Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhu Xu, and when he saw that he trusted him so much, he was a little moved in his heart, and he was ashamed of his recklessness before, and bowed down respectfully and said, "It's the emperor." ” Zhu Xu said to Cao Huachun on the side, "Take the fifth emperor brother to the room on the left and prepare the pen and paper." ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun agreed, and gestured to Zhu Youzhen: "His Royal Highness King Xin, please." ” Zhu Youzhen saluted again and said, "The minister retired." ” Zhu Xu watched Zhu Youjian out, and then turned to Gu Bingqian, the corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled.
This old man is over seventy years old, and he also made his grandson in his forties recognize him as the son of Wei Zhongxian, who is about the same size.
Gu Bingqian was still thinking about how to contact the courtiers, and he must 'persuade' the emperor to limit the power of the king, preferably as a symbol, and not give real power, so as to ensure the stability of the country and the stability of the royal family.
It can be seen that Zhu Xu looked at him like this, he was stunned at first, and then bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Xin should move to the Ten Princes' Mansion......"
Zhu Xu waved his hand to interrupt him, walked down from the soft collapse, paced a few steps, and looked at him with a smile and said, "You are the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and all the edicts of the cabinet still need to be signed by the auxiliary minister."
Fifth Emperor Brother, it's just waiting for me to review it, don't worry. ” Gu Bingqian didn't dare to relax a little, and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of official position is arranged by King Xin?"
” "No official title," Zhu Xu had already thought about it and said: "Xinwang is an auxiliary government, and he can supervise all government affairs, and the cabinet is no exception." ” Gu Bingqian is an old bureaucrat, and he grasped the word 'supervision' very knowingly, slightly pleased, and said with understanding: "The old minister understands that in the future, the cabinet will ask His Royal Highness the King to add a vote and then send it to the celebrant supervisor." ” Zhu Xu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Go, the election of the ministers of the court is the responsibility of the cabinet, discuss it with King Xin, and then take it to me." ” "Obey."
Gu Bingqian knew that the new emperor did not mean to let King Xin be in charge of everything, so he withdrew with confidence.
At the same time, I made up my mind that I must do everything possible to compete for power with King Xin, and I must not let King Xin sit so big that it threatens the country.
After Gu Bingqian left, Zhu Xu stood in place, paused and said: "Xiao Cao, in the future, the excerpts sent to the celebrant supervisor do not need to be approved, all of them are classified into categories, those involving government affairs and official governance, and they will be sent to the room on the left, and those involving military affairs will be sent to the right side of the military department." ” Cao Huachun's face changed slightly, His Royal Highness King Hui, no, is the emperor going to deprive the celebrant of the right to approve red?
However, he was only slightly shocked in his heart, and did not question much, bowed down and said, "The slave obeys the order." ” After arranging these, Zhu Xu took a long breath and said, "How long is it until Chaohe?"
” Liu Shimin took a step forward and said, "Back to the emperor, there is still half an hour." ” "Let's go, go to Kunning Palace."
Zhu Xu raised his feet and walked outside, after most of the night, Empress Zhang should have eased up.
Zhu Xu is now in a different identity, and he is at a special critical moment.
As soon as he left Wenzhao Pavilion, both the guards and the pomp were amazing, and there were more than 100 people following him left and right, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
However, when he arrived at Kunning Palace, Zhu Xu still left everyone outside the door and walked in with Cao Wenzhao, Liu Shimin, and Cao Bianjiao.
At this moment, there are already many people in the courtyard, led by the Ministry of Rites, and various yamen are participating in preparing for the funeral.
Everyone saluted, and Zhu Xu waved his hand and walked into the room.
Empress Zhang's face was haggard, holding Xiao Yongning, standing at the window, looking at the busy crowd in the courtyard, among them, Zhu Youxiao's body was placed in the center.
Seeing Zhu Xu coming over, she smiled stiffly and said, "You......
I've seen the emperor. ” Zhu Xu hurriedly supported Queen Zhang, who was about to salute, and his heart was heavy for a long time, so he could only stammer: "Imperial sister-in-law, the festival mourning changes." ” Empress Zhang smiled reluctantly and said, "Well, today is your first time, don't be rude, go and prepare, don't worry about me." ” Zhu Xu looked at Empress Zhang's smiling and stiff face, then looked at Xiao Yongning who was sleeping in her arms, and said softly: "Imperial sister-in-law, eat something and sleep for a while, otherwise you will have to worry more when Xiao Yongning wakes up." ” Queen Zhang looked at the pink and tender Xiao Yongning in her arms, and Zhengxiang who was sleeping with her mouth pouted, and only then did she show a little smile on her face.
Zhu Xu didn't know how to comfort her, so he stood with her for a while, and only left Kunning Palace under Liu Shimin's repeated urging.
Although it is the first time to ascend, but the ritual is also extremely complicated, he has to go through the three halls of the outer court to show that the world, and then he can receive the congratulations of the ministers in the imperial palace, which is almost equivalent to rehearsing the ceremony of ascending the throne first.
Zhu Xu arrived at the Jianji Hall first and changed into a dragon robe that came out of the hurry.
Zhu Xu stood there, letting the palace maid tinker with him.
A dragon robe is extremely cumbersome, and from the beginning to the end, a stick of incense may not be enough.
Zhu Youzhen and Gu Bingqian were not far from him, and Zhu Xu was looking at the two of them and the excerpts in his hand.
The above are all recommendations from the cabinet auxiliary ministers and the addition of important members of the six ministries and nine secretaries.
Zhu Youzhen and Gu Bingqian don't seem to be favoritism, and there are several candidates for many positions, waiting for Zhu Xu to be determined.
Zhu Xu looked at the candidates one by one, and thought to himself, 'I'm afraid that these two haven't figured out my temper yet, so they are more fair, and I'm afraid that I won't have the same treatment as today in the future.' ’ Cabinet, to be added to the list: Ye Xianggao, Han Yi, Zhu Guozuo, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guopu.
Choose three out of six.
The Ministry of Officials, Zhou Yingqiu is recommended, Li Qiyuan is the Household Department, Li Sicheng is the Ministry of Rites, Feng Jiahui is the Ministry of War, Xu Zhaokui is the Criminal Department, Shang Shufang of the Ministry of Industry is magnificent, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, Yang Lian, and Dali Siqing recommend Zhao Han.
These are the exchange of interests, which are more or less the same.
Zhu Xu was very interesting in his heart, the first three ministers of the cabinet were all going to be reinstated, and then almost all of the six Shangshu would have to be replaced, and the other nine secretaries, the six squires and the like would be announced on the day of their accession to the throne to show the new atmosphere of the new dynasty.
This is not a son of heaven and a courtier, but the result of the natural evolution of the Ming Dynasty, no one can stay in a position for too long, unless the emperor is too insistent.
Emperor Wanli was better, and he had very strict control over the court, but when it came to the Apocalypse, the two dynasties of Chongzhen were almost like watching the lights and never stopped.
Zhu Xu looked at this list, thought for a while, and said: "The cabinet supplement is empty first, and someone will be sent to ask Ye Lao and the others what they mean.
By the way, there is still a lack of a senator in the General Political Envoy Department, and Yuan Shu's son is edicted, and Yuan Shu fills the vacancy. ” Zhu Youzhen and Gu Bingqian both knew that the new emperor of Hubu Shangshu wanted to give his uncle, Fu Changzong, but Fu Changzong's current status as a relative was too obvious, and he was afraid that the court would be sad.
In the military department, when the two of them heard the name of 'Yuan Keli', they were also thoughtful.
Both of them secretly speculated that the new emperor was only afraid that he would use these official positions to teach favor to some people, and he could not argue at such a time, so he had to make plans after he ascended the throne.
After all, these are just private drafts, and after all, they will still discuss in the court and will push.
To show fairness.
