone to station outside the city and sent someone to reward the wine and meat, but secretly dispatched troops to prepare to siege and kill the thief. Unexpectedly, the thief was very cunning and had already been alert, so he let him fight all the way and escape. However, the thousands of remaining soldiers were also seriously injured, and it is said that only more than 500 cavalry left to escape. Even the thief's wife Gao was captured alive."

When Liu Yunsheng heard this, he smiled and shook his head. It was now, and these thieves were still biting dogs.

"That's not it." Feng Sheng smiled, "The thief is now hiding into the mountains, hiding his tracks, and not knowing where to hide."

"What's going on in Guanzhong now?"

"Zhu Cunji has already claimed to be a ruling country." Feng Sheng said. When he said this, there was no smile on his face.

"Zhu Cunji, I remember that King Qin was Zhu Cunji." Yuan Jixian said,

Feng Sheng replied helplessly. "It was indeed Zhu Cunji's original, but now it is Zhu Cunji."

Zhu Cunji and Zhu Cunji are brothers, both of whom were the sons of Zhu Yichen, the 10th and 13th Qin King of the Ming Dynasty, and were also concubines. Zhu Yichen was the thirteenth Qin King. When he was in power, the eldest son of the concubine, Zhu Cunshu, served as the crown prince. However, the crown prince died in the second year of Chongzhen, so when Zhu Yichen died in the tenth year of Chongzhen, the second son of the crown prince, Zhu Cunji, succeeded to the throne.

The Jinyiwei had already had secret contact with Zhu Cunji before and tried to persuade him to surrender. Zhu Cunji was indeed determined to surrender. The Qin soldiers besieged Li Zicheng, which was also launched by Zhu Cunji under the arrangement of the Jinyiwei.

However, the matter was a little out of control. Zhu Cunji sent people to surround Li Zicheng. In a big battle, both of them were defeated and injured themselves. Li Zicheng fled with hundreds of people, and Zhu Cunji's guards also suffered heavy losses. At this time, many people in Xi'an who were unwilling to surrender secretly supported Zhu Cunji's brothers, and Zhu Yichen's third son had a palace transformation.

Zhu Cunji was captured and executed by Zhu Cunji and others who broke into the palace.

Then Zhu Cunji was embraced as the governor.

This incident caught the Jinyiwei off guard and suffered heavy losses. They spent a lot of effort on Zhu Cunji, and they saw that Zhu Cunji was about to surrender to the court, but this happened.

Fu Shan also knew about this. He comforted Feng Shengdao, "Governor Zheng has arrived in Luoyang. He will be able to enter the pass soon. Those guys who overestimate themselves want to be the king and restore the throne, which is just seeking death."

Feng Sheng also smiled and said, "There are many things about these bullshits. Zhu Changxun's crown prince Zhu Yousong also showed up. He escaped from Luoyang without knowingly, and did not follow Li Zicheng to Xi'an, but went to Hanzhong. He also asked him to find Luo Rucai. Now Luo Rucai is holding Zhu Yousong in Hanzhong and ascended the throne."

"In addition, Mu Tianbo from Yunnan also supported the Tang Dynasty's regent."

"King of Tang?"

"Isn't the King of Tang in Nanyang? And Governor Li reported before that the rebellion of the King of Tang had been pacified and captured alive?" Liu Yunsheng asked.

"It's not the Tang King, but the former Tang King."

The King of Tang that Feng Sheng mentioned was Zhu Youjian, the fief of the Tang King of Tang for generations. In short, he was the eighth-generation grandson of Zhu Ju, the 23rd son of the Ming Dynasty's Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Youjian's grandfather, the old King Tang, favored his concubines, so he also favored his sons born to his concubines. He hated Zhu Youjian's father, Zhu Qiying, the then crown prince. Therefore, he secretly imprisoned Zhu Youjian's father in the Flattery Department, trying to starve their father and son to death. At that time, Zhu Youjian was only twelve years old.

Fortunately, a small official helped to deliver some brown rice at that time, but he didn't starve to death, but he had been trapped in this cage for sixteen years. However, during these sixteen years, Zhu Youjian was still suffering, without despair, and without wasting time.

The father and son have been withered for 16 years, but they are about to make it happen, but they are poisoned to death by their younger brother who is eager to assault the throne of the Tang Dynasty in the second year of Chongzhen. However, the old King of Tang is still preparing to grant the son of his concubine the crown prince, and wants to abolish Zhu Youjian's status as crown prince.

Fortunately, when he was paying condolences to Chen Qiyu, a local official in Nanyang, he warned the King of Tang. The old King of Tang was afraid of being investigated in the future, so he quickly appointed Zhu Youjian as his grandson. The old King of Tang died in the same year, and Zhu Youjian was awarded the title of King of Tang.

Among the Ming clans, Zhu Youjian was a tougher person than Chongzhen. After the title of the clan, he would show his edge. Not only did he have many conflicts with the court officials, offended many ministers, but he also avenged his father and killed two uncles, King Fushan and King Anyang. Then when the Qing army invaded in the ninth year of Chongzhen, he even submitted a memorial to request the king to serve.

Chongzhen refused, but he ignored the national law that the vassal kings were not allowed to take charge of the troops, so he recruited soldiers and then led the troops from Nanyang to the north to serve the king.

Halfway through the road, he was blocked by local officials, and Chongzhen ordered his return. Zhu Youjian had to lead his army back. The Qing army did not see him. He fought several battles with the bandits on the way, but they also won and lost each other.

As a result, when Zhu Youjian, who was determined to serve the king, returned to Nanyang, he was deposed as a commoner by Chongzhen. He also sent the Jinyiwei to imprison him in the royal prison in Fengyang, and then changed his brother Zhu Jiance to the King of Tang.

During Zhu Youjian's imprisonment in Fengyang, the eunuch asked for bribes, refused to give them, was tortured, and did not accept them. He stayed in Fengyang for another five years.

After Liu Jun became emperor, officials in Jiangbei planned to raise troops to support the king. Shi Kefa, Lu Zhenfei and other officials secretly took Zhu Youjian out of Fengyang Prison. As a result, Jiangbei's rebellion was soon discovered by the Jinyiwei, and Shi Kefa and others were taken away. Lu Zhenfei happened to be with Zhu Youjian at the time. When he heard the news, he immediately took him to disguise himself and escaped.

This time I left, there was no news for most of the year.

No one expected that Lu Zhenfei would actually take Zhu Youjian all the way to Yunnan and find Mu Tianbo. When Luoyang was broken, Zhu Changxun was captured, and Luoyang ******* was destroyed. Mu Tianbo, Lu Zhenfei and some southwest chieftains joined Zhu Youjian to supervise the country.

"So, just destroyed a fake emperor Zhu Changxun, and another fake emperor Zhu Yousong came out soon, and there were two more prisoners?"

"It's not that. Alas, I don't know what they are thinking. What they are trying to do is to make a fuss." Feng Sheng sighed.

Liu Yunsheng comforted, "No matter how hard they make trouble, they are also grasshoppers in the autumn. They can't make trouble for a few days."

The drum sounded, and the palace gate slowly opened. Yuan Jixian and others stopped talking and put on their clothes and entered the palace together.

Go to the study room.

Liu Jun pondered the Yuqilin paperweight on the table table for a while.

"The internal strife of the traitors is a good thing. It seems that the rebellion is just around the corner."

Liu Jun was not worried about the fight against the rebellion. There were three armies attacking, so what was there to worry about in this group of playful rebellions?

"The Ministry of Revenue is divided into three departments. What are your recommendations for the candidates for the three departments?"

Liu Jun had discussed this Sansiqing with several important officials including Yuan Jixian in advance. The Sansiqing was extremely important, otherwise the emperor would not have divided the Ministry of Revenue into the Sansiqing.

Yuan Jixian said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Lu Weizhang as Secretary of Finance."

Lu Weizhang is the queen's father. He has been looking at the bank for the emperor over the years and is quite proficient in finance. Letting Lu Weizhang be the Secretary of Finance was originally Liu Jun's intention. It was just that Yuan Jixian, the chief minister, came to propose to avoid opposition from other ministers.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Hubei governor Zhao Cheng as Secretary of Taxation." Liu Yunsheng also recommended a candidate.

Zhao Cheng was once Liu Jun's old boss. Liu Jun served as the first official position, Macheng General Manager, was proposed by Mei Zhihuan and agreed to. At that time, Zhao Cheng was a military preparation. Later, Liu Jun was promoted all the way, and he also recommended Zhao Cheng to be promoted all the way. Now he is the Hubei governor.

It is naturally reassuring to transfer him to the court and serve as the important position of the tax secretary.

The chief minister Yuan Jixian and Zhili Governor Liu Yunsheng recommended him, but the others were of course not easy to object.

Liu Jun smiled and said, "Lu Weizhang is the Secretary of Finance and Zhao Cheng is the Secretary of Taxation. It's very good. I think it's feasible. As for the Secretary of Civil Affairs, I think it's better to be Li Banghua."

This important San Siqing was determined.

The remaining candidates for the junior ministers of various departments such as grain, salt, customs, and postal were also determined one by one.

By now, the pattern of the court has changed greatly.

The cabinet and the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of

The functions of each yamen have also changed.

Dali Temple is equivalent to the Supreme Court, the Censorate is equivalent to the Supreme Court of Procuratorate and the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the Ministry of Justice is equivalent to the Ministry of Political Science and Law Committee and the Ministry of Public Security.

However, compared with these changes, the biggest change is the two departments of the Prime Minister's Office and the Military Affairs Office.

These two departments sounded like only the emperor's consultative bodies, but in fact they were an important means for Liu Jun to centralize power. The cabinet still had votes to propose power, the rank of the ranks of the ranks and the ranks of the Ministry and the Temples and the Ministry, the Ministry, Court, and the Ministry, Temple, had their own duties, but Liu Jun took all the government affairs in his hands through the General Office and the Military Affairs Office.

There is no chief in the General Office and the Military Affairs Office. Liu Jun, the two yamen, has the final say. It can be said that these two yamen are actually above the cabinet and the department.

These two yamen can bypass normal procedures.

"I have assigned you three important tasks. First, with Yuan Sui Taishi Yuan as the leader, we will start to revise the Ming History. Second, the cabinet and the courts will revise the laws of the Han Dynasty. The name of this law is called the Constitution of the Han Empire. The third task is to formulate the tax laws of the Han Dynasty. These three things are the top priority and the most important. Please remember them."
