As soon as Zhou Yingqiu finished speaking, Bi Ziyan's expression slightly condensed and his eyes were sharp.

He just made a little test, but he didn't expect Zhou Yingqiu to react so directly that he would not allow him to intervene in the Ministry of Personnel!

The others were also secretly shocked. Master Bi Ge obviously wanted to put his hand into the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhou Yingqiu decisively refused!

Bi Ge is the chief minister of the cabinet and the imperial tutor, but he is far inferior to Zhou Yingqiu in real power. Zhou Yingqiu has been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for many years, and is in charge of the world, and is deeply trusted by the emperor. If these two people fight, it is hard to say who wins and who loses!

When Sun Chengzong saw this, he did not give anyone else a chance to respond and said directly: "Yuan Renxiao, Wei Xuelian must be suspended first and temporarily intend to be transferred. The Ministry of Personnel and the Governor of the State Council cannot be suspended. For details, wait until the official and Master Bi met the emperor before taking action." He knew that this matter could not be discussed and must be concluded as soon as possible.

Zhou Yingqiu didn't say anything, and he felt a sense of urgency. The cabinet was going to intervene in the Ministry of Personnel so quickly, and his preparations should be accelerated.

Fu Changzong also had this idea. He watched coldly, saw Bi Ziyan's thoughts clearly, and secretly felt that the "aftermath" was accelerated.

Although Bi Ziyan was a little unwilling to accept it, he knew that he could not continue to force Zhou Yingqiu. He could only suppress his anger and agreed to Sun Chengzong's words, stood up and left the cabinet with him and went to the inner court.

Zhou Yingqiu stood up, looked at Fu Changzong and smiled and said, "Shangshu Fu, I recently got a jar of good wine. This weather is suitable for cooking wine. Do you want to drink a glass?"

Fu Changzong understood what he meant and nodded, "Okay, I'll bring some side dishes on the way, and I have something to ask for advice."

The two of them understood each other and left the cabinet side by side.

The others looked at the two of them and had a gut feeling in their hearts: these two people were going to formally form an alliance to confront Bi Ziyan of the cabinet.

‘Is this a new party struggle?’

Some people feel trembling and have a bad premonition.

Cining Palace.

There is a porcelain basin on a stove, which is boiling inside, with various dishes divided into several areas. The porcelain basin is surrounded by small plates, holding various meats, lettuces, and ingredients. A group of people are holding bowls, surrounding porcelain basin, holding bowls, and holding chopsticks.

Zhu Xu, Empress Dowager Zhang, Xiao Yongning and Li Xiangjun all had sweat on their noodles and their faces were red.

Zhu Xu also drank some wine, which was more comfortable. Looking at Xiao Yongning, who was the most enjoyable, he smiled and said, "How is it, is it delicious?"

The little girl was holding chopsticks and rinsing the meat, nodding repeatedly, and shouting crisply: "I knew that the emperor was good, and there was anything delicious, take it out quickly..."

Empress Dowager Zhang quickly knocked on her, then looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Okay, just eat this in the palace. Don't spread it. Do you think your reputation is not good enough, right?"

Zhu Xu's brows moved, helpless. Queen Mother Zhang was not very friendly to him today.

Li Xiangjun kept her head down, polite and polite, and ate slowly. She was also very novel about this method. Under the roasting of charcoal, her little face turned red and her face was covered with sweat.

Princess Le'an knew the truth and used the excuse to visit the old concubine to Renshou Hall before they started dinner.

It is the most comfortable to eat hot pot in the middle of winter. The cold is gone and the heat is sizzling.

Zhu Xu burned the wine, drank a few glasses and put them aside, and started serving the soup.

The little girl blinked and looked at Zhu Xu's wine pot, bit her chopsticks and said, "Uncle Emperor, can I drink your wine?"

"Eat your honestly!" Empress Dowager Zhang habitually knocked on her, then looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Has the cabinet not been dealt with yet? How long has it been?"

Zhu Xu was stunned, then turned his head and looked at Cao Huachun by the door.

Cao Huachun bowed slightly and said, "I will let you go and see it."

He was about to turn around, and an internal steward was outside, passing through the door, "Report to the Emperor, Master Bi Ge, Master Sun, Master Sun to ask for a meeting."

Zhu Xu took a sip of the soup and looked at Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "I'm here."

Empress Dowager Zhang came up again with anger and said coldly with her eyes: "This matter must be dealt with severely. If you can't do it, I will issue an order."

Zhu Xu blinked. The incident of Gong Yonggu being beaten was obviously so exciting to Queen Mother Zhang, for fear that he would protect Prince Jing again, Zhou Yingqiu refused to take action and lost the royal face.

If Empress Dowager Zhang really issued an imperial edict, Zhu Xu would be really hard to deal with, and the initiative must be in his hands.

After pondering, Zhu Xu said, "Let them get here."

"Yes." The inner supervisor outside agreed, and hurried footsteps sounded.

When Empress Dowager Zhang saw it, she turned to look at the two little girls and said, "Okay, I've eaten almost the same food, don't eat too much."

"I haven't eaten enough yet..." The little girl Buyi, the first time she ate like this, was reluctant to let go, even if her belly was already full.

Empress Dowager Zhang ignored it and said to Huaner directly, "Carry it out, and then notify Princess Le'an to come over. Let's hear how the cabinet deals with it."

"Yes." Huan'er responded, and asked someone to come and clean up, and at the same time sent someone to invite Princess Le'an.

The little girl was extremely reluctant and was driven back to her dormitory.

Not long after, Princess Le'an Zhu Huiti came, sat with Empress Dowager Zhang, waiting for the two cabinet masters to come.

After a while, Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong came in. When they saw this posture, they felt a little calmer. They raised their hand and said, "I have met the emperor, met the queen mother, and Princess Le'an."

Zhu Xu looked at them head-on and said directly, "What is the cabinet's opinion?"

Bi Ziyan hesitated a little and said, "When the emperor returned to the emperor, the cabinet agreed that Yuan Renxiao and Wei Xuelian were suspended, transferred, and fined him for half a year. The General Council, and the Ministry of Personnel also asked the emperor to inform him."

As soon as Bi Ziyan finished speaking, Zhu Huiti turned her head nervously and looked at Empress Dowager Zhang. This treatment was simply equivalent to covering up and there was no punishment.

Empress Dowager Zhang patted her hands, frowned and looked at Bi Ziyan, and looked at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu was quite surprised by the cabinet's handling, and it was so light that it could not be any more light. He realized that the cabinet's power over the six ministries was still too weak. Zhou Yingqiu, Fu Changzong, and King Jing were all too strong and had a deep foundation. It was too difficult for the cabinet to take the degree of handling.

‘It’s time to cheer up the cabinet…’

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the two of them, and snorted coldly, "What's the matter with this? It's raining all over the city now, and it's spreading, saying whether your cabinet will punish or cover up?"

Bi Zi bent down and couldn't find anything to say for a moment.

If he really dealt with it with a tough attitude, he would not be afraid of Zhou Yingqiu. The key is that Wei Xuelian is the emperor's person, and he has some concerns. If Wei Xuelian cannot be serious, what can Yuan Renxiao do? Moreover, Yuan Renxiao is also Yuan Keli's nephew, and he is also responsible for it, so it is difficult to deal with the importance.

It was really embarrassing him.

Zhu Xuqing knew Bi Ziyan's difficulties, and most of the reason for this difficulty lies with him. He slowly tapped his fingers and said decisively: "Yuan Renxiao and Wei Xuelian gathered to fight, knowing that the law was illegal, and were demoted to three levels in a row. They will not be promoted within three years! The Supervisor's Court warned him once and ordered King Jing to write a written review and send it to the court newspaper. The Ministry of Personnel abolished the public and vented his anger by venting his personal anger, which seriously violated the court's laws and regulations. Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Personnel, called him to use it and returned to the palace to reflect on himself. He was not allowed to leave the palace without an order!"

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong's expressions changed slightly, and they looked up at Zhu Xu in surprise.

Yuan Renxiao and Wei Xuelian's handling is nothing. The key is that King Jing and Zhou Yingqiu. If King Jing writes a "review letter" and sends it to the court newspaper, he will be very embarrassed. Zhou Yingqiu will be even more serious. A sentence of "refer to him to use it" is equivalent to losing his official position as the Minister of Personnel and thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors!

Even Zhu Huiti and Empress Dowager Zhang were shocked. They knew that King Jing and Zhou Yingqiu were the emperor's confidants. Such a disposal was so serious!

Zhu Huiti was nervous just now, but now she is scared.

Empress Dowager Zhang's face was slightly calmer and she opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she swallowed it without opening her mouth.

Bi Ziyan had excellent psychological quality and quickly calmed down and raised his hand and said, "Master, is this kind of disposal a little too heavy?"

Zhou Yingqiu was in the Ministry of Personnel for many years. He was a disciple of old officials and made friends all over the world. I don’t know how much shock he would cause when he “adjusted him to use it separately”.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Now is the juncture of the 'new policy', and we must strictly enforce discipline. Let's start with the court. Cao Huachun, let's draw an order."

"After the order." Cao Huachun responded, and he was also a little surprised.

Although the Ministry of Personnel had the intention of using public notice to report private matters, it was open and upright on the surface. Zhu Xu's handling of the fifty-year slaughter was actually favored by the Governor Yuan and King Jing, and also "dismissed" Zhou Yingqiu, which was very unfair to the Ministry of Personnel.

After the big stick, it was time to give sweet dates. Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong and said, "About the imperial examination, I have been reflecting on these days, and decided to re-release it and merge with the Royal Court's major exam. Whether it is a student of the Political Court or outside, you can participate. Once a year, the first 150 people will be admitted, and the top three will be awarded the magistrates. The others are county magistrates, the six ministries and nine temples are the last ones, all of which start from the grassroots level. In terms of age and the number of exams, the Royal Court is under the cabinet, so the imperial examination will be handed over to the Ministry of Personnel. What do you think?"

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong were stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xu's topic changed so quickly, and the previous matter was decided so?

Sun Chengzong reacted faster and pondered, "I think it's OK, but the syllabus of the Zhengyuan is completely different from what scholars outside the Zhengyuan have learned. This syllabus?"

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "The curriculum is determined by the Ministry of Personnel, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere." The curriculum determines the content of students' learning, and Zhu Xu will not allow others to interfere in this matter.

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan had expected it long ago, and had to respond when they heard this.

Zhu Xu decided on this matter and said, "The imperial examination will start in June next year. In addition, the year is approaching, and the promotion and transfer of officials must be strictly controlled. Since King Jing has entered the cabinet, some of the powers of the Supervisor's CPC Central Committee's verification and inspection are equivalent to handing over to the cabinet, and you all have to take responsibility..."

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan looked shocked again and looked up at Zhu Xu.

Having the right to verify the test means having the final decision. In this way, the emperor wants to hand over the final decision of the promotion and removal of officials to the cabinet!

This will completely control the Ministry of Personnel!

The power of appointing and removing officials is the most important power of the Ministry of Personnel. Such a change will make the mutual supervision of the Ministry of Personnel and the Governor's Court a relationship between the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel!

The Ministry of Personnel has weakened, strengthened the cabinet, and completely turned the Ministry of Personnel into a subordinate agency of the cabinet!

This is indeed the emperor's method. King Jing was transferred to the cabinet, probably just for now!

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong were shocked. They already knew that these were all planned by the emperor for a long time, but they were just taking advantage of this to accomplish something.

Bi Ziyan sighed in his heart that in terms of strategy and means, they are really not inferior to the emperor.
Chapter completed!
