Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting left Zhu Xu's class room, discussed for a while, and began to convene the cabinet, the six ministers, Zongren's mansion and others to discuss.

More than ten people held a meeting, each with their own opinions and ideas. Bi Ziyan was not enough to suppress everyone. In addition, the matter of "reducing title" was too complicated, and it was noisy for a while and it was too late to make a decision.

Zhu Xu could hear the sound outside inside, and looked at the design drawings in his hand with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This is a drawing for the expansion and redesign of the cabinet, which even marks all the class rooms, supporting facilities, large conference halls, etc. in very detailed. This drawing comes from the Ministry of Works, and it can be said that it considers everything, grand, majestic and in line with the current mainstream of frugality.

After careful observation, Zhu Xu looked up at Cao Huachun not far away and said, "Tell the cabinet, the Ministry of Works, I am not satisfied with this drawing. Also, the cabinet and the Grand Marshal's Office should be symmetrical and planned together. It cannot be designed alone. It must reflect the cabinet's Prime Minister for government affairs and the Grand Marshal's Office for the military. It must be majestic and grand enough!"

Cao Huachun stepped forward and took it and said, "Yes, I will transfer it to the cabinet now."

Zhu Xu was about to nod, but suddenly said: "Give the name of the cabinet: the cabinet office of the Prime Minister of Government Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and order the Ministry of Works to make a plaque."

Cao Huachun's expression moved slightly, and he immediately said, "Abide by the order."

This name further elevates the cabinet's status and becomes more clear and difficult to shake.

Zhu Xu didn't say anything else, and took the song to the original story casually.

While the cabinet was quarreling, Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Cao Wenzhao and others in Wucheng Pavilion were also continuing to discuss the military reform of the "Major Marshal's Mansion".

It is necessary to meet Zhu Xu's requirements of integration and integration, and to have enough elite troops to respond quickly, and to ensure that the Grand Marshal's Mansion and localities check and balance each other, and there will be no vassal states and threaten the country. Everyone also tried their best to do their best to fight and rack their brains.

Shen Yongmao was involved in the "military reform". He looked at a group of people and said: "The basic framework has been established, with nine departments and two bureaus, led by a duke, and the term of office is limited. Local provincial governments have 15,000 troops stationed, each military region has set up 50,000 battalions, and two battalions are set up near the capital..."

Sun Chengzong sat in the main seat and never spoke.

Cao Wenzhao was also listening silently. Obviously, Sun Chengzong and others had basically designed it, and there was no room for him to intervene. Moreover, such a design seemed to be more powerful. The local area had sufficient ability and power to respond quickly in special circumstances, and was not worried about the court's accountability. During this period, the camp could wait and see the changes and report to the court, with enough buffering time.

Of course, if you need to dispatch a large camp, it will definitely be a big deal, and the court's reaction will be quite fast.

Shen Yongmao talked for a long time, glanced at Sun Chengzong, turned to Cao Wenzhao and said, "What do General Cao think?"

Cao Wenzhao looked up, glanced at the few people, then frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "You are all thinking about it. You are a general. It is not advisable to say much, but you must be careful about the candidates to command the Grand Marshal's Mansion."

In the eyes of everyone, Cao Wenzhao was a spy sent by the emperor and a representative of the emperor. No one would underestimate it.

Sun Chengzong looked at him and said lightly: "What do you think?" Sun Chengzong seemed as majestic as a mountain now, deliberately putting pressure on Cao Wenzhao.

Sun Chengzong seemed to be asking Cao Wenzhao, but in fact everyone knew that this was a disguised person asking the emperor.

Cao Wenzhao has not seen Zhu Xu yet and is not clear about his thoughts, but based on his understanding, since the military reform is so big, it will never be just a simple unity and integration, and there should be other purposes.

"The officials are just suggesting for your reference." Cao Wenzhao said, his expression was still, and he was ashamed of his words as gold.

But Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others heard a different taste, and their expressions showed a thoughtful look on their faces.

After a while, Sun Chengzong said, "I will write a memorial book overnight and go to the cabinet tomorrow to present it with the emperor. General Cao will come too."

Cao Wenzhao didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhu Xu's pot now. He pondered for a while and nodded, "Yes."

"Then let's discuss the details." Shen Yongmao looked around and said.

Of course, everyone had nothing to say. "Military Reform" is of great importance and is also a redistribution of rights. No one wants to miss it.

The palace is busy in full swing, and the palace is becoming more and more lively now.

The issue of the royal family’s “reduction of titles” has sparked heated discussions in the capital. I don’t know how many people are talking about it. Some supportive and oppose them, and many people are still talking.

The most concerned are the princes and princes of the royal family. This kind of fortune and the endless descendants of their descendants are not at all careless. Even though he was already miserable by Zhu Xu, he still emerged and expressed his dissatisfaction in various ways.

After Zongzheng and King Lu entered the palace, princes and princes from all over the place gathered in the palace of Jin, and now he could only say something. At the same time, a group of princesses, princes and princesses entered the palace one after another, asking to see the old concubine, Queen Mother Zhang, Li Jieyu and others.

For a time, there were a lot of controversy inside and outside the palace, rumors spread everywhere, and the sky was noisy.

What is the saying that the emperor hates King Fu and hates the royal family deeply and wants to kill them all! What cabinet ministers have been resentful to the royal family for a long time, and now they have great power, so they have to take the opportunity to retaliate! Some clan members conspire to rebel, and the court wants to kill a warning to all the people, and there are countless lists.

Zhu Xu was in charge of the cabinet, as stable as Mount Tai, allowing rumors outside to roam around him. He remained tall and looked at the storm with a smile.

That night, in Cining Palace.

The old concubine, Empress Dowager Zhang, even Li Jieyu, Hai Lanzhu and others were called over and looked like they were tried in three parties.

Zhu Xu came in, looked at the posture, coughed, and said with a smile: "The concubine, the emperor's sister-in-law, why are there such a big disturbance?"

Queen Mother Zhang didn't say anything, her face was as deep as water, and her eyes were cold.

The old concubine looked very good, and looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, no matter how you govern, you will purify the world, the old woman doesn't care about it! It's just what the royal family is, it's our royal family, who guards all directions for the emperor and governs the world. To put it bluntly, it's the moat of our royal family. If this river is gone, the royal family will be in danger..."

Concubine Liu's tone was unprecedentedly heavy, with lessons, admonitions, and even a hint of pleading.

Concubine Liu was the Dinghai Sword in the Palace. After Zhu Xu ascended the throne, he helped him repeatedly to resolve the crisis in the Korean War. He was a very respectable old man.

Zhu Xu slowly closed the stiff smile on his face. He could not ignore the old concubine's words, nor did he not ignore the voice of Empress Dowager Zhang, and he was a little silent for a moment.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu's expression and felt a little reluctant. She said, "Emperor, the royal family is different from other people. They are flesh and blood, so you must not move lightly. The "reducing title" is especially unacceptable. Do you have any other registrations?"

Li Jieyu, Hai Lanzhu and others were not qualified to speak. They sat aside and looked at Zhu Xu with concern.

Zhu Xu glanced at Empress Dowager Zhang and looked at Empress Dowager Liu again. The old Empress Dowager was over 80 years old. Although it seemed to be improving, who knew that one day he would not be able to wake up early?

It's absolutely stimulating!

The old concubine looked at Zhu Xu, frowned, and said, "Emperor, tell me, what do you think in your heart?"

Zhu Xu originally wanted to sit down, but looking at this posture, he couldn't sit down at all. Looking at the old concubine, he pondered and said, "The concubine, the imperial sister-in-law, the population of the royal family, the sect's mansion counted about 400,000. What does this number represent? Even if each person has twenty stones a year, it is eight million a year. In addition to weddings and funerals, it can easily exceed tens of millions. The treasury of my treasury last year was only 18 million. It's not that I had to 'reduce the title', it's me, I really can't support them..."

He couldn't force himself, so he decided to take the sympathy route.

The old concubine looked slightly dark, and she was silent for a while, and said, "No matter what, the royal family is their own family and cannot be bullied by the adults of the outer court. You must express your opinion!"

Although Zhu Xu has been working hard and hopes to break the opposition between the internal and external courts, it is obviously not possible, and deep-rooted concepts are difficult to eliminate.

The old concubine said very firmly and her eyes were determined, and she was using her power to suppress others.

Zhu Xu had one hand behind him and rubbed his thumb. If he wanted to complete the "reduction of titles" against the royal family, the harem was a hurdle that he had to overcome.

After a while, Zhu Xu said, "So, the concubine, the emperor's sister-in-law, this matter has not been decided yet. The cabinet should have a detailed memorial submitted tomorrow. At that time, I will consult some princes of the royal family. If they do not agree, I will reject the cabinet and will not discuss this matter again within the next three years!"
