Xiyuan, Yuxi Palace.

The important ministers in the main hall were all shocked... What is this? The three-year-old nephew of the emperor is supervising the country, and the two-year-old King Xin went to the grassland to become the king of Sai! What happened to the Ming Dynasty when there was no one?

?If Huang Taiji knew about this, he wouldn't have mobilized all his troops to seize the Ming Dynasty!

"Long live my Lord," Huang Liji, the chief minister of the cabinet, stood up bravely, "Although it is an ancient practice for the emperor to supervise the country after the emperor goes to war, the emperor's nephew is only three years old after all... three

Sui Jianguo is really a bit of a joke, please take your Majesty's order back."

The chief minister took the lead, and a group of ministers below could not back down. They all came out to announce: "My nephew is too young to serve as the supervisor of the country. Please take back your order!"

Zhu Youjian looked at the group of ministers below who spoke insincerely, and he was very angry - you traitorous ministers really don't like children to be in charge of the country? Children are easy to be deceived! I was deceived by you people in my previous life.

I have no direction, but fortunately my son has been cunning and wise since he was a child, and is different from ordinary people...

Zhu Youjian issued an order in a calm voice: "The great nephew of Emperor Xuan and King Xin go to the palace!"

The two brothers Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Cixuan were in the back hall of Yuxi Palace. They were led by the charter king Wei Shanggong. After hearing the call, Wei Shanggong hurriedly called the two children to meet their father. Zhu Cixuan really looked like an older brother.

He waved to Zhu Cixuan, who was only two years old and staggered when he walked, "Brother Xin, follow me!"

Zhu Cixuan was really obedient, and Pidianpidian followed his brother. Under the supervision of Wei Shanggong, the two brothers arrived at the front hall of Yuxi Palace one after another.

Not to mention, the way these two children walk is really regal. Zhu Cixuan walks with a swagger, while Zhu Cixuan walks with a sway.

When the ministers below saw them coming, they had no choice but to bow down and pay their respects to the two children.

Zhu Cihong imitated Zhu Youjian and said in a low voice: "Pingshen..."

Zhu Cixuan followed his brother's example, "Ping, Pingping..."

After the two children finished speaking, they stood on the left and right sides of Zhu Youjian's dragon chair. Zhu Cixuan still looked angry, looking at a group of ministers coldly, as if he was very dissatisfied. Zhu Cixuan smiled stupidly,

Seems quite happy.

Zhu Youjian looked at his two sons and said to himself: The eldest is still so fierce...the second is just following his mother and being stupid.

Zhu Youjian coughed and said: "There is a saying in the book of ministers: trust in clear righteousness, respect virtue and reward merit, and the world will be governed...Although my great nephew is young, he has begun to trust righteousness and respect merit.

. Even though you are young and know little now, everything you did while assisting your great nephew to supervise the country will be recorded. When your great nephew grows up, you will naturally know how to reward merit and punishment. As long as you all fulfill your duties, your great nephew will

Why can't we just rule from the top? Huang Liji, after my southern tour of Shaanxi, can you be a good chief assistant and help my nephew to govern the country well?"

What Zhu Youjian said actually means this - my nephew is still young and can only be cured. Whether he can be cured depends on you traitors. Those who can do it should do it well, and those who can't do it should resign now!

When I come back, I will examine your behavior. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, be prepared to be punished!

"Your Majesty..." How could Huang Liji dare to take on this responsibility? He had no ability to be the chief assistant. In the past few years, he had just managed to cope with the situation and acted as a minister of the three decrees.

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian didn't have high requirements for the chief assistant in the past, so Huang Liji could still get by. But now he has to let the emperor's nephew take over... In this way, the responsibility of the chief assistant

It’s heavy!

"I have little talent and little virtue, and I am very old. I am afraid that I might miss important national affairs..." Huang Liji resigned.

"Who else doesn't want to do it?" Zhu Youjian said, "In the past few years, the weather in the northwest and the Central Plains has become increasingly dry, and the slave thieves in the northeast have become more and more arrogant. In addition, there are often thieves in the northwest... state affairs

It's difficult! If any of you feel that your virtue is not worthy of your position, you can raise your objection now. I will let you retire from office and ensure your happiness in your old age."

It has to be said that after more than fifty years of "re-reading" with Nizi, Zhu Youjian became a lot more kind and considerate of the traitorous ministers below.

"I am old, so please retire to Shanquan." Li Guo, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of Punishment, also stepped forward to resign. Like Huang Liji, he was promoted by Wei Zhongxian and has been promoted by Wei Zhongxian.

Sun Chengzong had been scolding the eunuchs for several years, and it was time to retreat.

Zhu Youjian nodded, "Is there any more?"

"Your Majesty, I am also old. I am almost 70 years old this year." Shi Fenglai, a bachelor of Jianji Palace and the Minister of Rites, also hurriedly asked to retire... Long live the Lord, I can say: I will retire from official service and ensure peace and happiness in my old age!

Zhu Youjian smiled and said to himself: Counting Zhang Ruitu, who retired to go home to paint, and Feng Quan, who was the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, the few elders left by Wei Zhongxian have all retired this time...

.

"Okay, now is an extraordinary period, and I won't be polite to you anymore." Zhu Youjian nodded, and then looked at Sun Chengzong, the censor of Zuodu, "Mr. Huang Ge, Mr. Shi Ge, Mr. Li Ge, and the former Rong Rong.

Mr. Zhang Ge, who is retired, has washed his hands in a golden basin and cannot impeach them again in the future."

Wash your hands in a golden basin...Okay, you can wash your hands in a golden basin when you are an official!

Zhu Youjian paused, "Three of the six elders have passed away...Who wants to take over their job?"

What is this? Is there an open recruitment for senior executives?

Of course there are people who want to be a cabinet minister. Who doesn’t want to be a civil servant in the Ming Dynasty? But to stand up publicly and say that I want to be a cabinet minister... seems to be a bit too official-minded.

So as soon as Zhu Youjian's words came out, there was a bit of a chill below.

However, it didn't last long. Hanlin scholar Qian Qianyi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Sun Chengzong, the censor of Zuodu, to join the cabinet."

He wanted to recommend Sun Chengzong to be the chief assistant, and then follow him in to prepare for Sun Chengzong's replacement - Sun Chengzong is almost 70 years old, how many days can he be the elder?

Zhu Youji glanced at Sun Chengzong. The old man still looked full of joy and anger... Becoming a pavilion boss? Let's forget it!

"Your Majesty," the King, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace and the Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up on the Jin horse, "I recommend Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to join the cabinet!"

The Ministry of War cannot have two cabinet ministers. Zhang Fengyi joined the cabinet and Wang Zaijin did not withdraw from the cabinet. Then one of them must leave the Ministry of War.

Wang Zaijin and Sun Chengzong were of the same age, and both were veterans in their seventies. Moreover, he entered the official position 20 years earlier than Sun Chengzong. With his qualifications, of course he had to be promoted to chief minister!

Zhu Youjian nodded: "There is still one person missing...who among you would like to recommend?"

"Your Majesty," said Wen Tirendao, a bachelor of Wuying Palace and the Minister of Household Affairs, "Zhang Yiming, the governor of Xuanda, is well-versed in border affairs and has military exploits. He should join the cabinet."

"Zhang Yiming should indeed serve as the senior minister..." Zhu Youjian paused, "Then Wang Zaijin will be the first assistant to the Zhongji Palace and the official secretary, and Wen Tiren will be promoted to the second assistant to the Jianji Palace and the minister of rites.

, Zhang Fengyi should be a scholar of the Wenhua Palace and the Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Yiming should be a scholar of the Wuying Palace and the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Xu Guangqi should also be in charge of the Ministry of Punishment and the Wenyuan Pavilion, and Sun Chengzong should be a scholar of the Dongge Palace and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Well, give Sun Chengzong the youngest Dongge Bachelor...

"Qian Qianyi," Zhu Youjian called Qian Qianyi's name again, "I'll give you the censor of Zuodu left by Sun Chengzong... and give it to me to supervise all the officials!"

Even if this round of power reshuffle is over, although the Donglin Party once again missed the position of chief minister, it is not too ugly. Sun Chengzong entered the cabinet, Xu Guangqi was promoted, and Qian Qianyi also received a lot of money and power.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate...

After Zhu Youjian arranged the personnel issues of the cabinet and the procuratorate, he pointed to King Xin Zhu Cixuan who had fallen asleep at some time and said: "The matter of nephew supervising the country has been decided. Now let's discuss how King Xin will leave the town."

Let's do it... Even though King Xin's mother, the noble concubine, has been in military affairs for a long time and is familiar with grassland affairs, the King of Sai cannot rely solely on his mother to assist him in becoming a feudal lord. He must also be accompanied by important ministers. Who in the court can do this?

Once? If you are not sure, you can recommend foreign ministers, regardless of whether they are civil or military."

Well, the three-year-old grand nephew has now imprisoned the country, and the two-year-old Wang Ye really wants to take the vassal out of town... The national destiny of the Ming Dynasty seems to be really hanging in the balance!
